Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

Chapter 56 Conferring the Princess Jerusalem Artichoke Poison

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Lin Hai, the Duke of Dingguo, is honest and upright, and he is my important minister and good minister. Today, I am an orphan girl, beautiful and intelligent, with a dignified manner. However, the position of Dingguo has already been appointed as the prince, and this decree is hereby issued: canonization Lin's Daiyu is the owner of Yundai County, and she bestows court clothes and Di crowns on each of them."

After the father-in-law announced the decree, he ordered the maid beside him to come forward to help Daiyu, then put the bright and yellow decree in Daiyu's hands, and said: "My slave congratulates the princess."

Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Dai." Then she looked at Chunxian, Chunxian nodded, and rewarded the eunuch Xuanzhi with the silver taels on the red sandalwood tray for the magpie's arrival, and he was so happy that the eunuch smiled. , More and more compliments continued.

After finally seeing off the father-in-law Xuanzhi, Chunxian helped Daiyu walk into the house, and looked at the court clothes and Di crowns on the kang by the window. Eyes are straight.

Daiyu stared at the court dress Di Guan, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go out first." Chunxian and Xueyan looked at each other, then nodded, and retreated holding the rewarded silk and pearl jewelry .

The white snow outside the window had stopped at some point, looking forward to the white snow outside the window with no trace in his eyes, he seemed to be looking forward to it.

"What is Dai'er looking at?" A watery voice came from behind, Daiyu suddenly turned her head and said, "Where did you come in?" Just now she was clearly looking at the door outside the window, why did he come in quietly?

Shui Rong stared at Daiyu softly with a smile in his eyes, rubbed her lightly tied hair bun, saw Daiyu's doubts, and said with a smile: "I just came in through the side door, don't you think you can see everything in all directions?" Arrived?"

Daiyu looked a little embarrassed, she slapped his hand away, and said: "Don't rub my hair." Shui Rong laughed out loud when he heard it, held her blue hair in his hand, and embraced her in his arms, Said: "Whoever combed your hair made you be so careful, no matter, if it falls apart, I will comb it with you later."

Daiyu took a look at him and said: "It's not because of this, but it's just sitting there for more than an hour before letting Chunxian fix it. I just received the imperial decree, and it's a pity to let you break it up like this?"

While talking, he sat up straight, looked at Shui Rong and said, "You're evading the seriousness and ignoring my words, saying, why did the emperor suddenly make this decree to be the princess?"

Shui Rong bowed his head and kissed her pretendingly indifferent face, then smiled lightly and said, "You clever little head, why do you think about it? Why do you want me to tell you?"

Daiyu glanced at him, snorted, escaped from Shui Rong's embrace, and said: "You came to test me, and it's none of my business. I won the position of princess for nothing. You lose What, why should I care?"

"Duplicity." He grabbed Daiyu and sat on his lap, bit her white and tender fingers, and heard Daiyu cry out in pain, before saying: "I'm hungry."

Daiyu held her little hands with her delicate face, stared at Shui Rong, and said: "You are a dignified Prince of Beijing Jing, don't you have a place to eat? You came here to bully me, so tell me quickly, otherwise you won't be able to eat." your food."

With a playful smile in his eyes, he held his heart and murmured in a low voice: "Dai'er, you abused your brother Rong, don't you feel bad?"

Daiyu blushed, stood up and stared at Shui Rong, and said, "If you look like this again, I'll call Chunxian in and drive you out, and I won't take you to bully people like this." I want to turn around and leave.

Shui Rong looked at her embarrassing face with a funny face, took Daiyu's hand and still sat on the kang, looked at her beautiful eyes and pretty face, and said, "Are you really angry?" Daiyu just turned around and ignored him , turned around, twisted the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and said: "You are saying this out of anger. You just don't tell me about such things."

Shui Rong sighed softly, embraced her delicate body, leaned his chin against her black hair, and intoxicated him more and more with the faint fragrance from the tip of his nose, sighed: "You understand so well, what else does a person not know?" ? That's just a bait the emperor gave me."

"Bait?" Dai Yu frowned and looked at Shui Rong, what kind of bait?Is there any use for the position of princess?

