Chapter 168: Draw the eyebrows in the mirror
Su Wanrong didn't expect that Concubine Hui Guifei was not suspicious of the queen at all, but she was more energetic than herself, and she was unwilling to let go, and she was already very unhappy in her heart. But when I thought that she was now pregnant with a dragonborn, even if the emperor was here, he would not give her thin noodles, let alone the queen who had never dealt with her.
Taking retreat as advance, Su Wanrong had to think of ways to protect herself, so she knelt down calmly: "Queen Mother, I am in a hurry, and the concubine is selfish and offended you." The concubine is willing to be blamed, and it is up to the mother to fall. ”
Gao Lingxi looked at the pure concubine who was going soft, and still did not relax her vigilance: "The pure concubine looks the same for a while, and she is still righteous and strict and reluctant to let go. Aren't you tired? "What I haven't said explicitly is, don't you feel tired of using so many crooked brains!
"The concubine just doesn't want to let go of the real poisoner. Whether the target is the second elder brother or the dragon fetus in the womb of Concubine Hui, the imperial heir is involved. In the harem, there is no more heinous crime. Su Wanrong burst into tears, and surprise gradually welled up on her cheeks: "The concubine is also a person who is a mother, and this worry is especially worrying, how can I endure it." ”
Chen Jinzhong walked in with his head down, and a thousand children went down before he spoke slowly: "Queen Qiyu, after the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, Concubine Xian has woken up, the emperor invites you to go over and take a look." ”
Lan Xin was upset by Concubine Hui and Concubine Chun, and when she heard what Chen Jinzhong said, she breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up." This is the main palace. ”
Gao Lingxi was a little unwilling, and when she saw that the queen was leaving, she hurriedly followed closely: "Queen Mother, then ...... here"
"I don't think Concubine Chun wants to offend the palace, Fang Cai's matter, and the palace doesn't want to do more investigations. It's just a pure concubine, this time is different from the past, no matter what the reason is, the concubine has to be like the concubine. A few days ago, the temple sent a number of scriptures, which helped people to be in a smooth mood and abandon the effect of impetuous greed. In the coming month, I hope that Concubine Chun will be diligent, copy and organize them one by one, and then transfer them to the rest of the Buddhist temples to benefit all sentient beings. Lan Xin's speech was very fast, and he said this sentence in a crackling voice, sonorous and powerful.
Su Wanrong was a little stunned when she heard it, the queen actually asked her to copy the Buddhist scriptures, ten of them within a month, and she had to compile them into a book and transfer them to the rest of the Buddhist temples. This is nothing more than telling her that although she is not grounded, and there is no restriction on her to visit Yongzhang at the specified time, she can copy the scriptures every day, and she has no leisure to step out of the palace gate.
Abandon impetuousness and greed? It's just a matter of words! Su Wanrong's respectful blessed body thanked her again and again, but there was a cold light at the end of her eyes, and she viciously slashed at Concubine Hui's cheek. But when she raised her head and really looked at Concubine Hui, she didn't let the emotions in her heart affect her words and deeds: "If it benefits the six palaces, where can the Buddhist scriptures compare to Concubine Hui's intentions." ”
Gao Lingxi smiled calmly, walked to the seat unhurriedly, and after sitting firmly, he put on an extremely comfortable posture: "This palace always feels that if you say too much, you will lose, and instead of having the kung fu to chew your tongue here, it is better to hurry back to Zhongcui Palace, prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wait for the scriptures rewarded by the queen mother to arrive, and copy them one by one." You must know that there must be dozens of volumes of the Ten Classics, and it is always very sad to write at the desk from morning to night. ”
didn't hide his contemptuous smile at all, Gao Lingxi didn't like this pure concubine from the bottom of his heart. She even felt that Concubine Chun was more disgusting than Concubine Xian, although she had never really had any conflict with herself.
"It's the same root, so why be in a hurry." Su Wanrong smiled disapprovingly: "How much better can Concubine Hui be than her concubine." On the surface, it seems that the mother is carried by the emperor's personal decree, and even her family members are also included in the flag. And Niangniang, you are now pregnant, which can be described as the limelight. But in fact, the concubine thought that the mother would inevitably walk on thin ice and live a hard life.
The taste of becoming the target of public criticism is naturally uncomfortable, not to mention that Concubine Xian was poisoned because of her mother's relationship. The emperor didn't say anything, but he also knew that Chuxiu Palace must be a place of right and wrong. It's also human nature to be afraid of avoiding it.
Even if the emperor loves you very much, and he can't be by his side all the time, there will always be times when he can't take care of it. So guess that the women in the harem will not be able to tolerate you like the mother who can't tolerate the concubines? ”
Gently picking up the red jujube water at the hand, Gao Lingxi's red lips gently touched the white blue and white porcelain, and the fragrant sweet jujube flavor was very strong, which was exactly the taste she liked. moistened her lips before she spoke, Gao Lingxi's every movement and subtle expression made people look a little fascinated, and it was difficult to hide her unique style.
