Chapter 42 The Beginning of the Dawn

Wanran walked in a hurry, leaving Chang'an alone in the hall and terrified. She didn't say it clearly, but Chang An guessed a few points in her heart.

On this day, Wanran hurriedly walked into the Chonghua Hall with Imperial Doctor Xiao.

As soon as Xiao Yu entered the door, Shi Shiran saluted Chang'an, "Wechen has seen the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine is blessed." ”

Chang'an bowed slightly, raised his finger and pointed outside the hall, and said warmly, "That pot of begonias has been placed outside the palace by the cold smoke, and the imperial doctor can go with the palace to check it." ”

Imperial Physician Xiao bowed again, and arched his hand, "There is Lao Niangniang." The moment he got up, his graceful gaze also rose, and his eyes were full of tenderness. Chang'an took in this detail and was taken aback.

Her gaze stayed on Xiao Yu for a moment. Xiao Yu is also Chu Luo's age, with a handsome face, clear and deep facial features, eyebrows like ink paintings, a face like peach petals, clear eyes but bottomless, and really good-looking.

Chang'an retracted his gaze, helped the vermilion peach tassel silver hairpin on his sideburns, was as calm as usual, and turned his head to call Han Yan to go with him.

Xifu Begonia is placed in a very hidden side hall on the west side of the hall, the evening fragrance has been waiting there, the cold smoke smells the things of this morning, and I am afraid that there is something unclean in this begonia, and I only stand far away on the side of Chang'an, much quieter than usual.

At that time, only Imperial Physician Xiao, Chang'an, Jiang Wanran and the palace maids of the two were left in the palace.

Dr. Xiao took the begonia petals, looked at them slightly, sniffed them on the tip of his nose, and found no clues, and then looked at the stems and leaves, which were no different from the usual begonias, and turned the soil in the pot, and no abnormalities were found. So he thought, maybe this time he was too thoughtful. Just as he was about to report to Chang'an, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something strange at the stamen. His intuition and experience over the years of practicing medicine told him that the problem must have arisen above this stamen. He uprooted a bunch of begonias, took its stamens and put them on his fingertips, twisted them and sniffed them, and was immediately horrified.

Chang'an saw that Xiao Yu's face instantly turned cold, and he knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly asked in a deep voice, "What did the imperial doctor find?" ”

Xiao Yu's face was pale, and he stared for a long time without answering.

Wanran has always known Xiao Yu, and with such a look, he must have discovered something terrible, so he said to him in a loud voice, "If the imperial doctor finds something abnormal, you can tell Concubine Yu Xian." ”

Xiao Yu glanced at Wanran, knelt down, and bowed a song to Chang'an steadily, and said in a square voice, "Hui Xian Concubine Niangniang, this flower contains cloves, incense, musk three flavor medicinal materials, after careful grinding mixed and smeared on the stamens, cloves, incense, musk warm, spicy, fragrant and non-toxic, but not suitable for women to use, according to the "Farewell" in the record, this incense is extremely swollen, full of wind, women have dystocia, abortion, face mice, eyes and skin. If it is used for a long time, pregnant women will have signs of slippage, and women who are not pregnant may also be difficult to conceive. ”

Chang'an listened again, only to feel a chill in her back for a while, her face was already as cold as nine, and when she came back to her senses, cold sweat had covered her entire forehead, she turned around and wanted to leave, but her feet were unstable, and she almost wanted to fall back.

"Niangniang-" Seeing this, Wanxiang immediately rushed to Chang'an's side and helped her steadily. Chang'an leaned on Wanxiang's body, but the emotions in his heart were difficult to calm down.

Although she had also thought that this flower was abnormal, she never expected that the problem would lie in this.

Back in the hall, Chang'an took a bowl of soothing decoction with the hand of evening incense, and his brows were slightly relaxed.

Imperial Doctor Xiao had already diagnosed Chang'an's pulse, and Wen Yan reassured, "Niangniang doesn't need to worry too much, Niangniang is only weak in qi and blood at present, and there is no big problem." Wei Chen prescribed a few pairs of medicines to replenish qi and blood, and he had already given them to the evening fragrance girl, as long as the mother insisted on taking them, the situation would soon improve. ”

Chang'an listened to Xiao Yu's words, and his face was still slightly pale.

She thought about it carefully, and she hadn't been suspicious of this pot of begonias for so long. If it hadn't been discovered in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

While Chang'an was pondering, Wanxiang had already sent Imperial Doctor Xiao out, but Wanran was still standing in the moment and refused to leave. She didn't make a sound, only hazy and sour tears, and held Chang'an's hand tightly, wanting to give her a little warm strength when she was most upsetβ€”just like she had done many times.

Chang An patted the back of Wanran's hand lightly, and said softly, "I should have expected these things a long time ago, and I was too careless." ”

Wanran heard Chang'an say this, and she was already choked, "Sister...... Isn't it a queen......"

She didn't say any more, but Chang'an understood what she meant.

