Foster son and husband

Chapter 283 Dark Punishment
Meimei comforted Lin Runan, lay down on the soft couch with her, whispered some women's whispers, and unknowingly fell asleep together. After a while, they both woke up at the same time. The team was still moving. Lin Runan approached Meimei. She whispered something that surprised her: Concubine Shu's sudden illness was not accidental, it was premeditated!The mastermind is the queen, and the perpetrator is Lin Runan!

Meimei stared at Lin Runan blankly: "You guys, you are so brave. Have you ever seen the emperor love Concubine Shu so much? Concubine Shu is surrounded by the emperor's personal guards. If someone finds out, report it to the emperor for investigation. The consequences will be serious." Very serious!"

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. My eyes are bright, and I can only let things happen right under my nose. The guards can't see clearly. After you left yesterday, there are only a few of us left. I just Accompanying them, we didn't talk too much, but Concubine Shu took the lead, guiding us to here and there. We walked around the forest by the lake. There is a kind of tree vine in the forest, which is full of golden yellow, For the flowers with delicate petals, I picked left and right in front of the flowers, and finally picked one off and put it on my nose to smell. Concubine Shu and Su De came over. The imperial concubine likes it, and the people in the palace know her habit, so she picked two flowers at the same time as soon as she came, and her delicate fingers were accidentally scratched by the flower thorns, and a little blood flowed, but fortunately, she was still strong, I put the flowers in my hair, and let the maid use a handkerchief to bandage the wounds on my hands. No one knows that I have tampered with those flowers. , on the vine leaves, waiting for her to touch it. Once the powder touches it, it will itch within an hour. As long as you scratch it, you will get caught and the attack will start slowly. But I didn't expect her to scratch the flesh, It will be even more serious if the medicine enters the bloodstream! Those quack doctors are right about encountering poisonous weeds, but they are talking nonsense when they come into contact with alcohol!"

"That cluster of flowers is all sprinkled with medicinal powder, what if other people touch it? What if Su De also picks the flowers?"

"It's not all sprinkled, just a few outstanding ones. With temperaments like Yisude and Concubine Shu, foreign wives dare not get too close to them, and they will not come to enjoy a bunch of flowers with the princess. It is always the three of us." People walked together, and I would leave them from time to time to enjoy the scenery and say a few words with the wives. Even if Sude picked the flowers, it didn’t matter. There was an antidote. She doesn't guard against me, I just wait for the opportunity to give her the antidote. After picking off the flower hairpin, Concubine Shu will go to another place, and when she meets another beautiful flower, she will dip the one with the powder on it. The yellow flowers are discarded and replaced with freshly picked flowers, which is exactly what I want!"

"Who gave you this dreadful powder?"

"Queen. Before leaving, I asked me to find an opportunity to punish Concubine Shu. The reason is that she has become more and more arrogant. There is more than one thing that offended the queen. The queen can't stand her anymore!"

Meimei sighed: "The palace wasn't so chaotic before. The emperor doted on Concubine Le and Concubine Rong, and relied on Concubine Li. These empresses could handle it and control it. But now that Concubine Shu has come, what is this woman like?" What's cute about it? The emperor actually forgot the affection he once had with the empress because of her."

Lin Runan snorted, and said after a long time: "What kind of affection does the emperor have? The empress is a famous smart woman. She spent a lot of time thinking about entering the palace and winning the emperor's love. She should be able to figure it out!"

Meimei looked at her: "Ru Nan, you are the Queen's... person, but you are Princess Qi. You have to think carefully about the thoughts of King Qi, and be careful."

Lin Runan smiled: "Of course I belong to the Queen, don't you?"

"I... it should be considered, the affairs in the palace are too messy and complicated, it's best not to let me know, I don't want to get involved!"

Lin Runan sighed: "I don't want to either, but the empress has been close to me since childhood, and she has kindness to me. I can't see her helpless. Fang Xuemei was introduced to the palace by Sude, and the emperor saw it when he went to see the empress dowager in the palace of compassion. She was favored that night. She was conferred the title of concubine on the second day, and within two or three months, she went straight to the position of concubine Shu. Her father was a third-rank official. Although her background was not as high as that of the queen, she was not low. You know that the queen mother doesn't like the queen. Now Supporting Concubine Shu wholeheartedly, and the Emperor favored him so much, the Yiyun Villa specially built for the Empress has become a special place for the Emperor and Concubine Shu to have fun because of the springs that are warm in winter and icy in summer. She is very good at playing in the water, and the emperor stays with her in the water, so she can not go ashore for a long time... A few days ago, the eldest prince caught a cold and had a fever in the middle of the night, and the empress sent someone to report to the emperor at Yuhua Palace. Go, Concubine Shu only said on the bed, "The concubine's stomach hurts!" The emperor turned around to accompany her, and ordered more imperial doctors to let the queen take care of the prince. What's more, the emperor actually listened to Concubine Shu's words, and discussed with the queen. The queen taught her to hand over the inner palace affairs to Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu on the grounds that it was inconvenient to be pregnant. Fortunately, the Empress was quick-witted and said that Concubine Xian was too young to make decisions on many things. Let them stay with the queen for a while, and wait for the queen to make the offer, and then hand them over to them! The emperor thinks so, but Concubine Shu is against the queen from here and there. Most of the people around Concubine Shu are gifted by the queen mother, and those people are too shrewd , the queen is pregnant with Liujia, while being tired of dealing with it, while enduring her for so long, until I have this opportunity, I personally come out to deal with her!"

