Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 166 Poisoning
In fact, Chen Wenxin had known for a long time that the eldest mother next to Concubine Tong was buying the palace servants of elder brother for her.

It is also thanks to the emperor who asked her to teach the elder brothers to learn arithmetic, so she accidentally learned about this in the elder brother's office.

Concubine Tong Gui has been in power in the harem for many years, and her eyeliner is all over every corner of the harem.

The emperor is even more so.

Chen Wenxin didn't have this habit in the past. She learned that the palace servants of her elder brother were bought by Concubine Tong with a lot of money, and she was afraid that she would be disadvantageous to her elder brothers.

Especially the fourth elder brother.

So, taking advantage of her frequent visits to Elder Brother's Office, she also arranged eyeliner to monitor what Tong Guifei did to her elder brothers.

This monitoring did not find anything weird about Concubine Tong Gui, but the eldest mother.

The eldest mother actually carried Concubine Tong behind her back, withholding the rewards she gave to the palace people that elder brother gave.

She is Concubine Tong Gui's nanny, the most valuable nanny in the palace except Su Nai who is beside the Empress Dowager.

Under Tong Guifei's majesty, it is really surprising that she can do such a thing.

Concubine Tong Gui trusts the eldest mother so much, she is probably still kept in the dark.

She has been suppressing this matter, waiting for the right time, maybe it can be used for herself.

She is indeed in Changchun Palace today for the sake of Concubine De, and did not allow the fourth elder brother to sit beside her.

But she asked the second elder brother to sit beside her to stimulate Concubine Tong.

In order to force Tong Guifei to take action.

Concubine Tong took action, and her plan to go to the palace to visit her relatives could be better implemented.

Yu Changzai is indeed hateful, targeting her everywhere and speaking arrogantly.

She was very angry, and she favored Yuchang, but she was definitely not to the point of being anxious.

If she was really out of breath, she wouldn't have to pretend to be dizzy.

It's not enough just to be out of breath and Chen Xihai's statement.

If the emperor didn't realize the danger she was in the palace, he wouldn't let her go out of the palace and stay at home for too long.

Only by forcing Concubine Tong Gui into a hurry and letting her take action, can I use this to make the emperor unable to disagree.

If you don't agree, it will kill her.

Grandmother's grandson, Xiao Duzi, is the eunuch of the Imperial Pharmacy, and he has a lot of face in the Imperial Pharmacy.

Because his godfather is Du Si'er, the manager of the imperial pharmacy.

Lu Zong boiled the medicine in the imperial pharmacy, and he probably delivered it himself when he thought of the time.

And Xiao Duzi used some means to dismiss Lu Zong, or conceal the emperor's summons.

He himself took the place of the eunuch serving medicine by Lu Zong's side, and sent Chen Wenxin's medicine to Yikun Palace.

He agreed to do this, but he didn't know that the sweat medicine on his head could kill Chen Wenxin, who was "out of breath and comatose".

He thought that the Mongolian sweat medicine that he personally gave was just for Concubine Tong to treat the concubine.

Du Si'er even told him that the grandma said that if things come to light, you can just say that Tong Guifei instigated it.

This is what Concubine Tong asked the eldest mother to do, because the more frankly he confessed, the more suspicious the emperor would be.

She can't guarantee that this is a perfect solution, she just wants to give it a go.

If it works out, that's fine, but if it doesn't work out, she has to leave a way out for herself.

Sure enough, Xiao Duzi directly confessed to Concubine Tong, and the emperor didn't know whether to believe him or not.

Bai Lu told Chen Wenxin that the medicine jar contained Mongolian sweat medicine, and she smiled slightly.

"Concubine Tong is such a poisonous scheme. Fortunately, I designed this. Otherwise, a patient who was in a hurry would really drink this sweating medicine..."

It was at this time that Concubine Tong knew about Grandma's secrets, and even knew about Grandma's relationship with the Royal Pharmacy.

You and she wanted to poison Chen Wenxin by sacrificing the grandma, and then asked Xiao Duzi to confess to her directly.

Even if the emperor believed Xiao Duzi's words and was sure that the grandma ordered him, Concubine Tong Guifei could still argue that it was the grandma who betrayed him.
-
Concubine Tong found out that she had withheld Concubine Tong's reward money without permission, so she simply framed her master.

Concubine Tong Gui's calculations were really good.

All this is not accidental, but Chen Wenxin's deliberate arrangement.

Step by step, she induced Concubine Tong to make a move.

First let her know about the eldest mother's secrets, then the relationship with the imperial pharmacy, and the second elder brother's love for Chen Wenxin.

The second elder brother is Concubine Tong's biggest bargaining chip to become the queen and even the queen mother. She cannot tolerate anyone taking away the second elder brother.

Concubine Tong's servants in Yikun Palace will definitely tell her that Chen Wenxin is unconscious on the bed now, and the emperor is waiting in the outer room.

A seriously ill person who took some perspiration medicine and fell asleep directly did not show any traces.

She is very smart, she didn't use any hard-to-find poison, but this kind of Mongolian sweat medicine that can be found in ordinary markets.

Drugs can be deadly poisons.

Bai Lu patted her heart with some fear, "Master still said that Concubine Tong Guifei has such vicious thoughts and wants to kill Master!"

"So what if she wants my life? If I don't give it to her, she won't want it."

Chen Wenxin's complexion was calm, and he uttered these words lightly, which shocked Bai Lu into a celestial being.

