The Beloved Imperial Consort

Mu Xiyao won the farmhouse that she had been jealous of for a long time, and she returned to Danruoyuan with a look of trepidation. After Zong Zhenglin settled the person down, he turned around and went to Zen Ruoyuan.

"If you tidy it up, you'll leave the house." Helian Minmin was dressed like a lady from an ordinary family, without the air of a prince or concubine, but more elegant. Seeing that she was decent, Zong Zhenglin asked Tian Fushan to arrange the frame.

The two sat down beside the mahogany Eight Immortals table, holding teacups and waiting quietly. He Lian Minmin still remembered the conversation before, thinking that His Highness the Sixth Highness was willing to keep her, a possibly useless woman, in the mansion, occupying such an honorable position, she didn't know how to express her gratitude.

Helian Minmin couldn't figure out why His Highness the Sixth Highness was particularly resolute in this matter. If you want to talk about the relationship between husband and wife, you can't even lie to yourself.

On weekdays, His Highness's attitude is only respectful, but there is almost no closeness. Until this incident happened, even the Helian family made up their minds to abandon her, only His Highness was willing to protect her behind him. No matter what the motive is, He Lianmin misses his kindness sensitively. Even if His Highness asked her to take care of that woman in Danruo Garden when necessary, this matter would do her more good than harm.

"Comprehensive one or two"? To put it more clearly, it is to cover up for the prince's residence, the Mu family's special pet. She helped to make the truth out of it, and the reputation she gained not only made her wife and concubine harmonious, but also showed that she managed the family properly; it also let people outside know that His Highness still has affection for her as a concubine.

Thinking of getting definite news today and finding out what's going on with her body, it was difficult for Helian Minmin to keep calm. If the truth can be found out, the person who harmed her must have left clues for tracing.

"Let's go." Seeing Ye Kai driving over, Zong Zhenglin got up first, and purposely looked at the carriage. After he was satisfied, he helped Helian's into the carriage, and then he opened the curtain and followed.

"Ye Kai, Red Mansion."

Helian Minmin was about to move the place for Zong Zhenglin, but when he heard his orders, he suddenly looked up in shock, with a look of disbelief.

Red House? Helian Minmin looked a little unnatural.

How could His Highness go into the Chu Pavilion, a brothel known to everyone in Shengjing? And bring her, the princess, with her. Helian Minmin resisted such an undignified thing.

"The person who sees you lives in the red building." Seeing that Helian's face changed awkwardly, Zong Zhenglin explained slightly.

Helian's reaction like this is like a young lady brought up by a family. Compared with Mu Xiyao's eyes sparkling when she heard about the Red Mansion, Zong Zhenglin really didn't know how to explain her excitement. Her background was barely worthy of the stage.

For a woman like Yu who follows the rules, Mrs. Mu is even more of a gentleman, with strict principles. How could it be possible to raise Mu Xiyao, a girl who has countless eyes, a girl who doesn't follow the rules?

Zong Zhenglin pondered over the strangeness of the little woman with great interest, but Helian Minmin felt a little embarrassed as if he had been pardoned.

How can His Highness think so badly? His Highness the Sixth Highness is already rare among the princes to be upright and self-disciplined, and he is really not the kind of person who seeks pleasure. Otherwise, it would not be the Mu family's turn to be the dominant family and have a great reputation in the mansion. The singer Lianren, who is common in ordinary families, is not seen in the Sixth Prince's residence. It was so easy for another family to send two dancers, but they were beaten up by Mu Xiyao so that they lost their lives.

The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts along the way, and there was no half-word conversation in the carriage. Ye Kai was driving in front, and suddenly felt that he was not used to this journey.

The frame that had been prepared earlier was temporarily exchanged by His Royal Highness. Even the delicate layout in the original car was not allowed to be moved a little bit, but another set of ordinary style was prepared.

Ye Kai couldn't figure it out at first, why was such a delicate and comfortable arrangement left unused? Later, the chief steward made a point, this time His Highness was out of the mansion with the concubine Zheng, and His Highness did not allow others to touch the things that Master Yao loved in the car. That temper is also weird, if she touches something she likes, she will keep it for you to lose her temper.

His Highness spoiled him so much that Master Yao obeyed everything he said. No, the concubine has to take care of that temper when she leaves the mansion, so she has to make other arrangements.

Now that the carriage was changed, without the usual upholstery, Ye Kai suddenly felt panicked.

