Chapter XI

The queen coughed and said, "It's not Zhongyu, it's my sister Jiamin." ”

"What?" The emperor was a little surprised.

The queen smiled and said, "Congjia, you and Jiamin were in front of my eyes a few days ago, although I am sick and can't talk to her too much, but looking at Jiamin's demeanor, it seems that I am interested in you, and I think you are also affectionate to Jiamin." ”

The emperor shook his head and said, "Emperor E, I asked Jiamin to come to the palace to serve you, I have never seen her before, what kind of affection can I have for her?" If I take extra care of her, it is because she is your own sister and looks similar to you, I love the house and Wu! ”

The queen said with a straight face: "Congjia, Jiamin looks similar to me, but she is younger, she has been smart and clever since she was a child, if she marries another man, I will never rest assured, if I marry you, I will die and be blind." In the past few days, I have seen you get along, not only the affection of my brother-in-law and my little sister, especially Jiamin, she was raised in the deep boudoir and has never been in contact with a man with a foreign surname. In the future, if you don't have me to accompany you, let Jia Min accompany you. ”

The emperor turned his face away and said, "Emperor E, don't say any more, just take care of your illness." ”

The queen said no more, and lay down quietly, and after an unknown amount of time, she finally fell asleep.

It's another morning.

It was a year with a lot of rain. Shortly after the last heavy rain, another heavy rain came.

The day before, it was a beautiful day, but at noon this day, the sky was suddenly shrouded in gray-white clouds, and soon the rain fell to the ground.

Jia Min lay on the bed with her eyes closed, only to feel that it was dark. When he first came to the palace, an earth-shattering event happened, Jia Min was physically and mentally exhausted, grief-stricken, and he had been sick for several days, and he still didn't seem to be getting better.

Through the thin curtain, she heard the muffled voices of Cai Ling and Ruxue.

Ruxue asked: "Your box of rouge is so good-looking, it doesn't look like you can buy it usually, where did it come from?" ”

Cai Ling replied: "Naturally, it was sent by someone else." ”

Ruxue quipped, "Don't it be given by any guard, right?" Teach and accept privately, be careful that Miss Zhou pulls you out to get married! ”

Cai Ling said: "Eh, you are really, see if I don't beat you." ”

Through the curtain, Jia Min heard the chasing and slapping of the two little girls, and was playing, when suddenly the curtain of the outer room was opened, and Aunt Su walked in: "What are you doing?" I don't serve Miss Zhou well, I just know that I'm having fun! ”

Cai Ling bowed her head and defended: "Aunt Su atoned for her sins, Miss Zhou fell asleep, so we had to play for a while." ”

Aunt Su ignored her, walked in by herself, opened the curtain, walked to Jiamin's bed, and called: "Girl, wake up, girl......"

Jia Min wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them, and she wanted to speak, but she couldn't speak, so Aunt Su pushed her arm with her hand, and pushed her several times, and Jia Min finally struggled to wake up.

"Aunt Su?" Jia Min said dryly.

"Girl, it's a slave. Does the girl want to drink water? Aunt Su asked earnestly.

"No, I drank too much water, I always wanted to go conveniently, I didn't have the strength." Jia Min said, coughing dryly.

"Then you can't just stop drinking water in order not to get out of bed, so as to moisten your throat." Aunt Su said, so she went to find the teapot and poured water, put the teacup on the bedside table, and then helped Jiamin up with her hand, put a pillow on her back, and brought the teacup to her mouth.

"Thank you, auntie." Jia Min said, taking a sip of water.

Aunt Su looked at Jia Min and seemed to have something to say, but she didn't say anything.

When Jia Min saw it, she cheered up and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

Aunt Su wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Girl, there have been some rumors outside these days, have you ever heard them?" ”

Jia Min's heart tightened, and said, "No, I don't know anything, what is it transmitting?" ”

Aunt Su looked out of the door, as if she was very mysterious, lowered her voice, and said, "Girl, it was said that the emperor wanted to make you a concubine, have you heard?" ”

Jia Min was taken aback and said, "No, I haven't heard this, who said this?" ”

Aunt Su said: "It's spread all over the palace, girl, be careful." As she spoke, she took out a packet of medicine from her arms, handed it to Jia Min, and said, "This is the medicine I found for the girl to go out of the palace, don't drink the old medicine." ”

Without waiting for Jia Min to ask, Aunt Su said goodbye and got up to leave.

Jia Min called Xiu Ying over and asked her, "Xiu Ying, Aunt Su came here just now and told me that the emperor wanted to make me a concubine, and she also brought me a package of medicine, I don't know what it means?" ”

Xiu Ying wondered in her heart and said, "This matter is very strange, why don't we take the old medicine to the queen and see if there is anything wrong?" ”

Jia Min turned a corner in her heart and said, "No, my sister and I are both sick, and my sister is probably also set up by others, and it is no longer safe, you still secretly take the old medicine and go outside the palace to see if there is anything wrong." ”

Xiu Ying nodded yes.

"Girl, it's time to drink the medicine." Jia Min saw Cai Ling coming in with the medicine.

