The queen has done so many bad things before, does she really think she has cleaned them all up?
If you want others not to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself.
"Sister, have you thought of a way?" Concubine De's anxious expression relaxed instantly after seeing Xie Ziyue's expression.
She was afraid that Xie Ziyue didn't think of a way and the queen would be favored.
The queen had been drinking traditional Chinese medicine for so long in order to get pregnant. The prescription given to her at home must be effective. Concubine De was really worried that she would be pregnant.
"Before, I thought that if I went out of the palace less, I would avoid being framed. I didn't expect the queen and others to frame me like that." When Xie Ziyue said this, she glanced at Concubine De with a smile:
"But I still need your help, sister."
"Sister, it's okay to say so." Concubine De smiled.
The two discussed in the palace for a long time before Concubine De left.
Compared to how hurried she was when she arrived, she looked much more relaxed when she left.
But instead of going back to her palace, she went straight to the imperial garden.
The Star-Chasing Building that the Queen built to please the Queen Mother was now closed due to the incident involving Xie Ziyue and Concubine De.
There were no servants guarding the area.
De Fei walked around and, as Xie Ziyue said, she smelled a pungent stench.
She stepped forward carefully. The location where the stench came from happened to be a dense bush, and next to the grass was an abandoned well.
This place is really too remote. Normally, let alone the master, even the slaves would not come here.
Maybe those people thought of this, so they threw things here.
"Go, go and call someone!"
Concubine De ordered her personal maid Jingqiu who was following her. Jingqiu also knew the plan of her master and the imperial concubine. She nodded to show that she understood and hurriedly called for someone.
Jingqiu stood in the imperial garden and shouted, quickly attracting many slaves near the imperial garden.
Among them, there happened to be a clever little eunuch who had met her with his master. Knowing that she was the dowry maid of Empress De, he went up to please her and asked:
"Sister Jingqiu, why are you here? What happened?"
"How dare you say that!" Jingqiu covered her nose with a handkerchief:
"How do you people work in the Royal Garden? Our queen said she wanted to come to the Royal Garden, but she smelled a foul smell when she got here! You all followed and cleaned up! Otherwise, if it's too late, the queen will blame you, and you will all suffer. !”
These palace maids and eunuchs originally only saw her here and thought that Concubine De was not there.
Now when he heard that Concubine De was also there, he immediately didn't dare to delay and went in with Tao Xiang.
The closer they got, the more unpleasant the smell became. They couldn't help but cover their noses and their eyes were burning.
What smells so strong?
The clever little eunuch at the beginning was now running wild in his mind. Many masters in the palace punished the disobedient slaves, and some of them were beaten to death and thrown into the corner.
Could it be that a dead person was thrown here?
When he thought of this possibility, his eyes suddenly widened.
If this was such an unlucky thing to be caught by Empress Dowager De, they still don't know how they would be held accountable.
For a moment, he walked faster under his feet, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up.
Following into the forest, the eunuchs and maids saw Concubine De standing in front of the grass. Before they could bow and bow, Concubine De waved her hands unbearably:
"What do you still care about these false gifts? Why don't you come and take out this dirty thing!"
It was a coincidence that there was an extremely beautiful orchid growing in the grass. Although it was an ordinary variety, its color was delicate.
Concubine De has always loved orchids, and she planted many of them in the palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs who didn't know about it naturally didn't know, but the clever little eunuch guessed that she might like this orchid.
So when he went to take out the foul-smelling thing, he deliberately took care not to step on the orchid.
However, when he saw the mass of things that exuded a strong stench, he was dumbfounded.
I saw a black snake curled up in a mass of rotten things that could not be identified. The black snake seemed to have not been dead for a long time, but the skin and flesh on its body had already rotted a lot.
You can vaguely see the patterns on its body, and the eunuchs and maids all have a familiar feeling.
To say that there are snakes in the imperial garden is actually not a big deal.
After all, it would be weird if there were really nothing here surrounded by flowers and plants.
But this snake is no simple snake! This is a black snake!
It was a black snake that bit the imperial concubine before. The black snake took advantage of the crowd and escaped. Later, Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty ordered the snake to be caught.
After all, it has attacked people, and letting it stay in the imperial garden would be a disaster.
Therefore, the witnesses of the day dictated the story and asked the painter to draw the pattern.
For a long time after that, the eunuchs and maids on duty in the imperial garden were looking for it.
It's a pity that it was hidden somewhere and has never been found.
Now it has died here inexplicably, and the location is very coincidental, not far from the bougainvillea.
The palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other in confusion. If they had discovered the snake, they would only have to report it to the father-in-law in charge of the imperial garden.
But now there is one more Concubine De among the people discovered. Concubine De is their master, so this matter must be arranged by Concubine De.
"Isn't this the black snake that bit the imperial concubine's sister that day?" Concubine De looked at her in surprise, with disgust in her eyes:
"What's that wrapped around it? It's really disgusting."
"Go back to your Majesty," Jingqiu said hesitantly, "This snake looks like it was trapped."
"Trapping?" Concubine De looked at it in confusion: "Can this disgusting thing trap a snake?"
The other palace maids and eunuchs were also confused and looked at Jingqiu, wanting to hear her explanation.
"In my hometown, if a snake catcher wants to lure a snake out of its hole, he will use a bloody object to trap it. This thing seems to be deliberately lured out... but I can't confirm it."
As soon as these words came out, the palace maids and eunuchs all had subtle expressions.
Who didn't think it was strange for a snake to bite the imperial concubine that day?
After listening to Jingqiu's explanation, everyone felt as if they had heard the secrets of the royal family.
"Go, Dr. Xuan is here!" Out of sight of the palace maids and eunuchs, Concubine De glanced at Jingqiu with satisfaction.
She pointed at the little eunuch who stood at the front and looked very smart at first sight: "Let the imperial doctor come and see what's going on."
"Yes!" The little eunuch was extremely happy. Concubine De summoned him among so many people, which showed that she noticed him.
He ran very fast on his feet and was very dedicated in his work. He even went to the Imperial Hospital to hire a doctor who was knowledgeable in treating animals.
Many people in the palace have pets. Even the current Queen Mother keeps a white dog, so the Imperial Hospital also has doctors who can treat livestock.
