Chapter 256: Danger lurks
It was the time when the spring flowers were blooming, and even the coughing in the Dechamps Hall was less. But now the palace is not peaceful, and the palace people are cautious in their words and deeds, for fear that one will accidentally be affected by the pond fish.
Emperor Yuan He closed his eyes tiredly, and the movements of the woman massaged behind him were not slow, even though the time of a pillar of incense had passed, he still did not see half of the distraction and impetuousness.
Emperor Yuan He suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed the woman's hand, and the woman willingly stopped her movements and came to Emperor Yuan He obediently.
Emperor Yuan He looked at the gentle woman in front of him, and felt a little emotional for a while. In the past, I only felt that Ru Concubine was timid and cowardly, and she was not very inconspicuous, and she never remembered that there was such a person in the harem.
It may be that now that he is old, he has noticed that he is like a concubine. Especially after Lan Guifei went, his body was not as good as before, he often felt exhausted, and he liked to summon Ru Concubine to accompany him.
Emperor Yuanhe suddenly sighed: "Ru Concubine, I have wronged you all these years." ”
For example, the concubine is no longer young and beautiful as it used to be, not as pretty as Concubine Shu, and even less charming than the concubine, but she has a gentle and lovely nature, but it is more eye-catching than when she was young.
She smiled lightly when she heard this, and said without being surprised: "The emperor said that he was laughing, and the concubine never felt wronged." ”
Emperor Yuan He was very satisfied with her reply, as if he remembered something, and said: "Now that Yuren's child is not young, he should also become a family, and someone is taking care of him." ”
Ru Concubine lowered her eyebrows, removed the essence in her eyes, and sighed softly: "What the emperor said is that the concubine has already mentioned this matter with Ren'er, but Ren'er is ashamed of her crippled body and has been shirking, and she doesn't want to involve others." ”
Emperor Yuanhe frowned, and said with a little displeasure: "What are these words, King Ning is my emperor, the prince of Dali, even if he is disabled, he is not wronged." ”
Ru Concubine did not argue, but only obeyed: "What the emperor said is very true, Ren'er is about to be thin-skinned and difficult to speak, and everything is up to the emperor." ”
Emperor Yuan He stretched his eyebrows at this time, and said in a soothing tone: "Even if you live a life, you don't have to pay too much attention to your family background, the important thing is that you have a gentle and elegant temperament, and you are knowledgeable and courteous." I look at the granddaughter of Old Lady Lan, and Lan Shangshu's daughter is good.
Yingxin is also the queen's nephew, since she was a child, she often enters the palace to accompany the queen, and she can be regarded as a virtuous woman who grew up, and she is a good match for King Ning. ”
After he said that, he looked at Ru Concubine, who was overjoyed, saluted and thanked him: "Then the concubine thanked the emperor for Ren'er." ”
Emperor Yuanhe nodded happily, in a good mood, and said: "King Ning is going to marry, your position is too low and it doesn't look good." When I marry King Ning another day, I will also give you a promotion position. You have been in the palace for many years, and you gave birth to King Ning, and you deserve this concubine. ”
Ru Concubine smiled more deeply, and saluted again: "The emperor is so loving, the concubine is grateful, and I am willing to accompany the emperor to serve left and right." ”
Emperor Yuanhe waved his hand, signaling that she didn't have to be polite to get up. At this moment, Fu'an came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu led the four princesses and the six princes here, saying that the prince and the princess wanted the emperor, so they specially brought them to meet the emperor." ”
Emperor Yuanhe rubbed his eyebrows as if he was a little tired, and was about to say something, when another palace person recklessly broke in, and without waiting for Fu'an to reprimand, he listened to him: "Your Majesty, it's not good, someone from Caiwei Palace, Caiwei Palace said that the concubine had just fainted!" ”
Emperor Yuanhe looked up suddenly, and the people in the palace were scared, and Emperor Yuanhe said sharply: "What the hell is going on?" ”
The palace man was just a messenger, and he couldn't say why, so he only replied tremblingly: "Slaves, slaves don't know, Imperial Doctor Zhang has passed at this time, about ......."
