Chapter 71: Lifting the ban
"Let's dispense medicine, with a leek."
After a long time, Shen Tingnian spoke.
"Niangniang-" Min Yun disagreed with her decision for the first time, and she knew too well how difficult it was to persuade Shen Tingnian, "Xiaoxiao can be handed over to someone who is at ease to deal with, and she will not be given a chance to speak again, not to mention how to explain your 'accident' at this time?" ”
"I will tell the prince in person," Shen Tingnian was ruthless, she clenched her fists, "There is only one child and an adult, and I have no choice." ”
"You-" Min Yun's face turned pale when he heard this, and he couldn't help but shake his head and take a step back, "Niangniang, why is this so!" ”
"I drank the medicine myself, but why I drank this bowl of medicine, he will definitely find out." Shen Tingnian smiled coldly, "As long as he checks, that woman will get the fate she deserves." ”
For this, what is the pity for her to be a little painful.
"!" Mama Liu, who had never dared to speak nonsense, knelt down, she was finally smarter, knowing that Shen Tingnian was planning to use the child who couldn't be saved to exchange Shu Youlian's life, but the price was too great, "No, the child can still be saved, as long as you think of a way, there will definitely be a way." ”
Compared with her eagerness, Min Yun was a little calmer, and she also knelt down, "The slave maid remembers the overseas medicines recorded in the "Compendium of Sea Medicine", there is a herb rhinoceros, and those who cook it can take it, which can detoxify all poisons. ”
"Until the end, until it is related to the life of the mother, the slave will never give up this child."
Shen Tingnian moved his lips, but he didn't speak in the end.
Things are man-made, but things are made in heaven.

After the anniversary of the first emperor was completed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first removed the filial piety clothes, and then announced the emperor's edict to lift the ban on filial piety, and there was no taboo in marriage and heirship.
It was cold and rainy in November, and the journey back to Beijing was not too far, but the trip was repeatedly delayed.
"Your Highness, if it rains heavily tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll have to stay at the post station for a day."
In the backyard hall of Qilian Station, the Privy Council of the accompanying ministers all promised Zhao Xiang to talk about the itinerary after reporting many matters.
Zhao Xiang was only promoted to the Privy Council this year, and he is also Han Xiang's protégé, everyone knows that Han Xiang is old, this is cultivating a successor, Pu Yangxu takes care of his face, but also values Zhao Xiang.
"This rain doesn't look like it will stop in a day or two, and there is a mountain road in front of it, so it's really not suitable to start."
The one who answered the call was Wang Ji, the presiding officer of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of the sacrifice on the other side.
Pu Yangxu was already irritable in his heart, and when he saw them so indifferent and light as the wind, he felt even more unhappy, thinking that everything had not gone well in the past few days, he was even a little relieved about the court, got up and brushed his sleeves and said: "The palace is tired at this time, you all go down." ”
"Wechen retired."
Zhao Xiang raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise, Pu Yangxu was rarely emotionally exposed, and bowed and retreated with Wang Jiyi.
"Lord Zhao, look at this, has His Highness been bothered by anything recently?" Wang Ji looked distressed, he had just been promoted and had become a core member of the Donggong Party, so it was naturally time for him to pay keen attention to Pu Yangxu.
The two of them walked out along the corridor, although it was winter, in order to receive His Royal Highness the Prince, the corridor of the post station was also decorated with some potted plants, and it was rare to see flowers in this season, Zhao Xiang stopped, took a deep breath, and looked at a pot of peonies that opened out of season in front of him, the color was gorgeous, the jade smile was fragrant, and his expression was a little pleasant: "This peony flower is fragrant and pleasant, and it can be cold and open." ”
Wang Ji stood still with him, he was afraid that he would only be raised with a pot of gold, and he didn't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had seen it.
He pondered: "The peony is not because of the fragrance, but because of the magnificence, so it is called the king of flowers." ”
"Did you hear that Shen Jieyu just now—whose daughter is it?" Zhao Xiangfu walked forward again and asked casually.
Just now, Pu Yangxu went into the inner room to listen to Xu Xian's words, and vaguely heard the words "Shen Jieyu" and "well", they didn't mean to listen, or the room was too quiet, Xu Huan took the message from the fast horse and was in a hurry to report, so they were not too guarded and they were still waiting outside.
Wang Ji, who was one step behind him, looked at his back with a complicated expression, and then followed, with a spy: "The surname Shen is always inseparable from King Cong, and Lord Zhao is afraid that he hasn't seen Sister Ling for a long time." ”
Zhao Xiang's own sister is the crown princess of the East Palace.
Zhao Xiang glanced at him sideways, and didn't say a word more, the expression on his face was as cold as iron, which was terrifying, and there was a touch of disgust and struggle in the depths of his eyes, but he didn't know why.
In the evening, the heavy rain did not stop.
Pu Yangxu, who was detained at the post station, obviously got the news and knew that the child in Shen Tingnian's belly was good, but he was a little impetuous, he threw down half of the fold he had read and took a thick copy of "Erya" to read.
"Qiu Yu, what do you think of this word, Ruan." Pu Yangxu has been watching "Erya" for several days, just to pick a word that is not in the royal family genealogy and name his daughter who has not yet been born.
