127, crab language (2)
In the plain brocade tent of the four seas, the emperor's eldest son, Tuoba Sui, lay on an overly large bed with exquisite decorations, but he seemed more and more lonely and helpless. A small face was almost crumpled, both the face and the body were flushed with heat, the small fists were clenched tightly, the body twitched uncontrollably, and the black of the pupils could barely be seen in the half-opened eyes.
Feng Miao only glanced at it, and felt that he was extremely pitiful, and he had to be tortured like this at a young age.
The medical woman brought the medicine that had just been decocted, and Han Yuming only got up at this time and knelt down in front of Tuoba Hong, "If you have convulsions like this, I am afraid that it will damage the consciousness of His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor for a long time, and the minister will now give His Royal Highness medicine, and report to the emperor in advance if he is disrespectful." ”
He saw that Tuoba Hong nodded in agreement, and then returned to the bed, raised Tuoba Sui's head a little higher, and used a piece of silver wrapped in gauze to pry open his clenched teeth and pour the medicine into it little by little. As soon as half of the bowl of medicine was fed, Tuoba made a "grunt" sound in his throat, and vomited violently, his face was flushed, but there was a faint white and gloomy.
Han Yuming didn't care about being contaminated with filth, and used his hands to comb Tuoba Xun's back and smooth him out. The silver was still bitten between his teeth, in case he had bitten the base of his tongue in convulsions.
In the chaos, the Empress Dowager, Concubine Gao, Cui Anzhi and Feng Qing have all come. After the healers had bowed, they turned their heads to take care of the medicine on the fire, and the nurse fell to her knees and trembled.
"What's going on, why did the eldest son of the emperor suddenly become so sick?" The Empress Dowager asked in a voice as usual, but the nurse was so frightened that the three souls lost their seven spirits, and kowtowed like garlic, saying again and again that they had always taken care of the eldest son of the emperor with their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on.
The Empress Dowager turned to Han Yuming again and asked, "What kind of illness is Xue'er?" ”
Han Yuming laid the eldest son flat on the bed and covered it with a thin blanket, and then knelt down to answer the queen mother's question, "Convulsions are originally a common disease in children's families, although it is dangerous, but as long as it is treated in time, most of them are not serious." There are many causes of convulsions, such as wind chills, allergies, and traumatic brain injuries. ”
The Empress Dowager ignored the filth, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and carefully examined Tuoba Sui's face, "So what is the reason for Sui'er's illness this time?" ”
Han Yuming carefully examined the vomit on the ground before replying, "His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor spit out some undigested filth, which seems to be crab roe. The crab meat is cold, so it is not suitable for such a small toddler. Most of it was these crab roes that caused His Highness's frightening storm tonight. ”
Hearing this, the nurse immediately shouted loudly, "The slave maid definitely didn't feed the crab roe to His Royal Highness, and the slave and maid were even extra careful about their own diet, for fear that something bad would happen to His Royal Highness." ”
Feng Qing paced in front of her and asked, "The Empress Dowager asks you, you have to answer honestly." Today, some fresh crabs have just entered the palace, and the diet of the emperor's eldest son is taken care of by you, who else will you have? ”
Seeing that the eldest son of the emperor had a fever, vomiting, and convulsions, the nurse was already frightened, knelt on the ground and cried more than once, "The slave maid definitely doesn't have the courage to feed the crab roe to His Royal Highness, besides, the crab is not something that a person like a slave can get at will." When people are cornered, there is always a moment of inspiration in the brain, she suddenly stepped forward on her knees and hugged Feng Qing's legs, "Niangniang, the slave maid remembered, Miss Xinbi went out during the day today, and after she came back, she stayed alone in the room of the little palace, stayed for a long time, and the slave maid was not allowed to enter." ”
Feng Qing raised his foot in disgust and brushed her hand away.
"Xinbi was the personal palace maid next to Queen Zhen in the past, and then Queen Zhen went, she stayed here to take care of His Royal Highness......" The nurse suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw like a person who fell into the water, and she couldn't wait to pour out all the things she knew, "It must be her, it is she who wants to harm His Royal Highness......"
"It's not easy to talk nonsense," Cui Anzhi couldn't smell the foul smell, and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, "You said that Xinbi is Queen Zhen's maidservant, and Queen Zhen didn't treat her harshly when she was alive, why did she want to poison the young son left by Queen Zhen?" ”
"Sister Cui, if everyone were as kind-hearted and soft-faced as you, there would be no such dirty things in the world," Feng Qing walked up to her, his tone was a little smug, "Call that palace maid named Xinbi and ask if she has done it, and it will naturally be clear." ”
At this time, someone remembered that Xinbi had not been in the palace all along, and went out to look for it in a panic.
Feng Miao looked at these people coldly, only to feel cold in his heart, such a young child, he couldn't tell where he hurt, so he was taken advantage of, and he suffered a big crime in vain.
After a while, someone led Xinbi in from the outside and made her kneel beside the nurse. The room was full of people staring at her, and Xinbi was so nervous that she twisted the strap on the hem of her skirt with her hands.
