Chapter 32 Smart Trick

In fact, Shuang'er doesn't have any secret recipe to conceive a dragon heir. She just wants to borrow Zhen Mei as her own shield. Because she knew that Zhen Mei was the distant niece of Empress Dowager Li, she intended to get close to her, so that when the Empress Dowager Li was unfavorable to her, Zhen Mei could help her plead and say good words, and at the same time, she could take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between Zhen Mei and Empress Dowager Li. For this purpose, Shuang'er deliberately invited Zhen Mei to Anzhi Palace to drink tea in detail.

In her words, Shuang'er pretended to be careless and revealed that the Empress Dowager Li took back the emperor's tiger charm. After saying that, she pretended to cover her mouth, and then told Zhen Mei to keep it a secret. Zhen Mei was surprised and asked about the details. Shuang'er said, "I saw with my own eyes that the empress dowager blamed the emperor for not doing his business and unintentionally, and asked the emperor to hand over the tiger charm." I'm worried that the Empress Dowager may depose the throne of the emperor. In that case, we will both lose our glory and wealth. It doesn't matter if Shuang'er is born low, but I'm worried that my sister's queen's throne can't be preserved!" Shuang'er continued. When Zhen Mei listened to it, she suddenly lost her face and had no idea.

When Shuang'er saw that Zhen Meixin was true, she continued to say to Zhen Mei, "Shuang'er would like to join hands with her sister to find a way to help the emperor get back the tiger charm and let the emperor regain the military and political power."

Zhen Mei hesitated for a moment, and Shu unfolded her originally frown and said, "Well, we must not let the empress dowager abolish the emperor. We must try to force the empress dowager to return to the emperor. It's better that she can't interfere in the government from now on." Although Zhen Mei is the niece of Empress Dowager Li, she has also become ferocious when it comes to her status. Shuang'er understood her weakness and took advantage of her with a little provocation.

The next day, Zhen Mei came to visit the empress dowager again. Seeing that Jiaolan was about to send medicine to the empress dowager, he took the opportunity to say, "Jiaolan, go down first. I have something to discuss with the empress dowager, so let me serve the empress dowager with medicine." Jiaolan knew the relationship between Zhen Mei and Empress Dowager Li. With a little hesitation, she gave the medicine bowl to Zhen Mei and retreated by herself. After opening the pepper orchid, Zhen Mei quickly took out a bag of sweat medicine hidden in his sleeves and poured it into the bowl.

After the Empress Dowager Li took the medicine, she suddenly felt hot all over. After struggling for a while, she fainted. Zhen Mei immediately began to look around the house, but she searched all possible places and did not find the tiger charm. Just then, Jiaolan came in and bumped into Zhen Mei's hurried look and asked, "What is the Queen looking for?" Why is it mysterious? You should know that the Empress Dowager is the most taboo for others to touch her things!" Zhen Mei pretended to be calm and said, "Jiao Lan, what are you talking about? I just accidentally fell to the ground. I'm just looking for a ring. How can I mess with the Empress Dowager's things? Well, the Empress Dowager has taken the medicine and has gone to bed. If I have something else to do, I will go back to the palace first. After saying that, Zhen Mei left in a hurry. When Jiao Lan saw that the ring on Zhen Mei's finger was clearly there, she didn't stop doubting.

Back to the bedroom, Zhen Mei thought bitterly about where the Empress Dowager hid the tiger charm. He couldn't help but wonder: Is the tiger charm no longer in the hands of the Empress Dowager? Therefore, she sent her servants to find out who had been to the Empress Dowager's bedroom in recent days. The servants inquired and reported that in addition to her and Shuang Guiren, Li Jin and Li Ren had entered the palace a few days ago. Zhen Mei then suspected that the Empress Dowager Li had handed over the tiger charm to Li Jin.

In the middle of the night, Zhen Mei slipped to the pavilion by the lotus pool in the palace, where Li Ren had been waiting for a long time. It turned out that after Zhen Mei guessed that Hu Fu was in Li Jin's hand, she asked Li Ren to meet here. They were not only cousins. If the Empress Dowager Li hadn't wanted her to enter the palace to be the queen, maybe she was already Li Ren's wife at this time. After Zhen Mei became the queen, due to her status as the queen, although the two were ambiguous with each other, they never dared to take a step.

