Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 117 Love Between Husband and Wife (1)
The fire lingered, a bright orange-red color.

Xianhui fled forward desperately, "Help, help...", shouted loudly, but no one answered, looked around, but couldn't see anything clearly in the firelight, and couldn't find anyone.Keep running, keep running, finally ran to an exit, just about to rush downstairs full of joy, suddenly stopped.

Gao Chen was wearing a bright yellow embroidered dragon robe, standing at the stairs, looking up coldly.

Xian Hui happily said: "Gao Chen, save me..." Immediately afterwards, "Bang Dang!", a burning giant fell down and landed in front of her, blocking her way.She couldn't help panicking, and said anxiously: "Gao Chen, save me quickly!"

Gao Chen was indifferent, beside him, a group of guards rushed up, each carrying a wooden barrel, looking at Xianhui with unfriendly eyes, like a pack of hunting wolves.

Xian Hui felt that the surroundings were extremely hot, and shouted in torment: "Gao Chen, I feel so uncomfortable!"

The next moment, Gao Chen ordered with a cold face, "Pour oil! Burn her to death..."

"Ah!" Xianhui woke up suddenly, sweating coldly.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Gao Chen sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and brushed the wet hair on her forehead, and asked with concern, "What did you dream about? It scared you like this."

Xian Hui pushed away his hand and turned away.

"Xianhui?" Gao Chen was afraid that she was still in the dream, so he turned her face away, "Look at me and say something. What did you dream about just now?"

Xianhui looked at him firmly, and said mockingly, "I dreamed that you were going to burn me to death."

Gao Chen was taken aback, - it seemed that he had hurt her so deeply before that he had a shadow in his heart.

"Don't think about it, it's just a dream." He leaned over and said in a soft tone: "I said, the incident at the inn was done by Concubine Wan and the King of Chu, and the fire was just to cover up people's eyes and ears. As for Ning Yuyao, don't worry, I will definitely arrange..."

"Your Majesty." The imperial eunuch Li Deqing called out, "I have something to report."

Gao Chen didn't go out in a hurry, but tucked up the quilt for Xianhui, then got up and said: "It's good to lie down, I will go back when I go." Then he went to the side hall and asked: "What's the matter?"

"A court lady from Ning Guiren's Palace went to Yici Palace, not to meet the Queen Mother, but to meet up with a nanny in the small kitchen. Not long after that, someone brought food to Concubine Wan." Li Deqing hesitated Said: "Your Majesty, do you want to inquire about Concubine Wan..."

"No need." Gao Chen sneered in his heart, sooner or later they will die, they are jumping around, and he will let them die more justifiably!He just said in a cold voice, "Keep staring." He turned around and entered the inner hall, and saw that Xian Hui had closed his eyes again, not sure if it was real sleep or fake sleep, but obviously he didn't want to talk to himself.

On the beautifully stacked aster flower pillow, Xian Hui lay quietly, her face as white as thin white porcelain.

Gao Chen wanted to touch her face, but he was worried that she would resist, so he held her hand instead, and said softly: "The imperial doctor said that you used to think too much, and your spleen and kidney were affected. It's fine, take it easy. I won't have nightmares anymore." Then he tucked her in the quilt, went out and asked Li Nanny to take care of her, and drove away from Fengyi Palace.

When they arrived at the upper study room, Gao Chen ordered, "Tell Ning Yuxi."

A while later, Ning Yuxi rushed to the upper study room to ask for an interview.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Yuyao fell into the lake while swimming?"

"En." Gao Chen said lightly, "Don't worry, your life is safe."

Ning Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that the atmosphere was not right, and the emperor's expression was very dignified and unusual.As an older brother, he definitely wouldn't suspect his younger sister immediately, but instead asked, "Is there something wrong with Yuyao falling into the water?"

Gao Chen pondered for a while, "Ning Guiren fell into the water for some reason, you will find out once you visit her in the inner palace." Then he wrote the words "Wan Taifei" on the table with tea, "Ask her again this."

