Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

At the rabbit meat feast in the evening, there was a lot of laughter and laughter, and Fu Heng was given a feast.The bowl in front of Concubine Rong was naturally the one hunted by the emperor.Seeing the tenderness of the rabbit meat, soaked in the sauce and sprinkled with chopped green onions, she leaned closer to the bowl, took a deep breath, and said, "It smells so good!"Sitting aside, the emperor saw that her face was full of an innocent little girl's expression, she was so beautiful, he was very happy, he stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece, put it in her bowl, and said, "Try it, okay?" eat?Concubine Rong smiled at him: The emperor likes Shen Bi.

Yong Qi was sitting at the table next to her, and seeing the two of them, she was both happy and slightly sad, thinking of her mother-in-law.Fu Heng sat at the table next to him, looked at his expression, understood in his heart, did not speak, only looked at the fourth elder brother opposite.I saw the fourth elder brother eating food by himself, looking sideways at the emperor and concubine Rong from time to time, and Ketu standing beside him graciously serving food and persuading him to drink.When Ketu saw Fu Heng looking at him, he immediately restrained himself and stopped trying to persuade him to drink.Fu Heng then said to Hahazhu Sule who was standing behind Yongqi: Come and taste the rabbit hunted by the fifth elder brother.Su Le made a confession, came forward and took a piece of rabbit meat, put it in his mouth, his mouth was full of delicious juice, so he smiled and said to fifth prince and Fu Heng: "Thank you, master and Mr. Fu Heng, it's really delicious!"

Suddenly I heard the emperor say on it: Fu Heng, the fifth elder brother hunted another rabbit. I have already taught others to take care of it. You take it back and cook it.Fu Heng immediately bowed in his seat and said: Thank you, Your Majesty!Concubine Rong looked at Fu Heng and knew that the emperor wanted to give it to Mrs. Nalan. She didn't know that the emperor actually wanted to give it to Fifth Prince's biological mother.The fifth elder brother understood the emperor's thoughts, but it was inconvenient to come out to thank him, so he raised his wine glass and said to the emperor with a smile: "Huang Ama, Yong Qi respects you and Concubine Rong!"May Huang Ama and Concubine Rong be in good health and love deeply!The emperor smiled and said: Good!Glancing at Concubine Rong, she also raised her glass.

When Concubine Rong saw Yongqi talking about her and the emperor in front of so many people, she couldn't help but blushed, but she also raised her glass, looked at him with a slight smile, and then turned to drink.The feeling in Yongxie's heart was unspeakable, then he stood up and said: "I also respect the emperor Ama and Concubine Rong!"The emperor and concubine Rong drank it again.The emperor said softly to him: The deer you killed will be released, and the deer I killed will be roasted and eaten tomorrow.As he spoke, he looked at Concubine Rong again.Yong Xun also took a hasty look at Concubine Rong, thanked her before sitting down.Concubine Rong smiled to the emperor: "It's so fishy, ​​Shen Bi has always disliked it, but this rabbit meat is delicious!"Then Yong Rong Sui Jing again.This evening's family dinner can be said to be enjoyable.

After the emperor went back, he was a little dizzy, and felt the discomfort in his right arm became heavier. He thought it was because of drinking, so he ordered hangover soup, but Concubine Rong and Li Yu both said that Ye Tianshi was called to come and see. I thought it was a big deal, but seeing the sincerity of the two of them, I agreed.When Ye Tianshi came to feel the pulse, he untied the emperor's clothes and looked at his right arm, and said in deep thought: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, you have been poisoned."The three emperors were taken aback.

Ye Tianshi continued: "Don't worry, your majesty, the poison is not very strong, and the amount in your majesty's poison is very slight. I can cure it by prescribing three doses of decoction, but the person who poisoned him is so secretive, and the source of the poison is unknown." Where, the humble minister is very worried, are the emperor's daily necessities as usual these two days?The three of them started to think about it, and suddenly they heard Li Yu say: "That bow, the bow given by the fourth elder brother!"The emperor only used it yesterday afternoon!Emperor Concubine Rong and Ye Tianshi were shocked when they heard this.

