272 Behind the scenes
Li Xun naturally heard these rumors, in addition to expressing his trust in He Louyuan in front of Ling Xiaorou, he also asked He Louyuan to do what he wanted, and not to gossip.
But I don't know what he thinks about the rumors in the palace, so he ignores them completely.
It wasn't until the beginning of April that things took a turn for the better, allowing this hidden black hand to gradually surface.
Lu Cairen, who was already more than four months pregnant, accidentally fell in the Imperial Garden, and although the child in his belly was saved, Lu Cairen's leg was broken.
Afterwards, Lu Cairen recalled that she was walking out of the pavilion with the help of the palace maid, and when she went down the steps, there was a cluster of roses blooming just right next to the steps, so she glanced at it more, and just saw a hand stretched out from the rose bush and pushed her down the steps.
As a result, the palace began to look for the palace people who were scratched on their hands.
Both the palace maid and the eunuch were all in the scope of being searched, and for a while, those who had injuries on their hands were all detained in one place and sent to Lu Cairen for identification.
It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and Lu Cairen only remembered that it was a white and tender little hand, so those palace people who were injured by doing heavy work were eliminated, and only three palace maids with small hands and white hands were left.
After torture, one of the three palace maids was from the Queen Mother's Palace, one was from Si Zhenfang, and the other was from the Xianfei Palace.
The Queen Mother testified in the Empress Dowager's palace that the injury on her hand was scratched by the tip of the phoenix hairpin when she combed the Empress Dowager's hair.
The palace maid of Si Zhenfang also testified that she was scratched by the gold wire when she pinched the gold wire.
And the palace maid in Concubine Xian's palace also had Concubine Xian as a witness, she was scratched by a wooden thorn when she was burning the fire, and she happened to be touched by Concubine Xian at that time, and she was rewarded with a little medicine.
There is no problem in the Queen Mother's palace and Si Zhen's room, then only the palace maids in the palace of Concubine Xian have problems. But Concubine Xian has no heirs, and now she is in charge of the six palaces under the order of the emperor, and she can be regarded as having face in front of the emperor, and the emperor will die in the future, and her status is also there, so there is no reason to murder the emperor's heirs.
But there are people in the palace who testify about these three suspicious people, so who is the one who plotted to kill the emperor's heir? If the murderer is among the three, someone is lying.
There is no need for the queen mother to defend the murderer of her imperial grandson, and the injury suffered when making jewelry in the Si Zhenfang is in the Si Zhenfang, everyone has seen it, so only the palace maid in the palace of the virtuous concubine is suspected.
After all, it is not credible to rely on the words of the virtuous concubine alone, and how can the palace maid who chops wood have such thin white little hands? Also, it's okay that Concubine Xian will go to see the palace maid chopping wood?
When the palace maid in Concubine Xian's palace was severely punished, she was the murderer who pushed down Lu Cairen, and several things before were also her hands and feet, Concubine Xian shook a few times, and almost fainted, she couldn't believe that this thing was really done by someone in her palace, although the possibility of torture into a trick was not ruled out, but it was drawn in black and white, and Concubine Xian had nowhere to shout if she wanted to shout injustice.
The slave is bold and does such a rebellious thing, there must be a master behind it, so who is her master?
Since she is in the palace of Concubine Xian, can there be anyone else behind this real mastermind?
In the end, the queen mother ignored Concubine Xian's shouting and sent her into the cold palace, but there are only three concubines in the palace now, Concubine Xian was beaten into the cold palace, Concubine Yu was pregnant and couldn't work, and there was only one concubine who was rejected by the emperor.
Although the Queen Mother does not want to see Concubine Liang, at this time, she can't pass Concubine Liang and let someone else take charge of the Six Palaces, not to mention that there is a Chen Shuyi below, the Queen Mother is even more unkind to Chen Shuyi than Concubine Liang, after all, nothing is more important than the emperor's heirs in the Queen Mother's heart, Chen Shuyi almost lost the emperor's heirs at the beginning, and every time she thinks of the Queen Mother, she can't wait to send her to the cold palace to accompany the former queen.
The child was raised by her, and the Queen Mother was very worried.
Concubine Liang got the queen mother's decree, sat in the palace and couldn't help laughing, pinching the edict into a ball, finally, she also has a time to come out, although she is only in charge of the six palaces, there are a lot of things that can be done.
For example, let those palace concubines who despise her taste the bitterness, such as making trouble for Chen Shuyi and Ling Xiaorou, who she hates the most, in short, with authority, she is no longer a good concubine who is a joke everywhere she goes, and she can finally raise her eyebrows.
Chen Shuyi sat in her Fucui Palace, looking at the eldest son of the emperor who was hot and cold on the bed, and tears fell down: Son, don't blame the mother for being ruthless, if the mother concubine does not make this decision, it will be the mother who is sent to the cold palace at this time, as long as you get through, the mother will definitely clear the obstacles for you and push you to the throne.
On the hand of the outstretched hand, two vertical and horizontal scratches were intertwined, although it was no longer bleeding, but after all, it left two ugly marks on the delicate hand.
Chen Shuyi rubbed the yellow futon on the eldest son of the emperor's body fiercely, blaming the emperor for not breathing early, blaming Ling Xiaorou for coming out to stir up her good deeds, if the emperor dies, the eldest son of the emperor will naturally become the new emperor, even if there is King Ningyuan in charge of the country, she, the queen mother, will also sit firmly.
