Chapter Eighty-Three: The Scapegoat
Lingxi doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, even though she has traveled from the modern era.
She believed in retribution.
She firmly believes that what you sow, you will reap. So in this life, she is cautious and cautious in her work, and she is afraid of making a wrong step and regretting her mistakes.
But there are some things that she can't choose.
For example, she can't choose whether she can enter the palace by herself, and she can't choose whether she can leave the palace by herself.
The death of the previous life is not due to her, and the life of this life is not due to her.
Therefore, the life and death of Concubine Ren cannot be determined by Concubine Ren.
Lingxi took the finger pricked by the embroidery needle into his mouth and sucked it gently......
Slightly sweet, slightly salty......
It turns out that this is what blood tastes like......
Seeing that Lingxi didn't speak, Xiao Dezi continued, "It is said that I was a little unwell before lunch today, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw red......"
"Can the Imperial Doctor go?" Lingxi took out his fingers and said lightly.
"Go." Xiao Dezi said, "In addition to the two imperial doctors who take care of Concubine Ren's body on weekdays, they also called Imperial Doctor Liu. ”
Lingxi's beautiful eyes wandered, and she nodded slightly, "You go down." ”
Lotus Ye came in with a teacup, put it down and said, "Niangniang has heard about it?" ”
As soon as Lingxi wanted to speak, he felt a pain in his abdomen. She hurriedly covered her stomach with her left hand, grabbed the wrist of the lotus leaf with her right hand, and shouted in a miserable voice with disordered breath, "Quick, pass on the imperial doctor, the abdominal pain in this palace is unbearable!" ”
Lotus Ye hurriedly called Hanyan and helped Lingxi to the phoenix couch with her, and then rushed out of the dormitory and shouted anxiously, "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor, the concubine is not good!" ”
The stable woman who guarded the outer hall, the nurse, and the palace maid panicked when she made it, and those who entered the palace entered the hall, and those who invited the imperial doctor invited the imperial doctor, and the emperor was notified to the emperor.
In less than an hour, the concubines in the entire harem knew that after the concubine Ren of the Jiyue Palace saw the red, the concubines in the Lingyan Hall also had an accident.
Emperor Yong'an was furious in his heart, and sent Empress Zhu to Concubine Ren's Jiyue Palace, and he hurried to the Lingyan Hall where Lingxi lived, and passed on the order of Imperial Physician Liu.
When Emperor Yong'an arrived at the Lingyan Palace, there was a panic in the Lingyan Palace. The palace maid went in and out silently, which made Emperor Yong'an feel upset. He tried to break into the inner hall several times, but was stopped by Gonggong Feng, and in the end he could only stay in the outer hall in a hurry.
When Imperial Physician Liu came, he saw Emperor Yong'an's anxious face, and he hurriedly rushed into the inner hall after saluting Emperor Yong'an.
Lingxi was lying on the phoenix couch, holding his stomach and moaning softly, surrounded by a group of palace maids.
Doctor Shi and Doctor He stood on the side of the screen, muttering something quietly.
Seeing that Imperial Physician Liu was coming, Lotus Ye hurriedly made way of a passage and invited Imperial Physician Liu to the bed with a crying voice.
Lingxi's consciousness was still quite clear, and when he saw Imperial Physician Liu coming, a far-fetched smile appeared on his slightly pale face, "Let Imperial Physician Liu be tired." Bengong," Lingxi frowned, "Lingxi just felt a pain in his abdomen, and he was a little cold. ”
"Chills?" Imperial Doctor Liu was startled, didn't care about greetings, and hurriedly knelt in front of the bed to check Lingxi's pulse.
"Imperial Physician Liu," Lingxi asked in a weak voice, "You must have come from Concubine Ren." ”
Imperial Physician Liu nodded, and put the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of his right hand on the white wrist of Lingxi's gauze.
As soon as the fingers were put together, Imperial Doctor Liu sighed in his heart, this concubine's pulse is peaceful, and there is nothing wrong with the fetal appearance.
"This palace heard that Concubine Ren is red, but is there a big problem?"
