Chapter 138

Zhou Baolu saw that there was no one around, and asked Wang Jinxiu in a low voice: "Does the third master know about this?" What did the third master say? โ
Wang Jinxiu covered her face, and said after a while: "This month, the mother concubine is getting worse and worse, the sober hours of the day add up to less than an hour, the former imperial doctor has already made it clear to the father, saying that the mother concubine is just a day, this will be the son and the father's edict have been issued, and the third master can't even eat anything these days, I really ...... I didn't tell him. โ
Zhou Baolu took her hand to comfort her, sighed, and asked, "Who diagnosed the hospital?" โ
Of course, Wang Jinxiu also understood what Zhou Baolu meant: "It's Imperial Doctor Guo, his son is now a petty official under my third uncle, I told him not to play the emperor of Ming first, and don't tell others." โ
But it can't be hidden for long, the bloodline of the heavenly family is extraordinary, and Doctor Guo diagnosed the princess's bloodline but did not play, and it was also a great risk, Zhou Baolu thought about it for a while, and said in a low voice: "You are resting more now, the things here, if you can give them to the maids, you can let them do it, this is not a trivial matter, you have to have a success by yourself." โ
"What should I do?" Wang Jinxiu was a little panicked, she was still a little girl, and she was just married.
"It's not your fault." Zhou Baolu comforted her: "You have to tell the third master, the third master will naturally call the shots for you, in my opinion, when Concubine Qi Niangniang left, she knew that you were pregnant, maybe she could rest assured, right?" โ
Wang Jinxiu nodded, stayed for a while, and couldn't help covering her face and crying again.
She has really had a hard time in the past few months, no matter what the pressure is, and she has to serve her mother-in-law without undressing, and there are that kind of stinging rumors outside, and it is the little girl's new marriage, which should be a sweet wedding day, the husband's mood is extremely bad, even for her, there is no emotion, Wang Jinxiu was also the proud daughter of the sky who grew up in Jinzun Yugui, and it is not surprising to think of this untimely child at this time, and it is not surprising to collapse and cry.
Zhou Baolu put his arm around her shoulders and patiently comforted her.
Zhou Baolu only returned to the East Palace before lunch, and when she heard such a thing, she was not in a good mood, and she couldn't eat lunch, so when Xiao Hongcheng came back, she asked the maid to invite: "Tell the prince, there is something important." โ
It's been a few days since the prince lost his temper last time, and it happened that Zhou Baolu's little day had arrived, so he simply went to Hong Liangdi's room for two days, which was not abrupt.
When Xiao Hongcheng came in the door, he teased his daughter-in-law first: "What's the matter, you miss me?" โ
Seeing her appearance again, she got serious: "Something? โ
Zhou Baolu sighed and told Wang Jinxiu about it, Xiao Hongcheng said: "Actually, it's not a bad thing, it's always a good thing to have an heir, especially now that my father and emperor don't have a grandson!" The third brother should understand how to deal with it. โ
"What can be done?" Zhou Baolu said that it was a happy event for the princess to have a happy vein, but it was not right at the right time, which would inevitably hinder the reputation of the three princes and his wife.
"What's so hard about this!" Xiao Hongcheng said: "Go back and go to Enhua Palace to arrange it, several imperial doctors in Enhua Palace are guarding Concubine Qi's medicine, you find a reason, call the third brother and sister to diagnose the pulse, in front of people, just say it, just a little, the third brother and sister are pregnant not for two months, but three months!" โ
Zhou Baolu suddenly realized!
Xiao Hongqing and Wang Jinxiu got married in June, and it is now three months, and there is joy in the night of the cave room, that is, the proverbial bed-sitting joy, in this way, no one can find fault with Xiao Hongqing and Wang Jinxiu.
Zhou Baolu smiled: "This is good! When the time comes, I will add two more sentences, saying that Concubine Qi will have grandchildren after hearing the good news, and her spirit of joy will be much better, and she will become more and more complete. โ
She said to Xiao Hongcheng happily: "You are so powerful, you thought of this good way all of a sudden!" โ
Xiao Hongcheng smiled.
Then Zhou Baolu realized again, looked at Xiao Hongcheng twice, and knew that he must have known about it, and deliberately waited for himself to invite.
This guy is getting more and more bored!
Xiao Hongcheng sat down in front of her, hugged her and bit her ear: "I know what you think in your heart, in fact, this is just an ordinary idea, the good idea is still to come, do you want to listen?" Let's kiss one first! โ
Zhou Baolu looked at him suspiciously.
