The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 281 You will surely die
The female official left for a while and then returned. At the same time, Concubine Le returned the medicine box in her hand to the maidservant. The maidservant was about to reach out to take it, when a court lady stepped forward to offer tea to Concubine Le. The teacup fell out, the handmaid had to retract her outstretched hand, and she was quite clever, seeing that the teacup was going towards Concubine Le's face, she didn't have time to think about it, so she stood in the way of Concubine Le In front of him, he blocked the cup of tea with his body.

Seeing this, the female officer next to Concubine Le hurried forward to take the tray from the handmaid and put it on the table beside her, and said with concern: "Is there any injury there!"

The queen and the others, who were looking at the artwork, also focused their eyes on the maidservant and the maid who caused trouble, and saw the queen angrily scolded with a gloomy face: "What's the matter, can't you even serve a cup of tea?"

The servant girl shook her head at Concubine Le's female officer, then turned around and bowed to the Queen, "Don't be angry, Madam Queen, the tea in the teacup is cold, this servant girl is not injured, and this servant girl looked at the elder sister serving tea with a pale face. , I must be unwell, that's why I'm disrespectful in front of the Queen and Concubine Le."

Hearing this, the Crown Princess looked at her mother, and saw that her mother's expression was not very good. She was afraid that her mother would say something impolite, so she said first: "Mother, fortunately, Concubine Le was not harmed, can you treat this court lady lightly?" What's more, besides, I'm pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood, please ask the queen mother to accumulate blessings for the little emperor's grandson!"

At this time, Concubine Le also said: "Sister, what the Crown Princess said is true, just for the sake of Mrs. Liu and the Crown Princess, let this maid be spared! The expression on her face is indeed abnormal, I'm afraid It is to support the sick body to serve in the palace."

When the queen heard the words, her face was still ugly, but she was not as severe as before. She coldly reprimanded: "For the sake of the Crown Princess and Mrs. Liu, I will spare you this time, and I will detain you two times." Dailu of the moon!"

The palace maid heard the words and hurriedly thanked the Crown Princess and Mrs. Liu, "Thank you, Crown Princess, thank you, Mrs. Liu."

The Crown Princess glanced at her mother, then waved her hand and said, "Okay, you have nothing to do here, step back!"

The maid hurriedly retreated to the outside of the hall, while the maidservant who served Concubine Le's tea earlier picked up the birth-preserving medicine on the table and retreated behind Mrs. Liu.

Thinking that the mother and daughter must want to say some personal words, the Queen did not stay with the Crown Princess and Mrs. Liu for long, and told the people around the Crown Princess to serve them wholeheartedly, and then let the Crown Princess and the mother and daughter go.

As soon as the Crown Princess and Mrs. Liu left, Concubine Le handed the pill hidden in her hand to the queen and said, "Sister, the pill is here."

The queen took the pill from Concubine Le's hand, and said with a cold smile: "Mother and daughter must take precautions, the pill ended up in Ben Gong's hands."

"Sister, hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to test this pill, if the pill is not poisonous, then things will be troublesome." Le Fei couldn't laugh, if the pill that she worked so hard to get didn't contain the medicine that would harm the prince, I'm afraid The medicine had already been brought into the East Palace by Mrs. Liu.

The queen naturally understands Concubine Le's concerns. If there is no such ingredient in the medicine, then she and Concubine Le are thinking wrong. Mrs. Liu used other methods to prescribe the medicine to the prince. If the source of the medicine cannot be found, the prince She would still continue to be harmed by the medicine, and she and Concubine Le might be in catastrophe soon.

Mrs. Liu accompanied the crown princess back to the East Palace, and hinted that the crown princess would send everyone away. The crown princess knew that this was because her mother had something private to say to her, so she obediently dismissed the maids and servants in the palace.

"Daughter, the Empress Dowager seems to be suspicious of you. Did you accidentally reveal something and let her find out!" Mrs. Liu said worriedly while holding the Crown Princess' hand after the hall was empty.

When the princess heard the words, she suddenly felt confused: "Mother, what are you talking about, why can't I understand, what can the queen find out!"

Mrs. Liu frowned slightly, and said with a confused and worried expression: "Although the medicine we gave the prince was light, the queen is so shrewd, and the prince is suddenly not close to women, can she not doubt it! I gave it to you To make Baotai pills, I went to a pharmacy to buy medicinal materials. Later, the shopkeeper in the pharmacy sent someone to the house to tell me that after I left, there was a man with a high-pitched voice, heavy makeup, and always fond of pointing at orchids to inquire about the medicinal materials I bought. This is a characteristic unique to eunuchs, and after thinking about it, only the queen can do this."

The Crown Princess was startled when she heard the words, she unconsciously said with her hands on her flat stomach: "Mother, we must not let the queen find out anything, otherwise my daughter will undoubtedly die."

"Don't worry, mother will never let you have trouble. Now you have finally conceived this child. This child is the hope of our Liu family in the future. Even if mother puts her life to death, she will protect you and the child in her belly." You're safe and well." Holding the hand of the Crown Princess, Mrs. Liu said firmly.

With the protection of her mother, the princess immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, with your words, my daughter is not afraid of anything."

Mrs. Liu nodded, comforted the Crown Princess a few more words, and then told the Crown Princess how to use the Baotai Pill. After explaining everything that should be explained, Mrs. Liu left the palace.

The queen learned from the imperial physician in the afternoon that the pill is indeed an excellent anti-pregnancy pill, and the ingredients in the pill do not have the extra flavor in the prince's body-replenishing decoction. The queen and Concubine Le were very emotional when they heard the news Depressed, busy for nothing, all previous suspicions were wrong, how can we not let them down!

Two days later, Li Yi sent someone to invite Li Meiying to enter the palace, Li Meiying did not ask about the situation, and went into the palace with Yunyu and Qing'er, the servant who invited Li Meiying to the palace took Li Meiying to the palace. Sister-in-law brought her to Fenglin Palace, and when she saw the queen, Li-sister-in-law did not salute, and the queen had also heard about Li-sister-in-law's domineering deeds in the Daxin royal family, so naturally she would not have a confrontation with Li-sister-in-law because of trivial matters of etiquette. Shit, after waiting for Li Meiying to take her seat, she said cordially: "Xiaoer, I haven't seen you for many years, I never thought that you are so beautiful now."

Li Meizhen smiled faintly, looked at the queen and said indifferently: "I don't know what the emperor's uncle invited me into the palace, why did I go to Fenglin Hall instead of the Imperial Study?"

The queen didn't expect Li Sister-in-law to speak so impolitely to her. She was startled, and with a forced smile on her face, she said: "My lord asked me to take out the clothes and beloved things of the emperor's brother and sister-in-law, and let them This palace will be handed over to you, my son-in-law, for your funeral."

Li Sister-in-law finally showed a cold smile on her face when she heard the words: "Uncle Huang has a heart, and I have to trouble Auntie to worry about it. Uncle Huang and Auntie are so kind. I believe that the spirits of father and mother will also be very grateful to you, and I will bless you all in the best way." .”

After hearing Li Meiying's words, the Queen felt a chill in her heart, and a chill came up her back. She pulled her collar unnaturally, and forced a smile, "I just tried my best, and I dare not Extravagantly asking for the gratitude of the emperor's brother and his wife."
