Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 41 Meng Jing.You are not my own son

Concubine Lan was reluctant to part with the flesh and blood in her belly, and struggled desperately, her eyes were stained scarlet, and her wrist was almost broken and dislocated.

She tried her best to avoid the potion handed to her mouth, but after all, she was no match for the four old nuns, and the thick black potion poured into her mouth without leaving a drop.

Li Zhong was satisfied, so he let the nuns loosen their grip on her.

The moment the nuns pulled away, she lost her support, and as soon as her bones softened, she slid down...

She lay on the ground in embarrassment, digging her throat with her fingers vigorously, with a painful expression on her face, but how could she spit out all the medicine in the whole bowl.

She felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, and the next moment, a burst of warm liquid flowed out from her lower body...

Lan Fei stopped digging her throat, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing her face getting paler and paler until all the blood faded, her eyelids sank and she fainted.

And under her body, the dark red blood gathered more and more...

After Li Zhong led his people away, only the servants of Yilan Palace were allowed in.

As soon as Yingyue entered the bedroom, she saw Lan Fei's miserable condition.

Her eyes were red, tears welled up quickly, her voice trembled, and while shouting "Miss", she ran towards Concubine Lan.

With all her strength, she dragged Concubine Lan from the pool of blood to the bed, crying bitterly, calling the palace servants to invite the imperial physician.

But what those palace people know how to do is to talk to Hong Dingbai, how could they listen to her, they all looked at each other, pretending that they didn't hear anything.

Yingyue was momentarily chilled to the end.

She had no choice but to let Concubine Lan go, and went out to the Yilan Hall to find the imperial physician.

But just when she let go of Concubine Lan and was about to turn around, Concubine Lan suddenly opened her eyes again, grabbed her slightly, and murmured, "Yingyue, Yingyue...don't go... ..."

"Your Majesty!" Yingyue stopped immediately when she heard Concubine Lan's call. She bent down, approached Concubine Lan, looked at her with tears in her eyes, and choked up, "Mother, what orders do you have? Listen, servants. Listen, you say..."

Concubine Lan lost a lot of blood, and she had already breathed in more air and outgassed less. She held Yingyue's hand loosely, looked at her with slack eyes, and said firmly, "I know, I probably won't make it through this calamity, you Listen, after I die, you will leave the palace immediately, and you must never stay in the palace again... Also, tell the regent that you must avenge me and my child... He and I are innocent The `clean...'

As she spoke, she fainted again.

Seeing her master's life hanging by a thread, Yingyue couldn't take it any longer, and ran out - she was going to beg the regent princess!The princess regent is the most famous goddess doctor in the capital, she must have a way to hold her master's life.

Thinking like this, the speed under her feet was unprecedentedly fast, almost comparable to the speed of the wind.

Outside the Yilan Hall, the servants from the Queen's Palace were carrying some tonics and were about to enter the Yilan Hall, but they were bumped hard before they could reach the steps.

At the same time, the clay pot in his hand came out of his hand and fell heavily to the ground.

"Bold, this is a tonic given to Lan Guiren by the empress. You girl is so abrupt, you must not be lightly forgiven! Someone, take her to Kunning Palace and hand her over to the empress!"

The leading eunuch shouted angrily, waved his hand, looked at Yingyue with an anxious face, and sternly ordered.

When Yingyue heard Wang Gonggong's words, her whole body trembled immediately, and then she fell to her knees with a plop, kowtowed vigorously and said, "Your maidservant is wrong, I beg Wang Gonggong to show you your hand, my mother is still waiting for me to give it to you." She asked the imperial physician, begging the prince to forgive me this time! Please forgive me this time!"

Hearing what she said, Wang Gonggong just sneered, "You are like a Bodhisattva crossing the river yourself, and you are in danger, but you still have the mood to miss your master. Don't worry, your master will be arranged by the empress. Think about how to plead guilty to the queen later!"

Saying yes, he asked the palace servants behind him to take Yingyue away.

