Chapter 93: Miscarriage
"It's easy to do!" Wen Xun'er knew her embarrassment, and made a plan, "Later, you go out and say a few words, if someone is aggressive, you will faint directly, and when the time comes, let the imperial doctor diagnose a fetal position that is unstable, and they will not dare to make trouble!" ”
"Really?"
"It is a big crime to murder the emperor's heir, if the emperor wakes up and knows, he must not pick their skin!"
Concubine Yue felt that Wen Xun'er made sense: "Okay, then do it!" ”
She instructed the palace people: "Mama Qin, you go and inform the people who have come here in the past few days, and let them all come over tomorrow, I want to see what they have to say!" ”
Mama Qin responded, and Concubine Yue's bright eyebrows frowned again: "I don't know when the emperor will wake up!" ”
Early the next morning, there were people gathered outside Concubine Yue's palace.
Wen Xun'er was not suitable to appear on such an occasion, so she avoided it in the inner room, she probably heard Concubine Yue tell the emperor about the current situation, but it was an understatement, saying that the emperor had injured the back of his head, and he had spent more time asleep than he was awake these days, and he had to wait for the imperial doctor acupuncture to dredge the blood congestion in his brain before he could wake up completely.
She repeatedly emphasized that it was the small things so that everyone did not have to make a fuss.
"If it's really that simple, then why doesn't the queen let us all visit?"
"yes, yes!" The concubines chimed in.
"It's been a few days now, and the emperor hasn't shown his face once, if he really wakes up, why can't his son be gone? Several princes have been kneeling outside the dormitory for a few days! ”
"But no, it rained heavily yesterday, and the princes were drenched, and the three highnesses were directly infected with the wind and cold, just like that, the emperor didn't summon any of them!"
"Concubine Yue, now you are the biggest in the entire harem except for the queen mother, if you don't tell the truth, what can we do!"
"yes, yes!"
The palace concubines have begun to cry.
There are two concubines who are pregnant like Concubine Yue, and they also have big bellies, which is quite uncomfortable there.
Concubine Yue was embarrassed.
Mama Qin secretly pulled her sleeve behind her, and the implication was that she could start performing.
Concubine Yue was at ease, and pursed her lips: "Since everyone has begged me to come to me, then okay, today, I will make this trip for everyone, but if the emperor is really as I said, you sisters don't want to make the emperor unhappy again!" ”
The concubines hurriedly agreed.
Wen Xun'er saw Concubine Yue take people out of the palace like this, and knew that she must be worried about the emperor, so she took this opportunity to take a look with her own eyes.
She sighed inwardly.
That's fine, after seeing it, Concubine Yue can be completely at ease, and besides, with so many palace concubines here this time, maybe the queen will let her in under pressure.
Wen Xun'er didn't know what was going on outside, but about an hour later, someone from the palace hurriedly replied: "Miss Wen, it's not good, Concubine Yue passed out outside the dormitory!" ”
Wen Xun'er was startled, and hurriedly followed the leader to the emperor's bedroom, and saw the queen anxiously holding Concubine Yue, and on the side, it was the imperial doctor who diagnosed Concubine Yue's pulse.
The imperial doctor carefully checked the pulse before saying: "The weather is hot, and Concubine Yue is cold, and she can't stand it for a while!" According to Weichen's opinion, it is better to send Concubine Yue back to the palace first, and it is best to recuperate, so as not to be bad for the fetus! ”
The queen responded, and hurriedly sent someone: "Quick, send Concubine Yue back to the palace!" ”
Concubine Yue was dizzy, and the rest of the palace concubines didn't dare to make a mistake.
Wen Xun'er followed Concubine Yue back to the palace, only to see that her face was pale and her fingers were cold, which was obviously caused by heat.
The imperial doctor gave Concubine Yue an injection.
Half an hour later, Concubine Yue woke up slowly, saw Wen Xun'er, and couldn't help but hold her dizzy head: "What's wrong with me?" ”
"In front of the emperor's bedroom just now, you were so emotional that you fainted!" Mama Qin was afraid for a while when she said this, "Concubine Yue, your physique is different from others, you still have to be careful with this baby!" ”
Concubine Yue was also a little surprised when she heard this.
"I fainted!"
The memory came into her mind, and she looked at Mama Qin: "What about the other palace concubines?" ”
"They were reprimanded by the queen, saying that they forced the mother to go to the palace in front of the emperor's bedroom, causing the fetal position of the concubine to be unstable, almost having a miscarriage, and it was a plot to kill the emperor's heir.
