Princess [rebirth]

Dou Chun had to wonder whether Ye Zhaoyuan had something to rely on, that's why he dared to make a fuss. He didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ordered Youfu to go to Youshou to find out.Youshou was usually responsible for keeping an eye on the saint's harem for him, but Ye Zhaoyuan made such a big noise today, but Youshou didn't report it in advance, which made Dou Chun very dissatisfied.If possible, he would like to summon Youshou directly, but he is not in his East Palace now, but in the Liangyi Hall of the saint, so he can only proceed with caution.

Youfu came back very quickly, walked quickly to Dou Chun's side, and said softly: "Your Highness, Ye Zhaoyuan has been poisoned, and the situation seems to be not very good. The empress is still in the Lizheng Hall, and the concubine Shu and the concubine De have arrived at Wanfeng Pavilion .” You Fu explained the matter clearly in twos and twos.

"Why didn't Youshou report it in advance when such a big event happened?" Dou Chun's heart trembled. The poisoning of the concubine can be big or small, but now the poisoned one is Ye Zhaoyuan, who has been favored for a while. I'm afraid the saint won't take it lightly. Let it go.

"Returning to Your Highness, You Shou was trying to find a way to pass the news in. He had found some clues earlier, so he delayed the time to report." You Fu said softly.

"What did he find out?" Seeing Youfu's serious face, Dou Chun suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and sure enough, he heard Youfu continue: "Return to Your Highness, the clue indicates that the person who poisoned...may be the empress."

Dou Chun was startled, stood up abruptly, and asked sharply: "Is this true? How did Youshou say it? What clues did he find? How can we be sure...is the mother?"

"Returning to Your Highness, Ye Zhaoyuan took care of her illness last night and did not go to the Lizheng Hall to greet the empress. The empress heard that Ye Zhaoyuan was ill, so she rewarded Ye Zhaoyuan with a bowl of tonic. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhaoyuan's health became worse after drinking the tonic. It is said that the reason why the internal eunuch in charge of Wanfeng Pavilion risked his life to see the saint was because Ye Zhaoyuan vomited blood earlier, she murmured that she wanted to see the saint, and said that someone was trying to harm her." Blessed lowered his voice. Turned up the volume and spoke quickly.

"Absurd! How can the empress do something when she rewards the tonic in full view of the public?" After listening to Dou Chun, he knew that this matter was probably framed by other people. After all, no matter how stupid the empress is, she would not blatantly poison Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the saint would not be taken seriously.

"Returning to Your Highness, Youshou also knew that this matter was strange, so he managed to get the dregs of the bowl of tonic, and then secretly asked Imperial Physician Yan to have a look. The maid hanged herself this morning." You Fu told the clues that You Shou found out one by one.

The tonic is poisonous, and the maid hanged herself. Regardless of whether the queen is innocent or not, these two items alone are enough to prove that the queen is not strict with her orders. The tonic was sent from the Lizheng Hall. Now that something happened to Ye Zhaoyuan, where is the queen Can it be shaken clean?Besides, Concubine Shu and Concubine De have rushed over, and the Empress is still in the Lizheng Hall. With such an attitude, how can she be in charge of Fengyin?

...!Fengyin!Dou Chun was taken aback for a moment, yes, it seems that the person who poisoned him finally calculated the phoenix seal in the queen's hand. If you can't manage your own palace well, how can you talk about taking charge of the entire harem?

"Go, drag the inner prisoner of Wanfeng Pavilion down, don't let him yell outside the study, what kind of place is this, how can he be presumptuous! Also, immediately send someone to the Legislative Hall to pass on my words, just say 'Ye Zhaoyuan is in the middle How can the queen mother stay out of the matter when she is poisoned?'." Dou Chun suppressed the fury in his heart, and ordered repeatedly.

"No." Youfu also knew that this matter was no small matter, so he immediately went to do it after receiving the order.

Dou Chun paced back and forth in the study, thinking that the person who wanted to poison Ye Zhaoyuan would save Ye Zhaoyuan's life, probably just to bite the queen, even if the queen's grievances could be cleared up by then, but this fault of not being strict with the imperial court is a matter of iron nails No matter how much you wipe it, it can't be wiped off.In fact, it doesn't matter whether Ye Zhaoyuan is dead or not. The person who poisoned her has already achieved her goal.

