Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Chapter 120 Watching Song and Dance

He is forcing the Queen to make a decision again.

When things got to this point, the queen had to give an explanation even if she didn't want to.

"Send it to the Sentence Department. It's not that serious, right?" The Queen said kindly.

"The Empress, if she dares to poison the Empress today, won't all the concubines in the harem be poisoned by her? Then won't she be the only one in the entire harem? This Du Changzai usually bribes and woos the sisters. , I don’t want her to have such bad intentions, the Queen has seen the blackened silver spoon with her own eyes." Meng Yuzhu refused to give up and wanted to punish Du Jiyan.

But Du Jiyan said something: "The Queen drank two bowls of soup. Should she call the imperial doctor to take a look?"

These words reminded everyone.

He only focused on talking about the soup and completely forgot about the queen's safety.

"The queen's phoenix body is very important. We should ask an imperial doctor to take a closer look." Shi Jingfu Yifu.

"We must call the imperial doctor to take a good pulse of the Queen and test the soup to see what kind of poison it is."

The queen's sister Wei Zhaoning fell at the queen's feet and lowered her head with a look of regret: "I was shocked by the poisoning for a moment. I didn't expect to ask the imperial doctor. I also asked the queen to forgive me."

"You are still young, so you will inevitably be scared by such a scene. It doesn't matter to me." The queen comforted her by stroking her hand.

Soon, the imperial doctor came with a medicine box and personally took the queen's pulse. He said that the queen was fine and there was nothing wrong with her.

"But I just drank two bowls of poisonous soup."

The imperial doctor was startled and took the pulse again, but he was confused: "The Queen's pulse is stable, there is nothing wrong with her."

"But the silver spoon has turned black. Doctor, the soup is still here. Please have it checked." Meng Yuzhu pointed at the soup.

The imperial doctor picked up the remaining soup, smelled it and put it back: "This white fungus soup contains Lilu and Lilu powder, which can induce vomiting. Did the Queen just take two bowls of soup?"

"Two full bowls." The queen clenched her hands.

Shi Jing's palms were also sweaty, but Du Jiyan was the only one watching all this as if watching a show.

The imperial doctor was also puzzled. If she drank two bowls and was about to vomit, the Queen would not be so calm.

The concubines can't even understand how to eat melons.

Zhao agreed: "What is Li Lu? Do we still have this thing in the palace?"

Bao Guiren: "No way? How is it possible? I didn't vomit after drinking it."

"Du Jiyan, what else do you have to say?" Meng Yuzhu slapped her palm on the poor little table, causing it to shake a few times: "Du Jiyan attempted to murder the empress. The evidence is conclusive and should be handed over to Shen Xing. Si...I am saying that Du Jiyan should be severely scrutinized, and such a woman must never stay by the Emperor's side."

"But this soup was sent by Gao Rang, saying it was made in the imperial kitchen." The queen felt a little embarrassed: "My concubine, did you make a mistake? The imperial doctor? Did you also make a mistake?"

Everyone was stunned.

Didn’t you buy it from Yongfudian?
Why did Gao Rang send it again?
Du Jiyan had no choice but to stand up and explain.

It turned out that the Queen wanted to drink white fungus soup early in the morning, so she asked Guiyuan to go to Yongfu Hall to buy it.

I made several meals of white fungus soup for the Empress a few days ago, and happened to have run out of white fungus.

It happened that the emperor also asked Gao Rang to go to Yongfu Palace to buy some white fungus and wolfberry soup, saying that he wanted to replenish his health.

Du Jiyan did not dare to slack off, so he could only go to the emperor in person to confess his crime.

There is a shortage of raw materials, and it is difficult for Qiao's daughter-in-law to make a living without rice, and there is nothing she can do about it.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Taihe Palace, the emperor was drinking white fungus soup, and explained to Du Jiyan that he just wanted to see the difference between the white fungus soup made by Du Jiyan and the one made in the imperial kitchen.

Hearing that the queen also wanted to drink, the emperor was not stingy and immediately asked Gao Rang to carry the food box and deliver it to the queen's Jingren Palace in person to show his concern.

When the queen heard that the emperor asked her to give it as a gift, she was naturally very grateful and drank two bowls of it because of her outstanding performance.

I was saying hello calmly and everyone was fine, but Meng Yuzhu and Tian Lingyue jumped out. The soup was poisonous and the silver spoon was black.

This made the queen feel uncomfortable.

"These soups were prepared by the imperial kitchen and brought to the emperor's dining table. The emperor sealed the boxes himself and asked Gao Rang, the eunuch in charge, to bring them. My concubine had no involvement in the whole process. If the soup is poisonous, it is related to the emperor's safety. This matter must be reported to the Emperor and the soup should be brought over as evidence so that the Emperor can have a good trial." Du Jiyan was neither humble nor arrogant.

The queen nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Tian Lingyue's face turned pale.

Meng Yuzhu was also a little dizzy.

If this matter reaches the emperor, the truth will be revealed.

There are many ways to judge people in the palace.

Not to mention some little tricks that are not clever.

Meng Yuzhu secretly glanced at Tian Lingyue.

