The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 172
Chinese medicine believes that everyone has a different physique. In ancient times, high-ranking officials paid attention to health preservation. They would often ask doctors to check the peace pulse, and prescribe food and medicine according to individual physique, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body.The most accurate doctor in the palace is Mi Taiyi, but this one is not easy to see a doctor for others, even the emperor does not allow those concubines and princes in the harem to always bother Mi Taiyi, so as not to be old. Mr. is tired.

But since the Xing family started to visit Mi Taiyi, Mi Taiyi has become a frequent visitor of the Fifth Prince.

The old lady Ouyang didn't know this. Seeing Zhuan'er's calm and calm appearance, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

"What is this? Is His Highness the master, or are you the master? How did you learn the rules in the palace for a girl who has not yet grown up? You can make someone call you aunt with a salivating face. What kind of aunt are you!" Ouyang The old lady became more and more angry, and her voice suddenly increased a lot.

Several little maids waiting outside the palace unknowingly poked their heads inside. The old lady Ouyang was even angrier, pointing at Zhuan'er and cursing: "Look at the rules of the people around your highness? How dare you peep into the inner palace of the master at will?"

Zhengde propped himself up and begged: "Zhuan'er didn't do it on purpose. I'm an outsider, so it's hard to win people's hearts. If Zhuan'er didn't support me here, I don't know what it would be like!"

The old lady Ouyang hates iron and steel: "The more charitable your Highness is, the more they will treat your Highness as a soft persimmon. If you want to be old, first tie up this seal and send it to the Queen Empress, take away her rank, and throw it away." Enter the clothes bureau, tell her to suffer a little bit first, and then think about the kindness the fifth prince has treated her."

Zhengde's complexion changed: "It is absolutely impossible, Zhuan'er." He looked at the silent Zhuan'er with a complicated expression, "She brought me up since childhood, if I can't even protect her, how will I succeed in the future? Great cause? This kind of ungrateful thing, the old lady should not mention it again. "

The old lady Ouyang was also afraid of driving the fifth prince into a hurry, and the two would have separate children in the future, so she hurriedly said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I listen to what your Highness means, but your Highness has to promise me one thing, this girl is not mature after all. , I have an excellent candidate here, she is the nanny that the old man is used to, and putting her next to His Highness, the old man can't feel at ease."

Zhengde slowly leaned back on the pillow, and said lightly: "This matter can be discussed later." The old lady Ouyang had a bit of embarrassment on her face, which showed that the fifth prince was tired and could only suppress her dissatisfaction.She insisted on dismissing Zhuan'er, moved to Zhengde's couch, mysteriously took out the prescription list in her cuff, and gently threw it beside Zhengde's forearm.

Zhengde looked at the other party puzzled.

"His Royal Highness will know."

Zhengde curiously read the small print on it, but still puzzled: "Is the old lady taking a prescription?"

"Why do you need to hide it, Your Highness?" The old lady Ouyang smiled, "Why is Your Highness sick? How is it, this old man knows it all!"

Seeing Zhengde's complexion suddenly changed, she felt more complacent, and felt that her move was perfect and the victory was within her grasp, so she said with a smile: "I don't hide it from Your Highness, this prescription is made from the Xing family, and the medicine is effective." Why, the old man is also very clear about it, I just want to ask His Highness, because of a sentence from the Xing family, His Highness made fun of his own body, whose idea is this?"

Zhengde hesitated to speak, and the old lady Ouyang said angrily: "Forget it, even if His Highness doesn't say anything, the old man can guess a little bit, it must be that girl of the Xing family. This kind of low-handed trick is beyond the reach of ordinary people. from."

Zhengde had already repelled the old lady in front of him in his heart, but when he heard the other party criticize his sister, Zhengde was still furious, and his face immediately sank uncontrollably.

Is the old lady Ouyang the kind of person who can't judge her face? Seeing this, she couldn't help shivering in her heart, and said with a smile: "The old man is a direct relative of His Highness, so could he still harm you? Your Highness is a person who plans big things Don't you hear it? The son of a daughter, you can't sit down. Your highness thinks about it carefully. Now you are the most favored one among the emperor's princes. Even the emperor looks up to our highness. Those treacherous villains see it in their eyes Can you not be jealous? After all, the daughter of the Xing family is not very old, but she is a little more alert than ordinary daughters, but what advice can she give His Highness? It is nothing more than a small fight, and maybe she may fall into someone else's trap. In the trap, this is what the old man fears the most."

Zhengde pretended to be shocked, and his tone was hesitant and low: "No, it won't be like what the old lady said, right? My sister has always been"

The old lady Ouyang didn't want to cut off his words: "Your Highness! It is necessary to be on guard against others. Besides, what we are wary of are only those who use the hands of the Xing family to harm you, but not the Xing family."

Zhengde pretended to think for a while, and then slowly said: "Then according to the old lady's intention, what should I do?"

The old lady Ouyang was overjoyed, but hurriedly suppressed her excitement, and just asked: "I dare to ask Your Highness, have you taken this medicine?"

Zhengde slowly nodded his little head, and then looked at the other party vigilantly.