Shui Rong scratched her little nose, and said: "You don't have to think too much, I will take care of this matter, and let you seal the princess, which also has the meaning of the queen mother, just don't worry, it may be a good thing." What about the turnaround?"

turnaround?His eyes were like waves shining under the sun, he thought about it again, and sighed lightly, hearing the meaning of Shui Rong's words, it was not that simple, so he gently stroked the crease between his brows with his slender hands, and sighed softly: "You don't have to be like this. I have the imperial edict of independent marriage in my hand, so you just need to rest assured."

Shui Rong looked at her serious face and smiled heartily, and sighed: "I just don't trust you, so you little bastard did something to me, I think my whole life will be planted by you little bastard in hand."

Daiyu felt her eyes heat up, and guilt surged in her heart, and she gently lay in his arms, her trembling shoulders made Shui Rong's heart ache even more, she patted her slender shoulders unconsciously, and sighed with a smile: "Why are you crying? If you feel guilty towards me, then quickly agree to marry me, and when you are by my side, can I still do this?"

The joking words were very serious, Daiyu blushed when she heard it, and gave him a light thump, but she couldn't bear to say a word when she looked at his eyes as deep as the sea.

Daiyu looked at him for a long while, then got up and smiled, "I'll go to the kitchen to get you some food, you can rest here for a while." Shui Rong nodded, watched Daiyu leave before rubbing the center of her brows, A cold and stern look flashed between his brows.

What was the idea behind conferring Daiyu the Princess, if it was said that the Empress Dowager had no selfish intentions to help Shui Han, he wouldn't believe a single word, he rubbed his eyebrows unconsciously, feeling more and more chaotic in the current situation, looking at the direction of Daiyu's departure, It took a long time before he sighed.

No matter who or what kind of person is on Daiyu's head, there will be a day when he will take revenge. Daiyu is a lovely person in his arms, how can they allow them to continue to calculate.

The eyes that suddenly opened were bright, remembering that when Jia's mother came to the door a few days ago, she didn't feel the murderous intent, and smiled coldly. Fortunately, they are still struggling to die, and the Jia's strength is probably enough.

Shui Rong looked at Chun Xian who was standing quietly outside the curtain, and said calmly, "I want you to find out the reason for that old lady Jia's visit the day before yesterday, and who reported the news."

Chunxian was startled when she heard this, and knelt down unconsciously, thinking that Jia Mu's visit was just a rumor in the palace, but now hearing Shui Rong's talk, she just felt it was wrong, before she opened her mouth, she heard Shui Rong's cold voice Come on, "Do you really think that such a thing is so simple? If there is no definite news for an old fox-like person like Mrs. Jia, will she come over?"

Chunxian was even more startled and broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly kowtowed and said: "It's the servant who has neglected his duty, please forgive me." Shui Rong waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you go." Then Chunxian answered and turned to the side door and go.

Daiyu woke up early in the morning, but her bones were a little heavy. She wanted to go to the palace to thank the Empress Dowager for her kindness, but she felt very weak, so she called softly, "Chunxian"

Chunxian was outside taking care of the things Daiyu needed to get up in the morning. Hearing Daiyu's call, she hurried forward and said with a smile on her face, "Miss, are you up?" I was startled by the heat in my palm.

Busily covering her snowy forehead, her face was as pale as paper, and she said in shock, "Why is it so hot?" Xueyan and Xiaowu Xiaoqing were outside, hearing Chunxian's words, they also hurried in. Daiyu's red face turned pale with shock.

Putting her hand on Daiyu's pulse, she felt her wrist was hot, the pulse fluctuated quickly and slowly, Daiyu felt as if something was pressing on her chest, and even her breathing became very difficult, she unconsciously said in a low voice: "Snow geese. "The dazed mind seemed to be trapped in the scorching heat, the heat was uncontrollable all over, and there was no bluish white color on the clear and moist face.

Seeing this, Chunxian hurriedly turned around and said, "Xueyan, get my Yuxin Pill, hurry up."

