Chapter 126. Mantis

"Don't dare, don't dare, thanks to Niangniang's mention today, otherwise Weichen's head will not be saved." Lu Shouchang recalled the angry face of the emperor just now, and he still felt frightened at this moment, and he didn't dare to think about what the emperor would do with him if he really delayed Zhen Guiren's treatment.

An Lingrong smiled, didn't say much, and pulled the sixth elder brother back home.

On the way back, An Lingrong stopped Shen Meizhuang, who was still going to Broken Yuxuan: "Imperial Doctor Wen has already entered, Sister Mei, you can't enter Broken Yuxuan now, it's better to go to my place to sit down, and wait for Imperial Doctor Wen to come out, and then announce that he will come over and talk about it." ”

"It's fine." Shen Meizhuang was not as fast as Lu Shouchang and Imperial Physician Wen, and he didn't catch up in a hurry, so he went to Weiyang Palace as he said.

It wasn't until the sky cleared that Imperial Physician Wen came out of the Broken Jade Xuan and went to Weiyang Palace with Lu Shouchang to restore his life.

An Kang was handed over to Fen Ruo to take care of, and Imperial Physician Wen went to the main hall to reply.

"What? Huan'er has been pregnant for nearly two months? Shen Meizhuang was surprised, happy and worried, "Then how is she now?" ”

"Zhen Guiren has lost both qi and blood, coupled with excessive worry, so that the dragon fetus is very weak, and it is necessary to raise the fetus carefully, and the emperor has decreed that Wei Chen will take care of Zhen Guiren." Imperial Physician Wen was also full of worry and distress, "Broken Yuxuan is cold, and there is no charcoal fire, now it is the time of the cold spring, Zhen Guiren's hands are full of chilblains, and Weichen has just given her medicine." ”

Shen Meizhuang was so distressed that he burst into tears: "I'll go to the emperor tomorrow, and it depends on Huan'er's pregnancy, so suspend her punishment." ”

"Sister, don't be in a hurry." An Lingrong raised his hand and patted Shen Meizhuang's back, comforting her, "Since the emperor is willing to let Imperial Doctor Wen go to give Sister Zhen a baby, he has not completely let go of her in his heart, and my sister can't go to the emperor to ask for suspicion, so it's better to think about how to take care of Sister Zhen until she gives birth safely." ”

"That's why I want to beg the emperor to release Huan'er." Shen Meizhuang spoke hurriedly, and suddenly reacted again, "Rong'er, do you mean that someone will harm Huan'er and her children?" ”

An Lingrong nodded: "Why didn't Sister Zhen have her first child, sister, I'm afraid you don't know the inside story yet." She glanced at Imperial Physician Wen, and said, "Concubine Dunsu's embarrassment is just an inducement on the surface, the real reason for Sister Zhen's miscarriage is actually a fan that Concubine Zhen gave her before, which was infected with purslane juice, which made Sister Zhen contraction when she was pregnant, which caused the dragon fetus to be lost, and now, who is Concubine Zhen, I don't need to tell my sister about this, right?" ”

"Queen." Shen Meizhuang's heart slowly sank, "It turned out to be the queen." She muttered for a while before she suddenly spoke, "She is guarding against Huan'er becoming the next Dunsu concubine, seeing Huan'er ascend to the concubine position and her mother's family rising step by step, how can she not be jealous." ”

Imperial Physician Wen said on the side: "Now that Zhen Guiren is pregnant, this is the only time for her to turn over, but she is disheartened, and she has lost her former fighting spirit, if it weren't for the child, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have the will to survive." ”

"The emperor is still angry, even if Sister Zhen has a child, she must be sad if she doesn't lift her grounding." An Lingrong sighed lightly, and then said, "Fortunately, Uncle Zhen's affairs are still hidden from her, otherwise I don't know what to do." ”

"yes." Shen Meizhuang nodded, frowned tightly and said, "It's all trumped-up charges, Uncle Zhen has been in prison for so long and hasn't interrogated anything, the emperor just held on to him, that's all, a few days ago, he even imprisoned the daughter of the Zhen family, this is because he has to put the charge on Uncle Zhen's head to let it go." ”

"The dungeon is damp, and it's easy to get sick if you stay for a long time, I already asked Zhou Nan to take care of it a few days ago." An Lingrong said, "The queen is thoughtful, and she really refuses to let go at all, and now we can only come to cover the water and earth." ”

Shen Meizhuang sighed lowly, and turned to look at Imperial Physician Wen: "Huan'er, I'll trouble you to take care of it." ”

"Niangniang's words are serious, this is the responsibility of Weichen." Imperial Physician Wen bowed deeply to Shen Meizhuang, "Weichen will do everything to protect the safety of Zhen Guiren's mother and son." ”

An Lingrong looked at Imperial Physician Wen, and suddenly remembered his affection for Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan in his previous life, and couldn't help but instruct: "Imperial Physician Wen must also protect himself." ”

Imperial Physician Wen bowed to An Lingrong again: "Yes." ”

After Imperial Physician Wen left, Shen Meizhuang didn't rush to leave, and sat in the side hall to talk to An Lingrong.

