14. Shot

Thanks to Song Chen's good interest and good body, Chu Xue couldn't sleep enough, she got up early in the morning, she had to get up with spirit to serve him and dress, Song Chen looked at her and didn't wake up, and said with a smile: "Do you want to go to sleep anymore?" ”

She pursed her lips, "The concubine doesn't dare, I'll go to the princess to say goodbye later." ”

Now that the ladies in the palace have gathered, of course, the daily court invitations must not be slackened.

Well-behaved and polite, Song Chen likes her the most, so his voice is more gentle, "Then rest more at noon, I will be very busy recently, and I may not be able to come over to accompany you during the day." ”

The burden of solving the spring drought in Weizhou has fallen on his shoulders, and it is imminent, since he has returned to Yanzhou, it is indeed time to get busy.

"Hmm." She nodded and tied his belt for him, "The prince should also pay attention to his body and don't work too hard." ”

Already dressed neatly Wen Cun said almost what he said, but he stood in place and didn't move, Chu Xue looked up at him suspiciously, but saw him raising his eyebrows and looking at herself without saying a word, she thought about it and immediately understood, there was still a procedure missing. So she bent the corners of her mouth, lifted her face, and tiptoed her cherry lips on his.

He grabbed the beauty in front of him, and stroked the curve that made him crazy last night, before he was finally satisfied, and the corner of his mouth smiled out of the door.

Danwei Garden.

Because he still had to freshen up after serving Song Chen, when Chu Xue arrived, Li Jiaoyun and Xia Wanyin had already sat for a while. After saluting separately, Xu Jinhe asked her with a pleasant face, "Last night, the prince went to Wantang Garden?" ”

In fact, the delicate and good look on her face had replaced her answer, and she hung her head, "Yes." ”

"Sister Lao has worked hard to serve the prince."

After Xu Jinhe finished caring, he glanced at the other two female relatives.

In Wang Fufei for a day or two, Li Jiaoyun's gentle face could not see ups and downs.

Xia Wanyin smiled for a moment.

Xu Jinhe remained silent and said lightly: "Now that the prince has been in addition to Yanzhou, he is also responsible for political affairs elsewhere, and he will be very busy recently. ”

The main mother spoke, and the other three followed.

After some more instructions, the ladies dispersed one after another, Xu Jinhe asked Xiang Qiugui, "We are going to the capital these days, what is the movement in the palace?" ”

As an eyeliner who was specially arranged to stay in the palace, Qiu Gui reported carefully, "Back to the master, Yin Meiyuan is as usual, Concubine Li only takes care of the internal affairs of the palace in addition to taking care of the young lady, as for the side of Zishao Yuan...... You know, the prince is not here, and it is not a big deal. ”

Xu Jinhe listened and recalled in his mind, as the daughter of the prefect of Yanzhou from Sipin, Li Jiaoyun entered the mansion three years later, as Song Chen's only concubine at that time, her appearance was indeed good, Li Jiaoyun was also in the limelight at that time, she became pregnant and gave birth to Song Qi within a year of entering the mansion, but so what, didn't she quickly let her understand who was the master of the palace? However, even if she knew each other, she quickly recognized her own position, and only then did she have the opportunity to give birth to Song Ning again.

As for Xia's family, she is just a singer, Song Chen brought her back just to solve it, and since it is a solution, there is no need to have children.

These two are not enough to take to heart, and what we need to pay attention to now is only Wantang Garden.

Xu Jinhe took a sip of hot tea and said, "Wantang Garden, don't forget today, you will go over in person." ”

"Yes."

Chu Xue took breakfast slowly after returning from Danwei Garden, and took the child avoidance medicine after an interval of two quarters of an hour. Of course, what she said to Song Ning and what she said to Song Chen yesterday was sincere, she really liked children very much, and she also wanted to have her own flesh and blood, but after seeing it with her own eyes at dinner yesterday, she was firm in her thoughts, and it was really not time yet.

Unexpectedly, not long after taking the medicine, he saw Qiu Gui next to Xu Jinhe coming in with a soup cup, Qiu Gui saluted her dignifiedly, with a smile on her face, "The princess understands the hard work of the lady to serve the prince, and specially ordered the kitchen to boil the soup for you, which is all the best quality to nourish the body, the princess hopes that you can quickly add a few more young ladies to our palace!" ”

As she spoke, she placed the soup cup on the table in front of her and lifted the lid, "This is just brought from the kitchen, Madame, drink it while it's hot, don't let down the princess." ”

Just wait for her to drink it in person.

Looking at the hot misty soup cup in front of her, smelling the bursts of fragrance wafting out, Chu Xue couldn't stop a series of doubts in her heart. I mentioned it at the banquet last night, and the soup was served in front of me today, so bright and bright, Xu Jinhe shouldn't poison himself.

