Queen's scheming

Chapter 107 Medicine

"What's going on? The fish soup that my concubine asked for has not been served after so long?" Shen Qingwan said a little annoyed.

Since Shen Qingwan became pregnant, she has been eating continuously. Unlike other people who are pregnant, her pregnancy reaction is extremely small, and she always has an appetite for everything. She always eats six or seven times a day. Just now she suddenly remembered fish soup It was delicious, so I immediately ordered someone to arrange it in the small kitchen, but it has been more than half an hour, and it has not been delivered yet.Shen Yeshi specially found this cook for her. She has excellent cooking skills and the most important thing is that she is fast enough. What happened today?
Yumei put down the jade stone that rolled Shen Qingwan's face, blessed her body and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to take a look at it?"

"Go, go, does this mother Zheng don't want to do it anymore? How dare you delay my concubine's food like this!" Shen Qingwan said impatiently.The feeling of emptiness in her abdomen made her very upset and irritable. This pregnant body is really different from the other day.Now she is very annoyed whenever she hears a little bit of noise, and if she feels a little hungry, she can't sit still on the imperial concubine's bed.

Yumei hurried to the small kitchen.In less than a quarter of an hour, Yumei lifted the curtain and entered, and the huge pale pink curtain of east beads was lifted with a crackling sound.Yumei held a small black lacquered and silver tea tray in one hand, and grabbed Nanny Zheng's collar with the other, and said anxiously: "Madam, it's thanks to the servant who went to the small kitchen to see, otherwise your body may be confuse by this picker." Your slaves have been ruined!"

Shen Qingwan was startled and immediately asked, "What's going on?"

Yumei pushed Madam Zheng onto the blue-gray velvet blanket, knelt down, raised the small black lacquered tea tray high up, and said, "I am ordering you to go to the small kitchen to check the fish soup. Is it ready? Who knows that as soon as I entered the small kitchen, I found that the surrounding area was very quiet. The servants paid special attention and looked out of the window quietly. Who knew, they saw Mother Zheng dismissing everyone in the small kitchen. I am adding something to this fish soup!"

Shen Qingwan glanced at Zheng Nanny's eyes, like ice in the twelfth lunar month, and said angrily: "There is such a thing! Zheng Nanny, don't you want your old man's life?" Shen Ye sent it to Shen Qingwan. Man, I must have made all the preparations. The husband of Madam Zheng is currently working as a rough envoy in Duke Feng's mansion. Once Madam Zheng is unfaithful to Shen Qingwan, her old man's life will be lost. It is Shen Ye's usual trick.

At this moment, Madam Zheng was trembling like sifting chaff, with snot and tears all over the blanket, crying, "I didn't do it on purpose, I was threatened by others to do this!"

"Whoever threatens you, don't hesitate to recruit!" Shen Qingwan had long wanted to take advantage of her pregnancy to pull Concubine Xue, Concubine Duanjing, and Concubine Shen Qingyi down, but she had never found an opportunity, and now the opportunity finally arrived. She came forward, as long as there was evidence to prove that it was one of the three of them who poisoned her, she would at least want that person to be thrown into limbo.

Madam Zheng cried, "Your servant doesn't know!"

"I don't know?" Yumei glanced at the fish soup and said, "Then what did you put in this fish soup?"

"I don't even know, servant girl!" Madam Zheng was crying so hard at the moment, she was provoking someone, why did she have such a bad luck.

"I don't know yet, do you?" Yumei looked at Shen Qingwan, and seeing Shen Qingwan nodded to her, she immediately took out the sewing bag from the armhole, grabbed it in her hand, and stabbed it towards Madam Zheng, Madam Zheng Immediately yelled "Aw".

Yumei raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you know now?"

Madam Zheng almost fell to the ground, crying and shouting: "Miss Yumei, I really don't know! Someone put a letter outside the door of this servant's room. There is nothing else in the letter, only the letter of the youngest son of this servant." A bunch of hair and this bag of medicine, it is written in the letter that the servant should put this medicine in the mother's food, there is nothing the servant can do!"

