462, King Li likes you
Early in the morning, the emperor went to Fanxu Palace to accompany Zhang Jieyu, who had just given birth to the seventh prince, while Concubine Qin went to Yongxian Palace accompanied by Nanny Shen and a group of court ladies and eunuchs.
Yongxian Palace has been completely repaired, and all the furniture and decorations have been moved in. Wangwang's brazier has been burning all night, drying most of the dampness in the newly renovated house.
Concubine Qin looked around while walking slowly with a faint smile, and raised her head to look at the carvings on the pillars.
Different from Concubine Qin's casualness, Nanny Shen who was following behind her was very nervous, for fear that the empress would cause something sad, "Empress, this palace is still a bit damp, let's go back to Qianqing Palace."
Concubine Qin withdrew her gaze, and her voice was soft like water, "Return? Qianqing Palace does not belong to me, why do you use the word back?"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mother Shen hurriedly sent out the maids around her, leaving only two trustworthy ones. "Your Majesty, this slave is talkative, you...don't complain..." Whom to blame? Naturally, he blamed the emperor.
Concubine Qin shook her head with a smile, "I didn't blame you, but I really don't have any troubles in my heart, so you don't need to persuade me any more about this." She reached out and groped for the hanging water-green gauze curtain, "It's hard for the House of Internal Affairs. , I still remember my preferences."
Just as he was talking, he heard a court lady shouting loudly outside the door.
Mother Shen walked over quickly, only then did she realize that it was King Li who had arrived.
Hearing that her son was coming, Concubine Qin reversed the sarcasm on her face before, and she was in a happy mood, even with a smile in the corner of her eyes, "Let Fen'er in quickly."
Mother Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly welcomed King Li in, while she guarded the door.
King Li paid his respects to Concubine Qin, and before Concubine Qin could greet her warmly, he said, "Concubine Mother, I came to look for Concubine Mother as soon as I came back from Gu Mansion."
Seeing that King Li's face was gloomy, Concubine Qin also restrained her smile, "Could it be about Zhang Jieyu?"
Li Wang nodded, "Yesterday was very inconvenient. My minister sent Gu Qianxue out of the palace and did not turn back. It is indeed Zhang Jieyu's fault, and Zhang Jieyu is not dystocia, but poisoned."
"Poison again?" Concubine Qin was surprised, "Could it... have something to do with Ben Gong's poison?" Her voice trembled faintly, but it wasn't fear, but anger.
King Li nodded again, "Not only is it related to the poison of the mother and concubine, but it also has a lot to do with the poisonous snake that bit Gu Qianxue a few days ago." Immediately afterwards, he told everything he heard in Gu's mansion.
"Now it can be roughly confirmed that the poison is related to Chu Yanguo, but further investigation is needed," Li Wang continued, "As for the source of the book and the content of the book, Gu Qianxue refuses to say anything."
Concubine Qin was anxious, "Why didn't she tell us, what else can she hide from us?"
King Li hurriedly said, "Concubine mother, please calm down, Qianxue did this for us."
"For us?" Concubine Qin was puzzled.
King Li frowned, his face was gloomy and solemn, "If I guess correctly, that book should be related to Chu Yanguo's Mingjiao. Although Chu Yanguo and Mingjiao are not terrible, but that Mingjiao is the most vicious, and it has been If you are entangled with it, you will never be harassed by it, and it is impossible to guard against it. People in this world wish to put aside their relationship with the Mingjiao, for fear of being implicated, this minister thinks that this is the reason why Qianxue refuses to speak out."
Concubine Qin suddenly realized, "It's really hard for this child Qianxue, but Chu Yanguo... Could it be Concubine Xilan? Only Concubine Xilan has a relationship with Chu Yanguo in the entire palace."
King Li also nodded and said, "If it wasn't Mingjiao but something else, Concubine Xilan wouldn't be so suspicious. But the method of secret poison of Mingjiao is not known to the outside world. If you don't have the blood of Chuyan Kingdom, you will never know its method." , Erchen will investigate carefully next time."
"Yi'er, what are you going to do?" Concubine Qin said.
Li Wang raised his eyebrows, "Starting from the investigation of Concubine Ceylon's contacts in and out of the palace in the past twenty years, I don't believe that there are no clues to all the people and things she has come into contact with."
Concubine Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "There is still a way to do it," but she couldn't help shedding tears, "Fortunately, there is a girl in this palace, otherwise I really don't know what nostalgia is left in this world."
King Li's complexion was not good when he heard Concubine Qin's words, "Mother and concubine don't say such things anymore, your life is the greatest wish for my son and minister."
Concubine Qin laughed through her tears, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it in the future, and I will live strong for the sake of my son from now on."
On the other side, Gu Mansion.
After sending off King Li, Gu Qianxue felt relieved, and when she returned home, she felt relaxed and extremely happy.
Suddenly thinking of how aggressive Zhao was to King Li yesterday, she was really sweating at that time, who knows if that bastard King Li would kill a pregnant woman? But in fact, King Li patiently coaxed Mrs. Zhao for a long time. I have to say that King Li also has a cute side.
After thinking about it, I began to miss the cheap mother.
Because of the birth of the seventh prince, the emperor was overjoyed and gave civil and military officials a three-day holiday. Gu Shangshu went all out to accompany Mrs. Zhao, and made the aunts in the backyard angry but helpless. Who would let someone be a wife and have children?
When Gu Qianxue arrived at Peony Courtyard, Mrs. Zhao heard that Gu Qianxue was coming, so she hurriedly dropped the chess pieces and ran to see her daughter. After all, she doesn't like to play chess, and she is forced to play chess with her husband, and now she has a gimmick and hurried out. "Daughter, my most beautiful, lovely, gentle and generous daughter!"
"..." Gu Qianxue slipped her foot and almost fell - I really don't know whether this Mrs. Zhao is insane or her memory is too good. Even she has forgotten such a long name, but Mrs. Zhao still remembers it.
However, upon hearing this name, Gu Qianxue's heart gradually warmed up, and she swore to herself that she must protect Xun Ruolan.
"Mother, slow down." Gu Qianxue supported Zhao Shi, but when she saw Gu Shangshu who was following behind, with a helpless, worried and jealous look on her face, she chuckled. "How are you doing? Has the doctor come to see you?"
Mrs. Zhao straightened her pointed stomach, "Very well, your brother often kicks people."
Gu Qianxue carefully touched Zhao's stomach, "In a few months, I will have a younger brother, just thinking about it makes me happy."
Mrs. Zhao blinked, "Aren't you going to give birth too?"
Gu Qianxue was taken aback, "I gave birth?" What did she give birth to
Mrs. Zhao nodded with innocent eyes, "Yes, your grandmother came a few days ago and said that she hoped that you would have an heir of King Li. I didn't want to, but yesterday I saw that King Li liked you so much, so I said yes. not worried."
Gu Qianxue was stunned, and looked at the servants around her with a stiff neck, but all the servants looked over with ambiguous eyes.
Embarrassed, she hurriedly pushed Mrs. Zhao into the room, "It's cold outside, let's go in and talk." She was more wronged than Dou E, she was clearly innocent, and even the Shougongsha was still there. The crowd began to look forward to her having a baby, it was terrible! Besides, she and Li Wang... how is it possible
Suddenly thinking of Li Wang's fair and handsome face and his indifferent and gentle eyes, Gu Qianxue became flustered.
