Chapter 16: Luo Zhihua (16)
"Imperial Doctor Luo, Nian Concubine's fetus has always been watched by you. She had poor bones in the early stages of pregnancy, but later, the fetus has always been stable. ”
There was a heavy atmosphere in Furong Xuan, which made everyone dare not make a sound. Only the emperor, when he knew that everything was irretrievable, opened his mouth.
Russell listened to the emperor's words, stabilized his mind, and said, "Back to the emperor, it's true!" It stands to reason that the little master of the concubine has been pregnant for nearly seven months, and even if the fetal gas is unstable, it will not cause a miscarriage. ”
And I, afraid that the emperor would blame Russell for this, hurriedly opened my mouth and said the doubts in my heart, "Yes, Emperor, Qing'er's stomach has been seven months." Even if she accidentally fell, it was a premature birth rather than a miscarriage, unless Qing'er ate something that shouldn't be eaten and used something that shouldn't be used. ”
After speaking, I saw that the emperor's expression was very ugly, and I said nervously, "But Qing'er has always been extremely careful about her stomach, how could she be so careless?" Emperor...... Please also ask the emperor to make the decision for Qing'er! ”
"What the little master Jieyu said is good" My voice fell, Russell glanced at me, and then said, "Yesterday, Weichen came to Furong Xuan to check the pulse of the little master, and at that time, the little master's fetal image was extremely stable, and there was no discomfort in his body.
But what is strange is that when Wei Chen was checking the pulse of the little concubine, he found that the cold air in the little concubine was very strong.
The only thing that can make pregnant women go from stable fetal image to abortion in the shortest possible time is safflower. Therefore, Weichen deduced that the little master of Nian Concubine must have eaten a large amount of safflower to cause miscarriage. ”
Safflower......
When I heard this, a lot of cold sweat broke out on my body.
Even though I hadn't touched it, I knew how terrible it was.
Don't say that it is in the Forbidden City, even if it is a woman in the backyard of an ordinary person's house, she is terrified when she hears the word safflower.
This thing is a forbidden drug.
Without waiting for me to think about it, I only heard the emperor's voice sound again: "Come on, go and bring the black chicken soup on the table to Dr. Luo for examination." ”
Hearing this, I turned my eyes to look at the Gu jar on the table.
Nine flying dragons were carved on the outside of the Gu jar, which was a porcelain unique to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
I heard that Qing'er's sister has a bad appetite recently. Therefore, no matter how busy the emperor is with government affairs, he will take time out every day to cook some food for her.
It is said that these Gu jars will never stay overnight outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace. Every day, after Sister Qing'er's meal has been over, the people from the Heart Cultivation Hall will come to Furong Xuan to take away the Gu jar.
How......
Would the emperor doubt what he had done with his own hands?
Russell's medical skills have always been excellent, he only took the Gu jar, fished out the black chicken residue and smelled it.
Then, he picked out a small piece of black chicken and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, and then affirmed, "Back to the emperor, there is a lot of saffron in this black chicken!" ”
"Saffron?" The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous aura, "How can there be such a thing in the palace!" It's hard to do it, there are still people in this palace who can't stand it privately with people outside! ”
I stared at the emperor's face carefully, for fear of missing any of his expressions.
The black chicken soup came out of the Yangxin Temple, and now, it contains a lot of red flowers. In this case, how can I not be careful?
There is a place next to it, how can there be these harmful things in the Heart Cultivation Palace!
Could it be that what happened a few days ago made the emperor suspicious of Qing'er's sister! Therefore, he found an opportunity to knock down the child in Qing'er's sister's womb?
However, if this is the case, why did the emperor take the initiative to ask Russell to test the black chicken soup?
In the end, did the emperor take this opportunity to warn the people in the harem not to investigate this matter deeply, or did I misunderstand him?
Just when I was puzzled, the emperor was tired and said to me and Concubine Hua, "You have always been good friends with Aqing, and I will leave this matter to you." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The concubines must do their best to share the emperor's worries. ”
I hung our heads with Concubine Hua and replied respectfully.
Then, the two looked at each other, and each was relieved.
I knew that when I saw that the Gu jar was from the Heart Cultivation Palace, Concubine Hua Niangniang, like me, was very suspicious. But now judging from the emperor's performance, there must be something strange about this matter!
If Qing'er's sister's miscarriage was the emperor's handiwork, then the emperor would definitely not let me and Concubine Hua find out about it.
