Chapter 506: Downfall

Good is not good, bad spirit.
Gu Jiu's worries were fulfilled, and indeed there was something wrong with the food in the palace.
Early in the morning, she entered the palace with Xiao Qin'er and the others, and came to Cining Palace to ask for peace.
Empress Pei's eyes were bloodshot, her face was pale and she looked ashamed. As if the sky was falling.
The eunuchs came in and out, and were treating the Queen Mother Xiao.
This morning, Emperor Wen De canceled the court meeting and stayed by the bedside of the Queen Mother Xiao, and ordered the imperial physicians to give full treatment.
Xu Yousi came to Gu Jiu silently.
Because Liu Zhao became the prince, everyone around Gu Jiu followed suit. Xu Yousi was promoted from the Xiaohuangmen to an inferior, although his rank was low, he was promoted somehow.
Gu Jiu calmed down, avoided people, quietly came to a secluded place, and asked, "Did you find out clearly?"
Before they entered the palace, they only knew that Queen Mother Xiao was seriously ill, and they didn't know the rest.
When they arrived at Ci Ning Palace, the atmosphere was solemn, and no one explained the cause and effect for them.
In desperation, the Eight Immortals had to 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 Dining Room to set up a banquet. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother ate together, talking about the daily routine. The meals were all fine. Used. After dinner, when the empress dowager suddenly had an unbearable abdominal pain in the middle of the night, the doctor checked and said that she had eaten the wrong thing."
Gu Jiu frowned, "The queen and your majesty are okay?"
Xu Yousi nodded, "Only the empress dowager has abdominal pain."
Gu Jiu looked in the direction of the sleeping hall, and after tossing all night, the Empress Dowager Xiao still had abdominal pain. In addition, she is getting older, and if there is a long and two shortcomings, the consequences can hardly be imagined.
No wonder the Queen Mother looks like the sky is falling.
The banquet was ordered by her, and this matter was held accountable, no matter whether she was innocent or not, she could not escape responsibility.
The first emperor had only been dead for half a year. At this time, the Empress Dowager Xiao had an accident. It was really bad luck for a whole year.
Out of filial piety, Emperor Wen De will also pursue it. At that time, I don't know how many people will have their heads down.
His Royal Highness Liu Yi walked into Ci Ning Palace with sweat, and came to Empress Pei.
He squatted behind the emperor Pei, "Queen mother, relax. The empress dowager will definitely get better."
Empress Pei grabbed Liu Yi's hand as if grabbing the straw, "The Queen Mother will be fine, right?"
Liu Yi nodded, "It will definitely get better."
Xiao Qin'er also leaned forward and comforted Queen Pei in a soft voice.
In fact, Xiao Qin'er's position is a bit awkward. Just because her surname is Xiao, the same as the Queen Mother Xiao.
Gu Jiu sighed.
Liu Zhao led an errand out of Beijing at the end of last month. I don't know if 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, "Did you get the dinner menu last night?"
Xu Yousi nodded and whispered the name of the dish.
Most of the dishes are quite normal, and the list is good.
There are only a few fresh dishes, a bit heavy.
Is it possible that Queen Mother Xiao is allergic to Hexian?
If Xiao Tai is really allergic to Hexian, it is impossible for no one to know about this for so many years.
The Empress Dowager Xiao herself definitely knew what she could and could not eat.
Even if the Queen Mother Xiao is always confused, she doesn't know what to avoid. Are all the people in the palace serving by her side dead? Don't you know the reminder?
It seems that the abdominal pain is not caused by Hexian. Maybe it's food.
Gu Jiu pondered the menu.
Concubine Shen Xian and Concubine Rod, the two came to Cining Palace together.
At the beginning of the year, Emperor Wen De was enthroned and named his concubine. At that time, the two concubines Shen and Luo were both concubines.
Four concubines still have two places left, and the nine concubines below, all of them have enough strength, and they all want to be concubines.
"Niang, is the queen mother okay with her old man?" When Concubine Shen Xian came, she asked Empress Pei with her mouth open without even thinking of herself as an outsider.
Empress Pei was in a panic, no matter where she had time to socialize with Concubine Shen Xian, she ignored her.