After hearing Chunxian's words, Xueyan gained confidence in her flustered heart, and hurried to the outside on Chunxian's bed, took the pill, crushed the pill finely, and helped Daiyu to stand up with clear water. Make her drink the pill.

Daiyu felt a cool air coming in from her mouth in the heat, but she greedily wanted to absorb more, and after a while she took the Yuxin Pill, and she felt better at this moment.

Seeing this, Chunxian breathed a sigh of relief, handed the bowl to Xiaoqing who was at the side, put her hand on Daiyu's pulse, and suddenly got up and said, "Miss, this fever is unusual, you take care of her, I will go back as soon as I go. Seeing Chunxian striding out, Xueyan hurriedly closed the doors and windows, and stood by Daiyu's side.

Lin Butler heard that Daiyu was ill, so he hurriedly invited the doctor, the doctor prescribed some medicine, Xiao Wu decocted the medicine and took it with Daiyu, at the beginning it was able to relieve the burning all over, Feel relieved.

Unexpectedly, as the day went by to the west and Chunxian didn't come back, I became more and more anxious. I didn't realize that I was looking forward to the door, but I still didn't see Chunxian.

Hearing Daiyu's voice in the room, Xueyan hurriedly turned back and entered the room, but saw Daiyu's peaceful sleeping face, now red and hot, she panicked immediately, circling around in a hurry, while changing for Daiyu. With the towel on his forehead, he secretly cursed that quack medicine.

Suddenly remembered something, turned to look at the anxious Xiaoqing, and said anxiously: "Hurry up, hurry up, I remember that in the past few years when the girl had a fever in the capital, the doctor Wang prescribed a prescription, which was the most effective for curing the girl's illness. The one of you two will be the sooner to get the medicine and come back."

Xiaowu saw Xueyan running around in a hurry, and hurried forward and said: "Sister Xueyan, you give me the prescription, I told housekeeper Lin, and went to get the medicine for the girl." Xueyan nodded hurriedly after hearing this, He said: "Come with me." On the bed in the outer room, he took the old prescription and handed it to Xiao Wu, saying: "You go to the cashier to pay the money, go quickly."

Seeing Xiao Wu leave, Xueyan hurriedly returned to Daiyu's side to wait, changing the brocade handkerchief from time to time, chanting Amitabha in her heart anxiously, her anxious eyes fell on the door from time to time, just waiting for Chun Xian or It's the snow geese coming back.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Xue Yan felt relieved, and hurried out of the inner room to lift the curtain, only to see that Chun Xian had rushed back, followed closely by her There are also Shui Rong and two people who look like imperial physicians.

Regardless of so much, Xueyan saw Chunxian's legs limp and choked up, "Sister Chunxian, girl, girl."

After hearing this, Shui Rong couldn't care less, lifted up his clothes, and strode into the house. Seeing Daiyu's complexion as red as a rosy cloud, she became more and more angry, quickly put down the curtain, and said in a deep voice: "Doctor Wang, Imperial Physician Zhao, hurry up and take a look."

Hearing Shui Rong's voice, the two imperial physicians didn't care for so long, they hurried in with the medicine box, and put Daiyu's bare hands on the pillow through layers of curtains, and examined the pulse carefully.

Shui Rong looked anxiously at the Imperial Physician Wang, and couldn't help pacing in the room. The coldness all over his body made the Imperial Physician Wang shiver suddenly. Surprise flashed in his eyes for a long time, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Report to the lord, miss She doesn't have a fever, but looking at her pulse, she seems to be poisoned."

"What did you say?" Shui Rong stepped forward to pick up the lapel of Imperial Doctor Wang with his big hands, stared at him with cold eyes and said, "Say it again, how could you be poisoned?"

Imperial Physician Wang only felt that it was difficult to meet Shui Rong's bloodthirsty eyes at this time, and it was the first time he saw Shui Rong's face in so many years. The big hands clenched around his neck made that Imperial Physician Wang cough lightly, and Imperial Physician Zhao trembled Standing at the side with his body bent, he didn't dare to look at Shui Rong.

