49. Poisoning in the body
After Mama Chen heard Wan Zhen'er say this, she didn't say a word.
After Wan Zhen'er and Mama Chen said such things, Mama Chen secretly had a plan in her heart, although what Wan Zhen'er said was not unreasonable, but it turned out that in Wan Zhen'er's heart, she Mama Chen was so unimportant, and these made Mama Chen feel very stimulated.
In short, her current mood can be described as very complicated, especially at this point, she didn't say a word, and buried herself in silently packing up with Wan Zhen'er.
Soon, the two of them packed up a pile of gold and silver, and Wan Zhen'er said to Mama Chen worriedly: "Mama, I don't think King Jing will let us go so easily, we must be cautious, if something happens, it will be bad." If something happens to us, you must take all the gold and silver, these are all the savings we have for living outside the palace, otherwise, after leaving the palace, we don't know how to live. ”
Mama Chen replied casually: "Okay." She already had a plan in her heart, as if she remembered something, she said to Wan Zhen'er: "By the way, Niangniang, where is the antidote to the bottle of full moon mandala?" ”
Wan Zhen'er heard her suddenly ask, and said slowly: "This antidote is in my hand." ”
Mama Chen asked, "Niangniang, do you have the antidote?" Can you show it to the old slave? ”
Wan Zhen'er didn't know why Mama Chen suddenly asked her for the antidote, she couldn't help but think a little more, she was very afraid that Mama Chen would ask for the antidote, and then go and give it to Zhu Jianchen, and then she would only have a dead end, so she immediately said vigilantly: "Mama Chen, what do you mean by this?" ”
When Mama Chen heard Wan Zhen'er say this, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, she said slowly: "Niangniang, don't you even believe Mama and me?" ”
Wan Zhen'er has reached this point, and there is only one person who can rely on Mama Chen, she heard Mama Chen ask, so she had to reluctantly say: "How can I not believe Mama Chen?" It's just that this antidote is very important, and this palace doesn't want anything to go wrong. The lives of the two of us are on this antidote, if this palace really doesn't care about you, how can it take you outside the palace? Right? This palace can keep you in the palace at that time, and you must not have a good life at that time. ”
After hearing her say this, Mama Chen reluctantly nodded, smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern for me." ”
In fact, now Mama Chen's heart can be said to be tossing repeatedly, what she has been thinking about now is that when Gu Lengyi was in danger, she came to Wan Zhen'er for help, and Wan Zhen'er simply abandoned him.
Wan Zhen'er glanced at Mama Chen and said to her: "Okay, you hurry up and pack up all the gold and silver, and go to the palace for a trip." With that, she went to the dormitory.
Mama Chen saw her mysteriously walking towards the dormitory, and her heart moved, so she quietly followed.
Wan Zhen'er never dreamed that Mama Chen was following her, and after she arrived at the dormitory, she took out a rosewood brocade box from under the pillow, which turned out to contain the antidote to the full moon mandala.
She opened the brocade box and looked at it, and found that the antidote was still there, she was finally relieved, put down the brocade box again, and then walked out and asked Mama Chen, "Have you packed up all the things?" ”
Mama Chen nodded and said, "Niangniang, everything has been packed up." ”
Wan Zhen'er thought for a while, and said slowly: "The time I agreed with Xia is at night, and when the time comes, Xia will come and release us, and now there is still a long time before the evening, what should this palace do?" The first minute and second of this palace in this palace was not steady. ”
When Mama Chen heard her say this, she said to her, "Niangniang, since this is the case, you can go into the dormitory and have a good rest." ”
"Into the dormitory?" Wan Zhen'er raised her head and glanced at her, with more disbelief in her eyes.
This made Mama Chen very sad, and Mama Chen said slowly: "Yes, Niangniang, there is still such a long time, if you don't take a break, after we leave the palace, we will definitely be very tired." Mama, I serve you to rest, and then I myself go to lie down and rest, what do you think? ”
Wan Zhen'er nodded and said, "That's fine." So Mama Chen waited for Wan Zhen'er to rest.
