Fanji's expectation was not bad at all, but it was indeed too late. At this time, in the back hall of the main hall, Ji Jiang, who had a smug face, was standing under the king's case, looking at the old doctor kneeling on the ground inspecting the medicinal herb package. Ji Xie held his forehead and glanced forward from time to time, only to feel a thin layer of sweat on his palm.

The doctor selected the same sample of Chinese medicinal herbs, first put it on the side of the nose to smell, and then put it in the mouth to taste it, and the examination was very careful and serious. It took a long time to stick incense, and finally put down the medicine bag and sleeve tube, and it seemed that the inspection was completed. Ji Xie's heart rose to his throat and asked eagerly, "How?" ”

"It's indeed a nodging soup. The main ingredient is turnips, and a dose can be taken after intercourse to ensure that you will not get pregnant. Many noble ladies and ladies in Beijing will prepare this kind of decoction for the concubines before their sons are born, and the servants have carefully examined them, and there will be no mistakes. ”

Ji Xie waved his hand, and the healer stepped back. It was as if someone had taken the last trace of strength out of his body, and his whole body was weakly paralyzed, if it wasn't for the case to support him, he was afraid that he would have to lie down. Ji Jiang's eyes were quick, so he hurriedly helped him up, and whispered in his ear:

"My lord, I thought it was strange before. The queen is not yet thirty years old, and the king also goes to the middle palace twice a month, not to mention that this time she only took her with her, how could she have been infertile for a long time? The concubines also asked the doctors, and they all said that the queen's mother was normal, her body was healthy, and she didn't hurt her body in the last childbirth, so it turned out that she didn't want to have an heir for the king's birth! As a queen, it is really chilling to be so cruel to the king! ”

"Are you sure that the queen used these herbs?" Ji Xie looked her straight in the eye and asked word by word.

Ji Jiang held back the trembling in his heart and replied sharply: "The concubine understands that the king thinks that I have never been on good terms with the queen, and will not believe my words. How about seeing someone again? Standing up," the brocade curtain outside the door answered, and Ji Jiang ordered: "Let her in!" ”

The brocade curtain was lifted, and a palace maid slowly walked into the room, kneeling in the middle. Ji Xie vaguely felt that this woman was familiar, and after a closer look, it turned out to be the queen's personal maid Ji Sang, so he pointed to the medicine bag on the ground and asked, "These are you taking out from the middle palace?" ”

Ji Sang's eyes rolled, and he kowtowed: "Yes, the queen took some to the Lishan Palace, because it is not easy to send someone out of the palace to find a folk medicine shop for these medicines." So all that was left was brought by the slaves and maids. ”

"Who did she send to grab the medicine?" Ji Xie gritted his teeth and asked, a coldness between his teeth.

"The middle palace ordered the husband of the deer and the sheep to be outside the palace, and this matter was arranged by the two of them, and the slaves and maids were not allowed to leave the palace, and the details were not clear. The slave maid only vaguely heard that when she was in the hidden mansion, the mother began to take this medicine! ”

"You already knew it, why didn't you tell it earlier? Why are you willing to expose this matter to the second concubine Niangniang now? Ji Xie asked.

Thick beads of sweat oozed from Ji Sang's forehead, and she kowtowed one after another: "The king forgives his sins!" It's really because the queen wants to expel the slaves and maids from the palace, and they have been included in the list. She did this, in fact, to coax out all the people who knew the inside story, and the slave was unwilling, so she reported it and hoped that the king would forgive her sins! ”

Ji Xie glanced at her and said coldly: "What good is it to keep such a betrayal?" Come! The chamberlain Jia lifted the curtain and entered: "What does the king command?" ”

Ji Xie pointed at Ji Sang: "Pull this out and kill him with a cane!" ”

Ji Sang was dragged out by two attendants, and a terrible cry came out of his mouth: "Second concubine Niangniang, save me!" You promised me, wait until you ------knock me down," only a muffled sound, and she couldn't make any more sounds.

Ji Jiang's face was pale, and his hands were trembling constantly. Ji Xie glanced at her meaningfully, turned his head and said to the inner attendant Jia: "Pass the lonely edict and order the three hundred armor soldiers of the palace guard battalion to surround the middle palace from now on, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." Go for yourself, take back the queen's seal, and go! ”

"No!"

Ji Jiang's legs began to weaken, and he didn't stand still and sat on the ground, Ji Xie looked down at her condescendingly, his eyes pierced out two sharp cold lights, and said coldly: "You have worked hard these days, and take care of yourself!" Otherwise, you should understand why Lone killed this informant palace maid with a cane. , huh! ”

Ji Jiang stood up easily, and he didn't know how to get out of the hall. This seems to be the result she expected, isn't the queen about to fall? But why does it seem that my cousin hates himself instead? Why is that?

"Niangniang, it's all because the slave and maid are not secretive, and they are found out by the cheap maid. Now that the slut doesn't know where to go, he must be going to Qiuliao Palace or Yiji. What should we do? The sheep was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Fanji only felt that there was a mess in her head, and she forced herself to calm down, and she had to sort out a clue first. The matter has happened, and she can't deny it and doesn't want to deny it, so she should think about how to let the blame for this matter be borne entirely on herself, and she can't be tied to the prince. If the king seals the palace, who can bring news to the prince and tell him not to act rashly?

She suddenly looked up and said, "Quick, go and call Becky!" ”

Outside the middle palace, there are many swords and armors, three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. Inside the courtyard wall, countless palace maids scattered and fled, shouting: "The guards are going to start taking people, run!" ”

In the inner hall, the sheep and the sheep saw that the outside was really chaotic, and several times she wanted to go out and shout a few times, but she was restrained by Fanji, she said: "Let them go, people are seeking advantages and avoiding harm." When enough of the fuss is enough, they will understand that once they enter the deep palace, life and death are no longer up to them, and it is useless to make any more fuss. ”

"Niangniang------" The badger sheep choked up: "The king is so ruthless, first sealing the palace, and then taking away your queen's seal." Is he going to ------" her voice began to tremble.

"Is it after the abolition?" Fanji said for her: "Maybe." But I'm sure he'll be here, at least until then, and hear with my own ears the answers he wants to know. ”

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, she grabbed Fanji's hand and pleaded: "Niangniang, you must not be stubborn any longer." If the king comes, you must be soft, admit your mistake, and maybe this matter will be over. After so many years, the slave and maid looked at it coldly, and the king still has affection for you. It's just that I'm angry for a while, so I'm so angry, and it's okay after a long time. Mother, you can't be out of your temper anymore. ”

"Nurse, don't worry, I know it in my heart." Fanji gently patted the back of her hand and comforted.

The sheep was relieved, remembered something again, and said: "Niangniang, Princess Boji has left the middle palace, Niangniang can rest assured." She is a child who knows in her heart, and she will not go to Yiji's side. As he spoke, a wave of resentment surged in his heart, and he bit his lip and said: "I betrayed the prince first, and then betrayed the mother, I should have eradicated that slut a long time ago, and there would be no disaster today." ”

"She's not going to end well." Fanji categorically came to a conclusion.
