When Banxia was taken down, Baihui had already inquired about the location of Magnolia grandiflora. It was in the northwest corner of the back garden of Bixiao hall. There was a small pine forest and several Magnolia grandiflora were planted beside it. Because the location was remote and the pine forest was dark, even the maid of Bixiao Hall didn't like to go there.
Two servant girls accompany Nangong Yue back to Bixiao hall. Baihui leads the way in front of him, and arrives soon.
In winter, seven or eight Magnolia grandiflora trees stood there. Compared with other flowers and trees in the palace, their branches and leaves were obviously not so green, and they looked a little somber.
It's not only Magnolia grandiflora, but also this small pine forest is not very good. When Nangong Yue first arrived at Bixiao hall, he felt a little strange. He thought it was the people who didn't take good care of it. Now it seems that there is a reason.
The woman in charge of flowers and trees was also called. She didn't know what was going on. She was a little nervous.
"Mrs. Hu." Baihui asked, "these Magnolia grandiflora don't seem to grow very well."
Mrs. Hu was startled. No matter what kind of pine forest was planted, it would not grow well, even if it was carefully taken care of. Fortunately, no one came here and no one investigated her "dereliction of duty". After a long time, Mrs. Hu did not care. I didn't expect that the imperial concubine had come in person!
She was so scared that she said in a trembling voice, "Princess Mingcha, the maid has done her best, but, but..." She raised her head carefully and looked at the princess. Without waiting for Baihui to ask, she followed closely and said, "I heard that a Magnolia grandiflora had withered and died a dozen years ago. Since then, the flowers and trees in the small pine forest have become like this."
Mrs. Hu was afraid that the imperial concubine felt that she was shirking responsibility, but the truth was like this!
She waited in terror until Baihui asked, "where did that dead Magnolia grow?"
"There it is." Mrs. Hu raised her finger and pointed to a direction, "I heard that after the death of Magnolia grandiflora, replanting several times did not feed, so I simply left the ground empty." After she took over the flowers and trees, she followed the old pattern and did not plant them again.
Baihui looked at nangongyue's expression and said tentatively: "shizifei, do you want to..."
"Dig." Nangong Yue's face was as heavy as water and gave a word.
Baihui takes orders with her knees bent.
She asked Mrs. Hu to take the shovel and dig it herself.
Dig three feet!
Nangong Yue stood there, she would not avoid, but to witness everything with her own eyes.
After a while, Baihui's shovel digging stopped, and thrush found a piece of coarse cloth. Then, Baihui dug all the "things" onto the coarse cloth and presented it to nangongyue.
After many years, the dregs of medicine have almost been mixed with the mud. If they didn't come here purposefully, I'm afraid it would be hard to think of them. These are drug residues. Fortunately, there were a lot of medicinal residues in those years, and the land had not been planted with flowers and trees for many years, so the evidence still remained.
Nangongyue picked up some mud and put it under his nose to smell it. Unfortunately, it was a long time ago, and the residue had already changed its smell. It was necessary to use a different method to identify the specific components of these residues.
"Take it back first," she ordered
Baihui answered and carefully wrapped up the residue.
Although she didn't understand what happened, she still realized that there was something terrible in the mud. She was so scared that she didn't dare to move. Nangong Yue gave her a light glance, and she fell to her knees with a "plop".
Thrush left for the moment, Nangong Yue went back with Baihui first.
Instead of going back to her room, she went to the pharmacy.
Nangong Yue opened several small ceramic bowls, personally divided the medicine residue into several parts and put them one by one. Then he asked Baihui to take some water and carefully poured it into the bowl.
First, he patiently washed away some of the sludge, and then he put the residues in the ceramic utensils and cooked them slowly with different heat
All of them, Nangong Yue did not fake others' hands.
As time went by, the setting sun set and the sky outside became dark. Until a pale moon appeared in the eastern sky, the door of the pharmacy was opened again. Nangong Yue came out of the room with a dignified face.
After all, it has been nearly 19 years. After all, she has tried every means to determine the 70% or 80% of the medicinal materials contained in the residue. However, it is enough to confirm that this is a chronic medicine, which can cause pregnant women to slide their fetus and lead to two deaths
I don't know whether it was the health of the first princess or the luck of Yi. She finally survived to the day of birth, but she still couldn't escape the catastrophe of blood letting and dystocia
Nangong Yue felt a spasm of pain in his heart and almost couldn't breathe.
