Princess [rebirth]

After the veil on Maiko's face was untied, everyone present couldn't help but gasped when they saw her appearance. Maiko felt more confident in her heart when she heard the faint sound of breathing coming from all around.She puffed up her chest slightly and looked up at the saint's direction, but she was not so stupid as to stare directly at the saint's face, but placed her gaze on the saint's front.

Dou Chun narrowed his eyes and looked at the maiko standing below. Even though he thought he had a firm mind, he had to admit that he was indeed amazed by the appearance of the maiko just now. The appearance of the maiko was the most beautiful he had ever seen in his life. If he didn't already have his own heart, he might be attracted by the other party.

But at this moment, he was only in a daze for a moment, and then he soon came to his senses, and the first moment he woke up, he turned his head to look at Zhuo Jingfan beside him, seeing that Zhuo Jingfan was not affected by the other person's appearance, Only then did he feel relieved.

Zhuo Jingfan naturally sensed Dou Chun's gaze, but he didn't pay attention to him, but sat down on the seat with his head lowered, he could see the appearance of that maiko very clearly, even if he said he was beautiful and beautiful, he didn't care. Excuse me, it's just that although he saw such a beautiful lady for the first time in his life, he had seen one in his previous life, and that was the biological mother of his good second brother Hui Wang, Concubine Qi.

Although he knew that the other party had nothing to do with Concubine Qi, at most he might be Concubine Qi's ancestor, but when he saw that familiar face, hatred and resentment rose in his heart. It can be said that the situation in Li is difficult, and all this is because his father favors Concubine Qi only, and even gave birth to the idea of ​​abolishing the empress and the prince.

In fact, he thought about it for a long time after he became Zhuo Jingfan. Even if he hadn't died under the assassination, he might end up badly. , more and more love, even if he escaped the scheme of the second brother, the father will not pass the throne to him, when the second brother takes the throne in the future, he, the elder brother who has occupied the crown prince for many years, the best end I am afraid that he will also be locked up to death. ...

"...Empress, what do you think?" Dou Chun's voice suddenly sounded, waking up Zhuo Jingfan who was immersed in his own thoughts. worried.

"Returning to the saint, I have no objection." Zhuo Jingfan calmed down, glanced at Dou Chun, and said slowly.

"Since the queen also thinks so, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore. I have made up my mind, and I accept King Yan's kindness." Dou Chun nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the people below and said.

Zhuo Jingfan had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on the surface. Although he didn't hear the conversation clearly just now, it didn't prevent him from being able to understand Dou Chun's eyes. He and Dou Chun had a good understanding. Many times, you don't even need to speak, you can know each other's thoughts with just a look, so his answer just now is exactly according to Dou Chun's intention.

At this moment, when he heard Dou Chun mentioning King Yan, he felt a little clear in his heart, it seems that it should be a topic about whether people enter the harem.The King of Yan is Dou Chun's great-uncle. He used to dance a lot when the late emperor was around. Many concubines in the palace of the late empress were connected by this king of Yan. He was not empowered because of this.This King Yan was the son of Emperor Xuan in his later years, so he was about the same age as the previous emperor, only half a hundred this year, but he was from Dou Chun's grandfather's generation.

After the late emperor left, this one was the one who made the most noise, he was also the first clan to jump out to persuade Dou Chun to accept the harem, Zhuo Jingfan looked coldly at this old and disrespectful elder, it was really hard to respect him sincerely .The atmosphere at the scene also became a little awkward because of Dou Chun's polite but firm refusal.

"Sage Rong, the king of Yan thought it was a good intention. Now there are only the empress and concubine in the harem, and the concubine is pregnant, so that's why the king of Yan made this proposal..." Xu Meiren was a little condensed when she saw the scene, and hurriedly spoke softly Said, but she was interrupted before she finished speaking.

"To the sage, I see that the beauty is so knowledgeable, and understands King Yan's painstaking efforts like this. If you are a sage, you will have all the filial piety of the beauty." Zhuo Jingfan said suddenly, raising his voice and laughing.

