Chapter 146 New Year to Death
Ling Xiao knew that she should calm down at this time, but when she saw Ling Yuechan's face, she couldn't help moving. In fact, there is not much suspense about this matter. Since the imperial doctor said that there is no problem, even if Ling Yuechan is really not feeling well, it has nothing to do with her. As for whether it is not good for pregnant women to eat it, doesn't the royal doctor even have this judgment?
But at this moment, Ling Xiao didn't want to stand here in front of the woman in front of her anymore. She felt that she would continue to stay and have to move the fetus. She took the double plum cake and plum dew and ate all the rest in one gulp.
This is made by herself. So many people have eaten it. Is there any problem? Although deliberately proving something in this way makes Ling Xiao feel a little humiliated, this is the most powerful explanation. It can immediately smash Ling Yuechan's slander and there is no need to pester with it.
As a result, of course, there was nothing wrong. Ling Xiao took the handkerchief handed over by Qingwu and gently wiped his mouth. He turned to the queen and said, "Mother, if there is no order, the concubine will go back to the hall first."
"Then the noble concubine, go back first. Xiao Ronghua will take good care of this palace. Don't worry. Don't worry too much." The queen gave her permission and gave her a deep look, and there was something in her words.
At this time, Ling Yuechan's fetal medicine also came, and Ling Xiao did not stay any longer and went straight back to the night banquet. The so-called sisterhood is really nothing to pretend, and it can't be pretended anymore. She just said to the queen, "Then please the queen."
As soon as she returned to Feng Yuqi's side, Feng Yuqi immediately asked her how she was doing. Ling Xiao couldn't help being a little angry. He always felt that Feng Yuqi was caring about Ling Yuechan. Although this was right, after all, the man's stomach was pregnant with his child, but Ling Xiao's breath still did not recover.
"Xiao Ronghua is not feeling well with the cake made by his concubine. Your Majesty, you have just used it. Do you need to ask the imperial doctor to have a look?" Ling Xiao's voice was very soft, only Feng Yuqi around him could hear it, and his face was not particularly different, and he did not let others see what was wrong.
Feng Yuqi was stunned when he heard it. He heard that the smell was coming, and he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. However, looking at her like this, he knew that there should be nothing wrong. He replied softly, "If there is something wrong with the pastry made by the concubine, it must be that the person who ate it is not in good health."
After listening to this slightly ridiculative reply, the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth couldn't help raising, and his heart was much more comfortable. Then she opened her mouth and became much calmer. "The Empress is taking care of her sister, and the royal doctors are also there. There should be nothing to do. I will come back and talk to the emperor first. Don't worry."
Feng Yuqi nodded. Sure enough, it wasn't long before the queen came back, and then Ling Yuechan also returned to her seat. From time to time, there are people going in and out during the banquet, and there are also singers and dancers, so no one sees anything strange.
At this time, it is getting late. As in previous years, the night banquet dispersed before midnight, but the candlelight everywhere in the palace is not extinguished at all. The old year is coming to an end, and the dawn of the New Year is coming. People are all expected to welcome the brand-new future.
The queen left at the same time and went to Zhaoyang Palace. The rest of the people left according to their grades. Before long, the banquet hall returned to its original silence.
I don't know how long this silence lasted, and it didn't last long. Feng Yuqi and the queen returned to Zhaoyang Palace, and there were waiters to report it. I'm afraid it's not good.
The word "bad" can't be said casually. People in the palace are auspicious in everything. It's easy not to say those words. If it's not really "bad", no one will touch this mold.
At that moment, Feng Yuqi was in a momentary trance. He suddenly felt that the wind outside the window was still. Obviously, he heard the "huh" cold wind blowing across his ears just now. How could there be nothing at once?
The queen's face also changed, but she calmed down first and told the people around her, "Go and prepare the sedan chair quickly. The emperor and I are going to Qiluan Hall!" There is a trace of imperceptible panic in the words.
When the two emperors and queens came to Qiluan Hall in a fiery manner, they saw the imperial doctors look like mourning. Seeing the arrival of the emperors, they took off their tops and knelt down and fell to the ground one after another, shouting, "I am guilty to death."
I don't know how Feng Yuqi got to Ling Xiao. The last time I heard that Ling Xiao fainted outside the Feixian Palace, although he was very nervous, he did not have the same sense of collapse as he is now. ** The man's face was pale, without a trace of blood. He still frowned tightly while sleeping, as if he was enduring great pain.
Qingwu, Erlan, Catwoman and others all knelt down beside them, with tears on their cheeks, especially the green fog. The tears were not dry, and there were new dripping down, and their eyes were red and swollen, and their eyes were full of sadness.
"What's going on?" When he got to the outside, Feng Yuqi wiped these words out of his throat, with a cold feeling and boundless heartache.
The air seemed to be still, and the people present seemed to stop breathing. No one dared to speak first. Everyone could see that the emperor in front of him was like a beast about to explode at this moment. If he was not careful, he might be torn to pieces.
