Harem Seizure

Chapter 63

After seeing off Concubine Meng Gui, Shao Yunyan looked at the gorgeous food on the table and smiled evilly.After ordering the servants not to touch anything on the table, he reclined on the couch, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Before he fell asleep, he heard hurried footsteps.Shao Yunyan gently opened her eyes, looked at the person coming, frowned slightly and said, "Xianyun, why are you so flustered? What happened?"

"Your Majesty is not well. The Concubine Meng Gui has been suffering from abdominal pains since she returned to the Runze Palace. After summoning the imperial physician, she found out that the Concubine Meng Gui had eaten something she shouldn't have eaten. I also heard that it was our Yuxiu Palace who used something to go back. , I have reported it to the Empress Dowager." Xianyun finished speaking in a breath of horror, with deep worry on his face.

Shao Yunyan frowned, looked at the food on the table, and said with a sneer, "Xianyun, why panic? We didn't do anything so unscrupulous? Why should we be afraid of punishment coming to us?"

"But ma'am, if the empress dowager finds out, you will definitely be involved, ma'am." Looking at the calm Shao Yunyan, Xianyun couldn't help becoming more anxious.It's not a good place for the master to be calm.

Shao Yunyan squinted her eyes and clenched her fist tightly, then loosened it again, turned her head slightly to look at Xianyun and said, "Xianyun, listen. I have taken care of the food on this table, especially the Pot of sweet soup. Since I am doing well, I am not afraid of anything."

"But Your Majesty... If the accusation really falls on Your Majesty, it's not something Your Majesty can afford." Looking at the calm Shao Yunyan, Xianyun was on the verge of crying.Of course, she can guarantee that her mother-in-law did nothing, but if the empress dowager takes care of it, that's not necessarily the case.

Shao Yunyan waved her hand and stopped Xianyun's words.The brow furrowed more and more.She had guessed that her Concubine Meng Gui would only make a move, but she never expected to make such a move.It's insidious enough.

Without waiting for Shao Yunyan to make any further preparations, Eunuch Li, the general manager of Yi'an Palace, prepared to invite Shao Yunyan to sit in Yi'an Palace with a decree.Rather than asking, it is better to say take.Shao Yunyan couldn't help smiling when she saw the eunuchs and maids who were behind Eunuch Li.After getting up, he followed Eunuch Li to Yi'an Palace.

Shao Yunyan was 'invited' to Yi'an Palace, so naturally she couldn't be comfortably carried to Yi'an Palace in this luan sedan chair.But speaking of it, the cutoff was not close, and Shao Yunyan was slightly out of breath when she arrived at Yi'an Palace.

Seeing Shao Yunyan's appearance, Eunuch Li couldn't help but said sharply: "Concubine Xian, don't make the empress dowager wait any longer, just go in with the miscellaneous family."

Shao Yunyan looked at Eunuch Li coldly, gritted her teeth in her heart, but this person was a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager, and now she was a fish, so naturally she had to ignore the harshness in his words.

After entering the hall, Shao Yunyan just felt that the sunlight in the hall was a bit dim.After scanning it again, I realized that the number of people was really enough.I believe that most of them want to see how the Queen Mother will deal with herself, the 'culprit', right?
The Empress Dowager looked at Shao Yunyan who came in and did not greet her. She glared at her even more, and slapped the table fiercely with her teeth bared. Don't you take Aijia seriously?"

"I don't dare. I just respect the Queen Mother very much." Shao Yunyan leaned forward slightly, with a calm look on her face.

The queen mother looked at the blessed Shao Yunyan, and became even more angry, and shouted loudly: "Bold bitch, are you guilty?"

"I don't know what the crime is, but I hope the Queen Mother can make it clear." Shao Yunyan's eyes became clear after hearing this, she straightened her back and looked at the Queen Mother with a smile.

