The princess doesn't talk much

Chapter 209
Ye Wuming, who was dining in the Qianqiu Palace, had a little harvest when he was in a state of confusion.

Bai Xiao took advantage of the time of pouring wine for Ye Wuming and said in a low voice: "My lord, that beauty Liu is the daughter of the county magistrate of Ningjiang County. She was elected into the palace three years ago. When she first entered the palace, her majesty loved her for a long time, because that Liu Meiren has practiced dancing since she was a child, her figure is delicate..."

Ye Wuming frowned and said: "Get to the point!" This kid actually dared to inquire about his father's gossip, and he was really spoiled on weekdays.

Bai Xiao bared her teeth and said with a smile: "Yes, my subordinates inquired, it seems that Liu Meiren's life in Dexiang Palace is not very good, because since she moved into Dexiang Palace, His Majesty has never favored her again, every time Majesty goes down to favor her , Concubine Yin De must have a headache, which attracted His Majesty to visit her. After a long time, His Majesty seems to have forgotten Liu Meiren."

Ye Wuming nodded slightly. The women in the harem pinned all their hopes on the emperor. If they didn't get the royal rain and dew for many years, they might be unable to think about it or eat.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with her anorexia?
Bai Xiao continued: "This beauty Liu is also a poor person. I heard from my subordinates that on August [-]th, Liu Hongchang asked someone to send a kind of pickled vegetable mooncake from their hometown. It is not worth much, just for Give Liu Meiren a taste of her hometown, but Yin Defei tramples it to pieces in front of her, and if she wants to taste it, she has to eat it with mud."

Ye Wuming was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What did you say?"

Bai Xiao replied: "This subordinate said, Concubine Yin De..."

Ye Wuming interrupted Bai Xiao, and said, "No, it's not about Concubine Yin De, what do you think Liu Meiren's father is called?"

Bai Xiao said, "Liu Hongchang, magistrate of Ningjiang County."

When Ye Wuming heard this name, it immediately reminded him of a small event from his previous life.

This county magistrate of Ningjiang was punished by the nine clans because...

correct!

It was because Liu Meiren committed suicide in the harem and committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, which frightened Concubine Yin De and caused the heir that Concubine Yin De conceived to have a miscarriage.

Father Huang Longyan was furious and sentenced Liu Hongchang and his family to death.

Ye Wuming frowned and thought, this beauty Liu killed herself, but why did she kill herself?As a concubine in the harem, she should know that suicide is a serious crime. Since she has anorexia, as long as she doesn't eat, she will die sooner or later. Why rush?
unless……

Ye Wuming pursed his lips tightly, thinking of another possibility.

Unless this Liu beauty is not anorexic, but can't eat.

Someone refused to let her eat, she couldn't stand the torture, and finally killed herself.

If this was the case, then the person who refused to let her eat must be holding something against her, which made her not dare to fight at all.

Then if the person holding her handle is Concubine Yue, and she will have to eat something if Concubine Yue doesn't give her something, then wouldn't Yue Hehuan win?

Ye Wuming turned his head to look at Bai Xiao and whispered a few words.

Bai Xiao was also a little surprised, and quickly said: "Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate will go and inform Miss Yan."

……

Just when Bai Xiao was rushing to the imperial hospital, he had already learned from the imperial doctor Song what the scar on his wrist meant.

Unsurprisingly, he said, "You mean, cut your wrists and committed suicide?"

Physician Song said nervously: "Yes, my little ancestor, please lower your voice, oh my God, this beauty Liu is too bold, she dared to kill herself in the harem, this is going to punish the nine clans!"

In other words, I carefully recalled the furnishings in Liu Meiren's room, and I began to figure out what I couldn't figure out before.

No wonder Liu Meiren didn't have any porcelain in her room. Is it because she was afraid that she would cut her wrist with the pieces after breaking it?
No wonder she doesn't have any jewellery, so she might stab her throat with a hairpin and kill herself by swallowing gold?

But why?Why did Liu Meiren commit suicide?What can't she think about?Just because of anorexia?

No, like Doctor Song said, she should know that committing suicide is a capital crime, a serious crime, but she still did it, so it only shows that she...

She must have suffered more to live than to die.

Without saying a word, her expression froze, and she instantly understood the serious relationship. This beauty Liu is not anorexic, but someone forced her to have this "anorexia"!
Just when he couldn't figure it out, Bai Xiao also came to the Imperial Hospital. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the Thirteenth Prince next to Shangguan Ling'er, and the two of them were chatting about something.

The thirteenth prince had a smirk all over his face, and Shangguan Ling'er was annoyed.

