Chapter 115: Do it yourself
The medicinal gas filled the air, and Zhuo Hua's slender white hand held the spoon steadily, looking at the translucent medicine in the bottle, and sent it to Rou Jia's mouth with a light smile.
Rou Jia is only semi-comatose, she has never liked Zhuohua, let alone trusts Zhuohua, although she disdains scheming, but it does not mean that she will not be able to distinguish other people's scheming.
She wanted to call someone, but her consciousness was drowsy, and she couldn't make a sound in her throat, so she could only use all her strength to purse her lips.
Seeing this, Zhuohua stopped holding the spoon and chuckled: "What's wrong with the concubine Niangniang, don't you drink medicine, if you don't drink medicine, the illness will not be good." Don't you like to teach Zhuohua, if you can't get better, how can you teach Zhuohua? β
As she spoke, seeing that Rou Jia's mouth was still tightly pursed and did not move, she slowly got up, put the medicine bowl on the side, and looked at her with a slightly cold gaze: "Okay, the concubine wants Zhuohua to open her mouth for you personally, and Zhuohua doesn't dare to refuse." After saying that, he stepped forward and pinched Roujia's jaw tightly, forcing her to open her mouth.
Her medicine slowly poured into her mouth, Roujia refused to swallow, she kept pouring until she was willing to swallow!
"!"
Just before Zhuohua was about to finish the bowl of medicine, Ju'er's soft cry came, and she immediately turned her head to look, and saw a palace maid with freckled faces and big eyes walking in quickly with Ju'er.
She vaguely felt familiar with this figure, but she had never seen this ugly and crazy face.
Ju'er stepped forward and pushed her away, looking at Roujia's face full of medicine, and the pillow was wet with medicine, her heart was hanging in her throat, and she asked Zhuohua sharply: "What does the princess want to do, what did he eat for his mother!" β
Zhuohua looked extremely calm: "Naturally, it's medicine, but it was accidentally spilled when I fed the medicine." But if you talk to this palace like this, will this palace be able to cure you of a great disrespectful crime? β
When the words fell, many palace maids outside the house ran in, all of whom were from Zhuohua.
Wei Ruyi always lowered her eyebrows, stood on one side with her neck bent, and quietly observed Rou Jia's state, she smelled the smell of medicine as soon as she came in, there was no problem, there should be something else in question, after all, Zhuohua would not be so stupid, he came to feed the poison.
Seeing this battle, Ju'er sneered: "This is the bedroom of the concubine Niangniang, the princess has transferred all her own people, do you want to occupy the magpie's nest?" β
Zhuohua Qingxiu's brows furrowed slightly: "What are you doing in this palace, it's not your turn to question, step back." β
"The slave is the personal maid of the mother, where is the mother, where is the slave and the maid, there is no mother, the slave and the maid will not go anywhere?" Ju'er gritted her teeth, those palace people outside were timid, she could only protect Niangniang, if she left, Niangniang might not know what would happen.
After speaking, she looked at Wei Ruyi, who was low-eyed and pleasing to the side, and said, "You can take a look for Niangniang." β
"The slave obeys." Wei Ruyi took medicine that can change his voice in a short time in advance, and after answering in a dumb voice, he was about to step forward to check his pulse, but was stopped by Zhuo Hua stepping forward: "Who are you, why have I never seen you?" β
"The slave's name is Jixiang, and she is a medical girl in the palace of the virtuous concubine." Wei Ruyi lowered his head and said.
"Auspicious? Doctor girl? Zhuohua became more and more unconvinced, she grew up next to Concubine Xian, why had she never heard Concubine Xian mention that there was such a palace maid in the palace?
Just as she was hesitating, Wei Ruyi had already taken advantage of her unpreparedness, stepped forward and squeezed her away, and a silver needle pierced the acupuncture point between Rou Jia's forehead.
"Pull her away!"
Zhuo Hua immediately scolded, and the palace maids who came quickly grabbed Wei Ruyi and dragged her away roughly.
Zhuohua stared at her face tightly, carefully examining her facial features, vaguely, she seemed to see Wei Ruyi's shadow, but Wei Ruyi's facial features were exquisite, but the palace maid in front of her had a big nose and big buckteeth, her eyebrows were even rougher, and her voice was not like it at all.
