Ruoxu walked into the palace and whispered to Xu Dairou: "All the imperial doctors have gone to the palace of Concubine Zhao."
Xu Dairou was already drowsy under the warmth of the smoke cage, but after hearing this, she hurriedly sat up and said, "All the imperial doctors?"
Ruoxu said: "Yes, it seems that the Holy Emperor really attaches great importance to Concubine Zhao's pregnancy."
Xu Dairou breathed a sigh of relief, narrowed his eyes and said, "Since all the imperial doctors have passed away, it seems that Concubine Zhao's pregnancy is destined to be unpregnant."
Ruoxu said: "Then Madam, do we want to go there?"
Xu Dai Judo: "Groom me."
Since all the royal doctors have been invited to make a fuss, naturally I can't wear too elaborate makeup.
Xu Dairou looked at herself in the mirror. It was not eye-catching among the crowd, but it wasn't like she would lose sight of everyone.
Xu Dai Judo: "Let's go."
Xu Dairou was not the only one who was watching the excitement. He met many concubines on the road, with anxious faces on their faces. It was not clear what they were thinking in their hearts.
But when they arrived outside Jingxiu Palace, the Shenying Guards stood guard outside with their heads held high, guarding Jingxiu Palace tightly.
Xu Dai Judo: "We heard that Imperial Concubine Zhao was ill, so we came here to visit her."
Shenying Wei said: "Concubine Zhao is inconvenient, and the Holy One has ordered her not to be disturbed."
Leng Bingbing persuaded most of the palace concubines to retreat with one word.
But Xu Jieyu knew what was going on and stayed outside waiting for another person to come.
Queen Xu looked troubled and arrived late, but she didn't expect that the Shenying Guards wouldn't even give Queen Xu face.
The remaining concubines waited outside Jingxiu Palace for a long time, but no news came out from inside.
It was freezing cold and snowflakes were flying. Xu Dairou's feet were so cold when she stood. When she looked up, she saw that Queen Xu had just looked away from her.
Xu Dairou walked to Queen Xu with a smile and said: "Queen, my concubine's hand stove is for you."
Empress Xu hugged her hand stove and said proudly: "No need, I will go back now."
After saying that, Queen Xu turned and left without looking back.
With their hot faces pressed against their cold buttocks, some palace concubines looked at the pair of aunt and nephew with curiosity.
The smile on Xu Dairou's face faded. Empress Xu didn't treat her well in the past, but she wouldn't be so cold either.
But Xu Dairou looked at Queen Xu's back and thought about her plan to kill two birds with one stone, and one bird had already been shot down.
The remaining bird will not be able to fly for long.
After Queen Xu returned to Changchun Palace, she did not fall asleep and said: "I always feel that things are a bit strange. Why did the Holy Emperor seal Jingxiu Palace?"
Si Xue said: "It is unusual for Concubine Zhao to have a miscarriage in front of the Holy Master. News came from the imperial dining room that the chef responsible for Concubine Zhao's meals tonight was quietly taken away. They are probably investigating in secret."
While tending to the flowers and plants, Queen Xu said: "Just check, check everything, and make this palace clean."
There are many talented people and craftsmen in the palace, and even in winter, there are still flowers and plants growing in the greenhouse.
As the master of the harem, Queen Xu naturally cannot do without her.
Sixue said: "Looking at Xu Jieyu's appearance, she is still kept in the dark."
Empress Xu kept cutting all the flowers in the pot, and a single flower stood out in the pot. She said: "If she really treats Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi well, I will ignore the past grudges and keep her in the palace as a toy to relieve boredom.
However, she is so heartless that she actually came up with the idea of raising two princes."
Sixue lowered her head.
To be honest, Xu Dairou's modest moral skills were not enough for the Empress. The Empress teased her like a cat playing with a mouse.
Since entering the palace, Xu Dairou's every move has been watched by the Queen.
Watching Xu Dairou struggling and jumping around, after having enough fun, she grabbed her to death with her claws.
Very pitiful.
But the weak can eat the strong, who can say that it is wrong?
Sixue said: "If Xu Jieyu falls, what should we do next?"
What Sixue means is that the Holy Emperor's favor for Queen Xu is no longer there, but with Xu Jieyu's presence, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince can still hang out in front of Queen Xu every once in a while.
If Xu Jieyu is gone and the Holy Emperor does not want to see Queen Xu, the two princes will be more or less left out.
Queen Xu sneered and said, "The most indispensable thing in this palace is beauty."
For some reason, Sixue was still a little uneasy and said, "I'm still worried about whether the Xu family will embarrass you."
Queen Xu stared at the unique flower in the pot and said: "It is enough for the Xu family to have only one girl in the harem."
"No one in the court today mentioned the establishment of a prince."
"The Xu family knows how to choose."
Sixue looked at Queen Xu's disapproving face and sighed quietly in her heart.
The Xu family naturally knows how to choose, but there is a difference between sincerely choosing and being forced to choose.
Just thinking about the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince, it is not wrong for Queen Xu to take this step.
----------------------------------------
The Holy Spirit was poisoned. He was lying on the bed dizzy, his face was numb, his breathing was rapid, and his heartbeat was racing.
The imperial doctor arrived just in time. After taking the medicine, he vomited everything in his stomach.
"Poisoned."
The doctors said unanimously.
The Holy Spirit was so frightened that many things flashed through his mind.
He first thought of Concubine Zhao who asked him to feed bird's nests, but when his ears were ringing and dizzy, he heard an imperial doctor say, "Concubine Zhao is poisoned and the child cannot be saved."
So he naturally thought of Master Zhong, the Minister of Rites, of setting up a prince, of the Ninth Prince, and of Queen Xu.
Then I thought of the eldest princess, King Xiaoyao, and the fifth prince.
I even thought of the Sixth Prince and Princess Jiang.
All thoughts passed through my mind in an instant.
The Holy Master spat out another mouthful of concoction and said with difficulty: "Stop the news and summon the Taiwei to the palace."
In critical moments, he subconsciously chose the person he trusted the most.
The saint's facial muscles were completely numb, and when he spoke, his saliva flowed out uncontrollably.
Several imperial doctors worked together, taking pulses, administering acupuncture, giving medicine, inducing vomiting...
Jingxiu Palace became a mess.
The Holy Emperor grabbed the arm of an imperial doctor and said with saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth: "Can I live?"
No matter how reluctant he was, he still thought about his own affairs.
No matter who poisoned him, he would definitely be the crown prince.
But looking back, the fifth prince was violent and the sixth prince was weak, neither of them behaved like a wise king.
The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince are young, they are in charge of the young country, and their relatives are involved in politics.
Concubine Zhao's child is gone, and now her life hangs on a thread just like him.
If you must choose...
The Holy One closed his eyes.
The image of Queen Xiaomin before leaving came to mind.
Her eyes widened, and with a look of determination, she grabbed his hand with all her strength and said the last words:
"Treat this child well and I won't blame you."
With the eldest princess and King Xiaoyao here, the fifth prince had no choice but to make a choice.
Even if he usually dislikes the fifth prince, deep down in his heart, he still prefers the fifth prince.
He could feel the numbness on his face spreading to his neck, the air he could breathe became less and less, and despair spread in his heart.
At this time, Shao Wuji rushed to the Holy One and called: "The Holy One!"
The Holy Emperor looked at Shao Wuji, opened his mouth, and wanted to say "Fifth Prince".
The imperial doctor suddenly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that your life is not in danger."
