Chunman Palace

Chapter 133 Phoenix Ember

After Lin Qingyu gave birth to the sixth prince, although the queen mother wanted to investigate the truth thoroughly, her body became weaker and weaker day by day. In the past three years, imperial concubine Jin came the most frequently. Knowing that the queen mother was pure and careless, she specially offered the best sandalwood , it smells relaxing and pleasant, every time the queen mother is unwell, she must burn this kind of incense, otherwise she will be very irritable.

Although burning sandalwood can cultivate the mind and mind, it is still a temporary solution, not the root cause. The Empress Dowager's health is deteriorating, seeing the point where the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry, and she is sick every day.

But the Empress Dowager still insisted that Yudai burn incense in the palace every day, even if he was coughed and coughed, the aroma should be as strong as possible.

Lin Qingyu was shocked for a long time after hearing the news.

If she guessed correctly, the queen mother must have become addicted, and the burning incense has ingredients that resemble five stone powder, which makes the queen mother unable to forget it for a long time, right?
But as far as she knew, it was Fu Changzai who brought the fragrance similar to Wushisan in the past, and Mu Pingting used the fragrance to assist Concubine Chang to suffer for a year. Now, where did Mu Pingting find this poisonous incense?

Thinking of the Queen Mother's caring and high hopes when she still agreed, now she can't be too heartless even if there is a gap, so she said: "Mo'er, change clothes for Ben Gong, Ben Gong is going to Oasis Hall. "

"Your Majesty hasn't been to Ganquan Hall for some time." When Mo'er finished speaking, Lin Qingyu's heart skipped a beat. She knew that these days meant the past three years.

In the past three years, many, many things have really happened. She can accompany her children and have a happy reunion, but the queen mother can only hold the longing for her daughter, and be separated from Princess Huirui forever.

In this matter, she was indeed sorry for the Queen Mother.

At this moment, in Ganquan Hall, Yu Dai came to visit Concubine Tong Chuan, and the Queen Mother lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed and meditated, a little lazily and weakly said: "If she comes to pay her respects, she will come."

Just as Yu Dai was about to go out to answer the question, he was stopped by the queen mother: "burn this sandalwood more intensely."

The queen mother always said that the sandalwood burning is not strong enough. Although Yu Dai also persuaded him a few words, the queen mother insisted and could only obey.

Yu Dai added some sandalwood inside and went out to welcome Lin Qingyu in.

"The concubine greets the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is blessed and safe." She hadn't said this seemingly ordinary voice of greeting for a long time.

The Empress Dowager didn't ask people to get up, but just looked at them coldly: "What is Concubine Concubine here for? You have never been to Ganquan Palace in the past three years, have you? Why are you rushing here today?"

Lin Qingyu said: "The concubine heard that the queen mother is not feeling well recently, and she often uses sandalwood. In fact, burning too much incense for a long time is harmful to the body. The concubine specially brought these citrons from Linxian Temple. The smell is fresh, not as good as the queen mother. This sandalwood?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother remained silent for a long time, she turned to Yu and said, "Aunt Yu, please put these citrons on the table and put out the sandalwood."

The queen mother's voice became more serious: "When did the Ai family ask you to do this? Don't make decisions on your own if the Ai family has not ordered you."

Seeing that the replacement was fruitless, Lin Qingyu said again: "The Empress Dowager loves these sandalwood so much, the concubine also feels that the smell is a little different from the ordinary sandalwood, and the aroma seems to be more complicated. I wonder if I can let the concubine take a look at this sandalwood?"

The Empress Dowager said impatiently: "If you think this incense is rare, just take some back yourself, and don't add trouble to Ai's family here, Ai's family won't want to see you for a moment!"

Lin Qingyu knew that the Empress Dowager was unwilling to forgive herself, so she didn't respond much. She took some incense powder from the censer, put it in the palm of her hand, and inspected it carefully. On the contrary, an auxiliary medicine for soothing the mind and calming the qi was added.

She flicked the incense powder from her palm, and said to the queen mother: "These sandalwood concubines don't feel anything wrong at the moment, but I want to ask the queen mother not to burn this incense again, so as not to be difficult to stop using it."

The queen mother raised her head slowly, her eyes became complicated for a moment, she sighed, and said, "Is that the red garnet bracelet in your hand?"

Lin Qingyu was slightly startled, subconsciously stroked the bracelet on his wrist, and said, "Yes, it was a reward from the empress dowager when the concubine accidentally fell and injured it."

"It's hard for you to bring this bracelet to see the Ai family..." The Empress Dowager's eyes dimmed, and she cast a glance at Yu Dai, "Yu Dai, you go out first, the Ai family has something to say to the concubine alone."

