"Poinsettia?!"

Mu Tingxue's anger level instantly increased, "The pollen is poisonous, the whole plant is poisonous, especially the white sap in the leaves can irritate the skin and cause allergic reactions."

This kind of plant likes hot and humid climates. It blooms from October to December and is more abundant in the south.

Under normal circumstances, it cannot grow and bloom normally in Yundu in the north, but the people who cultivated the poinsettia were very smart and specially placed the flower pots on the warm earth dragons laid by Kunning Palace, artificially creating a " greenhouse environment”.

"Ming Yue once suffered from tuberculosis. The bronchial tubes and mucous membranes of the lungs are inherently more fragile than ordinary people. Inhaling the poisonous pollen of poinsettia caused allergic purpura. She may have even been passively exposed to the juice of the poinsettia."

Allergen found.

Mu Tingxue had these pots of flowers moved to the atrium away from the queen's bedroom, and began to interrogate: "Where did this poinsettia come from? Which one of you moved it to Kunning Palace?"

The slaves knelt on the ground, terrified.

They had just been severely scolded by the Queen Mother, and their heads were drooping like quails.

"In response to the eldest princess, it was... the man from Desheng Palace who came to Kunning Palace to pay his respects to the Queen and brought her here ten days ago."

A female waitress prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Mu Tingxue's eyes turned cold: "Is this from the noble concubine?"

Yan Mingyue felt better after taking the medicine. She put on a luxurious autumn-colored robe and came over and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this flower? When Concubine Qian sent it, she said it was a rare species from the south and the flowers could be used as medicine. "

"It can indeed be used as medicine for injuries caused by bruises. But medicine is three-part poison, it is also poison!"

After listening to Mu Tingxue's explanation, Yan Mingyue's face turned pale, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He murmured: "I have never treated the imperial concubine harshly, nor have I competed with her for the emperor's favor. She actually wants to put me at risk." To die?"

The queen is very Buddhist and never fights in the palace.

After she realized that the young emperor seemed gentle but was actually cold and didn't like her at all, her heart became cold. He doesn't hear what's going on outside the window, and he only reads the books of sages.

"Facts have proven that it's useless to have a harem in ruins. People will chase you and harm you."

Mu Tingxue expressed her deep sympathy. Mingyue was just a novice in palace fighting. She was very simple and upright. As the Lord of the Sixth Palace and in charge of the Phoenix Seal, she clearly had many opportunities to deal with Nangong Qianqian, but she didn't bother to do it. She only wanted to do it. Lying down and living a leisurely life, "I originally came here to be the queen, but in the end I just became a noble concubine, how can I be willing to live under others for a long time."

Yan Mingyue was hit hard and pursed her bloodless lips.

Mu Tingxue patted the Queen on the shoulder and said earnestly: "The fact that the poinsettia was brought in and still placed in your bedroom shows that you, the slave in Kunning Palace, are a very lively person."

Where to put the flowers, how to arrange the potted plants, and other trivial palace affairs are the responsibilities of the maids in charge and the eunuchs in charge of the brands.

The person in charge of this work in the eldest princess's mansion is Qingniao, who is proficient in gardening and flower arrangement.

Yan Mingyue's eyes were gloomy and her tone was angry: "Is your concubine here to plant nails?"

Mu Tingxue said: "There are nails, just pull them out and make them clean."

Regarding the issue of dealing with traitors, my mother still has experience.

Soon, a eunuch and a palace maid were found out, who were closely related to the poinsettia incident, and were sent to Dongchang Prison to be tortured.

*. *. *

Royal study.

"Your Majesty, no, something happened."

Eunuch Wei ran in with an anxious look on his face, rolled and crawled, and slid to his knees.

Xie Xuanchen is reading the booklet. He still does not have the authority to criticize the official documents, and Empress Dowager Yan does not have the authority to enlarge the power. However, since he married the queen, took in the concubine, and gathered a wave of influence through marriage, he has been able to handle some small matters alone that have no impact on the overall situation of the court. For example, there were fights between ministers on the street, local poaching, kidnapping and trafficking of children, or someone who had a bad family tradition and got pregnant.

"How unbecoming it is for a donkey to neigh and a horse to pant!"

The emperor was very unhappy.

Eunuch Wei looked miserable and said something that made him even more displeased: "I know my mistake, but Your Majesty, the assassination attempt on Mrs. Mingguo failed. Shu Yuezhi was captured in Dongchang."

Xie Xuanchen frowned into the character "Chuan" and angrily shouted: "Useless trash! If we don't arrange experienced assassins, what can a flower boat actor accomplish?"

"Long live the Lord to calm down. Who would have thought that the regent would be so alert that he would ask Shu Yuezhi to present an ultimatum."

Eunuch Wei was miserable. He raised his hand and slapped himself in the mouth. "It's my fault that I was not prepared well. I forgot that monks and nuns need to pay ultimatums as proof... I deserve to die. I ruined His Majesty's plan."

What can he do? He is just a eunuch who castrated himself in order to seek glory and wealth. He has only been promoted for less than a year and his eyesight is short-sighted.

Regarding assassinations, he had only heard romance stories told by market storytellers, about assassinating Qin, uprisings, and assassinating tyrants. These romance books did not mention that monks and nuns also need ID cards.

"That's all, let Mr. Jingyu and Mr. Tianqi clean up the mess."

Xie Xuanchen was upset and took a deep breath, "The two teachers will find a way to deal with it. Don't do any more harm to us."

From now on, important matters cannot be left to eunuchs.

I broke off a bunch of Yuezhi, but it was a pity that I lost the skin.

"The slave obeys."

Wei went to the high office to smash Long Live Lord's errand. He was very ashamed. He knelt down and kowtowed several times, "By the way, there is one more thing. The Queen is sick..."

"I'm not a royal doctor."

Xie Xuanchen interrupted him impatiently, "There is no need to report the harem matters."

He hated those two women.

One was a humanoid surveillance agent installed by Yan Dang, and the other tried his best to give birth to a dragon heir with the blood of the Nangong family. He threw himself into his arms and hugged Goulan, and even put evil medicine into the soup sent to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess went to Kunning Palace today to see the queen."

Eunuch Wei smiled and said what the young emperor wanted to hear.

Xie Xuanchen was indeed in high spirits. His originally gloomy eyes suddenly burst into life, and all the bad luck on his face was swept away. His beautiful thin lips turned into a crescent moon: "I'm going to Kunning Palace, I'm going to find the imperial sister... ah No, I’m going to visit the Queen!”

The emperor came happily with a bunch of condolence gifts.

He must act like a model and considerate husband in front of the imperial sister, and he must not make her feel that he is an irresponsible man.

In the future, the Yan party will be liquidated, the regent will be killed, Yan Mingyue will be deposed, and then hey... make the one he loves the real queen!

Xie Xuanchen thought beautifully.

As soon as a dragon boots stepped into the gate of Kunning Palace, a harsh cry came from inside.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess, is unjust. I didn't know that poinsettias are poisonous. I swear, I have no intention of murdering the Queen! Wow, oh, oh, I just saw this flower blooming beautifully. Who would have thought that the Queen is so weak? Are you allergic to pollen? The sky can tell you, the sun and the moon are shining brightly, I also picked some and put them in the vase on the bedside, smelling them every day..."
