As night fell, the imperial court of Ningyue Kingdom fell silent again in the dark, Cai Wei walked to a remote place on the east side of the palace wall, and saw that there was no one around, so she opened her mouth and whispered:

"Mother-in-law, come out. ”

She stepped out from behind the door of the remote palace, covered with a wide black cloak, revealing only her dark eyes, which shone with a breathtaking light in the darkness.

"Let's go. Pickled Po's voice was a little hoarse, and when she slowly spit out these two words, Cai Wei suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her, which made her tremble involuntarily.

"This way, please. Cai Wei led the way in front, and Pickle Po followed behind, bypassing the remote and abandoned palace room, and found another way to the back door of Bizhi Palace, and quietly entered without anyone noticing.

In Shuhexuan's inner room, Concubine Xiang was a little uneasy, the handkerchief in her hand had already been rubbed by her, Mingyue stood aside, and even saw her nervousness.

Suddenly, there was some slight movement outside, and Concubine Xiang was startled and looked outside.

"Little master, you sit down first, and the slave and maid go out to have a look. Mingyue said, turned around and walked out, but saw Cai Wei coming with the pickled woman, "Come in, the little master is in a hurry." ”

The three of them entered the house together, saw Lu Xiangran, saluted, and then Cai Wei spoke: "Little master, this is the folk pickled woman, the slave has already tried it, and she is very clever." ”

"Is it a pickled woman?" Lu Xiangran set her eyes on this old woman who was dressed in black and looked old, as if she had seen a savior, and spoke again, "This time, it is all up to you." ”

"I don't know what the little master wants the grass people to do?" asked the pickled woman, her eyes glowing with a burning light, and she almost had to give up this ridiculous thought in her mind.

"The little lord wants to ask his mother-in-law to help take a look, whether the child in the little lord's belly is a prince or a princess. Mingyue seemed to see Lu Xiangran's timidity, stepped forward, and whispered in the ear of the pickled woman.

"Yes, this palace wants to know whether it is a man or a woman in the stomach. Lu Xiangran listened to Mingyue's words, her eyes flashed with determination, and she glanced at Cai Wei.

But I saw Cai Wei stuffing two gold ingots into the hands of the pickled mother-in-law: "I'm tired of my mother-in-law." ”

She looked at the gold ingot in her hand, smiled with satisfaction, and then stretched out her hand and said, "Please stretch out your arm and let the grass people take the pulse." ”

Lu Xiangran took a deep breath, stretched out his arm, rested on the cushion on the side, and concentrated on the pulse, and for a while, the room was very quiet, and even the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.

"How?" After a while, Pickle Po let go of her hand, and Lu Xiangran asked, with a hint of tremor in her voice unconsciously.

"Enlighten the little master, the child in the belly of the little master...... It's a princess. She bowed her head and said.

For a while, Lu Xiangran suddenly seemed to be relieved, slumped back in the chair, and her chest rose and fell slightly: "It's a princess...... Then, I can't complain about this palace...... Let's get everything out......"

Mingyue glanced at Lu Xiangran, took out a packet of medicine from her sleeve, sprinkled it in the tea that had been prepared, and swayed it slightly, and at the end, she spoke:

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

This is what Mu Qingchen asked her to ask, no mother in the world will kill her child ruthlessly, and this unborn fetus is indeed innocent, if Lu Xiangran doesn't want to do this, Mu Qingchen can even use other methods, everything ...... Only in the thought of Lu Xiangran.

"I have no choice. Lu Xiangran said, picked up the teacup next to him, and drank the cup of water sprinkled with medicinal powder without a moment's hesitation.

Mingyue kept looking at the expression on Lu Xiangran's face, from the initial determination, to grief, forbearance, to the final twist and hideousness, until she couldn't bear the sharp pain in her abdomen anymore, and then she roared:

"My child ......"

At this time, Mingyue clearly saw a trace of hatred in her eyes through Lu Xiang's painful eyes, which was despair and sadness from the depths of her heart, just like Ye Chengcheng drank poisonous wine, the moment before he died, it was no different.

Landlord, you have finally taken the first step to success, because you let a woman, abandon the last pure goodness, incarnate as a Shura ghost from hell, become a sharp blade on your way forward, and stretched out her life-seeking hands to Shen Bihuan and the Shen family.

"Little master, it is not advisable for the pickled woman to stay in the palace for a long time, the slave maid specially let the little seal leave the door, so she will send the pickled woman out. Cai Wei said, said goodbye to Lu Xiangran, and left with the pickled woman.

Night, slightly cool.

The slightly biting cold wind blew on the black wide robe of the pickled woman, making a rustling sound, Cai Wei sent the pickled woman to the side door guarded by Xiao Yinzi, and then turned back to Shuhexuan, but she never thought that not long after she left, a figure appeared by the door, with a smug smile.

"Pickled mother-in-law, summoned by the mother. ”

The person who came walked in the dark with the pickled woman, but not far from the side door, there was a sedan chair parked, and the palace people around the sedan chair held two palace lamps that were not bright, and there were trees to cover them, which did not look public.