Yingyue couldn't break free, so she could only pin her hope of having a child on the empress's care.

At this time, she didn't know that she had been away for three full days.

When she returned to Yilan Hall three days later, Concubine Lan's body was hardened... her whole body was cold and stiff, her eyes were wide open, lifeless and empty - she could not rest in peace.

……

The capital, the Chu residence.

After Meng Jing and Chu Ci heard the news of Concubine Lan's death, their faces were full of embarrassment.

Showing a lot of grief and indignation.

"Your Majesty, he's really deceiving people!" Chu Ci slapped the table forcefully, cursing angrily, "He's ruthless and unrighteous, and caressing about human life!"

Meng Jing pursed her lips tightly, without saying a word, her whole body was full of austerity.

Chu Ci knew that his anger and hatred were only a lot more than his own.

After calming down for a moment, he raised his hand to cover his, looked into his eyes, and said word by word, "My lord, my condolences."

Meng Jing still didn't make a sound, and after a long time, she lowered her head, gave her a slight and cold look, lifted her lips, and said word by word, "This king will not mourn, I will only let them pay with blood!"

In fact, as early as the moment Empress Ren led Emperor Jing Ming into the North Palace, he knew who was behind all this planning.

He thought that he could protect Alan by taking a step back.

But what he never expected was that the one in the Compassionate Ning Palace wanted the lives of Alan and her flesh and blood from the very beginning.

"What is the lord going to do?" Chu Ci saw the bloodthirsty light hidden in his eyes, couldn't help asking, and asked in a low voice.

Meng Jing sneered, "You will know tomorrow!"

When Chu Ci heard what he said, the curiosity in his eyes instantly retreated, he nodded silently, and said, "Okay, then I will wait for tomorrow."

The second day will come soon.

In the morning court, neither Liang Guogong nor his son came to court.

Emperor Jingming was worried about his uncle and cousin, so he couldn't help asking.

It was reported by those in the know that Liang Guogong and his son had mysteriously disappeared last night.

After hearing this, Emperor Jingming was furious and ordered the Minister of Dali Temple to investigate the case within three days.

And Dali Siqing is the regent's man.

Emperor Jingming's move can be described as insidious.

Three days later, if the minister of Dali Temple finds out the case, he will definitely pull out the carrot and bring out the mud.
But if the difference is not clear, then he, the Minister of Dali Temple, has done his best.

Dali Siqing is also an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for many years.How could you not understand this twist and turns.

Therefore, as soon as he stepped down on his front foot, he found the Prince Regent's Palace on his back foot.

In the Wangfu study, he cupped his hands, looked at Meng Jing with a troubled face, and said in a difficult voice, "Please tell me, how should I investigate this case?"

Hearing this, Meng Jing raised her head, glanced at him indifferently, and said coldly, "Naturally, we should investigate the truth, and investigate to find out the truth!"

"But..." Dali Siqing still hesitated.

Meng Jing glanced at him coldly, "Huh?" After a pause, he continued, "Could it be that you also think that the disappearance of Liang Guogong and his son has something to do with this king?"

Dali Temple Minister repeatedly said, "Don't dare, dare not! I dare not!"

"Since you don't dare, then go back and check carefully." The implication is to see off the guests.

The minister of Dali Temple saw what Meng Jing meant, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly bowed his hands in agreement, and then retreated out full of confusion.

After he left, Han Zhe came in from the outside, went around Meng Jing, and cupped his hands.Seriously, "According to the prince's order, everything that should be arranged has been arranged."

Meng Jing nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. After this time is over, I will give you a month's vacation."

"Thank you, my lord!" Han Che thanked him.

After the words fell, the two of them were speechless for a while, when suddenly Yun Hui's voice came out.

Then, the guard guarding the gate came in from the outside, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the concubine asked Miss Yunhui to come to the front yard to invite you over, saying that she has something important to discuss."

Meng Jing was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then asked, "Did you say what it is?"

