"Lengxiang?" Emperor Xiyue frowned tightly, "How could the queen smell Lengxiang?"
Yu Yumo immediately knelt on the ground when she heard the words, "Your Majesty, since Madam was diagnosed with pregnancy, she has carefully checked her food, clothing, clothing, and business, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."
Nanny Yu is an old man who has been with Empress Zhao. She has served Empress Zhao for most of her life and is loyal. Emperor Xiyue naturally would not doubt Nanny Yu.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong with your Majesty?" Mrs. Zhao walked in with a worried expression.
Doctor Li's face suddenly changed three points, just happened to be captured by Emperor Xiyue, "The queen was stimulated, and she felt a little uncomfortable, but it's not a serious problem. She has rested now."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao withdrew her steps, "Yes, since the empress has already rested, I will take my leave."
Emperor Xiyue hummed lightly, and when he left, he cast his eyes at Imperial Physician Li, "Let's talk."
Imperial Physician Li was stunned, and immediately said, "Returning to the emperor, I just noticed that Mrs. Zhao has a faint cold fragrance on her body. After a long time, it will disappear with the wind and it is difficult to detect."
"How is this possible!" Madam Yu was shocked, and quickly realized her gaffe, and quickly kowtowed, "This old servant deserves to die, I beg the emperor to forgive me."
Emperor Xiyue said in a deep voice, "This matter is not allowed to be revealed, let alone the queen, you know!"
Doctor Li and Nanny Yu immediately nodded in agreement, Emperor Xiyue waved his hand, looked at the sleeping Empress Zhao, and then left Fengqi Palace.
A birthday party broke up unhappily, and the Zhao family's reputation plummeted as a result, which suffered a lot.
"How can such a thing happen? Your Highness is really fascinated by the vixen. His elbows are turned outwards, and he can't tell the inside from the outside."
Mrs. Zhao walked back and forth in the room anxiously, cursing and swearing.
Mrs. Zhao sat on the chair in a daze, thinking about something in her mind.
"Enough, isn't it messy enough? Talking about being the crown prince in private is a capital offense!" Zhao Zihan was in a bad mood and yelled at Mrs. Zhao angrily.
Mrs. Zhao shrugged displeasedly, found a chair and sat down, apparently restless, looked up at Mrs. Zhao who had been silent all this time, and boldly said, "I don't know why, I always remember that something is wrong with Your Highness..."
One sentence brought back Mrs. Zhao's thoughts. Mrs. Zhao's sharp eyes were fixed on Mrs. Zhao, thinking that Mrs. Zhao had discovered something.
"Since having Princess Yihe, His Highness's temperament has changed greatly. If it was in the past, he would not be so disobedient to the emperor and the empress." Mrs. Zhao murmured to herself again.
Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a stern face, "Don't let people hear you by saying stupid things. Now the Zhao family is on the cusp. Before it is completely resolved, everything is wrong."
Mrs. Zhao nodded, and fell silent again.
"Grandmother, how is Auntie?" Zhao Qinglin asked suddenly.
Mrs. Zhao sighed when she heard the words, and her voice eased three minutes, "When I went, the empress had already rested. There are so many imperial doctors in the palace guarding, it should be fine."
Zhao Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, I didn't hurt Princess Yihe at all today, but I was calculated. Princess Yihe may not be able to let Qinglin go..."
Mrs. Zhao spoke again, a little worried, and she didn't know why Princess Chaoyi was so negligent, and she actually told about Zhao Qinglin's phoenix fate.
It's no wonder that Princess Yihe can let Zhao Qinglin go, besides, the fact that Princess Yihe is in love with Jue Zixiang has not yet been settled.
Mrs. Zhao thought about it and still couldn't figure out which link she lost today. It was obviously well arranged and foolproof, so how could something go wrong.
Mrs. Zhao glanced at Mrs. Zhao angrily. It was true that which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted. Mrs. Zhao's words made the whole atmosphere awkward again. Mrs. Zhao wished she could sew Mrs. Zhao's mouth shut with a needle.
