Chapter 4 Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots
As soon as Chu Ying woke up, the imperial doctor who was waiting next to her immediately took her pulse, asked a few words, and made sure that there was no general idea, so the palace people took her to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Chu Ying entered, feeling that it was almost to her knees on the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
Shen Xiao saw that she was kneeling too far away, and her voice was like a mosquito, which really tested his ears, so he left his seat and walked in front of her: "You say, you are the eldest princess's person?" ”
His voice was like a breeze blowing through the bright moon, gentle and elegant.
Chu Ying thought that he was the son of Da Xia, a person who could kill and rob more than Concubine Meng Hui, and was so frightened that his face almost touched the ground.
She didn't dare to lie in front of the emperor, but if she wanted to live, she had to live, Xin Wei helped her out of Yong'an Palace and let her see the emperor, then she listened to Xin Wei and didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Yes, the concubine is indeed the eldest princess!"
Shen Xiao said: "But Concubine Hui didn't say that, Concubine Hui said that you are the queen's person." ”
"Concubine Hui doesn't know the inside story, as soon as the emperor asks the eldest princess, she knows," Chu Ying said boldly, "The concubine once had a friendship with the eldest princess by the Canghe River. ”
Xin Wei said that she once met the eldest princess by the Canghe River, and was appreciated by the eldest princess and drank a bowl of wine, and the eldest princess promised her that when her life was in danger in the future, she could report the name of the eldest princess and save her life.
Chu Ying didn't really believe that Xin Wei would have such an opportunity, but it was both horizontal and vertical, it was better to Bo Yibo, in case Xin Wei didn't lie, in case the eldest princess was willing to give this favor......
Shen Xiao didn't say much more, and asked Gong Xi: "Which palace does the woman who was sealed by me a few days ago live?" ”
"Back to the emperor, you named Liu Zhaoyi as a noble concubine and gave Weiyang Palace."
Shen Xiao remembered it and gestured, "Arrange her in Weiyang Palace as well." ”
Chu Ying paused when she got up, stopped talking, and finally didn't say anything at the urging of her father-in-law, and retreated silently.
The emperor didn't ask why she was on the roof, nor did he ask why she asked for help, but arranged another place for her to get out of Yong'an Palace.
Walking outside the hall, Chu Ying asked Father-in-law Xi: "Father-in-law, do I look like someone?" ”
Father-in-law Xi didn't answer clearly, but said: "Why did the little master enter the palace, you should know it, right?" ”
Chu Ying could guess a few points, but she didn't understand, if she looked like a very important person, but the emperor had no interest in looking at her face.
The emperor's attitude from beginning to end made her feel that her appearance was nothing special.
Chu Ying asked again: "Father-in-law, who is the person who looks like me?" ”
Father-in-law Xi was stunned for a moment, looked at the front and back, and shouted: "Little master, this is not interesting." This matter is still rotten in your heart, and you must not mention it again in the future. ”
Chu Ying covered her mouth and nodded.
-
Xin Wei was pressed on the shoulders by the two maidservants, making her kneel on the ground, she was clearly weak and weak, but they used ruthlessness, as if they were afraid that as soon as they let go, they would run away.
Concubine Meng Hui held a dagger and gestured at her white cheeks, the blade gradually approaching, until the cold blade pressed against her skin.
"Draw a turtle king, okay?"
Xin Wei hurriedly begged for mercy: "Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon seed and her body is precious, but she can't be filthy for the slave's cheap body, that is the slave's sin that deserves death!" ”
When a pregnant person sees blood, it is ominous.
Thinking of this, Concubine Meng Hui threw the dagger and said, "You're right, you're just a slave and a lowly body." Tell me about this palace, how did Chu Ying climb to the roof? ”
Chu Jieyu forced the slave to be a human flesh mat, and stepped on the slave and maid's shoulders on the beam, but Niangniang, the slave and maid committed suicide by hanging the beam, I don't know if she dared to lift the tile roof of the firewood house! If the slave could have expected her to do such a thing, she would have to stop her from life or death! The slave and maid were miserable by her! ”
Xin Wei blurted out and complained a string, filled with righteous indignation, eager to bite her teeth.
