Chapter 90 But Deadly

After a series of events outside the palace, Mrs. Gao was no more in the mood to celebrate her birthday, so she excused to pray for Ji Yan. She only accepted the congratulatory tables of the ministers and did not even hold a banquet.

It's just that her annoying things can't end with Ji Yan's turn of danger - just the morning after the Empress Dowager's birthday, Dai Jiao, the head of Kunde Palace, walked to the Heyi Hall with Jiao Weiniang, the head of Deyang Palace, to plead guilty.

The reason for asking for guilt is that two days ago, Dai Jiao went to Hanguang Hall and chatted with Jiao Weiniang, and accidentally smashed a one-person-high pastel painted spring smoke tree in the hall. Originally, Dai Jiao was making amends for the gifts. Unexpectedly, when Jiao Weiniang asked someone to clean the broken porcelain, the sharp-eyed maid saw an old color from the broken porcelain. The brocade box.

Out of curiosity, the two opened it, but saw that there were several pieces of spices in it, because Shen was killed by the dead incense, and the most suspected Xue insisted on refusing to plead guilty. Ji Shen and the empress dowager handed this matter to You Eying. It was difficult for You Eying to judge. Seeing these spices, she saw Jin The box was old, and both of them were in a bad way, so they got the Empress Dowager and explained by the way.

Empress Dowager Gao frowned and looked at the spices in the brocade box opened by His Highness: "Since it was discovered a few days ago, why did you come here today?"

Jiao Weiniang said carefully, "If you go back to the Empress Dowager's words, it was the Empress Dowager's birthday. Now there are things inside and outside the palace. I am very ashamed to think that my concubine can't share the Empress Dowager's worries. How dare I rush to report her troubles to the Empress Dowager before the Empress Dowager's birthday? Thinking of Mrs. Shen... It has happened, so I thought about the Empress Dowager's birthday to report it again.

Next to him, Dai Ji also said carefully: "Because I heard from the imperial doctor before that Shen Shi's wife had a small birth because of dead fragrance. Although my concubine and others did not dare to determine what this is and did not ignite, You Eying was pregnant, and my concubine did not dare to go to the Jinse Hall, so she could only report to the empress dowager."

She thought about it and said, "My concubine didn't listen to the doctor's words, but it can also harm people if she doesn't ignite the fragrance. And after opening it that day, the concubine and Jiao Guangxun have also played for a while. So far, there is nothing wrong with it. Thinking that even those things in it, she expected that the empress dowager's phoenix would not be lost, so she dared to bring it here, and Dare not rush to put the Empress Dowager into danger!"

The two explained that it was reasonable, and they were all selected into the palace by the Empress Dowager, especially Jiao Weiniang. The Empress Dowager's face softened slightly: "Since you have played it, it's okay. I don't expect it to be harmful."

But in order to be cautious, she still called Dr. Ren. After entering the hall, Dr. Ren only glanced at her face changed: "Empress do you, where did you get so much?"

"Ah?!" Empress Dowager Gao was shocked, and Jiao Weiniang and Dai Jiao were so scared that they almost threw away the brocade box!

Since things are indeed dead incense, this is a big deal. Even You Eying rushed over when she got the news. Empress Dowager Gao saw her change her and said, "What are you doing here!"

"Auntie, are you all right?" You Eying asked the empress dowager worriedly, and then scolded Dai and Jiao, "You dare to take everything in front of the empress dowager. You are really dizzy! If it hurts the Empress Dowager, is the lives of your family enough together?"

Empress Dowager Gao persuaded, "Ang Hou said that it doesn't matter. Anyway, the mourning family is also this age. What else is there to be afraid of? But you should be careful everywhere now!"

"My aunt is not afraid, and of course I am not afraid." You Eying took the opportunity to get tired of it and said coquettishly, "In the past two days, Shen's miscarriage has been a confused account. I looked at Shen's family, but Xue's family was really pitiful and did not recognize it. I thought that they were all people who served their cousins, and they could be wronged anyone at will. These days, I have had a headache... Aunt, what's going on with this? ?"