"The old man knows that His Highness is not the kind of person who does things for no reason. If you deliberately ruin your body, you must be targeting someone, but Your Highness must distinguish between serious and serious. In this deep palace, there are some people that His Highness cannot touch. Look, the emperor is sympathetic, Your Highness should not be confused."

Zhengde pursed his lips stubbornly and remained silent.

"I dare to ask, is your highness trying to embarrass the empress?"

Zhengde looked at the old lady Ouyang in disbelief, and the old lady was sweating. Seeing the expression of the fifth prince, she already knew that her guess was almost inseparable.While rejoicing, at the same time secretly scolding the Xing family for being crazy, inciting the Fifth Prince to do something wrong, inciting His Highness to fight against the Empress, isn't this asking for a dead end?

No, no matter what you say, you must remove the fifth prince first, so as to keep the safety of Ouyang's family.

Maybe this is also her chance, a chance to completely eradicate the Xing family.

The old lady Ouyang thumped her hands hard: "Your Highness, don't be confused. You have been walking on thin ice for a long time. What the old man knows, the queen will know sooner or later. In the inner palace, you can't knock the queen down in one fell swoop. You will only have endless troubles in the future. I'm crushed under my body, and I can't turn over for the rest of my life."

Zhengde also looked scared, and stammered and asked: "Well, what should we do?"

The old lady Ouyang stood up and paced around on the bed for a long time, waiting for Zhengde to almost shed tears of boredom, the old lady Ouyang suddenly became energetic and said: "Your Highness, the only way to break the deadlock is to abandon the car and save the handsome man! "

"Why abandon the car to protect the handsome?"

"His Royal Highness has now taken the medicine given by the Xing family, and brought this prescription with me. Just go to find the emperor, saying that the Xing family has encouraged His Highness to pretend to be sick and framed the Empress Empress. His Highness does not want to be ashamed of his conscience, but is also afraid of causing trouble. Upper body, I don’t know what to do, so I want to ask Wansui to find out the truth, return my mother’s innocence, and return my innocence.”

The old lady Ouyang's eyes lit up, and the more she spoke, the faster she spoke: "The emperor will definitely think that your highness is a pure and kind child, and even the queen will appreciate your kindness today. If your highness can be recognized by the queen's name, then in the future He's also a half son, better than following that Liu Chongyi!"

Zhengde supported his forehead, not looking at the expectant eyes of the old lady Ouyang: "Let me think again! Think again."

The old lady Ouyang was full of disappointment, but she still left with some hope.

That night, the Fifth Prince had a big commotion here, His Highness was vomiting and diarrhea, high fever persisted, he was almost half dead, and immediately alarmed the Supreme Emperor and the one in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The queen was woken up in her sleep, and when the eunuch reported that the emperor went to Yuntai to see that wild bastard in the middle of the night, she snorted coldly with disdain.The eunuch next to the empress laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince's illness is strange. Will the Lord Long Live use the opportunity of investigation to reach out to us?"

"What are you afraid of!" The queen spat: "My palace is upright, and I am doing it right. Are you still afraid of being investigated by the Lord Long Live? It is the women of Concubine Wu, who have often murdered His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. I am afraid at the moment. You should be guilty!"

The queen did not intend to intervene. When the harem harbored ill intentions against the fifth prince, she chose to stand by. Then, when the fifth prince Li Hong became fresh meat on the chopping board, the queen would be more than happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

The great eunuch smiled and said: "Look at me, my lord, don't you already have some ideas in your mind? You are stupid, who is the one who harmed the fifth prince?"

"Hmph, you can't escape from the emperor's new favorite concubine, Song Guiren!" The queen sneered, "Her son is the serious fifth prince, and she was conferred upon her birth. , now that his son's status is inexplicably downgraded, and he is crushed by an outside bastard, can the Song nobleman let it go?"

The eunuch was surprised: "Ma'am, this servant thought Mr. Song Gui was a kind-hearted man!"

The queen laughed: "Mianshan? It's a fairy tale, there are no fewer ghosts who died unjustly in her Song nobleman's palace than in other places. When she was pregnant with the prince that year, in order to keep her favor, she took out a maid who had been hidden for a long time by her side to honor her." Our Long Live Lord. How did it turn out? She was just confinement, so she killed that court lady, the emperor knows best, but he didn't ask a word, isn't it because she gave birth to a son?"

The eunuch felt a pain in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the queen, he just smiled and agreed.

After a while, someone from outside the hall reported that the emperor was furious at the fifth prince and wanted the queen to go over immediately.

The queen got up slowly, changed into a brighter palace attire, and then sat on the phoenix chariot, deliberately telling the eunuchs who carried the sedan chair to slow down and go to the Yuntai.

At this moment, it was almost morning time, and there were hundreds of officials standing outside the Qianqing Palace, huddled together in twos and threes to keep warm.

Master Shangshu like Song Lian had long been invited into the small room next to the main hall to keep warm and drink tea.

Ma Tingyuan folded his arms, paced and began to squeeze next to the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but no one noticed his difference.
