Chapter 25 Chapter 25: Punishment

Looking at the beautiful curves in front of him, Lian Xin's clear and beautiful face seemed to be covered with crystal tears, as if accusing him of being fickle, he panicked.Pushing the person in his arms away. "I'm sorry, you should rest first!" Then, he left the wedding night that originally belonged to him as if fleeing. Xinzhe library. The sleepless night finally passed, Yu Shu woke up on the bunk, turned to look at Lian Xin who was sleeping next to him, but found that there was no one there.The quilt was neatly folded, and when I reached out to touch it, there was no temperature on the couch.She still remembered that the two of them were chattering away last night. She probably couldn't bear the fatigue and fell asleep holding the quilt and clothes. When she woke up, she found that the quilt had already covered her body.

Yushu washed up briefly, put the copper basin away, and saw the maid next to her come in with steamed buns and hot porridge - for Xiaorui. Since the fire in the housing estate that day, Xiaorui has been recuperating on the bed - her left leg was injured by the latticework, and her ankle was also burned by the fire.Aunt Panchun asked the old eunuch who had some medical knowledge in the palace to see it, but the treatment was still not timely, and there was no good medicine. The old eunuch said that half of her leg would be limping after recovery. "Hey, why are you still here? Aunt Panchun said that someone came from Zhongcui Palace and told you two to come over."

Yu Shu was startled, "When?" "Just now, hurry up, you will be punished if you are late." The palace maid said, ignored her, and went to take care of Xiaorui who was already awake. Yu Shu wanted to ask her if she had seen Lian Xin, but suddenly remembered something, picked up a cloak and walked outside. There are many housing estates in Xinzhekuli, which have been inhabited by people and have never been inhabited by people, with a thick layer of dust and spider silk accumulated.I think they spent a lot of energy cleaning the room they live in now, and it took until early the next morning before they looked a little habitable.During this period, they found several gazebos hidden in the corridors of the housing estates. The conditions were bleak and few people visited.

Yushu walked around a narrow passage in the housing estate, and sure enough, he saw a figure sitting with his knees hugged against the porch pillar. The whole person was like a delicate stone statue, with his head slightly raised, staring at the sky without moving. It's been a long time. "What are you thinking about? The wind is so cold here, I don't know how to wear more." Yu Shu walked over, gently put the cloak on her shoulders, and touched her cheek with her fingers, it was cold.Yushu's nose was sore, and she couldn't help pushing her. The girl looked back quietly, with a pair of dark eyes, it seemed that there was an infinite mystery hidden deep in her eyes.When it is projected over, it seems to be looking at you, but it seems to be looking at another person, the pupils seem to be light but thick, and they are still hesitant to speak.

Yu Shu was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly remembered the first time he saw this unpleasant girl in the palace—with bright starry eyes, it seemed that he never knew the feeling of sorrow, but he said that he hid all the tact and twists. Into the pupil heart.But it was better than now, Qing Lingling was lifeless. Last night was due to the prince's big wedding, and the bride was taken out from the palace as an exception due to the favor of the emperor.The gate of Cangzhen was wide open, and outside the door, on the ten-mile long street in Dongtongzi, there were ten miles of red carpets, gongs and drums, and lanterns and festoons. It was as festive and lively as if a princess in the palace came out of the pavilion.Because they were also staying in the palace, they could vaguely hear the melodious singing from the other side of the palace.

She had seen the good times in the past with her own eyes, but in just a short time, they had already entered the palace, walked through the Zhongcui Palace once, and were punished to enter the Xinzheku.And that handsome and gentle prince has also tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart, Miss Jiajia.It turns out that not only time has changed, but people have also changed, and they all lost to Fleeting Years. "In fact, many things don't have to be thought about so much. Since we are already here, we should do the current things well. I don't ask for glory and wealth, and I don't want to fly to the branches to be a phoenix. I just want to be in the palace. The years can be peaceful and simple. Firstly, it will not cause trouble to the family, and secondly, I can send some money to the family every month. This is my greatest wish now. But you are different. Although the prince is married, as long as He misses you and thinks of you in his heart, maybe there will be a chance to take you out of the palace in the future." Sitting beside her, Yu Shu looked up at the sky that had been hazy for a long time, occasionally a cloud covered the sun.

