Chapter 378 Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir
I don't know how long it took, but Lin Zhifang woke up and felt that someone was holding her.
"Beauty...are you impatient to wait for me?" a strange man's voice said.
"Ah?!" She was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, and her mind quickly recalled, what happened? What happened?
The man gently held her waist with one hand, put his arm around her shoulders with the other, and brought her into his arms, "Look at her beauty under the moon, she is really..."
"Let me go!" Lin Zhifang became anxious, pushed him hard, and stood up.
But the man refused and said, "Don't go!" He grabbed her collar and almost pulled her down.
No matter how calm Lin Zhifang was, she had never experienced such a scene. She was so anxious that she couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard she tried.
In a hurry, I took a look and saw that the place was completely dark. I turned around and saw that the high platform in front of me, where I had just been drinking, was now empty.
And where she was, the terrain was high, but pitch black.
Although she didn't understand the reason, she had to get out of this dangerous situation as soon as possible. If she was discovered... she felt a burst of despair in her heart.
She made a prompt decision, took out her hairpin, and stabbed it at the man without thinking.
The man ouched, and she got rid of him, turned around, and stumbled forward.
Hearing the voice behind her, the man cursed, got up and started chasing her.
She ran quickly and lost one of her shoes. There was a step in front of her. When she got off the step, something pricked her foot. She lost her strength and fell forward.
She tried not to scream, but there was no way to slow down her fall. She rolled down the more than twenty steps in one breath.
Then, he just lay there, unable to move.
Then, I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and someone walked over in a hurry.
"Oh my God? Who is this?"
The two palace maids stepped forward to help her up, and the palace lanterns held by a group of palace maids illuminated her face.
She reluctantly raised her head and vaguely saw what seemed to be Empress Dowager Yan walking over there, and beside her stood Lin Zhixiu.
Two steps back is her mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen saw her face clearly, "Zhifang?" She quickly stepped forward to support her. "Did it break anywhere?"
Lin Zhifang raised her head and glanced at the high platform. A dark shadow peeked out from above, then shrank back.
Queen Mother Yan ordered, "Go and arrest that man and lock him up. Don't make any big noise."
Lin Zhifang's whole body ached, her face turned pale, and she didn't know what to do.
She is finished!
Turning around to look at Lin Zhixiu, it was her?! She was the one who harmed me!
Lin Zhixiu stood quietly beside Queen Mother Yan, with no expression on her face, looking at Lin Zhifang silently. After two lives, she finally cut off your clutches.
I hope what you get today is something you can afford.
Lin Zhirong came back at some point. When she ran over to deliver the letter, the man in red had disappeared. She waited and waited there unwillingly, but never saw him again.
I just came back dejected and discovered this scene unexpectedly.
She is very smart: something is wrong today. At this moment, she saw the way Lin Zhifang looked at Lin Zhixiu...
Lin Zhifang withdrew her eyes, what's the use of looking at her? I regret it...
"Who is there?"
Everyone turned around and saw that the queen had actually arrived with someone.
As soon as Yan Yun raised her chin, the maid next to her greeted her, "Empress, the Queen Mother is here."
The Queen was surprised, but she was thinking about that incident, so she said, "Is the Queen Mother here to admire the moon?" After that, she hurriedly took a few steps forward.
Sure enough, she saw Queen Mother Yan standing there, but standing next to her... was Lin Zhixiu?!
"How did you..." the queen couldn't help blurting out.
Lin Zhixiu: "?" She looked down at herself and touched her face again, "What's wrong? My second sister-in-law looked strange when she saw me?"
Empress Zhang immediately understood that things had not worked out, so she said coldly: "I didn't expect Princess Cheng to come here."
"The Queen doesn't sit in the palace, but comes here...that's really unexpected!" Lin Zhixiu said lightly.
Empress Zhang smiled with full force, "This is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet organized by me. How can I leave anyone to guess where I am going?"
Queen Mother Yan said, "Queen, Mrs. Shen fell down here. Please make arrangements quickly!"
When the queen heard this, she panicked. It didn't work out, but Lin Zhifang fell and was injured? "Is it serious?"
Mrs. Shen had already seen Lin Zhifang. At this moment, she came over to salute, "The Queen, my concubine's daughter-in-law, was on the stage to admire the moon. She stepped on the air and fell! Please call the imperial doctor to take a look and don't break anything."
The queen looked at Lin Zhifang, who was lying darkly on the ground. Where was that person? Her mind was wandering and she couldn't answer the question for a moment.
Seeing that the queen didn't respond, Queen Mother Yan directly ordered: "Du Juan, pass on the Ai family's oral instructions and tell the imperial doctor and doctor Wu Fang to come over. Then bring a board. I don't know if Zhifang has broken bones. Don't touch her easily."
When the Queen heard this, she regretted that she had not followed up and let the Queen Mother steal her words!
She is also considered a person, and she is not afraid before things are done. "Isn't Mrs. Shen and Princess Cheng together?"
Lin Zhixiu smiled and said: "My dearest lady, who did you hear that we were together!?"
