Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 112

In the past two days, I couldn't take over due to my illness, but as long as I recovered, all the affairs of the harem would be piled up in her Golden Phoenix Palace, and no one else could interfere.


Even on Concubine Hua's side, the emperor just asked the attendant to help, and there was no more to say.

Therefore, thinking that Concubine Hua, who was temporarily taking care of the harem on her behalf, came here today, and she must have encountered something that had to be decided by her, thus allowing her to come to her own Golden Phoenix Palace.


"Sister is really good at predicting things, hehe, two days ago, the queen mother ordered my sister to arrange the draft, and now the draftees have been selected by the teacher, and all the regular girls have moved into Chuxiu Palace. The emperor said that the selection needs to be decided by the younger sister and the older sister together, so the younger sister wants to come and ask the older sister, when is the selection date feasible?".


As she spoke, she asked her personal court lady Ning'er to hand over the draft roster, Xiao Taohong took it, and then handed it to Yun Qing.

"Okay, sister Concubine Hua has worked hard these days." Yun Qing took a look at the list in the show book, and found that in addition to the three show books listed separately before, it was noted that there were several people who were not acclimatized to the environment and contracted cold disease. Except for those who were eliminated due to various small physical defects, almost all others were selected.


And in another book of show girls sent by the folks, many show girls were eliminated.

The reason is simple. Compared with the beautiful girls carefully selected from the kings and merchants of various places, they lack the kind of beauty and maintenance that is unique to nature, but compared with the daughters of high officials, they have no wealth and no power. , I think the one who can stay here must be a daughter with excellent beauty.


So Yun Qing didn't look at the list of individual albums, but took a closer look at the list of dozens of candidates in the other book, then nodded slightly, closed the show book, and said with a smile:

"My sister handles the affairs very carefully. I can rest assured that this matter is left to my sister to handle it. Hehe, although my body has recovered well in the past two days, it is also sad to sit for half a day to participate in the selection of Zhuxiu. How about In this way, five days later will be the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, then I will go to Chuxiu Palace with my younger sister to participate in the selection."


"It's all up to my sister!" He Ruowan smiled lightly on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes. Seeing that Yun Qing seemed to be pale, she couldn't help flashing her eyes, and said with a smile: "My sister has been ill these days, I'm afraid it's her. I don’t know what happened in the palace these few days, right? Hehe, a few days ago, my sister had an assassin in the palace!”.


As she said that, she frowned, looked at Yun Qing's eyes that seemed puzzled, and said with a smile: "At that time, the emperor was sleeping in his younger sister's palace, but suddenly he heard someone arguing about an assassin, and after asking, he found out that it was The king of Ming and Qing found the assassin and tracked it all the way to his sister's palace. It seemed that he was still fighting the assassin, but let the assassin escape. Later, the commander of the imperial forest found several roots on the side of his sister's side hall that were similar to those from his sister on Qingming day. The golden needle taken out of the body is exactly the same thing, I think the assassin is the same person in the Qingming Festival."


Yun Qing raised her brows slightly, looked at He Ruowan indifferently, and didn't answer, wanted to hear what she said suddenly, but what did she mean?

And He Ruowan didn't mean to ask Yun Qing to ask her at all, she still took a sip of hot tea and said, "So my sister is very worried about my sister, I don't know if my sister has offended someone, and let assassins target her up?".


Bi Tao's palms tightened, and she looked at He Ruowan who was smiling so obviously with some resentment, wishing she could step forward and give her a slap.

Last time, they swallowed all the poisoning of the young lady's medicinal food and did not make a sound, but did this woman really think that the young lady was easy to bully, and she dared not make a sound even though she knew she was being framed?


Hmph, don't rely on the emperor's vague words to end the matter and think that others don't know. Who else is the one who kills the young lady in the harem except her, Concubine Hua?
Even though the emperor is pampering her now, doesn't the emperor still hand over all the power in the harem to the young lady?

No matter how capable her concubine Hua is, she is just a vase concubine with the name of serving her bed.


"If my sister didn't remind me, I would have almost forgotten it. Presumably, I must have offended the villain unintentionally, otherwise I wouldn't have been assassinated first and poisoned later." Yun Qing cast a cold glance at He Ruowan , the arc of the corner of the mouth is light and cool:

"Physician Hua has found out that a few days ago, someone had quietly added a medicine that shouldn't exist in the medicated diet of this Palace—veratrol. Hehe, although the poison of the medicine is not strong, I have already lost blood in this Palace. In many cases, if you take this substance by mistake, you will vomit blood and die. Veratrum is against ginseng. Presumably someone is proficient in medical science and knows that nourishing ginseng must be included in the medicinal diet of this palace, so it is easy to mix this substance into the medicine. Thinking about it, but It’s also a lot of work.”


He Ruowan's complexion changed slightly, but her gaze was unafraid, she still looked closely at Yun Qing's beautiful eyes, and said with a fake smile: "Oh, since my sister found out that someone was poisoning, why didn't you find out the person behind the scenes? , let the emperor uphold justice for my sister?"


She snorted coldly in her heart, not to mention that she, Yun Qing, couldn't find out who gave the drug, but even if she found out, who would admit to the deadly unsubstantiated conspiracy!

This time she didn't take advantage of any of the maids in Yunqing Palace, including Qiuyue who didn't know about it, so she was absolutely sure that Yunqing could only suffer from being dumb and had nothing to say.


"My sister has a heart, I just don't want to make things big! If I really want to discuss it, why do I need the emperor to come forward after I am a first palace?" Yun Qing chuckled, and his gaze at He Ruowan also became deep. Before she was about to speak again, she interrupted lightly: "I'm a little tired. If my sister has nothing else to do, please go back first.".


"Yes, since my sister is not feeling well, then my sister will leave first!" I wanted to see Yun Qing look scared or upset, but he didn't, which made He Ruowan couldn't help feeling resentful, under her calm and smiling gaze, With only a slight blessing, he immediately resigned.


Hmph, she won't let her go, as long as she's in the clear, she won't let her go!
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but pull a sinister smile on her face, which made Qiuyue who was standing outside the hall couldn't help being startled.


And when she heard He Ruowan's jingle that couldn't cover up her cold snort when she left, Xiao Taohong, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but frowned slightly.
