Chapter Eighty-Three: The Concubine is Calculated
When Xiangyun came back with Imperial Doctor Liu, Concubine Yu had finished her meal and rested on the couch.
Yun Ling was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the table next to her, and her heart was full of mixed tastes!
"Lord Yu, Lord Yu?"
Xiangyun called softly twice, and Concubine Yu squinted her eyes and snorted, "You're back?" Then, he took the initiative to stretch out his arm.
Xiangyun beckoned to Imperial Physician Liu and motioned for him to hurry up and check his pulse. Imperial Physician Liu has been in the palace for thirty years, and he has never seen any kind of wind and rain, and he stepped forward to check the pulse of the concubine without changing his face.
Although Imperial Physician Liu did not speak, Xiangyun could see from his eyes that the situation of Concubine Yu was not good.
Concubine Yu is pregnant and can't sleep, Orange Creek is Yu Lan's poison, and has repeatedly rejected the emperor's favor, Concubine Xiang is also a lot more low-key because of Hongtai's affairs, except for the occasional unfavored one who is often in Shu promised the house, the rest of the favor has fallen on Concubine Yu, and she is no longer jealous. Oh, yes! The harem has been peaceful for so long, and if there is no more trouble, it is really not a harem.
"Doctor Liu, don't just shake your head, you have something to say!" Xiangyun was so anxious that her hands were sweating.
"Concubine Yu Niangniang's kidney qi is deficient, blood qi is lacking, and the dragon fetus is also making a lot of trouble in the belly, Yu Zhu's body is good, but Weichen doesn't understand, why is this happening? Is there something wrong with the diet? Doctor Liu looked puzzled.
"No! The doctor said last time that Lord Yu was a little anemic, and he had been taking medicine to nourish blood and qi, and his diet was also blood and qi. Xiangyun frowned and returned.
"The dragon fetus is all right, right?" Concubine Yu asked weakly.
"Hui Yu Lord, judging from the current situation, the dragon fetus is fine, but I am afraid that the body of the Yu lord will continue to be weak like this, and even if the dragon fetus can be safely hindered to term, I am afraid that the Yu lord will no longer be able to be angry! I can't imagine the consequences! Can Miss Xiangyun bring the prescriptions and dregs of blood and qi to Weichen to take a look? ”
"Good, good!" Xiangyun should go out of the door.
"Imperial Doctor Liu, no matter what, you have to help Bengong keep the child in her belly." Concubine Yu listened to Doctor Liu's words, and began to worry, she touched her stomach, the child kicked her heavily, she felt that the child was begging her, begging her to protect him, she felt very uncomfortable.
"Wechen should do his best."
While speaking, Xiangyun took the medicine residue and entered the house with the prescription, and Imperial Physician Liu looked at the prescription with it, and muttered in his mouth, is there nothing wrong? He looked through the medicine jar again, and found something in the black medicine residue, which was not in the prescription, he took it in his hand and smelled it, and tasted it again, "Almonds? ”
Xiangyun picked up the prescription in his hand and looked at it, "Imperial Doctor Liu, there are no almonds here?" ”
"Yes! Almonds are a big taboo for pregnant women! Presumably the person who was careless about this matter, did not grind the almonds, and left this small grain, to see that someone wanted to harm the lord Yu and the dragon fetus in her belly! ”
Concubine Yu didn't understand, she didn't offend anyone! is cautious in what she says and does on weekdays, who would harm her so deliberately.
"Lord Yu, then Weichen will go and tell the emperor about this."
Concubine Yu was uncomfortable in her heart, she was scared, she was confused for a while, she didn't know what to do, it would be good if Sister Tong was here, she thought in her heart.
"Master Yu, do you have an idea?" Seeing that the concubine was silent, Xiangyun urged her to say.
"Let Hongu think about ......"
Concubine Yu raised her hand to Xiangyun and told her to keep quiet.
Let's check it out, I'm afraid that the bad person will already think of a way out, at most find out a shrimp to blame, and then he will definitely find ways to harm her. If you don't check, will you just see the person who poisoned her and get away with it. No, she had to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang, pretending to understand in her heart, but pretending to be confused on her face.
"No, I also ask Imperial Physician Liu to keep the palace a secret and not let more people know. Xiangyun, get some silver reward for Imperial Physician Liu. ”
Imperial Physician Liu thanked the reward, took the silver, and told the concubine to bask in the sun more and absorb more fresh air, saying that it was good for the child, and then went out of the door of Jingyang Palace.
Xiangyun's stomach was full of doubts, and she was about to open her mouth.
"Xiangyun, you go and bring in the person in charge of decoction." Concubine Yu already has a plan in her heart.
The person in charge of decocting the medicine was called Ginkgo, and Xiangyun dragged her to Concubine Yu, who knelt down in front of Concubine Yu and trembled all over. Concubine Yu put the jar of medicine residue and let Xiangyun put it in front of her, and then stared at her like this, staring at her deadly, without saying a word.
The atmosphere was a little scary, and Ginkgo was numb when she was stared at, and finally she couldn't hold it back, "Master Yu, Master Yu, the slave is at fault!" ”
"What, know what you did wrong? Don't use this palace to torture? ”
"It's the slave and the maid who accidentally put what shouldn't be put into the main medicine, the slave and the slave, the slave and the maid apologize for their sins with death." Ginkgo said as she got up and wanted to hit the couch. Fortunately, Xiangyun reacted quickly and grabbed her. "O master! Let the slave die! ”
"I'd rather die than confess the mastermind, presumably the person you care about has fallen into her hands! You don't want to think about it, this person is so vicious, you think that if you die, she will let your family go? You might as well tell this palace, and this palace won't pull her out, just be careful. This palace will secretly send you out of the palace on the grounds that you are seriously ill, so that you and the people you care about will fly away and spend the rest of your life incognito. You're so considerate! "Concubine Yu moved her affection to Ginkgo, who had broken down, and knew her reasoning.
