Chapter 49 There is a problem with preserve
At this time, Fangyuan was in a mess. Xiao Shufei looked at the emperor's distant figure and sneered, "I thought it would be great to be pregnant, but her mouth was disappointing."
The queen stared at her angrily and said, "When are you still saying such sarcastic words?"
Xiao Shufei smiled and said, "My concubine's recklessness." Xiao Shufei is even more sarcastic about the queen in her heart. Does the queen really care for the nobleman's children? The saying of cheating ghosts, right? Which woman in this harem is not jealous when she looks at other people's bulging bellies. Is it true that her queen is so generous?
"Today's birthday banquet will end like this. Everyone must be in no mood if such a thing happens. What's the problem? The Ministry of Internal Affairs has decided that you can go back first." The queen said to the concubines in front of her.
When the concubines retreated one after another and walked out of the garden, Yao Yujiao walked to Yao Yulu and asked, "Sister, did you do your preserves do it yourself?"
Yao Yulu nodded and said, "Yes, did my sister think there was something wrong with my preserve?" Yao Yulu was a little surprised, but she didn't expect that Yufei would suspect her body.
Yao Yujiao said, "You must not have such a mind. Noble concubines don't conflict with you, but there are many words about being framed in this harem, so I'm afraid..."
Yao Yujiao was a little worried for fear that her sister would make a mistake.
"Sister, don't worry, the preserves are all done by me, and they are definitely not related to me without their own hands."
"That's good. I'll go first." Yao Yujiao said that and left first.
As soon as I left Fangyuan, I saw Liu Feifei pass by her and sneered and said, "Yao Xiunu, I'm afraid it's not your preserves that will cause your concubine to ble, right?"
Yao Yulu looked at her gloating and said dissatisfiedly, "Liu Xiunu, you can eat food randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
"Of course, I hope it's not yours, or our Taoyuan Hall will lose face again."
"Liu Xiunu doesn't have to be pretentious." Yao Yulu and Liu Feifei's disagreement, everyone saw it, Yao Yulu did not shy away and said bluntly.
"Liu Xiunu, it is said that such a thing will cause trouble." Unexpectedly, Song Jinzhi came over and interrupted.
Yao Yulu smiled at Song Jinzhi, and Song Jinzhi also smiled back with a gentle smile.
Liu Feifei looked at the two contemptuously and left alone without saying more.
Song Jinzhi got on the sedan chair with Yao Yulu and prepared to return to the Taoyuan Hall.
"Yao Xiunu, is there really no problem with preserves?" Song Jinzhi asked with good intentions.
"There should be no problem. The preserves are made by me and Shuidong, and they have never been done by others." Yao Yulu thought left and right, and always felt that the mistake would definitely not happen to her, so she was extremely calm.
"That's good. If you find out who did it, I'm afraid that person's life will be in trouble"
"That's true. I'm afraid it's a great crime to harm the emperor's heir." Yao Yulu muttered.
In the other room, the noble concubine was lying weakly on the bed. The imperial doctor told the queen, "Your Majesty, although the fetal gas was moved, I used medicine to stabilize the fetal position, and the child was saved."
Li Qingxiao listened and immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the child all right? That's good. It's really the blessing of our Liang country, but why on earth is there bleeding?
"I have diagnosed that the food and drink contained alcohol. Pregnant women are prone to abortion. They have been told in the imperial dining room that there should be no alcohol in the diet of noble concubines."
At this time, the Empress Dowager and the Empress came in a hurry. The Empress Dowager asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, how about your concubine?"
"The imperial doctor has diagnosed it, and it's okay."
The Empress Dowager exhaled a long breath in her chest and said, "That's good, that's good."
And the queen asked, "Does the imperial doctor know why such a thing happened?"
Li Qingxiao said, "The imperial doctor said it was because of drinking."
"Wine? Noble concubine's diet has always been cooked separately in the imperial dining room, and she has been instructed by the imperial doctor to avoid food. How can there be wine? The Empress Dowager asked.
"Today, the nobles ate some congratulatory gifts and some pastry preserves from the concubines. Is there something wrong with these?"
"Let's go out first and don't disturb the noble concubine's rest."
After saying that, Li Qingxiao went to the front hall and called Liu Gong, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Mr. Liu kowtowed: "I have seen the emperor, and the emperor is blessed."
"You must have heard what happened in Fangyuan today. Now I order you to thoroughly investigate today's incident. If there is no explanation, you can come to see me."
Mr. Liu quickly said, "Yes, I'm going to do it now. Please rest assured."
Li Qingxiao's suppressed anger was finally furious at this time. His voice trembled with anger, but the emperor's majesty did not decrease at all.
Looking at the emperor's angry appearance, the queen advised: "Your Majesty, don't be too anxious. There is not much food today. You can know who did it with a little examination."
The Empress Dowager was even more surprised: "It's terrible that someone dares to frame this magnificent bloodline."
Li Qingxiao frowned slightly and closed his eyes dullly.
