The Queen's Beggar's Wife

"Please rest assured, empress, Moli will do her best to cure her of the poison." Moli comforted Chu Yueyin, thinking in her heart that she would ask the master to come over tomorrow to ask for Chu Yueyin's pulse and diagnose her disease. What is the poison, in order to prescribe the right medicine and cure the disease.

Chu Yue groaned: "I believe in you." She couldn't help yawning, feeling a little tired, so she casually took a handful of soothing incense from a delicate box, sprinkled it on the small stove on the table, Immediately, a scent of sandalwood wafted from the small heater.

Seeing that Chu Yueyin was sleepy, Moli took the medical kit and got up to leave.She was about to step out of the room when she suddenly stopped, sniffed hard, with a puzzled look on her face.She turned around and looked around, her eyes fixed on a painting hanging on the wall.This painting is colorful and extremely eye-catching. There are many lively and cute fat dolls laughing and playing on it. People can't help but want to touch those dolls.

"This painting, can you take a look at it?" Moli frowned and looked at the painting.

"Yes." Chu Yueyin wondered why Moli suddenly became interested in a painting. Seeing that Moli walked up to the painting and stretched out her plain fingers to gently touch the doll on the painting, she explained, "This The painting is called "Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren", it was given by Mrs. Zhen, and she said it was a good idea, and it could help me to have a prince."

After talking about it, Chu Yueyin couldn't help laughing.Not to mention that there is nothing in her belly, even if there is, it is not a picture that can determine the sex of the fetus.When she first received "The Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren", she felt that the paint on this painting was too bright and she didn't like it very much. back.

"Is Anshen incense also from Mrs. Zhen?" Moli didn't look back, put the finger that touched the painting under her nose and sniffed it.

"No. Once, Mrs. Mei heard from Bengong that she tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep soundly. She suggested that Bengong light some tranquilizing incense, saying that it would help sleep. So Bengong asked Zixia to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some back."

Mo Li turned her head and continued to ask: "When Mrs. Mei proposed, was this painting already hanging in the bedroom?"

Chu Yueyin tried hard to think about it, and said, "Mrs. Zhen sent the painting first, and after a few days, Mrs. Mei suggested it."

"Does Madam Mei know about Madam Zhen's gift of paintings?"

"Mrs. Zhen sent the painting in front of all the concubines, and Mrs. Mei was there, so she naturally knew about it." At this time, no matter how dull Chu Yueyin was, she understood the meaning of Moli's words, "This Is there something wrong with the painting? And this tranquilizing incense, is it also poisonous?"

Moli nodded, lowered her voice and said: "The paint used in "The Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren" is very special. It is not produced in the country, but from the Nine Dragon Mountains at the junction of Yue State and Chen State. It is ground with colored ores in the Nine Dragon Mountains. After it is powdered, it is made by mixing a highly poisonous fruit juice called Hongmei. The color is extremely bright and the toxicity is extremely strong. According to medical records, this poison is originally tasteless. If it is taken directly, it will soon become poisonous. If the pigment is made like this, let it volatilize slowly, the effect will be much slower. If a person inhales this kind of poison, there will be no symptoms at first, but as time goes on, he will become mentally exhausted, his pulse will become heavier and heavier, and his body will become weaker. Weaker."

"What if a pregnant person inhales this poison?" Chu Yue blurted out and asked with a shudder.

Mo Liyan uttered two words in a simple and startling manner: "Tire slippery."

Chu Yueyin was startled, seeing Moli speechless.

"If the Empress hadn't lighted the tranquilizing incense, Moli wouldn't have noticed this painting, so I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble to find out what kind of poison the empress is in." Moli looked shocked and puzzled. Chu Yueyin explained, "Although Anshenxiang can speed up the volatilization of Hongmei's poison, it also has a weakness, that is, Hongmei mixed with Anshenxiang is no longer tasteless, but has a very light smell, but Ordinary people can't smell it, even if they smell it, they may not know it's poison."

Chu Yueyin asked eagerly: "Is there a cure for this poison?"

Moli smiled lightly, "Don't worry, empress, since you have found that Hongmei is the one in your empress, you just need to send someone to the Jiulong Mountains to pick the flowers of Yao hibiscus, boil them into soup and drink them, and then you can take them off your empress immediately." poison."

At this point, things are clear.Mrs. Zhen was afraid that once Chu Yueyin gave birth to a prince, she would be more favored, and the unloved concubine would have no status in front of Yu Wenhua, so she painted the "Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren" painted with highly poisonous paint. "Give it to Chu Yueyin, causing her to be poisoned unknowingly, so that she slipped a tire and even lost her life.As for whether Mrs. May did it on purpose or not, it is not known.

After Moli left, Chu Yueyin asked Beimingyu to go to Aunt Xinyi to get the brochures of treasures bestowed by the emperor in recent years. Beimingyu's eyes lit up and she went there in a good mood.

Chu Yueyin extinguished the tranquilizing incense, opened all the doors and windows, and stared at "The Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren" for a long time.

"Miss, why did you open the door and the window?" Yinqiao came in with a pot of fragrant tea, looked around, "Daughter Moli has gone back?"

