Chapter 43: Failure
Shao Feixu withdrew from everyone and thought alone for a day, guessing who was going to target Fang Huanshan? made Fang Yushan hemorrhage after giving birth, causing her accidental death, so that the newborn child was without a mother; The emperor is bound to find a suitable adoptive mother for him, the emperor will not pass the child to the queen who was born in the Feng family, the four concubines have their own children, and Concubine Zhuang is still too young...... The next most suitable one is Shen Xiaoxiang! Don't...... All this is Shen Xiaoxiang's masterpiece? It's fake to be good friends with Fang Huanshan, but it's true to seek the son in her womb! What a vicious scheming! In this way, Shen Xiaoxiang arranged the painstaking efforts to get rid of Huanyue before, and it turned out to be a foreshadowing for this moment, I have to say that Shen Xiaoxiang was so careful and set up such a careful bureau. If you can't give birth to a child yourself, you have to rob other people's children to raise, and even kill the child's biological mother, it's really unscrupulous to compete for favor!
Shao Feixu was a little embarrassed for a while, should she tell Fang Huanshan about this? Or report to the emperor and the queen for treating Shen Xiaoxiang with a capital crime? After thinking about it, she felt that it was not good, she said that there was no evidence, and no one would believe her if she couldn't come up with evidence, and when Shen Xiaoxiang bit back, she would not be able to wash it even if she jumped into the Yellow River. This alone can't bring down Shen Xiaoxiang, and she has to slowly figure it out to bring down Shen Xiaoxiang, but she can follow Shen Xiaoxiang's wishes, except for Fang Huanshan, a girl who has no one in her eyes. However, Shao Feixu naturally wouldn't let Shen Xiaoxiang get Fang Yushan's child, wouldn't that make her too proud? Shao Feixu smiled ruthlessly and muttered: "Fang Yushan, don't blame me for being ruthless, if you want to blame your own bad life, this account is still counted on your 'good sister' Shen Xiaoxiang." ”
Early the next morning, Furong mixed into the team of the internal affairs government to go out of the palace to buy, and went out of the palace with her, and when she returned to the palace in the evening, she brought back a few things. Shao Feixu was in a nervous mood all day, and when he saw Furong coming back, he couldn't wait to ask: "Did you get something?" ”
"Don't worry, little master, there are a lot of the same." Fleur unbuckled her belt and took out a few things from her underwear, including musk, castor beans, and cantharids, all of which were sharp weapons for hurting the fetus, and she never dared to go to the Tai Hospital to get them, so she could only sneak out of the palace to buy it.
"Without further ado, let's get our hands on it." Furong sent away all the palace people who were guarding outside the dormitory, closed the doors and windows of the dormitory, and the master and servant carefully mashed the medicines and put them into Shao Feixu's amulet bag. The reason why he wanted to replace Fang Huanshan's talisman with his own was because Shao Feixu wanted to leave Fang Huanshan as evidence to expose Shen Xiaoxiang in the future. Anyway, the difference between the two talismans is very small, and Fang Yushan's temperament will not pay attention to these at all, so he doesn't have to worry about being discovered at all.
Fang Huanshan's amulet is only filled with cantharid powder, although cantharids are very toxic, but if they are not directly taken orally, they will hardly damage the fetus, and according to Fang Huanshan himself, the fetus is obviously stronger after eating the prescription that is hidden in the fog, it can be seen that Shen Xiaoxiang is still very careful, afraid that in case cantharids affect the fetus, so that prescription is a real fetal tonic. Even nourishing the fetus to a larger size can ensure the health of the fetus, and secondly, it can also increase the risk of Fang Yushan's dystocia; Wu Yin must have added some special medicinal materials to the prescription, which can make Fang Yushan wear the talisman for a long time without causing allergies, which can be described as well-intentioned. But as the so-called magic is one foot high and one foot high, Shen Xiaoxiang can be far-sighted and step by step, and she Shao Feixu can also see the tricks and reverse the situation.
