Chapter 88: Dementia and divorce
In Chuxiu Palace, the royal courtyard that returned to the palace from Baifu knelt in the palace, and the upward Emperor Jin Ming and Empress Chen carefully told Shui Qingqing's illness.
Hearing that Shui Qingqing had become a demented idiot due to a head injury, Emperor Jin Ming's expression was abrupt, his eyes were shocked, and his heart ached.
I couldn't help but think of Princess Wu Ning's sudden fire and her appearance was ruined before.
Why, why did Wu Ning and her daughter suffer such a tragedy?
And Empress Chen cried on the spot, tears flowed down like beads of broken threads, and she cried sadly: "Seeing that the marriage between Guan Qing and You'er is here, how could such a thing suddenly happen, so ...... But how is it good? ”
Emperor Jin Ming's heart was cold, and he said coldly: "What else, of course the marriage continues, can you still let You'er not want her because of the county lord's accident?" In this way, isn't Guan Qing even more pitiful? ”
Empress Chen's hands under her sleeves tightened, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Guan Qing is pitiful, and the concubines are also very pitiful to her." Can...... But now that she has become a fool, if she is allowed to marry You'er again, won't our You'er be even more pitiful? He is the only prince of our Great Jin Dynasty, representing the face of the Great Jin, if this is the case...... When it reaches the diplomatic relations of the host country, it will become a joke of the whole world......"
Listening to Empress Chen's words, Emperor Jin Ming's eyes sank, and he said coldly: "But they originally had a marriage contract, and it was given by me personally. ”
Empress Chen didn't expect that even if Shui Qingqing became like this, Emperor Jin Ming was unwilling to take the marriage, her eyes turned around, she wiped her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and cried: "But the emperor also heard from the royal court just now, she doesn't know anything except sleep in Guanjun now, and she doesn't even know who she is...... And the wound on the head has not healed, such a description, how to carry out the wedding the day after tomorrow? The concubines were worried, and they were only afraid that they would marry in the church...... None of those etiquettes can be done...... But what to do? ”
Emperor Jin Ming's heart was covered with a layer of haze, and he was uncomfortable, and said in a muffled voice: "In this case, the wedding the day after tomorrow will be simple-you already owed Wu Ning back then, but now we can no longer owe her daughter!" ”
Emperor Jinming's words made Empress Chen's whole body tremble, and there was a trace of anger in her heart-
She could mention that Princess Wuning saved her back then, but she was taboo to mention it to Emperor Jin Ming.
Because, every time she heard Emperor Jin Ming mention it, she felt that she was not feeling it in her heart, and she felt that he was reminding her that everything she enjoyed now, including that he married her as the crown princess, was given to her by Wu Ning!
Her face was cold for half a minute, and Queen Chen cried sadly: "Yes, everything is the fault of the concubine, if the person who was burned to death was the concubine." In this way, it will not be because the concubine owes Wu Ning that You'er will repay this kindness for me...... He is the prince of the prince, and the big wedding was originally the biggest joy event in our Dajin, but now everything is simple, and he will definitely be laughed at for a lifetime, and he will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life...... It was all the concubines who harmed him, and the concubines really deserved death! ”
"The mourning family is not dead yet, what does the queen say about not dying?"
At this time, the door of the palace was opened, but it was the Queen Mother who came to Chuxiu Palace in person.
Seeing that the queen mother, the savior, finally came, the tense strings in Empress Chen's heart instantly relaxed.
It turned out that Empress Chen guessed that Emperor Jin Ming would not agree to withdraw from the marriage, so when she invited Emperor Jin Ming to come to Chuxiu Palace to discuss the matter of Shui Qingqing, she asked people to quietly invite the empress.
Of course, the Queen Mother supported the divorce, not only because of the royal face, but also because of the retirement of Shui Qingqing and the ascension of her niece and granddaughter Linrou to the throne.
