Chapter 214: Lifting the Ban
After being lectured by the emperor, Qiao Yindi's heart was very unbalanced. Why should he be treated like this, she is his imperial concubine, but the queen is favored, and she is worthless in the eyes of the emperor.
Walked out of the imperial study, passed by the imperial garden, and saw the Weiyang Palace opposite, suddenly she thought of something, hurriedly returned to her palace, and after a while, she took a bag out and threw it into the Weiyang Palace.
Ruan Xiaohong, who came out to bring water, happened to see that the bag fell into the flowers and plants of Weiyang Palace. Curiosity drove her to pick it up. Take it in your hand and look at it carefully, the workmanship of the bag is exquisite, and even the pendant on the bag is very exquisite. She didn't want to open it, but when she found a piece of paper in her bag, she finally opened it curiously.
It turned out to be something Qiao Yindi did, and there was a secret letter in the bag, which revealed what happened between the emperor and the palace maid Jinxuan yesterday, and pointed the finger at the emperor's fault. I couldn't guess who it was, but deliberately throwing money into the palace was something that only Qiao Yindi would do.
She was reading the secret letter when a servant girl happened to pass by. She went forward and threatened: "You didn't see anything I picked up just now, this incident should be treated as if it didn't happen, otherwise ......" Where can the maid who has never seen the world withstand her being frightened like this, and her head responds like pounding garlic.
Under Ruan Xiaohong's care, Xu Lianyi's wind and cold gradually improved, and the maidservant who was infected with the plague also became well because of taking the prescription given by Xu Lianyi. Half a month later, Weiyang Palace finally lifted the ban.
During this period, Mu Yunting would send people every day to send a large number of medicinal materials to prevent and control plagues and improve immunity, piling up the entire utility room of Weiyang Palace.
Witty Yu joked to Xu Lianyi: "Although the emperor's people can't accompany Niangniang here, but the emperor's heart is built in this medicinal material, can you see Niangniang?"
"Punchline, you're learning to speak wisely now, flamboyant. Xu Lianyi's face was flushed, and she wanted to pounce and grab the punch line. Huiyu echoed beside her: "Look, Niangniang has the strength to beat people, it really didn't cost the emperor to send a room full of medicinal herbs these days." "Just run.
The three of them chased around the yard, although they didn't get along, Xu Lianyi may not have played together so happily with Huiyu Witty for a long time, as if they were back in their childhood.
Mu Yunting happened to see this scene when he came, and stood outside the door and watched quietly. He knew that Huiyu and Punch Story had a deep relationship with her since childhood, and although the three of them had different statuses, their relationship was like sisters. Looking at the smile on Xu Lianyi's face, all the haze he had been worried about for so many days was swept away.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you help me catch Huiyu, this little hoof dares to make fun of me. Xu Lianyi beckoned to Mu Yunting, who was standing outside the door.
The palace maids saw the emperor coming, and just wanted to luggage, Mu Yunting waved his hand to signal that they didn't have to. It's rare that the queen is so happy today, so let her have fun.
The palace ladies looked at each other, the emperor really loved the queen. Xu Lianyi hid behind Mu Yunting and grimaced at the punch lines and wisdom in front of her.
"Okay, you are not allowed to bully my queen. Mu Yunting stood in front of her and blocked her tightly. Witty Huiyu looked at it and walked away.
"Are you tired?" turned around and hugged Xu Lianyi, who was still panting. "Not tired," the queen's voice was full of happiness. Mu Yunting listened to the slight rise of the corners of her mouth, and took out her own handkerchief to help her sweat.
"Are you sure you're not tired?" Mu Yunting said with a wicked smile, and the corners of his eyes rose. Looking at his squinting eyes, Xu Lianyi took a step back and hurriedly said, "Tired, I feel a little tired now, hehe." After saying that, he turned around and ran into the main hall.
Mu Yunting walked slowly behind, not in a hurry at all, anyway, it was his sooner or later. "Your Majesty, you drink tea. Xu Lianyi diligently helped him pour tea. "Does the emperor still have a lot of official business to do? Xu Lianyi hinted again.
"I'm not busy, I've been busy with official business these days, so I'm free to accompany you all day today. "Mu Yunting doesn't eat her set. After drinking tea, he stepped forward to hug her and whispered, "I miss you so much." Hearing this, Xu Lian's clothes and bones were crispy.
Seeing that the maid who came in with him didn't know him at all, Xu Lianyi asked him curiously: "Your Majesty, why did the maid next to you change?" Mu Yunting replied perfunctorily.
"I don't believe it. Xu Lianyi pouted. Seeing her cute appearance, Mu Yunting couldn't help but peck at the corner of her mouth. "There's a palace maid who has done something wrong and doesn't want to use it. "This can be regarded as half a truth, Mu Yunting thought in his heart.
But why does a palace maid do something wrong and other palace maids will replace it together, this is not Mu Yunting's style of doing things, Xu Lianyi thought silently in her heart, the emperor has never deceived herself, nor has she felt that something is wrong, why is this feeling so strong today.
