==Chapter 31 Abnormality==

The scorching sun was shining brightly, and hundreds of civil and military officials filed out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Everyone was whispering among themselves, all discussing the matter of establishing a successor.

"Lord Qin, stay." Eunuch Sheng said with a smile.

Qin Wang paused in his steps. After seeing the person clearly, he couldn't help but respectfully said: "I wonder what's wrong with Eunuch Sheng?"

Sheng Gong said fairly: "There is nothing wrong with our family, but His Majesty has something to do with Mr. Qin."

Qin Wang frowned and asked in confusion: "Why is your Majesty looking for this official?"

Eunuch Sheng said with a smile: "Master Qin, just come to Yangxin Hall with our family."

Qin Wang felt uneasy.

He has been in Beijing for more than half a year. Although he goes to court every day, this is the first time he is called to the Yangxin Palace.

He quickly recalled his recent political affairs. He could not say that he had many outstanding political achievements, but there should be no major mistakes.

But... the post of Taishi Ling in the Great Zhou Dynasty has almost become a vacant position as the Imperial Academy has gained more and more power.

What does Your Majesty want from him?

Could it be that... something happened to Ah Juan in the palace?

‌ At this point, Qin Wang's expression couldn't help but become solemn.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Qin Wang bowed.

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and said, "Give me a seat."

Hearing this, Qin Wang breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu looked at Qin Wang, as if he had something to say.

Since the draft in September, there has been one unresolved issue in the harem - the poison on Qin Jieyu.

Everything must be based on evidence. Shengkanghai Jingyang Palace and the First Department of the Sixth Bureau have checked it all, but they can't find any clues. That means that the person who poisoned the poison has a high ranking and behaves cautiously. , the traces have been wiped out in advance, so Qin Jieyu's poison was not injected in the palace at all.

Ning Shengfou made it very clear before.

Zi Muxiang's poison has strong medicinal properties. Once overdosed, he will suffocate and die, and he will not be able to survive into the palace.

But if it is a small amount of contamination, after the draft, the toxicity will be very small and difficult to detect.

Judging from the time and pulse condition, it should be the former.

But there have been frequent strange dreams recently, and he can't find the answer, so he can only think about the latter.

What if...

Xiao Yu pressed the ring in his hand fiercely. He knew how absurd his idea was.

But he still spoke: "I am here today to announce that you are here because I have something to ask you."

"I will tell you everything I know."

Xiao Yu looked into his eyes and said, "Has Qin Jieyu ever been poisoned at home before entering the palace?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wang's heart skipped a beat, but it was just a thump.

It was like a big stone hanging in my heart finally fell down.

A-婷 left him such a sentence before entering the palace.

——"If father wants his daughter to survive in the palace, then these letters and the glass of poisonous wine cannot be recognized by anyone who mentions them. It is anyone."

Anyone she talks about naturally includes the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

Qin Wang and Qin Suizhi settled everything early, then frowned and pretended to be stupid and said, "Report to your Majesty, I have never heard of this." At this moment, Qin Wang's back was wet.

Then he asked again: "But what happened to Qin Jieyu in the palace?"

Xiao Yu's eyes darkened a little and his tone was overwhelming, "If you dare to make any false statements today, I will dismiss you as an official."

Qin Wang stood up from his chair, knelt on the ground and said, "I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu felt half cold, and after a moment, he said calmly: "Let's go out."

"Then, the humble minister resigns."

After Qin Wang left, Xiao Yu leaned on his chair and was silent, with those dreams flashing through his mind over and over again, endlessly.

Even in the evening, when Marquis Chunnan sat across from him to report on his work, he was still absent-minded.

"Your Majesty, there have been many people who have been watching the imperial examinations and military examinations recently. They must have guessed that your Majesty wants to promote poor families. Do you need me to take care of the children of those aristocratic families?"

Xiao Yu said nothing.

Lu Ze glanced at the emperor suspiciously and said, "Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yu then looked at him.

