Empress Fenghua

Chapter 227
The next day, when Hua Zhong got up, he heard Xiwen say that Wanrong Chenghui was asking to see him. Hua Chong didn't want to pay attention to it, but he went because of the incident yesterday. If he didn't see her today, he would be too petty.But even though Wanrong Chenghui didn't send anything on the surface, she didn't mean to harm herself, but she knew clearly in her heart that Empress Zhuo sent Imperial Physician Wen, Wanrong Chenghui would know about it!
Although Hua Zhong had just got up, it was already past noon.Wanrong's punishment kneeling was over, her red face was a little fragile, but she still gave a big gift!
"Get up! Wanrong Chenghui knelt and knelt just now, she must be feeling uncomfortable too. I won't make things difficult for Chenghui!" Hua Zhong's last sentence naturally meant something!
Wanrong frowned, "The concubine came to report this matter, Xia Fengyi came to report this morning, saying she was ill!"

"Ill?" Hua Zhong raised his eyebrows, "If you're sick, go to the imperial physician, why bother to tell me. I promise that she doesn't need to greet her!"

Wan Rong gently shook her head, "Princess Concubine, although the concubine and the Crown Princess are opposite to the Crown Prince, they have the same view on the future of the Crown Prince. If the position of the Crown Princess is to be secure, the first thing to do is to ensure that the husband is Prince, isn't it?"

Hua Zhong paused while drinking tea, raised his eyes to look at Wanrong, "What is the meaning of Wanrong accepting the emblem? Is Xiaji's illness related to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Wanrong waved her wide sleeves and folded them on her forehead, "Please don't forget the past, and fight side by side with Wanrong!"

Hua Zhong was supported by Xiwen and walked to Wanrong, looking down at Wanrong, it was hard for her to think about His Royal Highness so far!
Hua Zhong sighed, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Crown Princess!" Wanrong bowed sincerely.Hua Zhong knew that Wanrong was really convinced this time, because she knew that only she could consolidate the position of the prince and be invincible!But she is really the prince, so she can tolerate everything about herself!
Wanrong stood aside, "Xia Ji was given to His Highness the Crown Prince by the mother of Heng Wang and her son. Although Xia Ji has lived in reclusive life these years and appears to be honest and honest, the concubine feels that everything is not that simple! According to the instructions of King Heng and Madam Si, As a human being, it is impossible to waste a pawn, and I have observed Xia Ji for so many years but have not found anything suspicious, this is what I am most distressed about!"

Hua Zhong frowned, "Xia Ji has always been silent, and she really doesn't look like a simple-minded person. But if she is the secret agent of King Heng and Mrs. Si's placement in the Prince's Mansion, then she should always report the news of the Prince's Mansion." Spread the word? Why have you never seen her involved with the outside of the house?"

When Hua Zhong said this, he felt a little puzzled, yes, the involvement outside the house!
"Is there any place she often goes to?" Hua Zhong asked with a frown.

Wan Rong nodded, "This is what I was talking about. Just after these things happened in the Prince's Mansion, Xia Ji claimed to be sick. But she refused to let Doctor Wen or Shui Langzhong treat her, saying that she knew a little bit about medicine and wanted to get rid of it." I don’t want to bother you anymore!” Wanrong said with deep meaning, “I suddenly remembered that whenever there was something going on in the house, this Xia Ji always seemed to be ill! The concubine thinks that she is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but it doesn't look like it now!"

Hua Zhong took a sip of her tea, "Go and promise her, I want to see what she can do!"

Hua Zhong stared for a long while, and towards the afternoon, Wanrong came back with a few prescriptions, with a dejected look on her face.Hua Zhong couldn't help smiling slightly, "How?"

"The concubine is stupid, and I didn't find anything. I looked at these pictures of Fangzi and I found that they are all ordinary." Wanrong sighed, "I have already searched that girl, and there is nothing. It's the Sun Family Pharmacy in the west of the city, and they just returned after grabbing the medicine!"

Hua Zhong took the prescription and checked it, but found nothing suspicious.But she frowned impatiently, "This Xia Ji is beautiful, but this word is very troublesome!"

The writing on this prescription is really messy, there are many typos, some are directly melted, and some are directly erased with ink blobs.The footer also has a couple of obvious blotches of ink...

"Xia Ji was born as a dancer, so Zi Zi must have never practiced calligraphy well!" Wanrong lowered her eyes, a little disappointed.

"wrong!"

Wanrong heard Hua Zhong's words, she quickly stood up and moved to Hua Zhong's side, "What did the princess find?"

