Chapter 42 Slippery Tire
"Little ancestor, the old slave is looking around, so you are here!" The old lady staggered over, saw Cai Ling, and hurriedly said, "The old slave knocked on the concubine." "Bow as you go.
"Get up." Cai Ling pretended to be serious, "You can't be careless in the future, and you can't be sloppy in serving the prince." ”
"The old slave remembers the teachings of the concubine." Mama glanced down at the eldest prince and breathed a sigh of relief.
"No wonder Mama." The eldest prince grabbed Cai Ling's arm and explained, "It was the palace maid of Changle Hall who brought me here, and said that Sister Ling was waiting for me here, but I couldn't find her no matter how I looked for her." ”
Cai Ling frowned, "Your sister Ling will go back to the palace first, you can also go back with your grandmother, don't let the concubine worry." “
"Ke'er knows." The eldest prince took Mama's hand and walked a few steps forward, then turned his head to look at her, she endured the cramping pain in her abdomen, and smiled slightly, and the eldest prince left with a bitter face.
No matter whose trick it was, she couldn't let it succeed. This fetus was already unstable in the womb, and I thought that if I couldn't keep it with medicine, I wouldn't try my best anymore, after all, everything has a destiny, but I don't know that there are still people who calculate this unformed fetus.
Passing through the bustling Imperial Garden, passing by the gate of the Showa Palace, which had already been depressed, and walking dozens of steps, she saw that the gilt plaque on the red background of Cuiwei Palace was high above her head, she wanted to raise her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, but she no longer had the strength.
Staring at the two hidden palace doors, her thoughts were scattered, as if the door was pushed open, it was that evening, Shen Muchi took her to see Xuan Niangniang, she was so unprepared that she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do, Xuan Niangniang's smile was as warm as the spring breeze in April: "Could this be the fourth girl of the Jiang family?" ”
In the summer of the eighteenth year, the holy decree of marriage had just been received, she was still the young master of Dongxi Building, the only lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, shaking a jade folding fan, walking on the bustling streets of Chang'an, seeing a rich family's concubines fighting on the street, He Yue leaned to his ear: "What's so good about marrying?" It's better to stay in the Dongxi Building and be chic. She walked out of the crowd and smiled confidently: "How could these jealous things happen to Ben Shao?" “
Now, in this bleak late autumn, the dark yellow leaves of the ginkgo biloba are slowly flying in the sky, and she no longer has the strength to stand up straight, only lying on the fallen leaves.
About a stick of incense passed, the eunuch of the other palace walked by here, and saw the person curled up and lying on the ground from a distance, and was frightened, and hurriedly ran over to check the situation. Cai Ling said with the little strength he had left: "The Taiyi Bureau ......"
She just wanted to say: Lord Yu of the Taiyi Bureau. But where is Lord Yu?
The only person under the world who could save her and the child in her womb is now gone.
In this deep court, she was not afraid to dissect the dead, just because there was always him by her side, he lived opposite her room, and there was always a faint oil lamp at night, and when she could not sleep, she could open the window and see the silhouette of him reading in the light.
"Come on!" The palace ladies exclaimed, "The lady fainted." ”
It had been two days since she woke up again, only to feel that the pain in her lower abdomen was still relieved, but it was relieved a lot, and her heart was a little calmer, and after a while, she noticed that there was still blood flowing out between her legs, and her heart rose to her throat and opened her mouth.
"Senior sister. Oh, no. Lady Niangniang. Zhiyun, who was sitting on a small stool next to the bed, woke up and stared at a pair of round eyes, "You finally woke up." ”
"Weaving clouds." Cai Ling used a lot of strength, but her voice was like a gnat, "How is the child?" ”
Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and after a while, he had already collected his tears, and said in a low voice: "The power of the slippery pill taken by Niangniang is too strong, not to mention that the little prince was not saved, and almost took Niangniang's life. ”
Two lines of tears slipped silently on the pillow, and she endured her heartache and asked, "Slippery pills?" ”
Zhiyun saw that although she had tears in her eyes, there were not many waves on her calm face, so she recounted the events of that night as they lived.
"When Niangniang fainted, His Majesty was still in the palace of King Qin, and after hearing the news, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Rides rode back to the palace on a starry night......"
"Needless to say." Reminder of Lingling.
"That night, the doctors and adults jointly consulted and determined that the child could not be saved. His Majesty squatted on the edge of the bed, holding Niangniang's hand, and only said that if Niangniang has three longs and two shorts, the entire Taiyi Bureau will not be able to get rid of it. ”
"At this time, the female official of Cuiwei Palace, Lu Wu, and several other palace maids stepped forward to explain, saying that it had nothing to do with the Taiyi Bureau, and it was Niangniang that insisted on drinking the medicine of the slippery fetus."
Cai Ling smiled coldly, it turned out that those people were not only calculating the eldest prince, but she was the one who was played with in their hands: "Your Majesty believes it?" ”
Zhiyun shook his head: "The people of Cuiwei Palace took out the remaining medicinal residues, and after discussing with several imperial physicians and ministers, they determined that they contained safflower, musk, Shengchuan Wu, etc. Senior Brother Han knelt down in front of His Majesty, crying and saying that these medicinal materials were all sent by Niangniang, and he had always known that Niangniang was good at making medicines for women, so he didn't dare to ask more, let alone disobey. Your Majesty was furious......"
