Chapter Seventy-Five: Concubine Wu is demoted
Concubine Shu in the house was afraid that Qiu Tong would be beaten again, so she gasped and said, "Qiu Tong, come back...... I'm fine......"
But before he could finish speaking, he felt his head sink and fell on the table, his elbow accidentally knocked the pot of blood that had just been put on the ground, and the originally clean ground was instantly stained with a layer of red.
"! Empress! Qiu Tong hurriedly turned around and ran to the table, picked up Concubine Shu, and shouted, "Come on, Niangniang fainted!" Come on! ”
However, at this time, Jiao Xing looked at Concubine Shu's haggard and pale face, but she became more and more proud, and was busy calling people, "Come on!" Don't you see the ground dirty? Hurry up and clean up! It's so clumsy, copying a scripture can stain the ground! ”
Qiu Tong saw that none of the people in the Wuying Palace were willing to help, Concubine Shu was dying again, her heart was horizontal, she gritted her teeth and rushed out of the door, Jiao Xing reacted immediately, and shouted to the guards at the door, "Stop her!" Don't let her out! ”
The guards hurriedly supported Qiu Tong left and right, but her struggle was too strong, so she had to kick her knee and press her to the ground.
"Help! Help me! Qiu Tong shouted helplessly, but the palace walls were like iron, and no one outside the walls could hear her pleading.
Just as a few guards were about to send her back into the house, the door of the Wuying Hall slowly opened.
There was a shout from behind him, "The queen has arrived!" Princess Minyue has arrived! ”
Qiu Tong has only one thought in his heart, the savior is coming!
I didn't care about the etiquette rules, so I hurriedly broke free of the guard's hand, and knelt in front of the queen with a rolling belt, kowtowing with a bang, "Queen Niangniang, please save Concubine Shu!" Concubine Shu fainted! ”
"What?" When the queen heard this, her face changed abruptly, and she hurriedly led people into the hall, and sure enough, she saw Concubine Shu slumping on the table, still holding a blood-stained brush in her hand, so she asked, "What the hell is going on!" Hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor! ”
Concubine Wu and Concubine Xiang, who were talking and laughing in the inner room, heard the queen's voice and hurried out, and saw Concubine Shu who fainted on the ground and was also startled, and hurriedly knelt down and explained, "Back to the queen's mother, the concubine just asked Concubine Shu's sister to copy the scriptures and pray for Your Majesty."
……”
"Since you are copying scriptures, why did you make a puddle of blood on the ground!"
"This, this...... The concubine ...... "Concubine Wu knows that she is at a loss, and she is speechless."
Qiu Tong on the side rushed forward and said while crying, "Back to the queen's mother, Concubine Wu said that the scriptures need to be copied with human blood in order to be effective, so ...... So let's cut our fingers and bleed and copy the scriptures...... Our mother was weak and fainted after losing too much blood......"
When the queen heard this, she shouted, "Ridiculous! Wouldn't copying scriptures in human blood hurt people's lives! Concubine Wu, you're too much! ”
At this time, Min Yue, who had been beside Concubine Shu, exclaimed, "Queen Mother! Shu Niangniang fainted! ”
Everyone hurriedly set up Concubine Shu and followed the queen out of Wuying Palace.
Back to the Luoning Palace, the queen hurriedly ordered the imperial doctor to come to heal, at this time Li Wenyao, who had been in the imperial study, also heard about it, hurried back, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his mother lying on the bed with a pale face, ten fingers wrapped in thick gauze, Minyue sat aside and shed tears.
Seeing Brother Qi, he quickly got up and said, "Brother Qi, Shu Niangniang, she ......."
Li Wenyao leaned down and called out to Concubine Shu eagerly, "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" The baby has come to see you! ”
However, Concubine Shu never opened her eyes, only her eyes moved slightly, Li Wenyao hurriedly asked the imperial doctor about the situation, and the imperial doctor comforted him and said, "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, please rest assured, Concubine Shu Niangniang just lost too much blood, plus she wrote for a long time, and she had chilblains on her hands, and the weather has been getting cold recently, and Concubine Shu has been suffering from cold, so she has fainted ......."
"Is it okay?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, it's okay, wait for Weichen to draw up a prescription, take the decoction every day, and regulate the moon, and it will be fine." Hearing the imperial doctor say this, Li Wenyao's heart hanging in his throat relaxed slightly.
When the mood calmed down a little, he asked Min Yue about the situation just now, Min Yue wiped her tears, still a little choked, "I just met the maid in the palace of Concubine Wu in the pear garden was taking Shu Niangniang to the Wuying Palace, so I kept an eye on it and sent someone to check the situation outside the gate of the Wuying Palace, who knew that Concubine Wu actually asked Shu Niangniang to copy the scriptures with blood, I hurriedly went to the Qingxin Palace to tell the queen mother about it...... If it's a little bit later, I don't know what will happen. ”
The more Li Wenyao listened, the more the flame in his heart burned, his fists clenched together, and he couldn't wait to rush into the Wuying Hall immediately and break the two insidious and vicious women into pieces.
"Yao'er...... Yao'er ......" Concubine Shu slowly opened her eyes and grabbed Li Wenyao's hand, her eyes full of tears.
"Mother, mother, are you awake?" Li Wenyao hurriedly leaned over to check her situation, "How do you feel now?" ”
Concubine Shu smiled slightly, "Mother is fine, just rest for a few days......"
"Why does Mother tolerate that slut bullying you so much!" Li Wenyao was indignant, clenched his fists and slammed them on the bed, and his deep pupils showed hatred for the first time.
In the past, he thought that as long as he stayed away from the court and away from strife, he could protect himself and his mother, but he would never have imagined that the battle in this harem was far more dangerous than he thought, and if he had no weapons in his hands, he would become a lamb to the slaughter of everyone.
"Yao'er doesn't have to be angry...... Concubine Shu gently stroked the broken hair that fell from his forehead to his ears carefully, and comforted him softly, "We don't have the qualifications to compete with others now, so we can only endure ......"
Two bean-sized tears rolled down the side of the bed, Li Wenyao suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his chest, he was weak in front of him, he couldn't compete with Concubine Wu and the Sixteen Princes, and even his mother had to be bullied in this deep palace.
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely become stronger, be your umbrella, and never let you be bullied by others again."
At the same time, the queen has also returned to the Qingxin Palace, and reported the matter to the emperor, the emperor was furious after hearing this, and immediately ordered the concubine to be a concubine, claustrophobic Wuying Palace, and every day at noon, go to kneel under the sun for two hours as a punishment.
And Wan Bingyu and the others outside the palace also learned about this from Min Yue's mouth, and they were all worried.
"If Concubine Shu has an accident, the Seventh Prince must be uncomfortable." Heng Xinyuan said worriedly.
"Isn't it, Brother Seventh stayed in front of Shu Niangniang every day, didn't leave a single step, and everyone lost weight several times, but the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor in this palace just didn't work, Shu Niangniang has been lying down for several days, and her body is still very weak." Min Yue frowned and sighed one by one.
Wan Bingyu walked around the house several times, thinking that this anemia disease may not be cured by eating a few herbs, and may still need his own "elixir", but he is not worried that others will bring this medicine back to the palace, for fear that someone will find any flaws, then it will be a big trouble, Heng Xinyuan is a man, and he can't enter the harem.
After thinking about it, he came up with a bold solution, turned to Min Yue and said, "Min Yue, can you take me into the palace?" ”
