Chapter 28 "The emperor is heartless and has no children, and the concubines are causing troubl
After Xu Xueluo got dressed, she went to the warehouse in person.
The warehouse contains the dowry she brought from home, as well as the usual rewards given by the Queen Mother.
Since entering the palace, she has never received any reward from the emperor, and she feels sad just thinking about it.
When a woman enters the palace, the emperor becomes the woman's heaven.
But what is her destiny now?
The emperor doesn't even look at her now, so he can't do anything to her.
She is now protected by the Queen Mother, but how old can the Queen Mother be?
If she does not get the emperor's favor, the rest of her life will become very miserable as her beauty no longer exists.
Maybe you can listen to the emperor and leave the palace. In fact, leaving the palace is the best result for a woman who is not favored in the palace.
But she is not willing to give in!
The emperor is twenty-five years old and she is twenty.
She entered the palace at the age of fifteen.
Have five years of time been wasted in the palace like this?
Besides, if she were to leave the palace, it would be difficult to marry a good man at the age of twenty. And since she was released from the palace, she would probably only be able to be a concubine.
She would rather be a lonely phoenix than the leader among the chickens.
There was a box in the warehouse. Xu Xueluo pointed at it: "Open it."
Suyun opened the box.
Xu Xueluo said: "Take out the small wooden box at the bottom."
Suyun helped Xu Xueluo manage the warehouse. She knew that there was a small wooden box inside, and she also knew that the small wooden box was not registered.
The small wooden box was taken out and Suyun opened it.
Xu Xueluo looked at the small medicine bottle inside: "The medicine powder here can cause people to go crazy. You secretly put it into the incense burner in the Buddhist hall, and then find someone to spread the word, saying that the Buddha appeared and that An Bi was a fox demon. If the Buddha wants to take her in after reincarnation, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will definitely believe it."
Suyun's hand holding the small wooden box was shaking a little. She knew very well that the things arranged by the imperial concubine must be done, no matter whether they were good or bad.
Otherwise, she wouldn't survive.
Several maids that the imperial concubine had brought from home were secretly executed for various reasons, and she did not want to die.
Seeing Su Yun's frightened look, Xu Xueluo smiled and reassured: "As long as you can complete this task, I can give you half of the property in my palace's warehouse."
The palace maid's eyes widened instantly. There were more than five hundred large boxes stacked in this warehouse. In addition to hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver, they were all filled with very precious jewelry, spices and fabrics.
If she can really own half of this treasury, then even if she can't get involved with the emperor, when she reaches the age of twenty-five and is released from the palace, she can use these treasures to marry into a good family.
She was from a small family. If she didn't have any money and was old, she would at most be able to marry a poor bachelor who couldn't find a wife, or work as a concubine for a rich family.
She must get half of this treasury, and when she leaves the palace, she will be the mistress of a wealthy family.
"Your Majesty, I will go and do this for you right now."
Xu Xueluo smiled and said: "You just have to worry about it. Once it is done, I will immediately give you half of the property in the warehouse. If you leave the palace to get married, I will also ask the Queen Mother to let you go."
Suyun knelt down towards Xu Xueluo: "Thank you so much for your grace! I will definitely handle this matter for you."
After breakfast, Xu Xueluo took Suyun to Cining Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother.
By this time, Queen Wei Ruyan and all the concubines had arrived.
The Queen Mother is "not in good health", so the Queen and the concubines must give her a good greeting.
After Xu Xueluo entered the temple, Suyun quietly slipped away to the Buddhist hall.
Since Xu Xueluo was the niece of the Queen Mother, she often stayed in Cining Palace. Suyun had a very good relationship with the maids in Cining Palace.
The maid in charge of guarding the Buddhist hall was called Nian Zhen. She was sitting in a small cubicle at the entrance of the Buddhist hall. When she heard the door, she went to open the door a crack. When she saw it was Su Yun, the personal maid of the imperial concubine, she asked softly: "Suyun, what's the matter?"
Suyun whispered: "I made your favorite candied red cherries and poria cakes with my own hands. You go and eat them quickly!" She pointed to the porch outside, "Leave them there."
Nian Zhen said: "We have to watch here! We don't have time to eat." After saying this, she became greedy just listening to it.
Suyun slipped into the crack of the door, "I'll watch for you, you go and eat."
They usually help each other, so Nian Zhen naturally didn't think much about it, so she went out and let Su Yun sit here without disturbing An Bin.
Suyun waited for Nianzhen to go out and sat on the stone railing on the corridor to eat candied cakes. She quietly looked toward the Buddhist hall.
Yu Jinshu was sitting at the table copying scriptures, while Xiao Chao was studying ink at the side.
The Buddhist hall was so big that they didn't even pay attention to look here.
Suyun specially prepared a small incense burner.
She poured the medicinal powder that could cause madness into the incense burner, lit another incense stick, ignited the powder, then covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, quietly walked into the Buddhist hall, and placed the incense burner on a table. , and then quickly returned to the cubicle.
Suyun kept covering her mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief in the cubicle until there was movement in the Buddhist hall. She was so frightened that she quickly opened the door and went out.
On the desk under the Buddha statue, since Xiao Chao was there, Yu Jinshu didn't want Xiao Chao to know about the existence of the system, so he copied Buddhist scriptures himself.
But at this moment, Xiao Chao's hand while grinding ink kept shaking.
Yu Jinshu's eyes followed Xiao Chao's hand to Xiao Chao's face, and saw Xiao Chao's big round eyes, and his pupils seemed to be unable to focus, which looked a bit scary.
"Xiao Chao, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Chao didn't speak, but suddenly stared at Yu Jinshu. Xiao Chao suddenly threw the brush in his hand and rushed towards Yu Jinshu.
Yu Jinshu was startled. Fortunately, she had learned Sanda and was able to restrain Xiao Chao in a few strokes.
Don't tell me, Xiao Chao, who is usually soft and weak, is very energetic now.
Xiao Chao seemed to be crazy and had a serious tendency to violence.
What's going on here?
Xiao Chao's appearance is very similar to what his mother, Wen, looked like when she went crazy.
Mr. Wen went crazy because he was poisoned by Mr. Zou.
Yu Jinshu noticed the strange fragrance filling his nose at this time.
She had smelled this strange fragrance just now, and now thinking about it, Xiao Chao became like this as soon as this strange fragrance appeared. Could it be that this strange fragrance was poisonous.
Ignore it for now and quickly buy two detoxification pills from the system.
When Yu Jinshu got the detoxification pill, he quickly stuffed one into Xiaochao's mouth and then took one himself.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Chao took the detoxification pill, she became normal and her eyes became clear.
It seems there is something wrong with that strange smell.
The reason why she didn't react much to the strange fragrance was because she had a system to protect herself, which made her special. In addition, she had taken detoxifying pills before, so she was immune to all poisons.
Just like the pair of musk-soaked ears given to her by Queen Wei Ruyan, she was never afraid. Sometimes she would wear them specially when going to meet Wei Ruyan.
But just to be on the safe side, she still took the antidote pill.
Yu Jinshu quickly got up and looked for the source of the strange fragrance.
And it's very strange, why did the palace maid Nian Zhen not react to such a loud movement in the Buddhist hall?
