[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

The next day Xuanwu came to the palace. In fact, Wang Shuo was found to be two months pregnant. His Majesty wanted Wang Shuo to return to the mansion to recuperate.Only in front of the emperor's full confession, said that the empress is seriously ill, so I can rest assured that I have to see it in person.The emperor praised Tu Geng Wang Shuo for his filial piety.

When Xuanwu came, he felt the pulse of Wang Shuo first. Sometimes female doctors are better at dealing with female diseases. Without him, empathy is enough.

After seeing it, Xuanwu let out a long breath and said: "Master is fine, I was a little tired a few days ago, but it's just my lord suffering, so I'm fine." Before Wang Shuo could be surprised, Xuanwu added: "But if we can do this in the future, the first three The month is an unstable time, so we must pay more attention.”

"Look, Xuanwu also said the same thing, you should also pay attention to it, and leave the palace tomorrow." Tu Geng also persuaded from the side.

"I said it as if I didn't feel sorry for the child. I just said that I should be filial, but then I turned around and said that I wanted to leave. This slap in the face~" Wang Shuo said helplessly.

"Let's not be in a hurry, someone will be in a hurry." Tu Geng was confident that he was pregnant before Shengshou, and His Majesty also felt that this child was destined for him.The princes don't want to see such a thing, and soon some ministers will write a letter, talking about the matter with rules and etiquette.

"Hurry up, today Xuanwu and Suzaku will accompany me to attend to my mother's illness." Wang Shuo knew that time was running out, so he didn't play tricks with Tu Geng, so he led his people there immediately.

When I arrived at the queen's bedroom, Baopu was the waiter in front of the bed. The other female officials were not like Baopu, who was sent in by the queen's natal family, and she was not as trusted by the queen. When it comes to things, Baopu is even more legitimate to serve by his side.

"Wang Concubine, why are you here?" Seeing Wang Shuo approaching, Baopu hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Don't worry, Madam, let's take a look." Wang Shuo said with a gentle smile, his words were full of maternal brilliance.

"Wangfei is pregnant, how can she be tired, and there are slaves and servants to take care of her?"

"The Queen's mother respects the world, she is merciful, and treats my prince like a parent and child. If the Queen is sick, how can she not be filial in front of the bed." Wang Shuo lifted the curtain and walked to the bedside as he spoke, and reached out to touch the queen. forehead, and touched the queen's hand.

Bao Pu watched with trepidation. Although he knew that Wang Shuo could not be good at medicine, such skin-to-skin contact still made people suspense.

"Why do you feel your palms are sweating?" Wang Shuo asked with a frown.

Bao Pu couldn't hide his surprise and said: "It's because the servants didn't take good care of them, so I just fetched water to wash my mother."

The queen was dry and not sweating anywhere. Wang Shuo saw that Baopu felt guilty and flustered. He even forgot to check it himself. Go get water to wipe your mother."

Bao Pu wanted to say a few more words, but Wang Shuo had already turned around to tidy the queen's sideburns.

Baopu had no choice but to back down, saying she was fetching water, but she was a female official, and she didn't really have to go to the small kitchen to fetch water by herself, but just directed the maid to pour the hot water into the basin from outside the curtain, mixed it with hot and cold, and then brought it in.Everything is done outside the curtain, and the thin curtain is translucent, which is why Baopu felt relieved to do it himself.What's more, she faced the curtain the whole time and watched Wang Shuo's every move.

"Go and help." Wang Shuo ordered Xuan Wudao who was beside her. Because she was pregnant, she was not the same as before, and all the maids around her were waiting in the side hall.

Xuanwu quickly put his hands together, and quickly prepared the water and handkerchief.Wang Shuo waved Baopu back, and did it himself, and asked Xuanwu to assist him.Xuanwu supported the Queen's Empress's wrist to facilitate Wang Shuo's exertion.

Wang Shuo wiped the face, hands and feet of the empress before sitting back on the soft stool he sat on yesterday, and motioned Baopu to bring down the remaining water.

When Wang Shuo did this, even if the empress's skin was a little wet, she could also shirk it. Baopu was not unhappy, and everything went on as usual.

When the shift was changed in the afternoon, Wang Shuo returned to Fuxi Hall and quickly asked, "How, you can see it."

"I have a heart in my heart, but I'm not sure. I have to go back and check the medical books." Xuanwu knew that her big judgment was the basis for the master's decision-making, so she didn't dare to be ambiguous, and she had to be sure before she could speak.

"Then what to do, you just entered the palace in the name of taking care of me, and then you go out immediately, will it attract attention? Or let you go to the imperial pharmacy to study, let alone, wouldn't it be self-reporting." Wang Shuo's IQ has plummeted since she became pregnant.

"Don't worry, don't say that Xuanwu can't stay in the palace, you're leaving the palace too." Tu Geng came in from the outside and said.

"Today, there is a royal history book saying that you are not a concubine of the emperor, and I have already left the palace to divide the mansion. It is not appropriate for an heir to be born in the inner palace..."

"It's only been two months, but they think long-term." Wang Shuo rolled his eyes and said.

