concubine queen

Chapter 103

Xu Desheng sighed inwardly, it seems that in the Emperor's heart, that Master Jieyu has occupied a lot of positions, since Master Jieyu left, the Emperor has rarely stayed in any concubine's palace, and the love for Zhou Liwei , It was just on the surface, the emperor was paralyzing Zhou Taiwei, making Zhou Taiwei think that his daughter was very favored.That Zhou Liwei was really stupid, thinking that the emperor really liked her, but she was just a pawn.

Xu Desheng walked out of the imperial dining room with a sign in his hand. When he raised his head, he was attracted by the moonlight. Today's moon is very round, but it is cold when it shines on the glazed bird on the roof of the palace. Xu Desheng shook his head. He is already a few dozen years old. After staying in the palace for decades, how could he feel sad because of these things? Thinking of this, Xu Desheng stopped looking at the moon and went to the House of Internal Affairs.

Several guards in the House of Internal Affairs were seriously waiting for Xu Desheng to come. Because of their negligence, the prisoner had already been killed, so they did not dare to relax at this time.

After entering the House of Internal Affairs, Xu Desheng looked serious, ignored the salutes of several people, and asked the leader directly.

"The news hasn't been revealed yet, has it?"

The guard who took the lead nodded and bowed, "Back to Eunuch Xu, as soon as the incident happened, the slave asked someone to report it, but it hasn't been reported yet."

Xu Desheng nodded, and then said, "The man's body will be collected first and placed in the morgue of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As for you guys, you will be punished if you don't do enough to guard the prisoner. The manager will fine you half a year's salary." , don’t relax any more in the future!”

Several guards looked at Xu Desheng gratefully. They thought that the crime of beheading was now only punished with salary. How could they be unhappy and grateful.

"Slaves, thank you, Eunuch Xu, for your kindness." The leader said something, and the others behind him also began to echo.

Xu Desheng waved his hand, "All right, all right, let's go to work."

A few people nodded, and went to inspect and guard seriously.

The sun shines on the earth in the morning, and the light is brilliant.

Li Yifei wandered around the Qianque Palace for a long time, and finally saw the blue figure approaching.

"My maidservant greets Lord Li." Seeing Li Yifei, Qingliu bowed first.

"Get up, I'm here today to tell you, don't worry about Bi He, she'll be fine, and don't worry about Feng Xi, she'll be fine."

Originally, Qingliu, who had been in a bad mood for the past few days because of Bihe's arrest, was relieved for a long time after hearing Li Yifei's words, only to realize what Li Yifei meant, that is, both master and Bihe will be fine!
"Is what Master Li said true?" Qing Liu asked in disbelief.

Li Yifei smiled gently, "Really, you just go back to Qianque Palace and just stabilize the minds of the people in the palace."

Qingliu nodded excitedly, then bowed her knees, "The servant girl will leave first."

Li Yifei responded, indeed, he should not talk to him much in the palace, otherwise he would be suspected.

In fact, he also thought that something would happen to Feng Xi, but after analyzing it with his father, and Zhou Liwei was also arrested and sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there is no need to worry. This is probably a bureau set up by the emperor to kill people with a knife.Judging from how much the emperor loves Feng Xi, it is impossible to arrest people in Feng Xi Palace so easily, there is only one possibility, that is, he has a plan.

Thinking of this, Li Yifei couldn't help admiring Yu Mingqian's scheming, thinking that Taiwei Zhou might have been very happy before, but he couldn't laugh now.Zhou Taiwei sent someone to murder Feng Xi, which was an unforgivable crime, so he would be happy to see Zhou Taiwei dealt with.

After tidying up his sleeves, Li Yifei strode away from Qianque Palace.

In the incomparably luxurious room, there was a utter silence. There was a little boy lying on the bed. It was the eldest prince Yu Siwen.Yu Siwen has been ill for two months, and has been in a coma like this. The imperial doctors tried their best but could barely hang their lives, but they couldn't think of a good way to cure him.

Concubine Cheng has been by Yu Siwen's side all the time, watching her beloved son suffering from illness, she is anxious in her eyes, and even wants to kill the poisoner.

"Your Majesty, you should eat some porridge. You haven't eaten much in these days. If you continue like this, your body will collapse."

