Chaos in the Chu Palace

Chapter 79
The queen smiled and said: "Okay! It's a scandal, but I think it's just a man's love and a woman's love. Come, invite Qin Yuyi down!"

After saying that, several palace servants invited Qin Zhi down.Seeing that her side was in a mess, the queen said a few more words of comfort, and left Yunxiang Palace only after Ouyang Ruo's mood gradually stabilized.Ouyang Ruo and Ming Ying cried for a while before entering the inner hall.

When they arrived at the inner hall, Wan Hui retreated from the servants and raised the curtain.Only then did Ouyang Ruo straighten her face, and said to Mingying, "Mingying, I have wronged you!"

Mingying also put away the crying face, and knelt in front of Ouyang Ruo, with determination on her delicate face: "Your Majesty, the servants are not wronged, and they can do their best for the Majesty. Not to mention their reputation, they want the lives of the servants, and the servants are fine."

Only then did Ouyang Ruo really cry with tears in his eyes: "My good girl. This time I really let you go out of the palace with such a disgraceful reputation. Don't worry, I will definitely ask the emperor to rectify your reputation." , get married well. It is not in vain for our master and servant."

Wan Hui also wiped her tears and said: "Mingying is not wronged, the empress has already prepared a generous dowry for you, and besides, you are marrying a talent like Qin Yuyi, so you will definitely be able to stand out in the future." I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Ming Ying crawled up to Ouyang Ruo with a few steps on her knees, hugged her leg and cried: "Your Majesty, you have protected us all the way from Huadi, and now I can do something for my Majesty, I am willing. But from now on, I can't The servants, especially the little Diji, don't know if they will be able to see each other in the future. When this servant thinks about it, it hurts like a needle prick..."

She burst into tears after speaking.

Ouyang Ruo and Wan Hui were both crying, and the three of them were crying together. Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and De Xuan came in. Seeing that the three of them were crying too much for themselves, they finally persuaded them and said, "Your maidservant saw it, and the imperial physician of Qin was taken away by him." The Queen's people led to the side hall of Fengyi Palace. The Queen followed afterward. Your Majesty, this is half done."

Ouyang Ruo wiped away tears, and faced Mingying and Wanhui face to face, the eyes of the three were both surprised and happy.Wan Hui hesitated and said: "Madam, now we can see whether Qin Yuyi can succeed. If not, he is also dangerous."

Ming Ying stood up, her red and swollen eyes were full of firmness and confidence: "He can do it! If he can't do it..." She paused, her eyes were determined: "If he can't do it, at worst, I will go to the underworld with him Be a ghost couple!"

Ouyang Ruo was taken aback for a moment, tears fell from his eyes again.

A few days later, Ouyang Ruo begged Chu Huotian to marry Ming Ying to Qin Zhi, and such a farce-like incident was finally calmed down.

On the day Mingying got married, Ouyang Ruo accompanied a lot of dowry, and said in front of everyone: "In this way, our master and servant will be exhausted. You have done a lot of work in taking care of the little emperor, but you have also been deceived by Yunxiang Palace." Shame, this is over, from now on you will pass through your Yangguan Road, and I will cross the single-plank bridge of my palace. Old and dead will never see each other again!"

Ming Ying also cried until she was wearing her make-up, kowtowed a few times, put on her wedding dress, was carried out by the palace servants, and finally left Chu Palace.

With the long wind blowing, she married very quietly, and when she lifted the curtain, she could still see Ouyang Ruo standing quietly at the palace gate and watching.Mingying's tears fell down again, dripping on the pink wedding dress.In the distance, at the gate of the palace, Qin Zhi was wearing a bright red groom's robe, riding a skinny horse.When her sedan chair arrived outside the palace, it was taken over by the bearer outside the palace. Suddenly, firecrackers blew, and amidst the broken cannons flying all over the sky, his eyes were gentle, as if he had been waiting for her here for countless lives.

Ouyang Ruo once wished her, "May I have a person with one heart and one heart, and hold hands and share a white head"

Ming Ying squeezed the apple in her hand, finally a smile appeared on her tearful face.

Because of that scandal, Ouyang Ruo didn't go to the empress's place to say hello and morning for a few days, but stayed in Yunxiang Palace every day to raise her baby. He also used Imperial Physician Qin to take her pulse.

Ouyang Ruo sighed to the person who came: "Please go back and tell the empress, the concubine has already broken up with Ming Yingen, and seeing the imperial doctor Qin will only add to the sadness. Although he has the desire to conceive a child for the concubine En, but for doing such a thing, the concubine also hates him in her heart, so please send another imperial doctor over here, the empress. In short, in this life, the concubine does not want to see the imperial physician Qin."

