The Story of the Charming Empress - C55
I was placed under Yang Guang’s house arrest.
After the death of the emperor, although I no longer spoke, but Yang Guangyuan prevented me from “blabbering nonsense” and placed me under house arrest in Yuanxin Pavilion. I think that this must be Yang Su’s idea. If Yang Guang was afraid of my nonsense, he wouldn’t bring me to see the Emperor.
In addition to being filial, I spent the rest of my time with Zhao’er at the Yuanxin Pavilion. Even though we were filial, we had Yang Guang’s trusted aides to stay close to us. I only sneered in my heart. Even if he doesn’t imprison me, who else can I talk to?
What’s more, if I say it out loud, I’m afraid that Yu Zhao’er will be destroyed.
Until the emperor’s funeral, apart from A He and the people from the Yuanxin Pavilion, I had never said a single word to anyone else. Even if I met Xuan Hua in the palace, I did not see him. I hate Xuan Hua, the death of the Emperor was a result of her colluding with Yang Guang, I want to see, what kind of fate Xuan Hua will have in the future.
Chen has not been in the pavilion recently, and I have no time to look after her. Doggie said one day that he saw Chen Lin surreptitiously heading towards Yang Guang’s bedroom. I was suspicious, but felt that it was impossible. I didn’t treat him badly, perhaps she went to Yang Guang for the matter with Mrs. Xuanhua.
Zhao’er had been addicted to sleep, and had been listless all day, and looked ill. At first I thought it was because the weather was getting warmer and people would be a little lazy, but as time went on, I felt that something was wrong and hurriedly called for a doctor.
“May I ask Empress, has the little prince recently been taking medicine to calm his mind and ease his mind?” the doctor asked after checking up.
“Nope.” I was slightly surprised as I replied.
“This is strange, from what I see, the little prince should be the one who often eats drugs such as Ningshenshen. For ordinary people, these drugs can lower one’s anger, drive anxiety and calm one’s heart, but for children, especially the little prince who is still a premature baby, it’s very bad. The lighthearted one has a dizzy state, while the heavy ones can make one unconscious.” The imperial physician said.
I was extremely shocked. My face had already turned pale. I thought that Zhao’er was sick, but I didn’t expect that she would be poisoned. Gladys helped me up on the verge of collapse.
“No, how could that be? Zhao’er’s meals have always been prepared by my own hands. ”
Seeing this, the imperial physician hurriedly said:
Perhaps it is because she does not take care of food during the day or perhaps it is because she has eaten a lot of foods with the ‘God of Peace’ medicine, so she does not need to take any medicine. As long as you pay more attention to your diet in the future, it will be alright if you eat some foods that are nourished with supplementary nourishment. This humble subject will go back to prepare a list and deliver it. The Empress only needs to give the little prince nothing to eat. ”
After sending off the imperial physician, my heart was a mess. Because of my premature birth, Zhao’er’s physique had always been weaker than the other children. If she were to injure me in any way, wouldn’t that be taking my life?
Henceforth, I will no longer allow anyone to interfere in Zhao’er’s diet, not even my mother-in-law and my dog. For the sake of Zhao’er, I will have to defend myself against anyone.
I could torture Zhao’er and let him grow on his own, but I would never allow anything to go wrong with his body.
After a few days of this, Zhao’er was still sickly. She didn’t like to eat, but she was unusually tired. When the imperial physician arrived, he asked curiously:
“The soul calming medicine within the little prince’s body has actually increased in strength!”
How is it possible? I was the one who took care of Zhao’er’s daily life, the others had no part in it at all. Perhaps it was because this imperial physician’s skills were too shallow, so I ordered someone to bring the imperial hospital’s courtyard order and all of the imperial physicians with some qualifications here.
This time, it alarmed Yang Guang, no matter how despicable Yang Guang was, he was still a kind father to Zhao’er.
But to my surprise, all the physicians agreed that Zhao’er had been given a tranquilizer. This time, everyone was panicking. Yang Guang ordered a thorough investigation of the whole mansion, and the whole mansion was filled with panic. Suspicion arose everywhere, but no drugs were found.
Seeing that the emperor had died and Yang Guang was busy with the matter of enthronement, I stayed in Yuanxin Pavilion with Zhao’er every day. As Zhao’er became more and more dispirited, I could only wash my face with tears.