"Concubine Chun naturally makes sense. But this palace has to give a word of advice, the humility of the harem has long been in the emperor's heart, and you are vainly trying to hit the stone with an egg, in the end it is just harming others and yourself, which is really ridiculous. ”
Su Wanrong obviously didn't expect that Concubine Hui Guifei saw that she was full of resentment towards the queen. Is it really that obvious? But the matter is related to the second elder brother, and the queen can't escape suspicion at all: "Hui Guifei Niangniang, you yourself almost suffered, do you really have no heart for the concubine?" ”
"The emperor's favorite is the second elder brother. And the queen mother is the most nervous, or the second elder brother. You don't want to think about it, if it were you, would you put your children in danger? Or will one day in the future, you know how to regret the loss of your children's future? Gao Lingxi looked at Concubine Chun with some disdain, and didn't bother to quarrel with her over and over again.
"If the palace is today, the pure concubine can put it aside and remember it, and when it really comes, just take it out and taste it." Signaling the palace maid to send it off, Gao Lingxi held the concubine's shelf and looked coldly at the thoughtful pure concubine in front of her: "After saying such a thing, this palace is really tired." Concubine Chun, go, the emperor must have a will for poisoning. ”
"The concubine retired." Su Wanrong was a little afraid to look at Concubine Hui's face, she always thought that what this concubine was holding was just her father's protection, and she had a good skin. But she didn't want to, how could her heart be like her beauty, which could be seen at a glance.
"Bi Lan, send a pure concubine for the palace." Gao Lingxi watched Concubine Chun leave, and then sent the shelf, and gradually disappeared with a somewhat incomprehensible smile on his face.
Lan Xin recounted the things that Emperor Fang found out after leaving, and sat down beside Concubine Xian with peace of mind. Holding the reconciled antidote juice, he fed it to Concubine Xian spoonful by spoonful.
Concubine Xian listened to the queen's words, and did not react at all, but just numbly drank the medicine that was enough to make her nauseous, and endured the nausea desperately, as if she had died once.
"Chen Jinzhong, pass on my will." Hongli lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and said: "Check out the minions in the imperial dining room, up and down the elder brother, and those who have come into contact with the hibiscus jasper cake one by one, and one who does not stay is assigned to Ningguta as a slave, and he will not be allowed to enter Beijing for life." The slave who made this pastry by himself pushed it to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded it to show the public.
During this period, there were suspicious minions, and they were handed over to the Department of Torture and torture to trace the source, and I must find out about this matter. After thinking about it, Hongli asked Lan Xin again: "Is the nurse around Yonglian reliable, if she has a different heart, then I can't rest assured." ”
Lan Xin lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, and couldn't help but say: "The concubine thinks that the nurse is finally reliable, and she is a slave who has been in the palace for a few days." If the emperor is not at ease, the concubine will go over and take a look in person. ”
"It's fine." Hongli took a cold breath: "Fortunately, there is no danger, Concubine Xian is finally fine, otherwise ......" The hatred that flowed faintly in his eyes made the Son of Heaven in front of him rise to a terrifying aura. "The people in the Pure Concubine Palace also have to be carefully questioned, and I will not allow the slightest mistake."
Lan Xin was about to talk about Zhong Cui Palace, and it would be bad for him to ask directly. Hongli said: "Concubine Chun is also the master of the concubine, if the people in her palace can't be governed well, how can she take this position." The queen informed Concubine Chun of my words, and within three days, she would be able to clear the Zhongcui Palace. I don't want the chaos of the harem to be dark. ”
"Yes." Lan Xin put the soup spoon down in the bowl for the time being, and bowed his head slightly towards the emperor, extremely deferential.
When the emperor and queen didn't have anything to say, Pan Yucai hoarsely voiced and said weakly: "Your Majesty, this is Chuxiu Palace, Hui Guifei Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon descendant, and the concubine is sick and crooked, so I really don't dare to bother more." The concubine wanted to return to Chengqian Palace. ”
took his own silk, Lan Xin gently wiped the thin beads of sweat on Concubine Xian's forehead: "It's hard for you to think about others at this time." ”
Hongli nodded in agreement, and his words were gentle: "It's okay, I will let you send you back to the palace with a dragon chariot." Chen Jinzhong, you go and prepare. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Panyu finally squeezed out a reluctant smile, but instead of looking ugly because of her haggard paleness, this smile was very comfortable and comfortable, and at a glance, she knew that her heart was warm and warm.
Gao Lingxi took Bilan's hand, took the graceful steps of a weak willow and a wind, and walked lightly to the back bed. is catching up with the emperor who is holding the concubine, and the queen who is beside him. My heart trembled involuntarily. "Your Majesty, ...... you are"
I wanted to ask, why did you hold Concubine Xian by yourself, but when the words came to your lips, I felt that it was very inappropriate. Gao Lingxi tried her best to hide her unnaturalness, and said worriedly: "Are you going to send Concubine Xian back to the palace?" The concubine also thought that if Concubine Xian stayed in Chuxiu Palace from time to time, it would be very convenient for the concubine to take care of her. ”
"You have a body, it's important to take care of it." Lan Xin smiled and was very considerate of the emperor's thoughts: "Concubine Xian woke up, there was no danger of her life, but she injured her body, so she had to recuperate." So are you. ”
Forcibly suppressing the sourness in his heart, Gao Lingxi nodded gratefully, but at the moment when he looked at the emperor's deep eyes, he felt heartache. "The concubine sends the emperor, the queen." I really wanted to catch up and ask the emperor, why it wasn't Concubine Xian, but it was herself, but Gao Lingxi didn't have such courage.
All she could do was to watch the emperor leave and silently bear the pain of her heart.