Li Yu went to get the bow, Ye Tianshi looked at it carefully and stroked it carefully, but couldn't find anything abnormal.Concubine Rong suddenly took off her handkerchief and said: Maybe it's this?This was just brought back yesterday.Ye Tianshi took it and smelled it, then looked carefully, touched it, and said: "Go back to the emperor and Concubine Rong, this handkerchief is really weird.Concubine Rong, do you often use the incense on this handkerchief?Concubine Rong said: Yes, this handkerchief was dropped by Elder Brother that day, and Si Elder Brother and Gong sent it back yesterday, the fragrance is a bit weaker, but the taste is the same as the original one.

Ye Tianshi said: "The fragrance has faded because another smell, the smell of medicine, has been mixed in. Because of the strong fragrance, the smell of medicine has been covered up again."The other three were all shocked.Concubine Rong immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this is definitely not what my concubine did. How could my concubine harm the emperor, please check clearly!"The emperor said: Of course I know it's not you, Li Yu, help her up!Li Yu quickly helped Concubine Rong up.The emperor asked Ye Tianshi, "What kind of medicine is that?"Ye Tianshi said: "It should be a kind of medicine from Miaojiang. The taste has been covered up very weakly. The servant can't be sure for a while. He should take this veil back, do some tests, and then check the medicine list, and he should be able to find clues."

The emperor said: "Okay, but since this is the case, why do you say that the poison in my body is fine?"Ye Tianshi said: "Your pulse condition doesn't seem to be serious, your arm is not swollen, and there is no abnormal color. I believe it will be fine if you let it out."If you find out what kind of poison it is, you can prescribe the right medicine. However, if you find out in time, your poisoning is still shallow, and the common catharsis prescription can be used for three days in a row, and the poison can be cured.The emperor felt relieved, and then looked at the square handkerchief of Concubine Rong in Ye Tianshi's hand.The other three were taken aback, and sure enough, they heard the emperor say slowly: Yongxuan.

Both Li Yu and Ye Tianshi knelt down, and Li Yu said anxiously: "Long Live Lord, you can't think like that!"Concubine Rong immediately signaled Ye Tianshi and Li Yu to go out.Then he walked behind the emperor, put his hands on the emperor's shoulders, and said in a low voice: Your majesty, what Li Yu said is right, you think too much, how could the fourth elder brother harm you?The emperor snorted and said: After arriving here, I feel strange about Yongxuan's actions. Now I understand, it is him, he treats you...

Concubine Rong didn't speak.The emperor patted her hand and said: I will make the decision for you.Concubine Rong immediately walked in front of him, knelt down and said: Your majesty, I don't know if Si elder brother did it now, you can't just judge him guilty like this, even if it was really him, you can't think that it was because of his concubine , even if he is really because of a concubine, you have to think about what to do.The emperor felt that what Concubine Rong said was very reasonable, and he seemed to be arbitrary just now.Then he pulled Concubine Rong up and said, "Then tell me, what do you think about this?"

Concubine Rong said: I think this is someone who is going to blame Si elder brother. I meet Si elder brother on weekdays, but I don't think he has anything to Chen Qie. You know, Chen Qie is very sensitive, so Chen Qie Concubine's feeling can't be wrong.The person who blamed the fourth elder brother wanted to drive a wedge between you father and son, and even brought Shen Bi in with a handkerchief, in order to stir up discord between Shen Bi and you, Shen Bi and the empress, as well as the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother. .

When the emperor thought about it, he felt that it was more reasonable, and said: "You are right, this matter cannot be made public."Concubine Rong said: The fourth elder brother was raised by the empress, so the person behind the scenes will definitely not be hers.Shen Bi couldn't think of anyone else in the palace.The emperor said: You mean this person is not from the palace?Concubine Rong said: Your majesty, I just think that this person is hiding in a secret place and it is not easy to find out. If you investigate wantonly, you will fall into this person's trap.Concubines are not afraid of being questioned, but if you create something out of nothing and hurt your father and son's relationship, the relationship between husband and wife, that's not good.

