Chapter 65: The ruler dies
The queen didn't speak at first, as if she was weighing something in her heart, and she was terribly silent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuan Zhonghua and Yu Jiulu both looked at the empress.
Li Zu'e, the Duchess of Taiyuan, did not rush to defend herself, although this matter seemed to be inseparable from her.
Finally, Gao Yuanjun asked Li Zu'e, "The milk soup was brought by Mrs.?" ”
She was completely facing Li Zu'e. Today, the wife entered the palace to meet her, and the queen made up according to the ceremony, and the etiquette was thorough, and she was strictly organized, which looked particularly majestic at this time, giving people invisible pressure.
Li Zu'e knelt down, but she didn't panic. "The concubine was ordered to take care of Princess Langya, so naturally she had to serve food."
There is nothing wrong with her words themselves, but for some reason, they just make people feel unconvinced.
Wan'er knelt down with a "plop", and kowtowed without waiting for anyone to ask, "The queen is graceful." All the food and drink that Princess Langya ate was prepared by the slave maid, and the lady did not touch it. The princess drank only milk soup. The milk soup was originally a palace maid in the queen's palace who brought up a green glazed pot......"
The more Yuan Zhonghua and Yu Jiulu listened, the more surprised they became, they didn't know that there was such an inside story.
The little tiger beside the queen suddenly shouted: "Shut up!" She stepped forward and stared at Wan'er fiercely, "The queen asked the Duchess of Taiyuan, why is the cheap maid so talkative?" The original situation has not been sorted out, and the cheap maid pointed to the east and west, shirked the blame, and still wanted to push it to the Jiaofang Palace? Such a cheap, you should be pulled out and killed! ”
Wan'er is anxious to clear her mother's responsibility, and she is in a hurry. At this time, seeing that the queen's henchmen were furious, she was afraid that she would be implicated in the master's mother again, so she ignored Xiaohu and kowtowed to the queen again, "The slave and maid are telling the truth, if you talk about food, the slave and the maid are the handlers, and there is nothing to hide, what is the guilt of the slave and the maid is willing to admit the guilt, please punish the queen." ”
Li Zu'e, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Xiaohu suddenly jump out and accuse Wan'er, and her heart was also full of unhappiness. At this time, he also looked up at Gao Yuanjun, "If the queen says that she is guilty, please make it clear to Her Royal Highness, and the concubine will not shirk it." ”
Yuan Zhonghua knelt down and looked at Gao Yuanjun, "The matter has not been asked clearly, how can you be guilty for no reason?" ”
Yu Jiulu glanced at the person kneeling on the ground, and saw Xiaohu and a palace maid standing in front of the Duchess of Taiyuan and the eldest princess, extremely majestic and imposing, and she was extremely disdainful in her heart. "In that case, the queen summoned the palace maid who carried the pot to ask, isn't the truth revealed? Why should you wrong? She glanced at Xiaohu.
Everyone looked at the queen and waited for orders.
Only Yuan Yuyi kept screaming in pain from the tent on the big bed. There are also the voices of midwives, slaves and maids.
The queen finally spoke, but she was not answering Yu Jiulu's question. There was no expression on her face, and her pores could not even be seen on the fat powder, like a real mask. Gao Yuanjun glanced at Yuan Zhonghua and Li Zu'e, who were still kneeling on the ground, "The most important thing in the palace is Fadu. The truth of the matter is easy to obtain, and it is difficult to establish rules in everything," she stared at Li Zu'e, "Duchess of Taiyuan, this slave maid does not obey the law and messes with the rules, she deserves to die." As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaohu.
Xiaohu immediately called the palace maid to pull Wan'er up and drag her out as if he had received the mandate of heaven.
It all happened too quickly to be caught off guard.
Seeing that Wan'er had already covered her mouth, Li Zu'e dragged her out with a whimper, and knelt down to beg, "Why did Your Highness unjustly kill the slave and maid?" This maid is not at fault. ”
Yu Jiulu shook his head slightly. She saw that Yuan Zhonghua seemed to be about to step forward and grabbed her.
"Raw! Raw! Princess Langya gave birth to a little Langjun! Before he could recover from this, a high-pitched and excited voice came from there.
Yuan Zhonghua, who was still kneeling on the ground, was immediately attracted and looked up. But there was a tent to cover it, and she saw nothing.
The queen didn't care about Li Zu'e crying and fell to the ground, and walked over there herself.
Xiaohu and the other palace maids followed.
Yu Jiulu's family and Ah Jiao, who stood up, helped Yuan Zhonghua, who was a little distracted, to his feet.
As soon as this child was born, all the problems came to mind.
Yu Jiulu looked at Yuan Zhonghua in a trance, glanced at the crowded bed, and whispered to Yuan Zhonghua, "Why is the princess so weak?" If my husband dares to have a foreign wife and gives birth to a child, I will take revenge and kill this foreign woman. ”
Ah Jiao listened happily in her heart, and she liked this princess Rouran very much in her heart.
