Chapter 200: Recruitment

On the second day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Yong'an, the holy decree and the wine arrived at the storm room at the same time, and the Zhu family was abolished and died.

On the same day, Yong'an ordered the Criminal Department to strictly investigate the case of the Shi family's extermination and rehabilitate the Shi family.

This matter is widely implicated, and in less than a month, half of the Zhu family's remaining party has been eliminated, and a criminal department official of Zhengwupin has been implicated. Emperor Yong'an was furious and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to intervene in the affairs of the harem, and investigated everything that the Zhu family had done over the years after the abolition, and Zhu Xian was completely down. The branch of the family where Concubine Rou and Fang Jieyu belong has risen rapidly in the Zhu family.

This is a later story, not here.

On the third day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Yong'an, Xiao Dezi, Qiaozhu, Hanyan, Hanyu, and Xiao Wuzi, the old slaves who had served Lingxi in the past, were all returned by Emperor Yong'an.

Several people knelt in front of Lingxi's bed, and kowtowed to Lingxi in unison.

Lotus Ye couldn't help crying, kneeling on the ground and holding Qiaozhu unwilling to let go.

Even though Lingxi repeatedly controlled his emotions, his eyes were still red. She propped herself up and glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and asked Xiao Dezi, "Xiao Renzi, Xia Lan, they don't want to come back, do they?" ”

Xiao Dezi raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, lowered his head and said, "Niangniang, it's not that Xiao Renzi and Xia Lan don't want to come back, they can't come back......"

Lingxi choked and lowered his head. After a while, she said to Xiao Dezi again, "I have suffered you and them." Find a way out and take care of their family outside the palace......"

Qiaozhu got up from the lotus leaf's arms, climbed to Lingxi's bed, reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of Lingxi's eyes and said, "Niangniang, the bitter time has passed, and Niangniang will definitely soar in the future, and no one will dare to bully us anymore." ”

Lingxi raised his hand and held Qiaozhu's tightly and nodded vigorously.

Qiaozhu saw that Lingxi didn't cry anymore, so he wiped a big smile on his face, and smiled at Lingxi, "Niangniang, do you see if Qiaozhu looks good, Qiaozhu wants to eat hibiscus cake~"

Lingxi looked at Qiaozhu's innocent appearance, and burst out laughing. Xiao Dezi and the others who were kneeling on the ground couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, and the atmosphere in the dormitory finally got better.

Lingxi pinched Qiaozhu's small nose with his hand and said, "As long as you are a clever person, you didn't cry or panic after waking up, but you can continue to pretend." ”

"It's just ......" Hanyan knelt on the ground, and smiled with red eyes, "The slave lives with Qiaozhu every day, but I don't know that Qiaozhu has woken up." One day, Qiaozhu suddenly spoke to the slave maid, and the slave and maid were stunned! ”

"Cut, Qiaozhu's mind is comparable to you." Xiao Dezi slurred his words, "Qiaozhu found me after waking up." ”

In order to bribe Father-in-law Tian to bring a letter to Lingxi, Xiao Dezi broke off all the gold teeth in his mouth.

Qiaozhu rubbed his face against Lingxi's slightly red, swollen, and no longer smooth hands, and his throat was blocked in panic. Lowering his head, Qiaozhu said, "Actually, the slave and maid are also afraid, and when they open their eyes, there will be smoke left in front of the slave and maid." When she learned from the mouth of the palace people that Niangniang had entered the cold palace, the slave felt that the sky had fallen. The slave and maid used to cry fiercely with a cigarette on their backs, and then the slave and maid wanted to run out of the Ting Palace to inquire about the news, and happened to meet Concubine Ren......"

"Concubine Ren......" Lingxi sat up with Qiaozhu's hand, and frowned, "Concubine Renfei explained that you had done so many things, not to mention how you did it...... Now that I'm back, Concubine Ren won't keep you. Even if Concubine Ren didn't have the intention of killing you, Concubine Ying wouldn't let you go......"

Lotus Ye's face turned white all of a sudden, and he stepped forward and hugged Qiaozhu tightly, "Niangniang, what should I do?" ”

"Mother, no more, I'll keep pretending to be stupid?" Qiaozhu didn't care about it, and said with a smile, "Niangniang, last year, the slave maid was knocked unconscious and thrown into the lotus pond on a rainy day, if it weren't for the fact that the slave maid was worried that the slave maid would have ordered Xiao Wuzi to find them, the slave and maid would have been gone for a long time." Slaves and maids have all died once, what are you afraid of? As long as the death is valuable, the slave and maid will not die in vain......"

