Chapter 617: Raising Tigers for Trouble (1)
Gao Welfare is wary of Jiao Changqing, not for a day or two. Over the years, he has seen everything Jiao Changqing has done in his eyes and in his heart.
Jiao Changqing was originally the most relied on and trusted person by Niangniang, but now he has become a different person. He has repeatedly spoken disrespectfully to Niangniang, and he is still like this in front of them, how can he be so presumptuous when he is alone with Niangniang?
Meng Xilan looked at Gao Fuli's gradually changing face, and sighed: "Jiao Changqing is useful to this palace, don't touch him!" Bengong knows in his heart that he will not be the second Chu Jingchuan! ”
Gao Fuli's heart sank when he heard this, and when he saw Niangniang say this, he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Slaves will never act without permission." Doctor Jiao is different from others...... The minions are all at the behest of the mother! ”
Meng Xilan looked at him deeply: "Jiao Changqing is a special person to this palace, and no one is allowed to touch him in this palace...... If you want to move, Hongu will do it yourself! ”
Gao Fuli was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and instantly understood the deep meaning of his mother's words.
Meng Xilan's eyes were gloomy, Jiao Changqing was such a smart and cautious person, she was the only one in the world who could let him down his guard. So, unless it was a last resort, she would never touch him, never!
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace was full of joy. Everyone seems to have forgotten a year ago today, when the desolation in the palace and the tragic situation in the capital were at that time!
Xu is the past, and it suddenly came to mind, making Meng Xilan can't help but drink a few more glasses.
She was a person who was not strong enough to drink, and after three glasses, her cheeks turned crimson.
Changsheng said with a worried face: "Queen Mother, are you okay?" ”
Meng Xilan had a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said with a lazy expression: "This palace is happy today, so I drank a few more glasses." It's okay, it's okay, it's hard to be happy! ”
Changsheng's eyes sank when he heard this, is the queen mother really happy?
Why is there a faint melancholy between her eyebrows? However, he could not know the sorrows hidden in the heart of the queen mother.
Zhou Yan'er diligently stepped forward to pour tea for the Queen Mother, but she kept looking at the emperor out of the corner of her eyes.
The palace ladies danced, Meng Xilan was dazzled, and she was a little dizzy for a while.
She rested her head on one hand, closed her eyes, and pressed her fingertips lightly on her temples.
When she was over, she said to Changsheng: "This palace wants to go and see your father." ”
"Erchen will accompany you." Changsheng then took her arm and stood up.
Meng Xilan patted his hand: "No need, you still accompany the queen." On the third watch day, you have to prepare for the ceremony, which is even harder! ”
Although the festival is a joyful thing, for the emperor, there are more than one or two things to do to worship the ancestors and worship the sky, and it is the most hard.
"The queen mother is the son's sedan chair!" Changsheng helped her to stand up with both hands.
Meng Xilan nodded and no longer refused.
On a day like today, high welfare naturally has to accompany the mother.
"Hurrah, rest assured, there are minions here."
The master and servant walked side by side, all the way to Taihe Palace. Who knows, as soon as I entered the hall, I smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.
At this hour, why is there still a medicinal fragrance?
Gao Fuli immediately asked the little eunuch in the inner hall: "Who is inside?" ”
"Father-in-law, it's Master Jiao."
Meng Xilan's face changed slightly when she heard this, straightened her back, held Gao Fuli's hand, and walked into the hall.
Jiao Changqing didn't expect Meng Xilan to come over at this hour, he was holding a bowl of steaming decoction in his hand, and seemed to be waiting to cool down.
Meng Xilan looked at what he was doing, and suddenly made a cold face: "Jiao Changqing, what are you doing?" ”
Zhou Youchen has stopped taking medication for more than half a year.
"Niangniang, Weichen will use medicine for the emperor again......" Jiao Changqing's face did not change, and his tone was flat.
Meng Xilan walked over quickly, waved his hand, knocked over the decoction in his hand, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground in an instant, and the decoction was scattered all over the ground.
This sound startled Zhou Youchen, who was sitting on the couch.
He turned his head to look at the door, looked at Meng Xilan, and muttered, "Lan'er......"
Jiao Changqing saw that Meng Xilan was so excited, and his thick eyebrows frowned slightly: "Why should Niangniang be like this?" It is very unlucky to break the porcelain bowl like this! ”
Seeing this, Gao Fuli stepped forward to ease the atmosphere and said: "Broken peace, broken peace." After speaking, he summoned the little eunuch to come in and clean up.
Meng Xilan glanced at Jiao Changqing fiercely, then went to Zhou Youchen's side, stroked his back, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, let's sleep." ”
Under her comfort, Zhou Youchen quickly fell asleep, and the smell of medicine in the hall gradually dissipated.
Jiao Changqing looked at him coldly, and his face was not ordinarily ugly.
Gao Fuli guarded his mother inch by inch, thinking to himself, if Jiao Changqing dared to make a mistake tonight, he would simply uproot him.
If it weren't for Niangniang's gratitude to him, he wouldn't have been able to tolerate him.
Meng Xilan covered Zhou Youchen with a quilt, and when he fell asleep, he turned to look at Jiao Changqing.
"Imperial Doctor Jiao, let's take a step to speak."
What just happened may be a coincidence, but maybe it wasn't.
