Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 171

After being diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician, the emperor stopped the wound, but the emperor vomited blood at that moment, which also let them know that this matter was difficult.Fortunately, Concubine Jia sent an aunt who knew medical skills to help, which made them feel a little relieved. If the emperor really has something, it would not be too embarrassing for them to come here.

Doctor Zheng Zheng of the Imperial Hospital is old and has returned to his hometown. Now the doctor of the Imperial Hospital is Doctor Li.Doctor Li is always fortunate that he devoted himself to concubine Shujia and was used by her.

Under Imperial Physician Li is Imperial Physician Qian, who used to be the Queen's person, and Imperial Physician Zheng wanted to recommend him as the next doctor before he became an official.However, Imperial Physician Qian has low qualifications and people understand that, so he declined Imperial Physician Zheng, but agreed to help Imperial Physician Zheng take care of his children and grandchildren.The Tai Hospital is now vaguely in a state of tripartite confrontation.

But today the emperor is in a dangerous situation, one is not good, so everyone in their imperial hospital has to be buried with the emperor, so they all respect Li Taiyi.The master behind him is Concubine Jia, and it is not a big secret among the imperial physicians.

The aunt sent by Concubine Jia, they didn't dare to shirk, they gave up their positions one after another, waiting for the aunt's diagnosis and treatment.

Xiao Hei took off the bandages on the emperor's body, carefully inspected the emperor's wounds, and ordered the imperial physician beside him to prepare things.But he walked to the side of the case and started to write the prescription. To be honest, the emperor's situation is not difficult to deal with separately. The difficulty is that the Gu this time conflicts with the Gu that he suffered in the south before.

After handing over the written prescription to Imperial Physician Li for preparation, she walked out of the inner hall to report the situation of the emperor to the master.

When she arrived at the outer hall, she was not surprised to see King Ze Muyao sitting next to Concubine Jia.

The mother and son were talking in a low voice, but Xiao Hei didn't want to disturb him, so he just stood aside and waited.It was King Ze who kept an eye on what was going on inside, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Aunt Hei's expressionless face.

This aunt's status is not low, the ninth daughter of the Bai family is also the aunt of the current Marquis Mu Yunming. Mu Yunming proposed several times to take her out of the palace, but she refused, saying that she wanted to guard the eighth princess to get married. I'm so relieved.She is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and this time in southern Xinjiang, Aunt Hei has really helped a lot.Without her help, the terrain and Gu poison in the southern border are enough for Liang to suffer.

Speaking of it, he watched secretly, this aunt was kind to Xin Yin, but he didn't know if Xin Yin had any intentions for the wood.Xin Yin had a hasty marriage in his early years, and his relationship with his wife was just as respectful as a guest, but they were harmonious in the first few years when they didn't go to war.Afterwards, he fought around all the year round and was not at home, so this feeling became even weaker.

Mrs. Mu gave birth to a son and a daughter for Xin Yin, and she went to give birth to her son a few years ago.Now that the children in the family are still young, and he doesn't have a concubine, he sent the children back to his family, where Daliang guards the dragon's veins.Mu Yao has always wanted to find someone safe for him to help take care of his children.Especially his son, who is about the same age as Xiaoliu, except for the cousin from the ninth aunt's family chosen by the concubine, Xin Yin's son is suitable.

His elder brother worried about his younger brother, but he was more conscientious than his father.Originally, I wanted to talk to my mother and concubine in a few days, make them a pair, and send Aunt Hei to southern Xinjiang to help govern there.Now it seems that their fate is still not enough.The most important thing right now is his father.

Speaking of which, his feelings for his father are very complicated, not as deep as today's Xiao Liu.He was also the favorite prince of his father when he was a child, and he even had high hopes for him.But everything came to an abrupt end after that accident, and he learned the principle of first being a king and then a father in his illness.

Over the years, his father has often helped him secretly, but for the sake of imperial power, he has also frequently suppressed him.Now that I have come to this point, I don't know who to blame.

