Chapter 12: Death by Injury
Since the closure of the autumn and Jin Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, almost all of them have been in the palace except for the daily morning and dusk.
Today, except for going to the queen to stay for a few days every month, the saint hardly spends the night at the concubines of other palaces, and sits down and leaves. Most of the month is resting in the Zitai Palace in Guan Qingqiu. Everyone was jealous and hateful in private, but they couldn't do anything, and the saint's mind was clear.
Concubine Jia was grounded, and Concubine Li was reprimanded and hadn't been to see it for a long time.
For a while, everyone in the harem was haggard, and when they went to Fujia Palace to greet the Queen Mother, they were not as happy as before, and the Queen Mother asked a few words, but everyone didn't dare to say that it was saintly, or the queen turned around and mentioned a few words.
The Queen Mother was a little dissatisfied in her heart, and she didn't say much, after all, Emperor Shengyuan was his own son, and he had been raised by other concubines since he was a child, and he really didn't fulfill his duties as a mother.
After everyone left, the Queen Mother sat alone on the red sandalwood carved chair, her expression was a little gloomy: "Red sleeves, did the mourning family treat the emperor lightly?" ”
Red Sleeves was slightly stunned, and hurriedly comforted: "How come? The Queen Mother is dedicated to the saint, and even thinks about food, clothing, housing and transportation all the time. ”
The Queen Mother was a little relieved: "Yes." ”
Red Sleeves saw that the Queen Mother's face was better before she said: "The Queen Mother had no way before, who doesn't want to put the child by her side." The saint also knows in his heart that the Queen Mother is good, so he has always put the Queen Mother first. ”
The two said a few words, and the Queen Mother said, "Call the emperor over later." ”
Redsleeves said yes.
…………
Since Shen Yan went to Fujia Palace, Guan Qingqiu was also called to go, and he stood next to him with an order, and his legs were faintly sore after standing for a while, and the Queen Mother couldn't lose her posture without speaking, so she had to stand motionless.
After a long while, the Queen Mother found her: "Still standing, sit down." He was disgusted with the red sleeves again: "Why don't you remind the mourning family." ”
Red Sleeves confessed: "Slaves and maids deserve to die." ”
Guan Qingqiu knew that the Queen Mother was giving Ma Wei, so he honestly sat on the stool and waited for the Queen Mother to confess.
The Queen Mother first said some ordinary greetings, and then changed the conversation: "The first time I saw you, I knew it wasn't a thing in the pool." ”
"I heard that the Holy Lord has been very fond of you lately?"
Guan Qingqiu said in his heart, here.
She thought for a while and said, "The saint couldn't bear to see that I was not in good health, so I stayed with me for a while, is it a concubine?" ”
The Queen Mother saw that her words were ingenious, and she admitted her mistake simply, and felt a little more comfortable: "I can't blame you for my holy character." After a while, his words became solemn: "Since the Holy One likes you, you must be more attentive, the Holy One is busy with political affairs, and sometimes he forgets his body, you must remember to remind him." If I get sick at your place, the mourners will come to you. ”
Guan Qingqiu hurriedly said yes and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother will definitely pay attention to it." ”
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's not too early, you can go down too." ”
When Shen Yan came to Zitai Palace in the evening, the two glanced at each other, and they both understood.
Shen Yan said apologetically: "I can't accompany you every day these days. ”
Guan Qingqiu blinked and said, "It's okay." "If Shen Yan comes every day, I'm afraid she will be called to Fujia Palace again.
Shen Yan quietly hugged Guan Qingqiu, the candle shadow in the room shook red, and the bead curtain was gently swayed by the night breeze......
…………
Zhongcui Palace.
Concubine Li was waiting in front of the palace gate early.
When she heard that the Holy One was coming, her depression for many days was swept away.
and the palace maid Xinrui talked and laughed.
In addition to Concubine Li, Zhong Cui Palace also lives Chen Meiren.
Chen Meiren has a cold temperament, and she looks down on Concubine Li's arrogant appearance, and the two are-for-tat when they meet. She's going out, and she's going to go out after a gift.
Who knew that Concubine Li glanced at her, turned her head and smiled with Xinrui: "Some people are just idle, I can't go out if I want to." ”
Xin Rui flattered: "Niangniang has a dragon seed in her belly, so naturally she can't compare." ”
Chen Meiren heard it harshly, glanced at it coldly and took people away.
Lu Yun next to him said: "Concubine Li is too unforgiving. ”
Chen Meiren frowned in disgust: "What do you mention her." ”
Green Cloud closed his mouth in amusement.
When it was getting dark, Shen Yan arrived.
After Concubine Li saluted, she said gently: "Go in." ”
Concubine Li looked at Shen Yan's face, carefully pulled it up and said coquettishly: "The concubine thought that the saint was angry, and she didn't pay attention to the concubine anymore." ”
There was a hint of a smile on Shen Yan's face: "Stupid words." He said without hurry: "If you are not so reckless, I will not reprimand, in front of so many people, I must always give an attitude." I haven't come to see you these days, but have you taken care of your baby? ”
Concubine Li said with a smile: "The concubines follow the will every day, and the fetal pills are all drunk in a bowl." ”
Shen Yan nodded: "That's good." ”
Concubine Li saw that Shen Yan was not abnormal, so she completely relieved her heart, and the two walked inside together.
The night is deep, the sky in the palace is always dark early, and the cool breeze blows through every part of the palace on summer evenings.
After Shen Yan went to the palaces for a long time, the harem was a lot quieter, and even the voice of resentment gradually became smaller, and everyone thought that the saint was just a temporary freshness to Shangguan, and he would let it go when the time came.
