Chapter 249, Cui's abortion
Seeing the concubine go away, Hao Ming suddenly thought that although the emperor summoned the concubine five or six times a month, he rarely went to the concubine's Yongshou Palace. And the number of times she was summoned to the Palace of Raising the Heart to sleep, although it was about the same as the concubine, and even less than the concubine this month, but the emperor had to eat in the palace every three or five days, although nominally he came to see the pig. But the emperor has five princesses, but he doesn't see other princesses so often.
Thinking about these secretly, it can be seen that although the concubine is favored, her weight in the emperor's mind is far from what the concubine can shake.
In this way, Bo Ming was a little relieved. Because after the concubine hit the pillar, she was favored at first glance, but she had to thin out her grace, and she was still a little uneasy at first, but now it seems that she is indeed too worried.
After lunch, I coaxed the pig girl to sleep, and then listened to the emperor: "Yesterday, Prince Kang went to the fold again to ask Lihui Zhou to be the prince, and I have already approved." ”
He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his knees to thank him. Thinking to myself, the marriage date of the little sister Yingwan and Hui Zhou is at the end of next month, and at this time, the position of Hui Zhou's son is set, and the marriage can also be in accordance with the specifications of the prince's son, and it will be more solemn and decent at that time. Many of the makeup that could not be added can now be sent back to Nalan Mansion, where they are supposed to be.
The emperor smiled and took her hand, and said with a smile: "I know that you have always loved this little sister the most, and after marriage, she is also a royal blessing, if you miss it, you can call into the palace at any time to talk to you." ”
Hao Ming couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Although the eldest sister Yingrong has been honored as the prince of Pingjun, it has been less than three years since the death of the old Pingjun king Nersu. Wearing filial piety on the body, it is really inconvenient to hand over the sign into the palace. I haven't seen my eldest sister for a long time, and I don't know how she's doing.
"That's right. I haven't seen your Hai Dongqing for days. The Emperor looked at the large empty bird's nest under the verandah of the hall.
The bird's nest was made of soft hay by the chirping men. Qing'er is not a fire ball, it doesn't like the closed space in the hall that can't spread its wings, so it nests under the porch all winter, although it is not to shelter from the wind and cold, but it is still possible to block the rain and snow.
"The concubine never confined it, and flew out to forage for food when she wanted to. When Hai Dongqing had just returned to the palace. The emperor also specially asked someone to make a huge gilded bird cage, but unfortunately Qing'er didn't go in when he died, and the beautiful big cage could only become an ornament. It was the straw nest that was put on the shelf outside the temple. became Qing'er's favorite. Qing'er said that it was much softer and warmer than its nest in Mulan!
However, Qing'er didn't fly out to forage for food, but entered the world of the medicine garden. It ate so much jujube paste and drank all the medicinal spring water. Now it seems that it is about to be promoted to an intermediate spirit beast. So he nestled next to the medicinal fountain and fell into a deep sleep. I guess it will take seven or eight days to wake up.
The emperor nodded: "Hai Dongqing really can't be restrained. Immediately, the emperor said worriedly, "Won't it come?"
Hao Ming couldn't help laughing, but he was busy and said firmly: "Don't worry, it will definitely come back." Hai Dongqing once recognized the Lord, and his loyalty was tight. ”
The Emperor couldn't help but glance at him again, "Why did you recognize you as Lord so easily?" - the Emperor said with a very incomprehensible look.
Humming was a little fried. Ah, what do you mean by this? Can't the old lady surrender Hai Dongqing?!
At this time. Wang Qin rushed in in a panic, and knelt on the ground with a puff and played: "Your Majesty, Cui Chang has a miscarriage!!"
The emperor's face stiffened, and he stood up with a swish, "How can a good person have a miscarriage?!"
Bo Ming was also shocked, and couldn't help but say: "Cui Chang is five months pregnant, and the fetal phase is already stable, how can he have a miscarriage?!"
Wang Qin hurriedly said: "The second princess was playing on the platform outside the main hall, and somehow fell from above, Cui Changzai went up to catch it in order to save the second princess, and the second princess was fine, but Cui Changzai fell and saw red on the spot, when the imperial doctor rushed, Cui Changzai had already miscarried...... Wang Qin paused, and said cautiously: "It was a male fetus that fell." ”
Ming's heart trembled, it's been five months, and the child who fell down ...... I'm afraid that my hands and feet will grow, right?
The second princess is at a fun-loving age, and it is not strange that she would fall off the platform, but it is strange why the Cui family would save the queen's child? If it is just out of pity for the child, although the platform is high, it will not fall people to death, at most they will break their heads and bleed. And she is pregnant, if she is not careful, she will have a miscarriage!
Secondly, how much weight can a child of the second princess have, and when a child presses up, Cui's falls and falls all of a sudden?
This is so unusual!
When Ming followed the emperor to Changchun Palace, he saw that under the three-foot-high platform on the west side of the main hall, a piece of red blood had already soaked into the soil, and the faint fishy sweet smell could still be smelled.
