The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 228 A: Honey, B: Arsenic
Concubine Shun sat in Chengqian Palace for a while, then went back to the palace with Concubine Ling.The chariot was steadily lifted to the Changchun Palace, the afterglow of the setting sun stretched out Shun Concubine's beautiful figure, and the long palace road seemed to have no end in sight.

Along the way, Concubine Shun seemed to be lost in thought, and remained silent until she entered the Changchun Palace, where she sighed softly.

Yue Rong was at the side, and said: "Your Majesty, after you came out of Chengqian Palace, why do you seem to have something on your mind?"

Concubine Shun looked up at her, and asked, "You were in Concubine Jia's bedroom just now, but did you smell the smell from that coral?"

Yue Rong recalled, nodded and said: "There is a fragrance, which is quite special. Is there any problem with this smell?"

Concubine Shun said: "Coral is fished from the bottom of the sea, and it will gradually lose its luster after seeing the sun. In order to keep it bright and beautiful, it is often coated with a layer of glue paint. The smell you just smelled in Chengqian Palace , it is the glue that emanates."

Yue Rong wondered, "Is there anything special about this glue paint?"

Concubine Shun said again: "The paint we use is usually extracted from lacquer tree sap. After painting, the color is dull and the paint is easy to peel off. However, the coral plant of Concubine Jia is facing the sun, but the paint did not peel off at all. It's obviously mixed with cinnabar. It doesn't matter if this thing is stored in a cool and open place. However, Concubine Jia placed it beside the bed in the bedroom, and the smell will be strong, and if it lasts for a long time, it will be bad for the body."

Yue Rong frowned, and said: "The concubine Jia has a sore throat and cough, could it be because of this?"

Concubine Shun sighed: "I can't say for sure, but that coral is not a good thing after all."

Yue Rong was puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, why didn't you say that just now?"

Concubine Shun said: "The coral was sent by Concubine Ling, not to mention whether Concubine Ling is intentional or unintentional, if I tell the matter, won't Concubine Jia and Concubine Ling feel bad? Everyone in the palace is wise and safe. , why should I go to this muddy water?"

Yue Rong nodded secretly, and said: "Your Majesty, you are right. After all, that thing is not considered a poison, and it will kill people in a short while. However, if it accumulates over time, the body of Concubine Jia will eventually be unable to resist it."

A terrible thought suddenly popped up in Concubine Shun's heart, and she murmured: "Maybe...she just wants a cumulative effect..."

"Her?" Yue Rong asked ignorantly, "Your Majesty, who are you talking about?"

Concubine Shun suddenly came back to her senses, and said lightly: "It's nothing, I'll just talk casually, you go and prepare dinner."

"Yes."

Immersed alone, Concubine Shun slowly removed her makeup. In the dark bronze mirror, that soft and charming face looked a little strange.A scene from the past suddenly appeared in her mind.

When he was in the mansion, Mr. Dai told her about the principle of mutual generation and restraint of food.Back then, in the county town, there was a wealthy family whose concubine wanted to win the position of wife. Knowing that the wife was suffering from diabetes, she still served sweets every day.

Everyone praised the concubine's virtuousness, but they didn't know that the sweets were the life-threatening poison of the main wife, and within a year or two, she was dead.

A's honey, B's arsenic.

For some reason, after returning from Chengqian Palace today, Concubine Shun remembered this case, thinking about it, she felt a chill down her spine, why did Concubine Ling send a coral to Concubine Jia for no reason?

Could it be that the concubine Ling is like a rich man's concubine, who has moved her mind that she shouldn't?
A bird chirping outside suddenly interrupted Concubine Shun's train of thought, that's all, the palace was complicated and she didn't intend to get involved in it, she just pretended that she didn't know anything.
