Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Chapter 166 Empress acting

Back to the emperor, this is the third time that the slave has given medicine, because Tian Guiren said that this kind of medicine will take several days to be effective. The slave is serving in Changle Palace. The slave does not dare to disobey the orders of the masters. "

Take medicine three times.

The emperor had no time to care about Mangkhut. He wanted to know how Du Jiyan was poisoned and whether her stomach was strange.

Du Jiyan was sewing small clothes in the corridor.

"The child in your belly is less than a month old, and you have already started making clothes for him?" The emperor bent down and spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened.

"These clothes are made for the Queen's child. In a while, the Queen will give birth. Although the embroiderers have prepared a lot of clothes for the Queen's child, I still want to make some with my own hands. , it’s my concubine’s wish.”

In the past, the emperor would have said, Mrs. Du, you are flattering the queen again.

This time, because he was worried about Du Jiyan's safety, the emperor's words sounded much nicer: "Ms. Du, now that you are pregnant, you must put your belly first at all times."

"I'm fine, my concubine."

"I know you are fine, but Doctor Zhang has been asking for your pulse in Jingren Palace. I saw that his medical skills are good, so I specially asked him to take your pulse."

"Your Majesty, I really didn't mean this. I'm a lowly servant. How dare you murder Du Concubine? All of this was instigated by Noble Tian and Concubine Xian. Your Majesty, I still have an old mother at home. Please forgive me for your life." Shanzhu knelt down. Kowtow outside.

The emperor frowned slightly.

He didn't want to alert the snake to the matter of mangosteen's drugging.

After all, Du Jiyan was pregnant with the child at the moment, and he was afraid of shocking her.

Unexpectedly, Mangkhut started shouting outside.

The emperor gave Gao Rang a look.

Gao Rang went out, beckoned for someone to use a handkerchief to block Shanzhu's mouth, and then took a rope to tie Shanzhu tightly.

"Your Majesty, did Mangkhut make any mistake?" Du Jiyan asked knowingly.

Tian Lingyue came from a humble background, but she was lonely and arrogant in her heart.

Ever since she moved into Changle Palace, her high-raised head had never bowed to Du Jiyan.

I heard that after the first imperial concubine was placed under house arrest, Tian Lingyue's life was not satisfactory, so she seldom walked out. In the past few days, Shangghu came to buy food one after another, and every time she came, she hurriedly went to the small kitchen. , Besides, Tian Lingyue is just a noble person, and her monthly silver is very limited. Unlike Shi Jing, she has a subsidy at home, so she lives with those few taels of silver, one tael today to buy food the next day. , seems to be abnormal.

Abnormality is a monster.

It’s always good to be more careful.

Du Jiyan opened the system and bought the monitor.

The monitor disguised by Apple is large, round, and has high definition.

Du Jiyan placed the apple on the kitchen cabinet at a good angle. She could see everything in the small kitchen clearly while sitting in the main hall holding another apple, and it was adjustable 360 ​​degrees.

Things in the system mall are constantly updated, and the current monitors are much clearer than before.

Of course she could see Mangkhut pouring medicine into the clay pot.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she pretended that nothing happened, just to see what other tricks Changle Palace had. Anyway, life in the palace is not as good as outside. The entertainment activities for women in the palace are very limited. Occasionally looking at the monitor is like watching a TV series to kill time.

Unexpectedly, the emperor also discovered it.

"We'll talk about Mangkhut later. I really want to know how you are doing now."

Doctor Zhang has already felt his pulse: "Your Majesty, Du Changzai's fetal condition is very stable, his pulse is steady and strong, and has not been affected."

"How many times have you drank the soup in the clay pot in the past few days?" The emperor was still worried.

"The soup in the clay pot. I've had a big appetite lately and always want to eat something greasy. The soup in the clay pot was watery. I didn't want to drink it, so I didn't drink it."

"Really?"

"real."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are different now than before. You have to be careful about what you eat and use in the future, do you understand?"

Du Jiyan nodded.

When the emperor left, he took the mangosteen with him.

Sanzhu trembled and followed the emperor, sobbing as he walked.

Seeing her dawdling, Gao Rang wanted to kick her: "Now you are crying. You are so brave, how could you dare to give the medicine to His Highness Wanru? Fortunately, Master Wanru is safe and sound. If Because of you, you hurt Concubine Du and the child in her belly, and it’s too late for you to cry underground.”

Shanzhu knelt down directly on the spot: "Eunuch, I really didn't mean to harm Concubine Du. I have my own reasons. I have to listen to the words of the head of Changle Palace."

"Nonsense, do you also kill people when they ask you to do so? If you are really a kind person, you can report this matter to the emperor and let the emperor make the decision for you. But you did not report the matter to the emperor, and you chose to harm others. It shows that you are sneaky. Haunted."

