Chapter 99 Disaster Lures to the East

These few days, Su Mianyue had been honest in the palace, because it was not the first and fifteenth day of the new year, even to greet Empress Dowager did not need to be, but became the biggest idle person.

The quiet days were always short, so Dehai personally came to pass on mu ting's words and asked Su Mianyue to return to Deqing Palace.

"What should come or should come." Su Mianyue smiled sarcastically, asked Biwu to change her clothes, and followed Dehai to Deqing Palace.

Along the way, Su Mianyue did not ask Mu Tinng why she was summoned. Instead, he seemed to be relieved of his pride and humiliation.

After the big ceremony, Su Mianyue sat down beside Mu Tinng. Seeing that concubine de looked at her with a worried face, Su Mianyue smiled gratefully. This concubine de's character was really the best woman in the harem, worthy of Concubine De's title.

"The emperor summoned his concubines, but what's the matter?" Su Mianyue opened his mouth, knowing that he was a consultant.

"Did the queen ever send a pot of potted plants to yingmei?" Mu Tinng asked.

"Biwu, when I heard that Beauty was pregnant with a dragon heir, I asked Chunhua to send some tonics and some potted plants that the Imperial Household Department had just sent. Do you know which pot it was?" Su Mianyue turned to Biwu.

"To the empress, it was a pot of narcissus. When the Imperial Household Department sent it, they said that the narcissus bloomed in winter, but only this pot bloomed in midsummer. It must be something from Jixiang, so they sent it to the empress for fun. My mother doesn't like bonsai. When Chunhua came to discuss it with her servant, she said that the Imperial Household Department said that this daffodil was a possession of Jixiang, and that it was the best to give it to Beauty. It would certainly give birth to a dragon, and it wouldn't be a waste for the daffodil to come to this world in the wrong season." Biwu leaned back and explained the whole story.

Su Mianyue nodded and looked at mu ting, asking Mu Tinng if there was anything else he wanted to ask.

"Did the Imperial Household Department send the daffodils to Phoenix Palace?" Mu Tinng asked with a slightly cold face.

"Speaking to the emperor, the empress has never loved flowers and plants. She only occasionally goes to Imperial Garden to pick some petals. The potted plants in the fengqi palace are also placed in the yard or pavilion. If not for the Imperial Household Department to send flowers by season, there would be no potted plants in the fengqi palace." Biwu was telling the truth. Neither Su Mianyue nor the former lord was a flower lover.

It can't be said that he doesn't like flowers. He just doesn't like potted plants. He thinks that it's the way to raise flowers in a greenhouse.

He took a deep look at Biwu and saw that she did not look like a lie, and that Su Mianyue's bedroom did not have any potted plants, which was not an excuse.

"Did the emperor summon his concubines to ask about the potted plants?" Su Mianyue looked at mu ting in puzzlement. Seeing that he nodded, he smiled and said, "I think Beauty likes potted plants. When his concubines return, they will let people count Phoenix Palace. If there are precious and famous flowers, they will send them to ying mei to enjoy."

Su Mianyue's face was pure and pure, but his heart was sneering. Since the last time someone set him up, Su Mianyue had studied the flower knowledge for a period of time. Otherwise, she really did not know that the daffodils could cause a pregnant woman to miscarry.

As for whether yingchun really miscarried because of a pot of flowers or did anything else, at least she had achieved her goal.

"The empress has a heart, but now Beauty..." Concubine De looked at Mu Tinng and saw that he had no intention of stopping him. He said, "Beauty's child was not saved. The imperial doctor said it was because there were daffodils in the room."

"What?" Su Mianyue exclaimed, then his face darkened and he asked, "How about the imperial concubine? Didn't she hurt the dragon in her stomach?"

"Concubine Qing had been having a baby in the house for the past few days because of her poor health. Beauty placed the potted plants in the house, so that's why..." At this point, Concubine De's eyes reddened with grief.

For a man who could not bear children, it was both envious and jealous to see others pregnant, but concubine de never thought of harming the dragon heir in Beauty's womb.

Hearing this, Su Mianyue took a long vomit, murmuring that Concubine Qing was fine, and that he was finally able to preserve a trace of royal blood. Then, under Mu Tinng's gaze, he asked sadly, "The emperor called his concubine, but because he suspected that his concubine intended to harm the prince in Beauty's womb, or even Concubine Qing's child?"

Mu Tinng did not speak, but his expression was tacit.

Taking a deep breath, Su Mianyue forced back the sour look in his eyes and got up and knelt in front of Mu Tinng. The people in the room, led by concubine de, knelt down with her.

"Your majesty, your concubines cry out for grievances, and ask your majesty to give you justice." Su Mianyue said sadly, "In the end, the concubine implicated Beauty, but the person who gave the concubine the daffodils could be punished. The safety of the concubines in the harem is related to the heir. The concubines are the empress, and if they can come out, they are the direct heir, and their status is even more honorable. But the Imperial Household Department sent a pot of daffodils that can abort a baby. This is undoubtedly to murder the concubines."

Although there was no husband and wife between Mu Tinng and Su Mianyue, only Mu Tinng and Su Mianyue knew about it, so Su Mianyue's words made sense.

"The people of the Imperial Household Department are to be punished for their negligence and intentional murder. Today they are concubines and beautiful women, and tomorrow they may be other concubines, and even those who have not been born in the past..." Biting his lips, Su Mianyue kowtowed and pleaded, "Will the emperor also order all the officials of the Imperial Household Department strictly, or will the harem and concubines and yi an xin serve the king?"

Originally did not want to participate in this matter, but thinking of Concubine Qing's current situation, Concubine De also knelt down and begged, "Please check the Imperial Household Department thoroughly, check the items in the palace, the imperial heir can no longer be damaged."

