[Qing Chuan] Jun Guifang has rested

Then bowed his head.

Wei Xunfang naturally hoped that Xu Qiuyan would end badly, but Xu Qiuyan secretly thanked her for assisting her, and admitted: "That's right, this arsenic|scent did come from Imperial Physician Mei, but it was stolen by a servant."

Qianlong pointed at her and asked, "Even if what you said is true, what are your intentions?"

Xu Qiuyan replied: "Actually, it's nothing serious. It's just that the other day I went to the imperial garden to relax with the imperial concubine Xian. A few mice disturbed the empress. The servant girl wanted to get some arsenic from the imperial physician Mei to get rid of the rats, but the imperial physician Mei was cautious. Dare to give it to the servant privately. It happened that he was also going to remove rats at home that day, and he was carrying arsenic on his body, so the servant took some of it. Not done. This morning, Concubine Yu, Lu Changzai, Brother Wu and Mammy Ping all left, and the maid asked Concubine Xian to go back to the palace first, and put the arsenic|shuang into the dim sum by the way. Such a catastrophe. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and all masters!"

Chapter 7

Qianlong was still skeptical, and asked, "Then why didn't you explain earlier, instead of waiting until now?"

Xu Qiuyan said: "At the beginning, the servant felt that something was wrong. If she said it easily, she would definitely shame Concubine Xian. As a slave, it is natural to swear to protect Master Qingyu to the death, so I have to wait until the situation is clear enough before telling the truth. .”

She kept her head slightly lowered, and out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to tremble when she saw Concubine Xian sitting upright.

Concubine Chun said angrily: "This is clearly your excuse for refusing to search the palace!"

She did guess right, Xu Qiuyan still said without arrogance or impetuosity: "What excuse do you need, slave? Now that slave has admitted her mistake, there are all witnesses and evidences for the whole matter, and the cause and effect are clear. The slave doesn't understand, the pure imperial concubine is going to Yi What is Kun Palace looking for? What is there in Yikun Palace, could it be that Concubine Chun knows better than Concubine Xian and slaves?"

Relying on her own guess, she insinuated that Concubine Chun had set up an eyeliner in Yikun Palace in order to set up a frame to frame her, but Concubine Chun's expression changed.

Empress Fucha looked at Qianlong: "Your Majesty, although Ningbi was unintentional, she made fifth elder brother suffer after all. You should punish her."

On the surface, she wanted to punish Xu Qiuyan, but in reality she agreed with Xu Qiuyan and wanted to expose the matter.

This is a muddled account, and Qianlong felt that there was nothing to pursue, so he turned his head and said, "Concubine Yu, tell me."

Concubine Yu was indulging in a kind of vain and sad mood, she was startled when she was called out, she could not make up her mind, Concubine Chun said: "At least one hundred should be blamed!"

Concubine Xian hurriedly said: "Don't talk about a weak woman like Ningbi, even a seven-foot man can't stand this hundred boards. Concubine Yu, you are Yongqi's biological mother, you shouldn't say a word about him." Can't even tell."

Hearing this, Concubine Yu's eyes welled up again, and she lowered her head and said softly, "Just... twenty sticks."

*

All the concubines did not stay any longer, and went out from Changchun Palace together.

Concubine Chun chased after Concubine Qi Xian, and said loudly: "After a while, it turned out to be such a ridiculous thing!"

Concubine Xian smiled and said: "What is ridiculous is not ridiculous, right now the most important thing is to ensure that Fifth Elder Brother is safe and sound."

Concubine Chun sneered, caught a glimpse of Lu Changzai who was next to Concubine Xian, raised her eyebrows and said, "I have long said that she is a vixen, it is true that birds of a feather flock together."

Lu Changzai didn't change his expression, and said with a slight smile: "The pure noble concubine taught me well, presumably this is also the reason why the emperor arranged for concubines to live in Zhongcui Palace."

Concubine Chungui reacted for a while before she woke up and raised her hand to hit her. Concubine Xian was protecting Lu Chang in front of her. Concubine Chun couldn't do anything, and said bitterly: "You wait, go back to Gongbengong to deal with you !"

