==Chapter 108==

When it comes to those people, the words are a bit far.

After Jiuniang was injured, the news immediately spread to the Anguo Mansion. The people of the Xiao family didn't mention what they thought, and the next day the Duchess of An Guo ordered the Cui family to bring someone to visit Jiuniang's condition, but she failed to enter the gate of the Chu Palace.

No, I can only find another way, under the pretext of sending things to Jiuniang, sending medicinal materials and supplements, etc., to come to the Chu Palace. The Xiao family didn't know how Jiu Niang was injured, but they only knew that the injury was not light, and the Xiao family couldn't find out the inside situation, so they naturally wanted to arrange for someone to come in to find out what was going on by sending someone to wait for Jiu Niang.

Of course, the purpose is not only that, the palace of the king of Chu has always been strict, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, since the Xiao family wants to have a relationship with the king of Chu, they naturally have other thoughts.

No, by sending handmaids to Jiu Niang, in addition to picking two of Jiu Niang's personal maidservants from Cuiyun Pavilion, several other maids also entered the Chu Palace. It's just that the king of Chu is not a fool, except for Xiao Can and Lianfang, the others sent by the Anguo Mansion have been placed in other places.

The people in Lianfang's mouth are those handmaidens.

Since Jiuniang woke up, these handmaidens have repeatedly come to the door to ask for a meeting, looking like they want to die for Jiuniang, but no one pays attention to them. Outside the Yanyu Pavilion, the King of Chu specially arranged for someone to guard it, and they couldn't even enter the courtyard gate.

Today they came again, kneeling outside the courtyard gate to see the nine ladies one by one, which is also the reason why Xiaocan's face is not good.

Jiuniang had heard about it for a long time, but she was seriously injured and didn't have the energy to care about it. Since a few people came again today, and she also wanted to see what the Xiao family was up to, she ordered Lianfang to bring a few people in to see her.

After a short time, Lian Fang led the handmaidens in.

As soon as they arrived in front of Jiu Niang, these maids knelt down, and one of the servant girls led by them was full of grievances, whispered to Jiu Niang to tell her grievances, and said that she and the others were specially arranged by the old lady to serve Jiu Niang, and she was afraid that the people in the Chu Wangfu would not wait well, so that Jiu Niangzi suffered any grievances in the palace.

Grievance?

At least in the days when the Chu Wangfu was recuperating from his injuries, no one dared to wronged Jiu Niang. The attitude of the king of Chu is so obvious, the nine ladies were in a coma for a few days, the king of Chu almost did not leave the guard, and then the nine niangs woke up, although the king of Chu left the Yanyu Pavilion, but he would also take time to come every day, and even occasionally the two would have a meal together, which one ate the bear-hearted leopard dared to give Jiuniang a grievance.

Of course, this qiē is only known to the people who are waiting in the Yanyu Pavilion, and the reason why the gate of the Yanyu Pavilion is so strict is not only for the Xiao family, but also for those who can wait here are all people who are extremely loyal to the King of Chu.

It's just that these handmaidens don't know about it, and they just think that some people deliberately set them aside and don't let them appear in front of Jiu Niangzi, so as not to be robbed of their positions by themselves and others.

As for those people, they are naturally Lianfang and Xiaocan, and they are also the maidservants from the Xiao family, only these two people entered the Yanyu Pavilion to wait, but they didn't want to think that Lianfang and Xiaocan were Jiu Niang's personal maids, and it was natural for them to come to Jiu Niang's side to wait.

Of course, it's not that simple.

Jiuniang was helped up by Lian Fang, leaning on the couch, and Xiao Jiu'er immediately jumped on her knees. Jiuniang scratched Xiao Jiu'er's chin with her fingers and focused her eyes on these maidservants.

Even if these people all lowered their heads, Jiu Niang could see that their colors were excellent, slender and small waists, like weak willows facing the wind, and the clothes they wore were also purple and red, which looked particularly pleasing to the eye.

Especially the one who is kneeling at the head, with a melon seed face, Danfeng eyes, and occasional coquettish colors between her eyebrows, such a maid said that she was sent to serve her, Jiu Niang really wanted to say twice.

In fact, a little discerning people can see that because of the unequal status of the servant girls in various houses, although the handmaidens who have a face in front of the masters are of low status, their treatment is not bad compared to the little ladies of some rich families. But if it's true, it's not qualified to wear clothes of such texture.

