Chapter 53: Defection
The poison of Tianzhu cassava in the emperor's body was regulated by Yao Yanyu with acupuncture and decoction, and the symptoms basically disappeared after five days.
Yao Yanyu approached again to ask for guilt, but the emperor just waved his hand and said: "During this time, you are raising a baby at home, and you can't blame the things in the Chinese Medicine Hall." ”
"The emperor is merciful, but since the minister is the judge of the National Medical Center, he should be responsible for this matter. Please ask the emperor to condemn the crime. ”
The emperor looked at Yao Yanyu who was kneeling in front of the dragon couch, and sighed faintly: "Are you here to protect your two subordinates?" ”
Yao Yanyu hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister has the crime of not being strict with the emperor, and the daughter of the guilty minister in the National Medical Pavilion is mixed in, so that he plots to kill the emperor's dragon body, and the whole of the National Medical Pavilion is guilty of unforgiving." ”
"That's it, let's put it down in advance. I'll talk about that later. The emperor shook his head and turned sideways slightly.
Yao Yanyu was helpless, so she had to kowtow and retreat silently.
This was the worst she could foresee.
According to common sense, the emperor was either suspended from his post, or demoted, or simply killed people or abolished the institution of the National Medical Center, she thought of all this. But I didn't expect this.
The emperor didn't ask about the crime, nor did he express his position, which made Yao Yanyu feel as if he had a powerful sword hanging over his head that would fall anytime and anywhere, and he didn't know when it would fall, nor how many people it could kill in the end.
A few days later, the emperor's dragon body was stable, Yao Yanyu no longer had to enter the palace to treat the emperor, the toxins in the emperor's body were cleared, and his mood was stabilized a lot, and the rest was still carefully recuperated. Zhang Zhiling only needs to carefully check the decoctions, pills, and meals that the emperor takes every day to ensure that they are non-toxic.
Of course, the task of ensuring that it is not toxic is not too difficult for Zhang Zhiling, and the difficulty is at any time and anywhere.
Because the emperor has at least ten or twenty meals a day, decoctions, tea, etc., every time he has to stay by his side and taste it in person before he can present it. Although this kind of close-quarters errand was glorious, it also made him tremble and walk on thin ice.
Zhang Yuanling lived every day like a year, and truly realized the hard work after Zhang Cangbei's supreme glory back then.
In contrast, Yao Yanyu was much more relaxed than him, because the six princes returned, and the matter of the 'Qingxin Pill' was completely shelved. Except for Wu Dong and Wu Xiuyuan, who are still locked up in the edict of the Zhenfu Division, everything else is fine.
The secret decree was issued for half a month, and the sixth prince Yun Ying entered Beijing overnight by speedboat, and there was already Jin Linwei waiting there at the dock on the outskirts of Beijing.
entered the capital with the six princes, as well as Yao Yuanzhi's maternal grandfather, the mother and daughter of the Jiangning Song family. It's just that after their ordinary passenger ship docked at the civil wharf, it didn't cause any waves, and they just watched their family wrap a few boxes and carry them onto the carriage that the Yao family came to pick up, and hurried to the city.
Ninghou Mansion, Yan'an Hall.
After Yao Yanyu leaned on the warm couch and drank a small cup of milk bird's nest, Fang sighed softly and said a little impatiently: "The mother and daughter of the Song family came to defect, just take it and keep it." Why do you have to go back? ”
Cuiwei took the empty white porcelain cup and handed it to Xiangzhi, Fang persuaded in a low voice: "This must be what the old lady meant, thinking that someone from her mother's family is coming, and the reception banquet should always be grand." ”
These days, Yao Yanyu is worried about the Chinese Medical Center because of the matter of Qingxin Pill, and last night I heard that the six princes had returned to Beijing, so I was relieved. At this time, I didn't have the energy to deal with these things, so I said impatiently: "It's such a cold day, but I don't want to go out." When you go back, just say that I haven't felt well these days, and it's not good to go out and walk around, so please take care of Mrs. Song and Sister Yayun. ”
Cuiwei agreed: "Madame doesn't want to go, then I'll say it for Madame." ”
"Go to the storeroom and help me choose some gifts to send over." Yao Yanyu said with some annoyance.
"There's no need to worry about this, Madame, I'll be ready." Cuiwei said, then stood up and said goodbye to Yao Yanyu.
