Chunman Palace

Chapter 92
In Xuanji Palace, Mu Pingting had already heard the news from Fuhua State, and knew that the emperor would come to see her later, so she bought the imperial doctor to stay by her side, half lying on the bed with a weak look, quietly Close your eyes and wait.

Xuan Yin rushed to the bedroom in a hurry, and said to Imperial Physician Li: "How is Concubine Jin?"

"Back to the emperor, Empress Jin's pulse condition is extremely weak, and her qi and blood are greatly deficient. If things go on like this, I'm afraid it will affect the development of the dragon fetus in her abdomen." After taking these red ginseng and velvet antler pills, my mother will take them on time, and it may keep the fetal gas."

Xuan Yin frowned and said: "It's useless! Concubine Jin has been recuperating for so long and still hasn't improved. Could it be that you, an imperial physician, are incompetent!"

Imperial Physician Li knelt down in fear and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me! Regarding the illness of Concubine Jin, I dare not slack off in the slightest!"

At this time, Mu Pingting slowly opened her eyes, and pleaded for Li Taiyi in a weak voice: "Your Majesty, it is because of the weak health of the concubine, which has nothing to do with Li Taifu... If it is not for the careful care of Li Taifu these days, I am afraid that the concubine I can't see the emperor again."

Xuan Yin stepped forward to hold the man's hand, and said kindly: "You just woke up and your body is weak, so don't worry about it." He shook his hand at Li Taiyi displeasedly, and said decisively: "If the concubine Jin can't be cured, Don't want your head either!"

Doctor Li knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Yes."

"Get out!"

Xuan Yin let out a heavy breath, the anger on his brow seemed to burn everything around him to ashes.

Mu Pingting caressed his chest softly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it is destined to be misfortune and good fortune. If the concubine is not destined to accompany the emperor, the child of the emperor and the concubine can be born safely, and he will always replace the concubine. Satisfied."

Xuan Yin held her hand tightly without refusing: "I want Yue'er to be by my side all the time!"

At this time, Li Qiao was waiting outside with the priests of Linxian Temple, and went in to report by himself.

Xuan Yin said anxiously: "Let him in."

When the priest walked into the room, Xuan Yin said: "I have already taken the man's blood to worship, why is Concubine Jin's illness still not showing any improvement?"

The priest calmly said: "Your Majesty, may I ask if the blood is indeed in line with the birth date?" As he spoke, he put an empty tortoise shell on the fire and burned it.

"nature."

After Xuan Yin finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and said: "Could it be that the man did not do it voluntarily?"

Mu Pingting frowned and interrupted the conversation between the two: "Is the emperor suspicious...?"

The priest looked up and said: "It is possible, but if it is not voluntary to enshrine, it will be counterproductive. I am afraid that Empress Jin's illness will worsen."

Xuan Yin murmured: "Concubine Jin hasn't gotten worse recently, but she's still so weak."

"That's because it's not effective enough. We need to find a woman who matches her birth date as soon as possible, and donate blood together with that man, so that Concubine Jin can be saved from danger." The priest took out a scroll from his sleeve, laid it flat on the ground, and poured tea on it .

A direction was immediately reflected on the scroll, southwest.

At this time, the tortoise shell used for divination that was burning on the fire also cracked, and the word "Qing" was written on the cracked shell.

The priest saluted and said: "Your Majesty, according to the instructions, the person with the clear name in the southwestern part is the good medicine for Concubine Jin's illness, but this red color is a sign of evil, and maybe this person will bring disaster to Concubine Jin."

Xuan Yin said angrily, "What's the meaning of this?"

The priest said: "This person cannot live in the palace for a long time."

Li Qiao took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, it's easier to ask God than to send God away."

"Of course I know, it's just that I need to cure Concubine Jin's illness first and keep her dragon fetus." Xuan Yin frowned and said to the priest: "Wait until spring, when the glaciers thaw, then take that person back, and then send him back immediately." ?”

The priest nodded and said: "This is the best, but Empress Jin still needs more supplements to take care of her body these days."

Mu Pingting smiled and said, "Thank you priest for your concern."

Xuan Yin turned his gaze and landed on Mu Pingting: "Okay, you all go down."

The crowd backed away.

Xuan Yin's eyes were full of tenderness, and he said softly: "Yue'er, wait a little longer, and I will definitely cure you of your illness."

Mu Pingting smiled on both cheeks: "I am really touched by the emperor's pity, but the emperor doesn't have to go to Qingyu for the sake of my concubine. She has a quiet and calm personality, and she should be the best in Huahua State."