Cai Ling sighed imperceptibly, "Where is the Korean doctor now?" ”
"Dali Temple Heavenly Prison." Zhiyun had palpitations, "Lu Wu and the rest of the palace maids were handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for disposal and thrown out of the palace." ”
"Hmm......" Cai Ling closed her eyes.
Although Weichen does not have a deep relationship with Niangniang, he firmly believes that Niangniang is not a person who ruthlessly kills his own flesh and blood. Although I knew that this matter could not be publicized, I still wanted to tell my mother in 1510. The people in the deep palace are unpredictable, not as good as in the Taiyi Bureau. Zhiyun suddenly remembered something, "Master is in Yong'an, and he will return to the palace in a few days." “
"His Majesty summoned him to the palace?" Cai Ling frowned and asked. You can stay out of it, don't step into the quagmire again!
"When the master was leaving, he told Weichen that he must pay more attention to Niangniang. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Weichen noticed that Senior Brother Han was wrong, so he followed him a few alleys, and left after seeing him whispering with Luwu. Weichen didn't know why, so he sent a letter to the master. I received a reply this morning, calculated the drive, and in three days, the person will be there. ”
"Don't you want to see Master? Did Wechen do something wrong? "Weaving clouds snort.
"Not really." Cai Ling smiled slightly, "Thank you." Sister. ”
Zhiyun said to go and invite the imperial doctor, and Yude's voice came from outside the hall: "The emperor has arrived in ......"
A strange palace maid hurriedly came to help, and said softly: "Niangniang, the slave maid will help you sit up and take over." ”
She waved her hand and rejected the palace maid, still lying flat on the top of the lotus-colored curtain with her eyes staring at.
The emperor stood beside the bed, looking at her condescendingly, she finally mustered up the courage and turned her head to look at him, but she only saw his haggard face, and his slightly sunken eyes were so hollow that there was no trace of brilliance.
His eyes moved slightly, and he saw Concubine Liangxian standing behind the emperor, who was also haggard, staring at her with a smile in her eyes. The female official beside Concubine Xian said: "Concubine Niangniang is really a Jiren with her own natural appearance, and it is not in vain that you knelt outside the Fengxian Hall all night yesterday to pray for Niangniang." ”
"Sister Lady. Don't be too sad and angry, you and Your Majesty are both young, and there are still many opportunities in the future. Concubine Liangxian squatted beside Cai Ling's bed and held her hand, tears fell from her eyes, and even fell on the back of her hand.
This is, the imperial doctor came to check the pulse, and everyone dispersed one after another.
His Majesty sat on the edge of the bed, as if to say to himself: "I know that you don't love me, but I still hope that you will love your child." It seems that I was wrong. “
People came and went in Cuiwei Palace, but she only felt irritable, her eyes were slightly closed, and she couldn't shed a single tear anymore.
The next morning, the Imperial Medical Bureau sent someone to follow up the consultation, and Zhiyun still tied a red silk thread to her wrist, and she was still lying on the bed as if she had no soul at their mercy.
". It turned out that it was only a day and a night from Yongan to the palace. Zhiyun glanced up at the screen.
Cai Ling turned her head sideways, and through the peach blossoms on the screen, she saw the thin figure sitting outside the peach blossoms. Cai Ling called the palace maid and said that she wanted to see a little sun, so she went to remove the screen.
Close at hand, looking at each other, she saw that he was full of wind and frost, and he saw that she was sick and broken.
In the past, he lived in seclusion in the valley, splashing light ink with the landscape map praised by the people of the world, fishing alone in the river, and the cold plum in the branches.
In the past, she was in the red dust, holding a folding fan, lying drunk and not knowing the twilight, chatting and not asking about political affairs, and being rich compared to the country.
But now, they have all become this shell of a soul that does not possess the body.
"Master." She finally spoke, without a trace of blood on her pale face, and her breath was weak, "You're coming back to save me." You know I don't want to die yet, do you? ”
The other party was silent. Cai Ling smiled slightly, "Actually, I thought about it, I was born in Zhong Mingding's family in this life, I didn't lack anything since I was a child, and later I made a lot of money in business, and I almost married King Qin as a concubine, and now I am even more expensive as a concubine, in fact, I have got enough." If God wants to take me away at this time, there is nothing to be nostalgic for, just to start over in the next life. ”
After taking a deep look at the silent person opposite, Cai Ling persuaded, "Master, leave me alone." Let's get out of the palace. ”
At this time, Yu Moyan suddenly stood up, strode up to her, sat on the edge of the bed regardless of etiquette, and leaned over to her ear: "Don't be afraid. I have my own way. ”
"I'm not afraid. Even if it is death, I am no longer afraid. Cai Ling looked into his determined eyes with a wry smile.
"Then live well." He admonished in a resolute tone.
"Hmph......" Cai Ling smiled bitterly, "What can you do while alive?" It's nothing more than being locked up in this quaartet of Miyagi, is it worth it to intrigue for a man? ”
"If I say that the child you slipped away was not precarious, but was victimized by an adulterer, it would be a reason for you to live. Musk burns in the palace all day long, and you don't even notice it. The first bowl of 'tocolytic pills' that Xiao Han gave you was a slippery pill, and you didn't even know it. What I handed over to you before has been in vain. ”
"Master." After knowing that she was pregnant, although she was very happy, she was disturbed by everything, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to her diet and daily life.
In an instant, the tears that had been held back for a long time fell one by one and slipped into the corners of his eyes, and he didn't think about it, and hugged them in his arms.
After a while, the voice of the palace maid sounded: "Knock on Your Majesty......"