"You still have a son?" Shen Qingwan frowned, staring at Madam Zheng.

Madam Zheng was afraid that Yumei's sewing kit would be tied down again, sobbing, she said, "This servant and the head of the family have an old man who has been fostered by a distant relative of this servant. Later, the wife came to buy someone. I became a slave, so I kept it secret. But I don’t know how the man found my youngest son. The ribbon with the lock of hair was bought for him when I went out of the palace last time. I only have such a son. , the servant has no choice but to ask your mother to give the servant a way to survive!"

Yumei pricked it a few more times, raised her eyebrows and said, "You actually want to deceive your mother, it's already this time, and you want to hide it for others, do you want to say it or not!"

Nanny Zheng yelled a few times, crying all day long, Shen Qingwan got impatient with the noise, and said angrily: "What kind of bastard dares to howl in front of this concubine, Yumei, deal with it, make her spit it out!" How dare you poison my concubine's fish soup!"

Yumei dragged Madam Zheng to go down, Shen Qingwan pointed to the bowl of fish soup and said, "By the way, check, what's in it?"

After an hour, Yumei just entered the hall to reply, saying: "Your Majesty, it seems that Madam Zheng really doesn't know anything, the servant has used the whip and the tongs, but she still yells that she doesn't know, then The thing in the fish soup has been found out, it is an abortion drug, and the medicine is extremely powerful, it seems that the man is full of energy and wants to move the empress's body!"

"This old bastard! This concubine should tear her apart! This matter must be the empress, Concubine Duanjing and Concubine Xue, one of the three of them, the others are not so capable!" Shen Qingwan Tapping the small table next to him with his fingers, he said.

Yumei thought for a while and said, "Mother, should we let Madam Zheng kill someone? Anyway, now that there are all witnesses and evidence, they can't admit it even if they want to!"

Pull one of them down?Shen Qingwan did have this intention.But who was killed?
"This concubine really wants to use this person as evidence to prove Shen Qingyi, but she is afraid that the emperor will not agree. Don't say anything that is hard evidence. Even if Shen Qingyi really made a move, the emperor will not allow this concubine to trouble Shen Qingyi. . Or else Concubine Xue!" What Shen Qingwan most wanted to touch was Shen Qingyi, but she couldn't move Shen Qingyi, so she had to settle for the next best thing.

Yumei smiled and said: "Concubine Xue is fine. When Concubine Xue is sent to the cold palace by empress, the only ones who can compete with empress in this palace are the empress and noble concubine Duanjing."

"Wait! Concubine Duanjing! My concubine's decree to be promoted to imperial concubine will be announced in the sixth palace tomorrow. At that time, Concubine Xue will be three levels lower than my concubine. Forgive her for not being able to make any waves. Concubine Duanjing, I am Although the concubine's status is higher than hers, she has the right to assist the six palaces. To put it bluntly, this concubine is still inferior to her, so it's better to defeat her first! Concubine Xue's scheming means, to deal with her, still use Don't be so troublesome!" Shen Qingwan remarked after hearing Yumei's words.

Yumei smiled secretly, and replied respectfully: "I will follow your mother's instructions, and I will go to confess to Madam Zheng in a while!"

"Your Majesty, Madam Zheng is not in the small kitchen. Look, do you want Madam to pick another person to come into the palace? It's just that you have to teach the palace rules and ensure that she will not betray your Majesty. Madam must choose someone well this time. Don't be like Madam Zheng, the servants can guard against it once, but they won't be so lucky next time." Yumei said fortunately.

Shen Qingwan glanced at Yumei, she is very obedient these days, if she really had two hearts for her, and she didn't tell herself just now, she would have used that fish soup, so she drooped her eyebrows and said: "Forget it, Anyway, this concubine is not allowed to go in and out freely now, there are always various things that hinder her, and you don't need to be there to serve her all the time, just watch in the small kitchen, and when this concubine is about to leave the Purple Palace, You just follow along!"