Chunxian held a bowl of porridge in her hand, and persuaded Concubine Cheng earnestly.It's a pity that Concubine Cheng is now so preoccupied with getting Yu Siwen's illness cured quickly that she can't eat at all, and doesn't pay attention to Chunxian's persuasion.

Chunxian sighed and was about to take the porridge back.

"Chunxian, wait a minute." Concubine Cheng said, her voice was already a little hoarse.

Chunxian turned around, her tone agitated, "Master, do you want some porridge?"

Concubine Cheng shook her head, "No, I want to ask you, you said that Zhou Liwei was imprisoned in the House of Internal Affairs?"

Chunxian was puzzled, that day she thought that the master would be very excited, because it was said that the medicine that poisoned the eldest prince was found from the beauty's palace that day, but she didn't want to beat the master and ignore her, why did the master suddenly ask today.

"Yes, master, Eunuch Xu found the package of medicine that poisoned the eldest prince from Meiren Zhou's palace, and has locked Meiren Zhou in the House of Internal Affairs for several days."

When Concubine Cheng heard the words "poison the eldest prince", she stood up.

"What are you talking about! Zhou Liwei actually poisoned the eldest prince of the palace!"

Chunxian was startled by the master's sudden voice, and immediately knelt down.

"Master, please calm down. Eunuch Xu has already brought Zhou Meiren into the House of Internal Affairs for interrogation. I think the results will come out within a few days."

Previously, Concubine Cheng took care of Yu Siwen and didn't eat for a long time, so she didn't pay attention to all the words Chunxian said, but today she suddenly remembered it in her mind, so she was a little excited for a while.As soon as Jing Chunxian reminded her, Concubine Cheng calmed down a little and sat down, but her eyes were full of hatred.

"I already knew that Zhou Liwei wasn't some cheap role. It's been a long time since I was promoted to beauty, and I can't hold back anymore. No, counting it, she actually started planning to poison the eldest prince of the palace two months ago. What a bold person, do you really think that with the backing of her father, you will have no scruples?"

Chunxian got up and stood next to Concubine Cheng, a little puzzled, "Master, why didn't you suspect that Li Jieyu did it when you caught Bihe?"

Concubine Cheng stared, "With Li Fengxi's status, she can't afford to attack the eldest prince of the palace. She spends all her time protecting the child in her stomach, so she has no time to think about how to poison Wen'er. Besides, Li Fengxi He is smart and knows what to do and what not to do, the Eldest Prince is of royal blood, if any clues are found, even if someone takes the blame, the Emperor will not show mercy if he finds out."

Concubine Cheng said categorically, she believed that Li Fengxi was an opponent who could stand on the same level as her, so she would not do such a stupid thing.

After listening to the master's words, Chunxian nodded with a vague understanding.

"Chunxian, pay close attention to the news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and report anything about Zhou Liwei to me!"

Chunxian nodded seriously, she would not dare to neglect matters related to the little master.

The Luo's Medical Center in Sanyi Town has recruited a new doctor. It is said that he wears half a mask all day long and has excellent medical skills. People like to ask him for pulse diagnosis.

This doctor is Yi Cheng, who has had his pulse in Luo's Medical Center for nearly two months.

"Old man, your prescription is ready, follow my prescription, and you will be cured after three meals." Yi Cheng, who was wearing a mask, looked warmly.

The old man took the prescription with a smile, "Thank you, Doctor Yi."

Yi Cheng smiled, and watched the old man go to grab the medicine. Seeing that there was no one else, he picked up many prescriptions at hand and began to study them.

Suddenly aware of someone in front of her, she raised her head and saw that it was Duanmu Yingluo. She was wearing a neat short robe and skirt today, looking refreshed.

"Hello shopkeeper." Yi Cheng's voice was as cold as ever.

Duanmu Yingluo looked at him with a smile, "Doctor Yi, do you have time to go shopping with me today?"

Yi Cheng was helpless, and he didn't know what Duanmu Yingluo had taken a fancy to him, and kept pestering him all the time. However, he wanted to ask her some questions, so he might as well go for a walk.

"Okay, there are no patients today anyway."

