Chapter 31: The Poisonous Woman
Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan and others watched Liu Lao treat Zhao Mengtong on the side, although they saw that Liu Lao's face was relaxed, but everyone still held it high in their hearts and never let it go.
Zhao Mengtong's body began to gradually burst out of purple and blue sweat, Liu Lao took out a bottle of clear water sample potion, poured it on the clean rag handed by Yin Qi, and wiped it very regularly for Zhao Mengtong. Gradually, Zhao Mengtong stopped screaming in pain, gradually calmed down, and fell into a deep sleep, and the violet blue sweat also turned into a normal color. Liu Lao picked up another needle, tested it with fire, and stabbed it on Zhao Mengtong's Hegu acupoint, with such great force that the needle had penetrated deep into the flesh and blood.
"In this way, no one should touch her, and after an hour, I will personally pull out the needle for her."
"Old Liu, did the kid survive?" The third prince asked very eagerly, after Zhao Mengtong suffered so much, if the child had not been saved, he really didn't know how to explain to Zhao Mengtong.
"I kept it, but after the next two months until I gave birth, my mother must not get out of bed in any way, and I have to take her pulse every day."
"Saved...... Saved the ......" The third prince heard that the child was saved, and he was happy and grateful, regardless of whether it was a man or not, tears flowed down directly, and his mouth just kept repeating these three words, wanting to rush over and hug Zhao Mengtong, but thinking of Liu Lao's warning just now, he could only happily spin in place.
Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan were also very happy, but they still had a trace of reason.
"Third brother, since Elder Liu has to check the pulse of his younger siblings every day, it is better for you and your younger siblings to stay in the Prince's Mansion for these two months, it is more convenient, anyway, there are many guest rooms, you can just pick one." Yin Qi smiled and patted the third prince on the shoulder, signaling her to calm down.
"Big brother, today you and your sister-in-law saved the lives of Mengtong and my child, the grace of Yongquan, Yin Ci has nothing to repay, as long as Yin Ci can help in the future, Yin Ci will never give up." The third prince suddenly knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists, and made an oath to Yin Qi, because he was too excited, and even a little incoherent, but a certain one was full of gratitude and sincerity.
Looking at Yin Ci, who was indifferent from the usual, Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan were a little at a loss.
"The third prince, please get up, Mengtong is also my friend, how can Yin Qi and I stand by and watch today's matter." Shen Qingyan pulled up the third prince and said with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, don't thank you for your kindness, Yin Xi has written down your life-saving grace." Yin Ci saluted again, and then sat next to Zhao Mengtong to guard her, just looking at her like that, making sure that she was breathing all the time, obeying this Liu Lao's instructions, and not touching her at all.
"Hey, the old man has been tired and tired for so long a day, and the credit is all for the two of you." Liu Lao raised his eyebrows unconvinced on the side, glaring at Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan.
"A few new jars of pear blossoms have been brewed in the house, and another day, Yin Qi will honor Liu Lao's altar, how about it?" Yin Qi smiled knowingly and made a gesture towards Liu Lao.
"Hmph, I want two altars." Liu Lao tilted his head and didn't look at Yin Qi.
"Okay, two altars are two altars." Yin Qi has always been respectful and helpless to this old child.
"Old Liu, I don't know why Mengtong is like this today?" Shen Qingyan was smiling and looking at Yin Qi and Liu Lao arguing, but suddenly thought of how Mengtong could suddenly slip on the tire, if it weren't for Liu Lao's medical skills, there would be no child at this time.
"She fell for a kind of incense in the Western Regions." At the mention of Zhao Mengtong, Liu Lao's expression became serious, "In the Central Plains, there are many incense that will make the pregnant mother slip the fetus, which is not as good as the well-known musk." And this kind of incense in her is the soul-breaking incense from the Western Regions, which is harmless to ordinary people, but if the pregnant mother smells even a little bit, she will immediately be weak in her hands and feet, dizzy and dizzy, and then she will have unbearable abdominal pain, and the fetus will also be stillborn. ”
"It's Concubine Li!" When the third prince heard Liu Lao say this, he stood up suddenly, his eyes widened angrily, and he looked at Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan, "This poisonous woman! Meng Tong told me in the carriage that she asked about an unusually strange fragrance on Concubine Li, and then she became weak! ”
Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan glanced at each other, they had already guessed that it was Concubine Li's hands and feet, but they couldn't figure out why Concubine Li wanted to harm the three princes and the three blessings who had no quarrel with the world.
As the night deepened, Shen Qingyan went back to the room first, let Cui Wei wait to wash up, and then sat on the couch and waited for Yin Qi.
"The third brother and younger siblings have settled down, and they are in the wing room next to us, if you want to see your younger siblings in the future, you can see them when you go out of the room." Yin Qi pushed the door in and sat next to Shen Qingyan, reassuring Shen Qingyan.
"Yin Qi, I don't understand, why did Concubine Li harm Mengtong." Shen Qingyan frowned and held Yin Qi's hand. Concubine Li knew the true situation of Yin Qi, even if she harmed her, Shen Qingyan could understand it, but she wanted to harm Mengtong, who couldn't be beaten by eight poles.
"She's giving us a kick." Yin Qihui held Shen Qingyan's hand and cooled his face, "She's telling us that she can't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes." Although the third brother is not favored by the old man, and he himself has no quarrel with the world, his children are not necessarily. Concubine Li will never allow any factors that hinder Yin Yuan, including the third brother's children, and me. ”
"So, next, it's us." Shen smiled bitterly and buried his head in Yin Qi's arms, "This poisonous woman! I've never been afraid of her, and I'm not afraid that I'll be hurt, but I'm afraid that the people around me will be hurt, including Mengtong, and you. Shen Qingyan raised his head and looked at Yin Qi's eyes, and the worry in his eyes was clear.
