Chapter 177: A purse
On the sixth day of the second month of the eighth year of Yong'an, Yi Jieyu, who lived in the Qichun Pavilion of Yide Palace, had unbearable abdominal pain since she got up in the morning, and the palace maid who was waiting in the Qichun Pavilion hurriedly returned to Queen Zhu, and invited Taiyi Liu, who was the most proficient in gynecology in the Tai Hospital.
At that time, Emperor Yong'an rushed to Qichun Pavilion after receiving the news, and did not speak, but sat in the inner hall of Qichun Pavilion and drank tea quietly. There was no joy or anger on Junlang's face, and it was impossible to see what was going on in his heart.
Empress Zhu sat beside Emperor Yong'an, wearing a lake-green brocade palace costume with a peony bun on her head. The hairpin was hairpinned with pearl emeralds, and a five-tasseled green jade step swayed back and forth on the side of his face, reflecting his well-maintained skin like fresh snow.
Queen Zhu held a scarlet embroidered hibiscus brocade in her hand, and kept wiping the corners of her eyes, which had no tears, with an anxious face. Almost every half a cup of tea, Empress Zhu would order Ziwan to ask Imperial Doctor Liu, who was in the dormitory for Yi Jieyu's diagnosis and treatment, if there was a result.
At this time, Imperial Physician Liu would hurriedly walk out of the dormitory and kneel down to reply to Empress Zhu. Wait until you finish talking and then go into the dormitory and continue to treat Yi Jieyu.
Concubine Ying sat on a carved round stool on the edge of the low kang, wearing a jewel blue palace dress, with a short bun on her head, in addition to a few beaded flowers made of gold and silver filaments, and two jade hairpins of mutton fat jade. Concubine Ying also held a tender pink handkerchief in her hand, but she held the handkerchief and covered her rouge-stained red lips. The only half of his small face was full of nervousness. But under the veil, the corners of her mouth provoked a sneer.
Empress Zhu's exaggerated behavior became a laughing stock in her eyes.
Concubine Ren sat beside Concubine Ying, wearing a water-green palace dress, with a cloud bun on her head, and several beads on her head.
Concubine Ren's wrinkled head was also wrinkled tightly, she bit her lips with her teeth, and looked at the side of the dormitory from time to time, and her fair and delicate hands had twisted the brocade handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers in her hand into a twist.
Xian Guifei stood behind Concubine Ying, wearing a light purple palace dress with her head in a side bun. In addition to a few small beaded flowers on the bun, the hairpin is dripping and shaking. Its outfit is the least outstanding among several people, revealing the word rules inside and out.
At this time, Xian Guifei's face was slightly pale, and her beautiful eyes staring at the door of the dormitory were full of horror. She was the lowest among the concubines in the Qichun Pavilion today, and she was the only one who was not given a seat.
The incense bell burning in the inner sanctum made a 'ding' sound, and it was three quarters of an hour.
Empress Zhu, who was already sitting unsteadily, stood up from the low kang like a conditioned reflex, and said to Zi Wan, who was standing aside, "Go and ask Imperial Doctor Liu, how is it?" ”
Emperor Yong'an's eyebrows raised slightly, and then fell. I picked up the white jade teacup at hand and wanted to take a bite, but found that it was empty.
Seeing this, Gonggong Feng hurriedly stepped forward, took the empty tea cup into his hand, and handed it to the little palace maid who was waiting for the tea in the palace.
Concubine Ying took down the handkerchief covering her hand, her white forehead wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and she said to Queen Zhu, "Queen Mother, it's been almost an hour......
Empress Zhu looked back and sighed, and the steps on her head swayed back and forth, "That is to say, there is no blood in the lower body, only that the abdomen is unbearable......"
"It's not that I fell for some witchcraft," Concubine Ren muttered, and when she looked up and saw that Emperor Yong'an and several people were looking at her, her body couldn't help but tremble. She hurriedly stood up and walked in front of Emperor Yong'an and said, "Please also ask the emperor to forgive her sins, the concubine is unintentional, and she does not mean to curse Yi Jieyu." ”
Emperor Yong'an raised his head slightly, Concubine Ren stood up, walked back to her seat and sat down.
Concubine Ying turned around and whispered to Concubine Ren, "Does my sister think it's like witchcraft?" ”
Concubine Ren shook her head, timidly glanced at Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu, and stopped talking.
The palace maid serving tea in the Qichun Pavilion came in and put the tea that had been brewed on the table next to Emperor Yong'an. The teacup collided with the tabletop, making the only sound in the inner sanctum.
At four o'clock, Yi Jieyu's abdominal pain finally stopped under the skillful hands of Imperial Doctor Liu.
Imperial Physician Liu came out of the dormitory, wiped the sweat on his head, knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Yong'an, "Emperor Qi, Yi Jieyu's abdominal pain has stopped, and now she is asleep." ”
Emperor Yong'an put down the teacup in his hand, put his hands on his knees, and swept his eyes to Imperial Doctor Liu, "Tell me what is going on this time?" ”
"Back to the emperor," Imperial Physician Liu lowered his head and stared at the foot pedal next to the low kang, "Yi Jieyu's abdominal pain comes from her nervousness. Just now, Weichen asked Yi Jieyu inside, and Yi Jieyu said that she accidentally ate a piece of cake mixed with crab powder during breakfast today, and Yi Jieyu was scared, so it would cause abdominal cramps. In fact, it's not a big deal, the dragon heir in Yi Jieyu's belly has been eight months, and a small amount of crab roe can't hurt it. ”
After listening, Emperor Yong'an let out a long sigh, played with a piece of jade pendant in his hand, and did not speak.