"Mother, you're awake!"
Ju'er's happy cry came, and Zhuohua immediately turned around, only to find that Roujia, who had been in a coma, actually opened her eyes.
Her palms were slightly tight, but she wasn't too worried, even if Roujia woke up now, she would return to the light.
She stood still and didn't move, Ju'er only hurriedly helped Roujia up, and said with concern: "Niangniang, you are okay, you are in a hurry to die slave......"
Rou Jia glanced at Ju'er, whose face was full of tears, and then at Zhuo Hua, who was standing calmly in front, and her group of palace people, her eyes were cold: "You all go out!" β
"Zhuohua won't serve people, so the concubine is angry, Zhuohua will go to stand outside the door and ask for guilt!" If she didn't see Rou Jia die with her own eyes, how could she be relieved?
After she finished saluting, she deliberately glanced at the 'auspicious' who was standing aside and cowering, and then went out with someone.
After she left, Wei Ruyi deliberately closed the door before quickly stepping forward and pinching Rou Jia's wrist.
Rou Jia subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, and glared at Wei Ruyi sharply, Wei Ruyi hurriedly said: "Guifei Niangniang, I am Ruyi." β
"Ruyi?" Roujia asked in a weak voice, but she didn't believe it at all. How could a woman like Ruyi be this ugly and obscene palace maid in front of her?
Ju'er saw that she couldn't recognize her, so she hurriedly explained: "It's indeed Princess Jinghe, the slave maid went to invite her at night, and the princess was afraid that it would be troublesome for someone to recognize her, so she disguised herself like this." β
"I can't last long in this outfit, so let's hurry up and let me take the pulse." Wei Ruyi also said that her Qiao makeup can last for an hour at most.
Roujia saw that Ju'er said this, so she let go of this breath, but when this breath was released, she fell on the bed weakly, her throat and heart hurt like a burning fire, her eyes were sore and uncomfortable, and there was no comfortable place in her body.
Wei Ruyi immediately buckled her pulse, it was okay not to look at it, but when she looked at it, her facial features were about to wrinkle together.
Who is so ruthless that he has such a powerful poison!
"How?" Seeing that Wei Ruyi was silent, Ju'er hurriedly asked her.
Wei Ruyi didn't know what to say, but the imperial doctors who came to treat Roujia in the palace must have been bribed, otherwise such obvious symptoms would be fine. Even so, unless the entire Tai Hospital is replaced, as long as she leaves Concubine Roujia half a step, her life will still not be saved.
Seeing that Wei Ruyi didn't speak for a long time, Ju'er was so anxious that her palms were sweating: "Princess Jinghe, is she ...... Isn't it going to work......"
She sobbed in a low voice, and Rou Jia barely supported her eyes open, looking at Wei Ruyi, and her heart was also like ashes.
Wei Ru agreed, and then hurriedly explained: "Although the poison in Niangniang's house is troublesome, it is not unsolvable, I am just worried." β
"What is the princess worried about?"
"I'm worried that there is no one in this palace who understands medical skills and can be used by Niangniang, once I leave, Niangniang's poison will be uncontrollable." After Wei Ruyi finished speaking, he pulled out the silver needle in the center of Roujia's eyebrows, and Roujia instantly fell into a semi-comatose state.
Ju'er was startled, Wei Ruyi only looked around, removed a few sachets hanging on the curtain account, and sniffed Roujia's usual incense, frowning: "The person who poisons is really poisonous, this sachet and incense are non-toxic, but when mixed together, it can induce another poison, Niangniang's house, is there anything fragrant still stored?" β
The orange knows best, thought about it, and soon brought a pot of flowers from the corner, the branches and leaves of this flower are very gorgeous, but the flowers are very small, if you don't look carefully, others will directly ignore this flower.
"Princess, is there something wrong with this flower?" Ju'er asked her, and Wei Ruyi nodded: "Who gave this flower?" β
"The flower was rewarded by the queen a while ago, and the emperor said that the queen mother is now dedicated to kindness, so that the concubine will not be embarrassed, and specially instructed that the arrangement be placed in this inner room." Ju'er Road.
"And what about this sachet?"