"Last night, he sent someone over..." Lian Xin lowered her head and said quietly. Yu Shu was startled, and looked at her incomprehensibly, but saw that she stretched out her hand, and the lotus-patterned sachet in her palm was already wrinkled, but it contained her warmth.Quietly untie the silk sash, revealing the round beans inside, bright red like blood and crystal clear like coral. "This is... red beans?!" Acacia beans, send love silk, send lovesickness.On his wedding day, he had someone bring her a handful of lovesickness beans, while she sat in the pavilion all night, listening to the drums and singing, without waiting for an explanation or turning around.

Maybe there are reasons... But once some things are broken, they can never be restored.It was as if she had thought about it all night and realized that she was originally a show girl in the banner, no matter what the reason was, she had to enter the palace for the draft.I never expected to be selected before, I just wanted to take good care of Ama and Erniang after returning home from the palace, and I never considered whether I should find an ordinary family and find a loyal and honest person to entrust for life . Since stepping into the gate of the palace, many things have changed, the feeling has changed, the state of mind has also changed, but after going around for a while, he still returned to the original place.If I had never met, if I had never known each other... Lian Xin picked up a red bean in the sachet and put it in front of her eyes. It was as light as a weightless bean, exuding a faint halo, blurred and unreal.This is more like a sweet and gorgeous dream of smoke. When the smoke clears, everything becomes a bubble, and there is no trace left.

"Lianxin, look, no matter how gloomy the weather is, there will be a sunny day, and the morning glow will come out." At this time, Yushu's joyful voice came from beside him. Lian Xin raised her face following her line of sight, and in just a split second, the magnificent sunlight broke through the clouds, shattering the entire sky, and the light projected from it made people feel as if they were just waking up from a dream. The sachet that had been tightly held in her hand was no longer warm, Lian Xin pointed the red bean to the sky, and even the bright red color faded indifferently in front of such a magnificent scene.

At this moment, Wu Yingyun was sitting in the main hall of Xianfu Palace, restlessly holding a chess piece, but he couldn't fall down no matter what.On the red carpet in front of her, Xi Xiang kept walking up and down, sighing from time to time.Wu Yingyun raised her head impatiently, and reprimanded: "Can you sit quietly for a while? My head hurts from walking." Xi Xiang's eyes were a little red, and she looked at Wu Yingyun with some reproach, "What time is it, my sister is still thinking about playing chess. The imperial doctor has been in for a long time, and there is no movement at all. If the little princess makes a mistake, everyone will I can't bear it..." She bit her lip, and there was a deep cry in her voice.

Wu Yingyun glanced at her dully, got up from the open chair, and walked into the bedroom with strides. The boudoir dedicated to the little princess is placed on the east side, and several rooms are separated by glass-covered skirt boards. The floor is paved with mysterious stones, and there are hollowed-out hanging flower doors everywhere.The crystal curtain was drawn, and they walked through the half-opened moon door inside. Outside the exquisite and gorgeous soft cave, there were several imperial doctors in official robes, who were frowning and rubbing their chins at the moment. nice. One of the sitting imperial doctors was taking the pulse of the little princess, stroking his beard and listening to something, but for a moment, he shook his head again and again.This is Chen Yuandao, the chief judge of Tai Hospital, an old imperial doctor who specialized in pulse diagnosis for Qianqing Palace.Wu Yingyun walked to his side, quietly waiting for the diagnosis results.Xi Xiang took out her brocade handkerchief, looked at the little princess lying motionless on the couch, and wiped her tears. At this moment, footsteps sounded outside, but Concubine Qin hurried in with a few medical girls from the Royal Pharmacy, "How's the situation?" Seeing Concubine Qin, Xi Xiang sobbed, "Ms. Concubine Tai, please take a look at the little princess. From yesterday to now, she has been unconscious and frightened all the concubines." Concubine Qin frowned deeply, looking at the little girl's sallow face, she couldn't help feeling distressed. At this time, Chen Yuandao got up and saluted her after he had checked the pulse, and then said: "According to the old minister, it should be poisoned." Wu Yingyun's footsteps swayed, and suddenly he felt dizzy.Poisoning, how could it be poisoning? Concubine Qin's complexion suddenly darkened, and she turned her eyes to Wu Yingyun and Xixiang, "The Ai family asked you to take care of the little princess. Is that how you take care of the little princess? Was it poisoned by the people in the palace on purpose or by the two of you?" One? Say!" Xi Xiang