Chapter 268: Painful Memories (Part 2)
When Gu Mingzhu got out of the carriage, Mama Han was already waiting in front of the mansion with someone, and when she saw her, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and bowed down on her knees: "The county lord is well." ”
She hugged Mama Han and said with a smile: "Mama, I've been worried about you for so long." ”
These days, Mama Han often let people bring news into the palace, just because she was afraid that Gu Mingzhu was not familiar with the rules of the palace and was not used to life in the palace. ”
Gu Mingzhu looked up and saw the plaque on the door of the mansion, the plaque of the East Mansion had been removed and replaced with the plaque of the Lingling County Lord's Mansion with ebony gilt, and everything seemed to be completely new.
She smiled and took Mama Han and the others into the house together.
Looking at the hot golden custards, dragon and phoenix cakes, and soup in front of him, Gu Mingzhu couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "Mama, where did I use so much by myself." ”
Mama Han was not enough, so she instructed the maid to bring the jade dew ball up: "It's all the county lord's favorite use, and the food maid in the palace also knows, where is the fine in the house, these days the county lord has been wronged, and when he returns to the house, he naturally has to make up for it, and he has lost a lot of weight." ”
Looking at this fragrant delicacy, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help pinching her face, obviously there was more meat, but Mama wanted to say that she was thin, so she had to smile bitterly: "Mama bothered." ”
She used some of it, and gave the extra rewards to Mama Han, Xiaokui Abi and others, so that she could be regarded as finishing the dishes on this table.
When it was time to clean up, Gu Mingzhu said to Mama Han: "Can the person who asked Mama to find it before?" ”
After she checked the records of the year in the Shanggong Bureau, she asked people to bring the news back home, and asked Mama Han to ask someone to inquire about who delivered the eldest princess of Xuanyang back then, and who the medical officer on duty was, and they all wanted to inquire clearly.
Mama Han's face was solemn, and she said in a low voice: "I remember the events of the year clearly, I invited the stable woman in the palace to deliver the baby, and the medical officer on duty was the Yang Yuan of the Imperial Medical Department, and the maid ordered someone to inquire, and the stable woman Du Mama and Mama Cheng who delivered the baby back then have already left the palace to care for the elderly, but Mama Cheng has died not long after leaving the palace, and Mama Du also does not know where to go." ”
"The maid dragged out a lot of relationships, and asked the maid who used to be an errand in the palace together, but she couldn't find her, as if she didn't know where she went after leaving the palace."
Gu Mingzhu couldn't help frowning, ordinary palace officials and female officials left the palace to buy a house by themselves, or went to Rong'anfang, a place dedicated to the elderly in the palace, but one of the two midwives died of illness, and the other did not know where to go, and they couldn't find it, which is also a strange thing.
"What about the medical officer?" she asked. Can you find it? ”
Mama Han nodded this time, and just said: "Yang Yuanju has also died old, and there is a mansion in Guiyifang, but Yang Yuanju didn't come into the courtyard that night, just waited in the front yard, I'm afraid I don't know what it is." ”
Gu Mingzhu nodded, a woman will not let the medical officer enter the delivery room during childbirth, and inviting the medical officer to come is just to ask for peace of mind, I am afraid that this Yang Yuan judge really doesn't know anything.
But Wen Po can't be found anymore, how to find out what happened back then.
She frowned and thought for a long time before she said, "Who else was with A-Niang back then?" ”
Mama Han sighed softly: "In addition to the maid, the eldest princess was waiting for Qiu Ju and Dong Mei, Dong Mei was serving on the tea water, and the eldest princess did not go in when she gave birth, but stayed outside to arrange hot water and chores, and only the maid and Qiu Ju were waiting in front of her." ”
She smiled lightly, her smile was full of sentimentality: "It's just that after the accident with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Qiu Ju hung Liang and martyred the lord and followed, and only the maid survived alone......"
After that, his eyes were already red, and his voice was choked.
Gu Mingzhu felt uncomfortable too, and said in a low voice: "Mama has done her best to take care of me for A-Niang all these years, A-Niang has a spirit in the sky, she must be grateful, Mama doesn't have to be sad." ”
Mama Han wiped her tears and said softly: "The events of that year, the maid still remembers them clearly. Since the first emperor fell ill in the Eastern Capital, and was sent back to the Taiji Hall to recuperate, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has been worried, because she was pregnant for nearly nine months, and her body was really inconvenient, and it took two days to enter the palace to ask the first emperor to say goodbye. ”
"Since returning from the palace, the maid felt that there was something wrong with His Royal Highness, and he looked depressed and sad every day, and refused to leave the maid to wait in front of him, only Qiu Ju's work was done well, His Royal Highness kept her in the room to be a female red, saying that she was going to make a small coat for the county lord, but she was in a hurry to do so many pieces, and the maid also asked His Highness, how to do so much, it was clearly a robe worn by a full-year-old child, but His Royal Highness said that it was prepared earlier while there was nothing to do, and now I think about it, I am afraid that His Royal Highness has a premonition at that time......"
Mama Han's voice was hoarse, full of grief and sadness: "It was only a few days after His Royal Highness returned from the palace that the first emperor was critically ill in the palace. ”
"On the day of the death of the first emperor, the news came out of the palace, His Royal Highness almost fainted, and lay on the couch for several days, unable to enter the palace to cry, but after all, he still had a fetal gas, and he was about to give birth."
She recalled the nightmare-like past, and tears flowed down: "It's just that the county lord has not been in the basin at that time, and His Royal Highness has broken the water again, and he can't give birth for a while, and it is very critical. ”
Gu Mingzhu had already tightened her sleeves when she heard this, her heart was full of panic, she could almost imagine how her aunt struggled on the edge of life and death in order to give birth to her, it was so painful and difficult, her heart was like a knife.
"At that time, I really didn't know what to do, seeing that it was getting more and more critical, or Her Royal Highness the eldest princess came to her senses and asked Qiu Ju to go out and bring a bowl of soup and medicine to eat, so that she had the strength to hold on, and let Wen Po forcibly push the county lord into the basin, so that there was hope."
Gu Mingzhu was stunned and felt a little strange: "Where did the decoction come from?" Was it prescribed by a medical officer? ”
Mama Han shook her head: "It was His Royal Highness who asked Qiu Ju to prepare it early in the morning, saying that it was a secret medicine in the palace, and the maid had never seen it." ”
