"Sister Hua, you are one of the few of us who are quite popular with His Royal Highness. Can you bear such a thing?"
Greetings this day, after being left to hang out for more than half a day, Yu Jiao said yin and yang strangely after a few people left the door.
Xiaohua didn't make a sound, and let Ding Lan wait and put on the cloak.
After Yu Jiao said this, she also felt a little boring.
Everyone knows King Jing's temperament. He seldom came to the backyard without speaking, and he never communicated with his wives and concubines in the backyard. Under the circumstance of King Jing's indifference, Princess Jing, as the main concubine, is the largest in the backyard. It is not reasonable to give some face or take care of the few concubines below.
Everyone understands this truth, and Xiaohua also understands, which is why she knew that the person who bought Chunzhu was from Princess Jing's side, but she didn't want to break it, not to mention that King Jing didn't come to her for some days.
"If Madam Yu doesn't want to come to pay her respects, she can go to His Highness and tell her, if you're not sure, His Highness is fine. Anyway, the concubine thinks she doesn't have such a face."
Leaving her words, Xiao Hua left, leaving behind Yu Jiao, who was choked so hard.
Concubine Qiao Hehe laughed, and Shi Shiran left.
Xiaohua returned to the west courtyard, changed her clothes and sat down on the heated kang.
The matter of Chunzhu, Princess Jing's strangeness, all made Xiaohua nervous, but she had a headache for a while and didn't know how to solve it.
Her heart was so oppressed, as if a stone was pressing on her heart, and she even felt suffocated when she was alone.
Chunmei came over to report that there was a small palace man at the sweeping place outside who wanted to see his wife, saying that she had known Mrs. Hua in the past and had something to report.
"Chuncao, who are you going to see?"
After a while, Chuncao came back and said it was Qiaolian.
Qiaolian? Qiaolian returned to the sweeping place
Xiaohua thought about it, and then let Chuncao bring people in.
Qiaolian's appearance is no different from before, but because it is not easy to sweep the place in winter, she is a little haggard and embarrassed. But even so, her attitude was still so inferior, and there was a strong sense of jealousy mixed with it.
You Qi entered the room and saw the little flower who was sitting on the top seat with a frown but couldn't hide her delicate beauty, which made the jealousy in her eyes almost gushing out.
"It's still rude to see Madam." Ding Lan said aside.
Qiao Lian was stunned for a moment, and bowed unwillingly.
Seeing such a Qiaolian, Xiaohua wanted to laugh a little, and felt that this person had never changed from beginning to end. Didn't she know that she was easy to cause trouble and offend people like this
"What's the matter, tell me." Xiaohua said lightly.
Qiaolian was choked with anger by Xiaohua's attitude, and she wanted to lose her temper because she knew that the person in front of her was something she couldn't afford to offend. Eyes widened, he simply did not ink, took out a small purse from his arms and threw it on the flower table beside him.
"Others asked me to harm you and buried them in the soil of this yard while I was on business. I wondered if I wanted to take advantage of me because of my bad personality. I can't let others be fools. I just asked you for this."
Seeing the purse, Lilac was stunned for a moment, went to look at it, turned back to Xiaohua and whispered a few words in her ear. As soon as he finished speaking, he wrapped the purse with a handkerchief and took it out for disposal.
Xiaohua's complexion first condensed, then turned calm.
After a long while, he looked at Qiao Lian in a complicated way and said, "Your temper has not changed." There was a hint of sigh and memory in her tone.
Qiaolian was choked again, her face turned sideways, and she did not speak.
Seeing Qiaolian like this, Xiaohua felt very uncomfortable. I have always hated this person, but I didn't expect her to do such an unexpected thing this time.
"You don't have to thank me. Although I have a disgusting temperament, I have always been clear. You are very lucky. My jealous eyes are red, so I don't have to act like this."
These words made Xiaohua's complicated mood lighten a little, she said with a smile: "I know you have always been jealous of me, otherwise you wouldn't have cut my clothes back then."
Before Qiaolian could open her mouth to refute, she continued: "It's just a little stupid, at least it's stupid compared to Xiuyun."
