Chapter 54
What is "raising a man for a thousand days and using a man for a while"?
What is "fortunately he came first"?
At this time, after hearing Yan Shu say this, and then looking at the sudden appearance of the little niece and the little girl from the Ni family, Yu Wenlan realized something.
... His beloved concubine did not invite him to come here to enjoy the scenery.
Looking at the innocent and clear eyes of her little niece, Yu Wenlan had no choice but to straighten Yan Shu before letting go, coughing and saying, "Why is Lan Yun here?"
But the little girl answered crisply, "Because the concubine Yi wants to Come and play with us."
Then he pulled the little girl from the Ni family to the two of them, and said, "And sister Xiangwan."
But seeing Ni Xiangwan saluting the two of them embarrassedly, he said, " See Your Majesty, see Empress Yi Concubine. It was the little princess who wanted to play with Empress Yi Concubine, so the queen mother and mother asked the ministers and daughters to accompany the little princess."
"That's right."
Yu Wenlan nodded, then raised her eyebrows to look at her. His own concubine said meaningfully, "Then why are everyone here together?"
Now he just wants to know, what medicine does she sell in the gourd?
What do you want to do with a few people together?
But seeing Yan Shu coughing and laughing, "Yes...I heard that the lotus flowers are blooming well in the past two days, and I wanted to invite Your Majesty to watch it together. Just before I went out, I heard that the little princess is coming again. My concubine, so I asked her to come here with me. Anyway, it's crowded to see the scenery."
Of course, when Ni Xiangwan came over, she didn't know it. That's it.
However, in the past few days, the eldest princess has not recovered, and the mother and daughter are still in the palace; hearing that Mrs. Mu is going to return to Mingzhou, the queen mother also kept their mother and son to live for a few more days.
The little girl from the Ni family plays with Lan Yun every day, and it is not surprising that they appear together at this time.
But the problem is...
Does Concubine Zhou want to use whoever is between them to frame the blame for herself?
Tsk tsk tsk, fortunately she didn't stay in her palace, otherwise if Concubine Zhou succeeded, something would happen to these two little girls, the queen mother, the eldest princess, and Madam Mu would all hate her.
Even if the emperor wanted to protect her, he might not be able to!
...
Hearing this silently, Yu Wenlan almost understood.
It seems that Lan Yun wanted to play with her, and the Zhou family daughter planned to take the opportunity to make trouble. She predicted the wind and asked him to prevent it?
Oh, I thought she really missed him...
Of course, if the Zhou family girl really intends to do this, then her choice is also good.
So after a brief disappointment in Yu Wenlan's heart, he nodded and said, "Alright, everyone is here, let's go together."
After speaking, he sat down in the pavilion.
However, the little girl Lanyun didn't want to enjoy the scenery. She looked around and immediately asked Yan Shu, "Miss Yibi, where is your talking bird?"
Yan Shu was stunned, the talking bird?
She was confused, "Isn't the county lord talking about a black wren? But I didn't raise a wren." But she
saw the little girl shaking her head seriously, "It's not black, it's colorful, Concubine Zhou said you There is a colorful bird that can speak human words, but it is beautiful."
Concubine Zhou?
Yan Shu paused, and instantly understood.
Heh, she was surprised that Lan Yun, who was so well-behaved, wanted to come and play with her.
Sure enough, Concubine Zhou attracted it.
She had to say to the little girl, "Concubine Zhou is joking with the county master. I don't have that kind of magical bird here. If there is, I will show it to the county master as soon as possible."
When the words fell, the little girl from the Ni family also persuaded from the side, "Niangniang Yi is right, Concubine Zhou is joking with the county master. I haven't seen such a bird before."
However, Lan Yun immediately pouted . Come.
The original curiosity was lost, and the little girl was a little unhappy.
But soon, she raised her eyes and looked around, saw a boat in the Taiye Pond, her eyes lit up again, and said with Yu Wenlan, "Uncle Huang, shall we go boating together?"