"I'm going to be fine, trust me." Yin Qi held Shen Qingyan's face and dropped a kiss.
In Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Li wore her hair loose, leaned lazily on the couch, held a silver skewer in her hand, picked up a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into her mouth, and the moment she bit it, the juice overflowed.
"How's it going?" Concubine Li asked lazily while chewing watermelon.
"According to the report from the secret agent, after the third prince and the three blessings entered the prince's mansion, they never came out." Concubine Li's henchman, Hibiscus, bowed respectfully and replied.
"Heh, this palace wants to see how capable this Yin Qi is, and he can bring the fetus back to life." Concubine Li took a silk handkerchief and gently wiped her pink lips that were wet with juice, and smiled disdainfully.
"Niangniang......" Mu Hibiscus looked at Concubine Li, who was leaning on the couch leisurely, and stopped talking a little.
"To put it bluntly, you have been with me for so long, don't you know my character." Concubine Li asked Hibiscus with a smile, Hibiscus grew up with her since she was a child, and the person she trusted the most was Hibiscus.
"Niangniang, the emperor is now in the Hehuan Palace, with that dream." Mu Hibiscus said the words that were held in her heart, and she was a little angry for Concubine Li. Meng'er was the palace trick who led the dance, but when she was seen tonight, the lascivious emperor immediately entered her bed.
"Hongu guessed." Concubine Li just responded lightly, with no emotion on her face, and her black hair was curled in her hand.
"Isn't the mother angry?" Hibiscus was puzzled.
"Angry? It turned out that it would, but now I found out that it is not worth it at all, there are a few men in the world who do not like the new and hate the old, let alone the emperor of the Ninety-Five. That man, who has long lost his favor for this palace, even if he doesn't have that dream today, he will have it in the future, and he can't be angry. ”
"The slave is really not worth it." Hibiscus frowned, looking at Concubine Li with some distress.
"Yes, it's not worth it, as long as this palace is only a princess for a day, it's not worth it." Concubine Li looked at the hibiscus with a smile, and her beautiful eyes were sharp.
In the Hehuan Palace, Yin Xiao was lying on the soft couch drunk and dreaming of death, and the bright candlelight everywhere passed through the water-red gauze curtains, and the atmosphere became more and more ambiguous. Meng'er was only wearing a thin undershirt and snuggled up to Yin Xiao's body, and Yin Xiao enjoyed Meng'er's coquettishness very much.
"Your Majesty, Meng'er has cultivated the blessing of several lifetimes before she can meet the emperor." Meng'er looked at Yin Xiao with a pair of watery eyes, and looked straight into Yin Xiao's heart, which made Yin Xiao even more pity.
"It's my blessing to meet the true destiny now." Yin Xiao hugged Meng'er's young and fresh waist and sighed contentedly, "Tomorrow, I will make you a dream concubine and enter the Hehuan Palace." ”
"Emperor Xie has mercy." Meng'er was moved to drop a drop of crystal tears, even more pitiful, delicate and moving, looking at Yin Xiao's eyes full of admiration.
Yin Xiao turned over and hugged Meng'er in his arms, and once again fell into the warm fragrance and warm jade.
The next day, the eunuch pinched his voice and spread Meng'er's holy decree to every corner of the palace. Even the most humble palace maid knows that the emperor is very fond of this official concubine Meng, and the wedding adopts the gift of the pepper room that even Li Guifei has never used, and although Li Guifei can be regarded as a few steps to sit in the position of the concubine, it also starts from the nobles, this is the dream concubine is directly sealed as a concubine, which is enviable, and can't help but feel embarrassed for Li Guifei, who has been favored for half a lifetime, and when she is finally old and decrepit, that little affection is not comparable to the young beauty after all.
As the person with the highest status in the harem at this time, Concubine Li was naturally the first to know about Concubine Meng. When she received the decree, she just smiled calmly and accepted it generously.
At this time, Concubine Li sat in front of the dresser, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, still so captivating, beautiful and luxurious, with the charm of a mature woman. Li Guifei stroked her cheeks and smiled, the thin lines that appeared at the corners of her eyes added some flaws to this beautiful face, Li Guifei looked at those fine lines, gritted her teeth, forced herself to smile, picked up the gouache on the table, smeared it on the corners of her eyes, smeared it, and her makeup was wet with a tear.
"Concubine Meng's mother has arrived!" The eunuch at the door suddenly reported that the unprepared concubine was a little panicked, but she quickly calmed down again, quickly wiped away her tears, and took gouache to make up for the makeup, as usual.
"Sister meets sister." Concubine Meng's powder blue gown, her hair is delicately slanted, only a few light hairpins are pinned but they are very fresh and refreshing, only a layer of light fat powder is applied, and there is a shallow smile on her face, delicate and lovely.
"Sister, please get up." Concubine Li did not show any emotion, but she was kind but majestic, and she did not lose her identity as a concubine.
"Sister, this is the golden crisp made by my sister for my sister, it is a specialty of my sister's hometown, and I invite my sister to smile." Concubine Meng didn't do anything stupid because she was favored, she knew that no matter how favored she was, she would not be able to fight against Concubine Li, and the emperor would not abandon Concubine Li for himself.
Concubine Li looked at the tray placed on the table by the palace maid, on which were white jade plates, and there were several delicate pastries in it, which were crispy and delicious at a glance.
"It seems that my sister's skills need to be strengthened." Concubine Li picked up a piece of golden crisp and raised her eyebrows, "Sister will also send some pastries over another day, sister must study hard." ”
"Sister Xie, sister taught." Concubine Meng was not dissatisfied with Concubine Li's attitude, and saluted very respectfully, and left Chuxiu Palace.
