The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Yuanyangwa Cold Cream Huazhong (3)

After waking up leisurely, it was already late at night on the second day. Zhu Chengbi only felt countless white figures dangling in front of his eyes in a haze.

After getting used to this feeling a little bit, Zhu Chengbi slowly opened his eyes, only to see Zhu Xi laying on the side of the bed drowsy, seeing himself waking up, he was very happy: "Your Majesty finally woke up!"

Yi Dan and Concubine Shu were half lying on the couch outside to rest, when they heard the words, they hurried into the inner hall, Concubine Shu's temples were slightly disheveled, she stepped forward a few steps, gently holding Concubine Lin's hands, her words were already choked up : "Sister, you finally woke up."

Yidan saw Zhu Chengbi leaning weakly on the suyu cushion, although his complexion was still not very good, but after all he had some strength, his face softened a little, and he sat down beside the bed.Zhu Chengbi saw that his eyes were covered with crow blue, and guessed that he hadn't slept well all the time, so he felt a little moved in his heart, Zhu Xi put Zhu Chengbi on a squirrel cloak carved in stone and blue silk, and stuffed it with a button. Tang Pozi from weft satin so that Zhu Chengbi can warm his hands.

Zhu Chengbi took a sip of a cup of white tea offered by Zhuyu, Fang Wenyan said to Yichen, "Why is your majesty so tired?"

It happened that Kapok came in with a bowl of thick medicine, and said, "Your Majesty passed out for a day and a night, and the Emperor and Concubine Shu also stayed with you for a day and a night."

With guilt on her face, Concubine Shu stretched out her hand to take the medicine bowl, and slowly blew away the floating layer of heat. She took a spoonful to test the temperature before handing it to Zhu Chengbi's lips, and said softly: "My sister suffered for me. With such a big grievance, how can I not be here to guard and accompany my sister?"

Zhu Chengbi smiled gratefully, swallowed the medicinal soup slowly, frowned and said, "It's so bitter."

Yi Dan hurriedly took a plate of golden silk candied dates from the bedside and handed it over, Fang sighed and said, "The Department of Prudence and Practice has already found out that the red dates and honey were planted by the Queen with the intention of murdering Yiguang. After taking a small sip, the poisoning is not deep, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Zhu Chengbi was shocked, and clutched the brocade quilt tightly, seemingly unbelievable: "The queen actually poisoned it? How could it be? Although the queen doesn't like the concubine, can she really be so heartless as to do such a rebellious thing?"

Yi Dan couldn't hide the look of disdain between his brows, even the pattern of dragon soaring and flying clouds on the dragon robe was tinged with anger: "The red crest of the crane was also found in her palace, she is irrefutable. "

Concubine Shu Gui was also silent, presumably she has not recovered from the fright of that day, Zhu Chengbi caught a glimpse of this situation, and knew that the Empress must be deeply feared by Yi Dan and Concubine Shu Gui, and if she wanted to turn over, it would be even more difficult Disaster.

Slightly silent for a moment, Zhu Chengbi said earnestly: "The empress must have been confused for a while, please don't give her too much guilt."

Yi Dan glanced at Concubine Shu, and sighed softly: "I know, I can't abolish her immediately because of my mother's intentions. Moreover, my mother called me to Yining Palace several times despite her illness, to persuade her I can't abolish the empress, and I have no other choice now, I can only ground her first and then make plans. But I can't release her immediately, if she continues to move those dirty thoughts about Yiguang..."

Zhu Chengbi was stunned, and hurriedly said: "It's my concubine who is not good, so I shouldn't talk about it..."

Yi Dan waved his hands and said, "It's okay, right now, we can only discuss slowly."

Zhu Chengbi was silent for a moment, knowing that as long as the empress dowager is still alive, the empress will definitely not be abolished. Pressing down the boredom and secret hatred in his heart, he said softly and caringly: "The emperor and the imperial concubine have been guarding for a day and a night, and they are exhausted. We should return as soon as possible." Let the palace rest."

Yi Dan responded, the tiredness on his face became more serious, he held Zhu Chengbi's hand and said a few words of comfort, he asked Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu to take care of him, and then he left with Concubine Shu.Zhu Xi secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the two leave, and drove away everyone, leaving only Imperial Physician Liang behind.

Imperial Physician Liang stood quietly with his hands behind his back. Seeing Zhu Chengbi holding a pajamas embroidered with plump roses on the head of the bed in a daze, he shook his head slightly and said, "Mother, this move is really too dangerous. If you take too much A little red crest, the consequences are unimaginable!"

Zhu Xi was also extremely anxious, so he couldn't help reprimanding lightly: "Is there really no other way, must hurt the empress's jade body?"

Zhu Chengbi closed his eyes slightly, and the scene at that time seemed to reappear in front of his eyes. In the blink of an eye, his fingers quickly slid across the edge of the bowl. On his fingers, there was a little crane top wrapped in air-dried extremely thin glutinous rice skin in advance. Red powder, because the glutinous rice skin has melted slightly after holding the jujube honey for a long time, with a light swipe of the finger, the crane top red was left on the edge of the bowl. This method has been practiced many times until the movement is so fast that even myself I can hardly notice it.

After a while, Zhu Chengbi said softly: "Only when I vomited blood and fell down, the emperor can imagine what a terrible scene it would be if Concubine Shu Gui was poisoned. In such a situation, it is useless to rely on description alone. He must see it with his own eyes." See."

