Chapter 40: Autumn is approaching and there is a conspiracy
The court and the court were busy preparing for the autumn season, and Concubine Chen, who got the news in the palace, was anxious, thinking of a way to see her son Murong.
"Mother, why do you have to let me enter the palace at this time?" Mu Rong is now busy competing with the eldest prince for the position of the eldest prince for the affairs of Qiuqiu, and he has put the poisoning behind him, just because he can't take care of the two, lest someone take a handle to participate in his own book.
Concubine Chen saw that her son's eyes were blue and black, and after a little thought, she knew why she was in a hurry.
"The mother concubine is afraid that you will be in a hurry outside and do something inappropriate." Concubine Chen pulled her son to sit down and said, "Last time, the mother concubine carefully tested the little eunuch who served the emperor, but unfortunately she didn't ask for useful news. ”
Mu Rong's brows furrowed after hearing this, and he didn't even have the intention of drinking tea, and he kept thinking and calculating in his mind.
"The mother concubine went to the hospital again." Concubine Chen was afraid that there would be no reassuring outcome in this matter, so she needed to inquire in many ways.
"Too Hospital?" Yes, if the emperor is really unwell, he will definitely call the trusted doctor of the hospital to diagnose the pulse, Mu Rong didn't think of it at first, but the people in the hospital He knew very well that there were many people who were in the spirit of protecting themselves, and it was really difficult to start from the hospital for a while.
"Is there a chance to find out?" Mu Rong didn't have hope in his heart, after all, the emperor's poisoning was a big matter, if there was really such a scene, it would have been a mess a long time ago.
"Haven't found out yet." Concubine Chen's face was not very good: "Since there is no news, it should be good news." She didn't want to live in fear all day.
It's not that Mu Rong doesn't understand this truth, but he doesn't know that the result makes him sleep.
"The mother concubine asked you to come not only for this matter, but also for Qiuyu." Concubine Chen knew that her son was a critical period to recruit talented people, and Qiu Yu could take the opportunity to do a lot of things.
"The holy decree has been issued, but fortunately, the boss has not benefited this time." Mu Rong didn't care about the fall of the examiner in Qiuyu, "Now they are competing for the position of marking officer." ”
"That's fine." Concubine Chen was afraid that her son would not be able to hold her breath, and she had a demon because of the competition for the examiner, and now that she saw someone, she had a matter on her mind, and the two chatted a few words and let Mu Rong leave.
In the middle of summer in August, the temperature gradually rises, and the hot sun scorches the earth, making people extremely tired, even if there is ice cubes to relieve the heat, it is difficult to make people want to move.
In hot weather, ordinary people don't have much appetite, let alone pregnant people, just using some sour food can only suppress temporary nausea and discomfort, but can not stop the stickiness of sweat all over the body.
Wang, who is nearly eight months pregnant, can't bear the fine sweat on his body, and can't bathe because of the pregnancy to avoid accidents, Wang can only retreat and choose a simple wipe.
"It's too hot." Wang motioned to the fan-playing girl next to her to fan hard, and she was about to be too hot to stand it.
"Auntie drink some tea to relieve the heat." Zhilan handed over a cup of lukewarm tea, because pregnant people should not be greedy for cold, such as raw, cold and spicy food, especially need to be avoided, even if Wang wants to drink herbal tea.
Wang only took a sip and handed it back, "I don't have much appetite, the more I drink, the hotter it gets." ”
"If my aunt really can't stand the heat, you might as well go out for a walk, and it's good to breathe." The ring of the fan is opened.
"Where are you going to let me go on a hot day outside?" Wang glared at Xiao Yahuan and didn't take his words to heart.
"Auntie forgot, there is a small garden in this house that is the coolest." Yahuan defended: "In the past, His Royal Highness and his wife often went to the garden to rest in the cold, and my aunt might as well move around more to help production." ”
After Yahuan mentioned this, the Wang family remembered that there was really such a garden, "Look at me I'm all hot and confused, are you talking about a small garden near the north courtyard?" ”
"Exactly." Yahuan replied.
"Isn't that a place being renovated the other day?" Zhilan remembered that there was such a thing.
