Feng Gouqing, after abandoning, walk alone in the world

Chapter 99
In the past few days, Su Mianyue has been staying in the palace honestly, because it is not the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, she doesn't even need to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, but she has become the biggest idler.

Peaceful days are always short, so De Hai personally passed on Mu Ting's oral order, asking Su Mianyue to go to Deqing Palace to answer.

"What should come is still coming." Su Mianyue smiled sarcastically, and asked Biwu to change her clothes, then followed Dehai to Deqing Palace.

Along the way, Su Mianyue didn't ask a word why Mu Ting summoned her, it seemed that she was not shocked by honor or disgrace.

After paying the big gift, Su Mianyue sat down next to Mu Ting. Seeing Concubine De looking at her anxiously, Su Mianyue smiled gratefully. This Concubine De's character is really the best woman in the harem, worthy of the virtue of virtue. concubine's title.

"The emperor summoned his ministers and concubines, but something happened?" Su Mianyue said calmly, knowing that she was the advisor.

"Has the queen ever given Yingmei a potted plant?" Mu Ting asked.

"Biwu, when I learned that Yingmei was pregnant with a dragon heir, I asked Chunhua to send some supplements and some potted plants just sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Do you know which pots it is?" Su Mianyue turned to ask Biwu Wu.

"As the Empress said, it was a pot of narcissus. When the Household Office sent it, it was said that the narcissus bloomed in winter, but this pot actually bloomed in midsummer. It must be an auspicious thing, so I sent it to the empress to enjoy. But the empress usually doesn't like bonsai, so when Chunhua came to discuss with the servant girl, the servant girl said that the Household Department said that the daffodil is an auspicious thing, and it is best to give it to Yingmei. The flowers come here once in the mortal world at the wrong time of blooming." Biwu leaned forward and answered, explaining the whole story clearly.

Su Mianyue nodded, then looked at Mu Ting, and asked Mu Ting if he had anything else to ask.

"This daffodil was sent to Fengqi Palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs on its own initiative?" Mu Ting asked with a slightly cold face.

"Returning to the emperor, the empress has never been very fond of flowers and plants. She just occasionally goes to the imperial garden to pick some flower petals. The potted plants in Fengxi Palace are also placed in the courtyard or pavilion. If the Household Office does not send flowers according to the season, I'm afraid there isn't even a potted plant in Fengqi Palace." What Biwu said was the truth, neither the current Su Mianyue nor the former master were lovers of flowers.

I can't say that I don't like flowers, but I don't like potted plants. I think that's the way to grow flowers in a greenhouse.

Taking a deep look at Biwu, she saw that she did not look like a lie, and Su Mianyue had never placed potted plants in her bedroom, this is not an excuse.

"Did the emperor summon his concubine just to ask about potted plants?" Su Mianyue looked at Mu Ting puzzledly, saw him nodding, and smiled, "I think Yingmei likes potted plants. After my concubine returns, I will Let people take an inventory of Fengqi Palace, if there are precious famous flowers, order them to send them to Yingmei for appreciation."

Su Mianyue had a pure face, but she was sneering in her heart. Since she was tricked by someone last time, Su Mianyue has studied flowers seriously for a period of time, otherwise she really would not know that daffodils can cause miscarriage in pregnant women .

As for Yingchun's miscarriage because of a potted flower, it doesn't matter if she has done something else, at least her goal has been achieved.

"The empress has a heart, but Yingmei is now..." Concubine De looked at Mu Ting, and seeing that he had no intention of stopping, she said, "Yingmei's child could not be saved. The imperial doctor said that it was because of the daffodils placed in the room." .”

"What?" Su Mianyue exclaimed, her expression darkened immediately, and she asked, "How about Concubine Qing? Didn't she hurt the baby in her stomach?"

"Due to concubine Qing's poor health, she has been conceived in the house for the past few days, and Lady Yingmei put potted plants in the house, so that's why..." Concubine De's eyes were red with sadness when she said this.

