The maid is the queen

Chapter 181 The Poison of Oleander

"Well, it's okay, it's fresher this way." I went out and left it to her.

Concubine Yang smiled at me when I went out to sit, and said softly, "Concubine Yun Gui, I really congratulate you, I heard that the emperor will make Lixu the crown prince." "Thank you, the emperor didn't tell me."

I don't know what it was that was discussed, but the reason was that a pastry was brought up, with some white petals on top, and she asked the ladies-in-waiting to divide it all up on little plates, and then she brought me one from the pile of plates.

A few petals of safflower are on the milky white pastry, and some light red liquid has melted into it. If you don't look closely, you can't tell the difference.I still remember that the viburnum was snow-white, and the flowers there were all white with a patch of red.

Concubine Yang is next to her, facing me, and I see that there is nothing unusual about the pastries, and everyone's expression is so relaxed.

I smiled and said softly: "The reason, the water is a little cold, pour me some warm water."

Yuan responded and took the cup down, I picked up the pastry, but gently changed the piece in my hand, nibbled on the half-eaten pastry, and when Yuan came back, there was only the pastry left on my plate. It was half a dollar, and I noticed that she glanced at it quietly and retreated.
After a while, I said, "Queen, I'm so sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable now, and I want to go back first." I also smiled with some difficulty.

Lu Yao frowned: "Zhiqiu, it doesn't matter if you want to, or send the imperial doctor over now."

"It's okay, maybe it's tiring to take care of three children during this time, and I haven't had a good rest."

Lu Yao said lightly: "That's true. I am not as good as you as a queen. You have three children, but Ben Gong is still alone. My sister is the most important thing in the emperor's heart, so please don't be afraid of it." I am exhausted, and I am extremely bored in Chaofeng Palace alone, Zhiqiu just take care of the young little prince, and I will send the eldest prince and little princess to take care of in Chaofeng Palace." I smiled slightly: "I'm fine, I'll go back and rest for a while."

I don't want to send the children out at all. I promised their mothers to take good care of them and keep them with me, so naturally I have the responsibility to protect them.

Ask the maid to help me go back. When I arrive at the Nuanxin Palace, I will first see Xu and Baobao. Both of them are learning to write with a pen. If there is nothing wrong, I ask the maid to pass Lin Luoshui over.

As soon as he entered the palace, he said nervously, "Is there something wrong?" No, all the snow-white flowers floating in the Qionghua Pavilion, there are a few scattered red flowers on it, and I know that what Qiao Feng made this time is horseshoe cake. And I deliberately gave her a chance to test Take a moment." I feel like I'm really in danger.

But he said appreciatively: "That's right, that's what I want. I have to test it out. It's a god or a ghost, as long as you have the heart, you can catch it." After experimenting for a while, he said, "Sure enough, I caught it, it's poisonous."

I was chilled, it really was her, and she sat down on the chair: "What poison?"

"Smell it, look at it." He even took a bite, which made me nervously shout: "Didn't you say it's poisonous? Why do you still dare to eat it?" He smiled triumphantly at me: "Don't worry, I already know this. What is the poison, oleander poison, the symptoms of poisoning are headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or irritability, irregular heartbeat, convulsions, and even death in large doses.”

I felt my hands and feet were cold when I heard it, so I hurried to call Xu and Baobao to let him have a test. He took a look and said, "They are fine, so you don't have to doubt Qiao Feng's place. I just want to make you uncomfortable, upset and angry, my intention is not to kill you, but what is it?"

"Now I don't know what I want to do. Now there are rumors in the palace that the emperor wants to make Xu the crown prince."

"That's it. Now that the eldest prince is being raised by you, think about who will benefit the most when Xu grows up?" "Is that because someone wants to snatch Xu from me? The queen said today I sent Xu and the baby there, but Lu Yao is my older sister, and she doesn't care about her status in the harem at all."

He sighed a little, pointed at me and said, "You really don't understand what a noble lady is. You can believe what other people say. If she is really the kind of person who can afford it and let it go, she won't Killing the couple and the child, you must not deal with this matter privately, you must let people know that you are in the harem and those people know that you are not to be bullied."

I nodded, and then asked someone to call in the reason.

I saw a lot of sadness in her heart, and I still asked calmly: "Why, how long have you been with me, how do I treat you?"

She smiled slightly and said respectfully: "Yuan has been with the empress for several years, and the empress loves you like a sister, and it is the luck of Yuan." Well-educated." "Your Majesty, the reason is that you can only know a few words." "Oh, why, I treat you with all my heart, but you never tell me the truth, tell me the truth."