Yuan Zhonghua looked at the moonlight and said puzzled, "Is it okay to kill it?" ”
Moonlight was asked.
The two of them looked at Li Zu'e, who was still crying, and walked over.
The big bed was quickly cleaned up. Yuan Yuyi finally gave birth to a son with great effort, and the slave maid helped her drink the decoction that the imperial doctor had ordered to decoction early. Although Yuan Yuyi was tired, she felt relaxed, lying on the big bed and thinking about what happened today, she couldn't believe it.
She had her own son so quickly.
The imperial physician ordered to stay outside the tent all the time, and he didn't dare to stay away at the order of the queen. The queen walked over, and Xiaohu summoned the imperial physician to come forward and reply.
The queen deliberately avoided the crowds and chaos. And the attention of those midwives, palace maids and others is all on the newborn, and no one pays attention to it.
"Princess Langya is okay?" Gao Yuanjun asked in a low voice.
After experiencing today's incident, the Imperial Physician Ling learned about the human accident in an instant, and also stepped forward and whispered back, "The princess accidentally ingested the birth accelerator, so she was born prematurely." The minister was afraid that the princess would have a bleeding appearance after giving birth, so he arranged it in advance and prepared a decoction in advance, and at this time he had already drunk it, and it seemed that the princess was fine. ”
Gao Yuanjun realized that the decoction that the imperial doctor had personally decocted before was so important. But she immediately had new questions, and felt that the imperial doctor had something to say, saying that the princess was fine, so who was in the way?
Just about to ask, a palace maid came to invite the queen happily, saying that Princess Langya wanted to reply.
Yuan Yuyi had already been packed up, lying on the big bed covered with a quilt, but she hadn't seen her son yet. I didn't see the queen, the eldest princess, Princess Gao and others coming to see her. Although she had been in labor just now, it was not that she couldn't hear the outside sound at all.
I vaguely felt as if something important had happened, felt that the queen was angry, heard someone being killed with a cane, and heard someone crying bitterly. But she didn't say or ask in her heart. She didn't have anything to do to return to the queen, but she felt very uncomfortable that she was left here without anyone care.
The palace maids moved out of the way in front of the big bed, Gao Yuanjun walked a few feet in front of the bed, and didn't really go in, just stood on the oblique side of the bed, and Yuan Yuyi and the two of them could see each other. Yuan Yuyi felt that it was very laborious to lie down like this to see the queen standing in the distance, so she asked the slave maid to help her up.
Gao Yuanjun stood in the distance and said with a smile, "Although the princess accidentally ate the things of the Duchess of Taiyuan and gave birth prematurely, the mother and child are finally safe, and the palace is very relieved." Although Xiao Langjun was born prematurely and was weak, he should also be held to his mother. Saying that, no matter what Yuan Yuyi was thinking, he immediately ordered someone to take the newborn Xiao Langjun to the eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua.
This is exactly what Yuan Yuyi is most unwilling to do. Before her own son saw it, Yuan Zhonghua became a mother, and she had to hold it to Yuan Zhonghua first. But whether she wanted it or not, the queen ordered to leave completely.
Yuan Yuyi didn't say a word to the queen.
Now that Princess Langya has successfully given birth, the noise just now has passed. What the queen said to Yuan Yuyi, everyone else could hear it clearly. It is clear that the queen put the responsibility for premature birth on Li Zu'e. landed the child on Yuan Zhonghua again.
Yuan Zhonghua was too late to get out at this time. The palace maid had already hugged the newborn Xiao Langjun in front of her. Yuan Zhonghua looked at the wrapped child, motionless, all she thought about at this time was her son Bodhi. She didn't think she was the mother of the child.
Even Li Zu'e, the Duchess of Taiyuan, stopped her grief. As long as the child is safe, there is no responsibility for her. But her henchman Wan'er died in vain.
Yu Jiulu sneered, "If the eldest princess doesn't want to see it, don't look at it, it's not that she doesn't have a son." ”
The palace maid holding the child glanced at the princess Gao and didn't dare to speak. I thought to myself, probably only this princess Gao dared to speak so unscrupulously.
At this time, Xiaohu came over and saw that Yuan Zhonghua refused to hold the child, so she took a small group of babies from the palace maid and sent them to Yuan Zhonghua's arms. "The queen has good intentions, doesn't the princess appreciate it?"
The baby was sent to his body, and Yuan Zhonghua subconsciously took it with his hand, as if he was afraid that he would fall if he was not careful. Although it is out of necessity, it is an instinct for a mother with a son of her own.
This swaddling clothes are so small, this is Yuan Zhonghua's first feeling. Moreover, the child inside was so quiet that he could only notice the occasional movement of his little hands or feet, so slight that he could not even feel it. Yuan Zhonghua unconsciously compared himself with his son Bodhi. When Bodhi was first born, he was fat and cute, especially active, and cried loudly.