Jiu Niang's eyes were sharp, and she could see at a glance that the clothes worn by these handmaidens were not the regulations that handmaidens in the Anguo Mansion should have. Not to mention the clothes, just by the appearance of a few of them dressed up in fancy ways, you can see the clues.

I'm afraid that serving Jiuniang is fake, and it is true to come to explore the inside story, and if you can hook up with something that happened to the King of Chu by the way, I'm afraid it is the real mind over there.

After all, Jiuniang has always been more perfunctory about the entrapment of the King of Chu explained by the Duchess of Anguo, and the Duchess of Anguo is not a fool, and she can see some clues after a long time. Of course, she didn't realize that Jiu Niang actually did it on purpose, just because she was young and didn't understand this. Although the Duchess of Anguo had the idea of marrying Xiao Jiuniang to the King of Chu, this matter could not be done for a while, and it would be good if she could arrange a few loyal Neishou to be by the side of the King of Chu.

Men, there are a few beauties who can refuse a thousand charming beauties, dangling in front of them every day, even if they don't accept it, they can find out a word and a half, and it is enough for the Xiao family to be infinitely useful. You must know that the King of Chu has always been cold-faced, and the Xiao family has always been unable to get along with this side, so he finally found an opportunity, so he naturally won't let it go.

It's just that it's a little too obvious, and I don't know who arranged it.

Duchess Anguo and Cui's are naturally not so stupid, even if they have this kind of thought, they will not be so obvious, it can only be said that they overestimate the brains of these handmaidens. For the arrangement of the above, these handmaidens also know in their hearts, who doesn't want to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, if they can wait for the king of Chu, it is undoubtedly a beautiful thing for them to turn over, and naturally spare no effort to show their beauty.

The maidservant girl who was the leader was still crying, and the implication in her words was that someone deliberately excluded them so that they could not wait by the lady's side. And he kept talking about the old lady between his words, and it seemed that he wanted to use the Duchess of Anguo to suppress Jiuniang.

Duchess An Guo is the grandmother of Jiuniang, and the elders dare not resign, and the cats and dogs rewarded by the elders are more noble than people.

On the side, Lian Fang and Xiao Can's faces were extremely ugly, but they didn't say anything because of the rules. Jiuniang is delicate, is this to see that she is too idle, and sent it to her for fun?

I don't know if the Duchess of Anguo is old and blind, with such a clear means, the king of Chu will eat this set to have a ghost.

How did she know that Mrs. Anguo was indeed scheming, but in the end, she was also an inner house woman, who had stayed in the one-acre and three-point land of An Guogong Mansion for a long time, and she was used to doing whatever she wanted, and she couldn't jump out of the vision of the inner house woman in her thoughts. After all, from what she can see, men are all romantic, which one is not three wives and four concubines who have a lot of women in the house.

Jiu Niang suddenly felt bored for a while, talking to such a person really lowered her IQ.

She made a look of listening attentively, and then said: "I understand your thoughts, and I know that you are all good, but this is in the Chu Palace, and I am also temporarily living here to recuperate, but I dare not deviate rashly." ”

The maid with phoenix eyes didn't expect Jiu Niangzi to refuse, so she raised her head in disbelief and said, "Lady, the slave maid and the others are sent by the old lady to wait for you!" ”

Jiu Niang rolled her eyes in her heart, but said on her face: "I know this, but do you think there seems to be a lack of people around me to serve?" ”

Jiuniang is indeed not short of people waiting, I didn't see it, but it was just breathing outside, in addition to Lianfang and Xiaocan, there were two handmaidens who played fans, and two handmaidens who carried all kinds of things, one of them was specially looking at Xiaojiu'er, afraid that it would run around.

"The reason why Lian Fang and Xiao Can were able to come in and wait was because they used to serve by my side. Okay, don't stay longer, since it's in someone else's house, you must abide by the rules of someone else's house, so as not to make people laugh at the people in Anguo's mansion for not understanding the rules. Lianfang, you can take a few of them out. ”

Lian Fang immediately stood up and made a gesture of please.

These people were unwilling, and they didn't dare to protest in front of Jiu Niang, so they were reluctant to get up from the ground and follow Lianfang out.

In the evening, when the king of Chu returned from an errand, this matter came to his ears.

