Chapter 85: Miscarriage
Xiang Hongxuan just returned to the Flying Feather Hall on the front foot, and Yan Qing came on the back foot, originally Xiang Hongxuan also wanted Qiao Xinyou to come to this hall to play a song for him to relieve the depression just now, but he didn't expect Yan Qing to chase after the Flying Feather Palace, Xiang Hongxuan was a little displeased, he said softly: "Right Minister, I am really tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Xiang Hongxuan waved his hand and motioned for Yan Qing to retreat, but Yan Qing didn't care, he stood motionless, as if he had something to say.
Xiang Hongxuan frowned, Yan Qing rarely became so uninteresting, it seemed that Yan Qing had something important to say, he looked at Xiao Dezi on the side, and Xiao Dezi immediately withdrew from the inner hall.
"Right Prime Minister, you won't also come to persuade me to send the daughter of the dead country out of the harem." Xiang Hongxuan said unhappily.
Yan Qing smiled lightly, he didn't care about Xiang Hongxuan's harem, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to say anything about His Majesty's harem, but Your Majesty, what do you think is the difference between today's early dynasty?" ”
Xiang Hongxuan sneered, on the Golden Palace, Xiang Hongxi was fighting again, and he was stunned again, this early dynasty is different from each other.
"Teacher, Duanwang is just such a character, he is used to being ridiculous and casual, so there is no need to be serious with him."
It seemed that Yan Qing was dissatisfied with the nonsense on the Xianghong Xijin Palace today, and he changed his words and asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, don't you think that there are a lot of officials in the court today?" ”
Xiang Hongxuan naturally noticed that the three batches of concerts for Jiang Bangfeng to ask for the king of Pingnan were all withheld by him, if Xiang Hongxi hadn't made such a fuss today, it is estimated that these ministers were planning to speak up about this matter in the Golden Palace.
"The right minister is also here for the Jiang family?" Xiang Hongxuan asked Xiang Yanqing tentatively, when did it start, Yan Qing's relationship with the Jiang family and the Ling family became close, and Xiang Hongxuan's heart muttered.
"Your Majesty, the Jiang family's title of king, not only the promise of the emperor, but also the Jiang family gave up Nanxi's fief, and the Jiang family is also a family of three generations to serve the Dongyu Kingdom, Your Majesty can't chill the hearts of the heroes?" Yan Qing bitterly persuaded Xiang Hongxuan.
Xiang Hongxuan looked at Yan Qing and said coldly: "Teacher, you told me that I don't want Dongyu to have a king with a different surname, is it wrong for me?" When the emperor asked you to leave the barracks and go to the Tai Academy to teach, he was afraid that you would be suppressed and persecuted by Wang's relatives, so as to protect you, and after I became a minister of my humerus, you are so assisted by my country, are you worthy of the trust of the emperor and my trust? ”
Xiang Hongxuan's words suddenly shocked Yan Qing's thoughts, Yan Qing couldn't help but think of all kinds of things back then, poof, he knelt down in front of Xiang Hongxuan, he slowly took off the hat on his head, respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiang Hongxuan, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister was a criminal slave back then, if it wasn't for the emperor's appreciation of the minister, and the appointment of the minister in the military camp, maybe the minister would have died on the road to exile." When the emperor was dying, His Majesty was entrusted to the minister, and the minister promised the emperor that he would assist His Majesty to become a generation of Ming Jun, Your Majesty, you are a hero, and your intelligence and majesty will be famous in history, so the minister can not watch you go your own way and ruin your wisdom. ”
"What does it mean to go your own way, teacher, don't you see? The entire court is asking for the Jiang family, is it a big fuss? Don't tell me, don't you see that today's speaker is talking about the daughter of the dead country? This is clearly talking about the Jiang family's crown. ”
Xiang Hongxuan roared angrily, and he excitedly threw the piled up pieces on the bookcase in the direction of Yan Qing, and Yan Qing didn't dodge, so he let this book hit him.
"Your Majesty, the Jiang family doesn't have the ability to cover the sky with one hand, Your Majesty, you should understand that the request of the hundred officials is not for the Jiang family, but for themselves."
Xiang Hongxuan's excitement calmed down suddenly, although he was suspicious of the Jiang family, he also knew that in this situation, there was more or less a temptation from his subordinates.
Yan Qing saw that Xiang Hongxuan didn't say a word, and he said again: "Your Majesty, it is reasonable for the courtiers to ask for the title of king for the Jiang family, they are so hard-working, but they just want to know, which is more important between Dongyu's law and the emperor's intentions?" Or is His Majesty's holy judgment a matter of merit or heart? ”
Xiang Hongxuan was stunned, he knew that the officials were testing him, but what he didn't expect was that what they were testing was not their attitude towards the Jiang family, but the direction of the officialdom.
Xiang Hongxuan sat slumped on the dragon chair, staring at the scattered movements, he had a lot of thoughts. Originally, he thought that this was a suppression of the Jiang family, but now it seems that this is a contest between the former courtiers and himself. If he wins this fight, it seems that the result will be worse than losing.
"Rong Zhen, think about it, teacher, stand down."
Yan Qing left the Flying Feather Palace, he lowered his head and sighed, he said everything that should be said, Xiang Hongxuan, who has passed the year of establishment, is no longer the young and vigorous little emperor, how many times can Xiang Hongxuan listen to his words?
.....................................................................................................................
After Aunt An came back from the Flying Feather Palace, as soon as she entered the house, she saw Aunt Yan carrying a bowl of decoction to Ling Xi, Ling Xi looked at the decoction with some hesitation, as if she didn't want to drink it immediately.
