Queen Xiaozhuang's personal maid: Su Malagu

Chapter 40
(3)

After Su Mo'er heard Yan'er's words, although she was surprised and a little scared at the time, but on the way back to Yongfu Palace after breaking up with Yan'er, she gradually calmed down, and even made up her mind, thinking that this matter was a big deal. Maybe it can stop Concubine Chen from wanting Fulin.

Su Mo'er was thinking along the way, should she tell Bumbutai about this.If I told her, I was afraid that she would be worried, but if I didn't tell, I was afraid that something might happen to my plan.

In the end, Su Mo'er decided to talk to Bumbutai after dealing with it.

One afternoon a few days later, Su Mo'er got a note from under a tree outside Yongfu Palace, which was written by Yan'er: "Qing'er, Xu Shi."

"What does 'Qing'er, Xu Shi' mean?" Su Mo'er was a little confused.

Suddenly, Su Mo'er looked at the direction where the sun was setting, then hurried into the house and talked to Bumbutai, then turned and walked towards the residence of the Ninth Prince and the nanny.She quietly sneaked into the house, hid outside the window of the Ninth Prince's residence, and observed the inside.

In the room, the nurse was sitting on a chair, hugging Fulin and coaxing him to sleep.There was no sound in the room except for the soft murmur of the nanny.

As the sky gradually darkened, a little girl quietly walked into the room and lit the oil lamp.The nurse looked at Fulin who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and slowly stood up, put him on the bed, and lowered the curtain.

Su Mo'er stared out the window until her eyes became sore, and she was about to close her eyes to take a rest, when she suddenly saw the little girl rushing in, whispering something to the nanny.When the nurse heard this, she hurried out.

When Su Mo'er was thinking about what happened, she saw Concubine Chen and Mingzhu walking into the room led by the nanny.Concubine Chen walked slowly to the side of the bed, staring blankly at Fulin who was sleeping soundly.

"Thanks to the Concubine Chen, the Ninth Prince slept very well, and the concubine Chen gave me the tonic, and the servant also ate it, the milk is abundant, and the Ninth Prince is very healthy!" The nanny smiled apologetically and whispered.

Hai Lanzhu smiled at the nurse, and glanced at Mingzhu, who put a bottle in her hand on the table.

"This is for the Ninth Prince. The Emperor asked someone to bring it from the Ming Dynasty royal family. It was originally for the Eighth Prince of the Palace..." Hai Lanzhu said this, and the circles of his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Thank you, Concubine Chen, this slave will definitely feed the Ninth Prince." The nanny said hastily.

"Just add a little to the porridge the Ninth Prince eats." Ming Zhu instructed her.

"The servant has remembered the words of Concubine Chen and Miss Mingzhu." The nanny kept nodding.

"And these are for you to eat, and they are also eaten by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty." Mingzhu gave another package to the nanny, and the nanny happily accepted it.

When the few people were about to leave, Hai Lanzhu suddenly turned to the nanny and said, "Don't call him the Ninth Prince, but the Eighth Prince. He is the Eighth Prince of my palace."

The nanny was taken aback.

"Didn't you hear what Concubine Chen said? From now on, the Eighth Prince will follow Concubine Chen." Ming Zhu whispered.

"Good! Good! Eighth prince! Eighth prince!" the nanny said hastily.

"Also, don't let people from Yongfu Palace come to see the Eighth Prince, this is what the emperor said." Mingzhu said again.

The nanny kept nodding and agreed.Su Mo'er outside the window gritted her teeth angrily.After the nanny sent Concubine Chen and Mingzhu out, the room became quiet again.Su Mo'er rubbed her eyes, moved her sore legs, and pressed her eyes to the hole in the window again, finally seeing the person she was waiting for.

A smile appeared on her face, and she thought to herself, "Sure enough, it's here!"

The person who came was Qing'er, the personal maid of Concubine Shu of Yanqing Palace.Qing'er was brought over from her former husband's family - Lin Danhan's family when Concubine Batma Sushu married Huang Taiji.

Qing'er sneaked in quietly, and quickly poured a package of things into the bottle that Mingzhu brought for Fulin.

At this time, footsteps came from outside, and Qing'er hurriedly hid under Fulin's bed.The nurse and a little girl came in.The little girl was holding a steaming small bowl, and Su Mo'er knew that it was porridge for the Ninth Prince.

