Chapter 276: Extinguishing the Mouth
Xiao Xuan instructed Sui Hong to welcome Xiao Yu to the front hall of hospitality for a while.
In order to take care of Brother Min this day, she had no time to make up or dress up. When she walked to the dressing table, she was startled by the unkempt woman in the mirror.
Xiao Xuan called people in again and again, and asked people to quickly fetch water to clean her face and makeup.
After tossing for a while, Xiao Xuan dressed up and went to the front hall.
Xiao Yu sat in the front hall drinking tea, and waited for a while before Xiao Xuan came over.
"Big brother." Xiao Xuan stepped forward with a smile and asked. "Why did you come to me today? How is the mother now? ”
"The concubine has woken up, and the doctor said that the concubine's body is fine." Xiao Xuan put down the teacup in his hand and said. "The mother concubine knew that Brother Min was also sick, and she really couldn't feel at ease, so she asked me to come over and see Brother Min'er's situation for her. By the way, what happened to Brother Min? Wasn't it fine before, why did you suddenly get sick? ”
"Brother Min just has a fever, and there are no other tricky symptoms. After the doctor prescribed the right medicine, the heat has now subsided. Xiao Xuan said. It's just that Brother Min is too young, and he still needs to be observed for a few days. His illness is even more sticky, and I'm just afraid that I won't be able to get out of the palace and go to the palace to visit my mother in the next few days. ”
"It's okay, the mother has woken up, just take care of it for a while." Xiao Yu nodded. "When I came, my mother also told me, you have Brother Min to take care of, and you don't need to think about running to the palace all the time. The mother concubine is thinking about Brother Min in her heart, you just need to take care of Brother Min. ”
"Don't worry, big brother, I know everything." Xiao Xuan understood. "As long as I know that my mother is in good health, I will be relieved."
"By the way, I only found out today, did you bring the woman from the sixth brother's mansion to your own mansion?" Speaking of this, Xiao Yu remembered this. "You're too bold, the woman's background and intentions haven't been found out yet, how can you rashly bring someone to your house?"
"Let's not talk about anything else for the time being, even if the woman really intended to get close to the sixth brother, it would be even worse if she really let her continue to stay in the sixth brother's mansion. I'm just a princess who doesn't participate in the court, and no one will keep an eye on the people in my house. "Xiao Xuan can roughly guess the worries in Xiao Yu's heart." Since I want to bring such a person to my house, I naturally made some preparations. Fortunately, that one is still sensible, and he only stays in the courtyard every day. Don't talk much and don't talk to the people in my house, Dan Tang looked at her in the courtyard, and guards were arranged in the open and dark places outside the courtyard, so the eldest brother can rest assured, right? ”
"That's it, that's it, that's what you said." Xiao Yu knows the truth that the point is stopped. "Just remember not to be careless."
"Okay, I've got it all down." Xiao Xuan said. "Shaolan has already asked someone in Jiangnan to check the origin of the person, and I think that there will be a reply in a while. When the time comes, you can really understand the matter. ”
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Xuan, got up and rubbed her hair with a smile.
"I'm a mother now, don't treat me like a child anymore." Xiao Xuan was afraid that the freshly combed hair would be messed up by Xiao Yu, so she hurriedly slapped Xiao Yu's hand away, and said with disgust. "The eldest brother has also been tired in the palace for a few days, so hurry back to the house and rest."
"Hahaha, I'm leaving."
What happened in the back palace, Xiao Xuan was dedicated to taking care of the sick Brother Min in the house, but he didn't know anything.
It has only been two days since Concubine Liu woke up, and she has already found the person who used her medicine. That person is not a person in Yihua Palace, but a low-ranking concubine who has been attached to Emperor Liu's concubine for many years, and Xiao Xuan saw her in Yihua Palace when she took Brother Min into the palace that day.
Speaking of which, the low-ranking concubine can also be regarded as the old man who served around Emperor Chu during the period of Emperor Chu's palace, although she has not given birth in these years, and her favor is only general. But Emperor Chu has always been a nostalgic person, and he still gave her a concubine a few years ago.
When she was not favored, it was Emperor Liu's concubine who helped her, so after that, she joined the command of Emperor Liu, and occasionally helped Emperor Liu's concubine do some inconspicuous things.
Over the years, the queen's health has become worse and worse, and the power in the hands of Emperor Liu's concubine is greater than in the past. Concubine Liu Huang is a broad-hearted person, but everyone who follows her has a very nourishing life in the palace.
But such a person actually did something to Emperor Liu's concubine, and even when he did it, he didn't fake it, but chose to do it himself. Among the medicinal materials sent by the Tai Hospital, she exchanged a few seemingly inconspicuous ones, and the fact that Emperor Liu Guifei was angry that day really caused Emperor Liu's sudden illness.
If such a method hadn't been inadvertently discovered by Imperial Physician Liu, I was afraid that even if Emperor Liu's concubine didn't die, I was afraid that she would be paralyzed on the bed for the rest of her life.