"Queen Mother, the slave has come back from the Flying Feather Palace, and Your Majesty said that she would come to Qingfeng Garden to accompany her for dinner."
After Ling Xi listened, she took the medicine bowl in Aunt Yan's hand, and without pausing at all, she drank it down.
"Aunt An, hurry up and get ready, Your Majesty will come soon."
Aunt Yan saw that Ling Xi had finished drinking the medicine, and immediately took the medicine bowl, and then left the house in a hurry with Aunt An.
Aunt An was just about to go to the small kitchen, when she saw Aunt Yan walking towards the backyard with the medicine residue, she hurriedly stepped forward and said deliberately: "Aunt Yan, why do you have to do this kind of thing of pouring the medicine residue yourself, just let Qin'er or Xin'er do it." ”
After Aunt Yan glanced at Aunt An, she said lightly: "Now that the queen mother is heavy, she needs delicate people to take care of her, this kind of heavy work is the most suitable for me, Aunt An, you should hurry up and prepare the things to take over, I heard that His Majesty was unhappy in the previous dynasty today, if there is a mistake, it will not be good." ”
Aunt Yan sent Aunt An away in a few words, and Aunt An couldn't get entangled with her anymore, and Aunt Yan was right, if she didn't prepare well and annoyed Xiang Hongxuan, it would be really unlucky to go home.
However, she looked at the back of Aunt Yan's departure, and always felt that something was strange, but she couldn't say it for a while. Since Ling Xi became pregnant, Ling Xi's diet has been handled by Aunt Yan, could it be said that Aunt Yan is guarding against people? Aunt An sneered, she handled the medicine residue so carefully, I don't know what Aunt Yan is doing behind her back, who made Ling Xi trust her, Aunt An walked into the small kitchen with some loss.
As soon as Xiang Hongxuan walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion, he saw Ling Xi kneeling on the ground to greet him, his brows furrowed, is this still over? Originally, what had been going on was enough to upset him, did Ling Xi want to continue to put pressure on him?
Xiang Hongxuan was extremely angry when he thought of the early rise and the courtiers' scolding of him, he walked straight past Ling Xi, sat at the table, didn't care about Ling Xi's already pregnant body, and said, "Queen, what are you doing here?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine is asking you for guilt, I heard that this morning, the concubine's brother-in-law Zhong Yibo does not know the severity, and openly interferes in the affairs of His Majesty's harem, which is really a big crime, and the concubine is sincerely afraid, so I have come to ask you for guilt."
After speaking, Ling Xi put his hands on the ground, his head pressed against the ground, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, vaguely Xiang Hongxuan seemed to feel Ling Xi's body trembling.
He looked at Ling Xi's sick and weak appearance, and felt a little sorry for her, he bent down, held Ling Xi's arm with one hand, and said softly: "The queen is still pregnant, don't kneel on the ground, don't be distracted by the affairs of the previous dynasty, you should take care of the fetus." ”
Ling Xi pressed her body and didn't get up from the ground, she raised her head, looked at Xiang Hongxuan with teary eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, whether it's the matter of the history of Xiao Nu or the matter of the Jiang family's crown, it's okay?" ”
Xiang Hongxuan was stunned, he couldn't help but withdraw his arm, looked at Ling Xi with a solemn expression, and said faintly: "Queen, I have already said it, don't ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty, do you just take my words as a deaf ear?" ”
Ling Xi lowered her head lonely, just now she took out all her sincerity and courage to beg him for a compromise in front of Xiang Hongxuan, hoping to exchange for a word of approval from Xiang Hongxuan, but unfortunately she overestimated her position in Xiang Hongxuan's heart, at least Xiang Hongxuan didn't love her as much as she imagined.
Two lines of tears crossed Ling Xi's face, she was crying for her own moth-like stupidity, and even more for the child in her belly, her crying was getting louder and sadder.
Xiang Hongxuan's heart was pinched together again, he shouldn't have said such things to Ling Xi, Ling Xi was pregnant after all, and it was not wrong for Ling Xi to speak for the Jiang family.
He squatted in front of Ling Xi, hugged Ling Xi's head to his chest with one hand, and gently patted Ling Xi's back with the other, and said softly: "Queen, I don't blame you, I just don't want you to be distracted and affect our children." ”
As soon as she heard the word child, Ling Xi's tears couldn't be stopped, her hand gently covered her lower abdomen, and after a while, the child in her belly would be miscarried in front of Xiang Hongxuan, thinking of this, Ling Xi stayed quietly in Xiang Hongxuan's arms, letting the tears wet Xiang Hongxuan's clothes.
Suddenly, Xin'er walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion in a panic, she was a little surprised to see the scene in front of her, and she was stunned. Xiang Hongxuan saw Xin'er and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, just now, the Marquis of Pingyuan sent someone into the palace, saying yes, it was the Marquis of Pingyuan, this afternoon, he was sick and passed away." Xin'er stammered a little.
Xiang Hongxuan felt that Ling Xi's body in his arms trembled slightly, he looked at Ling Xi's cheeks of instant defeat, and was even more distressed, he immediately picked up Ling Xi horizontally, and was just about to walk towards the soft collapse. He heard Ling Xi's painful moans, and at the same time, Xiang Hongxuan felt that his palms were a little sticky, and he looked down to see that his wrist sleeves had been soaked red with blood.
"Come on, call the Imperial Doctor." Xiang Hongxuan shouted in panic.
He lowered his head and comforted Ling Xi softly: "Queen, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Ling Xi only felt unbearable abdominal pain, her tears and sweat were intertwined, soaking through her clothes little by little, and her eyes gradually blurred, she knew that the effect of the medicine was working, and her child was about to disappear, but she didn't expect that it would still be so painful, and it hurt to the heart.
