Chapter 23: Storms and Troubles (1)
The hot heat penetrated the cicadas on the trees, drove away the gentle breeze, and the people who walked were a little irritable and helpless, and they hid in the shade of the greenery, and drove in the pavilion, and the prime minister's mansion was full of people at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The ministers of the court and the central government came to the banquet with their daughters, only to see a pink little girl shuttling among the crowd, the little girl looked delicate, like a joyful New Year's doll, elegant and elegant, but also childish. There are only two masters in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Pin and Li Hao, although Li Pin is only six years old, but he entertains the female dependents as the hostess of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although the ministers have known about Li Pin's existence for a long time, they have never really seen it, and they feel that no matter who is spoiled by the prime minister like that, they will always become arrogant and willful.
Li Pin entertained the guests with a smiling face, but after half a day, he only felt tired, and was sitting down to rest for a while, when he saw Xiaoxi looking for her: "Miss, the second prince arrived at the house, but he didn't know where he went, and the adult asked the young lady to look for it, so that he wouldn't be able to find the way." Xiaoxi said as she picked up the pastries on the table that she was hungry.
"Okay." Li Pin rubbed her sore ankles, took a big sip of tea, and went to find Situ Qing, complaining constantly in her heart, this Situ Qing had nothing to do, so she finally had time to rest and went to find him.
Li Pin bypassed the main hall and looked for Situ Qing in each room, Li Pin was small, and he saw two maids talking on the side of the rockery from a distance, while thinking about calling them to look for them together, he hurriedly walked over, and when he got closer, he found that these two maids were not the maids in the house, looking at the service, it seemed to be in the palace, this should be the entourage brought out by His Royal Highness the Prince, Li Pin was invisible, hidden behind the rockery, and listened to the two maids say:
"Sister Cui'er, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Did you put the medicine in?" A maid said with a serious face.
"I put it in, follow my sister's orders, and put a little bit every day, and the second prince didn't notice it."
"Well done, this is the powder of the past few days." One maid stuffed a paper bag into the other.
"Sister Cui'er, isn't there really anything wrong with this powder?"
"It's okay, this medicine powder will just make people drowsy, there won't be any major problems, you do it well, and when it's done, I'll ask the queen mother to transfer you to the side of His Royal Highness the Prince."
"That's troublesome Sister Cui'er, my sister should do her best." The maid said crisply.
Li Pin couldn't help it anymore, how could that medicinal powder just make people sleepy, there were only two princes in the palace, how could the queen mother easily spare Situ Qing, you must know that others are allowed to sleep peacefully next to the couch? Li Pin was about to rush out and snatch the medicine powder, but as soon as he moved his footsteps, he was pulled by a person and covered his mouth.
Li Pin looked at Situ Qing who was covering his mouth with wide eyes, shook his head anxiously, and the two maids left one after another after speaking, and then Situ Qing let go of the hand covering Li Pin's mouth.
"Situ Qing, what are you stopping me from doing? They're drugging you. Li Pin said angrily.
"I know, but after all, this is a palace secret, if they know that you have listened to it, your life will be in danger." Situ Qing looked at Li Pin and said seriously, this is his business, there is no reason to catch up with this cute little girl.
"Situ Qing, why are you so stupid, I won't have anything to do, I'm the only daughter of the prime minister, where does anyone dare to take me." Li Pin dragged Situ Qing's hair and said hatefully, after speaking, he still felt incomprehensible, and pulled Situ Qing's hair a few times.
"I know that you are for my good, but if there is one of these things, there will be two, you can't keep blocking me, not to mention that you can't be under the protection of the prime minister all the time, in case of negligence, I don't know how much to blame." Situ Qing was not annoyed, let Li Pin pull his hair, and said innocently.
"I'm afraid of you, come with me." Li Pin dragged Situ Qing to the residence of the house doctor, but he still had to hurry up and ask the doctor to show Situ Qing, and he didn't know how much he had taken the medicinal powder, whether the medicine was poisonous or not, and he couldn't delay any longer.
When he arrived at the courtyard of the house doctor, Li Pin looked at Situ Qing's appearance, frowned, took out the silk handkerchief he was carrying, and threw it to Situ Qing: "Cover your face." "Luckily, everyone went to the front yard to help, and we didn't meet anyone along the way.
Situ Qing only felt a burst of medicinal fragrance coming, looked at the silk handkerchief, and obediently covered his face.
Li Pin looked at Situ Qing's appearance, nodded reluctantly, and pulled him into the house doctor's room, a silk handkerchief naturally can't cover Situ Qing's identity and appearance, the role of this silk handkerchief is just to tell the house doctor that the person who came to see the doctor was a secret, and it should not be said to the outside.
The house doctor looked at Situ Qing, who came in for a while, and understood what Li Pin meant, so he bowed respectfully to Li Pin and asked, "Miss took time out of her busy schedule today to come here for the old man, but what is the important matter?" ”
"You show him." Li Pin pushed Situ Qing to the chair.
The doctor put his finger on Situ Qing's meridians and began to diagnose and treat: "Miss, this son has been poisoned?" ”
"It's not serious, but what is the treatment?" Li Pin asked anxiously on the side.