Xiao Hongcheng was amused by her skeptical eyes, and bargained with her: "Then I'll suffer a loss, I'll say first, if it's really good, you can kiss me again, how about it!" โ
Zhou Baolu nodded immediately.
Xiao Hongcheng said: "Do you still remember the mother of Concubine Xi's mother? โ
Zhou Baolu nodded, what happened a while ago is basically clear now, Ranmo is a smart person, after surrendering, she honestly confessed the ideas she knew to Wu Yuehua, so Zhou Baolu knew the ins and outs.
Because Xiao Hongcheng is the prince, he is naturally the imaginary enemy of Concubine Xi. And the shadow that comes after everything is the current Mrs. of the Jingguo Justice Office, the mother of Concubine Xi.
This is something that has already been investigated, but what does Xiao Hongcheng mean when he mentions the Han family? What are you going to do with her?
Xiao Hongcheng attached himself to Zhou Baolu's ear, laughing and whispering a few words.
Zhou Baolu laughed out loud as soon as he 'ha', his big eyes and smiling eyebrows were crooked, which was very cute, and he also hugged Xiao Hongcheng and kissed him loudly on the face!
Two days later, it was the ceremony of Concubine Qi Niangniang to be crowned the imperial concubine, the second time in ten years, although everyone knew that Concubine Qi was going to die, but the royal etiquette was here, and the crowns were still gathered, and the ladies who were famous in the imperial capital had to enter the palace to congratulate.
Because Concubine Qi couldn't stand up, she could only ask someone to wait for her to change into her dress, carry her shoulder to the main hall, kowtow to the emperor, and then come step by step according to etiquette.
The internal and external wives all gathered together, Wang Jinxiu was dressed in a dress and served on the side, and the third prince Xiao Hongqing led his younger brother Xiao Honglan to follow.
Zhou Baolu looked at it quietly for a while, and saw the Duchess of Jingguo, Han Shi, talking with Concubine Xi.
Han is in her early forties, and Concubine Xi looks like her mother, but she is more beautiful, and the corners of Han's mouth are slightly downturned, looking a little mean and stern.
The so-called relationship is born from the heart, Zhou Baolu thought of what she did, and felt that she really deserved to look like this. However, Zhou Baolu only glanced at it and turned his head.
She has never hated a person so much in her life, and Han is the first!
Because it is very hidden, these things are found out one after another, or because of the clues on the burning ink side, they can only be found out.
Concubine Xi is the eldest daughter of the princess of Jingguo, a noble daughter of the princess, and she is a concubine when she enters the palace, but she is unlucky, she met the mysterious ten years of the emperor when she entered the palace, she only saw Tianyan once when she was carried into the palace to meet the saint, and the saint never showed up again.
The king has never even shown his face, how can he come to the holy favor, how can he take the heir, how can he come to the future glory and glory?
It is difficult to solve the five years of extreme loneliness in the deep palace, Concubine Xi has a high heart, and her mind is fine, and she inevitably thinks too much, coupled with the kind of despair and the pain that she can't even tell anyone, the already delicate girl's body is getting worse and worse, and her body is becoming more and more graceful.
It's just that I didn't expect that after five years like this, Concubine Xi was completely desperate, but the Supreme Emperor suddenly came to the harem, flipped the brand according to the position, the rain and dew were evenly wet, and everyone had a share, for a while, as if the entire harem suddenly came to life.
That year, the harem concubines came out with good news, the princesses and princesses were born one after another, although Concubine Xi was weak, she was also pregnant, and she gave birth to five princes in one fell swoop, which was simply infinitely joyful.
But soon, several princes who had ten years ago grew up, among which Xiao Hongcheng occupied the words "ๅซก" and "Chang", which was quite saintly and blue-eyed, and was registered as the crown prince, at that time, the fifth prince was only five years old.
What did Concubine Xi think, of course Ranmo didn't know, she was Concubine Xi's maid beside the concubine at that time, and she could be regarded as one of the small chess pieces that Concubine Xi cast all over the net, and she hadn't played any role yet.
She only knew that Concubine Xi was quiet and arranged people in the East Palace.
Later, the concubine was promoted to the concubine, and she jumped and pressed on the head of Concubine Xi, and Burning Mo was considered to be out of the way, and she was reused by Concubine Xi and knew a lot of things.
