Chapter 44 Trap Trap Trap
Feng Xihe turned his head to look, and saw a woman wearing a smoky white silk gauze gown, with a six-leaf palace flower on her complicated bun, walked in from the outside surrounded by several palace maids. From her pomp, one could tell that she was a concubine who was greatly favored.

Zhao Guifei has a beautiful face and is well maintained, like a 13-year-old girl.She is the eldest daughter of Marquis Wu'an, and since entering the palace, she has been favored unabated.After the snow disaster last year, Emperor Changde also demanded that all the concubines in the harem should be kept simple, but there was an exception for this empress. For a box of rouge she wanted, he sent people to go outside the Great Wall to pick red and blue grass, and for She likes to eat a mouthful of sweet crisps, which made people rush to Nanyi area to invite the most famous cook.

Perhaps because of her relationship, the Marquis of Wu'an became even more popular.

Concubine Zhao walked up to the Empress Dowager, finished her salute, and said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, my concubine's father went outside the customs some time ago and brought back some rare medicines, and my concubine brought some here for the Empress Dowager today."

From the moment she came in, she seemed to have only the Queen Mother in her almond eyes, and she didn't notice the other people present at all.The arrogance and pride that a beloved concubine should have were all taken up by her.

"Sit down." The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes slightly, let her sit down on a golden nanmu chair in front, and then asked the palace servants beside her to accept the gift she brought.

After Concubine Zhao sat down, she noticed Feng Xihe who was sitting diagonally across from her.Her pair of jade hands had long nails, embedded with gemstones of various colors. When the jade hands lightly covered her lips, they matched her starry eyes.

"It turns out that Miss Feng is also here today, sorry for my poor eyesight, I didn't see it just now."

Feng Xihe smiled without being rude, "Your Majesty is serious, how dare Xihe blame your Majesty. Besides, Xihe is not the protagonist today, but came to serve as a foil for the third cousin. Your Majesty may not know that the third cousin is proficient in Buddhism. , and is good at tea art, after drinking her tea, I don't want to drink tea made by others anymore."

Speaking of which, she and Concubine Zhao are still distant relatives, before entering the palace, she liked walking with her the most.She didn't think so much before, but now she realizes that as long as she is ugly and rude, Concubine Zhao will be more beautiful and elegant in the eyes of others.Yun Changyi used to love walking with her the most, partly because of this.

No matter at what time, Concubine Zhao Gui never saw other women who were more brilliant than herself, especially Yun Changyi, whose family background was not as good as hers, but who received more attention than herself, she couldn't see it even more.

In the past, she was not used to Yun Changyi. A few days ago, she heard that Yun Changyi's second younger sister was also carried into Zhao's residence as Zhao Wuyong's concubine. Now, a little-known little sister Yun appeared, She couldn't bear it even more.

Hearing this, her eyes sharpened immediately, and she turned to look at Xiaomei Yun, "This girl is the third younger sister of Anle County Lord? I haven't seen it among the ladies in Jinling yet. But, can you The queen mother is full of praise, he must be a stunning person. Come, let me drink a cup of your tea."

After hearing this, Yun Xiaomei wasn't unhappy at all. Of course she couldn't let Concubine Zhao Gui go by herself, so she took the initiative to pour a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

"I'm not thirsty now. If I'm thirsty, I'll make tea myself." Concubine Zhao took the tea, but just put it aside, slightly frowned, and said to the maid beside her, "An'er, there seems to be a lot of tea behind the palace's bedroom. You have a pheasant nest, and you will have someone dig it later, and the provincial Bengong hears the crowing of pheasants every day, and is upset."

"Your Majesty, where did you get the pheasant nest?" The palace maid was at a loss.

Concubine Zhao's voice suddenly became louder, and the emerald and glazed tinsel on her head hung down, swaying, "I tell you to go, you go, why so much nonsense? Do you still expect golden phoenixes to fly out of the pheasant's nest?" No?"

"Your servant obeys." The palace maid understood, glanced at Xiaomei Yun, and immediately went down shaking her body.

Xiaomei Yun stood in front of her, obviously a little unhappy to be stimulated by her words, but she still didn't attack.

The Empress Dowager's complexion suddenly sank, and Concubine Zhao actually scolded the female guest she invited in front of her!
If it wasn't for Emperor Changde, she would have been unable to tolerate Concubine Zhao Gui long ago.However, Concubine Zhao noticed her expression, stepped forward quickly, and said softly: "Queen Mother, my concubine has recently learned a new method of brewing needle feathers, and even Your Majesty has praised my concubine. How about I give it to you?" Make a pot."

As she said that, she glanced at Xiaoyun Xiayun again, "By the way, it also allows some people to have self-knowledge, and don't think that others are as low-class as her and can be fooled casually."

The queen mother's frown deepened, she waved her hand a little irritably, agreeing to make tea.

Concubine Zhao arrogantly asked the palace servants to take down Xiaomei Yun's tea set and replace it with her own.She poured hot water into the water bowl, and while turning her ten fingers, the movements seemed natural. After eighteen steps, a pot of tea with pleasant needle feathers was brewed.

"Please, Queen Mother." Concubine Zhao proudly handed a purple sand teacup to the Queen Mother, with anticipation in her eyes.

But the Queen Mother took a small sip, and didn't say yes or no.

Concubine Zhao didn't bother with her, instead she poured a few other cups and asked her court lady to send them to other people present. The princesses drank it, but they didn't dare to say it was bad, they could only keep boasting .

"Miss Feng, Your Majesty invites you to drink some tea." At this moment, the maid who delivered the tea walked around to Feng Xihe.

