One-one-three, the dragon fetus
Before Mama Chen and Gu Lengyi returned to Yonghe Palace, they could only watch Wan Zhen'er kneel on the ground.
Wan Zhen'er was almost exhausted at this moment, her body was already weak, after such a night and half a day of tossing, the whole person was completely in a state of almost collapse, not only her body could not support it, but her soul was also tormented.
On weekdays, she is powerful in the palace, and now everyone is watching her jokes, this contrast will not be good for anyone who falls into their hearts, not to mention Wan Zhen'er, who is arrogant and thinks that she can be under one person and above ten thousand people in the harem?
Wan Zhen'er now almost wants to die, she said fiercely to the sun:
"What did you do to me today, when I win the power in the future, I will definitely pay you back 100,000 times."
Although Wan Zhen'er thought so in her heart, she didn't show it on her face.
Because she didn't eat a drop of water all night and half a day, and she didn't eat a grain of rice, she kept kneeling like this, and she just wanted to be angry and had no strength.
As soon as Mama Chen and Gu Lengyi came back, Wan Zhen'er showed a hint of joy on her face, she looked at Mama Chen, and asked repeatedly:
"Mama Chen, what does the emperor mean?"
Mama Chen shook her head helplessly and said to her: "The Emperor Niangniang doesn't plan to let you go at all, he asked the slave maid to beg the Empress Dowager Zhou, but the Empress Dowager Zhou and you have a deep enmity like the sea, in this case, she is desperate for you to die, how can she help you?" ”
Mama Chen's words were heard in Wan Zhen'er's ears, and she suddenly felt that she had fallen into the abyss of disappointment.
She felt that what Mama Chen said was very reasonable, she and the Empress Dowager Zhou were now incompatible, and the Empress Dowager Zhou wished she would die, and it was absolutely impossible to help herself, so now, she couldn't rely on anyone but herself.
But what can she do in this situation?
The sun was getting bigger and bigger, shining on Wan Zhen'er's face, and Wan Zhen'er felt a burning pain in her skin.
At this moment, she only felt that it was dark in front of her, and then the whole person fainted again, and Mama Chen shouted repeatedly:
"Mother, mother!"
She called countless times, hoping to wake Wan Zhen'er up.
But Wan Zhen'er fainted this time and was different from other times, she had been fainting for more than half an hour and did not wake up.
Seeing this, Mama Chen knew that the matter was very important, and she definitely couldn't wait any longer, so she said to Gu Lengyi:
"Father-in-law Gu, hurry up and think of a way to summon the imperial doctor, you see that Niangniang is now unconscious, if you don't treat it again, I'm afraid it will ......."
When she said this, there was a look of trepidation in her eyes.
Gu Lengyi saw the situation in front of her and knew that things could not be delayed any longer, if it was delayed any longer, Wan Zhen'er would definitely die, if Wan Zhen'er died, all the bad things she had done before might be exposed, so she didn't want to think about it, so she went to find the Imperial Doctor Zhang, who was familiar with Wan Zhen'er before.
Imperial Doctor Zhang heard that it was Wan Zhen'er who wanted to be treated, but he refused to come, although he said that he had conspired with Wan Zhen'er to kill Empress Wu before, but now, if he came out to save Wan Zhen'er, wouldn't he have put himself in a situation from which he could not recover?
Gu Leng saw that he was unwilling, so he said fiercely:
"Doctor Zhang, what you did before, don't think that our family doesn't know, if you don't save Wan Niangniang now, then our family will expose everything you did before."
The imperial physician Zhang was not afraid at all, and said: "If you want to expose it, you can expose it, but what can you do if you expose it?" Anyway, Wan Niangniang is also involved in that matter."
Gu Lengyi smiled coldly and said:
"That's what you say, don't you know that Wan Niangniang is now sick and dying? If you don't save her, she will definitely die, and how will she be implicated when this matter is revealed? ”
Gu Lengyi's words were heard in the ears of the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor's shocked mind roared, and he knew that things were not so simple.
If Gu Lengyi really exposed the bad things he had done before, not only would he not be able to gain a foothold in this palace at that time, but he would also be implicated, and the emperor would definitely not let him go easily, after all, it was a big crime to slander the queen.
