[Qing Chuan] I became the queen mother after salted fish

It was noon when the news came through, Si Ning had just had a bite of the dish when Qing Jin hurried in to report the letter.

"The imperial doctor has already passed, I heard that he just entered the delivery room." Qing Jin whispered.

Si Ning put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, nodded: "It's about time."

Qing Jin hesitated to speak, Si Ning said with a concentrated expression: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Qing Jin sighed, and said in a low voice: "The servant heard that it seems that the nobleman was shocked by something, and that's why he suddenly wanted to give birth."

Si Ning's expression suddenly became serious: "Do you know what frightened you?"

"There is no accurate news yet, but there are rumors that it is related to the empress."

Si Ning's face became more and more serious, why is it related to the Queen?No matter how stupid the queen is, she will not harm Rugui, after all, Rugui was supported by her alone.

Si Ning couldn't figure out the reason here, so he could only tell Qing Jin: "Keep watching over there and see what's going on."

Qing Jin complied, and then left, while Si Ning continued to eat with chopsticks. In this palace, the trees really want to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing.

……

At this moment, the Queen was also very frightened, she was lying on the couch, Calamus helped her breathe, and Liu Xu went to pour her a cup of tea.

The queen took a sip of tea, her complexion looked better now, she gritted her teeth and said, "Go and see if there is anything strange on the ground where I just fell, I always feel that something is wrong, I have walked on that road for hundreds of years before. Eighty times, there is no reason to suddenly slip and fall today, and it happens to be in front of me like a nobleman."

Calamus said from the side: "Your Majesty, the slave looked at it at that time, there is nothing on the ground."

The queen is a little annoyed, doesn't that mean that this has become her responsibility.

She didn't give up, and continued: "Go and have a look again, look carefully, and don't let go of anything inappropriate."

Calamus felt bitter, but still complied.

The queen eased her panic, and began to think about what happened just now.

She just saw that the sun was shining outside, so she wanted to go out for a walk, but she happened to meet Ru noble who also came out together, and the two of them walked in the yard together, but unexpectedly she slipped on the sole of her foot, and by the way returned Rugui, who was brought aside, turned out to make Rugui popular on the spot, and she herself was terribly frightened.

Although she didn't do it on purpose, you don't have a personal certificate for this kind of thing, so it will make people think too much.

The queen gritted her teeth angrily, why is it so small!Was her luck really that bad?

No, this matter must not fall on her head. If she really did not stand firm, then she would not be able to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River. Not to mention that the nobleman would have a rift with her, the emperor would probably hate her even more Well, like this, how can she stand firm in the harem!

The queen thought about it and felt that someone must be blamed for this matter.

As for the best candidates, one is An Changzai who lives in Chuxiu Palace, and the other is Yungui who often comes to Chuxiu Palace to look like a noble person.

Whichever of the two it was, she had to solve her current predicament this morning.

The empress seemed to be thinking about these things in her head, and the voice of the nobleman shouting outside was getting louder and louder. The empress was very irritable. Big trouble.

……

For example, the nobleman didn't give birth to a child until xu o'clock in the afternoon. It was a girl, and she was the eighth daughter of the emperor.

When the queen heard the news that the mother and daughter were safe, she was really relieved, but when she heard that the little princess looked weak, she raised her heart again.

The reward came soon from Jiaqing, and the queen hurried to visit her in Rugui's room to show her concern.

If the nobleman had already passed out, the queen sat on the side of the couch, hugged the little princess for a few glances, and sighed, she looked very thin, and she didn't know if she could support her.

But fortunately, Ping An was born, and her guilt was reduced by three points.

The queen put down the child, and carefully instructed the maids who served in front of the nobleman to serve the nobleman well, and then walked out of the nobleman's room.

The wind outside was still a bit cold, Calamus supported the queen, but felt that the queen's steps today were a little unsteady.

She also knew what the queen's knot was, but it was a pity that no one could do anything about it.

Soon they returned to the main hall, and the queen asked Changpu again about the road they were walking on today.

Calamus knew that the queen was crazy and wanted to find an excuse to exonerate herself, but she didn't dare to make this matter out of nothing, so she shook her head and said that she didn't find anything wrong with it.

The queen was so angry that her heart ached, she leaned on the couch: "It's really useless, I can't find anything on the road, so go and see my pair of shoes, the road is so remote, maybe it's because of the moss , which made me slip."

Calamus bit his lip, and said in a low voice, "The road was only cleaned this morning, there is no moss at all, and there is nothing else on your shoes."

The queen was even angrier. She looked at the calamus a little unpleasantly now, but after thinking about it, she held back her breath and said in a deep voice: "Then someone sprinkled water on the ground? But someone put a smoothie on the ground?" Pebbles? Has anyone else been to Chuxiu Palace today?"

