Chapter 39: The Seed
Jiang Tongmiao leaned against Zhou Tingchen's arms, struggling to get up.
"You are a person with a body now, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly." Zhou Tingchen stopped his movements.
"Concubine, thank you to the emperor." Jiang Tongmiao continued to lean on the situation, and this move fell into Lin Minghua's eyes, like a naked provocation, "It's just that the concubine is entrusted by someone and must participate in this blessing ceremony." ”
Jiang Tongmiao's tone was very categorical, Zhou Tingchen's eyes flashed, as if he had guessed something: "Is it what Concubine Ling meant?" ”
"Not exactly." Jiang Tongmiao lowered her head, and a few strands of broken hair were scattered on her forehead, "The concubine has lived in the General's Mansion since she was a child, and once General Jiang came back, she was covered with injuries, which scared Concubine Ling's sister into crying. ”
"That day, Sister Concubine Ling kept asking me, is it the fate of the general that he must die on the battlefield? If the general had three longs and two shorts, Sister Ling would probably go crazy. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Tongmiao raised her head to Zhou Tingchen's eyes, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes: "The concubine knows that there is something wrong today, and I hope that the eldest girl can forgive the concubine and allow the concubine to contribute to our country's soldiers here." ”
Zhou Tingchen was a little stunned.
Jiang Tongmiao, who has always had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, suddenly softened today, and this sense of contrast made Zhou Tingchen very useful: "Before the blessing ceremony begins, you should take care of the baby here." ”
What this means is acquiescence.
Lin Zhiyu silently rolled his eyes in his heart.
Oh, I kept saying that I wanted to forgive, but I didn't give myself a look.
"See the Emperor." A physician stood at the door of the chamber, seemingly hesitating whether to go in or not.
"Say."
"I'm afraid Xiu Yuan's side is not very good, although she will save her life for the time being, but how long she can last can only depend on her own creation."
Xu Jiu'er entered the palace before she could finish it, and Zhou Tingchen just casually gave her a position, and left it there.
Therefore, he doesn't have much affection for Xu Jiu'er.
"Got it."
Zhou Tingchen took Jiang Tongmiao's hand and said a few words of relief before getting up and leaving.
"Niangniang, today is too risky, no matter what, you can't joke with the prince."
After everyone left, Lan Xiang tucked the corners of the quilt for Jiang Tongmiao, ready to serve her to rest.
Jiang Tongmiao's hand unconsciously stroked his stomach: "This child is the help of this palace, and it is also the only reliance of this palace, so naturally he will not let him have an accident." ”
From today on, Lin Minghua will become her reference, a person like Zhou Tingchen, what beautiful woman has never seen, but he just likes that type of person.
So, as long as he turns himself into the second Lin Minghua, does Zhou Tingchen still retain interest in the original Lin Minghua?
"The sisters of the Lin family are really not as harmonious as they seem, the slave maid can see clearly just now, the queen mother is in the crowd, and she took advantage of the chaos to push the eldest girl." Lan Xiang lowered her eyes.
"Heh, Lin Minghua is really worthy of the stage I set up for her, but it's a pity that she is too stupid to be the object of practice."
Lan Xiang looked at Jiang Tongmiao in a daze, only feeling that her master seemed to be different from others.
When she unexpectedly learned that she was pregnant in the morning, she asked her to boil the recipe to protect the fetus and drink it immediately, as if she had expected this one in the morning.
"What have you been watching Hongu do? Let's go out and keep watch, Hongu wants to be quiet. ”
"Ah, okay." Lan Xiang pulled back her thoughts and closed the door.
……
On the other side, Lin Zhiyu held Xu Jiu'er's hand and slowly pasted it to his face.
"Has the emperor been here?"
Xu Jiu'er shook her head weakly and nodded again.
The labor pain in her left leg made her barely awake, but by this time she was already too weak to do anything.
"Sister, don't worry about me, I'm fine, the doctor also said, I'm fine."
Xu Jiu'er seemed to be comforting Lin Zhiyu, and forced a smile.
The fever just now barely subsided, Xu Jiu'er is now struggling to speak, jumping out word by word, and stopping to catch his breath when he says two or three words, as if he has just run more than 800 meters violently.
Lin Zhiyu couldn't help but turn his head to look at the injury on Xu Jiu'er's left leg, although the wound had been treated and bandaged by the imperial doctor, the originally white calf was still faintly black and purple.
"It's so ugly, sister, don't look at it."
Lin Zhiyu remembered that Xu Jiu'er was most afraid of pain.
How much do you feel like it hurts?
When I was playing with Lin Xiaolian, I bumped into it, so I came to her Weiyang Palace, crying and crying about pain, pestering Lin Zhiyu to ask for candied fruit, and making trouble while being coquettish.
She suddenly felt a sense of fear in her heart.
She didn't know what she was afraid of.
"Liu'er, did the emperor explain anything to you?" The tip of Lin Zhiyu's nose was sour, and he didn't want Xu Jiu'er to see it, so he simply turned his head and asked the question just now again sullenly.
Liu Er was boiling medicine on the side, and this time when she came out, Xu Jiu'er was the only one waiting by her side, and she was really lacking in skills.
"The emperor didn't come, but Gonggong Zhang came, saying that Niangniang's current situation is not suitable for long-distance bumps, so let Niangniang stay in Cheng'en Temple, and don't return to the palace for the time being."
Lin Zhi's words are clear.
Zhou Tingchen has always been very cold-blooded for people who have no emotional involvement.
This is to Xu Jiu'er die in Cheng'en Temple.
As long as she died in Cheng'en Temple, the mountain was high and the road was far away, and when the news reached the Yongzhou prefect, Xu Jiu'er's parents couldn't say anything.
As for how and when he died, it is estimated that he has scribbled it over.
If it is really investigated, it will naturally be borne by the people of Cheng'en Temple.
"Sister, when are you leaving?" Xu Jiu'er looked sleepy, the whole person was groggy, and asked in a daze, "I don't want to go back to the palace either, sister, it's good here." ”
"Well, that's good." The tip of Lin Zhiyu's nose was sour again, forcing himself not to shed tears, "I won't leave, I'm here to accompany you." ”
Choose another day, I'm afraid there will be a while, during this time, state affairs must not be left behind, Zhou Tingchen will take Lin Minghua back to the palace early tomorrow morning, as for the others, whether to leave or stay, it is all up to him.
As for Jiang Tongmiao, the imperial doctor said that she had fetal gas and needed to recuperate, so she naturally stayed in Cheng'en Temple.
Zhou Tingchen was willing to protect her because of the child in her belly, and the court dress also made several innocent palace people in the Shangyi Bureau go over.
But Lin Zhiyu was unwilling to let her go like this.
"Miss, Concubine Jia sent someone to invite you."
As soon as Lin Zhiyu helped Xu Jiu'er to lie down again, Lin Xiaolian arrived outside the door with a dark expression.
"What do you say?"
"The slave didn't know, so Bao'er said a word, saying that whether Xu Xiuyuan's life can be saved depends on the eldest girl."
What does it mean to look at yourself?
You can't say that you can still control the life and death of others, right?
Lin Zhiyu was a little confused, but after thinking about it, this Zhuang Younan didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed, and he might be able to become his ally.
Just as Lin Zhiyu was about to get up and leave, Xu Jiu'er grabbed the corner of her clothes.
"Sister, I'm very happy that you can come to see me this time."
Lin Zhiyu only thought that Xu Jiu'er had a high fever and was confused, and gently comforted a few words, and then walked towards Zhuang Younan's wing.