Concubine Yue was a little unwilling: "It's a pity! I originally wanted to take this opportunity to take a look at the emperor, but I don't know how he is now! ”
"At this time, auntie, you still have to take care of your body!" Wen Xun'er persuaded.
Concubine Yue didn't know the emperor's situation, so she was in a hurry.
The emperor's fall was really serious, after all, he was old, and he had a stroke directly.
If Concubine Yue knew that the emperor was unconscious at this time, she wouldn't even be able to speak, but she was afraid that she would be even more anxious!
But Wen Xun'er couldn't tell her these details.
"Mother, the queen is here!" The palace maid suddenly hurried to report.
Before Concubine Yue could calm down, she saw a person coming in surrounded by everyone, it was the queen.
She was wearing a long black dress embroidered with a red gold phoenix, her hair was coiled high, and she wore a crown of nine phoenixes, and she entered majestically, facing the saluting crowd, her eyes were cast on Concubine Yue on the couch, and her stern face just now was slightly relieved.
"Say hello to the queen!"
Concubine Yue hurriedly got up and saluted.
The queen sat down on the upper seat, and then said, "Okay, get up."
The palace people helped the pale Concubine Yue up, and the queen motioned to the people around her: "Let's all go down, I'll say a few words to Concubine Yue alone!" ”
Wen Xun'er could only follow everyone out of the house.
After everyone dispersed, the queen personally helped Concubine Yue to the seat next to her, and said with a bitter look: "Concubine Yue, those concubines are not sensible and go to the palace to make trouble, why are you not sensible?" The emperor fell off the horse, so high, I want to know that the fall is not light, if the emperor's illness is exposed in front of people, do you know what the consequences will be? ”
"What's wrong with the emperor?" Concubine Yue asked here, with tears in her eyes.
The queen fell silent.
"The imperial doctor diagnosed and treated, saying that the emperor fell his brain and had a stroke."
"Stroke?" Concubine Yue was so excited that her fingers trembled, "Isn't that paralyzed?" ”
The queen nodded with difficulty: "Not to mention paralysis, the emperor is not over the danger period now, and he can't even recognize people clearly, and his face is ...... Big change, this palace is afraid that you are pregnant, and when the time comes, you will hurt your body with excitement, so I won't let you go to see it, not that I won't tell you the truth! You don't want to think about it, if the emperor's appearance is looked at by the concubines, it will be better in the future, if there are three long and two short, wouldn't it be insulting to the holy face? ”
Concubine Yue was moved by her seemingly sincere words, got up from her seat, and knelt down silently in front of the queen: "It's the concubine who is stupid!" ”
"You!" The queen helped her up, "You have a simple temperament, this palace has always known that you don't have any bad intentions, so I don't blame you, it's just that you are pregnant now, and this palace really doesn't want you to participate in these rights and wrongs anymore, and I'm afraid that those concubines will pull you to do foolish things again, so let's put it, during this time, you go to live in Nian Ci Wan for a period of time, just pray for the emperor and the child, and when the emperor is better, the palace will let people inform you, and you will come back, how about it?" ”
"My sister wants me to go?"
Concubine Yue was clearly unhappy.
"Concubine Yue!" The queen became serious, "Your fetal position is already unstable, you can't solve anything by the emperor's side, there are still this palace and the princes here, if the emperor can get better, the palace will immediately send someone to pick you up, and Nian Ci Yan has not left the city, you want to come back, you can come back at any time!" ”
Concubine Yue thought for a while: "But I can't just ignore it!" ”
"You don't care about it, you are praying for the emperor! Pray for the blessing of my Great Flame Country! The queen took her hand and softened her voice, "Pray for the heir in your womb!" ”
Concubine Yue didn't speak for a long time, and in the end, she could only agree.
After sending the queen away, Wen Xun'er had already guessed what the queen said.
"Auntie, how's it going?"
Concubine Yue put away the weak and pitiful appearance just now, and wiped the corners of her eyes: "She asked me to live in Nian Ci Wan and pray for the emperor!" In a place like Nian Ciyun, if the emperor has three long and two short, can I still come back? Thought I didn't know what she was up to! The emperor was just sick and not dead, so she began to exclude dissidents and began to seize power! I won't go! ”
"No, Auntie, you should go!"
Concubine Yue was stunned for a moment and looked at Wen Xun'er.
