Chapter 475: There Are Ghosts
"Miss Dou, slow down!"
"Yan Xiao, stop!"
"Little Swallow can't!"
For a while, there were several voices to stop her reckless movements!
In addition to Dou Zixuan and Jiang Cangjin, there was actually a bystander who shouted.
Dou Yanxiao was stopped from moving, and looked at the person who was coming out with some confusion.
The man was dressed in a robe and had an elegant temperament, and Shu Jin saw that it was Zhuo Tong. But it's not surprising to think about it, although Zhuo Tong has not been in Changdu for a long time, many relatives and the like are still there, and the proposed market of the Shangyuan Festival is not an occasion where the identity of the person who comes must be limited, so it is not unusual for him to come in.
"Miss Dou, please take a look at that." Zhuo Tong gestured to everyone, and then said to Dou Yanxiao.
Dou Yanxiao was stunned for a moment, and finally reached out and handed the bottle over.
Zhuo Tong carefully uncorked the bottle, approached and sniffed it with his hand, poured out a little more and checked it in the palm of his hand, and then frowned.
"How? What is it? Dou Yanxiao asked on the side.
Shu Jin looked at Zhuo Tong's somewhat solemn expression, and thought, is it poison? Then I heard Zhuo Tong say:
"It's not a poisonous thing."
There is no poison, but his solemn expression seems to be a special medicine. Sure enough, I listened to Zhuo Tong continue:
"It's safflower essence, very pure safflower essence."
Dou Yanxiao's face was puzzled, but most of them secretly took a breath. Safflower is indispensable for nourishing blood and qi, however. Every time there is a little turmoil in the palace, it is not a good thing if it is safflower, because safflower has one of the deadliest effects. That is, it will make people slip tires.
Safflower essence is an extract of safflower, and it is a highly concentrated effect of safflower medicine.
"That, that's not mine! I picked it up! When the attendant who fell to the ground heard Zhuo Tong's words, he suddenly struggled. Yell.
"Nonsense! Everything you picked up! How do you have such a skill to pick up everything? Pick up another bottle and show it to me! Dou Yanxiao stepped up and said.
People looked at Dou Yanxiao's fierce appearance, and listened to her words full of black lines. Although the words of the chamberlain are full of loopholes. But after all, your eldest lady is also a noble girl, can you not be so rude?
Sure enough, Dou Zixuan was helpless, and it was useless to reprimand. simply stepped forward and grabbed Dou Yanxiao's wrist. said goodbye to Jiang Cangjin, and then said to everyone that he was out of company, and then pulled his daughter and walked out quickly.
"Hey! Ay! Daddy, let me go! Dou Yanxiao wanted to struggle at first, and shouted in her mouth, but later saw that her father obviously had a bad face and looked unhappy, so she turned her head and said to Shu Jin, "Hey." That, Lord Xiangtang. Don't forget that we have an appointment, I'll go to you tomorrow, see you or leave! ”
The last "ah" was a little broken because Dou Zixuan suddenly dragged her hard, but it didn't delay her to express her meaning clearly.
Shu Jin was helpless, this Dou Zixuan was not stupid, he felt that there was a problem, so he flashed first. But at this moment, Shu Jin had to nod at the other end, and Dou Yanxiao turned back with satisfaction, and was staggered away by her father.
Dou Yanxiao is gone, but the waiter with a bloody face on the scene is still lying on the ground, Zhuo Tong is still holding the bottle of safflower essence in his hand, Shu Jin took back the post, but people are still watching things here from afar.
The post was stolen from Shu Jin or Jiang Duanyu, which is certain, but people can't help but think about such a question: Where did this bottle of safflower essence come from? Did this chamberlain take it from Shu Jin?
What did the lord of Xiangtang County do when he entered the palace with a bottle of safflower essence?
But if this safflower essence is not taken by the inner servant from the county lord, what does such an inner servant want to do when he approaches the county lord of Xiangtang with a bottle of safflower essence? Do you want to put a bottle of safflower essence on her? The courtiers really haven't heard of any concubine in the palace who is pregnant, but the prestige of safflower is too great, and now there is such a bottle of high-concentration safflower essence here, you don't need to think deeply to know that there are ghosts here!
Fortunately, not long after the father and daughter of the Dou family left, a team of soldiers separated from the crowd and came to the scene.
"The protector of the country, the lord of the county, the prince." The leader of the group greeted him. Then, while maintaining order on the scene, with a wave of his hand, he sent someone to take down the chamberlain. They obviously already have a rough idea of the cause and effect, and they are dealing with it very quickly at the moment.