Imperial Physician Liu closed his eyes and carefully checked the pulse, and after a while, he said, "Concubine Ren has eaten impure things......
The pulse sinks, and the pulse is gone! Doctor Liu was shocked, and hurriedly raised his fingers, and then went to check the pulse again.
Lingxi held his stomach in his right hand and asked anxiously, "Is there a big problem with Concubine Ren?" Is there a big problem with the dragon heir in his belly? ”
Imperial Physician Liu asked Lingxi Shao'an not to be impatient, and after comforting him for a few words, he calmed down and continued to call the pulse.
After two deep breaths, he felt a faint pulse beating deep under his skin, but its beating was extremely weak. Slowly, slowly, the pulse floated up, beating strong......
After a while, the pulse was gone, and Imperial Doctor Liu's fingers couldn't be touched no matter how deep they buckled. After two deep breaths, the pulse surfaced from the depths again, and the normal beating resumed......
Imperial Physician Liu's hand rested on Lingxi's wrist, his face became more and more pale, and finally he was sweating. When he lifted his fingers from Lingxi's wrist, his whole body was already shaking.
Lotus Ye took the yarn off Lingxi's wrist, put down the wide sleeves, and said to Doctor Liu. "Imperial Doctor, what's wrong with Concubine Ying? Why does the abdominal pain be unbearable? ”
A far-fetched smile appeared on Imperial Physician Liu's face, and he didn't reply to the lotus leaf's words, but walked in front of Imperial Physician Shi and Imperial Physician He.
Seeing that Imperial Physician Liu's face was pale, Imperial Physician Shi said loudly, "Imperial Physician Liu, is the number out?" ”
"From time to ......time," said the white-bearded Imperial Physician He, "This vein is ......."
…………
After a while, Imperial Physician Liu, Imperial Physician Shi, and Imperial Physician He knelt in front of Emperor Yong'an and talked about Lingxi's illness one by one.
Doctor Shi: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ying Niangniang feels pain in her abdomen, because Concubine Ying Niangniang has been weak since she was a child and has the disease of palace cold. As long as you take care of yourself, there is no big problem. ”
Emperor Yong'an nodded, and a heart was put in his stomach. He was deeply afraid that Lingxi, like Concubine Ren, was given the medicine of abortion by others.
Doctor He also said, "Concubine Ying Niangniang has been the dragon heir in her womb for six months, and her mother and son are connected, so you must not let Ying Concubine Niangniang be stimulated by the outside world." ”
Emperor Yong'an raised his hand and pointed at Qiaozhu and said, "Write it down carefully, if there is anything in the Lingyan Hall in the future, go and inform the grandmother in charge, you must not say that you are annoyed by your mother." ”
Qiaozhu is blessed.
After a few trembles in Imperial Physician Liu's heart, he said to Emperor Yong'an, "Your Majesty, in addition to the symptoms mentioned by Imperial Physician Shi and Imperial Physician He, Concubine Ying's pulse is a little weird. ”
"Weird?" Emperor Yong'an raised his eyebrows, "What kind of weird method?" ”
After the three imperial doctors glanced at each other, Imperial Physician Liu said, "The pulse of the concubine is here and there. The pulse is born from the heart, and its pulse is none, which must be because of its lack of mental strength. The three of them felt that Concubine Ying seemed to have a congenital deficiency in the heart. ”
"Heart, congenital deficiency?" Emperor Yong'an was silent for a moment, then pointed at Doctor Shi and said, "Concubine Ying's body has always been taken care of by you, why haven't you heard of Concubine Ying having such a disease before?" ”
Doctor Shi kowtowed and replied tremblingly, "If you go back to the emperor, when Concubine Ying was not pregnant with a dragon heir, although her pulse was weak, it was not as intermittent as now. Weichen believes that the current illness of the Ying Concubine Niangniang is not much related to her congenital deficiency disease, and it should be related to the fright of the Ying Concubine Niangniang. ”
"Fright?" Emperor Yong'an summoned Qiaozhu and said, "What has your mother done and heard today?" ”
Qiaozhu thought for a while, and replied to Emperor Yong'an, "Because of the rain today, Niangniang sat in the inner hall after lunch and embroidered, and did not go out. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a little eunuch came in to report on Concubine Ren's mother. After a while, the Ying Concubine Niangniang was not good......"