Concubine Shen Xian didn’t need anyone to greet her, she found a place to sit down and said,
The concubine heard that the empress did not sleep all night. No wonder her face was haggard and red blood in her eyes. Empress, you have to take care of your body. If the queen mother is sick, this will bring you down. Nothing can happen. If you fall ill, the harem will lose its backbone."
Words are good words.
It's just that when Concubine Shen Xian said these words, she always felt a strange smell. The truth is mixed with secret schadenfreude, which is obviously not too big to watch the excitement.
After hearing this, Queen Pei had to cheer up.
Her face sank, "I'm tired of both of you to worry about, my palace body can hold it, so don't worry."
Concubine Shen Xian clutched her chest, "The concubine's heart was very flustered. Two days ago, the concubine came to greet the Queen Mother. At that time, the Queen Mother had a very good complexion and full of breath. Why did she become very ill in the blink of an eye. Mother, there is this inside. But for some reason, do you need help from concubines and others?"
Queen Pei sneered to herself.
The cause and effect of the Queen Mother Xiao’s accident have long been spread throughout the harem.
Concubine Shen Xian and her pretended to be stupid.
What, is she sure she can't get off this time?
Queen Pei said coldly: "There is an imperial doctor in the mother's place, so there is no need for both of you to worry about. There is no need for so many people here, you two should go back first. When there is news, our palace will send someone to say."
"The concubine is better to guard, otherwise I feel uneasy." Princess Luo said in a low voice.
Concubine Shen Xian nodded again and again, "I am really worried about the Queen Mother. What should I do if the emperor's doctor fails?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The queen mother's elders and lucky people have their own natural conditions, and they will surely be able to turn bad luck into good luck." Empress Pei whispered.
Concubine Shen Xian said hurriedly: "Early this morning, my concubine read a volume of Buddhist scriptures to pray for the empress dowager."
Princess Rodriguez also said: "I personally copied a volume of Buddhist scriptures last night and burned it in front of the Bodhisattva this morning. I hope the Bodhisattva can see my sincerity in waiting."
"Sister Defei, the Bodhisattva will definitely see my sincerity in waiting." Shen Xianfei said affirmatively.
Empress Pei was embarrassed at the moment.
One of these two worshiped the Buddha, and the other copied the Buddhist scriptures, both showing a pious and filial appearance.
It shows that she, the queen, is very unfilial and incompetent.
After the Queen Mother had an accident for so long, she stayed at the Ci Ning Palace, never chanting or copying Buddhist scriptures.
Compared with the filial piety of the second concubine Shen Luo, she is indeed not sincere enough.
Empress Pei was 100% sure that Shen Luo and the two were here to go down and see her unlucky.
She can't get angry because of her.
She can never accuse the two of them of reciting sutras and copying Buddhist sutras.
Empress Pei suppressed her emotions and said calmly: "You two have a heart. This palace has to guard the empress and can't get out of it. You two will take the place of the palace and copy the Buddhist scriptures for this palace, are you willing? "
Concubine Shen Xian and Concubine Luo looked at each other, cursing inwardly and shamelessly.
However, the two responded respectfully, "The empress is relieved, and the concubine will take care of the matter of copying the Buddhist scriptures. But the empress should also take care of her body. What is good if you stay up all night and stay up all night? Don't be the queen mother. She hasn't gotten better yet, Niang Niang is sick again."
Empress Pei waved her hand vacantly, "It's okay, this palace can still hold it. Before the empress and her elders get better, how can this palace sleep well. This heart of this palace is always held."
"Niang Niang's filial piety is really moving."
"The concubines and others are ashamed."
Concubine Shen Xian and Concubine Luo are very skillful in flattering, obviously they often do such things.
Empress Pei said coldly, "Okay, both of you go back and copy the Buddhist scriptures. Don't be tired, and rest early in the evening."
"Just wait."
Shen Luo exchanged glances with each other, "You have to look at the empress mother before you can leave."
Obviously, the two of them have made up their minds and will not leave easily when they come today.
This is Cining Palace, not Weiyang Palace.
What Empress Pei said would not work well in Ci Ning Palace.
Empress Pei was so depressed that she wanted to explode on the spot, but she had to make a calm look on her face. From time to time, I looked nervously at the sleeping hall, hoping to have good news inside.
Time flies slowly.
Every minute and every second is torturing people.
The closer time passed, the more fearful everyone became.
Queen Mother Xiao will not really have an accident.