Bai Xiao raised his eyebrows, knowing in his heart that this is the thirteenth prince trying to save his brother. It's okay, if the thirteenth prince can let Shangguan Ling'er marry him, it will really solve a big problem.

Bai Xiao lowered his head, took a little detour, and walked inside, just in time to meet Bu Yan who came out head-on.

When Bai Xiao saw that he didn't say anything, he quickly walked a few steps to meet her, and said, "Miss Yan, the prince has something to bring you."

Without saying a word, he blinked and said: "Ninth brother wants to say, isn't Liu Meiren suffering from anorexia?"

Bai Xiao was startled, and couldn't help asking: "How do you know?"

Without saying a word, he sighed: "It's not important how I know, what's important is that she doesn't suffer from anorexia, which is more troublesome for me. If Concubine Yue can hold her, she will definitely eat whatever is given to her."

Bai Xiao also nodded worriedly and said, "You're right, unless we know exactly what Concubine Yue Gui prepared for Yue Hehuan, and we prepare exactly the same, it will be difficult for Liu Meiren to tell which one is prepared by Yue Hehuan. She'll have to eat it all, so at least it's a draw."

But the problem is that Yue Hehuan must be hiding it, and she will never let Yan Buzhi see what she is preparing to eat.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Go back first, tell brother Jiu, and wait for it, the Moon Acacia Demon is one foot tall, I don't say anything, the Tao is one foot taller!"

Looking at the expression in her eyes that were shining and determined to win, Bai Xiao actually felt an inexplicable trust in her in her heart.

After all, she was bare-handed, and she took back Wulu City from Da Shang with just a three-inch tongue.

This is not a little cleverness, but great wisdom.

In other words, she didn't know that Bai Xiao had started to worship her blindly, she just thought of a bad move!
Without saying a word, he came out from the inner room, saw the thirteenth prince and Shangguan Ling'er chatting passionately, and said, "Have you had enough chatting? I'm going to the imperial dining room."

Shangguan Ling'er took the medicinal ingredients from a little medicine boy, and said, "It just so happens that the medicinal ingredients I want are also ready."

Looking at the two medicine packs in her hand without saying a word, she asked doubtfully, "Do you want to make two?"

Shangguan Ling'er nodded and said: "The thirteenth prince said that he also wants to eat this medicinal diet, so I prepared two servings."

Looking at the thirteenth prince without saying a word, the thirteenth prince subconsciously looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.

There was a long, inexplicable sound.

"Oh~~~It turns out that the Thirteenth Prince also suffers from anorexia..."

The unspoken tone was too weird, and the thirteenth prince said awkwardly: "You... don't think too much, there is arsenic in her prescription, isn't this king worried about problems?"

Without saying a word, he nodded meaningfully: "Well, try your best to save brother with curves, good job, good job!"

Shangguan Ling'er was baffled, the thirteenth prince blushed, but Bai Xiao who walked to the door first couldn't help laughing.

He thought that if the thirteen princes could really get Shangguan Ling'er, it would be a good thing.

-

Imperial Room.

After everyone came to the imperial dining room, Shangguan Ling'er went to cook the medicinal food non-stop.

In other words, she doesn't know how to cook. If she knew how to cook, she wouldn't have to rely on Ye Wuming to feed her on her way to the army.

Without saying a word, he turned around and looked for the shadow of Yue Acacia, but found that Yue Acacia was not here.

Without saying a word, he asked in doubt: "Where is Miss Yueer?"

The imperial cook quickly responded: "Go back to the girl, Miss Yue Er has already made a small snack, and she is carrying it to Qianqiu Hall."

Without saying anything, my heart skipped a beat, this is not acceptable, let Yue Hehuan come to Qianqiu Palace, how can she do anything?
Without saying a word, he quickly looked at the thirteenth prince, and said, "You take me to chase the moon, and you must not let her go to the Qianqiu Palace."

The thirteenth prince started to do business, and he was unambiguous, and immediately said: "I've offended you!" After the words fell, the thirteenth prince had already wrapped his arms around what he said and flew up, chasing after him in the direction of Qianqiu Palace.

Fortunately, the distance between the Imperial Dining Room and Qianqiu Hall is not too short, otherwise they would really have no way to stop Yue Hehuan.

In other words, seeing Yue Hehuan walking in front with a food box and Miss Wanliu walking behind, she couldn't help frowning, thinking that the box must be something given to her by Concubine Yue Gui, so she cherishes it very much. He didn't even dare to let the servants carry it.

Without saying a word, he hid in a corner, and when Yue Hehuan passed by, he ran out suddenly and bumped into Yue Hehuan.

