Chapter 122: No One Asks in the Downtown Area
Yuan Ang was really concerned about this matter, and soon brought the antidote, and he didn't know how to persuade Liu Heng to let him feed the unknown antidote to Liu Qi. But in less than an hour, Liu Qi really woke up.
The news quickly spread to the Jiaofang Palace, and Yifang was worried for so many days, and finally could rest assured. Teng Ling and Zi Li also cried with joy, when they learned that Liu Qi's life was hanging by a thread, they were afraid that Liu Qi would not be able to hold on, and they would even take Yifang to collapse.
In Weiyang Palace, Liu Heng summoned Yuan Ang again. Although Liu Qi has woken up and the poison on his body has largely disappeared, there are still many unsolved questions about this matter.
"Yuan Aiqing, even the imperial doctors are helpless against that poison, why did you get the antidote?"
In order to allow himself to show his strength in the court and not be stumped by the past, Yuan Ang had already informed Liu Heng of the fact that he had been a retainer of the Lu family in advance. Liu Heng is a wise man, so he naturally doesn't care much about this, and accepts him without much effort.
At this time, Yuan Ang could tell the truth: "Your Majesty, this poison in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is called a hundred gels, which was used by the Lu family in the past, and only the Lu family can know its antidote. The minister was only under the Lu family before, and he had been exposed to this poison, so he was able to save His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Liu Heng's expression became solemn: "The poison unique to the Lu clan? ”
"Yes, the minister suspects that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is poisoned, and it must have nothing to do with the Lu family."
"Qi'er was poisoned because she was scratched by a cat, and the cat had this poison hidden on its paws." Liu Heng sorted out the whole thing, and then called Wu Ping, "You go and bring the cat." ”
"Your Majesty, you forgot, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was scratched, and in your anger, you have ordered someone to kill the cat."
Liu Heng was surprised for a moment, he had never given the order to kill the cat.
"When did I give the order, and to whom did I give the order?"
Wu Ping saw Liu Heng's angry face, and quickly knelt down and replied truthfully: "It's Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen said that the emperor must be angry when he saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was scratched by a cat and poisoned, so he asked the minions to kill the cat." ”
Liu Heng thought about it carefully in his heart, but he calmed down, and nodded: "Since that's the case, that's it." Wu Ping, you go and find out where the cat used to go often, and then come back and report to me in 1510. ”
"No." Wu Ping wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and trotted out.
After Liu Qi woke up, the harem was calm for a while, but Liu Heng still didn't lift the grounding of Yifang. He still dotes on Mrs. Shen, and seems to have forgotten that there is such a person as Yifang in the harem. Originally, according to the rules, the queen had to deal with many affairs in the harem, but there were few people in Liu Heng's harem, and there were not too many things to deal with, and there were not many things for the queen to do.
It's just that since it's in the palace, this day will never be peaceful forever. Yifang has not been able to go out of the palace to see Liu Qi these days, and he has been thinking about it in his heart, but the more he goes on, the more he feels that the children are safe, and he doesn't have to see them.
These days, as usual, I bask in the sun in the yard when I am idle. But after the afternoon, there was a little palace maid who was sprinkled by the palace wall and hurriedly ran over, as if she heard something outside.
"The queen mother is not good, Princess Guantao has an accident!" The little palace maid shouted loudly, and almost the entire courtyard could hear it, and Teng Ling and Zili also gathered.
"What's wrong? If you have something to say slowly, what happened to Princess Guantao? The string in Yifang's heart was hooked up again all of a sudden, and now it hasn't been long since Liu Qi's accident, and she really doesn't want to hear any bad news about the children.
"The slave maid was just cleaning over there, and suddenly I heard some palace maids talking outside, saying that Princess Guantao fell and injured her leg when flying a kite, and the imperial doctor said that she needed bed rest for a month or two to get better!"
"So serious? Why did you tell Hongu now? Yifang was shocked again.
"Niangniang, the slave maid also heard it just now, no one in our palace can go out, so naturally I don't know the news outside." The little palace maid paused for a moment, and then said the next words, "Queen Mother, the slave maid also heard those palace maids talking just now, saying that the place where Princess Guantao flew the kite was poured with oil, so it was more slippery than usual, and the princess would fall." ”
"Are you saying that Guantao didn't hurt herself, but someone went to hurt her?" Yi Fang's brows tightened even more.
The little palace maid couldn't make up her mind rashly: "Niangniang, the slave maid just listened to what the people outside said, and I don't know if it's true or not, but I just think that this matter is related to Princess Guantao, so I came to report it to Niangniang." ”
"Okay, Bengong knows, you go down first!" Yi Fang knew that she couldn't ask the little palace maid anything, so she waved her hand and asked her to retreat.
"Niangniang, the place where the princess often flies kites seems to be near the Huanning Palace." Zili reminded.
"This palace knows that there is no one else to suspect in this matter except for Mrs. Shen." Yifang has already made up his mind to be the one to do this.
