Chapter 51: Falling into the Well
"Ask the Empress Dowager to give her concubines a glass of wine!" Repeat the detached fishing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ying Chen was surprised, and said loudly: "You are crazy ...... to take off the fish."
"Shut up!" Totoyu interrupted her rudely.
Her abnormality made the Empress Dowager let go of the dry claws that grabbed her hair and remained silent.
"The Empress Dowager! What are you waiting for? I beg you to give your concubine a death immediately! ”
Brushing her loose sideburns with her hands, she urged again.
The hall was silent for a while, and the sound of monks chanting scriptures and knocking on wooden fish came from the front hall, Jin Zhaoyi had always been timid, and wanted to intercede, but her mouth moved, and she wanted to stop talking.
Everyone waited quietly for the Empress Dowager's decision, and what they couldn't understand was that the Empress Dowager seemed to be impatient.
But the Empress Dowager squinted her eyes and looked at the black and lush agarwood carving on the confession, a pillar of soul-returning incense was filled with green smoke, and she was silent for a while.
An inner eunuch came panting, bowed down and said, "Empress Dowager Qiqi, Imperial Doctor Liu has arrived." ”
"Quick! Call him in! ”
Liu Yishou, the imperial doctor with gray sideburns, came in and was about to see him, when the Empress Dowager raised her hand: "Excuse me, how is Cao Xiuyi?" Doctor Liu said quickly! ”
"Back to the Empress Dowager, the fetus in Xiu Yi Niangniang's womb is fortunately fine."
The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped one hundred and eight Bodhi beads around her hand, and recited Heshi: Amitabha! It's okay!
Concubine Xian was very disappointed and asked: "The dragon heir is fine, then Cao Xiuyi must be seriously injured and dying?" ”
Her words were suspicious of inducement.
How do you know that Liu Yishou said: "Cao Xiuyi's mother is injured, but her life is not in danger." It's just that because of avoiding the sacrificial tripod, I fell down, my ankle was broken, and it was like a swollen steamed bun, but pregnant women can't use external drugs to promote blood circulation and remove stasis, but they are afraid that the swelling will be much slower than ordinary people. In addition, the sleeves of the shirt were on fire, but fortunately they were extinguished in time, but there were some slight burns and abrasions on the arms. ”
Concubine Xian exclaimed: "This is not a miscarriage? It's really a big hit! ”
The father-in-law who was about to be pulled out of his mouth trembled and said, "In this way, the old slave has to live!"
The Empress Dowager's wrinkled mouth flattened: "Yes, you can live to death!" Really, the older you get, the more afraid you are of death, you learn from your queen mother, swear to die, and the mourning family almost killed her just now! ”
Ma Gonggong muttered: If the old slave is old and old, he will be beaten in the mouth, he will really have no face to live in this world!
While watching the excitement, Concubine Xian said again at this time: "The Empress Dowager, although the dragon heir is fine, is it just a matter of it?" The Queen Mother maliciously pushed the pregnant concubine into the fire, when the first emperor was there, no one in the harem dared to do this, if this is not punished, everyone in the palace will follow suit in the future, and it is not easy to keep the child in Cao Xiuyi's belly! ”
The Empress Dowager asked left and right: How is this kind of thing generally punished in the palace rules?
This time, they all learned to be obedient, and the palace people of Shoukang Palace looked at each other and knelt down together: "The Empress Dowager spares her life, and the slaves and maids dare not say it!"
Concubine Xian said: "Don't tease the Empress Dowager, this big crime of deliberately attempting to kill the emperor's heir is to be sent to the Shang Criminal Division, how can you use the palace to avoid the serious?" The heaviest punishment in the palace rules is only to expose the claustrophobic room and rest for three days. ”
"Murder of the emperor's heir? Ying Chen, you say. ”
Ying Chen was finally allowed to plead, and hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager, wronged!" We only heard Jin Zhaoyi say that she was pregnant after Cao Xiuyi fell, if you don't believe it, you can ask Jin Zhaoyi. ”
Jin Zhaoyi nodded repeatedly.
Tuotuoyu said: "Imperial Doctor Liu is also here."
"Then Imperial Doctor Liu, you say."
Liu Yishou said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the old minister doesn't know the ins and outs of the matter, but Cao Xiuyi is pregnant, and you instructed that it should not be leaked, so in this palace, except for the old minister, only the Empress Dowager, the emperor, and Jin Zhaoyi know......"
Ying Chen clapped his hands and said, "That's right!" Thinking about it, I don't even know that the imperial sister-in-law is pregnant, so if I say that my husband deliberately murdered the emperor's heir, isn't that deliberately framed? ”
Concubine Xian said: "Hmph! Who harmed her? The people with long ears heard it, and it was she herself who admitted that she deliberately pushed Cao Xiuyi down, and she also said that her brother was the last brother, in order to make King Shou the emperor! ”
The Empress Dowager said: "Her statement is extremely stupid! In the future, there will be three thousand emperors in the harem, and there will be many princes in the future, and many of them can at least form a few Keju teams, all of whom are candidates for the prince, will she hurt her? ”
This is a desperate "reassurance" for the Empress Dowager to eat in Totoyu, and it is also a message to the Quanweiyuan Palace, that is, there is no brother and brother, Shou Wang Kang is an idle prince when he grows up.
