Sacrificial celebrations cannot be held in the palace, and the canonization ceremony of Nangong Lizhu and I cannot be held. Before, we moved things from Jingren Palace to Yihua Palace in a lively manner, but when we moved them back again, they seemed a little bleak.

More than once, I heard Lu Xinrong and others coming to greet the Queen, "passing" in front of me, and what they said loudly was quite interesting.

However, only you really know the taste of each one.

Just like Chang Qing, she lives in the prosperous scene every day, favored by the emperor, surrounded by concubines, people coming and going in the not-too-large room in Jingren Palace every day, the singing and dancing are caring and considerate, and countless things

, while the treasures were being delivered here, she kept smiling and treated everyone with courtesy and thoughtfulness. However, that smile was a bit forced and a bit genuine. Who is the one who can see clearly?<

/p>

I have been waiting outside the window. Through the window, I can see that the smile on Chang Qing's face shows a bit of exhaustion, while the concubines and the ladies from their natal families are still flattering them. As the saying goes, you can't hit the smiling face with your hands.

Man, no wonder she ended up like this in one morning.

Just when I turned around, I saw Kuan'er leading someone to bring medicine, so I simply followed him in.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Pharmacy has sent medicine."

As soon as Kuo'er and I entered the room, the concubines and ladies all turned around and looked at me.

The eyes are also a bit frivolous.

Of course this was not the first time. After many times, I became calm. Even though I was scratched by the razor-like gaze, I could still calmly walk over and stand next to Chang Qing, and said cautiously: "The medicine was ordered by the emperor.

After letting the queen use it, she must send a message back."

As soon as these words were spoken, the concubines and ladies became a little unable to sit still.

They all stood up and said goodbye: "I won't disturb my queen's rest."

"I, my concubine, will retire."

Chang Qing smiled and said: "I am seriously ill, so I won't see you off."

"My dear, please have a good rest."

I watched them exit obediently, and I couldn't help but feel funny. It turned out that Pei Yuanhao still had such a use. When I lowered my head, I saw Chang Qing leaning on the soft couch and gently rubbing her brows.

, there were clearly several deep lines there. But when he raised his head and looked at me, his face looked slightly relaxed: "Thank you for coming."

I smiled and asked Kuo'er to bring the soup and serve it to Chang Qing to drink. Xing'er and the others were already standing around the table, dumbfounded by the various gifts sent by the ladies, such as the white jade Guanyin and the golden jade necklace.

It’s dazzling to see.

I didn't have the intention to look at those things. I just watched Chang Qing drink the medicine. The taste of the medicine was very bitter, which made her pretty face wrinkle together. She was always dignified and elegant on weekdays, but she rarely looked childish like this.

I couldn't help but find it funny. But the medicine was also really bitter. I could smell it even when I was standing next to it.

However, there seems to be a fragrance in the bitter taste.

I sniffed: "What smells so good?"

Chang Qing took a sip of the medicine and frowned in pain. After a while, she regained her composure and pointed to the table: "I don't know who sent what kind of flowers. They smell so good."

Sure enough, there was a pot of petite plum blossoms on the table, which were blooming very beautifully. I walked over and took a look, and Myolie also came over to watch the fun and smelled the rich fragrance: "This flower is so fragrant, what kind of flower is it?"<

/p>

No one recognized it, so they just shook their heads.

I looked at it for a while and said calmly: "It's a different species of lantana. But the flower doesn't smell fragrant, it smells bad."

"Smells?" Kou'er looked at him in confusion: "It smells so good, how could it-"

"The flowerpot smells good."

As I spoke, I pushed aside the gold, jewels and jade piled on the table, and then I saw clearly that this potted plant was made of a finely carved porcelain pot. However, this porcelain pot had some openings. The middle was empty and inlaid.

A circle of cloves is also carefully carved into a flying phoenix. It looks particularly delicate and luxurious. No wonder it is so fragrant.

Myolie said stupidly: "Wow, it takes so much effort."

I smiled: "It does take a lot of time."

As he said that, he looked back at Chang Qing. She also looked at me and frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

I walked over, took the empty medicine bowl from her, and said, "This flower is poisonous."

"What?!"

