Chapter 411: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Wen Qing still stiffened: "Send it, send it back to Shilang Mansion." ”
Concubine Ji snorted coldly: "Send it back to the Shilang Mansion?" Your child has smallpox, and you send him back? The palace said that it was going to be handed over to Meng Shilang to take away, why did you stop it in every way? ”
Wen Qing choked for a while: "Yes, I am afraid of infecting the masters." ”
"I'm afraid you want to hurt this kid directly, right?" Concubine Ji's voice was not loud, but it was word by word, which was shocking.
"Don't dare, even if you lend a slave a hundred guts, the slave will never dare." Wen Qing begged repeatedly.
The concubines behind him were even more talking, and their faces were full of horror.
Smallpox, a terrifying disease, is a terrible disease that everyone is in danger of, how can they not be afraid?
Concubine Ji snorted lightly: "It's a big matter, without further ado, this matter can't be hidden, and I need to return it to the emperor and the queen mother as soon as possible." ”
Immediately, a servant took the order and rushed forward to give a message.
Concubine Fu ordered again: "What about the imperial doctor who diagnosed the child?" Why hide it and don't report it, and take it down and ask for the guilt! ”
Concubine Ji is in the harem and has absolute authority, and the palace people immediately received the order and went to the hospital to ask for the guilt.
When Xia Zixian received the news and wanted to take action to make up for it, the imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital had already been taken to the emperor by the concubine, and she confessed to coercing and luring her not to divulge herself.
Some people in the palace were panicked for a while, and all the palaces began to be thoroughly cleaned and boiled medicine to prevent it.
This tense and oppressive atmosphere directly infected the emperor.
He sat in the concubine's bedroom, hung a curtain in front of him, listened to the confession of the imperial doctor, and then interrogated Wen Qing.
Wen Qing naturally didn't dare to admit that Xia Zixian ordered him to change the tank for the prince, but gritted his teeth and said that he wanted to send the child back to the Meng family.
He was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
The Emperor ordered him to be dragged down.
Concubine Concubine sighed lightly: "Sister Xia, the emperor doesn't have to be too angry. After all, none of us want to see the child sick, and it wasn't intentional for Sister Xia.
She is just a momentary willfulness, this method of dealing with it is too child's play, and she does not care about the safety of the emperor's dragon body at all. said a thousand ways and ten thousand, she just entered the palace, and she doesn't understand the rules here, I'm afraid that the dog slave instigated it, right? ”
The emperor was confused for a while: "I know that I will definitely make an example of this matter, and I will not tolerate it." Wen Qing, a dog minion, categorically can't stay. ”
Concubine Ji smiled softly: "It's good if the emperor is not angry, your dragon body is the most important." Sister Xia, you can rest assured that the concubine has ordered someone to clean it up thoroughly, and sent a decoction to Sister Xia. The doctor said that the incubation period of smallpox is only a few days, and if it is safe and sound, it will be completely fine. ”
The emperor snorted lightly: "It also happens to make her reflect for a few days, and the Sifu Hall will be temporarily sealed, so as to stabilize the panic of the people in the palace." ”
The emperor meant that Xia Zixian did not plan to investigate the matter that Xia Zixian concealed and did not report, but just blamed all the sins on Wen Qing.
Concubine Ji quietly bent the corners of her lips and said carefully: "This matter can't be concealed anymore, Your Majesty, this child doesn't seem to be blessed, so let's quickly return her to Meng Shilang and let him take her back to the mansion, so that the mother and daughter can see each other for the last time, right?" ”
The emperor frowned for a while: "The child was brought into the palace alive, but such a thing happened, how can I explain to the Meng family?" ”
Concubine Concubine quietly wiped a handful of tears: "Why don't you hand it over to the concubine?" Let the concubine go and tell Meng Shilang. ”
The emperor said uncomfortably: "But you are pregnant now, and the child has smallpox, and you can't get close." ”
Concubine Ji smiled with relief: "The concubine body will naturally be careful for the dragon fetus in her womb, and besides, I will just go to make a good life with Meng Shilang, and I will try to be as careful as possible." ”
The emperor didn't know how to speak, so he nodded: "Then it's up to you." ”
"The emperor is too polite, sharing your worries is what a concubine should do."
turned his back, and his smile was somewhat bitter.
Because of this incident, Wen Qing was directly dragged to Shen Xing's staff and killed, and there was no day to turn over.
Even the imperial physician was expelled from the palace after being reprimanded by the rod to set an example.
The matter is not over, and the people in the palace are still panicking.
The horror caused by smallpox did not go away.
In every palace, there is a lot of work to be done.
Even the Queen Mother was alarmed by this matter, and called the emperor over, not knowing what to ask.
Everyone is naturally criticized for the culprit of this matter, Xia Zixian. Everyone agreed that she was the one who brought the disease into the palace.
And the way she dealt with it after she found out also made everyone suspicious.
Especially when Concubine Ji asked Wen Qing to return the child directly to Meng Shilang, Wen Qing was obviously panicked, indicating that they definitely did not want to send the child back to the Meng family.
There was a lot of speculation for a while.
Xia Zixian's Sifu Hall was temporarily sealed, and the palace people inside were grounded, even if the emperor favored her again, this matter was not trivial, and there must be an attitude.