"Hmph, isn't it a crime that you intended to murder the emperor's heir?" The queen mother widened her eyes and glared at Shao Yunyan. The queen mother felt a burst of joy in her heart, and Shao Yunyan finally fell into her hands.

Looking at the empress dowager's ruthless eyes, Shao Yunyan couldn't help feeling a chill run down her spine.In this dark inner room, Shao Yunyan will have a feeling of returning to the day when she suffered so much in her previous life.Biting the tip of her tongue lightly, regaining her sanity, she looked at the empress dowager's clear eyes and said, "I've been wronged by the empress dowager's words. I think I have done nothing wrong, so how could I commit the crime of murdering the emperor's heir? I just know Murdering the emperor's heir is the crime of beheading the whole family, so how could a concubine do such a thing?"

"I know you don't admit it. Someone tell Imperial Physician Qin and Qiu He to come in." The Queen Mother glanced at Shao Yunyan, and immediately ordered Qin Imperial Physician and Qiu He to come in sternly.

Imperial Physician Qin is a middle-aged man in his 40s. His appearance is so ordinary that people really can't tell who he is.However, Qiu He, who came in after the imperial physician, shuddered at the sight of this formation.

The queen mother took a few breaths and raised her eyebrows and said: "Qin Qi, you tell the concubine Meng Gui's illness in front of everyone, and ask all the concubines to listen, and we also want our concubine Xian to listen, and see what else she has. Arguable."

"Back to the Empress Dowager. Judging from the pulse of Concubine Meng Gui, Concubine Meng has eaten something that pregnant women should not eat..." After a quick glance at Shao Yunyan, she continued.

Empress Yao felt startled when she heard what the Queen Mother said, something that shouldn't be used?He raised his eyebrows again and said: "What do you think the concubine Xian is doing? You can continue to say, what kind of food did Meng Guifei use that should not be eaten by pregnant women?"

"If you go back to the empress, it's red flowers." Doctor Qin knelt down on the ground with his head down, trembling all over.

After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother laughed, looked at Shao Yunyan again, and continued to ask Qiu He: "Qiu He, tell me, what did your master use today?"

Qiu He trembled all over, her expression was flustered, and her tone was very trembling: "Going back to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty... has always been cautious in eating and drinking, and has never made any mistakes. It's just that I went today... Concubine Xian... Xianfei The imperial concubine's Yuxiu Palace, drank... drank a bowl of sweet soup from the concubine... then... didn't eat anything... and became red after returning to the palace..."

"Why are you trembling? But what are you afraid of?" Concubine Gao was trembling when she heard Qiu He's words. Looking at her like this, she felt extremely suspicious.

"Gao Guifei, you are not allowed to interrupt. Be honest." The queen mother glared at Gao Guifei, then looked at Shao Yunyan, and suddenly smiled: "What are you talking about now? Why don't you just invite it? How did you do it?" Have evil intentions and want to murder the emperor's heir?"

"Why do you want to impose a crime without excuse? Empress Dowager, you only heard the words of these two slaves, and you condemned my concubine, and I refused to accept it." Seeing the queen mother like this, Shao Yunyan was unwilling to say anything.Just looking at the queen mother like this, she must be tossed a lot, if she wants to avoid a big offence, then she can only hope that Li Huang will return soon.

Hearing her words, the queen mother must have been very angry, slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "How dare you deny the evidence of the crime, and still stand there? Li Dagang, teach Xianfei how to kneel down."

Shao Yunyan raised her eyebrows, then suddenly smiled and looked at Qiu He and said, "Qiu He, why didn't you say that Ben Gong also ate that bowl of sweet soup?"

"Hehe, the Ai family didn't know about this? Qin Qi? Are these red flowers harmful to women?" The Queen Mother smiled softly, and looked at Shao Yunyan with more sinister eyes.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager is naturally non-destructive. Since the empress said so, I will search for the sweet soup and find out. I just don't know if the empress destroyed the bowl of soup."

