Lin Gongzi medicine jar

When Zhao Jingyi returned to the palace, he saw Zhao Yuanrong who was standing in front of him to greet him. He had only been away for a few months, and this kid didn't have much stature, but his expression and demeanor were quite different.

Most of the childishness disappeared, and there was a heavy look in his eyes.

Zhao Jingyi accepted his son's gift and sent the others away.

After dinner, the waiters were dispersed, and Zhao Jingyi asked: "Is this king going to handle it for you, or do you come by yourself?"

Mother Gu's family has been locked up all this time, Lin Xi has not moved, and Eunuch Cao will not make decisions privately, waiting until Zhao Jingyi returns home.

Zhao Yuanrong thought about this question for a long time, and he was reluctant to give up. Mother Gu took care of him for ten years and accompanied him through the most difficult days, but he never thought that Mother Gu would poison Lin Xi, and even bring disaster to himself , isn't he good enough for her?

If it was handled by Zhao Jingyi, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for such a bold servant to drag him out and chop him up, but...

Seeing his son's contradiction, Zhao Jingyi was not impatient, but picked up the tea and took a sip slowly, and said in a low voice: "This king is with your cousin, so there will be no one else, from now on you will be The stable and stable Prince Rui. Don't talk about feelings, just talk about interests, this matter is very beneficial to you, why did the Gu family act like this, has Rong'er ever thought about it?"

Zhao Yuanrong gave a wry smile when he heard the words, "Son...understand."

Zhao Jingyi put down the teacup, tapped the table with his fingers, "The palace is in chaos now, to avoid complications, I will deal with it tomorrow." Saying this, he waved his hand, and Zhao Yuanrong backed out.

Zhao Yuanrong exited the study and stopped at the door for a while. In fact, he wanted to intercede. However, his father was different from Lin Xi. He had no extra patience to solve the anguish and contradictions in his heart under the ever-changing circumstances. He was as arbitrary as many strict fathers. Walking alone, the son just needs to obey.

Telling him that there is still one night to think about it is the greatest care.

"Sir."

Zhao Yuanrong looked up and saw Eunuch Cao standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile and kindness as usual.

"Is Eunuch Cao going to see his father?"

"Yes, the old slave has something important to report."

Zhao Yuanrong nodded and stepped aside to open the door. Eunuch Cao cupped his hands respectfully, but he couldn't help turning his head when he stepped in and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is very powerful and often away. It's hard to be considerate, there are too many people talking, and even a small matter can spread throughout the capital. But thanks to the decision of the prince, there is no trouble in the palace these days, the prince must be very pleased."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuanrong felt guilty, "It's thanks to Eunuch Cao."

"The son of the world worries too much. The power of the old slave comes from the master. He shares the worries of the master. The duty of the old slave. A slave who has crossed the boundary has two hearts. He has already betrayed the master. How can we talk about the relationship between master and servant?" Two words? The old slave has collected some things these days and put them in the Shizi's study, you might as well take a look when you are doing your homework."

After saying that, Eunuch Cao saluted Zhao Yuanrong again, then pushed away Zhao Jingyi's study and walked in.

"You talk too much. If you can't even do these things well, he is not worthy of being the son of the world. He is emotional and indecisive. How can he be the head of the family."

When Zhao Jingyi's cold words came, Eunuch Cao chuckled, "Your Majesty is still young and kind-hearted, and this old servant is good wherever he looks. As for this little problem, Mr. Lin said that you can teach him slowly. Your lord doesn't have to be too persuasive. he."

Speaking of Lin Xi, Zhao Jingyi's stern expression suddenly softened, and he rubbed his brows, "Xi'er, let's go back to Beijing."

"Yes, you can enter the palace tomorrow morning."

"Notify the palace and take good care of her. Xi'er is weak and has been running around for a day and a night. I'm afraid it will cause the root cause of the disease."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jingyi's complexion became a little bad, thinking whether he would go to the palace tomorrow, but he couldn't let it go if he didn't see anyone.

"Don't worry, my lord. It's just that the backyard is still in custody... The two aunts want to see you."

Zhao Jingyi paused, and looked at Eunuch Cao suspiciously.

Eunuch Cao lowered his head and said: "Aunt Qing said that she is willing to correct Concubine Xian in front of the Emperor." In this way, Prince Rui's residence has completely become a victim.

