These days, Concubine Yun would get sick after dinner, because Concubine Yun would test the bird's nest with a silver needle every day. After finding out that it was poisonous, she would pretend to be sick and play a show with the palace maids around her.
Of course, Concubine Jing did not know that Concubine Yun did not drink those poisonous bird's nests. The reason why she ordered Cai'er to have the imperial kitchen send some poisonous cakes was because she was worried that someone would care about Concubine Yun's illness.
Concubine Jing didn't pay attention at first, but the arrival of Murong Xi just now reminded her. Although Murong Xi is beautiful, she is not stupid. Not only did she not vent her anger on Concubine Yun, but she also discovered that there was something wrong with the gatekeeper at that time. Since she is so smart,
, you will naturally find problems from clues.
If His Majesty allows Murong Xi to visit Concubine Yun, Murong Xi will definitely hope that Concubine Yun will recover as soon as possible. As long as you understand Concubine Yun's eating habits, it is easy to find out that there is something wrong with that bowl of bird's nest.
Therefore, in order to disrupt the onset of Concubine Yun's illness, one cannot just poison the bird's nest. Therefore, Concubine Jing did not show a satisfied smile after hearing Cai'er's words.
"Remember, don't add any extra ingredients to the bird's nests you send over." Concubine Jing said coldly.
Only then did Cai'er realize that she had guessed the empress's thoughts wrongly, and she quickly whispered: "It's all my fault for being so self-righteous. I won't do it next time."
"Concubine Yun is suffering from madness. How come she only attacks after dinner? If Concubine Pluto notices, she will definitely doubt the bowl of bird's nest." Concubine Jing said.
"Slave, I will be more careful next time." Cai'er said.
imperial study room
"Xier, are you feeling better?" Emperor Nanzhao said.
"Thank you for your concern, Father, Xi'er is getting much better." Murong Xi said.
"I suddenly ran into the imperial study. Do you have anything to discuss?" Emperor Nanzhao asked.
"Father is really shrewd. He can't hide anything from him." Murong Xi said.
"There are no other people here, just say so." Emperor Nanzhao said.
"Just now, my daughter-in-law went to Jingyi Palace to have a few words with Concubine Jing, and then she suddenly mentioned Concubine Yun." Murong Xi said.
"What are your plans?" Emperor Nanzhao asked.
"Today, my daughter-in-law came to the imperial study and told her father that Concubine Yun Gui was wronged and that her daughter-in-law fainted had nothing to do with her. My daughter-in-law wanted to visit Concubine Yun, but she was refused by her father. The father also lost his temper at his daughter-in-law and put her
Drive him away." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"I understand." Emperor Nanzhao said.
After about a cup of tea, Emperor Nanzhao heard his furious roar, and even dropped the tea cup to the ground. Not long after, Murong Xi covered his lips and ran out of the imperial study sadly, accompanied by Ru Shi beside him.
She quickly returned to Huayang Palace...
This matter quickly spread throughout the Sixth Palace. Before Murong Xi could go back, Feng Mingye received the news. Before Murong Xi could go back, Feng Mingye had already arrived at the Imperial Study Room.
"Father, you know that Xi'er is pregnant, why are you still angry at her? You originally misunderstood Concubine Yun, why didn't you let people visit her?" Feng Mingye said.
Feng Mingye's voice was so loud that even the guards standing outside could hear it clearly. Because of Feng Mingye's questioning, Emperor Nanzhao became even more angry. He couldn't resist Feng Mingye and threw another tea bowl.
"How dare you, get out of here, I don't want to see you." Emperor Nanzhao said.
When Feng Mingye heard that Emperor Nanzhao lost his temper, he left the imperial study without thinking. The guards outside secretly wiped the sweat from their heads because it was the first time they saw Emperor Nanzhao lose his temper.
However, it happened that His Highness King Mo also came to the Imperial Study Room to ask for an audience with Emperor Nanzhao. Eunuch Nian persuaded him: "My lord, if there is nothing important, you should go in another day."
"What happened?" Ye Tianmo asked.
"Prince Pluto and Princess Pluto annoyed Your Majesty just now, and they are still angry now. To be honest with His Highness King Mo, His Majesty broke two teacups today. I have served Your Majesty for so many years, and I have never seen Your Majesty lose such a temper."
Eunuch Nian said.
"Why did the emperor's brother and his sister-in-law come here?" Ye Tianmo asked.
"It was to intercede for Concubine Yun Gui, but I didn't expect
Your Majesty lost such a temper." Eunuch Nian said.
"I see. Don't worry, father-in-law, I will not offend my father." Ye Tianmo said confidently.
"Then please wait a moment, Your Majesty, and I will go in and report." Eunuch Nian said.
After Eunuch Nian entered the imperial study, he said to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Mo is waiting outside now."
"Let him come in." Emperor Nanzhao said.
"yes."
After Ye Tianmo entered the imperial study, Emperor Nanzhao asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Ye Tianmo said: "My son is here because of Princess Yunmu's affairs."
"What? Are you also interceding for Concubine Yun?" Emperor Nanzhao said.
"No, I am not interceding on behalf of my mother and concubine. I believe that my mother and concubine have done something wrong and should be punished. My father cares about the old relationship with my mother and concubine and is already very lenient to my mother and concubine." His Highness King Mo said.
"Don't you blame me?" Emperor Nanzhao asked.
"My father has always been selfless. Since my mother-in-law has done something wrong, I really should punish my mother-in-law. It is my mother-in-law who feels wronged and can't think about it that makes her sick. It has nothing to do with my father. On the contrary, I feel that my father-in-law punishes my mother."
The concubine is too young." Ye Tianmo said.
"Why do you say that?" Emperor Nanzhao asked.
