"It doesn't matter." Xia Qing stroked his thin cheek and said warmly: "But you have just recovered from a serious illness, so you still need to pay more attention to rest to avoid being exhausted again. Your illness really scared me to death.
I’m afraid something bad will happen.”
Yong Cang said guiltily: "It's all because Yong Cang was useless and contracted smallpox, making you worried."
"I'm fine, but I'm most worried about the Emperor and the Queen. During the days when you were most serious, they stayed with you all night long. Fortunately, you got better later, otherwise they would have to fall ill, so you
You have to take good care of your health, and you must not get sick again!" After saying that, she added: "I brought some nourishing food over, and asked the palace servants to stew some for you every day, so as to replenish your body to avoid falling off.
The root of the disease."
Yongxun nodded and said, "Well, thank you, Your Majesty." After saying this, he said with some regret, "It's really strange, how could a good person get smallpox? It's been a long time since anyone in the palace got this disease."
Xia Qing's heart moved and she said, "Do you remember if you encountered anything unusual before you got sick?"
"Abnormal?" Yongxun glanced at her strangely, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "It's the same as usual, there is no difference." After a pause, he added: "If there is any difference, it is
When I came back from the study the day before, I met my grandma and He Jing playing, and I played with her for a while."
"He Jing?" Xia Qing raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Does she often play around there on weekdays?"
"That's not true. In the image, I only met He Jing there twice." Seeing Xia Qing's look a bit solemn, Yong Xing asked doubtfully: "Empress, what's wrong?"
Xia Qing came back to her senses, chuckled and said: "It's nothing, I just want to ask." After that, she added: "Okay, you can rest, I will come see you another day."
After going out, Xianyue was still taking a nap, so she went straight to Changchun Palace without disturbing her. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hu was not in the palace. When asked, the palace officials did not know where she had gone. They only said that Mrs. Hu had received a letter.
So she hurried out, and Xia Qing had no choice but to wait in Changchun Palace.
At the same time, Mrs. Hu appeared in a place Xia Qing never expected - Yongshou Palace.
In fact, Wei Jingxuan was also surprised by Hu's sudden arrival. Although everyone seemed harmonious on the surface, they both knew the actual relationship. In addition, Hu's status was much higher than hers, so
I have never set foot in Yongshou Palace. Even when He Jing and others were born, they only ordered people to send congratulatory gifts.
Wei Jingxuan took the tea cup brought by the palace servants and personally offered it to Mrs. Hu, saying respectfully: "Your Majesty, please have some tea."
Mrs. Hu opened the lid of the tea, took a sip, nodded and said: "Yes, it is sweet on the tongue and fragrant on the teeth and cheeks. It is my favorite Liu'an melon slices. Unfortunately, this year's harvest is not good, and all the palaces can only get the ones from previous years."
I have already finished drinking half of it at my place, and I never expected that I would be able to drink it at your concubine’s place today.”
Wei Jingxuan said with a smile: "When the Liu'an Guapian was delivered, I was pregnant with the little princess and was not suitable for drinking tea, so I kept her there until now." Then she said to Qiaoyu: "Go and bring the Liu'an Guapian to our palace.
Take them all and send them to Changchun Palace."
Qiaoyu responded and was about to go down, but Mrs. Hu stopped her and said: "No need, a gentleman will not take away from others' favor. It is an unexpected blessing that I can have a drink at your concubine's place today."
Wei Jingxuan lowered her eyes and said, "Actually, my Majesty has always taken good care of me and my concubines over the years. A few tea leaves are not enough to repay my kindness, so why should you be so arrogant?"
Mrs. Hu looked at the pieces of Lu'an melon slices stacked at the bottom of the cup, and said coolly: "My concubine is really good at talking. No wonder she has been able to remain in favor after so many years."
"Your Majesty, you are too complimentary." Wei Jingxuan was coping while guessing Hu's purpose of coming. Unfortunately, Hu had been talking about tea since she came in and never mentioned anything else, leaving her unable to guess.
Mrs. Hu glanced at her and said: "The little Dezi next to me, I accidentally got a letter yesterday. I looked at it as if it was your concubine's handwriting, and I was afraid that I had read it wrong, so I came here today to ask your concubine.
Let's identify it." With these words, she took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Wei Jingxuan, who took it with some doubts. After opening the envelope, her face suddenly became extremely ugly, and her hands started to tremble.
It was almost impossible to hold the letter paper.
The next moment, she raised her head, stared at Mr. Hu who looked indifferent and said, "Why do you have this letter?"
Mao Gui was standing next to her, and he was also shocked. He clearly handed this letter to the Wei family with his own hands, how could it be in the hands of the Hu family? Is this...haunted?
Mrs. Hu fiddled with her armor and said coolly: "It doesn't matter why I have this letter. What matters is what is said in the letter." At this point, she spoke sharply and said word by word: "Someone
Those who want to make a big fuss out of the twelfth prince's smallpox case and make the former court uneasy and the harem uneasy. Those who have such ulterior motives and spread rumors to cause trouble should be punished!"
Wei Jingxuan's heart skipped a beat when she said what she said. Her hands finally couldn't bear the weight of the piece of paper and she let it fall to the ground. Madam Hu looked at all this coldly and said indifferently: "What, have you made it clear to me, concubine?"
Mao Gui hurriedly picked up the letter and said, "No, this is definitely not my master's handwriting. If I don't believe it, I can ask my master to compile it and compare it on the spot."
Mrs. Hu ignored him and just stared at Wei Jingxuan. For a long time, the latter slowly let out a breath and said to Mao Gui, who was full of anxiety: "Don't worry, the imperial concubine knows very well that this letter is not from this palace, otherwise at this moment
It's not in the Yongshou Palace." After saying that, she said to Mrs. Hu: "Mother, are you right?"
Mrs. Hu said coldly: "Although this letter was not written by you, it was intercepted from the Wei Mansion. Wei Jingxuan, you are so brave, you actually dare to make things out of nothing and slander the twelfth elder brother!"
At this time, Wei Jingxuan had calmed down, took the letter from Mao Gui, knelt down and said to Mrs. Hu: "I don't know whether this letter was intercepted from the Wei Mansion, but one thing is for sure.
It’s just that this letter was not written by my concubine. It is expected that someone deliberately framed my concubine. Please be careful and don’t fall into the villain’s scheme.”
Mrs. Hu snorted coldly and said: "Wei Jingxuan, you are really thoughtful. You even find someone to ghostwrite your letters to your family. Aren't you afraid that I will find the ghostwriter?"
"There is no such thing at all, so why should I be afraid of the queen looking for me?" At this point, she added: "But...does the queen really think that this is something out of thin air?"
Hu's eyelids twitched and she said coldly: "What do you mean?"
