Huang said loudly: "Where are the Queen and Concubine Yu? They are afraid that they will become suspicious. Once they find out that Wei Jingxuan died of poisoning, they will not let it go."
Xianyue chuckled and said: "Concubine Yi, please don't forget that now you and I are in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. As soon as Wei Jingxuan dies, she can be thrown into a mass grave immediately. So what if the Queen and Concubine Yu don't give up? They will be found outside the palace."
Or should we bring the body back and ask the emperor to review the matter?" Before Huang could speak, she shook her head and said
: "In the heart of the emperor, Wei Jingxuan is like a speck of dust. Even if he knew that she was harmed by someone, as long as there was no substantial evidence, he would not bother to pursue the matter; furthermore, how can the queen and Concubine Yu testify against me?
Tell your Majesty, do I hold a grudge against Wei Jingxuan because she plotted to kill Changle?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Huang calmed down and nodded: "Your Majesty is right. They dare not tell the truth. As long as Wei Jingxuan dies and her body is transported out of the Forbidden City, they will not be able to cause trouble."
Xianyue curled her lips and said to Zheng Jiu who was still standing aside: "Do as I say. As for where it is remote, you and Qi Kuan can go down and discuss it." After Zheng Jiu agreed, she said warmly: "Get this done.
I will never treat you badly."
Zheng Jiu was overjoyed, and quickly clapped his sleeves and knelt down and said, "I will do my best to handle this matter for my master." After that, he and Qi Kuan left the main hall together. After discussing where to start, he returned
When Li Fu saw him coming to the imperial tea room, he said: "Where have you been? Come over and help. Eunuch Xi is waiting there. If we miss it, you and I can't afford to suffer."
Seeing his anxious look, Zheng Jiu didn't dare to shirk, so he went to help as promised. After he finished his work, it was already dusk. After thinking about what Xianyue had said before, he went to where Wei Jingxuan was.
After entering the house, Wei Jingxuan was still lying on the bed, and the bowl of ginger tea beside her was empty. Zheng Jiu glanced at it, then walked over and called: "Jingxuan? Jingxuan, wake up?"
"
The person sleeping there with the quilt moved a little, then turned around and said feebly: "Jingxuan went out just now, what are you looking for her for?"
Hearing this voice, Zheng Jiu was shocked. He quickly opened the quilt so that he could see the face more carefully, and said in shock: "Lan Xiang? How could it be you?"
Lan Xiang coughed for a while and said: "I was infected with wind and cold yesterday. I thought it was nothing serious, but I didn't know that my body was getting weaker and weaker, and I kept coughing. I really couldn't hold it in. Drinking ginger tea was useless, so I had to go in and rest.
It took a while; but as soon as I lay down, I felt like I couldn’t get up.”
Seeing her similar symptoms to Wei Jingxuan, Zheng Jiu felt an ominous premonition in his heart and asked, "Where does the ginger tea you drink come from?"
"It's Jingxuan. She was worried that I would catch the cold, so she saved some ginger tea to keep me away from the cold. Alas, with the ginger tea here, the wind and cold should not be able to get in. Who knew I was so useless?" Lan Xiang, a simple-minded person
She only thought that she was weak and contracted the cold. She had no idea that she had been plotted by Wei Jingxuan, and it was those bowls of ginger tea that made her "sick".
Zheng Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "So, you drank all those bowls of ginger tea?"
Lan Xiang nodded and said with some fear: "I know I shouldn't...ahem...drink Jingxuan's ginger tea, but she kept it for me, so I can't refuse, so please...ahem...
…My father-in-law, please forgive me.”
Zheng Jiu stomped his feet and said angrily: "Who told you this? I ask you, where did Wei Jingxuan go?" He originally thought that Wei Jingxuan would only pour ginger tea even if she found something strange, but he didn't expect that she would actually take orchid incense.
Come to do the experiment. By now she must have understood that her illness is related to this ginger tea. As the master said, this person is very scheming.
Seeing Zheng Jiu's angry look, Lan Xiang didn't know what was going on, so she timidly said: "Jingxuan's illness is better, so she went out to do some work."
Hearing this, Zheng Jiu hurriedly ran out, stopped people and asked about Wei Jingxuan's whereabouts, but they all shook their heads and didn't know. When she asked Jin Yu, she had some impressions, saying that she had been hit by Wei Jingxuan just now, and she didn't say anything.
, lowered his head and walked out. He didn't know where he went now. Counting the time, it was almost an hour ago. If Li Fu hadn't stopped him at that time, he would have been able to stop Wei Jingxuan, which was only an hour away.
Zheng Jiu was angry. The most important thing at the moment was to find Wei Jingxuan. According to his guess, the most likely place Wei Jingxuan would go was Kunning Palace. He hurried to the place where he was discussing with Qi Kuan. Qi Kuan was still waiting.
There, when I saw him appearing, I quickly asked: "Why did it take so long? Where is Wei Jingxuan?"
Zheng Jiu told the story again and said anxiously: "Master, have you seen Wei Jingxuan?"
"No, I have been staying here and have never seen her coming. Moreover, this road is the only way to go to Kunning Palace. If she doesn't show up, it means she has not gone to Kunning Palace."
Zheng Jiu said in surprise: "If she didn't go to Kunning Palace, then where would she go?"
Qi Kuan couldn't think of it for a moment, so he could only say: "You stay here for a while, and I will tell the master about this."
Zheng Jiu nodded repeatedly, and then said nervously: "Master, if I let Wei Jingxuan go, will I be punished?"
Qi Kuan sighed, "I can't blame you for this. It should be fine. If the master really wants to punish you, I will also intercede for you. Don't worry too much."
Zheng Jiu felt much relieved after hearing this and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, master."
When Qi Kuan rushed to Yanxi Palace, Wei Jingxuan stumbled at the entrance of Xianfu Palace. From the imperial tea room to Xianfu Palace, she walked for a full hour because her legs were weak, and she was blown away by the cold wind.
tremble.
"Master, please let me in." Hearing the palace man's words, Wei Jingxuan nodded quickly and followed him in with her weak and stiff legs. She walked extremely slowly, causing the palace man to stop and wait several times, looking quite impatient.
.
After finally entering the Nuan Pavilion, Wei Jingxuan exhausted all her strength in the rush of heat and fell weakly to the ground. She didn't even have the strength to say hello.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Yu was surprised and said, "Why are you like this? What happened?"
Wei Jingxuan tried her best to gather some strength, kowtowed and begged: "Mother, you must save this slave."
"Save you?" Concubine Yu put down the embroidery shed in her hand and asked curiously: "Why do you ask me to save you for no reason? What's going on? Also, you look like you are sick, why?
Instead of resting, you want to come to this palace?"
"Someone wants to harm me and wants my life." With that said, Wei Jingxuan narrated the incident in general, and then said: "I was just a little suspicious at first, so I secretly gave Lan Xiang the ginger tea sent by Zheng Jiu every day.
Drink, I just drank it twice,
Lanxiang had symptoms similar to those of the slave. Today, she is even more weak and unable to do anything. On the contrary, the slave has recovered some strength after not drinking for a few days. Otherwise, the slave would not be able to come here. Your Majesty, your Majesty.