Xiao Wuzi's tears slipped down again, the death of Xiao Renzi and Xia Lan was the kind of worthless.

Xiao Renzi has been looking for an opportunity to enter the Weiyang Palace to find out the news, but in the end he was found dead in a dry well. Needless to say, Xia Lan was punished by the grandmother of the miscellaneous room to kneel in the yard during the heavy snow a year ago, and she froze to death.

Qiaozhu said briskly, but Lingxi's heart was not brisk. This incident made Lingxi even more convinced of the value of loyal servants, how could she let Qiaozhu be in danger?

"This stupid, you pretend first." Lingxi lay down again and said, "Let me think about anything else, don't worry, I won't let them touch a single hair of you." Lingxi said to the few people kneeling on the ground again, "Don't kneel, there must be more minions in this Spirit Research Hall." Although the Zhu family is no longer there, there are still Concubine Ying, Concubine Ren, and Concubine Rou in this harem...... You're going to keep your eyes open......"

Lotus Ye got up, nodded and said, "The slave maid will take Hanyan to the palace bureau later, and pick a few tender ones, so you don't need to send them from the palace." ”

"One more thing...... Lingxi stared at the brand-new pink bed curtain and said, "The cold palace is a place that no one pays attention to now, you go and take care of the lotus leaves, and arrange for someone to go in and wait for Granny Bai and Concubine Wan......"

Xiao Dezi answered, "Niangniang, when it comes to the cold palace slave, I remembered one thing. Grandpa Tian came to look for the slave last night......"

"That's a wallgrass." Lingxi closed his eyes, and the voice he made became blurred, "Favor us now, I don't guarantee ...... in the future."

"Then uproot!" Lotus Ye gritted her teeth, revealing a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes. She looked up at Xiao Dezi and instructed, "Be neat with your hands and feet, don't let people notice anything." ”

Xiao Dezi was frightened by the cruelty in the lotus leaf's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I'll do it as soon as possible." ”

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Yong'an, although Lingxi did not participate in the family banquet of the palace due to illness, on the family banquet, Emperor Yong'an still issued the holy decree of the concubine. and issued a holy decree, Concubine Ying is virtuous and intelligent, and temporarily assists in the affairs of the six palaces until the canonization of the new queen.

Concubine Ying is the assistant of the six palaces, and she is like a deputy queen, but she still does not have the right to accept the concubines to kneel.

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Yong'an, the golden seal of the concubine, the golden book, the hairpin from the second grade, and the court clothes worn by the canonization were sent to the Lingyan Hall by the little eunuch of the Ministry of Rites.

In the same shape, there are countless rare treasures, gold, silver and jade rewarded by Emperor Yong'an.

In the afternoon, congratulatory gifts from various palaces were also delivered. Qiaozhu's eyes showed a light that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he almost drooled when he stared at those things.

Holding a pair of jade horses in her hands, she jumped to her feet and said, "It's gone, it's gone!" This time it's really posted! ”

Although the Lingyan Hall has not been repaired due to the serious illness of the Lingxi, the luxury of its costume is the only one in the entire harem. The concubines in the harem snapped their tongues every time they mentioned it. But because Lingxi has suffered so many grievances, no one has said anything.

After Lingxi was crowned a concubine, the most uneasy ones were the noble concubines and Yu concubines.

Although Emperor Yong'an did not issue an edict to punish the noble concubines, the noble concubines still lived in the Deyang Palace, and the gate did not go out of the two gates. Copying scriptures all day long, as if he had been locked up.

When a concubine went to visit, she asked, and the noble concubine said with red eyes, "This palace feels guilty about Concubine Yingniang in my heart, so I can only eat fasting and chant Buddha, and pray that Concubine Ying's body will be better soon, and I can give birth to a dragon heir for the emperor again." ”

Regardless of whether the noble concubine's move is true or not, it really left a virtuous reputation in the hearts of Emperor Yongan and the concubine.

Yu Concubine is uneasy, it is the five princes.

In half a year, she has treated the five princes as her own biological children. Now when she thinks of returning the five princes to Lingxi, her heart is like a knife.

Pan'er could only sigh, "Niangniang, since you didn't be so ruthless at the beginning, now you can only let the fifth prince return to Concubine Ying's side." ”

The word concubine, Pan'er bit extremely hard.

