Chapter 480: Plan Ahead
Although everyone doesn't say it, almost everyone knows that the queen mother is probably crazy.
And before that, the queen had done a lot of things.
She had long hated Shen Ling, and during this period of confinement, she faintly heard some rumors, which was nothing more than that she became a concubine, held the phoenix seal, and finally presided over the beautiful Chengguo ceremony.
She had already drafted a letter to her close cronies in advance, wanting to make Shen Ling's show go wrong and cause chaos.
"But this is not enough." The queen shook her head again, she needed Shen Ling to pay a lot of price for competing for favor, and she also wanted her mother's identity to be undoubted, and completely suppress the emperor.
The queen thought about it, more daring, this time no longer wrote a letter, but asked someone to directly summon her cronies into the palace behind the emperor's back, and quietly discussed with her, in order to hide people's eyes, she deliberately chose a sister of her mother's clan who did things reliably, if the emperor really pursued it, at most it was just too much to miss her relatives, and she would not deliberately make trouble.
"I wonder what happened to the queen mother looking for her sister? I have received the letter I wrote last time, and I promise to complete the task."
When the queen saw her low eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, she liked it very much, but unfortunately time was tight, so she could only make a long story short with her, "Since they are all a family, then this palace is no longer polite, you know how smart Shen Ling is, this palace feels that this one thing alone is far from enough, this palace doesn't know what it's like outside, but the trouble in the main hall is that you can find an opportunity to get close to her, find her location, and drug her."
When she said the last sentence, a vicious gleam flashed in her eyes.
The trick of drug is not uncommon, even if Shen Ling knows medicine, she may not be able to break her own poison.
"What poison?" The cronies asked.
In order to deliberately show off herself, the queen also specially sold a pass, "Do you know Concubine Mu who was knocked down by Shen Ling? Everyone says that her physique is unique and difficult to find in the world, but in fact it is not, she was trained by this palace, and naturally she knows much less than this palace."
"The queen means she also took poison?" The cronies speculated.
"Exactly," the queen bowed slightly, took out a black pill from her cuff, and explained, "It seems a little obvious to give it directly to her like this, but you can take your time and develop it into a medicinal powder, mix it in wine, and it will make people not notice."
The queen's instructions were too obvious, but if he didn't, he would only be afraid that things would get out of his control, and it would not be good if it really turned out to be what he thought.
In order to let others know what they were doing, the queen deliberately explained, "This is a poison that can make Shen Ling become a concubine, but this time the effect is more ruthless, if she really has a child, the mother will not survive at all, and she can urge all the spiritual power of the mother to give birth to a baby on the same day, but she should not wait for the emperor to favor her."
Of course, as the empress, she knows that Shen Ling has been in the palace for so long, and has been favored for so long, and she has not let the emperor touch him personally, although she doesn't know what the reason is, but there will be no such days in the future.
She knew that if Shen Ling secretly had a child behind the emperor's back, she would definitely use her own way to change the child to the royal family, but it didn't matter if she changed it or not, the important thing was that she had to start first.
"Besides, what else does the Queen want me to do?" The cronies knew that she was locked up in the palace and it was inconvenient to move, so she naturally needed someone to do things for her, and that person would only be herself.
"You really understand the heart of this palace, this palace not only wants her to die, but also wants to take away the child who inherited the blood heart of the phoenix and torture her, so that she will be wheeled by ten thousand people."
The smile on the queen's face deepened, and she wanted to catch a guard casually and fornicate with Shen Ling, but after thinking about it, she felt that she was not so easy to deal with, so she planned and said, "You wait and see what happens first, see which man she has dealings with, if it really doesn't work, then find a guard to have an affair with her." She thought.
"The Queen's order, I've written it down."
She nodded earnestly and left.
It's just that I didn't expect this part, actually
It became a farewell.
By the time they said goodbye, the queen was too mad to speak.
Three days later, Shen Ling was lying bored on his stepping bed, ready to fall asleep, but the Gu worm he was carrying with him made a rustling sound.
She wondered, and subconsciously looked around, thinking that someone had broken in, but found that the surroundings were quiet, as if she was thinking too much.
During this time, the Gu worm did not stop sounding.
A flash of inspiration crossed her mind, and a bold idea welled up.
The reason why the Gu worm makes a sound is because someone poisons it, and it is the most sensitive to poisons and magic weapons, since it is not the latter, it is the former.
It turned out that he didn't realize it because the Gu worm was too sensitive, and the other party's feet were not as fast as the Gu worm.
Sure enough, there was a strange sound of footsteps outside his bed, which was very soft, but Shen Ling had a good sense of hearing and could still find it.
She pretended to be breathing evenly, and lay on the bed deliberately closing her eyes.
The man seemed to have relaxed her vigilance a little because Shen Ling seemed to have fallen asleep, and she heard the sound of her usual tea cup being opened, and after a while, Shen Ling heard her gently opening the window, presumably after poisoning and leaving.
Since she was going to poison herself, there was no need to do it with herself, so she was not afraid of her personal danger.
It's just that she has some questions about who the other party is and why she did it.
I thought about it, I have won so many favors in the deep palace, and it seems to be a very common thing for someone to be jealous of her and want to do it to her, Shen Ling tossed and turned, and didn't think it was so rare.
Until I heard the sound of the window again, this time the footsteps were different from the last time, it should be a man, listening to the movement of his walking, a little arrogant.
"Did the mother really sleep?"
As soon as he spoke, he broke Shen Ling's defense.
She immediately opened her eyes and found that the person in front of her was dressed in black, dressed like a dog, and it seemed that he had another plan to come here tonight.
She couldn't help but think of the person who had just drugged herself, and she didn't know if there was any connection between before and after.
She guessed no, or he wouldn't have to make a trip here.
"It's already so late at night, what are you doing here?" Shen Ling said this with a little anger.
"Niangniang has really learned a lot about turning her face and not recognizing people."
