Chapter Ninety-Four: Angering the Palace People
She went out to the temple door and saw Wanwan standing under the window and crumbling, biting her lip and holding on.
There was no one in the huge courtyard, so I thought I went to eat and play cards with the help of the master.
Seeing Afu coming out, Wanwan blurted out: "Madame, be careful, don't step on the broken jade on the ground." β
Ah Fu looked down and saw that the jade Ruyi that Qiao Guifei had broken just now had not been cleaned.
She took two steps around and helped Wanwan, who was a little shaky, felt that her hands were cold, and said distressedly: "Silly girl, I don't know how to find a sheltered corner to sit down and rest, I am so tired that my lips are purple." β
Wanwan smiled: "It's okay, madam, shall we go home?" β
Ah Fu nodded, and slowly walked out with Wanwan.
The road out of the palace was really unimpeded, and Afu saw the streets of the capital during the curfew for the first time, and the bustling streets in the past could suddenly be seen at a glance, which made her a little novel.
The burdens and baskets that were inconvenient for the wandering pawns to take away were placed on the side of the road with a big smile, giving Afu a sense of security that "there is no road left behind".
It was already the beginning of the hour, but Shuyu hadn't slept yet, and stayed alone in the Rongdong Courtyard, holding the book and reading it with relish.
As soon as Ah Fu pushed the door, his gaze fell on Ah Fu across the page, but he was quite surprised: "Back?" β
Afu smiled: "Why doesn't the husband sleep?" β
"Because of the little prince's affairs, tomorrow will be the court, and there is no need to get up early. Ning Zhi gave me this book, it's been a month, and I finally have time to read it through. What happened to the concubine? β
Afu sighed, came to sit down beside him, and gently rubbed her temples: "Niangniang has a strong temperament and doesn't want to show her cowardice in front of outsiders, but the little prince is the meat that fell from his body, how can he not be in pain." β
Shu Yu frowned and said: "I listened to the meaning of the emperor's words at noon, and it has been an accident for several days, because I was investigating the murderer and didn't want to startle the snake, so I didn't cause it." As a result, the real culprit has never been found, so the news has to be announced. β
"Niangniang said that the imperial doctor said that the little prince died suddenly..."
Shu Yu shook his head categorically: "The little prince has no fetal deficiencies, at this young age, where did the sudden death come from, most of it was a means in the palace." β
Afu had a flash of inspiration and said in a low voice: "Husband, Niangniang is quite angry with the palace people around her. β
Concubine Qiao has always been generous, so angry, is it because she suspects that the palace people around her have hurt the little prince? After all, the most contact with the little prince on weekdays, in addition to the masters of Taixue, is Qiao Guifei's maids and chamberlains.
Shu Yuqi said: "This is strange, it is said that the people in Concubine Qiao's palace are either the concubine's aunt, Mrs. Li Chengxiang personally trained and sent, or they were given by the emperor, these are all people close to her?" β
Afu tried to recall: "Niangniang didn't want to mention Mrs. Li, nor did she want to see the emperor..."
After the incident, Afu admired Qiao Guifei's intuition so much that she fell to the ground.
Since she doubts Mrs. Li and the emperor, I'm afraid that the next step will be...
Afu hurriedly said: "Husband, Niangniang won't want to assassinate the emperor, right?" β
Shuyu was so frightened that his ears moved: "Nonsense! β
Seeing that Afu immediately closed his mouth, Chu Chu stared at him pitifully, Shuyu softened again, pinched Afu's nose with a bluff, and threatened in a fake manner: "Dare to say this kind of thing!" β
Afu knew that she had lost her words, and she held her mouth in a panic.
Shu Yu deliberately diverted the topic, and mentioned the source of his good mood today: "Although the little prince is dying, and Sister Yuemei is sad, but in the end, Daddy can't accept that servant." β
Ah Fu nodded, and the figures of the two people on the Double Wild Goose Pagoda appeared in her mind again, and she couldn't help but say: "I don't know what the difference is with that man, today my brother and sister and I saw my father-in-law take her to the Double Wild Goose Pagoda." β
Shu Yu's eyes widened: "Twin Wild Goose Pagoda? Up? β
Afu nodded worriedly, it didn't seem to be a good stubble.
Shu Yu visibly ignited a raging rage with his naked eye, and slapped the notebook on the table.