Yan Shu was taken aback. Before Yu Wenlan could speak, he immediately discouraged, "No, there are many mosquitoes in the lake, and the boat is unstable. What if it falls into the water? Let's play on the shore."
Mother, she is now But the wind was so loud, for fear that if these two little girls made a mistake, Concubine Zhou would be able to put the crime on her head.
So today, I didn't even dare to bring a plate of snacks or even a pot of tea.
She only hoped that she would sit like this for a quarter of an hour, and then it would be good to send Lan Yun and the little girl from the Ni family back to Ci'an Palace.
Fortunately, the little girl from the Ni family is quite sensible. After hearing her say this, she hurriedly persuaded Xiao Lanyun, "Miss Yibi is right, county master, just let's play on the shore."
Two wishes in a row did not come true, Xiao Lanyun said. The girl was naturally even more unhappy. Unwilling, she looked up at Yu Wenlan with the last glimmer of hope.
Unexpectedly, she saw her imperial uncle saying, "Yes, the lake is dangerous, so let's play in this pavilion for a while." The
little girl pouted, thinking what fun would it be to sit in this pavilion?
She looked at the lake again, and saw that the lotus blossoms were blooming, the green lotus leaves seemed to be densely supported on the water surface, and there were water birds and dragonflies flying in the middle, which was quite lively.
But the most fun is the green lotus pod in the middle of the lotus.
She really wants it.
But she dared not say it.
Because when Uncle Huang doesn't smile, he looks so fierce...
However, after a while, the little girl couldn't help it, and asked Yu Wenlan carefully, "But, what if Lan Yun wants a lotus pod..." The
little girl blinked, and there was a hint of fear in her anticipation. Pitiful.
Yu Wenlan thought for a while and said, "Then you sit here obediently, and I will ask someone to fold it for you."
That's it, the little girl nodded immediately and said yes, Yu Wenlan ordered Fuhai to find someone to fold the lotus pod. .
Yan Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, thinking that the lotus pods in the lake should be all right.
But even if something happened, the emperor asked someone to pick it up for his niece, and it had nothing to do with him.
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Well, it really has nothing to do with her.
And he doesn't believe it anymore, that Zhou's daughter can still make a fuss on the lotus pod in the lake?
Soon, a bunch of fresh lotus pods were plucked. Lan Yun's little girl immediately smiled, picked the largest lotus pod, and took out an apricot from her small cloth pocket and put it together for everyone to see. Sweetly said, "These are all for my mother, Lan Yun will give them to my mother."
Speaking of which, the eldest princess has been actively cooperating with the imperial doctor to treat the disease recently, and she is quite reformed, and her daughter is much better than before.
Therefore, Xiao Lanyun also cares about her mother in everything, and she wants to honor her mother with anything good.
The little girl is cute and cute, even with the apricot, Yan Shu couldn't help laughing, "Which tree does this apricot come from, how can it be as beautiful as the little princess?"
Xiao Lanyun giggled , "Sister Xiangwan helped me pick the ones in the imperial garden. Sister Xiangwan still ate it. She said it was delicious."
Hearing this, Ni Xiangwan explained embarrassedly, "On the way when I first came here, When the little princess saw that the apricots in the imperial garden were growing well, the courtier asked the palace servants that they could pick them, so she picked two, and the courtier couldn't help but taste one."
Of course, Ni Xiangwan was just a thirteen-year-old girl. She had been spoiled by her mother since she was a child and had a naive and lively personality. Picking an apricot was not an outrageous thing, not to mention that she had asked the palace staff beforehand.
But Yan Shu was stunned when she heard the words.
Today, she was afraid that the food of these two people would be manipulated, so she did not dare to prepare anything. However, she did not expect that they would pick apricots on their way and eat them?
Tsk, although I don't know if there is anything wrong with Xingzi, but she is now a soldier, and she is very nervous.
But I couldn't tell others to see it, so I could only try Ni Xiangwan, "Is that apricot sweet?"
Ni Xiangwan blushed and nodded with a smile, "It's really sweet, it's as sweet as smeared with honey. I have never eaten such delicious apricots outside the palace."
Yan Shu suddenly felt that something was wrong.
