Thousands of miles away, in the slightly dull palace, flowers were in full bloom in the royal garden. In front of such a beautiful scenery, two beauties in palace clothes were walking leisurely on the blue brick path.

"The beautiful scenery is so beautiful, but it's a pity that no one comes to enjoy it." A person on the left, wearing a fresh green palace dress, sighed as he looked at the scenery.

A person on the right supported her and said after hearing this: "The emperor is not in the palace, who can have such thoughts, the queen doesn't come out much, the palace is completely dead."

"That's fine. Let's just watch the scene quietly. If there are too many people, it will be annoying."

"What Concubine Jing said is that you should be more careful now that you are pregnant."

"Yes," Concubine Jing responded. Seeing a pavilion in front of her, she said, "Let's go there and sit. I'm a little tired after walking for a long time."

The two of them walked towards the pavilion in front. Unexpectedly, a black cat suddenly jumped out from the side and swooped past the eyes of the two of them. Concubine Jing was so frightened that she was unprepared and screamed back.

, fell to the ground, Concubine Li was also frightened badly, and she was still thinking about holding up Concubine Jing, but she couldn't steady herself, and fell together. The maid behind her hurriedly came to help her, and she fell.

group.

"Meow--"

The black cat hissed and ran away.

"Empress, it's okay," everyone panicked and hurriedly helped Concubine Jing. However, Concubine Li was steady and scolded: "Why don't you go and ask the imperial doctor quickly, and then send someone back to report to the Empress."

Peony Palace.

The queen was listening to Dongqing's report about Jiangnan. Xiangling hurriedly knocked on the door. Usually Xiangling was not such an impulsive person. Something important must have happened. She hurriedly ordered Dongqing to stop and said, "Come in."

Xiangling pushed the door open and came in, hurriedly approached and saluted: "To the Queen, the servants around Concubine Jing are here to report that Concubine Jing fell down in the imperial garden."

The queen's face suddenly changed, and she stood up hurriedly, "What are you doing here? Go to Fuyu Palace." The emperor is not in the palace at the moment. If something goes wrong with Concubine Jing's fetus, she, the queen, will not be able to escape the blame. Besides,

, she also obeyed the imperial decree to take care of Concubine Jing’s fetus. God bless her, but it’s better not to cause any trouble.

In Fuu Palace, Dr. Wei, who specializes in gynecology, was diagnosing Concubine Jing's pulse. When he stopped, the queen quickly asked: "How is Concubine Jing's fetus?"

"Back to the Empress, Concubine Jing was frightened, but the fetus is stable and there is no serious problem. Medication is not allowed during pregnancy. Wei Chen will prescribe a pair of anti-fetal medicines for Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing can rest in peace for a few days.

Recovery, but you must be careful in the future and don't be frightened again, which will be detrimental to the emperor's heirs."

"That's very good." The queen's heart dropped to the ground, "Please step back."

The queen approached the bed and saw Concubine Jing lying on the bed. She was in shock and her face was still pale. She stepped forward and held her hand: "Don't worry, sister Concubine Jing. The imperial doctor said that your fetus is fine. It can be seen that this child is really blessed by God."

His blessings and blessings are profound.”

Concubine Jing's tone was light, "Thank you, the Empress, for your comfort. My concubine's child is naturally blessed with profound blessings and cannot tolerate a vicious heart."

The queen was startled, then smiled kindly, "Don't worry, sister, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give my sister justice."

"Then it's Empress Lao." Concubine Jing looked exhausted, closing her eyes and falling asleep.

The queen felt a breath stuck in her heart, coughed dryly, and walked out quietly.

"Your Majesty," Xiang Ling called worriedly when he saw her fierce expression.

The queen didn't seem to hear, her eyes were cold and she shouted angrily: "Take all the accompanying servants to the Peony Palace. I want to see who has such courage to touch the emperor's heir!"

A group of people, including the concubine Li who lived in the side hall, were summoned to the Peony Palace. Queen Meng had always been generous and rarely spoke harshly. Now she looked at the group of people kneeling below, her eyes filled with anger. It was obvious that

He was really angry.

The people below didn't dare to hide anything. According to the truth one by one, they all said that Concubine Jing was frightened by a black cat that suddenly jumped out and fell down.

The queen pondered for a moment, "Black cat?" Does anyone in this palace have a cat?

Xiangling seemed to be thinking of the club, and hurriedly stepped forward to reply: "To answer my question, I remember that Concubine Xia of Wisteria Hall seems to have a cat. I have seen it a few times. The cat is all black, with only one pair of green eyes, which is very penetrating.

.”

The queen was furious and hit the handrail with her palm, "Go and bring Xia Concubine here. I will interrogate her personally."

Xia Concubine came over quickly. After the queen finished asking her question, she was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and shouted: "I am unjustly accused. Queen, you have to make the decision for me. I have a cat, but

Where did this concubine get her ability to instruct her to frighten Concubine Jing? The Queen is aware of it!"

There is some truth in this statement. Even if a cat is spiritual, it is not a human being after all. It is really difficult to order it to hurt people.

Concubine Xia added: "What's more, I haven't been to the Imperial Garden for a long time, so how did I know that Concubine Jing was in the Imperial Garden today? I'm afraid it's a beast that's hard to train, and I don't know if I collided with Concubine Jing."

