Chapter 251: Fueling the Flames
After probing the catkins' mouth, Pei Shuang didn't dare to delay for a moment, and expressed his worries to Ruyue. The slave always felt that the catkins were too real, whether it was learning that her sister was pregnant, or infected with the vicious disease smallpox, she was extremely calm. It seems that this set of rhetoric has been prepared in the morning. It's just that she is imprisoned in the Yongshou Palace, and it is impossible to know the letter outside! ”
Ruyue took a deep breath, slowly calmed down, and slowly spoke: "At first, I only thought that the smallpox disease was raging in the palace, and it might be that God was warning me. Don't play with power anymore and make the harem miserable. After all, the fifth elder brother was born not long ago, and Xiaowei was fostered in Yonghe Palace......
I'm afraid it's just my own heart is not quiet. Stopping and thinking about it carefully, this evil disease seems to have been deliberately arranged by someone. Especially when this vicious disease was raging, Liu Mianmian became pregnant. ”
"Such as the concubine Niangniang Wanfu." Across the door, the little eunuch's voice was particularly muffled: "Grandpa Chang asked me to bring you a letter, the emperor has asked Imperial Doctor Chen and others to go to Qixiang Palace to serve the noble people full-time, please rest assured." ”
Le Xi'er and Xiao Mazi had come into contact with the little eunuch who was sick in Yongshou Palace, and they were probably also contaminated with the disease, so they were locked up. So only the little eunuch in the lower courtyard took up Le Xi'er's errand first, and it was no wonder that Ruyue couldn't hear who this person's voice was.
"Got it." Pei Shuang responded, but did not relax his vigilance, leaned on the window lattice and looked through the gap, and then nodded reassuringly: "You can go." ”
The little eunuch answered, bowed down and retreated several steps before turning and going out.
Ruyue looked at Peishuang's series of actions, and couldn't help but smile: "Even you are becoming more and more careful, everything is so careful." Pei Shuang's face turned red and he couldn't help laughing: "When is it, how dare the slave not pay attention." This Liu Mianmian has only been back in the palace for a few days, and he has stirred people upside down. The slave really felt that this matter had nothing to do with her. ”
"You're right." Ruyue hangs her head, her curly eyelashes are long and slender, and her heels are distinct, just right to maintain a fresh and neat posture, covering her eyes to cover a little shyness. originally thought that the ensuing turmoil would make the emperor tired and alienate everyone in the harem more and more.
But he didn't want to, he treated himself so tenderly, as if he had experienced all kinds of turbidity, and was finally willing to calm down and see the person in front of him clearly.
"What the slave said is true, there are some obstacles, the most important thing is the emperor's heart for you, Miss, it's true!" Pei Shuangxiao couldn't close her mouth, and she could see the warmth and sweetness of these days very clearly. The emperor may finally be able to understand Miss's intentions, this is more important than anything else.
"you." Ruyue was embarrassed, deliberately serious, and said with fake anger: "When is it, I don't know what the situation is in Concubine Zhuang's palace, you still have the kung fu to joke with me here." ”
"Don't worry, miss, Shi Qianmo Shi Imperial Doctor has already been sent to Yonghe Palace to serve in the morning. If there was anything, someone would have already been sent to make it clear. Concubine Zhuang treats the little princess as if she were her own, how can she not take care of it. Pei Shuang always felt that things were not for the little princess, but for the fifth elder brother. But how could it be so coincidental that the fifth elder brother was fine, but infected the fourth elder brother of the queen's mother. ”
"Coincidentally?" Ruyue muttered about the meaning of these two words. But I heard the noble man asking to see him outside the door: "The concubine is blessed, can the concubine come in?" ”
"Go and help the nobles come in." When Ruyue heard this voice, she hurriedly ordered Pei Shuang to open the door. "Why is my sister here, it's not good to rest in the room."
"Lao Niangniang is thinking about it." Jia Guiren blessed his body, and the injuries on his body were almost healed. There is only a pair of jade hands, because the injury is more serious, and the delicate work can no longer be done. But she didn't care much about it, it was good to be able to pick up this life. Besides, for a few days, like a concubine, she has really been more affectionate than her own sisters.
"The concubine has nothing to do, and she can't help but think about it. I thought about it a lot, but I felt tired, so I came to talk to my mother and relieve the troubles in my heart. Jia Guiren sat down next to Ruyue.
Pei Shuang hurriedly handed over a cup of hot tea: "Why did the noble man come over by himself, and there was not even a girl with him?" ”
"It's okay." Jia Guiren smiled: "I always trouble them to serve them all day long, and occasionally I want to walk alone." ”
Ruyue looked at the graceful face of the noble person, and couldn't help but be sad, if she had listened to Qin'er's words at that time, she would have brought the noble person out of Changchun Palace earlier, and she would not have suffered so much, ruining her good future in vain. only looked at the pair of stiff hands, and his heart stinged.
"Niangniang don't worry, the concubine's hand is already much better." How could Jia Guiren not know Ruyue's worries and guilt, and said with a calm smile: "These days, the concubine's sister has practiced her fingers according to the instructions of Imperial Doctor Shi, and she has been able to bend slightly. In time, we will be able to return to our former state, and even if we can't, saving our lives is the most important thing.