The net of heaven is great, but it is careless.
After 19 years, she can still find clues, which means that evil will be rewarded with evil!
She looked up at the silver moon in the night and took a deep breath. When her mood calmed down, she walked back to her room.
The thrush was waiting. Seeing her, she immediately came forward and said, "princess, the maid has already knocked the old lady Hu. She doesn't dare to talk."Nangong Yue slightly jaw head, while listening to thrush report afternoon palace trivia, while walking to the house.
The silver reward for all the people in the palace has been handed out. The people are very happy because they have added a month's extra money. Especially after hearing that there will be another red letter for the new year, they work hard.
Although there are many trivial things about the new year's Eve in this Nuo Da Zhennan palace, they are all set in the past year. In the first year, Nangong Yue didn't want to change the old rules, so things like rewards, ritual lists, banquets, ancestor worship and so on, could be clearly seen through the accounts of previous years. Although Nangong Yue followed the old rules, he saved nearly a third of his money than in previous years.
It is obvious where the money of the past year has gone.
When Nangong Yue went to invite the king of Zhennan with his account book, he was praised by him. He only said that the imperial concubine was virtuous, capable and thrifty. Therefore, even if Mrs. Qiao came two or three times later, he would not mention letting her come to help Nangong Yue.
After Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni had worked out the list of gifts, cars of festival gifts were sent out from the Zhennan palace. At the same time, more festival gifts were sent to the palace, some from the dignified steward's mother, and some from the door.
This year, in particular, coincided with the riots in Nanliang. Many of the residences in Luoyue city were accompanied by their children.
For these mansions, if his wife came to visit, Nangong Yue would see them according to the situation.
Like Tian family, Yao family, Hua family wait.
And, of course, Chang's.
It's a pity that the old Wang's family, who died in Jiangzhong, did not follow the old people.
The old lady of the Chang family used to be a tough master. Seeing this, she made a decision and directly sent Chang Huaixi, who had a good or bad view of the third generation of children and grandchildren, to yandingcheng. She thought how much she could scrape military achievements and get a future.
However, Chang Huaixi was also a spoiled child. Although Chang's family sent him out, they were afraid that he would annoy the son of the world.
After waiting for half a year, Mrs. Chang took advantage of the opportunity to send gifts to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue also met Chang Huaixi when he was in yandingcheng. Hearing that Madame Chang was coming, she told her maid to take people to the small flower hall.
Baihui put on a moon brocade inlaid cloak for her and moved away.
As soon as I entered the small flower hall, I saw a pair of mother and daughter with four or five similar looks sitting on a mahogany ring chair. Mrs. Chang seems to be in her forties, wearing a purple blue silk embroidered eight ball flower mound; Chang San girl is about 14 or 15 years old, wearing a scallion green plate gold embroidered cotton loaf. She looks young and beautiful, and is similar to Chang Wu's son in three or four points 。
Seeing Nangong Yue coming, the mother and daughter quickly stood up to salute: "I've seen the princess."
"No gift." Nangong Yue said with a smile and sat down on the top of a chair.
After the three saw the ceremony, Mrs. Chang introduced her daughter: "princess, this is the third daughter of my concubine. Her maiden name is Huanwei. Sister Wei, give me a gift to the princess. "
Chang Huanwei walks forward and bows again.
Nangong Yue looked at Chang Huanwei, politely praised her, such as "smart, agile, dignified and virtuous" and so on. He took off the gold and white jade bracelet between his wrists and gave it to the other party. He asked, "what does Chang San like to do on weekdays?"
"Wei'er thanks the princess." Chang Huanwei bowed her knees to thank him and said, "Wei'er likes playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays, and does needlework."
Although Xiaoyue's two brothers and sisters are not the same as their father and sister, they are not the same as their parents.
Madame Chang glanced at the gold and white jade bracelet without trace. She saw that it was the best white marble, and her look was even more joyful.
I heard that Princess Shizi had just returned from yandingcheng. Look at her attitude, xige'er was obviously taken seriously by shiziye! What a blessing! She can't help but be glad that when her mother-in-law asked xige'er to go to the battlefield, she didn't stop her Well, in fact, she wanted to make a scene, but her mother-in-law said that in the future, the Chang family would be inherited by the eldest son. Now, the Chang family does not have much friendship with his son-in-law. It is hard to say whether other children and grandchildren are good or bad.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Chang finally let Chang Huaixi go.
