Chunman Palace

Chapter 99
After returning from Guanju Palace, Lin Qingyu received a message from the queen: everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.She was heartbroken, and finally slashed fiercely at her arm with the dagger in her hand.

The blood meandered down from the wound, and fell into the boiling medicine cup. She covered the wound with a handkerchief, and said to Mo'er, "I'm sorry for you. Go and get some medicine powder to stop the bleeding, later." When the medicine is ready, follow me to Xuanji Palace."

Mo'er nodded, clutching her arm and went.

Lin Qingyu took out a porcelain bottle from her body and added some to the cup.

The pale white medicinal powder was continuously boiling along with the hot soup, and the bubbling taupe soup exuded a strong bitter taste, which merged with the smell of blood, making it suffocating.

Although she also wanted to use real poison to ruin Mu Pingting's life.But rationality told her that it was not enough, it was not yet time, the situation carefully arranged by the empress needed to allow Mu Pingting to step in, instead of letting her go so easily.

In this harem, death is so easy.But she didn't just want Mu Pingting to die, she wanted her to be ruined and completely disgusted, and she had to taste the taste of family ruin.

She looked at the turbid liquid medicine, and the bitter taste penetrated into her lungs through her nose. She felt a dry and numb feeling in her heart. She tried her best to suppress this feeling, and kept telling herself that everything would pass, and she only needed to endure for a while.

Mo'er had already bandaged the wound on her hand, she took a blood-stained cotton cloth and wrapped it around Lin Qingyu's wrist a few times, and asked, "Ma'am, shall we go there now?"

Lin Qingyu pointed to several court ladies to follow, then turned to Mo'er and said, "You stay here, I'll just go with the medicine."

"Yes, the lady must be careful in everything..."

"Don't worry." Lin Qingyu gave a relieved smile, and set off for Xuanji Palace.

At this time, the queen probably brought Chang Xiuru to Fengyi Palace for questioning, right?He thought that he would go to Qingxin Hall to look for Xuan Yin in a short time, and at the same time, Concubine Lan would also be called over, and when the situation was chaotic, he could find clues from Linxian Hall.

While thinking about it, Lin Qingyu had already stepped into the gate of Xuanji Palace, and the exotic flowers and plants competed for beauty, before stepping into the flowers, the rich fragrance rushed into her nose, the fragrance was intoxicating.

The maid of Xuanji Palace led Lin Qingyu into the main hall. Mu Pingting was lying on the bed at this time, resting with her eyes closed. Beside her was a silver silk censer under a bottle of white jade Guanyin, and wormwood was burning in the censer. Intense flavor.

Seeing that Mu Pingting's abdomen was swollen high, and when it was time to give birth, the smell of smoked moxa in the room was getting stronger and stronger. I am afraid that the fetus is really unsafe and might have a miscarriage.

Lin Qingyu walked forward slowly, saluted and said, "Sister Mu, how are you doing?"

Mu Pingting raised her eyes hurriedly when she heard the words, and seeing Lin Qingyu quietly entered the hall, she immediately frowned and scolded: "What does Xuanji Palace keep you slaves for? Those who don't know think that There is no one in Xuanji Palace, why don't you come to inform me when Concubine Concubine is here?"

Lin Qingyu raised her lips and said with a smile: "I told them not to report. When I came here, I saw my sister was resting. I didn't want to disturb my sister. Now that my sister is pregnant, I don't want to get angry. Hurry up and calm down."

"I was afraid that these slaves would neglect my sister, so they listened to my sister like this." Mu Pingting smiled, "Lingqiao, go make a pot of rose dew."

Huayue moved a chair for Lin Qingyu, even extinguished the burning wormwood, and took out the stove together.

Lin Qingyu was puzzled and said: "Sister, the fetus is seven months old, why is it still burning moxa? My sister heard that only pregnant women burn moxa when the fetus is not stable. Sister, is this...? Could it be?" , is the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician?"

Mu Pingting smiled lightly, leaned on the bed and said, "My sister misunderstood, Li Taiyi said that occasionally smoking moxa can make the fetus grow stronger in the womb, and nothing happened, so I asked someone to help fumigate it." , is always beneficial and harmless.”

Lin Qingyu listened to people talking nonsense, and pretended to have the original expression: "That's right, if my sister is lucky enough to conceive an emperor's heir in the future, she must use my sister's method to make the emperor's heir grow stronger." .”

Mu Pingting sneered and said: "Moxa fumigation is not suitable for everyone, my sister should be cautious. After all, some people have a healthy fetus after fumigation, while others have a bloody collapse after fumigation... This world is impermanent. , is not the only possibility."

