Palace Scheming: the Queen In the Cold Palace I

Chapter 34 Jade and pure ice capture your heart (3)

 I thought that Concubine Hua, who was temporarily taking care of the harem on her behalf, must have encountered something that needed to be decided by her, so she came to Jinfeng Palace for a rare occasion.

"As expected, my sister is very good at predicting events. Haha, the Queen Mother asked her to arrange the talent show two days ago. The beautiful girls have been selected by the nuns and have now moved into the Chuxiu Palace. The emperor said that it is necessary during the selection. My sister and my sister decided together, so I wanted to come over and ask my sister, when should the selection day be?"

With that said, she asked Ning'er to hand over the draft roster. Xiao Taohong took it and handed it to Yun Qing.

"Okay, Sister Hua Fei has been working hard these days." Yun Qing glanced at the list in the show book and found that in the three show books listed separately, in addition to a few names indicating that they were not acclimatized to the climate and contracted cold illness or health, There are no major changes except for the elimination of various minor flaws.

 In another book of show girls selected by the people, many show girls were eliminated.

The reason is very simple. Compared with the beautiful women carefully selected from Tibetan kings and merchants from all over the world, they lack the unique beauty and care. Compared with the daughters of high-ranking officials, they have no money and power, and they are expected to stay. , must be a daughter with excellent talent.

So Yun Qing did not look at the list in the independent volume, but took a closer look at the list of dozens of people in the other volume, then nodded slightly and said with a smile: "My sister is very meticulous in doing things, so I leave this matter to my sister." I can rest assured that it will be dealt with. Haha, although my body has recovered well in the past two days, it is not as good as this. It will be the eighth day of April in five days. Let’s go to Chuxiu Palace for selection with my sister.”

"Everything is decided by sister!" He Ruowan smiled lightly on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes. Seeing that Yun Qing seemed to be pale, she couldn't help but flash her eyes and said with a smile: "Sister has been sick these days, I'm afraid... Don’t you know what happened in the palace these days? Haha, there was an assassin in my sister’s palace a few days ago!”

As she spoke, she flashed her eyebrows, looked at Yun Qing's seemingly puzzled eyes, and said with a smile: "At that time, the emperor was sleeping in his sister's palace. Suddenly he heard someone shouting that there was an assassin. After asking, he found out that it was the king of Ming and Qing Dynasties. He discovered the assassin and tracked him all the way to his sister's palace. He seemed to have fought with the assassin, but he let the assassin run away. Later, the commander of the Royal Forest Army found several golden needles that were similar to those taken out of his sister's body on the Qingming Festival. , I think the assassin is the same person from the Qingming Festival."

Yun Qing's beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed and she looked at He Ruowan indifferently without answering. He wanted to hear what she meant when she suddenly said this.

He Ruowan still took a sip of hot tea and added: "So I am very worried about my sister. I wonder if my sister has offended someone and has been targeted by assassins?"

Bitao's palms tightened and she looked angrily at He Ruowan who was smiling so brightly. She wanted to step forward and give her a slap. Who else in the harem could harm the young lady besides her?

"If my sister hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten it. I must have offended the villain unintentionally, otherwise I wouldn't have been stabbed first and poisoned later." Yun Qing glanced at He Ruowan coldly. , the curvature of the corner of his mouth was indifferent and cold, "Mr. Hua has found out that someone secretly added a medicine - veratrum to my medicinal diet a few days ago. Haha, although the medicine is not very toxic, it is in my Qi. If you have weak blood, you will vomit blood and die if you take it by mistake. Veratrum anti-ginseng. I think some people are proficient in medical science and know that nourishing ginseng must be included in my medicinal diet, so they mix this thing into the medicine. It took a lot of effort.”

He Ruowan's face changed slightly, but her eyes were not afraid. She still looked closely at Yun Qing's beautiful eyes and said with a fake smile: "Oh, since sister found out that someone was poisoned, why don't you find out the person behind the scenes? The emperor will seek justice for my sister?"

She snorted coldly in her heart, not to mention that Yunqing couldn't find out who drugged her, and even if she found out, who would admit it?

This time she did not take advantage of any of the maids in Yunqing Palace, including Qiuyue, so she was absolutely sure that Yunqing could only suffer the loss of being dumb and had nothing to say.

"Sister, I'm interested. I just don't want the matter to get bigger! If we really want to discuss the matter, I will control the harem, so why does the emperor need to come forward?" Yun Qing chuckled lightly, and looked at He Ruowan with a deep look. Before she could think about it, Before speaking again, he interrupted calmly: "I am a little tired. If my sister has nothing else to do, please come back first."

"Yes, since my sister is not feeling well, I will leave first!" She originally wanted to see Yun Qing look scared or upset, but there was none at all. He Ruowan couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart. Under her calm and smiling gaze, she just smiled slightly. Once blessed, he immediately retired.

snort. She will not give up. As long as Yun Qing is around, she will not let her go!

Before He Ruowan left, the sinister smile on his face made Qiu Yue, who was standing outside the hall, unable to help but feel frightened. When she heard that the jingling bells brought by Concubine Hua could not cover up her cold snort when she left, Xiao Taohong, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Miss, this woman is too blatant!" As soon as Concubine Hua's figure disappeared, Bi Tao couldn't help but stomped her foot and let out a bitter sigh.

"Yes! Miss, the emperor's indifference has only boosted her arrogance. I'm afraid that if her plan fails, she will harm the miss again." Xiao Taohong was worried. Seeing the obvious provocation on He Ruowan's face today, she was also very worried. Worry about the lady.