Before he could "about" come up with something, Emperor Yuan He had already gotten up and gone out.
Ru Concubine saluted behind her and did not say a word from beginning to end. After Emperor Yuan and Emperor left, she also came out of the Deshang Palace and collided with Concubine Shu, who was losing her temper.
The two mothers behind Concubine Shu are still holding the fourth princess and the sixth prince in their arms, and they are already babbling. I waited for a while, and the drunken spring day was just right, and I was a little drowsy.
Ru Concubine looked a little distracted for a while, probably remembering King Ning's appearance when he was a child. It's just that Concubine Shu is not in such a good mood, she is already on fire, and she has no good face when she sees Ru Concubine.
Although the concubine is old in the palace, her position is not as good as Concubine Shu, and she has to salute when she sees Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu only turned a blind eye, and when she turned around, she muttered and scolded "old woman".
Xia Han, the girl next to the concubine, was angry, but she only dared to mumble in a low voice: "This Concubine Shu is really unreasonable, the emperor went to Caiwei Palace, what kind of anger did she lie to her mother." ”
Concubine Ru didn't care much and said: "Concubine Shu has always been such a character, and what she said is right, this palace is already old." Now that Ren'er is going to get married, how can this palace not be old. ”
Xia Han wanted to speak again and again, but finally couldn't help but say: "But the emperor is too partial, the crown princess is the daughter of the Qi family, so naturally there is no need to say it." Although Princess An's family background is not obvious, she was also asked for by the queen herself. But when she came to our prince, how did she become Miss Lan Family.
The Lan Yuanxin made such a fuss before, who would dare to propose to the daughter of the Lan family. And although this Lan Yingxin is the nephew of the queen's mother, but now that the old lady Lan is gone, what is the Lan family? ”
As she spoke, she happened to meet the eyes of the concubine, and was suddenly frightened by the cold eyes, and suddenly came back to her senses, feeling uneasy in her heart.
Ru Concubine completely lost her former gentleness and warmth, and said coldly: "The Lan family is nothing, and the emperor's will is nothing?" ”
Xia Han knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "The slave knows that she is wrong, and the slave and maid will definitely not dare to say it again in the future, and ask the mother to forgive her sins." ”
Ru Concubine was unmoved, and said in a stern tone: "This palace has repeatedly warned you to be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace. We were walking on a single-plank bridge, and we must not leave a handle for others, otherwise we may fall down and never turn over.
If you are so open-mouthed, you don't have to wait by the side of this palace. This palace is nothing in this palace, and it won't protect you if you cause trouble in the future. ”
Xia Han was so frightened that she burst into tears, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Niangniang will spare the slave and maid this time, the slave and maid will definitely be cautious in their words and deeds in the future, and they will not dare to talk nonsense again." ”
In the end, it is a girl who has been with her for many years, and she has been waiting for herself wholeheartedly since she was down, and she can't bear to be a concubine. She personally helped Xia Han up and sighed: "You, think twice about everything in the future." Talk less and do more things, so that you can live a long time in this palace. ”
After saying that, Ru Concubine didn't know what to remember, and muttered: "I don't know what will happen if Ren'er knows about it, that child is in his heart, alas, ......"
But it was said that Emperor Yuanhe hurriedly went to Caiwei Palace, and saw that it was already a busy mess, and the screams of the poor concubines could be heard in the courtyard, which made people's hearts furious.
Emperor Yuan He took three steps and two steps into the house, and saw that Imperial Doctor Zhang was leading someone to administer needles to the concubine, who was wet with cold sweat on her forehead, her sideburns were messy, and her eyes were distracted, but fortunately, the screams gradually lowered.
After a long time, Imperial Physician Zhang had time to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and led people out to greet Emperor Yuanhe.