Imperial Physician Liang seemed to sigh: "We have two silver needles in advance, one is intact, and the other has been soaked with Crane Dinghong in advance, just to prevent all the Crane Dinghong powder on the empress' fingers from being drunk by the empress." , but did not fall into the bowl, if the silver needle does not turn black, Wei Chen will take out another one to recharge."

Seeing Zhu Chengbi nodding his head lightly, Imperial Physician Liang said leisurely: "Your Majesty is really thoughtful. The first silver needle did not turn black. Fortunately, two were prepared in advance, otherwise it would be hard to say."

Zhu Chengbi thought for a moment, then said: "Is that bowl of jujube honey handled properly?"

Zhu Xi responded, "It's been dealt with, no one noticed."

Imperial Physician Liang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and comforted him: "Aunt Zhuxi is always the most appropriate, so you don't need to worry about it."

Zhu Chengbi nodded, half feeling emotional and half sad: "Aside from Min Shangshi, it's thanks to Zhenning's good acting that this time went so smoothly."

Zhu Xi was slightly stunned: "Diji is indeed calm-minded, she really can't tell that she is only 14 years old, but how did the empress persuade Diji to deal with the queen together?"

Zhu Chengbi smiled faintly: "Zhenning has always hoped that Xuanling would ascend to the throne, and it is true that mother and daughter are united. What's more, I promised to give her what she wanted most, even if Zhenning would shrink back because of fear, But, for something like that, I can force myself to be calm.”

Zhu Xizhen thought about it carefully, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, you mean a marriage contract?"

Zhu Chengbi glanced at a Heyang flower candle on the Pear Blossom Round Table, the faint halo flickered like fireflies, like Zhenning's unbelievable eyes on that day: "I was really afraid that I would lose the bet on that day. The heavens are willing to show mercy, Zhenning really likes Chen Shun." Seeing that the imperial doctor Liang was slightly surprised, Zhu Chengbi said with a smile, "It happened last year, that day when Chen Ke and his son entered the palace, I told Zhenning Go to the imperial garden and gather some red plums."

Zhu Xi understood, and said: "The servant girl looked at it from afar that day, it was really funny, Zhenning actually asked Chen Shun to perform the gift of a female family member to herself."

With a faint smile on his face, Zhu Chengbi continued: "Originally, there was no certainty about this matter, but at the small New Year's Eve banquet that day, when Chen Shunfei rescued Zhen Ning, I knew that there was a [-]% to [-]% chance of the matter. Since ancient times, although heroes are saddened by beautiful women, women are also saddened by heroes. Later, when Chen Ke's class teacher returned to Jizhou, Zhenning really begged Zhu Qizhen to take her to send Chen Shun off."

Zhu Xi couldn't help admiring the words, and tucked in a brocade quilt with peony patterns for Zhu Chengbi: "Only the empress understands Zhenning like this, so she can handle it properly."

Zhu Chengbi supported her with his hand: "Since I promised to allow her to descend to Chen Shun, she has no scruples anymore."

Zhu Chengbi thought for a while, what's more, Zhenning descended to Jizhou, even though the terrain was remote, but a marriage contract was exchanged for [-] troops on the border, and Yu Xuanling's throne was an indispensable guarantee. Thinking of this, Zhu Chengbi sighed faintly, Looking at Zhu Xi, "Zhu Xi, am I too cruel to even take advantage of my own daughter?"

Without hesitation, Zhu Xi said word by word: "Emperor Ji and Chen Shun are in love with each other, and the empress can't take advantage of it, not to mention how much the empress has suffered in these years, isn't it for the fourth prince? Mother and daughter are united, Empress, don't blame yourself."

Imperial Physician Liang also persuaded: "As long as it is for the throne, what the empress does is worthwhile, and the humble minister is willing to go through fire and water for the empress!"

Zhu Chengbi looked at the tent of Baifu Tuanjin and was lost in thought: "This is the end of the matter, but it's only half done. Don't be in a hurry. Just keep it in mind."

Seeing the two people replying respectfully, Zhu Chengbi asked again in a deep voice: "How is Concubine Migui now?"

Physician Liang froze when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "I'm still in a daze, groggy all day long, I wake up thinking about my child, I heard that a few days ago I even went crazy in the Lanlin Palace with an embroidered pillow..." Imperial Physician Liang glanced at Zhu Chengbiruo With a thoughtful look, he said in a low voice, "From now on, I'm afraid it's going to get better."

Zhu Chengbi nodded: "She has been stimulated several times, Zhu Xi, you are doing very well."

Zhu Xi pursed his lips and smiled: "In order to completely cut off the queen's back, and to prevent the queen from having a chance to make a comeback, this is the only way to do it right now. The servant girl asked someone to pass on the scene of Concubine Yangui's mother and child being favored and went to Lanzhou Lin Dian, Concubine Migui's heart must be twisted like a knife, and every minute is suffering." Zhu Xi paused slightly, and a secret smile covered her icy face, "What's more, Concubine Migui woke up after a small childbirth. When it came, it was the day when Concubine Yangui was diagnosed to be pregnant, so could it be that Concubine Yangui's child beat Concubine Migui's child? Thinking about it, I'm afraid it's unbearable."

Zhu Chengbi only felt tired, and waved his hand and said: "My concubine Migui has been under confinement for three months and has not been lifted. It has been almost four months now, and the guards must be tired. I will inform Sun Chuanzong and ask him to come back in ten days. Get ready."

Zhu Xi bent his knees and replied: "I'm sorry, servant girl, after ten days, the empress will wait and see the good show."
