Seventy-two Chiefs
It was already dawn and the sun had risen. The sun shines on the window lattice, with a faint damp mark on the window, and the thin and clear patchwork of bright tile windows is reflected by the sun.
Xie Ning felt that the day had not yet dawned. The fog around him is killing every step of the way, like being in a long night.
She has never harmed others, but in the palace, it's not like you want to be alone. She is favored, promoted, and has a son, which has pierced other people's eyes and blocked other people's paths.
As soon as Qinghe saw her master's appearance, she guessed that she was frightened, and she couldn't wait to give herself two slaps. Who is not afraid of such a thing? The master is tantamount to a ghost door closing the door and turning around, so it's no wonder if you're not afraid.
Qinghe got up and left the stool, knelt down in front of the bed with a plop, and slapped himself left and right. Xie Ning was startled, came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "What are you doing here?" Stop. ”
Qinghe was fast, she shouted to stop, Qinghe had already hit seven or eight times, and the knot was not adulterated at all. Qinghe kowtowed a few times: "It's all the slaves and maids who are careless, who let people take advantage of the loopholes, and almost hurt the lives of the master and the little master, and the slave and the maid are guilty of death." ”
"Well, I don't blame you for all this now. This kind of bad method is really unheard of, and it is impossible to prevent it, and it is not something that ordinary people can think of and do. ”
Qinghe has been pondering this matter since last night: "I just don't know who has such a vicious heart and such a calculation." ”
Yes, who can have such a heart and such a calculation?
Listening to Qinghe's description of this poison is not something that ordinary people can know, even if they do, because the ingredients are rare, even if there is a recipe, they can't match it. And when it comes out, it is impossible for ordinary people to co-ordinate this by coating this into the hand stove, and allowing the hand stove to happen to be sent to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion.
Qinghe moved forward, took two steps on his knees, and said softly: "The slave maid heard that this matter seems to have been done by Chen Jieyu. ”
Xie Ning was taken aback: "Who did you listen to?" ”
"Father-in-law Bai and Father-in-law Xiao Ye were investigating the hand furnace overnight last night, and the slave maid listened to a little eunuch."
I heard it again. Who would say this kind of thing casually? What's more, how could a little eunuch who was not too close to be so well-informed?
"Then do you think it will be Chen Jieyu?"
Qinghe thought for a while before saying, "The slave and maid can't say for sure." If you really want to talk about it, the master has always been popular, that is, he has a little pimple with Chen Jieyu. Since the master was pregnant, Chen Jieyu couldn't be too out of line, others sent gifts to congratulate, and she also sent a copy. If they meet from time to time, they don't ignore them as before, whether they are warm or not, they always greet and greet each other, and then say two polite words to maintain a superficial harmony.
If she wants to say that she did this, Qinghe thinks she has a reason to do it, but there is always a voice in her heart muttering that it is not quite right. There is no big grudge between Chen Jieyu and her master, but there is a small quarrel, and she always feels a little far-fetched because she wants to kill others for this matter. If she is jealous, but there are more jealous people, isn't everyone suspicious?
Shainin only said one word: "It's not her." ”
Not to mention whether she has the heart to hurt people, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and it is too difficult to judge whether this person will do harmful things from this.
The basis for Xie Ning's judgment is that Chen Jieyu should not have this ability.
Chen Jieyu entered the palace earlier than Qinghe, she is delicate and smart, and it is said that the emperor likes her because she is "lively and straightforward". But Chen Jieyu's family background is not obvious, and she has only been in the palace for four or five years, and it is only in the past two years that she has been favored. Before, she had a low position and didn't say it, even after she was promoted to Jieyu, it was too impossible to say that she could reach this point with her hands and eyes.
This matter has just been investigated, and Chen Jieyu was involved, which should not be accidental.
Could it be that the Lord made Chen Jieyu a scapegoat when he made people at the beginning?
Shainin himself refuted this conjecture. The emperor is not such an easy person to deceive, even Xie Ning can figure things out, the emperor will definitely not be blinded by such a smokescreen.
When Li ordered him to come again to check his pulse, Xie Ning thanked him. Li Zhiling is already old, no better than young people. Last night, Bai Hongqi ordered someone to leave the palace overnight to bring him into the palace from his own house, and until now he didn't care about closing his eyes, Xie Ning saw him and remembered that his grandfather was still alive, and he was really uneasy and unbearable.
It's not the first time that Li has dealt with Xie Meiren, but after encountering a mutation, seeing Xie Meiren calm and calm, this kind of childish bearing is rare in this young palace concubine. Besides, Xie Meiren has always been sincere and courteous, and serving and caring for her is not a chore.
"Xie Meiren doesn't need to worry, you have a good foundation, and the child has not been affected. Dare to ask, from Xie Meiren's waking up in the morning to now, has the child moved? How many times? ”
"I've moved twice."
When he felt the first fetal movement today, Xie Ning let go of most of his worries. The child did not seem to be affected by anything, and his movements were similar to before.
Li Zhiling was obviously very happy to hear this, and after checking the pulse, he said: "You don't need to take any more medicine in the morning, you can eat more, and you should mainly be light." ”
Xie Ning is more concerned about another thing, she only feels tired of staying in an unfamiliar place now, when will she be able to return to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion?
Li Zhiling did not dare to assert himself in this matter. Although according to her, it would be okay for Xie Meiren to go back today, wrapped thickly, and carried all the way back in a warm sedan chair, there was nothing wrong with it. But the emperor has the final say in this matter, and he doesn't count if he says it.
Seeing that Li's order was vague, Xie Ning also understood. She heard that the first key to being a physician is "but seek no fault", and Li will not assert it rashly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong after Xie Ning goes back, he can't afford the responsibility.
Shainin knew that he couldn't say it, and he didn't ask about it anymore. For lunch, I still eat porridge, but there is an extra piece of cake and two side dishes than in the morning. Shainin herself is still not hungry, she can't feel the fragrance of the food in her mouth, and she has no appetite at all, but she is afraid that the child will be hungry, even if it tastes the same as chewing wax, she has to eat it hard.
This poisonous incense is really powerful, and her physique is indeed very sensitive to this reaction. Xie Ning thought, probably like drinking, some people can't touch it at all, even if it's home-brewed sweet rice wine, even children can drink it, and some people will be red and dizzy when they take a small sip, not to mention those strong wine syrup, it's just dipping it and pouring it out.
The emperor was not satisfied with the results that Bai Hongqi found. Not to mention the emperor, even he himself is not satisfied.
What's going on with Chen Jieyu? But the torturer was negligent, and the man who was the prisoner bit his tongue, and now he was barely hanging for his life, but he could no longer speak.
The emperor read a few confessions, and listened to Bai Hongqi plead guilty for the negligence of his subordinates, but he didn't get angry, but just put those fluttering pieces of paper on his desk: "The palace is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, if this kind of unyielding strength is used on the right path." ”
The more indifferent the emperor's tone was, the more apprehensive Bai Hongqi became.
