Chapter 226
Mr. Fang, Mrs. Tianhan was not in a good mood a few days ago, what is the result of your diagnosis? "The queen sat there and asked leisurely. It has always been a rule that if a concubine is sick, she must first invite the queen, and then the queen will summon the imperial doctor to the inner court for diagnosis and treatment. The results of the treatment must also be reported to the queen. The palace is not in the palace, and all affairs are handled by the princess. Now that I have returned to the palace, all affairs in the palace will of course be handed over to me again. "Reporting to the empress, Mr. Han has had a dragon vein for two months, and this humble minister is about to report to the empress.However, the nobleman has always been weak and has an unstable fetal condition, and this minister is about to prescribe some anti-fetal medicines for the nobleman, so that he can take care of himself slowly. Doctor Fang knelt on the ground, dressed in a green shirt, not stained with dust, the queen was leaning on the big welcoming pillow, his eyes moved down slightly, Master Fang raised his head in time, saw the queen's sharp eyes, and hurriedly dodged, a snow-white His face was flushed, and he heard that Mrs. Han was pregnant, and it was during the time when Ben Gong was not in the palace, he couldn't help feeling annoyed, picked up the tea bowl on the table, and wanted to throw it on the ground, his hand was already raised high, Suddenly, I heard the copper bell hanging on the corner of the temple in the distance, tinkling by the wind, and occasionally a half-tone came from a distance, and I heard it in my ears, as if I was in the quietness of the wilderness. Feeling disappointed for a while. Slowly put down the tea bowl, held the tea bowl as if nothing had happened, lost his concentration in a daze, and finally took a sip of tea. Put down the tea bowl, and said, "Master Fang, I'm not feeling well, please help me check my pulse." . Physician Fang respectfully walked to the Queen's side, lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the Queen, and half-kneeled on the soft couch, Bi'er took a golden silk embroidered cushion with flowers and put it on the table, and I put my hand on it. Going up, Bi'er took another silk handkerchief to cover my hand, then the doctor Fang stretched out two fingers, and lightly rested on my veins. After a while, a smile appeared on his face: "Empress, this is the joy vein." what! "I raised my eyebrows: "My lord Fang, today I just asked you about the nobleman Han's condition as a routine. After you go down, you will truthfully report the nobleman's pregnancy to the emperor.As for your pulse diagnosis for this palace, you don’t have to remember it, you know? "Physician Fang stood there, looking at me inexplicably, and I smiled slightly: "I believe you can keep your mouth shut for me, right? A trace of embarrassment flashed across Imperial Physician Fang's face, and his hands trembled slightly, "Master Fang, can I trust you?" I fixed my eyes on him and said slowly. After half a stick of incense, Imperial Physician Fang straightened up, clasped his fists with both hands and said, "I am willing to be driven by your mother!" "

The news of Mrs. Han's pregnancy immediately spread throughout the six palaces. In addition to the rewards, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor issued a decree that Mrs. Jin Han was given as a gift, and the lords of each palace also had their own gifts. .I authorized the nobleman Han to avoid the morning and evening appointments, as long as he was born and raised in the palace, and I also ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make an exception to distribute Xi Chongyuan's share according to the official position.

