Resourceful beauty

Chapter 321 Fainting
Chu Yuan came back at dawn the next day, his face was gloomy and tired, and it looked like he hadn't slept all night.

When Fang Ruxuan opened her eyes, she saw him leaning against the head of the bed and dozed off. She was afraid that she would wake him up if she moved. Fang Ruxuan lay quietly, but as soon as she turned over, Chu Yuan opened her eyes, showing that she was not asleep. .

"Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Fang Ruxuan got up and moved inward.

He was about to shake his head, but seeing Fang Ruxuan like this, Chu Yuan got up and lay down, turned around and took Fang Ruxuan into his arms.

Just when Fang Ruxuan thought that Chu Yuan was going to fall asleep, Chu Yuan's tired voice came from beside her ear, "Qin Yuan is telling me that my father took too much Wushisan, and then indulged/desire Excessive, that's why I passed out."

Fang Ruxuan wouldn't be surprised if it was just excessive indulgence, but Wushi San really surprised people.

"Where did the five stone powder come from?"

Fang Ruxuan quickly grasped the key point.

Chu Yuan sighed, "Even Li Sheng didn't know about it. If you think about it, you can't escape the relationship with those two nobles. However, the Queen's side interrogated them all night, and those two people bit them to death and didn't let go, saying that they didn't bring Wushi powder." Go to Qian'an Hall, and they don't know that the father is smoking Wushisan."

"Then, is the father awake?"

Fang Ruxuan felt a little distressed at the thought that Chu Yuan would have to go to court soon.

Chu Yuan sighed, "I woke up. After waking up, my spirits became better. It seemed that I was afraid that we would ask about what happened last night. Because we had something to do, we drove me and King Yong out. The queen is in Qian'an Hall."

"Then, does the Queen Mother know?"

Whether it is Wushi San or excessive indulgence, Chu Yuan is hard to say as a son. Even Queen Zhou, who has to take into account the face of King Yao, dare not say too much. The huge harem can speak now Yes, only the Empress Dowager Lou.

Chu Yuan was silent for a long time before opening his mouth, "The incident happened suddenly last night. I was afraid of disturbing the queen mother, so no one went to pass it on. After the father woke up, he repeatedly told the queen not to use this matter to disturb the queen mother. Still don't know."

Although it was also for the good of the Empress Dowager Lou, King Yao's attitude was that while he didn't want to make things big, he probably didn't think it was important.

If he doesn't take it seriously, then this kind of thing will happen for the first time, maybe the second time will not be far away.

At this moment, Fang Ruxuan felt helpless in her heart, and wanted to persuade Chu Yuan, but she didn't know where to start.

After only lying down for a cup of tea, Chu Yuan got up, washed and changed his clothes, had breakfast with Fang Ruxuan, and then hurriedly walked towards Yiyuan Hall.

There are five stones scattered first, and then there is excessive indulgence/desire, which is not a glorious thing. Therefore, in the matter of King Yao fainting last night, apart from Chu Yuan and other princes, only Queen Zhou and a few people around him, the courtiers It's all unknown.

However, if things go on like this for a long time, if King Yao goes wrong a few more times, everyone's eyes will be fixed on Chu Yuan.

After all, before Chu Yuan ascended to the reserve position, King Yao was in good health, but the fainting happened after King Yao handed over all the court affairs to Chu Yuan. If you want to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, there will definitely be unstoppable rumors in Shangyang City.

Knowing that this matter should not be sloppy, Fang Ruxuan summoned Sangsan and asked her to pass a message to Mu Mian to check the channel of Wushisan flowing into the inner palace from outside the palace.

If someone hadn't entrained them privately, the Imperial Hospital would have the courage to prepare five stone powder for King Yao, so they could only find a way from outside the palace.

Fang Ruxuan could only think of Concubine Fang, Yu and Rou, two nobles, but these three people had no contact with the outside of the palace, who would take such a risk to bring Wushisan to them?

But other than them, Fang Ruxuan really couldn't think of anyone else.

When she came to Fengming Palace to pay her respects, Queen Zhou's face was solemn, but she couldn't see it unless she looked carefully.

All the people in the audience, except Concubine Han Gui and the Fourth Concubine who had different expressions, must have gotten the news through their own means, but the other concubines didn't know about it, and they were happily talking about the upcoming New Year's Eve.

Coming out of Fengming Palace, Fang Ruxuan was hesitating whether to go to Qian'an Hall to greet King Yao, when she saw Concubine Han winking at her, "Go back."

The two walked slowly towards the East Palace. Concubine Han Guifei said softly: "Your Majesty has been taking Wushisan for some years. In the past, I did it occasionally to refresh myself when the government affairs were busy. I'm afraid someone instigated it this year, so addicted to smoking."

This time, Fang Ruxuan was really surprised.

"Then why doesn't Eunuch Li know anything about it?"

Li Sheng is the closest person to King Yao. I am afraid that there is no one who does not know about the matters related to King Yao. However, when he got up early, Chu Yuan said that Li Sheng did not know either. Through other people's hands, did Li Sheng get into Qian'an Temple?

