Qing Dai had already helped Lu Yuning deal with the injury on her hand, and seeing that Lu Yuning's face was not very good, she said, "Master, the slave maid asked the dining room to help you cook a bowl of soothing soup, right?" ”

Lu Yuning shook her head, "Don't bother the dining room anymore after this order." ”

Hearing this, Qing Dai sighed, "If only we had our own small kitchen." ”

Lu Yuning said with a smile: "Don't think about the small kitchen." ”

Not everyone in the palace can have a small kitchen, there was also Zhaoyang Palace before, but now Zhaoyang Palace has been closed, and only Shou'an Palace and Fengyi Palace have small kitchens.

Lu Yuning and Qing Dai said a few words, and seeing that the hour was not early, Qing Dai waited for Lu Yuning to fall asleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Yuning lay on the bed, Qingzhi hurriedly ran in, "Master, the emperor is here." ”

Lu Yuning sat up from the bed with some surprise when she heard this, and while asking Qing Dai to wait for her to put on her clothes again, she thought about what the emperor was doing here with her at this time?

Such a thing happened today, the emperor must not be in the mood to find a concubine to sleep, and she came back in the follow-up, and the emperor did not have the slightest intention of coming to her Linglong Pavilion, why did he suddenly come over again at this time?

Lu Yuning was suspicious in her heart, but her face was not obvious, and she didn't comb her hair back after getting dressed, so she went out with her hair scattered.

Luo Chengjing was already sitting in the outer hall at this time, with a cup of hot tea that had just been served in his hand.

Seeing Lu Yuning coming out, Luo Chengjing said, "Did I disturb the concubine's rest?" ”

Lu Yuning shook her head, "The concubine can't sleep even if she lies down at this time." ”

Luo Chengjing nodded and stopped talking.

Lu Yuning didn't speak again, the room in the room was silent, and the incense burner in the corner was burning with calming incense, and the fragrance was light and peaceful.

I don't know how long it took for Luo Chengjing to speak again, "Can Concubine Ai play a song for me?" ”

"The honor of a concubine." Lu Yuning's words fell, turned around and told Qingzhi to take out his Jiugaoqin, and then asked Qingdai to go to the dining room and let people prepare a few snacks and a pot of good wine.

Lu Yuning knew that Luo Chengjing definitely didn't want to enjoy the music when he listened to the piano at this time, but just wanted to relieve his mood, so he played a tune that was tactful and melodious, calm and soothing.

After the song, Qingdai happened to come in with a food box.

The people in the dining room are well-informed, and they naturally knew the news that the emperor went to Linglong Pavilion, and when they saw Qingdai coming to ask for side dishes, they naturally knew that it was because of the emperor's going, so they made their best dishes with their hands and feet.

Lu Yuning got up, took the food box from Qing Dai's hand, walked to the table on the side, and personally laid out a few dishes in the food box, and then took the wine glass brought by Qing Zhi, put it on the table, turned to Luo Chengjing and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine asked people to prepare a few side dishes, and the emperor accompanied the concubine to use a little, right?" ”

Luo Chengjing glanced at the wine jug on the table, nodded, and said, "Concubine Ai is bothered." ”

Luo Chengjing didn't have much appetite, and after sitting down, he only ate a few bites of food and kept drinking, and Lu Yuning also accompanied him.

After drinking a pot of wine, Luo Chengjing also felt a little drunk, he stared at the empty wine glass in his hand for a while, and then got up and said to Lu Yuning, who was crimson and drunk: "Thank you Concubine Ai for your hospitality, Concubine Ai should rest early, I am gone." ”

"The concubine sent to the emperor."

Lu Yuning got up and was about to send Luo Chengjing off, but she couldn't control her body after drinking too much, and when she stood up, she swayed from side to side and almost fell.

Luo Chengjing looked at Lu Yuning's appearance, waved his hand, and didn't say anything to the drunk Lu Yuning, but turned his head and explained to Qingzhi and Qingdai, "Help your master go down to rest." ”

After speaking, Luo Chengjing strode out of Linglong Pavilion with Yuan En and the others.

Lian Yongwang was sent by Luo Chengjing to investigate the murder of the prince, and he did not follow Luo Chengjing tonight.

Lu Yuning was helped to the bedroom by Qingzhi and Qingdai, and after waiting for Lu Yuning to lie down, Qingzhi asked Qingdai to guard Lu Yuning, and she went to pour tea for Lu Yuning.

When Qingzhi poured the tea and brought it over, he saw Lu Yuning sitting on the bed, his eyes were clear, and he was still drunk just now.

Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then handed the tea in his hand to Lu Yuning, "Master, let's drink saliva." ”

Lu Yuning took the teacup and drank a few sips, then handed the teacup to Qingzhi and said, "Okay, it's not early, you both go down and rest, you don't have to wait here." ”

Qingzhi and Qingdai glanced at each other and went out.

After Lu Yuning sat alone on the bed for a long time, she slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Lu Yuning woke up at the same time as before.

After freshening up, Lu Yuning was slowly eating breakfast, while waiting for Jianzhang Palace or Fengyi Palace to send someone to inform him that there was no need to ask for peace today.

Don't talk about the murder of the prince yesterday, just say that the queen mother vomited blood and fainted yesterday, and Lu Yuning also felt that there was definitely no need to ask for peace today.

Sure enough, before Lu Yuning's breakfast was finished, someone from Jianzhang Palace said: The queen is unwell, so you don't have to go to ask for peace these days.

Since he was sure that he didn't have to go to say goodbye, Lu Yuning took the ancient book that he hadn't finished reading yesterday after breakfast.

About halfway through, Zhou Cairen came to Linglong Pavilion with his personal palace maid.

After giving Lu Yuning a salute, Zhou Cairen smiled and said: "The palace is about to turn the sky upside down, but the mother is calm." ”

Lu Yuning replied with a smile: "Why should I not be calm? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was killed, the queen mother fell ill, I'm afraid that this harem will have to change masters in the future, doesn't the mother have any other ideas?" Zhou Cairen asked.

Lu Yuning looked at Zhou Cairen, shook his head and said, "You can't talk nonsense, the queen mother is just unwell, maybe it will be fine in two days." ”

Zhou Cairen looked at Lu Yuning and said with a smile: "It has been spread all over the palace at this time, and the queen mother has been hit by a strange poison called red face and dry bones, and there are not many days to live." ”

It is said that after being poisoned by the poison of red face and dry bones, the poisoned person will not only not feel the slightest discomfort at first, but will also become ruddy, but the slowly poisoned person will become thinner and thinner, thinner and thinner, until the last time the person who is poisoned will directly become skin and bones, but will not die directly.

But at this time, the inside of the poisoned person has already been exhausted, and only a little damage and stimulation from the outside world is needed, and the person who has been poisoned will not be able to survive.

The symptoms of the queen mother are completely consistent with the symptoms of being poisoned by the red face and dry bones.

After Zhou Cairen finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yuning with a little smile and said, "It's impossible that Niangniang hasn't heard of it, right?" ”
