Chapter 25: Confirmation

Because of this assassination episode, a good family banquet also ended hastily, after all, the Queen Mother is old, and she has been stimulated a lot today, but she is still not at ease, Wei Baofu invited the imperial doctor to come over and ask for peace pulse.

"The mourning family is fine, how can it be so weak and can't help it, as long as you are fine, grandmother, there will be no illness." The Queen Mother said very easily, she always saw the imperial doctor, she was also a little bored, Wei Baofu didn't answer, she had to wait for the imperial doctor's diagnosis.

The imperial doctor didn't waste time, he took the pulse, and he said bluntly: "The queen mother is in good health, although she is a little frightened today, it is not a big problem, Weichen prescribes a pair of tranquilizers, just take care of it." ”

Before coming, the emperor specially explained that if he wanted to tell him the result, he still had to go to the emperor to reply, the queen mother is the queen mother, although there are some messy rumors in the palace, but the emperor's filial piety to the queen mother is real.

Sending off the imperial doctor, Wei Baofu personally served the queen mother to freshen up, the queen mother looked at her granddaughter, and her heart was full of emotion, stroking her hand, and said distressedly: "Today is too dangerous, if you haven't practiced some self-defense moves since you were a child, I'm afraid of ......."

Thinking of such consequences, the Queen Mother only felt that her heart was like a knife, Wei Baofu smiled and comforted: "Grandmother, don't worry, I'm clever, now that everything has just begun, how can I let myself be easily injured, besides, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." ”

The Queen Mother sighed, although she was reluctant, she still spoke: "If you can, let's go into the palace less in the future, grandmother only knows now, nothing is as important as you live well, I look at it coldly, the queen is stupid and poisonous, I don't know how to hate you now, this palace is her world in the end, I am just worried, there is a case." ”

Wei Baofu helped the old man to go to bed and rested, and said very seriously: "Grandmother is willing to see me for a long time?" Anyway, I'm reluctant, if the queen really hurts my heart, even if I don't enter the palace, she has a way, so ah, we don't have to hide, we can do whatever we want, at least for a short time, she won't know what to do. ”

The Queen Mother is not stupid, but she also understands what she means, "I don't dare to do anything at the moment, we just returned to the palace, and we only have some trouble with her, if something happens, she will definitely not be able to run away, but, the prince, how much silver do you have to pay back?" ”

Wei Baofu said slowly: "Grandmother, don't worry about this, although the soup shopkeeper has not eaten inside and outside for a long time, but Fengxianglou, who can't stand me, is a cornucopia, and he earns a lot of silver, and the prince has to pay back double the silver, adding up, at least 50,000 taels of silver, which is more than the dowry of many noble girls." ”

The Queen Mother gasped, "No wonder he has this thought, I'm afraid that this time the queen will bleed heavily, she has been in charge of the harem for so many years, and there must be a lot of money in her private room." ”

Wei Baofu smiled indifferently, "That's their mother and son's business, since they moved my money, then they have to spit it out for me as it is, I think that although the concubine Tang is a little stupid today, she still helped me in the end, otherwise, I have to find a way to get it back, and it's quite troublesome." ”

"It's good that you have a plan in your heart, the mourning family is really tired today, and if you want to rest, you should rest early." Wei Baofu nodded in agreement, covered the quilt for the Queen Mother, and walked out lightly.

Mama Feng was sitting on the small pestle outside the door, and when she saw Wei Baofu coming out, she immediately stood up and saluted, Wei Baofu helped her up and said softly: "Mama, there are many people waiting around Grandmother, you are old, don't keep vigil here." ”

Mama Feng shook her head with a smile, the little master cared about her, she was naturally happy, "The queen mother is used to being served by old slaves, don't worry about the county lord, I am in the ear room next door, and the little palace maids will help me in everything." ”

Wei Baofu didn't talk much anymore, their masters and servants had their own way of getting along, and she didn't need to worry too much, because she lived very close to her grandmother, she didn't let anyone follow when she came, and now she was wearing a cloak and walking in the courtyard of this Cining Palace, but she felt a little unusually deserted.

Just as she was distracted, an ordinary little eunuch walked over with his head down, walked up to Wei Baofu, saluted respectfully, lowered his head, and said in an indistinguishable voice: "County Lord, my master wants to meet with you, if you want to discuss." ”

Wei Baofu glanced at the little eunuch with an unpredictable expression, and said indifferently: "Which palace are you the little eunuch, and who is your master?" She wanted to see the lord of this county, why didn't he send someone to invite him openly? ”

The little eunuch was stunned, although he was still bent over, he was very respectful, "County Lord, the master said that she is not good to see you openly, but she will definitely not hurt you, and I hope you understand." Wei Baofu subconsciously fiddled with the jade gourd on her wrist, and she thought of someone.