"What do you think? After saying that, he carried her into the bedroom, and Xiao Beisheng was a new love, and it was another whole night of tossing.
The next day, Qiao Yindi came to visit Xu Lianyi, the beautiful name is that the queen is recovering from a serious illness, she is naturally going to visit when she is a sister, these days to pray for blessings, even dreams are to pray for the queen's mother, yesterday I heard that the ban on Weiyang Palace was lifted, and today I can't wait to visit the queen.
"My sister has a heart, and I miss my sister these days. Xu Lianyi cooperated with her to act, and also pretended to be a sister.
The two chatted a few more words, and Qiao Yindi was ready to leave. As soon as she walked out of the main hall, she was stopped by Ruan Xiaohong and pulled her into her room for questioning.
"Jieyu Niangniang, I have something I want to ask. Ruan Xiaohong didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated his purpose. "Now I should call you sister, Sister Ruan Fangyi can ask if she has something, don't be so polite. ”
"Jinxuan's matter, did you instruct it?" Ruan Xiaohong asked as he stared at her eyes motionlessly. "Who is Jinxuan? I don't know. Qiao Yindi had a blank expression on her face, if people who didn't know her would almost believe it.
"Don't pretend to be confused, I know you've always wanted to frame the queen mother, but you don't need to use this kind of trick, what's in it for you?" Ruan Xiaohong asked again.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Qiao Yindi continued to pretend to be confused. "You know what tricks you know. What good will it do you for Jinxuan to ascend the throne? Will the emperor be influenced by you people? The relationship between the emperor and the empress cannot be shaken by anyone. Ruan Xiaohong continued.
Xu Lianyi originally took some of her jewelry and wanted to give it to Ruan Xiaohong, thanking her for taking care of her these days, and just before she walked to her room, she heard the conversation between her and Qiao Yindi. I felt that it would be rude for me to go in now, so I stood outside the door and listened patiently to what they said.
What she didn't expect was that this matter had something to do with the emperor. Xu Lianyi, who couldn't hold back, pushed the door in. Both of them panicked when they saw the comer.
"What the hell is going on, who is Jinxuan?" Xu Lianyi looked at Ruan Xiaohong's eyes, and looked at Xu Lianyi's eyes from Ruan Xiaohong's point of view, which was full of panic and sadness. This also frightened Ruan Xiaohong.
"Queen Mother, listen to me explain to you first, don't be sad first. Ruan Xiaohong calmed her emotions first. After adjusting her emotions, Xu Lianyi said flatly: "You say." ”
"That's right, I picked up a bag in the courtyard a few days ago, which contained a secret letter, which said that the emperor had a relationship with Jinxuan, the maid of the river palace, after he was drunk. But the slave maid thought that this secret letter was written by Jieyu Niangniang, so she asked her just now. After listening to Ruan Xiaohong's words, the queen nodded and said that she knew.
"Queen Mother, Jinxuan's matter really has nothing to do with me, and I don't know who sent this secret letter. However, it was Jinxuan's first palace maid who dared to seduce the emperor, and the death penalty was inevitable. Qiao Yindi first exonerated herself, and then provoked Xu Lianyi to let her kill Jinxuan.
Hearing this, Xu Lianyi also suspected in her heart that the mastermind behind this matter was Qiao Yindi, and wanted to borrow her hand to kill Jinxuan, but she was not fooled.
"What's wrong with the palace maid?" After Xu Lianyi finished speaking, she looked at Qiao Yindi with her eyes, as if to say: "You were not as good as the palace maid at that time, weren't you still led by the emperor to the palace?" Qiao Yindi was stared at by her and her face turned white and red.
"You don't care about this matter, as the master of the harem, I will naturally solve it. Just when Qiao Yindi thought that she would not speak again, the queen's voice sounded again.
After knowing this, Xu Lianyi chose to believe that Mu Yunting was drunk, and it was Jinxuan who seduced him first, because she knew enough about the emperor who had accompanied her for more than ten years.
In front of Mu Yunting, she was still laughing as usual, pretending that she never knew, which was also because of unreserved trust.
Although the plague in Weiyang Palace has been completely controlled and the patient has recovered, the plague in Chuzhou is getting worse and worse, originally just a small county town people were infected with the plague, and later because the spread speed is too fast, and there are not so many medicinal materials to control the plague, the plague spread to the entire Chuzhou, and even has a tendency to spread to the capital.
The whole capital was in a state of panic, everyone was afraid of death, and some even started to march in the streets. Mu Yunting sent Xu Jihang to guard Chuzhou, and brought the medical team and medicinal materials to go together.
Because the medicinal materials used to treat the plague were too precious and too rare, and more and more people were suffering from the plague, it was impossible to control the situation at all.
But in order to appease the hearts of the people in the capital, Xu Jihang lied that the plague had been brought under control and prevented the displaced people from entering the city. Mu Yunting finally let go of the worry in his heart after hearing this.
Somehow, there are also people in the capital who have symptoms of the plague.
It turned out that the plague spread too fast, and the transmission channels were diverse, and it had spread to the city of Lijing.