Wan Zhen'er always felt that today's Mama Chen was a little different from usual, after she lay down, she thought about the whole thing carefully, the more she thought about it, the more she felt a little uneasy, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt a little panicked.
I don't know why, she always feels that Mama Chen is like a different person to herself, she doesn't know if Mama Chen will betray herself, in short, she can be said to be a soldier now, after thinking about it, she decided to go to Xia to negotiate in advance, let her go out of the palace earlier.
As for Mama Chen, she has decided not to take Mama Chen away, maybe Mama Chen will have some kind of rebellion, anyway, in the whole matter, Mama Chen is not the mastermind, and when the time comes, she will be held accountable, and Mama Chen will not be held responsible, and she will not be in any danger.
So she lay down for a while, and saw that the whole palace was quiet, and no one came in at all, and then she got dressed and walked out carefully.
When she walked out, she passed by Mama Chen's room, licked the window paper and looked inside, and found that Mama Chen was sleeping soundly, and she didn't know that she had gone out at all, so she left with confidence.
Soon, after leaving the palace, she went straight to find Xia, who knew that as soon as she walked to the gate of the palace, she was stopped, and two guards said to her: "Wan Guifei, the prince has given an order, so that you are not allowed to go anywhere, you can only stay here." ”
Wan Zhen'er was angry and anxious now, she thought for a long time before she said: "You hurry up and inform Xia Guiren for me now, just say that there is an urgent matter in the palace to see her, if she comes late, I am afraid it will affect the prince's body." ”
After the two guards heard her say this, the two of them glanced at each other, after all, it was a matter of great importance to have an impact on Zhu Jianchen's body, so one of them went to inform Xia.
Xia Lizhi really cared about Zhu Jianchen very much, about the time of a pillar of incense, she had already hurried over, and after coming over, when she saw Wan Zhen'er, she asked: "Wan Guifei, why are you looking for this palace in such a hurry?" ”
Wan Zhen'er said to her: "Xia Guiren, I came to you because it has something to do with the prince's affairs, and you also know that the prince has taken the full moon mandala, and the toxicity of this poison is very strong, and it will become more and more serious in his body." For the good of Xia Guiren and the good of the prince, I specially invited Xia Guiren to discuss with Xia Guiren and advance the time, I don't know what Xia Guiren thinks? ”
After hearing her say this, Xia nodded and said, "That's fine, it doesn't matter if it's early or late anyway." ”
In fact, Xia is also very worried about Zhu Jianchen's body now, afraid that Zhu Jianchen will have any accidents, since Wan Zhen'er is willing to bring the time forward, then of course she can't ask for it.
So Wan Zhen'er said to her: "In that case, Xia Guiren, you come in with me." ”
So Xia Liao followed her inside, and one of her attendants said, "Niangniang, I'm afraid there will be danger." ”
Wan Zhen'er smiled and said, "Xia Guiren knows martial arts, and I don't know martial arts, do I dare to do anything to Xia Guiren?" Now if I do anything to Xia Guiren, I won't be able to get out of the palace myself. ”
Xia was relieved a lot when she heard her say this, and said slowly: "It's okay, I believe that Concubine Wan will not play any tricks, you are waiting outside the palace." After finishing speaking, she followed Wan Zhen'er and walked in.
After walking in, they came to Wan Zhen'er's bedroom together, and when they arrived at Wan Zhen'er's bedroom, Wan Zhen'er took out the rosewood brocade box from under the pillow and handed it to her, and said to her: "This is the brocade box, and this brocade box contains the medicine to cure the prince." As long as Xia Guiren takes this medicine to the prince, after the prince eats it, he will definitely be fine, how about it? Now I can go, right? ”
Xia nodded and said, "Okay, now you and Mama Chen can go." I hope that after you leave the palace, you can go as far as you can, otherwise the character of the prince will not let you go. Hongu didn't want to do anything wrong. ”
"Thank you." After saying that, she went to fetch the soft and prepared to go out.
Xia Liao saw her walking out in a hurry, so he reminded her and said, "Aren't you going to take Mama Chen with you?" Xia said to her.
