33. Chapter XXXIII
CHAPTER XXXIII
On August 15, the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, it was another big day, close to the fifth watch, and in the side hall of the Qianqing Gate, all the ministers had already arrived. All the ministers have nothing to do, and they are all discussing the latest news in the court palace recently, and the most popular of them is whether their master will come to the court in the morning.
No one in this hall knew that the imperial concubine in the palace was sick again, but this time the imperial concubine's condition came fiercely, and so far, the imperial concubine's condition has not improved. All the courtiers knew very well in their hearts that their master had always spoiled the imperial concubine as a baby pimple, and they didn't know how many outrageous things they had done for the imperial concubine's affairs. This time, the imperial concubine's illness, I don't know how many people will suffer.
And unlike these courtiers who were in groups of ministers, as soon as everyone entered the hall today, they found that Soniso Zhongtang, who had already passed the age of knowing the mandate of heaven, seemed to be a special spirit, not at all like an elderly person.
Sensing everyone's sight, Sonny pretended to cough a few times, indicating to everyone that his body was still very weak, but he unconsciously expected that the master would stumble over the imperial concubine's illness this time, and not come to today's court meeting, after all, it was not easy for him to hide his current appearance, after all, this was really more than a little different from his state a few days ago. Under such tension, Sony's forehead unconsciously oozed full of cold sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it in front of everyone, so as not to attract the attention of others.
Sony's heart is also bitter! Last night he drank the medicine as usual and fell asleep, who knew that when he woke up this morning he found that his body was much better than the half-dead life of the previous two days, no, according to his own feelings, he felt that he would not have a problem living for another thirty years. But here's the problem. In the past two days, the illness of the imperial concubine has been full of turmoil in the city, how could he not know. If the imperial concubine was just an ordinary illness this time, he would not be so anxious, but as far as he knows, the imperial concubine is not an ordinary illness this time, and the master has lost his temper several times over this matter in the past few days! How could he not know these things!
From ancient times to the present, he has always thought that if someone finds out that he has a strange illness overnight, he will soon be panicked in the world, but he didn't expect that someone would also panic because his illness suddenly healed overnight, but he encountered this situation today, not to mention, today is a big court meeting that happens to be half a month, and he doesn't even have a chance to avoid everyone's sight!
However, fortunately, he got up an hour early today because he was not feeling well, and if he had gotten up according to his original habit, I am afraid that by that time before he could react, the old illness of Suozhongtang in Hesheri Mansion would have improved overnight and spread on every street in the capital! At that time, if he doesn't hand over the miraculous medicine that made him better overnight, I'm afraid that even the gods won't be able to protect the Hesheri Mansion, and he will wait to meet the wrath of his master!
After Sonny figured it out, he immediately sent someone to call both of his sons. After a while, Kabula and Soetu hurried over. They were also surprised to see Amma's expression, this and this, not seen for a night, Amma seemed to be a few years younger as if he had changed a person, and it was really not easy for them to accept it.
Sonny told his son all his thoughts, and Kabula and Soetu listened to Sony's words, and their faces were very solemn.
"Amma, could it be that there was a problem with last night's medicine?" Sonny's eldest son, Kabula, who said this, I don't know if it's because he is middle-aged, but Kabula, who was already very wooden, is now even more stubborn and refuses to take any risks.
Sonny himself is helpless with his eldest son, as a sister-in-law, it is okay to be a Kabula Shoucheng, but if he wants him to lead the family one step closer, he can't.
It's his concubine Suo Etu who has some ability, but he is young and vigorous, and he still needs to be polished. "Amma, who came to you yesterday?"
Same question, different answers, Sony doesn't know what to do. "I have already asked the person in charge of decoction when you didn't come, and judging from the inspection of the medicine residue, there is nothing wrong with the medicine I drank yesterday, it is the same as what I usually drink, and there are no special ingredients, and I came last night at the hour when I usually drink medicine......"