"The poison in Childe has been in it for more than a month, fortunately, Miss found it early, and it can be cured now, if it drags on for a long time, Childe will slowly lose consciousness, become a fool, and finally die slowly."
"How can I treat it?" Li Pin had mixed feelings in her heart, although she always said that Situ Qing was stupid, but she didn't really want him to become a fool.
"The old man prescribes a pair of medicine to the son, the son only needs to take it every day, and he can be cured after seven days, and the old man will write a prescription for the child."
Li Pin glanced at Situ Qing, who remained silent, he was afraid that his clothing, food, housing and transportation in the palace were all monitored, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take this medicine even if he was prescribed: "Is there any other treatment for this disease?" ”
"It's not nothing, you can also take an antidote pill every day, even for seven days." The house doctor glanced at Situ Qing and said.
"Antidote pills? It just so happens that I have it there, so I'm really bothering you, so I don't need to prescribe medicine, so we'll leave. Li Pin pulled Situ Qing and walked out, it was not good to be seen, there were antidote pills in the pile of medicines that Mr. Liu left her, and she would let Xiaoxi find it for him to take it later.
"Miss, walk slowly." The house doctor quietly sent Li Pin away without asking much.
After leaving the courtyard of the house doctor, Li Pin breathed a sigh of relief, and his pace slowed down, and this relaxation suddenly found that something was wrong with Situ Qing, and he didn't say a word along the way.
"Situ Qing, what's wrong with you, you won't be really stupid!" Li Pin shook Situ Qing.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little sad, I'm cowardly and incompetent, and the crown prince is famous, my status is humble, and the prince's status is noble. My father never looked at me more, he only cared about pampering his concubines, I didn't understand, I was obviously not threatening, why did the queen want my life. Situ Qing looked at Li Pin's eyes, although her tone was fierce, her eyes were full of tenderness.
"It's not your fault, think about it, how can this queen be easy to mess with, your father has been greedy for beauty all these years, but there are only two princes, you and the crown prince, a princess." Li Pin sat on the stone bench and said that she was tired.
"You mean it's all done by the queen, but why? She is the queen and has a noble status, no matter who becomes the emperor, she will be the queen mother in the future. Situ Qing asked puzzled.
"If you really love one, you can't tolerate other people around him, the queen is afraid that she really loves the emperor, and the emperor is lustful and concubines, the queen will definitely not feel good in her heart. Besides, what mother in the world is not trying her best to plan for her children, and the same is true of the queen's mother, your existence is not only a proof of the emperor's mistreatment, but also a possible threat to her son, she can't tolerate you. Li Pin sighed and said, it was really pitiful, pathetic and hateful.
"No wonder?" Situ Qing sighed and said.
"It's just that you are so innocent, but you don't have a good relationship with me, I'm a jealous woman like the queen, if I marry someone, I won't allow him to take a concubine, but I won't be like the queen who can't bear to want other women and children, I will abandon him directly." It's just that I don't know how many people have been difficult to ask for, and I'm afraid that I'm going to die alone. Li Pin's eyes were full of sorrow.
"It's a deviant, I will definitely protect you for the rest of your life, don't worry." Situ Qing said firmly.
"You! It's better to take care of yourself first, don't be harmed by the queen, is the first serious thing now. Li Pin said with a smile, although you are the male protagonist and have profound blessings, who can say for sure what will happen in the future!
"The second prince, the second prince, the slave has something important to say." A six or seven-year-old girl looked left and right looking for something, and when she saw Situ Qing happily running over and kneeling on the ground, she said.
"What's wrong?" Li Pin saw this situation and asked curiously.
"Second prince, you have been poisoned." The little girl said anxiously.
"What's going on, you say slowly." Li Pin looked at the little girl in surprise, saw Situ Qing's gloomy face, didn't know what to think, and asked.
"The slave maid is the palace maid of the court, and when I sent the washed clothes back to the palace of the second prince yesterday, I saw a palace maid's sister sprinkling some white powder on the second prince's meal. The slave and maid can see it clearly, if the second prince does not believe it, let the doctor diagnose the pulse and know that what the slave and maid said is the truth. Although the girl was young, she said eloquently.
Li Pin felt something in his heart: "Raise your head, what's your name." ”
"The slave's name is Yu Nuan." The girl slowly raised her head, with bright eyes and pink cheeks, phoenix eyes and red lips, a good appearance of a country and a city, now she is just a young age and has seen the color for the first time, I don't know how many people will be fascinated when she grows up.
Li Pin heard the name, his eyes were complicated, this is Yu Nuan, the future heroine, the future queen of Situ Qing, the person who killed his father, the more impassive his face became: "We know, you go down first!" ”
Yu Nuan looked at the little girl in front of her, the same age as her, but different from herself, at first glance, she was pampered by thousands of pets, innocent cheeks, and joy, which made people want to be pampered and protected in her arms. A little anger rose in his heart, resentful of such an unfair fate, resentful that this girl could live so ignorant of the world, but her behavior was extremely polite.
Situ Qing didn't speak from beginning to end, watching this farce, people who didn't know were going to be deceived by this girl, obviously this girl was still ...... yesterday
