38. Shui Xiao talks about "allusions"

"Doctor Shang wants to know what's going on with that Xu Feiying?" A few days later, when Yuan Chun was guarding Shui Xiao to bask in the sun for the last time, Shui Xiao made an excuse to abandon everyone and said this to Yuan Chun.

Yuan Chun raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness knows?" ”

"I said: I am bored when I am sick, so I like to listen to some short trivial things in the family, so I know a little about the allusions in the palace." Shui Xiao was wearing a sunscreen mask, and some urns were angry.

"Xu Feiying's matter is also an allusion?" Xu Feiying is just a little palace slave, a dignified seventeenth prince, and he has the leisure to listen to her "allusions"?

"Yes! This allusion can be called 'a promise of a thousand gold, life and death do not pay'. Shui Xiao said in a laughing voice, "Xu Feiying is smart and clever, and she was the daughter of a scholar before entering the palace, so she can also read and write." Princess Linyi discovered her potential and took her as a confidant. Xu Feiying was originally very happy to be Princess Linyi's confidant, but then something happened, and Xu Feiying completely offended the princess. ”

"What happened?" Yuan Chun was very eye-catching.

Shui Xiao didn't answer immediately, but only asked, "Does Doctor Shang know the origin of that noble man now?" ”

Yuan Chun shook his head: "I don't know." ”

In the list of concubines that Jia Daishan and Jia's mother gave her that needed attention, there was no such person as Wan Guiren. Obviously, the information they give is a bit outdated.

"Wan Guiren was originally the biological mother of Princess Linyi, that is, the maid brought into the palace by the late Concubine Chen, surnamed Xu. Xu Feiying, who you saved twice, has the same surname and is a fellow villager. After Xu Feiying entered the palace, he was assigned to Huaishan Residence, and he was still a young envoy at that time, so he took care of this sister with the same surname in the same township. Later, the two of them became the Jinlan sisters and agreed to support each other for the rest of their lives......"

Speaking of this, Shui Xiao's tone paused, as if he was considering what to say next.

Yuan Chun didn't urge him, but only thought in his heart: Just now, the seventeenth prince used the two idioms of "a promise of a thousand gold, life and death" to summarize Xu Feiying's story, obviously, it will not be Xu Feiying who is sorry for the nobleman. So, what is the reason why the situation of the two Jinlan sisters is so different?

Shui Xiao was silent for a while before he said slowly: "When Concubine Chen was seriously ill last year, Princess Linyi fasted and prayed for her biological mother for more than three months, and it is said that she was so thin that she was not in human shape, and in the end she failed to save Concubine Chen's life. Before Concubine Chen died, she didn't know if she was sick and confused, so she asked Linyi if she was willing to go with her, and said that she would wait for her on the Nai He Bridge for three days. Linyi agreed without hesitation, and she began to seek death since the death of Concubine Chen, but from the father and queen mother, down to the palace maid and eunuch in Huaishanju, how could she really let her find death? looked at her day and night, and his father also said: If something happens to Princess Linyi, all the people in Huaishanju will be buried. Finally, after three days, Linyi's breath in his heart was released, and he fell ill......"

Speaking of this, Shui Xiao sighed and was silent for a while before saying: "After Linyi recovered from her illness, she made a few whips and searched for various reasons, and saw that Tian'er beat those who hindered her from seeking death, including Wan Gui and Xu Feiying. Later, when the queen mother saw that she was really making trouble, she transferred all the original palace maids and eunuchs in Huaishanju and replaced a group of newcomers to Huaishanju. Only Xu Feiying, because Princess Linyi resolutely refused to let go, stayed in Huaishanju.

"After the noble Wan left Huaishan Residence, he was assigned to the Nanrong Palace of the virtuous concubine. Concubine Xian Niangniang once slipped the fetus, but then she never got pregnant, and her grace has gradually declined in recent years. She saw that Wan Guiren had good qualifications, so she introduced her to her father. After the noble lady accepted the favor, he was soon promoted to the rank of nobleman, which was comparable to the grade of Concubine Chen Niangniang during her lifetime. Linyi hated Wan Guiren to the core, thinking that Wan Guiren was just a slave of her biological mother, and she was mixed up in a position comparable to her biological mother, which was a great insult to her biological mother. ”

Yuan Chun suddenly realized in his heart: Linyi Gong mainly wants to deal with Wan nobles, of course, he must use Xu Feiying, a henchman who has a deep friendship with Wan nobles; If Xu Feiying cares about the feelings of righteousness and refuses to harm the nobles, then how can Princess Linyi spare her?

I listened to Shui Xiao continued: "Linyi wants to deal with the noble people, and the best person to use is this Xu Feiying." But Xu Feiying cared about the feelings of righteousness, and although she was persecuted and abused by Linyi in every way, she always refused to harm the nobles. Linyi was annoyed and ashamed, so he framed Xu Feiying and burned her feet, and Gong Zhengji scolded Xu Feiying with a cane for forty boards, and demoted her to the Huanyi Bureau as a palace slave. Linyi bought the palace maid in charge of the Huanyi Bureau again, and put on small shoes for Xu Feiying every day, and I don't know if she regarded Xu Feiying as the chicken that killed the monkey, or regarded her as an untamable horse.

