Millennium drunk

Su Lingyu quietly retreated to the original spot, and stood with her chest in her hands.At this time, it was wrong for her to show her face, and she was afraid that Xia Ruoqing would be startled by the sound of her footsteps when she left, so she could only stand there, looking at Qingxiao silently, quite embarrassed.

From Xia Ruoqing's side, there were still intermittent sounds of vomiting and the sound of comforting slapping from the maid. Su Lingyu couldn't help but feel some admiration and sympathy for this noble concubine.After a while, Xia Ruoqing finally heard Xia Ruoqing say: "Help me to rest, I feel very uncomfortable."

But hearing soft footsteps, Xia Ruoqing was helped by the maid to the tree trunk.Su Lingyu hurriedly pulled Qingxiao to hide it, and continued to peep through the gap, hoping that Xia Ruoqing would leave early.The partial student Xia Ruoqing seemed to be unable to vomit, and leaned softly on the maid, who frantically wiped the saliva from the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.

"Didn't your silk wrap the hydrangea just now, why did you take it out again?"

"Your Majesty, this servant is only wearing this silk handkerchief..."

Xia Ruoqing glanced sideways at the maid, but she didn't blame her anymore, she just said, "Take out the rice distribution box and touch up my makeup."

"Yes."

Being able to get a good rouge, Xia Ruoqing pushed the maid aside and stood up, it was that gentle and gentle concubine Jinggui again.Only then did the two continue to search for hydrangeas along the path to the southwest.

After Su Lingyu and the others walked away, he took a deep breath and hurried in the opposite direction.

Afraid of meeting Xia Ruoqing again, Su Lingyu made a deliberate detour.It's just that the garden is only so big after all, and unexpectedly ran into Xia Ruoqing in front of the South Garden.

"Su Guiren also came to the South Garden to look for hydrangeas?" Concubine Jinggui said softly to Su Lingyu, unable to see the discomfort just a moment ago.

"Concubine Jinggui is well." Su Lingyu was blessed with a short body, pretending to have just arrived, and said with a smile: "Yes, I finished looking for hydrangeas in Lengxiang Garden, so I stopped by to help Fu Guiren take a look .”

"Alright, I also want to come and help find it, so let's go together. I only found two in the West Garden. I'm afraid I will be fined for drinking this time." Xia Ruoqing smiled.

"Yes. I went around the North Garden for several times and only found two. It's really hard to find." Su Lingyu agreed, and walked behind Xia Ruoqing with a respectful gesture.

The two of them, together with the two maids, looked left and right, carefully searching the trees.After walking for more than ten steps, Xia Ruoqing's figure suddenly crooked, and Su Lingyu was standing beside her. Before she could think about it, she quickly reached out to support her: "Concubine Jing! Are you feeling unwell? I will send you back to the imperial doctor Come and have a look?"

"It's okay." Xia Ruoqing stood up a little bit, but her figure still showed a weak look: "I'm afraid I drank too much just now, and I didn't feel it at the banquet. After walking in the garden for a while, the strength of the alcohol came up instead. , nothing serious."

This time Su Lingyu and Xia Ruoqing got closer, and found that maybe it was because of the heavy rouge later on, Xia Ruoqing's cheeks were very red, and her eyes were watery, which seemed to be a bit drunk.

Su Lingyu's thoughts changed slightly, and she immediately understood that it was because Xia Ruoqing didn't want to continue drinking, and it was inconvenient to speak directly to Concubine Xin, and she wanted to use her mouth to withdraw from the banquet.

"Since that's the case, I will help the empress to go back first. It's still chilly in spring, and it's easy to catch wind and chill after getting drunk and hot."

Xia Ruoqing had this intention, so Su Lingyu simply followed her tone.Sure enough, Xia Ruoqing smiled even more softly when she heard the words, and said, "This will bother my sister."

"Your Majesty is too polite, I don't dare to be a concubine." Su Lingyu stretched out her hand wisely to hold Xia Ruoqing again, so that Concubine Jing's 'drunkness' seemed more real.

Xia Ruoqing didn't refuse, and supported by Su Lingyu, she slowly walked back to the place where the banquet was held.Every time Su Lingyu took a step, the footsteps swayed slightly, Xia Ruoqing's half-closed peach eyes couldn't help but glance over there, and said with a smile: "My sister's footsteps are not gold or silver, they seem to be made of wood? It’s rare. Especially the hibiscus flower on the head of the hairpin, it’s so lifelike.”

Xia Ruoqing's affection was beyond words, even if Su Lingyu didn't want to, she couldn't show it on her face, so she had to pull Bu Yao from her hair and presented it to Xia Ruoqing: "It's just a piece of agarwood woodcarving. If the empress likes it, I will present it to the empress willingly."

