The palace maid Yun Xiu wiped the tears from the corners of Jiang Jieyu's eyes with a soft handkerchief, "I don't know if Lady Cui believes it."
Jiang Jieyu closed her eyes and said, "You have to stay away from her from now on." - so as not to get involved.
Yun Xiu lowered her voice and asked: "Madam, do you want to report this matter to the Queen?"
Jiang Jieyu couldn't help but hesitate. Ms. Cui and she were both pitiful people, not to mention her empty talk...
Yun Xiu added: "If our three princesses cannot win the favor of the emperor, it would be good for us to have the queen's protection."
Jiang Jieyu couldn't help but feel a little excited. Yes, the queen, as the aunt, had a say in the princess's marriage. She and Cui had no friendship at all, but for the sake of a beautiful future...
Jiang Jieyu suppressed the last trace of unbearable feeling in her heart and said, "Let me think about it."——Think about how to report this to the Queen.
"Empress, Jiang Jieyu would like to see you." Huai Xu reported outside the tent.
Wen Xiaotu murmured lazily: "What is she doing here? Didn't I just ask you to say hello?"
Huai Xu said: "Jiang Jieyu said that I have something urgent to report to you."
Wen Xiaotu yawned lazily. What could be urgent about Yuanzi? Suddenly, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the third princess was sick?
"Oh, help me up."
Alas, as expected, when there are more people, there are more things to do.
It's better to keep them all in the palace. If anything happens, it's Xin Ruozhi's business.
Jiang Jieyu waited in the flower hall for half an hour before she saw the queen walking lazily.
Jiang Jieyu looked at her nose and heart with her eyes and nose, and she was busy doing good things for her body, "I'm disturbing my concubine."
Wen Xiaotu forced a smile and explained: "Last night was the night of the full moon. The Emperor came to Yaxing, and I stayed with him to admire the moon until half of the night, so I got up a little late today."
This kind of thing is just saying it. If you believe it, you are stupid. Of course Jiang Jieyu is not stupid, and she quickly agreed: "Yes, it is cool at night in the garden, and the moonlight last night was very beautiful."
Wen Xiaotu smiled tacitly, and then realized that Jiang Jieyu came alone, so he asked, "Is the third princess okay?"
Jiang Jieyu smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, my dear. Jinxiu came to the garden and has been clamoring to go out to play."
You're not sick? Then why are you here?
Wen Xiaotu looked at Jiang Jieyu doubtfully.
Jiang Jieyu glanced at the room and said in a low voice: "Please step aside, please."
Still mysterious.
Wen Xiaotu waved his hand, and the palace people around him immediately understood and bowed their knees and retreated.
Jiang Jieyu hurriedly took two steps closer and whispered: "Empress, the day before yesterday Cui Cairen went to my concubine's Yilan Pavilion. What he said was clearly intended to compete for favor. Please be careful, Empress."
Wen Xiaotu: That’s it??
She raised her eyelids lightly and said, "Oh."
Jiang Jieyu: Is your reaction too bland?
"Aren't you worried, Madam?" Jiang Jieyu couldn't help but ask.
Wen Xiaotu stroked the pearl beside his ear and said calmly: "She came to the garden all the time. If she is not competing for favor, is she just here to escape the summer heat?"
Jiang Jieyu hesitated, yes, after all the effort, Ms. Cui clearly wanted to win favor! Her report was just nonsense. But... the matter related to the spice was ultimately a matter of reputation.
Jiang Jieyu gritted her teeth. Since she has become a villain, why should she keep half of it? She whispered: "But Cui Cairen seems to want to confuse the Holy Emperor with love potions! This is really against the palace rules!"
Wen Xiaotu was also surprised, "Love potion?!"
She remembered, isn't this the Queen Mother's usual method?!
The Queen Mother has passed away. How can Cui Cairen get the charm medicine?
By the way, it seems that the year after her death, the Queen Mother used the incense to help Jiang Jieyu sleep with her son.
Wen Xiaotu stared at Jiang Jieyu in front of her, and she probably understood that it was probably Cui Cairen who went to ask Jiang Jieyu for the incense.
Jiang was afraid of being implicated, so he came to inform?
Wen Xiaotu smiled: "How could Cui Cairen tell you such a thing that is against the palace rules?"
Jiang Jieyu paused and was speechless for a moment.
Wen Xiaotu narrowed his eyes, "Besides, why is there such a thing in the palace? Is it possible that Jieyu has it?"
Jiang Jieyu was shocked. This queen is young, but her thoughts are sharp! She waved her hands hurriedly: "Of course not! I am a concubine in the inner palace, and my family is from a humble family, how can I have such a thing!"
Wen Xiaotu thought to himself that of course Jiang Jieyu couldn't get such a thing by herself. Even if she could, it would be a reward from the Queen Mother.
Could it be that Jiang Jieyu still had some leftovers on hand, or Cui Cairen thought Jiang Jieyu still had some, so he went to Yilan Pavilion to ask for them?
Seeing the queen's thoughtful expression, Jiang Jieyu felt frightened. The queen had already doubted her! If she kept secretive now, she might not only fail to gain the queen's trust, but also arouse the queen's defense!
So, Jiang Jieyu gritted her teeth and knelt down with a pop, "I don't dare to deceive my concubine. That love potion... In the early years, the Queen Mother gave some to my concubine."
Wen Xiaotu: Sure enough...
Jiang Jieyu hurriedly said: "But the Queen Mother only rewarded a very small amount, and the concubine only used it once and became pregnant, so the rest were destroyed!"
Wen Xiaotu raised his eyebrows: "Destroy it when you're pregnant? Jieyu was a little anxious. At that time, you didn't know whether you were a son or a daughter, but you didn't keep a copy for the future? This thing was a reward from the Queen Mother.
Yes, even if he is found out, the Queen Mother will support him."
Jiang Jieyu smiled bitterly, "I don't know what the empress does. I'm really scared, so I don't dare to keep this thing! I'm not afraid of the empress's jokes. The first time I used this fragrant medicine was in the Queen Mother's side hall, and the Queen Mother gave it to me.
The emperor was half drunk, and the concubine succeeded. When he woke up later, the emperor was so furious that he almost strangled the concubine to death! If the empress dowager hadn't heard the news and came to the concubine, the concubine would have been in the imperial mausoleum by now."
Wen Xiaotu:...So that’s what happened.
The emperor can't really be blamed for sleeping with Jiang Jieyu.
Of course, Lin Cairen and Cui Cairen had no one to give him medicine. The Dog Emperor simply broke the pot.
But then again, can Jiang be blamed for this matter? This is what the Queen Mother meant. How dare Jiang Jieyu say "no"? The Queen Mother specially designed this in her palace. I am afraid she also expected that when the emperor
He would definitely become angry from shame, and His Majesty, the angry Emperor, would not show mercy to others. It is not difficult to predict that Jiang also took a huge risk. However, the benefits were also quite substantial, and he actually fell into the trap at once.
Wen Xiaotu could only say that the Dog Emperor was in good health.
