084. Dilemma
Mu Wanqing entered the palace for two days, everything went well, she quickly adapted to life in the palace, the queen mother was sick, Emperor Qi Wen also ordered that the concubines do not have to come to visit often, Mu Wanqing stayed in the Wanshou Palace all day, and she didn't even see Mu Yanrong's shadow, but Concubine Shu came once, and she said a few words when she saw her.
Huo Chen is less coming, it seems that he is busy with political affairs.
The Queen Mother has already taken a few doses of medicine, and her body is much better, her prescription should not be taken too much, and she will have to change the prescription if she takes it again.
Mu Wanqing was sometimes too busy, so Chunxi did the work of decocting the medicine.
It was noon, after the Queen Mother had lunch, Chunxi came in with the medicine, Mu Wanqing took it over, ready for the Queen Mother to drink, but saw that Chunxi was still standing next to her, her face was not very good-looking, she was a little puzzled, and asked, "Chunxi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Chunxi was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head: "No...... There is no ......"
Mu Wanqing felt that Chunxi was a little inexplicable, but the Queen Mother couldn't delay drinking the medicine, so she asked the Queen Mother to drink the medicine.
"Madame!" Chunxi saw the Queen Mother take a sip of the medicine, but she still couldn't help but speak, "That medicine can't be drunk!" ”
She hadn't reacted yet, but the Queen Mother spit out all the medicinal juice and stained her clothes, and it was only for a moment that the Queen Mother actually vomited a mouthful of blood, and in addition to the brown medicinal juice on the plain white clothes, countless small red flowers bloomed!
Mu Wanqing was shocked, hurriedly took the medicine and put it down, checked the situation of the Queen Mother, and immediately sealed the Queen Mother's throat with a silver needle to prevent the medicine from flowing down, and her series of actions made the Queen Mother's brows stretch slightly.
checked the pulse of the Queen Mother again, and the pulse began to be messy and vague again. She glared at Chunxi, saw that Chunxi was already kneeling on the ground, and asked sharply, "You dare to do anything else?!" ”
"Slaves don't dare! Someone instructed the slave and the maid! Someone forced the slaves! Chunxi panicked and quickly shook her head, as if this would show her innocence.
Although the Queen Mother was tired, she knew that someone was harming her, and she didn't close her eyes to rest, she rolled in the palace for a long time, and she was used to seeing this kind of thing, but she also behaved very calmly: "Who instructed you?" ”
Chunxi pursed her lips, tears rolling in her eyes, but she didn't dare to speak.
"Chunxi, just now you said that you can't drink the medicine, which proves that you still have a trace of conscience, you say it, and let the Queen Mother administer justice for you." Mu Wanqing looked at Chunxi's pitiful appearance, and she couldn't bear it.
Chunxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's Manyuan...... She was the one who asked me to take one of the herbs when I decocted the herb. ”
Mu Wanqing was stunned, taking poison as medicine, you need to control the amount of medicine, and nothing less can be less in order to neutralize the toxicity, she has been busy for the past two days, seeing that Chunxi is careful and very well-behaved, she handed over the decoction to her, who knows that it will make people take advantage of the loophole.
The Queen Mother leaned on the silk soft pillow, and still couldn't help but smile in a low voice, but she coughed constantly: "It's a shame that the queen has so much thought, and she actually started with the people around the mourning family." ”
Mu Wanqing hurriedly stroked the Queen Mother to make the Queen Mother feel better.
"Queen Mother, I'm afraid this matter is coming for Qing'er." Mu Wanqing sighed, knowing in her heart that Mu Yanrong was dissatisfied with her, this time she was treating the Queen Mother, of course she had to make good use of the opportunity, "But Qing'er doesn't understand, why is the queen's hands and feet more disadvantageous, and let Manyuan instruct Chunxi, isn't it pointing the finger at herself?" ”
"She has her own excuse to get out for herself, and the mourning family sees that she has been standing in the harem for many years, and now only Concubine Shu can check and balance her." The Queen Mother was worried, and she was really afraid that Mu Yanrong would force the palace to abdicate one day.
Mu Wanqing frowned, she didn't know much about the things in the palace, she only felt that she had fallen into the boundless hell now.
"The Queen Mother, in fact, someone sent a message to the slave maid, saying that it was the meaning of Manyuan, if the slave and maid refused, the slave and maid would be beaten to death, the slave and maid were forced, and the slave and maid did not want to be whipped to death." Chunxi's tears finally flowed.
"You are a person from Wanshou Palace, even if you want to punish you, you have to ask the Queen Mother what she means, you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, how can you stay by the Queen Mother's side and serve." There was a trace of annoyance on Mu Wanqing's face, but Chunxi was only fifteen years old, and everyone was afraid of death, remembering that two days ago Chunxi said that Manyuan was terrible, Chunxi's heart was already very afraid of Manyuan, but this also happened to make people take advantage of her.
"The slave knows that she is wrong, please forgive the queen mother." Chunxi's whole body trembled, "Madam, the slave really knows that she is wrong. ”
The Queen Mother was a little bored, thinking that she had heard too many of these words, so she said: "You go down first, and the mourning family will be tired of listening to your voice." ”
Chunxi didn't dare to linger and walked out unsteadily.
"Queen Mother, how do you feel now?" Mu Wanqing is still more worried about the Queen Mother's body.
The Queen Mother's heart was already cold at this time, even if her body was not good, it didn't matter, she grabbed Mu Wanqing's hand: "Qing'er, you want to assist Chen'er, okay?" ”
Mu Wanqing was stunned, and her heart was in a mess.
"The Queen Mother's ......"
"The queen has done her part, do you still want to help the queen?" The Queen Mother's voice was a little hurried, "She asked people to spread the message, but there is no real evidence, if the mourning family sues the emperor, it will be useless, but it will say that the mourning family let Chunxi tell lies, or, that you don't take good care of you." She is your aunt, and she wants to do you so harm. ”
"Qing'er knows, but Daddy and Brother treat Qing'er very well." Mu Wanqing lowered her head.
Could it be that she made the wrong choice? Why did she get into trouble as soon as she entered the palace, is this a dismount for her or what?
The Queen Mother was gloomy, knowing that her persuasion was useless.
He Naihuo Chen fought alone.
The Queen Mother didn't expect Mu Yirou to help Huo Chen with anything.
"Qing'er......" the Queen Mother murmured, "Chen'er has always been isolated, his mother is gone, and the mourning family can't help." ”
"Then why fight, won't the world be peaceful?" Mu Wanqing couldn't help but say loudly.
Since ancient times, there have been sacrifices in contention, and there are often rivers of blood, and it is the people who suffer.
"If Chen'er doesn't fight, I'm afraid he won't even be able to save his life. He was born in the royal family, and he was destined to such a fate, all of which was beyond his control. ”
Mu Wanqing lowered her head, but muttered, "Then why did he marry me?" Qing'er is in a dilemma, and now she just wants to stay out of the palace when she enters the palace, so the Queen Mother won't say more. ”
The Queen Mother was speechless and looked at Mu Wanqing in a daze.
"Qing'er go get some pills and slowly remove the toxins from the Queen Mother's body, the Queen Mother only drank one sip, and it's fine." Mu Wanqing got up, and she didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore.
How could she have the ability to assist Huo Chen, she couldn't even control her own fate.
Throughout the afternoon, Mu Wanqing was absent-minded, and several times Zhi Ning called her softly, but she didn't respond.