As far as she knows, the apricots in the imperial garden are of ordinary varieties, mainly for spring flower viewing. She has picked them and eaten them before, and they are not so sweet.
She then quietly asked the system, "Will there be a problem with Xingzi?" The
system said, "Yes, Concubine Zhou asked someone to put medicine on her."
What? ? ?
Yan Shu was taken aback.
However, before he could speak, he saw that Ni Xiangwan had a sudden meal, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell directly backwards.
Yan Shu's eyes widened, and she immediately called out, "Save Miss Ni, save Miss Ni!!!"
~
When the Queen Mother and Mrs. Mu got the news, Ni Xiangwan was already unconscious.
But when Fu Hai and others brought her back to Ci'an Palace, the little girl who was still alive and kicking just now had her eyes closed and her face turned purple, and there were still bloodstains on the corners of her mouth.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Mu shouted to the night, and almost fainted.
The Queen Mother also hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Xiang Wan?"
Fu Hai said, "Qi to the Empress Dowager, just now Your Majesty's Concubine Yi, the little princess and Miss Ni are enjoying flowers by the Taiye Pond. It's good, Miss Ni suddenly vomited blood, and His Majesty immediately passed on the imperial doctor and told the servants to hurry up. Miss Ni will bring it back."
Yu Wenlan, Yan Shu and Xiao Lanjun also arrived, and the Queen Mother hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Wenlan said in a deep voice, "I don't know, it just happened just now. Just talking, Miss Ni suddenly vomited blood and passed out." The voice
fell, but when he saw the imperial doctor entering the hall, he said again, "Call the imperial physician first."
Before leaving the bed, I asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Ni Xiangwan.
Seeing that the imperial doctor rolled the little girl's eyelids, felt her pulse again, and then touched the remaining blood on her lips with a silver needle, she quickly came to the conclusion, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, Miss Ni is here. It's poisoning."
Wen Yan Yuwenlan paused in her heart.
It really is that the apricot is poisonous.
The Empress Dowager was taken aback, "What? How can it be poisoned if it is good?"
Yan Shu hurriedly said, "Fang Caichen's concubine chatted with Miss Ni with Lan Yun, and heard that they had picked apricots in the imperial garden, and Miss Ni ate one. She said that Xingzi was very sweet, and she vomited blood and fainted after speaking."
Although she was out of suspicion this time, it was too late to know that it was too late to stop the little girl from the Ni family.
After all, the system will only warn her of danger, just like when the fake Xu Jieyu assassinated the emperor last time, it will not warn others.
And when Ni Xiangwan was picking apricots, she was rushing to Taiye Chi.
This Concubine Zhou, in order to harm her, came up with such a vicious method!
Just imagine, if it wasn't for Xiao Lanyun who wanted to keep apricots for her mother and ate the apricots on the spot like Ni Xiangwan, wouldn't the two innocent people be comatose together now?
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother frowned and looked at Yan Shu, and said, "Didn't Xiang Wan and Lan Yun go to find you today? Why did they pick apricots on the road to eat?
" The concubine doesn't know either."
Yu Wenlan hurriedly said, "I know that my mother is in a hurry, but today is the Taiye Pool where I arrived first, and Yi Concubine arrived later. Miss Ni and Lan Yun are the two of them. The last time they arrived, they had never met before. So why did Miss Ni eat apricots on the road, Yi Concubine did not know, and she should ask her who is the palace person who serves Miss Ni and Lan Yun."
—— The so-called concern is chaos. No matter how calm the Queen Mother is, when she is anxious at this time, she will not be able to distinguish right from wrong.
On the surface, it seemed that the emperor and Lan Yun could not harm Ni Xiangwan, so only Yan Shu was suspicious.
So today Yan Shu did the right thing, and when she found out that it was wrong, she immediately asked him to go to Taiye Pool together.
A little dull, Ni Xiangwan must have fainted in her palace.
If it was like that, how could the Queen Mother listen to her explanation when she was angry?