Wan Zhen'er shook her head and said, "At this point, this palace is still too busy to take care of itself, where is it possible to take others out?" Xia Guiren, don't joke with this palace, this palace also wants to take Mama Chen out, but in this situation, where can this palace protect Mama Chen? Even the husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they will fly separately when disaster comes, not to mention that Mama Chen and I are just masters and servants? With that, she prepared to go out.
Xia sighed, and involuntarily opened the rosewood brocade box, she originally thought that Wan Zhen'er would not dare to deceive her, who knew that after she opened the rosewood brocade box, she found that it was empty, there was nothing, not to mention the medicine for the prince, so she rushed out without thinking about it.
Rushed outside and said to the guards, "Stop her." ”
So the guard stopped Wan Zhen'er, Wan Zhen'er just walked to the gate of the palace, thinking that now he can go out of the palace with the token, but he didn't expect Xia to stop himself again.
She felt very puzzled, so she turned her face and asked, "Xia Guiren, you have obviously promised to let the palace go, why did you stop the palace again?" Did you take the medicine and go back on your word? ”
Xia Li's face showed a trace of unhappiness, she stared at Wan Zhen'er, and said word by word: "Concubine Wan, this palace believes in you, and I believe that you will definitely take the medicine to this palace, so I agreed to let you go." But I didn't expect you to be so cunning, you brought me an empty box? Do you want to deliberately kill the prince? ”
Xia Liao said as he opened the rosewood brocade box to Wan Zhen'er.
Wan Zhen'er couldn't help but gasp when she saw that the rosewood brocade box was empty.
"I don't know what's going on, why? Why is this happening? Wan Zhen'er stammered for a long time and couldn't speak.
At this time, Xia Li's patience had been exhausted by her, Xia Liao looked at her, and said to her angrily: "Wan Guifei, how can you do this? This palace believes in you, so I don't want to worry about you, and I don't want your life, no matter how many things you do that are not good for this palace, this palace still pleads with the prince, hoping that the prince can let you go, this is a little mercy of this palace to you, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of retribution. I can allow anyone to hurt me, but I will never allow anyone to hurt the prince, you want to kill the prince, I will never let you go so easily. Come and catch Wan Guifei. So a guard came forward and arrested Wan Zhen'er.
When Wan Zhen'er saw this situation, she was immediately shocked in her heart, she wanted to run out wholeheartedly, but where could she withstand those guards? The guards rushed forward to grab her things, and the gold and silver were scattered all over the floor.
She had no choice but to kneel down and plead with Xia Li: "Xia Guiren, this matter really has nothing to do with me, and I don't know why this is happening?" Please, Xia Guiren, please let me go, I really don't know what the hell is going on. ”
"Do you say you don't know what's going on, and I'm going to believe you? Originally, I believed in you, but you deceived me with an empty box, your empty box was taken out from under the pillow by yourself, and now you don't admit it, how can there be such a thing? You clearly just want the prince to die, but you still hate the prince, right? Xia pointed at her and said angrily.
Xia is very loyal to Zhu Jianchen, and she also loves Zhu Jianchen very much, she has only one thought in her heart, that is, she hopes that everything is fine with Zhu Jianchen, she doesn't care at all about what others do to her, but if others treat Zhu Jianchen badly, she will never allow it.
Now that she saw that the box that Wan Zhen'er took out was empty, it was obvious that it was because she didn't want to save Zhu Jianchen, so she didn't mention how angry she was.
Wan Zhen'er lay on the ground, thinking carefully about what the whole thing was about, but after thinking about it, she couldn't think of why it became the way it is, she obviously hid the medicine here, but she just went out for a while, why was the medicine gone? Who the hell knows that they put the medicine here? And who wants to harm himself?
When she was hesitating, someone suddenly walked out and said to Xia, "Xia Guiren, the medicine you want is here." With that, she handed the medicine to Xia.