Zhao Guifei asked someone to bring her tea?Feng Xihe thanked him, but after taking the teacup, he just lowered his eyelashes and touched the rim of the cup with his lips, but he didn't really drink it.

After a while, after drinking tea, the queen mother also felt that she had been disturbed by concubine Zhao Guifei for too long, and wanted to find a reason to see off the guests, so she looked at Feng Xihe and said, "Xihe, bring your wonderful medicine to the Ai family. Yet?"

"Empress Dowager, please wait a moment." Feng Xihe nodded and signaled Qian Yun to take out the medicine bottle. In fact, letting her personally deliver the medicine in the palace has an advantage, that is, the medicine will not pass through other people's hands, so as to avoid problems in the middle .

However, she always felt that the atmosphere today was a bit weird.

After the queen mother got the medicine, she was very curious when she saw the novelty bottle, and played with it and said, "It's true that the Ai family has never seen this kind of medicine."

When she said that, her eyelids seemed to be a little bit tight.

At this moment, Miss Yun suddenly spoke up, and said in confusion: "Coincidentally, elder sister also asked me to bring such medicine to the Queen Mother."

"The Lord of Anle County also wants to donate medicine to the Ai family?" The queen mother couldn't hide her doubts when she heard it, "Bring it to the Ai family to see."

Xiaomei Yun took out a bottle of medicine with the same appearance from her sleeve, and handed it to the old lady next to the queen mother. After the old lady got the imperial doctor to try it, she confirmed that there was no problem with the two bottles.

All the people present were puzzled, and Concubine Zhao also jokingly said: "Your cousins ​​are really one-hearted, and even thought of delivering medicine together."

However, the Empress Dowager can only drive Concubine Zhao away now, and doesn't have that much thought to worry about the two bottles of medicine.

"The family is exhausted, you should go back first." She rubbed her forehead with her hand, her eyelids slowly drooped, she seemed to be really sleepy.

Seeing this, the other princesses also left one after another.

However, Concubine Zhao did not leave, instead she followed and asked the Queen Mother to enter the inner room, "Queen Mother, can this concubine serve you personally to administer the medicine?"

Then, she asked the old mother who was supporting the queen mother to get the handkerchief, so as not to let the medicine spray on the queen mother's clothes.

Concubine Zhao followed the queen mother into the inner room, and she also wanted to personally administer medicine for the queen mother?Moreover, the Queen Mother looked as if she was really going to sleep.Feng Xihe had more doubts in his heart.

Seeing that the nanny next to the queen mother was about to be dismissed, Feng Xihe suddenly became vigilant, and quickly went through the whole thing in his mind. After Qianyun was injured, Aunt Wanqiu introduced Yun to her. Changyi's Baiyao, after she asked Yinzhu to bring it, Gu Jincheng came to the door and said that she would let her enter the palace to offer the medicine to the Queen Mother.At that time, after Yinzhu surrendered to her, she showed her flaws again.

All of this was too much of a coincidence, she remembered Xia Haiyan said that all the coincidences add up and it is no longer a coincidence.

Although when she was in the mansion, she asked Yuanying to exchange the Baiyao that had been exchanged by Yinzhu back, but when she got here, seeing Zhao Guifei's weird way of doing this, she had to think again.

With a sound of "Pa-ta--", Feng Xihe's eyes lit up, and suddenly he dropped the teacup, pushed Qian Yun, and pushed Qian Yun to the door of the hall.Then, regardless of the obstruction of the palace people, she wanted to break into the inner room.

Gu Jincheng!
Yinzhu secretly changed the medicine bottle, but it was just a cover-up to make her let go of her guard, mistakenly thinking that Yun Changyi just wanted her to give the queen mother a defective medicine bottle, and after she was exposed, she could be put to death.

In fact, Concubine Zhao is the real dark chess piece!

Marquis of Wu'an worked for Gu Jincheng, Concubine Zhao was from the Marquis of Wu'an, so no matter how much she disliked the sisters of the Yun family, she had to follow the wishes of the family.

The two bottles of medicine she and Yun Xiaomei took out just now were all right, but Concubine Zhao put sleep-promoting medicine into the Queen Mother's tea, sent the others away, and followed the Queen Mother into the inner room.During the period, even if Concubine Zhao had tampered with one of the bottles of medicine, no one knew, and when the Queen Mother woke up, Concubine Zhao would just do what she said.

At that time, even Feng Jing will not be able to protect her.

Moreover, Concubine Zhao was taunting Miss Yun just now, everyone would think that Concubine Zhao and Miss Yun were at odds, and would not feel that Concubine Zhao was favoring anyone.

A sharp light flashed in Feng Xihe's eyes, and he scoffed coldly in his heart, Gu Jincheng, how much did I make you think highly of me, and I used such a big pawn.

As soon as Qian Yun arrived at the door, she opened her throat and shouted: "Catch the assassin..."

It's just that before she finished shouting, someone ran over and covered her mouth.

Feng Xihe picked up a few other water glasses and threw them at Concubine Zhao who was walking forward, "The ground is wet and slippery, mother, be careful!"

Concubine Zhao Gui was shocked by her sudden action, she was just stunned for a moment, and then she saw Feng Xihe had already jumped in front of her.

"Presumptuous, you actually threw a tea cup at me!"

Feng Xihe turned his head and looked. There was no movement behind the curtain. The queen mother did not respond to such a loud voice outside. It seemed that her guess was correct.

She turned to Concubine Zhao and said sharply: "Your Majesty is delicate and expensive, Xihe is afraid that if you are not careful, your hands and feet will be broken."

"If Your Majesty still wants to play the piano and dance for His Majesty in the future, it's best to go back to your own palace now, as if you haven't seen anything before!"
