The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 278
"Niang Niang, do you think this Concubine Yu is stupid or not, she actually took a dagger and threw herself into the net in front of Emperor Chen?" Tonight, no one in the entire Imperial Palace of Chen Kingdom slept, and Xinlan was full of disdain to discuss what happened just now.

A slightly tired Xiyue stroked her forehead, "Hmph, it's just to put on a show in front of Emperor Xiao."

"What did you say?" Xinlan didn't pay attention to the meaning of Xiyue's words.

The beautiful woman lazily raised her eyes and glared at her, "Speak up, do your duty well."

However, this Chenhuang is really smart, he actually came up with such a way to destroy Xiaohuang's plan, of course Xiyue knew that Xiaohuang wanted to use this to force Chenhuang to deal with the queen, or to give him something that would make people's heart beat. It is just that I did not expect that someone would throw themselves into the trap now, and in the end what Xiao Huang got was the corpse of the "culprit", that's all, at most he would give some mild compensation.

Xiyue just felt sorry for Concubine Yu a little bit, she didn't kill the person, but she wanted to chase her to the point of the sword, it really was the most ruthless emperor's family, it might be like glue yesterday, and it might lose her life tomorrow.

At this time, a small voice piercing through the air came, and the two of them looked out the window vigilantly for a moment, and saw a small hole in the thin layer of window paper. The code was found on the portrait.

"My lady..."

Xiyue's face was extremely ugly, the messenger had already been poisoned to death by herself, how could she appear again?Or in a short period of time, the emperor has already found someone else to replace the envoy?Or, is the emperor doubting himself?
Xiyue couldn't help thinking a lot, and soon cold sweat broke out from her palms.

……

In the bamboo forest.

In the pitch-black night, that hazy figure stood there strangely, causing Xiyue to gasp, and she tentatively called out, "An envoy?"

However, the man in black robe did not respond.

Xiyue's hands were behind her back, and a short dagger was hidden in her palm. She wasn't sure if the man in black robe would do anything unfavorable to her when she turned around.However, the sound of footsteps got closer, and the man finally turned around faintly, but the cloak covered half of his face, so he couldn't see clearly.

"messenger?"

Xiyue tried hard to see something from this man, but a strange voice sounded.

"Princess, the emperor will return to the palace soon, and I will entrust you with a serious task."

Xiyue raised her brows, but she knew it in her heart but pretended to be cautious, "Who are you?! Why are you pretending to be an envoy?"

The black-robed man smiled faintly, "The previous envoy has been sent back to Yi Kingdom by the emperor, and from today onwards, I will be in charge of making contact."

Send back to Yi Kingdom?The emperor knew clearly that the envoy was missing, but let this person hide something from him. Sure enough, the emperor has already suspected it!Could it be that he wanted to test whether he would make a move?

"How will I know that you were sent by the emperor?"

A token immediately appeared in the black-robed man's hand, Xiyue slightly relaxed her tense nerves, and immediately smiled, "Forgive Xiyue for having to be cautious, I wonder what the emperor wants Xiyue to do? "

"I believe it's not difficult for the princess, she just needs to steal one thing." The man paused slightly, "I believe the princess should know that the prince of Chen Kingdom will carry a jade pendant with him, right?"

Jade pendant?The smile on Xiyue's face froze, Dongfang Xu was very vigilant every time he saw her, and he didn't allow herself to get close to him, she really didn't pay attention to what the prince wore.

But at this time, she could only smile, "Well, could it be that I want Bengong to steal that jade pendant?"

"That jade pendant is the prince's unique token. With that jade pendant, you can do many things. The emperor ordered the princess to hand over the jade pendant to the emperor before he returns to the country!"

This matter is not difficult. "Xiyue understands, there is someone to work for."

I thought he would say something, but there was a weird silence around me, Xiyue raised her eyes suspiciously, but saw that man seemed to be staring at her, his motionless appearance made Xiyue gasp inwardly Cool.

"Ha ha."

Leaving behind a slight smile, the cold wind blew by, and in the blink of an eye, there was only the rustling of leaves in the forest, and the figure of the man in black robe disappeared.

What does this sneer mean?Xiyue frowned tightly, could it be, what did he see?If His Majesty came to question her personally, then Xiyue wouldn't be so worried, because she had already thought of a set of excuses that people could not find fault with, and she could completely dispel her suspicions, but now, His Majesty didn't have the slightest suspicion. This action made Xiyue even more uneasy.

Your Highness's jade pendant?It seems that I still need the assistance of the prince in this matter.

……

The next day.

"Ma'am, were you tired yesterday?"

The maid gently helped Du Yuanxiu to press the temple. Last night, the crown prince and the side concubine returned to the palace very late. Now the side concubine is pregnant, and the empress promised to take good care of her. Seeing Du Yuanxiu looking tired today, the tone of the palace maid It's full of worries.

However, the woman shook her head slightly, "No, it's just that I can't sleep well at night."