But in any case, the heart of defense is indispensable, if there is no such vigilance, how can you stay in the palace?

She smiled and said, "Thank you so much for the kindness of the princess, I also want to have a movement earlier, didn't I just eat a bowl of longan ejiao...... It's just that I can't drink the princess's tonic soup for a while. She paused, and her tone was very sincere, "You go back and thank the princess for me first, and when my stomach is empty in half an hour, I will drink it immediately." ”

Qiu Gui looked at the other soup bowl in front of the table, and sure enough, there was still some residual soup, which smelled indeed the smell of Ejiao...... Qiu Gui showed a look of embarrassment on his face, "It seems that the slave maid came at the wrong time, but the princess is still waiting for the slave maid to return to her life......"

"It's okay, you can go and get busy first, and I'll go and thank the princess in person later."

Seeing what Qiu Gui was going to say, she immediately ordered Ruyue with a sudden look, "Why don't you quickly find a soup bowl to replace the soup cup in Danwei Garden, so that Qiu Gui can take it back to restore her life, the princess is busy and can't be delayed." ”

Ruyue immediately went to fetch the bowl, and changed it very neatly in front of Qiu Gui, and handed the empty soup cup back.

Seeing that Qiu Gui was a little hesitant, Chu Xue pretended to be angry, "This girl, why don't you go wash it, why do you return it to others like this?" ”

"Don't bother, Madame, you must remember to drink it later, it's not good if it's cold." Qiu Gui took the bowl and said with a stiff smile: "The slave and maid will go back first, and the lady will rest." He bowed and exited the door.

In the late autumn of Yanzhou, the sky is blue and blue, and there is good sunshine all day long. Looking at the bright courtyard outside the door, the figure of the person who came disappeared outside the courtyard gate for a while, Chu Xuefang instructed Ruyue, "You go and see, what is the mystery of this soup." ”

Ruyue went in response and returned a moment later.

"So fast?" Chu Xue was very surprised.

"Hmm." Ruyue nodded, "Except for some ground brassica seeds, they are indeed warm medicines." ”

"Yun ...... Sprouts? "She didn't know why.

"It's also to avoid children, but the dose is a bit large, and I take it for a long time...... It doesn't take too long, a month to come, and you will be sterile for life. Ruyue explained softly.

His breath stagnated instantly, and sure enough, Xu Jinhe still made a move.

Infertility for life? She sneered.

This trick is to repair the plank road darkly, and she keeps saying that she hopes that she will get pregnant as soon as possible, but if she believes her, she will drink it every day, and her life will be ruined.

If she didn't have more eyes and didn't have Ruyue by her side, wouldn't she be bad for her poisonous hands?

"I'm really lucky for your bowl of longan ejiao today." She looked at the empty bowl on the table. This was specially boiled by Ruyue to relieve her menstrual pain.

After a pause, she continued: "I have to think of a way, since she has started, she will definitely do it, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, this soup will come every day......"

As she was talking, Yan Ling came in, looked at Chu Xue's expression, and said suspiciously, "Miss...... What's wrong, why is your face so ugly? ”

Ruyue will talk about things in general.

"Poisonous woman!" Yan Ling angrily reprimanded, "Miss, go and sue the prince, the prince must be ......."

Chu Xue glanced at it, stopped Yan Ling's words with her eyes, she sighed helplessly, and asked: "Go and tell the prince sΓΉ, there are brassica seeds in this soup that cause infertility, so may I ask, how can I and the other boudoir women identify the brassica seeds that have been ground?" And how do you know what it does? She sneered self-deprecatingly, "Doesn't this mean that you have told the prince that we have hidden a female doctor in Wantang Garden?" ”

Yan Ling was speechless. How can an ordinary little maid understand medical skills? If you let the prince know that Ruyue understands medical skills, he will definitely be suspicious, and it is inevitable that he will not investigate, and once he finds out what happened back then......

Yan Ling didn't dare to think about it anymore, and said in a muffled voice: "The slave maid didn't have a brain, Miss don't be angry." ”

Chu Xue reproached: "Now that there are so many people in the mansion, Danweiyuan has bad intentions again, we have to be more cautious, you know, if you say the wrong word, it is very likely that you will lose many lives." ”

Yan Ling pursed her lips and nodded cautiously.

Chu Xue actually couldn't bear to say a heavy word to Yanling, who is Yanling, she is a partner, sister, and relatives who have been inseparable from childhood to adulthood, but as she said just now, she entered the palace, especially Yanzhou, which is so crowded and mixed, is really between life and death, and there is no room for a trace of sloppiness!

She paused for a moment and asked Xiang Ruyue, "Is there any medicine that can be cured?" ”

Ruyue told the truth, "Yes, but even if it can be solved, it still enters the mouth and enters the body, and it is not worry-free." ”

She thought for a while, "You go get it first, and then I'll think of other ways, I can hide, I can't hide, I can't hide, just drink a few times in front of them to make them satisfied, and the most important thing is not to make them suspicious." ”

"Yes." Ruyue nodded.

