Chapter 115: Acacia Ash
"Ready? The people we've been waiting for are coming. ”
"Back to Niangniang, it's ready." The maid responded.
She raised her eyebrows lightly, lightly touched the rouge, simple and dignified, "You have to be gentle and generous, so that the emperor can be more happy." ”
That person's voice is still echoing in his ears, a person who has been forgotten by everyone, remembering that when she first saw her, although she did not change her arrogance, it was precisely because of that encounter that her whole person was much brighter, what a lifetime of holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son, but a joke, where is the most lacking love for the women in the deep palace.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"I've come to see you, do you still like these rewards?" He bent his eyebrows and smiled, holding her waist that he didn't hold well, "You've lost a lot of weight recently, but the meal is not appetizing?" ”
She covered her lips and chuckled when she heard this, "Where is Your Majesty, the concubine is His Majesty's person, and the palace cook naturally does not dare to slack off, but the concubine has been very lacking recently, and she is lazy to eat." ”
Nanli looked at her helplessly, "I know that you are afraid that I will punish them, have you ever consulted the imperial doctor?" ”
"No, the concubine is a minor problem, just raise it for a few days, and you don't have to bother the imperial doctor." An Ziyan said with relief, "Bring the dessert I prepared for Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can taste it, this is the recipe that the concubine specially found." ”
Seeing that she took a piece of it into her mouth, Nan Li also took a piece, "The color is crystal clear, and the taste must be quite good." ”
The woman who was smiling a second ago shrank on the ground in pain at this moment, "Your Majesty, save me." She called weakly, Nanli threw the pastry in her hand and hurriedly went to help her, "Pass on the imperial doctor." ”
Half an hour later, the imperial doctor was late, and when he saw the situation in front of him, his heart was half cold, he trembled and checked his pulse, and his eyes were full of fear, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, she has a fetal gas." ”
Nan Li looked at An Ziyan in surprise, she said weakly, "Your Majesty, save the child, the concubine wanted to tell you today, I don't want to suffer this catastrophe, this is our first child." ”
Her eyes were hazy with tears and she said sadly.
Nanli suddenly remembered the pastry on the side, "Doctor Tai, take a look, is this pastry different?" ”
The Imperial Physician carefully examined it, and his complexion changed drastically. "Back to Your Majesty, this pastry has a clear spirit child, and pregnant women are afraid that both mother and child will die if they eat it. Fortunately, the mother did not eat much, so the minister had to use acupuncture to induce vomiting, and then use drugs to appease the fetus. ”
"Go." Nanli is also frightened when he falls here, he has never been blessed, since the founding of the country, the heirs are thin, and there is no prince who can inherit the country, if he can't keep the prince, he is only afraid of the number of Chen Guoqi.
An Ziyan had fainted in pain, and the prime minister heard that he was guarding the door, very anxious, and kept walking around and didn't know what to do, and he heard that the palace was quiet and abnormal, and he was even more flustered, and the imperial doctor carefully used acupuncture to stimulate the acupoints, and she spit out filth and became a lot haggard.
After some tossing and exhaustion, she slowly fell asleep, and I don't know what night it is, Nan left the palace gate and saw the prime minister waiting outside the door. "She slept, and she didn't have to worry about her life. Go back to the court from tomorrow. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cheng kowtowed to the place where he had left, and his heart relaxed.
After Nanli returned, he began to thoroughly investigate the poisoning incident, Qinglingzi tobacco is not used by many people, it is an extremely precious medicinal material, and the pastry was bought from a famous old shop in the city, as for when the poison was given, it is still being further investigated.
An Ziyan woke up groggily, she trembled and stroked her stomach. Child, you are wronged first. The concubine will treat you well in the future.
Ten days later, the queen of Jinluan Palace was seriously ill and unconscious, and she was afraid that she would not be able to do it. An Ziyan lingered on the sickbed for many days, thinking that the two of them had a friendship and went to Jinluan Palace, the woman couldn't see the elegance of the past, she leaned on the couch coyly. Because her face had already turned pale after a long illness, and she had not touched up her makeup, and the candlelight was getting more and more dim, a trace of pity rose in her heart, this woman, who had been so radiant, would also fall into the dust. She was afraid that her body would not be able to hold up His Majesty to come, and the oil would run out.
The courtyard is full of decaying grass, and when they come in, they seem to have an illusion, this is a peasant woman's courtyard, the queen's residence is so depressed, what kind of things has she experienced, she slowly looked up at the three concubines in this palace, An Ziyan, Situ Yan, Nangong Yiqing, all delicate like flowers, each with its own charm. No wonder he never forgot to taste the newcomer. Those past events are like flowing water, and they will eventually be dispersed, but I don't know if I can still take a look at him, the dream of this life.
"Thank you sisters, this look of this palace makes my sisters smile."
"Niangniang doesn't have to be polite, it's our job to take care of you, so let's talk about laughing."
"This palace is looking for your sisters, but I just want to explain what happened after the death," she paused, looked at the person's face, and continued.
"Niangniang's words will torment us, and the concubines will not dare to shirk."
