Chapter 173: Feng Hai
Xu Youshan gritted her teeth secretly, but she still hurried to keep up with Concubine Xian's footsteps, but she didn't need anyone else to guide her at all, and in front of Concubine Xian, there was naturally an internal supervisor who led the way for Concubine Xian.
Xie Jing's Chu Palace, which was given to him by Emperor Zhou Hui, and all matters such as the construction and repair of Chen were naturally under the joint supervision of the Young Eunuch's Mansion and the Ministry of Industry, so the topographic map of the Chu Palace's Mansion could not be a secret. Xu Youshan glanced at Concubine Wei Xian leading the way in front, the inner supervisor who was very familiar with the terrain of the Chu Palace, and her heart sank to the bottom of the lake!
After passing through one or two small gardens and verandahs, Concubine Xian and Xu Youshan and their party arrived outside the Ramie Zhai, and when Xu Youshan secretly followed Concubine Xian to the outside of the Ramie Zhai, and saw Mama Zhao guarding there from a distance, Xu Youshan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although she didn't know where she got these confidence in Mama Zhao.
"See Concubine Xian." Of course, Concubine Xian also saw Mama Zhao, and when Mama Zhao's figure was reflected in Concubine Zhao's eyes, Concubine Xian unconsciously sneered a little, but when she completely walked in front of Mama Zhao, Concubine Xian had already put on that gentle smile again.
"Oh, this isn't Mama Zhao, it seems that Mama Zhao is also a blessed person, and you are still with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I thought that at Mama Zhao's age, she should have been put back to her hometown a long time ago! Oh, Hongu forgot, there are no relatives in your hometown anymore, why, your husband and children have not been found yet? ”
Concubine Xian's tone was so caring for Mama Zhao, but every word. But even Xu Youshan behind couldn't help frowning, Mama Zhao was ordered to enter the palace to take care of the young Xie Jing after the death of Queen Zhen. At that time, she naturally had to be separated from her husband, young son, and young daughter. And Xu Youshan also learned later that it turned out that within a few years after Mama Zhao returned to the palace, her husband and children's hometown was flooded, and everyone's life and death were unknown, which naturally included Mama Zhao's husband and children.
And over the years, Mama Zhao has never given up looking for them, but Concubine Xian actually uncovered Mama Zhao's deepest wound with such an easy face at this time.
"Thank you, Concubine Xian, for remembering the old slave. But the old slave is blessed and has not been found. Mama Zhao replied with a normal face, not at all affected by Concubine Xian's words. It seems that this matter is just the most normal little thing, which made Concubine Xian's smiling face, Liu Mei raised slightly.
But Concubine Xian didn't continue to say anything about this matter, holding the hand of the old lady next to her. I'm going to go into ramie. But Mama Zhao also moved her figure, blocked in front of Concubine Xian, bowed slightly to her, and said: "Concubine Qi, Concubine Xian, now the doctor is diagnosing Concubine Leng's pulse, although it is a little rude, but at this time, it is better not to go in and interrupt." ”
Concubine Xian smiled when she heard this, and said, "Oh. Is it? It's unfortunate, but it's okay. The palace is here today with the imperial doctor ordered by the saint, and now it is better to let the concubine Leng come to receive the gifts of the saint and the queen mother, and I will let the imperial doctor give the concubine Leng a detailed diagnosis and treatment in a while, after all, the palace will go back to the palace to reply to the saint and the queen mother, which is really delayed. ”
After Concubine Xian finished speaking, she didn't wait for Mama Zhao to say anything, this time she went directly to the ramie Zhai, and the Praetorian Guards next to her "invited" Mama Zhao to the side. Seeing this, Xu Youshan's eyes flashed with urgency, but she still hurriedly followed Concubine Xian into the ramie Zhai, wanting to step forward and say something to Concubine Xian, but before she could get close to Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian turned to Xu Youshan and smiled gently, and said softly: "Princess, don't hurry up and let Concubine Leng come out to receive the order." ”
Xu Youshan's eyes froze, and she lowered her head slightly and said: "Concubine Xian, Concubine Leng can't get out of bed at all now, so it's better for me to take the order for Concubine Leng ......"
