Chapter 43: Poisoning
Outside the house, Han Mingde sat under the eaves of the porch with a whisk in his hand, waiting for the emperor to send him at any time, and Su Quan was very attentive to bring him herbal tea.
Han Mingde sneered, knowing that Su Quan wanted to slap him, thinking that the future of Zhao Cairen in the house must be limitless, so he was also happy to have a good fate, so he took the herbal tea, and said with a little serious beating: "Is this how you serve Zhao Cairen on weekdays?" I even slept a lot while I was on duty! Fortunately, you have a big life and did not delay the master's affairs, otherwise a few lives would not be enough for you! ”
Su Quanben just wanted to show his face in front of the chief manager Han Gonggong, but he never thought that he would personally get Han Gonggong's advice.
Lingyun Pavilion didn't have many visitors on weekdays, and after he was busy with the business at hand, he waited outside for orders, and at that time he was only pretending to sleep, and he didn't really fall asleep, so he could wake up immediately when the emperor and others entered Lingyun Pavilion.
However, the matter had already passed, and it was useless to say more, so Su Quan bowed and said respectfully to Han Mingde: "The slave only knows!" Thank you Mr. Han for the point! ”
After saying that, Su Quan didn't say more than half a word, and only stood beside Han Mingde, making an appearance of obeying orders at any time.
Han Mingde glanced at him with interest, and silently wrote down this little-known little eunuch in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and it was time to pass the meal.
Han Mingde was about to get up and ask the emperor for instructions, but Su Quan walked over one step ahead of him.
Han Mingde's face was instantly full of displeasure, thinking that Su Quan wanted to take the opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor, but he didn't think that Su Quan actually stopped in front of the door, and then slowly lifted the bead curtain, and said to Su Quan respectfully: "Manager Han, please!" ”
He immediately put away the displeasure on his face, bowed his head at Su Quan, and walked in.
Lunch is naturally left in Lingyun Pavilion to eat, where did Jin Miao and Jin He serve the emperor to eat, fortunately, there is Han Gonggong next to him to mention it, and a lunch is quite comfortable.
Shen Bochen used the soup in the bowl and said as if unintentionally, "I didn't know that Qing'er's residence was so remote, would it be good for me to change the palace for Qing'er?" ”
Zhao Nuoqing paused, slowly put down the double chopsticks in his hand, looked at him with a sincere expression and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines are used to living here, and they don't feel remote, but they feel more quiet and elegant. ”
Seeing that she really didn't want to move away, and thinking that the courtyard here was exceptionally warm and chic, she felt that this place was really good, quiet and quiet, and it was a good place, so she gave up and followed her wishes.
At this time, the little eunuch who was waiting in the Fengwu Palace asked to see him outside the house, and the emperor summoned him in.
The little eunuch knelt down towards the emperor, and said with a slightly nervous expression: "Back to the emperor, Fu Meisheng is born, and he is a little prince!" ”
Zhao Nuoqing was shocked, and hurriedly looked sideways at the emperor, and saw that the emperor's originally smiling face had already been covered with frost, and the hand holding the double chopsticks was tightened and tightened.
"Has the cause of death been found?"
The little eunuch lowered his head and replied in a trembling respectful voice: "Check...... When I found out, the doctor said it was a Chinese ...... Poisoning!! ”
With a "snap", the double chopsticks in the emperor's hand were split into two, Zhao Nuoqing was frightened, and hurriedly covered his lips with a handkerchief to prevent himself from exclaiming.
Unexpectedly, Fu Meiren's fetus was poisoned to death? Who is so cruel to an unborn fetus?
The little eunuch nervously lay on the ground and didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that the emperor would be angry with him.
Jin He and Jin Miao also looked pale and didn't dare to speak.
Shen Bochen frowned, his face was very solemn, his hands were clenched, and the skin of the broken double chopsticks had been cut by the tiger's mouth, oozing blood.
"Can you inform Fu Meiren and the Queen Mother about this?"