On May 28, Yong'an, after Dr. Wang finished diagnosing Lingxi's pulse, he finally said to Lingxi, whose complexion had recovered its ruddy complexion, "Congratulations to Concubine Yingniang, Niangniang's body is already well." For the rest, as long as you pay more attention to your daily diet and take care of it, within half a year, Niangniang's body will recover as before. ”

Lingxi was happy in her heart, she had been lying on the bed for a month, and her bones would rust if she lay down again.

She smiled and bowed her head to Imperial Physician Wang, and said, "I'm really happy to be tired of Imperial Physician Wang's careful care in recent days, I don't know what to do?" I thought about giving Imperial Doctor Wang a few things, but I was afraid that I would belittle Imperial Doctor Wang......"

Imperial Physician Wang smiled lightly, stroked his gray beard with his hand, and said with a smile, "Concubine Ying doesn't have to be so polite, it is an honor for the minister to serve Concubine Ying...... If Concubine Yingniang really has a heart, the old minister wants to ask Niangniang for something. ”

Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Although I don't know what the Imperial Physician wants, as long as I can do it, I will definitely find it for the Imperial Physician." ”

"Mother, there must be." Imperial Physician Wang put the wrist pillow into his medicine box, looked up and smiled at Lingxi's expression, and spit out four words, "Beauty is twilight." ”

Lingxi's smile was still hanging on the corner of his mouth, but his face had turned white, "Imperial Doctor Wang, I don't understand what you mean. ”

Imperial Physician Wang smiled and said frankly, "Don't hide it from Concubine Yingniang, this 'beauty is in the twilight' of the old minister's match for filial piety and the empress dowager." There are no more than four people in the entire harem who have seen this poison. Imperial Physician Wang stretched out four fingers, and every time he dropped a finger, he said a person's name, "Filial piety and the Empress Dowager, the old minister, the Imperial Physician Feng who served in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe in the early years, and then there, there is Concubine Yingniang." As for others, they are all destined to see it, and they have no destiny to say...... Back then, filial piety and the Empress Dowager were kind to the minister, if it weren't for the fact that the minister found the 'beauty twilight' in Niangniang's body, the minister would not have stood on Niangniang's side...... But Niangniang really amazed the old minister, and actually retreated into advance, and used this poison on herself......"

Lingxi foamed at the mouth, his face slowly returned to normal, met the scheming gaze of Imperial Physician Wang, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't Imperial Physician Wang feel that his judgment is too arbitrary?" I am a poisoned person, how can I have such poison in my hands? ”

Imperial Physician Wang laughed and shook his head slightly, "Concubine Ying, the old minister is arrogant, and I will call you Miss Ling'er again." Miss Ling'er, before leaving the palace, Xiao and the Empress Dowager had told the old minister that all her life savings were handed over to Miss Ling'er. Her old man told the old minister that if one day Miss Ling'er used those things to kill the emperor's heir, let the old minister stand up......"

Lingxi's heart chuckled, and he felt that he had walked countless times on the edge of the cliff over the years.

Imperial Physician Wang continued, "Even if there is no filial piety and the advice of the Empress Dowager, the old minister knows that the thing is in the hands of the mother. The poison of 'Beauty Twilight' is most afraid of water. Niangniang can choose to make a dangerous move in the rain, isn't it calculated that if the emperor can't go in time, can you delay more time in the rain? ”

Lingxi no longer had any quibbles, she smiled admiringly, "Imperial Doctor Wang has good intentions, and I am willing to bow down." But since this 'Beauty Twilight' is configured by you, why do you want to talk to me? You have a prescription in your hand, don't you want as much as you want? ”

"There are two points," Imperial Physician Wang stretched out two fingers like branches and said with a smile, "One, the prescription of 'Beauty Twilight', the old minister was ashamed of himself back then, and it has been burned. Second, there are still places that need to be improved in the 'beauty twilight', and the old minister has been thinking about it in his heart all these years, in fact, the 'beauty twilight' can be more perfect. For example, it doesn't bleed from the nose and mouth, and when you take it, it's like the person who died of old age overnight......"

Lingxi closed her eyes, her fingers tapped on the table, and after a moment, she opened her eyes, with a gleam in her eyes, and said, "Bengong, can I trust you?" ”

Imperial Physician Wang laughed, got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "From today on, the old minister will be the person of Concubine Ying's mother." If there is infidelity, it is like this jade! ”

With a 'click', a cyan jade pendant between the fingers of Imperial Physician Wang was broken in two.