Qiaolian was stagnant at first, and then startled by the word 'Xiuyun', she twitched the corners of her mouth, trying to scoff unsuccessfully, and then turned into a very embarrassed hum. She wanted to say why Xiaohua wanted to stimulate her with Xiuyun, Xi'er wasn't the one who watched Xiuyun get killed. I also want to say that it is because you are smart...
Countless words came to her mouth and swallowed again, she was no longer who she was. I was ignorant, arrogant, fearful, timid, and finally grew up, but unfortunately it didn't grow well...
Then, with a face full of dejection, he said, "That's what my character is, anyway, it's just annoying."
"You can understand that you are disgusting, and it is also a kind of progress."
"You—" Qiaolian's eyes first stared, and then she said impatiently: "You are angry when you are silent, and you are angry when you are silent. Stop talking, I have to go back, don't ask who I am. I don't know that person either." After a while, he said, "Zuo just doesn't like you, and wants to harm you."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Hua with a jealous look, "You are so hated, you are obviously a low-ranking palace servant, and you flew up the branches all of a sudden."
"Can you speak?" Chuncao couldn't stand it any longer and scolded.
Xiaohua raised her hand to stop Chuncao's next words, she showed an indescribable smile, and murmured, "Yeah, I am too jealous."
"You should give birth to a child earlier. His Highness has no heir, so if you have a child, you will be safe." Qiao Lian said with a complicated expression.
"You still understand this?"
"Haven't eaten pork and haven't seen Pig Run? The situation of the family I served before was much more complicated than here."
"That's why people are too stupid to get along and be sold." This is Xiaohua's guess, guessed from some branches and leaves that have been known in the past.
Qiaolian was stagnant again, and said dejectedly: "I think I am annoying, and you are also annoying."
Xiaohua sighed and returned to the topic.
"I heard that you are working in the sweeping department now. I will ask someone to change it for you later. It's just that you know my current situation, so it's hard to say whether I can do it or not."
Qiaolian didn't speak, she turned and left. If she doesn't leave, she doesn't know if she will be pierced by jealousy, or if she will regret not listening to that person to harm her.
Walking to the door, she suddenly said with her back behind her back, "I think it's good to sweep the place, at least there are not so many things, I can't go to a good place with my personality."
"It's not too late for you to understand. Qiaolian—"
Qiaolian stopped.
"I'll try not to involve you in this matter. If someone asks you if you've buried it, just say you've buried it."
"I know, it's up to you to say it." Qiaolian's way of speaking is always so annoying, but what she does is never unexpected.
After Qiaolian left, Xiaohua sat there for a long time.
When Lilac came back, her face was very ugly.
It was found that two lotus bags contained the same thing one after another. I really don't know whether to lament Madam Hua's good luck or lament that Madam Hua was too unlucky.
One after another, Xiaohua was overwhelmed for a while. This kind of harmful medicine is unheard of, unseen, and it is far beyond the environment she has been exposed to in her previous life.
I found one, and another came out, and I don't know if there will be a third or fourth... Suddenly, there is a very tired feeling, and there is a kind of irritability that makes her want to go crazy...
"Ma'am, what should I do about this?"
"Let me think about it."
After saying this, Xiaohua went to the inner room alone, and no one came in to serve.
Xiaohua didn't even have a meal at noon, and Lilac hesitated and hesitated before going in and calling her.
It wasn't until more than half an hour later that Lilac was really worried before entering the inner room and saw the little flowers sitting on the heated kang under the bedroom window.
"lady."
Xiaohua responded.
After a long time, he said, "Lilac, do you want me to take a gamble?"
Lilac whispered: "This slave does not understand this."
Xiaohua smiled, either she didn't understand or she wasn't sure.
She didn't say this, but said again: "Do you think Your Highness is a favor to me?"
This lilac is even more afraid to pick up, even Mrs. Hua herself can't figure out how much she can understand even if she is a smart slave. Maybe a little bit, but whether King Jing with such a strange temperament can make trouble for his wife and princess, no one can say.
"In their eyes, His Highness treats me differently, but why am I so clueless?"
The inner room was extremely quiet, and Lilac kept her head down and said nothing.
Xiaohua suddenly chuckled twice, "It's really hard to think about a leisurely life, I've been forced to have no way out." After a while, she said again, "I remember you said that the internal affairs are all in order. Aunt is in charge, take those two things and report them to Aunt Qi."
