I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 162

In the next few days, life was very peaceful. Qu Lingxu gradually prepared all the things needed for the operation, while Qu Fengyan stayed in the Jinxiu Pavilion embroidering the purse to be presented to the queen, and only occasionally came to Jianjiayuan Zhong Tan took a look at Qu Lingxu's tone, but no matter how insinuating she asked, she always got an answer, that is, the gift that Qu Lingxu wanted to give was indeed the old pit jade head, nothing else.

Moreover, because the date of the army's expedition is only a few days before and after the Queen's Qianqiu Festival, in order to seek auspiciousness, the Queen specially went to the Palace of Qinzheng to ask the emperor to celebrate in advance.

The emperor doesn't dote on the queen very much, so naturally he doesn't care much about her affairs. Since there is such a reason, naturally there will be no objections, but in this way, those officials and wives who have not prepared the congratulatory gifts They were a little caught off guard, and those who could work day and night would rush to work day and night. It was still too late, so they had to find a way to exchange for other gifts.

Qu Fengyan was also one of the many people who were devastated. Fortunately, the purse was not too difficult to embroider, and the spices and herbs to be put in it were also prepared in advance, so after staying up for two nights, they were finally ready. The clothes that Qu Lingxu had finished were too late to finish, and the clothes couldn't be made, so the original plan to tamper with the clothes would naturally come to naught.

For this reason, Qu Fengyan was really depressed for several days, but it was not her character to give up as soon as she said she would give up. Qu Lingxu turned into Yunyi.

Yun Yi is the most powerful maid around Qu Lingxu, and Qu Lingxu will definitely take her with her when she enters the palace. When something goes wrong with her and the queen becomes ill, Qu Lingxu, the master, can't escape the responsibility, and he will do something to Yun Yi. It will not attract people's ideas, which greatly reduces the risk of getting caught.

Just do what you do, after two days of observation, Qu Fengyan finally saw the right time, and secretly stuffed the heart disease-inducing medicine into Yunyi's close-fitting purse. It is colorless and tasteless, and only people with heart disease will get sick when they come into contact with it. Healthy people don't notice any abnormalities at all. Seeing that no one has noticed that he has moved his hands and feet, Qu Fengyan's lips outline a smug smile.

Although Concubine Xu would arrange for people to mess with the gift, but with her help, it would be tantamount to a two-pronged approach, and Qu Lingxu's charges would be confirmed directly.

If Qu Fengyan calmed down and thought about it carefully, he would realize how stupid his actions were. Qu Liancheng had lost the battle, and the emperor was in a rage. Those who are used to worshiping the high and stepping on the low will naturally look down on them compared to before. That is to say, under the current situation, she and Qu Lingxu are already both prosperous, and both are destined to suffer. If Qu Lingxu Xu was convicted, what benefit would she want from a little concubine?
This is simply a fool's dream.

Of course, with Qu Fengyan's incomparably stupid IQ and her paranoid hatred for Qu Lingxu, she would never have thought of these joints, so she is doomed to pay a heavier price for her stupidity than ever before.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Qianqiu Festival banquet. Because of Qu Lingxu's medicine, Huaiyanghou's cough was barely under control, so he didn't ask for leave, but came to the banquet with support, worrying that he would be overworked and hurt his body. , Leng Yuanxun strongly opposed it, but Huaiyang Hou thought that if he did not attend such an occasion, the emperor would doubt his condition. He did not want others to know that he was seriously ill, so he insisted on entering the palace However, Leng Yuanxun couldn't resist him, so he could only stay by his side every step of the way, so that he could take care of him at any time.

Although it was a few days in advance, the preparations were a little hasty, but after all, it was the Empress's Thousand Autumn Festival, and it was still very lively. It was full of vitality. From the dawn of the morning, concubines and concubines brought gifts to Fengyi Palace to pay respects to the queen. Afterwards, ladies and wives from various mansions also entered the palace one after another. A place with a lot of women is naturally a maternity place that competes for beauty. The ladies who came out of the cabinet were all well-dressed, and when they were summoned by the queen, they tried their best to express themselves, in order to leave a good impression on the queen.

why?

Although most of them are limited by their status, they don't have much chance to become crown princesses, but the crown prince has two side concubines, five concubine concubines, and good sons with no limit on the number of concubines. There are many vacancies in the selection of servants. If they are lucky enough to fall into the eyes of the empress and become the women in the prince's hidden residence, they will have a place in the harem after the prince ascends the throne in the future.

After all, there are too few women like Qu Lingxu who only want to be single-minded. Most people are attracted by the monstrous wealth and honor in this palace, and they wholeheartedly imagine that they will be the most favored woman by the emperor's side, but they don't know that every year there is How many women who were not strong enough to match their ambitions were quietly buried among the yellow tiles and red walls.

