Chapter 136: Eating Musk by Mistake
The October season is late autumn.
The hibiscus planted in the Hall of Mercy is in full bloom, white, pink, gouache, one by one, competing with each other.
There are no chrysanthemums in the Hall of Mercy, because when Emperor Yonghe was in power, Concubine Lu hated chrysanthemums but loved Mu Hibiscus. If that Concubine Lu hadn't been demoted to this concubine later, I'm afraid that the Hall of Mercy Star would have been renamed the Furong Palace.
It's a pity that the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year.
At this time, in the Hall of Mercy Stars, there lived a concubine who was not favored, and was kneeling at the feet of Emperor Yong'an and crying in a low voice.
Lingxi sat under Concubine Ying's hand, her heart trembled because of Emperor Yong'an's anger, she raised her head in horror, and scanned the expressions of the concubines in the palace with the residual light of her eyes
Empress Zhu hurriedly stood up when Emperor Yong'an shouted that sentence, and the tender white soft wattle stroked Emperor Yong'an's left chest, her willow eyebrows were light, her face was pale, and her apricot eyes were full of worries about Emperor Yong'an's body.
Rougui Concubine lowered her head slightly, covered her cherry lips with her right sleeve, and stared at Imperial Doctor Zhang's beautiful eyes full of fear.
Xian Guifei's face was pale, her eyes were empty, and although she was looking at Imperial Doctor Zhang who was kneeling on the ground, her thoughts didn't know where she was going.
Above Concubine Ying's rhino, Lingxi couldn't see Concubine Ying's expression, but he could feel that Concubine Ying was looking at herself.
After seeing it clearly, Lingxi once again laid his eyes on Imperial Doctor Zhang, whose forehead was covered with sweat.
Imperial Physician Zhang was so yelled at by Emperor Yong'an that his body trembled, and he knelt there and trembled for a long time before kowtowing to Emperor Yong'an and said, "If you go back to the emperor, Wancai people have eaten a large amount of musk ...... by mistake."
As soon as Imperial Doctor Zhang's words came out, Lingxi was confused in his heart, didn't Wancai have an accident because of cinnabar?
After a turn of thought, Lingxi figured it out again. Cinnabar is a slow poison, if Imperial Physician Zhang said that the poison in Wancai is cinnabar, it is equivalent to directly telling Emperor Yongan that this matter has nothing to do with him. Now even if Wancai is really because of cinnabar, Imperial Doctor Zhang will definitely say that it is because of other poisons. Only in this way will he buy and sell all the money he has done in the past few months.
Lingxi looked at Imperial Physician Zhang, and there were doubts in his heart. Wancai people slipped tires, why did only one Taiyi Zhang come?
Emperor Yong'an was angry when he heard this, kicked Concubine Xin to the ground, and said angrily: "I will give you a chance, you can explain why there is musk in your palace." ”
Concubine Xin was kicked by Emperor Yong'an and almost lost her breath, and after a few ups and downs in her chest, she quickly got up, knelt at the feet of Emperor Yong'an, covered her mouth and cried, "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged!" There was no musk in the palace of the concubines. Wancai people are eating here with their concubines today, and all the food and use are sent from the imperial dining room, and I hope the emperor will check clearly! ”
Concubine Xin's personal palace maid Luo Chen also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Yong'an like pounding garlic, and said with tears streaming down her face, "Your Majesty, Wancai and Concubine Xin's mother said that the abdominal pain was unbearable as soon as they sat down, and the food on the table had not yet been touched......"
Luo Chen's words woke up Xin Concubine, and Xin Concubine hurriedly grabbed the hem of Emperor Yong'an's robe, and said with snot and tears, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Luo Chen is right." Wancai people have never touched the dishes, how can they eat musk by mistake......"
A hint of amusement slipped through Lingxi's heart.
Eighty percent of the people who are talented have slippery tires may be because of cinnabar. Imperial Doctor Zhang wanted to casually fabricate a mistaken musk and wanted to slander others, but he didn't want Wancai to eat anything in the palace of Xin Concubine and didn't move.
