Chapter 124: Life in the palace is like a mustard

Su Man watched the carriage go farther and farther, until he was out of the alley and could no longer be seen, and then returned to the inner courtyard with everyone.

At this time, it was only the end of the day, and the sky was slightly white.

Su Man looked at the tiredness on Xie Shi's face, sent her back to Shaohuayuan, and watched her lie down and rest again, and then returned to Yiranzhai.

There was no more panic in Yiran Zhai, the little girls had dispersed, and there was no sound in the courtyard at this time.

Su Man led Hongmei and Zizhu along the verandah to the main room, but the door of the west chamber suddenly opened.

"Girl." Tang Niangzi stood behind the door, her voice was low, and her eyes were not as bright as before.

Su Man stopped and turned his head to look at Tang Niangzi.

Tang Niangzi didn't speak again, only looked at Su Man quietly.

Su Man also looked back at Tang Niangzi, and only after a while did he say to Hongmei and Zizhu beside him: "You two go back first, I have something to say to Sister Tang." ”

Although the two girls looked a little confused about these two people, they still responded respectfully and walked back to the back room.

Su Man turned his head and walked straight to the west wing.

Tang Niangzi took two steps back slightly, let Su Man into the house, and then cautiously looked at the side and closed the door.

There was no light in the house, and Su Man could only vaguely see the furnishings in the house after a while of getting used to it.

She groped her way to the table and sat down, then turned her head to look at Tang Niangzi and asked in a low voice, "What does my brother know?" ”

Tang Niangzi didn't go around the corner, sat down beside Su Man in a few steps, and explained softly: "I came out of your room last night and went directly to Jintaifang, Jintaifang had already received the news at that time, and when I went, Gongzi was already dressed and ready to enter the palace." ”

Su Man was stunned for a moment, did he make a move so early. She stared at Tang Niangzi, and before the words in her mouth came out, she heard Tang Niangzi continue: "Gongzi entered the palace, and Luo Gongzi told me about what happened. ”

Su Man nodded quietly, and did not urge Tang Niangzi, only staring at her with a pair of bright eyes.

Tang Niangzi took a deep breath, and then slowly said what she had heard.

It turned out that the reason why Queen Ji's fetus was not announced to the public for a long time was precisely because her fetus was extremely bad, not to mention lying on the couch every day to recuperate, and she had to drink fetal medicine three times a day.

is so carefully raised, every time the imperial doctor finishes asking for peace and the pulse, he still has to euphemistically tell the queen to relax his mind.

The prince naturally knows about this, but he is not completely brainless in the end, and these things have not been leaked to the outside world.

But yesterday evening, Queen Ji and the prince had dinner together, and soon after the dinner, they said that their stomach was a little uncomfortable, and the prince knew that his mother's birth was not stable, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurriedly invited the imperial doctor to come over.

But when the imperial doctor arrived, the queen was already red, and a group of people surrounded her and poured tocoprotective pills and ginseng soup, and in the end, they didn't save the child.

didn't keep the child, and this miscarriage even caused a blood collapse.

Su Man was speechless when he heard it, not to mention that in ancient times when medical treatment was backward, even in modern times, women who bleed heavily are all dead.

Therefore, when it was just over, Queen Ji, who looked very healthy on weekdays, died.

The emperor was naturally very angry, and sent all the palace maids and servants in Jingyang Palace down, and imprisoned them in the Shen Penal Division overnight.

The dishes eaten by the queen that night were carefully examined by the imperial doctor, but nothing was found wrong with these foods.

In the end, Tang Niangzi also had to sigh: "In the final analysis, this queen mother's fate is not good, and she did not have the life of being the queen mother." ”

Su Man thought so, but she thought more than Tang Niangzi.

Mrs. Su also said that there are too many dirty things in this palace, and this human life is the most worthless thing in the palace.

Queen Ji's miscarriage is so strange, is it really just that she has a bad pregnancy, and her fate should be like this?

But it's too late to say anything now, she and Lu Yan originally wanted to save Queen Ji's life, and then put the crown prince on the throne.

But now, Queen Ji has passed away even earlier than the original owner said, so I don't know how things will develop in the future.

After Tang Niangzi finished speaking, she looked at Su Man, and added, "That's all we know now, as for who is behind this, it's not for us to find out." ”

Su Man understood that after all, it was forbidden in the palace, no matter how powerful Lu Yan was, he was just a small fourth-grade Shaozhan now, and he still couldn't reach into this palace.

Coming out of Tang Niangzi's room, the sky was already dark, and Su Man took advantage of the faint light to look sideways in the direction of the forbidden middle.

I don't know what happened to my grandmother at this time, whether anyone arranged a place for her to rest, whether she had anything to eat.

She had heard some about this foreign woman crying for the spirit, saying that she would kneel outside the mourning shed and cry for seven days, during which she was not allowed to eat staple food, but could only drink some gruel to satisfy her hunger.

My grandmother is now old, and I am afraid that she will be tired after this funeral.

Because of the mourning in the palace, all the mansions in the capital were replaced with plain white lanterns, not only that, but the doors were closed and no one entered or exited.

For a time, the entire capital showed a depressed scene.

In the past few days, Mrs. Su got up in a hurry before dawn every day, put on a mourning dress and went straight to the palace, and did not come back tired until it was completely dark.

Mrs. Rao said that the people in the palace were very polite to her, and specially found a place for her to sit, so that she didn't have to go out to cry all the time, but after all, she was old, and after a few days of tossing, she was obviously haggard.

The queen's coffin was suspended in the palace for seven days and finally buried in the imperial tomb.

Su Man heard Mrs. Su say that the emperor has been in a mess all day since the death of Empress Ji, and even dropped out of the dynasty for three days to mourn his wife.

Su Man listened to it but didn't think so, the emperor has three thousand beauties in the harem, and there have never been fewer warblers and Yanyan around him, not to mention, she heard the original owner say that Queen Ji died only a year ago, and Queen Wang entered the palace.

made such an affectionate gesture, not for the sake of the Ji family.

With the death of the queen, all kinds of flower banquets in the capital have also stopped, and the people on the street even speak a little lower than usual.

Su Man looked at his plain little face in the mirror, and couldn't help but lament: "How long will it take for this mourning period to pass." ”

She's almost forgotten what meat tastes like!