"See Niangniang. "The pickled woman bowed and bowed.

"Are things done?" the female voice in the sedan chair was gentle and clear, like a warbler in the dark night.

"That's it, the grass people saw her drink it with their own eyes. The pickled woman said, "Niangniang can rest assured, the child in the belly of Xianggui Concubine is gone, and there is one less confidant in Niangniang." ”

"Hmph, one less, one left. ”

"The grass people are about to tell Niangniang, Niangniang's body is weak today, not ordinary fatigue and fatigue, but caused by medicine, there is a blind heart grass in the Niangniang Palace, which is used to decorate the courtyard because of the evergreen of the four seasons, this grass is mixed with the fragrance in the Niangniang's house, it becomes a poison, the light is weak, the heavy is unconscious, and please take care of the mother. The pickled woman said this word word for word.

"Your words, this palace has written it down, you go, don't appear in front of people in the future. The voice in the palanquin suddenly became cold, and he commanded the pickled woman.

"The grass people retired. She bowed down and exited the side door, a smile on her lips.

It was already the middle of the moon, Shen Bihuan's sedan chair quietly returned to Bizhi Palace, and was helped by Aunt Fang to get off the sedan chair, and when she walked to the door of the dormitory, by the moonlight in the sky, she saw a pot of grass in the courtyard that she had never seen before.

Shen Bihuan stopped, looking at the pot of grass, his eyes flashing slightly.

"Niangniang, this pot is not the heart-warming grass that the woman said? The slave remembers that it was sent by the prisoner. Xiao Xizi, the waiter behind him, was by Shen Bihuan's side, followed Shen Bihuan's gaze, and said quietly.

"That prisoner? are you talking about the maidservant girl of Ye Chengcheng in the past, Ye Xi?" Shen Bihuan was stunned and asked.

"That's her. Earlier, the Empress Dowager asked her to be an errand in the imperial garden to help the Internal Affairs Office send some flowers and plants to the palaces, but she never thought that she would hit the idea on the mother. Kiko said.

"Hmph, a cheap maid, does she have the guts? If no one is behind her, she dares to send poisonous weeds to the palace of the main palace?" Shen Bihuan snorted coldly and said.

"Niangniang mean, there is someone behind this?" asked Xiao Xizi.

"Bao Buqi is that Gu Yanru, I said how did she and that cheap maid hook up so quickly, the two of them have already planned, and they want to use this unpopular thing to harm me quietly!" Shen Bihuan turned around, flicked his sleeves, and walked into the house before speaking again, "So many people come and go, none of them have vision, this grass has been here for more than a month, and it was only reminded by an outsider today." ”

"It's also thanks to the pickled woman, otherwise, the mother wouldn't know about it. Aunt Fang sighed, "What are you going to do?"

"How? Naturally, she used the way of others to govern others, she co-opted that and wanted to deal with me, and I don't know who killed the deer in the end!" Shen Bihuan said and entered the inner room.

Aunt Fang waited to change her clothes, and Cuizhu came over with hot water to wash, and after a long time, she rested.

And when the pickled woman left the palace, she didn't stop at all, and went straight to the star picking tower.

At this time, the Star Picking Building was full of people, full of joy, the conversation tone and laughter were endless, and the pickled woman walked to the back alley of the Star Picking Building, entered through the back door, and came to the entrance of the secret passage.

When she entered the underground secret room of the Star Picking Tower, Mu Qingchen was waiting inside, Ning Chen and Ye Di stood by her side one on the left and one on the right, and Huai Jin and Ji Yu stood respectfully at the bottom.

"My subordinates have seen the landlord. The pickled woman saluted towards Mu Qingchen.

"No need to be polite, it's all done?" Qingchen asked with a light smile.

"It's done, the landlord, Concubine Xiang chose to kill the child, and Concubine Shen Bihuan also turned her eyes to Concubine Gu Yanru, everything is in the landlord's calculations. She nodded.

"In that case, let them fight, the more fierce they fight, the more opportunities we have. A different color flashed in Qingchen's eyes, "When the harem is dead or alive, the court ...... It's time to turn the sky upside down......"

"The landlord is really clever, but I really want to know whether the belly of the noble concubine is a boy or a girl, so let her toss it away. In the end, Shuyu was straightforward and asked directly.

Mu Qingchen didn't make a sound, but the pickled woman smiled: "The fetus in the womb of Concubine Xiang is only more than three months old, and it has not yet been completely formed. ”

"So, is Shen Bihuan completely murderous?" said Zhan Yu and spoke again, "But this trick is also clever, let Xiang Guifei do it herself, so as not to cause her a fishy body." ”

"It's not Shen Bihuan who is smart, it's the person behind her. Qingchen then spoke, "All this, although I am manipulating, but it is the Queen Mother's idea, if she refuses to take this step, things may not go so smoothly." ”

"Speaking of the ability to guess people's hearts, no one can compare to the landlord, if the queen mother knows that the landlord has calculated her, her face does not know how ugly it should be. Huai Jin also smiled, "What's even more interesting is that they thought they had made a good move, but they didn't know that the pickled woman was the owner of the building." ”
