I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 32
Seeing Qu Lingxu's question, Aunt Yun, who was beside the queen mother, replied truthfully: "It's a bit cold in the morning and evening. The queen mother has always been afraid of the cold, so she lit this hand stove to keep warm. It has been like this for so many years."

Hearing that this was the case, Qu Lingxu lowered his head and turned on the stove. Because it was not yet night, the charcoal fire in the stove was not lit. Qu Lingxu took out a piece of charcoal fire and smelled it, and said in a concentrated voice: "Go get the fire book .”

Looking at Qu Lingxu's face, Aunt Yun knew something was wrong, and she didn't dare to delay for a moment, she took the fire booklet and lit the charcoal fire.

As the charcoal fire gradually burned, a faint fragrance gradually radiated from the house. Aunt Yun sniffed it vigorously, and said in panic, "Why does this silver charcoal have fragrance? I've never smelled it before."

"The empress dowager believes in religion, and sandalwood is lit in the hall all the year round. That person thought of this and thought of doing something on the charcoal fire." The sandalwood has a long fragrance, which can easily cover up this idea. It wasn't that Qu Lingxu was sure that the Queen Mother's eye disease was far from blind, and he wouldn't doubt these details.

"What's in here?" The queen mother who has not said a word asked coldly.

She has lived for more than 50 years, and has gone through three dynasties. She has never suffered any losses when she was a court lady, but unexpectedly she fell into such a big setback after reaching the top of the phoenix. She wants to see who is so bold!
Hearing this, Qu Lingxu took out a piece of silver charcoal from the stove and put it in the Queen Mother's hand, and said warmly: "The Queen Mother might as well smell it carefully, if the lady's guess is correct, this fragrance is purified from a large amount of wormwood and added with special ingredients. It is made of spices, not to mention your eyes are diseased, even if a healthy person smells this for a long time, his eyesight will decrease."

Qu Lingxu didn't mention it, but Aunt Yun and the palace servants who often served in the palace said that they had more or less blurred vision, but the symptoms were not obvious and they were good and bad, so they didn't take it seriously. thing.

"Queen Mother, these silver charcoals are all sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I will ask you to investigate, and you will definitely find out who is behind the scenes!" When it comes to the relationship with the Queen Mother, Aunt Yun is definitely better than the Emperor and Prince Li. Cut the murderer to pieces.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is suspicious, and there may not be any people in the Shoukang Palace who eat inside and outside. Go to the Department of Punishment to pass on the decree of the Ai family. Anyone who handles silver carbon will be severely tortured by the Ai family. If they cannot be interrogated, let the head of the Department of Punishment Come and see me!" When she said this, the Empress Dowager didn't show any anger on her face, but those close to her knew that if the Empress Dowager showed such an expression, she would definitely kill.

Qu Lingxu is not afraid of this, she is only responsible for doing her own duties, as for the other things, what should be beaten and killed should be left to the queen mother, who has much more power than her, and always It just won't make Concubine Xu's life easier.

As for why it was determined that Xu Guifei's party did it?
Firstly, Qu Lingxu doesn't think there is anyone else in the world who has such a great ability to purify wormwood, except Miracle Doctor Xu and herself. Moreover, the Queen Mother is blind, and Miracle Doctor Xu has rejuvenated and made great achievements. The Queen Mother will be grateful , my heart naturally favored Concubine Xu Gui and Murong Li.

If Qu Lingxu guessed correctly, this is simply a series of tricks. First, use the plague incident to win the hearts of the people, make Mrs. Xu the wife of General Zhen Guo, and then use the eye disease to win the support of the queen mother, and then Xu Xi'er married into the East Palace to cooperate with others. When Murong Jing wants to compete with Murong Li again, I'm afraid it will not be so easy, but they never dreamed that there will be such a variable as Qu Lingxu.

Qu Lingxu was naturally happy, but there was a turmoil in Ganlin Palace. Xu Xi'er somehow got together with Prince Li, and lost the chance to be the crown prince's side concubine. To seek justice for myself, I never thought that I would only get a concubine!
To Xu Xi'er, this news was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Her weeping little face turned pale in an instant, and she grabbed the corner of Concubine Xu Guifei's skirt and cried, "Auntie, Xi'er, don't be a concubine concubine!" ,No!"

She has traveled between the imperial palace and General Zhen Guo's mansion these years, seeing with her own eyes that although the two aunts are favored and hold a lot of power, their names are not right and they are going to be overwhelmed by the main family. This feeling has been with her all her life. I don't want to go through it, but Concubine Xu Gui persuaded her for a long time before she was willing to temporarily commit herself to the prince as a side concubine. She didn't expect to be reduced to a worse situation now!
"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry, what's the use of crying!" Concubine Xu's face was so gloomy that she was about to drip water, she scolded in a deep voice, and just sat down with her heart in her hands, "Do you still remember how you got to Caifu Palace? Is it?"

Speaking of this, Xu Xi'er was even more annoyed, and shook his head again and again, "Xi'er went back to sleep after lunch. I really didn't know why I went there. Auntie, you have to make decisions for Xi'er!"

