Chapter 192: Self-inflicted
The twilight is deepening, and the scorching smell of summer is gradually dissipated in the evening breeze.
Emperor Su Fang originally said that he would come to have dinner with her, but the queen waited left and right, but she only waited for an edict to let her have dinner by herself first. The queen was afraid that Emperor Su Fang would miss the appointment later, so she couldn't help but lose her appetite and couldn't swallow it, so she put down her chopsticks after only a few bites, and asked people to withdraw the things.
The delicacies are placed there, and when the wind blows, when it is cold and cold, it also looks greasy and greasy, which makes people greasy.
The queen held a plain white brocade handkerchief, gently wiped the corners of her mouth, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of displeasure.
She always felt that Emperor Su Fang didn't take her to heart. Even, even perfunctory is often too lazy to perfunctory.
It's a pity, it's a pity that she gave birth to such a face, which really makes the emperor who is used to seeing beauties happy.
It's all fate......
Staring at the flowers under the corridor, the queen let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, she still has a way to try. But what Concubine Shu said made her scared and made her a little overwhelmed. Concubine Shu's letter said that although this method is good, it is a method of self-damage of 800, and every time it is used, it is a desperate move.
When she first read these words, she only felt that Concubine Shu was deliberately scaring herself. Concubine Shu can use it, why doesn't she dare to use it?
But the queen had a tough attitude on her face, but she was actually very scared in her heart. Once something happens, what can she do?
Concubine Shu gave her a debut problem.
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, so she is in a dilemma.
She took the letter from Concubine Shu, and did not expose the ugly face of Concubine Shu under the skin of a beautiful woman with the imperial concubine in the Izumo Palace. Later, he accepted the fine birds and medicine sent back by Concubine Shu. The queen knew that she was not willing to miss this opportunity.
Either way, she's going to give it a try.
The night is getting darker. The stars scattered in the night sky also became brighter and brighter, like a pair of eyes, looking at this filthy world with a sneering meaning.
The queen lowered her eyes and sneered, and sent someone to Emperor Su Fang's place to probe the wind, wondering if Emperor Su Fang would come tonight. After all, there was only one pack of medicine I got from Concubine Shu. Naturally, judging from the temperament of Concubine Shu. This eighty percent is tricking her. The queen didn't believe it, Concubine Shu really only had such a packet of medicine in her hand.
But Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said, this is the only package.
If she doesn't believe it, she has to believe it first.
Outside the window, it was drizzling at some point. The queen frowned, and ordered the doors and windows to be closed, except for the one beside her.
Because of this rain, she felt more and more unconfident in her heart.
Emperor Su Fang said that he would stay in Jingtai Palace tonight. But in the end, as long as the people haven't come. There's no certainty about that. She had a headache and was worried that Emperor Su Fang would not show up because of this night rain.
Fortunately, she didn't worry for long, and the palace people who went to listen to the wind came back in the light rain.
As soon as he entered, the palace people reported the good news: "Niangniang, the emperor asked you to rest first, and then come when the emperor finishes approving the folding." ”
The queen rejoiced when she heard this. Hurriedly asked people to reward him.
After a little silence, the queen hurriedly got up. The long skirt swept across the mirror-like gold brick floor and hurried towards the dormitory. She gave orders to go down, and had hot water be prepared, and incense-scented underwear was fetched.
The fine bird needs to be lured with incense, and she is not afraid that Concubine Shu will deceive her.
After a while, there was a commotion in Jingtai Palace. A group of palace people were busy back and forth, serving the queen in a wide robe into the bathtub, washing every pore on her body and spraying incense.
This scene doesn't look so much like a bath. On the contrary, it is like a group of people polishing some exquisite and rare utensils.
Porcelain, glaze, incense......
The bland-looking queen has also become radiant under the meticulous craftsmanship of wave after wave. Under the light, the eyebrows and eyes of the woman in the mirror are still the same eyebrows, but the style implied between the eyebrows and eyes is not the same.
The queen stretched out her hand and stroked her face carefully, her heart was full of mixed tastes, and she didn't know how to describe it.
She looked at the reflection in the mirror, smiled slightly, and sent someone out again to inquire about Emperor Sufang's movements.
This time, the palace people came back faster, saying that Emperor Su Fang had finished approving the excerpts and was going to Jingtai Palace.
When the queen heard this, she was overjoyed, and quietly asked her to fetch the birds, and then drove them all down, leaving her alone in the dormitory.
The tea on the low table was warm, and she didn't call anyone in, so she only made one herself. The bag she had obtained from Concubine Shu was slowly opened by her and she took out the medicine. The bag was hidden again, and the queen opened the mulberry paper wrapped in the powder with bated breath.
The powder inside is finely ground, and when you smell it, there is no smell.
Empress Lian hesitated to stare at the bag of medicine powder that had been opened, walking back and forth in the dormitory.
Suddenly, someone outside lowered his voice and reminded: "Niangniang, the emperor has been to Ningtaimen!" ”
Ningtai Gate is the second gate of Jingtai Palace.
The queen was startled, and her face turned blue.
She looked at the tea and the packet of powder, strode to the low table, poured the powder into the teacup, gritted her teeth and poured it down.
