Chapter 135: Killing People and Killing Mouths
Bao Xi's heart was touching, a pain spread from her chest to her lower abdomen, and now that a few days had passed since the miscarriage, she always felt that the wounds on her body had not completely healed, and Mrs. Zheng held Bao Xi's hand, trying to draw the courage and strength to give birth from her.
Mrs. Zheng's sentence of "you lied to me" made Bao Xi's heart inexplicably empty, but she could only open her mouth and say with relief, "The king will come to see you, as long as you give birth to the child with peace of mind, everything will be fine." ”
Mrs. Zheng shook her head, her eyes filled with tears, and told Bao Xi in a very weak tone, "You must help me take care of him!" ”
Bao Xi didn't know who this "he" was referring to, but she didn't want to distract Mrs. Zheng to explain, so she nodded and patted her sweat-soaked hands with her hand, "Don't talk anymore, you have to work hard!" ”
The midwife kept telling Mrs. Zheng to work hard, she tried her best, let out a hideous scream, in the late autumn and early winter, her face was covered with strips of sweat, flowing down from her forehead, soaking her hair, her hand was held very tightly, all the past grievances can only disappear at this moment, the grievances between Mrs. Zheng and Bao Xi no longer need to be considered, she raised her eyes to look at Bao Xi, "Xiuxiu is a person who can be used, she can always help you!" ”
Bao Xi frowned, and her heart twitched, "What do you mean?" ”
Mrs. Zheng shook her head, "You tell him that I love him." ”
"You have to keep these words for you to say," Bao Xi shook her head, she already felt the reason why Mrs. Zheng said these words, she felt that her life was short, and she gave Bao Xi an explanation before she died, "Now that the king is besieged by the princes, and Zheng Guo is being criticized, you can't have any more accidents?" Otherwise what would he do? ”
Mrs. Zheng shook her head, "You tell him that I don't hate him. With a smile on her face, she started a new round of exertion, the process of the child's birth was extremely unsmooth, as if it was a pregnancy, the sweat soaked the entire mattress, Mrs. Zheng's hysterical screams and the tightness of the muscles of her whole body made Bao Xi feel that there was indeed no pain comparable to the mother's childbirth.
Mrs. Zheng turned her face to look at Bao Xi, and said softly, "The king protects me because of Concubine Rong, I thought that I could rely on this identity to live at least a few more years in this palace, but this child took my life!" Her tears flowed down, her eyes blurred, how she wished that the person who was with her at this moment was Ji Gongyan, but this high-ranking king was too ruthless, "He had already planned all this today." ”
"What are you talking about?" Bao Xi asked nervously.
"You all think that I am as stupid as a pig, relying on the pampering of my father and the king to live until now, but in fact, it is not," Mrs. Zheng said with all her might, "Their spoiling of me comes from the similarity between me and Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong died tragically, the people in the palace and the Zheng family feel that they owe her, so they will repay this debt to me, this is a kind of luck and a misfortune, if there is no identity of Concubine Rong, I am afraid that I will not get the favor of the king, he wants a woman who can stand side by side with him, without selfishness, Intelligent, tough as a rock, tough as a reed, I thought he would never find it in his life," she said and laughed, clenching Bao Xi's hand tightly, "I hate you so much, do you know?" ”
Bao Xi nodded, and seemed to be able to empathize with Mrs. Zheng's words.
"But the child and the king are handed over to you, and it makes people feel at ease." Mrs. Zheng said softly and smiled softly.
"Don't talk stupid, no one wants you to die," Bao Xi leaned closer to Mrs. Zheng and touched her soaked hair, "If you work harder, the child will come out." ”
Madame Zheng nodded, and exerted all her strength one last time.
A cry resounded throughout the Xiande Palace, and everyone standing outside the hall breathed a long sigh of relief, Xiuxiu grabbed Twenty-seven's hand, jumping and laughing. Twenty-seven also breathed out as if he had just breathed out the breath that was holding in his chest just now, and muttered, "Great, great!" ”
"I'm going to check it out!" Xiuxiu's eyes were very bright, and she looked at Twenty-Seven and said.
"Go, go, come back and tell me what this kid looks like?" Twenty-seven was also infected by this emotion, and became happy, the happiest thing in the world was probably nothing more than this, but in the next second, Bao Xi's voice cut off the excitement of all of them, and she shouted, "Lang Zhong! Doctor. ”
Uncle Zhao turned sharply to Lang Zhong, who was standing outside, Lang Zhong nodded slightly unhurriedly, and then walked towards the palace, looking at his back, everyone present always had some ominous premonitions, but no one dared to confirm it. Lang Zhong sat on the edge of Mrs. Zheng's bed and took her pulse, Bao Xi paced around, she wanted to ask Lang Zhong what was going on? But he was afraid of interrupting Lang Zhong's train of thought, so he could only hold back.
"Niangniang don't worry," Lang Zhong stood up and straightened his robe.
"How's Mrs. Zheng doing?" Bao Xi asked nervously, her palms were sweaty.