A look of embarrassment appeared on the guard's face, "Miss Yunhui didn't mention this."

Meng Jing was silent for a moment, nodded with a frown, and said, "This king knows, tell Yun Hui that when the official duties in the study are over, this king will go to see the concubine mother!"

"Yes! Your lord!" The guard nodded and clasped his fists, then retreated.

Meng Jing was busy in the study for a while before processing all the official documents for today, then stood up, changed into another set of normal clothes, and then rushed towards the Hexuan Hall in the backyard.

Crane Hall.

When he arrived, Concubine Yun was sick in bed, with a cold towel on her forehead, her face was pale... At first glance, she was more than ten years older than before.

Hearing his footsteps, she sat up from the bed with difficulty, then forced a wry smile at Meng Jing, and said, "Jing'er, you are here."

Meng Jing nodded, stepped forward and bowed in salute.

Concubine Yun looked at him earnestly, grabbed his hand, and said weakly, "Jing'er, Concubine Mother never thought that after so many things happened, you would still be so filial to Concubine Mother..."

Meng Jing said lightly, "Being filial to your mother and concubine is what a son should do!"

"Hey!" Concubine Yun sighed, held his hand even tighter, and said, "You are a good boy, you used to be the mother concubine, didn't you..."

Meng Jing frowned slightly, "The concubine mother called her son, why?"

Concubine Yun hadn't played enough family cards before she was interrupted by Meng Jing, she looked embarrassed, withdrew her hand, and said, "Mother Concubine has something to ask you for."

A bad premonition welled up in Meng Jing's heart, "What's the matter, please tell me the truth!"

Concubine Yun looked at Meng Jing's expression, coughed lightly, and then said, "This matter is about Chunxiao..."

Hearing the word Chunxiao, Meng Jing frowned even tighter.

Concubine Yun sighed deeply again, held his hand again, sighed, and said helplessly, "You also know that my concubine suffers from tuberculosis and won't live long... We mother and son have been dependent on each other for so many years, concubine mother I never asked you for anything else, now, I only ask you for this one thing, and you will marry Chunxiao, okay?"

Looking at Concubine Yun's pleading eyes, Meng Jing felt a strong sense of irritability rising from the bottom of his heart. He glanced at Concubine Mother on the bed apologetically, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Concubine Mother, my son can't do it." !"

Concubine Yun stared at Meng Jing's refusal, and almost couldn't get up.

She opened her eyes angrily, and stared fiercely at Meng Jing. In her eyes was a forehead that Meng Jing had never seen since she was a child. She firmly grabbed the mattress under her body and questioned Meng Jing every word , "I'm about to die, I just had such a wish before I died, how could you have the heart to refuse me, do you really think of me as your mother and concubine in your heart!"

Hearing what Concubine Yun said, Meng Jing felt pain in her heart like a knife, but her face was unprecedentedly cold.

He stared into Concubine Yun's eyes, and asked rhetorically, "My concubine said I didn't regard you as my concubine, but the son dares to ask you, do you treat me as your own son?"

"There is a sentence that my son has kept in his heart for a long time. He didn't know how to ask it before, and he didn't dare to ask... Now the son has finally made up his mind to ask, mother concubine, are you my son's biological mother concubine?"

"If so, then how cruel is a mother to drink her own son's tea to kill her? If not, then I dare to ask you, who is the son's biological mother and concubine!"

He asked every word and sentence clearly, and every word and every sentence was deafening.

Concubine Yun's face changed when she heard his first sentence, but when she heard the last sentence, she felt a thunderbolt explode in her heart!
She looked at Meng Jing dodgingly, and after a long time, she turned her head away.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, she opened her mouth, trembling her lips, and said word by word——

"That's right, as you think, you are indeed not my own son!"

"This palace has never had a son!"

"You are just a substitute, a bargaining chip for my palace to fight for favor with the queen mother and save my life!"

"As for your mother, she died on the day you were born 30 years ago! You will never see her again in your life!"

