Resourceful beauty

Chapter 226 Dangerous
It was the end of April, and the air was already a little bit warm. Even though the window in front of her was half open, Fang Ruxuan still felt that the aroma in the hall made her a little uncomfortable.

And the armchair she was sitting under, although it was covered with soft cushions, felt a faint chill, which made her stomach feel cold after only sitting for a while, making her feel even more uncomfortable.

Looking around, in the middle of the main hall where you are at the moment, behind the square huanghuali table, there are people sitting in armchairs playing cards, surrounded by several concubines, each sitting on a round stool, other than that, there is only the upper one. The soft couch was still empty, it was impossible for Fang Ruxuan to sit there.

What's more, even if she could go to sit on the soft couch, there was Chu Xiu in front of her, and Fang Ruxuan couldn't stand the strong scent of incense emanating from her sleeves and body.

Looking around, Fang Ruxuan found that there seemed to be no place for her to sit except here by the window, or she had to find a place to stand all the time.

Looking back at the chair under the eaves of the porch outside the door, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but smile wryly: she is a dignified princess, but she has been reduced to the point where she has no choice but to sit outside the door.

Even though she was thinking about it, the air outside is better, so she doesn't have to suffer here any more. Fang Ruxuan stood up and was about to go out when Chu Xiu's voice came from behind, "Prince Princess, please sit in the palace and wait for the queen mother to come back and invite you to come back." In order to be safe, the princess can go back and rest. Otherwise, if I play cards here, I will tell the princess to sit outside in a boring way, and spread the word, as if I am so mean to be an elder sister."

In a word, Fang Ruxuan was blocked from retreating.

Fang Ruxuan smiled, "Could it be that the eldest princess is still worried that I won't be able to leave? The afternoon sun is just right, and I will come back after going for a walk in the yard. I will definitely not be rude in front of the queen."

After all, without looking at Chu Xiu again, Fang Ruxuan went straight out the door.

Walking in the courtyard, there were two maidservants looking up from time to time at the entrance of the palace. Fang Ruxuan just thought it was ridiculous. Behind her, Sangsan said in a low voice: "The maidservant said to go back to the palace, but they won't allow it. It’s better not to be separated from people around you, so as not to be ineffective in manipulating them.”

"Want to put us under house arrest?"

Mulberry leaf raised her eyebrows and looked at Sangshen.

With the abilities of these two people, it would be a breeze to protect Fang Ruxuan and leave Fengming Palace, but Chu Xiu grandly invited Fang Ruxuan by leaving the palace, and said that she would pay all the courtesy to Queen Zhou. Going back again, if Fang Ruxuan insisted on leaving, the rumors would definitely intensify later.

When a person goes all out without regard for face, that is the most terrifying time for that person, and Chu Xiu at this moment is like this.

Fang Ruxuan sighed, looked back at the main hall of Fengming Palace, and sighed in a low voice: "I don't know when the queen will come back."

Sangshen shook her head, was stunned for a moment, then turned to ask Sang Ye, "Is it April 26 today?"

Seeing that Sang Ye nodded, Sang Shen frowned and looked at Fang Ruxuan and said in a low voice: "April 26 is the death day of the late king. After so many years, although there is no need to worship in the palace, but every year on this day, the queen They will take people to Fengxian Hall to chant scriptures and pray for blessings, and if there are not two or three hours, I am afraid they will not be able to come back."

"Who else will go but the queen?"

Fang Ruxuan seemed to understand Chu Xiu's intentions today.

Sure enough, Sangshen replied: "In previous years, it was the empress and empress who brought the fourth concubine there."

Fang Ruxuan did not expect that Chu Xiu would be such a person who would take revenge.

Thinking about it, it was because she knew that Queen Zhou, Concubine Han Shu and others were going to pay homage to the former king and would not be back in a short time, so Chu Xiu asked herself to go back after Queen Zhou came back and invited Ann.

Waiting for two or three hours is enough to make me feel depressed for a while.

It's just that she declined her invitation, she is going to embarrass herself in front of everyone like today, she really has a very small mind.

Rebuking in a low voice with disdain in her heart, Fang Ruxuan groaned in pain, and put one hand on her lower abdomen, hoping that the child in her belly would be safe.

There were soft footsteps nearby, and a servant girl walked quickly and said, "Crown Princess, the Eldest Princess said that you are pregnant and should not bask in the sun. Please go back to the main hall and sit down."

Such a strong Chu Xiu, I don't know what it's like in the eldest princess's mansion, and how the son-in-law endured her.

Fang Ruxuan walked into the East Side Hall, and sat in the armchair by the window again. After a while, the cold and uncomfortable feeling came back again.

Neither standing nor sitting, at this moment Fang Ruxuan really felt what it means to be in a dilemma.

After less than half an hour, Fang Ruxuan got up again, but stood closer to the window, her fingers grasping the edge of the window, and on the back of her hand, she could vaguely see the blue veins.

In the hall, although her eyes were on the cards in her hand, Chu Xiu would pay attention to Fang Ruxuan's actions from time to time. Seeing that she was restless at the moment, Chu Xiu's smile deepened.

"Master, why don't we go back, your complexion is very bad."

Mulberry walked up to Fang Ruxuan, looked at her with concern, and said, "That day, the empress promised you to come to greet her once in ten days. How can you say, today's day has not yet come. Although the eldest princess deliberately keeps people, but in the end you have Pregnant, urgent matters."

Fang Ruxuan shook her head, "If I leave, I left just now, and I will leave now. When the queen comes back, I don't know what she will say."