The visitor hurried back to report to the empress.The queen sighed softly when she heard this, and then ordered the experienced and prudent Tai Physician Wu to take her pulse, and also ordered someone to send a message to Ouyang Ruo to let her have a good rest.

Ouyang Ruo obeyed the queen's words, and scattered around every day, and even didn't like to go to Shanglin Garden.If you have free time, go to Lin's side, or go to Xu's side to visit Xiao Diji.She also went to Zhang Fang and Zhang Xiaoyi to sit and relax. She is the younger sister of Jing Zhaoyi and Zhang Qiu.After several rounds, I also feel that she is also cute and stupid sometimes.

She quietly let go of half of her heart, and she sent Dexuan to inquire about the news every day, but Dexuan somehow managed to find a servant by the queen's side, so the source of the news was very reliable.

When Dexuan came over one day, Ouyang Ruo was gesturing with Wanhui on several pieces of muslin cloth, discussing how to cut them into children's clothes, and said what to do with the corners if there were any leftovers.

Ouyang Ruo saw that Dexuan was smiling all over his face, put down the cloth in his hand, wiped off his sweat, and was helped by Dexuan to sit on the couch.Wan Hui knew that they had something to talk about, so she dismissed everyone.

Seeing that there was no one around, Dexuan laughed in a low voice and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress is ordering the Imperial Physician Qin to prescribe a prescription for her. I think I will not give up this little hope."

Ouyang Ruo shook his hands, paused, calmly took the cold ice bowl on the table, and took a sip: "No matter how good someone else's child is, it's someone else's, and it's not as good as your own. The queen is crazy now Naturally, she wanted to snatch other people's children everywhere. Naturally, she was already thinking about it. Now that Imperial Physician Qin has this ability, she naturally refuses to let go of even a little hope. You know, she is only 26 this year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is in the prime of her youth. "

Dexuan nodded, then suddenly worried: "Then what if the doctor Qin treats her so that she becomes pregnant, what will happen when she is born?"

Ouyang Ruo sneered: "Princess Qin said that he had felt the empress's pulse. She hurt herself when she gave birth to the Great Concubine, and now even if she is pregnant, she will not survive until the moment of giving birth. She will be heartbroken and her body will fall again. It’s a big loss, and it can’t be recovered if you don’t raise it for a year or so. At that time, Bengong will also give birth, and she can’t snatch the child from Bengong? She will not be willing to the emperor. After all, the child will be with the emperor at that time. I have feelings."

Dexuan nodded, and said again: "Then why didn't the empress ask the emperor about this early in the morning, and kept it a secret from the emperor, besides, the emperor has a deep affection for the empress, as long as the empress speaks, the emperor will definitely agree to the empress' request .”

Ouyang Ruo sighed, stood up, supported his arm and walked towards the corridor at the back of the hall. With the sound of water wheels, the roses planted next to him were watered with a deep green color like ink.

Ouyang Ruo glanced at it, only to feel that the water vapor was rushing towards his face, carrying the breath of green grass.She laughed and said, "What kind of person does Dexuan think the emperor is?"

Dexuan shook his head quickly: "This servant dare not talk about the emperor."

Ouyang Ruo glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's okay, there is no one around, so you can talk about it."

Dexuan Sifu took a moment to respectfully say: "The emperor is a true hero, with great talent and great strategy, with a big gap in his chest. He is not an ordinary person."

Only then did Ouyang Ruo sigh: "Yes, he is a man who is more like an emperor than an emperor."

That's why she was afraid. She was not afraid that he would not be able to protect herself and the child. She was afraid that he would have other thoughts and release the child to the queen. That would be the worst thing.

"You are also from here. You also saw that the former queen Wang locked all the wives, concubines and children in the Hou's mansion in the palace. Can you see that he frowned? If it weren't for General Su..." Ouyang Ruo paused, "Will If it wasn’t for him sending General Su to pick up Bengong and Wanfei Lin’s family from Chujing, it’s hard to guarantee that Bengong and Lin’s family would also be imprisoned.”

"But from this matter, you know that his heart is as hard as a stone, and his heart is only on the emperor's hegemony. There is also the eldest prince, the second prince, can you see that the emperor is more distracted to take care of him?" Ouyang Ruo said lightly.