The emperor had been listening attentively, and felt that Concubine Rong was so knowledgeable, so he was not touched. He remembered that she had been framed innocently in the matter of the fifth elder brother, and this time it happened again. It was very unfavorable, so he said slowly: Shen Bi, it is my fault that you got involved in these things.Concubine Rong smiled and said: "So the concubine said that you also go to other people's places, so why is she really trying to push you away?"Then he lowered his body and whispered in his ear: Shen Bi can't bear to part with you!The emperor was happy, and patted her head with his backhand.

While talking, Li Yu said back and forth that Ye Tianshi had found the name of the poison, back and forth to the emperor.Ye Tianshi told the three people that what the emperor liked was Miao Jiang's silver Gu, which is a common Gu poison in Miao Jiang, and it's not very powerful.It seems that the poisoner is not taking human life.I would add the antidote to this poison in the decoction, and it would be enough to take one dose, but for the sake of safety, the emperor still drank it for three days in a row, and the poison would definitely be poured out.The emperor asked again: Why is Shen Bi all right?Concubine Rong and Li Yu just remembered this, and looked at Ye Tianshi with questioning eyes.

Ye Tianshi looked at Concubine Rong, knelt down and said: "Going back to the emperor, I also have this question. After going back, I remembered that Concubine Rong has been taking the pills prepared by the minister for half a month. The medicine in the minister's medicine is blindly mixed with this silver gu." Xiangke.Li Yu looked at Concubine Rong in surprise, and the emperor also looked at Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong knelt down calmly and said: Your Majesty, don't blame Dr. Ye, it's the concubine who didn't let him tell you.The emperor asked: What do you drink medicine for?Where does it hurt?

Concubine Rong looked at Ye Tianshi and said: Doctor Ye, please tell the emperor.Ye Tianshi said: Yes.The empress wanted to conceive a dragon heir, and Wei Chen felt that it was very difficult, but the empress insisted on letting Wei Chen try it. The medicine seemed to be an ordinary tonic, but the dosage was different, and the internal affairs office of the Imperial Hospital had a record.It's just that the minister is absolutely not sure, taking too much medicine is not good, the minister sees it, the emperor still persuades the empress, the health is critical, and the medicine is stopped.The emperor was very surprised and moved. Looking at Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong knew that he remembered her sadness at noon, so she smiled at him and breathed a sigh of relief.

In front of the other two, the emperor couldn't say anything, so he said, "So that's the case, I'll think about it again."Will this poison be overpowering?Ye Tianshi said: "That's not true, but it's good for Concubine Rong to avoid taboos these few days, it's for the emperor to recuperate the dragon's body."The emperor nodded, and immediately urged Li Yu to move Concubine Rong to a wing room, and taught Ye Tianshi to check Concubine Rong's pulse again, and Ye Tianshi said it was all right.Concubine Rong smiled goodbye to the emperor: You have a good rest, and I will come to see you when the concubine delivers the medicine.

Concubine Rong sent Ye Tianshi out, far away from the main hall, Concubine Rong said in a low voice: Thank you, Doctor Ye.Ye Tianshi said: "Fortunately, my mother asked Weichen to check the bow yesterday. The golden silkworm Gu smeared on the bow is the most powerful Gu poison. If you see blood sealing your throat, if there is a wound on the emperor's hand, it will kill you."This is for the emperor and the fourth elder brother, it is the duty of the humble minister, why should the empress thank you!

Concubine Rong said: "The things you give to the emperor must be inspected first, and we are now in the palace. Although Mr. Fu Heng is safe and considerate, it is not as strict as the Forbidden City and Beijing. If something happens, Mr. Fu Heng Bear the brunt, even if the escort is not effective, you will also be in big trouble.Ye Tianshi looked solemnly, nodded his head, and thought: This lady is really a good person with careful thoughts, and it is not in vain that Lord Fu Heng and Miss Yingluo treated her like this, and asked: "Is it really the fourth elder brother?"Concubine Rong said: No, otherwise he would not return the veil by himself.Ye Tianshi nodded.

