Chapter 67: Encountering Ghosts
Before Cheng Ye left, he sent someone to find him and asked him to protect Su Wenmei.
Su Wenmei later secretly sent someone to investigate, and among the assassins caught in the Gu Mansion at that time, there were traces of the eighteen evils in the rivers and lakes. Even if the Queen Mother lost her communication tools with the Eighteen Evils of the rivers and lakes, she could still find them.
Zhuang Xianren has always been a muddy person, so he sowed discord more fiercely, and he would never think of using ylang-ylang to deal with her; Mo Lanyan is a little ruthless, and it is possible to take her life, but the price of the eighteen evils in the rivers and lakes is extremely high, and in terms of Mo Fu's financial resources and reputation, it may not be able to be moved.
Moreover, the eighteen evils of the rivers and lakes think very highly of themselves, and they will not easily work for such concubines.
Then, the only person who can invite the eighteen evils of the rivers and lakes and want to put her to death is the Queen Mother. Next, she will fight their wits and send the damned to hell.
The first snow of this winter fell for a long time, and it was not until the beginning of the winter feast that the fluttering gradually stopped.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, at the winter banquet, the Xiangyun Hall returned to its former prosperity. The dignitaries and dignitaries were gorgeously dressed and greeted each other, looking intimate. The banquet was staggered, so lively!
It's just that I don't know how much of the friendship under this mask is true and how much is false?
Su Wenmei and Zhuang Xianren sat on both sides of Cheng Gan on the left and right, and she hadn't spoken to Cheng Qian for a long time.
During the banquet, Zhuang Xianren raised his glass: "Empress Dowager, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the courtiers and concubines wish the Empress Dowager a long life and a healthy body."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother also raised her wine glass and smiled faintly at Zhuang Xianren: "All the concubines here, you should add a few more children and grandchildren to the mourning family." When the first emperor was crowned, he already had children and grandchildren around his knees. The mourning family hopes to hug their grandson as soon as possible, hehehe......"
"The concubines follow the teachings of the Queen Mother." Su Wenmei and all the concubines all stood up and raised their glasses and drank together.
After saluting the Empress Dowager, Su Wenmei then raised her glass: "Emperor, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the courtiers and concubines also respect the emperor." I wish the emperor a healthy dragon and a long life. ”
Cheng Qian hadn't seen her for many days, and at this moment she took the initiative to toast, which made him feel quite flattered. But he looked at her with a faint smile, still maintaining the demeanor of an emperor.
It wasn't until Su Wenmei raised his hand for a moment that the atmosphere was a little awkward, that he raised his wine glass and symbolically clinked glasses with Su Wenmei: "Concubine Wen has a heart for me, and I have always known it." As he spoke, he raised his glass and took a slight sip of the wine.
He is in the position of emperor, and he has learned more and more to be patient and restrained. And also...... Heart-to-heart.
Su Wenmei was a little surprised, but she was not annoyed, she drank the full glass of wine, lowered her head and smiled, and sat back on the chair. The concubines present were quite a bit of a joke about Concubine Wen.
Su Wenmei Xu had just drunk too much wine, and now her head was a little dizzy, and her stomach was tumbling for a while. But she also held on, refusing to let anyone see the joke.
After finishing the meal, Su Wenmei hurriedly resigned, and as soon as she went out, she couldn't help but squat on the ground and retch.
"Go and ask Imperial Doctor Liu to come to Mingyang Palace, this palace needs some sobering soup." As she spoke, Bing'er agreed and went to the hospital. Ruxia supported her and walked towards Mingyang Palace step by step.
After returning to Mingyang Palace, Su Wenmei sat for a while, drank some tea and pressed it, but she couldn't suppress the desire to vomit.
"Niangniang, aren't you...... Pregnant? Ruxia was on the side, her voice was very soft, and she spoke hesitantly.
Su Wenmei glanced at her: "Nonsense, this palace mathematics has never been in the same room with a man, where did it come from...... Child?! ”
"Yes." Ruxia responded: "It's the slave who thinks too much."
Bing'er invited Imperial Doctor Liu and hurried to Mingyang Palace. Imperial Physician Liu put Su Wenmei's wrist on the small pillow and put her hand on Su Wenmei's pulse.
His face was solemn, he carefully checked his pulse for a long time, and as if he was not sure, he treated her again, and asked her about her recent diet and daily life. So he suddenly knelt down and said, "Congratulations to Niangniang!" Congratulations to the mother! ”
In Su Wenmei's impression, except for the night in Gu Mansion, she has never been close to a man recently. It's just that she just felt in a daze that he kissed herself, and nothing else. Don't?! Could he have the audacity to ......
"Doctor Liu, what did you say? Can you make that clear? Su Wenmei asked.
"! Niangniang has been pregnant for more than two months, it is really a royal luck, it is a blessing for the mother! Imperial Physician Liu was so happy for Su Wenmei that she kept kneeling and kowtowing.
Su Wenmei's mind was in a mess, there were more than two months, counting the days, it was the time when the emperor was deceived into going to the Gu Mansion when she was deceived into going to the Gu Mansion. Her feet went limp, and she slumped into her chair.
"Bang!" The door of Mingyang Palace was slammed open.
It was Cheng Qian, and he was solemn: "Wen Mei, you are pregnant again!" As he spoke, a look of surprise suddenly changed on his face: "I was only entangled with you on the night of the Autumn Harvest Festival, and you had it again!"
