Chapter 154: The Empress Dowager's Self-Cleansing (1132+)
Liu Rong was not sent back to her room, but to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
"What's going on?" The Empress Dowager had just taken a nap and saw her grandson come in with Liu Rong in her arms, what was in Liu Rong's arms? The old lady saw only a small, unkempt head.
"Bad!" The little head finally let go, revealing a small face full of tears. He still had a white towel tied around his neck, and he felt like he hadn't eaten a snack, and he was watered again, and he was scared. Along the way, Liu Rong ignored him, just hugged the strange brother, and he said that he was deeply hurt.
The old lady laughed 'poof', what is this, it will not be Liu Rong who has been out for a few months and secretly gave birth to a doll by herself. But as soon as I finished laughing, I saw my grandson's sad and angry face. and has come back to his senses, got up from the kang, hugged Xiaodouding down, and said goodbye to the Queen Mother in a decent manner.
"What's the matter, okay, why did you go back to the palace together?" The Empress Dowager also felt that the problem was a bit serious. He asked while calling Liu Rong.
"Mei Niang, you say." Mama Shu looked at Meiniang, whose face was still pale, but she still felt that it was the easiest for her.
"Please punish the Queen Mother, it is not good for Meiniang to protect the girl, so that the girl is in the way of others, and Meiniang is ashamed." Mei Niang burst into tears again, her little heart.
The Empress Dowager listened to the cause and effect in silence, and looked sideways at Liu Rong, who was sitting at the bottom of the head with Xiao Youyou, who was distracted again, she looked very professional in hugging Xiao Youyou, as if she had held a child for a lifetime. Even if it is herself, I am afraid that it may not be better than her now.
Xiao Youyou is better now, he is stretching his neck and looking around, this is the place where he was born, he has never been anywhere except his grandmother's house, so he is curiously looking for something he is interested in.
When the child pulls her, she listens intently, then shakes her head at him and tells him not to speak. The little baby obviously listened to Liu Rong's words, so he leaned on Liu Rong's arms very arbitrarily, where could he see that he was about to cry just now.
Although the Empress Dowager did not support Liu Rong to enter the palace quickly, let alone support her to have a child earlier than the queen, she is still distressed now, and the child she brought up with her own hands may never be a mother now. The corners of the Empress Dowager's mouth also twitched, but after all, she had also been through the wind and rain for a long time, and swallowed her saliva.
"Okay, one is sick, the other has to rest, what are they doing here? Go and clean up the warm pavilion in front of the mourning house and let Rong'er live. Call a doctor to come in and show Mei Niang, this pale face is really unbearable. ”
Mama Shu also understood that the Empress Dowager let Liu Rong live in the warm pavilion of her dormitory, just to protect, at least here, there can be no more accidents.
Mei Niang saluted the Empress Dowager and sent Liu Rong in. There are some things that they don't want to listen to anymore.
The warm pavilion is actually a small cubicle in front of the main house, which is usually for the owner to rest. But later, the elders would usually set aside this place for their beloved grandchildren to live in. After all, it's not small, and it's enough for a child. Being able to live in the warm pavilion later became a favored expression.
Before Liu Rong let Mei Niang live in her own warm pavilion, it was convenient to take care of her; And now the Empress Dowager has let Liu Rong live here, it is like an edict to the world, this is the person she covers, and whoever touches her again will slap the Empress Dowager in the face.
"Auntie, can I still have children?" Liu Rong didn't dare to ask anyone, she only dared to ask Meiniang now.
"Of course you will, you're just a little bit wet, you're still young, it's okay, it's okay." Mei Niang hugged Liu Rong and cried again, her little heart has never done anything bad, is it just because she is in the way of others, so it has become like this?
Xiao Youyou was a little scared, so she hurriedly came over and cried together. Let the female officials of Cining Palace who were watching from the side also feel sad, but Liu Rong also grew up with them, not to mention the master and slave, they have only been out for a few days, and they all have a feeling of sadness when the rabbit dies and the fox.
Outside, everyone's face sank.
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, she had also seen this kind of medicine, or rather, she had this medicine, otherwise, how would Mei Niang know. But this medicine has been more than 40 years, and when she got married, her mother gave it, so only the maid who accompanied the marriage knew. But there is a limit to being a man, she hates Concubine Rong so much, and she has never given this medicine to Concubine Rong. Therefore, who else has this medicine and who takes it.
"Go and see, is the share I received?" The Empress Dowager asked Mama Shu to go and see it.
In front of the old lady, Mama Shu took out a black porcelain bottle in a hidden small cabinet on the Bogu shelf. But she didn't open it, but put her hands in front of the Empress Dowager.
Because of the people who know this porcelain vase, only the Empress Dowager and herself know in the entire Cining Palace. As for Mei Niang, she should know that there is this medicine, but she shouldn't know where to put it. But with Meiniang's relationship with her, she can't get rid of suspicion. So, she just took out the bottle and asked the Queen Mother to check it herself.
The Empress Dowager personally opened it and took a look, sniffed it, and reached out to touch the powder.
"!" Mama Shu exclaimed, they all knew that this was a strong medicine, how could they let the Empress Dowager touch it.
"Okay, I won't have children again, what are you afraid of." The Empress Dowager put the medicine in her finger in her mouth and tasted it, nodded, rinsed her mouth with water, and then turned to Jingyou, "This thing is lost, and it was given by my mother when I entered the palace." It's this bottle, a full bottle, which I've never used. The only one in my palace who knows this should be Mama Shu. Mei Niang should also know, but she should know from Mama Zhuang. Now, the bottle is intact, so they can now be ruled out from stealing. ”
"Grandchild has never suspected Rong'er." Jingyou said angrily, if he doubted, how could he send Liu Rong back, but after the Queen Mother finished speaking, his face became even heavier, because the Queen Mother gave him another direction, and then personally cut off this direction.
The Empress Dowager shook her head lightly and let out a long sigh, her grandson's angry appearance was really like the Empress Dowager's youth, the same righteousness and unreasonableness. The son is also like this, is it true that all the men in this family are like this? One is more impulsive than the other.
"Of course, but I'll show you first. Only by proving their innocence can you have the confidence to track down others. The Empress Dowager asked Mama Shu to take down the bottle and show it to Jingyou.
Jingyou still opened it, it was full of bottles, he smelled it, this is a strong violet aroma, I didn't expect such a sweet thing to be so harmful. (To be continued.) )