Seeing that Yi Cheng finally agreed, Duanmu Yingluo was very happy. She had a cold temper and was very smart since she was a child. Except for the elders in her family, her brother and Li Fengxi, there were very few people who could make her speak willingly.But that day when she saw Yi Cheng for the first time, she couldn't let go. Although his temper was colder than hers, she just wanted to get close.

"That's great! Let's go now!" Duanmu Yingluo was rarely so excited and happy.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Peng, the steward of the hospital, became worried for Duanmu Yingluo. He is a person who has experienced it, so he can naturally tell whether a man really likes a woman. Although Yi Cheng smiled on his face, his gaze He has always been cold and emotionless, and he agreed to go out with his master today, probably because he wanted something.The steward shook his head, it's better not to remind the master, then Yi Cheng doesn't seem like a bad person, the master will grow up after going through some things, it may not be a bad thing.

The two left the hospital and strolled casually on the street.Duanmu Yingluo talked to Yi Cheng from time to time, and Yi Cheng responded in a very harmonious manner.

"Yingluo, Li Jieyu, who came to our clinic last time, doesn't look well. I wonder if she is now?" Yi Cheng finally asked.

Duanmu Yingluo was always very happy, but she didn't feel something was wrong until Yi Cheng asked this question. The previous few times, Yi Cheng directly rejected her, but today she suddenly agreed, and she had to think about it.And, she noticed one thing, today, it was the first time Yi Cheng called her 'Yingluo' instead of 'treasurer'.

"Master Jieyu is very good. With my grandfather and father, she will be fine." When Duanmu Yingluo spoke, there was a sourness in her tone that she didn't even notice.

Yi Cheng immediately recognized it, and quickly persuaded, "Yingluo, don't think too much, I'm a doctor, and I always unconsciously observe if other people have any ailments. I met Li Jieyu the other day, and found that she seemed to be suffering from a stroke. poisoned, that’s why I wanted to ask you today.”

In fact, if other people heard it, they might not believe Yi Cheng's words, but Duanmu Yingluo really believed it, which probably echoed the saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

"Master Jieyu was indeed poisoned, it was Qiu Huaxiang, I wonder if you have heard of it?" Yingluo put away her sourness and said seriously.

Yi Cheng stared forward with both eyes. Qiuhuaxiang is a unique medicine for removing children in the Southern Qi Kingdom. He had heard about it in the palace. He didn't expect that Li Jieyu would be given this medicine. It seems that it was because of the palace struggled. ,

"I've heard, so, Li Jieyu came here to detoxify?" Yi Cheng replied.

Duanmu Yingluo nodded, noncommittal.

"Grandfather and father used it for two months, and it can be said that the poison on Master Jieyu's body is almost cleared. After another two months, he will be completely cured, and Master Jieyu will be able to give birth safely."

Yi Cheng nodded, it seems that Li Jieyu will be fine.

"Doctor Yi, don't forget that you are here to play with me today. It's really a bad mood to ask this suddenly." Duanmu Yingluo pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Yi Cheng had no choice but to give Duanmu Yingluo a smile with great difficulty.

"Miss Duanmu, can I accompany you for a few more rounds?"

Only then did Duanmu Yingluo smile again, "This is pretty."

Many years later, whenever Duanmu Yingluo thinks about the time she spent with Yi Cheng in Sanyi Town, she feels pain and happiness. Feelings may not be pure at the beginning, but time has given it enough The lengths go to perfection until, finally, the dust settles.

With the bright sunlight shining into the room, Fengxi felt that she had never been so comfortable. Two months later, her stomach gradually appeared, and sometimes, she even had the illusion that the little guy in her stomach was kicking. She seemed to be telling her, "Mother, I want to come out."

Every time she puts her hands on her stomach, Feng Xi will have a smile on her face, she loves this little life in her stomach very much.This is the first time in her life that she is going to be a mother. Thinking that there will be a little guy coming out of her belly, and she has a deep blood relationship with her, she feels incredible. The child is connected with her.

When Ning Tong came in, she saw a quiet scene, Feng Xi was sitting in front of the window, stroking her belly with both hands, looking at her belly with a smile.At that moment, Ningtong was more moved, for the sake of the little master, the master had suffered for two months, drank the bitter traditional Chinese medicine every day, suffered the pain of acupuncture, but never said a word of complaint.