She must not admit such a big secret loss for nothing, she must peel the skin and bones of that bitch who framed her!
From the very beginning, Concubine Xu knew that she had been plotted against. After hearing Xu Xi'er's words, she confirmed her thoughts even more. She couldn't help but frowned and said, "It seems that Qu Lingxu has an expert to help me. Bengong and Miaomiao They underestimated her."

"What..." Xu Xi'er stood up abruptly, not daring to say anything: "Aunt, you mean... Qu Lingxu harmed me?" Is this possible? It is true that Qu Lingxu hated her, but the other party How can a weak woman take her away from Ganlin Palace without anyone noticing?
"This is exactly what I'm worried about. Think about it, how can she, a girl who doesn't go out of her way, learn the same medical skills as your grandfather?" All of this is too abnormal, enough for her to doubt Behind Qu Lingxu there was an expert pointing him out.

"Queen! Didn't Auntie say that it was because of the Queen's advice that the Emperor made Qu Lingxu the Princess? She must be playing tricks!" Xu Xi'er shouted excitedly.

That's right, it must be her. She didn't want the prince to marry her, so she designed to destroy her innocence. It's really vicious!
Regarding this, Concubine Xu was unable to make a decision for a while, she just sighed heavily, and said with frowned eyebrows: "This palace will investigate, but the fact that you married Prince Li as concubine is a foregone conclusion, and it cannot be changed."

"Auntie, Xi'er doesn't want to marry that demon king!" Xu Xi'er cried again.

She slapped Prince Li anxiously before, and the latter must have hated her to the core. If she married into Prince Li's mansion, she would not be tortured to death by him!
"Auntie, why does she want you to marry him, but now the whole palace knows about it, if you don't marry him, you have only one way of thinking!" Concubine Xu said powerlessly.

For a man, especially a royal man like Prince Li, it doesn't matter how many women he has slept with, but once a woman loses her innocence, she will be branded a libertine, and it is impossible to marry.

"But..." Xu Xi'er had just said two words before being interrupted by Concubine Xu, "Xi'er, I am just as unwilling as you, but the matter has come to this point, and this is already the best solution."

Knowing that there was an aphrodisiac in her sachet, Xu Xi'er's eyes widened in shock, her face was almost distorted to the point of deformation, and it took a long time before she gritted her teeth and said, "Qu Lingxu, I, Xu Xi'er, will never die with you in this life!"

Concubine Xu Gui tightly clenched her hands in her sleeves, and said coldly: "Don't worry, I will get back this debt for you with interest!" Even if the person behind Qu Lingxu is the Queen Why, she and the queen were originally in an endless situation!

Afterwards, Concubine Xu Gui was afraid that Xu Xi'er would do something reckless on the spur of the moment, so she persuaded her softly for a while before letting him go back. Unexpectedly, just as the situation subsided, the personal maid hurried in and said: "Master, don't you?" Alright! Something big happened!"

"If you have something to talk about, don't you think I'm not bothering you enough!" Concubine Xu Guifei was in an extremely bad mood, and scolded with a cold face.

"Master, forgive me, it's really an urgent matter!" The maid panted heavily, out of breath, and said, "The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother seems to have discovered the problem of the Charcoal Fire Road. Captured!"

"What!" To Concubine Xu Gui, this news was like a bolt from the blue. Don't think about it, it must be Qu Lingxu's handwriting again!
"Qu Lingxu!" Xu Guifei gritted her teeth and grabbed the teacup on the table, and was about to throw it on the ground, but was stopped by the maid first, and whispered: "Master, you must not, there are too many people here. It will be terrible if it reaches the Queen Mother's ears!"

When something like this happened, they were the first to be suspected. At this time, I don't know how many people are watching the movement of Ganlin Palace.

Under the persuasion of the maid, Concubine Xu Gui also gradually calmed down. Now that the matter has been revealed, no matter how angry she is, it will not help. Fortunately, the head of the inner palace doesn't know anything and can't provide any evidence.

The palace is the place where you can't hide the most secrets. When Concubine Xu Guifei was thinking about countermeasures, the queen in Fengyi Palace also got the news. She took a sip of tea and said with a calm smile: "How much does Princess Xinyue really have?" It's true, I like him more and more."

"Master, the Empress Dowager ordered a thorough investigation, will it..."

"Check it out, I have Concubine Xu Gui to support me, what are you worried about?" The queen gave the maid an angry look, and said indifferently: "I have been with this palace for so many years, and my temper is still so frizzy, just keep your mouth shut. If you make a mistake, I will never forgive you lightly!"

Yes, although Miracle Doctor Xu was responsible for this matter, the final mastermind behind the scenes was the queen. Even if there was no Qu Lingxu, the queen would find a way to expose the matter and cause Xu's party to suffer heavy losses!
"Master calm down, servant understands." The maid was reprimanded by the queen, the nervous expression on her face disappeared, and she said softly: "Xiao Linzi from the House of Internal Affairs knows a lot, do you want to send someone..." She did A gesture of wiping the neck.

"No need, without his confession, how could Concubine Xu be convicted." Xiao Linzi, a chess piece, she had already moved, and she was waiting for this moment!
