Chapter 127: True and False Pregnancy
A few days after the excerpt was handed over, the prince Xiao Shuo was ordered by the sage to be imprisoned in Dali Temple, which made people sigh, this is really a turn of feng shui.
As soon as Song Wenyu got out of the court, he hurried home. As soon as I stepped into the room, I saw Ah Jin sitting upright in the room, doing his own thing wholeheartedly, or reading a book, or playing the piano, or serving flowers and plants, as usual.
Every time he sees such a picture, Song Wenyu feels very relieved.
His footsteps suddenly stopped in front of the door, which surprised Ah Jin. She raised her head and found that Song Wenyu was staring at her affectionately, and the look in her eyes was so gentle that she seemed to wrap her in a warm embrace. Ah Jin's face flushed, a little uncomfortable, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Prince...... He was imprisoned in Dali Temple. The first thing he thought of when he came out of the imperial study was to share the news with Ah Jin.
When Ah Jin heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "This is a great thing. It's hard at the beginning, but at least you've been busy for so many days, and you're finally getting some eyebrows. ”
After Ah Jin finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the news that Ah Zhen brought back that day. She looked at the book in her hand and couldn't help but feel a little distracted. If she thinks correctly, the queen mother is afraid that she will have to make a move in the next few days.
Thinking of this, Ah Jin couldn't help but look up at Song Wenyu, and stopped talking. Song Wenyu saw that her expression was strange, so he asked, "Why don't you think you're very happy?" ”
"I don't know if I'm going to be happy or not. There is no final outcome to this matter, and I am always uneasy. Because of the matter of Meng Yidi, Ah Jin didn't know whether he should talk to Song Wenyu or not, so he had to half-truthfully express his worries.
"Well, that's what I thought too. So I'm going to go to Yamen later, and King Run summoned me and Ah Teng to go over. Let's talk about what we should do next. ”
"That's fine." Ah Jin nodded subconsciously when he heard him say this. If there is anyone who dares to relax the most at this time, it must be Xiao Zhan. After all, he has forced his opponent to the edge of the cliff, and he is just one step away from making the opponent die without a place to bury.
Ah Jin couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the young man who used to smile so warmly, but now he even had a cold light in his eyes.
As Ah Jin thought, after Xiao Zhan returned to the Runwang Mansion, he was not relieved by the decision of today's saint. In his opinion, the sage was just imprisoning the crown prince, and he did not have the intention of killing. This forced him to start thinking about whether he should add another fire.
Feiyun stayed by his side, and when he saw him meditating, he asked, "What is the prince thinking?" ”
Xiao Zhan glanced at Feiyun, "Master, haven't you always known what this king is thinking." ”
Feiyun lowered his eyes and said, "It's not easy for things to develop to this extent. If you act rashly now, I am afraid that all your achievements will be wasted. ”
"yes. But if I don't move, I'm really worried that my high-ranking saint father will only end up with the board raised high and gently lowered. Xiao Zhan rubbed his eyebrows and said.
"If the saint uses this matter to weaken the Zhu family, even if Xiao Shuo still occupies the position of the crown prince in the future, he will not be able to be as proud as before. That's why he didn't kill Xiao Shuo. ”
In the end, he still couldn't believe Xiao Duo's confession. Xiao Duo and I, the two brothers, are really failures as sons of people. One is nine deaths and one life, and the other is blocking his life and telling the truth, but he can't match this sister-in-law who is raised under his knees...... I don't know if it's because he's getting old and getting soft-hearted, or if he's getting old and he's getting stupid. ”
“…… What does the prince want to do? Do you want to move Liu Yi's account? Feiyun pursed his lips and asked.
Xiao Zhan shook his head, sighed and said, "It's not the time yet. Let's wait for some time, my father's mind is ambiguous now, and he hastily handed it over, which made it back. If you can't do it, the prince won't say it, and he will lose a killer feature in vain. ”
"One more thing. It's the news that his subordinates just got today," Feiyun looked at Xiao Zhan with some doubts in his heart, "The crown princess has been summoned by Zhu Liangxin to Jichang Palace for several days. ”
"Where is the little Meng family?" Xiao Zhan stretched out his left index finger, stroked his lower lip, and asked with a slight squint.
