Chapter 39
"Why do you always run so hard to the palace? I have Erqing and Mingyu to take care of me, and the emperor and queen mother to take care of me. The whole palace is caring enough, why do you need to be so nervous?"
Now it's like June, the weather is getting hotter, and the Changchun Palace has placed an ice basin early, so even though the weather outside is hot, the inside of the palace is icy cold and refreshing.
Shichun took the bowl containing the anti-fetal medicine from Erqing, looked at it carefully for a moment, and found that it was not different from the previous ones, before handing it to the queen who was sitting on the other side of the small table.
The queen reluctantly took it, picked up the small spoon and put the concoction into her mouth.
"Young Madam is a little careful. Your Majesty will look at everything she eats and uses in advance, but this is also because of her carefulness. She pointed out many inappropriate things in the palace. The slave never knew before that there will be so many things in food. What about Xiangke?"
Mingyu waited for the queen to drink the medicine, and couldn't help but said.
Shi Chun glanced at Mingyu with a smile, turned his head and said to the queen: "Fu Heng first came to the household department, and his foundation is not stable. He often spends the night in the household department's yamen and doesn't come back often. I don't have anything important at home. Er Niang is thinking about your mother." , and asked me to come to the palace often to visit my empress, and now I have only come three times in one month, is your empress already tired of seeing me?"
Empress Fucha put down the bowl and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. After hearing this, she couldn't help but nod her through the air: "You, you, you have a sharp mouth. There is a folk saying that when you are pregnant, you should be pregnant. See more beautiful people, so that the child will be born with delicate features. I wish to see you more. It would be wonderful if you were born a princess. But I am not thinking that you and Fu Heng will only be married for two months. He's just dissatisfied, isn't he worried about you anyway?"
She raised her eyebrows in a fierce look, but she couldn't scare anyone, everyone in Changchun Palace had smiles on their faces.
Shi Chun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Fu Heng himself is busy with his feet on the ground, so he has no time to pay attention to me."
The queen smiled: "Yo, this is dissatisfaction. Forget it, when Fu Heng is not busy, I must talk about him well. No matter how busy I am with business, how can I forget my wife, but I am still a servant on the right day and night." Su Yamen, if you enter the military aircraft department in the future, will you still be able to pay?"
Shi Chun's smile deepened: "This is the best, thank you, Ma'am."
Er Qing opened the curtain and came in: "Your Majesty, the pure imperial concubine is here."
"Let her in quickly."
After finishing speaking, the queen turned her head: "Speaking of which, you haven't seen Concubine Chun yet. You and her both come to my place frequently, but it's a coincidence that we can miss each other every time. Concubine Chun is a very talented woman, and she is also very talented. You are generally very nervous about my baby, and you will see it later."
While talking, a woman dressed in a blue flag walked in from behind the screen. She was dressed in two styles, and her hair accessories were almost made of jade. Fufeng's romantic charm.
"Greetings to Empress Chunfei."
Shichun stood up and asked for a blessing.
Concubine Chun was a little surprised and stopped at the same spot, looked at the queen and Shi Chun, and then said hastily: "Mrs. Fucha, please forgive me."
She looked at the queen and said with a smile: "It turns out that the young lady came to see my sister today. Did my sister come at a bad time and disturb my sister?"
The queen said: "How come? Shichun often comes to the palace, but every time I miss you, meeting today is also a fate, you don't have to stand up, sit down."
Concubine Chun smiled at Shi Chun, walked to the Queen's side, and sat down.
She looked at Shichun, couldn't hide the astonishment in her eyes, covered her mouth and smiled at the queen: "I have heard from people in the palace that the fourth young lady of Fucha's family is a stunning beauty, and my sister is also very curious. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.”
Shi Chun said: "Your Majesty has given her a high reputation. Others just look up to the Fucha family to praise the slaves."
"You are the empress's natal sister-in-law, so you don't need to call yourself a 'slave' in front of me. Mr. Fu Heng is such a young hero, I believe that he will earn his order for you soon." Concubine Chun looked at Shi Chun, gentle road.
Concubine Chun came to Changchun Palace to recuperate the queen's body.She is proficient in medicine, and has been on good terms with the empress since she was in the mansion, and because of this, the empress has always trusted her to take care of her body, even some hidden diseases that her close maids don't know about, dare to talk to her with confidence.
