Houfu poisonous girl can't be bullied

Chapter 268 What a Big Bag of Qixia Pill
Chu Lingyao was surprised: "Empress Dowager, you...see it?"

Concubine Li Zhixi was there just now, so their expressions are so obvious, isn't it already alarming the snake?
"The Ai family has lived most of their lives. Children like you are just like Concubine Meng Meng Li. Can you still hide it from me?"

Hearing people say this, Chu Lingyao was relieved, and the queen mother wondered: "Ling Yue can't hide things on his face, it's understandable, but it's rare for the Ai family to see Xiao Jingchenghou's face so ugly, but what's the matter?" ?”

After being asked, the two of them had nothing to hide. Chu Lingyao took out the bag he had seen before and handed it over: "Does the Empress Dowager know what this is?"

The red pill was too eye-catching, coupled with Chu Lingyao's serious expression after he left and returned, the Queen Mother quickly guessed: "Could it be that Qixia Dan?"

"Exactly."

Chu Lingyao said: "I just went out and bumped into Concubine Li, it seems to have fallen from her body, the queen mother thinks..."

"Concubine Li?"

The Empress Dowager frowned fiercely, and Murong Jing couldn't help froze for a moment due to the sudden coldness, and looked at the old lady Shangshou with a more respectful expression in an instant.

Perhaps it was because of Chu Lingyao that the Queen Mother had always been easy-going and kind in front of them. They had to forget that the old man who sat on the head and face was also a strange person who helped the emperor to pacify the world when he was young.

Compared to Murong Jing, Chu Lingyao's reaction was much smaller, the strange color on his face flashed in an instant, and he turned his attention back to Qixia Pill: "Yes, but there is only this pill, if Concubine Li doesn't admit it, it will be fine." There is no way to prove that she was involved in this matter."

"Hmph! Isn't it easy for her to admit it?"

The queen mother snorted coldly, and wanted Concubine Xuan Li to testify, but was stopped by Chu Lingyao: "Wait a minute, even if the queen mother doesn't care about the Song family behind Concubine Li, she still wants to save some face for the emperor. It's better for Ling Yao to go first." Let's try it out, if it is confirmed that Concubine Li is really involved in this matter, it won't be too late for another trial."

"No."

The Queen Mother frowned: "Who knows what dirty thoughts that Concubine Li has, you are pregnant now, it's better to stay away from such people."

Although she knew that the queen mother was doing it for her own good, but if the matter was not resolved, Chu Lingyao would not be at ease, but this time before she could come up with some way to persuade the queen mother, Murong Jing spoke first: "The queen mother, don't worry, I I will send someone to protect me."

"Oh?"

The Queen Mother was quite surprised, the reason why Murong Jing was in a hurry to pick her up was because she was afraid that the palace would be too dangerous, why did she agree to send her daughter-in-law to the dangerous cave now?

"Ling Yao came back because of the Empress Dowager. If this matter is not resolved, she will inevitably worry about it all the time. It would be better to settle it as soon as possible."

Feeling that the small hand in the palm was holding her, Murong Jing lowered her head and gave her wife a look, and continued: "I will do my best to protect Ling Yao from harm, and I hope the Queen Mother will make it happen."

The Empress Dowager pondered for a while, seeing the firm expressions of the couple, she had no choice but to respond: "Go, I will, but if something happens to Ling Yao, I will ask you!"

"Yes."

Murong Jing hurriedly responded, but Chu Lingyao said again: "Queen Mother, I want Zhixi to go with me."

Chu Lingyao's doubts about the Empress Dowager knew about it, so when she heard Zhixi being mentioned, she said, "What else did you think of?"

"The Queen Mother is wise."

Chu Lingyao smiled embarrassingly, and then said seriously: "Whether the queen mother trusts Zhixi or not, it is an indisputable fact that she acts secretly. I want to take this opportunity to ask Mother Du to check Zhixi's room and see her. Whether you have been involved in this matter, if you can really find a breakthrough from her, you can follow the clues and find out who is behind the scenes."

Not waiting for the Queen Mother to have any opinion, she continued: "I know that the Queen Mother is thinking about the old relationship, but if this person is not found out, I don't trust her to stay with the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager shook her head, her tone was half helpless and half gratified: "It's all up to you."

Only then did Chu Lingyao smile: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Then he turned sideways and said, "Mother Du, please."

Mother Du shook her head: "Although I don't believe that Zhixi would do such a thing as poisoning the Queen Mother, it's better to find out. Madam, don't worry, this old slave will definitely not have the slightest intention to cover up."

Several people dispersed after discussing, Zhi Xi and Du Mama always served by Chu Lingyao's side, after lunch Murong Jing pretended to leave, Chu Lingyao mentioned going to Lanzhi Palace only when he was bored.

Above the sleeping hall, Murong Jing tied up the corners of her clothes, and followed the people below to the roof of Lanzhi Palace lightly and skillfully.

"Hey, why does Ling Yao have time to come to my place?"

Still in an uncomfortable friendly tone, Concubine Li welcomed Chu Lingyao into the inner hall, showing nothing unusual on her face.

It's just that the hall is obviously not as clean as her face.

The corners of Chen Lingyao's eyes glanced at the clutter that could not be concealed under the curtain, and his face remained calm: "I offended Empress Li earlier, Ling Yaote came to make amends."

"What's the matter, if you want to trouble Ling Yao, you can go for a trip hehehe..."