"These things really work when they come together, and they won't go wrong, right?" Shao Feixu is still a little worried about the effect of the medicine, if it doesn't work, it will be in vain, and the effect of the medicine is too strong, so that Fang Yushan will have an early attack, and it will be easy to expose himself.
The slave asked Langzhong, and the folk often had the method of taking slippery drugs and combining them with the poison to hurt the fetus and mash it into mud and stick it to the navel to abort the fetus, and the effect was very fast. Let's hang these poisons on the chest of Lan Guifei, which will not be effective quickly, but over time it will damage her fetus, and she will give birth to a deformed child at least and a stillborn baby at worst. Hearing Furong's explanation, Shao Feixu felt a lot more relieved. That's right, her purpose was to hurt Fang Huanshan's fetus, Shen Xiaoxiang wanted to sit back and enjoy it, so she tried to make Fang Huanshan give birth to a mentally retarded deformity, or simply be stillborn, just to watch Shen Xiaoxiang fall short!
After installing the amulet, Fleur asked again: "Little master, how can we return the amulet?" Send it over directly, I'm afraid that Concubine Lan will be suspicious. "How to return the amulet unknowingly is the crux of the matter. Shao Feixu thought for a while, Shen Xiaoxiang poisoned Fang Yushan and collapsed after giving birth, but in order to avoid suspicion, she went to the summer resort, so that Ming Cuixuan must have placed her people in order to destroy the evidence of the talisman afterwards. And now that the talisman has been lost, there is nothing more anxious than this undercover agent! Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea, and said to Furong: "Tomorrow, you prepare some gifts to go to Ming Cuixuan, and say that it is to thank Concubine Lan for sharing the good prescription." When I arrived in Mingcuixuan, I watched carefully, to see which palace maid's eyes were swept around, and it looked like she was looking for something, remember the appearance of this palace maid, and inquire about her name; Then, quietly drop the amulet near this palace maid, understand? "The talisman has been lost for several days, and the other palace people must have given up looking for it a long time ago, so as long as you pay attention, you can easily find this unique palace maid. Fleur nodded in realization.
The next day, Furong and Xiao Xiazi, the eunuch in charge of Qiutang Palace, went to Ming Cuixuan with gifts, and came out after sending things, and sure enough, they saw a looking figure on the edge of the flower bed in the front yard. Furong pulled Xiao Xiazi and asked him to quietly inquire about the details of the little palace maid, and she leaned next to the little palace maid to talk: "Is my sister looking for something?" ”
"Huh? Ah, no! My sister is a personal maid like a concubine, right? Why did you come to Ming Cui Xuan? The little palace maid hurriedly changed the topic.
"Oh, I was ordered by my master to send some supplements to Concubine Lan. My sister is busy, I'll go. "Furong can now be sure that this girl must be Shen Xiaoxiang's person, Ming Cuixuan has never had anything to do with Qiutang Palace, how can a little palace maid of a low rank know that she is Ru Concubine's close attendant? If she is Shen Xiaoxiang's person, it will be different, Shen Xiaoxiang and Shao Feixu have never been on the same page, and there is no one in Yilan Hall who does not know her and Shao Feixu, just like there is no one in Qiutang Palace who does not know Shen Xiaoxiang and Binghe. Fleur pretended to say goodbye to her as she quietly let the amulet in her sleeve slip into the flower bed.
As soon as Furong came out of the gate of Mingcuixuan, Xiaoxiazi, who was waiting for her at the door, greeted her and reported to Furong: "Furong girl, the slave just inquired, that palace maid is called Shuang Fall, she stayed in Yilan Hall for a period of time four years ago, and was soon sent to another place because of a mistake, and she was only transferred to Mingcuixuan last month, and Lan Guifei didn't let her go inside to serve, and she usually did some chores in the courtyard." "Have you ever been in the Yilan Palace? That's right. The two went back together to restore their lives, and Shao Feixu praised them for a good job and rewarded them with a lot of silver taels.