"Is it true that the Queen Mother overthrew Cao Xiuyi?" Concubine Xian pressed again.
The Empress Dowager said: "You don't have to build a bridge to set the fire, the mourning family knows it, and the queen mother is the queen mother, I don't know the inspection point, on the occasion of the national funeral, there was a conflict with the concubines in the palace, resulting in Cao Xiuyi's injury, according to the heaviest punishment in the palace rules, exposing the food in the room for three days and nights!" Reflect on it. ”
Totoyuqiang calmed down and said, "Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager not to kill, before that, Concubine Rong went to change her clothes......"
Concubine Xian knew this palace rule, which was similar to giving death, because if you don't give a drop of water for three days, you will definitely die.
How many people have been killed by this house rule? Countless! …… The plan to ignite the wind was successful, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
Ying Chen shouted worriedly: Husband......
Ignoring the fish, he trotted out of the meditation hall all the way, and walked to the front hall, where he could no longer smell the rotten smell of the mourning hall, a gust of wind blew, lying on the red nine-dragon pillar wrapped in white silk, which faintly revealed the exquisitely carved golden dragon scales, touched by hand, uneven.
"Queen Mother, before the grain breaks, it is best to drink a large glass of egg yolk wine, otherwise you will starve to death after three days and three nights. But there's no such thing in the palace! A gloating tone.
Behind the pillar, a man in black ghostly turned out, resisting a big purple umbrella, the entire Reed Yuan Palace, she was not wearing filial piety clothes, she was the moon lotus next to the emperor.
"Since you're with him, isn't it better to stay with him? He is now buried in the mausoleum of the first emperor, and Cao Bingkun can't leave this place, he can be held hostage at any time! ”
"The Queen Mother is still worried about herself! The Tianji battalion and the female general Dede Ma Shuai 5,000 white horse soldiers followed, King Qi and your father both want to be yellow sparrows, called praying mantis to catch cicadas, so Your Majesty is safe for the time being. ”
"So, you were sent by him to kill Hongu?"
"Your Majesty left the slave maid to protect the concubines in the palace, so the duty is in the body, Cao Xiuyi Niangniang has His Majesty's flesh and blood in the womb, if you attack the child, the slave and maid will definitely kill you!" Yue Shuilian's speech was too cold, and a cool breeze rose on people's backs under the sun.
Totoyu was silent, and asked for a while: "Since it is Your Majesty's will, why don't you do it yet?" ”
"It seems that you don't need to bother with slaves, as long as you enter that ghost place, in three days, you will be a corpse!"
"Humph! Tell you before you die, you're not qualified enough to threaten Hongu! Disappear immediately, or the Moonlight will pay for you! ”
"Empty Ming, he followed the Queen Mother?"
Yue Shuilian looked at the little girl in front of her in shock, the coldness in her eyes was not a killer, she knew that since Yuekong Ming followed this woman, she would not see the master lose, but even if this queen mother was unlucky, she twisted the route of Yuekong Ming to sneak into the palace, and immediately wanted to stop it, so she snorted coldly and disappeared like a ghost.
Tuo Yu deliberately told Yue Shuilian, because she knew that even if Yue Kong Ming came in, she would not have the ability to be alone, and quietly rescue herself from this impregnable palace, maybe Cao Xiuyi was using her as bait, waiting for the Tuo Dang to come in to save her, waiting to wipe out her father's henchmen.
Die or die, she doesn't want to bother others anymore.
Slowly sliding down the pillar, she sat on the blue jade floor with her last ass, because she had nothing to rely on.
There was a greeting from the palace people who came over and went up and down the jade steps: How is the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother Wan'an! The Queen Mother......
Even in the shadows, the jade floor was warm, and she hugged her knees, buried her face in it, and finally felt the beauty of this world: her skirt fluttering in the evening breeze, stepping on her bare feet between the sand and the waves. A pair of bright eyes, as clear as the sea, and like a gentle plant, without any distractions, filled with all the body and mind, once looked at themselves, those eyes, from ...... Flowing Wind ......
Just like Brother Liufeng never belonged to her, this nostalgia was short only in an instant, and the sound of breaking gongs pulled her back to the cruel reality.
"The Queen Mother! So you're hiding here and going with the slaves?! ”
She woke up like a dream, raised her head, opened her eyes in confusion, and thought it was dark, it turned out to be six or seven eunuchs from the inner prison, looking at her fiercely, all of them with big shoulders and round waists, like four walls, impermeable.
They thought she was paralyzed and came over to fight.
She stood up and calmly dusted off her dusty filial piety clothes: "Don't touch this palace!" Hongu will go by himself! (To be continued)
