In Huijiang Town, in an ordinary inn, on a bed in a certain guest room, lay a dying old woman in Tsing Yi.
The old woman seemed to be in her fifties, her face covered with yellow spots and wrinkles was as pale as paper at the moment, her mouth was stuffed with a bloody white gauze, she looked like she was already exhaling more air than inhaling, as if she would go west at any time go…
wanna die? ! How can it be so easy!
Nangong Yue smiled slightly, seemingly gentle, but also revealing a trace of almost cruel courage.
She sat down on a small bed beside the couch, and after cleaning her hands, she asked Baihui to take out the gauze from Nanny Lu's mouth, carefully observing the wound in her mouth.
At the same time, Wang Chaoyuan, the captain of the guard, presented a box, and Thrush took over.
Wang Chaoyuan couldn't help but glanced at the concubine Shi Zi who was facing away from him, feeling a little unsure in his heart, although he heard that the concubine Shi Zi had excellent medical skills, but her tongue was broken, can it really be connected? This is too mysterious, right
On the side, Baihui was making preparations, taking out candles, silver knives, silver needles, threads, and some bottles and cans from the medicine box...
Wang Chaoyuan really wanted to see what happened, but he saw the thrush blocking his way, and made a petition with a smile.
Wang Chaoyuan smiled and had to leave the room and came to the corridor, and then with a "squeak", the door was closed from the inside, leaving only Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue and the two maids inside.
"Boss," a guard with a mustache waiting in the corridor couldn't help coming over, and asked in a low voice, "Is the concubine Shizi really able to speak?" There was inevitably a hint of disbelief in his tone.
He has heard of bone-setting and tongue-cutting, but this tongue-cutting is really unheard of!
When the guard with the mustache said this, the other guards who came to work with Wang Chaoyuan this time also looked over in unison. Although they didn't speak, their eyes were a little bit uncertain.
Although they all knew that the concubine Shizi had superb medical skills, but the tongue that has been bitten off, can they be reattached
Doesn't that mean that even the severed arms and thighs can be reattached
If it wasn't for the princess concubine, this group of vigorous young people would have been unable to control their voices.
Wang Chaoyuan glanced at them indifferently, his eyes paused for a moment on a black-faced young man at the back, and said lightly: "The concubine Shizi said she can answer, then she can answer, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
In fact, Wang Chaoyuan didn't have much confidence in what he said, but since the prince let the concubine take action, he must have confidence in the concubine. Since the master believed in the concubine, it must be a success!
Since Wang Chaoyuan said so, the others also kept silent, waiting outside silently...
In the corridor, it was quiet, only the breathing of the guards, and the occasional sound of footsteps in the room could be faintly heard, mixed with the moaning of "吚吚咚咚咚" from Madam Lu.
The black-faced young man hiding in the corner had a gloomy complexion, staring nervously at the closed door, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Originally, he was the one who guarded Nanny Lu yesterday, that is, she went to the latrine. After a few breaths, he didn't hear the sound, and felt something was wrong. After rushing into the latrine, he found that Nanny Lu bit her tongue and killed herself...
The black-faced young man's fists were tightly clenched by his side, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. There was only one thought in his mind: This tongue must be attached!
Otherwise, I really have no face to face my son!
Of course Wang Chaoyuan saw it, and secretly sighed in his heart: Young people still need to practice!
"squeak-"
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the room was opened from the inside, revealing a small face with thrush eyebrows, and said: "Okay, you can come in."
Could it be that this tongue really has to be connected? !
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces were surprised first, and then surprise that could not be concealed.
Wang Chaoyuan came to his senses first, answered with a smile on his face, and hurried into the room.
There was a faint smell of blood in the room, mixed with a pungent smell of medicine. Nanny Lu on the bed still had bloody white gauze stuffed into her mouth. At first glance, the room seemed to be unchanged from before, but if you looked closely, you would find that the silver knives and silver needles on the small case beside her were all stained. There's blood stains, there's only a small section of that line left, and the box is empty...
Nangong Yue was cleaning her hands in a copper basin, her face couldn't hide the tiredness. It was obvious that although the treatment just took a while, it took a lot of her energy.
Xiao Yi graciously handed a white towel to her, and while she dried her bare hands, she said, "Chief Wang, in the past few days, I will ask Baihui to give her medicine, with a large dose of analgesic. Well, in three days at most, she should be able to speak." These days, you must take good care of people!
Nangong Yue didn't say the last sentence, but Wang Chaoyuan already understood it, and clasped his fists loudly to accept the order.
