I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

The faint cold sandalwood came with the night wind, and Cui Tao was sure that the person behind him was Han Qi.

The chill on his neck was still there, and after hearing her reveal her identity, he still had no tendency to retreat.

The taste of the neck of this knife holder is not so good. If you accidentally lose your footing and fall, blood will flow like a fountain.Even if it's a joke, it's a bit too much.

At the beginning, Cui Tao felt that Han Qi was more suitable for her, most of the reasons were because of "knowledge". Because he is worried that your career and experience are different, he will always misunderstand and question you.

To get along between two people, one must trust, and the other must understand you, so as to be comfortable.For example, Lu Gongbi, on the one hand, he doesn't trust her, and on the other hand, he doesn't understand him.Another example is Han Zong. From the beginning to the end, it is difficult to tell the truth from the lie, and it is always difficult to analyze.

If two people get along more tiring than one, they are not as good as one.

The rich fast travel experience has given Cui Tao a lot of positive things and made her good at many skills, but there are also negative things.For example, she has extremely high assessment standards for the choice of people, especially the choice of the other half, and she even evaluates and grades in her heart based on her behavior all the time.

Today's behavior of Han Qi's delay in fighting the sword directly lowered Cui Tao's rating in his heart. First, he dropped [-] points to respect, and then he added a "pull the weeping willow upside down".

Cui Tao dodged, and after making sure her neck was away from the knife, she leaned up to grab the waist of the person behind her, and suddenly heard Han Qi whisper "for you".

The movement of pulling back was not completed yet, Cui Tao stopped the 'destroying Han''s thorny hand in time, but her leaning body leaned back straight and bumped into Han Qi.

Han Qi was stunned, and lightly embraced Cui Tao's waist, supporting her just in time.

The back and chest are close together, and they can clearly feel the temperature of each other's bodies. The fresh orchid fragrance and the cold sandalwood fragrance intertwine and permeate the surroundings.

Han Qi's breath was just behind Cui Tao's ear, and it seemed to pass by the ear, giving Cui Tao an itchy feeling.

"I accidentally didn't stand firmly." Cui Tao immediately straightened up and stood up, feeling guilty for her misjudgment.

She turned around, bowed lightly to Han Qi, and apologized to him.

Han Qi stared at Cui Tao's smooth forehead, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Cui Tao flicked the broken hair on her temples, and then raised her head to glance at Han Qi, her eyes met his eyes.

"How sneaky?"

"It's so late, and I, a widow, suddenly come to look for an orphan. If someone I know accidentally sees it, I'm afraid it will tarnish the official name of Han Tui."

It turned out that she was thinking of him, but the action of her leaning back just now was not very friendly, but it was exactly what he wanted.

"I heard that you were suddenly called into the palace, is there something wrong?" Han Qi pushed open the door and led Cui Tao in.

Han Qi's study can be regarded as a suite, with a small hall outside, where he can entertain guests.After passing through the sandalwood-carved moon gate is the inner room, which can be regarded as a serious study room, with tables, bookshelves and other things placed.

Now the outside room is not lit, only two oil lamps are lit on the table in the inner room.

It's not good for reading and writing if the light is too dark, but he saves the light in the place where he can see faintly by the light outside.It can be seen that he is not a person who is extravagant and wasteful, but he will spend where he should spend money.

Cui Tao could only see through the light now, what Han Qi was holding was a fan.The white jade is the bone, the color is lustrous, and it looks like a very good thing.Although the fan was closed, a little bit of pink could be vaguely seen on the surface of the fan, and Cui Tao immediately guessed that the pattern might be peach blossoms.

"Is this for me?" Although Han Qi had made it clear just now that it was for her, Cui Tao asked again pretending to be pleasantly surprised.

Han Qi responded and gave the fan to Cui Tao.

The bones of the jade fan were cold, and the edge of the fan handle was angular. No wonder when the edge of the fan touched her neck just now, it gave her the feeling of a cold weapon.It was also because of the right angle that she misunderstood.

This Han Qi is a bit interesting...

