Yun Chang squinted her eyes, sure enough, it was as expected. When she met the cat just now, Yun Shang knew that it seemed to be another good show.
However, this seems to be the handwriting of Concubine Ming. Concubine Ming has been ups and downs in this palace for so many years, she must be calm, and she doesn't seem to be someone who will take action easily.
Could it be...
Thinking about it, Yun Chang lowered her head and raised her sleeves to sniff, coughed a few times, then raised her head and said, "It seems that there is indeed a strange smell, but I have always been in poor health, except for the smell of medicine. I am used to having other incense, and it is easy to cough when I smell a strong fragrance, besides, the imperial physician seemed to say that this fragrance will make people restless? Why should I put such an uncomfortable fragrance on my body?"
"This..." Hearing this, the imperial physician showed a troubled look, but secretly looked at Concubine Ming who was sitting high above her.
Yun Chang smiled slightly, "Just now from Qingxin Palace to Meiying Pavilion, Chang'er didn't even ask what strange fragrance she had on her body, it should have been contaminated just now, just now, Chang'er only touched the cat of the empress dowager That's it, Chang'er remembers, just now the empress dowager also touched it, and later, the mothers beside the empress dowager also touched it, this smell is so evil, it must be bad for your health, the imperial doctor, hurry up and see the empress dowager and the empress dowager Does that nanny have a scent on her?"
Seeing that the imperial physician hesitated, Yun Chang smiled and said, "Is the imperial physician afraid of offending the imperial concubine?"
The imperial doctor nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes."
Yun Chang lowered her head, bit her lips and pondered for a moment, then turned her head to Emperor Ning and said, "Father, although Chang'er is weak, she is better than young, so it's fine to be tainted with such a fragrance, but Empress Dowager... otherwise, In this way, how about asking some concubines to smell it?"
Emperor Ning nodded when he heard the words, "Well, what Shang'er said is very true." Then he glanced at the concubines in the pavilion, pondered for a moment before saying, "Meng Jieyu, Ying Jieyu, Lan Guiyu Concubine, let the three of you go."
Concubine Ming opened her mouth slightly, but did not speak. The three concubines walked up to the main seat, took a deep breath, and walked to Yunshang. Yunshang smiled and raised her hands for them to smell. After a while, Qin Meng came out first, and said, "My concubine asked, Concubine Ming and the nanny next to her both have a fragrance, which is the same as that of Princess Huiguo. Moreover, there is another thing that is a little strange, Huiguo The princess has only one sleeve that is scented."
Yun Chang smiled, raised her right hand and said, "It should be this hand, I'm afraid Father didn't know, just now when Chang'er was on the way to the banquet, suddenly a cat rushed out and knocked Chang'er to the ground , Chang'er saw that the cat's coat color was very good, it should belong to some noble person in the palace, so she brought it here, and as soon as she arrived here, Fumei recognized that it was the ingot in the palace of the empress dowager. I gave it back to the empress dowager, she said that Yuanbao's hair was very comfortable to touch, so she asked Chang'er to touch it, and it happened to be this hand."
After Yunshang finished speaking, before Emperor Ning could speak, he heard Concubine Ming's faint voice, "Princess, what you mean is that the Ai family drugged Yuan Bao, and it is estimated that you will be framed for it?"
Yun Shang quickly shook her head and said, "The concubine misunderstood, and Shang'er is naturally to blame for such a thing. After all, Shang'er rescued the cat. Later, Chang'er will ask the maid to take the cat out of the palace." The best wound medicine is given to Fumei, but now that the father is investigating the truth of the matter, naturally Shang'er should explain the matter clearly so that the father can make a better judgment. Look, Chang'er This is what is said in many scriptures, so I learned it, and I don’t know if it is useful.”
Yunshang said again, "Shang'er knows that it must not belong to the Empress Dowager Ming, and Fumei is the niece of the Empress Dowager Tai. How can a aunt harm her own niece? I just feel that this harmful person has decided to kill her." It is really audacious to be on the head of the empress dowager."
