238: To each his own mind
&/script> Yun Qingxue and the queen couldn't press their hearts to go to bed because they had ghosts in their hearts, and Concubine Song and Concubine Yao felt that they were really in a calamity, otherwise, their personal maids would not be taken to the dark room by the guards for questioning, but compared to Concubine Yao's resentment, Concubine Song was more afraid, well, and uneasy.

"Master, for the sake of the little master in your womb, you shouldn't think about anything else, sleep well!"
Sixi and Wufu were released back from the dark room by Liu Neng, and the two were worried about their current situation, which shocked Concubine Song Shu, so they returned to their own room first, and after a simple freshen up and change of clothes, they came to reply to the master at noon.
Hearing them say that they were fine, Concubine Song Shu just moved her eyelids, and she never spoke.
The room was silent, Sixi and Wufu glanced at each other, I don't know what the master was thinking, but considering that the master was pregnant in the womb and had to stay up late for a long time, Sixi's eyes were worried, and he couldn't help but persuade him about the safety of the child in Concubine Song's womb.
"Kid...... My child ......" Concubine Song Shu glanced at her, and immediately put her hand lightly on her flat abdomen, and muttered: "He is still here, he has not left my ......" Before being taken away from Qingmei Courtyard by the guards, Sixi and Wufu knew from the mouth of the imperial doctor that their master had a fetal gas, at this moment, Concubine Song Shu's eyes were panicked, and she kept muttering in her mouth, which made it not difficult for them to guess the reason.
Sixi is a little stronger, but she is not the stupid eldest sister, but has a delicate heart, therefore, hearing the words of Concubine Song, her mind is racing, and she is busy whispering: "Master, you can rest assured, the slave and the five blessings will always be by your side, waiting for you to give birth to the little master, and protect him to grow up safely." After a pause, she said again: "Concubine Lin Shu has been miscarried, although it was determined to be an accident in the end, but the slave maid believes that His Royal Highness will never let this 'accident' happen again!" On the word 'accident', she bites slightly heavily, which shows that this handmaid with a strong appearance and delicate mind did not regard what happened in the garden this afternoon as a real accident.
When Concubine Song heard this, she turned her head to look at her: "Who do you say would do it?" The uneasiness in her eyes dissipated slightly, and Concubine Song Shu stared at Sixi without moving her eyes for a moment.
"The girls who appeared in the garden this time were all taken to the dark room, and it was Gonggong Liu who personally interrogated them one by one, and ordered the guards to torture them one by one, but in the end no clues were asked. ”
"How do you know that Gonggong Liu didn't ask anything?"
"Master, the maids who appeared in the garden today, the slaves and maids all know each other, and they also remember the number of people, and although Gonggong Liu interrogated the slaves and maids one by one, he released them out of the dark room at the end. ”
Wufu said: "Master, Sixi is right, Concubine Yao, Concubine Yun, and the maidservants beside Concubine Lin were released from the dark room with us." ”
"It's not good for me, in order to see His Royal Highness, I hurried to the garden, but the result was good, and I almost hurt you like Concubine Lin Shu, and let you be punished. "Ghost obsession, Concubine Song Shu felt that she was really a ghost obsessed with her heart, knowing that Her Highness was cold, but after the accident was happy, she still wanted to get His Highness's pain, so that she was involved in today's afternoon incident, so that she had a fetal gas.
Sixi didn't make a sound, and so did Wufu.
Speaking of which, I heard that the prince accompanied Concubine Lin Shu for a walk in the garden, Sixi actually persuaded Concubine Song Shu not to join in the excitement, however, once a woman is tempted, she doesn't want to be able to look at the person she admires a few more times, and she doesn't want to be able to get along with the person she admires closely, so Concubine Song Shu knew that the prince didn't have her in her heart, but she still hurriedly let Sixi Wufu help her to go to the garden and brush her sense of existence in front of the prince.
Concubine Song Shu didn't seem to want to take her words, but heard her voice with unknown emotions sounding again: "Ever since I was carried into the East Palace by a sedan chair, I have always felt that Concubine Zheng is too quiet, you say...... What happened today, ...... with her" She didn't say anything, Sixi heard this, and quickly shook her head: "Master, Concubine Zheng rarely goes out of the courtyard, and she has never moved around with the courtyards, and besides, as far as His Royal Highness values Concubine Zheng, she doesn't need to calculate Concubine Lin Shu at all." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness cares about the crown prince and concubine, but during the period when the prince and concubine are recuperating, he is holding Concubine Zheng, and with this honor, Concubine Zheng really doesn't need to do anything. Concubine Song Shu's heart was pantothenic.
His Royal Highness only had five nights a month to thank these women, but Concubine Zheng of Liyuan got three chances in these only five nights, and the remaining two nights were two of their three concubines, one night for each person.
