"No, if the queen mother finds out, I can't save you."

Gao Qian saw that Liang Wan's expression was serious, not like he was joking, and immediately objected.

"The concubine knows, if there is really a secret room, then there must be something very important hidden, what means does the queen mother have, how can the concubine not know?"

can't find out, Liang Wan feels a pity.

However, it is necessary to find a suitable opportunity in the future.

Gao Qian looked at her: "Liang Wan, you are trying to deal with the queen mother, not for me, but for yourself, you hate her." Why, is it because she forced you to kill him? ”

Forcing her to kill Lu Xiu?

Liang Wan shook her head, it was an errand she took the initiative to beg.

"There are many reasons, the death of my father Ah Weng is inseparable from her, and she has repeatedly harmed me for finding Yuan Shaoyu's letter."

Gao Qian's drunkenness was almost half gone, and he didn't ask anymore.

The next day, everyone in Hanguang Hall finally waited for the long-awaited ban.

The eyes of the whole palace were staring at the Hanguang Palace, waiting to see how Concubine Shu competed with Lu Zhaoyi and Zhang Hongde, and how to punish those who won favor during her grounding.

But a day passed, there was no movement, ten days passed, there was no movement, until half a month passed, and there was still no movement from Concubine Shu, and she still couldn't go out, and she refused to let others come to the door without incident.

As a result, everyone speculated that Concubine Shu figured it out in this day of grounding: no one is good for a thousand days, and flowers are not red for a hundred days.

*

On the day of the snowfall, the charcoal fire burned vigorously, and the Zhaoyang Hall was warm.

Cao Ruomi knelt in front of the desk, pinching her sleeve with one hand and copying Buddhist scriptures with a pen in the other, her expression focused and religious.

Wen Jin studied the ink and lowered his head to the side.

Su Lan, as usual, finished talking about Concubine Shu's recent situation and waited for the queen's instructions, but the queen didn't say to get up, so she could only kneel and wait.

After the queen finished copying one article, she looked up at her and excused her from the courtesy.

Cao Ruomi put down her pen: "The most important thing when copying Buddhist scriptures is sincerity, it's not that the palace doesn't want to exempt you, but if you stop halfway, you are disrespectful to the Buddha." ”

After kowtowing in thanksgiving, Su Lan stood up.

Cao Ruomi signaled to Wen Jin on the side, and Wen Jin took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Su Lan.

Su Lan took it with both hands, her eyes full of gratitude.

This is her family letter, and every once in a while, the queen will ask someone to bring her a letter from home, which is a grace that other palace people do not have.

Su Lan was ready to put it in her sleeve and put it away.

Cao Ruomi put down the pen and asked with a smile: "Why don't you take a look?" You talk to you while you look at the palace. ”

Su Lan couldn't guess the queen's intentions, so she bowed down and said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Wen Jin made a straight face: "Niangniang has agreed, don't dare." ”

Su Lan timidly took the letter, observed the faces of the two of them, and saw that there was no displeasure, so she opened the letter.

Cao Ruomi said: "It's a pity that Concubine Shu only landed this time......

Su Lan pinched the letter and knelt down to confess, raising her eyes watery: "It's the slave who is useless, and she can't solve problems for her mother." ”

Cao Ruomi's eyes were smiling, and her tone was gentle: "How can I blame you?" It's not easy for you to think of a butterfly carp, but—"

She stopped to look at Wen Jin, Wen Jin understood, and called softly towards the side hall.

Su Lan raised her eyes again, and saw two palace people walking in with a pot of chrysanthemums.

It is really rare to see flowers in this season, and what is even more rare is that the flowers are as green as jade and full of dripping.

Su Lan's time in Langhua Garden is not short, during which she has seen many famous flowers and flowers, but it is really rare to see such a quality, and at first glance, I can't help but be stunned.

Cao Ruomi smiled lightly: "Find an opportunity to let Yuan Zhi know that there is a pot of 'green peony' in Langhua Garden." ”

Su Lan suppressed the curiosity in her heart and leaned over: "Yes." ”

Su Lan took the flowers and left.

"Do you think she is reliable?"

Someone stepped out of the side hall.

