The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 408

The eight porters immediately kowtowed heavily, "Damn you slave! Damn you slave!"

Dongfang Xu frowned tightly, this was not the answer he wanted!Feng Yu is about to return to the country, but something happened to his wife in the palace, how should I face him? "If you don't give an explanation to this hall, you can be buried with the child in Madam Feng's womb!"

The faces of the bearers turned pale, and each of them faltered and couldn't explain why.They looked at each other guilty, and pushed each other away with their elbows, until Dongfang Xu showed full impatience, one of them took out a few huge pebbles from his sleeve tremblingly, and put them in front of him.

"Slaves... accidentally slipped their feet... but for some reason, these pebbles used to decorate potted plants will appear on Shunde Road, slaves should die! slaves should die!"

Dongfang Xu's eyes fell on those few stones, "You haven't seen such a big stone?"

One of them was so frightened that he cried, "The color of this cobblestone is very similar to the paving stones on Shunde Road. This is the first time I have encountered such a thing!"

He thought it would be best to quickly shift the responsibility to the palace people in charge of the garden, they are all innocent!

Dongfang Xu immediately looked at the grand eunuch beside him, "Go, find out which palace servants carried potted plants and passed Shunde Road today!"

"Yes, this servant will go now." The grand duke was full of caution, he knew that if the matter did not come to light today, there would be no peace in the palace.

Soon, Mrs. Chang Dinghou and Mrs. Chang Qinghou received the news and hurried into the palace.The woman on the couch just woke up, but she just stared at the curtain with ashen eyes, her face was lifeless.

"Yuanfang! Yuanfang...you, you..." Mrs. Chang Qinghou looked at her daughter's appearance and was so sad that she didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Changdinghou frowned tightly, her eyes full of distress.She didn't know that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, but she suddenly received the news of Yuanfang's miscarriage. She was still in shock, but she also felt deeply remorseful.

During these days, she only thought about her husband and the sons far away in Yi country, and she really didn't pay enough attention to Yuan Fang, "Yuan Fang, it's all mother's fault..."

"No, mother-in-law, don't say that..." Mrs. Chang Qinghou wanted to say that Yuanfang was an ignorant child, and she should have told them such an important matter earlier, but right now, she was afraid that such words would make Du Yuanfang feel that they He was blaming her, so he never mentioned anything about the child.

The woman on the couch had two lines of tears silently falling from the corners of her eyes. Her mind was blank. She slowly stretched out her hands to cover her flat stomach, holding her slender fingers tightly.It's all her fault, she's sorry for this child, she's sorry for her husband.

Mrs. Chang Qinghou wiped her tears and quietly left the room, leaving Mrs. Chang Dinghou to accompany Du Yuanfang.

"Where is the crown prince and side concubine?" She wanted to know the ins and outs of the matter, why she fell off the sedan chair in such a good way.

house.

Du Yuanxiu stared closely at the pebbles on the table, which she ordered someone to fetch from the bearer.

"Slaves see the side concubine empress."

"Ma'am, this is Madam Xu who manages the garden."

Du Yuanxiu raised her eyes, in just half a day, she was much haggard. "Excuse me, Mama, do you know which father-in-laws carried potted plants and passed Shunde Road today?"

"Returning to your mother, His Royal Highness just sent someone to ask about it. The slaves have checked, and there is no record of moving potted plants today." Such a major event happened in the palace, and the entire harem was tense, as if everyone was talking about the phoenix. I'm afraid I'll be involved in the matter of my wife's miscarriage.

Du Yuanxiu's eyes sank, it really wasn't an accident!For some reason, she always felt that these pebbles were strange.Even if someone from the palace accidentally dropped it, but these pebbles are huge, they will definitely make a sound when they fall on the ground, and it is impossible for no one to notice.

Her intuition told her that Du Yuanfang's miscarriage this time might have something to do with her.

"May Mammy tell which palace these pebbles came from?"

Madam Xu carefully took a look at the cobblestone, took it up her nose and smelled it, and after careful consideration, "I think this may be a cobblestone placed under the poppie basin, with some pollen from the poppy on it. It's poppy season now."

poppy?Du Yuanxiu seemed to be recalling something, Madam Xu added, "The pollen has a faint red color, it can be seen that it is a peerless beauty who has just entered the palace recently, and this kind of peerless beauty is only found in the palace of the crown prince and the courtyard of the crown princess. , and only in the Empress Dowager’s Palace.”

Princess!Du Yuanxiu's head shook suddenly, and her body couldn't help shaking slightly.

Crown Princess...Princess Concubine...So she hasn't given up yet!Even if there is insufficient evidence at this time, Du Yuanxiu can be sure that this matter has something to do with Xiyue.She has always wanted to harm the child in her womb, besides, everyone in the Tai's womb knew that Yuanfang was going to enter the palace today.

So... Yuanfang was really dragged down by herself!What the princess wants to deal with is herself, but she just doesn't want to, God's blessing didn't let her fall, otherwise she might not be able to keep the dragon in her belly.

