Chapter 80

In Jingren Palace, Concubine Tong stared closely at Imperial Physician Feng who was kneeling in front of her, and an inexplicable nervousness rose in her heart, "I wonder if Imperial Physician Feng has found out something?" Mu Chang was in the cup of tea he drank in Chuxiu Palace this morning, what was wrong? ā
Imperial Physician Feng motioned to the little eunuch to present the teacup brought from Chuxiu Palace to Concubine Tong, and replied with a straight look: "The slave has carefully checked the two cups of tea that the Xi Gui and Mu Changzai drank left, and there is nothing unusual in the Xi Guiren's tea, but there are some drugs in Mu Changzai's tea that invigorate the blood and pass through the menstruation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć According to the minions, these drugs have apparently been handled by people who are knowledgeable in medicine, and they are not only colorless but also have an extremely light taste. If a woman who is less than three months pregnant consumes this tea, it will cause fetal gas at least and miscarriage at worst. ā
When Concubine Tong heard Imperial Physician Feng's reply, she breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy and pride in her heart.
Concubine Tong sneered, put the teacup in her hand on the table, and scolded angrily: "Xi Guiren, what else do you have to say now?" plotting to kill the emperor's heir, being jealous and immoral, and wasting the emperor's love for you so much. Today, the palace will punish you well, and seek justice for Mu Guiren and the innocent imperial heir! ā
Nian Xilan raised her head, her exquisite jade face was not afraid, a pair of moist and clear star eyes looked at Concubine Tong calmly, and said clearly word by word: "Please concubine Niangniang Mingjian, if the concubine is really vicious and poisons the tea to murder the dragon fetus in Mu Guiren's womb, the concubine should not wait to destroy the evidence afterwards, how can she put the physical evidence that is unfavorable to her in the palace and tell the palace maid to take care of it, so that the imperial doctor can find the cause for Mu Changzai?" ā
Concubine Tong was slightly stunned, then smiled slowly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Perhaps, this is where you are clever!" It is the so-called death and then life. This is exactly how you are trying to deceive the crowd and try to put on a good show to get yourself anon! ā
"If the concubine wants to put on a good show to exonerate herself, she will at least instruct the palace maid to replace the tea in Mu Chang's cup, or switch the concubine herself with the tea used by Mu Changzai, and beat her to wash away her suspicion." Nian Xilan looked at Concubine Tong, and said in a clear and pleasant voice in a calm tone: "There is only one reason why the concubine did not do this. That is, the concubine body has not done anything to harm Mu Changzai and the dragon fetus in her womb, so there is no need to do anything to cover it up. ā
Concubine Tong saw that Nian Xilan did not repent at all, and dared to argue with her, and even felt that Nian Xilan was spoiled and coquettish, so angry that her body trembled slightly.
Concubine Tong pointed at Nian Xilan, gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Come on, pull the Xi Guiren to the palace outside the palace, let her kneel for two hours, and reflect on herself!" ā
As soon as Concubine Tong said this, all the concubines present knew that Concubine Tong was now determined to punish Nian Xilan. Everyone couldn't help but think that it was now almost the moon, and although the snow in front of the palace had been swept away by the palace people, the weather was very dry and cold. With Nian Xilan's delicate body, let alone kneeling for two hours, even kneeling for half an hour is enough to freeze her through.
And a woman's body is the most afraid of cold. If Nian Xilan suffers from such a cold at a young age, I am afraid that she will ruin her body, and it will not only be difficult to get pregnant in the future, but will even linger on the sickbed and hinder her lifespan.
Nian Xilan originally felt that as long as she could make Kangxi pity and pamper her more, it would not be a big deal to use some bitter tricks at the right time. After all, that kind of physical pain is really nothing compared to the pain of losing children back then.
However, now when Nian Xilan thinks of the cold and biting weather outside the hall, she feels a panic in her heart, and her lower abdomen is even more faintly painful, and the anxiety and anxiety in her heart are becoming more and more intense.
Nian Xilan thought about the unusual reaction of her body in recent days, and her heart suddenly moved, and an inexplicable thought arose: Recently, Kangxi often called himself to bed, and his menstrual affairs were a few days late. Tiredness, anorexia, and abdominal soreness all seem to indicate that she is most likely pregnant.
Although Nian Xilan felt that although this child came a little suddenly, since he had already come, Nian Xilan naturally decided to protect him and not let him have any mistakes. What she can do now is to find ways to reduce Concubine Tong's punishment for her, and at the very least, she must delay as much time as possible. If her estimate is not wrong, Kangxi is still fond of her now, and he should not let her fall into danger and ignore her.