Also, isn't it a little too quiet in the back? Why is there no sound since His Highness got into the car?

Every time His Highness and Master Yao are together inside, how can there be quiet time? It's not that Ye Kai has never seen some scenes that make outsiders blush.

Being so quiet now, which should be the most appropriate etiquette of a famous family, somehow made him a little worried. Could it be that the concubine angered His Highness, so she stood in such a cold stalemate?

The situation in the carriage was not as bad as Ye Kai thought. He Lian Minmin was not clumsy, seeing that Zong Zhenglin didn't want to speak up, he just sat aside obediently and refilled him with some tea at the right time, so as not to be annoying in vain. In addition, this matter has not been settled, and he has done too much, which shows his eagerness.

In the wing room of the inner courtyard of the red building, a woman with a light veil covering her face met Zong Zhenglin and led someone to come, and greeted him respectfully.

"This is the princess concubine? I am a polite concubine."

The people who were originally sitting together stood up like this, their exquisite figures were undoubtedly revealed, and the sound of Yingying and Yanyu fell into their ears instantly. If it wasn't for the veil covering her face so that she couldn't see her real face, Helian Minmin would have thought that another fairy like Mu Xiyao had appeared in the world.

"You don't need to be too polite, aunt. Your Highness respects your aunt, and Helian will follow your highness to treat you." Just listening to the voice, this Yugu looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and her age really does not match the title of aunt.

There was curiosity in my heart, but I didn't dare to show it on my face. Most of these strange people are strange methods, using medicine to maintain their appearance, isn't this Yugu's forte? Since people are hiding their faces, why bother to offend them recklessly.

According to His Highness, in the entire Shengjing City, no one can beat the woman in front of him in terms of fragrance and medicine. I can't say that I will count on her for the rest of my life.

"Concubine Zheng, please put your hands in the water and soak them all." The servant girl standing behind Yugu brought a wooden basin of unidentifiable material, put it in a good position, and placed it in front of Helian Minmin.

Helian Minmin was a little nervous when he looked at the clear water in the basin, which was the same as usual, and rolled up his sleeves while Gui Li waited on him. Gently put your hands into the basin, your fingertips just touched the surface of the water, you can feel the unusually cold breath quickly spread up along your fingers.

"Ah!" Helian Minmin exclaimed in shock. This feeling is too strange, although it is cool and refreshing, it has a slight tingling itching.

Zong Zhenglin frowned, and did not make a sound to interfere with Yugu's consultation.

"Prince and concubine, don't be alarmed. The water is mixed with medicinal powder, which will not cause any harm to the body. It's just that I need to borrow the power of the medicine to diagnose the pulse of the prince and concubine." Yugu's words were very kind, calming Helian Minmin's unprepared panic .

"So, it's my concubine's rudeness." I slowly put my hand into the water again until it was completely submerged, and then I heard Yugu stop in satisfaction.

"Prince and concubine sit down for a while. The effect of the medicine spreads, and it takes a stick of incense."

He was speaking to Helian Minmin, but his eyes were on Zong Zhenglin, explaining to him.

Zongzheng Lin expressed his understanding with a hum, and after a moment of silence, he asked a question that Aunt Yu couldn't think of.

"Women give birth, can there be a prescription to relieve pain?"

Helian Minmin's fingertips that were not underwater trembled slightly. This question is not for Nam, but for whom? His Highness really pampered Mu Xiyao in his heart.

Since the conversation between the two of them before, His Highness no longer has any scruples, can't wait to get a prescription for Mrs. Mu in front of her? Mu Xiyao really tried her best to take the opportunity to invite pets even to have a child.

Yugu didn't know much about the affairs of Zongzhenglin's house, so she felt that this question was really funny. Could it be that His Highness the Sixth Highness asked for someone very important?

"Dare to ask if this person is a side concubine?" Although it would be inappropriate to ask so bluntly in front of Helian's, Zong Zhenglin should have no scruples about his temper.

Sure enough, Zong Zhenglin didn't feel anything wrong. "Of course. Mrs. Mu is going to give birth next month. She is more delicate and can't bear the pain. The last time she gave birth was a toss." Facing Yugu, Zong Zhenglin did not hide Mu Xiyao's shameful faults.

Yugu was a little startled when she first heard this, and it took her a long time to be sure that His Highness was not joking, and she showed some understanding on her face.

"Medicine is not suitable for children after all. If the side concubine can bear it, it is better not to use this medicine. If the pain is really severe, there are some soothing supplements in my body, which should be of some help."

