Raiders of Hades

Chapter 158 Dilemma
Bai Qiluo had expected this a long time ago, at this moment she lightly smiled and said: "Since it's so disturbing, but since I'm here, I can't see the king, can I invite Director Su?"

After all, she was the king's favorite concubine, and the soldiers didn't dare to offend too much. One of them nodded and said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment, the slave will go and spread the word."

Bai Qiluo smiled, and soon Su Shun trotted over and saluted Bai Qiluo: "Why is Concubine Qi coming here? Your Majesty is busy with official business, so I'm afraid I don't have time to see you."

"I know that the king is busy with affairs. This is the glutinous rice and lotus seed porridge that the king likes to eat. I would like to thank you for asking the father-in-law to bring it to the king. Although he is busy with official duties, the king's health is the most important thing." Bai Qiluo will The food box was handed to Su Shun, and then said with a smile: "I am waiting here, and I will ask my father-in-law to take out the food box when the king runs out."

Su Shun didn't dare to say no, just sighed, stretched out his hand to take the food box, and said: "Major, wait a moment, the servant will go in and ask, maybe the king is really hungry."

Bai Qiluo nodded, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she did not ignore Su Shun's shock when she saw her clothes!
The Qingying Hall was brightly lit, Jin Yao was reviewing papers, because he promised Fei Li to go to Longyuan, so these few days were extraordinarily busy.Feng Qingchen beside Jin Yao was also busy without touching the ground, sorting all the memorials in his hand, prioritizing them and putting them away, just waiting for Jin Yao to check.

When Su Shun walked in, he saw the two busy figures, and felt more and more that the food box in his hand weighed a thousand catties.

Moving gently to Jin Yao's side, Su Shun lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi has brought you glutinous rice and lotus seed porridge, do you see?" He lifted up the food box as he spoke.

Golden Harrier frowned slightly, glutinous rice and lotus seed porridge?In the past, he liked drinking very much, but now he doesn't like it any more, so he said casually: "The lonely king is not hungry, I will give it to Feng Aiqing."

Feng Qingchen raised her head when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty, I'm really hungry, but I'm being disrespectful."

Hearing this, Su Shun lifted the food box over, reached out to open the lid, brought out the porridge, and placed it in front of Feng Qingchen.But he secretly sighed in his heart, all the painstaking efforts of Concubine Qi might be in vain, thinking of the clothes that Concubine Qi was wearing, Su Shun knew that he should not talk too much, but he still said: "Your Majesty, this servant just looked at Concubine Qi's face. The clothes looked very familiar, and I just remembered that they were worn by the Queen when the King and Concubine Qi met for the first time. Unexpectedly, after so many years, the clothes are still as new."

Jin Yao paused the pen in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Su Shun, and thought of that pink dress in his mind, the corners of his mouth curled up, and said: "When I saw Qi Luo for the first time, I was really shocked. , I never thought there would be such a person by my mother's side."

Su Shun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Jin Yao was willing to talk to her. There was actually no friendship between him and Concubine Qi, but Concubine Qi had always been very courteous to him when she was a favor, and today it was a reciprocation.

Feng Qingchen was putting a mouthful of porridge into his mouth, his expression changed slightly, he spit it out all of a sudden, and hurriedly rinsed his mouth with water.

Jin Yao turned her head when she heard the sound, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Qingchen's face was slightly green, and it took a long time before he said: "There is something in this porridge, Mrs. Wang Shangqing, please come and have a look."

As soon as the words fell, Su Shun's face changed suddenly, and Jin Yao was also taken aback, but he still said to Su Shun: "Tell the imperial physician!"

Feng Qingchen said suddenly: "Wait!"

Su Shun paused and turned to look at Feng Qingchen. His little heart was so frightened by his cry that he hurriedly wiped off his sweat, and said, "Master Feng, what else do you want?"

Feng Qingchen turned to look at Jin Yao, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this matter is probably not that simple."

Jin Yao looked at Feng Qingchen, and asked in a deep voice: "What's Ai Qing's opinion?"

Feng Qingchen hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi has been keeping herself safe for a while, why did she suddenly send porridge with something added? What is it? I don't know what is in it." I know, why don't you ask Eunuch Su to quietly invite the imperial physician to have a look, and don't startle the snake."

Jin Yao frowned, looked at Su Shun thoughtfully and said, "Go, quietly, don't disturb others."

Su Shun hurriedly responded, and walked through the door from the back hall.

Jin Yao looked at the bowl of porridge, then looked at Feng Qingchen, and asked: "Why does Aiqing have a good opinion, why don't you just say it?"

Feng Qingchen walked up and down twice, and then said: "I have the guts to guess, the concubine Qi suddenly took the initiative to attack, I'm afraid she was instigated by someone, but I can't guess who this person is for a while. Come out. However, there are only a few reasons why I want to impress Concubine Qi, either to get rid of the queen, or to win back the king's heart, other than that, I am afraid that there is nothing else that can impress Concubine Qi's heart .”

Jin Yao found it interesting, looked at Feng Qingchen and asked, "Are you so sure that Concubine Qi has no other intentions?"

Feng Qingchen said: "I'm not very sure, but Concubine Qi was able to escape from the Queen Mother's control, so the Queen Mother had no choice but to choose Yue Yunting to enter the palace, and finally Yue Yunting was buried in the palace. Second, she can also gain freedom herself, so the Queen Mother has to give up on her. Although Concubine Qi seems to have lost power, in fact, she has won if she can get rid of the Queen Mother's control. Concubine Qi will definitely not give up on the king just like that. But without complete assurance, she will not act lightly. Tonight, concubine Qi deliberately wore the clothes she wore when she met the king for the first time, just to seduce the king. Nostalgia for the past, and then feel guilty towards Concubine Qi, and if the humble minister is not here, the king may very likely summon Concubine Qi, and then drink porridge with added ingredients under the concubine's persuasion. "Speaking of this, Feng Qingchen smiled lightly, and said again: "It's just that the concubine Qi never thought that I would be here, let alone that the king would give porridge to me, and she couldn't have imagined that since I was a child Researching medicinal materials, there are things added to this porridge that ordinary people can't drink, but this humble minister can drink it."

Jin Yao was shocked when she heard the words, and asked: "I didn't expect Feng Aiqing to know medicinal herbs. Now that I know, do you know what is added here?"

Feng Qingchen shook his head, and said: "I dare not speak nonsense, it is safer to ask the king and other imperial physicians to examine it." Feng Qingchen didn't want to say it because he knew the way to be a minister, because sometimes he was a minister. The words spoken are far less shocking than those spoken by professionals.

Jin Yao didn't force it, just looked at the bowl of porridge with a frown, and soon Su Shun brought the imperial doctor into the door from the back hall, the two saluted, Jin Yao said: "Look at what was added to that bowl of porridge?"

The imperial physician hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes."

Picking up the bowl of porridge from Feng Qingchen's face, the imperial physician first sniffed it carefully, with a hint of surprise on his brows, as if he was not sure, then looked carefully under the lamp, and stirred it with a spoon. Stir, and finally use a spoon to bring a little to his mouth to taste, then put down the bowl, and said with a dignified look: "If you go back to the king, this porridge has added purple spirit grass."