Because in this palace, only I have the best relationship with Concubine Hua and Sister Qing'er.
Anyway, leave this matter to the two of us, at least we can do it ourselves, and we don't have to go through the pretense of human hands. In this way, I can also give justice to my sister as soon as possible.
"Nian Concubine's body, is it okay?" I listened to the emperor speak again, and my heart also tugged.
Now that the child is gone, I hope God can open his eyes, don't let Qing'er's sister's body be ruined again! Otherwise, how will she live in the future!
Russell was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said, "Back to the emperor, although the concubine has a bloody collapse in the concubine's miscarriage this time, fortunately, the little master has a firm will to survive." In the future, as long as the little master takes more care, he will still be able to be the emperor's heir. ”
I was relieved.
This is a blessing in the midst of misfortune.
It's good that you can still give birth, as long as you can still give birth, there will be a chance in the future.
……
After guarding in Furong Xuan for a long time, Qing'er's sister showed no signs of waking up. Although I was anxious, in front of the emperor, it was not easy to attack.
Fortunately, Russell has always given me comforting eyes, indicating that Qing'er's sister is not worried about her life. Otherwise, I will definitely collapse when I look at my bloodless sister Qing'er who can't wake up for a long time.
The emperor was guarding Qing'er's sister's side, his eyes were red.
The chill around him was no longer pressing, but full of weakness and helplessness.
For the first time, I saw him like this, not like an emperor, but like a child who has the power of life and death in the world, but cannot control his own destiny.
He held Qing'er's sister's hand tightly, and Douda's tears kept falling. The muttering in his mouth was all words like he couldn't help it.
Such a scene made me and Concubine Hua very sad to meet.
Your Majesty, it's really not the same for Qing'er's sister.
Thinking of this, Concubine Hua and I finally slowly withdrew.
First, the emperor's weakness is not allowed to be peeped at. Second, I felt that instead of wasting time here, it was better to go to the Tai Hospital to check quickly, so as to avenge Qing'er's sister's early death as soon as possible.
After all, with the emperor by her side, I am also relieved.
……
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Concubine Hua and I have been checking prescription records in the Tai Hospital since we came out of Furong Xuan.
However, despite the two of us staying up all night, we didn't make any progress.
Except for knowing that the stock of saffron in the Tai Hospital has inexplicably decreased, there is no other harvest.
"Concubine Hua" I tiredly put down the notebook in my hand and said, "Why don't we send someone in the warehouse to ask?" Where did the saffron that was missing for no reason go, we must find out! ”
"No need" Concubine Hua rubbed her temples, her face was also full of tiredness, "If we can ask, we don't have to sit until now."
That person thought that he had installed a lot of his own people in the Tai Hospital, otherwise, we wouldn't have found out that there were few things, but we couldn't find out how to find out. ”
After that, Concubine Hua said again, "It's a pity that the emperor gave us the qualification to investigate this matter." Otherwise, this palace will definitely arrest the relevant people in the Tai Hospital one by one and torture them severely! ”
I listened to Concubine Hua's words, although I felt relieved, but I couldn't do anything.
yes, we're all in the harem. Even if he got the emperor's will to investigate whether there was a problem with the Tai Hospital, he had no right to touch them at all.
After all, even if these imperial doctors are used by the harem, they also have people of the imperial court. Before we get more clues, Concubine Hua and I have nothing to do.
"Now...... What should we do? I thought about it for a moment, and finally asked.
For dealing with the trivial matters of the harem, Concubine Hua has more say than me. So, I ask her everything as a sign of respect.
"Let's go to the imperial study," Concubine Hua stood up on the table and said, "We finally found out that the number of saffron in the Tai Hospital has decreased for no reason, but there is no record, and it is not a harvest." Let's go and get back to the emperor first and see what the emperor means. ”
After that, Concubine Hua said, "With the emperor's current favor for Qing'er's sister, he will definitely not easily spare the person behind the scenes." Don't worry, the emperor will definitely give an explanation to Qing'er's sister! ”
……
The Imperial Study.
Concubine Hua and I came out of the hospital and did not return to the palace. Instead, he went straight to the imperial study and told the emperor what he had investigated last night, 1510.
Just when we were waiting for the emperor to say how to continue, we saw that his face was indifferent and said, "This matter is over, there is no need to investigate." ”
As soon as these words came out, I looked at Concubine Hua and was puzzled.
