Chapter 30: The Emblem Echoes
Everything that happened in the Mingguang Palace was finally because of Yuan Yi's deliberate suppression, which everyone pretended to forget, although everyone no longer mentioned the beloved son that Lu Meiluo had lost, but she knew that she was indeed underestimating the hostility of this palace to herself, and from this moment on, she had to be more cautious to avoid harm.
Because of this incident, Yuan Yi exempted her from asking Murong Hua for half a month, and she was at ease in this half a month, after being drunk that night, Yuan Yi often took her out of the palace at night, and gave her the long-lost quiet in the palace in the courtyard outside the palace. In those days, Yuan Yi was also at ease, and every night the two would talk about their hearts, interesting things in the past, opinions on some things that have happened outside recently, and even joke with each other. He thought that this was the life of ordinary couples in the world, knowing each other.
The half-moon period passed quickly, and today was the day when Lu Melo resumed her greetings, and she didn't want everyone in the harem to think that she was unscrupulous because of her favor, so she freshened up and prepared early. In the past half a month, she has been drinking traditional Chinese medicine specially prepared by Imperial Doctor Cui, but in fact, there is no major problem. But in order to make everyone in the harem have a good mood today, she deliberately made Jingwen a little pale, which was the best gift she gave them.
"Niangniang, you shouldn't dress up brightly today, let those people see that Niangniang can't be hit, and they will be afraid of Niangniang." Jingwen is actually puzzled, she really can't understand her mother's behavior.
"Jingwen, anyone can show strength in this harem, but when the wolves are surrounding you, a proper show of weakness can make them relax, especially at such a time, all of them are waiting, since they are waiting, give it to them."
"Niangniang, I don't understand what you said, but when I was in the house, my wife always said that I should show strength appropriately, so that others would not dare to hurt themselves at will."
"I have to show them, but I always have to give them some sweetness first. Jingwen, don't worry too much, I'm measured. β
"It's good that Niangniang knows it in her heart, and the slave is afraid that Niangniang will be hurt again."
"Jingwen, people always don't touch the south wall and don't look back, I thought that if I was careful, no one would plan, but this is not the case in the palace. Everyone here is wrong but it's all right, I don't complain about anyone, it's because I'm too naΓ―ve. Lu Meiluo turned his head to look at Jingwen, "Jingwen, why are you stunned, comb your hair." β
Hearing this question, Jingwen began to comb her hair quickly, she was thinking just now, her mother said that she would not hit the south wall and not look back, it seems that the last incident did hit her hard, and she has to pay more attention to her mother recently. But Lu Melo simply meant this, and Jingwen still couldn't understand it all.
When he went to the Shiqian Palace, Lu Meiluo found that he was the first to arrive, and the others had not yet arrived. When Nan Qing saw Concubine Shu arriving, she immediately greeted her and informed Murong Hua.
"Lady Niangniang, please come here." Nan Qing hurriedly led Lu Melo to the seat that had been arranged the day before. Lu Melo looked at the seat, which was covered with soft mink fur cushions, and it was obvious that it could be arranged for her. This heart is really big, it really deserves to be the queen, Lu Meiluo thought silently in her heart.
As soon as Lu Meiluo sat down, the palace maid in the palace had already brought tea in time, Lu Meiluo picked it up and smelled it, it was rose honey tea: "Nanqing, thank the queen mother for me, it's hard for the queen mother to specially prepare the tea I like." β
Nan Qing was just about to answer, but Murong Hua had already walked out of the apse: "Sister Shufei, this is too polite, this half moon is really worried about my sister's body, if I wasn't afraid of disturbing my sister's cultivation, I would have visited it a long time ago." β
Lu Meiluo didn't expect Murong Hua to come out so quickly, he didn't even have half a moment of effort, it must have been Nan Qing who informed her early, and immediately got up to say goodbye, and even deliberately showed the delicate feeling that his body had not recovered when he asked for peace, which made people feel very distressed to watch: "The concubine asked the queen mother to say goodbye." β
"Sister hurry up and get up, don't hurt your vitality, don't pay too much attention to these false courtesies." Murong Hua was very concerned, and even personally helped Lu Meiluo, who asked for peace.
"The queen is tormenting the concubines like this, the mother is the lord of the six palaces, and the concubines do not have this blessing." Lu Meiluo didn't really believe Murong Hua's words, from the first time she saw her, she knew that Murong Hua was definitely the person who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger in this harem, and she should not be taken lightly. When she first entered the palace, she was reluctant to take the initiative to provoke the people in the harem, and she was also a person who liked simplicity, so she was unwilling to pay too much attention to many things, but now it is different.