Looking at Jiao Changqing's expression, he didn't seem to care that he found out what he had done.
Jiao Changqing followed Meng Xilan to the outer hall, and Gao Fuli's expression on the side turned condensed, and his eyes were always staring at Jiao Changqing's every move.
"This palace has clearly explained that the Emperor Taishang no longer needs to use decoction. Why do you want to use drugs without permission? ”
Jiao Changqing explained lightly: "Weichen just diagnosed the pulse of the Emperor Taishang, and when he saw that his pulse was violated, he gave him some medicine. ”
Halfway through his speech, he paused deliberately: "Does Niangniang think that Weichen is harming His Highness?" That's just a tonic. ”
Meng Xilan looked at him coldly: "Whether it's tonic or poison, how difficult is it for you?" Hongu doesn't know how to distinguish ...... at all."
"What do you mean?"
Could it be that she already has no trust in him?
"Doesn't Niangniang already believe in Weichen?"
Meng Xilan said with a faint look in her eyes: "This palace doesn't know whether to believe you or not now." ”
Her words pierced Jiao Changqing's heart, like a sharp sword, stabbing into his heart.
Jiao Changqing chuckled, and his laughter was unpredictable.
"Niangniang said this, could it be that she wants to cure the sins of Weichen today?"
Meng Xilan shook her head and said, "This palace has no such intention, and you don't have to test this palace's patience anymore." You have supported this palace for many years, and this palace has never been wary of you. In the future, the position of the head of the hospital will be unassailable! ”
She repeatedly backed down to him, but she also had to speak clearly.
Jiao Changqing stepped forward and was about to speak, but saw Gao Fuli blocking in front of him and said: "Lord Jiao, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is the day of joy, why do you want to make the Queen Mother unhappy?" Adults are the people who rely on the most in their hearts, don't you know which is more important? ”
His tone was low, as if there was something in his words.
Jiao Changqing raised his eyebrows to look at him, and when he saw his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What Niangniang said today, Weichen has written it down." In the future, Weichen always has a way to win back the trust of his mother! ”
He said it categorically, and walked away.
Meng Xilan twisted her eyebrows lightly and shook her head secretly.
Why did he repeatedly embarrass her? Didn't he know what kind of person she was?
"Niangniang, don't be angry...... It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I can't be angry. ”
If the New Year's Day is not good, the whole year after that will be unsmooth. Niangniang shouldn't be unhappy today, it's rare that she can still hold the capital, the palace, and the capital safely.
Meng Xilan looked at the snowy night sky outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "This palace is not angry, but I just feel disappointed." Jiao Changqing...... He knows so many secrets of this palace...... Before he knew it, Hongu actually raised a tiger and turned him into a most dangerous person! ”
Gao Welfare was very entangled in his heart when he heard this.
"Mother, how can this be your fault? The minions have accompanied you all the way to the present, and you can see it clearly and clearly. If you don't do some things, no one will do them. Some people, mothers do not live up, and they will suffer from it in the future! Niangniang, let the slave say something that shouldn't be said, if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand it for a long time. ”
Meng Xilan sighed softly: "Perhaps, it would be better for this palace to admit defeat earlier!" ”
How many people can she fight alone? Life is short for decades, and she is already halfway there! Could it be that she still has to calculate like this for the rest of the years...... Have to have a murderous heart all the time?
If that's the case, it's better to end it and throw in the towel.
Gao Fuli was puzzled, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, you are so decent, how can you say such a thing......"
Meng Xilan saw that he was uneasy, so she said, "This palace is just a momentary emotion. ”
Is it really just emotion? Why is it so disturbing?
"Xiao Lizi, you go and bring an everlasting lamp to the palace. Hongu wants to keep vigil here......"
It was cold and snowy outside, and she didn't have to go back to Cining Palace.
Gao Fuli carried the ever-bright lantern and accompanied Meng Xilan to guard the sleeping emperor, waiting for the morning sun on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
After the ceremony, Changsheng and the queen went to the Buddha hall to pray for blessings and incense.
Who knows, on the way in the past, the queen's sedan chair suddenly had an accident.
Xie Zhenzhen sat in the sedan chair and was injured slightly, although it didn't matter, but it was a tire.
However, when she was only seven months pregnant, she was about to give birth prematurely, which was a bad omen.
Meng Xilan came to Kunning Palace with a hanging heart, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Changsheng with a blue face, and Xie Zhenzhen's mournful cry came from her ears.
"Who is it? Who is going to harm Hongu? "Someone, someone...... This palace wants to see the Queen Mother......"
The grandmothers were so appeased, but they couldn't calm Xie Zhenzhen's uneasy emotions.
Meng Xilan stared at her eyebrows, walked up to Changsheng and said, "Don't stay here, go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace." There is a queen mother here, you can rest assured. ”
If he stays any longer, his heart will only be more chaotic, more panicked, and more uncomfortable! If something really happens to the child, he is afraid that it will be even more difficult for him to accept!
Changsheng was losing his backbone at the moment, and when he saw his mother, he felt that he could breathe again: "Mother, it was just an accident." Don't listen to the queen......"
Meng Xilan didn't wait for him to finish the second half of the sentence, and urged softly: "I know in my heart, you go first." The queen also cares too much about this child, which is why she is so frightened! This palace has a way to appease her, you can rest assured. ”
