Chapter 20: Pelican pecks

The pelican with a distance of less than ten steps flapped its wings, Concubine Xi turned her head and saw that she was hiding behind the screen, and beside her was Deng Cainu, who had been degraded before, she was trembling and speechless, Deng Cainu was the kind of person who was afraid of birds and birds, not to mention this tall pelican.

Mu Chenghuang was pulled behind the pillar by Tang Baolin, and there were already many eunuchs and palace maids outside, listening to Concubine Xi shouting for help and wanting to step forward, but he didn't dare to step forward.

"Why is this pelican only fierce to Concubine Xi?" Tang Baolin already had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and he subconsciously didn't dare to let go of Mu Chenghuang's hand, saying that he was afraid that Mu Chenghuang was in danger, but it was better to say that she was more afraid in her heart.

Mu Chenghuang looked at Concubine Xi's head full of jewels, thinking of what the parrot told him earlier, he naturally knew that this was no coincidence, the Lingnan General Soldiers presented jewelry every year, Concubine Xi always took the most, and she liked to make good-looking jewelry and wear it immediately, I am afraid that this Concubine Xi was also calculated, and I don't know who it is, she has such a careful mind, is so bold, and dares to calculate this Concubine Xi, who has always calculated others.

The little eunuch who raised pelicans also hurried over, and from a distance, he whispered to Concubine Xi: "Niangniang, quickly take off the jewels on your head." ”

Concubine Xi turned her head slightly, the gem on this head flashed more and more dazzling in the sun, Concubine Xi didn't have time to take it off, the pelican had already pounced violently, Concubine Xi didn't know where the strength came from, and pushed Deng Cainu in front of her, Deng Cainu's body was already half cold, so frightened that she couldn't move, this pelican seemed to be frightened, and pecked at Deng Cainu one by one.

Tang Baolin was busy covering Mu Chenghuang's eyes, and said in his mouth: "I can't see it, I can't see it." ”

Mu Chengyao took advantage of the chaos and asked a few eunuchs and palace maids to rescue Concubine Xi, but Deng Cainu was injured by the pelican and shouted: "My eyes, my eyes." ”

I thought it was just a pelican to be disturbed, but I saw that Deng Cainu's face was covered with blood, and the pelican's mouth hook seemed to have a round, bloody thing.

The concubine who was close suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, that's Deng Cainu's eyes." ”

The screams were everywhere, and when the little eunuch of the aviary used a collar made of hemp rope to trap the disrupted pelican, Deng Cainu had already lost her breath due to excessive blood loss.

Concubine Xi was frightened, and many concubines were also so frightened that their faces turned pale, and none of them immediately thought of finding a doctor for Deng Cainu.

"Go find the Imperial Doctor." Mu Chenghuang said to a little palace maid beside him, who expected that this little palace maid had seen such a bloody scene for the first time, and was stunned for a long time before shaking her head: "Imperial doctor, imperial doctor, find the imperial doctor, slave maid, slave maid will go." ”

The pelican hurt people soon reached the emperor's ears, and only one Deng Cainu was injured when he heard it, and the others were unharmed, but they were a little frightened, and they went back to the palace to rest, Mu Yuanan's originally tightly wrung brows slowly relaxed, and asked Concubine Xi was frightened, and the fetus in her womb was okay.

Gao Yuan lowered his head: "The meaning of the imperial doctor, I still need to recuperate for a few days, in addition, Concubine Xi said that when she was in trouble, it was Deng Cainu who sacrificed herself to save herself, so as to protect herself and the little prince in the womb, and now, Deng Cainu is in the palace, and has been worried about the safety of her father who was exiled in the northwest, and hopes that the emperor can read Deng Cainu's contribution to protecting the emperor's heir this time, so that Deng Cainu and her father can have a letter to their families." ”

Letters to the Family? Mu Yuanan's face was faint, Deng Shaoqiu actually dared to threaten him with the events of the past, for this kind of person, how could he leave him alive in vain and let him live in the northwest.

"You just said that Deng Cainu was injured by the pelican, and she was seriously injured?" After asking around, Mu Yuanan remembered to ask about Deng Cainu's injury.

Gao Yuan said: "An eyeball is gone." ”

Obviously it was a very tragic thing, but Mu Yuanan felt a little disgusting when he heard it, but he didn't show it on his face, and his tone was a little understatement: "Then wait for her to get better and tell her the news that her father died of illness on the way to exile." ”

In addition to Deng Cainu and Concubine Xi, the most frightened is Dr. Tao, who is over fifty years old, I heard that Dr. Tao was dodged when he flashed his waist, and he needed to lie motionless on the bed for three months, and at night Mu Chenghuang sent Baojuan to send some things to his master Dr. Tao, which is nothing more than a plaster and a lily in the palace that can calm down, after Baojuan came back, he still didn't finish the truth, it turned out that this doctor not only asked Dr. Tao to lie down for three months, but also had to pout his butt for half an hour every night, and Dr. Tao was pouting when Baojuan went. Although it was separated by the screen, Dr. Tao forgot that there was a headlamp next to his bed, and the shadow of the pouting ass was clearly printed on the silk landscape embroidery screen.

Mu Chenghuang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and Baojuan said embarrassedly: "But probably, Dr. Tao should still hear the slave and maid laughing." ”

"What's the matter, the master reprimanded you?"