"I don't know what to say." Ye Tianmo said.
"Don't I know what you are thinking? You have resented Concubine Yun for many years. She only cared about Jue'er and neglected you. You want to take the opportunity to take revenge on her." Emperor Nanzhao said.
"Father, my son wouldn't do this?" Ye Tianmo said in panic.
"I was also involved in what happened back then. Do you even resent your father? After all, she raised you, and this is how you repay the kindness of raising you? You know that Aye and Xi'er failed to plead for Concubine Yun, so why did you do this?
When I came here, I just wanted to use my hand to deal with Concubine Yun." Emperor Nanzhao said.
"Father, this is not what I mean." Ye Tianmo said.
"I am so disappointed in you. I didn't expect that you would add insult to injury at this time. Do you think I don't understand what you are thinking? I will never let you get what you want. Someone, send King Mo back to Anyang Palace to think about his mistakes.
"You can't go even half a step outside Anyang Palace without an order." Emperor Nanzhao said.
"Yes." The guard at the door came in and said.
"Father, I have realized my mistake, and I will never dare to do it again," Ye Tianmo said.
"Drag him out quickly." Emperor Nanzhao said.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the guard said.
After Ye Tianmo was dragged away, Emperor Nanzhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Jingyi Palace
"Is everything you said true?" Concubine Jing asked.
"Returning to your Majesty, how could Xiaoluzi's words be false? I heard that His Majesty dropped two teacups before. His Highness King Mo was also unlucky. He had to go to see His Majesty at this time. In the end, he was dragged out by the guards and sent back.
Anyang Palace, and there are guards all at the entrance of Anyang Palace." The maid said.
The maid told Concubine Jing what Xiao Luzi had heard in detail. Concubine Jing raised the corners of her mouth after hearing this, waved her hand and said, "Keep watching and report as soon as there is any news."
"Yes, empress." the maid said.
"My dear, because Princess Pluto was reprimanded by His Majesty, Pluto went to the royal study to argue with His Majesty. This is reasonable. But why did His Highness King Mo break in and feel uncomfortable at this time? Your Majesty is angry, but it is probably Pluto who is in front of you.
Although he was furious, he was still not willing to punish him severely. King Mo appeared at this time, and His Majesty just took it out on him." Cai'er said.
"King Mo? Before Concubine Yun Gui gave birth to the third prince, His Majesty gave Concubine Yun to raise King Mo. Later, Concubine Yun was not kind to King Mo, so he naturally harbored a grudge. Now something happened to Concubine Yun
, he didn’t take the opportunity to add insult to injury? Unfortunately, he underestimated His Majesty’s feelings for Concubine Yun. In addition, he did so out of selfish motives. Who is Your Majesty, and what things can be hidden from him. If he hadn’t been impatient,
I will no longer be under house arrest in the palace." Concubine Jing said proudly.
"Your Majesty, our plan is going more smoothly than we imagined. Next, shall we deal with it?"
The third prince took action?" Cai'er said.
"He is so self-righteous that he is not worthy of me taking action." Concubine Jing said.
Cai'er didn't know what to do next. She looked at Concubine Jing and didn't dare to continue. Concubine Jing raised her eyes and looked at Cai'er before she said, "What do you think if the Third Prince knew that King Mo had proposed a heavy punishment to His Majesty?"
What will his mother-in-law do next?”
Cai'er immediately understood what Concubine Jing said and said, "Don't worry, Madam, Cai'er knows what to do."
Concubine Jing got the news that after Ye Tianjue was dragged away that day, she was placed under house arrest in the side hall of Jingyang Palace. If she heard the news about Ye Tianmo, she would definitely find a way to sneak out and talk to King Mo. Unfortunately, Jing
The imperial concubine did not know that Ye Tianjue actually lived in Huayang Palace and was not under house arrest by His Majesty at all.
And what happened in the Imperial Study Room today was all planned in advance.
Soon, word spread that King Mo had offended His Majesty and was placed under house arrest. However, Ye Tianjue did not sneak out of Jingyang Palace to settle the score with Ye Tianmo as Concubine Jing had hoped.
Liuli Palace
"Your Majesty, you didn't sleep well last night, and your complexion is a bit worse today." The palace maid said.
"The Lantern Festival is coming soon, and things will be over soon." Concubine Yun said.
"Your Majesty, you have suffered a lot these days," the palace maid said.
"What does this mean? I just didn't expect that I would be plotted by Concubine Jing." Concubine Yun said.
While the master and servant were talking, a plate of pastries was delivered from the royal kitchen.
"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this plate of pastries?" the palace maid said.
"If there is any problem, wouldn't you know if you try it with a silver needle?" said Concubine Yun.
They used silver needles to test for poison every day. Only the bowl of bird's nest was faulty, but they did not dare to eat a bite of the food sent from the imperial kitchen. Although they knew that the cakes were not poisonous, they were already used to using silver needles to test for poison.
.Because Murong Xi once told her that in order to avoid Concubine Jing suspecting that if the test revealed poison, she should just pretend to be sick after half an hour.
After the palace maid tested it with a silver needle, she found that the pastry had also been poisoned. She panicked and said to Concubine Yun: "My Lady, they didn't even let the pastry go."
Concubine Yun sneered and said, "It seems that Concubine Jing is still a little worried after seeing Xi'er."
"Your Majesty, do you still need to pretend to be sick?" the palace maid said.
"Get ready first, we will start in half an hour." Concubine Yun said.
"Concubine Jing is so abominable, she is so vicious. If there is poison in the bird's nest at night, you will have to deal with it again," the palace maid said.
"I don't think Concubine Jing is that stupid, otherwise she wouldn't have poisoned the cakes." Concubine Yun said.
