Chen Palace

Chapter 37
The empress laughed so shrillly that people shivered when they heard it.

After all, the Empress Dowager was old in accidents, her phoenix eyes flashed, and she brightened awe-inspiringly: "Are you serious?"

The queen knelt down on the ground, and said with a wry smile: "Last time, Concubine Mei Gui invited the goddess doctor. Although she didn't have any special skills in 'line pulse', she was also a rare expert in gynecology. She said that I don't have any hidden diseases, so I shouldn't." I can't conceive a child in three or four years, so I asked again and again, and she said - in some rich families, the young master doesn't wait to see his wife, so he uses this trick - if he can't have a son in three or two years, there is no room for talking ?”

She sneered again and again, and continued: "I didn't believe it at first, but after a lot of effort, I got a teacup for the emperor in the emperor's palace, and the medicine he used was found out--the queen mother, he resected it from the beginning. In the end, they are guarding against my Lin family!"

The Empress Dowager only felt her temples jumping wildly, she felt dizzy for a while, finally she slowed down a bit, and said in a breathless voice: "Ye'er."

Aunt Ye leaned closer and asked, "What orders does the Empress Dowager have?"

She was worried that the queen mother would be angry, so she stepped forward to support her.

The queen mother shook her off: "I'm fine!"

She looked fiercely, and said word by word: "The person who passed the order to us, from today on, all the personnel and artifacts in the emperor's palace will be watched closely by me, to death!"

In the Qianqing Palace, even though it was late afternoon, Yuan Qi was still writing vigorously, with vermilion imperial criticisms, a few numbers, but they always hit the point.Time passed slowly, and the thick pile of Minghuang Memorials gradually diminished.

The air here is dignified, and there is a person next to him with slender fingers, who is slowly rubbing ink, the pine fragrance is lingering, but no one speaks.

Yuan Qi finished approving a book, but didn't take it anymore, just stared at the snow-white Haowan who was busy - a little ink was accidentally stained on it, making it even more crystal clear, like ice and jade.

He wanted to say something, but looked at Chen Lu's face as cold as ice and snow, and couldn't speak again.

The scene in the morning seemed to be an abyss between the two of you, no matter how thin the ice was, you would not be able to pass through it calmly.

"Brother Huang is so elegant, diligent in state affairs, and there are still beauties in the red sleeves!"

King Jing stepped into the study, seeing this scene, he couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Qi smiled and did not argue, but asked Chen Lu to put away her pen and ink, stretch her muscles and bones, and said, "Second brother, why do you have time today to come to this boring place like mine?"

King Jing was ridiculed by him, but he was not embarrassed at all: "It was before, when my ministers were young and didn't do anything, they only thought that there was nothing wrong with the emperor's brother, but only the copywriting. When I saw it today, I realized the big fallacy—— With a wonderful person like Shang Yi serving beside him, isn’t it better than a fairyland?”

Chen Lu was at the side, listening to his slick tongue, coughed lightly, and then said: "Please forgive me for being abrupt, the place where King Jing is a thousand years old is a fairyland on earth, no wonder you are so happy to think about it——"Shuyu Pavilion"Wan Wan Miss Wan, that's a wonderful person."

King Jing was speechless for a while, unable to make a sound, Yuan Qi was overjoyed, trembling with a hearty smile, broke the porcelain cup almost, and said: "Today, you, the devil king of the world, finally met your nemesis!"

His big laugh swept away the solemn and embarrassing atmosphere in the room. Seeing him overjoyed, King Jing smiled wryly and said, "Forget it, little girl is eloquent. Even if I make a fool of myself, it's not a big deal!"

Yuan Qi said with a smile: "If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall—Second brother, what is the matter with you here?

King Jing suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "Brother Emperor, although my subjects are unworthy, I still dare not come to this important place in the Royal Garden when I am free - after a while, it will be the day when the vassal kings from all over the world will enter the capital. I'm afraid I won't be able to live in peace, this is not only state affairs, but also the reputation of my royal family, so I dare to ask, what rules do you have in mind?"

Yuan Qi listened quietly, groaning for a while, before sighing: "Second brother, you dare to speak up and do it—how dare the rest of you mention such things in front of me? These uncles and brothers... are simply too unreasonable." talk!"