Zhen Mei asked Li Ren bluntly and said, "Cousin, tell me the truth, the tiger charm is in your father's hands?" Li Ren admitted frankly: "The empress dowager has indeed given the tiger charm to her father and asked us to transfer the army to protect the palace at the critical moment." After hearing this, Zhen Mei immediately cried with the rain and held Li Ren and said, "The empress dowager takes back the emperor's military power. I definitely can't keep my position. Cousin, you must help me keep the queen's position. Just be Mei'er, please!" Seeing Zhen Mei's pitiful look, Li Ren suddenly felt pity and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Mei'er, I promise you that I will help you keep the queen's seat. If the Empress Dowager insists on deposed the emperor, I will bring the tiger charm and mobilizing soldiers and horses to the palace to escort!" After listening to Li Ren's words, Zhen Mei smiled with satisfaction.

As his birthday is approaching, Nie Kong, on the one hand, has to arrange the royal family's birthday banquet and do all kinds of comfort work so that the rich businessmen can voluntarily pay the birthday gift. Although he only uses the birthday banquet as a cover to raise military wages, the play also needs to prevent suspicion, so he still has to hold the birthday banquet. On the other hand, he also has to monitor Ning Tanger and Wen. The actions of Jian, Xian Gui and others calmed down the unfavorable rumors about Huanxuan in the city. Therefore, Nie Kong is very busy.

After a while, Huanxuan and Ning Tanger were also familiar with each other. Knowing that Nie Kong was flawless, she took the initiative to attack and approached Ning Tanger. After coming to the leisure pavilion and talking for a long time, Huanying talked to Ning Tanger and the Empress Dowager Wei devoutly to the Buddha. It was better for the two of them to go to the Empress Dowager's Buddhist Hall to copy the scriptures before their birthday, thinking that the Empress Dowager would pray for blessings, and the Empress Dowager Wei would certainly be very happy. Ning Tanger knew that this was a good opportunity to please the empress dowager. She thought that she didn't know how long she would stay in Weijun, so it was better to please the old lady first, so she readily agreed. With a little hesitation, Ning Tanger moved into the Buddhist hall with Huan Xuan. The two were separated by only a screen. They ate and lived in every day, and were sent in by Xiaoci and Wei'er respectively. The Empress Dowager Wei was really very happy about this. She praised Huanxuan and Ning Tanger's intelligence.

It turns out that this is the way that Huanling comes to mind. She wanted to trap Ning Tanger with this. She knew that because of the Empress Dowager Wei, Ning Tanger would not dare to give up halfway and would stay in the Buddhist hall all the time, so as to avoid Ning Tanger's rebirth trouble before her birthday, and at the same time to make room for Nie Kong and others to raise money. Indeed, although Ning Tanger was anxious in the Buddhist hall, she had to sit down all day long and copy the Buddhist scriptures.

Two days later, at lunch time, Xiaoci and Wei'er went to the Buddhist hall to deliver food for Huanying and Ning Tanger. When they walked to the Buddha, Xiaoci suddenly said to Wei'er, "Wei'er, my stomach hurts so much. Please help me deliver the food to Mrs. Ying. I'll go to the toilet and I'll be back soon." When Wei'er saw Xiaoci's painful face, she said, "Okay, I'll send it for you. Go quickly!" Wei Er had to put Ning Ji's meal aside and send it to Huanxuan first. Huanxuan saw that he was afraid, so he asked, "Why did you bring the food, Xiaoci?" After explaining the reason, Wei Er withdrew from the screen and turned to deliver Ning Ji's meal.

Halfway through Ning Ji's meal here, she heard the sound of falling to the ground like a chair and stool after the screen. She got up and rushed over to have a look. Huan lingered on the ground, her eyebrows were locked, bean-sized beads of sweat on her forehead, and the food and the copied Buddhist scriptures were scattered all over the ground. Suspected of poisoning, he immediately exclaimed, "Come on, Mrs. Ying is poisoned!"

Zhuo Ruitong came in a hurry. Seeing that Huanxuan fell to the ground and fell asleep, he was heartbroken. Ask Xiaoci, who was crying into tears: "Xiaoci, tell me quickly, what's going on? Why is Mrs. Shadow poisoned? Xiaoci cried about the process of asking Wei'er to help deliver food, and said that Huanying had become like this when she came back. Wei'er was full of grievances and cried that she had not poisoned. Zhuo Ruitong angrily asked Ning Tanger: "Say, are you instructing Wei'er to poison?" Ning Tanger can't argue, but blindly defends that she did not instruct her to poison her. While sending Mei Zheng to ask Ji Yu Guang to come for treatment, Zhuo Ruitong ordered that Ning Tanger and Wei Er should be banned in the Buddhist hall and not to step out of the Buddhist hall until the matter was clarified.

