One hundred and forty-five: Planting
Luo Yu said what he had just said to Doctor Nian again.
The emperor watched the falling rain, and then turned his head to look at the people in the house, from Concubine De to Concubine Qing, to Xiao Chongyi, Ju Jieyu, He Jieyu, Xu Jieyu, Cao Meiren, Xie Meiren, Gao Shunyi, and finally Yao Chuxi.
A few more are in another side nave.
"Do you remember how you fell?" The emperor deliberately slowed down his speech and tried to maintain a calm tone and asked Yao Chuxi.
"The concubine only remembers..."There were big tears rolling out of her eyes, Yao Chuxi choked twice and said, "I just remember that when I sat on the stool, I suddenly hung in the air, and then sat on the ground, and the stool fell beside me." ”
"Someone pushed you? Or did someone arrest you? ”
When the emperor asked this, both Cao Meiren and Xie Meixin raised their throats.
Except for Lai Meiren and Luo Yu, they are the closest people to Yao Chuxi.
And Yao Chuxi shook his head, "No one pushed, but I lost my heart like stepping on the air, and then there was a pain..."
While speaking, Yao Chuxi clenched his stomach, "Your Majesty... The concubine hurts so much..."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."The emperor stroked Yao Chuxi's hair, "Doctor Nian has already gone to decoction medicine, if you insist on it, it will be much better if you drink the medicine." ”
Yao Chuxi nodded.
Luoyu wiped the tears on his face, "Little master, why don't you sleep first?" ”
The emperor looked at Yao Chuxi with the falling rain, "Yes, you sleep for a while, the medicine is decocted, I will call you." ”
Xu was afraid that Yao Chuxi would be afraid, and the emperor added, "Don't worry, I won't leave, I will always guard you." ”
Although half of the heart was relieved in the hall, there was a lot of worry in the stage.
Pan Zhenan led people to inspect all the stools, and only found a crack in the leg of one stool, and one leg was cracked into two sections.
"This must be the reason why Yao Meiren fell." Pan Zhenan took the leg of the stool and said, "This method is really not clever. ”
After waking up, Yao Chuxi drank the medicine and ate half a chestnut cake, originally she didn't want to eat it, but the emperor persuaded her to let her pad her stomach, and she had to eat it.
"Where is this?" Yao Chuxi asked a little dazedly.
"This is the palace room near the stage." As he spoke, the emperor tucked Yao Chuxi's quilt and tucked it, "You just have to rest assured that you are here, and when your situation is better, I will send you back to Yingxue Pavilion." ”
Yao Chuxi nodded, reached out and touched his stomach in the quilt.
The feeling of swelling in her fingers made her feel a little relaxed.
Duan Kui hurriedly came in from outside, whispered a few words to the emperor and went out.
"You have a good rest, I will go out."
After leaving the door, the emperor went straight to the main house, where there was Concubine Qing and Concubine De, as well as Lai Meiren who was kneeling on the ground, and the rest of the unrelated people returned to their residence in order to disperse them all.
"Who prepared this feast?" The emperor didn't drag the mud and water at all, and asked before he had time to sit down after entering the house.
"Back to the emperor, it's a concubine..."Concubine Qing replied.
The emperor's eyes stayed on her for a while, "Didn't I say that Yao Meiren was pregnant with a child in her womb, so she was easily not allowed to move?" ”
"Concubine Qing's appearance was unusually aggrieved, and her tears fell big and big" The concubine didn't think so much, thinking that there were sedan chairs back and forth, and when she got to the stage, she sat down to watch the play, and she didn't think that there would be an accident! ”
The emperor sneered: "If there is no accident, it is not your responsibility?" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare!"
Pan Zhenan came in from outside the door, and the little eunuch behind him carried the stool with a broken leg and placed it in front of Concubine Qing.
"Since you said that you did this banquet, then explain this stool to my good students."
When Concubine Qing saw the stool, an incomprehensible expression appeared on her face.
"It's... This stool was taken by the concubine from the backstage of the stage, and the concubine also specially instructed the palace people to check on Haosheng, for fear that one would fall if he didn't pay attention, but no one saw such a broken stool at that time..."
"It's not broken, it's that the legs of the stool are not strong, and it was either dropped in advance or cut with a knife." The emperor's eyes were cold, and he sat down and stared at Concubine Qing condescendingly.
"Concubines... The concubines don't know..."Concubine Qing suddenly remembered something after speaking, "Your Majesty!" Concubines... The concubine let the palace people on the stage be in charge of the stool, and it must be that the little eunuch didn't pay attention to his work, and he did a so-so errand! Your Majesty, you believe in the concubines, the concubines definitely don't have the courage to harm Yao Meiren's children! ”
"Bring people." The emperor still had a cold face.
Concubine Qing immediately turned her head and ordered, "Go and bring Ma Qi, if you don't cooperate, tie him up!" ”
In order to let the emperor dissipate his anger, Pan Zhenan specially made a cup of tea and put it on the square table next to the emperor, and said in a moderate voice, "Your Majesty, the young doctor just came once, saying that Yao Meiren's recovery is still successful, if there is no accident, the dragon fetus can still be kept healthy." ”
The emperor agreed, and did not say anything else.
And Concubine Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, had a complicated expression, and looked closely at her lower lip, which was bitten and exposed white.
