It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 66 Set off

When Lu Yufei returned to the palace, as expected, Zhao Chengjun had already left.

Facing Liu Ji, Lu Yufei expressed his guilt with a long sigh: “I was negligent. The prince went on the expedition today. I didn’t catch up with such a big matter. My concubine, my eldest son, is truly negligent.”

Liu Ji smiled and said: “Don’t blame the concubine Shizi, the prince’s expedition is confidential, and did not tell outsiders. The concubine Shizi has this heart and it is enough. When the prince comes back, he will not blame the concubine and the prince.”

Lu Yufei followed with a sigh. She changed her voice and said casually: “Grandpa Liu, there is another weird thing to report to you today. Girl Tang doesn’t know where she went, I’ll let you go back and forth in Wangjiang Tower. I searched for three times, but did not find her. The person who was with her said that Miss Tang went out on her own, but no one knew where she went. I was anxious, but seeing that it was too early, I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up with the prince. I can only endure the pain and leave first. Daddy Liu, what do you think should be done?

Liu Ji was not surprised, and said casually: “It’s okay, Miss Tang has already returned. She caught wind on the road, and the doctor prescribed typhoid medicine to her, and now she is asleep.”

Lu Yufei deliberately spoke slowly, not to scare Liu Ji. As a result, Liu Ji was fine, and Lu Yufei was taken aback by himself: “What? Master Tang has returned?”

Lu Yufei realized that his tone was wrong, and hurriedly sought to make up for it: “Of course this is a good thing. However, the carriages of the Palace are all stopped, and no one left early. How did Miss Tang come back?”

Liu Ji copied his hand and smiled at Lu Yufei kindly: “It’s fine if people are safe, and there is no need to entangle the details. Concubine, don’t you think?”

Liu Ji is a well-known smiling tiger. Lu Yufei is embarrassed. She nodded stiffly, and said, “My father-in-law said that. Girl Tang is in the Jianjiayuan. I’ll go see her.”

“The concubine.” Liu Ji smiled unhurriedly, “Miss Tang is already asleep.”

“Look at my memory, I almost forgot.” Lu Yufei smiled reluctantly and said, “I was rude. I will visit Miss Tang again tomorrow.”

“What, Master Tang is in the palace?” Feng Qian returned to the room and heard a thunderous news before she sat down. Feng Qian couldn’t believe it, and couldn’t help muttering: “She is in the palace? How could it be possible, Wangjiang Tower is so far away from the city, how can she come back?”

Feng Qian didn’t know what she thought of, so she stood up abruptly: “No, I’m going to have a look.”

“Girl.” The maid stopped Feng Qian, her face embarrassed, “Ms. Tang is already asleep. Gonggong Liu sent someone to mention that Ms. Tang is ill. It is not convenient to see guests during this period, so that outsiders will not disturb Ms. Tang’s recovery. .”

Feng Qian’s face changed, and finally she sat back slowly and said, “Yes, Sister Tang is already recovering from illness. My sister is sick, and it hurts me to be a sister. I will visit my sister in person when I wait for tomorrow.”

Master Tang took a good night’s sleep, and when it was still early when she woke up the next day, she did not disturb the maid and got out of bed by herself.

Master Tang’s body recovered a lot, but his expression was still daunting. When she put on clothes, she saw the bruises on her body, and her teeth were tickled with hatred: “Birds! As expected, men are not good things. I don’t know how to control the bed. When I get out of bed, I will pretend to be a gentleman, huh.”

Dujuan vaguely heard movement inside, came in with water, and curiously said: “Girl, who are you scolding? It was so angry early in the morning.”

“It’s okay.” Tang Shishi casually said, putting on a high-necked coat and buttoning the buttons to the highest point, firmly covering all traces on her body. After doing all this, Master Tang asked: “Has anyone been here yesterday?”

“No.” After Du Juan finished speaking, he looked at Master Tang cautiously, “Girl, you yesterday…”

Master Tang came back yesterday in disheveled clothes. Although she did not let the maid wait in the bath, but the cuckoo had served for so long, some traces were inevitable. Du Juan was frightened. She gave birth to a bold guess, but she was not sure. Yesterday she was so scared that she didn’t dared to close her eyes overnight.

Speaking of yesterday, Master Tang’s expression turned cold and said, “I was exposed to the rain yesterday, so I changed my clothes halfway through. After all, it’s not a good thing for me to go back to the house without permission. What happened yesterday is not allowed to be told to anyone.”

Du Juan was shocked and responded quickly. Du Juan tried several times in secret, but Tang Shishi refused to say, Du Juan did not dare to ask, so he could only swallow the mystery.

