Chapter 71: The Tonic Truth

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chu Yi rubbed his eyebrows, there have been too many things recently, which has provoked him to be angry, in the past, the queen could always come over in time to appease, boil a cup of soup he loved, press his head, and comfort him in a gentle voice.

But now, Meng Tang is no longer by his side.

Chu Yi only felt that his head hurt more, and he asked, "Who was the person in charge of persuading the Fourth Battalion to surrender?" ”

Qi Zhengyan said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is Zhang Sui, the right imperial historian." ”

"Zhang Sui, what a Zhang Sui! Deceive the upper and lower levels! Go, catch Zhang Sui with me, I want to ask him how he is! Chu Yi's eyes showed an inconvenient anger.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Qi Zhengyan left, Chu Yi panted heavily, obviously in his early twenties, but he was young and old, and he did not have the slightest youthful vigor that a teenager should have.

Chu Yi sat down and took a sip of tea to suppress the fire.

picked up the piece of paper that Meng Tang wrote to him again, and rubbed his fingertips on the handwriting.

On this night, both the four battalions and the Zhang family were crying and grabbing the ground.

The emperor used thunderous means to thoroughly investigate the four major battalions, and how many of them were exposed to people overnight! The right Yushi Zhang Sui was even copied!

All those who were implicated in this matter were convicted, and those who were close to them in the past trembled for fear of being implicated.

Chu Yi was busy with these things, and he had already reached the second half of the night.

Li Changfu walked into the imperial study and said, "Your Majesty, it will be early in more than an hour, you should go back and rest." ”

Chu Yi couldn't hide his tiredness, he got up and asked, "Has the queen rested over there?" ”

Li Changfu said: "It's all at this point, the queen must have fallen asleep." ”

Chu Yi was silent.

The more I can't see her, the more I miss her.

He said: "Go to Kunning Palace and take a look, take a look and leave." ”

"Your Majesty, your dragon body ......" Li Changfu wanted to persuade.

Chu Yi said: "Needless to say, I know it in my heart." ”

Li Changfu sighed, he didn't dare to persuade him, he couldn't persuade him.

Li Changfu understands better than anyone that the young son of heaven, the young pro-government, and the things he can do today are all made by His Majesty night after night.

Chu Yi walked down from the dragon chariot and walked to the gate of Kunning Palace.

The two little maidservants stood in front of the palace gate holding the lamp, saw Chu Yi, and hurriedly saluted.

"Slaves and maids see Your Majesty."

"Is the queen alright?" Chu Yi asked.

The maidservant said: "The queen has rested. ”

"I ......" Chu Yi wanted to go in and take a look, and thought of Meng Tang's haggard face, so he dispelled this thought again, for fear of disturbing her.

He stood at the gate of the palace and said, "Call Fang Ning to come over." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, Fang Ning walked over.

Chu Yi said: "You don't have to salute, simply tell me what the queen did today, what she ate, what can be medicated, and how well she slept?" ”

When Fang Ning heard this, she told Chu Yi about the queen's food and clothing to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi was obviously very tired, but he was refreshed when he listened.

A little smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said, "Serve your master well." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Go back, go back to the Qianqing Palace."

*

Meng Tang didn't sleep, she slept in the afternoon, and slept again at night, she just woke up not long ago.

Fang Ning is back.

Meng Tang asked, "Your Majesty is gone?" ”

Fang Ning nodded.

She said with a straight face: "Slave and maid, look at this time, Your Majesty is really worried about Niangniang, Niangniang has always turned His Majesty away, what if Your Majesty is really annoyed with Niangniang in the future?" ”

"If that's the case, it means that his affection for me is nothing more than that." Meng Tang said lightly.

Fang Ning asked curiously: "Niangniang is not worried at all?" ”

Meng Tang is not worried, Chu Yi's favorability towards her has passed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for all Dayong to find a second person who has Chu Yi's favor.

Men, just cheap, the more you can't get it, the more you want it.

What you can't get is the best.

"However, if Your Majesty doesn't come to Niangniang, if you go to the palace of other concubines in the future, what will Niangniang do if she has a heart for other concubines."

Meng Tang'er smiled and reached out to nod her eyebrows.

She said: "Even if he is in the other concubines, who is thinking about him, but not necessarily! ”

It's dawn.

The palace door was wide open, and almost all the big and small officials had received the news of yesterday's events, and the courtiers entered the palace uneasily, intending to welcome a new round of anger from the Son of Heaven.

*

At that time, Caiwei was ordered to go to the appointed place to help Xiao Hongyun get the family letter.

A small eunuch walked out from behind the rockery.

"Sister Caiwei, this was just sent in from outside the palace, you can take it to Concubine Xiao." The little eunuch handed a piece of paper to Caiwei.

Caiwei stuffed a piece of silver into him and said, "You have done a very good job in this matter, and I will send you if my mother has something to do in the future." ”

The little eunuch smiled happily and said, "Then please ask Sister Caiwei to help the slaves say a few kind words in front of Niangniang." ”

Cai Wei stuffed the letter in her arms and said proudly: "Let's go, you are indispensable." ”

On the way back, Rucui, the eldest girl in Concubine Mei's palace, was about to go to the imperial dining room to get breakfast for Concubine Mei.

In the past few days when Concubine Mei was snubbed, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Mei had angered the saint, and the people below were more and more slack against her, and they didn't even deliver breakfast on time.

Rucui was very depressed in her heart.

Caiwei walked happily in the direction of the Yuhua Palace, and didn't pay attention to the person in front of her for a while, collided with Rucui, and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

Both of them cried out at the same time.

Caiwei raised her head, stared at Rucui with big eyes, and said, "You are blind!" ”

Previously, Concubine Xiao helped the queen mother to question Concubine Mei in the Empress Dowager's palace, which directly led to Concubine Mei's fainting and the emperor's snub, and Rucui would also be disgusted with the people in the Yuhua Palace.

She said, "You're blind! You walk without looking at the road, do you? ”

The two looked at each other unpleasantly, and suddenly pinched each other in the aisle.

Caiwei and Rucui's hair were messed up by each other and they were embarrassed.

Cai Wei said viciously: "You wait for me." ”

Rucui rolled her eyes and said, "What are you, but you're just a slave like me." ”

After Caiwei left, a letter floated to Rucui's feet.

Rucui's gaze froze.

She looked around, but there was no one around.

She picked up the letter, opened it curiously, it was Concubine Xiao's family letter, and when she saw the contents inside, she covered her mouth with a shocked face, and then a happy look appeared on her face.

Rucui folded the letter back and put it back in its place, and then hurriedly returned to the Snow Pavilion.

She discovers a big secret.

"Mother, mother!" Rucui stepped into the hall in a hurry.

Concubine Mei looked tired and asked, "What are you yelling about, what are you yelling about, and you don't let people rest?" Let you get a breakfast, what about breakfast? ”

Rucui walked up to her, attached it to her ear, and said, "Niangniang, the slave knows a big secret. ”

"Do you know, some time ago, Concubine Xiao felt that the tonic that the queen drank was wrong, so she secretly asked someone to get a copy of the tonic and handed it back to the Xiao family to let the Xiao family check the ingredients of the tonic.

"I thought the emperor favored her so much, and every time she went to bed, she rewarded the queen with tonics, who knew that it was a child-avoiding medicine! In my opinion, the emperor doesn't have any sincerity towards her, otherwise how could he let his beloved take child-avoiding medicine? ”
