The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, Wen Xiaotu woke up faintly. He felt that his body was damp and there was a faint fishy smell. Needless to say, the bed must have been dirty.
Hongguo came in with two second-class maids to wait on her, changed the sheets and bedding, and helped her change the menstrual belt and underwear. Finally, she lit a burner of incense in the inner room and finally made everything clean.
After breakfast and medicine, Liang Wanguan came in to report the latest news.
Saffron powder was found in Yifutang last night, and the Criminal Division interrogated it overnight, and the results were obtained.
"Fang Jieyu's personal maid Sui'er revealed that she saw the eunuch Hu Si bringing gold and silver jewelry to meet Xiao Dezi of Lixintang in private. As for Hu Si, he refused to admit it at first. After being tortured,
Only then was he willing to confess, admitting that he was ordered by Fang Jieyu to bribe the eunuch Xiao Dezi, and asked Xiao Dezi to contact the eunuch Xiao Lingzi who burned the fire in our palace, and tampered with your anti-fetal medicine, and later killed Xiao Dezi.
Silence."
Wen Xiaotu rubbed the center of his eyebrows. This Fang family had a lot of calculations. That Sui'er must have been the emperor's spy at Fang's side. At the critical moment, he was responsible for stabbing her in the back.
"In this case, the evidence is conclusive." Wen Xiaotu said slowly.
Liang Wankuan bowed and said, "Yes. When the Queen Mother learned about this, she was extremely angry. Before the Emperor could comment, she issued an edict to deprive the Fang family of Jieyu's status, demote her to a commoner, and banish her to the cold palace."
In one night, Fang changed from a third-grade Jieyu to a criminal woman in the cold palace.
Why bother? Why not just stay in the Buddha Bathing Hall.
Liang Wankuan said again: "Even so, the Queen Mother still felt uneasy, so she just issued another decree and rewarded the common people twenty pieces of money."
Wen Xiaotu raised his eyebrows: "Twenty boards? Fang's body is weak, so don't die if you can't bear it."
Liang Wanguan said with a smile: "Master Jieyu, please rest assured, the Emperor has not spoken yet. No matter how much the Queen Mother hates Fang, she will not kill her for the time being."
Yes, the Queen Mother was concerned about Fang's father Fang Qingru and the emperor's previous dynasty, so she would not execute Fang privately. At most, she would just torture him to vent her anger.
Wen Xiaotu also felt quite angry.
"I understand." Wen Xiaotu nodded and asked again: "Is there no decree from the Emperor yet?"
Liang Wanguan said: "Master, today is a great day."
Wen Xiaotu said "Oh", everything was not important. Suddenly, she felt a little strange, "What did you call me?" - Logically speaking, she was not the chief, and she was not considered Liang Wanguan's immediate master, so before
Liang Wanguan always called her Lady Jieyu.
Liang Wankuan knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times, "I know too much. I ask the master to protect your life! I am willing to die for your master in the future!"
Wen Xiaotu was silent for a few seconds and said, "You don't have to be so afraid. You are Liang Kunyu's godson and someone who came from the imperial court."
Liang Wankuan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is decisive in killing. If you have the intention to kill, even if you are the son of the chief manager, I will not be able to do anything. Please, Master, consider that I have served you for these days, please protect me."
Once, this slave will definitely be loyal to his master in the future!"
His biological son? Liang Kunyu, an eunuch, where did he come from? Wen Xiaotu thought happily in pain.
She is not a beloved concubine. If the emperor really wants to kill someone, can she stop him?
"Although I don't have the ability to stop the emperor, if your life is really in danger, I will try my best to protect you." Wen Xiaotu said weakly. This time, thanks to Liang Wankuan's arrangements, the game was completed.
Although she was tricked in the end, Fang also ended up in the cold palace. Life was worse than death, so she was able to get her revenge.
"Thank you, Master!" Liang Wankuan kowtowed three more times, and his heart that had been anxious for many days finally fell back into his stomach.
Wen Xiaotu smiled bitterly: Liang Wankuan thought he had caught a piece of driftwood when he asked for help, but in fact it was just a piece of duckweed.
She has no use value to the emperor.
But fortunately, she is also no threat, so the emperor should allow her to live peacefully in the harem.
That's all. Fortunately, during this period of her life as a doting concubine, she has also saved some money. When the ink business gets on the right track in the future, she will also have a steady stream of income, and she should be able to live a normal retirement life for the rest of her life.
All the hustle and bustle is finally over.
Naturally, there are still people who are not willing to leave the game, such as the common people in the cold palace. Unfortunately, they can no longer make waves.
On the tenth day after the "miscarriage", Wen Xiaotu no longer had bleeding, but she still felt very weak, and her hands and feet were always cold, so she burned a brazier in the side hall early. Although the heating effect was not as good as the floor heating in later generations, it still
Seeing a pot of silver charcoal burning red, it felt a lot warmer.
Hongguo came up with a bowl of medicine to replenish qi and blood. Wen Xiaotu didn't mind the bitterness, so she drank it while holding her nose. She had to take good care of herself quickly, otherwise she might be freezing this winter.
Bi Xin on the side shouted angrily: "Master, that Fang family is still in the cold palace, yelling all day long that she was wronged! She said that Yu Meiren framed her! She is really unrepentant!"
To this day, the emperor still has not issued any words to execute Fang, and he has not entered the harem these days. It seems that he is sad because of her "miscarriage", so he has no intention of favoring his concubine.
The Queen Mother also rarely urged the emperor.
Hong Guo suddenly said: "The Queen Mother heard that Fang was making trouble, so she sent the eldest nun of Yi Nian Palace to give her twenty slaps in the cold palace!"
After the Queen Mother was sad, she was naturally angry and wanted to peel Fang's skin and cramps.
Wen Xiaotu sighed, luckily she had concealed her false pregnancy, otherwise the Queen Mother would have spanked her or slapped her if she had known about it.
In the Qianyuan Hall, Emperor Mingzhao finished approving the last memorial. Outside the window, the north wind howled, as if winter had arrived.
He has temporarily saved those high-yielding crops and seeds, waiting for the flowers to bloom next spring. As for the shipbuilding industry in the Shipbuilding Department... After hesitation, he decided to continue. On the other side of the sea, there may be others.
The world is so vast, Daxuan, you can’t be a frog in a well, you should explore the outside world.
"Mr. Wen...how is it?" Less than half a month has passed since that day.
Liang Kunyu bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, Imperial Physician Fu said that Wen Jieyu has stopped seeing red. It's just..."
Ming Zhao frowned: "Don't hesitate!"
Liang Kunyu shrank her neck and said cautiously: "It's just that Jieyu lost too much blood and now has insufficient energy and blood. She needs to be nursed back to health for a while. At the moment... she is not suitable for sleeping in bed to conceive."
Ming Zhao's heart sank, "It's just saffron, not a sterilization drug! How can it be unsuitable for pregnancy?"
Liang Kunyu said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Wen Jieyu is still young. The imperial doctor said that she is just weak in qi and blood. She will have a good life and will be able to recover well."
Ming Zhao frowned. He originally thought it was some medicine to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and it had no hindrance. Unexpectedly, he lost Qi and blood.
I...actually don't want to hurt her.
Ming Zhao has not been to the harem for many days. In fact, he has been escaping in his heart.
He didn't know what to say when he met Mr. Wen.
Mr. Wen... must hate me, right?
She obviously believed in me so much, but I threatened her and intimidated her at the critical moment... Mingzhao couldn't help but think of Wen's weak appearance that day.
Wen was so timid, so he must have been very scared at the time, right?
