Volume 1 Harem Tricks Chapter 14 Thunder
Da Yue country, Yongshun nineteen years, summer solstice.
The sound of thunderstorm accompanied by noisy footsteps made Qiao Ruoli, who was already shallow sleep, feel even more bored, after taking two deep breaths, Qiao Ruoli picked up the handkerchief next to the bed and gently wiped his sticky body, although he was separated from the poor family in his life, but this year's weather is abnormally hot, today is the third day of continuous rain, and the hot and stuffy weather makes Qiao Ruoli can't help but miss modern air conditioning, which can not only dehumidify but also refrigerate.
And now he can only be divided into a few pitiful ice cubes to live, Qiao Ruoli only felt full of irritability, and suddenly a cold hand reached into Qiao Ruoli's quilt, which scared Qiao Ruoli a clever.
"Ruoli, how can the thunder be so loud today, I, I'm a little scared." It turned out that Lin Xi'er was coming, and her moist eyes in the dark made Qiao Ruoli tired of it, but she couldn't bear to push it away.
"You have been in the palace for so many years, why haven't you grown at all, and just a little thunder scared you like this." Qiao Ruoli sighed, but still made some room for Lin Xi'er to come out.
"Today, I was dragged by Fengxian and a few of them to Chaoning Palace to help, the pure concubine Niangniang has been giving birth for a day, this child still can't get down, the blood is poured out one by one, looking, watching, looking at it is really terrifying." Xi'er's voice trembled a little, especially when it was accompanied by thunder, to the point of being a little terrifying.
But Qiao Ruoli didn't think that dystocia was normal in ancient times, and he was used to seeing birth, old age, sickness and death in modern times, especially now that he himself has passed through the ghost gate twice.
And in modern times, in fact, it is the same, many people think that technology is developing, and there is nothing terrible about having children, but she has also seen many women and children give birth well, but they have not survived postpartum hemorrhage.
"Don't be afraid, the imperial doctor in the palace is not a vegetarian, and he will always think of a way." Qiao Ruoli said comfortingly, but as soon as the words fell, he remembered a knock outside the door.
Qiao Ruoli sighed, got up neatly, put on a coat and opened the door, and the person who came was Aunt Yang Xiu, who lived in the east wing.
"Aunt Yangxiu is so late, why are you here?" Qiao Ruoli said while holding an oil lamp.
"Your aunt is still asleep, hurry up and wake up, Concubine Chun died in childbirth, and even took the little prince with her. The whole palace was in chaos, His Majesty was so angry, and all the people serving in Chaoning Palace were killed with rods. "The faint light and the lightning outside, the face of the show became more and more gloomy.
"Cane to death? Why didn't you make any noise? Qiao Ruoli only felt a little surprised, after all, the current Emperor Changzhi is an emperor known for his benevolence and filial piety, and he really shouldn't have done such a big punishment, and there are hundreds of people serving in Chaoning Palace, so why cane not even a little movement.
"It's all gagged and executed, and it's time for you to hear the thunder today, but now the palace people outside are busy transporting the corpses, hurry up and call your Aunt Xiran up, there's still a lot of work over there." Yang Xiu said hurriedly.
"Aunt Xiran has not been feeling well these days, and she has taken leave from the Internal Government Bureau, so aunt don't worry, I'll call it." Qiao Ruoli hurriedly went back to the house and planned to tell Aunt Xiran to get up, but Xiran had already come out with her clothes on.
"No need, you go back to the house and sleep, I'll go out with Yang Xiu to have a look." Xi Ran said while tying the buckles on his clothes.
"Let's go together, I guess the Shanggong Bureau should also give an order, and they have to go together." Yang Xiu said.
"They haven't been officially assigned their duties yet, so they're going to go." Aunt Xiran was a little curious.
In fact, it stands to reason that palace maids will be assigned positions after entering the palace, but the first-class palace maids are still a little different, they will generally study in a unified manner, be selected, and will be assigned to a better place when they are thirteen years old, so although Qiao Ruoli and others have been in the palace for many years, they have not arranged any positions, but only occasionally help their upbringing aunt do some things, and then go to the Shanggong Bureau to learn crafts and rules.
"Chaoning Palaceγγγγγγ More than 100 people in Chaoning Palace were all killed by the rod, and even the current imperial physician Ling Zhang was also killed, and the whole Chaoning Palace was almost soaked in blood. The manpower in this palace was transferred half because His Majesty was going to Qianning Garden to escape the summer, and it was not enough. Yang Xiu babbled.
Qiao Ruoli only remembered the events of the previous life at this time, it was also such a heavy rain back then, there was a big incident in the palace, and his father was also called into the palace overnight, and the next day he heard that the palace had met an assassin, and the pure concubine Niangniang went with the little prince in her belly, but she didn't expect to know such an inside story now.
Xi'er listened and leaned against the door, her legs and stomach trembled, and she asked Xiang Xiran with a crying voice: "Auntie, we, are we really going to go, I'm afraid..."
"You stay in the house, if you go with me." Xi Ran looked at Xi'er's appearance of not being able to carry it, sighed, and still couldn't bear to take her out, otherwise she would inevitably be scared out of this battle.
After saying that, the group hurriedly passed over in their robes, and Qiao Ruoli was really startled after he arrived, the corpse in Chaoning Palace had already been transported out, but the blood on the ground also made Qiao Ruoli, a person who had been on the battlefield, startled.
Sure enough, for the Heavenly Family, people like them are just grass.
However, Qiao Ruoli and the others didn't help much, they just registered the deceased palace people, counted their beds and relics, and then helped to count the objects in Chaoning Palace.
It's just that the day is bright after being busy, seeing that Chaoning Palace was locked, Qiao Ruoli only felt a little sad, such a kind person as Concubine Chun actually ended up like this, and I still remember the candied fruits and pastries she rewarded last year, which were the best things Qiao Ruoli had eaten since entering the palace.
If... If she was here and used her medical skills, maybe she wouldn't have died. For the first time, Qiao Ruoli felt that the decision he made was wrong, but if he was there, could the method of opening his stomach really be accepted in this era?
"Scared?" Xi Ran saw that Qiao Ruoli was a little stunned, and asked.
"Don't be afraid, just sigh ......" Qiao Ruoli didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Aunt Xiran.
"You must be cautious in what you say in the palace, I know what you have to say, but today's matter, whether it is a pure concubine or those palace people, it will become a taboo and can never be discussed." Xi Ran opened her mouth to speak, but her eyes didn't look at her, because she knew that Qiao Ruoli was a smart person and would definitely be able to see the problem inside.
Yes, even if the pure concubine Niangniang has two lives, but the palace people in the palace have not made any big mistakes in the end, how could they be slaughtered overnight, and they will be killed with a rod.
It's just a wake-up call to some people who know the truth and tell them to keep their mouths shut. Concubine Chun's death is certainly not that simple, but this can only become a permanent secret.
