Chapter 168: Overboard
Sheng Shang wore a beige collared shirt and lake-green pine cloth trousers, standing blankly in the bamboo forest in the corner of the imperial garden, and thought to himself: "It's strange, I remember that this bamboo forest is very easy to walk, why can't I get out after turning around for so long." Thinking about it, he felt that he had been walking for a long time, and his left foot hurt so much, as if there were many small steel needles piercing his foot. He couldn't move any longer, so he looked down and looked closely, but he didn't see any wounds.
It's just that when he looked up again, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing in the forest, and the saint thought it was his personal attendant, so he shouted: "Wen Xi, Wen Xi, you lead Gu out." When did this bamboo forest grow so luxuriantly. ”
I didn't want the man to stand up suddenly, so he looked back at him and laughed fiercely: "Fourth brother! What about my son? What about my son? ”
The saint was stunned, and looked at it carefully, it was actually the first prince, who was wearing an indigo dark flower python robe at this time, and his face was sallow and sallow. The saint couldn't help but shrink and asked inexplicably, "Big brother, don't your feet hurt?" The first prince clutched his chest and said, "My chest hurts." ”
The saint thought in a daze, "Why did I ask him if it hurts?" He hurriedly defended himself: "Big brother, he, he is unkind and unfilial, and he wants to kill all our brothers, I, I am also forced to do so." ”
The first prince didn't buy it, and he didn't know when, but he had an extra sword in his hand, and he stabbed at the pilgrimage with a flick of his wrist. Fortunately, the saint was born as a military general, so he held back the pain in his foot and jumped to the side to dodge the sword. He had nothing in his hand to parry, so he had to run around in a panic, shouting loudly as he ran: "Help." Rescue. I couldn't help but think in my heart: "Strange, isn't my eldest brother sick?" Then he thought, "No." He's not ......" was about to look back to see if someone was pretending to be a ghost, when suddenly a hand grabbed him by the shoulder.
"I'm going to kill you. But my daughter is in your way! "The Holy One didn't know that this was said by the first prince. It's still what I'm thinking in my heart, but when I wake up, I don't know why this sentence is always in my heart. He sat on the couch in a daze: "This is strange, the eldest brother only got a son." He has always disliked Queen Wang, and then his health is not very good, where is his daughter? ”
Wen Xi stood aside, and glanced at the saint's face with palpitations. Today, the saint has approved a morning of official documents. I only felt that the leader was dizzy, and after lunch, I felt even more sleepy, so I pushed the small table. I rested on the couch, not wanting to have a nightmare. But Wen Xi was lazy next to the pedal under the bed, and he was also confused. When he woke up, he heard the throat gurgling in the saint's throat, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly patted him on the shoulder. Wake him up softly.
At this time, a small waiter tiptoed over with tea. The saint took two sips of tea, and then he settled down, and while letting Wen Xi wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, he moved his left foot slightly, and he was still a little numb. It turned out that when he was napping crookedly just now, his left foot was overwhelmed, so he kept feeling pain in his foot.
Wen Xi instructed the two little eunuchs waiting at the door: "Let people change the smoking bed." lest the saint catch a cold. He added: "Holy Lord, the slave has already asked people to go to the Tai Hospital to get soothing tea." A quarter of an hour will be in hand. ”
As he was talking, the attendant outside sang: "The queen has arrived." Shengshang's face sank, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were very unkind when he looked at Wen Xi. Wen Xi looked aggrieved and was about to explain, Queen Lang had already walked in quickly, and when she saw that Shengshang's face was pale, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and lost her temper rarely: "How do the people around me serve, and Shengshang doesn't know how to wake up when he has a nightmare." ”
Frightened, Wen Xi hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
Only then did the queen reach out and touch the saint's middle clothes: "Go and get a set of dry middle clothes for the saint to change." ”
Wen Xi hurriedly trotted out, and after a while, he took his shirt and pants and came back.
The queen didn't need him, and personally helped the saint change: "Over there in the Tai Hospital, the front foot has just been called away by two Tai Doctors, you want to calm the mind tea, I can rest assured there." What's going on, how to do it nightmare. Tilting his head and seeing the mountain-like twists and turns on the case, he couldn't help sighing and persuading: "You are working too hard, there are children left and right, if you can tell him to do it, don't do it yourself." ”
Seeing her like this, most of the anger in the saint's heart disappeared: "Alas, it's not a big deal. When I entered Beijing, I often had such nightmares. ”
Queen Lang couldn't help but pause when she heard this, sighed, and stopped talking.
The saint also felt a little embarrassed, so he changed the subject and asked, "Is there something wrong with the minister's mansion?" Hurriedly asked the doctor to come over. ”
Queen Lang's heart moved, and she said softly: "But no, today is Xu Aiqing's mother's eightieth birthday, many families have gone over to celebrate her birthday, that girl from the Xia family..."
