Chapter 54 Yangyan Flower Soup for the Noble Concubine
Xie Guifei drank the bowl of petal soup specially prepared by the empress dowager, which made the concubines a little envious. She really wanted to ask the empress dowager for a recipe to go back. If she could drink a bowl every day, she would definitely make her beautiful face stay for a long time.
But Ling Xiao was in a state of shock at this moment. She stared at Xie Guifei's bowl of soup, and her body almost trembled slightly. In order to confirm her guess, she still wanted to concentrate on smelling the soup. Unfortunately, she was a little far away from the noble concubine and could hardly smell it. But based on what she saw and connected the stakes of the child in the noble concubine's belly, Ling Xiao had a very bold and unbelievable guess - that soup can indeed beautify the face, but it is a fatal abortion soup for pregnant women!
In the past, she went to Baicaotang when she had nothing to do. Liu Bo was good at medicine and unconsciously taught her a lot of things. She also studied hard. Originally, she just thought that she and her mother had a minor problem, so she was not afraid, but now it seems to be of greater use. No wonder her mother later asked her to go to Baicaotang more, as if she intended to learn more about medicine. But look at Xie Guifei today, if she can understand some pharmacologicals, then... In fact, it's useless for her to understand. Does the Empress Dowager dare to disobey it?
Thinking of this, I don't know how Uncle Liu and others are doing, and Brother Ping'an. Since the imperial edict of Jingzhong University came down, she has never been to Baicaotang because of all kinds of messy things, and later she had no chance. Maybe I won't see it in my life.
"Your concubine, look how much your mother loves you. Although she doesn't go to Guhua Palace all year round and doesn't care much about things outside, she still cares about you." The queen took a sip of the sweet soup in front of her and said to the noble concubine with a smile.
"Empress dowager, do you think the queen is jealous? My son is brave. Can you also give the queen a bowl of petal soup just now?" Xie Guifei's rare coquettish appearance makes people really not used to it, but it is also full of amorous feelings and tenderness. Is it the same in front of the emperor?
As for the words of the noble concubine, the empress dowager said lightly, "That's what pregnant women eat. What does the queen want to do?"
As soon as this was said, the smile on the queen's face reluctantly rose, but it was not good to lose her temper in front of the Empress Dowager, but the bitterness in her eyes was still clear. She entered the palace no later than the noble concubine, but she has no body so far, but she can't be blamed for this. There were not many times when the emperor went to her palace, and there were fewer nights. How could it be so easy to get pregnant?
Ling Xiao knew that if the empress dowager seemed to be cold and ruthless and did not give face to the queen at all, it was actually really good for the queen. That bowl of things can't be afforded by anyone.
But can the Empress Dowager really get such a vicious hand? Xie Guifei is pregnant with her descendants. Maybe it's her first grandson. Can she really be cruel? However, the Tian family is ruthless. It must not be easy for the Empress Dowager to get to this stage. This is her real side.
The banquet continued, and the noble concubine was very interested, but the empress dowager showed her fatigue. The concubine also came out to remind the empress dowager not to be tired, which obviously did not leave anyone. The queen, as a representative, stood up and said goodbye to the empress dowager.
The purpose of the empress dowager has been achieved. Naturally, she can't let the noble concubine continue to stay. Do you want everyone to watch the noble concubine give birth in the Guhua Palace?
"Shou'er, why did you look distracted in the Empress Dowager's Palace just now?" After going out, Lin Xuanyu took Ling Xiao to a secluded place to see that there was no one around and hurriedly asked her, "Is there something wrong?"
Ling Xiao's lips squeaked for a moment and hesitated to tell Lin Xuanyu about this matter. Seeing her eager look full of concern and worry, she still didn't say anything, but said, "The empress dowager quite value the son of the noble concubine."
" Xiaoer, think about it. The emperor spoils you so much. Sooner or later, you will have it." Lin Xuanyu comforted her, "What's more, now that the noble concubine is pregnant and can't serve the emperor, don't you have more opportunities?"
Hearing this, Ling Xiao not only didn't get comfort, but also had a small pimple.
"Yes, Xiaoer, have you come to this month?" Lin Xuanyu suddenly remembered, grabbed Ling Xiao's hand and asked, with his eyes shining.
"Not yet." Ling Xiao was stunned, lowered her head and touched her stomach. Will there be a child who belongs to her here one day?
Lin Xuanyu heard this and said quickly, "Then go back and ask the doctor to have a look. Maybe it's there."
Ling Xiao smiled helplessly and said anly, "Sister! What are you talking about? It's so easy to have?
Lin Xuanyu also wants to persuade her to find a doctor. Ling Xiao really wants to say that she has been growing up in the pharmacy since she was a child. Don't you know whether she is pregnant or not?
Back to Qiluan Hall, Ling Xiao felt absent-minded in everything he did. He couldn't sit still. He read a book for a while. He picked it up and his eyes were dazzled without reading a few lines. He wanted to sleep for a while, and he couldn't sleep.
"Green fog." Ling Xiao simply got up, sat on the edge of the window, and called the green fog over.