Tian Lingyue took a deep breath, held the blackened silver spoon and said: "Since these soups are from the imperial kitchen, it is okay for the emperor to drink them, so they are naturally good soups. I came to pay my respects to the Queen this morning. I I haven't had my breakfast yet, why don't you give me this soup?"

The queen was shocked: "Tian promised, this soup is poisonous."

Tian Lingyue smiled: "Maybe it's a misinformation, the emperor and the queen can drink it, why can't I drink it?"

As Tian Lingyue spoke, she picked up the remaining white fungus soup and drank it all into her stomach. After finishing the soup, she gave the queen a blessing: "This white fungus soup is thick and sweet. It is indeed a good craftsmanship from the imperial kitchen. Thank you, the Queen, for the reward."

Queen...

When have I ever rewarded you? You took the initiative to drink it, and I didn’t stop you.

Shi Jing couldn't help but curse: This Tian Lingyue is indeed a ruthless person. Even though she knew that the soup contained Lilu and would cause vomiting, she still drank it all without leaving any evidence.

After all, it was Tian Lingyue and Meng Yuzhu's bad idea to frame Du Jiyan with soup. Now that the plan failed, must they destroy this evidence? Entering the stomach is the fastest solution.

Sure enough, the soup was eliminated, and the two of them put the responsibility on the imperial doctor.

Meng Yuzhu stared at the imperial doctor: "You are also an old man in the palace. You have been serving the emperor since he came to power. Why have your medical skills regressed? Why are you saying that the soup is poisonous and Tian promised to drink it differently? That's alarmist talk."

"I drank this soup and felt that my body was warm and very comfortable. I'm afraid the imperial doctor may have misjudged it. I need to pay more attention to it in the future."

Imperial Physician...

He came to check his pulse properly, but somehow he took the blame and went back.

There is no way, everyone is the emperor's wife and the mistress of the harem. Meng Yuzhu and others slandered the imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor did not dare to talk back.

The queen, on the other hand, was tolerant: "The imperial physician has always done his best. It's just a misunderstanding today. I hope you won't do the imperial physician's work. Please step aside."

Tian Lingyue was also eager to retreat.

After all, she drank the soup with Lilu, and she was afraid that she would vomit it after a while.

The queen still tried to persuade her to stay, saying that Nanfu had arranged new songs and dances to prepare New Year's sacrifices, and the concubines happened to be there, so why not take a look together and pick out which one was suitable. Meng Yuzhu held the signal golden hairpin on her head: "I still have something to do in my concubine's palace."

"Is there anything more important than sacrifice? Nanfu's singing and dancing are always excellent. It's better for the noble concubine to take a look before leaving, and don't betray the queen's good intentions." Du Jiyan said.

The queen nodded hurriedly.

That's what she meant, it's just that it's not easy to say it.

The other concubines also wanted to watch the fun.

After all, he has lived in the palace for a long time and does not have many recreational activities.

After leaving Jingren Palace for a while, I went back to various places. I either hugged the pillow and slept, or sat and watched the charcoal fire dimming, or watched the eunuchs and maids working, or tidying up the flowers and trees. It was very boring. I might as well take a look at Nanfu. After all, this kind of treatment for the new song and dance can only be found in Taihe Palace or Jingren Palace. Concubines with low status do not have this kind of treatment unless they are taking advantage of the empress.

Meng Yuzhu didn't want to watch. Firstly, she was afraid that Tian Lingyue would vomit on the spot. Secondly, she was from Nanfu. Watching these Nanfu singers perform songs and dances was like seeing her former colleagues. She was taboo about her origin and didn't want to be in the same place. He lost face in front of the concubines.

But if the queen doesn't say anything, no one can leave.

Once the gate of Jingren Palace is closed, everyone, whether they like it or not, has to sit and watch, even if they can't see in.

The songs and dances arranged for the sacrifice are a bit dull, and they can't have big ups and downs. They are as sad as adding to someone's grave.

The singer's clothes were either white or blue, she held a feather fan in her hand, and her waist-length black hair was spread out. Three of them stood in a row and started dancing to a low tune.

Meng Yuzhu felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Tian Lingyue covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and big beads of sweat fell down her face. Looking at her expression, she wanted to spit it out several times, but looking at Meng Yuzhu's face, she had to swallow it back.

Others were immersed in the atmosphere of watching singing and dancing.

Zhao agreed: "The singing and dancing in Nanfu are so good, and the singer's waist is so thin. No wonder the imperial concubine couldn't take his eyes away when she danced."

Meng Yuzhu's face darkened.

Bao Guiren: "The imperial concubine's skills are much higher than those of these singers. These people know nothing about the emperor's preferences."

Meng Yuzhu's face turned darker.

Shi Jing: "Such a beautiful song and dance. I heard that Nanfu has been waiting for more than a month. Why am I watching it? Some people are going to vomit after watching it. Don't be ignorant."

Tian Lingyue gritted her teeth secretly, but her stomach was turbulent. She could only press her mouth tightly with a handkerchief, not daring to say a word or open her mouth.