Although she was his bedside person, she still didn't quite understand his thoughts.But she has witnessed Chu Huotian's indifferent affection for his son.If the first prince is stubborn, it's fine if he doesn't like it, but the second prince has just been born, so he doesn't necessarily like it much.Not to mention the little Di Ji born to the Great Di Ji and Li Yinghong.Ouyang Ruo's Lin Xiang has also been able to talk and dance in the past year, and he only occasionally praised a few words.

Relying on the sky and the earth, Ouyang Ruo never thought of relying on Chu Huotian in this matter.Besides, she has been in the palace for so long, so she naturally knows how powerful the queen is.If she begged Chu Huotian to keep her child by her side to raise, it would be tantamount to seriously offending the empress.The child grows from a baby to an adult, and all of this is under the eyes of the queen. If she can protect her child for a while, can she really protect him forever?
She is just a subjugated concubine, and it is even more impossible for her to be favored to finally sit on the queen's position.She has always been self-aware, so she can only endure and endure.But now it all depends on what Qin Zhi does.

If he fails... Ouyang Ruo couldn't help but clenched her plain fist, the wound from that day was still aching, reminding her how much her heart ached at that time.

If Qin Zhi fails, it's no wonder she made another ruthless move!Ouyang Ruo looked at the garden full of summer scenery, feeling as cold as winter in his heart.

In the harem, there are no secrets to speak of. The matter of the queen's pregnancy gradually spread in the palace over time, but no one dared to bring it up to the public.Ouyang Ruo just smiled and didn't say a word. After five days, she went to the empress's middle palace to pay her respects.The empress treated her as warmly as before, but the smile in her eyes was a little more perfunctory.

Ouyang Ruo didn't care, he only looked around for no one, and then hesitantly said: "Empress, my concubine heard that there is a rumor in the palace that the Qin imperial doctor is asking for the pulse of the empress..."

She carefully glanced at the queen, who held the jujube tea in her hand, took a sip, and said, "No, it's just arranged by the imperial hospital for this empress, just asking for a safe pulse. If this empress doesn't use her, all the future Who in the palace would dare to use him again? Didn’t he ruin his future? Later, I asked him about it. That day he was just messing with Mingying, it wasn’t true... Alas... After all, It's all a mess, and I can only be that bad guy in the future."

Only then did Ouyang Ruo seem relieved and said with a smile: "Let's just talk about the concubine. Why would the queen ask those people to ask for the pulse of the queen? Although he is good at medicine, he also cured the infertility for the concubine and concubine Wan." symptoms, but in the end it is not at ease. The queen has to be careful."

The queen gave a grunt through her nose and stopped talking.Ouyang Ruo saw that she looked unfriendly, and quickly smiled again: "But the concubine is also surprised, the empress's complexion is much ruddy. I really don't know if it is the Qin imperial doctor's credit."

The queen touched her smooth and delicate complexion when she heard the words, and said with a smug smile: "Yes, in the past few days, people around me have said that I am a few years younger. It seems that Imperial Physician Qin is really talented. According to Ben Look later, sister Ouyang, don't hold grudges against him either. Isn't that just giving him a girl for nothing? Just find another girl to top her."

Ouyang Ruo said with a bitter face: "Forget it, but the concubine made up her mind not to look at him again, as soon as she saw him, she remembered that the concubine humiliated the entire Yunxiang Palace because of the scandal he committed."

The queen chatted with her for a few more words, and suddenly said that she was tired, so she ordered her to retreat.

When Ouyang Ruo turned around, he suddenly smelled a scent of medicine. It turned out that it was time for the Queen to take medicine.She thought she didn't want to see her taking medicine, so she hurriedly sent her out.

Ouyang Ruo sneered, and Dexuan helped him onto the chariot.Halfway there, she saw Mrs. Xu sitting in a gazebo in the garden on one side. She saw Ouyang Ruo from a distance, and whispered some instructions to the palace servant beside her, and Ouyang Ruo saw the palace servant coming to invite her.Ouyang Ruo understood in his heart, so he got off his shoulders and walked slowly over.

Mrs. Xu wore a long coral red dress, with a bun on her head, and her pair of phoenix eyes looked extraordinarily majestic against the backdrop of this dress.

Ouyang Ruo saw that she had no makeup on her face, her expression was calm, and she didn't know what she was thinking.He smiled and went forward to ask for a little peace: "The concubine respectfully invites Xu Xiuyuan Jinan!"

Xu gave her a hand, looked at her a few times, and suddenly said with a smile that was not a smile: "Now Rou Fangyi is really looking more and more unparalleled. I really can't see through you."

Ouyang Ruo pretended not to hear, and stepped forward to look at Little Diji. At this time, she was lying in Xu's arms very quietly, her face was flushed, she occasionally opened her small eyes and turned around before falling asleep again.Seeing that she was only looking at Little Di Ji, Mrs. Xu ordered someone to go down to serve tea and refreshments.