After listening to Qiaozhu's words, Emperor Yong'an let out a long sigh, knowing that it was Concubine Ren's matter that scared her. After understanding the reason, Emperor Yong'an did not punish Imperial Physician Liu and others, but just asked them to take care of them. But if something goes wrong again, then I'll see you.
After discussing with Imperial Physician Shi and Imperial Physician He, he prescribed a medicine to Lingxi to stabilize the fetus, and asked Hanyu to take it down and fry it for Lingxi.
After Lingxi fell asleep, Imperial Physician Liu went to check his pulse again, and his pulse phase returned to peace, without the previous state that came and went.
He finally put his mind at ease and said to Emperor Yong'an, "Although Concubine Ying Niangniang has a congenital deficiency disease, this disease is extremely mild. As long as you don't get any more frightened, it's fine......"
--------
Lingxi woke up again, it was already the next morning, Lotus Leaf was dozing off by her bed, and at the screen, she was still guarding the same confused Hanyu.
Lingxi sat up and nudged the lotus leaf with his hand. Lotus Ye raised his head smartly, and saw that Lingxi was full of smiles, and a smile appeared on his face, "Niangniang woke up, can you sleep well?" ”
Lingxi nodded, "It's been a long time since I've slept so well." ”
Hanyu heard the movement and stood up straight. After greeting Lingxi, he walked out of the dormitory, and took Xia Han with him, Xia Lan came in with toiletries, and there was a stable woman behind him.
Lingxi finished washing under the service of everyone, and after breakfast, he sent lotus leaves and Hanyu to rest, and asked people to call Qiaozhu and Xiao Dezi in.
After Xiao Dezi came in, he sent all the palace maids and grandmothers in the palace out, and let Hanyan guard in the outer hall to prevent people from entering the inner hall.
Seeing that there was no one else, Qiaozhu patted his chest and said, "Niangniang, you are really scared to death of the slave." ”
Lingxi chuckled, "As long as you're timid, I'm not okay?" ”
"Master, it's not just Qiaozhu's timidity, but also the minions' timidity." Xiao Dezi walked up to Lingxi and wiped his sweat and said, "You can't joke with your body next time." ”
"You think my stomach ache yesterday was fake?" Lingxi asked.
Qiaozhu and Xiao Dezi glanced at each other, confused. They confirmed that the Lingxi had a pretense of abdominal pain yesterday, but the three imperial doctors all said that the Lingxi had congenital deficiencies, which made them wonder again.
Lingxi sighed, "I did have abdominal pain yesterday, but it didn't turn as bad as it appeared. ”
"That, that ......" Qiaozhu asked puzzled, "Then Imperial Doctor Liu said that Niangniang's pulse is ...... from time to time."
Lingxi chuckled, turned around and took off a thin arm ring from his left arm, put it on the table and said, "Put this tightly on your arm, when the imperial doctor diagnoses the pulse, the arm is gently forced, and the pulse is gone." ”
Qiaozhu and Xiao Dezi were dumbfounded when they heard this.
Xiao Dezi shook his head and said in disbelief, "It's that simple? The minions don't believe it, the mother must be teasing the minions. ”
Lingxi smiled and touched a jade Ruyi from the low kang, handed it to Xiao Dezi and said, "You put this thing under your armpit, and try your own pulse, when you clamp your arm hard, the pulse is gone, and when the force is loosened, the pulse comes out again." It's the same thing as this armband I was carrying. ”
Xiao Dezi took Yu Ruyi and put it under his left armpit, and then put his right hand on the vein gate of his left hand.
As soon as I exert force, the pulse is gone, and as soon as I loosen it, the pulse is there again!
The smile on Xiao Dezi's face grew the more he tried, and finally said, "Niangniang, you are really a god, you can figure out this trick!" ”
Seeing this, Qiaozhu snatched the jade Ruyi from Xiao Dezi's armpit, and after trying it himself, his face showed an expression of surprise like Xiao Dezi, "Niangniang, how did you come up with this trick?" This, this is so godly! ”
Lingxi smiled lightly and said nothing.
