Lady Changning

Chapter 135 Unprepared
"Bao Er."

"Yes."

Under Xi Lingyan's gaze, Xi Changning called He Lianbao, of course He Lianbao knew what was going on, so it was unnecessary to say that she had already turned around and left.

Xi Lingyan felt it was strange, so she got up and followed.At this step, Xi Changning knew that her strategy was half successful. Everyone knew that she had always kept everything clean, including Xi Lingyan of course.

So she pushed herself into the light this time, catching everyone by surprise and unexpected.Especially Xi Lingyan, let her know the consequences of betraying her.

He Lianbao lingered in the kitchen, walked around and came out again when no one was around, no one knew what she had done.Xi Lingyan looked to the left and looked again but couldn't find anything, so he stepped forward and called He Lianbao to stop.

"Bao'er, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

"The princess is not feeling well today. I wanted to ask the kitchen staff to serve her some light food, but who knows that the kitchen staff are all busy." He Lianbao looked calm, without any trace of nervousness.

Xi Lingyan obviously didn't believe He Lianbao, but he didn't know what she did, so he could only let her go.

"I will give orders later."

He Lianbao saluted Xie En, and when the arm was drooping, he swung it lightly. This movement is already light, and most people would not care about it.Then he left the kitchen, and as soon as he left, all the people in the kitchen came in.

"Slaves see the third prince and concubine."

"Where did everyone go?" Why is there no one in the kitchen?It's really hard to tell if this is deliberate or something strange?
"Just now a little maid said that the dishes were overturned on the way. I thought in my heart that there is no confusion. Everyone can only send the prepared dishes to the palace maids in the hall."

It's reasonable to say that if you come and go in this way, they will all go empty.

"There is such an ignorant court lady, I will let her punish herself later."

Could it be that she is overthinking?Did He Lianbao really come to look after Xi Changning's food?It should be, because Slender is not the kind of person who will put himself out in the open to use tricks, otherwise he wouldn't be called Xi Changning.

Dispelling her doubts, Xi Lingyan left the kitchen, returned to the hall and sat down.At this moment, He Lianbao was already standing beside Xi Changning, as if he had never left.

To be honest, although He Lianbao looks different from the Central Plains people, she is a palace lady after all. She has been in and out so many times, and the people in the palace are no longer unusual, so even if she leaves in the chaos, no one will pay attention .

Thinking of Xi Lingyan in this way, she became more careful. She was not Xi Hanxue. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and her self-righteousness had been carved into her bones.Since she was a child, she had to live by looking at people's eyes, and her life was easy because Xi Changning paved the way step by step, so she had to think more.

"Your Majesty, where did you wipe your body? Why is there still dust on your body?" The maid beside her whispered.

Xi Lingyan was taken aback, how could there be ashes on her body?She wiped it with a handkerchief and put it on the tip of her nose to smell it. There was some fragrance, but she didn't know what it was.

Thinking about it again, she felt something was wrong, and she rubbed the powder on her body vigorously until it was wiped off.By the way, he also took a look at Xi Changning, obviously she almost fell for Xi Changning.

On the other hand, Xi Changning ate indifferently, even if Xi Lingyan escaped carefully, she would not be able to get away with it today.

As the banquet drew to a close, the maids served the last soup, and everyone thought it was delicious and delicious.Except for Xi Hanxue, because she had unbearable abdominal pain after drinking it, but she dared not say it herself, for fear that others would find out that she was fake pregnancy.

It was not easy to get to the end of the show. I don't know who pushed her, and she fell out as soon as she got up.A moan of pain escaped his lips.

The queen mother was taken aback, she was deeply afraid that the child on Xi Hanxue's body would make a mistake.

"Hurry up and declare to the imperial physician, Concubine Xi is still pregnant with a child."

Xi Hanxue wanted to stop the queen mother from announcing the imperial physician, but it was too late, she glanced at Xi Changning, and at this moment Xi Changning looked at her without hesitation.Xi Hanxue understood, and Xi Changning won again.

But Xi Changning has done enough in this matter, both openly and secretly. Isn't this causing trouble for himself?Many people know that the two sisters do not get along, and Xi Changning is most likely to do this.

Why did Xi Changning do this?Why?
When Xi Hanxue was thinking, she had been helped by the maid to sit aside, because the queen mother summoned the imperial physician to come to her side.As soon as she saw the pulse, she knew the result without thinking about it.

After taking the pulse, the imperial doctor couldn't believe it, turned it aside again, and finally knelt down slightly trembling in front of the emperor, empress and queen mother.

"Back... back to the emperor, empress, empress dowager, Concubine Xi's abdominal pain is caused by medicine, it should be the big red flower. However, Concubine Xi is not pregnant at all. Pregnant."

Xi Hanxue knew that she wasn't pregnant, but she didn't expect to have no birth.

"Impossible! How could I be infertile? Someone must have hurt me!" Xi Hanxue cried and couldn't accept this fact.