When the saint heard this, his heart trembled, and he unconsciously linked the dream with this matter, and took Queen Lang's hand tightly, and asked sharply, "What's wrong with her?" ”
Queen Lang was startled and hurriedly said: "I said that I was watching carp with the little ladies, and I accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the pond." ”
The saint stood up and said angrily: "In such a cold weather, her body is not good, isn't it her life." ”
After that, he turned his head and instructed Wen Xi: "Quick, pass my dragon out and take Miss Xia into the palace." Let the people from the Tai Hospital come and wait. Later, he was a little angry: "This kid is too worry-free." ”
Empress Lang looked at him in surprise, frowned and thought about it, took his hand and persuaded softly: "We are not as good as before now, you are suddenly like this, I am afraid that the people around you will think nonsense." Saying that, he said to Wen Xi: "Send someone to inquire first, how is Miss Xia now?" If she can move, she will pass on my message and summon Imperial Physician Chen and Imperial Physician He to escort her into the palace. If you can't move, let the two imperial doctors go to Xu's mansion immediately, and then leave the mansion when Miss Xia is better. ”
The saint seemed to be very satisfied with this arrangement, let out a breath of turbidity, sat down slowly, and whispered to Queen Lang: "I just said, and looked up at a few attendants with a slight pause, and everyone knew the opportunity, and immediately lowered their heads and retreated.
Sheng Shang then continued: "I just dreamed of my eldest brother again, but this time it is different from the previous time, he complains that I did not take good care of his daughter. ”
The queen was surprised: "What? Where does the eldest brother have any daughters? ”
The saint hung his head and said, "That's not it. ”
The queen knew after a little silence, and thought to herself: "This Xia girl's luck is here, and she really can't stop anything." Then he thought again: "Maybe it's true, the first prince has always been thinking about Sister Luo before his death, and once asked me if I had any things about Sister Luo in the past." Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, the saint in front had just dreamed about it, and something happened to Miss Xia in the back. It's just that she shouldn't make any mistakes, otherwise..."
Queen Lang thought about it, glanced at the saint with a smile, and secretly calculated: "He was already a little sick, Miss Xia is fine, if it's not good... Wouldn't he feel even more guilty? Alas, Emperor Wai is too, what is running blindly. After all, the saint is your uncle, can he kill you? Your run doesn't make people's hearts go up and down. ”
In Xu's mansion, as soon as Mrs. Xia heard the maid say that Xiaoyu followed the carp, she couldn't help but look up at the girl sharply. It's just that the momentum flashed by, and when everyone retracted their eyes and looked at Mrs. Xia, she already had an anxious look, and while walking towards the maid, she frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How is she now?" ”
The little maid was so frightened that she cried, and said upside down: "Miss Xia fell into the pond, Sister Shisu asked the slave maid to find the imperial doctor quickly, and when the slave maid came, Miss Xia..."
Mrs. Xia lowered her head and listened to her messy words, and walked quickly to the garden, and the little girl's tears fell at this time, crying and crying and following behind: "At that time, everyone was frightened, and I don't know if Miss Xia was rescued." ”
Mrs. Xia squinted, her fists clenched tightly in her cuffs. Mrs. Xu also followed her quickly, and instructed the big girl next to her: "Quick, take my brand and ask the imperial doctor." ”
Passing through a long corridor and turning a bamboo forest, I saw a group of little ladies standing by the pond in a panic in the distance, and a few people standing in groups of three or five not far away, as if comforting the frightened girls.
Mrs. Xia didn't have time to take a closer look, biting her lip and running quickly towards the large group of people, not wanting the crowd to suddenly disperse backwards, and a stout woman in the middle ran to the warm pavilion opposite with a quilt roll. Mrs. Xia's iceberg face, which had not changed for thousands of years, immediately collapsed, and she hurriedly ran towards the warm pavilion. At this time, a big girl ran over and said to Mrs. Xu: "A mother-in-law who knows how to fish people out just now." ”
Mrs. Xia only felt a burning pain in her throat like a fire, and the figures in front of her were chaotic like phantoms. Mrs. Xu hurriedly supported her from behind: "I have already invited the imperial doctor, just come over after speaking, sister, being a mother is strong, and you have to hold on for Miss Xia." ”
When Mrs. Xia heard this, her heart was settled, and she held Mrs. Xu with her backhand and choked up: "I can save it, I can save it." As he spoke, he followed everyone into the warm pavilion, and Mrs. Xu instructed her daughter in a deep voice: "Qin'er, you take the girls to Ziyin Pavilion to rest first, and let the mother-in-law prepare some ginger soup and pressure tea for everyone, and Sun Huanhuan, you ask someone to add more braziers and furnaces here." ”
The little girls around were quickly taken away by the big girl next to her, Mrs. Xia hurriedly separated everyone, walked quickly to the bed, and swept around with a pair of sharp eyes, seeing that Yingxue and Wenniang were not beside her, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Bring some dry clothes and a new quilt." As he spoke, he took off the quilt and said softly: "Jiu'er, don't be afraid, my mother will put on dry clothes for you." ”
A frightened little face was revealed in the quilt, Mrs. Rao is Xia is well-informed, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes at this time, and she didn't know what to say for a while, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, just change your clothes." At this time, someone handed over the clothes, Mrs. Xia pursed her lips and helped her undress with anxiety, and a round-faced maid shed tears while helping. Mrs. Xia took the time to glance outside, and there were no people on the pavilion and by the pond, not to mention the traces of Wenniang and Yingxue. (To be continued......)