This time, they will definitely take good care of this Nanny Lu! Never go wrong again!
Afterwards, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi left the inn with a few maidservants. They would go back to Heyu City first, while Wang Chaoyuan and his party would wait for Nanny Lu to stabilize before going on the road, so as not to accidentally die on the road, which would be unsightly.
The dark-faced young man who followed Wang Huwei blinked stupidly, feeling like a dream.
Is Nanny Lu really alright? !
Isn't he dreaming? !
He strode over to the couch and saw that Nanny Lu, who had passed out, was breathing steadily and the room was a mess, but all he could see was the empty box, and the severed tongue that was originally placed in the box was his I put it in by hand.
For a moment, his eye sockets were a little moist, and his hanging heart finally let go, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
The concubine Shizi... is simply amazing!
A gust of cool wind blows into the room through the open window, bringing the fragrance of spring flowers, blowing away the smell of blood in the room, and spring is in full bloom.
On the other side of Dayu, the king's capital thousands of miles away is also immersed in the boundless spring. In the spring of March, warblers fly and grass grows.
In the back garden of Prince Gong’s Mansion, which is colorful in purple and red, next to a clear lake, a two-story water pavilion is built facing the lake. The lake softens together perfectly.
At this time, there was a melodious and melodious piano sound in the water pavilion, sad and sad, as if a woman in a boudoir was pouring out her heart...
A gust of wind blew, and the veils hanging on both sides of the water pavilion fluttered, and in the hall on the first floor, three women in pink veils danced to the music.
In addition to a few musicians and dancers, there are two young men sitting opposite each other across a pear tree table in the water pavilion. The two men seem to be heroic and extraordinary, but they are completely different. One is elegant and noble, and the other is handsome and rough. It also has a bit of exotic style.
The two held a small wine glass in their hands and drank together. Although the beauty was stunning and the music was melodious, they had their own thoughts and didn't pay attention to the music and dance at all.
"Sister-in-law, won't there be any problems with your Wuhe ointment?" Han Lingfu played with the delicate wine glass in his hand, his eyes sank, and he looked at Kui Lang with some concern, "This king got the news, I heard that the father has put the Wuhe Ointment was handed over to Tai Hospital, and I went to find someone to test the medicine... "
Han Lingfu subconsciously clenched the wine glass slightly harder, and finally came to this step. If the success falls short at this time, wouldn't the previous hard work be in vain!
"Brother Sanhuang, don't worry, there won't be any problem." Kui Lang said confidently, and then drank the contents of the cup in one gulp, thinking: This Dayu's wine is just weak, just like this song and dance In general, lamentation is boring!
The corner of Kui Lang's mouth curled up, and wolf-like viciousness appeared in his eyes, and he continued meaningfully: "Even if the Tai Hospital really tries something, Brother Wu Huang will not be able to 'escape'."
It's too late to suspect now, to test the medicine!
Dayu's future prince has been ruined!
Thinking of this, Kui Lang couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Dayu's fifth prince, Han Lingfan, was already expected to be the future emperor. Without this incident, Han Lingfan would succeed to the throne in the future, which would be very beneficial to the stability of Dayu, but now everything is different...
Han Lingfan is already useless now...
Han Lingfu couldn't help but also laughed, and drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp, saying: "So, this king can rest assured!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, but they were at odds with each other, and each had their own ghosts.
Kui Lang glanced at Han Lingfu, and there was a flash of excitement in his eyes. The more chaotic Dayu was, the better it would be for him.
The Tian family has no father, son, or brothers, so he should just watch the scene where the brothers of the Dayu royal family fight each other. Only in this way can he benefit from Baiyue!
Aside from being excited, Kui Lang felt a little worried when he thought about putting on clothes.
Yes, there is no blood relationship in the royal family! Although the sixth brother is his own mother and sixth brother, how can a person have no selfishness, how can a person not yearn for power and status, will the sixth brother always be towards himself
If the sixth emperor really had a different heart, would he take the opportunity to replace him with himself
Thinking of this, Kui Lang's heart shuddered, and his eyelids were half drooped to block the strange look in his pupils.
Xiao Lizi, who was serving at the side, saw that the wine glasses of the two were empty, so he quickly poured some more wine for them.
At this time, the sound of the zither stopped, and it was just a song. There was only a soft sound of pouring wine echoing in the water pavilion, and then the music sounded again. This time, the sound of the zither was passionate, like the rushing waterfall pouring down , splashing water.