After receiving the news of the emperor's assassination, his first reaction was not to worry about his father, but about his younger siblings.As early as after the accident, he took his young siblings to the prince's residence, and asked the princess to take good care of them.Then his eighth uncle temporarily handed over the right to transfer the secret guards to him, but he himself ordered someone to send a message to Daying, Gyeonggi.After he sent the secret guards to the various concubines to martial law the court, he rushed to the Yichun Palace.

The timing was also coincidental, seeing his mother and concubine, the mother and son naturally had the opportunity to communicate with each other.The emperor was assassinated. As the elder prince, he had to choose the right time to visit.

First, the emperor was injured and the court was in turmoil, which gave people the impression that he couldn't wait too early; second, the emperor is now in a coma, and he doesn't show up for visits at all, which seems unfilial.Compared with the second prince who persuaded his mother and concubine to return to the palace without visiting, and the fifth son who dared not come out at all until now, King Ze's actions made the imperial forest army and hidden guards in the palace have a good impression of him.that's enough.

King Ze looked at Aunt Hei for a while, and found that there was really no clue on her face, so he had to say hello first.

"Auntie is here, how is your father's injury?" Ze Wang said in a cold voice, with imperceptible tension.If the emperor is not good at this time, the arrangement on his side is not perfect, and I am afraid it will not end well.

Concubine Jia turned her head when she heard the words, and seeing Xiao Hei's big black and white eyes, the premonition in her heart felt like it was about to come true.

Xiao Hei looked around and found that besides the mother and son, there was only one Si Jin in the outer hall, so she felt relieved, stepped forward a few steps, and stood in front of Concubine Jia.

After thinking for a while, Fang slowly said, "The emperor's condition is not life-threatening. Although the abdominal wound hurts the lungs, it is not a big hidden danger if it is taken care of carefully. But..."

"Just say it straight, I can hold it." Shi Niang grabbed her son's hand tightly, feeling a little nervous and scared after all.

"He has been poisoned by a rare Gu poison, which ordinary people can't see and can't cure. The slave girl grew up in Nanming, and this Gu poison can be cured. It's just... the antidote for this Gu is overbearing. The medicine used for the emperor is very likely to be insoluble in medicine."

"Apart from having sex with your heirs, what other consequences will there be?"

"Mother and concubine!" Ze Wang really felt that this was what his father could not accept.

"Your father has enough heirs, didn't you come here before the ten princesses?"

"Your Majesty was hit by a Gu when he was in Nanluo, and the treatment was delayed at that time. In order to save his life, the slaves used medicines aggressively, so the emperor had not had many heirs in the past few years. Later, the master asked the slaves to secretly help the emperor take care of his health. Slowly, there are little princes and others."

These words are to explain to King Ze why the emperor has been childless since the 14th year, and it was not until the 20th year that the palace began to have princes and daughters again.The noble concubine master and Mrs. Huimin hid this matter from the emperor in order to keep their little servants.

"If you want to resist the nature of the medicine, the worst consequence is that His Majesty's lifespan will not exceed three to five years. Because this time, the Gu is directly injected on the wound, and it will attack together with a poison in His Majesty's body. Even if it is cured , his lungs still have hidden dangers. Long-term exertion will make the body decay faster. The imperial doctor said that sitting for a long time is not good for his lungs, and this is the same reason."

"Please trouble my aunt to detoxify my father!" Mu Yao was the first to recover, and cupped his hands at Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei accepted the gift calmly, and the emperor's life was saved by her several times.Thanks to his son, she can still afford it.

"Just prepare as Yao'er said, and start as soon as possible. If you need anything, Li Taiyi will fully cooperate with you." Shi Niang looked a little dazed. Such a strong person, who is to blame for this step?

"There are two things that Imperial Physician Li can't find, only the empress can make the decision." Xiao Hei glanced at Concubine Jia and said softly.

"Say." Shi Niang spit out this word, and Xiao Hei said that he could understand it, but he couldn't guarantee it. The emperor really had a short lifespan.