Empress Zhu showed a hint of relief on her face after listening to Imperial Physician Liu's words, and after she let out a sigh of relief, she lowered her head and said to Imperial Physician Liu, "Yi Jieyu's body has always been taken care of by you, and now that her month is deep, you have to worry more about it." What can be eaten and what cannot be eaten, I told her in detail, this kind of thing must not happen a second time. ”
Imperial Physician Liu hurriedly kowtowed and said to the gentle and modest Empress Zhu, "Please rest assured that the old minister will do his best." ”
Concubine Ying covered her chest and smiled, "It's okay, it's just a false alarm, as long as Yi Jieyu's mother and son are safe, it will be a great thing." ”
Xian Guifei stood behind Concubine Ying, feeling the rest of her life after the catastrophe. She smiled on her face, and took Concubine Ying's words, "Yi Jieyu is a blessed person, and she will be safe." ”
Concubine Ren stood up, walked in front of Emperor Yong'an, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, since Yi Jieyu is fine, the concubine will retire first, so as not to disturb Yi Jieyu's rest in peace." ”
After listening to Concubine Ren's words, Emperor Yong'an stood up and said loudly, "Concubine Ren is right, since Yi Jieyu is fine, then you all go back, I will go in and see her......"
Empress Zhu said yes, and left with Concubine Ying and Concubine Ren.
After Empress Zhu and the others left, Emperor Yong'an gave Gonggong Feng a look. Gonggong Feng immediately sent out all the little palace maids in the palace, leaving only Imperial Doctor Liu in the inner hall.
"Imperial Doctor Liu, now that I'm the only one left, don't you still want to tell the truth?" Emperor Yong'an sat down on the low kang again, looked at Imperial Doctor Liu, who had stood up, and shouted coldly.
Emperor Yong'an couldn't live up to what Imperial Doctor Liu said before, if Yi Jieyu just accidentally ingested a little crab roe, would it take so long to be diagnosed? What's more, Yi Jieyu's fetus has always been taken care of by Imperial Physician Liu, how could Imperial Physician Liu not inform Yi Jieyu of all the taboos at the beginning of her pregnancy?
Imperial Physician Liu was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a pop. Kowtowing like pounding garlic, "Please also ask the emperor to forgive her sins, and please ask the emperor to forgive her sins, Yi Jieyu has fetal gas because the things around her contain musk." ”
Yi Jieyu's personal maid Wangchun walked out of the dormitory, knelt on the ground with a pop, lifted a light green purse with exquisite embroidery in her hand, and held it in front of Emperor Yong'an and said, "Your Majesty, this is what the slave maid found in Yi Jieyu's clothes." ”
Doctor Liu shuddered, "The spices in this purse are mainly musk. Mixed with other spices, it's hard to smell the musk. If it weren't for Lao Chen's more than 30 years of practicing medicine, I am afraid that he would not be able to smell such a weak musk fragrance......"
Emperor Yong'an took the light green purse in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked Wangchun, "Do you remember where your master got this purse?" ”
Wangchun's voice trembled and said, "If you go back to the emperor, this purse was given by Duo Meiren, who used to live in the Qingqiu Pavilion of Yongle Palace a year ago. Because Yi Jieyu and Duo Meiren have always been friends, Yi Jieyu always wore it on her body when she first got this purse. Later, for some reason, the purse was gone. This time, Imperial Doctor Liu said that Jieyu had musk on her side, so the slave maid took the little palace maid to check all the things Jieyu used. Later, it was found that this purse was mixed in the clothes that Jieyu was wearing......"
"Although this is a musk mixed with spices, the effect is not weak." Imperial Physician Liu continued, "Yi Jieyu wears clothes dyed with musk every day, just like musk burning every day. If you accumulate like this over time, you will get the tire gas. ”
Emperor Yong'an nodded, indicating that he understood. After handing over the purse to Gonggong Feng, let Imperial Doctor Liu and Wangchun go down.
After Imperial Physician Liu and Gonggong Feng retreated, Emperor Yong'an walked to the dormitory of Qichun Pavilion.
Lying on the bed, Yi Jieyu, whose face was pale and her eyes were slightly red and swollen, just wanted to get up and say hello, and was pushed back to the bed by Emperor Yong'an.
Yi Jieyu looked at Emperor Yong'an and said softly, "I also asked the emperor to forgive Imperial Doctor Liu, it was the concubine who ordered him to say that, and the concubine didn't want to make a noise." ”
Emperor Yong'an held Yi Jieyu's hand and asked softly, "This matter is that you have been wronged, why are you still hiding it for the people who hurt you?" ”
Yi Jieyu sobbed quietly, looked at Emperor Yong'an with teary eyes, and cried in a low voice, "If you wronged the concubine alone, if you can make the emperor not embarrassed by this matter, the concubine will be content." The emperor came to see the concubines, and he thought that the person would be more restrained. Two months later, the emperor in the womb of the concubine was born, and the concubine was at ease. ”
Emperor Yong'an stretched out his hand to touch Yi Jieyu's sweat-soaked green silk, and said loudly, "I only learned today that there is an empathetic concubine like you in this harem. You can rest assured, I will protect your mother and son well and prevent you from suffering a little more grievance. ”
Yi Jieyu reached out and held Emperor Yong'an's big hand with a bloodless hand, and nodded expectantly, "Concubine, wait for that day." ”