"Such an exquisite thing, just to be loved by Mrs. Su?" Having said that, Xia Ruoqing took Bu Yao into her hands and played with it repeatedly.

Seeing this, Su Lingyu could only continue to say: "The concubine is only terrified and rude, and I can't get into the eyes of the empress."

"Since Su Guiren said so, then I will accept it. Thank you Su Guiren, I will ask the maid to prepare a string of Dongzhu necklaces and send them to Qingtao Garden later, as a thank you gift."

Pretending to decline, Xia Ruoqing handed Bu Yao to the maid beside her for safekeeping.She has a special liking for hibiscus, and Emperor Nanzhao loved peonies, so most of the decorations in the palace are peonies and peonies. come over.

"Thank you Concubine Jing." Su Lingyu thanked her verbally, but her heart was full of displeasure.

This gentle and gentle woman is indeed a duplicity.For what you want, you don't care what other people think.

Su Lingyu's sympathy for Xia Ruoqing not long ago disappeared without a trace, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes were turned to the left to admire the flowers and plants by the side of the road. thing.

There was a touch of purple in the corner of her eyes, Su Lingyu looked intently, but saw Fu Liuying hiding behind a clump of magnolias in the distance, looking at her coldly, with a mocking smile on her lips.

Just as Su Lingyu was about to say hello, Fu Liuying turned around and left the clump of magnolia flowers, hiding in the depths of the flowers, never to be seen again.

Finally sent the person back to the banquet, and with a fake smile, told about Concubine Jing's drunkenness. After drinking the fine wine, Su Lingyu let out a sigh of relief and sat back on her seat. The idea of ​​joking with others.After searching for hydrangea round after round, it was almost dusk. Most of the concubines were fined to drink before they finished hunting for hydrangea.

The days that followed returned to the usual boredom and silence. The only difference was that Fu Liuying's attitude changed from indifference to frosty. Su Lingyu went to look for her several times but to no avail. Later, when her temper picked up, she simply stopped going. try to find.

Ten days later, something happened in the palace, which immediately broke the calm and superficial peace of the palace.

The noble concubine Xia Ruoqing had a miscarriage.

As soon as this happened, the whole palace was boiling.Originally, she had never heard of Concubine Jinggui's pregnancy, but suddenly there was news of a miscarriage, and there were speculations in the palace immediately.This matter is no small matter, the cabinet and imperial hospital did not dare to neglect, and immediately reported it to the queen.The queen was lingering on the sick bed and was unable to take charge of the matter, so she reported the matter to the queen mother.

The crown prince and the third prince died within two years respectively, and the second prince was born with a disease. The queen mother fasted and prayed only to ask the concubines in the palace to conceive the heir of Emperor Nanzhao, but what she waited for was that Fumei had a miscarriage and Jinggui concubine lost her son. Afterwards, within three months, the two concubines had miscarriages, and they were both in good health, naturally Fengyan was furious.All the words were omitted from the Queen Mother's edict from the Yellow Gate, except for two words: Thorough investigation!

Check everything from Concubine Jinggui's daily life to daily utensils.Who visited Concubine Jing, what they said, and what they gave, pushed forward day by day, and soon found out the Spring Festival Banquet arranged by Concubine Xin.

Concubine Xin Gui wept in front of the Queen Mother, crying out for injustice, saying that she had no idea that Concubine Jing was pregnant.What's more, the food at the banquet was all prepared by the imperial dining room, and there were records to check, and there was no food that would cause tire slippage at all.As for the wine, many of the concubines present have seen it all, and it was Concubine Jing who drank it herself, so what does it have to do with them?

With just a few words, Concubine Xin pushed the responsibility away from herself.The Empress Dowager turned pale with anger, but Concubine Jing had just had a miscarriage, and she shed tears every day, so it was not good for the Empress Dowager to accuse her at this moment, but she couldn't swallow this breath, so she took her anger on Concubine Xin, and blamed her After half a month of contemplation behind closed doors, there was no order to leave Qingle Palace for half a step.

The Empress Dowager herself also does not believe that a few glasses of wine at the Wangchun Banquet will cause Concubine Jinggui to have a miscarriage, including the food at the banquet, and there will be no problems, otherwise there will be signs on the same day or the next day, and it will not be delayed until ten days later Most of the objects or food used by Concubine Jinggui were tampered with.Therefore, after punishing Concubine Xin, the Empress Dowager ordered the Cabinet to review the records of Concubine Jing's daily use and daily meals.For a while, the Linghuan Palace where Concubine Jing lived was turned upside down, everyone in the palace was thrown into the Qingping Pavilion for interrogation, and all the clothes, jewelry, cups, bowls and chopsticks were moved back to the Imperial Hospital for examination.