Once upon a time, this harem was very stable, everyone lived their own lives, and no one wanted to make waves. Those concubines who have been following him since Liu Heng became the acting king are all docile people and will not give birth to anything. And since Mrs. Shen entered the palace, things have happened one after another, especially for the two children. Yifang had to suspect that this Mrs. Shen had been planning for a long time, and relying on Liu Heng's favor, she wanted to set off a storm in the harem.
And judging from the current few things, Liu Heng has indeed been pampering her. Yifang almost endured it again and again, but it only brought the children to be injured again and again.
"Tengling, you ......" Yifang was just about to speak, and Tengling took the conversation.
"Niangniang, the slave maid knows, the slave maid will go out to see Princess Guantao tonight."
"Thank you." Yifang is really glad to have Tengling and Zili by his side, and every time something happens, they always help out. In the past, there were also personal servants of other concubines, and as soon as the master was in trouble, he ran faster than anyone else, but these two people around him never gave up, and she was deeply grateful for this.
"What did the mother say! The slave maid has always been loved by the mother, and the slave and maid feel happy to do things for the mother. ”
Zili also nodded, and the hands of the three of them were tightly clasped together. It was like this in the past, and it is still like this now, even if Liu Heng's love is fleeting, and with them by his side, Yifang feels that it is also a kind of happiness.
Liu's situation is indeed not optimistic, that piece of land is what she often goes to play, and nothing has happened on weekdays, so she doesn't pay attention to her feet. Who knew that that day, he suddenly slipped under his feet, fell, and fell directly on the rock. Fortunately, the sharp stone only poked the leg, and did not hurt the vital point, which can be regarded as a fluke.
"Niangniang, although the princess is not lightly injured, but fortunately, the person is still awake, and the doctor said that she can get better after resting for a while, and Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much." Tengling finally brought back a piece of good news that was not good news.
Yifang didn't have a smile on his face, but his sorrow was still alleviated a lot: "The two children in this palace are also miserable, and they are hard to come to the world, and they are born in the emperor's family, and they have to suffer such a crime, it's really ...... ...... vomit"
Yifang felt sorry for the two children, and suddenly his chest swelled, and he couldn't stop retching twice.
"What's wrong with the mother?" Teng Ling was shocked, for fear that Yifang would be stuffy these days and would get sick.
"I suddenly want to throw up." Yifang covered his stomach, but he didn't eat anything at night, so he shouldn't be uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Zili stepped forward: "I'll take the pulse for you!" Now that he is trapped in the palace and can't go out, it is also troublesome to ask for a doctor. ”
Yifang nodded, and stretched out his hand. Zili frowned at first, and then in disbelief, she repeated the diagnosis several times before she raised her head and looked at Yifang incredulously.
"Mother, you ...... Bun in the oven. ”
"Really? That's great! Teng Ling was first excited, if she was pregnant at this time, she would be able to lift the grounding, and the entire Jiaofang Hall would no longer be so stuffy. Yifang can also take this opportunity to go out and accompany the prince and princess.
But Zili was worried: "But...... The emperor has not been to the Jiaofang Palace once these days. ”
Yi Fang shook his head: "The emperor came up, and the night he woke up when he came back from being injured outside the palace in this palace. It's just that the emperor came quietly and didn't alarm anyone, and left quietly the next morning. ”
"That's the problem." Zili sighed, "Since the emperor didn't alarm anyone, he will definitely not keep the file." Niangniang is pregnant at this time, only the emperor knows the real situation, and the other palace people must have a meeting. ”
"It's okay, you go and tell the emperor about this! Even if it will cause criticism in the palace, this is the emperor's flesh and blood, and he won't care. Now Yifang would never think that Liu Heng still cared about her, but she felt that he would definitely care about this child, after all, this was his bloodline, and he was the descendant of the royal family.
"Okay, slave and maid, let's go." Tengling almost cried with joy.
Yifang nodded, and then instructed: "Remember, be quiet." ”
At night, Teng Ling still repeated his old trick and climbed over the palace wall. Maybe the emperor will punish her in the future, but she feels that it doesn't matter, as long as she can lift the grounding of Yifang, she is willing to do anything.
She trotted all the way down the palace road, full of joy. She thought that after the emperor heard the news for a while, he would be very happy, and maybe he would love Yifang again, at least he would not always favor Mrs. Shen.
But when she arrived at Weiyang Palace and reported the matter to Liu Heng happily, he didn't react much, and even didn't think so.
"Wu Ping, find a doctor to show the queen." Liu Heng didn't put down the recital in his hand, he only explained coldly, and he didn't say that he wanted to lift the grounding of Jiaofang Palace.
"No." Wu Ping replied and gave Teng Ling another look.
Teng Ling understood what he meant, Liu Heng was busy with political affairs, so she asked her not to bother more. But Teng Ling was really unwilling, so he said again: "Your Majesty, the queen is really pregnant, won't the emperor go over to accompany the mother?" ”
"Isn't it the first time she's given birth to a child, and she needs to make such a fuss?"