Concubine Han shook her head, "I just know that the king has taken five stone powder before, but I really don't know how the five stone powder got into the palace and got into the king's hands."

"Looking at the appearance of the queen, she doesn't seem to care much, tell me, don't you..."

Fang Ruxuan didn't finish her words, but Concubine Han was slightly taken aback, and her complexion became serious in an instant.

In this palace, if there is anyone who can do something without being discovered, except for King Yao, I am afraid it will be Queen Zhou.

If Queen Zhou was involved in this matter, and Concubine Han Gui didn't notice it, it would be perfectly normal.

And the purpose of Queen Zhou's doing so is not difficult to imagine.

Although Chu Yuan was the crown prince, if there were other edicts before the death of King Yao, then he, the crown prince, would not be able to count. If Queen Zhou had this idea, then it is reasonable for her not to panic. bingo.

"Aren't you worried?"

Seeing that Fang Ruxuan had guessed it, but there was no trace of nervousness on her face, Concubine Han Guifei asked a little funny.

Fang Ruxuan shook her head calmly, "I trust Your Highness."

Concubine Han smiled comfortably, with a look of pride on her face.

After sitting in the Hall of Xuanyi for a while, hearing Brother Ming call "Grandmother" clumsily, the corners of Concubine Han's eyes and brows were filled with unspeakable joy.

Several people were talking, and after a while, Ding Xiang came in to reply, saying that Concubine Fang was going to pay her respects at Qian'an Hall, but was kicked out by King Yao.

"Although the matter has already happened, it is disgraceful, and the king can't cover it up. Therefore, even if we know it, we should pretend not to know it. Otherwise, the loss outweighs the gain if we flatter the horse's leg."

Concubine Han told Fang Ruxuan, "I guess you know what's going on in Prince Yong's mansion. So, this year, I'm afraid it won't be so peaceful. Everything will happen with the crown prince outside, so you can rest assured." Have your baby in the East Palace, don't worry about other things, remember?"

Fang Ruxuan knew that Queen Zhou, Concubine Fang and Concubine Yong's calculations were due to paying special attention to Concubine Fang's side, and it was because of the meaning of Concubine Fang's words, it seemed that she had already Knowing that, Fang Ruxuan became more afraid to be careless, and nodded meekly in response.

After seeing Concubine Han Gui away, Fang Ruxuan felt melancholy when she returned to the inner hall.

If King Yao does not repent, the fainting will happen for the first time, and then there will be the second and third times. The fire cannot be contained in the paper. Well, when the time comes, people in the world will not criticize King Yao, but will think whether Chu Yuan, the crown prince, is not satisfied with the status quo and wants to take the throne ahead of time.

When the time comes, Chu Yuan will be full of mouth, so he can't speak clearly.

Therefore, the most urgent task is how to control the situation and arrange everything in advance.If the matter on King Yao's side cannot be completely resolved, then one has to think about how to deal with it in case the situation becomes uncontrollable and turn the disadvantages into advantages.

Fang Ruxuan could even imagine that now, King Yong, King Xuan and King Rui are probably more happy than sad in their hearts?
And the only one who really cared about King Yao's body was Chu Yuan.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at Laba.

On the surface, everyone pretended to be ignorant about King Yao's fainting, but secretly, it was widely spread, and everyone in the palace knew about it.

There are often wives who come to the palace to pay their respects. Some of the courtiers have already known about it.

Xu didn't want people in Shangyang City to guess about his physical condition, so before Queen Zhou asked for instructions, King Yao issued an order that the palace banquet in Laba must be grand.

Therefore, on the day of Laba, when the courtiers and their families attended the banquet, they saw King Yao smiling and in good spirits.

Although there were thousands of guesses in my heart, it was not as good as what I saw with my own eyes. For a while, the courtiers were relieved, only Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan looked at each other, their eyes were full of worries.

She was pregnant and worried that it would be unsafe on the road when it was dark. Not long after the banquet started, Chu Yuan asked Mulberry and Mulberry Ye to serve Fang Ruxuan back to the East Palace.

There was a lot of wine in the hall, King Yao and Queen Zhou seemed to have forgotten what happened that day, and they talked with courtiers and wives in a pleasant manner.

Seeing that Queen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief secretly, Chu Yuan's eyes darkened and disappeared in a flash. He raised his head and drank a glass of wine in one gulp.

The wine flowed down his throat, and from the softness at the beginning, it turned into scorching heat in a moment. Chu Yuan gripped the wine glass and made up his mind instantly.

I thought that if this incident happened, Lord Yu and Lord Rou would be severely punished, but when I went to Fengming Palace to pay my respects, I saw those two people following the other nobles with low eyebrows, and the Queen of Zhou just played it lightly After she reprimanded her, Fang Ruxuan became more and more certain in her heart that Queen Zhou knew about King Yao's smoking of five stone powder early in the morning and acquiesced.

After exchanging a knowing look with Concubine Han, Fang Ruxuan already had a calculation in her heart.

The next day, Kapok entered the palace and brought news of Wushisan.
