Chapter 318 The Empress Dowager's Secret

"The queen mother asked someone to stop me. Could it be that even I suspect it?" A sharp voice sounded, and then Princess An appeared in the hall, followed by an eunuch who wanted to stop her, but the eunuch couldn't stop her. Compared with her light work?

The Empress Dowager's face changed, she glared at the eunuch, and said sharply: "Eldest Princess dares to stop anything that doesn't have eyes, so get out of here!"

Fang Qingluo sneered in her heart, the queen mother is too fake, she said that such a big event happened in Ci'an Palace, why the eldest princess didn't show up, it was the queen mother who stopped her after a long time, maybe it wasn't the last time she wrote to the eldest princess , Let the eldest princess remind the queen mother about the counterfeit goods, but the queen mother is also suspicious of her own daughter, right?
The royal family has no family ties, not to mention being suspicious. For the sake of rights, father and son brothers often turn against each other. Fang Qingluo looked at the eldest princess with some distress, and sighed silently.

"Qing Luo, why are you injured?" Seeing the bandage on Fang Qingluo's arm and her pale face, the eldest princess rushed over anxiously, and the face of the queen mother who was not far away became gloomy again.

Fang Qingluo forcefully forced a smile, and said, "It doesn't matter, I was attacked by a Gu insect just now, I cut it myself, and it will be healed in a few days."

The eldest princess nodded, then saluted the emperor, and then asked a few words about King Lu's situation. When she heard that she wanted a strange fragrance, she suddenly said: "I remember that my father gave my mother a piece of nine-turn ambergris, I don't know if it will work?"

"If there really is Nine-Turn Ambergris, I think I can be [-]% sure." Fang Qingluo said, she glanced at the Queen Mother, why didn't the Queen Mother just say it directly?
The queen mother didn't answer immediately, her eyes flickered.At this moment, a report came from outside, saying that Princess Lu, side concubine, and noble concubine asked to see her.The queen mother frowned, and let people in.

"Didn't I tell you to wait in the side hall? Why do you have to come here and scare you?" The queen mother looked at Wei Wenhui and the three of them, and said in an unhappy tone.

Wei Wenhui saluted the queen mother, and said humbly: "The sisters are worried about the safety of the prince, thinking that even if they are watching from the side, it is okay to pray for the prince. Please don't drive us away, otherwise we will be really anxious in the side hall. very."

Seeing Wei Wenhui's sincere attitude, the queen mother knew that she was really nervous about King Lv, so her expression softened a little, "Forget it, you step aside and don't get in the way."

The three of Wei Wenhui hurriedly retreated to the side, but their eyes were fixed on King Lu, and they all looked worried.

Fang Qingluo looked at the Queen Mother, and said: "If there is Nine-Turn Ambergris, please get it quickly, the situation of King Lu can't be delayed any longer, otherwise Gu insects will gather in the eyes and there will be no way to recover."

"It has been many years since the first emperor bestowed incense, and Ai's family has to go back and look for it. If you find it, you will send it here immediately." After finishing speaking, the queen mother left the hall and walked quickly towards the storeroom in the back hall.

Fang Qingluo and the eldest princess glanced at each other. The treasure bestowed by the late emperor is such a rare fragrance, no one would throw it away, right?How come you don't know where to put it?

"Uncle Huang, please allow Qing Luo to find a room in the palace to adjust his breathing, so that he can adjust his condition to the best, and then he can give the acupuncture to King Lu smoothly." Fang Qingluo said.

"Yes, you were injured. You should go and rest for a while. After the queen mother finds the nine-turn ambergris, I will order someone to inform you." After the emperor finished speaking, he ordered the female officer to make arrangements, and the eldest princess also He proposed to accompany and take care of Fang Qingluo, the emperor himself had no objection, the two went to the room arranged by the female officer, closed the door and started talking.

"Qing Luo, do you have something to tell me?" the eldest princess asked.

Fang Qingluo nodded, "I suspect that Nine-Turn Ambergris is not in Ci'an Palace at all, is it convenient for Auntie to send someone to monitor the movements of the Queen Mother?"

The eldest princess smiled wryly, "The Queen Mother is on guard against me now. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to find out anything, but don't worry, Brother Huang has definitely made arrangements, and he will naturally tell us when the time comes."

"In the Ci'an Palace, there are people repeatedly laying and controlling Gu. I think it's not easy. I was assassinated on the way here, and I was stabbed twice in the palace. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have followed the same now." It's like the king of law has been poisoned." Fang Qingluo said with a sigh.

The eldest princess said in surprise: "I only knew that you were assassinated on the way, so I rushed in, but I didn't expect that there were still people in the palace who continued to target you. Who is hiding in the Ci'an Palace? Can you really hide it with just one hand?" God?"

"It is said that there are many people in Jiuliqi, but my grandma dare not say that she can run amok in the palace without being discovered, so I suspect that the person who poisoned and poisoned has a great backer in the palace, or his master You can cover the sky with one hand, otherwise one person can't hide so well." Fang Qingluo said.

"Your analysis makes some sense." The eldest princess thought for a long time and said, "It can't be the queen mother, and it can't be the emperor's brother. This situation is not good for him. In this way, the most powerful person in the palace is only The empress is now, but it is impossible, this situation is not good for the emperor, it is also not good for her, besides, the person behind the scenes also wants you to die, why does the queen want to target you?"

