Chapter 191: Comfort
Sui Hong accompanied Emperor Liu's concubine all the way from the former prince's side concubine to her current position, and she also came to Liuhuang Guifei from the original trembling little girl who didn't even dare to say a word.
"Are you really going to stay in the palace for the rest of your life?" Concubine Liu also has her considerations about Suihong's stay in her heart. "Actually, I want to entrust Xuan'er to you."
"Does Niangniang mean to let me go out of the palace with the princess?" Suihong has served Emperor Liu's concubine for many years, and after only looking at Concubine Liu's expression for a moment, she can guess the meaning of her words.
"Yes, after Xuan'er got married, she had her own princess's mansion, and my life was no better than in Yihua Palace, and I had to worry about everything for her." Concubine Liu said with a smile. "There is no problem with the loyalty of the Dan Tang and the Green Forest around her, but there is still some heat in other matters, not to mention Yuezi and Huang Yu, who are a few years younger. I thought about it, I didn't want to let the queen think of a way to put someone in in the end, only if you went outside to take care of her for me, I could rest assured. ”
"What about the mother's side?"
"Don't worry, the people you brought up by hand will have to use some now." Emperor Liu said. "I've been in the palace for so many years, and it's long gone."
"Then since the mother entrusted the princess to the slave maid, the slave and the maid will definitely serve the princess well in the future."
The queen was once again disgusted by Emperor Chu and seriously ill, and the heavy blows during this period of time made the queen's body completely collapse.
As the initiator, Xiao Jin could not leave the house, and Hu's travel was not restricted, as a junior, he learned that the queen was also seriously ill because of Xiao Jin, so it was reasonable for Hu to enter the palace to visit the queen again.
This time, the Hu family came to Zhaoyang Palace, just in time for the queen to wake up and take medicine.
Hu Shi came in to greet the queen, only to see that the queen on the sickbed had a sallow face and a much thinner body.
"The daughter-in-law greets the queen mother." Jinxiu asked Hu to place a stool in front of the queen, and after Hu stepped forward and sat down, he asked the queen very earnestly about her condition. "What is the body of the queen mother? Although I know that there is no shortage of good things in the palace, this old ginseng was obtained by my mother's father when he was released to Liaodong, and it is a rare good thing. The daughter-in-law can't use it outside, so she gives it to the queen mother. ”
"Jinxiu, take it." The queen sat down and let people accept all kinds of supplements brought by the Hu family, "It's hard for you this time." My body is not angry, so you have to worry about it while you are outside doing housework. ”
"It's all a daughter-in-law's business." Hu said. "Originally, it was the trouble caused by the king of the county that implicated the queen mother."
"That's it, when things come to this point, don't mention it again, it will only add to the trouble." The queen has been ill for a long time, and because of something in her heart, her condition has become more and more serious. "You entered the palace today, why didn't the children bring it?"
The queen has no children of her own, and since she took Xiao Jin away from Qin Zhaoyi back then, she has also been carefully raised, and she took care of her own children when she was her own child.
The three children under Hu's knees are all like Hu's, clever and cute, and they are also very popular with the queen on weekdays.
Now that the queen is so sick, she misses her three children even more when she sees Hu's face.
"The disturbance in the house a while ago was too loud, and the three children inevitably heard something and were a little frightened. I can't raise my spirits for a few days, I'm afraid that the queen mother will worry about them, so I let them stay at home and wait for the next time my daughter-in-law will bring them into the palace. ”
"Hey~" What Hu said, the queen naturally knew it. "What is the situation of Liao and her daughter now?"
"Liao suffered a minor skin injury, but he was so frightened that he couldn't get up. The sister in front of her was weak since childhood, and she was also frightened and sick that day. Because the Liao family has been busy since ancient times, my daughter-in-law had to take my sister and son to take care of it in my own yard. The Hu family was not ready to take in Liao's daughter, but she couldn't sit idly by when Xiao Jin almost killed Liao in the mansion, so she had to lead someone to stop Xiao Jin and save Liao's life.
Liao's neck has been cut with a long cut by Xiao Jin's sword, she was so frightened that she sat on the ground, covering her chest with both hands, looking at Xiao Jin's hideous face, which had always been gentle to her in the past, her body kept trembling, and she didn't care about her daughter who passed out not far away.
"Your Highness, the staff can be killed, but Concubine Liao can't be killed." Hu Shi stepped forward with a cold face, blocking Xiao Jin's way. "No matter how poor she is, she is also a side concubine given to you by His Majesty and on the royal jade, not that His Highness can use it at will to be angry, Your Highness, please think twice."
"You!" Xiao Jin looked at Hu Shi with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was unclear. "You threaten me?!"