Seeing the queen mother coming, Emperor Jin Ming and the queen hurriedly greeted her. Emperor Jin Ming personally helped the Queen Mother to sit on the warm couch, and said with concern: "As soon as the wet weather arrives in spring, the old illness of the queen mother will be committed, why don't you recuperate in Cining Palace?" If there is anything, just summon the ministers over. ”
The Queen Mother looked at Empress Chen silently, and when she saw the look on her face, she had already guessed that Emperor Jin Ming was unwilling to divorce the Bai family, and couldn't help but say slowly: "It's also boring to stay in the palace all day, and I happened to hear the news of the accident of the county lord of Guanqing, so I wanted to discuss with the queen." It just so happens that you are also there, and the mourning family will burst into words. ”
Empress Chen personally served tea to the Queen Mother and said respectfully: "The Queen Mother is worried about You'er's affairs." It's good for the queen mother to send someone to summon her concubines to Cining Palace, how dare she dare to come forward in person. ”
Taking the tea in Empress Chen's hand, the Queen Mother took a sip slowly, then looked at Emperor Jin Ming, and said slowly: "The mourning family heard the conversation between the emperor and the queen outside the palace. It is a good thing for the emperor to be benevolent and righteous, but as the queen said, this matter is related to You'er's face and happiness for the rest of his life, but you can't impose these on him because of the affairs of your elders, and it is really unfair to him——"
"Moreover, this matter is also about the face of the royal family, and it is also about the continuation of the incense of the imperial heir, but it cannot be repaid for the favor and let the royal heir have problems."
Therefore, in this marriage, the mourning family felt that it was not appropriate not to get married, so they withdrew as soon as possible while they were not married. We can compensate her in other ways. ”
As soon as the Queen Mother said this, Queen Chen couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief, and helped the Queen Mother persuade together: "Moreover, You'er is the prince, and there are groups of wives and concubines in the queen house, with the current situation of Guanqing, even if she marries into the palace, it is not a good thing for her." You'er is busy with political affairs, so she must not be able to guard her all the time, and if she is bullied, she will not know. It's better to let her recuperate in a quiet place and send someone to take care of her. ”
The Queen Mother also nodded, "The queen is right, where there are women, there is something wrong, she can't protect herself, and she is not suitable for living in such an environment at all." So please think twice! ”
Empress Chen and the Queen Mother sang together to persuade Emperor Jin Ming to withdraw from the marriage. Emperor Jin Ming, who was depressed in his heart, walked to the window unconsciously, raised his eyes and looked at the flowers and trees blooming outside the window in a daze, and couldn't help but think of the last time he was in the imperial garden, he saw Shui Qingqing quietly hiding behind the tree, watching Mei Zijin cry.
At that time, she had confessed to him that the person she liked in her heart was Mei Zijin, not Li You, and even begged him to dissolve the marriage contract......
Emperor Jin Ming was stunned, was it right or wrong for him to refuse her request that day?
couldn't help but think of Princess Wuning again, thinking of her tragic life, his heart ached again.
The next moment, he said in a muffled voice: "Tomorrow, I will go to Baifu to see her in person, and then make a decision......
Hearing that Emperor Jin Ming finally relented, Empress Chen finally put her mind at ease, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Guan Qing is the niece of the concubine, and the concubine is really worried about her, tomorrow the concubine will accompany the emperor out of the palace to see her!" ”
Emperor Ming of Jin personally sent the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace, and Empress Chen leaned on the beauty couch, seemingly closing her eyes to recuperate, but she was worried that if she went to Baifu tomorrow, a new accident would come out.
Intuitively, she always felt that Emperor Jin Ming would not take the marriage between Shui Qingqing and You'er as she wished.
Looking at her frowning brows, Red Sleeves helped her gently beat her legs with a jade hammer, and whispered: "Niangniang, the county lord has become a fool as Niangniang wishes, and the Queen Mother has also personally come forward to let the emperor withdraw from the marriage, what else does Niangniang have to worry about?" ”
Empress Chen sighed heavily, and said coldly: "You don't know, the emperor loves the house and Wu, and the palace is afraid that after he sees the county lord's stupid and stupid appearance, not only will he not dislike it, but he will sympathize with her more and pity her." What should I do if I refuse to withdraw from the marriage at that time? ”
Hearing Queen Chen's worries, the red sleeves made a move in his hand, and said angrily: "But our Royal Highness, Zhong Lingyuxiu, the proud son of the sky, will be the king of a country in the future, how can you marry a stupid and stupid woman to be a concubine!?" In fact, if the Bai family was self-aware, they would have taken the initiative to withdraw from the marriage as early as when they recognized this concubine. After all, she has not only been a Chongxi lady, but she has also married someone before, how can such a person marry our Highness again? ”
Empress Chen's heart was cold, and she said coldly: "It's a pity, that Bai Haoqing is ambitious and wants to be the ruler of the country." Therefore, if you want the Bai family to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, I am afraid that it is impossible. Otherwise, why would this palace need to spend so much elaboration. ”
As soon as Empress Chen's words fell, at this moment, a little palace maid quietly came in from outside the hall and respectfully handed over something to the hands of the red sleeves. ”
Hearing this, Empress Chen suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the secret letter from the red sleeves' hand, first wrinkled her brows, but then smiled happily.