Mu ting didn't want to make things too big. He secretly executed the person who wanted to kill Su Mianyue, but the pregnant concubines in the harem never gave birth safely. Mu Tinng had to think about it.

"Dehai, pass on an oral order, thoroughly investigate all the officials in the inner court and the officials who sent daffodils to Phoenix Palace, and make sure to find out the real culprit behind the scenes." Mu Tinng spoke softly, but Dehai, who had served him for many years, could tell how angry Mu Tinng was.

"The servant obeys the order," Dehai answered. Before he left, he gave Su Mianyue a meaningful look and then left quickly.

The others did not notice the look in dehai's eyes, but Su Mianyue noticed it and did not take it to heart. He was just a obedient servant, and if he dared to do anything, he would be dead.

The case was not clear, and Mu Tinng was not in a good mood. He told Concubine De to take care of the beauty and left.

Seeing that Su Mianyue had no intention of leaving for the time being, Concubine De sent all the palace people out of the house, then saluted Su Mianyue and waited for Su Mianyue to show his hand.

"Concubine De entered the crown prince's mansion earlier than this palace and was the first to conceive. Unfortunately, the final result only added to his grief." Su Mianyue said, looking up at Concubine De and seeing her face turn pale and sad, he said, "Did Concubine De not doubt whether it was an accident or a human being?"

"What does the empress mean?" Concubine De suddenly looked up at Su Mianyue in disbelief.

"Concubine De was the prince's concubine back then, and the emperor was not the crown prince at that time, but there were many people who wanted to become the prince's concubine, and even more people who wanted to be the country's president than the minister of jiang. Concubine De is a woman of high quality, do you still need me to say something or two?" With a sneer, seeing concubine de's complicated face, Su Mianyue continued, "Of course, Concubine De can also doubt this palace, but Concubine De should be very clear that this palace did not know the emperor at that time, and naturally did not fall in love with him, and this palace's father has always hoped that this palace can live a normal life."

Concubine De looked at Su Mianyue in a daze and asked weakly after a long time, "What's the point of saying this to the empress and her concubines? The concubine's children can't come back, and the concubine's body was injured that year, and she will never..."

Looking at Concubine De, who had always been calm and calm, with her eyes red with grief, Su Mianyue felt a little sympathy in her heart, but she still said coldly: "In those days, Concubine De blocked an assassin's sword for the emperor, causing a miscarriage due to excessive blood loss. But as far as this palace knows, the hemorrhage after a small period of childbirth caused Concubine De to be difficult to conceive a child again. Has the difficult moral consort ever doubted it?"

Concubine De's body shook. It was obvious that Su Mianyue had hit the nail on the head. The woman who could secure a place in the harem was never a simple person. How could Concubine De not doubt it, but there was no definite evidence and had to swallow the bitter water himself?

After a deep look at Su Mianyue, Concubine De suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to su mianyue, pleading earnestly, "If the empress can avenge my concubine, I will serve the empress with all my heart and mind."

"I don't need it." Su Mianyue refused indifferently and looked into Concubine De's puzzled eyes. He smiled and said, "I want you to put down that hatred from now on and stop investigating secretly. Can you do that?"

"What does the empress mean?" Even though Concubine De was intelligent, he could not understand Su Mianyue's true intention at this time. He could only ask carefully. It was obvious that Concubine De could retain his status today and was also trying to survive on thin ice.

With a faint smile hanging from her lips, Su Mianyue stepped forward, helped concubine de up, and took her hand to sit down together. Then he said, "Concubine De is the concubine who has been with the emperor for the longest time. When she was able to block that sword for the emperor, it must have touched her true feelings. The immoral concubine does not want to stay with the emperor all the time. Is her honor and favor not waning?"

Concubine De froze and looked at Su Mianyue in surprise. The emotions in his eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish, but the slight fear made Su Mianyue look real.

No wonder Concubine De was the most favored concubine today. No one knew how much longer Gu Linng could be loved. Su Mianyue used to be impulsive and vicious. Mu Tinng's women were persecuted.

"Concubine De, don't be nervous. I've left you alone today just to make you feel better. After all, the only person who hasn't tripped me up or coveted the position of empress in all these years is Concubine De. And Concubine De is the only one who can make your majesty feel guilty and be endlessly pampered." Su Mianyue laughed bitterly, and she was referring to those women who were qualified to become empress, such as the qing concubines and other people's status and family background were not qualified.

"My concubine is stupid and I hope the empress will teach me." Concubine De was nervous, but she bowed her head obediently, waiting for Su Mianyue to make things clearer.

"Now that there are many new people in the palace, it is necessary to continue to fill the harem in the future. However, no matter how many women there are in the harem, no matter how many imperial heirs there are, there is only one person who can be conferred crown prince." Su Mianyue smiled and looked at Concubine De. She didn't need to say much and believed that Concubine De could understand.

Seeing that concubine de frowned slightly, Su Mianyue did not disturb her thoughts. She picked up the teacup and sipped. She sighed in her heart that Concubine De was indeed a wonderful person. The tea was made from several chinese herbs and had the effect of calming her nerves. No wonder Mu Tinng often came to sit down.

When su mianyue put down the teacup, Concubine De had already made a decision and stood up to salute su mianyue with a respectful attitude.

"I thank the empress for her kindness, and I will remember it in my life." Concubine De kowtowed again and spoke in a serious tone.

With a faint smile, Su Mianyue did not help concubine de up this time, but left with the queen's demeanor.

Mu Tinng, Gu Linng, the damage you have put on me, even if I leave this palace one day, I will leave you with endless trouble and let you continue to pay the price!

Concubine De arrived at the entrance of the palace respectfully, then straightened his back and went back to bed, thinking carefully about what to do next.
