"Okay, go back with the silver charcoal quickly. If Xia Guiren asks, just say you got it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Don't mention me. After all..." She sighed and said: "I helped
Let the master deal with her, do you understand?"
Cuizhu said eagerly: "But that is not your wish. Wei Changzai forced you. As long as you speak clearly, I believe Xia Guiren will not..."
Xianghan shook his head and interrupted her: "Cui Zhu, things are not as simple as you think. Many times, if you make a wrong step, you can't look back; even if you didn't mean to do it wrong." She patted her gently.
Cuizhu's cheek said: "Anyway, just do as I say, okay?"
Cuizhu reluctantly agreed, took the silver charcoal and left. She did not see Xianghan's sinister smile behind her, but Xianghan also did not see Qi Kuan standing in the distance; some people always thought that they
It was the oriole, but little did he know that he was the mantis targeted by the oriole.
After Cuizhu returned to Yihuaju, she took the silver charcoal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs as she was told, and then took the charcoal into the warehouse.
Just when Cuizhu was about to go down, a palace official came to report that Xianyue was here. Xia Qing was very surprised when she heard this. Since that time, Xianyue had never been to Yihuaju again. She didn't know why she came here again today.
.
Strangely enough, the due etiquette was indispensable. She was about to go out to greet him, but Xianyue had already walked in. She held Su Qiu's hand and bent down to salute.
"Get up." After signaling her to get up, Xianyue said warmly: "Is everything okay these days?"
"I'm sorry for your concern, my concubine and the children are fine." Xia Qing responded respectfully but distantly, and then said, "I wonder what your orders are for me here?"
Xianyue smiled slightly, sat down in the chair, and said, "If you have nothing to do, can't you come to Xia Guiren's place for a walk?"
Xia Qing smiled faintly and said: "How could it be possible? I just think that my queen has to take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. If I don't have something important, how can I have time to come here?"
Xianyue smiled and said: "Counting the days, A Luo should have arrived in Taiyuan Mansion." Speaking of this, she said with emotion: "After more than twenty years, she finally fulfilled her wish."
Xia Qing's expression turned cold and she said coldly: "It's a pity that mother is no longer here."
Xianyue looked at her swollen belly and said, "Looking at you, it seems you haven't changed your mind yet."
Feeling her gaze, Xia Qing subconsciously touched her abdomen and said, "I have told my empress a long time ago that everything I do is to avenge my family, and this will never change."
Xianyue saw the subtle changes in expression on her face and said with a half-smile, "Really?"
For some reason, Xia Yue's gaze made Xia Qing feel very uncomfortable. She turned away and said, "Of course, your Majesty should know this very well."
Xianyue didn't say anything, turned to Cuizhu who was standing by the door and said, "Have you gone to get silver charcoal in the past two days?"
Cuizhu looked at Xianyue strangely, nodded and said, "Yes, I went to the House of Internal Affairs to get some silver charcoal as ordered by my master."
"You took silver charcoal twice, but the record of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was only once. Why is that?" Xia Yue's words surprised Xia Qing, and blurted out: "Is there such a thing?" Everything entering and leaving the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be checked.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs was very strict about recording it in the book, and there were almost no mistakes or omissions. That's why Xia Qing was so surprised when she heard Xianyue's words.
Xianyue ignored her and said to Cuizhu again: "Also, you have met Xianghan before. Yintan was also given to you by her, right?"
Cuizhu said doubtfully: "Yes, I have seen Sister Xianghan before, but the empress..." She said cautiously: "How do you know?" She was extremely surprised, she had never seen Xianyue these days, why the latter?
He seemed to know everything about her.
Xianyue didn't say anything, but Xia Qing frowned and said, "Why did she give you silver charcoal? Also, why didn't you tell me about this?"
Cuizhu heard the displeasure in her words and said quickly: "I didn't mean to hide anything from my master. It's just that Sister Xianghan said she was afraid that my master would misunderstand, so she didn't mention it. Yesterday..."
Xianyue interrupted her and said: "My lord Xia, Xianghan is someone who is often around Wei. Don't you think it's strange to give Cuizhu silver charcoal for no reason?"
Cuizhu said anxiously: "I am reporting to the Imperial Concubine, not for no reason, but..."
Xianyue raised her hand and said: "I know what I know, so you don't need to say anything."
"Yes." After Cuizhu agreed, she felt a little weird. She didn't know if it was her own illusion. She always felt that Xianyue didn't want her to say more. She interrupted her twice in the middle of her words.
After stopping Cuizhu's words, Xianyue stood up and walked to the burning charcoal basin, took the iron pliers lying aside and stirred the red-hot silver charcoal, saying: "If I am not wrong,
Xianghan had already tampered with the silver charcoal before handing it over to Cuizhu, and as for her purpose, it was naturally the dragon fetus in Xia Guiren's belly."
Xia Qing was suddenly startled, stood up and said, "She wants to harm my child?"
"If not, why did she let Xianghan bring the silver charcoal and hide it from you? If you want her life, she doesn't want the life of the dragon fetus in your belly. The plan failed last time, so this time she used Cui
Bamboo is here to harm you."
Xianyue's words startled Cuizhu, and she waved her hands in a panic: "No, this slave did not harm the master, and Wei Changzai did not instruct the slave. Please be clear to the imperial concubine."
Su Qiu pointed at Cuizhu and said angrily: "Since there is no such thing, why did you take those silver charcoal? It turns out that everything was a conspiracy between you and Wei Changzai. Fortunately, the master and I helped you talk like that. You are too much."
That’s despicable.”
Cuizhu said eagerly: "No, I am not acting with Wei Chang. She really wants my life. Master treats me so well, how could I harm her? You...you believe me, I really can't do anything."
Never done it.”
Xianyue said in a cool voice: "I eagerly sent you these silver charcoal. I think I moved some hands and feet in the silver charcoal that could cause you to have a miscarriage."
Su Qiu said in a panic: "Because the weather has been cold in the past two days, the master has almost been using the charcoal basin from yesterday to now. If it is Yi, wouldn't the master's dragon fetus be in danger?"
While they were talking, Xia Qing's face was as pale as paper, her hand stroking her abdomen trembled slightly, and she said softly: "Yin Tan has no direct connection with me, how could he harm my child? It's impossible.
"
"There is nothing impossible. Xia Guiren should have heard of the name of musk. As long as musk is added to silver charcoal, once it is burned, the musk will be emitted unconsciously and then be inhaled by you.
, harming the fetus.”
Her words made Xia Qing's face become even more ugly, and she blurted out: "Go and ask the imperial doctor to come. Immediately go and ask the imperial doctor Zhou...and the imperial doctor Fang to come."
