Chapter 354: Fighting with the air

When the Queen Mother heard this, she flatly refused.

"If the emperor wanted to search the palace, he would have just ordered it." The Queen Mother said.

A look of displeasure appeared on Nanny Sun's face as she said, "You are His Majesty's mother after all..."

The Queen Mother sneered and said, "What about my own mother? It's not up to my mother to do anything when my son is older. Have we seen him less in these years?"

"Your Majesty is too partial to the imperial concubine..." Grandma Sun couldn't help complaining.

The Queen Mother sighed and said: "The methods behind the imperial concubine's back can never be explained clearly. You don't have to ask the imperial advisor. He and the imperial concubine have frequent contacts. Who knows if he has been involved in this matter? You Let’s check the whereabouts of Taoist Zhang.”

Grandma Sun immediately said: "If Taoist Zhang is willing to take action, of course all kinds of monsters and monsters can come into his own. However, the last time I saw Taoist Zhang was fifteen years ago. He has been traveling around the world and his whereabouts are uncertain. After careful calculation, now he is also He is nearly a hundred years old, I wonder if he is still alive.”

The Queen Mother showed a thoughtful look on her face and said: "The Ai family still remembers that the Ai family was fourteen years old at that time and had not yet entered the palace. When Taoist Zhang saw me, he said that I was very lucky to give birth to the emperor."

"The Ai family also entered the palace because of his prophecy. No one else gave birth to a son. Only the Ai family gave birth to the emperor. A man with such great ability as him must still be alive."

Grandma Sun nodded and said, "The old slave will send someone to deliver the message to Her Royal Highness."

After Grandma Sun retreated, the Queen Mother looked through the window at the side and looked at Niu Niu who was playing with Luo Meiren in the yard. She also had selfish motives and wanted Zhang Taoist to come and take a look at Niu Niu's face.

Before dinner, the emperor issued an explicit edict to appoint Li Zhaoyi as the virtuous concubine to take charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace.

The emperor had been very stingy about the promotion of concubines in the harem under the concubine's ear. In recent years, there were not many concubines in the harem. Now that Li Zhaoyi has been promoted and is in charge of the affairs of the sixth palace, the other concubines are also happy.

After all, Li Zhaoyi was a kind person and would probably not treat other concubines harshly.

For a time, the entire harem was filled with joy.

Except in Guanju Palace.

The imperial concubine ate the medicine weakly. After receiving the news, she was so angry that she knocked over the medicine bowl.

"Bitch! They are all bitches!" Concubine Li scolded fiercely.

When the eldest maid Xingzhi heard this, she immediately knelt down in fright. She and Taozhi were both the eldest maids who were personal to the imperial concubine.

But Taozhi has always been more important to the imperial concubine. Xingzhi originally thought that after Taozhi entered the Shenxing Division, he would have a chance to get ahead. But now it seems more like the whole ship is about to sink.

What's worse is that Aunt Chen, whom Concubine Li has always relied on, is now looking sad.

"Empress, it's not good. The palace card you gave me doesn't work anymore. Concubine Xian only said that it was an order from the emperor. We, the palace servants of Guanju Palace, are not allowed to leave the palace at will in the future."

If Taozhi is responsible for framing concubines in the palace, then Nanny Chen is responsible for connecting outside the palace. She is the link between Concubine Li and the Li family.

Now that the emperor has given this order, it will be very difficult for the news of Concubine Li to spread out of the palace.

"That little **** Taozhi must have been tricked." Concubine Li said.

Nanny Chen immediately said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has neither demoted you nor given you any explicit punishment. Taozhi should not confess much."

Concubine Li shook her head and said, "I have been ill for so many days and I haven't recovered. Who knows if His Majesty is concerned about the reputation of the royal family and wants to kill me quietly?"

Concubine Li's words immediately made Nanny Chen and Xingzhi tremble in their hearts. If Concubine Li was gone, the servants like them would not be as prosperous as they are now.

