Chapter 592: Son of the Devil
Mrs. Shen was a little surprised to see her arm being grabbed by her son: "Wei'er? ”
Shen Wei's face remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he showed the same gentle smile as before: "Mother, it's not early, you've been busy all morning, why don't you go back and rest first?" ”
Mrs. Shen patted Shen Wei's hand and said with a smile: "I sat with Erniang for a morning and rested all the time." I'll go see her again. ”
Shen Wei didn't let go, Mrs. Shen was feeling a little strange, but Shen Wei lowered her head slightly as if she was a little embarrassed and said, "Mother, since the child has returned, I'll guard it." ”
Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Wei's expression as if she remembered something, and suddenly smiled, and her eyes were a little playful: "You kid...... Okay, okay, my mother will go first, you go and guard. ”
The maids next to them also laughed.
Shen Wei knew that they had misunderstood, but he didn't defend himself, and deliberately showed some embarrassed looks. Mrs. Shen was afraid that she would really be ashamed of her son here, so she couldn't help but smile and left with the maids.
Shen Wei saw that Mrs. Shen's figure disappeared at the Moon Cave Gate in front of him, and all the expressions on his face instantly faded. He turned his head to look at his courtyard, his eyes dark. I stood there for a while before walking to the main room.
When he reached the door, there was a cracking sound of porcelain cracking in the hidden door. Shen Wei paused, then stretched out his hand and pushed open the door and walked in.
Today's weather is good, the warm spring sun shines through the south window lattice, casting a long shadow of flowers on the ground, and the house is very large. Therefore, the Babu bed placed on the north side is not illuminated by the sun, it is obviously a room, but it gives people the feeling of two worlds.
Half of Erniang's body was lying on the floor outside the bed, and her feet were trying to move out. The small one placed next to the bed was crooked, and a pastel bowl on top of it was broken. She tried to climb out, but she collapsed to the ground.
I heard someone push the door in. Erniang suddenly raised her eyes to look over, but she saw a white embroidered bamboo dark pattern on the corner of her clothes, the man walked over calmly, stopped in front of her, and finally she could only see a pair of brocade boots stopped in front of her.
"Save ...... Save...... Help, me. Erniang's voice was fragmented, as if someone had stuck her throat. But he struggled to tighten the corner of his clothes.
Shen Wei sighed lightly, leaned down and helped Erniang up. This is the closest he has ever come to Erniang, although he felt a little repulsed, he still got someone on the bed and helped her cover the quilt.
Erniang is already colorless. His face kept twitching, and his hand tightened the corner of Shen Wei's clothes.
Shen Wei rolled her eyelids, looked at her face again, and said lightly: "You can't die for a while, you are scaring yourself." ”
The medicine given to Erniang in the palace is considered a chronic medicine, not only will there be nothing in a few hours, but it will also make people return to the light, Erniang's appearance is completely frightened.
After a while. Erniang seemed to have listened to it, and seemed to be tired of tossing, and finally quieted down a lot, leaving only the sound of heavy and rapid breathing.
Shen Wei let Erniang pull the corner of his clothes, and he sat on the edge of the bed, but his eyes did not look at the person on the bed. He just frowned and looked at the mottled light and shadow under the south window, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was thinking about nothing.
It wasn't until Erniang's strength in tugging at the corners of his clothes softened that he seemed to come back to his senses and turned his head to look at the person on the bed. Erniang's gaze also stayed on his side face, as if she was a little dazed.
"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Shen Wei's voice sounded in the room, as gentle as ever. It's just that this gentleness is cruel.
Erniang looked at him for a long time, and finally seemed to want to say something, but when she spoke, she suddenly frowned and curled up in pain.
Shen Wei frowned slightly, and when he saw Erniang holding his belly, he was suddenly stunned, and after thinking about it, he still got up and went out to call someone.
So when it was almost noon, everyone in the Shen family knew that the young lady of the Shen family suddenly had an early seizure, and there seemed to be signs of premature birth.
Mrs. Shen was shocked when she got the news, but fortunately, she had already prepared manpower, so she was not in a hurry.
"How can it happen early? Did you just say something that her off? Mrs. Shen was very nervous when she heard a loud scream inside, and couldn't help but blame Shen Wei.
Shen Wei frowned and didn't speak, Mrs. Shen thought that he was also worried, so she couldn't bear to scold him anymore. In the end, I was really worried and wanted to enter the delivery room, but was stopped by Shen Wei.
"Mother, who else can take care of you when you go in? There are so many people in there, you can't help if you go in, it's better to dispatch people outside. ”
Mrs. Shen was finally persuaded.
After coming over for a long time, the people inside no longer had the strength to scream, but the housekeeper in the outer courtyard led two mothers-in-law over.