"Alright, beauty, since the queen has given you grace, why don't you hurry up and thank you." Dou Chun responded kindly, and said lightly to Xu Meiren.

Xu Meiren was a little tongue-tied, not knowing how things would turn out like this?She was still a little dazed, but the sage had spoken, so even if she didn't want to, she had no choice but to stand up and salute the queen to thank the queen, and after she finished saluting, the sage said again: "Li Niang, come and see your new master soon. "

I saw that beautiful maiko with a stiff face, walking step by step in front of Xu Meiren's seat, saluting and greeting the beauty with a blank face, Xu Meiren's heart is as disgusting as swallowing a fly at this moment, she was originally She wanted this beautiful maiko to disgust the queen, but she didn't expect that the queen would reward her with just a touch of lip service. It wasn't until this time that Xu Mei regretted it so much that she managed to open her mouth.

The servant girl next to Xu Meiren saw that her face was not good-looking, she rolled her eyes, and when no one was paying attention, she bent down and whispered a few words in her ear quickly. Said in a low voice: "That's the reason, you are right, I was thinking about it." Seeing that she was thinking about it, the palace maid felt relieved.

If it was as usual, the palace servants would not care about whether Xu Meiren's mood was tangled and depressed, but Xu Meiren's identity was different at this time. She carried the master's blood in her belly, so she couldn't be careless at all. How could she just sit and watch She was depressed, what if it affects the fetus?Therefore, I had to explain a few words to the other party.

At this time, Meiren Xu really figured it out because of those few sentences. The maid said just now that it would be good to let the maiko stay in the Zichen Palace. First, Meiren Xu can take the opportunity to control the other party. Solid favorite.Historically, concubines have always favored these methods. When concubines are pregnant and unable to sleep, they will often choose a trustworthy and beautiful maid to serve the saint for them. First, the maid around them is easy to control, and second When the sage came to favor the servant girl, he must be in his own bedroom, which can be regarded as keeping the sage's footsteps.

Xu Meiren also thought of this point. She had been thinking about Gu Chong, but she hadn't found a good candidate. The two personal servants beside her were all Mu Xuan's people. If Mu Xuan didn't speak, she I'm afraid I can't control them.Now that she has this maiko, if she can hold the maiko in her hands, then the maiko is indeed the best candidate to help her secure her favor.

Although the appearance of the maiko is high-class, but her status is low. Even if she enters the palace, she is just a low-level palace maid serving her. The saint just said very clearly that she is the new master of the maiko. If she does not speak in the future, Where can a maiko get close to a saint?Want to climb the dragon bed?It also depends on whether she agrees or not!

A mocking smile flashed across the corner of Xu Meiren's mouth, and she raised her eyes to glance at the maiko standing beside her, already thinking about how to train her. ...

Zhuo Jingfan and Dou Chun exchanged a few words, and transferred the dancer that King Yan wanted to give to Dou Chun to Xu Meiren, but what they said was so sincere that King Yan couldn't find a reason to refute it. After all, Xu Meiren was the one who started first. Thinking of this, King Yan couldn't help but secretly glanced at Xu Meiren. This Xu Meiren really did not accomplish anything well enough to fail, so he blamed Mr. Mu Lang for not telling the other party about the important events.

After the maiko's whereabouts were decided, the sage waved his hands to make the other maikos retreat. He had doubted the four maikos holding on to the dagger just now, but the other party didn't make any changes, so Dou Chun was a little puzzled. I don't know if the assassin arranged by Mu Xuan has appeared or not.

Just when Dou Chun was thinking about Mu Xuan's possible actions, there was a muffled groan from the right side, followed by a few soft shouts, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see Xu Meiren protecting her with one hand. Stomach, covered her mouth with one hand, blood was already flowing out from between her fingers, Xu Meiren's face was pale, and cold sweat continued to break out on her forehead.

"Go get the imperial physician!" Dou Chun stood up suddenly, shouted in a deep voice, and quickly walked towards Xu Meiren who was lying in the arms of the maidservant.