"She has been staying in the East Palace, never left, and she has not been summoned by Zhu Liangxin."
"That's nature. Zhu Liangxin thinks very highly of himself, and he has never liked these concubines, not to mention that Xiao Meng's family used such means to get today's position. Zhu Liangxin was willing to let her enter the door of the East Palace, completely for the sake of Meng Shangshu's face. In this way, Zhu Liangxin summoned Meng Yidi to serve in her Jichang Palace at this time, there must be some reason......" Xiao Zhan stood up and paced in the room, then sat down again, "After Abi's matter is revealed, will the matter of sending medicine to the East Palace be broken?" ”
"Well, half a month ago, we didn't send medicine to the East Palace anymore."
"It's only half a month...... There should be nothing to fear. Xiao Zhan touched his chin, a little relieved, and suddenly he pulled the corner of his lips and smiled, "Unless, Zhu Liangxin wants Meng Yidi to pretend to be pregnant." If so, things will be fun. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Feiyun.
……
The news that the prince was escorted to Dali Temple soon spread to Jichang Palace, and Zhu Liangxin looked calm, but the trembling hands hidden in her sleeves revealed her true thoughts. Seeing this, Mama Kong helped her behind her, and whispered in her ear: "Niangniang, you must resist, the saint is coming." ”
"Hongu knows." Zhu Liangxin took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Wusheng who strode into the room, and saluted: "The concubine has seen a saint. ”
"You get up," Xiao Wusheng glanced at her, and after saying this, he walked straight to the main seat on one side and sat down, and the main seat on the other side was left to Zhu Liangxin, "We husband and wife don't have to be stubborn, you can talk to me today." Let some irrelevant people step down. ”
When Mama Kong heard this, she went out with a group of palace people who were waiting in Jichang Palace. In the end, the king's attendant also walked out of the main hall, the door had just been closed, Zhu Liangxin sat on the side of the main seat and looked at the closed door, and asked as if dreamingly: "What does the saint want to talk about with the concubine?" ”
"I guess the queen already knew. Shuo'er is now on her way to Dali Temple. ”
As soon as Xiao Wusheng's words fell, Zhu Liangxin couldn't help laughing, "The saint spoke really tactfully today, since this is the case, the concubine also said it tactfully," as she spoke, she looked at Xiao Wusheng, and asked in a faint trembling voice: "Dare to ask the sage, Shuo'er is gone, can she come back." ”
Xiao Wusheng didn't answer her question, he looked at him in front of him, and his tone was so calm that Zhu Liangxin felt cold, "He can't come back, I don't count if I say it, and it doesn't count if you say it." If the reason for release given by Dali Temple can convince the public, he will be able to return. It is true that he is the crown prince, but the Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people...... What's more, he's just a prince. ”
"Heh," what a high-sounding reason, Zhu Liangxin looked at Xiao Wusheng, the husband and wife who had been in the same boat for more than several years, at this moment, they only saw indifference in each other's eyes, "Sage, he is not only the prince, he is also our son." ”
"Our son? It turns out that the queen still remembers that Shuo'er is our son...... I thought that over the years, you had only taught him how to ascend to the supreme throne, but you had forgotten to teach him the most basic principles of human ethics. ”
This was said very seriously, Rao is Zhu Liangxin had already cultivated a body of steel and iron, and his face changed, "The emperor is blaming his concubines for having no way to teach his sons?" Sage Confucius once said that if the son does not teach, the father will fail. The emperor is now all to blame on the head of the concubine, could it be that the concubine is Shuo'er's father? ”
"Yes, Shuo'er has become like this, I am responsible, and you have too," Xiao Wusheng stood up and was about to walk out.
