Empress and Empress

At night, Xia Zimo felt much better, so he asked Xiaoyu to help her walk around, and Concubine De also got up.He Di was chatting with the queen in the courtyard, when he saw the two of them, he asked them to sit down together.After a few sentences, he mentioned today's events.

Xia Zimo took the lead and said, "The concubine also thought a lot just now, the food that the concubine eats today is in the Hanxiang Palace, it is absolutely impossible to be poisoned with sister Defei."

A sternness flashed in Concubine De's eyes, and she said coldly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is only one thing that my concubine and Xia Cairen eat together, and that is the concubine's palace. My sister and I drank a few glasses of sake."

"You didn't have lunch when you came, why did you drink in a good morning?" the queen asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't know. Yuan Cairen came to the concubine's palace today and brought a set of jade cups. My sister thought the jade cups were very beautiful, so she poured a few glasses of sake to drink with the concubines." And, at this time, of course, there will be no backup. Although she knew that it would be difficult to convict Yuan Xingye with Yubei alone and He Di's favor, she couldn't care less about it at this time.

"The concubine also thought of this, but---" Xia Zimo hesitated.

"Your Majesty, although my concubine has little personal relationship with Yuan Cairen, she has no intention of harming her. Now---the emperor wants to make decisions for my concubine!" Concubine De started to cry again as she spoke.

Emperor He bowed his head and said nothing, the queen said when she saw this, "Why don't you let the imperial doctor check the jade cup and the wine you drank first, and then make a conclusion if there are any problems." Although the queen's words were meant to delay, it was obviously to help Concubine De.He Di was silent for a moment before saying, "Just do as the Queen says."

That night, the imperial physician on duty was summoned. The imperial physician took the used and unused jade cups and smelled them for a while, then stroked the rim of the cups with his hands.Finally, he said, "Report to the emperor, this jade cup is indeed poisonous."

Now several people have different expressions.He Di said, "Report in detail."

"The poison is painted on the inner wall of the jade cup. It is called 'One Day Immortal'. This poison is very common outside the palace. Treat it and you will die. It takes about two hours from being poisoned to the poison, unlike other strong poisons, you will die after being poisoned, so it is called One Day Immortal."

He Di pondered, and waved his hand to signal the imperial physician to go down. "Order Yuan Cairen to confine himself to the Changchun Palace from tomorrow, and make a decision after the matter is clarified."

The queen nodded, "The emperor's move is very appropriate. I also feel that Yuan Cai is a man of character, so he would definitely not do such a thing. Maybe it was someone who did harm."

Although Concubine De was aggrieved, she didn't dare to get angry, so she just stayed silent.Everyone knows that the foot restraint is just a show, and after a while, this thing will pass.Although Xia Zimo heard that Emperor He would not depose his concubine, he was still relieved to hear what he said.

As his health improved, Xia Zimo returned to Hanxiang Palace under excuses.Because she slept a lot during the day, her spirits improved a lot at night, and she simply couldn't fall asleep, so she sat on the bed and thought over and over again about her next move.Xiaoyu was sent to sleep by her, at this time she only left a lamp by the bed, although it was dim, it was quiet.

The door opened, she thought it was Xiaoyu or walnut, she didn't care, she just said lightly, "Didn't I tell you to go to sleep? Why are you running here again?"

"Seeing that Xia Cairen is well, I can fall asleep."

Xia Zimo looked up in surprise, Yuan Xingye sat by the bed and helped her tuck the quilt. "Why don't you cover it up when it's cold?"

"It's okay." Xia Zimo shook his head, "Why are you here?"

"I knew you were back, so I came to see you." Yuan Xingye said with a smile.

It must have come secretly.Xia Zimo was helpless, "There are countless people with high martial arts skills in the imperial palace. What if they are discovered---what if the emperor goes up?"

"Don't worry, I was very careful all the way. The emperor is in the queen's palace, and the concubine De, should not go to my place." Yuan Xingye said, "It's you, why did you rush to drink that glass of wine?" Her tone There was accusation and pity in it, "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong, if something happens, what do you ask me to do?"

Xia Zimo also knew that she was a little careless about today's affairs, "It's not that I'm afraid that Concubine De won't use that cup, your painstaking efforts are not in vain, and if you use it, it's only in her palace, it doesn't involve the queen, and there is no today's cup." effect."

Yuan Xingye naturally knew her intentions, but she knew that even though everything Xia Zimo used was for her, she still remembered the feeling of hearing Xia Zimo was poisoned today.

It was a chill that came from the bottom of her heart. She was so cold that she almost thought that she was in a cold weather, and even the breath she exhaled was cold.She pulled Xia Zimo, and suddenly didn't know how to start.Xia Zimo remained silent, and the two just looked at each other.In the end, Xia Zimo compromised first. She pulled Yuan Xingye's sleeve and said pitifully, "I will never do this next time, so don't be angry."

Yuan Xingye sighed, what right did she have to be angry? She was selfish and let Xia Zimo play such a scene with her. Now that Xia Zimo had almost died in order to help her, wouldn't it be hypocritical to be angry at this time?

For a while, Yuan Xingye couldn't find anything to say.She took Xia Zimo's hand, thinking that this person was fine, that's really great.

A moment later, Yuan Xingye took off his shoes and socks, lay down beside Xia Zimo with all his clothes, and hugged Xia Zimo gently.Although she didn't know why she did this, but at this moment she just wanted to do it so that she could feel at ease and understand that this person was really fine.

Xia Zimo didn't resist either, and obediently let Yuan Xingye hug him.

"Go to sleep and have a good rest."

"how about you?"

"I'll wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

Although they are in the same palace, although they are only a few hundred steps away from each other, they both know that meeting each other is really a very difficult thing, not to mention that even such days are getting worse every day.

Xia Zimo pulled Yuan Xingye and said some more words, and fell asleep when the mood was getting brighter. Yuan Xingye thought that the person who delivered the decree should go to Changchun Palace later, so he left quietly.

After returning to the palace, Yuan Xingye did not disturb anyone and simply washed up. Yuan Xingye continued to eat and practice swords as before, and within a short while, the messenger arrived at Changchun Palace.The one who delivered the decree was a young eunuch under Zhang Ping, who looked very clever. After saying He Di's oral instructions, he smiled and said, "Master told Cairen not to worry, the emperor will definitely not wrong him."

Yuan Xingye nodded and didn't say much.Luo Yan stuffed a piece of silver into the young eunuch's hand, he accepted it nonchalantly, and then left.

In the next few days, Yuan Xingye still practiced his sword and read books every day, which was no different from the past.Her expenses in the palace were not harsh because of the confinement, presumably He Di took care of it first.

The days should have passed like this, and within a few days He Di would naturally lift the foot restraint order.