Wen Xun'er squatted down in front of her and held her hand: "You are under the nose of the queen mother, you will only be hindered in everything, and you can only show your strength when you leave!" There is the queen mother and the eldest prince in the palace, you can't bargain, it's better to leave first, let them relax their vigilance, and then wait for the opportunity to respond to all changes, if the emperor really has an accident, you can also bring someone to kill back! ”
Wen Yue was stunned and looked at Wen Xun'er: "Who can I bring?" I have no one but the Wen family! ”
Wen Xun'er put her other hand on the back of her hand: "It's the Wen family!" There are tens of thousands of soldiers outside the imperial city, and the people who are guilty of rebellion are prevented, if the prince really has a change at that time, we will go to the outside of the city to ask for troops! Wen Jia has served the imperial court for so many years, and his loyalty is in the eyes of everyone, not to mention that the emperor may not wake up! ”
Concubine Yue was moved and responded.
The day of leaving the palace was set for the next morning.
That night, the palace people urgently packed Concubine Yue's luggage, afraid that Gu Yun would be restrained in the palace, Wen Xun'er proposed to take Gu Yun away as well.
Concubine Yue naturally didn't worry that he was alone in the palace, so she immediately agreed.
Early the next morning, several carriages came out of the side door of the palace, with Concubine Yue and Gu Yun in front of the carriage, Wen Xun'er and Xiao Jiwei followed closely behind, and then the accompanying palace people and the things they carried on this trip.
"I asked for a token from my aunt, and later you will take the token to the heavenly prison to pick up people, you tell them your true identity, and exchange freedom and military industry, Zhang Yuan and they will definitely agree!"
Speaking of this, Wen Xun'er put a jade pendant into Xiao Jiwei's palm: "This is Zhang Yuan's daughter's earring, you tell him that as long as he can go with you, from now on, not only will he not have to be incognito, but he can also meet his daughter in a dignified manner!" ”
Xiao Jiwei pinched the nude jade pendant and looked at Wen Xun'er: "You're not afraid, I have gained power, and it is not good for the Wen family to you?" ”
Wen Xun'er smiled: "I entrust my net worth and life to you, so that the Wen family will be unscathed in the future, Xiao Jiwei, you promised me before, swear by your mother, you will not touch the Wen family, have you forgotten?" ”
Xiao Jiwei's face darkened: "You have been calculating me since then?" ”
"It's not a calculation, it's a deal! Said okay, I will help you to rise to the top, you don't move the Wen family, you see, now Zhang Yuan I have given it to you, if you protect Concubine Yue and Xiaoyun this time, and then protect the meritorious, you are the great hero of the Great Yan Country, what kind of fame and fortune, it is not a matter of the emperor's words! ”
Xiao Jiwei didn't speak.
He admits he's impressed.
The escort is meritorious, and the powerful position is close at hand, which is much faster than fighting on the battlefield, and if Wen Xun'er didn't lie to himself, Zhang Yuan's party can really be called his most powerful weapon!
"Okay, I promise you!"
The carriage went out of the palace gate and arrived at the pipeline at the intersection with the heavenly prison, Xiao Jiwei jumped out of the carriage with a token and a jade pendant.
It's a matter of success or failure.
An hour later, the crowd arrived at Nenji.
The abbot of Nian Ci Wan learned of Concubine Yue's arrival in advance, and led the nuns of the whole temple to come out to greet him.
After settling down, Concubine Yue went to the Guanyin Hall of the main temple with the abbot, wanting to pray for the emperor with the chanting of scriptures.
The holy land of Buddhism, for the time being, there will definitely be no one messing around.
Wen Xun'er didn't follow, but walked around the temple to breathe in the outside air.
Although it is already June, the temple is located in the middle of the mountain, the temperature is much lower than the bottom of the mountain, and today is a cloudy day, there is no sun, the outside scenery is pleasant, standing on the temple at the top of the mountain, there is quite a feeling of seeing the small mountains.
Xiao Jiwei came back in the evening, his eyebrows and eyes were shining.
He looked at Wen Xun'er differently.
"He agreed!" He couldn't hide his excitement, "He said, as long as I can get him out of the prison, he will regard me as the master in the future!" ”
Wen Xun'er nodded: "Congratulations!" Gotta get a fight! ”
Xiao Jiwei curled the corners of her lips rarely, and followed her to look at the magnificent mountains and rivers below: "It's too early to congratulate, I haven't thought of a way to save them yet!" ”
"There's no hurry." Wen Xun'er laughed, "When you want to use them, there will naturally be a way!" ”
Xiao Jiwei already believed what she said, and was full of fighting spirit.
I don't know when, his future seems to be no longer dark, he can see the faint starlight, which is guiding him forward, fearless!
