Chapter 181: Seeing Red
Jiaqi threw herself on her knees and shouted, the shouting was extremely terrible, breaking the silence of the night, but it scared Hua Ying into a cleverness.
Fortunately, the emperor was not easily frightened, and hugged Hua Ying behind him, a pair of sword eyebrows wrinkled into Sichuan characters, obviously ruined by Jiaqi's actions, and it was very benevolent if he didn't let people take it immediately: "Who are you?" What's the point of yelling?"
The light of the lantern was reflected on Jiaqi's face, which also made her panicked expression unobstructed, Hua Ying saw that she was familiar, and said, "Don't worry, the emperor, this palace maid looks familiar, it seems to be ...... The people of Xianfu Palace?"
"Disturb the emperor and Concubine Yun, the slave and maid deserve death, but the slave and maid really have something important to tell the emperor, the slave maid was from Xianfu Palace before, and then followed Ning Guiren to Zhaoyang Palace, Ning Guiren was pregnant with a dragon fetus before, and planned to tell the emperor after March, but who knew that there was an accident today, the little master was already red, and asked the emperor to go to Zhaoyang Palace to see Ning Guiren quickly."
"Ning Guiren is pregnant?" Hua Ying was also pure surprise, this silent child was going to be lost, did she really want to wait for the fetus to be stable and then tell the emperor or did she have other plans? Anyway, it is indeed a big deal: "Your Majesty, let's go to Zhaoyang Palace to have a look, it is about the emperor's heir, and it is reasonable that this palace maid is in a hurry." ”
"That's it, set up in Zhaoyang Palace." The emperor was not in the mood to punish another palace maid, so he just threw up his sleeves and left: "Li Quan, go and inform the Queen Mother and the Queen, the Queen Mother is not in good health, don't go to Zhaoyang Palace, by the way, let the Queen warn the palaces, once you are pregnant, tell me, I will not harm them!"
This is also why Hua Ying will be the first to notify the emperor when she is pregnant, and ask the emperor to help keep the secret, after all, the emperor doesn't like the harem concubines to hide it from him, which will also make the emperor feel that he is the one who is concealed and distrusted.
I couldn't hear a sound in the inner room in the side hall of Zhaoyang Palace, and I didn't know what the situation was, the concubines outside were so anxious that they walked back and forth, it seemed that they were extremely worried, Hua Ying and the emperor were not too late, only the queen and the concubines who were closer arrived.
"What the hell is going on, since no one knows that Ning Guiren is pregnant, then Ning Guiren has an accident?" The Emperor had just taken his seat, surveying the crowd present.
"If you go back to the emperor, the imperial doctor is still inside, the specific situation of the child, the concubine and others are not clear, at the time of the incident, Ning Guiren suddenly felt uncomfortable after dinner, I thought I had eaten the wrong thing, but the abdominal pain was unbearable, and the lower body was red again, so I hurriedly called the imperial doctor, and then Ning Guiren's personal palace maid Jiaqi went to invite the emperor, as for those meals, there are also imperial doctors in the inspection, according to what Ning Guiren palace maid said, in addition to the personal palace maid and a imperial doctor, only one person may know that Ning Guiren is pregnant, and it is unlikely that he will be killed." In the same way, if he was really killed, then the spearhead would be all pointed at the only person who knew that Ning Guiren was pregnant.
"Who might know that Ning Guiren is pregnant with a dragon heir?" The emperor understood this truth and immediately asked.
The queen glanced at Concubine Xuan, and then said affirmatively: "According to the narration of the two personal palace maids, Ning Guiren only heard that she went to see Concubine Xuan on the first day of pregnancy, but Ning Guiren did not let the palace maid enter the inner hall, so they didn't know what they said. ”
"Concubine Xuan, what did you tell you that day, do you know that Ning Guiren is pregnant?"
Although Concubine Xuan felt that she might be suspected of poisoning Ning Guiren now, she was more aware of the self-purification of the pure in her heart, so she knelt down and said calmly: "Back to the emperor and the queen's mother, the concubine does know that Ning Guiren is pregnant, and Ning Guiren is timid, afraid that she is pregnant and someone will assassinate her, so she plans to wait for the fetal image to stabilize and then tell the emperor and the queen's mother, and tell the concubine that it is only because she is good with the concubine, so she happily came to the main hall of the concubine that day." ”
The emperor also knew that Concubine Xuan was a noble master, and the emperor still didn't have too much suspicion about Concubine Xuan at this time: "Get up and sit down, so, just wait for the news inside." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After a while, the imperial doctor came out, facing all kinds of eyes, the imperial doctor was also experienced, and he directly said the problem they were most concerned about: "Ning Guiren's child has been saved, but this mother has eaten something that should not be eaten, and the fetus is extremely weak, but it needs to be well recuperated in order to give birth to the child safely." ”
Hearing that the child was still there, a trace of disappointment flashed in the queen's eyes: "Is there a problem with Ning Guiren's dinner?" She didn't tell Honggong about her pregnancy, and Honggong naturally didn't arrange for the imperial dining room to prepare suitable food for pregnant women, but for this reason?"