"Let these people pack up and send someone to send them back to the Anguo Mansion, this king is just too lazy to take care of them, and it's really stupid to be this king."

Chang Shun hurriedly ordered the attendant on the side to go down and do it.

"Your Highness, are you going to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion?"

King Chu's face softened and nodded.

Chang Shun praised his wit in his heart, His Highness went out to do business today, things were not very smooth, and it was conceivable that His Highness would definitely not be able to think of eating for a while. At this time, there must not be a meal on the side of Yanyu Pavilion, and the King of Chu has passed at this time, so he doesn't need to wait for a while.

*

These handmaidens were packed up and sent back to the Anguo Mansion.

In An Rong Courtyard, Duchess An Guo looked unhappy.

"The old lady is really not that the slaves and maids are not dedicated, but the guards of the Chu Wangfu are too strict, and the slaves and maids stay in the courtyard and can't move around at will. I went to ask the nine ladies many times, but the nine ladies didn't see us, and finally saw them today, but they were kicked out by the lady. ”

Several maidservants knelt down and wept and complained, looking so pitiful.

On the way out of the Chu Palace, these maids were all nervous, what kind of character the old lady was, they all knew that they didn't succeed this time, and they would definitely not be able to escape punishment when they came back, so after several people discussed, they deliberately pushed the responsibility to Jiuniang.

"That's it, old lady, Jiu Niangzi, she only let Lianfang and Xiaocan wait by her side, we can't even enter the gate of the courtyard where she lives, it's really not that the slave maid and others are incompetent, but there is really no way to ......"

Duchess An Guo frowned tightly, and was so annoyed by crying that she was upset: "Get out of here." ”

Aunt Hu stood up, and several people hurriedly climbed down.

"This Jiuniang is really getting older and more disobedient, I just think she is young and ignorant, how do I know that she will also use this method."

Duchess An Guo didn't think of anything else, but when Jiuniang saw the meaning of the family, she was jealous and deliberately brought these maids back.

"Jiu Niang is still young after all, and it is not surprising that she will have this kind of reaction. Ah Jia always said that Jiuniang was young, and now it seems that she is not young. After she returns home, let's dial from the side, if she can take the initiative, why don't we worry about big things. Cui Shi on the side covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, meaning something.

Hearing this, Duchess An Guo's face softened.

They are all women, so they naturally understand the trick, no matter how they dialed Jiuniang in the past, she looked ignorant, and the Duchess of Anguo only thought that she was not enlightened, and she was depressed, but it was difficult to say on her face.

Now that Xiao Jiuniang knows how to be jealous, it can be seen that she also understands. The so-called female chasing men in the veil, the king of Chu has a weak personality, and there is probably only Jiu Niang who can go in and out of his side, if Jiu Niang can take the initiative, it is a sure thing for the Xiao family to have a princess of Chu.

"It's just ruining our business." Duchess An Guo is still a little angry about the maid next to her being brought back.

Cui Shi smiled and persuaded: "It's always getting better and better, with Jiu Niang in it, the King of Chu will be taken down just around the corner, so why care about these details." ”

Duchess An Guo nodded, agreeing with Cui's idea.

"Although this incident happened suddenly, it is also very beneficial to our family. Fortunately, Jiu Niang was smart, and she didn't go back to the house at that time, but went to the Chu Wangfu, otherwise she really didn't know what else was waiting over there. That poisonous woman, if she doesn't be a demon for a day, she is uncomfortable, and her methods are really ruthless, if Jiuniang is killed by her, and it spoils the big things in the family, I will not spare her. ”

Jiu Niang was ambushed on the street this time, although the Xiao family didn't know the specifics inside, but they also knew the mastermind behind it. Zuo is just the demon made by Chongyue Pavilion, because no one understands the temperament of the county lord of Chaoxia better than the Xiao family, she must be unwilling to suffer Xiao Liuniang's loss, and went to ask Princess Changping to take action, but no one thought that she would be so ruthless, and she actually wanted to kill Xiao Jiuniang directly.

At the beginning, the people of the Xiao family were very embarrassed, but fortunately, Jiuniang has been staying in the Chu Wangfu since she was engaged, and the relationship between the Xiao family and the Chu Wangfu is well known, and they are not allowed to enter the door, so they simply pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they are not offended in both places. In private, Duchess Anguo has always been glad that Jiuniang is fine, otherwise the Xiao family would have lost a lot.

