Chapter 247: Declaration of War
After a messy sound of cups and plates, the silence in the Weiyang Palace was terrifying.
The palace people who were waiting were all kneeling outside the door of the inner room and trembling, and no one dared to speak easily.
I smashed everything I could, and even the tables and chairs at hand were overturned. The breath of pity still did not subside, she gasped softly, and the hatred in her chest burned and rolled.
"The queen actually returned the child to Concubine Ying, is she crazy?" The voice of mercy sounded sharp, but it was not loud. It felt like a minion who was surprised to hear it.
Jingqiao dared to persuade a little at this time: "Niangniang is angry, the queen is doing this, I'm afraid she is also worried that His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor is too weak, in case something goes wrong, she can't afford it." It's better to simply return the child to Concubine Ying. First, you can avoid responsibility, if the child is lost in the hands of his own mother, it has nothing to do with others. Second, Concubine Ying received such a great favor from the queen, so she naturally knew about Entu. Third, even if Concubine Ying has no conscience and repays virtue with resentment, it doesn't hurt that she still has different intentions for the queen. The child is her lifeblood, and as long as the child is by her side, she has no energy to make trouble. Doctor Hu, who has been taking care of His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor, seems to only listen to the queen's dispatch......"
Cang Lian chuckled, her eyes full of disdain: "Your analysis is good, it is the queen's means." It's just that you're negligent a little. ”
"The slave wants to hear about it." Jingqiao saluted her respectfully.
"The queen is writing a war letter to the palace." Cang Lian bowed her head slightly, and there was a deep resentment between her eyebrows: "She just told Bengong clearly that everything doesn't matter, and the only thing she has to do now is to deal with Bengong." ”
When Jingqiao heard this, he couldn't help but nod, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again and again: "The slave thinks it may not be." The Chu family is now on the cusp, and even if the queen wants to deal with you, she always has to take care of herself first. ”
"It's a pity that those minions are useless. Not even a dying old thing can die. "Cang Lian can't help but hate the root of his teeth." No, I'll have to go to the palace......"
"Niangniang, before you wanted to leave the palace, the slave and maid were supportive. After all, it would be a good thing to be by the master's side at this time. But at the moment, I'm afraid it's not good. Jingqiao lowered his voice, worried: "We don't know where the master is now." What the situation will be on the outside is also unknown. At this time, if you are not in the palace, you are likely to be noticed by the queen mother immediately. If the queen mother secretly makes a mistake and gives a killing order, maybe you have been calculated before you find the master. Jingqiao was worried, and his tone trembled. The queen's methods, the slave has already seen. Niangniang, for the sake of safety, we might as well wait and see what happens. ”
Cang Lian looked at her worried eyes, and her heart jumped suddenly. "The queen would do such a thing...... But this palace must not be left as it is. ”
What else can be done at this time? Cang Lian couldn't swallow this breath, but it seemed that she didn't seem to have any clue to take revenge on the queen. The matter of the protector of the country has already alarmed the queen, and the Chu family is not only guarded by Yu Linwei now, but I am afraid that the queen's own people are also planted there, and if they want to do it, it is equivalent to walking into her trap.
These women in this palace are all following the queen one by one, waiting hard to catch her mistakes. I can't wait to instigate the queen to take advantage of the emperor's absence to be ruthless to her. And the queen didn't really help them.
"Jingqiao, what do you say the queen is most afraid of at this moment?" Cang Lian asked with a smile.
"The queen is naturally afraid that the Chu family will suffer and lose the emperor's favor." Jingqiao pondered slightly: "But in the final analysis, the queen is still most afraid of falling out of favor." If the Chu family is safe and sound, she is nothing more than an additional barrier. But even if the Chu family folds, as long as the emperor's favor is still there, her status will not change. ”
"It's strange to say." Cang Lian looked at Jingqiao with some puzzlement: "She has been serving the emperor since the Ruiming Palace, and now she is also a great favor." But so far, he has not been able to give birth to an heir to the emperor, what is the reason for this. Is it that the emperor is also guarding against the queen like guarding against the palace? And the reason why the queen found out about the methods used by the emperor against the palace was because she tried it herself? ”
"This ......" Jingqiao shook his head again and again: "The slave maid has been serving outside the palace in the past. It was you who returned to the palace, and the master specially ordered the slave maid to enter the palace to accompany the mother. Before this, what happened in the palace, why the queen did not have an heir, and the slaves and maids were unknown. ”
"That's it." Cang Lian sighed lightly: "If you still want to take revenge on the queen at this moment, there is only one way." ”
She walked to the vanity mirror and looked at her face: "The only thing I can use as a bargaining chip is myself." ”
"Niangniang, what do you mean ......" Jingqiao couldn't help but be a little strange.