The Queen was indeed in trouble, but what Concubine Xia said made some sense. Moreover, Concubine Jing and the others did not see Concubine Xia, but a cat suddenly jumped out. After considering it for a moment, she said: "Although you did not intend to harm the emperor's heir.

, but it was the cat you raised that hurt people, so you can't escape the relationship. Fortunately, Concubine Jing is fine, and the dragon fetus is safe. I will punish you by being grounded for a year, and as for the cat, it will be killed immediately."

"The Queen is wise." Li Bin and others said.

"This," Xia Concubine was filled with shame and anger, and shouted, "The Queen knows for sure that I really don't know anything about this."

"Enough!" the queen scolded: "You should be glad that I am here today. If you are the emperor, do you think you can save your life? Why don't you go back and repent?"

Xia Concubine was so frightened that she didn't dare to argue any more and left angrily.

After Concubine Li returned to the palace, she went to the main hall to visit Concubine Jing. At this time, Concubine Jing had already sat up, half leaning on the bedrail, staring at the scorching hibiscus outside in a daze. When she saw her coming in, she asked with her eyes.

Concubine Li sat in front of her bed and gathered up the slipping silk quilt for her, "The queen punished Concubine Xia and fined her for being grounded for a year, so this matter is settled."

Concubine Jing sneered a few times after hearing this, "I didn't expect to catch the murderer, but this is good. It can serve as a warning to He Gong and let them see that they can't move the fetus in my belly."

Concubine Li advised: "My queen, don't be angry. You are carrying the first child in this palace, so you are naturally very eye-catching. We just have to pay attention to everything and never let others take advantage of the loopholes."

"That's right!" Concubine Jing said sincerely: "It's just a pity that Concubine Li is not in the palace. If she were here, with her status and wisdom, she would be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes for me, and I will not suffer this pain in vain."

Concubine Li listened quietly, with a strange expression in her eyes, but did not answer any more words.

That indifferent woman in plain clothes, depending on her character, may not be willing to get involved in right and wrong, right?!!

In the Peony Palace, it was a different scene.

Concubine Zhuang heard about this from others, so she hurried over and talked with the two empresses in the Nuan Pavilion. Dongqing was left to serve inside, and Xiangling was also punished.

Xiang Ling understood that the Queen had alienated her because of Xiang Ping's incident. Although she felt helpless, she was also glad that she didn't like intrigues and plots to harm others, so she could get rid of them now. However, after thinking about it, in the end,

It was a bit chilling. After all, she had been serving her master since she was a child, and now she seemed like an outsider.

In the room, Concubine Zhuang asked anxiously: "I wonder how the Queen views this matter?"

The queen glanced at her sideways and said, "Why are you always so reckless? You don't have to think about such things. It's just that someone couldn't stand Concubine Jing's favor, and secretly set a trap to make her lose the dragon fetus.

"

Concubine Zhuang thought to herself: Needless to say, I also know that someone is doing it secretly, and they are showing all humility on their faces, "Your Majesty, I also know that I am stupid. I wonder who you think is responsible for this?"

The queen pondered for a moment and touched the raised pattern on the cuffs, "I can't say for sure about this. It's just the few left in the palace. That's all. Apart from that, Concubine Jing is so careful in everything, and I have

Protect it, I expect nothing will go wrong with this fetus, but Jiangnan is quite tricky."

As soon as Concubine Zhuang heard the word "Jiangnan", she immediately became energetic and asked energetically: "But there is new news, why is the empress worried? Could it be that Concubine Li has taken advantage of it again?"

"It's not her," the queen said irritably, her beautiful brows knitted together, her eyes narrowed, and a trace of wrinkles appeared in the corners of her eyes, "all the concubines accompanying her in the Yangzhou mansion the day before yesterday were poisoned, and one maid died.

Concubine Li is fine."

"What! Poisoned!" Concubine Zhuang exclaimed, but the Queen glanced at her and quickly covered her mouth, "My Majesty, please calm down. I am just too surprised. The hotel is heavily guarded. How could someone poison me? But it was found out that it was poisoning."

Who did it?"

"Hmph," the queen sneered, "I found out after checking, and it's really ridiculous to say that it was Maid Lan who, together with the maid, was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, and smuggled into the Willow Leaf Peach Blossom Hall and got it into the soup."

For once, Concubine Zhuang was clever. She grasped the important point and asked: "Since he was poisoned in the dishes, why is Concubine Li okay?"

Unexpectedly, the queen's face became even more angry, her eyes seemed to have shards of ice popping out, she seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and her voice was sharp, "Why? Oh, the emperor loves her so much that all the meals come out of the same pot with the emperor, but you do

Tell me, who is tired of living and dares to poison the emperor?"

"Ah!" Concubine Zhuang exclaimed, also showing hatred, "I didn't expect that the emperor would pamper her like this!!"

"Isn't that true?" the queen sneered. "If Maid Lan really wanted to take revenge, she would not be the first to spare Concubine Li. It's good that she is fine now. Unfortunately, that maid became the scapegoat."

Concubine Zhuang asked again: "Do you believe that Maid Lan did this?"

"Oh," the smile on the queen's face became thinner and colder, "If Maid Lan is so capable, she will not be kicked out of the Yangzhou Pavilion. Concubine Li, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Shu Gui are accompanying them.

Someone who is not a very powerful person? She just became the scapegoat."

Concubine Zhuang thought for a while and nodded, "Your Majesty is right, the three of them are indeed powerful."

"That's all, it's useless to think too much. I'm exhausted. You can go back."

"yes."