Zhu Liangxin saw that he was about to leave without saying a few words, so he couldn't help but stand up and sarcastically say a few more words, "Where is the saint going?" The concubine guessed, you are going to the noble man again. ”
Xiao Wusheng didn't answer her, didn't turn around, and left Jichang Palace directly. Zhu Liangxin looked at his indifferent back, and his eyes couldn't help but be full of tears. When Mama Kong came in, she happened to see her staring in a daze in the direction the emperor left.
Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
"Niangniang, ...... you" Mama Kong stepped forward and wanted to persuade a few words, but she didn't know where to start.
"Ah Shuo has been imprisoned in Dali Temple, he doesn't come all year round, it's rare to come here once, just to tell me this," Zhu Liangxin laughed as he said. Mama Kong frowned at her lightly, her eyes were full of worry, "The two of us are really a good couple who are ruthless and unrighteous......"
"Niangniang, this time the prince was accused of being the mastermind behind the Huainan County case, which is equivalent to being accused of harboring evil intentions and misbehaving...... If it is said more seriously by someone with a heart, it is to ......"
"Why would he do such a thing!" Zhu Liangxin interrupted Mama Kong's words sharply, not wanting to hear those two words, "He is a son-in-law!" He's the crown prince! Waiting for the emperor for a hundred years is to be in peace, why do you want to do such a thing? ”
"But...... It is also a fact that the prince and the Zhu family have had too close contacts in recent years. Mama Kong sighed and didn't say any more. Forming a party for personal gain has always been the most taboo for every emperor, but Xiao Shuo, who is biased, did this.
Zhu Liangxin clenched her fists and didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, she heard her say faintly: "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has been unhappy for the past few days, and the palace is worried, so she was left in Jichang Palace to recuperate." After waiting for a few days, her condition is better, and Mama, you will invite the Wei Yuan of Xinglin Yuan to come over for a consultation. ”
"Yes." Mama Kong answered and retreated.
……
Since Meng Yidi went to Jichang Palace, he has never returned. For several days, it was Shen Yu who was taking care of the main hall of the East Palace. Suddenly, one day, the news that Xiao Shuo was imprisoned in Dali Temple came here, and the East Palace exploded.
Shen Yu was holding the jade pendant given by Meng Yidi in her hand, and was thinking about how to complete the things entrusted by Meng Yidi, when a little maid suddenly walked in front of her. Shen Yu glanced at her and found that it was the red jade that had been serving Xiao Meng's side all the year round.
"What's the matter with the Red Jade Girl looking for me today?"
Shen Yu was not familiar with the one who lived in the side hall, except that he knew that she was Meng Yidi's own sister, and he didn't know anything else. Therefore, it is not possible to talk about whether there is a good impression or disgust.
Probably didn't expect that the maid who was waiting by Meng Yidi's side would talk to her so kindly, Hongyu raised her head and glanced at Shen Yu in some surprise, "Miss Shen Yu, my mother-in-law invites you to come over." ”
"Oh," Shen Yu raised his head, looked in the direction of the side hall, and said, "Then let's go." ”
Seeing this, Hongyu hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.
In the side hall, Meng Yihan sat in the room in a blue costume, looking at the falling flowers in the courtyard, Shen Yuyi looked up at this picture, and only felt that it was so pleasing to the eye.
"Niangniang, Miss Shen Yu is here," Hongyu stopped a few steps away from Meng Yihan and bowed her head respectfully.
When Meng Yihan heard this, he turned his head to look at the two of them sideways and said, "Miss Shen Yu, please take a seat." Ruby, go get some snacks. ”
"Yes," Ruby replied, turning and leaving. Shen Yu glanced at her hurried steps. I thought, I don't know if this snack will be served in the end, and it is true to deliberately branch the red jade.
"Niangniang," Shen Yu came to sit down opposite Meng Yihan, acting extremely respectfully.
