Chapter 17: Killing Machine (I)
After another month, after a frost, the air suddenly added a lot of chill, except for the chrysanthemums that are not afraid of the cold, the other flowers have withered, those thick green leaves have been dyed with a thin layer of golden mist, Jiulong Lake and Baihe Lake are often shrouded in a vast fog. Its color is bleak, and the smoke is flying; Its appearance is clear, the sky is high and the sun is crystalline; Its breath is cold, and it is muscular and bone-like; Its meaning is depressed, and the mountains and rivers are lonely.
One day, Lu Yuan sat back to Jingxi Palace from Liangchang, and just walked out not far, he suddenly found that the hand stove was forgotten in Chunhe Palace, so he ordered Mingqing, who followed him, to go back to get it, and he went back to the palace first.
Crossing a path, is the Qingfu Canal, which is to divert the water of Baihe Lake and meanders to Qiongyuan to water the flowers and trees in the garden. The lotus flowers in the canal have long since withered, and the lotus leaves have withered. A three- or four-meter-long bamboo bridge on the canal is the only way to Jingxi Palace.
Lu Yuan stepped on the bamboo bridge, and the bamboo creaked under his feet. As soon as he reached the center of the bridge, suddenly the bamboo under his feet snapped and broke, and Lu Yuan fell into the water before he could shout.
The water in the canal is about two meters deep, the water is cold and biting, Lu Yuan originally knew a little about water, how could he suddenly fall into the water and was frightened, and the water was extremely cold, and he didn't feel that his hands and feet were flustered, and a few mouthfuls of water choked into his lungs, and his heart was cold. She struggled to breathe and skied hard to keep her head out of the water. In the distance, she saw several guards running over, and heard a noisy voice shouting: "Someone has fallen into the water, save someone!" Then there were a few plops of jumping into the water, she knew that she was saved, and after a little hesitation, her heart was crossed, she no longer struggled to paddle, and let her body submerge into the water, and her consciousness gradually blurred......
Yu Lin was surprised when he heard the report that Ying Guiren had fallen into the water, and hurried to Yurun Hall, where the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and others had gathered in the outer room, and the Imperial Physician Liu Junxiao was treating Lu Yuan.
Yu Lin stepped to the bed in the inner room, and saw that Lu Yuan was still unconscious, her hair was wet, scattered messily on the soft pillow, and there was a trail of water on the pillow, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, her eyebrows were slightly locked, her breath was short, and cold sweat kept breaking out on her forehead.
Yu Lin eagerly asked Imperial Doctor Liu, "How is the noble Ying?" ”
Imperial Physician Liu lowered his head and said: "The water that the noble man choked in has been spit out, and there is no major problem, but he is frightened and frightened, so he has not yet woken up." ”
After listening to this, he felt a little relieved, and came out to comfort the Queen Mother and said: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, Yuanyuan is fine, but she has not woken up yet, and I will let the Imperial Doctor take care of it." The queen mother has always been in poor health lately, so let's go back and rest quickly. Yuanyuan woke up, and the retainers would send someone to report it. The queen also frequently persuaded her, and the queen mother had to help Jingzhu's hand and go back to Ci'an Palace.
Yu Lin looked coldly at the palace people serving in Yurun Hall, his face turned pale, and he said sharply: "Who is serving the noble Ying, why did he fall into the water!" ”
Ming Qing's body shook, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave and maid came out of the Chunhe Palace with the little master, and because the hand stove forgot to take it, the little master ordered the slave and maid to go back to get it, and he went back to Yuruntang alone." It's a slave who is not good, and the little master should not be allowed to go alone, please punish the emperor. ”
The queen said generously: "She is not at fault, but it happened that Ying Guiren fell into the water when she left." ”
Yu Lin's face was very unhappy, he called Li Zhong and said solemnly: "Go and find out why Ying Guiren fell into the water immediately." Return to me by noon tomorrow! Li Zhong led the order and left.
At this moment, Imperial Physician Liu came out of the inner room, knelt down in front of Yu Lin, and said, "The noble little lord is now relieved, and he should wake up in a while." There's just one thing....."
"What's the matter? Hurry up! Yu Lin asked eagerly.
"According to the pulse, it seems that Ying Guiren has been pregnant for less than two months, but because of the early stage of conception, and the water is frightened, the fetal image is extremely unstable, I am afraid it is ......"