"Grandmother, after thinking about it, Qinglin thinks that Princess Yihe has already prepared for today's trip. As a princess from another country, she has only entered the palace very few times. Without His Highness's help, the two servant girls would not have escaped so easily. "
Zhao Qinglin was thinking about this all the way, except for Zhao Zun's help, Zhao Qinglin couldn't think of anything else.
"No, if His Highness knew about it in advance, why did he let Princess Yihe enter the palace, and also deliberately fell out with the empress and the Zhao family."
Mrs. Zhao shook her head, at most Zhao Zun would not marry Zhao Qinglin, there is no need to offend the Zhao family.
Zhao Qinglin bit her lip, really unable to figure out the key point.
Only Mrs. Zhao's face was slightly pale, and an idea came to her mind, which disappeared before she could catch it. Mrs. Zhao was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
"All the maids and wives who entered the palace today have been dealt with. Don't be careless about this matter. Just wait for news from the palace."
Mrs. Zhao ordered again in a deep voice, "Without my permission, none of you are allowed to move around, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and denying others!"
Seeing Mrs. Zhao's anger, they did not dare to say more, and they knew the seriousness of the matter.
Zhao Qinglin lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves. The prince's wedding is only ten days away. It's a pity to miss such a good opportunity this time.
Is it true that, as Master Banruo said, he is destined to be oppressed by Concubine Xiao for a lifetime
She is really not reconciled!
Back in the yard, Zhao Qinglin sat in front of the window in a daze and meditated. There was a loud bang, which disrupted Zhao Qinglin's thoughts, and Zhao Qinglin frowned in displeasure.
I saw several servant girls around the door, all of them lowered their heads, the one in front of them was obviously pushed out by someone.
"The servant deserves to die, the servant didn't do it on purpose, please forgive me."
The little maid was trembling, she secretly raised her eyes to look at Zhao Qinglin from the corner of her eyes, and soon lowered her head again, not daring to breathe.
Zhao Qinglin raised her eyes, "Why are you peeking at the door?"
The little maid was stunned for a moment, biting her lips tightly and feeling a little at a loss.
"What are you still doing in a daze, Miss is asking a question, you all are so courageous, you have to look at the color before answering!" Huiju frowned angrily.
"Big sister, what's the matter?" Zhao Yanlin walked in, followed by a few girls of the same age, all of whom were second and third.
Zhao Yanlin is the second wife's concubine, two years younger than Zhao Qinglin, with a lively personality and a charming and charming complexion, far less favored than Zhao Qinglin, and there is sarcasm in her eyes at this moment.
"Why did the second younger sister come here suddenly?" Zhao Qinglin said calmly, but the fingertips in her sleeves turned white from being held.
"The few of us just came from the teahouse, and we came here specially to see the elder sister." Zhao Yanlin looked gloating, "It turns out that the Zhao family is so blessed that there is a girl who is born with a phoenix. I'm overjoyed."
"Second sister, those people today can say that these eight achievements are wrong. Your highness is going to get married soon. The crown princess is noble and beautiful. The two are a perfect match. If the eldest sister wants to marry into the prince's mansion, she can only wear clothes. A pink wedding dress…”
"Third sister, don't talk nonsense. Master Banruo is a master of Taoism. She has never made any mistakes in divination for so many years. It's a pity that the eldest sister and Princess Yihe collided. Originally, as long as the eldest sister enters the Prince's Mansion, wait patiently. In the future It may also be the same as my aunt."
The corners of Zhao Yanlin's mouth curved when she heard this, Zhao Qinglin frowned and looked at Zhao Yanlin, only to hear Zhao Yanlin oops, and said worriedly, "Big sister, the matter of being born with a phoenix has been known, what do you think Princess Yihe will think, Concubine Yun in the palace is blessed by the Empress Dowager, so she never had a chance to step into the Prince's Mansion, just in case..."
Zhao Yanlin hesitated to speak, her tone was full of sarcasm.
Zhao Qinglin's face darkened, and she squinted at Zhao Yanlin. Although Zhao Yanlin couldn't say anything good, it was undeniable that what she said was the truth.
Xiao Yu will definitely not let herself go, and maybe she will take advantage of this opportunity to find a way to get rid of herself. Zhao Qinglin's heart is fluttering.