"The sachet was sent by Princess Zhao a few days ago." Ju'er pursed her lips slightly, and Wei Ruyi understood. Sister Yansleeve will never harm the concubine, but only she believes it, but other people in the palace will not believe it, if something happens to Roujia, it must be Sister Yansleeve and the Chen family who will be dragged to the funeral next.
Wei Ruyi clutched the sachet tightly, remembered Shi Zhuohua's calm appearance, and said to Ju'er: "You may be the master of the concubine?" β
"What does the princess want to do?" Ju'er asked her carefully.
"The concubine wants to leave the palace temporarily to recuperate, it is best to go back to her mother's house, first, to facilitate my treatment, and secondly, I don't have to worry about these things. Otherwise, I will save her tonight, and Queen Ming'er will reward her with something, and she will not be able to return to heaven. Wei Ruyi said seriously.
Ju'er looked at her little face seriously, and then saw that Rou Jia's breathing had become weak, and finally nodded with determination: "The slave maid went to ask Concubine Xian Niangniang for help." β
"Now go to ask for a virtuous concubine, didn't you tell Zhuohua all your whereabouts?" Wei Ruyi was anxious and said directly.
Ju'er paused, her eyes widened slightly: "Is it really Princess Zhuohua...... she?"
Wei Ruyi shook his head: "I'm not sure it's her, after all, the things were sent by others, but tonight she was feeding the medicine here alone, I felt very suspicious, but I couldn't think of what was suspicious, so now it's best for you to send the concubine out of the palace to recuperate." β
"But if the concubine doesn't speak, how can the emperor release people?" Ju'er fell silent.
Wei Ruyi also understood that Rou Jia was a chess piece held by the emperor in his hand, and it was used to blackmail her father and brother's hundreds of thousands of troops, even if she died, she thought that he would not easily let Rou Jia out of the palace.
She looked at Ju'er silently, Ju'er looked at her slightly shiny eyes, and said softly: "Do you want the concubine to fake her death?" β
"Naturally not, if you fake your death, how will you go back to the palace then? It's this ......" Wei Ruyi folded some of the flowers in her hand, turned her head to soak in the water, and watched the water dyed red by the juice of the plant, before turning her head to Rou Jia's side, feeding her some water, and said: "This medicine will make the concubine Niangniang suffer some temporarily, but if it is not tight, it will not hurt her life." β
"Then don't you tell the concubine ......?"
"I just let her wake up, it has already consumed her spirit, and she can't hold it for so long. This breath, let's get out of the palace first. Wei Ruyi looked at the sky outside, it was only the end of August, it was still very early, if he didn't leave the palace again, once he was discovered by Zhuohua, it would be over.
Ju'er was very worried, but looking at her master's current situation, she could only choose to believe Wei Ruyi and listen to her all.
"Don't worry, the slave and maid will take care of the concubine, today the slave and maid are fighting for this life, and they must protect the concubine out of the palace!" Ju'er's eyes were full of firmness, Wei Ruyi saw that she was so loyal, and smiled comfortingly: "If you die, who will desperately protect the concubine." After a while, after dawn, you immediately sent someone to wait outside the Taihe Palace, and waited until the time of the dispersal of the court...... It is best when the courtiers have not finished leaving, and they say loudly that the concubine suddenly dreamed of the ancestor at night, and the ancestor warned her that she must go back to the old mansion immediately, otherwise disaster will befall her. β
Ju'er understood, looked at Rou Jia, who had begun to have a rash on her face, and nodded emphatically: "Slave and maid remember!" β
"Okay, then I'll go out of the palace to prepare medicine first, remember, before sunset today, you must go out of the palace." After Wei Ruyi finished speaking, he hurriedly went out through the side door.
When she came out, it was the time when people were most sleepy, she took Roujia's waist card to leave the palace, but she came out very smoothly, and was stopped only when she walked to the last door.
"Auspicious, my princess is also unwell, I want you to take a look."
An indifferent voice came, and Wei Ruyi's palms tightened slightly.
She lowered her eyes and said softly: "The slave is still in a hurry to grab the medicine for the mother......" she said, and suddenly stopped, she found that the effect of the disguised medicine had passed, and the voice of her voice had become normal.
It's over, what to do.
