XXXIII. Abdominal pain

Xie Ning didn't eat much for dinner, but she felt that the mung bean soup was refreshing, and after drinking it, she felt that the boredom in her chest was much better, and she drank two bowls in a row. She didn't move much of the dishes, and asked Qinghe and Qingmei to serve them down.

The two of them can't finish these dishes, and naturally other people in the yard can also enjoy them.

The monkey followed and dipped it, and Qinghe guessed that it would be difficult for these little eunuchs to eat meat, so he gave him the plate of plum blossom meat.

Plum blossom meat is pork belly, fat and thin evenly, cut into thin paper-like slices of meat, after smearing the marinade, a hot oil is fried, and because the meat is thin, half rolled after cooking, the fat part is slightly translucent, the pure lean part is very fresh and delicious red at a glance, and the rolled up meat slices are put together into plum blossoms as petals, which is plum blossom meat. This plum blossom word is very apt. Of course, this dish is delicious, but it is also very beautiful.

Hu Monkey was almost trembling, and he didn't dare to breathe and brought the dish back to the house.

He had two people in the house, but there were six in the house. Except for the two who were still on duty at the door, everyone else was here.

"This is the master's dish?"

Hu Monkey was a little proud, but he wanted to suppress this pride and show that he was not surprised by the humiliation, and he was indifferent to this kind of honor.

"When I went to the dining room today, I saw the master cutting the meat, you see the knife method, the meat is thinner than the window paper."

Several people looked at the master's plate as if they had seen the master. If it weren't for the fact that this was the entrance thing, they would definitely not be willing to put down the chopsticks, but would bring them to the table and offer them.

The last six men divided the plate of meat.

The monkey has a bit of a pain. A plate of meat is not much, and it looks good, but when six people come to eat, each person will share a few slices.

This meat is so delicious, when it comes to the mouth, the oily meat fragrance soaks the tongue, soaking the mouth and throat, the monkey wants to eat slowly, but he can't control it at all, and the meat slices can't wait to swallow as soon as they reach his mouth.

Because there is too little oil and water in the stomach.

The night he ate this plate of meat, the monkey had a sweet dream. He dreamed that he had become a eunuch in charge like Gonggong Zhou and Gonggong Huang in the dining room, wearing embroidered palace clothes, and everywhere he went, someone respectfully and flattered him to call him Gonggong Hu.

Just as he was proud, someone suddenly woke him up.

Hu Monkey was a little puzzled, the house was dark, and it was still early in the morning.

He hurriedly came out, and Qinghe was waiting for him outside with a lantern: "You get up quickly, go to the front to find Father-in-law Zhou, the master is not feeling well, go back to Father-in-law Zhou and ask the imperial doctor on duty to come and visit." ”

At this time, the eunuch is more convenient than the palace maid, and the palace maid can't go out at this time, so the eunuch is much more convenient, and they have more doors.

Qinghe anxiously instructed him, and stuffed a purse into his hand, and the monkey knew that it contained broken silver as soon as he pinched it.

It's for him to be useful.

Without saying much, the monkey looked for the lantern while fastening the buckle and walked out.

The genius will be the fourth watch, and the door of the palace in front of the back garden has already fallen into the key, so if there is anything in the back garden, the only person who can be found is Zhou Yuchen and Zhou Gonggong.

Relying on the money in the purse, Hu Monkey finally arrived at Zhou's father-in-law's house. Just now, when he passed through a few doors and took out the money, he saw that there were not only broken silver, but also gold beans inside!

It was the first time that the monkey had seen a golden bean.

I never dreamed of it before.

But when the yellow and solid golden beans were spent, the monkey didn't feel distressed at all.

Because there is a master to have gold, if there is no master, these things are not worth a penny, but they have become a thing of the past.

Before tonight, where could Hu Monkey be in front of a big man like Gonggong Zhou, but at such an unusual time, with the name of Xie Meiren and the golden milk, he actually broke through smoothly, and now he is standing in Gonggong Zhou's house.

Zhou Yuchen came out of the house in a gown, Hu Monkey didn't dare to delay for a moment without saying a word, he knelt down, and said clearly: "The little one is the eunuch Hu Monkey of the Lingering Xiang Pavilion, our master suddenly had abdominal pain at night, and I implore Zhou Gonggong to send someone to call the imperial doctor on duty to take a look at the master." ”

Zhou Yuchen knows Xie Meiren, not a person who loves publicity. Ordinary trifles will never call people to him at this hour.

Zhou Yuchen didn't say a word, so he called someone to come, took his clothes and lanterns and went out, while instructing Hu Hou: "You go back first, the imperial doctor will be there immediately." ”

The monkey kowtowed again, and hurried back with the lantern.

Qinghe waited for him at the door, and the lights were lit in Xie Meiren's room in the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion. After Hu Monkey told Zhou's father-in-law's words, Qinghe nodded: "You go and rest and drink saliva." ”

Hu Monkey replied and hurried to Xiaojie.

This bubble of urine has been held for too long, and he wants to relieve himself from the cold wind that he has just been called, but where can he take care of it for half a day.

After putting the water and taking another sip of tea, the monkey did not dare to slack off. This errand was given to him by Qinghe, and he had to do it from beginning to end.

Hu Monkey rushed to the door, Zhou Yuchen came with the imperial doctor, and went directly into the back room.

Xie Ning leaned on the head of the bed, his face was pale, and there was no blood on his lips, and when he saw Zhou Yuchen, he showed a somewhat weak smile.

"The three watches in the middle of the night disturbed Father-in-law Zhou's dream."

"Xie Meiren doesn't have to be polite." Zhou Yuchen is also worried. He was afraid that Xie Meiren really had a case, and he had a lot to do with it. This is the person that the emperor is now concerned about, and if he goes on a business trip, he will inevitably bear the responsibility of taking care of the unfavorable.

When the imperial doctor came in, the tent was lowered, and Xie Ning's hand reached to the side of the bed, covered with a thin silk handkerchief.

The physician sat down to check the pulse.

At this moment, everyone's eyes in the room were focused on the imperial doctor.

This doctor is in his forties, a little short, with a sparse beard, and he is not a well-known figure in the hospital. It was routine to be on duty in the palace all night, but it was the first time he had encountered it when he was called to see a doctor in the middle of the night.

The imperial doctor checked the pulse and asked Qinghe some words.

Qinghe naturally told the truth about everything in front of the imperial doctor.

"Today is the birthday of the lady concubine, our master went to the birthday banquet, and when he came back, he said that he drank a few more cups, and rested with two sips of honey water, and he didn't eat at night, so he drank two bowls of mung bean soup. After reading the book for a while, I fell asleep, and tonight it was the slave and maid who went to night, and heard the pain of the master in a dream, and then everyone woke up in pain. ”

Zhou Yuchen chuckled in his heart.

It's just too much of a coincidence. I only went to the banquet during the day, and when I came back in the evening, I had abdominal pain. Xie Meiren's palace maid didn't know what dishes Xie Meiren used in Yanning Palace and what kind of wine she drank.

Could it be, poisoned?

The more Zhou Yuchen thought about it, the more anxious he became.

If it is really poisoning, then the implication is too wide. The lady concubine Niangniang, who is the master, can't run away from it in the first place, and one of the people who went to the meeting today is counted as one, and they are all suspicious.

This time it has wiped out all the decent concubines in the palace now.
