[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

Jiang Ling thought of the rumors that had just spread into the palace, saying that this child was a wild... There was a hint of sternness in his eyes.

Speaking of this, Li Wan suddenly smiled again, and sighed: "But how many people will believe the rumors that spread into the palace. If others don't believe it, it's just more talk out of thin air. Now the second master Bao The limelight is in full swing, Second Grandma Bao and Second Grandma Lian are housekeepers together. Although the second wife is under house arrest in the yard, one is her daughter-in-law and the other is her niece. Who in the whole family dare not look at it? The face of the second wife. Brother Lang is still young, and I don't want him to get in touch with these things too early. Besides, the second master Lian and the elder Xi just broke face with the second wife, and they are still making trouble. "

Jiang Ling slowly turned the teacup in his hand, thinking over Li Wan's words and the rumors that were going around outside the palace over and over in his heart, trying to sort out a clear clue.

It's been a long time since Li Wan spoke freely, or maybe it was because he was in the dream, he seemed to have no scruples.Just complained that Mrs. Wang favored Jia Baoyu, and said with some emotion: "If two or three years ago, when the second girl and Lin girl were still in the mansion, it really wouldn't be like this. But now the second girl is married far away. , Miss Lin became the princess of Beijing, and Miss Baochai married the second master Bao, which is considered to be a "golden marriage". Seeing that the third and fourth girls are going to discuss marriage, the second wife took the imperial order, The maids in the mansion were dispatched, dismissed, and expelled, but there were only a few old mothers and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, and two accountants and housekeepers, who were struggling to support them. I really like to be a director, and I don't even manage the affairs of the second master Lian. Let me see, in two years, this mansion will rely on the three of them to survive."

Seeing that the tea in front of him was getting cold, Li Wan said again: "Just add water."

Jiang Ling came back to his senses, raised the tall teapot again, and poured boiling water into the cup.The thin water line fell on the water surface, and ripples once again swayed.Jiang Ling filled the teacup with water, and asked again: "Then how many caring people know these things?"

Li Wan shook his head and said, "There are very few."

Jiang Ling was silent for a while, and silently made up an idea in his heart.

Seeing her expression, Li Wan laughed again: "It's been a long time since I've seen such a girl full of righteous indignation. Speaking of which, since Miss Shi left the Grand View Garden, this mansion has become more decadent and extravagant day by day. , even the days are coming to an end. Girl, what's your name?"

Jiang Ling picked up a random name: "Yangliu."

"Oh, Yangliu." Li Wan repeated, laughing, "Good name."

Jiang Ling exchanged pleasantries with her for a while, then took a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.It wasn't until it was estimated that the time was almost up that he lightly tapped the rim of the cup with two fingers.The scene in the dream changed in an instant, and Li Wan was also sent out of the dream.

A strong fragrance overflowed from Jiang Ling's fingertips, centered on the position where Li Wan was standing just now, and spread around.For a moment, the entire Rongguo Mansion, together with the entire surrounding streets, and even a few nearby alleys, were enveloped in this burst of fragrance.I don't know how many people went out and came in in the dream, and Jiang Ling repeatedly asked if they had heard the rumors about Concubine Yun in the palace.Slowly, dozens of people were left in the dream, walking around in panic.

It was dark in the dream, with dark lead clouds pressing down on the ground, and the fallen leaves drifting away in the breeze, as if it was about to rain.

Jiang Ling stood at the highest point of the dream, raised his finger and tapped lightly, dozens of crackling electric lights appeared in an instant, swimming like snakes among the lead clouds, and thunder rumbled in the dream.In the turbulent dark clouds, a ferocious giant beast could be faintly seen churning in the clouds, roaring lowly towards them.

At that moment, there was only fear left in everyone's heart, and there was nothing else left.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes, flicked his fingertips one after another, and a more intense fragrance spread between the heaven and the earth, bit by bit erasing their memories just now, only the instinctive sense of fear remained.From now on, whenever they think of that rumor, they will feel a kind of fear spontaneously in their hearts, wishing to slap themselves twice in order to wake themselves up.

In this way, rumors spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and fear will eventually spread along with the rumors.

Although rumors are limited to wise men, deterrence is the best rule when wise men are scarce.

After Jiang Ling finished all this, he flicked his fingertips a few more times, and ejected those sluggish crowd out of the dreamland one by one.

ended.

Jiang Ling opened his eyes wearily, but the candle shadows in the remaining room were dim.

Just now she excused herself to be lethargic, and took a rest as soon as she got back to the house.Now look at the leak in the corner of the wall, but the pattering ground has just passed the time of Haishi.A dim blue lamp was lit in the room, and Kangxi sat under the lamp, reviewing the reports sent from nowhere.Seeing Jiang Ling waking up, Kangxi put down the booklet and asked with a smile, "Did I wake you up?"

Jiang Ling shook his head, bouts of burnout swept over him, and there was a dull pain in his mind.

From the looks of it, it should be the storm that was created just now, which overdrawn her energy.

Kangxi walked up to Jiang Ling, bent down, covered her forehead with his palm, and tried her body temperature.Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, his mind was heavy, and he blurted out: "Why did the emperor come here?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she added: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year...the second day of the Lunar New Year."

The watch gradually passed the mark of midnight, and it was obviously already late at night.

Kangxi smiled gently, held Jiang Ling in his arms, stroked her forehead lightly, and asked her: "Is it still uncomfortable? I just heard from the imperial physicians that you had a bad appetite during the dinner party. Good." As soon as he got back to the house, he took a rest.

Leaning in his arms, Jiang Ling said in a daze, "It's okay."