Yao Yanyu got up to see her off, and was helped by Cuiwei to sit back, Cuiwei pulled the blanket over her, and chuckled: "Madame, are you going to torture me?" ”
"That's it, you go." Yao Yanyu smiled and leaned back on the pillow with peace of mind.
Although Cuiwei is married to Ge Hai, and now she is also a person with a five-grade fate, she has always been the same as before in front of her, as long as she is there, she doesn't need to be served by others for things such as serving tea and water. This made Yao Yanyu very helpless and heartwarming.
People in this era pay attention to 'loyalty' and 'righteousness', and the most taboo is to forget their roots and be ungrateful.
Over there in Yao's Mansion, Old Lady Song was a little unhappy when she saw that Yao Yanyu refused to come. But Cuiwei brought a rich gift, and under the backdrop of several treasures and jewelry, Mrs. Zhao of Jingnanbo saw that for the sake of these jewels, she was naturally smiling, and said in a loud voice: "My niece is heavy, and this cold Tianyuan shouldn't alarm her to come." It's just that I haven't seen her for a few years, and I really miss her. After two days, we packed up our money and were going to visit the house. ”
Cuiwei didn't have a good impression of the people of the Song family, and she didn't want to say a word from Song Yanqing to this Mrs. Zhao. He smiled faintly and said, "Madame said, Madame will be tired when she comes from afar, so she is not in a hurry to visit." In a few days, when Madame's body is better, she will definitely come. ”
Mrs. Song asked, "She is pregnant with a child now, and her body is the most important thing." Why are you still so careless? ”
Cuiwei knew that the old lady would inevitably ask carefully, and she had already thought of a rhetoric: "A few days ago, the emperor was seriously ill, and the lady was on duty in the palace for a few nights, and she was really tired. ”
Mrs. Wang sighed: "Her errand looks infinitely beautiful, but in fact she is haggard. What woman still goes to stay up late at this time? Not to mention the safety of the emperor's dragon body. ”
Old Madam Song frowned and said, "You can't say that. Eat the king's luck, worry about the king. ”
Mrs. Jing Nanbo also smiled: "Mrs. don't worry, my niece is well versed in medicine and will take care of her body." ”
Mrs. Wang sighed softly, ignored Mrs. Zhao, and only turned her head to ask Ning, "How is the preparation of the family banquet?" ”
A housekeeper's daughter-in-law beside Ning Shi hurriedly said, "The banquet is ready." Please move the old lady, the uncle's wife, and the wife to the side hall. ”
"Please." Old Madam Song got up slowly, took Song Yayun's hand and said with a smile: "You will sleep on my side tonight." ”
Song Yayun nodded very obediently: "Mrs. Xie prefers it." ”
Everyone got up and hugged Mrs. Song and Mrs. Jing Nanbo and walked into the side hall, Cuiwei deliberately slowed down and followed behind, Yao Fengge quietly pulled her sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sister is okay, right?" ”
Cui Wei whispered: "Grandma also knows that the festival between the prince and the lady of the family, the lady naturally doesn't want to come." ”
Yao Fengge sighed and sneered: "I naturally know the truth, if I were me, I wouldn't come." I really don't know what the old lady thinks. ”
Speaking of the old lady, Cui Wei knew that she couldn't talk much, so she just smiled and didn't answer.
No matter how dissatisfied Yao Fengge was in his heart, he couldn't arrange the old lady, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
After a feast, I heard the old lady praising Song Yayun all the time, saying that she has become more and more standard in the past two years, with a good appearance and a good temperament.
Cuiwei was naturally unhappy when she heard this, but she also knew that she was not unhappy here, how she got ahead outside, and she was still a maid when she returned to Yao's Mansion, so she just drank soup silently and didn't say much.
Ning sat beside her, kept serving her vegetables, and whispered and laughed with her, on the other side, Yao Fengge also seemed to be intentional, not very theoretical about the old lady's words, just whispered something to Cuiwei.
From the words of the Ning family and Yao Fengge, Cuiwei pieced together the reason why the mother and daughter of the Song family came to the capital, and it turned out that after the old lady of the Song family passed away, the Song family became more and more difficult. Song Yanqing, who was sent to the Fujian Navy Division, was driven home because he was addicted to gambling and had a habit of gambling and broke military discipline.
Later, he was accidentally injured and died because of a fight with someone in a gambling house. The mother and daughter of the Song family sued each other and entered the yamen, and after receiving a compensation of 1,000 taels of silver, Song Yanqing's funeral was hastily handled.