But to be honest, Ye Zhaoyuan who is alive is more useful than dead. After all, dead people can't speak. If a saint wants to pick out the queen, it is not impossible to push out a few palace people to take the blame; but now Ye Zhaoyuan is half dead. After drinking the tonic sent by the queen, it was the queen who wanted to harm her, and firmly held the pot of dirty water on the queen's head. Even a saint would have to work hard to protect the queen.

And Dou Chun is not sure at all whether the saint will protect the queen.

Although for the sake of his crown prince, the sage will not abolish the queen, but the sage can seize the queen's phoenix seal and put the queen under house arrest in the Lizheng Hall as an empty queen. There are countless ways to torture a queen.I'm afraid that the queen has not come to her senses by now, if she annoys the saint again, the poisoning of Ye Zhaoyuan today will be enough to make the saint despise the queen.

The more Dou Chun thought about it, the more upset he became. Although the son never said anything about his father's faults, he felt aggrieved by the presence of such a mother who would always hinder her. Fortunately, his princess was sensible, and it was also fortunate that the sage didn't send Fu Wanqian away. Point out to him to be the princess, otherwise he would have been murdered to death long ago. ...

Even Zhuo Jingfan in the East Palace heard about Ye Zhaoyuan's poisoning.

At that time Zhuo Jingfan was dealing with palace affairs, he saw Chang Lin walking into the main hall quickly, after saluting him, he said hastily, "I report to the princess, I have something important to report." Zhuo Jingfan narrowed his eyes when he heard that In a blink of an eye, she put down the work in hand for the time being, and waved away all the palace people waiting in the hall, leaving only Fu Ling and another palace maid who was personally serving her.

"After all, why are you so flustered?" Zhuo Jingfan asked calmly.

"Princess Concubine, Grandpa Quan from Chongren Hall just came and said that Ye Zhaoyuan from Wanfeng Pavilion in Wutong Hall was poisoned and her life was in danger." Chang Lin replied respectfully.

Zhuo Jingfan sat up straight when he heard it, and then asked, "Apart from these, what else did Youquan say?"

"Return to the crown princess, the whole father has a letter, let the younger one pass it to the crown princess." While talking, Chang Lin took out a letter from his sleeve, and presented it to Zhuo Jingfan respectfully with both hands.

Fu Ling immediately stepped forward to accept the letter, and then respectfully handed it over to Zhuo Jingfan. Zhuo Jingfan opened the letter, shook the letter paper a few times and read the contents. On the case table, his face turned blue with anger, "Stupid! Really stupid!"

This letter was sent by someone sent by Dou Chun. The letter roughly explained the poisoning of Ye Zhaoyuan. At this time, because the sage had not yet come to court, the sage did not know about it. However, the existing evidence and clues were not good for the queen, so Dou Chun wants to invite the princess to visit the Lizheng Palace, and must keep the queen safe, lest the queen make troubles and make things even more out of control.

Although Dou Chun didn't say it clearly, Zhuo Jingfan could see the hint hidden between the lines, the matter of Ye Zhaoyuan's poisoning was probably inseparable from the empress, otherwise why did Dou Chun ask him for help so anxiously?Thinking of this, Zhuo Jingfan's heart suddenly felt angry, even if the queen can't help Dou Chun, don't hold her back like this!

If the queen was really involved in the poisoning incident and it is unclear, what good can Dou Chun get?No matter whether the saint disposes of the queen or not, His Royal Highness will lose face.And if the punishment is light, the other concubines may be dissatisfied; if the punishment is heavy, Dou Chun, as the prince, will inevitably be affected. It can be said that the poisoner set up a perfect game. No matter what the final result is, Donggong will definitely not be able to hide this time. , have to suffer from the disaster.

Seeing that Zhuo Jingfan was very angry, Fu Ling quickly handed him a teacup, letting him drink the tea so that he could relax.Zhuo Jingfan took the teacup, took a few sips, and finally calmed down a little.Zhuo Jingfan knew that the empress was incompetent since the last time he was disgusted with the witchcraft, but now he was planted to poison the concubine. Like a sieve.

Remembering that the empress wanted to send people to the East Palace, Zhuo Jingfan was suddenly very depressed. The empress couldn't manage her own palace well, but she stretched her hands too far. Now that there was such a big mistake, she had to save it by herself.If he were the queen, after this incident, he would be so ashamed that he would hide in the Lizheng Palace and never see anyone again, so as not to make another joke.