Shi Chun had withdrawn obediently when Concubine Chun had taken the medicine package from the jade pot. She was sitting in the shade of the courtyard, and Er Qing carefully served tea and snacks, and put them on the small table by her hand.
Shi Chun smiled: "Thank you, Miss Erqing."
Erqing said: "This is a slave's job. It may take a long time for the pure concubine to recuperate the empress's body. At this time, no one knows what they are doing inside, even the slave and Mingyu don't know. Come on, the empress and the pure concubine really have a great friendship, but I have to work hard, young lady, and wait outside a little longer."
Shi Chun smiled lightly: "It should be, it's nothing, the weather is fine, it's good to get more sunshine."
About the time of a stick of incense, Shi Chun turned over a page of the book, and heard the voices of the palace people in the courtyard saying hello.
She raised her head and saw that the main hall door was opened, and Erqing came out of the hall holding a piece of clothing. Shi Chun recognized that it was the one worn by the empress before.
She closed the book and looked down. A few days ago, Fu Heng bought her a miscellaneous journal. She just started reading it today. During the time when the empress and concubine Chun were closed, she actually finished half of the book.
She stood up, and the little maid took over the book in her hand, and cleaned up the tea beside her.
When Shi Chun entered the palace, Concubine Chun happened to be leaving, she blessed her body and saluted, Concubine Chun accepted it with a smile.
"Ma'am, are you leaving now?"
Concubine Chun said: "It's getting late, I've done what I should do, so I won't stay any longer."
"My lady, go slowly."
Concubine Chun nodded to her, smiled, and had a friendly attitude.
Shichun returned to the inner hall.
Concubine Chun walked out of the main hall holding the hand of the jade pot. When she stepped out the door, the sun was glaring, so she stretched out her hand to block it.
Erqing sent her out of the palace.
Concubine Chun took a look at her, looked at her, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile that was not a smile.
Walking to the gate of Changchun Palace, Er Qing blessed her body: "Respectfully send off the pure concubine."
But there was no response for a while, and after a long time, Concubine Chun's voice came, but it was not the usual cordial tone.
"I heard that Fu Heng's engagement was so hasty because your grandfather asked for marriage in court and forced him, so the emperor came up with this idea?"
Erqing's heart skipped a beat, why would Concubine Chun ask this?
She bowed her head: "Grandfather was also temporarily obsessed with ghosts. The servant thought he was not born high, and he was not as beautiful as the young lady, so he pleaded guilty and refused when the emperor asked."
Concubine Chun narrowed her eyes and sneered.
When she heard the news suddenly, she was so shocked that she didn't have time to study it carefully. However, the matter progressed too fast, and before she could react, the imperial edict had been issued, and she was already powerless to recover.
Concubine Chun later inquired many times, and this matter was obviously strange. The emperor had never inquired about Fu Heng's marriage, so how could he be so eager and even forced to decree the marriage? There are countless hidden lines in her hands, and she is as meticulous as a hair and has an exquisite heart. Others can't see through the development of the situation, but she has already made the whole thing go smoothly.
Over the years, she has looked at ladies for Fu Hengxiang, determined to let him marry the best woman in the world, and she must not wrong her sweetheart in the slightest.Now Nalan's did meet all her standards, but Concubine Chun was still furious.
In the end, it turned out to be a slave who influenced Fu Heng's marriage!
What is Hitaral?She had never looked directly at the court lady next to the empress before, and never thought that, with her, how dare she miss Fu Heng?In the end, the emperor forced Fu Heng to marry him.A servant who was dressed in clothes disrupted all her plans and hurriedly let Fu Heng marry him!
Concubine Chun didn't let Er Qing get up, she looked coldly at Er Qing's staggering figure due to half-kneeling for a long time, stepped forward, and said in a low voice:
"Bengong and the queen empress are like sisters. Fu Heng is no different from a brother in the eyes of this palace. He had to get married in such a hurry because of you. This is a humiliation to the Fucha family, to the queen, and to this palace."
"A slave in clothes, with a humble background, dares to look like the son of Fucha's family. I have looked down on you before."
Concubine Chun lowered her voice, and said lightly beside Erqing.
Before leaving, she lowered her eyes to look at Erqing, and she was facing Erqing's red eyes which were raised angrily.
Concubine Chun's face was indifferent, her eyes were full of contempt and contempt, she looked down at Erqing, cold and indifferent, as if she was looking at some dirty things that couldn't be seen.