"Brother Rong." Daiyu's weak voice came from inside the curtain, Shui Rong casually threw the imperial doctor Wang aside, hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in, seeing Daiyu's pale and jade-like face, he embraced her unconsciously. In her arms, she called softly: "Dai'er."

Seeing Daiyu's seemingly unconscious lips, Shui Rong became more and more anxious, so he put down Daiyu lightly, stepped out of the curtain, stared at Imperial Physician Wang coldly, and said: "Doctor Wang, you are an old man in the palace, do you know , if Princess Yundai has something wrong, then you should ask me, my lord."

At this moment, Imperial Physician Wang felt that he had lost his life, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "My lord, please calm down, what the old minister said is true, Princess Yundai was really poisoned, and the old minister did not lie."

Shui Rong closed his eyes and sighed deeply, and said, "Forget it, you should get up first, just explain what you have diagnosed."

Physician Wang swallowed, with cold sweat running down his old face, and said: "Princess Yundai's pulse fluctuates quickly and slowly, although it looks like a normal fever, if you don't check it carefully, you will just take a cold The medicine is suppressed, I'm afraid that the toxin will stay in the body of the princess, if it happens again in the future, I'm afraid the body of the princess."

Seeing Shui Rong's jaw tightening more and more, Wang Taiyi stopped silently. This is the second time he has seen this kind of toxin in his life, but this time it seems to be lighter than that time.

Shui Rong crushed the tea bowl in his hand unconsciously, but the pain in his hand didn't reach his heart at all, he just looked at the imperial physician coldly, and said: "Go on."

"This kind of poisonous old minister has only seen it once in his life. This is the second time for the princess. That time was 20 years ago. What was needed at that time was the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the palace and the thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotus, which were refined by fusing the winter white snow. The Lingxue Pill is the only way to curb the derivation of toxins."

Shui Ronghuo stood up and said: "You stay here and don't leave a single step. My king will enter the palace and return in a while." Before the words were finished, Shui Rong had disappeared.Seeing Shui Rong's figure submerged in the snow, the two imperial physicians breathed a sigh of relief just now, and the imperial physician Wang couldn't even stand upright and fell to the ground.

Chunxian and Xueyan didn't care about so much at this time, they hurried forward to help the imperial doctor get up, the imperial doctor Wang recovered after a while, looked at Chunxian and Xueyan with old eyes, and said: "I'm the doctor. Looking at the pulse of the princess just now, what kind of medicine have you used with her?"

Xueyan heard this, and hurriedly said: "When Sister Chunxian went out, Uncle Lin invited the doctor over and gave the girl some wind-cold medicine. She was better at first, but she woke up again at night."

Imperial Physician Wang looked outside the door, and said at this moment: "Fortunately, the princess doesn't use much, otherwise, the toxin will really stay in her body." He looked at Imperial Physician Zhao beside him, and said, "Hurry up." Take out the needle and use it for disinfection, the princess’s fingertips have turned blue, hurry up and let the toxin flow out along the fingertips.”

"Fingertips?" Chunxian cried out in surprise, it was the common saying that ten fingers connect to the heart, what a pain, she said unconsciously, "Is this the only way?"

Imperial Physician Wang got up and had already sorted out the acupuncture and moxibustion items with Imperial Physician Zhao, and said, "If not, I'm afraid that Lingxue Pill can only cure most of it, and the subsequent danger will remain in the body."

Shui Rong rode a horse all the way through the snow until he reached the gate of the imperial palace, handed over the horse to the guards at the side, and flew towards the imperial study.

Seeing that the light in the imperial study room was still on, Shui Rong walked in quickly and said, "I have seen the emperor." Seeing Shui Rong coming at this time, his panicked expression was rare to see, Shui Rong frowned unconsciously and said, "Rong What are you in such a hurry for?"

Shui Rong didn't hesitate after hearing this, and directly raised his head and said, "I heard that there are thousand-year-old snow lotus and thousand-year Ganoderma lucidum in the palace, can the emperor give them to Weichen?" That look seemed to indicate that if Shui Chen didn't let him With him, he will go to the palace to insist on taking it.