What the?! Su Wenmei was confused, and she hadn't recovered from the shocked state just now. She swallowed her saliva secretly: "Your Majesty?"
It turned out that Cheng Qian heard that Su Wenmei had been assassinated that night, so he rushed back non-stop and went to Mingyang Palace to see her. She didn't fall asleep, and when Cheng Qian came over to pull Su Wenmei's hand, she was pulled by Su Wenmei, threw herself on the bed, and then ......
Su Wenmei's face was hot, looking at Cheng Qian, who couldn't hide his excitement, and Ruxia and Bing'er, who were blushing, I really felt that life was really up and down!
Su Wenmei concealed her emotions and glanced at Cheng Qian lightly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is unwell and wants to ......"
"Oh! Be! Imperial Physician Liu said: "Concubine Wen had a miscarriage a few months ago, and now her vitality has not fully recovered, and she is naturally much more tired than ordinary pregnant women when she is pregnant with this dragon child. The emperor still pities the hard work of the mother's pregnancy, and it is not appropriate to let the mother stand for a long time. And Rong Weichen prescribed two patches of fetal pills for Niangniang, so let Niangniang rest early. ”
"You're in charge." Cheng Qian was very happy and said to Liu Yanzhang: "This prince of mine will be handed over to you to protect."
"Yes." Liu Yanzhang replied: "Wechen must do his best."
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing about the concubines." Cheng Qian's feet were just about to step out of Mingyang Palace, when Su Wenmei spoke.
Cheng Qian paused, turned to look at Su Wenmei: "You say."
"Everyone in the harem puts the emperor first in everything, and none of them don't want to give birth to the emperor's child. It's just that the concubines are tired now, and it is difficult to cope with the courtesy exchanges of everyone in the palace, so the emperor, the concubines are pregnant...... Can you speak out later? ”
Cheng Qian didn't say anything, only nodded lightly, and went out.
Su Wenmei sat on the chair, withdrew from everyone, and supported her forehead with her hands, only feeling tired.
Selfless, she doesn't want this child to come, she wants to do a very dangerous thing, if it is exposed, it will be a big crime to kill her head, but I am afraid that it will inevitably affect her child at that time; But for her, there is no harm - if the plan fails, then this child will become her own hole card to save her life.
Peace and security are naturally good, but you are not afraid of 10,000 in everything, just in case.
The * of the Xiangyun Hall lasted until the evening, and when the Queen Mother returned to the palace, it was already late at night. At this time, the snow had stopped, and the moonlight reflected on the snow, which had a hazy beauty.
However, when passing by an alley on the way, a gust of wind whined, adding a bit of coldness to the quiet night. The Queen Mother sat on the sedan chair and unconsciously gathered the cloak on her body.
A white shadow flickered, emitting a sharp, piercing scream that was so abrupt in the surprisingly quiet night.
"Who!" The Queen Mother sat on the sedan chair and asked. However, there was no sound other than the whining of the wind.
"Queen Mother...... The queen mother ......" The eunuch carrying the sedan chair trembled in his voice, and his feet trembled: "Slave, slave seems to have seen a ghost......"
"What nonsense! The palace is full of dragon energy, where can there be ghosts?! The Queen Mother scolded and asked, "If the mourning family hears your nonsense again, you don't have to serve in front of the mourning family anymore."
However, as soon as the Queen Mother's voice fell, the "ghost" floated in front of everyone's eyes again. "She" covered her face with her hair, and the white clothes on her body were stained with blood, and with a sharp scream, she flew over the head of the Queen Mother, and disappeared behind the bamboo scene on the side.
As "she" flew overhead, there was even cold blood falling on them, causing their nerves to jump to the extreme in an instant.
"Ah-" Several eunuchs shook the sedan chair in their hands one after another, and with a "bang", the Queen Mother fell to the ground with the sedan chair, and Shu Yun on the side panicked and stepped forward to help her: "The Queen Mother!" Dowager! ”
The Queen Mother looked pained, sat on the sedan chair, and was just thrown down from such a high place, afraid that she would flash her waist.
Shu Yun stepped forward, helped the Queen Mother, and slowly walked back step by step, but saw that the "ghost" was blocking the palace road that must be passed through Ningshou Palace.
The Queen Mother looked at him, her eyes were already a little dizzy after many years, and it took her a lot of effort to slowly barely see the human face under the pile of miscellaneous hair.
The Queen Mother was like being struck by lightning, numb from head to toe. Under the miscellaneous hair, it is clearly Xu Shuyi's face!
"Nope! No! No! The Queen Mother shook her head, unwilling to accept it. Xu Shuyi has died a long time ago, she has died a long time ago, and now that she is the queen mother, Xu Shuyi is coming back, is she going to take away everything from her? ! Or...... All of this was carefully designed by someone to kill her.
The Queen Mother's eyes were scarlet, but she tried to calm herself, straightened out her thoughts, and retreated in the opposite direction. Shu Yun also followed the Queen Mother and walked in the direction of the Qianzheng Palace.
At this time, in the main hall of Qian, Zhuang Xian and Mo Lanyan were waiting for Cheng Qian, and they had not yet returned to the palace. Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the Queen Mother, they went up to help.
"Queen Mother! Dowager! Zhuang Xianren looked extremely filial: "The queen mother's waist is sprained?" What about the minions who carry the sedan chair?! ”