"Second sister, everyone outside is spreading the news about today's events, saying that our Zhao family deliberately framed Princess Yihe by unscrupulous means, will it implicate us..."
The third girl, Zhao Zilin, pretended to be scared, and Zhao Yanlin frowned, "Don't worry, the Zhao family is His Highness's maternal ancestral family after all, His Highness always has a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and will not affect the innocent."
As she said that, Zhao Yanlin took a step closer, and the smile on her lips deepened, "It's just that the future of the big sister is worrying. In case the emperor gets angry, he wants to explain to Princess Yihe, and ask the sister to go to the temple to bring her hair to practice atonement, or to match her at will. Let Princess Yihe feel at ease..."
"Snapped!"
Zhao Qinglin stood up in a rage, and slapped Zhao Yanlin, her whole face was pale and trembling with anger.
"Shut up, it's not your turn to intervene in my affairs!"
Zhao Yanlin covered her face and stared at Zhao Qinglin, smiled coldly, caught off guard and gave Zhao Qinglin a backhand slap, knocked Zhao Qinglin back to the chair and sat down, and cast a cold glance at Zhao Qinglin.
"Damn! Do you still think that you are the eldest daughter of the Zhao family who is superior and receives all the favors? I forgot to tell you that just now my grandmother has asked my mother to be the housekeeper and ordered my aunt to reflect on herself, hmph!"
In the past, Zhao Yanlin would not have dared to slap her, but now she has no scruples, and she wished she could strangle Zhao Qinglin to death.
Zhao Qinglin's face was swollen from the beating, and she bit her lips tightly and looked at Zhao Yanlin, "Really, grandma knows that the second sister wants the big house to be unlucky, and that everything will be damaged, so what's the benefit to the second sister, stupid!"
Zhao Yanlin's complexion changed, and she wanted to say something, but Zhao Zilin pulled her sleeves, followed her gaze, and saw Mrs. Zhao standing at the door with a gloomy face.
Zhao Yanlin is like a proud peacock, she is not afraid of Mrs. Zhao at all, "Since the eldest aunt is here, I will take a step ahead, big sister, don't get angry, go to the temple and wait for fifteen years, there is still a chance to make a comeback .”
After speaking, Zhao Yanlin left the house with someone.
"Crack!" Zhao Qinglin angrily smashed a fine inkstone on the table to pieces, her chest heaving up and down in anger.
Seeing this, Huiju immediately left the house with the little maid.
"Qing Lin..."
Zhao Qinglin's eyes turned hot, "Mother, what Zhao Yanlin said is right, Princess Yihe will never let her go, what can I do with her?"
Zhao Qinglin's taut heart completely collapsed, and she felt wronged and helpless like a child.
"What did my daughter do wrong? If Princess Yihe wasn't too jealous and couldn't tolerate others, why should my daughter..."
Zhao Qinglin paused for a moment, "Why should everyone surround her when she comes here, not to mention taking my place, and punishing me!"
Zhao Qinglin's eyes were red, like an angry beast, her whole body was full of fierceness, which was shocking.
Mrs. Zhao was also angry, but after saying a few more words, Mrs. Zhao took over the power of housekeeper and handed it over to the second room. In her opinion, Mrs. Zhao must be favoring Queen Zhao and did not want to embarrass Queen Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao even blamed Queen Zhao for not being able to control her husband, let alone her son. The Zhao family couldn't borrow any strength.
"Qinglin, don't listen to that little bitch Zhao Yanlin, since Master Prajna said so, mother will help you if she dies, and you will never be allowed to bully Princess Yihe."
Mrs. Zhao is going all out, and now she has no other choice, waiting for Zhao Qinglin is definitely not a good result.
"Mother?" Zhao Qinglin was stunned for a moment, taking a step forward regardless of the pain on her face.
Mrs. Zhao patted Zhao Qinglin's arm, "No one can take away what belongs to my daughter. As long as you can get everything you deserve, mother is willing to die. This tone is related to the honor of the Zhao family in a hundred years. Lin, you should know your mother's temperament, she can't stand being underestimated, after this incident, Da Fang no longer has the right to choose."
