Chapter 857: A Drop of Blood
In the main hall, everyone was staring at Concubine Yao Long Ning and Queen Su Yi, where could they not see the confrontation between them?
Queen Su Yi is deeply favored by Her Majesty since the time of the crown princess, although she has been disgusted by the Queen Mother because of her body recently, and she has lost a little of Her Majesty's heart, but after all, she is the queen. Today, the birthday banquet organized by His Majesty for the Queen is also lively and grand, which shows the status of the Queen in His Majesty's heart.
And although the newly promoted Concubine Yao has only been in the palace for a month, she is the younger sister of the King of Chu, and this identity alone makes others dare not underestimate her. Moreover, Concubine Yao was also pregnant, and when she heard that the Queen Mother was overjoyed, she immediately rewarded a lot, and specially assigned someone from the imperial dining room to serve her, which shows the Queen Mother's expectations for the child in Concubine Yao's womb.
Your Majesty is filial, and what the Queen Mother likes, Your Majesty naturally values it. Just from the fact that Concubine Yao was pregnant as soon as she entered the palace, it can be seen that His Majesty also likes Concubine Yao very much. Now that Concubine Yao and the queen are arguing, who is Your Majesty favoring?
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Nalan Ye, wanting to see his attitude.
Who knows......
Everyone's eyes almost fell out, the king of Chu was actually serving the princess of Chu?
In front of Nalan Ye, a bunch of pomegranate skins had already been peeled, and the pomegranate seeds in the crystal bowl were crystal clear, fiery red like fire, and dazzling like gems. Nalan Ye looked attentive, and her slender and white fingers moved freely on the pomegranate, and the pomegranate seeds fell into the bowl one by one. And Luo Qingluan, the princess of Chu, was holding a silver spoon, eating spoonful by spoon with satisfaction, and smiled.
Just watching, Luo Qingluan took another spoonful and sent it to Nalan Ye's lips.
Nalan smiled at night, full of tenderness revealed, his thin lips opened and ate pomegranate seeds, the tender and sweet look, the happiness of satisfaction, everyone who saw it thought it was an illusion.
Feelings, Concubine Yao and the queen mother made a fuss, the king of Chu and the princess of Chu didn't realize it, they didn't have the slightest interest, they just cared about their love non-stop?
Long Ning glanced at Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan, and the hatred in his heart was not good, and he focused all his energy on Queen Su Yi.
"This ......" Who knows, Nangong Qing smiled and waved his hand: "Concubine Yao doesn't have to be like this, in fact, what the queen said makes sense, I didn't think about it so much for a while, and now I realize that it is not very suitable." ”
"Your Majesty, ...... you" Long Ning was stunned, His Majesty actually helped Su Yi speak?
"It's true that I didn't think it through before, so I was in a hurry. Now that I think about it, killing hundreds of peacocks in order to make a piece of clothing is indeed against the peace of heaven. The queen was originally a birthday joy, but now my gift has seen blood, out of time, it seems that this colorful neon dress and feather coat is not suitable for the queen. ”
Nangong Qing's face was full of guilt, and he took Su Yi's hand: "Queen, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would really have to do something wrong." You can rest assured, I will never be so reckless in the future. ”
Su Yi smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty Shengming." Everything in the world has spirituality, even if it is not a peacock, it is the most ordinary bird, insect, snake and ant, and it is also a life. Your Majesty cherishes all things in order to be blessed by God, and if Your Majesty is merciful, it is the blessing of all people. ”
When the ministers heard this, they said in unison: "Your Majesty is kind! God bless Xichu! ”
Sonorous and powerful, the aftermath is lingering, Nangong Qing's face is full of light, Su Yi is full of smiles, the two sit side by side, it is a perfect match, and the emperor and queen are deeply in love.
Long Ning stood on the spot, and he blushed a lot, and he didn't feel it inside and out.
Biting her lower lip, she wanted to turn around and leave, but with countless pairs of eyes watching, she only felt uncomfortable, as if everyone was laughing at her.
How could Su Yi be so arrogant and rob her of her favor?