"Ah, by the way, Concubine Leng has to take care of the fetus now." Xu Youshan was stunned in her heart, surprised that Concubine Xian was so easy to speak? But then I heard Concubine Xian continue: "But the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother have instructed them to visit Concubine Lengbian for them, so the palace will visit her in person." ”
Concubine Xian's words fell, Xu Youshan was shocked, even Mama Zhao on the side changed her face a few times, but before they could refuse Concubine Xian's "kindness", the inner supervisor who led the way for Concubine Xian just now went straight to the direction of the main room, and the palace maids waiting next to her also stepped forward and directly pushed the door open, and Concubine Xian didn't care about Xu Youshan and Mama Zhao at all, turned around and entered the room.
In the room, Mo Ru was originally instructed by Xu Youshan to temporarily come to check Leng Xinyun's pulse, although Leng Xinyun was a little surprised by Mo Ru's sudden arrival, and he didn't mind that he would diagnose and treat himself more, and the current situation was naturally a little safer. But not long after Mo Ru came, there was a sudden commotion outside, and when Leng Xinyun didn't react, her door was pushed open, and a woman surrounded by pearls and greens and wearing a nine-beaded phoenix hairpin walked in.
Virtuous Princess!
Leng Xinyun was startled, she didn't know how Concubine Xian came here, but she still struggled, and wanted to get up hurriedly to say goodbye to Concubine Xian. But Leng Xinyun had just gotten up, and Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Don't be reluctant to concubine Leng Fang, your current body is not the same as before, you should have a good rest." ”
After that, Concubine Xian walked over lightly, and Leng Xinyun also stiffened, but she didn't get up reluctantly, but pulled the corners of her mouth and bowed her head to thank Concubine Xian: "Thank you Concubine Xian for your care, Xinyun's body is indeed inconvenient now, and please forgive me for not getting up to say hello to Concubine Xian." ”
"Look at what you're talking about, kid, and lie down and get some rest." Concubine Xian walked to Leng Xinyun's bed and sat down, and said with a smile.
At this time, Xu Youshan and Mama Zhao also followed up, and when they saw that Concubine Xian had already sat next to Leng Xinyun, their pupils shrank, but then they also hurriedly surrounded them, and Concubine Xian seemed to be unable to see the two, but took Leng Xinyun's hand very affectionately, and said the reason why she came, and waved her hand to let the inner supervisors who had been holding jade boxes one by one just now come forward and opened the jade boxes for Leng Xinyun to see.
In the boxes carved from those high-quality jade, there are rare and unusual medicinal materials. It's also used to replenish the body, it seems that the saint and the queen mother really care about Leng Xinyun...... No, it should be said that the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother really care about the child in Leng Xinyun's belly.
And Leng Xinyun saw the rare and abnormal medicinal materials in the jade box. I don't know why the smile on his face was a little far-fetched, but he was still busy and said: "Thank you Shengshang and the Queen Mother for your generous gifts." ”
"Hehe, as long as you know the grace of the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother, you yourself have to take better care of your body, and you must give birth to the child well." Concubine Xian said to Leng Xinyun with a kind face at this time, but as soon as she said this, Xu Youshan next to her turned gloomy. When these words came out of Concubine Xian's mouth, it was really chilling to listen to, and even the agarwood standing next to Leng Xinyun. After hearing Concubine Xian's words, they all raised their eyes slightly and glanced at Concubine Xian.
