It would take at least a few days for what happened in the palace to spread outside the palace. As soon as Gu Xinian got the news about Ye Qinglan being poisoned by eating something, he immediately entered the palace and did not come back until a day later. When he arrived at the palace,
It was already dark, and Ye Qinglan fell asleep again without waking up. Gu Xinian took her directly back to Izuyunxuan to rest. Therefore, no one has figured out what happened until now.
Of course Mrs. Zheng was much more attentive than Gu Xiyu. As soon as she saw Ye Qinglan, she subconsciously frowned.
Although Ye Qinglan tried her best to hide it, the weakness between her eyebrows could not be hidden from others. Thinking of her hurriedly leaving the palace and returning home, Mrs. Zheng was filled with doubts: "Qinglan, did something happen to you in the palace?
Already?"
Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian exchanged a quick look, and then smiled slightly: "Some small things did happen, and we will discuss it with my grandmother later." It was okay to hide those bad things from Gu Xiyu, but she
He had no intention of hiding this from Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zheng.
Being poisoned in the palace is not a big deal or a small matter, and the real culprit behind the scenes has not yet surfaced. In any case, such a matter must be discussed with the elders.
Mrs. Zheng still wanted to ask more questions, but she saw Ye Qinglan glance at Gu Xiyu, and immediately understood, and put the matter aside. She led everyone to Shunyi Hall to pay respects to Mrs. Sun.
Such a long and short journey was very easy to walk in the past. But today I only walked half way, and my hands and feet were sore and exhausted. Gu Xinian had been paying attention to the changes in her face, and when he saw her frowning slightly, she shook hands without thinking.
He held her hand and asked in a low voice: "Can't you walk anymore?"
Ye Qinglan cheered up and responded with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Gu Xinian frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally endured it. She looked gentle on the outside, but she was actually the most assertive. Even if he advised her to go back and rest at this time, she would definitely not be happy...
In Shunyi Hall, Mrs. Sun was asking Zhang Yue in a low voice: "Has the Queen's condition really improved?"
Zhang Yue nodded with a smile: "Yes, my cousin-in-law stays with the Empress every day, and sees the Empress getting better day by day!" After a pause, he sighed with admiration: "This one
During the month, the Queen Mother didn’t even drink any more medicine. I don’t know what method my cousin-in-law used to cure the Queen Mother.”
Mrs. Sun couldn't think of the strangeness in this for a moment, and was so happy for such good news: "It's great! It's great! Wei Niang's illness is finally cured!" An excited voice continued.
The queen's maiden name was also spoken.
Zhang Yue also had a happy face: "This is indeed a good thing that is gratifying and congratulatory!"
Mrs. Sun was excited and happy for a moment, and then she remembered to ask: "I asked you to follow Mr. Ye every day. You should know what she did, right?"
"To be honest with grandma, I did observe carefully." Zhang Yue answered smoothly: "We were together during the day, and my cousin-in-law spoke and acted in a well-behaved manner, and there was nothing special about her. However, once we arrived,
At night, the Empress would summon her to the dormitory alone. I heard that the two of her would be alone every time. It would take at least more than an hour before she came out. I don't know exactly what she did in the room."
It seems that Ye Qinglan was treating Empress Gu during this night! Sun was thoughtful, and then asked after a while: "By the way, although the Empress's condition has improved, she is still not fully recovered.
Why did you two leave the palace and return home in such a hurry?"
Zhang Yue gave a wry smile and was about to reply when Mrs. Zheng and her party had already entered Shunyi Hall.
Now that the real master has arrived, Mrs. Sun stopped questioning Zhang Yue and asked Ye Qinglan directly: "The Queen's illness has not fully recovered yet. If you don't stay with me in the palace, why did you come back in such a hurry?"
Despite the initial hostility, the tone softened a bit. However, it was still not very pleasant.
Before Ye Qinglan could say anything, Gu Xinian's face darkened and he said calmly: "Something happened in the palace and it is inconvenient for Lan'er to stay any longer. It was me who insisted on taking Lan'er back to the palace. Grandma was worried about the queen's mood.
I can understand. However, before questioning, shouldn’t we also ask about the situation clearly?”
These words were so sharp that Sun was immediately choked up.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mrs. Zheng immediately smoothed things over with a smile: "Qinglan came back in such a hurry, let alone your grandmother, even I was murmuring in my heart. Just tell me what is going on. It's not inappropriate for the family to talk together.
In a roundabout way.”
Gu Xinian glanced at Gu Xiyu: "Yu'er, I have something important to discuss with my grandmother. You go next door for a while."
No matter how innocent she was, Gu Xiyu noticed that something was wrong, and asked in confusion: "What happened, why didn't you tell me?" An idea flashed in her mind, and she actually guessed part of the truth: "Did something happen to my sister-in-law?
Let’s do it!”
Gu Xinian said to him: "You don't have to worry about these things..."