"The slaves need the blood from the fingertips of the elder prince and the young prince as a primer for medicine." Xiao Hei lowered his head after finishing speaking. The emperor's Gu poison has lost too much blood, and the essence blood must be taken. As for who to take, it is not She is a witch who can call the shots.

"Can this king's blood save my father?" Mu Yao shook his head at the disapproving look in the concubine Shangjia's eyes.The less people know about the emperor's situation, the better for their mother and son.

There are only four of the elder princes, namely the second prince, the fourth prince, the fifth beige and him.The second prince has been restless and wants to replace him all the time; the fourth prince is imprisoned in the clan mansion, and he heard from the eighth uncle that his mind is not normal;Only his own blood is the safest, but he has a Gu worm bone on his body, so he cannot take blood because he is afraid that the blood will be affected by the Gu worm.

"The third prince has my Nanming's Gu king in his body. Your blood can suppress the Gu worms in your majesty's body, so it's fine." Xiao Hei was a little moved by Mu Yao's actions, and reminded him a few more words, "It's Xiao Hei's blood. The blood of the prince needs to be from children between the ages of three and six, and the little prince needs to be raised for a long time after the blood is taken."

"Go and bring Jing'er here to draw blood for your father." Shi Niang supported her head with her hands, and explained to her eldest son for a long time, "Xiao Shi let your daughter-in-law look after him, and that villain won't just because the emperor is in danger. Don't do it."

"By my brother and sister, the son kept someone. It's Xiao Liu, it's not because of him, Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu are the same. Xiao Qi has Concubine Hui, and Xiao Jiu is in the Yaohua Palace of the mother concubine. Why bother?" ..."

"According to what I said, your younger brother can save your father. This is his greatest reliance in the future. It's really for his own good, so hurry up!"

The sixth prince always wins the favor of the emperor, and he will always be with him on weekdays.Something happened to the emperor, but the six princes didn't save their father. If it spread, it was the best reason for others to attack their mother and son.

"My son understands, I'm going to pick up my sixth younger brother to Yichun Palace." King Ze took a deep look at his mother and concubine, got up and walked out of the hall.

After he came out of the main hall, Ruo Min stepped forward and reported, "Master, the eight kings brought people to guard the princess of the side hall, and Master Hui said that he would come to guard the emperor for you."

"Let Sister Hui rest for a while, I can still hold on." Shi Niang shook her head wearily, and said to Xiao Hei, "You also go to rest for a while, and I will trouble you when Yao'er and the others come. "

"Your maidservant is fine, go in and help Imperial Physician Li prepare things together." Xiao Hei returned to the inner hall after saluting.

Not long after, Mrs. Huimin entered the main hall, and when she saw Shang Shiniang's tired and red eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

"But the emperor's condition is not good?" asked in a trembling voice as he came to Shi Niang's side in two steps at a time.

Shi Niang didn't hide anything from her, and told her all the diagnoses of the imperial physician and Xiao Hei.A few days ago when southern Xinjiang was regained, the Chen family's family lost a lot of manpower, and their power was suppressed by the emperor a lot, but Mrs. Hui didn't make a fuss. For her knowledge, Shi Niang was still willing to trust her as an ally.Besides, Huimin's wife, Chen Minxian, is from the emperor's dark department. If she knows, it means that the emperor knows.

She pondered this matter for a long time after her son left, whether she should tell the emperor the truth.In the end, she chose to be honest and relevant. The emperor is such a proud person, and she couldn't bear to still lie to him in the end.

In the past few years, she watched with cold eyes, the emperor tempered and oppressed Mu Yao, but taught Mu Jing carefully.This time the emperor was assassinated, she actually remembered those words he had said intentionally or unintentionally back then.After thinking about it again, I found that for the eldest son, the emperor actually cultivated him in the direction of a virtuous king in Liujing.Then the second son...

Shi Niang decides to take a gamble, and everyone is happy if she wins; if she loses, it's nothing but a comeback.Then, as a pawn placed by the emperor in the harem, Mrs. Huimin must be honest with her.

