Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 227

Ning'er said that Caiyi has always been serious and responsible, so she can rest assured that she will take care of the mother's daily life and other small matters, so that she can take better care of the mother.

In fact, she has always done a good job and never made any mistakes.


So when she heard about her suicide, Ning'er was very sad, saying that she was a good girl, but she just went away like this, really pitiful.I even sighed that this girl is so good-looking, why did she say that she was sorry for the empress!

Although the mother's fetus was not saved, it was not her fault alone. All of them who served the mother were at fault. It was because they did not take good care of the mother.


"The next official, Liu Quan, will see the emperor and empress!" During the conversation, Imperial Physician Liu just came over after lunch, saw the emperor and empress sitting in the main hall, and after saluting each of them, he went in to visit Concubine Hua.

However, not long after he entered, he heard his very nervous voice: "Your Majesty, don't drink, let Weichen take a look!".


Xuanyuanze and Yunqing were startled when they heard the sound, and a disturbed intuition quickly made their faces freeze, and they saw that Xuanyuanze had got up quickly and strode towards the inner hall.

Yun Qing also got up, and raised his hand to let Ning'er enter the palace with him. He saw Liu Quan was holding the tonic soup that the palace maid planned to feed to Concubine Hua, and sniffed it lightly on his nose, his complexion seemed extremely heavy.


Then, seeing him take a sip, his solemn complexion darkened even more, he put the bowl on the table beside him, and asked the maid, "Who cooked this soup?".


Although the court lady didn't know what happened, but seeing the imperial doctor and the emperor staring at her in unison, she was so frightened that she knelt down in front of the emperor, and her articulate words became a little unclear: "My lord , This, this soup is served by servants from the dining room together with other meals. Today the dining room is on duty by Master Chef Chen Rui, and all the main meals are also made by Master Chen!".


"Liu Quan, what's wrong with this soup?" Xuanyuan Ze stared coldly at the bowl of black chicken and ginseng soup with a delicious aroma, his handsome eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his face was a little dark.

Hearing the sound, Liu Quan turned around to face Xuanyuanze and knelt down, and said with panic on his face, "I want to report to the emperor, I should be damned, I ask the emperor to upload it, and Chen Yuchu came to ask if all the soup and food went through his hands today." !”.


"Come on, pass on Chen Rui!" Xuanyuan Ze frowned and raised his voice, Chang Le immediately turned around and left the hall to let the father-in-law of Zhuhua Palace go to send the imperial cook Chen Rui to Nuanxiang Pavilion.

"I want to know, what's wrong with this soup you found!" When Chang Le came in again, Xuanyuan Ze asked again, but his voice was obviously sullen, maybe he was angry at Liu Quan for not expressing his doubts just now. , or angry that there is a problem with this soup.


Liu Quanquan trembled, and hurriedly responded in a trembling voice: "Going back to the emperor, the next official smelled the soup had an unusual smell as soon as he entered the palace. The soup was actually mixed with the pungent taste of safflower. Xiaguan was startled immediately, fearing that he might smell it by mistake, so he took a sip, and it turned out... ".


"What?" Xuanyuan Ze glared angrily, Liu Quan hurriedly kowtowed his head, and replied nervously: "The lower official actually tasted that there is indeed a safflower seasoning added to this soup! Although the dosage is not large, it can But the officials can be sure that in addition to the tonics of ginseng, peach kernel, jujube, and rehmannia root, the condiments added are also mixed with a little safflower.”.


"Safflower?" He Ruowan on the bed raised her voice, and her complexion changed drastically. She was about to get out of bed as soon as she lifted the quilt, and screamed, "Liu Quan, is what you said true? Is it really so harmful?" People's things mixed with Bengong's food? It's really the kind of thing that killed my unborn child, do you want to harm Bengong?"


"Your Majesty!" Ning'er saw her kneeling and falling off the bed due to the weakness of her legs and feet, she screamed in fright and wanted to run over, but found that there was a tall figure beside her who was one step ahead of her, and quickly came to He Ruowan's body Next to her, gently helped her up, and comforted her: "Wan'er, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter! Go back to bed and have a good rest, I'm here!".


"No, my majesty, I don't believe it! Who is so cruel that he wants to knock down our child? Oh, the child is innocent. No matter how many wrong things I have done, I already know how to repent. Retribution should also be retribution on Wan'er, why did you kill the child? Why? My child, oh, my poor child... ".


He Ruowan waved her hands restlessly, her heartbroken look couldn't be quiet at all, Xuanyuanze couldn't help but tightly grasped her hands, and her expression became more and more painful: "Don't worry, Wan'er, I'm here! I will definitely find out The person who prescribed the drug will seek justice for you and the child."


"Your majesty, the concubine made a mistake. It was the concubine who committed too many crimes and repaid the child... Oh, it's all the concubine's fault. The concubine deserves to die. Please let the concubine die to apologize. The concubine is gone." The child doesn't want to live in this world anymore, please let the emperor let the concubine die..." He Ruowan burst into tears, unable to calm down at all, instead her emotions became more and more intense, Yun Qing couldn't help being moved, and couldn't help turning her face away , can't bear to see this kind of regretful and painful war anymore.


"Wan'er! I won't allow you to mention death again, understand?" Xuanyuan Ze raised his voice, He Ruowan was taken aback by the seriousness on his face, and finally calmed down.It's just that she stared blankly at Xuanyuan Ze with a frosty face. After a while, she suddenly burst into earth-shattering cries, and threw herself heavily into Xuanyuan Ze's arms, saying in a miserable voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wan'er is good!" Sad, Wan'er is so sad... who is so cruel, even an unborn child... Woo, Wan'er's heart hurts, it hurts... ".


Xuanyuanze stretched out his arms to gently hug her, and listening to her grief-stricken crying, his voice softened again, and he said comfortingly: "Wan'er, it's not your fault, it's my fault! I'm the one who makes people fall in love The chief culprit of you and your child, it is my negligence that the emperor can’t keep his own child properly! Don’t worry, Wan’er, no matter who it is, as long as it is found out, I will never forgive you lightly!”.