But Concubine Xian's face did not change, and she continued to hold Leng Xinyun's hand and said, "When I saw you in this palace a few days ago, I felt quite in love." But I don't want it to be just a few days. There was such bad news, which really surprised Bengong, and so did you, this kid, so careless. But you can't be blamed for this, you are the first child, inexperienced, this is understandable, and this time the Queen Mother asked the palace to visit you. It is also passed on to tell you that after you are pregnant, you must avoid and be careful. You have to remember it. ”
"Yes, thank you Queen Mother for your concern, Xinyun must be in mind." Leng Xinyun lowered his eyes and said.
"That's good, that's good." Concubine Xian looked at Leng Xinyun even more kindly, but what she said next scared Xu Youshan and Mama Zhao next to her to be silent anymore, "Princess, you should step back first, the Queen Mother said it, let Concubine Leng listen to the teachings of the next grandmother in the palace." ”
"Qiyu Xian Concubine Niangniang, why don't we listen to and be taught here, so that there will be no more mistakes when we take care of Concubine Leng in the future, and this will also make the emperor and grandson that the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother are very much looking forward to be born smoothly." Xu Youshan said with a steady heart.
"That's right, Concubine Xian, let the princess stay here and listen to the teachings together......"
Before Mama Zhao finished agreeing with her, Concubine Xian's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant and said to Xu Youshan: "Princess, this is the Queen Mother's decree, what, do you want to disobey?" ”
As soon as Concubine Xian's words fell, the Praetorian Guards, who were originally guarding outside the door, suddenly rushed in, and the cold and murderous aura made the cold heart cloud on the bed instantly turn white, and at this time, Xu Youshan and Zhao Mama's faces also became extremely bad, in the divine capital, no matter which mansion, there can be no private soldiers, in addition to having a certain number of guards to guard the mansion, it is not allowed to have other armed forces, this is not even the princes and ministers without exception, of course, including the Chu Palace.
Therefore, Xu Youshan looked at the Praetorian Guards who suddenly rushed in front of her, her face couldn't be worse, but Concubine Xian was still under the banner of Emperor Zhou Hui and the Queen Mother, and she had excellent reasons and arguments, so that Xu Youshan had no room for refutation.
But when she thought of what would happen if they really retreated and let Concubine Xian and Leng Xinyun be alone, Xu Youshan's heart was shocked, and there was some determination in her eyes, and when she was about to refute Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian laughed again, and suddenly said softly: "Why, is it possible that there is an eldest grandson in the Chu Palace, so even the Queen Mother is not in her eyes?" ”
Xu Youshan was startled, and the words she was about to say were all held back in her stomach, and Mama Zhao was also shocked in her eyes, and the biggest reaction was Leng Xinyun, who was the closest to Concubine Xian, she was already frightened by the Praetorian Guards who had just rushed in, and at this time it was even more white without a trace of blood, and then hurriedly said to Xu Youshan: "Princess, please wait outside." ”
Leng Xinyun is not a stupid person, on the contrary, Leng Xinyun is too smart, although sometimes she is smart but is mistaken by cleverness, but now she is very sober, when she comes back from the palace, she has unbearable abdominal pain, she is very sober. And she knew at that time that she was harmed, just like Xu Youshan thought, the reason why Leng Xinyun dared to go to the banquet with swagger everywhere after she was pregnant was naturally because she had a doctor sent by the Leng family every day to check the pulse, and when the pulse was good in the whole body, she would dare to go out of the house to go to the banquet everywhere.
But that's it, the pulse is still good, and the fetus can't be more stable. How could it be that she just entered the palace, and her body suddenly weakened rapidly, and she was so weak that she had a fetal gas? This is as Moru said. It was the hidden danger that broke out caused by her running around to the banquet, others believed it, but she herself didn't believe it.
Because of Leng Xinyun's body, she knew that she was not like Mo Ru said at all, even on the surface, she seemed to go to the banquet all day without scruples, but in fact, she was very careful. Not only does she not eat any food that is not good for the child, but she also does not drink a sip of cold water, in these avoidances. The Leng family had already sent an experienced grandmother to take care of her, how could she not know?
