First Concubine

Chapter 128 Offering treasure to save son (4)

“Hmm.” Zhuge Xi made a weak nasal sound, obviously a little worried.

Hua Rong moved a porridge and sat down by the bed, picked up the bowl, scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Zhuge Xi's lips: "Young mistress, Mother Luo said that you have been hungry for too long. Please use some porridge to warm you up for the first meal. Stomach, let me prepare a heartier meal for you later.”

Zhuge Xi was indeed hungry, so he ate a bowl of porridge obediently. He still wanted to eat, so Huarong filled another bowl. Zhuge Xi drank a few mouthfuls but felt very full.

Hua Rong took out a handkerchief and wiped Zhuge Xi's mouth. Zhuge Xi felt sleepy and lay down to continue sleeping. Hua Rong pursed her lips and expressed the doubts she had hidden in her heart for a long time: "My eldest mistress, have you ever thought about why you gave birth prematurely?" ?”

Zhuge Xi yawned: "What? What's wrong? What did Mother Luo say?"

Hua Rong added his own subjective thoughts and replied: "Mother Luo said that it is normal for some twins to be born prematurely, but you have given them too early. After all, Mother Luo has been in this industry for many years. What troubles and pickles are there?" Have you ever seen this trick? She only delivers babies, but her ears and mouth are dead."

At the end, fearing that Zhuge Xi might not believe it, he added, "The Crown Princess also thinks so."

People are prone to believe in bad things. Zhuge Xi didn't feel much at first, but now she seemed to smell a conspiracy. In addition, the culprit of Guyuan Cream has not yet been found, so she became even more uneasy: "Linglong How to say?"

Hua Rong told Shui Linglong about inspecting daily necessities and food: "...the Crown Princess is not a serious doctor after all. Even if she can recognize cold food, she can't tell the fishiness in it. Young Mistress, you see. Should we invite the doctor from the mansion to investigate."

Zhuge Xi said without hesitation: "Please come and take a look."

Soon, Hua Rong took the doctor to Zhuge Xi's original bedroom. The doctor carefully checked all the items in the room, including the clothes in the cabinet and the flowers in the vase. The food and daily necessities were safe, but... There's something wrong with the floral pillow!

The doctor sighed slowly: "There is an oleander hidden in the cotton wool of the pillow. The whole oleander plant is poisonous and can cause miscarriage or stillbirth. The eldest mistress Ji Ren Tianxiang gave birth prematurely. It is really...a blessing among misfortunes!"

Hua Rong reported the doctor’s words to Zhuge Xi truthfully, and Zhuge Xi suddenly changed his expression!

The small floral pillow and bedding were her dowry, and these dowries were all prepared by the princess. Zhuge Xisu's hands suddenly clenched into fists: "Call the Crown Princess!"

Shui Linglong went to visit Zhuge Xi. She had moved back to her original bedroom. Shui Linglong noticed that the sheets and mattress were all brand new, including the small floral pillow that she had tampered with.

Shui Linglong's eyes were as bright as the moon and there was an imperceptible light. She smiled and said hello: "Sister, do you feel better?"

Zhuge Xi leaned on the head of the bed, with three thousand black hair hanging down, against his pale and slightly swollen face. His beautiful eyes, with clear and shrewd light, looked at Shui Linglong with a sharpness that penetrated everything. , but he is not fighting against her.

 “Sit down.” Zhuge Xi pointed to the man next to him.

Shui Linglong sat down as she was told and said with concern: "My nephew is very cute. Although he was born a little premature, he is very strong. The eldest brother cries more easily, while the second brother is quieter. Now he is fed by the wet nurse and has fallen asleep. Sister, you are how do you feel?"

Thinking of his sons, a knowing smile appeared on Zhuge Xi's pale face: "I'm fine, how are you and Yu'er?"

Shui Linglong showed a little shyness: "That's fine."

Zhuge Xi looked at Shui Linglong steadily, his eyes flickering and said: "You have been together for more than two months, and Yu'er has not agreed to move in. You have not spread the good news?"

Shui Linglong touched her flat belly, shook her head, and said, "Nothing."

 “Yu’er didn’t work hard enough?” Zhuge Xi seemed to want to prove something!

Shui Linglong shook her head again: "My husband... he is... working very hard..."

Zhuge Xi's eyes darkened a bit, he hesitated several times, and finally patted Shui Linglong's hand and said seriously: "It's okay, you are still young, two months is nothing, your brother-in-law and I are five, Haven't you been waiting for six years? Go back, I will take my brothers back home to meet you after confinement. "

Shui Linglong tucked her hair back from her temples and said with a light smile, "I understand, sister, you will have a good life."

“Well, let’s go!” Zhuge Xi nodded and smiled unnaturally.

Shui Linglong saw through it without saying anything, got up and left the house.

As soon as the person left, the smile on Zhuge Xi's face gradually condensed on the corners of his lips: "Hua Rong!"