And in the west side hall, it is even thicker with blood, Cui Chang is lying on the bed inside, his face is as pale as a withered leaf, his eyes are sad, his expression is in a trance, as if his soul is free, his whole face is full of green energy, and he can't bear to see it.
The queen wiped away her tears and said: "It's all because the concubine didn't take good care of the second princess, so something like this happened, please punish the emperor." With that, the queen knelt down before the emperor.
The emperor closed his eyes deeply, and he couldn't bear to look at Cui Shi, who seemed to have been drained of his soul on the bed inside, and helped the queen up with one hand, and said: "No wonder the queen is in this matter, it is the servants under her who are lazy and don't take good care of Ji Lantai, and send it to the Prudent Criminal Division to deal with it." ”
The queen's expression froze, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said "yes".
The Emperor asked again, "What about Gilanti?"
The queen said with red eyes: "Ji'er was really frightened when she saw Cui's appearance covered in blood, and she just fell asleep at this time." ”
The Emperor let out a long breath and said, "I'll take a look." Then he looked at Humming and said, "Concubine Shu will stay with the Cui family for a while." ”
Hao Ming knew that the emperor didn't know how to face the Cui family and his son, who was gone all of a sudden...... He obediently answered "yes" and respectfully watched the emperor leave.
With a sigh, he walked to the bed inside, pulled a chair and sat down, and silently looked at the broken Cui Changzai on the bed.
There was a long silence......
The side hall is burning with the scented orchid incense, and the wisps are endless.
Cui Shi turned his head to look at Xiao Ming, and said slowly: "Concubine Shu doesn't have to be sad for the concubine, the concubine's child ...... It was a long time ago. ”
"What?!" Mingming was momentarily stunned.
Cui Shi supported her weak body and climbed up, she gasped with difficulty, pulled a pillow and leaned on her back, and then barely straightened her body, "Niang Niang knows, if the stillborn is not brought down in time, I am afraid that even the mother will be saved." ”
Hao Ming's face was full of disbelief: "But why didn't the imperial doctor return to the emperor, you just left a stillborn baby?"
Cui Shi suddenly sneered, "The Imperial Physician Qi who came here is the queen's person, how dare he report it indiscriminately?!"
Hao Ming suddenly understood that the Cui family was taken care of by the queen, and if the fetus was stillborn, the queen would be the first to blame, so the queen concealed the stillbirth. Just asked the doctor to report that it was a male fetus - this is not a deception, but just a concealment.
But...... Cui's fetus is good, how could he suddenly be stillborn?!
"Is it because of the whip that the concubine beat when I was in Mulan, or was it because of the tires on the way back?"
Cui Shi shook her head deeply, and she smiled bitterly: "I don't know what the concubine was killed by until now, but it is only clear that there is nothing wrong with the concubine's appearance before returning to the palace." It was only after returning to the palace that he was plotted. The concubine's fetus has been five months old, and there was a fetus moving, but the concubine couldn't feel any movement, so she knew that the concubine's fetus had already died in the womb......" As he spoke, Cui's eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and two lines of clear tears flowed down. Her hand landed on her lower abdomen, which was no longer prominent, and her face was full of deep sadness.
"Yes...... Queen?" asked Ming.
Cui's eyes were filled with hatred, "The concubine doesn't have any evidence, and she doesn't even know what her child is damaged now, but - except for the queen, will it be someone else?!"
If it is really as Cui Shi guessed, the queen not only wants to kill the child in her womb, but also wants to get rid of Cui Shi's life! Since Cui Shi has already been stillborn, it is impossible for the imperial doctor not to diagnose it, but before that, the imperial doctor's return has always been that Cui Shi wants to be stable! Now that she has been born suddenly, the emperor is so surprised.
Did the queen want to take the opportunity to plan something by concealing Cui's stillbirth? Unfortunately, Cui's own sense of it was more decisive, and she was even more decisive in saving the second princess and was stillborn in her womb and saved her life. Naturally, the queen's plan is also shattered.
"After I was four months old, the queen often told her concubines to let her go out and walk around more, so as to save the time when she was about to give birth, and she would not have the strength to give birth. Cui Shi gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "But the concubine really doesn't dare to go out, for fear that as soon as she leaves the Changchun Palace, she will be unexplained and unexplained, and she will be planted on someone else's head by the queen!!"
Yes, the queen naturally doesn't want to waste Cui's fetus......
However, what method did the queen use to deal with the Cui family? It stands to reason that the Cui family should be on guard against the queen everywhere, and she should not be contaminated with the food that the queen rewards. Ming looked at the things in the side hall, and his eyes finally fell on the smoker.
Cui Shi said: "The smoker has not been used for several months, and the concubine has a bloody miscarriage today." ”
Humming fell silent, yes, spices are the easiest to get your hands on......
He roamed the hall a few more times, but finally couldn't notice anything wrong. (To be continued.) )