For the first time, she discovered that her master was so domineering.

Hearing this made her blood boil, and she was extremely pleased.

"Who wants your life?"

"Who wants your life?"

The emperor walked in from the outside, Li Dequan followed behind and personally carried the food box, but still did not let anyone else in.

Bai Lu hurriedly stood up and took the food box for Li Dequan.

Chen Wenxin said calmly: "Bai Lu said, that little Du Zi poisoned my medicine jar, and the confession was instigated by Concubine Tong Gui."

The emperor sat by the bed, looked at her complexion, and said: "I look better now, my heart really hangs in the daytime."

He didn't answer Tong Guifei's words, which shows that he still has doubts about whether Tong Guifei ordered people to poison.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help laughing, she clearly knew that Concubine Tong Gui was responsible, but she couldn't tell the emperor.

The emperor wondered: "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I'm hungry."

She didn't want to face the emperor directly, so she had to cast her eyes on the food box.

"What is the food?"

Bai Lu hurriedly placed food on the low table beside the bed, "Return to master, there are white porridge and pheasant porridge, which one do you want to eat?"

"What side dish goes with the white porridge?"

Bai Lu arranged several small dishes from the bottom of the food box one by one, "This is dried fragrant tofu, this is salted duck egg, and this is lettuce."

She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Fall out of favor and don't even have a decent dinner?"

The emperor's face was a little embarrassed, don't people who are recuperating just drink porridge?
It seemed that she was really blaming him for mentioning falling out of favor in front of her.

Seeing that she had the strength to choose and eat, she thought there was no big problem, so she laughed again.

"Nian Nian, you should drink some porridge first, and after recuperating for a few days, you can eat something else."

Chen Wenxin didn't even look at him, she looked at the food on the low table by herself, and finally made a decision with difficulty.

"Just porridge and salted duck eggs."

Bai Lu peeled off the skin of the salted duck eggs, mashed the salted egg yolks and mixed them into the porridge, and put the remaining whites in the plate.

"I'm coming."

The emperor took the bowl of porridge mixed with salted egg yolk, and sat by the bed to feed her.

The exquisite silver spoon scooped up a spoonful of porridge, he put it to his lips and blew, and then carefully brought it to Chen Wenxin's lips.

The emperor condescends so much, but she is indifferent.

She didn't refuse, and didn't open her mouth, she just looked down at the red silk quilt with white flowers and flowers in a daze.

The emperor sighed and said, "You all go down."

Bai Lu looked up at Chen Wenxin, then quickly followed Li Dequan out of the inner room.

The two stood outside the door, waiting for the master to call at any time.

Li Dequan said: "This is also strange, the emperor hasn't seen the concubine Qin for a month, and now it's good and good."

Seeing the emperor being nervous about Chen Wenxin, he felt that the two of them were on good terms.

Bai Lu dismissed it in her heart, obviously our master didn't want to talk to the emperor.

If she thought about it, seeing how nervous the emperor was to her, the emperor might not be willing to stop her from going to Qianqing Palace.

After all, aren't these two just acting out of anger?
Bai Lu had to be angry with her master, she felt very sad, if she didn't vent her anger, she might really hurt herself.

Li Dequan glanced at Bai Lu, "Why isn't Aunt Lu talking?"

Bai Lu hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "I mean, it's obvious to all that the emperor cares about our master."

It's more than just worrying. Judging by the emperor's attitude, I'm afraid he would not be so attentive to the empress dowager.

He figured it out all of a sudden, no matter whether the emperor loves Concubine Qin or not, he loves this one the most in his heart.

He sneaked a glance at Bai Lu, Bai Lu looked calm and composed, which made him a little unconvinced.

It was always the maids around the concubines who were uneasy and wanted to inquire or flatter him.

How come it's the other way around here at Yikun Palace?
That's right, in the current situation, it is clear that the emperor is trying to please the concubine Qin, not the concubine Qin to please the emperor.

Li Dequan narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said to Bai Lu, "Aunt Lu, you still have the eyes, the concubine Qin is sick, and I only let you serve her close by."

Bai Lu has been by Chen Wenxin's side since Chen Wenxin agreed to become the Chuxiu Palace, and from the time she was promoted to permanent concubine to diligent concubine, she has always trusted Bai Lu the most.

Bai Lu didn't have to live up to her expectations, and took care of her wholeheartedly when she fell out of favor.

Her eyes are poisonous, she is following a good owner, and she will have a bright future in the future.

"What did the father-in-law say? Our master treats the subordinates well, and the subordinates will naturally repay the master well."

"What's more..."

Bai Lu smiled faintly, "Eunuch Li understands the emperor's thoughts towards our master best, so what else do we need to speculate on?"

Li Dequan was used to seeing the emperor's will, and he looked too much, too much.

He could figure out what was on the surface clearly, but when the emperor said something wrong, he couldn't figure it out.

It was as if the emperor had lost his master's privileges during the day, preventing her from using the iceberg at will.

Li Dequan may follow the emperor's behavior and acquiesce in the Ministry of Internal Affairs' embezzlement of Yikun Palace.

With Chen Wenxin's illness, the emperor was so nervous that Li Dequan understood something.

He hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Oh, it's a pity that Aunt Lu has such thoughts, so it's a pity not to serve in front of the imperial court. It's because I'm blind. I would like to thank Aunt Lu for reminding me."

From then on, he only knew that no matter what, Yikun Palace must be treated well.