Kiss my niece... Yun Chang hides the playfulness in her eyes, although she doesn't know if this was really done by Concubine Ming, it is always correct to say that, if it is really Concubine Ming, before doing this, can Concubine Ming do it with Li Fuyi had discussed it, but no matter what, Li Fuyi was pushed out as a pawn. Li Fuyi has always held grudges, even if he didn't say it on the surface, he probably secretly made a note of Ming Taifei in his heart.
Emperor Ning didn't speak all the time, but secretly watched the undercurrent among the crowd, a flash of impatience flashed in his eyes, these women, it's okay to fight on weekdays, but today they almost hurt the child in Shujin's belly, he didn't care However, a small warning should also be given.
"Come on, catch me a cat." Emperor Ning raised his voice.
cat? Everyone looked at each other, what is Emperor Ning doing
Concubine Ming frowned and said, "What is the emperor doing?"
Emperor Ning smiled when he heard the words, "I just thought that the imperial doctor said just now that the scent will make people irritable, and it will make the cat irritable and lose its nature, so I want to see how this cat smells. What if a little scent drives you crazy?"
Hearing the words, the imperial physician trembled slightly, but didn't say much, just stood aside, silently took out the medicine and applied it to Fumei.
After a while, the attendant walked in with a gray cat in his arms, "Your Majesty, the cat is here."
Emperor Ning nodded, "Hold it to Nanny Yu, I just saw that it was Nanny Yu who hugged the cat all the time."
Hearing this, the attendant hurriedly carried the cat to the mammy next to Concubine Ming. The mammy lowered her head, glanced at the cat, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.
After a long time, the cat only meowed a few times, and seemed a little irritable. It raised its head from Mammy Yu's arms and meowed a few times, with more than twenty pairs of eyes staring at it, Mammy Yu moved. He didn't dare to move, so he had to stand upright. After about a cup of tea, the cat jumped out of Nanny Yu's arms, licked its own feet, barked twice and ran away.
Emperor Ning hooked the corner of his mouth, "It seems that, apart from being a little restless, he is not as aggressive as Cai Yuanbao just now... The appearance of Cai Yuanbao just now is a bit frightening."
Concubine Ming leaned back on the chair, her gaze stayed on Yunshang's face for a moment before she said, "Perhaps Yuan Bao was tampered with."
Emperor Ning smiled, "It's not maybe, it's definitely."
Yun Chang walked up to Emperor Ning with a smile and said, "Your Majesty should really investigate this matter, otherwise, Fumei's injuries will be for nothing. Chang'er can see clearly that the wound on Fumei's neck The wound is a bit deep. Just now the imperial physician said that the wound is very difficult to heal if the spice is on the wound. It would be a pity if a beauty like Fu Mei, who I still feel pity for, has a scar on such an obvious place on her neck. Well, I can still cover it up in winter, but when I show my neck in summer, it's just..."
Yun Chang sighed slightly, and a bit of interest flashed in her eyes. Who doesn't love beauty, especially in the harem, a place where Israel is full of sex.
As expected, a flash of panic flashed in Fumei's eyes, she gritted her teeth secretly, but pretended not to care and said, "I thank the princess for her concern, the princess is serious, it's not that serious, it's just a minor injury."
"The princess's words awakened the concubine. Since the imperial doctor said that Fumei's wound was covered with spices, the wound was scratched by the cat's paw. Let people see what shouldn't appear on the cat's paw. Something. Just now, I also noticed that although the ingot was carried by the maid next to the princess earlier, but the maid has no smell at all, presumably it was contaminated after she came." A soft and somewhat cold voice came, Yun Chang followed the voice and looked over, and saw a woman in cherry red frowning, looking at the wound on Fumei's neck, and said indifferently.
It's... Ying Jieyu...
While talking, another young man dressed as an imperial doctor came in, and said to everyone, "Your Majesty, I have just carefully checked the cat and found that there are some smudges in the cat's paws and in the middle of the fur." Weichen got some strange powder, took a closer look, it should be just some common spices, it wouldn't make the cat go crazy, but Weichen saw a small hole in the middle of the cat's front paw, if you don't look carefully, it must be The invisible ones should have been stabbed by sharp objects like silver needles, Wei Chen guessed that that was the reason why the cat suddenly went berserk and hurt people."
