Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 155
The sour and bitter smell of traditional Chinese medicine spread in the room. Jianliu took a rag and put it in his hands. He was careful not to burn his fingers and lifted the lid of the medicine jar. Seeing that the soup was almost ready, he took it down and poured it carefully. In the bowl, Mingmei carried it into the house.

"Miss, I'm ready."

Shi Yiqing waved his hand without looking at it, brightly understanding, and handed it to the nanny standing under the bed, watching the nanny drink up the soup and medicine in the bowl, put away the bowl and chopsticks and leave the main room.

He Mu came in with a light cigarette and a copper basin and hot water. Seeing that Shi Yiqing was still guarding by the bed, he stepped forward to persuade him softly: "Miss, the imperial physician Su has already said that the young master is fine now. Wait until now." After applying the medicine, you will be cured. You have been taking care of her for three days without sleep, so it's time to go back and rest."

Qingyan handed Shi Yiqing a towel that had been soaked in warm water and wrung dry, and when she turned around, she secretly pulled Lahemu's sleeve, averted her eyes, and went out to do her own business.

He Mu went out with the light smoke, and asked in a low voice, "What are you pulling me for?"

Qingyan said with a bitter face: "My good sister, haven't you noticed? The young master is not up every day, and the lady will not go to rest for a day, but you are trying to persuade the lady at this moment, and annoy the lady. It's you, if it's someone else, Miss would have lost her temper a long time ago."

"Yes, why am I getting more and more confused. Good sister, thank you for reminding me."

After tidying up the kitchen, Jian Liu, who came in after seeing He Mu and Qing Yan muttering something, couldn't help being surprised, and asked in a low voice, "You two, what are you doing here if you're not serving inside?"

He Mu hissed softly, pointed to the inside, waved his hand immediately, and left the wing room with the shear flow and light smoke, found a quiet place, sighed and said: "I'm really going to suffocate me. I'm in the No one dared to speak loudly inside.”

Jian Liu asked in surprise: "What are you two doing? What's wrong with Miss? Are you angry again?"

Qingyan smiled wryly, and said: "I really hope that Miss can be as angry as before, but now she doesn't talk or sleep, and just guards the young master all day long, even if she is a fairy, she will fall ill."

After a pause, Qingyan said suspiciously: "Hey, I heard the girls outside chewing their tongues and saying that it is the strangeness of the young master's attack. It didn't happen early, and it didn't happen later, but it happened on the night of Wanshou Festival. They all said It’s because Tai Sui has arrived. Two sisters, tell me, can this really be Tai Sui?”

"Nonsense!" Jianliu frowned and shouted in a deep voice, "The young master hasn't reached his full age yet, how could the Tai Sui master restrain him? Don't talk nonsense, if the young lady hears it and hits you, I won't stop you !"

After finishing speaking, Jianliu turned back into the main room, saw that Shi Yiqing's gaze never left the young master for a moment, sighed in his heart, stepped forward and said: "Miss, let me look after the young master, you should go in and have a rest. "

Shi Yiqing carefully tucked up Shi Congti's quilt, and asked wearily, "Go and see if Lian Ying is back."

When Jianliu found Lian Ying, the sky was already dark, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Lian Ying's hand, and said, "Why did you come back? Miss has been looking for you all day. Follow me in to see Miss!"

The light in the main room was dimmer than the moonlight outside, and the shadow of the curtain could only vaguely see the nanny holding Shi Congti and breastfeeding, Shi Yiqing leaned against the bedpost and looked at Shi Congti with a tired face.

Jian Liufang stepped forward lightly: "Miss, I think you'd better go back and rest, I'm watching here."

Shi Yiqing frowned and rubbed his temples, stood up from the gums with the support of Lianying and Jianliu, and said, "Don't let Qier sleep after drinking milk, let him sleep out, remember?"

Worried about talking to Jianliu a few times, after recovering, he knew that he had said too much, so he followed Lian Ying to the East Wing, and let Lian Ying and others serve him on his gums, leaving only Lian Ying behind. Shadow waiter, let them all go out.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Lian Ying stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Miss, Sui'er said that she saw that Miss Six had added a medicinal herb to the diet that the third lady ordered Zi Zhen to send to the nanny. It strengthens the foundation and cultivates the essence, but when paired with the soup, it will change the temperament and make people feel hot inside. Sui'er said, I don't know if the nanny took this medicine to get the wind and cold, and then passed it on to the young master."

