Resourceful beauty

Chapter 341
"Pearl, Pearl..."

Brother Ming's Nunuuo calling came to her ears, but Fang Ruxuan felt that her eyelids were unspeakably heavy, she only frowned slightly, and the voice disappeared instantly, as if it was just a thought, Fang Ruxuan fell asleep again past.

When I woke up again, the sun was already shining outside, and it was probably afternoon.

Beside him, the baby in the swaddle was sleeping soundly with his fists clenched, and when he moved his head again, he saw Brother Ming sleeping next to the swaddle.

A pair of sons and daughters with similar eyebrows and eyes, lying so quietly beside her at this moment, Fang Ruxuan only felt an indescribable fullness in her heart, which made her feel unprecedentedly satisfied.

"woke up?"

Soft words came from the window, Fang Ruxuan looked up, and saw Chu Yuan smiling softly, putting down the scroll in his hand and walking over.

Carefully lifted Fang Ruxuan to lie on her back, and stuffed a soft pillow behind her. Chu Yuan walked to the brocade table and took the warm brown sugar water, fed Fang Ruxuan to drink it in one gulp, and then asked with a smile: " Do you want something to eat?"

Fang Ruxuan shook her head, "I feel like I've slept enough and have no appetite."

Chu Yuan didn't force himself, smiled, followed Fang Ruxuan's gaze and lowered his head, watching the pair of children tenderly.

"She looks so good..."

Talking softly, Chu Yuan stretched out his hand to touch his daughter's small face, and then squeezed her small fist, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

Unable to restrain himself, Chu Yuan brought up the incident when Fang Ruxuan gave birth to brother Ming.

"When I came back, you were already very bad. At that time, my mind was blank. I only thought about what I would do in the days to come without you. For several days, I guarded you without daring to move. I'm afraid that if I turn around, if I don't look at you, you will leave me."

"Concubine Mu asked Ding Xiang to hold the baby for me to see. To be honest, I only saw it once, but I didn't feel anything at all."

"But since you gave birth to Mingzhu yesterday, every time I see brother Ming and Mingzhu, and see you sleeping peacefully on the bed, I feel that my heart is filled with a sense of fullness that I have never had before. Xuan Son, thank you, thank you for always being by my side, thank you for giving me such happiness."

The words were full of tenderness, Chu Yuan spoke softly, and held Fang Ruxuan's hand that was extended.

"fool……"

Fang Ruxuan groaned softly, raised her hand, and pressed Chu Yuan's hand to her cheek, "As you said, no matter what time we are, we are always together. With you and a child, how could I be willing to leave so easily? "

The husband and wife were enjoying this rare happiness and sweetness. Next to him, Brother Ming woke up at some point, but rolled his eyes and didn't make a sound. I feel a little embarrassed.

Chu Yuan scratched Brother Ming's nose, "What did you say when you got up early? Why are you not talking now?"

"Mom, I want a pearl..."

As if remembering, Brother Ming got up, looked at Fang Ruxuan eagerly and prayed.

Fang Ruxuan looked at Chu Yuan with a puzzled face, and saw him explain with a suppressed smile: "The wet nurse has taken her out to feed her milk several times, and he thought that Mingzhu, like Qianqian, doesn't live in the East Palace, so I beg you, put The pearl was given to him."

Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but nodded and said, "Okay, that mother gave you my sister. You are a brother. You have to take good care of my sister, don't make her cry, and protect her, understand?"

His eyes were wide open, as if he didn't expect his parents to agree to his request so quickly. Brother Ming nodded again and again, and then looked at the baby who was still sleeping soundly in the swaddle. The treasure in his eyes was exactly what Chu Yuan said. A feeling of "beads like treasures".

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, their eyebrows and eyes were full of warmth.

Mingzhu was born on March 22. During the three baptism ceremonies, congratulatory gifts were sent from everywhere, but only Concubine Han Gui entered the Hall of Xuanyi and talked to Fang Ruxuan for a while.

That day, Ming Geer was given a rare safety lock, but this time Ming Zhu was given a red gold wreath necklace, and at the bottom of the necklace hung a jade pendant inlaid with gold, carved into the shape of a lotus.

As soon as the brocade box was opened, it was radiant and dazzling, even Brother Ming, who had been keeping his eyes on Mingzhu, was distracted for a moment.

"The crown prince is blessed, and my palace is also blessed. Not to mention having a grandson, now I have a granddaughter. This was given by my mother when I was in Jiji. I wanted to give it to you when I came to Japan, but it was delayed by accident. , now it’s just right, so let’s give it to Mingzhu.”

With a gentle smile, Concubine Han handed the brocade box to Ding Xiang, and then hugged the baby.

Brother Ming also stood up from the bed, grabbed Concubine Han's shoulders, and jumped out in three or two words, describing to Concubine Han the stupidity of Mingzhu's lethargy.

Concubine Han at this moment does not have the noble and awe-inspiring appearance of the past. Her gentle expression and softened eyebrows make her look like an ordinary woman who has become a grandmother in an ordinary family, with a sense of intimacy all over her body.

Fang Ruxuan looked at the picture in front of her, and couldn't bear to look away.