So in desperation, he had no choice but to say, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll go with you." ”
He had just taken two steps and came back again, shook his hand and said:
"Forget it, forget it, I'm still not going, it's like this, since you want to expose it, expose it, anyway, the horizontal is dead, and the vertical is also dead."
The imperial physician originally agreed that Gu Lengyi wanted to visit Wan Zhen'er, Gu Leng Yi felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but he didn't expect that just after taking a few steps, the imperial physician actually retreated and completely changed his mind, he didn't know why the imperial physician suddenly became like this, so he turned to ask him:
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, you have obviously promised our family to visit Concubine Wan just now, why did you suddenly change your mind now."
Imperial Doctor Zhang said: "When the murder of the queen is revealed, it is a big deal that I will not admit it, and when the time comes, I will die alone, but I will go to save Wan Guifei now, and when the time comes, no one in the palace will regard me as a mortal enemy, not to mention that Wan Niangniang was punished to kneel because of the Empress Dowager Zhou, if I go to save her now, wouldn't it be a blatant disobedience to the will of the Empress Dowager, do you think the Empress Dowager will let me go?" At that time, I will not be the only one who will die, and maybe my whole family will be implicated. ”
After the imperial doctor Zhang finished speaking, he sat there to close his mind and recuperate, and no matter how much Gu Lengyi threatened and persuaded him next to him, he refused to agree.
Gu Leng had to shake his head and leave, he returned to the front of Yonghe Palace and saw Wan Zhen'er still lying there, Mama Chen was crying and howling at her, but it was useless, and there were many people standing next to him, all of them watching the excitement, and no one was willing to step forward to help.
Gu Lengyi sighed and said in his heart: "In this deep palace, what kind of cause is really what kind of cause will bear what kind of fruit, and what kind of person will get what kind of retribution!" ”
Despite this, he still stepped forward and shook his head at Mama Chen.
Mama Chen asked him, "What's the matter, even Imperial Doctor Zhang refuses to come?" ”
Gu Leng nodded slowly.
"Yes, that Imperial Doctor Zhang refused to come, he originally promised me to come, but later he said that this matter was related to the Empress Dowager Zhou, and he refused to come for fear of implicating his family."
Mama Chen stomped her feet angrily and said in a loud voice:
"Why are the people in this harem so affectionate, they treat them well on weekdays, but when they want them to help Niangniang, no one is willing to agree."
Mama Chen only lost her temper there, and Gu Lengyi was also angry, but neither of them could do anything.
At this moment, someone suddenly came and said:
"You're all still here, the queen will pass by here in a moment, and if she sees that you are doing nothing and standing here, then she will not be angry."
The eunuchs and palace maids who were watching around heard what the man said and knew that the queen was coming, so they hurriedly dispersed like birds and beasts.
When Mama Chen heard the little eunuch say that the queen mother would pass through here soon, her heart moved, and she said to Gu Lengyi:
"Father-in-law Gu, take good care of your mother, I'll go and ask the queen mother for help."
"What? Ask the queen mother for help, how can the queen mother help our concubine, don't forget that if our concubine has three strengths and two weaknesses, then the most favored will be the queen mother, how can she watch her enemies good? How can you help the mother? ”
"No matter what, I always have to try it now, and on weekdays, our mother is not thin on the queen's mother. Father-in-law Gu, you help me take care of my mother, I'll come when I go. ”
At this moment, Mama Chen knew that there was no other way, no matter what the queen thought in her heart, whether she wanted to help Wan Zhen'er or not, she could only give it a try.
Sure enough, the queen was bringing a few palace maids to enjoy the flowers in the garden, and came over from afar.
Mama Chen ran to her and knelt down in front of her, pulled the queen's clothes, and wailed:
"The queen begs you, please save our Wan Niangniang, the queen begs you."
That Mama Chen crawled on the ground and knelt and begged, and the queen glanced at it and still understood what was going on.
The day and night before Concubine Wan Guifei was punished by the emperor to kneel at the gate of Yonghe Palace has long been spread all over the streets and alleys, and everyone knows about it. Of course, the queen is no exception, but she has never had anything to do with Concubine Wan, and Concubine Wan has not offended her much, so she doesn't go to the well like others.
What's more, he felt that Wan Zhen'er had been so favored by the emperor before, and it was impossible for the emperor to turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, there must have been something awkward between the two of them, so the emperor took this opportunity to punish her and vent her anger.