Wei Ruyi's mind turned, and suddenly she coughed heavily, rolled up her sleeves and covered her mouth and coughed for a long time, before she deliberately shook her sleeves that were accidentally stained with some red juice in the bright place, and covered it up very clumsily, and said with a smile: "Since the princess has a request, it doesn't matter if the slave maid goes to take a look, this sister will lead the way." She lowered her voice, turned her face, and coughed a few more times.
The palace maid took her set of actions in her eyes and was stunned.
It would be fine if she insisted on grabbing medicine for the concubine, but she changed her words in a blink of an eye, and she deliberately covered the bloody sleeves, could it be that she was infected with some serious disease and planned to infect the princess?
"You're not in a hurry to get the medicine for the mother?" She asked.
Wei Ruyi coughed again, then deliberately wiped the corners of his mouth, and said: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you are sick with the concubine Niangniang, although those few flavors of medicine are only available outside the uterus, but the Imperial Hospital in the palace may be able to find a few alternatives." Let's go see the princess first, a noble person like the princess, a slave and maid who is rarely seen, and now she is summoned ......"
Wei Ruyi looked anxious to see Zhuohua, and the palace maids who blocked the way became more suspicious, thinking about it, no one dared to joke about Zhuohua's safety, and only said: "You are waiting here now." β
"Isn't Princess Zhuohua in a hurry?"
"It's not that urgent." After the palace maid finished speaking coldly, she turned around and hurriedly went to talk back to Zhuo Hua.
Wei Ruyi watched her leave, and then looked at the people who stayed behind to guard her, and began to beat a drum in her heart. The makeup on her face didn't last long, and when it was all dawn, it would be exposed.
"Your Excellency, look at these, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will set off in a while, the emperor means, wait for the prince to come south, and then carry out the canonization ceremony......"
When the small business came, Wei Ruyi seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and regardless of the people watching her next to her, she rushed to the side with her skirt, and when the two palace maids came back to their senses, Wei Ruyi had already run a hundred meters away, so she hurriedly followed and chased after her.
Lou Yan was thinking about what was going to start in the morning for a while, and he had just waited for Jiang Yan to come out of Concubine Xian, and he had to continue to think about what to do next.
"Respect - ββ!"
When the exaggerated shouting came, his footsteps stopped slightly, and the eunuch on the side had already hurriedly called several guards to protect Lou Yantuan.
Wei Ruyi ran over, and was put on his neck with a knife by the guards.
She hurriedly held her breath and said, "Don't kill me, I'm his person." Wei Ruyi pointed to Lou Yandao.
When the words fell, not only Lou Yan, but several guards almost laughed out loud, who didn't know that the fiancΓ©e of the National Teacher was stunning, and then looked at the person in front of him, his face was black as if he hadn't been cleaned, and his big nose had buckteeth.
Wei Ruyi ignored their mocking gazes, and only looked at Lou Yan earnestly.
Lou Yan glanced at the two palace maids chasing her behind her, her eyes turned lightly, and she stared at her lightly: "Didn't you feed the pigs in the countryside, how did you enter the palace?" β
Feed the pigs......
Wei Ruyi endured it, and said with a smile: "The slave maid was also brought into the palace by chance, but the slave maid was in a hurry to go out of the palace to grab medicine, but the two sisters in the back did not force the slave maid to go to see Princess Zhuohua, the slave maid has shallow medical skills, where dare to see a doctor for the noble princess?" β
"Knowing that your medical skills are shallow, and you are still risking your life so much, is it difficult to feed the pigs in the countryside? In that case, from then on, you can go and herd the cattle. β
After Lou Yan finished speaking, the eunuch on the side had already understood, and immediately scolded her and let her go, and said, "Then the slave sent this palace maid out of the palace?" β
"Hmm." Lou Yan responded coldly and stared at Wei Ruyi again: "If I find you running around again, I won't spare you." β
Wei Ruyi smiled and responded: "Don't worry, the slave will definitely raise the pig for you." β
Lou Yan glanced coldly at the two palace maids behind her, and then left. Ruyi, this girl, doesn't want to reveal her identity, so naturally he can't give her more care.
Waiting for him to leave, Wei Ruyi took a long breath, and didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly urged the father-in-law to take her out of the palace.
Before leaving the palace gate, Mu Ying greeted her, and after making sure that she was okay in horror, she said: "You didn't come back overnight, and the slave almost told the old lady." β
"I'm fine, how did Fang Jian do that?" Wei Ruyi asked her.
