Chapter Ninety-Three: The Peony Herb Dies
Xiaoli invited her in, "Now that the wind is getting stronger, Niangniang should go back so as not to rain on her body." The summer rain is too heavy...... Niangniang has to rest and recuperate, and she can go to see He Meiren tomorrow. ”
Chu Yuxi turned around and went back to the house, and Xiaoli accompanied her to work as a maid.
Xiao Qi came back after a while.
"Back to Niangniang, the slave maid looked at He Meiren's face and thought it was almost good. He Meiren also said that when she was completely well, she would come to see Niangniang, so that Niangniang should not worry about it. ”
Chu Yuxi couldn't hide the joy on her face, but complained: "That girl doesn't know how to get cold. However, she is still young, and her physique is a little worse. Tomorrow, I will go to the Tai Hospital and personally prepare some decoctions to strengthen my body. She takes it every day, and this body can always be raised. ”
Suddenly, I heard a low sob, and I was following the prestige to find out, but I saw Xiao Qi running out of the smoke.
Chu Yuxi couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "What's wrong with Xiao Qi, are you crying?" ”
Xiao Li hurriedly said for her: "Back to Niangniang, Xiao Qi is still thinking about the outside of the palace." She has been staying leisurely outside the palace for the past three days, and she is a little unaccustomed to it when she returns to the palace. ”
Xiao Yuanzi also hurriedly echoed her: "Exactly, I heard Miss Xiaoqi say that she wants to leave the palace before." ”
"That's right, I yearn for life outside the palace, let alone Xiaoqi......"
Xiao Yuanzi found an excuse to retreat, "The slave is going to persuade and persuade her, it's not appropriate to cry like this all the time." ”
After Xiaoyuanzi left, Xiaoli began to light the lamp in the lampshade, and the amount today was twice as much as when he was in the palace.
Xiaoli was about to pass dinner after finishing it, but was stopped by Chu Yuxi. When asked about the reason, Xiaoli also had her own words, "Niangniang just came back from outside the palace, and it must be difficult to get used to it for a while." The slave thought of lighting more lamps and candles to make the mother feel more at ease. ”
Chu Yuxi didn't refuse, "It's better to be brighter." ”
What Xiao Li thought, Chu Yuxi didn't know.
After dinner, I heard Xiaoyuanzi come back from the usual news, saying that Ye Hansi did not turn over any of the concubines' green cards tonight. Didn't he love Yan Jieyu, which made Chu Yuxi feel a little strange.
"But what I'm more curious about is, what does this Yan Jieyu have to say to Your Majesty?"
Xiaoyuanzi and the others didn't talk.
After thinking about it and finally coming to a conclusion, she didn't bother to think about it again. I only hope that He Yanyi's illness will get better soon, so that she can tell her everything she has seen and heard outside the palace. Although He Yanyi has only been in the palace for a few months, she must have remembered everything outside the palace, but she still has to say.
I always feel that sharing it with her is the perfect trip out of the palace.
Xiao Qi took the newly sent rose cake from the imperial dining room, and said: "Niangniang, after Yuling entered the palace, she has settled down a lot, and she doesn't mention anything like going to Ganlin Palace to serve Your Majesty." ”
Chu Yuxi lowered her eyes and glanced at the delicate and small rose cake, but she didn't taste a mouthful, "Arrange light work for her." ”
Xiao Qi was about to ask, but he still didn't ask, so he just answered and retreated.
Xiao Yuanzi came up, and when he was sure that Xiao Ling was not in the house at this time, he said again: "Niangniang, the slave found that Xiao Ling went to Chaohua Palace five times in the past three days, and each time she stayed for less than a cup of tea, she came out again." ”
Chu Yu looked at the dripping rain outside the window, and then retracted his gaze and said, "Keep staring." ”020
The first night when he returned to the palace, Chu Yuxi didn't sleep well, and he didn't know if it was because the lights outside the black gauze tent were too bright.