"It's okay. Since ancient times, it's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Since she has made her hostile attitude clear, I don't have to worry too much." Yun Qing smiled faintly, remembering that day Hua Heng asked the emperor in front of him that he was indeed After someone added drugs that should not be added to the medicinal diet, the emperor immediately sent people to find out the origin of the drugs.

It turned out that when Fu Ming's medical boy was grabbing new medicine, a young **** from the Medical Supervision Bureau mixed the medicine with his hands. Afterwards, the young **** was worried that the incident would affect his family, so he committed suicide.

 So when all the "truth" was clearly presented, Xuanyuan Ze pondered for a while, then suddenly turned his eyes to her and asked: "Queen, tell me, how do you want me to punish these people?"

 He looked straight at her, as if he would agree to what she said.

Yun Qing sneered in his heart, it was indeed the impermanence of life and death, the value of human life, which made people sigh.

Just by taking the wrong medicine, he almost killed himself, and also lost the life of the young eunuch; now he has to be punished together with the implicated Dr. Fu and Bitao!

"If Yun Qing said so, will the emperor agree?" She smiled lightly, not believing that he would not be able to imagine that the dead little **** dared to make careless mistakes about the empress' medicinal diet that had contributed to the rescue. If so, then he It's really time to die.

It’s just that Yun Qing understands that sometimes, whether a person understands something in his heart is one thing, and whether he is willing to believe it is another matter.

 She didn’t want to delve deeper into the question of right and wrong, good and evil.

She remembered that after hearing what she said, Xuanyuan Ze pondered for a long time, and then his handsome eyes darkened and his voice was as cold as ice: "Yun!"

 It was a short word, but he thought about it for so long.

But it was rare that he actually agreed.

Hehe, isn't he afraid that he will take the opportunity to bring up his beloved and make him face the so-called troubles of Jun Wuxiyan?

Or, he was sure that he would not embarrass him, so he refused to agree?

"Please let the emperor bury the little **** safely, and spare the others." She suddenly felt weak, her voice was low, and she didn't want to hear these heavy topics again.

 What is imperial power, what is the truth, and what is justice?

Just because she is a queen, so he values ​​her life. Does that mean other people’s lives are inherently inferior?

For invisible vanity, they can make their living lives pay a heavy price for it. Is it worth it?

With a faint sigh, Yun Qing didn't want to think about the things that made her uncomfortable anymore, and decided to take more rest while she had two days to spare.

I'm afraid that one day, I will never have this kind of leisure again, and I won't be able to rest even if I want to.

“Miss, are you tired? Let me help you lie down on the bed.” Seeing Yun Qing’s brows furrowed, Bi Tao knew that she was not strong enough, so she thought she was tired.

Yunqing nodded, feeling a little tired indeed.

With Bi Tao's support, she lay down on the bed again. Seeing Bi Tao closing the window tightly for fear that she would get caught in the wind, she couldn't help but smile: "I'm not asleep, I'm just lying down. Doesn't it matter if I blow some wind?"

"No! Imperial Physician Hua said that the young lady's constitution is still weak and she must not be careless." Bitao refused, still closing all the windows and drawing the curtains to protect Yunqing from the wind.

"Okay, Imperial Physician Hua said! Bitao is almost becoming Imperial Physician Hua's assistant now." Yun Qing shook his head, smiled and teased, making Bi Tao blush, and said angrily: "Oh, the young lady will make fun of Bi Tao. It’s disgusting, people don’t care about you.”

 “Who do you care about?”

“My slave, Xiao Taohong, is here to see the prince!” A hearty laughter suddenly came from outside the palace. Xiao Taohong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but she saw that Xuanyuan Moyu had already stretched out his hand, opened the curtain and walked in without being invited.

"Slave Bitao, meet the prince!" Bitao turned her head in surprise and saw the King of Ming and Qing suddenly appearing in the young lady's bedroom. His dark court clothes, silver crown, and tall back immediately covered the weak light in the palace, making the clouds clear. Can't help but be slightly stunned.

"Why, after how many days we haven't seen each other, the queen doesn't even recognize me anymore?" The giggling voice showed no respect that a prince and the queen should have. Her pair of handsome and charming eyes stared deeply at her since she entered the palace. That beautiful person on the bed.

 I saw a charming smile on his lips, and my longing heart was finally released at this moment.

 “Your Majesty, you are polite!” Yun Qing smiled slightly and felt inexplicably better.

Perhaps it was because the two of them had been facing each other calmly in Cuiwei Palace, and she suddenly liked his natural and casual personality, which allowed her to no longer be constrained by the extremely complicated etiquette of the harem, and she felt rare and relaxed.

At this time, due to the backlight, his expression was unclear, but she could feel his blazing eyes staring at her face from the moment she entered the palace, which made her heart beat inexplicably faster.

This kind of gaze was so familiar, it seemed that it would linger in her dreams every day, but every time she woke up, she found that it was just a vague dream.

"Are you feeling better?" Xuanyuan Moyu couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw the mist in her eyes, and then suddenly his body flashed. Before Bi Tao could react, his hand was already on Yun Qing's wrist.

"You..." Yun Qing was startled and subconsciously pulled out his hand but couldn't. Bi Tao and Xiao Taohong were so frightened that they shouted in unison. Xuanyuan Moyu did not take any further action, but concentrated on measuring Yun Qing's hand pulse, so that Yun Qing understood his purpose.

"Fortunately, I'm recovering well." He let go of Yun Qing's hand with some reluctance, and looked at her with a smile, his voice soft.

"You can also feel the pulse?" Yun Qing looked at him with some disbelief, his eyes full of doubt.
