147.The Concubine of Praise Falls Over the World (12)
Bao Xi doesn't know many people in this palace, let alone inquire about the news outside the palace. In desperation, she had no choice but to ask Concubine Jiang to see if there was any way. However, Concubine Jiang herself is also an orphan girl, without any parents and brothers outside, and no other heirs, so she is really powerless at this point.
Bao Xi couldn't, so she had to put this matter aside for now. Anyway, no matter what happens to Shen Hou, there is still a huge Shen Hou Cun zร i behind her! There's no rush in this matter, take your time.
When Bao Xi returned from the Phixiang Palace, she passed by a peach blossom forest and saw two beautiful figures hovering on the edge of the peach forest.
"Concubine Hui, slow down, watch your body!" Hongyun saw a brilliant peach blossom that Bao Yao was about to fold high, and hurriedly reminded. However, although she was in a hurry, her steps did not move for half a minute.
At first glance, Bao Xi felt that something was wrong with this palace maid. Concubine Hui? Praise Yao! Bao Xi reacted immediately.
"I've seen my sister!" Bao Xi greeted Bao Yao generously.
"Praise? No, Concubine De! It's been a long time! Bao Yao greeted in his mouth, but his hands subconsciously stroked his abdomen, and his fingers moved uneasily, as if he was wary of Bao Yao.
Bao Xi was speechless when she saw it. The two didn't say hello much when they came to Da Zhou, and although she intended to make friends with her, they never met. Now that they suddenly met, both of them were a little unnatural. But her subconscious actions show that she has only used herself from beginning to end. Didn't pay to make friends sincerely.
"Yes! Are you alright? Bao Xi looked at her slightly bulging belly and obviously round cheeks, although most pregnant women do this, she always felt that something was not right. She couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Very good, very good!" Bao Yao replied a little unnaturally. In fact, she felt that she was not very good, she often couldn't sleep at night, and she might be sleepy during the day, her skin became a lot rougher, and she always felt weak and tired.
She asked Dr. Hu to diagnose and treat him many times, and Dr. Hu said that there was no problem, it was just a pregnancy reaction. I was only prescribed a little medicine to recuperate. When he went out this morning, he drank a bowl of tocolytic!
"Sister, what are you doing!" Bao Yao didn't want to tell people too much about her, so she changed the subject.
"I came back from my mother's house, and I just went to see her." Bao Xi has nothing to hide, to tell the truth.
"Do you mean Concubine Jiang? My sister is really capable, not long after entering the palace, she can make Concubine Jiang treat you like her own daughter! Sister, I really can't reach it! โ
Bao Yao's words unconsciously brought a sour breath. Even Bao Xi has a Concubine Jiang to support her, what do she have? She put her hands on her stomach and couldn't help but hold her stomach tighter.
"Sister is joking! Your blessings are at the back! Bao Xi smiled softly and did not argue with her. She wondered what was going on with the strange sense of disobedience in Bao Yao.
Bao Yao was very happy when she heard this, she was about to have a child, but it was not a blessing to come! Happy, she unconsciously took the initiative and found a topic to chat with Bao Xi.
"Sister, will you go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet held by the Queen Mother in a few days?"
"Yes."
"That's just right, we're not far away, let's go together!" Bao Yao happily extended the invitation.
"Uh......" Bao Xi hesitated. She finally found out what was going on with the sense of disobedience on Bao Yao's body. She must have drunk medicine when she went out in the morning, and the maid next to her must have cooked Chinese medicine for her.
Although most of the day has passed now, since most Chinese medicines are boiled, it is inevitable that some smells will be stained on the clothes. Bao Xi smelled a strange smell from the maid. Although the smell dissipated a lot due to the long time, it was still caught by Bao Xi. Musk, safflower...... These are not conducive to protecting the tire!
Although the other things were not distinguished, it was enough to be able to distinguish these two flavors. Musk and safflower are generally good tonics with a relatively fast effect, but for pregnant women, they may lead to slippery fetus. And it's been more than half a day, and the people who cook the medicine still smell on their clothes, so it can be seen that there are a lot of doses. Bao Yao turned out to be fine! Could it be that there is something wrong with her fetus?
