You can imagine the expression and mood of the imperial doctor at that time.
The queen laughed miserably now. She held her stomach and laughed for a long time, and finally managed to hold it back.
Xining was very satisfied with the effect: "Well, this job is done well. You have to be the general manager, and I am really not used to it being others."
The chief steward immediately smiled and bowed his head in salute: "It is my blessing to be able to serve His Majesty. My ancestors have accumulated good deeds, so I am allowed to be by Your Majesty's side..."
"Okay, okay." Xining smiled and waved his hand: "Don't come here for free. Now the treasury is empty and there is nothing to reward you. Just let others respect you. I believe you know what to take and what to give." You shouldn’t take it.”
When the chief steward heard this, his heart skipped a beat, but this was not the time to kneel down and apologize. He smiled happily and said with a playful face: "Your Majesty still understands this slave best. No matter what I do, I can't escape your Majesty's eyes." .Hehehehe..."
Xining picked up the tea and took a sip: "In this case, you can tell me about my poisoning."
"Ah?" The general manager was stunned. He was going around and around this matter, and he put on a bitter look: "I'm just a slave, how could I know..."
"Come on!" Xining squinted: "You are the most well-informed person in the palace. If you don't know, then no one really knows. Is it possible that those people really don't even leak anything in their work?"
The empress seemed unhappy, and the chief steward hesitated: "Actually, I'm not very sure either..."
"Let's talk casually, but it doesn't matter. I won't blame you if I say something wrong!" Xining picked up the tea and took another sip, pretending not to care, and secretly peeked at the chief manager through the gap in the tea bowl.
"It's not surprising that I said it wrong..." After hesitation, the chief manager said softly: "The dead man's name was Xiao Quanzi. He had a good relationship with Xiao Dezi in Concubine Xiao's palace."
Xining put down the tea bowl and looked at the queen. The queen immediately understood and ordered the eunuch beside her to go to Xiao Junfei's palace and call Xiao Dezi.
The chief steward still stood there holding the fly whisk, as if he had not said anything just now.
Xining saw the queen sitting there, silent. So he said: "You and Concubine Xiao have a good relationship. He is not around well. She likes to read. The two of you will read and discuss articles together from time to time."
The Queen took a slight breath and said, "If it was him who did it, I would feel chilled."
Xining smiled faintly: "Everything must be seen clearly. Without conclusive evidence, one cannot easily draw conclusions. It's a bit amazing. When you take a step, you will think of seven or eight steps, or even a dozen steps, just like playing chess. I can't figure this out. , has also been taken into account. Please check slowly, don’t be in a hurry."
The Queen seemed relieved and nodded.
After a while, the people who went there hurriedly came back, knelt down and reported back, saying that Xiao Dezi was also dead.
"It was said that he was drunk last night and fell into the lotus pond. When the servant went over, he saw that the body had been fished out of the pond. He was very drunk."
The queen's face suddenly turned pale, and it took a while before she responded: "I understand."
The eunuch then stood up and retreated to the side to wait.
"Cai~" Xining cheered. If it were a modern day, she would have clapped her hands: "Now the suspicion of Concubine Xiao is confirmed. The concubine is also suspected. She almost put the blame on you before. One stone is more than a stone. Bird is indeed a master."
"But why do you do this?" The queen didn't understand: "Your Majesty has other concubines, and he has squeezed out the minister, noble concubine, and Xiao Concubine. What good will it do to him?"
"It's hard to say!" Xining closed his eyes and sat there, shaking his head slightly from time to time: "It's possible that the noble concubine and Xiao Fei did it. Now it's just the thieves shouting to chase the thieves, which makes the water more muddy. There are also Maybe it was someone else who did it, and they pulled one after another so that they could have a chance. Maybe someone had a personal vendetta, or maybe it was just for fun, lest the world would not be in chaos."
The queen pondered for a while and expressed the same thought as hers: "In this world, the human heart is the most difficult to see through."
Xining also felt tired: "I want to rest."
"I will help your majesty to rest." The queen really just helped her to the bedside, helped her take off her shoes and socks, and tucked her in with the quilt.
Xi Ning's sleep was getting thicker. He closed his eyes and murmured words as if in his sleep: "Don't be too tired and check too hard, which means more people will die sooner. This person is hidden deep... and he can't be found." It doesn’t matter, the fox’s tail will be exposed sooner or later, so you should rest early.”
"Yes~" After the queen responded softly, she stood up and took two steps back. After the bed curtain was lowered, he continued to retreat and left quietly.
One day of bathing every fifth day, today is a day off both inside and outside the country.
Xining called the queen to visit the garden together.
Stand by the waterside pavilion and feed the fish with fish food. There are koi fish inside, vying for the first place.
The queen was waiting nearby with a bowl of fish food, and couldn't help but said: "I have never seen your majesty feeding fish. Your majesty is really interested."
In the past, the owner was too lazy to feed the fish, and had no time to hang out with the beautiful men, drink wine, and watch those "gorgeous" dances...it was really extravagant.
He never worried about government affairs or the palace. The only worry is that being pregnant will affect her ability to continue enjoying herself. For this reason, those nuns in the palace who calculate the "auspicious time" for pregnancy will instead remind the body owner of the days when it is easier to conceive, so that the body owner can be on guard.
But this is fine, the body owner is only eighteen years old this year, so getting pregnant and having a baby too early is not a good thing. Because I was playful, I didn’t give birth to a child, and I missed the mark!
Xining smiled, sprinkled a handful of fish food, and said meaningfully: "Look at these fish, one by one they are vying to open their mouths, trying their best to eat the most. If you don't fight accordingly, You will be overwhelmed. If you can't eat, your body will become weak, and it will be even more difficult to fight for it in the future."
At this time, a big fish came up. It was not a koi carp, but a herring weighing more than 40 kilograms. It was the largest one. He knocked down many small fish at once, sucked almost all of the fish food he had just dropped into his open mouth, and then swung his tail and left.
Xining pointed with a smile: "Look, look at that big fish! If you fight it out halfway, as long as you are strong enough, you can get a lot without any effort."
Turning to look at the queen: "I allow you to be a big fish. Since you are a big fish, don't hide. When it's time to fight, you have to fight."
The Queen nodded, and then smiled: "Your Majesty, even if you feed a fish, you can still express some opinions. Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. I have read all my previous books in vain. If you want to know more about harmony, Your Majesty, let’s chat.”
Xining turned around with a smile, walked to the chair next to him and sat down.
A round table was placed next to it, with two chairs facing each other across the table. The queen sat on another chair and began to pour tea slowly.
The temperament is very good and pleasing to the eye.
In fact, the queen is quite good, but the body master really doesn't know people, and only likes those coquettish people who dress like peacocks.