As he was talking, a clear and pleasant voice came from outside the house, "Grandfather, are you there?" I came in. โ
After Sonny answered, Fang Yi came in dressed neatly. Fang Yi was also surprised when she saw her grandfather, originally her grandfather at this time had just recovered from his illness, how could he have been lifeless and his face was so radiant today, it was really strange!
Sony doesn't want to see such a situation, Fang Yi is his favorite granddaughter, she is not only smart, generous, and noble, but more importantly, she has a much stronger grasp of the current situation than her Amma, and more importantly, since falling into the water, Fang Yi's body has unconsciously brought some majestic temperament that has been in the top position for a long time, which makes him like this granddaughter more, he believes that Fang Yi alone can support the line of Hesheri Mansion, Fang Yi is personally raised by his side, He is still somewhat sure of her ability as a grandfather, of course, he can also be regarded as compensation for his sister-in-law!
However, in this way, Sony is even more uncertain about his overnight recovery.
After Fang Yi listened to her grandfather's words, the expression on her frightened face couldn't be maintained. How could things have turned out like this, how could there be such a big thing that could have changed people overnight, and if there was such a thing, then why didn't that person dedicate this thing to the master, gain the master's appreciation, and use it to destroy their Hesheri clan, she hasn't done anything out of the ordinary these days? No, it's not!!
Fang Yi's body shook suddenly, she also bribed people to spread rumors in the Niu Co Lu Mansion yesterday, could it be that the people in the Niu Co Lu Mansion secretly did something to make her grandfather's health greatly improved? Yes!! Fang Yi's heart was shocked into a cold sweat, she suddenly remembered that the scar on the head of the concubine of Niu Co Lu Mansion was said to be powerless even the best imperial doctor in the palace was suddenly healed, and in addition to this scar that Galu Jue did not have, Fang Yi's heart became more and more chaotic, and she began to blame herself, if she didn't want to get rid of her future opponent in advance, Hesheri Mansion would not have become like this. Her heart became more and more chaotic, and the scene of her previous life in the palace unconsciously flashed in her mind. Ay? Wrong! She clearly remembered that among the concubines in the palace, there were two people in the Niu Colu family at that time, yes, it was the two Gege who entered the palace at the same time! She thought about it, so what happened to the other Shugege? Be...... She was used by her as a scapegoat for the murder of Concubine Hui!!
Looking back on it, in the accident of the kowtow of Niu Colu Mansion, and in the matter of the scarring and recovery, there seems to be the figure of this Shu Gege, can it be said that ......
Fang Yi originally believed in Buddhism and thought that the Buddha could distinguish between good and evil, but now, Fang Yi doesn't believe in anything, and at the same time believes in everything, she can be reborn after death, so what else is impossible! If it was that Shugege, then it would not be difficult for her to turn Hesheri House into the current dilemma.
After figuring it out, Fang Yi of course wants to actively look for a solution to the current problem in Hesheri Province. After all, the known enemy is not to be feared, but the unknown enemy who is scary from the shadows watching the killer while they find a way to remedy it.
Fang Yi thought about it seriously. She remembered that there seemed to be a five-hundred-year-old ginseng in the house, and when she got married, she was taken to the palace as a dowry, and it must be used as an excuse to explain her grandfather's sudden red face, but no matter what she wanted, it was impossible to completely dispel the suspicion of the master, if she let the master stay away from their Hesheri family, then how could she justifiably push her grandfather to the first place of the four auxiliary ministers! However, these are all things for later, and the most important thing now is to talk about this big hurdle first.
After thinking about it, Fang Yi told her grandfather about her speculation in front of her Ama and uncle, and in order to win the trust of her grandfather and let him understand the severity of the matter, Fang Yi also took the risk of telling Concubine Dong E that she would soon die as her speculation.
