Chapter 191: Into the urn
The silver charcoal in the inner room was burning, and there was a crackling sound from time to time.
Pushing the door in, the warmth dispelled a lot of coldness.
Zhuang Yanchen walked straight to the warm tent. Qingli and Bingling hurriedly opened Xiangluo, and on the bed, Cen Muning's face was flushed, and his head was covered with cold sweat.
"Why did it burn so badly?" Zhuang Chenchen stepped forward and touched it, and the skin touched by his palm was hot, but the man was trembling, curled up like a rabbit who had been pitiful.
"The queen mother prayed for the queen mother until late at night last night, maybe she was so infected with the wind cold." Qingli said worriedly: "The slave maid's persuasion was ineffective, and the mother said that she was grounded and could not go to Fengluan Hall to serve in person, so she could only do these things for the queen mother." ”
Speaking of this, her nose was sore, her eyes were red, and she knelt down straight and looked up at the emperor. "Master, the slave has been serving by the queen's side, the mother has really never poisoned General Chu, and she will not be like the rumors that are all over the harem now, knowing that she will definitely die, so she will murder the queen mother, isn't this nonsense?"
Zhuang Zhenchen looked at her with a handful of snot and tears, and she couldn't help but be aggrieved. "Why is there such a rumor in the harem?"
"Isn't it?" Bingling also knelt down with Qingli and said aggrievedly: "The minions who got up early to deliver the ingredients are still discussing, saying that the queen mother knew that she couldn't hide this time, so she was so anxious to pull the queen mother on the road." Fortunately, Niangniang was sick and didn't hear such words, otherwise she wouldn't have to live a good life. ”
"Liang Bao." Zhuang Chen's eyes tightened, and his tone was cold and hard: "It's time to brush the tongue of the harem." ”
"Yes." Liang Bao understood what the emperor meant, and immediately retreated.
Zhuang Chenchen held Cen Muning's hand that was clenched tightly into a fist, and frowned: "I know that Chu Peiyuan's matter has nothing to do with her, so how can I investigate it." It's just that in order to block the old stubborn mouths in the court, the queen had to be grounded. ”
"The slave understands that this is what the mother wants." Qingli choked up and said: "Niangniang hopes to calm down some turmoil, don't embarrass you, master." What's more, the grounding was not a great punishment in the first place. With the lessons of the past, those minions did not dare to treat the mother badly. But at this time, such ugly rumors suddenly came out, and I am afraid that not only will not be able to calm the turmoil, but will also intensify......"
"I see." Zhuang Chenchen saw that she was crying pitifully, and couldn't help frowning: "What do you look like when you cry, go wash your face and bring the queen's medicine." ”
"Yes." Qing Li and Bingling got up and retreated one after another.
Zhuang Chenchen looked at Cen Muning, who was trembling on the bed, and couldn't help sighing: "There is no woman around me who is not hardworking." If the queen mother is like this, if you are like it, so will you. ”
Cen Muning vaguely heard him mention Zixuan's name, and her eyebrows tightened. But she couldn't hear what he was saying. In short, the hotter her body, the colder she felt. The cold sweat that kept breaking out on his body wet his clothes.
Qingli brought the medicine: "Your Majesty, the medicine is boiled." ”
Zhuang Yanchen sat at the head of the bed, hugged the soft Cen Mu in his arms, slightly erected her back, and gently pinched her chin with his hand, making her mouth open slightly. "Blow it warm and then feed it."
"Yes." Qingli was happy in his heart, the master was so nervous about the queen's mother, which showed that he was affectionate to the mother. With this rare sincerity, Niangniang will definitely be able to turn the danger into a disaster. It's finally not in vain to waste Niangniang's bitter plan.
Bingling was holding the honey and watching quietly, she was very uneasy in her heart.
than Qingli has served the queen longer, and she knows better that Miss's bitter plan is not just to get the emperor's mercy. More often than not, they forced people hiding in the shadows to take action. But what kind of ability does this person have to behave like this in the palace without being noticed by the emperor, Bingling really doesn't dare to think about it. I'm afraid that if something goes wrong......
She was thinking about it and suddenly heard a "woo".
Cen Muning spit out the medicine she had just drunk, staining Zhuang Xianchen's dragon robe.
"Ah, the slave maid will prepare hot water, and then let people get clean clothes for the emperor." Bingling hurriedly put down the honey and saluted to prepare to retreat.
"That's fine." Zhuang Chenchen frowned slightly: "Let people prepare fragrant soup, and I will accompany the queen to take a medicinal bath." ”
"Yes." Bingling didn't expect the emperor to cherish the queen so much, her heart was slightly relieved, and she walked out of the inner room with a smile.
Fengling Hall was so busy, and the few palace people were busy boiling water and preparing fragrant soup, and people came and went.
In an inconspicuous corner, Yin Li sneered, turned around and asked Cang Lian: "You have seen it all, right?" The emperor really cares about the queen, it's not that you can make the queen fall out of favor or even die with some tricks. ”
Cang Lian was a little angry, but she didn't say anything.
