CHAPTER XXXIX
The halls of the Shang Palace Bureau and the harem are separated by red and willow green, and a small eunuch can be seen hurriedly walking between the Qingxi and different rocks from a distance, as if he is going to walk towards the warm pavilion of King Qian.
Because it is close to the middle of the Yuan, King Qian is the prince under the name of the queen, so his identity is extraordinary, and he can also stay in the warm pavilion in the palace these days, but it is a little remote here, and ordinary people often do not step here.
At this moment, just after the hour, the eunuch looked nervous, looked around, and sure enough, walked towards the warm pavilion of the king of piety.
"Squeak", the door of the warm pavilion opened, King Qian was drinking tea in front of the desk, but his close eunuch Cen Shun was studying ink on the side.
The eunuch fell to the ground, raised his hands above his head, and presented a letter, saying, "Your Highness, this is a secret letter, which has been sent here after several rounds, and the writer says that it is better that you do not know whose hand it is. ”
King Qian was confused when he heard this, and the eunuch was even more misty when he spoke, and he couldn't figure it out, so King Qian took the letter, opened it and read it carefully, and he was quite shocked by the handwriting on it and the content of the letter.
The eunuch who delivered the letter spoke: "The slave's duty has been completed, and if His Highness has no other instructions, the servant will retire." ”
King Qian was about to urge the eunuch to leave, so he waved his hand and told him to retreat.
Closing the door of the palace, Cen Shun asked, "Your Highness, what is written in the letter?" ”
King Qian's vicious aura has been revealed, making Cen Shun slightly frightened, King Qian lit the letter paper and burned it to ashes, and said in a low voice: "In the evening, in front of the palace palace, that palace maid will definitely appear." ”
"Which ...... Lady-in-waiting? ”
"It's the palace maid who has a rebellious manuscript in her hand, Qiao Hua. Unexpectedly, the Ru Pei sent by this king was of no use at all, and he worked hard for his mother to plan it himself. ”
Cen Shun was skeptical and asked, "Are you saying that this letter was written by the queen?" ”
King Qian realized that he was fast-mouthed, waved his hand and said: "Since the sword has been unsheathed, let's do it, this king still doesn't believe it, can't you clean up a palace maid!" With that, the king turned around, sat down on the throne, and struck a heavy blow on the table.
As soon as the words fell, Cen Shun was still about to speak, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside.
King Qian stood up vigilantly and asked, "Who?!" ”
No one answered, as if they weren't coming this way.
Cen Shun immediately stepped forward, opened the door of the shop, and saw a few little eunuchs outside running towards the west in a hurry, so he casually pulled one and asked, "What's going on?" ”
The eunuch was obviously also anxious, and replied: "Hey, I don't know what's going on in this palace, many people are drowsy, nauseous and nauseous, and the whole palace is full of smoke and miasma, not only the harem, but even the Shanggong Bureau has also suffered!" ”
"How so?"
"I don't know, this father-in-law, let me run an errand first, the hospital in the palace is too busy."
In this way, Cen Shun had to let the eunuch go first.
King Qian didn't know when he also stood behind Cen Shun, and when he saw a miasma of smoke in the palace, he couldn't help frowning, and saw several palace goddesses coming in the direction of the Tai Hospital with medicine boxes in a panic.
Seeing this, King Qian took the first step to stop the palace maids and asked, "Why do you look so flustered?" ”
The palace goddess headed by her bowed in embarrassment, regarded as a salute, and said: "Your Highness, you don't know, everyone has rumored that it is the unjust soul of the virtuous concubine who has come to the door!" You don't know yet, in the early days of Concubine Xian's sudden illness, it was like this, dizziness, fatigue, vomiting, abdominal pain, today on July 14, many people in the palace got exactly the same symptoms! ”
"Ridiculous, who is spreading rumors about these ghosts and gods?"
"Your Highness, forgive your sins, now that there are people in the palace, it has long been spread out of place, plus there were cries every night for the first two nights, didn't you hear your Highness? Even His Majesty has not been able to rest well in the past few days, which shows how terrible this thing is. ”
King Qian's eyes were a little flustered, and he shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, dare to talk like this nonsense in front of this king, don't you want your own head?" ”
The palace maids hurriedly knelt down and admitted their mistakes.
It was inconvenient for the pious king to continue the attack, so he relieved himself and said, "Go, go, don't get in the way of this king's eyes here!" ”
After the group of palace ladies had gone, King Qian returned to the warm pavilion, closed the door tightly, and stared blankly at the ashes of the letter in the candlestick.
When approaching the unitary, the sun has a tendency to set in the west, and the Daming Palace is busy for the sudden illness and tomorrow's Zhongyuan Festival, as if there is really a ghost entangled, and it is not peaceful for a moment.
There was such a big thing, and all the rooms of the Shanggong Bureau were naturally like a wave, Qiao Hua sat indifferently at the wooden table, calmly looking at the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went.
Qiao Hua recalled the situation in the morning, but he didn't expect the medicine given by Su Jieyu to have such a great effect, and the words he said at that time were still clear in his ears: "...... After taking it, there will be the initial symptoms of Concubine Xian's illness, but don't worry, this medicine can't hurt the body, this is what I asked Jiang Cheng to find Langzhong in Chang'an, everything can be assured. This method is indeed a good strategy, and you must not take the initiative to make a move, you just need to do what I said next, you can have a chance to frustrate Ru Pei's spirit, and perhaps, you can also suffer with the pious king. ”
Qiao Hua thought of Ru Pei who rushed to deliver the ingredients, and remembered that she swore in front of everyone in front of the sky, it turned out that Su Jieyu meant this.
Once the plan is carried out, it is not a decision, but a top-notch policy.
Because according to Ru Pei's unreasonableness, she will definitely send the two baskets of vegetables, Qiao Hua secretly beat the drum in her heart, Ru Pei is indeed tired this time.
Qiao Hua's heart slowly calmed down, it was like a pool of still water, the waves were not happy, she waited for Caiqin to come back, and the two of them could still talk to each other.
However, the left and right couldn't wait for Caiqin, only waiting for a letter from a palace maid with a face.
Qiao Huahu was suspicious: "This is for me?" ”
"Yes, Miss Caiqin entrusted me to you."
Qiao Hua accepted the letter and sat down, the palace maid had slipped out at some point, but it was Fu'an, who was busy with her own affairs, and came to Qiao Hua.
Qiao Hua handed the letter to Fu'an, who frowned slightly after reading it.
The handwriting of this letter is Cai Qin's, Qiao Hua will not fail to recognize it, the letter wrote that Cai Qin is waiting for him in the Yijiang Hall at the moment, so that he can go to meet him more than half of the time, Cai Qin also wrote that he has come up with better dance steps, which will definitely make Luo Sile's eyes shine.
Qiao Hua looked at the sky, under the slightly yellowing sun, the busy harem had gradually calmed down, and listening to the palace maids passing by, it seemed that everyone's illness had been alleviated again, and the hospital was also relaxed.
Qiao Hua was clear in his heart, because the medicinal properties of that medicine were not strong.
It's just that now that he has this letter in his hand, Qiao Hua doesn't know what to do.