Concubine Meng Hui didn't fully believe this hateful look, "You don't want to see the emperor?" ”
Xin Wei lowered her eyes, cowardly.
"How dare the slave and maid see the emperor?"
Concubine Meng Hui looked at her for a long time and said, "There are many people who want to sell off their beauty to the emperor, doesn't Chu Ying try her best to see the emperor?" As for you, you don't look mediocre, so you haven't had a crooked mind? ”
Xin Wei laughed at herself: "There is no shortage of beauties in the palace, what is the illiterate and vulgar body of the slave maid?" Who can compare to Niangniang, how dare the slave dare to move this kind of self-seeking thought in front of the mother? The slave just wants to live in peace. ”
Concubine Meng Hui heard a lot of flattery, but she still used it.
Concubine Meng Hui laughed and sat down leisurely.
"You are self-aware, unlike that Chu Ying, who wants to go to heaven when she gets the position of Jieyu, and she is also worthy?"
"That's what the mother said." Xin Wei flattered.
Concubine Meng Hui sat down on the wide mahogany circle chair, and the two maidservants who pressed Xin Wei let go of their hands and stepped aside.
"Whether it's intentional or not, you've done something to help the evil, and you can't spare you in vain."
Concubine Meng Hui closed her eyes lightly and said lightly: "Reward you with twenty boards, Aunt Qin, take her to get it." ”
-
Xin Wei went back to the firewood room, lay on the bed, and was embarrassed for a while for her embarrassing situation.
She stayed in Yong'an Palace as Chu Jieyu's maidservant, but now that Chu Ying is gone, what about her? Is it to find a way to escape by yourself tomorrow morning and go to Chu Ying?
Or do you continue to live in this firewood house as if nothing happened?
These twenty boards, Aunt Qin seems to be merciful, so that although she suffers pain, she can still move freely.
As soon as the morning dawned, the queen's people came to Yong'an Palace and summoned Xin Wei alone.
It can't be that she came to catch her.
The Fengyi Palace, which was once the mother of the country, is much more solemn and magnificent than Yong'an Palace, but it is not as luxurious as Yong'an Palace.
Xin Wei endured the pain in her buttocks, knelt down on the white jade brick, the queen sat behind the bead curtain, and a warm voice came: "Xin Wei, do you see Concubine Hui's fetal image stable?" ”
"Mother, the slave doesn't know."
Yong'an Palace was crowded up and down, how could she know what Concubine Hui's fetus was?
Mama Zhou stood in front of Xin Wei, wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "I've been in Yong'an Palace for so long, I don't know this?" ”
If the queen wants to know what the fetus is, she will ask the imperial doctor, and there will be the queen's eyes in the Yong'an Palace. When I asked her at this time, I am afraid that what the queen wants to hear is not the truth, but to ask her to solve the queen's worries.
Thinking of this, Xin Weifu lowered her body and changed her words: "Niangniang, the slave maid remembered that Concubine Hui's fetus was unstable. ”
"It is not easy for the emperor's heir," the queen said regretfully, "In your opinion, how long can this baby last?" ”
Xin Wei understood the meaning.
This is to let her say a deadline herself, and within a few days, she will have to let Concubine Hui's birth fall.
Xin Wei thought for a while, and then said: "The slave maid heard from the imperial doctor that the older the gestational age, the greater the damage to the mother's body, and even the fear of life. ”
"Since it can't be saved, the sooner this baby falls, the better?" The queen asked.
"The slave maid thinks that Concubine Hui should do her best to protect this fetus, the bigger the fetus, the better," Xin Wei paused and said, "The spring breeze blows and gives birth again, the queen mother, how can you cut the grass without eradicating the roots?" ”
She can't run and hit Concubine Hui's stomach, she has something to do, her life has to be saved, she needs time.
The queen behind the bead curtain was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You do your best to serve in Yong'an Palace, and you will be rewarded for your merits." ”