While speaking, a somewhat unfamiliar maidservant appeared at the gate of Fengming Palace, about eleven or twelve years old, with bright eyes, very pleasing to look at.

At the entrance of Dongpei Hall, the little palace maid bowed her knees and blessed the palace maid standing outside the door politely, "This sister, the servant is from Zhaoqi Palace. If there is something to meet the eldest princess, I would like to trouble my sister to pass it on to the servant. "

When the maidservant laughed, two dimples appeared on the sides of her cheeks, which were indescribably cute.

The maidservant at the door nodded, opened the curtain and went in, then came out in an instant and said, "Go in."

After entering the hall, the maidservant leaned over to say hello to the masters. Seeing that Fang Ruxuan was standing far away, she went to the front to salute, and did not walk up to Chu Xiu until all the greetings were completed, and said, "Six The prince got a good painting, but he couldn't tell whether it was the real one or a fake one. So His Highness sent his servants to inquire, not knowing when the son-in-law will be free, the sixth prince wants to come to ask for advice."

A word of humility, and a very low posture, gave Chu Xiu and the son-in-law enough face, Chu Xiu smiled and replied: "Go back and tell your highness, if he is in a hurry, he will go to the Imperial Academy to find the son-in-law. If not , Three days later, the son-in-law Muxiu will be at home, and he is welcome to come to the Princess Mansion as a guest."

"Yes, slaves obey."

After saluting, the maidservant turned around and walked away without looking at Fang Ruxuan.

Although she felt a little strange, Fang Ruxuan didn't think much about it.

The wind outside the hall was sunny, and the hall was full of laughter, but Fang Ruxuan felt that she seemed to be in an ice cave, her limbs were cold, and her lower abdomen was as heavy as lead.

When it was on the verge of falling, outside the palace gate, there was a voice from the servant: "Ms. Concubine Shu is here..."

Fang Ruxuan's spirit froze: The savior is here.

Sure enough, Concubine Han Shu came straight to the East Side Hall, entered the hall and saw Fang Ruxuan standing at the window with a pale complexion, she frowned involuntarily.

As early as when they heard the voice transmission, there was no movement on the card table. When Concubine Han Shu came in, Chu Xiu and the others got up and saluted.

Looking past Fang Ruxuan, Chu Xiu stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Didn't the concubine Shu go to Fengxian Hall with the queen mother? Why did you leave so early today?"

That's what Chu Xiu said, but what Chu Xiu meant was that Concubine Han Shu came to ask her teacher for Fang Ruxuan's sake.

Concubine Han Shu smiled, "Today is the anniversary of the death of the late king, and this palace is also in the Fengxian Hall. I just remembered that the crown princess was married for the first time, so she should go to pay homage to the deceased emperor's grandfather. Although there is now It's not good to be pregnant and kneel for too long, but incense sticks are always available, so I sent someone to the East Palace to invite, but unexpectedly, the person who answered this time said that the Crown Princess is not here."

"So, Concubine Shu found it here?"

Chu Xiu looked suspiciously.

"What does the eldest princess think?"

After asking a question, Concubine Han Shu turned around and said to Fang Ruxuan, "Princess Concubine and I will go to Fengxian Hall, it will be bad if it is too late."

In front of Concubine Han Shu, Fang Ruxuan always acted very well-behaved, as if Concubine Han Shu was her mother-in-law, so Fang Ruxuan respectfully followed Concubine Han Shu out of the house, and everyone did not find it strange.

On the other hand, Chu Xiu's half-believing gaze didn't calm down until the curtain fell.

"How are you, can you hold on?"

Just looking at Fang Ruxuan's pale face and bloodless lips, one could tell that she must be very uncomfortable at the moment. Concubine Han Shu glanced at the sedan chair parked at the entrance of Fengming Palace, and hesitated.

He wanted to take Fang Ruxuan to Fengxian Hall to kowtow and offer incense, but he was afraid that she would not be able to hold on. If she didn't go, she would not be able to turn around after what she said in Dongbei Hall just now.

Fang Ruxuan nodded, "Concubine Mu, I can do it, let's go to Fengxian Hall first."

After going back and forth, Fang Ruxuan felt her body stiffen when she saw the gate of the East Palace again, which made her a little bit painful.

Fortunately, Concubine Han Shu had already seen that she was uncomfortable, and ordered her servants to carry the soft sedan directly to Xuanyi Hall.

After entering the main hall, she saw that Qin imperial physician was already waiting here, thinking that Concubine Han Shu had sent someone to order in advance, Fang Ruxuan was even more grateful in her heart, but she didn't bother to thank her, so she was dragged into the inner hall by Mulberry and Mulberry Ye.

When Imperial Physician Qin checked the pulse again, his complexion was much more serious than the previous few days.

"The Crown Princess has been in contact with Musk today?"

Withdrawing his hand, Imperial Physician Qin asked Fang Ruxuan?
Fang Ruxuan shook her head hesitantly, "The east side hall of Fengming Palace has a strong fragrance, and I don't know if there is any musk in it."

Imperial Physician Qin glanced back at Concubine Han Shu who was sitting not far away, and said with a heavy face: "It doesn't matter if you just smell some musk, but besides that, the Crown Princess has also come into contact with cold objects. , a little palace cold."

The two-month-old child is so fragile, if the palace is cold, whether the child can be kept is another matter.

Fang Ruxuan sat up anxiously, "Mr. Qin, please think of a way."
