Chapter 81: Cannibalism I
Yan Ji returned to the palace, still feeling sad in her heart, Ren Lengxiang called behind her a few times but did not answer.
Leng Xiang saw Yan Ji's soulless appearance, she was so anxious that she burst into tears, and kept muttering in her mouth, "Niangniang, Niangniang, what's wrong with you......"
Yan Ji glanced at her indifferently, and was about to speak, but the tears in her eyes had stopped her words, she held back the tears hard, and said poignantly, "Leng Xiang, Wei Meiren is dead, you say, will they do the same to me one day?" ”
Leng Xiang knelt in front of Yan Ji all of a sudden, still sobbing to herself, "No, no, the master is Zhaoyi Niangniang, different from Wei Meiren, with the emperor here, they don't dare to ...... easily"
"Why don't you dare?" Yan Ji smiled coldly, with a little silence and tiredness between her eyebrows, "How many pairs of eyes are staring at me in the palace now, there are Shen Guifei, there is the queen mother, there is Zhong Zhaoyuan, and now there is the queen mother...... No matter what I do, I can't beat them. ”
When Leng Xiang heard this, she couldn't help but choke up, "Master, don't say that, you are pregnant with the dragon heir, they don't dare to ...... anything."
Yan Ji's eyes fell on her bulging abdomen, slightly filled with joy, but the smile was delayed, but it was extremely sour, "The day I met Chu Luo, where did I ever think that he was the emperor?" I'd rather he be a commoner and have nothing, even if he wandered the world, it would be just the two of us. But he is the emperor, the son of heaven of this great Chu, what can I do? I also thought about giving up, but I can't, I've never liked someone like this before, never. On that day, I wanted to see him again, but from the moment he carried me back from the rain, I decided that it was him for the rest of my life. Whether he lives or dies, he is the only one. ”
Yan Ji's lips and teeth were astringent, but her eyes were as transparent as a mirror, she thought of everything in the past, and suddenly smiled lightly, "Now that I have his child, this is the most beautiful thing in the world, isn't it?" Even if he is the emperor, as long as I can stay by his side, no matter what happens, I will admit it. ”
Her tone was low and soft, falling into Leng Xiang's ears, it was hazy tears, she raised her sleeves, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and squeezed out a smile and said to Yan Ji, "Master, your good days are still ahead, as long as you give birth to a prince, no one dares to do anything to you." ”
Yan Ji smiled gently, she sat quietly, and suddenly smelled a fragrant smell outside, so she said indifferently, "This point is a meal coming." ”
When Leng Xiang heard Yan Ji say this, she thought that she had a good appetite, and immediately smiled and said, "Isn't it, when the master hasn't come back yet, the food in the small kitchen has already been prepared, and I am afraid that the master will have no appetite, and several aunts are waiting at the door." ”
Yan Ji smiled slightly, "Pass them in." ”
Leng Xiang immediately got up and went.
In just a moment, there was a table of Manchu and Han people in front of Yan Ji.
Because Yan Ji is pregnant, the emperor is particularly strict with the small kitchen, often preparing dozens of foods for a meal, and often serving desserts in the morning and lunch.
Yan Ji took a closer look and found that the dishes on this day were not very different from usual.
Kung Pao hare, stir-fried field chicken, coriander pigeon, mushroom wild vegetables, fried guinea fowl, mint licorice, turnip soup, 1000 pieces of celery......
Looking at this kind of thing, Yan Ji couldn't help but be suspicious. She used to hang out in the Yanque Tower in Lin'an all year round and studied food quite a lot. In today's table of dishes, more than half of the food is compatible.
Thinking of this, Yan Ji couldn't help but feel a cold and piercing coldness.
"No food, no appetite." Yan Ji pushed the meal in front of her hard, got up and was about to leave.
"!" Someone suddenly called her behind her, and when she looked back, she saw that an older aunt was already kneeling on the ground, "Is it that the dishes made by the slave maid are not to the liking of the mother?" Whatever the mother wants to eat, the slave and maid will go to someone else to make a portion. ”
Yan Ji looked at her clearly, and said softly, "No need, you can go down." ”
Aunt Rong's heart jumped suddenly, but she didn't dare to say more, so she hesitated and left.
After only Yan Ji and Leng Xiang were left in the hall, Yan Ji immediately called Leng Xiang over, and said with a sad expression, "Quick, go and find Imperial Doctor Du!" ”
Leng Xiang saw that cold sweat was pouring down Yan Ji's face, thinking that she had some symptoms of discomfort, her face turned white with fright, and she hurriedly ran to the hospital.
In just a quarter of an hour, Du Zhong came to the Tongxin Hall. He was very anxious on the way here, thinking that there was something wrong with Zhaoyi, until he saw Yan Ji sitting in the hall at this moment, he relieved his heart, leaned over and asked for peace, "Weichen asks Zhaoyi Niangniang for peace." ”
Yan Ji glanced at him slightly, turned her head to Leng Xiang and said, "You go down first, if there is anything, the palace will call you in again." ”
Leng Xiang hesitated slightly, but he didn't dare to disobey his master's will, so he also retreated.
