Chapter 278 I always feel like they are hiding something from me
When talking about the Empress Dowager's difficult childbirth, the faces of the several concubines in the palace varied.
Lu Xinran glanced at several people and saw that one of them looked pale 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 could make a fortune from these secrets.
[Well, the Empress Dowager was indeed poisoned when she was attacked, 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 her sighs.
She collected her thoughts and continued to look through the pages.
[The Queen Mother is 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 gave it does not know what the effect is, so until now the other party only thinks that the effect is not as effective as the legend says.]
The empress dowager's face was already somewhat livid. How could she be so lucky? She was clearly extremely unlucky!
If it weren't for Su Hongyu, she would have died and had two bodies on the day of childbirth.
While flipping through the booklet, Lu Xinran secretly glanced at the empress dowager's expression. Seeing that her expression became increasingly unsightly, she flipped through the booklet a little faster.
[That person was not like the previous concubines, who had relatives in the Imperial Medical Bureau who could help them plot. After the Empress Dowager launched the attack, Su Hongyu immediately ordered someone to invite the imperial physician.]
[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 abortion-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 underlying illness, and neither of them was affected too much by the incident.]
She felt that all the past events had come to an end when she saw this, but she never said who had drugged her.
But the empress dowager was experienced and knew who had drugged her. One of the people in front of her was shaking so much that he was about to collapse on the ground.
She glanced at him coldly, but did not rush to make a 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 check old events in the future.
The queen just lowered her head and looked at the silk handkerchief in her hand. Only when she had finished thinking about it did she raise her hand to pick up the tea bowl beside her and took 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 instantly understood what she meant and all 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 tactful enough to leave, she smiled and waved her hand to signal them to leave quickly.
After leaving Yongshou Palace, Lu Xinran followed the Queen and subconsciously turned back to glance at the palace wall.
The Queen Mother seems to have changed a lot during this period of time.
As expected, anyone who could fight his way out of the harem must be someone of extraordinary character and means.
If you really mistake the Queen Mother for a kind and friendly old person, you will be asking for trouble.
"You can have lunch in the palace before going back. It's a rare opportunity for you to enter the palace, so please keep me company and talk."
The queen's voice fell faintly into the ears of several people, and Zhang Shui'er 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 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, "Let's go to Changchun Palace."
The Queen has been keeping him guessing these days, so he might as well take this opportunity to go to Changchun Palace to find out what she is saying.
At this moment, Lu Xinran just wanted to leave the palace, and then send someone to deliver a message to Song Junyan and go straight to the palace.
The system has sorted out Concubine Hua's booklet for her, and loaded Lan Jieyu's and the Queen Mother's booklets. Now she just wants to eat the melon.
Seeing that she was distracted, the queen just smiled and signaled the palace servant to pour them tea.
"This is the coarse tea I brought back from Yucheng Pass. You can try it."
Lu Xinran had drunk the coarse tea from the northwest before, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She had just flipped through the booklet in Yongshou Palace, and she felt a little tired at the moment, so she drank the tea in one breath.
Lu Xinlan stayed in Yucheng Pass longer, and she even missed the taste of this tea.
However, Zhang Shui'er and Tang Wanrou only picked up the tea bowls, and when they smelled the somewhat rough odor, they subconsciously frowned.
"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 the others, our daily food and clothing were no different from those of the people at the border.
"These coarse teas are also used. I didn't expect that you can no longer use them after just a few years back in Beijing."
These words did have 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 notice the abnormality, how could she not see it?
Since she entered the palace today, she discovered that the Queen treated the Lu sisters very differently. Now she was using tea to hit 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 and pretended not to notice the atmosphere in the palace. She raised her hand and called for the palace servant to refill her tea cup.
"Zhang Er, you can't do this. It's bitter and cold at the border, 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 Shui'er'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 dry heave, but she endured it.