Naturally, this jade was not the most exquisite thing Cui Tao had ever seen, but she knew that it was the best jade she could get with Han Qi's current status and ability.

It doesn't matter how valuable something is, the most important thing is that the mind is priceless, and his share of the same cleverness as himself in seeking out the heart.

Cui Tao opened the fan, and sure enough, there were a few pink peach blossoms painted on it. Different from most ink paintings that express artistic conception, each peach blossom on it is pink and thin, as if real flowers bloom in the fan, as if the wind blows It makes people feel that these petals will shake.

This kind of fan usually has poems or inscriptions on the side.He doesn't have this, only a simple word 'peach'.The characters are not like Han Qi's usual style, they are less sharp, more gentle and round, and it looks soft and beautiful against the scene of peach blossoms.

"It's beautiful." Cui Tao couldn't help but praise after appreciating the fan with joy.

Although no gorgeous words were used to describe it, this kind of pure emotion from the heart makes people sound more sincere and straightforward.

"But only 'good-looking'?" Han Qi asked her intentionally.

"It's not 'only', it's all good-looking." Cui Tao's eyes moved from the fan to Han Qi's face, teasing him.

She was saying that people who draw fans are also good-looking.

Han Qi has never liked others to praise his face bluntly. Probably when he was young, he heard too many peers use his appearance as a joke to persuade him not to study too hard, so he felt conflicted in his heart.But Cui Tao's praise, no matter what he praised him, he liked it.

Han Qi raised the corners of his mouth happily, poured tea for Cui Tao, and asked her if she had eaten.

"Of course not. I'm so hungry. As soon as I enter the palace, I pay homage to the queen mother, the official's house, look at the corpse, check this and that, and run away. I came here directly after I left the palace. The news of entering the palace worries me."

When Cui Tao described it, she was a little bit exaggerated. Naturally, it was to make Han Qi feel sorry for her hard work, and to get her more delicious food.

Han Qi called for Zhang Chang, but he didn't let Zhang Chang in, and sent him to collect food through the door.On this point, it was also to follow Cui Tao's wishes.

Cui Tao was afraid of tarnishing his name, but Han Qi thought that one day Cui Tao still didn't like him, but she couldn't get along with him today and thus ruined her reputation.

Although he trusted Zhang Chang very much, his mouth would get out of control when he couldn't tell.He still didn't want the slightest mistake to exist, and tried his best to be good for her.

Cui Tao briefly told Han Qi what happened in the palace.After all, it involved some insidious means in the palace. Cui Tao originally thought that Han Qi should be surprised at his age.

But seeing Han Qi's calm face, Cui Tao couldn't help wondering why Han Qi was so calm, and where did he get knowledge?

"Compared to Empress Lu's pig, this is nothing."

Seeing that Cui Tao had finished drinking the tea, Han Qi poured another cup for her, his movements were still gentle and refined, and the hand holding the handle of the pot seemed to be foul.

It seems that the saying of "reading a lot" is really not an excuse. Books are as rich as the sea, as long as you read enough books, you will not be afraid of being uninformed.

"Don't go ahead, just look at the case files of the Kaifeng Mansion in recent years, and you can see that there are many people who practiced cruel ways. As you said, what the Empress Dowager did was just an ordinary secret method in the palace. "Han Qi then sighed, "The Empress Dowager Liu is a scheming person. If she wanted to kill the Lord of Yu County, she would not be so offended."

In Han Qi's view, the Empress Dowager Liu was able to tolerate Lord Yu, otherwise, with Empress Dowager Liu's sharp eyes, Lord Yu would have secretly dealt with her as early as when she was beginning to be favored.

Empress Dowager Liu was able to assist the young emperor to ascend the throne, control the government for more than ten years, and make the country prosperous. She was definitely not the generation of idle women.What she looked at was the court, the emperor and the Song Dynasty.If she really wanted to quarrel with a little concubine in the harem, there would be plenty of ways for people to deal with them silently without being caught.

Cui Tao nodded and agreed with Han Qi's statement.Even the servants in front of the Empress Dowager didn't pay attention to Lord Yuxian, and even showed their disregard for the death of Lord Yuxian, and they didn't bother to cover it up.