Thinking of Aunt Su's words, Jia Min couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "This medicine is too bitter, I drink it every day, and those who drink it are uncomfortable." ”

Cai Ling smiled: "Girl, if you don't drink medicine, how can the illness be cured?" You better bear with it and drink the medicine. ”

Jia Min looked at the medicine bowl, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Cai Ling, you can help me get some candied fruit." ”

Cai Ling's eyes blinked unconsciously, and said, "The slave will go immediately." ”

Jia Min put the medicine bowl to her mouth, pretending to drink it, and when Cai Ling went out of the door, she sat up, got out of bed carefully, touched the medicine in the bowl with her lips, poured the medicine into the big pot of the fortune tree by the window, and then went back to the bed to sit down.

Cai Ling quickly came back with the candied fruit, saw that the medicine bowl was empty, and saw that Jia Min's lips were stained with medicinal juice, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "Girl, since ancient times, good medicine is bitter and good for disease. As he spoke, he handed the candied fruit in his hand to Jia Min, who hurriedly ate it and said, "Such a bitter medicine, if you don't eat a candied fruit, you really can't stand it." I'm sleepy, sleep for a while, you go down first. ”

When Cai Ling went out, Jia Min really slept. She thought about a lot of things in her heart, and she didn't know who gave her this problematic medicine, and she didn't know what would happen if she drank this medicine, but the more she thought about it, the clearer it became in her heart, since someone harmed her, then someone must also harm her sister, and her sister's illness was not good, there must be something wrong. She thought about the strangeness of the glass lamp falling that day, and couldn't help but think about it, the concubines she had seen and talked to were just Concubine Jiang Shu, so she first had doubts about Jiang Zhuohua in her heart, and this suspicion became stronger little by little.

Chapter XII

said that Concubine Jiang Zhuohua was there, and Sirou was serving her to comb her hair, "Concubine Shu, what do you want to comb your hair today?" ”

Jiang Zhuohua sat lazily in front of the mirror, wearing a thin cyan robe, stroked his hair with his hand, and said, "Whatever you want, the emperor won't come to me in the near future anyway." ”

Sirou hurriedly lowered her head and said, "The queen is seriously ill, the emperor only stays with the queen, and Han Jieyu and Qin Jieyu don't go there, who is not looking forward to it." ”

"Qin Jieyu? She deserves to be compared to me? As he spoke, Jiang Zhuohua threw the bronze mirror to the ground, "The mirror is so dirty, how can you see my face clearly!" You said that Han Jieyu, if it weren't for her father being Han Xizai, the servant of the ministry, would she be able to enter the palace to sort out the pipa music for the queen, if it wasn't for the emperor to see her father's face, how could he accept her? ”

"Yes, who can compare to your beauty, Lady Lady?" Sirou said, hurriedly squatted down to pick up the bronze mirror, and after picking it up, she combed Jiang Zhuohua's hair in a bun that she often combed, even if her errand was done for the time being, she stood aside and listened to the instructions.

said that Jiang Zhuohua originally wanted to go to the garden for a walk, but when she heard a familiar laughter, she frowned, and then turned her head as if nothing had happened.

"My sister's bun is really beautiful today."

"Oh, where can my ordinary bun compare to Qin Jieyu you, you dress up every day, it's really exciting! It's just that the emperor's heart is only on the queen alone, and no matter how hard my sister tries to groom herself, it won't help! ”

Jieyu Qin Yaoniang reported a modest smile and said: "What my sister said is true, but because the emperor is in the queen's place, she looks unhappy, and she doesn't even care about her own image, I'm afraid that others will see it and think that I am jealous of the queen's grace!" ”

Jiang Zhuohua listened to the thorns in these words, pointing directly at himself, and it was inevitable that anger would come from it, but it was inconvenient to attack, so he said: "The queen mother is sick now, I am worried about her all day long, I don't know how many tears I have shed, even if my face is powdered, I have to be washed with tears, no matter how neat my hair is, it doesn't look good, what's the use?" ”

The lady sighed: "What Concubine Shu said is, who can not be sad for the queen?" However, the queen's mother is deeply blessed, and she will definitely be fine, if you cry now, people who don't know still think that we cursed the queen early on, crying that her illness is difficult to cure! ”

Jiang Zhuohua heard this, and his teeth itched with hatred, but he could only smile and say: "Eh, my sister is still thoughtful, I only care about being sad, but I don't think about it so much!" ”

The lady said again: "I'm just going to see the queen mother at this time, if the emperor sees that I don't have a good look, wouldn't the mood be even worse?" That's why I changed into bright clothes, just to let the emperor not worry too much! Do you want my sister to go to Yaoguang Hall with me? ”

Jiang Zhuohua shook his head, "I won't go today, you go today, I'll go tomorrow, there are people going every day, so the queen won't be lonely." ”

The lady said: "How can the queen be lonely? Every day, there are many people who want to visit the patient, just afraid of disturbing her recuperation, I just went to sit down for a while, since my sister wants to go tomorrow, then my sister will leave first. ”

As soon as the lady left, Jiang Zhuohua scolded again: "What, I want to go to the fox emperor early in the morning, and I don't look at the time, now that the queen is sick, she still hopes that the emperor can ignore her?" What wishful thinking! As he spoke, he rubbed his chest and said, "I was half killed by this slut early in the morning, what a thing!" ”
