Chapter 342: Victory and Defeat
Chapter 342 of the difficult fate
Concubine Jing tried her best to hide her emotions, but her face was still a little ugly. Originally, it was all arranged, and when Mrs. Wu Muhou ate the pastries and soup poison, she would be able to logically order someone to investigate, and Concubine Hua's instigation of the palace people to murder her would be revealed layer by layer. But I didn't expect that Mrs. Wu Muhou was not poisoned, but her side was already like a full bow, and she had to be on the string.
Now that she thinks about it, the female officer next to her found out that Chen Rouwan was poisoned too quickly. The bowl of soup was determined to be poisonous without going through the steward eunuch in the imperial dining room, and it was too easy, which thing in the palace should not be done carefully, and if you don't put your mind to it, you will set yourself on fire, and the matter of Concubine Hua and the Eighth Prince is an example...... It was Rong Hua who mentioned Brother An's matter, and she was distracted, and she didn't even care if Rong Hua drank the soup. Now the situation has changed sharply, and the things that she hadn't thought about carefully before are all in front of her eyes all at once, and what should she arrange next.
Concubine Jing instructed the palace people next to her, "Call the steward eunuch of the imperial dining room to test the poison, and the palace people in the imperial kitchen and the palace people who tried the soup will be examined one by one to find out what is going on." As he spoke, he asked the Queen Mother what she meant.
Only the eunuchs in the imperial kitchen could tell what poison was in the soup, and only after determining the poison could they find out where it had been brought in. In this way, coupled with the confession of the palace people, it should be able to figure out who the poison in the soup is going to harm. It's rare that Concubine Jing can think so thoughtfully at once, the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes turned up innorantly, and she looked at Concubine Jing and nodded, "You can arrange it!" ”
After about a cup of tea, a palace man hurriedly said a few words in Concubine Jing's ear, and Concubine Jing's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
The Empress Dowager didn't seem to be like Concubine Jing, and she didn't ask but just comforted Mrs. Xue, "Why are you crying like this, let someone go and get a towel to compress it", she sighed, "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with people." ”
Mrs. Xue's mood gradually calmed down, and the palace people served hot tea.
Concubine Jing stepped forward to see Rong Hua and took Rong Hua's hand cordially, "It's really cold." Such a body should be well recuperated, and if it continues to run around like this, I am afraid it will not be good for the child. "Let's let the imperial kitchen make some hot soup and bring it up, so that Mrs. Wu Muhou can warm her body." The queen mother had already instructed the female officials beside her, "Go and bring a bowl of hot soup made by the imperial kitchen to Mrs. Wu Muhou." ”
The female official next to the Queen Mother went to serve the hot soup in person, avoiding the people around Concubine Jing. Even if she is considerate of the Xue family's daughters, she also seems to have avoided others.
Especially when Old Madam Xue heard this, she obviously loosened the corners of her eyebrows, which naturally made people think that it was Concubine Jing who called Mrs. Wu Muhou over before.
Concubine Jing couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand. She went to check the poison in the soup so eagerly, as if she was covering up something, the queen mother seemed to ignore it, but at the critical moment, she asked the personal female official to serve the soup, obviously distrusting her, thinking so in her heart, her face was still as calm as water, and she pulled Rong Hua to speak warmly and cordially.
Rong Hua rested for a while, and his face was slightly better, "got up from the bed and saluted the Queen Mother and Concubine Jing," which made the Queen Mother and Concubine Jing worried. ”
The Empress Dowager asked Rong Hua to help her up, "Where is this, it is a big deal to add Ding to the family, but it can't be sloppy" I also blame that I didn't think of it before, the person with a double body should be abandoned at home, ......" said and looked at Mrs. Xue, "Don't let Mrs. Wu Muhou come tomorrow, just have Duchess Anguo do her best." ”
Rong Hua looked at Old Madam Xue, she couldn't intervene at this time, she just waited for the elders to arrange, but in a flash, she saw Old Madam Xue's hand...... Suddenly shocked, "old lady" What's wrong with your hand? ”
Hearing this, the Queen Mother's eyes also fell on Old Madam Xue.
Old Madam Xue glanced at the Queen Mother in surprise, and then lowered her head, "Her left hand was clenched and shrunk in her sleeve, and she trembled.
The queen mother suddenly became anxious when she saw it, and hurriedly asked people to call the imperial doctor, "Quickly send the imperial doctor to see the eldest princess, what's wrong?" ”
Xianfu Palace, which had just calmed down, suddenly became busy again.
As soon as Mrs. Wu Muhou woke up, there was news that Princess Heshuo was sick. The queen mother specially asked people to carry the soft public opinion to take the eldest princess of Heshuo to Cining Palace, the soft public opinion passed by the mourning hall, and all the foreign women could see it clearly, and the eldest princess of Heshuo leaned on the soft public opinion, her face was full of exhaustion, although she couldn't hide her old state despite the strong fighting spirit, one hand was stiffly hidden in her sleeve and kept trembling.
This is the eldest princess who was most favored by the emperor. Even if the new emperor ascends the throne, the Xue family has gone through several twists and turns, the eldest princess of Heshuo died and the eldest son died, but in the hearts of everyone, the Xue family is a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, and the old lady Xue is still the eldest princess of Heshuo One day will make the Xue family glorious again, but today everyone is now, the eldest princess of Heshuo is already old, and from then on the Xue family is just an ordinary noble family.