"If it wasn't for the emergency, I wouldn't have thought of such a bad plan." Xuan Yin frowned and sighed: "If you want to find someone who meets the requirements, it's good to find someone in the palace, but if you can't find them , and absolutely cannot spread it outside the palace.”

"The concubine knows that the emperor is afraid of the criticism of the world... The concubine is absolutely unwilling to be the demon concubine who will bring disaster to the country and the people." Mu Pingting frowned deeply, and tried to get up to salute: "The concubine has something to ask the emperor to agree to."

"If you have something to say, you are weak, so you don't need to perform many etiquettes."

Mu Pingting pursed her lips, looked up at Xuan Yin, and whispered softly: "If Qingyu refuses, the emperor shouldn't force it, okay? I know my concubine's illness, and it's definitely not an ancient prescription. It can be cured. If Qingyu is unwilling after returning to the palace, the concubine will never blame her."

Xuan Yin said forcefully: "But it is for this reason that I welcome her back. If she dares to refuse, I will let her go back to Fuhua State!"

Mu Pingting said sincerely: "Your Majesty, Qingyu has a gentle temperament and is good at dancing rhythms. If the concubine leaves and can have Qingyu by your side, the concubine can feel much more at ease."

Xuan Yin stared straight at her, "You really think so?"

Mu Pingting immediately lowered her head, and after a long while said weakly, "Yes."

A wicked smile appeared on Xuan Yin's lips, he put his hand on the back of Mu Pingting's hand, patted it lightly and said, "How can she be compared with Yue'er."

At this point, Mu Pingting looked up at the person carefully, and suddenly said: "Then, can you call this concubine's current real name Pingting?"

A trace of hesitation slipped across Xuan Yin's face, and after a long time, he asked in a deep voice, "Why did you change your name?"

Mu Pingting lowered her voice: "Although Chenqie's previous name had the word "month", it has been changed for a long time after all. The emperor always calls Chenqie Yue'er, and Chenqie always thinks he is calling someone else? I am not used to it." She took He raised his eyes suspiciously, and noticed the changes in Xuan Yin.

Xuan Yin's expression turned cold for a moment, and his voice also lost temperature, as cold as ice: "It's okay, you will get used to it slowly."

There was a wry smile on Mu Pingting's mouth, she responded inaudibly, then lowered her head in silence, and never looked up at Xuan Yin again.

Xuan Yin let go of her hand, "I will come to see you later." Then she left without looking back.

After Xuanyin walked for a while, Huayue dared to come forward: "Your Majesty, the servants have checked everything you asked the servants to do, and the one who helped Lin Qingyu's family to check is the guard!"

"It's him again! Why is it him again!" Mu Pingting slammed the medicine bowl in front of the table on the ground, "Why does he have to fight against me! Why does everyone have to fight against me!"

Huayue stepped forward to comfort her and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, you are a man with a body now, you have to consider your own body and the dragon fetus in your womb."

Mu Pingting gritted her teeth bitterly and said: "Whatever I ask for, I can't get it, and whatever I avoid, guests come here... What do I need this body for?" Qi and blood surged up, causing her to cough repeatedly After a few bursts, a few mouthfuls of blood were stuck.

Huayue was startled immediately: "Your Majesty... this servant is going to invite the imperial physician over!"

Mu Pingting called out: "Stop! Don't go!" She took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said hoarsely, "I'm in good health, it's just that I'm getting angry after taking so many tonic medicines these days... Just go and make some tea for Ben Gong."

Huayue nodded and hurried to go.

Mu Pingting tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, and was speechless for a while.

Now, she only feels that her throat is stinging and itchy, and if she wants to cough to relieve the itching, it will be unbearably dry and painful.She has ordered Doctor Li to help her change her pulse condition. In fact, there is no loss in her body. It is just that the silver needles are drawn across the acupoints in advance, which can make the originally strong and powerful pulse extremely weak, which can be used to steal the sky and replace the sun.

Although she didn't touch those tonics in private, she always had to take tonics to put on a show in front of Xuan Yin, but this also made the body too full and too much, causing a false fire.

If things go on like this, maybe the tonic will really become a loss.

She tucked the handkerchief under the quilt and sighed softly.

In the past few years, she has gradually seen how Xuan Yin treats her. She always feels that Xuan Yin is calling others through the sound of "Yue'er". What is it like to come.

For a long time, she gradually didn't want to call him "A Yin". Even in private, she called Xuan Yin the emperor, trying to change all of these names, but Xuan Yin turned a deaf ear to her no matter whether it was explicit or implied, and continued to call her that name.