Kui Lang held the wine glass again, stared at the full wine, his eyes flashed, and said: "Brother Sanhuang, now that the war between Nanjiang and Nanliang is over, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion must spare no effort to send a hundred troops. Yue, help me to restore." As he spoke, he looked up at Han Lingfu, "Brother Sanhuang, Brother Sanhuang will rely on Brother Sanhuang for Father Huang."
In order to restore and regain Baiyue, he has done everything he can do, married Princess Dayu, and he did not hesitate to exchange half of Baiyue's country, if it still fails... No, he will not fail!
Han Lingfu is also a smart person, his eyes flashed.
It can be heard from Kui Lang's tone that he is very confident that Zhennan Palace will help him send troops. But Baiyue and Nanjiang have a feud! Where did Kui Lang get his confidence? ! Could it be that Kui Lang has reached some kind of agreement with Prince Zhennan and his son
Kui Lang has been staying in the capital, so it is self-evident who represented him to go to the southern border to negotiate with Zhennan Wang and his son...
Han Lingfu knew it in his heart, but he didn't expose it. He just reminded lightly: "Sister-in-law, if you want to reassure the father, you should work harder. It is the right way to let the king's third sister give birth to a child as soon as possible."
Kui Lang's expression froze slightly, but he still nodded and said, "Brother Sanhuang said so."
Han Lingfu picked up the wine glass and paused in mid-air. Kui Lang immediately understood and held the glass too. The two looked at each other and smiled, both drank it down in one gulp, their eyes seemed to say—
Happy cooperation!
After the two put down their wine glasses, Xiao Lizi was about to pour wine for them again when he heard a rush of footsteps outside.
A little maid in a blue dress ran over panting with her skirt, stepped in quickly and knelt down and said, "My lord, Concubine Bai has activated early, I'm afraid she's about to give birth!"
"Xiao'er is going to give birth?!" Han Lingfu stood up suddenly in a gaffe, and bumped into the rose chair behind him. With a "click", the sound of the piano stopped abruptly in an instant, and the dancers also stopped, and the water pavilion was silent. silent.
Kui Lang tactfully got up and said goodbye, "Brother Sanhuang, since there is a happy event in the mansion, I will take my leave first."
Han Lingfu didn't keep him either, and ordered Xiao Lizi to send Kui Lang off, while he hurried towards Bai Muxiao's yard.
When Han Lingfu arrived there, the yard was in a mess, and the maids and women were rushing in and out. From a distance, Bai Muxiao's painful screams could be heard coming from the house one after another. It was as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart...
"Xiao'er!" Han Lingfu eagerly wanted to enter the house, but was stopped by a nanny.
"My lord, the delivery room is an unclean place. You are an honorable person, but you must not enter it. If you are contaminated with filth and blood, the servants will not be able to afford it."
Men are not allowed to enter the delivery room. This is indeed the truth from ancient times. Han Lingfu frowned, stopped a foot outside the house, and told the nanny: "Take care of Concubine Bai side carefully, and make sure she gives birth to the baby safely!"
The imperial doctor diagnosed that Xiao'er's baby is a boy, and his eldest son is finally about to be born...
Thinking of this, Han Lingfu's eyes were filled with anticipation and worry.
Seeing that Han Lingfu listened to the persuasion, the nanny secretly heaved a sigh of relief and agreed repeatedly. She was afraid that she would not be able to stop the prince. The prince has a noble status, if he insists on entering the delivery room, the concubine will inevitably blame these slaves if she knows about it...
Mammy hurried into the house.
Next, I saw the maids and women coming in and out, and basins of clear hot water were brought into the delivery room, and instead, basins of bright red blood were brought out again...
Seeing the dazzling red in his eyes, and hearing Bai Muxiao's miserable screams in his ears, Han Lingfu was so anxious that he walked back and forth in the yard outside the house... I really wish I could suffer for Bai Muxiao!
When Cui Yanyan came, what she saw was such a scene.
Her eyes darkened, her hands clenched into fists in her sleeves, and her nails dug deeply into her palms, but on the surface she could only step forward as if nothing had happened, and gently and magnanimously persuade Han Lingfu, Bai Muxiaoji, to be himself. There are words like Tianxiang, who will definitely give birth to Lin'er for Han Lingfu...
A few hours later, the slightly surprised voice of Mrs. Wen finally came from the delivery room: "I gave birth, I gave birth..."
Immediately afterwards, the door was opened from the inside, Bihen came out of the room happily, knelt down and said to Han Ling, "My lord, you are a young master."
"My lord, that's great!" Cui Yanyan said happily.
