The Times Spent in Pretense

Chapter 8: Sympathy

Views:

Concubine Xian was very heartbroken. As a concubine who had a prestigious position in the harem and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, almost no one dared to give her face.

Only the crown prince, in the harem, apart from the queen mother and her majesty, will not give face to anyone, she certainly belongs to the scope of "who".

Although she wanted to strangle the prince to death in her heart, she still tried her best to maintain the gentlest smile in front of everyone. No way, who called her the birth mother of the emperor's eldest son, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at her in the capital.

After reciting "I am Concubine Xian, I am tolerant and generous, I am not angry" ten times, Concubine Xian just wanted to express her closeness to Hua Liuli, when she suddenly heard the maid next to Hua Liuli exclaiming in a low voice, "Ladies and gentlemen Don't drink, the slaves suspect that the wine is poisonous."

As soon as this statement came out, some people changed their faces, and some people accidentally dropped their cups.

"Poisonous?!" King Ning, who had been timid since childhood, threw the wine bottle away, and the wine bottle fell on the dishes, making a crisp crashing sound.

The smile on Concubine Xian's face gradually became stiff, she clenched her wine glass and said word by word: "What do you mean by this, the wine is brewed by Ben Gong, you mean that Ben Gong poisoned Huaxian County Lord?"

"The slaves don't dare." Iris knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Niangniang, this girl has been with the minister's daughter since she was a child. Because the minister's daughter is always sick, this girl has been implicated to learn some pharmacology from the doctor." Hua Liuli stood up from the seat. With the help of a palace maid, he barely stood firm, "The servant girl is not disciplined strictly, please forgive me."

"You masters and servants are deeply in love, and this girl cares in disorder. This palace believes that she has no malicious intentions." What Concubine Xian can do to the other party is not the only choice to forgive her. But in order to prove that she did not intend to murder Hua Liuli, Concubine Xian asked the palace attendant to invite three medical officers from the Tai Hospital, and asked them to prove that there was no problem with the wine.

She has been in the palace for many years and has seen many conspiracy methods. Even if she really wants to harm others, she will not be stupid enough to do it on her own field.

The master and servant are so nervous, it seems that they have a grudge against her.

When the three medical officers heard that there was a suspected poisoning incident in the palace, they were so frightened that they quickly brought their tools and trotted all the way to Lincui Palace.

Seeing them coming, Concubine Xian waved her hands to excuse them from the ceremony: "You guys can take a look at the wine in the main cup of Huaxian for this palace."

"Yes."

Concubine Xian looked at the surrounding medical officers, and felt a little bit of relief in her heart. When the medical officer proved that her wine was not poisonous, she was wronged. Those rumors that her family Haoer insulted the Hua family's sister and brother will definitely not attack themselves. break.

"This is… "

"This is the three-breathing powder, see the poisonous blood that seals the throat."

Concubine Xian trembled, and even her voice trembled: "Three adults, what do you mean by these words...?"

The eyes of the three medical officers looking at Concubine Xian were already a little wrong, and it seemed that they had also heard the rumors: "There is a poison called Sanxisan in the wine glass of Huaxian County. , it will poison and die." This kind of poison was passed down from the harem of the previous dynasty, and in this dynasty, there were also concubines who had committed serious crimes and died of drinking this poison.

How could this kind of secret medicine in the palace be found in the palace of the concubine Xian

"Three, three breaths?" King Ning, who had already drank half a glass of wine, covered his neck, his face pale, "Ben, this king have already drank half a glass, save this king, hurry!"

The medical officer's face changed greatly, and then he said doubtfully: "No, if the lord drank Sanxisan before the lower officials arrived, I'm afraid at this moment..."

I'm afraid I've been kicking my legs long ago.

They checked the wine in the jug and other people's cups, and found that except for the wine of Huaxianzhu, the others were not poisonous.

The expressions of the medical officers became more subtle. Although they all knew that among all the princes, except for the prince, the eldest son of the king, the King of England, was the most honorable. However, His Majesty is now young and strong, and the prince is doing well. , isn't this a bit tiger

This is the daughter of the Hua family. As soon as her own father made a military exploit that can be remembered in history, you dare to bring people into the palace and poison them. What kind of courage is this? !

"The poison is not in the wine, but in the wine glass." Another medical officer put on cloth gloves, and let the other medical officer block him, and quickly locked the poisoned wine glass into the wooden box he brought.

As a medical officer, it is his inescapable responsibility to keep the evidence of poisoning.

Concubine Xian, who noticed the doctor's little actions: "..."

Hearing that the poison was on the wine glass, Concubine Xian had countless thoughts in her heart, which finally turned into panic, anger, and fear. Who was it that wanted to harm her and her children? !

If Hua Liuli were to die here today, not only would she be finished, but Hao'er would be finished, and the entire Tian family would be implicated. How can the Hua family, who controls hundreds of thousands of troops, give up

At that time, the entire Dajin will be affected.

Such a sinister and vicious method, she tightly held the armrest of the chair, took two deep breaths, and said with a trembling voice: "Come here, block the scene, and let Dali Temple arrange for someone to come over."

"In addition, arrange for someone to report this matter to His Majesty and the Crown Prince of the East Palace." After saying this, Concubine Xian seemed to have exhausted most of her strength. She glanced at everyone present, as if she wanted to find something suspicious about them. .

As the victim, Hua Liuli leaned precariously on the maid, and after hearing Concubine Xian asked her to go to Dali Temple to report the crime, she said in disbelief, "Why, why would anyone want to kill me?"

She looked down at Iris kneeling on the ground, caressed her forehead with her hand, and fell down softly.

"County Lord!" Iris cried out mournfully, catching the fallen Hua Liuli firmly, "County Lord, are you alright?!"

