Chapter 7: The Dangers of Growing Up
It was as if I had fallen into an endless abyss, mired in the mud and having trouble breathing. There seemed to be a pair of hands in the abyss tearing at my soul, intending to tear me to pieces! There seemed to be a dagger that stabbed into my lower abdomen frequently, pulling a piece of flesh from my lower abdomen and pulling it out, with a dull pain......
Qi Heng stood in front of me, looking at me with a pale face, the queen and the concubine stood beside him proudly, pointed at me and said sharply: "Your Majesty, it's this cheap maid! She has wrecked your flesh and bones! Your Majesty, quickly send her to the cold palace and die!"
I fell prostrate on the ground, my face full of tears, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged! The concubine is really wronged! The concubine did not harm Liang Baolin's child, the concubine did not!"
Zheng Guifei kicked me hard, kicked on my lower abdomen, and said with a cruel smile: "You! You dare to deny it, it is clear that you are jealous of the fetus in Liang Baolin's womb, except for you, a poisonous woman, who would do such an evil thing!"
The queen also said on the side: "That's right, your majesty, quickly issue an order to kill this poisonous woman!"
I looked at Qi Heng pitifully, his expression was still the same, as if it had never changed. Even though I pleaded and pleaded, he was not moved! The sleeves of his robe flew up, and he turned to leave, and a group of eunuchs came forward, pressed me to the ground, and strangled me by the neck with hemp rope, trying to strangle me to death!
I couldn't breathe, I could only watch him leave, looking at the smug faces of the queen and Concubine Zheng...... I was hoarse and cried out with all my strength: "Ahhh
"Niangniang, Niangniang?" there were footsteps and anxious voices around me, and I opened my eyes and saw the top of the tent where the mandarin ducks were playing in the water. I was sweating profusely and soaking wet. My hands were pinching my neck, and as soon as the light came on, I looked to the side in horror. Spring Equinox and Gu Yu stood beside the bed, very anxious: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?
I struggled to sit up, Gu Yu hurriedly went to wash my face, the spring equinox helped me, wiped my forehead with a handkerchief, rubbed my chest with one hand, and said softly: "Niangniang must have a nightmare, the weather is cold, the slave maid changed the thick quilt, but it is a little hot tonight, I think this quilt is too heavy, pressing Niangniang." ”
I couldn't speak, I could only gasp, and suddenly I felt a heavy pain in my abdomen, I pressed my lower abdomen in pain, reached out and touched the bottom of my body, the sticky wet feeling came, I raised my palm to look, and exclaimed: "Blood!"
The lights in the Chengming Hall were bright, and Imperial Physician Shen had just checked my pulse and prescribed a prescription. I shrunk alone under the covers, staring at the lotus-colored account in a daze.
The vernal equinox lifted the tent and looked at me, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
I turned my head, crimson.
I wasn't sick, but Aoi Shui came.
At fifteen, I grew up.
Taizong's biological mother, Concubine Duan, once said that for women in the royal family and harem, growing up means danger.
I didn't know what the danger that awaited me would be, but when I saw the emperor's dark and inexplicable eyes, I vaguely felt that the thing that made me scared seemed to be slowly approaching me.
Because it was menarche, the days were not long, and the three days were over.
Shen Qi came to check the pulse and instructed: "In the future, Niangniang should try to avoid raw and cold food, the medicine prescribed by Weichen to Niangniang, you still eat it, wait for the next day, if the time is right, you don't have to eat." ”
I frowned, "Aren't you going to eat for a month?"
"Exactly. ”
I pouted and said helplessly: "Since the imperial doctor has said it, eat it!"
The spring equinox smiled: "Niangniang is now grown up, and she is still like a child, fortunately, the medicine is not bitter, otherwise wouldn't Niangniang have to complain again?"
I laughed: "Others are much older than me and complain about medicine, so why can't I complain?"
Although Wang Meiren didn't toss anymore, she still often took people out of anger in her own palace, and she always refused to drink the fetal pills every once in a while, saying that it was too bitter.
"Fortunately, after that incident, Imperial Doctor Shen doesn't have to serve that difficult one. The vernal equinox smiled and offered the medicine bowl.
I frowned again, pinched my nose and drank it in one gulp, and then took a plum in my mouth, so that I felt better.
Shen Qidao: "Although Niangniang doesn't like to drink medicine, this medicine is to regulate the body, so that Niangniang's menstrual days can be accurate, if it is not accurate, I am afraid it will not be good in pregnancy in the future." ”
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Qidao: "A woman can only get pregnant after she comes to Kwai Shui, but if the menstrual period is not accurate, it will be difficult to ......."
I froze, and even though I lived two lives again, I still couldn't understand it. Now when I heard him say, I was a little stunned.
If I can conceive after menstruation, will all my previous efforts be in vain?
I remembered that in my previous life, it was only after the menstrual incident that I gave Jiuhe incense to me, and now I think about it, that's the reason!
The spring equinox is not as much as I thought, but said: "Niang Niang is still young now, take care of it for another year, and when she is pregnant, she will be able to give birth to a healthy Lin'er." As she spoke, she also blushed and said in a low voice: "The Imperial Doctor is a capable person, if there is any prescription at that time, the Imperial Doctor should not be stingy." ”
Shen Qi looked at her and said, "The only thing to do now is to take care of your body, if your body is good, it will be easier to conceive." If you conceive too early, the foundation is not good, and the mother and child are damaged, and it is not uncommon in the uterus. ”
The spring equinox hurriedly said: "What the imperial doctor said is very true. ”
I was in a trance, I had no interest in listening to them, and when I saw that my face was not good, I stopped talking to Shen Qi and helped me into the inner hall to rest.
"In two days it will be Niangniang's fifteenth birthday, I don't know if the emperor will celebrate Niangniang, how can I say that Niangniang is also the day of the Niangniang!"
I was embarrassed and said, "What is to celebrate or not, as long as he doesn't stab me in the heart, I will be satisfied." ”
"Mother!" was startled, but fortunately this was the inner sanctum, and no one heard my rebellious words.
I smiled coldly, a little disheartened, and I thought I was smart, but I didn't expect that I had miscalculated the timing. I'm even getting lucky, maybe because of my obedient and docile in this life, he no longer guards against me, so although he spoils me these days, he doesn't give me nine incense. It turned out that I had misunderstood.
"Spring equinox, I'm really scared......" His nose was sore, his eyes were red, and tears filled his eyes. Yes, I'm afraid, I'm really afraid, I'm afraid that he will still guard me like that, I'm afraid that I'm not short from the days of using Jiuhexiang, I'm afraid...... No matter how much I calculate, I can't escape his palm!
The vernal equinox held my hand, and I snuggled into her arms, sobbing silently. She couldn't care about etiquette anymore, hugged my back with her other hand, and said softly and slowly: "Don't be afraid, the slave will always be by my mother's side." No matter what happens, the slave will do her best to protect the mother and not let the mother be hurt at all. ”