Even Chang'an himself was thinking about this in his heart. But when she thought about it again, she only felt that cold sweat was pouring down her body, so she tried her best to be indifferent and whispered to Wanran, "This matter can't be passed on, and no one can say anything until it is investigated." ”

Wanran nodded, she understood Chang'an. So she got up and helped Yingxiang, and was about to go out, and when she reached the gate of the palace, she suddenly turned around again, saluted Chang'an, and said, "Sister is resting, and the concubine will come to see my sister in a few days." ”

Chang'an was silent, and his heart moved slightly.

After Imperial Physician Xiao and Jiang Wanran left, Han Yan couldn't help but feel aggrieved in his heart, and lay beside Chang'an and cried.

When Chang'an saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and said, "Why are you crying, isn't this good in this palace?" ”

Hanyan stopped whimpering and said angrily, "Master Jiren has his own natural appearance, and it will definitely be fine." It's just that the queen mother is too vicious, when she was in the mansion in the past, the slave maid still thought she was a good person, but now that she has entered the palace, she seems to have changed as a different person. ”

When Chang'an heard her words, he was startled, and immediately said in a controlled voice, "This palace knows that you are for the good of this palace, but this kind of thing, especially about the queen, we can't talk nonsense." ”

Han Yan frowned, still puzzled, "Does the master think that this matter was not done by the queen mother?" ”

Wan Xiang was standing beside Chang'an silently, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but say out, "Niangniang, when we went to Fengluan Palace, we obviously saw Miaochun and wanted to throw away this flower......

When Han Yan heard this, his face sank slightly, "Then this thing can't be done by Miaochun, right......?"

Chang'an turned his head and glanced at her, "Miaochun is just a servant girl in front of the queen, once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be a big crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, how can she risk doing such a thing?" ”

"That master is suspicious......"

"This palace thinks there is something strange about this matter." Chang'an raised her eyebrows, and the horror on her face gradually faded, "The queen is pregnant now, how could she touch the herbs of incense and musk, not to mention, she is so thoughtful, just because the palace can't have children." Besides, when she was pregnant, this palace fell out of favor, so why did she bother with this......"

Han Yan snorted coldly unconsciously, and said angrily, "If the master has a prince, he will definitely be more favored than the queen mother's prince, the queen mother is probably afraid of this." ”

Chang'an was still puzzled. Although she had little contact with Li Shushen, in the two years she was in the palace with her, Chang'an did not think that Li Shushen was a person who would use such insidious means to harm people. Could it be that after entering this harem, people's hearts will change? If it wasn't the queen, who would it be, there should be many people in the palace who hate her Shen Changan, but if someone really has the intention to harm her, she will sit back like this, and one day she will become a victim in this cannibalistic harem.

Chang'an thought about it again, only to feel a chill in his back.

"Master." Han Yan called softly, interrupting Chang'an's thoughts, "Do you want to tell the emperor about this matter and let the emperor find out?" ”

Thinking of Chu Luo, Chang'an's heart felt another tingling. When she learned the news, she wanted to run to Chu Luo's side and tell him as soon as possible. But after experiencing falling out of favor, she suddenly felt that she was no longer the Shen Changan she used to be, at least, she was no longer the Shen Changan who surrounded Chu Luo and begged him for protection. In this harem, Chu Luo can't be by her side all the time, so she can only learn to protect herself.

At the same time, she was extremely afraid. Even if Chu Luo found out that the queen did this, what could he do? If he blames the queen, the queen is pregnant, and the queen mother supports him, he will definitely not be anything, if he does not blame, he is sorry for himself.

And she didn't want to make him so embarrassed anymore.

What's more, this matter is full of suspicions, and when all the evidence points to the queen very obviously, Chang'an secretly feels that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Evening." Chang An thought for a while, called out lightly, called Wanxiang to him, and instructed, "You go and help the palace check to see which one is the imperial doctor in charge of the queen's womb." ”

Wanxiang bowed slightly, didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurried away.

When Hanyan saw that Wanxiang had gone out, he was also anxious, and immediately said to Chang'an, "The master let the slave and maid go with Wanxiang." ”

Chang An didn't realize it, and smiled indifferently, "Your body has just recovered, so it's better not to be tired." ”

Hanyan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, and said meekly, "The slave and maid are guarding the door, and the master just needs to scream if he has something." ”

Chang'an bowed her head gently, looked at the cold smoke and went out, and the door of the palace closed gently behind her.

She sighed softly.

Since experiencing a fall from grace, Chang'an feels that he has seen many things. For example, cold smoke, such as evening incense. Wan Xiang is such a clever palace maid, she is thoughtful, good at observing words and feelings, and loyal to the master, she must be more useful than Hanyan. After Hanyan was seriously injured, all the big and small things in the palace fell on Wanxiang's shoulders, and to Chang'an's surprise, she handled many things in an orderly manner. Hanyan is anxious and impulsive, and is not suitable for staying in the harem, which is a deceitful environment, in contrast, Wanxiang's calm personality can become a great thing.

Chang'an was resolute in her heart, if this kind of thing happened, all she could do was to protect herself and the people around her better.