For example, after the prince's wedding, the East Palace spy reported that the prince stayed in the princess's house for half a month, and the couple were deeply affectionate, talking and laughing, and the concubine discussed with her mother's family, and her sister-in-law and sister-in-law spared no effort to quietly spread rumors about the princess's jealousy.
For example, Concubine Xi's maiden sister-in-law quietly operated, provoking the princess's grandmother to give the princess no face in public, and spread the news that the princess was filial piety.
For example, in the case of Xiao Jun, when he opened the small treasury of the โกโก, there was also the shadow of the Jingguo family.
As for the rumors about Xiao Hongqing, it is difficult to say whether there is a shadow of Concubine Xi in the future.
Speaking of it, the technique is very familiar, a bit of the style of Concubine Xi, rumors, rumors, or rumors, to be precise, it is the technique of Concubine Xi's mother.
After Xiao Hongcheng and Zhou Baolu knew the target, they really checked the Jingguo family, and finally found Concubine Xi's mother, Han.
Excavating the large and small events that have occurred in the Jingguo Mansion in the past 20 years, combined with the records of the state of the imperial capital at that time on the file, it can be found that the Han family is very skilled in using this technique.
She seems to be very good at using the aggressiveness of rumors to bring down opponents and achieve goals, whether it is a fight with her husband's younger siblings and sisters-in-law, or a fight for her children's relatives, her methods are very common to use rumors and bad reputation and damage to her image as an auxiliary.
Although it is difficult for this technique to have an immediate effect, it is highly concealed and not easy to be detected, and it is difficult for the person who is plotted to deny and explain, and there is no need to make up for accidents.
Xiao Hongcheng's intelligence team is not a vegetarian, after a lot of analysis and assumptions about the means and styles of things, plus the connections between the target people that have been identified, they finally locked down the person who contributed to the troubles and even single-handedly led after these things, that is, Concubine Xi's biological mother Han, and now the lady of the Jingguo Justice Office.
When Xiao Hongcheng came back to talk to her about this matter that day, he naturally also talked about the glorious achievements of Duchess Jingguo in the past few decades, and Zhou Baolu's hands trembled when he listened: "Why is someone vicious like this?" โ
It turns out that he is just a pediatrician, but even so, the feeling of Zhou Baolu a few days ago is still fresh in his memory, it is too uncomfortable! She grew so big, it was really the most uncomfortable time, the feeling of being pulled and falling desperately, and there was nowhere to focus, it was really uncomfortable.
And that's her new wedding!
She and Xiao Hongcheng were in love, and after waiting for three years, the newlywed should have been particularly sweet, but as soon as this person was stirred, the sweet days were overshadowed.
Even in retrospect, it's not comfortable, is it?
Zhou Baolu's teeth itch more and more!
Of course, Zhou Baolu would never tell Xiao Hongcheng this reason, hum, if he understood what he thought, his tail would not reach the sky?
Zhou Baolu felt that although his counterattack was sharp enough to drive Han's biological daughter Hugh home, and now she has been sent to her hometown temple, but Han and Concubine Xi both thought that the concubine did it, which was really not very happy!
There is a feeling that all the credit is given to the concubine, Zhou Baolu thought a little angrily.
When the ceremony was about to start the banquet, Concubine Qi sent the throne to everyone to congratulate, and after the salute, everyone seemed relaxed, and Zhou Baolu also walked slowly with a smile and talked to the ladies.
Although she is the crown princess, with the highest grade, at least more than half of the people present are related elders, and Zhou Baolu also wants to express her closeness, and it will be okay to be horizontal.
Zhou Baolu walked to Concubine Xi and Han, and also spoke with a smile, praising Han's blessings, adding a brother to the family, and praising Concubine Xi's new phoenix hairpin today's exquisite and luxurious, Concubine Xi smiled and said: "This is the ...... of the previous saint's reward."
As he was talking, there was a small exclamation behind him, Zhou Baolu hurriedly turned around to see that Princess Jing Wang Jinxiu, who was serving in front of the imperial concubine, was probably too tired, and the whole person fell backwards, and the second princess standing next to her had already rushed to help her.
Wang Jinxiu's face was pale, a little blue, and it was obvious that he was very thin, and the people present all had eyes, so they naturally knew that this was caused by the fatigue of the service and the poor rest.
Wei Guifei, who was in charge of the overall situation, had already sent people to call the imperial doctor one after another: "What kind of hospital to go to!" This will be a ready-made imperial doctor serving the imperial concubine, and immediately send one to Princess Jing to ask for a pulse! Fast! โ
Zhou Baolu saw that Wang Jinxiu was immediately surrounded by people, in addition to the people who were waiting, of course, there were Wang Jinxiu's mother, aunt, aunt or cousin, etc., she couldn't intervene in the past, so she ordered: "Send someone out to talk to King Jing." โ
Han complimented: "Niangniang is thoughtful. โ
Zhou Baolu just smiled slightly.