It can be seen that the Yu County Lord is really believed to have died at the hands of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will not care too much about it.

The reason why Empress Dowager Liu specially summoned her into the palace to thoroughly investigate the cause of Yuxian Jun's death was for Zhao Zhen, and she cared about the mother-child relationship between herself and Zhao Zhen.

"Tomorrow, if you go to the palace, you can go to the imperial hospital, or there may be some clues." Han Qi suggested.

"I'm alone in the palace, can Liu Lang let me go?" Cui Tao looked at Han Qi anxiously, as if she was a pitiful little girl.

"You can handle it easily." Han Qi laughed.

Cui Tao followed suit with a smile, and did not deny that, with her ability, she would naturally be able to get away with it in the palace.

"If there is something wrong, you can cry loudly, and the matter will be resolved," Han Qi said.

"So what?" Cui Tao asked suspiciously.

Han Qi just smiled and said nothing, as if he wanted to trick Cui Tao on purpose.

Cui Tao was really curious, could it be that Han Qi could reach into the harem?She will see and see tomorrow.

The hot meal arrived.

Han Qi only asked Zhang Chang to put the food box outside the door, and he took it himself and put it on the table for Cui Tao.

Dishes include Chengsha dumpling, pig ears in sauce, and Baxianlou roast chicken, which she is quite fond of.Afterwards, Chef Fang brought steamed cheese with rose sugar, crispy fried lamb chops, deer gluten noodles, and a glass of chilled bamboo leaf wine with some honeyed plum blossoms on ice.

The self-brewed wine is slightly turbid, and the wine soup is white. After adding honey-soaked plum blossoms, after stirring, the vermilion plum blossoms hang on the surface, and the white plum flesh sinks in the bottom, which is quite a bit like a cocktail.

Bamboo leaf wine has the fresh taste of bamboo leaves. Now it has added plum fragrance, and it will increase the sweetness after chilling. It is fragrant and sweet when you drink it.

The deer tendon noodles are old deer tendon noodles left over from the last time they had a whole deer banquet at Han Qi's place. After being soaked for three full days by Mrs. Fang, they were braised in soy sauce, soft and elastic, and then boiled with soup and vegetables. face.

Nibbling on a piece of crispy fried lamb chops, the corners of the mouth are still stained with oil, so I took a sip of the deer tendon noodles in clear soup, and the sauced pig ears and Chengsha dumplings should also be taken care of. , There is a hearty feeling of "I want to go home with the wind".

When Cui Tao had just finished eating, she seemed to have regained her senses and regained her senses, remembering that Han Qi was still in this room.

Noticing that there was an extra handkerchief at his hand at some point, Cui Tao wiped his mouth with the handkerchief, then softly chewed what was left in his mouth, rolled his eyes, and searched for where Han Qi was in the room.

Why was his presence so low just now?

"Finished?"

When Han Qi suddenly made a sound, Cui Tao was startled and turned to look at him.

"Did anyone tell you not to talk behind people's backs?" Cui Tao hiccupped immediately.

"No, but now we have." Han Qi glanced at the little food left on the table, and asked her if she was full.

"Eat everything, and you will be full!" Cui Tao picked up his chopsticks again, and stuffed the rest of the food into his stomach.

Han Qi was sitting diagonally across from Cui Tao. After hearing her finish eating, she hiccupped twice and asked her what was wrong.

I'm not afraid that she can eat it, but I'm afraid that eating too much will be bad for her health.

"It seems that I was hiccupping because I was scared by you just now, and I was not feeling well. You just need to scare me a little more!" Cui Tao signaled Han Qi to scare her quickly.

Han Qi smiled helplessly and sighed: "You've eaten so much, are you all right?"

"Liu Lang should know about my appetite. If I'm a bit hungry today, I'll eat a little more." Cui Tao asked casually, "Why, Liu Lang doesn't like it?"

"Yes." Han Qi agreed.

Cui Tao looked at Han Qi in surprise, she really didn't see that Han Qi would have any objections in this regard.