Doctor Zhang listened to Concubine Xin's words, and the sweat on his head fell even more.
Concubine Ying stood up and walked in front of Emperor Yong'an, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubines feel that this matter is strange. This Mercy Star Hall is the palace of Xin Concubine, even if Xin Concubine wants to harm Wancai, she will not do such a trick in her own hall, let it be true. ”
Seeing Concubine Ying standing up, Lingxi didn't dare to sit alone, so she quickly stood up and stood aside.
Concubine Rou raised her eyes and glanced at Queen Zhu's face, and said to Concubine Ying, "What Concubine Ying said is reasonable, but it is not ruled out that Concubine Xin and Concubine Ying want to go together, so they will make a dangerous ......move."
"Rougui Concubine, don't spew blood!" Concubine Xin raised her head and cursed loudly at Concubine Rou, "Do you only think I am as vicious as you, so vicious that I don't even care about the retribution that falls on my descendants?!" ”
Concubine Rou was angry at the moment, glared at Concubine Xin and said, "Concubine Xin, don't insinuate!" The second prince is not only the prince of the palace, but also the emperor and the descendant of the Dashun Dynasty. If you bite like a mad dog like this, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you for a big crime of disrespect? ”
"Huh!" Concubine Xin sneered, "What are you angry about, Rou Guifei?" I didn't mention the second prince, could it be that you have a weak heart?! ”
Empress Zhu scolded angrily, "Enough! In front of the emperor, do you still look like a concubine?! ”
Concubine Rou just wanted to go back, but when she saw the eyes handed over by Queen Zhu, she immediately stopped. Rou Guifei fell to the ground on her knees, knelt in front of Emperor Yong'an and said, Dou Da's tears slipped down from the corners of her eyes, "Your Majesty, Sister Wan is kind on weekdays, and I don't know who is so poisonous to the dragon heir in her belly, and I also ask the emperor to investigate carefully, and he will not let that person go to the harem." ”
Emperor Yong'an was already angry, and after listening to the words of Rou Guifei, he was even more irritable. But at this time, his heart was all hung on the body of Wancai, and he was already out of order.
Empress Zhu saw a trace of panic flashing in Emperor Yong'an's eyes, and hurriedly answered, "Please also ask the emperor to calm his anger, the concubines will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom of the matter, and give justice to the talented people!" ”
As soon as Empress Zhu's words fell, Lingxi's heart trembled.
Ziwan walked out of the dormitory, holding a red pear wood carved disc in her hand, and the plate was covered with a piece of vermilion cloth. The tears on Ziwan's face had not yet dried, and she knelt in front of Emperor Yong'an, and opened the vermilion sermon, "Your Majesty, Wancai people have slipped down the fetus, and they are princes......"
On top of the tray lay a black fetus not much bigger than a fist. The five-month-old fetus has been formed, and it has both hands and feet. The weak body curled up, as if in the mother's body. It's just that there is no trace of life at this time......
Emperor Yong'an looked at the purple and black thing on the disc, disgusted and angry, and sat back on the low kang in front of him, his heart beating wildly.
There are a lot of lost imperial heirs in the harem, but it has never been true that he has really been in front of Emperor Yong'an and let Emperor Yong'an see it with his own eyes. Seeing that the emperor, who should have been born normally, was lying on the tray coldly at this time, Emperor Ren Yongan, as the king of a country, couldn't stand this kind of hard visual impact.
Empress Zhu shouted angrily at Zi Wan, "More and more presumptuous! Don't take it yet! ”
Ziwan hurriedly covered the tray again with the vermilion cloth, kowtowed to Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhu, and said, "The emperor forgives the sin, and the queen mother forgives the sin." It was Wancai who insisted on letting the slave and maid take it out, saying that she would definitely bring it to the emperor and let the emperor see how her emperor died tragically. ”
After speaking, he kowtowed again, got up and was about to walk out of the hall with the tray.
