Chapter 26: Confronting each other
Yongshou Palace.
An Concubine held the tea, and the lid of the cup gently stirred the green leaves floating on it, tinking.
The kneeling hazel couldn't hold it anymore, and after shaking her body, An Concubine said leisurely: "Get up." ”
Hazel frowned and stroked her knees, half-bent over, and moved to the openwork rosewood chair next to her and sat down.
An Concubine swept her leg and said, "It's not that this palace doesn't feel sorry for you, you don't know how much trouble it will cause if you don't know how much trouble it will cause?" ”
Hazel explained: "I don't know how angry the slave is! ”
"Grievances like yours have eaten a lot and seen a lot, if you are like you, you will be publicized all over the world when you encounter problems, and I can't let everyone listen to what you think, I won't have the opportunity to sit here for a long time!" An Concubine put the tea bowl on the table heavily, and the tea splashed everywhere.
"Follow the teachings of the mother." Hazel softened and said.
As he was talking, Li Shou came in and said, "Niangniang, the kidnapper of the precious person is Xu Zhongyi, the guard in charge of the West Sixth Palace. ”
"Xu Zhongyi? He seems to have relatives working on errands in the palace? An Concubine recalled.
"Exactly, that Li guard's father is on an errand in the Tai Hospital." Li Shou said.
"Xu Tianshou?" An Concubine remembered and said.
"It's Imperial Doctor Xu." Li Shou said.
Hazel got up and said, "This Xu Zhongyi, I want to sue the emperor about him!" ”
Concubine An glared at her, causing her to reluctantly sit back in her chair.
"He kidnapped you, but now there's no evidence at all. Besides, he didn't hurt you, what's the use of catching only a little guard? Concubine An shook her head, expecting her to be charming and smart, I thought she was a brain, but who knew that she was so unsweet.
"Keep an eye on Li Zhongyi, and once you find out that he is in contact with Wei, you will report it immediately." An Concubine commanded.
"Yes." Li Shou received the order and retreated.
"This is your good sister." An Concubine sneered.
Hazel's face turned blue.
Wei Linlang and Wu Ya Jingyu entered the palace as slaves with her, and they were stronger than them in terms of appearance and figure, but they were the ones who favored the master. Wei Linlang pleaded with the emperor and wanted to ask her to be a palace maid, saying that it was much easier than doing rough work in the dining room.
She will never be able to appreciate this switch between sister and master and servant, this difference between the clouds and the earth, which tortures her self-esteem every day.
Now she is relying on clinging to An Concubine and sealing the noble master, and she is jealous and used! It's infuriating!
Seeing her gritting her teeth, Concubine An said, "It's not that there is no chance to retaliate." ”
Seeing her eyebrows flashing, she continued: "Concubine Rong's Changhua and Chengrui, Concubine Hui's Chengqing, and even the former queen's Chenghu all died young, and the only one who found out the real cause was Concubine Rong's Saiyin Chahun." As long as it is done cleanly, nature will not be aware. ”
Seeing Hazel's timid look, she said: "When the time comes, your good sister will not only lose the prince, but also have to bear the charge of not being able to keep the dragon fetus, and she will already fall out of favor, and it will be difficult to get up again." Degui is another unlucky insect the year before last, and among this newcomer, there is only you. But if she, the prince, is born, it will be a different situation, you think about it yourself. ”
"Rong slave maid, think about it......" Hazel replied.
On this day, Wei came to Changchun Palace, and when he arrived at the door of the west hall of the backyard, he saw a brand-new plaque hanging under the eaves of the corridor.
"Starlight Pavilion." She stared at the gilded letters, was stunned for a moment, and then walked inside.
"Sister." She hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Jing Yu's sleeve.
"Speak slowly." Jing Yu led her to sit on the Luohan couch near the window and said.
Camellia then handed over a delicate sachet.
Jing Yu took it, opened it and smelled it, it was an extremely rare high-quality spice, and said, "Why did my sister ask me to see this?" ”
Linlang hurriedly snatched it and threw it to the camellia, and said, "Sister, don't smell too much, this is poisonous!" ”
Jing Yu exclaimed: "This is a sachet hanging on the bed curtain, you can smell it every night, if it is poisonous, sister, you are pregnant now......
Following the aftertaste of his fingertips, Jing Yu suddenly said, "There is a smell of musk!" "Jing Yu cooks medicinal food, and has been proficient in medicinal materials since he was a child, so it should not be easy for ordinary people to notice.
