Shun'an Palace——
Huang Yanyu took a pen and wrote on the account book, with an impatient light in his eyes.
"What are you doing standing still?"
Shuxiang slapped her in the face: "These are the congratulatory gifts given to the empress by various palaces in previous years. Please be more careful. The empress will also give gifts in return. Don't remember it wrong."
Huang Yanyu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "You mean... these things are all given by the ladies in the harem?"
"yes!"
Shuxiang laughed and said: "Don't act like you have never seen the world. Our empress is a good sister of the empress. There are many gifts from Kunning Palace alone! Don't be lazy and write them down quickly."
"I see."
Huang Yanyu recorded everything in the new ledger according to the classification.
When Concubine Liang was promoted, Kunning Palace sent two pieces of the best Ganoderma lucidum.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
The good concubine cried for too long during the day, and was surprised and happy. Some wind blew on the wall, and she started to cough a little in the evening.
Because the eldest princess was getting married today, the emperor thought that she might miss his daughter very much, so he came to Shun'an Palace to sit with her.
"What happened to the good concubine?"
As soon as the emperor entered the door, he heard Liang Fei coughing violently. The fragrance of books was flowing along her back. When he saw the emperor coming, he quickly knelt on the ground.
The good concubine stood up and wanted to salute, but the emperor held her shoulders down: "No need to be more polite. Wasn't she fine this morning? Why are you coughing so hard now?"
Concubine Liang felt like she was about to cough up her lungs. Shuxiang quickly helped to explain: "When I go back to the emperor, the empress did not sleep all night last night. She was worried about the eldest princess's marriage. She always got up at night to count the dowry. She was afraid that this would be missing. That one, I got out of bed without wearing shoes several times, I guess I caught the cold at that time."
Today, before dawn, the empress went to the embroidery house of the eldest princess again and watched Grandma Xi combing her hair, cleansing her face, applying makeup, and saying auspicious words...
She was too tight.
So when the eldest princess got married and left the palace, her whole body suddenly relaxed, and the coldness entered her body.
"Your Majesty, the good concubine..."
Huang Yanyu was dressed in a beautiful light green palace dress, with a light application of powder on her face. She looked quite playful and cute: "The cook in the small kitchen heard that the empress was infected with wind and cold, so she asked the slave to bring you the Ganoderma lucidum rewarded by the empress in the warehouse. I stewed chicken soup, which is said to have the effect of relieving coughs and asthma, replenishing qi and calming the nerves."
Her voice is also very sweet and soft, with the vigor and vitality of a girl.
If this were the case in the past, the emperor thought the maid was pretty and lovely, so he favored her and would give her a status the next day.
But not now.
He has Yue'er.
The emperor's handsome face showed an appraising look. Concubine Liang looked at the emperor and then at Huang Yanyu, and winked at Shuxiang.
Shuxiang stepped forward and took the chicken soup: "You have nothing to do here, go down!"
Huang Yanyu still refused to give up, looking at the emperor with a pair of charming eyes shyly and timidly. However, her charming eyes were thrown to the "blind man", and the emperor did not look at her at all.
Liang Fei was also a little hungry. She took a sip of the chicken soup and started to drink it. While drinking it, she asked tentatively: "Did the Emperor fall in love with that little palace maid just now?"
The emperor was so angry at her words. Is this definitely a test? This is so close to your face, open it up!
He just felt that the maid-in-waiting did not look like a maid-in-waiting. She was dressed up in a flashy way and was almost as good as a good concubine, which was against the rules.
"I think she looks familiar to me. She seems to be the person you want from the draft that day. Are you looking for someone from the Queen?"
Without a clear explanation, this big talker still doesn't know how to add fuel to the fire and make random guesses in front of Yue'er.
"The Emperor actually remembers her?" Concubine Liang looked at her in astonishment: "It's the Queen's cousin who turned eighteen corners. I see how smart she is, so I want to be a female official."
emperor……
He remembered this palace maid because she said she was Yue'er's cousin, okay?
Why does Concubine Liang look like he wants to betray Yue'er right away?
No...is she sick?
"Where are you so smart? Why didn't I see it?"
The disgust on the emperor's face was undisguised: "I don't like the devilish ones. If they are girls from the Jiang family, send them out of the palace as soon as possible. If there is a shortage of female officials in your palace, just ask the queen for a few."
Yue'er is only eighteen or nineteen years old, which is the prime time for her appearance. Where do those women who want to climb the dragon's bed get the confidence to think that he can abandon Yue'er to favor them?
In terms of beauty, temperament, talent, character, and methods to please him, in what way are they better than Yue'er?
Why did he let go of the best Yue'er and pamper them who were not as good as Yue'er?
If you want to win favor, at least you must be better in appearance than Yue'er and not as good as Yue'er in any way. If you have to be tougher than Yue'er, that's overestimating one's abilities.
After Liang Fei heard what he said, she felt half relieved and lowered her head to take a sip of the soup.
The emperor felt that his head was squeezed by the door, so he thought that the good concubine would not think about food and tea because she was married to a daughter.
She ate so deliciously that she didn't even think of sharing it with him, or asking him if he had had dinner.
The good concubine has changed, she was not like this before.
Or has he not been in the harem for a long time, so he remembered it wrong? Has Liang Fei always been ignoring him?
"ah!"
"misty rain!"
"misty rain?"
There were horrified screams outside the house, and Wang Dequan walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, good concubine, a maid has been poisoned and vomited..."
"hiss……"
Liang Fei clutched her chest and felt a strong sinking feeling in her abdomen. The pain made her take a breath: "Pfft——"
A mouthful of black blood spat out from Liang Fei's mouth. She opened her eyes wide and said "Wow" before spitting out another large mouthful of blood.
"Empress! Empress, what's wrong with you?"
Shuxiang screamed in fright and immediately went to help Liang Fei, who fell down beside the bed.
Liang Fei’s facial features wrinkled together in pain: “It’s so... it hurts... my stomach hurts so much!”
At this time, Huang Yanyu was also helped in, with black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth: "Empress... Empress... Ganoderma lucidum... Ganoderma lucidum is poisonous... don't... don't eat it... vomit..."
She spoke too late. The delicious bowl of Ganoderma lucidum chicken soup had already been completely eaten by Liang Fei.
"The good concubine was poisoned?"
"I heard that I was poisoned after eating Ganoderma lucidum given by the Queen."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I really can't tell. On the surface, the Queen seems to have such a good relationship with Liangfei, but I didn't expect that secretly she still wants her life."
"Are you jealous that the emperor went to Shun'an Palace today? After all, the emperor has only doted on the empress for a long time. She will definitely not be able to accept the sudden visit of Liangfei."
So you want to poison the good concubine to death?
This is too overbearing.
When Jiang Xinyue rushed to Shun'an Palace, Liang Feihe had already fallen into a coma. Huang Yanyu was still conscious because he had taken in less toxins, but he had just taken the medicine to induce vomiting. He vomited until he was dizzy and was very weak.
"How is the good concubine?"
Shuxiang knelt down and wiped her tears: "Back to the Queen, the imperial doctor said that my wife has eaten too much. I'm afraid...I'm afraid..."