"Oops!" Yue Hehuan exclaimed, and fell to the ground without saying a word, and the food box in her hand flew out, and a plate of snacks in the food box was scattered all over the floor.

Seeing this, the thirteenth prince hurriedly pretended that he had just walked over and was in a hurry to help someone, and trampled those pieces of snacks into pieces without hesitation, and fell into the mud.

"Why are you so careless, Cousin Huan'er, get up quickly, is it hurting from the fall?" The Thirteenth Prince winked at the words, indicating that the matter is over, while reaching out to support Yue Hehuan.

Yue Hehuan shouted angrily: "You don't have eyes when you walk! You bastard!"

Without saying a word, he shrugged and said: "Yes, yes, it was my fault, I bumped into Miss Yue Er, but I think you are quite strong, isn't it all right, I am still in a hurry to go to the imperial dining room, just I will not accompany you."

Yue Hehuan wanted to say that she was also in a hurry to go to Qianqiu Hall, and was too lazy to argue with words.

But before she could say anything, Yue Hehuan found that the food box in her hand was missing.

"Where are my things?" Yue Hehuan hurriedly searched around, only to find the leftovers of desserts all over the place.

Yue Hehuan suddenly said angrily: "Yeah! No! No! You did it on purpose!"

Without saying a word, he shrugged: "I didn't step on it!"

The thirteenth prince said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, it's my fault, I stepped on it, cousin Huan'er, don't be angry, didn't I feel sorry for you when you fell down, I ran here in a moment of urgency , how can you pay attention to your feet? Otherwise, you tell me what you do, and I will ask the imperial dining room to redo it immediately, and I will pay you back."

Yue Hehuan's face turned red with anger, how could she know what the hell it was, it was prepared by her aunt.

As soon as Yue Hehuan was about to continue making troubles, Wan Liu said, "Look, servant girl, these are just ordinary salted vegetable shortbread. It's still too late to make it again. Miss Yue Er should go back to the imperial dining room and prepare another one."

Yue Hehuan was eager to win, and she didn't care about getting entangled with Yan Buzhi, so she immediately said: "You wait for Miss Ben, and we will settle the bill slowly."

Without saying anything, he smiled and said: "I live in Qin Wang's Mansion. When Miss Yue Er comes to settle accounts, don't get lost!"

Yue Acacia got angry and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Seeing Yue Hehuan and Wan Liu leave, the smile on the Thirteenth Prince's face disappeared, replaced by worry.

The Thirteenth Prince said: "Miss Yan, although I saw that they are salted vegetable shortbread, we are not sure of winning if we do the same as her."

In other words, he said with a mysterious smile: "Who said there is no? I will definitely win this round."

-

Half an hour later, Qianqiu Hall.

The three girls were all ready to eat, and to show fairness, these three things were placed in three identical food boxes.

In order to distinguish who made it, a note was pasted on the bottom of the outside of the food box, marking the names of the three people.

At the same time, Liu Meiren was also invited from the harem to Qianqiu Palace, to see which food she could eat in front of everyone.

It's just that before the competition started, everyone was frightened by Liu Meiren's appearance.

There is no human appearance here, it is like a mummy.

Emperor Kangwu frowned, he thought that when this beauty Liu first entered the palace, she also looked like a water spirit, why now she looks like a seven-year-old 81.

Emperor Kangwu glanced at the empress with displeasure, his eyes were full of reproach.

The Empress, on the other hand, did not dare to open her mouth to defend herself. She was the lord of the six palaces, and she needed to take care of the harem concubines in addition to governing them.

This Liu Meiren looked like she was going to die, it was clearly because of her poor management and poor care.

Can……

Empress Empress felt a little wronged. When Meili Liu paid her respects, she obviously didn't look like this.

She is just a little out of shape on weekdays, but she still looks energetic.

The empress felt a cold gaze falling on her, she turned her head to look over, and saw Concubine Yue's meaningful smile.

Having occupied the harem for many years, the empress immediately understood that there must be Concubine Yue's handwriting.

The purpose is to let all civil and military officials see how she, the queen, treats the concubines of the sixth palace harshly, and how unable to govern the sixth palace.

The empress sighed, a little helpless, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind kept blowing, she never thought of competing for favor, but Concubine Yue always refused to let her go.

The small interaction between the three high-ranking people did not escape the eyes of civil and military officials, and naturally it did not escape the eyes of words.

Others don't know the reason, so naturally they don't think of the key points. In other words, they already know that Liu Meiren was chosen by Concubine Yue Gui, so they can naturally guess that Concubine Yue Gui let her show her virtue in order to embarrass the queen. .

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Ah, Beauty Liu, there are so many expensive rouge powders in your room, why do you come out to see me with a plain face?"