"Brother, I am already sixteen years old, and I am no longer a six-year-old child." Gu Xiyu protested dissatisfied: "You all keep hoping that I will grow up and be more sensible, but you hide everything from me! If this goes on,
, I never want to grow up."
It was rare for Gu Xiyu to say such truth. Not to mention Gu Xinian, even Ye Qinglan was speechless.
Mrs. Sun was anxious to know what happened in the palace, and said a little impatiently: "Okay, if you have anything to do, just tell me! Yu'er is not young anymore, there is no need to hide it from her." After saying that, she looked towards
Ye Qinglan: "Mr. Ye, it's up to you."
Ye Qinglan's expression was very calm: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Just a few days ago, the Crown Princess led Concubine Lin and Concubine Shen into the palace. The day before yesterday, Concubine Lin made sweet mung bean soup. The Princess
We both ate some, and ended up being poisoned and unconscious all the time..." She told the story very concisely.
Gu Xinian had known about these things for a long time, but hearing them from Ye Qinglan's mouth was quite thrilling.
Although Sun didn't like Ye Qinglan, she couldn't help but feel slightly moved when she heard that Ye Qinglan had been poisoned. Mrs. Zheng even took a breath. Gu Xiyu's reaction was the most direct, with tears already welling up in her eyes.
Ye Qinglan glanced at Gu Xiyu with pity, and gently comforted her: "I didn't drink much at that time, and the poison wasn't too deep. I woke up after drinking a few doses of the decoction. Now, apart from being a little sore and weak, there is nothing serious."
.You don’t have to worry about me.”
Gu Xiyu's eyes were red: "If I had known something like this would happen, I would not have approved of you going to the palace." No matter how important Queen Gu's condition is, it cannot compare to Ye Qinglan's safety.
Mrs. Sun looked disapproving: "Yu'er, it's wrong for you to say this. No one would have expected such a thing to happen in the palace. Besides, isn't Mrs. Ye doing well now? I'm worried about the queen.
Madam, her body has not recovered yet, and she has to work hard to find out the real murderer. I don’t know if her body can bear it..."
This Mrs. Sun has never concealed her partiality. After Ye Qinglan came back with such great achievements, she didn't say a word of praise, nor did she care about her physical condition at the moment. What she was thinking about most was Empress Gu's condition.
Ye Qinglan was too lazy to vent her anger with Mrs. Sun, and responded casually: "Grandma, there is no need to worry. The Queen's illness has basically recovered. As long as she remains calm and rests peacefully, she should be fine."
Mrs. Sun was still not at ease: "In the palace, there is no time to be peaceful and peaceful. There are always bad things happening. The Queen is also a thoughtful person, and it will be bad if the condition recurs." Yue said.
The more worried she became, she actually said to Ye Qinglan: "You can recuperate in the mansion for a few days. When you feel better, you can then go to the palace to live for a while. When the Queen's illness is completely cured, you can return to the mansion..."
"Grandma," Gu Xinian coldly interrupted Sun: "The real culprit behind this poisoning incident has not been found out yet. What if Lan'er enters the palace and is plotted again? You only have the queen in your heart.
Given the condition, don’t we need to worry about Lan’er’s safety?”
Mrs. Sun was a little unhappy: "When did I say that I don't care about her safety? I just let her enter the palace to accompany the Queen. This poisoning must be because the precautions are not strict enough. With this lesson, Fengyidian
We must conduct a thorough investigation here. As long as we find those villains who are behind the scenes, nothing will happen..."
Gu Xinian suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "Grandma can think whatever she wants, but I will never let Lan'er enter the palace again."
"You..." Mrs. Sun was so angry that her face suddenly turned red: "You only pretend to be your own wife. You don't think about your aunt. She needs someone by her side the most right now.
When..."
Gu Xinian didn't even bother to say anything this time. He took Ye Qinglan's hand and said briefly: "Lan'er still has residual poison in her body and needs to rest. I will take her back to the yard right now. In the next few days
I just came over to pay my respects to my grandmother." After saying that, without even looking at Mrs. Sun, she turned around and left with Ye Qinglan.
Needless to say, Mrs. Sun was angry at being ignored like this. She was about to express her anger and scold her daughter-in-law, but she never thought that Mrs. Zheng also got up and left: "There are still a bunch of account books in Jing Xinyuan that I haven't read, so my daughter-in-law will leave first."
Already."
Mrs. Sun was angry and laughed: "Okay, okay, all of you, get out of here! Don't be an eyesore in front of me!"
If in the past, Mrs. Sun had been so angry, Mrs. Zheng would have inevitably apologized and carefully coaxed her. But today, she was really angry at Mr. Sun's words. She deliberately turned a blind eye and actually led Gu Xiyu away.
Mrs. Sun looked at Mrs. Zheng's back in disbelief, her chest felt tight with anger, and she held it in for a long time: "I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