Monkey business! Daddy has never taken Auntie to the Double Wild Goose Pagoda, how could he make an exception for that servant?
Master Mu's outer room, Zhu Shuomeng, and this man'er are all born by foxes, how can they confuse people?
Afu held Shuyu's hand and persuaded softly: "Don't worry, husband, as long as Man'er can't pass the door for a day, this matter can still be turned around." The matter of the little prince was still early in the past, and there were many variables. β
Shuyu gritted his teeth, Mo said that he couldn't get the door, even if he passed the door, there was that servant who felt good!
He was hating, and suddenly heard Afu's very calm voice sound: "Husband, Concubine Qiao is the little prince who has been pregnant in the palace for more than two years. Looking at others, it seems that there is no later than this. Now that we've been married for more than two years, will we... Am I a person who can't get pregnant? If this is the case, it is better for the husband to take a room and spread out as soon as possible. β
Shu Yu looked up in surprise and saw a little tear hidden in Afu Gujing's eyes, so he couldn't help but sigh and pulled her into his arms.
His chin rested against her smooth and cold forehead, and he whispered, "How come? The government doctor, the imperial doctor, no one has ever said that you can't have children, right? We're still young. What nonsense is spreading branches, people are not dogs, one litter at a time. β
Afu's eyes were sour, but there were no tears, she said fiercely: "Husband, if I have no children, I will be one of the seven..."
Shu Yu chuckled: "Silly girl, the law also says that anyone who mourns for his aunt must not be suspended." The laws are all written by people, and if someone hits me in the face with the law, I won't do it. β
"But ....."
Xiang Yan's doll has already been born, although there has been no correspondence, and I don't know if it is a man or a woman, but in the end, Li Wei got a child with Xiang's blood.
Qian Duoer entered the palace last year and is pregnant this year.
Ah Fu only felt that her sisters and sisters in a similar situation seemed to be the only one who was a hen that could not lay eggsβshe knew that there were people in the house who called her that in private.
Shu Yu didn't know how to persuade her, after all, this matter could not be solved by persuasion.
I didn't want to persuade her to go to the bed as before, so I had to hold her in my arms and coax her softly.
As long as he is good enough to her, she won't think about things that shouldn't be done and do evil things that shouldn't be done, right?
Shu Yu said: "When Qing Yan was born in Xiangyuan, his body was badly damaged, and Wen Po said that he had several stitches that day, and now his body is covered with lines, which is very scary." So giving birth later is also a blessing from God, don't you say? β
Afu secretly recorded the big event that Qingyan's body was ruined, and secretly said that she didn't know when Shuyu went to Qingyan's room again, while thinking, if she knew which year she would be able to get pregnant, what worry would she have?
I'm afraid that I won't have children and grandchildren in my life!
It's just that she also knows that Shu Yu has nothing to say to comfort her.
But this time, Shuyu did not mention the matter of "passing Xiangyuan" as in the past, so that Afu always had a hidden worry in her heart that she couldn't get over, and she kept making trouble with sleepiness, and the two of them tossed until the early hours of the morning.
The two slept until the afternoon of the second day, Afu got up first, and Shuyu was still asleep on the couch.
Yuan Niang quietly stuffed a letter in Afu's hand again, and her eyes hidden behind her sagging eyelids stared nervously at Afu's movements.
Ah Fu was helpless, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and tore open the envelope, bluffing Yuan Niang out of the bedroom in a panic, for fear that Shuyu would wake up suddenly.
This time the letter was very short, mainly because Jin Qing had already run away, and Jin Heng was far away on the frontier, so he couldn't help much, but Tuo Afu helped to take care of it from time to time.
In the end, he only used a sentence of pen and ink, and laughed: "Sister Fu has really grown up, and she has also pulled the red line for the juniors." It's just that now that the fourth brother is still in office, there is nothing else to think, so there is no need to bother. β
Afu folded the letter and returned it to Yuan Niang, a little relieved and a little sad.
He was really not happy to marry Gu Shuer, sure enough.
After sitting for a while, Afu whispered: "Pass the rice, the husband will wake up when he wants to come." β
Yuan Niang answered and went down. Afu sat alone and was distracted, thinking about how to explain it to Gu Shuer tactfully, without hurting the little girl's sincerity.
Shu Yu really got up soon after, and this sleep was sore, and Ah Fu hurriedly served him to take a bath, and tossed all the way before sitting down at the dining table.
