Early the next morning, I took Shuixiu and knocked on Xu Cairen’s door.

When Yuwen opened the door and saw us, her face stiffened, but she still smiled and said, "Yue Cairen, why are you here?"

"Come and see your talented people."

As I was talking, I heard Xu Cairen asking who it was inside, so he smiled and said, "It's me." As he said that, he walked in. Xu Cairen opened the curtain and took a look. He was also a little surprised and hurriedly left.

He walked out of it and was still a little confused when he saw me: "Qingying, why are you here?"

"Come and see you."

"Oh, hurry up, sit down quickly."

I walked inside with her and sat down. I handed Shuixiu a color, and Shuixiu took the food box in her hand. Xu Cairen said, "What is this?"

I smiled and said: "The crystal water chestnut cake you asked Yuwen to send yesterday tasted very good. I was still thinking about it while eating it, so I asked the imperial kitchen to make some more and bring it over to taste it with you."

When she mentioned yesterday, she felt a little embarrassed and said with a sly smile: "I'm sorry you still remember."

With that said, Shui Xiu had already opened the box and took out two bowls of walnut cheese and a plate of pastries. Under the plate were several pieces of crystal water chestnut cake, and on top were two pieces of bright red hawthorn cake.

The color looks bright and pleasing, making people excited.

Xu Cairen took a look and said, "There are also hawthorn cakes?"

"This is an appetizer. The aunt in the imperial kitchen specially made it." I said, and looked at her with a smile: "Have you been vomiting badly recently?"

"It's a bit overwhelming and I can't eat anything."

"Me too..."

When the two pregnant women talked about this, they didn't seem so different. As I was talking, I picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and took a bite. I narrowed my eyes because of the sourness. When Xu Cairen saw it, he also picked it up and took a bite with a smile.

, so sour that he squinted his eyes: "It's so sour! But it's okay, I've been craving for these lately."

She really liked eating sour food. Although her eyes were so sour that she squinted, she still ate it with big mouthfuls. I took two bites and stopped eating. I turned around and handed it to Shuixiu, then picked up the walnut cheese and drank it.

The two of them were eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

As long as the women in the harem don't mention Pei Yuanhao, there seems to be no such barrier.

While chatting, Xu Cairen suddenly frowned slightly and took a breath.

When I saw her like this, I hurriedly said: "Xu Cairen, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing..."

She spoke with some hesitation, and Yuwen next to her immediately became anxious and hurriedly walked to her side and said nervously: "Cairen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"It's not uncomfortable, it's just..." She frowned and couldn't say anything, and subconsciously touched her stomach with one hand. When Yuwen saw her action, her face suddenly turned pale and she hurriedly said: "Talent, yes

Is the food wrong?" After she finished speaking, she immediately turned to me and said: "Yue Cairen, you - what are you doing to harm us, Cairen!"

"How are you talking?" Shui Xiu, who was standing behind me, heard this and immediately said, "Will our talents harm you?"

"Then I feel uncomfortable, what's going on!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Xu Cairen reached out and grabbed her, shook his head and said: "Yuwen, don't be ridiculous, I'm fine."

As soon as I saw her like this, I immediately turned around and said to Shuixiu: "Xu Cairen has a stomachache, please call the imperial doctor over quickly!"

When Xu Cairen heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's okay, Qingying, I really don't have a stomachache, it's just——"

I interrupted her: "No matter what, if you don't feel comfortable, you can't carry it."

Yuwen was very angry before, but when she saw that I took the initiative to ask Shuixiu to ask for the imperial doctor, she couldn't get out of the attack. She looked at me blankly. I had already stood up and walked to Xu Cairen. She leaned over and said with concern: "First of all,

Go lie down on the bed and wait for the doctor to come and see what's going on."

"..." She glanced at me, but didn't say anything after all. She nodded and was supported by Yuwen to go to the inner room and lie down. I watched her lie down, turned to Shuixiu and said, "Go and ask the imperial doctor immediately.

, I just said that Xu Cairen and I had some snacks together, and she feels uncomfortable in her stomach now, so she asked the imperial doctor to come over and take a look right away!"

Shuixiu glanced at me and nodded: "Yes." She turned around and ran out.

I watched her run away, then slowly walked to the curtain and waited quietly. After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside. It sounded like there were quite a lot of people. I smiled lightly in my heart.

For a moment, and then turned around, he saw a large group of concubines walking in behind the queen. The room was suddenly crowded, and the two imperial doctors followed nervously.

As soon as I saw Chang Qing entering the door, I immediately opened the curtain and walked out, saluting her: "Greetings to the Queen."

Chang Qing was slightly stunned when she saw it was me, but she didn't panic and asked calmly: "Pingsheng. What happened to Xu Cairen? Why does his stomach hurt?"

I lowered my head and said, "I came to visit Xu Cairen and share some cakes together. After Xu Cairen ate a piece of cake, he suddenly complained of stomachache. I was worried that there was something wrong with her fetus, so I asked Shuixiu to invite her immediately.

Imperial Physician, I don’t want to alarm the Queen.”

