Chapter 67
Before the autumn hunt came, the impact of the Red Umbrella Gu incident seemed to have thrown a stone into the harem, stirring up a thousand waves. The women in the harem who lost their children couldn't be counted on ten fingers, either because of the scourge of Concubine Shu, or for other reasons, but they all invariably set their eyes on Concubine Shu.
After all, no one knows whether there is a concubine behind their painful loss of their children.
Even though Concubine Shu has a thousand means, she can only be anxious against so many women.
Two days after the end of the Red Umbrella Gu incident, Concubine Shu was poisoned.
The person who poisoned was a palace maid named Lan Su.
The poison she gave to Concubine Shu was night incense. This poison does not kill people, and can even make people have a charming body fragrance, like a fragrance wafting from the night, which makes people feel calm. However, the person who is poisoned by this poison will have unbearable abdominal pain every night round, as if there is a worm in the stomach biting.
Most importantly, there is no solution to this poison. Until now, there have been only medicines in the world that relieve this pain.
Almost immediately, Hua Xijin sent someone to find this medicine and personally sent it to Qiwu Palace.
Of course, he didn't think about it for the sake of Concubine Shu - pain-relieving medicine has great side effects, it will be addictive if you take too much, and the "night fragrance" on your body will become stinky.
What a wonderful side effect, and Concubine Shu would have been very pleased with the gift he had given her.
Concubine Shu also knew the side effects of this medicine, and she insisted on not using it at first, gritting her teeth and enduring the pain.
Liu Qinghe stood aside and looked at Concubine Shu's distorted face tortured by pain, and persuaded, "Let's take medicine...... The night is long, and you're only going to get more and more pain. β
"Closed ...... Mouth! Concubine Shu still had the strength to speak, barely squeezing out two words from the corners of her mouth, and then continued to roll on the bed.
Liu Qinghe sighed, sat on the edge of the bed and wiped the sweat for Concubine Shu: "Why are you suffering?" β
He especially remembered clearly how the concubine was afraid of pain. When I gave birth to Rui'er, I almost had a sore convulsion several times. I don't even have the strength to scold him for being a bastard.
Now, she would rather grit her teeth and hold on to it than look at the medicine.
Concubine Shu trembled, her face was so pale that she didn't have half a trace of blood, but the only colored lips were bloodstained and terrifying. Half leaning on Liu Qinghe's arms, she felt Liu Qinghe's gentle wiping.
For a moment, her numb heart almost fluttered again for this tenderness.
Liu Qinghe also felt pity for Concubine Shu in his heart. He seemed to recall many years ago, when he accompanied her to give birth - the same stubborn little face, he also half hugged her and wiped her sweat. The only difference is that they are no longer as young as before, and they never have the urge to love again.
"I ...... I can't bear to see you ......" Liu Qinghe's words did not contain the slightest tenderness, and he was so stiff that he seemed to be numbly repeating other people's orders. He himself seemed to mean this, paused, swallowed his saliva again before speaking again, with the tenderness of many years ago: "Sister Jue, take medicine." I feel uncomfortable looking at you like this......"
Concubine Shu just shook her head.
She believed she could endure it. With a foul smell, no matter how much she thinks about it, a woman will not be happy.
Yuhe, who had been standing on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, she held the medicine given by Hua Xijin in her hand, knelt on the ground and begged: "Niangniang...... Slave, please take your medicine. β
"The aunt of Shang Pharmacy is very good at spices, and she will definitely be able to concoct a fragrant powder for Niangniang to mask the taste." Yuhe, who was loyal to the lord, couldn't bear to see Concubine Shu suffer a little, and tried every possible way to persuade Concubine Shu to take medicine.
In Yuhe's heart, Concubine Shu has passed the age of pleasing herself. At this age, what could be more important than enjoying good fortune?
Concubine Shu didn't pay attention to Yuhe, or rather, she didn't have the strength to pay attention to Yuhe anymore.
All her mind was dealing with the pain in her stomach.
Xu Shiquan probed his brain outside the dormitory of Qiwu Palace, which made people want to pat the back of his head when he saw it, and laughed and scolded the monkey for his life. Another palace maid beside Concubine Shu walked up to him Tingyu and asked, "What are you doing?" β
Xu Shiquan, who was engrossed in observing the situation in the dormitory, turned around calmly and calmly spoke to Tingyu: "Our family is ordered by the emperor to come and see the situation of Concubine Shu. β
Even if Tingyu is a first-class palace maid with a face next to Concubine Shu, Xu Shiquan also puts on the attitude of the people around the emperor. His master Zhao Gao said that when he saw the palace maids and eunuchs of Qiwu Palace, he could treat them normally.
"The master is very good." Listening to the rain has a hard temperament, and his speech is also a little hard.
Xu Shiquan pursed his lips, ignored Listening to the rain, and turned back to continue to look at the situation inside - the occasional pig-killing cry from Concubine Shu inside, the situation was obviously very bad, and it was also a loss to listen to the rain to open her eyes and talk nonsense.
Tingyu took two steps forward to block Xu Shiquan's sight: "Father-in-law Xu has been watching here for half an hour, the emperor should be in a hurry." β
This is an underground eviction order in disguise.