Empress Dowager Gao frowned and said, "It's not the time for you to worry about it. Since Shen is no longer pregnant, it's enough for her to recuperate and give her some tonics. Isn't it bad for her to have a body this time? Changxin Palace is so big that it's not good for her to go for a walk, but she has to squeeze on the palace road! As for Xue, it's really suspicious. Let's drop it.

You Eying squeezed her lips and smiled, "After all, my aunt loves me, but this fragrance sounds terrible..."

"Although my concubine has lived in the Hanguang Hall for two years, the pastel-painted golden spring smoke tree has never been moved before!" Jiao Weiniang is anxious to shout injustice at this time.

Empress Dowager Gao only carefully questioned the imperial doctor about the dead incense. Before she could take care of them, she said coldly, "Where did this thing come from?"

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, the bottle is a little higher than my concubine, which is really heavy. The concubine has never moved since she entered the Hanguang Hall. Usually, she just makes the palace people wipe the outer wall with dust." Jiao Wei's timid way.

The Empress Dowager Gao gave her a deep look: "Really? Then why did Dai break it in such a timely manner? Besides, is the bottle taller than you so easily broken?

-Jiao Weiniang is now the main position of Deyang Palace. Since the bottle was so heavy, she said that she had never moved after living in. It was still broken this time that she found the spices hidden in it, so the thing was put there before she lived in. Before her, the owner of the Hanguang Hall It's the late Ouyang Rou. Why can't the Empress Dowager Gao hear the meaning of her words?

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, in fact... that's actually..." Knowing that the matter was big, Dai Jiao and Jiao Wei Niang looked at each other and said with one voice, "The concubine and others were practicing dancing in the inner room. When the whirlling sound stopped suddenly, they didn't carefully knock down the bottle, so..."

The Empress Dowager Gao raised her eyebrows: "Practice dancing?"

"Your Majesty praised the golden imperial daughter in the palace for her graceful and graceful dance like a fairy." Dai Jiong said with a red face, "My concubine... I haven't seen Your Majesty go to the Yue Hall for some days, so... just..."

If you practice dancing quietly for the sake of favor, it is also credible. After all, today's You'eying is pregnant. After the death of Sun and Bu, no one else can spoil her alone. Mu Bi is slightly busy taking care of the two daughters and one son under her knees. Now He's favor is not as good as before. Dai Jiao and Jiao Wei Niang have always been flat, and they have not been favored by Ji. Deeply forget that these months are a good opportunity.

But the Empress Dowager Gao is not so easy to believe: "What is the place that is not easy to practice, but you have to practice on the edge of the bottle? Don't you think it will be overturned?"

"Just because the golden princess danced around the tree under the green tree in the court last time, Your Majesty... Your Majesty likes it very much!" Jiao Weiniang said awkwardly, "My concubine is older than the golden royal daughter, and her figure is not as soft as her. I'm afraid that it will not jump well at the beginning and cause jokes, so I practiced in the hall and... took the bottle as a tree."

The Empress Dowager Gao narrowed her eyes and said, "So does this thing really have anything to do with Rou Niang? But Rou Niang died a long time ago, and now it can't be said that she did it, right?

"It is said that Xue has never had anything to do with cousin Ouyang!" You Eying also said, "Besides, other people around Shen have old friends with Cousin Ouyang."

"My concubine thought of something..." Dai Jiong pondered for a moment and suddenly said.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager and You Eying looked over together, she squeezed her mouth and said carefully, "The imperial doctor said that it was poisonous after the incense was lit, and it could make the poisoned quickly age. My concubine remembers that Ouyang beauty has always been beautiful, but last time, for the Xiji Xing Palace, the Empress Dowager called her concubine to come and meet Ouyang Beauty. , my concubine remembers Ouyang Beauty... I hope she is even aging..."

The Empress Dowager's face changed, and You Eying also exclaimed and covered her mouth with her sleeves: "Was't Ouyang cousin like that before?"

"So, was even Rou Niang killed by the dead incense?" The Empress Dowager muttered and couldn't help looking at the direction of the cold palace.