The tears in Zhao Qinglin's eyes became more wanton. Madam Zhao gave a few more instructions before leaving the courtyard.
Seeing Mrs. Zhao leaving resolutely, Zhao Qinglin's eyes flickered slightly.
That night, the post station was surrounded by a group of men in black, like a huge net, surrounded on all sides, each holding a bow and arrow, blending into the night.
I saw two servant girls entering the door, and the leading man in black gave an order and fired several arrows.
"kill!"
Soon, a raging fire was ignited in the post station, and the flames soared into the sky, which could be seen from a long distance away.
Faintly heard someone yelling, "Hurry up and save the princess, the princess is still inside."
Palm oil was poured all around the post station, and it was on fire at one o'clock. Several people poured buckets on the fire. Unfortunately, the fire was too big, and it was scorching hot even if it was close.
In the other yard, Miss Xiao lay leisurely on the couch, watching the faint fire light not far away, and glanced at the man angrily.
"The Zhao family is really cruel. They want to burn me alive before they give up."
The man seemed not to hear, his head was lowered to concentrate, his slender and white fingers had distinct knuckles, he was pinching a purple grape, carefully removing the seeds, and putting the round and transparent grape meat on the white plate, in the blink of an eye there was already a purple grape. Dozens of them, Xiao Concubine ate happily, one after another, humming twice happily.
"As you said, everyone in the Zhao family is black-hearted. The eldest brother has been bound by messy feelings these years, so let me be the villain."
Song Zhan and Emperor Xiyue are very similar, and Emperor Xiyue has an indecisive temperament.
Xiao Concubine pursed her lips and snorted, and was about to reach out for it, but was held down by a big palm, and handed the remaining half of the grapes to Hongxiu, "You are rewarded."
Hong Xiu was flattered and glanced at Concubine Xiao.
Concubine Xiao glared at Zhao Zun angrily, and Zhao Zun wiped his fingers, "It's fine to try something new, and it will save you holding your stomach and screaming at night."
Concubine Xiao waved her hand after hearing this, and Hong Xiu immediately accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, Miss."
It is not easy to have such fresh grapes in this season. Hongxiu is really lucky to follow Xiao Concubine. Who has Hongxiu never seen anything rare
Hongxiu left, and there were only two people left in the yard. Zhao Zun stretched out his long arms and hugged Xiao Concubine, turned over and lay down on the couch, with Xiao Concubine in his arms.
"Get a good night's sleep before dawn."
Concubine Xiao snorted, lying obediently and docilely in Zhao Zun's arms, and the two of them clasped their fingers tightly.
When it was dawn, Zhao Qi came to knock on the door.
Concubine Xiao moved her body and snorted twice. Zhao Zun stretched out his hand and covered Concubine Xiao with the cloak, kissed Concubine Xiao's forehead, "Wait for me to come back."
Xiao Yu opened her hazy eyes and nodded, "Then don't forget to make the decision for me."
Zhao Zun smiled lightly, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and disappeared very quickly, "Okay!"
Zhao Zun went out, stepped on the horse's back and grabbed the rein tightly, his expression turned pale, "Drive!"
It was already an hour later when I saw Emperor Xiyue.
"I don't know why the emperor summoned his sons and ministers?"
The Emperor Xiyue cleared his throat, and seeing Zhao Zun's peaceful appearance, he knew that Concubine Xiao must be fine, but he still asked politely, "The station suddenly caught fire, I wonder if the princess is different?"
Zhao Zun raised his eyebrows, "Fate is big, I can't die."
The emperor of Xiyue was just like this, his face changed slightly, "I have sent people to investigate, and these assassins have all executed themselves. Since the last battle with Eastern Chu, there are not only the remnants of the previous dynasty in the city, but also the Eighth Prince. Song Yao's old subordinate, the palace banquet that day, has been traced, and these people are most likely to provoke the relationship between Xiyue and Dongming."
As Emperor Xiyue said, Zhao Zun lowered his eyebrows and there was a sneer in his eyes.
"Yu'er, your mother also suffered from Lengxiang because of this, and almost had a miscarriage..."
