Chapter 1458 Either Gave Her a Hint or Gave Her Hope
When Yun Xiang followed her second master's wife and second master's wife into the palace, what she saw was a happy scene in the Qinghuang Palace.
After talking about her grievances with Liu Yue, Mrs. Xiang no longer felt uneasy. She also thought that Liu Wei would probably go to the palace to treat the queen for a long time in the future, so she involuntarily showed her favor to Liu Wei.
The queen didn't know that the two of them were changing their clothes and had a conversation. She liked Liu Wei from the beginning, not only because Liu Wei was Yun Xi's friend, but also because the other party diagnosed her illness.
To be honest, she had thought about poisoning. How could a good person become seriously ill for no apparent reason? But there were poisons that could be made by name, such as crane-top red, gallbladder, and oleander. The Yun family checked for medicine, but found nothing.
Mercury poison, aside from being a secret, is not easy to find. The Queen really has not thought about it at all.
Curing a disease is not something that happens overnight, and now that the source of the poison is known, this feeling of having some peace of mind makes the queen feel more at ease.
And these were all brought to her by Liu Wei. Putting aside the anger of being poisoned, the queen was a person who knew rewards and punishments clearly. She had a certain kindness towards the benefactor who diagnosed her illness. Mrs. Qin was quite surprised by the Queen's love for Liu Wei. In fact, several ladies of the Yun family quite liked Liu Wei. She had superb medical skills and was capable of literature and martial arts. She was also the granddaughter of Teacher Ji. The few men in the family who had lost face were betting on Liu Wei. Sulky, they don’t care, women should help women anyway, they like this
A woman who is no worse than a man and can hold up half the sky by herself.
When they came to the Qinghuang Palace, the Qin family Ying family came with the intention of supporting Liu Wei. They were also afraid that Liu Wei was young and was a young man after all. If the queen's illness could not be diagnosed, the people in the palace would look down upon her. They went, but when they came, they found that the queen cared so much about Liu Wei.
Mrs. Xiang dismissed the servant and explained the situation.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qin immediately frowned: "Mercury poison?"
The queen nodded solemnly and pointed to the jewelry everywhere in the inner hall: "Even if I have a soft temper and am bullied to the extreme, sister-in-law, don't worry, I am not easy to handle."
The Qin family naturally believed in the Queen's methods. If she was really soft-hearted, she would not be able to raise a powerful person like the Prime Minister's wife. Especially since the Yun family later became rich and became the Prime Minister's wife, she was still willing to fulfill her duties to the Queen. This is remarkable. After all, the Queen is definitely not a good person.
After all, she is her own daughter-in-law, and she is the one she cares about. Naturally, Mrs. Qin hopes that the queen will be well, but she is worried: "Concubine Xin is now a holy favorite. The emperor's affection for the empress is true, but he is the king of a country. Your feelings are , is it enough for him to offend the Xin family for you?"
Xin's father was Zuo Cheng of the current dynasty, and his brother was the general of the auxiliary country. He had a lot of merits in the family and was a veteran. He showed favor to Concubine Xin and also showed favor to Zuo Cheng. Since Taifu Ji became an official, this Xianyan There was only one elder left in the imperial court, Zuo Cheng.
Regardless of the actual power in Zuo Cheng's hands, what he said carries a lot of weight in the hearts of the officials.
The queen's eyes flashed, and she saw that the room was full of outsiders, so there was no need to hide it: "Concubine Xin dared to attack me, she must have someone to rely on behind her. Although I don't want to think about it, Concubine Xin has been in the palace for ten years. Two years ago, why did we only start five years ago?”
Mrs. Qin was stunned. When she mentioned five years ago, the first thing she thought of was the emperor's birthday.
The queen's illness also occurred suddenly while preparing for the dance performance. Before the emperor's birthday, Concubine Xin had just become pregnant with her second child.
Concubine Xin's first child was a princess, and her second child was still a princess. But the child was not born five years ago. Just imagine, if the queen couldn't get up at that time, and Concubine Xin gave birth to a prince in her second child, what would happen to the harem? Didn't all the power fall into her hands?
However, as the queen said, if Concubine Xin had been in the palace for twelve years, if she had any arrogance, she would have dealt with the queen during the first pregnancy. Why wait until the second pregnancy?
The only explanation is that someone said something to her during her second pregnancy, or gave her a hint, or gave her hope.
And this person is most likely her pillow person.
Qin shuddered and took the queen's hand, squeezing it tightly.
The Qin family came in early, and the Qin family and the Yun family were family friends. When the Qin family married her master, the queen was still a little girl, chasing after her sister-in-law for sweets all day long.
Although she later became a phoenix and became the mother of the world, in the queen's heart, her eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, and she could never let go of her friendship with Mrs. Qin, her eldest sister-in-law.
Seeing Mrs. Qin's worry, the queen laughed again and comforted her: "The palace is not an easy place to stay. My brother and sister-in-law asked me if I really wanted to get married. Since I said yes, I will do my best. I’m prepared for bad things, sister-in-law, don’t worry, I have my own ideas.”
Mrs. Qin took a deep breath, knowing that her sister-in-law had an idea, so she said nothing more, but she still sighed in her heart: "Looking at how much I love you, how could I have imagined it, but..."
"The royal family's sincerity is inherently empty and real. I couldn't see through him before, and now I can't even understand it. But it's okay. We have been husband and wife for many years, and after the initial deep love, now, I really know what he did. Whatever it is that I'm sorry for, I can just wait and see what happens and stay calm."
When Mrs. Qin heard what she said, she was half relieved, but then she started to think about it again.
It must be so sad that the couple has reached this stage of trouble, but she said that she should just wait and see what happens and stay calm. This must have already chilled her heart.
Mrs. Qin was worried and tired, so the queen comforted her again, and Mrs. Ying was also there to persuade her.
As a junior, Yun Xiang had no position to speak, so he quietly walked around behind Liu Wei, tugged on her clothes, and asked cautiously: "Sister Wei, can you really cure your empress's illness?"
After all, she was her biological aunt. Although Yun Xiang didn't mention it on the surface, it didn't mean that she wasn't worried.
Hearing this, Liu Wei also lowered his voice and replied to her: "It can definitely be cured. I have to go back and discuss the details with your masters. They know the queen's illness better."
Yun Xiang felt relieved: "It'll be good if it can be cured."
Then he looked sad: "Why did my uncle hurt my aunt? Didn't they get married because they loved each other?"
At this time, she mentioned the title of her relatives, which showed that she felt sad in her heart.
It is rare that the relationship between the emperor and the queen was originally a mutual love, not a purely political marriage. It is precisely because of this that the two were able to stay together for many years.
But who could have imagined that today, things would suddenly change.
Liu Wei has never met the emperor, nor has she met Concubine Xin. In her opinion, it is normal for a man's love to change, but a change of heart is completely different from being hurt. It does not necessarily mean that you cannot love each other, but you must To put the opponent to death.
From Liu Wei's point of view, it is still somewhat logical to say that Concubine Xin gave the emperor a pillow blow and asked the emperor to deal with the queen for her. But if it was said that the emperor was the envoy from the beginning, then Liu Wei would not understand. What was the purpose? =