Dou Chun's sudden departure attracted everyone's attention, even the musicians who were playing silk and bamboo stopped. There was only a whisper of conversation in the hall, and the deep voice of the sage asking about Xu Meiren's condition.Just when the saint's attention was on Xu Meiren, there was another commotion behind him, and Dou Chun heard Fuling's voice full of panic, "Empress Empress—"

Dou Chun was startled, and turned her head quickly, only to see Zhuo Jingfan's eyes were full of astonishment, and he covered his mouth with one hand, but he couldn't hide the bright red that kept overflowing.Seeing this, Dou Chun's eyes were tearing, he stood up abruptly, and threw himself at Zhuo Jingfan, his voice trembling, "What's wrong?! What happened? Why did the good queen vomit blood? !"

Seeing that both the Queen and Xu Meiren had accidents, the clans below were in an uproar. Everyone looked at each other, and there was a trace of worry in their eyes. It was obvious that someone wanted to poison the sage's harem. I don't know who did it. The saint succeeded under his nose.

But before everyone finished thinking about it, suddenly a few ladies in the banquet, like Xu Meiren and the queen, fell down covering their mouths. As more and more people fell down, Dou Chun immediately stood up and ordered Lu Fu sealed the gate of the hall, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Only Imperial Physicians Qin and Imperial Physician Hu could enter the Hall of Longevity.

After a while, the two imperial physicians arrived. The saint first caught them to treat the queen, and Xu Meiren, who was lying on the side, stared in the direction of the queen with hatred in her eyes. She was clearly pregnant with a dragon heir, but the saint asked the imperial physician to treat her first. The queen treated her, but left her aside in the cold, and her heart became cold. Could it be that the saint's love for her a while ago was all fake?

At this time, the disciple of Imperial Physician Qin and the medicine boy were sent by the sage to treat Xu Meiren and the family members present. Although everyone felt a little dissatisfied, they did not dare to complain. After all, who would dare to compete with the Queen for the imperial physician?Fortunately, these disciples of Imperial Physician Qin are quite well-known, and they are also on duty at the Imperial Medical Office on weekdays. Besides, it is a time of life and death, so the wives don't care about it, and obediently cooperate with the disciples of Imperial Physician Qin see a doctor.

Only Xu Meiren had a stinky face, and she didn't believe in the medical skills of Qin Taiyi's disciples at all. She opened her pitiful big eyes and wept silently, as if she was about to die in the next moment, crying so sadly.Lang Jun, who was assigned to treat Xu Meiren, looked very embarrassed. He could tell that Xu Meiren didn't believe in his medical skills, and even looked down on him faintly.

But the other party is the concubine of the sage, and he is under the nose of the sage at this time, so even if the gentleman is angry, it is not easy to show it, so he can only hold back his anger and try to calmly say: "Please don't worry, beauty. , although I am not talented, I still have some confidence in medical skills."

Xu Meiren's eyes showed doubts, and she felt that the other party was talking big words. Lang Jun saw the contempt in her eyes, and his heart became more and more displeased. Just as he was still trying to persuade the other party, he heard the sage say coldly: "Shaobai, She doesn't want to accept your diagnosis and treatment, so let her wait." Xu Meiren froze when she heard the words, and looked at Dou Chun with disbelief in her eyes.

"You still can't die. If you are willing to bear the pain and wait, I will fulfill you." Dou Chun was already suffocated because Zhuo Jingfan fell in front of him, and now he saw Xu Meiren holding her like this again Joe, of course, all the anger was directed at the other party.

Seeing that Dou Chun was really angry, Xu Meiren quickly restrained her expression, and said loudly: "The sage calms down, I am convicted, and I ask the sage to forgive me. I am willing to treat you, and I will accept the treatment now." He stretched out his arm and asked Mr. Lang to diagnose his pulse.

Seeing that she was sensible, Dou Chun let out a cold snort and ignored her. He turned his attention back to Zhuo Jingfan, seeing that his face was still pale, and there was a flash of distress and worry in his eyes, "Doctor, what the hell is going on with the queen?" gone?"

