Fragrance Returned

Chapter 540 Betrayal

After Xunxiang presented the Queen with a gift, she took out a rolled scroll and said with a smile, "I drew a figure painting. The Queen's grandfather must like it."

He then said to Eunuch Li, "Go and report to my imperial grandfather and ask him to come to Kunning Palace to appreciate it at night."

The princess personally sent the errand. Eunuch Li narrowed his eyes with a smile, bowed and said with a smile, "I will go right away."

Run out all the way.

After sending the other servants off, Xunxiang told Eunuch An that she wanted Eunuch Li to be accidentally injured. We also need to save his life, he is an important tainting witness.

Eunuch An went out and gave some instructions to his disciple Xiao Zhuangzi, then stood outside the palace to guard the door.

Xun Xiang whispered to Queen Ye, "Sun Shizi's father, General Sun, is not dead. He was saved by the old god. He has evidence of Concubine Li, King Qi, and Shen Mou..."

Even though Queen Ye already knew something, she was still frightened.

He snorted coldly, "That mother and son are more cunning than Liang Tu and the Su family. They are in the deep palace, but they have the ability to reach out overseas. And Xia Bi and Xiyang, risking their lives to help them... No matter how good the position is, , but also have the destiny to sit down.

"Let the emperor see the son of the woman he likes. Not only does he want his kingdom, but also his life... Haha, I am laughed at if I don't have a son. Now, I can live better than those who have sons."

Not long after, someone came to report that when Eunuch Li came back, he accidentally stepped into a pit and sprained his foot. Xiao Zhuangzi, who was traveling with him, helped him rub it. The pain made him cry and howl, and his ankle was red and swollen. Xiao Zhuangzi had to carry him back to the side room. Rest.

Queen Ye breathed a sigh of relief without the spy.

In the evening, the emperor came to Kunning Palace to admire the paintings.

Xun Xiang painted a portrait of Emperor Qingguan. Emperor Qingguan was wearing a royal robe and a crown, sitting on a dragon chair, majestic and solemn, arrogantly looking at all things.

However, it is only eight-tenths like the real person.

For a great painter like Xun Xiang, others must think that he has not performed to his due level.

Emperor Qingguan liked it very much. He laughed and said, "Xiangxiang Dacai, this is the portrait that most resembles me." He then said to Eunuch Qin, "Put it in the south study and invite him to the Ancestral Temple in the future."

This means that when he dies, this painting will be his portrait that will be brought to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Last year the emperor asked Xunxiang to draw a portrait of him. I was embarrassed to say it clearly, but I hinted that it would be better if his eyes were longer and his eyebrows could fly into his temples.

Emperor Qingguan had a handsome, gentle appearance, and he especially liked Emperor Gaozu's heroic appearance.

Xunxiang was a little brat, so she thought she understood the emperor's meaning, and even went to pay homage to Emperor Gaozu's portrait.

She not only made "fine adjustments" to Emperor Qingguan's eyes and eyebrows, but also used light and dark colors to highlight the three-dimensional shape of his face and facial features, making the emperor's dragon look more powerful and domineering.

Eunuch Qin bowed and took it, and he flattered Eunuch Shan and Eunuch An a few more times about the emperor's heroic appearance and Princess Xiangxiang's talent.

Xun Xiang smiled and said, "I will take a picture of the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother another day."

The emperor smiled and said, "In the family portrait, add Xiangxiang, Yibo, Ping'er, and Mingshan."

These are the emperor's favorite grandchildren.

In addition to the grandchildren of other women, there is also Gao Shanzhu.

Xunxiang couldn't say much, so he agreed.

The emperor was happy and wanted to save face for Queen Ye and Xun Xiang, so he temporarily decided to rest in Kunning Palace.

This afternoon he turned over Li Fei's sign, and Li Fei was so angry that she smashed a vase and two teacups.

She went through a lot of trouble to invite the emperor to come to Jinling Palace more often, but Xunxiang kept him with only one painting, causing the things she had prepared to go to waste.

Who said Mrs. Ye was dignified? She is obviously very coquettish and uses her granddaughter to achieve her goal.

After dinner, Queen Ye sent everyone off, while Eunuch Qin and Eunuch An stood guard outside the main hall.

Xun Xiang's face turned serious, and she walked up to the emperor, knelt down on his knees, and told everything about Sun Linzhang being rescued by Master Mingyuan and the discovery that the emperor was poisoned.

She did not dare to say that she knew that Sun Linzhang was rescued by Master Mingyuan. She only said that she asked Master Mingyuan when she saw the emperor looked wrong last time. Master Mingyuan confirmed that the emperor had been slightly poisoned and gave her the antidote.

He also said that there was not enough time to detoxify, and he would wait until a key figure appeared. Xunxiang had to use chrysanthemum pillows and chrysanthemum tea to suppress toxins...

After Xun Xiang finished speaking, Queen Ye also knelt down to apologize.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I discovered that Concubine Li was hiding an affair earlier. She only thought about the struggle between the princes. I didn't expect that she would dare to collude with the Japanese pirates, let alone poison the emperor..."

The emperor was in disbelief at first, and then turned to stone. Except for the slight trembling of his muscles and beard, he sat there like a statue.

He instinctively didn't want to believe it, but not only three generations of the loyal Sun family were involved, but also the old immortal, Xiangxiang, and the queen. Thinking about Qiu Wangzhi's previous secret report and Qin Jin's confession, he had to believe it.

He also remembered that every time he went to Jinling Palace in the past two months, he would eat snacks with milk flavor.

Concubine Li also said, "I know that Your Majesty likes to eat snacks made by Xiangxiang, so I specially asked someone to learn how to make them..."

He says the nicest things but does the most vicious things.

Li Fei's betrayal of him made him even more angry than Su's betrayal of him.

Su's ambition was always written on her face, and she wanted her son to be the prince. Concubine Keli is gentle and wise, her whole heart and eyes are full of him, like a vine attached to a big tree...

But it turned out to be all false.

The emperor frowned and thought for a long time, then swept down the teacups on the table with one palm, gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn it, how dare she!"

Suddenly he coughed and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Queen Ye and Xun Xiang were both startled.

"emperor!"

"Grandfather the Emperor!"

The emperor waved his hand, "Don't panic, don't make any noise..."

He took a deep breath, looked at his old wife and granddaughter who were still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Xiangxiang has all been arranged? Tomorrow I will go to Zhenhaihou Mansion to meet Sun Linzhang... That bitch, if it is true, I will Let her die badly.

"Get up. I haven't noticed anything wrong with that bitch for so many years. How can I blame you? The old god said how to detoxify?"

Xun Xiang said, "We have brought the antidote." She took out a small bag of medicine and held it with her little hand. "This is the antidote given by Mingyuan. This purple medicine is the most precious. It is not an ordinary snake slough, but a hundred-year-old medicine." The rare miracle drug Zilong Slough.

"Without the purple dragon slough, the master would not be able to detoxify the poison, and the emperor's grandfather would be really in danger. The master also said that he doesn't have much of this medicine on hand, and will have to look for it overseas in the future."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the antidote was right in front of him, and it was still a miracle drug.

"Let Qin An keep this medicine for now and wait for the imperial doctor to examine it before taking it."

Tomorrow he will not only go to Zhenhai Hou Mansion to meet Sun Linzhang, but also ask Qiu Wangzhi to meet Master Mingyuan. It would be best if he could invite Master Mingyuan to the palace. Not only do I have to ask about Sun Linzhang, I also want to ask about the antidote...
