Chapter 137: The Jedi Strikes Back
On the way back, Wang Linlang was thinking hard about how to deal with the imperial doctor.
As soon as I entered the Zilan Palace, I happened to see Pei Yun'er pruning flowers and plants in the yard, so she smiled and said: "Yun'er, come and drink a cup of tea, I just want to embroider a baby's belly pocket, you come to help me see what kind of tricks are good." ”
Pei Yun'er is a little accomplished in needlework, and when she heard her say this, she also smiled and said: "Such a trivial matter, when the time comes, the Shangfu Bureau will naturally make a dozen and send it, does my sister still work hard herself?" ”
Wang Linlang said with a smile: "The one sent by the Shangfu Bureau is different after all, I just think that now that I have time, I should make a few things by myself." ”
Pei Yun'er washed her hands in the basin brought by the palace maid, and followed her into the main hall, while asking, "Does my sister have a favorite color?" ”
Wang Linlang ordered the palace maid to take out a few patterns, pointed to the top and said: "I don't have any preference, but the first thing I think about is to make a poinsettia, do you say it's better to use five blessings to be auspicious or a hundred butterflies to wear flowers?" ”
Pei Yun'er looked at the pattern for a moment, and said with a smile: "I think it's still good luck and good luck." If you get a princess, it is suitable for a hundred butterflies to wear flowers, but a blessed person like my sister may be a little prince! ”
Wang Linlang raised his chin and smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. At this time, a palace maid came over with tea and put it on the table, and saw that the two of them had drawings in their hands, so they were afraid of getting wet, so they put the tea on the table first and withdrew.
Wang Linlang said: "Then Wufu is auspicious, and I will ask my sister to help me choose embroidery thread later." ”
As he spoke, he put the drawings aside, and saw that the tea cup was placed on the table next to Pei Yun'er, and said with a smile: "The people in this room are becoming more and more unreliable, so do you bring the tea and put it on the side like this?" - I'm too lazy to move, so my sister will bring it for me. ”
Pei Yun'er saw that the tea was a whole pot and did not pour it into the tea cup, so she stood up, poured two cups, walked over and handed one of them to Wang Linlang, took the other one herself, and the two continued to sit and talk.
After a while, Wang Linlang suddenly covered his stomach and got up: "Oh, I'm ...... I suddenly had some pain in my stomach......"
She is pregnant with a dragon fetus in her belly, which is very precious. Pei Yun'er was also anxious for a while, and while helping her lie down on the couch, she was busy and shouted loudly to the palace maid to hurry up and ask the imperial doctor.
It wasn't Imperial Doctor Liang who came. Wang Linlang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't ask him to diagnose his pulse, but suddenly pointed to the teacup she had just drunk on the side and said, "Check it quickly, there is something in this water, I ...... I seem to be red......"
The imperial doctor picked up the teacup and sniffed it, dipped a little more in his mouth and tasted it, and said with great certainty: "There is saffron in this tea!" ”
When I went to touch her pulse again, something was not quite right. Hearing Wang Linlang say that she saw red, she was almost sure that the fetus in her womb could not be saved.
At this time, Wang Linlang was about to make a fuss, crying and pulling Pei Yun'er's sleeve and not letting go: "Why does my sister want to harm me, that is, she looks down on me, and she should be more tolerant of His Majesty's heirs, how can she do such a thing......"
Pei Yun'er was annoyed when she heard it: "Wang Linlang, you speak cleanly, why did I hurt you?" The tea was prepared by your personal palace maid, I just poured a cup for you, why did I hurt you? ”
In front of the imperial doctor, Wang Linlang was still crying with pear blossoms and rain, and took Pei Yun'er straight to the pit: "In this Zilan Palace, how can I treat my sister poorly, if my sister is unhappy because she thinks I have dominated Your Majesty, I will persuade Your Majesty to go to you, why is my sister so ......"
As soon as she made such a fuss, she put all the blame on Pei Yun'er. This Pei Yun'er is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she has long suspected that Wang Linlang's pregnancy is strange, and in a fit of anger, she tore Wang Linlang's hand away: "Okay, you slander me like this, I'll go to the concubine to reason!" ”
After that, he ran out of the Zilan Palace, without delaying for a moment, and ran straight to the Penglai Palace.
Wang Linlang was still pretending to be sick here, and there was an imperial doctor watching, she didn't have time to order someone to stop her, and watched Pei Yun'er run out of her house.
The concubine Niangniang flipped through the account book with one hand, pulled twice on the abacus with the other, and was waiting in the side hall, and it happened that she came to the door.
Pei Yun'er ran all the way with her sideburns scattered, drenched in sweat, her little face was flushed, a hanging bead on her head was twisted into a ball, her skirt was stained with a lot of mud and dust, and she didn't even bring a palace maid, so she broke into Penglai Palace.