Shi Yiqing sighed wearily, and after a while he said: "You've been tired all day too, go down and rest, and let the light smoke come in."

After half a stick of incense, Qingyan came in to serve instead of Lian Ying, and saw that Shi Yiqing couldn't help being tired and fell asleep, but his breathing was not even, looking like a nightmare.

Qingyan looked at Shi Yiqing worriedly, she didn't know if she woke her up, or hoped that she could rest for a while.Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a cry, and went to look at Shi Yiqing in fright, and saw that Shi Yiqing woke up covered in sweat, his eyes were empty and desperate.

"Miss, miss?!" Qingyan spread her palms and waved them in front of Shi Yiqing's eyes.

Shi Yiqing reached out and grabbed her wrist, and said in a hoarse voice: "Qingyan, you can go to Mother Xu tomorrow, and just say that I asked you to ask her, something has changed, let her come in and discuss it in detail."

Qingyan reluctantly calmed down the frightened soul, nodded, and went out of the mansion the next day to find Madam Xu, not mentioning it for the time being.

However, in order to take care of Shi Congti nearby, Shi Yiqing moved from Ranyuezhi to Ningxie Hall, and even quit Aunt Mo's lectures, and took care of Shi Congti in the room every day, even Shi Zeqian got up and went to Jiangsu to get married. They just sent Jianliu to see him off.

Because Shi Congti was about to turn one year old, the old lady wanted to make a big deal out of it. It happened that the eldest lady was ill, and the second lady didn't care about anything. She couldn't feel relieved about the third lady who was pregnant. Seeing that the young wife of the second room, Mrs. Jian, is willing to take over, she is also happy to delegate power to her and let her take care of it and practice.

Lian Ying got the news and came back and said: "Miss Six got sulking in the room for a while when she heard the news. She smashed everything in the room. The noise was so loud that it almost scared Yang Lianxiang's fetus."

"It's almost impossible, Shi Xuanxin has such a temper, how can he be aggrieved?" Shi Yiqing sneered, "Lianying, look, the weather is warm today, why don't we go to Auntie Cheng's jade warm building to stay a little while."

The naughty Shi Congti grinned, let Shi Yiqing carry her out of the room, walked around the path, and walked to the Yunuan Building. Seeing Aunt Cheng came out with a pale expression, she hurriedly said, "Auntie is not in good health. Still out? We are not outsiders, why should we be so polite. "

Aunt Cheng led Shi Yiqing into the room, sat down regardless of the host and guest, looked at Shi Congti who had been baring his teeth and smiled and said: "Look at the facial features of the young master, he looks more and more like the master, I don't know if the master saw it." , how happy it should be."

Shi Yiqing smiled calmly, tilted his head to look at Shi Congti, and said, "There is an old saying in the country that a child is like a mother, and I look at Qi'er like my mother." Pointing at Aunt Cheng with Shi Congti's little finger, he said in a tender voice, "This is your Aunt Cheng, and you want to call her too. Hurry up, call someone."

Aunt Cheng turned pale at Shi Yiqing's words, looked at the door with wandering eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Miss Jiu, I can't afford to be a mother like the young master."

Shi Yiqing pretended not to see the figure swaying at the door, put Shi Congti into Aunt Cheng's arms, and said with a smile: "We are the only ones here, what are we afraid of. What's more, just because you can't call now, doesn't mean you can't in the future!"

Aunt Cheng hugged Shi Congti like she was hugging a hot potato, whether she hugged it or threw it away, she smiled awkwardly and asked, "Miss, what do you say..."

Shi Yiqing picked up the tea bowl on the table, lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "Although my aunt gave birth to the second sister and the tenth sister a few years ago, but the second sister married far away, and the tenth sister is like that. There is nothing under her knees, so she doesn't want to have someone to rely on?"

