First Concubine

Chapter 272 Separation of flesh and blood (4)

"So good!" Xun Feng was in a good mood and took the handkerchief to wipe her lips. However, when he was about to touch her, a face as beautiful as a Barbie doll suddenly appeared in his mind, and his smile disappeared in an instant. Finally, he lost the veil and left Chen Palace with a gloomy face.

Shui Linglong ignored Xun Feng's strange behavior and just touched her belly with her hands. Thinking of her brother, sister and Guo Yan, her heart felt like a knife, but she tried her best to tell herself that she couldn't worry or drag herself down, and she had to eat well, be good. Sleep and give birth to the flesh and blood in your belly safely. Shui Linglong yawned and walked towards the big bed covered with a pure red mattress embroidered with white lily of the valley. She fell down to sleep, but then she remembered Yao Xin, "The Queen is unwell. Please make some black chicken soup and send it to me to convey my regards."

Zhi Fan and Liu Lu looked at each other, and Shui Linglong's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, "What's wrong?"

Liu Lu replied: "The Queen is unconscious and probably can't eat."

When Shui Linglong was dressed neatly and called the phoenix chariot specially gifted by Xun Feng to rush to Weiyang Palace, she unexpectedly ran into Dong Jialin. Shui Linglong keenly noticed that she was not wearing makeup. How urgent was she to rush? The **** got off the sedan chair, Shui Linglong stood up holding Zhi Fan's arm, and raised the corner of her mouth meaningfully, "Hui Zhaoyi's face is not healed yet, why don't you stay in Yuzhao Palace to recuperate?"

Dong Jialin touched her swollen face and said with a smile: "I have been thinking about the queen's phoenix body, so I want to come and see it."

Shui Linglong glanced at her, smiled slightly and said, "Does Hui Zhaoyi know what disease the queen has?"

Dong Jialin lowered her eyebrows and said, "I don't know. I only heard from Dr. Liu that the empress has been in a coma since she entered the palace and she hasn't woken up yet."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Hui Zhaoyi and Imperial Physician Liu are quite familiar with each other."

Dong Jialin hurriedly lowered her body and said, "Mr. Liu and the concubine are from the south of the Yangtze River, and he has participated in medical conferences with the emperor. The emperor then ordered him to come every day to ask for peace of mind for the concubine. The concubine will never dare to go beyond his duty. ”

Shui Linglong twitched her lips and asked, "How did you go beyond your duty when you were in the palace?"

Dong Jialin's face suddenly turned red. Shui Linglong looked away coldly and stepped across the threshold. Entering the inner hall, Jin Jue and other palace officials greeted Shui Linglong and Dong Jialin. Shui Linglong asked Jin Jue: "When did your master fall into coma? Tell him the story from beginning to end."

Jin Jue sobbed: "On the night when Dong Jia and the fifth lady of the Shui family got married, the empress felt a little unwell and went back to the room to rest. After the empress lay down, she asked her servant to go to the Huibin Pavilion to ask when the banquet would end. The servant went , but the Huibin Pavilion was in chaos. The slave could not see the master, so he returned to the wing, but there was no shadow of the queen in the wing. There were blood stains on the ground. The slave thought that the queen was injured and was scared to death... Later, the master sent someone to look for her. ...Just then...I turned right at the side door of the Vice Minister's Mansion and found the Queen Empress lying in a pool of blood in the third alley...her head..."

“Wait a minute, you said there was blood in the house?” Shui Linglong asked doubtfully.

Dong Jialin lowered her eyes and said warmly: "It's like this. I was chatting with my cousin in the side room. Suddenly I heard the sound of the door opening and closing. I felt confused and chased out. When I walked to the table, I accidentally tripped. , the cousin accidentally knocked down the vase on the table while trying to hold the concubine, and she couldn't stand firmly and fell to the ground, cutting her arm. The concubine was frightened and almost had a miscarriage. Fortunately, the emperor's grace was so great that the child was saved. ”

Shui Linglong touched Yao Xin's pale face and thought to herself: Could it be that he fell into a vegetative state? Shui Linglong asked Jin Jue again: "How is the fetus? How does the emperor plan to deal with the queen's condition?"

Dong Jialin's expression froze, and Jin Jue replied: "The fetus is fine. The emperor is planning to wait until the fetus is full term before performing a caesarean section on the empress, and then schedule a brain operation based on the empress's condition. The emperor said to remove the blood clots inside, Your Majesty will wake up!"