How could she be so embarrassed and make people laugh at herself?
Something flashed through his mind, Long Ning's expression suddenly became painful, and his body fell down weakly.
With an uproar, the case in front of him was knocked down, the melon and fruit cups and plates fell and shattered, rolling everywhere, Yuhu's eyelids jumped, and he exclaimed: "Ah, Concubine Yao!" ”
This change came too suddenly, everyone was stunned, Nangong Qing stood up suddenly, couldn't care about Su Yi anymore, rushed down to Long Ning's side in two steps, helped her up and shouted anxiously: "Ning'er...... Ning'er ...... What happened to you? Doctor, come to Doctor! ”
As soon as he shouted, Nangong Qing suddenly looked at Luo Qingluan and said loudly: "Princess Chu, Concubine Yao seems to be in pain, come and help her see, what's going on?" ”
Luo Qingluan frowned, she was eating the pomegranate seeds peeled by Nalan at night, and when she was satisfied, she didn't pay attention to what was going on with Long Ning. Although she didn't want to diagnose and treat Long Ning, in front of everyone's eyes, she was Nalan Ye's junior sister and didn't know about him......
Just wanted to ask Nalan Ye if she wanted to go and see Long Ning, but she heard Long Ning in Nangong Qing's arms mutter, and grabbed his sleeve: "No, no...... Concubines, ...... Ask for Imperial Doctor Li...... Your Majesty......"
Nangong Qing didn't think about it, and said directly: "Quick, pass on Imperial Doctor Li to Xizhao Palace!" ”
In the chaos, a good birthday banquet could not be held, and everyone watched, not knowing what would happen. Su Yi was also very stunned when she stood on the main hall, she didn't expect Long Ning to faint suddenly.
Nangong Qing didn't leave a word, and had already carried Long Ning into the inner hall, leaving Su Yi standing in front of the hall with a blank look. The ministers didn't dare to stay longer when they saw what was going on, and retired one by one, Luo Qingluan thought about it and asked Nalan Ye to go back first, and she would accompany Su Yi and come back.
But for a moment, there was silence in the hall, only the cups and plates were in disarray, and the remaining palace maids and eunuchs were cleaning up the aftermath. Luo Qingluan pulled Su Yi aside to reassure her, anyway, Long Ning's stomach pain had nothing to do with her.
"Your Majesty...... He ...... after all."
Su Yi's eyes were unfocused, staring blankly at a certain place in the air, and muttered to himself: "He cares so much about Concubine Yao, when she screams in pain, Your Majesty ...... His Majesty is gone, he looks so anxious, I ......"
Only then did she know what Su Yi cared about, Luo Qingluan frowned, and comforted her: "What are you worried about, Concubine Yao is pregnant with his child after all, and she should be worried." Not to mention Concubine Yao, even if Concubine Li and the others have an accident in public, His Majesty will not stand idly by. Su Yi, you know Your Majesty best, he is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, are you happy to see Concubine Yao faint today, and Your Majesty is indifferent? ”
That's just as well. Su Yi seemed to understand a little, but she was still a little worried: "However, I'm afraid that Concubine Yao will say that she has abdominal pain because Her Majesty said that just now, and she was excited about her abdominal pain." If something happens to her, wouldn't I be blamed for it? ”
"You are, why do you pull everything on yourself? It's Concubine Yao who is careful and can't think about it, and it's not you who scolded her, what's the matter with you? Although Luo Qingluan doesn't like Su Yi to be so timid, she has changed a lot recently, and she sees it in her eyes and in her heart, and she also approves of it.
didn't let Su Yi think about it too much, Luo Qingluan pulled her, and simply went to the side hall to see the little prince.
Seeing her son, she was distracted, so Su Yi put Long Ning's matter aside and hugged her son to tease.
beckoned to Ruyi, and while Su Yi was not paying attention, Luo Qingluan called her over and whispered: "You keep an eye on the hall, if there is any problem or abnormality, come and tell me immediately." ”
"Yes, Princess Chu." Ruyi understood and hurried to go.
