Chapter 123: Awakening
At the palace banquet just now, he received an urgent report from the chamberlain, saying that Shang Kelin, the eldest prince of the Zuo Xiangfu, asked to see him in the imperial study, so Jin Yantang temporarily put down the palace banquet and came to the imperial study.
Shang Kelin remembered what Shang Kelan said to him in the afternoon, so he truthfully reported the situation in Shu to Jin Yantang, and said that after Wen Quanwu was demoted, he hated and sent the remnants of the party to ambush them on the road to stab them.
He also said that the disaster silver was also taken away after he fell unconscious, and there were traces of robbery at the scene.
When Shang Kelin spoke, Jin Yantang was thoughtful, he slowly rubbed the white jade wrench on his left hand, and when Shang Kelin didn't notice, Jin Yantang secretly glanced at Shang Kelin several times.
"In short, this disaster relief is a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister, and I ask Your Majesty to condemn it!"
Shang Kelin said, kneeling on one knee and pleading guilty.
Jin Yantang's eyes flashed slightly, his expression was still as indifferent as before, but he calmly helped him up, and said gently: "You can't be blamed for this matter, I didn't think it through, and I didn't send more people to protect you, today's Midyear Festival, Lan'er will also come to the palace banquet later, you and I are in-laws, we should go to the banquet with me, let's go, Brother Lin." ”
Jin Yantang did not blame Shang Kelin in his words, and his attitude was very gentle, which made Shang Kelin feel even more embarrassed by his dereliction of duty.
So, he said to Jin Yantang guiltily: "Your Majesty, this matter, Weichen will definitely be responsible for it to the end!" ”
In other things, he is Jin Yantang's eldest brother; But in the matter of government affairs, Jin Yantang is the lord and he is the minister, which is still clear to Kelin.
It is precisely for this reason that Shang Kelin will put Jin Yantang first in everything in the affairs of the court and politics, and has a respectful attitude.
Hearing this, Jin Yantang looked at him calmly and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry, I have my own way, you don't need to worry too much about this matter." ”
Shang Kelin breathed a sigh of relief, Jin Yantang said that there was a way, and there might already be other solutions to the disaster in Shudi.
I saw that after Jin Yantang let go of him, he turned around, put his hands behind his back, and said: "Besides, the imperial doctor in the palace has developed a method to treat the plague, and I have already sent someone to Shudi, at this time, the plague in Shu must have been controlled." ”
After listening to Jin Yantang's words, Shang Kelin breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
Jin Yantang turned around, looked directly at him, and suddenly smiled: "Follow me to the palace banquet, Lan'er should come." ”
Shang Kelin nodded, made a gesture of invitation to him, and only after Jin Yantang left, he followed behind Jin Yantang.
E, Xianya Palace.
In a daze, Shang Kelan felt that her chest couldn't breathe, and her eyelids seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds, and she worked hard for a long time before she slowly opened her eyes.
The sight is a lilac gauze and a dim candlelight.
"Great, Niang Niang is awake!"
Suddenly, Gardenia's surprised voice sounded in Shang Kelan's ears.
Shang Kelan looked blank, lay motionless on the bed, and asked, "What's wrong with this palace?" ”
But as soon as the words came out, even she couldn't help but be stunned: What's the matter? Why is her voice so hoarse and ugly?
It's like the sound of a stone scraping on paper, it's offensive!
Shang Kelan was startled and sat up suddenly, but it was dark in front of her.
Gardenia hurriedly poured a glass of water to feed her to drink, and said worriedly: "Niangniang, the slave maid doesn't know what's going on, I only heard movement in the dormitory, so I pushed the door to see, who knew that you were lying on the bed wet all over, dying, it scared the slaves and maids!" "Dumbo e-book
Shang Kelan's ears buzzed, and she couldn't help but rub her eyebrows with a headache, but found that her fingers were cold and there was no warmth at all.
At this time, Xiaoxia opened the curtain and walked in, and when she saw Shang Kelan waking up, she hurriedly said in surprise: "Great, Niangniang, you are awake!" Drink a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold, which is specially cooked for you by the slave maid, and brown sugar is added to it! ”
"I'll do it."
Gardenia sat beside Shang Kelan, took the white jade bowl handed by Xiaoxia, and fed Shang Kelan little by little with a spoon.
After three spoonfuls, Shang Kelan's body warmed up, and she only felt as if the whole person was alive, and her vision gradually returned to clarity, and she saw the faces of Gardenia and Xiaoxia.
Both of them had worried exhaustion written on their faces, and it looked like they had been guarding her for a long time.
Shang Kelan reluctantly smiled at the two, and said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong with this palace?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Gardenia lowered her head and was silent, and Xiaoxia said resentfully: "Sister Zhiqiu said that you fell into the water, you are so dignified, how could you fall into the water?" Someone must have deliberately pushed you down to kill you! ”
Saying that, Xiao Xia seemed to have remembered something, looked at Shang Kelan in horror, and said, "Suffer, Niangniang, could it be that the boy in red who killed him?" ”
Unexpectedly, things were accidentally hit by Xiaoxia, and she guessed correctly.
Gardenia immediately raised her face, frowned tightly, grabbed her hand and asked quickly, "The boy in red?" Which Guy in Red? What is the mouth extinguishing? Xiaoxia, do you know anything? ”
Suddenly, Xiaoxia hesitated, and said with a dodgy look: "I...... I don't know anything......"
Gardenia's eyes narrowed slightly, Shang Kelan suddenly spoke, and said weakly: "How can there be any boy in red?" It's just Xiaoxia talking nonsense, by the way, has the palace banquet started, did the mother of the palace go to the banquet? ”
Hearing this, Gardenia had no choice but to let go of Xiaoxia temporarily, and instead replied to Shang Kelan: "Qi Yu Niangniang, half an hour after the palace banquet began, Madame went to the banquet in order to see you, but she didn't know that you were grounded, so the slave maid planned to wait for the palace banquet to end and send Madame out of the palace." ”
After listening to Gardenia's words, Shang Kelan nodded reassuringly and said, "Well done, the current appearance of this palace is really not suitable for my mother to see, otherwise she should be worried again." ”
Gardenia sighed, fed her ginger soup with pity, and said: "If the lady and the eldest prince see your current appearance, they should really be distressed to death, and I don't know which villain is so despicable that he actually did such a pickled thing to push you into the water, what a thousand cuts!" ”
In the end, Gardenia is angry with her.
She is two years older than Shang Kelan, and she has served by Shang Kelan's side since she was a child, but Shang Kelan is different from other daughters, she has always advocated equality for everyone, so this girl is like a sister in the eyes of Gardenia.
Seeing her suffering in the palace, she almost lost her life, not to mention how uncomfortable Gardenia was!
Shang Kelan's eyes dimmed slightly, and after giving Xiao Xia a look, she motioned to her not to tell her about the man in red.
Xiaoxia looked at her nervously and nodded hurriedly.
Shang Kelan looked at Gardenia and said puzzledly: "By the way, do you know who sent me back?" ”
The person who saved her must have sent her back, but who saved her?
Shang Kelan was very curious in her heart, it stands to reason that the person can scoop her up from the lake, and her skills must not be simple.
And when he called to himself, his voice sounded familiar.
She must know this person!