Guan Qingqiu didn't care about their jealousy, so naturally he wouldn't take the ridicule to heart.
In a flash, it was September, and Concubine Li's belly was getting bigger, and Shen Yan had to go to Zhongcui Palace to see her.
It happened to be a few months ago, Concubine Li was always uneasy, and she had palpitations when there was a wind and grass, and the people from the hospital came in waves, and left in waves.
The Queen Mother also attached great importance to this child, and sent many precious supplements to the past, and there were many more smiles on her face.
Not to mention that the queen checked Concubine Li's diet and body every day, Shen Yan often instructed her subordinates to take care of her carefully.
This is the first child of the Holy One, and it goes without saying that it is honorable.
The people in the palaces also often run to Zhong Cui Palace, and even Concubine Yu, who was not in good health, went to see it once and said something taboo.
The virtuous Shu Zhaorong has been gone for a few days, and it is very lively.
Guan Qingqiu and Concubine Li were not on good terms, and they had never been there, so because of the face on the table, they asked Xiao Zhongzi to send something over. It is a pair of ruyi and harmony tourmaline and gold silk inlaid ruby double luan with Shen Yan's personal appreciation.
In front of Concubine Li, let the imperial doctor look at it again and again.
What Guan Qingqiu didn't expect was that Concubine Li's baby was gone on September 13.
At that time, Guan Qingqiu was playing against Shen Yan.
Suddenly heard the noise outside, Shun Su took Xin Rui and hurriedly walked inside, Xin Rui's face was almost bloodless, her lips trembled, and when she saw Shen Yan, she immediately knelt on the ground weakly, and said tremblingly: "Holy Lord, see you in our mother...... It's red! ”
Shen Yan stood up suddenly: "What?!" ”
Guan Qingqiu was also surprised: "What's the matter?" ”
Xin Rui trembled violently: "This afternoon, our mother began to have abdominal pain, and she suddenly turned red just now." ”
Guan Qingqiu asked anxiously: "Is the imperial doctor invited?" ”
Xinrui cried and said, "Please, the saint should go and have a look." He kept kowtowing.
"I'm going to take a look!" After saying that, he hurried away, and Xinrui followed.
Guan Qingqiu asked Shunsu: "Isn't Concubine Li's fetus good?" How could it suddenly be gone? ”
Shun Su was also confused: "...... Suddenly, it was like this, and the people who were busy in Zhong Cui Palace turned their backs and turned over on their backs, and no news came out at all. ”
The cold wind blew outside, Guan Qingqiu was chilled, and involuntarily hugged the soft pillow in his arms, according to the memory of the original body, Shen Yan has been on the throne for many years, and the forces of the previous dynasty were complicated and intertwined, and the family relationship was even a ribbon and vine to grasp it, and even several imperial uncles were stumbling openly and secretly, and the whole body was moved, and the border forces were restless, especially in the northern Xinjiang, which was dominated by nomadism, the Hu people, and the wolf ambitions were clearly revealed.
Shen Yan has been busy with political affairs and has no time to manage the harem, and in recent years, the country has gradually become more peaceful.
In fact, this is not the first child of the saint, the previous eldest prince was born with a weak disease, and he finally raised it for two years or went. The queen's child had a difficult birth, and this time Concubine Li's child was also ......
Guan Qingqiu looked at the flickering candle flame: "Why are the children in the palace gone?" ”
Shun Su also looked at the window lattice: "The slave doesn't dare to speculate, the children in the palace ...... Isn't it all like that? ”
The faint words will be scattered in the hazy night fog for a while.
Guan Qingqiu listened to Shun Su's words, looked at the misty night and the cornices of the palace corners painted with gold and painted wind, and felt for the first time that the night in this palace was so difficult.
The road ahead is obscure, and the road is twists and turns......
Guan Qingqiu couldn't sit still in the palace, so he simply went to Zhongcui Palace.
When I arrived, I only saw the palace people coming in and out, and basins of blood and water were brought out, and the faces of everyone with such a bloody and sticky color were pale.
The queen, Jia Guifei, Yu Guifei, Shu Zhaorong and many concubines are all surrounded in the side hall.
Shen Yan sat on the wide chair, clutching the cold armrests tightly, his slender fingers were almost blue-white, and he didn't react when he saw Guan Qingqiu coming, but his eyes trembled.
Imperial Physician Li was sweating profusely inside, and several colleagues from the Imperial Hospital were considering ways to do so, and they were anxious together.
The moonlight was as bleak as a tile of frost and snow, covering the paper of the pasted window, and it was more deeply exposed, and the dripping drips hit the edge of the window. Like a bell, it slowed down with time, and could only disappear in the red wall of Zhuwari. The sound of the candles peeling off was scorching, and the candle shadow shook the ghosts of the entire palace, and the curtain was stretched into a long piece.
Guan Qingqiu was accompanying Shen Yan outside, and when she heard Concubine Li moaning helplessly inside, she couldn't help but be frightened, in her previous life, she was also like this, seeing a life disappear like this, turning into a pool of pus and blood and disappearing into this world.
At this time, the disgust for Concubine Li disappeared.
Concubine Li's screams evoked memories of her past life. She rejoiced in the unborn life, and caressed her belly lovingly, thinking about whether the child was a man or a woman.
What kind of life will it be like in the future.
Such expectations are the light in her gloomy life in the palace, and the tiredness and sorrow of several years are negligible in this vigorous life.
Concubine Li's voice was quieter, and in the end, there was no sound.
The imperial doctor inside pinched people, and it was useless to hang them with ginseng, seeing that Concubine Li's blood was getting more and more, and the jade belt was drenched.
They all knew that the child could not be saved.