This made her have to check.

Finally, she learned from her father, Mu Beishan, that she once had an older sister named Mu Yueru, but she disappeared when she was seven years old. The parents were so sad that no one mentioned the name again.

When Mu Pingting learned about this, her complexion was pale.

She couldn't believe that the emperor had met her elder sister Mu Yueru when she was young, and she couldn't believe that Xuan Yin loved her as Mu Yueru.

The "Mu Yueru" conceived in this way, like a ghost, is always by Mu Pingting's side like a shadow. Almost every night, she would wake up screaming and find it difficult to fall asleep.

What is good at playing the harp...

Those skills were clearly fantasized by Xuan Yin, perhaps when he saw them when he was young, he began to imagine what the young lady of the Mu family looked like, and what kind of skills she was good at, right?

Mu Pingting shuddered.

She regretted more and more why she set foot in the harem in the first place, and why she didn't stay with Zeyu. If she stayed away from the harem like Lin Qingyu now, at least she would be out of the sea of ​​suffering now, right?

But it happened that Lin Qingyu took everything from her again.

She closed her eyes tightly, almost digging her nails into her palms in anger.

At this time, Huayue came in with the freshly cooked green plum tea, and a bowl of clear water soaked in mint leaves with her fingers, "Although you can't take medicine casually, you can use this mint water to wipe your throat, and it will make you feel better." many."

Mu Pingting opened her eyes suddenly, and asked eagerly: "Huayue, I want you to inquire about Zeyu's news. Do you know where he went when he was not in the palace these days? Could it be the Vanity State?"

Huayue shook her head and said: "This servant did not check Zechu's movements. It is said that he has been missing for a long time, and the emperor hasn't seen him recently. It's so strange."

Mu Pingting pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Most of the pools on the lake are frozen now. Do you think that he will go to Huahua State, but the lake freezes on the way and he is trapped? Is that so!"

"It shouldn't be. The boatman didn't carry people before the lake was frozen, and the guards are not stupid. How could it be possible to go to Fuhua State in a snowy day? Wouldn't it be trapped there to death?"

After Huayue finished speaking, Mu Pingting immediately raised her eyes and cast a sharp look, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes...!" Huayue realized that she had said something wrong, and immediately lowered her head.

"What annoys my sister so much?" Lan Fei's voice drifted in gently, and she saw Lan Fei wearing an embroidered red brocade sweater and walking into the room calmly.

Mu Pingting smiled softly: "Sister is here."

Concubine Lan smiled and sat opposite her, her voice was soft: "My sister is so angry, I'm afraid it's not good for the fetus in the womb, it should be calmer." She handed the cup of green plum tea to someone, and said: "This green plum tea , the most good thing to go to the fire to calm the mind."

"Thank you for your concern." Mu Pingting took the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "I don't know why my sister came here?"

"Is there anything important, I just came to see you." Concubine Lan put down her teacup, and took a sachet from beside the maid, "This sachet is specially embroidered with five blessings and auspicious patterns. They are all good things such as red dates, lotus seeds, osmanthus garden, etc., just for auspiciousness."

Mu Pingting smiled lightly: "Sister Lao, please worry about it." She raised her hand to let Huayue take it away.

Concubine Lan said lightly: "It's not a troublesome thing, so it's okay." She rubbed her fingertips and said softly: "But sister, you should know that doing everything is too complicated, but it will be a mistake, because there are too many things to consider. Too complicated."

Mu Pingting was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "I don't know what my sister said?"

Concubine Lan took a deep look at her, then slowly put her hand on her abdomen, and said: "Your own body, you know... do you really think it's worth it for two people to waste yourself so much? Even if you It's over, it's too pitiful for the fetus in the womb to be tossed so much by you."

Mu Pingting smiled and said, "Of course I understand what my sister means. My sister will definitely take good care of her body. At least for now, my sister's body is not too weak."

In fact, she didn't want to have this child at all.

Xuan Yin's various behaviors made her despise Xuan Yin and the fetus in her womb even more. As long as Xuan Yin was by his side for a moment, she would feel extremely disgusted.And this fetus was like a poisonous thorn in the flesh, causing her to be tortured.

Concubine Lan frowned, lightly stroked Mu Pingting's stomach, and raised her voice a little: "A tiger's poison does not eat its young, sister, don't be fooled by the momentary viciousness!" She sighed, her eyes were full of sadness : "At least for yourself, don't hurt this child again, after all, he is your only flesh and blood connection in this harem."