was so frightened that she plopped and knelt on the ground, Wu Yingyun also held her skirt and knelt down. "Ms. Taifei, my concubine has been wronged!" "The heart of a concubine can be learned from the sun and the moon. The concubine's palace is full of old people who have served for many years. Such a thing will never happen. Please check it out!" Concubine Qin was sullen, flung her robe sleeves, and swept the porcelain on the table on the ground, "They all said it wasn't me, but you are the closest people to her. If there is anything wrong with the royal granddaughter of the Ai family, I am sorry There is no need to wait for Fugong, Beiwusuo has no place for you, go directly to the clan mansion and wait for the beheading!" Xixiang's eyes widened, and she cried out with a "wow". At this time, Chen Yuandao arched his hands and asked, "I wonder what the little princess ate before she fell into a coma?" Concubine Qin looked at Wu Yingyun, then at Xixiang, but Xixiang choked up and said: "The little princess's daily meals are taken care of by concubines, and before each meal is given to her, a special person is arranged to test it. Vegetables... On that day, the concubine remembered that after the little princess had lunch, she played around in the imperial garden for a while, and when she came back, she drank a little honey prepared by Sister Yun, and then she became like this." Honey?Concubine Qin frowned, waved her hands at the nurse in the imperial pharmacy behind her and said, "Go and see what Mr. Qiangui said, and test whether it contains toxins." The daily preparation of meals in the palace will report the subjects to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, just for fear that if there is a slight misstep, it will bring disaster to oneself.The ingredients from yesterday are still there, and the leftover meals are also kept. The female doctors tried them one by one with silver needles, but there was no problem.At this time, the palace maid brought a tray, on which was the honey that Wu Yingyun had fed to the little princess. All eyes fell on Wu Yingyun's face.Concubine Qin stared gloomyly at the jar containing jujube honey, and raised her hand for inspection.At this moment, Wu Yingyun stood up suddenly with a dignified face, opened the honey pot, dug out a large spoonful, and swallowed it without drinking water.Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the medical girl was holding a silver needle to test the nectar in the jar at this very moment, but it turned out that it was not poisonous.The maidservants in the palace were all relieved—the empress is fine. Concubine Qin looked at Wu Yingyun with a somewhat complicated expression, "The Ai family didn't suspect it was you, but if it was true that the servants around him were doing something in this honey, but you didn't know it, and you drank it again, wouldn't it be your own life?" Did you get in too?" Wu Yingyun leaned back again, "Emperor Niang, these palace people around this concubine have experienced years of cold and heat with this concubine, and they are loyal, and this concubine does not want to doubt them. However, this concubine feels that since this concubine takes care of the little The responsibility of the princess, now that she is still poisoned, the concubine is duty-bound. If there is something wrong with the honey, even if the concubine sacrifices her life, it will not be enough to repay the trust of the empress." Concubine Qin felt a lot of emotion when she finished speaking, and gave her a gesture to get up. Xi Xiang turned her back, her eyes swept over the little princess on the bed and the concubine Yun next to her, with a sneer on her face—she was really shrewd, she took the initiative to attack, and she was very shrewd. "Emperor Niang, I believe there must be a reason for the little princess's poisoning. The concubine has the responsibility of taking care of her, so she must assist Huang Erniang to investigate this matter as soon as possible." Concubine Qin nodded, looked at Chen Yuan and said, "In your opinion, the condition of the little maid is not serious?" "Reporting to Concubine Qi, the little princess has not been seriously poisoned, but her high fever has just subsided, her body is weak, and she cannot see the cold or the wind. Wait for the old minister to go down and prescribe a prescription and make some soups. I believe she will wake up soon. " Concubine Qin felt a little relieved, with a tired look on her brows.Seeing this, Wu Yingyun supported her arm and said: "The queen's mother is not in good health, so don't worry too much about it. The concubine will investigate this matter clearly, and the queen's mother should go back to the palace first." "Then thank you for your hard work!" Wu Yingyun smiled slightly and nodded solemnly. The rest of the imperial doctors bowed their heads and respectfully sent Princess Qin and her party out of the main hall. Since the current emperor ascended the throne, the palace has been in charge of the palace by Concubine Qin, who is not the queen mother but is better than the queen mother.However, when something like this happened, Concubine Qin was very worried, and