Wan Zhen'er heard the voice, looked up, and sure enough, it was Mama Chen, she was stunned for a moment, looked at Mama Chen and said, "Mama Chen, how could it be you?" ”
Mama Chen looked at her with a smile and said slowly: "Niangniang, isn't it me?" I knew that Niangniang had hidden the medicine and didn't want to give it to the prince, so I went to find out the medicine and quickly brought it to the prince. If there is something wrong with the prince, what should I do? ”
After Wan Zhen'er heard her say this, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, she said slowly: "It's not like this, it's not like this, it's not like this at all, what's going on?" ”
"How do I know what's going on? This matter has to be asked to the mother to be clear, this is all a good thing you have done, didn't you tell me, no matter what, don't take out the medicine to the prince, to make the prince look good? Look at how the prince died in the end. ”
After hearing Mama Chen's words, Wan Zhen'er was stunned, she thought about this matter carefully, and after thinking about the cause and effect, she finally understood what was going on.
It must have been Mama Chen who hid the medicine in advance, and then deliberately framed her in front of Xia Li, it must be like this, she pointed at Mama Chen, and said hatefully: "Mama Chen, this palace is also a master and servant with you, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, you actually want to frame this palace, why do you do this?" ”
"Mother, I don't know what you're talking about, I only know that the one who knows the times is Junjie. Now, everyone knows that the prince is the biggest in the world, if he does something unfavorable to the prince, isn't this asking for trouble? So even though I am not smart, I also know such a little thing, and I will never let Niang Niang hurt the prince. It is precisely because of this that I hid the medicine, just hoping to treat the prince. Niangniang, now that it's over, you can admit it. ”
After Wan Zhen'er heard Mama Chen's words, she was stunned there, I don't know why, suddenly she was like crazy, she stepped forward and hit and pushed Mama Chen, and said in a loud voice: "Mama Chen, this palace treats you well, why do you want to treat this palace like this?" Why do you want to do this to Hongu? ”
Mama Chen still acted as if nothing had happened, she smiled slightly, her face was full of wrinkles, and even the wrinkles were full of smiles.
"Mother, don't say it so ridiculously, okay? Mama, how do I know what's going on? In short, the good things that the mother has done, even I can't stand it, Xia Guiren, what the old slave said is true, if the slave has the slightest lie, I don't dare to take the medicine to save the prince. In short, the slave maid did a lot of wrong things with Wan Guifei before, but the slave maid now realizes the mistakes she has made, so she surrenders to the mother. The concubine asked the slave to hide the medicine, and the slave couldn't bear to see that the prince was in trouble, so she hurriedly brought the medicine to the mother. ”
After hearing her say this, Xia nodded and said, "Yes, Mama Chen, you did the right thing, if it weren't for you this time, the prince might have been poisoned." Hongu is very grateful to you. Xia said sincerely.
Xia has no time to distinguish between Wan Zhen'er and Mama Chen, who is right and who is wrong, besides, which of the two of them is right and who is wrong is meaningless, what she cares about is nothing more than Zhu Jianchen's injury.
Now, since Mama Chen is willing to take out the medicine to Zhu Jianchen, it means that Mama Chen has done the right thing, as for Wan Zhen'er, she can't swallow this breath, she is also tolerant of Wan Zhen'er, but Wan Zhen'er actually did this kind of thing, and actually wanted to kill King Jing, which she couldn't bear no matter what.
Thinking of this, a look of awe appeared in her eyes, Wan Zhen'er saw that Xia's complexion changed suddenly, and said in a loud voice: "Xia Guiren, you must figure it out, this is not done by this palace, it is really not done by this palace." Bengong didn't dare to harm the prince at this time anyway, isn't this a problem with himself? You have to know, this palace originally wanted to leave the palace wholeheartedly. ”
"Hmph, this is because you didn't expect me to open the brocade box before you left the palace, if I opened the brocade box late, wouldn't you have already escaped from the palace by then? And the prince will also fall to the point of no return, in short, what you gave to the prince today, this palace will definitely get it back. Come on, put Wan Guifei in the cold palace and wait for the order of the palace. ”
"Yes." At that moment, a guard stepped forward and dragged Wan Zhen'er away.
It's not that Xia didn't think about executing Wan Zhen'er, but I don't know why, she is also a woman in the harem, and she inexplicably had a trace of pity for Wan Zhen'er, so she let Wan Zhen'er be dragged down.