Cui Shi didn't listen to Duchess Anguo's words of 'I will not spare her', she understands the character of the A family too well, and always swears by it, but it will always end up without a problem, otherwise Chongyue Pavilion would not have been in the Anguo Mansion for so many years.

Cui Shi blinked, stroked his heart, and pretended to have palpitations, "Don't say, the fifth brother and sister are becoming more and more ruthless now, and they actually use such means to deal with Jiuniang, and I don't want to think that they hurt others first, how could I have thought that they didn't harm Jiuniang, but they hurt Liuniang by mistake." Liuniang's child is also pitiful, it is said that he cries every day without eating or drinking, what a sin. ”

"Who can she complain, she can't complain about anyone, she only complains about herself!"

After this incident, the Duchess of Anguo was also very jealous of the lord of Chaoxia, and there were many secrets in the back house, but no one would send someone to ambush and kill the other party on the street. Today is to deal with Xiao Jiuniang, tomorrow will it be her family who offended her, and also wanted to kill her.

It's really unfortunate for the family to marry such a poisonous woman!

"You ordered the people below to keep an eye on the Chongyue Pavilion, lest she become a demon again!"

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, the younger sister of the county lord of Chaoxia never gave her face, and even repeatedly commanded her, and the Cui family had long been secretly hated by her.

This time something like this happened, Cui Shi and Duchess An Guo had the same idea, and they were afraid that one day they would not know how to offend each other, and the other party would attack them. It's so good, even if they find out that she ordered someone to spy on her, she has an excuse to excuse herself.

*

In the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, Imperial Physician Liu came to ask for a pulse again.

He passed the veil and checked Jiu Niang's pulse for half a ring, and said: "Jiu Niangzi's body has almost recovered, but there are still some signs of qi and blood deficiency. If the knife wound is wounded, it will not be good for a while, the old minister looks good, but he must pay attention to maintenance and dressing change during the day, the weather is hot, and the wound must not be wet, and the other-"

He paused, his face hesitant.

"What else?" The King of Chu, who was sitting on the side, asked.

"Jiu Niangzi fell into the water and suffered from the cold once in her early years, although she recuperated later, but in the end it also hurt her foundation. This rain and cold, once again hurt the fundamentals, itself has the appearance of palace cold, this time is even more strict, if you are not careful, I am afraid that there will be an obstacle in the future. ”

King Chu frowned, Jiu Niang was also stunned, and her face turned pale.

Hindering the heirs?

In her previous life, she had a bad heir, but it had nothing to do with Gong Han, but because of physical trauma. She never thought that the poisonous girl would pit her so much, saying that she was worry-free during the drug test, but on the surface she was really worry-free, but on the inside it was not the same thing.

At first, she didn't know about it, but after she drew a line with the king of Chu, one day the king of Chu sent someone to inform her about it. For Jiuniang, who was bent on marrying Wang Shilang at that time, this news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. She thought that King Chu was lying to her and didn't want her to leave the Xiao family to get married, so she ignored it.

It wasn't until she married into the Wang family that she couldn't get pregnant that she remembered it. So she secretly looked for a doctor to see, and sure enough, the king of Chu didn't lie to her, she thought of him too despicably.

After knowing this, Jiu Niang couldn't slow down for many days, but the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to talk about anything else. After that, she hid the news, pretending to be fine, but in private, she sought medical advice everywhere......

Sometimes Jiuniang thinks back to her previous life, is it really because she and Wang Shilang have come to that point because of each other's inappropriate personalities? Sometimes she wonders if she could have given birth in her previous life, wouldn't she have let things get to that point......

The answer is unsolvable.

But this matter has always been hidden in Jiu Niang's heart, so when she came back in this life, she had been carefully protecting her body, but she never thought that two accidents in a row would cause such a situation......

Sure enough, it still can't change when you come back to work, and what should come will always come. Even if you don't come now, it will come in a different way in the future.

"Lady, lady, are you okay?" Lian Fang said in a hurry.

King Chu looked at Jiu Niang's suddenly pale face, frowned, and asked, "There is no way to govern it?" ”

Doctor Liu stroked his beard, pondered for a moment and said: "It's not that it can't be treated, but it takes time, and this depends on the effect of recuperation, it may be good for a year and a half, or it may take longer." ”

"If you can cure it, you can go down."

