The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(110)
Fucheng frowned, "We don't know what's going on. The medicine has been tried and there's no problem, but..." He paused for a moment: "Mrs. Su, you'd better not go in. His Highness has refused to tell you, so I'm not allowed to tell you." I don’t know which little talkative brat let it slip.”
Naturally, this little brat is hiding from others.
"Then how is His Highness doing now?"
"this……"
"I'd better take a look."
Yao Niang insisted on breaking in, but Fucheng didn't dare to stop her. Besides, he also has selfish motives. Although His Highness won't let him go, if Madam insists, he can always get some relief and avoid His Highness suffering such hardships.
Entering the bedroom and passing through a screen, Yao Niang saw King Jin lying on the couch. He seemed to be asleep, but his hands and feet were tied to the bed pillar.
This is not the first time Yao Niang has seen King Jin in such a helpless state, but it is the first time she feels so distressed. Probably because I didn't dare to think too much about it before, but now that I have two children in my belly, I feel a sense of intimacy that is completely different from before.
"How long has your Highness been like this? Has Dr. Liu Liang found a solution?"
Seeing that Fucheng remained silent, Yao Niang sighed and said, "You all should go out first."
When he heard this, he wanted to use his own methods. Fucheng hesitated and said: "Madam, your body..."
"It's okay, it won't hurt."
As for why it wasn't hurt, I can't explain it to outsiders.
Fucheng wanted to say something else, but was pulled by Yuchan, and the two of them went out.
Yao Niang stayed inside for nearly two hours before coming out. She looked exhausted and returned to Rongxi Courtyard without staying any longer.
After returning, Yuchan saw her looking worried, so he thought she was worried about Prince Jin and even gave her some advice. Little did they know that Yao Niang was really worried about King Jin, but there was another thing weighing heavily on her heart.
She knew the man with the scar on his face.
Because the location of the scar was so special, and because that day was the biggest turning point in her life, Yao Niang remembered it very clearly.
That day when Yao Niang woke up from her coma, it was already the beginning of the lanterns.
In the silent alleyway, the disk-like bright moon and the lanterns emitting hazy yellow light only illuminated a corner. There was the faint sound of silk and bamboo in the distance, the laughter of men and women, and the shouts of people coming and going, which made her suddenly think that she was dreaming.
It took a while to wake up, and I saw myself in messy clothes, especially the pain all over my body, as if it had been run over by a car, and the strangeness there. What else don’t you understand? As if Yao Niang was struck by lightning, she wished she could die on the spot.
But she couldn't bear to die, and she was also unwilling in her heart. She was harmed, but she died in a corner where no one was around, letting the person who harmed her continue to live in the world, cheating, and her relatives were in pain. Yao Niang held on to the reluctance in her heart, hurriedly cleaned herself up, and stumbled back. But when he was leaving the alley, he met two beggars.
In fact, the impact of this incident on Yaoniang was more serious than the previous incident. After all, she was in a coma and did not know the whole process before. But the fear brought to her by the dirty faces and ferocious smiles of these two beggars was something she couldn't get rid of every time she went back to her dreams.
Fortunately, someone passed by and scared away the two beggars, saving her from being raped.
The man was dressed in black and had a scar on his face.
Seriously speaking, this man is her benefactor. But when they saw each other again, Yao Niang didn't want to say thank you at all. Instead, she felt like she just wanted to hide away, far away.
That is the shadow that she will never get rid of, the past that she does not want to face.
She even thought that the person who came and went freely in Chaohui Hall must be one of King Jin's confidants. If that person recognized her, would he tell King Jin?
Dr. Liu Liang didn't even return to the Liang Medical Clinic for the past two days. He stayed in Chaohui Hall.
He had completely transformed into a crazy state at this moment, his hair was a mess and his eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes. She was chattering away, mumbling words non-stop.
He had read the prescription countless times and was sure that there was nothing wrong with the medicinal materials used, but why didn't it work?
An Yi brought the prescription back and asked An Yi about it.
There is no way this prescription could go wrong, because the reason why they were able to obtain this prescription was because the Jin Wang family had a big handle on the other party. The other party would never risk heavy losses to keep a prescription, even if they knew that the prescription could save King Jin's life.
It was an exchange of equal value, and An Yi also listened to King Jin's order and did not hand over the handle to the other party. Instead, he handed over the antidote only if it was useful.
The other party also agreed.
So it is impossible to go wrong with this prescription.
The prescription was right, the medicine was right, what went wrong?
"You'd better take a break. You're too old to do this. Madam Su has already provided relief for His Highness, so you can still survive for a while." Fucheng advised from the side.
But Dr. Liu Liang refused to listen, and still held the prescription and looked at it as if he was possessed.
Xiao Shunzi announced that Aunt Mu was here. As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Mu walked in with a hurried expression: "What's wrong with Your Highness? Why did I hear that it's not good?"
