Chapter 83: Zhong Baolin
Lian Yueyang frowned, lowered her head and explained: "Aunt Xu said that only the old people in the palace know these things...... This Zhong Baolin was originally a palace daughter who served in front of Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi when she was Wen Cairen, and it is said that she was the son of the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi brought into the palace. Later, the Zhong family gained face in front of His Majesty, and the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi dedicated her to the first emperor, and the first emperor named the Zhong family as a change of clothes. ”
Pillow Chun was only shocked when he heard it.
Lian Yueyang continued: "Later, the young master and concubine lost power, and the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi gradually gained power, and this Zhong Changyi also got pregnant and sealed Baolin. Later, Zhong Baolin gave birth to a son, who is our majesty. But...... After the birth of this Zhong Baolin, he inexplicably got madness, and he was crazy and anxious, and often injured the people around him when he was sick. Later, Zhong Baolin suddenly became ill and wanted to use scissors to stab the emperor who came to see his newborn son, but he was sent to another hospital. ”
“…… Therefore, His Majesty gave it to the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi of Zhong Baolin's mother's family, which is reasonable. Pillow Chun continued, "Does Your Majesty know about this?" ”
"Such a big thing can't be hidden, Your Majesty should know." Lian Yueyang replied, "It's just for the sake of His Majesty's face, so when he ascended the throne, he said that he died of blood loss, so he was posthumously crowned the concubine." But there are some things...... Only Aunt Xu knows. She said that when she was serving the dying Zhong Baolin, Zhong Baolin was always awake and sick, and sometimes woke up in a dream, crying - Miss spare the slave and maid, and the slave and the maid will raise the prince under your knees! No two minds! ”
Pillow Chun endured the thrill in his heart, and his fingertips were cold: "There is such a thing?" ”
"Aunt Xu euphemistically told Zhong Baolin that the fetal pills that Zhong Baolin was waiting for labor were all ordered by the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi." Lian Yueyang said: "Zhong Baolin is confused, I can't say why, only that after giving birth, Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi will supervise her to take a confinement pill every day. After taking the pill, people became more and more confused, and later Zhong Baolin took advantage of his good spirits to sneak a peek at the recipe from his subordinates, and often when he was crazy, he was on the ground and recited it to Aunt Xu. Aunt Xu understands medical skills, and after listening to it, she wrote it down, it was a kind of crazy medicine. ”
Pillow Chun's heart jumped: "How can such a thing be said nonsense!" Then Aunt Xu is afraid that she doesn't mean to harm you, so I'll tell you this! ”
Lian Yueyang hurriedly held Pillow Chun's hand and looked at Pillow Chun's eyes: "She has ...... Evidence ......"
"This ......"
Zhong Baolin returned to the light before his death, and he was in a clear state of mind, and he just wanted to die clearly. Aunt Xu relented but told Zhong Baolin the secret of the prescription, Zhong Baolin left a blood book with his last breath, which was hidden by Aunt Xu, and Aunt Xu dedicated it to me in order to gain my trust. ”
Pillow Chun held Lian Yueyang's wrist, and both of them trembled a little from nervousness.
"But really?"
Lian Yueyang replied: "I quietly sent someone to check the archives of the previous dynasty, Zhong Baolin was born as a servant girl, and he was able to gain face in front of the first emperor because he could read and write." The first emperor liked bamboo, and when she was alive, in order to please the first emperor, she collected and transcribed the bamboo poems into a "gentleman's collection", which is now still collected in the study hall of Danfeng Bailuzhai. I took it back and compared the handwriting one by one, it was Zhong Baolin. If there is no accident......" Lian Yueyang frowned and paused, her voice trembling a little, "Your Majesty's biological mother was killed by the Queen Mother." ”
Such a powerful thing, Pillow Chun knew the severity, and shook his head lightly: "Sister Lian, you are the most steady, and it is not trivial to know this matter." If the blood book is true, although this Aunt Xu wants to show her loyalty, I am afraid that she also hates the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi, and wants to borrow your hand to kill people. This is too important to act rashly for the time being. ”
Lian Yueyang nodded, frowned, and said: "The Empress Dowager's Wen clan now has a lord with her, and the lord of Fufeng County is pressed on my head for Zhaoyi." If I can't get the power, I'd rather it rot in my stomach than speak it. But if Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi wants to move me and my child, I will naturally ......"
