Chapter 123: Woe to the Wall
Ning Yi looked at the princess who was playing happily on the bridge with a smile, and asked Yanxi beside her quietly:
"Fang Cai, I saw that you secretly hid two sweet plums, isn't there something wrong with this sweet plum? The food in the dining room is not all prepared by Ning Yue and them, and you still doubt ......"
Before she could speak, she stopped talking.
Yan Xi frowned, looked around cautiously before replying in a low voice: "It's not sure yet, but I think it's a little weird." As long as the snack of the adjuvant is a sweet plum, the pulse of the mother will be unstable, but the dining room prepares this plum every day. I've carefully checked Sweet Plum and found nothing suspicious. ”
Although Yan Xi's temperament has changed, his brain is not stupid, and he is staring closely at the affairs of the Liuyun Palace.
There is no problem with what the crown princess eats every day, why does Imperial Doctor Zhou still say that the pulse is unstable? Ning Yi couldn't be too busy to do anything, and he needed to pay attention to these details.
It's just that I don't know if there is a problem with this sweet plum, and it's always good to discuss everything with Ning Yi and Ning Yue.
"Tell the dining room, don't send sweet plums from today, I will personally make a recipe for them, and then observe for a while to see what the problem is."
Ning Yi is worthy of being the female official in charge of the Liuyun Palace, and her intention to take precautions is to be heavier than others, so she immediately ordered quickly.
And the main owner in the distance didn't know that he was eating poison every day, and he still watched the fish grab food with great interest. Suddenly, a very large koi with a snow-white body and a small crown on its head emerged from the deep water, swimming very fast and looking very fierce to grab food.
Not only jumped out of the water and a carp jumped over the dragon gate, but also swayed left and right when he won the victory, and the group of koi fish avoided it in a mess, causing both of them to shout and scold: "So domineering, exactly the same as the prince!" I haven't seen you in months! Where did you go! ”
The little woman was scolding, and she didn't know if she was scolding the koi or someone.
Although she was disgusted to death, her hands were not idle, and she grabbed a handful of feed and threw it at the koi.
As if she could understand what people were saying, the koi fish naughtily swung its tail and threw the pond water onto the surface of the lake, spraying both heads and faces with the lake water, so angry that she shouted: "Wow! It's going to bully me! Sure enough, it's the same as him! I'll call you wood from now on! ”
Yan looked at the princess's childish demeanor with joy, and quietly asked Ning Yi:
"Hey, have you noticed that our mother's temper has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and she is actually angry with a fish! You don't persuade you, what if you get angry? ”
"It's squeamish, maybe it's because Kwai Shui is coming, or maybe it's a resentment......"
The crown princess is scolding His Highness in a corner, how can she not hear it, but His Royal Highness has indeed snubbed the master recently, and she can't open her mouth if she wants to persuade her, so it is better to let the master vent the resentment in her heart like this, it is better than holding it all the time.
Yan Xi pushed Ning Yi with her elbow, and reminded with her eyebrows:
"My sister is smart. However, tomorrow, when Imperial Doctor Zhou asks for a pulse, he should be reminded to take the pulse carefully. ”
Ning Yi looked at Yanxi's more and more playful temperament, smiled helplessly, walked quickly onto the wooden bridge, and persuaded Shuangshuang, who was still arguing with the koi, to go back to the palace to change clothes.
The side hall of Liuyun Hall has been converted into a study, after dinner, Lu Yi quietly studied ink at the desk, slid one hand on the table with his fingertips, and quietly told his young lady about the situation in the court:
"The partition wall has ears, miss, Li Xiao's two series of door valves are fighting fiercely, and the master will make a move in the near future and cut off his arms and feet."
After reading it, he picked up a cloth towel and wiped off the handwriting. Slender Jade finger on the table smartly wrote:
"Xiao Yushi instructed Zuo Su Zhengtai to impeach An Guogong, was it arranged by his father? Or was it arranged by His Highness? ”
Shuangshuang thought to himself:
If it weren't for that, he would definitely not do anything in the East Palace. It's just that I don't know how His Royal Highness arranged it, and he actually let Li Zuocheng and Xiao Yushi turn to target the Xiao family's relatives?
Could it be that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, His Royal Highness went to Xiao Mansion for this purpose?
What must have been exchanged between His Highness and Xiao Yushi.....
Is it the marquis position promised after ascending the throne?
Or is it the right to administer a part of the city of Shangjing?
Or, Xiao Feida's family is full of lives?
What is it? What is it?
Lu Ling continued to dip the water in the water and wrote on the table:
"It was instructed by the master, but His Highness must know."
Both looked at the increasingly faint handwriting on the table, with mixed tastes.
The cause of the disaster is himself.
If it weren't for Xiao Pinyan's request to abolish the concubine and threaten His Highness's position as the prince, Daddy and His Highness would definitely not act so quickly. In this way, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling the world that the prince is determined to get rid of the Xiao family?
His Royal Highness is not in the court, why does Li Zuocheng have to cooperate with his father, is there a handle held by his father?
Both hesitated, and quickly swiped their fingertips on the table:
"You ask Daddy, is Your Highness okay?"
Lu Ling's face did not change, and she continued to dip the water in the water and wrote on the table:
"Miss's pulse is unstable, the lord tells you that all diets, decoctions and medicines must be careful from now on. He will install people from the Lu Mansion to protect the young lady in the East Palace as soon as possible, and ask the young lady to live as deep as possible and wait for the prince's return. ”
Imperial Physician Zhou came to Liuyun Hall every day for consultation, but the young lady's pulse was still messy, Lu Yi had secretly sent a message to the Lu Mansion, and as soon as Lu Chexi received the news, he immediately suspected that someone in the palace had done something to Shuangshuang's diet.