The emperor may still like her in his heart, so Queen Wang remembered the lesson of Empress Wu's death and did not step forward to ridicule Wan Zhen'er like everyone else.
It is precisely because of this that Mama Chen came to ask Queen Wang for help.
Queen Wang's face showed embarrassment, she waved her hand to Mama Chen and said:
"It's not that Mama Chen doesn't want to save your family's Wan Guifei, but now what can I do, this order was personally issued by the emperor, and the Empress Dowager Zhou is also watching from time to time, I am just a queen, no matter how big I am, I can't be the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhou! The majesty of the Empress Dowager Zhou, who in this harem does not know.
Queen Wang said the truth, every word was in Mama Chen's heart, but despite this, when she thought of Wan Zhen'er's tragic situation, she was still busy kowtowing and said:
"Queen Niangniang, you just don't save our Wang Guifei, please also find a way to recruit a doctor to show Guifei Niangniang, Guifei Niangniang has been in a coma for half an hour now and has not woken up, and the slave is also afraid that something will happen to her."
Wang Guifei was shocked when she heard this, she knew that Wan Guifei had always been very favored by the emperor, and the emperor actually punished her to kneel in Yonghe Palace for a night and a half day, and now she was in a coma for half an hour, no one in this Yonghe Palace cared about her, Wang Guifei couldn't help but be secretly proud in her heart, and said in her heart:
"This is really what kind of cause you plant on weekdays, what kind of fruit you get, if Wan Zhen'er is a little more benevolent on weekdays, how can she attract this kind of evil fruit."
She thought so in her heart, but she still said to Mama Chen with a pleasant face:
"Mama Chen, this kind of thing is still not the master of this palace, after all, it has never been the palace in this harem, so I will show you a clear way, you go to Wan'an Palace to ask the eldest princess, maybe the eldest princess is benevolent, and will order the imperial doctor to visit your concubine."
When Mama Chen heard Queen Wang say this, her heart suddenly lit up like a bright light, and she kowtowed to Queen Wang again and again:
"Thank you, the queen, the slave knows how to do it."
After speaking, Mama Chen got up and walked to Wan'an Palace in a row.
On this day, Mama Chen also traveled to a lot of places, begged a lot of people, but they all touched the nail, after she arrived in the Wan'an Palace, the little eunuch went to inform Jian Huaizhen, saying that she wanted to ask to see, but the little eunuch waved his hand and said helplessly:
"Mama Chen, no matter what people think of you, the people in my Wan'an Palace have always treated people and things equally, and they are no different, but today our eldest princess is indeed not in Wan'an Palace, she went to Huaiming Garden today."
"Ah, what about Aunt Scatter? Aunt Scattered is not there? ”
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Mama Chen hurriedly asked the little eunuch, and the little eunuch showed a dejected look on his face again, shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, Mama Chen, that Aunt Scattered also went with the eldest princess, if you don't believe it, you can ask the guards guarding the door."
When Mama Chen heard him say this, she knew that there was no room for change in this matter, so the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she finally defected to Wan Zhen'er and got the wealth she has today, but she didn't expect the wealth to turn into smoke in a blink of an eye.
She walked forward in despair, but at this time, the little eunuch in the Wan'an Palace stopped her again and said:
"Mama Chen, why don't you go to Yanxi Palace and beg Empress Dowager Qian, Empress Dowager Qian is the most benevolent, and she recites the manager Buddha, maybe she is willing to save your Wan Niangniang's life?"
Mama Chen felt a glimmer of hope in her heart, she thanked the little eunuch, and turned to Yanxi Palace.
But said that the Empress Dowager Qian was reciting the manager Buddha in Yanxi Palace, and she didn't care about what happened in the palace, although she also heard from the palace maids and eunuchs that Wan Zhen'er was punished to kneel in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace.
But she only turned a deaf ear, these things have nothing to do with her, and she does not come to care about it, nor does she come to ask questions.
Although she is now the empress dowager with the highest position among the six palaces, after all, the Empress Dowager Zhou is the emperor's biological mother, and Jian Huaizhen is the elder.
Therefore, she ignored so many things and grievances, and recited her own scriptures and recited her own Buddha in Yanxi Palace.
When she was reciting the manager Buddha, a little eunuch suddenly came forward to report that Mama Chen was asking to see her outside.