After drinking a sip of tea, Shi Yiqing looked directly at Aunt Cheng, making her say unavoidably: "Oh, I'm getting old too, I'm waiting until February next year, even if my father doesn't marry me off, It is also time to make a marriage agreement. How long can I take care of Qi'er? My mother is pregnant now, and it is the time of morning sickness, so I can't take care of Qi'er. The other aunts are either childless or sick. Auntie Cheng, it is Qinger who can rest assured. If Auntie is willing to work hard, I will go tell my grandmother, tell my mother, and everything will be covered by me!"

"Miss, thank you Miss Jiu for your love. But," Aunt Cheng said with a wry smile, looking at Shi Congti, "I'm powerless now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the young master. Please ask Miss to choose someone else."

Shi Yiqing let out a deep breath, and expressed his disappointment, "I know a thing or two about my aunt's suffering. If that's the case, then I won't make things difficult for my aunt."

After finishing speaking, he took Shi Congti from Aunt Cheng's arms, and was about to leave the Yunuan building, and turned around to thank the hall.

Pulling Shi Congti to play by the lake for a while, seeing Lianying come out of Yu Nuan Building calmly, smiling and nodding to her, and carrying Shi Congti back to Ningxie Hall.

That night, Shi Yiqing was woken up by the noisy noise outside the courtyard gate. Seeing that there were lanterns wandering around outside, it was very lively, so he put on his clothes and sat leaning against the bed post.

Mo Xian, who went to inquire about the news, came back and said: "Miss, it's not good, the third lady's child has disappeared!"

After daybreak, Shi Yiqing still carried Shi Congti to greet the old lady. Seeing the old lady lying on the arhat couch with a black face, she pretended not to know and asked, "Hey, who made our old lady angry?"

Zhu Xi hurriedly gestured, and took Shi Yiqing to the west side hall, and said with a bitter face: "My little aunt, don't you see how ugly the old lady's face is? How dare you make a joke at this moment?" ?”

Shi Yiqing raised his eyebrows in confusion and said, "What happened?"

"Didn't you hear the sound yesterday?" Zhu Xi glanced around and whispered in Shi Yiqing's ear, "The baby boy that took shape in the third lady's womb has fallen."

Shi Yiqing exaggeratedly asked: "What? Isn't the imperial physician very good? How did he fall? When did he fall?"

Zhu Xi said in a deep voice: "The old lady won't let you talk about this matter, let alone you, a young lady, don't inquire about these things. I'm doing it for your own good. Alas, now the old lady doesn't have the heart to look at the young master, so you should take it with you." Go back, young master."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Xi bypassed Shi Yiqing and went into Dong Pian Hall, leaving the girl in the chief corner to wait on her.

Shi Yiqing suppressed his expression, tilted his head and raised his eyebrows to look at Shi Congti, seeing that he was still smiling, touched his little nose with his nose, then turned and returned to Ning Xie Hall.

After a cup of tea, Mo Xian came in and said: "Miss, I heard from the people in Tangliyuan that it happened suddenly last night, and there was no sign before, so I panicked and invited you casually." The doctor on the street came and said that he had used medicine, but it didn’t work, and that he was still bleeding.”

Shi Yiqing nodded, and asked Mo Xian to play with Shi Congti in his arms, while he read the book for a while.

When it was dark, Lian Ying came in to wait on him, and said: "Your maidservant has inquired clearly. Not long after we turned back to Ningxie Hall from Yu Nuan Building yesterday, Aunt Liu went to Aunt Cheng's room to make a fuss. After that, I didn’t go back to my room, instead I went out to Tangli Courtyard. I don’t know exactly what happened in Tangli Courtyard.”

After a pause, Lian Ying hurriedly continued: "By the way, when this servant just came back from the path, he bumped into the youngest son of Jiaomen. He said that Madam wrote a letter to the second young master, saying that he wanted to send it to the second young master quickly."

The hand holding the tea bowl paused, and Shi Yiqing murmured to himself with a half-smile, "That's right, with such a big incident, how can we not let him come back?"

Shi Yiqing put the tea bowl aside, and said to Lian Ying in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, you will spread the truth or falsehood of what you know, I want the whole Shi family to know, and let father's servants know, you understand me mean?"

Lian Ying raised her eyes to look at Shi Yiqing, and said, "Miss, do you want to make this matter a big deal? This servant understands."