Huangtian paid off, after a thorough investigation, he finally found something strange.

It was night, Su Lingyu looked out of the window melancholy.The sky is starless and moonless tonight, and the wind is blowing violently. The green bamboos outside the window are blown wildly by the wind, and the branches are waving like the hands and feet of a ghostly yaksha.

"My lord, it's windy tonight, so be careful not to catch a cold if the wind blows." Qingxiao leaned forward and closed the window, and said to Su Lingyu.

"Qingxiao, look at this day, does it look like it's going to rain in spring?" Su Lingyu's bun has been untied, her long hair is loose, her face is soft and soft, which is rare in private, her almond eyes are wide open, lovely Looking at Qingxiao pitifully, with the handkerchief constantly rolled up in his hands, his hesitation was beyond words.

Qingxiao grew up with Su Lingyu, she knew her old problems, she said in a funny and affectionate way: "Don't be afraid, my servant, I will accompany you."

"but……"

"Don't be afraid, my servant won't sleep tonight, how about being with you?" Qingxiao brought the steaming bowl to Su Lingyu: "Your lord, drink the hot milk and go to sleep. I can't hear you."

"Qingxiao, then don't leave while I'm asleep."

"Qingxiao will not leave, Qinghao will guard the nobleman tonight." Qinghao coaxed Su Lingyu to finish drinking the hot milk like a child, and then coaxed him to bed. Just as the gauze curtain was put down, there was a loud noise in the courtyard. It was suddenly white outside the window.

"Qingxiao, what's going on outside?" Su Lingyu, who had just fallen asleep, sat up startled by the loud noise, and asked.

"Slaves go and have a look."

Qingxiao opened the wooden door angrily, and just wanted to see what happened, but unexpectedly, the whole courtyard outside the door was brightly lit by lanterns, and there was a crowd of people standing there, wearing the snow-green and black-cloud gowns exclusive to the Inner House, and tied around their waists, Surrounded Dongnuan Pavilion expressionlessly.

"You...you are so brave, you dare to break into the concubine's residence at night!" Qingxiao had never seen such a battle before, her delicate face turned pale with fright, and she made a gesture to ask, but her voice trembled.

"Slave You Xi, the Empress Dowager ordered Su Lingyu to go to Ning'an Hall immediately." The leader was a yellow door with flying cranes embroidered on his robe, and said to Qingxiao with a smile on his face as he took a step forward.

Qingxiao had seen this person from afar before, and he was Huangmen, the head of the Empress Dowager's Palace.Qingxiao already guessed that something was wrong, so she could only smile stiffly: "My lord, wait a moment, nobleman Su has already rested, and this slave girl will go to wash and change clothes for the nobleman."

"There's no need to change, the Empress Dowager is waiting in Ning'an Palace." You Xi flicked the tail of his hand and said sharply: "Please come out quickly, Su Guiren."

Su Lingyu could hear it clearly in the inner room. At this time, she put on a cloak, walked to the door, and pretended to be calm: "Su Lingyu has come out, please visit the Yellow Gate to lead the way."

You Xi glanced at Su Lingyu with pity and sarcasm, saluted, turned around and left the gate of Qingtao Garden.

When You Xi came, he didn't have a car, horse and sedan chair ready, so Su Lingyu had no choice but to walk.Although everyone around her saluted her as usual, they intentionally or unintentionally sandwiched her in the middle of the crowd along the way.Su Lingyu Bingxue was smart, and immediately guessed that the miscarriage of the noble concubine Xia Ruoqing might have implicated her, but she couldn't figure out how she had nothing to do with Xia Ruoqing, how could she get into such trouble?

Halfway along the road, the rain that had been suffocated at dusk finally began to fall. Su Lingyu was only wearing her bedtime unlined clothing and a cloak, and was shivering from the rain and the wind.Qingxiao looked at it distressedly, and without regard to face, she untied the outer shirt and let Su Lingyu wear it, but it didn't help.Su Lingyu's heart was beating like a drum, and she stretched out one hand to hold Qingxiao's hand tightly, just like the day she entered the palace, full of hesitation and anxiety at the end of the road.

The light finally appeared in the distance, and as it progressed, the bright spot became bigger and bigger, and it was the brightly lit Ning'an Hall.