Xiao Qin'er's face turned pale.
She thought of various consequences.
What if the Queen Mother Xiao had an accident? What about her?
People take the tea to cool, and the Queen Mother is gone. Can the Xiao family be reused in the court?
She has no confidence.
She glanced at Liu Yi.
Liu Yi secretly held her hand and shook her head calmly, telling her to stay calm.
In any case, you can't mess around now.
Xiao Qin'er nodded, calming down.
When everyone was anxious, there was finally movement in the sleeping hall.
Emperor Wende walked out of the sleeping hall with a cold face.
Everyone stood up together and looked at Emperor Wen De.
Empress Pei clenched her fists tightly and hugged her sleeves, and asked: "Your Majesty, how is the queen mother?"
Her voice was trembling. His heart felt like he was being beaten hard, like a gong and drum, his whole body tense.
If she hears bad news, she might fall down on the spot in the next moment.
Emperor Wen De said with a straight face: "The queen mother has passed the dangerous period, and then only needs a good health care, the body will slowly recover."
call!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Concubine Shen Xian and Concubine Rod are inevitably disappointed.
However, the Queen Mother Xiao fell ill, and when they were investigated, it was the Queen Pei who had to eat and die.
Thinking of this, Shen Luo and the others were not disappointed either.
Empress Pei softened and fell into a chair.
He was already soaked in cold sweat. His face became paler.
Emperor Wende took a deep look at Empress Pei, "I have ordered someone to investigate this matter carefully. The mother is weak and must not be disturbed. Everyone is gone."
"Thank God, the empress dowager is finally safe." Concubine Shen Xian looked relieved, full of joy.
"Your Majesty is tired! Your Majesty also take care of your body." Concubine Rod was gentle and gentle.
Emperor Wen De didn't show the two of them a good face, so he flung his sleeves and left.
The hearts of everyone trembled.
Your Majesty is angry!
This matter is not over.
"Niang Niang, are you all right!" Concubine Shen Xian asked seemingly concerned.
Queen Pei lowered her eyes and sneered, then calmly said: "I'm tired, you care, this palace is fine."
"The empress must take care of your body. The concubine looks at the empress and her face is not very good, so he should go back to Weiyang Palace and rest. Your Majesty said that the queen mother is weak and no one is allowed to disturb. The empress stay here is just annoying."
Concubine Shen Xian spoke softly and gently, as if she was planning on behalf of Queen Pei.
Empress Pei smiled, "Concubine Xian is sensible, and she knows that she loves my palace better than she was in the palace."
Concubine Shen Xian also laughed, "Thanks to the good training of the empress."
"Will the empress continue to stay here?" Seeing that Queen Pei hadn't moved, Princess Luo asked curiously.
Concubine Shen Xian said, "If the empress really wants to stay here, should the two concubines stay here too."
Queen Pei waved her hand, "No. You two should go first."
"How do you do that! The concubine must first give her the empress." Concubine Shen Xian looked like she knew the rules.
Queen Pei gritted her teeth and bitterly.
She didn't want to go, but her body was weak, she was weak and couldn't stand up.
However, she couldn't let Shen Luo see the clues, so she could only stand in a stalemate.
"Mother, daughter-in-law helped you up. You have been tired for a day and your body is weak. You must not be careless."
Gu Jiu's hand firmly held Queen Pei's wrist.
Empress Pei was surprised and looked at Gu Jiu subconsciously.
Gu Jiu looked worried, "Is the queen unwell? I stayed up all night, and it was really not good. Hurry up and call the emperor to wait in Weiyang Palace, prepare a soft sedan chair, and lift the mother back to the palace."
"Mother, do you matter?" Liu Yi heard the words, worried too much.
Xiao Qin'er also showed concern.
Concubine Shen Xian and Concubine Luo are in shock, but Emperor Pei is really sick?
Looking at Gu Jiu's worried and nervous look, and then at the look of Empress Pei's face pale, there was no blood, and the two couldn't help but believe it.
After all, Empress Pei is getting old, staying up all night, and getting sick herself, it is also normal.

There are two more changes. The update time may be late, please forgive me.
Entering the fourth volume, the state is not very good.
The plot of the fourth volume has not been straightened out, and sometimes I don't know how to write it.
The current state is commonly known as Cavan.
I don't know how long it will take to get stuck in writing.
