Chapter 119
The Empress Dowager sat on the low couch in the Shoukang Palace with her brows furrowed. Her right eyelid kept twitching this morning, which made her feel more and more uneasy.

Recently, there have been many rumors of impeachment of the Song family in the court, and the Queen Mother did not take it seriously at first. Ever since Song Zhao left Beijing, there have been many rumors like this.

But Jiang Xufeng said something ambiguous in Chaoshang the day before yesterday, saying that he would ask Cheng Engong himself after he returned to Beijing, and then deal with it.When this word reached the Queen Mother's ears, she immediately realized that something was wrong, and she would be punished only if she committed a crime. Why didn't she know that her brother had an accident at the border?

The Empress Dowager, the secret report of the Imperial Army, naturally didn't know about it. If she found out what stupid things her brother had done, she might faint.

On the northwest side, Gu and Song had already been brought under control, and Wen Zhinan took care of the trial. When he returned to Beijing, he had his own Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Interrogation.Wen Zhinan devoted himself to the battle, watching from afar the horse that had caught Rouran's attention.

The autumn day outside had cooled down, but Sui He was still sweating and walked in quickly.

The queen mother sat up straight all of a sudden: "Can you find out what happened?"

Sui He calmed down and shook her head: "Madam, there is no battle report from the northwest, nor any other news, it's just that the emperor asked Rong Anhou to dispatch troops to the northwest."

Seeing the Queen Mother frowning again, Sui He paused, and approached in a low voice: "A month ago, the Emperor sent three officials from Dali Temple to the northwest, and they should have arrived by now."

The Empress Dowager suddenly raised her head, and said sharply, "Why doesn't the Ai family know about this?"

Sui He also looked annoyed, with a troubled tone: "Madam, Xiao Linzi, who works in Taichen Palace, has also been inquiring for a long time, and was almost caught by Zhu Zhan's tail. And it is said that the three adults were escorted out of the city overnight by the Imperial Army. Presumably the emperor didn't want this news to leak out."

The queen mother kept rubbing the low table with her fingers, and after listening to Sui He's words, she couldn't sit still anymore.

The Empress Dowager's phoenix chariot hurried to Taichen Palace, and all the servants in Taichen Palace saw that the Empress Dowager pushed open the door of Liangyi Hall angrily. He was slapped severely by the empress dowager.

As for the Hall of Liangyi, no one knows what the emperor and the empress dowager said.

The phoenix chariot swayed slightly, but the queen mother's mind was full of Jiang Xufeng's indifferent face just now, which was clearly not similar to the first emperor's face, but the queen mother saw the same disgust and indifference towards the Song family as the first emperor.

The Empress Dowager suddenly squeezed the armrest of the phoenix chariot, her heart full of anger: "Sui He, go and let Xia Shouzhong pass the message, and let Concubine Hui get ready as well."

The days smoothly entered mid-October, and the Northwest Army and Rouran won several small-scale battles.

A secret report from the Forbidden Army and Second Young Master Han was sealed into the Hall of Liangyi. After Jiang Xufeng read it, he was no longer upset.

The concubines in the harem finally saw the face of the emperor. Jiang Xufeng first went to see the eldest princess and the eldest son of the emperor, Zhuo Baolin and Wei Baolin each went to bed once.It turned out that Li Mei, who was considered to be favored, seemed to fall out of favor all of a sudden after she was confinement, but she also knew her father's current situation, and she would never dare to get in front of the emperor.

As for Ru Jieyu, who was freed from the foot restraint, she was no longer qualified to be the lord of the first palace, and had already moved to the side hall.For example, Jieyu was hit hard this time, and she was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. Later, when she heard that the queen was pregnant, she locked herself in her residence and never came out to meet people.

In Fengyi Palace, the court judge Shen was called to ask for pulse.The four maids of honor stood behind him, all watching closely.Shen Yuanpan's expression was serious, a thin layer of sweat broke out from the palm of the hand that didn't feel the pulse.

Wen Jing frowned slightly, she didn't have the nausea symptoms of early pregnancy, and even had a good appetite, even the health care nurse praised the child in her womb as sensible.

However, in the past few days, Wen Jing always felt inexplicably irritable, and rarely got angry at Lan Qian and Lan Tiao, and a teacup fell to the ground, and the hall seemed to be frozen instantly.

Wen Jing herself was the first to react. If she had an obvious temper when she was in the boudoir, since she entered the Prince's Mansion, she rarely showed her emotions.She is still lenient towards other palace people, let alone her two personal maids who have been with her for many years.

Shen Yuan judged the time for a cup of tea to examine the pulse carefully, frowned hesitantly and said: "Madam, I didn't find anything wrong. Madam's fetal image is stable, and the Qi and blood are unobstructed."

Wen Jing raised her head and gestured to Zhu Yun, Zhu Yun immediately asked the other palace servants who were serving in the palace to go out first.

Wen Jing took a shallow sip of honey water, and suppressed the dryness in her heart: "Shen Yuanjue, since you are taking care of this baby for me, I will speak up when I have something to say. Bengong's temperament I know that even if it is affected by pregnancy, there will not be such a big change."

"This main hall is the place where I often stay. Court Shen should inspect it."

Court Shen naturally agreed to the sentence, and he secretly rejoiced that the Empress Empress trusted him, so he cheered up.

From the clothes Wen Jing wears on weekdays to all kinds of things.The incense powder and eyebrow cream on the dressing table, the decorations on the Duobao Pavilion, and the potted plants in the hall, all the places where there is a possibility of poisoning and hiding poisons have been checked one by one.

But Fengyi Palace is clean, four big maids, two health nuns, Ye Song and the little eunuchs under his command guard the main hall of Fengyi Palace every day, and even the flowers and plants in the courtyard are moved. much farther.

Wen Jing tapped lightly with her fingers, and thought carefully about what was wrong. The strict defenses in Fengyi Palace couldn't stop it, so it can be seen that the poison was hidden very deeply.

The four palace maids also frowned slightly, Zhuyue's mind turned quickly, and her brows moved: "Your Majesty, could it be that the poison is not hidden in our palace?"

"What do you mean?" Lan Qian worried about the master and asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, there are three groups of palace people on duty in Fengyi Palace every day, and there are four slaves in the main hall, and the second-class Bi Luo and others often come in and out. Ye Song is waiting at the door. It is difficult to attack in the main hall. But the empress has not only stayed in the palace recently, but also often goes to Baileting."

As soon as she said that, everyone in the room froze for a moment.In fact, there are not many things in the palace that can pass the time. Doing one thing repeatedly will always be annoying.

Jiang Xufeng was busy with government affairs before, and he didn't have much time to accompany Wen Jing. Afraid that she would be bored, he ordered the Ministry of the Interior to ask the musicians to arrange some soothing and beautiful tunes for Wen Jing to play.

Wen Jing became interested after listening to it once, and later she would also call Lin Jieyu. An Baolin went to Baileting to listen to the music and watch juggling. He went there five or six times in the past month.

"Ma'am, there are many people in Baileting, so it's much easier to do something." Lan Tiao also felt that Zhuyue's guess was somewhat reasonable.

There was still a faint smile on Wen Jing's lips, but her eyes turned cold. The people behind the scenes really tried their best to make so many detours.

"Zhuyun, Zhuyue, take Shen Yuanjue to Baileting quietly for inspection, don't startle the snake."

"Lan Tiao, take someone to Lin Jieyu and An Baolin to ask if there is anything unusual today?"
