Dongfang Jin suddenly looked startled. He sat up straight, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes. An Qingran knew what he was thinking of, so the hand holding the cotton handkerchief also stopped: "You thought of
What?"
"How is that possible?" Dongfang Jin's eyes showed sadness. He said it again, then turned to look at An Qingran, holding her hand in his hand, and said in a low voice, "After that, when we arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace, the Queen Mother
He invited me to drink a cup of tea, but there was nothing wrong with the tea. It was very fragrant. I heard it was a good tribute tea, Siam tea. The tea leaves were stretched and the tea soup was light green, so there was nothing abnormal about it."
"Nothing abnormal?" An Qingran murmured, "Your poison was injected back then. If there is something abnormal, how could the Queen not discover it because she is such a smart person and understands medical science?"
Dongfang Jin was so smart. When An Qingran said this, he immediately said: "Do you think the poison back then had something to do with the Queen Mother?"
"I don't dare to draw any conclusions. It's just that I can trigger you to be poisoned so easily now, and you only have 12% of the poison left in your body now. If your body was the same as before, I'm afraid... I'm afraid even gods won't be able to recover, so
, so cruel, it must have been caused by the poison administered back then, nothing else." An Qingran was very confident about this.
Dongfang Jin lowered his eyes when he heard this and didn't speak for a long time.
An Qingran knew that he felt sad.
Holding his shoulders, Dongfang Jin leaned his head in her arms and sighed faintly: "When I was a child, my grandmother seemed to love me. Later, she worshiped Buddha all the year round and didn't ask about the people in the palace.
Anyway, I don’t want her to do this."
Yes, that is my grandmother.
An Qingran could imagine the sadness in his heart.
"We don't have any evidence now. Anyway, we have to find out first."
"Of course, this is not only about me, but also about my mother."
"So, we will investigate secretly from now on. Of course, I have an idea." An Qingran said, lowering her voice and talking to Dongfang Jin in detail.
After hearing this, Dongfang Jin nodded secretly, but did not smile on his face. Instead, he hooked his long arm and brought An Qingran into his arms, and pressed his lips to her forehead: "Qingqing, I am lucky to have you, and I will never change it in this life.
"
An Qingran's heart moved, she was filled with joy, her face was as bright as a peach blossom, and she smiled gently: "There is a gentleman like this, who is like a bell (but also owes) joy, holding the hand of a child, and it will never change in this life."
Dongfang Jin's thin kisses fell on her lips and cheeks, silent words, ultimate love, the red curtain of flowers was hanging down, how charming and charming the inside was, it attracted endless reverie, and one or two gasps made her even more...
People's faces are red and their ears are hot...
******************
In the palace, there was a solemn atmosphere because of the prince's illness.
Everyone didn't know what the condition was, but there was still no specific news, and even when someone looked, they couldn't see the prince himself.
Concubine Shu was sitting in the Jiaoxiang Courtyard. The parrot under the eaves occasionally shouted something. Concubine Shu waved her hand in disgust, "Someone, shut up this beast."
The parrot didn't know if he heard it clearly, but it still covered its head and shouted: "Don't move."
"Oh, it's too bad, don't let me see it." Concubine Shu laughed angrily.
The palace maids hurriedly took the parrot away. Concubine Shu thought it was funny how she could get angry with an animal. It was not guilty at all, but she vented her anger on her own.
She gently twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers. The patterned clothes that outlined the treasure made her waist as slender as a twenty-eight-year-old girl. However, her expression was so unkind that the palace maid next to her did not dare to say a word. She held her breath in concentration and did not dare to breathe.
After a long while, Concubine Shu slowly spoke: "Prince Kang hasn't entered the palace yet?"
"Go back to your Majesty, Xiao Mouzi has already sent the export message. I believe the prince will be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the birds outside chirped again, and Kang Wang Dongfang Ye walked in. He was wearing a moon-white satin embroidered cloud and dragon court robe, dark floral Ruyi cloud patterns, and a pair of light gold soft sheepskin court boots. He looked very refreshing.
Quickly, Murong Shu saw his son Yushu standing in front of him. All the depression disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face: "Ye'er, why did you come so late?"
Dongfang Ye sighed: "When I got up early, An Yanran suddenly suffered from abdominal pain. I asked a doctor to come and see, but the pain was gone. No, my son came to the palace after handling her affairs."
When he said this, his tone was quite complaining.