At this time, hearing Yu Wenlan's words, the queen mother regained some clarity. She immediately looked at the palace maids who followed Lan Yun in and said, "What's going on?
" He has always lived in Ci'an Palace, so he is also the palace servant of Ci'an Palace these days.
As soon as these words came out, the maids immediately knelt down and said, "The Queen Mother, please see clearly, the little county master has been playing in the imperial garden these days and has always wanted to pick the apricots there. Master pick, I don't want to pass by today, the apricot smells very sweet, and the little princess wants to pick it again, so Miss Ni picked two."
In this way, the relationship with Yan Shu was finally cleared.
Then the queen mother immediately looked at Lan Yun, who was being held by Yan Shu, and asked anxiously, "Can you eat that apricot?" The
little girl shook her head obediently, took out the uneaten fruit, and said, "Lan Yun thought I gave it to my mother, so I didn't eat it myself."
The queen mother was relieved, but she saw Yu Wenlan instructing the imperial doctor, "Maybe you can see if there
is something wrong with this fruit?" There is a pinhole on the fruit, and it is very likely that someone has poured something into it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately stepped forward to look, and sure enough, they saw a small pinhole at the stalk of the apricot.
If you smell it carefully, you can still smell a strong sweet fragrance, which is coming from the eye of the needle.
The imperial doctor thought for a while, and suddenly said in shock, "Is this the smell of aconitum nectar? This thing is extremely poisonous!"
What? Poisonous?
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Mu, who was standing beside her daughter, immediately cried to her daughter who was lying on the bed, "Wake up, Wan'er, wake up..." The
queen mother was anxious and angry, and immediately said, " Who on earth has such a vicious heart!"
Yu Wenlan said, "I will call the Inner Court Supervisor to investigate. No matter who it is, you must not be lightly forgiven. But the top priority is to treat Miss Ni first.
" Zhu Shu said, "Go and call Zhang Yuan to come here."
Zhu Shu should be right, and immediately went out to find someone.
——Thinking about such a poison, only the most powerful imperial doctor in the imperial hospital can cure it.
~~
The matter is urgent, but after a while, Zhang Shengkang was sentenced by the Taiyuan Hospital and rushed to the Ci'an Palace.
The queen mother didn't even ask him to do the ritual, and when she saw him, she said directly, "Go quickly, you must save Miss Ni."
- This is the heart of her best friend, and it is an innocent life, no matter what. Something happened.
Zhang Shengkang responded immediately, and hurriedly went to the bedside of the inner hall to diagnose and treat Ni Xiangwan.
At the same time, the source of the poison is also being traced.
Under the leadership of the palace servants, the inner court supervisor soon found the apricot tree in the imperial garden. When the apricots were about to be picked off and checked one by one, he saw similar needle eyes on the stems of most of the fruits.
The eye of the needle is extremely small, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.
And these pierced fruits also have a sweet fragrance, all oozing from the eye of the needle.
After the juice is squeezed out of these fruits, all ants and insects that touch the juice will die.
Or drop some of the juice in the water, but within a quarter of an hour, all the fish in the fish bowl will turn their stomachs.
After the judgment of three or four imperial physicians in the Taiyuan Hospital, they all confirmed that this toxin was aconite honey.
The nectar of the highly poisonous Aconitum flower.
Hearing the report, Yu Wenlan sneered, "Very good, the fruit trees in the imperial garden can also be poisoned by such secret means, what are you all doing to eat?"
Yao Shun, the director of the inner court, softened his legs and immediately Kneeling to the ground, "I have neglected my duty, please calm down your anger." The
Queen Mother also asked angrily, "What about the people at Siyuan? A good fruit tree is so poisonous, do they know that!"
Yao Shun hurriedly asked. He added, "Qi to the Empress Dowager, the servants have interrogated several gardeners in charge of the Imperial Garden in the Siyuan Department, but they all said they didn't know."
Seeing this scene, Yan Shu on the side sighed silently.
——Of course the people at the Siyuan Office didn’t know about it. After all, this matter was handled for Concubine Zhou by a palace servant from the Bird’s House at the Animal Breeding Office.