In December, the sky saw that it was getting colder every day, and the house of internal affairs had new furs of various colors. They were lying on the kang, holding a small hand stove in their hands, and watching Bier lead the maids to choose. "Master, look, this is the material for this year's new tribute, and the embroidery is very delicate!" Wan Cui shook out a bunch of silk and satin for me to see, all colorful and radiant, Bi'er smiled and said: "Yes, Hurry up and put it away, so that others will think it is a silk and satin shop when they see it." Just as they were talking lively, Yan Xiuyi and Wu Xiurong both came, the queen quickly gave him a seat, and asked the maid to serve tea, and said with a smile: "Today Coincidentally, the two younger sisters are here." Yan Xiuyi said: "I wanted to visit the empress a few days ago, but I was afraid that the empress would be too busy with her affairs and we would be bothersome. The weather is fine today, so I came here to say hello, who would have thought I met Wu Zhaoyi outside the palace gate, so we came in together." "Is this the pattern of the new tribute weaving in Suzhou?" Yan Xiuyi carefully looked at the rouge and white butterflies wearing flowers and brocade on the kang, "Yes. , I can’t run out of so many horses, and I’m planning to send someone to send two horses to Xi Chongyuan, and I ate tea slowly, "Isn’t there a special case at Yimei Palace? Why..." Yan Xiuyi’s face turned slightly Sluggish, I smiled slightly, "She was born as a court lady, and her status is lower than yours. Although there is a special decree from the palace to distribute according to the ceremonies, the income is limited. Besides, she was appointed by the queen mother, so she is very worthy of the emperor's attention." Huanxin, now that she is pregnant again, I naturally want to take care of her, and I think the queen mother feels comfortable looking at her. "Speaking, he pointed a few words to the Kang, and ordered Xuanyu to take people to Yimei Palace. "Yes, in the future, Hangui will be born, whether it is a princess or a prince, he will definitely be promoted again, empress The empress is thoughtful. "Wu Xiurong thought for a while. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the silk in Yan Xiuyi's hand twisted a few times, and then slowly sent it away. She was amused in her heart, but changed the subject: "Speaking of heirs, you two are also in front of the emperor. A proud man, accompanied by him for a long time, and a wealthy family member, how can he tell him to go ashore first when he arrives late? "Empress, my younger sister also wants to, but how can you force this kind of thing, let's take care of it," Wu Xiurong blushed, Yan Xiuyi's mouth twitched slightly, and finally held back, but remained silent.

Yan Xiuyi returned to the palace, sat there just sullen, but the palace maid Rong'er opened the curtain and came in, but her hands were empty.The imperial physician previously diagnosed and treated Yan Xiuyi who suffered from stagnation of cold and stagnation of qi and blood, so she was infertile for a long time. She prescribed Tiaojing Pills to help her conceive.She originally sent Rong'er to the imperial pharmacy to get it. Seeing this, she couldn't help asking: "Rong'er, where is the medicine?" I answered, so I waited for a long time, and finally the master of the pharmacy came over, and said that the three herbs of white peony root, angelica, and ginseng are going to be prepared for Empress Xi Chongyuan to make ginseng and pregnancy-preventing pills, and the master's medicine will be made later." The words touched Yan Xiuyi's mind, and she took the dust fly on the kang and hit Rong'er face to face, cursing: "She is your kind of mother, I can't even send you to get medicine!" Not daring to move, several people knelt on the ground, the more Yan Xiuyi thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more forceful she struck, Rong'er felt wronged, but she couldn't speak, she was beaten until she cried and begged for mercy.Seeing that the beating was really hard, Zhen'er boldly persuaded: "Master, calm down, your body is important, you don't have to be angry for a slave, be careful if your hands hurt." Yan Xiuyi said harshly: "I tell you, let you How capable these servants are, don't even try to turn on me!" Zhen'er tried to persuade her again, and then gradually calmed down, she hurriedly winked at Rong'er, and Rong'er then hid.Zhen'er said: "It's human nature for them to hold the high and step down the low." Then she comforted her: "No matter what you say, just don't take it to your heart. Since they deliberately make things difficult, let's just wait." Yanxiu Yi slowly flipped the tea leaves with the lid of the bowl, and said: "Huh, I'm just pregnant now, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, she's even bigger than the princess, I want to see how long she can be good! Zhen'er said: "Don't worry, master, no matter what she does, she can't surpass you, master."