Qiu Yu is quietly combing the report in front of the case, his job is to post different sticks according to the content of the excerpts, so that Pu Yangxu can handle them according to the different levels of 'urgent', 'urgent' and 'slow', seeing that the 'expedited' is finished, but the remaining two stacks of folds are still full of folds.
"Fabulous."
"You don't have any other words than to say yes."
Pu Yangxu has heard the 'good' no less than twenty times.
"The words taken by His Highness are all excellent, and the slave naturally has no other words." Qiu Yu replied without being humble or arrogant, turning over the folded hand, and the hand sticking the label did not stop.
Whoever listens to no less than 100 words a day will be as insensitive as him.
Pu Yangxu felt that he was very boring, so he copied all the words he thought were good while studying them himself, he thought, when he returned to the palace, he would discuss with Shen Tingnian, that is, this person has a big idea, and he may want to fight with him for the right to take this name.
I can't let her take it away.
###
Outside the wind and rain, Changxinyuan is also shrouded in dark clouds, chickens and dogs are jumping inside, people have come up on the palace road outside one after another, and some sneaky people stretched their necks to watch the movement, and immediately turned around and ran away to pass the news after listening to the slightest movement.
Zhao Jingyi sat on the main seat of the hall, and she didn't know where the wind came from, she felt that the cold swishing wind that seeped into the cracks of her bones made people cool from the skin and flesh to the bottom of her heart.
It was only three days after the ban was lifted in the palace that something happened.
Zhao Ting, who was waiting behind her, saw the master's face, a little stunned, and couldn't help but sink her heart, she could understand Zhao Jingyi's complicated feelings, when she was still in Kunning Palace yesterday, the queen had instructed that although the palace ban was lifted, no one could go to Changxin Garden to disturb Shen Tingnian to raise a baby.
At that time, Zhao Jingyi responded very decently, and was comforted by the queen, saying that when the prince returned to the palace, he would definitely compensate Luanyi Palace, which means that although Shen Tingnian's pregnancy wronged Zhao Jingyi, there was no way.
After being diagnosed with pregnancy from Shen Tingnian, although she didn't say anything, Zhao Jingyi's face was indeed less smiling than before.
Zhao Ting had never thought about the child in Shen Tingnian's womb before, because she was very sure of Zhao Jingyi's future path, so she didn't deliberately inquire about the affairs of Changxinyuan, but the news would flow like water from a high place, passing by her ears.
From the beginning of saying that he saw Hong, how did he go to ask the imperial doctor, and he still didn't stop prescribing medicine...... Without thinking about it for herself, things will be clear, from children who can't be saved, to adults who are in danger of life.
"The crown princess, Weichen has something to do—"
The two of them were distracted, and they saw that Imperial Doctor Feng was sweating all over his head, and there was no movement in it, and his two sleeves were soaked, all of which were wet with his own sweat, "The child didn't save it, and the adults are ...... now Need ...... I have to come up with an idea, Shen Jieyu's blood can't be stopped...... If you use strong medicine, in the future—"
"In the future, there will be no heirs."
Hearing this, Zhao Jingyi gasped, she couldn't sit still and stood up, "How can this be!" ”
Almost as soon as she said this, the suppressed cries of the maids were heard inside.
Probably because of the atmosphere, Zhao Jingyi's palms were sweating from this ominous shock, not to mention the cold back that had been irrigated by the wind, obviously there was a first-class charcoal fire in the house, which was warm.
"Mother, you need to get an idea as soon as possible." Imperial Doctor Feng was extremely uneasy, and he was worried about his head.
"This ......" Zhao Jingyi has always been decisive, but this matter is not so easy to make up her mind, she said to herself, "If you don't use medicine, can you save people?" ”
"Courtyard Feng Shou, use medicine."
I don't know when a grandmother came in from the door, forty or fifty years old, probably knew all the news, and accepted it quickly, older than everyone else, "After all, human life is important." ”
Before Imperial Doctor Feng could react, Zhao Jingyi had already answered, "Just do what Mama Qi said." ”
As long as someone took on this responsibility, how could Imperial Doctor Feng dare to have any objections, he naturally couldn't wait to go in again.
Zhao Jingyi only had time to turn around, and before she could take two steps, Mama Qi had already turned around first, "The queen is still waiting for news, and the old slave will go back to Kunning Palace first." ”
Looking at the other party's back that disappeared in an instant, Zhao Jingyi suddenly had a little headache.
Shen Tingnian's accident, if she didn't fight for her own body, if not, the fetus of more than four months, without any warning, suddenly miscarried.
It's not so simple to think about, I don't know how many people will suffer, and everyone starts to be careful, for fear of being dragged into the water.
The cause of this incident was that Shen Tingnian suddenly became popular, so the day after the accident, all the palace people in Changxin Yuan were grounded and had to wait for investigation one by one.
However, Zhao Jingyi has not yet started to investigate, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who got the urgent letter, hurried back, and before the people entered Beijing, the oracle arrived, except for the Qianqiu Hall in the East Palace, the rest of the palace was closed, and he wanted to investigate the matter personally.
"It's really a daughter!"
When Pu Yangxu heard the news, his heart felt like he had been hammered, the closer he got to the capital, the heavier the hammer, and the more detailed the news came, and even the fetus that flowed out was a female fetus was described in great detail.
For Pu Yangxu, this blow should be second only to the first emperor so far.
He went from being angry, angry, to discouraged—angry, angry, and discouraged, and went back and forth seven or eight times, and finally returned to the palace.