Aunt Mu lived in a corner and didn't know a lot of information in time. It was also the Chaohui Hall who didn't want her to know. And the reason why she knew it was because Yao Niang went out on a snowy day and she received a message and asked someone to inquire about it.
Liu Liangyi explained the general situation with a cryptic look on his face. During this period, Fucheng added a few words to let Aunt Mu understand the ins and outs of the whole matter.
After listening, she fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he said: "Is it possible that there is something wrong with the blood?"
Hearing this, Fucheng and Dr. Liu Liang first looked at each other, and then looked at her.
With Yu Yan's support, Mother Mu came to sit on an armchair nearby. Someone offered her tea. Yu Yan took it and wanted her to take a few sips to warm her body, but she waved it away.
"I trust Dr. Liu's medical skills. Since the prescription is correct and the medicine is correct, could it be that the main medicine is wrong?" After a pause, Aunt Mu continued: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. The old woman is very fond of Hu. I have always looked down upon that woman. How many women from that kind of place are clean? "
Fucheng has the right to express this matter. After all, he has been serving King Jin personally.
"This matter was handled secretly at the beginning. According to him, Concubine Hu was a poor servant and followed His Highness."
Aunt Mu sneered: "She said she was a Qing Guo'er or a Qing Guo'er? If the old woman heard it right before, His Highness's condition was not good at that time. It is still unknown whether it was possible to tell clearly at that time. There have always been many people in the palace who were sick early. It’s just a case of a woman trying to trick her into entering the palace. There are also cases where the daughter of a wealthy family has misbehaved with others and resorted to tricks on their wedding night.”
If it is true as Grandma Mu said, then this matter will be difficult to talk about.
Fucheng's face was full of surprise and uncertainty, and even Dr. Liu Liang's expression was serious. Since I can't tell the reason, I might as well call An Yi over and ask what's going on.
Soon Anichi was invited.
Fucheng recounted what Aunt Mu had said, and said solemnly: "I took His Highness away in a hurry that day. Your Highness was in critical condition, and the people who were chasing him were like ants attached to their bones. I simply took His Highness into the city. At that time, he found a building called Yihongyuan, where he settled His Highness, asked the madam to send a clean woman to the room, and then hurriedly left, waiting to lure away the pursuers, and then return. There, His Highness is safe and well, and there is a woman on the bed who is Concubine Hu, and there are indeed traces of love on the bed, and there is red."
After hearing this, Aunt Mu and the three of them fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, he added: "But afterwards I went to ask the old bustard to temporarily accommodate Concubine Hu and not let her receive any more guests. The old bustard seemed to be furious, as if he had mistaken the wrong person. It was difficult. She had a bad relationship with others, but because I gave her a lot of money, she didn’t say anything.”
"Could it be that it's not Concubine Hu who is with His Highness, but something went wrong, and she pretended to be her?" It seems that once the seeds of suspicion are planted, some people will inevitably think too much.
Fucheng said: "That's when Concubine Hu became pregnant with the little princess. Back then, our family asked Old Man Liu to make ends meet so that the time would be right."
"this……"
Several people looked at each other in confusion. After all, this matter was not something that could be questioned casually. Because once you question it, you are questioning the bloodline of the little princess.
The room fell into silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
Suddenly, Nanny Mu spoke up and said: "Xiao Fuzi, Nanny heard something a while ago, saying that Mrs. Su had never been married and was raped by others, so she gave birth to a child. Later, in order to maintain the family income, she gave birth to a child. That’s why he lied about the man’s death and came to the palace as an errand.”
Fucheng was stunned for a moment, unable to react. He also thought that Aunt Mu was disgusted with Concubine Hu, and that Mrs. Su was also disgusted with her. Or maybe it was because they were disgusted with Mrs. Su, which led to the mother-in-law's discord with Concubine Hu.
Anyway, his mind was in chaos at the moment, but he still defended it subconsciously: "Mommy, you said that Xiao Fuzi doesn't know how to respond to this matter. His Highness also knows about this matter. He issued the hush-hush order in the first place. Who will follow?" Of course..." He chuckled twice, "This will definitely not apply to you, but you also know that His Highness's character is more serious than anyone else, because this matter was originally discussed with Su. The madam was in trouble for a while, and the two of them couldn't bear it... You see, now she even has a mistress..."
The meaning is to tell Aunt Mu not to pursue the case. She already has a mistress. How can she throw away the mistress because of whether the other party is clean or unclean?
Aunt Mu laughed and spat: "Where are you thinking? I just heard from people below that Mrs. Su seems to be a local of Linyun County, and Concubine Hu is also from Linyun County, so I can't help but make more guesses. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I have seen the child in front of Mrs. Su twice, and I always feel that he is very similar to His Highness when he was a child..."