"Nothing went wrong, and all the families of the missing boys last night begged King Ping...... In front of the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince immediately led someone to seal the Juxian Building, and found out very quickly that the 100,000 taels of silver used by Fang Jian were the proceeds of Fang Shilang's corruption and bribery. β
Wei Ruyi sneered: "If he has such affection, it will be easy to do it." After speaking, I don't think about the Fang family's affairs anymore, and now the top priority is the life and death of Concubine Roujia, but whether it can be done depends on whether Ju'er can do it today.
Zhuo Hua knew that 'auspiciousness' was actually escorted out of the palace by Lou Yan, so he immediately became vigilant.
"What did they say?"
"Talking about raising pigs and cattle, the slave and maid are also confused, but there is a little bit of slave and slave maid who feel strange, obviously this auspicious voice last night is still an ugly male duck voice, this morning is crisp and soft and sweet, as if it is a different person." The palace maid wondered.
Zhuohua was also puzzled, but after only seeing it once, she couldn't see anything wrong.
"Is there any movement in the palace of the concubine? That orange...... What's going on? Zhuohua leaned back slightly on the cushion and asked softly.
"Ju'er has been guarding the palace, but don't worry, Imperial Doctor Zhou said, the poison is very ingenious, if it is not the person who poisoned it, it will definitely not be possible to find the crux of the problem, a mere medical girl, if she has such a great ability, how can we not even hear of the name? This time, I am afraid that there is no way to return to heaven. The palace maid chuckled, Zhuohua only shook the fan, and smiled lightly.
Laughing and laughing, she realized that something was wrong.
"Doctor Girl...... It is true that no medical woman can have that ability, but what about Wei Ruyi? She sat up slowly, auspiciously...... Ruyi ......, this name is ingenious, and yesterday she suddenly felt that auspiciousness is the illusion of wishfulness, maybe it is not an illusion at all, but an intuition!
She stood up and quickly walked towards the Taihe Palace, and the palace maids on the side looked inexplicable, but they all followed, but at this time, the people arranged by Ju'er had already knelt on the main hall.
After she said what Wei Ruyi had explained, she said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang is flustered now, go and take a look." β
The emperor was slightly annoyed, how could there be anything about women in the court?
He was just about to scold, and the second palace maid in the Roujia Palace also arrived: "Your Majesty, the mother suddenly covered her body with red rashes, and the few palace maids who had just come into contact with her were all infected with red rashes......"
When the words fell, the officials who had not yet had time to retreat raised their heads one after another.
Lou Yan remembered the Ruyi he met in the morning, and his eyes moved slightly.
"Your Majesty, Princess Zhuohua asks to see you."
Someone from outside came to report.
The emperor was anxious because Roujia had contracted a rash that could be contagious, and when he heard this, he was even more worried: "What is the matter with her?" β
"The princess said that she heard about the illness of the concubine and wanted to move to the palace of the concubine from today to take care of the concubine." The eunuch replied.
When the words fell, everyone secretly talked about Princess Zhuohua's purity and filial piety.
When the emperor heard this, he was also a little moved.
"That is ......"
"Your Majesty, the crown prince's parade is the top priority, and there must be no mistakes. Since the concubine Niangniang wants to go back to the ancestral house, the minister thinks that it is better to let her go back, as for Princess Zhuohua's filial piety, the minister heard His Royal Highness King Zhao mention that the recent virtuous concubine Niangniang's body is not very good, and the princess wants to be filial, it is better to serve in the palace of the virtuous concubine. Lou Yan interrupted the emperor softly.
The emperor looked at him and felt that it made sense, firstly, he didn't want his beloved daughter to be sick, and secondly, the prince's southern tour was indeed not allowed to travel to the pool.
"In this case, it is necessary to do it according to the national teacher." The emperor gave an order, and Lou Yan saluted and retreated.
When he walked out of the main hall, he saw Zhuohua waiting on the side, and walked towards her slowly.
Zhuo Hua didn't expect that Lou Yan, who had always neglected him, would have himself in his eyes this time, and looked at him shallowly: "Does the National Teacher have something to say to the palace?" β
Lou Yan's expression was indifferent: "Weichen just has a word to give to the princess." β
"What?"
"It's good to do it yourself."
