Resourceful beauty

Chapter 343
"If Concubine Fang knows that the medicine is fake, I don't know if she will tear herself apart with the Queen."

In the inner hall of Xuanyi Hall, Fang Ruxuan said guessingly.

Chu Yuan shook his head, "Now the two are grasshoppers on the same rope. No matter who causes a disaster, the other person is bound to be implicated. At that time, the chaos will be turned upside down, and no one will be able to please. Therefore, Concubine Fang is not happy. Yes, the queen will naturally not."

"Since no, why did you give Concubine Fang a bottle of fake medicine?"

Fang Ruxuan looked puzzled.

The bottle of medicine that Queen Zhou gave to Concubine Fang was sent out of the palace by Kapok that night. However, after Mrs. Hua tried the medicine, she told Kapok with a disappointed face, saying that the bottle of medicine was not an antidote at all, but at most it was Qinggan Ming. For the purpose of nourishing the stomach and invigorating the spleen, it is only for nourishing and has no effect of detoxification.

"Perhaps, the queen doesn't have the antidote, but she has to appease Concubine Fang, so she can only take the risk. After all, the queen doesn't know if Concubine Fang has been poisoned like her father. , when Concubine Fang broke the boat and went to ask for the antidote, Queen Zhou had no choice but to do so."

While talking, Chu Yuan looked back at Fang Ruxuan and asked, "Could it be that we really guessed wrong, and this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Jing?"

After knowing the past between Concubine Tian and Concubine Jing, everything that followed was just Fang Ruxuan's guesswork. Now that Chu Yuan asked this question, Fang Ruxuan had no answer.

However, what Concubine Tian said before she died gave Fang Ruxuan a little inspiration, "Tell me, what exactly is it that Concubine Tian gave to Concubine Jing? Or, what the Queen is clutching in her hand was given to Concubine Jing by Concubine Tian back then, and this time, it was a play directed and performed by the Queen herself from beginning to end, and has nothing to do with Concubine Jing?"

It was precisely because Concubine Jing knew how to make incense, and King Yao was poisoned all at once because of the mixture of several kinds of incense, so Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan focused their attention on Concubine Jing.

If these things are not owned by Concubine Jing, but are in the hands of Queen Zhou, everything seems to make sense.

Fang Ruxuan had been wondering before how Concubine Jing and Concubine Fang reached an agreement on this matter. After all, one of them supported King Yong and the other supported King Rui. Come to an agreement to do the same thing.

After all, if the matter is exposed, it will be of no benefit to anyone if the involvement is too wide. Therefore, with the cautious temperament of these women, they will not take such a big risk.

"If it's really in the hands of Queen Zhou, then it's really necessary to check out Fengming Palace."

Said in a deep voice, Chu Yuan seemed to have an idea in mind.

Waking up early the next day, Chu Yuan was still in the Yiyuan Hall, and there was news from the Qian'an Hall that King Yao passed out again.

This time, not only Queen Zhou, but also Queen Mother Lou rushed to Qian'an Palace.

It seemed that she no longer had the mood to scold Queen Zhou. Queen Mother Lou sat on the side of the bed and cried tears. King Yao, who woke up from time to time, saw that he felt guilty and blamed himself. In the end, it was Concubine Han Gui and Concubine Liu Ning. Ren softly comforted her, and then let the Empress Dowager Lou go back to Shouchang Palace.

King Yao's complexion was not different from the previous few days, but his weak tone when speaking made people feel as if he would let go in the next moment.

This time, Queen Zhou seemed worried that no one would be there to serve her, so she changed into the plain clothes she usually wears and guarded Qian'an Hall herself.

That night, Mu Mian sneaked into Fengming Palace and went to the inner hall.

The next day, Kapok re-entered the palace, still looking disappointed, "Mrs. Hua said, those few incense, paired with dragon birthday incense, inhaled for a long time, will indeed cause these symptoms that the king has now. If If you continue to use it, over time, you will exhaust your energy and blood, and the lamp will dry up. However, there is no antidote in the things that are brought out."

So, Queen Zhou really has no antidote in her hands.

Seeing that Fang Ruxuan was a little discouraged, Mu Mian stepped forward to comfort him: "Miss, don't worry too much. After all, the king has stayed away from the poisonous gas. In time, Mrs. Hua will definitely be able to prepare a good prescription to detoxify the king."

Now, I can only comfort myself like this.

Fang Ruxuan thought sadly.

On the other side of the Lanyue Pavilion, perhaps the poisoning was not serious. After a few days, Concubine Fang's original symptoms gradually disappeared, and she regained her former refreshment, and went to Fengming Palace to pay her respects every day.

On the other hand, Mrs. Ming, her condition did not improve at all after the high fever, and she was still bedridden. Seeing that she was sick for a longer time than Concubine Fang, Concubine Fang was sure that Queen Zhou really gave her the antidote, so she could be so fast. Turned the corner and finally let go.

King Yao's fainting didn't last for a few days this time, but Queen Zhou was by his side. One day, she washed her hands and made soup and cooked a few dishes by herself. Fengming Palace greeted her, and found that the smile on Queen Zhou's face seemed to be much more than usual.

The matter of King Yong's vassal was mentioned once in the court, but King Yong said sadly that King Yao was unwell, and his uneasy behavior as a son and minister was postponed indefinitely.