Empress Dowager Qian shook her head and said:
"The mourning family doesn't want to get involved in the disputes in the six palaces, who is right and who is wrong, it has nothing to do with the mourning family, you go and tell Mama Chen, the mourning family doesn't care about anything, let her go back."
"Yes," the little eunuch agreed, and walked out, and came back not long after going out, and said to the Empress Dowager Qian:
"The Queen Mother, that Mama Chen refused to leave, she knelt outside, only begging the Niangniang to go out to save Wan Guifei's life, she said that Wan Guifei had fainted for more than half an hour now, she didn't ask the Empress Dowager to intercede with the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhou, she only begged the Niangniang to assign a doctor to visit Wan Guifei."
When Empress Dowager Qian heard him say this, the softest place in her heart was suddenly touched.
She has been in this harem for so long, and she has not seen any kind of sinister strife in the harem, and what kind of people in the harem have not seen.
Although Wan Zhen'er is a little arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and has done a lot of bad things, she is still the emperor's concubine, and the last time she offended the Empress Dowager Zhou and humiliated Yu Qian's widow Mrs. Zhang, she was not guilty of death.
Thinking of this, she stood up, let the little eunuch support her, changed into a big hat and walked out, and when she walked out, she found that Mama Chen was kneeling on the steps of Yanxi Palace, Mama Chen's head was broken, she raised her eyebrows at Mama Chen and said:
"Okay, you get up, the mourning family will accompany you now to see how your mother is doing?"
After speaking, Empress Dowager Qian walked in front, while Mama Chen followed in the back.
Mama Chen saw that Jian Huaizhen was willing to come forward to help her, this matter seemed to have been half resolved, as long as it could be transmitted to the imperial doctor in time, Wan Zhen'er could survive, then she would have a chance to turn over in the future, so Mama Chen was secretly happy in her heart.
After Empress Dowager Qian came to the front of Yonghe Palace, she saw that a large group of palace maids and eunuchs gathered there to watch the excitement at some point, while Gu Lengyi was guarding Wan Zhen'er in the middle.
She coughed lightly, and the palace maids and eunuchs of the six palaces saw that Empress Dowager Qian suddenly drove along, and everyone was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down to greet Empress Dowager Qian. Empress Dowager Qian shook her head and said:
"That's it, that's it, don't be around here, just do what you have to do, it's not fun."
The palace maids and eunuchs of the sixth palace said in unison:
"The Queen Mother is right."
After speaking, they scattered as birds and beasts.
Empress Dowager Qian lowered her head and looked at Wan Zhen'er lying on the ground, only to see that Wan Zhen'er's face was pale, her lips were black, and there was no trace of blood.
She was horrified when she saw this, and she couldn't help but glance at Wan Zhen'er more, but in a moment, she discovered a very important thing.
That is, Wan Zhen'er's legs don't know when blood flowed out, and the blood actually dyed the white yarn group red, which looked shocking and thrilling.
Empress Dowager Qian was taken aback, and hurriedly beckoned to Gu Leng and said:
"You hurry up and pass on the imperial doctor, and say that it is the intention of the mourning family."
"Yes".
Gu Leng saw that Empress Dowager Qian was willing to stand up for Wan Zhen'er, and his heart was relieved, and he went to the inner palace again to pass on the imperial doctor.
The imperial physician heard that the Empress Dowager Qian had come forward in person, so what was the big deal, so Imperial Physician Zhang followed Gu Lengyi to visit Wan Zhen'er.
Empress Dowager Qian sent a few people to carry Wan Zhen'er back to the bed in Yonghe Palace first, and it didn't take long for Imperial Doctor Zhang to come.
Imperial Physician Zhang touched Wan Zhen'er's arm, his face suddenly turned pale, he knelt down and said to Empress Dowager Qian:
"It's not good for the mother!"
"What's going on?"
Empress Dowager Qian herself thought of something more or less in her heart, but she thought that she had been in the palace for the longest time, and her mind was calm and she didn't say it.
The Imperial Doctor said:
"The Empress Dowager Qi, this Wan Niangniang was originally pregnant, but she didn't know that Wan Niangniang knelt in this palace for half a night, and her fetus was ...... has been lost. ”
"What, you said that Wan Niangniang was pregnant, is it a man or a woman?"
