Chapter 636 Principle! (3)
"It's just that you haven't eaten for three days, and you can't die. If you go to the Tai Hospital because of this, then we will probably invite everyone from the Tai Hospital here."

"It's true, she hasn't eaten for three days, and I haven't eaten for three days! I haven't seen the imperial physician yet."

"That's right, I still think of myself as the wife of the palace."

"This man! It's not good to be spoiled!"

"Oh, what do I say? I still think there's something wrong, but that's Mrs. Xiao's aunt..."

"Then what's the matter? Are you really asking for a doctor for her?"

"You don't need to ask the imperial physician, who...that Wu Si's family in Qianjie knows a little bit about medicine, let her come over and show her."

"It's fine, at least don't name people, we won't be able to explain it when the time comes."

"Okay, let's go."

Xiao Man breathed out silently, thinking that the jailers in this prison temple were quite sensible, at least no one died here casually.Taking advantage of the time when the guards were eating, Xiao Man quietly ran to the back to hide and continue to listen to the movement in other cells.

After the meal, the jailer really brought in an old lady with medical skills to see Mrs. Xiao inside.Xiao Man quietly leaned in to listen to the old woman's diagnosis, and then sneaked out in the dark to return to Dajue Temple.

Han Qian was sitting alone under the plum tree in the Zen courtyard, listening to Han Jin reading Buddhist scriptures to her. The plum tree was full of flowers, and the light pink petals were like piled snowflakes, gently swaying in the wind under the moonlight. Exudes a faint sweet fragrance.

Xiao Man's figure silently appeared in the yard, startling Han Jin, and almost throwing the scriptures in his hand.

"It's okay, Jin'er, it's getting late, you go back and rest." Han Qian smiled.

"Yes." Han Jin arranged the Buddhist scriptures and put them on the kang table next to him, got up and gave Han Qian a deep blessing: "Your Majesty, please rest earlier, Jin'er is leaving."

Han Qian nodded, watched her leave the monastery, pointed to the seat in front of her, and told Xiao Man, "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, ma'am." Xiao Man sat down on the seat in front of Han Jin, and without waiting for Han Qian's order, she took a sip of the herbal tea in front of her and replied in a low voice, "Ma'am, Xiao Lianqing is pregnant."

"Are you pregnant at this time?" Han Qian asked wonderingly.

Xiao Man nodded and replied, "It's been five months, and the food in the Prison Temple is unpalatable. She hasn't eaten for three days. Her maid begged the jailer hard, and they found a woman with medical skills." My wife came to diagnose her, and she was sure she was pregnant."

Han Qian rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, and after a long silence, he asked, "Will they report such a thing?"

"It should be, but as to whether it can be reported to His Majesty, it's hard to say." Xiao Man replied in a low voice.

"Where are the others?" Han Qian asked again.

"There is nothing unusual about the others. Concubine Heng hanged herself on the same day. Concubine Shizi was imprisoned inside, but she was already disheartened, and she was just enduring life. Before, Concubine Shou and the others were all the same, and they were already in prison. Get used to it... Oh, yes, Princess Jialan is crazy, but Princess Jiaying is quite calm."

Han Qian sneered and said, "It's not normal to be calm at this time. You need to find someone to pay more attention to her."

"Your Majesty is right, but we can't keep this matter from His Majesty." Xiao Man suggested.

"You're right, I didn't intend to keep this matter from His Majesty." Han Qian nodded and said, "However, we have to think of another way about Xiao Lianqing's pregnancy."

"My servant feels that too many people should not know about this matter," Han Qian said in a low voice.

"Yes." Xiao Man got up and went forward, walked up to Han Qian and squatted down, while pinching her back, she said in a low voice, "Mother, this matter is actually not too troublesome."

"Tell me." Han Qian whispered.

"Although the sinners of the royal family are imprisoned in the Prison God Temple, not everyone has a noble status. There are also maids and concubines who are closely guarded. For example, the two maids around Xiao Lianqing are all imprisoned with her. Together. The lives of these people are not so important in the eyes of those jailers."

"Yes." Han Qian nodded, motioning for Xiao Man to continue.

"Actually, we can tamper with their meals. Anyway, Xiao Lianqing is not in good health. If she dies inexplicably, it's not surprising."

Han Qian's eyes lit up, and he looked up at Xiao Man: "But, it's easy to die for no reason, but it's hard to bring the dead back to life."

Xiao Man said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's not too difficult. I heard that there is a kind of medicine that can make people temporarily have no breathing and pulse, just like a dead person. But I don't know if this kind of medicine will affect the fetus. "

"It's true." Han Qian felt worried for a moment.

Just as Xiao Man was about to say something, she suddenly stopped what she was doing and stood up slowly: "There is an unexpected visitor."

"How could it be?" Han Qian frowned, thinking that there were [-] Imperial Guards and [-] Zhongyi Houfu guarding around here, who else could run in?

A figure appeared in the monastery like a ghost, and the hairs all over Han Qian's body stood on end.

"Who?!" Xiao Man tightly held the silver hairpin she had taken off in her hand.

The man stopped ten steps away, bowed and knelt down: "This subordinate is Madam Ninghou's messenger. Please forgive me for the crime of offense."

Xiao Man wanted to ask again, but Han Qian stopped him with his hand: "Okay, if he wanted to hurt Ben Gong, he would have done it long ago."

"My subordinates are terrified." The man knelt on the ground with his head lowered, and presented an envelope with both hands, "This is a letter from Mrs. Ninghou to the empress."

Xiao Man went forward to take the letter, gave the man a hard look, turned around and returned to Han Qian: "Your Majesty, letter."

Han Qian took the letter and opened it to read. There was only a few words on a piece of letter paper inside: Please spare some time to meet the Empress. The place is in the plum pavilion on the mountain behind Dajue Temple.

"I really don't know that Mrs. Ninghou is back." After reading it, Han Qian folded the letter and put it in the envelope, and said with a light smile, "Okay, you go back and tell her that I will be there at noon tomorrow."

"Yes, this subordinate will leave." The man responded and disappeared into the night like a ghost.

Xiao Man was angry in her heart, and gritted her teeth: "Who are these people, their kung fu is so weird! What is this Mrs. Ninghou trying to do?"

Han Qian smiled lightly and said, "It's okay. She won't harm us. Besides, if she wants to harm us, she won't use this method." A person with peerless medical skills would probably have a hundred ways to kill someone. The method makes people unconscious, and assassination by force is the most unwise.

That night, Xiao Man stayed up all night full of worries, and when she woke up the next morning, her eyes were a little blue.
