Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 946
After a while, the queen mother said casually: "Mingyue has been married to Li'er for almost a year, right?"

As soon as Qiu Mingyue heard this, she knew what the Queen Mother was up to, didn't she just say that she hadn't been pregnant?
She lowered her eyes and raised her eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

When she lowered her head, the golden plum blossom hairpin on her head fell down, and the sound of pearls and jade colliding was clear and sweet, resounding through the hall, extremely clear.

The queen suddenly narrowed her eyes, "This golden hairpin..."

Qiu Mingyue reached out and pulled out the hairpin, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Is this what you mean? This is the second day of the wedding. It was given by Jin's mother-in-law. It is said that it was made by Jingyuexuan. It also has the logo of Jingyuexuan on it." She turned the golden hairpin over, and the tail was clearly visible. The word "Month" came into my eyes impressively.

The empress dowager could not see clearly from the distance between them, but the dowager sitting next to her could see clearly, and her face immediately changed.

"Is this given to you by Concubine Jin?"

"Yes." Qiu Mingyue blinked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Although the Empress Dowager and the Empress did not see the logo on the hairpin, they immediately changed their expressions when they heard that it was a gift on the second day of their wedding, and that it was a plum blossom hairpin.Women's views have always been superstitious, not to mention when it comes to the succession of children, they naturally attach great importance to it.

The concubine was just about to take the hairpin to take a closer look, but the queen smiled and walked down the jade steps slowly.

"Show me."

Concubine Toffee paused for a while, then took it back as if nothing had happened.Qiu Mingyue rolled her eyes and handed the hairpin to the queen.

The queen took it over and looked at it for a while, with a smile on her lips.

"It's really exquisite. I like it very much when I see it."

Just as Qiu Mingyue was about to say something, the queen let out a yell, which resounded through the hall with a slight crisp sound.

"what happened?"

The queen mother frowned, but the queen looked at her hand, the plum blossom hairpin was no longer a intact hairpin, the body of the hairpin was still in good condition, still bright and clean, but the plum blossom on the head had cracked a gap, spoils the overall aesthetic.

Qiu Mingyue let out a short ah, then closed her mouth, but there was regret in her eyes.

The concubine said, "Jingyuexuan's stuff is nothing more than that, it breaks so easily, this hairpin is unlucky to wear, so throw it away."

Qiu Mingyue was about to nod her head in agreement, but the queen frowned.

"There is something wrong with this hairpin."

"what?"

Qiu Mingyue's eyes widened, "Is there a problem?"

But the queen was already walking towards the queen mother with the hairpin, "Queen mother, you can ask, this concubine thinks it smells different."

The queen mother raised her eyebrows, she could already smell a faint fragrance spreading from the fracture, that smell...

Her expression changed immediately, the queen had already cut off the red golden plum blossom, but found that the hairpin was actually hollow.The Empress Dowager's face became even more serious, she took the hairpin, tilted the opening to the palm of her hand, and immediately poured out some powdery gravel.That fragrance just now came from this.The Empress Dowager already knew what the scent was, so she looked up at Qiu Mingyue, her face turned white and her eyes widened, obviously she had already smelled the scent and guessed what it was.

Thinking about it, she was a healer herself, and the smell was so strong, if she couldn't smell it, it would be too contrived.

Qiu Mingyue is proficient in pharmacology, but how did she guess that a small golden hairpin actually contained heaven and earth?

The queen mother sighed, no wonder she has not been pregnant for so long.

"Do you wear this hairpin every day?"

Qiu Mingyue seemed to have been frightened, but she just came back to her senses at this moment, but her voice was still trembling.

"No. I don't like these gold and silver ornaments very much, and I rarely wear them at ordinary times. It's just that this hairpin was given by Concubine Jin, and I usually wear it when I go out. I usually put it in the dressing box and lock it up when I'm in the mansion. Yes." There was a layer of white mist in her eyes, her eyelashes were trembling, her lips were pale, and her voice was weak and pitiful.

"Grandmother, that spice...but...is it musk?"

After uttering the last two words, she seemed to have lost all her strength, and she slumped on the chair, her complexion turned pale, but her eyes still had a hint of bewilderment and hope.

Seeing her like this, it is ignorant.

The Empress Dowager originally suspected that she did it on purpose this time, in order to shirk the matter of delayed infertility to others and delay her own arrangement for Feng Qingli to accept the side concubine.However, looking at her like this, it really didn't look like she was acting.Besides, as a doctor herself, she knows how much musk can harm a woman's body.As a woman, who would be so cruel to risk the possibility of not being able to conceive a child in order to frame others?
What's more, she was only a side concubine, not her husband's side concubine.One, just a side concubine who didn't threaten her at all.

Concubine Rong's face was a little gloomy, she looked at Qiu Mingyue beside her, her eyes flashed coldly, but she was also a little puzzled.She naturally knew that Qiu Mingyue would not make fun of her body, but she absolutely did not believe that Concubine Jin had such deep scheming.Although Qiu Mingyue looked docile and harmless, with her many years of experience, she could naturally tell that this little girl was not simple.Thoughtful and extremely intelligent, he dares to do things that others in the world dare not do, and he hates evil like an enemy.If the goal is not achieved, almost any means can be used.

But if she put musk on herself, she believed that Qiu Mingyue would not do such a thing.Moreover, there is too much musk in the hairpin. If someone who is pregnant wears it, she can guarantee that she will have a miscarriage within a month.Even if a normal person wears it for a few months, they will probably be sterilized.Qiu Mingyue would not be so stupid.

So what's the matter with this plum blossom hairpin?

The queen mother did not speak, but the queen had already sat down with a dignified expression.

"Mingyue, has anyone else touched this hairpin?"

Qiu Mingyue shook her head blankly, "It was given to me by Concubine Jin, and I have always kept it carefully. No one can open that dressing box except myself." When she said this, her body trembled even more. The mist in his eyes was about to condense into tears and fall down his face, making him look even more pitiful.

"It's Musk, isn't it?"

The queen lowered her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to tell her.

The atmosphere in the hall was silent, and the maids stood on both sides with their heads lowered, silent.As for Qiu Mingyue and the concubine's maid, they were already waiting outside the door when they entered Jinfeng Palace, and they were not allowed to enter without being summoned.

"Come here, Imperial Physician Xuan."

In silence, the queen mother began to give orders.

Concubine Rong suddenly raised her head, her eyes were sharp.

"The Empress Dowager suffered a chronic illness that day, and the doctors in the Imperial Hospital were at a loss what to do. Later, it was Mingyue who saved her with a prescription. The Empress Dowager thought that those mediocre imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital could compare with Mingyue's medical skills?"