Because of Song Yanqing's bad reputation, Song Yayun didn't even propose marriage in the past two years, and seeing that the old girl in her twenties couldn't stay at home, the mother and daughter discussed it, and then packed up the valuable things at home and went to the capital to join the Yao family.
Mrs. Jing Nanbo's purpose in coming to the capital is very clear, that is, to find a good marriage for her daughter, as long as the other party is good, even if she is married to the family.
Cuiwei listened to these words, but she silently felt funny in her heart.
A twenty-year-old girl, no matter how good she looks, her family background has not been like this, will those wealthy families look down on her? Barely climbing high, the best can only be a steproom.
Besides, the family is married? How much more money can the Song family come up with to give their daughter a dowry? He was already lost by Song Yanqing's loser, right?
But Cuiwei can only think about these things in her heart, how about the Song family, she doesn't want to a single hair.
And the old lady Song who sat on the top seat directly regarded Cuiwei as air, and Cuiwei was just a maid from the Yao family in her eyes, no matter how great she was, she didn't dare to turn the sky upside down. So she didn't even have the heart to talk to Cuiwei, she was only thinking in her heart about which family in the capital had a suitable son and brother to match Song Yayun. If this marriage is promoted, she can be regarded as worthy of her mother's family.
Old Madam Song drew a circle from her heart, and her heart lit up, she looked up at Yao Fengge who was sitting opposite, and asked, "I heard in a trance that the three brothers of your Dingbei Hou Mansion are splitting up, how are things?" ”
Yao Fengge didn't know why the old lady suddenly turned the topic to herself, so she had to reply: "The big thing has been clearly divided." There are only a few small things left to be discussed. ”
"And what about your second uncle? I heard that he was promoted? Old Madam Song asked again.
Yao Fengge immediately understood what the old lady meant, so she smiled and said, "Look at what the old lady said, where is the matter in the second uncle's house that my little aunt can worry about?" ”
Old Madam Song was immediately unhappy: "Didn't you take charge of the Hou Mansion's inner mansion before?" Besides, Yayun is your cousin. You don't have to worry about your second uncle's affairs, and your cousin's affairs should also be worried, right? ”
"I guessed what the old lady meant. You go back and talk to the second wife in your house, and she is the elder on your side. For her nephew's affairs, she should also worry about the idea. Mrs. Wang was busy playing a round for Yao Fengge.
Yao Fengge had no choice but to respond: "I just remember the words of the old lady and the wife." ”
Old Madam Song's face changed when she heard this, and she turned her head to talk to Mrs. Jing Nanbo about Su Yuan's situation. After hearing this, Mrs. Jing Nanbo was naturally willing. Song Yayun had already blushed and found an excuse to hide.
It was not early when Cuiwei came back from Yao's Mansion in the evening, and she didn't go over when she heard that Madame had rested.
Originally, Yao Yanyu said that Cuiwei and Ge Hai got married, and she paid for the land behind Tang Xiaoyi's mansion to buy a yard for the two of them, but Cuiwei disagreed, saying that she was used to living in the general's mansion, and hoped that Mrs. would leave this small courtyard for her, so that it would be convenient to come over early in the morning and evening. Yao Yanyu also felt that she couldn't do without her, so she gave the couple a second courtyard with five rooms in the east courtyard with east and west wings to live in.
Early the next morning, before breakfast, Cuiwei heard that the general had gone out, so she came to Yan'an Hall.
Yao Yanyu had just finished freshening up and was ready for breakfast, and when she saw her coming, she instructed Xiang Zhi: "Add another pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”
Cuiwei didn't shirk it, she sat down and was eaten breakfast by Yao Yanyu, and after the meal, she talked about the plans of Mrs. Jing Nanbo's mother and daughter and the reason why they came to the capital to join Yao's family.
Yao Yanyu was silent for a long time. Cuiwei said again: "The old lady means that she wants to match the second master of Dingbeihou Mansion with Miss Song. The eldest aunt and grandmother were not happy to meddle with such idle matters, and the old lady pulled down her face on the spot. ”
"The old lady has put her mother's family first all her life." Yao Yanyu sneered and shook her head. I thought that although the Song family had such a title of Earl Jingnan, there was no longer a male in the clan, and Yayun would have no maiden family in the future. No matter how bad Su Yu'an is, he is also the captain of the Jinlinwei Thunder Team, if he wants to marry a stepfamily, there are not dozens of girls in this Yundu City and more than a dozen girls waiting for him to choose, how can he look down on Song Yayun?