"Oh?" Emperor Ning turned his head to look at Concubine Ming, "Concubine Mother, if the cat was injured by a sharp object, the cat must have become agitated immediately after being injured, which hurt people, but at that time, it seemed that Madam Yu Holding ingots?"
Upon hearing this, Yumai immediately fell to her knees, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged by this servant, how can this servant take out a sharp weapon and stab Yuanbao's claws silently in front of the eyes of all the masters with nothing in their hands? "
Concubine Ming did not answer, but looked at the young imperial physician who had just entered and said, "Emperor, this imperial physician seems to have a serious face..."
Emperor Ning smiled and said, "Mother and concubine may not know, this is the very famous ghost doctor in Ningguo, one or two of the imperial doctors in this palace are mediocre, whoever is injured or sick, they will give some medicine tremblingly , It’s really meaningless, Shujin’s belly is getting bigger and bigger, and there have been no concubines in this palace who have been pregnant for many years, so I naturally have to be more careful, so I made a special trip to ask King Jing to invite the genius doctor Guigu to sit in the palace.”
"Oh? Is the miracle doctor in rumors so young?" Dowager Ming sneered, "Since everyone thinks that Nanny Yu is the one who has the best chance of attacking, let's have someone do a search and see. Look at Nanny Yu, she has what the imperial physician said is a sharp weapon like a silver needle."
Emperor Ning nodded and said, "It's not that I suspect Madam Yu, it's just that everyone here is suspected. Since everyone is suspected, let's search them all."
A few women in black came out from the darkness, Emperor Ning beckoned, and those women in black stepped forward and searched everyone one by one, even Concubine Ming was no exception. The woman in clothes backed away, "Your Majesty, no."
Yun Chang's eyes lightly swept over behind Nanny Yu, where there was a green-glazed vase. Just now, when everyone's eyes were on her, Yun Chang faintly heard a soft sound coming from the vase. The sound of the ground was very soft, so light that it was almost imperceptible. Yun Chang smiled slightly, but did not speak.
"That's all, nothing at all, how did the cat get hurt?" Emperor Ning snorted, with a bit of coldness in his eyes.
Li Fuyi thought for a while, then said softly, "Your Majesty, according to my concubine, perhaps Yuan Bao was injured when he was running in the snow. The place where the princess found Yuan Bao was the bamboo forest. The thin bamboo strips in the bamboo forest It's not that there are no children, I'm afraid it was Yuma Mama who accidentally touched Yuan Bao's wound when she was holding Yuan Bao, and Yuan Bao was in pain, so she rushed out."
This explanation seems to make sense.
"There is some truth in what Fumei said. Perhaps Yuan Bao was running around and accidentally knocked over a nobleman's spice box, stained his body with spices, accidentally stepped on a sharp object, and injured his leg..." Yun Chang raised his eyebrows lazily, and then said, "It's just that these two are careless, and it sounds like it's too unusual a coincidence.
Emperor Ning naturally knew the reason behind it, but since there were no serious consequences in the harem, some things could be passed with one eye open and closed. Although a little displeased, it was only mild He said, "It's just that this ingot belongs to the mother's concubine's palace. The servants are not able to take care of it. It is hard to absolve them of the blame. Each person will be fined three months' salary. Let's end today's banquet. There is a smog in the air, Chang'er, come with me." Walk."
Yunshang nodded, followed Ningdi, and walked outside. The snow outside stopped, and there was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms. Yunshang took a breath, only feeling that the fragrance of plum blossoms accompanied by the breath of snow was extremely clear .
Emperor Ning didn't speak, only heard the sound of "creak" and "creak" stepping on the snow. After walking for a long time, he came to the bamboo forest and heard Emperor Ning whisper, "Is this where the cat fell down?"
Yun Chang heard the words, smiled slightly and said, "Yes, but it surprised Chang'er."
Emperor Ning stopped, turned his head to look at Yunshang and said, "Who do you think is responsible for today's matter?"