Kangxi was still wearing the dragon robe worn by the ministers during the pilgrimage during the day, with a faint scent of ambergris on it. Jiang Ling smelled the scent and unconsciously felt a little tired again.She raised her eyes to look at Kangxi, and asked dimly, "Why isn't the emperor still asleep? It's already the second day." If we say that last night was for vigil, but today there is no reason.

A pair of misty eyes looked at him, and unconsciously, Kangxi's heart moved slightly.

He hugged Jiang Ling in his arms, carefully tucked her quilt, and said with a smile, "I'm not busy, I have some things to deal with. If I don't handle those things properly, I won't be able to sleep." Then Lowering his head, he kissed Jiang Ling's brow lightly, and his tone became more and more gentle, "Just now you woke up suddenly, but did you have a nightmare?"

Jiang Ling closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Yes, a nightmare, a pretty terrible nightmare.

Kangxi sighed deeply: "Sure enough." He gently put Jiang Ling back on the bed.Jiang Ling opened his eyes and looked at him, but his eyes were still cloudy, with a hint of worry.Kangxi bent down, kissed her eyes, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

Jiang Ling said vaguely: "The night is already deep." Then, like the previous few times, she held Kangxi's slightly cold palms in her palms and warmed his fingers one by one.

Kangxi let her mess around, sat quietly with her for a while, and then gently patted her back through the quilt.One by one, the movements are quite gentle.Jiang Ling murmured in a daze, and could not open his eyes.Suddenly, I heard someone whisper in my ear: "Go to sleep, I will watch over you." Then there was another kiss as soft as a feather.

At that moment, Jiang Ling seemed to be immersed in a lake, rising and falling with the waves, forgetting where he was.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ling woke up from a deep sleep.Her sleep is quite light, and even though she has been lethargic recently, she still wakes up several times in the middle of the night.Looking around, all the lamps and candles in the room have been extinguished, and it is a dark night outside, occasionally some sporadic glimmers can be seen.Jiang Ling shifted his gaze to the window in the corner again, it was already Yin Shi.

The man beside him breathed steadily, and his chest rose and fell with his breath, apparently in a deep sleep.

But even in his sleep, he still held her waist, but carefully avoided the place where the child was.

Jiang Ling lay in his arms, thought for a while, and couldn't help sighing again.What Li Wan said just now is still in my ears, no matter what the purpose of those people is, the child in my womb has already fallen into the eyes of those who want to, and has been coveted by others.Before the child was born, as a mother, she should be fully prepared.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ling fell asleep again in a daze.

When he woke up the next day, Kangxi had already left, and the maids were standing in front of him with copper basins, ready to help Jiang Ling wash up.Jiang Ling slowly got up from the bed, waited for the maids to change their clothes and got up, and ate some warm porridge before sending the imperial physician to come in for a routine consultation.

Since she was pregnant, she has had routine consultations three times a day without interruption.

Leaning on the soft pillow, Jiang Ling looked at the two imperial physicians who came in, a man and a woman, both in their 50s and [-]s, and couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.If it was that doctor Wang who came today, she still doesn't know how much effort she would have to take to remove herself.

After the pulse diagnosis, Jiang Ling leaned on the soft pillow and squinted for a while, then asked in a daze: "Today and tomorrow, is there any pilgrimage, palace banquet, greetings, entertainment, etc.?" Can't go out in Changchun Palace.

A female official flipped through the post and said: "There will be a palace banquet tomorrow. But today, there will be no."

Jiang Ling nodded and hummed softly.

For some reason, Li Wan's words last night were churning in her mind, lingering for a long time.She thought for a while, then picked a suitable angle and asked: "In the future, the place where I will give birth will be in this Changchun Palace, or somewhere else?"

The female officer smiled and said, "Of course it's in Changchun Palace."

Jiang Ling's expression eased a little, and he asked again, "What about Mrs. Wen?"

The female officer hesitated for a while before asking: "The royal family has royal women. Generally, you don't need to go outside to find them. One accidentally contracted smallpox, and the other died of illness. The remaining three family members all died of illness within half a month. Therefore, the empress dowager at that time, the present empress dowager, went to the palace to guard herself, and found another Only two stable wives from the people who are clean and trustworthy have not caused a catastrophe."

But this example is already quite extreme.

Jiang Ling thought for a while, then asked slowly: "Then these steady women..."

She wanted to ask these stable women whether it was possible for them to be bribed, but after thinking about it again, it was not appropriate to ask this question by herself, so she skipped it.

After waiting for about half an hour, Jiang Ling excused himself to be tired, sent all the female officials and maids out, called his cronies and nuns to come in, and lowered his voice and said: "Now I have two things to do. , what I want you to do."

"The first thing is to tell the nuns outside the palace to go to the streets, alleys, and alleys around Rongguo Mansion to see if there are any rumors about me. Tell me. Don't act rashly, and don't startle the snake. If anyone asks, make excuses, such as 'short-sightedness, I want to know how the ladies live in the palace', and ask about other people's affairs as a way Cover up. Of course, it is best not to let others notice."

"The second thing is to go outside to inquire about who is the royal lady-in-law. When I give birth in the future, which lady-in-law will enter the Changchun Palace and which one will be on standby outside the palace. Their Husbands and children, nephews and nieces, nephews and even grandchildren, there are people who are gambling, in debt, and guilty. To put it bluntly, is there anyone who may manipulate me when I give birth, cooperate with some people, Putting me in the labor period... Do you know if there is any way to make the pregnant woman bleed profusely when she is about to give birth, so that both the mother and the child are uneasy, and only one can be kept?"

The faces of the nuns suddenly changed.

After a long time, a nun asked, "Master, why...why did you say such a thing?"