After Concubine Han left, Mu Mian came in, and when the wet nurses coaxed Mingge away and Mingzhu away, Mu Mian said, "Your maidservant has visited all over the past few days. I haven't found anything in Chongxi Palace, but , Concubine Fang’s Lanyue Pavilion found a few boxes of incense. Looking at the boxes, it seems that they were made in the palace, and they didn’t flow in from the outside.”

"Did you tell His Highness?"

Fang Ruxuan lay down in a comfortable position and talked to Kapok.

Kapok nodded, "There are a lot of incense, and if there is a little less, it will not attract Concubine Fang's attention, so I brought some back and handed it over to His Highness. His Highness said, when the ingredients of the incense are found out, probably There is the next step.”

Although it is not yet clear how King Yao was poisoned, it is still beneficial to clarify the existing clues one by one. Maybe one day there will be a special discovery.

Thinking so, Fang Ruxuan told Kapok, "Then these days, you can follow His Highness's arrangement. If there is nothing wrong, you can leave the palace and go to the other garden."

Mu Mian shook her head, "At the Tianji Building, Xiao Shiqi can handle it well, it doesn't matter if I'm there or not. Now that Miss is confinement, and there are so many things going on in the palace, I'd better stay by your side for peace of mind."

The two have been masters and servants for many years, but now they are more like sisters. When Mu Mian said this, Fang Ruxuan did not refuse, and replied with a smile: "Okay, then I will depend on you. When you marry someone in the future, you will probably not be as comfortable as you are now." Now, I might as well spend more time with me while I'm still free."

Kapok blushed immediately, "Even if I'm married, I'm still free. Miss's order, I will definitely be the first."

Fang Ruxuan just smiled and said nothing.

King Yao was still bedridden, resting in Qian'an Hall every day, occasionally when the sun was shining and there was no wind outside, Chu Yuan would ask Li Sheng to arrange a servant to carry the soft sedan chair and take King Yao to the imperial garden to bask in the sun.

On the other side, on the side of Queen Zhou of Fengming Palace, she had to consult the imperial physician every day, with a sad face and a look of worry about King Yao's health.

On the surface, everything was as usual, but secretly, Chu Yuan had already given up the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physician, and now the medicines King Yao drank three times a day were all extremely gentle nourishing medicines.

Although he didn't know if it would work, Chu Yuan did everything he could.

After three days of work, Mrs. Hua received a reply from the incense that was sent out of the palace.

As far as incense is concerned, there is nothing wrong with it, but if it is combined with other incense, it has a psychedelic effect and lifts people's spirits.

When hearing what Chu Yuan said, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "So, that incense can't poison the father, but just make him more indulgent?"

Chu Yuan shook his head, "Mrs. Hua also said that the more incense you mix, the more effective it will be. Just like Wushi powder, there is no big problem if you take a small amount, but if you take too much, it will make you feel sick. People think that the gods are cheerful and their physical strength has increased, but in fact, a lot of toxins have accumulated in their bodies."

Fang Ruxuan couldn't help thinking that when Concubine Fang used to go to bed, she was often with noblemen Yugui and nobleman Rou. Later, when King Yao went to the palace, there were noblemen Ming, nobleman Yu and nobleman beside her.

That said, the direction of the current thorough investigation is not wrong.

As if thinking of what Fang Ruxuan was thinking, Chu Yuan said in a deep voice: "My father often uses dragon birthday incense, and the kinds of incense they wear are all made with dragon birthday incense. I have to say, The person behind this is really delicate.”

The person who poisoned him probably didn't expect that someone would associate King Yao's lingering sickness with poisoning. The sleeping concubine, through his breath, settled into his body one by one.

"Then who do you think is the poisoner?"

Fang Ruxuan originally suspected that it was the Queen of Zhou. After all, it was King Yong who wanted to get rid of Chu Yuan eagerly, get rid of King Yao, and successfully ascend the throne. However, as far as Chu Yuan and Mu Mian have found out now, the only one who is good at making incense in the palace is Concubine Jing. , but how could Concubine Jing go to help King Yong instead of her own son King Rui?

But if it was Concubine Jing, how could Concubine Jing join forces with Concubine Fang?
Whether it is Concubine Fang or Ming Guiren, these people are all attached to Queen Zhou. What's more, Concubine Fang is dedicated to the sake of King Yong and wants her son to become the future prince.

I just felt that these people were tightly entwined like a ball of twine, and Fang Ruxuan felt a little confused.

"How about the Marquis of Chang'an, is there any progress?"

Fang Ruxuan had doubts about Lu Rufei's close connection with the Chang'an Marquis Mansion secretly, and which side the Chang'an Marquis Mansion was on, and she always wanted to find out.

Mu Mian shook her head, "In a while, I'm afraid it won't be so fast. Most of the aristocratic families in Shangyang City support a certain prince with a clear-cut stand, but only the Marquis of Chang'an, whose young ladies are all married to King Xuan, are always It's like standing on a neutral surface, impartial, so it's really hard to start."

"They want to sell it for a price..."

Fang Ruxuan said with a smile.