Yun Chang squinted her eyes, and her father stopped her just to ask herself this? Father... Yun Chang was a little hesitant. At the beginning of her rebirth, she really wanted to let her father be her backer, but later on, she found out more and more that her father was never happy with this harem matter. Participation, and even though he kept saying that his favorite was the mother concubine, it was also good for other concubines. It really is the emperor's nature to be merciful everywhere. Yunshang gradually began to understand the mood of her mother and concubine, and gradually alienated Emperor Ning.
Thinking of this, Yunshang smiled and said, "Since there is no evidence, and everyone says it is Yuan Bao's own fault, then it is Yuan Bao's own fault. Father, the things in the harem, sometimes, are originally You don’t need to see it too clearly, and you don’t need to delve into it, if you dig deeper, the palms and backs of your hands will be full of flesh, and the one who will be sad in the end must be the emperor.”
Emperor Ning was a little surprised that Yunshang would say such a thing. He thought that Yunshang would definitely say that it belonged to Concubine Ming if he asked him about the last words Yunshang said just now.
Emperor Ning pondered for a moment, thought about Yun Shang's words carefully, and then sighed quietly, "You can see it better than anyone else, but with your temperament, if you get married in the future, I'm afraid you will suffer. .”
Yun Chang heard the words and said with a smile, "Father, Chang'er is a princess. With Father's backing, who would dare to suffer for Chang'er? Besides, Abbot Wuna often said that sometimes, suffering is a blessing."
"A loss is a blessing, but only a wise man like Abbot Wu Na can say such a thing." Emperor Ning smiled, "Would you like to go and see your concubine mother?"
Yunshang shook her head, "No, you have seen it too, Father, Chang'er has a tight eye now, and the mother and concubine are pregnant with dragon heirs, so there are already many pairs of eyes watching. The concubine mother is not good. Besides..." Yun Shang pondered for a moment before saying, "Shang'er has had little contact with the concubine mother since she was a child, and she doesn't know what to say when she sees the concubine mother..."
Emperor Ning was silent for a moment, then sighed quietly, "It's my fault."
After separating from Emperor Ning, Yunshang returned to Qingxin Hall, Qianyin closed the door, and said in a puzzled way, "Princess, you must have heard it just now, the old woman obviously threw the needle into the vase, why don't you speak out?"
Yun Chang smiled and shook her head, "Nobody heard it, so naturally we shouldn't have heard it either. Even if the royal father's dark guards with high martial arts skills say they don't exist, then there won't be any..."
Qian Yin was taken aback, raised her hand and said, "Oh, this servant knows, the emperor is deliberately covering up!"
"Shhh..." Yun Shang made a silent gesture, "Don't yell, you can't talk nonsense."
Qian Yin hurriedly closed the voice, leaned close to Yun Shang and said softly to Yun Shang and Qin Yi, "Princess, just now, a little maid secretly slipped a note to the servant while serving the dishes."
"Oh? What note?" Yun Shang was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly remembered something, "Oh, you have been by my side for too long, I forgot, you are in the palace, but the queen sent you to ban Qin Meng Could it be that the queen has ordered something?"
Qianyin nodded, "The princess guessed right, but it's not the empress who is recuperating. She asked the servants to lead the princess to the gazebo in the imperial garden at Sishi three days later."
"Oh? After three days, what's going to happen?" Yun Shang thought for a while. In her previous life, she seemed to enter the palace to announce the good news to the queen three days later. It's just that in this life, I never got married, let alone conceived, and in the previous life, the queen was not imprisoned, so everything has changed, so what will happen three days later
Qianyin shook her head, "I don't know, and it's not written on the note, I just asked my servant to take the princess there, princess, look..."
Yun Chang smiled slightly and said, "The soldiers came to cover the water and the earth, and this princess wants to see what kind of drama the empress has prepared for this princess this time. By the way, you send a letter to let people outside Keep an eye on Princess Huajing. If Princess Huajing calls the doctor, or sends someone to grab some medicine, try to stop it. If she calls the doctor, she will bribe the doctor in advance. In the end, let Huajing drink the medicine in his mouth, all of which are anti-abortion medicines."
