Chapter 54: Deliberately Speaking

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Suddenly, the shrill voice of the eunuch sounded outside.

In the main hall of Lanyue Palace, rows of maids came out of Concubine Ning's dormitory with hot water basins full of blood, and all the concubines felt uncomfortable when they smelled the smell of blood, and they covered their mouths with champas.

On the other side, they looked curiously into Concubine Ning's bedroom.

Lu Xiang touched her tears and said to the Queen Mother worriedly: "Queen Mother, Concubine Ning is lying in the palace now, and when the slave came out just now, Niangniang was still unconscious, and I don't know what happened to her now...... Why don't you go in and have a look! ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her, and her face was forced not to show impatience.

This Concubine Ning will really make trouble for her, but she chooses to make this one when she wants to hold a lotus banquet for Zhao Kehan!

On the surface, she still said with a serious expression: "The queen, Concubine Hua, Concubine Chen and the mourning family went in to see Concubine Ning, and the rest of the people waited to sit in the hall, if they felt bored, they could go back first." ”

At this time, the sun outside has completely come out, and no one will stop the concubines if they want to go back.

It's just that Concubine Ning is a topic of conversation in the palace, and her subordinates don't know how many concubines follow her, and now that she has an accident, it's too late for these people to inquire about gossip, how can they leave?

After a short time, these people sat down in the main hall of Lanyue Palace, and without waiting for Lu Xiang to order those palace maids to show them tea, they picked up the tea cup and drank it themselves.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother withdrew her gaze from them, and walked into Concubine Ning's bedroom with Mama Chen's hand.

In the huge dormitory, the windows and doors were closed, the smell of blood was permeated, and Concubine Ning's sickbed was stained red with the blood on her lower body!

The blood was dazzling, the Queen Mother only glanced at it and then removed her eyes, only rubbing her brows and hurriedly called: "Oh, the eyes of the mourning family are really unbearable!" ”

Shang Kelan stood at the back of everyone and secretly looked at Concubine Ning's bedroom.

In addition to a strong smell of blood in the air, there was also a faint smell of medicine, which seemed to have been deliberately diluted, so it became very light.

Lu Xiang hurriedly walked to the hospital bed, took Concubine Ning's hand, and called in a voice that was about to cry: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have come to see you, wake up quickly!" ”

Concubine Ning, who was pale, closed her eyes tightly, lying on the bed, motionless, and her whole person seemed to be in a deep coma and couldn't hear a sound outside.

At this time, Li Chenxiu, who was kneeling on the side, said respectfully: "Please forgive the Queen Mother, Concubine Ning has just had a miscarriage, and her body is bleeding too much, and now it is the time to be weak, so she fell into a coma." ”

Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked at him.

The Queen Mother didn't look at him, turned around and walked towards the main hall, and said, "Since Concubine Ning is in a coma, the mourning family can't ask anything from her mouth, so you will come to the main hall with the mourning family, and the mourning family has something to ask you." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

As soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother walked in front, and everyone and Li Chenxiu followed.

Shang Kelan has good hearing, although the Queen Mother's voice is very small, she still heard the Queen Mother's muttering: "Living in such a stuffy room, it's strange if you don't get sick, and I don't know how Concubine Ning conceived the child, it's okay for the mourning family to follow the old man to fight when she was pregnant with her child, this Concubine Ning is born in the palace and can make mistakes, she is really delicate and frail!" ”

Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Shang Kelan was originally in a heavy mood, but she couldn't help but feel slightly funny, this Queen Mother, although she didn't like herself very much, but what she said made her feel very cute.

When she arrived in the main hall, the Queen Mother sat on the main seat, Zhao Kehan stood next to her, and the Queen Mother sat on the left side of the Queen Mother.

Shang Kelan and Concubine Hua sat in the first and second positions on the right side in turn.

Li Chenxiu stood in the center of the main hall, and Lu Xiang, as the palace maid in charge, stood aside and ordered someone to add tea and water to the ladies and sisters.

After everyone was ready, the Queen Mother looked at Imperial Doctor Li and said, "Let's talk about it, how did Concubine Ning have a miscarriage?" ”

Li Chenxiu bowed his head respectfully and said: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, in the past three days of heavy rain, Concubine Ning has had nightmares and nightmares, and she can't swallow it, the old lady doctor who originally asked Concubine Ning for Niangniang to ask for peace did not find any results, so the minister recommended himself to diagnose Concubine Ning, but I didn't expect that the minister could not diagnose the cause of Concubine Ning's miscarriage, please forgive the Empress Dowager for her incompetence!" ”

Concubine Hua listened, and said suspiciously: "Eh, no, before the heavy rain, the palace saw Sister Ning, and I felt that although Sister Ning was weaker, she was in good spirits, and it didn't look like she would be terminally ill, but just now when the palace looked at Sister Ning, she felt that Sister Ning seemed to be in the middle of an evil spirit!" ”

The Queen Mother is old, and she can't hear words like "evil spirit" the most.

She immediately glared at Concubine Hua: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you not know how taboo witchcraft are in the palace?" Besides, Concubine Ning's miscarriage problem, Imperial Doctor Li also said that he didn't find out the reason, you are making a conclusion here, what kind of coaxing? ”

Concubine Hua unwillingly stirred the handkerchief in her hand and said, "The concubine is just guessing!" Moreover, the concubine's hometown is in Yangzhou, and she has seen a wizard from the West with her own eyes, and the wizard can be effective, when the concubine next door to the Hong Yuanwai family, Mrs. Hong had an inexplicable miscarriage, and a few days before the miscarriage was also a nightmare, and she couldn't swallow it. ”

"But when I called the doctor to come and see it, I couldn't find out anything like Imperial Doctor Li, and I couldn't find out anything about it, so I invited the wizard to go to their house to do a magic thing, and really after a series of strange things, Mrs. Hong was cured! And the next year, Mrs. Hong was successfully pregnant, and nothing strange happened to Hong's family since! ”

Saying that, Concubine Hua sighed again and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine didn't believe it at first, but such a supernatural thing happened around the concubine, and the concubine also felt it!" ”

When the Queen Mother saw that what Concubine Hua said was true, her face couldn't help but show a little suspicion.

Shang Kelan listened quietly on the side, unhurriedly brushed aside the foam on the tea lid, and slowly took a sip of warm tea.

The rest of the concubines seemed to be extremely interested in Concubine Hua's topic, and Jia Zhaoyi couldn't help asking: "Sister Concubine Hua, what you said is Hong Jiaxing, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou?" ”

Concubine Hua looked at her in surprise: "How do you know?" Yes, the Hong member that the palace said is Hong Jiaxing. ”

Seeing that Concubine Hua affirmed her words, Jia Zhaoyi said with a clear expression: "Hey, my sister also knows about this, when my sister passed through Yangzhou with her father, I heard that something strange happened to Hong Yuanwai's house. ”

"In broad daylight, there are bats, snakes, insects, rats and ants burrowing into the house, especially in Mrs. Hong's house, tsk, the beams of the house are almost empty by termites, and the house almost collapsed and killed Mrs. Hong!"

When the rest of the concubines heard this, they couldn't help but widen their eyes:

"What else?"

"It's a strange thing, I was thirteen years old, and I have an impression of it!"

"It turned out to be that Hong Yuanwai, his family was fortunate to have that wizard back then!"

Seeing that these concubines listened to Concubine Hua and Jia Zhaoyi's words, some were surprised, and some were clear, the Queen Mother became even more strange: "Why do you all know about this?" ”
