The cards in her hand were pinched out of shape, Lan Qi was heartbroken, but she didn't dare to reveal too much in front of the Queen Mother, so she calmed down and came in, but the old man knew her too well, and he knew something bad was going on just by looking at her face.
Concerned: "Did something happen in Yonghe Palace? After all, you are raising two baby babies. Shouldn't you always stay here with me?"
"Everyone is fine, princess and brother. There is something going on at home." Lan Qi lowered her head to sort out her cards and slowly told the Empress Dowager what had happened to Lan Ying. Instead, she was worried that the old man would be anxious. The Empress Dowager only sighed, "I looked at her that day.
Pregnancy is really hard before they are fully grown. Xuan Ye’s children in his early years could not be saved. Rong Fei and Hui Fei were too young at the time. It was much better when you were pregnant with the fourth brother. You were able to keep and raise your first child better than them.
She is lucky. Don't be too sad. She is still young. She has been recuperated for a few years and her body will be strong before it is too late to recuperate."
Lan Qi was in the same mood at that time, so she didn't want to overcomplicate the matter. She only waited for Mrs. Wu Ya to enter the palace two days later. She wiped her tears and said that both the imperial physician and the doctors outside the palace had seen it and said that Ying'er was not a natural miscarriage, but a miscarriage.
If you are injured by drugs, you may even worry that your roots have been damaged. You may not be able to have children in three or four years. If you are not lucky, you may not be able to have children in your lifetime.
"I always thought that if she could give birth to a boy and a half girl, she would be able to stand up straight in Niu Hulu's family. The first time she went back to her parents' house, she told her that the letter from the moon had not come, so she asked the doctor who came to her family to see it.
I was really happy to know that it was Ximai. I was just afraid that something might happen if there were so many people in the big house, so I didn’t ask her to tell her family, but she was careful, but she still ended up like this.” Mrs. Wu Ya’s eyes were filled with tears.
It took a long time to calm down and sighed, "I shouldn't say this to your empress. She has her own destiny."
Hearing that it was caused by drugs, Lan Qi asked which imperial physician had gone to the palace. Lan Qi immediately summoned someone. The imperial physician used to work for the Niu Hulu family, and he was loyal to the noble concubine. But now that the two palaces are getting married, Aling'a is right.
The beloved wife loved her very much, and most of these people still took orders outside the palace, so they didn't care about the imperial concubine and told the imperial concubine everything.
Sure enough, the palace doctor was called to see him. It was not just a simple matter of seeing a doctor. Everything in Lan Ying's house was checked and there was nothing abnormal. He only asked about Xin Fujin's daily diet and what he had eaten in the past few days. Everything was checked.
To no avail, until I mentioned the Laba porridge that was given to me by Xianfu Palace on the day of Laba. The whole family ate it, leaving only one bowl to enshrine in the ancestral hall. As a result, I checked and found some saffron in the porridge.
Several imperial doctors asked people to eat a bowl of Laba porridge respectively. According to each person's complexion and pulse, they judged that this seemingly simple bowl of Laba porridge should contain a huge amount of saffron. Because Laba porridge itself is rich in taste and aromatic, the light saffron is added to the rice porridge.
The breath is masked, and ordinary people will feel stomach discomfort and excitement after eating. It is a festival day, drinking alcohol or eating too much. These symptoms are not surprising, but pregnant women in Xinfujin will never be able to withstand such strong medicine.
According to the girl next to Fujin, Fujin had been feeling unwell since that afternoon. Everyone thought it was because he was upset. In the middle of the night, he began to suffer from unbearable abdominal pain and even started to see redness. Then he hurriedly called the doctor, but it was too late. Fujin was in a lot of pain.
The stomachache at night was finally relieved on the morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and the child was gone.
"Mother, saffron is a precious medicinal material that ordinary people can't get easily. This year, the use in the hospital is limited. For this bowl of porridge, the person who made the medicine really spent a lot of money. If you want to check, it can be found in various medicinal shops.
If you look up the accounts, you will know when and what day someone bought a large amount of saffron. If he really has the ability to bring it from other places, then he is too shrewd." The imperial doctor said this to Lan Qi, and even said that Lord Aling'a had already sent someone.
Go check it out and just wait for the results.
But Lan Qi didn't pay much attention to these words. What made her frown was the word "Xianfu Palace". After hearing the imperial doctor say that the saffron used in the palace this year was limited, she asked: "Do you mean that although this Laba porridge comes from Xianfu Palace?"
The medicine was rewarded to the palace, but it was not the medicine given by the imperial concubine?"
The imperial doctor said: "I can't guarantee whether the imperial concubine is related to this matter, but it is really impossible for someone who lives deep in the harem to get so much saffron. To put it bluntly, I won't help the imperial concubine pass it around.
Where can I get these things?"
This is indeed the truth. After the imperial doctor left, Mrs. Wu Ya told her daughter that her son-in-law came to apologize to her and her husband in person, saying that he had not taken good care of Ying'er. She also said that although the Laba porridge was given by the imperial concubine, if the imperial concubine needed to deliver it in the palace,
What, it has always been handled by her family, who has never sent her a large amount of saffron. It is almost impossible for her to get these things in Xianfu Palace and then send them out. Now she has been looking around the capital to see if anyone in pharmacies and hospitals buys saffron in large quantities.
The truth must come to light and Lan Ying should be given an explanation.
