Chapter 402 Heart Disease
After Li Tong and Ao Tianchen broke off their engagement, she also begged her father to give her to Ao Tianchen as his concubine, but Yu Hanqing despised her as a concubine, and the aunt who gave birth to her was a lowly dancer. Such a status , even being a concubine for Ao Tianchen is not enough.
Later, the emperor proposed marriage and pointed out the third girl of the Yu family to the eldest prince. Just before the third girl of the Yu family entered the palace, the second girl Yu gave her medicine, which made the third girl of the Yu family fall ill. After she recovered, The health of the third girl of the Yu family has deteriorated, and she will not be able to get pregnant in her life.
The person who treated the third girl of the Yu family at that time happened to be the imperial physician of the palace. It was natural that such a big matter should be reported to the emperor.
It is a big deal for a person who marries the royal family, especially the eldest prince who is expected to aspire to the throne, not to be able to conceive. The eldest prince bears the heavy burden of spreading branches and branches of the royal family. It is not a waste of money to marry a woman who cannot have children and come back to occupy a nest. The prince’s resources?
In this way, the marriage of the third girl of the Yu family was ruined. Yu Hanqing took the initiative to admit his mistake and transferred the heroine of the marriage to the second girl of Yu.
As for Miss Yu Er, whose status was low and not qualified to marry the eldest prince, she settled for the next best thing and married Ao Tianchen as a concubine.
Because of this incident, Yu Hanqing issued a gag order and gave the imperial doctor a heavy gift. Therefore, not many people knew about it, not even Xia Zihan. They only heard that the Yu family was originally pointed out to the eldest prince. Girl, married to Ao Tianchen as a concubine.
Xia Zihan didn't know the details.
Today, after hearing what Princess Qinghui said, Xia Zihan knew and understood that no wonder the Concubine Yu she met in Baiweiju didn't look like a legitimate daughter at all, but like a skilled tradeswoman. Girl, she couldn't bear to hear that sweet, drowning voice.
Therefore, Yu Hanqing did not pay attention to a concubine, and finally chose to betray the emperor and help the Lu family. If the third girl of the Yu family married the eldest prince, maybe Yu Hanqing would not help the Lu family. , but to help the eldest prince?
After all, the benefits of his son-in-law's ascending to the throne are much higher than the second prince's ascending to the throne.
And once the eldest prince ascends to the throne, his daughter will be the concubine. If...if we think about it more deeply, if the queen dies suddenly, then maybe his daughter can be named the queen.
This is a good thing that falls in the sky, and no one will be foolish enough to sacrifice the near for the distant.
So, all of this was caused by the selfishness of the second girl of the Yu family?
It can also be said that the entire Yu family was ruined and ruined because of Miss Yu's misunderstanding.
Perhaps, this is also retribution?
Xia Zihan lowered his head and sighed.
"I heard from Brother Wang that Concubine Yu fell ill and died on the way to the place of exile, just a few days ago." Princess Qinghui said with a look on her face that she deserved her death, "Humph, she was killed. My brother Wang’s eldest son, this is also her retribution.”
"Chu Yu." After Qinghui confided most of her thoughts, she suddenly looked at her sadly, "I don't hate her. Really, I was very sad to hear that she was going to die."
This she, of course, refers to Princess Mingzhu.
Xia Zihan took her hand, patted it, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, with my master here, maybe there will be a turn for the better."
"Really?" Qinghui looked at her hopefully, "Actually, I know that my brother Wang doesn't like her. He only respects her, but she is very good to me and gave me many gifts. , she always pleases me. Even if I occasionally have a bad temper, she will laugh it off and coax me. I...Actually, I am touched in my heart. After her miscarriage this time, I plan to accept it from the bottom of my heart. She will be my sister-in-law.”
As he spoke, his eyes turned red again.
"I don't know why her illness became serious. I visited her every day. She said she was fine every time, but I saw her getting thinner day by day. I thought that as long as she recovered from her illness, , and after replenishing it, the meat will still come back. Although I am worried, I don’t feel too reassured.”
"These days, the mother-in-law has to go to the palace every day to accompany the Queen Mother, for fear that the Queen Mother will have random thoughts."
After thinking about this, Princess Qinghui sighed, "The Queen Mother...well, she is also a pitiful and good person. She was almost framed by Concubine Lu and killed the late uncle. If the late uncle hadn't trusted her, she would have been replaced." Alone, she might have died long ago."
Then, without waiting for Xia Zihan to ask, Princess Qinghui told her everything.
"You don't know yet, but the late Emperor's uncle will be poisoned this time because Concubine Lu bribed a little palace maid next to the Queen Mother."
"The Queen Mother likes to make some porridge with her own hands, and the late Emperor's uncle also likes to eat it. Growing up, the late Emperor's uncle was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. He doesn't like to eat meat, so he especially likes to eat the porridge and side dishes cooked by the Queen Mother, especially the ones she pickles herself. All kinds of pickles. Eat some pickles when you drink porridge. The taste is better than being an emperor. These are the original words of the late emperor, he told me. "
The late emperor often went to the Queen Mother's backyard to eat rice. Even when he was most doting on Concubine Lu, he would go to the Queen Mother's room from time to time to eat porridge. ”
"The little palace maid, she was just a dishwasher, but the dishes and chopsticks used by the late emperor were always tested by the young father-in-law to see if they were poisonous. But... even with such caution, the late emperor was still poisoned. The first day at the Queen Mother's place After eating a bowl of porridge, something happened the next day
At that time, the palace was in chaos. Concubine Lu, mother and son, took the opportunity to stir up trouble and add insult to injury. First, they threatened to imprison the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital. Seeing that the empress dowager spoke for the imperial doctor, Concubine Lu unjustly accused the empress dowager of poisoning the emperor. Emperor.