After waiting for a while, the person who came was not the palace man named Ma Qi, but the little eunuch who had just gone down to lead people.
After entering the door, he first kowtowed, "Your Majesty, that Ma Qihe..."
Pan Zhenan's tone was full of displeasure, "What are you spitting?" Don't understand what happened to the emperor? The rules are all in vain! ”
The eunuch swallowed his saliva and replied, "Ma Qi, he hanged himself in his residence, in the house of Datongpu, it just so happened that he was busy today, and no one went back to see, he should have just died for a while." ”
Pan Zhen'an looked at the emperor and only felt shocked.
What a way to blame others!
After hearing this, the emperor slammed the teacup in his hand, and in an instant, the broken porcelain pieces jumped all over the ground.
"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! ”
"Your Majesty, you are angry!" Concubine Qing knelt and took two steps towards the emperor, "Thinking about it, Ma Qi also knew that it was his own negligence and almost killed Sister Yao, so he was frightened and hanged himself." ”
"But it doesn't make sense." Concubine De didn't speak for a long time, and now she felt that the time had come, "If that Ma Qi really killed himself because he was afraid that the emperor would punish him, then it really doesn't make sense, how can a person who is afraid of death seek death by himself because he is afraid of death?" ”
After listening to Concubine De's words, the emperor also felt reasonable, "What Concubine De said is good. ”
Concubine Qing raised her head and accidentally met the emperor's eyes, only to feel like a knife stabbing at her, so frightened that she immediately lowered her head again.
"Isn't the emperor suspicious of his concubines?"
The person sitting in the seat was silent, and the whole room was unusually quiet.
Concubine Qing Lihua said with rain: "Your Majesty, don't wronged your concubines, if you have any questions, just ask, just ask, don't even give your concubines a chance to confess..."
The emperor still didn't say anything.
"The concubine will never use that method to harm Sister Yao, think about it, she sat together several times without any incident, including several concubines including Sister De, how could something happen when she sat down and waited?"
"You're asking me?" The emperor was a little impatient and said, "Presumably, you have already thought about all the rhetoric before this happened, right?" Gamble on Yao Meiren, when will she fall, and where did she come from? ”
"Your Majesty, you believe in your concubines!" Concubine Qing gritted her teeth and pointed to Lai Shuyun, who was kneeling outside, "Think about it, Sister Yao sat down several times and didn't have an accident, why did Lai Meiren fall down when she just arrived nearby?" Isn't that too much of a coincidence? Everyone knows that pregnant concubines and concubines have to leave the scene first, this is the rule! But how dare she dare to move forward? If she hadn't thought about assassinating Sister Yao, the concubine wouldn't have believed it until she died! ”
The emperor straightened the sleeves of her robe, "Lai Meiren is unruly, I will naturally give her corresponding punishment, but the matter of this stool is different, you are the culprit who directly caused Yao Meiren to fall!" ”
Concubine De also answered and said, "Even if it is really Ma Qi's errand problem, then you will not be able to escape the involvement, after all, this banquet is hosted by you, and the palace people who inspect the tables and chairs are also arranged by you, if you pay attention to some and send two or three more palace people, I am afraid that this kind of thing will not happen." ”
Concubine Qing suddenly realized when she heard Concubine De's words, and immediately said, "Sister Concubine De said yes!" Please ask the emperor to punish the concubines for their careless crimes, it is indeed the sloppiness of the concubines that caused these disasters, and the concubines are willing to accept the punishment! ”
"I didn't say what the fault was, but you let me punish you first, what's wrong? I'm afraid that I will find out something unspeakable? The emperor still didn't believe in this woman.
Through the poisoning of Luo Meiren last time, the emperor faintly felt that Concubine Qing would attack Yao Chuxi.
But I didn't want to make Yao Chuxi fall in broad daylight in front of a room of concubines.
I was afraid that she would have strangled Ma Qi a long time ago, and let a person who couldn't speak be a scapegoat for herself!
The emperor, who understood everything, did not continue to entangle with Concubine Qing, walked out of the house directly, stood at the door, and said to Concubine De, "Yao Meiren has been very weak recently, and the dragon fetus has not stabilized, you have to be careful." ”
Concubine De bent her knees slightly, "The concubine remembers, the emperor walks slowly." ”
The Taihe Palace sent an excerpt over, and the emperor approved it in the small compartment.
It wasn't until after dinner that the emperor finished the government affairs, and went outside Yao Chuxi's house against the dew and humidity of the night.
"Did Yao Meiren sleep?" It happened that the rain came out of it with a basin of water, and the emperor hurriedly opened his mouth to ask.
Luoyu shook his head lightly, "The little master just finished applying a hot cloth to his face, saying that his lower abdomen still hurts a little, and he drank medicine just now." ”
"Have you had dinner? How much did you eat? The emperor asked again.
Luoyu replied, "Dinner is served, Han Shanggong specially rushed from Yingxue Pavilion, and he was in it at the moment, coaxing the little master to eat half a bowl of porridge, the little master was a little nauseous and couldn't eat the dishes, so Han Shanggong let the little master eat two cabbage rolls. ”
"I see." The emperor lifted the curtain and walked inside: "You go and get busy." ”
Because no one reported it, Han Shanggong didn't know that the emperor had come in.
"Little master, are you sure that Concubine Qing did it?"
"I can't think of anyone else but her."