Lin Qingyu smiled deeply: "If the moxa smoked is good, those who suffer from blood collapse after smoked moxa can only be said to be unlucky, right?" She gently took Mu Pingting's hand and sighed: "Sister There are blessing patterns on this hand, it must be rich and powerful, and it looks like a prince! My sister congratulated her in advance."

Mu Pingting withdrew her hand and said with a faint smile, "Your sister can still read palms?"

"It's all just a little understanding." Lin Qingyu looked at the maid behind him, asked someone to take the medicine cup to warm it up, and then said to Mu Pingting: "The emperor attaches great importance to my sister's birth, and my sister must take good care of it." , don't be given by Concubine Min like last time..."

Mu Pingting's eyes became colder: "Sister is really good at joking, Min promise is dead, who can harm the fetus in my womb? Besides, there are gains and losses in everything. I believe that Tan'er has a spirit in heaven and will protect me." The baby was born safely."

Lin Qingyu then smiled: "My younger sister is only afraid of my older sister, the gain outweighs the loss."

"What do you mean sister?"

Lin Qingyu's eyes were innocent, and she said softly: "It's nothing interesting, my sister just wants to tell my sister that everything can be gained and everything can be lost, it's better not to take chances, it's good for myself and the fetus in the womb."

Mu Pingting frowned, supported her waist, and said with a smile, "Sister is too worrying. Now that I have the emperor's mercy, I am safe. I don't need to be so cautious like my sister. I live a very tiring life."

Lin Qingyu suppressed her smile, "My sister really understands my sister. Those days were really hard and tiring, and there was no hope." She changed the topic, and then said: "But my sister thinks that my sister must be missing her more and more in the palace, so I will I feel very hopeful.”

Mu Pingting smiled brightly, but her brows were slightly wrinkled: "Of course! My sister made me worry when she was in the palace, but outside the palace, I didn't expect to make me even more worried! So I told the emperor, or It would be better to ask my younger sister to come back, it is also the emperor's favor and gave my younger sister the position of concubine."

"Yes, my sister is able to get today's favor, but it is all thanks to my sister. The Yanxi Palace can be said to be complex and beautiful, but I can't invite my sister to sit there. My sister thinks it is a pity."

"It's okay, the decorations in my Xuanji Palace can't be seen anymore." Mu Pingting said to the outside: "When the tea is brewed, serve it, I happen to be a little thirsty."

Lingqiao hurried in with two teapots and said: "I've kept you waiting for a long time, this servant will pour tea now."

Then, she handed two cups of tea to Mu Pingting and Lin Qingyu respectively, and stepped aside.

Lin Qingyu sniffed it, and praised: "It's so fragrant tea, when did my sister fall in love with this rose dew?"

Mu Pingting took a sip of tea and said, "This rose clear dew is specially prepared for my sister, and I drink Enshi Yulu." She handed the teacup to Lingqiao, and said to Lin Qingyu, "I still remember that my sister liked roses the most before. Clear dew, so I asked Lingqiao to carefully select dried roses, does my sister still smell musty when drinking it?"

Lin Qingyu just sniffed the tea in her hand, but didn't drink it: "My sister was joking, Lingqiao is the maid next to my sister, how could the flowers and leaves she picked get moldy?"

Mu Pingting said lightly: "Actually, the place where the tea is placed also has an impact on whether the tea will grow moldy, just like the remote and humid Jinhan Palace. No good tea can be stored in such a place, and it's hard not to get moldy. "

Lin Qingyu heard what she meant, so she was not in a hurry to return, she just said to the maid behind her: "Go and see if the medicine is hot, take it when it's hot."

Mu Pingting laughed and said, "What kind of medicine is my sister warming up in my palace? Why don't you take it first before coming back."

"Because this medicine is specially given to my sister by my sister, but it is a good tonic, and it is specially used to treat my sister's physical weakness." Just as he was speaking, the maid brought the medicine over.

Lin Qingyu was about to invite someone to drink medicine, when a man's sighs came from the door.

Looking up, it was Xuan Yin.

The two said in unison: "The concubine sees the emperor."

Xuan Yin waved his hand at Mu Pingting and said, "You're still healthy, so you don't need to salute!" He looked down and saw Lin Qingyu, "You're here too? Get up."

"Yes." Lin Qingyu got up slowly, with a smile like a peach blossom: "It's a coincidence that the emperor is here, and this concubine is asking my sister to drink a bowl of tonic that my sister personally cooked."

Xuan Yin asked suspiciously: "What kind of tonic?"

Lin Qingyu smiled and said: "The concubine invited Imperial Physician Liu outside the door, let Imperial Physician Liu speak for the emperor and Sister Mu."

Xuan Yin nodded: "Yes."

