Chapter 14: The Queen
CHAPTER XIV
It is said that the emperor was angry and sent He Jun to escort the thieves and criminals into the palace, and the emperor personally interrogated him, which caused a sensation in the court.
I heard that the 981 torture instruments in the prison were transported to the emperor one by one for use, and before the punishment was one-third, the thieves could not support it, and even the details of their wealth were entertained.
The chief eunuch personally recorded the confession, and when the emperor saw it, he was even more furious. Then he ordered the thieves to be sent to the prison, and three days later they were dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded to show the public.
In addition, He Jun has a meritorious role in catching thieves, although he has caused the loss of treasures, but he has been rewarded with a hundred taels of silver for his diligent work in the past.
……
Because today's emperor Long Yan was furious and did not step into the harem, the entire sixth palace also seemed quiet and lonely.
Concubine Yun was in a good mood, and after breakfast, she took a sedan chair to the queen's palace.
Since Concubine Yun was favored in the palace, the rest of the concubines did not like her to interact, but the frail and sickly queen took good care of her.
It has been a few days since he entered the palace, but he has rarely heard about the queen, but according to the information sent by Dongyan Tower, he also knows seven or eight points.
The queen is the emperor's closest cousin, born in the palace of the general of Anguo, and the emperor made a marriage contract since childhood.
It's a pity that two years later, the queen became pregnant with a prince.
The prince was born, but he was white, even his eyebrows and hair were extremely pale.
Even if this incident shocked the court, many people secretly discussed that the queen gave birth to a freak monster, and maybe it would ruin the entire Universiade Dynasty in the future.
The ministers also wrote to admonish, requesting that the queen be deposed and sent to the cold palace, and the prince who gave birth to would choose another auspicious day and be executed to thank him for his great sin.
The emperor ignored this, and even destroyed the ministers' letters in the court in public. After that, the emperor ordered that the two imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital be killed for the crime of murdering the queen and the prince.
Murder of the queen and prince?
The emperor explained that Concubine Su Ri in the palace had a grudge against the queen, and took advantage of the queen's fetal recuperation period to bribe two imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital, and prescribed evil drugs to the queen's fetal medicine, in an attempt to kill the queen's son.
How can the Naji people have their own natural appearance, the queen is unhindered, and the prince was born smoothly, but the prince was tragically poisoned, resulting in a white appearance.
This explanation caused a sensation throughout the country.
The ministers had no reason and stopped their banners one after another.
Subsequently, Concubine Min was given to death by poisoned wine and dumped on the outskirts of the city. His own family was also wiped out by the nine clans, and for a time, there was a bloody storm in the capital.
A month later, General Anguo resigned from the position of general, claiming to be discharged and returned to the field, and at the same time offered military power in the southwest and southeast.
The emperor remembered that he had been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and ordered him to be named the king of Anguo County, and his son was demoted to inherit the title and became an auxiliary prince.
In the eyes of smart people, this move is nothing more than an agreement between the emperor and the king of Anguo, and the military power is exchanged for a stable position in the queen's palace. At the same time, it can also take advantage of the situation to destroy the increasingly arrogant and domineering Concubine Min family, saving a lot of worries, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
……
The sedan chair slowly passed the Ruihe Palace, which is the Qifeng Palace where the queen is located.
Entering the palace gate, several palace maids stepped forward to greet them carefully, and the little palace maid who passed on the matter was busy reporting the news to the queen's personal palace maid.
Concubine Yun took Congsi and others into the main hall, and saw the queen drinking tea on the phoenix seat.
Look at the queen, dressed in a peony-colored hundred butterflies and phoenix brocade clothes, covered with a colorful brocade skirt of the same color, and covered with a gilded moon shirt, although her appearance is not as good as that of Concubine Yun, she is also dignified and generous, and can afford the demeanor of a country.
Concubine Yun was supported by Pei Ling, and was about to salute, when the queen spoke: "My sister is heavy now, so I will be free of all the courtesy." ”
Concubine Yun smiled and said, "The concubine thanked the queen!" ”
The queen moved onto the soft seat and let Concubine Yun sit down.
"Since my sister became pregnant, she has been moving around less. I came to Qifeng Palace today, but it made this palace a little more joyful! ”
"The queen mother praised it falsely, the concubine has not come to you for several months, and today I miss it more and more, so I will come to talk about it, and there is another matter, come to relieve the worries of the mother."
The queen covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Concubine Yun is still so sweet-mouthed!" ”
Then he made a look, and his personal palace maid was ordered, waved her hand gently, and the rest of the people in the hall bowed their heads and retreated.