"After Niangniang gave birth, her qi and blood were too weak, as long as she prescribed some medicine to take supplements," Lang Zhong said and handed over the prescription in his hand to Bao Xi, who called Xiuxiu to come in and go to the Tai Hospital to grab the medicine, and did not forget to instruct, "Don't let anyone get close to this medicine." ”
"Yes!" Xiuxiu nodded, stood on tiptoe and looked at Mrs. Zheng who was lying on the bed and collapsed and weak, her breathing became slower and slower, and her face became more and more ugly, Xiuxiu did not dare to delay for a moment, rushed out of the Xiande Hall and grabbed the medicine back and boiled it into a decoction for Mrs. Zheng to bring in.
Madame Zheng was dying, and drank the medicine into her mouth with the last of her senses, but not only did she not get better, but things got worse, and the blood left down Madame Zheng's thighs, overflowing the entire mattress, and even began to fall to the ground dripping, and her eyes were full of scarlet.
"Madame!" Xiuxiu looked at Mrs. Zheng and screamed, looking at the blood on the ground, her heart twitched, and she couldn't stop shaking her head, "Madam, what's wrong with you!" Madame, wake up! You haven't seen your child yet, the king is coming soon! ”
Bao Xi heard Xiuxiu's exclamation and also looked in the direction of Mrs. Zheng, and after a sharp glance, she shot at Lang Zhong, who took two steps back and knelt down on the ground tremblingly, "Niang Niang's life, I just grabbed some medicine to replenish qi and blood, I don't know how it became like this?" ”
"Fangzi." Bao Xi stretched out her hand.
Xiuxiu hurriedly put the crumpled house in Bao Xi's hand, Bao Xi unfolded it and looked at it, and called Twenty-seven in, "Go, find this Shennong Materia Medica, and check the medicinal effects of all the ingredients on this recipe one by one!" ”
"Yes, sis!" Twenty-seven turned around and went out after answering the voice, which made this Lang Zhong panic, and looked at Bao Xi kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, "Niang Niang spare your life, Niang Niang spare your life, I don't know anything, this ......"
"Shut up!" Bao Xi scolded, "You all go down!" She looked at the other people present, the midwife, Xiuxiu, the wet nurse, and some miscellaneous people, and after a while, only Mrs. Zheng, who was no longer breathing, was left in the dormitory, as well as Bao Xi and this Langzhong, "Say, what's going on?" Bao Xi turned around and walked around the dormitory, and somewhere found a dagger and held it in his hand.
"This recipe was given by the king, I don't know anything!" Lang Zhong raised his hands and looked at Bao Xi begging for mercy, "I don't know anything, I don't know how this happened, I'm not Lang Zhong at all, and I don't know any medical skills!" ”
"The King?" Bao Xi turned to look at Lang Zhong, and slowly approached him, remembering what Mrs. Zheng said to herself just now, her heart was full of pain, the women in the harem did not know their fate, this is not a kind of intelligence, this is just an instinct. Empress Shen knew that her identity was the queen who was a good mediator, Madame Wei knew that she was a cold palace woman who would never be favored by a king, Madame Qin knew that her identity was to help the king militarily, and Madame Zheng knew that she was just an object to repay people's debts...... Sometimes, everyone wants to transcend their identity, but most of the time, they prefer to stay in their place.
This kind of sadness has nothing to do with the times, has nothing to do with status, has nothing to do with character, and it happens to everyone all the time.
Bao Xi walked in front of Lang Zhong, patted him on the shoulder, and straightened his clothes for him, "You mean that the king wants Mrs. Zheng to die?" With a murderous expression on her face, her eyes stared straight at Lang Zhong.
"I don't know anything...... Lang Zhong said nervously.
"Who did you say gave this recipe?" Bao Xi asked again.
"It's the king! It's the king! After Lang Zhong repeated it twice, he looked at Bao Xi incredulously, followed her hand to his chest, almost didn't believe that Bao Xi would kill people, the blood flowed out of the dagger and slowly dripped to the ground, Lang Zhong barely had time to shout, he already felt that he had lost the strength of his whole body, and slowly fell to the ground.
Bao Xi looked at her bloodstained hands, a feeling of nausea surging upward, almost vomiting here, she lost her strength all over her body, and wanted to faint immediately, but she still had to hold on to her body and calm her look, she walked out of the dormitory, walked towards the court, and patted Xiuxiu, "Clean up for Mrs. Zheng, let her walk on the road." Her eyes were full of sorrow.
Xiuxiu shook her head vigorously, unable to believe the facts in front of her.
"Lang Zhong didn't know who he was bribed by and tried to murder Mrs. Zheng, and now he has committed suicide, please uncle investigate this matter thoroughly!" Bao Xi walked towards Uncle Zhao and took it away, Uncle Zhao felt a pang in his heart, he didn't expect that the king would actually kill Mrs. Zheng in order to protect Zheng Guo!
This is Ji Gongyan's last move, and now everything is falling out of the water, this method is terrifying and terrifying, so that people who can understand it will inevitably feel cold.