The little girl put down the bowl and went out, the nanny happily opened the snack that Concubine Bao Chen gave her, and started to eat.Su Mo'er became anxious.If it happens at this time, it can prevent Fulin from eating poisonous food, and catch Qing'er who poisoned her, but the problem of Concubine Chen wanting the Ninth Prince is still not resolved.

Su Mo'er thought for a while, then slowly exited the window, hid behind a big tree at the door, then grabbed a stone and threw it towards the right door.

With a plop, the nanny in the room stood up suddenly, cursing and saying, "What are you doing? What should I do if I wake up the Ninth Prince?" Angrily, she walked towards the direction of the sound.

Qing'er, who just hid under the bed, quickly crawled out, and then ran out the door.Seeing that no one was paying attention, Su Moer also rushed into the room.She picked up Qing'er's poisoned bottle, and sprinkled a little of the powder inside on the snack that Mingzhu gave to the nanny, then grabbed a handful of ashes from the ground and sprinkled them into the small bowl of porridge.

Just after sprinkling, she heard the sound of the nurse outside the door scolding the little girl, and Su Moer hurriedly hid behind the door.

"Mommy, it must have been done by the stray cat!" said a little girl.

"Wild cat, why did the wild cat come in again? If you wake up the Ninth Prince, no, the Eighth Prince, you will not be able to sleep tonight." The nanny was talking, and the man had already entered, followed by two little girls.

The nanny saw the ashes in the small bowl of porridge, looked up at the roof, and said to the two maids, "Look at this porridge, it's covered in ashes again, go get another bowl."

The two girls hurriedly picked up the bowl of porridge and walked out.With her back to the door, the nurse sat back in the chair, picked up a piece of snack, and ate it with relish.

Su Mo'er slipped out the door quietly, hid by the window again, and observed the situation inside through the hole in the window.

Suddenly, Fulin on the bed began to cry. The nurse stood up and was about to walk to the bed when she felt dizzy and fell to the ground...

Su Mo'er returned to Yongfu Palace very late, and she went to Bumbutai's room first.Although it was completely dark, Bumbutai still sat by the window and looked outside quietly.Seeing Su Mo'er coming in, she just glanced at her with melancholy eyes.

Since Huang Taiji proposed to give Fulin to Concubine Chen, Bu Mu Butai has been worried all day long.

"Ma'am, the servant girl is back." Su Mo'er said.

"Have you seen Master Lu?" Bumbutai asked.

Su Mo'er smiled and said nothing.Before she went to the nanny's residence today, she told Bumbutai that she wanted to see Lu Qingyi and get some painting books.

Bumbutai knew about the relationship between Su Mo'er and Lu Qingyi.This affection reminded her of her relationship with Dorgon, so she agreed without hesitation, and asked them to chat more and come back later.

"Ma'am, are you still worried about the Ninth Prince?" Su Mo'er asked in a low voice.

Bumbutai sighed and said: "I heard that Concubine Chen's spirit is getting better and better! I am very scared, afraid that the emperor and queen will come over suddenly and tell me that I will give my son to Concubine Chen. The emperor is worried about Concubine Chen. Don't you worry about my body?" After Bumbutai finished speaking, the circles of his eyes were red again.

"Your Majesty, relax, the Emperor and Empress will not mention this matter again." Su Mo'er said mysteriously.

"This matter? What is it?" Although Bumbutai knew what Su Moer was talking about, he asked again.

"For the sake of the Ninth Prince, the Emperor and the Empress will not let the Ninth Prince be with the Concubine Chen. From now on, the empress can go to see the Ninth Prince as she did before." Su Mo'er said again.

"What?" Bumbutai looked surprised.

Su Mo'er clung to Bumbutai's ear, and told how she met Yan'er, how she received Yan'er's note, how she hid in the nanny's room, and what she saw.

Bumbutai's expression changed following what Su Mo'er told her.She was shocked by moments, terrified by moments, angry by moments, and delighted by moments.

"I didn't expect Concubine Shu to be such a vicious woman." Bumbutai said with a chill down his spine, and then asked: "Is the Ninth Prince okay?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Ninth Prince is fine."

"So... so, both the emperor and the queen will think that it was the concubine Chen who poisoned them?" Bumbutai asked in a low voice.

