Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters six gods without masters
Zhang Kun brought over three women who were about forty years old. These candied fruits in the Changqiu Palace were made by them. Liu Xiu glanced at them and asked: "You made these candied fruits?"
"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The three women knelt on the ground, their faces pale and their bodies trembling. Yin Guiren fell into a coma after eating their preserves, and the three women all felt that a disaster was coming.
Liu Xiu asked: "Did you add wine to the candied fruits?"
The three women looked at each other, and one of them bravely said: "Your Majesty, before making the candied fruit, soak it in wine. This... This is the secret recipe passed down by the grass people. Doing this can make the candied fruit softer and softer.
It’s more flavorful and tastes more delicious.”
Zhang Kun came to Liu Xiu and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have asked other chefs that there is indeed such a way to make preserves, but..." Zhang Kun stopped talking, Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked: "Just what?"
"Your Majesty, even if the candied fruits are soaked in wine before being made, this will only increase the taste of the candied fruits. I have never heard that eating such candied fruits will be intoxicating!"
In Zhang Kun's view, Yin Lihua's drunkenness could not have been caused by eating a few candied fruits.
After listening to his words, Nanny Feng was sweating like raindrops, and Guo Shengtong's heart was in her throat.
If Yin Lihua became drunk because she ate candied fruits soaked in wine, then she does not have much responsibility. At most, she is at fault.
If it was found that Yin Lihua became drunk because of drinking flower tea mixed with flower wine, then she would not be able to explain it clearly. It was obvious that she was deliberately getting Yin Lihua drunk.
After listening to Zhang Kun's words, Liu Xiu looked at Guo Shengtong, who had a gloomy face, and then at Aunt Feng, who was sweating profusely. His eyes turned on the two of them for a long time, then he looked away, looked at the imperial doctor, and asked
Said: "Doctor Li, do you think these candied fruits can be intoxicating?"
Medical Officer Li frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, this depends on the individual."
For a person who has a good alcohol capacity, eating so many candied fruits soaked in wine is nothing at all, let alone getting drunk. But for a person who has a poor alcohol capacity, it is not impossible for this situation to happen.
Liu Xiu said slowly: "Yin Guiren's drinking capacity is not bad." Yin Lihua's drinking capacity cannot be said to be very good, but drinking three or four glasses of wine is still not a problem.
Medical Officer Li said: "Your Majesty, if Mr. Yin has a good capacity for drinking, then a few candied fruits will not make Mr. Yin drunk."
After hearing what he said, Grandma Feng's body on her knees shook even more violently. Before Liu Xiu could continue to ask, Medical Officer Li suddenly thought of something and said, "However, we cannot generalize. Your Majesty, Lady Yin is pregnant now."
, this may cause Yin Guiren’s drinking capacity to be less than before, and it is entirely possible that he will become drunk from eating a few candied fruits soaked in wine!”
What Dr. Li said was not nonsense. A woman's physique will indeed undergo some changes after she becomes pregnant, but some women's changes will be smaller, while others will have larger changes.
For example, a woman who was not allergic before may become allergic after becoming pregnant. A woman who used to be a good drinker may become drunk after one or two drinks after becoming pregnant. This varies from person to person.
What Medical Officer Li added later made Guo Shengtong sigh with relief in his heart. Aunt Feng raised her arm and wiped her forehead with her sleeve to remove the cold sweat on her face.
The relieved expressions of Guo Shengtong and Nanny Feng did not escape Liu Xiu's eyes. He looked at Medical Officer Li intently and asked, "Is everything you said true?"
Doctor Li hurriedly kowtowed forward and said, "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. Everything I said is true."
Liu Xiu nodded and did not ask any more questions about the matter. He changed the subject and asked, "How is Mr. Yin now?"
"It's just drunk, nothing serious."
Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Where is he?" As he spoke, he nuzzled at Wei Xun who was lying on the ground.
Medical officer Li cleared his throat and said: "Captain Wei...Kui Xun only suffered a trauma to the back of his head, nothing...not serious."
