"Ms. Zhen Fei, Xi'er knows that you are sad and sad. But how can you do it when you are so weak? Also, why is your courtyard so empty? I'm looking at you. Why are there only six maids in the palace?"
Murong Xi was talking to Concubine Zhen while diagnosing Concubine Zhen's pulse.
Concubine Zhen showed an awkward smile. When she was in the mansion, as a concubine, she had four first-class maids and four second-class maids. Needless to say, there were other rough maids, as well as two nuns.
.However, after entering the palace, there were fewer and fewer people around him.
Concubine Zhen did not speak, but the maid next to her hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you don't know something. Your servants Caiyi and Caiyun were brought by your mother-in-law from your natal family, and the other maids were arranged by the palace. It started."
At that time, there were naturally a lot of palace maids, and they were all assigned according to the specifications of the palace. But later, other palaces did not have enough manpower, so they all were transferred. Now, including the slaves and Caiyun, there are only six palace maids in total, and they will probably not be transferred again.
The person has gone to another palace."
Murong Xi nodded and understood that the drama of the palace fight was not the same. Seeing that Concubine Zhen was not favored, he naturally had to recruit people from her palace. Fortunately, his father was still thinking of Concubine Zhen during the palace banquet, otherwise Concubine Zhen
I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for a long time.
"Caiyi, talk too much." Concubine Zhen said softly. Concubine Zhen looked very weak, but there was no trace of sadness on her face. Instead, Caiyi was indignant.
"Your Majesty, what Cai Yi said is true. Cai Yi feels sorry for you. If this were not the case, how could you be so weak?" Cai Yi said aggrievedly on behalf of Concubine Zhen.
"Mother Zhen, what Cai Yi said is right. You need to take good care of your health. I have one more thing to discuss with you today. Xi'er has already reported yesterday's matter to his father, and his father promised Xi'er to investigate this matter secretly.
The matter will not be publicized. Moreover, he has sent people to the Imperial Hospital and asked Imperial Doctor Liu to come over for treatment soon." Murong Xi persuaded simply.
She had already checked Concubine Zhen's pulse and found that there was a slow-acting poison in her body. It was not that it could not kill a person, but the amount of medicine was so small that even the imperial doctor could not diagnose it. About two or three years later, Zhen Fei
The concubine will fade away and die.
"Princess, did you tell His Majesty the matter? Why did you tell him such a small matter?" After hearing Murong Xi's words, Concubine Zhen looked sad.
"Concubine Zhen, my father was very angry after hearing this. At first, he wanted to investigate the matter personally, but Xi'er stopped him. Xi'er was afraid that he would disturb the situation and cause trouble. Besides, where is this?
It's a trivial matter, the death of a cat is a trivial matter, but using a cat to scare a concubine is no longer a trivial matter." Murong Xi said slowly.
"I didn't want him to know about this. Over the years, I have lived a good life in this courtyard. I just didn't want to think that someone would want to scare me. What do you think the person who scared me wanted? I
Firstly, I am not favored, and secondly, I have no intention of attracting His Majesty's attention." Concubine Zhen said in confusion.
"Empress, Xi'er wants to ask you, besides what happened to your cat this time, is there anything else that happened?" Murong Xi asked. Since he wants to scare Concubine Zhen, he must scare her not just this time.
There should be other things happening.
Concubine Zhen thought for a while and hesitated to speak. Caiyi couldn't bear it any longer. So she said, "Your Highness, the queen won't say anything, but Caiyi will."
Murong Xi smiled, this girl was to her liking, and then said, "But it doesn't matter."
"Your Highness Princess, except this time this person used Xue'er to scare the empress, in fact, over the years,
, there are a lot of pranks, big and small." Caiyi said without any scruples.
"How many years?" Murong Xi was a little surprised. It turns out that this thing of scaring people has been happening for many years?
Cai Yi nodded, and then said: "In the past, it was not a big deal, just a prank. But, I didn't expect this person to be so vicious this time, and Xue'er..." Cai Yi couldn't say any more.
After all, it was a bit sad to have a pet that I had had for two years being killed like this.
"Then tell me what happened in these years?" Murong Xi wanted to know what kind of pranks had happened.
"The earliest one was in the early morning three years ago. After I got up, I saw a lot of dead mice in the yard. After cleaning them up, I told the queen. Then the next time was similar. Another time,
The slave girl remembers very clearly that there was a doll placed in the center of the yard. There was nothing on it but the word "Zhen Fei" was written on it, and then the doll's chest was covered with embroidery needles. This happened a month ago, and the slave girl did not put it.
Instead of throwing away the doll, I put it away, and I will show it to Her Highness the Princess for inspection." After saying that, Cai Yi turned around to get it.
Concubine Zhen shook her head, and then said: "Caiyi, didn't you tell me that the doll was thrown away?"
Caiyi turned around and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am angry. I don't know who did these things to trouble Your Majesty. I can't swallow this breath. I wonder if I can find out who is so bold in private. However, I know that Your Majesty wants to
I want to keep the matter in peace, so I will not let my slave investigate, so I lied to you that the doll had been thrown away."
"That's all, go get it." Concubine Zhen said helplessly.
Then he turned to Murong Xi and said, "Princess, I made you laugh."
Murong Xi smiled and said, "No way, Xi'er is really afraid that you will throw away the evidence."