After Yu Dai and Mo'er went out, the Empress Dowager looked at Lin Qingyu, "Get up at home."

Lin Qingyu stepped forward according to his words, and gently hugged the Queen Mother's upper body, allowing people to lean back to support her body. The Queen Mother suddenly grabbed the red garnet bracelet on Lin Qingyu's wrist with great force, and took it off from her hand.

"This bracelet was injured by a bush of thorns when Ai's family was traveling with the late emperor to the east. The late emperor specially gave it to Ai's family. When Huirui was six years old, she was injured by a wild dog, and Ai's family gave this bracelet to her. It's been ten years since she wore it..." The Empress Dowager coughed a few times, her eyes seemed to be closed, as if she saw the past years in a fantasy, she held the bracelet tightly and continued. : "On the day of Huirui's marriage, Aijia accidentally knocked his forehead on the corner of the table because he was anxious to go out, and Huirui returned the bracelet to Aijia."

Lin Qingyu was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty, "Later, the Empress Dowager gave this bracelet to the concubines?"

"Yes." The queen mother sighed slowly, with a faint hatred in her throat, "But the Ai family did not expect that the person I trusted and entrusted would betray the Ai family! She did not hesitate to make the Ai family an enemy, and the Ai family The family is unfamiliar!"

She raised her head abruptly, and said to Lin Qingyu with ruddy eyes: "Concubine, do you still have a conscience? Is this how you repay Aijia?!"

Lin Qingyu felt a soreness in her heart, she frowned slightly, her brows were slightly sad like a slightly folded willow leaf, but she didn't dare to tell the truth, she just said: "Empress Dowager, it's my concubine's fault, this concubine failed you! High hopes, my concubine should not do such a thing in order to reunite with Concubine Jin."

"Up to now, you still have to hide it from the Ai family..." The queen mother smiled bitterly, the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth twisted into fine creases, her eyes suddenly widened, pointing at Lin Qingyu and scolded: "What you said, Do you believe it yourself? You are not trying to reconcile with Concubine Jin, you are doing it for a man! Without love, you can’t live? For that man, you betrayed the emperor and Ai’s family at all costs, and fabricated so many false certificates just to preserve That person! It's not worth wasting the trust and expectations that Aijia has placed on you!"

Lin Qingyu only felt a numbness running down her spine. She didn't understand why the Queen Mother didn't report on her when she learned the truth.

She quickly knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "The Empress Dowager, all the concubines are willing to bear all the sins, just to calm the anger in the Empress Dowager's heart!"

The Empress Dowager's expression was complicated, she sipped a few tears in her eyes, and her brows were tightly knit together. She stretched out her hand and waved Lin Qingyu's face, and then said with hatred: "Concubine, your mind is being manipulated by that man. Hooked away? You don't want this honorable life, sacrificing yourself to impress others? You should be sober!"

The queen mother was weak, and the slap was not too hard, Lin Qingyu raised her head in fear: "One life for another, the concubine is willing to pay for the matter of the eldest princess!"

The queen mother coughed a few times, out of breath, and said, "What are you doing here? Do you want to impress Aijia, or do you want to impress that man after you die? But Huirui will stay by Aijia's side for a while longer!"

Lin Qingyu was speechless, she knew that no matter how much she compensated, she would not be able to get the queen mother's forgiveness.So she bowed her head deeply and knelt on the ground, and said firmly: "All things, I am willing to bear it alone, I only hope that the Queen Mother can spare others."

"Are you responsible? How much face and strength do you have to bear this matter?" The Queen Mother took a deep breath and closed her eyes in disappointment, "The Ai family will never let any of you go... ..."

Lin Qingyu's mind went blank for a moment, she only felt that her back was extremely cold, as if someone was constantly blowing cold wind on the back of her neck.

"Do you think that the Ai family would not know that this sandalwood was tampered with by Concubine Jin? This concubine Jin is also very powerful. The imperial physicians who come to ask for pulse every day have noticed something wrong with the sandalwood." The queen mother slightly curled her lips, "It's just that the Ai family has also obtained this qualification after many years. Naturally, they understand medicine and fragrance. The things added to the sandalwood here have the effect of five stone powder, but the dosage is extremely small, and the toxicity is difficult to take effect after many years."

Lin Qingyu was puzzled, why did the Empress Dowager insist on using this sandalwood, could it be that the Empress Dowager has eliminated the poison in this sandalwood?

The queen mother saw that people looked confused, and couldn't help laughing: "Although the poison in this sandalwood is to kill Ai's family, it is also meeting the wishes of Ai's family... Finally, Ai's family can see Huirui again..."

It turned out that the queen mother wanted to rely on the poison of sandalwood to make herself fall into an illusion to meet Princess Huirui.