In short, I tossed and turned in the middle of the night, and I didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
The next day, the rain had stopped, and the scenery outside was uniquely beautiful. The whole yard was covered with purple flowers, like a soft blanket, and she was reluctant to step on it, so she ordered someone to sweep it aside and fall alone.
Chu Yuxi said while using the pastry: "Last time, I heard Yanyi say that the peony flowers in her courtyard have bloomed, and now her courtyard must be as smooth as the garden in Ah Hong's mansion." ”
Although I was anxious to see He Yanyi, the most important thing at the moment was to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye first.
What made her strange was that she went to the Queen Mother's palace to greet her, but she heard a lot of strange things from her. It was to comfort her not to be too sad, and to let her carefully raise the baby in her womb for An Jieyu. After saying nothing, although Chu Yuxi didn't understand, he still agreed with a smile.
After Cai Weiyang Palace came out, she went back to the Furong Palace, and asked Xiaoli to prepare the things and send them together. Xiao Qi and Xiao Yuanzi persuaded a few words one after another, but Chu Yuxi didn't listen.
Instead, they became suspicious because of their attitude, "Why do I think you don't want me to see the smoke instrument?" ”
Seeing that they shook their heads again and again to veto, Chu Yuxi was even more confused.
Hoping that this confusion would be solved by He Yanyi herself, she strode towards the outside of the hall, but was stopped by Xiao Yuanzi when she was about to leave the door of the hall.
I saw Xiaoyuanzi "plop" and fell to the ground, "Please forgive Niangniang, the slave lied to Niangniang!" ”
"What do you mean?" It was not a matter for Xiao Yuanzi to kneel outside the hall, so Chu Yuxi called him in, "Tell me everything in 1510, if there is any more concealment, you don't have to stay in the Furong Hall to serve." ”
In the back room, Chu Yuxi quietly waited for Xiao Yuanzi's confession, but he was slurring and slurring, and Chu Yuxi could only vaguely argue that this matter seemed to be related to He Yanyi.
Then he pretended to ask awe-inspiringly, "Xiaoyuanzi, what happened, aren't you going to tell me?" ”
"Hui Niangniang, what a beauty...... It's gone! ”
Xiao Yuanzi lowered his head in annoyance, not daring to look directly at Chu Yuxi anymore.
Chu Yuxi was stunned on the spot, that dream had come true after all, but this was absolutely impossible!
I only heard Chu Yuxi almost roar: "Why not?" Why not, why not! ”
Xiaoqi and Xiaoli also knelt down together,
Let's listen to Xiaoyuanzi say slowly: "On the first night after Niangniang left, An Jieyu suddenly had a stomachache, and the imperial doctor said that she had eaten something clean, but fortunately, the dosage was not much, and it did not hurt the imperial heir in the abdomen. Later, it was verified that there was a problem in the peony flower cake sent by He He Meiren. ”
"When Yan Jieyu learned about this, she grounded He Meiren in the Peony Garden on the spot, saying that everything would wait for His Majesty to come back."
Chu Yuxi knew that this matter was not so simple, just from Xiao Yuanzi's panicked expression.
"The minion was not at the scene at the time, but only secretly went to the Peony Garden later. I only heard her slave Xiaojing say that He Meiren insisted that she did not poison An Jieyu, and said that she was willing to wait for His Majesty to come back and then investigate the matter thoroughly. But who knew that in the second half of the second day, the eunuch who was patrolling the night found He Meiren's body in the garden pond near the Peony Garden. ”
Now it is rumored that she committed suicide because she poisoned An Jieyu, which is equivalent to admitting her crime...... The slave didn't mean to hide the mother, the slave just thought that the mother could know one day later, and he would know one day later! ”
Chu Yuxi had already cried bitterly and became a tearful person. Xiaoqi couldn't stand it and wanted to wipe it for her, but she pushed it aside.