Caiyi came back with the doll soon and handed her to Murong Xi.
Caiyi said, "My slave has already taken off the embroidery needle. Please be careful, princess."
Murong Xi took the doll and looked at it carefully. The workmanship was very rough. But the material was really excellent cloud satin. The doll was white and the material was cloud satin. I couldn't tell anything, but I knew which empress it must have come from.
In the palace. However, you said that if you curse Concubine Zhen, you don’t even have a birth date, and the eyebrows and eyes on the baby’s face are all painted on. It looks very ridiculous, and the workmanship is very poor. Murong Xi admitted that if
When she made this doll, she was almost at this level.
At this time, the palace maid came to report that it was Dr. Liu from the Imperial Hospital who was here to diagnose Ping An's pulse. Murong Xi put away the doll and asked Dr. Liu to come in.
"I am here to see you, Concubine Zhen, and to see Your Highness the Princess." Dr. Liu saluted and said.
"Get up." Concubine Zhen said slowly.
Doctor Liu checked Concubine Zhen's pulse, and as Murong Xi expected, there was no sign of poisoning at all. This shows how cautious the poisoner was.
Dr. Liu only prescribed some decoctions to improve Concubine Zhen's appetite and maintain her health, and asked the palace maid to follow her to get the medicine.
Murong Xi asked: "Why didn't the empress ask the imperial doctor to prepare the medicine in the imperial hospital and send it over?"
"Oh, I'm used to it. In the past, every time the imperial physician checked the pulse, he would prescribe medicine like this. It's not a serious illness, and the imperial hospital is busy all day long. So, I asked Caiyi or Caiyun to bring the medicine back and take it by myself."
Concubine Zhen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it's obvious that the people from Tai Hospital haven't given it to you yet.
When you go to deliver the medicine, you find out that they didn't boil the medicine for you at all. That's why every time you send someone to bring the medicine back, and then you boil it yourself." Cai Yi said angrily.
"What are you talking about?" Concubine Zhen said helplessly.
"Cai Yi only said it because she felt sorry for you. From now on, you should take good care of yourself and leave the rest to Xi'er." Murong Xi asked Concubine Zhen for the doll and then brought Ru Shi to meet Ning Xi.
Went to the palace.
"Ru Shi, take this brand and follow this prescription to the medical clinic to get some medicine. When you come back, go to Yuzhen Pavilion to change the medicine." After Murong Xi wrote a prescription, he handed her over to Ru Shi, and then went to the hospital again.
He took out the sign and handed it to Ru Shi and said.
"Miss, is Concubine Zhen really poisoned?" Rushi asked curiously after taking the prescription.
Murong Xi nodded, and then said: "Yes, but I don't know the purpose of the person who poisoned Concubine Zhen, and I don't know why the prankster wanted to scare Concubine Zhen. These don't seem to be consistent with common sense. If
It's true that Concubine Zhen is extremely favored. However, she is a person who has been almost forgotten. How could anyone do this?" Murong Xi still couldn't figure out why this person harmed an unfavored concubine.
What.
"Miss, you don't suspect that Concubine Zhen is trying to scare you, right?" Rushi asked.
"No, if she did these things to attract the attention of the father, she would have asked someone to notify him long ago. However, she endured it for three years. If we hadn't heard the sound in the Royal Garden, I think she would have
I don’t intend to let anyone know." Murong Xi analyzed.
"This is really strange. I'd better get some medicine first." Rushi couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. After performing Qing Gong, she went to the medical center.
In the palace of Hades
"Ye Feng, do you think the Prime Minister's wife is too busy? How about giving the Prime Minister two concubines?" Feng Mingye looked at the stars outside the window and said expressionlessly.
After hearing this, Ye Feng naturally didn't know how to answer. Now he really wanted his master to pretend that he didn't exist. Why didn't his master act according to common sense as long as it was about the princess?
"Haha, I think you are too idle. You don't want your body anymore, right?" Bai Lichen rolled his eyes, then walked into the room and put his hand on Feng Mingye's wrist.
"How?" Feng Mingye asked softly.
"Fortunately, the master should be arriving soon. When the time comes, let the master take a look at you." Bai Lichen sighed and said.
"Bai Lichen, have you ever heard of Qiluoxiang?" Feng Mingye asked, taking a sip of tea.
"Are you talking about the dead wood that Ye Tianmo gave to the old queen?" Bai Lichen thought for a while and asked.
Feng Mingye nodded and waited for Bailichen's answer.
"Of course I know. Master said that Qiluo Xiang does not only have the effect of calming the nerves as recorded in medical books. It is also highly poisonous. Why did you suddenly think of Qiluo Xiang? Could it be that you took a fancy to that piece of dead wood?" Bai Lichen was confused.
looked at Feng Mingye.
Feng Mingye laughed, then looked back and said, "It's not me who fell in love with her, it was Xi'er. She said that Qiluoxiang is a medicinal material that can cure my poison."
Bai Lichen looked at Feng Mingye in surprise, and then said: "I know she has a way to remove the poison for you, and she also said it's not now. Does Qiluoxiang really have an effect?" He knew Murong Xi's ability, but
He had never heard his master mention that Qiluoxiang could detoxify, because he only knew that the thing was highly poisonous.