Hua Rong walked out of the ear room, looked at the swaying bead curtain, leaned forward and said, "Young lady."

Zhuge Xi closed his eyes full of pain and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to the palace to check the princess's diet and living habits, and report everything in detail! I hope I am being too worried..."

Huarong's head felt cold. Could it be that someone had tampered with the eldest mistress's suspicion that the concubine was unable to conceive?

Getting on the carriage, Shui Linglong leaned on the soft pillow, picked up an orange and peeled it with a smile.

Seeing her happy look, Zhi Fan couldn't help but smile and asked: "Miss is so happy, could it be that she succeeded?"

　　It is too early to say whether you will succeed or not. She didn't expect that Zhuge Xi would give birth prematurely. When she got the news, she came up with this plan on the spur of the moment, and she couldn't guarantee how effective it would be. Shui Linglong ate a piece of orange and said, "If anyone checks my diet and daily life, tell Liu Lu that they don't need to be secretive."

"Yes." Zhifan is used to the fact that the eldest lady often doesn't answer her questions. The eldest lady is the master, and she is a slave. A slave's duty is to do things. The eldest lady has valued her again these days, and she can't help but feel a little complacent. No, the eldest lady poured cold water on her again.

 The master is more moody, so that the servants can keep a clear mind at all times. The result of blind respect can only be that the servants' tails are raised to the sky, especially Zhifan is still a young girl!

 But sometimes some people, even if they don’t get the corresponding respect, can still raise their tails to the sky!

As soon as Shui Linglong stepped into Mohe Courtyard, she saw a group of servants fighting in a group--

 Liu Lu and Hongzhu both grabbed each other's hair and kicked each other hard!

A Si and A Ji were pinned down by Bai Mei and Bai Ju, the former second-class maids of the palace, and were beaten and kicked.

Ye Mao beat the other four maids till their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.

Mother Zhong was probably injured accidentally when she was preparing to break up the fight. Her forehead was bleeding and she was leaning against the peach tree with her dying breath.

As soon as Mrs. Yu, who was guarding the door, moved her eyes, she ran out and unexpectedly bumped into Shui Linglong.

Seeing that she was about to hit him without any time to walk, and Zhi Fan was following behind before she could react, Shui Linglong raised his foot and kicked her thigh mercilessly!

"Ouch!" Mrs. Yu screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Before she could curse, she heard Shui Linglong's sharp words, "Stop all of them!"

Everyone was startled and looked at the source of the sound. Only then did they find Shui Linglong standing at the door with a gloomy look on her face. Her sharp eyes glanced at the corners of everyone's eyes like knives. Everyone let go almost uncontrollably. Hands, they all lowered their heads.

Shui Linglong's sharp eyes glanced at Mother Zhong's bleeding forehead and trembled slightly, but she didn't stop for much, but looked at Liu Lu and Hongzhu and said sternly: "It's okay, I'm just out of town." Men, you just want to take off the tiles on my roof! Do you still have the rules of the palace?"

Everyone almost hung their heads into their crotches. During the fight, no one cared so much about it, but once they calmed down and thought about it, they suddenly realized what kind of mistake they had made.

Hongzhu bravely raised her head and said: "Prince Concubine, you really don't blame us for this matter! Since the commotion has become big today, this slave has the courage to ask for an explanation from the Crown Princess! He is also a slave of Mohe Courtyard, and he is also a servant of Mo Heyuan. Master, why is it that Mr. Liu Lu bosses us around and assigns all the dirty and tiring work to us, but she only talks about it? This slave is also a first-class maid. Although the prince does not allow her to enter the master bedroom, she is also a slave. There is no reason to carry water and pour night fragrance! Moreover, Liu Lu is not the only one who interferes. She has to take care of all the second-class maids and third-class maids! The good work is left to the people of the Shangshu Mansion, and the thankless ones are left to them. Forced on us! The slave couldn't bear it anymore, so she argued with Liu Lu for a few words! Unexpectedly, she was so arrogant that she slapped the slave without saying anything! ! The others stepped forward to break up the fight, but they were all beaten with bruises and bruises by Ye Mao... Because of the chaos, they didn't even notice that they accidentally injured Mother Zhong!"

These words were really well spoken, placing all the responsibilities on Liu Lu's head. Hong Zhu knew that Shui Linglong was the most vague about Mother Zhong, so she attributed Mother Zhong to an accidental injury in the chaos, cleverly avoiding the deliberate beating. suspicion.

Liu Lu's eyes were so sharp that he seemed to tear off a red bead: "Shameless! Is this why I hit you?"

There was a trace of contempt in Hongzhu's eyes, but he said confidently: "Is it because of something else? Just tell me! Tell me clearly in front of so many people why you hit me!"

"You..." Liu Lu raised her hand and planned to slap her again. Zhi Fan quickly ran to her side and held down her hand. He scolded her at a volume that only two people could hear, "You're stupid! You are carrying a big bag on your back." Fighting with a young lady and being violent in front of a young lady are not errors on the same level at all!”