So the only reason that could make her like this is what happened on the day she entered the palace, and what happened that day? In fact, there are only a handful. First of all, he followed everyone to Shou'an Hall to greet the Queen Mother. Then she went to Chaoyang Pavilion to attend the banquet, and although she went to the hundred gardens for a walk in the middle, she didn't meet anyone, and she was also single at that time.
So in this way, who is it possible to poison her? During this time, she met many people, but she could only be counted on one hand, and among them was her own. Except for Xie Jing, there is only one. Virtuous Princess!
Leng Xinyun is such a smart person, he will be hot-headed for a while, under the sudden favor and attention, it is understandable, but after she calms down, everything will be clear, and the current situation is not complicated at all, it can be seen at a glance, after all, there are only three princes who are the oldest at this time, and the others are still young, but among the three princes, the second prince Xie Yan is already out, so now the confrontation between Xie Jing, the king of Chu, and Xie Wen, the third prince, is very clear.
As the mother concubine of the third prince Xie Wen, the virtuous concubine naturally has a hostile attitude between her and Xie Jing, and of course these cold hearted clouds also understand, but when she is conceited in advance, thinking that she is a righteous saint, who dares to touch her? A person like Concubine Xian, who is in charge of the Six Palaces, should not offend the Holy Lord, so she is not worried at all.
But now the facts caught Leng Xinyun off guard, making her understand her stupidity, and the feeling that was so clear that it hurt to the bone marrow again and again also reminded her coldly and piercingly that her children may be about to leave because of her stupidity, and the glory and wealth she hoped for were about to disappear.
And if Leng Xinyun's child really can't be saved in the end, then what awaits her is not only the blow of losing the child, but also the anger of Emperor Zhou Hui and the Queen Mother, so now she doesn't dare to anger Emperor Zhou Hui and the Queen Mother in the slightest, although she knows that her biggest enemy is the woman in front of her surrounded by pearls and greens and wearing a phoenix hairpin; But what she knows better is that her child may not be able to be saved.
Leng Xinyun hugged her abdomen with blood dripping in her heart, but her head was lowered, not letting anyone see her expression, and Xu Youshan struggled in her heart for a long time, but she still couldn't make a decision, but under the increasingly cold gaze of Concubine Xian, Mama Zhao suddenly gently pulled the corner of Xu Youshan's clothes, Xu Youshan was stunned for a moment, then closed her eyes, and bowed to Concubine Xian dejectedly, and withdrew from the room with everyone.
And after Xu Youshan and her party all exited the room, Concubine Xian waved her hand, except for the old lady who had been following her, everyone else also retreated to the outer room, and there were only three people left in the room for a while, Concubine Xian and the old woman, and Leng Xinyun.
"You already feel it yourself, the child can't be saved."
Concubine Xian said with a smile, but she stabbed into people's hearts coldly.
Leng Xinyun's pupils suddenly contracted, and the feeling of abdominal pain that pierced the heart came again.
……
……
Xie Jing didn't have time in the end, before he rushed back, Concubine Xian had already left, and when they went to the room to see Leng Xinyun after Concubine Xian left, Leng Xinyun looked as usual, saying that Concubine Xian just let the grandmother teach her some common sense after she became pregnant.
Leng Xinyun said it normally, but Xu Youshan felt that for some reason, she was always frightened, as if something was different, but looking at Leng Xinyun's calm and normal expression, Xu Youshan didn't know what was different, the current Leng Xinyun didn't seem to be any different from usual, she still protected her abdomen tightly as always, her face was a little pale, it was a touch of illness that she had been carrying since she started to have abdominal pain.
Chu Wangfu, Po Wei Houyun.
"Xinyun's situation, how is it today?" Xie Jing looked at Xu Youshan, who was sitting casually on the other side, and asked.