Tsk, I didn't expect Concubine Zhou to have reached such a stage that as long as she was willing to pay, there would still be people willing to work for her.
She is the only one in the hall who knows the truth. She can't be indifferent. After thinking about it, she tries to open her mouth and say, "Then who else walks around in the imperial garden other than the Siyuan? I want to give you a gift for every fruit. Poisoning must take time, and it can't be done at once, right?"
When the words fell, Yu Wenlan nodded and said, "I have to avoid people. Does anyone often go to the Imperial Garden at night?"
As soon as these words came out, Yao Shun, the chief supervisor of the inner court, opened his mouth and said immediately, "There are also birds. People from Bird Square, they often put birds for walk in the imperial garden, and some birds are kept at night."
Yu Wenlan said, "Why don't you go check it?"
Yao conformed, got up from the ground and brought People went out again.
About an hour later, he saw him returning again and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Xiao Linzi from Bird Square just now confessed that he did it." The
Empress Dowager immediately said, "Who asked him to do it?"
Yao Shunque After a while, he coughed and then said again, "Xiao Linzi explained that it was Zhao Laishun of Zhong Cui Palace who gave him one hundred taels of silver and told him to do it."
What?
Everyone in the Ci'an Palace had a meal.
Zhong Cui Palace?
Isn't that Zhou Fei's person?
The queen mother was also stunned for a moment, but then she said angrily, "Bring Zhao Laishun and his master to the Ai family!" The
palace people should be.
Not long after, Zhao Laishun and Concubine Zhou were brought along. At the beginning, Concubine
Zhou didn't see panic on her face, she only said, "I don't know why the Queen Mother asked her concubine to come here?"
While in a coma, the servants of Bird Square have already confessed that it was the servants in your palace who did it, do you know about this?"
Concubine Zhou looked surprised and said, "How could such a thing happen? Say... the Empress Dowager is asked to see clearly, the concubine and Miss Ni have no grievances and no grudges, how could they harm her?" The
Empress Dowager sneered, "Aijia is also thinking, you and Xiangwan have no grudges and no grudges, why would you harm her? Then today Who else told Lan Yun that there was a talking bird in Yi Concubine, and urged Lan Yun to go to Yi Concubine to play?"
At first she thought that this niece was joking with the little girl, but she did not expect that this niece of hers was so sinister.
However, as soon as these words came out, Concubine Zhou quibble and said, "The concubine is just a joke, how do you know that Lan Yun will take it seriously? But you can't just rely on the concubine like this? How does the concubine know that Lan Yun and Miss Ni will meet? Going to find Yi Concubine together? It’s just a coincidence, you can’t just judge your concubine’s guilt just by coincidence, right?” ——She
managed to carefully plan a scene, spending money to find someone, and asking someone to follow the two Little girl, mastering the place where she often plays every day, and even told people to hide the remaining poison near the Ganlu Palace. As long as the two little girls arrive at the Ganlu Palace, the slut Li Yanshu will be speechless...
Obviously A foolproof thing, but why did those two little girls not go to the Ganlu Palace, but went to the Taiye Pool, and the emperor was there?
But in any case, it must not fall on his own head now.
The queen mother is always her own aunt. She doesn't believe that her aunt will convict her natal family for the adopted girl of the Ni family!
Yu Wenlan, who listened silently by the side, did not understand anything?
But he couldn't just make himself understand, he had to make the Queen Mother understand.
Fortunately, at this moment, he saw Xiao Shunzi hurried from outside and reported to him, "Your Majesty, Zhao Laifu, who was hiding something outside the Ganlu Palace, has confessed. It was Concubine Zhou who asked him to do this."
What?
Everyone has a meal.
Outside the Nectar Hall?
And that Zhao Laifu was not Zhao Laishun's younger brother. The two of them worked together in Zhongcui Palace.
Concubine Zhou was stunned.
Zhao Laifu suddenly disappeared. Could it be that he was arrested by the emperor's people?
However, before she could understand, she heard the Queen Mother say in a cold and angry voice, "Pull these people down and torture them. Aijia needs to know who has such a vicious heart to call them such harm!"