Linlang said in a low voice: "Yesterday at noon, Hazel came to give it to me, and it was hung with me, saying that it was the most effective to ward off evil spirits and protect the fetus. Doctor Xu came to see it and said that it was a little unstable fetal heartbeat, but fortunately I thought of this, and Doctor Xu said that musk was added to it. ”
Linlang's eyes were red, and she said: "I just thought that the two of us were just ordinary jealousy, I was wrong, and I shouldn't take the opportunity to meet the saint." But sister, you also know, I have been forgotten by the emperor, and I have been suppressed by her and An Concubine everywhere in Changchun Palace. I just want to have a son and a half daughter to talk about to pass the long loneliness! I only planned to use her this time, I didn't think about snatching the emperor from her, and I didn't know that I had that ability. I don't want her to hate me so much, that she wants the life of the child in my womb. ”
"In this case, you should be careful in the future, and don't use anything that has not been confirmed." Jing Yu was relieved: "Be careful, it's okay." ”
"I know, but if she has this heart, she can't prevent it." Linlang said, shed tears, and said: "She always bullied me with Concubine An, and the more I tolerated it, the worse she became." ”
"Sister can't just put up with it, you take a step back, she goes further, and the days will be more difficult in the future, you have to resist in time."
Linlang wiped away her tears and said, "My sister has always been stupid, and when something happens, she has no idea." ”
Jing Yu thought of what she had done with Concubine Hui a few days ago, so she said, "If you want to lure the snake out of the hole, you have to be quiet first." Then he whispered something to her, and after speaking, he admonished: "My sister remembers that she must leave a line in everything, just let her have a long memory, and don't do things absolutely." ”
Linlang listened to Xie Congxin and said: "Sister, don't worry, I just ask Hazel to regenerate the heart that harmed me, and to be able to stop knowing the difficulty, and I will definitely leave her a way back!" ”
On this day, Linlang and Hazel were ordered to go to the main hall to taste tea together, and after drinking only one light, they saw Linlang holding her stomach and crying out for abdominal pain.
Seeing that she was pale and weak, Concubine An and Hazel glanced at each other.
Hazel asked: "If you want to talk about wolfberry tea, you can drink it even if you are pregnant, is my sister uncomfortable?" ”
Linlang forced his spirit and said, "It's okay, it's just that the reaction has been a little strong in the past few days." As he spoke, he leaned weakly on the table, looked pained, and got up and said, "The slave is really uncomfortable today, so I will retire first." Then he shuffled away from the main temple.
Bai Ling stepped forward to collect the stool, and suddenly saw a smear of blood on it, and Hazel and An Concubine looked at each other - so fast?
A few days later, Linlang sent someone to quietly invite Imperial Doctor Xu to come once and bring a packet of medicine, all of which were under the surveillance of An Concubine.
At night, Camellia quietly took the burden to a secluded place in the backyard, and was about to bury it in the night, when a fire suddenly brightened behind him, and I saw An Concubine with a group of guards and eunuchs holding torches, and rushed to the scene with murderous spirit.
An Concubine said loudly: "Bold minion, what are you doing sneaking around in the backyard in the middle of the night?" Come on, take out the things she buried in the palace, and see what is unsightly! ”
Li Shou snatched the thing over, shook it on the ground, and saw that it was a blood-stained thing.
Hazel and Concubine An covered their noses and said, "Put away these dirty things." With that, he returned to the main hall in a hurry.
The next day, with the support of camellia, Linlang slowly walked into the main hall, and saw that the concubine and the concubine were here, sitting upright, with a cold face.
An Concubine shouted and said, "Kneel down!" ”
Linlang said: "The slave is pregnant, and according to the rules, she can avoid kneeling." ”
"Bastard! Still talking! Is it unclear if you are pregnant now? An Concubine said: "Come on, take all those things!" ”
Linlang glanced at the things on the ground and said steadily: "Hui Niangniang, these are camellias, she was worried that she would be thrown directly and taken away by wild dogs, so she buried them first and threw them the next day." ”
"Camellia?" Hazel was incredulous and blurted out: "Then the medicine prescribed to you by Imperial Doctor Xu is the medicine that replenishes qi after a slippery tire, how do you explain it?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, the slave maid asked Imperial Doctor Xu to give it to the family, the younger brother and sister just slipped the baby, presumably the emperor will not be guilty of this big crime of treating slaves and maids, right?" Linlang said again.
"Niangniang, don't be afraid of her hard mouth, I'll see in a few months." Hazel said.
Concubine An's face was ugly, after all, the concubines were called, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and she secretly regrets that she was too anxious before.
"Then I'll talk about it later, I hope you can afford your lie when the time comes." Concubine An said to Tong Jia's family: "Concubine Niangniang, the evidence is conclusive, Wei Guiren insists on quibbling, and you are tired." ”
"Be cautious in the future, don't chase after the wind." Tong Jiashi reprimanded, ready to drive back to the palace, but was retained by Wei, and said: "Please wait for a while, Concubine Hui and the emperor will come after a while." ”
At this moment, not only An Concubine, but Tong Jiashi also paused.
Her eyes were sharp like a dagger, she looked at Concubine An and Zhen'er, and said, "Sister is in such a hurry to call the slave and maid, and if she doesn't say it clearly, she can't just forget it." She sat down and said, "Besides, the slave maid still has something to ask her sister." ”
