Chapter 225 Falling Red (2)

It was His Majesty's filial piety that the Empress Dowager was sent out of the palace to rest.

But receiving it back and dying outside are two completely different effects.

The empress dowager died outside, and others would be suspicious, why did she send it out in the first place?There will be gossip about your majesty's unfilial piety; when the empress dowager returned from illness, your majesty did consider the empress dowager's health at the beginning, and it will add luster to your majesty's filial piety.It's just that the empress dowager died of illness when she returned to the palace, so it must be that the empress dowager and the palace are not in harmony with Fengshui.

Your Majesty picked it up cleanly.

Therefore, Dong Yuan felt that Emperor Yuanchang absolutely did not want rumors such as "someone poisoned the queen mother" to spread.Although it's very likely to be true.

There are only two reasons why Yongningbo's mansion fell: first, there is a person who can handle His Majesty and the crown prince, hoping that something will happen to Yongningbo's mansion, so as to reap the benefits.That person was only the Marquis of Zhenxian at that time; secondly, he was discovered by chance.

Dong Yuan thinks the former is more likely.

His Majesty lined up his troops, not wanting the Empress Dowager to die behind him, which would cause trouble for his son and wife, but also afraid of being infamous for killing his mother through the ages, so he promised Uncle Yongning's mansion a lot of benefits, and asked Uncle Yongning's mansion to do it for him .

But he thought too much of Mr. Xue Lao Hou.

The Xue family will safeguard His Majesty's throne, as well as the Xue family's power.

In the future, when the new master ascends the throne, the future queen's natal family may become the new favorite.Old Master Xue probably didn't want another person to be the opponent of the Xue family.

That being the case, the queens of the two dynasties simply came from the Xue family.

This is the selfishness of the Xue family, and also the selfishness of the old Hou Ye.

"Mother, has it spread outside?" Dong Yuan asked.Mrs. Chai dared to gossip about the Crown Princess's family at the Empress Dowager's funeral. This matter is probably not taboo.

There was probably an uproar in Shengjing.

Mrs. Sheng nodded: "Isn't it? The incident happened just the day before yesterday. Yesterday Yongningbo was taken away by people from Dali Temple.... Today we are crying and mourning, have you seen the people from Yongningbo's mansion? Everyone is talking about it Woolen cloth."

During the break, Dong Yuan went to the old lady of the Xue family to pay her respects, and did not participate in everyone's gossip.

Mrs. Sheng didn't go, so she just mingled among the imperial wives and heard enough about these things.

"What else did you say?" Dong Yuan asked.She wanted to hear if there was anything about the Xue family.

Mrs. Sheng shook her head: "No more. Everyone said that Uncle Yongning's mansion was wronged. They were the mother's family of the Empress Dowager. When the Empress Dowager passed away, their family was the most unlucky. How could they murder the Empress Dowager? Don't you think so? I also feel that Yongningbo Mansion has been wronged..."

Such speculation is not unreasonable.

Leaving aside the bloody politics, such a guess is quite reasonable, so Dong Yuan hurriedly nodded: "Mother is right, the Yongningbo Mansion went out of their way to murder the Queen Mother. I'm afraid there is something strange about it. Just think about it, something happened in their mansion. How much jealousy is there for the Crown Princess? If something happens to their mansion, what status does the Crown Princess have in the Prince's Mansion? How many people wish for something to happen to their mansion, and it is possible to frame them..."

Mrs. Sheng suddenly realized: "Isn't that what you said? It must be framed by those jealous people." Then she glanced back at Dong Yuan and sighed, "Ah Yuan, it's because you thought deeply and pointed it out all at once. If it wasn't for You said, mother is confused."

Dong Yuan smiled wryly.

Where is she thinking far-reaching?It's my mother, you think too simply.

When they arrived at the mansion, Sheng Changhou called Sheng Xiuyi and his brothers to the outer study, only Dong Yuan accompanied Mrs. Sheng back to Yuanyang Pavilion.

