Chapter Twenty-Three: People Grow and Hate Water
The banquet dispersed, and the group marched to the gate of the palace, and the emperor hurriedly sent someone to announce the decree. An urgent military report came from Mobei, and the emperor ordered the princes and several important ministers to go to the Xuanzheng Palace to discuss the military situation. Nangong Jing was naturally also in this column, and he hurriedly instructed Han Yue and Su Yuyan to walk briskly towards the palace.
Su Yuyan couldn't calm down in her heart, but she still had to resist the bursts of hatred that came to her, and she had to go home in the same carriage with Han Yue, so you can imagine how depressed her heart is at the moment.
I remember that when I came, Su Yanyan was still smiling, and from time to time she would say a few words to Han Yue. But now on the return trip, Su Pingyan pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes staring at the embroidered curtain on the car window in a daze. I don't know if it's because of the dim light, her face is also a little faintly blue.
Han Yue didn't know what Su Yuyan was thinking at this time, seeing her like this, she thought she was uncomfortable. Nangong Jing handed over Su Pingyan to Hanyue to take care of, and Hanyue couldn't be negligent. She asked, "Apple Yan, your face is not very good-looking, but what is uncomfortable?" ”
When Su Yuyan heard Han Yue's voice, she was bored, but she couldn't show it, her heart was even more unbearable, and the expression on her face became more and more strange, "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired, I'll rest for a while." As she spoke, she closed her eyes despite Hanyue's answer.
Han Yue faintly felt a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't say what was strange, so she went with her. There was silence in the carriage, save for the sound of wheels rolling.
After Su Yuyan returned to the Apple Pavilion, he was furious, and standing outside the door, he could hear the sound of crackling in the room, and all kinds of porcelain and jade being smashed on the ground. The maidservants trembled one by one, trembling like chaff, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, for fear that their masters would get angry and implicate themselves for no reason.
Su Yuyan picked up a blue and white amphora vase in her hand and was about to throw it to the ground, but none of the slaves and maids around dared to step forward to dissuade her. Mother Jiang shook her head helplessly, and hurriedly rushed up to stop Su Yuyan, "Concubine Fang, you dissipate your anger first, it's not worth hurting yourself for those individuals, besides, you have to think about it for Xiao Shizi now." Mother Jiang persuaded hard, and finally persuaded Su Pingyan to sit down, and she quickly instructed the little maid Ru'er to pour a glass of water for Su Pingyan.
Ru'er held the tray and carefully delivered the tea to Su Yanyan's hand. Su Pingyan made such a big fire and felt that her mouth was dry, she reached out and took the teacup, and as soon as she took a sip, she said angrily, ", do you want to burn me to death?" To die? Su Yuyan's anger that had just subsided was rushing up again at this moment, and she picked up the cup and smashed it on Ru'er's head.
Ru'er couldn't dodge, so he could only take the smash stubbornly. With this practical force, the cups were smashed, Ru'er's forehead broke a large piece of skin, and blood flowed. The hot tea was left on his face, and many of his skin were burned with red marks.
Ru'er didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Concubine Su spares her life, Concubine Su spares her life, the slave and maid don't have a heart, the slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid don't dare anymore...... Please spare your life...... "Ru'er is as pitiful as she is, everyone can't bear to look at it, but no one dares to speak, they all kneel quietly.
The more Su Yanyan thought about it, the more angry she became, she rushed to the corner table, picked up a feather duster on the table and hit Ru'er with her head and face. "Everyone looks down on me, even you, a, look down on me, don't you, I think you're looking for death." Su Pingyan fought more and more fiercely, and begged for mercy repeatedly.
Mother Jiang saw that Su Pingyan was really hard, and if she continued to fight, she was afraid that she would die, so she boldly went up again to dissuade her, "Ouch, concubine, be merciful, be merciful." Why do you do this to yourself for the sake of a? Mother Jiang said, reaching out to stop Su Yanyan's movements.
Mother Jiang then said sharply to Ru'er, "Little hooves, why don't you get out of the way, what's in the way here!" Su Pingyan's chest rose and fell violently, and she didn't stop it when she heard Mother Jiang say this. Seeing this, Ru'er thanked him repeatedly, and then as if he had been pardoned, he crawled to the corner and retreated.
Su Yanyan gasped and sat down, she blamed Han Yue for the humiliation she suffered today, "Xiao Hanyue, if you don't let me feel better, I will never let you feel better." One day, this princess seat will be replaced by me! ”
Fang had been angry, and after calming down at the moment, Su Pingyan found that her stomach was a little uncomfortable, as if it was painful like a pinprick, her face gradually turned pale, and she covered her stomach and said, "Mother Jiang, my stomach hurts so much......"
Mother Jiang was nervous when she heard this, she hurriedly looked at Su Yuyan, this look was terrible, "Oh, it's not good, go and call Dr. Li to come, the side concubine is red." Mother Jiang was terrified, and the maids in the house were in a mess.
