Chapter 146: Scorched
"Your Majesty, Weichen should be damned...... Ask the emperor to spare his life. ”
Xiao Zuo's pace in was staggered, and when he knelt down and begged for mercy, his breath was also messy, not that he didn't want to control it, but he was going to be scrapped after receiving thirty military sticks.
"I also want to spare your life, but there are no dissenting minions in the Qinzheng Palace, and I asked you to assist the concubine in investigating the matter," Pu Yangxu looked at him, with a chill on his face, "You don't distinguish between primary and secondary, what's the use of keeping you......"
"Your Majesty, Weichen has no two hearts," Xiao Zuo knelt straight hard, looking at Pu Yangxu's eyes eagerly, he knew that if he didn't make things clear, he would really die, "At first, Weichen really found that there was a palace maid with suspicious deeds who entered Yanxi Hall, and she had the smell of fragrant aconite, and Weichen definitely didn't smell wrong......"
The incense aconite itself is non-toxic and harmless, but it is used alone, consumes gas and damages blood. Those who are in the pre-lunar period, or those who are pregnant, have blood fever, and the law is used to cool the blood, and this drug is prohibited.
Pu Yangxu was not surprised when he heard this, Xiao Zuo also knew that the emperor still had his life at this time, but he must have not figured out what was there, he had to seize this point and turn over, otherwise he would really be defiled to death.
He was in a hurry with cold sweat and hot sweat, and there was a vague answer in his heart, but he couldn't figure out where there was no match, since he was transferred to Shen Tingnian's side to protect her, obey orders, pay great attention to life safety, and dare not snoop on Shen Tingnian's privacy, but also to remain vigilant, never dare to covet the emperor's woman, these imperial guards are different from the lieutenants, the slightest carelessness will be unclear, very taboo. Although the emperor's women are endlessly charming, they want to keep their heads even more.
Who knew that he chased the palace maid to the inner courtyard in a hurry today, how did he know that Shen Tingnian was bathing in the room during that time, because of his heavy body, he naturally followed several people around him, although he stepped into the inner courtyard, but soon returned because of no success, who knew that he would be seen by others, and then stabbed to the emperor.
"Then Weichen asked the concubine Niangniang unknowingly and told her that someone in Yanxitang used incense aconite, because Weichen and Niangniang have always avoided the ears and eyes when they told the matter, so there was no one else in the palace at that time," Xiao Zuo said that he felt that it was really difficult to argue, he could only make a sincere statement from the heart, "Please also ask the emperor to see the heart of Weichen, since the concubine Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon fetus, Weichen does not dare to relax his guard day and night, but all the things that are transmitted to the entrance, fresh fruits, hot tea, vegetable soup and drink...... Wechen will check it, and no matter what the visitors are wearing, if they use rouge gouache, sachets and jewelry, Wechen will stop and inspect them in advance...... Nothing is missing. ”
This narrative was obviously more powerful than the previous justification, Pu Yangxu took a few sips of a cup of tea, got up and said: "You have been with me for the longest time, if you don't trust you, it is impossible for you to enter and leave the Qinzheng Palace freely." ”
Xiao Zuo's eyes lit up, he choked up with excitement, and looked at the incomparable emperor who was approaching, he said firmly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is willing to make meritorious contributions, and he must make that-"
Suddenly, he was dumbfounded, staring at Pu Yangxu with wide eyes and horror, his pupils widened to the maximum, and a string in his head that couldn't be tied suddenly stopped, but it was tense and broken in the next moment.
Seeing him so frightened, Pu Yangxu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Zuo felt that his throat was choked and he couldn't say a word, just now he actually smelled the smell of ghost needle grass on the emperor's body, it turned out that the thread that had not been caught was here, he asked with difficulty: "Your Majesty...... Why do you have the smell of ghost needle grass? ”
"If Weichen didn't smell wrong, the breath has been lingering for so long, someone should have used incense doped with ghost needle grass, but this thing is in conflict with pregnant women......" Xiao Zuo was taken down and punished in the afternoon, in such a short period of time, Pu Yangxu didn't know how to get contaminated with the smell of chaos, and then went to see Shen Tingnian! I don't know if she's unwell now—
He couldn't say the following words, if the emperor stayed in the Qinzheng Palace, it would be impossible for him to encounter incense.
Pu Yangxu's hand behind his back clenched into a fist, "Are you sure it's the smell of me?" ”
Xiao Zuo lowered his head and silently acquiesced.
The matter has been revealed, first the separation plan, the transfer of Xiao Zuo, and then the beauty plan...... Pu Yangxu met Wu Jieyu and He Guiren on the way back to the Qinzheng Hall from the Wenhua Palace, and the two traveled together, but they didn't know why they were troubled by the grandmother of the palace ceremonial department, and they wanted to pass them to the two to listen to the training.
happened to bump into the royal car, Pu Yangxu got out of the chariot, and looked at the grandmother of the palace ceremonial department and suddenly remembered the past when she went to the palace ceremonial department to pick up Shen Tingnian, who was punished.
It's been so long, and I think back to it like yesterday.
After a long pause, when Pu Yangxu came back to his senses, he saw Wu Jieyu looking at him sweetly with a smile, and He Guiren next to her was shy and timid, and did not dare to look at him directly, but only peeked.
Pu Yangxu took advantage of the situation and let the two get out and go back, and then chose to walk back to the dormitory, which is such a choice, and it was bad, Wu Jieyu pulled He Guiren to follow again, and the two didn't dare to disturb him, and followed him not far away.
