Chapter 257: An ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade in his arms
Baoyue Tower.
Qing'er has had some free time these days and is teaching Hanxiang acupuncture.
"This type of flat embroidery is relatively simple. You just need to keep the distance right when embroidering. Look, a closer look will make it look more compact and delicate."
As she spoke, Qing'er demonstrated a few stitches, and the outline of half a small leaf appeared.
Hanxiang thought it was amazing and couldn't wait to take it and try it.
Qing'er teaches very seriously, and Hanxiang, the student, also studies very seriously.
Jingyan, the audience, was drinking tea and admiring the beautiful woman embroidering. It was a rare moment of peace and tranquility, which was very pleasant.
"If you're embroidering mandarin ducks, the loop stitch method is best, but it's a little more complicated. I'll teach you when you've mastered it."
Jingyan came forward to look at Hanxiang’s results. Well, at least the general shape could be seen.
What I learned this afternoon was of some use.
"Jingyan, why don't you learn together?" Hanxiang invited Jingyan again.
Qing'er glanced at Jingyan with a smile and said, "Hanxiang, just give up. The old lady and I have tried to persuade her for so many years but to no avail."
Jingyan was about to say something when a young eunuch ran over in a panic.
The gatekeepers, Jin Lingzi and Yin Lingzi, stopped him and said, "Our queen and the princess are inside. How dare you be so reckless?"
The young eunuch no longer cared about anything else and knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, Princess, Concubine Yu has hanged herself. We are here to look for Princess Jingyan and the Crown Prince's wife. We really don't dare to disturb the Empress Dowager."
"what?"
Qing'er stood up suddenly, stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
The young eunuch came out of Yonghe Palace to report the news. This matter must be made known to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager is old. If they tell her about this rashly, they are really afraid that the Empress Dowager will be angry and hurt, so they can only inform the princess first.
"Empress Yu is in a very bad condition. The imperial physicians have already gone. We dare not disturb Her Majesty the Buddha and seek the Lady's decision."
No one expected that Concubine Yu would suddenly commit suicide out of the blue.
Yes, Concubine Yu hid the news too well. Few people in the palace knew that Yongqi had not returned for three days, and naturally few people knew about the quarrel in Yonghe Palace.
Jingyan didn't expect that Concubine Yu would follow the same old path as in the drama. She thought that the Fifth Prince had become much more obedient, but apparently not.
Could it be that Concubine Yu's previous forced confinement of people in the palace only made the Fifth Prince more rebellious?
Jingyan could no longer remember why Concubine Yu hanged herself in the play, but it was definitely because of the matter between the Fifth Prince and Xiaoyanzi.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at Hanxiang.
This time, Hanxiang and Xiaoyanzi didn't even know each other, and Xiaoyanzi was not in the palace, so it was impossible for her to ask for medicine.
Hanxiang and Concubine Yu had only met once and were not familiar with each other.
Then will she still use Ningxiang Pills to save Concubine Yu?
Can Concubine Yu escape death this time?
Qing'er was much calmer and made a decision quickly.
"Of course, we can't hide this from the Empress Dowager, but we have to take it slow. She can't stand any excitement. Let's go to Yonghe Palace first to see what's going on, and then think about how to tell the Empress Dowager. Besides, it's getting late now, and she's probably already asleep."
Jingyan nodded, "Then let's go to Yonghe Palace first."
Hanxiang subconsciously said, "You go first, I'll be there later."
After everyone left, Hanxiang ordered, "Jin Lingzi, quickly take out the Ningxiang Pills."
Jin Lingzi nodded and left, but Yin Lingzi closed the door.
"My queen, are you sure you want to use such an important treasure to save a queen who has nothing to do with you?"
Hearing this, Hanxiang was stunned: "But, Ningxiang Pills are used to save lives."
"My Lady, a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure."
Hanxiang immediately understood Yin Lingzi's concerns.
Yes, she has such a treasure, a treasure that can save lives. Would others covet it?
She only has three. What if someone else gets into an accident next time? Will she save him?
What if all three are used up?
Would the emperor or anyone else think that the Hui people have such a secret treasure and ask my father for it?
If my father can't produce it, will the emperor think he is hiding it?
Looking at the box handed to her by Jin Lingzi, Hanxiang hesitated.
Now she is no longer the ignorant little girl in the boudoir. After being in the Qing Dynasty for so long, she has naturally matured a lot.
Although she got along well with the emperor, she could clearly feel that the emperor was not a very good person.
She had to be on guard against such an emperor.
However, Concubine Yu is also a living being after all. Hanxiang feels that she would be sad if she did not save her.
Yin Lingzi saw Hanxiang's hesitation and sighed in her heart. How could she not know? They had followed the princess since they were young and knew her kind heart best.
"Your Majesty, Yin Lingzi may know what you are thinking. Why don't you take this medicine with you? Isn't there a miracle doctor in the palace? You can take it out when the miracle doctor says there is no hope."
After hearing Yin Lingzi's words, Hanxiang suddenly understood.
"But there is one thing you must emphasize: this is the Hui people's greatest treasure, and there is only one in a hundred years."
Hanxiang nodded heavily, took out a small box and rushed to Yonghe Palace.
Hanxiang was a step slower than Jingyan and Qing'er. At this time, there were already many people in Yonghe Palace.
Hanxiang quietly approached Jingyan and asked what was going on.
"Doctor Chang is giving the Empress acupuncture, but we don't know if it will be effective."
When Jingyan saw her like this, he knew that she must have just gone to get the Ningxiang Pills. He didn't know whether to praise Hanxiang for her innocence and kindness or call her stupid.
If Jingyan had such a good medicine, she might not choose to take it out. She would be afraid of thieves stealing it instead of thinking about it. Who wouldn't want to have such a life-saving medicine?
In other words, in the drama, Hanxiang escaped from the palace very quickly, otherwise anyone who had an accident in the future would have to come to Hanxiang for medicine.
What if Hanxiang has no medicine?
What? Hanxiang said she'd taken all the medicine? Who would believe that? There must be a lot left in Xinjiang.
Don't give? Then grab it.
This is not a life-saving medicine, it's a death warrant.
The emperor was still roaring, mainly scolding Yongqi.
Yongqi should be thankful that he is not here now, otherwise the emperor might take direct action.
The queen sat next to the emperor and was very impatient with his incompetent roars.
Think about Concubine Yu’s terrible son. She lived for her son all her life, but in the end, it was her son who pushed her into despair.
The Queen didn't know whether to say that Concubine Yu was stupid or that the Fifth Prince was crazy.
How could a good mother and son end up like this?
Until now, the Queen still thinks that she was right to dislike Xiaoyanzi at first sight.
She has the ability to turn the imperial palace upside down, so it is not difficult for her to destroy the small Yonghe Palace and cause the family to be destroyed.
In short, the Queen was quite disdainful of the Fifth Prince and Xiaoyanzi.