"Rong'er, I misunderstood you before." Shen Meizhuang talked about An Lingrong being slandered and damaging Zhen Huan's concubine costume a few years ago, "Now it seems that it should have been done by the queen, and those rumors were also spread by the queen at the behest of the queen, and you were blamed for nothing." ”

An Lingrong smiled and shook Shen Meizhuang's hand: "Sister, between you and me, there is no need to say this. ”

Shen Meizhuang smiled lightly and shook her hand back: "Hmm." After a pause, he said, "Now that all the power in the palace is concentrated in the hands of the queen, do you have connections in your hands?" I've got a few of them to use. ”

"Sister, don't worry, I've already arranged it." An Lingrong nodded, and then said, "Let's let the queen be proud for a while, my sister and I have to avoid her edge for the time being." ”

Shen Meizhuang nodded spontaneously.

On the third day after Zhen Huan was diagnosed with pregnancy, the emperor restored her title, and instructed the Internal Affairs Office to give it according to the concubine position, and read the letter she wrote, and according to her wishes, the queen ordered the queen to take care of the dragon fetus herself.

When the queen received the will, it was as disgusting as swallowing a fly, and the queen mother also carried her ear and said: "It is the queen's duty to take care of the concubines of the six palaces, and you must always keep it in mind." You are the queen of the Qing Dynasty and the queen of the Wulanala clan, your every move is not only the attention of the world, but also related to a piece of honor and disgrace. You are the niece and nephew of the mourning family, and the mourning family hopes that you can keep the glory of the queen and the glory of the Wulanala clan. ”

The queen could only swallow this breath, she stood under the mantis gate under the scorching sun, and the words of the queen mother still echoed in her ears.

"The heir of the harem is the most important."

"In any case, you can't lose the imperial heir."

"How many sons does the first emperor have, and the emperor doesn't even have a fraction of the first emperor."

"The scarcity of heirs is also a loss of morality in the middle palace."

Heir, heir!

Her eldest brother died so miserably, why could these people be born one after another!

The queen gritted her back molars fiercely, her eyes were full of the viciousness of the yin owl, and in the depths, there was a touch of pain that had been silent for many years.

Her Honghui, so small and so well-behaved, lay in her arms and didn't breathe.

In the pouring rain, she knelt in the rain and begged the gods and Buddhas to ask for her life, not her son's lifeβ€”but the only thing that answered her was the thunder and the torrential rain between heaven and earth, and no one could save her child.

And the day after Honghui left, her sister, her flawless sister, broke the news that she was pregnant!

It was Chunyuan's child who killed her Honghui!

The queen's eyes slowly rose scarlet, and every time she thought of it, she felt like a knife.

"The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." Fang Chunyi got the news and rushed over, and got up after saluting, "Niangniang, now that the sun is too hot and the wind is strong, let's go back to the palace first." ”

"Concubine, do you know what it means?" The queen turned to look at her, and there was still a heartache in her eyes, "The Book of Poetry has a saying, Mantis Siyu, a descendant of Yier, named Mantis, is intended to look forward to the royal family having many sons and grandchildren, and the emperor will last forever." The eldest brother of the palace can already talk and laugh, but a wind illness made him die in the arms of the palace. Now Bengong is watching the belly of the first one in the palace get bigger, and one by one the children are on the ground, your name is Bengong, how can you be embarrassed? ”

Fang Chunyi's heart trembled, and he slowly spoke: "Niangniang, you are the mother of the world, the queen mother of all the children in the harem, you are the person who has the most power to decide their life and death, and the children you don't like should live in this world." ”

"Compared to the noble Qi, this palace still likes you more." The queen stretched her eyebrows slightly, and raised her hand to fall on Fang Chunyi's face.

Fang Chunyi forcibly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

In a blink of an eye, it is a good time for spring, and the palace is full of flowers, and the competition is that one person is more delicate than flowers.