Of course, the image of her eating just now is somewhat inelegant according to the etiquette constraints of ancient women.It should be said that it was not very elegant before, but now it is a little bit more indecent than before.Because when she is very hungry, the temperament of a starved ghost can easily come out.

Cui Tao took a sip of tea, wiped her mouth again, and got up to say goodbye to Han Qi.

Han Qi glanced at the jade fan left on the table and reminded Cui Tao that he forgot to take it.

Cui Tao looked at Han Qi puzzled: "Do you still need to take it? My favorite thing is to eat. Liu Lang hates me so much. Do we still need to be together?"

Han Qi glanced at Cui Tao.

"What are you looking at me for?" Cui Tao looked back at Han Qi a little annoyed, pursed her mouth, and pinched her waist.

"No more hiccups." Han Qi said.

Cui Tao: "..."

Oh, no more hiccups, she forgot about it.

In Cui Tao's perception, normally when she hiccups to make the other party scare her, it is because the other party suddenly pats her on the back, or suddenly yells "ah" at her when she is not paying attention.

It was the first time she had seen someone like Han Qi 'surprise' her with a gentle attitude.

He also thought that Han Qi wanted to teach her how to eat, so he wanted to scare her instead.

"Did you really think I would dislike you?" Han Qi picked up the jade fan and handed it to Cui Tao, "I've seen you in the most down-and-out appearance, what is this?"

This sentence made Cui Tao suddenly recall that when she was reborn, she was squatting in a stinky prison, and she was skinny, with disheveled hair, and hadn't bathed for more than half a month...

What Han Qi said was right, he had seen her at her worst.

However, it seems that it is not so comparable.

"At that time, you didn't have any other intentions for me. It wasn't that you were attracted to me after you got clean." Cui Tao muttered.

"It wasn't there at that time, but now it is, and if you think back to you at that time, you also have it."

Han Qi raised his arm for a long time, seeing that Cui Tao still didn't take the fan, he took her hand and directly stuffed the jade fan into Cui Tao's hand.

Unexpectedly, when he looked back at Cui Tao again, Cui Tao was looking at him tearfully.

"Likuro is so kind to me."

Seeing that Han Qi was about to withdraw his hand, Cui Tao quickly grabbed his fingers.

Today, the dog man took advantage of her 'weakness' to plot against her twice.

Okay, you are smart enough, I will give you an official recognition: hand in hand.

Han Qi was stunned for a moment, then shook his hand back.

Cui Tao's fingers were slender and soft, smooth and tender to the touch, almost crushing him in an instant.

No matter how much he conspired, it was not as effective as her simple pull of the hand to defeat him.

Cui Tao also deliberately scratched Han Qi's palm like a feather tickling, forcing Han Qi to frown.

After Han Qi paused for a while, he said softly to Cui Tao, "I'll take you back."

"It's better not to, it's not good to be seen by others."

Han Qi took the scissors, cut off two pieces of the curtain in the room, and handed one piece to Cui Tao.

Cui Tao covered her face.Han Qi then also covered his face.

Both of them were covered with navy blue curtains, only showing a pair of eyes to look at each other, and they couldn't help laughing when they looked at each other.

Cui Tao took the jade fan she was holding in her left hand to her right hand, because her left hand happened to be holding hands with Han Qi, so her movement naturally separated from Han Qi's hand.

When the two of them first left the house, Cui Tao cautiously looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else on the street, she trotted to catch up with Han Qi, and put her left hand next to Han Qi's right.

The two immediately clasped their fingers together and went to Kaifeng mansion side by side.

When they arrived at the back door of Kaifeng Mansion, Han Qi told Cui Tao to go back and rest well, and specifically said that he was not allowed to drink anymore.

Cui Tao was stunned for a moment: "How does Liu Lang know that I want to drink?"

"When I just ate, there was only one cup. You didn't enjoy yourself," Han Qi said.

Cui Tao didn't expect Han Qi to even notice this. In addition to explaining that he is smart and careful, is he also explaining that he has been secretly watching her while she is eating?

"It's not about restraining you, it's just that when you enter the palace tomorrow, it's better to be clear-headed." Han Qi continued to explain.