It was dawning this day, and when I lifted the curtain to look, I saw that the window was dazzling, and it was still sunny, and the sun had already come out.Unexpectedly, Bi'er came in and brushed off the snowdrops on her body, and said with a smile: "It's snowing heavily, the ground is more than a foot thick." Seeing me leaning on the pillow very tiredly, she said with a smile: "My servant saw dozens of red plants in the garden. The plums are in full bloom, and my master is going to enjoy them now, and it matches the color of the snow just right." Then I put on small gold-pinned and cloud-red fragrant sheepskin boots, and put on a white fox-like crane cloak with a big red feather veil, and a cloak on my head. Snow cap, took Bi'er to find it through the snow.Looking around, there is no difference, there are green pines and green bamboos in the distance, walking to the foot of Diecui Mountain, and just turning around along the foot of the mountain, you can already smell a cold fragrance, and dozens of red plums are like rouge, reflecting With snow color, it looks very energetic, so interesting!Then he stood still, greedy for a while, and walked down the blue stone road.Unconsciously, when I walked to a secluded place, there were only two small houses nearby. It was supposed to be the warehouse where the gardeners who cleaned the garden stored their tools. Said: "As slaves, what can we do if we are beaten and scolded?" The voice vaguely sounds like Zhen'er's.The crying female voice said angrily: "She doesn't live up to her own stomach, and the people in the palace don't give her face, so they vent their anger on me. What is this? If I have the ability, I will fight for a dragon." "Shh , You don't want to die!" Another person said, "Stop talking." "It's just that she is too vicious. I used to be the person in front of the imperial concubine, and it was the empress who called me here because she saw that she was not enough manpower. The last time she took the medicine, she broke her heart disease, and she kept looking for me, beating or scolding, even a noble concubine, she never treated me like this. Now she accused me of stealing her bracelet, and wants to send me to Xinzhe Go to Ku. Good sister, don't you think I'm done?" The woman began to cry again. "Hey, it's all fate..." Another person sighed, "Huh, most of them are servants of servants, just don't push me into a hurry and tell me to say good things and do good things. I don't know if she's so distracted looking at you..." "Stop talking, don't bring up today's matter again, I just pretend I didn't hear it, and I'll plead for you later." Another person said anxiously.I smiled slightly, waved to Bi'er, walked all the way for a while, bypassed the rockery, and arrived at the palace road.

When it was time for the palace gate to drop the key, Xuan Yu came in from the outside, quietly handed me a pack of yellow medicinal powder, and said in a low voice: "My lord said, whether you do it or not is entirely up to you, the master. You must be careful." The small paper bag When it was handed to my palm, I subconsciously squeezed it tightly, and my palm was sweating.I say nothing, saffron, that is a folk medicine for abortion.I sat on the soft couch, raised my onion-like fingers, the ten fingertips were a little scarlet, it was a desolate color.The fingernails are smooth and round, and slightly curved downwards, enough to cover the medicine powder.Bi'er was terrified when she saw it, and asked tremblingly: "Master, are you really planning to do this?" I smiled anxiously: "I haven't thought about it yet." The piece of meat in it is also related to the evil seed of Lord Li in my stomach. Although I didn't expect him to come, he is also my flesh and blood after all. Maybe he is a handsome and suave boy like his father. It is very likely that it is a girl who is as beautiful as me... It's just a thought!

