Chapter 278 I always feel like they are hiding something from me

When talking about the Empress Dowager's difficult delivery, the faces of several concubines in the palace varied.

Lu Xinran glanced at several people and saw that one of them had a pale face and his body began to tremble, so she directly clicked on that person's booklet.

It's a pity that the secrets of the harem she saw could not be written into a book and spread out, otherwise she would be able to make a fortune with these secrets.

[Well, the Empress Dowager was indeed poisoned by someone, but the drug powder was slowly put into her food, and it took a whole month.]

[Originally, that person wanted her to have an abortion, or even if she didn’t have one, she wanted the fetus to die in her womb, but…]

She wanted to sigh that the emperor was lucky enough not to be killed in this situation, but then she remembered that her wild thoughts while eating melons would be heard by others, so she quickly suppressed all these sighs.

She calmed down and continued to look through the pages.

[The Empress Dowager was a very lucky person. The palace maid who was bribed to give her the drug was afraid that something bad would happen and she would die, so she only gave her less than half the amount of drug each time.]

[Originally, the accident should have occurred within half a month, but due to insufficient dosage of the medicine, it was delayed for a month.]

[However, this medicine is a secret medicine, and the person who administers it does not know what the effect is, so until now the other party has only regarded this matter as the medicine is not as effective as the legend says.]

The Queen Mother's face was already somewhat livid. How could she be so blessed? She was clearly so unlucky that she couldn't be any more unlucky!

If it weren't for Su Hongyu, she would have died on the day of giving birth.

While flipping through the booklet, Lu Xinran secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager's expression. Seeing that her face became increasingly ugly, she flipped through the booklet a little faster.

[Unlike the previous concubines, that person had compatriots in the Imperial Medical Office who could conspire and help. Su Hongyu immediately ordered someone to invite the Imperial Doctor after the Empress Dowager launched the attack. 】

[Because the abortion drug was not used often, and the abortion-preserving drug was also used, the imperial physician did not find anything abnormal. He just thought that the labor-inducing drug was used by mistake. Although it was dangerous, the emperor was born smoothly.]

[In the following month, with Su Hongyu's constant care, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Emperor developed any serious illness, and neither of them was affected too much by the incident.]

She had seen everything that happened here, but she never said who had given the drug.

But the empress dowager was experienced and knew who had drugged her. One of the people in front of her was already shaking so much that he was about to collapse on the ground.

She glanced at it coldly, but did not rush to make any decision.

She had to wait until Lu Xinran and the others left before she could slowly review what happened.

This is to prevent that girl from noticing anything unusual and then not being able to use her system to look up old events in the future.

The queen just lowered her head and looked at the handkerchief in her hand. Only when her thoughts finally came to an end did she raise her hand to pick up the tea bowl beside her and take a sip leisurely.

"Mother, you invited the concubines here because you have some old matters to discuss. I will not bother you any more."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and glanced at Lu Xinran and the others. They immediately understood what she meant and stood up to say goodbye to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's mind was on the concubines at the moment. Seeing that the Queen was interested and wanted to leave, she smiled and waved her hand to signal them to leave quickly.

After leaving Yongshou Palace, Lu Xinran followed the empress and subconsciously turned around to glance at the palace wall.

The Queen Mother seems to have changed a lot during this period.

As expected, those who could escape from the fighting in the harem must be people of extraordinary character and means.

If you really mistake the Queen Mother for a friendly old person, you will be making yourself uncomfortable.

"You can have lunch in the palace before leaving. It's a rare opportunity for you to enter the palace, so please talk to me."

The queen's voice fell faintly into the ears of a few people, and Zhang Shuier felt even more strange.

Why...I always feel like they are hiding something from me!

In the Wenhua Palace, Eunuch Fu, who received the news, quickly walked into the palace and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about how Lu Xinran had relieved the empress dowager's worries last time when he entered the palace. This time he went to the empress dowager's palace again and met several concubines. He was afraid that some old stories would be dug up again.

He tapped his fingertips on the table a few times and said, "Get ready, let's go to Changchun Palace."

The Empress has been keeping him guessing lately, so he might as well take this opportunity to go to Changchun Palace to sound out the truth.

At this moment, Lu Xinran just wanted to leave the palace, and then asked someone to send a message to Song Junyan and go straight to the palace.

The system has already sorted out Concubine Hua's booklet for her, and also loaded the booklets of Concubine Lan and the Queen Mother. Now she just wants to eat the melon.

Seeing that she was distracted, the queen just smiled and signaled the palace maid to pour them tea.

"This is the coarse tea I brought back from Yucheng Pass. Try it."

Lu Xinran had drunk the coarse tea from the northwest there before, so she was not uncomfortable at all. She had just flipped through a booklet in the Yongshou Palace. She felt a little tired at the moment, so she finished the tea in one gulp.

Lu Xinlan stayed in Yuchengguan longer, and she even missed the taste of the tea when she tasted it.

However, Zhang Shui'er and Tang Wanrou only picked up the tea bowls, and when they smelled the somewhat rough odor, their brows wrinkled subconsciously.

"Aunt, you're back now, why are you still drinking this?"

Zhang Shui'er took just a sip and immediately put down the tea bowl. The rough taste was really too much for her to swallow.

Tang Wanrou beside her also restrained her expression. She took a sip of tea and put the bowl down silently.

The queen looked at the expressions of the two of them and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"When we were still in the border town and had not returned to the capital, whether it was me or your grandparents, the old lady and others, our daily food and daily necessities were no different from those of the people at the border.

"These coarse teas are also used to. I didn't expect that after just a few years back in Beijing, you no longer need them."

These words really had some warning meaning. Zhang Shui'er's heart tightened and she knew almost instantly where she went wrong.

Tang Wanrou's expression also changed. If Zhang Shuier could sense the abnormality, how could she not see it?

She had noticed that the Queen treated the Lu sisters very differently since she entered the palace today. Now she was using tea to teaade them. She had already had some guesses in her mind, but she was so shocked that she subconsciously felt it was absurd.

Lu Xinran smiled as if she was unaware of the atmosphere in the palace, and raised her hand to call for the palace servant to refill her cup of tea.

"Zhang Er, you can't do this. The weather at the border is bitter and cold, and this kind of tea is rare. If you can't even get used to this, you're probably going to be even more unbearable with other bitter things."

If you can't endure hardship, how can you live there?

Zhang Shuier's face turned even paler. "I, I can bear it. My aunt can bear it, so I can bear it too."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have made up her mind. She picked up the tea bowl beside her and drank it all in one gulp.

It was just that the taste was so bitter that she subconsciously wanted to vomit it, but she endured it.
