The Job of an Imperial Concubine

The courtyard of the Xihe Palace was full of slaves, big and small, including servants in the palace, some who cleaned the yard, and even some servants who often passed by the Xihe Palace.

Zhuang Luoyan sat on the side with a blank face, and the two sitting above were the emperor and the empress. The expressions of these two people were not much better than Zhuang Luoyan's. A few cups were smashed on the ground, all of which were caused by Feng Jin's anger. If it wasn't for the children in Zhuang Luorou's belly, these slaves would have been dragged out to be tortured with the cane.

"You all claim to be innocent, so who moved the soil in this flower pot?" The queen looked at the two eunuchs who brought the soil with a sullen face, "This soil was sent to Concubine Zhao by the two of you, the most suspicious thing is It is you. You should know that the soil for growing flowers comes from different places, and the soil is brought into the palace according to the nature of the flowers. There is no problem with the original soil in the palace, so it can only be that you have touched it on the way to send the soil. So tell me the truth, who instigated you.”

The two eunuchs were already frightened. They didn't know that there would be problems, let alone someone instigated them. Hearing what the queen said, they had no choice but to kowtow and cry for grievances, but they couldn't find any evidence to clear their grievances.

"Since you said that you were wronged, then think about it carefully. On the way to send the soil, has anyone touched this picture, or has anyone approached you?" The Queen's tone softened, "Think again. Who gave the soil to you that day."

The two were so frightened that their brains went into confusion. The queen asked such a question, but the two couldn't remember it for a while. The queen did not urge her, she just picked up the tea and took a sip slowly, then turned her head to Zhuang Luoyan and said: "Fortunately, this thing was seen as wrong, otherwise..." She remembered that Zhuang Luoyan had had a miscarriage once, how many times this woman A miscarriage can lead to infertility, but fortunately the child was saved, otherwise she would not even dare to think about what would happen. Looking at the emperor who had been silent all this time with lingering fear, the queen gripped the teacup a little tighter.

"The emperor and empress are worried," Zhuang Luoyan smiled wryly, "These days, concubines dare not go anywhere except to pay their respects to your empress, who knows that someone would come up with such an unavoidable idea. "

After listening to the queen, she sighed. This method of planting medicine in the soil is really unprecedented, and it is indeed hard to guard against. She asked people to strictly check the people and affairs of Xihe Palace, and she really didn't expect such a method.

According to the means of ordinary people, at most they start with food, clothing, incense and utensils. A woman who can come up with such means is too scheming.

"You don't have to worry, I will definitely find out about this matter," Feng Jin said in a deep voice, "I don't believe that there is anything in this harem that I can't find out."

Zhuang Luoyan forced a smile when she heard the words, took the hand stove from Yun Xi and hugged it: "I trust the emperor." There is nothing in this world that cannot be found out, the key is whether the emperor wants to find out.

As if she didn't hear the conversation between the two, the queen turned to the two frightened eunuchs and said, "What are you two thinking, is there anything wrong?"

"Going back to Empress, the servants remembered something," replied the eunuch who seemed a little calmer. "At that time, the servants went directly to the steward's office to get the soil. Later, they met three acquaintances on the road. Said a few words."

"What you are telling is the truth. If it is not true, I will directly stick..." The queen glanced at Zhuang Luoyan's swollen belly, and swallowed her words abruptly, "You should keep your heads steady."

"The slaves must not dare to lie. These three are Xiaopingzi from Shangshi Bureau, Yurong from Huanyi Bureau, and...Xiao Xizi, the eunuch who sweeps the concubine Xiangui." Frightened, she lowered her head a little, "Xiao Xizi also said that Concubine Zhao had a lot of things to do, and she was so troublesome about planting potted flowers."

"What a slutty slave, you dare to talk about your master's affairs," the queen sneered, "Come here, bring all three of them here."

Holding the teacup, Feng Jin added: "Bring Concubine Xian Gui."

After a while, Concubine Xian Gui arrived. When the other three came in, they were dragged by several eunuchs, and they seemed to have been hit by a board.

When Concubine Xian Gui saw the three of them, her face remained normal, she even showed some disgust because of the smell of blood, she covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. She thought that the emperor asked her to come because she had the right to assist the harem, so she smiled and said: "I don't know what the emperor called a concubine?"

Seeing Concubine Xian's appearance, Zhuang Luoyan thought, either this matter has to do with Concubine Xian's facial features, or Concubine Xian is the biggest acting emperor in the harem.

"Do you know this eunuch?" Feng Jin pointed to the eunuch named Xiao Xizi, and asked expressionlessly.

Concubine Xian took a closer look, shook her head and said, "Return to the emperor, I really don't know who this slave is."

"Concubine Xian, this person is the eunuch who sweeps the palace in your palace," the queen said slowly, "This person may be an evil slave who wants to cause Concubine Zhao to have a miscarriage."

After hearing this, Concubine Xian immediately understood that the emperor summoned her to Shi Xingshi to interrogate her, her complexion suddenly changed, and she knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, my concubine really doesn't recognize this little eunuch."

Not to mention whether Xiao Xizi is from her palace, even if she is from her palace, how could she know an eunuch who sweeps the house? Who is going to frame her in this matter?

The maid who knelt down with Concubine Xian carefully sized Xiao Xizi a few times, and said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, slave... I have something to report."

"Say," Feng Jin said coldly.

"This servant recognizes this little Xizi. He was transferred to our palace by Dianzhong Province a few days ago. Some time ago, when Qian Wanyi was promoted to the throne, this servant brought a congratulatory gift from our empress. At that time, this little Xizi was not far away. After falling down, the servant took another look. So this little Xizi used to work in Changtian Tower."

The queen of "Chang Tian Lou" looked at this little Xizi in surprise. Xu Shi used to live in Chang Tian Lou, but after Xu was rejected by the emperor, it was Qian Wanyi who made the decision. Then this matter...

After hearing this passage, Xiao Xizi kept calling for grievances, only saying that she had done nothing wrong, and she didn't know any harmful drugs.

"Let someone search Changtianlou. I remember that there are a lot of books in Changtianlou." Feng Jin said with a serious face, "You can turn Changtianlou upside down. You don't need to worry about it, just find the things."

The queen knew in her heart that when Xu loved to read books and the emperor loved her, he gave her a lot of books to Changtian Building, published poems and scriptures, and other rare books, including medical books.

After a while, Qian Wanyi came over and knelt down with red eyes, but because the emperor's face was too gloomy, she didn't cry out, so she had to keep kneeling. Hearing the footsteps coming and going behind her, and the three tortured people behind her who couldn't even kneel down, she turned pale.

An hour later, Gao Dezhong walked in quickly, and said with a calm expression: "Report to the emperor, the imperial guards found a medical book in a vase that had fallen in Qian Wanyi's bedroom. The medicinal properties of the magic formula are very similar to those found in the flowerpot."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the room changed, Concubine Xian wished to strangle Qian Wanyi to death, if she didn't find out clearly at this time, then she would be the one who was unlucky today. She is the only one who raises the prince in this harem. If something happens to Zhuang Luoyan's child, she may be the first to think of her. Although she hates this child, she will not be so stupid as to touch this child, otherwise even if Zhuang Luoyan's child is gone, she will be in bad luck. What good would that do her? It was just making wedding clothes for her.

Qian Wanyi, that bitch!
