Chapter 506 Falling Into a Well

Good spirits, bad spirits.

Gu Jiu's worries were fulfilled, and there was indeed a problem with the food in the palace.

Early in the morning, she and Xiao Qin'er entered the palace together and came to the Cining Palace to greet them.

Empress Pei's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, her face was pale and pale, and she looked like she couldn't hold back. As if the sky was falling.

The imperial physicians came in and out, and were diagnosing and treating the Empress Dowager Xiao.

This morning, Emperor Wen De canceled the court meeting and stayed by the bedside of Empress Dowager Xiao, ordering the imperial physicians to treat them with all their might.

Xu Yousi quietly came to Gu Jiu's side.

Because Liu Zhao became the prince, the people around Gu Jiu also rose with the tide. Xu Yousi was promoted by Xiaohuangmen to be an insider. Although his rank was low, he was promoted to an official position.

Gu Jiu calmed down, avoided people, quietly went to a secluded place, and asked, "Did you find out?"

Before they entered the palace, they only knew that the Empress Dowager Xiao was seriously ill, and they knew nothing about the rest.

When they arrived at the Cining Palace, the atmosphere was solemn, and no one explained the cause and effect to them.

In desperation, the Eight Immortals can only cross the sea to show their magical powers and inquire about the news.

Xu Yousi nodded and whispered, "Last night, the Queen Mother ordered the imperial kitchen to set up a table of banquets. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother ate together and talked about homely things. When they ate, they were all fine. Use After dinner, in the middle of the night, the Empress Dowager suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, and the imperial doctor checked and said that she had eaten the wrong thing."

Gu Jiu frowned, "The Empress and Her Majesty are all right?"

Xu Yousi nodded, "Only the Empress Dowager has abdominal pain."

Gu Jiu looked in the direction of the dormitory, and after tossing it all night, Empress Dowager Xiao still had abdominal pain. In addition, she is old, if there are three long and two short, the consequences can't be imagined.

No wonder Queen Mother Pei looks like the sky is falling.

She ordered someone to arrange the banquet. When this matter was investigated, no matter whether she was innocent or not, she could not escape the responsibility.

The late emperor had only been dead for half a year. At this time, Mrs. Xiao had an accident again. It was really bad luck for a whole year.

Out of filial piety, Emperor Wende will also be held accountable. At that time, I don't know how many people will fall to the ground.

Fourth Highness Liu Yi walked into the Cining Palace with sweat and came to Queen Pei.

He squatted in front of Queen Pei,

"Empress mother, relax. The queen mother will definitely get better."

Empress Pei grabbed Liu Yi's hand as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, "The Queen Mother will be fine, right?"

Liu Yi nodded heavily, "It will definitely get better."

Xiao Qin'er also leaned in and comforted Queen Pei in a soft voice.

In fact, Xiao Qiner's position is a bit awkward. Just because her surname is Xiao, she shares the same surname as the Queen Mother Xiao.

Gu Jiu sighed.

Liu Zhao took an errand out of Beijing at the end of last month, whether it was good or bad.

At this time, Liu Zhao was not there. It seemed that he had escaped a storm, but he also lost some opportunities.

Gu Jiu asked Xu Yousi, "Have you got the menu for dinner last night?"

Xu Yousi nodded and whispered the name of the dish.

Most of the dishes are quite normal, list and self-cultivation.

There are only a few fresh river dishes, which are a bit heavy.

Could it be that the Empress Dowager Xiao is allergic to fresh water?

If Mrs. Xiao was really allergic to fresh water, it would be impossible for no one to know about it for so many years.

Empress Dowager Xiao herself must know what she can and cannot eat.

Even if Empress Dowager Xiao is confused, she doesn't know what to avoid. Are the palace servants around her all dead? Don't you know how to remind?

It seems that it should not be the abdominal pain caused by the fresh river. Maybe it's food.

Gu Jiu pondered the menu.

Concubine Shen Xian and Concubine Luo came to the Cining Palace together.

At the beginning of the year, Emperor Wende ascended the throne and was canonized as a concubine. At that time, the two concubine Shen Fangfei and Luo Fangfei were both concubines.

There are still two places left for the fourth concubine, and the nine concubines below, all of them are full of energy, and they all want to seal the concubine.

"Niangniang, is the Queen Mother okay with her old man?" As soon as Concubine Shen Xian came, she didn't think she was an outsider at all, and asked Empress Pei with her mouth open.

