One day, Lu Yuan braved the snow to go to Ci'an Palace to greet the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother specially sent her own sedan chair to send her back to the palace. There is a gilt silver flying flower stove in the sedan car, which is very warm. The boots of the inner supervisor carrying the sedan chair stepped on the snow with a slight "creaking" sound.

When the sedan chair traveled to the Yilan Palace, through the sedan curtain, Lu Yuan suddenly smelled a burst of crisp plum fragrance, lingering, she opened the curtain, and said to Chunhua who was walking beside her: "It's so fragrant, are the plum blossoms in Qiongyuan blooming?" ”

Chunhua said with a smile: "The master's nose is really spiritual, but I haven't arrived here in Qiongyuan, it's the jade and sandalwood plum blossoms in front of the Yilan Palace." ”

"Stop, I want to go down and have a look."

Chunhua instructed the sedan chair drivers to stop the sedan chair and said: "The master's interest is coming, and he can't walk when he sees the plum blossoms." ”

This is a plum blossom planted in the open space next to the Yilan Palace, blooming in a grand and wanton manner, like a cloud steaming in the clouds, red as if it is about to burn. There is still a little snow on the petals, crystal clear, reflecting the topaz-like stamens and ruby-like flowers, complementing each other and adding to the beauty and pride.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but take two steps closer and took a deep breath, the crisp plum fragrance seemed to turn people's bone marrow into a piece of ice and jade.

"I heard that Concubine Zhen likes plum blossoms the most, so the emperor asked the gardener to plant this piece of jade and sandalwood plum in this vacant land." Chunhua followed behind and said: "Concubine Zhen Niangniang used to be really favored, but since she gave birth to the second prince, the emperor has snubbed her a lot for the sake of Qin Tianjian. ”

Listening to Chunhua's words, Lu Yuan's heart was suddenly very lost, the favor and humiliation of the harem rose and fell, but it all depended on the emperor's likes and dislikes.

Lu Yuan turned around and looked at the Yilan Hall not far away, the original lively Yilan Hall was now closed, as if it was a gorgeous cage.

was in a trance, suddenly a woman's figure flashed out of the closed gate of the Yilan Palace, she looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, she lowered her head before quickly leaving.

Lu Yuan saw that the person was sneaky and very suspicious, and carefully identified the figure, but she couldn't remember which one it was for a while, she hurriedly said to Chunhua: "You secretly follow that woman, see who she is, which person in the palace she is, don't startle the snake." Chunhua nodded and left.

Lu Yuan took a sedan chair back to Jingxi Palace and waited quietly, and after a while, he saw Chunhua's light figure walking into the hall.

Chunhua said in a low voice: "Master, the slave maid can see clearly, that woman is the nurse Jin Niang in the queen's palace." ”

"Jin Niang?" A simple and loyal face appeared in Lu Yuan's mind: "What is she doing in Yilan Palace?" ”

Chunhua scratched her head and said, "This... The slave and the maid did not know. ”

Lu Yuan lowered her head and thought hard, and Bi Luo reminded on the side: "Recently, the eldest prince Zhaoyang has often been unwell, will it have something to do with this Jin Niang?" ”

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Your guess is right, there must be something strange about this matter." The unfavorable thing about the stars last time has made Concubine Zhen see that the mastermind behind the scenes is the queen, and she is afraid that she has made up her mind to take revenge on the queen. ”

Chunhua pursed her lips and said nonchalantly: "Let the two of them fight, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and see who can fight whom." ”

Lu Yuan said softly: "Although I am not with the two of her, how can I watch them kill each other, and the ending is destined to lose both, besides, the child is innocent." ”

Biluo said: "The master is kind-hearted, but we really can't interfere in this matter, and if we don't get it right, we will offend both sides." ”

Lu Yuan sighed deeply and said slowly: "I have to think about it in the long run." He also instructed Bi Luo to say: "You often pay attention to the movements of Kunyi Palace, especially Prince Zhaoyang, I am afraid that this child will suffer an unwarranted disaster." Biluo nodded in agreement.

After a few days, Zhao Yang really had an accident, vomiting and diarrhea, and the little man lost weight in just a few days, and he was sad all day long.

The queen was dizzy, and called the imperial doctors of the entire Tai Hospital to Kunyi Palace, and checked Zhaoyang's daily food and clothing, but could not find the reason.

The emperor was furious in Kunyi Palace and punished several nurses, and even the imperial doctor was scolded.

