Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 54
"The Empress Dowager is here!"

Suddenly, the eunuch's shrill announcement sounded outside.

In the main hall of Lanyue Palace, rows of servant girls came out of Concubine Ning's bedroom carrying hot water basins full of blood. All the concubines felt uncomfortable smelling the bloody smell, and covered their mouths with scented handkerchiefs.

On the other side, they looked curiously into Concubine Ning's bedroom.

Lvxiang touched her tears, and said to the queen mother worriedly: "The queen mother, the concubine Ning is lying in the palace now, when the slaves came out, the mother was still unconscious, and I don't know how she is now... you still Go in and have a look!"

The queen mother glanced at her, trying not to show an impatient look on her face.

This Concubine Ning would really cause trouble for her, but she chose to do it when she was going to hold a lotus banquet for Zhao Kehan!
On the surface, she still said with a serious expression: "The Queen, Concubine Hua, Concubine Chen and Aijia went in to see Concubine Ning, and the rest of them sat in the hall. If they feel bored, they can go back first."

At this moment, the sun outside had completely come out, and no one would stop the concubines if they wanted to go back.

It's just that Concubine Ning is a topic of conversation in the palace, and I don't know how many concubines follow her. Now that she has an accident, these people have no time to inquire about gossip, how could they leave?
Not long after, these people sat down in the main hall of Lanyue Palace. Before Lvxiang ordered the maidservants to show them tea, they picked up the tea cups and started drinking.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager looked away from them, walked into Concubine Ning's bedroom while holding Nanny Chen's hand.

In the huge bedroom, the windows and doors were closed, and the smell of blood permeated the air. Concubine Ning's sick bed was completely stained red with the blood of her lower body!

The blood was so glaring that the Empress Dowager only glanced at it and then moved her eyes away, she just rubbed her brows and called out hastily: "Oh, Ai's eyes are really unbearable to be stimulated!"

Shang Kelan stood at the back of the crowd, secretly looking at Concubine Ning's bedroom.

In addition to a strong smell of blood, there was also a faint smell of medicine in the air. This smell of medicine seemed to have been deliberately diluted, so it became very light.

Lv Xiang hurriedly walked to the sick bed, held Concubine Ning's hand, and called out in a voice that sounded like she was about to cry: "My Lady, the Empress Dowager and Empress Empress are here to see you, please wake up!"

The pale Concubine Ning closed her eyes tightly, lying on the bed, motionless, she seemed to have fallen into a deep coma and could not hear a single sound outside.

At this time, Li Chenxiu, who was kneeling beside him, respectfully said: "Please forgive me, Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning just had a miscarriage, her body was bleeding profusely, and now she is weak, so she fell into a coma. "

Immediately, all eyes turned to him.

The queen mother didn't even look at him, turned around and walked into the main hall, saying: "Since Concubine Ning is unconscious, the Ai family can't ask anything from her, so you follow Ai's family to the main hall, Ai's family I have something to ask you."

"Yes, Empress Dowager!"

As soon as the voice fell, the queen mother walked in front, and everyone and Li Chenxiu followed behind.

Shang Kelan has good hearing. Although the queen mother's voice was extremely low, she could still hear the queen mother's muttering clearly: "It's no wonder if you don't get sick living in such a stuffy room. I don't know how Concubine Ning conceived a child. Aijia Back then when I was pregnant with the old man, it was fine to fight with the old man, this Concubine Ning was born in the palace and raised, she can make mistakes, she is really delicate and weak!"

Hearing what the queen mother said, Shang Kelan was in a heavy heart, but couldn't help feeling a little funny. Although the queen mother didn't like herself very much, what she said made her feel very cute.

In the main hall, the empress dowager sat on the main seat, Zhao Kehan ​​stood beside her, and the empress sat on the left side of the empress dowager.

Shang Kelan and Concubine Hua sat in the first and second positions on the right.

Li Chenxiu stood in the center of the hall, and Lvxiang, as the maid in charge, stood aside and ordered someone to bring tea and water to the ladies.

After everyone was ready, the Queen Mother looked at Li Taiyi and said, "Tell me, how did Concubine Ning have a miscarriage?"

Li Chenxiu lowered his head respectfully, and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, during the three days of heavy rain, Concubine Ning has had nightmares again and again, and she couldn't eat. When the result came out, I recommended myself to diagnose Concubine Ning, but I didn't expect that I couldn't diagnose the cause of Concubine Ning's miscarriage, please forgive me for my incompetence!"

After hearing this, Concubine Hua said suspiciously, "Oh, that's not right. I saw Concubine Ning before the heavy rain, and felt that Concubine Ning was weaker, but she was in good spirits. She didn't seem to be dying. Look, but just now I looked at Sister Concubine Ning, and felt that Sister Ning Concubine seemed bewitched!"

The queen mother is old, and she can't hear words like "bewitched" the most.

She immediately glared at Concubine Hua: "Don't talk nonsense, don't you know how taboo witchcraft is in the palace? Besides, Concubine Ning's miscarriage problem, Imperial Physician Li also said that she didn't find out the reason. You are jumping to conclusions here, what are you making a fuss about?"

Concubine Hua stirred her handkerchief unwillingly and said, "The concubine is just guessing! Besides, the concubine's hometown is in Yangzhou, and she once saw a wizard from the West with her own eyes. , Mrs. Hong had an inexplicable miscarriage, and a few days before the miscarriage, she also had nightmares again and again, and couldn't eat."

"But I asked the doctor to come to see him, but like Doctor Li, he couldn't find anything. Yuan Hong's family had no choice but to invite the wizard to their house to do a ritual. After a series of strange things happened, the Mrs. Hong was cured! And in the second year, Mrs. Hong became pregnant smoothly, and nothing strange happened to Yuan Hong's family since then!"

After speaking, Concubine Hua sighed again, and said: "Empress Dowager, the concubine didn't believe it at first, but this kind of supernatural thing happened to the concubine before, and the concubine felt it too!"

Seeing that Concubine Hua was telling the truth, the Queen Mother couldn't help showing a bit of suspicion on her face.

Shang Kelan listened quietly at the side, and slowly took a sip of the warm tea while removing the foam from the tea lid.

The rest of the concubines seemed to be very interested in Concubine Hua's topic, so Jia Zhaoyi couldn't help asking: "Sister Hua Concubine, the Hong Yuanwai you mentioned is Hong Jiaxing, a wealthy businessman from Yangzhou?"

Concubine Hua looked at her in surprise: "How do you know? That's right, the Hong Yuanwai I mentioned is Hong Jiaxing."

Seeing Concubine Hua's affirmation of her words, Jia Zhaoyi looked clear and said, "Hey, my sister also knows about this. When my sister was passing through Yangzhou with her father, she heard that something strange happened to Mr. Hong's family."

"In broad daylight, there are actually bats, snakes, rats and ants crawling into the house, especially Madam Hong's room, tsk tsk, the beams of the house were almost eaten away by termites, and the house almost collapsed and wiped out Hong's house." Madam was crushed to death!"

When the other concubines heard this, they couldn't help but widen their eyes:

"And what about this?"

"This is really a strange thing. I was 13 years old and I have an impression of that!"
"It turned out to be Yuanwai Hong. Fortunately, there was that wizard in his family back then!"

Seeing that these concubines were surprised after hearing what Concubine Hua and Jia Zhaoyi said, some of them understood, the Queen Mother was even more surprised: "Why do you all know about this?"