In fact, Fang Qingluo also thought of the queen, but these words were groundless, she would not tell the emperor, she could only tell her trusted eldest princess.

"That's why I can't figure out the joints. I just saw the queen mother's expression changed, so I wanted to find out from her to see if I could have any clues." Fang Qingluo said.

The eldest princess stomped around the room, and after a while she said: "I think the Queen Mother's expression was different because she gave Webster the nine-turn ambergris. Although it was a gift from the late emperor, it is generally not Transfer it to someone else, so it is inconvenient for her to mention it just now."

It seems that the queen mother often sent things to her natal family, and the eldest princess knew her better, Fang Qingluo slandered.

The two talked a few more words, and Fang Qingluo crossed his knees to adjust his breath. Not long after noon, a court lady brought food over. Fang Qingluo checked it carefully before eating with the eldest princess.

After lunch, Fang Qingluo took a nap for half an hour. When he woke up, he found that the Queen Mother still hadn't found Nine-Turn Ambergris.

When it was time for dinner, there was still no news from the Queen Mother, and the Emperor sent someone to invite them to have a meal. The two of them couldn't sit still for a long time, and just in time to ask the Emperor about the situation, they followed the eunuch who sent the letter to the Imperial Study.

The emperor didn't seem to be in the mood to hold a banquet, the imperial study room only set up a simple table, only the three of them dined, and the dishes were not too much.

"Brother Huang, how did you find out?" the eldest princess asked straight to the point.

The emperor sighed, and said: "The Empress Dowager gave the nine-turn ambergris to Wei Shi in the early years, and asked Wei Shi to donate it to the Yao family. On the way back, things were robbed by a group of men in black."

"What?" The eldest princess jumped up, "Why is the queen mother getting more and more confused, how can such a mistake happen at this juncture?"

After all, King Lu is also the eldest princess's nephew, no matter how mischievous King Lu is on weekdays, as long as he doesn't rebel, the eldest princess will not want anything to happen to him.

"The empress mother is also very upset, and she doesn't want anyone to leak the news. She will send someone to investigate like crazy. Naturally, it's not easy for me to ask." The emperor shook his head and said.

"The Yao family is the Yao family, the concubine Yao's natal family, right?" Fang Qingluo asked suddenly.

"Yes, that's the Yao family." The eldest princess said.

The corner of Fang Qingluo's mouth turned into a sarcastic arc. Concubine Yao almost deafened Ruizhu's ears before. She naturally held a grudge and sent someone to investigate some things about Yao's family. She didn't know much about it. It is clear that before the Empress Dowager married the first emperor, she had a very good relationship with Yao's cousin.So the Nine Turns Ambergris was donated by the Wei family to the Yao family, it was obvious that the Empress Dowager gave it to her lover in private, that's why she had a guilty conscience, and it was so hard to talk about it in the hall.

The emperor must also know this, so he used the word "guilty" just now when he mentioned the queen mother.

"Then if I can't find Nine-Turn Ambergris, can there be something else instead?" The eldest princess looked at Fang Qingluo with some pleading.

"Any fragrance is fine, but the time is urgent. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a top-quality fragrance." Fang Qingluo paused. It’s time to go back to heaven.”

Both the eldest princess and the emperor were taken aback. It was already dark, and there were not many hours left.

The emperor hurriedly asked someone to bring the words to the queen mother, but unexpectedly, the queen mother rushed to the imperial study and asked Fang Qingluo sharply: "Why didn't you say it earlier? You only said it now, you deliberately wanted to kill Li King?"

Fang Qingluo slammed the chopsticks onto the table with a snap, "Queen Mother, feel your conscience when you speak. You said that the Nine-Turn Ambergris is in the warehouse, and it takes only an hour to go back and forth to get it. Besides, I also mentioned that the time cannot be delayed. Yes, who would have thought that a whole day has passed, so the responsibility is still on me? I saved people with good intentions, and almost lost my life, and I was seriously injured. In turn, I would kill the king of law? If not For the sake of Uncle Huang and Auntie, whether I love this person or not, I can go back to Jiuli with my grandma, even if King Lu is dead, it has nothing to do with me!"

"You, you..." The queen mother was so angry that she couldn't speak.

The emperor hurriedly winked at the eldest princess, and the eldest princess supported the queen mother and persuaded: "The queen mother calms down, the most urgent thing is to find out if there are other strange fragrances, it is important to save people."

The queen mother took a deep breath, she knew that Fang Qingluo was still useful at this time, and she had to endure it for the sake of King Lu.

"Yes, empress mother, please calm down. I will make a decree to collect strange fragrances from civil and military officials. Those who donate will be rewarded. I will be able to find a replacement as soon as possible." The emperor went to take a pen to write the imperial edict. It will be white for a while and red for a while, she has already understood, everyone in this room knows that the Nine Turns Ambergris will not be available.

She might catch the gang, but time was running out.

After the imperial decree was handed down, many officials went to the palace overnight to offer incense, but unfortunately, they were not even as good as Wen Yunxiang, which was a tribute from the Western Regions.Soon, the eunuch reported that someone offered Fengqi Qinanxiang, Fang Qingluo was a little surprised, didn't that stuff only exist in legends?