"This white face is really dying, and at this time he still wants to marry this palace - but this time, this palace is willing."
Red Sleeves looked puzzled, and was about to speak, but Queen Chen had already instructed her: "After dark, you go out of the palace in person, quietly go to Baifu, and tell Bai Haoqing that the palace can allow the three daughters of the Bai family to have a side concubine, but there is one condition - tomorrow, when he goes out of the palace to Baifu, they Baifu will take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage between the county lord and You'er." In this way, the emperor will have nothing to say. ”
Red Sleeves instantly understood, and said happily: "Congratulations to Niangniang for fulfilling her wish!" ”
At this time, the palace people came to report that the third palace had come down.
Li You came in with a cold face, Empress Chen carefully coveted his expression, and when she saw his tightly knit brows, her heart was already clear, and she said softly: "Have you ever been to Baifu to see Guanqing?" Her illness...... Is it getting better? ”
Li You sighed and said, "Now, she doesn't even know who she is......
With joy in her heart, Queen Chen was about to speak, Li You raised her eyes and looked at her quietly, and said slowly, word by word: "She has become what she is now, is the queen mother very happy?" ”
Empress Chen's heart was shocked, and her face was angry and shocked: "You...... What do you mean by that? ”
Li You's eyes were slightly cold, and she hooked her lips and sneered: "Hasn't the queen mother always been dissatisfied with this marriage." The last time she came to the palace, the queen mother deliberately praised Lin Rou in front of her, and deliberately asked her about the old things when she was in exile, didn't she want to embarrass her? ”
Empress Chen's face sank, her tone was cold, and she said coldly: "You think too much, the queen mother is her own aunt, how can she help outsiders embarrass her?" It's just some casual words when chatting, and you have so much thought about it......"
Li You hooked his lips and smiled coldly, his eyes swept over the tea set handed over by the palace people, and sneered: "Erchen remembers that the queen mother has a set of mutton fat jade tea sets here before, and Guan Qing used it last time she came. Since then, the son has never seen the queen mother use it - if the queen mother dislikes it and doesn't want to use it, why don't you reward the son and daughter, what a pity for the palace people to throw it away! ”
It turned out that the last time Empress Chen asked the palace people to throw away the tea set used by Shui Qingqing, she happened to be heard by Li You, who returned to Chuxiu Palace.
From this matter, Li You finally felt the queen mother's deep dislike for Shui Qingqing, so he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart about Shui Qingqing's condition suddenly becoming so serious this time.
"So, did my mother already know that she would become what she is now, so she never gave up matching her sons with Lord Linrou?"
Empress Chen's expression changed greatly, her eyes looked at her son in disbelief, she gritted her teeth to suppress the panic in her heart, so she said in an angry trembling voice: "What are you talking about?" What kind of person do you think of the queen mother as? The queen mother has a lot of complaints about Guan Qing, but she won't really hurt her...... In any case, she is the only child of Wu Ning's sister, how could the queen mother do such a thing to her own niece......"
After speaking, Empress Chen trembled with anger, and Red Sleeves hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Your Highness, how can you doubt Niangniang?" That set of teacups was thrown away because the palace people accidentally broke them when they were cleaning up......"
Li You waved his hand to interrupt Red Sleeves' explanation, now, things have evolved into the current situation, even if everything is really done by his mother, he will not care.
So, that's not what he's worried about now.
Looking at Queen Chen, Li You said helplessly: "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't mean to blame the Queen Mother, Erchen is just worried, Bai Xiang has always been unstable, if the marriage contract with Bai Fu is dissolved at this time, I am afraid that Bai Xiang will be annoyed and ashamed, and he will vote into the camp of the four emperor brothers - and if he loses the support of Bai Xiang, and there is still the Marquis of Dingguo, even if the Erchen has the support of the Queen Mother's family, I am afraid that there is no full chance of winning." ”
Listening to Li You's words, Empress Chen's worries were suddenly put down, and her face instantly became the soft appearance she had before, and she smiled proudly: "This matter is simple. As far as the queen mother knows, the Bai family has more than one daughter in Guanqing, and there is also a third daughter Bai Lingxuan in the boudoir. Although it is not a concubine, I can't be your concubine, but you can marry her as your side concubine, in this way, we and the Bai family still have a relationship of in-laws, and Bai Xiang will naturally serve you——"
"As for the Marquis of Dingguo, heh, this battle is not sure when it will end. After you confirm your marriage to Lin Rou, the Queen Mother and the ministers will open their mouths to propose to your father that you be made the crown prince. Therefore, maybe when he returns to Beijing, everything will be decided, and he will naturally have nothing to do with him. ”
Empress Chen's words finally let go of the last trace of worry in Li You's heart, and she also completely let go of Shui Qingqing in her heart......
