Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 14

As everyone saluted together, Su Qingning could feel Wan Zhaoyi's dislike for her, which made her more confirmed in her mind.

In any case, it's always good to be careful.

"Sisters, get up." Sitting on the chair, Wan Zhaoyi called everyone to get up, "It's winter now, although there are cold plum blossoms in the palace, it's too cold after all."

"So I specially ordered people to take some plum blossoms that were in full bloom and watch them with my sisters. The emperor knew that I had organized a flower viewing banquet, and he also specially ordered the flower house to send several pots of newly cultivated flowers."

When she said this, Wan Zhaoyi's face showed complacency, no matter how you say it, it was the emperor's special order, which is a great honor.

After Wan Zhaoyi finished speaking, some concubines immediately spoke up, saying compliments, and when someone spoke, someone echoed, and the smile on Wan Zhaoyi's face grew stronger.

"Come here, bring all the flowers here." Smiling, Wan Zhaoyi ordered, and immediately the palace servants moved the prepared vases and fresh flowers from the flower house into the hall.

In addition, there were other palace servants who brought tea and snacks and placed them beside everyone.

The faint fragrance of plum blossoms wafted over. Su Qingning watched the plum blossoms in the hall, but she was not interested in the few potted flowers sent by the greenhouse.

Those potted flowers are indeed rare nowadays, but in modern times, they can be seen everywhere.

Looking back, Su Qingning was a little thirsty, she picked up the teacup on the table, and wanted to take a sip of tea.

Hongxiu on the side wanted to remind her, but she couldn't open her mouth. In the harem, there were many secret means, and she was worried that her master would be tricked.

Su Qingning didn't think too much about it, as soon as she drank the tea, she frowned.

Swallowing the tea in her mouth, Su Qingning looked normal and put down the teacup.

There was a faint feeling of discomfort in her throat, and it was slightly itchy. Su Qingning looked at the flowers in the palace again, trying to divert her attention.

"I recently got some good tea, sisters, have a taste." Su Qingning's actions were noticed by Wan Zhaoyi, and a sneer appeared on her lips.

Picking up the tea on the table, Wan Zhaoyi smiled and said, everyone picked up their teacups and tasted their own cup of tea.

The continuous sound of praise made Su Qingning understand that there is something strange about only her own teacup in this palace.

Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand and picked up the teacup, trying to put on a show, so as not to be used as an excuse to embarrass her.

"Su Wanrong, could it be that the tea here in this palace is not to your liking?" Wan Zhaoyi's voice came over before the tea was brought to his mouth, and immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Su Qingning.

The discomfort in the throat still existed, but it was better than before. Facing Wan Zhaoyi's question, Su Qingning's heart quickly went around a few times.

Standing up, Su Qingning saluted to Wan Zhaoyi, still holding the teacup in her hand, "Madam Zhaoyi, please forgive me, the flowers in the palace of the Empress are so beautiful that I was stunned for a moment."

After finishing speaking, Su Qingning brought the teacup to her lips, and took a sip, "The flowers in the palace of Empress Zhaoyi are extremely beautiful, and this tea is also excellent. Thank you Wan Zhaoyi for arranging a flower viewing feast today."

In the previous life, Su Qingning, because she often pretended to be crazy and foolish, had already developed the ability to talk to people and talk to the devil, and the discomfort in her voice was suppressed by her, and the words she said were impeccable.

She said that even if Wan Zhaoyi wanted to find fault, she couldn't find anything, "Su Wanrong is really good at talking, no wonder she fell out of favor, and she can still remind the emperor of you."

Holding back her breath, Wan Zhaoyi still kept a smile on her face.

She thought that if she put something in Su Qingning's tea, she would make a fool of herself when she drank the tea, but she didn't expect that she didn't respond.

So, she invited everyone to drink tea together, hoping to make things difficult for Su Qingning again.

However, this time, she still failed. Su Qingning's words were really hard to find fault with.

So, with a change in her mind, she mentioned the matter of Su Qingning being favored again.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, many concubines looked at Su Qingning with a bit of unkindness.

"Thank you Wan Zhaoyi for the compliment. This concubine is just telling the truth. If you want to talk about doting, the empress is the one who is really doting. You can tell just by looking at the flowers in the palace. The concubine was just looking at these flowers, so she was so dazed."

Su Qingning could see Wan Zhaoyi's little trick very clearly. She put down her teacup and saluted Wan Zhaoyi again.

When she said this, the unfriendly eyes in the hall disappeared a lot, Wan Zhaoyi suppressed the anger in her heart, and called Su Qingning to take her seat.

Xu Shi suffered setbacks one after another, but Wan Zhaoyi did not make things difficult for Su Qingning anymore.

After eating in Yihua Palace, Su Qingning returned to Nongyu Xiaozhu. She ordered Hongjin to pour water for herself, and drank several cups before stopping.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Su Qingning like this, Hongjin and Hongxiu were taken aback. They surrounded Su Qingning and asked her worriedly.

"There may be some problems with the tea I drank before." Stretching out her hand to touch her throat, Su Qingning explained the matter to the two of them.

After hearing what Su Qingning said, both Hongjin and Hongxiu were taken aback, especially Hongxiu.

"The servant girl saw the master picking up the teacup, and wanted to remind the master, but there were so many people, and the servant girl was not close to the master, so I was very anxious. I didn't expect that there was something wrong with the tea."

"It's all right, don't worry, I don't feel any discomfort now, I guess, there should be something in the tea that can make people's throats tickle, if I coughed it up, I don't know what would happen?"

Frowning, Su Qingning had many guesses in her heart, in order not to make Hongjin and Hongxiu worry too much, she didn't say it out loud.

Su Qingning's guess was correct, there was indeed something in the tea that made people's throat tickle, what she didn't know was that if she really coughed it up, she might never see the emperor again.

Wan Zhaoyi is vicious, she originally planned to deal with Su Qingning directly.

Once Su Qingning coughed up, she would immediately send someone to invite the imperial physician, and at that time, the imperial physician would follow her instructions and say that Su Qingning had a disease that could 'surpass others'.

In the imperial palace, no matter who it is, once they get a disease that can 'extraordinary', they will be sent out of the palace immediately.

However, getting out of the palace is easy, but entering the palace is difficult. If Su Qingning is really sent out of the palace, the only thing waiting for her is death.

There are so many women in the harem, even if she served her before, the emperor still has some interest in her, but after leaving the palace for a long time, the emperor no longer remembers who she is.

No one will ask how she died. At that time, she might be wrapped in a straw mat and randomly thrown in a mass grave, waiting to be devoured by wild dogs and beasts.