"It's not a question of whether my sister has it, as long as Your Majesty is willing, blessings can be had. Sister, don't worry too much, you are the person on the tip of Your Majesty's heart, and there are always blessings. β
"The queen is serious." Lu Melo is reluctant to explain too much, and if he doesn't explain, he won't grasp the mistakes. She also didn't want to get entangled with Murong Hua and wanted to end the topic as soon as possible, so she chose not to respond.
Just when Murong Hua wanted to say a pleasant greeting, a palace maid hurriedly came in from outside the hall and whispered a few words in Nan Qing's ear, and saw Nan Qing with a solemn expression and said to Murong Hua: "Queen Mother, Shen Xiurong fainted on the way to the palace. β
"How could this happen?" Murong Hua was also surprised, "Sister Shufei, I'm going to go to Huiyin Hall to take a look at Shen Xiurong, does my sister want to go with me?" β
The latter sentence was said to Lu Meiluo, and Lu Meiluo didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen on the first day he invited An, it was a coincidence, Murong Hua went, and he ran into it, so naturally he couldn't shirk it.
"The queen mother is concerned about the harem sisters, and my sister is willing to go with her." Lu Melo said very naturally, "Niangniang first, please." β
Immediately, the two of them walked towards the Shiqian Hall one after the other, and when Murong Hua left, he didn't forget to let Nan Qing do one thing: send someone to inform the others to cancel the invitation today, and tell the situation truthfully.
The two went very quickly, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the Huiyin Palace, they saw Shen Yulan's palace maid waiting, and when they saw Murong Hua and Lu Meiluo, they hurriedly greeted them: "Queen Mother, Concubine Niangniang, please come here." β
"Have you asked for a doctor?" This was the first sentence Murong Hua asked.
"Back to the queen's mother, I've already gone to ask for a doctor."
"Why did Shen Xiurong suddenly faint, you tell me in detail about the situation this morning."
"Yes, when I got up this morning, Niangniang didn't feel any discomfort, but said that she didn't sleep very peacefully last night, so the slave maid ordered the palace people to make a bowl of lotus seed and lily soup to calm Niangniang's nerves. When she arrived on the road, Niangniang suddenly felt dizzy and panicked, so she stopped, and fainted after a while. "This palace maid usually does things neatly and clearly.
"Is the food sealed in the morning?" Murong Hua thought of food poisoning first time, so he was eager to pay attention to this problem.
"Hui Niangniang, not yet. The slave and maid will do it right now. β
"Nanqing, you follow this matter together." Murong Hua was not at ease after all, she wanted to prevent everything from going wrong, so she sent Nan Qing.
"Yes." Nan Qing knew Murong Hua's intentions very well, after all, she had followed her since she entered the palace, and many things didn't need Murong Hua to point out, so she could guess quickly.
"Sister Shufei, let's go into the house and take a look at Shen Xiurong." For the time being, after arranging the things that could be arranged, Murong Hua beckoned Lu Meiluo in.
Before the two of them entered the door, the imperial doctor hurriedly came, Murong Hua signaled that he didn't need to salute, and went in directly to see the doctor, and the imperial doctor hurriedly entered. The two of them went in with the Imperial Doctor. Shen Yulan on the couch, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, it should be the palace people who pinched Shen Yulan in an emergency, she had already woken up, but her left hand was on her chest, her brows were frowned, and she looked very uncomfortable.
The imperial physician quickly stepped forward to check the pulse, and after a while, the imperial physician withdrew from the inner room and asked Shen Yulan's personal palace maid.
"Niangniang has been sleeping well lately?"
"It's not good in recent days, and I always can't fall asleep until late at night."
"What about appetite?"
"I don't have a lot of appetite."
"Can you drink a lot of strong tea or alcohol?"
"Niangniang just drank a little bit of wine a few days ago. Niangniang has never had the habit of drinking strong tea. β
After asking these questions, the imperial doctor probably came to a conclusion and went to the outer room to return to Murong Hua.
"What is Shen Xiurong's illness?" Murong Hua asked first.
"Back to the queen's mother, the contouring lady does not have any big symptoms, probably in the past half a month, I have been worried too much, I have not slept well, and because of the drinking in the previous two days, I suddenly had heart palpitations this morning and fainted."
"Heart palpitations?"
"Yes, Niangniang's qi and blood are deficient, and her heart is yang and yin are insufficient, so her heart palpitates and affects her pulse."
"Will you do it again in the future?"
"This time, His Majesty has prescribed a boiled licorice soup for Niangniang to take, and it will be relieved in one day. And if you take proper care in the future, you should be fine. "Doctor Tai is telling the truth, most of this kind of heart disease still needs to be recuperated by yourself, if you can't keep your mood happy, there is no cure.
"Okay, I got it. Go down. Murong Hua already had a rough idea of Shen Yulan's situation, and by the way, he beckoned the palace maid of Huiyin Palace to follow the imperial doctor to get the medicine.
