Chapter 20 An Lingrong (20)
Suiyuxuan invited all the imperial doctors on duty and summoned several eunuchs from the imperial kitchen. It was such a big fuss, it was hard for everyone not to know about it.
Cui Jinxi is no longer on duty at Suiyuxuan, so Xiao Xiazi has no psychological burden in taking money to sell information.
So when he asked the imperial physician to come, his important clients like Concubine Hua and Empress knew everything they needed to know.
Jingpin of Xianfu Palace was a person who made a fortune in silence. She didn't tell anyone the news after she knew it. After Shen Meiyu came to her palace, she was not very respectful to her. On the contrary, during the period when Shen Meiyu was favored, she was implicated by her and was bullied by Concubine Hua several times. Jingpin didn't want to have anything to do with Shen Meiyu anymore.
Shen Meizhuang has always been aloof and looked down on these servants. She was even more disdainful of using money to buy information from the eunuchs, so even if most of the concubines in the palace knew about it, she was still unaware of it.
An Lingrong was listening to Zhou Ninghai's vivid performance with the people from Concubine Hua's team in Yikun Palace. Everyone was gloating.
Lipin's voice was full of joy: "Look, this must be because Zhen Huan blocked too many people's way, so she was poisoned. She has become a stinky person. Let's see if the emperor will continue to let her be the only favorite in the harem!"
Although Concubine Cao disliked the emperor, she was also annoyed with Zhen Huan's trend of being the only favorite. "What Concubine Li said makes sense. But the one who came up with this idea is a clever one. It won't hurt her body, and Zhen Huan will no longer be favored. Even if she is discovered, it won't be a big deal."
At this time, they only knew that Zhen Huan had become smelly.
Concubine Hua snorted disdainfully, "Since none of our people did this, then it must have been the Queen's old woman who did it. I thought she was so generous, sitting there smiling like a bodhisattva every day, but it turns out she can't stand Zhen Huan being the only favorite."
Ever since Hua Fei removed her filter for the emperor, her brain seems to have worked much better, and she hit the bull's eye right away.
An Lingrong also guessed that it was the Queen who did it: "The Queen would definitely not do it herself, but I don't know who will become her scapegoat this time."
The palace finally had something fun, and Concubine Hua was also curious: "Zhou Ninghai, go ask around. Anyway, we can have some fun this time."
-------------------------------------
In Jingren Palace.
Yu Ying'er knelt in front of the queen with a look of panic and fear: "Your Majesty, the emperor won't find out, will he? What should I do?"
The Queen cursed in her heart, "Idiot!" Zhen Huan smelled so bad, it would be strange if the Emperor didn't notice.
But his face was calm: "Yu Da Ying, you mean that the bad smell on Wan Changzai's body is your masterpiece?"
That's right, the queen never showed up from beginning to end, it was just Jianqiu who said a few ambiguous words. She never left any handle for others when doing things.
Yu Da Ying was confused by the Queen's words. She wanted to ask, "Isn't this the method you taught me?"
When the words were on the tip of her tongue, she realized that the Queen had never hinted anything to her. It was she who heard from Jianqiu that she had recently found an interesting prescription, so she took action against Zhen Huan without hesitation.
Yu Da Ying desperately hugged the Queen's thighs and said, "Please save me, Queen!"
Xia Dongchun was frightened by her: "You resorted to such a dirty trick yourself, and just now you wanted to get close to the Queen, and now you're asking the Queen to save you. How dare you be so shameless?"
To be honest, she usually just said a few rude words, and she didn't have the guts to hurt anyone. She originally thought that Yu Ying'er had the same personality as her, but she didn't know that Yu Ying'er was so bold and could hurt people at any time, and she even hurt the emperor's current favorite concubine.
When An Lingrong was the most favored, Xia Dongchun only went to her door and barked a few times. She had neither the courage nor the brains to harm anyone.
Concubine Qi felt that Xia Dongchun was her confidant. She also felt that Yu Ying'er was discrediting their small group and even the Queen's reputation as a wise woman.
