Chapter 188: "Returning the Pearl" III
This poison is easy to solve, but the medicine primer is not easy to find, so I asked Eniang to find it outside the palace!"
"My queen mother, why didn't you say it earlier! If you said it earlier, I will let the old lady find it in the afternoon, maybe I will be able to find this medicine primer tomorrow! What kind of medicine primer is it, how can there be no one in the palace?"
"Rong Mama! I also want to detoxify quickly! But this matter is really urgent! This medicine primer is just a hundred years of moss, but for no reason I am looking for an antidote and moss, it is too eye-catching! I am afraid of startling the grass and the snake, what if they directly attack Yongxuan? Mama, if I tell E-Niang to find a medicine primer in the afternoon, you go on the front foot, E-Niang will send someone to find the medicine primer, this is not to tell the person who did the black hand, we have found their poison? I ...... I'm so afraid I won't be able to save Yongxuan!" Manju said deliberately worried.
"Queen Mother, can we just wait now?" said Rong Mama in despair.
Rong Mama cried sadly, her poor mother! Why did she suffer so much? Knowing that she was poisoned, she couldn't detoxify it immediately! In the past, she persuaded the queen mother not to be like others and not to be angry! What about now? But it was the mother who persuaded her in turn! How distressed she was!
Mama Rong has never hated herself so much, why is she so useless?
Manzhu slowly hugged Mama Rong and leaned her head into her arms, as if she was thrown into her mother's arms!
"Mama! Don't worry! This poison is a chronic* poison that makes people slowly weaken and often get sick, as long as we find it, it will not be terrible! As long as we catch the person who poisoned her and solve her, it will be good! If we want to detoxify, we must take our time, and save the child in my belly first! Mama! You have to be careful! Mama Lin is the emperor's person, Mei Xiang is the queen mother's person, and Yueqiu is the person of Concubine Jia, Yuelan is the person of the pure concubine, and Yuehan is the concubine Ling's ......" Manzhu threw herself into Rong Mama's arms with a smile on her face, she comforted softly, and said slowly.
Mama Rong hugged the queen tightly, the tears on her face were gone, her eyes looked out coldly, but her ears were standing up to listen to the names of the queen's mother, she would not let go of any of these cheap embryos!
It may be that Manzhu said that these 'spies' stimulated Mama Rong, and seeing that Manzhu's behavior in the past half day was very different from usual, and even left the twelve elder brothers overnight for the first time, Mama Rong couldn't help but think too much! Although the mother said that it was okay, she was still very scared in her heart! This night, Mama Rong didn't worry about anyone getting close to the queen and the twelve elder brothers, and at night she simply slept on the couch in front of the queen's bed, no matter how Manzhu persuaded her, she didn't listen!
Looking at the sincere heart of this loyal old woman, Manzhu had no choice but to compromise, fortunately, this foot is nearly fifty centimeters wide, and it can be covered with a quilt for one night!
Manzhu was moved by Mama Rong's loyalty, and thought to herself that Mama Rong was old after all, how could she afford to work so hard for her?
Early the next morning, Duchess Chengen came in with a sign!
"Say hello to the queen, auspicious!" Lady Nala made a big gift as soon as she came in!
"E-niang! they are all their own family, how can they use these false gifts! There are no outsiders here, so you don't need so many courtesies! Mama Rong, quickly help E-niang up!" Manzhu said excitedly.
"Yes, mother!" Mama Rong immediately went over and helped Mrs. Nala up.
The queen has always been strict with the rules, devoted to Qianlong, and does not care about her mother's family. Knowing the queen's attitude, her mother's family kept a low profile, and slowly their relationship with the queen faded. The queen was isolated in both the harem and the previous dynasty, and could only rely on the emperor to survive. To this day, the queen's biological mother, Mrs. Nala, is still worried about her.
"Queen, etiquette must not be abolished! concubines are fine!" said Lady Nala seriously.
"E-niang, my daughter misses you, don't you want Xian'er?" said Manzhu, who got up and walked over to Nara and put her arm around her.
"Yes, yes, how can you not want to?" said Lady Nala, holding Manju's hand with tears in her eyes.
Mrs. Nala is such a precious daughter, she has always been held in the palm of her hand and spoiled, always thinking that when she grows up, she will marry a good family with the family background of the Nala family! But who knows that because the first queen did not have a son-in-law, for the sake of the future of the Nala family, she could only endure the pain of sending her only concubine to Prince Bao as a side concubine, how reluctant she was! When her daughter became the queen, the relationship with the Nala family was estranged, and she regretted it even more in her heart! She regretted that since she decided to send her daughter to the palace in the first place, why didn't she teach her the means of survival in the harem? I regret taking it for granted, thinking that with the presence of the first emperor and the first queen, I will be able to take care of my daughter! Who knew that the first emperor and the first queen would go so early! Her poor stupid daughter gave all her heart to Prince Bao! The most ruthless emperor's family! Her stupid daughter! How could she fall in love with the most ruthless person in the world!
The water spilled by the daughter who got married! Especially this daughter's heart has no mother's family at all, and she only has her emperor in her heart! Mrs. Nala can only watch her daughter go to a dead end step by step! Watching her become the queen, watching her give birth to children, watching her compete with the concubines as the queen of the main palace, watching her children being killed one by one, watching her alienate her family for the emperor, watching her refuse her to enter the palace to see her sign, watching her being rejected by the emperor......
