Chapter Seventy-One: Searching the Palace

"Concubine Lan is saying that this palace is pampered and arrogant, deliberately domineering the emperor?" Su Wenmei glanced at her: "Concubine Lan has always been smart, how can she learn from those long-tongued women outside the palace today, and chew the root of her tongue in the palace." Don't you really hear what you mean? ”

Mo Lanyan slowly knelt down: "The concubine lost her words, and I hope that the mother will punish her." ”

"This palace does not have the right to assist the six palaces, but Concubine Lan is disrespectful and has to be punished." She turned her head to look at Concubine Xian: "Concubine Xian, you say, what should be done about this matter?" ”

The corners of Zhuang Xianren's mouth twitched: "Concubine Wen, although Concubine Lan has made mistakes, it is not unintentional, Concubine Wen has always been generous and polite, and she is deeply loved by the emperor, if not, give Concubine Lan another chance." ”

"Concubine Xian holds the real power of the six palaces of the assistant palace, and this is how she governs the harem?" Su Wenmei said: "The governance of the harem should be both rigid and soft, rewards and punishments are clear, and the virtuous concubine should not blindly protect her because of kindness." ”

"Concubine Wen." Zhuang Xianren said: "This palace knows that you are pregnant with a dragon son, and you are deeply loved by the emperor, but if this pampered and arrogant reputation reaches the ears of the emperor, I am afraid it will not sound good, right?" What's more, Concubine Lan didn't say anything that would damage Concubine Wen's face in the end. ”

"Virtuous Concubine Niangniang, you and Concubine Lan have always been good friends, and you should know how to avoid suspicion." The precious person on the side spoke: "The people in the palace are the most taboo to tell right and wrong, or give a little precept, so that the people in the palace know that it is good to distinguish between public and private affairs of the virtuous concubine." ”

"Are you saying that this palace is selfish?" Zhuang Xianren asked.

"Virtuous concubine, right and wrong, everyone in the palace is watching, and the concubine also believes that the virtuous concubine is self-purifying and will not do something foolish." Su Wenmei smiled, but her words were merciless.

Concubine Lan was disrespectful, and she should be punished for kneeling in the imperial garden for an hour. Concubine Wen, are you satisfied? Zhuang Xianren looked at Su Wenmei and said hatefully.

Mo Lanchang has advised Zhuang Xianren many times, and although there have been conflicts between the two, she has always regarded Mo Lanchang as an ally and has been closer to her. is now openly punishing Mo Lanyan, and he is also beating his face.

Su Wenmei nodded: "It's almost lunch, and the palace will go back to the palace." Let's go back early, all the sisters. Su Wenmei said, got up and left.

The rest of the people also stood up and saluted Su Wenmei. After that, they saluted the virtuous concubine one by one, and then left. Zhuang Xianren stood in place, and the concubines in front of him were gone one by one, and he also knew that the wind direction of the harem had changed.

Su Wenmei is deeply loved by Cheng Qian, and now she is on an equal footing with her, and she is pregnant with a dragon heir, which is the time for the spring breeze to be proud. Today's Zhuang Xianren doesn't have many chips to fight with her.

After lunch, she stayed in Mingyang Palace for a long time, and her abdomen was a little uncomfortable, so she asked Bing'er to invite Imperial Doctor Liu to take her pulse.

Since the child was conceived, there have been many losses in the womb, and Doctor Liu said that this fetus is very easy to miscarry. In addition, I have been working hard all day for Hong Qinyin's affairs, and I am afraid that this child will not be able to be guaranteed for nine months. Even if it is barely saved, it is likely to be a birth defect.

So, it's time to do something about it.

In the evening, Concubine Lan sent a jade Guanyin, saying that Concubine Wen was pregnant and sent it as a congratulatory gift.

Concubine Lan's move first came to show her weak position to the harem and cause dissatisfaction with her from the harem; Second, maybe it was to show her goodwill, maybe it was to let her relax her vigilance, or maybe it was to make a move on Jade Guanyin.

It's just that Concubine Lan is not stupid, and she won't be bold enough to do anything about this. But she, Su Wenmei, will make this thing come true.

At dinnertime, Cheng Qian went to Mingyang Palace for dinner, Su Wenmei picked up some dishes for Cheng Qian, and said: "Your Majesty, today, the concubine may have done something wrong." ”

Cheng Qian ate vegetables without raising his head: "What's the matter?" ”

"The concubine and the sisters in the palace today in the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, during the period, Concubine Lan's words were slightly inferior, the concubine was displeased, the virtuous concubine punished her for the concubine, kneeling for an hour. But not only did she not hold a grudge against her concubine, but instead gave her a jade Guanyin. ”

"The concubines now feel that they are stingy." Su Wenmei said, smiling shyly.

Cheng Qian looked at her: "There is order in the palace, you haven't done anything wrong." ”

Su Wenmei took the jade Guanyin, and gently stroked it with her fingers, and the jade Guanyin tentacles warmed: "This jade Guanyin is bright all over, it looks very beautiful, and the concubine likes it very much." ”

"If you like it, I will ask the Internal Affairs Office to carve a bigger statue for you another day, and put it in your dormitory, and you can also watch it every day."

"Your Majesty, this Jade Guanyin is of such a size, and it is also very delicate and beautiful."

After Cheng Gan had dinner, he went back to the main hall of Qian, recently Li Xian and the seventh prince Cheng Ye defeated the Western Xia, the Western Xia envoys came to negotiate peace, and he still had a lot of things to arrange.

On the afternoon of the second day, Su Wenmei was in the cabinet, touching the jade Guanyin sent by Concubine Lan, and suddenly felt a little unwell in her body and had unbearable abdominal pain.