The three people in the room were all stunned when they heard Fang Yi's words, or Sonny was old and fine, and he immediately thought of the same method as Fang Yi. After having an idea, Sonny appreciated Fang Yi even more, worthy of being the granddaughter he personally taught, this sensitivity to politics is not ordinary, and looking at her Amma, Sonny couldn't help but sigh again.
Just when the family in Hesheri Province was glad that they had finally been able to pass this level, Fang Yi suddenly remembered that she had ordered someone to spread the rich and noble character of Niu Co Luge in the city today. If at this time, her grandfather's health suddenly improved and the rumor of Niu Co Lu Ge Qi Gui Qi Gui spread in the capital at about the same time, then everyone who heard it must think that there was some ulteri secret of their Hesheri family, and in order to hide this secret, they released the โกโก Niu Co Lu Ge Ge Qi Gui, and use this โกโก to confuse everyone's attention! At the end of the day, no matter how many reasons they come up with for moving out of the Hesheri Mansion, I am afraid that they will be used as an excuse.
Fang Yi told her grandfather what she thought, and after listening to it, everyone's faces turned iron-blue, and they hurriedly sent people to stop the people in the house from spreading rumors outside. There was a dead silence in the room, and now the hearts of the people were probably praying that this rumor had not yet left the Hesheri house!
God's best thing is to joke with people. Just when the four people who were sitting quietly in the house were waiting for the news, Fang Yi arranged for him to spread rumors in the streets and alleys, and the groom in a stable in order to please Fang Yi and befriend his master, he left the house early and preached Niu Co Lu Gege's life everywhere according to Fang Yi's explanation.
The four people in the room didn't know what to do when they heard the little guy panting in return. The last thing they wanted happened in the end.
It was still Sony that experienced a lot of storms and waves, and it was the first to come back to its senses. He said to Suo Etu, "You go, use the connections of our Hesheri family to pinch off the source of this rumor, and no one must find out that it is from our Hesheri house." Remember, don't blame this rumor on any family, you just make it appear out of nowhere. โ
After seeing Suo Etu nodding in response to his words, Sonny turned to Kabula and said, "You take my waist card to the palace, and say that my condition suddenly worsened yesterday, and I couldn't use this old ginseng handed down from my ancestors. โ
After saying this, Sonny took out the old ginseng he had just prepared to be prepared, and it had been partially cut on it, and the cut marks were very fresh, which should be able to fool those imperial doctors.
Either success or hell, in the face of such a choice, Sonny also hesitated, his age is not young, he can't start all over again, besides, if this old ginseng is really useful, then he can't have a chance to start over. Before giving away this old ginseng, Sony still confirmed with Fang Yi, "Fang Yi, the imperial concubine really can't use ginseng as a nourishing thing?" "In the face of a crisis that concerns the whole government, Sony should be cautious.
Fang Yi nodded affirmatively, she heard the news from the mouth of a grandmother who was specially hidden by the imperial concubine. That grandmother is said to be the most caring person of the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine saved her life before she died. The grandmother saw that she and the Empress Dowager were at odds, and took the initiative to come to her to seek cooperation and help her bring down the Empress Dowager, but at that time, she had already loved her husband deeply, how could she help the grandmother assassinate her husband's most respected grandmother, but now she really wants to go back to the past, why did she refuse to cooperate with that grandma at that time! What a pity! But the past can't be traced, and it's useless for her to regret the past now, so it's better to cherish the present! The imperial concubine died of poisoning at that time, not from illness, and the thing was the sincere gift that the grandmother gave her. For this news, Fang Yi will never doubt it.
Sonny saw Fang Yi nodding in confirmation, so he asked Kabula to rush to the palace with ginseng non-stop.
The whispered discussion around him gradually became low, and when Sony realized that the situation around him was not quite right, he found that he was caught in a memory, which was really undeserved, and sure enough, the older a person is, the more he can't let go of his glory and wealth.
Sonny sighed, the fifth watch day was coming, and he was about to go to court, and he was waiting for what the end would be.