Let's say that in the inner hall, it was originally the bed where Queen Su Yi slept, but now there was Long Ning, who had abdominal pain, and Nangong Qing was anxiously standing aside, blaming himself.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yao Niangniang was in a hurry and had too many mood swings, which affected the fetus in her womb and almost showed signs of miscarriage." Imperial Physician Li leaned over respectfully and said, "Concubine Yao has only been pregnant for one month now, and the fetus in her womb is not stable, and it is the first time to be pregnant, if she is too emotional, or if she moves too much, it will easily affect the fetus." ”
Nangong Qing was scared for a while, clasped Long Ning's hand, and said apologetically: "Ning'er, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I ...... just now"
It seemed that he had eased up a little, Long Ning was lying on the bed, looking weak, but with a smile on his face: "How can you blame Your Majesty!" Just now, the concubine was too anxious, so she was excited for a while, but now seeing His Majesty so nervous about the concubine, the concubine was so happy. Even if this child is really gone, as long as there is His Majesty's heart......"
Nangong Qing covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!" I want you to take good care of it and give birth to the child, otherwise how sad should the Queen Mother be? Your body has also been lost, how bad it is. ”
"If the child is gone, the Queen Mother will be sad and sad, so what about Your Majesty...... The concubines just want to know if His Majesty is worried, and the concubines don't care about anything else. ”
Such an affectionate person, a pair of eager eyes, where can Nangong Qing say anything to refuse?
All kinds of good words were guaranteed, and he just hoped that Long Ning would keep the child well, Nangong Qing immediately asked people to carry Luan Jia, and carefully sent Long Ning back to Luoshui Palace. In the end, he only sent someone to tell Su Yi, and he never came again.
Looking at the messy bed, Su Yi's mood that had just eased was depressed again.
Pearl and Ruyi were cleaning and changing the bedding on the bed, and complained in a low voice: "Your Majesty is really, actually letting other women sleep on Niangniang's bed, it's just too indifferent to Niangniang." ”
"That's it," Ruyi responded: "Your Majesty knows that Niangniang doesn't like Concubine Yao, and he prefers to let her stay in Niangniang's palace, and now she sleeps in this bed...... Alas, you smell it, there is a smell of foxes, but I am afraid that you will have to find some incense to smoke later. ”
Pearl was about to get up: "Yes, I'll go find some incense ......"
"Hey, what is this?" Suddenly, Ruyi wondered, stared at somewhere on the bed and said, "It seems to be ...... Is it bloodstains? ”
"Could it be that Concubine Yao left it just now?" Pearl was taken aback, "But didn't Imperial Doctor Li say that Concubine Yao was fine, how could she bleed?" But the mother's little day didn't come, how could it be ......"
Luo Qingluan, who was on the side, moved his heart and walked over: "I'll take a look." ”
With a sweep of her gaze, her gaze fell on the bed where Long Ning had slept just now, and saw a little stain on the bed about a little bit of her fingernails, because the futon was dark and not very obvious. But if you look closely, you can still find it.
When the fingers touched, it was still a little wet, obviously rubbed on it just now, and when I smelled it slightly, a smell of blood came from the ......
Something flashed in his mind, Luo Qingluan looked at this inconspicuous blood stain and wondered: "I'm pregnant, and I haven't had a miscarriage, just now Imperial Doctor Li said that it was almost, that is, there is no ...... How can there be bloodstains? ”
Could it be that this bloodstain is really on Long Ning's body?
Thinking about what happened during this time, Long Ning's pregnancy time is so short, but it was checked out at this time, if she said that she had a problem with her pregnancy, would it be possible? Moreover, Long Ning obviously didn't want her to get close just now, as if she was afraid that she would harm herself, does this also mean that Long Ning has a weak heart?
Su Yi stood in front of the bed, also a little puzzled: "Qingluan, have you thought of something?" ”
Luo Qingluan was a little suspicious, but for such a big matter, she had never diagnosed Long Ning's pulse, so she couldn't draw conclusions for a while.