In the past half a year, she has hardly had a day's sleep
I have to tell my mother-in-law and master the good news after I go back today!
Thinking about it, Mrs. Chang was very happy in her heart. Then her daughter's words said, "princess, my daughter's temperament is boring. I also said that she is a child's family. She should go out to play more, but she likes to drill into those zither, chess, calligraphy and painting." Mrs. Chang said these words, of course, to help her daughter to please Nangong Yue. No one in Luoyue city did not know that Princess Shizi and Miss Xiao were rare talented women.Mrs. Chang went on: "princess, my daughter's favorite is still Qin. I've heard that Miss Xiao has outstanding Qin skills for a long time. I wonder if you can give me some advice on her?"
Madame Chang looked at Nangong Yue with all her eyes full of hope, but this time, she was disappointed.
"Madam Chang, it's not a coincidence. My sister Fei and her sister went out to see the paintings. " Nangong Yue Road.
"That's not a coincidence." Mrs. Chang is a little disappointed. She wanted to take this opportunity to make her daughter more intimate with Xiao Fei, and then she can often see the princess But don't worry, there's always a chance. When the prince returns home, the palace will hold a celebration banquet. There are plenty of opportunities!
Thinking about it, Mrs. Chang's heart is settled.
Nangong Yue laughed and was about to open his mouth, but he saw that thrush came in in in a hurry. Looking at her anxious face, he knew that something must have happened.
"My son's concubine..." After the thrush saluted quickly, he whispered a few words in Nangong Yue's ear.
Nangong Yue's mild and warm face changed instantly.
Even if Mrs. Chang didn't hear what thrush said, she knew that what could make the princess's face changed like this was something important.
Mrs. Chang gave her daughter a look in the dark and got up to say goodbye.
Nangong Yue was really anxious, so he didn't ask him to stay. He ordered magpie to see him off. He took Baihui to Huanxi Pavilion in a carriage.
“…… After buying calligraphy and painting in the brocade painting workshop, shizifei, the eldest girl and the third girl went to Huanxi pavilion to sit down. Who knows that not long after sitting on the second floor, the third girl's asthma suddenly broke out! " On the carriage, the little maid Hua, who came to report, said the whole story with a pale face. "Princess, the third girl has had asthma since she was a child, but in recent years, she has improved a lot and hasn't had an attack for more than a year..."
Nangongyue's face is as deep as water.
She also heard that Xiao Ni had asthma since she was a child. When she was a child, she almost didn't survive the attack several times. Therefore, Mrs. Xiao has been very careful to protect her daughter from childhood
It's just that this asthma is really troublesome. Some people get better naturally when they grow up, while others don't.
Between the thoughts, the carriage slowed down, and Baihui took a look at the curtain and said, "princess, Huanxi Pavilion is here."
Mrs. Jiang, the owner of Huanxi Pavilion, came out to greet Nangong Yue in person. After saluting Nangong Yue, she said, "the world Mrs. Xiao, please follow me. Miss Xiao is much better now. A girl happened to take some medicine for Miss Xiao... "
Mrs. Jiang's surprise is not over. No matter what the reason is, if Miss Xiao San has an accident with her, the palace may be angry. Secondly, the reputation of Yu Huanxi Pavilion will be unfavorable!
A few of the servant girl's wife in the high room, along with Jiang's wife, put down a few.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw several anxious figures around a beautiful woman's bed. They seemed to hear the sound of footsteps.
"Yes, madam."
Several servant girls of the palace saluted Nangong Yue one after another.
Xiao Fei, a moon white willow grain mound, also turned around. At the moment when she saw Nangong Yue, she was like a helpless child who had found the backbone. She cried out eagerly, "sister-in-law!"
A few maids hurried back to one side, and one could see Xiao Ni, who was full of crabapple and red flowers, was leaning on the beauty bed with her breast bent. Her face was flushed and her black eyes looked wet, but her breath was still stable
As Mrs. Jiang said, Xiao Ni's condition is much more stable.
"Sister in law..."
Xiao Ni's face was blushing, and she thought of saluting, but she was immediately pressed back by Xiao Fei, quite like a elder sister. She said, "third sister, if you are ill, you should lie down well. My sister-in-law is from her own family. Why should she be so polite? "
It seems that Xiao Ni's condition is stable, but Nangong Yue is still not at ease. He quickly steps forward and sits down on a small machine beside the beauty's couch, and then concentrates on taking pulse for her.
