Chapter 281: Promotion (2)
A few days later, he drove back to Beijing.
He Xi was pregnant and was supported to walk in the rear, and she could see through the crowd that there was a person in front of the neatly lined royal honor guard, with a thin figure, kneeling in front, and the red dress seemed to be soaked in blood.
She faintly listened to Tuoba Chen's words, "How is King Xian's condition?" β
"The younger brother's illness is no longer in the way, Your Majesty Xie cares, it is the fault of the younger brother that he has not been by His Majesty's side these days." Tuoba Yue's voice like a charming moon came.
Calm and calm, not like the pampering and anger of that day.
He Xi just paused for a moment, then took Ruyi's hand and let the soft sedan chair go, and the emperor and Tuoba Yue exchanged a few polite words, and then they also got on the royal court.
Because of the presence of the emperor, everyone became more and more vigilant, and their footsteps were uniform, but He Xi could still distinguish a different sound from this neat pace, it was Tuoba Yue's horse, and the horse's horseshoe was the cold iron of southern Xinjiang, and the sound was much clearer.
Along the way, she was drowsy with this sound, perhaps the reason for pregnancy, as long as there is time, He Xi always has to close her eyes and take a nap.
The journey was quite smooth, but when he was about to arrive in the capital, the emperor was worried about the bodies of the concubines, especially He Xi, who was less than three months pregnant, and if the carriage and horses were tired, I was afraid that it would affect the fetus in the womb. He ordered a short rest.
Fuqing smiled and said, "Your Majesty really loves the Xi nobles." β
Tuoba Yue on the side paused for a moment when he drank water, and his fingers subconsciously pinched the water bag in his hand, but it was only for a moment, and he slowly let go as if he was weak.
Yue Qi stepped forward and whispered: "Lord Wang, you are not in good health yet, and you shouldn't have left the mansion today." β
Tuoba Yue bowed his head and said: "It's okay, Your Majesty will return to Beijing, this king will naturally follow the royal driver, you go down." Nothing can go wrongβ"
Yue Qi said a little impatiently: "Lord Wang-you are clearly for--"
"On the seventh day of the month, when did you start talking so much? Have you started to point fingers at the king? Tuoba Yue's voice was cold, like the September wind in the mountains, with a biting chill.
Yue Qi's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "My subordinates don't dare-"
Seeing Tuoba Yue walking away, Yue Qi sighed, the prince seemed to have changed, he looked at He Xi's soft sedan chair, and suddenly a woman's scream came from the front.
Yue Qi hurriedly said: "Be alert! β
Then he walked quickly to the direction of the sound, and the sedan chairs in front of him were Tuoba Chen's royal chases, followed by the queen's phoenixes, and the concubines in the future.
And the direction from which the voice came was from the queen's phoenix!
He Xi was awakened by this sound, and she hurriedly said: "It's Concubine Shu's voice, Ruyi, help me down-"
Ruyi was also a little anxious, but seeing He Xi like this, he hurriedly said: "Little master, be careful-"
He Xi didn't care about so much, his feet fell to the ground, and he lifted his skirt and walked quickly in the direction of the sound, and suddenly, a red-clothed figure appeared in front of him blocking his way.
He Xi raised his head suddenly, the panic in his eyes made Tuoba Yue's heart soften, and he coughed lightly: "It's better for noble Xi to be in his soft sedan at this time, don't meddle in things that shouldn't be interfered with." β
He Xi looked behind him, and sure enough, the concubines who heard the voice all got down from the sedan chair one by one, but no one stepped forward, just gathered together in groups of three or five, whispering.
He Xi was anxious in his heart and said, "But Concubine Shu? Did something happen to Concubine Shu? β
Tuoba Yue frowned slightly and said: "This king will say again, the little master should not care-Ruyi, be optimistic about your master-"
Ruyi's hand shook slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his head and said, "Yes." β
After Tuoba Yue finished speaking, he led people in the direction of Feng Yu, He Xi's feet seemed to have roots, she faintly felt that something was wrong, Xu Qing'er was too abnormal these days, plus her reaction that night, He Xi always felt that something must have happened.
She raised her feet and wanted to leave, only to feel her arms tightened, she frowned at Ruyi, and said, "What are you doing?" Wishful? β
Ruyi said with a hesitant expression: "Little master, what the prince said is right, you look at the water in front of you, and those things before, the people in the palace think that you have a grudge with Concubine Shuniang, and now that you are in the past, it will destroy Concubine Shu's planββ"
Ruyi looked at He Xi with a somewhat flustered expression, He Xi just pursed his lips tightly and said, "Nothing is as important as human life-"
She turned to leave, Ruyi couldn't, and she could only hurry up.
At this time, next to Feng Yu, Lan Ruo stood aside with a surprised face, looking at the blood under his feet and the angry emperor.
There was a pink-clad beauty lying on the ground, but the beauty's skirt was covered with black and red blood, and she covered her abdomen and kept moaning, obviously it was extremely painful, but she still looked at the queen in disbelief and muttered: "The queen mother-why-why do you want to harm the concubine and the concubine's children-"
Lan Ruo finally reacted from the initial fear, and raised her voice: "It's her, it was she who fell, Your Majesty, you believe me, the concubine didn't push her." β
Because Lan Xin's sedan chair was behind Xu Qing'er, when she stopped, she saw Xu Qing'er holding the hand of the pothos and coming to the queen's phoenix, and she looked at this scene with cold eyes.
