Chapter 222 Salted Fish Turns Over

"Empress!" Wei Ning'er called out. [ ]

"Yeah." The queen suddenly woke up and said with a smile: "The emperor actually gave you this thing. It's better that I feel relieved!" After saying that, the queen said: "Do the medicine quickly, be careful, don't choke!"

"Yes!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly. It didn't happen that the queen seemed to care for her very much, which made her a little uneasy.

"Empress, why have you always looked at the concubine like this recently? Is it wrong?" Wei Ning'er finally realized that the queen had been looking at her after drinking the medicine.

The queen was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I didn't notice it myself. Perhaps Ning'er is getting more and more beautiful, and even I can't take my eyes off!"

How could Wei Ning'er not know what the queen was hiding, but she didn't dare to ask more questions.

"By the way, can you see clearly who pulled you under the water that day?" the queen asked in a low voice, her expression full of solemnity.

"Wei Zeng, the concubine was so scared that she was just trying to kick him. She never saw who it was!" Wei Ning'er shook her head and said.

The queen's face changed slightly: "You have been sick these days, and some things Bingruo and they dare not tell you. Rumors have spread in the palace recently, saying that many servants have drowned in this lake and have been haunted, but... I don't believe that in the sun, those dirty things dare to come out, and... I only drag you under the water!"

Wei Ning'er sneered, "Those people did their own faults and pushed them to ghosts and gods, and were not afraid of retribution!"

The queen pondered for a moment before saying, "There are many people who were setting water at the sun, and it was very messy. If someone took the opportunity to do something bad, it would be hard to guard against it. However... I think that the man's purpose was just to scare you. At that time, many servants who knew how to water had arrived, and... Afterwards, some people spread rumors in the palace that it was a life-threatening soul that wanted to scare you."

When Wei Ning'er heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud: "Empress, then they have miscalculated. The concubines have never felt guilty about their work and have never harmed anyone's lives. Why are they afraid of seeking life if they are unjust souls?"

"Yeah!" The queen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I know your character very well, but... Unfortunately, after this trouble, you can't go to the Mulan Plateau with the emperor, but... they will definitely not be able to make trouble."

Wei Ning'er was a little worried and said, "Empress, many things have happened over the past few days, but I can't find the person instructing me again and again. Although I have a clear idea in my heart, there is no evidence. If this continues, I will be unable to withstand one day!"

The queen sighed and said, "I don't want to harm people's lives like you, but... I'm always plotted against me, and my patience is limited. Now I'm outside, so we have to be more careful. When I return to the palace, I will settle the score with her!"

"Empress, you also suspect it's her!" Wei Ning'er looked at the queen in surprise.

"Who is it that she is not? Others are afraid that they don't have the ability, but I will not wrongly accuse her. One day, people will be captured. See how she quibbles. By then, I will definitely not show mercy!" The queen sneered.

Wei Ning'er nodded slightly, and was plotted one after another, but she would not bear this tone.

For half a month, Wei Ning'er had never left her small garden. She kept her body peacefully and chatted with Lu Yunxi all day long. The empress dowager seemed to have forgotten everyone and never left her Songhezhai.

"The Empress Dowager is really elusive. She was reluctant to give in to you at the beginning, but now the emperor is not in the palace, so she ignores you!" Lu Yunxi smiled and finally felt relieved. She was still worried.

Wei Ning'er smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager only cares about the emperor and cares about the Qing Dynasty. She will not take us concubines seriously. There is no difference between one more and one less, but... as long as it is not good for the emperor or the Qing Dynasty, she will not stay."

"Will we be peaceful and peaceful in the harem be detrimental to the emperor to the Qing Dynasty?" Lu Yunxi looked at Wei Ning'er in amazement.

Wei Ning'er was also helpless and smiled and said, "I heard clearly what the Empress Dowager said last time. The Empress Dowager was just because the Emperor was kind to me and was afraid that I would be cholera!"

"You?" Lu Yunxi looked at her with a look of surprise: "How is that possible?"

"I don't even believe it myself, but... the Empress Dowager wanted my life for the sake of the emperor. Now she might have figured it out a lot and would not make things difficult for me anymore. Of course, it's not possible for someone to instigate me. I have to be careful in the future!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile.

"Little Master, the Empress is here!" At this moment, Qingyan came into the hall and said respectfully.

Wei Ning'er and Lu Yunxi immediately stood up and greeted him: "Empress, great blessings, Jin'an!"

"Get up!" The queen's face was a little bad.

When Wei Ning'er and Lu Yunxi met, they suddenly realized something was wrong, otherwise the queen would not have been like this.

"Thank you!" The two of them stood up.

"Empress, what happened?" After a while, Wei Ning'er saw that the queen was still sitting there without saying anything, and her face looked extremely ugly. She suddenly felt a sudden look in her heart and then asked in a low voice.