Empress Pei was panicking, and she ignored her when she had time to entertain Concubine Shen Xian.

Concubine Shen Xian didn't need anyone to greet her, so she found a place to sit down, "I heard that Empress did not sleep all night, no wonder her face is haggard and her eyes are red. Empress, you have to take care of your health. The Empress Dowager is sick, this will make you feel sick. It can't be an accident. If you fall ill, this harem will have no backbone."

Words are good words.

It's just that when these words came out of Shen Xianfei's mouth, they always felt a strange smell. The true feelings are mixed with secret gloating, and it is clear that it is not too big to watch the fun.

When Queen Pei heard this, she had to cheer up.

Her face sank, "I'm tired of worrying about the two of you, Ben Gong's body can hold it, so there's no need to worry."

Concubine Shen Xian clutched her chest, "My concubine was very flustered. Two days ago, my concubine came to greet the Queen Mother. At that time, the Queen Mother looked very good and full of anger. Why did she become seriously ill in a blink of an eye. Empress, here But for some reason, do you need help from the concubine and others?"

Queen Pei sneered to herself.

Empress Dowager Xiao's accident has long been spread throughout the harem.

At this moment, Concubine Shen Xian pretended to be stupid with her.

What's the matter, are you sure she can't get away this time?

Empress Pei said in a cold voice: "The Queen Mother has her own imperial doctor, so there is no need for the two of you to worry about it. There is no need for so many people here. You two should go back first. When there is news, this palace will send someone to tell me."

"Chen and concubine, let's guard, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Concubine Luo said in a low voice.

Concubine Shen Xian nodded again and again, "I'm really worried about the queen mother, what if the imperial doctor is not useful?"

"Don't talk nonsense. The empress dowager, her old man's auspicious person, has her own celestial appearance, and she will definitely be able to turn bad luck into good luck." Queen Pei scolded softly.

Concubine Shen Xian hurriedly said, "Early in the morning this morning, the concubine recited a volume of Buddhist scriptures to pray for the empress dowager."

Concubine Rhodes also said: "Last night I copied a volume of Buddhist scriptures with my own hands, and I burned it in front of the Bodhisattva this morning. I hope the Bodhisattva can see my sincerity."

"Sister De Concubine, the Bodhisattva will definitely see my sincerity." Concubine Shen Xian said affirmatively.

Empress Pei was embarrassed at the moment.

One of the two worshiped Buddha, the other copied Buddhist scriptures, and they both looked pious and filial.

To set off her queen, she is very unfilial and incompetent.

After the Empress Dowager's accident for so long, she stayed in the Cining Palace, never reciting scriptures or copying Buddhist scriptures.

Compared to Second Concubine Shen Luo's filial piety, it is indeed not sincere enough.

Queen Pei was 100% sure that Shen Luo and the others were here to get down and see her unlucky.

She couldn't get angry yet.

She could never accuse the two of not reciting scriptures or copying Buddhist scriptures.

Empress Pei suppressed her emotions and said calmly: "The two of you have a heart. Ben Gong has to guard the empress and can't get away from it. For Ben Gong's share, the two of you will replace it and copy the Buddhist scriptures for Ben Gong. Would you like to? "

Concubine Shen Xian and Concubine Luo looked at each other, scolding shamelessly in their hearts.

However, the two still respectfully responded, "The madam is relieved, the concubine will take care of the copying of the Buddhist scriptures for the madam. It is just that the madam should also take care of her body. What is the best thing to do if you don't sleep all night? It hasn't gotten any better, and the maiden is sick again."

Empress Pei vacuously waved her hand, "It's okay, Ben Gong can still hold on. How can Ben Gong sleep before her mother's old age gets better. This heart of Ben Gong is always on my mind."

"My lady's filial piety is really touching."

"Chen, concubine and others are ashamed of themselves."

Concubine Shen Xian and Concubine Luo were very skillful in flattering, apparently doing this kind of thing often.

Empress Pei said with a cold face and a cold heart, "Okay, you two should go back and copy the Buddhist scriptures. Don't be tired, rest early in the evening."

"Just wait."

Shen Luo and the two exchanged glances with each other, "You have to take a look at the Empress Dowager before leaving."

Obviously, the two of them made up their minds, and they won't leave easily when they come today.

This is Cining Palace, not Weiyang Palace.

Empress Pei's words are not easy to use in Cining Palace.