Even if Xia Zixian was not punished according to the palace rules, this sealing of the palace was enough to make the concubines in the palace gloat.
Concubine Ji sat on the Arhat couch in the Pujia Palace, leaning on the couch, on which there were a few plates of dried fruits and two fruit teas.
An Sheng sat on the other side of the couch.
The door of the hall was open, and Xia Ziwu was playing with a handful of roses in the courtyard, plucking the petals one by one and throwing them everywhere.
The two palace maids guarded her side, carefully guarding her, and did not dare to slack off.
Concubine Ji picked up the fruit tea and took a sip: "This lemon honey tea tastes fragrant, sweet and sour in the mouth, and is really good." ”
An Sheng lowered his eyelids: "Niangniang is pregnant now, although the hawthorn fruit is appetizing, it is better to eat as little as possible." If you have a bad appetite, drink a little fruit tea, which can also nourish your skin. ”
Concubine Ji gently put the tea cup in her hand on the table, and picked up the amber peach kernels in a saucer: "I don't like this walnut, I feel that there is an astringent taste, your recipe is made into amber peach kernels, crisp and sweet, and with the mellow fragrance of sesame seeds, this palace can't stop." ”
An Sheng smiled gently: "It's good if Concubine Niangniang likes it." ”
Concubine Ji wiped her white fingertips with a handkerchief: "After two days of getting along, I feel that I like you more and more." No wonder he died for you. ”
An Sheng said softly: "Actually, most of Yu Shizi is just angry, the two of us are not close friends, why do we want to die or live?" ”
Concubine Ji sighed lightly: "Fate is a wonderful thing. Some people are afraid that even if they are two by two for a lifetime, it will be difficult to have feelings. And some, like, just need a glance. You're a catastrophe for the clouds.
He has never suffered any setbacks since he was a child, but in front of you, he has suffered setbacks one after another. I really hope that the two of you will grow old together. If he can't, I also hope that Jingyun will sharpen his temperament and mature after this incident. ”
An Sheng was silent and did not speak, nor did he refute.
"You are so smart, if you can marry into my Hou Mansion and take charge of the middle feed, it will be just a piece of cake." Concubine Ji continued: "Don't take those trivial things to heart in the past. ”
"Niangniang praised it falsely, I was just forced to fight back. It's not what I want to do. ”
"Who wants to hurt someone?" Concubine Ji chuckled: "But with your backhand, you gave Naxia Zixian a fatal blow, and sent Wen Qing to Huangquan Road, which really impressed the palace." ”
An Sheng said softly: "That's just their own fault." If she hadn't had the intention of harming others, I wouldn't have taken advantage of it. ”
"You have a good grasp of human nature, so every step is calculated seamlessly." Concubine Ji said sincerely.
An Sheng smiled bitterly: "I'm just eating a trench to grow wise, I have been living in the gap between Xue's mother and daughter like walking on thin ice all these years, I know how to look at people's faces and figure out people's thoughts."
Xia Zixian is ruthless enough, and she can do whatever it takes for her own interests, so I calculated that when she learned that her child had smallpox, she would definitely want to hide it.
It's just that there is no mother to protect the child in secret, and I don't dare to take risks. This move, I am also trembling.
Fortunately, the child was safe and sound. Otherwise, if she continues to stay by Xia Zixian's side, I can't guarantee that the child will be safe and sound. And my sister will definitely not be able to stand the collapse. ”
Concubine Ji nodded and sighed lightly: "Lord Meng has already complained to the emperor, and the emperor has allowed it." I originally wanted Lord Meng to kneel outside the palace gate for two hours, to put pressure on the emperor, and also to give Xia Zixian a little color. But when I saw that the emperor still did not hesitate to favor Xia Zixian that day, I suddenly became disheartened, so I took it when I saw it. ”
Through this incident, it can be seen that the person who is good at drugs around Xia Zixian is not Wen Qing, he is not by Xia Zixian's side. Otherwise, he should have seen at a glance that the child and the nurse had only been poisoned a little, similar to smallpox. An Sheng calmly analyzed.
She originally thought that Wen Qinghui was the one who was good at drugs, but unfortunately, she guessed wrong.
However, the person who was good at poison was not by Xia Zixian's side, and it would be much easier to deal with Xia Zixian by himself. Although it is only half-baked knowledge, if you can seize the opportunity, there is still a two-point chance of winning.
"That's why this palace said that you are smart, and a little trick not only got rid of the eunuch Wenqing who was a threat to you, but also tested the depth of Xia Zixian. I'm ashamed of myself. ”
"Niangniang just disdains to compete with Xia Zixian, and you haven't taken her seriously." An Sheng lowered his eyebrows and said carefully.
Concubine Ji hooked her lips and smiled: "After she entered the palace, she was so public, and all the women in the palace were staring at her, I really didn't want to make a move." So you have to remember the favor of this palace. ”
An Sheng said a low "um": "An Sheng remembers it from the bottom of his heart. ”
Concubine Ji smiled "hehe": "Next, what are you going to do?" The method you told me last time was not very good, and now that Xia Zixian is favored by the emperor, these tiny hands and feet are not enough to cause fatal injury to Xia Zixian, and they are insignificant.
It's better to think of a strategy that will hit you with one hit. Otherwise, she will be vigilant, and it will be difficult for us to attack in the future. ”