After learning that the matter was revealed, by the time Emperor Liu sent Baizhu to find her, she had already been suspended by a white silk on a high roof beam.
Concubine Liuhuang, who was still recuperating on the sickbed, listened to Baizhu's reply from the hurried return, and was silent for a long time.
You must know that the rules in the palace are strict, not only for the servants who serve the master such as the palace maid and the chamberlain, but also the concubines are only a lot more restrained than the master.
Among them, the concubine's suicide is even more of a big crime, which is only enough to ask her mother's family.
"Niangniang, what should I do next?" Such a big thing, fortunately, the people who Baizhu brought out to do things are strict-mouthed.
After discovering the body, they immediately lowered it from the roof beam, and did not let the news leak. Baizhu ordered someone to guard the corpse, and returned to Yihua Palace as soon as possible to report the matter to Emperor Liu's concubine.
"You go to Imperial Physician Liu to see her, and if you are sure that she committed suicide, please ask Imperial Physician Liu to do me a favor and hold her for her death." I took her body and sent it to the palace for burial. "What is the person who has been with her for many years, even if she doesn't know why she wants to use her own medicine against the water, and suddenly hearing the news of her death, Emperor Liu still relented after all." You can personally put away the money she left behind, and send it back to her mother's house outside the palace, and this matter will end here. ”
"Yes." Baizhu cautiously looked at the face of Emperor Liu's concubine and didn't ask anything.
In the Zhaoyang Palace, the queen, who had been called ill for a short time, was standing in front of the window with bird food at this time feeding a parrot with a very bright color.
said that she was too sick to get up from the queen, but in fact, her complexion was not bad.
Jinxiu stood beside her, watching an old woman with a bent waist and an unattractive appearance talking back to the queen.
"You've done a good job this time." The queen listened to the old woman's reply, and bowed her head lightly. "Jinxiu, bring the package I asked you to prepare just now and bring it to this water mama."
Jinxiu silently handed the package she had been holding in her hand to the old woman.
"Inside is the waist card I promised you in advance to leave the palace and two hundred bright broken silver and three hundred taels of silver tickets." The queen raised her head arrogantly and said to the old woman. "I have already instructed Lin Jinmen to go out of the palace tonight, and remember to take care of your mouth outside the palace in the future."
The old lady took the package from Jinxiu's hand, and after reversing the weight of the package, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Yes, the old slave thanked the queen for the reward." The old lady replied with a smile. "Don't worry, the old slave will definitely be brought to the coffin in this matter."
"Well, that's for the best." The corners of the queen's mouth were slightly raised, and a treacherous light flashed in her eyes.
The old lady only cared about the package in her hand, secretly happy in her heart, and did not notice the queen's expression at all. And Jinxiu, who was standing beside the queen, saw the queen's expression clearly.
The old lady was led out of the queen's palace by the palace maid.
"Jinxiu, you can run to Lin Jinmen for me tonight." The queen suddenly called Jinxiu's name and said softly. "I'm not very relieved Shui Mama, tonight you take someone to send her on the road for me, I really can't believe the mouth of the living, or the mouth of the dead is tighter. When I sent her on the road, you took the money in the package to buy her a good coffin, and it was her reward for doing something good for me. ”
"Yes, the slave knows." Jinxiu responded neatly, but secretly swallowed her saliva.
"Hey, I'll rest assured that I'll leave the matter to you." The queen's hand patted Jinxiu's shoulder, and Jinxiu lowered her head and didn't speak. "Okay, I'm tired, let's go rest for a while. I have to go to see Your Majesty early tomorrow morning, and I have to take care of my spirits. ”
"That slave maid is resting serving the mother?" Jinxiu hurriedly held the queen's arm and said earnestly.
"yes, okay."
After nightfall, Miyagi fell into a deep twilight, except for the lights on the edge of the road, the whole Miyagi was more like a monster lurking in the night that would devour people's lives.
Jinxiu took five or six inner guards in the woods near the Lin Jinmen, and in the middle of the night, sure enough, there was a sound of small footsteps on the side of the road, and after a while, a rickety figure appeared in the sight of Jinxiu and others.
Jinxiu sighed secretly in her heart, she gestured to those attendants, and those attendants immediately rushed out and grabbed the Shui Mama who had left from Zhaoyang Palace with the package earlier, and they blocked the mouth of the Shui Mama and brought the person in front of Jinxiu.
In the drowsy moonlight, Shui Mama recognized the splendid face.
When she recognized Jinxiu, she probably understood her fate. Before the attendants could do anything, she had already fallen to the ground trembling, and her clothes were soaked.
"Shui Mama, I was sent by my mother to send you on your way." Jinxiu squatted-down-leaned over, looked into Mama Shui's eyes and said. "They are all slaves and maids, and I can't help it, don't blame me on Huangquan Road."
