44. Wave after wave

Coming out of the Queen Mother's palace, I have been sullen. Although I knew that there might be such a day sooner or later, I still felt very uncomfortable.

Bo Heng was "detained" by the Queen Mother and lectured, and I was kicked out. It's good, I don't want to stay any longer.

On the way back to Kunning Palace, Zhihong hugged me upright: "How good is the relationship between Niangniang and Your Majesty, even ordinary people rarely have a loving husband and wife." What kind of concubine is being forced into it now, really. ”

I smiled helplessly, looking at this outspoken girl who grew up with me. "Childish, that's it. The Queen Mother did not discuss this matter with us, but just perceived the result. The coffin has been closed, and I don't want to bother with words. ”

Zhihong pouted, "That Niangniang, what are you going to do with that concubine?" ”

I recalled the woman's figure and appearance, even if it was a draft, she was a first-class good seedling. Rescue in distress is just a pretense.

"It's not good, the days are still long, let's take a step and see one step at a time." I said.

Late at night, Bo Heng did not return to Kunning Palace to settle. I asked them to go to sleep first, and silently came to the window and sat down to blow the basket.

The melodious music is like my falling thoughts. After the song, it was pitch black outside the window, only stars dotted.

Suddenly, a figure rolled in and covered my mouth as I was about to scream. "It's lonely."

By the faint light of the fire in the temple, I could see that the man was Bo Heng. "Bo Heng, why don't you come in through the main entrance."

Bo Heng patted the dust on his clothes, "The queen mother forcibly asked me to go to Yifang Pavilion to sleep, and I was forced to have no choice but to go in." Then he knocked the Tu family unconscious and came out of the window. ”

I looked at Bo Heng's aggrieved appearance, and I couldn't laugh or cry. I turned around to light a few more candles, but Bo Heng grabbed me from behind.

Bo Heng buried his head in my neck, his warm snort tickling at my heart. "Today's queen mother's actions... Are you angry? ”

I didn't want to say anything against my will, but from the perspective of the Queen Mother, she was not wrong, so I had to nod sullenly.

"I'm not happy, but I know that sooner or later this day will come. So why isn't Tu pitiful? ”

Bo Heng looked up and bit my earlobe. "Why do you say that?"

"Because she is equivalent to marrying someone who doesn't love herself, isn't this an injustice to her." I said.

Bo Heng picked me up and walked to the couch, carefully putting me down. "I thought you'd blame me..."

I was a little embarrassed to stagger Bo Heng's gaze, "No, that's not your willingness. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and it has to be done. ”

Bo Heng smiled and gently stroked the corner of my forehead. "If you are like this, what more can you ask for." Then blow out the candle flame and spend the night that belongs only to us.

When I came back the next morning, I had just arrived at the entrance of the temple, and I looked at the blue figure in the hall.

Sure enough, I can't hide from it.

"The concubine visits the queen, Niangniang, according to the etiquette today, the concubine needs to give you tea."

I always feel weird when I look at the jade-waisted slave kneeling respectfully.

"In that case, let's get started." I didn't want to embarrass her, so I sat down in the main hall.

drank the tea she toasted decently, and the jade waist slave still knelt in front of him with the tea tray. Looking at me with those adorable eyes, I was a little confused.

Or Yun Chun came forward to remind her that I would also use my identity as a wife to lecture her. Looking at that pitiful appearance, I was a little speechless for a while.

"In the past, His Majesty didn't even have a concubine, and suddenly you came for a while, and some people in this palace are not used to it..."

I pondered for a while, "Concubine Yun, I hope you won't do anything that violates morality and your heart in the future." Maybe there are many things you can't help yourself, and this palace won't embarrass you. It's just that people in this palace are complicated..."

I grabbed the jade waist slave and looked straight into her pupils. "Hongu hopes you don't become like that."

There was a hint of confusion on her face, but she still saluted and replied yes. I asked her to come and sit in my palace if she was fine, and life would have to go on.

Today is the second time Yun Zhi has entered the palace, and the jade waist slave is also very knowledgeable to retire first, leaving me to talk to Yun Zhi about some private conversations.

I looked at Yun Zhi, who was single today, "Why didn't you bring Yan'er in, this palace misses her very much." ”

Yun Zhi said with a smile: "Since Yan'er went back that day, she has also told me every day when she will be able to enter the palace again to see that good-looking lady." It's a pity that she has been infected with wind and cold recently, and I am afraid of infecting you, so I won't bring it in. ”

I heard that the little flour dumpling was sick, and I was worried for a while. "Zhihong, go get some good medicinal materials from the warehouse, and I'll bring them back to Mrs. Wang."

Yun Zhi took my hand and said that he was not busy or busy, "It's okay, children are playing, and they often get sick." It's you, how did I hear that the Queen Mother forcibly stuffed a concubine for Her Majesty, but there is such a thing? ”

I nodded, and looked up to signal the jade-waisted slave who hadn't gone far. "It's that woman, and she looks amazing."

Yun Zhi looked at me with some concern, and I grabbed her hand with a groan.

"It doesn't matter, I believe that Your Majesty has a deep relationship with me. A woman who was forcibly sent over couldn't shake it. ”

Yun Zhi saw that I didn't take it to heart, but he didn't bother about this matter anymore. I thought about it, and I always felt that something was missing.

"There is something that I need you to do with General Wang to help the palace." I said.