Mrs. Sheng whispered to Dong Yuan: "It must be talking about the Yongningbo Mansion..."

She meant that Marquis Sheng Chang called Sheng Xiuyi and Sheng Xiumu to talk in the study outside, because he was discussing the matter of the Yongningbo Mansion with their brothers.

"Daddy and Uncle Yongning are close friends." Dong Yuan said.

Madam Sheng sighed.She wanted to persuade Marquis Shengchang to stop meddling with the affairs of the court, but Uncle Yong Ning and Marquis Sheng Chang had a great friendship, so asking him not to take care of it seemed indifferent, and Marquis Sheng Chang probably couldn't do it.

Mrs. Sheng couldn't care less.

Dong Yuan took a rest at Mrs. Sheng's place, and the maid, Citron, came to tell them that the wet nurse had brought Brother Cheng back to Yuanyang Pavilion.

This morning, Dong Yuan ordered the nanny to take Brother Cheng to Zhenyuan.

Mother Qiao, the nurse, explained to Dong Yuan: "Brother Cheng has been crying all the time, and he insisted on coming to Madam... The servant has no choice but to come back with my brother, and my brother will stop crying immediately."

Dong Yuan laughed.

Mrs. Sheng was both surprised and delighted: "Oh, our brother Cheng still can't leave here. I won't go back to Zhenyuan in the future..."

Dong Yuan listened, and couldn't help sweating: If you don't go back to Zhenyuan, do you want to stay in Yuanyang Pavilion for education?

Dong Yuan felt a little helpless: she wanted to raise the child herself, and her father-in-law obviously also wanted to raise Brother Cheng.In this era, a man cannot be kept in a woman's couch, and she is not qualified to fight with her father-in-law.Brother Cheng is willing to stay here again, so Dong Yuan has no position to ask to take Brother Cheng back.

Just as she was thinking, Brother Cheng had already woken up, looking at Dong Yuan with his dark eyes and smiling.Dong Yuan hugged him in his arms and couldn't help panting: the child's hands sank a little more.

Brother Cheng was very happy, dancing in Dong Yuan's arms, and accidentally kicked Dong Yuan lightly in the lower abdomen.

Dong Yuan had a dull pain in her lower abdomen all day today, and when Brother Cheng kicked her, a strong pain spread, she couldn't help but inhale, and frowned slightly.

Brother Cheng seemed to notice that his mother was frowning, and his happy smile restrained a little.

This, on the contrary, made Dong Yuan's heart suddenly startled.

Mrs. Sheng thought that Dong Yuan was tired, she stepped forward to hug Brother Cheng, and said to Dong Yuan: "You go back and rest. I see that your complexion is not very good today..."

She still remembered Dong Yuan's face yesterday.

Although Dong Yuan didn't say a word, Mrs. Sheng always felt that something happened in her room, and she just didn't want the old people to know and worry about it.

Mrs. Sheng has been pretending to be confused under the protection of Sheng Changhou. She will not destroy others' efforts to maintain her kindness, and she still pretends not to know.

Just seeing Dong Yuan's staggered steps when going out, Mrs. Sheng was a little worried.

She hugged Brother Cheng and said to Brother Cheng, "Brother Cheng, is there any pain in your mother's heart?"

Brother Cheng babbled, as if responding to Mrs. Sheng, but pulled Mrs. Sheng's mind away from Dong Yuan.She looked at this smart and lovely grandson, and teased Brother Cheng with a smile all over her face: "Brother Cheng, do you miss grandma today?"

Brother Cheng waved his chubby hand and let Mrs. Sheng slip into his arms.

From Mrs. Sheng's point of view, Brother Cheng understood what she said, and she was even happier, holding Brother Cheng and not letting go.

Dong Yuan returned to the Jingsheyuan, and Luo's mother and Ju Hong had already returned.

Seeing that Dong Yuan's complexion was not good, the two of them hurried up to greet her, they both cared about her body before they had time to say polite words.

