Chapter 34: Implications
When the palace people came to report that the five princes were asking to see each other with gifts, Ming Shiyun had just drunk the fetal pills, and she was in a daze and wanted to sleep, so she couldn't even reflect who the five princes were for a while, so she waved his hand and let him in.
"Erchen greets Concubine Jue." Deliberately respectful posture, deliberately full of courtesy, and the deliberately accentuated "mother" word when speaking vaguely with a little bit of ridicule, Xiao Yingzhe made his attitude very hazy in the open, although he couldn't catch anything wrong, but he could always feel a little bit.
Ming Shiyun suddenly sobered up when she saw him, seeing that although she was older than herself, she should be her own son in terms of generation, all kinds of inexplicable emotions surged in her heart, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Although Ming Shiyun's attitude towards him was really not very good, since Xiao Yingzhe said that he came with gifts, he naturally had to make a complete number of his etiquette, and immediately pretended to bow to the gift list, and then expressed a few words of concern to the unborn imperial heir, although Ming Shiyun was not very willing to pay attention to him, but out of etiquette, he had to follow the gesture.
"Mother Jue looks in poor spirits, but after the paddock was shocked the day before yesterday, she hasn't recovered yet?"
"This palace has just taken the fetal pills, and he is a little sleepy for a while, so he doesn't worry about the five princes." Although Xiao Yingzhe's tone sounded full of concern, Ming Shiyun's reply was very cold, no matter the expression and tone were full of the meaning of sending off guests, in fact, she didn't want to show herself so obviously, but when she saw Xiao Yingzhe, she was a little unable to restrain herself.
"Oh...... So that's the case, two years ago, Erchen also went to congratulate Concubine Ru on the joy of the imperial heir, at that time Concubine Ru also said that she had just taken the fetal pill, so she was a little sleepy, and it seemed that the medicine would inevitably have some side effects. Replying to her with a faint smile, Xiao Yingzhe got up and saluted again, ready to leave, "Since Concubine Jue needs to rest well, Erchen won't bother much, I hope that Concubine Jue will take care of her body, don't be ......like Concubine Ru."
Ming Shiyun just nodded casually, and didn't say more, so she let Xiao Yingzhe leave, and after making sure that he had left the front hall, Ming Shiyun, who secretly relaxed, turned her head to find Tang Wanyi, who was waiting on the side, and was about to ask her what she thought of Xiao Yingzhe's sudden arrival, but was taken aback by her face.
"Wanyi? What's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? ”
"Ah...... The mother forgives the sin, and the slave and maid are out of order. Brought back to her senses by this voice, Tang Wanyi knelt down without thinking, and replied in a hurry, "Niangniang thinks she is sleepy, and the slave maid will wait for Niangniang to go back to the apse to rest." ”
"Huh? I ......" Ming Shiyun still wanted to say something, Tang Wanyi had already raised her head and shook her head gently, and carefully glanced at her, she is now Ming Shiyun's confidant, so it naturally makes sense, so Ming Shiyun also stopped her voice, nodded and let her help herself into the apse.
Carefully closing the door, and waving away the palace maids who were waiting, leaving only Ziling alone, Tang Wanyi turned around and threw herself at Ming Shiyun's feet, with a little panic in her words.
"! There's something wrong with those tocolytics! I'm afraid that Niangniang has been secretly harmed. ”
"What did you say?!" Taken aback, Ming Shiyun, who was waiting for Ziling to drink jujube tea, knocked over the teacup, Ziling was busy cleaning up the tea all over her body for her, but Ming Shiyun couldn't care about that, she only felt dizzy now, "No...... No way...... Isn't this imperial doctor the best imperial doctor in the palace that His Majesty said? The decoctions, medicines, diets, and even utensils that were sent were all carefully inspected...... And...... I've only been back to the palace for two days......"
"Niangniang didn't know, the mother concubine Ru mentioned by the five princes before was Ru Gui Concubine Niangniang, who was hit too hard by giving birth to a stillborn baby two years ago, and actually spoke disrespectfully to the emperor, and now she is placed in the cold palace, and the slave maid heard about it...... People have gone mad. ”
“…… The fifth prince just said that she also felt sleepy after taking the fetal pill, and now I am also ...... Is he reminding me? Concubine Ru's stillbirth was not an accident, it was a problem with the fetal pill, and now, is someone using the same means to deal with the child in my womb? Knowing what Tang Wanyi meant, Ming Shiyun broke out in a cold sweat, and also understood why she didn't dare to say this in the front hall, "But why should he help me?" I'm supposed to be his mother's enemy, right? Besides, where did he get all this news from? ”
"The mother concubine of the fifth prince is a gorgeous concubine, I am afraid it is not strange to know this kind of thing, as for why he wants to help you......" Tang Wanyi has been in the palace for a long time and is quite clear about the affairs of Ru Guifei, so she was able to guess the meaning of Xiao Yingzhe's words at once, but when it came to Xiao Yingzhe's purpose of reminding Ming Shiyun, she was also confused, "This ...... The slave couldn't guess. ”