One night?
How can there be a whole night? Your Highness finishes his work and never stays overnight.
Thinking about it, these women are just tools for His Royal Highness to extend the royal heirs, and they are the more prosperous Concubine Zheng, so I am afraid that there is no place in His Royal Highness's heart, right?
Before Concubine Song Shu left the cabinet, she didn't know much about the story between the prince and the princess.
The ninth lady of the Taishi Mansion is talentless, unattractive, stupid and stupid, but for some reason, she was asked by the prince to marry as a concubine, and she loves and cherishes her endlessly.
Completely ignoring the eyes of the world, Miss Nine, who is known for having a silly girl at the wedding ceremony, married into the East Palace.
This is not enough to show how much the prince loves the prince and the princess.
It is said that on the wedding day of the crown prince and concubine, it was rumored that she was suffering from a serious illness and could not go out, so she could only stay in the inner hall to recuperate. Even if there are two concubines in the East Palace, three concubines, and the crown prince is just a time period of five nights for these women.
She could feel that the prince didn't like women, no, no, the prince didn't like women, but the prince didn't have any feelings for these women except for the prince and concubine.
As for the meaning of their existence, she knew it in her heart, and she thought that those people also knew it.
Thinking about this, Concubine Song Shu's heart became more and more sour.
"Master, in the eyes of the slave maid, it is naturally good to be able to win His Royal Highness's favor, but I know that it is impossible, so why bother to hope?" Sixi knew that she was saying good things and offending the master's taboo, but she thought about it and thought about it, and decided to say what was in her heart, so that her master would not think about something that she didn't have, lest one day she would lose her only blessing because her heart was too big.
Concubine Song Shu gives people the feeling that she seems to be wooden, but in fact, her heart is transparent, so she has deceived Concubine Yao and even Concubine Lin's eyes, thinking that she is a shy, silent, and dispensable existence, at this time, she heard Sixi say this, her eyes couldn't help but become complicated, Sixi and her eyes were opposite, without the slightest comfort, just listen to her: "Don't say that in this palace, it is outside the palace, and everyone knows where His Royal Highness's feelings are." Master, the slave knows that you are the most transparent, and since she knows this, she should know what to do is best for you and the little master. ”
"You want to say that bland is a blessing, right?" said Concubine Song.
Sixi nodded.
Plainness is indeed a blessing, in this gorgeous palace, how many people can be truly plain?
It is precisely because it is difficult to do so that many people die in it.
"I know why Mother insisted that I take you into the palace. Sixi was originally the eldest girl next to Concubine Song Shu's mother, and it stands to reason that she has reached the age of marriage, but Mrs. Song has not mentioned this matter for a long time, and it is not right, it is not that Mrs. Song did not mention it, but she never thought about giving Sixi to the housekeeper in the house, in her plan, she planned to let Sixi be Concubine Song Shu's companion, so that she could help her daughter gain a firm foothold in the backyard in the future. In the eyes of Mrs. Song, Sixi's appearance is not outstanding, but her temperament is calm, and the most important thing is to be careful, with such a girl by her daughter's side, her daughter will not be in the backyard of those foxes.
What she didn't expect was that the emperor actually issued a decree to give marriage and pointed out her only concubine to the prince as a concubine.
Although she is only the concubine of the prince, as long as the prince inherits the throne and his daughter can give birth to a son and a half daughter before that, then her position in the harem will definitely not be low.
In this way, his official promotion, and even the fortune of the entire Song family, without thinking deeply, will undergo big changes.
Lord Song was overjoyed in his heart, and when Mrs. Song recovered from the shock, although she was also happy that her daughter was fortunate to be a royal woman, she was more worried about her daughter and deeply regretful.
Since ancient times, how difficult it is to be a royal woman, Mrs. Song has never seen it, and she also knows a thing or two, not to mention that her only concubine was originally going to be a wife, but because of a holy decree, she became the prince's concubine.
If the water in the backyard of an ordinary high-gate mansion is deep, then the water in the royal backyard is undoubtedly deeper.
What's more, her daughter is just a lowly concubine, how can she survive safely in the future?
Mrs. Song thought a lot, which prompted her to tell Sixi again and again before Concubine Song Shu was carried into the East Palace, how to take care of her daughter in the palace as much as possible.
Sixi has served Mrs. Song for many years, and naturally knows the deep meaning in every sentence she said, that is, she can't let her young lady be calculated, so that she will die in the palace.
In accordance with Gong Yan's order, Liu Neng skillfully and without a trace released the illness suffered by the crown prince and concubine, and this tone is gradually improving. When the news spread in the East Palace, there was no one in the entire palace who did not know about it, as long as there were people. The most unexpected thing is that within an hour after the early dynasty dispersed, the streets and alleys of Beijing were also rumored that the crown prince and concubine suddenly suffered from the evil disease on the wedding day, which was expected to be completely cured within a month.