The little eunuch hurriedly said: "The queen mother ordered that the minions are not allowed to reveal half a word until the poisoner is found!" ”
The emperor nodded, "I know, go back and tell Fu Meiren, let her rest in peace, don't be sad, just take care of your body!" ”
Shen Bochen didn't know when he regained his calm face, and said in a flat tone, as if it was not his own child who was poisoned.
The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses, hurriedly kowtowed and said "yes", and then went to pass the word to Fu Meiren non-stop.
Zhao Nuoqing on the side knew that this was not the time for her to emerge, but when she looked at the emperor who tried his best to hide the grief in her heart, she was unconsciously a little sad in her heart.
As an emperor, you must not let people easily see the joy and sorrow, even if you are heartbroken, you can only endure it!
But the emperor's heart is also fleshy, and the double chopsticks that were broken with his bare hands are the best proof.
After the little eunuch left, Zhao Nuoqing hurriedly called Jin He to fetch the wound medicine, and carefully bandaged the wound for the emperor.
The emperor said: "Just take medicine, you don't have to bandage!" ”
Knowing that the emperor was afraid that it would be too conspicuous after being bandaged, looking at the not very serious wound, Zhao Nuoqing nodded and continued to give medicine to the emperor.
After this news, the emperor had no intention of leaving, got up and left after taking the medicine, and walked to the door, the emperor stopped, turned to look at Zhao Nuoqing and said: "Today's matter ......"
Zhao Nuoqing hurriedly said: "Before the murderer is found, the concubine will never spread the matter, the emperor can rest assured!" ”
Shen Bochen was slightly stunned, in fact, he wanted to say, don't be afraid, he doesn't want Zhao Nuoqing to think that the harem is a dangerous place, so he worries every night...... That's it!
"I'm gone!"
"Congratulations to the emperor!"
After the emperor left, Zhao Nuoqing turned around and instructed Jin Miao and Jin He: "What you heard today, forget it immediately, and don't reveal half a sentence!" ”
The two looked at each other, knew the importance of this matter, and hurriedly said "yes" in unison.
Inside the Eishokaku.
Fu Meiren didn't even see the child's face, and the child was taken away!
It was the prince she was six months pregnant and gave birth to after a lot of hardship, but she couldn't see him.
She was full of grief in her heart, and took Wen Kite's hand and cried: "Your Majesty! I want to see the emperor! ”
Wen Yuan wiped away her tears and felt sorry for her master and said: "The slave heard the little eunuch say that the emperor is here...... At Zhao Cairen's! ”
"What?" Fu Meiren's eyes became fierce, and she said angrily: "I am suffering from skin pain here, but the emperor went to Zhao Cairen, right?" ”
Wen Yuan hurriedly said: "Niangniang, maybe the emperor didn't take the initiative to go, or maybe Zhao Cairen took the initiative to seduce?" Our Yongxiang Pavilion is so far away from her Lingyun Pavilion, how could the emperor take the initiative to find Zhao Cairen? ”
Listening to Wen Yuan's words, Fu Meiren felt very reasonable, recalling that if it wasn't for Zhao Nuoqing seducing the emperor last night, how could she pretend to have abdominal pain? If she hadn't said such things, how could the child in her womb have died?
It is said that disaster comes from the mouth, but she never believed these ridiculous words, but now, ...... It's all Zhao Cairen's fault!
This resentment is unreasonable, but Fu Meiren, who suddenly lost her child, was in a disordered mood at the moment, and remorse and jealousy made her dizzy, so she blamed Zhao Cairen for everything, as if in this way, the pain on her body could be alleviated.
In the back alley of Yongxiang Pavilion, Wen Kite, who was dressed in a light green palace maid's costume, looked around sneakily all the way, and came to a hidden palace alley, and was suddenly dragged in.
I heard Wen Yuan say to another person wearing a light green palace maid's costume: "The slave maid has already told Fu Meiren those words according to Niangniang's instructions, and Fu Meiren must be hating Zhao Cairen to death now!" ”
The other palace maid nodded slowly, put a big purse on Wen Kite's hand, and said, "Very well done, this is the mother's reward for you!" ”
Wen Yuan happily took it, "Thank you, sister!" ”
