concubine daughter

Chapter 25
Man Qing immediately hugged Qing's mother's thigh, "Mother, don't die, Qing'er can't live without you." Man Qing supported her newly recovered body, "I'll save her... save sister, go save..." said As he spoke, his heart ached, his teeth bit down on his lower lip until bright red drops of blood appeared on his lower lip.

"Good boy, let the general take you into the palace. He knows what happened to Jun Xi and he is very worried. If you can save Jun Xi, he will definitely help." Mother Qing stroked Man Qing's hair, becoming so gentle again.

"My daughter obeys." Man Qing was supported by Yun Zhi, but still did not shed a tear.

After Madam left, Man Qing did not go to the General's Mansion, but went to Yuanliu Residence, only accompanied by Yun Zhi.

Yuanliuju lived up to its name, and there were many willow trees, but the leaves had all fallen off, and the branches were covered with a layer of snow.Both Jun Xi and Qing Yi were summoned into the palace, and now Yuanliuju's biggest maid is Ai Ci.

Aici was the maid who was assigned to Yuanliuju by the Second Madam back then, and was originally the third-class maid in the Second Madam's room, so she is quite polite and not as arrogant as Qingyi.

Man Qing and Yun Zhi walked into the inner room of Yuanliu House, and saw Ai Ci alone clearing away the tea set on the table, as if she was going to wash it, seeing Man Qing coming, she immediately put down the tea set in her hand, and went forward to salute, " Good luck to the third grandma."

Ai Ci wore a single bun, with only light makeup on her face, giving people a fresh feeling. I have to say that all the maids around Jun Xi are beauties.

"Get up." Man Qing said lightly, "Do you know the cause of the miscarriage?"

When Ai Ci heard about the miscarriage, her face turned pale in an instant, she lowered her head deeply, and said: "Your maidservant doesn't know anything."

"Just tell me. I haven't been to Yuanliuju today, and I don't know you." Man Qing was supported by Yun Zhi, and sat on the toffee chair. Her newly recovered body was still a little weak, and she almost couldn't sit still. .

Ai Ci thought for a moment before she spoke, "I don't know much about slaves. This morning, Concubine Shu asked Second Mistress to send Guizhi to Second Madam, and Grandma sent Sister Qingyi to send it. Uneasy, so I transferred the osmanthus twig to Empress Chongyi, and after Empress Chongyi drank it, she had a miscarriage."

"Is the osmanthus twig poisonous?" Yunzhi suddenly realized that she asked a stupid question, and immediately stopped talking.

Man Qing didn't care about it, and thought about it seriously, thinking: "Jun Xi is cautious, the things sent by Concubine Shu will definitely be inspected, and they will be sent out only if they are non-toxic. Could it be that someone met on the way, and then Gui Branches have been transferred."

"Yunzhi, go to the general and tell him that I want to enter the palace. I'll go to Hanbiju first and ask my wife." Before Man Qing left, she took a special look at Aici, who had no expression on her face. Only with the color of hypocrisy did he leave with peace of mind.

Man Qing came to Hanbiju alone, the second wife was sitting on the Luohan bed, counting the number of beads on her string of precious beads, as if pretending to be calm, after all, she was also implicated in the miscarriage, so she had to mention Great spirit.

"My concubine pays my respects to my mother-in-law." Man Qing blessed her body and was given a chair to sit on, "Did mother-in-law ever know about the miscarriage of Empress Chongyi?"

Madam put down the beads, her expression was much more composed than before, "I know, when Qingyi asked to see me, I was not feeling well, and I didn't see her. I heard that she brought osmanthus twigs, so I sent her to give it to my mother. Dare to poison!"

Haha, she's done it right!

"Mother-in-law, what do you mean you haven't seen Qing Yi today?" Man Qing looked at Madam suspiciously, trying to figure out what she was thinking, but unfortunately she was too disguised to catch even a trace.

Yanwu met Madam's gaze, and took a step forward, "Han Biju has always disliked that girl Qingyi, she really has no rules, and no one will approach her, let alone Madam?"

Man Qing covered her mouth and smiled, "Really? I heard that the month before last, my wife gave Qing Yi a golden hairpin. That girl Qing Yi is indeed smart and clever, but she doesn't know how to restrain herself. Everyone knows."

Yan Wu suddenly lost his words, stuck in one place, not daring to say a word.

Madam still remained calm, "So what? The golden hairpin is an ominous thing, and I gave it to her because I don't want her to bother me anymore."

Yan Wu immediately added another sentence, "Yes, yes, the servant girl once wore that golden hairpin, and it caused a lot of misfortunes."

At this time, Yunzhi stepped forward, "Mrs. Wanfu. Grandma, the general is here."

"Okay." Man Qing got up and said goodbye, "I will leave as a concubine."

Man Qing was sent to the palace by the general, begging to see the emperor.

When the emperor heard that Manqing could solve the case, he called her in.

Man Qing was led into the Palace of Chaoqing by a group of eunuchs and maids. The palace was not as magnificent as Man Qing thought. Instead, the color was gloomy, but it did not lose the royal demeanor.

After passing two antique vases as tall as a person, Man Qing came to the hall, knelt down and saluted, "My concubine pays respects to the emperor, long live long live."

His Highness knelt down and scattered many palace people, and the ones kneeling in front of them were Jun Xi and Qing Yi, Concubine Shu was sitting, and the maid in charge of Chao Qing Palace was holding a plate with the bowl of osmanthus on it. branch.

"Excuse me." The emperor's rich voice came to Manqing's ears, and it can be inferred that the emperor is middle-aged.

Man Qing immediately stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has clearly found out that my sister-in-law is innocent, but she was framed." Man Qing secretly glanced at Concubine Shu, who was looking at her with hatred, her eyes reflected anger and anger. Confuse.

Jun Xi was a little surprised that Man Qing, who had always been against her, would actually help her, there must be a fraud!She can't be so kind.

"Please ask the emperor to let the concubine inspect the bowl of cinnamon sticks." Man Qing lowered her head, not daring to lift it up.

The emperor winked at the maid in charge, and the maid in charge stepped forward to salute Manqing, and brought the osmanthus branch in front of Manqing.

The osmanthus sticks were contained in a bowl, and there was also a jade spoon in the bowl for drinking medicine. Manqing looked at the jade spoon carefully. On the spoon arm of the jade spoon was written: The spoon given by the imperial concubine should be the emperor's own handwriting.

"Ying Chongyi knew she was pregnant a long time ago, and told me only after three months of hiding it. I didn't expect someone to murder the dragon's heir at this moment!" The emperor's sharp eyes fell on Jun Xi and Qing Yi early. "What's even more suspicious is that there is musk in Yuanliu Residence!"