After the Yang family sent a secret letter to Empress Chen, both the Yang family and Bai Haoqing began to wait nervously for the queen's reply.
After the secret letter was sent to the palace in the afternoon, it waited until after sunset in the evening, and finally waited for the queen's cronies Red Sleeves.
When Bai Haoqing learned that Empress Chen was willing to allow her third daughter to be a 'side concubine', the lack in her heart was instantly filled and she rejoiced again.
Although the side concubine is not the main concubine, Bai Lingxuan has an innocent background and can still have children, and her future is definitely brighter than that of Shui Qingqing, who is rebellious and can no longer have children.
Therefore, after hearing Queen Chen's request, Bai Haoqing immediately readily agreed.
As soon as the red sleeves left, Bai Haoqing immediately personally led the Yang family back to the west courtyard of the Evergreen Academy, and summoned the house doctor to treat her well, and the others also began to see the wind and rudder to tie up the Yang family and the Ning family, and no one still remembered Shui Qingqing, who was sick on the bed alone......
From the hustle and bustle in the bustle to the loneliness and loneliness, for Shui Qingqing today, there is no difference at all.
Sheng Fang came in from outside, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, and the bowl of medicine contained a dark soup.
After entering the door, Sheng Fang looked at Shui Qingqing, who was sitting on the bed alone, thinking about the news he had received, and sighed with pity for her in his heart.
Sheng Fang no longer handed the medicine bowl to Shui Qingqing as usual, but put the medicine bowl on the table on the side and stepped forward
He whispered to Shui Qingqing: "County Lord, I'm offended." ”
With that, he took a silver needle and plunged it into her fingertips, letting the sharp pain awaken her last remaining bbit of consciousness.
After dementia, Shui Qingqing reacted very slowly, watching the silver needle pierce her fingers, and she couldn't hide. Just stared at Sheng Fang with ignorant eyes and looked at Sheng Fang in fear.
Sheng Fang ignored her ignorant eyes, he held back the grief in his heart, and said softly: "County Lord, the lower official has something to tell you, so I have to find a way to make you sober up for a while." ”
With trembling hands, Sheng Fang put silver needles on the other four fingers of Shui Qingqing's right hand.
The severe pain made Shui Qingqing's whole body tremble, and her chaotic mind had a moment of clarity.
Seeing that her eyes became a little brighter, Sheng Fang hurriedly said: "County Lord, the lower official just helped you find out, and Bai Xiang is ready to personally help you divorce the Third Highness." ”
Shui Qingqing was stunned for a long time, and then smiled weakly for a long time: "Is Bai Xiang finally willing to let go?" ”
In fact, although the medicine given by Empress Chen to Shui Qingqing was very fierce, because it was only three or four days, it was not enough to completely devour Shui Qingqing's sanity, so that she still retained a small half of her sobriety, but she had to rely on the stimulating pain to wake up this small moment of sobriety.
Sheng Fang sighed and said: "Bai Xiang didn't let go, but made an exchange, replacing the county lord with the third lady of the Bai family, and she married the third highness as a side concubine." ”
Shui Qingqing, who was ignorant in her brain, didn't reflect who the third lady of the Bai family was for a long time, and she couldn't turn the relationship between them, frowning and looking at Sheng Fang.
Looking at her incomprehensible appearance, and then thinking about her previous cleverness and intelligence, Sheng Fang couldn't bear it and couldn't help but shed tears.
He patiently explained: "That is, the county lord no longer needs to marry the third highness, and the county lord's sister, Bai Lingxuan, the third lady of the Bai family, will marry the third highness as a side concubine." ”
Saying this, Shui Qingqing finally understood, and nodded with a smile, "That's good!" ”
Sheng Fang looked at the medicine on the table in embarrassment, and hesitated: "Then this medicine, can the county lord stop drinking it?" ”
As soon as she heard Sheng Fang mention the medicine, Shui Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she rushed to the ground barefoot, looking at the medicine on the table greedily and eagerly, and the next moment, she had already picked up the medicine bowl and poured it into her mouth, and drank the medicine in one go.