"These days, it's as it should be. The right is that we are in awe of the majesty of the queen, and we can only be a man with our tail between our legs. Cang Lian summoned her to come over with her ear: "You go and inquire about the emperor's news cautiously, and once the royal car returns, you must inform the palace in time." In addition, to get some tricky and hard-to-get good things, the effect of the medicine is slower, and the palace wants to make the queen angry little by little. ”
"The slave understands." Jingqiao said this, but in his heart, he looked down on the concubine's methods. She is also a person trained by the Queen Mother in the past. There is nothing new in how to use such shoddy means. Don't look back, the queen is safe and sound, but she killed herself. Such a person is his own master, and it is difficult not to be burdened by her.
If you knew this, it would be better to be an errand outside the palace obediently. At least his life is safe.
Jinlai Hall is no better than Weiyang Palace.
The yard was lifeless, and the flowers and plants that could be seen were either dead branches or fallen leaves, and even the potting soil was dry and cracked, and no one took care of it at all.
Cen Muning walked slowly inside with Bingling's hand, always feeling uncomfortable up and down.
"Concubine Liao just fainted for a while, and it's not a big deal." She glanced at the palace people who came to greet her unhappily, and her tone was slightly serious: "Is this how you serve?" ”
"The queen is angry, the queen is angry." The palace people kowtowed again and again, and they were all wronged.
"Bingling, arrange for them to clean up the Jinlai Palace. Work neatly, hands and feet should be light, and don't recuperate towards Concubine Liao. Cen Mu Ning glanced back at the flowers and plants in the courtyard: "Bring the steward of the flower room here, so that he can see the current situation of the Jinlai Palace." Punish him for half a year, and look at who dares to care about the grass and trees in the master's palace in the future. ”
"The slave obeys." Bingling hurriedly summoned people to do it, and Cen Muning had already walked into the inner room.
"Queen Mother, you can count it on." She waited by Concubine Liao's bedside, and she heard the movement outside. "During the days when you were recuperating in Fengling Palace, our mother has been working diligently to check the affairs of the harem, and she will never dare to slack off. But the queen mother, you see, our mother is sick, except for you who are willing to assign a divine doctor to come to diagnose and treat, and then the concubine Gong has come to visit, the other concubines will not talk about it, and even the servants in their own palace dare to neglect ......"
"That's it." Cen Mooning walked to the side of the bed and sat down slowly. "The harem has always been like this, and it is said that it is Liao Concubine, and it is also the same situation when the palace loses power. Just look away. But Liao Concubine has never woken up? ”
"Nope." Mo Se wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "But the divine doctor said that the mother is a mother, although she has not woken up, but she has been protecting the dragon fetus in her abdomen." After the conditioning of moxibustion and moxibustion, the fetus has gradually stabilized. It's just that...... Niangniang has been sleeping like this, her body is weak, she can't eat, and it is not good for the dragon fetus, so that the slave can try to wake up Niangniang. ”
"Concubine Liao must miss her relatives very much at this time." Cen Muning frowned and asked, "Can the mother's mother be tough?" ”
"Back to the queen's mother, the lady's body has always been tough, and she is also worried about Concubine Liao. A few days ago, I came to the house to write a letter, and I also told my mother to take good care of her body, and when she could give birth to an heir for the emperor. Who knows, the emperor has an heir, but she is ......"
"In this way, the palace will arrange for someone to pick up Concubine Liao's mother into the palace. Maybe Madame can wake up Concubine Liao, but it is unknown. In short, during these days, the emperor is not in the palace, and the palace can only do its best to protect her and the child. Cen Muning glanced at Qingli.
The green plough should be lowered.
"Thank you, Queen." Moser knelt on the ground, tears crackling down: "Niangniang's great kindness, the slave will never forget, and the slave will thank the queen for the great grace of the queen for Concubine Liao." ”
"That's it, take good care of Concubine Liao and the child, and someone will tell the palace if you don't have to." Cen Muning looked at the pale Liao Concubine, and she couldn't bear it in her heart. "She has already lost a child, and I hope that this time it will be auspicious, and the mother and son will be safe."