After a while, Imperial Physician Liu was invited in by Li Qiao, picked up the bowl of taupe soup and carefully inspected it, took a little taste with a spoon, and then said cheerfully: "Back to the emperor, there are Chuan Duan, Eucommia, Cuscuta, Dangshen , white peony and other medicines are good medicines for invigorating the kidney and preventing miscarriage, nourishing qi and nourishing blood, and are extremely beneficial to pregnant women, but..."

Xuan Yin frowned slightly: "But what?"

"Rong Weichen have a taste again." Imperial Physician Liu said, and drank the rest of the spoon, his complexion immediately changed, and his voice became intermittent: "This, this, this, there is human blood added."

Xuan Yin's face turned ashen in an instant, and he asked Lin Qingyu, "My concubine, what do you mean!"

Lin Qingyu immediately knelt down and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, please appease your anger! This concubine cuts off her blood and puts it in medicine for the sake of my sister."

Xuan Yin couldn't hide his anger: "You put human blood into medicine, didn't you curse Concubine Jin?! Pregnant people are most afraid of seeing blood, don't you know this bit of common sense?"

"Going back to the emperor, my concubine saw a Buddhist scripture that said that Nifo cut meat to feed the eagle, and gave up his body to feed the tiger, and human flesh and blood are the most nourishing. I also heard that my sister had a hard pregnancy and was very weak, so... just..."

Xuan Yin was surprised: "So you cut your own blood to make medicine for Concubine Jin?"

Lin Qingyu wept with both eyes: "For my sister's health, no matter how fleshy my concubine is, the concubine is willing." She raised the medicine bowl and handed it over, "Please accept my sister's heart."

Seeing the bloodstains on her wrist wrapped in cotton cloth, Xuan Yin couldn't help being moved: "Qing'er, this is on your hand..."

Lin Qingyu said pitifully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this concubine has already asked Imperial Physician Liu to bandage the wound for this concubine, and it will be fine."

Mu Pingting said lightly, "I'm really touched by my sister's kindness, but I just drank tea and felt sick, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink my sister's bowl of medicine."

Lin Qingyu held up the medicine bowl: "This medicine is best for invigorating qi and blood, and it is good for my sister's fetal image stabilization, so I should drink it."

Mu Pingting's eyes fluttered and said: "But... I really don't have an appetite now, if I spit it out later, it will ruin my sister's heart. How about it, I will definitely drink this bowl of medicine after dinner."

Imperial Physician Liu said from the side: "If this medicine is warmed up again, its efficacy will be greatly reduced."

Xuan Yin was silent for a moment, then said in a more serious voice: "Since Qing'er is kind, you can drink all of it! After you drink this medicine to stabilize the fetal gas, I have something to say."

The eyes of the three were burning, like a hungry wolf in the dark forest, about to pounce on Mu Pingting and tear her apart, making her feel unbearably stinging.

"Yes..." She was in a dilemma, so she had no choice but to pick up the bowl of bloody medicine, swallowed it while holding back her nausea.

After drinking it, she almost threw up with nausea.

She understands how much Xuan Yin attaches importance to this child, and also understands that Xuan Yin can satisfy any of her demands for this child, but now, Lin Qingyu is allowed to use this reason to make her so sad... Xuan Yin has no affection for her .

She wiped her mouth with a veil, trying to spit out the remaining medicine in her mouth, but the strong, bitter taste was choked in her throat and lingered for a long time, almost making her stomach churn.

"After drinking it, I will tell you one thing...Fu Changzai and Concubine Lan poisoned Concubine Chang, and I have punished them. I have also summoned the imperial physician to detoxify Concubine Chang. I hope that the antidote can be developed as soon as possible. .”

Just when Mu Pingting was shocked, Lin Qingyu asked suspiciously: "How could this happen? Fu Changzai and Lan Fei have always been on good terms with Sister Chang. Is there any misunderstanding?"

Xuan Yin sighed: "I have asked the people from Sangong, the evidence is true, if not, I can't believe they would do such a thing."

Lin Qingyu asked again: "The eldest princess is still raised by Sister Lanfei's side. Now that Sister Lanfei is like this, what should the eldest princess do?"

Xuan Yin took a sip of tea and said: "The empress is very steady, and I can rest assured that Qian He will be raised by the empress."

Lin Qingyu smiled and said: "The empress is very caring for the sisters in the harem, and she is even more lenient to the palace people in each palace. I think it will be safe for Princess Qianhe to be raised by the empress." She glanced at Mu Pingting, He added: "Sister Mu, don't worry too much about Sister Chang. Maybe the imperial physicians will be able to develop a detoxification method after careful diagnosis and treatment."

Mu Pingting ignored her, and only asked Xuan Yin: "I don't know how the emperor will punish Fu Changzai and Concubine Lan?"

Xuan Yin drank the tea in one gulp, and then said: "Fu Changzai was deposed as a commoner and entered Jinhan Palace. Concubine Lan was deprived of her title and banned for three months."