Lin Qingyu blamed herself endlessly, but there was nothing she could do.

As a mother, the queen mother did not hesitate to be infected with this poison, just to reunite with her dead daughter in that false illusion.

Perhaps, it was because the only remaining kinship in this Nuoda palace was the only reason for them to survive.

Lin Qingyu didn't know what to say, but looked at the queen mother sadly, unable to speak.

In the end, she said softly: "Why is the empress dowager here?"

The empress dowager's expression of longing and grief suddenly turned cold, and turned into a cold smile. She looked at Lin Qingyu like a falcon staring at her prey, and said viciously: "If Aijia doesn't make dangerous moves, how can I catch you all in one go?" What?! The poison in this sandalwood will naturally be exposed after the death of Aijia. No matter how much the emperor loves Concubine Jin, she will die! As for you and that man, Aijia has written a letter, waiting for Aijia to die Afterwards, the letter will be handed over to the emperor! Aijia said that he will never let any of you go! You will all pay for Huirui's life!!!!"

The Empress Dowager's laughter was rough and distorted, as sharp and piercing as a cuckoo weeping blood.

Lin Qingyu felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and after taking his leave, he fled away from Ganquan Hall.

Seeing Lin Qingyu walking in a hurry, Mo'er stepped forward and asked with concern: "What did the Empress Dowager say? Why did the Empress look so ugly when she came out?"

Lin Qingyu said anxiously: "Mo'er, go to Xuanji Palace and tell Concubine Jin that the Queen Mother has learned the secret of the sandalwood! I will go to Qingxin Palace."

Mo'er nodded, "Okay, the empress should be more careful!"

Lin Qingyu felt anxious like never before, her heart kept beating violently, as if it was about to hit her chest in the next second, she pinched her palm with her nails, trying to calm herself down.

After seeing Zeyu in front of the steps of the Qingxin Palace, she gave someone a look, and then said to Li Qiao: "I wonder if the emperor is free now? I personally made a jade pendant, and I want to give it to the emperor."

Li Qiao said: "Hey, the emperor is discussing matters with the Minister of Military Aircraft inside now, I think I don't have time to see the empress, why don't the empress leave this jade pendant and pass it on for you?"

This is exactly what Lin Qingyu wanted, she nodded, handed a jade pendant to Li Qiao, and thanked: "I have to thank you, father-in-law."

Then, he deliberately slowed down and left.

When Lin Qingyu left the area of ​​Qingxin Hall and walked to a rockery, she heard steady and powerful footsteps behind her. She turned her head and saw that it was Zeyi.

"Your Majesty, do you want to find something?"

Lin Qingyu shook her head, pursed her lips and said, "You were only pardoned by the emperor two years ago. I know that I am ashamed of you, so I have kept a distance from you all these years, and I don't want you to be implicated by me again because of the harem. Doesn't it seem a bit abrupt to come to you now like this...?"

Zeyu pulled out a smile with difficulty, and said bitterly: "Why don't I understand your intentions? Nowadays, being in love is worse than knowing each other. Seeing that you are living well, I have nothing else to ask for."

"Today, I have something important to tell you. Hurry up..." Lin Qingyu was about to speak, but suddenly thought that if she told the truth, she would leave the palace and flee. Tell Zezuo about it directly.

She changed the topic, and said softly: "Brother has sent letters these few days, saying that Daddy has unfortunately contracted a strange disease, and now he is suffering from pain, but he has sought medical treatment to no avail, so he wrote down his illness and asked me to find a doctor in the palace to draw up a prescription." go back."

She lowered her eyes and said sadly: "It's okay to entrust others to do this matter, but Dad's condition is getting worse day by day, and the distance between Xuanming City and Hexing is far away, I'm afraid Dad will not be able to support it... I heard that Mr. Ze has a bloody BMW , but I can travel thousands of miles a day, I don’t know if I can..."

Zeyu said heavily: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

Lin Qingyu smiled movedly, took out the prescription from his body and handed it to Zeyu, saying: "Okay, this is the prescription, you can keep this prescription until Hexing gives it to my brother."

Zeyu nodded, "It's not too late, I'll do it right away."

Lin Qingyu called him from behind: "Can you please pick a phoenix flower for me in my hometown?"

Then he asked suspiciously, "Phoenix flower?"

Lin Qingyu said with a slight smile: "This flower is my favorite thing. It blooms like fire and is fiery red. It is a warm and bright thing."

Zeyu's heart sank, and he said, "Okay, I will definitely bring this flower."

bring?She didn't know if she would still be alive to see the phoenix flower.

She looked at the back that was going away, and two lines of tears meandered down, dripping slowly from her cheeks.

Let's go and say goodbye, and we will never see each other again.
