The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(84)
Obviously, the princess was a little self-centered.
But Yao Niang didn't want to tell her that. The princess was the princess after all. Even if someone forced benefits on her, she could do nothing but pretend to be stupid.
After Yao Niang left, Mother Zhou said, "Look, this little witch seems to only want to receive benefits, but not to help with things. Why should you be so kind to her, Princess?"
The nurse has never been smart, and Princess Jin knew it when she was very young. But this is exactly why she chose Mother Zhou. The servant is not afraid of being stupid, but afraid of being unfaithful.
The servants are smart, so what can the master do.
But it is obvious that Mother Zhou is getting older and more confused. Princess Jin has heard her call Yao Niang a little witch more than once. It's okay to call her in front of her, but if she lets it slip one day, it will make her lose all her previous efforts.
She rarely got up the energy to explain to her: "Just based on the frequency of the prince going to her, she might get pregnant at any time. Didn't the wet nurse always want me to have a child? If she can really give birth to a son, I will take the child to raise."
"Is this possible? I'm afraid she won't agree."
The princess just smiled and didn't explain.
Mother Zhou continued to nag: "I still think that the princess should give birth to a child herself. It's always inappropriate to point fingers at others."
Zi Yan looked helpless and winked at Zi Meng, who nodded and went out. Not long after, a little girl came in and said that there was something that needed Mother Zhou to see.
After Mother Zhou went out, Zi Meng said to the princess: "My queen, we don't need to go to Rongxiyuan-"
"She may have been hanging out with the prince many times, but it's too late to act now. She is not staying in the brothel, so there is no need to be cautious. She is just a concubine. If she really has a child, she can't keep it."
Zi Meng stopped talking.
The princess naturally understood the meaning behind her hesitation and smiled, "Now she is pretending to be stupid in front of me, but she is just dreaming that His Highness can stay with her for a long time. Little do they know that men are the most fickle. Look at Liuchun Hall, it was once glorious, but now it is still slapped in the face by a little concubine. When those two can't sit still and start fighting, she will understand how important it is for me to look at her differently."
"Now we just have to wait and see the show."
Seeing the princess say this, Zi Meng suddenly had an epiphany in her heart. The princess looked at Madam Su differently. In addition to wanting her to rely on her, she was doing it for someone to see.
When she couldn't sit still, she would always jump out automatically.
"Princess, you are wise."
Hearing this, the princess curled her lips.
What is she wise about? It's just a trick that all the women in the harem know. It's too boring. But the sad thing is that even if she understands all this, she has to do it.
Yao Niang always felt that something was strange about the King of Jin, but she couldn't tell what was strange.
She observed for a long time before she found out that it was his eyes.
His eyes were red, as if he didn't sleep well last night, but Yao Niang remembered that he seemed to be like this the day before yesterday, and he had been at her place for the past two nights, and he didn't sleep well.
"Your Highness, are you hurt by your eyes?"
This saying of hurting your eyes is a local colloquialism, which generally refers to the eyes turning red for no reason and showing symptoms. There is also a saying that it means seeing something that shouldn't be seen, which is a kind of vulgar language in the market.
Yao Niang said, and moved closer to look.
The closer she looked, the redder it was. She couldn't help but touch his eyes and wanted to open them for a closer look.
The King of Jin glared at her and felt that she was getting more and more daring. He wanted to reach out and pull her down, but her serious look made him feel a little reluctant.
So he let her look.
Yao Niang made a judgment after seeing it: "Your Highness, you must have hurt your eyes. Do you want to see a doctor?"
Prince Jin's face was stiff: "I've seen a doctor, nothing's wrong."
Yao Niang said "oh" and nodded.
In the corner, Fucheng watched his own prince coaxing people with his eyes and nose.
Are all men like this? They look majestic at ordinary times, but they become soft and gentle when they meet women. At this time, Fucheng felt very aggrieved and didn't want to watch it anymore, so he took a few steps forward and bent over to say to Prince Jin: "Your Highness, I'll go to the good doctor to see..."
Prince Jin nodded, and Fucheng withdrew.
After Fucheng left, there were only Yao Niang and Prince Jin in the east room.
Prince Jin half leaned on the Luohan bed, flipping through a file in his hand.
Yao Niang sat aside, looking at the rabbit eyes of King Jin, and couldn't sit still: "No, you must have been a little irritated recently. I'll ask them to make some soup to clear the heat and relieve fever for you." After saying that, she hurried out and told the maid outside to do it.
Since Rongxiyuan had a small kitchen, it was much more convenient to cook anything. The cooks hired by the Internal Affairs Office were particularly skilled. Yao Niang felt that she had become greedy again recently. I wanted to reduce my food intake appropriately to lose weight, but unfortunately I couldn't do it.