Or the queen came forward and asked someone to bring Qingwu to her and ask her, "You are Ling Gui's close maid of honor. Tell me, what's going on? Why did the noble concubine..." Half of the words, the queen couldn't go on and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
When Qingwu heard the queen's question, he just woke up from his muddle-headedness. His dull eyes stared at the front, and suddenly covered his cheeks with his hands and tried his best to suppress and sob in a low voice. After a while, she told the whole story intermittently.
In fact, it's very simple. On the way back to the palace from Yanping Hall, several people carrying the sedan chair accidentally fell down. Ling Xiao fell off the sedan chair, and the child was gone.
Those people have been locked up at this moment, but the son in Ling Xiao's womb can't be saved. Even if it was announced that the imperial doctor would come immediately after the incident, it was too late.
According to reason, Ling Xiao has been pregnant for three months. Even if she falls, she can be rescued in time, and she should not have a minor child so easily. The doctors said that maybe because her body was too thin, she couldn't stand it.
"Really, is there nothing we can do?" After listening to the story, Feng Yuqi was silent. After a long time, he asked this sentence weakly. Although it was a question with expectation, what people felt was deep despair.
No one answered.
Feng Yuqi sat back to Ling Xiao's bed and asked everyone to retreat. He only ordered all the imperial doctors to stay in the palace. Although he was waiting for the summons, he must save Ling Gui's life. At this time, he no longer dares to have too many extravagant expectations, as long as she is alive.
Lingxiao woke up before dawn. When he woke up, he still felt the darkness in front of him, and the vast night seemed that he could never see his head.
Feng Yuqi held her hand tightly and hugged her carefully. He wanted to warm her with his body. He muttered gently, not knowing whether he was comforting her or comforting himself, "We will have it in the future."
Ling Xiao's two lines of tears came down, burning, but cold.
This incident spread all over the palace that night, and the next day, everyone knew that the emperor killed several sedan chairmen in Qiluan Hall on the first day of the first lunar month. At the same time, Ling Guicubine, who had just been awarded the title, was awarded again overnight, Ling Zhaoyi. Some people even sigh that it is worth it if it can be sealed at such a high level if it is a small birth once.
When Ling Xiao heard this, his stiff face stiffly pulled out a sarcastic smile. His trembling hands covered his flat lower abdomen, and he trembled all over. It's probably because she is particularly weak after giving birth. There are four charcoal basins in the bedroom, which are in every corner, but she still feels chilly.
Those sedan chairs were not the first day to serve her. How could she be so careless when she was pregnant and commit such a big crime of losing her head? Finally, he carelessly took his life at the moment before the New Year?
Ling Xiao sent someone to check it in private. There was a faint oil stain in the place where she fell. Although it had been dealt with, she could still find a little clue when she looked carefully. And after Feng Yuqi left, she summoned Hua Wensheng again and asked him to take a silver needle to test her for poison.
When the silver needle was pulled out of her abdomen, she saw the light red tip of the needle. Immediately, the silver needle fell to the ground, and a tear fell. She should have guessed it a long time ago. It was all her fault. That night, she was so impetuous that she was so impetuous that she said so easily!
Those inner supervisors carrying sedan chairs, obviously, someone deliberately splashed oil on their only way back to the palace in advance, which caused her to fall. What's more, Ling Xiao's own body knows that she looks thin, but she is not weak, and the fetal image has always been stable during these days. Even if she falls, she will not easily have a miscarrius.
So, what the hell is going on? Ling Xiao recalled it carefully and guessed it. After measuring it with a silver needle, he was sure what he was thinking.
Naturally, there will be no problem with the food at the dinner party. If something goes wrong, it may only be the two snacks she made herself. Ling Xiao has never eaten anything made by other concubines. Of course, there is no problem with making it yourself, but the most important thing is that the double plum cake and plum dew have left her sight.
Many people ate double plum cake, and there should be no problem, but at first, plum blossom dew was only tasted by Ling Yuechan. Before long, she said that her stomach was uncomfortable. Now that I think about it, there are only two possibilities.
First, either Ling Yuechan sprinkled Lingxiao pollen in the plum dew when people were not paying attention, deliberately drank it by herself and wanted to frame Ling Xiao. At the same time, she forced Ling Xiao to drink the rest, which made her also poisoned. Because Lingxiaohua was not a kind of poison, the imperial doctor did not find it when he took the pulse, and the snacks used as evidence had been eaten by Ling Xiao, and there was no way to find out. Even if she found it, she had nothing to say, and she would even be beaten upside down. It doesn't matter if it's just a trace of pollen, but then fall...
In addition, either Ling Yuechan's abdominal pain is simply disguised, and the purpose is to make Ling Xiao drink the passive plum dew. As for the future, it is the same as the previous guess.
Ling Xiao thought that she couldn't hate Ling Yuechan at all. The person she hated most was herself. She was so cautious that she didn't calm down at the most critical time, which caused the child she had been looking forward to for so long, the child who had entrusted her so much hope.
But if she is more cautious and more careful, how can she not notice the strangeness in the plum blossom dew with her medical skills?
