Chapter 31 Bamboo Basket Fetching Water
Early the next morning, Concubine Qiong went to Changle Palace.
"Concubine Qiong, the queen hasn't gotten up yet, please wait a while-" Ripple came out of the inner room and said respectfully.
Concubine Qiong nodded and sat down on a chair beside her.
After changing the refreshments twice and the hot tea three times, Kou Shu walked out in her regular clothes: "My sister came really early, you have waited so long." β
Concubine Qiong smiled, she still couldn't hold back in her heart, and couldn't help but speak: "Queen Mother, what you said in the imperial study yesterday ......"
Kou Shu waved her hand and motioned for her not to mention this topic for the time being: "Concubine Qiong, I have always wanted to ask you. β
Concubine Qiong was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "The queen mother said it directly." β
"I have no grievances with you, why do you hate me so much? So much so that the treasures in the palace were stolen that day, and you were going to pour dirty water on my head. Kou Shu had a faint smile on her face, and she didn't seem to be angry.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Concubine Qiong's face, and her hands rubbed crampedly on her waist, not knowing how to react.
Kou Shu took a cup of tea and took a sip gently: "If you are willing to tell me the truth, I will tell you the truth about the child in your womb." If you don't want to say it, I won't force it. β
Concubine Qiong's pupils opened slightly, she didn't expect Kou Shu to propose such an exchange condition. After thinking for a moment, he said, "My sister, who was humiliated to death by Kou Yunwu's menβ"
Kou Shu narrowed her eyes slightly, motioning for Concubine Qiong to continue.
"My father and mother and I have sued the official many times, but there is no news. It is said that they were all suppressed by Kou Yunwu. β
Kou Shu was a little surprised: "My father's subordinates? Who is it? β
"That person's name is Shangguanjie, and he is from Jinzhou." A trace of anger erupted in Concubine Qiong's eyes: "Pity my little sister, Erba Shaohua, just hanging from the beam because she can't think about it." β
Concubine Qiong raised her head suddenly: "Queen Mother, you say, shouldn't I hate?" β
Kou Shu sighed lightly - when his father was here, he rarely knew about the generals he was under the army, and now that his father is dead, it is even more difficult to find out, even if he believes that his father is innocent, but Qiong Concubine's hatred is not without reason.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the person in front of her.
didn't expect Concubine Qiong to be a poor person with deep affection, but the most wrong thing about her was that she stood on Lan Ruoxuan's side. Now, I'm afraid it's too late to save myself.
Concubine Qiong took a sip of tea, took a deep breath, and said, "Queen Mother, I have already said everything about me." The implication is that Kou Shu should also fulfill her promise.
Kou Shu nodded and said, "Let me ask you, when did you first find out that you had a dragon in your belly?" Who is the Imperial Physician who takes your pulse? β
Concubine Qiong tilted her head and thought for a while: "Soon after I came back from Yilan Hall that day, I was dizzy and vomiting, and then I asked Imperial Doctor Hu to see me, and since then there has been a mismedication."
"Do you know that Concubine Lan's child at that time was also seen by Imperial Doctor Hu."
Concubine Qiong frowned, still puzzled on her face.
Mandarin Duck explained on the side: "What our mother means, that Imperial Doctor Hu is Concubine Lan's mother." β
When Concubine Qiong heard this, she still frowned, and suddenly a thought flashed, startling her into a cold sweat.
Seeing Concubine Qiong's appearance, Kou Shu knew that Concubine Qiong had guessed the truth of the matter, and nodded: "That's right, you don't have a dragon at all." β
Concubine Qiong's eyes widened suddenly, covered her mouth and gasped.
Kou Shu continued: "Do you remember the day I came to Qiongyu Pavilion and saw the medicine you were taking, and asked? β
Concubine Qiong nodded and said, "Niangniang asked the concubine if the medicine is bitter." β
"Yes, do you know why I asked?" Without waiting for Concubine Qiong to answer, Kou Shu continued, "There is a taste of snow lotus grass in that medicine, and people who have children in their womb will have a strong lack of fire, and if they take snow lotus grass, they will only feel sweet to reduce fire, and if they are weak and cold, they will feel sweet and astringent when they take this herb." β
Concubine Qiong frowned tightly, unable to imagine Kou Shu's words.
Kou Shu continued: "And you actually feel that the medicine is bitter, which is enough to show that your body cold is already very serious, just imagine, such a cold system, so it is possible that someone who is pregnant with a dragon son?" β
Putting down the tea cup in her hand, Kou Shu's expression was even more serious: "You are not pregnant at all." Everything is a trap set by Concubine Lan for you, she asked you to sleep, and then created the illusion that you were pregnant and had a miscarriage, just to take the opportunity to eradicate me or Concubine Xiao, but her abacus was not precise enough. β
"But, that Imperial Physician Hu-" Concubine Qiong still didn't want to believe it: "Besides, the Governor of the Royal Court also said-"
Kou Shu smiled coldly: "Then Imperial Doctor Hu is afraid that he has already submitted to Lan Ruoxuan, as for the Governor of the Royal Court, he has never said that you have a fetus in your womb, from beginning to end, what he said is that you have no fetus in your womb nowβas for whether there was one, he never said a word." β
Kou Shu's eyes raised slightly: "I think that the Governor of the Royal Court also guessed that there was something greasy in this, but he didn't want to be involved, so he said this ambiguous thing and made everyone misunderstand." β
Hearing this, Concubine Qiong recalled Lan Ruoxuan's expression of persuading her to marry Concubine Xiao that day, and she couldn't help but feel more and more that this matter was true. thought that he was thinking about gaining Concubine Lan's trust, but he didn't expect to be used like this in the end. Concubine Qiong couldn't help but tremble all over, her upper and lower teeth kept trembling, she couldn't hold the teacup, and with a bang, the teacup shattered on the ground.
Kou Shu sighed, if you want to talk about this Qiong Concubine, she is also a poor person: "There is one more thing, it doesn't hurt to tell you, but it doesn't matter, I have a class with Concubine Lan, and the medical knowledge we have learned is similar, as far as I know, all the drugs that can make people look like they are pregnant in the short term are all overdrawn from the original body heat in the body, and after the effect of the medicine, the body heat is completely gone, and it will be difficult to conceive a child," Kou Shu was a little unbearable, "But this may not be, if you still have the chance, go and investigate, I don't know." β
Concubine Qiong listened in a daze, but she lost her mind, and it took a long time to turn around and mutter: "What did the queen mother say, there is still a chance, what do you mean?" β
Kou Shu just wanted to speak, but she heard Su Peiyuan's familiar voice coming: "The queen is auspicious-"
Kou Shu sighed lightly in her heart, it was finally too late, and said lightly: "When will Father-in-law Su come?" β
"The emperor has a decree to send Concubine Qiong to the imperial study. The emperor also said that if the queen mother has time, she can also come together. β
Concubine Qiong's eyes widened suddenly, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
Looking at Concubine Qiong's frightened appearance, Kou Shu sighed slowly, stepped forward to help Concubine Qiong and said, "Let's go, what should come is always coming."