Bao Yao, who was obviously running away, directly angered Bao Yao, she thought that the other party was unwilling to go with her! I can't help but regret my self-inflicted sentimentality. She angrily withdrew her hand and let out a "snort" from her nostrils.
"I've had a little pulse diagnosis since elementary school, can I check my sister's pulse?" Although the two may have competing interests in the future, there is no major contradiction between the two at present. Bao Yao smiled and sent an invitation to Bao Yao.
What the hell is going on, she only needs to check Bao Yao's pulse.
"Mother, no! The slave and maid heard that a healer can heal people, but he can also kill people without knowing it. We have the medical officer in the palace to diagnose and treat us, so we don't have to worry about the concubine. Hongyun on the side couldn't help but jump out and stopped.
If this Concubine De really understands medical skills, the truth about Concubine Hui's pregnancy can't be hidden. When the time comes, I will be miserable. She had to do everything in her power to stop it.
Bao Yao was still angry that Bao Xi didn't answer her words just now, and she didn't really believe in Bao Xi herself, hearing Hongyun's words, she suddenly felt that what she said was very reasonable, and she accidentally almost fell into Bao Xi's way.
"Don't bother my sister! I was tired and went back. With that, he turned around and helped Hongyun to leave.
It's just a guess. Maybe there's something else hidden in it! Even if there is really a problem with Bao Yao's pregnancy, it is difficult to say who set up a set for whom! Maybe this is a play she directed and acted in! What do you do with so much mixing yourself!
Bao Xi smiled bitterly, shook her head, and walked in the other direction with Wu'er.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet held by the Queen Mother was really wonderful. In addition to a variety of rare flowers to see, the cabaret show is also a must. The most important thing is that the people who attended the banquet included all the important concubines in the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Some of them hadn't seen King Zhou for a long time, and when they heard that King Zhou was going to show up at this banquet, they even took out all the costumes at the bottom of the box. It's really colorful and colorful!
At the beginning, everyone enjoyed the flowers and dances. King Zhou and Empress Shen sat side by side, and Bao Xi and Bao Yao sat on King Zhou's left hand side. Empress Shen also deliberately placed Bao Yao's seat closer to King Zhou, and arranged Bao Yao's position a little off, which was called "taking care of pregnant women".
Bao Yao was very happy, and had to look at Bao Yao sรจ. Bao Xi ignored her. It's just a seat, what's there to be proud of!
In the middle of the banquet, Bao Yao suddenly hugged his stomach and shouted that his stomach hurt, and the beads of sweat on his forehead fell down one by one.
"Your Majesty, save me! Your Majesty, help me! Bao Yao tugged at King Zhou's sleeve, like a drowning man grasping the last straw.
"Hurry up and send the medical officer!" King Zhou put Bao Yao in his arms, soothed her pale cheeks and said, "Don't worry, this king won't let you and the child have an accident, hold on!" โ
"Hmm!" Beads of sweat the size of beans continued to gush out of Bao Yao's forehead, and his face was pale and almost transparent, but he still endured the severe pain and nodded.
"Blood...... Blood ...... "Bao Yao is wearing a moon-white dress today, and the color is extremely light. A woman of lower rank screamed with sharp eyes and saw the bright red blood stains on the hem of her dress.
Everyone looked at her and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Bao Yao looked down and saw his clothes that had been stained, and he screamed and fainted.
Hongyun took advantage of the chaos at this time, slowly retreated, stood behind a large pillar, and sneaked out while people were not paying attention. Just run away. It's infamous, but it's worth it to be able to leave this place.
But there was one person who noticed her, and that was Bao Xi. She already felt that something was wrong with this red cloud, so she kept an eye on her secretly. Now seeing that she was about to run away, he quickly glanced at Wu'er beside him and asked her to find someone to follow her.
Wu'er had already prepared, took a few skilled internal prisoners, and quietly followed Hongyun.
"What do you say? She wasn't pregnant at all? King Zhou glared at the medical officer in front of him, as if he was about to eat this person.
The medical officer in front of him trembled with fright, but he still knelt on the ground and said proudly: "I dare to guarantee that Concubine Hui is not pregnant. If His Majesty doesn't believe it, even if he calls someone else to diagnose Concubine Hui's pulse, he is not afraid of questioning. โ
"Well, if you make a mistake, I'll give you your life! Come, call all the medical officers! โ
King Zhou roared angrily. Although he expected that something would happen today, he was also ready to see the move. But this incident was so unexpected! In the end, this is the problem of Empress Shen, or the problem created by the fainting girl in front of her in order to be favored.
