Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 385
Concubine Lu couldn't accept Concubine Zhang Shu's actions from the bottom of her heart. If it were her, she would never do anything to her daughter.

"I have known for a long time that she will definitely not bring the eldest princess out of the palace. This matter is also within my expectation."

If only Concubine Zhang Shu was ill, the Eldest Princess could still go out of the palace. After all, during this time, the Eldest Princess would occasionally go to Yuxiu Palace by herself.

But if even the Eldest Princess is sick, then there is nothing I can do, I have to take care of her body.

Right now the emperor only has such a daughter, so naturally he is very concerned about it, if something happens, the emperor will be very sad.

"This Concubine Zhang Shu is really not a fuel-efficient lamp." Hearing what Su Qingning said, Concubine Lu frowned, "I think the eldest princess is very good, but it's a pity that there is such a biological mother."

She couldn't help thinking of her daughter, if her Jin'er was still alive...

Forget it, Jin'er has already gone, thinking about this will only make me feel bad.

The sedan chair of the two returned to Yuxiu Palace. It was hot outside, but when they entered the palace, it was chilly. Su Qingning ordered someone to bring sour plum soup.

Drinking a bowl of sour plum soup with Concubine Lu, the two sat in the hall and chatted casually.

Su Qingning was about to leave the palace, and there were a lot of things that had to be explained to Concubine Lu. Concubine Lu knew that there were many dangers in going out of the palace with the emperor and Su Qingning, so she also told her a lot.

In Zhaochun Palace.

Concubine Zhang Shu was in the side hall, guarding the sleeping eldest princess. At this time, her face was very ugly.

She really thought about finding an excuse not to take the eldest princess out of the palace. Of course, she didn't plan to leave the palace herself.

Although she had been ordering people to make preparations before, she never thought about going out of the palace with the emperor and Concubine Su.

Not only because she knew something would happen on the road, but also because she was not at ease, and felt that it was really unsafe outside the palace.

She had thought of many ways to prevent her and the eldest princess from going out of the palace, but she never thought that before she could do anything, she and the eldest princess fell ill together.

This time, she is innocent. Whether it is her own body or the eldest princess's, it is not her handwriting. The mother and daughter really ate something bad, which caused the spleen and stomach to be at odds.

Both Su Qingning and Concubine Lu misunderstood this point.

"Master." Bai Guo walked in from the outer room and saluted Concubine Zhang Shu.

"Can it be found out?" Hearing the voice, Concubine Zhang Shu turned her head and looked at Bai Guo. The imperial doctor's medicine was still boiling, and her complexion was very ugly.

"Returning to the master, it has already been found out. One of the food yesterday was not very fresh. I didn't notice it at the time, so I put it in the ingredients. Because of this, both you and the eldest princess are uncomfortable."

Blessing Concubine Zhang Shu, Bai Guo replied, after listening to her, Concubine Zhang Shu took a deep breath.

"Drag out the servants who were in charge of meals yesterday, and stick them to death. You can't do this well. What's the use of them?"

It doesn't matter if she just ate it up, but the eldest princess also ate it up, which made Concubine Zhang Shu very angry.

She has always paid great attention to the eldest princess' meals, for fear that what she ate would not be good enough to make her feel unwell.

But in the end, it still happened. Both she and the eldest princess were sick, so they naturally understood how uncomfortable it was.

After receiving the order, Bai Guo retreated. She understood that what others said was useless to what her master had made up her mind to.

The palace servant who was in charge of meals last night was dragged away and killed with a stick, then wrapped in straw mats by the palace servants, and transported out of the palace.

After lunch, Concubine Lu left Yuxiu Palace, Su Qingning moved around for a while, getting ready to take a nap, when Ji Shun came in from outside the hall and saluted her.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Jishun, Su Qingning asked.

"My lord, after you and Concubine Lu left, Concubine Zhang Shu of Zhaochun Palace ordered people to investigate Zhaochun Palace and killed several palace people in the small kitchen."

All the news that will come back will be returned to Su Qingning. At Zhaochun Palace, Bai Zhi will be watching, and she will tell Jishun any news she gets, and Jishun will report to Su Qingning back and forth.

"The maid in the small kitchen? Is it because of her affairs with the eldest princess?" Su Qingning asked after Jishun finished speaking.

"It is said that some of the ingredients yesterday were not fresh, and the palace people neglected to put them in the food, which made Concubine Zhang Shu and the Eldest Princess sick."

"It's so? I thought..." Blinking her eyes in surprise, Su Qingning didn't expect that this matter had nothing to do with Concubine Zhang Shu.

"I see, you go down." After ordering, Su Qingning watched Jishun leave, got up and walked towards the inner room.

"God is helping her with this matter. If she doesn't want to go out of the palace, she really doesn't have to go out of the palace." Talking to Nanny Chen, Su Qingning lay on the bed under her care.

"What should be prepared, are you ready?" Su Qingning had to be cautious as he was about to go out, and this time going out had a lot to do with it.

"Master, don't worry, everything is ready, the Shen family has also informed, and then the two princes can be sent to the Shen family."

Covering Su Qingning with a thin blanket, Nanny Chen responded, Su Qingning nodded and closed her eyes.

Seeing that she was going to take a nap, Nanny Chen withdrew from the inner room, thought for a while, and went to the side hall to take a look.

When it was nap time, the two princes also fell asleep. After seeing it, Mother Chen was relieved. She ordered people to guard in the outer room of the main hall, and went back to the house by herself.

On weekdays, she would also take a break at noon, after all, all the big and small matters in Yuxiu Palace had to be handled by her.

In the evening, when Emperor Chen came back to Yuxiu Palace, Su Qingning had already woken up and was reading a book. Seeing Emperor Chen coming, he told him what happened today.

He knew about Concubine Zhang Shu and the eldest princess before, and all of this was within his expectation.

"I'm about to leave the palace, are you afraid?" Emperor Chen asked, holding Su Qingning in his arms.

"With the emperor here, I have nothing to fear. Besides, you must have made preparations, so my concubine will not be harmed, let alone fear."

Smiling and speaking, Su Qingning responded that the emperor hugged her even tighter.

The day passed quickly, and finally it was time to go out. Early in the morning, Su Qingning got up and changed into light clothes.

After all, if you want to travel, the clothes are too cumbersome and inconvenient, especially now that the weather is hot, the simpler the cooler.

After having breakfast with the children, Zhou Chengren brought people to welcome Su Qingning and the two princes.

Sitting on the sedan chair, the three of them, mother and son, headed for the gate of the palace, followed by Nanny Chen and Hongxiu.

After leaving the palace, Nanny Chen will continue to follow Su Qingning, while Hongxiu will accompany the two princes and go to Shen's house quietly without letting anyone know.

Looking at her two children, Su Qingning was very reluctant to part with her in every possible way, but there was no other way, they always had to be separated for a while, she kissed this one, then the other, the more she looked at it, the more reluctant she was.