He sighed angrily that iron could not be made into steel, and had nothing more to say.

"It's easy for the uncles to say that the left and right are asking for more favors for their children and grandchildren, and they can't make any trouble... It's just two younger brothers, but really..."

King Jing was analyzing and pondering, unable to make a decision for a while.

The "two younger brothers" they talked about were the last two sons of the former emperor Yuan Xu, who ranked third and fourth, but they were rarely called the third or fourth princes in the palace, and they were just called princes.

There is also a reason for this. Today, Shang Yuanqi and Jing Wang Yuanzhi were born to Zhonggong and Concubine Hui respectively. Both of them are the daughters of the powerful Lin family, and they have always been in the same spirit. They were humble, and the first emperor didn't like them, so when they were three or four years old, they were sent away early.

The most snobbish people in the palace, in order to curry favor with the Empress Dowager and Jinshang, only called King An and King Ping, never titled "His Royal Highness". depending on it.

"I understand, this villain in the palace, what shameless and mean things can't be said? The two younger brothers have been wronged, and they are full of evil fire, so they have to send it to me!"

Yuan Qi sighed, King Jing was listening, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang is really kind-hearted. Since this is the case, when they come to Beijing, I have time to chat with them. I am also an idle prince, so I don’t care if there is any fire." Won't send it to me."

Jing Wang chatted for a while, then got up to leave, Yuan Qi looked at his unrestrained and unrestrained figure, and asked casually: "What do you think of my close brother?"

Chen Lu didn't even think about it, and replied, "If you talk about right and wrong, you must be right and wrong - King Jing is not a thing in the pool."

"Oh?" Yuan Qi smiled: "This is exactly the same as the Taifu's evaluation back then."

"The so-called 'If you don't make a sound, you'll be a blockbuster'. King Jing's feigning a violent wind is just keeping a low profile."

"It's a pity that there are not many people in the court who have your vision. The two kings of Anping are nothing more than scabies. My good second brother, who is unruly and unrestrained, is the real dangerous confidant."

Yuan Qi sighed, speaking of his most secret feelings without hesitation, obviously trusting her very much.

"The Holy Majesty talked about the brotherhood in front of me, isn't he afraid that the humble minister will leak the secret?"

Chen Lu asked abruptly.

"you?"

Yuan Qi laughed: "You don't even look at the honor that the women in the palace dream of, so why would you betray me for something else?"

He was a little melancholy, thinking of the icy "Tai Ah" sword across his neck this morning, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken for a moment, and his mouth was even more bitter——

Even if it is the ninety-five supreme, so what?

****
Chen Lu was not on duty at night, she returned to the Jade Moon Palace, just after she changed her court clothes, Qu Yun came.

"What happened last night? The queen mother's side is extremely abnormal."

he asked directly.

"Hmph...she finally can't sit still!"

Chen Lu sneered slightly, dazzling blazing flames flashed in her clear eyes——

She roughly talked about what happened last night, and then sneered: "The queen originally wanted to impress people with her old love, and after a spring breeze, she became pregnant with a dragon descendant, but how can I make the people of the Lin family happy?"

"Fortunately, Concubine Mei Gui is also brooding over the lost child. I told her to take Chi Xingzi in the same way. The empress suffered from being dumb, and became even more paranoid—she must have gone to the empress dowager to cry today!"

"The matter of the medicine was not Lin Yuan's idea?" Qu Yun was slightly surprised.

"Of course not, what she said is as innocent as snow, but the emperor will definitely settle this account on her... Moreover, she has no intention of clarifying now... Xiao Yun, the secret spy of the Palace of Compassionate Ning , did they all come out of the hole?"

After receiving an affirmative and surprised answer, she said with a leisurely smile: "Everything is under control... Lin Yuan will soon pursue the matter of the emperor taking medicine to make the empress infertile. This pair of mother and son have long been in dire straits— —The arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired.”

"Could it be that all of this is you...?"

"Xiaoyun, with the queen's brain, if no one wakes her up, she will only ask ghosts and gods, and how can she find out Yuan Qi's secret medicine--that'goddess doctor', Mei Guizhen uses it, the queen uses it, I, more useful!"

Qu Yun was dumbfounded, and finally realized that everyone in the whole incident was just a puppet for her to manipulate.