Nian Xilan raised her head and said in a gentle tone: "The concubine should have followed the will of the concubine and immediately knelt outside the palace to reflect on herself. However, there is one thing that the concubine must tell the concubine Niangniang clearly, otherwise she is afraid that it will damage the good reputation of the concubine's peace, justice, love and kindness. ā
Concubine Tong laughed angrily, "Until now, you still dare to make quibbles!" Good! Good! Tell me about it. This palace doesn't believe that just a few words from you can make this palace take back its life and avoid punishment for you! ā
Nian Xilan pondered the words and said loudly: "The concubine often feels tired and tired and loses her appetite for nearly two days, and when she accompanied the emperor to breakfast this morning, she felt a little sick to her stomach when she saw her favorite meat dishes on weekdays, so she only used some light porridge and stopped. Seeing this situation, the emperor attached great importance to it, and even if he wanted to announce that Imperial Doctor Liu came to diagnose the concubine's body. The concubine was worried that it would delay the emperor's early court, so she asked the emperor to order Imperial Doctor Liu to go to Chuxiu Palace this morning to diagnose the concubine's body. ā
Although Nian Xilan did not say it directly, all the concubines present were deaf and clear-sighted, and they couldn't help but have some guesses in their hearts when they heard this, and even their eyes changed a little when they looked at Nian Xilan. Among the concubines, some were jealous, some were envious, and some deliberately pretended to be indifferent, but they almost tore the Jinpa in their hands.
Concubine Tong was also shocked by Nian Xilan's words, her body involuntarily leaned forward slightly, her eyes stared at Nian Xilan with burning eyes, and when she was about to speak, she heard Nian Xilan continue: "If the concubine Niangniang punishes the concubine to kneel outside the palace at this time, if the concubine faints because of physical discomfort, wouldn't it be in vain to burden the concubine?" It made other uninformed people misunderstand the concubine Niangniang, and the reputation of the concubine Niangniang was damaged. Isn't this a sin of a concubine? Therefore, the concubine had the courage to make this matter clear to the concubine Niangniang, and asked the concubine Niangniang to think twice. The concubine was willing to be a vegetarian for three months, praying for Mu Changzai and the emperor's heir who died in vain. ā
Concubine Tong Guifei was blocked by Nian Xilan's watertight words, although she was unwilling to let Nian Xilan go, but she didn't dare to insist on forcing Nian Xilan to kneel outside the icy and snowy hall to reflect on herself.
Concubine Tong has always felt that Kangxi is not very attentive to the concubines in the harem, even if he favors any concubine a little more in a period of time, it is more favor than love. Therefore, Concubine Tong dared to manage the harem in strict accordance with the palace rules. However, now Concubine Tong is a little confused about Kangxi's thoughts about Nian Xilan.
has been in the palace for many years, and Concubine Tong has naturally seen a lot of methods for harem women to compete for favor. Regarding Mu Changzai's accidental miscarriage, Concubine Tong didn't think that this matter might really have nothing to do with Nian Xilan, but Concubine Tong would rather believe that this matter was indeed committed by Nian Xilan.
Because since Nian Xilan entered the palace, Concubine Tong Guifei has seen Kangxi's increasing love and grace for Nian Xilan, but her heart, which was originally as quiet as stagnant water, has once again been rippling.
Concubine Tong was very unwilling, she was unwilling to watch the near-perfect Nian Xilan gradually take away all of Kangxi's favor, and even gradually walked into Kangxi's lofty and elusive heart.
If Nian Xilan was really jealous and immoral, and did the thing of poisoning and harming Mu Chang's dragon fetus in her womb, Concubine Tong felt relieved. Because she knows very well that Kangxi will never love a woman who has lost her morality. She didn't mind helping such a Nian Xilan to intercede with Kangxi and save Nian Xilan's life. Because she knew that even if such a young Xilan survived, she would only survive the miserable second half of her life in the harem. Living like this as a concubine is also equivalent to dying, but there is nothing to fear.
However, looking at Nian Xilan's fearless gaze at this time, Concubine Tong suddenly felt that what Nian Xilan had just said was the truth, and she was indeed innocent. Because Nian Xilan, who has outstanding appearance and has already taken the lead, does not need to deal with an unfavored Xiao Changzai at all. Or, Nian Xilan didn't bother to do such pickled things at all.
Thinking of this, Tong Guifei's heart suddenly swelled with layers of frustration. Could it be that she could only watch this young and beautiful woman who took advantage of the world's benefits step by step into the emperor's heart and get everything that her sister and herself had worked so hard to get? Concubine Tong frowned, stretched out her hand to rub the corners of her aching forehead, her heart was chaotic, and her face became more and more gloomy.
Jing Chang, who participated in the draft with Nian Xilan, was originally jealous of Nian Xilan's beautiful appearance and deep favor. Therefore, I just heard that Concubine Tong Guifei was going to punish Nian Xilan for kneeling outside the palace for two hours, Jing Changzai only felt extremely happy, and wished that Nian Xilan would be tossed and ruined, not only would she never be able to give birth to an heir for the emperor, but it was best to be weak and sick, lingering on the sickbed, and even serving the emperor in the bed could not do it.