Hua Zhong thought about it and always felt that there was something strange, "Look at these ink dots, could it be that Xia Ji did it by accident? Some people are used to dots on the end of shoes, but Xia Ji did it three times. This ink dot seems a little unreasonable! This prescription is so messy, Xia Ji can ask someone to copy it, I think there must be a reason!"

Wanrong nodded, "Then do these three dots convey any message?"

Hua Zhong brushed the entire prescription from top to bottom, and smiled knowingly, "It seems that Xia Ji is not a simple person!"

"The Crown Princess sees the key point?" Wanrong asked with raised eyebrows.

Hua nodded emphatically, "Just now I tried to read every three characters together. You can see that there are ink blobs and melted characters in it. In fact, they can be read together into one sentence: The matter is settled, the government Outer circle!"

"The matter is settled, and we have to deal with it outside the palace?" Wanrong thought for a moment, "It seems that Xia Ji is really sending news to His Royal Highness Prince Heng!"

So what exactly should Xia Ji pass on?Yesterday's matter at the Prince's Mansion was clearly unsuccessful, why did Xia Ji spread the news that it had been successful?What exactly does Xia Ji mean?
"The Crown Princess can't guess what Xia Ji is referring to, right?"

Hua nodded emphatically, "It seems that it's time to use Mrs. Yu! You should know what to do about this matter, right?"

Wan Rong stood up, with a look of indifference and displeasure, "Princess Concubine, it was your idea that Mrs. Yu pointed at my concubine, right?"

"That's right!" Hua Chong smiled brilliantly, "She and you are old rivals!"

Wan Rong bowed her body and walked out of the Wuming Garden.

The Yu family is the daughter of the queen's retainers, and Wanrong is just a maidservant. Letting Wanrong be above her is probably just a despicable trick of Empress Zhuo.Contain each other and make use of each other, so as to prevent Wan Rong and the Yu family from betraying each other!

Yu-shi sighed, and walked into Xia Ji's room, "Xia Fengyi, how is your illness? I came here to see you!"

Xia Ji quickly got up from the bed, her face was indeed pale!Mrs. Yu hurried to the side of the bed, helped Mrs. Xia up and leaned against the side of the bed, "Sister, there is no need to be polite, she is still sick now, isn't she!"

Xia Ji forced a smile, "I've always been timid. Seeing yesterday's battle, I didn't sleep well all night. When I woke up in the morning, I found that I was not in good health! It made Yu Fengyi worry!"

"Where are you talking? Hey! Who would have thought that such a thing would happen." Yu Shi sighed, "It's also my fault for being simple-minded and easily believing Wanrong Chenghui's words, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up in such a mess! Wanrong Cheng Hui has always disliked me, just because I am the daughter of the Queen's retainers, and she is just a maid of Yining Palace. Now she is above me, I didn't say anything, but she came to make things difficult for me again and again !"

"What did Yu Fengyi say? In fact, Wanrong Chenghui has treated us kindly for so many years! Xia Ji was born as a dancer, and she is content with being able to settle down in the prince's mansion!" Xia Ji's words were very euphemistic.

After hearing Xia Ji's words, Mrs. Yu quickly felt aggrieved, "Sister, you don't know that Wanrong Chenghui helped me buy that plant of snow ginseng from outside the mansion, and you don't even think about how she can get it from outside the mansion. What was brought in after interrogation? Now that I think about it, she said that she reconciled with me and dealt with the princess together, she was lying! She was pushing myself into the fire pit!"

Xia Ji sighed, with a troubled expression on her face, "Yu Fengyi, what's the use of talking to me about this? I'm just a little Fengyi, just like you, with no name or identity, and I don't have the power behind you. After all, I am a dancer, but you are the daughter of an official! Anyway, you are more noble than me!"

"Sister, why should you belittle yourself? Self-respect is the most important thing!" Mrs. Yu snorted coldly, "What kind of foundation? What kind of official daughter? How can it compare to being favored by Empress Zhuo? In terms of appearance and family background, I What is worse than Wanrong Chenghui? Why is she Chenghui, but I am just an anonymous Fengyi? Sister, how can I be reconciled? It's all Empress Zhuo's preference!"

Yu Shi looked at Xia Ji with a look of resentment on her face, "Sister, sister knows that you have been able to live safely in the Prince's Mansion for so many years, so you naturally have your own morals and deeds. My sister doesn't ask for anything else, she just wants to fight with that Wanrong Chenghui It’s not in vain that I have been with the crown prince for so many years, but I have no name and no role!” After saying that, Mrs. Yu burst into tears.

The next glance shifted, and the lower eyelids came out to think for a moment, "Sister, do you really not want to rely on Empress Zhuo?"

"Where is she willing to let me rely on her?" Yu Shi rolled her eyes sadly.

Xia Ji raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Sister, what you said is also..."