But for a moment, Imperial Physician Guo had already carried the medical box, and rushed over, the old man of fifty was sweating, his breath was uneven, and he dared to diagnose the pulse after a while.
After diagnosing his left hand, Imperial Physician Guo's face was solemn, and he said, "Please have the princess's right hand." โ
After a diagnosis, he stood up and replied: "Congratulations to the imperial concubine, congratulations to the princess, princess is a happy pulse!" It's just that in recent days, after working, my body and bones have become weaker, and I am restless and overly sad, I will faint. โ
Some of the people present let out a small exclamation, and everyone had similar thoughts in their hearts, although it was a happy event that the mother concubine had been seriously ill for so long, but the princess was pregnant...... Not really, right?
Wei Guifei was silent for a long time, Zhou Baolu sneered in her heart, and asked, "Lord Guo, how long has Princess Jing been happy?" โ
Imperial Physician Guo replied: "If you go back to the princess, Princess Jing's happy letter will be about three months. โ
Wei Guifei said: "What do you do in the hospital!" Ask for a safe pulse for the princess every ten days, why did the princess faint today and only diagnosed the happy pulse? It's been three months? โ
Many ladies nodded lightly in their hearts, feeling that this matter was a bit strange.
Imperial Physician Guo played unhurriedly: "If you go back to the concubine Niangniang, on weekdays, the Tai Hospital is to ask for a safe pulse for Princess Jing as usual, but since Princess Jing got married, she has been serving in the palace, she can't untie her clothes, she is very hard, and she has many symptoms such as spleen and stomach disharmony, liver depression, etc. โ
Dr. Guo memorized a large number of medical book pulses, saying that he was too tired and too sad, so he didn't diagnose the happy pulse! He concluded: "It's just this time, and Weichen also thinks twice before he dares to be sure. โ
Everyone was in a fog, but after a little calculation in their hearts, they knew that since it was a three-month happy pulse, it was there on the two days of the wedding, and there was really nothing wrong.
Zhou Baolu saw that Concubine Wei was unwilling, so she said: "First send Princess Jing into the inner hall to rest, and then turn back to the hospital and the doctor is re-examining. โ
The imperial concubine originally needed someone to sit down, and she had been drowsy, but at this time she seemed to hear something, opened her eyes and said a word, but it was very vague, but the second princess next to her seemed to understand, and said loudly: "Niangniang is happy, you heard it right, the third sister-in-law is already three months pregnant!" โ
The imperial concubine really heard it now, and tears appeared in her cloudy eyes, and she said vaguely: "Okay...... Okay, tell her to rest...... Good life and ...... If you can give me a grandchild, I can close my eyes......"
It was indeed very comforting.
The eldest princess also helped on the side, and said with a smile: "What Niangniang said is that Niangniang also has to give birth to a good child, and it is good to see the third brother and sister give birth to a brother!" โ
Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "I see, this happy letter came in time, and the mother listened to this happy letter, and this complexion actually got better. โ
As soon as the crown princess said this, the surrounding ladies echoed it, and there was already a saying of Chongxi in this custom, but now that Princess Jing is three months pregnant, there is no longer the slightest hindrance, it is completely a great joy, more like Chongxi.
Zhou Baolu heard that there was a little bit of excitement and noise around her, so she whispered to Han: "Princess Jing is really blessed. โ
Because of the whisper she said, Han unconsciously leaned over slightly, leaning closer, thinking in his heart that this princess was obviously envious and jealous. If Princess Jing gives birth to her brother, she will be the eldest grandson of the saint, and the weight is different, she was pondering in her heart, and she whispered in her mouth: "Yes, it is indeed blessed." โ
"What!" Unexpectedly, Zhou Baolu suddenly raised his voice, although the surroundings were slightly lively, but in the end, it was all the ladies who spoke, and it was not very noisy, Zhou Baolu was a girl's voice, and it was very penetrating when it was raised, and the hall was quiet in an instant, and everyone looked over.