"Hurry up and help the county lord to the bedroom." Concubine Xian is now half-hearted, seeing Hua Liuli fainting, her face is even more pale and ugly, Hua County's body is weak and timid, in case she faints here If she can't get up, what can she tell His Majesty

Everyone carefully put Hua Liuli on the bed to lie down, the medical officer stretched out his hand to take a pulse, and his brows furrowed even tighter: "The county's main pulse is disordered, it seems that there is a deficiency, and it is frightened, so it needs to be adjusted slowly. "

Others present thought that anyone who found himself walking around the gate of the ghost gate would be frightened.

The poor Hua County Lord was frightened and fell ill by the horse-riding dude as soon as he entered Beijing. He managed to keep his body healthy, and came to the concubine Xian to admire a plum and almost drank poisonous wine.

The family is not in good health, it is already very difficult to live, and they have to face so many unfortunate things. The queen and the queen are not compatible with others, right

"Concubine Xian." The fifth prince walked over to Concubine Xian, who was not thinking about it, and comforted her gently, "Don't worry, the county lord Hua will be fine."

Concubine Xian forced out an ugly smile: "Lend your auspicious words."

"The maiden's house is kind, and the county lord Hua will definitely believe that it's not you who wants to harm her." The fifth prince stood outside, looking at the people coming and going through the hazy gauze, "Dali Si Qing will definitely investigate. The real mastermind behind the scenes."

Concubine Xian smiled bitterly. No matter who the real murderer is, this incident will have a great negative impact on her and the King of England.

Up to now, she still doesn't understand that this is a conspiracy against her and Hao'er.

East Palace.

The prince listened to the chatter of several officials of the prince's mansion with a blank face, and drew a naive puppy on the paper with a pen.

"His Royal Highness, I feel that we should find a way to replace the prefect of Yongzhou."

"Why, this prefect is not doing well?" The prince dropped the pen, took the handkerchief handed over by the palace maid and wiped his hands, without looking at the official who spoke.

"His Royal Highness, it's not that he's doing a bad job, but that he's doing a good job." The official said, "This person is very skillful in governing the place. Yongzhou has fertile land and is a good place. But the prefect of Yongzhou is the fourth prince. The people of the grandfather's family."

"The father and the emperor have five sons and three daughters. According to what you said, as long as they are officials related to other princes and princesses, they should be guarded against solitary officials?"

"His Royal Highness, the kings are eyeing the tigers, you must not soften your heart for a while..."

"Gu is never soft-hearted." The prince looked at the official speaking, "But you have to remember that Gu is the Prince of Dajin."

"But if the prefect of Yongzhou chooses the fourth prince wholeheartedly, it will be detrimental to us."

"The lonely and the fourth, who is stronger?"

"Prince is wise and benevolent, the fourth prince is far inferior to you one or two."

"As a good official who cares for the people, how can he not have self-knowledge?" The prince said lightly, "If there is none, I can only express my deep regret."

Several officials in the Prince's Mansion fell silent. The corrupt officials who let the Prince express his "regret" last time had a very miserable end. The officials in the entire capital had less behavior to accept the filial piety of their officials.

A few of them dare not persuade them any more, for fear that if they continue to persuade them, the prince will "deeply regret" them.

"His Royal Highness." The eunuch of the East Palace hurried in and stopped when he saw the officials of the Prince's Mansion.

"Speak." The eunuch saw that these eunuchs who were going to deliver gifts to the head of Huaxian County looked a little wrong, and waved these officials to leave: "What happened?"

"Someone poisoned Concubine Xian's Lincui Palace, and the head of Hua County was almost killed."

The prince's eyelids moved slightly: "Is the head of Hua County okay?"

"Fortunately, the maid next to the county lord Hua had a little knowledge of medicine, and noticed something was wrong. The county lord Hua escaped. He was just frightened and rested in Lincui Palace."

"Let's go, go to Lincui Palace to see." The prince put his hands behind his back and walked outside the palace.

When the prince arrived at Lincui Palace, the people from Dali Temple had already arrived, and none of the people who participated in this plum viewing banquet left.

Ignoring the person who saluted him, the prince walked up to the pale-faced Concubine Xian: "Concubine Xian, how is the county lord?"

After such a big incident, Concubine Xian was exhausted, but she still had to maintain her image in front of the prince: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the county lord fell asleep after taking the medicine."

"Well." The prince nodded slightly, "Are you sure that the medicine you just gave to the Huaxian Lord is all right?"

Concubine Xian: "..."

What does he mean, who is he insulting

Concubine Xian was very angry, but she still had to keep smiling.

"Please rest assured, Prince, there is no problem with the medicine."

"That's good." The prince gave a high-five, and a few palace maids and eunuchs walked in carrying the floppy, and then lifted the tightly wrapped Hua Liuli onto the floppy.

"Where is the prince taking the county lord of Hua?" Concubine Xian was afraid that Hua Liuli would die inexplicably, and she would not be able to speak with a hundred mouths, so she quickly stopped the prince, "The imperial doctor said that the lord of Hua County is weak and difficult to move. "

"Concubine Xian, are you sure you want the head of Hua County to stay in Lincui Palace?" The prince lowered his eyelids slightly, obviously expressionless, but abruptly made people feel a bit ridiculed.

Concubine Xian: "..."

She is not sure, she is now in a state of panic where everyone in the world may harm this palace.

Ah.

The prince took his eyes away from Concubine Xian.

A bad brain may be hereditary. If the boss is stupid again in the future, he will try to say a few words to him as little as possible.

They are all their own brothers, and sympathy is still required.

The author has something to say: Concubine Xian: It's okay to insult my son's IQ, but I can't insult me who participated in the palace fight!