After asking about Shen Yulan's situation, Murong Hua turned his head to Lu Meiluo and said, "Sister Shufei, you see, Shen Xiurong also suddenly had this heart palpitation and fainting, you are not healthy yet, go back to the palace to rest first." β
"The queen's mother is serious, Shen Xiurong has woken up, and the concubine will go to visit. Please give it your go. "How can Lu Melo leave now, since he came to visit, he can be comforted and then leave.
"Go ahead. It's also good to relieve the depression in your heart. β
Entering the inner room, Lu Meiluo also asked a few simple questions, Shen Yulan's palpitations have not been alleviated, in fact, she doesn't want to talk more, and she doesn't want to say some private things in her heart. To understand advance and retreat is to take the initiative to back down when others are in trouble, and Lu Melo understands this truth. Seeing such a situation, Lu Meiluo asked Murong Hua for his resignation. When I went out, I saw Xu Xiangshan, who lived in Huiyin Palace, standing a little uneasy outside the door, obviously with a look of concern on his face, but he didn't go inside.
Seeing Lu Meiluo come out, he stepped forward and asked, "Concubine Shuniang, how is Shen Xiurong?" β
"I've woken up, Xu Ronghua can go in and have a look." Lu Meiluo didn't understand why Xu Ronghua stood outside the door and didn't go in, could it be that there was something hidden that she didn't know? Lu Meiluo was reluctant to get involved in their affairs, after all, Shen Yulan and Xu Xiangshan were close to Zhang Keer on weekdays, but they didn't know what the situation was this time.
"Concubine Xie." Xu Xiangshan didn't seem to want to reveal too much, and it just so happened that Lu Meiluo didn't want to know what was going on between them. Then Xu Xiangshan seemed to hesitate, but still entered the hall.
Lu Meiluo walked out of the Huiyin Hall quickly, and Jingwen behind her whispered: "Niangniang, it's really time for Shen Xiurong to be sick today, and Niangniang just started to ask for ......."
"Jingwen, you even know these conspiracy theories now?" Lu Melo laughed lightly, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said.
"It's not that the slave and maid will understand these conspiracies, it's that this point in time is too coincidental, so that a person as stupid as the slave and maid feels unreasonable."
"Since you don't think it's reasonable, the person who deliberately arranged this matter is either not afraid of us to investigate it at all, or wants to lead us in the wrong direction. Either assumption is bad for us. "After what happened last time, Lu Meiluo is really more careful about every small move of the people in the palace, because it may be a fatal blow to her," You go back and talk to Leng Xi about this matter and let her find out the news. If it's just a coincidence, or if it's not directed at us, we can ignore it. β
"Yes, Jingwen knows." Jingwen really felt that her mother had changed, when she first entered the palace, she was full of thoughts about her majesty every day, and now she has begun to ponder the thoughts of the people in the palace.
Xu Xiangshan, who entered the hall, saw Murong Hua standing in the inner room, she took a deep breath, as if she was going to do something big. She asked Murong Hua for peace, but after Murong Hua raised his hand to signal him to get up, he didn't get up for a long time, and even lowered his head deeply: "Queen Mother, the concubine came to ask for sin, Shen Xiurong fainted today because of the concubine's fault." β
"What's your fault?" Murong Hua heard Xu Xiangshan's words for no reason, and asked puzzled.
"Shen Xiurong has been restless in recent days, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, just because the concubine said......." Xu Xiangshan had not finished speaking, and Shen Yulan on the couch suddenly shouted: "Don't say it, it will stain the mother's ears!" After saying that, he put his hands on his chest and began to feel uncomfortable.
Murong Hua didn't expect that Shen Yulan, who had been weak just now, would suddenly speak, and even she would be so excited to stop it, what was it that was so serious? Murong Hua wanted to avoid aggravating Shen Yulan's condition, so he said to Xu Xiangshan: "Xu Ronghua, put this aside for the time being, and wait until Shen Xiurong's body recovers." β
Xu Xiangshan saw that Shen Yulan was so emotional, so she had to suppress her words and bow her head silently. Murong Hua simply greeted a few words, instructed the people in the hall to take care of him, and then took Xu Xiangshan out of the Huiyin Palace.
Devil's Theatre
Shen Yulan: I was originally a grain of stardust in the sky, why is the sky always so ruthless?
Xu Xiangshan: What are you in the sky?
Shen Yulan: Stardust!!
Xu Xiangshan: Is it the star, or is it the dust? Can you make it clear? Stars and dust are not the same substance at all, according to the chemical formula......
Shen Yulan: I just want to post a circle of friends, can you not grind?
Xu Xiangshan: You don't understand, it's really a lot worse, let me tell you......
(Shen Yulan made a wish to the bright moon in the sky: May the sky accept this sand sculpture that is bad for the scenery and return her to clean)