"Master, it's time to drink the medicine." Ning Tong brought the medicine over, carefully placed it on the table, and put the candied fruit beside it.

Feng Xi took a look at the medicine, she didn't need to smell it hard to know that it must still be so bitter, but she didn't complain, as long as the baby in her womb could be born safely, she felt that everything was worth it.

"Ah."

Feng Xi picked up the medicine bowl, drank the medicine little by little, and fed another mouthful of candied fruit, and it was over.

"Master, Xueshi Xiao said that he wanted to come to see you just now, but the maidservant was afraid of delaying taking the medicine, so she asked Xueshi Xiao to wait outside first. Master, please watch."

Feng Xi smiled, "Let Xueshi Xiao come in."

Ning Tong responded, cleaned up the medicine bowls and plates on the table, and went out.

After a while, Xiao Zhu came in, and Ning Tong stood guard at the door.

"My minister greets Master Jieyu." Xiao Zhu still looked like a scholar in the past.

"Xiao Xueshi get up, please sit down." Feng Xi said very politely.

Xiao Zhu picked a chair and sat down, looked at Li Fengxi, and then at her stomach, feeling much relieved.Fortunately, Li Fengxi was treated in Duanmu Mansion, and the child in his stomach was saved, otherwise Yu Mingqian would probably make him unable to eat.

"Master Jieyu, the emperor sent a secret letter two days ago, saying that I want my minister to protect Master Jieyu, and I will do my best to protect you." Xiao Zhu's words came from the heart, even if Yu Mingqian didn't say it, in the future It is impossible to turn a blind eye to the relationship between him and Yu Mingqian for many years. Although the Shadow Tower is a killer organization, it can still protect good people.

"Then please trouble Scholar Xiao." Feng Xi's heart warmed up. Fortunately, Yu Mingqian thought of her in his heart. In the past two months, she thought of Yu Mingqian many times, and she was thinking, I don't know Yu Ming Is Qian also thinking about her? Now the answer is yes.

Xiao Zhu still hesitated when he remembered what he was going to say next.

Feng Xi saw his hesitation, and said, "Xiao Xueshi, is there anything else you want to say? Just open your mouth."

Feng Xi had already said that, Xiao Zhu decided to say it anyway.

"There are some changes in the palace. I am afraid that the next two months will not be peaceful in the capital. The emperor tells you not to return to the capital before giving birth."

Feng Xi was startled, if he couldn't go back to the capital, then there was a change in the court, could it be Taiwei Zhou?

"Scholar Xiao, is Captain Zhou planning to rebel?"

Xiao Zhu didn't expect Feng Xi to guess who it was so quickly, secretly admiring it, it was indeed the woman Yu Mingqian had his eyes on, she was intelligent and good.

Xiao Zhu nodded slightly.

Feng Xi sighed lightly, "Please also ask Xueshi Xiao to tell the emperor, Feng Xi will definitely remember the emperor's words, please take care of the dragon body."

"Well, I will definitely tell you." Xiao Zhu admired the woman's calm appearance, if Wen Qi could have three points of her calmness, he wouldn't have to worry about his Qi Er's accident all the time.

"If Master Jieyu doesn't order, I will leave first. Don't worry, master, I have arranged people to protect you in the dark, and I will definitely let you return to the capital safely."

Feng Xi nodded, "My lord thanked Xueshi Xiao, I don't have any other orders, Xueshi Xiao can just go and get busy."

Xiao Zhu got up and left, Ningtong came in again after Xiao Zhu left.

"Master, the emperor really cares about you, and he still misses you even in such a far away place." Ning Tong sighed, when can she have such a good husband.

Feng Xi smiled lightly, "You little girl, do you want to get married?"

Ningtong got caught in Fengxi's heart, and blushed, "Master, you know how to make fun of Ningtong. Ningtong wants to take care of master for the rest of her life, so she won't marry!"

Feng Xi chuckled, "Really, then why do I feel that someone likes Deputy Court Judge Duanmu?"

Ning Tong liked Duanmu Yinghua even she didn't notice it herself, it was Feng Xi who observed that every time Duanmu Yinghua came, Ningtong became a little strange, and speculated that Ningtong liked Duanmu Yinghua.

Ning Tong also felt strange in her heart, now that Feng Xi mentioned it like this, she realized that it seemed to be true.
