Chapter 28: The Empress Becomes Depressed
This torture lasted until the fourth watch.
Meng Tang had a hard mouth at first, but then cried and shouted: "It's a concubine, it's a concubine." ”
But even if she admitted it, the man refused to let her go, and the bed shook even more.
Meng Tang's voice was hoarse, and he couldn't even move a finger while lying on the bed.
It is said that there are no ploughed fields, only tired oxen.
But even after such a hearty affair, the man still looks energetic, and Meng Tang is like the ploughed field.
Chu Yi held her in his arms, flesh against flesh, hot sweat wet the hair on his cheeks, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, but his eyes were very bright.
"Zitong, be good, take a bath and go to sleep." The man coaxed.
Meng Tang didn't respond, and he couldn't even open his eyes when he was tired.
There was a joke in his hoarse voice: "What, do you want me to carry you?" Waiting for you to bathe? ”
Meng Tang was already asleep, so he wouldn't answer him.
The man asked himself and replied, "I really can't help you, just this once." ”
Chu Yi picked her up and stepped into the bathtub barefoot.
The bath bucket was too small, the two faced each other, and Meng Tang sat on his lap, his head meekly resting on the man's shoulder.
Chu Yi's neck and chest were red from the hot water, and he turned his head sideways, looking at Meng Tang's pale and fragile face, and felt it again.
"Zitong, one more time, one last time, okay?"
"If you don't speak, you'll answer."
It was almost dawn, Meng Tang was woken up by him again in the bathtub, and she exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I can't do it anymore." ”
Chu Yi swallowed her unfinished words between her lips and teeth, and took it by force.
The water shook, and hot water overflowed the tub and poured all over the floor.
*
I heard that the queen was even sicker, and she changed from an occasional cold to a terminal illness.
Early in the morning, more than a dozen imperial doctors rushed to Kunning Palace.
It is said that the queen is not suffering from a cold, but after His Majesty is about to be abolished, the queen was grounded in the palace for three months, which caused depression and illness.
The palace was full of joy, and Xiao Hongyun couldn't wait to set off firecrackers when she heard the news.
Xiao Hongyun took a shallow sip of tea, and said with a smile: "I heard that more than a dozen imperial doctors went to Kunning Palace this morning, and the queen's mother is not lightly ill, don't die of illness." ”
Caiwei immediately covered her mouth and said, "Niangniang, you can't talk nonsense!" The cursed queen died and was heard by others, and she was going to get into trouble again! ”
"And didn't the mother reconcile with the queen some time ago? You've helped her, and she's helped you. ”
Xiao Hongyun sneered lightly, she had always held a grudge against Meng Tang because of the previous Yunjin incident, she said: "This time is not that time. ”
Xiao Hongyun got up, put her hand on the back of Caiwei's hand, and said, "Let's go, go with the palace to Kunning Palace to see the excitement." ”
Xiao Hongyun has been very uncomfortable these days, since the last time the emperor came to her once, and left in anger, she has never been here again, and she has not even watched the palm dance.
It's okay, she is not doing well, and the queen is even worse, thinking about it like this, Xiao Hongyun's heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
On the way, Xiao Hongyun met Concubine Mei and Concubine Xiang and others, Concubine Xiang lived in a simple place, and rarely went out of her Liuyun Palace.
Concubine Xiang asked softly, "My sisters are going to Kunning Palace?" ”
Concubine Xiang is the only one with a title among several concubines, so she is naturally more noble than the others.
Concubine Xiao's attitude was indifferent, and she ignored it: "Sisters also go to Kunning Palace?" ”
Concubine Mei covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The concubine heard that the queen mother was unwell, so she rushed to visit." ”
The three of them tacitly knew that they were going to visit the sick, and they were clearly going to see the queen's jokes!
The queen mother used to monopolize Her Majesty, and Her Majesty went to her for 25 days out of the 30th of the month, which would make the Queen Mother seriously ill, but she had to take a good look and see how embarrassed she was when she was down.
After encountering, the three of them went to Kunning Palace together.
Although His Majesty forbade the feet of the queen's mother, he did not allow the concubines of other palaces to visit, and the guards let several mothers in.