"Yes." Cui Tao responded with a sweet smile.

Han Qi wanted to let go of Cui Tao's hand, but Cui Tao refused to let go, and hooked his fingers retainingly.

Han Qi's heart moved, Mo Mo stared at Cui Tao, and seemed to have something to say, but he held back after all.

Cui Tao could roughly guess what he wanted to say, and the topic of marriage really should wait.

"Liulang sleep well. When I come back from the palace tomorrow, I will take Wang Siniang and Ping'er to Liulang's mansion to make zongzi. I want to make the biggest one for Liulang, the kind that can't be eaten in several meals." .”

The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Han Qi has no family in Beijing, nor does Cui Tao, Wang Siniang, or Ping Er, so they can get together to celebrate the festival.

Han Qi couldn't help laughing, her innocent appearance at this time made it easier to move people's emotions, and it was hard to let go.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Han Qi caressed Cui Tao's face, as restrained as last time, just touched it lightly, but in fact it just touched the curtain on Cui Tao's face, "Go. "

Cui Tao ran to the back door of Kaifeng Mansion, turned to look at Han Qi who was still standing there, and told him to go first.

Han Qi asked Cui Tao to return home first.

"Liu Lang has already sent me here, so I should watch Liu Lang go back." Cui Tao insisted.

Han Qi smiled lightly, then turned around and paced back. At first, his pace was a little slow, but then he sped up.Since he never heard the sound of the door closing behind him, Han Qi didn't look back.

If I look back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go home, even if I look at each other for a night with Cui Tao, I am willing.

Cui Tao didn't know that Han Qi had thought so much during such a short journey.When the figure watching Han Qi disappeared, she closed the door, and happily ran back to the deserted courtyard with the jade fan in her hand.

It wasn't too late at night, Wang Siniang and Ping'er sat opposite each other in the gazebo, both of them put their chins on their hands, nodding and dozing off from time to time.

When Cui Tao opened and closed the courtyard door, Ping'er woke up first and shouted.Wang Siniang woke up, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, and hurried over.

"How is it? Are you okay in the palace? Why are you coming back so late? Is there someone in the palace making things difficult for Lady Cui?" Ping'er immediately asked a series of questions.

Wang Siniang looked at Cui Tao with great concern, as if worried that she was missing arms and legs.

"It's nothing, but the queen mother asked me to investigate a case." Cui Tao told them not to worry, and hurried back to sleep.

"Have you eaten yet? We left rice in the pot for Mrs. Cui."

After Pinger finished speaking, she expressed a little embarrassingly that she and Wang Siniang actually cooked food for Cui Tao, but after tasting it, they found that it was barely enough to eat, so they went to a restaurant outside to buy some delicious food. Prepare the dishes for Cui Tao.

"After eating, I can take a shower with hot water."

Wang Siniang didn't suspect him, and immediately went to prepare hot water for Cui Tao.

Ping'er was somewhat puzzled, and asked Cui Tao whether the meal was given by the emperor.Seeing Cui Tao's denial, she was puzzled again and asked, "So you came back after eating in the restaurant outside first?"

"Probably." Cui Tao agreed.

Ping'er looked at the jade fan in Cui Tao's hand, "Is this also bought by the way?"

"Don't worry about how it came here, anyway, you all know that this is my baby, you and Wang Siniang are not allowed to touch even a little bit, you understand?"

Ping'er hurriedly nodded obediently, and then instructed Wang Siniang who brought the water over.

Cui Tao spread out her fan deliberately, and gave them the peach blossoms on the fan, "How is it, does it look good?"

"It's beautiful, it's so beautiful! How come this peach blossom is so realistic!" Wang Siniang stretched her neck and moved closer, and if she moved a little further, she might kiss the fan.

Cui Tao put it away immediately, and put her back behind her to protect it.

When Wang Siniang and Ping'er were taking a bath with Cui Tao, someone came sitting on the stone steps and muttered that Cui Tao's situation was not right.

"That painting looks like it was made by everyone, but it just happened to be named after Mrs. Cui, and it seems that it was specially made for Mrs. Cui." Ping'er analyzed.