The contrived laughter made Murong Jing on the roof look bitter, but remembering that his wife was below, she could only resist the urge to leave.

"Of course Ling Yao is not just for this matter."

As if not noticing Concubine Li's sudden stop of laughter, Chen Lingyao took out the kit from before without changing his face: "I don't know if this belongs to Concubine Li?"

"What... is this?"

A trace of obvious panic flashed across Concubine Li's face, and although she quickly covered it up, she was clearly noticed by Chu Lingyao who was secretly paying attention, and she instantly had a calculation in her heart.

"Ling Yao doesn't know what it is. I picked it up in front of the Cining Palace earlier. I thought it belonged to Concubine Li and sent it here. If it wasn't, Ling Yao would have given it to the Empress Dowager directly."

"You haven't opened it?"

There was some luck in Concubine Li's voice, and Chu Lingyao secretly laughed in his heart, but his tone was still calm: "Ling Yao doesn't have that kind of curiosity."

It was indeed not her, it was Bai Aoshuang who opened it.

Concubine Li still remembered the accompanying smile on her face, but the expression in her eyes changed a few times, and finally she said unexpectedly to Chu Lingyao: "I really don't have such a box in my palace, please run Ling Yao over."

No matter whether Chu Lingyao knows what's in the box, she can't admit that it's something from her Lanzhi Palace, otherwise it's like picking up a jackal that can bite at any time, and she will be dragged by this thing at any time Go into the water.

Chu Lingyao also followed the good advice: "It's nothing, I'm bothering Concubine Li, Ling Yao will leave."

When Chu Lingyue returned safely to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Murong Jing felt relieved and left the palace.

At the same time, Mother Du was putting the Qixia Dan found in Zhixi's room in front of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, and took a few glances at the red pill: "This is Qixia Pill?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, this old slave found it from Zhixi's room, and it is exactly the same as the Qixia Pill that Doctor Bai said."

After all, she has been an old sister for many years, and when she suddenly knew that Zhixi might poison the queen mother, Mother Du still couldn't believe it: "But this old slave still doesn't want to believe that Zhixi can do such a thing, please check carefully with the queen mother."

"I think..."

After staring at the crimson elixir on her fingertips for a long while, the queen mother calmly said, "Could it be Zhixi who made it at this time."

Mother Du was taken aback for a moment, and then her face was full of doubts—she really didn't want Zhixi to do such a thing, but here is the ironclad evidence, why would the queen mother say such a thing?
To be honest, Mother Du knew what the Queen Mother was like when she was young. She is definitely not the kind of person who can forgive sins for the sake of old love, so there must be a reason for her words.

Sure enough, after a while, the queen mother spoke again: "You saw Zhixi when she came back from Xinzheku, such a small bag is not enough to hold a few changes of clothes, where can she put these pills?" ?”

Mother Du opened her mouth, but was speechless.

Indeed, when Zhixi returned to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she only brought a small bundle, and the Queen Mother was quite sad about it for a while, but if she didn't bring these pills, how could they be in her room?

What if she got this elixir after she entered the Compassionate Ning Palace?

Mother Du couldn't help but said: "The queen mother, do you still remember that Madam said that Zhixi had contact with people outside the palace?"

The queen mother waved her hand: "Of course I know this, but have you ever thought that Ruo Zhixi really got this medicine from someone else, so she will naturally use it up as soon as possible, if that's the case, how could you dig out so many Qixia Dan Come?"

This made sense, Mama Du was at a loss for words for a while, and heard the transmission from the little eunuch outside the palace, but it turned out that Chu Lingyao had already returned.

"Put it away first, and ask Zhixi what's going on later, so you don't have to guess."

After the Empress Dowager had spoken, Mama Du put the Qixia Pill back into the wooden box, and then bowed and stood beside her.

"Ling Yao pays respects to the Empress Dowager."

After seeing the ceremony properly, Chu Lingyao sat down with the queen mother and said: "I just went to Lanzhi Palace, I'm afraid that Concubine Li and Qixia Dan are really related."

"How to say?"

"When I entered Lanzhi Palace, I found that the palace was a bit messy. I was looking for something first. After I took out the kit, Concubine Li repeatedly denied that it was something in her palace, but she looked very bad. , from which it can be deduced that she must know about this elixir."

As to the extent to which it is known, it cannot be determined.

The queen mother pondered for a while, and did not express her attitude towards Chu Lingyue's words, but instead asked Zhixi who was standing by her side: "Zhixi, you also followed, what do you think of Li Concubine's attitude?"

Caught off guard by being asked, Zhixi was obviously stunned for a moment before saying: "This old slave dare not speculate on what Li Concubine Madam Li wants, the Queen Mother forgives me."

"I don't dare to speculate..."

The Queen Mother nodded meaningfully, and suddenly said: "Then tell me what these pills mean."

Following the Queen Mother's opening, Mother Du opened the wooden box and put it back on the table. Under the crimson elixir, several people had different complexions. In the end, it was Chu Lingyao who spoke first: "This is..."

"Let Zhixi say that it was found from her room."

The queen mother spoke, but there was no emotion in her tone.

Zhixi's face turned pale after opening the wooden box, and she still hadn't recovered at the moment. The Queen Mother asked for a while before replying: "This... the old slave suffered from paralysis of legs and feet in Xinzheku these years, So I went to the doctor to get these pills, I don't know how the Queen Mother..."