"Your Highness said with a smile, Your Highness is my husband, and we are husband and wife, both prosperous and lossless. Isn't it because Your Highness doesn't have a Sacred Heart that I am a head lower than all the concubines now? Hu said sarcastically, not afraid of the blood-stained sword in Xiao Jin's hand. If Your Highness makes another mistake and is known to His Majesty, I am afraid that I will not even be able to do this princess in the near future. But I don't mind much, I just don't know if His Highness minds? ”
Hu's words clearly hit Xiao Jin's heart, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed the long sword in his hand at Hu, Xiangdong beside Hu immediately wanted to rush forward to block the middle protector between Xiao Jin and Hu, but she was about to move but was stopped by Hu Shi reaching out.
"Your Highness, let's stop here." Facing the sword blade that rushed towards him, Hu Shi only raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly.
Xiao Jin's sword pointed at the Hu family, but in the end he didn't stab it, threw the sword down, and turned his head out in anger.
"Xiangdong, help Concubine Liao up for me." Hu snorted coldly.
"Princess Jun, it's not good!" The maid beside Concubine Liao had long since lost her souls, and seeing that her master, Concubine Liao, had already been frightened into a puddle of soft mud, so she let Xiangdong take people into the inner room, and had to ask the Hu family for advice. "Our sister was so scared that she fainted."
Hu hurriedly went to see that she hadn't seen much of Liao's daughter, it was a thin and weak little girl. At this time, he fell into the arms of the nurse with a pale face, his hands were closed tightly, and his little hands and feet kept twitching.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Hu inquired about the situation, and only then learned that when Xiao Jin wanted to kill Liao, the child happened to be present, and seeing that his father was going to kill her biological mother, the already timid and frail child was frightened and fainted.
"Okay, you take good care of the Liao family." Hu didn't like Liao, and he didn't have much feelings for her children.
It's just that she, as a mother of three, can't see a child of the same age as her eldest son suffer.
"Sister, I'll take it back to my yard, and when your master gets better, I'll pick up my sister in my yard."
Hu Shi dropped a sentence and instructed the nurse who was holding her sister to get up quickly and follow up, and left Liao's yard.
When the queen heard Hu Shi talk about the situation that day, she only felt that her already unhappy body became more and more uncomfortable.
"I've wronged you." The queen looked at Hu Shi and said.
"Don't be aggrieved, Queen Mother. From the day she marries His Royal Highness, these are what a daughter-in-law should do as a main house. "Hu Shi's words mean something." Liao treated me again, but her sister was innocent. As the mother-in-law of my sister, I naturally can't watch my child suffer with a cold eye. ”
"You're right." The queen didn't understand the meaning of Hu's words, so she had to deal with it. "Go back. I have someone here and a doctor to take care of you day and night, and there are a lot of things in your house, so you don't have to go into the palace to ask for peace during this time. ”
"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your compassion." Hu stood up and thanked him.
Hu stayed and stayed with the queen for a while, waiting for the queen's drug to attack and gradually become sleepy, and then she got up to say goodbye.
The queen was not energetic, and after the Hu family served the queen to lie down and rest, she was sent out of Zhaoyang Palace by Jinxiu.
The Hu family left Zhaoyang Palace, thinking that Liao's sister was still very sick, and the people in the house were also impetuous. He didn't plan to go to Qin Zhaoyi to say goodbye again, but only prepared to leave the palace and return home as soon as possible.
On the road to the palace gate, Hu met Xiao Xuan.
"I've seen my second sister-in-law." Seeing Hu Shi coming, Xiao Xuan, who was originally standing on the side, greeted her with a smile and said to her with a smile.
"Princess, you're welcome." Hu looked tired, saw Xiao Xuan step forward, and said with a smile. "Now I'm just the princess of the county, and my position is one level lower than the princess, so I don't deserve the princess's courtesy."
"The second sister-in-law laughed, I only treat you as my sister-in-law, not just the princess of the county." Xiao Xuan asked the Dan Tang behind him to bring the things he brought. "It's been a long time since I've seen the children attached to my second sister-in-law, and I miss them a lot. Here are some of the delicate toys I collected, which were originally going to be sent out in the next few days, but the second sister-in-law happened to be here, so I brought them back to play with them. There are also some supplements, suitable for sick and weak children, I let the imperial doctor see it in advance, and Concubine Liao's sister can use it with peace of mind. ”
"It seems that it's really a good thing that doesn't go out, and a bad thing spreads thousands of miles." Hu asked Xiangdong to take the things in Dantang's hand, and said with a strong smile. "The princess knows everything outside the palace, so you can see how big the scandal in our house is?"
"The second sister-in-law has worked hard." Xiao Xuan looked at the tiredness that could not be concealed under the delicate makeup on Hu's face, and not only slowed down his voice to persuade. "The second brother is not useful, and the second sister-in-law has to take care of herself while running the house and taking care of the children."
"I wrote down the princess's words." Hu Shiwei sighed. "I'll take good care of myself for the sake of the children."