Calamus saw what the queen meant, and whispered: "Your Majesty, when the slave went to see that place, the people in front of the nobleman also followed. There was really nothing, and no one came here today, even An Changzai. No, she went to talk in Jipin Palace."

The queen simply felt that the sky was going to kill her. Is there really such a thing?

At this moment, Liu Xu on the side suddenly said: "Who said that no one came, the servant in front of Mrs. Yun just came once today, and gave Mrs. Ru a candied fruit made by Mrs. Yun, saying that she wanted her to suppress it." It's a happy reaction."

The queen's eyes lit up: "Is it really the person in front of Mrs. Yun?"

Liu Xu nodded: "This servant can see clearly, and she is also the lady in front of Lady Yun, she is also from the same town as a young lady in our courtyard, and the two of them talked for a long time under the wall."

The queen immediately felt that she was saved, sent the calamus down, and said something to Liu Xu secretly, but when she talked about the day's events with the sober Rugui the next day, the queen seemed to have a plan in mind.

Sitting in front of the nobleman's couch, she pulled the nobleman who was crying all the time, and said with red eyes: "Yesterday, I asked the person in front of me to watch it, and I also asked the lady in front of you to go and watch it together." Once, a small piece of the ground was smeared with oil. I didn’t stand firm, and I hurt you. My heart is restless all day and night. It’s thanks to you that you are okay, otherwise I would have no face. meet you."

The nobleman burst into tears: "The concubine is fine, but the little princess is born so weak, the concubine feels even more uncomfortable."

Hearing these words, the queen could hear a trace of dissatisfaction from the nobleman, and she sighed in her heart. After all, their relationship was cast a shadow, but now she didn't care about anything else, the queen could only try her best to get rid of the relationship.

"Don't worry, I will make the decision for you in this matter, find out who did these bad things, and prevent you and the eighth princess from suffering in vain."

The nobleman covered his face, and finally lowered his head: "My concubine, I would like to thank the empress for her kindness."

The queen pulled nobleman Ru up, and said softly: "My good sister, you must take good care of yourself these few days, don't worry about anything else, I will definitely avenge you."

For example, the nobleman just nodded with tears in his eyes, and didn't look up at the queen, nor did he say a word.

Afterwards, the queen comforted Mr. Ru with a few more words, and then she came out of Mr. Ru's room.

She went back to the room with a sad face, and then she let go of the expression on her face, and frowned instead. She felt a little complicated in her heart, and she could see that the nobleman didn't believe her, maybe she hated her in her heart. Not necessarily, but she is also innocent in this kind of thing. What happened that day was really an accident.

I can only make up for her slowly in the future, the queen thought to herself.

……

Si Ning also heard the news in Yikun Palace at this time, and knew that it was indeed the empress who pushed Rugui, but it was because someone put oil on the ground, which made the empress lose her footing and slipped all of a sudden.Si Ning couldn't help but sigh, what kind of luck is this, how did it happen like this.

And this kind of thing, although it was reported for this reason, but what is going on, and how many people can believe this explanation?

Si Ning herself couldn't believe it, let alone other people.

But Si Ning believes that since the Queen can release this news, it means that she has made complete preparations and must have a set of evidence that can win people's trust, so this matter is probably handled in this way.

Si Ning sighed, and didn't know who was picked out this time.

Just when Si Ning was about to watch the empress show her might, news suddenly came from Chuxiu Palace that the empress was ill.

The cause of the disease was excessive fright, wind evil entered the body, and now I can't get out of bed.

Then the investigation of the follow-up matter of this matter was handed over to Si Ning.

Si Ning deeply felt that this was a hot potato, so she directly rejected the job because of her lack of talent.

The queen gritted her teeth angrily, but she had no choice but to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a group of people to investigate this matter instead of herself, to show justice.

The last person who came forward to investigate was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Jiaqing knew about it, but they didn't even express any objection, and kept silent all the time, as if nothing happened.

Seeing the emperor like this, the queen gained confidence and did not bother others.

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigated very quickly. All the people who entered and exited the Chuxiu Palace that day were found out, and those who were close to the walking path were also screened out. Soon, among these people, one of them was from the Yungui Palace. In the maid's room, a small bottle of oil was found, and upon inspection, it was found to be the same as the queen's shoe soles and what remained on the ground.

When I went to arrest the maid again, the maid had already committed suicide, leaving a suicide note, saying that she was not angry like a nobleman who treated her master Yun noble as a slave, so she sprinkled oil on the place where she often walked. He wanted to teach her a lesson, but he didn't expect it to cause a catastrophe. In the end, he didn't dare to face the punishment, so he could only commit suicide to apologize.

The speed of this investigation was simply dizzying. Before the people in the palace could react, they were already locked in. Before they could recover, the culprit committed suicide.