The queen asked someone to bring some fruit to Du Jiyan, and comforted her: "What does Du Changzai think of this song and dance?"

"The Queen's choice is naturally suitable."

"You are really good at talking. No wonder the emperor likes you. Eat some fruit. Did what just happened scare you?"

"As long as the queen is here, I will not be afraid."

The queen was even more happy after hearing this. She had completely forgotten about her physical discomfort last night. She asked Guiyuan to bring the fruit wine, saying that it was made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and used the best grapes from the frontier. Two barrels were brewed, one barrel was sent to the Taihe Palace and the other to the Jingren Palace. The Queen rarely drank it, and talking to Du Jiyan now was really speculative. It would be better to talk about the wine and sing about life.

The concubines followed suit, each holding a cup.

With wine, you can't live without food.

Decisively, I brought some more duck snacks with barbecue sauce.

The ladies drank wine, ate meat and watched the singing and dancing. It was extremely pleasant.

This fruit wine is fragrant and very delicious.

The concubines drank wine, thanked the queen for the reward, and actually got high.

The damn atmosphere.

Tian Lingyue didn't move her chopsticks or drink, and just sat there.

"Didn't Tian Promise just say that he didn't use breakfast? Guiyuan, give Tian Promise another plate of baked buns." The Queen was kind.

Guiyuan quickly brought up six baked buns.

Smelling the rich smell of roasted mutton buns, Tian Lingyue couldn't bear it any longer. She wanted to vomit so much that tears flowed down her face. She stood up, knelt down to the empress, and quickly left Jingren Palace.

The queen was still wondering: "What's wrong with Tian's promise? He seems to be crying? His eyes are all red."

Meng Yuzhu could only say: "Tiantian promised to lose her parents a few days ago. I think this atmosphere made her miss her parents a little bit, so she lost her composure. My concubine also came back. By the way, I tried to persuade Tian to agree."

Meng Yuzhu ran away quickly.

After chasing through two corner doors, I smelled the strong smell of vomit.

Meng Yuzhu stood in the snow, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, refusing to take a step forward.

Tian Lingyue's face was pale, and beads of sweat had already soaked her inner clothes. Now she was so exhausted from vomiting that her whole body was weak. She knelt in the snow for a long time and couldn't get up, and tears flowed down her face after vomiting.

The maid Shanzhu gently stroked her back.

Meng Yuzhu's heart pounded with anger when she thought that she failed to frame Du Jianyuan, but lost face in Jingren Palace. Now that Tian Lingyue looked like she was dying, how unbecoming was she to sit on her knees in the snow and vomit? , isn’t it true that if you fail to succeed, you will fail?

"You can't bear it. If you let outsiders see it, it won't be a joke."

"Your Majesty, I..." Tian Lingyue burst into tears.

"It was you who came up with this plan. You said it was foolproof. You secretly sent your maid Mangkhut to Yongfu Hall to eavesdrop on the news. When you heard that Guiyuan was going to buy white fungus soup, you eagerly prepared silver spoons and Li Lu powder. It is said that when you use a silver spoon to test the soup, the pear powder stained on the silver spoon will be mixed into the soup. By then, no matter how clear the soup is, it will not be clear. Du Jiyan couldn't tell even if his mouth was covered with water. What was the result? "Meng Yuzhu looked disgusted.

Tian Lingyue had no choice but to lower her head.

"The information you asked about is not true. The white fungus soup in Jingren Palace was sent by Gao Rang. You didn't know it. You went to frame Du Jiyan, but you were caught. In order to destroy the evidence, you could only drink that Tang Shui, who can blame you? I blame you for not being good at things and stealing chickens."

Tian Lingyue's tears were like broken beads.

Shanzhu felt a little distressed and knelt down in front of Meng Yuzhu and said: "Please also ask the imperial concubine to hire a doctor for our master."

Meng Yuzhu was feeling angry, and immediately slapped the mangosteen fan and sat on the ground: "What kind of news did you go to find out? How dare you speak in front of me. What kind of imperial doctor did you ask for? Are you afraid that others won't know that our Changle Palace poisoned you?"

"Sangzhu, don't make the imperial concubine angry. This is all my fault and I deserve it." Tian Lingyue tried her best to support Shanzhu before she stood up, not daring to look at Meng Yuzhu.

She knew Meng Yuzhu well. If he was useful to her, it would be best. If he was useless to her, he would be slapped if he dared to breathe in front of her.

With a green face, Meng Yuzhu walked to Changle Palace supported by cashew nuts.

Tian Lingyue endured the discomfort, supported by Shanzhu, and followed Meng Yuzhu step by step.

This place is close to Jingren Palace and at the intersection. It is not suitable for people to vomit here and talk too much.

It was already an hour later when Du Jiyan and Shi Jing came out of Jingren Palace.

Shi Jing hugged a heater and followed Du Jiyan step by step: "Fortunately, Er Tiao was clever. When he woke up in the morning, he saw the mangosteen from Changle Palace poking around in our Yongfu Palace. Sure enough, he had nothing to hold back. This time he really shot himself in the foot. .”