For a person who can't conceive an heir, watching others get pregnant is both envious and jealous, but Concubine De never thought of harming the dragon heir in Yingmei's womb.

Hearing this, Su Mianyue spat out a long mouthful, muttered in a low voice that it was good that Concubine Qing was fine, she finally saved a trace of royal blood, then, under Mu Ting's watchful eyes, she asked in grief: "The emperor called his concubine to come?" , but because you suspect that the concubine intends to harm the prince in Yingmei's womb, or even Concubine Qing's child?"

Mu Ting didn't speak, but his demeanor was acquiescence.

Taking a deep breath, Su Mianyue forced back the sourness in her eyes, got up and knelt in front of Mu Ting, and everyone in the room, headed by Concubine De, knelt down along with her.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is calling for injustice, and please give me justice." Su Mianyue said sadly, "This time, it is the concubine who has hurt Yingmei, who can give it to the concubine's daffodils." But his heart can be punished. The safety of the concubines in the harem is related to the emperor's heirs, and the concubines are the queens. If they can produce something, they will be the heirs of the emperor, and their status is even more honorable. Hua, this is undoubtedly an attempt to murder a concubine."

Although there is no name of husband and wife between Mu Ting and Mu Ting, only Mu Ting and Su Mianyue know about this matter, so Su Mianyue's words are reasonable.

"Whether the people in the House of Internal Affairs are dereliction of duty or intentional murder, they should be punished for their crimes. Today they are concubines, Yingmei, and tomorrow they may be other concubines, or even those unborn dragon heirs in the past..." Biting her lip , Su Mianyue kowtowed to the ground and begged: "Please also ask the emperor to strictly deal with all officials of the House of Internal Affairs, otherwise the harem concubines and Yi Anxin will serve the king?"

Originally, she didn't want to get involved in this matter, but thinking of Concubine Qing's current situation, Concubine De also knelt down and begged: "Please ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate the House of Internal Affairs, and check all the items in the palace, so that the emperor's heir can no longer damage it."

Mu Ting didn't want to make the matter too big, and secretly executed the person who wanted to murder Su Mianyue, but the concubine who was pregnant in the harem never gave birth safely, and Mu Ting had to think deeply.

"Dehai, pass on the word of mouth, thoroughly investigate all the officials of the inner government, and the officials who gave the daffodils to Fengqi Palace, and find out the real culprit behind the scenes." Mu Ting said in a faint voice, but Dehai, who has served him for many years But one could hear how angry Mu Ting was at the moment.

"Slave obeys the order." De Hai accepted the order, and before leaving, he took a meaningful look at Su Mianyue, and then left quickly.

Others didn't notice De Hai's eyes, but Su Mianyue noticed it, and didn't take it seriously, but she was just an obedient slave, if she dared to do something, she would just wait for death without a burial.

The case was not clear, and Mu Ting was in a bad mood, so he ordered Concubine De Yingying to take care of her beauty, then got up and left.

Seeing that Su Mianyue didn't intend to leave for the time being, Concubine De sent out all the palace people in the house, and then saluted Su Mianyue, waiting for Su Mianyue's instructions.

"Concubine De entered the Prince's Mansion earlier than I did, and she was the first to conceive, but unfortunately the end result only added to the sadness." Su Mianyue said, looking up at Concubine De, seeing that her face paled in an instant When she got up, there was a look of sorrow on her face, and she said again: "Didn't Concubine De doubt whether what happened back then was accidental or man-made?"

"What does the Empress mean?" Concubine De suddenly raised her head, looking at Su Mianyue in disbelief.

"Concubine De was the concubine of the prince back then, and the emperor was not a prince at that time, but there were not a few people who wanted to be concubines, and there were even more people who wanted to be the head of the country. , do you still need me to say something more?" With a sneer, seeing Concubine De's complicated face, Su Mianyue continued: "Of course, Concubine De can also doubt Ben Gong, but Concubine De should be very clear. If you don't know the emperor yet, you naturally don't fall in love with him, and Ben Gong's father has always hoped that Ben Gong can lead the life of an ordinary person."

