Chapter 63: The Night That Can't Be Peaceful
There was a hint of tension in the silence of the Yufu Palace in the middle of the night. All the palace people paid close attention to the movement in the main hall with bated breath.
"Don't worry, the fetus is stable, and there is no big problem." After Tao Xi, the head of the Tai Hospital, carefully checked the pulse, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and after that, he got up and put the pulse pillow into the medicine box, stood aside, and continued, "Niangniang's chest is tight and short, and she is tired. The next official went back to personally make a soothing decoction for Niangniang, and Niangniang drank it and had a good night's rest. ”
"In this way, the palace is relieved." Jin Zhaoyi, the lord of the first palace of the Yufu Palace, smiled gently, "Peiwen, send Lord Tao for the main palace." ”
"Niangniang, Niangniang's chest is tight and short, she must have been visiting the Imperial Garden for a long time today." The maid Jialan knelt on the pedal and gently kneaded Jin Zhaoyi's legs and whispered.
"I haven't been there for a long time, and if I don't go, when the weather is cold, I won't see so many beautiful flowers in the Imperial Garden." Jin Zhaoyi said softly.
"Pei Wen doesn't know how to call a sedan chair for her mother, she is really getting more and more careless." Garland muttered.
"Okay, isn't this all right!" Jin Zhaoyi's gentleness made the resentment in Jialan's heart disappear in an instant, "Go and let the small kitchen make a bowl of sour plum soup, this official wants to drink something cold." ”
"Okay, slave and maid, let's go." Jia Lan glanced at Jin Zhaoyi with a little complaint.
She and Pei Wen are the personal maids brought into the palace by Jin Zhaoyi, and they have grown up with Jin Zhaoyi since childhood. In this huge palace, Jin Zhaoyi can only have such a childlike posture in front of them.
"Niangniang, today the imperial dining room made peach blossom crisp and milk osmanthus soft cheese, and the slave maid also brought some, you can eat a little, and sleep sweetly at night." After a while, Jia Lan and Pei Wen walked into the house with two plates of dim sum and a night of sour plum soup.
"Alas...... I really want my mother to be able to enter the palace to accompany the palace......" Eating milk osmanthus soft cheese, Jin Zhaoyi thought of her mother. The milk osmanthus soft cheese made by her mother is the most delicious in Jin'an City in Jin Zhaoyi's opinion.
"Didn't Your Majesty promise Niangniang to take Madame into the palace next month?" Pei Wen said as she gently fanned the fan to dispel the residual heat for Jin Zhaoyi, "This looks like it's the end of the month, Niangniang wait." ”
"I don't know why, these days the palace is always inexplicably flustered and inexplicably afraid." Jin Zhaoyi said, tears crackling down and smashing into the sour plum soup.
"Niangniang must be pregnant, it's too hard." Seeing Jin Zhaoyi's teary eyes, Pei Wen comforted her repeatedly.
"Look! What is that! As soon as Peiwen's voice landed, the little maid's surprised cry came from the yard.
Jin Zhaoyi and Pei Wen glanced at each other, and struggled to get up and go out to have a look.
Pei Wen and Jia Lan helped Jin Zhaoyi to the door, and before they could ask, they saw a snow-white moth the size of a kite soaring into the air. After circling over the courtyard, he flew towards the northeast corner of the harem.
"That's ...... Moth? Jin Zhaoyi stared blankly at the moths in the distance, a little unbelieving her eyes.
"Xu is a paper kite that is playful and not long-sighted, Niangniang, let's go back to the house." Seeing that Jin Zhaoyi was a little frightened, Jia Lan hurriedly told a lie, and helped Jin Zhaoyi back to the house with a pull.
Jialan gave Pei Wen a look, Pei Wen understood, helped Jin Zhaoyi into the dormitory, and just waited for Jin Zhaoyi to go to bed, Jia Lan walked in with the boiled soup: "Niangniang, drink the soothing soup, rest early."
Jin Zhaoyi Mumu took the bowl in a daze, drank the decoction, lay down without saying a word, and closed his eyes.
"Niangniang is a little weird......" Putting down the curtain, Pei Wen pulled Jialan and whispered.
"You guard Niangniang, I'll ask Imperial Doctor Tao to take a look." Jia Lan also felt that something was not right with Jin Zhaoyi.
"Then you go and come back quickly." Pei Wen nodded.
Jialan trotted all the way to the Tai Hospital, and when she arrived at the Tai Hospital, she found that the Tai Hospital was brightly lit, and all the Tai Doctors looked nervous.
"Why are you here? But Jin Zhaoyi is not comfortable? Before Jialan could ask, Mo Junchen's voice came from behind him.
"Slaves and maids see Your Majesty." Jia Lan hurriedly turned around and knelt down, "My master was frightened, and the slave wanted to ask Master Tao to go and show our master." ”
"How can you be frightened?" Mo Junchen frowned.
"Out of nowhere, a white moth as big as a paper kite flew in......"
"You mean the moth flew out of the Yufu Palace?" Mo Junchen interrupted Jialan's words.
"Yes......" Jia Lan was startled by Mo Junchen's sudden questioning.
"Is Jin Zhaoyi injured?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the master just saw the moth and was frightened." Garland replied truthfully.
"Tao Xi." Mo Junchen summoned Tao Xi with a gloomy face, "Take your things and go to the Yufu Palace with me to have a look." ”
"Yes."
Everyone hurried to the Yufu Palace in the night, but before they arrived at the Yufu Palace, they heard the noise from the Yufu Palace.
Mo Junchen paused, and an ominous premonition hit his heart: "Tao Xi, hurry!"
Tao Xi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly carried the box with the apprentice and trotted towards the Yufu Palace. Jia Lan had already run in front of Tao Xi with red eyes.
"Quick, get water!" Pei Wen's crying voice came from the room.
"What's wrong with the mother?" Jia Lan pushed open the palace door and rushed in. Before entering the dormitory, the strong smell of blood came to her face, Jia Lan's heart was cold, and she suddenly lost all her strength under her feet, and the whole person slid on the ground against the door frame.
"Go boil hot water, boil a lot of hot water, Deng Tao, go cook ginseng soup!" Tao Xi, who trotted all the way over, also smelled the strong smell of blood, didn't care about wiping the sweat off his forehead, and after instructing his little apprentice Deng Tao, he carried the box into the dormitory of Yufu Palace.
"Ahh Jin Zhaoyi let out a terrible scream, which made Mo Junchen, who had just walked to the gate of the palace, feel frightened.
The screams continued one after another, and the smell of blood drifted out of the dormitory through the night, Mo Junchen frowned, pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
After suffering for nearly a stick of incense like this, Mo Junchen saw Tao Xi walking out of the house with blood on his hands, Mo Junchen hurriedly greeted him, and Tao Xi fell to the ground with a plop: "Despicable and incompetent!"
When the words landed, Mo Junchen's heart was half cold.
"The princess was born prematurely, her body is weak, Jin Zhaoyi's mother is damaged, and I am afraid that she will not be able to give birth in the future." Tao Xi knelt at Mo Junchen's feet, not daring to raise his head. Although he saved two lives, he also knew how much the emperor valued Jin Zhaoyi's child, otherwise he would not have ordered himself to take care of it. Although the mother and daughter are alive at the moment, Tao Xi doesn't know if he can survive until dawn.
"It's you! It was your child who killed my child! You give me back my child! As soon as Tao Xi's words fell, a woman's mournful cry came from outside the gate of Yufu Palace.
