The one hundred and forty-ninth round
It is said that Concubine Jin hurriedly ran to her niece's room, and before she entered the door, she heard her niece's cry, and when she went in to see, Jin Cuiqiao sat on the bed and cried loudly, and when she saw her coming, she immediately shouted: "Auntie, I'm afraid I won't live long!" You must think of saving me, aunt! ”
When Concubine Jin saw her crying with snot and tears on her face, she didn't sit down on the edge of her bed, sat down on a chair next to her, and asked her where she was unwell.
Concubine Jin was helpless, so she asked the maid who served her on the side, "What's wrong with your second concubine, what bad things did she vomit, this imperial doctor hasn't come to see yet, why do you say these unlucky words, could it be that she vomited blood?" ”
When the maid saw that the question came to them, she had to say: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, His Royal Highness came to say that he wanted to have wine with the second concubine, and he didn't want us to serve." Later, His Royal Highness suddenly ordered us to bring in the sobering soup, saying that the second concubine was drunk, and the soup had been prepared a long time ago, so we went in and fed it to the second concubine, but who would have thought that as soon as the mother drank the sobering soup, although she woke up immediately, she began to cough and vomit, not only vomiting out all the wine and food she had eaten before, but also vomiting out——"
"What did you spit out? Say it quickly! Concubine Jin saw that this girl was talking so much, and when it came to the critical moment, she stopped talking and hurriedly asked.
The maid thought of the thing that the second concubine Niangniang spit out, and forcibly endured the disgusting fear in her heart, and replied tremblingly: "The second concubine Niangniang, she actually spit out two, two centipedes......"
As the maid spoke, the two red-headed and black-bodied centipedes that Concubine Jin spit out at that time wriggled and moved in a pile of vomited filth resurfaced in her mind, and she seemed to still smell the sour and rancid stench in her nose.
Concubine Jin was also taken aback by the strange thing that her niece actually vomited a centipede, so she was surprised, and she didn't pay attention to the maid's misdemeanor, she stayed for a moment before she remembered and asked: "Why don't you go and ask the imperial doctor, what are you all doing here?" ”
Another maid replied, "Back to the concubine Niangniang, His Royal Highness has personally ordered someone to ask for a doctor." ”
Concubine Jin followed and asked, "What about the prince, Cui Qiao is so sick, why isn't he here to accompany her?" ”
She now feels that even centipedes can spit out, but I'm afraid that this niece is really seriously ill, if she doesn't have many days to live, she will have to do a funeral not long after the happy event, but it's really unlucky! I have to get another niece in the door since I turn around, and the more I think about it, the more annoying it becomes.
The little maid lowered her head and didn't dare to reply, even if she was beaten and scolded by the concubine, she didn't dare to say what the prince said at that time, "Tsk, it's really disgusting, this king will never think of you in this house in the future!" If she had said that, she would have to stay in bed for at least three months.
Fortunately, at this time, a person rushed in from outside the door for her to understand the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan, as soon as the person came in, he first saluted with Concubine Jin and said: "Concubine Niangniang, just now His Royal Highness suddenly came to our princess's room angrily, smashed a bunch of things, not to mention, and pulled out a whip to say that the princess dared not honor her mother-in-law, and deserved to be whipped three hundred whips by him, so that she can have a long memory!" Concubine Niangniang, princess, she has served you for so long, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, if you really suffer the three hundred whips of Your Highness, I am afraid that you will die! ”
"I also ask the concubine to be merciful, so as to persuade His Royal Highness to save our princess! This is the whole world, that is, your words, Your Highness will listen to it, and please have mercy! ”
Concubine Jin said unhappily: "Why did Fei'er come to your courtyard?" ”
Mama Du hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The old slave is not very clear, it seems that His Royal Highness went to the concubine's room first, and saw the plate of fish tartle made by our princess herself on the table, and somehow started a fire, and took the plate of fish tarther to our princess angrily, pointing at our princess's nose and scolding her face. ”
"What do you say, as a daughter-in-law, she actually let her mother-in-law eat raw meat, scolded our princess for not knowing how to honor your old man, concubine, scolded and scolded, took out the whip and began to whip it indiscriminately. A few of us wanted to help the princess intercede, and all of them were thrown out by His Royal Highness, and the old slave listened to the movement there was too big, and he was afraid that the situation was a little bad, so he ignored the rules and came to ask the princess to save our princess! ”
When Concubine Jin heard this, it turned out that her son was angry for herself, and she immediately turned her anger into joy, and said unhurriedly and in a witty tone: "How big of a deal should I be?" It's just such a big little thing, it's worth it for you to be in a hurry like this, you don't even care about the rules, you come to me and shout, you have been in the palace before, and now it's only been a few years out of the palace, and you have forgotten all the rules, so presumptuous! ”
Mama Du hurriedly knelt down and said: "The old slave was in a hurry, forgot the rules, and asked the concubine to punish her, but our princess is there-"
Concubine Jin waved her hand impatiently and said, "If you get it, isn't it just a few whips?" Who let her dare to put a plate of raw fish and meat on me and say what a famous dish, without my orders, he dared to sneak back to his own yard, the prince went to teach her a lesson, but I had to punish her in person! ”
This son also knows how to be angry for her mother, and finally he didn't give birth to him in vain, and it is better for him to beat Zhou Caiwei than to go out by himself, after all, his mother-in-law will live in this mansion for a month at most, and then he will have to go back to the courtyard of Cheng'en Mansion, and when the time comes, this Linchuan Mansion is still Qin Fei's final say, if he is also disgusted with this Zhou Caiwei, then he can leave this palace without any worries.
Mama Du said worriedly: "The old slave is really afraid that if His Royal Highness doesn't make a serious move, he will beat the princess to-"
The concubine slapped the table and said: "Fei'er is my son, I still don't know the weight of his hands, besides, this husband beats his wife, there are more in the world, and he really killed people without seeing it, this woman, she is resistant!" Let you girls be whipped a few times first, and when my son sends out the anger in his heart, it will be over. ”
She saw that Mama Du was still kneeling there and not moving, and said angrily: "What are you still kneeling here, don't you see that Concubine Ben is busy?" Concubine Jin has a strange illness, I want to take care of my niece, where do I have the time to take care of other trivial things! If it weren't for the fact that you were quite respectful to Concubine Ben when you were in the palace, I wouldn't have punished you today! Why don't you get back to me! ”