she must investigate thoroughly.But at this time, the emperor was going to the Rehe Palace to meet the Mongolian envoy, and he was not in the palace. It seemed that Concubine Qin lacked a backbone, and she could not be at peace for several days. The Queen of Chuxiu Palace is a mild-tempered person, born in Zhenghuang Banner, Manchuria, and the daughter of Minister Fei Yanggu.She was originally the concubine Fujin of Prince Yong's Mansion, and after the original fourth prince was crowned the Great Treasure, she became the original concubine concubine.She had always lived in seclusion and lived in seclusion. After giving birth to her first son, Honghui, she lost both energy and blood, and then her only son died, and she couldn't afford to get sick.Both the emperor and Concubine Qin felt sorry for her misery, so they did not entrust her with some important matters. In the past two days, Wu Yingyun almost ransacked the entire Xianfu Palace, but couldn't find anything that caused the little princess to be poisoned. All the palace people in the palace got angry.Since the little princess was poisoned, Xixiang moved back to her own Changchun Palace, and since then resumed the habit of eating and lodging in Changchun Palace when she was enfeoffed in the Jin Dynasty.The little princess was brought back to her own palace by Concubine Qin, and she took care of her temporarily. It is only reasonable for Xixiang to avoid things that Wu Yingyun has single-handedly handled.Just a few days in a row, the gate of the Changchun Palace was opened very early, and the maids inside always ran to the imperial garden before the dawn, wondering what they were looking for, and the next day, Xi Xiang personally Went to Xinzheku. Xinzheku is the place where low-ranking laborers are held. The inner courtyard of the Forbidden City, the cleaning of the palace walls, the transportation of rice flour, grain and oil to the palace gate, the carrying of water, the chopping of firewood, the making of sauce and vinegar, cake bait, tea soup and washing fruits... It is all the daily work of the handymen and maids inside, even managing lights, purchasing miscellaneous goods, undertaking sacrifices, guarding tombs, and herding cattle, sheep and pack horses, all within the scope of the scope. Lian Xin and Yu Shu were punished to Shangsanqi Xinzheku, which belonged to the internal management collar. Those who had criminal records and made mistakes were mostly enslaved slaves.As for the Xinzheku under the Five Banners, it is under the management of the government, and it is going to the prince's mansion, mausoleum, or palace to perform hard labor.Lian Xin and Yu Shu are usually responsible for some chores such as carrying firewood, darning, washing and dyeing here. Although they serve in hard labor, they are many times better than those criminals in the palace. When Xi Xiang led the people into Beiyuan, the maid inside was spraying straw paper with a small pot.Xi Xiang naturally recognized that thing, with a look of disgust floating on his face, he said in a bad voice: "Is there anyone named Niuhulu Lianxin here?" How can the servants not know this name, but they have never seen a concubine set foot here.Everyone stared straight at the gorgeous palace attire, and after a while, someone stood up and pointed to the direction of the courtyard wall, "The lotus heart that the noble lady is looking for is washing the hanging satin there." In the backyard of the second courtyard, there is a scent of acacia.Xi Xiang stepped in, and saw rows of pure white satin hanging in the wind, covering the entire courtyard in silver, as if the snow season had arrived ahead of schedule.Yu Shu was struggling to hang up the freshly washed cloth, Lian Xin tiptoed to help the shelf, wearing a gray coarse blouse, thin and old. "Tsk tsk, who did I think I saw? Isn't this the beautiful girl who was waiting to be selected in the Zhongcui Palace? I can't stay in the Jindian Mingtang, so why come here to wash clothes?" Hearing this, Yu Shu frowned and turned his head away, and saw the figure in the satin gauze dress behind him at a glance, and immediately widened his eyes, "It's you!" It has been heard for a long time that Xixiang passed the inspection, and was the only beautiful girl who was granted the title of Jin. Originally, they were all girls who were taught in Zhongcui Palace, but now, some are screened out of the palace, some are still waiting to be selected, some have won ranks, and some have been relegated.In the short period of three dynasties, it seems that thousands of distances have been separated, but the two of them are the most unlucky among them. "Why, can't you be polite?" Xi Xiang lifted her chin, with a noble enough smile on her face. Yushu curled her lips, knowing that at this moment, she was already an ant trampling under someone's feet. The so-called people had to bow their heads under the eaves.So he folded his hands in front of his chest, made a movement of restraining his body, followed Lian Xin on one side and saluted at the same time, saying: "Your maidservant waits to pay my respects to the nobleman, and the nobleman will be blessed and safe." The hanging