Behind the willingness, there must be conditions. For this woman, the most important thing now is to save her life, but for Prince Rui's House, this is nothing more than a matter of effort.Lock it in a corner and don't let anyone touch it. When everyone forgets, illness and death are just a word.

"No, she can't stay." Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Jingyi gave Eunuch Cao a cold look, "It's enough to bring those people back."

Eunuch Cao sighed inwardly, "Yes."

His lord, as long as there is even the slightest harm to Lin Xi, he may not be willing to do it.

Zhao Yuanrong saw the booklet in the middle of the table at a glance, and without hesitation, he opened it.

It's not that he doesn't know some things, it's just that he doesn't want to talk about them, because his preference and belief, and his longing for his mother gave Mama Gu a lot of support, and this guard of honor increased her ambition and gave her authority, but She is the nanny next to Shizi, whose wealth makes people shudder.

He suddenly remembered that several personal maids in the past were accused not of being executed or betrayed, but one of them begged him crying and begging him for something. The maid still disappeared.

I didn't care about it at that time, but I remembered it when I read this incriminating evidence.

It is difficult to spit out what you eat, and it is difficult to distribute the power you get. Inflated desires lead to unscrupulous methods.

Zhao Yuanrong closed the booklet, even if he had no intention of poisoning Lin Xi, these alone would be enough to grow grass on Gu's mother's grave.

Is mother Gu treating Zhao Yuanrong well?Naturally, but as a slave, isn't this what it should be?

Zhao Yuanrong lowered his face and called for someone.

It was supposed to be a happy event for the emperor to return to the capital, but because of the poisoning of concubine Shu in the harem, the dinner that day was also canceled.The harem is a shrunken court, and there are countless connections. Families with daughters or sisters who are concubines in the palace are unavoidably worried. The cards handed by the wife were all returned, even the adult princes, the King of Liang and the King of Shu. He was kicked out that day and was not allowed to visit the palace.

Ning Lu from Lizheng Palace knelt in front of the noble concubine and said earnestly: "Your concubine, our empress knows very well that we have offended you for many years. If it weren't for the strict imperial confinement, I would personally apologize to you today. It's just that this matter is very important. Concubine Shu's matter is very likely to involve Concubine Min's crimes eight years ago. Lizheng Palace and Changqiu Palace are both involved. Although the two palaces have had disputes with each other in the past few years, they need to advance and retreat together on this matter. Empress Dowager! Our empress said that if Empress Dowager is willing to remember the kindness of the sisters, after the matter subsides, Lizheng Palace is willing to follow the lead of Changqiu Palace!"

"Horse head?" The imperial concubine glanced at her leisurely, and said with a sneer, "I am a noble concubine, and a mere virtuous concubine should have my horse head. What do you mean after the matter subsides? She still wants to negotiate terms with me. ?”

Listening to the imperial concubine's taunt, Ning Lu gave a wry smile in her heart, and had to bend down and kowtow, "Your servant is wrong, our mother said that His Royal Highness King Liang is the eldest son, and the king of Shu should respect him as an elder brother. Surrender."

The noble concubine laughed, and the flowers and branches ran wildly. It seemed that she was about to laugh out of tears. Ning Lu couldn't help but clenched her fists and continued, "It's not difficult to cure Concubine Shu's poison. If our empress loses power, the emperor feels guilty. I will definitely be able to step up one section, and then hold up the Ninth Prince, and it is not impossible to compete with King Liang, so I invite the imperial concubine and empress three."

The noble concubine laughed for a while, and slowly calmed down, but the sarcasm in her eyes became more and more intense, "Concubine Xian seems to be in a hurry to go to the doctor, did she ever think that she will have today? Well, you go back, I will take care of myself Consider."

Ning Lu looked up at the imperial concubine, feeling disappointed, so she said "yes" and slowly backed out. Even after going to the outer hall, she could still hear the imperial concubine's loud laughter, she couldn't help but sighed deeply, Look at the appearance of the noble concubine, as long as she doesn't make trouble.

As soon as Ninglu left, Eunuch Fang walked up to the noble concubine, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to help Concubine Xian?"

"Help her? Why help her?" The imperial concubine's bright eyes shone brightly, and she said bitterly, "I have been fighting her for so many years, and I dream of stepping on her. Why did you let such a good opportunity go?"

"Your Majesty said so." Eunuch Fang bent down to support the concubine's hand, thought for a while and then said, "It's just your Majesty, although you didn't do anything eight years ago, you were the one who arranged for the person to enter. Will it involve you?"