After Leng Xiang left, Yan Ji's face didn't feel cold, she stretched out her finger and pointed to a table of meals not far away, and said in a deep voice, "I also ask the imperial doctor to help the palace check the strangeness of these meals." ”
Du Zhong said gently, and he didn't feel a pang, "Niangniang thinks there is something wrong?" ”
"The Imperial Doctor will know at a glance."
Du Zhong didn't refuse, stood up, and walked to the table. He took the silver needle, and after carefully examining everything he ate, he found nothing unusual, but vaguely felt that something was not right. Most of the meals on this table are mutually restrictive, and it is really not credible to say that it is an unintentional fault. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat coldly.
In addition to the concubine, there are others who want to harm Zhaoyi Niangniang.
He tried his best to calm down, and arched his hand to Yan Ji and said, "Zhaoyi Niangniang, all meals are non-toxic, but this food is really compatible." ”
Du Zhong's words must have confirmed Yan Ji's thoughts, she smiled coldly, and said, "This is only the first day, and it was discovered by this palace. The imperial doctor thinks, who is going to harm this palace? ”
When Du Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, his fake surprise was just right, he looked at Yan Ji slightly, and said softly, "According to what Weichen saw, it may not be that someone wants to deliberately harm Niangniang, maybe it's just the fault of the small kitchen, if Niangniang is suspicious, you can avoid these foods and just don't eat it." ”
Yan Ji smiled gloomily, but the smile was extremely cold, "This palace still has to eat, if you don't eat it, it will attract the suspicion of others, wouldn't it be another way to harm this palace and the children of this palace?" ”
Du Zhong couldn't help frowning, "Niangniang really wants to ......"
"It must not be really eaten, but it just doesn't make them suspicious." Yan Ji sighed heavily, looked at Du Zhong and said, "All this is still going to trouble Imperial Doctor Du." It's just that today's events must not be mentioned to the emperor, do you understand? ”
Du Zhong lowered his head, deliberately avoiding Yan Ji's gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Weichen understands. ”
Out of the gate of the Tongxin Palace, Du Zhong did not go back to the Tai Hospital directly, and walked to the Chonghua Palace.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw several palace maids cleaning the courtyard in the courtyard, but his lotus core was sitting under the porch, quietly looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
Du Zhong was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward, Lianxin didn't seem to pay attention to him, and suddenly saw him, that is, he was startled, and soon said happily, "Why are you here at this time?" ”
Du Zhong held the hand of the lotus core tightly and refused to let go, and his tone was full of doting, "I miss you, so I came to see you." ”
Lianxin's face turned red, and he immediately lowered his head and was silent.
At this moment, Wan Xiang stepped forward, and when Lian Xin saw her, she hurriedly let go of her hand and called respectfully, "Aunt Wan Xiang." ”
Seeing this, Du Zhong immediately bowed his head and said to Lianxin, "I won't bother you with things, you can follow your aunt first." ”
Wanxiang smiled slightly, as if she didn't realize it, "Where is there anything to do?" It's just our work, and the master has specially instructed that we can't ask the lotus core girl to do things. ”
Lian Xin lowered her head, smiled slightly, and said humbly, "This is just the mercy of the master, what kind of work can't be done by slaves." ”
Wan Xiang smiled warmly, turned to face Du Zhong and said, "Shouldn't Imperial Doctor Du be in the Tai Hospital or the Tongxin Hall at this time?" ”
Du Zhong lowered his head slightly, "Originally, yes, it's just ...... Weichen has an important matter to inform the concubine Niangniang today. ”
When Wanxiang heard this, she was immediately happy in her heart, knowing that this Eucommia was a loyal and usable material, and as soon as there was any news, she immediately came to Chonghua Hall first. So he smiled and said, "The master is inside, you and Lianxin will chat for a while, and then I will go in and report it." ”
After saying that, she glanced at the lotus core with a smile again, and turned to the hall.
In the main hall, Chang'an was sitting on the couch, holding a book and reading, Wanxiang quietly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Master." ”
Chang An raised his head slightly and glanced at her, "What's the matter?" ”
"Imperial Doctor Du is outside, saying that he has something to tell his mother."
"Oh?" Chang'an raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Does he have any news, is he going to come to Chonghua Hall to tell the palace?" ”
Wan Xiang smiled, "The slave maid also thinks so, and this Imperial Doctor Du is also sincere to the mother." ”
Chang An smiled softly, and Fang said loudly, "At first, Bengong was also gambling on his infatuation with the lotus core. Unexpectedly, this Du Zhong is really infatuated, and he is willing to do anything for the lotus core. After that, she sighed softly and said, "Lianxin is also a blessed person. ”
Wan Xiang listened to Chang'an's words with a bit of envy, and laughed unconsciously, "Master, what are you thinking?" ”
Chang An smiled, "What else can I think, it's just to increase envy, their couple is really more sincere than the palace and the emperor." In the end, her smile gradually subsided, and the sadness in her heart suddenly surged.
Recently, Wei Qingyun gave birth and Song Yanji was pregnant, and Chu Luo's mind was almost completely on the latter. After careful calculation, Chu Luo had not been to her palace for nearly a month. If it was Chang'an in the past, it would probably go to Mingde Palace. But now she is indifferent. Except for that little sense of loss, there is no other thought.
Thinking of this, Chang'an couldn't help but feel sour.
However, when she looked at Wanxiang, she still showed her usual meek smile, and said lightly, "Call Du Zhong in." ”
