==Chapter 15 The Queen==

The incense candle burned out and the wind blew the bead curtain.

The door of Jinlan Garden rang, frightened birds fled in all directions, and the yellow leaves on the trees fell to the ground.

Whether Zheng Ningsheng of Taiyuan Hospital is following the Queen Mother's will to bring peace to the ladies of the palace?

Jinlan Garden, main hall.

Ning Yuan was taking off the white handkerchief from Qin Huan's wrist, frowning and saying: "Although the beauty's jade body is fine, the minister has been diagnosed with a lingering poison similar to Zi Mu Xiang's. This Zi Mu Xiang's poison , beauties may not understand very well, a small amount is fine, but too much can be fatal."

Zi Muxiang.

Qin Juan’s eyes froze.

She didn't know much about it, but she knew it very well. This was simply the poisonous wine that Miss Qin drank when she died in love.

But she absolutely cannot admit this.

Qin Chan’s beautiful eyes widened, pretending to be surprised and said: “How could this be so?”

Ningyuan Zhengdao: "Beauty, don't panic. Everything in this world is in harmony with each other. Maybe the remaining poison is not Zimuxiang's poison, but a problem with the diet. Can the beauty show the meal list to the minister for a look?"

Qin Juan nodded and said quickly: "Zhulan, go to the Shangshi Bureau to find Yu Sishan and bring over the two meal catalogs from Shuyuyuan and Jinlanyuan."

Zhu Lan quickly said: "Yes, I will go now."

After a long while, Ning Yuan was flipping through the meal list, shaking his head and saying: "No, this meal is all normal, there is nothing contradictory..."

Qin Juan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "This... what should I do?"

Ningyuan Zheng's expression gradually became serious, and he comforted him: "This poison has not yet entered the body, and there is medicine to cure it. Please be patient, beauty."

Qin Juan stood up and said, "Thank you so much, Ning Yuanzheng."

Ningyuan Zhengdao: "This is a matter that belongs to the humble ministers, so beauties are being polite."

After Ningyuan left, Zhulan and Zhuxin looked at Qin Juan with distressed expressions.

Poisoning in the harem has happened in all dynasties. It is not a strange thing for a long time. They all know it.

Qin Juan will naturally not miss this opportunity.

She took a deep breath and said: "Since you two are serving me in Jinlanyuan, you are considered to be the people around me. If you have something to say, I will say it directly."

Zhulan immediately said: "Master, that's all you say."

Qin Chan asked: "Am I... somewhat similar to the late Queen?"

Zhulan nodded, "Yes."

Qin Chan said: "Then can you tell me how the late queen got there?"

Zhu Lan and Zhu Xin looked at each other.

Finally Zhu Xin spoke, "Let me speak. If there are two people in the palace who cannot be mentioned, then the eldest prince is one, and the first queen is the second."

Qin Chan said: "Why can't you mention it?"

Zhu Xin said: "Everyone thinks that the late queen died due to dystocia, but people in the palace know that the successive dystocias are closely related to Xu Shangyi of Shangyi Bureau. Xu Shangyi has a younger brother, because the Su family collaborated with the enemy and treason. Died on the battlefield, the slave girl heard that three years ago, she had to avenge her personal vengeance to cause difficulty in childbirth, but what exactly she did, the slave girl did not know."

Qin Chan said: "What then?"

Zhu Xin continued: "At the beginning of September, when His Majesty returned to the court after winning the victory, he was furious when he learned about the incident. First, Chang Yuan of the Taiyuan Hospital was dismissed from office, and then Xu Shangyi was sentenced to Lingchi by the Supervisor of Ceremonies. After that, His Majesty three times I have not set foot in the harem for many years, even with the Queen Mother..."

Speaking of this, Zhulan touched Zhuxin with her arm.

Zhu Xin immediately coughed twice and said, "This slave has made a mistake."

Hearing this, Qin Juan couldn't help but frown.

Xiao Yu hasn’t entered the harem in three years?

That's it for Concubine Xue and Concubine Liu. After all, he has never liked girls from aristocratic families, but he has always treated Li Yuan very well, so he is willing to be left out in the cold?

Zhulan added: "Master, don't worry, the Queen Mother presides over the Sixth Palace and has always been fair and impartial. I will definitely give you an explanation for this poisoning."

Qin Juan nodded and said: "I hope so."

As soon as Qin Chang had lunch, someone knocked on the door of Jinlanyuan.

Qin Juan recognized her at a glance.

This is Concubine Xue, the personal female historian, Qingyue.