……

"These are all true?" Meng Jing's shoulders trembled, and he fell back uncontrollably. After a while, he raised his head, stared at Concubine Yun with a dark gaze, and said, "What you said is true. Between us... There is no mother-child relationship at all, my biological mother died 30 years ago, at your hands?"

"Yes, that's right!" Concubine Yun said without hesitation, with a tone of shameless indifference, "Your mother died in the hands of this palace, and this palace has always only used you , there is no mother-child relationship!"

"So... so..." Meng Jing slowly closed her eyelids, and a tear rolled down her face.

Concubine Yun looked at the hot tears, her heart became even crazier, she struggled forcefully, and said to him, "The people in this palace hold the evidence that you are not of royal blood. If you don't want to be executed by Ling Chi and divided by five horses, you'd better marry Pure night..."

Hearing the word Chunxiao, Meng Jing seemed to remember something.Suddenly opened his eyes again, looked at Concubine Yun sharply and said, "I have one last question, Chun Xiao, who is she?"

Concubine Yun's expression suddenly softened when she heard the word "chunxiao", she pursed her chapped lips, and said, "Chunxiao...she is the reincarnation of my daughter."

"Reincarnation?" Meng Jing was puzzled.

Concubine Yun smiled, frowned and explained, "When Yun'er in this palace was nine years old, she gave birth to smallpox and died unexpectedly... The next year, a mother and baby with the same birthday as Yun'er was born in the village. It's Chunxiao, her eyes, her nose, and the red moles behind her ears are all exactly the same as Yun'er's in this palace. In the next life, so as not to confuse the royal blood..."

Concubine Yun felt that what she said was very reasonable.

But after Meng Jing finished listening, she just dropped the words "nonsense" coldly!

Concubine Yun saw that he didn't believe her, so she couldn't help being annoyed, she forced herself to sit up and glared at him angrily, "Chunxiao is my Yun'er! She is!"

Meng Jing sneered silently, "You are really crazy!" After speaking, she wanted to leave.

At the critical moment, she was stopped by Concubine Yun. With the last bit of her strength, she glared at him and said, "If you want to marry Chunxiao, you must marry her, definitely!"

Meng Jing said nothing.He just raised the corners of his lips slightly, smiled mockingly, and walked out decisively without looking back...

Concubine Yun was not reconciled, and angrily cursed in the dormitory, but Meng Jing could no longer hear her.

After leaving Hexuan Hall, he went straight back to the study.

Call the butler and give the first order.It is to replace everyone in Hexuantang.

The old ones, including Chun Xiao, were all given dumb drugs and sold.The newcomers are all his confidants.

After dealing with all this, he rushed to Chu residence again.

In the Chu residence, Chu Ci was unwell today and did not go to the Huichun Hall.

Originally, she planned to lie down and raise the baby.

But as soon as the front foot got on the couch, the dumb girl on the back foot delivered a message.It is said that someone sent a jade bottle to the Huichun Pavilion. There are words on the bottom of the jade bottle, so you can tell it belongs to her at a glance.

The shopkeeper of the Huichun Pavilion didn't dare to call the shots, so he asked someone to bring the jade bottle over!

Chu Ci took the white jade bottle and only glanced at it, then thought of the owner who gave it to her——Yun Niang, that poor woman.

"Where is the owner of the jade bottle? Did the shopkeeper tell you?" She asked the dumb girl in a low voice, frowning slightly.

The dumb girl shook her head and gestured with her hands, "The jade bottle was not delivered to the Huichun Pavilion by Yunniang herself, but entrusted to a last-class maidservant in the Anfu."

Chu Ci watched the dumb girl finish gesticulating, and a bad feeling suddenly surged in her heart——Yun Niang, I'm afraid that her freedom was restricted by An's family, and even going out became delusional.

Thinking this way, she decided to go to An's house immediately to see Yunniang.