The queen's face darkened, "I am talking to Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Wang, oh, is your second cousin. She said that you and Mrs. Shen are together."
"Oh... what a coincidence. We were together at first. Later, the Queen Mother sent someone to find me, and I left!"
"Oh? What a coincidence. You happened to be away and she fell."
"It's a coincidence, but... Queen Mother, I think the light here is too dark. If you don't want people to go this way, just mark it here or ask Gong'e to guard it."
Are you blaming me for improper arrangements? The queen looked at Lin Zhixiu coldly.
Lin Zhixiu was not afraid at all and looked back at the Queen expressionlessly.
The queen's anger has reached her head. Now, am I still angry with you? I just want to let my temper get out.
Lin Zhifang over there, the pain all over her body subsided slightly. She felt cold all over, and wanted to stand up, but there was a huge pain in her abdomen, and she had no strength at all. She collapsed to the ground, covering her stomach with her hands, unable to help it. Hummed out.
When the palace maid saw her, she asked in a low voice, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"pain……"
The palace maid is by Yan Yun's side. She fell down the steps last time and felt bad for a moment. "Madam, you are not pregnant, are you?"
When Lin Zhifang heard this, she was dumbfounded, right? No way!
No!
She screamed in her heart.
But she felt her body heat up, and a stream of heat flowed out of her body. She was so frightened that she did not dare to move. She gritted her teeth and tried to relax her breathing.
There was an important event today, and the imperial doctor must be on duty, so he arrived very quickly. Two doctors, a man and a woman, just stepped forward to ask.
Lin Zhifang held the female doctor's hand and whispered, "I have a stomachache. It hurts terribly. It seems like bleeding."
The female doctor was relatively calm, "Relax, I'll take a look."
She took her pulse and was a little surprised. "Mr. Jiang, come and take a look."
Lin Zhifang was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
The doctor took his pulse and frowned.
Mrs. Shen was holding the handkerchief tightly with both hands nervously, and she heard the doctor whisper: "This lady must be pregnant!"
Mrs. Shen was shocked. Lin Zhifang was even more shocked, and the world turned upside down.
"But..." Doctor Jiang continued to say, "It's a pity that we can't save it. We need to take medicine and acupuncture as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid this lady will be in trouble later."
Lin Zhifang immediately held the female doctor's hand tightly, "No, it won't happen. Doctor, please think of a way to help me keep it. I can take any medicine!"
The female doctor looked at her sympathetically and said, "Madam, don't get excited. I also saw that the situation was not good, so I asked the doctor to see it. Therefore, it probably won't work. You have to take care of yourself."
"No...empress, empress!"
The queen was over there and vaguely heard it, and she was also shocked. There were too many surprises today. This matter... She looked at Mrs. Shen, whose face was ashen.
Just at this time, someone came over carrying a wooden board, and the queen quickly spoke, "Hurry up and carry Mrs. Shen home. Doctor, you two will follow Mrs. Shen back home for treatment. Later, I will ask Zhang Yuanzheng Let’s go to Shen’s house too.”
Such a matter must not be left in the palace for treatment.
She then said to Lin Zhifang: "Don't worry, Mrs. Shen, the Ai family will ask the Imperial Hospital to give you the best medicine."
Lin Zhifang didn't respond. She just held her belly blankly and was lifted onto the board.
Mrs. Shen's legs were weak. She walked to the Queen Mother and looked at Lin Zhixiu, "Thank you, Queen Mother and Princess. I will take her back to the house first."
Queen Mother Yan nodded, "If you need anything, just let me know."
Lin Zhixiu said nothing.
Mrs. Shen saluted the Queen again: "Thank you, Queen."
"This is my business! If something happens to her..." She raised her chin and looked at Lin Zhixiu, "I will make the decision with her!"
Mrs. Shen replied: "Yes." She turned and walked away.
Queen Mother Yan said to Lin Zhixiu, "Let's go!"
Lin Zhirong came to Lin Zhixiu's side and asked, "What's wrong, big sister?"
Lin Zhixiu leaned into her ear and said: "Lin Zhirong, I know that you always feel that you have not been able to marry the right man, but have you ever thought about it, that you are only worthy of marrying such a person?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Zhirong's face sank.
"What I mean is that your current life is the best life you can get. If you are still thinking about someone in your heart, please leave He and go home first, and then pursue the person you love. If you are still thinking about someone, If you hook up with three people now, you will end up in a pig cage."
"You..." Lin Zhirong was anxious and scared, and his face turned pale.
Lin Zhixiu grabbed her and said, "Although my words don't sound good, they are really for your own good. Big sister is finished, you know? The humble, gentle and decent eldest daughter of the Lin family, the young lady of the Shen family, finished speaking, That's it. I don't want anything to happen to you again. Otherwise, how bad will the reputation of the Lin family girls be if you say it?!"
Then Lin Zhixiu pushed Lin Zhirong gently and walked away quickly.
————
Lin Zhifang's child was not saved.
The long-awaited child just left without even a sound.