Lu Ze said again: "Your Majesty, you haven't had a good rest lately? Why don't you, my minister, retire first and come back tomorrow night?"

Xiao Yu said: "No need, keep talking."

In the blink of an eye, Haishi has passed, and Lu Ze was about to retreat when he heard Xiao Yu suddenly say: "I want to see Taoist Ling Yun."

Taoist Lingyun is Zhuang Sheng’s master.

The sentence under the plaque of Qingfeng Tower was engraved by him.

I know your past life, understand your suffering in this life, and solve the mystery of your future.

Lu Ze was startled and said: "Your Majesty, but..."

Xiao Yu interrupted firmly: "No."

Lu Ze left the palace and went straight to Qingfeng Tower, where he brought His Majesty's oral instructions to Zhuang Sheng.

Zhuang Sheng, a man of the world, has never had many rules. He directly said what Lu Ze was holding in his heart, "Has your Majesty seen you again?"

Lu Ze shook his head, "No."

Zhuang Sheng said: "Then what will your Majesty do when you see the old man?"

Lu Ze said impatiently: "Your Majesty didn't say anything."

Zhuang Sheng nodded. The emperor said that he was indeed not qualified to ask.

"Sure, I'll write a letter to the old man and ask him to come to the palace tomorrow."

Lu Ze looked at the traces of promiscuity on his neck and frowned: "Are you taking a concubine?"

Zhuang Sheng tilted his head and smiled, "No."

He wanted to take a concubine, but someone refused to accept her.

‌ At this point, Zhuang Sheng raised his hand and touched his neck again, and those charming eyes flashed before his eyes again.

Maybe, some people are born to be wild and untamable.

Lu Ze was speechless and choked up as he looked at his mixed expression of joy and sorrow, thinking he was a romantic ghost in Fengyue.

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

In Jingyang Palace, the incense burner is filled with smoke.

Qin Juan sat in the hall with her chin in her hands and her eyes focused together. She recalled Xiao Yu's confusing eyes and smiled suddenly.

Last night was a dream, and six years ago, it was not a big dream.

It has to be said that Xiao Yu is a person who is extremely committed to his promises. After that, he was indeed very good to her. In other words, he was very good to Princess Jin.

When she was young at that time, she didn’t know that there was a kind of person in the world who could freely express her emotions.

He needs you urgently, so he can burn love urgently.

Let you mistakenly believe that you are who you are in the eyes of your lover, and you are who you are in your heart.

How can a person who is born to compete for love get involved in love?

She remembered that Xiao Yu used this corruption case to severely defeat King Yan's right-hand man. The case was reviewed in Dali Temple. Su Huaian tried his best to help, and the court was turbulent.

‌ This should be in response to what Su Huaian said - if he treats you well, I, Su Jingming, will voluntarily be loyal to him.

Qin Juan smiled.

That’s it, there’s nothing to think about.

He is the king, the Su family is the minister, and sincerity is the duty.

Perhaps this is the benefit of reliving her life. When she looks back at the past, everything that made her sad and bitter seems to have disappeared.

The most important thing for her right now is to win over Yun'er.

The concubine has been gone for several days, but the man has never let go, which makes her uneasy. After all, Jieyu's status is too low.

The courtiers were clamoring for a queen, but she didn’t know who he would appoint. It wouldn’t be her.

The Qin family has no meritorious service, and she failed to give birth to an heir for the royal family. She was promoted from a sixth-grade beauty to a fourth-grade Jieyu, and there was already quite a bit of criticism in the palace.

Not to mention that Kunning Palace will have a queen, there is currently a queen mother in Cining Palace.

If her guess is correct, everyone in the harem must be thinking about this matter, and some may even go to Cining Palace to "say hello".

She was not qualified to negotiate terms with the Queen Mother, so she could only wait behind the emperor. She was not allowed to go to Cining Palace.