Not long after Master Tang used the meal, a visitor came to the door. Lu Yufei took Feng Qian, Ji Xinxian, etc. to the door. When Master Tang saw them, he suddenly laughed: “I don’t know if the concubine of the world is driving, I will welcome you. Yo, sister Feng is also here?”

When Feng Qian saw Master Tang, her eyes flashed with surprise, and she greeted Master Tang with a timid expression: “Sister Tang, you are fine. I didn’t find you after looking for a long time yesterday. I was almost scared to death. ”

Master Tang looked at Feng Qian deeply with a pair of water-cut eyes, and said in a soft tone, “Thanks to my sister, I can’t die. My sister can rest assured that I have a clear grievance and grievances, and my sister’s kindness to me will surely be remembered in my heart. Day and night repeated.”

Feng Qian avoided the sight of Teacher Tang, her eyes lowered, and she still smiled weakly: “My sister has a real temperament and is always high-spirited. I admire it very much.”

Lu Yufei looked around, she always felt that these two people were playing a riddle, but she couldn’t tell. Lu Yufei coughed slightly, and after she attracted the attention of both of them, she smiled and said, “Anyway, it’s okay for people to be okay. It would be great to have a false alarm. I heard that Miss Tang was caught in the rain yesterday. I accidentally caught the cold, I wonder if the condition is serious?”

Teacher Tang was slightly startled, okay, even the name of her illness has been knitted, Zhao Chengjun just guarded her like this. He didn’t let her see people, mostly because she was afraid that she would reveal what happened yesterday, which would affect King Jing I’s fame.

Master Tang was angry, and on the surface he said calmly, “It’s nothing, it’s just a minor illness. This little incident shocked the concubine Shizi and the sisters, and it made me feel bad.”

Lu Yufei said: “What are you talking about? Your body has been weak and healthy this year, and your condition has been repeated. After a few days, I will go to the temple to ask for a peace sign for you, and let the Bodhisattva bless you for a speedy recovery.”

Tang Shishi was noncommittal, looking down and smiling: “Thank you, concubine Shizi.”

“Just take care of the rest of the illness, you don’t need to worry about the outside affairs. It is your greatest contribution to the Royal Mansion if you take care of your body.” Lu Yufei said, and glanced at Master Tang’s collar inadvertently, “It’s already in May. , The weather is sultry today, why is Miss Tang still wearing a high collar?”

Master Tang gently pressed the top button, and said, “I’m not healthy recently, and I always feel cold in the room, so I made the girl turn out the high collar. My body is weak, and the concubine Shi Zi laughed.”

As soon as Lu Yufei finished talking about letting Master Tang recover from the illness, Master Tang immediately replied that she was weak. Lu Yufei had nothing to say, and smiled: “You are right, I almost forgot that you are still a patient. In that case, I am too. Don’t delay your recovery.”

Lu Yufei stood up, and the others got up with her. Lu Yufei imaginarily helped Teacher Fu Tang and said, “You don’t have to send it, we’re going now.”

Master Tang indicated to the door and watched Lu Yufei go away. When Ji Xinxian passed by Tang Shishi, he snorted triumphantly.

Ji Xinxian was energetic and radiant, but Tang Shishi was sick, and the positions of the two seemed to be reversed. How could Ji Xinxian be unhappy? Master Tang didn’t bother to pay attention to this fool. After Ji Xinxian passed by, Feng Qian slowly followed up and said goodbye to Master Tang in a soft voice: “Sister Tang, it’s good to be healthy.”

“Sister Feng is too.” Master Tang looked at Feng Qian with a smile, and said every word, “Sister must take care of herself during this time, and don’t accidentally have an accident. My sister is so kind, and I am afraid that Hades will not Close it.”

“Sister Xie cares, Sister Tang should take care of herself first.” Feng Qian finished speaking, and did not maintain the image of her weak sister, and walked out of the Jianjia courtyard with a cold face. Master Tang stood behind, watching her go away coldly.

This time it was Master Tang’s negligence. In fact, Tang Shishi had been guarding Feng Qian, but unexpectedly, he was still caught. For this kind of snake and scorpion, if you can’t get close, you should just hit it to death with a stick.

Feng Qian, you are waiting for it.

Master Tang only stood at the door for a while, and felt that many people looked at her if they didn’t, and seemed to prevent her from going out. Master Tang snorted coldly, and slammed the door hard.

Teacher Tang was extremely angry. It was obvious that she was taken advantage of, and now she is still controlled by others. What is Zhao Chengjun planning to do? Teacher Tang was in a bad mood, and no one dared to step forward when the maids saw this, and Jianjiayuan was quiet for a while.

Master Tang is now “rehabilitating by decree” and staying behind closed doors. Other people in the palace don’t know what they have received, and no one comes to look for it. The years are long in the quiet, and in the blink of an eye, it’s June.