Wang Siniang gave her a disgusted look: "Just say it directly, do you think Mrs. Cui has a lover?"

"I didn't say that! You can't talk nonsense about this!" Ping'er hurriedly warned Wang Siniang.

"I know, I still have some sense of propriety." Wang Siniang touched Ping'er's shoulder happily, "But I think Han Erlang should be the one who gave Mrs. Cui the fan, as if he could do something. Son. That jade is worth money at a glance, and there are peaches and peach blossoms, which is like what he once said."

Ping'er suddenly felt uncomfortable, and immediately told Wang Siniang that she wanted to go back to her room to sleep.

Wang Siniang had expected Ping'er to be like this, so she hid her mouth and hilariously.

The next day, Cui Tao and Wang Siniang were sitting in the gazebo having breakfast, when they saw Ping'er coming out of the house with red eyes.

"What's the matter?" After Cui Tao asked, she took a big bite of sour stuffing, and looked at Ping'er suspiciously while eating.

"From today onwards, I will cut off the thread of love and cut off all the thoughts I shouldn't have!" Ping'er solemnly stood in front of Cui Tao and Wang Siniang, and solemnly swore.

Cui Tao ate the remaining sour stuffing in her hand, suddenly remembered something, took another one in her mouth, and hurried out of the yard.

After Wang Siniang ate two sour stuffings, seeing Pinger still standing there, she wondered, "What are you still doing? Come and have breakfast."

"I said such an important thing, but you didn't hear it?" Ping'er was puzzled, "I didn't say it loud enough?"

"Have a meal."

Wang Siniang stuffed a sour stuffing into Ping'er's hand, and told her that thinking about those things was not as real as eating.

"I see through men. It's not surprising to see you like this. Mrs. Cui is so smart that she can play men around. You are not worth talking about her. She will go to the palace soon Handle big cases."

Ping'er lowered her head and silently took a bite of the sour stuffing. Thinking about it, it was the same reason. Among the three, she was the only one who couldn't see it.

"Is it really decided?" Wang Siniang asked.

"It's decided!" Ping'er said firmly.

Wang Siniang laughed: "Actually, I deliberately teased you last night. It must not be Han Erlang. Mrs. Cui doesn't like him."

Pinger: "..."

……

After Cui Tao took three knives from the mortuary, she followed Qi Diantou who picked her up into the palace.

This time, as soon as Cui Tao appeared in Zhilan Palace, Gong Meiren and Jia Meiren also appeared. After looking at Cui Tao, they also asked Cui Tao about Yu County Lord.

The two beauties had all their good words, and even bribed Cui Tao with gold hairpins and jade rings, and praised Cui Tao a lot.

After Cui Tao cheekily thanked the two beauties for their reward, she kept her mouth shut and did not disclose any information. Instead, she asked a lot about Lord Nayu from their mouths.

A year ago, Mr. Yu County was still slightly fat, and his appearance was far less good-looking than it is now.Although he danced well, he was considered a flexible fat man, but after all, he was not as attractive as that graceful body dancing.

"Half a year ago, she suddenly lost weight and became more and more beautiful. Only then did she attract the attention of the officials at the palace banquet, and she was favored later." Gong Mei said humanely.

"Then how is her temper after being favored, but she is so proud of being favored, and she has a bad attitude towards the two beauties?" Cui Tao asked again.

Gong Meiren and Jia Meiren glanced at each other.

"Miss Cui really dare to ask, how can we speak ill of the deceased." Jia Meiren sighed.

"It's not a bad word, but it's just telling the truth. If you two provide important clues that will help solve the cause of Yu County Lord's death, I will give credit to the officials and the Queen Mother." Cui Tao said.

Both Gong Meiren and Jia Meiren were a little hesitant. The people in the palace were all thoughtful and used to being cautious in their words and deeds.Normally speaking, they would never be honest about this kind of questioning.Even though there are only three of them in this room now, they dare not speak casually.

But they have seen how powerful this lady Cui is.Yesterday, she was highly valued by the officials. She checked the situation in this courtyard, and the officials watched in person. She was also calm and at ease, and was summoned by the Queen Mother twice.