satin flutters in the wind, bringing bursts of acacia aroma.Xi Xiang habitually raised her green fingers and covered her nose. Seeing this, Yushu held back a sneer, "Xinzheku is a humble and humble place. What's the point of coming here for a noble master like a humble man?" Xi Xiang glanced at Yushu indifferently, but his eyes passed her and fell directly on Lian Xin, "I came here specially to find her." If he hadn't been punished to enter Xinzheku, perhaps Niuhulu Lianxin, who was born in the Yellow Banner, had already passed the review and re-election.Although she doesn't have a proud family background and doesn't have enough power to rely on, but she is proficient in the three crafts of flowers, incense, and embroidery, which is enough to win the favor of the concubines in the harem, so it is unknown to use her strength to skyrocket. Xu Jia Xixiang is a girl from aristocratic background, so she naturally despises these small crafts.In her mind, some people are born to be masters, while others are destined to be slaves. Since they want to be masters, what do they do to learn the skills that slaves usually use?But at this moment, she wished that she had learned the same thing, if she was proficient, why use others' hands? "Mr. Qiangui, you want all the flowers planted in the palace?" Lian Xin couldn't help being surprised after hearing her words. If the flowers are sprouting in spring and summer, there are still many petals that can be picked, but now it is September, and the flowers are blooming everywhere, and the flowers are close to withering.The few ones with a long flowering period have withered and withered after a few cool rains.Now even in the Duixiu Mountain of the Royal Garden, it is difficult to find all kinds of flowers. Xi Xiang looked at her expectantly, "Can it be done?" Lian Xin frowned with some difficulty, "So when I made Kou Dan for Concubine Yun, I did store some of them, but I left them in the West Wing of Zhongcui Palace and didn't bring them here. I don't know if I still have them?" Xi Xiang also frowned, she had been away from Zhongcui Palace for a long time, and she never noticed these things. "If you can't find it, I will find another way. But if you can find it, can you make powders with the fragrance and color of flowers according to different varieties?" Probably because of his overly eager expression when he spoke, he accidentally revealed his shrewdness.Lian Xin looked at her quietly and didn't speak for a long while.Yushu coughed twice, and then put on a lukewarm expression, "Well, the things you left in Zhongcui Palace will be picked up by a maid later. If you get them, I will I hope you can do it within three days. If you do it well, I will definitely not treat you badly." If she wanted to find out something, she had to ask for her pollen. At this moment, Panchun rushed over after hearing the news, and seeing a noble concubine standing in the yard, he immediately put on a smiley expression, nodded and bowed, for fear that the etiquette was not perfect. Xi Xiang turned her eyes and glanced at Panchun, suddenly remembered something, and said coolly: "During these days, I want her to do something, so you can no longer arrange any work for her. If you let me know that it is because of you If her progress is delayed, I will never forgive you!" Pan Chun was startled, and looked at Lian Xin with an even more puzzled expression. At this moment, a voice sounded from the hanger on the other side, "I'm still here." Yu Shu tiptoed and shouted. Pan Chun gave her a hard look, and made her move to shut up quickly.Xindao is really an unruly person, she will suffer later if she offends such an arrogant and domineering concubine. Who knew that Xi Xiang didn't care about it, just rolled her eyes indecently, waved her hand and said: "Okay, okay, count her in too. Then from now on, you should also take care of the daily life of the two of them." As for the cost, I will raise it with the Ministry of Internal Affairs." After Xi Xiang finished speaking, he led a group of servants and maidservants away Shi Shiran. Pan Chun bowed down to see them off, and didn't turn around until the group of people had gone far away. Seeing Yu Shu and Lian Xin still standing by the washing bucket, he hurried up and snatched the wooden pestles from their hands, "Your concubine The empress has spoken, and you are still putting on airs, didn’t you tear down my platform and hit me in the face? Or are you deliberately trying to get me punished?” The hanging satin in the wooden barrel has been washed and just hung up to dry.Lian Xin looked at Pan Chun with some regret, and handed over the washed and unwashed cloths to the other maidservants, and all the morning's work was wasted. "Aunt Panchun, Mr. Qiangui and the two of us have a good relationship. If she punishes you, we will intercede for you!" Yushu said while pinching her waist with a smug smile on her face. Pan Chun glared at her, but still leaned over and asked in a low voice: "What is the relationship between you and that noble concubine?" At this moment Lian Xin had already stepped out of the courtyard with the hanging satin in her arms, and she wanted to send