"Just say that, that's fine. I will also tell your majesty that I didn't think carefully at the time, and I should have avoided it. You should go back to the house first." Tu Geng analyzed: "Seeing that the waves are about to rise, you are trapped in the palace. Don't worry too much. It happens that you can also help me calm down the situation, one palace and one mansion, one inside and one outside, just to do things cheaply."

"Only you will think." Uncle Wang said with a smile.She also had a deep sense of uneasiness in her heart, the mountain and the rain are about to come, and the building is full of wind!

Wang Shuo packed up and left the palace in the afternoon. The emperor felt that the young couple had been wronged, and he was rewarded generously. After entering the palace for three days and two nights, Wang Shuo received two carts of rewards. The emperor is really rich and willful.

Now that he knows the secrets of the turmoil in Beijing, how can Wang Shuo feel at ease? The first thing he does when he returns to the mansion is to recruit the long history and guards to understand the defense of the mansion.

The Palace of Zhongshan Palace has always been well-defended, and Chang Shi and the Chief of Guards are also capable people, so they began to secretly prepare for the battle.

After Xuanwu went back to the mansion to investigate clearly, he replied: "Niang Ning is indeed poisoned, not a cold. It's just a poison whose symptoms are very similar to wind-cold. It's just that there is a very clear difference between this "no breath" and the wind cold, that is, people who suffer from "no breath" will sweat a lot. You said that you once smelled the strong orange terrier soup, which is used to suppress sweating. But these didn’t make the Empress sleep for a long time, they even planted Yangjinhua on the empress.”

"Okay, I won't talk about medical theory, I don't understand it, just talk about how to detoxify and whether it will do any harm to your body."

"Just look at the fact that they need to use Yangjinhua to force the empress to sleep, that is, the medicine is not heavy, and it can be recovered after some recuperation. If you want to detoxify, you can directly relieve the unconscious Yangjinhua, and the empress wakes up and feels herself. Once I told the imperial doctor about my physical condition, the imperial doctor would understand that it was a misjudgment earlier." Xuanwu explained.

"My lady didn't wake up halfway, why didn't she say it? And Baopu is a confidant, so why did she poison my lady? Could it be that my lady knew about it? No, this matter can't just be exposed like this." Wang Shuo murmured muttered to himself.

"During illness, I often misjudge my own physical condition, and I can't be sure that the empress can accurately perceive my physical condition when she is awake." Xuanwu seeks truth from facts, and it cannot be said that the queen deliberately concealed it.

Suddenly, Wang Shuo had a flash of inspiration and asked, "I asked you to keep an eye on Kanglehou's mansion, what's the matter?"

"Qing'er is responsible for this matter, I only know it's superficial, let's call Qing'er to report to the master." Xuan Wu said, they have always had a clear division of labor, and they really don't know the details of their respective responsibilities.

"Call her quickly."

"Returning to the master, Kanglehou's mansion has been tightly guarded recently, and it is strictly forbidden to enter and exit. Yesterday, I just bought a large amount of fruit, vegetable and firewood. It seems that I am planning to stay away for a long time." Qing'er said.

"Kanglehou is famous for being lively, why did he suddenly close the door to thank guests?" Wang Shuo asked, there must be something wrong.

"It is said that the whole family is vegetarian and fasting, praying for the mother." This reason is also plausible.

"Then is there any connection between Kanglehou's Mansion and the First Prince's Mansion?"

"No, no one in the Kanglehou Mansion has gone out since the mother fell ill." Qing'er reported back that the Kanglehou Mansion did this, and everyone in the capital praised him for his kindness.

No, if they don't go out, how do they contact and release pigeons?Don't be ridiculous, the capital is strictly controlled, and the pigeons are shot down as soon as they go up to the sky.

Wang Shuo tapped his fingers on the table, slowly sorting out the clues, and suddenly asked: "You said that no one has ever entered Kanglehou's Mansion except for kitchen shopping?"

"Yes."

"Then the person who delivered the food in Hou's Mansion and the First Prince's Mansion is the same person?"

"My subordinates will investigate immediately." Qing'er also said that this is the only place where the two governments are connected, and immediately responded.

As expected, the same person delivered food to the two prefectures, and there was an explanation for the abnormal behavior of the First Prince and First Princess Concubine in the palace.Combined with the fact that the eldest grandson of the emperor had a series of banquets with the heir of the Xungui family today, Wang Shuo had a guess in his mind.Most of the Xungui families started their families with martial arts, and many of them still hold military positions, and even have high-ranking figures, such as Jia Daishan, Duke of Rongguo, and Jia Daihua, Duke of Ningguo. The eldest sons of these two, Jia She and Jia Jing, are both in the It was on the list for the emperor's eldest grandson's banquet.

Wang Shuo listed the known conditions one by one on the paper, and then deduced them carefully. The final result shocked her.

Wang Shuo tossed and turned all night about this matter. Early the next morning, he asked someone to pack up some dresses and some snacks and send them to Tu Geng. This was his wife's concern.

The confidant told Tu Geng the truth that had been found out and Wang Shuo's deduction, and asked his opinion, what should we do now?

The news that came back made Wang Shuo both sad and gratified: sowing dissension, making the best of the situation, snipe and clam fighting, and the fisherman gaining.

Tu Geng is not going to save the empress.