The emperor's attitude today is far from yesterday's, is it possible, Qing'er's sister's child is really the emperor's poisonous hand?
If this is the case, then no matter how much we investigate, we will not be able to find out the truth.
"If you can take medicine from the Tai Hospital without being recorded, you are either a high-ranking person in this palace or a thief."
After that, the emperor sneered again, "There are people in the hospital day and night, and it is not easy to steal things from it." ”
"What does the emperor mean ......" Concubine Hua was puzzled for a moment, and then asked, "The emperor already has someone suspicious in his heart?" ”
When I heard this, my heart was shocked.
The emperor is suspicious...... Who will it be? Is it the one I doubt?
If so, you'll save a lot of effort!
"The black chicken soup is from my Heart Nourishing Palace, so the people who have bad intentions towards Ah Qing are either me or the people around me."
The emperor stared at Concubine Hua with an unfathomable expression, and said word by word, "Gonggong Gui is a person left by the emperor, and he has been dead to me all these years. And Aunt Yanli used to be the palace maid next to my mother's concubine, and she grew up watching me grow up. ”
Hearing this, Concubine Hua opened her mouth and said silently, "Grandpa Lin!" ”
"Hmph......" The emperor snorted coldly, his eyes were full of murderous energy, "He is very bold!" ”
"Your Majesty, this Gonggong Lin and Sister Qing'er didn't know each other before, let alone have any grievances. If this matter is really done by Gonggong Lin, I am afraid that there is still a master standing behind him to guide him. ”
Concubine Hua is the best at guessing the holy will, and as soon as she heard the emperor's words, she immediately led the emperor in the direction she wanted.
Sure enough, I saw that the emperor lowered his eyes, and said to me, "A-Qing has lost her flesh and bones, and her emotions are unstable. You grew up with her since you were a child, and you go to Furong Xuan to accompany her more these days. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Although I don't know what the emperor has in mind, I don't dare to say anything when I see his gloomy face.
is Concubine Hua's mother, who has lived in the harem for many years, and is a side concubine, so she is a lot bolder...... But where are there concubines? ”
The emperor raised his eyes and said lightly, "You are now the ruler of the harem, so go to Yikun Palace with me." ”
Yikun Palace!
It seems that the emperor is going to pull out the tumor of Duan Xiuyi!
Good! Good!
Sure enough, when people live in the world, there is always karma! Now, Duan Xiuyi's retribution is finally coming!
……
Concubine Hua accompanied the emperor to Yikun Palace, and I went to Furong Xuan first.
I wanted to enlighten and enlighten my sister well, but who expected that she was asleep when she went. So, not bothering her, he quietly left again and returned to his own bedroom.
Yesterday I stayed up all night, and I was very tired. Now that there's nothing to do, let's rest.
……
Although I don't know what happened after the emperor and Concubine Hua went to Yikun Palace, I only know that when I woke up, the sky in the Forbidden City was ...... It's changed again.
"Xiangyang, how long have I been asleep? This day, why is it dark? "I got out of bed, and I felt weak.
Xiang Yang brought me mouthwash and a wet towel, and whispered, "The little master is probably too tired, so he sleeps longer." ”
After that, he said, "It's time now, don't you want to drink some meat porridge and continue to sleep for a while?" ”
"Child?" Originally...... I've slept for so long, "Xiangyang, what news is there from the head of Yikun Palace?" ”
When I asked, Xiang Yang's face was a little ugly, "Back to the little master, Furong Xuan was promoted to a noble concubine." ”
"What about the Xiuyi?" I don't care if Sister Qing'er gets promoted. Because for me, for Sister Qing'er, no amount of rewards and compensation can make up for the damage I suffered when I lost my flesh and bones.
All I care about is whether the murderer gets the punishment he deserves!
"The head of Yikun Palace...... That head ...... "Xiang Yang was a little swallowed" and restored the position of the lady concubine ......"
"What?" I frowned, incredulous, "How did she get her place back?" ”
When he was in the imperial study, the emperor's attitude was still so resolute.
Why did Duan Xiuyi become a lady again?
"Little master, the slave maid listened to what the people around Concubine Hua said." Xiang Yang saw that I was in a trance, so he said, "At first, the emperor wanted to condemn Concubine Shuniang, but later, for some reason, the Queen Mother went to Yikun Palace to restore the status of Concubine Shuniang. ”