"Slaves want to call Yongji county master into the palace to treat the empress?"

Speaking of Yunshu, Du Yuanxiu's movements froze. Recalling His Highness's tenderness that night, she felt that when she faced Yunshu alone, she couldn't help being envious and blaming herself, "No, help me out for a walk, It might be much better."

A layer of frost formed on the surface of the lake in the crown prince's womb, and the vast expanse of whiteness was just like Du Yuanxiu's mood at the moment.

His Highness has never set foot in her bedroom except for often ordering people to deliver anti-pregnancy tonics. Yesterday, how could Du Yuanxiu not feel His Highness's apparent alienation? Until now, His Highness is still unwilling to accept her Bar.

Involuntarily reaching out to caress her belly, Du Yuanxiu felt a little melancholy, wondering if His Highness would treat her differently after the baby in her womb was born, at least, this was the unbreakable bond between her and His Highness .

"Sister, why did you come out today? It's cold these days, aren't you afraid of freezing?" At this moment, a concerned voice came from behind, Du Yuanxiu turned around, and saw a group of people from far to near.

The leading woman was wearing a long rose red dress, and her snow-white fox fur set off her beautiful face.But Du Yuanxiu couldn't help but think of the incident where she and the second imperial concubine both fell into the lake. Was it really related to Xiyue?
"What's my sister thinking? Come on, go into the pavilion to warm up." Xiyue warmly held Du Yuanxiu's cold little hand, "Oh, look at my sister's hand, why is it so cold, how do you all serve the master? !"

Xiyue's face immediately turned cold, and the maid beside Du Yuanxiu immediately knelt down in fear, "Damn this servant girl, please calm down, princess and concubine!"

However, this voice begging for mercy was so loud that it made Xiyue's heart even more unhappy.

He went out by himself with only ten court ladies by his side, but this Du Yuanxiu went out with so many people behind him. Isn't this a slap in the face?

"Sister, it's none of their business, it's because my sister is weak."

"Sister, you can't get used to these servants like this, otherwise they will forget their identities and may step on the master's head at any time." Xiyue had a deep smile on her face, and then she took Du Yuanxiu to sit down. In the pavilion, heaters were raised around them, and the instant warmth wrapped around them.

"Hey, my sister is a healthy person now, so you should pay attention to everything. I thought that my sister would go to my sister's place today, but I didn't expect to meet her here. It's really a fate."

Enthusiastic Xiyue's face was full of concern, and the look of asking for warmth made Du Yuanxiu doubt even more whether he was the heart of a villain and jealous of the belly of a gentleman.

"Oh, my sister's complexion is not very good. I heard that yesterday was Miss Du San's big day. It's a pity that my sister can't go out of the palace, but my sister is also true. Now that I am a healthy person, even if I don't think about myself, I still have to think about it. Think about the child in the belly, don't get tired!"

Xiyue told her sincerely, "By the way, my sister has the secret recipe of Fuyi Kingdom here, which is especially nourishing for those who are pregnant, Xinlan."

"Yes, ma'am." Xinlan smiled deeply, then turned around and retreated quickly.

The exquisite pastries were placed on the table, Xiyue didn't seem to notice Du Yuanxiu's vigilant look, and she just told a healthy person to pay attention to all aspects, until Xinlan brought up the hot soup, "Sister, this soup It's still hot, drink it quickly to warm up your body."

Du Yuanxiu's eyes fell on the pitch-black soup, and a strong fragrance came to his nostrils, while Xiyue's eyes were filled with a deep smile, and he just stared at her expectantly.

"Sister, why don't you drink?"

After a long time, Du Yuanxiu made a move. She slowly pushed the bowl of soup aside, "Sister, County Lord Yongji has ordered that my sister is not allowed to take medicine at will unless it is given by the County Lord."

The smile on Xiyue's face slowly faded, "So that's the case, my sister didn't think carefully, but this tonic is hard to find. In Yi Kingdom, every concubine and concubine who is pregnant takes this medicine. Or should I say , does my sister not believe my sister?"

The unconcealable disappointment in her eyes made Du Yuanxiu startled, and stood up hastily, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's just that the Lord Yongji has repeatedly instructed me, and my sister dare not go beyond the rules, otherwise if His Highness finds out ..."

"My sister is joking with my younger sister. Since it is the order of the county magistrate Yongji, how can my elder sister embarrass my younger sister?" Xiyue smiled and stretched out her hand, picked up the soup and drank most of it. Du Yuanxiu was surprised by her action and had to Admittedly, just now she really doubted whether Xiyue had tampered with the medicine, but now it seems that she has failed her good intentions.

Could it be that everything is superfluous?

"Sister must be tired too, right? Go back to rest earlier." Xiyue stood up, looked at Du Yuanxiu's apologetic gaze, and then slowly turned around.

"Sister, go slowly..."

"En." He responded lightly, and when he turned around, Du Yuanxiu didn't see the cold light that flashed away in Xiyue's eyes.
