The maid is the queen

Chapter 179 Doubt about the reason

At night, when the palace lady was bathing Xi, she came to me in fear and told me to go and see. There were still a little drops of blood on the baby's skin, because the pure cotton cloth was very soft, and it was a pure white dress. Wrap the outside with brocade silk material.

Xi moved her hands and feet in the warm water, and seemed to be very comfortable, but the faint blood stains made me feel dazzling. If the maid hadn't looked carefully, I wouldn't have noticed it.

I carefully hugged Xi and looked at his back, it was still smooth and tender, nothing could be seen.He rolled limply in my arms, didn't cry but kept screaming.

I was a little panicked, and I didn't know how I hurt the child, so I asked the maid to invite Lin Luoshui over, and said that the full moon banquet could not be without a gift from my uncle.

Lin Luoshui came, put down the gift in his hand, looked at the little clothes I handed over, and then at the child I brought, carefully inspected, pressed the child's white and tender skin, Xie writhed with some pain.

"It must have been pricked by a needle, Zhiqiu, you have to be careful, I think the fresh blood may not be poisonous, but if someone poisons it again, the child is so young."

I was terrified by this remark, thinking about what happened today: "A lot of people hugged the little prince today, but I don't know who did it this time, the needle is too delicate to hide it Between the fingers, no matter how many court ladies are watching, it is hard to guard against.

The maids around me are all loyal and reliable people, and they would never dare to hurt the prince. If the emperor finds out about this, I don’t know how much they will be blamed.With some fear, I hugged Xi tightly and coaxed him to sleep. Lin Luoshui also sighed: "There are a lot of gossip in the palace, but people's hearts are difficult. You don't hurt everyone but you want to hurt you, just because you are in the limelight."

Suspicion arose in my heart, but I was also afraid. There were not many things that happened in the palace, but things that happened in secret were the most worrying.

But how to prevent it?In the palace, how can I prevent it?

Saying goodbye to Lin Luoshui, I was a little worried.

Xia Junlan came over to have dinner together. I didn't tell him about it. He is busy with affairs in the northwest, so I don't want to worry about the harem anymore.Besides, he held a night banquet with those courtiers, and drank a lot of wine tonight, he fell on the bed and looked at me with a smile: "Zhiqiu, I feel so satisfied, I have never been so contented, you say, this is why?"

I wiped his hands, looked at his drunken appearance, and his rosy face, and sighed in my heart, if the Queen Mother does not have certain means, it is really difficult to bring up a child.

People must have hearts, and each heart has thousands of thousands, and no one knows what is thinking through the belly.

In the middle of the night, he fell into a deep sleep, but I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about the crying of the child. After a while, I wondered whether it was the concubine or someone else. It could be anyone but it doesn't have to be anyone.

The next day I found the court lady and said solemnly: "My concubine did not tell the emperor about Xi's matter yesterday. Once you tell, your lives will be over, but today you should watch the prince more carefully. Whether it is Whoever comes to hug him has to be remembered, and he will have to watch over for the prince after a while, do you understand?"

These words actually made the palace maid turn pale with fright, she knelt down and said in panic: "This servant understands, this servant will definitely take care of the prince."

"Okay, assuming you haven't found out about this, you should be more careful in the future."

"Yes, the servant knows."

But I always feel bad in my heart. I have been cautious since I was pregnant with the child, but I have been hurt twice. The palace is not like the Yang family. The palace is so dark that it is always hard to see who is standing In the dark, just looking for an opportunity, they will ruthlessly want to step on me.

Thinking about what Lin Luoshui said before, he said that the soup I had at that time may not necessarily be the problem with the soup, and the Ministry of punishment has only dealt with the servants up to now, but has not caught the people who really hid behind it.

The baby came over and hugged my feet and called softly, "Mother Concubine."

"The baby is going to play with the maid, and the concubine is not in the mood to play with the baby today." The baby is dressed up so cutely today, with a little butterfly tied in her hair, and her wings move as soon as she runs.

The baby shook his head: "The baby wants a concubine, a concubine."

This act of acting like a baby suddenly gave me a flash of inspiration. It is said that the baby would not cling to me for anything before, especially when Xia Junlan was around, but on the emperor's birthday, he dared to cling to her in front of her father. I want me to take her to pee.

So many things have happened, I don't doubt the people in my palace, who else should I doubt?
And if he hadn't gone far and had an accident, then Tang wouldn't have disappeared.

I picked up the baby and asked her gently: "Baby, do you still remember the day when the baby played with the little brother? When the concubine suddenly had a stomachache?"

She looked at me with bewildered eyes and shook her head.

Such a young child always remembers and forgets, alas, what should I do?

Suspicion arose in my heart, and I always wanted to make a whole mess out of it. Thinking about what happened that day was weird.

I asked the baby: "Why do you always pester the concubine mother and ask the concubine mother to take you to pee?"

