Within a quarter of an hour, Xiao Hai, the eunuch of Fengyi Palace, appeared in Huining Palace. After seeing Yun Jingchu, he said, "The Empress has invited Concubine Hui to have a gathering in the Imperial Garden."
"I got it, I'll report it to you right away." Yun Jingchu couldn't see anything strange at first and nodded.
"And Sister Lao Jingchu." After Xiao Hai finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of Huining Palace.
Yun Jingchu looked at the disappearing figure with a smile on her lips. She knew what Situ Yan was thinking without having to think about it. There were many people in the Imperial Garden. If Concubine Hui got a rash there, she would be afraid that the palace
Immediately, rumors will fly all over the sky. I believe that the imperial doctor has been bribed to say that Concubine Hui may be suffering from a bad disease and can easily infect others. Let alone being favored again in the future, I am afraid she will even be locked up in the cold palace. Thinking of this,
At first, Yun Jing felt a chill in her heart. Now that she thought about it, Yu Wenrui had to gouge out her eyes, so she could only rely on her hearing and smell. After her rebirth, her sense of smell and hearing became more and more sensitive.
The palace walls are majestic and majestic, and the red glazed tiles reflect the sunlight brightly. Pavilions, small bridges and flowing water can be seen everywhere in the palace. The pleasant spring scenery is like a fairyland on earth!
In the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, several concubines saw Situ Yan's arrival and stood up one after another, saying, "I would like to pay my regards to the Queen."
Situ Yan waved her hands and motioned for them to sit down. She glanced at them with her beautiful eyes. She glanced at Concubine De, who was wearing a bright red dress. She was sober and elegant, and she was charming. As for Concubine Xian, although she was also carefully dressed, her face looked haggard.
It's not covered up at all, and you can't see the past style at all.
Situ Yan finally cast her eyes on Concubine Hui, who was sitting on the far left. Today, she was wearing a plum blossom blouse and a white pleated skirt. She had a bun with a high bun and a little phoenix inserted at an angle, swaying as she moved her head.
The movements of her head were slightly swaying, and her whole body was as elegant and fresh as a lotus plant that had just bloomed in the lotus pond in the morning.
After taking a look at Concubine Hui's fair face, a smile appeared on her lips. Situ Yan looked away, thinking to herself, but there will be something good to watch later.
"I heard that the Queen is unwell. Are you feeling better now?" Concubine De Yingying said, as polite as ever.
Situ Yan nodded gracefully and said with a slight smile: "It's much better now. I'm sorry for my sister's concern."
At this time, Concubine Xian thought about her situation and felt that it was very necessary to win over the Queen, so she said: "The Queen must pay more attention to her health. After all, the prince born to the Queen must be the prince."
She didn't say this for the Queen, she clearly meant it for Concubine Hui. The mistake she made last time was because of Concubine Hui, so she always held a grudge.
Situ Yan chuckled lightly, ignoring her quick words, but glanced at Concubine Hui, and saw that she was just like him at the moment, pretending not to care, drinking from the tea cup on the table.
sipping her tea.
Seeing this, Situ Yan immediately lowered her face. Thinking about her playing the piano and giving her hairpins, she was about to get angry, but she tried her best to hold it back. Her eyes began to look at her face and neck. It was normal to assume that she was right.
Rosemary's allergic reaction should have shown its signs, but Concubine Hui's face was still dignified at this moment, her skin was fair and transparent, and there was no sign of any discomfort at all. Situ Yan couldn't help but feel doubts in her heart, and couldn't help but ask Concubine Hui
: "Sister Hui Fei, are you... feeling unwell today?"
"I don't feel any physical discomfort." Concubine Hui put down her tea cup gracefully, raised her eyes, and asked with a strange look on her face: "Why does the Queen ask this?"
Situ Yan's eyes flashed with light, and she said with her usual elegant posture: "It's nothing, it's just that the maid in the imperial kitchen accidentally dropped the dried rosemary flower bag into the well yesterday, and I was worried that my sister would drink from the well.
The water in it may cause some discomfort, so I’d like to remind my sister.”
As soon as she said this, Yun Jingchu smiled coldly in her heart. She said it quite clearly, and it seemed like this. Unfortunately, she forgot that only people in Huining Palace knew that Concubine Hui was allergic to rosemary.
Situ Yan continued to stare at Concubine Hui's face, hoping to see a panicked expression on her face, but Concubine Hui was always calm and gentle. After listening to Situ Yan's words, she smiled slightly in surprise: "It turns out that the queen
This is what the Queen is saying, so the Queen must be worried. I was indeed allergic to rosemary in the past, but she is fine now. Thank you, the Queen, for your concern."
Is she okay? Could it be that she will be okay? That girl must have lied to her. Situ Yan's eyes flashed with anger, but it quickly disappeared. She deliberately said calmly: "It's okay, sister, it's okay." After saying that, he reached out and took it casually.
Just when he was about to put the ginseng tea to his mouth, he stopped again and suddenly said: "I have one more thing to do. Sister Hui Fei ordered someone to give me a gift before. I like it very much, so
I specially asked someone in your palace to bring a return gift to my sister. I wonder if your sister likes it?"
