After accompanying Ling Ruo and Hongli to have dinner together, Yinzhen drove back to the Yangxin Hall. As soon as Yinzhen left, Hongli whispered to Ling Ruo who was drinking tea: "Eniang, noble Qian
Is your child in bad condition?"
Ling Ruo frowned slightly, put down the tea cup and asked doubtfully: "Where did you hear this?"
Not many people should know about Liu's child's instability. Hongli was diligent in reading every day, either in writing or in the Chengqian Palace. Where did he hear these gossips.
Hongli said truthfully: "What I said back to E Niang, I heard from Hong Zhou. He also said that it is spreading everywhere in the palace now." When he said this, he looked at Ling Ruo's expression and said, "E Niang, this is
Not true?"
Oops, if this were the case, wouldn't it be very likely that the news would reach Cining Palace? The Queen Mother would never be able to bear such stimulation. Thinking like this, she comforted Hongli and said, "It's not such a thing, Mr. Qian."
It's just a little bit wrong. Dr. He has already
I have checked it out for her, and she will be fine soon. When you see Hong Zhou tomorrow, remember to tell him not to pay attention to the gossip among the palace people. You are brothers, and you should know what you should and should not listen to.
Don't follow those palace people's nonsense."
Seeing that Ling Ruo was speaking seriously, Hongli did not dare to ask any more questions and nodded: "Yes, I know I was wrong."
After saying a few more words, Ling Ruo stood up and said, "Okay, you go back to warm up your books first, while E Niang goes to see your imperial grandmother and will come back later."
Hongli was stunned and said subconsciously: "Now? But it's already dark. What if we slip on the way? Why don't we go tomorrow?"
"Eniang will be careful, it's okay." Ling Ruo was worried now. She couldn't stay any longer. She had just promised Yinzhen before. If something happened to Wu Ya's family in the blink of an eye, how would she explain to Yinzhen.
Saying this, Ling Ruo hurriedly ordered Yang Hai to hold the lamp, and took him and Shui Xiu to rush to Cining Palace. Before they arrived at Cining Palace, they heard noisy noises in front of them, and hurriedly walked over, stunned.
I saw the palace attendants of Cining Palace pulling Imperial Physician Qi to rush towards Cining Palace in a panic.
Even Imperial Physician Qi was not alarmed. Could it be that something really happened to the Queen Mother? Thinking like this, Ling Ruo walked a little faster. Because it was dark and there was only a palace lantern to illuminate the road, she didn't see anyone coming next to her.
They bumped into each other, and Ling Ruo hit her forehead. She was so painful that she made a sound for a while, and the other person also heard the same. Then she heard the voice of a young eunuch saying: "Who is so ignorant, he bumped into Concubine Xi.
"
"Shut up, don't be rude." The voice that sounded next was indeed Fang Lian'er. Ling Ruo endured the pain and bowed, "I would like to pay my respects to Concubine Xi."
After seeing Ling Ruo's identity clearly, the little eunuch beside Fang Lian'er turned pale with fright and quickly knelt down to apologize. Ling Ruo ignored him and stared at Fang Lian'er and said, "Why did Concubine Xi come here at this time?
"
Fang Lian'er also saw Ling Ruo clearly and said anxiously: "I heard from the palace people in Fu Yuexuan that the Queen Mother suddenly became ill, and the attack was fierce and very dangerous, so I came here to have a look."
She was really afraid of what she was going to get. After listening to Fang Yi'er's words, Ling Ruo's mood suddenly sank to the bottom, and she murmured: "Something really happened?"
Ling Ruo's voice was so soft that Fang Yier couldn't hear it clearly for a moment and asked: "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, let's go in quickly." Ling Ruo couldn't care less about explaining at this moment, she just wanted to know Wu Ya's current situation as soon as possible.
Fang Lian'er nodded, and the two of them entered Cining Palace together. The lights in Cining Palace were brightly lit, and the palace people were running back and forth. Everyone looked nervous. In a hurry, Ling Ruo saw a person running out of Cining Palace.
Gong, because the speed was too fast, she did not see the face of the man.
Ignoring the announcement, they entered the inner hall all the way. After passing through the curtains closed with gold hooks, they saw Wanyue standing nervously at the end of the bed, with lingering worry on her face, and they both
The imperial physician was sitting next to him to diagnose Wu Ya's pulse. Because of his obstruction, the two of them couldn't see Wu Ya's condition clearly.
In that compartment, Wanyue saw them coming and hurriedly came over. Before she could greet her, Ling Ruo couldn't wait to say: "Forgive me, Wan Qiu, what's wrong with the Queen Mother? Didn't I behave well when I came yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Yue's eyes immediately turned red, and she choked with sobs: "What Concubine Hui Xi said, in fact, until today's dinner, the Queen Mother was very good, and even had the energy to talk to the slaves, but..." Speaking of
Here, Wan Qiu said with hatred: "The little eunuch who brought dinner was so crazy that he talked nonsense in front of the Queen Mother.
He said that Lord Qian's child was about to be saved. When the Queen Mother heard this, she became anxious and urged her slaves to prepare a sedan chair and said that she wanted to see Lord Qian. The slave could not stop her and had to agree. But at this moment, the Queen Mother suddenly fainted.
He passed by, his eyes turned white, and he couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed. The servant was frightened at that time, so he quickly sent someone to ask for Doctor Qi to come over."
After listening to her narration, Ling Ruo said, "Where is that little eunuch now?"
Wan Yue said angrily: "I don't know this. I was looking after the Queen Mother just now. When I came to my senses, the little eunuch had already slipped away."
Fang Lian'er felt something was wrong. Why did she feel that the little eunuch deliberately said this in front of the Queen Mother? She quickly asked: "Do you remember what the little eunuch looked like?"
"Slave..." Wanyue tried her best to recall the appearance of the little eunuch, but the more anxious she became, the less she could remember. Her head almost exploded when she thought about it, then she shook her head helplessly and said: "He kept his head down at the time, slave.
I can’t see it clearly, I didn’t think anything of it at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel like he is deliberately not being seen clearly.”
"Did he do it on purpose? But how could he, a young eunuch, know about this?" Fang Lian'er only recently learned about the news that Liu's child was unstable.
Ling Ruo said coldly from the side: "He is not the only one who knows, the news has spread to almost all the servants in the palace."
"This is impossible!" Fang Lian'er categorically denied: "This kind of thing is never allowed to be spread among the palace people. How could so many people know about it?"
"Hongli told me. The rumor spread among the palace people. Even he and Hong Zhou heard about it. Only we, the masters, were kept in the dark." At this time, Ling Ruo was almost certain.
There is someone behind this incident, otherwise it would not be known to everyone.
"This... this..." Fang Lian'er also thought of this possibility and was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.
At this time, Imperial Physician Qi withdrew his hand. Ling Ruo and others saw her and hurriedly greeted her, "Physician Qi, how is the Queen Mother doing?"
Doctor Qi sighed heavily, lowered his eyes and said: "The Queen Mother is already weak, thanks to the medicine and a little hope in her heart. Now that she suddenly heard such news, her body can't hold on."
