Chunman Palace

Chapter 39
On the second day, Maoshi.

Lin Qingyu opened his heavy eyelids, feeling dizzy, looking at the furnishings in the house in a daze.

How did she come back last night?Frowning and recalling, the memory is sporadic and incomplete.

I only remember that people were panicked because of Concubine Ji's incident, and all the palaces sent their personal servants to call the strong and strong escorts in the palace to escort them back to the palace, but she only had a little fun in the palace, so Mu Pingting brought her palace servants with her Send Lin Qingyu back first, and take care of each other along the way.

She still remembered that she and Mu Pingting snuggled up to each other, the dark palace road was mottled by the lights, and they were silent all the way.

There was a burst of footsteps outside the door, interrupting her memory.

Seeing that Lin Qingyu had woken up, Lingqiao hurriedly handed over a bowl of decoction.

"My lord, drink some ginseng soup to nourish your mind, last night was really scary."

"Why can't I remember clearly what happened when I went back to the palace last night..." Lin Qingyu felt his head was dizzy, and when he reached out to help him, there was a sharp pain in his head.

She quickly withdrew her hand, and vaguely touched something like cotton cloth.

Lingqiao said nervously: "My lord, be careful, you just changed the medicine on your head, it can't be easily irritated, and it's easy to leave scars."

Lin Qingyu only felt a splitting headache, she forced herself to be clear and asked, "What's going on? What happened on the way back to the palace, Lingqiao, how is Sister Mu, I remember she was with me .” While speaking, she gasped a few breaths from the pain.

Lingqiao's eyes were full of crystals, and he choked up and said, "Last night, on the way back to the palace, a wild cat suddenly jumped down and fell on the young master. In order to protect the young master, the cat scratched his arm. , and is still in a coma."

Lin Qingyu's face instantly became as pale as paper.

She only felt a buzzing sound in her head, and an unspeakable anger welled up in her heart, she struggled to stand up, gritted her teeth and said, "How could I be so unconscious after being scratched by a cat, help me up, I'm going to see Sister Mu. "

Lingqiao was startled, and regretted that she spoke so quickly, and quickly stretched out her arms to stop the person: "My lord! You can't get out of bed and walk around, you need to rest now!"

Lin Qingyu changed from being weak in the past, and said resolutely: "Sister Mu was injured and unconscious for some reason, how did I rest? Get out of the way!"

"But my lord, you have to protect yourself first!" Lingqiao almost begged and knelt beside Lin Qingyu's bed.

"You can't even take care of your own life, so don't make trouble with Sister Mu." A sharp voice came from outside the room, and looking up, it was Chang Xiuru and Mo'er.

Mo'er hurriedly ran to Lin Qingyu's side, "Don't worry, my lord, this servant has found out about the situation, and specially asked Mrs. Chang Concubine to help us."

Hearing this, Lin Qingyu gradually calmed down.

That's right, so what if she goes now, I don't have the slightest idea about this matter now, if I also collapse, who can help me and Mu Pingting.

Seeing that Lin Qingyu became calm, Mo'er said: "Don't worry, my lord, the emperor sent people to investigate and found that the cat had been drugged, so it became very irritable and took the initiative to attack people, and the cat's paws were stained with unclean dirt. Something caused Jingui’s wound to suppurate and cause fever, the imperial doctor has already prescribed medicine to treat the affected area, now the fever has almost disappeared, and he will wake up soon.”

Fortunately... not poisoned.

Lin Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Has Concubine Ji checked it out?"

Mo'er continued: "Concubine Ji was scratched by something on her leg, and the wound was purple and black. Obviously, the poison flowed into the blood through the wound, causing Concubine Ji to be poisoned. But now I don't even know why Concubine Ji was injured. They couldn't find out what kind of poison it was, but they only knew that the poison was so strong that even the imperial physician was present at the time, there was no way to recover."

"Has Concubine Ji offended anyone?"

Mo'er shook her head and said: "I don't know about this servant, the concubine Ji is very quiet and doesn't like fighting in the harem."

Chang Xiuru suddenly said: "Who knows, but her sick child stays in Huazao Palace all day and rarely goes out, and she hardly has any favors. Who would want to put her to death? Who will get her if she is killed?" beneficial?"

That's right, in the eyes of ordinary people, unless the poisoner hates Concubine Ji to the bone, he wouldn't be so vicious, but if only this incident happened last night, it wouldn't arouse her suspicion, but it happened in Hui Yao It's too coincidental that there are wild cats attacking people on the road of Huage.

Lin Qingyu suddenly asked: "Sister Chang, has it ever occurred to me that there is a very high possibility that someone put the cat on my way back to the palace with Sister Mu?"

"This..." Chang Xiuru fell into hard thinking. In fact, she also had doubts about it, but the matter was too strange. Who would let a wild cat harm people, not to mention that the cat's paws were not poisoned.

Lin Qingyu pondered his thoughts, and continued: "Sister Chang, you might as well think about it carefully, maybe someone wants to use the death of Concubine Ji to create chaos and achieve the real purpose?"

Chang Xiuru asked the maid at the door to step back, and sat down opposite Lin Qingyu, "Tell me carefully."

"Concubine Ji was not favored at all, and that person poisoned Concubine Ji just to create an opportunity. The real purpose was Sister Mu and I. If that wild cat caught the faces of Sister Mu and me, I'm afraid the faces would be festered now. It's hard to get favor after it's over." Lin Qingyu sighed.

She didn't dare to say that the man might be targeting her, because the wild cat was placed on the only way back to Yaohua Pavilion, and her palace has few people so she might not be able to stop the crazy wild cat, and her purpose is clear.But if the truth is revealed, Chang Xiuru will definitely think that she caused the disaster, and accuse her of causing trouble to Sister Mu.

