Chuntao glanced at the sky outside and said, "Master, it's getting late, so we'd better wait until tomorrow."
Yehenala stroked her face and smiled faintly and said: "The mother and son of the concubine Ying are out of danger. If I can't go through such a big happy event, how can it make sense? Let's prepare a father-in-law."
Seeing that Yehenala had made up her mind, Chuntao stopped persuading him and prepared a carriage to go to Changchun Palace. When he got there, he found that Hongli, Xianyue and Concubine Yu were all there; Hu was still lying on the couch.
Yes, but he seems to be in better spirits and not in any pain.
After Yehenara paid his respects, Hongli said, "Didn't I ask you to have a good rest in the palace? Why are you here again?"
Yehenala said respectfully: "I'm really happy when I heard that my sister and the dragon fetus in her belly are safe and sound. If I don't come over and take a look, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night."
Mrs. Hu's eyes flashed slightly and she said: "I'm worried about my sister. Fortunately, thanks to Dr. Zhou's treatment, the fetal gas has gradually stabilized. Dr. Zhou said that as long as she is healthy and rests, she should be able to survive until the end of September."
"September? Doesn't it mean that the baby is born in October?" Facing Yehenala's doubts, Concubine Yu said: "Actually, the baby is said to be born in October, but the actual pregnancy period is only nine months, and sister Yingbin is pregnant.
Since they are twins, they will definitely give birth earlier, so it is almost enough to ensure that they last until September."
"That's it." After Yehenala finished speaking, Xianyue said: "By the way, Concubine Ying hasn't told the emperor and this palace yet, why she fell suddenly, but someone pushed you?" After saying the last part,
While saying this, her eyes swept across Yehenala's body. Although it was just a glance, Yehenala felt like she had been completely seen through, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Mrs. Hu shook her head and said: "No one pushed me away. It was me who felt a pain in the sole of her foot and was caught off guard, so she fell." After a pause, she continued: "I remember that I felt like I was being beaten.
The needle sticks just fine."
"Needles?" Concubine Yu said with a surprised look on her face: "Why are there needles on the road to the Imperial Garden? Did Concubine Ying remember it wrong?"
Mrs. Hu thought for a while and said firmly: "No, I remember it very clearly. It was just the needle pricking me. There is no mistake."
"This is really strange. Even if someone accidentally dropped the needle in the imperial garden, it would fall flat there. There is no way it could have pricked Concubine Ying, unless..." Concubine Yu suddenly stopped talking and Hongli said coldly.
Said: "Unless what?"
Concubine Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm just talking nonsense. Your Majesty, please don't take it to your heart."
Even if she refused to say it, Hong Li could still guess what she was saying. His eyes fell on A Luo and said, "Go and check my concubine Ying to see if the sole of her foot is really injured."
A Luo responded and walked to the couch as he was told. After lifting the brocade quilt from behind for a little inspection, he knelt down and said, "If you go back to the emperor, there are indeed traces of needle pricks on the sole of one of Concubine Ying's feet."
Hearing this, Hongli's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "Let's see if there are needles stuck in the soles of those shoes."
After Aluo took the shoes and looked at them carefully, a strange color flashed in his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing abnormal about the embroidered soles of Concubine Ying, and there are no traces of being punctured by needles."
As soon as this statement came out, Hongli and others were unexpected. Xianyue frowned and said, "Have you checked clearly?"
"Yes, I looked at it very carefully. It's true that it's not there." After that, she handed the embroidery bottom to Si Xi, who looked at it over and over for a long time, and came to the same conclusion as A Luo.
This is really strange. There are obvious traces of needle pricks on Mrs. Hu's feet, but there is nothing on her embroidered shoes. They are intact. Even Ms. Hu herself feels puzzled and doesn't understand what the problem is.
Although Mr. Hu always insisted that he remembered correctly, because the embroidered shoes were intact, the matter became complicated and confusing. Naturally, it was impossible to say that someone had deliberately harmed Mr. Hu.
After sitting for a while, Hongli, Concubine Yu, and Yehenala left one after another, leaving only Xianyue in the palace. After the palace door was closed, Mrs. Hu tried her best to stand up and said: "My queen, do you believe me?"
Concubine, I really remembered it right, something did stab me."
"You should just lie down and don't get up. The imperial doctors spent a lot of effort to save the child in your belly. You must not get any more damage." After Qiu Ju helped Mrs. Hu lie down, Xia Yue continued.
She said: "I believe you, but the matter of embroidering shoes really doesn't make sense." After a pause, she said: "Do you think someone is deliberately trying to harm you, mother and son?"
Mrs. Hu nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, and the person who harmed my concubine must be Shu Bin. During this period, she clearly didn't like my concubine, but she still ran to my concubine every two days, and even proposed to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.
"If it weren't for her, I would never have done anything like that today."
"But if a needle pricks the sole of your foot, there will be traces on the shoes, but this pair..." Xianyue shook her head and said, "Both Aluo and Sixi have seen it before, and there is no trace at all."
When saying this, Aluohu said: "Master, can I let this slave take a look at the soles of your shoes?"
Xianyue was very surprised by A Luo's question, but she knew A Luo's temperament very well, and every word or action had her intention, so she let him look at the soles of his shoes without asking any more questions.
After looking at it, A Luo said: "Master, Ying Concubine has been to the Imperial Garden before. Although there is no mud along the way, it will be stained with some dust, just like you, Master. However, the embroidered shoes of Concubine Ying, the slave, are extremely clean.
, it can even be said that they are spotless, as if they are new shoes that have just been taken out.”
Xianyue took it and saw that it was indeed the case, and said in shock: "Why is this happening?"
"This slave can't answer my master." After A Luo finished speaking, Mrs. Hu suddenly said: "Qiu Ju, put on my shoes for me."
Qiu Ju said in surprise: "Master, have you forgotten Dr. Zhou's instructions? You cannot go to the ground."
"I don't want to go to the ground, I just want to try out the size of the shoes. Just wear them." Faced with Hu's urging, Qiu Ju had no choice but to agree and put on the embroidered shoes. Little did she know that as soon as the shoes were put on her feet, Hu
Shi shook his head and said: "No, these are not the pair I am wearing today."
Qiu Ju took a closer look and said: "The embroidered peonies are the ones that the master is wearing today. There is nothing wrong with them."
"When I wore them this morning, they were just the right size, but this pair is a little tight on my feet. It's definitely not the case." Hu's words made Qiu Ju confused. They were obviously just a pair of shoes, so why did the master insist on saying they weren't?
At this moment, Xianyue suddenly said: "Yingbin, do you suspect that someone has secretly changed your embroidered shoes?"
"Yes, the soles of the shoes are so clean, and they are different from the shape of my feet. These shoes must not be the ones I wore this morning. Someone changed the shoes, but..." Mrs. Hu frowned and said: "
I don’t know why, but they are exactly the same, no matter the color or the color of the embroidery, they are exactly the same.”