"What is this?" Mrs. Shen looked at the two mothers-in-law, and then looked at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper glanced at Shen Wei.
Shen Wei said softly to Mrs. Shen: "Mother, this is the midwife I asked the queen mother to help me find before. Didn't it just say that Erniang's baby was a little difficult? Let them take care of it. ”
Erniang was born prematurely this time, and the fetus was a little big, and the mother-in-law who delivered the baby was afraid that something would not be easy to explain, so she said that the situation was very serious in advance, so as not to trouble them when something happened. Shen Wei naturally knew their thoughts, and he didn't break it, and he used this reason to find someone else.
"When did you ask the queen for someone, why don't I know?" Mrs. Shen glanced at the two of them, and saw that the two of them looked very calm, and they really seemed to have some skills.
Shen Wei glanced at the two mothers-in-law and said to Mrs. Shen: "Just a few days ago, I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't say anything. ”
The two mothers-in-law had already gone in the direction of the delivery room, and Mrs. Shen didn't pay much attention to it.
It's just that Mrs. Shen didn't know that the two mothers-in-law were in control of the situation as soon as they entered, because the situation of Erniang was really not very good at this time, so no one rushed to grab this merit with the two of them, but happily fought on the side.
It may be that these two mothers-in-law really have two brushes, and it won't be long before that. Erniang's voice gradually became louder again. Seeing that the situation had improved, the two mothers-in-law moved out of the way and let the original midwives come forward.
Mrs. Shen and Shen Wei both sat outside and guarded, and two more hours passed. Hearing that the situation inside was gradually stabilizing, Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly. The sound in the room seemed to be cut off by something, and it was quiet in an instant, and Sanniang's crying of pain and the cheering voices of the mother-in-law one after another seemed to be swallowed up by something.
This eerie silence startled Mrs. Shen. Hurriedly stood up and said in a panic: "What's wrong?" Something happened. ”
There seemed to be a sound in the room suddenly, but it was the sound of everyone being a little flustered, and Mrs. Shen even heard the sound of the copper basin falling to the ground, and she couldn't help but feel frightened and almost unsteady. Fortunately, Shen Wei also got up and helped Mrs. Shen up.
Shen Wei's eyes also looked at the door of the delivery room. But there is no emotion.
After a while, there was the sound of stumbling footsteps rushing towards the door, mixed with a somewhat panicked voice: "No, it's not good, young lady, she." She was out of breath. ”
"The young lady went, but the child was not born."
Then there was the miserable cry of the mothers-in-law.
Mrs. Shen's eyes darkened, and she fell softly into Shen Wei's arms.
"Mother-" Shen Wei's voice finally brought some anxiety, and he helped Mrs. Shen to the chair and pressed her person. Mrs. Shen woke up and heard the crying of a courtyard, and finally couldn't help crying too.
"How so, how can this be? Erniang...... Child...... It's all gone? ”
Shen Wei hurriedly bowed his head to comfort her.
Mrs. Shen insisted on going into the delivery room to see Erniang, but she didn't listen to any persuasion. Shen Wei was helpless. I had to help her go over there. I just walked to the door, but there was a baby's cry inside.
Mrs. Shen's body stiffened, paused, and turned her head to look at Shen Wei: "Wei'er...... This...... It's ......"
At this time, another person came out of the delivery room, but it was one of the mother-in-law that Shen Wei later called into the house, and her face was sweaty. But it's still calm.
"Madam, young master. The young lady gave birth after she was angry, and she was a little young master. ”
Mrs. Shen was stunned for a long time and didn't react, but the mothers-in-law and maids in the courtyard were quiet.
Some people looked at the familiar people and exchanged glances, with a look of horror and uneasiness.
Shen Wei took advantage of the situation and helped the stunned Mrs. Shen out, he turned his head and calmly instructed the mother-in-law: "Deal with it inside." ”
The mother-in-law glanced at Shen Wei, bowed her head and said yes, and then entered the delivery room again.
Mrs. Shen finally relieved herself, and suddenly tightened Shen Wei's arm: "Wei'er, child, child, child......" Her eyes drifted to the delivery room, and there was still the cry of a baby inside.
Shen Wei looked at Mrs. Shen and said softly: "Mother, Erniang, she gave birth to a child desperately. ”
Mrs. Shen's tears came out at once: "Then, that Erniang ......"
Shen Wei glanced behind him, and after a while, a child wrapped in bright red swaddling clothes was carried out. Shen Wei said: "Mother, Erniang's affairs will be handled by me, and you will watch the child." ”
Mrs. Shen came back to her senses, and immediately reached out to take the child, looking at the wrinkled little baby, Mrs. Shen's face was full of pity, although she was still sad about Erniang's matter, but she also endured it.
