Chapter 38: The Nightmare (9)
"You can be shameless, but you can't be heartless, others can put things out of the way, hang your arms and watch the excitement, can I wait? Think about it, without Liu Zhongshu, you and I are just a dead soul in the capital of Yuanren at the moment, and now I am watching his mansion being surrounded by people, if you can still sit here, Liu can't do it, can you? ”
"Liu Yuanwai is right, bullying a widowed woman, what kind of man is it, our lives are all given by the Chinese book, but the Yuan people can't beat those dogs who are stupid in reading?"
"Go together, go together, whoever doesn't go is ungrateful!"
The Yamen of the Ministry of Rites is in the Xiaoshifang outside the Hening Gate, and it is almost half of Lin'an City away from the place of the incident, Xingqingfang, but under the excitement of the crowd, where can they still take care of these, more than ten officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, and the people in the mission who were sent back to Beijing in advance, under the leadership of Liu Yue, the host and guest director of the Ministry of Rites, decided to rush to reinforcements on foot, in case the group of scholars who did not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth from attacking Liu's mansion.
"Shangshu, it's a big deal, and you and I can't get out of it." Looking at their backs, Wang Yinglin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, sighed.
"Bohou, don't mess with them, the bigger the matter, the more you and I can't get involved, have you heard? This time the peace agreement failed, and the princes of the political hall intended to send the envoy again, but I am afraid that this errand is either you or so, or think about how to write a suicide note when you go back to the house, Liu Ziqing's encounter today is you and me tomorrow. ”
The two officials were all interested, and there was even a feeling of sadness in the death of a rabbit and a fox, a few months ago, the three of them were still the chief and deputy envoys in charge of the peace discussion, and in a blink of an eye, only the two of them were left. It was originally their messenger, and if they sent someone to go, who would fight to go? can only pick from the two of them unlucky, Wang Yinglin glanced at him, the great uncle who was still full of spirit before, has no spirit, and his gloomy eyes are all disappointed, from his appearance, Wang Yinglin can even imagine what kind of situation he is, this is the so-called 'difficult brother'?
The fight did not get up.
Liu's house has been surrounded by a crowd of people, and most of them are rushing to guard, the Ye Mansion family Ding is in the innermost layer under the leadership of Ye Yingji, these people are the children of the Ye family, the kind that can give up their lives for the master at any time, their eyes are full of ferocity and disdain≮★dǐng≮★diǎn≮★小≮ ★ said, .♀.o≯s_(); , On weekdays, I am served by the lord's family with good food and drink, don't you want this moment? Gongfu Haonu, this reputation is not blown out, but has a real record.
Outside the door, there was a row of imperial camp forbidden troops, as many as a hundred people, and all of them had a special diǎn, that is, Gao. According to the measurement method of later generations, these big men with an average height of more than 1.85 meters are lined up like a mountain, which makes people feel frightened, let alone shocked.
These people were not sent by the Empress Dowager, but the palace that rested in the forbidden turn spontaneously, most of them were Yang Lei's subordinates or friends, led by the group of envoys who were sent back first, they were unarmed, they didn't even have armor, Rao is so as long as a fierce look is thrown over, those soldiers will dodge, and they don't even dare to look at each other.
Compared with the tension outside the gate of the mansion but relatively calm, the house, especially the backyard, is a mess, the reason is very simple, after the pheasant slave who has just entered the mansion, the only hostess in the mansion Jing Niang fell, and the reason why she fell was that she was shocked to hear of her husband's death, and it was the female doctor who told her the news.
At this moment, the female doctor standing in front of the hospital bed regretted that her intestines were blue, originally she thought that these scholars were making trouble outside, and the people in the house would definitely receive the news, even the saints in the palace also thought about it, so she would give an order before leaving, but she didn't expect Jing Niang to care about the outside affairs at all, she didn't even know what the scholars were doing, and suddenly she heard that her husband had fallen down immediately.
"Sister-in-law." The first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Ye Yinghe and her mother who held her in her arms, the latter was older than her own mother, and her eyes were also kind with tears in her eyes.
"Good girl, but what do you still feel uncomfortable?" Seeing that she woke up, Ye Niangzi asked gently.
"It's okay." Jing Niang barely squeezed out a smile, coped with the reply, and turned her eyes to the female doctor, what she was most concerned about at the moment was not herself, but the little thing in her belly.
"Dare to ask Shang Gong, my child is okay." This is also the nature of a mother-to-be, although she does not feel physically unwell, but she still wants to hear the confirmation in the mouths of others, so that she can feel at ease.
But what I didn't expect was that the female doctor, who was still trapped in self-blame, didn't come back to her senses at all, and when she heard her words, she raised her head with a puzzled face, and a sentence burst out of her mouth subconsciously.
"What child?"
Can't blame her for being unresponsive, two months have passed, and she hasn't mentioned it since, she has almost forgotten about it, she can still remember this trip to the house, but at the beginning of the busy and suddenly fainting incident, the whole person's reaction was much slower, and when she remembered it in Jing Niang's surprised eyes, it was a little too late.
"Oh, I've been keeping my body tight, forgetting that you're still pregnant, and it's easy to get confused when you're old, why don't you take advantage of this time and take a look?"
To the relief of the female doctor, Jing Niang did not speculate too much, but raised her left arm very obediently, and let her take the pulse to see the sound and sound identification, staring at each other without blinking, and found that the panic of the female doctor's expression could not be hidden, and her heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom.