Now everyone's eyes were focused on Yungui, the master of the palace lady. After all, the palace lady died so well that many people couldn't help but wonder if she killed her to silence her.

This time, the queen who was pushed down like a noble person in the first place was cleaned up. Si Ning had to admire the queen's methods at the moment. Letting others investigate this matter was simply a stroke of genius. On the one hand, he expressed his innocence, On the one hand, it also dragged other people into this muddy water. When someone wants to overturn the case in the future, it is no longer the Queen's business alone. I am afraid that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not agree.

Si Ning watched the drama with a cold eye. Next, it depends on what Jiaqing means.

Jiaqing remained silent, neither dealt with nobleman Yun, nor expressed anything about the result, but gave a lot of things to comfort nobleman Ru, and made her a concubine.

Now everyone is in an uproar, it seems that the emperor is really kind to the nobleman, so pity.

If the nobleman thanked the emperor with tears, it seemed that he was very grateful to the emperor.

The queen went to see Rugui with her sick body, and the two cried with each other. The queen said that she was sorry for Rugui, and Rugui said that it was not the queen's fault, but her own suffering.

It really makes the viewers cry.

Si Ning watched this play, and she really admired it in her heart. Although she is not sure what is the truth now, she has learned some methods of survival in the harem. Everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

……

By the time this drama ended, it was already the end of March. After hosting a simple full moon ceremony for the little princess, the group of them followed Jiaqing to Yuanmingyuan.

The queen's health is much better now, so she came with her. As for the concubine, although she was still a little weak, she also came with her.

And it's worth mentioning that since Rubi became a concubine, she didn't live in Chuxiu Palace, but moved to Zhongcui Palace, which was formerly Concubine Hua's.

When she was leaving, the queen personally sent her out, and Rupin also shed tears on the spot, saying that she couldn't bear to part with the queen, but the emperor's order was hard to break, and the two looked like they were still sisters.

Si Ning was convinced by their acting skills.

Now in Yuanmingyuan, Rupin still lives in Tiandi Family Spring, but the relationship between her and the empress is no longer as close as before.

This was almost visible to the naked eye, and Si Ning felt that everyone in the harem should have felt it.

Concubine Xun gloated and told Si Ning about this matter: "It's really retribution. What was good in the past seemed to be good, but now it ended up like this. The previous incident made me stunned for a while. Looking back now Come to think of it, I'm afraid Yungui is also a scapegoat, and she's so frightened that she fell ill in bed, and she doesn't know when she will recover."

Si Ning also felt uncomfortable when she heard this. Although Jiaqing did not embarrass Mrs. Yun before, Mrs. Yun herself was very frightened by this incident. She was afraid that Rupin would come to retaliate against her. I had a cold, and now I have fallen ill on the couch.

"Let's find an imperial physician to show her some other day. Since the emperor won't pursue the matter, then we can't neglect her." Si Ning said lightly.

Concubine Xun smiled and said yes.

Although Si Ning asked the imperial physician to see a doctor, noble Yun couldn't last long. After the summer, noble Yun's condition became more and more serious, and there was no chance of recovery. On the nineteenth day of the seventh month, noble Yun passed away.

After hearing the news, Si Ning went to her coffin and put incense on her. As for the other concubines in the palace, none of them showed up.

……

When the queen heard the news in the palace, she sneered, "Now I'm pretending to be a good person."

Calamus didn't dare to approach her now, and Liu Xu was now the queen's favorite person, but she didn't talk much, she just poured a cup of tea for the queen.

The queen raised her eyebrows and felt that Liu Xu was a little dull in her heart. She turned her eyes to the calamus with a disturbed face, and curled her lips: "You can also go and offer a stick of incense to Mrs. Yun for me. Death is a big deal, so it's not good to call her that." Gone so quietly."

Calamus was relieved to hear that he finally had an errand, and hurriedly said yes.

After Calamus went out, the queen said to Liu Xu in front of her, "Calamus is just a clever man, but he is not as prudent as you when encountering big things. I am afraid that I can only rely on you in the future. Just let her go outside, you stay by my side, do you understand what I mean?" The queen stared at Liu Xu.

Liu Xu responded and lowered her head.

Ever since He Xiang was dispatched, she was alerted once. After all, He Xiang was always thinking about the Empress Empress before, but she made a wrong decision once and lost her future. This would make anyone feel uneasy. So she changed her impatience before, and became low-key and dare not stand out, even if the newcomer Calamus stepped on her head, she endured it.

Later, because He Xiang had a few words with Rugui, she was run away by Calamus and went to Xinzheku with two or three words. Only then did she finally understand the coldness of the empress, and she also knew the danger of her current situation. If you step back, you will have no way to go, and you may become someone's scapegoat next time.

