Chapter 213
When Min Wei woke up and saw the delicately carved bedpost for the first time, she was still a little unconscious, and she was confused for two seconds before she remembered what happened before, and before Min Wei could completely think about what happened before, she heard a somewhat familiar voice in the room: "Miss Jiang is awake, you go and tell the Queen Mother." ”
Min Wei turned her head and saw a palace maid saluting the person standing not far from the bed, and then moved out of the room with her footsteps, and the person with her back to Min Wei turned in the direction of Min Wei, with a slightly smiling face and a faint medicinal fragrance on her body, it was the ancient imperial doctor who had treated Min Wei's injuries before, and she really could be called half an acquaintance.
After Min Wei sat up from the bed by the movements of another palace maid in the room, her eyes swept around the room, and then she said to the ancient imperial physician who had obviously woken up but was in no hurry to speak: "Thank you Imperial Physician Gu." ”
Although she didn't know what happened after she fell into a coma, Min Wei could feel that the nameless fire in her heart before had disappeared without a trace, and it should be that the medicine in that room had been resolved.
After listening to Min Wei's words, the smile on the corner of the ancient imperial physician seemed to rise a little more, and he took a bowl of hot medicine from the round table in the room and handed it to the palace maid, watching Min Wei slowly drink the medicine from the palace maid's hand, and then said in a gentle tone: "Fourth Miss doesn't need to be polite, this is the duty of a doctor, not to mention..."
Doctor Gu paused at this point, looking at Min Wei who was puzzled and obediently drinking medicine, but did not continue the following words, Min Wei was really curious about what Doctor Gu wanted to say later, but looking at Doctor Gu's face with a faint smile, he decided not to ask, the more he knew in these years, the shorter his life, since people don't want to say it now, there must be some inside information that Min Wei can't know, so it's better not to ask.
There was silence in the room, waiting for Min Wei to finish drinking the medicine in the bowl, the palace maid put the empty medicine bowl back on the round table, and the ancient imperial physician asked the palace maid to take out a handkerchief and put it on Min Wei's wrist, and said while checking Min Wei's pulse: "Fourth Miss, presumably the Queen Mother will let people come to invite you, I don't know how Fourth Miss plans to get out this time, but what do you want the old man to do?" ”
After listening to the ancient imperial doctor's questioning, Min Wei did not speak immediately, but subconsciously glanced at the palace maid next to her with her head bowed as the background, and then looked at the ancient imperial doctor who was seriously checking the pulse, Min Wei didn't know what happened during the period from her confusion to the time she woke up, and she didn't know what the situation was at this time, and she didn't understand what the purpose of the ancient imperial doctor's overture was, what Min Wei didn't understand the most was why the ancient imperial doctor would show her favor, even if it was for the Jiang family, it was impossible, After all, the Jiang family's family background was not good enough for an envoy of the Imperial Hospital to make such an obvious gesture of goodwill, not to mention that when there were other people in the room, what the ancient imperial doctor was doing this for, Min Wei really couldn't understand it.
"Slave Cining Palace Coral, at the behest of the Queen Mother, I have come to invite Miss Jiang to interrogate." Before Min Wei could speak, the palace maid who had left before came back, and there was another palace maid standing beside her, and after saluting the ancient imperial doctor, she said softly to Min Wei, observing Min Wei's expression as she spoke, feeling like she was afraid of scaring Min Wei.
When Coral came in, the ancient imperial physician had already ordered the previous palace maid to put away the handkerchief, and after the coral finished speaking, the ancient imperial physician stood up and nodded to the coral before looking at Min Wei, as if he wanted to get Min Wei's answer, but unfortunately Min Wei couldn't guess the ancient imperial doctor's intentions, and naturally didn't know what to say, but got up with the support of the palace maid, saluted and thanked the ancient imperial doctor, and then left with Sango.
Probably because the effect of the medicine has not been completely eliminated, although Min Wei is not as uncomfortable as before, but it is inevitable that she is a little unable to exert her strength, and she has a feeling of stepping on the clouds when she walks, without the support of the palace maid around her, Min Wei has no doubt that she will fall directly to the ground in the next second, it seems that even if the medicine of the ancient imperial doctor is good, it can only make Min Wei's head wake up, and cannot let her limbs wake up at the same time.