At this time, Xu Cairen was lying inside and heard the noise outside. When she saw the queen coming, she seemed a little uneasy and hurriedly wanted to get off the bed to greet the queen. Chang Qing waved her hand and said: "Don't get up."

Then he turned around and told the imperial doctor: "Hurry in and show Xu Cairen what's going on."

"Yes."

As soon as the imperial doctor entered, everyone stood outside waiting for news inside. Chang Qing glanced at me again: "You and Xu Cairen shared the pastry, are you okay?"

"I drank a bowl of walnut cheese, I'll be fine."

At this time, I heard a voice sneer and say: "This is strange. Yue Cairen and Xu Cairen had snacks together. Why is it that only Xu Cairen has a stomachache, but you are safe and sound?"

I slowly turned around and looked at Shuyi and Lu Xinrong standing in the crowd.

My expression changed slightly: "What does Shuyi mean by this?"

"It's not interesting, I just feel strange and asked." She looked at me with a smile: "Yue Cairen doesn't really have a problem, right?"

"What do you mean, do you mean that I put poison in the pastry to poison Xu Cairen?"

Everyone around me looked at me. Maybe they didn't expect that I would say this. Even Chang Qing, who had been standing aside calmly, glanced at me, but there wasn't much expression on her face.

Just silence.

Lu Shuyi was also a little anxious: "Have I ever said that?"

"Isn't that what you meant just now? Everyone knows that Xu Cai and I are sisters, and we have received a lot of care from her before. How could I poison her? If you want to say that, you need to find evidence!"

Lu Shuyi's face turned pale at my few words, and the concubines around her were used to my quiet demeanor. They had never seen me so aggressive before, and they were all a little surprised.

At this moment, a soft voice from the crowd sounded coldly——

"Whether what Yue Cairen said is true or false, you will know once you try it."

As soon as I heard this voice, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on my back. I slowly raised my head and saw Shen Rou standing behind the queen, looking at me with an inexplicable smile on her cherry lips. I bit her

Biting her lower lip, she said, "My dear concubine? What do you want to try?"

Her bright eyes slowly looked at the table and said: "Since Xu Caieren felt uncomfortable after eating pastries, just ask someone to check if the pastries are right."

My face stiffened.

Chang Qing also glanced at me, thought for a moment, and then said to another imperial doctor standing next to her: "Look at the snacks on the table. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Yes, I will obey the order."

The imperial doctor walked over carefully, picked up the plate of crystal water chestnut cake, looked at it, smelled it, and took out the silver needle in the medicine box to test it. All the eyes of everyone around him fell on him.

He watched his every move nervously. At this time, he slowly put down the plate and said: "To report back to the Queen, there is nothing wrong with this snack."

"What?" Shen Rou frowned suddenly. Chang Qing glanced at her. She seemed to have realized something. She coughed and said, "Xu Cairen only felt uncomfortable after eating snacks. How could he not have any snacks?"

Question?"

"There is indeed nothing wrong with this plate of water chestnut cake."

"How could such a talented person——"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the curtain next to him rattle, and the imperial physician who was checking Xu Cairen's pulse came out. Chang Qing glanced at the horseshoe cake on the plate, walked forward calmly, and said, "Physician Jiang,

Why did Xu Cairen have abdominal pain?"

The imperial doctor leaned over and bowed, and said: "Reporting to the Queen, Xu Cairen does not have abdominal pain, but just some abdominal tightness."

"What?" She frowned: "Then why did you say it was Xu Cairen's abdominal pain?"

As soon as I heard this, I stepped forward and said: "Empress, it was my concubine who saw Xu Cairen feeling uncomfortable touching her belly, so she thought she had abdominal pain, so she asked Shuixiu to ask the imperial doctor to come over and said this.

I made a mistake, and I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

Chang Qing glanced at me and asked the imperial doctor: "Then why does Xu Cairen have tight abdomen?"

"Weichen just asked. Xu Caieren just ate a piece of hawthorn cake brought by Yue Cairen. The pastry is nothing, but pregnant women will have tight abdomen and contractions after eating hawthorn. Xu Cairen just ate too much, so

That’s why it’s like this, it’s not an illness.”

After hearing what the imperial doctor said, Chang Qing took a breath and felt relieved.

I stood next to her with my head lowered. At this time, I slowly raised my head and looked at the charming face in the crowd. At this moment, I felt a little stiff. Her eyes suddenly became like needlepoints.

To me.

I raised the corners of my lips and nodded slightly.

At this time, Chang Qing had already brought people in to see Xu Cairen, and after giving them a few words, she was about to leave. I stood at the door and saluted them one by one to say goodbye. When Shen Rou walked in front of me, she stopped for a moment.

, looking down at me.

"Yue Cai is really thoughtful."

"Let the empress forget about it."

She smiled and nodded, turned and left.

As soon as she left, I felt a cold feeling on my back. My clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and my whole body was about to lose strength. I held on to the door frame before I could barely stand still.

I know that this time today, I have offended her.

The days to come may be more difficult than I thought in the past...

I slowly turned my head and saw Yuwen leaning over the curtain and saying something to Xu Cairen. The expression on her pale face changed several times. She slowly stood up and walked out. I also walked over.