"Woooooooo..."

Mangkhut sat on the ground and started crying.

The emperor suddenly stopped: "Gao Rang, if she doesn't want to leave, deal with her on the spot."

Gao Rang understood, took out the fly whisk and pretended to strangle Mangosteen to death.

Shanzhu was so frightened that he quickly stood up, crossed his legs and hurried to Changle Palace.

"Do you remember what I told you? Do you understand what to say?" Gao Rang asked her.

Mangkhut nodded.

Changle Palace has always been quiet.

When the imperial concubine was favored, she behaved domineeringly and did not like people from other palaces walking around at the entrance of her palace. Therefore, the Changle Palace at that time had to lower its voice even if an ant crawled across the door.

Later, the first noble concubine was placed under house arrest. Although Tian Guiren's status rose, the emperor never came to see her once. She rose and fell secretly, so Changle Palace was also neglected in front of the door.

At the end of the palace wall is Changle Palace.

The bright yellow glazed tiles were covered with dust, and no one cleaned them during the holidays. The entire palace looked covered in a layer of dust.

The two red-lacquered doors were tightly closed, and there was no one at the door.

Mangkhut stood on the steps, straightened his hair and pink shirt, put a smile on his face, opened the door and entered the yard.

The emperor carefully stepped over the threshold with Gao Jian, and stopped at the rockery at the entrance.

The rockery is like a screen, blocking the wind from outside.

When the imperial concubine was still favored, the furnishings in the courtyard were more upscale than the queen's Jingren Palace, and these rockeries were moved from the imperial garden.

It's just that the rockery was kept smooth in the past, but now the people who serve it are not doing their best. Maybe the masters don't have time to appreciate it anymore, and moss has grown on the rockery.

Tian Guiren was copying scriptures in the corridor, and Meng Yuzhu was practicing dancing next to him.

"Tian Guiren, you must be tired of copying. No one is looking at it anyway. Why are you copying it? Why don't you take a rest." Meng Yuzhu's waist was thinner than before.

Tian Lingyue put down the brush and rubbed her wrist: "We are almost like the living dead in Changle Palace now. If the emperor never comes, there will be no favor, no grace, only being bullied. I can't match the emperor's line. I thought that the Queen Mother would recite the Buddhist scriptures after all, so I copied some Buddhist scriptures and asked Mangkhut to send them there. Maybe the Queen Mother would remember me because of the Buddhist scriptures."

"That old bitch, you are counting on her." Meng Yuzhu smiled contemptuously: "Back then, the late emperor wanted to make the King of Yue the emperor, but that old bitch who didn't know what was right and wrong insisted on recommending the current emperor to be emperor. She even didn't even have her own son. I would rather love someone else's son. Do you expect such an old lady to love you? It's a daydream." "My dear concubine, you have been placed under house arrest by the emperor. I'm afraid the emperor will never remember you in this life. , why does the empress still practice dancing? Who will watch?"

Meng Yuzhu picked up a glass of wine on the low table and drank it, with a blush on her face: "Tian Guiren, you are too young after all. Women only look good to please themselves. I have never practiced dancing for the emperor before. So the emperor sees him If you don’t look, I don’t care at all.”

"My Majesty, are you drunk? My Majesty was favored because of her dancing talent, but now she is unsatisfied. Are you saying this to comfort yourself? Drinking is harmful to your health. My Majesty, drink less."

The two people actually felt a bit sympathetic to each other.

The emperor was quite puzzled.

Because Meng Yuzhu bullied Tian Lingyue, Tian Lingyue asked the servants of Changle Palace to report to the emperor many times, but the emperor never gave her the decision. After a long time, she stopped.

How come she and Meng Yuzhu are getting along?

When did it get better?

Why is it good?

What happened in the middle?

He, the emperor, knew nothing about it.

Gao Rang also felt a little confused.

I often heard that the first imperial concubine was overbearing, and after being locked up, she became even more domineering, causing a nobleman from Tian to be bullied so much that she sobbed secretly.

How come the two of them have reconciled?

"Your Majesty, this servant has remembered."

"What did you remember?"

"There was a precedent for this in the cold palace before."

"what?"

"I heard from the guards in the Cold Palace that during the previous dynasty, the empress who was locked up in the Cold Palace had no thoughts and her days were like years in the Cold Palace, so..."

"Just what?"

"Your Majesty, you may have heard of eunuchs having sex with palace maids."

The emperor nodded.

"So, ladies and gentlemen are almost the same as each other, they are just two women..." Gao Rang leaned his fingers together.

The emperor closed his eyes and said, "That's nonsense."

Gao Rang's guess is not unreasonable.