After working for His Highness for so many years, I now know that this cold-faced man also has tender moments.

I thought that the outside rumors were all exaggerations, but I never thought that the Mu family would actually have such a good ability. Your Highness Sixth, Aunt Yu shook her head secretly, this man is so tough, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is indifferent.

"Forget it, I'll trouble Yugu." Zongzheng Linben asked like this, how can a woman give birth without pain. He was really dizzy from being pestered by Mu Xiyao. Zong Zhenglin laughed at himself.

Looking at the leak, Yugu asked the girl to hand over the brocade handkerchief, and Guili wiped Helian Minmin's hands as instructed.

Putting two fingers on Helian Minmin's wrist, Yugu closed her eyes for a long time. After switching hands and signaling the pulse again, he opened his eyes after a long time, with a very dignified expression.

Helian Minmin's heart went cold, and he never felt such anxiety again.

After scrutinizing Helian Minmin complicatedly for a moment, Yugu motioned for her to put down her sleeves. Greeting the little girl to remove the wooden basin, Yugu turned around and told His Highness the Sixth Highness who was sitting on top of her head how powerful it was.

"Your Highness, the concubine was given poisonous medicine when she was young. It has been seven years. During these seven years, the power of the medicine has been accumulated every day, and now it is a serious illness that cannot be cured." Yugu shook her head and sighed.

Helien was a child seven years ago. What kind of enmity is this, to go to such lengths to murder, to insist on her alive but to suffer the despair of having no children.

Helian Minmin trembled when he heard the words, the brilliance in his eyes almost disappeared.

Zong Zhenglin's expression darkened for the first time.

"This medicine is for someone who needs to be served close by. Why don't you add it to your meals?"

If someone was buried around Helian Minmin, Mu Xiyao's Dan Ruoyuan would not be able to guarantee that he would not be targeted. There is also that kid Chengqing, but he is the easiest to attract people's envy.

"Of course. It must be the people around the concubine. They can touch the food and tea, and melt the medicine into it."

After getting Yugu's reply, Zong Zhenglin immediately turned around and looked at He Lianmin with gloomy eyes.

"The people around you, who will take care of food?"

Helian Minmin already had tears in his eyes, and he clenched his hands tightly together. "Branchi, Taohong."

"The two of them are from Helian Mansion, and they have been with you for more than seven years?"

Helian Minmin's tears rolled down her face, her voice trembling. "Peach Red was given to me by my mother three years ago. Only Bilan, who has been serving my concubine since she was eight years old, is considerate and considerate, so she handed over this job to her."

How could she believe this, was she betrayed by her confidant maid? Helian Minmin felt dizzy for a while. Such affection from childhood to adulthood cannot be trusted. In the huge prince's mansion, what else is worthy of her trust?

"Wei Zhen, quickly arrest someone and come to see him." Whether he has made a move or not, you will know once you try it. It is best to identify people who have been exposed to drugs for a long time.

"Your Highness," Yu Gu never let go of her frown. "This medicine is not owned by the Great Wei. It was passed down from the two dynasties. Even people from this dynasty need a certificate issued by the government to buy it. The identity of the person behind it..."

Zong Zhenglin's face was stern, and a cold light flashed in his phoenix eyes. Very good, dare to collude with the two dynasties. Although he has never seen the Helian family, it is the Yue family on the surface. Being nailed by outsiders like this, Zong Zhenglin didn't think about anything except cleaning.

There has been no war between the Great Wei and the two dynasties for decades. On the surface, they rule across the river, but in private, they send spies to each other to find out about the military situation. The two Jin Dynasties were unified externally, but internally they each had their own filth, and they fought fiercely. If it weren't for the restraint of the other three parties, the Great Wei and the two Jins would never live in peace as they are now.

Helian Minmin heard such secrets, and didn't care about the strong background of the person behind him, and only wanted to find out the person, cut him into pieces, and took revenge fiercely.

"Auntie, with my body, I really can't..." Looking at Zong Zhenglin's back standing by the window, Helian Minmin really couldn't accept his fate. She was reluctant to let go of this man who saved her from danger... At least, it would be nice to have his child.

Yugu frowned at her for a moment, pityed what happened to her, and finally told the truth.

"It's not impossible, but this pain is very human-bearable."

As if grasping at the last straw, He Lian Minmin's eyes brightened instantly, staring at Yugu with a pleading look on her face.