Fang Ning was sweeping in the front yard when she saw someone coming and hurriedly saluted.
"The slave maid has seen Concubine Xiang, Concubine Mei, and Concubine Xiao."
Concubine Mei said with a smile: "I heard that the queen mother is very sick today, we came to take a look, and lo and behold, I also boiled a good pigeon soup, which I made with my own hands this morning." ”
Concubine Xiang also coughed twice and said, "Niangniang even felt the wind and cold, so I specially embroidered a rich fox fur for Niangniang." ”
Among the three, only Concubine Xiao was empty-handed.
Concubine Mei and Concubine Xiang looked at Concubine Xiao together.
Concubine Xiao was inexplicably embarrassed, thinking that she was here to see the joke today, so she was in a hurry, so she didn't bring anything.
Concubine Xiao said: "The concubine is worried about the phoenix body of the mother, so she is in a hurry, and when she turns around, I will ask Caiwei to send some chicken soup over, and Wenyang is very good for wind and cold." ”
Fang Ning said: "Thank you for your kindness, now the queen is sick in bed, I am afraid that she will not be able to see guests, so as not to pass the cold to several mothers." ”
"What's this? Niangniang's illness is naturally the top priority, how can the concubine relax if she doesn't take a look? ”
After speaking, Concubine Mei led people inside, but Caiwei couldn't stop her.
Xiao Hongyun and Concubine Xiang glanced at each other and followed behind.
*
Meng Tang saw that he was really sick, his little face was extremely pale, his lips were bloodless, and even his eyes were full of anticipation.
Meng Tang's whole body was so sore that it was uncomfortable to move.
The three of them walked in and saw Meng Tang's haggard look, they really believed that she was seriously ill, not only seriously ill, but I am afraid that during the three months of confinement, she was also depressed.
"The concubine sees the queen's mother."
"I heard that the queen mother is sick, and the concubine came to visit."
Meng Tang leaned on the cushion tiredly, Chu Yi was too beastly last night, if she would die, she must have died in Chu Yi's bed.
She was covered in bones, and it hurt to move.
She spoke weakly, "Get up." ”
Concubine Mei and Concubine Xiang glanced at each other, it seems that the rumors are true, the queen mother lost her sacred heart because of the grounding, and the emperor intends to abolish it, I am afraid that the queen will become depressed because of these, otherwise how could the little wind and cold grind her like this?
Meng Tang and Concubine Mei and Concubine Xiang said a few words without being salty, and the two of them left, leaving only Concubine Xiao.
When Concubine Xiao came, she came to see Meng Tang's jokes, but now when she saw Meng Tang's miserable appearance, she suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
Concubine Xiao stood in front of the bed and asked her, "Queen Mother, are you dying?" ”
Meng Tang was stunned, Concubine Xiao always spoke like this, not afraid of her identity as a queen, and went straight to the point.
Meng Tang sighed, pretending to be sad and said, "Maybe this palace is really dying." "I was about to be killed by Chu Yi.
When Concubine Xiao saw her half-dead appearance, she was immediately angry! Isn't it just being grounded? As for this, do you want to live or die? She is now disgusted by the emperor, isn't it fragrant to eat, what's the big deal, can't she do it without a man?
Concubine Xiao said: "Look at yourself like this, Your Majesty has grounded you, and you won't live?" Who is it for you to make yourself look like this? Do you think Your Majesty will feel distressed when he sees it? You are lying on the bed and dying, has Your Majesty ever come to see you? ”
Meng Tang was silent, and Xiao Hongyun ...... Seems to have misunderstood something?
She's like this because she's a bedchamber.
Xiao Hongyun continued: "Do you know that the outside world is now rumoring that Your Majesty is going to be abolished, if you die, wouldn't it be as they intended? Concubine Xiang and Concubine Mei who came with me today, I think they can't wait for you to die! ”
Xiao Hongyun looked at her like a weak look, and immediately hated that iron could not become steel, and if she fell out of favor, she would find a way to compete for favor, didn't she have a lot of ideas on weekdays? Why is it your turn, but you can't use it?