Jiang Cangjin glanced at the person who came, and knew that this person was a close confidant of the emperor and would not take sides, so he let them escort the person away.
"The county lord, the prince, if there is a need, I will bother the two of you to enter the palace and talk about the situation at that time." The team leader said hello to Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu, and after Shu Jin said to Jiang Duanyu that there was no problem, they took people away.
The onlookers dispersed, and while thinking about what had just happened, they continued to shop. And after this incident, Shu Jin, Jiang Duanyu and others lost their interest in shopping, Zhuo Tong had already handed over the safflower essence in his hand to the leader of the guards, and at this moment, Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu planned to leave the city and leave the palace.
There were a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, and it was not good for the three of them to talk about what had just happened here, so they walked forward without much conversation on the road.
As he was walking, an attendant came over from a distance and shouted Shu Jin.
"Lord Xiangtang, please go slowly!"
Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu stopped and turned to the comer. This person is a little familiar, Shu Jin thought about it carefully, and finally remembered where he had seen this person. This person should be from Concubine Lan's palace, because Shu Jin had seen him following behind Concubine Lan.
"Lord Xiangtang, the slave is the chamberlain of Concubine Lan of Guerlain Palace, Concubine Lan has not had a good appetite recently, so I want to ask the county lord to come over and teach two recipes that disappear and freeze, I don't know, it's inconvenient for the county lord?"
After speaking, as if she was afraid that Shu Jin would refuse, she said again, "It just so happens that the second princess is also at Concubine Lan, the second princess said that she hopes that the county lord can go to Yixu, and the second princess said that she has a lot of things to say to the county lord." ”
This is actually very clear, that is, Qi Yuan and Concubine Lan have something to do with Shu Jin. Ask her to come over. Qi Yuan is determined that with what she said to Shu Jin before, Shu Jin will definitely sell face this time.
Sure enough, Shu Jin agreed to go without refusing.
The concubine's residence. Jiang Duanyu naturally didn't want to follow anymore, and Zhuo Tong hadn't officially returned to the Imperial Medical Office at the moment, so Shu Jin was separated from Jiang Duanyu Zhuotong here, and they went back to the house, while Shu Jin followed the chamberlain to Concubine Lan's Guerlain Palace.
Shu Jin was walking, and he was constantly conjecturing in his heart. She knew that Qi Yuan might take action today, but she didn't know what she was going to do. At this moment, he suddenly sent someone to call him over. What is it for?
And what does the thief waiter who stole her invitation with safflower essence have to do with this whole thing?
However, I can't know the real situation, so I just take one step at a time. She didn't completely believe Qi Yuan. So she went with her. But I've been thinking about what I'm going to do if something happens later.
Shu Jin was walking with the chamberlain, and suddenly two people walked out of a palace gate in front of him, and the two people were different from ordinary palace people, who saw the visitor and salute to make way, but directly blocked the way between Shu Jin and the chamberlain.
Concubine Lan's chamberlain obviously recognized the visitor, and when she saw that the person was blocking the road, she hurriedly saluted and greeted her:
"It turned out to be Aunt He and Aunt Song. The two aunts are fine, I don't know. What is the business of the two aunts? ”
was called Aunt He and Aunt Song, but ignored him, and saluted Shu Jin:
"Lord Xiangtang. The queen is invited! ”
When these words came out, Concubine Lan's chamberlain was stunned, and he whispered:
"Two aunts, it was Concubine Lan who asked the county lord to ...... first"
"In what order? What is the position of the queen mother? What is Concubine Lan's position? How? Does your master still dare to discuss qualifications with the queen? ”
He raised his aunt's eyebrows, and squinted at the waiter and said proudly.
Concubine Lan's chamberlain was stunned, and hurriedly shrunk her neck and said:
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Then he looked up at Shu Jin, then at the two aunts, and then said, "Then, the slave went back first and returned to Concubine Lan's ......."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Aunt Song:
"No, you come with us! Later, we will also send someone to invite Concubine Lan to come over, and when the queen mother finishes talking to the county lord, you just go back to the Guerlain Hall together. ”
"This ......" The waiter was stunned, and wanted to refuse this obviously unconventional words, but he really couldn't say a reason for refusal.
"What, that, that! The queen is still waiting, are you here to make the mother anxious? ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The chamberlain couldn't, so he had to follow Shu Jin and two aunts to the queen's place.
Shu Jin was also quite surprised that the two of the queen's subordinates suddenly appeared, but because the queen had asked her to talk about cooperation earlier, I thought that the queen should not be unfavorable to her this time, so Shu Jin had nothing to worry about.