Rou Xi laughed, among the three, Nangong Yiqing was the most clever, and she also won the sacred heart, she knew that she was delicate and thoughtful, and she knew the emperor's heart best. But in this Jinluan Palace, she is still in charge.
She coughed lightly, and pulled Ziyan to say, "This palace is the closest to you on weekdays, and I have also asked His Majesty to ask the princess to raise you, I see that the child has a similar temperament with you, it must be excellent." ”
"Sister." An Ziyan's eyes were red, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Rou Ji wiped the tears in her eyes with a handkerchief, turned her head and said to Yiqing, "Your Majesty spoils you and indulges you, but you should always be a little measured, I heard that there are newcomers in the palace, and the favor of the people in the harem is often replaced, you still have to be calm, he indulges you for a while, but may not indulge you for a lifetime." ”
Yiqing wanted to dismiss it, but when she saw that everyone else was silent, she canceled her plan, she thought about that Wanyu, a woman in a green building who entered the house like this, it was too much, she would have to snatch it back sooner or later, not only Emperor Chen's favor, but also Brother Yu's favor, she should be a woman in the clouds.
Rou Xi smiled helplessly, how could she not understand the thoughts of these women, love a thing, she cried and hurt, but after all, she couldn't take away the affection. His body is getting worse and worse, but he still refuses to take a look, she looked out the window for a long time, but she didn't hear the familiar summons, he, so cold?
Situ Yan stood quietly in the corner with her hands down, she listened to the queen's last words, and suddenly smelled the breath of sadness, how much she would love that person, so she couldn't let go.
"Yan'er, come here."
She walked numbly to the side of the bed and stood in front of it. "Mother, I'm here."
"Before you entered the palace, your father kept telling me to let me take care of you. But fortunately, you are sensible, and this palace didn't put much thought into it, but this palace can't protect you in the future, so you have to be careful in everything. ”
Situ Yan choked up, she felt that her mother treated her very well, but it was a pity that they fell in love with the same person.
The queen looked at the moonlight outside the window, "Actually, my real name is Yue, just because he said that tenderness is like water, so he is gentle." ”
The wind outside the window was blowing, her eyes gradually dizzled, the lights tonight were not as bright as before, and her hand holding Yan'er was a little loose.
An Ziyan leaned aside, she felt that her heart was not a taste, the faint candle flame seemed to want to take something away, she was a little scared.
Nan left the dynasty and went straight to Jinluan Palace, she was seriously ill. His mind is full of disorganization, they once promised life and death, and they will never leave, but is she going to abandon him?
"Sister, wait for me." He meditated in his heart. The little eunuch behind him ran to barely keep up with him, and the moment he stepped into the palace gate, he heard the wailing sound inside.
"Mother, mother, wake up."
He looked at the face, lay quietly on the couch, and didn't say a word. It seemed that the sounds around her were cut off, and she was immersed in her own world.
"Hi'er, Hi'er, I'm your Nanlang."
With a crisp sound of the jade pendant falling to the ground, Situ Yan stood there at a loss, heard him spit out a rolling word viciously, and retreated silently, tears streaming down.
She looked back in surprise, the jade pendant didn't seem to be hers, it just fell from her body and it was strange, and before she could speak, she was blasted out, and only the imperial doctor and Her Majesty Queen were left in the room.
"Didn't you say that the queen mother could get better?" Nanli reached out and grabbed the man's neck.
"The minister didn't expect that she was too worried."
Nan Li kicked the imperial doctor away, and the imperial doctor fell to the ground, catching a glimpse of the broken jade pendant in front of him, he picked it up and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
"Your Majesty, this jade pendant, this jade pendant."
"Old thing, what are you doing?" He stroked the queen's face and said impatiently.
"This jade pendant contains Qing Lingzi, which is poison. The wearer can prevent it on their own, but if someone else touches the jade, it will inevitably be affected. ”
The imperial doctor's words were obvious, someone used Qing Lingzi to poison people, he remembered the poisoning of An Ziyan before, and he was even more furious, and looked at the peaceful queen beside him, and said tiredly, "You go down first, don't tell anyone about this, I want to accompany the queen." ”
The Imperial Doctor retreated, and Nanli lay on top of her and began to cry.
"Hi'er, Hi'er, why don't you wait for me." He suddenly realized that he had neglected her for how long, and he had not even been with her well when she was sick, and it turned out that she could not wait for herself. I didn't even want him to see the last side.
When did she become so thin, and she was much simpler, this courtyard did not have the appearance of the queen's palace at all, maybe it was self-punishment, only the lamp was still on, as if waiting for something, but she would not wake up again, and he couldn't regret it.
"We said that we would live a lifetime, but you left me," he smiled bitterly, "This punishment is heavy, are you willing to do it?" ”
No one answered, the woman's face was extremely calm, only the corners of her eyes were full of tears, she was still wearing the jade bracelet he polished back then, she said, "Nanlang's craftsmanship is so good, I can't find a second one in the whole world." ”
He smiled and responded, "That's because you like it." ”
He sat with her in his arms all night, the cold temperature was chilling, it was not that he didn't care, but he cared too much, so he would be alienated because of a misunderstanding, and it was irreparable.