"Yes."
If there is no way back, then there is no going back.
******
Lilac moved very quickly, and the two purses in the box were quickly handed to Aunt Qi.
Aunt Qi looked at the contents of the box, her face suddenly darkened.
Lilac had already guessed that this was not a good thing, but only after seeing Aunt Qi's face did she realize how 'bad' it was.
"Auntie, what is this?"
Aunt Qi glanced at Lilac, and said in a deep voice, "This is a yin medicine, which is not common. Buried in the soil will volatilize a medicinal property, which will damage the body of the woman. Those who are pregnant will have miscarriage, and those who are not pregnant will have a long contact time. It will also be infertile, which is very negative."
There is another sentence that Aunt Qi didn't say, that is, this medicine is in the palace. Of course, there may be outside, but it is extremely rare, and even if there is, it has something to do with the palace.
So there is no need to investigate, Aunt Qi knows who is most suspected.
It seems she is in a hurry!
Someone's eagerness made Aunt Qi suddenly feel a little more indescribable refreshment. This emotion is very subtle, and Lilac can't see it.
"Later I will send someone to the West Court to help with the investigation, so as not to miss anything. As for Mrs. Hua, I also need to see a doctor, so as not to accidentally worry about other things. I will arrange these, Your Highness. I will also report it, you go back first."
Lilac was blessed and left.
Aunt Qi moved very quickly. Not long after Lilac came back, a team of middle-aged palace people came to the West Courtyard, all of them were cold and solemn, saying that they came to the West Courtyard to help with the investigation.
After Lilac came back, she conveyed Aunt Qi's words to Xiaohua, who had lingering fears in her heart, and could not help but have a deeper understanding of this kind of guilt. It is more than happy to see someone help with the investigation.
Xiaohua went to the main hall and sat down. The palace servants were accompanied by Lilac and Dinglan to various places in the east wing. After a while, the whole house was inspected, even the back room, the warehouse, and the two ear rooms. I haven't let it go in the yard, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I dig three feet in the ground.
It turned out to be a relief, no other pickles.
And Chunzhu was also taken away for questioning. Xiaohua guessed that Qiaolian would also be taken for questioning, but Qiaolian took the initiative to hand it over, so there should be nothing wrong, as for Chunzhu, it is hard to say.
She can't protect herself now, so she doesn't think about Chunzhu. Thinking of the utility of what Lilac said in the purse, Xiaohua was in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, she was caught by Chuncao. If Chunzhu was really buried in it, she would like to breathe under the porch every day.
As a result, the only remaining compassion is gone.
Here, Lilac just brought someone to tidy up the East Wing, when Hu Liangyi came to the door.
"Hu Liangyi, trouble you again." Xiaohua said.
"No trouble, it's a matter of your own accord."
Hu Liangyi couldn't see anything on his face, and he didn't know if Aunt Qi had told him the details. Lilac put a jinpa on Xiaohua's wrist, and he stepped forward to take a pulse.
As soon as the hand touched it, before a few breaths had passed, Hu Liangyi's hand trembled, and his face was shocked.
Lilac's heart sank suddenly, and even Xiaohua could see the clue from Hu Liangyi's expression.
"Hu Liangyi, how is our wife?"
Xiaohua stared straight at Hu Liangyi, her heart was pounding, and her temples exploded to the point of pain.
It will be fine, it should be fine, Chunzhu was just about to be buried when it was discovered, Qiaolian handed it over directly, but Xiaohua had a bad feeling in her heart.
"This-"
Hu Liangyi could not wait to slap himself at this time. He had never shown a face in the past, but he would make such a mistake after leaving the palace for a long time.
At this time, if you hide it again, it will be a little more revealing, and how can you hide it, not to mention that Aunt Qi asked him to come for a pulse diagnosis because she was afraid that Mrs. Hua would be secretly handicapped.
After hesitating for a while, he slowly said, "Watching Madam's pulse, it seems that she has come into contact with musk and other cold things, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
Lilac was shocked, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Madam's personal food and meals are all checked by slaves and servants, and I have checked everything in the house just now, and there is no pickled food."
Xiaohua felt stunned on the spot, and her head hummed as if she had been hit hard with a stick.