If there is nothing wrong with her, then she will be fine. If there is something wrong, she will definitely take her out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Thinking like this, she immediately ordered Zhejin to prepare the carriage.

Zhe Jin listened to Chu Ci's instructions, and frowned slightly, wondering why, "The concubine's fetal image is not very stable, she should rest in the house well, if you are really worried about that woman named Yun Niang. No If the servant will take a look for you?"

After hearing her finish, Chu Ci shook his head and rejected her, saying, "This kind of thing can't be replaced, I'd better go in person! You go to prepare the car, remember to cushion the inside of the car softly, and then..."

"What else?" Before she finished speaking, Meng Jing's voice came in from outside.

He strode in, walked to her side and said, "What is it that makes you so tired that you go out yourself?"

Chu Ci took a look at him, and then mentioned the past intersection with Yun Niang.

Meng Jing also vaguely thought of that poor woman after listening to it.

However, he was still worried about going out, so he said, "This time, this king will go for you, don't you worry about folding the brocade, and don't worry about this king?"

Hearing this, Chu Ci sighed, but still shook his head, saying, "I must do this myself, and no one else can do it for me."

After finishing the sentence, she added in a tone that only the two of them could hear, "I don't want to let the tragedy of Concubine Lan happen again."

Obviously capable of saving people, but in the end it is an eternal regret because the action is one step slower.

Meng Jing felt a little relieved when she heard Concubine Lan.

But still didn't agree directly, but looked at her stomach, frowned and said, "Then your body..."

"I'm a doctor, and I'll take care of it myself. I promise, I will never hurt our children because of other things."

children……

Meng Jing sensitively captured these three words.

Then his eyes lit up, and he looked at her with burning eyes, "A Ci, what do you mean..."

Chu Ci looked into his bright eyes and nodded seriously, "It's true that I'm pregnant with twins, and I just got them out this morning."

"so……"

"So I'm not really unwell, the fetal image is unstable, but the surprise came too suddenly, I need time to take it easy!" Chu Ci explained with a faint smile on his lips.

After Meng Jing finished speaking, she became ecstatic.If it wasn't for Chu Ci's pregnancy with twins, if it wasn't for her needing a good rest, he would definitely pick her up and spin her around twice.

"Can you prepare the carriage now?" Chu Ci looked at the happy faces and asked deliberately.

Meng Jing didn't even think about it, she just said, "My lady, please wait a moment, I will personally go and order someone to help you prepare a carriage..."

A quarter of an hour later.

At the gate of the palace, the two got into the carriage and went straight to An's house.

Settling down in the south of the capital, it can be regarded as a wealthy family among the common people.

The carriage drove for an hour and a half.Only then slowly stopped.

"My lord, my concubine, I've arrived at An's house!" Han Zhe reported respectfully, opening the curtain.

Chu Ci nodded, then looked sideways at Meng Jing!
Meng Jing got up consciously, supported her, and walked out.

After getting off the car ladder, Han Zhe went to knock on the door, while Meng Jing and Chu Ci waited under the steps.

Because there were not many servants in Anfu, Han Zhe knocked on the door for a long time before the door opened from the inside.

It's an old butler with an old age.

The old butler saw the nobleman outside the door.Immediately froze, fell to his knees with a plop, and shouted Chitose to the carriage under the steps that belonged exclusively to the Prince Regent's Mansion.

Meng Jing and Chu Ci ignored the butler and walked directly to the Anfu.

Entering the An Mansion, the two of them haven't swept to both sides yet.

I saw a group of familiar figures pushing a millstone in front of the lotus pond in the front hall.

Although the figure was a little different from before, the two of them recognized at a glance that the woman was Yun Niang, who used to be unparalleled in beauty, gentle and charming.

Yun Niang also noticed Chu Ci and the others.

She slowly put down the handle of the millstone, looked up at the two with sweat on her face...

After being stunned for a while, I remembered to go forward to salute, and kowtowed respectfully, "The daughter of the people has seen the princess, and the prince!"