The days in the temple, coarse tea and light rice, accompanied by the morning bell and dusk drum every day, without any waves, but also make people clear their hearts and nourish their nature.
Wen Xun'er was counting the days.
After a week of the emperor's coma, his condition deteriorated, and he fell into a deep coma for a time, and even the imperial doctor concluded that the probability of waking up was extremely low, and at this time, the queen decided to close the net.
The first step is naturally to strangle the most competitive concubine.
And Concubine Yue is far away in Nian Ciyun, without the protection of officers and soldiers, it is easy.
But the queen didn't plan to make a big move.
Concubine Yue without the Wen family is no threat, and what can threaten her is the imperial heir Gu Yun and the child in Concubine Yue's womb!
So, she had to get rid of these two scourges!
In the evening, it rained again.
The lightning kept slashing the trees on the mountain, causing a mountain fire for a time, but it was soon extinguished by the ensuing downpour, and the abbot led everyone to knock on the wooden fish in the temple and chant the scriptures, accustomed to such weather.
I don't know if the thunder outside was too loud, Concubine Yue was suddenly frightened, and the child in her womb moved, and kicked her violently, as if she was uneasy.
She hurriedly got up, and after saying goodbye to the abbot, she decided to go back first.
"Mother, the rain is so heavy, otherwise, let's wait!" Mama Qin looked at the lightning and thunder outside, a little scary, afraid that Concubine Yue would fall.
Concubine Yue shook her head: "The child kicked me very quickly, as if he was frightened by the thunder, anyway, there are only a few steps, so let's go back to the room first!" ”
The wing room is at the back of the temple, about three meters away, Mama Qin saw this, so she didn't insist, raised the umbrella to Concubine Yue's head, and then protected her shoulder: "Then let's go, the old slave protects Niangniang!" ”
Concubine Yue lifted the hem of her skirt and walked with her in the rain.
The distance of two or three hundred meters is a few steps away.
The two of them looked down at the road, but they didn't see a nun running from a distance with her head covered with her hands.
Wen Xun'er stood on the second floor of the wing, and saw the nun running towards Concubine Yue like this, and her heart rose to her throat.
But she didn't warn.
With a "bang", the umbrella in Mama's hand fell to the ground, Concubine Yue was knocked to the ground, blood flowed down her thighs, and she screamed in panic: "Mama, Mama!" ”
Mama Qin came back to her senses and saw the blood on Concubine Yue's leg and shouted anxiously: "Oh my God, Niangniang, you are bleeding!" Come on, come on! ”
When the masters in the hall heard the movement, they hurriedly sent Concubine Yue back to the room, Wen Xun'er greeted her and held Concubine Yue's hand tightly: "Auntie, aunt is fine, someone has already gone to ask for a royal doctor!" ”
They brought an imperial doctor with them on this trip, but because this was a nunnery, the man's residence was in the back, and the imperial doctor was living in the back room at the moment.
According to the plot in the book, the imperial doctor arrived in time to protect Concubine Yue's child.
But tonight, there is no imperial doctor.
The palace people who went out pounced, and when they came back, they cried urgently: "The medicine boy said that Imperial Doctor Qiu went down the mountain to buy medicine during the day, and he should have been delayed by the rain and not come back!" ”
"Don't send someone to pick it up yet!" Mama Qin said hurriedly, "If the mother and the imperial heir have three long and two short, you all have to be buried together!" ”
The palace people were so frightened that they hurriedly sent someone to go.
The thunder and lightning outside continued, and Concubine Yue grabbed Wen Xun'er's hand painfully: "Xun'er, keep the child for me, keep the child!" ”
Mama Qin was so anxious that she burst into tears.
Wen Xun'er agreed.
It's just that the group didn't wait for the imperial doctor for a long time.
No one in the nunnery would look at the illness of a miscarriage, so they only cooked a bowl of medicinal soup to replenish qi for Concubine Yue to drink.
Concubine Yue was trembling in pain.
"Why hasn't the imperial doctor come yet!"
She felt that the child would not be able to be saved!
The imperial doctor finally came covered in water, and as soon as he came to the room, he knelt on the ground with a "poof": "Niangniang atonement!" Weichen was originally able to come back in time, but on the way up the mountain, I don't know who lost a lot of nails, and the horse was pierced and ran away, so I was too late! ”
"Stop talking, hurry up and come and see Niangniang!"
The imperial doctor hurriedly trembled and pressed his hand to Concubine Yue's pulse, but at this moment, he only heard Concubine Yue's scream, and Mama got under the quilt to take a look, and her face turned white.