Su Mo'er smiled: "I may not believe it, but I will definitely not take any more risks."

Su Mo'er saw with her own eyes that the little girls found the nanny lying on the ground, and then screamed, and then saw the imperial doctor, concubine Chen and the queen rushing over.

"No one is allowed to spread this matter. If it spreads, someone will be killed by this Palace!" After ordering the servants, the empress asked the others to go out first, leaving only concubine Chen and the imperial physician behind.

After checking the nanny's body, the imperial doctor first asked people to carry her to another room, then prescribed a prescription for the medicine to be taken, and finally checked the snacks and the bottle of powdered things on the table.

"What's going on?" Zhe Zhe asked.

"Report to Empress Empress and Concubine Chen that the nanny is poisoned!"

"Poisoned?" The queen and concubine Chen were shocked.

"Yes, the nanny was poisoned after eating this snack, and there is also poisonous powder in this bottle." The imperial doctor said with certainty.

"Impossible! Impossible!" Concubine Chen turned blue with fright.

Empress Zhezhe stared at Concubine Chen: "What's impossible? What's going on?" She snapped.

"This... this... this is brought by the concubine, the concubine..." Before the concubine Chen could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the queen Zhezhe, who said to the imperial physician: "Go and see if the nanny has any nothing happened."

After the imperial physician saluted, and was about to leave, Empress Zhezhe said: "No word of this matter is allowed to be revealed, and no one will be left behind!"

The imperial physician repeatedly agreed and left the room.

"Empress, the concubine did not, the concubine really did not poison the concubine. The concubine loves the ninth prince so much, treats the ninth prince as the concubine's son and treats him as the eighth prince, how could he poison him? Your Majesty, The queen has already agreed to give him to the concubine. He is about to live with the concubine, how could the concubine poison him? No, he is the eighth prince of the concubine, how could the concubine have the heart to poison his son? No, no!"

Concubine Chen kept mumbling, somewhat incoherently.The more she behaved like this, the more Queen Zhezhe became suspicious of her.

"Didn't I tell you not to come during this time? Why do you..."

Empress Zhezhe looked at the panicked Concubine Chen and didn't say any more.She asked Mingzhu to take Concubine Chen back to Guanju Palace, and then said that she was going to meet the emperor.

……

After listening to what Su Moer said, Bumbutai was nervous and excited. She kept walking around the room.

"The emperor will... will... meet Concubine Chen... Concubine Chen..." Bumbutai stammered, her heart was very complicated.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Emperor will not do anything to Concubine Chen. If the Emperor loves Concubine Chen so much, he will definitely believe that Concubine Chen has not poisoned Concubine Chen." Su Mo'er said again.

"But, Your Majesty... If your Majesty believes that Concubine Chen has not poisoned her, she will definitely want my Ninth Prince." Bumbutai said hesitantly.

"Even if the emperor loves Concubine Chen again and doesn't even believe that Concubine Chen did this, he will not bet on his Ninth Prince again." Su Mo'er said with certainty.

Bumbutai thought for a while, then sneered: "Hmph! I am the biological mother of the Ninth Prince. No one came to inform me of something happened there! No one took me seriously."

"Your Majesty, you must be calm. Isn't it also said in the ancient military book? 'A little patience can lead to chaos!' In the harem, all we can do is to wait and see what happens. The emperor and queen will not talk to you about this matter. You just pretend not to know." Su Mo'er said.

"But Concubine Shu, she's so cruel, so let's just forget about it?" Bumbutai gritted his teeth involuntarily when he mentioned Batma 璪.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. After this incident, she will be stable for a while. At that time, we only need to reveal something about the sachet to the people around the noble concubine wooden clock, and the noble concubine wooden clock will treat her." Before Su Mo'er did this, she had already thought about how to make Concubine Shu pay the price.

Bumbutai looked at Su Mo'er, and held her hand tightly: "You know? You are my support now. If I didn't have you by my side, I really don't know how I would have survived all these years. So Over the years, many things have been solved only because of you."

As Bumbutai spoke, tears welled up.

Su Mo'er looked at Bumbutai emotionally: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about anything. From the first day you are with your Majesty, your slave's fate has been linked with your Majesty's. This slave will always be by your side. , don’t let anyone hurt your empress.”
