Chapter 8: The Queen
Wei Zhongxian was able to become a eunuch and was deeply favored by the emperor, not because he was good at slapping horses as Ming Shi said, but because he was good at judging the situation and being very obedient. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Now that Zhu Youxiao has made up his mind, he is not easy to persuade again, and he will not hesitate to die for his own political purposes like a civilian official, but honestly went to the cabinet with the emperor's dictation.
It was getting dark, and just after Li Jinzhong retreated, the Ke family and a beautiful girl wearing a phoenix crown and a veil came over.
If Zhu Youxiao's memory is correct, this beautiful girl is her own queen Zhang Yan, and she was later honored as Empress Yi'an in the Chongzhen Dynasty.
According to historical records, this Empress Zhang has a delicate appearance and a slender body, and now when Zhu Youxiao sees it, sure enough, there can be a beautiful woman to become his wife, which makes Zhu Youxiao very happy.
Empress Zhang bowed slightly to Zhu Youxiao: "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”
"Get up", but Zhu Youxiao found that his face was pale and lacking in righteousness, so he couldn't help asking, "Are you sick?" ”
The Hakka on the side replied: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the queen mother has only had a miscarriage not long ago, and now she has just recovered her body, because she knows that Your Majesty's dragon body is safe, so she hurriedly wants to come and see her." ”
"Miscarriage?"
Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered that the book mentioned that the Hakka family had a feud with Wei Zhongxian and Empress Zhang and tried to frame Empress Zhang and make her miscarry, but now that he thinks about it, it is full of loopholes.
Let's not say that Wei Zhongxian has nothing to do with the Hakka family now, even the intimate appearance between Empress Zhang and the Hakka family just now doesn't seem to have any contradiction.
And even if this Ke family and Li Jinzhong really collude with each other and have a dislike for the queen, they can't be guilty of murdering the prince, you must know that once Zhu Youxiao has no children, let Zhu Youzhen, who is supported by the Donglin Party, inherit the throne, and the most unfavorable person is him Wei Zhongxian.
If he is Wei Zhongxian, I am afraid that I wish Zhu Youxiao had a few more heirs.
Because, if he has a son, he Wei Zhongxian still has a chance to be the second Wang Zhen.
Thinking of the fact that he was almost poisoned by the Donglin Party and the people who believed in the king in the early hours of this morning, Zhu Youxiao was completely sure that even if his queen's miscarriage was really harmed, I was afraid that it was related to the Donglin Party!
This is at least logically reasonable, the agent supported by the Donglin Party is his younger brother Zhu Youzhen, if he has no heirs as the emperor, he can let Zhu Youzhen ascend the throne smoothly, and they can achieve their political goals.
Later, as soon as Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, the people of the Donglin Party were quickly appointed, and almost all the eunuchs stepped down, doesn't this just show this?
Seeing the loss of blood and qi of his own queen, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking: "How many miscarriages has Concubine Ai had?" ”
"Three times?"
"Damn! I've got to find out who did it! ”
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel very angry, his queen was only twenty years old, but she was framed for miscarriage three times in a row, and as a doctor, she naturally knew how much damage this would do to a woman.
Zhu Youxiao directly grabbed his concubine's little hand, which was soft and cold, and regardless of Queen Zhang's somewhat shy face, he put his finger on Queen Zhang's wrist, and then raised the queen's jaw: "Open your mouth!" ”
Empress Zhang obediently opened her small mouth, and her whitish little tongue automatically stretched out, and she whispered a little shyly: "Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Youxiao looked at it for a while, and guessed in his heart that he loved the concubine's seven. Eight points of symptoms, and asked the maid beside the queen: "Does the queen have a doctor, whose medicine is used?" “
Without waiting for the maid to reply, the Hakka family came over first and replied: "The queen is now taking the medicine of the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, but after taking it for a few months, it has not worked, but it has worsened?" “
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but have a cold face, it was this Xu Yuan sentence again, not to mention that he used the medicine of the tiger and wolf, but also to attack the queen, thanks to this guy's knowledge, he committed suicide in advance, otherwise I would have to kill him!
"Since March, the concubines, the blood shed below has not stopped", one of the present is her husband, the other is the nursing mother, Queen Zhang does not have to shy away from it, she said the illness that has plagued her for a long time, and she wants to tell her close people when she is sick, which is a very normal psychological phenomenon.
The Ke family couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, but Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, but pulled Queen Zhang into the warm pavilion inside: "Light the lamp and give the queen wide clothes!" ”
"Your Majesty, you are, the concubine is inconvenient now", Empress Zhang didn't understand why her husband suddenly asked someone to give her wide clothes, and thought that her husband was going to do that, she was anxious and angry for a while, anxious that she was unwell now and couldn't serve him, and angry that her husband didn't know how to pity herself.
The Hakka on the side also wanted to persuade him, but Zhu Youxiao had already rudely hugged Empress Zhang horizontally, and placed it flat on the kang, and lifted Empress Zhang's pleated skirt: "Bring hot water in a basin, palm lamp!" ”
The queen and the Ke family saw that Zhu Youxiao did not undress or do anything else, but just washed their hands with hot water, lifted the lantern to see a certain private place of Empress Zhang.
"Fortunately, it's just a little red and swollen, plus the pulse just now, there should be some slight poisoning, plus a few miscarriages, only to leave the current deficiency disease, you have to use high-quality ejiao and ginseng to recuperate, otherwise life is difficult to protect, and it is even more difficult to have children."
After Zhu Youxiao muttered a few words to himself, he saw that the palace maids around him were stunned one by one, so he couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you doing in a daze!" Don't do what I do, go get the best ejiao and ginseng! “
Seeing that the emperor was so angry, the female official at the head ran out in a hurry, and it didn't take long for him to bring ginseng and ejiao, but Zhu Youxiao saw that they were all shaved and inferior ejiao, and couldn't help but be even more annoyed:
"Bullying me only carpenters don't know how to use medicine, fooling me and my queen with these inferior goods, is it possible that you really want to kill my queen!"
As soon as Zhu Youxiao asked like this, the female official immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty is angry, the imperial pharmacy said that there is only this, because of the shortage of silver, there has been no medicinal materials for a long time." ”
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile, he is a dignified emperor and still can't use good ejiao and ginseng, is this still an emperor who is rich from all over the world?
Colonel Zhu You had no choice but to buy some high-grade Dong'e Ejiao and ginseng, although it was not much, but it was barely enough for his queen.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also ordered that from now on, except for a few handmaids who were intimate with the Hakka family and the queen, all the maids around the queen would be replaced.
For a while, the entire inner court of the Forbidden City became panicked, and the management was much stricter than usual, especially the diet and daily life of Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang were strictly controlled.
No one understood how His Majesty the Emperor could suddenly become so cautious, only he knew that behind this seemingly peaceful Ming court, there had always been wolf ambitions secretly trying to kill him.