When Kuan'er and the others heard this, they were all shocked and exclaimed, "Poisonous?"

Chang Qing's brows twitched unconsciously, and she picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped the tip of her nose. I said calmly: "But this is a different species. The flowers are smaller than ordinary lantana, and the smell is weaker, so the toxicity is also weaker.

.It has to be left there for a long time before it will really suffer.”

Kou'er was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly picked up the gift list on the table and opened it.

I didn't say anything and put the bowl back on the small table next to me. Chang Qing also lowered her eyes a little tiredly - that girl is also stupid. How can I check it when I come back?

Sure enough, she looked up and down for a long time and said, "Why is it not on the gift list?"

I turned around and looked at Chang Qing: "Your Majesty."

"Forget it," she waved her hand calmly: "Take it off."

The girls were still a little unwilling to give in. They mumbled and after I said a few words, they directed the little eunuchs to remove all the things. I walked back to Chang Qing and carefully rubbed her sides.

She felt a little more comfortable by touching her temples, but the solemn expression on her face did not fade away.

I said softly: "What do you think, Madam?"

"What else can I think about."

"Do you know who it is?"

"Who else."

Indeed, in this palace, anyone who can treat Chang Qing like this would not be a second thought.

Regardless of whether the child is aborted, whether Chang Qing can no longer occupy the holy favor, whether she has a miscarriage for some reason, or whether she cannot take care of the harem and needs to entrust her care to others, it is all good for her, but these seem to be nothing.

But she can reach behind others and manipulate them to poison Jingren Palace. This can already be seen how quickly her power is expanding.

It was already late autumn at this time, and the wind outside blew the fallen leaves across the wall, and one could hear the whistling sound. Even though there was a heater in the house, one could feel a chill seeping from the bottom of the heart.

As if feeling the coldness on my fingertips, Chang Qing raised her head and looked at me: "What's wrong with you?"

I frowned slightly and said nothing.

I don’t know why, but I’ve been very uneasy since she got pregnant.

This is not the first time something like this happened today. Fortunately, I saw through it every time and got through it without any danger, but I always feel that it was not something we got through.

Lantana is not a rare thing. Even if it is a different species, a knowledgeable person can recognize it.

Such cover-up techniques are really clumsy.

But, is it clumsy, is it a way of concealing it, or is it something else?

Chang Qing saw that I was just lost in thought but didn't speak, so she asked again: "Where did you go just now? I couldn't find anyone when I looked for you."

I smiled: "Go out for a walk."

She glanced at me and said nothing.

Before the concubines and ladies came just now, it was Pei Yuanhao who accompanied her, and these days she has already understood that whenever Pei Yuanhao comes to Jingren Palace, I will find excuses to avoid it. She doesn't know where to avoid it.

I don’t have the time to ask more questions.

In fact, there is only one place I avoid.

That is the place where Nangong Lizhu would go every time Pei Yuanhao was tired of Jingren Palace to accompany her.

Thinking about the child who doesn't know how to cry yet, and can only look at others in a daze when held in his arms, old wounds have just healed, and new wounds have been added, but no matter how much he is manipulated, he will not complain.

Maybe it’s because I know there’s nowhere to complain - thinking of this, I gritted my teeth.

"The Queen."

"What happened?"

"Wei Chen is about to ask your Majesty for instructions."

"You said."

I said softly: "Since the incident with Yuwen before, it is now difficult to get the medicines from the Imperial Pharmacy. But recently, the Royal Pharmacy is available for the queen to use, so Wei Chen wants to ask them how many medicines they want."<

/p>

"What medicine?"

I leaned down and whispered a few words in her ear. After listening, she turned and looked at me: "What are you doing with these?"

I just smiled: "Anyway, these medicines are also available to you."

She glanced at me, didn't say anything, was silent for a moment, and just nodded lightly: "You go ahead."

A few days later, the weather became colder and colder. Thick black clouds gathered over the imperial city, which seemed to put a heavy stone on people's hearts, giving people the illusion of being breathless and suffocating.

After finishing some things, I was very tired myself, so I slowly walked back to my room. Aunt Wu hurriedly came to help me sit down, squeezed my fingers, feeling cool, and said: "I'm going down.

Let them make a bowl of hot soup."