The next day, I went to Yimei Palace, the warm pavilion was filled with aloes, the curtains were lowered, and a sick beauty Han nobleman was lying on a soft couch.In the middle of gossip, a court lady came in coquettishly, carrying a carved lacquer food box in her hand, and greeted her with a smile: "My maidservant greets Empress Empress and Empress Chongyuan." Xuan'er, who served beside nobleman Han, recognized her, Then she called her by name: "Sister Rong'er, did your master send you here?" Rong'er nodded, handed the food box in her hand to Xuan'er, and said to Hangui, "This is white fungus and bird's nest porridge. The master said that it is the most invigorating and refreshing, so I specially sent it here for the empress to taste it." There are small kitchens in every palace, and concubines and concubines give food to each other, wishing is not unusual, nobleman Han didn't care, so let Xuan'er continue, He said in his mouth: "Thank you for your trouble, please thank Yan Zhaorong for me." He left Rong'er to drink tea in the toilet, but Rong'er declined and said, "Thank you for your reward from Empress Chongyuan, but the master sent the slave to go elsewhere, so Don't be idle." After Rong'er left, Xuan'er opened the food box and saw that it was indeed a large bowl of white fungus and bird's nest porridge, so I laughed and said, "It smells really sweet, it's so gluttonous, just now I heard Xuan'er said that you only used a little bit when you got up early, why don't you use it while it's hot, and it's not a disappointment to her." After she finished speaking, she still had something to say, and then smiled at nobleman Han: "Seeing you eat, I will also index my fingers." I’m so excited, how about I just be in your honor?” The nobleman Han smiled shyly, “It’s an honor for the empress to appreciate your face.” I stood up with a smile on my face, washed my hands, and filled a silver bowl with white fungus and bird’s nest. When my hand touched the warm silver bowl, the mild heat made my heart ache, and my hands trembled slightly.The curled hands clenched tightly, and the nails pinched the palm of the hand so painfully.Don't be afraid, Yuehua, don't be afraid... My hand slowly opened again, and I tremblingly reached towards the steaming mouth... Because of the strong reaction, Mr. Han took a few mouthfuls and pushed it away, but I I drank a bowl carefully, the hot steam on my face made my eyes sore.In a trance, full of misery.After eating porridge and gossiping a few more words, I took my leave.The snow in winter made me dizzy, Bier held me tightly, her face was full of worry, and before I could walk a few steps, I felt dizzy, my eyes darkened, and I fell to the ground, "Come on! The empress has fainted!" It's gone!" Billy screamed.

The queen was in cold sweat from the pain, her limbs twitched, and she tossed and turned on the bed. The terrible split pain between her chest and abdomen made me want to cry out, but in the end I could only utter a vague moan.It is better to die, such pain, it is really better to die.There seemed to be a very blunt knife in my body, cutting through the flesh and blood piece by piece, and peeling off my whole body.The pain broke out again and again, and I endured it to the limit, sobbing like I was dying.Big tears slid down the corners of my eyes, and the excruciating pain from the peeling of flesh and blood distorted my sanity. I almost exhausted all my strength to make a weak voice: "Your Majesty..." His Majesty was extremely anxious, and in the hall Walking around the room is almost like a trapped animal.All of a sudden, I heard my voice, through the window curtain and so many people, I was tossing and weeping, the voice was shrill and painful: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Thinking back to that year, it was the same, I had a miscarriage, now... ...I just felt that Xin Shengsheng was gouged out and was riddled with blood.His eyes were red, he turned around suddenly, and strode towards the gate of the palace.Eunuch Xi panicked, and knelt down with a "plop" and hugged his legs tightly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are not allowed to go in." The Emperor became anxious, unable to get rid of it, more eunuchs and servants came up and knelt down. Kneeling and hugging, the emperor kicked and kicked wildly, and even his voice changed his tune: "Whoever dares to stop me, I will kill him today." The emperor snorted, and suddenly struggled hard, several eunuchs fell down On the ground, he rushed to the door in a few steps, and was about to reach out to push the door, when the little eunuch outside the palace hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone to see you." "Kicking open the door of the Nuan Pavilion, the envoys of the imperial hospital and the maids in the Nuan Pavilion turned their heads in fright. The eunuch kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said that Xi Chongyuan is not good." Your Majesty One step has already stepped into the threshold, when he heard this sentence, he finally paused, turned around slowly, suddenly bent down and grabbed the eunuch's skirt with force, and said hoarsely, "What did you say?" The eunuch was trembling with fright, Like sifting through chaff, he stammered and replied: "The Empress Dowager ordered someone to come and play, saying that Xi Chongyuan is not good." The voice behind him gradually faded away, and those buzzing whispers instantly froze into a void.After a long time, he came back to his senses: "What's wrong with Xi Chongyuan?" "The empress dowager said that Xi Chongyuan suddenly had a stomachache when she was holding the lamp, and her lower body was bleeding profusely. I'm afraid that both the dragon descendant and the empress are in danger." The emperor listened After a few words, he ordered in a deep voice: "Get up." Fang was about to step out of the threshold, and a low moan came from behind him, so hard, so desperate and so helpless: "Your Majesty..." He couldn't help turning his head. Can no longer leave.The blood soaked the mattress under me, and I curled up so terribly that I was dying, and I had no strength left.