A moment later, Nangong Yue quietly took back his hand. His expression on his face became loose and said, "Ni sister, you should have a good rest after you go back. You can't be tired any more recently."
The implication is that Xiao Ni is really OK.
For a moment, the whole room was a long sigh of relief, the heart was completely put down, even the air in the room was relaxed a lot.
At this time, Xiao Fei thought of something, and quickly introduced a girl beside her and said, "sister-in-law, it was the girl Gu who helped her when she saw that her third sister was ill."
Xiao Fei stood beside a girl with a lotus colored camellia and gardenia, with a black hair and a simple editor's hair, and only a jade hairpin was inserted on her head.
That girl Gu looks delicate and graceful. She meets Nangong Yue in a dignified manner: "Madam Xiao."
Nangong Yue was also blessed, and returned with her: "thank you for saving my three sisters. I dare to ask where you are. I will come to thank you some day."
Miss Gu chuckled indifferently and said, "it's just a little work. Mrs. Xiao doesn't need to be polite."Since the other side said so, Nangong Yue did not ask for it.
Xiao Ni sat up with the help of her servant girl and said, "thank you very much, Xiao Ni, for saving your life." Her manner was so solemn that her eyes showed gratitude.
Half an hour ago, she had a asthma attack for a long time. She was short of breath and throat edema. She was almost unable to breathe. At that moment, she really thought that she was afraid that she could not live today. She thought of her mother, her elder brother, and her relatives in the Palace
I didn't expect that she was doomed after all.
As the old saying goes: the grace of a drop of water should be rewarded by the spring. She will remember this kindness!
Miss Gu put out her hand to hold Xiaofei and said, "girl, how polite. I have asthma, too, so I'm carrying my family medicine with me. "
"So, Miss Gu, have you ever had asthma?" Xiao Ni's eyes showed a trace of surprise. This was the first time she met a girl with the same disease as her.
"It used to be serious." Gu said with a smile, "it's much better in recent years. As long as you take good care of it and pay more attention to it every day, I believe that Miss Xiao San will get better. "
"Miss Gu, I wish you a good word." Xiao Ni Fu's body is blessed and thanks the other party again. The two looked at each other with a smile, which seemed to be quite congenial.
After talking for a while, the girl Gu took the initiative to say goodbye, and Baihui personally sent the people downstairs.
After Gu's footsteps were gone, Nangong Yue asked, "Ni sister, I heard that your asthma has not happened for nearly a year. Do you know what is induced today?"
"Sister-in-law, I seem to smell a fragrance," Xiao Ni frowned, trying to remember, "a fragrance similar to Gardenia..."
As she said this, Mrs. Jiang's face changed slightly, and she went forward to explain: "Mrs. Xiao, recently, a batch of sachets have been changed in Huanxi Pavilion. I didn't expect that the three girls could not smell it." Mrs. Jiang was afraid again. She was about to be planted in Huanxi Pavilion.
Mrs. Jiang quickly ordered someone to take a sachet and give it to Nangong Yue for inspection. After sniffing it, Nangong Yue immediately confirmed that there were several kinds of pollen in the sachet, such as gardenia, plum blossom, rose, Magnolia, etc., which could lead to asthma. Now, we can only guess that one of them is the cause of Xiao Ni, but he can't take the risk to study it in detail
It was not intended by Huanxi Pavilion. It was just an accident.
Nangong Yue didn't investigate. After Xiao Ni had a rest for a while, he took his sisters back to Zhennan palace.
Although Xiao Ni is well, she is still a little weak. She needs to have a good rest and recuperate for a few days.
Xiao Ni was sent back to her yard. The second lady of Xiao, Qiu, got the news and rushed to her. She held her daughter in her arms and cried bitterly. She only has this pair of children, they are her lifeblood.
"Mother, I'm ok..." Xiao Ni gently patted her mother's back, with guilt in her heart and self blame: she was so big that she made her mother worry about herself.
Between the words, only listen to a "bang" sound, as if something fell from her body.
Qiu Shi and Xiao Ni subconsciously follow the sound and see a pendant with a string of red tassels on the ground. The pendant is a plum blossom pendant carved from white jade. The carving is exquisite, delicate and mellow. At first glance, it is the accessories of the girl's house.
Xiao Ni blurted out: "this is not mine!"
