Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 348 Ask
"What, go and have a look!" Chen Wenxin heard Xi'er's voice outside, and immediately sat up and was about to walk towards me.

When Bai Lu saw this, she wanted to follow her. When she got up together, her legs bent straight down, unable to exert any strength at all.Chen Wenxin quickly helped her sit on the couch, shook her head and said: "You just wait here, the doctor said that you are not allowed to move around at will."

"Can……"

"It's fine, but you won't go out even if you walk around the palace, don't worry." Chen Wenxin said with a smile.

Bai Lu also knew her physical condition, so she nodded regretfully and watched Chen Wenxin go out.Chen Wenxin patted the back of her hand to reassure her, and then walked out.

Xi'er was waiting in front of her. She seemed to have just gotten up, wrapped in a blanket, and stomped outside.

The weather had already turned cold, and Chen Wenxin felt a gust of cold air rushing towards her face as soon as she stepped out the door.She quickly stretched out her hand to the host and said to Xi'er: "Come over, it's such a cold day, don't freeze."

"Mother, that nobleman Zeng is awake, but she seems to be in a daze, and she doesn't know what's wrong..." Xi'er let out a breath, and she instantly felt that her tongue was going to be frozen off.

Chen Wenxin just carried Xi'er to Xiao Xiazi's house, and it was useless to say anything before seeing her.

In order not to be noticed, the lights in the room were not lit.The door of the secret passage had been sealed, so they dug a gap from the side for only one person to pass through. Xi'er led the way, and Chen Wenxin followed.

Another exit of the chamber of secrets has been opened, which is hidden in a piece of Xiangfei bamboo in the imperial garden, even if it is fully opened, no one will see it.

Zeng Guiren was lying on a simple bed made of straw, covered with several thick quilts, but her face was still pale, and her lips were slightly purple.

The moonlight poured in from outside and fell on her pale face, making her almost transparent.

"Be patient for a while, I've kicked out all the people I don't trust, and I'll take you up when you're more able to move." Chen Wenxin touched her forehead, which was still hot.

Zeng Guiren shook her head, and looked at Chen Wenxin weakly, with big tears rolling down, she choked up and said: "Madam, I was deceived by lard, ungrateful, and wanted to kill you. Now you Let people treat you like this, I...I..."

"Okay, don't talk about it. Just know what you did wrong and correct it. You haven't been in the palace for long, so you don't know the women in the harem. It's not easy to deal with." Chen Wenxin patted her on the shoulder.

It's useless to apologize at this time, and she doesn't like to listen to it.

No matter whether she repented or took the opportunity to show favor, no matter what they said, it was impossible for them to have no grievances as before.

It's just that she doesn't want to pursue her mistakes now, and she can't just forgive her like this. This kind of emotional matter is still secondary, and now the final thing is Concubine Hui's matter.

She looked at Zeng Guiren's expression, then turned to ask Imperial Physician Yang: "How is your health?"

"The nobleman has been frightened and has a cold. Now he is worrying and worrying. His foundation is not good. But as long as he takes good care of him and doesn't worry about it, he will gradually get better." Imperial Physician Yang stood aside and said politely.

"Okay. I just want to trouble you to go to the Tai Hospital to get the medicine and keep it from other people." Chen Wenxin whispered.

Imperial Physician Yang showed a clear look, and he nodded: "It's fortunate that my mother allowed Weichen to learn medical skills from Mr. Bai. Now Weichen's medical skills have improved a lot, and he can do some things in the Imperial Hospital. Madam, don't worry."

"Oh, in just a few days, your medical skills have improved?" Chen Wenxin was a little surprised, it only took five or six days.

"Yes, Mr. Bai's medical skills are really superb." Imperial Physician Yang was also a little shy.

Xi'er, who was standing by the side, joked: "The old man's medical skills are superb, but you are the one who is thick-skinned. Madam, you don't know, he knows that there is a famous doctor from outside, so he goes crazy. Jumping up and down in the room, they didn't wait for the old man to rest, so they went to ask him for advice."

Doctor Yang blushed a lot when Xi'er said this, he looked at Xi'er very embarrassed, but Xi'er became more complacent, raised his eyebrows and looked at him, he could only sigh helplessly.

Looking at the interaction between the two, Chen Wenxin felt a little understanding in her heart.

She whispered something in Xi'er's ear, and Xi'er immediately lowered her head and a red glow appeared on her face. She said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, please stop teasing your servants. Who would take a liking to such an idiot."

"Physician Yang also saved my life, why is he a fool." Chen Wenxin covered her mouth and laughed lightly. Seeing that both of them were shy, she laughed twice, shook her head and said: "That's all, this matter Let's not talk about it now, after a while, the mess will be dealt with, and then we will talk slowly."

Xi'er heard what Chen Wenxin meant, and lowered her head.