Concubine Xue looked at the news in her hand and sneered: "You think that if you are born with the same face, you have the same fate? Your biological mother died young, your father is just a Taishi Ling, and your brother is not on the stage. What if a merchant takes part in the martial arts examination and thinks he can get ahead? A single word from the Xue family can make him lose his life in the Ministry of War."

Qingyue rubbed Concubine Xue's shoulders, "Don't worry, Madam, in my humble opinion, Your Majesty may not hand over the eldest prince to Qin Jieyu."

Concubine Xue said coldly: "But I see that Your Majesty just likes that face."

"No matter how much you like it, it's just a likeness." Qingyue said: "I think about it carefully, the eldest prince's mother's family is treason, and everyone in the world knows it. If your majesty puts the eldest prince in Qin Jieyu's place to raise , what kind of help can it provide in the future?"

Concubine Xue said: "How could I not know what you said? But sometimes the living cannot compete with the dead. How your Majesty played with the harem three years ago, I will never forget in my life! ”

"It's not like he's never done anything that makes him faint."

Qingyue said softly: "But what if Qin Jieyu was the Concubine Li back then?"

Concubine Xue thought through this sentence instantly, "You mean... His Majesty never thought that the eldest prince would be handed over to Qin Jieyu, but that he wanted to hand it over to another one?"

Qingyue said: "Exactly, Madam, you have the Xue family behind you, He Shuyi has the Ho family behind you, Concubine Liu also has the chief minister behind you, even Xu Shuyi is more suitable to raise the prince than Qin Jieyu."

Concubine Xue narrowed her eyes and murmured: "Three years ago, he died of premature birth and collapse. Just because of this, Your Majesty will not leave the child to me and Concubine Liu. He has always been afraid of the family's involvement in politics. Is it difficult to No...is it Xu Lanzhi?"

Concubine Xue shook her head again and said: "But the eldest prince's mouth problem was clearly cured by meeting Qin Jieyu... This is not a coincidence."

Qingyue said: "This is just a guess by this servant."

Concubine Xue stood up and said, "I am going to Cining Palace."

Concubine Xue walked into Cining Palace, and the corners of her mouth suddenly raised.

Of course, there is no simple person in this harem.

Concubine Liu and He Shuyi are both here. She came quite late.

Seeing Concubine Xue coming, the Queen Mother immediately smiled and said: "I didn't know, I thought you had made an appointment to come together. Come here quickly."

Concubine Liu is playing chess with the Queen Mother.

Concubine Xue Shiran walked over and said softly, "Sister Liu, you must have fallen into the wrong place."

As soon as Concubine Xue reached out her hand, Concubine Liu blocked her, "Sister, I picked it off the wall, and my hand was stretched out so long."

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Concubine Xue, watching the chess without saying a word."

Concubine Xue said: "I know my mistake."

The Queen Mother said: "What's wrong? You finally came here. I'll play a game with Ai's family later."

This room is full of old foxes, each with higher moral standards than the other, and they all have something to say. He Shuyi, who has just entered the palace, is obviously at a loss.

After a long while, the Queen Mother suddenly pressed her temples again.

Concubine Xue said quickly: "What's going on, Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother said: "After all, my body and bones are not as good as before. I used to play chess without getting tired, but now I feel dizzy after watching it for a while."

Concubine Xue put her hands on the Queen Mother's temples and rubbed them slowly, "What did the imperial doctor say?"

"As I said before, the Ai family is told to rest." The Queen Mother frowned and said, "But you see there are so many things going on in the palace, how can the Ai family rest?"

The three of them said together: "I am willing to share the Queen Mother's worries."

The Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully and said: "Concubine Xue, He Shuyi has not been in the palace for a long time and is still inexperienced. Concubine Liu's health is also good and bad. The Ai family will see that you are energetic."

Concubine Xue said: "Is the Queen Mother dissatisfied that my concubine is noisy?"

The Queen Mother threw the black piece in her hand into the chess basket and said slowly: "The Ai family will leave the power of co-managing the Sixth Palace to you."