Yao Yulu and Song Jinzhi got off the sedan chair and arrived at the Taoyuan Hall. Lv Fangxiao quickly came up and asked, "I heard that there was a big deal in Fangyuan?"
Yao Yulu was a little depressed and was suspected. She was in a bad mood and didn't say anything. Song Jinzhi next to her replied, "Your concubine is bleeding. I don't know what's going on now."
"How can it bleed?" Lv Pangxiao was shocked that such a thing happened in the palace, and I was afraid it would affect many people.
"I don't know what's going on, but it looks like it's serious."
"That's natural. The emperor valued the children in the noble concubine very much. This is definitely going to be a mess."
Lv Panxiao did not doubt Yao Yulu in her heart, but she was afraid that the preserve made by Yao Yulu would go wrong by others, but no one could save it. She stopped talking and didn't ask.
Yao Yulu looked at Lv's Xiao's expression, but understood what she was thinking and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I made the preserves myself, and there must be no problem."
Lv Panxiao smiled awkwardly and said, "That's good."
Taking Yao Yulu back to bed, Ji Shuidong quickly asked, "Sister, sister, I heard that something big happened in Fangyuan. What's wrong?"
Yao Yulu sat down tiredly. She was originally dizzy today. She got up early in the morning to attend the birthday party and made such a mess. Now she has a headache even more. She looked at Ji Shuidong and said, "Your concubine is bleeding. I don't know what's going on now."
"Your concubine? Is it the impous concubine who is pregnant? Ji Shuidong asked.
"That's her."
"Sister, haven't you ever made the preserves you made for me last night?" Yao Yulu also played a small drum in her heart at this moment and asked uneasily.
"Of course not. It's all water winter's own work. My sister won't think there's a problem with preserves, will she?"
"That's not true, but today I sent preserves, which is easy to be suspected. I'm also a little muttered when asked."
At this moment, two internal supervisors outside the door pushed the door and said, "Yao Xiunu, please come with us."
Yao Yulu and Ji Shuidong looked at each other in con's eyes. The two internal supervisors in front of them had never seen each other. They saw Lv Pangxiao standing outside the door with a sad face. Yao Yulu's heart trembled and she felt that something was wrong.
"I don't know what happened to the two public offices?" She suppressed the cowardice in her heart and asked.
Lv Panxiao, who was beside him, took out some silver from his sleeve and stuffed it to the two internal supervisors and said, "Please, my father-in-law, I have a few words to say to Yao Xiunu."
The leading internal supervisor looked at the silver in front of him and said, "Hu faster, Eunuch Liu and the emperor are still waiting."
Lv Fangxiao entered the west wing and closed the door.
At this time, Yao Yulu and Ji Shuidong were confused, but looking at such a situation, they were a little panicked. Yao Yulu quickly asked, "Auntie, what's going on?"
"My little ancestor, you have caused a big disaster. You just checked your preserves in the hospital, and the eight plums have been soaked in wine! Then the noble concubine is most likely to miscarry when she is pregnant and drinking!"
Yao Yulu was even more confused and said, "Auntie, I didn't soak Bazhenmei in wine. How can I soak in wine?"
But the two looked at Ji Shuidong beside her, trembling and turned pale. Her eyes overflowed with tears because of panic. She said in panic, "I... I... Yesterday, I wanted to flavor Bazhenmei with wine, so I soaked it in wine..." After saying that, she was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.
Yao Yulu never thought that such a mistake would happen. She asked in shock, "Don't you know that pregnant women will have a miscarriage after drinking?"
"Sister said... The preserves are offered to the queen, and I didn't pay attention to these taboos..." Ji Shuidong stumbled and said, and cried even more.
Everyone knows that such a crime will be a death penalty. Whether intentional or unintentional, the harm to the emperor will not be let go.
Yao Yulu also sat in the chair and asked, "What should I do now..." The voice sounds weak and hairy.
Lv Fanxiao closed his eyes helplessly and pondered for a moment and said, "It's impossible to solve. I have to take Ji Xiu's daughter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make it clear that if the emperor is gravenated... maybe he can avoid the death penalty."
Ji Shuidong cried bitterly and said, "Sister, Shuidong didn't mean it. Shuidong didn't want to die."
At this moment, Ji Shuidong has been scared to ruin the sky and the earth, and her face has turned pale. She remembered the last time she broke the vase in prison, and there was a shadow in her heart. This time, it was better than last time. She was afraid, really afraid.
She climbed to Yao Yulu's side, raised her tearful face and said, "Sister, help me. I really don't want to die."
Lv Yuxiao looked at the scene in front of him and was very sad. At this time, Yao Yulu said, "Aunt Lv, the plum is soaked in wine and has nothing to do with Shuidong."
As soon as Yao Yulu said this, Ji Shuidong and Lv Panxiao were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Lv Panxiao's expression was full of shock. Looking at Yao Yulu's firm expression in front of her, she asked, "Yao Xiunu, can you figure it out? This is a big crime to kill the head.