"Returning to the saint, can you let me see the food or drink that the queen took last? I think that the queen may have been poisoned by a rare poison." After taking the queen's pulse, the doctor Hu pondered for a while, and asked .

"Poisoning?! Is there a serious problem?" Dou Chun asked quickly, his heart tightened when he heard this.

"This poison is not overbearing at all, and the amount of poison in the queen is very small, as long as it takes a few days of recuperation, it will be fine." Imperial Physician Hu replied respectfully, at this time Fuling was bringing over the last food Zhuo Jingfan had just eaten. , Doctor Hu stepped forward to inspect the dish that was still slightly hot.

Soon after, the disciples who treated the other wives also reported to the sage that those wives were also poisoned, and after they asked Qin Taiyi about the empress's symptoms, they came to a conclusion, that is: the poison of the wives was caused by the empress. It's the same kind.

Dou Chun squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and looked at the gentleman who treated Xu Meiren. The gentleman seemed to have a feeling, and when Dou Chun looked over, he got up Shi Shiran, then walked in front of Dou Chun, and answered respectfully with his arms folded. : "Sage, the poison that the beauty suffers is the same as that of the queen, but the beauty swallows more. If it is not treated properly, it may be..."

"How?" Dou Chun asked in a deep voice, the gentleman gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it will be harmful to the heirs." As soon as he finished speaking, there were a lot of gasping sounds around him, and Dou Chun's eyes flashed After a little bit of obscurity, he said lightly: "Try to keep the child." The gentleman responded respectfully.

On the other hand, Xu Meiren was already limp on the ground. She never thought that she would be poisoned too, and the child in her belly would also be affected by what the man said. How could she bear such a result?The child in her stomach is all her hope. If she has no child, how can she compete with the queen for favor?

Zhuo Jingfan on the other side also heard Lang Jun's report, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. Today's poisoning is not like Mu Xuan's handwriting. At least he knows that Mu Xuan will not attack his heirs. Xuanming knew that the child in Xu Meiren's stomach was his, so how could he put Xu Meiren in danger?And the dish that Xu Meiren was poisoned was specially prepared by the imperial dining room for the pregnant Xu Meiren. It can be said that apart from her, no one else has that dish.

Xu Meiren was poisoned only after eating that dish, obviously the person who poisoned her was aimed at Xu Meiren, so it is unlikely that it was Mu Xuan who did it.

Not only he and Xu Meiren were poisoned, but also the female family members of other clans were poisoned. Such a meticulous conspiracy is not the same as Mu Xuan's style. Besides, the person who poisoned him can escape his and Dou Chun's eyes and ears. Zhuo Jingfan felt chills in his heart. Today's poisoning incident was more like a warning, or a provocation.

After all, the other party was able to successfully poison him. If the other party really wanted to put him to death, he would not be able to sit here safely at this time. Dou Chun beside him seemed to have figured out the joints, and his face became extremely ugly. .

They got the news earlier, knowing that Mu Xuan was going to make trouble at the palace banquet, so they put their eyes on the maiko, but they were put together. He looked at the mess in the palace, and the number of people who fell from the poison was astonishing. As many as one third, it literally slapped him in the face.

Dou Chun felt that this matter must not be left alone, he had to find out who was behind the scenes, and tear him apart in order to get rid of the hatred in his heart. ...

******

There are two large lakes in the northwest of Taiji Palace. The lakes have been frozen due to the low temperature in winter. But at this time, a hole was opened in the surface of one of the large lakes. The size of the hole is just enough for a person to pass through. When the banquet was held, almost all the palace people went to the Longevity Hall to help, and other places in the palace seemed quite deserted.

At this time, from the direction of Yong'an Palace, a soft sedan chair slowly came towards the Great Lake. The saint held a palace banquet in the Longevity Palace, but the concubines in Yong'an Palace were closed and did not come out. The queen mother chanted scriptures and prayed for blessings, but Concubine De, who was supposed to pray in the palace, quietly came to the quiet big lake in a soft sedan chair.

