What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 225 Aunt Fang Rui 1
Concubine Qing came out of Jiaofang Palace on the next day.

She had an extremely comfortable smile on her whole body, with a well-thought-out plan and sparkling eyes.

The queen was equally excited, but mixed with a trace of apprehension.

"Is Concubine Qing reliable?"

"She doesn't want to cheat me, does she?"

Lufu was too honest and not good at words, so he couldn't answer for a long time.

The queen lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and finally waited until dawn for the red rice.

She insinuated and asked a few questions about Concubine Qing.

Hongzi answered one by one.

"The tenth prince is indeed in poor health. He is ill for eight months of the year. He can't even go to the funeral of the empress dowager. He can only stay in bed."

"Concubine Qing was born in Si Lefang, her family must be poor. It should be better these years, but it is definitely not as beautiful as when she was a concubine."

Hongzi's words were subtle.

In fact, Concubine Qing's natal family was originally an ordinary untouchable, without any family business, wishing she didn't even have a place to live, and worked hard for a living all year round.

Once such a family rises to heaven, it is a shame for others to live in ten years of poverty.

Concubine Qing is down and down, her natal family will be unlucky immediately.

The queen obviously thought of this too.

"Then her natal family won't give her any help"

Hongzi was full of contempt.

"What kind of help do you give? It's good if you don't drag it down. Why do you suddenly ask this, my lady?"

The queen wanted to say it, but also thought that the matter was of great importance, so she found an excuse to cover up the past.

"However, I met you in the past few days, so I'm curious."

She dismissed the red jellyfish and pondered over Concubine Qing's matter again, joy gradually appeared on her face.

"A person with no backing is still reliable. If she dares to betray, the whole family will die."

-

At the same time, Concubine Qing's place.

She got up early with her son and practiced Wu Qinxi with the little eunuch.

Xie Chenqi, who was only seven years old, obviously didn't get enough sleep, his eyes were sleepy, and he couldn't stretch his arms and legs.

Concubine Qing encouraged from time to time.

"This is personally guided by the old doctor of the Tai Hospital, who said that if you practice for a year, you will be as strong as your ninth brother, capable of both literature and martial arts."

Xie Chenqi's eyes were full of envy when he thought of Brother Jiu, who was strong and strong, wearing a copper-faced chain mail and slashing with a big knife.

He finally pulled himself together and wanted to practice hard, but because of lack of energy, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

It seems that they are already familiar with these scenes.

Concubine Qing ordered her son to be carried away in a calm manner, and she followed beside him from time to time to pinch him to relax his muscles.

Xie Chenqi didn't wake up until he carried his son into the bedroom and poured down a bowl of medicine.

Concubine Qing remained expressionless throughout the whole process, but neatly arranged her son's clothes with her hands and feet.

"Mother, I have no strength."

"It'll be fine soon, it'll be fine soon"

There was no hope or sadness in her eyes, only a deep and strong hatred hidden.

-

In May is the Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the filial piety period of the Empress Dowager, this year's Dragon Boat Festival banquet was cancelled, and only the traditional sacrificial ceremony was retained.

It's rare for the emperor and empress to be free, but it's a pity that they are busy with their own things in this rare leisure time.

Xie Chenyu summoned Qiu Yuanjue.

The other party gave him a fairly satisfactory answer.

Qiu Yuanpan took out a stack of old account books thicker than all the books on the table.

It records the pulse cases in the palace for nearly ten years, and the medicine collection records of the imperial pharmacy.

"This is the backup of the internal treasury, not the one that is commonly used. Only the previous court judgments are passed down from generation to generation. No one else knows it, just to fear the disaster of the palace."

He opened one page after another to show the emperor, but was pushed away by Xie Chenyu.

"I'm too lazy to read, you just need to tell me the conclusion, what's wrong?"

Qiu Yuan sentenced to close the booklet, and stated the conclusion straightforwardly.

"Nothing else is abnormal, only one year, the ladies in the palace frequently experienced various situations. For example, in the spring and March of that year, four ladies accumulated food, and each took a few catties of hawthorn and tangerine peel maltose to make stomach ointment."

"Then two empresses were scalded. The imperial doctor prescribed several prescriptions, which were taken internally and applied externally. They contained burn ointment, aconite and cinnabar, all of which are good medicines for eliminating pus and relieving pain."

"and also……"

Qiu Yuanping said several things in a row, and finally came to a conclusion.

"It's like an appointment. Every illness has at least two or more women. Other illnesses can be explained as a coincidence. Only burns are so obvious. It's obvious that someone wants to hide the truth and collect medicinal materials."

The imperial pharmacy, the imperial hospital, and all matters related to the harem's consultation with doctors and medicines are under the responsibility of the queen.

Xie Chenyu frowned.

"not good!"

"Go find Fang Rui!"

The empress dowager is dead, and the people and things she used have not had time to deal with them.

The palace servants are usually released by the older ones, and the younger ones are sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for reassignment.

Fang Rui is old, so she should have been released from the palace at this moment. She is originally from the Wang family, and if she leaves the palace, she will still fall into the hands of the Wang family. If the Wang family also knows something, one can imagine Fang Rui's fate.

-

Fortunately, late at night the next day, Zhao Hai successfully brought Fang Rui back.

In Gong Zhengsi's darkroom.

Fang Rui sat in the corner calmly, without fear, expression, or begging for mercy.

Xie Chenyu stood at the door of the cell, staring at her expression coldly.

Intuition told him that everything he wanted to know was in this woman's mind.

The emperor strode in.

"Let's untie, put on a table of good wine and good food"

Xie Chenyu personally helped Fangrui get up, and took her to a fairly clean room outside the cell.

"Aunt Fangrui, I'm really sorry, the slaves don't know how to do things, I've wronged you, Auntie"

Fang Rui has lost weight these days after leaving the palace, and she no longer has the proud and noble atmosphere of "the first lady beside the queen mother", like a person whose energy has been extracted, and she doesn't look like her no matter what.

Fang Rui pursed his lips and looked at the emperor, as if looking at a stranger.

"Hello, Emperor, I have bad legs and feet, so I won't kowtow to you."

She just sat down at the table, like a countryman who never knew the rules of the palace, tearing off the drumstick of a roast chicken and eating it.

Xie Chenyu was not annoyed, and let her eat and drink.

Half an hour later, she was finally full and wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

"I'm full, if you have any questions from the emperor, just let me know, I'm busy."

Xie Chenyu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Did my mother's death come from the Queen Mother first?"

"Yes!" Fang Rui did not deny it at all.

"How did you do that?", Xie Chenyu clenched his fists, already getting excited.

"How did you fail to find out? If you really didn't have any evidence, I wouldn't be here anymore," Fang Rui sneered.

"People in the royal family always beat around the bush when they talk," Fang Rui sneered.

Xie Chenyu took out the evidence found by Qiu Yuan and placed them in front of Fang Rui one by one.

"Hawthorn is appetizing"

"Aconite, it's aborted"

"And these are all slightly poisonous things that damage the blood and make the mother and fetus unsafe."

Xie Chenyu laughed before Fang Rui finished speaking.

"Hahaha, you are really amazing"

"Your Highness, Sixth Highness, it took you at least 15 years to find out this step. How have you been doing well in the past ten years?"