Feng Qing looked around, bent down and said, "Please ask the Empress Dowager to ask." ”
The Empress Dowager didn't look up, took the wet handkerchief from the palace maid's hand, and put it on Tuoba Sui's forehead, "Just ask, the mourning family is listening here." ”
Feng Qing agreed, and asked Xinbi, "The nurse of the eldest son of the emperor said, you have left the Chang'an Palace for a long time today, and after you come back, you will stay in the house alone with the eldest son of the emperor, and the eldest son of the emperor is very sick at this time, and you are the only one who is not there." Tell me, what's going on? ”
"Slave maid...... Slave maid ......" Xinbi stared at a pair of frightened eyes and replied, "The slave maid went to the imperial dining room during the day, the weather was hot, and His Royal Highness had some prickly heat, and the slave maid went to ask for some peppercorns and mugwort leaves, and boiled water to wipe His Royal Highness's body." She pointed in the direction of the small kitchen in the Chang'an Palace, "Those peppercorns, mugwort leaves and the rest are all stored in the small kitchen, and Niangniang can send someone to check it." ”
Feng Qing nodded at the palace maid Jade Ye he had brought, and motioned for her to take a look. Yuye went for a while, came back and whispered a few words in Feng Qing's ear.
Listening to Yuye's words, Feng Qing sneered and said to Xinbi, "Some people say that they have seen your whereabouts in the past two days. Early yesterday morning, you went to the Huayin Palace. When I went to the imperial dining room today, I took peppercorns and mugwort leaves, but after you left, there was one less crab. "The crabs sent by Feng Dan were all tied with straw ropes, and it was impossible for them to run away by themselves.
Feng Miao saw that the matter really involved herself, so she was not in a hurry to argue, and only said to Feng Qing lightly, "When these two things are put together, it seems that my sister deliberately wanted others to misunderstand, and it was I who instigated her to get the crab." ”
Feng Qing listened to the words brought back by Yuye, and originally had this idea, but she said it so bluntly, but it was not easy to continue, and said a little curtly, "I'm just talking about things, why should my sister be careful?" ”
She turned to Xinbi and asked, "The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are here, why don't you hurry up and tell the truth?" It's not so easy to call someone to the Punishment Center. ”
Xinbi just shook her head blindly and said, "The slave hasn't done it, the slave hasn't done it......"
Feng turned around and asked the palace maid who brought Xinbi back, "Where did you find her?" ”
The little palace maid was so frightened that her feet were weak, and she hurriedly knelt down and replied, "When the slave maid walked to the backyard, she saw that Miss Xinbi was digging under the locust tree, and it seemed that she was burying something, so she called Miss Xinbi back. ”
"Buried something?" Feng Qing groaned slightly, bowed to the Empress Dowager, and said, "Most of the illness of Sui'er is made by this Xinbi, and the things buried under the locust tree are probably the evidence of the crime that is too late to be destroyed, so call a few people to dig it up and take a look, and it will be clear." ”
The Empress Dowager's eyes kept falling on Tuoba Sui, and she said to Aunt Cui who was following her, "You take two little girls to dig." Aunt Cui answered, and after a while, she came back with a small burden covered in mud and opened it in front of everyone.
Feng Qing was slightly proud, waiting to see what was in the baggage, according to her expectations, it must be the crab shell left over from the peeled meat. The plain emerald green cotton cloth was opened layer by layer, and the expression on her face suddenly froze when she saw what was inside.
Inside, it turned out to be a bag of golden hairpins and silver hairpins and jade agate. One of the chrysoprase bracelets, or she used to reward Xinbi, she once wanted to raise the eldest son of the emperor in her palace, often came to Chang'an Hall to walk around, and later saw that the queen mother did not let go, this idea gradually cooled down.
Xinbi trembled and kowtowed, and said, "The slave maid really didn't have the intention of poisoning the emperor's eldest son, these things are all given to the slave maid by the ladies who usually come to visit the emperor's eldest son." The slave maid saw that the emperor's eldest son was seriously ill, and knew that it was inevitable that she would have to investigate it thoroughly today, so she hid the things......" She seemed to glance at Feng Miao unintentionally, and her eyes were entangled with helplessness and unwillingness.
The Empress Dowager suddenly became furious, "Let you take good care of the eldest son of the emperor, what is the result?" Take care of a good child as it is now. Call Li Delu here, and all the palace maids and eunuchs in the entire Chang'an Palace, even the nurse, will be dragged out and punished with fifty rods! ”
Fifty rods meant that they were not allowed to live. The servants who knelt on the ground in the Chang'an Hall all cried and begged for mercy, but they were still dragged out one by one.
After a while, Li Delu hurried in to greet the Empress Dowager, and immediately after that, a series of sounds came to mind in the courtyard, the sound of the rod hitting his body, mixed with the piercing cry. The voice was noisy at first, but soon it faded into a sporadic wail or two. There was only the sound of "snap" and "snap" of the staff, which sounded evenly until the count was fifty.
Feng Miao was terrified when she heard this, she knew the iron and bloody wrists of the Empress Dowager, but it was one thing to hear about it, and it was another thing to see with her own eyes that more than a dozen lives were ended with one sentence.
After Tuoba vomited the crab roe, his breathing gradually stabilized, and he no longer had convulsions. I was sweating a little from the brocade quilt, and even the high fever had subsided, although my eyebrows were still twisted, I was already able to sleep peacefully.
Feng Miao remembered Xinbi's sad and helpless eyes, and the thought she had imagined in her heart became clearer and clearer, and she walked up to the Empress Dowager and knelt down, "The concubine has an idea, and I want to ask the Empress Dowager to consider it with the emperor." ”