The warm sun shines through the window screen, casting dappled light and shadow on the indoor ground, and Concubine Lin Shu's face is pale, and her heart is lying on the bed like ashes.
In just one day's work, no, in less than half an hour, she lost everything. Yes, she did lose everything, the child in her womb, and the kindness of His Highness to her......
Twins, it is twins that flow from her womb, and how can a woman who has not protected her children get the attention of the child's father again?
She couldn't figure out who was so cruel to her, who made her fall from the clouds into the deep valley, who made her destitute? Who is who?
Desolate tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, into the green silk of her sideburns, and after a while, the wisps of green silk were soaked.
"Master...... It is the slave who deserves death, and the slave who deserves death...... If you feel uncomfortable, scold the slave and maid to get angry, please stop holding yourself like this......" Lu'e knelt on the ground in a bloodstained dress, haggard and grief. Since she was helped back to Cuiming Pavilion by the green mandarin duck last night, since she walked into the master's house, from kneeling in front of the master's bed, she has never gotten up.
If she hadn't reached out and dragged her master, if she hadn't worked so hard, the master wouldn't have fallen to the ground and would not have left the twins. Twins, the master is pregnant with twins, but because she is all gone! Lu E whimpered, her voice was hoarse: "The slave deserves death, the master, the slave deserves death......" Concubine Lin Shu woke up from her slumber in the middle of the night, first stroked her flattened abdomen, and then her eyes were empty and she didn't say a word.
The condition of the green mandarin duck at this time is no different from that of Lu E, both of them are miserable and miserable, and they are embarrassed.
"Master, it's the slave and maid who are incompetent, who didn't protect you, so that you were frightened, and thus lost the baby, the slave and the maid know that it's too late to say anything, but the slave and the maid don't want to see the master like this, and don't want the master to be sick by himself...... Master, if you want to cry, cry out loud, don't hold yourself back like this!"
"Are you alright?"
Concubine Lin suddenly made a weak voice from her mouth.
Lu E and Lu Yuan's bodies trembled, and they immediately knelt down to the side of the bed in excitement, and looked at their master with wide red and swollen eyes. Concubine Lin Shu's empty eyes gradually had a divine light, she turned her head slowly, and saw the embarrassed appearance of her two henchmen and maids: "You were taken for questioning?" The appearance of the two girls made it difficult for her not to think about it.
"Hmm......" Lu E and Lu Yuan nodded in unison, and Lu E choked up: "Master, the slave and maid have not turned their backs on the master, and the slave and maid have not thought of harming the little master in the master's womb!"
"Silly girl, I believe you. ”
Concubine Lin Shu tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to squeeze out a smile, but she couldn't do anything, in the end, she had to give up, her voice was weak, and she said slowly: "Your actions at that time were to protect me from being bitten by poisonous snakes, but I myself was so frightened that I was so weak that I was weak on my legs and accidentally fell to the ground." ”
"It's the slave who is reckless, it's the slave who doesn't protect the master, woo woo......"
Lu'e cried so hard that she couldn't stop crying, and kowtowed her head with a "bang, bang".
"Get up...... Get up......" Concubine Lin took her eyes off them, forced back the tears in her eyes, and said, "You look ugly now, hurry back to the house and clean up." Lu E and Lu Yuan got up from the ground, and Lu Yuan said in a hoarse voice: "Master, yesterday's incident can only be regarded as an accident." ”
When Concubine Lin heard this, she was not surprised at all, she said, "I know." "Although the large and small gardens in the palace are cleaned by palace people every day, even the lakes near the imperial garden, as well as the lotus ponds of different sizes in the palace, which are also carefully cleaned by the palace people every few days, but Rao is like this, who can guarantee that there will be no poison hidden in the huge palace?
This is especially true for shade-loving species like snakes.
From this, it is not difficult to see that the person who calculated her and caused her to have a miscarriage is really clever and tight.
Concubine Song Shu is pregnant, it is impossible to calculate her, and there is no need to calculate her; Concubine Yao Shu is a paper tiger, she seems to have some ability, but in fact she has no courage to do such a thing; Concubine Zheng almost does not leave the courtyard, let alone interact with others, and by chance she sees her side, that woman gives people a sense of no desire and no desire in her bones, and has no quarrel with the world, therefore, such a woman, if she wants to say that she will give birth to the mind to calculate others, she does not believe it; Prince, Princess? Regardless of whether the crown prince and concubine are idiots, just with His Royal Highness's intentions for her, there is no need to get along with her little concubine.
The rest is the Snow Side Concubine......