Although he didn't wait for Concubine Shu to take the pill, Xu Shiquan didn't plan to wait any longer. As Tingyu said, the emperor should be in a hurry.
Xu Shiquan raised his head and rolled his eyes at Tingyu, and walked away with eight steps in Xiaonei.
"What virtue!" Listening to the rain snorted, he continued to guard outside the hall.
Zixiao Palace
The emperor buried his head in the desk and read the folds, his brows furrowed slightly.
The word "pet" for the title of Tao Mi'er's willful begging was played over and over again by the old guy in the imperial stage, and he was going to pile up a hill in his imperial study.
The book in his hand is not solemn enough to impeach Taomier.
Hua Xijin closed the fold irritably, and threw it into the pile of folds that were left behind: "Xuan Pet Ji accompanies him." β
The impeachment of Yushitai should be let Taomier take a look for herself.
"Yes." Zhao Gao was ordered, and he bowed out of the imperial study.
As soon as Zhao Gao withdrew from the imperial study, Xu Shiquan put a shy smile on his face and pasted it to Zhao Gao's side: "Concubine Shu hasn't taken the medicine yet." β
"Forget it, it will be the result tomorrow." Zhao Gao patted Xu Shiquan's head with his hand and advised, "Next time, you have to wait for the results to come out." β
He didn't expect Xu Shiquan to do everything well at this age. Let Xu Shiquan wait for news from Concubine Shu just to test Xu Shiquan.
"Got it." Xu Shiquan nodded, and followed Zhao Gao to Afang Palace like a fart.
When Zhao Gao arrived at Afang Palace, Tao Mi'er was making clothes for the emperor, using the old method, Zhiluo pointed out, and she did it.
Xu is because there are more embroidery things, and her craftsmanship has improved a lot, and the stitches of this dress look very beautiful.
"The master of the pet concubine will go with the slaves, right?" Zhao Gao read out the emperor's will before greeting Tao Mi'er. "The emperor has ordered, the master of the pet concubine does not need to be cleansed."
Normally, the palace concubines go to accompany the car only after purifying themselves and incense.
Tao Mi'er pushed open the door of the side hall of Zixiao Palace with questions, and walked to the emperor's imperial table: "The emperor is Sheng'an." β
Hua Xijin didn't raise her head, and directly let Tao Mi'er do the work: "Classify all the folds on the low table, just like you did last time." β
Tao Mi'er glanced at the low table, and the suspicion in her heart became even heavier - the emperor was in such a hurry to call her over, just to let her be the secretary?
With a little hesitation, Peach Honey knelt down at the low table, reached out and picked up a book and slowly opened it-
Almost instantly, Momier knew the emperor's intentions.
She is a science student, which does not mean that she cannot read classical Chinese. From the first sentence to the last sentence, this recital is disgusting her title.
For a long time, Tao Mier has always felt that her title is very domineering, even if it is domineering that ordinary people can't understand, it is also domineering. So when I saw this book, I didn't feel much about it.
But...... When this kind of recital folded a large stack, Tao Mier was not calm.
She began to reflect on whether the word "pet" was really bad.
Hua Xijin was satisfied to see that Tao Mi'er fell into deep thought. He could probably guess why Tao Mier had to use the word "pet" as a title in the first place.
However, he wanted to give her a higher position, but he could not continue to use it.
"Did Mi'er see anything interesting?" Hua Xijin asked knowingly, and her playful expression was really not too obvious.
Tao Mi'er pouted and put her hand on the highest pile: "The emperor must also dislike the title that the concubine asked for." β
The Emperor must have called her here today to let her know how bad her title wasβfrivolous, weird, arrogant......
Hua Xijin grabbed it with her long hand and hugged Tao Mi'er into her arms: "Mi'er has thought clearly?" β
"Figured it out." Tao Mi'er nodded, this is ancient, not a modern one who can ask for whatever he likes. She should have a dignified title, and she can be on the table in the eyes of others.
"Does Mi'er like 'Yu'?" Hua Xijin picked up the pen and wrote the word "Yu" on the snow-white rice paper.
He mentioned this title to Tao Mier a long time ago, and now that Tao Mier wants to change her title, he still thinks this word is the best.
"Okay." Although Tao Mier has no love for the word "Yu", this is chosen by the emperor, and she is not unhappy.
"Tao's honey takes the order." Almost stacked with Tao Mi'er's voice, Hua Xijin said in a deep voice, "A Fang Gong Tao Mi'er, smart and sensitive, good morality, meritorious in detecting the Red Umbrella Gu, specially promoted from the third concubine, given the title "Yu". β
Tao Mi'er made a big salute, and her voice was soft: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live." β
Hua Xijin hooked the corners of her mouth, pulled Tao Mi'er up from the ground, and pressed her forehead affectionately: "Mi'er, I will take you to a good place." β
Tao Mi'er glanced at the emperor's mysterious expression, and also had some expectations in her heart: "Good place? β
Hua Xijin picked up Tao Mi'er and strode out of the imperial study: "Yes, good place." β
The author has something to say: in order to prevent confusion, I will explain here that the imperial study is set in the side hall of Zixiao Palace. According to the party, don't spray, nothing in this novel can be crossed by common sense.
