Chapter 173: Jiangnan in a Dream
Two months have passed in a flash, and it has come to the late spring of March, seeing the grass growing and the warbler flying, and the peanut trees, Li Baolin's body in the long pavilion is like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, and it is irretrievably decaying day by day. .vod.
The imperial doctor came to Penglai Hall from time to time to report it, and every time it was bad news. Nianyun did not hesitate, and the hundred-year-old mountain ginseng was sent over one by one, but it was useless.
Finally on a sunny morning, a little palace maid in the long pavilion hurriedly came to Penglai Hall to ask to see the concubine. At that time, the concubine was counting the flowers in the pot under the eaves, and the little palace maid knelt on the steps of the white marble, the sunlight jumped on the sweat on the tip of her nose, and she opened her mouth with a little dazed look, Li Baolin, it's gone.
Nian Yun's eyes froze for a moment when he looked down at the flower, and the silk handkerchief in his hand gently floated to the ground.
The long pavilion is as quiet as ever, a cluster of primroses in front of the steps is blooming just right, the medicinal fragrance in the hall has not yet dispersed, as if the curtain inside will still be gently opened, and a pale and delicate figure comes out, gently covering his cough with a handkerchief.
This poor woman, life has too much suffering and torture for her, she never wanted to fight for anything, but after all, it was her life. A wisp of incense finally drifted in the corner of Daming Palace, buried in the chatter of the white-headed palace maid many years later.
The palace has arranged for the old lady to clean her body and bury her in a black lacquered cypress coffin. Nianyun walked into her dormitory, it was still too simple to arrange, the couch was empty, because she was sick, and the bedding had been cleaned up and burned by the palace maid.
Nian Yun walked to the table in front of the couch with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and saw a small Xue Tao note spread out on it, with only one sentence of poetry on it, Juan Xiu's willow body Xiaokai, when the last two words were written, the tip of the pen trembled slightly, as if the person who wrote was so weak that he could barely hold the pen.
Fireworks in March down to Yangzhou.
After all, in this bright fireworks March, it is time for her to return to Yangzhou in her dreams.
She remembered that many years ago, maybe when Aunt Wei went down to Yangzhou, it was also a fireworks with a grass and a warbler flying in March? It's just that Aunt Wei is not as lucky as Mo Yang, she is not so easily relieved, she has been living with deep suffering.
Nian Yun looked out the window in amazement, and a small pink butterfly landed on a delicate yellow primrose, flapping its wings gently.
The two cases were already stacked with books, and they were neatly stacked, and the books on the two cases had been repaired. On the top of the white jade Maitreya Buddha paperweight, that Maitreya bare his chest and abdomen, smiling very happily.
Under the paperweight, is a stack of sprinkling gold rice paper cut into a foot square, and the top is also a neat willow body Xiaokai, copied about the "Diamond Sutra", a thick stack, I don't know how much effort she spent when she was sick.
Nian Yun only felt that her nose was a little sour, and handed the stack of scriptures to Fennel, "Go back and take it and offer it in the Buddha hall, it's hard for her to think about it." ”
The case of Li Kuang's rebellion was soon tried, and the main culprit Li Kuang and his sons and nephews were sentenced to the death penalty of beheading, and their families were all official maids and maids, and they were assigned to various palaces and palaces to do hard labor. Li Baolin, the daughter of Li Kuo, who has died, was deposed as a concubine and removed from the list of concubines in the palace, and His Majesty issued a decree that the coffin would be sent back to Yangzhou for burial.
Originally, when Li Baolin was sick, Nian Yun ordered the imperial doctor to report his condition to Penglai Hall every two days, but now Li Moyang has gone, and in the afternoon of this day, when it was time to report, it was reported that the imperial doctor was coming.
Nian Yun was a little surprised, and said, "Is the imperial doctor confused?" ”
Fennel said: "Why are you so confused, I'm afraid there is something else to report to my mother?" ”
Nian Yun ordered someone to invite him in. The imperial doctor looked left and right to see that there were no outsiders, and hesitated: "Niangniang, the minister doesn't know whether to talk about something or not." ”
Nian Yun ordered the fennel to give the seat, "Say it." ”
The imperial doctor didn't dare to sit down, and Ai Ai said for a long time: "Niangniang, recently the minister found out that the pharmacy is still ...... It's like losing some medicinal herbs. ”
Nianyun didn't understand what he meant, and the pharmacy lost the medicinal materials?
Fennel asked, "But are you a valuable herb?" ”
The imperial doctor's face became even more ugly, shook his head, and said, "It's ...... Nor is it a precious medicinal herb...... Just ......"
Nian Yun sensed that something was wrong, put down the thin son in his hand, and asked, "What the hell is going on, you can explain it clearly." ”
The imperial doctor couldn't sit still, stood up and saluted, "It's not like it was lost on the same day, and the amount is not too big, if it weren't for the medicine boy's carefulness, he wouldn't have found it at all." However, the minister carefully pondered the medicines he had lost in the past few days, which were perilla, angelica, atractylodes, skullcap, ligusticum chuanxiong, tangerine peel, incense, white peony, licorice, pot-bellied bark, and sand kernels......
Nian Yun frowned and asked, "What symptoms do these herbs treat?" ”
The imperial doctor pondered for a while, as if he had mustered up great courage, before he said: "Hui Niangniang, these herbs, taken together, are a fetal drink, mainly to treat the woman's early pregnancy fetal restlessness and unfavorable qi......