Concubine De and her team came to the big lake quietly. With the help of the maidservants, Concubine De carefully got off the soft sedan chair, and then came to the big lake with a broken hole. She looked at the hole near the center of the lake. , said softly: "Go and salvage the man, it's really pitiful to be thrown there in such a cold day."

The insider beside him listened and hurried forward to salvage the servant girl who was drowned in the lake.

Several people were busy for a while, and salvaged a palace maid who was wet and pale, and had already lost her breath. Concubine De's face flashed with regret, she sighed, and said in a low voice: "Send him out of the palace for burial." , don’t forget to send some silver taels to her home, she has suffered for the master, and she has to settle her family well, so as not to chill the hearts of others.”

After Concubine De finished speaking, she turned around and got on the soft sedan chair again. At this moment, a servant girl came to the lake in a panic, and the aunt who was needed by Concubine De immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?" So flustered? Besides, at this hour, you are not waiting in the Longevity Palace, why did you come here?"

"Girl, something is wrong. Both the empress and Xu Meiren were poisoned, but the empress is fine, but the fetus in Xu Meiren's womb may not be safe." The palace maid lowered her voice and said anxiously.

"What?! Come with me, you report to the concubine yourself." The aunt took a breath after hearing this, and hurriedly led the maid to the soft sedan chair of Concubine De, and let the maid report the matter through the curtain again.

It's just that Concubine De in the sedan chair did not make a sound after hearing this, and after a while, she heard Concubine De say indifferently: "I know, you can go back, there will be no summons from me in the future, so don't come to me without permission. "

"No, I can save you, servant girl." The maidservant's heart skipped a beat, she maintained her calm face, and replied respectfully.

After Concubine De gave her orders, she led all the palace servants and left without looking back. The palace maid stood there until she could no longer see the shadow of the soft sedan chair, and then turned back to the Longevity Hall.At this time, the Longevity Hall was still surrounded by heavy soldiers. The servant girl saw it from a distance and did not go forward. Instead, she observed for a while before heading to the Zichen Hall.

In the side hall of the Zichen Palace, Mu Xuan was sitting on a soft couch. As soon as the servant girl entered the side hall, she quickly walked up to Mu Xuan and said in a low voice: "Master, the Wanshou Palace is still not allowed to enter or leave."

"Well, what's the situation inside now?" Mu Xuan asked casually, playing with a jade stone in his hand.

"Return to master, both the empress and Xu Meiren have been poisoned, but the empress is fine." The maidservant's tone contained a touch of pity, as if she wished the empress had an accident.

"It seems that 'he' has really made a move. The people I arranged have not appeared yet, and he has made such a big fuss. Let's see how 'he' will end up!" Mu Xuan's eyes flashed a gloomy look, calmly said the face.

Seeing Mu Xuan's unkind expression, the palace maid did not dare to make a sound. She stood aside with her head bowed, waiting respectfully for Mu Xuan's instructions. After an unknown amount of time, the palace maid heard Mu Xuan's voice, "You just now Said that Xu Meiren was also poisoned? Is her condition okay?"

The maid's heart skipped a beat again, she endured the fear in her heart, and said slowly: "Return to master, the imperial doctor said that the beauty was poisoned too much, I'm afraid... I'm afraid... it will be a hindrance to the heirs." Yubi's maid felt a pain in her chest, but she was slapped severely by Mu Xuan in a hurry.

The palace maid took several steps back, resisting the pain in her chest and the sweetness in her mouth, quickly knelt down, and said respectfully: "Master, please calm down. This servant has failed to protect the beauty, please forgive me." punishment."

"Punishment? You said it so lightly, is it okay to punish the fetus in Xu Meiren's stomach?!" Mu Xuan stretched out his foot and kicked the maidservant hard, gritting his teeth.

The author has something to say: the matter of the ancestors is not over yet. After solving the ancestors, there are still a few plots. After all, the flood has not been resolved, and there are threats from foreign enemies. Fu Jue is not going to the northwest to play...