She just laughed and didn't say anything, she drank some water and pulled me again: "Mother Concubine, pee."

"Who taught you to pee now."

"Because of Auntie." She spit out four words.

Xu came in to say hello to me, and I spread his palm to see that the wound stabbed by flowers was fine, and I sighed a little: "Xu, don't get those flowers next time, my concubine wants to ask you something Do you still remember the day when the mother concubine gave birth to the emperor's younger brother? It was the day when Xu played with this somewhat different emperor's younger brother."

I pointed to my lips, actually I was very reluctant to say this, but I thought Xu Neng had some special impressions so that I could remember them.

Xu thought for a while and said, "Mother Concubine, Xu remembers."

"What does Xu know, what do you see?" I asked him happily.

He thought hard, and then said what he remembered, which were all irrelevant: "The reason is that my aunt took the water and asked the baby to drink, told the baby to drink more, and told the baby to tell the concubine to pee, Then the concubine can hold the baby."

Xu's memory is quite good, but I was terrified when I heard it. The reason, the reason, how could it be the reason?I kept letting the baby drink water, and then taught the baby to pester me to pee. I thought about it that day, although she also said to take the baby, she didn't come close.

There is also Xia Juntang and I's plan, the moved medicine bottle, if there is a real reason, it is possible, but she followed me to the Leng Palace, where she took good care of me.

"Mother Concubine." Xu looked at me worriedly: "Mother Concubine is not feeling well?"

"No." I smiled: "Xu is going to the Royal Academy now, Xu should not tell others what the mother concubine asked."

"Yeah." He nodded obediently: "Xu knows, is mother concubine still coming to pick up Xu at noon?"

"Okay, at noon, I'll take you and the baby to eat cakes at Concubine Qiao's."

"Okay." The baby smiled, and then pushed Xu out: "Brother, go quickly, and you can come back quickly."

This child is really, both of them are so smart and cute, and my child, I am heartbroken if anything happens to any of the three, I want to protect them, I have to see if there are snakes dormant around me, When I'm not careful, it will come out and bite me.

I hope it’s really not the reason, but that I thought too much. I seemed to have doubted her back then, but I felt very guilty afterwards. Now I just doubt whether it is true or not, and I need more facts to prove it.

After all, Yuan is taking care of me, if she wants to harm me and the child, she won't just touch us lightly.

Let Yuanyuan stay in the palace, I said it would be easier to say hello if someone came, so I led the baby around in the harem, and went directly to where Zhang Xibao lived.

She is still so gorgeous and beautiful, but the loneliness in her eyes can't be hidden, she was a little curious when she saw me: "Why does Concubine Yun come to this small place like a concubine?"

"I don't want to say anything in a roundabout way, Xibao, I want to ask you who in the Yang family can use money to make him tell the truth." Zhang Xibao knows the Yang family best.

Zhang Xibao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Are you looking for such a person? Now that you are in your position, even if you don't give money, how dare you let someone not speak when Xuan comes to the palace to ask questions?"

"Xibao, this matter is important to me. If that's what I want to hear, I won't come to you."

She was very proud, she tilted her head and said with a smile: "That's true, but even if Concubine Yun Gui opened her mouth, there is nothing she can't keep secret from her concubine. If you want to know more, you can start with Mrs. Yang and serve her girl." There is a man named Jintao who can be bought and sold, but it is up to you, I am afraid that some things will get twice the result with half the effort."

"It's okay." I smiled: "It's good to get twice the result with half the effort."

In the same way, I was wary of Zhang Xibao. Concubine Li reminded me back then, so I was wary of Zhang Xibao.

How tiring, she was the one who wanted to be the emperor's concubine when she entered the palace, and she just bought me in so that I could find out about those young ladies. She didn't expect that one day I would spoil the sixth palace.

She is also a smart person, of course I can see that I don't trust her, but there is still her arrogance in her bones, she said with a smile: "Then I wish Concubine Yun all the best."

I have someone to help me, of course I have to do my best, Lin Luoshui's identity is not difficult at all, when he entered the palace the next day, he told me very carefully: "She is arranged by the Yang family, she There is a child in the Yang family, that is, the one who was taken out of the palace by you and the emperor. At that time, the emperor chose an aunt for you, and this matter was left to Eunuch Yang. They naturally wanted someone from the Yang family. There is only one reason for doing things. Yun Zhiqiu, it’s fine if you don’t investigate, but everything will be shocking if you investigate.”

I slumped down on the chair weakly: "But when I was in the cold palace, she was always with me and took care of me, but when I was rich, she would bite me?"

"Some people can't help themselves when they do things." Lin Luoshui looked directly at me: "This matter can't be neglected. Considering all the reasons, she is the biggest suspect."

"There must be some evidence." I feel really uncomfortable, but if I don't get rid of it, it will be my three children who are endangering: "I'll watch her first and see if she makes any moves."
