Chapter 600: Setting Up: The Musk Buried in the Flower Pot
During the days when Huang Xiurong was recovering from her injuries, many people came to see her jokes, and many people came to comfort her and let her recover from her injuries. Li Waner was one of the few people who comforted her.
This time she got better, so she naturally had to go to Cuiwei Palace to talk to Li Waner and build a good relationship with Li Waner.
When Li Waner saw Huang Xiurong coming to see her, she stepped forward in person and greeted her with a smile: "My sister's injury is not fully healed yet, why bother moving around in a hurry?"
"Sister, I just want to come here to thank you. This is a gift for your sister. I hope Sister De Fei will accept it." After Huang Xiurong finished speaking, Yun Xin and Xiao Dengzi carefully carried in a pot of lotus orchid.
The leaves of this pot of lotus petal orchid are moist and shiny, the leaves are delicate, the plant is compact, and there are four flowers in one cup. The flowers are bright in color and have a distant fragrance. It is a rare treasure.
Li Waner was overjoyed when she first saw this pot of lotus petal orchid, her eyes bright: "It's so beautiful. How could I know that my sister likes orchids?"
"My sister is a person that my sister admires. Naturally, my sister has to find out what her sister likes. Because she knows that her sister likes orchids, she put a lot of thought into getting this pot of lotus petal orchid. Seeing that her sister likes it, my sister's thoughts are nothing.
It’s all in vain.” Huang Xiurong replied with a smile.
"Sister, you took the trouble." Li Waner was indeed very happy.
Just when the atmosphere was very good, there was talk and laughter from far to near.
Not long after, Liu Jieyu showed up. Not only that, but some sisters from the harem also came, and Mu Ci was among them.
The moment Huang Xiurong saw Mu Ci, his pupils tightened, and the wound that had not yet fully healed felt a dull pain.
There is an unbreakable grudge between her and Mu Ci. As long as she is in this harem, Mu Ci will be her mortal enemy!
Last time she had a chance to kill Yingchun and slap Mu Ci hard in the face, but she failed.
It was Li Waner who told her that Mu Ci was probably the one from Chenxiang Palace. And the two palace residents that the Empress Dowager cared about the most were Yingchun and Sizhu.
She was thinking at that time that if what Li Waner said was true, she would kill Yingchun and let Mu Ci feel the pain in her heart.
So, there was the battle of Si Yisi.
She didn't even need to take action herself, but many people took risks in order to climb up. Unfortunately, at the last moment, Yingchun ran away...
Mu Ci seemed not to feel the murderous aura emanating from Huang Xiurong's face.
She was talking and laughing with Liu Jieyu, but she didn't even look at Huang Xiurong, and even Li Waner was ignored by her.
I don’t know who saw the pot of lotus orchids first, and was immediately attracted by the pot of orchids, so many people gathered around it.
Mu Ci also came over to watch the fun. After looking up and down, she curled her lips and said, "It's just a pot of vulgar things. What's the fuss? The exotic flowers and plants I've seen are much prettier than this pot of orchids."
Because of her words, the scene fell silent for a moment, and finally Liu Jieyu reconciled: "This pot of orchids is still very beautiful."
"I don't like hearing such false talk anymore." Mu Ci glanced at Liu Jieyu with disdain.
Liu Jieyu thought that she was wronged. She really thought this pot of orchids was beautiful, and this was not an argument against her will.
But under Mu Ci's gaze, she actually felt guilty.
Huang Xiurong has never been a good-tempered woman. She has always been the only one in this harem who dared to be domineering. Who is Mu Ci? Even if Mu Ci is really the Queen Mother, she is not afraid at all.
At this time, Mu Ci kept talking nonstop: "I don't know what kind of thing sent these messy things, it looks unlucky..."
Before she could finish her words, a furious Huang Xiurong rushed over and slapped her hard in the face.
Mu Ci seemed not to have expected that Huang Xiurong would kill her. She hurriedly tried to hide, but when she stepped back, she knocked over the pot of lotus petals.
The moment the orchid was knocked over, everyone felt a strange smell in the room.
Liu Jieyu had smelled a little peculiar smell before, but it was not as obvious as now. This time, after Orchid was knocked over by Mu Ci, the peculiar smell became even stronger.
I don’t know who exclaimed first: “Could this be musk?”
It was Wang Cairen who noticed the exclamation. She dug up a bit of powder hidden at the bottom of the flower pot, which further confirmed her idea.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Huang Xiurong's face.
Just now they all heard that it was Huang Xiurong who gave this pot of orchids to Concubine De.
Huang Xiurong's face turned pale and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, you bitch? How could there be musk in the flowerpot?"
"This is a serious matter, so we should report it to the Emperor," Mu Ci said.
After Li Waner's initial change of expression, she quickly returned to normal: "No need, this matter ends here!"
This matter is a bit strange, and Huang Xiurong still has value, so it is not appropriate to break up the relationship at this time.
"It seems that Concubine De trusts Huang Xiurong very much, but I am waiting to make a fuss out of it." Mu Ci smiled and did not continue to hold on to her.
The speaker was intentional, and the listeners were also intentional. Soon everyone understood some articles from Mu Ci's words.
Does this mean that the friendship between Li Waner and Huang Xiurong is unusual?
I haven't seen these two people interact with each other normally, but since then, they have been fighting fiercely.
Just when everyone was having their own thoughts, suddenly Li Yu's voice came from far away: "The Emperor is here!"
When Huang Xiurong heard that the emperor was coming, his expression changed again and again.
She wished she could clean up the evidence on the ground immediately.
How could it be such a coincidence? Why did the emperor come to Cuiwei Palace?
Just when she was in a state of confusion, Dugu Liancheng, wearing a dragon robe, appeared in everyone's sight.
Mu Ci had the fastest hands and feet. She rushed to Dugu Liancheng and said, "How did the emperor know about the situation in Cuiwei Palace?"
Dugu Liancheng was startled, turned around and looked behind him, and found that Yingchun had not followed.
It was Yingchun who ran to Yong'an Palace and said that Mu Ci missed him. He happened to have nothing to do, so he came to see Mu Ci to relieve her pain of lovesickness.
It seems that when something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
He touched her head: "Tell me, what's going on here?"
Mu Ci looked at Liu Jieyu and said, "It's up to you to speak."
Under the watchful eye of Dugu Liancheng, Liu Jieyu told the whole story of the matter.
"Concubine De is not pregnant. Even if this pot of orchids is filled with musk, it will not cause any harm to Concubine De's body." Dugu Liancheng felt that he still had this common sense.
Mu Ci's eyes were fixed on Wang Cairen's face, and Wang Cairen shrank her neck. She didn't want to get involved in such a thing at all.
Seeing this, Mu Ci said helplessly: "Wang Cairen knows pharmacological knowledge. Your Majesty, please ask Wang Cairen. Maybe there is something else to gain. Even if it doesn't work, you should ask someone from Tai Hospital to come and find out. This is a matter of morality.
The body of the concubine cannot be careless."
"I forgot that you also know pharmacological knowledge. Please tell me, what else is in here." Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci intently.