Yuzhu greeted her out, saw this and hurriedly supported her, poured another glass of water for her to drink, and said: "Miss Pei slow, don't choke, say something slowly, don't worry." ”
As soon as she tilted her neck, she poured water into her throat, gasped for breath twice, and then said, "I want to see the concubine." ”
Yuzhu was afraid that she would choke, so she thoughtfully patted her on the back and helped her smooth out before saying, "Don't worry, the slave will take you there." ”
The concubine Niangniang had been waiting in the side hall for a long time, and when she saw Pei Yun'er coming in, she put down the abacus and account book in her hand, "It turned out to be Pei Yunu, sit down." ”
Pei Yun'er didn't sit down, but gasped twice, and knelt in front of her: "The royal daughter Pei has grievances, ask the concubine to be the master!" ”
The concubine nodded quietly. Just now, she was still betting with fennel pothos who Wang Linlang would choose, and fennel also insisted that Wang Linlang would choose Liu Qingqing, and it seemed that she picked this Pei Yun'er easily.
She raised her hand slightly, "What's the matter, let's talk about it, if there is really any grievance, this palace is in charge of the sixth palace, and naturally I want to seek justice for you." ”
Pei Yun'er opened her mouth and directly threw a bombshell: "Yun'er wants to expose Wang Linlang for pretending to be pregnant, and then designed to frame Yun'er, saying that Yun'er caused her to have a miscarriage!" ”
The concubine frowned slightly: "Pei Yun'er, you said that Wang Cairen's pregnancy is fake, is there any evidence?" ”
"Evidence ......" Pei Yun'er was originally not sure, but when she heard that Wang Linlang framed herself with safflower, she estimated that Wang Linlang would definitely not take such a big risk with the child in her belly, so she became more and more sure of this guess.
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Niangniang has her own skilled and trustworthy old imperial doctor, and after careful inspection, you will naturally know whether what Yun'er said is true or false." ”
The fact that she was pregnant was a smokescreen thrown by the concubine herself, of course she knew that what Pei Yun'er said was true, so she groaned and didn't speak.
Pei Yun'er saw that her face was so calm, she didn't care about Wang Linlang's abortion at all, and she didn't ask how she designed to frame her, but first asked what evidence there was to prove that Wang Linlang's fetus was fake, and she muttered a little in her heart.
She couldn't guess what the concubine was thinking for a while, so she threw out another thing: "Niangniang, Yun'er also found that Wang Linlang and the father-in-law of the Shangshi Bureau had some things that no one could see!" ”
At the mention of the Shang Shi Bureau, the concubine suddenly remembered the rabbit that ran to the Taiye pool for some reason, and immediately sat up straight, her eyes shot sharply at her, and asked: "What have you seen, don't hide a word, say it carefully!" ”
Pei Yun'er frowned slightly, as if she was trying to recall. After thinking for a moment, he spoke: "At noon a few days ago, I saw Wang Linlang near Qingxiao Gate, sneakily stuffing a purse into a father-in-law's hand, I don't know what it contains, but it looks heavy, it is probably gold!" ”
The concubine's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and she hurriedly asked, "Can you see clearly, who is the father-in-law who took the purse, do you recognize it?" ”
Pei Yun'er said: "Yun'er didn't see it clearly before, so when Wang Linlang left, she deliberately followed behind the father-in-law, and saw the father-in-law go to the Shangshi Bureau, and looked back left and right before entering, so Yun'er saw his face." I'm afraid he'll find out. Yun'er didn't dare to get too close, and vaguely looked like Jiulu's father-in-law. ”
Jiulu?
This Daming Palace is named after numbers, from Dashou to Shiquan, including the more top-notch, Liufu around His Majesty and Qixi around her, these ten are all brought from the East Palace, and they have been under her for a long time, so they are more convenient to use.
That Jiulu was indeed placed in the Shang Food Bureau, and the main task was to watch those cooks for her. Could it be that only a few months after entering the Daming Palace, the people under his command rebelled?
If this is the case, the entire Shangshi Bureau is already about to get out of control.
The concubine's dark eyes shrank slightly, and they were fleeting.
She tapped her fingers lightly on the teacup and asked, "What day did you see it?" ”
Pei Yun'er thought for a while and said with great certainty: "Four days ago, it was the day when the two highnesses had an accident. ”
"Can you see it really, really Jiulu?"
Pei Yun'er hesitated to look at it and replied, "I'm not sure, Yun'er has only met Jiulu's father-in-law twice, but it looks like it." ”
The concubine lowered her eyes and glanced at the tea that had cooled in the cup, and ordered: "Pothos, take the imperial maid Pei to the side hall to rest, no one is allowed to approach without the instructions of the palace-the eating and drinking items at the entrance should also be paid special attention." ”
When Pei Yun'er heard her say this, she knew that she was going to be under house arrest in Penglai Hall by the noble concubine for the time being. But it's okay, judging from the current situation, she shook out so many things about Wang Linlang, maybe Wang Linlang is trying to kill her at this time, but it is much safer in Penglai Palace.
Originally, she was still a little hesitant before she came, the concubine Niangniang treated Wang Linlang very well these days, if she really had the heart to protect Wang Linlang, I am afraid it would be difficult for her to leave Penglai Hall alive today.
But judging from the performance of the concubine Niangcai, she didn't seem to trust Wang Linlang as much as she imagined, on the contrary, she even faintly gloated. Especially when she said about the Shangshi Bureau, the performance of the concubine was not a fraud at all.
Instead of honestly accepting Wang Linlang's slander, her ending is just to enter the cold palace or die directly. But she seized the opportunity to tell the concubine Niangniang, she could die, or she could die and live later.
Perhaps, she won the bet this time.