The speed of the coral in front of her should have been deliberately slowed down, so even if Min Wei didn't walk fast, she could barely keep up, and soon after Min Wei came out of the room, she found that the place where she was at the moment was actually Cining Palace, although she had only been here twice, but because of her curiosity about Cining Palace, the residence of the Queen Mother, Min Wei had a deep memory of this palace, so Min Wei could be so sure.
Sure enough, not long after the three of them left, Min Wei saw the main hall of Cining Palace, but Coral did not lead Min Wei to the main hall, but walked for a while, and arrived at the side hall not far from the main hall, and the palace maid guarding the door of the side hall saw the three of them early, so when the three of them arrived at the door, the door of the side hall was opened from the inside, and Min Wei followed the coral and walked in.
The side hall is not much smaller than the main hall that Min Wei has seen before, but it is very similar to the layout of the main hall, the queen mother who invited Min Wei to come is sitting on the main seat, and her eyes fall on the kneeling person in the center of the hall, the queen mother's side is not far from Princess Yong'an, and then Princess Anping, and a short distance away is sitting Lord Yuru and Princess Hui, at this time, except for the queen mother on the main seat, everyone's eyes are looking at Min Wei.
The atmosphere in the hall is not good, there is a faint smell of blood, the dozen or so palace maids and eunuchs standing in the hall all lowered their heads to reduce their sense of existence, Min Wei followed the footsteps of the coral to the center of the hall, the queen mother's eyes slowly turned around, no longer like Min Wei had seen before, with a smile on her face, but with ice in her eyes, which made people can't help but be in awe at a glance, even if she knew that the cold gaze was not aimed at herself, it also made people feel a chill from the bottom of her heart.
Min Wei was stunned for a moment before letting go of the palace maid who was supporting her and saluting everyone, although the queen mother's eyes were cold, but she still asked the palace maid to bring a small stool to Min Wei, Min Wei hesitated for a moment and immediately saluted the queen mother, before sitting on the small stool, although not as comfortable as the chairs of the other few people, but there was no need to stand.
After sitting down, Min Wei turned her head to look at the person kneeling in the center of the hall, who looked a few years older than herself, her face had only grown a little, with the delicacy of some girls, kneeling there with a pale face, not far in front of her lay a palace maid who could not see her face, there were some blood stains on the palace clothes on her body, her hair was messy, and the tips of her fingers exposed outside the palace clothes were bloody, and her nails could no longer be seen.
When Min Wei saw the thin white fingers stained red with blood, she couldn't help but feel a little sick to her stomach, whether in her previous life or in this life, Min Wei had never seen such a bloody punishment with her own eyes, although she had heard of it, although she knew that there was such a punishment, Min Wei also thought that she had been able to get used to it in her ten years here, but when she really saw it, she couldn't help but have some new understanding of this era that regarded human life as a grass.
"Miss Jiang, I don't know why you went to Jiaofang Hall today?" It often takes some courage to speak in a quiet and weird room, before Princess Yong'an asked this sentence, the side hall was in a quiet to weird atmosphere, from the time Min Wei entered the side hall and sat down, no one in the hall spoke, and there was only the sight of everyone in the air who came and went or tried or looked.
Since waking up, Min Wei has thought about everything that happened before in her heart, and after entering this side hall, Min Wei has been waiting for someone to ask, although she can also explain herself, but if the people in this side hall don't care about the process at all and only care about the result, Min Wei's explanation is probably like what people often say, 'explanation is equal to cover-up'.
With Princess Yong'an's question, Min Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly told the story again, when Min Wei mentioned the palace maid named Yulan, Princess Anping's eyes flashed with a trace of annoyance, but everyone's eyes were on Min Wei, so they didn't notice Princess Anping's mood swings at that moment.
"Miss Jiang has seen this sign?" After Min Wei's words were finished, it was still Princess Yong'an who asked questions first, and the Queen Mother sat on the main seat in a leisurely posture after Min Wei came in.
Although she was a little surprised by the Queen Mother's trust in Princess Yong'an, Min Wei quickly came back to her senses, and then looked at the wooden plaque that Princess Yong'an asked the palace maid to send in front of her, this is a rectangular wooden plaque, lying quietly in the palm of the palace maid's hand, polished very smoothly around, the wooden plaque is engraved with a blooming begonia flower, Min Wei can basically determine after just one glance, this brand is the brand that the palace maid who took her to the Jiaofang Palace before hung on her waist.