Ouyang Ruo smiled and teased Xiao Di Ji again, squeezed her little hands, and touched her little feet. Mrs. Xu frowned and refused to let her touch her again. She turned around and handed it to the nurse, and said slightly annoyed to Ouyang Ruo: " You made her sleep."

Ouyang Ruo looked up with a smile, stopped teasing the little Diji, and said with a smile: "Why? Xu Xiuyuan is so precious to the little Diji, why can't he even touch her?"

Xu still frowned and said, "If you touch her for so long, you will disturb her to sleep."

Ouyang Ruo took the handkerchief and gently fanned the heat on the fan, and sighed: "It's really hot, I don't know if little Diji will get prickly heat if she wraps it so tightly."

Mrs. Xu glared at her, then turned around and asked the wet nurse to carry her back to the palace, carefully unwrapping her so as not to heat her up.

Seeing her so nervous, Ouyang Ruo just smiled and watched.At this time, there were no outsiders in the pavilion.

Seeing her smiling strangely, Mrs. Xu suddenly turned cold: "Look at what you've done, a good imperial physician from Qin forced you to go to that witch's side, and now that old witch still wants to grow pearls from old mussels. Then we'll see if you can laugh or not."

Ouyang Ruo couldn't help "puchi" when she heard her say "old mussels make pearls", laughing so hard that she even spit tea.

Mrs. Xu snorted: "Laugh. You can just laugh hard. I really don't know what your head is doing. Isn't it just a girl, you can get angry with that stinky man and make you feel as deep as a sea of ​​hatred."

Ouyang Ruo stopped laughing, quietly blew the tea leaves in the teacup, and suddenly said: "If one day, sister Xu's little emperor is robbed, what if you are not allowed to raise my sister?"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she slapped the stone table with a "slap" and raised her eyebrows angrily, "Who dares to think that way! Auntie, I'll tear her up!" She spoke very loudly, and the palace servants below began to look around.

Ouyang Ruo pressed her to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, why take it seriously. But this little Di Ji was not born by sister Xu, why are you so nervous!"

Xu snorted: "This is my child, who dares to take it away!"

Ouyang Ruo sighed softly: "Then it's over. Sister Xu regards children who are not born by herself as treasures. If they are born by herself, if someone wants to snatch them away, why don't you fight her with your life? Although my sister is not talented, she is also willing to give birth to her." If she wants to keep her own child, if she wants a child, let her have a child, so as not to come and snatch my child in the end."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu's eyes widened immediately, and she said after a while, "So that's it! You, you...you actually did this for...that's why you did these things?!"

Ouyang Ruo looked at her with a smile, took a sip of tea, stared at her with clear beautiful eyes and said slowly: "The concubine didn't do anything, sister Xu, don't wrong the concubine, everything is just the empress herself. I just want to get pregnant again. It has nothing to do with my concubine!"

Mrs. Xu looked at her for a long while, then laughed and went to pinch her pink face: "You ghost girl, you are pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. I see that you are the only one in the whole palace who thinks so much, you can even think of this! "

Ouyang Ruo avoided her Lushan's claws, looked around, and sighed quietly: "What can I do? I can't just watch her rob my child."

Mrs. Xu stopped laughing, and nodded: "That old temptress' methods are vicious. Don't say she wants your child, even if she wants your life, it will be a matter of time. It's better to stop future troubles like this. But then again, that Can Qin Zhi really cure her infertility?"

Ouyang Ruo picked up the round fan on the stone table, shook it distractedly, and said after a while: "It's up to him."

There was a bitter smile in Xu's beautiful eyes: "That old temptress..." She stopped talking.

Ouyang Ruo naturally knew the hatred in her heart, why did Xu not know when she was more than one month pregnant?If it wasn't for the doctor who ordered the mansion to hide it from her, who would have such extraordinary ability?
Ouyang Ruo shook her cold hand, then said goodbye and left.When she returned to Yunxiang Palace, she was still disturbed, so she had to take the Buddhist scriptures given to her by Zen Master Rongde. Only then did she know the reason why the queen was so sincere to the Buddha.It turned out that she had too many murders in her hands, and she couldn't sleep peacefully day and night. How could she be peaceful if she didn't read some Buddhist scriptures to eliminate killing karma?

And now?Will I also follow her path?Ouyang Ruo shuddered, finally closed his eyes, and read each word silently.

In the harem, if one's heart is not cruel, one cannot live.
