Chunman Palace

Chapter 117 Cheng Xi
Fei Xing was already timid, Lin Qingyu was worried that something would happen to Chang Xiuru if she continued beating her like this, so she couldn't help saying: "Concubine Chang, do you want to be tortured like this?"

Chang Xiuru raised her lips and smiled: "Sister Concubine, do you feel sorry for this girl? Don't worry, my concubine knows how to measure and will not let anything happen to this girl." She pinched Fei Xing's cheek and said viciously: "You If you say you have a close relationship with He'er, what evidence do you have?"

Fei Xing endured the pain, his cheeks were covered with purple bruises, and his words became thinner: "Slave... Slave..."

Seeing this scene, the queen frowned and scolded: "Concubine Chang! If you want to ask, you can ask, why is it so bloody? The emperor is still here, so you started your hands?"

Xuan Yin's face was impatient, and the anger was drawn into the eyebrows, showing a bit of sternness: "If you want to ask, then ask, if you want to answer, then answer, don't be coy."

Fei Xing tremblingly took out a wooden bracelet from his sleeve, and said: "This bracelet, I and He'er each have one, it was made of dead wood by my father when we were in the same village, it represents the sisterhood between us two."

Chang Xiuru said: "Then what about He'er now? Does she have this wooden bracelet?"

The queen sighed, and said: "He'er has long been dragged to the mass grave to be fed to the wild dogs. If you want to find this bracelet, you can only have someone go to her corpse to check."

Lin Qingyu got up and pulled Fei Xing behind him, looked at Chang Xiuru with a little dissatisfaction, and said, "I've finished asking, how is it, Concubine Chang can get the answer you want?"

Chang Xiuru smiled: "Yes, this concubine believes the relationship between Fei Xing and He'er." She suddenly got up and knelt down to Xuan Yin, begging: "Your Majesty, this Fei Xing has a close relationship with He'er, Fei Xing Knowing that He'er has grievances against the eldest princess but deliberately concealing it, her heart is to be punished! This concubine asks the emperor to punish him!"

The queen said softly: "Your Majesty, although Fei Xing is Concubine Concubine's maid, Fei Xing didn't tell Concubine Concubine anything before the incident happened, but she was always timid and afraid of getting into trouble, why not take it lightly?"

Xuan Yin frowned tightly, his expression covered with dark clouds, unspeakably gloomy and terrifying, and after a long while, he said coldly: "Zeyu violated the palace rules, and he will be punished as a last-class bodyguard from now on, stationed in Jinhan Palace; Report, eighty whips, and fifty slaps on the mouth to make an example; concubine, the management of Yanxi Palace is not good, and she will be exposed to the hot sun for three hours every day until the queen mother wakes up."

The queen said in surprise: "But concubine concubine is not at fault, and the queen mother has always been close to concubine concubine, will the emperor do this..."

Xuan Yin cast a cold look at her: "The queen has any objections?"

"The concubine dare not..."

At this time, Lin Qingyu, Feixing and Zeyou all saluted and accepted the order.

Xuan Yin didn't say much anymore, just glanced at the few scattered people in the seat, and flung his sleeves away.

The queen looked at the few people, shook her head and sighed, and then retreated.

Chang Xiuru smiled coldly, and fixed her eyes on Lin Qingyu, "You are really good at it, if something like this happens, the emperor will just punish you to kneel for three hours a day."

Lin Qingyu smiled, and said: "Sister Concubine Chang, don't be envious. If you like it, you can follow my example. If you are so self-aware, your majesty will be pleased if you want to come to the emperor."

"Who envies you!" Chang Xiuru gritted her teeth and glared angrily, then said with a snort, "I'd better experience the feeling of being punished by kneeling." After speaking, she got up and left.

In such a large palace, only Lin Qingyu, master and servant, and Zeyi are left.

Mo'er supported Lin Qingyu to get up slowly, and asked if there was any discomfort in her body.

Lin Qingyu shook her head and said: "Feixing is seriously injured, you should take her back first, I have a few words to say to the guard Zeyu."

Mo'er was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I will help you stew a bowl of jujube soup for your mother, you can drink it when you get back."

Lin Qingyu replied very lightly, and then looked towards Zeyu.

She didn't know what to say now, and she didn't know whether to apologize first or thank you first, or——a hysterical questioning?She looked at Zezu's back and silently lowered her head.

In the end, Zezu still asked, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Lin Qingyu looked at the man who was opposing her, and said in a panic, "I don't know what to ask, but what happened today, I am sorry for you."

Zeyu's voice was hoarse: "You didn't do anything wrong to me, but Zeyu, on the contrary, made you suffer."