Seeing Long Yan's anger, Imperial Physician Wang was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Weichen...... Weichen really doesn't know. It stands to reason that the baby vomits and diarrhea, but it is related to what he eats, but the prince is still young, and he is only fed by the nurse every day, and the things he eats are limited, and Weichen has already checked it, and there is no problem. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

The queen hugged Zhao Yang, who was crying incessantly, and wept incessantly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yang has to endure such pain at a young age, and the concubine's heart is like a knife, if he has any three longs and two shorts, the concubine will not live." ”

Yu Lin said irritably: "Zhaoyang is my son, I am also distressed, I don't know how to heal, what can I do." ”

An Lingyue said softly: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the concubine heard from my aunt that the children of the people are sick, and if Lang Zhong can't cure them, they will invite the goddess to come to exorcise evil spirits, and it is also very effective." ”

"Really?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Your Majesty, the concubines think it's okay to try, maybe it's useful." Queen's Road.

Yu Lin nodded and said, "Then try it, I immediately ordered Li Zhong to find a goddess among the people to exorcise evil spirits for Zhaoyang." ”

Li Zhong was able to do his job, and soon found a famous goddess from the people, and entered the palace early the next morning.

According to the instructions of the goddess, an incense burner and incense case were set up in the main hall of Kunyi Palace, and the holy image was offered, and the five-colored flag was planted, and the peach wood whip, magic water and runes were placed on the table. I also invited the little hostesses of each palace and room to come to watch the battle, because the goddess said that the popularity of the people is strong, so that the little ghost has nowhere to hide.

The goddess asked for clear water to clean her hands, put on the magic robe of the nine palace gossip, took out a copper bell from her bosom and shook it, and said something in her mouth.

Concubine Shun couldn't help but purse her lips and laughed softly and said to Lu Yuan: "I don't know if this mother-in-law is offering Buddha or Taoist, it's not yin or yang, the gods are chattering, it's really ridiculous." ”

Lu Yuan covered her mouth with her hand and whispered: "Sister, there is a way to go to the doctor for a sudden illness, let's just watch the excitement." ”

The goddess danced for about a quarter of an hour with the brass bell, picked up the rune, lit it on the incense candle and burned it to ashes, and then took the magic water and sprinkled it on the ashes, and her mouth was chattering and muttering.

In the end, she picked up the peachwood whip and said to the queen: "Please take out the little highness and let the old slave use this evil spirit whip to drive away the little ghost attached to the body." ”

The queen hurriedly ordered Jin Niang to hug Zhao Yang out, and the goddess raised a peach whip to sweep around Zhao Yang's body, Zhao Yang was young and was so frightened by this formation that she cried.

After a set of rituals was completed, the goddess confidently said to the emperor and queen: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the old slave has driven away the little ghost attached to His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness's illness will be cured tomorrow." ”

The queen was overjoyed, but Yu Lin was suspicious, so Li Zhong took the silver and sent her out of the palace.

Lu Yuan and the other concubines got up together and bowed to the emperor and queen: "The concubines and others wish the little prince a speedy health." ”

The queen was pleased: "I have you today, the palace has set up a few tables of thin wine in the side hall, please go with the palace to use some." ”

After thanking everyone, they got up together and came to the side hall of Kunyi Palace. As soon as she sat down, Bi Luo quietly walked behind Lu Yuan, leaned over her ear and said, "Master, the slave and maid have done what you ordered." ”

Concubine Shun put down the wine glass and said strangely: "What are the two of your master and servant talking mysteriously?" ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Sister, don't ask first, you will naturally understand in the future." ”

Concubine Shun smiled and stopped asking.

Just halfway through eating, I suddenly saw Huixin hurriedly running into the palace and said to the queen: "Niangniang, it's not good, the nurse Jin Niang doesn't know what she ate, she has a bad stomach, and now she has more than enough abdominal pain." ”

The queen was surprised: "It's not okay just now, go to the Tai Hospital and ask the Tai Doctor to come and take a look at her." ”

Lu Yuan stood up at the right time and said, "Niangniang, the nurse wants to feed the little prince, and there can't be half a mistake, Imperial Doctor Jiang Rong is good at diagnosing and treating all kinds of emergencies, so please ask him to come and take a look." ”

The queen said repeatedly: "What Concubine Ying said is that the emperor often praises Imperial Physician Jiang's excellent medical skills, so go and invite Imperial Physician Jiang to come." ”
