Chapter 265: Box Lid
The smell of medicine coming out of Gu Niangzi's house wafted between the houses where several concubines lived nearby.
Some people don't feel anything, and some people don't.
"New Year's Day, what medicine to drink! It's really not unlucky. Chen Niangzi, who lived next door to Gu Niangzi, scolded and said.
Mrs. Chen had long known that she was pregnant, but she never said it.
Since she entered the palace, she didn't like Yuan Qianqian, and she was beaten and scolded several times because she collided with Yuan Qianqian.
Therefore, she was afraid that the news of her pregnancy would hinder Yuan Qianqian's eyes, and she would retaliate against her, so she had extra eyes, and she was going to hide it first, and wait until the month was older to announce it, but she didn't expect to escape, otherwise she would have been one more person who was killed by the queen a few days ago.
Although she hides it from others, she herself knows the changes in Chen Niangzi's body.
Her taste has changed, she likes to eat sour and spicy things, and she is very hungry and cold in winter, and once she really couldn't help it, and secretly licked two mouthfuls of snow on her back.
Moreover, her temper has also become bad, smelling the smell of medicine from next door, she wants to vomit for a while, and before she realizes that she should restrain herself, she scolds casually.
Chen Niangzi looked at the two palace maids in the house, and knew that they should not run to Gu Niangzi next door to talk nonsense, patted her thigh, carried a handkerchief, and went to Gu Niangzi's house.
I saw that on the small charcoal stove in Gu Niangzi's house, which was usually warm, there was a round medicine jar, and the black medicinal juice in it was tumbling, and the strong and disgusting smell of medicine was emanating from it.
"Yo, Sister Gu, what kind of illness do you have, and you still drink medicine for the New Year." Chen Niangzi and Gu Niangzi are quite familiar with each other, so they asked politely.
"I'm not very good, the last time Kwai Shui didn't go clean, today I called Ouyang Divine Doctor and prescribed me medicine." Gu Niangzi looked at Ou Chen Niangzi with big watery eyes.
Mrs. Chen said strangely: "Hey, when Doctor Ouyang came to check everyone's pulse in the morning, weren't you there?" ”
"Well, I went to Mrs. Yan at that time. When I used to be at home, I was treated by a doctor, and I really didn't have the face to tell a male doctor about this kind of private matter. Yan Niangzi also knows medical skills, she helped me take the pulse, looked at my mouth, tongue and eyes, and relayed my condition to Ouyang Divine Doctor, who prescribed me medicine. "Gu Niangzi is honest and honest, and she comes to the Tao of 1510.
Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "No wonder! ”
She looked at Gu Niangzi with some schadenfreude.
She didn't let Ouyang Shaoming check her pulse in the morning, she was pregnant for more than two months, even if it was an ordinary doctor, she could diagnose that she was pregnant, so she simply didn't see Ouyang Shaoming, so as not to go.
This Gu Niangzi is also pitiful enough, the water is not adjusted, even if she takes medicine, she doesn't know when she will be able to recuperate, let alone become pregnant.
Thinking about it like this, Mrs. Chen felt that the smell of medicine in Gu Niangzi's house was not so bad, so she chatted a few words and left.
After a while, Gu Niangzi's house came and went, and five or six groups of people came to inquire about the news, some came in person, and some supported the maids.
Concubine Shui Ying also asked someone to come and see it, because Shui Ying was also drinking medicine to regulate her body, and she also specially asked someone to send a box of candied fruit, saying that she usually used it after drinking the medicine sweetly, and it did not hinder the effect of the medicine.
Sent to usher, Gu Niangzi finally relaxed, the soup boiling on the fire was also good, and the palace maid poured a thick bowl and put it on the table, exuding a slightly warm heat.
"Lady, it's time to drink the medicine, change your clothes after drinking, don't miss tonight's palace banquet.
The palace maid beside her was talking as she picked up the bowl and walked towards Gu Niangzi.
"Yes, hand it to me." As Gu Niangzi spoke, she casually picked up a cup of tea in her hand and took two sips.
Her palace maid took the bowl of thick black medicinal juice and carefully poured the soup into the soil of a large pot of plum blossom potted plants next to her before putting the bowl on the table.
After the performance, Gu Niangzi smiled slightly, walked back to the house, and under the service of the palace maid, she changed into a light green cotton palace dress, dressed plainly and pleasantly, seeing that the time was not early, she walked out of the door and went straight to Chen Niangzi's house.
In the main hall of Mrs. Chen's house, there was only one palace maid, and when she saw Gu Niangzi, the palace maid saluted and said softly: "Our lady is still changing clothes." You wait a minute. ”
"Well, I'll wait, I'll go to the palace banquet with Sister Chen." Gu Niangzi curled the corners of her mouth and smiled sweetly.
Mrs. Chen dressed up very slowly, and Mrs. Gu waited for more than a quarter of an hour before she came out. I saw that Mrs. Chen was wearing a slightly wide dark red cotton suit, looking at the person who was a lot fatter, looking very bloated, only swept her eyebrows lightly, the lipstick and powder were not on, the only conspicuous thing was that the emerald green jade on her hair was shaking.
When Mrs. Chen saw Gu Niangzi, she stepped forward to hold her arm affectionately and said, "Are you here?" Let's go! ”
"Sister is going like this, will Your Highness be unhappy when she sees it." Gu Niangzi looked at Chen Niangzi's plain face worriedly.