"Aling'a is trying her best, but what's the use? If Ying'er can't have another child in this life, her life in Niu Hulu's house will definitely be harder than it is now. Aling'a is older than her, if she takes the first step in the future,
How can she gain a foothold in Niu Hulu's family when she has no children?" Lan Qi frowned, deeply worried, "At that time, I didn't even know if I was there or not, who would protect her."
As this matter went round and round, Lan Qi could not help but resent Xuan Ye again for choosing this marriage for her sister. Although she knew that it was unreasonable to think so, the matter could not be solved, and she could not see the future. People will always be entangled in the past.
Don't let go.
Xuan Ye knew about Lan Qi's temper. Although it was just a minor matter at the minister's house, the emperor's wife and concubine had a miscarriage, and the emperor should not have interfered with it, but because it concerned Lan Qi, he still made some inquiries. When he came to Yonghe Palace that day, Concubine De was still there.
Before returning from Cining Palace, Xuan Ye entertained his children. When Lan Qi came back, he saw Xuan Ye dipping something in his tea cup for the princess to taste. No one around him said anything. Lan Qi hurriedly came in to stop her:
"Your Majesty, what do you feed your daughter?"
Originally, the two children were fine, but they were frightened by E Niang's exclamation. One after another started crying, causing a splitting headache. Xuan Ye blamed her: "I was very well-behaved and quiet with them, but you are back."
That’s why.”
Lan Qi saw that there was only a bowl of water in Xuan Ye's cup, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and blamed Xuan Ye: "The emperor deliberately frightened my concubine? You know that my concubine has come in, right?"
"I'm just teasing you. Quickly change your clothes. It's hot in the room. I'm sweating after wearing so many clothes."
He picked up the discounts and sent them away casually. When Lan Qi came back after changing her clothes, they were already packed here.
Xuan Ye said: "Today your sister was sent back to her parents' home to recuperate. It was Aling'a's wish. I shouldn't care about these things, but I wanted to tell you when I heard about it."
"Before, the Empress Dowager said that it would be better for her to go back to her parents' home to have the baby. I even joked that the couple couldn't be separated. If I listened to what the Empress Dowager said, this probably wouldn't be the case." Lan Qi couldn't help feeling resentful as she said,
Wei Xuan Ye said, "If the emperor didn't ask for marriage, how could Ying'er suffer this crime?"
The emperor didn't care, but it was just a sentence. He had something serious to say at the moment, "I was worried that you would impulsively go to trouble the imperial concubine. After two days of waiting, there was a lot of gossip in the palace, but there was no movement from your side."
"I am in Cining Palace every day. How can the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager not calm down even though they are listening to so many principles?" Lan Qi took the tea sent by Huan Chun and drank most of the bowl in one go before continuing, "Aling
Ah Ye asked E Niang to bring some words in. I know that the concubine is not capable of getting so much saffron, but the emperor should not think that I don’t care about it. What if she is related to the concubine? She can pretend to be someone else.
It’s not like there is only one Aling’a in Niu Hulu’s family.”
Xuan Ye smiled and said: "Aling'a and his brother Faqasu are not getting along quickly. This is something everyone knows. Faqasu's Fujin and Aling'a's first wife are cousins. There is another layer here.
Interest relationship."
When Lan Qi heard what Xuan Ye said so eloquently, she suddenly felt guilty and advised him: "Your Majesty, please don't worry about this matter for me. This is really not worth your attention. I was just being pretentious. Don't take it seriously."
.Although Ying'er has suffered a lot, it can be seen that Aling'a is very dedicated to her. This is the matter of the couple. Be cruel. If Ying'er doesn't take care of herself, no one else can blame her."
"Although I shouldn't interfere in the ministers' family affairs, I must understand them so that I can find contradictions to control the rights of all parties. In the past, Mingzhu and Nalan Rongruo were not in harmony, but in the Niu Hulu family, these two brothers were fighting like cocks.
, is my handle." Xuan Ye leaned down leisurely, stretched his muscles and said slowly, "I don't know if this matter is involved here, or if it has something to do with the imperial concubine, but I think you should do something.
thing."
"Could it be that your Majesty..." Lan Qi guessed what might be going on. She felt very uncomfortable and turned away, "It would be best not to have anything to do with her."
Xuan Ye took her hand and said: "I know this is very selfish, but you have to understand that this is the Niu Hulu family's family matter after all, and I don't want to see who wins or loses between the two brothers, so they can continue to compete like this forever.
Okay. Just like Mingzhu, after Rong Ruo died, I was confused for a while about how to handle the relationship between monarch and minister."
Lan Qi understood that she could not go against the emperor's decision. Since she was destined to have no choice but to fight for the final justice for her sister, she said to Xuan Ye: "How to deal with this matter in the end? I listen to the emperor, but the emperor also promised me
One thing.”
"you say."
Lan Qi said solemnly: "Lan Ying will live in Niu Hulu's house for the rest of her life. We cannot let her see things unclearly, and she may be poisoned in the future. Therefore, this matter must be investigated to the end, and I must let my concubine and
Lan Ying knows who did it, even if you don’t want to pursue it if it’s the imperial concubine, at least let us sisters know.”
"I will give you an explanation, but we cannot destroy the balance of their family because of Lan Ying's incident. What I want are courtiers who can be controlled. They must have weaknesses in front of me." Xuan Ye was equally serious,
But promised Lan Qi, "If it is related to the imperial concubine, I will give you an explanation and will not tolerate it easily."