"It's almost done, and I heard from the craftsman that the repaired place has been completed, and only some precious and beautiful flowers and trees are transplanted." The girls all live together, and often talk about other things together, and there are many sources.
"Then go and see." Wang Shi moved his mind, instead of hiding in the house, it is better to go out for a walk, and besides, the newly renovated garden must be very pleasing to the eye.
"The aunt prepares first, and the slave maid goes over there to ask if it is really repaired, so as not to have an accident." Zhilan has always been cautious, but now the Wang family is no more expensive than a person, and if she really has to go on a business trip, the first of them to be slaves and maids can't eat and walk around.
The maids went into the house to pack up a few things to bring, such as common things such as food and mats.
Zhilan came back after a while, saying that there was no problem with the garden.
When Wang heard this, he happily prepared to go out, the small courtyard was a little remote from his residence, but it was only close to Yuan's residence, so he didn't go there often.
Due to Wang's physical inconvenience, Zhilan called two servants to carry the soft sedan chair and helped Wang to sit on it carefully, so that he would not be unable to walk halfway.
When you get to the place, the soft bridge can't enter the doorway, so you can only park outside, fortunately, there are not a few steps, Wang got off the soft sedan chair and held his stomach in Zhilan's support and carefully walked into the park.
As soon as you enter the garden, the fragrance of the grass and trees comes to your face, not heavy but pleasant, there are already lush and tall trees in the garden, the branches and leaves are staggered to block a part of the sun, because the location of the garden is ventilated and cool, so that people immediately feel that it is much cooler than the outside as soon as they enter the garden, Wang is very happy, and takes people into the pavilion in the garden.
The maids quickly spread soft cushions on their hands and feet to separate the coolness on the stone bench, and set up tea and fruits on the stone table to eat, before helping Wang to sit down, and the two maids played fans for Wang.
Wang took a sip of tea comfortably, enjoying the breeze at this moment, bringing a little coolness.
At this time, in Ouyang Yun's yard, Ouyang Yun walked around the house irritably, and the fan in her hand kept fanning, but she still didn't feel how cool it was.
"Mrs. Fang, you might as well go to the North Courtyard for a walk." Yahuan on the side saw that Ouyang Yun was really too hot to stand it, and kindly said: "I heard from others that there is a garden in the north that is just close to Madame's residence, which has just been renovated recently, and the trees in the garden are shady, which is the best place to enjoy the coolness." ”
Ouyang Yun thought for a while and said, "Then let's go." "Since you have a place to go, you don't have to stay in the house all the time.
Yahuan happily prepared things, and of course she had to prepare something to eat when she wanted to go out.
At this time, Ouyang Yun didn't know that a long-planned show was about to start, and the most important thing for women in the backyard was means, and in order to achieve the goal, of course, they had to start first.
Wang sat for a long time and was tired, it was time to go back, and asked Yahuan to pack up her things and go back.
"The slave and maid go and call the soft sedan chair." The soft sedan called before was carried back by the same way because of the long stay, so the two little servants were carried back the same way.
Wang raised his hand and motioned for Zhilan to ask someone to carry the soft sedan chair, and he held Yahuan's hand and walked slowly, until he was not in a hurry to take the soft sedan back.
Just out of the garden, walking on the gravel road around the flowers and trees, the mood is extraordinarily relaxed, is happy, the foot of the foot for a moment suddenly to the side of the skew, Yahuan was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang, unexpectedly Wang's body is quite heavy, which is a Yahuan can be moved, this is good, the weight of the whole body is pressed on the right foot, even if there is a Yahuan underneath the support, the right foot can not be spared.
This time it was so ruthless that Wang screamed and fell on Yahuan's body, and he couldn't get up in pain for a while.
At this moment, Ouyang Yun walked over with Yahuan, and at a glance, he saw a bunch of people who fell to the ground, shouting and exclaiming.
"Isn't that Aunt Wang?" Yahuan looked at the situation in front of her, obviously noticed that Wang was tripping, and Yahuan, who followed for a while, was in a hurry.