Cui Wei chuckled again: "In my opinion, I'm afraid it's hard to make peace with this matter." ”
"We don't bother to care, let them toss." Yao Yanyu said, stretched out her hand to help Cuiwei get off the bed, "You accompany me out of the city for a walk." ”
After the 'Qingxin Pill Incident', the students in the Chinese Medical Center have been on vacation, and the daily affairs are taken care of by the two main books transferred from the Tai Hospital, and Cuiwei and Cuiping are both waiting for the emperor's will to surrender their crimes at home, and they have not returned yet.
Cuiwei helped Yao Yanyu out of Yan'an Hall and walked to the back, until she walked to the back garden, followed a wisp of plum fragrance to the plum forest, Yao Yanyu stood in front of a green calyx and white plum and stood still.
Yao Yanyu suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you still remember appreciating plum blossoms in the mansion of the eldest princess of Ninghua that year?" ”
Cui smiled and nodded: "The plum blossoms in Princess Ninghua's mansion are really good." I heard that in order to celebrate the 50th birthday of the eldest princess, the emperor paid tribute to the jade butterfly plum blossoms of more than 100 years in various places, and it took two years of hard work to select 50 trees. ”
"Yes, the brother-sister relationship between the emperor and the eldest princess is by no means comparable to those fifty plum blossoms." Yao Yanyu nodded. It is said that the royal family has no family affection, in fact, the emperor and the three brothers and sisters of Prince Cheng and Princess Ninghua have supported each other since childhood, and it is really rare to help each other for so many years.
Cuiwei thought about it, and finally couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "I heard that in order to help the emperor ascend the throne, Princess Ninghua also lost a child?" ”
"Yes. I've also heard Sister Han talk about this. Yao Yanyu nodded, and sighed helplessly: "It is said that that is the eldest princess's first child." ”
Cui Weiqing also sighed: "This is very rare in ordinary people's homes, let alone in the royal family." ”
"yes!" Yao Yanyu nodded, raised her hand and pointed to a plum blossom and said, "Cut this one out and take it back to insert the bottle." ”
Cui Wei hurriedly turned around and told the little maid to fetch the vase, and she took flower scissors and stood on tiptoe to pull down the flower branch and cut it vigorously.
The little maid was holding a butterfly ear hanging ring vase with a copper relief Fushou Baizi in front of her, Cuiwei looked back and saw it, so she smiled and said: "You guys are really good at looking for it, how did you find this?" ”
This little girl is the son of the general's house, and when she was seven years old, she was selected to do some chores, in order to be familiar with the rules and teach the rules. Because she heard Cui smile and ask, the little girl smiled sweetly: "Back to the fourth lady, Mama Feng has taught slaves and maids, copper bottles with plums, and porcelain bottles for lotus." So the slave went to find this. ”
Yao Yanyu smiled: "This is very good, send it back to the house." ”
The little girl hurriedly agreed, hugged the vase and walked away with a smile, and inhaled the fragrance of plum blossoms vigorously while walking, and the delicate and sweet appearance was really cute.
Yao Yanyu watched her back disappear behind the rocks before slowly retracting her gaze.
Cui Wei smiled and said: "This little girl is sweet and delicate, quite pleasing." ”
"Well, Mama Feng's gaze is getting more and more spicy." Yao Yanyu nodded with a smile, and said, "Xiangzhi and they will be old in two years, and they will be old enough to get married." I asked Mama Feng to pick a few people who can be used earlier to teach first, so that I can catch the blind when the time comes. ”
"Life flies." Cui Wei sighed softly and muttered, "I remember when our master and servant first came to the capital, it was still like yesterday. ”
Yao Yanyu was also very emotional: "Yes, I never dared to think that I could have today. ”
Cui smiled and said: "Speaking of which, every step of Madame is full of adventure, and Cui Ping and I have followed Madame, and this life is not in vain." ”
"Speaking of which, we are here today thanks to the trust and love of Eldest Princess Ninghua. If it weren't for Princess Ning Hua to recommend me in front of the emperor, how could the emperor let me be a little woman overnight? Yao Yanyu said, and turned around and walked towards the small pavilion over there.