Meng Yihan looked at Shen Yu's appearance quietly, and the smile on his face became even brighter, "I have long heard that Miss Shen Yu is a symbol of beauty, and when I saw it today, it was really so." ”
Shen Yu didn't know why Meng Yihan would say such a thing, so he could only respond carefully: "Niang Niang praised it falsely." ”
"The girl is not only beautiful, but I heard that she is also a disciple of Wei Yuanzheng? When the concubine was still in the boudoir, he had heard that this Wei Yuan was strict and old-fashioned, and those who could enter his eyes must be very remarkable, and the girl did not have to be modest. ”
When Shen Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "Wei Yuan is a little more serious on weekdays, but he takes good care of the juniors in Xinglin Garden, and the slave maid has always been very grateful in his heart. ”
"It's really strange to say. The concubine heard that her sister was summoned by the queen to Jichang Palace to serve the sick. In that case, why did my sister leave Miss Shen Yu in the East Palace? ”
"Mother, the slave and maid are not very clear about this matter. At the beginning, the queen summoned Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to Jichang Palace, and she didn't say anything about serving the sick or not. ”
"Oh, then someone must have spread the rumor," Meng Yihan said with a smile. The two talked for a long time, but they still didn't see Ruby coming. Shen Yu secretly sighed in his heart, and was even more sure that Meng Yihan would go to the Three Treasures Hall today for nothing. I only heard Meng Yihan's words turn around, and talked about the situation in the East Palace today, "The concubine heard that the prince has been imprisoned in Dali Temple, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”
"Hui Niangniang's words should be true. Now in the East Palace...... It's all already spreading. ”
"...... like this" Meng Yihan muttered thoughtfully, without any worry about the crown prince in his words, "Girl, what do you say we should do now, so as to solve the current predicament of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"This ...... The slave doesn't know ......" When Meng Yihan asked this, his tone was as simple as a little girl who didn't know anything about the world. Shen Yu looked at her with a complicated expression, but still replied cautiously, "It's really touching that Niangniang cares so much about His Royal Highness the Prince. It's just that...... I'm afraid it's the people in the harem, so I can't help it......"
"Yes." Meng Yihan asked rhetorically, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was asking Shen Yu. Shen Yu lowered his head, not daring to answer casually, but just accompanied Meng Yihan to be silent.
"Miss Shen Yu, I've been feeling flustered and short of breath for the past few days. After chatting with you, I really felt a lot more refreshed. Can I ask you to come and talk in the future? ”
The slave was terrified. If the mother is willing, where is the reason why the slave is unwilling. Shen Yu listened to her words, hurriedly knelt down, and replied.
"That's good." Meng Yihan smiled slightly, never revealing his true thoughts.
After Shen Yu came out of the side hall, he only felt that his legs and feet were weak and his steps were vain. She took a few steps forward, stood holding on to the pillar, and couldn't help but think of the conversation between Meng Yihan and herself just now.
This woman is really terrifying.
Every word she said was clearly a temptation, but what her real purpose was, Shen Yu couldn't guess. With such a city, how can Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess fight. Shen Yu glanced up at the sky and found that the crescent moon was like a hook, and at some point it was already hanging high in the night sky.
The prince has been imprisoned in Dali Temple for more than five days, but the things that Meng Yidi entrusted to him have not yet been completed. Shen Yu bit his lip, and suddenly determined his mind to complete Meng Yidi's entrustment.
……
Ah Jin has a headache, Shen Yu will make an appointment to meet him at this juncture, and he doesn't have to think about it to know that it is for Meng Yidi. But for this woman, she has always stayed away.
Ah Zhen saw that she had been frowning, so she said, "Since the girl is so embarrassed, you can not go to the appointment." ”
"Shen Yu has always been cautious, if I don't go this time, if she really has something important to entrust, wouldn't I be the one who broke the big thing." Ah Jin said as he picked up the note in his hand and burned it clean.