Everyone knows that the Empress is the most decent, generous, tolerant and kind person. Wouldn't the Empress's behavior make the Emperor think that she is intolerant?
Although they themselves are indeed jealous of Zhen Huan.
Concubine Qi looked at the Queen's expression and dared not add fuel to the fire. She could only whisper in her heart.
"Alright!" The Queen stopped Xia Dongchun unhappily. They were still fighting at such a late hour. They had no tact at all. No wonder the Emperor didn't like her even though she had such a good face.
"Yu agreed to this matter and it was indeed a bit foolish. Wan Chang has indeed been favored recently, but you can't feel resentment towards her because of this, or even use such means on her."
Just then, Xiao Xiazi came to report that the Emperor asked Yu Ying'er to go to Sui Yuxuan. Yu Ying'er looked at the Queen with pleading eyes.
The queen seemed reluctant, "Forget it, I will go with you to Sui Yu Xuan to see what is going on."
Yu Ying'er looked at the Queen with gratitude in her eyes.
But what she didn't know was that the Queen's main purpose of this trip was not for her.
It would be best if Yu Ying'er could stay, but I wouldn't feel sorry if I couldn't keep the queen. I don't feel sorry at all for treating such a fool as a disposable queen.
Broken Yuxuan.
The emperor was a little surprised when he saw the queen: "Why are you here?"
After the empress bowed, she followed the emperor's lead and sat at the head of the table. "I have also heard that Concubine Wan did something wrong. When the emperor's people came, Yu promised to tell me about her stupid things in tears. I thought that I was not a victim, and that such a thing happened in the harem because of my mismanagement. I should apologize to the emperor, so I came with him."
Well, only the Queen and Yu Ying'er came. Concubine Qi and Xia Dongchun knew that the Emperor must be angry at this time. If they went there at this time, not only would they not be able to win his favor, but they might even be criticized, so they decisively went back to their own homes.
The emperor didn't even look at Yu Ying'er when he heard what the queen said. He just comforted her, "You had a headache a few days ago, and it's normal that you don't have enough energy. How can you blame this on you?"
There was no mention of Concubine Hua's mismanagement.
The Queen knew that it was impossible to take away Concubine Hua's power to assist in managing the six palaces, so she stopped talking about it and gave Yu Ying'er a look.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I was just jealous that Concubine Wan had taken away all your favor, so I played a little joke on her. I already know I was wrong, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me." Yu Ying'er knelt on the ground and cried.
The emperor was immediately annoyed when he heard her say it was just a joke: "If Concubine Wan eats the cakes you sent her for another four days, she will fall into a long sleep next spring. You actually said it was just a joke? How could there be such a heartless person like you in my harem?"
"What do you mean by long sleep?" Yu Ying'er was really confused, she didn't know about this.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. The cake will only make people smell bad for a while, it is harmless to the body. I just miss Your Majesty too much, I just want Your Majesty to pay more attention to me from Zhen Huan, I don't want to take Concubine Wan's life!"
The Queen also explained the reason for her: "It's Jianqiu's fault. Jianqiu originally learned this recipe from some ancient book that day and told the concubines to listen to it for fun. At that time, she only said that it would make people stink, and I just took it as a joke, but I didn't expect that Yu Ying, who came to pay his respects that day, would take it to heart."
"But what I agreed to is true. Jianqiu only mentioned the effect of stinking that day. Maybe someone else added other things to the pastry." The Queen was hinting that there was someone else who harmed Zhen Huan.
Su Peisheng had no choice but to repeat to the Queen what Imperial Doctor Liu had said when he diagnosed the effectiveness of this thing.
The Queen said this mainly to clear herself of suspicion. It would be great if Yu Ying'er could be rescued, but it would be even better if the blame could be put on Concubine Hua.
But it is obvious that the emperor believes that the queen has nothing to do with this matter, and he also believes that Yu Ying'er may have really accidentally caused Zhen Huan to become a living dead, but he does not believe that this matter has anything to do with other people.
The emperor doesn't believe Zhen Huan.
