Chapter 299 The Son of Heaven who lacks a sense of security! 【3 more】
The queen walked forward slowly, her long skirt hanging on the ground. Two maids followed behind her, and several concubines followed her in their respective roles. They were laughing and chatting. It was obvious that the queen was in a good mood.
Consort Wu said to the Queen with a bit of envy in her eyes: "My sister is pregnant with a dragon child now, but Your Majesty comes to my sister's palace much more often. You are really envious of our sisters!"
There was a bit of a smile on the Queen's face. She glanced at the Wu family slightly and said, "Your Majesty has so many things to do, so you can take the time to see our sisters. That is our sister's blessing..."
While she was talking, a maid who had been following the queen suddenly felt weak on her feet and subconsciously fell towards the queen. As if instinctively, she pushed towards the queen with both hands.
The queen felt a strong force coming from behind her, and she couldn't help but fall forward.
The maid fell to the ground, and at the same time, the queen was also pushed to the ground.
"The Queen..."
This sudden change can be said to have shocked everyone. When they reacted, the queen had already fallen to the ground.
At this time, everyone had a look of shock on their faces and hurriedly stepped forward to help the queen. At this moment, the queen had a bit of cold sweat on her forehead. She covered her abdomen with her hands and shouted in pain: "It hurts!"
The people with the highest status present, besides the Queen, were the Concubine Shen and the Concubine Wu. Seeing Wu’s eyes falling on the maid who knocked down the Queen, she said in a deep voice: "Come here, give me this person."
Take it and tell the imperial doctor to come quickly!"
Several maids stepped forward and carefully helped the queen up who was crying in pain. At this moment, Concubine Wu looked at the queen with a nervous look on her face and said: "Sister, how do you feel? My sister has already ordered someone to ask the imperial doctor to come.
Sister, you must not let anything happen to you!"
It can be said that everyone looked panicked when they saw the Queen's unbearable abdominal pain. If anything happened to Long Zi in the Queen's belly, it can be expected that the Emperor will definitely be furious, and by then I am afraid that all of them will
It can't be separated.
Even concubines like Virtuous Concubine and Xian Concubine might get a bad name for plotting to murder the prince. Regardless of whether it was related to them or not, at least they were at the scene when the queen's accident occurred. For this reason alone, they could not escape the relationship.
Shen said with a bit of panic on her face: "Go and report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come here!"
Here Zhu Houzhao was riding on a luan and driving toward Kunning Palace. Before he even approached Kunning Palace, he saw a palace maid serving the queen running over in a panic.
The palace maid saw Zhu Houzhao's driver from a distance, a bright light flashed in her eyes, and she stepped forward quickly but was stopped by the chamberlain.
The palace maid fell to her knees and said to Zhu Houzhao with a look of panic on her face: "Your Majesty, the Queen, the Queen..."
Zhu Houzhao naturally recognized that the maid was someone close to the queen. Seeing the maid's panic, he couldn't help but wonder, could something have happened in the queen's palace?
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "Lingxiang, tell me quickly, what happened to the queen?"
The palace maid named Lingxiang said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen accidentally fell down and seems to have had fetal motility. Now she is suffering from unbearable abdominal pain..."
"What!"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard the words, stood up suddenly, jumped down from the Luanjia, and said to Gu Dayong: "My companion, I will rush to Kunning Palace right now! You can quickly send the imperial doctor to come.
.”
Gu Dayong quickly accepted the order and left, while Zhu Houzhao rushed towards Kunning Palace with an anxious look on his face, and a group of internal servants behind him also followed closely in panic.
Shao Yuanjie frowned and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I will guide you for a moment!"
While speaking, Shao Yuanjie put a hand on Zhu Houzhao's shoulder. The next moment, Zhu Houzhao felt his body moving forward lightly, the surrounding scenery flashed by quickly, and the whole person seemed to be flying.
Among the several chamberlains, there were naturally those who had practiced the Sunflower Book. When they saw Shao Yuanjie leading Zhu Houzhao away, they stood out and used Qinggong to catch up.
In the garden, the ladies naturally did not dare to move the queen without authorization, so Concubine Xian, Concubine De and others ordered people to take quilts and let the queen lean on the quilts.
Just looking at the queen's pale complexion and the faint beads of sweat on her forehead, one can tell that the queen is really suffering from unbearable abdominal pain, and maybe she really has fetal force.
