Chapter 19: Ginger Tea and Thoughts
A few concubines with status spoke kindly to persuade them, and Sister Duo laughed embarrassedly: "Thank you for your kindness, these imperial doctors are dedicated to serving the emperor, how can they let them see the disease for me, isn't this a torment for the ministers, not to mention, I don't feel that anything is wrong." ”
"What are you afraid of, princess, is it possible that she can eat you?" Concubine De looked at Duo Meizi with sharp eyes, but her expression and tone were as easy-going as a joke.
When the emperor heard Sister Duo's words, he couldn't help but be suspicious, but he also looked at Ah Jia and saw him drinking tea with a normal expression before saying, "Since the imperial doctor has already come, let them give Duo'er a good diagnosis of the pulse of peace." ”
As soon as she heard this, the embarrassment on Duo Meizi's face turned into a smile on her face and she got up and saluted, "Since my father and emperor have said this, if you don't let the imperial doctor diagnose the pulse, it will be Erchen's fault, but Erchen has always practiced medical Gu and is proficient in medical skills, so his body naturally understands, but Erchen doesn't like strangers to approach." ”
Ah Jia saw that the people of the Central Plains were approaching each other step by step, so he got up and said, "Your Majesty, Duo'er has never liked to be touched by others, so it's better to let Erchen, who is the elder brother, diagnose the pulse of his sister, King Yu, you think it's good." ”
Sister Duo is happy in her heart, Cousin Ajia is too face-saving, with him on the side, this play will be better performed.
Concubine Shen's face became more and more ugly, the more Sister Duo was so messy and tried her best to cover it up, the more it proved that there must be ghosts in it, and she couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart, just when she wanted to persuade again, Sister Duo smiled and said: "It's okay, let my cousin check my pulse, Your Majesty, you won't even believe Cousin Ajia, right?" ”
The emperor was embarrassed, didn't Duo Meizi set her up, if she let Ajia give a pulse, what if the two of them teamed up to deceive and conceal it, if not, Ajia's face could not be ignored.
Hearing this, Ah Jia cast a very approving look at Duo Meizi, this sister, in the end, is married, and she will not be as brainless and arrogant as she is in the village.
"Since Aga Toast has married Concubine Duo to the prince, he can't interfere in the prince's family affairs, besides, Aga Toast should also avoid suspicion, you are just a toast, not a doctor, not to mention, there is still a doctor now." Yin Su'er immediately replied with a smile. But the doubts in my heart deepened, whether Princess Duo's child really had a ghost, why did she obstruct the imperial doctor's diagnosis in every possible way, Yin Su'er secretly cast a suspicious look at Concubine Shen.
Concubine Shen also has doubts, and she can't wait to reveal the mystery immediately.
When the emperor heard Yin Su'er's words, he said: "Concubine Duo, let the imperial doctor diagnose your pulse, so as not to fall into the hands of others." ”
Xuanyuan Che said: "Concubine Duo is pregnant with my Xuanyuan Che's flesh and blood, and she doesn't need others to put her beak." The face was extremely cold, and the eyes glanced sharply at the person who said that he wanted to diagnose the pulse, and all the concubines at the moment lowered their heads and were silent, as if their hearts were weak.
Only then did Duo Meizi come out and stop Xuanyuan Che: "Lord Wang, since so many people want to confirm whether Xiao Shizi is in the belly of the concubine, and the concubine body can't stop it, then let the imperial doctor diagnose the pulse." ”
Duo Meizi rolled up her sleeves and put them on the table, and the three imperial doctors took turns to check the pulse, and after a while, the imperial doctor said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, the fetus is healthy, and it has not been affected by the food." ”
A trace of unhappiness flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he immediately recovered: "Okay, okay, my Xuanyuan family finally has an eldest grandson, hahaha, the murder of Concubine Duo today must be investigated." ”
About an hour later, the banquet dispersed, and before leaving, Ah Jia deliberately said in Duo Meizi's ear: "Duo'er, your father was originally afraid that you would suffer with your temperament, but now it's good, your mind is thoughtful, and I can go back to my life." ”
Duo Meizi smiled: "Thank you Brother Ajia for protecting me thoroughly." ”
When he got into the carriage, Ah Jia also whispered to Sister Duo, "What you want to carry now is not the backyard, but the one." "When he said it, he was still facing Qiankun Palace, where the emperor lived.
Duo Meizi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, this, what is going on?
The murder in the palace is over, and Concubine Ning will also be implicated in sending tea to the princess, but since Aga Tusi left, everything has been gone.
The day after Aga left, Princess Xian was released, and several other implicated concubines and princesses were also released from prison one by one.
After Duo Meizi knew, she smiled indifferently, she had already expected this result, as long as Aga left, what was it or what it was, she didn't want to pursue it, but Xinu was very angry, and she was upset after knowing the news.
In the past few days, Xuanyuan Che seems to be busier, always waiting until Sister Duo has rested before coming to Jingzhu Garden, and they are all watching Sister Duo leave again, and the two of them haven't seen each other for several days.
I don't know if it's because of the weather or because of being pregnant, my immunity is declining, and my sister suffers from a small wind chill, her nose is blocked, and she doesn't know how to eat, which is really uncomfortable.