When she arrived at the queen's palace, the queen looked at Shu Jin with a smile, gave her a seat, and then instructed Aunt Song:
"Mei Song, you take Concubine Lan, the chamberlain, to the side to rest, and if you have something later, I will send someone to call you."
Concubine Lan's chamberlain felt bitter in her heart, seeing that this was the queen asking Aunt Song to take care of herself, but even if she saw the queen's intentions, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to obediently follow Aunt Song.
After the idle people and others had withdrawn, the queen looked at Shu Jindao:
"County lord, I can't hide it, I called you here today to let you watch a good show with me."
"Oh? What's the show? ”
Shu Jin asked, but he was not stupid enough to ask where the stage was.
Obviously, this play is not the other play.
It seems that Concubine Lan suddenly called herself to go to the Guerlain Palace, and it was really a bit of a problem. However, I don't know how the queen knew, and I intercepted myself halfway. Since the queen said that she wanted Shu Jin to watch the play, Shu Jin was happy to wait to see the excitement.
"Yuehe, some refreshments, I'll talk to the county lord."
The queen didn't explain much, ordered, and then pulled Shu Jin to eat snacks and drink tea and chat.
Shu Jin also ate and drank everything, and after about half an hour, there was a sudden commotion outside.
"Who is making noise in my palace!" The queen gave Shu Jin a "coming" look, and then raised her voice and asked.
Yuehe walked out and rushed back in a moment, her steps were fast, but not exaggerated, and the expression on her face did not have a trace of surprise:
"Queen Qiyu, the palace maid of the Guerlain Palace, Fang Lan, is here, she said, Concubine Lan has a miscarriage."
"Oh? What the hell is going on? Why didn't Concubine Lan report that she was pregnant? Why did you suddenly have a miscarriage again? ”
The queen asked seriously, but on her face and eyes, Shu Jin didn't see the slightest sympathy. Shu Jin was silent, but he suddenly felt very bored in his heart.
In this harem, there are always such and such conspiracies, no matter whether it is Concubine Lan, the queen, or Concubine Yun, no matter how graceful and luxurious she is, she is like an aggressive golden chicken every day, always not fighting or being happy! And it is the innocent lives that are really hurt.
Concubine Lan's inexplicable birth, I don't know who is powerful and who is unlucky?
"County Lord, since you are also here, let's go and see it with the mourning family."
The queen asked a few words, and then said to Shu Jin.
Shu Jin replied yes, and followed the queen out of the queen's bedroom and rushed to the Guerlain Palace. Before the queen left, she didn't forget to ask people to call the chamberlain of the Guerlain Palace.
As soon as he entered the Guerlain Palace, an attendant shouted that the queen had arrived. The Guerlain hall was filled with low whimpering, but it was stopped by the shouting and crying of the chamberlain, and then a louder cry sounded:
"The Queen Mother! Queen mother! Please call the shots of my mother! ”
With the cry, Qi Yuan, who was pale with pear blossoms and rain, pounced out of the inner hall of the Guerlain Palace, and suddenly knelt down at the queen's feet.
"Hey, you kid, what's wrong with you, get up!"
The queen stepped forward with a loving face, and was about to help Qi Yuan up.
Qi Yuan struggled slightly, stubbornly kneeling and said:
"The Queen Mother! begging the queen mother to promise to severely punish the murderer who killed the younger brother in the mother's womb! Otherwise, otherwise Yuan'er will cry to death here and never get up again! ”
"What? Concubine Lan is pregnant with a prince? ”
The queen said in surprise and raised her eyes to look behind Qi Yuan.
She was followed by a group of palace maids from the Guerlain Palace, including the imperial doctor who had just given Concubine Lan a pulse and the stable woman who had treated her slippery fetus. The queen was looking at the stable woman this time.
The Wen Po hurriedly knelt down and said:
"Queen Qiyu, the fetus is more than four months old, although it has not fully grown, but it can already be seen that it is indeed a prince."
"What the hell is going on? Concubine Lan is pregnant, and the Internal Affairs Office has not recorded it, and now she has lost her child so inexplicably! The queen said angrily.
"The Queen Mother! Although the mother concubine was pregnant, she was not informed of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but her father knew about it! Or the doctor said that the fetus was unstable, so it would be appropriate to make it public later. Which Cheng wants to ...... The queen mother, the mother concubine's birth was deliberately framed! Ask the mother to call the shots for us! ”
"Oh? Yuan'er, you get up first. You have been talking for a long time, who is so bold that he dares to murder the emperor's heir? (To be continued.) )