As soon as these words were said, everyone was dumbfounded. Concubine De and Concubine Xian were extremely shocked. They did not expect that Concubine Hui would give a gift to the Empress. Everyone on Concubine Hui's side was stunned. When did Concubine Hui
Yun Jingchu didn't take the gift back at all, so they all turned their attention to Yun Jingchu.
Yun Jingchu stood aside coldly, not paying attention to other people's eyes. She just looked at Situ Yan quietly. She knew that Situ Yan was clearly framing her, and at this time she was indeed speechless.
She was the only one in Fengyi Palace, and everyone in Fengyi Palace was from Situ Yan, so naturally no one would prove it for her.
As soon as these words were said, the people in Huining Palace felt even more depressed. Concubine Hui glanced at Yun Jingchu, her face was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know how to answer before weighing it. After a moment of silence, she said with a smile: "Queen
Your Majesty is so kind."
"What, sister doesn't like it? Situ Yan deliberately raised her tone, looked at Concubine Hui and asked: "Or is this return gift not in my hands at all?"
As soon as these words were said, everyone had their own thoughts, but no one showed any thoughts on their faces, looking like they were waiting to see what happened.
"Yun Jingchu, didn't I ask you to bring the return gift back then?" Situ Yan looked at Yun Jingchu and said coldly: "Or are you, a bold slave, hiding the return gift privately?"
It seemed that she was really prepared to frame the people in Huining Palace. Yun Jingchu suppressed the emotions in her heart, gritted her teeth and knelt down humbly, and said with a trembling voice: "Empress, I have not done anything.
"
Concubine Hui frowned slightly when she saw Yun Jingchu kneeling down, and began to feel anxious, but she still didn't show too much. She looked at Situ Yan and said, "Empress, is there any misunderstanding in this?"
Situ Yan, however, drank tea without disapproval and said calmly: "So sister has received this gift in return?"
Concubine Hui looked at Situ Yan's proud eyes, and her face sank slightly. Even the man in green on one side raised his fist angrily on behalf of Yun Jingchu. Based on her understanding of Yun Jingchu, it was impossible for her to do this.
If something like this happened, it must have been framed by the Queen.
"Sister Hui Fei, this Yun Jingchu is a female official in your palace. If she really takes the Queen's gift in return, then you have to discipline her more." Concubine De also slowly put down her cup and said with a hint of coldness in the corner of her mouth.
, anyone with a discerning eye can see the Queen's intention, not to mention that female officer has helped Concubine Hui many times, such a person must not be allowed to stay.
"Yes, my concubine feels the same way. Such a slave should let her know who is the master." Concubine Xian's new hatred is compounded by her old hatred. How could she miss this opportunity to execute Yun Jingchu, so she added fuel to the fire?
Said: "If Sister Hui Fei can't bear it, why not let the Queen handle it for her?"
"The servants in the palace are getting more and more shameful now. The Queen should be punished!" Concubine Xian glared at Yun Jingchu who was kneeling on the ground, feeling very happy in her heart. This time, the sullen feeling in her heart could finally be relieved.
Have a good time.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine De glanced at Concubine Hui, who was sitting opposite her, and said with a hint of ridicule: "If the servants around you are fooling around without stopping them, people will blame Concubine Hui for this bad debt in the future.
The gains outweigh the losses.”
Concubine Hui looked at Yun Jingchu who was kneeling on the ground with a sullen face. At this time, no matter what she said, she could only let the Queen get the handle, so she could only choose to remain silent for a while...
Situ Yan saw Concubine Hui's reaction clearly, a coldness flashed across the corner of her mouth, she looked at Concubine Hui and said: "Sister Hui Concubine, these days, these slaves are becoming more and more shameless, but they are more like a master than you. Look,
She still hasn't told the truth until now..." At this time, no matter what Yun Jingchu said, she could make Huining Palace miserable.
Yun Jingchu naturally knew what Situ Yan was planning. If she admitted it, she would say that Concubine Hui would not control the slaves. If she did not admit it, Situ Yan would never let her go. So for the present plan, she could only
In the middle of admitting or not admitting, thinking about it, Yun Jingchu lowered her head and said: "The Queen understands clearly that I really don't know what is going on..."
Let's see how long you can last. Situ Yan put on a helpless look and sighed: "I didn't expect this slave to be so stubborn. Sister Hui Fei, since you are a slave of Huining Palace, why not just ask for help?"
Sister Hui Fei, please handle it, so as not to be branded as someone who is meddling in my own business."
Concubine Hui's heart was in turmoil, but after weighing the pros and cons, her eyes remained as calm as a lake, calm and calm. She looked at Yun Jingchu, knowing that Jingchu would understand her, so no matter how angry she was, she couldn't do it in front of her.
Speaking in front of so many people, Concubine Hui smiled gracefully and said in a very knowledgeable manner: "Why is the queen meddling in other people's business? How come the affairs of the harem are not the turn of the concubines? They are naturally handled by the queen."
That’s good.”
When Lu Yi saw Concubine Hui, she didn't protect Yun Jingchu. Her whole little face turned pale with fright. She looked at Yun Jingchu nervously, not knowing what to do...
