Even Yun'er was imprisoned in the Shen Criminal Division, and she was imprisoned again, and Concubine Xian can be said to be completely isolated this time. But after all, she was pregnant with the Dragonborn, and the emperor still transferred new palace people to serve her, and the food and drink were no different from the past.

"Niangniang, even if you don't care about your body, you have to take care of the dragon fetus. Wouldn't it be even more sinful if you hurt the fetus if you don't eat or drink like this?"

"What's your name?"

"Slave Cui. As she spoke, she served soup to Concubine Xian and signaled that she wanted something to eat. Concubine Xian picked up the soup bowl and thought for a while, then put it down and saluted Cui Nushi and said: "Lu Qiao is really helpless, please ask my aunt to help me!" Cui Nushi quickly helped her up and said: "If Niangniang has something to order, the slave will never dare to accept such a big gift from Niangniang!" Concubine Xian still refused to stand up and continued: "Now, I am under house arrest in the palace, and even my personal girl Yun'er is uncertain. Auntie has lived in the palace for a long time, can you help me inquire about Yun'er's life and death?"

"Niangniang's top priority should not be to care about the life and death of a palace maid, but to regain His Majesty's trust, as long as His Majesty's trust returns, then Miss Yun'er will not die. ”

"Please aunt teach me!" Concubine Xian already knew from Lady Cui's words and demeanor that she was by no means an ordinary palace person. Turning to her yourself at this time will definitely help.

"Niang Niang is a smart person, and she must have guessed who set up this game. Cui Nushi has already helped Concubine Xian up and settled her down. Concubine Xian's eyes suddenly darkened a lot when she heard her say this, and she whispered two words quietly: I know.

"That Yue'er girl was sent by Concubine Shu to work as an errand in the Imperial Catering Bureau, do you know?? ”

"Imperial Diet?" Concubine Xian repeated suspiciously. Without waiting for Concubine Xian to digest it properly, Cui Nushi suddenly asked such an irrelevant sentence without a clue: "How many months has Niangniang's fetus be?" Concubine Xian had to answer honestly: "It's been more than three months." ”

"The emperor's heirs are scarce, so I attach great importance to your child. Therefore, Niangniang's daily life must be extra careful, especially in terms of diet, no matter where the things are sent, they will be tested for poison, can Niangniang know?" Cui Nushi handed Concubine Xian a meaningful look after saying this.

"What do you mean?"

"The slave and maid still have errands, so they will retire first. ”

Concubine Shu knows very well that even if Concubine Xian is in prison now, as long as she gives birth to Lin'er one day, she will inevitably turn over. Therefore, she assigned Yue'er to the Imperial Catering Bureau as an errand to be responsible for the meals of Yunyun Palace. She secretly arranged for someone to poison Concubine Xian and then blame Yue'er, which is a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

The palace people of Yunyun Palace still did not vomit any valuable inside information under the severe torture of the Shen Criminal Division, and the trial of Concubine Xian's mother in Dali Temple outside had almost no actual progress. It was at this time that Concubine Xian suffered from abdominal pain after eating the meal presented by the Imperial Diet Bureau. Cui Nushi, who was serving Concubine Xian, did not immediately summon the imperial doctor, but immediately went to the Yangju Palace to report to His Majesty. The emperor immediately ordered the imperial physician to be diagnosed and treated, and at the same time strictly ordered a thorough investigation, and the female histories in charge of the concubine's diet, including Yue'er, were all escorted to the Shen Penal Division for trial. Concubine Xian's abdominal pain had not yet improved, and all the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital had been summoned to Yunyun Palace. The emperor was also anxious as an ant on a hot pot when he sat in the main hall. Concubine Shu was also very surprised when she heard this information, and at the same time secretly delighted: It seems that this palace is not the only one who does not want her to give birth to a prince! But she still pretended to hurry to Yunyun Palace, and pretended to comfort the emperor and said something about the auspicious people's own natural appearance.