the washed ones to Xiao Jin so as not to spoil it. Yu Shu looked at a face that was close at hand, and said with a smile, "This one—" She stretched her tone, and purposely put it off, and when Pan Chun stretched out her ears, she shouted at the top of her voice, "It's the relationship between the two who were waiting for election in Zhongcui Palace!" Panchun was taken aback, and her ear drums were buzzing.He raised his hand and wanted to hit her, but he didn't dare to drop it seriously, he just touched his nose, thinking that what Yu Shu said was lying to ghosts.There are so many girls to be drafted, and a few of them have passed the review, and I don't see any of them who have won the Tao and will turn around and drag their companions.It's just that looking at it this way, the two little girls who came here are not small, and it's only been a short time, so many big people have come to visit.I just don't know if the emperor will come or not... Pan Chun raised her chin and thought happily, if a golden phoenix could fly out of Xin Zhe's library, then she would follow suit, but it would be different from then on. During the dinner, the servant girl in Changchun Palace really brought the things that Lian Xin left in Zhongcui Palace.Bottles and jars, the necks of which are tied with bright silk ribbons, are written with the names and taboos of various flowers: white peony, clove, rhododendron, angelica, green rose... Panchun is watching from one side, and can see them from a long distance away. There is a smell of fat and powder. There are also small lacquer boxes in the tray, all of which are finished or semi-finished face powder and coudan.Lian Xin caressed the exquisite carvings on it as if she had found a treasure, she never thought that Aunt Xiuchun would still keep these things, let alone that she would get them back after losing them. After that, Panchun ordered a few servants to clean out a small open house on the north side of Xiyuan, and reluctantly let them move in. From then on, they had their own independent housing estate, no longer sleeping in bunk beds, no longer sleeping. being disturbed.Seeing it, the other wrapped servants were envious and at the same time were amazed, thinking, these two came to Xinzhekuli leisurely. Lian Xin put the things on the table one by one, and counted them carefully, but there was never any shortage.Fortunately, they are still there, otherwise, if they want to agree to Xixiang's request, it is really beyond their power. "I don't know what the girl Xixiang wants so many petals for?" Yu Shu muttered as she fiddled with the dried flowers and plants. Lian Xin, who was across the table from her, carefully scooped out some kapok powder from the lacquer box, silently, but was actually thinking about this question.Because she always remembered Yunbin's hand injury, it was because she presented Yunbin with the newly made Kodan that caused Yunbin's skin to fester and develop spots, which eventually triggered a series of things. So far, she still doesn't know who actually poisoned it.Is it the show girl who was pushed out?The truth is definitely not that simple.At the beginning, it was just that Concubine Yun wanted to arrest someone to vent her anger, and then she wanted to calm things down.Otherwise, it would definitely not be easy to dig out a person buried so deep in the background, and who knows if another mechanism will be touched and another accident will happen again?Lian Xin stroked the porcelain bottle in her hand, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The three-day period will come in a flash. Lian Xin put the prepared petals and pollen in the lacquer boxes by category. There were so many varieties that she was dumbfounded by the waiting servants.Yushu was very happy, because after only three days of management, he got a separate housing estate. He didn't have to get up early, and he didn't have to work like a cow or a horse.Panchun was also very happy, because the nobleman rewarded a lot of money, which was more than the monthly regulations in the palace for several years. After the servants took the things back to Changchun Palace, Xixiang locked herself in the palace and did not come out for two whole days.Then finally on the morning of the third day, Xi Xiang pushed open the gate of the temple.Majesty Dan's servants have been waiting for a long time, and they were sent by Panchun to thank him.However, Xi Xiang didn't have the time to spare, so she waved her hand and asked the servants in the palace to answer them, while she ordered the palace servants to fetch water, and she wanted to take a bath and change clothes. The little princess has lived in Shoukang Palace for a few days, and after careful conditioning and treatment, her body is getting better gradually.Every day when Concubine Qin went to the Great Buddha Hall to chant scriptures and pay respects to the Buddha, she would let the old mother lead her to walk and play in the imperial garden. On this day, Concubine Qin was attending Zen in the Great Buddha Hall, and the old mother had already led the little princess to wait in the hallway, but she saw Xixiang hurriedly leading the maids, followed