63. The calamity of innocence
In May, the cicadas chirp.
Without the bladeless night entanglement, Xiao Hanyu seems to have a particularly comfortable life in the past few days: when the sun is not poisonous during the day, she leads Scarlet Xue and others for a walk in the imperial garden, or accompanies the little county lord of Xiangming to drink a bowl of iced sweet soup and take a nap; When the sun goes down in the evening, she will take a hot bath to relax her muscles and bones, and then go back to the room to embroider and read books.
Just as on this day, the white clouds were thick, and she saw that the weather was not too hot, so she went outside again. When passing by a rockery, she happened to see Concubine Mei and Concubine Qing, who had not met for a long time, and saw that there was no way to avoid it, so she had to step forward and salute.
Concubine Qing was quite kind, returned the salute with a smile, and was ready to greet her. But Concubine Mei is different, not only does she not knock people with her eyes, but she is also yin and yang, implying that women have been in favor recently, so she doesn't take them in her eyes anymore, and she doesn't take the initiative to come over to say goodbye on weekdays.
Xiao Hanyu was silent.
As far as human sophistication is concerned, she should go to greet these concubines every once in a while. However, there is no serious queen mother in the court, and there is no explicit rule in the palace, saying that the concubine of the emperor of the current dynasty must go to the concubines of the previous dynasty to ask for peace. If she doesn't like to manage these twists and turns, people may not be willing to bother her. After weighing it, she simply pretended to be stupid, anyway, most of those concubines didn't mind, and most importantly, Li Wujian also acquiesced.
Alas, it seems that it is better to hang out less in the future, so as not to run into this plague god again.
For this Concubine Mei, she really doesn't have a good feeling. In contrast, the Qing concubine who often corresponded with Concubine Mei was a very good master, she not only played a round with a smile, but also calmly shifted the topic to Xiao Hanyu's dress.
"The hosta on the head of the jade concubine is chic."
"Heh, the emperor rewarded you. According to the palace, the emperor is really unable to give all the good things in the world to the jade concubine. Concubine Yu, don't let down the emperor's holy will, you have to serve the emperor well. ”
However, Concubine Qing was kind enough to ease the atmosphere, but this Concubine Mei snatched the conversation by herself, and without waiting for Xiao Hanyu to speak, she started talking to herself.
The young woman was also drunk: where did she provoke this Concubine Mei? Why did you target her again and again?
Having said that, since the other party didn't say anything particularly mean, she didn't want to cause an incident, so as not to worry about it.
Thinking like this, she hooked the corners of her lips casually, looked into Concubine Qing's eyes, and whispered in a harmonious voice: "I also think this hairpin is very chic, it is really the same as that of a hero." ”
When Concubine Qing heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, while the neglected Concubine Mei rolled her eyes and snorted coldly in her nose.
Fortunately, Xiao Hanyu didn't mind this, and Concubine Qing was also a discerning person, so she interrupted with a pleasant face, and pulled Concubine Mei away under the pretext. The seventeen-year-old woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after a little glance at the backs of the two, she turned around and prepared to return to the palace.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a eunuch ran over in a hurry, which made her involuntarily pause.
As a result, the person who came really came to her - I saw him "plop" and kneel in front of her, with a faint cry, and said in a lost voice: "Niangniang, it's not good!" The emperor fainted! ”
Xu is voice was too loud, Xiao Hanyu was stunned at the same time, the two concubines who had not gone far also heard the movement, so they stopped and turned around and witnessed the picture of him kneeling on the ground.
"Why did you faint all of a sudden!?" Suddenly, Xiao Hanyu suddenly returned to his soul, opened his eyes wide, and said hurriedly.
"Minions, minions don't know! The imperial doctor was still diagnosing and treating, and the slave listened to Zhao's father-in-law's instructions, so he hurried to report to his mother! ”
It was Zhao Youde who sent him to inform her......
Xiao Hanyu can be regarded as understanding.
It's just that Li Wuji's body bones have always been good, so good, why did he suddenly faint?!
The woman didn't think much about it, and with a pounding heart, she raised her foot and was about to go with the eunuch to meet someone. At this moment, Concubine Mei and Concubine Qing also turned back and asked what happened. The concubine asked, but the eunuch couldn't help answering, so he had to repeat the news of the emperor's fainting. This is good, Concubine Mei didn't wait for others to say much, shouted "go and see", and with the support of the maid, she rushed to the bedroom of the king of a country in a hurry.
Concubine Qing and Xiao Hanyu also hurriedly followed.
At this time, it doesn't matter whether they are friends or foes with each other, several women are all rushing to their destinations. When they arrived at the Li Wuxian dormitory, they saw that the man who had always been strong and healthy was really lying there with his eyes closed, and the three of them seemed to be a little dazed for a while.
"What the hell is going on!?" As a result, Concubine Mei was the first to react, her eyes widened, and she sharply questioned the eunuchs and palace maids who suddenly knelt on the ground.
Fortunately, just before she was about to open her mouth to scold, the imperial doctor who was concentrating on the pulse stood up in time, hurriedly walked in front of her, and arched his hand: "Qiyu Concubine Niangniang, the emperor is ...... I'm afraid I'm poisoned. ”
"Poisoned!?" As soon as these words came out, the room was shocked, and Concubine Mei blurted out for the first time, with a look of disbelief.
It is true that the poisoning of the Son of Heaven is a big matter! After all, all the meals that went into the emperor's mouth were carefully prepared by special people. Moreover, the meals and tea that the emperor ate and drank every day were also tested for poison and believed that they could be eaten before they could be served. With such strict control, how could there be such a pickled thing!?
"What kind of poison?!" When everyone's hearts were in an uproar, Xiao Hanyu had already taken two steps forward, stared at the imperial doctor and asked.
"This ...... Shu Weichen is incompetent and has not yet been able to diagnose. The imperial doctor was embarrassed, immediately buried his head, and replied in a deep voice.
"Quack!" Concubine Mei was so angry that she was so frightened that the doctor knelt on the spot.
"The concubine is angry! Please give me some more time, I'm already a little brow-raising! ”
"Why don't you go now!? If you can't cure the emperor, don't want your heads! ”
When Xiao Hanyu's heart trembled, Concubine Mei had already scolded loudly. Concubine Qing hurriedly stepped forward to appease, and then the woman with her chest heaving found a chair to sit down, and didn't care about those so-called "quacks".
Fortunately, after two cups of tea, the anxious doctors finally came to a conclusion.
It's just that no one expected that this conclusion would become the beginning of an unwarranted disaster.