Murong Shu's face darkened: "Ye'er, this is your fault. Yanran has a body like that and is young. She panics when something happens. You are her husband. You should be more considerate of her at this time. Why is it like this?
complain?"
"Mother Concubine? But you don't know, this cousin Yan is very careless. She is the most trouble-making one. She keeps shouting that if she gives birth to a boy, Mother Concubine, you will agree to make her the royal concubine."
"Yes, what's wrong with that?" When Murong Shu said this, she twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled. Maybe she felt that her smile was too sudden. She picked up the celadon tea cup next to her and blew the hot air from it.
, did not drink, but put it down, "Don't you understand the meaning of the mother-in-law?"
Although Dongfang Ye had thought of something, his head was getting bigger and bigger when it came to this good cousin: "Concubine, in terms of dignity and respect, she is not as good as Concubine Yue, and in terms of gentleness and consideration, she is not as good as Mrs. Yun. Now, she is domineering every day.
It's very surprising that even though she is just a little lady, she has caused unrest in the house. If she is really pregnant because of her, then the two ladies will also be able to have children, and we are not afraid that they will not be able to give birth to a boy."
"Ye'er, don't talk nonsense. After all, Yanran is the general's daughter. If she gets a boy at one stroke, it would be inappropriate for her not to be promoted to a concubine. What's more, the concubine has already spoken to the general about this matter.
Don't screw up here yet, be lenient to her, a pregnant person will inevitably feel anxious, so make her happy and give birth to the child smoothly, that's better than anything else."
"Concubine, what's wrong with you today?" Dongfang Ye felt that his concubine was really different. She had never cared so much about An Yanran before, "Is it because of the prince's affairs?"
"Please keep your voice down." Murong Shu nodded slightly, "The concubine will go to see the prince later. I heard rumors from outsiders that the prince's poison has not been cured. The emperor is extremely anxious and did not even sleep."
Dongfang Ye could not suppress the surprise on his face: "Really?"
"Tell you to keep your voice down." Murong Shu glared at him, unable to keep his temper.
Dongfang Ye could speak softly, but the expression on his face was one of uncontrollable joy. He clapped his hands and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "He is poisonous after all. This is what makes people happy."
"Shut up, have you forgotten what happened last time? We don't want to do stupid things again and take the blame for others. We don't want to do anything now. We don't want to do anything suspicious, especially you. Don't stay outside.
Come on, stay in Prince Kang's Mansion when you have nothing to do, and don't wander around and talk nonsense." Murong Shu learned a lot from the experience.
Dongfang Ye nodded slightly when he heard this: "But how did he get the poison?"
"There are still strange people in this palace, we just have to wait and see what happens." Murong Shu finally picked up the tea cup and took a big sip, "It's the same with drinking tea. Don't be too impatient. Wait until the time is right."
Dongfang Ye was no longer happy, said a few more words, and then left.
******
Prince Kang's Mansion.
An Yanran is already pregnant, and she is due to give birth in more than two months. She is thin and small, so she is extremely tired, and her temper will naturally not get better.
Caiyun was supporting her as she walked in the garden. An Yanran looked at the magnolia in front of her, which was blooming just right. The tree was purple, and the flowers were also extraordinarily big. However, they had not yet sprouted leaves and were just flowers. She felt a little lonely. Seeing her
Caiyun hurriedly spread the colorful and green brocade mattress on the wooden chair, helped An Yanran sit down safely, and covered her with a bright red cloak with gold threads in front of her, revealing only the bright
Her small face and belly were also covered. Looking at it this way, she was just a beautiful girl. Caiyun secretly sighed, even if she was pregnant, she was still beautiful, but it was a pity that the prince regarded her as thatch, which was disgusting.
Call.
An Yanran looked at the flowers on the tree and said nothing, but the expression on her face was quiet and peaceful. Caiyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was their blessing that her master could have a moment of peace.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard laughter, and it turned out to be An Ranyue and Shen Zhiyun walking over. Today, Shen Zhiyun was dressed extraordinarily delicately, wearing a moth-yellow embroidered butterfly skirt and a moon-white upper body embroidered with auspicious grass and clouds and wide sleeves.
Wearing a double-silk silk silk robe and a moon-white plain cloak, the whole person looks as airy as a fairy. Next to An Ranyue is a bright red Ruyi satin embroidered colorful auspicious cloud suit. The whole person looks like a royal wife.