Mother Xu looked at the expression on Du Yuanxiu's face at the moment, and cautiously restrained her gaze.How many people can explain everything in the harem clearly.They are slaves, they can only do their duty and serve carefully, it is a blessing not to cause trouble to the upper body.

"Go down, don't say anything about this."

"Yes, slaves obey."

Du Yuanxiu was silent for a moment, then looked at the maid beside her, "Go and find out where the princess went today."

Not long after, Mrs. Chang Qinghou came outside the house, "Prince and side concubine."

Du Yuanxiu stood up immediately, both of them looked ugly. "Mother..." Her eyes were moist, and she tried her best to suppress the anger and sadness in her heart. At this moment, she felt ashamed to face her mother, let alone visit Du Yuanfang again.

"What, what's going on here? Why Yuanfang..."

Du Yuanxiu's eyes darkened, and the hands in her sleeves were tightly clenched.Princess!She tolerated it several times, but she didn't want to, but it led to today's big mistake!I can no longer pamper that princess of Yi Kingdom like this, it is all because of my own incompetence that my sister lost her child!

People in this world are dangerous, Du Yuanxiu deeply understands at this moment, if you take one step back, the enemy will take three steps forward!At that time, not only will I harm myself, but I will also implicate my family!
In the imperial study.

"Your Highness, it's not good..." Today's ups and downs continued, and a man came from outside the palace, "I don't know if His Highness gave an order to sell weapons, bows and crossbows wantonly?"

Dongfang Xu's eyes were full of surprise, "What's going on?"

The man immediately restrained his expression, as expected!

"Please look, Your Highness!" He took out a letter from his pocket. In the letter was Dongfang Xu's handwriting. It actually sold a large number of weapons produced by the weapon iron shop in his hand at a low price, and transported them to the border and crossed the river. go abroad!
"This hall has never written such a letter!" Dongfang Xu was shocked, knowing that the weapons and iron shops in his hands had stored up a lot of extremely lethal weapons, waiting to be used one day, and it was impossible for him to know Ordered them all for sale!

"But, Your Highness, there is His Highness's jade pendant on this letter..."

The place where the letter was signed was indeed the jade pendant that Dongfang Xu carried with him, and the red ink on the seal in the middle was very clear, it was not a fake!
Dongfang Xu reached out and took off the jade pendant on his waist. He never left his body, so who gave such an order? !The only possibility is that his jade pendant was stolen and carved without his knowledge!
The handsome man's face was full of gloomyness, how could such a thing happen! "Immediately order that weapons are not allowed to be shipped out of the country!"

"Your Highness, three batches have already been sent out. Even if we stop it immediately, we will lose a lot."

Dongfang Xu raised his eyes sharply, and the man immediately held his breath. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened his mouth, "Your Highness, this subordinate believes that this matter should be done by someone close to His Highness. This seal is true, and His Highness's jade pendant is still on him, could it be that someone took advantage of His Highness's inattention and secretly carved the appearance of the jade pendant..."

He was right, and now there was only one reasonable explanation!
People who are close to him... A beautiful face immediately appeared in Dongfang Xu's mind, his eyes sank, "Come here, send an order to search the empress's uterus wantonly, and not leave any corner behind!"

The movement here quickly alarmed Xiyue, and a large number of guards from the East Palace immediately came to the room, and began to search from every corner.

Xiyue looked at them as if they were looking for something, a flash of light flashed in her mind, and a bad premonition came to her heart immediately.

And Du Yuanxiu's side.

Several guards from the East Palace suddenly rushed into Du Yuanfang's room, Mrs. Chang Dinghou and Mrs. Chang Qinghou frowned, "What happened?!"

"You two Mrs. Marquis, you're being rude! Your Highness ordered a full search of the Crown Prince's womb."

The two ladies looked at each other, but the eyes of the woman on the couch moved slightly, and she looked worriedly at the door of the house.

At this time, a voice sounded from outside, "Found it!"

What did you find? !Mrs. Hou Ye immediately walked out of the house, and saw a group of Eastern Palace guards coming out of Du Yuanxiu's room, and then escorting the woman with serious face.

"Ah? The crown prince's side concubine!" Mrs. Chang Qinghou couldn't help shouting. Du Yuanxiu frowned tightly when she heard her reputation, and followed the guards out of their sight.

"Prince and side concubine..." A weak voice sounded beside her, and Mrs. Chang Dinghou was taken aback, "Yuanfang, hurry up, go back and lie down! Your body is important..."

Du Yuanfang was full of worries. At this moment, she had already forgotten about her miscarriage just now. With such a big commotion, her sister was taken away. Could it be that something happened.

Soon, Du Yuanxiu was taken to the imperial study.

The commander of the guards of the Eastern Palace presented something. Dongfang Xu glanced at it lightly, and then looked at Du Yuanxiu, "This was found from your house. What's the explanation?"

Du Yuanxiu didn't understand what happened, she immediately turned her eyes to that thing, and when she looked carefully, it turned out to be a piece of dried up mud with a deep imprint on it.