There was a look of panic in Yuanyuan's eyes, and he said hastily: "Your Majesty, there is really nothing you dare to hide from Your Majesty about the reason. The reason is the palace maid, how could the palace maid have any good education."

"Why, what chance is the Yang family with you?" Forget it, I gave her the chance, but she didn't cherish it at all. When she heard my question, her face turned pale: "The reason has nothing to do with the Yang family."

"Why are you still lying to me? How long do you want to lie to me? You hurt me again and again. Before that, I could give you a reason. Your son was involved in the Yang family, but I called you by mistake. I took him out, and now I really can't find any reason. The reason is that I don't want to hate you. You can not say anything, but by the time you do, it will be too late, and the people in the Criminal Department will not let your son go." Everything I said is the truth, the Criminal Department Some people will check everything about her ancestors.

When Yuan heard this, he knelt down: "Niang Niang, I didn't do it, no."

Lin Luoshui came over with a pastry and said with a sigh: "Don't you know that Zhiqiu has suspected you for a long time? The reason, what you did is really embarrassing. You want to make the other side not mind you, but also let the people here not I doubt you, but there is still a little bit of kindness, otherwise Yun Zhiqiu would have ruined you long ago. But this time you are wrong, you are all wrong, the establishment of the crown prince was only deliberately drawn out by the emperor, your mistake is that you should not hurt Zhiqiu children."

He threw the pastry on the ground to see the reason clearly. The soft pastry fell to the ground, accompanied by a few snow-white viburnum splashes on the ground.

"Come here, inform the Ministry of Criminal Justice." My voice was a little weak: "Yu, thank you for taking care of me for so many years, but I'm sorry, I can't let you stay by my side anymore, you are a mother, you want to protect yours Children, I also want to protect my children, and I have to bear what I do."

After listening to my words, she burst into tears, closed her eyes and bit her lip.

Before waiting for the people from the Ministry of Punishment to come, Yuanyuan respectfully kowtowed to me a few times: "Your Majesty."

"Don't make excuses. There are many things I don't want to think about too much. The shoes you made for that child are quite exquisite. You know that I have seen the shoes you made."

"Your Majesty, this servant made a mistake, but I dare not beg for mercy. This servant deserves more than death, but I beg you to be kind enough to let my child go." She looked up at me: "Mother, this servant has always been sorry for you."

Tears flowed down: "Your Majesty has always believed in my servant, but my servant is hurting my mother, it is all my fault, my servant deserves to die."

"Why, I don't want to hear you say this, tell me, who asked you to do this?" What I want to know is the person behind her.

Yuan Yuan shook his head, tears streaming down like rain: "Your Majesty, don't ask your servants, it's all the servants' fault."

"Are you admitting your mistake like this? The reason." I really wanted to slap her: "If I want you to die, it's just a sentence. You are also a mother, and so am I. You don't want your child to be hurt. Do you think I just want to? The reason, I don’t want to say anything, and you don’t want to say that I have a good heart, anyway, if the emperor investigates, I’m afraid that you mother and son will only meet in the underworld.”

I will definitely not be intimidating, the emperor will definitely investigate these matters thoroughly.

She was surprised: "Ma'am."

"What shame do you have to call her a lady? It's fine if you die alone. You might as well tell whoever you protect, or you can save your life." Lin Luoshui also said angrily.

But she still said nothing, nothing at all.

The last thing I want is to threaten someone with a child. It is the heart and soul of a mother. At that time, Yuanyuan would hold the child and cry silently. At that time, the child was injured and looked at her and said that she wanted to go home.

Thinking about the child saying he wants to go home and want a mother, I feel sore, why, what can I do to save you, help you, why you refuse to say anything, what can you do to make your child, you are the most important thing Who survived?

She refused to say anything, no matter how clear Lin Luoshui and I were about the consequences, I knew she knew it too, but no matter how much I asked her, she would not speak, and it was her own fault.

The reason is that she didn't want to kill me. The poison in the ointment was discovered at a very short time. She was the one who deliberately beat the ointment to let the cat catch it. Reminder, she also said that the empress is not in a good mood to take care of the sick eldest prince, so don't worry about me.

In the Yang family, she inexplicably let people from the Yang family beat her, and that strange man could find my room so casually, and still come in. Are all the maids dead?The reason, the reason, she was the one who accompanied me when I was the loneliest, but she was also the one who hurt me.

I thought, no matter how much I have feelings in it, I can't protect her anymore, the emperor has already brought people from the Ministry of Punishment here.