Congsi still stayed in the hall, and saw Concubine Yun speak: "Recently, the concubine found this palace maid, who is good at acupuncture and moxibustion, and her family has always made a living by regulating confinement diseases. She has also learned fur skills. ”
"One day, the concubine had a lot of pain in her abdomen, so she asked her to acupuncture and moxibustion for the concubine, but she never thought that she really cured the concubine's disease."
So the concubine thought that with her ability, she might be able to cure her sister's old illness.
Hearing this, the queen's eyes lit up and she became interested: "What my sister said is true?" ”
"Absolutely."
I saw that the queen's face was unpredictable, and after some entanglement, she listened to Concubine Yun's words, and ordered Congsi to acupuncture for her and try the truth or falsehood.
From the silk obeyed the order, then followed the queen into the palace, and after the queen untied her clothes, she performed acupuncture.
It turned out that since the queen gave birth to the prince, she fell into a confinement disease. Not only does it sweat and suffer from pain all year round, but it is also more difficult to do things, and even repeated body fever and bleeding, and even when coughing, I will unconsciously enuresis.
This is the queen's secret matter, except for the personal palace maid, only Concubine Yun and the exclusive imperial doctor are left to know.
Confinement disease is not big, but if it is not treated in time, many diseases will linger and worsen, and then I want to be treated, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.
The queen's illness was cured for a long time, but there was no improvement, so she was troubled by it day and night, and it was simply miserable.
Therefore, anyone who learns that there is a cure for confinement disease, he will not miss the opportunity and must try it.
I saw that I was able to play with ease, and I pierced the thin needles of different lengths in my hands one by one along the acupuncture points.
She has been learning medical skills with her brother since she was a child, and although her skills are not as good as her brother's, she can also solve some diseases.
Now this queen, the confinement disease has not healed for a long time, and the difficulty of solving it has also made Congsi frown.
So, why should a woman risk having children for a man? Not only do you have to endure the pain of childbirth, but you also have to face the unspeakable symptoms after childbirth.
In Congsi's view, this is nothing more than ruining himself.
"Queen Mother, do you feel cold all day long? Especially the joints of the hands and feet that tingle from time to time? Silk asked in a low voice.
The queen was surprised: "Exactly!" Can you cure this stubborn disease in this palace? ”
Cong Si Fuli said: "As long as Niang Niang insists on acupuncture, she will get better in the future." ”
The queen was overjoyed: "In this case, you should heal the palace!" ”
From the silk order, a few more stitches were pricked.
After a while, the queen felt the heat in her body spread from her lower abdomen, and even the joints and bones that were usually cold warmed a little.
I saw that the queen was so excited that she was about to get up.
Congsi hurriedly helped him up: "Niangniang, don't move during acupuncture. ”
The queen reacted: "Okay, good, good, this palace will lie down." ”
Concubine Yun stepped forward to cover her mouth and smiled: "Niangniang, but it's better?" ”
"Exactly! It's been a long time since this is the case. ”
"That's you! Just take care of it, and you can wait to enjoy it in the future! ’
The queen sighed: "I hope so......"
Seeing this, Concubine Yun learned that the queen was so depressed because she thought of her current situation in the palace.
So the two tacitly agreed and stopped talking.
For a time, the acupuncture of acupuncture in the dormitory, the bed of bedridden, and the strong smell of wormwood smoked.
Because Concubine Yun was pregnant with twin sons, the queen let her go back to Baguio Palace to rest, leaving only Congsi alone.
Concubine Yun thanked the queen and left in a sedan chair.
In the blink of an eye, most of the days passed, and the acupuncture was finally completed.
At this time, the queen had already fallen asleep because of the rare comfort.
Congsi prescribed a prescription for warm supplements, gave it to the queen's personal palace maid, and went back to Baguio Palace alone.
Back at Baguio Palace, Concubine Yun asked about the queen.
Congsi said: "The queen has been sick for many years this month, and if she wants to be thoroughly recuperated, it will be less than one year and more than two years." ”
Concubine Yun was surprised: "It's so serious? ”
Congsi pouted and muttered: "That's natural, I'm not as good as my senior brother's rejuvenation, one or two years is already my limit......"
Hearing this, Concubine Yun sighed softly: "In this way, I haven't seen Xun Di for many years, and I don't know what his situation is now." ”
Congsi teased: "Yo, finally remembered my senior brother?" Ruthless woman. ”
Concubine Yun smiled bitterly: "As, some people are destined to be impossible to be together......"