He whispered: "I can go with you, but I have to go back to the house first to change my clothes, you don't alarm others." The little eunuch didn't expect that the county lord of Kangping would say this, and he estimated that she was extremely vigilant.

Wei Baofu walked in front, the little eunuch followed behind her, Wei Baofu didn't worry about anything, she guessed who wanted to see her, but she didn't expect this person to be so anxious, just in case, she still had to be prepared.

Pearl and Linglong were doing needlework in the room, Wei Baofu didn't need too many people to serve at night, and everyone else also rested, and they were a little surprised to see Wei Baofu come in with a little eunuch.

"You pour this father-in-law a cup of tea, and I'll go into the house and change my clothes." The two girls glanced at each other, stood up, and Linglong followed Wei Baofu into the inner room, and asked while holding her clothes: "Master, you have to go out so late, let the slave and maid follow." ”

Wei Baofu shook his head: "Let Pearl go with me for a while, she has a lot of strength and can also make some moves, you stay in the house, if I haven't returned for an hour, you can go to Mama Feng and ask her to bring someone to find me." ”

Linglong nodded cautiously, there was a reason for the master's arrangement, although Linglong didn't know very well, but she knew to act according to orders, seeing her nervous face, Wei Baofu couldn't help but comfort: "It's okay, if I guess correctly, that person has no ill will towards me, I arranged it like this, just in case." ”

Linglong nodded, dressed Wei Baofu, went out with her, and whispered a few words to Pearl, Pearl had already observed the little eunuch, and he had also spoken a clichΓ©, but he just didn't open his mouth.

The little eunuch led the way, Pearl helped Wei Baofu to walk behind him, the more he walked, the more nervous Pearl became, Wei Baofu patted her hand to signal her to relax, turned a corner, and finally they found the palace woman standing there by a small lake.

Seeing that the person who came was Concubine Shu, Pearl breathed a sigh of relief, Wei Baofu looked like he had expected it a long time ago, Concubine Zhao Shufei stepped forward with a chuckle and touched her hand, "My daughter's body is delicate, don't freeze, and when I go back, I want to drink some ginger soup to go to the cold." ”

Her movements were gentle, full of distress, and she inadvertently flicked the jade gourd on Wei Baofu's wrist, she was stunned, her eyes were a little sour, and she whispered: "You two go around and guard, I have something to say to the county lord." ”

The little eunuch was obedient, and turned away without hesitation, but Pearl didn't move, just waiting for Wei Baofu's words, Concubine Shu was not angry when she saw it, but looked relieved, Wei Baofu withdrew his hand a little uncomfortably, and said in a low voice: "You can go too." ”

Although Pearl didn't know what was going on, she obediently turned around and left, and when the two of them were far away, Concubine Shu asked, "Have you ever hated me?" Wei Baofu smiled lightly and asked, "Who do you think I should hate?" If I hate you, then what's wrong with you? ”

Concubine Shu looked at the little girl in front of her, only to feel that her heart was extremely soft, and she asked in a low voice, "You say, who am I?" Wei Baofu was stunned, looked at her for a moment, and unconsciously bit her lower lip, she turned around a little sadly.

said in a low voice: "Originally, I wasn't sure, but now that I see you up close, I probably know it in my heart." ”

Concubine Shu smiled with satisfaction, "Good girl, worthy of being the daughter of your father and princess, I can't help but come to see you today, I want to warn you, don't be too good, some people are dark in their hearts, if you are excellent everywhere, I am afraid that some people will not be able to sleep well." ”

Wei Baofu smiled indifferently, "I didn't have a sense of existence before, but it's not something that people are worried about, even if some roads are full of thorns, they have to walk by themselves, I want to know, what is Niangniang's plan?" ”

Concubine Shu turned around with a smile, she looked into the distance, and said in a somewhat ethereal voice: "I want the fourth prince to seize the throne, he has become the supreme person in this world, then we can have a peaceful birthday, otherwise ......."

Wei Baofu was not surprised, "The emperor is now very fond of Niangniang, and the fourth prince is also smart and motivated, and he is very loved by the emperor, and there is always a chance." ”

Concubine Shu smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that simple, if we are not careful, we will all die, but I have to do this, this is a promise, and it is also the meaning of my life." ”

Wei Baofu had puzzlement in his eyes, Concubine Shu touched her hair lovingly, and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't implicate you in any of this, as long as you live well, smile brightly, and have everything that we don't have, that's fine." ”

Although she couldn't quite understand her persistence, Wei Baofu understood the meaning of this sentence, and she said softly: "Don't blame your grandmother, she doesn't know anything, if you need help, I will help you."

Concubine Shu nodded with some relief, "You can't help much at the moment, let's take our time, in short, everything has to be careful." ”

Wei Baofu knew that she couldn't ask anything, she also knew some things in her heart, although she was sad, but she was also a little relieved, the maternal love she had received was real, and it never disappeared, although there were so many compulsions, as long as it was true, she would be satisfied.