by a large group of doctors from the imperial pharmacy. official. When she got closer and explained the whole story, Concubine Qin immediately became furious, "Just because of your suspicion, it's just nonsense to let so many people follow you around!" Concubine Qin stood in the hallway a little bored, wondering why this newly promoted nobleman is so ignorant?It was originally a matter that still needs to be investigated, but she made the city full of wind and rain, and even asked all the medical officers to go to various palaces to find some flowers and plants.Before, the little princess stayed in the Xianfu Palace every day, and only went to the Imperial Garden at noon. The range of activities was very small, and the person who poisoned her was only within that range. How could it involve other palaces?It's good now, the news that was finally blocked was spread by her like this. "The food of the little princess is repeatedly inspected by the concubine, how could it be poisoned? The concubine has always wanted to know which link went wrong and was taken advantage of, so she wanted to find out the truth." Xi Xiang With red eyes, he lowered his head aggrievedly. Concubine Qin sighed, "Then did you find anything?" Xi Xiang hurriedly held her skirt, leaned back and said, "I would like to report to the concubine, the concubine has found out that the little princess's illness was not caused by accidental ingestion, but caused by inhaling a large amount of poisonous pollen for a long time, which induced poisoning." "Pollen?" Concubine Qin was taken aback when she heard the words, but didn't understand what she meant. But Xixiang nodded firmly, and said: "The concubine's face. The symptoms of the little princess's poisoning reminded the concubine that the aunt at home had a little brother, and that little brother had a high fever like the little princess, fell into a coma, and breathed heavily. It was very difficult. The doctor invited by the family at that time also said that he was poisoned by eating something by mistake, but in the end it was found that it was because of rose flowers." After Xi Xiang finished speaking, Concubine Qin didn't understand even more.For a while it was pollen, and for a while it was rose flower. Being involved together, it seems that it cannot be a conclusive reason.But there is one thing that she has suspected for a long time. The eldest girl was ill in Xianfu Palace, but since she came to Shoukang Palace, she has recovered immediately. The speed is so fast that the imperial doctors in charge of the treatment are surprised. Is it true? It's Yunbi... When Xi Xiang led Concubine Qin and her party to Xianfu Palace, it was just after noon, and the sun was still shining on the ground with some blazing heat, and it was still a little bit warm.The palace servants who were sweeping the palace also took refuge in the shade at this moment, and there were only two servants clustered together in the courtyard, digging pits and burying things in the courtyard with picks in their hands, occasionally looking around, a bit sneaky meaning. Seeing this, Xi Xiang stepped on the flag shoes on the bottom of the flowerpot, rushed over in three steps at a time, appeared behind them unexpectedly, and shouted: "What are you doing?" The maid in the palace was startled, and when she saw it was her, she quickly threw away the pick in her hand and bowed.At this moment, Concubine Qin also stepped forward. "The empress dowager is here, what kind of inappropriate activities are you guys doing, and you haven't really brought it on?" The two servants were so frightened by Xixiang's words that they turned pale, and they knelt down on the ground. Xi Xiang snorted coldly, pushed them away, stepped forward and kicked away the pile of soil just buried with her embroidered shoes, until she dug out all the soil in the pit, only to find that some dried manure was buried.Flowers and trees must be planted in each hall, and the soil and fertilization should be applied early so that the flowers buried in the coming year will grow well.It is reasonable for the slaves in charge of fertilizing to keep looking around for fear of a collision caused by the arrival of their master. Xi Xiang waved his hand in embarrassment, signaling them to go down first.Concubine Qin on one side frowned and couldn't help shaking her head, feeling more and more that this noble person was reckless and disregarded the general situation. "I don't know what there is in my sister's hall that my sister is so worried about. At noon, I came here to loosen the soil for my sister. If I knew this, why would my sister move back?" A beautiful female voice was behind everyone. Wu Yingyun appeared in the red-painted corridor of the main hall, as if he had been here for a long time.When the words fell to the ground, she first bowed to Concubine Qin, and then walked leisurely with dignified steps. When she came closer, she cast her gaze lightly on Xi Xiang's attire, and then laughed out loud, "Hey, what's wrong with the shoes on my sister's feet? Why are they stained with mud and still have a smell?" Wu Yingyun said Come on, pick up the towel and cover your nose seriously.