When Nie Kong heard the news, he was about to go to the Buddhist hall, but on the way, he bumped into Mei Zheng coming out of the Buddhist hall. He learned that Zhuo Ruitong had arrived. Thinking that he was just about to go out of the palace to do business, he asked Mei Zheng to go back first and went outside the palace to invite Ji Yu Guang.

Along the way, Nie Kong thought about Huanying's poisoning and felt very strange. Unconsciously, he had arrived at Jifu. After entering the door, the servant of the Ji family said that Ji Yuguang was taking a lunch break and immediately went to pass it. Please wait for a moment. Nie Kong thought he had nothing to do, so he walked around the courtyard and continued to think about the doubts just now. At this time, a child who wasflying a kite accidentally fell down. Nie Kong hurried forward to help the child up and learned that the child was the youngest son of Ji Yuguang. While helping the children pat the dust, Nie Kong found that the corners of the children's clothes were stained with brown powder different from the gray soil on the ground. He picked it with his fingers and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it. There was a fishy smell, which was suspected to be the smell of nine-leaf colorful purple grass. He couldn't help but be shocked and showed a surprised expression. Then, he took back his surprise and deliberately smiled and asked the child if he had been to his father's pharmacy. The child blinked and admitted that he had just slipped to his father's pharmacy to play. Nie Kong smiled and let the child go, and continued to wait for Yu Guang as if nothing had happened.

In the goblet palace, when others retreated, Xiaoci quietly pulled Zhuo Ruitong and told him the truth about Huanxuan's poisoning, saying that in fact, Huanxuan was deliberately poisoned to blame Ning Tanger to trap her. Moreover, there is the news that she was poisoned when she helped the empress dowager copy the Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist hall. On the one hand, it can help her wash away the suspicion of meticulous work. On the other hand, the Lord can claim that someone wants to be unfavorable to the Empress Dowager, and then strengthen the investigation of people who enter and leave the royal palace. In this way, it can also monitor every move of Wen Jian, etc., so that they have no chance to take advantage of it, so as to avoid What a disaster.

"Xiaoci, how can you promise your wife to let her do such a dangerous thing without telling me? She is in danger like this. If something really happens, how do you want me to explain to the eldest grandson and his wife under Jiuquan?" After listening to what Xiaoci said, Zhuo Ruitong scolded.

"Go back to the Lord, Xiaoci tried her best to dissuade her, but she didn't listen! The lady said that she had been fearless for life and death, and that the poison would only make people sleep and not die, so Xiaoci agreed to cooperate with her. Xiaoci explained in a hurry. Looking at Zhuo Ruitong's heartbroken eyes, Xiaoci once again understood her Wei Wang's feelings for her eldest grandson Huanxuan. She decided to take good care of Huanxuan in the future, not only for the love between Huanxuan and her sisters, but also for her Wei Wang.

Nie Kong waited until Ji Yuguang and returned to the royal palace with him. After Ji Yuguang helped Huanying cut her pulse and see the condition, he said to Zhuo Ruitong, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Ying is not deeply poisoned. She is just temporarily in a coma. I will prescribe two doses of medicine to my wife first. If it is stable and fine after taking it, it will be fine." When Ji Yuguang was diagnosed with Huanying, Nie Kong had been staying close to him, staring at Ji Yuguang's every move, and never took half a step away. Seeing this, Zhuo Ruitong couldn't help but be stunned: Is this Nie Kong interested in Huanxuan? Thinking of this, he suddenly felt unhappy.

After Ji Yuguang retreated, Xiaoci boiled the medicine and was about to feed Huanying to take it. Nie Kong hurried forward to stop him. He took a silver needle and put it into the medicine bowl. He didn't see the color of the silver needle change. After confirming that it was non-toxic, he asked Xiaoci to feed it. He told Xiaoci, "The next medicine should also be tested with a silver needle to ensure that it is non-toxic to be taken by his wife. Use it." Seeing that Nie Kong was so cautious, Zhuo Ruitong was more sure of his guess. He thought that Nie Kong was really in love with Huanxuan, and he was furious.

Nie Kong turned around and was about to tell Zhuo Ruitong about his discovery in Ji's mansion. Unexpectedly, Zhuo Ruitong asked in a cold voice, "Will you have done everything on your birthday?" Nie Kong replied, "Go back to the Lord, not yet!" Nie Kong thought that Zhuo Ruitong was blaming him for delaying time. Thinking that there was no conclusive evidence about Ji Yuguang, he needed further investigation, so he had to retreat first.