Concubine De looked at Su Mianyue in a daze, and after a while she asked feebly: "What's the point of what the empress said to the concubine? The concubine's children can't come back, and the concubine's body was injured that year, so she can't come back anymore." ..."

Seeing the always calm and calm Concubine De's eyes reddened with sorrow, Su Mianyue couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic in her heart, but she still said coldly: "Concubine De defended the emperor from an assassin's sword back then, and caused a miscarriage due to excessive blood loss. , but as far as I know, the hemorrhage after the miscarriage made it difficult for Concubine De to conceive an offspring, did Concubine De never doubt it?"

Concubine De's body trembled, she was obviously caught by what Su Mianyue said, women who can secure a place in the harem are never easy, Concubine De can't doubt it, but there is no definite evidence, so she has to swallow her own bitterness .

Taking a deep look at Su Mianyue, Concubine De suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Su Mianyue, and sincerely begged: "If the Empress can avenge my concubine's revenge, this concubine will be loyal to the Empress with all my heart. .”

"I don't need it." Su Mianyue refused indifferently, looked into Concubine De's puzzled eyes, and said with a faint smile, "I want you to let go of that hatred from now on, and stop investigating secretly. Can you do it?"

"Empress Empress, what do you mean by this?" Even though Concubine De is smart, she can't understand Su Mianyue's real intention at this time, so she can only ask cautiously. It can be seen that Concubine De is walking on thin ice to survive in order to retain her current status.

With a faint smile on her lips, Su Mianyue stepped forward, helped Concubine De up, took her hand and sat down together, and then said: "Concubine De is the concubine who has accompanied the emperor for the longest time. Blocking that sword for the emperor must have been moved with genuine affection, doesn't Concubine De wish to stay by the emperor's side forever and be honored forever?"

Concubine De froze, she looked at Su Mianyue in surprise, her eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish, but Su Mianyue saw the trace of fear clearly.

It's no wonder Concubine De, the most favored concubine nowadays is undoubtedly Gu Ling, no one knows how long Gu Ling can be pampered, and Su Mianyue's previous methods were also impulsive and vicious, and Mu Ting's women were often persecuted.

"Concubine De, don't be nervous. I left you to talk alone today because I just wanted to make you happy. After all, the only person who has not tripped me over the years, nor coveted the position of empress, is you, Concubine De. One person. But concubine De is the only one who can make the emperor feel ashamed and continue to be favored?" Su Mianyue smiled wryly, and she was referring to those women who are qualified to be promoted to empress, such as Concubine Qing and others. Status and family background are not that qualified.

"The concubine is stupid, I hope the empress will teach me." Concubine De was very nervous, but still bowed her head obediently, waiting for Su Mianyue to speak more clearly.

"Nowadays, there are many newcomers in the palace, and it is inevitable to continue to fill the harem in the future, but no matter how many women there are in the harem, and no matter how many heirs there are, there is only one who can be crowned prince." Su Mianyue smiled and looked at Yanyan. Looking at Concubine De, she doesn't need to say too much, I believe Concubine De can understand.

Seeing Concubine De's eyebrows frowning slightly, Su Mianyue didn't disturb her thoughts, she picked up the teacup and sipped it, she sighed in her heart that Concubine De is really a wonderful person, this tea is made with several traditional Chinese medicines, it is calm and calm With the effect, it's no wonder Mu Ting often comes over to sit and sit.

When Su Mianyue put down the teacup, Concubine De had already made a decision, got up and saluted Su Mianyue with a respectful attitude.

"The concubine kowtows to the empress for her kindness, and I will remember it in this life." Concubine De kowtowed again, speaking in a solemn tone.

With a faint smile, this time Su Mianyue did not help Concubine De up, but left with the manner of a queen.

Mu Ting, Gu Ling, the damage you put on me, even if I leave this deep palace one day, I will leave you endless troubles and make you continue to pay the price!

Concubine De went all the way to the gate of the palace, then straightened her back and went back to the inner bedroom, thinking carefully about what to do next.
