After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 254
Mrs. Wu Dinghou didn't go back to the mansion until it was dark. It's not that she didn't want to stay with the eldest daughter who was still sleeping in the palace, but the situation didn't allow it.

Empress Chen was overly sad and couldn't care less about other things. She was accompanied by the prime minister's wife all the time, and there was no shortage of people to take care of Shangguan Luan. The imperial physician and the maids of Weiyang Palace were very responsible.The princes and concubines who arrived last night were very active. Mrs. Wu Dinghou was so shrewd that even though most of her mind was worried about her eldest daughter, she still caught some subtle hints from the words of several princes and concubines.

Fortunately, Xiao Mingrui arrived soon. Her attitude was very gentle, but she forcefully "persuaded" all the princes and concubines to go to the Empress Dowager's side. In Weiyang Palace, there was only Madam Wu Dinghou who accompanied Shangguan Luan. There are female relatives of the prime minister's mansion.

Mrs. Wu Dinghou was watching Shangguan Luan, so Xiao Mingrui went to the main hall of Weiyang Palace first, but Empress Chen refused to see her.Not long after, a small eunuch with a clever face came running outside, saying that it was sent by the king of Huaiyuan County, and wanted to send a few words to the eldest princess.

Xiao Mingrui got a note from the little eunuch, after reading it, she went directly to Shangguan Luan's bedroom, handed the note to Mrs. Wu Dinghou, and then hurriedly turned around and went to the Empress Dowager's Palace .

Those princes and concubines are still in the palace, Xiao Mingrui can't rest assured.

The note was actually written by Xiao Jingheng and sent in the name of He Lingjun.After seeing the note, Mrs. Wu Dinghou's heart tightened, but her expression didn't change a bit.

All the palace people who took care of Shangguan Luan in Weiyang Palace thought that Mrs. Wu Dinghou would stay in the palace for the night, and the maid had even prepared her room. However, at dusk, she took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye. The eldest daughter stayed alone in the side hall of Weiyang Palace.

"I'll come back tomorrow morning," Mrs. Wu Dinghou told the maid in charge of taking care of Shangguan Luan several times before she left: "I'll be counting on you tonight, and you must take good care of the princess."

"Madam, don't worry, the slaves and all the imperial physicians will do their duty," the maid replied, "It's just that Madam can actually stay in Weiyang Palace tonight, and the Empress will not care about it."

"Not yet." Mrs. Wu Dinghou shook her head: "Even the Prime Minister's wife is not prepared to stay in the palace, so I am ashamed. I will enter the palace tomorrow morning."

Seeing Mrs. Wu Dinghou's insistence, the maids of course would not say much, so Mrs. Wu Dinghou left Weiyang Palace at dusk. Before she left the palace, she didn't want to see her son-in-law Xiao Jingheng, but hurried back Family.

Although she was still worried about her eldest daughter who had just had a miscarriage and was still in a coma, the safety of her younger daughter was clearly more important to Mrs. Wu Dinghou right now. If her husband was not at home, she would not be able to rest assured that she would not go home to make arrangements.

Shangguanjing herself didn't expect that Mrs. Wu Dinghou really came back after leaving Shangguanluan like this. Even though her relationship with Shangguanluan was not good all the time, she still felt that Shangguanluan was a bit miserable!
This is worthless in the eyes of parents. How come, a miscarriage in a month, such a hurtful thing, before she wakes up, Mrs. Wu Dinghou can't care about her anymore? ?Will it be so inhumane? ?

Facts have proved that Shangguan Jing is overthinking.

Shangguan Luan is a precious daughter brought up by Mrs. Wu Dinghou herself and brought up by herself, which is different from Shangguan Jing who is free-range.

She still loves her eldest daughter very much.

For a period of time, Mrs. Wu Dinghou has been extremely busy. She has to arrange everything at home early in the morning before entering the palace, and then invites the edict to enter the palace to accompany her eldest daughter. After returning home in the evening, she has to continue to be busy family business.

Even if Mrs. Shangguan Tai and Mrs. Shangguan are watching at home, Mrs. Wu Dinghou is still very worried, especially when it comes to Shangguan Jing. She must personally take care of everything around her little daughter until late at night.After a short rest, she had to get up in a hurry to dress up and go to the palace.

During this period, Mrs. Wu Dinghou also had to go through the greeting cards and invitations delivered to Wudinghou's mansion one by one, for fear of any mistakes.Facts have proved that Mrs. Wu Dinghou's hard work was not in vain, and such carefulness is not without gain.

Although Shangguanjing's daily meals and snacks are watched by Mrs. Tai and the wives in person, those who are interested still find opportunities from the purchase side.

Just in the beginning of spring, Artemisia annua shoots and spring bamboo shoots were on the market. Shangguanjing liked to eat these two seasonal dishes, and the servants who bought them naturally remembered them clearly. They saw good quality spring bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots in the market, and bought a lot of them to send to Xiao In the kitchen, Nanny Chen originally planned to cook for Shangguan Jing herself.

Originally, Mrs. Wu Dinghou didn't need to look over these small things in person, but she would personally ask the servants who bought them every day, which hawker or shop the things were bought from, and she would ask them one by one.This day, I heard that a peddler with a face was buying fresh spring bamboo shoots and wormwood sprouts. Madam Wu Dinghou immediately became vigilant, and immediately sent someone to the kitchen to pick up all the vegetables.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wu Dinghou was careful, and quickly found many poisonous celery seedlings among these fresh and juicy vegetables. The tiny poisonous celery seedlings are very similar to the freshly sprouted mugwort, and it is impossible to tell them apart unless they are carefully identified. .As for those spring bamboo shoots, the doctor found out that they had been processed in advance. They looked tender and fresh, with soil in them, but they had actually been soaked and poisoned.

Mrs. Wu Dinghou did not order a thorough investigation of this matter, because everyone knew it, and it was useless to investigate. The clues must point to Prime Minister Chen's residence.

After this incident, Mrs. Wu Dinghou became more cautious, thinking hard every day, staring at everything around Shangguanjing.This exhausting cycle lasted for nearly a month, and even Shangguan Jing kept lamenting that her mother had worked so hard, she was a ruthless person to be able to do this, and if it was her, she might not be able to persist for three days.

In mid-March, Marquis Wu Ding, who was on a mission abroad and everything was going well, returned to Beijing as scheduled. The day before he arrived in the capital, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs jointly issued a memorandum, requesting the cancellation of this year's clan rewards.

The so-called clan favor, Shangguanjing always thought it was a unique system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As a modern person who didn't know much about history, she didn't remember seeing a similar system in her previous history class anyway.

The clans of the Great Zhou Dynasty, of course, also received salaries according to their ranks. The annual salary of a prince was very different from that of ordinary clan children.It is no different from other dynasties.The only difference is that the land system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was relatively strict, and there were strict restrictions on the clans holding land.According to Mr. Feng, such a law was established because of the lessons learned from the previous dynasty.

　---Here is the dividing line of the poisoning method--
　　Don't ask, I made it all up, I don't even know what hemlock looks like.

　　Mrs. Wu Dinghou didn't investigate thoroughly because it was unnecessary. The clue must point to Prime Minister Chen's residence, but not necessarily who did it.

　　Let me make the poison, then I will still be the basilisk tooth plus Aragog poison sac, which has not changed for thousands of years, with salamander blood and chamaejasma aconitum, and I entrust Professor Snape to help boil it.

　　Thanks to Perak and Tuantuan's little boots for their daily dried fish! !

　　Then, I have to say, Perakmu, your way of celebrating the festival is really uncreative!Ow!