Yun Zhi nodded and motioned for me to continue. "This jade-waisted slave entered the palace too smoothly, although it is said that the Queen Mother is eager to ask for a son, but there are people who are willing to take advantage of it, you can help me check her life experience."

Yun Zhi agreed, and then started our business.

After a stick of incense, Yun Zhi withdrew his hand to take my pulse. I looked at her somewhat solemn expression and asked eagerly how it was?

Yun Zhi pondered for a while, "This pulse is no different from the one recorded in the Niangniang pulse case, and Niangniang's body is fine. It stands to reason that after a year of recuperation, it should be no problem. ”

Yun Zhi stared at me again, "And Niangniang has been practicing martial arts all year round and is in good health." You shouldn't be pregnant..."

Although these words have been heard thousands of times a thousand times, it is inevitable that Yun Zhi will have the last glimmer of hope. Now it's like a bubble dissipating, and nothing is going on.

I sighed, "Maybe it's because I don't have a relationship with the child, but it's okay, you did your best." ”

Yun Zhi held my hand and comforted me wordlessly.

Childish Red pushed open the door and said that lunch was ready. I looked at the solemn atmosphere, so I invited Yun Zhi to dine together.

"It's here, it's important to eat. Don't refuse today, you can't go to the palace and not let you eat a meal. ”

Yun Zhi nodded, and he didn't shirk it.

Today's dishes are also based on the dishes that Yun Zhi loves to eat, I heard that she likes sourness since she was conceived, so I asked Zhihong to prepare a sauerkraut fish.

The table is full of dishes, fragrant and wanton. Recently, I have been treated by the Queen Mother, and my appetite is not good, and I haven't eaten well.

Looking at the sour appetizers on this table now, I feel that my appetite has increased greatly. I sandwiched a piece of sauerkraut fish meat for Yun Zhi, and I couldn't wait to start eating.

It's just that before a piece of goo meat entered my mouth, Yun Zhi interrupted me.

"Wait!"

Yun Zhi suddenly spoke, so frightened that my flesh almost fell off. I looked at her with a solemn face, as if she was very nervous.

"What's wrong Yun Zhi, but this fish is not to your taste?" I was just about to beckon the palace maid to remove the fish, but Yun Zhi told me that it was okay.

"Courtiers are not used to eating on weekdays, and there are so many people watching, some of them are not used to it. Can the mother let the immature girl and the palace maids go down first? Yun Zhi said.

I glanced at the dishes on the table and understood. "Go down first."

When everyone is gone, it's just the two of us. I asked uneasily, "But what's wrong with the food?" ”

Yun Zhi nodded and put the fish on the plate. When the hairpin is plucked and picked open with a pointed tip, there are many fine black particles on the surface of the fish.

"Do you know what this is?" Yun Zhi asked me as he fiddled with the black substance.

"Oh, yes, it doesn't matter. It's just the pepper that was paid tribute to the Western Regions, and it was added to the dish to make the dish more delicious. "I remember that this is a common item in the kitchen.

"No, it's not." Yun Zhi's face turned pale, "Although it is very similar to pepper crumbs, it is definitely not pepper." ”

I looked at Yun Zhi's serious face and chuckled in my heart. "That's..."

"It's a good idea, a good means. No wonder Niangniang can't find out why she can't be pregnant, it's like this. ”

Yun Zhi took out the black crumbs, got them into his handkerchief, and carefully put them into his arms.

"Niangniang, this thing is a persimmon pedicle. It is dried and ground into powder and added to the diet, which has the effect of contraception. It's subtle and not easy to notice. ”

Listening to Yun Zhi's words, I was like five thunderbolts. It turned out that it was never my fault, but because of what I always thought was pepper.

"Are you sure?" My voice trembled slightly, and I looked at the table in disbelief.

"I'm not sure yet, but in terms of symptoms, eight or nine are not far from ten. I'll take some back, don't make a noise, this thing doesn't hurt your body. We'll talk about it until we find out! Yun Zhi said.

I nodded, a chill in my heart. How did this medicine silently hide from hundreds of people up and down the palace to add to the meal, and when was it added.

When I married Bo Heng, or when I became a queen. Either way, the people behind this are scheming and chilling.

Yun Zhi excused himself unwell and left without eating. I followed her instructions and finished the meal as if nothing had happened.

Three days later, Yun Zhixiu Shu entered the palace. The letter was just one line, [I heard that a florist has cultivated new flowers, and it turned out to be true. 】

The tacit understanding of knowing each other when I was young, how I don't understand that what Yun Zhi wrote is actually the fact that I was drugged. I clutched the note in anger and burned it out.

Anger arose in my heart about who was so calculating. Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, we must think about it in the long run.

I pretended to be careless and asked Yun Chun which imperial chef was in charge of the food and drink in Kunning Palace, Yun Chun wiped the porcelain bottle and said that it was an old man who entered the palace when Emperor Kang Yuan was still there.

can buy through so many people, but I'm afraid that the status will not be too low. I silently sighed, saying that I was a little tired of eating.

In the future, let's do it in the small kitchen of Kunning Palace, and give me a change of taste. Yun Chun agreed and went to do it, and it didn't seem to be abnormal.

There are hundreds of people up and down in Kunning Palace, and the only one I can trust is Zhihong. But Zhihong is a heartless person, so she can only observe silently.

At night, I stood at the window, looking at the palace engulfed by the thick black, and my heart was in turmoil.