Cao Ruomi handed the Buddhist scriptures that he had just copied to Wen Jin and said, "This palace doesn't think she's reliable, but only thinks she's useful." ”

Zhang Baoyue bowed her head: "It's the concubine who is shallow." ”

Cao Ruomi stepped forward, took her hand affectionately, and sat down together: "This palace doesn't know that Hongde knows a lot about Concubine Shu." ”

Zhang Baoyue's eyes were cold, and she said bluntly: "The hatred of killing my father is not shared." ”

Cao Ruomi sighed and patted her hand, and comforted: "Before, when this palace saw you taking the initiative to interact with her, I thought that you-I didn't expect you to be separated from this layer, if it weren't for the Lord, this palace would have helped you dispose of her." ”

Zhang Baoyue took a step back and bowed to the ground: "My brother serves the Lord, and I can't disobey the king's heart to avenge my father, but the concubine is in the harem with the enemy, and the revenge of killing my father is not avenged for a day, and the concubine is difficult to sleep and eat for a day, but fortunately, the queen is willing to administer justice for the concubine, and the concubine has nothing to repay." ”

Cao Ruomi stretched out her hand to help her up: "They all serve the Lord together, just treat this palace as the eldest sister, don't say anything to repay or not, your days in the palace are not short, Su Ri is also a person who has no quarrel with the world, and this palace likes your gentle temperament." ”

She paused for a moment and asked, "How about just sending such a pot of flowers?" ”

Zhang Baoyue has beautiful eyebrows and a well-behaved appearance: "The concubine heard that Concubine Shu loved 'green peony' very much when she was in the Taishi Mansion, and Concubine Shu was good at making incense. You need to know that the concubine is sick in those days when she has maintained this flower, and when she uses this flower to make incense, the mother will know the effect. ”

She lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, but only a pair of eyes were unusually bright: "When the concubine was at home, I heard a sentence that seven lives and eight are not alive." ”

Cao Ruomi's heart moved, and she suppressed the strangeness: "What if she doesn't make incense?" ”

Zhang Baoyue said: "Niangniang forgot, the concubine has a very good relationship with Huang Liangyuan, and she will definitely make it with her." ”

Raising her eyebrows slightly, she saw that the queen was silent, and added: "Even if she really doesn't make incense, she puts it in the dormitory every day, and the stove is smoked has the same effect, but the effect is slower." ”

Cao Ruomi's face was shocked, and she said in surprise: "Do you mean that there will be a miscarriage?" ”

Zhang Baoyue nodded: "Even if it is not a miscarriage, it will be difficult to give birth." ”

Cao Ruomi grabbed her hand tightly and shook her head: "But the emperor's heir is innocent, this, if you just inform this palace, this palace will definitely not-"

Zhang Baoyue held Cao Ruomi back and met her gaze: "Niangniang, Su Lan poisoned the butterfly carp and failed to execute Concubine Shu, isn't it because she is pregnant with a dragon heir?" If she really gives birth to the prince, I am afraid that she will rely on it more in the future, and when she arrives, I am afraid that she will not only threaten your position, but also the position of the prince! ”

Cao Ruomi lowered her eyes, how could she not know?

There was Liang Shufei first, and then Lu Zhaoyi......

Without the Cao family, only relying on the Zhou family and his uncle and others, in the end it is not as good as in the past.

I thought that I could seek a guarantee by taking refuge in the Queen Mother, but unfortunately, the Queen Mother only valued the Lu family.

Zhang Baoyue said: "If she doesn't have this talisman, wouldn't it be easier to move her in the future?" What's more, a woman has a miscarriage at seven or eight months, and the door of the ghost has been closed, even if she really survives, the concubine can make her unable to be favored in the future. ”

Cao Ruomi looked straight at her: "Wouldn't Hongde do this will also affect his own body?" ”

Zhang Baoyue shook her head: "Don't worry, the concubine knows that Concubine Shu understands medical skills, so naturally she won't poison her." ”

Cao Ruomi frowned: "Then what is?" ”

Zhang Baoyue said: "Don't hide it from the mother, the house doctor in the concubine's family is a witch doctor." This method is not poison, but Gu, the day when the concubine is sick is raising Gu, even if the imperial doctor's order comes, she can't detect it, and she is helpless. ”