While Wu was wiping the sweat from her forehead, Mrs. Wu said anxiously: "The imperial doctor, why hasn't the imperial doctor arrived yet?"
At this moment, Shao Yuanjie arrived with Zhu Houzhao. When the girls saw Zhu Houzhao, they were stunned for a moment, and then quickly knelt down on the ground.
"I, my concubine, are waiting to see your majesty. May your majesty be safe!"
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, strode forward, walked to the queen's side, grabbed the queen's hand with one hand and said in a deep voice: "Queen, how are you, do you need it..."
The pale queen raised her head, smiled at Zhu Houzhao, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the pain in my belly is unbearable, is it... I am carrying a child in my belly, is it..."
Zhu Houzhao shouted: "Queen, don't worry, I promise you, nothing will happen to my child!"
Seemingly thinking of something, Zhu Houzhao immediately said to Shao Yuanjie: "Master Shao, you are proficient in medical science, please help the queen diagnose."
Shao Yuanjie took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed to the queen, and then said: "Your Majesty, I'm so rude!"
The queen nodded towards Shao Yuanjie, frowned and said: "I would like to ask you to keep the baby in my belly!"
Shao Yuanjie placed his solemn expression on the Queen's wrist. Gradually, the expression on Shao Yuanjie's face softened a bit. When Shao Yuanjie let go of the Queen's wrist, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said to Shao Yuanjie: "Master, how is the Queen?"
Shao Yuanjie nodded towards Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, please don't panic. The queen is indeed pregnant. Fortunately, God has blessed her. I will use a silver needle to calm down the baby and help the queen to have a baby!"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said to Shao Yuanjie: "It's such a thank you to the master."
Shao Yuanjie then saw Shao Yuanjie taking out a silver needle from his arms and pricking several of the queen's acupuncture points. He put one hand on the queen's wrist and a stream of extremely pure Taoist inner breath slowly entered the queen's body.
In just a dozen breaths, the expression on the Queen's face, which was originally in unbearable pain, could not help but soften a bit. Noticing the change in the Queen's expression, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Shao Yuanjie gratefully.
After tea time, Gu Dayong hurried over with several imperial doctors, and was about to step forward to help the queen diagnose, but was stopped by Zhu Houzhao.
After a while, Shao Yuanjie let go of his hand, stretched out his hand, and a few silver needles disappeared. Then he stood up and saluted Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen's fetal energy has been calmed down. She only needs to be nursed back to health and she will be fine.
"
At this moment, the queen, who was in so much pain that she couldn't support herself, slowly stood up with the help of her maid, bowed to Shao Yuanjie and said, "I would like to thank you, Master."
Slightly turning sideways to avoid the Queen's salute, Shao Yuanjie bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome!"
Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and patted the queen's hand, and called to Gu Dayong: "Gu Daban, please take care to send the queen back to Kunning Palace to rest. Several imperial doctors also went to diagnose the empress."
After watching the queen leave, Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned cold and he glanced at the concubines and maids including the Virtuous Concubine Wu, the Virtuous Concubine Shen and so on.
A chamberlain put down a chair. Zhu Houzhao sat on the chair and looked coldly at the women who were kneeling on the ground with frightened expressions. After a while, he said: "Concubine De, Concubine Xian, please give it to me.
Tell me, why did the queen fall, causing the fetus to move, and the baby in her belly almost dying?"
One accident was a serious crime of murdering the royal heirs, but few people dared to bear such a serious crime. The virtuous concubines and the virtuous concubines all turned pale.
Then I heard Concubine De tremble and say: "Your Majesty is aware of it, how could I dare to harm the empress? It was that palace maid, it was the palace maid who bumped into the empress..."
The Concubine Xian cried even more: "The Queen treats us like sisters. Although my sister is pregnant with a dragon son, although we are envious, we are also happy for Your Majesty and for my sister. We never dare to have the slightest thought of harming others! Still!
Your Majesty, please take a closer look..."
With a cold snort, Zhu Houzhao naturally knew that the harem could never be so pure, so he would not fully believe the words of Concubine Xian and Concubine De, and of course he would not think that Concubine Xian or Concubine De must be the ones who harmed the Queen.
"Someone, bring that palace maid up!"
Soon the palace maid who was under the guard of Concubine Wu was brought over.
With just one glance, Zhu Houzhao could tell that something was wrong with this palace maid, because this palace maid had clearly caused the queen to almost lose her fetus. A normal person would have been frightened to death, but this palace maid looked calm and showed no signs of panic.