Concubine Xian smiled: "We have all heard that, if something goes wrong with Lu Chang when he returns to Zhongcui Palace, it will all have to do with Sister Chun."

Concubine Chun saw that she couldn't get a bargain, so she rushed away angrily, Concubine Yu was busy chasing after her, Concubine Xian called her, approached her and whispered: "Sister Concubine Yu, think about it, if the person Ningbi bumped into today is Third elder brother or sixth elder brother, will such a thing happen?"

Concubine Yu shivered, and Concubine Xian patted her hand reassuringly: "I just got Luyuan tea at my palace, if you are free someday, you can come and taste it."

Concubine Yu agreed, and went after saluting.

Lu Chang said with a smile: "The concubine will be free now, and I want to taste the tea from the concubine Xian, I don't know if I have such a good fortune?"

Concubine Xian held her hand: "Naturally."

Ningbi suffered [-] slaps, although it was very painful, it was not as heartbreaking as she imagined. I think Concubine Xian greeted the executioner in advance.

She stood up tremblingly, and the two young eunuchs A Fu and A Lu of Yikun Palace hurried over to help her.

Both of them are Jiang Shengzhong's apprentices, A Fu looked more dull, while A Lu was more clever, and smiled at her: "The master sent us to pick up Miss Ningbi early in the morning, and specially ordered Qi Zhao to cook nourishing rice for her." Chicken soup, the girl is resolute and upright, this is the reward of suffering."

He has served Concubine Xian for many years, and he knows Concubine Xian's character very well. He probably knows that Concubine Xian was murdered, and Ning Bi took the blame for her. There is a bit of sincerity in this flattery. With a smile on his face, he said, "Thank you."

Xu Qiuyan was afraid of hurting her wound, so she didn't dare to walk too fast. When she returned to Yikun Palace, it was already late at night, and the palace waited.

"Are you back?" Hearing the noise, Concubine Xian hurried over.

In this season of cold spring, Concubine Xian just came out of the warm room, her body breath was extraordinarily warm, making Xu Qiuyan's cheeks flushed.

"What's the matter, have a fever?" Concubine Xian held her with her own hands, eagerly touching her forehead.

"No, it doesn't matter."

Xu Qiuyan looked back, and felt that Concubine Xian seemed to have some emotions in her eyes, and she couldn't explain clearly, but it just made her a little bit at a loss.

Concubine Xian helped Xu Qiuyan to her bed, and wanted to give her medicine herself, but Xu Qiuyan hurriedly tried to hide: "No, your mother is so precious, how can you work hard for a slave?"

Although they were both women, Xu Qiuyan was so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground when she imagined that Concubine Xian would yào her ass.

Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Do you want me to send you an imperial physician?"

"I can't, I can't," Xu Qiuyan waved her hands again and again, "The imperial physicians are all men... just let Qizhao help me, and the empress doesn't have to worry about it herself."

Concubine Xian said: "Qi Zhao is busy preparing dinner."

Xu Qiuyan was about to say that Concubine Xian had already taken off her clothes lightly.Xu Qiuyan's face became hot, and she buried her head in the pillow.

Concubine Xian's movements were very gentle and careful, but Xu Qiuyan still trembled in pain when she encountered a deep wound.

Concubine Xian quickly withdrew her hand: "Is the pain severe?"

Xu Qiuyan gritted her teeth and shook her head.

"It's hard for you, just bear with it." Concubine Xian dipped in some yào ointment and applied it lightly. Xu Qiuyan gritted her teeth and endured it, motionless.

Concubine Xian asked her to rest for a while, and brought chicken soup to feed her, but Xu Qiuyan refused, so she drank it down the porcelain spoon.

Concubine Xian took care of people meticulously, and Xu Qiuyan felt like a spring breeze, and couldn't bear to disturb the situation with her mouth.

After a bowl of chicken soup, Xu Qiuyan felt very full and much warmer. Concubine Xian helped her wipe the corners of her mouth, held her hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

Her eyes were particularly shining in the dim light, Xu Qiuyan's heart trembled when she saw it, and she said earnestly: "It is the job of a servant to protect the Lord."