Speaking of this, a look of uneasiness flashed across the noble concubine's face, and then she raised her chin and sneered: "So what, who knows that the maid is hers, but I didn't check it out, and let someone take advantage of it. At most one crime of dereliction of duty. But as long as that bitch can be stepped down, even without the title of imperial concubine, I am willing to be demoted to a lower level! If it weren't for their mother and son, Liang Wang would have been a prince long ago, hmph!"

"That Concubine Shu and the Ninth Prince over there..."

"No matter how good it is, it's not a mother and child. What is a prince who is underage? Compared with the concubine Xian, he is nothing to be afraid of."

Ning Lu searched for the walls and corners of the palace, avoiding the patrolling guards and inner eunuchs, hurried all the way back to the Changqiu Palace, and was called to Concubine Xian before she could take a sip of tea in relief.

"how?"

Ning Lu could only shake her head.

Concubine Xian was grounded, and she was worried and worried, so she inevitably lost weight, and she didn't have the time to dress up, so she looked up to the sky with a rare plain face.

Ning Lu felt a little sad when she saw it, and persuaded: "My lady, although the imperial concubine does not agree, it is just that the incident eight years ago has something to do with her, and she will not tell the emperor. As long as we hide it well, no one will know."

Concubine Xian snorted mockingly, looked at Ninglu who was deceiving her ears, lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "Master Shan'an of Qingci Temple is too missing."

Ning Lu immediately raised her head, stunned.

"Prince Rui's mansion will definitely go to the Emperor, and I cannot escape the responsibility." Concubine Xian fixed her eyes on Ning Lu, approached suddenly, and then said word by word, "But what happened eight years ago has nothing to do with this palace. Concubine Min reprimanded you in public, humiliated you, you held a grudge, so you asked your mother to secretly bring Leng Mei into the palace, and in the name of this palace, ordered someone to put it in the pregnant concubine's anti-fetal medicine, didn't you?"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Ning Lu's hands and feet were suddenly cold, but her heart seemed to be pounding out, and her eyes were wide open with confusion and innocence.

"Your wife, Anping Hou Mansion, has been sent to the countryside. She is doing well, but the thieves there are more rampant. If you don't pay attention, you will die. Your pregnant siblings and nephews don't want to work hard, and your mother is kind, so you will be sent to another place." Find a place to settle, but you also know that pregnant women with children are always prone to accidents if no one takes care of them..."

"Your Majesty!" Ning Lu looked at her master who had been with her for many years in disbelief, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly, "Your servant has done so much for you, why are you willing to abandon your servant!"

From young age to middle age, youth wasted, and she gave up going out of the palace, only wishing to be with her all the time.As long as Concubine Xian gives orders for vicious things, she will do them without saying a word, but she never thought that she would be blamed on her now without blinking an eye.

"I don't want to give up." Concubine Xian's eyes were full of reluctance, her eyes turned red, and she couldn't help shedding tears. She also knelt down in front of Ninglu, "But I can't help it. My son's great career has not been accomplished, so I can't delay it." I’m not reconciled to his hind legs! Ninglu, my good Ninglu! Didn’t you say that you would do anything for me? Then help me one more time, just this last time, okay? I will treat your family well Yes, your younger brother, I will ask my mother to release him into slavery. By the way, didn’t you say that your nephew should study well? I will ask my mother to hire him a good teacher. He will study and become an official in the future. With the King of Shu around, why worry? High officials and rich salary, it’s all because of you, because of you!”

The helpless low roar made the master and servant cry immediately.

Concubine Xian's revealing of her true feelings made Ning Lu shaken, the companionship she had when she was a child seemed to return to the time when she was not in the palace at this moment.

It's just that this big dye vat in the palace, after so many years, Ninglu also knows the temperament of her master, but for the sake of her family, her younger brother, since they are all dead, deserves to die.

"Your Majesty, let the servants think about it, okay?"

Hearing the looseness in Ning Lu's words, Concubine Xian wiped away her tears, then wiped Ning Lu's eyes, and immediately nodded, "Okay, okay, you don't need to serve here, you can go rest, I will let the little maid serve you, Talk to me as much as you want.”

Ning Lu silently nodded, and let Concubine Xian pull her up.

"Actually, things haven't reached that level. Maybe I was overthinking and worrying for nothing. But what I promised will be done, don't worry." Concubine Xian reluctantly comforted her.

Ning Lu turned around and left the palace gate.