Weichen believes that this matter is not just an accident, because there is a longan soup in Ning Guiren's dinner, and hawthorn cake was also found on her table, after pregnancy, yin blood is deficient, and yin deficiency breeds internal heat, so pregnant women eat longan and hawthorn and other things, not only can not protect the fetus, but are prone to red leakage, abdominal pain and other symptoms, more likely to cause slippery tires, Weichen also asked Ning Guiren's personal palace maid, said that this hawthorn cake Ning Guiren has been taken several times after pregnancy, and it is natural for such a situation to occur, It's just that these foods are harmful to the body of pregnant women, and such frequent appearances are not a coincidence that Weichen thinks. ”
"You mean, someone knew that Ning Guiren was pregnant, so he deliberately said that these things were given to Ning Guiren?"
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, he listened to the Hunan nobles who were not too big to say: "Isn't it only Concubine Xuan Niangniang who knows that Ning Guiren is pregnant, so these harmful things are also given to Ning Guiren by Concubine Xuan?"
Concubine Xuan didn't seem to expect this to be the case, and suddenly remembered what Ning Guiren had said a few days ago, and her heart was extremely flustered: "...... The minister, the concubine doesn't know, the concubine has not harmed the nobles......"
"If you haven't harmed, you haven't harmed, what kind of stumbling is Concubine Xuan's mother, won't you really let the concubine guess correctly, right?" Xiang Guiren said suspiciously, she didn't know that Concubine Xuan hated harem fighting, and she was usually ridiculed by others either to go back to the past bluntly, or to be too lazy to take care of it, and she had never been involved in such a thing in the past few years, is it all disguise?
“…… No, the concubine never thought of harming the nobles, and the concubine was innocent. "I am afraid that Concubine Xuan is getting darker and darker, and her panicked actions have also attracted the attention of the emperor and empress.
"Concubine Xuan, if you have any hidden secrets, you might as well say it directly, I and the queen are here, and I won't wronged you." The emperor knew and could feel Concubine Xuan's love for him, so his tone was extremely soft, and he didn't show suspicion about Concubine Xuan, but in fact, there were already signs in his heart.
Concubine Xuan hesitated for a long time, and did not say why, just when the emperor lost patience and did not plan to start with her, Ning Guiren woke up, so the emperor and everyone rushed into the inner room to visit Ning Guiren, and Hua Ying was no exception.
Ning Guiren heard that his child was still there, and spit out a breath of turbidity, but tears came quickly: "Your Majesty...... Please forgive the emperor for being confused for not telling the emperor that the concubine was pregnant in time, it was really a cowardly concubine, but even so, the concubine was still plotted......"
"It's okay, I can understand you, it's just that your fetus is extremely unstable, you must take care of it, don't have any more accidents." When the emperor saw Ning Guiren's appearance, most of his previous blame disappeared, and he heard her say that he was plotted by someone, so he said: "You also said that you yourself were plotted by someone, the hawthorn cake and today's longan soup, do you know where they came from?"
Ning Guiren first glanced at Concubine Xuan timidly, then shook his head and said, "The concubine doesn't know, the concubine is just ...... I just happened to eat these things......"
Looking at Ning Guiren's white lotus-like appearance, Yu Guiren almost vomited out today's dinner, if it weren't for Concubine Jing pulling her, saying that all the concubines in the palace came to visit, but if she didn't come, she would be speculated by the villain, she would have been playing origami in her palace now: "Ning Guiren has something to say, always looking at others with such eyes, and it will cause trouble to others, the emperor and the queen are here, can you still wronged Ning Guiren?"
"Don't embarrass the nobles Yu Guiren, let's talk about the concubines......"
Concubine Xuan seemed to have made up her mind, but as soon as her words began, she was hit by Ning Guiren's words like five thunders: "It's Sister Xuan!"
Concubine Xuan's whole body suddenly stiffened, her expression was full of disbelief, her eyes were shocked, and then she seemed to think of something, looking at Ning Guiren's eyes gradually evolved into disappointment and despair, and Ning Guiren only glanced at it and opened her eyes, looking at the emperor with tears in her eyes, although after this series of eyes, the actual time was only a few seconds, and the others also looked at Concubine Xuan suspiciously.
Ning Guiren knew that this was his only chance, and he definitely had to seize the opportunity, so he cheered up and said: "When the concubine was just pregnant, she only told Sister Xuan, and Sister Xuan was happy to bless me, and the concubine really stupidly believed Sister Xuan, even if Sister Xuan said that pregnant women like to eat sour, it is good for children, and then sent hawthorn cakes, and the concubines did not live up to Sister Xuan's wishes, and ate them all. It was also Sister Xuan who sent Yinlan by her side, if the emperor didn't believe it, just go and check ........." and pretended to be weak.
The emperor took a deep look at Concubine Xuan and said, "Concubine Xuan, do you have anything you want to explain?"
"The emperor's ......" Concubine Xuan listened to Ning Guiren's words, like an abandoned pet, she didn't look like a concubine for the first time, but sat on the ground: "If the concubine said, everything was planned by Ning Guiren, does the emperor believe it?"