So Wan Zhen'er was dragged to the cold palace, Xia glanced at Mama Chen, and said slowly: "Mama Chen, no matter what the truth of this matter is, this palace only recognizes one thing, that is, you saved the prince." Hongu is very grateful to you. ”
"Thank you Xia Guiren, but I also did a lot of wrong things with Wan Guifei in the past, I know that I am doing wrong now, if Xia Guiren wants to punish the slave maid, please punish the slave maid." She knelt down as she spoke.
"If a man is not a sage, who can be without fault?" Xia sighed: "In short, those who are kind to this palace, this palace must remember it clearly, and now that you have saved the prince, this palace will settle this matter with you, and you will be a good person in this palace in the future." ”
After Mama Chen heard her say this, she quickly knelt down and said, "Please ask Niang Niang to give me death." ”
Xia Liao didn't know why Mama Chen suddenly said this, and couldn't help but say with some surprise: "This palace has already said that I will let you go, and no one in this harem dares to embarrass you, why did you let this palace execute you?" Hongu thinks it's strange, are you bent on dying? ”
"Niangniang doesn't know, the slave maid has done a lot of wrong things with Wan Guifei in this harem, who in this harem does not hate the slave and maid, if the mother lets the slave and maid live like this in this palace, the slave and maid will definitely be spurned by many people. At that time, the slave and maid will end up with life worse than death, so it is better to let the mother put the slave and maid to death first, and the situation may be better. ”
After hearing her say this, Xia was slightly stunned and said, "You really think so?" ”
"Of course I think so, it's better to die than to live badly. The old slave is used to seeing the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the world in this harem, and he also knows that if something happens, there must be only a dead end, so please also ask the mother to understand the old slave's hard work. ”
After hearing her say this, Xia Liao didn't speak for a while, Xia Liao thought about it carefully, and felt that what she said was also very reasonable.
Yes, she used to follow Wan Zhen'er to be powerful in this palace, and she did a lot of bad things, how could the people in this harem let her go so easily? If you forgive her now, she will definitely suffer a lot of inhuman treatment.
After thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Mama Chen, the concerns you said can also be understood by this palace, no matter what you have done before, and whether you are sincere or false. There is one thing that is very clear to this palace, that is, all along, you have indeed done things for this palace, and now if it is not for you, then the prince has no antidote to heal, so no matter what others think, I will definitely not let you suffer any grievances. ”
Speaking of this, she glanced at Mama Chen, and said slowly: "From now on, you can follow me, if anyone dares to bully you, you can just tell this palace." ”
After hearing her say this, Mama Chen immediately knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Thank you, Niangniang, Niangniang, Chitose Chitose." ”
Xia glanced at her, then nodded and said, "The palace is going to take this medicine to the emperor now, you can do it yourself." ”
"Yes, sissy." After saying that, she watched Xia leave.
After Xia Li's departure, she felt a lot more comfortable, no matter what, she herself was finally safe and sound, in fact, she was still very loyal to Wan Zhen'er, but she didn't expect Wan Zhen'er to treat her like this, if it wasn't for Wan Zhen'er to make her too cold, she wouldn't have done it.
All along, she has always felt that she has done a lot of things for Wan Zhen'er, but how did Wan Zhen'er treat her? When Wan Zhen'er was running for her life, she simply abandoned her, and pushed her to the forefront all the time, since Wan Zhen'er treated her like this, then she had no other way, and she had to use her own ingenuity to repay Wan Zhen'er.
In fact, the one Wan Zhen'er put in the brocade box was originally the antidote, but it was Mama Chen who took advantage of Wan Zhen'er to go out and quietly took away the medicine in the brocade box under her pillow, so that the situation was reversed again, no matter what, she is now a summer person, thinking of Wan Zhen'er, she still feels very melancholy.
She and Wan Zhen'er have been in the palace for so many years, and if it weren't for Wan Zhen'er, she might not have been treated so well, after thinking of this, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, she knew that she was going to follow Xia next.
