Chapter 202: Suspicion
Yuan Xi lay in the side hall for three days before he was relieved of half his life. Queen Xu is remembered who she was back then, and she felt that no woman was willing to lose her child, so she didn't blame Yuan Xi too much, and ordered people to send bird's nest and chicken soup to replenish her body every day.
Mother Zhong went back to the Prince's Mansion during this time, because Rong Zhan had instructed before leaving, she was afraid that Yuan Xi would see the injury of things, so she asked Mother Zhong to burn all the baby clothes and playthings in the house and throw them away before Yuan Xi returned to the house.
Since the day of childbirth, Won-hee has had an extra fox in his dreams, and he often dreams that the red fox smiles at himself, and then shows his blood-red teeth. Every time Yuan Xi woke up from a dream, he was in a cold sweat. But listening to Mother Zhong, the emperor asked someone to dig up the abandoned palace, and he didn't see any red foxes.
The blood room can only enter after three days, and Princess Chenxiang came to visit Yuanxi after the third day, because she felt that Yuanxi's miscarriage was partly due to her, so she didn't even dare to raise her head when she was sorry.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, it's all my fault that I shouldn't run around and worry you. Chen Xiang lowered her head and quietly wiped her tears: "If I hadn't run around, you and the second brother would not have lost Xiao Shizi." ”
Won-hee touched her face, only to find that her eyes were crying like two peaches, red and swollen and terrifying. Presumably in the past few days, she has not shed much tears, Yuan Xi patted her on the shoulder: "Good sister, I can't blame you for this matter." ”
Of course, you can't blame Chenxiang for this, after all, Yuanxi did see a person wearing the same costume as Chenxiang being kidnapped by the man in black. Although she can't produce physical evidence now, she did receive two notes, and those internal guards did encounter an attack by Hidden Arrows in the ruined palace, as evidenced by the dead man.
There are not so many coincidences in the world, it's just that the authorities are obsessed, and in hindsight, this is simply someone deliberately set a trap to wait for themselves to drill into it.
Yuan Xi suddenly felt a chill down her spine, how many people in the royal family hated her were she didn't know yet? No matter how powerful Shangshu Mansion was, it was impossible for her to reach out to the palace. The crossbow arrows, the foxes, and the men in black were clearly designed by those who were familiar with the things in the palace.
There are so many people in the palace, except for the queen, every lady who has a prince is possible. Rong Zhan's crown prince has already made many people hate and red-eyed, if Yuan Xi gives birth to an emperor's eldest grandson, and this child is the emperor's grandson, such a status is simply unspeakably expensive. Who wants such a thing to happen? Only the emperor and empress and Chenxiang are the only ones.
Yuan Xi wiped away her tears for Chen Xiang and asked, "Have you been staying in the side hall that day?
Chen Xiang thought for a while and shook his head: "I went to the dormitory to look for the box, but I didn't find it, I thought, could it be that I accidentally forgot it in the side hall, so I went to the side hall to find it." Imperial sister-in-law, will there be any strange people in Cheng'an Palace?"
Yuan Xi frowned: "Do you often forget the box in the side hall?"
Chenxiang shook her head again: "I actually rarely take the box out of the dormitory, but I went to the side hall once a few days ago, and I don't know if I brought the box or not, so I went to see it." ”
"Is the box in the side hall?"
"I found it in a drawer in the side hall. Chen Xiang looked at Yuan Xi blankly: "Imperial sister-in-law, is there anything wrong with candied fruit?"
There is nothing wrong with the candied fruit, but the placement of this box is a little suspicious, but it is not ruled out that Chen Xiang really forgot the box in the side hall.
Yuan Xi said: "Chen Xiang, can you go back and ask, did anyone see a man in black that day, and a woman wearing the same clothes as you." And on the windowsill of your dormitory, there is not a single trace of an arrow nailed? ”
Chen Xiang went back and asked half-incomprehensibly, but there were hundreds of ten palace maids in Cheng'an Palace, without exception, all of them said no. Although the Cheng'an Palace is large, it is nothing more than a few palaces and a few corridors, could it be that two people with such strange costumes appear in the palace, and no palace maid will see them at the same time? This is absolutely impossible.
Someone must have lied, maybe the man in black and the princess were originally pretended to be the palace maids of Cheng'an Palace.
As for the pit left by the arrow, Chenxiang found it, although someone repaired it afterwards, but some traces could still be seen. Yuan Xi was silent for a while, feeling that this matter was too wide, and the mastermind behind the scenes carefully designed such a big drama, is the ultimate goal of the child in his belly?
That pit is the proof that she received the note, and someone repaired it, which means that there are minions of the mastermind behind the scenes in Cheng'an Palace. After he fainted, the person who changed his clothes for him was not Mother Zhong, it must have been the maid in the queen's palace, and they also took the note.
Won-hee thought it was incredible. This person actually bought off the palace maids of Cheng'an Palace and the Middle Palace at the same time? He also got a peculiar fox into the palace, and what is even more terrifying is that he also has a group of minions who fly on the wall, and can fire hidden arrows and notes at Yuan Xi at different times and from different directions.
Chen Xiang was puzzled: "Imperial sister-in-law, do you suspect that someone deliberately harmed you?"
Yuan Xi raised his head and looked at Chen Xiang: "Do you believe it, there are foxes in this palace." ”
Miyaka was stunned for a while: "Fox?"