Yu Lin originally heard that Lu Yuan was pregnant, and his face unconsciously showed joy, and when he heard that the fetus was unstable, his face changed, and he said in a solemn voice: "I'm afraid of what?" We must take good care of Ying Guiren and keep the dragon fetus! ”
Imperial Physician Liu paused and said: "Weichen must do his best, but if the dragon fetus is not guaranteed, it is indeed a lack of skills to return to heaven, and I hope that the emperor will forgive his sins." ”
Yu Lin was about to have a seizure, and the queen persuaded beside her: "Imperial Doctor Liu has always been loyal and sincere, and since he said so, it must be that the fetus of the Ying nobles is indeed dangerous." Originally, the fetus was unstable at the beginning of conception, and it fell into the water and was frightened, how could it be restrained. However, the concubine believes that the Ji people have their own natural appearance, and believes that the Ying nobles and the dragon fetus will turn the corner. ”
Listening to the queen's words, Yu Lin was silent. For a while, Lu Yuan woke up and forced herself to ask the emperor and the queen for peace, but the queen hurriedly pressed her back to the bed, slowly told her about the pregnancy, and told her to recuperate with peace of mind and keep the dragon fetus.
Yu Lin also tried his best to comfort her, and personally fed her a cup of brown sugar bird's nest to ward off the cold and suppress the shock. Yu Lin saw that she was gradually recovering, and asked the imperial doctor to see and recuperate, and went back to Chengming Hall to deal with government affairs, and the queen sat for a while, and also went back to Kunyi Palace.
The Queen Mother got the news and immediately got up to visit, and was persuaded by Jingzhu bitterly, since the beginning of autumn, the Queen Mother's health has deteriorated, and she has been diagnosed and treated by a doctor, and the soup and medicine continue every day, but it is not good. The Queen Mother had to send Jingzhu to visit Yuruntang, and sent two good mountain ginseng and many other supplements, ordering her to take good care of herself. Other concubines came to visit. It wasn't until dusk that everyone gradually dispersed, and Yuruntang calmed down.
In the inner hall, Lu Yuan was lying on the bed, leaning on the soft pillow of the golden branch, hugging the soft cloud silk quilt, the splendid sachet hanging on the bed exuded the slight sweet fragrance of the fragrance in the goose pear tent, the scene of the Qingfu Canal falling into the water seemed to be far away, and it was vaguely unclear, her slender fingers brushed the lower abdomen, the lower abdomen was flat, but there was a small life growing silently in it, but now this little life was in danger. She regretted very much that she should not have given up saving herself at the last moment, maybe she had been rescued ashore earlier, and the child would have been safe and sound. The unstoppable heartache and remorse hit her heart, tears unconsciously welled up in her clear eyes, her fingers tightly grasped the red and silky brocade quilt, staring at the phoenix sycamore embroidered on the brocade quilt in a daze, letting the tears drip on the brocade quilt, wetting a piece.
Bi Luo held a cup of ginseng tea, walked over gently, took a small silver spoon and stirred it slowly, and said: "Little master, don't be too sad, Imperial Doctor Liu will try his best to diagnose and treat, the queen mother is also chanting and praying for the little lord and the dragon fetus in the Baohua Palace, with the blessing of the queen mother and the emperor, the dragon fetus will be safe and sound." As he spoke, he handed the ginseng tea at just the right temperature to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan took the teacup, but she had no intention of drinking the tea, and sighed: "How do you know the pain in my heart!" Originally, I knew a little about the nature of water, but the water in the canal was not very deep, and the guards came to the rescue, so I would not have drowned in this water for such a long time. I saw the strangeness of the broken bamboo bridge, and guessed that it was man-made, so I deliberately gave up saving myself and let myself sink to the bottom, delaying the time for the guards to rescue. If I had known that I had a child in my womb, I would not have acted so rashly, and perhaps the child would have been fine. As he spoke, tears flowed down his eyes like pearls.
Biluo said with relief: "Little master, don't blame yourself too much, you are already in the early stage of conception, the fetus is unstable, and you are frightened and cold, and the fetus cannot be saved." Now that you are too sad, it will only be more detrimental to the safety of the fetus, so you must take care of the fetus with peace of mind. ”
When Lu Yuan heard this, she gradually stopped her sadness, suddenly remembered something again, and said eagerly: "Don't let the Queen Mother worry about hurting her spirits, her old man's holy body has always been not very healthy, if she kneels and recites for a long time, how can she stop it." I'm going to Ci'an Palace to see the Queen Mother! "I wanted to get out of bed for a long time.
The bluffed Biluo and Chunhua hurriedly stopped her and said, "The doctor has told me, the little master must not get out of bed and walk around at will now, it is important to protect the fetus, and it must be very appropriate for the Queen Mother to have Aunt Jingzhu to take care of her." As long as the little lord and Longtai are healthy, the queen mother will also be healthy. When Lu Yuan heard this, he had to lie down again.