"Will it be cured if I go back to Beijing? Imperial Physicians Su and Imperial Physicians Qiao are very skilled in medicine, will they recognize that kind of medicinal powder?"

"Probably not. The medicinal powder is as fine as flour, very light in color and tasteless. It spilled on Concubine Shu's hands and skin. She also likes picking flowers and brushing leaves. Except for a small amount that permeated into the skin, all the rest fell off. Back to After bathing and changing clothes under the tent, the medicine powder dissolves in water, and there is no trace."

"Will she die?"

"I can't die, but I guess the imperial doctors won't cure her, she will lose her appearance, and the emperor will lose her beauty!"

After a moment of silence, Meimei said: "It's not a good guy either, I hope the emperor won't be sad!"

Lin Runan sneered: "Maybe he will be sad for two days, no wonder he is sad! There are countless beauties in the palace, and many of them haven't seen their faces yet!"

"After Concubine Shu, I don't know who will jump out to do her best, could it be Concubine Le?"

Lin Runan glanced at her: "You still don't know? Concubine Le was young and vigorous, she was jealous with Concubine Shu, tore Concubine Shu's skirt, and was thrown into limbo by the emperor, but Concubine Shu didn't let her go, and someone secretly tortured her crazy Now, no one in the palace dares to provoke Concubine Shu. Concubine Jing pretends to be sick to show weakness to keep herself and the little prince safe. Concubine Li got the queen's order to tolerate it blindly and not to conflict with Concubine Shu. Concubine Zhen can't give birth. The child came, and because of what happened to A Yao, the emperor was disgusted and stopped going to her palace, as if he had forgotten about this person... If the emperor didn't notice these old people, the queen and other pregnant concubines And I can't wait for bedtime, it seems that I have to bother to look through the pictures of beauties and find another new one!"

The two laughed softly, and suddenly they heard someone knocking on the carriage, Lin Runan was startled, Meimei said:
"Don't panic, my car can only be surrounded by the guards of the waiting mansion, and Bai Zhan is watching, no one can get close to it except my own people!"

She raised her voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Zhan said: "Mrs. Hui: we've arrived at the post house!"

"Got it! Where's the marquis?"

"Master Hou is with the emperor, and specially ordered the little one and Baoju to accompany the palace guards to protect the princess and the young lady in the car!"

"Okay, get ready and wait for the princess to get off the car!"

Lin Runan said: "Where's your water? Let me drink a couple of sips. I've been afraid to drink water for fear of going to the toilet. Since I'm going to the post house, I'll drink it."

Meimei smiled and took out the water bag and gave it to her: "Me too, it's fun to go out, but it's the most annoying to be with men, it's inconvenient to do anything!"

The team took a rest at the posthouse, then continued to march, and returned to the capital at dusk. The head of Qi Wangfu had already brought the princess's chariot to guard at the gate of the city, and picked her up. The emperor also hurried back to the palace to treat Shu. Concubine, Xu Junying went back to Meimei's carriage, abandoned the horse and sat with Meimei in her arms. Meimei said, "What are you talking about with the emperor? You don't even look at me!"

Xu Junying said: "The emperor is not in a good mood, so he wants to gossip with you. Didn't I come back to accompany you?"

"Because Concubine Shu has a sudden illness, the emperor is very sad, right? What did he say?"

"The emperor said—it's a disappointment! If I had known that I would not bring women with me, I would be too delicate to even touch flowers and plants."

"How can we generalize? It's just that his concubine is not good, but we are very strong! He's a disappointment, and I think it's a disappointment! I thought I would go up the mountain again today, catch a beautiful pheasant and bring it back to Heng'er!"

Xu Junying smiled: "I don't feel disappointed, whether it's in the wild or at home, I'm happy to have you by my side!"

Meimei leaned in his arms, hugged his waist and sighed: "I'm happy to be with you too...I regret it now!"

Xu Junying was stunned, not understanding what she meant, and raised her chin with one hand: "Meimei, what are you talking about?"

Meimei frowned slightly: "I regret that I handed over that lovely pheasant to them yesterday. I must have slaughtered it. If I want to keep it today, I can give it to Heng'er as a gift. When I come back from the mountain, there is no fun for him. Will you be disappointed with us?"

Xu Junying breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death! You have to say it sentence by sentence, and you can't talk nonsense together, you know?"

He lifted the curtain of the car and said to Baoju outside: "Go and ask Chang Lehou, what kind of live prey does he have, leave one for me!"

Bai Zhan replied next to Bao Ju: "Master Hui: just now Madam Hou of Changle brought a little chicken, she said that Madam Young caught it yesterday, let him bring it back to Brother Heng to play with!"

"real……"

Meimei leaned over happily, but Xu Junying put down the curtain, hugged her and said, "You little fool, I handed over what I finally caught. Fortunately, Mrs. Changle Hou wanted to stay for you."

"Didn't I think that one day I could go up the mountain to catch it? Who would have come back in a hurry..."

　Dear friends, please forget what someone said yesterday. People are not as good as God. I have been running outside all day today and I have no time to type. . .Watch the smoke drift by. . .