"Mrs. Fang, do you need to come forward to help?" Yahuan cautiously glanced at Ouyang Yun who stopped, who in this mansion didn't know that Mrs. Fang and Aunt Wang were at odds.
"No, you don't." Ouyang Yun saw that the Wang family was unlucky at this time, not to mention how happy she was, how could she come forward to help, "It's good to come forward to help, don't be mistaken for me when the time comes." With the lesson of the last time, she understands that even if it is a good intention, it will be said that it is ill-intentioned in the mouth of others.
"Does the lady still want to go to the garden in front of her?" If you want to go to that garden, you must pass by the place where Wang fell, and if Wang looks at it, you have to have something to say.
At this time, Zhilan came with the person carrying the soft sedan chair, and at a glance, she saw Ouyang Yun and his party standing on the side, so she couldn't help but come forward to salute.
"Excuse me, go and see your aunt, I guess the fall is not light." Ouyang Yun kindly reminded her, and her eyes never left the Wang family, who was finally helped up.
Zhilan looked forward at this time, her heart was broken, and she hurriedly called the sedan chair bearer to come forward to help.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Zhilan saw that the Wang family was sweating profusely, obviously it was not hot, it must have hurt somewhere.
"How do you take care of it?" At that moment, Zhilan scolded sharply, raised her hand and slapped the girl ring who was close to her, if the Wang family had a mistake, it would be a big deal of losing two lives.
The slapped-girl was very aggrieved when she was in her heart, it was Aunt Wang who only cared about looking elsewhere and didn't pay attention to her feet, so she broke her foot to wish to be on their gang of maids, even if she was wronged in her heart, she didn't dare to show half a point, for fear of being punished again, it would not be a slap in the face.
The two servants helped Wang onto the soft sedan chair, and the girls breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang's lips trembled in pain, and he couldn't speak, so he could only raise his hand and signal to hurry back.
"Yo, it looks like Wang's injury is not light?" Ouyang Yun stepped forward and teased: "Don't hurt the child in your womb, otherwise you minions can't afford to pay for it." ”
Only then did the Wang family notice that Ouyang Yun was here, how could he pay attention to anything else in the previous chaos, Ouyang Yun's arrival made Wang's heart bulge, and he subconsciously wondered if this incident was caused by Ouyang Yun, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence, it was fine when he came, how could such a thing happen when he went back.
Of course, the Wang family doesn't have the time to play tricks with Ouyang Yun now, how can she have the strength to speak because of the pain in her feet, plus Ouyang Yun mentioned the child in her womb in her words, she didn't feel that she was being mentioned, and she wanted to go back and ask the doctor to take a look as soon as possible.
"Mrs. Fang, my aunt's injury is not light, you see?" Zhilan is now anxious, she must do her best to take the Wang family back, and if she really wants to delay her life for a while and a half, none of them can afford it.
"It seems to be quite painful, so I won't delay you." The smile on Ouyang Yun's face was just a smile for the Wang family, which made the Wang family arrogant, and it was really an eye-opener for God to see it now.
Wang naturally saw the extremely dazzling smile on Ouyang Yun's face, not to mention the panic in her heart, fortunately, she still knew which was important, and immediately ordered someone to carry the sedan chair back, she wrote down this hatred, and in the future, she will let Ouyang Yun pay it back with interest.
Looking at the Wang family who left in a hurry, Ouyang Yun felt comfortable in her heart, and couldn't stop laughing, it was really unpleasant.
"Madame Side, do you want to go to the garden in front?" Yahuan asked again.
"I'm not going, I'm done watching the play." Ouyang Yun secretly said that he came to the right place today.
"So, go back?" Yahuan asked.
Ouyang Yun thought about it again and again and turned around and left, "Go to Madame, since something happened to the Wang family, you must give a voice to Madame of the ward." "She doesn't want the wicked to sue first after the Wang family goes back.
"Yes." Yahuan bowed her head and followed.
Ouyang Yun went to the Yuan clan to explain the situation, the first priority was to clear himself, and then he went to see the jokes of the Wang family, and of course he had to pull the Yuan family, who was the concubine.