It seemed as if the scene from her previous life was repeated again. In her previous life, she went to see a doctor because she was not feeling well. Because of the fierce battle with the Qiao family during that time, she did not even dare to invite a doctor in the house, but privately invited a doctor outside. Come in.
First, she was told that she only had a small cold. Seeing that the doctor's face was different, after repeated questioning, she realized that she had lost the ability to reproduce because of taking cold and cold things in her early years.
For a while, the two lives seemed to overlap strangely, Xiao Hua was in a trance and her face was pale.
Why can't she escape this vicious circle for two lifetimes? Hiding and keeping a low profile, it is still not as good as human chess!
What should she do
"Mrs. Madam..."
Xiaohua felt that she was being shaken by the cloves, but she couldn't calm down.
"Don't panic, Madam, Hu Liangyi said that there is still treatment, it's alright..."
Xiaohua shook her head vigorously, her eyes slowly seeing the situation in front of her.
I saw Hu Liangyi's brows furrowed, but his face was not serious, and he heard him say: "... madam, please don't be too anxious, the old man has not been in contact with the pulse for a long time, and he will take care of it for a year and a half. It will not affect future pregnancy problems."
Xiaohua's heart slammed to the ground, she took a deep breath, tried her best to stabilize her chaotic mind, and showed a smile that seemed to be both crying and smiling.
"Really?"
So, no despair yet
"Madam, please trust the old man's medical skills."
"How long will it take to heal?"
"This—" Hu Liangyi pondered for a moment, "this still depends on the physical condition of Madam, it may take a year or a half."
Xiaohua took a deep breath and asked again, "Can Hu Liangyi see what caused it?"
"Does Madam have the habit of incense?"
Hearing this, Lilac immediately asked Ding Lan to fetch the incense burner that she used to light incense in the room, including the incense sticks she ordered.
Hu Liangyi took it over and looked at it. He squeezed a pinch of incense ashes with his hands and smelled it, and then opened the box containing the incense tablets and looked at it.
After a long time, he shook his head, indicating that the incense was not abnormal.
Lilac also knew that there would be no abnormality. She knew that the palace servants were veterans of investigating these private affairs. If there was a problem in the incense, she would have found it out long ago.
"Hu Liangyi means that the musk and other cool things that Mrs. touches should come from incense?" Lilac asked.
"Watching the pulse should be like this, and it's accumulated little by little, but it's not too long, so it didn't cause much damage. The use of incense is slow, but it's fortunate."
Lilac's face was a little ugly, and she looked at Xiaohua.
Xiaohua knew that Lilac and her were thinking of something, she rubbed her brows, and her heart was very confused.
Lilac sent Hu Liangyi out, and people went to find Aunt Qi again.
The room was eerily quiet, and Ding Lan and Chuncao stood silently on the side, carefully looking at Xiao Hua's condensed expression. It was because the King of Gambling looked at her differently, but now there is still no conclusion on Princess Jing's side, but this has happened again.
For a while, Xiaohua really didn't know what to do.
"I'll go in for a while."
Chuncao carefully served Xiaohua and went to the inner bedroom to lie down.
"Madam, it's alright, Hu Liangyi said that it will be fine after a period of recuperation, and it won't affect anything." Chuncao said comfortingly, but her pale words couldn't even comfort her.
Now I have completely torn my face with the princess, and my wife's own situation is worrying. Now that this is happening again, the favor of His Highness seems to be absent. It seems that a year and a half is not long. After all, Madam Hua is not too old After a year and a half, who can know if there is still a pet in the future.
After all, His Highness is known to be indifferent. Maybe it seems that I have come to the Western Academy a lot now, maybe it is just a whim, what should I do after this whim
Why didn't Xiaohua understand this? She didn't speak, just stared tiredly.
ps: Please believe that it is not a bad thing that Huahua can't get pregnant for the time being, and she will not abuse the heroine.
If Hu Liangyi was talking about simulating liangke, in fact, it would not take as long as a year and a half.
This medicine is made up from face to face, so don't test it. However, there are really a lot of anti-pregnancy pills in ancient times. I have checked the information, but there is no such thing as one that will kill you once you take it. Generally, you have to take it for a few days, and the prescription looks strange.