"It's nothing that His Royal Highness is unhappy when he sees it, what I'm afraid of is that I'm dressed up, and Concubine Yuan is not happy when I see it."
Chen Niangzi and Concubine Yuan's file, everyone basically knows about it, and when they heard Chen Niangzi say this, Gu Niangzi didn't persuade her.
The two of them held each other's arms, and when they walked out of the door, they saw a group of aunts coming from the atrium, only a few of them knew each other, and the rest were all unfamiliar faces.
As soon as those aunts saw Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Gu, they immediately pounced and said loudly, "The two ladies should go back to the house first." Before they could figure out what was going on, they were separated by the aunts and hugged back to their rooms.
Although these aunts had never seen them, they were obviously not good, and as soon as they came in, they began to rummage through the cabinets in batches.
Gu Niangzi's heart was beating suddenly, sitting on the stool, and she could vaguely hear the angry scolding of Chen Niangzi next door, obviously she had also searched over there.
These aunts were very sharp, their eyes were vicious, and they searched very carefully, even knocking on every floor tile, and even the gaps in the carved furniture would be poked with the thin silver wire rods taken out of their arms.
The search was over, and there was an aunt standing beside her, her eyes as if glued to her, staring at her and the palace maid who served her.
Although Gu Niangzi's eyes didn't dare to look around, the pot of plum blossoms that the palace maid poured medicine on in the afternoon appeared in her heart from time to time.
It stands to reason that it is not a big deal to spill the medicine you boiled and not drink it, but this group of aunts is really anxious and strange, so that Gu Niangzi is not sure of her idea.
At this time, the group of aunts came out of the house, and one of them held a grass ash belt for sunflower water in his hand, and asked with a scrutinizing expression, "Why did the lady smear some rouge on this sunflower water belt?" ”
Gu Niangzi's hand shook violently.
In order to pretend that her sunflower water is not clean, and she is not good at getting blood, she has brought some rouge on the sunflower water in the past few days, and asked the palace maid to dress up and wash it.
I didn't expect these aunts to come in too much of a hurry, today's fake tape has just been soaked in water, and there are still some faint traces of pink rouge on it, and I haven't had time to destroy it yet.
"This ...... This ......" Gu Niangzi thought of the bloody and beaten bodies of Bi Ying and Hu Niangzi that she had seen a few days ago, and her whole body trembled, and in the blink of an eye, large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Is she going to follow in the footsteps of Biying and Hu Niangzi? But this kid is definitely the prince's!
Gu Niangzi's eyes were full of flowers, her hands and feet were cold, her eyes were dark, and she slipped off the chair softly.
The Chen lady next door to her is no better than her.
In order to conceal the news that she was not stopped, and the palace maids around her were not as reliable as her, her methods were more ruthless, so she simply scratched her inner thigh and impersonated it with the blood there. Those aunts were vicious in their eyes, and directly ripped off Mrs. Chen's clothes, exposing her scarred wounds.
In this way, Mrs. Chen pretended to come to Kwai Shui, but in fact, she was pregnant, so she naturally couldn't hide it.
At this time, in the Chuxiu Palace, there was such a group of aunts in every woman's room.
Yan Shuyu straightened her back and sat on the chair, the charcoal basin in her room had never been hot, but now, her back was already wet with sweat.
She has always been very careful, she has hidden all the medicines that Ouyang Shaoming gave her, and most of them have been used, and now only the small box of abortion pills is left, which she holds in the palm of her hand.
She had just changed her clothes in the house, and she took out the box, and was about to hide the medicine in her fingernails when the group of aunts outside rushed in. If it weren't for the long wide-sleeved clothes she was wearing today, her hand holding the medicine would have been exposed.
Now, there is still an aunt watching her, being stared at by that aunt, Yan Shuyu knows that sooner or later this aunt will search her body.
Now, she had to hide the medicine in an instant in a place where no one could find it.
Yan Shuyu looked at the teacup on the table, and kept simulating the actions she should do when drinking tea in her mind.
Finally, as if unintentionally, she reached out and picked up the teacup with the lid on the table, and raised her head to drink.
Her palm held the teacup, and gently swiped it over her mouth, and the small medicine box was stuffed into her mouth.
Usually when she finishes it in the palm of her hand, she thinks that this flat box with only the mouth of the bottle is not as small as her thumb, which is too compact, and she is even afraid that she will not find it if she falls on the ground. But today she wanted to swallow it, but it was so difficult, the box hurt her throat, and she drank a few mouthfuls of water before swallowing it.
The aunt watched Yan Shuyu drink water, and did not stop it, nor did she notice the small movements she made with her wide sleeves.
The group of aunts searched around Yan Shuyu's house, searched her body, and even asked her to take off her clothes and walk a few steps in front of them, but they didn't find anything useful, and finally left.
Yan Shuyu looked at the figures they were leaving, her face contorted, and she rushed to the toilet behind the bed frame in the inner room, and grabbed her throat.
There was a sound of retching, and it had been a long time since the noon meal was over, and Yan Shuyu only spit out a large amount of sour water. In the pile of sour water, a thumb-sized white thing stood out, the lid of the box where the abortion pill was placed.
Yan Shuyu's pupils suddenly dilated!
Only the lid? Doesn't that mean that the medicine has entered her body!