Nian Yunho stood up suddenly: "What did you say?" Fetal drink? ”
This, how is this possible? Li Chun has been staying in Penglai Hall every day recently, and he has not stayed at other concubines at all, and Sanshou of the Shang Sleep Bureau has not reported which concubine His Majesty has been fortunate with.
Nianyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the imperial doctor: "Can you ask your masters for a safe pulse?" ”
The imperial doctor bowed down and said: "The minister found out about this yesterday and has asked the palaces for peace and security, and the pulse of the masters in the palace is not unusual. ”
It's not the master, that's which palace maid. I didn't dare to ask the imperial doctor, but secretly went to find medicine by myself, because I was afraid that she would find out.
Nian Yun walked up to the imperial doctor and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”
The imperial doctor hurriedly knelt down: "The minister knows that what the minister said is true, and it is because the stakes are so important that the minister does not dare to hide it." ”
Nian Yun thought for a while, and then asked, "In your opinion, how long is the amount of medicine she stole during this period of time?" ”
The imperial doctor said: "The person who stole the medicine was very cautious, and it took five or six days to steal all the medicine, and the amount was only three or four pairs. If you are really pregnant to the point where you need to steal medicine and decoction, I am afraid it will not be enough. ”
Nianyun gestured to fennel with his eyes, fennel hurriedly took a purse and stuffed it into the hands of the imperial doctor, Nianyun said: "In this case, it is estimated that she will continue to steal, and this matter is silent, just pretend not to know, send a few more trustworthy people to guard quietly at night, if you can catch the current, you will immediately report to the palace." ”
The imperial doctor quietly pinched the purse, a heavy bag of golden beans, then tugged into his sleeve and kowtowed again, "The minister understands, thank you Niangniang." ”
After the imperial doctor left, Fennel saw that Nianyun's face was a little ugly, and hesitated to call: "Niangniang? ”
Nian Yun was silent. Fennel said: "Niangniang is worried about Your Majesty's ......"
Nian Yun shook his head slightly: "Not really, Your Majesty has been very busy these days, and he may not have the heart to pay attention to women, and this palace doesn't think that any palace maid has such skills." Besides, how could Your Majesty be so confused, if you don't even record the Shang Sleeping Bureau, even if you are pregnant with a dragon heir, you will definitely be killed according to the crime of filthy palace, and you can't keep it. ”
It took so much trouble for her and His Majesty to release their previous suspicions, and with her understanding of Li Chun, he would not be like this in such a short period of time.
If it's not Your Majesty, then there is a palace maid who is pregnant with the guards? If such a thing happens, it is a felony, and the man should be put to death, and the woman should be dragged to the pig pen.
But for some reason, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart.
She called the pothos in again and said, "Pothos, you go and notify everywhere, and see which palace maid is sick and drinking medicine in the past few days, no matter what kind of illness or medicine you drink, you will report it to the palace." ”
The man stole the medicine, so he had to decoction it. This kind of thing is not something that can be fried in a while, nor can it be done in a veil. The medicine will naturally have a medicinal smell, especially among them, there are things with a strong smell such as angelica perilla, as long as they are fried, they will definitely expose the horse's feet.
Sure enough, in the evening, the pothos went back and forth, and copied the list of people who had gone to the Shang Pharmacy in the last five or six days to see a doctor or received medicine, and she wrote it in great detail, including the year of the person who received the medicine, and what errands she was doing now. I inquired about it again, but outside the list, I didn't hear of anyone who also decocted medicine to take it by himself.
Those symptoms are nothing more than cold, heat, headaches, etc., and they are no different.
If you don't decoct the medicine yourself, then you may also go to the Shang Pharmacy to get another medicine, but in fact, the decoction is a fetal drink, so you have the opportunity to steal the medicinal materials you want.
Nian Yun carefully looked at the list again, and seriously pondered all the palace maids in this list, but the age of those who received the medicine did not match, and the youngest was almost forty years old, and it was an old aunt in the palace, which seemed unlikely.
Nian Yun picked up the list of eunuchs who had received the medicine and looked at it again, and saw that there was a little eunuch from the Taihe Hall who had received the stomach cleansing for three days in a row, and immediately frowned.
Fennel was clever, followed her gaze, and said, "Slave maid, remember, Your Majesty has also eaten this stomach cleansing powder before?" ”
Nian Yun nodded, "Bengong also remembers." At that time, His Majesty had a toothache, sores on his mouth and tongue, and bleeding gums. The medicine is very bitter, with a lot of Coptis shengdi, the effect of the fire is excellent, only boiled once, morning, noon and evening each took once, the next day it was almost better, originally opened three pairs, and then did not fry again. ”
Fennel thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Eunuchs are castrated, and their yang energy is weaker than that of ordinary men, and they are generally not easy to get angry. This stomach cleansing powder is full of bitter cold medicine, the effect is fierce, the medicine in the palace is of the best quality, how can it not be effective for three days?
Taihe Temple......
Fennel suddenly remembered something again, and the master and servant looked at each other, "That Zheng Qiaoqiao, it seems that he arranged to go to the Taihe Palace......"
Nian Yun's fingers were deeply buckled into the palm of his palm, and he was silent for a long time, and said: "Ask Sishun to arrange someone to secretly go to the Taihe Hall to keep an eye on it, and it is best to steal the medicine slag to take a look." ”