But now, because of Ling Xiaorou's bowl of soup, the emperor's body is getting better day by day, and Concubine Yu's belly is getting bigger day by day.
Thinking of the emperor's great favor to her in the past, how could Chen Shuyi see that the throne she was about to get had become someone else's?
Calculated again and again, shot again and again, but only failed in Concubine Yu, she was unwilling, one day, she wanted the child in Concubine Yu's belly, and like other concubines, she could not become a thorn in her heart.
On the first day after Concubine Liang took power, she brought people to see the eldest son of the emperor, and when she saw that little face with a lot of energy, although she strictly ordered the imperial doctors to treat the eldest son of the emperor as soon as possible, Concubine Liang thought hatefully: It was because of you that the palace was reprimanded by the emperor and the emperor, why didn't you burn you?
Look at Chen Shuyi who is crying next to her, what about a beautiful little face? Isn't it also rejected by the emperor like this palace?
The difference is that you have the body of a prince, and I am now in charge of the six palaces, speaking of which, you still have to live with my snort.
After seeing Chen Shuyi, Concubine Liang took people to the imperial dining room again, and the new official took office with three fires, she was in charge of the six palaces, and this fire had to be burned.
As a result, he was stopped outside the imperial dining room, and the general pipe of the imperial dining room: "Concubine Liangniang, the imperial dining room is heavy, idlers are not allowed to enter, please go back!" ”
Concubine Liang rubbed her small handkerchief, "Idlers are not allowed to enter?" Is Hongu an idler? The main palace is now in charge of the six palaces, can't you even enter a small imperial dining room? Is it wrong for this palace to care about the emperor? ”
The head of the imperial dining room sighed in his heart, why don't all the ladies in this palace have a clear mind? Others are now eager to stay away from the imperial dining room in order to avoid suspicion, why did this good concubine come to her?
There was a Chen Shuyi before, and this time there is a good concubine, and it is really difficult for him to be the chief eunuch.
If there is a problem in the diet, no one can afford this responsibility, so they can only continue to stop in front of the concubine, "The emperor has a decree, no matter who comes without a holy decree, he is not allowed to put it in the imperial dining room, and please don't embarrass the slave." ”
Concubine Liang nodded to the head of the imperial dining room, "Good, very good!" ”
Flicked the handkerchief and took people away, Ling Xiaorou listened really in the door, she couldn't imagine that a virtuous concubine went down, and a good concubine came up, and the days in this palace are getting more and more difficult, I still hope that Li Xun will get better sooner, and she will leave the palace early.
Anyone can see that Concubine Liang is obviously coming to the imperial dining room to find trouble, but in fact, she is the one who is looking for trouble, right? Alas, if you are beautiful and have high cooking skills, you will be hated.
Concubine Liang left the imperial dining room, and on the way back, she clutched a paper bag in her hand, which contained a colorless and tasteless poison once melted into the food, don't look at such a little thing. Putting it in food and eating it and keeping it can boil people to death little by little, and they will die hopelessly.
It's just that she couldn't figure it out, that person's confident poison would be unintentionally solved by Ling Xiaorou, although the emperor was still bedridden, it was only a matter of time before he recovered.
For now, what she can do is to continue to poison the emperor, as long as she eats another pack of such poison, the emperor will die no more, and then her father and brother will help that person become the emperor again, and a queen will not be able to escape.
Rather than waiting for her face to grow old in the harem like this, she would rather have a Bo.
Concubine Liang thought about her heart, and the corners of her mouth hung a ruthless color, she couldn't enter the imperial dining room, so she went directly to the emperor's bedroom, since she had the right to manage the six palaces, no one could say anything wrong when she looked at the emperor's sick body in the past.
Thinking of this, Concubine Liang's hand was held tighter, as long as ...... Just find an opportunity to put this packet of medicinal powder into the water that the emperor drinks......
"Minister, I've seen Concubine Liangniang!"
Concubine Liang was thinking about it, and she was about to arrive at the Lama Temple, and a person walked out of the corner, a tall and heroic man stood in front of him, followed by a group of people, including eunuchs, guards, and ...... Physician.
Concubine Liang was in a trance, and then remembered what she was still holding in her hand, and suddenly became nervous, "Ning...... Ning Yuan...... Wang ......"
A sneer hung on the corner of He Louyuan's lips, and his eyes were fixed on Concubine Liang's clenched hand, "I don't know what Niangniang is holding in her hand, can you take a look at it?" ”
Concubine Liang's nervous heart was about to jump out of her throat, "No...... It's nothing, it can't get into the eyes of the prince. ”
He Louyuan, who has been staring at Concubine Liang for many days, how could he be easily mixed up by her? glanced at both sides, walked out of the two eunuchs, came to Concubine Liang, and said to Concubine Liang: "Concubine Liang, offended!" ”
"How dare you ......"
Before Concubine Liang finished speaking, the two eunuchs stepped forward and grabbed her clenched hand, broke their fingers, and revealed the small paper bag inside.
"Lord Wang, there's a paper bag!"
handed the paper bag to He Louyuan, and He Louyuan motioned to the imperial doctor next to him to take it. Several imperial doctors stepped forward, took the paper bag, held it in their hands and smelled and looked at it, and after a long time, they knelt in front of He Louyuan, "Back to the prince, this poison is the poison in the emperor." ”