Because the first hour was not in time, for fear that she would not be able to drink it as an excuse, the second morning, before she went to Danwei Garden to ask for peace, Qiu Gui walked into Wantang Garden with a steaming soup cup.

It's just that she came a little early, and Song Chen hasn't left yet.

Taking advantage of Chu Xue's time when Song Chen was washing, Yanling specially stood at the door of the room and reported, "Miss, the princess sent Sister Qiugui to send you tonic soup." ”

"What tonic soup?" Song Chen took the Jinpa in Chu Xue's hand and asked while wiping his face.

"The princess specially ordered someone to make it for the concubine, saying that it was better to make up for the princess earlier." She replied softly and looked at Yan Ling, "Let Qiu Gui come in." ”

"Yes."

Not long after Yanling's words fell, Qiu Gui came in with a soup cup, and when he saw Song Chen in a middle coat in the inner room, he paused and saluted, "Greetings to the prince." ”

Song Chen snorted lightly.

Vaguely smelling the aroma of hot soup, Song Chen asked her, "Have you drunk it?" How does it taste? ”

She replied while going to get clean clothes for him, "It tastes very good, yesterday the concubine drank a big bowl, and she couldn't eat much for lunch." ”

"Why hasn't it worked?" Song Chen stuck it up and pinched her waist.

She pouted, "It's not just a day." ”

"Then this king will work hard again tonight?"

She bit her lip and pounded his chest, "The prince is used to bullying people......"

The words inside were already ambiguous, and Qiu Gui had to retreat outside the door.

Chu Xue heard the movement, and raised her voice slightly to call Yanling, "Yanling, go find a bowl to replace the soup cup, let Qiugui go back first, I will have to wait for a while, don't miss the princess." ”

"Yes." Yan Ling responded and acted quickly.

Because Song Chen was there, Qiu Gui didn't dare to say more, so he had to take the empty soup cup that he had replaced and went back to Danwei Garden.

After a while, Song Chen finally sorted out his appearance and went out of the room.

In Danwei Garden, Xu Jinhe, who was dressing up, asked Qiu Gui, who had returned, "How is today?" ”

"When the slave and maid passed, the prince hadn't left yet, so ......"

"So you didn't drink again?"

Xu Jinhe's voice suddenly raised, so frightened that Lilac, who was combing her hair, didn't dare to continue.

"Yes." Qiu Gui bowed his head.

"This woman ......," Xu Jinhe frowned.

"Although she didn't drink it in front of the slave maid, she should have drunk it yesterday, and the slave maid heard her tell the prince that it tasted good, and she drank a big bowl." Qiu Gui hurriedly explained.

"Who knows if it's true or not." Xu Jinhe was unmoved, "Tomorrow, you must watch her drink with your own eyes, otherwise you won't come back." ”

"Yes." Qiu Gui replied with bated breath.

On the third day, Qiu Gui, who was under great pressure, almost followed Chu Xue, who had finished inviting early from Danwei Garden, into the room.

Seeing that the person who came as promised was more and more able to pick the hour, Chu Xue's disgust for Xu Jinhe in her heart almost jumped into the clouds. But she understands that if she doesn't let the other party get her wish again, I'm afraid it will really arouse the other party's suspicions. On the contrary, just as Yue has already prepared the medicine for the solution, she will simply fulfill it once.

So she took the bowl with a smile, drank it after a while, and praised: "The craftsmanship of this stew master is really getting better and better." Turning back and letting Ruyue go over to learn, it will also save you the trouble of running back and forth. ”

"Madame is serious, this is all the slaves' business, where will there be trouble."

Qiu Gui took the bowl with satisfaction, and his expression was very comfortable.

"I'm really not used to drinking soup for a day now, thank you so much Princess! I really hope to have a baby sooner rather than later. She smiled and looked into the other's eyes.

Those eyes didn't dare to look at her, only lowered their eyes to dodge, "Madame will definitely get her wish, you have a good rest, the slave and maid will go back first." ”

Seeing her nodding, Qiu Gui walked out of Wantang Garden with easy steps.

But as soon as she turned around, she couldn't help but vomit.

Although she knew that Ruyue had a solution, she was disgusted at the thought of someone putting something in the soup she had swallowed that had harmed her.

If she didn't know, she might really be obedient to their wishes, and then in this life, she would never have had her own children again. When the day fades and loves, she will become a poor woman who is helpless and slaughtered.

A chill ran all over me.

In the past, she had unbearable and guilty about marrying Song Chen and Song Chen's love for herself, but now, all of them are gone.

When her mood calmed down a little, her mind turned back to the present, this is not a way, she must try her best to find a way to cut off their path.