There must be some reason for Meng Yuzhu and Tian Guiren to turn their hostility into friendship.

Could it be that the two of them really got along because of their loneliness?

The emperor felt like someone was stepping on his face and rubbing it on the ground.

Could it be that those women who said they liked him ended up getting better with each other?

So who is he?

Don't believe it, don't believe it.

Tian Lingyue copied half a page of the scripture, and the thoughts that were easily ignited were extinguished by Meng Yuzhu. She was a little frustrated and resentful: "Speaking of the current situation between the imperial concubine and me, it is all that Du Just saying that it was caused. We were in trouble, but she was living a happy life. Before she entered the palace, the imperial concubine was always favored by her. After she entered the palace, she took away her favor and put her in the current situation. God is so blind that he allowed her to become pregnant."

"Then she must be able to give birth."

"Mangosteen——" The two of them thought of Mangosteen.

Shanzhu knelt down respectfully.

Tian Lingyue is a careful person, and she can tell something is wrong at a glance: "You are crying, Mangkhut, what happened?"

"Go back to Master, Wanru Palace..."

"Did Mrs. Du discover the drugging?" Tian Lingyue stood up nervously.

Mangkhut shook his head.

"Did you successfully put those medicines into Du's soup pot?" Meng Yuzhu frowned: "Mangosteen, you can't even handle this little thing, right? Tian Guiren and I have spent a lot of money these days. Those medicines were also my private collection back then, and the success or failure depends on you."

"My slave has already given Du Concubine some medicine." Shanzhu lowered his head and said, "Today the imperial doctor went to Wanru Hall and said he wanted to take Du Concubine's pulse."

"Then...how is your pulse?"

"My slave was far away and didn't hear clearly."

"What else can I do? I'm afraid the Du family is in danger." Tian Lingyue smiled like a flower. She hadn't smiled like this for a long time. It was as if the big stone in her heart was lifted away. She let out a long sigh of relief, and the air was filled with laughter. It's the fragrance. I haven't smelled the fragrance in the air carefully for a long time: "Du Shi thought that she would be able to live forever with the emperor's favor. Don't even think about it. As long as she loses her child, her wishful thinking will be in vain. A woman without children, even if she is favored, is of no use; if her love is fading, how can she be better than us?"

"As soon as Mrs. Du entered the palace, she always opposed me. My confinement in Changle Palace was worse than death. Now I want to let her taste the feeling of losing her child."

"Your Majesty, let's have two drinks." Tian Lingyue helped Meng Yuzhu sit down, and they drank happily.

Shanzhu knelt and did not dare to get up.

"I'm in a good mood today, and I think this wine is better than before." Meng Yuzhu drank and blushed.

"Perhaps I was drunk, and I felt that there was an avocado scent from Taihe Palace in this courtyard." Tian Lingyue's eyes were blurred with drunkenness.

Meng Yuzhu stood up and opened the box containing the costumes. That box was her treasure box and her tools. When she was in Nanfu, her jewelry and clothes were the most complete. There are several boxes full of equipment skins.

It's no longer what it used to be. It's no longer favored, and many things are outdated. Only these few items are still barely noticeable.

Meng Yuzhu picked a gray-blue boy's clothes and put them on. She waved her sleeves and took Tian Lingyue's hand: "Tian Guiren smelled the fragrance of avocado. Could it be that he missed the emperor? Madam - for my husband, Take a look at your clothes, whether they are good or bad."

Meng Yuzhu pretends to be a man and has a certain heroic appearance.

Tian Lingyue seemed drunk or awake, leaning on Meng Yuzhu's arms, their faces getting closer and closer.

The emperor watched their performance quietly.

He should have guessed that the common enemy was a friend, and the two of them united tightly to deal with Du Jiyan.

What he didn't expect was that the two of them actually performed CP on the spot, and there was no sense of inconsistency. He, the man, seemed superfluous.

Gao Rang's mouth could reach to his ears.

He didn't dare to look at this scene.

He secretly looked at the emperor's face and felt that he could see nothing. The emperor seemed very calm, otherwise he would be the emperor.

Over there, the imperial concubine and Tian Guiren are about to kiss. The emperor can still bear it. The emperor can bear it.

But if the two empresses really kiss, and the news spreads about the emperor's face, how can the emperor's handsome young man be so humiliated?

Gao Rang couldn't bear it anymore and secretly threw a pebble at the screen window.

"Your Majesty—" Tian Lingyue quickly pushed Meng Yuzhu away.

Meng Yuzhu came up and hugged Tian Lingyue in her arms: "My sister is crazy, okay, what do you call me the emperor?"

"No, the emperor is here."

"You are really crazy. The emperor said that you will never see me again in your life. Is it possible that he still comes to see me?"
