Chapter 195 Sending Fragrance
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty can choose any other queen instead of the other? Why did he have to choose the one from Fengyi Palace? She has no family background, no beauty, and she's already old."
In the Cining Palace, Concubine Luo was full of complaints.
"Because of a few rumors, he even demoted her to a noble concubine. This is too much favor."
The Queen Mother put the Buddhist beads she was twirling on her wrist and said calmly, "You want to instigate me to stop him from becoming Queen?"
Luo Zhaoyi's face froze slightly.
"Does the Empress Dowager agree to this?"
The Queen Mother asked in return, "Do you think he will change his mind if I disagree? If I could influence his thinking, you would be the one living in Fengyi Palace right now."
Luo Zhaoyi: “…”
She pouted and sat beside the Queen Mother, hugging her arm and saying, "But it's not good to let His Majesty do whatever he wants, right? Who knows what else His Majesty will do for her..."
The Queen Mother interrupted her.
"Do you know who the most dangerous person in the palace is right now?"
Luo Zhaoyi was stunned.
"... Consort Wu?"
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at her.
"It's you."
Luo Zhaoyi: “!?”
Is that the opposite?
She is protected by her aunt, the Empress Dowager, and any common-sense concubine in the harem would not go against her.
How did he become the most dangerous person?
The Queen Mother looked at her visibly bulging belly and said expressionlessly, "She has no children and probably won't be able to have any. If Your Majesty is willing, it's very likely that she will adopt one."
Luo Zhaoyi was astonished: "Even if they wanted to adopt a child, they would have adopted a child born to a concubine of lower rank. How could it be..."
She suddenly got stuck.
If she was alive and well, I would naturally not adopt her child.
But what if she died?
Will the Empress Dowager and the Luo family object to the child being adopted by her?
Won't.
As long as the Luo family bloodline can inherit the throne, they can put everything aside, including her life and the truth of her death.
"aunt."
She hugged the Queen Mother's arm tightly.
"I don't want to die, please help me."
The Queen Mother patted her shoulder and said, "Then don't act rashly. Walk more, worry less, and take good care of your body. Otherwise, you won't even have the strength to give birth during labor, and I won't be able to save you."
Luo Zhaoyi nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will walk back to the palace later and not take the sedan chair."
The Queen Mother: “…”
"There's no need to go too far. It's been raining a lot lately, and the roads are slippery and covered with moss. It's best for you to avoid walking in the palace corridors and just walk around your own palace more."
Luo Zhaoyi: (╥﹏╥)
Life is so difficult.
Feng Qingsui informed her master that she had been conferred the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine, and asked her to be patient for the time being. She would rescue her from the palace when she found a way.
The master replied, "I have traveled for many years and am growing weary. Knowing that my remaining time is short, I wish to remain in the harem and compile my life's medical experience and case histories into a book, passing it on to the world as a comfort."
After she finished reading the letter, her face darkened slightly.
It is probably true that the master wants to write a book, but it is definitely false that he wants to live in the harem.
I said this just to reassure her and not to put her in danger by saving her.
But how could she be at peace?
Not only are there many concubines in the harem who are eyeing her covetously, but there is also the emperor, the supreme ruler.
The entire Fengyi Palace is occupied by the emperor's people. If he forces the master to sleep with him, how can the master escape?
After thinking for a moment, she took out the recipe for the Jueqingxiang medicine she had previously prepared for the former prince and ordered Wuhua to go out and buy spices and herbs.
After preparing all the materials and preparing the medicinal incense, she first sent a message to her master, asking her if she could send away the palace maids and leave the courtyard alone.
"Can."
The master replied.
She then gave the sachet of heartless incense and a freshly killed poisonous snake to Peregrine Falcon.
Pointing to the gray pigeon that carried the message, he said to it, "Follow it to the palace. When it reaches its destination, throw the sachet and the poisonous snake down."
The peregrine falcon, which had accurately delivered many "packages", made a "ga" sound.
——The mission must be accomplished.
Feng Qingsui stroked its fur and said, "Remember to fly higher. If you fly too low, you will be shot by the Imperial Guards."
"quack!"
——I will stay here.
After all, the peregrine falcon is too conspicuous and not as slender and small as the pigeon, so it is not easy to be noticed. Feng Qingsui specially chose to release the pigeons and peregrine falcons before the storm and when it was dark.
After receiving the letter, Diwu Qingqing dismissed the palace servants and strolled alone in the courtyard of Fengyi Palace.
When the wind blew, a gray pigeon swooped down from the sky and landed on the railing.
Then a long shadow and a small object fell from the sky and landed on the floor tiles in front of her.
She ignored the snake, bent down to pick up the sachet, and stuffed it into her arms.
He then quickly untied the letter box tied to the pigeon's leg and patted the pigeon's wings, signaling it to leave.
The pigeon disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Then she picked up a pot of flowers in the courtyard, half-knelt on the ground, and hit the poisonous snake several times.
A eunuch hurried into the courtyard and said, "Your Majesty, a guard just noticed something fell from the sky into Fengyi Palace. Has it..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the colorful and extremely poisonous snake in front of Diwu Qingqing.
His face suddenly changed.
The fifth one said softly, "A snake fell down and I just killed it."
That’s too much!
The eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please let me handle this. Please stand back."
But be sure not to get bitten by a poisonous snake.
Otherwise, even if he had ten heads, they wouldn't be enough to chop off.
The fifth one gently put down the flower pot and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help."
She didn't care how the eunuch dealt with the poisonous snake, how he informed the emperor, or how the emperor strengthened the guards of Fengyi Palace and thoroughly investigated the harem.
He just locked himself in the bedroom and checked the letters and spices that Feng Qingsui had left.
When she learned that this was a poisonous incense that could "permanently cure" men, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"This kid has used all his R&D talent for crooked ways."
She destroyed the letter and hid the spices in the compartment of her medicine box.
Just as I hid it, the Shangfu Bureau sent over the phoenix clothes.
"Your Majesty, the phoenix dress is ready. Please try it on."
"good."
Seven days later, the ceremony of crowning the queen will take place.
Feng Qingsui and Qi put on imperial robes, dressed up in their best clothes, and went into the palace to pay homage to the empress.
Looking at her master, who had adjusted the position and shape of his eyebrows and applied a completely different kind of cold makeup from the past, and looked both dignified and aloof, she sighed slightly.
The master looks so stunning even without changing her beautiful single eyelids. How much more beautiful she would be without changing them.
Dog Emperor.
She glanced coldly at the emperor on the throne.
Ji Changqing glanced at the lady outside casually, and saw the familiar look of a fishmonger killing fish in her eyes, and his right eyelid twitched.
Let’s toast His Majesty a few more drinks at the palace banquet later.
He thought to himself.
But there are thirty days in a month and twelve months in a year. If he gets Your Majesty drunk today, what will happen tomorrow?
How can we solve this problem once and for all?
In a flash, he suddenly remembered that the little fox had gone to the East Palace to treat the Crown Princess twice, and the Crown Prince became ill. His expression froze for a moment.
Could it be that she is... also planning to drug His Majesty?