"A few days ago, three of Princess Linyi's henchmen were killed by the queen's mother. Princess Linyi instructed Guo Qingping of the Huanyi Bureau to make a death game for Xu Feiying, so that Xu Feiying was also killed with a cane and buried her three henchmen. Because Linyi felt that the henchmen who listened to her were dead, and there was no reason to let Xu Feiying, the most disobedient judge, live. Guo Qingping took advantage of a new friend Xu Feiying made in the Huanyi Bureau to frame Xu Feiying, and also obtained all the personal and physical evidence. But Miyamasa-sama, who was the master of the Miyashoji, guessed a little bit of the inside story, showed mercy to his subordinates, and sentenced him to eighty strokes with a cane, and only beat twenty. After Xu Feiying received the cane, Guo Qingping said to her again: Princess Linyi must let her die, if she doesn't want to continue to suffer, she will cut herself off! Therefore, Xu Feiying jumped into Yan Qingchi first, and later hanged herself in the Huanyi Bureau. ”

Xu Feiying was really wronged.

"I asked her if she had any grievances, and she said no. I didn't ask. Yuan Chun said with a sigh.

"Then did she remind you: be careful with Linyi?"

Yuan Chun nodded slightly: "I have been reminded." ”

Shui Xiao said: "That's right. If I don't sue you for my grievances, I don't want you to be embarrassed, so that you don't want to go over the convicted case of Gong Zhengji for her and offend more people. Remind you to be careful of Princess Linyi, because you are worried that you will be affected by her and become the target of Linyi's frame-up. ”

He concluded: "The little palace slave you saved has a good character and is also clever. Doctor Shang might as well treat her a little better and take her for his own use. You will have a reliable man under you. ”

His words made Yuan Chun can't help but raise his eyebrows: "How do you say this?" Is there no reliable man under my command? ”

Shui Xiao smiled lowly: "In this palace, there are not many reliable people. If the doctor has a confidential matter, I am afraid that it will be more reliable to hand it over to the hugqin you brought into the palace. ”

Yuan Chun looked at him and pondered: Shui Xiao is hinting to himself, are the palace maids and eunuchs assigned to him and the subordinates of the Shangyi Bureau unreliable?

She had long thought that those under her command must have nails planted by the emperor or others.

But she felt that she had nothing to say to others, and she was not afraid of being known by the emperor, Qiu Ningshuang and Yuan Weihou were very easy to use, and Song Qian was also very familiar, so she pretended not to know, and she could use it.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me, the minister remembered!" Yuan Chun thanked Shui Xiao, and was a little curious, "Why did Your Highness tell your ministers this?" ”

Shui Xiao sighed lowly: "In the past few days, I feel that I have improved a lot. Today, I have said so many things to Doctor Shang, and I don't feel tired. So I believe that the doctor will be able to save me. The grace of saving my life cannot be repaid, I can only do my best to take care of the doctor! ”

"In order to protect me, His Royal Highness will tell his sister's old affairs and dishes?"

Shui Xiao sighed: "I told Linyi about it, of course, not only to protect the doctor, but also to ask the doctor: may prescribe a dose of heart medicine for Linyi to cure her heart disease?" ”

Yuan Chun smiled faintly: "So, His Royal Highness cares about this sister very much?" ”

"I can't talk about care. I have been bedridden for many years and have never seen this sister. I don't even know what she looks like, how much affection can I have? ”

Shui Xiao's tone was light, a little self-deprecating, and a little lonely: "I just think: After Concubine Chen's death, Linyi's temperament became so tyrannical, I'm afraid that there is a heart disease." If Doctor Shang can cure her heart disease, maybe her temperament can be more restrained. To her, to the doctor, to others...... There are benefits. In addition, she and I both had early maternal deaths, so we will have some sympathy for the same disease. ”

Yuan Chun said lightly: "It's a pity to disappoint His Highness." What the minister learns can only cure physical diseases, but not heart diseases. ”

In the medical system, there is no psychological counseling function. If this Linyi princess is really crazy, she has a way to treat it; But Princess Linyi is just a knot now, and the medical system has no choice.

There is no way in the medical system, and of course it is impossible for her to be Princess Linyi's confidant sister and help her resolve the knot. Princess Linyi has a high status, she still has so much hostility towards herself, and she is not a virgin, why should she risk being framed by her to influence her?!

"In that case, I'm reckless! Please also ask the doctor not to be surprised. ”

"Your Highness is gracious!"

Shui Xiao said again: "There is another thing to remind the doctor: my father has secretly summoned the people of the Monk Lu Division and the Dao Lu Division a few days ago, and ordered them to visit the high monks and high Taoists with high mana power, and introduce them into the palace to serve. ”

Yuan Chun was slightly amused: What's wrong with the emperor? Are you going to start asking God for divination? Will you be fooled by those monks and Taoists into eating Jindan in the future?

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder. The minister remembered. ”