Zhou Baolu's face was angry, and he said loudly: "Duchess Guo, please be careful!" Princess Jing is pregnant, this is a great joy for the heavenly family, that is, for the imperial concubine, it is also a happy event, and Princess Jing has been pregnant for three months, which shows that it was at the time of the wedding, what does it have to do with the future, what does it mean to 'see that the imperial concubine is seriously ill, and Prince Jing is still in the mood to seek joy?' This filial piety ...... 'Princess Jing has entered the palace to serve the sick since three days after her wedding, and she has served the imperial concubine with her clothes untied, so hard, who can't see it? Even people have become thin like this, not only the imperial concubine, but also the saint also praises Princess Jing's pure filial piety, you dare to talk about the unfilial piety of Prince Jing and Princess Jing? โ
Han Shi was still at a loss at first, and then saw that Zhou Baolu said it clearly, and actually made up such words, he couldn't help but be angry, and said angrily: "Where did the crown princess Niangniang's words come from?" I just said that Princess Jing is blessed, where did she say such a thing, how can Niangniang spew blood? โ
Zhou Baolu sneered, and didn't argue with her, but said: "Why, knowing that this is inappropriate, you don't dare to admit it in front of people?" โ
Zhou Baolu's heart is extremely happy, when you make up other people's rumors, it's different from this, right? You've also tasted the feeling of humiliation when you want to vomit blood but can't vomit when you hear your own rumors, right?
Everyone present exchanged glances, this sentence was very similar to Han's usual style of talking about people in private, obviously most people believed that Han said this.
There are quite a few shrewd people who have already thought of seizing the heir and smearing the reputation of the three princes, which is obviously not harmful to the five princes. Some people even think deeper, provoking the relationship between the prince and King Jing is obviously not harmful to the five princes.
And the crown princess has a different status from her, she is such a little girl, no matter how smart she is, how can she compare with her old and spicy duchess of the country? How could he suddenly frame her?
Han was very anxious, but unfortunately his argument was very pale and weak: "Niangniang, how can you fabricate it like this, the concubine really didn't say that." โ
Zhou Baolu understood the advantage of the top of power very well, just sneered, and ordered: "Please Lord Jing, such malicious slander, I have to tell my brother as a sister-in-law!" โ
Han's anxious sweat came out, and Concubine Xi had to come out to support her mother: "It's not appropriate for the crown princess to do this, my mother has always been gentle and virtuous, and she is kind to others, and she will never say such a thing, and even if I stood aside, I didn't hear my mother say that, the crown princess may have heard it, why did you invite Prince Jing?" It's so unruly! โ
Zhou Baolu still maintained that disdainful sneer: "Concubine Xi was talking to Mrs. Zhang just now, what can you hear?" I was talking to the Duchess of the Kingdom that Princess Jing was a blessed person, and I heard the words of the Duchess of the Kingdom clearly! โ
Everyone present obviously saw it, Zhou Baolu was indeed talking to Han, Han leaned over slightly, and seemed to be talking a little privately, and Concubine Xi was indeed talking to someone one step away, of course she couldn't hear it.
At this time, another female voice spoke leisurely: "I didn't hear what the Duchess and the Crown Princess said, it's hard to say, but, Concubine Xi, you said that your mother can't say such a thing, but I don't believe it, the prince just got married, I rarely went to pay homage to Uncle An's uncle, and when I was sitting and chatting, the Duchess said to me personally, 'I heard that the princess is very jealous, and these days of the wedding, I actually detain the prince and not go to other people's houses', I am afraid that I am not the only one who hears this, right?" โ
It turned out to be Princess Zhuang Rou!
Now, everyone is convinced!
Many people present had heard rumors that the crown princess was jealous, and at this time, it suddenly dawned on them that this was the case! Han's smearing of the crown princess is obviously the same as the reason for provoking the crown princess today!
Smearing the crown prince and princess, and provoking the relationship between the prince and the three princes, these are nothing more than a purpose that everyone wants to get.
Even if a few ladies who didn't hear the rumors, when they saw that it was the third princess who said it, they naturally believed it, everyone knew that the third princess and the princess were not right when they were in the boudoir, and later Concubine Qing and the second prince were overthrown by the prince, and the third princess and the prince had a deep hatred like the sea, and they would never fabricate lies to help the princess.
So it must be true.
Concubine Xi swore that her mother would not say such a thing, but she could be sure that since the Han family maliciously smeared the crown princess, then maliciously said bad things about Prince Jing, so what else is there to doubt?
Zhou Baolu was also a little surprised that Princess Zhuang Rou actually stood up to help her at this time, but this occasion was obviously not suitable for anything else, so she just sneered: "Come on, please King Jing!" โ