The smoke had not cleared, and her expression was extremely solemn. Ah Zhen pursed her lips and said, "But if Miss Shen asks you for the crown princess, what should you do?" ”
"If it weren't for the injury of the muscles and bones, it wouldn't be difficult to push the boat down the river to help," Ah Jin lowered his head and answered softly, "I'm afraid that even I can't do what she wants to entrust." ”
"Wouldn't that be better, if it's too difficult, just refuse," Ah Zhen thought about it, and couldn't help but say: "This time I met with Miss Shen, and asked the girl to persuade Miss Shen to leave and go back to the Medicine King Valley." The more she gets involved in these things, the more dissatisfied the Medicine King Valley will be with us. ”
"Even if she doesn't get involved in these things, the Medicine King Valley will not be satisfied with us. You don't know about the grievances between your ancestors. Ah Jin looked at Ah Zhen amusedly, and reached out and tapped her forehead.
The two were talking happily, and Song Wenyu walked in, full of worries. Seeing this, Ah Jin waved his hand to let Ah Zhen go out first, "What's wrong?" Look at your solemn face? ”
Song Wenyu looked at Ah Jin, and stopped talking, he first stood up and paced in the room, and then sat down. It was rare for Ah Jin to see him look so chaotic, and his heart sank inch by inch.
"Is there something going on in the palace?" Ah Jin asked tentatively.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Song Wenyu's body stiffen. After a while, he bowed slightly. Looking at him like this, Ah Jin somehow felt distressed and hateful, "But is it involved in the Huainan County case?" ”
"I don't know," Song Wenyu shook his head, he had just returned from the Runwang Mansion, and he also knew that what Xiao Zhan said to him was just speculation. But if this matter comes true, when the day it is exposed, that person will be guilty of bullying the king, "Today, in the next dynasty, King Run told me something...... He said that Da Meng had been invited to Jichang Palace by the Empress for several days. Before, it was said that it was for the queen mother, but now the wind direction has changed somehow, and it is said that it is because Da Meng's body is too weak, and the queen mother is worried, so she left her in Jichang Palace to recuperate. ”
"You suspect that there is deception in it." Ah Jin looked at Song Wenyu's frowning appearance, and his voice was a little colder.
"Hmm." Song Wenyu nodded lightly and didn't say anything else.
Seeing him look so depressed, Ah Jin only felt a nameless fire rushing up to his heart. She took a deep breath and looked up at the roof, "Wen Yu, are you afraid that the queen will do something to mess up your position, or are you afraid that the Da Meng clan will be used by others, and it will be difficult to protect yourself after the East Window incident." ”
Song Wenyu was stunned when he heard this. He had known that Ah Jin was intelligent, so he was not surprised that she was able to guess his thoughts. It's just that the question is so acute that he doesn't know how to answer it for a while.
Seeing that he was silent, Ah Jin suddenly smiled desolately, "I understand," and as she spoke, she got up and walked out of the house.
Seeing this, Song Wenyu hurriedly grabbed her, "Ah Jin, it's not like you think." ”
"What do I think?" Ah Jin turned his head to look at Song Wenyu, "If you can, will you help the Da Meng clan?" You just have to answer me, yes or no. ”
“…… I ......" Song Wenyu clutched Ah Jin's sleeve tightly, but couldn't say a word.
Ah Jin nodded, and pulled his sleeve out of his hand little by little, "At least, you didn't lie to me. ”
"Ah Jin!" Song Wenyu was afraid that if she left, she would never return, and shouted a little anxiously: "Me and her have already passed." ”
"I know," Ah Jin replied angrily, with a somewhat nasal voice, "I just went out for a walk, and I didn't want to go back forever." ”
When Song Wenyu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That'...... Shall I go with you? ”
"No need, you can wait at home for me to come back." Ah Jin shook his head, and after a few words, he left with Ah Zhen.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the courtyard of the East Wing, Ah Zhen asked in a low voice, "The girl is planning to go to the appointment." ”
"Well," Ah Jin nodded and said with a wry smile: "Didn't you see the appearance of Song Dalangjun just now." This time, I had to go to the appointment. At least we can figure out the current situation. ”