"No," Baojuan said slowly, word by word, "It's just that when the slave maid left, Dr. Tao asked the little maid in the house to send a bunch of strategies and national aspirations to the slave maid, so that the princess could read it well, which was regarded as extra homework for the princess." ”

The smile on Mu Chenghuang's face stiffened, and he said that scholars are the most cautious, and his own master is no exception, knowing that this dog beating depends on the owner, it can't be said that because Baojuan laughed at himself, he punished Baojuan, after all, he could only sprinkle anger on Mu Chenghuang, and then pretended to be annoyed and slapped Baojuan's waist with a pink fist: "You heartless, you have done something bad, let me carry this black pot for you." ”

Tang Baolin has been listening to the side, his expression is faint, Baojuan has not been moved when he talks about that interesting story, the corners of his lips have only maintained a shallow and kind color, but after listening to the word black pot, he put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "Black pot? But I don't know who Deng Cainu carried the black pot for this time. ”

Mu Chenghuang made a look, so that Baojuan and Wenzhi retreated, speaking of this Deng Cainu is also pitiful, she has served the emperor for many years, and she is only a Jieyu, and she has no heirs, this time because of the matter of Wei Wuhou, the family is in trouble, his father was exiled to the northwest, and the northwest is hard, I heard that Deng Cainu's father is an old woman, she is old, and there is only Deng Cainu in the family, the only daughter, and now, the Deng family is gone.

"Concubine Xi is also a person who can do things," Tang Baolin sighed leisurely, "At that time, those who were closer could see it clearly, when it was critical, it was obvious that she pulled Deng Cainu as a shield, but it was like the emperor's report, saying that Deng Cainu sacrificed herself to protect the emperor's heir, and also begged the emperor to let Deng Cainu exchange letters with her father who was exiled in the northwest, but I am afraid that she knew that Deng Shaoqiu had died on the road to the northwest, in fact, when Deng Cainu was Jieyu, she was not her opponent, and she had been attached to her, why at the last moment, I'm going to stab someone. ”

"It's easier to fall into a stone than to send charcoal in the snow." Mu Chenghuang seems to be very calm, Tang Baolin has been chatting in her palace for a while tonight, Tang Baolin and the favored Zhao Meiren live in Xiangye Hall, but Zhao Meiren is the main seat of Xiangye Hall at a young age, this time frightened, the emperor sent an endless stream of people to condolence and gifts, Tang Baolin looked upset, and came to her Jinglan Palace.

"But I always feel that this matter is inseparable from Zhao Meiren." Tang Baolin said, "This pelican is Zhao Meiren's hometown, if she knows the pelican's temperament, and knows that Concubine Xi has made a new set of gemstone decorations, she took advantage of the chaos to destroy the pelican net, release the pelican, and lead it to the place of the poetry meeting." Tang Baolin covered his heart as he spoke, looking frightened, "That's really terrifying." ”

Mu Chenghuang didn't think about this matter, looking at the palace, even Wu Zhaoyi and Li Zhaoyuan couldn't do anything about Concubine Xi, but this Zhao beauty is young and vigorous, and the Zhao family's power is getting stronger and stronger, so she may not dare.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still smiled and said to Tang Baolin with a smile on my face: "Baolin Niangniang, don't be scared of yourself, it's always in the palace, everyone should be careful, I only know that today's pelicans hurt people, and the begonias I sent were ruined a lot, and I am still distressed now, I originally said that I would give Baolin's leaf cuttings, but I'm afraid I can't send it, but the lilies in the palace are very delicate and pleasant, Baolin Niangniang will take a few pots when she goes back." ”

Tang Baolin smiled: "Every time you come, you always give me some flowers, and the people in this palace are envious." ”

"My words are naturally up to me to give them to." Mu Chenghuang smiled lightly, that bright and moving smile was very good-looking.

The two were talking, but Baojuan suddenly knocked on the door outside, after Mu Chenghuang allowed her to come in, Baojuan blessed her body, and said in a hurried tone: "Fifth princess, there is an accident over there in Xiangye Hall, and the high father-in-law next to the emperor sent someone to bring the parrot over for questioning, and Wenzhi is stopping them." ”

"Tell me, what's going on in Xiangye Hall? Why does it have anything to do with parrots?" It happened during the day that the pelican pecked at the eyes, and this night there was another turmoil, the father is not a fool, he and Tang Baolin can see the clues, naturally they can't escape the eyes of the father, but I'm afraid, it's going to be difficult.

Sure enough, Baojuan smoothed his tongue and gasped: "After the pelican was frightened and hurt in Bibo Lake in the afternoon, Concubine Xi specially asked the eunuch of the aviary, only to know that it was because she wore too much jewelry that she attracted the pelican to attack, and there were rumors in the palace that Zhao Meiren, who knew the pelican habits, estimated that she designed to frame Concubine Xi, and after Zhao Meiren heard it, she was so angry that she fainted, and the emperor was with Zhao Meiren from the evening. Originally, the steward in the aviary replied that the pelican net was bitten by the pelican, so that the pelican escaped, even so, it was also killed by the rod, but the palace people happened to be seen by Prince Su when repairing the pelican net, Prince Su recognized at a glance, the pelican net broke out of the big hole, was deliberately cut with a very sharp dagger, the emperor knew about it, determined to investigate the matter thoroughly, all the eunuchs of the aviary and the palace people who had contact with the eunuchs, should be invited to ask at a glance. ”