Tuoba Chen roared angrily: "What about the Imperial Doctor? Where are the Imperial Doctors? Can't they all die? β
After roaring angrily, a group of imperial doctors led by Lu Chuan were hurriedly let in and fell to their knees. For Xu Qing'er's diagnosis and treatment, because Lu Chuan is here, and it is related to the emperor's heir, it is naturally Lu Chuan who personally diagnoses the pulse-
Before Lu Chuan's hand touched Xu Qing'er's wrist, she saw Xu Qing'er grab Lu Chuan's clothes, her eyes were red, she looked at Lu Chuan with begging, and said, "Imperial Doctor Lu, please, help me, help the palace-"
Lu Chuan's heart moved, Xu Qing'er knew that the fetus in her womb was dead, and she said this just to keep herself from telling the truth about his diagnosis that night, so as to splash water on the queen's body-
He hesitated a little, as a doctor, he should not avoid hardships and dangers, day and night, cold and heat, hunger and thirst, fatigue, and go to the rescue wholeheartedly, how can he be like these thousands of people, but at this time, Xu Qing'er wants him to help her lie, how can this not make him suspicious.
Seeing that the blood was flowing more and more, Lu Chuan had no choice but to persuade: "Niangniang, the minister will definitely cure your phoenix body, you can rest assuredββ"
How did Xu Qing'er not know who Lu Chuan was, she just looked at him deadly, her eyes were pleading and resentful, Lu Chuan had to avoid it and diagnose it carefully.
His fingers trembled slightly, touching Xu Qing'er's almost nothing, Tuoba Chen half-hugged Xu Qing'er in his arms and said urgently: "How is it?" How about the child in the womb of the concubine? β
Lu Chuan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the child, I can't keep it, I need to induce labor quickly, otherwise it will hurt Concubine Shu's life-"
Tuoba Chen's eyes were a little red, like an angry lion, and shouted, "It's just a fall!" How so? You are a miracle doctor, and you are a resident of the Tai Hospital, so you can't do anything? β
Lu Chuan couldn't bear to tell the truth, so he just knelt on the ground and said: "The minister is incompetent, and I ask Your Majesty to allow the minister to induce labor for Concubine Shu-"
Xu Qing'er was sad, tears mixed with sweat stuck to her cheeks and said: "Your Majesty-Your Majesty-it hurts, Qing'er hurts, the queen mother is so vicious, if it weren't for her, the concubine wouldn't be able to-"
She couldn't finish her words a few times in pain, and she could only keep gasping.
Lu Chuan saw that her face was faintly blue, and her lips were purple, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majestyβ"
Tuoba Chen was urged, so he had to say in a deep voice: "Take Concubine Shu to the soft sedan chair, no matter what, save Concubine Shu's life." He slowly sent Xu Qing'er's hand away, but he didn't say a word about the queen.
How willing Xu Qing'er was, she held Tuoba Chen's hand and refused to let go, and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty - is Your Majesty just protecting the queen like this, and ignoring the lives of the concubines and the children in the womb of the concubines?" β
Lan Xin frowned slightly, and also stepped forward to persuade: "Concubine Shu is better to accept the treatment first, for the rest, Your Majesty is aware of everything, if it is really related to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty will definitely give you justice." β
Lan Ruo didn't expect Lan Xin to fall into the well at this time, and said angrily: "What does Concubine Hui mean by this? β
Xu Qing'er finally lost her strength and was carried away, and a doctor stepped forward behind her and said: "Your Majesty, there is no suitable midwife in this honor guard, and the ministers are men, how can this be good?" β
Tuoba Chen only felt that the green tendons on his forehead were beating faintly, and he resisted the urge to kill: "How is it good?" How is it good, you are the Imperial Doctor, now come and ask me! Today, if Concubine Shu has three long and two short, I want you to be buried with you! β
The wrath of the Son of Heaven, thunderous, exploded above everyone's heads, and no one dared to speak for a while, and suddenly heard a firm and weak voice behind him: "I'll come, I'll deliver the lady lady-"
It's He Xi.
Tuoba Chen saw that it was her, his expression eased, and Fuqing hurriedly bowed down and persuaded: "Little master, it is not feasible, this woman has given birth to a child, and the filth is too heavy, you are pregnant now, don't rush the child in your wombββ"
Tuoba Chen obviously didn't want to, he had already lost a child, and he didn't want his other children to have an accident, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can go back to the sedan chair." β
But he didn't want He Xi to kneel straight on the ground and said, "How is it unlucky?" In the future, I will also have to go through it, will I still dislike myself for misunderstanding? Your Majesty, the situation of the lady is dangerous, she-she has lost a child and is already pitiful, she can't get in too, the concubine asks to go in and help the lady deliver the baby-"
Her eyes were full of tears, and the emperor was moved and distressed when he saw it, so he had to say: "It's okay, Lu Chuan is here, and I can rest assured." β
After He Xi heard this, he got up and walked towards the sedan chair that delivered Xu Qing'er.