Empress Pei was so depressed that she wanted to explode on the spot, but she still had a calm look on her face. From time to time, I nervously glanced at the dormitory, hoping that there would be good news inside.

Time passed very slowly.

Every minute is tortured.

The closer the time passed, the more anxious everyone became.

Empress Dowager Xiao will not really have an accident.

Xiao Qin'er's face turned pale.

She thought of the consequences.

If there is an accident with the Queen Mother Xiao, what will the Xiao family do? What will she do?

The tea is cool, and the Queen Mother Xiao is gone, can the Xiao family still be reused in the court?

She has no confidence.

She glanced at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi secretly held her hand, shook his head calmly, and told her to calm down.

In any case, you can't be fooled right now.

Xiao Qin'er nodded, her heart calmed a little.

Just when everyone was restless, there was finally movement in the bedroom.

Emperor Wende walked out of the bedroom with a cold face.

Everyone stood up in unison and looked at Emperor Wende.

Empress Pei clenched her fists tightly, wrapped her sleeves, and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the Queen Mother?"

Her voice was shaking. My heart seemed to be beaten heavily, like gongs and drums, and my whole body was tense.

If she hears bad news, I am afraid that the next moment, she will collapse on the spot.

Emperor Wende said with a stern face: "The mother has passed the dangerous period. Next, she only needs to take good care of her and her body will slowly recover."

call!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Concubine Shen Xian and Concubine Rhodes will inevitably be disappointed.

However, Empress Dowager Xiao fell ill, and after investigation, Empress Pei was going to eat and hang herself.

Thinking of this, Shen Luo and the two did not feel disappointed.

Queen Pei's body softened and she fell on the chair.

His whole body was already soaked in cold sweat. His face grew paler.

Emperor Wende took a deep look at Empress Pei, "I have ordered a strict investigation on this matter. The mother is weak, so don't disturb her, everyone has dispersed."

"Thank God, the Empress Dowager is finally safe and sound." Concubine Shen Xian looked relieved and full of joy.

"Your Majesty is tired! Your Majesty should also take care of your body." Concubine Rhodes was small and gentle.

Emperor Wen De didn't give the two a good look, and left with his sleeves.

The hearts of everyone trembled.

Your Majesty is angry!

It's not over.

"Niangniang, are you alright!" Concubine Shen Xian asked with seeming concern.

Empress Pei lowered her eyes and sneered, then said calmly, "If you're tired, you care, this palace is fine."

"Niangniang must take good care of your body. The concubine sees that her face is not very good, so let's hurry back to Weiyang Palace to rest. Your Majesty has said that the queen mother is weak and not allowed to be disturbed. The empress staying here is only to increase the troubles."

Concubine Shen Xian spoke softly and softly, as if she was planning for Queen Pei wholeheartedly.

Empress Pei smiled, "Concubine Xian is sensible, and she knows that she loves this palace more than when she was in the palace."

Concubine Shen Xian also laughed, "Thanks to the good training of the lady."

"Do you want to continue to stay here?" Seeing that Empress Pei didn't move, Concubine Luo asked curiously.

Concubine Shen Xian sighed, "If the lady really wants to stay here, shouldn't the two ministers and concubines also stay?"

Empress Pei waved her hand, "No. You two should go first."

"Then how can it be done! The concubine must first send off the empress." Concubine Shen Xian looked like she knew the rules.

Empress Pei gritted her teeth and hated in her heart.

She didn't want to go, but her body was weak, she had no strength, and she couldn't stand up at all.

However, she couldn't let Shen Luo and the two see the clue, so she could only stand still.

"Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law will help you up. You have been tired all day and your body is weak. You must not be careless."

Gu Jiu's hand firmly supported Empress Pei's wrist.

Empress Pei was surprised and looked at Gu Jiu subconsciously.

Gu Jiu looked worried, "Is the mother unwell? After staying up all night, it really is not good. Hurry up and call the imperial doctor to wait at the Weiyang Palace, prepare a soft sedan chair, and carry the mother back to the palace."

"Mother, are you serious?" Liu Yi heard the words and was very worried.

Xiao Qin'er also showed concern.

Concubine Shen Xian and Concubine Luo were in shock and doubt, Empress Pei was really sick?

Seeing Gu Jiu's worried and nervous appearance, and then seeing that Queen Pei's face was pale and bloodless, the two of them couldn't help but believe it.

After all, Queen Pei is getting old, and it is normal to stay up all night and make herself sick.