"What did you say?"

The most shocking thing was the queen mother, she was so happy thinking that she would support Xi Hanxue's children when the prince came to the throne, so that their Zhao family would be blessed for a hundred years.Who knew that now it was an empty joy, and she still bet all her treasures on a person who can't lay eggs.

"So Concubine Xi lied to us? Who else is so vicious and actually prescribes medicine?"

When the emperor asked a question, it was natural that something would happen.

Concubine Hui, mother and son came together to observe Xi Changning secretly at the same time. Concubine Hui felt that this girl's mind was really unpredictable. When others thought so, she would do the opposite. Such a person is too dangerous.

As for Huangfu Zimian, it was because of self-blame, because Xi Hanxue did what he wanted, and he had struggled, but he still had to violate his conscience for her comfort.

Xi Hanxue could ignore the gazes of many people, but she couldn't ignore Huangfu Zimian, his eyes were filled with reproach and self-blame.Xi Changning kept telling himself in his heart that he would have nothing to do with him from now on, no matter what he thought of her, she didn't care, this kind of constant hint suppressed the sourness in his nose.

"Since everyone is fine, it means that it is aimed at Concubine Xi. Could it be the food?"

Xi Changning didn't expect that Concubine Hui would come out to help her. Originally, she wanted to ask such a question by herself, but Xi Hanxue would definitely be steadfast with her on the spot.

No matter what the purpose of Concubine Hui is, Xi Changning's purpose has been achieved after all.

"Bring up all the cooks who are cooking tonight."

Xi Lingyan secretly sweated for herself, because the fire finally burned herself. Fortunately, she destroyed all the evidence, even if she was pointed out, no evidence could be found.Finally, he knew what Xi Changning was planning.

The cooks were afraid of the emperor, so they told everything, and Xi Lingyan was told that it was natural.She had already thought of a set of rhetoric in her mind.

"The concubine was just worried about whether the dishes tonight would be to everyone's taste, so I went to the kitchen to have a look."

These few words are reasonable, but her suspicion is still the biggest.Because the cook only saw her appear before and after, although Xi Lingyan knew that He Lianbao appeared, but now he said that he would definitely not admit it, and might be charged with provoking.

"It must be you! Or you! The two of you will never see me!"

Xi Hanxue couldn't bear such a big stimulus, she couldn't bear children, then the Queen Mother would definitely give up her pawn, who else could she rely on in the palace?

"Why do you want to kill me? Why?"

Xi Hanxue suddenly went crazy. She smashed all the tableware in the hall, messed up the carefully combed bun, and her clothes were stained with oil and vegetables, just like a real lunatic.

"Pull her down and lock her up in the side hall."

Before the emperor could speak, the prince could no longer bear Xi Hanxue's madness, and called the guards to pull her down.

"I won't let you go!"

Xi Hanxue yelled.

"That's the end of this matter, you all can do it for me!"

The emperor flung his sleeves away, followed by women from the harem.Xi Changning did not forget to warn Xi Lingyan before leaving.

"You can keep the handkerchief, don't you like collecting handkerchiefs?"

Xi Lingyan suddenly felt that she had overestimated herself. In this turmoil, although Xi Changning was standing in the clear, it was them who were in the nest. She was still a theatergoer.

"Where's Ziyu?"

The prince asked, as if he hadn't seen her since the accident just now.

Xi Changning immediately looked for Zhao Zhifeng among the scattered people, but there was no one there.Fearing that the crown prince would be suspicious, and worrying about Ziyu's comfort, she glanced at Helianbao, and Helianbao understood and walked away to look for Ziyu.

"It was too chaotic just now. I was afraid that I would scare the little prince, so I let Ziyu leave with the child. It should be nearby, otherwise I will go back to the palace."

Xi Changning is not sure where Ziyu is, but it must be related to Zhao Zhifeng.

Xi Hanxue went crazy, she was imprisoned in a side hall, and she could hear her cursing loudly and throwing things every day.Others only thought she was crazy because she couldn't stand the stimulation.

But Xi Changning didn't think so, because Xi Hanxue escaped the punishment of fake pregnancy because she was crazy.

"Is my sister really crazy? I don't believe it, Bao'er, take out the tonic I brought to Concubine Xi."

It is said to be a non-hot tonic, but in fact even the soup cup is too hot to touch. Xi Changning deliberately tried to test Xi Hanxue, because she still did not believe that Xi Hanxue would be so fragile, so she went crazy like this.

Xi Hanxue took the soup cup without even thinking about it. It was so hot that she threw it away like crazy, but then she picked up the things on the ground and ate them with her hands, and kept smiling and saying it was delicious.

"Changning, aren't you crazy if you're like this?" Helian Baoguang thought that Xi Hanxue's appearance just now didn't look fake.

"Too deliberate."

In short, she would not believe that Xi Hanxue would admit defeat like this.