Not long after Ye Tianshi left, the emperor's medicine arrived, and Concubine Rong carried it to the main hall herself.Seeing her coming, Li Yu hurriedly took the medicine and said: "The emperor won't let the empress go in."Seeing that the door of the inner hall was closed, Concubine Rong nodded.Li Yu smiled and said: The emperor is really kind to the empress.Concubine Rong knew that he heard what she said to the emperor outside at noon, so she lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Li, go and serve the emperor to drink medicine first. I will wait for you in the wing. I have something to say to you."

When Li Yu arrived in the wing room when he was young, Concubine Rong hadn't spoken yet, so he solemnly said to her: Your Majesty, the emperor asked the servant to pass on his oral order, telling you to stop the medicine.Concubine Rong immediately knelt down and said, "My concubine obeys the order."After she got up, Li Yu said: "Your Majesty Wei, you really don't have to worry, she is better than Concubine Ling... oh, that's far behind. I have been with the emperor for so many years, so I understand what the emperor thinks."In the heart of the emperor, there are only a few people. The former empress and concubine Ling are now you. Well, the concubine Gao from back then is also counted as one.Concubine Rong said: "Mr. Li, the nobleman Wei is about to give birth to an emperor's heir."Li Yu shook his head, and said in a lower voice: Now that you have an emperor's heir, it's different, and according to the slave, the emperor is for that master.

Concubine Rong looked at Li Yu in amazement, and Li Yu nodded slightly.Concubine Rong said: Why does the emperor treat her like this?Li Yu shook his head and said: This slave really doesn't understand.Concubine Rong said: "What do you think of that nobleman Wei?"Li Yudao: "It looks good, but it's hard to tell when it enters the palace, and she wants to come in by herself, so please be careful."She is far less beautiful than the empress, so don't worry too much about the empress, don't give birth to the emperor because of this.Concubine Rong smiled and said: Director Li, I see, you are the best person to the emperor.

Li Yu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Madam, for praising the slave. The slave should thank you well!"If it weren't for you, the emperor would have... yesterday you told the servant about the bow, the servant was really frightened!The person behind this poisoning is too vicious!If you and Doctor Ye hadn't followed this time, the emperor would... where would the slave stand? !Where is Li Yu, the head of the Hall of Mental Cultivation? !The slave has been with the emperor since I was in Prince Bao. At that time, the late emperor asked me to serve the emperor. No, I was still Prince Bao at that time. Prince Bao liked slaves.If something happens to the emperor, the servant must go with the master. Isn't this the slave's life... As he spoke, he shed tears.

Concubine Rong quickly helped him up, and said: Director Li, don't worry, the emperor will be fine.Thank you for your cooperation tonight, the emperor did not become suspicious, otherwise the fourth elder brother will be in trouble.Li Yudao: "This is really the nine sons of the dragon. How could he have such thoughts on you?"Concubine Rong said: I have no choice but to tell Mr. Li, it is for you to pay attention to all the people who are close to the emperor, and to take a look at the things used by the emperor, because others will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, so you must be extremely careful!And you must help cover this matter up, I can't be by the emperor's side all the time, you have to play by ear, and you must never let the emperor know.The fourth elder brother was just confused for a while, after a while he thought about it, and he was fine, and the emperor immediately chose Fujin for him and the fifth elder brother.If the emperor found out, this matter would separate their father and son forever, and that would be Shen Bi's fault again.

Li Yudao: Madam, don't worry, Li Yu understands.You are really a good person. The slave looked at me, and you are the same as the former empress.The servant remembered that Wei Guiren was as good-natured as the former empress, so I don't know what kind of person he is.

Concubine Rong asked again: Do you mean that Concubine Ling has a bad temper?Li Yu shook his head helplessly, and said: You know the emperor's temperament, that's why you like her temperament.Concubine Rong smiled and said: I understand.Li Yudao: "I see that you will also play tricks on the emperor. In fact, the emperor likes people to play tricks on you."Concubine Rong said: "Will the empress of the past also use her temper?"I heard that she is very gentle, just like Master Fu Heng.Li Yudao: Yes, both siblings are good-natured.Concubine Rong nodded and said: "It is said in the palace that the emperor still misses the late empress, and you also say that the emperor misses her, but the emperor rarely mentions her in front of me.