Shui Chen put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Shui Rong with folded hands, smiled, and said, "But what's the matter with Princess Yundai?" Shui Rong frowned and looked at the smile on Shui Chen's face. His face turned cold, and he said: "Physician Wang said that Yun Dai was poisoned, and that someone had also been poisoned 20 years ago. It was made with the Lingxue Pill cultivated by the thousand-year-old snow lotus and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the palace. rule."

After hearing this, Shui Chen was also surprised, turned to look at Shui Rong and smiled, "Do you know who Wang Taiyi is talking about?" Chen spoke solemnly, and unconsciously tightened his eyebrows, waiting for Shui Chen's next words, but Shui Chen seemed to be deep in thought about the past, and Shui Rong couldn't be urged.

Shui Chen looked at Shui Rong, stroked the gaiwan tea in his hand, and the green tea leaves floating on it, sighed softly: "The one who was poisoned by this Jerusalem artichoke 20 years ago was Lin Ruhai's wife, the mother of Princess Yundai."

It's Daiyu's mother, Jia Min from Jia's mansion.At this time, Shui Rong became more and more puzzled, and it was difficult to understand why it was the same poison planted by their mother and daughter for 20 years. If it was good, Jia Min was poisoned by this poison 20 years ago. Yu Yi has never left the medicine since he was a child, and he frowned more and more.

No, Shui Rong suddenly looked at Shui Chen, only to see Shui Chen nodded, Shui Rong's heart became more and more angry, I'm afraid Jia Min and Daiyu were poisoned by not only the same kind of poison, but most likely the same poison The poison that I put down, I felt more and more hatred and anger in my heart, and I almost couldn't suppress the anger.

Shui Chen looked at Shui Rong's instantly clear face, and then sighed softly: "I'm afraid you already have some concerns in your heart at this time, you can go directly to the imperial pharmacy to get it, I have ordered someone to wait there." Shui Rong knelt on one knee He said goodbye to Shui Chen, "Wait a minute." Shui Chen suddenly called Shui Rong who was about to leave.

Shui Rong turned around and said, "I don't know what else the emperor ordered?" With a flat face, it was because of his clenched palms that he felt his urgency and tension.

"I saved the lives of Princess Yundai's mother and daughter, what do you have to say?" Shui Rong looked at Shui Chen lightly, and lowered his head, "Although the crown prince is the crown prince of a country, in the heart of this humble official , but he is still the younger brother of this official, so this official will naturally protect him well."

After hearing this, Shui Chen stroked his beard in satisfaction, looked at the reluctance on Shui Rong's face, and said: "Go, your words are enough, when Princess Yundai recovers from illness, Then I will arrange the marriage between the two of you."

"Dexi, tell me, if this Prince of Beijing Jing is my son, do you think I still need to work so hard to pave these roads for him?" Jue murmured.

Liu Dexi, who had been accompanying Shui Chen all this time, stood there holding the floating dust in his hand, and said: "The crown prince is not as old as the prince of Beijing, and many things are not as thoughtful as he thinks. In the future, with the prince of Beijing by his side, the prince can do it if he wants to." It's smooth sailing." Shui Chen shook his head and didn't speak again.

Even though Shui Rong was brought to Shui Han's side, I'm afraid that Shui Han's fate may not be good in the future, those people who are eyeing him are watching, and they are afraid that even the slightest mistake can be picked out by them.

Unconsciously, he lowered his head and rubbed the center of his brows, looking at the appearance of Shui Rong, he was really moved by that Yun Dai, let him marry that Yun Dai, it would also calm down those people in the court who were about to move around, and then they could Supporting Shui Han wholeheartedly, even if he is a hundred years old, he should be relieved.

Walking to the side of the imperial case with his hands behind his back, looking at the two portraits hanging behind the curtain, he couldn't help but burst into a tearful smile. It's time for him to meet Yun Dai who made Shui Rong so fascinated, right? What about the alluring country and city like her mother?

What Shui Rong always wanted was the rich and idle king. He didn't want to cause too many things, but some things couldn't be solved by him staying out of the way, and he still had to face them after all.

The night outside the window is getting darker, and the snowflakes are falling more and more beautiful, and the white snow adds a bit of brightness to the night in the middle of winter.