Han Lingfu was ecstatic, and was about to say "reward", when he heard a hysterical scream from the delivery room:
"ah-"
Could it be that something happened to Xiao'er? Han Lingfu's originally let go heart suddenly lifted, and his expression changed drastically. This time, he couldn't care about anything else, and strode towards the delivery room without thinking.
"My lord!" Cui Yanyan hastily grabbed Han Lingfu's right wrist, trying to persuade him, but at this moment, Han Lingfu, who was in a turmoil, could no longer listen to the voices outside. He didn't even look at Cui Yanyan, and just pushed her away. opened, and he rushed straight into the room without even giving her a look.
Cui Yanyan let out a low cry, staggered a step in embarrassment, almost didn't fall, but the maid beside her hurriedly supported her.
"Princess Princess..." The servant girl looked at Cui Yanyan worriedly, trembling.
The gloom in Cui Yanyan's eyes flashed away, as vicious as a poisonous snake lurking in a cave ready to go. Soon, she returned to normal, and said lightly to the good doctor Li Congren who was standing by: "Doctor Li Liang, Why don't you hurry in and show Concubine Bai and Eldest Young Master!"
"Yes, princess of the county." Li Congren replied with trepidation, and quickly stepped in.
Next, there was a lot of noise in the delivery room, the salutes of the servants, the shocked questioning of Han Lingfu, and the frightened reply of the midwife...
And then, Han Lingfu strode out of the room with a face as dark as a pan, his distressed appearance almost fled, and his usual elegance was gone...
I heard that Concubine Bai's life was not good. Although Lin'er was born, the child was disabled.
I heard that the child's hands and feet were twisted, and he looked like a monster...
It is said that…
That day, these rumors had already spread to every corner of the county palace...
On the next day, the entire royal capital heard a rumor from top to bottom. It is said that the side concubine Bai of Gongjun Prince's Mansion is a demon girl who gave birth to a terrible freak. He also heard the news from the Queen's mouth after the court.
"Queen," the emperor frowned, looking at the queen and asked, "how could there be such rumors?"
Regarding the affairs of Gongjun Prince's Mansion, the queen actually didn't want to take care of them at all, but this matter was widely known in the entire capital, it really hurt the face of the royal family, and it should be dealt with as soon as possible.
The queen replied: "Your Majesty, the concubine also finds it strange. It stands to reason that if Concubine Bai gave birth yesterday, the Palace of Gongjun should come to announce the good news..." Either Bai Muxiao's birth is a rumor, or I'm afraid that the child is really a little problem.
The emperor's face sank like water, and he ordered Liu Gonggong to say: "Huairen, you go to Gongjun Wang's mansion in person, and ask Gongjun Wang about the situation of the white side concubine..."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Liu took the order and left.
The queen sighed faintly, and said, "Hey, it was supposed to be a good thing for the royal family, why did such rumors suddenly spread?"
The emperor's complexion was even uglier, showing obvious displeasure.
The queen clicked on it, and changed the subject with a wink: "Your Majesty, it's early in the morning. The cousin of the Fu family came here to greet the concubine, and told about Brother He's happy event." The cousin of the Fu family said exactly what the queen said It's Mrs. Fu.
When the emperor heard this, his attention was diverted. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother He's marriage has been settled? Which girl will you choose?"
The queen covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine only found out today that Brother He looks like a child and is so assertive. He deserves to be Aunt Yongyang's grandson. Back then, Brother He went to the South Before Xinjiang, he told Aunt Yongyang that he had to make decisions about his marriage. Now that he really met a girl he likes in Southern Xinjiang, he wrote to Aunt Yongyang. No, the cousin of the Fu family I plan to leave the capital in two days and go to southern Xinjiang to propose marriage to Brother He..."
As she said that, the queen couldn't help thinking of Mrs. Fu's tangled expression. She was happy that her son Fu Yunhe was getting married, but also felt helpless for her son's stubbornness. She could only complain that her children were debts.
Hearing this, the emperor thought it was funny, and laughed heartily, and said, "I don't know what kind of girl can catch Brother He's eyes. Although Brother He has a naughty temper, he has been clever since he was a child and has a good eye." , that girl must be a good one too."
The queen followed the emperor's words and said: "What the emperor said is true. Brother He is not young, and this marriage should not take long. Presumably the emperor and his concubines will see the bride soon."
As soon as the words fell, Xueqin walked quickly into the hall, bowed her knees and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, Empress, please see Doctor Wu."
The emperor and empress all looked solemn.
Wu Taiyi has been experimenting with Wuhe ointment for almost 20 days, so it must be the result!