Between gains and losses, perhaps most people always like to look at the side of loss, but the concubine would rather see what she has gained. When you think about it this way, your heart will inevitably be much more spacious. What do you say? ”
These words seem to mean something else, and how smart Ruyue is, between the calcium carbide fire, she obviously understands something. "Jia Guiren is really smart and discerning."
Pei Shuang was puzzled, glanced at Ruyue, and then went to look at the expression of the noble person. "Why can't the slave and maid understand, what are the young lady and the noble lady talking about!"
"Smallpox." Ruyue's cold face suddenly raised a mysterious look of pride: "Don't you also suspect that this matter may have nothing to do with Liu Mianmian!" What Hongu couldn't figure out was what benefit she could do if she herself was infected with smallpox. But after listening to the words of Jia Guiren, I already have the answer in my heart. ”
"This ......" Pei Shuang still didn't know why, a pair of bright eyes stared slightly round.
"In the past, before the Liu sisters entered the palace, they were forced by Prince Qing Fujin to use a lot of things that hurt their bodies. As a result, it is not easy to get pregnant, but now, the one in the Qixiang Palace is already three months pregnant. Jia Guiren pursed her lips, and her leisure was like looking at flowers, without the slightest sense of urgency: "If she is infected with smallpox, who else will have bad thoughts about her?" They all thought that she was going to die, and maybe she could walk down and keep the child. ”
"I have such a skill!" Pei Shuang was a little stunned, she knew that smallpox was a particularly terrible disease: "Could it be that Sister Liu has something unique that she can't do to resolve this evil disease?" ”
"Not surprising." Jia Guiren smiled softly, and her hands holding the tea cup were slightly stiff: "Sister Liu's dancing skills are comparable to Feiyan Hede in the past. Known for its gentleness and unique character. But it is also very harsh, requiring dancers to feed on flowers and plants all year round and not get oily. Maybe they knew how to heal smallpox! ”
Ruyue only felt that she was in a much better mood, and she was still worried about the fourth elder brother, and she already felt that there was no big problem at this time. "If that's the case, Mianxin can be saved."
"Miss, are you saying that in order to get close to the queen, Liu Mianmian will inevitably offer medicine to treat the fourth elder brother?" Peishuang's heart was extremely turbulent: "But if she takes out the medicine now, won't she be able to save her fetus?" If she really wanted to keep her fetus, how could she be so anxious to save the fourth elder brother and let the queen be intimate with her! ”
Jia Guiren agreed with Pei Shuang's statement, but he was also worried: "Niangniang, the concubine is also afraid, this Liu Mianmian has a vicious mind, and she doesn't have to cling to the queen's protection." Choosing between her own child and the fourth elder brother, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be greedy and selfish to protect her own interests. In this way, the fourth elder brother is really pitiful! ”
"It's okay, we can help her." Ruyue also took a sip of tea, thinking about the fourth elder brother's condition, and unconsciously twisted her eyebrows into a rope: "I guess Liu Mianmian's baby will definitely not be born, so she can only cling to the queen's protection." ”
Seeing that the noble concubine was determined, Jia Guiren said: "If this is the case, then the Liu family must have planted someone around him, trying to get away with it." After all, she was so lucky, she accompanied the emperor on a tour once, and she really got the emperor's grace. ”
Ruyue squinted her eyes and leaned lazily on the cushion behind her: "In the harem, either it is Tian'en or the heir, you have to rely on it, so that life is not sad." Now that we have guessed the trick of the Liu family, Pei Shuang, you secretly send people to take a look, especially the people around the Liu family.
She must not wait for a full month to find another child to replace the one in her womb. In this way, either the child has been found in advance and arranged outside the palace. Or, just take it in the palace, stay by your side, and see it often to feel at ease. When the time comes, I am not afraid that there will be any variables.
With Bengong's understanding of the Liu family, it is speculated that this child must be in Qixiang Palace, and if this person is arrested as soon as possible, the fourth elder brother's illness will be cured as soon as possible. ”
"Niangniang is really kind-hearted." Jia Guiren lowered his head, and there was a little emotion in his eyes: "The queen mother is on the same page as you, but you can pity her with a motherly heart." If you change to a concubine, you will really be ashamed. ”
Ruyue raised her head and closed her eyes gently: "The fourth elder brother once raised by the side of the Jade Concubine, and regarded it as his own, if the Jade Concubine had a spirit in the sky, he would definitely want me to do so." What's more, if there is anything wrong with a child, he should not be counted by a malevolent person for his own favor. All kinds of things in the harem are just a struggle for power and interests, and in the end, it is just the greed and extravagance of the palace concubines.
The palace hopes that the emperor can add a few more elder brothers to his knees, even if it is a princess! ”
Stretched out his hand and gently patted the back of Jia Guiren's hand: "My sister is still young, sooner or later I will have the opportunity to fulfill this wish for me." ”
"Niangniang......" Jia Guiren was a little shy, sighed softly, and finally didn't go overboard.