"So... Concubine Jin?" Lin Qingyu didn't expect that Mu Pingting would also lie for him. If all these reasons are fabricated, then what is the truth?
Could it be that Zezu really colluded with the court lady and designed to kill the eldest princess?
She was startled suddenly, looked into Zeyu's eyes in disbelief, took a few steps back, and couldn't speak for a while: "But...but why did you do this? You, you really do something that hurts others and yourself. Are you not afraid of death? Are you not afraid that the people around you will be implicated?"

Because of her panic, her words were broken and disorganized, and her heart almost seemed to jump out of her atrium in the next moment.

She shook her head violently, took a breath, and said, "No, you didn't do this, right? You didn't have a reason, so it wasn't you, right? Tell me, you won't hurt yourself. "

Zezi was silent for a long time, but clenched his fists tightly.

She took a few steps forward, grabbed Zeyou's arm, and said in a low voice: "The empress dowager will be furious if she loses her daughter. It is absolutely impossible for her to believe that her daughter was murdered by a little maid because she mistreated the palace servants." Die! With such an identity, how can Heer help you bear the charge of murdering the royal family? Do you think the fire won't follow you? What will you do then!!!"

Seeing that Zeyu was still speechless, she couldn't help but increase her voice, and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you mean? Why?"

Zeyu lowered his head deeply, then revealed a pair of eyes stained red with tears, and breathed in: "If I don't do that, the eldest princess will use that bag of poison on you!"

"What did you say……?"

"Don't you understand?" Zeyu took a deep breath, raised his head slightly, tried to force back the tears in his eyes, then looked at her sadly, and said, "You should know how vicious the eldest princess is. Last time he was aware of our affairs, I had to seek skin with the tiger, and came up with this way to put myself in danger."

Lin Qingyu was on the verge of tears too. She suppressed her sentimentality and turned her back, sobbing: "You shouldn't have ended up like this...It was me, I was the one who got you involved." She bit her lips tightly and wiped the corners of her eyes. With tears in his eyes, he said: "The matter will not end at this point, the emperor's punishment is considered a lenient punishment, you must know that the eldest princess is not only the emperor's own younger sister, but also the only daughter of the empress dowager!"

Ze Zu tremblingly said: "Everything is up to me, so you don't have to worry."

Lin Qingyu hurriedly said: "No, you can't meddle in this matter anymore! The harem has always been a struggle for women, and whoever dies and lives has nothing to do with others. This has nothing to do with you at all."

"But…!"

"Zei! If you still want to see me, don't put yourself in danger for me, otherwise, I will never forgive you again." After she finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Zeyu laughed like a self-deprecating smile, with grief in his heart.

The next day, after Lin Qingyu knelt for an hour, he felt chest tightness and discomfort. He half-lyed on the soft couch for a long time but did not feel relieved. Mo'er anxiously fanned the wind with a feather fan, and ordered someone to add a few pieces to the pottery vat. ice.

Lin Qingyu's breath was weak, her pale lips moved slightly, and she spit out words as light as dust: "I feel that I can't exert any strength in my body, and it hurts inexplicably...Mo'er, go to the imperial physician."

Mo'er stopped moving, and went forward to wipe her sweat with a handkerchief, "I have already sent someone to invite you! Madam, hold on, do you have heat stroke? How about some ice?"

Lin Qingyu nodded, and said weakly: "Okay, I feel like my chest is burning."

Mo'er hurriedly brought the white fungus soup from the ice array, slowly brought it to Lin Qingyu's lips with a spoon, and drank it one mouthful at a time. When she had drunk the seventh spoonful, Lin Qingyu closed her lips tightly.

She asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what do you think? Do you want to drink more?"

Lin Qingyu quickly waved his hand, pointing to the spittoon beside him, and when Mo'er brought it, he vomited.

The soup she had just vomited out together with the breakfast she had in the morning. She wished she could turn her stomach upside down, and continued to vomit for a long time. In the end, she only vomited until there was only water left, and she was still retching non-stop. , almost suffocating.

At this time, Imperial Physician Liu had already rushed over with the palace servants carrying the medicine box.

While helping Lin Qingyu caress her back, Mo'er moved her face down, "Take a quick look, doctor, how could our mother be like this... Is it heat stroke?"

"Please wait a moment." Imperial Physician Liu spread out the medicine box, put the gauze on Lin Qingyu's wrist, and examined it carefully. After a while, he was overjoyed and cupped his hands to congratulate: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, this is a great joy! "

Mo'er angrily said: "What is the doctor Liu talking about? Our mother is so uncomfortable, but what kind of happy event are you talking about? Dare I ask where the joy comes from!"

Lin Qingyu gradually recovered, and softly said to Mo'er, "Mo'er, don't be rude to Imperial Physician Liu."

Mo'er obediently kept silent, but still glanced at Imperial Physician Liu unhappily.