"The soup is naturally still on the table in this Palace. If everyone is afraid that I will change the soup, please invite Miss Qiuhe to see if the soup has been moved?"

Concubine Xia was happy to watch this scene, so she couldn't help but covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Empress Dowager, you have to check carefully. But I think this concubine must have nothing to do with it, otherwise how could I keep the soup?" Waiting for someone to catch it?"

"That's not necessarily the case. What if someone wants to play hard to get?" Concubine Ping raised the corners of her mouth.She was happy to watch Shao Yunyan, who was usually much loved, fall, and she would be a family.

"Concubine Ping don't talk, this is Yi'an Palace, not your Qingxiang Palace." Empress Yao glared at Concubine Ping.Hearing Concubine Ping's words were tingly, Empress Yao was still uncomfortable after all.

Shao Yunyan is just a concubine who usually looks after a group of concubines, looking at Concubine Gao who is a little anxious, she is also slightly trembling in her heart.She knew that if the Empress Dowager really wanted to take the opportunity to kill herself, there was nothing she could do.But if she couldn't wait for Emperor Li to come back, why did she bother to come to Yi'an Palace?
Not long after waiting, the imperial physician finally rushed to Yi'an Palace with his servants carrying sweet soup.The queen mother looked at the flustered imperial physician, and immediately asked loudly: "The imperial physician's soup?"

"Back to the empress dowager, there is no doubt that there are red flowers in that soup." Qin Qi knelt down, nodded his head and said.

After hearing Qin Qi's words, Shao Yunyan's eyes darkened suddenly.This Qin Qi was clearly lying, but if safflower was added to this soup, the imperial doctor would not be able to detect it.But... She wanted to see if this Qin Qi was afraid of death?

"Bold bitch...you still refuse to admit your mistake?"

"Going back to the Empress Dowager, how can I convict my concubine just based on this imperial doctor's words." Shao Yunyan's words were not wrong.One word from the imperial physician condemned her, after all, it was not so justifiable.

"My concubine thinks what my sister said is very true. If only this imperial physician convicts a person, it's really easy to wrong a good person." Gao Guifei couldn't help but said aloud, after all, she still can't bear to be punished like this because of her relationship with Shao Yunyan .And what she said was true.

After hearing Concubine Gao's words, the Empress Dowager immediately became displeased. She raised her eyebrows and looked at her and said, "Why does Concubine Gao have any objections? Aijia sees that Concubine Xian refuses to admit it. Well, I heard that you are also a person who has practiced martial arts. I'm afraid the skin is thicker, don't you not like to kneel? Come, someone. Drag it out for Ai's family, and you will be punished with a stick for twenty. I want to see if your mouth is still hard?"

Empress Yao glanced at the Empress Dowager, she was indeed furious.But this Shao Yunyan is still one of the four concubines, a serious concubine who has been listed in the genealogy and recognized by the royal family.Except for the emperor, it is still not easy to punish.And if he really punished her just based on the imperial doctor's words, what if the emperor overturns the case?Empress Yao secretly yelled that it was not good, and immediately called out to stop.He hurriedly said to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Mother, no matter how wrong Concubine Xian is, she is now one of the four concubines, and the responsibility for the stick punishment must not fall on her. If she is really at fault, the Emperor will naturally punish her."

After listening to Empress Yao's words, the Queen Mother immediately opened her eyes and thought carefully.She still really can't punish this concubine.But the stick can't be punished, so the punishment of kneeling is always allowed, right? "Take Concubine Xian out, ask her to kneel down on the palace road, and ask Aijia to think carefully about whether she has done anything wrong."

Shao Yunyan was unable to struggle with her arms bound by the eunuch, she just glared at Qiu He, then went out with the eunuch, was pushed to the palace road, and knelt down as punishment.

Although it is early spring, the weather is not cold anymore.But the climate in spring is also impermanent.The hands can't help stretching out to the abdomen, warming the abdomen with the hands.This Emperor Li, don't want me to wait too long...