Ning Yuxi was terrified, judging by the emperor's expression, it didn't look like someone framed her sister, but it seemed that something was wrong with her sister!Not daring to hesitate, he hurriedly asked the palace servants to lead him to Shunzhen Palace.

"Brother..." Ning Yuyao said in surprise.

The palace people got the emperor's order, and they all retreated in unison.

Ning Yuxi said sternly: "How did you fall into the water?"

"I..." Ning Yuyao got up late.

"You still don't say?" Ning Yuxi was born as a counselor after all, and he was very accurate in deceit. He snorted coldly: "The emperor is already going to ask me about my crime. He asked me to ask you. Concubine Wan, what do you want to do?" How to explain?!"

Ning Yuyao turned pale with fright, muttered to herself, and said everything.

Starting from her admiration for Gao Chen every day, and when Xian Hui came back, she was reluctant to leave and deliberately released fake rumors about Shou Gongsha.Then he deliberately fell into the water and made up a story about Gao Chen and himself getting drunk all night, hoping to make Xianhui and Gao Chen quarrel, but unexpectedly, Gao Chen had already been eavesdropping behind the screen, and all his whereabouts were revealed.

As for Concubine Wan, she stammered with a pale face: "I...I just told her that the emperor has always liked the concubine, and I am just a cover-up, and I will be kicked out of the palace soon."

"Crack!" Ning Yuxi slapped her sister hard, "Are you crazy?!"

"Brother..." Ning Yuyao covered her face aggrievedly, and burst into tears, "I'm not crazy! I just hate the emperor, I just love him, and I didn't do anything harmful, why not? I just want to stay with the emperor ..."

"Confused!" Ning Yuxi reprimanded: "If the emperor is willing, of course you can stay by his side, and my brother also hopes that you will be prosperous and rich. But the emperor has no intentions, and you are even looking for your own death. Not only did you intentionally slander the emperor, You lied to the concubine, and you dare to collude with Concubine Wan!" He was so angry, "You... do you think your life is too long?"

"The emperor...is he going to kill me?" Ning Yuyao screamed in fright, "No, no, no!" She stepped back again and again, "I have made a lot of contributions. Regardless of the innocent reputation of the girl's family, she has been a fake concubine for a year."

Ning Yuxi knew that Gao Chen had no intention of killing, if so, just say that her sister drowned.

But he had to keep a straight face and scare his sister, so that she would not cause other troubles stupidly, so he said coldly: "You only see the emperor is young and handsome, and he is capable, so you are obsessed with him wholeheartedly. But don't think about it, he How many people have been killed on the battlefield? How much blood is on his hands? How could he pity you?!"

"As for Nuanyu Wenxiang, do you think there will be a shortage of beauties around the emperor? Just like you, if you want a thousand or ten thousand, they will come at your fingertips! You are just dreaming that kind of dream in a daze, but you still do it Something stupid!"

One sound, one sentence, the sister scolded so much that she couldn't lift her head.

"I'll tell you." Ning Yuxi said with sharp eyes, "If it wasn't for my brother begging hard just now, and talking about all the little credits in the past, in exchange for the emperor's nostalgia, your life would have been lost long ago!"

"No..." Ning Yuyao sat softly on the ground.

Ning Yuxi threatened her sister again, and then left, went to the study room again, and first told the content of the letter that her sister sent to Concubine Wan.He knew in his heart that if he couldn't ask, his sister would be tortured by the people from the Punishment Department.

Gao Chen nodded lightly, "Okay, I understand."

Ning Yuxi kowtowed deeply three times, and said with guilt on her face: "Your Majesty, Yuyao was young and ignorant and confused, she did something wrong, and I will confess to the Emperor on behalf of my sister." , forgive Yuyao."

"That's all." Gao Chen wanted to give Ning Yuxi a bit of a slap in the face, and said, "Although Mrs. Ning Gui made a mistake, it was considered meritorious for her hard work before. I will not punish her if I pay off the merit." , "But it's inevitable that there will be troubles in the palace, and she can no longer stay. It is better for everyone to send her away early."

Ning Yuxi replied: "Arrangement for Yuyao, my minister has a way." Then he stepped forward and whispered a few words.