"Did you kneel all day today, and your body is heavy?" Mother Luo asked Dong Yuan softly, and she let Dong Yuan onto the kang, "Mom will squeeze your legs for you..."

Dong Yuan avoided mother Luo's hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay. I'll wash and lie down first."

Mother Luo, Ju Hong and the others hurriedly helped her to the clean room.

When Dong Yuan went to the toilet, she was shocked to find her small clothes covered with dark red blood.Today is only the third day of junior high school, and Dong Yuan's small days have always been the sixth or seventh day of the junior high.Dong Yuan is well aware of the importance of menstrual periods to her health, so she never dares to be sloppy, and pays special attention to maintenance. Her childhood has always been on the right track.

I have never seen red in the third year of junior high school.

No wonder I feel uncomfortable all day today.

She was a little unwell a few days ago, at that time she wondered if she was seriously ill, so she asked the imperial physician to have a look, but she didn't find anything.Is it happening now?

She put on her clothes and came out, and Ju Hong called Xun Fang over: "Take my pair of cards, and invite Imperial Physician Qin to come..."

Her last illness was seen by Imperial Physician Qin.Although he didn't see the truth, Mrs. Sheng praised him highly, saying that he has good medical ethics and good medical skills.Dong Yuan didn't even trust the imperial physician, since Mrs. Sheng recommended it, she would rather seek this imperial physician.

As it was getting late, Dong Yuan went to the imperial physician as soon as he returned to the courtyard, which alarmed Mrs. Sheng.

In fact, no matter what happened here in Dongyuan, Mrs. Sheng would know about it.It's just that she doesn't want to care about it.Seeing Dong Yuan like this now, he hurriedly handed Brother Cheng over to the wet nurse, Mama Qiao, and brought Mama Kang to see Dong Yuan herself.

A few days ago, she saw that Dong Yuan's complexion was not good, and now she is in such a hurry to call the imperial physician, Madam Sheng's heart was agitated.

Dong Yuan leaned on the big kang facing the window in the Dongci room, listening to Luo's mother and Ju Hong talking about their family's New Year.The national funeral is just around the corner, and this year's first month is not very exciting, but the reunion between Luo's mother and Ju Hong's family is still a rare joy.

Just as he was talking happily, when he heard the little maid hurried in and said Mrs. Sheng was here, Dong Yuan's first thought was that something happened to brother Cheng, and he got up from the kang in fright.

I got up in a hurry, and felt dizzy for a while.

When Mrs. Sheng came in and saw her like this, she was even more worried.

"You child, what's wrong with you, you still hide it from mother?" Mrs. Sheng supported Dong Yuan with her own hands, and said angrily, "Lie down quickly..."

Listening to her voice, Dong Yuan understood that Mrs. Sheng knew about his request for an imperial physician.

Dong Yuan had no choice but to tell Mrs. Sheng about her falling red.

Mrs. Sheng was also taken aback: "Isn't it a small day?"

Dong Yuan shook his head with certainty: "I've never been like this..."

Mrs. Sheng became very anxious.She did know a few such incidents, where she became popular for no reason, and ended up dying young.

It's not good for her to say frustrating words when her daughter-in-law is sick, and her eyes were wet with anxiety for a while, but it was Dong Yuan who wanted to comfort her.

It was about an hour before Imperial Physician Qin arrived.Not only did he come, Sheng Xiuyi who was in the outer courtyard also came in with him.

He was also taken aback by the fact that Dong Yuan invited the imperial physician at night.

Sheng Xiuyi understood Dong Yuan's temper, if it was just a minor illness, she would drag it until tomorrow anyway.

Doctor Qin was still in the flower hall, asking Dong Yuan for pulse through the screen.

While asking for his pulse, his face became more serious.

Doctor Qin's expression changed, and Sheng Xiuyi's expression changed instantly.

Mrs. Sheng watched from the side, her heart pounding.