Emperor Yong'an opened his eyes, the green tendons on his forehead rioted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Come back!" ”
Ziwan knelt on the ground with a puff when she heard this, and the fetus on the tray almost fell out.
"Put the Six Princes on the table." Emperor Yong'an pointed to the mahogany table in the inner hall and said to Zi Wan.
When all the concubines heard the three words of the six princes, they all looked up at Emperor Yong'an. Empress Zhu even said loudly, "Your Majesty, this is not ......"
"Are I the emperor or are you the emperor?!" Emperor Yong'an shouted angrily at Empress Zhu, who persuaded him, "He should have been born, but he was born in the royal family before he was damaged in the womb!" As the king of a country, his father can't even protect his weak life! Can't I give him a false name?! ”
Empress Zhu fell to her knees with a pop, her ears buzzing. She couldn't find any reason to refute Emperor Yong'an's words at this time, what ancestral system, what legal code, the rules and regulations written in the book, far less terrifying than Emperor Yong'an's anger at this time!
As soon as Empress Zhu knelt down, Concubine Ying and Concubine Xian, who were standing, also knelt down, trembling in Emperor Yong'an's loud drinks.
The incense bell, which had been burning in the corner of the inner hall, made a crisp sound of "ding", and it was not timely. The sound of Wancairen's crying could no longer be heard in the dormitory, only a few little palace maids went in and out, or carrying a basin full of blood, or carrying out a bloody bedding.
After the little palace maid cleaned up, Xia Han walked out of the dormitory, knelt in front of Emperor Yong'an and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, Wancai people want to see the emperor." ”
Emperor Yong'an stood up after hearing this, and hurriedly entered the dormitory.
Lingxi's heart was trembling, she looked up at Xia Han, saw that Xia Han's eyes were red and swollen, and also glanced at Lingxi.
Concubine Rou raised her eyebrows on the side and said, "Concubine Ying knows this little palace maid?" How do you get eyebrows? ”
Lingxi met Concubine Rougui's provocative eyes and asked, "What do you mean, Concubine Rou?" The Biography of Concubine Ying: ..
"It's not interesting." Concubine Rou knelt on her lap, raised the corners of her mouth and said, "I only heard that Wancai people have a very close relationship with Concubine Ying on weekdays, and even the slaves around them are sent around." Today, when I saw it, it seemed that this little palace maid was in the former Ying Concubine Palace. ”
"That's right." Lingxi bowed his head and said, "This little palace maid's name is Xia Han, and she has worked as an errand in the Lingyan Palace. Later, I saw that there were not enough minions around Wancairen, so I went back to the queen mother and gave Xia Han to Wancairen, and the queen knew about it. ”
"Oh......" Concubine Rougui let out a long sigh, suddenly raised her willow eyebrows, and shouted loudly to Lingxi, "Bold Ying Concubine, you bought the palace maid around Wancai to murder the dragon heir in Wancai's womb, you are guilty!" ”
"I don't know sin!" Lingxi raised his head and looked at Rou Gui Concubine's eyes without fear, "Rou Gui Concubine, you are bold enough to buy the imperial doctor to murder the dragon heir in the womb of Wancai, you are guilty!" ”
"You're spewing blood!" Concubine Rou was stunned, and her face turned white.
Imperial Physician Zhang knelt on the ground on the side, his body trembled, and he also retorted, "Concubine Ying's mother must speak with her conscience!" Lao Chen has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years and has never done anything unfortunate! ”
Lingxi sneered and said with contempt, "Concubine Rougui is so unreasonable, okay, you say that I will buy the palace maid around Wancai, but I won't say that you will buy the imperial doctor." Lingxi turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Imperial Physician Zhang, "Imperial Physician Zhang, what is your weak heart?" Did this palace say that the imperial doctor who was bought by the noble concubine was you? "I wanted to come to the third watch today, and I didn't have time during the day. Now a change, I'll work hard again ~ all ~ all ~