The queen took a deep breath and said, "The emperor was assassinated in the Mulan paddock!"

"What?" Wei Ning'er's face turned pale in an instant.

"Empress, there are so many guards and Eight Banners generals around the emperor, and the yard is guarded by officers and soldiers. How could he meet an assassin?" Lu Yunxi was also shocked, but he was not too worried. After all, the emperor was just an emperor in her heart. Even if he did not have it, there would be a new emperor. At that time, her identity would only change from an unpopular noble person to a more inconspicuous and noble person.

"Empress, how is the emperor?" Wei Ning'er's words were trembling.

The queen said in a deep voice: "The emperor is safe in dragon body!"

"That's good!" The big stone in Wei Ning'er's heart fell down immediately, and then asked: "Empress, what happened? How could there be an assassin in Mulan paddock?"

Not to mention that Wei Ning'er didn't believe it, even the queen didn't believe it. The emperor went to Mulan Equinox to hunt, but actually trained the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. There were three floors inside and three floors outside were full of Eight Banners officers and soldiers. Some people could infiltrate in and assassinate the emperor. This is unprecedented and unprecedented. Since the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty had been hunting in Mulan Equinox for a long time, but the assassination had never happened. Even Wei Ning'er and Concubine Jia were in danger last year, which was surprising.

"Empress, last year, the concubine and Concubine Jia were in danger in Mulan paddock, and someone did it on purpose. The concubine said something very disrespectful, which was done by Concubine Xian, and I taught her a lesson. After being blamed for fifty years, she had not recovered for a long time and had already resigned from the position of assistant leader. But... no matter how brave she is, she would not dare to assassinate the emperor, let alone, what good will it do to her if something happened to the emperor?" Wei Ning'er couldn't understand.

The queen sneered: "Yes, you said it right. Concubine Xian naturally dared not let someone assassinate the emperor, not to mention that she has resigned from the position of Zuo Ling, and who else can help her!"

When Wei Ning'er heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind and then said, "Empress, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"You said!" The queen nodded slightly: "I am here, but it's okay to say it."

"Does Empress still remember Qingzhu, the original in charge of the concubine's palace?" Wei Ning'er whispered.

The queen nodded slightly: "It's the palace maid who almost killed you when you secretly left the palace last time. Wasn't she dead?"

Wei Ning'er shook her head: "Empress, she is not dead. I have saved her life and secretly placed her in the most secluded place in the cold palace. Empress, Qingzhu was originally serving the noble concubine, and later... she followed the order of the noble concubine to serve the prince and the prince at that time. After leaving the palace with the prince, Qingzhu stayed in the palace to help Concubine Xian!"

"Why did she help Concubine Xian?" The queen frowned and then said coldly: "Can the rumors in the palace be true? Concubine Xian liked the prince, but the late emperor issued an order to give her to the emperor as a concubine?"

"Qi Zhu, after Qing Zhu learned that Concubine Xian was asking her for her life, she told the people sent by her concubines. The concubine promised her that she would let her go out of the palace in the future, and she wanted to tell her the secret of Concubine Xian. According to her, Concubine Xian and Prince He did have an old relationship, and she also told her to stay in the palace to help Concubine Xian. Otherwise, she would have taken her with her when she left the palace with the prince. After all, she was a close palace maid!" Wei Ning'er said with solemnity.

The queen suddenly realized: "So that's it, so to say that... Concubine Xian is very likely to join forces with He and the Prince to harm the emperor. Could it be that Hongzhou wants to rebel?"

Wei Ning'er and Lu Yunxi were also frightened and could not say a word for a long time.

"Empress, the emperor is afraid that he will be in danger at this time?" Wei Ning'er took a deep breath and said.

The queen pondered for a moment, but shook her head gently: "Hongzhou doesn't have the courage or ability. The emperor has ascended the throne for a long time and the court has been stable. What's more, with Fu Heng and E Ning here, I am not worried about the emperor, but what I can't understand is that the emperor is fine, but Concubine Xian is seriously injured."

"How could she be injured?" Wei Ning'er was slightly surprised.

"The person who came back from Mulan paddock to report the news said that Concubine Xian blocked a sword for the emperor. The sword was at the center of the sword. I didn't know whether she was dead or alive at this time?" The queen was also puzzled.

"Stop the sword for the emperor!" Wei Ning'er suddenly widened her eyes.

"I also felt unbelievable, but she did so, and... the assassin pretended to be a man with a yellow flag, and everyone was not prepared for it. The assassin was also killed by the person who rushed up to protect the carriage, and there was no evidence of death!" The queen said in a deep voice.

Wei Ning'er was silent after hearing this, and then said for a while: "Empress... If Concubine Xian lost her life, it would be fine. If she was lucky enough to save her life, then she would... in the future..."