Out of pity for the baby, she gently lifted the light and soft layer of silk that still covered his face. A small head the size of an apple was revealed. A face smaller than the palm of her hand. The eyelids of small babies are always swollen and do not open when they are closed. But why is he frowning? The sparse eyebrows are twisted together.
The small face is not as ruddy as when Bodhi was first born, and the skin is wrinkled and wrinkled, like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes of life. The little face was pale and blue, and it seemed to be particularly laborious when breathing, and the small wings of the nose were shaking with the breathing.
He lay quietly, looking very weak, and had to be at the mercy of others to dictate his fate. Suddenly, the baby struggled to writhe. It's not like something that a premature baby could do. Even breathing was so laborious, how could he writhe so forcefully? Unless......
Finally, a little arm that was as dry as a wooden branch stretched out, and it was really not an exaggeration to say that it was like a wooden branch, it was just so thin and thin. There is no flesh and blood feeling of Bodhi's little arms at all. That little hand, horribly small, ridiculously small, like the tiny claws of a little finch shot down by the moonlight with a golden pill.
The little hands were slightly dark, scratching weakly in the air, as if they were venting their sadness, and as if they wanted to find some life-saving straw to save themselves.
Moonlight has never given birth, so Yuan Zhonghua looked at the child and felt pitiful and cute, she didn't see anything wrong.
Although Li Zu'e had never given birth, after all, she saw a child, so she couldn't help blurting out to Yuan Zhonghua, "Sister, there is something wrong with this little Langjun." ”
Ah Jiao wanted to reach out and pick it up, "Xiao Langjun is too weak." ”
Yuan Zhonghua stretched out his hand and lifted the corner of the fallen silk silk, afraid that it would make him uncomfortable if it hit the child's face again. Just as her hand passed, heaven was willing, and Xiao Langjun's little hand like a bird's claw happened to catch one of her little fingers. He grabbed it, and she couldn't bear to pull it back immediately.
Several people stared at Xiao Langjun.
He didn't move, as if he was asleep.
When Yuan Zhonghua withdrew her finger, she felt a sharp pain flash, but she didn't care. Ah Jiao picked up the child and turned around to hand it to the palace maid.
Yuan Yuyi has been sitting on the big bed, waiting for the child to be carried over.
The palace maid took Xiao Langjun over, and the queen took a look, but she didn't come closer, so she gave it to Princess Langya.
Over there, Yuan Yuyi couldn't care about her weakness, and couldn't wait to pick up the child. This is her son, and it is her support from now on, and she can finally hold it in her hands. Like Yuan Zhonghua, she has the identity of a princess and Gao Cheng's son.
Yuan Yuyi held the child in her arms very lightly and carefully, and looked carefully at his little face. He closed his eyes, and suddenly felt that his sleeping appearance was so similar to Gao Cheng. It's just that he's too quiet. It was so quiet that it wasn't true, he didn't move. Yuan Yuyi couldn't bear to disturb him, and didn't dare to touch him, for fear of waking him up. I hope he sleeps well, and I hope he will one day grow into a man to look up to.
Ti Nu also spent all her thought and strength on this day. At this time, seeing that Xiao Langjun was finally picked up, she also walked up to take a look. When I saw the eldest princess holding the child just now, she didn't seem to like the child so much, and Ti Nu thought that if the eldest princess really didn't like the child, could she let him stay with the lady?
Yuan Yuyi couldn't help but look at the child with a smile on her face.
Tinu also looked at the child.
Suddenly, Ti Nu's face changed, and she leaned closer to take a closer look.
Yuan Yuyi glanced at her puzzled.
Ti Nu seemed to hesitate for a long time and finally made up her mind, and slowly stretched out her hand. She lightly touched the tip of the baby's nose, immediately withdrew her hand, covered her mouth in shock, and took a few steps back.
Yuan Yuyi was also shocked when she saw that her face was colorless in an instant. She stared at her son for a long time, and finally reached out as well, and that hand trembled terribly.
She touched it, but she didn't retract her hand and kept it there.
Yuan Yuyi suddenly retracted her hand.
A shrill scream rang out in the hall, piercing everyone's heart.
The queen and the little tiger behind her looked indifferently at Yuan Yuyi and cried bitterly.
Yuan Zhonghua, Yu Jiulu, and Li Zu'e, the three of them were in one place, with different expressions, but none of them took a step forward. Yuan Zhonghua couldn't say what mood he was, and his mind was complicated. Li Zu'e felt heavy in her heart, although she knew that this matter would not be blamed on her, but she always felt that there was something unspeakable in this that she hadn't seen yet. Yu Jiulu's is completely indifferent. A few hours ago, she could see the smug expression of this Langya princess under the stars and the moon, and she really couldn't have too much affection for her.
