Chapter 55: Small Childbirth
Even Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Niang has helped Bei Qi this time."
Li Shengxi was writing, but he just smiled lightly when he heard the words.
"This seems to have been expected by Sanniang? But why did Sanniang do this even though she knew it would end like this?" Liu Jin was curious.
"In this game, the Northern Qi court got real benefits, but so what? The people don't know the pros and cons?" Li Shengxi tilted his head, looked at the words on the rice paper, and smiled slightly.
"What do you mean by this?"
"When these words spread to the people, the people will only know that the imperial court gets money. But they don't know anything else. After many years of management by me and others, the people of Northern Qi have already had a subconscious feeling in their minds. When the imperial court gets money, it is the officials who benefit.
What does it have to do with them? In the hearts of the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Yuanjia was still the emperor who was so foolish that he was punished by heaven. Before that, King Kang died because of his improper diplomatic strategy. In this case, let them
So what if you have a successful round?"
Li Shengxi paused for a moment, then continued to write: "What's more, the eunuch broke his arm after this incident. If Zhou's evidence is brought forward next, wouldn't they try their best to bite it? Is there such a thing?
, when Zhou Lingwen’s matter is exposed, no matter how much Rong Zhi tries to persuade him, he won’t be able to persuade him, right?”
Liu Jin nodded understandingly.
"By the way, how is Rongzhi?" Li Shengxi asked again.
"Since that day when I went to the prefecture for the last time, I fainted again. Since then, I have been living in seclusion and have never gone to court." Liu Jin quickly replied. When she saw Li Shengxi holding a pen, she quickly stepped forward to take it. She looked at
The words on the rice paper read, "This...if I hadn't seen Sanniang's handwriting, my subordinates would have thought it was the Holy One's own handwriting."
The Holy Emperor she mentioned was of course not Emperor Yuanjia, but Emperor Hongxing of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Different from Li Shengxi's Qin, her calligraphy was taught by Emperor Hongxing himself, and it was the true inheritance of Emperor Hongxing.
For example, now, even Emperor Hongxing himself might not be able to tell the difference.
"My calligraphy was taught by my brother himself." Li Shengxi looked at the ink on the rice paper with endless longing in his eyes.
After the incident in Xirong was over, what followed was the funeral of King Kang. The funeral was presided over by the King of Wu, and with the favor of the imperial court, it could be said to be a grand funeral, with almost all the distinguished officials from Wangjing coming.
Zhou Lingwen was good at dancing and had always been on good terms with Princess Huaining, so he naturally came to the funeral of King Kang.
The female family members were entertained by Princess Kang and her daughter, while the young girls were mainly entertained by Princess Huaining.
Princess Huaining finally got some free time and found an opportunity to talk to Zhou Lingwen.
Zhou Lingwen comforted Princess Huaining, and Princess Huaining calmed down a little. She cursed with red eyes: "It's a shame that I can't kill my enemies myself. Although the Xirong people paid the price, there are still thieves at large. The days are long.
, when my brother grows up and I have someone to rely on, I will definitely put that lawless thief to death."
Zhou Lingwen gently stroked Princess Huaining's back. Although Princess Huaining didn't say it clearly, who didn't know that the "thieves outside the law" she mentioned were referring to the Guan Zhi Party?
"It's good that you know this. As you said, the future is long, but I'm afraid you won't be able to calm down. Xirong has been eliminated, and the party management is at the end of the road. Don't worry about the future." Zhou and Princess Huaining
In this regard, they are still the same enemy.
Princess Huaining nodded. She said some more personal words before she managed to cheer up. She looked at Zhou Lingwen.
Different from her downfall, Zhou Lingwen is now more noble and confident than before - this is a state of triumph.
Princess Huaining thought of the loss of her father. She felt sour in her heart and said sincerely, "If you don't talk about me anymore, it's just a decadent talk. I haven't had time to congratulate you for being able to enter and leave Xingqing Palace. I think you will soon get your wish."
"
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Lingwen retorted, "It's still three years. Besides, what do you mean by saying that you are completely depressed? Now that you know you are depressed, you should cheer up. Although King Kang has ascended to the throne, he is still young after all.
The princess of the palace is so busy all alone, how can you, as your daughter, see her working so hard?"
But no matter what Zhou Lingwen said, the aura of pride that appeared all over her body could not be concealed. This was not showing off, but the natural aura brought by the spring breeze.
Princess Huaining smiled and said no more. She brought a cup of tea to Zhou Lingwen. Zhou Lingwen took a sip of tea, but after a while, his face suddenly turned pale.
“Sanniang—Sanniang, what’s wrong with you?” Princess Huaining exclaimed, frowning.
Zhou Lingwen's maid quickly supported Zhou Lingwen. Zhou Lingwen covered his stomach, sweat covering his forehead, "Belly, my belly..."
"Doctor, go and ask the doctor to come over. You guys, help the third lady to the side room quickly. Then send someone to call A Niang and Mrs. Zhou over." Princess Huaining ordered while Zhou Lingwen went to invite the doctor.
It was said that only Princess Kang and Mrs. Zhou were invited, but almost all the female relatives rushed over.
The doctor rushed over quickly. After all, King Kang's funeral was a big one and many noble people came. Just in case, Princess Kang asked the doctor to be at King Kang's house in advance to prepare for emergencies.
The doctor's expression changed after he took the pulse. He looked panicked and hesitant, his lips pursed but he did not dare to speak.
A lady on the side was impatient and asked hurriedly: "Imperial doctor, what happened to the wife of the Zhou family this time? Why is there such a smell of blood?"
Who doesn’t know that Zhou Lingwen was selected by the Queen Mother to be the concubine of the Holy Emperor? Although they don’t know why the Queen Mother left Zhou Lingwang, the legitimate daughter, and chose Zhou Lingwen, the concubine. But there is also a difference between the Zhou family women, the legitimate daughter and the concubine.
Not that big.
"Ms. Wednesday, it seems she has had a miscarriage." After the doctor said this, he immediately lowered his head.
Zhou Lingwen's face turned pale and all the blood drained away. She lowered her head and hurriedly covered up the fear in her eyes.
No, no, she can't be pregnant. She obviously drinks the soup after every sexual intercourse. The Holy Father is still observing filial piety, so she is pregnant because of her madness.
However, the imperial doctor also said that the medicine may not necessarily prevent pregnancy, and sometimes fish may slip through the net.
It couldn't be a miscarriage, absolutely not, otherwise she would be dead. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou looked unkind, and turned to look at the doctor. She smiled gently but her eyes were sharp, "Sanniang is still unmarried, how can she have a miscarriage? The doctor might as well make another diagnosis, so as not to contaminate her for no reason."
Our daughter’s innocence.”
"Mrs. Zhou." Mrs. Zhang, the step-wife of Honglu Temple Minister, stood up. She smiled slightly and said, "There may be times when a folk doctor is not good at learning, and his words may not be reliable. I am a third-generation imperial doctor from my ancestral family.
I'm crazy, but I can barely say that I'm a 'skilled doctor', so why don't you let me treat the Third Lady?"