He brought out a few faint wisps of blood when he came out, and Emperor Yuanhe's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, what's wrong with the concubine?" ”
Imperial Doctor Zhang is already old, and he is exhausted after this toss, and he replied with a dead spirit: "If you go back to the emperor, the poor concubine Niangniang saw that Hong almost had a miscarriage, but fortunately, now her pulse is stable, as long as she has a good birth, there will be no big problem." ”
Emperor Yuan He did not relax his expression, and asked, "Good duan, why did you suddenly become popular?" ”
Imperial Physician Zhang hesitated for a moment and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, according to the old minister, it seems that the poor concubine Niangniang has also been poisoned by the floating life. It's just that the dose is not much, so it didn't happen. ”
The room was as silent as suffocation for a moment, and then only a "bang" was heard, and Emperor Yuan He said coldly: "Someone first poisoned my princess, and now he wants to poison my unborn imperial heir, maybe next time he will poison me, is this not a big deal?" ”
The people who knelt on the ground suddenly "cheered" in the room, and no one dared to squeak. At this time, the poor concubine inside seemed to hear the movement and cried: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......."
Emperor Yuanhe got up and walked in, and saw that the poor concubine had tears in her eyes, struggling to get up, and Emperor Yuanhe went up to stop him: "You are lying down, don't get up." ”
As soon as the concubine grabbed Emperor Yuanhe's hand, she said in fear: "Your Majesty, someone wants to harm the dragon heir in the concubine's belly." It's the queen, it must be the queen, you have to be the master of the concubine and the dragon heir in the belly! ”
Emperor Yuanhe had a headache and reassured: "Okay, okay, I know that you are frightened." Stop talking nonsense, slandering the queen is a serious crime, and remember not to be so taboo-free in the future. ”
The concubine did not relent: "Your Majesty, since the incident of the third princess, martial law has been imposed in the palace, except for the queen, the concubine can't think of anyone else who can poison the concubine unknowingly."
Except for the queen, who can't tolerate the concubine and the son in the womb so much, he has to put our mother and son to death! ”
Emperor Yuan He's original impatient expression was frozen, and he seemed to have listened. But he didn't say anything for a while, only comforted the concubine a few words. After coaxing the concubine to rest, he came out of the inner room, and Imperial Doctor Zhang still led people to wait in the outer room.
After sending everyone else out, Emperor Yuan He had a calm face: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, Tai Hospital has been studying Fusheng for many days, and there has been no progress yet?" ”
Doctor Zhang was forced to break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and replied thoughtfully: "Weichen is ashamed, the Tai Hospital has done their best, only to know that this floating san is made of a special herb. But I don't know exactly what the herb is. ”
The pressure between Emperor Yuanhe's eyebrows became heavier, and he suddenly saw the person kneeling behind Imperial Doctor Zhang, and asked, "Who is this?" I saw that it was he who applied needles to heal the concubines. ”
Imperial Physician Zhang turned sideways, and Sun Mingzhe, who was behind him, took two steps forward, kowtowed, and said: "Sun Mingzhe, a graduate of Weichen Tai Hospital, is just doing his best to assist Imperial Doctor Zhang in his treatment." ”
Imperial Physician Zhang did not erase his merits, and said: "Although this person has not been in the hospital for a long time, he is still just a graduate student, but he is a material that can be made. Three generations of family practitioners are proficient in acupuncture, which is very effective in alleviating the poison of floating life. ”
Emperor Yuanhe's face softened slightly, and he nodded: "Since he is a young talent, Imperial Doctor Zhang can be reused." At present, the poison that has been dispersed is already a major problem, and the hospital must make an antidote as soon as possible, and it is urgent to do so! ”
The two went back to the hospital, and Doctor Zhang looked tired, which encouraged Sun Mingzhe to go back to work.
Sun Mingzhe was also preoccupied, and when he passed by, he accidentally saw a messy piece of paper on the case, and he didn't know what he saw, and his heart moved. He was about to take a closer look, but someone put the piece of paper away.
Sun Mingzhe looked up and saw that it was nonsense.