I also heard that Luo Duzhi, who just said that no one dared to offend her, was furious.What's interesting is that Luo Duzhi went to complain to the Queen Mother yesterday, but was reprimanded by the Queen Mother, and he is still kneeling outside the Ciming Hall to be punished.

No matter what you say, they are also fourth-rank beauties, and the officials from Kaifeng Mansion had to salute them when they saw them.Mrs. Cui is still able to deal with them calmly now, and she dares to speak out, which shows that the rumors about her are true.

"Then let's tell the truth for the sake of the dead Lord Yuxian's peace."

Jia Meiren and Gong Meiren immediately told Cui Tao that Mr. Yu County is actually not a bad tempered person, but it cannot be said that she is a good-tempered person.Because he has read a lot of poetry and books, he is very talented, he can speak easily, and his temperament is relatively true. He is not bad in treating people, and he can be regarded as a person who values ​​affection, but he is also ruthless when he opens his mouth to stab people.If anyone is disliked by her, just sarcasm and don't care about it, but anyone who is so narrow-minded will be angry for a while.

"At first we were a little uncomfortable, but after getting along with her for a long time, we all know that she has this kind of personality, so when she speaks harshly, we just smile and let it go."

"Does anyone in the palace hold grudges against her because of this?" Cui Tao asked again.

"I don't know if I hold grudges, but she must have offended someone because of it. Back then, in order to protect the people around her, even Luo Du knew that she dared to quarrel. You can see that her mouth is so powerful that she doesn't care about it."

After Gong Meiren finished speaking, she sighed and lamented that if Mr. Yu's personality was outside the palace, she might be able to get away with it, and some people would respect her as a talented woman, but inside the palace, she is really a disadvantaged temperament.

"Then, in the past half a month, is there anything unusual about her, compared with before?"

The two thought for a while.

Gong Meiren said that Mr. Yu County seems to be more tempered than before, but he also has the ability to play with his temper. After all, she has become more and more favored by officials in recent days.

Jia Meiren said that Mr. Yu seemed to be a little mentally ill, and she would be distracted when talking to her.

"You don't understand that. It's because you're mentally weak." Gong Meiren smiled with meaningful eyes, and whispered to Jia Meiren, "Don't the officials often come at night, so naturally they are not good during the day."

Jia Meiren was stunned, nodded again and again to express the truth, and then gave Gong Meiren a push.

"Look at you, talk nonsense, Mrs. Cui is still waiting to be married."

"It doesn't matter. There are too many autopsies. I don't understand what is there. Most of these men like women who want to refuse. Just a little is enough, as long as you are not serious, you are not serious." Cui Tao seemed to be talking casually, but in fact, to thank the two for providing clues, "Thank you two beauties, the information is very useful."

Cui Tao left after saying that.

Jia Meiren and Gong Meiren looked at each other.

"It makes sense."

"It's a pity that I just can't let it go in private." Jia Meiren sighed. The ladylike education she had received since she was a child prevented her from doing anything too indecent. "We have to learn from it."

"Yes, to learn."

……

Cui Tao asked the four beauties about string music, singing, dancing and painting again.They don't think that Yuxian Jun has a bad temper or low energy recently.

"Mr. Yu County is being favored, and he is in a good mood every day. Occasionally, he is in a bad mood. I think it's because he didn't sleep well." The explanation given by Xian Yue was the same as Gong Meiren's guess.

Cui Tao: "How did Mr. Nayu suddenly lose weight half a year ago?"

"I have been in the palace for three years, and if I don't get favored again, I will grow old. Yuxian Jun is also ruthless, just shut up, and he is hungry every day, so he finally lost weight." String music said.

Cui Tao asked the four of them again how the Lord of Yuxian was doing, and all of them said that there was no problem.

Afterwards, Cui Tao listened to Han Qi's suggestion and went to the imperial hospital to investigate the pulse case of Yuxian Jun's three years since he entered the palace.Once in the first year and twice in the second year, the imperial physician will be invited to check the pulse because of the cold.Since November last year, her pulse calls have become more frequent, but each time she is prescribing medicine on the grounds of regulating the spleen and stomach.Calculating from the time, Mr. Yuxian began to lose weight at that time.