In this way, after Xia took the medicine back and gave it to Zhu Jianchen, on the night of the full moon, the poison in Zhu Jianchen's body really did not attack, and because of this incident, Xia Liao paid more attention to Mama Chen.
Mama Chen got the weight of the summer, and she became even more arrogant in the palace, and she couldn't help but want to see her when she thought of Wan Zhen'er, and at the same time wanted to ask her why she left herself in a critical situation.
So she took a few palace maids to the cold palace, and after arriving at the cold palace, she said to the palace maids: "You guys are waiting outside, wait for the palace to go in to see Wan Guifei, do you know?" ”
"Yes." The palace maids agreed repeatedly, and Mama Chen entered.
After Mama Chen entered, she found Wan Zhen'er huddled in the corner of the cold palace alone, she looked very haggard, and the whole person seemed to be a different person.
She was originally an old person, but because she had always been well maintained, she looked young and lovely, but now because she had no maintenance and moisture, she looked very haggard, as if she had suffered a serious illness.
Seeing her appearance, Mama Chen also felt very sorry from the bottom of her heart, and Mama Chen called her: "Niangniang." ”
As soon as Wan Zhen'er turned around, she suddenly saw Mama Chen, she was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, she said slowly: "Since you have harmed the palace to this point, why did you pretend to come to visit the palace?" ”
"Mother." Mama Chen walked in front of her, looked at her, and said to her: "Actually, Mama and I have always been very loyal to Mama, it was Mama Niang who abandoned me first, and I had no choice, so I would do this kind of thing." Mother, it's no wonder that I'm sorry for this matter. ”
After hearing her say this, Wan Zhen'er lowered her head and didn't say anything for a while.
Mama Chen continued to say to her slowly: "Actually, I originally wanted to give Niangniang a chance, although when Niangniang wanted to use me to blackmail you, when Niangniang wanted to use me to blackmail you, you said that I was a slave and a person who was not a pity to die, and I was very sad at the time." But Niangniang told me that she just hoped that King Jing could relax her vigilance, and I believed Niangniang's words, but what happened later? Later, when Niangniang packed up and was about to escape, she didn't plan to take me away, and at that time, Xia Guiren asked Niangniang, why didn't you take me away? But what did the mother say? Niangniang said that she didn't want to take me at all, so Niangniang's heart just regarded me as a person who didn't care if she was dead or alive, so why should I be loyal to Niangniang? ”
After saying this, she forced her eyes to look at Wan Zhen'er.
Wan Zhen'er was forced to look at her, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"If Niangniang was willing to take me away at that time, I would definitely take out the antidote and hand it to Xia Guiren, and then I and Niangniang would escape from the palace together, but Niangniang actually treated me as nothing at that time, and let me suffer alone in this deep palace. Since you are unkind, then I am unjust. After she said this, the whole person looked very hideous and terrifying.
Wan Zhen'er was a little frightened by her for a while, Wan Zhen'er looked at her and didn't say a word.
Mama Chen was silent for a moment, and then slowly asked her, "Niangniang, don't you have anything to say?" If you want to explain, I'll give you a chance to explain, and I'll listen to you. ”
Wan Zhen'er shook her head, her voice sounded a little cold, a little faint, she said: "People are about to die, their words are also good, this palace knows that this palace has reached such a point, and there is only one way to die, so there is nothing to say." Yes, you have a point, and that's exactly what Hongu thinks. For a long time, this palace has not regarded you as anything at all, in the eyes of this palace, you are just a slave, if it does not endanger the interests of the palace itself, this palace is naturally willing to protect you, but once the interests of the palace are endangered, the palace will never exchange your life for its own life. Anyway, this is what this palace is talking about, whether you like to listen to it, or if you don't like to listen to it, the reason why this palace ended up like this today is because I was too smart, and as a result, I missed Qingqing's life, and there is nothing to say until now. It's just that, I hope you Mama Chen is doing well in the palace. After finishing speaking, she covered her face with her sleeves, obviously not wanting to see Mama Chen again.
Mama Chen gently called her from behind and said, "Niangniang." ”
But Wan Zhen'er refused to talk to her anymore.
