The farmer has a mall

Chapter 338 The Pure Concubine

The first news is about Prince Jing.

The news that he was released after three days of captivity spread like wildfire.

Coupled with the fact that the imperial physicians in the post house are constantly coming and going every day, it seems that he has suffered a serious injury.

Now the people in the capital were blown away, and they all speculated who had the ability to hurt King Jing who was merciless in the face of the murderous Xihu people.

The second piece of news is also related to Prince Jing.

The grain and grass escorted by [-] soldiers of the Northwest Army to King Jing's fief were robbed.

Moreover, the opponent's ambush was hundreds of miles away from the capital, and there was no time to ask for help. The 5000-strong team resisted with all their strength and did not hurt the opponent at all, but lost many people.

Putting these two pieces of news together, anyone with a brain knows who Prince Jing has offended and has been retaliated against.

Prince Jing was speechless, even though he knew that Gu Nanyan did it, he couldn't publicize that he was cheated one after another.

In addition, the chilblain on his body was difficult to heal, and he was itchy every day but he didn't dare to scratch, so he closed the door to thank the guests in a fit of anger.

Even the people sent by Empress Dowager Shen to question him failed to see him.

In Jinghe Palace, Empress Dowager Shen smashed the teacup in her hand.

"Trash, you can't do this little thing well, what use is Aijia wanting you!"

The fragments of the teacup burst into the face of the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, drawing a bloodstain.

The little eunuch didn't seem to feel it, and still bowed his head, kneeling on the ground to plead guilty.

"It's useless to be a slave, please calm down the empress dowager, don't let your anger break your body."

Seeing this, Concubine Rou, who was quietly sitting aside, hurried forward to stroke the chest for Empress Dowager Shen.

"You felt dizzy when you got up this morning, you can't be angry now, you are so precious, why should you get angry because of such lowly people." Concubine Rou flattered her.

After all, she looked at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, her eyes seemed to be looking at an insignificant bug.

"If you think this person is useless, just kill him."

Empress Dowager Shen breathed a sigh of relief and waved her away.

"Did you tell the people in the posthouse that the Ai family sent you there?"

The little eunuch lowered his head even lower: "As I said, the door of Prince Jing's room is closed and no one is allowed to enter. The imperial doctor only changes the medicine once a day."

"I heard that the Empress Dowager had something to ask, so she just ordered someone to pass on the message that she is not feeling well these few days and it is not convenient to see guests. She will enter the palace to apologize to you when she recovers from her injuries."

"As for that matter..."

He raised his head to look at Concubine Rou, who appeared soft and weak, and said cryptically: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing asked the slaves to tell you that he did this because he underestimated the enemy. There is no need for the Empress Dowager to worry. She will definitely attend the birthday banquet as scheduled. "

Empress Dowager Shen's livid face softened, and she said in silence for a while: "You send the 500-year-old ginseng in the warehouse of the Ai family to the post house, and tell Prince Jing to take care of it, and leave other matters to the Ai family."

She paused, and then added: "When it happens, I, the queen mother, will avenge his hatred, and Gu Nanyan will let him handle it."

When Queen Mother Shen mentioned Gu Nanyan's name, Concubine Rou, who had been silent all this time, flashed her eyes.

"Empress Dowager, is it possible that Prince Jing's injury this time has something to do with Gu Nanyan?"

She had a curious look on her face and a look of no intention, but her tone was full of exploration.

Empress Dowager Shen squinted her eyes at her, didn't say anything, but it shocked Concubine Rou's heart, and she regretted it secretly.

"Do you know Gu Nanyan?" Empress Dowager Shen raised the teacup and asked seemingly unintentionally.

Concubine Rou's heart beat wildly, suppressed her flustered heartbeat, and let out a dry laugh.

"The concubine does not know her, but she has heard a lot of rumors about her recently, and she is just a little curious."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the teapot herself and refilled her cup of tea before the maid who came forward to serve her.

Not to mention the Empress Dowager Shen, even the little eunuch kneeling below could see that guilty look.

However, Empress Dowager Shen didn't show any doubts, and said with an unchanged expression: "If you want to survive in the palace, you must know what you shouldn't ask and don't ask. This time I will pretend that I didn't hear it. If there is another time... ..."