"Can't...can't sit still and wait for death!"

After Concubine Li pondered for a moment, she immediately asked someone to serve her pen and ink.

She supported her sick body and wrote a secret letter, asking Xingzhi to seal it with fire paint and then hand it over to Grandma Chen.

"This letter must be sent to eldest brother. If this palace falls, all the years of management of our Li family will be in vain." Concubine Li said.

Aunt Chen nodded vigorously and asked: "My dear wife, do you want to ask the Imperial Master to come out to help?" When Concubine Li heard this name, she was angrier than anyone else: "This loser has to be in seclusion all day long, and he doesn't know. What did he do in seclusion?"

Grandma Chen didn't dare to speak.

Concubine Li said: "Brother's letter is the most important, so don't forget to urge me from the Imperial Master."

After Nanny Chen left, Xingzhi put away the medicine bowl that Concubine Li had knocked over, and prepared to have someone make the medicine again.

But Concubine Li suddenly asked: "Who is responsible for brewing the medicine now?"

Xingzhi hurriedly replied: "Returning to the empress, the person in charge of decoction is Bicao. She is the maid assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs last month. She has been checked before and her background is clean."

Concubine Li immediately said: "It's better for you to keep an eye on the medicine yourself...No...it's best for people to take a look at this medicine..."

Concubine Li often played tricks on other people's medicines, and now she was afraid that others would use the same method against her.

She didn't know if the emperor would let her die, but before her brother did something, she didn't dare to take medicine or use spices, for fear of dying quietly in the palace.

"These days, I only eat eggs and longan."

Concubine Li said this, obviously because she was afraid of others tampering with her, so she only ate such closed food.

However, Xingzhi said: "Your Majesty, we have a small kitchen in the palace, and the food cooked by the servants can barely be eaten. How about replacing the portions in our palace with ingredients and cooking by yourself?"

Concubine Li shook her head. It was easy for anyone to do something in the small kitchen. Besides, who could guarantee that the ingredients delivered would not be poisoned?

Concubine Li was able to come up with a poisonous plan in just a moment. The more she did, the more she looked at everything now and felt unsafe. She had no idea that the emperor had forcibly saved her life and was still fighting against the air.

Concubine Li couldn't fully trust even the Xingzhi in front of her.

Li Ziqin, who was outside the palace, looked very ugly when he received the secret letter that took many twists and turns to reach him. It could have explained a lot of problems if Grandma Chen had not delivered the letter in person.

The reply this time was also extremely slow.

Concubine Li woke up early the next morning. She didn't care about her hungry stomach. She just leaned up and asked Nanny Chen: "Did my brother send someone to reply to the letter?"

Grandma Chen shook her head helplessly.

On this day, the imperial concubine wanted to ask the question three hundred times a day, but she got a negative answer every time.

Seeing that Concubine Li only ate eggs and longans, but her face became increasingly ugly, Granny Chen and Xingzhi secretly brought their own meals to her.

"Mother, please use some serious food. We have all eaten these meals and they are not poisonous."

The two persuaded him earnestly.

However, Concubine Li looked at the two of them as if they were dead. If the emperor wanted to kill her, these palace attendants who were serving them would definitely not survive. Who knows if they were poisoned with chronic poison.

Concubine Li suddenly heard the sound of silk and bamboo in her ears.

"What day is it today? Is there a banquet being held in the palace?" Concubine Li asked.

Xingzhi hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this is the first palace banquet in summer. It is said that in addition to the clan members, your Majesty also entertained many officials."

Concubine Li's eyes lit up immediately.

But Xingzhi added: "Mother, our lord and wife are not on the banquet list."

Concubine Li was immediately disappointed.

At this time, there was no one in the side hall of Qingliang Hall where a banquet was being held. Niu Niu threw herself into Zhang Yunniang's arms.

"Mom, I miss you so much. I miss you so much that I lose weight." Niu Niu said pitifully.
