Chapter 17 Weirdness
In the Chuxiu Palace, the usual relaxed and lively atmosphere changed. Cui Xiu and Concubine Yun were sitting in the upper seats. Chunfeng stood beside Cui Xiu. Others in the palace did not dare to take a breath. , just for fear of offending the master.
"These days, there are so many brave people who actually dare to drug the palace."
"Sister, are you okay?"
Concubine Yun Gui As she said that, she looked at Cui Xiu beside her. She also got the news today and hurried over to take a look. If Cui Xiu didn't drink the medicine, it would be fine. If he drank the medicine again, she would stop him.
Concubine Yun Guifei brought her personal maid who knew medical skills. First she smelled the medicine, and then she wanted to see the dregs of the medicine, so Cui Xiu asked Qiu Feng to take her there.
Now we are waiting for Qiu Feng and the others to come back. Cui Xiu is about to give birth. She must have bad intentions in giving the medicine at this moment. Regardless of whether the ingredients of the medicine are found out, the mastermind behind it must be found out.
Cui Xiu Ningyan moved his head slightly, indicating to Concubine Yun that she was fine. However, Concubine Yun appeared suddenly. The medicine did not scare her, but this person did.
Cui Xiu had already expected that the recent medicine must be abnormal. Not only did she know that the medicine was abnormal, she also knew who gave her the medicine, so she dared to drink it.
Ning Cairen would not harm her, and even if he wanted to harm her, it would not be now, so Cui Xiu was not afraid.
As she said before, in today's harem, Ning Cai is the one who wants her to give birth to her child safely. She needs an identity, a good identity for her child.
"Sister Yun, don't worry, my sister is fine."
Cui Xiu thought, who told Sister Yun that she had been drugged? What Ning Cairen did must be very secretive. It would be best if no one knew about it.
At this juncture, letting Sister Yun know would do her no good.
The arrival of Concubine Yun made Cui Xiu start to think that this matter must not be that simple and must be handled carefully.
"He'er, since I know about this matter, I will not stand by and watch."
"Don't worry, with me here, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely not be able to escape."
" The Queen is busy preparing for the banquet in a few days."
"We will find out the matter first, and then we will take the person there directly."
Concubine Yun has always been there. She is thoughtful and can take the overall situation into consideration. Whether this matter is big or small depends on how she handles it.
If it is handled well, the person who drugged the drug will be found out, tortured thoroughly, evidence of the crime found, and brought to the attention of the Queen, everything will be handled quickly.
It can give Cui Xiu justice and also warn those in the harem who have evil intentions and try to fly up the branches.
If it is not handled well and Cui Xiu's production is delayed, and the matter is brought to the banquet and General Cui and General Xiao Cui, who have just returned from the army, know about it, it will be troublesome.
Everyone in the capital knows that Cui Xiu is the youngest daughter of General Cui's mansion. She was raised with great favor and love since she was a child and has never been wronged.
General Xiao Cui knew that his sister was being persecuted in the palace. He would not give up and would definitely ask the emperor for an explanation.
The emperor saw General Xiao Cui's military exploits in shooting the enemy marshal, so he would not casually offend General Cui's palace.
However, foreign ministers cannot involve the harem. This has been a rule since ancient times. If the emperor sets a precedent and allows the Cui family to interfere with the affairs of his harem, the emperor will inevitably be unhappy.
At this point, there was a grudge between the monarch and his ministers, causing the emperor to be wary of their Cui family. This was not a scene Cui Xiu wanted to see.
There are many generals in the court, and some of them are more prestigious than the Cui family, but they are not so eye-catching for two reasons.
First, no daughter in their family married into the palace, and their daughters often married young.
Second, they know how to restrain their sharp edges, recharge their batteries, and guess the thoughts of their Majesty, handing over military power at the right time. Cui Xiu briefly recalled everything from his previous life, and came to the conclusion that the Cui family's edge was indeed a bit dazzling.
As an official in the government, it is not a good thing to always be in the spotlight.
Cui Xiu thought that he must communicate with his family as soon as possible. If he can hand over the military power, he should hand it over as soon as possible. After all, there have been talented people from generation to generation, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years. It is also time to give some opportunities to newcomers. .
After Cui Xiu thought about it, she suddenly discovered that many things were related to each other. Someone had deliberately designed these things. A small thing like drugging would make the emperor never reuse the Cui family again. .
This is really a good strategy.
The person who set up this plan must have been determined. She would take the medicine and go to the Queen to seek justice, and this matter would definitely reach the ears of her father and brother.
Once her brother told the emperor, the seed of doubt buried in the emperor's heart appeared.
“Sister Yun, I don’t want to make it known to the Queen for the time being.”
Cui Xiu thought and said to Concubine Yun. When Concubine Yun heard what Cui Xiu said, she felt that Cui Xiu Xiu was worried that the queen wouldn't make the decision for her or something.
"Sister, don't be afraid."
"Someone is trying to harm you in this matter. Let's go to the Queen, she won't ignore it."
The Queen took the job of controlling the harem. Son, of course we have to handle all the big and small things in the harem clearly and clearly. How can we shirk the blame one by one?
Even if the queen doesn't like Cui Xiu, she must take the overall situation into consideration and cannot ignore Cui Xiu's experience because of her personal feelings.
Cui Xiu did not continue. She looked up at Chunfeng and said, "Let them do their own thing."
Concubine Yun Guifei saw that Cui Xiu was trying to push away these maids. She said nothing and just watched quietly.
Chunfeng accepted the order and arranged for the palace ladies to go out. After the palace ladies went out, Chunfeng closed the door of the palace, and Cui Xiu continued to talk to Concubine Yun.
“No, Sister Yun, I’m not afraid.”
“It’s just that I doubt it.”
“There’s something fishy about it.”
Cui Xiu's eyes sank, as if he was joking. After hearing this, Concubine Yun showed a thoughtful expression on her face.
While Concubine Yun Gui was still thinking, Cui Xiu continued: "It's not the first day I drank this medicine."
"If I wanted to take the medicine, I would have taken it long ago."
“Of course you wanted to harm me when you gave me the medicine, but so far, I don’t feel any discomfort.”
Concubine Yun listened to Cui Xiu’s analysis, and she raised her eyes as if she had something to say. Si Dao: "It's indeed a bit strange for you to say that."
"This is drugging people, it's not to harm them, so what is it for?"
Concubine Yun said, the door of the palace was pushed open, Qiu Feng and the medical woman brought by Concubine Yun came back , and Xiao Cui came back at the same time.
Xiao Cui was pulled back by the autumn wind. The doctor girl carried the medicine residue, and the three of them walked to Cui Xiu and Concubine Yun.
Before Xiaocui could stop, she knelt down and cried, "Please forgive me, Imperial Concubine, please forgive me. Imperial Concubine, please forgive me."