Before she finished speaking, Concubine Rou's face turned pale, and the clothes on her back were soaked with sweat.

"It's the concubine's fault, there will never be a next time." She hurriedly waved her hands in a panic.

Having seen with her own eyes how she treats those servants who vainly tried to inquire about Jinghe Palace, Concubine Rou's soul will be frightened away.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Shen did not speak, cold sweat oozes from Concubine Rou's forehead.

"Really, my concubine swears that there will be no next time. Please trust me, Empress Dowager." She hastily promised.

Although she is still useful to the queen mother now, after getting along these days, the unpredictable temperament of the old lady in front of her really makes her afraid.

I'm afraid that when she becomes unhappy, someone will deal with her.

Concubine Rou regretted more than once that she should not hastily entered the palace for Conglong Zhigong.

If she had stayed by that person's side all the time, and she was clothed and fed every day, even though she was not a regular wife, it would still be a thousand times better than the frightening days now!
Empress Dowager Shen glanced at her, seeing her panicked look, she let out a soft "hmm".

"It's good that you know."

After finishing speaking, she stopped dwelling on this topic and waved the little eunuch down.

"Xiao Minzi, you are smarter than your master. You should know what to say and what not to say. From now on, Aijia still has a lot of things for you to do. You should know the seriousness."

The moment the little eunuch was about to step out of the palace gate, Empress Dowager Shen said inexplicably.

Xiao Minzi hurriedly turned around again, bending over to answer.

Ever since she lost contact with Cai Rang, Queen Mother Shen knew that he must have encountered an accident, so she followed Cai Rang all day long, and his apprentice was promoted to her.

Although it is not as easy to use as Cai Rang, but at least he trained it himself, so it is easier to use than others.

After Xiao Minzi retreated, Empress Dowager Shen spoke to Concubine Rou again.

"Aijia heard that the emperor showed signs of waking up yesterday, have you gone to see it?" She asked while twisting the beads in her hand.

"The concubine went to see it, but it's just that the imperial doctor made a mistake?" Concubine Rou panicked, knowing that the empress dowager was asking herself.

She was in charge of administering the medicine to the emperor, but the poison was also given to her by someone else, and she didn't know that the effect of the medicine would gradually disappear.

Yesterday, she heard from the person she placed next to the emperor that when the emperor reacted to the outside world, she was also taken aback, and hurried to feed him another medicine.

But I don't want to be known by the queen mother.

"That's good, now is the critical time, you have to watch out for the emperor, don't make any mistakes."

It will be her birthday soon, and the plan for many years is just this one action, and it must not be sloppy.

"Beware of the Empress and Concubine Cui, if they bring someone into the palace to treat the Emperor, you must be careful."

She was talking about Gu Nanyan, of course, the so-called patent medicine in Gu's pharmacy, she asked her staff to buy some, and after showing it to the imperial doctor, the capital of the hospital was amazed.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Shen was still very afraid of Gu Nanyan's medical skills.

Concubine Rou dares to say no, she should say yes again and again.

Seeing that she was still obedient, Queen Mother Shen's face softened a lot.

"You are a good person. Aijia likes it very much. I will not break my promise to set you upright. You can just do things for Aijia with peace of mind."

What she said was true.

Compared with those wealthy concubines who are not well-born but can be manipulated by her, it is obviously more in line with her wishes.

Although one daughter does not matter to two husbands, she has now entered the palace and become Li Mi's woman, but the ambitious Queen Mother Shen who wants to hold power obviously doesn't care.

As she spoke, she grabbed Concubine Rou's hand and patted it, pretending to be kind and said: "I have wronged you these days, although the queen makes things difficult for you all day long, but her time is not long."

"It's different for you. Your good days are still to come. When you sit in the position of one person above ten thousand people, no one will be older than you except the emperor. At that time, no matter what you eat or use, it will be the best. No one dares to get angry with you anymore."

It has to be said that Queen Mother Shen is really old and refined.

The ability to talk nonsense when seeing people and talking nonsense is not small. After a few words, the dissatisfaction in Concubine Rou's heart was eliminated.

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she vowed to show her loyalty.

It was as if she was not the one who regretted entering the palace just now.