With his eyes focused, Zhu Houzhao looked at the palace maid and said, "If I remember correctly, your name is Yuzhu, and you have been serving the queen for almost three years. Can you tell me why you want to murder the dragon in the queen's belly?"
However, Yu Zhu chuckled and said: "Hunjun, if you have the ability, go and ask Emperor Yama!"
Shao Yuanjie, who was standing next to Zhu Houzhao, exclaimed: "Not good!"
The next moment, Shao Yuanjie stepped forward, stretched out his hand and touched the maid Yu Zhu, but black blood gradually oozed out of Yu Zhu's mouth.
Shao Yuanjie, who was a step too late, was unable to stop the opponent from biting open the poison sac and committing suicide by taking the poison.
When Zhu Houzhao saw this, he couldn't help being furious. He stood up and said angrily: "It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. In my palace, the maid next to the queen is actually someone else's death..."
No wonder Zhu Houzhao had such a big reaction. It was Yu Zhu's determination to commit suicide by taking poison that deeply stimulated Zhu Houzhao.
Yu Zhu's behavior was clearly that of a person with a death wish, which made Zhu Houzhao have to wonder if he was a dead soldier planted in the palace by others.
Of course, it would be a bit exaggerated to say that he was a dead soldier, but it was obvious that the person behind Yu Zhu was definitely not simple. What made Zhu Houzhao most angry was that someone actually placed someone next to the queen.
Does it mean that in the palace, not only the queen has been surrounded by personnel, but also the emperor, himself?
After checking Yu Zhu's body, Shao Yuanjie stood up, shook his head slightly towards Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, the poison this woman took is extremely poisonous and can be fatal in an instant!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao nodded towards Shao Yuanye and glanced at Concubine De, Concubine Xian and others, but these people were frightened.
These people, who were enjoying themselves in the palace, never thought that such a terrible thing would happen in front of them. Some people even felt weak when they saw Yu Zhu's terrifying appearance of bleeding from all his orifices, and couldn't help but fainted.
With a bit of impatience, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "Please return to your residence one by one. No one is allowed to step out of your residence within a month!"
Although they were punished, Concubine De, Concubine Xian and others felt as if they had received an amnesty. After bowing to Zhu Houzhao, they left in a panic, for fear that if they were a step too late, the emperor would regard them as plotting against the queen.
Gu Dayong, who was sending the queen back to the palace, just came back and saw the bleeding corpse lying on the ground. He was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, this..."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Gu Dayong and said, "Daban, go and find out how this woman entered the palace and what her background was before she entered the palace."
Although I don't have much hope, after all, since the other party chose Yu Zhu to attack the Queen, it means that Yu Zhu's identity and origin are not afraid of investigation at all, and even if he does, he may not be able to find anything useful.
Rubbing his forehead, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "Inform me of my will, and the four eunuchs of Huang Shicheng, Chen Du, and Huang Shicheng, the young eunuchs, will accompany you!"
Gu Dayong was stunned for a moment and immediately understood Zhu Houzhao's intention of recruiting a chamberlain from Emperor Shicheng. Apparently, the empress's placement of personnel made Zhu Houzhao suspect that the chamberlains around him were also bribed by others, or that they were placed in by others just like the palace maid.
of human hands.
Huang Shicheng has always been an inconspicuous place in the palace, and Huangshicheng can be said to be Chu Yi's territory. Since Chu Yi, all the eunuchs in Huangshicheng, big and small, were dispatched by Chu Yi.
Zhu Houzhao didn't trust other people, but he believed deeply in Chu Yi. While doubting the servants around him, the first thing he thought of was to transfer Chu Yi's subordinates to his side.
Although Gu Dayong saw through this, he did not dare to complain at all. Even Gu Dayong himself was afraid that if some of the servants around Zhu Houzhao were really bribed, he would do something by then.
Then he will definitely be blamed for his death.
After changing the servants around him, Zhu Houzhao walked back and forth, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. If the other party dared to attack the queen, he might not dare to attack him. Thinking that his situation might be in danger, Zhu Houzhao paused and said to Gu Dayong: "Gu Dayong
You immediately send someone to convey my message to Chu Daban and order him to return to the capital as soon as possible. If it is too late, I... I will definitely give him a slap!"
Without Chu Yi by his side, Zhu Houzhao always lacked a sense of security. Just as he originally lacked a sense of security, he moved out of the Forbidden City and hid in the Leopard Room to become his own.