She really didn't come up with this trick. It was she who watched a TV series in her previous life, and the little ruffian in the TV series used this trick to fool the incompetent quacks.
Qiaozhu put Yu Ruyi back on the table, and said with a worried face after receiving a smile, "Niangniang, although this trick is magical, it is very shallow. What if they find out in the future? You can't wear that wall ring every day......"
Lingxi sneered, "Yesterday they came to check the pulse of the palace, and they didn't ask if the palace was wearing an armband......
"That's it," Xiao Dezi also echoed, "Even if Imperial Physician Liu has this idea in their hearts, they will not dare to ask Niangniang, let alone tell the emperor before they are sure, they can only say that Niangniang is weak and this nonsense." ”
Lingxi was satisfied with Xiao Dezi in his heart, and asked after a while, "How is Concubine Ren?" ”
Xiao Dezi took two steps closer to the Lingxi and whispered, "The slave has already inquired with the eunuchs in the Jiyue Palace yesterday, and the dragon heir in Concubine Ren's womb has been saved." ”
Lingxi stretched out her hand to hold the teacup for a moment, and then smiled, "Zhenzhen'er is incompetent, I have created such good conditions for her yesterday, and she still hasn't been able to get rid of the child in Concubine Ren's womb." Concubine Ren is also a great blessing, I transferred Imperial Physician Liu from her palace, and she was able to survive this hurdle safely......"
Qiaozhu asked, "Niangniang, who do you say did to Concubine Ren?" ”
Lingxi shook his head, took a sip of tea, and said, "No matter who it is, its purpose is the same as mine, that is, to make Concubine Ren's life uncomfortable." However, this man was not ruthless, his heart was unstable, and he wasted a great opportunity. ”
Xiao Dezi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Niangniang, you are sick this time, but there are rumors in the harem. It's too good to say you're sick and too weird, to say you're ......"
"I said I hurt Concubine Ren, right?" Lingxi continued, "This is because I was sick yesterday, and I attracted the emperor's heart to me. If I don't get sick, I'm afraid that the queen mother has already asked the emperor for a decree and brought someone to our Lingyan Hall to search the palace! ”
"It's still a wise mother." Qiaozhu reacted immediately and said with a smile, "You were sick yesterday, but the queen didn't dare to attack you." ”
Lingxi put down the teacup, stroked his lower abdomen with his right hand thoughtfully, and then put a soft smile on his face, "It's not that I'm wise, it's this kid who is clever." If it's not the time for him to make trouble, I'm afraid I won't come up with such a response......"
On March 18 of the sixth year of Yong'an, Lan Jieyu, who lived in the Red Bean Pavilion of Guangyang Palace, was exposed by Qingmeiren who lived in the Baihua Hall of Yongle Palace in front of Queen Zhu. Qingmei said that Lan Jieyu was jealous that Concubine Ren was pregnant, and because Concubine Ren had humiliated her when she first entered the palace, she bought off the rough envoy of Jiyue Palace, Xiangzi, who put a large amount of saffron in Concubine Ren's fetal pills, and wanted to kill Concubine Ren and the fetus in Concubine Ren's womb.
is not only Concubine Ren, dating back to the third year of Yong'an, she put a lot of safflower in the sour plum soup of the noble concubine, and she is also Lan Jieyu, so she is not the Yuejieyu who lived in the Yilan Palace at that time. In addition to these two things, Qingmei also cried in front of Queen Zhu, revealing that Lan Jieyu had given many concubines purses containing musk. It is precisely because of this purse that Qingmei people will find out what Lan Jieyu has done.
As soon as Qingmeiren's words came out, immediately a palace person in the Changxin Palace who had been waiting for the deceased Licai stood up, holding a beautifully embroidered purse and claiming that it was the Licai person's carrying, and it was Lan Jieyu or the beauty who gave it to the Licai people.
On March 25 of the sixth year of Yong'an, Lan Jieyu, who was deposed, died in the cold palace.