Sheng Fang followed behind her, and wanted to stop her, but she knew that now she was infected with A Furong's drug addiction, and although her mind was still sober, her body was out of control......
Thinking of this, Sheng Fang couldn't help but feel sad again, but thinking of her advice to herself when she was completely awake before taking the medicine, she didn't say anything more, and after helping her inspect the scabbed wound, she instructed the two maids outside the door to take good care of Shui Qingqing, and went out of the house by herself......
Sheng Fang, who left Baifu, did not directly because of his own home, but after carefully making sure that there was no one behind him, according to the address Shui Qingqing gave him earlier, he went to Suzaku Lane in the dark......
After taking the medicine, Shui Qingqing's spirit was very excited, and there were many beautiful hallucinations in her mind, including Yun'er, Mei Zijin, and her mother and adoptive father...... They were all by her side, so happy and happy.
She sat up from the bed, came to the window in a daze, looked at the vast starry sky outside, her mind was messy, but the joy in her heart made her giggle happily......
The two maids outside the door couldn't help but roll their eyes when they looked at Shui Qingqing who was lying on the window looking at the stars and moon with a smirk on her face.
One of them said impatiently: "Since the eldest lady has become stupid, every time she drinks the medicine, she has to be excited for a long time, and we can't sleep because of the toss, and now the master doesn't care about her, let's go down and rest." Anyway, from today onwards, this main courtyard will be the same as before, and no one will set foot in it. ”
The other maid was moved, seeing that it was getting late, she no longer bothered with Shui Qingqing, and the two secretly went to sleep in the next room.
Soon after the two maids entered the house, a man in black quietly appeared in the main courtyard.
The person who came was a nameless person who hadn't been seen for a few days!
It turned out that after Shui Qingqing made up her mind to follow Queen Chen's framing and cancel her marriage with Li You, she told Sheng Fang some things to do in the future, including asking Sheng Fang to find Nameless, so that after he successfully broke off the marriage contract with Li You, he would put the poison of cold paralysis on himself, and also wrote the method of detoxification, so that Sheng Fang would be handed over to Nameless.
Because, although Shui Qingqing can relieve the poison of cold paralysis, he will not make poison, and Nameless will just poison it.
Last time I said goodbye to the lower room, except for Mei Zijin's departure on the day of the expedition, Nameless went out of the city gate on the day of Mei Zijin's expedition, and spent the rest of the time in the blacksmith shop to recuperate, plus waiting for Shui Qingqing's news.
Shui Qingqing had agreed with him before that before she got married, she would come to pick up Yun'er.
can see that there is still the last day left on the ninth day of the second month of February when she got married, but the nameless has not waited for Shui Qingqing's figure.
In his heart, Nameless was looking forward to Shui Qingqing coming to him, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to let her take Yun'er away, because in this way, it meant that it would be difficult for him to see her again......
The tangled Nameless was about to quietly go to Baifu to find her tonight, but suddenly heard a knock at the back door.
At that moment, he and the Liu brothers and sisters thought that Shui Qingqing was coming, and when he excitedly went to open the door in person, he saw that it was Sheng Fang who was standing outside the door.
As soon as Sheng Fang met, he handed over the letter written by Shui Qingqing to Nameless.
After Nameless finished reading the letter, the whole person was shocked. I couldn't believe everything written in the letter, and I couldn't believe that she was willing to do such a thing to hurt herself in order to cancel this family business......
In this way, Nameless, who knew Shui Qingqing's situation, couldn't sit still anymore, and told the Liu brothers and sisters to take good care of Yun'er, and immediately set off to Baifu to find Shui Qingqing......
When Nameless sneaked into the White Mansion and came to the main courtyard, looking at Shui Qingqing lying alone in front of the window, smirking at the night sky, Nameless's heart hurt as if he was pricked with a needle.
He entered the house and stood behind her for a long time, unnoticed.
And on the desktop in her hand, there was faint handwriting written with water stains.
Yun'er ...... Mei Zijin ...... Yun'er ...... Mei Zijin ......
Looking at Mei Zijin's name above, Nameless's heart suddenly tightened, his body staggered back, and he was almost unsteady on his feet......