That's why she took the risk this time. Fortunately, she succeeded, and she must continue to succeed in the future, otherwise she would also be He Xiang's fate.

……

That night when Jiaqing came to Sining Palace for dinner, he started talking about Mrs. Yun. You just went to see Mrs. Yun, you have a heart."

Si Ning pursed her lips and smiled: "The empress also sent someone to watch it, and the concubines dare not monopolize it."

But Jiaqing sneered: "She? I don't know if I'm guilty or not when people offer incense."

Si Ning lowered his head when he heard this, without saying a word.

Jiaqing also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he was silent for a moment, and then he changed the subject and talked about something else as if nothing happened.

Si Ning also agreed, but she sighed in her heart, although the empress has fooled her own fault, but the person who should be fooled has not been fooled.

……

Lady Yun's funeral passed quickly, and the people in the palace continued to live their lives.

Mr. Xin, who was just in the same room with Mr. Yun, suddenly changed his low profile before and started to walk around with the palace people.

And the person she was walking around was neither the new favorite Rupin, nor the queen and imperial concubine, but hugged with Jipin.

Concubine Ji didn't reject her, and the two got to know each other very quickly.

Si Ning watched from the side, thinking that she was probably stimulated by Mrs. Yun Gui, and she might be afraid that such a person died in front of her eyes, and she no longer dared to maintain her aloof personality, so she began to find allies for herself .

And Concubine Ji is just right, she is favored, but she is not so thoughtful, so she is easy to talk.

Si Ning felt that after the beatings in the harem, Mr. Xin was quite discerning, and Concubine Ji was indeed a good candidate.

After entering October, they returned to the Forbidden City again, but this time the atmosphere in the palace was not as relaxed as before.

The eighth princess in front of Rupin is ill.

In fact, the eighth princess was born with serious and minor illnesses. The Zhongcui Palace boiled medicine every day, but this time it was different. This time the eighth princess was really sick.

The imperial physicians seemed to come and go in and out of Zhongcui Palace, but no one could do anything about it.

I heard that Rupin lost weight several times in front of the eighth princess's bed, but it was still useless, and the eighth princess's body was still weakening day by day.

Sometimes Si Ning can hear the cries coming from Zhongcui Palace in a trance, full of despair and unwillingness.

But when he came back to his senses, he realized that Zhongcui Palace was far away from Yikun Palace, and he probably heard it wrong.

At the beginning of November, Wu Linzhu came to the palace, and Si Ning accompanied her to see the eighth princess.

Da Fujin and San Fujin also went with them.

During this period of time, Mrs. Guo in Mianyi Courtyard was pregnant and was a little uneasy. Da Fujin looked a little tired, but Mrs. Zhang Jia of Sanfujin looked ruddy and full of energy. Si Ning knew that she Get along well with Mianchen, Mianchen loves to talk and joke, but he is very good to Zhang Jiashi, and Zhang Jiashi is also careful and thoughtful to Mianchen, the young couple have a good life.

But today when they came to Zhong Cui Palace with sadness, they all put away their smiles, greeted Rupin with a serious face, and said a few words of concern.

Rupin is really thin now and has lost her appearance, her complexion is sallow, she looks at Si Ning, and starts to cry, Si Ning takes her hand to comfort her, she is so crying that she is speechless.

Si Ning patted the back of her hand, and said warmly: "No matter how uncomfortable you are, you must take care of yourself. The eighth princess would never want to see you like this."

Rupin cried, "I'd rather die than her."

Sining couldn't help sighing, and Wu Linzhu's eyes were red as she sat beside her.

Later they went into the room to see the eighth princess, she was a little bit small, with an abnormal blush on her face, shortness of breath, and a cough from time to time.

Sitting on the side of the couch, Rupin sees the Eighth Princess crying more and more, which makes Sining and the others feel even more uncomfortable.

When the people came out after watching, Wu Linzhu couldn't help crying: "How could it be like this, the imperial physician in the palace can't help?"

Si Ning shook his head, this is the root of the injury when he came out of the mother's womb, what can the imperial doctor in the palace do.

Within a few days, Si Ning heard the news of the eighth princess's death, and Jiaqing did not chase after her. The child was buried in such a peaceful manner, and the only thing left was the weeping concubine.

On the day of the funeral, the queen went to Zhongcui Palace to see Rupin in person.

Si Ning thought that there would be an uproar, but there was no result. Rupin entertained the Queen quietly, and the two sat and talked for a while, but soon Rupin couldn't sit still because of excessive mourning, so the Queen left Leaving, Rupin even sent her out the door.

When Si Ning heard the news, she couldn't express what she felt. This matter, from the beginning to the end, was really beyond words.

Si Ning sighed, seeing that it was a new year, and the living still had to move on.