Just when Mrs. Nala was about to despair of the queen, she saw Mama Rong!
Since Mrs. Nala received Mama Rong's message yesterday, she has been restless all night, and she hurried into the palace in the morning! Her own daughter, she could not know her temper, if it were not for the critical situation, she had reached a dead end, how could she say that she dreamed of her and missed her? Since Xian'er became the queen, she has never shown such a little daughter posture, and this time something must be a big incident!
"My daughter saw someone flying a kite yesterday, and she remembered flying a kite with her brothers at home, and she missed Eniang, Ama and her brothers! Eniang, can you accompany your daughter to the Imperial Garden to enjoy kites?" Manzhu said coquettishly.
"Yes, according to you!" said Lady Nala with a look of affection, but the hand holding Manzhu was clenched!
Manzhu talked with Mrs. Nala in the pavilion in the middle of the lake and enjoyed the scenery, and Mama Rong was like a general guarding the only exit of the pavilion, not letting anyone approach, so as not to disturb the Yaxing of the queen's mother and daughter!
No one knew the content of the conversation between the queen and Mrs. Nala, although some people saw the queen shed tears, they all thought that it was because they had not seen their mother for too long, and the queen cried with joy! Seeing that the queen was in a good mood, they all thought that it was just a family routine!
No one knows what huge changes the Duchess Chengen has brought to the Nala family after the queen and Duchess Chengen met this time! Although the queen and her mother's family have been estranged in recent years, this is an expedient move made by the Nala family in order to protect the queen, protect the family, and avoid the emperor's suspicion, and it is not really giving up on the queen! And the queen's attitude also makes them think that she did it on purpose, how could the girl of their Nala family be so stupid?
The power of the Nala family is not gradually declining as it seems, they just turn light into darkness and preserve their strength for the future! The queen in the harem has the power left by Empress Xiaojingxian, it is not difficult to sit firmly in the middle palace, and until the prince grows up safely, the Nala family will always be so low-key and lurking!
But what the Nala family never expected was that the queen would really be so stupid! She would actually abandon the power in the palace left to her by Empress Xiaojingxian! She actually tied her own safety to the emperor! She even kept her situation in the palace hidden for the emperor! If it weren't for the loyalty of the people left by Empress Xiaojingxian this time, she didn't give up this new master who disliked them, and found out that she and the twelve elder brothers were poisoned, and she wouldn't have thought of asking them for help until she died!
No wonder the queen has always refused to see the people of the Nala family! Why is she so confused! It is also blamed that they are too relieved of the queen, but if they are more vigilant, they will not let things fall to such a point! They are careless!
But no matter how much hatred they have for the queen, the Nala family still wants to keep the queen and the heir in the queen's belly! Because their carelessness has already lost the lives of the two elder brothers and Gege, and they can't continue to pay for it!
Looking at the queen's current arrangement, such scheming is not inferior to that of Empress Xiaojingxian, how can she toss herself to such a point? Yes! When the queen first married into Prince Bao's mansion, her performance was still very good, and at that time, even the former emperor also valued her, and it was only after she became the queen that there were rumors of the emperor's affection that she began to change! This love was really terrible!
The top priority at the moment is to find an antidote to the poison first, and the people must also be sent in! The guards in the queen's palace and the twelve elder brothers will all let their own people go! As for the internal affairs office, it must be in their hands, but they underestimated these clothed minions in the past! The Qing Dynasty is the Great Qing Dynasty of their Eight Banners, and they can't tolerate these minions to worship it!
After Mrs. Nala left in a hurry after lunch, Mama Rong ordered the Internal Affairs Office to replace the colored porcelain and brightly colored ornaments in the queen's bedroom, saying that Mrs. Nala thought that the queen's life was too luxurious and her temper was too strong, and asked her to cultivate herself quietly and thriftily!
When Qianlong heard this, he specially came to Kunning Palace to see the recleaned dormitory, and gave an elegant comment! Not to mention the decoration of the queen with a lot of exquisite blue and white porcelain, even Mrs. Nala was rewarded!
On the second day, Manzhu declared that she was unwell and spared the concubines' greetings!
So it was rumored in the palace that the queen was overwhelmed by the emperor's praise for her father's well-bredness, thinking that the emperor had denied all her previous efforts as a queen, and she was overwhelmed and fell ill!
Don't look at Qianlong's kindness to her yesterday, and today she came to Kunning Palace to visit. But in fact, Qianlong has not been to Kunning Palace for a long time, that is, the first and fifteenth days of the new year, they all respect each other like ice, and they are just sleeping together! The queen's situation is actually even worse than Manzhu imagined!
Later, Rong Mama renovated the Kunning Palace and the residence of the Twelve Elder Brothers with great fanfare! Kunning Palace, inside and out, not only the houses but also the people have been changed! In addition to the bright yellow and red rituals and decorations representing the middle palace, all of them are in a light and elegant style, and the blue and white porcelain rewarded by the emperor is also put out, and she tries her best to decorate the elegance that the emperor said!
Soon it was rumored in the palace that the queen wantonly tossed the internal affairs office in order to vomit with the emperor, and also dismissed many people from the internal affairs office! After the concubine made the concubine say bad things about the queen, even Qianlong thought the same way, so that Qianlong's good impression of the queen was gone!