On the contrary, Imperial Physician Yang looked at Chen Wenxin strangely, as if he didn't understand, Chen Wenxin didn't wake him up, just shook his head, looked at Xi'er and said, "Hey, you are such a clever ghost, you actually want a piece of wood?"

"Wood is good, but it's only good for me." Xi'er whispered.

Chen Wenxin was stunned when she heard this, she thought of the emperor.The emperor never blush, and he has a good tongue, so he never only treats her well.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?" Xi'er didn't understand, she thought she said something wrong, and looked at Chen Wenxin worriedly.

Seeing her appearance, Chen Wenxin shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered something. You guys go out first, go outside and look at the big moon, I'll have a word with you."

"Yes."

The two nodded and went out one after the other.

Chen Wenxin moved a small stool and sat beside Zeng, only to see her staring at the charcoal fire in the basin next to her, not knowing what she was thinking.

"The cold palace is on fire. In the afternoon, I asked someone to inquire about it. They said that a person was burned to death, and the guards had already carried the body out. It was our luck. Those guards took advantage of the dark to deal with it. Became you."

Chen Wenxin was actually not sure, so he sent people to inquire again and again before he got the news.

Concubine Hui only said that Mrs. Zeng committed suicide in fear of crime. I heard that she was planning to report this matter to the emperor to punish Mrs. Zeng.

Mrs. Zeng came back to her senses when she heard this. She laughed like a self-deprecating smile: "Originally, my concubine was just a fool who was used by others. Now she is worthless. This is the consequence. If the empress did not come to see me kindly, I'm afraid I'm really in the mass grave now."

"It's good that you know this." Chen Wenxin knew that she was a little frustrated now, which was natural, but there were some things that she had to care about: "It's just an affair, is it true?"

"No! Absolutely not true!" Hearing what she said, Zeng Guiren immediately shook his head.

Seeing her reaction so fiercely, Chen Wenxin was a little surprised. She paused and asked, "But that day someone heard that your personal maid, Xiang Que, found Su Liang, the little eunuch guarding the gate of the inner palace, and said she wanted to buy abortion medicine. Xiang Que Que said, you are pregnant with a child and want to fall, as for the purpose..."

"...I originally thought that if I could get the emperor's attention, it would be fine as sympathy, so that I could gain a foothold in the palace." Hearing what she said, Zeng Guiren's eyes dimmed.

"So, this thing is..."

"No, I thought about it and told Xiang Que that. But, I never asked her to buy abortion pills, because I wasn't pregnant at all!" Zeng Guiren explained anxiously, as she said Almost cried.

Chen Wenxin looked at her quietly, and didn't say anything, just watching her so lightly, Zeng Guiren cried for a while, and gradually calmed down.

She hooked the corners of her mouth desolately: "I know, even if I say so, the empress will probably not believe it, but I really didn't lie. I thought about it before, but all this is because of Concubine Hui. I said that in the harem, only the emperor's attention can gain a foothold."

As Guiren Zeng said, he let out a long sigh, and she sat up suddenly, and Chen Wenxin hurried over to support her.

She nodded to show her thanks, then she took off her outer clothes, and then opened her middle clothes, Chen Wenxin looked at her movements a little strangely.

She didn't explain, but tried hard to turn the clothes inside out. Chen Wenxin saw that she was struggling, so she reached out to help her pull out the clothes, only to see that there was a small piece of cloth sewn inside, and on the cloth A line of words is embroidered.

"Guiwei, safflower, paeonol, aconite, rhubarb, peach kernel, guangui, and curcuma are five qian each, and white vinegar paste is made into pills. Each serving is three qian, one payment at dusk, one payment at midnight, and one payment at five o'clock. Or one payment Immediately, there is no need to take it again."

"This... what is this?" Chen Wenxin looked at the name of the medicine written on it, but she didn't understand what it was for. Although she also had speculations in her heart, she dared not say it out.

Zeng Guiren sneered, and said: "This is the abortion prescription that Concubine Hui asked her personal maid, Cui Li, to give me. That maid is a good embroiderer, and she embroidered such a prescription in front of me. Concubine Hui It is said that the cost of paper and pens must be registered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is not easy for people to know with this method.”

Chen Wenxin didn't know this, she asked: "Why do you have to register your pen and ink? I don't know..."

"The empress is the emperor's favorite concubine, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is fawning on her. People like us are not allowed to read and write a lot, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are just for show. When the rice paper is used, it has to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get it. , must be recorded.”

Zeng Guiren said, with tears in his eyes: "I was stupid. At that time, I thought she was sincere for me. Unexpectedly, she just wanted to use this method to let me die earlier."

Chen Wenxin patted her on the back, she took the handkerchief, looked at it calmly, but her heart skipped a beat, the handwriting was exactly the same as the word 'Hui'!