As long as the slander is the slander, Zhuo Jingfan still resigned to his fate and got up to go to the Lizheng Palace. Although he wanted to let go of it, not only the queen would be affected by this matter, but Dou Chun would also be implicated. If it wasn't for Dou Chun, He really hoped that the queen would be thrown into the cold palace, so that the queen would not be able to make any troubles again. ...

Wutong Hall and Wanfeng Pavilion

With a pale face, Ye Zhaoyuan lay weakly on the bed, as if she would die at any moment.

There is a palace maid waiting beside the bed, and two palace maids guarding the door. In the main hall of the Indus Hall, there are two beauties in palace costumes wearing colorful dark flowers and brocade. , there are dazzling Bu Yao and golden hairpins on the bun, only one of them has a beautiful appearance, and the other's appearance can only be regarded as above-average.

These two are Concubine Shu and Concubine De.

Concubine Wan was unable to go to bed because she was pregnant, so the beautiful Ye Zhaoyuan and Concubine De fell into the eyes of the saint. Concubine De took advantage of her high status and often deliberately manipulated Ye Zhaoyuan when she was saving time with the queen.Although Ye Zhaoyuan was angered a lot, but she was only one of the nine concubines, Zhaoyuan, how could she fight against the concubine De, one of the four concubines?Therefore, he could only swallow his anger and try his best to avoid Concubine De.

Now that Ye Zhaoyuan has been poisoned, and the situation is very bad, Concubine De is secretly happy, and immediately came to Wutong Hall, but she did not expect that Concubine Shu, who was not very prominent in the past and kept a low profile in everything, was actually better than Concubine Shu. She is still early.And Concubine Shu was not surprised to see Concubine De, Concubine De had always been narrow-minded, she and Ye Zhaoyuan fought for favor some time ago, but now that Ye Zhaoyuan is not well, Concubine De will definitely come to have a look.

"Today is really rare, my sister will come out of Hanliang Hall, it seems that my sister and this Ye Zhaoyuan have a good relationship." Sitting on the seat, Concubine De said with a smile covering her lips.

"Sister, worry too much. I have no friendship with Ye Zhaoyuan. As one of the four concubines, how can I stand by and watch such a big event happen in the palace?" After speaking, Concubine Shu picked up the tea cup and took a shallow sip.

"Sister is right. I wonder if the empress is visiting Ye Zhaoyuan in the cabinet?" Concubine De rolled her eyes and turned to the empress through Concubine Shu's words. She knew that the empress was still in the Lizheng Hall, but The queen is deliberately mentioned here.

Concubine Shu gently put down the teacup, and said flatly: "The empress is busy with palace affairs, and she can't leave for the time being, so she sent me first to condolence to Ye Zhaoyuan." In a few words, she gave an explanation for the empress's absence.

Concubine De curled her lips after hearing this, Concubine Shu still behaved like this, she always put on a look that only the empress would follow her, and she always praised that stupid empress, and she didn't know what the empress had poured into her to make her give up like this Trash.But concubine Shu is not without benefits, at least her concubine position was obtained by the empress from the sage. Thinking of this concubine De, would concubine Shu plan to spend her whole life repaying it just because of this favor?

Concubine Shu naturally ignored Concubine De's disdainful look, she sat down on her seat, holding a cup of tea in her hands, and after an unknown amount of time, she finally heard the inner eunuch of Wutong Hall singing, "The empress is here—" she He let out a sigh of relief and finally came.

Concubine Shu and Concubine De got up and walked to the entrance of the palace, saluted and greeted the queen, the queen called out coldly, and then led a group of palace people directly to Wanfeng Pavilion.Concubine De squinted her eyes, raised her footsteps and followed, Concubine Shu stood behind them, looking at their backs with indistinguishable expressions.

After a while, Concubine Shu sighed softly, and when she raised her foot and was about to follow, a voice came from behind, "Concubine Shu, wait a minute." Concubine Shu's pupils shrank suddenly, her body stiffened, and footsteps came from behind her. , the visitor came to her very quickly, and saw that the other party was wearing a very ordinary maid costume, no different from the rough maids in various palaces.

The palace maid said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in a hurry, if you don't give me an answer, I'm afraid..." Shu Concubine listened to the other party's unfinished threat, clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, The nails almost pierced the palm.