Liu Xiu stood up and said: "Deduct Wei Xun, Luo You, and the three chefs to Yeting Prison. In addition, order Hua Meiren to conduct a rigorous trial on the case!"
Just when Zhang Kung was about to receive the order, Guo Shengtong said urgently: "Your Majesty, this matter happened in Changqiu Palace, and it should be tried by Da Changqiu!"
Dachangqiu is an official name. The queen is the head of the harem, and most of the officials in the harem are the queen's officials, and Dachangqiu is the head of the queen's officials.
This official position is usually held by eunuchs. Under special circumstances, female officials may also be selected. Currently, the person holding the post of Dachangqiu is Chen Zhi, an eunuch in his early thirties.
When Liu Xiu was King Xiao, Chen Zhi was already Liu Xiu's dependent, and won the trust and respect of the king's wife Guo Shengtong.
Later, Liu Xiu moved his capital to Luoyang, and most of his former family members went home with generous rewards. Only a few were willing to stay. Chen Zhi was one of them, who voluntarily castrated himself and became a chamberlain in the palace.
After Chen Zhi became a chamberlain, Guo Shengtong trusted him even more and left many secret matters to Chen Zhi. Not long after Guo Shengtong was canonized as the queen, Chen Zhi was promoted to Da Changqiu by her and became the head of the queen's official staff.
Liu Xiu looked at Guo Shengtong and said expressionlessly: "The queen has been working too hard during this period. The queen should not worry about this matter. Let Feiyan handle it!"
After speaking, Liu Xiu didn't stop any longer. He walked to the bed, reached out and picked up Yin Lihua by her waist, and then walked out.
Everyone present could feel that His Majesty was angry with the Queen. People were frightened and knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to breathe.
Of course Liu Xiu was angry with Guo Shengtong. Yin Lihua came to your Changqiu Palace to drink tea, but she ended up inexplicably drunk in Changqiu Palace.
What's even more incredible is that Wei Xun sneaked into Changqiu Palace without anyone noticing, intending to do evil things to Yin Lihua.
If the little palace maid named Luo You hadn't found out in time and knocked Wei Xun unconscious in a sneak attack, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Liu Xiu felt scared just thinking about it. How could he not be angry with Guo Shengtong?
He carried the sleeping Yin Lihua away, while Zhang Kun led people to escort Wei Xun, Luo You and the three cooks to Yeting Prison.
The people in Changqiu Palace knelt on the ground and remained motionless for a long time. Finally, Nanny Feng stood up tremblingly, walked over to Guo Shengtong, and helped her up.
As soon as Guo Shengtong stood up, her legs went weak and she was about to collapse on the ground again. Aunt Feng hurriedly caught her, almost holding Guo Shengtong, and helped her sit on the couch. She waved to everyone present and said: "
You all get out first!"
After all the maids and chamberlains of Changqiu Palace had exited the hall, Nanny Feng knelt down beside Guo Shengtong and asked in a trembling voice: "Queen, now... what should we do now?"
Now Wei Xun is imprisoned in Yeting Prison, and what's even more terrible is that there is a witness like Luo You.
If Wei Xun was the only one, it would be easy to talk about anything. No matter what Wei Xun confessed, it was only his side of the story, and everyone in Changqiu Palace had to defend himself.
But the problem is that now there is one more Luo You, and they don't know how much Luo You has seen. If Luo You sees that it was Nanny Feng who brought Wei Xun into the Changqiu Palace, then everything will be over.
Guo Shengtong, whose mind was completely blank, gradually regained consciousness after a long time. She shivered violently, grabbed Nanny Feng's arm, and murmured: "You...did you just see His Majesty treat me like this?"
attitude?"
In the past, no matter how angry His Majesty was with her, he had never treated her with this attitude. Now, Guo Shengtong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with waves of chills growing in his bones.