This month and a half of Master Tang had a very leisurely life, and similarly, the rumors of her falling out of favor were completely settled. The days are long in June, and the heat stays for a long time at night. The cuckoo brought dinner and set up the tableware quickly: “Girl, it’s time to eat. The servant girl knows that the girl has a bad appetite these days, so today I took a light fish soup, and the girl will come and try it.”

Master Tang slowly sat down at the table. She looked at the dishes on the table and curiously said: “The dishes are all the same. With the strength of the kitchen to see the wind, I expected that the treatment in the Jiajiayuan would not be much better.”

In fact, Cuckoo is also very puzzled at this point. The people in the kitchen are used to holding high and stumbling. The kitchen dared to detain Master Tang’s things just before Tang Shishi showed signs of falling out of favor a few days ago, and openly contradicted Cuckoo. This month, Master Tang was restrained more and more severely. Du Juan thought he had a lot of anger to suffer. Unexpectedly, the kitchen was orderly and did not treat Master Tang’s diet. Sometimes the cuckoo goes to fetch food, and the person in charge is very polite.

what happened?

Master Tang sighed casually, not thinking about it, and soon forgot about it. She has a bad appetite recently, and watching Big Fish and Meat feel sick. Seeing that the fish soup is stewed into milky white, it looks light and refreshing, so she scoops out the soup first.

When the fish soup was brought to his mouth, Master Tang didn’t know what was going on, and suddenly he felt sick. Master Tang threw the bowl and spoon onto the table, leaning over and retching constantly.

Du Juan was taken aback, and hurriedly helped Tang Shishi and asked, “Girl, what’s the matter with you?”

Master Tang was so vomited that he couldn’t speak, Dujuan patted his back and sent water, so he could take good care of Master Tang. After Master Tang straightened up, he quickly took a sip of tea, and covered his eyebrows with an uncomfortable expression.

Dujuan looked at the table full of vegetables, and then at Master Tang’s pale face, his expression changed unknowingly: “Girl, could it be that the vegetables are poisonous?”

The thinking of their master and servant is the same, and they don’t take the usual path. Master Tang was not angry, and cursed: “This is in the palace. When Liu Ji and Tongxiu were dead, who would dare to poison? Even if it was really poisoned, what should I do to Zhao Chengjun and vote for me?”

Dujuan thought for a while and found it reasonable. But Master Tang said so bluntly, is it too…

Dujuan’s face was pitiful, and he dared not answer at all. Master Tang held her forehead for a while and waited until the disgusting energy finally subsided before she had the energy to think about other things.

Master Tang’s reason slowly returned, carefully pondering over the events of this period. Fish soup, loss of appetite, nausea… Master Tang’s expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly asked, “Dujuan, when was the last time I came for menstrual affairs?”

Dujuan was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted. She thought about it for a while, and then she said, her voice panicked: “It’s the end of April. The servant girl remembers very clearly that she went outside to watch the dragon boat after Yuehong had left.”

Master Tang’s face was pale, and he had a bad feeling.

The menstruation was delayed for more than half a month, either because she had a serious health problem, or she was pregnant.

However, she clearly drank avoiding soup. Dignified mansion, it’s not fake, right?

Dujuan was too panicked. She said: “The girl was caught in the rain and ill some time ago. It may be that the blood in the body is weak, so the little days are late. Wait a minute, the girl, if we don’t come after a while, we Think of a solution.”

Master Tang nodded with a straight face: “For the current plan, this is the only way to go.”

Dujuan quickly cleaned up the fish soup. When she came back, she saw Master Tang sitting by the window in a daze. The evening light outside the window reflected on her, like a delicate porcelain, beautiful and helpless. Du Juan felt sorry for him, and couldn’t help saying: “Girl, do you want to get angry with Grandpa Liu about this matter?”

“No!” Tang Master suddenly became excited. She turned her face away, her eyes bright and tough, “You are not allowed to talk to others about things that are unfounded. Today’s things can only be rotten in the stomach, if you let me know that you reveal it to others, You don’t have to wait on me, just find another place.”

Cuckoo was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down: “Girl, the servant girl dare not. The servant girl is loyal to you and has no two minds.”

Master Tang weakly held her forehead. After a while, she waved weakly to Du Juan and said, “I didn’t doubt you. Go on, I’ll be alone.”

“Yes.”

The cuckoo got up and put away the food lightly. Master Tang now seems to have no appetite, but she can’t neglect now, whether she is ill or pregnant, she must not lose her food. Cuckoo warms the dishes in the small kitchen, and waits for Master Tang to be hungry for a while, and can use it immediately.

Teacher Tang waited for half a month in anxiety, and no matter how she prayed during the half month, the monthly rule had not come for a long time. Seeing that July entered, Master Tang was completely dead, and said to Du Juan, “Go get a doctor.”
