Chapter 17: Honor Is More Important Than Life?
"I said, girl, you drove out all the imperial doctors, and you called a Taoist priest to go in and cast spells, can you really save the life of the second princess?"
Just when Yun Xianxian conveyed her meaning to everyone, Granny Sun was the first to jump out and question.
"If you don't invite the imperial doctors out, do they have a way to save my sister?"
Although Yun Xianxian was also very weak-hearted, she could only look at Grandma Sun calmly.
The imperial doctors were ashamed of themselves, and no one dared to jump out and say anything.
But Granny Sun didn't want to stop there.
"That can't wait that long! Three days! Does it take three days to do a ritual? Even if it's long, it's time to come out in a few hours! Besides, the Taoist priest is a man after all, let the second princess and the Taoist priest be alone for three days, if it spreads, it will damage the reputation of the second princess! ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, which made Yun Xianxian very stressed.
"Is the name of the second princess or her life important at the moment? As your sister's nurse, you grew up watching Sister Zhilan since childhood, can you bear to watch her and the unborn child both go down to the Yellow Spring? This is not gossip yet! My own family is talking about it! ”
She didn't understand, why the feudal thinking of the ancient people was so rotten! People are dying, and they still think about those empty things.
That Granny Sun didn't seem to be touched by Yun Xianxian's words, but was even more angry.
"We don't want to be like this, but, the way of the world is like this, even if a person dies, he can't spoil his reputation, although the slave is the nurse of the second princess, but he still takes the name of the second princess and concubine more seriously, since ancient times, which woman has not come like this?"
Granny Sun looked like she was taking it for granted, and she looked like she was going to incite everyone to break into it together.
Yun Xianxian wanted to say something more, but Steward Zhang took a step forward and spoke:
"Miss Yun, the old slave respects you as the righteous sister of the second princess, I should have believed you and let the Taoist priest do it, but what Granny Sun said is good, after all, lonely men and widows live in the same room, three days and nights, if they are caught by someone with a heart, what rumors are not conducive to the second princess, it is really detrimental to the royal dignity! Even if this man were saved, wouldn't it be worse if his reputation was ruined? ”
Steward Zhang looked serious.
"I understand, but the most important thing right now is to save people first, isn't it?"
Yun Xian Xian's heart is also extremely tormented.
Everyone watched, and she also understood that in such a feudal and decadent era, it was useless to talk to them about this, but she had to drag these people.
No matter how Yun Xianxian tried to dissuade them, these people all looked stubborn, and the situation of being outnumbered made Yun Xianxian a headache.
However, at this moment, the arrival of the emperor made the entire noisy Second Prince's Mansion suddenly quiet.
"Knock to your majesty."
The entire courtyard was on its knees.
There were also two ladies in the palace - the queen and Rong Guifei.
"At noon, I sent all the imperial doctors on duty to come over to see the second princess, why is it that the sky is dark and no one can reply to me? If it weren't for the queen and Concubine Rong reminding me, I would have forgotten about it! What's going on? Why are the royal doctors all outside the house? Why don't you go in and be healed? ”
Emperor Jing Tai recounted his intentions with a gloomy face, and asked the imperial doctor who was kneeling outside the Yunju Pavilion.
Imperial Doctor Sun, as the chief imperial physician in the imperial hospital, immediately stepped forward when he heard this:
"The ministers are useless, and they are unable to diagnose and treat the illness of the second prince and concubine, and the ministers are ...... Ministers......"
"Enough! I don't want to hear these disheartening words! The emperor roared angrily, and the eunuch behind him immediately helped him set up the dragon chair.
The Emperor sat down.
"Can anyone tell me that now, the second princess and the little prince in her womb are alive or dead?"
After sitting down, Jing Tai glanced around, looking at the people kneeling all over the courtyard, and couldn't help but feel dizzy.
"That...... Let's all get flat! ”
After a word, everyone got up tremblingly.
At this time, all the imperial doctors did not dare to speak, after all, they had been out of the room for a long time, and the two princesses were already dying, and now they were really not sure whether they were alive or dead.
"Your Majesty, the people's daughter Yun Xianxian uses the head of Xiang Shang as a guarantee, Sister Zhilan is still alive! Moreover, seeing that the imperial doctors were helpless against Sister Zhilan's illness, Fang Cai Minnu invited a master from outside the world to diagnose and treat the second princess without authorization, but it was ......"