King Xin and Lord Yu heard that something happened in the palace, and they entered the palace at dawn to see you.Seeing that I was getting better, the emperor left Luanyi Palace and summoned King Xin and Lord Yu. "Yesterday afternoon, the Empress suddenly fainted, and her redness continued. When the imperial doctor arrived, the dragon fetus in her belly was lost. In addition, Yimei Gong Xi Chongyuan also suddenly passed out at the end of her life. The doctor and Wen Po came in, and they were already popular, and they were dragged from Shenmo to Haishi, and the Chongyuan Empress and the dragon fetus could not be kept." The great eunuch Xi Gonggong, who served the imperial court, said slowly, the emperor not only died in a day, The second son, together with Xi Chongyuan passed away, and the queen's life was hanging by a thread. She was so heartbroken that she stayed up all night. Junyi's face was frighteningly pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was so haggard that he lost his shape.When King Xin heard the bad news, he felt as if his heart was being pierced by a knife, so he called out in a low voice, "Brother Huang." He didn't say a word.The emperor looked at the two in a daze, and after a long while, he said to Master Yu: "I will leave this matter to you. Both the empress and Xi Chongyuan were murdered by someone. You have to find this person for me." Master Yu is in charge of the Dianqian army, although this matter involves the inner court, but such a poisoning and assassination incident is also within his duty.So he saluted silently, implying compliance.When he came out, he immediately sent people to call all the maids and eunuchs from Yimei Palace and Luanyi Palace to investigate one by one. After a while, they found out about the tremella and bird's nest porridge, and immediately sent people to take care of Rong'er.

The emperor was naturally furious: "Go and tell Prince Xin and ask him and Lord Yu to find out for me. No matter who is in charge, I will never allow such a sinister person in the Six Palaces." Xi Gonggong went to reply the letter in person king.

After Lord Xin Wang and Lord Yu questioned Rong'er, Rong'er confessed to being the envoy of Yan Zhao, Rong Yan Xiuyi, and then put Yan Zhao, Rongyan Xiuyi under house arrest in the palace, took all the maids and eunuchs away, and sent four other nuns to come, named As a servant, it is actually a surveillance.He reported back to the emperor again, and said: "How to deal with the matter of Yan Zhaorong, please show me the emperor." The emperor put down the notebook and said: "I think this matter is strange, and I ask myself that I have treated her well, and she also took off after the incident happened. It doesn't matter, why do you still want to do such a stupid thing?" Master Yu knew that the emperor was thoughtful and he would be suspicious, so he immediately said: "I think so too, Yan Zhaorong looks down on Tian En, it is really puzzling to do such a rebellious thing. "The emperor said: "The lady who delivered the porridge needs to be interrogated more carefully." Seeing that the emperor was suspicious, King Xin asked for an order to pass on the Xing Shensi to take charge of Changshan, and ordered: "This matter is of great importance. You should torture him carefully. , if she has the slightest ambiguity, pass on the stick, and if you can't find out why, you don't have to go back to Xing Shensi." The eunuchs of Xing Shensi are usually in charge of crimes in the six palaces, and they are the most shrewd. Capable, their methods are not inferior to the punishments outside. Now that they have the strict order of the prince and the decree to use punishments, they will be interrogated overnight, and at noon the next day, they will find out the clues.King Xin saw the confession, and quickly presented it to the emperor, "The palace man who delivered the medicine confessed that Yan Zhaorong was just angry that Xi Chongyuan was favored, and put some bearded crotons in the porridge. She also said that she Yan Zhaorong was so angry that she was instigated by Suqiu, a court lady next to the old concubine Shen Guifei, to rape Yan Zhaorong, so she put safflower medicine in the porridge. The official ordered someone to lock up Suqiu, It's just that she doesn't admit that she has seen Rong'er before, so please ask the emperor to show me." "Concubine? Okay, okay. Interrogation, continue to interrogate me, and must ask clearly. How did I treat her badly and make her act so viciously?" .” The emperor frowned, furious.

 The second watch arrives on time.