Fan'er, An Yanran took one look at her, and her expression immediately changed. These two people were deliberately trying not to make her feel better. They had stolen this moment of leisure, and they were here to cause trouble again.
It wasn't until An Ranyue approached that An Yanran symbolically stood up. An Ranyue said calmly: "That's all, you are inconvenient, so don't get up."
An Yanran then sat down and said, "Fortunately, sister doesn't blame me. Otherwise, if the news spreads, she will say that I don't know the etiquette."
Shen Zhiyun looked at the purple magnolia tree full of trees and sighed, "This flower bloomed early. I remember that in previous years, it would only bloom in mid-April. This year, it bloomed a few days earlier. I wonder if this is a good sign?"
"
An Ranyue also looked over: "Well, these flowers are also in season. They bloom early. It's not a good thing if people bloom early or something."
It was obvious that she meant something.
An Yanran raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean, sister? Are you cursing my child for premature birth?"
"Oh, that's what you said." An Ranyue turned around and looked at her with a grimace on her face, "But you can't say that. If it reaches the ears of the prince, I can't bear the responsibility. Besides,
You are also about to become a mother, why do you still take such unlucky things upon yourself?"
"Then did I hear it wrong? Is there someone testifying? Why don't you make it clearer? What does it mean? If you can't convince me, I will not follow it this time. I will go to the palace and come in person.
In front of the mother and concubine, let her comment on this, let's just tear our faces apart, no one can pretend to be virtuous." An Yanran stood up in anger, her clothes fell to the ground, and her big belly simply moved forward
She straightened up again, as if her belly was trying to conquer everything.
An Ranyue's face was still calm, and she even smiled slightly: "Sister, are you threatening me? I said, I'm not talking about you."
"Then who are you talking about?" An Yanran seized this favorable opportunity, how could he spare her.
An Ranyue sighed, and Shen Zhiyun said from the side: "Maybe my sister is overthinking it. My sister just sighed occasionally, why did she think of other things?"
"I don't want to think about it, but these words are too harsh. If my sister does something wrong, it doesn't matter if she scolds me. But this involves the heirs of the royal family. My sister doesn't dare to be careless at all. Sister, if you
If you don't want to say it, then I'll let the prince give us a review first." When An Yanran spoke, her eyes were very lively and her voice was deliberately raised. She wished that everyone would come to see the excitement.
But how could those palace maids get close? They were running as far away as they could for fear of being affected.
The expression on An Ranyue's face did not change. She flicked her sleeves and sighed. However, she still held the purple magnolia in her hand. Instead, she brought it to her eyes. She took a closer look at the flower, which made An Yanran's anger clear.
He was completely ignored, which made An Yanran have the urge to rush forward.
Finally, she put the flower in Shen Zhiyun's mane with her backhand, took a step back, made some greetings, and said in her mouth: "Mrs. Yun is naturally beautiful, with white and tender skin. As soon as I took advantage of this flower, it became even whiter."
"No, my sister's skin is better. I can't help but envy her." Shen Zhiyun wondered in his heart, what happened to An Ranyue today? She was clearly competing with An Yanran.
An Yanran took a step forward: "Sister, what do you mean, don't you dare to answer my question?"
An Ranyue turned around and said slowly: "Sister, what are you so anxious about? Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you're going to eat me. No matter what, I'm still the chief in Prince Kang's Mansion. As for you, what are you talking about?"
I'm afraid we have to talk about the matter of the princess after the child is born, right? What's more, we can't argue about some things in this house. If someone listens to them, it will cause trouble to the prince again. Has my sister forgotten?
Did you remember what happened last time when you went to the palace? Didn’t the emperor blame the prince? "
An Ranyue made sense, and An Yanran was so angry that she said, "I don't care, let's just fight each other. I just want to know what my sister just said about flowers blooming first and people blooming in advance."
,What exactly does that mean.'
An Yanran thought she had the upper hand, so how could she give in?
An Ranyue waved her hand, and Caiyun and the other maids hurriedly left, a hundred meters away.
An Ranyue said slowly: "Haven't you heard? The prince is poisoned and is very serious now. All visitors are not allowed to see him. This is what I am talking about. You are thinking nonsense again. You are still talking to me here.
I yelled without even thinking about it, why should I take advantage of the verbal pleasure? If word spreads, my reputation will be second to none, and people will think that King Kang has no way to control his wife, and there is always a fire in the backyard."