Shen Wei saw that Mrs. Shen had eased up, so he said, "Mother, can you take the child to your yard?" Don't let him stay here. ”
Mrs. Shen wanted to say something, but when she saw Shen Wei's insistent eyes, she looked at the baby in her arms again, and finally left with the child in her arms.
Shen Wei asked the housekeeper to invite all the idlers out, and then walked to the delivery room.
The two mothers-in-law in the delivery room were dealing with the scene in an orderly manner, Erniang was lying on the bed with her legs long, and there were large patches of blood under her, even on the ground.
When the two mothers-in-law saw Shen Wei coming in, they hurriedly came over to salute, Shen Wei nodded, and said lightly: "Deal with it well." ”
The mother-in-law responded, Shen Wei glanced at Erniang, Erniang's eyes were wide open, her face was distorted, and her face was a little abnormally bruised, which looked very terrifying.
Shen Wei's face was indifferent, he stepped forward and reached out to help Erniang close her eyes, and covered her with a quilt.
Regarding Erniang's death, Shen Wei didn't have much feeling. She took poison and was dying. It's just that Shen Wei remembered the tragic death of Mrs. Shen in the previous life, and couldn't bear to make his mother sad and sad again, so he thought of letting the two mothers-in-law use some secret methods.
Eventually, the child was born. And it was born after Erniang's death. Shen Wei did that, and left the delivery room without looking back.
The emperor went to the Empress's Fengxu Palace that night, and he had just received news from the Shen Mansion.
When she walked to the queen's palace, the queen sat on the phoenix couch in a daze. I don't know what I'm thinking. Because the emperor did not let people report, she did not come back to her senses until the emperor walked up to her and sat down.
"Your Majesty." The queen was a beat slower when she got up. The voice was a little hoarse.
The emperor waved his hand and let the people waiting on the side retreat: "You have received news from the Shen Mansion?" ”
The queen pursed her lips and turned pale: "The concubine will let people go to the Shen Mansion tomorrow." ”
The emperor glanced at the empress, but said, "No need. ”
The queen raised her head and met the emperor's dark eyes. The emperor's voice was light and light: "I heard that it was born after death, so it can't be killed." ”
The queen frowned when she heard this: "But that kid he ......" He is not the blood and blood of the Shen family.
"It's not that the queen doesn't know that the 'son of the ghost' can't be killed, right?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Empress.
Folklore has it that when a person dies and then gives birth to a child, it is called "the son of a ghost". If such a child had not died young. This life will be either full of disasters or great blessings. Because he was born with the breath of the underworld, his life is very hard, and if anyone kills him, he will cut off his children and grandchildren.
Although this is just folklore, the emperor believes it or not. Won't do anything to that kid. But the child's life had nothing to do with what he had to do. It's the same whether you die or not.
The queen didn't want to keep this child, Erniang was poisoned by her, and she originally wanted to have one corpse and two lives and one hundred, but she didn't want to let the child stay. But she couldn't say anything about this matter, so she was naturally aggrieved.
The emperor was in a good mood, and he left after talking for a while in Fengxu Palace, but he was not in a hurry to go back to approve the folds, but went to Yichun Palace.
Wei Concubine's delivery period is only more than a month. Her belly is relatively large, and the imperial doctor was afraid that she would have difficulty giving birth at that time, so he arranged two female officials to help her massage the acupuncture points and smooth the fetal position. At this time, Wei Concubine was receiving massage in the room, so naturally she couldn't get up and come out to welcome the emperor.
So when the emperor arrived at Yichun Palace, he saw Yingge sitting under the lamp in the outer room embroidering something. Seeing the emperor walking in, Yingge immediately got up and saluted, and the emperor raised his hand to let her up.
"The mother is still in the room." Yingge said softly.
The emperor nodded: "I know, I just walk everywhere." There is no need to alarm Wei Concubine. Yingge hurriedly asked people to bring the tea that the emperor was accustomed to drinking.
The emperor glanced at the embroidery work that Yingge casually put in the embroidery basket, and saw that it was a carmine upper: "This is made for Wei Concubine?" ”
Yingge glanced at the emperor: "This embroidery is almost finished." She thought of what the emperor said to let her make soft boots, and she naturally couldn't hide this matter from Concubine Wei, but Concubine Wei's attitude was ......
Yingge thought about how to tell the emperor about this, but the emperor said: "Do it again during the day, beware of burning your eyes." ”
The Emperor's voice was flat, and there was nothing particularly concerned about people.
Yingge lowered her head and answered "yes", and suddenly she said like a ghost: "The emperor is in a good mood today?" ”
After finishing speaking, she raised her head to meet the burning gaze of the emperor looking at her, Yingge's face turned red, and she was a little at a loss.
The emperor was about to speak, but Wei Concubine's voice came from inside: "Is the emperor coming up?" ”
The emperor glanced at Yingge and smiled at her for the first time. Then he turned and went inside.