"Prince Concubine, this method itself is too insidious, almost unacceptable in heaven. If the Concubine Concubine uses this method to obtain an heir, it must be a rare end. I also ask the Concubine to forgive me for the inconvenience." peace matter. Anyone who violates the ancestral precepts will be expelled from the school.

Helian Minmin clenched his fists tightly, and the hope that suddenly ignited in his heart was unstoppable and firmly entrenched in the bottom of his heart.

There is a way, there is really a way! As long as there is no hope, even if Aunt Yu is unwilling to tell, she can find out through other channels.

On the surface, he let it go without mentioning it, but Helian Minmin had an obsession in his heart. The great surprise after she was brought back to life, and the fear that she suppressed to the extreme, disappeared in the blink of an eye. Sure enough, there is no unparalleled road, and she, Helian Minmin, should be able to secure the position of the sixth prince and concubine.

As long as she finds a way to successfully give birth to a son for His Highness, no matter how many evils other women give birth to, they can't surpass the word "di" of her son!

After being abandoned by her family and betrayed by her servants, Helian Minmin, who was almost driven to a dead end, now only focused on her children. This deep-rooted thought made her gradually transform, and gradually overlapped with the dignified and ruthless woman in her previous life.

Wei Zhen left for less than two quarters of an hour, but when she returned, she was alone, and did not see the maid that His Royal Highness had asked to see by name.

"Your Highness, Bi Lan, who is beside the concubine, left a book and threw herself into a well half an hour ago. My subordinates only found these things that I didn't have time to deal with in her room." He took out three bottles of unmarked medicine powder from his sleeve pocket. , in turn placed on the mahogany table.

Helian Minmin suppressed his anger tightly, his chest heaving slightly with anger.

"How?" His Highness the Sixth Prince was still calm and composed, and there was no danger just because the man was gone. This kind of most common killing and silence is really common for Yu Zongzhenglin.

Yugu stepped forward to identify them one by one, and finally took out a small glass bottle containing light yellow medicinal powder. "It should be this thing. The concubine has only heard a little from the family teacher, and I can really see it today."

"The real name of this medicine is Niuqi. It is the main medicine for treating black-blind autumn rash. But after special treatment, it has been soaked in bezoar and black gold, and now it has become a chronic poison."

Zong Zhenglin nodded. Black blind autumn rash is a unique disease in the inland areas of the two dynasties. The reason why Niu Qi only grew up in the two dynasties was because of the special hot and humid climate there. If I remember correctly, the production of this drug is very small, there should be a limit.

Being able to get Niu Qi and taking Helian Minmin medication for seven years like a day, the amount added together is not a small amount. This person seems to have a lot to do with the two dynasties.

"Tell Helianzhang the truth about this." The old fox would not be surprised by what to do next.

"Prince Concubine, please come with me. Your pulse condition needs to be covered up." Yugu brought a set of golden needles, more than a dozen medicine bottles of various colors, and even two aromatherapy burners. Just looking at the preparations, one knows that the next thing to do should be very complicated and take some effort.

Seeing Zong Zhenglin nodding, Helian Minmin took Gui Li to the inner room. The pain of administering the medicine made her whole body go into convulsions, and she grunted in pain.

Gui Li watched helplessly as his master suffered, his palms were sweating coldly. From time to time, I thought of Bilan who threw herself into the well, and for some reason, I felt a kind of desolation as if a rabbit died and a fox was boiled.

An hour later, when Helian Minmin came out again, his face was pale, he was supported tremblingly by Gui Li, his lips were still trembling.

"Your Highness." The voice was so weak that Zong Zhenglin frowned.

"The medicine is a bit stronger. The concubine should go back and have a good rest. After tonight, her pulse condition is no longer abnormal." Yugu tidied up and explained.

Zong Zhenglin thanked him with a nod, put his hands on Helian Minmin, led the people into the car, and left through the side door in the alley.

As soon as the carriage turned the corner and turned onto the street for a few steps, it was stopped by Xiaojiao, who was seven or eight times ahead. The woman's laughter and praise disturbed Zong Zhenglin's tranquility through the car curtain.

"Ye Kai?" Putting down the medical book he got from Yugu, Zong Zhenglin tapped on the carriage twice. "What's going on ahead?"

Ye Kai lifted the curtain to reveal only half of his body, "Your Highness, the fourth princess and the princesses are in front. They are surrounded by a craftsman to watch the fun."

"Tell them to leave." Zong Zhenglin ordered coldly, and continued to read the paper.