The Jade Guanyin fell to the ground with a snap, shattering in an instant. Su Wenmei clutched her stomach and sat down on the ground suddenly: "Quick, go and ask Imperial Doctor Liu to come over." ”

After a while, Imperial Physician Liu hurriedly entered Mingyang Palace, but saw Su Wenmei lying on the bed, with a large amount of blood under her, and she was about to faint in pain at the moment.

Doctor Liu diagnosed that Su Wenmei had smoked a small amount of ylang-ylang, which led to the miscarriage.

Ylang ylang is a strong medicine for inducing brightening. However, if you are pregnant, you should not smoke, and if you smoke too much, it will lead to miscarriage of the fetus.

Cheng Qian was also shocked when he heard Ruxia's report, so he didn't care about the matter at hand, and hurriedly ran to Mingyang Palace. According to the rules of the Xiling Dynasty, when a woman has a miscarriage or difficult birth, a man is not allowed to enter the delivery room.

However, Cheng Qian ignored Bing'er's obstruction, broke in, and as soon as he entered the inner hall of Mingyang Palace, he saw Su Wenmei's face full of despair.

"Wen Mei." Cheng Qian was at the door, and when he heard the words of Imperial Physician Liu, he immediately wondered in his heart - who could it be to harm their children?

"Your Majesty." When Su Wenmei saw Cheng Qian coming, she turned her head, and there were clear tears on her face: "It's someone who wants to harm the concubines and the emperor's children." ”

Cheng Qian lowered his head, his eyes full of gloom. He was indescribably sad to lose his second child with her, but when he saw the uncomfortable appearance of the woman he loved, he was even more sad.

Liu Yanzhang lowered his head, picked up a piece of Jade Guanyin's mutilation, looked at it carefully, and put it on his nose to smell it. Suddenly, Liu Yanzhang's face changed greatly: "Your Majesty, the noble concubine, there is something wrong with this Jade Guanyin." ”

Cheng Qian turned his head: "What's the problem?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are some ylang-ylang herbs on it, as well as strychnine, the two things are mixed together, and they are the strong medicine for abortion!"

"This ylang-ylang incense is an aphrodisiac medicine, if ordinary men and women smell it, their whole body will be weak, and they can't help it; However, if it is mixed with strychnine, a pregnant woman smells it, and in severe cases, it will lead to a miscarriage. ”

"If Concubine Wen places this jade Guanyin next to the incense burner and worships it every day, the heat of burning incense will spread the medicinal properties of ylang-ylang and strychnine. Niangniang...... "Liu Yanzhang said this, and glanced at Su Wenmei and Cheng Qian.

Su Wenmei's tears were like beads with broken threads: "This is happening!" How could it be! I was too careless, I never checked this jade Guanyin, so I worshipped it every day, and often stroked and played. ”

She raised her head and looked into the distance: "Concubine Lan, I just hurt you with my words yesterday, so you stretched out your hand to the child in my womb, you are so ruthless!" ”

Cheng Qian sat on the edge of the bed and lowered his head: "Go and call her to Mingyang Palace." ”

Mo Lanchang was in Shulan Palace, and she was summoned by Zhao Yuan of the Criminal Department, and she didn't know why, so she was escorted by Zhao Yuan's people all the way to Mingyang Palace.

"Let go of me, let go of me." Mo Lanyan struggled all the way, and when she arrived at Mingyang Palace, she met Cheng Qian's yin owl eyes.

"Your Majesty......" Mo Lanyan looked at Cheng Qian, her heart tightened, and her intuition was not good.

"Concubine Lan, do you recognize ylang-ylang?" Cheng Qian asked.

"Your Majesty ......" Mo Lanyan panicked and slowly knelt down: "Dare to ask the emperor, what did the concubine do wrong?" The emperor wants the criminal department to escort the concubines to Mingyang Palace? ”

"Zhao Yuan. Go to Shulan Palace and search the palace. Cheng Qian ordered.

"Yes." Zhao Yuan received the order and walked in the direction of Shulan Palace with a group of people. Mo Lanchang watched those people walk towards Shulan Palace, and her heart beat like a drum.

Bing'er walked out of Mingyang Palace and hurriedly walked to the Internal Affairs Office. But because he was too anxious, he collided with Zhao Xunzhi, who was also in a hurry.

"Ahh

Zhao Xunzhi's eyes quickly grabbed her, and he was a little stunned: "It's you?" ”

Bing'er opened her eyes: "Lord Zhao, it's you!" She got up from Zhao Xunzhi's arms and blessed him: "Thank you, Lord Zhao!" Counting this time, you have already saved the slave three times. Today, the slave and maid were too anxious to walk, and they collided with Lord Zhao, and I hope that the Lord will forgive them. ”

"Three times?" Zhao Xunzhi asked in amazement. suddenly remembered that outside Gu's mansion that day, they were assassinated, and he saved her; Then outside the palace, by the willow river, Bing'er fell, and he saved it once; And then there's today......

Zhao Xunzhi didn't expect that this girl would always remember the effort of raising his hands.

"Lord Zhao." Bing'er said: "Lord Zhao's kindness, the slave maid dare not forget. It's just that there was a sudden abnormality in Mingyang Palace today, and the slave maid had to go to the Internal Affairs Office to get some things that the mother needed, so the slave and maid retired first. ”

"Hey!" Zhao Xunzhi grabbed her: "What happened to Mingyang Palace?" Just now he watched Zhao Yuan walk in the direction of Shulan Palace with a team of people from the Criminal Department, and he knew that something had happened, but he didn't know that something had happened to Mingyang Palace.

"Your Excellency." Bing'er's eyelids drooped, and she replied sadly: "Niang Niang was framed by the villain and had a miscarriage again." After speaking, she saluted Zhao Xunzhi again and left.