After a full hour, the pain of the inner concubine* slowly weakened. The Tai Hospital, Yuan Zheng, finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang and the fetus in her womb are all right. ”

"Congratulations to the emperor!" Concubine Shu reacted quickly, and immediately walked inside to "visit" her sister Concubine Xian, after saying goodbye to the emperor.

The results of Shen Xingsi's interrogation of the female history of the Imperial Diet Bureau were also presented: it was Shi Yue'er, the female of the imperial diet, who put croton in the soup of Concubine Xian.

"Yue'er?" the emperor was a little impressed by the name.

Cui Nushi took over the emperor's words: "Back to Your Majesty, Miss Yue'er was assigned to the Imperial Catering Bureau by Concubine Shu after serving Concubine Xian Niangniang in Yunyun Palace before. ”

"Is that the palace maid who threw King Ying's jade pendant out at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The emperor suddenly became furious and ordered the chief eunuch, "Bring it up, I will try her myself!" The emperor probably thought that the last time and this time were all aimed at Concubine Xian.

Yue'er was escorted to the Yangju Palace and interrogated by the emperor himself, and Cui Nushi took the holy word to the Shen Penal Division to release Yun'er. Concubine Xian was naturally very grateful to Cui Nushi, and thanked her many times. Cui Nushi reminded her to pay attention to her body, because there are still good shows waiting for her to sing next. But Yun'er's suspicion of Cui Nushi has not diminished by half a point, and she is still cold to Cui Nushi. Concubine Xian couldn't help but reprimand Yun'er for not knowing how to be respectful and inferior, but Yun'er still refused to retreat, "I have always said that the heart of defense is indispensable, Niang Niang will be healed so quickly, will the scar forget the pain?!"

"You ......" Concubine Xian was so angry that she was speechless for a while.

After giving a salute to Concubine Xian, Cui Nushi said: "It's true that the slave maid is not helping you, but the target of the maid is the master of the palace, and the target of the slave and maid is also, isn't this enough." Yun'er's personality was already arrogant, but she didn't expect to meet someone who was even more arrogant than herself, she couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed, she just wanted to reprimand Cui Nushi for Concubine Xian, and she was stopped by Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian owed a debt on the bed and said to Cui Nushi: "In that case, does my aunt have any plans in the future?"

"Let's finish watching the scene in front of me first. ”

When Concubine Shu was just in charge of the harem, the emperor pampered a female historian one day and was ready to canonize her as Zhaoyi, but this female historian fell into the well and drowned inexplicably before the canonization ceremony. This female history is the niece of Cui female history. Cui Nushi learned that it was the murder of Concubine Shu's order after many investigations, and since then she has been plotting revenge. Then Concubine Xian entered the palace, and she soon knew that in order to bring down Concubine Shu, she had to have a comparable backer. Therefore, she quickly sided with Concubine Xian and helped Concubine Xian out of the predicament.

There was no substantial progress in the emperor's interrogation of Yue'er, and Yue'er said that she didn't know anything except blindly shouting injustice. However, after all, the emperor was deeply thoughtful, and he no longer asked Concubine Xian about the food poisoning, but asked: "I heard that Concubine Shu sent you to the Catering Bureau?" Yue'er's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she hurriedly replied and admitted. What she didn't expect was that the emperor immediately asked, "You are from the palace of Concubine Xian, why does Concubine Shu treat you well?" Yue'er was suddenly speechless and panicked again.

The emperor's face suddenly sank, "The so-called jade pendant of the virtuous concubine at the last Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet was also arranged by Concubine Shu to be thrown by you, right?!"

"No, it's not!" Yue'er was already flustered to the point of incoherence.

The emperor did not have the patience to listen to her defense, but ordered the attendant outside the door: "Pull out the rod and die!"

After this incident, the emperor completely lost confidence in Concubine Shu, and began to guard against her, because he later remembered that Concubine Shu liked King Ying back then, maybe the jade pendant was hers.