Less than three days have passed since Yang Lianxiang's incident, and there are many rumors in the Shi family. Some say that Shi Congti's Tai Sui practice was restrained before, and the life of the unborn young master was killed. Both Ren and Imperial Physician Su knew that they just kept it secret because they were afraid that something like this would happen before Shi Zeqian got married, which would add to the bad luck.It was also said that that night, she saw a figure coming out of Tangli Courtyard, full of bloody smell, she looked like Aunt Liu.

When the incident got bigger and bigger and reached Shi Jingran's ears, he poured all his anger on Aunt Liu, and when he was about to kill Aunt Liu with his fists raised, Zhu Xi broke in, and then the situation changed. A newer step of development.

Shi Yiqing looked back at Gu Shi Congti, and went to look at Li Ying in surprise: "What did you say? Say it again?"

Lian Ying replied in a low voice: "I heard that the old lady knew that it was Miss Six who hit the third lady's stomach, which caused her to lose her child. Although if Aunt Liu hadn't made trouble, Miss Six would have scuffled with her, This matter will not happen, but the most fundamental reason is because of Miss Six."

Shi Yiqing suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "That's why we blocked the news, so that no one would know what happened in Tangli Courtyard, and hoped that no one would say anything, and this matter would be concealed."

A gust of wind blows, and the sky, which was still clear just now, is suddenly covered with dark clouds.Seeing Mo Xian carrying Shi Congti into the house, Lian Ying hurriedly said to Shi Yiqing: "Miss, the weather is going to change, let's go back to the house."

Just as he was talking, a thunderbolt struck from the sky, and immediately after that big raindrops fell, it looked like a hole had leaked in the sky.

The rain in the sky didn't stop, Jianliu, who came back from outside with an umbrella, broke into the house with a pale face, and said with a dazed expression: "Miss, it's not good, the third lady...the lady is gone."

There was a muffled sound when the thunder suddenly split through the darkness, Shi Yiqing frowned and looked at Jianliu in his dim vision.

Yang Lianxiang left in such a hurry that people were caught off guard. Whether it was the eldest lady and the second lady who were fighting each other, or the servant girl who was frequently scolded by her on weekdays, everyone had to pretend to lament.But the things that followed one after another made everyone panic. They didn't know whether to sigh or hate her.

On this day, Shi Yiqing was about to change into cotton and linen filial piety clothes when she was told that the old lady wanted her to go to Chunhui Hall immediately.When Shi Yiqing was led into the east side hall, he was surprised to find that Mrs. Jian, who was supposed to be guarding the front, was standing beside the old lady.

Shi Yiqing froze slightly, and stepped forward quickly: "Grandma, did you call me?"

With a dark face, the old lady pointed at Nanny Gao on the ground, and shouted sharply: "Say what you said just now!"

Shi Yiqing looked at the old lady's fingers, and was surprised to find that the mother looked familiar. It took her a while to remember that this was the nanny who served Yang Lianxiang when she first entered the mansion, and it was said that she was her confidant.

Seeing Shi Yiqing looking at herself, the high mother turned pale, kowtowed desperately, and howled, "Miss Nine, Miss Nine! I'm the one who failed you!"

Zhu Xi spat on Nanny Gao with hatred on his face, and dragged Shi Yiqing out of the east side hall, found a quiet place, and said to her with pity in his eyes: "The old lady has already asked, and this servant has confirmed that , Miss was not supposed to be born in February, and her fate is not full of misfortunes, she is the third wife, and she ordered Aunt Xiao to be drugged, so that you were born in February ahead of schedule!"

Shi Yiqing was truly astonished at this moment. He was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to understand what Zhu Xi was talking about: "How could this happen? Master Huixin of Fahua Temple is a famous eminent monk, she will never lie to me Bar?"

"What eminent monk?" Zhu Xi said angrily, "Nannizi likes to wander around rich and noble people's homes, and was bribed by the third lady early in the morning to make a show for everyone to see!"

After a pause, Zhu took a breath and continued: "This time the eldest lady took stock of the third lady's warehouse, and there were many things in it that didn't match. Excluding the dowry for the eldest lady and the second lady, the previous third lady's dowry is now all in one piece. There are no more left, who knows where she sold it! Thanks to her, she kept saying that she would keep it for our young master, and our old lady praised her for being sensible. I didn't expect her to be like this!"