Qu Lingxu naturally disdained to be with those women, and only took Yun Yi to wander in the small garden. As for Qu Fengyan, he disappeared after entering the palace with him, presumably to go to Linzhi Palace to do something with Concubine Xu Gui He plotted to go by himself.

Qu Fengyan, I hope you come up with a better idea this time, don't let me down too much.

Qu Lingxu was drinking tea and admiring the scenery on his own, but he didn't know that his every move had already fallen into the eyes of others. Of course, the one who can come and go freely in the court must not be an ordinary man who comes in front of Qu Lingxu. It was Murong Li who had been enjoying herself these past few days.

These days, under Qu Lingxu's strong request, Leng Yuanxun taught her a few simple moves of lightness kung fu, and opened up the second channel of Ren and Du for her, pouring some internal energy into her body, and Qu Lingxu practiced it in her free time. After practicing, I really felt that my body was much looser and faster than before, and even my eyesight and hearing were sharper than before.

Therefore, as early as when Murong Li appeared within her line of sight, Qu Lingxu had noticed the existence of the other party, but just pretended not to know it, until the other party came close, then slowly got up, and respectfully saluted: "Chen Nu Qu Lingxu sends greetings to His Royal Highness Mausoleum, and may His Highness be safe and blessed."

Fortunately, Qu Lingxu's rank is high enough. Except for the emperor and queen, even if she sees Concubine Xu, she doesn't need to kneel down to pay respects. It's enough to kneel down and give blessings. Otherwise, it would be too aggrieved to bow down to her enemies .

"Princess Xinyue is too polite, please get up quickly." Murong Li raised her hand to give Qu Lingxu a sway, and Qu Lingxu was not too polite, she immediately stood up straight, took a step back, and followed Murong Li drew a clear line.

Seeing people you hate really affects your mood.

It's just that she doesn't know what Murong Li wants to do when she appears in front of her right now.

While Qu Lingxu was speculating about Murongli's intentions, Murongli was also silently sizing up Qu Lingxu. Because of her kinship with the Xu family, Murongli went to the General's Mansion more than once, and met Qu Lingxu several times. In his impression, this so-called cousin has always been submissive. Although she is a prostitute, she is always overwhelmed by Qu Fengyan, and she never dares to say anything when she is bullied. The time has become so difficult to deal with, even a shrewd and ruthless character like his aunt has been defeated by her, not only that, he himself has suffered her secret losses more than once.

Thinking of this, Murong Li became more and more displeased, but she smiled calmly and said: "Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, many people are talking and laughing in Fengyi Palace, why is the Princess sitting here alone, but Is there something wrong?"

"Your Highness was joking, how can something not go your way on the empress's day?" Qu Lingxu said with a half-smile, and turned his eyes to the calm lake, as if talking to himself. : "My daughter's mother's birthday is coming soon, but it's a pity that I won't be able to celebrate her in the future, it's just a little sad."

Everyone in the capital knew that Mrs. Chen was killed by Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu had an inseparable relationship with Murongli. Qu Lingxu's unabashed mention of these was undoubtedly slapping Murongli in the face. No matter how good Murong Li was at concealing his emotions, he couldn't help but change his face a little, but there was no reason for such a thing to happen, he just smiled stiffly and said: "There is nothing wrong with the Princess missing her mother, but today this Days, it’s really inappropriate to say these things.”

"Your Highness taught me that the courtier has been taught." Qu Lingxu didn't refute anything, but nodded slightly, and continued with a half-smile: "Your Highness thinks highly of it, and sent people to assassinate the courtier over and over again. It's a pity that the minister's daughter's fate is not yet exhausted, and His Highness has been disappointed."

Given the endless relationship between her and Murong Li, there's really no need to pretend to be affectionate and smiling, it's better to get straight to the point, so that we can feel more at ease with each other.

Apparently, Murong Li didn't expect that Qu Lingxu didn't even want to maintain his superficial amiability, so he froze there for a while. Fortunately, he was not a slow-response person, so he only paused for a moment before sneering: "The princess is really Frankly speaking, it's just that you are accusing the prince of the dynasty without evidence, if this king wants to pursue it, this crime is not a small one."

"Is the courtier disrespectful to His Royal Highness Mausoleum? Who can prove it?" Qu Lingxu also returned a cold smile, and said lightly: "Your Highness is so painstakingly trying to put me to death, is it just because I blocked Qu Feng?" Yan’s way? I’m afraid it’s more than that, right?”

Whether it's for Xu's, for Miracle Doctor Xu or because of fear of Leng Yuanxun, once this enmity has been forged, there is no possibility of it being resolved.
