Jin stared at Liu Mei in surprise and said, "What are you saying, it wasn't you? Who is that?"
Under Jin's questioning, Liu Mei eloquently said: "Ever since New Year's Eve, after receiving the master's order, the slave has been thinking about how to remove the dragon fetus in Yu's belly, but no matter how you think about it, there are some risks. If it involves the
Master, this slave really deserves death. So after thinking for a long time, I asked this slave to think of a way to borrow a knife."
Ying He said in shock: "A borrowed knife to kill someone?"
Liu Mei nodded and said: "Yes, only in this way, no matter what happens, can we truly stay out of the matter and not be implicated."
Jin didn't say anything, only said: "Whose hand did you borrow?"
"I only know that one of the two is Qing and Wan. I don't know who it is." After saying that, Liu Mei explained the events of that day in detail, and then said: "Because I don't know whether it is effective or not."
, so I didn’t tell the master, and I asked the master to forgive me.
Hearing this, Mrs. Jin showed a smile and said: "You can think of provoking their jealousy and fear of Yubi and killing people with a borrowed knife. It's a pity that these two people didn't have enough strategy and calculation to let Yubi escape.
Get through this."
"Master, now that Concubine Yu and her son are fine, what should we do? If we have to do it ourselves, I really don't have enough confidence to stay out of it."
"Now that something happened just now, everyone in Xianfu Palace must be vigilant. The slightest disturbance will alert them." Jin thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "That's all, let's put this matter aside for now."
Ying He said in surprise: "Master, then you will let concubine Yu give birth to a dragon fetus? Regardless of male or female, according to the palace customs, the emperor will definitely make her a concubine. If you are lucky and give birth to a prince, plus
With the auspiciousness of the white fish piggybacking on me before, I might be able to ascend to the imperial concubine one day and stand side by side with the imperial concubine Xian. What should I do?"
Jin smiled coldly and said: "I only said to put it aside for now, but did you say to let it go? In all dynasties, have there been many children who were born safely but died in infancy?"
Hearing this, Ying He and Liu Mei understood and quickly bowed and agreed.
At dawn the next day, after Mrs. Huang was waiting for Hongli to attend the morning court, she remembered what Hongli said last night and felt uneasy. After thinking for a long time, she ordered Jinping to prepare a carriage to go to Yanxi Palace.
When they got there, Xianyue hadn't gotten up yet. She waited under the eaves for a stick of incense before she saw Xianyue appear. The latter smiled and said, "Why did Concubine Yi come here so early today?"
Mrs. Huang lowered her head and said, "I remembered something and wanted to come over and ask my Majesty. I don't want to disturb your dream, so I would like to ask your forgiveness."
"It's okay, I don't know what makes Concubine Yi so anxious." While Xianyue was talking, Zhichun came in to announce that breakfast had been prepared.
Xianyue took Huang's hand and said, "Let's go, let's talk while eating."
When they arrived at the side hall, Mrs. Huang took the lily porridge from Zhichun and said: "I know that my concubine was accompanied by the emperor to see Concubine Yu yesterday. May I ask my concubine, have you ever mentioned me?"
Xianyue said in surprise: "No, why did Concubine Yi ask that?"
Huang said nervously: "The emperor came to see me last night and said to himself, 'I really shouldn't be suspicious of you.' I thought about it and the only one who could explain this sentence was Yue Concubine yesterday.
It’s over.”
Xianyue frowned and said, "You mean...the emperor is suspicious of what happened yesterday and it was you who did it?"
Huang nodded and said, "Yes, when the emperor said this, he should have dispelled the suspicion, but the suspicion did arise, so I came here specifically to ask."
"I remember it very clearly. It is true that I didn't mention it. However, I went to arrange things and the emperor was alone with Concubine Yu. I don't know what was said during this time."
Huang gritted her teeth slightly and said: "I know that it must be Concubine Yu who made a suggestion to the emperor, saying that I suspected it was done by me. After all, my Chonghua Palace is closest to Linyuan Pool, and it is the most convenient to attack. Fortunately, I last night
The answer is quite appropriate, otherwise I don’t know what would have happened.”
"Concubine Yu..." Xianyue scooped up the lily porridge in the bowl and sneered: "She has a problem with you, and the Chonghua Palace is so close to there, so naturally everything will be blamed on you. Fortunately, the emperor is aware of everything.
Otherwise, this matter would be really troublesome."
After Mrs. Huang nodded, she added, "My Lady, do you know who did this?"
"I don't have a clue for the moment, but Keliete made an exception and was granted the title before she gave birth to a dragon fetus. Coupled with the auspicious omen of the White Fish Tuozi, there are not a few people in the palace who do not want her to give birth to this child.
.”
Mrs. Huang was silent for a moment and said: "To put it bluntly, with Yu's temperament and heart, even the concubine would not want her child to be born."
Xianyue scooped up a mouthful of porridge, let it slowly swallow from her throat, and said slowly: "I believe that good and evil in the world will eventually be rewarded. If you can avoid it for a while, you can't avoid it for the rest of your life. Concubine Yi, don't worry too much. Use
Come and have dinner, I will take you to visit Concubine Yu later."
Huang hesitated and said: "But she thought that I wanted to harm her. Is it appropriate to go there now...?"
Xianyue lowered her eyes and smiled and said: "You have never done this kind of thing, what is inappropriate about it? If you don't go, it will make people think you are guilty. In addition... I also want to ask Concubine Yu why you want to hide it.
Stay with me and talk to the emperor about your affairs alone."
Seeing what she said, Mrs. Huang stopped talking. After having breakfast, she followed Xianyue to Xianfu Palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs moved very quickly. In just one day, many palace servants with quick hands and feet had been dispatched.
come over.
Zhichun looked at it carefully and said softly: "Master, there are actually more people in the palace here than in our palace. This is obviously over the limit."
When Xianyue heard what she said, she smiled and said: "Concubine Yu just had an accident yesterday, so naturally more people need to take care of her. This is also what the emperor agreed to do."
While they were talking, Dongmei had already walked out quickly, bowed to Xianyue and Mrs. Huang, and said: "Two ladies, my master has limited mobility and cannot come out to greet me. I hope you will forgive me."
Xianyue said warmly: "It doesn't matter, is your master feeling better?"
Dongmei said respectfully: "Replying to the imperial concubine, the master has taken the medicine several times, and the fetal movement is not so severe and the pain is less, but Dr. Zhou said that he still has to stay in bed and rest, and he must not be careless."
"If something like this happens, you have to be careful." With that said, they followed Dongmei inside. Concubine Yu, who was half leaning on the bedside, saw the two people coming in. She quickly stood up and said, "I have seen the noble concubine.
, I have met Concubine Yi."
Xianyue said with concern: "Concubine Yu, don't be too polite. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself. By the way, can the people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs still be able to help?"