Until he returned to the Qinzheng Palace, he went straight to Yanxi Hall......
After another long day of silence, Pu Yangxu turned around and came to the window, his voice was a little hoarse: "I didn't allow people to get close, it shouldn't be incense, and the people I met today were checked one by one with sachets, and I found them and killed them directly, as for you, ......"
"Your Majesty, the slave has something to do." Chen Luo suddenly spoke, it was the first time he spoke when the emperor was angry, but looking at Xiao Zuo, who had been with him and Xu Xi for many years, he couldn't help but save him, "The slave knew that Xiao Zuo should be punished for making a mistake, and the slave didn't dare to plead, but punishing him at this time is also the pleasure of the relatives and enemies, besides, the concubine Niangniang also has to ask——"
After a pause, seeing that Pu Yangxu didn't say anything, his head was in a cold sweat, his legs and feet were weak, so he simply knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave begs the emperor for mercy." ”
Shen Tingnian didn't know that Xiao Zuo was recalled by Pu Yangxu, if he asked about this and traced back to the source, he would definitely know about the newly promoted Wu Jieyu and He Guiren......
Chen Luo also took risks in order to save people.
At this moment, he didn't realize that Pu Yangxu's gaze on him was more complicated than looking at Xiao Zuo.
Since Shen Tingnian borrowed the emperor's hand in addition to Fu Lu, Chen Luo has become the new steward of the Qinzheng Palace, and he is well-deserved as the first celebrity in front of the emperor, he has had a difficult time with Shen Tingnian, and now his concern for Yan Xitang is even more undisguised, and people are trapped in the game and do not realize that they have crossed the line, but others are different.
Pu Yangxu had already discovered it more than once, he couldn't tolerate Fulu before, and now he was a little bored with Chen Luo. But in the end, he has been with him for so many years, he is heartfelt, and he can do things, he is a little unhappy, it is not easy to use it if he changes people, and it is not smooth to use it if he does not change it.
Xiao Zuo finally saved his life, and the Qinzheng Hall fell into unprecedented silence.
There are many unpredictable things in the world, and there are many expectations, whether it is Chen Luo or Xiao Zuo, they can't see anyone else in this cage all day long, but they just appreciate a painting, and after looking at it for a long time, their hearts will have their own ideas, and they don't allow reason to make decisions.
###
Shen Tingnian didn't feel any discomfort, she is very stable now, in addition to circling around in the courtyard every day, she doesn't go out, just rush this patience, people outside have to praise her great, it stands to reason that her current status, no one dares to approach when she goes out, but she just can endure her temperament, and she is in a safe corner.
At this time, Hu Yuchun, who often came to the door, did not come to visit the door, except for being Shen Tingnian's eyes on the overall situation outside Yan Xitang, mainly because he was afraid that he was not careful enough to become a knife to harm her, so in order to avoid risks, he broke it from the source.
Shen Tingnian didn't feel difficult, but because he was going to face a difficulty, he completely calmed down, although he was not completely inexperienced, he also suffered a time, the more nervous others were, the more she felt that there was nothing to worry about, she got up every day to wash, eat, eat, stroll, read a book, enjoy the flowers in the outer courtyard through the window, and occasionally spread out the rice paper, move a brush, she thought about the upcoming children, painting everything is more childlike.
Most of the time she is sleeping, she is really sleepy, often naps until the evening to wake up, sometimes gossip with Yuezhu Suoqiao, she has to eat, and it is night in a blink of an eye, and she has to start sleeping again.
These are all put aside Pu Yangxu, he occupies Shen Tingnian's stomach every day, and communicates with each other very leisurely, unilateral communication, and it really achieves the effect, and now the movement of kicking is smaller.
Shen Tingnian did not deliberately listen to the outside world, and completely lived in Yan Xitang's current world, because she knew very well that her body must have an absolutely good attitude and overcome dementia in order to be able to give birth smoothly.
Probably the focus of the two is on the child's head, and there is no wind and snow in the usual chat, it is all common gossip, especially for the child's right to choose a name.
Pu Yangxu painstakingly listed a large list of names, which were vetoed by Shen Tingnian from beginning to end, none of them could be seen, he originally felt that none of the words in the book were missing, and as soon as she said it, he immediately disliked it.
The reverse is also true, Shen Ting has read the most medical books in the past half a year, so he gave the child a batch of medicinal material names and asked him to pick one...... As a result, naturally, it is not satisfied.
It's just such a simple name, and I can't decide on it for months.
Finally, on the afternoon of March 14, the second year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Shen Tingnian felt a bout of abdominal pain as he walked around the courtyard—this abdominal pain quickly developed into a regular pain.
The reason why I remember such a day is naturally because it is also a special day that will go down in history.
Xi Guifei Shen gave birth to a son, who was the first eldest son of Emperor Yuanxi.
The emperor himself was in the imperial study room and the ministers of the two provinces had a small meeting, and received the news during the deliberations.
It is said that the major affairs of the border and the war are being urgently discussed, and the affairs of the inner palace are no bigger than the major affairs of the state, and any urgent matters should not be disturbed. The matter of Concubine Kexi has always been a major event in the emperor, and no one dares to delay, so it is reported quickly.
Sure enough, Pu Yangxu couldn't sit still in a hurry, and after explaining in a few words, he hurried out, "Everyone, let's discuss, I'll go back when I go-"
This time, where can I come back in a short time.