Yun Xianxian looked at the people around her, and then looked at the two maidens beside the emperor.
The queen saw her words flickering, afraid that she was a girl and would be frightened by the emperor, so she took the lead in speaking:
"If you have anything to say, tell Your Majesty, Your Majesty will make decisions for you, although this palace and Concubine Rong are accompanying Your Majesty out of the palace, but they are also out of concern for the life of Zhilan's girl, if you have anything, just say it."
Listening to her tone, she should also be a nobleman, although Yun Xianxian doesn't know her identity, she can guess a thing or two.
It was also because of the queen's encouragement that Yun Xianxian let go of the worries in her heart and spoke out.
"Yes, thank you Niangniang, the folk girl said bluntly. There is only one condition for the outdoor master, that is, we wait outside the door for three days, so that he can do it and treat the second princess, but these people, because the master is a man, said that they are afraid of ruining the name of the second princess, Your Majesty, Niangniang, is it more important than life in this world? The folk girl was bold. ”
After a few words, there was silence in the house, and no one answered.
Jing Tai's face was also cloudy, and after a while, he turned his head to look at Concubine Rong on the side.
"Aifei, what do you see?"
Concubine Rong gave a salute first, then leaned her head against the emperor's ear, whispered a few words, and the emperor really stretched his eyebrows and nodded again and again.
Then he straightened up and said:
"I have already agreed with the concubine, since the master of the world is willing to deign to come to the rescue of the second princess, it should be the benefactor of our royal family, since ancient times, the grace of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, how can there be a reason for grace to take revenge? So, Miss Yun, you're right, human life is more important than everything! ”
The emperor has already spoken, who dares to disagree?
A sentence that human life is greater than everything is to make Yun Xian straighten his waist.
"Your Majesty! Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”
This sentence comes from the bottom of my heart, and having such a holy king is a blessing for Daxing and a blessing for all people!
"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!" The rest of the house chimed in.
"Alright. Cloud girl! I've actually heard of you a long time ago, you're a brave and knowledgeable little girl, I've heard that you and my daughter-in-law Zhilan have already worshipped? Is there such a thing? ”
"It is true." The corners of Yun Xian's mouth went up.
"Well, it's true that Zhilan likes you, and I also like what you like! How old is the girl, have you ever been married? ”
There are many kinds of emperor's likes, and as soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked into a cold sweat.
The faces of the queen and Rong Guifei also turned a little white in an instant.
Could this Your Majesty be ......
Yun Xianxian is nothing, still immersed in joy, since the emperor has helped her so much, what she asks now, she just answers.
"Thank you Your Majesty for favoring her, the daughter of the people is twenty-one years old, and she is not yet married."
The Emperor nodded repeatedly, and then turned his face to the Empress's side.
"Queen, look how nice this girl is! Knowledgeable and reasonable, stocky. With our third child, do you think it's good? ”
"This ......"
The queen was speechless for a while, the third child, naturally referring to Jing Yibai, but Yibai is the crown prince, so whoever he marries in the future will be the future master of the harem! How can it be so sloppy?
"What? Does the queen think it's wrong? ”
Jing Tai was not angry, but a little folk girl with the current prince is really easy to cause controversy.
"Your Majesty, depending on the concubine, or do you want to be a side concubine for the time being and include it in the mansion, do you think it?"
The empress's words were very much in line with the emperor's wishes.
"Well, that's great, but I still have to ask Miss Yun for her opinion."
Jing Tai instantly glanced at Yun Xian Xian.
Just now, their conversation was listened to word for word in Yun Xianxian's ears, and she wanted her to marry the prince's guy with low emotional intelligence, so she didn't want it!
This is a lifelong event, and it can't be so hasty!
Moreover, the crown prince will be the emperor in the future, and the harem beauties are three thousand! How many rivals she has to love!
What's more, she didn't belong here in the first place, and when she saved Sister Zhilan, she would go back from the well of the Royal National Temple.
If she stays here to get married, what will Siwen do? What about mom and dad? She shouldn't stay here!
As soon as he thought of this, Yun Xianxian plucked up the courage to say to the emperor:
"Your Majesty...... The people's daughter has no talent and no virtue, and she knows that she is not worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince, so she asked His Majesty to take back her fate, and the people's daughter knelt down and thanked her. ”
