Chapter 22: Harem scheming

Views:

Yu Wenhao returned to the mansion, the more he thought about it, the more things went wrong.

He saw her prick the emperor's grandfather with a needle, and he didn't know what was injected into it, whether it was poison or something, unknowable.

Although the emperor's grandfather is getting better, since the venom will make him lose his mind, it may also have other effects on people, such as control.

Yuan Qingling didn't understand this, could it be who taught her behind her back

Is her father waiting for Yuanpalong

He didn't have the guts, Yuan Balong was just a villain who was in the limelight.

Yu Wenhao thought of the more serious consequences. Yuan Qingling was his princess. If everything she did to the Supreme Emperor was exposed, he would definitely become the instigator behind the scenes, and no one believed him to stay out of the matter.

The more he thought about it, the more disturbed he became, so he ordered Tang Yang to pass Lu Ya and his mother over.

The two of them served Yuan Qingling up close, and she should not be able to conceal any abnormal behavior from her.

Lu Ya was originally accompanied into the palace, but when he was out of the palace, he was told that Yuan Qingling would stay in the Qiankun Hall to attend to the illness. He came back and told his mother, who was also surprised.

After hearing the call from the prince, the two went quickly.

"Lord!" Entering the study, the two saluted.

Yu Wenhao glanced at his mother, remembering about her grandson, and asked by the way, "How about Brother Huo?"

"Xie Wangye cares, there is nothing serious about it anymore."

Yu Wenhao was a little surprised, "It seems that Doctor Li is good at medical skills."

"Yes... Yes!" His mother hesitated and said.

Yuwenhao is good at looking into people's hearts and glanced at her lightly, "Is his mother hiding something from the king?"

His mother was startled, and said quickly: "Don't dare!"

"You have served this king since you were young, and have been loyal to this king. Presumably, you will not hide anything from this king." Yu Wenhao's voice was cold and his face was cold.

The mother felt a chill in her heart, and quickly knelt down, "The old slave is guilty, and the old slave did not deliberately conceal it."

The corner of Yu Wenhao's eyes raised slightly, his eyes flashed with cold light, "Say!"

The grandmother had to say: "In response to the prince, Brother Huo was not cured by Doctor Lee, but by the princess, but the princess told the old slave not to tell anyone about it."

Tang Yang said in astonishment: "Wang Hao? When did the princess know the art of medicine? At that time, the princess also used a knife on Brother Huo, so he was punished by the prince for thirty times.

The mother told the story of what Brother Huo said that night and what happened after Brother Huo was in critical condition, and then said ashamed: "It was the old slave who misunderstood the princess."

Yu Wenhao and Tang Yang looked at each other, with shock in their eyes.

"The king asked you, have you ever seen her have a box? That box..." Yu Wenhao was suddenly startled. She entered the tent at that time. She didn't bring the box, but after going in, the box didn't know where it came out. Later, when I saw her in the side hall, the box didn't follow her again.

"There is a box!" Lu Ya said hastily, "The box is filled with medicines, but those medicines have never been seen by the servants, and the box has never been seen before."

Yu Wenhao asked again: "Who has been looking for her recently? Or who did she go out to find?"

His mother shook her head, "Since the princess got married, few people have come to visit, and she hasn't been back to her natal house in recent months."

Tang Yang also said: "Indeed, the concubine's entry and exit are recorded, and the concierge has records. The subordinates have seen that the last time the princess returned to her natal house was three months ago, and after half a day, he returned angrily.

The mother felt that she had betrayed Yuan Qingling just now, and she felt a little sad, and she was very worried when she thought of her situation, and said: "Since the princess was beaten with a stick, she has not gone out. The prince told the servants not to take care of her, so She also handled her injuries by herself. Before taking Zijin Decoction, she had a high fever. Now the effect of Zijin Decoction should have subsided. I don’t know if she can sustain her in the palace."

Yu Wenhao remembered that when she was feeding the emperor's grandfather to the porridge, she was holding on to the pain and trembling all over. At that time, the efficacy of the Zijin Decoction had already faded.

He wasn't worried about Yuan Qingling, he was afraid that she would lose her courtesy in front of the palace and cause harm to the palace and concubine.

Tang Yang was silent for a while and said: "Master, in fact, the thirty-seventh board is indeed a bit stricter."

Ordinary little servants, under the 30th big board, have to rest for a few days to get up.

If the maidservant is weaker, I am afraid that she will lose her life.

The prince really hated the Yuan clan.

Yu Wenhao said coldly: "Those things she did just cost her life too much."

Had it not been for fear of implicating his mother and concubine, or damaging the royal face, he would have abandoned Yuanqing Lingxiu a long time ago.

The mother summoned up the courage to say: "The prince, the old slave feels that the princess seems to have changed back and forth."

Yu Wenhao raised his eyes to look at his grandmother, and he snorted in his heart, "How do you say?"

His mother said: "The princess was always at a disadvantage and domineering, but that day, Brother Firefighter, her attitude, her tone of voice... She actually said sorry to the old slave. This old slave didn't even think about it in the past. Dare to think about it."

His mother's words actually confirmed Yu Wenhao's conjecture in his heart.

Before entering the palace, she hit him with her head, and the words that popped out between her teeth, "You can't kill people, don't deceive them too much."

She would never speak like this, because she knew that she was wrong, so in the mansion, she only dared to be arrogant and domineering to the subordinates, and never dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.

However, when she said this today, she seemed to have suffered so much.

And her resistance in the side hall...

In her mind, her resolutely cold face appeared, echoing what she said in the side hall.

He must figure out what's going on.

Inside the Queen's Mingfeng Hall.

After King Qi came in to greet him, he first went to visit his eighth brother Yu Wenlu, leaving Chu Mingcui to talk with the queen in the hall.

Chu Mingcui was the queen's maiden niece. As soon as King Qi left, Chu Mingcui let all the people who were waiting in the hall go out.

Seeing her like this, the queen knew something was going on, and she straightened up and said, "What's the matter?"

"Auntie, Yuan Qingling was left in the Palace of Universe by the Supreme Emperor, do you know about this?"

The queen had just returned first, so she didn't know about it. When Chu Mingcui talked about it, she was slightly surprised, "Princess Chu? The emperor let her be sick?"

However, she waved her hand immediately, "Satisfaction with the sickness, also saves the palace is always running on both sides, these few days are really exhausted."

Chu Mingcui said, "My aunt is confused, why don't you think about it?"

The queen smiled, "My palace knows what you are afraid of, but don't worry, the fifth child is useless to do anything. Now the emperor hates him."

Chu Mingcui slowly shook his head, "Auntie, the Supreme Emperor is now sober, everything is different."

The queen was startled, her expression slowly becoming solemn.

Indeed, in the matter of establishing a prince, the emperor still values the meaning of the emperor.

The Supreme Emperor has always preferred the fifth, if Yuan Qing Ling Shiji took the opportunity to say something this time, the fifth would still have a chance.

but…

The queen raised her eyes, "Isn't the fifth child disgusting Yuan Qingling?"

Chu Mingcui laughed slowly, "Anyone who can be used can be tolerated no matter how disgusted it is."

The queen's heart sank and she immediately said: "The queen mother worked hard for the condition of the emperor, and she fainted a few times today. Princess Qi should take care of her in front of the queen mother, showing her filial piety."

Chu Mingcui stood up and said, "Daughter-in-law knows."