"The girls of the Tong family are well-educated, courteous, and their words and deeds are also excellent." The queen looked at Tong Jia Zhiyan standing in the pile of flowers, and saw that she was generous and decent and did not lose the girl's cowardice, and said with a gentle smile, "A while ago, the girl of the Hu family also came to see the palace, although she is also good-looking, but her temperament is a little more flamboyant, in the end, it is not comparable to our full blood, the girls of the Han Army Banner are mixed with the blood of the Han people, how can they not be regarded as one heart and one mind." ”

Hesheri smiled and responded to the queen: "Niangniang is right, Zhiyan has been taught by the palace since she was a child, and her words and deeds will naturally not be wrong, if she can enter the palace to serve by Niangniang's side in the future, it is also her creation." ”

Before the selection of the show girl with a prominent family background, the family will go into the palace to do a little bit, the previous Fucha nobles and Borzigit nobles are like this, if they get the approval of the queen mother and the emperor, the palace selection is just a formality, unless a big mistake is made during this period, otherwise entering the palace is a sure thing, and there is no need to worry about not being able to choose like other show girls.

Tong Jia Zhiyan had a sweet and beautiful smile on the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "Niangniang is beautiful and wise, dignified and elegant, and she is a model for women like us. ”

The queen seemed to be very satisfied with her, nodded with a smile, and turned to look left and right: "Why hasn't Guiren Qi come yet?" Turned to Tong Jiazhiyan and said, "Noble Qi just entered the palace last year, and she is also a girl with a full military flag, and the two of you will definitely be able to talk together." ”

"Sister Wen Yuan is as beautiful as a flower, and Zhiyan has also smelled one or two, but she has never seen it, and it would be best if she could see it today." Tong Jia Zhiyan showed an expectant expression, and her smile was impeccable.

On the other side of the imperial garden, Fang Ruo was helping Zhen Huan to walk slowly: "Niangniang forgives her sins, the slave maid did not mean to disturb the maid, but the emperor decreed that the slave and maid should go in and out with each other and take care of the mother's well." ”

Zhen Huan looked indifferent: "Take care of, monitor, in my opinion, the emperor's will is the same." ”

Fang Ruo had no way to refute, so she could only interrupt with a smile: "If Niangniang feels tired, sit down and rest, it is inevitable that she will feel tired when the month is old." She helped Zhen Huan into Qinfang Pavilion, brushed the dust on the stool with a handkerchief, and then let Zhen Huan sit down.

The breeze slowly passed through the pavilion, and Zhen Huan looked at the flowers in the distance, tired.

"I knew that there was today's disaster, and the slave and maid would rather not teach Xi Niangniang with heart, so as not to suffer this sin after entering the palace." Fang Ruo sighed and spoke.

Zhen Huan sneered slightly: "Neither this palace nor my aunt are saints, how can they know about the coming day." ”

"The emperor actually cares about Niangniang very much." Fang Ruo is the person who serves in front of the emperor, and he also knows that the emperor is not as ruthless as he appears on his face.

Liu Zhu also said on the side: "Yes, the emperor came to see the little master a few days ago, but the little master rarely slept deeply, and the emperor didn't wake up the little master." ”

"Really?" Zhen Huan didn't think so, she lowered her head and touched her belly, her eyes were bitter, "Does he care about me, or does he care about the child in my belly?" ”

Fang Ruo was about to say more, when she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, laughter and conversation sounded at the same time, and when she looked up, she saw Qi Guiren and Xin Guiren walking hand in hand.

Seeing Zhen Huan sitting in the pavilion, Xin Guiren paused and made a peaceful salute from afar, but was stopped by Qi Guiren and deliberately said loudly: "She is just a concubine who has fallen out of favor, and she is in the position of a noble person with you and me, why bother to do such a salute with her." She snorted, "Let's go, the queen is still waiting for us." ”

Xin Guiren stood in place a little helplessly, and after Qi Guiren took a few steps forward, she finished the salute just now, and then hurriedly followed.

"Xingui is a sincere person." Fen Ruo sighed, "Today, I heard that the show girl to be selected by the Tong family this year came to the palace to meet the queen, and the queen specially set up a flower viewing banquet in the imperial garden. ”

"The women in the palace are like flowers in the imperial garden, and they will naturally bloom again after thanks." Zhen Huan turned a deaf ear, "A group of women are old, and a group of new ones come in, like endless spring flowers." ”

After resting for a while, Zhen Huan got up and walked back, just walked around the corner, and couldn't help but think of the past again, she raised her feet and walked over.

The swing frame is still standing here, and the apricot blossoms are still blooming luxuriantly, but the mood is not at all what it was back then. Zhen Huan slowly sat down on the swing, her memories came flooding back, she murmured stupidly, and said what she said when she first met the emperor: "Apricot blossoms, although the flowers are beautiful, but the fruits are extremely sour, and the almonds are even more bitter. ”

Just like her and the emperor, from the initial beauty to the current downfall, it is meaningless to pay for it sincerely.

Tomorrow is another great weekend~