After Dr. Li came, he first used a golden needle to stop Su Yuyan's bleeding, and then, he took the pulse for a long time, silent, but his face became more and more solemn, his brows gradually tightened, and finally shook his head and said, "Concubine Su, please forgive the villain for not being able to do anything." ”
Su Yanyan struggled to sit up from the bed when she heard this, her face full of disbelief, "What did you say?" What happened to my child? ”
"Hey......" Dr. Li sighed and said, "Concubine Su, I'm afraid this child won't be able to keep it." ”
Dr. Li's words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Su Pingyan, but she was already very weak at this time, but she still had to strengthen her strength, she glared at her beautifully, "Aren't you most famous for being able to rejuvenate your hands?" How did it turn out to be a useless one! You have received so many benefits from me over this period of time, but in the end you can't keep my child, believe it or not, I killed you? Su Pingyan's eyes turned red when he said that.
Doctor Li broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, knelt on the ground and said, "Concubine Su, even if you kill the villain, the villain can't do anything." The villain told you before that your physique is weak, and the fetus is already unstable, so don't think too much, and don't get angry. Side concubine, have you ever done what the villain said? ”
Su Yuyan suddenly collapsed on the bed, causing Jiang's mother to exclaim. This child is extremely important to Su Pingyan, this is not only her first child with Nangong Jing, but also her hope to sit on the throne of the princess in the future, and now it is all ruined, all ruined! Su Yanyan was heartbroken, and leaned on Jiang's mother in a daze and cried.
She cried for a long time, until she was exhausted. She tucked away her tears with a handkerchief, and suddenly asked, "Doctor Li, how long can you keep this fetus at most?" ”
Doctor Li was very surprised, and he didn't know what Su Yanyan's intentions were, but he didn't dare to ask more, and replied truthfully, "If the villain smokes the side concubine every day, and then mixes it with medicine, it is estimated that ...... It is estimated that it can drag on for about half a month at most. ”
Su Yanyan's eyes were red and swollen, and he muttered for a moment, "Half a month...... Half a month is enough. You will protect this baby for me for another half a month. ”
"Yes, villain obeys." Dr. Su obeyed.
"Also, remember not to spread today's events, otherwise it will ......" Su Yuyan's eyes stared coldly at Doctor Su, who only felt as if a cold poisonous snake was slowly crawling over him, making him feel furious in his heart.
"Yes, yes, yes, the villain understands, Concubine Su can rest assured, the villain will be tight-lipped." Dr. Su nodded yes again and again, and he raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat dripping from his forehead with his sleeve. He didn't want to stay in this room for a moment now, so he hurriedly saluted, and then hurried away.
Silence returned to the room, and Su Yuyan looked around the people in the room sharply, and said, "You too, today's matter, I don't want to hear half a word outside." "Everyone has seen Su Yuyan's methods, where do they dare not obey.
Su Pingyan only left Jiang's mother by her side, Jiang's mother has always regarded Su Pingyan as her own, at this moment Su Pingyan is like this, how can she not feel distressed, and she unconsciously hates Xiao Hanyue like Su Pingyan, "I brought up a young lady since I was a child, when have you ever suffered such a crime, it was Xiao Hanyue's slut who harmed you." ”
"Mother Jiang, I want Xiao Hanyue's slut to pay for my child's life!" The crazy hatred in Su Yuyan's heart seemed to engulf her, and she wanted to tear Xiao Hanyue apart. Her eyes were as vicious as a snake and scorpion, and every word she uttered was like a drop of venom seeping into the endless night.
And at this moment, the sleeping cold moon was completely unaware of the coming storm.
In the dead of night, Ru'er, who was full of scars, quietly came to the side door of Han Yuxuan, she looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so she learned to call the cuckoo twice, and then the small door opened, and a figure flashed out.
"Sister Chunqin, go and report to the master, Concubine Su is going to attack the princess." As soon as Ru'er opened her mouth, she popped out such a sentence.
Chunqin didn't expect Su Pingyan to make a move at this juncture, and was quite surprised. But what shocked her even more was that Ru'er's face was covered with blood and scars, she grabbed Ru'er's hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Why is his face scarred? When Ru'er asked her like this, she suddenly felt aggrieved, so she listened to all today's events with Chunqin.
Chunqin was very angry after hearing this, "Su Pingyan, this woman is so ruthless and vicious, she really has a beautiful face for nothing." She looked at Ru'er with pity, "Ru'er, the wound on your face must be treated immediately, otherwise it will be infected." Wait a minute, I have some medicine in my room that can heal my wounds, so I'll go and get it for you." After Chunqin finished speaking, she hurriedly ran away.
Early the next morning, Chunqin went out of the house in the name of buying goods for the princess. She walked around the market, and when she was sure that no one was following her, she walked towards a house deep in the alley.
"Slaves and maids see masters." As soon as Chunqin entered the house, she knelt down and saluted.
"Get up." The man who spoke was a man standing by the window, wearing a black cloak that covered most of his face, revealing only his delicate chin, and against the light, and could not see his true face.
When the man saw Chunqin coming, he went to the table and sat down, and took off the cloak that covered his face. Such a peerless and bewitching and handsome face, who can it be if it is not the current Five Princes and King Nangong Heng?
Chunqin said as described one by one, and after finishing speaking, she asked, "Master, what should the slave and maid do?" Do you need to remind the princess? ”
Nangong Heng played with the jade ring in his hand and said leisurely, "You don't have to do anything, just wait and see what happens, and respond in time if there is any trouble." After all, the phoenix nirvana can only be reborn if it is bathed in fire. ”