Yin Su'er and Concubine Shen heard that the girl was infected with the cold, so they hurriedly came to Jingzhuyuan with a tray to see each other. As soon as the two came in, they saluted and sat down, and Concubine Shen was even more distressed and virtuous.
"I heard that the princess was sick, the concubine and Sister Shen hurriedly came to visit, and the concubine also specially instructed the maids in the big kitchen to make a few of the princess's favorite dishes, and now it is noon, and the princess should also have lunch. The dishes on the tray are still fresh and hot. Mrs. Yin's attitude is enthusiastic, in the eyes of others, she and Sister Duo are sisters, in the eyes of Sister Duo, these two people may come up with something moth.
Duo Meizi lay on the bed, looked at the delicate tray intently, and replied with a smile: "This princess should really thank the two sisters." "Such intentions, so bold, maybe I came here looking at the emperor's attitude, hehe, all I tried my best to do was to send here a tray with a lot of materials! The smile on the corner of her mouth was like frost, which could chill the entire Jingzhu Garden.
"There is also a cup of hot tea in the tray, which was cooked by Mrs. Yin herself, it can be seen that Mrs. Yin loves the princess, and the princess will drink it now to warm her body, maybe the wind cold will be fine." Concubine Shen smiled at Duo Meizi, and her tone turned out to be such expectant.
The girl looked at the tray, and there was a bowl of ginger soup tea on the first floor, and there were scattered petals floating on it, which may have floated in on the way here. If there were no petals, it would be a good medicine for wind and cold, but now, they thought that the girl couldn't smell the smell in her nose and couldn't taste it in her mouth. At the moment, an intriguing smile was revealed,
"Concubine Shen and Mrs. Yin really have a heart. It takes two pillars of incense to travel from the big kitchen to my Jingzhu Garden, but the tray is not covered with a lid, but I can't imagine that Mrs. Yin can make this tea still steaming, so it seems that Mrs. Yin is really attentive. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Yin's hands trembled, she looked at Sister Duo uneasily, looked at Sister Duo's expression carefully, and regretted what she just said!
It's been time for two pillars of incense, and the tray is just a plate, not to mention that the weather is now late autumn, no wonder it will arouse the suspicion of the girl! Concubine Shen smiled faintly and said, "After arriving just now, my sister found that the tea was cold, so I asked my sister Jingzhuyuan to heat the tea again. I also implore my sister not to dislike it, this tea is given by the emperor, it tastes very good, the prince has always liked this tea, and now my sister is infected with the cold, so I added a piece of ginger into it, I believe it can help my sister. ”
"It turned out to be tea sent by the emperor, since this is the case, how dare this princess not drink it." The girl shook the teacup gently, looked carefully at the scattered petals in the cup, her eyes fell on the petals, and her voice was so soft that it made people's hearts furious.
Seeing this, the joy in Mrs. Yin's eyes deepened a little, and she hurriedly said: "The concubine guarantees that the princess will get rid of typhoid fever immediately after drinking it." ”
"Really?" Duo Meizi smiled faintly. Intentionally or unintentionally, suck the taste of the tea. It's a pity that I was infected with a cold and had a stuffy nose, but it looks like a really good tea! But it's a pity that there are ingredients in it!
Under the gaze of Concubine Shen and Mrs. Yin, Duo Meizi blocked the cup and mouth with her sleeve, raised the cup, and drank the tea.
Judging from the position of Concubine Shen and Yin Su'er, Sister Duo is really golden! But at the angle of Xi Nu, I happened to see Duo Meizi pouring tea into the quilt! Xi Nu's eyes flashed, and the green man withdrew in a sneer.
Yin Su'er was overjoyed, the corners of Concubine Shen's mouth showed a smile that could not be concealed, Princess Duo really drank the tea! This ginger tea was originally unharmed, but Yin Suer heard in her hometown when she was a child that if the flower and the ginger soup were mutually restrained, after the pregnant woman drank it, she would have unbearable abdominal pain in half an hour, and once the spring was over, the mother and child died. This season, the flowers outside are falling, and it is common for the petals of such a big tree to fall into the soup, and when the time comes, they will say that they don't know, and no one will doubt it.
So, Yin Suer found Concubine Shen, and the two conspired together to make this deadly scheme.
"Since the princess has drunk the ginger soup, the concubine will go back to make a windbreaker for the princess for the winter, and the concubine will not disturb the princess's rest." Yin Su'er said with a smile, since she had completed the task, she didn't stay to see Duo Meizi's distorted painful miscarriage expression, so she hurriedly said goodbye.
Concubine Shen glanced at Sister Duo, a little flustered, she always felt that Sister Duo was not simple, she was not afraid of danger in front of the emperor last time, she was very measured and scheming in acting and speaking. Now, Sister Duo should have guessed that this bowl of ginger tea is not simple, otherwise she wouldn't have said such weird things, but why did she raise her head and drink it without hesitation at all? Until leaving, Concubine Shen was still full of doubts.
After the two left, Duo Meizi slowly put down the bowl in her hand, looked at the backs of the two of them and lost her mind for a long time, and only after coming back to her senses did she find that Xi Nu had an incredible expression on her face.
"Miss, why don't you use the gold medal given to you by the emperor to give them death." Xinu said very unhappily.
Duo Meizi rolled up the quilt, and there was a piece of wetness that had just fallen on it: "Do you think it's useful, do they admit it back, but it made me fall into a brutal reputation." ”
