Seeing that Su Mengyan not only did not dislike it but liked it very much, Mrs. Lu also smiled. After all, it was something she liked, and she had raised it until now, and she didn't know how much effort she had put into it.
Now that I have won the favor of the Queen, my efforts have not been in vain.
Meanwhile, Biyun took the bonsai from Su Mengyan and said, "I will arrange it in this place."
She always felt that this was a little strange, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she could only take the flowers from Su Mengyan's hands.
Su Mengyan did not object and obediently gave the flowers to Biyun. After all, Mrs. Lu was still here, and it would not look good for her to hold a pot of flowers by herself.
After Madam Lu left, Biyun's expression changed: "Empress, there's something wrong with that flower."
What? Biyun's words made Su Mengyan's heart suddenly rise: "What's the problem?"
"There's musk in it."
Musk? Musk can cause abortions. Su Mengyan's face turned grim. She didn't know if Madam Lu knew about the musk, or if she had put it there on purpose.
But Su Mengyan couldn't understand why Madam Lu gave her a flower with musk scent. She and Madam Lu had no grudges in the past or present, so why did Madam Lu give her a flower with musk scent?
Suddenly Su Mengyan thought of Lu Xian. After all, Lu Xian was also a member of the harem. Her pregnancy had more or less hindered Lu Xian's affairs. Could it be because of this that Mrs. Lu did this?
Su Mengyan narrowed her eyes. Regardless of the truth of the matter, she would never let anyone hurt the baby in her belly.
"Put your things away, and go find Lu Xian." Maybe she should ask Lu Xian in person what was going on?
At this time, Lu Xian was chatting with Xu Chuchu, who was the daughter of the Minister of Rites and had the title Changzai.
When Biyun came in, the two were talking and laughing. Biyun bowed to them and said directly, "Please ask Lu to promise to take out all the bonsai in his palace."
This action surprised the two of them, and Xu Chuchu was even a little bit unacceptable. After all, they were both masters, and this was just a palace maid. How could she be so direct and ask a master like her to do anything?
"Hehe, where did this ignorant girl come from? She doesn't even greet her master when she sees him, and she still dares to give him orders? Which palace are you from?" Xu Chuchu didn't know who Biyun was, so she mocked her mercilessly.
Biyun didn't say much to her. She had important things to do, and Xu Chuchu was just an unimportant person.
"Lu Diancheng, did you hear what I said just now? If not, I don't mind repeating it again." Looking at Lu Xian, there was no expression on Biyun's face.
Lu Xian has already recognized Biyun's identity and knows that she is someone close to the Queen, but she doesn't understand why the people around the Queen treat her in this way.
Being ignored, Xu Chuchu felt her face flush. A little maid actually dared to look down on her.
"You are so arrogant and ignorant of etiquette. What qualifications do you have to give way and agree to move all the bonsai in the palace? If your master has not taught you well, I don't mind teaching you on your master's behalf." She really couldn't accept that a palace maid dared to ignore her.
However, this time, Biyun did not ignore her cold gaze at Xu Chuchu. Biyun took out the transfer order given by Situ Yao and said, "Can you see clearly, Concubine Xu? This is the transfer order from the Emperor."
This sentence left Xu Chuchu speechless, and her face turned alarmingly red.
How could she know that such a little palace maid actually had the emperor's transfer order in her hand? If she knew, she would not have embarrassed herself like this.
"In that case, go in and check!" Although Lu Xian didn't know why they had to check the bonsai in her palace, she felt that she had done nothing wrong and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, so she let them go ahead and check.
She never thought that during the investigation, she would find a bonsai with musk in her room.
"Lu agreed, will you come with us?" Biyun said to Lu Xian as she looked at the musk bonsai she had found.
How could this happen? Lu Xian was also confused, but since things had come to this point, she could only go with them to the Queen Mother to explain everything clearly.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed musk in it." The imperial physician reported after checking all the bonsai.
He also didn't expect that someone would tamper with so many bonsai.
After hearing this, Lu Xian couldn't believe it. How could it be possible? These bonsai trees were obviously hers, but she didn't put any musk in them at all!
"Lu Dào, do you have anything to say?" Su Mengyan turned her head and stared at Lu Xian.
"No, Your Majesty, I don't know what happened. I didn't put musk in the bonsai." Lu Xian thought that there must be a misunderstanding. It was clearly not something she did, so why was the result like this?
Looking at Lu Xian's face, she didn't seem to be lying, which made Su Mengyan think that either Lu Xian's acting was too good, making her feel that there was someone else behind the scenes. Or, she really knew nothing and was being used by someone.
"You should go back and reflect on your mistakes first. I will make a conclusion after I have thoroughly investigated the matter." Since we don't know the truth of the matter yet, we should not jump to conclusions too early.
From the moment Su Mengyan became pregnant, she knew that if her pregnancy was made public, she would definitely be the target of public criticism.
There were many concubines and wives in the harem who didn't want her to have children. As the queen, the child she gave birth to was very likely to be the crown prince. And which woman was willing to watch her son monopolize the position of crown prince?
Even if those women had just entered the palace not long ago, they probably wouldn't want to see me give birth to a child.
However, she did not expect that someone would attack her as soon as her pregnancy was made public.
This action is a bit too fast.
When Situ Yao learned about this, he immediately dropped everything he was doing and rushed to Su Mengyan.
"How are you? Are you okay?" He was only happy about Su Mengyan's pregnancy, but didn't think about whether anyone would harm her, so he was quite surprised by this incident.
Looking at Situ Yao, Su Mengyan had an idea.
"Nothing, it's just that people come here so often that I can't get enough rest." Su Mengyan didn't like people coming to disturb her all the time.
Situ Yao's arrival and concern made Su Mengyan think of a way to use Situ Yao's mouth to order those people not to bother her anymore.
That's why she said it on purpose. After hearing this, Situ Yao was indeed very distressed and sighed: "Alas, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Yan'er, don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."