Imperial Physician Liu hurriedly said: "Oh, I made a slip of the tongue! I didn't explain it clearly! There is nothing serious about your mother's health, but she is pregnant for a month."

"It turned out to be like this..." Mo'er was very surprised, and then saluted: "President Liu, I was rude just now, please forgive me."

Imperial Physician Liu waved his hand: "Please get up quickly! Please get up quickly!"

Mo'er said gently: "May I ask Imperial Physician Liu, if our mother knelt for an hour just now, will it affect the fetus?"

Imperial Physician Liu took a deep breath and said, "This... Your Majesty's body is weakest at this time. After kneeling for an hour, she will have abdominal cramps and can't eat. If she kneels for two hours, I'm afraid it's a dragon The fetus is not guaranteed!"

"Then can you ask Imperial Physician Liu to prescribe some anti-abortion medicine? Our empress is really uncomfortable now."

"Naturally." After finishing his speech, Imperial Physician Liu prepared a pen and paper and began to write the prescription.

Lin Qingyu could only feel her brain buzzing, her eyes were blurred, and she vaguely heard the word Youxi, she propped herself up and said with great effort: "Doctor Liu... Bengong... I want to ask you for help."

Imperial Physician Liu paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know what orders your Majesty has?"

"Please Imperial Physician Liu... spread the news about my pregnancy... Make sure everyone knows about it."

After she finished speaking, Mo'er took out a piece of silver from her body and put it in the hands of Imperial Physician Liu.

Mo'er knew that Lin Qingyu did this to save the child, and now that she was in a weak state, if someone else took the opportunity to make trouble, she would not be able to guarantee her own life at all, but if it spread widely, others would not dare to act rashly .

After Mo'er handed over the money to Imperial Physician Liu, she added: "Please trouble Imperial Physician Liu."

"Don't dare to take it." Imperial Physician Liu chuckled, then handed the prescription to Mo'er, and said, "Since it's your mother's order, I will do my best. This medicine has the effects of ventilating Qi and strengthening blood, nourishing the spirit and dispelling stagnation. Take it for seven days The empress will be safe."

Lin Qingyu smiled weakly, and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Liu, Mo'er, go get medicine with Imperial Physician Liu."

Mo'er was a little worried and said, "Young lady, you..."

Lin Qingyu said: "Don't worry, I don't feel so uncomfortable now, just go and come back quickly."

"Okay. The servant will come back after taking the medicine." Mo'er helped Lin Qingyu to the bed, and hurriedly followed Imperial Physician Liu.

Lin Qingyu lay on the bed, closed her eyes and meditated, and slowly counted the days. In the end, her body was startled, and she grasped the corner of the quilt tightly.

Based on this calculation, this child belongs to Zeyi, not Xuan Yin... If it is calculated, the fetus should be two months old, or much less than one month, which is wrong.

Without time to think about it, she hurriedly called Xiang'er and asked her to bring a word to Mo'er.

After that, she fell into the anxiety of waiting, always worried that Xiang'er was one step too late, or that Mo'er could not be found, and Imperial Physician Liu had already spread the news that she was pregnant for one month, and she could not change it.

Thinking so anxiously, she gradually fell into a half-dream and half-awake state.

Suddenly Xiang'er's voice came from next to her ear, she immediately opened her eyes and asked, "How is things going?"

Xiang'er said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant has passed on your mother's words to Sister Mo'er on the way, and Sister Mo'er should have returned with the medicine by now."

"That's good." Lin Qingyu's hanging heart finally fell, she let out a long breath, and leaned on the high pillow to close her eyes and meditate.

After a while, Mo'er rushed back with Imperial Physician Liu.

Doctor Liu put down the medicine box, put down the handkerchief, and probed towards Lin Qingyu's wrist, then "hissed" and said: "It's because I was careless, I just misjudged the pulse condition of the empress, the fetus should be two months old. Please Your concubine will punish you."

Lin Qingyu said: "It's okay, Imperial Physician Liu. I ask you, I always feel tightness in my chest, why is that?"

"It should be because the empress knelt down for a long time, and the heatstroke caused by the sun is too strong. I have to change this prescription again. I am really ashamed of my dereliction of duty!"

Lin Qingyu said flatly: "Sometimes people make mistakes, and Imperial Physician Liu doesn't have to worry about it. Just re-write the prescription and let Mo'er go with you again."

"Thank you madam!"

Lin Qingyu raised the corners of her lips, and quietly hid the silver needle in her sleeve under the quilt.

Not long after, Mo'er came back with the medicine, her face beaming with joy, and her voice brightened: "Your Majesty, just now Imperial Physician Liu went to ask the Empress for her peace of mind, and told the Empress that you were two months pregnant. The emperor was also in Fengyi Palace, so he ordered the empress to be exempted from kneeling every day."