King Chu waved everyone away and looked at Jiu Niang fixedly: "Don't worry too much about this matter, since Imperial Doctor Liu said that it can be cured, he will definitely be able to cure you, but it is only a matter of time." ”

The king of Chu has never been able to comfort people, and it is extremely rare to be able to say such things this time.

Jiuniang raised her head and smiled reluctantly at King Chu, "It's that in the future, you will have to continue to take medicine every day." ”

King Chu stretched out his hand and stroked her brow, his eyes wandering, not knowing what he was thinking. Jiu Niang also looked thoughtful, and the room was quiet.

*

"Your Royal Highness, the ninth lady's health is fine, and she is a little healthier than before, but according to the two imperial doctors, if the lady marries in the future, there may be some obstacles in the heirs......"

"This king will listen to the truth."

"Jiu Niangzi hurts the root, and there will be no children in the future, and she will not be able to give birth."

……

In the dimly lit room, there was a color of silence.

The tulle curtains are layered on top of each other, and there is a faint hint of fragrance wafting in the night sky.

On the bed, King Chu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes dark and churning.

"Chang Shun."

King Chu rubbed his eyebrows and sat up from the couch.

But after a while, I often came in from the outside in a hurry.

"Why did Your Highness wake up? Let's sleep a little longer, it's the third watch day. As he spoke, he took a cushion and put it behind King Chu.

"Is there any news from Changfeng?"

Chang Shun's face was stunned, and he said: "Not for the time being, but last time the news came that he had taken someone to Xiangxi, hoping to find the poisonous girl this time." ”

King Chu touched the ring on his hand, hesitated, and said, "Inform Changfeng and let him go to Shuzhong, Cuiyun Mountain." "If that dream is true, he should be able to find the poisonous girl in Cuiyun Mountain, because in that dream, his people found the poisonous girl in Cuiyun Mountain.

Chang Shun was puzzled, how could His Highness suddenly order Changfeng to go to Shu to find the poisonous girl, did His Royal Highness know that the poisonous girl was in Shu? However, he generally never questioned the order given by the king of Chu, so he nodded and agreed.

"Serve this king to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion."

"Yes."

……

Jiu Niang slept in a daze, and always felt that someone was watching her.

When she opened her eyes, there was an extra person in front of her, which startled her.

"Cousin, why are you here?" If she remembered correctly, it must have been late at night.

The king of Chu ignored her and let Chang Shun serve him on the couch, and Jiuniang on the couch didn't know what to say. If I remember correctly, this was her bed, why did he come when he wanted to?

Slander to slander, but still couldn't stop the king of Chu from lying down on his couch. Jiu Niang was far away from him, and her injuries were much better at this time, and she was not in the same embarrassment as she used to be unable to move.

She cleared her throat, "Cousin, you haven't answered me yet, why are you here now?" ”

King Chu glanced at her, "This king has a nightmare." ”

That means I have nightmares, so I can't sleep, so I need someone to □□!? Jiu Niang can't wait to cut open the head of King Chu to see what is inside, and he is not a child, and he can still have nightmares and dare not sleep alone? Even if he really doesn't dare to sleep alone, he can't come to her, you must know that she is just his cousin, just a cousin.

No one knows the grievances in Jiu Niang's heart, and the king of Chu always seems to be able to ignore the unwillingness on her face, he stretched out his hand and hugged Jiu Niang and wrapped him.

"Don't move, this king has something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

King Chu stroked her long hair, pondered it, and said: "Actually, if you think about it from another angle, this matter is not a bad thing, at least my father's side will completely dispel the idea of accepting you as the prince's concubine." ”

Jiuniang froze for a long time before relaxing her body.

Yes, this is the only luck in misfortune, and the king of Chu will also give up the idea of marrying himself as the princess of Chu, after all, she will have a difficult heir in the future, and she can kill two birds with one stone.

She should be very happy, after all, she didn't think about getting married from the beginning, but why didn't she have any happy feelings......

The night was already very deep, and Jiu Niang didn't know when she had fallen asleep.

King Chu looked at her sleeping face very carefully.

……

“…… As long as I can, as long as you want, there is no time limit, and you can make a request to this king at any time......"

……

"As long as I can, as long as you want to ......," King Chu muttered almost silently.

What a fool he is!