Everyone should be.
~ ~ The
queen mother said so, the attitude has been obvious.
It seems that this time, she was completely angry, and she decided to stop caring about her family and her family, and to give Mrs. Mu an explanation.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for both Zhao Laifu and Zhao Laishun's brothers to confess that it was Concubine Zhou who instructed them to do so, and the purpose was to frame the blame for Yibi.
However, although the truth has come to light, the little girl of the Ni family who was implicated is still not awake.
After Zhang Shengkang arrived at Ci'an Palace, he immediately diagnosed and treated Ni Xiangwan. He administered acupuncture and sealed acupoints again, causing him to spit out some black blood soon. Awake.
The Empress Dowager was anxious and asked, "Why is Xiang Wan still awake?"
Zhang Shengkang frowned and said, "My lady doesn't know, this aconite honey is highly poisonous, and there has been a period of time between Ni's poisoning and her poisoning. Time, I'm afraid this poison has already spread to the heart."
Even if you don't know medical skills, this sounded very serious, and the Queen Mother asked anxiously, "Then how confident are you?
" I don't dare to hide it, I'm afraid I only have five points of confidence, but even if I can rescue Miss Ni, my mind... I'm afraid it will be damaged."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Mu almost fainted.
The queen mother also said urgently, "How good is this!"
That damn girl, I really want to cut her with a thousand swords!
Seeing this scene, Yan Shu also sighed in her heart, and couldn't help questioning the system, "As a harmless good-for-nothing, how could you be so desperate? Even if you told me half an hour earlier, this little girl doesn't have to suffer from this crime! 】
system,【? ? ? I am yours but not hers. I tell you so many murders, arson, robbery and theft every day. Are you busy? Besides, even if you knew half a day earlier, Concubine Zhou had poisoned the apricot tree this week. Will the Empress Dowager resolutely deal with her own niece? ]
[The court is inherently cruel, if you die or I die, even if the Bodhisattva comes down, it will not be able to control so many wolves, tigers and leopards. Besides, it's not a blessing for Sai Weng to lose his horse. This little girl may get something unexpected after this encounter. 】
Yan Shu was about to vomit blood, 【What else can you gain if you can't wake up? 】
But just thinking of this, she suddenly realized one thing -
if Zhang Shengkang can't cure it, it may not be possible for others to cure it!
She hurriedly said to the emperor, "I wonder if that Jiang Yuyi is sure..."
Yu Wenlan also thought of this person, and immediately nodded, and said to Fu Hai, "Let's pass Jiang Nianqi." Fu Hai responded
and immediately sent someone to Taichung. In the hospital, it didn't take long before I saw Royal Doctor Jiang rushing there.
In fact, the queen mother is still a little unbelievable. His medical skills are better than Zhang Shengkang, but there is no way at this time, so he can only ask him to diagnose and treat the little girl of the Ni family.
Zhang Shengkang could only step aside for the time being and watch from the sidelines.
——It was only recently that he heard that such a person appeared in the Taiyuan Hospital to help the eldest princess in the treatment of the poison of soft affection.
However, the softness powder can cure, this aconitum honey is different.
He has lived for more than fifty years, and he has never heard of anyone who can solve such a poisonous thing.
So he wanted to see how this person surnamed Jiang was going to deal with it.
Of course, except for Zhang Shengkang, everyone in the hall was also paying close attention to Jiang Yuyi's every move.
After all, this is probably Ni's only hope.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, they saw that Jiang Yuyi took a look at the little girl of the Ni family and quickly came to the conclusion, "This girl has been poisoned by aconitum, which is indeed more troublesome." Is it
more troublesome?
There seems to be room for this?
The queen mother immediately asked, "Is there a way to cure it?"
She saw Jiang Yuyi nodded and said, "Yes, but I don't know if this girl's close relative is still there? The minister will use the blood of his close relative to make medicine. "A
loved one?
As soon as these words came out, Yan Shu and Yu Wenlan looked at Madam Mu at the same time.