She left, leaving a sentence:
"You don't even think about it, do you deserve it?"
Erqing clenched her teeth, her nails cut through her palm, and blood flowed from between her fingers, she seemed to be unconscious.
"I don't deserve it? Who deserves it? People who I can't get, do you think I will make them feel better?"
She murmured, a mad flame gradually burning in her eyes.
"Sister, it's not appropriate for you to take me to the Empress Dowager's banquet?"
Shi Chun stood aside, watched the queen make up her hair, and said.
"What's the matter? It's just that the queen mother wants to hold a banquet on a whim. It's not a big banquet. If you go, the queen mother may be happier."
Empress Fucha was actually a bit tired, but because the Empress Dowager was interested in entertaining the concubines of the sixth palace, she put on her best effort to dress up.
She looked sideways, seeing that Shichun was still worried, she stretched out her hand to cover Shichun's hand: "Don't worry, just pretend that you are going with me, I don't want to stay there alone."
What else can Shichun say, he can only respond: "Yes."
When they arrived at the place, many concubines had already sat there, and when they saw the queen arrived, they all got up to greet her.
"This is Mrs. Fucha, right?" Concubine Xian asked the queen kindly.
The queen arranged Shichun beside her, and nodded with a smile.
Concubine Xian was just about to say a few words of praise, but Concubine Gao came late and interrupted her words.
"Is the concubine late?"
The imperial concubine raised her voice and appeared at the door. She glanced at the queen, turned her gaze, and settled on Shi Chun, who was smiling and looking at the queen, and was startled.
"I didn't expect the Young Madam to be here, but Empress Madam, today is the Empress Dowager's banquet for the concubines of the sixth palace. It's a family banquet. It's a bit out of order for the Fucha Young Madam to be here."
Concubine Gao was a little anxious, Nalan Shichun's appearance here was completely unexpected.
The queen was about to speak, when a voice came from above: "Hey, I just wanted to have a meal with you. How can I be so particular about it? Is this the new wife of the Fucha family?"
"The concubine pays her respects to the Queen Mother."
The concubines of the six palaces all stood up and said in unison.
"Let's all sit down." The queen mother looked kindly, and said in a gentle voice. When the concubine sat down, she looked over.
"Slave Fucha Nalan, please greet the Queen Mother."
Under the different eyes of the concubines, Shi Chun came out from behind the table and knelt down to salute.
"Okay, if it's really dignified, courteous, beautiful and gentle, the Ai family can't be mistaken."
"This slave is lucky enough to be seen by the Empress Dowager. The emperor proposes marriage, and the emperor's grace is immense. This slave is very grateful."
"That's great." The queen mother laughed: "Are you going to the palace to see the queen today?"
"The emperor allowed Erniang to come to the palace to take care of the empress, but recently Erniang's eyes were not feeling well, so the servants entered the palace to serve the empress on behalf of Erniang."
"In that case, sit next to the Queen," said the Queen Mother.
Shi Chun stepped back and sat back.
Palace people filed in and began to set up a banquet.
After the queen saw the dishes on the table, she couldn't hide her discomfort. Shi Chunben focused all her attention on her, so naturally she noticed it immediately and looked over worriedly.
The queen shook her head, indicating that it was okay.
The queen mother raised the chopsticks first, and the concubine dared to move the chopsticks when she saw this, but before the banquet started, there were rustling sounds in the night sky.
Someone in the hall heard the voice first and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Gradually, the voice became louder, and everyone looked outside.
When the first bat appeared, someone gasped, and then the concubines jumped up from their seats screaming as if they had just realized it.
Shouts and screams were heard one after another in the palace. As more and more bats poured in, the scene gradually began to get out of control. The frightened concubines began to run wildly all over the palace. I don't know who knocked down the palace lanterns and candles. extinguished, the hall fell into darkness, and everyone panicked even more.
"Mingyu! Come here! Is there anyone! Is there anyone? Where's Shichun?"
Empress Fucha felt a bit flustered, she could feel herself being pushed around, and gradually being pushed towards the high platform involuntarily, she protected her stomach with one hand, and couldn't help shouting.
"Ma'am! I'm here."
A quiet voice suddenly rang in her ears, and the queen felt her other hand being tightly grasped.