Yin Li could see that her face was not good, and she smiled coldly: "What? Are you going to keep fighting? ”
"You have to take care of it!" Cang Lian didn't give him a good face.
"I don't want to take care of it, it's better if you don't let me take care of it." Yin Li said disdainfully: "But if I hadn't covered up the traces for you, would you really think you could do whatever you want in this deep palace?" ”
"That's all you have, what are you proud of?" Cang Lian glanced at him with contempt: "If I don't achieve what I want to do, you won't have a chance to accomplish what you want to do." ”
"What the hell are you going to do?" Yin Li frowned: "Forget it, I don't care what you want to do." might as well put it another way, even if you really succeed in your plan and make the queen suffer a loss, or even lose favor, once the master knows the thoughts you used behind your back, do you think he can still accept you? Don't say anything else, just talk about Chu Peiyuan, he takes care of you in every way, and even does not hesitate to give up his future and abandon the halo brought by the Chu family, but also to be good to you, turn his face, and become a ghost under your dagger, do you think the master can sleep peacefully with a woman like you? ”
"Shut up." Cang Lian's eyes were round, and there was a blood-red glow in them, which was really frightening.
Yin Li retracted his voice and turned his head to look at the door of the inner room.
The door was opened by Qingli and Bingling, and Zhuang Chenchen slowly walked out of it with Cen Muning, who was wrapped in brocade.
His expression was gentle and calm, and it could even be said that he was a little cautious, which was the feeling of pampering.
Cang Lian just looked at Zhuang Chenchen's face, from clear to vague, to the news in front of her, it may only be a short moment, but the pain is enough to spread all over her body, making her worse than dead.
"Where are you going?" Yin Li saw her turn around and leave, and asked in a low voice.
"It's none of your business." Cang Lian didn't look back, and quickly disappeared from Yin Li's sight.
"Alas......" Yin Li sighed, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart. She's not going to just let it go......"
Three days, three days of peace, as if everything had returned to before the mercy appeared.
Cen Muning's body slowly got better, and every night, Zhuang Xianchen would take advantage of the night to avoid people's eyes and ears to accompany her.
That feeling, extra warm. But it only lasted three days.
On the fourth night, the emperor asked Liang Bao to come over secretly to inform him, saying that there was an urgent military situation to deal with, and asked Cen Muning to rest early.
"It's fine." Cen Muning smiled slightly, and asked Bingling to stuff a bag of silver to Liang Bao.
Liang Bao thanked him happily and quietly left the Fengling Palace.
At this time, Qingli came over a little angrily, holding the new spring clothes sent by the Internal Affairs Bureau, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"What's wrong with you?" Bingling looked at her like that, and couldn't help but hook her lips: "Okay, what are you angry with a few clothes." ”
"Where am I angry with my clothes?" Qingli gritted his teeth and said: "Niangniang, look, this dress looks gorgeous, and the material is good, but those embroidery girls are lazy, and the place where the double thread is sewn inside is only a single thread once, and that's it, there is no inner layer." The flowers on this spring dress are embroidered with gold and silver threads, not lined, and worn close to the body, which will definitely wear the skin uncomfortable. Don't they understand such a little truth? This is clearly the same old problem again, it's only been a few days, they dare to bully people like this, it's really unreasonable. ”
Bingling took the clothes and looked through them carefully, and it was indeed as Qing Li said: "Indeed, if such clothes are not lined, they must be uncomfortable to wear." In this way, it is still early in the sky, you send it to the Internal Affairs Bureau at this time, so that they can quickly find the embroidery lady to reform, and send it back in two days, and it will not delay the mother to wear it. ”
"It's fine." Qingli nodded slightly: "Then the slave will go." ”
Cen Muning didn't make a sound, just nodded gently.
Qingli held those clothes and turned away angrily.
"Mother, it's time to take medicine." Bingling brought the medicine bowl and sent it to the queen: "The medicine is warm, it's just right to eat at this time." ”
"Hmm." Cen Mooning frowned: "The prescription prescribed this time is particularly bitter. If you eat it, your stomach will be uncomfortable. Well, go to the kitchen and get some candied pastries and prepare a bowl of honey. ”
"Yes." Bingling smiled helplessly at her: "Niangniang is still so afraid of hardship, the same as when she was a child." ”
Cen Muning didn't make a sound, just smiled back. This meaningful smile made Bingling's heart contract violently. Is it true that someone has assassinated her, and whether that person has really been unable to bear it, tonight is the best time to verify.
Bingling turned and walked out of the room, closing the door gently, and although her face looked no different from usual, her heart was trembling violently.
In the inner room, Cen Muning couldn't help but be a little excited. One mystery after another, framed again and again, when she kept sketching in her mind what the person who hated her was like, the answer was also approaching her step by step.
The door of the inner room was suddenly gently pushed open by someone, making a creaking sound.
Cen Muning asked casually, "Why did you come back so soon?" Have you prepared the honey too? ”
She got up, and was just about to open the curtain when a long sword suddenly pierced through Xiangluo, and the blade was against her throat.