After all, Chen Minxian is a woman who has gone through a lot of wind and waves. After listening to Shi Niang's words, she quickly collected her emotions and said to Shi Niang,
"I see, this is fate. Sister Jia has worked hard, you go to rest first, I will stay and guard the emperor. When Xiaosan comes back, I will naturally send someone to notify my sister."

Shi Niang still had other things hidden in her heart that she wanted to find out, so she didn't refuse anymore, and took Si Jin to the side hall to rest.

After leaving the main hall, Shi Niang didn't go directly to rest in the empty room, but went to the room of Mrs. Duanxian in the side hall.

Lu Rongjing had been waiting for her for a long time, and pushed a cup of scented tea in front of Shi Niang, "I knew my sister would come to see me. Min Xian won't say much about this matter, we are the only ones in the palace who have an impression of that That's it. Since my sister wants to know, I will naturally tell you one by one."

"My sister is a smart person. Such a person dares to assassinate the emperor, let alone you and me. I also want to know myself and the enemy, and not to be tricked by her. I will tell my sister that there are many things in the process, and the emperor protects her. I have no choice , I just want to know why?"

"My sister's worries and questions, I will solve them for you today." Lu Rongjing avoided Shi Niang's gaze, and said in a low voice, "Over the years, my younger sister and Li Siqin have been favored by many in the palace. Everyone knows how my younger sister is, and Li Siqin is arrogant. Domineering, how can He De be a first-class imperial concubine? Lu, Li, and Chen are not bad at all? How can she, Li Siqin, suppress me and Minxian? It's just because her temperament is so much like a person That's all."

"Ouyang Ruixin, the empress dowager?" Ten Niang's heart suddenly felt empty, with a dull pain.What is the difference between the emperor's love for the Li family and his love for himself?In the early years, her temperament was also ostentatious, and even in these years, she showed love more than respect and fear in front of the emperor.The emperor doted on Zhen Wanyi a few years ago. Who could say clearly whether it was because Zhen Wanyi looked like a concubine or a concubine?

"At that time, there were six prominent families in Yujing, the Xiao family, the Ouyang family, the Lu family, the Li family, the Chen family and the Liu family. The Xiao family gave birth to the empress dowager and the empress dowager. Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao have not come out for many years, and the emperor also has many concubine sons. The queen mother begged, and he accepted her niece into the palace. Less than a year after the Queen Mother entered the palace, she gave birth to six princes, who were raised under the empress dowager's knees , Equivalent to half a legitimate son. Later, the first emperor died, and the regent King Shu Liang Jingwang regented, and the eight-year-old prince succeeded to the throne and changed Yuan Zhaokang. The adoptive mother and the biological mother are respected as the queen mothers of the two palaces."

"Although the Xiao family is prominent, there are no capable ministers. The emperor's mother family has not brought him any real benefits. The wife of the head of the Ouyang family is a sister of the same mother as the wife of the regent."

"It seems that my sister is not completely ignorant, and people like us always inquire about the family background of the people in the palace before entering the palace."

"General Ouyang and the regent are brothers-in-law, so they are naturally reused. They guard the northern border, and the Kunsang grassland does not dare to violate the border easily. Unlike the regent and the princess, the general and his wife love him. Several sons They are all descendants, and at the age of 30, they even got a daughter. Naturally, this eldest lady of the Ouyang family is regarded as the jewel in the palm of her hand, and she is extremely pampered. King Liang Jing has never had any children, and the concubine has no children. Uncle values ​​it. It’s good to love the eldest lady of Ouyang’s family.”

"Did my sister have a festival with her?"

"Ouyang Ruixin has been domineering since she was a child, and she is not able to tolerate others. Compared with her, among the noble daughters in Yujing, the daughter of the Xiao family is more popular. But Daliang has never had the rule of two dynasties and three queens. Naturally, the girl has nothing to do with the backseat. The empress dowager and the Xiao family valued her a lot. When the girl of the Xiao family was very young, she was sent to the palace to accompany the empress dowager. My father once said at the time that the Xiao family was afraid that they would want to marry the emperor. Concubine. The emperor grew up with his cousin and loves her very much."