"Miss, are you calling me?" Qingwu came in with tea from the outside, handed it to Ling Xiao, and asked.
Ling Xiao picked it up and took a sip, but it didn't taste anything. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the Yingyue Palace and said, "Let Erlan always pay attention to the news in the palace, especially in the noble concubine's palace."
Qingwu looked at Ling Xiao's unusually solemn face and nodded.
It didn't take until the evening, and there was no news coming out. Ling Xiao couldn't sit still and called Erlan aside and ordered.
Erlan came back after going out for a long time, and it was almost dark. Ling Xiao waited for her directly at the door. When he saw her coming back, he hurriedly asked, "How's it going?"
"The noble concubine is fine, and there is no sign of discomfort." Erlan shook his head.
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said nothing. He finished the dinner tastelessly, simply washed up and lay down.
Today's thing is too unusual and unexpected. She really can't figure out what's going on. She was not disappointed with the news that Erlan came back. Although she didn't like the noble concubine, she was not so vicious that she wanted the innocent child to die. However, she saw the noble concubine drink the bowl of soup with her own eyes. Up to now, the effect of the medicine should have a seizure no matter what. How can everything be "good"? Question mark
If she guesses correctly, there should be a lot of Lingxiao flowers in the bowl of soup. Usually, the general public uses safflower for abortion, which is the most effective medicine, but it is precisely because many people recognize it, so the Empress Dowager certainly does not use it. Well, looking at the color of the soup, Bacheng is known as the abortion flower by the people.
But why does the noble concubine have nothing to do? Or is it that she has gone wrong, but she hasn't spread the news? So why did she deliberately block the news of misconduct? Is it to use this matter to create a trap?
Concubine Xie must be able to guess that it was the empress dowager, but of course she did not dare to ask the empress dowager for an explanation. So she wants to use the child's death to create an illusion of being murdered by other concubines?
However, does a woman, a woman who is eager to give birth to a child to consolidate her position, really have extra thoughts and energy to plan something else after losing this child?
But it's really hard to say. Isn't the last time at the lakeside enough to show that the noble concubine is ruthless? A living child can still put it in a dangerous situation, not to mention a child born child? That child is dead anyway. It's better to let him do something more for himself and make good use of it. By the way, he can get rid of his opponents in the palace. Why not?
Even if the empress dowager knows it, she will not stand up and speak for the wronged person. Does she want to tell everyone that she killed the emperor's son with her own hands?
So, who does the noble concubine want to harm? Is it still her Lingxiao? I didn't succeed last time. Will you do it again this time? Thinking of this, Ling Xiao is like a thorn on his back, and he has already guessed a rough idea. So what should he do next? You can't just sit back and wait for death, can you?
"Ling Xiao, why did you rest so early today?" A candlelight suddenly lit outside the curtain, and a man's voice came.
Ling Xiao was shocked and almost jumped up from **. Then he realized that it was the emperor who came. Your Majesty, why are you here? What's wrong with the people outside? They don't even pass it on. Ling Xiao hurriedly got up from ** and remembered that his temples were messy and his makeup was not neat at this moment. He hurriedly reached out to tidy up, but the emperor had lifted the curtain and sat down by the bed.
"I told them not to pass it on. Let's see what my little Lingxiao is doing." The emperor hugged her in one hand and scraped her nose with the other. Now in front of Ling Xiao, as long as there is no one else in private, his self-proclaim has been changed to "I", which is also a touching point that makes Ling Xiao. When they get along with each other, they have a lot less sense of distance. It is no longer the feeling of being as humble as an ant talking to the high god, but more like standing on the same ladder.
Ling Xiao blushed with shame and wanted to turn his head to prevent him from seeing it. He said angrly, "My concubine's clothes are not neat. The emperor'd better not look at it!"
"In my heart, Ling Xiao is beautiful no matter what he looks like. What are you afraid of?" Seeing Ling Xiao's shy appearance, the emperor smiled happily, but he couldn't bear to see her so embarrassed, so he stopped teasing her and helped her sort out her hair slightly.
"Your Majesty, why did you come suddenly? Didn't you say that you didn't live in your own palace today?" Ling Xiao turned his head and asked.
"What? Isn't Ling Xiao welcome?" The emperor asked narrowly.
"Of course not..." Ling Xiao waved his hand hurriedly, "Of course I hope... Oh, no, I..."
"Well, I'm just tired of it. I suddenly remembered that I didn't come to see you yesterday, so I came to have a look, which is also a surprise for you." The emperor interrupted her and said, holding her tighter and tighter, and her breath became stronger.
Ling Xiao felt itchy in his ears, his body began to heat up, and his heartbeat accelerated. After listening to the emperor's words, I was quite happy, but suddenly I remembered what Lin Xuanyu said during the day, "If the noble concubine is pregnant, you will have more chances." In retrospect, it's true. Since Xie Guifei was pregnant, the emperor seems to have run to Qiluan Hall more times.
Does he often come to his side, really just because Xie Guifei is pregnant and can't serve him? Ling Xiao's hot body suddenly cooled down.