Coincidentally, as soon as Ouyang Yun finished speaking, there was a maid from the Wang family who asked to see her, and told the Yuan family about Wang's injury.
Since the Wang family sent Yahuan to give gifts, Yu Qing and the Yuan family, the housewife, should go over and take a look, and as for Ouyang Yun, she must go with her.
On the way to Wang's place, they happened to meet the Li family, the Yu family, and the Yan family, and all three of them came to visit after learning about Wang's accident.
"I'm well informed." Ouyang Yun glanced at the three of the Li family with a smile.
Now was not the time to talk about this, the Yuan clan led a large group of people into the Wang clan's courtyard.
The doctor in Wang's house was already looking at Wang's injuries, and when he saw Yuan's and others entering the house, he came forward to salute.
Yuan waved his hand to let the doctor continue to do his own thing, looked at Wang's face on the bed that was pale from pain, and asked, "Is it seriously injured?" ”
The doctor has been diagnosed for a while and replied, "It's just a broken foot, but fortunately it didn't hurt the bone, the redness and swelling are inevitable, and I need to apply medicine to rest in bed." ”
"That's good." Yuan Shi asked again, "Can the fetus in the womb have an effect?" ”
"That's not it." The doctor was uncertain and came forward again and said, "The fetus is fine." ”
"Okay, since you have nothing to do, let's go down and make a prescription." Yuan asked the doctor to go down, because she had to inquire later, and she had to do it enough.
"Yes." The doctor stepped down and went to write the prescription.
"Does the Wang family have something to say?" The Yuan clan gave the Wang clan the right to explain today's events.
Wang glanced at the people who came, and sneered in his heart, Ouyang Yun and the others came to see themselves ugly.
Li spoke before Wang: "I heard that Sister Wang was on the way back from the North Courtyard Garden, and she accidentally broke her foot on the way. ”
"If you want to blame it, you can blame the subordinates for not taking care of it, Sister Wang is a double body, and it must hurt a lot if she breaks her foot." Yu Shi spoke and diluted mud.
"Not really." Yan glanced at Wang, who didn't answer, and said, "I heard that Mrs. Fang happened to be present at that time. The meaning of the words was directed at Ouyang Yun.
The 'just right' in Yan's words is so appropriate, if you think about it deeply, isn't it referring to Ouyang Yun's back.
The Yuan clan looked at Ouyang Yun to explain, after all, the Wang clan did not speak to explain now.
"Heh, it's just right, I don't want to run into it." Ouyang Yun swept his eyes coldly at Li Yan and the others, "I'm going there, the Wang family is coming back, and it's not too close." "There's no way to blame yourself for it.
"Since Mrs. Fang saw Sister Wang fall, why didn't she come forward to help?" How could the Li family let Ouyang Yun exonerate.
"I wanted to come up and help." Ouyang Yun looked sideways at the Wang family, who didn't say a word on the bed, and guessed that the Wang family also wanted to attribute the matter to himself, which would make some people get their wish.
"It's a pity that those who know think I want to save the Wang family, and those who don't know think I'm going to do it secretly." Ouyang Yun smiled and said to the Wang family: "I don't want to be charged with murdering the emperor's heir by some people, of course I have to keep it in mind if I suffer a loss, so as not to be calculated." ”
Ouyang Yun pointed out that Sang's words of scolding Huai made the Wang family and the Li family look very ugly.
After appreciating the ridicule of several people, the Yuan clan turned his head to look at the Wang clan, "What does the Wang clan have to say?" ”
The Wang family wanted to blame Ouyang Yun for the matter, but unfortunately the timing was not right, and he didn't have any evidence to prove that Ouyang Yun was behind his back.
"I was careless." Wang could only swallow this breath, "It has nothing to do with Mrs. Fang." ”
The Wang family has already spoken, saying that Ouyang Yun has nothing to do with the matter, and the Yuan family has no reason to take Ouyang Yun, but what should be done must not be left behind.
"It is an indisputable fact that the subordinates are not well served." Yuan's Zhengse said: "All the subordinates who followed the Wang family at that time will be punished with twenty rods to set an example." ”