Concubine Xian smiled lightly, lifted the side of the bed against the wall, and took out a white puppet covered with fine needles.

Xu Qiuyan widened her eyes and said, "Is this... the technique of disgusting victory?"

When she looked carefully, she saw that the puppet was covered in snow, with the birth date written in red letters on its belly, and a pair of round eyes, dark and eerie, even though she had guessed it long ago, her heart was still pounding like a drum.

Concubine Xian pulled out the needle, threw the puppet into the charcoal basin, and said: "The horoscope written on it is Yongqi's horoscope. If you don't stop us today, the emperor will search the palace according to Concubine Chun's will. Can't argue with a hundred mouths."

"Is it... an inside thief?"

Concubine Xian has always been cautious, but after the incident with Concubine Huixian, she became even more cautious. There were only two maids and three eunuchs in Yikun Palace, except for Xu Qiuyan, they were all the people that Concubine Xian had trusted for a long time.However, needles are the easiest to hide in Mianli, and the more you trust the person, the easier it is to harm you.

Concubine Xian nodded, her expression seemed to know who did it, and she had already thought of a countermeasure.

Xu Qiuyan thought back to the few days when they came to Yikun Palace, they would gather together to talk and laugh when they had free time, although they were not in love with Jin Jian, they got along very well.

Everyone is talking and laughing so enthusiastically, but for some reason, someone has secretly stabbed a sharp knife that kills people without blood. No matter who that person is, it is enough to make people frightened.

The flames in the charcoal basin were burning and dancing, and the flames licked the puppet into ruined ashes.Xu Qiuyan stared at the blazing red ball for a moment, her eyes hurt.

The next day, Concubine Shu arrived at Yikun Palace early in the morning.

At that time, Concubine Xian was giving medicine to Xu Qiuyan, when she heard the sound, Concubine Xian hurriedly got off the bed curtain, and wanted to go outside to talk with Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu lifted the curtain without hesitation, jokingly said: "What are you afraid of, you What's hiding something out of sight?"

But when she first saw it, she was dumbfounded: Xu Qiuyan hadn't put on any clothes yet, her upper body was only wearing a bellyband, black hair was scattered scattered on her slippery back, and the wound that had just been smeared with medicine was completely exposed.

Concubine Shu quickly turned her eyes away: "It turns out that my sister still hides a beauty in the hibiscus tent, I'm offended."

Concubine Xian covered Xu Qiuyan with a small blanket, lowered the curtain again, and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You are always so crazy."

"I know I was wrong," Concubine Shu took Concubine Xian's arm and went out, "I heard that something big happened yesterday, please tell me about it."

Concubine Xian blamed her and said: "I didn't see you when the accident happened, why did you come here to listen to the excitement? If it wasn't for going to Chuxiu Palace to satisfy your greed, you wouldn't have been able to get out of these troubles."

Concubine Shu didn't know the inside story, and she also heard about the general situation from Concubine Jia, knowing that a large part of this matter was caused by herself, she felt a little guilty, and said in a low voice: "Sister, I didn't mean it, I... ran out of the palace secretly yesterday , couldn’t make it over.”

"Bullshit!"

Concubine Xian knew that she was wild, and thought that she was just hiding in a quiet and uncrowded place in the palace to catch fish and catch birds, but she didn't expect that she had secretly stayed outside the palace for so long.

She wanted to speak again, but was interrupted directly by Concubine Shu: "I know what you want to say, it's just to teach me not to be self-willed again, now I am the emperor's concubine, and I am no longer the star-studded lady of the Nalan family. "

Concubine Xian became even more annoyed: "Then you committed the crime knowingly! Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"Didn't they not be discovered?" Shu Pin was still stubborn, "Besides, the emperor has never called me to sleep with me, so maybe he doesn't remember me at all, and it won't matter if I'm idle."

Concubine Xian took a sip of tea and calmed down a little: "With the family background of the Nalan clan, it will be a matter of time before you become favored. Don't think so."