When she came out, Cen Muning saw Bai Shuo waiting for her outside the hall.
She asked people to lead the shoulders back first, and walked side by side with Bai Shuo on the palace road paved with blue bricks and stones.
"Actually, I should have let you out of the palace, but because of Concubine Liao's matter, I can only trouble you." Cen Muning said with some uneasiness: "I expect that none of these imperial doctors in the palace have your ability. When life is at stake, this palace doesn't want to miss it. ”
"But she is your husband's concubine, and she is pregnant with your husband's child." Bai Shuo was a little curious: "If you think about their mother and son like this, aren't you afraid of the future, but they are the ones who threaten your successor?" ”
"Today does not know tomorrow." Cen Muning was very dissatisfied that he could say such a thing: "As a doctor, shouldn't you be compassionate? Is it just because they may become a threat to themselves, that they are indifferent to watching them die? ”
"The old man wants to say that being too compassionate and too kind may not be a gift to others, and it may not be a disaster to himself. Niangniang is in the back position, so she should think more. Bai Shuo looked at her worriedly: "If you want revenge, now is the best time." As long as that person is dead, the old man can make sure that he takes the mother to leave safely. As for the Chu family, the old man will find a way to save the ...... of the Protector of the Country."
"The affairs of the Chu family have nothing to do with you." Cen Muning was very dissatisfied with his "meddling". "If you are unwilling to save Concubine Liao's mother and son, this palace will think of other ways."
"Why don't you understand, I'm thinking about you." Bai Shuo couldn't help but be a little anxious: "I'm afraid that you will fall deeper and deeper, and it will be impossible to ask for the restraints brought by this deep palace in the future." Mu Ning, I'm your ......"
"Thank you very much." Cen Muning's eyes were a little cold when he looked at him: "I have already told you about my mother." Your kindness, heart, don't tell me about the Chu family and revenge in the future, these are my business, and they have nothing to do with you. If Doctor Hu is willing to treat Concubine Liao's mother and son, it is their blessing, if they are unwilling, the palace will not be reluctant, the palace gate is there, you can leave at any time. ”
After saying this, she took two quick steps, leaving Bai Shuo behind.
Bingling and Qingli quickly followed, accompanying her silently forward.
It wasn't until he returned to Fengling Hall that Bingling dared to persuade: "Niangniang doesn't have to be angry, in fact, Doctor Hu is also thinking about you." He is worried that you are in danger, so he thinks more. ”
"Bingling, I don't believe that my mother will do anything to be sorry for my father." Cen Muning wrinkled her brows and said stubbornly: "Even if my father has always treated me as a wild seed, he can't wait for my life." I also never believed in my mother's notebook, which was only distorted to cover up what she had done. I don't need him to think of me like that. My business has nothing to do with him. ”
"That's what Miss said." Bingling muttered quietly, "Madame will never be that kind of person." There must be some misunderstanding here. Oh, by the way, Niangniang, the small kitchen sent a lot of pastries, and the Internal Affairs Bureau also sent autumn clothes, all for His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor. Whether it's good or not, you'll have to see for yourself. ”
found a conversation and ended the unpleasant conversation. Bingling smiled and said, "Niangniang didn't see it, those clothes are exquisite." The material used is also soft and light, next to His Highness's young skin, as if it were against his mother's hand, but it's good. The slaves and maids asked them to bring it to you? ”
"It doesn't have to be like that." Cen Muning was not interested, but simply said: "Send them all to Concubine Ying, what kind of looks good, what kind she doesn't like, just let her pick herself." Go back and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs that if there is anything else, it will be sent directly to Piaoyingyuan, and there is no need to let the palace look at it. ”
"Niangniang......" Bingling saw that she was not interested, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke. Actually, you're still young. At the beginning, the deputy court ruled that your body can be recuperated and recovered. If you want to have a child of your own, you can't do that. It's better to wait for this matter to pass and let him take care of you. ”
"Let's talk about it when it's over." Cen Mu Ning waved his hand, a little headache: "You go and ask, where is the royal car, and what is the battle situation outside?" The palace always felt that the emperor had reservations, and his uncle did not lead the troops for a day or two. Don't mention anything else in the past two days, this palace doesn't want to hear it. ”
"Yes." Bingling and Qingli glanced at each other, one slowly retreated, and the other turned to serve hot tea.
Cen Mooning took a sip of tea and fell into deep thought again.