"It's still like that, I will have abdominal pain from time to time, but the prince still has to ask Doctor Mo and Doctor Li for the specific situation." Xu Youshan heard Xie Jing's sudden voice, and hurriedly sat upright and replied to him, but the polite slight lowering of her eyes made it impossible for the two to meet their eyes.
And the doctor Li in Xu Youshan's words is a female doctor specially found by Xie Jing, she is an expert in pregnancy, and she has been taking care of Leng Xinyun with Mo Ru in the past few days. And counting it, this is also the fifth day since Concubine Xian came, and since the day after Concubine Xian suddenly came to visit Leng Xinyun on behalf of Emperor Zhou Hui and the Queen Mother, Xie Jing came back with this Doctor Li.
And what surprised Xu Youshan was that as soon as Dr. Li arrived at the Chu Palace, she diagnosed Leng Xinyun's pulse, and the result she got was different from Mo Ru, she said that Leng Xinyun's pulse was faintly abnormal, which was very similar to a sign of poisoning, but under careful inspection, it was not like it. And if it is really poisoned, it is estimated that this poison has been planted for more than half a month, and it has been metabolized in Leng Xinyun's body, and there is no trace of evidence at all.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Youshan was shocked, and she was poisoned for more than half a month, didn't that happen to be the time of the Qianqiu New Year's Banquet, which means that someone really moved her hands and feet when she entered the palace, so it will lead to this sign now? And Xu Youshan can deduce this result, let alone Xie Jing, and at the same time, Xie Jing also thought of many things that Xu Youshan couldn't think of.
But according to Dr. Li's words, regardless of whether Leng Xinyun was really poisoned or not, there is no evidence to be found now, so there is no other way for several people, and Xie Jing only asked Dr. Li to try to keep the child in Leng Xinyun's womb.
Fortunately, in the past few days after Concubine Xian left, although Leng Xinyun still had slight abdominal pain from time to time, the situation did not deteriorate, and the condition of the fetus was fine, so everyone's hanging hearts were slightly lowered, but despite this, Xie Jing would still ask about Leng Xinyun's situation after coming back every day, and because Xie Jing's whereabouts were not in the palace and needed to be kept secret, Xie Jing would first go back to the house quietly, go to Bowei Houyun to stay for a while, and then go to Ramie Zhai.
Therefore, Xie Jing also asked Xu Youshan about Leng Xinyun's situation every time. And Xu Youshan didn't have any superfluous reaction to this, Xie Jing asked, then she said.
And between the two, I don't know when it started, except for Leng Xinyun's matter, there was nothing else to say, the room was silent for a while, Xie Jing stopped talking, Xu Youshan would not take the initiative to speak, she slowly returned to the previous casual state, as if Xie Jing was not here at all.
Time passed little by little, and when the sky outside the window was completely dark, Xie Jing also got up and went to the ramie Zhai, Xu Youshan sent it to the door, and turned straight back to the house, although it was early spring, it was still a little cold at night, so Xu Youshan ran back to the kang, picked up the book that Xie Jing was reading before he came, and continued to read it with relish.
And looking at Xu Youshan's heartless appearance, Chu Dai was in a hurry, she wanted to tell Xu Youshan so much that she couldn't just let Xie Jing and Leng Xinyun continue to be close, in this case, Leng Xinyun became more and more pitiful, which may arouse Xie Jing's love and pity more and more, and she loved Leng Xinyun more and more.
But whenever Chu Dai plucked up a lot of courage and was about to confide in Xu Youshan, she would be frightened by Xu Youshan's suddenly cold eyes, and after trying several times, she didn't dare to say it to Xu Youshan again, but looking at the increasingly cold and silent atmosphere between Xie Jing and Xu Youshan, and listening to the recent rumors in the house, the increasingly intimate relationship between Xie Jing and Leng Xinyun, Chu Dai was really anxious, but some people were still leisurely. (To be continued.) )
