Concubine De comforted herself in this way and couldn't help but ridiculed: "Huangfu repaired his rituals because the cat hugged by the little palace maid in Ganlu Palace stirred up the fetus. What other secrets could there be?"
"There's no point in delaying, Princess Ten!"
Concubine De said to Concubine Shu: "I thought that even if Huangfu Xiuyi gave birth to a child successfully, the little palace maid who bumped into her in Ganlu Palace would not be able to get away with it."
"Huangfu Xiuyi is not out of danger yet. Concubine De is so sinister. What kind of sarcastic words are she talking about?"
Concubine Xian rudely criticized her: "The emperor has agreed to the tenth princess. We will pursue this matter after Huangfu Xiuyi successfully gives birth. Why, is Concubine De so impatient to make the decision for the emperor?"
"Concubine De, as the empress of the Penglai Palace, is so unwilling to see Huangfu Xiu Xiu?"
Concubine De was so stunned by Concubine Xian that she was speechless!
She said angrily: "Concubine Shu..."
Concubine Shu had a headache, and she felt that the little thing in Ganlu Hall was really overpowering her.
She is the biggest variable in the harem!
As long as she is involved, things will never develop in the direction he wants.
It was annoying to think that she had replaced the Queen and temporarily took charge of the Sixth Palace, but was restrained by a half-year-old child!
Concubine De buzzed in her ear, and Concubine Shu said impatiently: "Please tell me a few words. According to the emperor's words, we will wait for the news from Huangfu Xiuyi first."
Wu Chongyuan glanced worriedly at Concubine Shu, who was rubbing her forehead, and added just the right words: "Yes, I also thought that everything was as the emperor said."
Seeing Wu Chongyuan and Shu Fei exchange a look, De Fei felt depressed for a while, wondering when did Shu Fei and Wu Chongyuan form an alliance?
At this moment, they should obviously be on the same front as him, but why are they helping Concubine Xian instead?
When Concubine De was feeling depressed and miserable, a loud cry of a baby came from the flowers surrounded by the curtain.
After a while, Li Sixu, who looked like she had been soaked in water, was finally supported by Huangfu Xiuyi's personal maid and appeared in front of everyone.
She was full of energy and joy and reported the good news to Xuanzong: "Congratulations to the emperor, Empress Xiuyi has successfully given birth to a daughter. Mother and daughter are safe. With the little princess, my son is no longer a little princess."
Hearing the loud cry, Xuanzong's hanging heart was relieved.
When he heard Li Sixu say that Huangfu Deyi gave birth to a princess, he was not disappointed. After all, there were already enough princes in the palace. Huangfu Xiuyi could give birth smoothly and mother and daughter were safe. For him, it was considered lost and recovered. .
Xuanzong looked overjoyed, and looked at his tenth princess with relief and complicated eyes. Li Sixu opened her palms, and lying on her palms was a sachet.
Xuanzong was a little confused and looked at her questioningly.
Ignoring Concubine De's already pale face, Li Sixu reported: "I have said before that there is another hidden reason why Empress Xiuyi disturbed her fetus, and this hidden reason is the sachet in my hand."
"This sachet was taken from Empress Xiuyi by my son."
Li Sixu explained: "The palace maid Gui'er beside her can testify."
Guier, who was grateful to Li Sixu for saving her mother-in-law from the fire and water, and followed her to appear in front of Xuanzong, nodded hurriedly and resolutely, meaning that what the little princess said was true.
Next, Li Sixu continued: "The medicinal materials in this sachet are mixed with a large amount of Nepeta. Nepeta has a pungent and fragrant aroma. When used as medicine, it has the effects of dispelling wind, sweating, antipyretic, rash, and hemostasis. But it has Similarly, the smell of Nepeta is very attractive to cats, and it can also stimulate and make cats excited. Therefore, I hugged the cat from a distance and bumped into the Xiuyi Empress who was admiring the flowers, and smelled the Nepeta on Xiuyi Empress. The cat will pounce on Empress Xiuyi because of the smell."
"Guier, who has been accompanying Empress Xiuyi, can testify to this."
"Yes, the tenth princess is right. At that time, the young palace maid of Ganlu Palace, Yaoyuan, bumped into my Empress Xiuyi while she was admiring flowers. She was afraid of bumping into her, so she took a step away, but I don't know what happened to the cat in her hand. , suddenly went crazy and broke away from Yaoyao, and jumped towards my mother-in-law, so I shocked my mother-in-law."
After Gui'er finished speaking, she quickly added: "The sachet worn by my wife was a gift from Concubine De."
The thing that Concubine De was most worried about finally came. Her face turned pale and she pretended to be calm and glanced at Aunt Zhang.
Nanny Zhang, who was standing next to her, hurriedly came out to explain: "Your Majesty, the sachet given by Concubine De was not only given to Huangfu Xiuyi, but also everyone in the Penglai Palace was given that sachet."
"Besides, the use of Nepeta as a spice has always been available in the palace. We are not the only ones in Penglai Pavilion who use Nepeta as a spice."
Aunt Zhang said with a eloquent tongue: "If the little palace maid from Ganlu Palace hadn't run around holding a cat, she wouldn't have disturbed Empress Xiuyi."
What Grandma Zhang meant was that the use of Nepeta sachets as sachets was an accident. It was because Yaoyao ran around with the cat and disturbed Huangfu Xiuyi.
"The nun next to Empress De Fei is right. There is indeed a precedent of using Nepeta sachets as sachets in the palace, but why do the clothes on Empress Xiu Yi also have a strong smell of Nepeta?"
Li Sixu looked at Xuanzong with a solemn expression: "Father, when I took the pulse of Empress Xiuyi, I smelled that her clothes also had a strong smell of Nepeta. Only clothes soaked in Nepeta water can emit such a strong smell. Otherwise, just relying on the Nepeta sachet will not cause the cat in Yaoyao's hand to break away and pounce on Empress Xiuyi."
Concubine De's face turned pale again, but she was still lucky because she had already ordered Aunt Zhang to clean up the head and tail.
When Xuanzong asked Eunuch Gao to send his mother-in-law to Huanyi Bureau to investigate, Concubine De forced herself to remain calm.
Li Sixu continued: "I still have something to say about why Yaoyao bumped into Empress Xiuyi."
"That is, Yaoyao has always been with Erchen, because the little eunuch next to the third brother is the brother Yaoyao recognized outside the palace, so Erchen accompanied Yaoyao to deliver Bai Suo today, so why did Yaoyao suddenly Are you scared to run away?"
Xuanzong didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned this?
The curious concubines were waiting for Li Sixu to continue. She glanced at Concubine De and said, "Because when Yaoyao was sending a hundred ropes to her brother, he suddenly jumped out and said that Yaoyao looked like his lost daughter. .”
"This is not the first time that Yuanyuan has been recognized as a relative. During the last banquet in Qujiang, the wife of the household minister Wang Fei also made a confession."
Li Sixu asked Concubine De in a leisurely manner: "Whether it is the Qujiang Banquet or today's Emperor Father's banquet with ministers, please remember that according to the rules, only officials of fifth rank and above and their family members can participate in palace affairs." banquet, then Sisi would like to ask Empress De Fei, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs and a sixth-rank official, how did he and his wife appear on the list of guests for the Qujiang Banquet and this Dragon Boat Festival banquet? "
Concubine De was stunned!
She did this in such a subtle way that no one would notice.
She, she could actually find clues from the clues?