However, Jing Chang was only happy for a moment, but when she saw Nian Xilan, she reversed the situation in front of her with just a few words, and even Concubine Tong, who was in charge of the phoenix seal and managed the harem, had to avoid her a few points.
Jing Changzai couldn't help but think that Kangxi had only invited her to sleep twice since she entered the palace, and every time she spoiled her, he let her lie on the bed, unwilling to look at her face. Jing Changzai thought that Kangxi might not have carefully looked at her appearance so far, but he cared for Nian Xilan and loved her very much, and felt as if her heart had been pricked by needles and burned by fire.
The more Jing Changzai thought about it, the more angry she became, and she blurted out: "These are just the words of Xi Guiren, how do you know that these words were not deliberately made up by her in order to avoid punishment and delay time under the pretext of delaying time?" Since she said that she was unwell and could not bear the cold, it would always be okay to kneel in the temple for a little longer! ā
As soon as Jing Changzai's voice fell, he heard a cold snort, "It's just a little Changzai, and he dares to accuse Xi Guiren!" How can such a person who has committed such a crime and has no dignity worthy to be in this position? ā
When everyone heard this extremely familiar voice, they immediately turned their heads in surprise, only to see Kangxi striding with a gloomy face, followed by Li Dequan and Liu Shengfang.
Concubine Tong was shocked, and hurriedly took all the concubines to salute Kangxi together. Kangxi pursed his thin lips tightly and didn't scream, but walked straight to Nian Xilan's side, and personally reached out to help her up, but was stunned by the cold sweat on her hands.
Kangxi's mind was racing, and he quickly guessed the cause and effect. Seeing that Nian Xilan's face was pale, her complexion was even worse than when she left the Qianqing Palace in the morning, her slender body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but feel more and more pity in her heart. Even the dissatisfaction with Concubine Tong and Jing Changzai and others became a little stronger.
Kangxi helped Nian Xilan to sit on the chair, turned to Liu Shengfang and instructed: "Xiguiren's face is not good, you hurry up and come over to diagnose her pulse." ā
Liu Shengfang had already seen Kangxi's concern for Nian Xilan in his eyes, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel in front of Nian Xilan, always bowing his head respectfully, except for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, he avoided looking directly at Nian Xilan's face, stretched out two fingers on Nian Xilan's wrist covered with Jinpa, and carefully diagnosed Nian Xilan's pulse.
Kangxi glanced around, and quietly took in the expressions of the concubines in his eyes. After a while, he said slowly: "Let's all be flat." ā
Kangxi saw that Concubine Tong's face was pale, her brows were furrowed, she unconsciously reached out and rubbed the corners of her forehead, couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, and asked lightly: "Concubine Tong's face is a little bad, but she has a headache again?" ā
Concubine Tong pulled out a tired smile and explained softly: "It's all useless concubines." Just now, the concubine heard that Mu Changzai had an unexpected miscarriage, and she made an old headache in a hurry. The concubine wanted to find out about the matter as soon as possible, but the noble Xi and the palace maid who served Mu Chang insisted on their own words, and the concubine was also confused, only feeling that this matter was extremely strange, but it was a little difficult to decide. Now that the emperor has arrived, this matter still needs the emperor's holy judgment. ā
Concubine Tong Guifei instructed Du Juan: "You hurry up and tell the emperor what happened this morning, if there is half a lie, be careful of the head on your neck!" ā
Kangxi waved his hand, "This matter is not in a hurry." Everything will wait for Imperial Doctor Liu to diagnose the pulse of the Xi nobles. ā
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the concubines present were somewhat ugly.
At this time, Liu Shengfang, who was diagnosing Nian Xilan's pulse, was overjoyed, and happily reported to Kangxi: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." Xi Guiren has been pregnant for a month. ā
When Kangxi heard this, he was overjoyed. The thin lips were slightly raised, and the deep phoenix eyes were full of smiles.
However, Kangxi looked at Nian Xilan's pale face, and became a little worried, "Noble Xi's body is fine, right?" Why do you often feel tired and lose your appetite these days? ā
Liu Shengfang secretly criticized the noble Xi for being so tired now, and the emperor really made great contributions. Now that the Xi nobles are less than three months pregnant, for the sake of the Xi nobles and the imperial heir in the womb, the green head card of the Xi nobles should be temporarily removed.
However, after all, it was inconvenient to mention this matter in front of the concubines and many palace maids, so Liu Shengfang could only consider the words and carefully explained: "The reason why the Xi nobles are tired and tired and lose their appetite is precisely because of pregnancy. Fortunately, the Xigui body is healthy, and the dragon fetus in the womb is also safe and sound. As long as you have a good life and recuperate, you will be able to give birth to an heir for the emperor smoothly. ā