Shui Linglong finally figured out the reason why the Yao family surrendered. Yao Qingfeng's various revenges on Xun Feng were largely due to resentment that Xun Feng deceived Yao Xin. After all, Yao Qingfeng loved his daughter as much as her life. He could vindicate Xun Feng for her daughter, and If you can plan to kill Xun Feng, you can certainly surrender to Xun Feng now. That night, Yao Cheng and Zhuge Xi went to the palace to look for her, presumably because of Yao Xin's condition. But the rescue of Leng Youru made everyone see Xun Feng's superb medical skills and advanced medical methods. Therefore, The balance of the Yao family is tilted.

Dong Jialin looked at Shui Linglong who was deep in thought, and her heart beat loudly, "Concubine Chen, do you have any way to save the Queen?"

Shui Linglong's cold eyes suddenly shot at her, and Dong Jialin's face turned pale with fright, "Concubine Chen, why are you... looking at me like this?"

Shui Linglong gently brushed a black hair from Yao Xin's face, "Hui Zhaoyi was the last person the queen saw before the accident. I have every reason to suspect that this incident is related to Hui Zhaoyi."

Dong Jialin shuddered, "It's not a concubine! The queen met the second young lady of the Shui family for the last time!" As soon as these words came out, she felt something was wrong.

Shui Linglong said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Hey, how dare Hui Zhaoyi drag her body about to have a miscarriage all the way to the side door to track the queen? Then Hui Zhaoyi can see clearly who killed the queen?"

Dong Jialin's face changed slightly, she lowered her head and defended: "No, concubine... I asked the gatekeeper of the Minister's Mansion afterwards, and they told me that the Queen and the Second Miss Shui left the mansion at the same time."

Shui Linglong smiled coldly, "Hui Zhaoyi dare to swear to God that you were not involved in this matter?"

Dong Jialin's eyes trembled and tears fell down, "Your Majesty, why did I offend you? Do you insist on holding on to me again and again? If your Majesty really doesn't like my concubine, she will tell the Emperor Please let me go out of the palace to worship the Buddha and pray for Dazhou for the rest of my life!"

Shui Linglong smiled faintly, "I'm just joking with you!"

 Back at Yuzhao Palace, Dong Jialin's whole back was soaked in cold sweat. Xing'er hurriedly handed over a cup of wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea, "Empress, what are you afraid of?"

Dong Jialin breathed quickly and said, "Shui Linglong doubts me."

"Ah?" Xing'er opened her eyes wide, "Do you doubt me? In what way?"

Dong Jialin leaned on a pillow embroidered with peony, "She suspected that I had tampered with Yao Xin's matter."

Xing'er was slightly startled. Wasn't it you who moved her?

Dong Jialin closed her eyes, unable to do anything. When she forced Feng Yanying to deal with Yao Xin, she originally hoped that Feng Yanying could eliminate future troubles forever. After Yao Xin died, she was the only link between Xun Feng and the Yao family. If she gave birth to her eldest son again, her future would be... immeasurable! However, Feng Yanying was not ruthless enough. She only put Yao Xin to sleep, but did not kill her. When Yao Xin wakes up one day, all of them will be finished!

Xing'er offered her a cup of tea and consoled her: "My queen, don't worry too much. The emperor only said that there is hope of resuscitating her, but there is no guarantee that she will be able to wake up."

Dong Jialin took the teacup tremblingly, but because her hands were shaking so much, she dropped the teacup to the ground. Dong Jialin held her chest and said thoughtfully: "I have a new red eighteenth bachelor, please Li Zhaorong and Wu Guifei Come and watch.”

But Shui Linglong left Weiyang Palace and kept thinking about Yao Xin's injury, and her intuition told her that Dong Jialin was very suspicious.

 “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Fourth Miss wants to see you!” Outside the door, the little maid reported.

Shui Lingyue came to say goodbye. She didn't have time to ask Yun Li for the favor, so Xun Feng gave it to her. She is now the fourth daughter of the Shui family, and has returned to the starting point. She is full of emotion, "Young and energetic, with a strong vanity, she refuses to admit defeat or accept her fate, and she spends her best years in the deep palace by tossing left and right. ”

Shui Linglong also had a lot of emotions. She never thought that she could get along with the concubine who fought the most fiercely so peacefully. "What are your plans after leaving the palace?"

Shui Lingyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Your Majesty allows me to take away the jewelry that the Supreme Emperor gave me. I can sell it for a lot of money. I like the excitement, but I hate the capital. I probably will take it with me..." After a pause, he skipped Name, "Go and settle in a lively city."

Shui Linglong turned around and took out a stack of silver notes and two large boxes of gold and silver jewelry from the drawer of the dressing table. "I don't need these things anymore. You can spend your days outside the palace instead of me."
