In the Changxin Palace, the Empress Dowager woke up from the nightmare and shouted urgently: "Ah! ”

"Why did the mother wake up?" Aunt Mu walked in from outside the hall, stepped forward to help her sit up, stuffed a pillow behind her, and poured a glass of warm boiled water.

The Empress Dowager drank a few sips of boiled water in silence, and leaned on the pillow for a while before saying, "I dreamed of the first emperor just now." ”

Aunt Mu sat down and held her hand and comforted softly, "It's just a dream." The first emperor has been gone for several years. ”

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and said softly: "The first emperor asked me how the Zhou family died. He also said that one day there will always be a descendant of the Yuwen clan who will come to speak for him. ”

Aunt Mu asked, "So how did Niangniang answer the first emperor?" ”

A sneer appeared on the Empress Dowager's lips: "Of course I told him that life and death are rich and noble, and the Zhou family doesn't have that blessing, but he wants to give her so much wealth, she can't stand it, so she can only die." ”

Aunt Mu was relieved: "It's all in the past, and now that Niangniang is better off than anyone else, don't think about it anymore." ”

The Empress Dowager covered her eyes with her hands with some sadness: "No, I'm not doing well, I'm tired, I miss my Tong'er." If he is alive, where does he need this old woman of mine to work so hard? A group of orphans and widows...... Who doesn't want this great river and mountain? ”

Aunt Mu saw the tears shining between the empress dowager's fingers, sighed faintly, and persuaded: "Don't think so, Niangniang, it's too late for many people to envy you......"

Suddenly, a suppressed voice from the palace people came from outside the hall: "Auntie." ”

At this time, when you come to seek, there must be something important. Aunt Mu patted the Empress Dowager's hand soothingly, got up and walked outside, and came back quickly after a while, and said softly: "Niangniang." ”

"What's wrong?" The Empress Dowager sat up vigilantly, after experiencing the death of the first emperor and the sudden death of her only son, there was nothing to frighten her.

"It's a girl." Aunt Mu said: "The king of England sent the little eunuch next to him to bring in the seal letter, saying that the girl was seriously ill and wanted the slave maid to take a look." ”

"What kind of emergency?" The Empress Dowager asked again in disbelief: "That child is still alive during the day, what disease can she have?" ”

Aunt Mu was afraid of scaring her, so she compromised and said, "It is said that it is a heart attack." ”

"How did Yu Wenchu take care of her?!" The corners of the Empress Dowager's lips suddenly drooped, and she was about to get angry, but Aunt Mu hurriedly said: "Niangniang, don't hold back!" ”

The Empress Dowager endured it for a while before she became weak: "There are more and more strange things, so you can go and take a look for me." Don't let others bully my kids. ”

Aunt Mu quickly packed up her things, and then ordered someone to quietly announce the most trusted Imperial Doctor Jiang, and drove Jian Cong towards the British Palace.

Yu Wenchu greeted her outside Yinghui Hall and briefly told her what had happened. The more Aunt Mu listened, the more frightened she became: "Can't find the cause of the poisoning?" She raised her head abruptly to look at Yu Wenchu, and said softly: "The princess just drank a bowl of sweet soup that nourishes qi and nourishes blood at the Empress Dowager yesterday, and the soup was presented by me personally, and I also tasted it myself. ”

Yu Wenchu nodded and said frankly: "She also ate a lot of things in my mother's palace, and she even ate a lot after she came back. ”

Seeing that he handled it properly, Aunt Mu was also very honest, and her heart was much more steady: "I believe that this matter has nothing to do with the concubine Niangniang." Of course, it can't be Yu Wenchu, he can't do everything possible to marry Mingzhu into the door just to poison her, it's not a marriage, but a feud.

At the critical moment, you can see a person's ability, and today this matter is changed to a timid person who is not responsible or has a weak heart, and will probably cover it and hide it, not to mention the delay, and after several batches of people will reach the ears of the Queen Mother, it will completely change its taste. Thanks to Yu Wenchu's thoughtfulness, meticulousness and courage, he invited her as soon as possible, and everyone made it clear in person.

Imperial Physician Jiang showed Mingzhu and discussed it with Tang Chunlai, and came to the same conclusion as Tang Chunlai: "Purple Oceanosum is violently toxic, if it enters from the mouth, it is fast and fierce, and it will attack in less than a quarter of an hour." But listening to the maid, the princess was still very energetic before going to bed last night, so it can be seen that the poison is slow to attack, not like an acute attack after the entrance. Therefore, Xia Guan thought that it was not necessarily from the diet, but it was better to explore from the utensils that the princess usually used and the things she had come into contact with in her daily life, and perhaps she could find more clues. ”

Aunt Mu frowned and said, "Other things can be slowed down for the time being, I only care, can people be in trouble?" When can I wake up? ”

Tang Chunlai said happily: "I discussed it with Imperial Doctor Jiang just now, and we agreed that the treatment was timely, the princess was fine, and she would wake up early tomorrow." ”

The treatment was timely, as if Tian shamelessly put gold on his face, but in fact, he was explaining to his master, King Ying, saying how much the King himself looked at the princess, and asked the Queen Mother and Fu to rest assured.

Aunt Mu understood very well in her heart, first let the precious medicinal materials she brought from the palace hand over to the people of the British Palace, and then respectfully asked Yu Wenchu to take a step to speak: "This matter can't be just counted in vain, what should be investigated must be investigated, whoever dares to do it, then he will have to pay the price." ”

Yu Wenchu said in a deep voice: "I must investigate, even if I don't give an explanation to the Empress Dowager and Fu Xiang, I have to give Mingzhu an explanation." It's just that I thought about it, it's better not to spread this matter, otherwise I'm afraid there will be a lot of things that shouldn't be talked about. ”

People's hearts are the most terrible, especially in places like the palace, the poisoning of pearls, under the explanation of people with ulterior motives, there can be many versions, such as the hands of Empress Dowager Min's mother and son; For example, Concubine Min doesn't like Mingzhu's hands; It can also be a good play played by the Queen Mother because of jealousy. Either way, it's not what they want to see and hear. The best thing to do is to leave the real murderer at a loss.

Aunt Mu was very appreciative: "Your Highness is really wise. According to what you say, I will tell my mother when I go back and suppress this matter. ”

Yuwen Chu sent Aunt Mu back, only then did he find that he was untidy, needless to say that his hair had never been combed, and his underwear was even more wrinkled.

This is really, he smiled bitterly, even when the imperial father and the imperial brother died, he was not so embarrassed, just because at that time he already knew that the imperial father would leave sooner or later; Although the imperial brother is friendly with him, he is also guarding against him, he has long known that the imperial brother is violently ill, but he does not dare to enter the palace because he has not been summoned by the palace for a long time, let alone show that he already knows the news.

So he behaved flawlessly before and after, only she, he took Mingzhu's hand and held it in his palm, only she made him mess up, and he did not hesitate to expose himself to his opponent early. So the poison she has today, even if it is because she is the daughter of the Fu family, it is also for him. Such a delicate person must be in pain.