Qingyue said politely to Qin Chanfu: "Concubine Xue has prepared snacks in Xianfu Palace and invites Beauty Qin to come and have a seat. Please also invite Beauty to come with your servants."

This is not polite at all.

But the saying "the first level of officialdom kills people" applies in the imperial court as well as in the harem.

Xue Lanyi is a second-grade concubine. She is only a sixth-grade beauty, so she has to go even if she doesn’t want to.

It’s true that things are changing.

Qin Juan said softly: "Then Aunt Lao Qingyue will lead the way."

Qingyue smiled and said, "You're welcome, beauty."

******

The flowers in Xianfu Palace are blooming just right, the wind blows through the embroidered curtains, and the garden is filled with autumn fragrance.

Qin Juan gritted her teeth and gave Xue Lanyi a gift and said: "I would like to send my regards to Concubine Xue."

Concubine Xue was leaning on the red sandalwood and jade flower throne. When she saw her coming, she immediately put down the grapes in her hands and said with a smile: "Sister, come and sit quickly."

Qingyue placed a round stool next to Concubine Xue.

Qin Juan walked to Concubine Xue's side and sat down, her movements slightly cautious.

Concubine Xue looked at her face and couldn't help but murmured: "You are so much like her. Is there really such a coincidence in this world?"

Qin Juan frowned and said, "What does Concubine Xue mean? I don't understand."

Concubine Xue smiled and said: "I never believed in the theory of strange powers and gods, but until I saw you, I started to believe it. Your name is Qin Juan?"

Qin Juan nodded and said: "Yes."

Concubine Xue raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and said: "Recently, I have often suffered from insomnia, and the imperial hospital couldn't produce any results, so I asked the host to give me a sermon, but the host gave me the wrong answer. It's not as pious as copying the scriptures, but yesterday I injured my wrist and couldn't move."

Qin Juan said softly: "I am willing to contribute to Concubine Xue."

"You are quite smart." Concubine Xue raised her lips and said, "If you are willing to share my worries, then I will not treat you badly."

Qin Juan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are very polite. It is your duty as a concubine to share your worries."

Concubine Xue turned around, picked up two Buddhist scriptures, and said seriously: "The host said, copy each of these two books twice."

Qin Juan took it and said with sincerity, "Even if I am sleepless, I will finish copying the Buddhist scriptures as soon as possible."

Concubine Xue looked into her eyes and said with a smile: "Never sleep? Isn't this too bullying?"

"Qingyue, go get pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Concubine Xue took Qin Juan's hand and said: "How about my sister coming to Xianfu Palace to copy every day as a companion to me? ”

Daily?

Qin Juan said calmly: "I will listen to Concubine Xue."

Half a moment later, two young eunuchs brought over a black lacquered rectangular table inlaid with mother-of-pearl and floral patterns.

The incense burner is placed on the left side, and the four treasures of the study are placed on the right side.

Concubine Xue gave Qingyue a look.

Qingyue immediately walked over and said, "I will polish the ink for the beauty."

After the ink was evenly distributed, Qin Juan picked up the wolf hair, dipped it lightly, bent her thin white wrist, and began to write.

Concubine Xue looked at her handwriting, her pupils relaxed, and she took a long breath.

Concubine Xue breathed a sigh of relief, but Qin Juan couldn't help but feel scared.

She practiced this handwriting just in case, but she never expected that she would use it on the second day she met Xue Lanyi.

Once the Buddhist scriptures were written, they could not stop. Concubine Xue refused to let her go, so Qin Juan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue writing.

An hour later, a female historian in blue pushed in the door, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to invite Beauty Qin to come over at Shou'an Palace."

Qin Juan raised her head.

She was just thinking about what reason she should use to escape, when someone came to her door with a reason. It can be said that as soon as I dozed off, someone handed me a pillow.

Concubine Xue frowned slightly and said: "Shou'an Palace? Concubine Sun is looking for you?"

The female historian nodded and said, "Yes, Nanny Yuan from Shou'an Palace came here in person and said she had something urgent to see Beauty Qin."

Concubine Xue glanced at Qin Huan, calmed down, and said: "Then Beauty Qin should go to Shou'an Palace as soon as possible. Don't keep the concubine waiting. I am not in a hurry."

Qin Juan said: "I will come to your concubine early tomorrow morning."

Concubine Xue was very satisfied with her knowledge and said: "Then trouble my sister."

Qin Juan walked around the table, and her light yellow cuffs brushed against the inkstone and were stained with a few drops of ink.