Nanny Feng grinned and said in a trembling voice: "Queen, now is not the time to think about this, but... let's think about Wei Xun and Luo You first! If Luo You saw that it was the old slave who led Wei Xun into Changqiu
From the palace, then...then, it is not a pity for the old slave to die, but...but the queen will also be implicated by the old slave..."
Guo Shengtong's body was shocked again. She looked at Aunt Feng, took a breath, and finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
Her thoughts turned around and she murmured: "Luo You... must not live!" After saying that, she looked around and asked: "Where is Chen Zhi? Where is Chen Zhi?"
"The old slave has sent someone to look for him!"
As soon as Aunt Feng finished speaking, the door of the main hall opened, and a eunuch bowed and walked in quickly from the outside. Entering the main hall, the eunuch knelt down, kowtowed forward, and said: "I have seen the queen!
"
"Chen Zhi, you... you're here!" Guo Shengtong's panic calmed down a lot when she saw Chen Zhi. She asked Aunt Feng to tell Chen Zhi the whole story.
After hearing this, Chen Zhi also took a breath, frowned, and his expression changed uncertainly.
Guo Shengtong said: "Chen Zhi, hurry up and find a way to kill Luo You as soon as possible, so that she can shut up forever before she opens her mouth!"
At the end of the sentence, her exquisite facial features were a little distorted, and the coldness in her eyes gave people goosebumps.
Chen Zhi stood up, walked to Guo Shengtong, knelt down and whispered, "Queen, don't panic, this matter needs careful consideration."
Guo Shengtong said anxiously: "There is no time! Once Luo You reveals that it was Aunt Feng who brought Wei Xun into Changqiu Palace, Nanny Feng, and I, no one will be able to recover!"
Chen Zhi nodded solemnly and said: "Queen, this matter is of great importance, please let me think about it carefully." As he spoke, he moved behind Guo Shengtong, raised his hand, and gently rubbed Guo Shengtong's tight muscles due to nervousness.
Bangbang shoulders.
After a while, he said to Nanny Feng: "Nanny Feng, go make a pot of calming tea for the queen."
Nanny Feng and Chen Zhi were both Guo Shengtong's confidants and right-hand men. Nanny Feng was unwilling to listen to Chen Zhi. She turned to look at Guo Shengtong and saw the latter nodded. She then bowed, stood up, and walked towards
Walk outside.
When Aunt Feng left, Chen Zhi gently squeezed Guo Shengtong's shoulders and whispered: "Queen, there are two ways! Either shut up Luo You, or shut up Aunt Feng."
Guo Shengtong was shaken, turned around and looked at Chen Zhi in surprise, and said, "Do you know how many years Grandma Feng has been with me?"
"This is a last resort. The best way is of course to attack Luo You, but..."
Chen Zhi frowned and said: "Luo You is now imprisoned in Yeting Prison and is being interrogated by Hua Feiyan personally. It is very difficult to attack her. To act under Hua Feiyan's nose, this servant... is really
I’m not completely sure!”
Guo Shengtong asked: "If there is nothing we can do against Luo You, what should we do?"
Chen Zhi came close to Guo Shengtong's ear and whispered: "If we can't shut up Luo You, we can only do the next best thing and shut up Aunt Feng! This matter will only be implicated if Aunt Feng shuts up and has no evidence to prove it.
Not on the queen’s body.”
Guo Shengtong was stunned for a moment, shook his head repeatedly, and said: "No! Aunt Feng is like an adoptive mother to me. I...I will never let this happen!"
Chen Zhi looked at Guo Shengtong worriedly, lowered his head, and whispered: "The queen must also understand that the queen is not just a person now, but also related to the prince, the second prince, and the little prince who is about to be born in the queen's womb."
His words made Guo Shengtong subconsciously raise his hand and gently caress his lower abdomen.
At this time, Aunt Feng entered the main hall with tea. Chen Zhi raised the corner of his mouth and said with a relaxed smile: "Queen, don't worry, I will do my best to handle this matter!"
