"I have seen Wei Xiuyan with my own eyes. Her skin is like cream and she looks like a delicate flower. She doesn't look like someone in her thirties at all." Xia Qing's words made Wang even more jealous and angry. She snorted coldly: "It's nothing more than something unworthy of publicity.
It's just a beauty trick, if you have a bad heart, what's the use of being beautiful."
Xia Qing smiled and said: "Well, don't be angry. It's not worth getting so angry. Besides, no matter how much the emperor dotes on her, as you said, she will never be on the stage and cannot be compared with you.
.”
"I know that I just feel sorry for this child." Mrs. Wang stroked her abdomen, which was about to give birth, and choked with sobs: "If I had known that Emperor Ama didn't care, it would be better not to be reincarnated."
Xia Qing scolded: "Look at you, you are almost a mother-in-law, and you are still talking so freely. Don't think that the child has not been born yet. In fact, he can hear and understand everything. Maybe now
I’m crying in your belly.”
Mrs. Wang was stunned by what she said and said hesitantly: "This... probably not."
"No matter if it happens or not, don't say it again in the future." As she said this, she reached out and wiped the tears from the corner of Wang's eyes: "I know that you feel uncomfortable, but you have to look at everything, otherwise you will only be sad.
It will be me, and I always feel that something is wrong regarding Wei Xiuyan."
With her comfort, Mr. Wang felt better and said, "What's wrong?"
"Tell me, she has such a big garden to live in, and there are so many servants to wait on her. She is well-dressed and well-fed, surrounded by pearls and greenery. In terms of life, she even has a better life than us. Why should she run away?"
"This..." Mrs. Wang thought for a while and said disdainfully: "Perhaps she was a flirt and fell in love with one of the servants in the house, so they eloped together."
Xia Qing shook her head and said: "I asked your Majesty that there are many servants in Guangxiu Garden. Only their mother and son are missing. I heard that one servant died of poisoning."
This sentence aroused Wang's curiosity, "Poisoned? What's going on?"
"I don't know about this. The emperor is also investigating. Also, the emperor's laborious search is not like his usual style. There should be some inside information that we don't know. In addition..."
Wang's curiosity was aroused by her. When she saw that she had stopped talking, she asked, "What else have you heard about me?"
Xia Qing nodded and said: "In the past few days, the emperor has summoned Qin Tianjian and Guangchengzi Zhenren from Ziyun Temple more than once. Once, I went to deliver snacks to the emperor, and I vaguely heard them mentioning something about destiny and something.
Great calamity." After a pause, she added: "By the way, the name of the twelfth prince was also mentioned."
Mr. Wang asked doubtfully: "Twelve elder brother? Why are you mentioning him?"
"That's unknown." Seeing that the words were almost finished, Xia Qing stood up and said, "Okay, I won't disturb Concubine Dun to rest. You should relax a little and don't take everything to your heart. Do you understand?
"
"I understand, thank you so much." After sending Xia Qing off, Mrs. Wang immediately called Qiuyue and said, "Go to Qin Tian Prison and ask around to see if anyone knows anything."
When Qiuyue left Chonghua Palace in accordance with her instructions, a pair of eyes hidden in the dark followed quietly, and did not leave until she saw her entering Qintian Prison.
After listening to Xiao Liangzi's detailed account of what he saw outside Chonghua Palace, Xianyue said in surprise: "Qintian Prison?"
After getting Xiao Liangzi's affirmative answer, Xianyue stared silently. Zhichun mentioned that Xia Qing had sent someone to Qintian Prison. Now after seeing her, Wang sent someone to go again, as well as Hongli.
He summoned Tang Qizhang and Guangchengzi several times. Wait, Wende was arrested for collaborating with the enemy and treason.
When he was arrested, he mentioned Ziyun Temple in the court, saying that Hongli had killed many Taoists in Ziyun Temple. He also specifically pointed out that it happened to be when Yongxing got smallpox. Although Hong Zhou claimed that it was a frame-up, if this happened
Is everything true? Could it be that... the whole thing is related to Yong Cang?
In the end... what secrets are hidden by the Qintian Prison and Ziyun Temple that attract so many people?
Tang Qizhang... It seems that since Yongxuan's accident, this figure has often appeared in the Yangxin Hall. While he was thinking about it, Yongxuan walked in with his boots on and a birdcage in his hand. Inside was an unknown bird.
This bird has dark blue feathers, three green feathers on its head, and a pure white beak. It is very beautiful.
Yongzhen handed it to Xianyue like a treasure, and said, "Empress Huang, does it look good? I saw this and captured it when I was practicing archery."
"You look good, you..." Halfway through her words, Xianyue suddenly caught a glimpse of a scratch on Yong Cang's ear, and asked quickly: "What's going on?"
Yongxun touched the wound and said with a smile: "My son was accidentally scratched by a branch when he was hunting birds. It's just a minor injury. It doesn't matter. Queen Mother, would you like to give this bird to Hejia? On New Year's Eve."
Later, she said she wanted to raise a unique and beautiful bird."
Xianyue smiled and said, "Of course."
After receiving her consent, Yongxun said happily: "I will send it to Hejia right now."
Looking at Yongxun's leaving figure, Xianyue felt a little sad. Since Yongxuan passed away, Yongxun respects Xia Qing and loves Hejia even more than before. Every time there is something good, the first thing that comes to mind is
Hejia and the others didn't know that the aunt he respected had already regarded him as his son-killing enemy.
After calming down for a while, Xianyue took a breath and said: "Qi Kuan, go and send Tang Qizhang over. I have something to ask him."
Qi Kuan guessed a little bit of Xianyue's thoughts and whispered: "Master, I'm afraid Tang Jianzheng is unwilling to tell the truth, why not...send Xiao Liangzi to inquire first?"
Xianyue shook her head and said: "I have my own way of tricking him into telling the truth, you just go ahead."
Seeing what she said, Qi Kuan had no choice but to ask Tang Qizhang to come over. After he left, Xianyue called Jinping to whisper a few words. After the latter listened carefully, he nodded and said, "I will go down and make arrangements now."
Tang Qizhang heard Xiayue's summons and did not dare to neglect. He immediately followed Qi Kuan over. As soon as he stepped into Kunning Palace, he saw the palace people running around, looking panicked.
Qi Kuan saw something was wrong and quickly grabbed a palace attendant and asked, "What's going on?"
"Young ones don't know. Just now, someone rushed in to report the news, and then the master fainted. My aunt asked us to quickly call for the imperial doctor."
Hearing this, Qi Kuan quickly took Tang Qizhang into the Nuan Pavilion, where he saw Xiayue lying on the couch with her eyes closed, and Jin Ping inside, anxious.
Qi Kuan asked worriedly: "What happened? Why did the master suddenly faint?"
"Didn't Brother Twelve just say that he would send a bird to the third princess? But on the way, he saw another one with beautiful feathers. He insisted on catching it and giving it to the third princess, but accidentally fell it from a tree several feet high.
When I fell down, my mouth and nose were bleeding, and the situation was very bad.”