Concubine Shu didn't want to make her angry anymore, so she laughed and said: "Okay, good, my concubine would like to follow the teachings of the concubine Xian, and will definitely abide by her duties and live up to the instructions of the concubine Xian."

Concubine Xian pinched her face and smiled helplessly.

Concubine Shu's maid, Lian Xiao, also laughed out loud. Concubine Xian glanced at her, saw the emerald green step pinned in her hair, smiled, and said, "Your step is... Yuan'er, a maid Dai This hair accessory is too ostentatious, you should pay attention to it."

Concubine Shu didn't know anything about jewellery, so she turned her head to look at Lian Xiao, and nodded with a vague understanding.

The two drank tea, and Concubine Xian gave her a general account of the matter.Concubine Shu was very angry when she heard this, and said, "It's unreasonable! You can't just let them go like this!"

Chapter 8 Hunting

"Keep your voice down."

She suddenly yelled, and Concubine Xian was so frightened that she almost knocked over the teacup.

"Hmph," Shu Pin took a deep breath, "Sister, you won't be so reckless as a Bodhisattva again, just sit back and ignore it?"

Concubine Xian took a sip of tea slowly, shook her head and said, "How old is she, but still so impatient. When the time comes, things will happen naturally."

Concubine Shu pursed her lips: "You are so grown up, you still keep talking."

Concubine Xian smiled, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, you haven't eaten the snacks made for you until now, do you want to try some today?"

Concubine Shu was naturally still dissatisfied in every possible way, but a good guy doesn't suffer from immediate losses, so she decided to have a full meal before talking about it.

It was getting dark early at this time, and Concubine Shu had another lunch in Yikun Palace, feeling that the sky was getting dark after sitting for a while.

Concubine Shu was about to go back to the palace when Wei Xunfang and Qin Jinde from Chunguifei Palace asked to see her.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu looked at each other, the people around Concubine Chun must have nothing good to do, and they have to entertain them.

As soon as Wei Xunfang entered the room, he smiled like a flower, and after a few polite words, he got to the point: "After returning to the palace yesterday, the pure noble concubine thought about it for a long time, and felt that there was still some doubt about the fifth elder brother, but it's not easy to pursue it after the matter is over. But the pure noble concubine wants to confirm one thing, that is, there are indeed mice in the imperial garden."

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows: "It's not easy to see mice, just send someone to catch a few, why send you all?"

Wei Xunfang said with a smile: "Ms. Concubine Shu doesn't know something, and Mrs. Chungui concubine specifically explained that Miss Ningbi said that she saw a mouse in the imperial garden, so I have to trouble her to catch it herself."

All she said was to embarrass Xu Qiuyan.Not to mention how they called Xu Qiuyan to manipulate her, Xu Qiuyan was just a teenage girl, and it was very dangerous to go out at night.

Concubine Xian said: "Ningbi used arsenic because she was afraid that I would be frightened. Besides, Ningbi's injuries are still serious, so she can't go with the girl."

"Sister, don't waste your time talking with her," Concubine Shu looked at Wei Xunfang, "Where did you come from, Yikun Palace has no place to entertain you."

Wei Xunfang's complexion changed, and he argued with Concubine Shu again.

Concubine Xian's brows moved slightly, she whispered something to Lianxiao, Lianxiao nodded and said: "Miss Xunfang, I have seen the rat nest in the imperial garden, how about I accompany you to see it?"

Hearing this, Shu Concubine looked back at her, then at Concubine Xian, several people exchanged glances, Shu Concubine showed a bright smirk: "I'm going too." After saying that, without waiting for Wei Xunfang's reaction, he pushed her out the door .

Concubine Chun was emotionally unstable during her pregnancy, and she couldn't make any big moves. With Wei Xunfang's urging, she wanted to make things difficult for Xu Qiuyan to vent her anger. She expected that Concubine Xian would calm things down, and even if she didn't, it would be better to find something awkward for her.

However, Wei Xunfang did not expect to meet Shu Concubine, who was a stubborn stubble, even though Shu Concubine had not won the title of Emperor