"Miss Xiao will go home to stay for a while every ten days, and she will also attend the gathering of noble ladies in the capital. Once, she met the eldest lady of the Ouyang family, and it was Bengong who made them meet. It is ridiculous to say , Ouyang Ruixin loves to wear red clothes, so she overbearingly forbids others to wear them too. I didn't know, but I just wore the same color clothes as her, and was pushed down the Huxin Pavilion by the girl beside her. In such a cold winter, I was not allowed to go ashore with so many people around. My nanny hugged me in the water, pleading bitterly, not daring to offend the rest of the Ouyang family, but she dared not go into the water to save me. Only Chen Minxian sent a girl to report the news, and she I was punished to kneel. I was shivering from the cold in the water, and when I saw Chen Minxian knelt on the ground and wept softly, I thought, one day, I will make Ouyang Ruixin die."

"and after?"

"Later, Chen Minxian's girl bumped into Xiao Mengzhen. Xiao Mengzhen, who grew up in the palace, was naturally not afraid of Ouyang Ruixin, and led someone to rescue Chen Minxian and me, and wanted to send us home."

"The queen is a kind person. But according to what my sister said, I'm afraid Miss Ouyang will not let it go."

"I was so cold that I was about to pass out. In a daze, I saw that woman in red, like a ghost, with a vicious smile on her face, pushing the queen into the water herself. After hearing the news, I rushed The Xiao family who came here naturally refused to let go, Ouyang Ruixin was pointed at the nose by the lady of the Xiao family and scolded. The wife of the Ouyang family quickly took her away, and ordered us to come to the door to apologize."

"The Lu family and the Chen family don't dare to offend them, so naturally they won't lose face. I stayed in bed for a whole winter before taking care of myself. Later, I heard from family members that Miss Xiao was taken back to the palace by the Queen Mother to be raised. The Xiao family closed their doors to thank the guests who came to the Ouyang family. The regent princess brought Ouyang Ruixin into the palace to plead guilty, and begged the Queen Mother to help the two families reunite."

"That's when the emperor met Ouyang Ruixin?"

"The emperor is used to seeing women who are afraid of him or fawning on him in the palace. When he saw Ouyang Ruixin, who has a wild temper, he fell in love with him for some reason. Later, the girl from the Ouyang family often accompanied the princess into the palace to pay her respects. , and the emperor gradually spread gossip."

"It's a bold one. A girl who hasn't left the cabinet is wooing a man, and the Empress Yuan is really capable."

"In the fourth year of Zhaokang, after the election of the emperor, the Xiao family took the eldest girl back to the mansion. The queen candidate had already been decided between the Ouyang family and the Xiao family. The regent chose the Ouyang family for the emperor, the Holy Mother and the Empress Dowager I also secretly pointed out the marriage for the Xiao family girl. This person is none other than my sixth brother. Just wait for the emperor to get married, and the two families will exchange Geng Tie."

"Ah?" Shi Niang was startled. The empress had promised her such a thing was too unbelievable, "Mother, the empress dowager would allow it? Didn't she just point to the Xiao family's longevity?"

"So the Empress Dowager, who was referring to the marriage, was secretly referring to the marriage. My father also had military power in his hand at that time, and he served under General Ouyang for many years. After your grandfather left, although the Northwest Army was weak, they could still encourage them to fight against the Northwest Army." There is a confrontation in Xinjiang, and my father also has certain influence in northern Xinjiang."

"The queen mother wants to use your family and the Du family's influence, just in case."

"Why can the Du family be sure that you can enter the palace as a concubine? Because the Queen Mother agreed to your family, the Du family gave military power, and the royal family accepted Du Concubine."

"So that's how it is, that's how it is." Ten Niang smiled bleakly, "Mu Yunlan, you really are calculating."