On the night of July twenty-two, Fang Huanshan began to have a seizure, and more than a dozen people from the imperial doctor, the medical woman, and the midwife went in and out of Mingcuixuan, and they were very busy. As expected, Fang Yushan had a difficult birth because the fetus was too big, and six hours have passed since the onset of the attack, and the sky has already dawned, and it will be a new day soon, but the child still does not want to come to the world so soon.
The news of Fang Yushan's production reached the summer resort as soon as July 23, Duan Yulin had no special emotions, and still handled government affairs step by step; Feng Wu, Li Jingxi and others still don't care much about the affairs of the other concubines; Xu Ying and Han Qianyu didn't want Fang Huanshan to give birth to a prince; And the most excited is Shen Xiaoxiang, today happens to be her twenty-fourth birthday, she will usher in a child who is about to belong to her on her birthday, what a wonderful coincidence, it makes people feel excited to think about it!
Since learning that Fang Yushan had given birth, Shen Xiaoxiang was in no mood to do anything, so he stood in front of the window blankly, looking in the direction of Yong'an City, waiting for the news that kept coming from the palace. Binghe brought a cup of herbal tea to Shen Xiaoxiang and said: "The news just now has not yet given birth, it should be a difficult birth, and I have been fed oxytocic medicine." The slave and maid congratulated the little master in advance. "When encountering dystocia during childbirth, once the use of oxytocic drugs causes a blood collapse, the possibility is greater, plus she has already ordered the frost to fall, once the child is born, take the opportunity to mix a little cantharid powder in the amulet bag into Fang Yushan's ginseng soup, which can ensure that the blood collapse is caused, and as long as the amulet is disposed of in time afterwards, it will be foolproof.
"Change the glass of fruit wine, this palace should indeed celebrate." Shen Xiaoxiang didn't know that she was happy too early, and she drank the celebratory wine too quickly.
It wasn't until the evening that the latest news reached the summer resort, and this time it was not the "good news" that Shen Xiaoxiang was looking forward to.
Binghe stumbled into Shen Xiaoxiang's dormitory with a panicked look, and couldn't even bother to salute, and fell directly at Shen Xiaoxiang's feet, his voice was anxious and afraid: "Little master!" Oh no...... Concubine Lan ......"
"Concubine Lan died of a blood collapse after giving birth, and this palace knows, isn't this our plan? Look at you in a hurry. Shen Xiaoxiang was so bent on thinking that Fang Yushan had passed away in childbirth, and she didn't pay any attention to the abnormality of Binghe's expression, and she preemptively finished her words for her.
"Little Master...... It's true that Concubine Lan is dead, but ......" Binghe couldn't bear to say it, she was really afraid that Shen Xiaoxiang wouldn't be able to accept it for a while.
"But what? Don't...... She gave birth to a princess? Impossible! Even the imperial doctor said that he should be a prince. "Even if it's really a girl, she admits it, it's better to have children than not to have children, just like Concubine De is also the daughter of Concubine Shu? Even if he is not favored, the emperor still treats Concubine De well for Princess Lingyu's sake.
"No, no, little lord! Concubine Lan...... It was a stillborn child, little lord! No more children, no more children! Binghe finally said the tragic ending, Shen Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, and then fainted and fell to the ground, so frightened that Binghe hurriedly helped her to lean on her shoulder and pressed her suddenly, after a while Shen Xiaoxiang woke up faintly, she grabbed Binghe's hand and asked in an unbelievable voice: "What did you say?" Stillbirth? How could it be stillborn! Wu Yin clearly said that as long as she recuperates according to her prescription, only adults will have something to do and will not affect the fetus! How could a child die! Shen Xiaoxiang was furious, pushed away Binghe and stood up by himself, and muttered to himself in despair: "It's gone...... Gone...... My child is gone......" Looking at the lonely back of the master, Binghe couldn't help but feel sorry for her, after all the hard work, it was still in vain.
