Chapter 288 The Origin of the Root Carving Peony

Ximen arrived at the Queen Mother's Chumin Palace as expected, and Su Ranhua thought about the relationship between the third lady and the Queen Mother, so he didn't hesitate to take Liu Er.

Su Ranhua knew that her whereabouts had been under people's noses, and she was stared at very closely, and she was also sure that those invisible eyes were instructed by Ximen Hao.

Su Ranhua can't forget what Ximen Hao said to her in the carriage on the way into the palace, "Keep the New Year safe", that is, to spend the night safely, what he said counts, that is, he has been suspicious of her these days,

It's no wonder that Xiaocui is dead, silently, even Su Ranhua doesn't believe that such a quiet person is herself, where did she go in the past, where did she go in the past.

Just because she has an inexplicable poison in her body, she has to endure her temperament, not to be timid and afraid of death, but to handle everything properly and live up to the people who died in vain.

For Bai Yiyi, the culprit, she will not let go, for the person who beat Xiaocui to death with her own hands, Ximen Hao, she wants to punish him with Bai Yiyi's life, can this be evened,

Acting under the nose of a person, Su Ran painting must be extra cautious, she has no way to find evidence, she can only rely on her own mouth and apply it to all aspects of her mastery, forcing Bai Yiyi to reveal her original form, she has to deploy every joint point,

Plotting and thinking all the way, Su Ran came to Chu Min Palace,

"Hey, the Queen Mother is not here," I didn't see the Queen Mother, Su Ran's painting was a little strange,

"Imperial sister-in-law," Ximen came over in the evening, and in front of everyone, she was called Su Ran as her duty, and she painted a royal sister-in-law.

"What about the Queen Mother," Su Ran asked,

"It's the first time you've entered the palace for the New Year, so naturally you don't know the rules," Ximen Wan pulled Su Ran's painting to a corner, "The Queen Mother is chanting in the Buddhist hall,"

"At this time," Su Ran was puzzled,

"Let's go, it's still early, let's go outside," Ximen walked outside the Chu Min Palace with Su Ran's painting, there are many people in the palace, and it is really not good to talk much,

"The Queen Mother has to chant at this time of year," Ximen Wan explained in a low voice, "Speaking of which, it is still related to the root carving of peonies,"

"Oh," Su Dye has always been curious about the root carving peony, and I don't understand how the Queen Mother could be afraid of such a thing,

"When Shu Taishi's rebellion was revealed, his daughter Shu Concubine was pregnant with Liujia, and the father wanted to wait for Shu Concubine to give birth before giving birth, some people were afraid that Shu Concubine would give birth to the prince at that time, change the death penalty, and secretly make the means of damage, and wanted to make Shu Concubine stillborn, the Queen Mother was merciful, and in case of accidents, Shu Concubine was taken to Chu Min Palace to have a safe birth, as a result, Shu Concubine was overly nervous, and she knew the fate of the nine clans who were full of copied and beheaded plants, and she was afraid to lose her heart and go crazy, and she mutilated herself one night in the womb of the fetus, and held a root carved peony in Chu Min Palace in her bloody hand, and hit the Queen Mother hard, At that time, the Queen Mother saw the fetus that had been formed with blurred flesh and blood, and in the despondency, she saw the root carving peony coming, and since then she has been horrified by the root carving peony,"

"At that time, the Queen Mother was very fond of peonies, especially carved products, and there were a lot of hidden in the palace, since that incident, the Queen Mother ordered to destroy all peony ornaments, especially the root carved peony, because she almost killed the Queen Mother, even if Shu Concubine had lost her mind at that time, but her father was furious, and still gave her five clothes, so that she suffered five days of pain and died tragically,"

"So that's the case," Su Ranhua realized after listening to Ximenwan's words, and unconsciously knew a little bit of news about the dispersion of Wufu,

"The father and the emperor have always blamed themselves, if it weren't for the dragon vein in Shu Concubine's belly, so that she and the Shu family would not have been up and down, that appalling thing would not have happened," Ximen Wan continued, "Therefore, since then, the matter of Shu Concubine and the root carving peony have become a secret in the palace, no one dares to provoke the father and the emperor to bring up the old matter, and no one dares to disturb the Queen Mother, just on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve in the year of the incident, the Queen Mother had a dream, dreaming that a child with blurred flesh and blood was crying to the Queen Mother, and after waking up, the Queen Mother thought that the child of Shu Concubine was unwilling to die a tragic death, and complained to the Queen Mother, The Queen Mother promised to chant sutras for him in the Buddhist hall at this time of year, in fact, after so many years, the child should have been reincarnated, but the Queen Mother's chanting has become a habit,"

Just after Su Ranhua thought that Ximen Wan had finished speaking, he didn't expect Ximen Wan to continue to add, "There are still five suits scattered, after the father gave Shu Concubine to die, some people in the court blamed the father for being heavy, and used this poison for a delirious concubine, if Shu Concubine was not sick, she would never have stabbed her unborn child, and made such a crazy move, and finally forced by the courtiers to condemn, the father followed the proposal of the ministers and listed the five suits as a forbidden drug, even if it is a royal poison, it is no longer used, and the world is not allowed to use it,"

"Because of the death of Shu Concubine, due to the efforts of the courtiers, the same cruel punishment was reduced," Ximen said in the evening, since the establishment of the Qingyuan Dynasty, there have been a lot of unbelievable punishments, but it is just a death, there are so many tricks, it is really a good death,

It turns out that there is such a meaning in the five service scattering, and it seems that the queen's private collection of five service scatter is not trivial, Su Ran painted his heart,

"This is also what I have heard intermittently from other people's mouths, you know that these are palace secrets, no one dares to say them to you in detail like me, they are all from the words they inadvertently leaked," Ximen said later,

"Then are you also risking your head to tell me a story," Su Ranhua said with a smile.

"I know you've always been curious about the peony, so I'll give you an answer," Simon said later, suddenly thinking of one thing, and looked around,

"Wan'er, what are you looking at," Su Ran asked,

"The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion don't seem to have come, in previous years, your father and the eldest lady came to ask the Queen Mother for peace, but now that the eldest lady is gone, the second lady is disfigured again, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the big scene, I don't know if your father will bring your mother here," Ximen said later,

"I don't think so," Su Ran said, "I guess he'd rather come alone than bring my mother,"

A few days ago, at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Su Luocheng ignored the gossip and entered the palace alone, with the first time, this second time is naturally the same, it's not a big deal,

The two were talking outside Chu Min's palace when they saw Su Luocheng coming.

"You really guessed right," Ximen Wan whispered, pulling Su Ran's painting to the side,

Although Su Luocheng saw Su Ran's painting, but when he saw her avoiding her, he didn't speak, and pretended not to see it and entered Chu Min Palace.

In fact, today's courtiers don't have to come to the Queen Mother to ask for peace in advance, but since Su Luocheng married Yang Ruoqing next to the Queen Mother, this unwritten rule has been formed.

Su Ranhua stared at the back of Su Luocheng walking into Chu Min Palace, it was indeed familiar, but it was not Su Luocheng, it should be the stand-in of Su Luocheng who saw the eldest lady on the day she died.

Su Ranhua's heart tightened, his brows twisted slightly, Su Luocheng's stand-in entered the palace at this important time, what is Su Luocheng doing, is there anything more important to do,