"How?" After making a move, when she stopped for a while, it was not Jing Niang who asked questions, but Ye Niangzi who was holding her.
"It's okay, it's too young to listen to really, I'll look at it, don't worry, don't worry, wait for me to make a prescription, eat it, and you'll be safe." The female doctor hurriedly explained.
"It's only two months, it's a little smaller, sister-in-law is not in a hurry." Jing Niang suddenly opened her mouth on the side.
"Yes, it's okay for two months, as long as you are careful to raise it, you will wrap it around me." The female doctor echoed the diǎndiǎn head, and now she only wanted to get out of here in order to avoid the cold gaze of the hostess.
Jing Niang watched her performance quietly, just now she deliberately only mentioned two months, just to confirm the authenticity, because it has been two months since the pulse was diagnosed, and at that time, the female doctor told Sù that she had been pregnant for more than a month, and with her ability in the palace, she might have made such a big mistake? That's royal blood, let alone a month, even a few days wrong is a capital crime!
She has always felt that something is wrong, but she can't say what's wrong, things have been verified twice, she can't suspect anything in her heart, just think it's the first time she is pregnant, and she is not very adaptable, she never thought it would be such a result.
Ye Niangzi, who was holding her, was still discussing with the female doctor, how to make up for her or something, everyone didn't see Jing Niang's gradual paleness, her lips were bitten by her teeth, as if she was about to drip blood, she didn't want to think about the worst, but this thought always lingered, what should I do?
"Sister-in-law, the imperial doctor who is good friends at home is surnamed Zheng?" After the female doctor left, Jing Niang leaned on Ye Niangzi's arms and asked in a weak tone.
"Do you remember him, it was still sent by the first emperor when his father-in-law was in Beijing, and now I'm afraid that he has already paid tribute." Ye Niangzi didn't know why, and recalled it in her mind.
"I heard that his family lives not far from our fang, I want to ask my sister-in-law for one thing, take my father's name card to invite him, Sister Pheasant's injury is a little dangerous, I'm afraid it won't be practical."
When Ye Niangzi heard her say this, she didn't doubt it, she had seen the situation of the pheasant sister, and there were blood stains everywhere on the clothes she had changed, and it was reasonable for Jing Niang to care about her, so she called a maid and told her a few words in her ear.
Outside the door of Liu's Mansion, when Liu Mengyan arrived, the officials from Jiankang Mansion and Qiantang County had already blocked the entrance and exit of the entire Xingqingfang, and when he saw those poor people in soap clothes, his heart suddenly lifted, he wouldn't be too late, could it be that something had already happened?
Hurriedly revealed his identity, not caring about the prestige of the prime minister, he bowed down at the gate of the fang, and was escorted by a group of entourages to the door of Liu's mansion, and heard someone shouting something from a distance, and the meaning of those words seemed to be persuasion, so he relaxed a little.
"You see clearly, there is only a group of women and children in this house, and where is the man you scolded now? He was in the capital of the Yuan people, and he was forced by the Tartars to burn himself to death! The poor family has not even left a young son, pat your conscience and think, why did he send him to death? It's not so that you can have a quiet desk, so that you can finish reading the sages and then come here to bully a weak woman! Looking through the history books, how many of you have seen such a national thief. ”
Liu Yue's voice was very loud, with a sense of desolation in his sorrow, not only did he say that the group of scholars had lost their voices, but even the people on the Liu Mansion side lowered their heads. Liu Mengyan walked a few steps, and at a glance saw a few people standing in front, in addition to Liu Yue, who made a generous statement, there were also a few officials of the Ministry of Rites, and there were two men standing side by side, Ye Ying, the in-law of the Liu Mansion, was on the left, and the one on the right hand was the Luchen of Zhexi and the family of Zhilin'an Mansion.
"Xianggong." His arrival naturally became the backbone of this group of people at once, as the head of the civil officials in the court, and in fact, the leader of Shilin, both sides set their eyes on him.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Liu Mengyan is also familiar with this kind of thing, and knows that the most important thing is not to exacerbate the contradiction, so he must be cautious in his rhetoric to avoid stimulating either party.
"I came from the saint, she has heard about this, what the prime minister wants to say here is that no matter who is right or wrong, the court will have its own public opinion, before that, is it against the way of a gentleman that you surround people's mansions like this?" With that, he turned to the scholar's end.
"Minister, we didn't do it." One of them, who seemed to be the leader, whispered.
"It's not okay to move your mouth, there is only one Shuo person in the house, and I heard that he is pregnant, once he is frightened by you, who will be responsible? They have been married for less than half a year, and there is only this diǎn blood in the house, Benxiang begs you, let's all disperse, if you want to surround and scold people, Benxiang's mansion is not far in front, I will lead you there, let you wait for the scolding to be happy, okay? ”
In fact, these gentlemen have long lost their previous spirit, and the voice they want to make has also been finished, but they have not been able to arouse the response of the people, and they have been scolded so much that most of them have the idea of retreating.
Liu Mengyan maintained a sincere look until the group of scholars slowly began to disperse, and before he could relax and say hello to the Ye and family members behind him, a subordinate who looked like a family member ran out of the mansion and said something in Ye Yingji's ear, and saw that the face of the ordnance supervisor Ye changed greatly, and he looked at the sky with tears in his eyes.
"The baby in the womb of the housesister has fallen." Liu Mengyan and the others listened like falling into an ice cave, and the scholars who walked behind all accelerated their pace, and no one dared to look up again.