He was so anxious that he couldn't enter the palace, so he had to find a way to stabilize Shuangshuang and prevent her from going out. As for Lu Ling, her feet are busy not touching the ground, and she has to avoid being discovered when she runs at both ends of the East Palace and Lu Mansion, and she is also tired enough, and the tiredness on her face is visible to the naked eye, and it is difficult for her to become a fine work at a young age.
Shuangshuang sighed, pinched Lu Yi's little hand distressedly, and gently gestured on the table with his fingers:
"Got it, you tell Daddy not to let him worry, I'm fine."
In fact, both lied.
Not only has she been in a steady pulse lately, but she is also in a bad mood. I don't know if it's because emotions affect the pulse, or if someone really poisoned it. His Royal Highness has been away from Beijing for two months, and the dripping has been non-stop for a whole month, but the amount of blood is extremely scarce and not easy to seep into the dress, she doesn't want to make trouble in order to make trouble, so she told Ning Yi and the others not to make a noise.
Imperial Doctor Zhou frowned every time she checked her pulse, and she couldn't find the reason, so she was also frightened.
Today, Lu Ling revealed a lot of news, and both knew that many things that happened in the court were related to His Royal Highness, and it happened that the saint had the intention to eradicate the Xiao family, so he pushed the boat and Li Zuocheng impeached him first. His Royal Highness is betting on grain in northern Xinjiang at the moment, and deliberately delaying it for many days without returning to Beijing, is it also one of the strategies?
His Royal Highness hid everything from herself, or was she not smart enough to help him, since she couldn't help, how could she make trouble for her father because of this little thing?
However, she didn't have much time to think nonsense, and Jing'er stepped into the wing room the next moment, saying that it was the queen's decree and ordered the princess to go to Jingren Palace to meet immediately.
Lu Yi covered it with his sleeve and wiped the water traces on the table.
In her heart, except for Miss, no one in this palace can believe it.
"The East Palace was closed only the day before yesterday, and the queen will act today......."
Both weighed in.
"Niangniang, or continue to call yourself sick and find an excuse to go back to the queen's mother......"
Jing'er looked at her master's face as if it was not good, and she was a little worried.
"No, I'm afraid the queen already knows that I'm prevaricating, and if I escape, I can't escape this time and the next time, so I have to go."
Both of them were a little frustrated.
In the depths of the forbidden palace, even as a crown princess, she is restricted everywhere. As the lord of the six palaces, the queen is in charge of the harem, as long as she says a word, no one is allowed to go to Jingren Palace to ask for peace?
It's just that this time it will definitely need some countermeasures.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Shuangshuang suddenly remembered a few words written by His Highness in the wooden box:
Qianyan, stand-in.
Shuangshuang suddenly had an idea, and his pink fists were clenched and his eyes were firmly determined, and he commanded:
"Jing'er, change my clothes."
In Jingren Palace, Empress Xiao sipped spring tea lightly, and the royal blue Tianmu cup knocked on the edge of the cup, and the crisp sound was like a pearl falling on a jade plate.
Both knees squatted slightly, staring down at the polished smooth ochre black marble floor, maintaining a posture of asking for a cup of tea.
The thighs were sore and painful, but the queen neither gave her a seat nor opened her mouth, and both knew that she was deliberately grinding, and no matter how unconvinced, she could only endure it.
Aunt Chunming, who was beside the queen, stepped forward to add another pot of hot water, and Empress Xiao slowly raised her head, glanced at her pale faces, and said coolly: "It seems that the princess's body is well adjusted, and her face looks much better than before." ”
"Thanks to the blessing of the queen's mother, it has only improved a little in the past few days."
Both gritted their teeth and endured the pain in their limbs, and replied in a trembling voice.
"Really?"
Empress Xiao smiled coldly:
"Since you are in peace, why should you be afraid of closing the door of the East Palace and not allowing people to enter or leave? This eighty percent is not your order, is it the prince? Who does he want to protect? ”
"This ...... I don't know. ”
Both raised their eyes to look at Queen Xiao, although their faces pretended to be ignorant and ignorant, they kept mocking in their hearts:
Who does His Highness protect? Who else can you protect? Isn't the closure of the East Palace just to protect her?
The queen deliberately asked this, what does it mean?
"Let's be flat."
Empress Xiao finally showed mercy.
Both trembled and straightened up, thanking them properly.
Looking at the fragile appearance of the crown princess being tossed, the queen was in a very good mood, hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly:
"Doesn't the crown princess think that the prince cares more about Nuoxue than about you?"
Only then did Shuangshuang understand the queen's intention to summon her, and she actually wanted to sow discord!
She knows better than anyone what His Royal Highness means to Xiao Nuoxue and the Xiao family, not to mention how deep the relationship between His Royal Highness and herself is, the queen actually wants to use a counter-plot whimsically!
Is she really stupid?
The corners of Shuangshuang's mouth touched lightly, and he wanted to laugh twice but didn't dare, so he had to play the weak and ignorant little white rabbit:
"Your Highness's intentions, the retainers dare not speculate......"
"The crown princess doesn't really think that she will monopolize the crown prince's favor forever, right? You can't even fight the frost maid, how can you keep the prince's heart forever? Even if you are favored for a while, there will only be more and more women in the East Palace, younger and more beautiful, before you, and even more so after you. Look at the first day of the Lunar New Year, who did the prince take back to the door? It's your turn in the second year of junior high school. Look at the Li Xiao family fighting each other this time, who is the purpose of closing the East Palace? Protecting the crown princess, or protecting Xiao Shiji? If you naively think that the prince is protecting you, you are very wrong. ”
Empress Xiao's eyes were like torches staring at Shuangshuang tightly, not letting go of the changes on her face at all.