So far, she has not accepted the concubine, and she doesn't care much about His Highness, but the woman's intuition tells her that Concubine Xuebian cares about His Royal Highness, so can she think so from this - because of His Royal Highness's heart, because she passed out the happy pulse, so she was resentful and tried to cause her to have a miscarriage?
Concubine Lin Shu was almost about to tell the truth, but she suddenly thought of another person - the queen.
Before being carried into the East Palace, her father called her to the study, analyzed the situation in the next court, and made a decomposition of all the princes, and at the end, he also told her to meet the queen in the palace to minimize her sense of existence, so as not to be targeted by the queen and lead to unpredictable disasters.
At that moment, she didn't take her father's words to heart, and even felt that her father was too nervous, she was just a little concubine in the prince's backyard, what chance could she see the queen? But she took another thing her father said to heart.
- Although the crown prince is currently the prince, he can't say anything until the moment of inheriting the unification.
Since she became literate, she has read a lot of history books, and knows that there are many cases in history where the crown prince has been deposed, and she has missed the throne at her fingertips.
"Yue'er, as a father, I don't think much of the prince. ”
"Why?"
"You girl has been smart since she was a child, I really don't know what my father means?"
"Daughter...... My daughter doesn't know ......."
"My father knows that you are playing stupid, but my father has to nag you a few more words. ”
The father said, and the daughter listened. ”
“…… The crown prince's biological mother, that is, the first queen, and King Ning's mother are siblings, from this point of view, King Ning's son-in-law status is as noble as the prince. The emperor named him the prince as soon as he was born, in the final analysis, because the emperor loved the queen, but don't forget, the first queen has been dead for many years, and during this period of time, it was his sister who accompanied the holy driver, and the emperor was in full bloom, and the relationship between the prince and the emperor, as well as the relationship with the prince's mansion was not close, which invisibly made him lose the two major bargaining chips to stabilize the position of the prince. ”
The daughter disagreed with her father's words. The crown prince is not only a valuable character, but also both civil and military, and his strategy is unmatched, how can a candidate like him be deposed one day?"
"When will the father tell you bluntly that the crown prince will be abolished? The father just analyzes the prince and King Ning, who is more likely to sit on the ......?"
"Still not a meant?"
"You stupid girl, listen to your father first. ”
"My daughter didn't want to hear it. ”
"If you don't want to hear it, you have to listen to it. You're right, the crown prince is outstanding in all aspects, and even after Ning Yuanhou, he won the title of the god of war, but it is precisely because he is too outstanding that the emperor will have a sense of crisis. And this sense of crisis will prompt the emperor to be suspicious of him, and once he does something that is not in line with the holy will, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be condemned. Once suspicion is born, it is difficult to dispel, and at this time, the fourth highness, who is also a prince and also has the status of a noble concubine, is likely to be the latecomer......"
"It's impossible, right? Although the queen is the successor, she is also the prince's aunt, and she should not support the fourth highness to covet the crown prince's position as prince. ”
"What is impossible, in the face of power, everything is possible, besides, the conditions of the Fourth Highness are not worse than the crown prince in all aspects, do you think he is willing to be only a prince?"
……
Concubine Lin Shu recalled the conversation with her father, and slowly, her hands at her side clasped together, and followed her secretly: "Will it be the queen? In order to prevent Her Royal Highness from sitting firmly in the position of the prince after having an heir, the queen made a move...... "There is this possibility, the queen has a good reason to do so." Suddenly, a bright light flashed in her mind, Concubine Yun and the queen are aunts and nieces, so could it be that they joined forces to cause her abortion?
Just as Concubine Yao knows Concubine Lin Shu, Concubine Lin is very smart, and she is better than her in all aspects, no, Concubine Lin is really the truth, and she guessed that her abortion was inseparable from Yun Qingxue and the queen.
Irritable, Concubine Lin Shu was instantly irritable after guessing.
She didn't understand why her father had to tell her so much, did ...... Could it be that my father belonged to King Ning......
"Father, if you really have such thoughts, can you tell your daughter where you put your daughter? Is it a funeral object? Is it a funeral object that His Royal Highness lost to King Ning?" Covering her mouth, Concubine Lin Shu's eyes were full of sorrow, and she let out an extremely suppressed cry from between her fingers.
Vaguely heard footsteps coming from outside the door, Concubine Lin Shu, who was in distress, had to try her best to stop crying, adjust her mood, and even secretly comfort herself: "That's what I thought, my father just analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of His Royal Highness and King Ning according to common sense, this does not mean that he wants King Ning to sit on that chair in the future, besides, I am now His Royal Highness's concubine, in the eyes of others, my father is undoubtedly on the side of the East Palace, how can I ...... How can you do something irrational?"
"Master, there is a word in the East Palace that the illness of the crown prince and concubine is improving. ”
