Chapter Ninety-Six: Singing Harmony
Early the next morning, Concubine Li really hurriedly came to the Dao Palace, and as soon as she entered the palace, she went straight to the West Garden.
At that time, Liu was sitting on the bed, holding a bird's nest in his left hand and a spoon in his right hand, eating by himself, his face was even more ruddy, and he did not have the weakness of having just given birth.
Zhou Yuan stood in front of the bed, and suddenly a maid ran in, looking impressed, and shouted when she entered: "Aunt Liu, it's not good!"
Liu Shi still lowered his head and ate, and was reluctant to pay attention, but Zhou Yuan, with an impatient face, reprimanded: "Why are you panicking, is the sky falling or is it on fire?"
The maid hurriedly said, "It's Concubine Li...... Concubine Li is here! ”
"What!" Zhou Yuan was taken aback, and at that time, Liu Shi also froze when he heard this, and said, "It's so early?"
As she spoke, Zhou Yuan had turned to her, and she handed her the things in her hand, and then quickly lay down, covered the quilt tightly, and made a cold look.
Zhou Yuan took the bowl and wanted to tell the maid to take it away, but at this time, Concubine Li had already come in, and said anxiously: "How is it, how is the good grandson of the mourning family!"
Concubine Li went straight to the bed, Zhou Yuan couldn't hide the bird's nest anymore, so she simply made a plan, turned around and stood in front of the bed, begged Liu bitterly, and said: "Aunt Liu, you can eat some, we can have another one if the child is gone, but if your body collapses, then there will be nothing."
Liu also closed his eyes slightly, pretending to be weaker and weaker.
When Concubine Li heard Zhou Yuan's words, she was shocked at the moment, and when she walked to the bed, she saw that Liu's belly was small in the quilt, and she mourned in a blink of an eye: "Where is the grandson of the mourning family!" Where is the grandson of the mourning family! How can this kid be so good and gone! Yes? What about the grandson of the mourning family! ”
Seeing the situation, Liu stared at her, and squeezed out a few tears, and Concubine Li was even more sad when she saw it, turned to Zhou Yuan, and scolded: "You say! What about the grandson of the mourning family! It has always been you who have been taking care of Guanyin, and you have told the mourning family why Guanyin's child is gone! But you derelict in your duty and killed the grandson of the mourning family! ”
Zhou Yuan was stunned, and immediately felt a little weak when she heard the words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, lowered her head and cried: "The concubine forgives her sins, it's not that the maid is derelict in her duties, but someone really has malicious intentions and wants to attack the little emperor and grandson in Aunt Liu's belly."
"Who is it?" Hearing this, Concubine Li's anger became more and more unbearable, and she immediately answered.
Zhou Yuan pretended to have something unspeakable, glanced at Liu Shi with a fake look, and then said in a low voice: "Son...... The maid didn't dare to say ......"
Seeing her expression, Concubine Li knew what she meant, so she turned her head to look at Liu and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Liu lowered his eyes, pretending to be wronged, and his appearance became more and more pitiful, at this time, Concubine Li was already a little impatient, reprimanded Zhou Yuan, and said, "You say! Who is so bold to do it to the grandson of the mourning family! ”
Zhou Yuan pretended to be the protector again, and was forced to be helpless, and begged: "Concubine Li, you don't want a servant, the servant is only afraid to say it, the prince will blame it, and then he will definitely find Aunt Liu Xingshi to ask for the guilt, you see that Aunt Liu is still sick at this time, how can she withstand the reprimand of the prince......"
Hearing this, Liu hurriedly reprimanded: "Zhou Yuan! You're talkative again! ”
Concubine Li glanced at her sideways, and became more and more suspicious in her heart, wondering who had such a great ability, and told Daozi to not even want her own children in order to protect her.
"You say!" At this time, Concubine Li became more and more impatient, and reprimanded in a deep voice.
Zhou Yuan pretended to be frightened, supported the ground with both hands, hurriedly slammed her head on the ground, and replied tremblingly: "Yes...... It's Miss Xiao, Taoge ......"
Concubine Li was slightly stunned, this Taoge, she said at first that she would wait until Guanyin gave birth to the child, and then send someone to kill her in private, but after a long time, she forgot about her.
I never expected, I never expected that the child in Guanyin's belly was killed by that girl.
Now it seems that that girl is really the eyeliner that Yao'er ordered the Xiao family to place next to Daozi, and she is so not afraid of death that even her grandson dares to move.
At this moment, the eunuch who followed Concubine Li suddenly asked, "Concubine, the slave maid has a question, which is quite puzzling."
Concubine Li didn't look back when she heard this, but just said coldly: "What questions, you say!"
The eunuch said: "Aunt Liu has been pregnant for more than six months, this is almost seven months, it stands to reason that after being pregnant for so long, the child should have been formed, if this is a miscarriage, the child should be born, right, what...... Why Aunt Liu's baby, we haven't even seen the child. ”
Liu was stunned when he heard this, and Zhou Yuan was also terrified.
At this time, Concubine Li felt that something was wrong, so she turned slightly sideways, and looked sideways at the eunuch, and the eunuch then said: "Slave maid, remember that when you were pregnant with the eldest princess of Poyang, you were born prematurely just after six months, and you gave birth to the eldest princess in nine lifetimes, isn't it also the safety of mother and daughter."
When Concubine Li listened, her eyebrows wrinkled, and it was true that this eunuch was right, when she was pregnant with Poyang, she was indeed born four months prematurely, and in the end, together with Poyang, the mother and daughter were safe.
But why, Guanyin was pregnant for nearly seven months, but she failed to give birth to a child, and now she is saved, but why hasn't she even seen the child's body......
She looked at Zhou Yuan and asked, "Where is the grandson of the mourning family?" Zhou Yuan secretly glanced at Liu, and replied in horror: "Child...... The child didn't save it......"
Concubine Li followed up and asked, "What about the child's corpse?"
Zhou Yuan replied: "The corpse ...... The corpse was a puddle of blood, and it was gone when it fell......"
Concubine Li snorted coldly and reprimanded: "You dare to deceive the mourning family, you just gave up the grandson of the mourning family in order to protect the greatness!"
When Zhou Yuan heard this, she secretly rejoiced that Concubine Li must have guessed wrong, so she hurriedly catered to her, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Liu Shi was cold when he heard it, her grandson's life is fate, isn't her life her life!
Concubine Li breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked, "How did Guanyin fall?"
Zhou Yuan pretended to be speechless, and replied hesitantly: "Aunt Liu went to the front yard last night and walked into the corridor, Taoge...... Tao Ge suddenly threw a stone at her, Aunt Liu panicked for a moment, didn't pay attention to her feet, stepped on the stone she thrown, and ...... And he fell......"
After hearing this, Concubine Li couldn't hold back the fire in her stomach anymore, and said angrily: "So blatant, if she is really not afraid of death, pass her over, and the mourning family will interrogate her personally!"
"Yes," Zhou Yuan was secretly happy, and quickly nodded in agreement, then stood up, looked sideways at the maid on the side, and gave her a look.
The maid naturally understood what she meant, turned her head and went out, going straight to Beiyuan. (To be continued.) )