Entering Cining Palace, the imperial doctor hurriedly took the silver needle and stepped forward, and after a while, Mrs. Xue's hand was finally slowly released, and the palace people next to her used palace satin to cushion the things in Mrs. Xue's palm. It is a piece of mutton fat jade with dragon coin, the queen mother recognized that this piece of jade was given by the emperor to the eldest princess, why did the eldest princess hold this piece of jade? The queen mother looked at the palace people behind her, and the palace people immediately retreated.
Rong Hua sat on the soft chair and looked anxiously at the imperial doctor. Mrs. Xue clutched the handkerchief even more nervously.
Ren Jingchu lowered his head and looked around cautiously, looking at the Queen Mother from time to time. Seeing that there was no special expression on the queen mother's face, Ren Jingchu gradually relaxed at this time. Maybe the queen mother didn't show the smile on her face in a hurry, and now that the old lady Xue is sick, she should be a virtuous granddaughter-in-law in front of people, so she thinks about being busy taking care of the old lady.
After the imperial doctor finished the diagnosis and treatment, he put away the silver needle, and then carefully talked about Mrs. Xue's illness, "The eldest princess's old illness should be well maintained, and only three points of medicine and seven points of nourishment can slowly improve." "The words of the imperial doctor are vague, and everyone present can understand the meaning of this, what kind of disease can only rely on three points of medicine stone? It must be an old disease that cannot be cured.
The Empress Dowager looked at the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, since the envoy of the Imperial Hospital said so, the eldest princess's illness must have really reached this point.
The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription and retreated, and the Queen Mother looked at Mrs. Xue, "Duchess Anguo accompanied Mrs. Wu Muhou to go down and rest!" The eldest princess is accompanied by a mourning family. Rong Hua's heart lit up and looked at Old Madam Xue. The Empress Dowager is going to separate them from talking to Old Madam Xue alone.
Mrs. Xue and Rong Hua stepped forward to salute and retreat, and Ren Jingchu hurriedly chased after him.
The idle people all retreated, and the queen mother asked the old lady with concern, "They all said that you were unwell, but I didn't expect it to come to this point, you don't know how to say it, there are still some rare good medicines in the palace, how can they be useful." ”
Old Madam Xue said: "It's already such an age, and the body is naturally not as good as day by day, so it makes the Queen Mother worry." The Queen Mother snorted, "Where are these words?" When the emperor was alive, we were quite old together, and we didn't stick to any courtesy, when did we become so polite. Now I often think of the past, and I miss you more and more, and this is what it means to let people take you into the palace.
As soon as he said this, the waiter outside came in and said: "The queen mother, the eldest princess, the emperor has come to Cining Palace." ”
Rong Hua and a few people saluted the holy car from a distance, and then watched the holy car enter the Cining Palace. Rong Hua let out a long sigh at this time, the emperor saw Mrs. Xue, and the whole thing had been done.
The day before entering the palace, I planned in the old lady's house, and after entering the palace, I learned that Concubine Jing was going to be unfavorable to her, and I tried every means to think of a way to save her.
Without Concubine Jing's help, the Xue family would not be so embarrassed in front of people. The isolated Xue family is what the emperor wants to see the most.
Old Madam Xue has been sick at home for a long time and has not entered the palace, whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, they will definitely wonder whether Old Madam Xue is showing weakness in front of others, or whether she is really recovering from her old illness. Simply the old lady was sick in the palace, and the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital came to diagnose and treat her, and the queen mother would know that the old lady Xue was really sick.
It is to let the emperor know that the Xue family no longer has any threat to the imperial power. Although Xue Mingrui has such a grandfather as King Xuan, in the end he is still a descendant of the Xue family, what big can he do if the Xue family is down? Thinking about it on the other hand, Xue Mingrui has done his best for the imperial court all these years, isn't it much more reliable than ordinary nobles?
The emperor is old, King Xuan is gone, the eldest princess is also old, no one will mention the past again, the most important thing now is to stabilize the court situation, and the new emperor can inherit the throne smoothly in the future.
The emperor may reveal something to Mrs. Xue.
When it was time to leave the palace, the queen mother asked the old lady to be carried out, and Rong Hua and Mrs. Xue walked to the inner palace gate and got into the sedan chair.
When the foreign women arrived outside the palace gate, they each rode away in a car.
Old Madam Xue and Rong Hua shared a carriage, and Mrs. Xue also got into the carriage and waited for Ren Jingchu to come out of the palace.
After waiting for a while, Mrs. Xue got out of the car and said to the old lady, "I'm afraid I'm with my in-laws." I'll wait for her for a while, and my mother and Rong Hua will go back first. Coming out of Cining Palace, Ren Jingchu went to Mrs. Ren's side and kept talking to Mrs. Ren.
Old Madam Xue frowned, "Tell your subordinates to wait here, and when I see Mrs. Ren, I ask Mrs. Ren to send Third Grandma Xue back to the Xue family." ”
In other words, "Don't wait for Ren Jingchu." In this way, I am afraid that in a few days, the news of the disagreement between the Ren family and the Xue family will spread in the capital. Miss Ren Si married into the Xue family, but she didn't stand aside with the Xue family, the daughter of the Xue family left, and Miss Ren Si was still tired of being by Mrs. Ren's side, some people would say that the Ren family didn't understand etiquette, and some people would say that the Ren family didn't look down on the Xue family at all.
Mrs. Xue got into the carriage. The two carriages of the Xue family left the palace gate.
When the carriage arrived at Xue's house, Rong Hua had just helped Mrs. Xue down, and Mother Li hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Hou fell off his horse and is being treated in the house." ”
