Chapter Thirty-Four: Dead and Innocent
I stood in the distance, looking at the two figures, one big and one small, and the corners of my mouth rose slightly inexplicably.
"Master? Master? ”
In the fog, I vaguely heard Wen Kite's call, so I opened my eyes dimly.
What caught my eye was the face of Wen Kite.
"Master, you are awake, you still need to go and say hello to the concubine." Wen Yuan said to me softly.
I squinted my eyes and looked at Wen Kite, and it took a long time to come back to my senses.
Wen Kite had already prepared the water for washing, she helped me up, and then waited for me to wash.
While washing, he also said to me, I heard that yesterday, the concubine Niangniang killed an aunt in Zhuo Baolin's palace, so let me be careful.
"Hmm." I nodded and responded casually, but in fact, in my heart, I was thinking about taking the pulse.
Aunt Zhao came to dress me up, and also reminded me that the concubine seemed to be in a bad mood today, and in the morning, she punished a few palace maids.
"yes, I see." I answered.
This noble concubine is probably close to Xiao Ce, and even her temperament has been assimilated by Xiao Ce.
Moody, always like to vent anger on others.
When our group arrived at the Yongxin Palace, Wen Yuan stood in front of the gate of this palace, because he couldn't go in with me, so he was worried.
"Wen Kite, don't worry, I'll come out soon." I gently patted the back of Wen Kite's cold hand.
Wen Yuan nodded, stared at me, and entered the palace gate.
When the palace maid led me to the side hall of Yongxin Palace, I found that today, the concubine Niangniang was "waiting" for me here early in the morning.
Moreover, what Aunt Zhao said is not wrong, today's mood of the concubine does not seem to be good.
Her hair was uncombed, but she was draped in strands, and she was wrapped in a red brocade cloak and sat sideways on the throne.
This wide cloak enveloped her whole body.
Don't look at her body, just look at her face, pale and haggard, not like a pregnant person, but more like a terminally ill person.
"Concubine, please say hello to the concubine." I entered the side hall and hurriedly leaned over to greet the concubine.
The concubine raised her eyes a little tiredly and glanced at me.
"Come here." Then she commanded.
I hurriedly walked in front of her, and the concubine immediately raised her hand, and Yueling on one side immediately wanted to spread the silk on the concubine's wrist.
"Stand down!"
This concubine was suddenly annoyed, and shouted angrily at Yueling.
Yueling hurriedly retreated to the side, and the concubine said to me, "Why don't you take the pulse quickly?" ”
"Yes!" I reached out and put my hand on the chaise's wrist.
And the concubine looked at me with a very solemn expression.
"How? Tell the truth, if there is a lie, this palace will cut out your tongue! Her gaze became grim.
I hung my head slightly, my heart beating fast.
The concubine should know that there is something wrong with her fetus? Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked me to take her pulse again and again.
"Guifei Niangniang, your happy pulse is a little empty!" I still had my head down.
"Bold!" When Yueling heard this, she hurriedly spoke.
The concubine turned her face sideways and looked at Yueling: "Get out!" ”
"Mother?" Yueling seemed reluctant to leave.
"Hongu told you to get out!" The concubine said, and slapped her hand on the wooden table.
Yue Ling hurriedly leaned over and exited the main hall.
"The imperial doctors in the palace all have the same mouth, saying, the same sentence, but the body of this palace, this palace itself knows, now that she is pregnant, this pregnant belly is high, but there has never been fetal movement!" After the concubine finished speaking, her eyes became very gloomy.
She said that she had quietly invited all the imperial doctors in the palace to Yongxin Palace to diagnose her pulse.
But all the imperial doctors have the same tone, which is nothing more than saying that the fetus is stable, the prince is strong, and he only needs to recuperate well, and wait for the melons to ripen and fall.
But these days, the concubine feels irritable and abnormal, with a high belly, but no fetal movement, which is too unusual.
"Actually, when I first entered the palace, I was also pregnant, at that time, young and ignorant, the imperial doctor said that from the pulse, it was a princess, I thought, the princess is useless, it is better to use beauty first to keep the emperor, so although the fetus is already four months, or give the child?" The concubine said, her eyebrows furrowed: "That's really a princess, but now that I think about it, how cold and thin love is, even if there is a princess by her side, it is good, and it can be regarded as having a dependence." ”
As she spoke, her eyes seemed to flush slightly.
However, this red is fleeting.
Immediately after that, it was replaced by coldness.
"You say, is there something wrong with this womb? Isn't it one, dead? Her pale lips trembled, but she swallowed the words back.
"Niangniang, the concubine's medical skills are mediocre, I'm afraid I can't help you." I hurriedly shirked it.
Judging from the pulse, the one in the concubine's womb should be a stillborn.
However, this matter cannot be publicized, and I can only pretend that I am not sure.
"You don't want to help Hongu?" The concubine stared at me with a serious face.
"Why does the concubine need a concubine to help?" I don't want to get involved in these things, after all, I don't know who those imperial doctors are doing things for, and who is behind the scenes.
Priestess, perhaps? Or maybe? In short, he must be a high-powered person, otherwise, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand, so that the imperial doctors in the palace will listen to him and deceive the concubine.
"Your senior sister is quite sick."
The concubine's eyes sank, and she said such a sentence leisurely.
I stared at the concubine, and the concubine raised the corners of her mouth and smiled faintly: "High Priest Xiao once said that your senior sisters have a deep relationship, this time, you enter the palace, is it difficult, don't you want to meet her?" ”
"The concubine doesn't have a senior sister." I lowered my eyes and said calmly.
The concubine wants to use her senior sister as a pawn to pinch me, and I must not be fooled.
"Oh? Isn't that Princess of the Eternal Night your senior sister? The concubine stared at me with a cold face.
"Princess Jin Zhi Yuye, how can she be the senior sister of the concubine?" I still hung my head.
"Then you don't care if she lives or dies?" The tone of the concubine was obviously a little heavier.
"The concubine is just the prince Liangdi, what's the matter, the life and death of the princess? However, I heard that this princess has been promised to High Priest Xiao, presumably the priest will take care of it with all his heart. I paused, and didn't continue.
However, the meaning between the lines is already obvious, that is, to take Xiao Ce to suppress the concubine.
When the concubine heard this, she suddenly "snapped" at the table and slapped her hand again.
I hurriedly leaned down and knelt down, and said in my mouth: "The concubine is speechless, and please calm the anger." ”
"Do you think Xiao Ce will be your senior sister's support? I might as well tell you, that Xiao Ce, has never been able to keep women around him, most of them have a spring supper overnight, and the next day, his body will be cold, guess how many days can your senior sister survive? The concubine stared at me: "However, your senior sister is innocent!" She seems to be very familiar with Xiao Ce, maybe it was a trick she thought of to let this palace fall into such a field! ”