Gao Chen's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand to signal him to be quiet and not to speak.After thinking about it carefully, thinking more and more deeply, I soon came up with an idea, "This way..."

The news that Ning Yuyao accidentally fell into the water spread quickly.

According to the imperial physician's diagnosis, Ning Gui was frightened by falling into the water, and his illness was quite serious, which probably meant that he could not recover for the time being.Gao Chen went to visit a few times, and became furious, scolding the people in the Tai Hospital severely.

When the news reached Yici Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help sighing, "I know, there will be no days of peace in the future."

Princess Wuyang happened to enter the palace to greet her, and she was talking with her mother at the moment, after thinking for a while, "As the saying goes, two tigers can't fit in one mountain, Xianhui is back, and there will inevitably be some conflicts with Ning Yuyao." She then persuaded, "This is all their young people's business. , don't worry about it, queen mother, let them do whatever they want."

Unexpectedly, Ning Yuyao's illness developed urgently and quickly, and within three to five days, the decoction and medicine were ineffective, and the water and rice could not enter.After another two days of torment, he finally died.

When the news spread, everyone was extremely surprised.

The Empress Dowager Zhou chanted a few times, then shook her head and said, "You are so young, how could you... lose your life in vain like this?"

When Ning Yuyao was "favored" before, she had always been filial in front of her mother-in-law, because she had a guilty conscience, was more docile and obedient than Xianhui, and she was small and attentive, so she was quite favored by the Queen Mother Zhou.It's just that considering the difference between the concubine and the concubine, she has always held her hand towards Xianhui, and didn't give Ning Yuyao much face.

But right now, the Queen Mother Zhou suspects that Xianhui and Gao Chen have lied to her together, so she can't help feeling a little cold.

Gao Chen, who was born on the sidelines, would not come over to explain.

how to explain?Could it be that he had planned to force the palace to rebel, so he found Ning Yuyao, and then left Xianhui in anger?There are too many right and wrong involved in this, and it is tearing faces.

Some things can only be felt but not expressed in words.

For example, now, on the surface, it is Gao Chen who went to Fujian to win a battle. good story.And tearing his face, Gao Chen forced his father and elder brother to back down and conspired to usurp the throne.

Therefore, even though everyone knew that Gao Chen had already arranged to force the palace, and Xianhui was sent away on purpose, but no one revealed the truth to avoid embarrassment.

Now, Ning Yuyao's "death", Gao Chen will naturally not come to explain to the Queen Mother.

"Hey..." The Empress Dowager Zhou sighed, "Your Majesty, he was bewitched because of Xianhui."

Princess Wuyang was also surprised, "I didn't see that the emperor is still a seed of infatuation."

Unexpectedly, another shocking news will come out soon!
Rumors spread from Shunzhen Palace that Ning Gui died suddenly because she was infected with the human epidemic.

This autumn, a large-scale epidemic began to spread in the south, and many people died. It was miserable.Recently, some people in the capital also began to get sick, with fever and rash, and then the high fever persisted and died.

After hearing the news, the Empress Dowager Zhou turned pale with shock, "What do you mean?" He hurriedly called the imperial doctor to ask, "I heard that Mrs. Ning Gui died of the epidemic?"

"Yes." The imperial physician replied: "The emperor ordered not to make any noise, lest everyone panic."

"The concubine also had a fever before, could it be..."

"The concubine is not infected with the epidemic, her fever has subsided, and she should be fine now."

The Empress Dowager Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he complained a little to Xianhui, he didn't expect her to die.Besides, if Xianhui is also affected by the epidemic, it can only mean that the scope of the infection in the palace is even wider!Rather than worrying about his daughters-in-law, he was more worried about the spread of the epidemic. "I heard it's easy to get infected."

"It is contagious." The imperial physician replied: "So the emperor ordered everyone to start spraying the potion this afternoon to prevent the epidemic, and pay more attention to diet and daily life. It should have a preventive effect."

In the afternoon, Princess Wuyang got the news and entered the palace.

She looked worried, and sighed: "Hey, originally my daughter wanted to go to the palace to avoid it, but I didn't expect that there was a epidemic in the palace first." Frowning, "This...how can I hide."