She recalled in a daze, since the beginning of the chaos, it seemed that a hand had been tightly clutching her sleeve, never letting go.
"Shichun, is that you? Where are you?"
She fumbled in the dark in a panic, following the hand, but there were too many people around her, and she couldn't find where Shichun was.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment." Shi Chun held Empress Fucha's wrist with difficulty, and she felt that her arm was being clamped by two people. There were several people between her and the Empress, and she could only try her best to squeeze there.
Empress Fucha also squeezed towards the place where the voice came from.
The resistance she received was too great, and Shi Chun felt that it was impossible for her to advance against this force, so she relaxed her body and walked in the direction that the people around her wanted to push her to.
Finally, when she retreated to the high platform, there were no more people between her and Empress Fucha. Shichun heaved a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to go to the empress, she felt the force in her hand suddenly loosen, and she clenched her fingers subconsciously. Her body was tilted by the powerful force from Empress Fucha, her center of gravity was unstable, and the moment her knee landed on the ground, she was in pain, but she had no time to take care of it. All her attention was on her hands, and she took advantage of falling Stabilizing his center of gravity on the ground, he stretched out his other hand and grasped Empress Fucha's wrist with both hands.
The sky was dark, and her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness. Thinking that they were on a high platform, not far from the edge, she broke out in a cold sweat.
The pulling force on the Queen's side became stronger, and Shi Chun thought of the short scream he had heard before, so he gritted his teeth and held the Queen tightly.
At this moment, she only had one thought: the queen must not fall by accident.
If something happened to this child, it would only be the Fucha family who would suffer the most.
And she is the daughter-in-law of the Fucha family, and she and the Fucha family are both prosperous and hurt.
The chaos was gradually suppressed. In the room, under the calm command of Concubine Xian, everyone restored order. Some eunuchs and maids lit candles again, and the queen mother also regained her senses. She took the lead in looking for the pregnant queen with her eyes.
"Where's the queen?"
Concubine Xian glanced at the Queen Mother's expression and asked loudly.
"Your Majesty! Where is the empress?" Mingyu looked around anxiously, turned her head, and took a deep breath: "Empress! Oh my god! Quick! Hurry up and save the empress!"
The eunuch and maid holding the palace lantern shone in the direction she ran to, and all the people in the room screamed in a short time.
"The Empress!"
"Young lady!"
The lights illuminate the dim and remote high platform, reflecting a thrilling scene.
Empress Fucha half-body fell off the high platform, and the bottom of the flower pot on her right foot got stuck in the angle between the pillar and the platform wall, barely able to support a little force. Her right elbow tried her best to support the platform, but her body was huge Part of the center of gravity has been suspended, and it is absolutely impossible to have the strength to climb up.
Her left hand was hanging in the air and was tightly clenched.The hands on the side of the high platform were slender and white, as if they were carved from the finest white jade. At this moment, those hands were tightly held on the Queen's wrists, the joints were turning blue and white, and the wrists were worn on the edge of the platform, and there was blood It was dripping down the wall, onto the Queen's arm.
The fourth young lady of Fucha fell to the ground. In order to save the queen, her complexion was already pale, her arms were about to lose strength, and her palms were wet with sweat. She was almost unable to hold on anymore, and the queen's hand was slipping from her hand little by little.
At this moment, several strong eunuchs stretched out their hands and grabbed the queen's arm, and said softly: "Young Madam, you can let go, you and your empress are safe."
She lost all her strength, and dropped her hands weakly, panting for a long time before exhaling heavily.
Shi Chun watched the maids and eunuchs rushing forward to help the empress, she looked absentmindedly twice, someone gently helped her up, the empress dowager stood in front of her caringly, and said words of thanks to her.
She couldn't hear any of this.
She felt her hands covered in her sleeves shaking like chaff, and the cold sweat on her back wet her clothes.
When they heard that the queen had been rescued, the imperial physician rushed over. After diagnosing, the queen was frightened and comatose, and the fetus showed signs of premature delivery, but fortunately, there was no serious danger.
She bit her lip, took a deep breath tightly, and was able to speak calmly and politely: "Slave, I want to go back to Fucha's house, and let Emiang know about your mother's situation, so as not to panic in the house."
She didn't hear what the Queen Mother said or what Concubine Xian said.
She didn't close her eyes until she heard the "OK", and her tense body relaxed.
She wants to go back, she wants to see Fu Heng.