……
At the same time, the lady lady in the Izumo Hall was bringing someone up with a decoction of the fetal pill and drinking it to fall asleep early.
She attaches great importance to the child in her womb, but I don't know if it was because she used such a side-by-side method to get this piece of flesh and bone in her womb, and her fetal appearance is not very good. The imperial doctor said that if he survived the first three months, he would probably be fine in the future.
Concubine Shu privately calculated the days by herself, calculated when she should "die", and counted when "Miss Rong Jiu" would be able to enter the palace.
So this fetus must be preserved.
Emperor Su Fang did not come to visit her for many days, nor did he inform her that this matter had been handed over to the imperial concubine to deal with, so Concubine Shu felt a little uneasy.
The queen suddenly made such a fuss, how could she not doubt it that she was such a shrewd person, and she was ready overnight. Sure enough, the good house collapsed. The queen stepped on the night and wanted to come to find her bad luck. But that stupid thing, where is her opponent!
The queen thinks she has grasped her handle and takes it lightly, but she doesn't know who really holds the overall situation. Actually, it's her.
"How many days will I have to drink this medicine?" Concubine Shu was proud in her heart, and even looked at the bowl of black medicinal juice in front of her. She took the medicine bowl, pinched the spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and cooled it before putting it in her mouth. The medicinal juice was extremely bitter, she drank a few spoonfuls, and was a little nauseated, so she hurriedly put it aside and asked out loud.
The palace maid waiting on the side lowered her eyes and said, "There are still three days' weight." ”
Concubine Shu didn't frown when she heard this. Hold the bowl back up and place it to your lips.
It is a medicine that is three parts poisonous, if it can. She really didn't want to take medicine at such a time. But she was born in a bad fetus, if she didn't take medicine to protect the fetus, no one knew what would happen in the future. She could only honestly take the medicine.
As soon as the translucent pale yellow glass bowl was poured, the liquid in the bowl flowed down her throat and into her stomach.
It's bitter!
Concubine Shu covered her mouth. He handed the bowl out. The center of the eyebrows was tightly twisted.
The rich smell of medicine lingered all around, diluting the original sweet and greasy aroma in the room. In fact, since then, she knew that she was pregnant, so she didn't even dare to use incense indiscriminately, in this Izumo Palace, in fact, she hadn't lit incense for a long time. But the incense used in the past, the lingering aftertaste, is actually long-lasting, until now the smell of medicine is pervasive. and it was covered down a lot.
Concubine Shu turned her face away and slowed her breathing. suppressed the feeling of wanting to vomit.
You can't take all these medicines in vain, and if you vomit, you won't have to drink them again.
Her throat and eyes were inexplicably astringent, she coughed lightly twice, her brows furrowed more and more tightly, and she felt in a daze that the medicine she drank this time seemed to be particularly bitter.
However, there is still a hint of bitterness in this bitterness......
Concubine Shu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "Is this medicine still the one prescribed by the imperial doctor before?" ”
The palace people should be, "In recent days, I have eaten this recipe, and there is no side." ”
Concubine Shu bowed slightly when she heard this, thinking that she should have taken too much medicine, and even the taste seemed strange.
The people in the Izumo Hall were all carefully selected by her, and she was very relieved.
As the night deepened, Concubine Shu fell asleep in her clothes and lay down for a while, but her eyes were still open.
She is still waiting for news from Jingtai Palace, so she can sleep.
Time passed little by little, and the queen in Jingtai Palace was also anxiously waiting for the arrival of Emperor Sufang.
But the palace maid had obviously come before, and Emperor Su Fang had passed the Ningtai Gate, but until this time, she had not been able to see Emperor Su Fang's figure.
It was as if there was a fire burning in her heart, from the slow flames to a monstrous fire, so hot that she couldn't even wear her underwear, and her consciousness gradually blurred, and she even began to be at a loss where she was. Her face was flushed, like a snake awakened from the middle of winter, writhing in the spring grass, eager to shed the skin from her body.
There seemed to be the chirping of a fine bird in my ears, one after another, endlessly.
The queen opened her mouth and raised her voice to call: "What about the emperor?" Where is the emperor? ”
But the queen thought she had asked the question, but there was silence in the room.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and there was a slight "ho-ho" sound in her throat, but she never said a word.
In the distance, there seemed to be a figure in front of the tent.
The queen struggled to open her eyes and look out through the hazy tent.
Tall man, with a wide robe and brocade robe......
As soon as the pinna of the ear was hot, the queen stretched out her white jade hand to open the tent and grabbed a corner of the robe.
The queen's hair is slightly loose, like waking up from spring sleep, and her eyebrows are charming, which is completely different from her past appearance.
She grabbed the corner robe and refused to let go.
The two palace maids standing there from a distance glanced at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
One of them was suspicious and called, "Mother......
But the queen didn't look at them, only to see the man standing in front of the bed dragging him on the bed.
The man was wearing an official costume on his body, but there was a green beard on his chin, so he didn't look like a serious eunuch......
The two palace maids let out a low exclamation and retreated tremblingly.
The night rain was dripping, and Emperor Sufang, who had passed the Ningtai Gate early, turned back at the moment of approaching.
Because the imperial concubine was distressed, she couldn't sleep at night, and she just looked forward to seeing him...... (To be continued......)