In another part of Yici Palace, Concubine Wan was even more frowning, angry and worried!
Originally, according to Ning Yuyao's intention, she was just a stand-in, and when the master came back, she would be sent away by Gao Chen soon.In this way, as soon as the news of her "death" comes out, rumors can be created - saying that Ning Guiren was forced to death by the future empress Shao Xianhui!
First, the queen's court clothes were destroyed, and then the concubines in the palace were killed. Coupled with Ning Yuyao's miscarriage, Xian Hui was also a little suspicious, which naturally hindered her road to queen.At that time, it is enough for Xian Hui to drink a pot of impeachment by the courtiers saying that the future queen is immoral.

The Emperor Biansheng thought of a coup, saying that Ning Yuyao died of the epidemic, and picked up all the Xianhui.

"Bah!" Concubine Wan was so angry that her liver ached, "Hu Meizi, you have coaxed men to plan everything for her!" What is so special about her, Shao Xianhui?Isn't it just good-looking, a bit more beautiful than others?This idiot Gao Chen has already become the emperor, so there will be fewer beauties in the future?He was fascinated by it.

Wait, it can't really be the epidemic, right?That's weird.

No, no!I didn't see that Shao Xianhui had a fever, is he still alive and well?Ning Yuyao's death from the epidemic must have been caused by the emperor secretly. For his sharp heart, he really can think of any way.

"Epidemic?" Xianhui is not as sure as Concubine Wan, because she clearly knows that there was a large-scale epidemic in Xianzhi Town in her previous life. As for the capital city... it is hard to say that it will not be slowly spread and infected. Epidemic.

After Gao Chen finished his work in the study, he came to comfort her, "It's okay, it's just a trick to show others how to deal with Ning Gui." Returning it to the Ning family can be regarded as ending a bad relationship.

"Is it really not the epidemic?" Xianhui still had a sense of unreality.

"No, really not."

Xian Hui felt relieved, and then looked at Gao Chen with flickering eyes. He really...just let Ning Yuyao "die" and sent her away.Even if I doubt him because of resentment, I can no longer doubt him.

Maybe, although his methods are a little unacceptable, they are indeed for his own purposes.

It's just that the current self is surrounded by resentment and anger, as if there is a hard shell all over her body, and she doesn't know how to get out.And the heart is also completely cold, icy cold, no matter whether it is love or hate, I can't feel it.No matter what the reason for Gao Chen's injury was... it was all injury.

Gao Chen could see that her expression had slightly softened, which was a good start.But he was not in a hurry to force her to do anything, just acted calmly and said: "In the afternoon, the imperial doctor will bring medicine for everyone to spray. Although Mrs. Ninggui's epidemic is fake, there are indeed people in the capital who have it. Just take precautions."

"Someone really got the epidemic?" Xianhui asked in surprise.

Gao Chen felt that her reaction was a bit allergic, so he smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, it didn't spread to the palace."

Xianhui couldn't let it go.

In the previous life, Lu Jian died, sister Qin died, and the neighbors around her died countless times, which left a great shadow in her heart.Unexpectedly, some people in the capital were actually infected with the epidemic!I remember the epidemic in Jiangdu in the previous life, which lasted for half a year. I don't know how long it will last in the capital?God, I can't rest assured in the days to come.

"Okay, it's okay." Gao Chen still comforted her.

He said it was all right, but there was something wrong, Concubine Wan started to have a fever within a few days.

"No!" Concubine Wan struggled and refused to take the medicine, "I'm not sick! Someone is trying to harm me!" She was in a panic. One was worried that she really had the epidemic, and the other was that Gao Chen asked her to follow her. Ning Yuyao is going to die, no matter what, she can't afford to drink that bowl of black concoction!
In her opinion, it was simply a bowl of poison.

"Kang Dang!" Concubine Wan smashed the medicine bowl in anger, "Get out! Get out!"

But she was alone in the hall, and after staying for a while, she became more and more frightened. "Come here!" She screamed, "Quickly tell the king of Chu to enter the palace! I want to see him!"
