"The emperor is fine, it's the master..." Qi Kuan sighed and said: "The master learned from the Song Dynasty physician that the emperor fainted because he took a large amount of aphrodisiac and kidney-tonifying medicine, so he punished Lan Guiren and asked her to tell the emperor what she had taken.
What medicine."
Yongxun nodded and said: "I was there when Huang'e Niang punished Lan Guiren, but later Huang'e Niang ordered me to come out first. In addition, I thought I had something to do, so I left Yangxin Hall. I don't know whether Lan Guiren
There is a confession.”
Qi Kuan shook his head and said: "Lan Guiren not only did not confess, but also broke into the inner palace and severely complained to the master in front of the emperor, saying that the master had wronged her. After the emperor heard this, he not only drove the master out of the Yangxin Hall, but also punished her.
The master is confined for three days and copies the Heart Sutra ten times."
Yongxun said in disbelief: "Huang Ama punished Lan Guiren because she cared about Huang Ama, and Huang Ama actually punished Huang Ama for this? Huang Ama... how could he be so confused!"
"Shh!" Qi Kuan hurriedly made a silent gesture, looked around, and whispered: "Brother Twelve, be careful, if someone listens to you, you will be in trouble for making trouble in front of the emperor." After a pause.
After a pause, he continued: "Actually, it's not the emperor's fault. He should have been harmed by drugs to behave like this. Didn't you notice that when the emperor just woke up, he looked at his master with a very strange look, as if he was
It’s like looking at an irrelevant person.”
When the word medicine was mentioned, Yongxun remembered the purpose of entering the palace today, and quickly took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve and said: "This is the medicine that Tao Shen healed. You can give it to the Queen for me. In addition..." Yongxun
Xing hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Doctor Tao said that using voodoo to harm people can easily injure the Yin Vulture. Please tell the Queen Mother not to use this snake vood unless necessary."
"I understand that I will tell the master exactly what the twelfth elder brother said." After putting away the medicine bottle handed over by Yong Cang, Qi Kuan said: "I don't know what the twelfth elder brother is investigating about the silk and satin village.
how's it going?"
Yongxun recounted what happened in the past two days in detail, and then said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely find those people, expose the conspiracy of Xia family and Lan Guiren, and prevent them from harming the emperor again."
Amma.”
"I believe that the twelfth elder brother can definitely do it." After watching Yong Cun leave, Qi Kuan also turned around and entered the Kunning Palace, presented the bottle of medicine to Xianyue who was copying Buddhist scriptures, and told Yong Cang's words
I reviewed it word for word.
After listening to Qi Kuan's words, Zhichun said: "Master, the art of poisonous insects is so insidious, why don't you just stop using it and let's think of another method."
Jin Ping nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Twelve has already figured out some of their origins. Maybe we will be able to find those who escaped in a few days. We have already waited for so long, and there is no point in waiting a few more days;
In addition, I have bribed a few people, so I expect to get the news soon."
After Xianyue wrote the last word, she put down her pen and said: "I can wait, but the emperor cannot wait any longer. Although Yongzhen has an idea, he has no clues. He is not sure whether he can wait for those people during the trip to Tongzhou;
Wu and others knew that this matter was related to their favor and even their lives.
This mouth is very strict, and it is not easy to pry it open; both sides need time, but what the emperor lacks most is time. If they continue to use medicine on the emperor, they don’t know what the consequences will be; so the fastest and the most
The easy way is to start with the Xia family!"
"But..." before Zhichun could continue, Xianyue raised her hand and said: "I know what you want to say, as long as it can bring peace to the emperor, not to mention hurting the Yin Eagle, it doesn't matter even if it takes my life!
"
Qi Kuan hesitated to speak. He had been with Xianyue for many years and he knew her temperament best. She was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Once she decided something, not even the emperor might be able to pull her back, let alone them.
"After midnight, the emperor's ban will be lifted. Qi Kuan, please go make arrangements and make arrangements tonight." Seeing that Xianyue's mind had been made up, Qi Kuan stopped persuading him and agreed, and went to make arrangements as instructed.
Xia Qing stood under the eaves, silently looking at the scorching sun in the sky, sweat dripping from her forehead drop by drop. Although autumn entered in July, the weather was still unbearably hot. In the past, when she was in Yonghe Palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been sending flowers since May.
Ice begins and ends in August
, wherever she is, it will be cool and pleasant without a trace of summer heat; in October, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send fine silver charcoal, which will be burned day and night in charcoal basins, despite the cold wind outside.
, the house is always warm as spring.
It's just that now she is in the cold palace. No matter how hot or cold the weather is, no one will send ice or charcoal. She can only grit her teeth and get through it. However, she firmly believes that she will not stay in the cold palace for too long; she knows that Wu and others are not willing to give up.
Under her control, but their lifeline is in her own hands. No matter how unwilling she is, she can only obey orders. In half a year... I believe that in less than half a year, she can leave this dilapidated and cold palace.
"It's time to eat." This voice pulled Xia out of her deep thoughts. Before she knew it, it was already sunset, but because of the long day, the sky still looked bright.
The same meal as usual was placed on the paint-stained tray. Xia Qing ate her dinner silently, while occasionally glancing at the palace servant who was sweeping the floor in the courtyard after delivering the meal. This man's name was Liu Cheng, who was from
The one transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Speaking of which, Liu Cheng has been in the cold palace for some time. Logically speaking, he should take action, but there has been no movement these days. Even she can't tell what this person is planning. But it is strange, Xia Qing
But there is no slacking off. Everything is tested with a silver needle before being put into the mouth to ensure that it is non-toxic.
After finishing the last bite of the meal, she pushed the empty dishes. When Liu Cheng heard the sound, he put down his broom and walked over to collect the dishes. He was as quiet as ever, without saying a word.
The days in the cold palace were extremely monotonous and lonely, with nothing but eating and sleeping. Many of the concubines who were demoted here became insane and crazy because they could not bear this endless loneliness.
When the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the horizon, Xia Qing looked around with some confusion. It was strange that after dinner on weekdays, those crazy useless concubines would come out to make trouble for a long time, and sometimes they would even pester her.
He kept holding on to her, but today it was extremely peaceful, with no sound at all. Where had everyone gone?
With this question in mind, Xia Qing came to the place where those people lived and found that all of them, without exception, were lying on the bed without any movement.
Go to bed so early?
No, since she came to this cold palace, these people have almost gone to bed at Xu time every day, and now they all go to bed at You time. It is really unreasonable.