"Sister." Pillow Spring interrupted her, and some small things flashed in her mind. The filial piety of the Queen Mother before her illness, the precious tonic piled up like a mountain in Fengyi Palace, and Mu Beiyi's sincerity and sincerity...... She suddenly thought of something that was extremely scary, and asked, "You say, our Majesty is meticulous, has he ever noticed such a thing?" ”
Lian Yueyang was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
Pillow Chun sighed, and was about to say something more, but heard Yulan report outside: "Little master, Xi Wanyi is here." ”
"Sister Liu." Pillow Chun got up, glanced at Lian Yueyang, straightened her skirt, and went out to greet Liu Anran.
Liu Anran was welcomed into the inner hall by Magnolia, saw that the windows and doors in the house were closed, and saw Lian Yueyang sitting on the small couch, and stepped forward to salute: "Jing Jieyu is fine." Then he looked at Pillow Chun with a smile, "What kind of funny things did Jieyu say to her sister?" ”
- "Just talk about some food." ”
- "Jewelry." ”
When Pillow Chun and Lian Yueyang's voices fell, they were both stunned, and they were a little embarrassed. Pillow Chun was afraid that Liu Anran would misunderstand, so he joked: "Hey, in fact, even my sister is talking about this happy event when she is pregnant, and I am embarrassed to say it." ”
Liu Anran looked at Lian Yueyang's bulging lower abdomen and Pillow Chun's lower abdomen, and was slightly stunned for a moment, then laughed: "That's a good thing, what's there to be ashamed of." Are you afraid that if you tell me, I will use it to make fun of you in the future? There was a hint of loneliness in her smile.
Pillow Chun was obedient, and hurriedly took her into a seat: "Sister Liu is afraid that she is reluctant to make fun of me, but I am afraid that in the future, Sister Liu will be pregnant and happy, and I will make fun of you!" ”
Liu Anran pretended to be annoyed: "In line with the good-looking mutton fat jade you gave me, I made a special trip to thank you." You're good enough to tell me a joke! If it weren't for Jing Jieyu, I would have to tickle your flesh! ”
The three of them laughed. After two or three more warm sentences, Pillow Chun instructed Yulan to arrange lunch, and left Lian Yueyang and Liu Anran to dine together.
Liu Anran often comes to Qiyunxuan, in the past, things like cloth meals were done by Peach Blossom, the family slave of Pillow Spring, but now that it has been replaced by Magnolia, she remembered the reason. He asked with a smile: "What about the peach blossom hiding in the house and embroidering the dowry?" I heard that the slave maid peach blossom brought by your family was originally from the family of the Yangling Marquis Mansion, and the second son of Meng from the Marquis of Guangping fell in love at first sight. Yuguiyi's Meng clan is said to be a distant relative of the Meng clan of the Marquis of Guangping. ”
Lian Yueyang took a sip of honey water, wiped the corners of her mouth with a small handkerchief embroidered with crane feathers, and smiled lightly: "The Meng clan is originally a big clan, and there have been several purple masters in the clan. ”
"I originally wanted to help my sister in the family." Pillow Chun felt that it was fate, "I didn't expect that the Meng family would ask to marry Peach Blossom by mistake." Although the lintel of the peach blossom is lower, I grew up with her. Although Peach Blossom is a little more straightforward, she is kind-hearted and diligent and sensible. Said a little selfishly, and said: "I don't think it's a high climb!" ”
Liu Anran thought for a while, and frowned: "The Meng family is civilized and generous, and he is a marquis, so he must not do anything to treat his daughter-in-law harshly." I have heard my father mention this second son of Meng before, and he is an upright person. There is only one thing, although it is not nice to say, but I want to talk about it. ”