You Xi quickened his pace, and Su Lingyu had no choice but to keep up, walking out of breath.It's just that You Xi didn't go directly into the main hall, but walked around to the side hall to bring Su Lingyu into the Nuan Pavilion.In the Warm Pavilion, the lamps and candles were all lit like daytime, and the screen was moved aside, revealing the bed in the inner room.On the bed, who was half reclining and half sitting, was the noble concubine Xia Ruoqing, and there were two chairs by the side of the bed, and a dignified lady over half a century old, with a cold face, was the queen mother sitting on the upper seat.Sitting on the lower seat was the empress who had been ill for a long time and looked haggard.

Su Lingyu hurriedly knelt down and made a big salute, saying: "My noble concubine, Su Lingyu, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager's fortune is endless. I bow to the Empress, and the Empress is blessed with good fortune. My concubine Jinggui, my concubine Jinggui is safe."

"Su Lingyu? Look up."

Su Lingyu raised her head as she said, with no expression on her back, she sneered and said, "The Ai family remembers you, Su Hong's daughter, right? She is really beautiful and beautiful."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager's tone was not friendly, and Su Lingyu was worried and didn't know how to respond, so she had to respond indiscriminately.

"The Ai family called you here today to show you two things."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, two Huang Men immediately walked up to Su Lingyu holding the box.But the Queen Mother said again: "Let her see, can you recognize these things?"

Su Lingyu didn't know why, and stared at the box in Huangmen's hand in confusion.Both boxes were opened simultaneously, revealing the contents inside.A flower branch is contained in a box.The branches are quadrangular, densely covered with white star-shaped fine hairs, and there is a light blue flower at the top. The calyx is ovate and bell-shaped, and the style is slender. When the box is opened, a strong fragrance comes out immediately.Su Lingyu had never seen this flower branch before, but felt that the scent was familiar, and couldn't remember where she had smelled it.

Another item in the box that Su Lingyu is very familiar with is the agarwood hibiscus flower bud that she "gifted" to the noble concubine Xia Ruoqing.

"Su Guiren, have you seen these two things?" The queen coughed twice and asked Su Lingyu.

"As for the Empress Dowager and the Empress, I only know this bud, but I have never seen the flower branch before."

"Is it true that you have never seen it? You should smell it, even if you have never seen the flower branch, you should be familiar with the fragrance." After the Queen Mother said this, a look of disgust appeared on her face.

Su Lingyu was surprised and aggrieved, but she didn't dare to disobey the Queen Mother's order, so she could only approach the flower branch, close her eyes and sniff lightly.

The strong and fragrant fragrance poured into the nose, and the mind was suddenly sober and refreshed, with a sweet aftertaste.Su Lingyu always felt that the smell was very familiar, and after sniffing it again, her mind suddenly became clear, and she suddenly remembered where she had smelled it.

On the hydrangea planted by Zhen Wanyi at the Wangchun Banquet, there is this fragrance of flowers and branches!

It's just that the fragrance on the hydrangea is very light, very elegant, different from today's strong fragrance, so Su Lingyu didn't connect the two for a while.

Su Lingyu looked at the flower branch, then at the agarwood tree, and vaguely felt that she had been drawn into a cover, but she still couldn't figure out what the cover was like.

"Remember?" The queen mother sat on the upper seat, watching Su Lingyu's every move and the subtle expression on her face coldly.Su Lingyu's astonishment when she suddenly realized did not escape her sharp eyes.

Before Su Lingyu could reply, the Empress Dowager suddenly yelled coldly again: "However, a little nobleman has the guts to touch your concubine's womb! I think you are tired of living!"

While the queen mother was drinking violently, thunder exploded from the sky outside. Su Lingyu was so startled that her whole body trembled, she couldn't help but prostrate on the ground, and after a while she tremblingly said: "I don't understand... why the queen mother said this..."

"If you don't want people to know, you have to do it yourself. Since you don't want to recruit, Aijia will tell you for you! You are jealous of Jinggui's pregnancy, so you will soak the rosemary and give it to Jinggui. Rosemary The fragrance can make people slippery and it is not easy to show traces. If the Ai family had not ordered the inner court to check the personal things of the concubine Jing, you would have almost escaped! You have a delicate and beautiful face, but your heart is like a snake and a scorpion. So vicious and ruthless, how can a cruel person like you be tolerated by the emperor's side and in the harem!"

Every word of the Queen Mother was like a heavy hammer, hitting Su Lingyu's heart heavily.Su Lingyu was dumbfounded and forgot to explain for a while, until the last words of the Queen Mother, which was tantamount to condemning her to death, Su Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and then she was shocked, and then said: "The Queen Mother... concubine... is wronged Yes! I beseech the Empress Dowager, Empress, and Concubine Jinggui for enlightenment!"