It has been more than half a month since King Ping arrived in Mozhou, and now all matters are being successfully taken over, and Lizhou also sent back a message a few days ago, saying that King Rui has arrived, only Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan knew about it, King Rui himself Still stranded in Cangzhou, the one who arrived in Lizhou was just a substitute of King Rui.

King Xuan, who was going to the fiefdom, got the news that King Yao had fainted within a few days after leaving Shangyang City. Afterwards, King Xuan handed over the booklet and asked the prince to allow him to hold back temporarily and wait for King Yao to recover.

Chu Yuan pressed but did not speak, at the other end, King Xuan really did not move forward, and now the people and horses have been stationed in place, and it has been about ten years.

Looking at the current situation, it looked as if troops were about to fight hand-to-hand. Although Fang Ruxuan was a little nervous, she couldn't help but laugh in a flash.

The actions of King Rui and King Xuan were just delaying time, and King Yong was the last struggle. Now they thought they were smart, but Chu Yuan was in control. If they drag it on, they will still be the ones who will suffer in the end. Instead of Chu Yuan.

Thinking about it this way, Fang Ruxuan no longer pays attention to things outside, she should eat and sleep every day, and tease Brother Ming in her free time. The boring confinement life is not as boring as imagined .

On the other side of Mrs. Hua, she is still carefully developing the prescription to detoxify King Yao. Kapok goes in and out of the palace every day, reporting the slightest progress outside. Fang Ruxuan knows that Chu Yuan is anxious, but she can't help him. She can only drag out a pair of children. Come, let Chu Yuan forget his troubles temporarily.

In a blink of an eye, it was Qingming.

"I plan to send my father to the palace to raise him, and my father agreed."

After returning from offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Chu Yuan's coat was already wet by the rain, he changed his clothes and went back to lie down on the bed, Chu Yuan held Fang Ruxuan's hand and said softly.

"Out of the palace?"

In just a moment, Fang Ruxuan understood what Chu Yuan meant.

There are many scruples in the palace, even if Chu Yuan wants to do something, it is extremely difficult. When he leaves the palace, even if Queen Zhou and others will secretly send someone to watch him, with Chu Yuan's ability, he can do something to deceive others. I'm afraid it's easy.

Besides, after leaving the palace, the famous doctor Chu Yuan found was there to diagnose and treat the poison in King Yao's body as soon as possible, which was much better than being imprisoned in the palace.

"I'm afraid that the queen mother and the queen will not agree easily."

Fang Ruxuan said hesitantly.

If it was a normal day, King Yao didn't need to manage politics and wanted to go to the palace to rest and relax, everyone would definitely agree.But now it's a very rare opportunity, Empress Dowager Lou is worried about her son, and Queen Zhou even has an unknown purpose, wishing to keep an eye on King Yao for twelve hours a day, so as to wait for the moment when he dies, let me ask, at such a time , How could they agree to King Yao going out of the palace?
Chu Yuan smiled, and said disapprovingly: "Since that's the case, wouldn't it be good to let the queen go with me?"

"Why would the Queen Mother agree?"

The questioning words blurted out, and Fang Ruxuan understood Chu Yuan's thoughts in an instant.

The Empress Dowager Lou and the Queen Zhou had always disliked each other, and they had fought openly and secretly to greet each other so many times over the years, but because of their respective identities, they didn't make a fuss about it.

King Yao will have today, and Empress Dowager Lou is full of complaints about Queen Zhou. This time, if Queen Zhou is worried and wants to go with her, Empress Lou will not let it go.

If these two people have gone, restricting each other, with Chu Yuan's arrangements, their control over Yao Wang's side will inevitably be weaker, as long as there is an opportunity, Chu Yuan will definitely not let it go. With so many pairs of eyes staring at the palace, it has been much better.

If these two people don't go, they will choose someone they trust to go with them. When the time comes, the person who will accompany them will probably be Concubine Han or Fourth Concubine.

If it is Concubine Han, then needless to say, if it is the fourth concubine, no matter who it is, Chu Yuan has a way to make them blind and not find anything.

Therefore, after some weighing, Chu Yuan's idea is really the best he can do so far.

In Qian'an Hall, under the careful care of Queen Zhou, King Yao's complexion is getting better day by day.

After lunch, King Yao lay on the soft couch, silently looking at Queen Zhou who was cooking tea for him, and there was a little warmth in his cloudy eyes.

After brewing the tea, she raised her eyes and met King Shangyao's gaze. Queen Zhou smiled softly, walked forward and sat on the side of the bed, and asked softly, "Why does Your Majesty look at your concubine like this?"

"I've worked hard for you all these years..."

King Yao's words made Queen Zhou's eyes wet instantly, "Concubines don't work hard. Without the king, how could concubines be where they are today? Concubines never regret nor complain."

With a deep sigh, King Yao stretched out his hand to hold Queen Zhou's hand, "I have thought a lot these days, but the more I think, the more I owe you."

Queen Zhou shook her head, feeling that there were so many words in her heart that she couldn't speak.

"I don't know how much time is left. Now, every day can only be passed as the last day. I want to go to the palace. You can go with me, okay? Just the two of us."

King Yao looked up at Queen Zhou and asked softly.

There were surprises, but more surprises. After hesitating for a long time, Queen Zhou nodded.