Chen Xiang almost wanted to ask what the fox looked like, but after a few quick turns in her brain, she remembered that there was a fox in an ancient painting.
She has grown so big, let alone a fox, and she has never seen a cat a few times, and the last time she saw a dog was in Prince Bao's mansion. In addition to birds and fish, how can there be foxes in this palace?
"Have you seen a fox in the palace?" Chen Xiang thought it was incredible, this palace was heavily guarded, who could let a fox in without being discovered?
"It's in the ruined palace, and it doesn't know where it came out of nowhere. I think there must be someone in the ruined palace, or some hiding place, otherwise why did the internal guards search and find nothing. As soon as I entered, a fox popped out?"
Chen Xiang pursed her lips: "But we can't go to see it anymore, my father has already ordered the waste palace to be sealed." ”
Yuan Xi sighed, and Chen Xiang said again: "By the way, imperial sister-in-law, Concubine Zhao from your prince's mansion entered the palace today, has she come to see you?"
"How do you know?" Yuan Xi looked at Mother Zhong, and Mother Zhong also felt that there was a deception in the matter: "Concubine Zhao has not met the queen yet." ”
"What? didn't the queen mother call her?"
"The queen didn't announce anyone to come to the palace? Could it be that the princess was wrong? What does that person look like?" asked Mother Zhong.
"Well......" Chen Xiang stroked her sideburns: "I didn't see Concubine Zhao either, I saw a maid who looked very much like the Yan'er next to her, so I thought she had entered the palace." ”
Mother Zhong was deflated, there are more than 3,000 women in the huge harem, and there are more people who look alike, without Zhao Kezhen, how can a girl enter the palace?
......
Yan'er knelt down in front of Liu Guifei's palace, her every move was cautious, not because she was afraid of Liu Guifei, but because of the pain in her butt that she was beaten a few days ago.
Liu Guifei said with a smile: "Presumably this time your master can be satisfied." ”
Yan'er held her buttocks and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, my concubine said that when the wind passes, she will personally bring a thank you gift to meet her mother." ”
Liu Guifei didn't think so, a little thank-you gift was not enough to make her feel anything, and slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip: "The inner eunuch of your Zhao Mansion has been hiding here in the palace for a long time, even if the palace is a fence and an iron door bolt, but after all, the paper can't contain the fire." In this matter, your Zhao family also has to exert some strength to get this person out of the palace as soon as possible, this palace doesn't want to be afraid every time you see the emperor. ”
Yan'er said: "Don't worry, my master has already started to make arrangements, and I believe that in a few days, Zhao Shu will be able to get Zhao Shu out of the palace." If the mother bothers to take in her for a few more days, the Zhao Mansion will be grateful. ”
Liu Guifei stripped her sideburns and said gently: "By the way, get that fox out again." She snorted disdainfully: "This fox is nothing more than that, what is bloodthirsty, carnivorous, and said that it was raised with mastiffs, but when it comes to it, he doesn't even dare to jump on a two-story platform." With one foot on the edge of the guardrail, it was clever, afraid that it would fall. ”
Liu Guifei was angry when she thought of the fox, although Wei Yuanxi also fell off the high platform because of the fox and lost the child, but she always felt that this fox should be a little more powerful, so sharp claws, why couldn't she scratch Wei Yuanxi's face a few times? Let Wei Yuanxi lose the child and ruin her appearance, this is not in vain for her Datong arrangement!
That fox was obtained from the Western Regions by the Zhao Mansion for a thousand taels of gold, and no matter how bad it was, it took a lot of effort. was complained by Liu Guifei like this, Yan'er was not very happy, but she didn't dare to attack in front of her master, so she had to bow her head and listen.
"That's what Niang Niang said, but this fox is already the best from the Western Regions. You know that in that wild place in the Western Regions, nothing good can come out. ”
"That's it. Liu Guifei rubbed her eyebrows: "Speaking of which, this palace can't stand your Zhao family, that fox always chirps in the middle of the night, and his throat is poisoned by a bowl of dumb medicine in this palace." ”
Yan'er was suffocated, the fox was the favorite thing of the eldest young master in the house, you must know that the most amazing thing about the spirit fox in the Western Regions was its cry. When they are young, they call like larks, and when they are adults, they bark louder than the mastiffs in the family. Yan'er felt a little painful, a thousand taels of gold should only be worth five hundred taels now, right?
Yan'er smiled reluctantly: "Niangniang has helped the Zhao family so much, what is a fox?"
"That's it, on the side of the ruined palace, the people in the palace have already cleaned everything up, and the emperor's people dug into the ground and didn't find any traces, you don't have to worry. Liu Guifei sneered: "Speaking of the three crossbows that your family got and there are still words engraved on them, are you afraid that the emperor will not find a source?"
Yan'er hurriedly apologized again: "It's all the Zhao Mansion's poor preparation, which made the mother bother." ”
"In that case, you go back and discuss with your master first, agree on a precise time and place, and then come and tell the palace. All the evidence must be destroyed before the surnamed Wei returns to the Prince's Mansion. Remember, go back and tell your master, don't be too pretentious, and don't play any more stupid tricks than shark fin soup. The surname Wei is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if you show your feet again, don't blame the palace for turning its face and not recognizing people. ”