Only then did Ginkgo calm down her excitement, think twice, and finally speak, "Yes...... It's Concubine Xiang. ”
"Is that her?" Concubine Yu was surprised by Ginkgo's answer, but she didn't believe it even more, although Concubine Xiang had a high position and had grown up with Brother Hongtai, she had always followed the rules and never seen the slightest disgust.
"It's true, in order to thank the master for his kindness, the slave and maid should tell the truth, even those almonds were given by Xiaobi in front of Concubine Xiang." Ginkgo biloba is genuine, and it doesn't look like it's lying.
"Okay! Xiangyun, you go and arrange for Ginkgo biloba to leave the palace! The main palace will rest for a while. Oh! By the way, where do you connect each time? "After such a toss today, the concubine, who was already weak and weak, was very weak.
"Behind the rockery in the Imperial Garden." After Ginkgo thanked her, she followed Xiangyun out of the door, and Yun Ling, who had been watching the play, saw that the two of them were gone, so she came forward to serve Concubine Yu to rest.
When Orange Creek learned about this, she was completely furious. "What a ruthless Concubine Xiang, I thought she was just embarrassing a little palace maid for her son, but she didn't think that she would have the idea of a concubine, this harem! It's really not that you don't cause trouble, and things may not be a place that doesn't cause trouble. Yuhe, you go to the Tai Hospital to find a doctor, and ask him to find out who has been begging for almonds in large quantities recently, remember to be careful, don't let others find out. ”
Yuhe received the order and retreated, and Yu Lan was about to ask Orange Creek why she didn't let her go. Who knew that Orange Creek seemed to see through her, and she didn't have to speak, "You can rest well in the future, and leave these things to the people below." ”
Orange Creek reversed the priorities and personally helped Yu Lan to sit down on the couch to rest, Yu Lan felt ashamed and wanted to get up and apologize. Orange Creek lifted her up half of her body again and pressed her back onto the couch.
"I ......"
"Shhhhh......h ”
Yu Lan had no choice but to relax her stalemate body, obey Orange Creek's arrangement, and rest obediently on the couch, bored, and do nothing every day, which is indeed quite boring.
"Sister Yu! You have done a good job in this matter, with a small almond, when it comes to the emperor, he may not believe it, not to mention, who is that? For the sake of his relatives, the decoction of medicine will definitely rather die than come out to testify, the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, we have to guard against it secretly. Orange Creek said earnestly.
"It seems that Sister Tong thought of going with her sister." The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and Orange Creek's previous anger disappeared.
Ginkgo really didn't lie, Yuhe brought back the news from the Tai Hospital, and the doctor looked through the recent records of taking medicine, and determined that Xiaobi of Changchun Palace would go to the Tai Hospital every five days to ask for a large amount of almonds on the grounds that Concubine Xiang was coughing.
Orange Creek thought, why not come and get the stolen goods, she asked the doctor to pay attention, and once Xiaobi went to get the almonds again, he would immediately come and tell her.
A few days later, Xiaobi went to the Tai Hospital to ask for almonds, and the doctor secretly noticed it and hurried to Kunning Palace to report the news. After hearing this, Orange Creek immediately came to the spirit, "Yuhe, you will rush to the rockery, wait for that Xiaobi to come to give you a joint, if she asks you why you are not Ginkgo biloba, you will say, Ginkgo is sick, let you come for her, and you don't need to say much about the rest." ”
Yuhe rushed to the rockery in response, seriously, Xiaobi was already waiting there, Yuhe's heart was pounding, and she was afraid that she would mess things up. She saw Xiaobi from afar, but she didn't dare to step forward.
A group of eunuchs who secretly followed behind Yuhe at the behest of Orange Creek, saw Yuhe stopping, stomped their feet in a hurry, and muttered in their hearts, "I said Yuhe!" You'd better go! ”
Yuhe calmed down her mood, settled down, and walked towards Xiaobi.
"Sister Xiaobi is well!"
Xiao Bi turned her back when she heard the voice, and hurriedly hid the apricot bag in her hand behind her, "Oh! It's the jade lotus of Kunning Palace! Is there something wrong? ”
"Ginkgo biloba is sick, entrusted by her, to come to Xiao Bi to take almonds." Yuhe can be regarded as worthy of Orange Creek's trust, and it is impossible to find fault with it.
"Take it out! What are you rubbing about? Listen, Concubine Xi has an order, as soon as the almonds are in hand, she will immediately go up and get someone. The eunuch who took the lead said to the few little eunuchs behind him.
Listening to Yuhe's words, Xiaobi hesitated for a while, no, this matter is not right, this kind of head-losing thing, how can Ginkgo tell others. "Are you stunned? What are you talking about! Completely incomprehensible. "After that, he turned around and left.
"Alas...... How did you go, how can you go back to give an errand to Concubine Xi. The eunuch said to himself, his heart was anxious.
Seeing Xiaobi go, Yuhe still chased Xiaobi and called her name, but Xiaobi didn't look back, and her steps were faster.
Seeing Xiaobi go away, everyone returned to Kunning Palace to resume their lives, Orange Creek listened to everyone's words, and she knew in her heart that her strategy of getting the stolen goods was seen through by the other party. What a powerful Lord! Even the palace maid in charge is so smart, "I'm afraid the road in the future will be even more difficult!" ”