Chang Xiuru didn't think about it, but said in confusion: "But since that person dared to poison Ji Concubine, why didn't he just put the poison on the cat's paw?"

Lin Qingyu continued to conjecture in her heart: "It is much easier to poison an unfavored concubine than to poison a favored concubine, and the concubine Ji is seriously ill, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the palace people are basically going to enjoy the moon. It is even more difficult to leave a handle. As for why not poison the cat’s claws, let’s not say that it is extremely difficult to poison the cat’s claws. Just dip the cat’s claws in the dark objects, and this claw will just grab the facade, and the whole face They're all going to rot."

It can be seen that the killer has a vicious mind.

Mo'er, Lingqiao, and Shuang'er were stunned by this, and they had goose bumps all over their bodies.

Chang Xiuru was startled at first, then her eyes were stained with anger, and said bitterly: "That man is really despicable and ruthless, and he almost got his way with such vicious methods! It's really hateful."

She looked at Lin Qingyu as if she found hope, and said earnestly: "Sister Lin, do you have any good ideas? We can't let Sister Mu suffer from this for nothing."

"Sister Chang, don't worry, I've thought of a way to invite you into the urn, and I just need Sister Chang to help me." Then Lin Qingyu moved closer to Chang Xiuru's ear and told the whole plan.

"It's just that we need to find a person with extremely high martial arts, who can't be caught." Lin Qingyu was a little worried.

Chang Xiuru smiled when she heard it, and soon became aware of it: "Don't worry about that, a certain person owes Sister Mu a favor, as long as I ask, he will definitely help."

Lin Qingyu smiled bitterly.In fact, her method is not a one-hit hit, but to disintegrate the enemy's spirit through this method and let it reveal its flaws.

a few days later.

There were many shadows in the night, and the night watch eunuch was walking to the gate of Huazao Palace, when he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing into the back of his neck, he couldn't help shivering.

He wanted to quicken his pace and leave, but his whip seemed to be caught by something, thinking that the eunuch who was on duty at night was playing with him, he turned around in pain and wanted to scold him, but there was no one there.

Suddenly, there was a cry of a woman.

Bumping his courage, he looked up at the gate of Huazao Palace, but the palace gate was unlocked, he pushed open the door gently, and saw a black figure sitting in the center, with a dark blue and terrifying face faintly visible under the moonlight.

He passed out immediately, and when he was found in the morning, he was so scared that he peed his pants.

Soon, this matter spread in the palace, and everyone in the harem started talking about the strange thing about Huazao Palace.

In order to calm the situation, the queen summoned all the concubines to Fengyi Palace to discuss how to eliminate this unhealthy trend.

But there is no good way to discuss it.

In the end, I had to let the concubines in the palace take good care of the palace people under them, and strictly forbid gossip, and then let the word go out to prohibit the palace people from talking about this time, and those who violated it will be kicked out of the palace immediately.

When everyone exited Fengyi Palace, the sky was already dark.

All the concubines came out together, Chang Xiuru followed Concubine Min's sedan chair, and was noticed by Concubine Min.

"Sister Chang's concubine's Li Jinxuan doesn't seem to be in this direction, does it?"

Chang Xiuru nodded and said, "Yes."

Concubine Min looked at him suspiciously: "If that's the case, why do you still follow me? Do you have anything to say?"

Chang Xiuru sighed sadly, and said with some helplessness: "Lin Changzai and Mrs. Jin were recuperating in the palace, and now this kind of thing happened again. The concubine is really afraid, and wants to take advantage of the nobility of Concubine Min to protect Yihu Own."

Concubine Min gave him a sneering look, and said with a sneer, "I heard that Sister Chang Concubine came from a family of military officers, so why is she so timid, I really can't explain it."

Chang Xiuru followed the sedan chair, and said tentatively: "However, what happened in Huazao Palace made people panic in the harem, is Concubine Min really not afraid?"

Concubine Min gave her a white look, and said lightly: "I act upright, what is there to be afraid of? I am afraid that they are those who have done something wrong and are still complacent."

Chang Xiuru heard the meaning behind her words, she still didn't change her face, and said mockingly: "Ms. Concubine Min has a strong heart, I really admire it."

Concubine Min couldn't listen to Chang Xiuru's yin and yang words anymore, she stopped the sedan chair and glared angrily, "What do you mean by that?"

Seeing that Concubine Min was about to unleash her thunderous fury, there was a woman's sob suddenly from behind.

But I could only hear a gust of wind passing by vigorously, and I couldn't see anything else.

Concubine Min panicked: "What!!!" She was so excited that she stopped the sedan chair while clutching her chest, turned around and went back to check.

Yu Chang was trembling: "Today is Ji Concubine's first seven, could it be..."

Ling Guiren comforted, "Look at you, you are so timid, what are you talking about, it's just a gust of wind, no one sees anything."

Mu promised to stand aside and watch coldly, indifferent.

After seeing this, Concubine Min gradually breathed a sigh of relief, her expression calmed down: "Yu Chang's presence is a bit of a threat, it's like you killed Concubine Ji."

Yu Chang shook his head hastily: "No, Madam, how could the concubine kill the concubine Ji."

Concubine Min frowned, and said a little displeased: "Then don't scare yourself with nonsense here! You take Yu Changzai back to your own palace and take good care of it." Then she turned her head to look at Chang Xiuru, giving her a contemptuous look, He said coldly: "Today, I will let you off for the time being. If you still dare to say that the following criminals have spoken strange and chaotic words, I will never let you go lightly!"

Chang Xiuru said with a smile on her face: "What Concubine Min said is that your teachings should be regarded as golden rules by concubines and be engraved in their hearts."