"Going back. Why did you go so long to make some tea?" Chu Yueyin asked casually, and continued to stare intently at the "Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren", thinking about the next step.

Yin Qiao blushed suddenly, "It just so happened that Li Yu came to look for the servant girl, so he brought tea over late."

"En." Chu Yueyin focused all her attention on the painting, not caring who Li Yu Yinqiao was talking about at all.She looked at it for a while, and said to Yin Qiao, "Hang this painting in the front hall, on... the west wall."

Yinqiao was a little stunned, but she still went to bring the brocade stool over, stood on it and took the painting off the wall.

"Miss, do you really want to go to the front hall?"

Chu Yueyin smiled and said, "Yinqiao, do you think it's strange why this Palace hangs the "Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren" that should be hung in the bedroom in the front hall where the concubines are received?"

Yinqiao thought for a while, and suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.

Chu Yueyin shook her head, "It's not what you think. I have ulterior motives, you just do it."

"Yes." Yinqiao took the drawing and drew the bedroom hall.

Chu Yueyin picked up the fragrant tea that Yinqiao sent, poured it and drank it by herself.Mrs. Zhen came secretly, but she wanted to scare the snake, making Mrs. Zhen jump over the wall in a hurry, and jumped out by herself.

The next day, Chu Yueyin deliberately waited for all the concubines to arrive, so Fang slowly came to the back door of the front hall and stood quietly, waiting.

According to Chu Yueyin's previous order, the palace people added two silver charcoal stoves in the front hall, baking the whole hall very warmly, the temperature was even a bit too high.

Concubine Li Xian and the three wives waited for a long time, but the queen did not arrive, and they were sweating a little from the heat of the fire, and felt a little irritable.

Concubine Lixian loosened her collar, and when she looked up, she was attracted by a painting on the opposite wall, and said in surprise, "Hey, isn't this "The Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren"? Why is it hanging here?"

Hearing what Concubine Lixian said, Mrs. Zhen beside her suddenly raised her head and looked over, her expression changed drastically.Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Mei sat across from each other, and they also turned their heads to look at the "Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren" on the wall.

At this moment, Chu Yueyin walked into the front hall following Concubine Li Xian's voice, saw the expression on Madam Zhen's face clearly, and secretly sneered in her heart, no matter how cunning a fox is, she would show her feet.

"I think it's very appropriate to hang this picture of "Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren" here." Chu Yueyin said while sitting down on the main seat above.

Concubine Li Xian hurriedly led the three wives over to salute, and sat back in their respective seats.

"Empress, hasn't the "Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren" been hung in the sleeping hall? Why is it hanging in the front hall today?" Mrs. Liang asked the question.

When Mrs. Zhen presented the "Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren", Mrs. Liang was envious for a while and asked Mrs. Zhen for a painting. Unfortunately, Mrs. Zhen rejected Mrs. Liang on the grounds that the artist had left the capital.

Chu Yueyin intentionally glanced at Mrs. Zhen, "I think that 'a single flower is not spring, but a garden full of flowers is spring'. The emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, and he still has no children. It is inevitable that he has regrets. Although I have already conceived a dragon descendant for the emperor, all sisters should not slack off because of this. You should work hard to take care of your body and give birth to more princes and princesses for the emperor. I will hang up this "Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren" The purpose of being in the front hall is to let you all receive its favor and conceive the emperor's heir as soon as possible."

"Empress Empress..." Mrs. Liang's eyes flickered, as if she was moved by Chu Yueyin's words.She is Yuwen Huana's first concubine, she has been in the palace for the longest time, and she is also the one who most desires to conceive a child, but unfortunately she always fails to do so.After hearing Chu Yueyin's words, hope was rekindled in her heart.

Chu Yueyin smiled at Mrs. Liang, but the corners of her eyes fell on Mrs. Zhen. Seeing Mrs. Zhen quietly exchanged glances with Concubine Lixian, she couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Mrs. Zhen stood up and gave a salute, "It's really a blessing for the concubines and concubines to be so sympathetic to the empress. However, the concubines have heard that this "Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren" is the best to hang in the bedroom. I thought it would be better for the Empress to hang this painting back in her bedroom. I heard that the painter had returned to the capital recently, so I asked my father to ask for a few more "Pictures of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren" to give to all the sisters."

Mrs. Liang showed a look of joy.However, Chu Yueyin's face turned cold, and he said indifferently: "If you paint a few more pictures of "The Picture of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandchildren", it will be just a sham, and the effect will be greatly reduced. According to what I see, it is best to hang this painting in the front hall , you can see it every day when you come to pay your respects.”

The concubines heard what Chu Yueyin was saying, and they probably felt that if every palace hung the same "Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren", the painting would not be expensive.

Mrs. Zhen had no choice but to say embarrassingly: "It's my concubine who didn't think well, please forgive me, empress!"

Chu Yueyin looked at Mrs. Zhen meaningfully, "I don't blame you, on the contrary, I would like to thank you for sending such a good painting to me."

Madam Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition floated in her heart.
