Mingyu nodded and said, "With your words, I feel relieved. We will stay here and have lunch together today. Jingxuan, please go to the small kitchen to make arrangements."
Xianyue seemed to have just seen Wei Jingxuan, and said in surprise: "Hey, isn't she waiting in the imperial tea room? When did she return to the empress?"
"Since Jingxuan went to the Royal Tea Room, I have used several maids, but none of them were as satisfactory as Jing Xuan's. It happened that Jing Xuan encountered something in the Royal Tea Room and it was not suitable to stay any longer, so I asked the Emperor to ask her
I want it back. Why, does the imperial concubine have any objections?" In the last sentence, although Mingyu's tone was still gentle, there was a hint of provocation.
Xianyue lowered her head and smiled and said: "How could it be possible? I was just curious for a moment, so I just asked casually. With Aunt Wei waiting for the empress, I and the others can rest assured. Speaking of which, what happened to Aunt Wei in the imperial tea room?
It’s so serious that it’s not appropriate to stay any longer.”
Mingyu glanced at Wei Jingxuan, who nodded slightly, knelt down towards Xianyue and said: "Returning to the imperial concubine, there is a young eunuch in the imperial tea room who wants the slave's life."
Huang said in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"
Mingyu gently stroked her sleeves and said: "Concubine Yi also felt terrible after hearing this, didn't she? When I first heard about it, I thought Jingxuan was joking. How could there be such a sensational thing in the bright world, but after the imperial doctor
Diagnosing the pulse shows that Jingxuan is indeed suffering from a chronic poison." At this point, she turned her gaze to Xianyue and said coldly: "Isn't your concubine nothing to say?"
Xianyue stood up and said, "It's my concubine's fault that something like this happened. I don't know the name of that little eunuch. I will definitely investigate it carefully after I go back."
Mingyu sneered and said: "His name is Zheng Jiu. He once worked as a servant in the imperial concubine's palace. Does the imperial concubine have any impression of him?"
"Zheng Jiu..." Xianyue murmured and repeated it several times, shaking her head and saying: "I think she was serving in the outer hall. I have no impression of it, but I can rest assured, I will get to the bottom of this matter. But I
I'm curious about something. I wonder who Aunt Wei has such a deep hatred with, and she actually wants to poison him?"
"This slave has always done his own thing and never made trouble for others. Moreover, he is not familiar with Zheng Jiu. I really don't know why he would harm this slave like this." As soon as Wei Jingxuan finished speaking, Mingyu took over and said, "Or maybe...
...Someone bribed Zheng Jiu, concubine, do you think so?"
Faced with Mingyu's words, Xianyue lowered her eyes and said: "This will only be known after careful investigation. Before this matter is found out, Aunt Wei must be more careful, lest she not pay attention and be plotted by others.
.”
Wei Jingxuan glanced at Xianyue quickly and said, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for reminding me. I am with my master now. Those people must not be able to find a chance to attack."
Looking at Xianyue's face, Mingyu wanted to tear her alive to relieve her hatred. She knew clearly that everything was her fault, but because there was no evidence, she had to pretend not to know and say some extremely hypocritical things.
Nightmare! This woman is the biggest nightmare in her life!
After coming out of Kunning Palace, Huang hesitated several times, but finally couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, how much do you know about Zheng Jiu?"
Xianyue glanced at the palace people kneeling on both sides. After passing these people, she slowly uttered two words, "All."
Although Mrs. Huang had already made some guesses, she was still a little surprised when she heard Xiayue admit it herself. She lowered her voice and said, "So, it was your Majesty who did this?"
Xianyue nodded slightly and said: "Wei Jingxuan is a scourge and one of the murderers who killed Changle. It's a pity that Zheng Jiu fell short and failed to kill her."
Mrs. Huang bit her lips lightly and said: "Now that she is by the Queen's side, it will be even harder to move her. But fortunately... the Queen is worried about the Queen. Even if she guesses that Zheng Jiu is the Queen's person, she would not dare to do anything.
action."
The cold wind blew from a distance, stirring the corners of their clothes and the tassels in their hair, and became entangled with dead leaves from nowhere. Xianyue stared at the unknown distance and said coldly: "She doesn't
dare!"
"But she won't give up, and..." Huang hesitated for a moment and said, "Having Wei Jingxuan make suggestions next to her, to be honest, is very detrimental to us."
Xianyue stroked the crimson tassel on her cheek and said coldly: "No matter how unfavorable it is, we have to continue. There is only one way before me."
Huang sighed: "If the queen could see things more clearly, today's situation would not have happened."
Before the change of Chang Le, Xianyue would have felt a little regretful or helpless, but now, there was nothing left, and she could only say: "It doesn't matter, no one can change God's will. I and the Queen... are not
Her death means my death."
Huang said: "Your Majesty has never deliberately harmed anyone. I believe that God will protect you. As for the Queen...she is acting in the opposite direction, and sooner or later she will harm others and herself."
Xianyue smiled coldly, it really didn't matter, even if God intended to protect Mingyu and the others, she would still go against heaven. No one can stop her from taking revenge, not even God!
The next day, Mingyu officially took charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Many people who were jealous of Xianyue's favor took pleasure in his misfortune, thinking that this was a precursor to Xianyue's fall from favor.
Since that day, Yanxi Palace, which was usually bustling with people, has become much deserted. People who usually come to pay their respects have now gone to Kunning Palace. Except for Concubine Yi, only the Hu family often comes here.
On this day, Mr. Hu came over again. After chatting for a while, Xianyue said, "Why doesn't Mr. Hu go to Kunning Palace?"
Mrs. Hu held the hand warmer and said with a chuckle: "Many people go to Kunning Palace every day, and I don't want to leave alone my concubine. It's better to stay here quietly and say a few words to the empress."
Xianyue smiled and said nothing. After the palace servants brought tea, she said: "Try this Dahongpao. It is said to be picked from those mother trees. It is far more mellow and smooth than the ones from the descendant trees."
.”
Mrs. Hu looked at the tea at her hand in surprise. There was a lot of Dahongpao in the palace, but most of it was tea collected from descendants' trees. Those six mother trees, even in the best year and with the best rain, could only get a pound of tea.
number, and this year really cannot be said to be a good year
, except for Yangxin Palace and Cining Palace, she has never heard of it in other places. She did not expect that Xianyue also has it here. It must have been rewarded by Hongli. From this point of view, there are rumors in the palace that Xianyue is about to fall out of favor.
It's totally unreasonable, maybe it's just the opposite.
Xianyue didn't see Mrs. Hu make any move for a long time, and said in surprise: "What's the matter, don't you like drinking Dahongpao?"
Mrs. Hu came back to her senses and said quickly: "Of course not, I just didn't expect to be able to drink tea from the Dahongpao mother tree here today." With that said, she handed the hand warmer to the palace attendant and carried it herself.
I took up the tea cup and as soon as I opened the lid,
I smelled an elegant aroma with the smell of fireworks. After a closer sniff, there were bursts of flowers and fruits under the smell of fireworks. It was really strange. The red tea was sweet and smooth in the mouth, making you want to stop drinking.