Yingge looked at the emperor's back, and her heart was pounding.
The emperor has always been gentle in the harem, and he is not stingy with his smile, and in general, he is considered an emperor with a gentle temper and rarely gets angry, and is very easy to serve.
It's just that Yingge noticed that the emperor's smile just now was different from the one that always hung on her lips on weekdays, but she couldn't tell what was the difference.
She was a little stunned, but a palace maid came out of it and said to her: "Niangniang said that she wants to eat a bowl of milk soup and let Sister Yingge do it." ”
Yingge bowed her head and answered, her face remained unchanged, and she went out without staying for a moment. The palace maid watched her back disappear into the doorway, slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, and turned to go in again.
Yingge left the brightly lit main hall, turned her head and glanced into the inner room, and saw the smile on the palace maid's face, and couldn't help frowning.
This palace maid was newly promoted by Concubine Wei a few days ago. Originally, some of the work she served personally was handed over to this palace maid called Yan'er. Wei Concubine was still kind to her, but she felt Wei Concubine's defense.
And Concubine Wei has always used Yan'er to suppress her recently, which has made her relationship in Yichun Palace tense.
Suddenly, a small figure came out from the side: "Sister Yingge, what are you doing standing here?" ”
Yingge saw clearly that it was the time when he had been following his pendant. Relieved, he couldn't help but gently tap her head: "What do you look like!" Do you still want to be beaten by your sister Yan'er? “
Shen'er said a little aggrievedly: "Yan'er is so fierce, Shen'er doesn't like her." Sister Yingge is the best. And teach me how to do it. “
Yingge sighed lightly, pulled the little palace maid to the kitchen, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, although Yan'er is a little stricter, she is also teaching you the rules." Teach you to make milk custard today, you have to learn hard" but I know in my heart that Shen'er was taught by Yan'er because of her.
The emperor over there saw that Wei Yue'e sent the palace maid out and scolded Yingge away. Quietly bowed his head and drank tea, as if he was unaware. Wei Yue'e carefully observed the emperor's face, and really couldn't see that he was half displeased, so she talked to him for a while, mostly around the child in her belly.
She knew that the emperor valued the baby in her womb. So every time he talked about children, the emperor's face would be very gentle. Sure enough, the emperor cared for her very gently.
Wei Yue'e saw that the atmosphere was just right, so she asked Yan'er to bring over an embroidered basket she had placed on the couch, and she found out an azure upper that was less than half embroidered from it and said, "Your Majesty, do you like this color?" ”
The emperor's eyes moved to the upper of her hand, although it was only embroidered a little, but it could still be seen that the embroidery was good. The emperor didn't answer immediately, the smile on his face faded, and he glanced at Wei Yue'e with dark eyes. There was not the slightest hint of anger. It wasn't necessarily too cold, but it made Wei Yue'e tremble a little in her heart.
"Emperor, Your Majesty ......" Wei Yue'e was a little frightened. She has been living so well this time, the palace is holding it up and down, the emperor's temper is good, and he treats her gently. made her almost forget that the man in front of her was not the so-called husband she thought he was, but the king of a country that ruled the world.
The emperor ignored Wei Yue'e's trembling and aggrieved face, but instead glanced at the palace maid Yan'er who was standing aside in fear. Suddenly smiled at her and beckoned, Yan'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately walked over cautiously.
"What's your name?" The Emperor's voice was gentle and authentic.
"Back to the emperor, slave Yan'er." Yan'er's voice was a little nervous, and there was some irrepressible excitement.
"Well, I remember you. At noon, you're the one who cooks on the side, right? ”
"Yes, it's a slave."
The emperor smiled slightly: "I look at the purse on your body is very good-looking, I embroidered it myself?" ”
Yan'er glanced down at her waist, wearing a pink purse embroidered with a magpie Dengmei pattern, Yan'er nodded a little shyly: "It was embroidered by the slave maid herself." ”
The emperor smiled and stroked the teacup: "Well, then would you like to make two pairs of shoes for me?" ”
Yan'er looked up in surprise, at this time, where could she still care about Wei Yue's face on the side, and hurriedly said, "The slave is willing." ”
The emperor was satisfied, tore off a tourmaline waist ornament from his waist, and threw it into Yan'er's hand: "This reward you." “
The geese were busy kowtowing to thank you.
The emperor put down the tea bowl in his hand, got up and flicked the hem of his clothes: "I still have something to deal with, Wei Concubine should rest early." His voice was still gentle, but it made Wei Yue'e feel cold.
So the emperor said and walked out, not staying for a moment.
When I walked to the door, I happened to meet Yingge who walked in with a tray, and Yingge lowered her head and avoided the side. The Emperor's footsteps paused slightly, and then passed by her.