It was also because of this brand that Min Wei didn't dare to make excuses to leave, although she only entered the palace a few times, but Min Wei had seen this wooden sign on those palace maids, and most of the signs were hung on their waists, at that time, it was precisely because of this brand on the body of that magnolia, and it was very similar to the ones Min Wei had seen, so Min Wei would follow her to the Jiaofang Hall when she was obviously very suspicious.
"Miss Jiang, do you know her?" After seeing Min Wei nodding and indicating that she had seen the wooden card in the hand of the palace maid, Princess Yongan pointed to the person kneeling in the center of the hall, after Min Wei came in, she had already noticed this palace maid who was always kneeling on the ground, and listened to Princess Yong'an's question at this moment, although she was sure that she didn't know it, but she still looked at it carefully again before shaking her head at Princess Yong'an.
"Hmph, obviously you bribed her to help you trick Sister Qing into going to Jiaofang Palace, and you couldn't do it if you wanted to harm Sister Qing, but now that the matter is exposed, you turn your face and ruthlessly deny it, and it is really ruthless, unrighteous and despicable." Before Princess Yong'an could speak again, Lord Yuru jumped up first, and pointed at Min Wei with an angry face and accused loudly.
The corners of Min Wei's mouth twitched, and she endured it and endured it before she didn't get into trouble with the county lord of Yuru, living in the Jiang family, many people feel that Min Wei, who is a descendant, has a temper like Mo's, so when she was studying, there were always people who wanted to bully Minwei, but in the end she didn't get what she wanted.
"Miss Jiang, you might as well take a closer look." Compared with the excitement of the county lord of Yuru, Princess Hui, who was sitting next to her, was a little calmer, and after holding the county lord of Yuru who was still about to speak, she looked at Min Wei with a faint smile and said.
No matter how many times I watch it, it is impossible for me to know someone I haven't seen, although Min Wei secretly complained in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face, so she just followed Princess Hui's glance at the palace maid a few more times, and then saluted to everyone and said: "The courtier really hasn't seen this palace maid sister, I don't know where the county lord's bribery and wanting to harm Miss Du start?" ”
Min Wei has always thought that her character has been restrained in the boring life of the past ten years, at least in the face of absolute rights, she will learn to bow her head and compromise, but it turns out that she has not, the only thing she has learned in the past ten years is probably just that people don't offend me, I don't offend people.
"The Queen Mother spared her life, the slave maid should not have accepted Miss Jiang's silver, let alone let someone deceive Miss Du, the slave maid did not dare anymore, and begged the Queen Mother to spare the slave and maid this time." Probably stimulated by Min Wei's words, the palace maid who was originally kneeling on the ground with a pale face suddenly became excited, and kept kowtowing while begging for mercy incoherently, and the force of the knock down was very great, but after a few strokes, the forehead was broken, a trace of blood flowed out, and there were some blood stains on the ground.
Min Wei admits that she is really depressed at the moment, but being splashed with dirty water in front of her like this, probably no one will feel happy, and she doesn't know whose house this palace maid is, and she dares to splash dirty water in front of the main owner, is it because she looks too easy to bully?
"The Empress Dowager Mingjian, the courtiers have a few words I want to ask this palace maid sister." Although it can be seen at a glance that the Queen Mother handed over the matter to Princess Yong'an, after all, everyone in this palace can't get past the Queen Mother, so Min Wei naturally has to ask the Queen Mother's consent before she wants to do anything.
The Queen Mother listened to Min Wei's words and did not nod immediately, but squinted her eyes slightly at Min Wei, as if she was guessing what way Min Wei wanted to justify herself, and seemed to have other ideas, the room suddenly became quiet, Lord Yuru wanted to say something, but was secretly suppressed by Princess Hui, at this moment the Queen Mother gave people a feeling a bit like Min Wei when she faced the emperor's coercion, being looked at like this would always produce some suffocating pressure.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, but in fact it was only a few minutes, the Queen Mother finally retracted her gaze, continued to close her eyes and nod lightly while recuperating, and agreed to Min Wei's request, the faces of the people in the room were different, but in the end they did not raise any objections, but the palace maid who kept kowtowing didn't care about kowtowing at this time, just looked at Min Wei tremblingly.