Her mind was a little unclear, and she just felt that she might as well die like this. Then she fell into a coma.
Mrs. Shen stood on her bed and looked at it for a while, then turned around and came out.
Shen Jing stood in the yard with a serious look on his face.
Mrs. Shen didn't say anything and went back to her room directly, with Shen Jing following behind.
Neither of them spoke, and were stunned for a while.
Mrs. Shen sighed: "This is not right today!"
————
After the ceremony, Queen Mother Yan sat there with an ugly face.
She never imagined that Lin Zhifang could be so stupid and vicious.
The queen is so stupid and bold.
She looked at Li Xu's expressionless face and couldn't figure out what this person was thinking, so she said nothing.
Li Xu lifted his robe and knelt down.
The queen was standing next to him with a very unhappy face. When she saw the emperor kneeling down, she reluctantly knelt down too.
The emperor directly requested: "Mother, after all, the queen is young and has never taken care of such important things. Among them, such a big mistake happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It seems that the queen still lacks experience. Please ask the queen to manage the harem herself!"
Queen Zhang knelt aside and couldn't believe it when she heard him say this, "Your Majesty! What did you say? This..."
The emperor ignored her and told the queen, "Mother, I have also thought deeply about it. I have no talent as my father. Since I succeeded to the throne, I have worked hard day and night, and I can barely keep up with the government. If I distract myself from the harem again, then It’s really beyond my capabilities! Therefore, I ask my mother to take over the affairs of the harem.”
Empress Zhang recalled all the previous events at lightning speed, stood up suddenly, pointed at Li Xu's head and said, "Okay! What I said... Daqing is waiting for me at your place! Is it me..."
Queen Mother Yan took a look and wondered if this woman was crazy. She quickly ordered people: "The Queen is confused, take her down quickly!"
Several palace maids came up immediately, hugged the queen and walked out.
The female officials and maids around the queen were frightened and did not dare to stop her.
The queen shouted as she walked: "Li Xu! I asked you why you didn't do anything. You are just waiting for such an opportunity! Li Xu, where is your conscience?! Who is eating chaffy vegetables with you, so scared!" ?You ungrateful..." A palace maid next to her unceremoniously stuffed a ball of cloth into her mouth and dragged her away.
Empress Yan smiled and said, "The empress is young after all. There is something wrong with it. Just learn it slowly. However, you are right. After all, when you just took over the throne, many things are very difficult. Although the Ai family can do something limited, but Sharing the emperor's worries is also the duty of mourning the family."
The emperor bowed and stood up with a smile on his face, "I will have to work hard from now on, mother!"
"It's not hard work. There is one more thing. In the emperor's harem, many positions are still vacant. I also heard many courtiers discussing this matter. But the Ai family does not want to embarrass the emperor in this matter. What do you have? If you have any ideas, please tell Aijia."
The emperor said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your consideration. I have some ideas about this matter, but I am not mature yet... I will talk to Queen Mother after I have thought about it better!"
————
Lin Zhifang didn't know how long she had been in a coma. That day, she woke up in a daze, and the room was quiet.
"Hmm..." She hummed softly, but was ignored.
I opened my eyes and looked inside the room. I saw a man sitting on a stool next to the bed. He looked out the window. Looking at his figure, he saw that it was his husband.
"Husband, I..."
Shen Jing turned to look at her.
Lin Zhifang was shocked. Her husband had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and one of his eyes became a slit...
"Ah?! What's wrong with you?"
Shen Jing said calmly, "I was beaten by His Highness King Cheng. Why don't you tell me the reason?"
"Ah...I..." Lin Zhifang lost too much blood. Even though her face was hot, it was not red at all. She was really ashamed. How could things be like this?
Shen Jing said: "The doctor said that you suffered a serious loss this time, and I'm afraid you will never be able to have children again."
When Lin Zhifang heard this, she felt like she was falling into hell. No, it won't happen.
"So, you just rest here. Niuniu, I put it in my grandmother's house. Mother will take care of the housework. Mother, you want to take a concubine and give birth to a child for me. These things are all decided by mother, so you can rest peacefully." Come on!"
Lin Zhifang sat up suddenly, feeling dizzy and with stars in her eyes. She stretched out her hand to Shen Jing: "No, no! Husband, it was my fault. It was all my fault. I should not have followed the Queen's instructions. I will never do it again." Will you forgive me?!"
There was pain in Shen Jing's eyes, "What do you want? I can't figure it out, so I don't want to think about it. This time, His Highness King Cheng almost crippled me... I didn't dare to resist at all. What do you want?" What is it? Don’t tell me, you didn’t expect this result!”
Lin Zhifang cried with tears all over her face and said at the top of her lungs: "I really didn't expect it! I'm sorry, I'm going to kneel down to Lin Zhixiu and ask for her forgiveness! She will definitely forgive me... Husband, you Don’t abandon me!”
Shen Jing said: "If I marry you, I will not abandon you. Just spend the rest of your life in this yard! For Niuniu, you should also think carefully about what you should do!"