For a time, the chaos in the palace was comparable to that of a vegetable market.
Fortunately, the eldest prince was protecting the queen mother, and the second prince and his loyal ministers were there, so Concubine Lu's conspiracy did not succeed.
After Doctor Bai revived the late emperor, the late emperor proved his innocence for the queen mother.
Concubine Lu was unwilling to give in. This was her plan to kill two birds with one stone. As a result, both the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were fine, but she was covered in fish and aroused the suspicion of the Late Emperor. She hated the Queen Mother and hated the First Emperor even more, so she became cruel. Get rid of the first emperor and help the second prince ascend to the throne.
Speaking of Concubine Lu's idea, it took more than a day or two. Concubine Lu and Duke Lu had already prepared for some things, and they only needed the east wind. No, when she saw that the late Emperor had woken up and cleared the Queen Mother of her crimes, she became jealous of the Queen Mother and became so angry that she killed the Emperor while the Queen Mother was not around.
"Chu Yu, do you think that power is that good? Better than his biological father?" Princess Qinghui asked her with anger on her face.
"That second prince is simply a scumbag... Fortunately he is dead, otherwise, I would have wanted to whip him."
Since everyone is dead, you still talk about it so much?
It seems that Princess Qinghui is not having a good time these days. Is it because she is too depressed that she can't help nagging her so much?
"The Lu family are all dead, even the second and third princes are dead. Who is right and wrong is all over. Don't think too much about it." To avoid increasing the psychological burden.
"But the late Emperor's uncle is dead. He was very kind to me and loved me very much. I don't want to let him die." Princess Qinghui burst into tears, feeling very sad and said, "I don't dare to mention it at home. The late emperor was afraid that his father would be uncomfortable.”
There is no one around her who can let her talk, only Chu Yu. With Chu Yu, she can talk freely and unscrupulously.
Xia Zihan sighed, poured her a cup of tea, and handed it to her hand, "This is the green tea sent by Nuanxiang from the trustee in Jiangnan. It can relieve the fire and calm the mind. Drink more."
He also advised, "The deceased is gone, please be more open-minded."
"Well, after vomiting so much bitter water, I feel much better." Princess Qinghui put down the empty cup of tea, "Now I am just worried about my sister-in-law. I hope Doctor Bai can save her life."
A maid came to report that the Second Princess and Princess Xin were going back and asked Princess Qinghui to pass.
Doctor Bai carried the medicine box on his back and went to the Second Prince's Mansion with them. In the afternoon, Doctor Bai came back and told Xia Zihan, "She is too worried and uneasy. She has a heart disease."
Heart ailments require heart medicine, but without the heart medicine, Princess Mingzhu may not live long, and will eventually force herself to a dead end.
"Master, is the heart disease hopeless?" Xia Zihan asked worriedly.
Doctor Bai frowned and said, "Yes, there is, but... the prescription is hard to come by, and it depends on her willingness."
"Having a chance is better than having no chance." Xia Zihan's eyes sparkled, "Master, what is the prescription? Write it to me and I will send someone to find it."
"On Mount Emei, there is a kind of Lost Fruit. After taking it, it can make people forget all their memories. There is also Love-forgetting Water, which can also make people forget their feelings. But... Princess Mingzhu doesn't seem to be trapped by love, but is afraid of something?"< br>
"Afraid?" Xia Zihan exclaimed, "Is it the sequelae of the last assassination?"
"Only she knows this." Doctor Bai stroked his beard, not caring at all whether Princess Mingzhu had any sequelae.
He made a decision, "Let your senior brother go to Mount Emei. It just so happens that there are a lot of good things in Mount Emei. Let him get more and come back."
If you go to snatch things from those old nuns, isn't that putting your senior brother in a position of being like a sheep in a tiger's mouth?
Xia Zihan looked at the evil old man, the corner of his mouth twitched, but his eyes lowered silently.
If someone goes for her, she would be stupid to refuse.
The next day, Xia Zihan took a few boxes of fresh fruits from Zhuangzi and went to the Second Prince's Mansion to visit Princess Mingzhu.
When he saw the skinny Princess Mingzhu, Xia Zihan almost couldn't recognize her. The beautiful face she used to have was now so thin that only a layer of skin was left covering her face. Her eyes were deeply sunken, and the circles around her eyes were There is a raised ring of bones, which is very eye-catching.
Xia Zihan thought, if you touch it, you will definitely shake your hands.
When Princess Mingzhu saw Xia Zihan, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and her face was calm, "Chu Yu, you are here."
The sound was weak, as if he hadn't eaten in three hundred years.
The maid hurriedly walked over, helped her sit up, and put a large pillow on her back so that she could lean on it comfortably, but her face didn't feel comfortable at all, and her brows were wrinkled.
"Bring a chair to the county master." She ordered the maid in a voice as loud as a mosquito.