Cui Tao found out that there were two imperial physicians who had diagnosed the pulse of Mr. Yu County. Two years ago, it was an old imperial physician surnamed Qu, and now he has retired and returned home.Now this person is also surnamed Qu, and is the son of that old doctor.

Cui Tao called the young Imperial Physician Qu and asked him why he prescribed medicine to regulate the intestines and stomach every time.

"In order to lose weight, Mr. Yu County often starves himself, hurting his spleen and stomach."

"Really?" Cui Tao stared at Doctor Qu.

"Yes." Imperial Physician Qu agreed.

"Really?" Cui Tao asked again.

Physician Qu looked up at Cui Tao in puzzlement, and agreed again.

"Really?" Cui Tao asked for the third time.

Physician Qu made a bow, "I don't understand what Miss Cui means?"

"Then let me ask another question, does Mr. Yu have other diseases?" Cui Tao asked for the fourth time.

"No."

"It doesn't matter if you lied to me, but I will present the evidence you said to the officials and the queen mother, then you are deceiving the emperor. You will die, and your family will be implicated. Especially when you are old How pitiful and innocent is the father who has returned home?" Cui Tao threatened.

Physician Qu lowered his head deeply, not daring to take a look at Cui Tao, his face became paler.

"Whether she lost weight due to illness six months ago, she needs to adjust her spleen and stomach, or she lost weight because of dieting. I just need to cut open her body to find out. At that time, your crime of deceiving the emperor will be condemned to death." No chance of standing up."

Physician Qu opened his mouth in shock when he heard that Cui Tao was going to have an autopsy. He probably didn't expect that Cui Tao, who looks so young and beautiful, would dare to do such a thing to the concubine.

"Even if she is sick, it can't prove that she got it half a year ago. It may be that she has been unwell recently and suffered a sudden illness." Imperial Physician Qu argued.

"Doctor Qu has been thinking about this excuse for a long time, right?" Cui Tao asked.

"I don't know what Miss Cui is talking about."

"Are you and Xian Yue, Xian Ge, Xian Dance, and Xian Painting, are you an accomplice?" Cui Tao pressed further.

Physician Qu looked at Cui Tao in shock and innocently: "What fellow, I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Those four maids are lying, and you are lying too. It will naturally make people think that you are accomplices. But no matter what, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and you have not repented.

If you feel that you can explain your words clearly in front of the Queen Mother, you can continue to pretend. "

After Cui Tao finished speaking, she turned and left.

Imperial Physician Qu hesitated for a moment, and immediately called Cui Tao to stop: "I am not with them, I just came to pity Yu County Lord for his serious illness, but he failed to fulfill his wish, so I feel sorry for her."

Physician Qu immediately told Cui Tao that when he was a child, he was a neighbor of Jun's family in Yu County, and when they met in the palace, it was inevitable that they felt close.Half a year ago, he took the pulse of Mr. Yu County and found that she was sick, but he couldn't figure out what the cause was. Her five internal organs were not well, so he could only let her take care of her.

"Mr. Yuxian said that some people in her family have suffered from this disease. They can't live for more than two years, and some even died early in their teens. Now it's her turn, and no one can stop her. She just wants to survive. When she was young, she could have a good time with the man she admired."

This man naturally refers to Emperor Zhao Zhen.

"She was sincere and begged me on her knees, saying that if I reported to her that she was ill, she would never have the chance to attend the banquet and see the officials. She also said that she would not trouble me, that she would be discovered one day, and only said The illness was sudden, and it was caused by her eating indiscriminately. I agreed with her and did not write a real pulse case for her."

Physician Qu sighed, regretting that he shouldn't have caused this trouble.

Cui Tao brought Imperial Physician Qu to Zhao Zhen, trying to clarify all these situations.The death of Lord Yu County is now basically confirmed to be a suicide.

But after the meeting, before Cui Tao could open her mouth, Zhao Zhen was furious at her and told her to get out of the palace immediately.