After Qin Juan left, Qingyue brought the brewed chrysanthemum tea to Concubine Xue, and then said: "I see that Miss Qin is a person who knows her duties and rules. Your Majesty, don't worry too much."

Concubine Xue took the tea, took a sip and said, "Do you know the rules? Even if you don't meet the favor, you know the rules."

Qingyue frowned and said: "Master, do you think that Your Majesty will praise Beauty Qin? But she is so similar to the late Queen, they have the same face..."

Concubine Xue faintly interrupted: "It's not a bad idea."

************

Xianfu Palace and Shou'an Palace are quite close, and Qin Juan arrived at Shou'an Palace in just half a cup of tea.

She followed Nanny Yuan up the stone steps.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the concubine sitting on a brown bamboo and jade Sanyang Kaitai armchair and sighed.

Qin Juan said politely: "I have met the concubine."

"Come here quickly, no need to be polite." The concubine sighed again and said: "I asked you to come here today because of important things. When you go in later, no matter what you see, you are not allowed to talk to others. If you mention it, if you violate it, you will be severely punished."

Qin Chan said: "I will keep this in mind."

Toffee said: "Okay, come with me."

Nanny Yuan lifted the curtain and Qin Juan walked in.

Looking closely, it was Xiao Yun who was gazing down at a portrait painting.

The person in the painting is none other than Queen Chunyi.

The concubine walked over and said softly: "Yun'er, do you see who is here?"

Xiao Yun raised his eyes and looked at Qin Juan.

The dark eyes, like washed grapes, immediately gained a glimmer of light.

Maybe Qin Juan and Su Ling were too similar. Thinking of the past, the concubine felt sad and couldn't help but have red eyes.

Qin Chan said: "The concubine wants me to come..."

Taifei Sun whispered: "You must have heard about Empress Chunyi. The painting on the case was given to her by His Majesty. Yun'er will look at it twice when she has nothing to do, but only twice. Eyes, but since I saw you yesterday, I haven't let you go. Look at it, I recognize you as my first wife."

Qin Juan clenched her fists.

No one knew how much she wanted to hug the child.

"People in the palace say that the eldest prince is stupid and suffered from mute disease in his mother's womb." Sun Taifei said: "But I don't think so. Today he doesn't eat or drink. In fact, he just wants me to kill you. Find it."

Taifei Sun murmured in a low voice: "A Ling is so smart, how could her child be stupid..."

Nanny Qin Ting listened to the concubine talking to herself, and secretly used her nails.

The concubine walked over, took Xiao Yun's hand and said, "I found her for you. Look, Yun'er, she is not your mother, she is your father's concubine."

Xiao Yun shook his head.

His eyes were very serious and he shook his head.

Taifei Sun stretched out the portrait, turned back and pointed at Qin Huan, and said: "Look, Beauty Qin has a mole here, but your mother does not, so they are not the same person."

Xiao Yun still shook his head.

Taifei Sun said to Qin Chan: "Come here a little longer and let him take a closer look."

Qin Juan walked over and said softly: "I am indeed not your queen mother."

As soon as these words came out, the little prince frowned.

A sense of grievance flooded into his eyes instantly.

Taifei Sun sighed: "Yun'er, it's better for you to be sad now than to be disappointed in the future."

Taifei Sun said to Qin Chan: "Thank you so much for today, Beauty Qin. You can go."

Qin Juan nodded and said: "Yes."

Seeing that she was about to leave, the little prince hurriedly pulled the concubine's sleeves and pointed at the painting.

The concubine was almost doubled over by him, and she quickly asked: "What's going on?"

The little prince chased after Qin Juan. Qin Juan quickly squatted down, looked at him levelly, and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

Taifei Sun frowned, her eyes immediately changed a bit when she looked at Qin Juan, and she was about to scold her.

Xiao Yun put her index finger on Qin Juan’s chin and said, "No."

Perhaps it was because he hadn't spoken for a long time. The word "no" didn't sound loud, but it was a bit sharp.

Taifei Sun's eyes widened and she was so shocked that she couldn't stop talking.

Qin Juan couldn't believe it and said: "Ms. Princess, did I hear this wrong?"

Taifei Sun took two deep breaths and said: "You heard it right, I heard it too. Yun'er, can you say it again, okay?"

Xiao Yun's long eyelashes fluttered, lowered, and stopped talking.

"Mother Yuan!"

Nanny Yuan walked in and said: "The old slave is here."

Taifei Sun said: "Go and invite your Majesty, immediately!"