"Yes!" Immediately someone ran out of the temple at the command.
After a while, almost all the medical officers came, and they went up one by one to check Concubine Hui's pulse, and after the diagnosis, they all shook their heads.
King Zhou's face was pale, his fists were clenched tightly, and the green tendons on his arms were tensed, obviously angry.
"Check, check it for me. Whatever the outcome, check it out. "Whether this is done by Empress Shen or Bao Yao, as long as it is someone who dares to deceive him with such a thing as an heir, he will not let it go.
"Yes!" Rong He, the chief manager beside King Zhou, took the order and went to personally supervise this matter.
Bao Yao never expected that when he woke up after fainting, things would completely change. She was locked up in a dark room, with no familiar people around. The inner prison guarding the door spoke to her with disdain, saying that she was still so young, what was there to hurry, and she could come up with a fake pregnancy to be favored.
"No, I'm not a fake pregnancy, I'm a three-month child! By the way, what about Doctor Hu? I'm going to be a doctor! He diagnosed me as pregnant, and he always helped me see it. I want to see him! Bao Yao shouted like a madman.
In the next room, King Zhou sat there quietly and heard the movements next door clearly. Rong He stood aside, not daring to move.
"Ronghe, you say, is the evidence left by that red cloud reliable?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there are too many doubts in this matter, and the old slave doesn't dare to jump to conclusions." Ronghe replied.
"Yes! Looking at Concubine Hui's appearance, she doesn't seem to be a fake. But what Hongyun left behind was a blood book, and it was a suicide of guilt. The key person in this case, the medical officer, did not even save it! There seem to be a lot of clues, but there is no way to look down. I'm confused, I don't know who to believe! โ
"Your Majesty, there is something that the old slave doesn't know whether to say or not." Ronghe hesitated.
"If you have something, just say it, don't sell it!"
"The old slave heard from the people who pursued Hongyun that they saw the maid beside Concubine De near the place where Hongyun committed suicide. I don't know ......."
"No, it can't be her!" King Zhou reacted intuitively. may feel that his attitude is too resolute, and then he thought about it again and added: "She doesn't have to do this, I only spoiled her during this time." Besides, she is not capable of doing it. She has only been here from Baoguo for a short time, where can she accumulate such a great strength! โ
"But how could her personal maid be there?" Although Rong He felt a little strange about King Zhou's attitude, he still analyzed it dutifully. King Zhou usually thinks clearly before making a statement, and it is rare to have such a resolute time.
"I'll ask her if she has some reason." As soon as King Zhou spoke, he strode out of the dim room and went to find Bao Xi.
"Because I noticed that something was wrong with that red cloud. Bao Yao had an accident, she didn't go to help, but escaped while people were not paying attention. I asked Wu'er and them to follow, waiting for an opportunity to bring her back. I didn't expect someone to kill Hongyun and kill him. Wu'er and they were weak and couldn't save people, so they had to protect themselves first and retreat. โ
Bao Xi told the truth and didn't hide it at all.
"Red Cloud?" King Zhou said suspiciously.
"Moreover, I smelled some strange smell from her, a smell that was not good for the fetus. If she was Concubine Hui's person, how could she cook this medicine for Concubine Hui. โ
"So you already knew!"
"No, I only observed it the other day. It's a pity that Concubine Hui didn't let me check her pulse, otherwise I would have known what was going on! โ
Bao Xi looked at King Zhou's eyes and smiled, "I've been waiting for His Majesty to come and ask me!" โ
"Aren't you afraid that I will doubt you?" When King Zhou heard that Bao Yao's matter had nothing to do with Bao Yao, he was immediately relieved, and his tone became relaxed.
"Don't be afraid! If you don't even have this trust, you don't dare to look forward to your future life. Bao Xi replied with a gentle smile.
If there is no trust between two people, then what does it mean?
King Zhou looked at Bao Xi's cute and cute appearance, and suddenly felt good. grabbed her into his arms and kissed her deeply.