In the east room, King Jin on the Luohan bed closed his eyes and stroked his forehead.
This poison was more difficult to deal with than he thought. The familiar restlessness became more and more uncontrollable, and with it came a bloodthirsty impulse that he only had when he was bloodthirsty on the battlefield.
In fact, he knew what Fucheng was thinking, but he subconsciously didn't want to do it.
If he had to go against his own wishes and have sex with a woman he hated, he would rather not be a king. How can one face himself in this world, or even seek the supreme position in the future?
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt someone approaching him.
There was a familiar faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, and Prince Jin knew who it was without opening his eyes.
Some slightly cool but soft fingers were placed on his temples, pressing gently once and for all. Inexplicably, the commotion calmed down a lot, and the nerves that had been tense also relaxed.
King Jin's breathing gradually became calmer, and it wasn't until he fell into a deep sleep that Yao Niang withdrew her hand and covered him with a mattress.
Good Doctor’s Clinic, Liu Liang’s exclusive prescription
"Tell me the truth. If His Highness is lucky, then Concubine Hu will be able to delay the time longer?"
Dr. Liu Liang was also annoyed by being surrounded by Fucheng, and waved his hand to chase him away impatiently: "Come on, I'm dispensing medicine, are you bothered or not? If you have the ability to let Your Highness go, then go ahead and leave the trouble here." What am I doing?”
These words made Fu choke for a while, and then he said again: "If you don't give me accurate words, how can I do things easily?"
These words made Dr. Liu Liang interested, "Then what are you going to do?"
He didn't get to know Fucheng in the same day. To be honest, the relationship between the two of them was long gone. We also need to go back to the time when Fucheng was just a young eunuch and he was still working as an imperial physician in the palace.
As for the King of Jin, Dr. Liu Liang had served him for more than ten years and knew his master's temper very well.
To be honest, no one can shake whatever decision is made.
It is obvious to the naked eye that Fucheng does not have this ability.
"You don't care what I do, just give me the right words."
Seeing such a scumbag like Fucheng, Dr. Liu Liang was very annoyed and said: "Do you think I am a god? With gold and iron teeth, it can end life and death? I have never encountered this poison before, and some of the things I got were all from ancient books. It's true. Don't blame me for telling you, and don't waste your time, lest you suffer disaster!"
With that said, he changed his voice: "You can ask Mrs. Nasu to try to persuade His Highness to find Concubine Hu. Maybe words will be more effective than yours."
Dr. Liu Liang was originally teasing Fucheng, but he actually took it seriously, "Go, go, don't give me any bad ideas. If my front legs are so strong, Your Highness can tear me alive with his back legs. Didn't you see that?" …”
He smacked his mouth several times, but still didn't continue.
But he didn't need to say it, Liu Liangyi also understood the meaning. Who in this house didn't know that Mrs. Su was in the prime of life, otherwise he wouldn't tease Fucheng so much.
Seeing that the only hope didn't seem so reliable, and considering that there had been no news from An Yi, Fucheng sat there with a gloomy face and sighed: "Old Liu, I'm telling you, you'd better think about it quickly. Here's a way, His Highness's temper has been getting weirder and weirder lately. People are getting slapped in the Chaohui Hall every day. If we had stopped him, I don't know how many people would have died right now."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Liu Liang also had a sour look on his face. This is the first time he has seen such a troublesome poison. In the later stages, poisonous attacks will become more and more frequent, and the poisoned person will gradually lose their mind and become crazy.
He thought for a while, "I've been trying a medicine these past two days, maybe it can alleviate this situation. It's just an introduction to the medicine..."
Fucheng suddenly jumped up: "You can mention it in heaven or on earth, as long as it's not something you haven't heard of before."
"It's not a rare thing, it's just a bit difficult to handle..."
"This is the first time I've seen you speak like this! Hurry up, hurry up, I don't know when the antidote will be available in the capital. If something happens to Your Highness, the sky in Jinzhou will collapse."
Of course Dr. Liu Liang understood the seriousness of this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know if this medicine can work yet, but no one knows if it will work until you try it. This medicine requires human blood connected by blood as a primer. It doesn’t need too much, just a little is enough, just..."
"Is there anything special about being connected by blood?" Fucheng, as expected of Fucheng, captured Dr. Liu's hesitation in his words.
Now that the words have been spoken, Liu Liangyi no longer has anything to say, "You also know how the little princess came to be. His Highness was poisoned at the beginning, and the concubine Hu only had a little princess once. In other words, the little princess was born There may be something in the Lord’s blood…”
Dr. Liu Liang explained the pharmacology to Fucheng at length, which made him feel dizzy.
