Queen is fearless

Chapter 218 Epidemic
There were a lot of incidents at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, but the palace banquet on the first day of junior high school was very peaceful and there were no accidents.

After returning to Fengyang Palace, Zhou Jing simply stayed by Gu Jinzhi's side, holding her body and letting her lean in his arms.

Regarding this, Gu Jinzhi was a little helpless, but since there was a free human cushion, it was quite comfortable to lean on, so she followed suit.

"I saw my mother today, and she wants to come to the palace to accompany me tomorrow, and I have already agreed." Thinking of the things discussed with Gu Fang, Gu Jinzhi said to Zhou Jing.

"If you need anything, feel free to ask someone to buy it. As for those annoying things, you don't have to worry about it, let me take care of it."

This time, Zhou Jing's attitude was very firm, Gu Jinzhi leaned on him, and responded with a smile.

Originally, she didn't intend to take over this matter, after all, everything that should be dealt with has already been dealt with.

The only thing to wait is for Qiuyue to wake up, and to continue the layout, waiting to find out Wen Xiuyuan's fox tail.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Lin Jieyu is dead." In Yongchun Palace, Pearl was shocked by the news.

"Dead?" She wasn't the only one who was shocked, Concubine Dong was also surprised after hearing this.

Although she and Lin Jieyu had an endless relationship, but a few days ago, she even sent someone to write a note to her to make her angry. How could she die if she died?

"What is the reason, have you figured it out?" Because of the emperor's order, she was confined in the Yongchun Palace, and it was very difficult to know what news.

"The servant girl heard that it was poisoning, and a lot of things happened at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve."

Pearl didn't know much, so she picked what she knew and told Concubine Dong.

"I'm afraid all of this is the empress's handiwork. As expected of the empress, she is such a ruthless character."

Because the news was incomplete, both Concubine Dong and Zhuzhu thought that the queen did it.

"Now, Mrs. Lin is no longer here. I'm afraid it will be my turn next, right?"

Narrowing her eyes, Concubine Dong leaned back on the chair, her voice full of desolation.

"Your Majesty, don't think about these unlucky things, there will definitely be a solution!" Pearl felt a little more resentment, she must find a way to let the master leave Yongchun Palace.

Concubine Xia's death involved the matter of the stove, so Gu Jinzhi sent someone to Zhaochun Palace to speak.

When choosing the stove, Jiang Zhaohua was there, and she picked out two stoves.

Since there is a problem with the hand stove in Fengyang Palace, the one she took away may also have a problem.

After learning the news, Jiang Zhaohua checked the hand stove brought back from Fengyang Palace, and sure enough, there was a coating on it where he couldn't even notice it.

Fortunately, she didn't use it, otherwise, I don't know what would have happened.

The concubines in the harem heard that someone could manipulate the stove, and checked theirs carefully. Besides, those who were willing to use spices before put away all the spices because of Lin Jieyu's matter.

"One by one, I really regret my life." In Zhongcui Palace, after hearing the news, Wen Xiuyuan was not in a very good mood.

Although Lin Jieyu is dead, but Qiuyue is still alive, and now that there is such commotion in the harem again, won't it be very difficult for her to do something by herself in the future?
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Dongqing always obeyed her orders, so she naturally wanted to ask Wen Xiuyuan what she meant.

"What else can I do? Be careful during this time, so as not to be discovered, the queen is an idiot, but the emperor is not!"

So many things happened, but the empress acted as if nothing happened, leaving everything to the emperor to investigate. She was very comfortable in Fengyang Palace every day, accompanied by her own mother.

"Then your previous arrangements?" Wen Xiuyuan made several arrangements in a row before.

In addition to scheming against Jiang Zhaohua and Lin Jieyu, Dongqing also bribed one of the midwives who were in charge of delivering the queen.

After all, she is a queen. From midwives to wet nurses, she has selected several of them. Although they have undergone strict screening, there are always people who are tempted by money and wealth in this world.

Even if money is useless, there are always other things that can be used as threats, but ordinary people will have weaknesses.

"It's been arranged before, so there is no need to change it." Taking a few deep breaths, Wen Xiuyuan said.

The fast horse entered the capital from the outside of the capital, without stopping at all, and headed towards the palace.

Because Gu Fang entered the palace, the queen was accompanied by someone. In the past few days, except for the occasional stay in Fengyang Palace, Zhou Jing spent most of his time dealing with court affairs.

Although it is sealed, Zhou Jing still has a private seal exclusive to the emperor, and some small matters can be handled with the private seal.

Instead, these things can be postponed until the next year, but if you are idle, you are idle, and he can handle everything he can handle.

What happened on New Year's Eve is still under investigation.

Previously in Lin Jieyu's residence, he found a problem in the incense burner, Yuan Bao was ordered to search it several times carefully, but found nothing.

In addition to Qingqiu Pavilion, the Zhenxia Pavilion where Xia Guibin lived before his death was also carefully searched.

In addition to the things attached to the hand stove, the poison mixed in the incense burner was also found.

Both Zhou Jing and Gu Jinzhi felt that this was deliberately framed by someone.

Concubine Xia Gui is dead, a dead person can no longer speak, no matter what crime he is accused of, he has no way to justify himself.

Therefore, the poisoner must be someone else.

But right now, although Qiuyue's condition is improving, she has no intention of waking up. Zhou Jing sent someone to protect her safety.

This made Wen Xiuyuan, who wanted to get rid of Qiuyue, a little helpless.

She thought of a way, but there was nothing she could do. She could only hope that even if Qiuyue woke up, she wouldn't be able to say anything.

"Report to the emperor, there is an urgent delivery of [-] miles." In the Zhou Dynasty, urgent letters were usually only delivered at the border, and [-] miles was the most urgent among them.

Zhou Jing raised his head and gave an order, and immediately someone came in with Yuan Bao and saluted him, "Report to the emperor, there is an epidemic at the border."

It stands to reason that there shouldn't be an epidemic at this time of year, but unfortunately, there is an epidemic.

Inside the border, there are military doctors and doctors in the city, but these people are not enough.

"Epidemic? What epidemic is it?" Zhou Jing frowned. You must know that no matter what the epidemic is, the development of the epidemic will be very scary.

The distance between the border and the capital is not close, and I don't know how it has developed during this period of time.

"Going back to the emperor, I still don't know what the disease is. General Gu sent the last general to come back and pass the message, asking the emperor to send a doctor to bring the medicine to the border!"

Kneeling on the ground, the soldier who came to deliver the letter reported back to Zhou Jing, who took the letter out of his pocket and handed it to Yuan Bao.

The letter was written by Gu Anzhi himself, and the border where the epidemic occurred was the border where he was stationed...