“Princess, why don’t you have some food?” Her eyes were red as she watched me sit on the couch with Zhao’er in my arms. She didn’t say anything, neither did she eat nor drink. She was also very worried.
“If Zhao’er doesn’t eat it, how can I, a mother, eat it?” As the words left her mouth, tears flowed down her cheeks. Zhao’er’s face was emaciated as she slept peacefully in my arms.
I haven’t left Zhao’er for the past few days, even when I was sleeping, I’ve always been guarding Zhao’er’s sleeping quarters. Yang Guang persuaded me twice, but seeing that I didn’t move, he didn’t pay any attention to me and allowed me to hug Zhao’er and cry every day.
The royal doctors came daily to check the pulse, but they were all helpless, they hated Yang Guang so much that he had to pay three years’ salary each. If the treatment was not good, the royal doctors’ lives would be lost.
“Empress, can I let you see the grass dance?” For the past few days, Worry Grass and Dog had been burning with anxiety, always wanting to please me. However, I did not have the time to care about her.
Worried grass dance non-stop, dog also non-stop persuasion, but the disciple causes me trouble, shouted:
“Get out! All of you, get out! ”
Seeing me howl like a madman, the two of them were so scared that their legs trembled. However, no matter what, they refused to leave the room. Thus, they accompanied me in tears. If I don’t eat them, I don’t eat them. If I don’t sleep, they don’t sleep.
At night, Zhao’er slept a little unsteadily. She twisted in my arms and kicked me a few times. I was awakened by him. I quickly got up and changed my position to make him sleep more comfortably.
Perhaps I was watching Zhao’er not sleeping a few days ago, but when I woke up from my unconsciousness, my mind was abnormally clear. It was as if I had not been muddle-headed in the past few days.
Just as he was about to go back to sleep, he smelled a faint aroma. If he didn’t smell it carefully, he was afraid that he would be drowned by the burning mosquito repellent inside the room. When I woke up from my sleep at the foot of my shoes, I was busy helping me up.
A few days of poor food made me dizzy. After a while, I stood in the dark and walked out of the room slowly while supporting the grass with my hands. The moon was like a hook, the stars were like eyes. There was still a slight coolness in the warm spring night. Smelling the fragrance, I followed the fragrance and went away. I whispered to the grass:
“Do you smell a scent?”
“Yes, there is a strange fragrance.” Worry was clear in his voice.
He went to the window and found clumps of green grass with white flowers blooming on them. The fragrance was faint, and it was from then on that the flowers were blooming. When he heard this, he was overjoyed and said:
“What fragrant flowers, let this servant gather some for you to place in the hall.” With that, he went to pick the flowers.
I slightly frowned. What kind of flower is this? I don’t seem to know it, nor have I ever planted it in the palace.
After picking the flowers and helping me back to the hall, I heard Zhao’er’s voice whining as if she was extremely uncomfortable. I immediately ran over and hugged her to comfort her.
He placed the flowers in a vase and, seeing that the mosquito repellent was about to burn out, took out a new one and lit it. Then, he walked over. Suddenly, her feet staggered and she almost fell down. I thought it was because of the darkness of the night.
“The sky is dark. Watch your feet.”
Wo Lu walked over slowly and muttered to himself.
“Everything’s fine, why do I feel a little dizzy?”
I thought she had woken up in the middle of the night, unable to sleep, so I ignored her and went back to sleep beside Zhao. Just as I closed my eyes, the faint fragrance of the flowers drifted over. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly sat up and shouted loudly.
“Grass!” Throw that flower out! The mosquito-repellent incense has also been extinguished! ”
Just as Worry fell asleep, he was woken up by me and was flustered to throw the flowers. The dog was just outside the hall when he heard my shout and rushed in. He threw the mosquito repellent on the ground and stomped on it.
I held my breath. Zhao’er was frightened by me and started crying. As I coaxed him, I asked,
“Who planted these flowers outside Zhao’er’s window?”
Worry and Dog looked at each other, shook their heads and said they didn’t know.
Very quickly, I brought Zhao’er to my bedroom and coaxed her to sleep. Fang Xing summoned everyone from the Yuanxin Pavilion to the main hall. Everyone was still deep in sleep when I suddenly woke them up. They were all undressed and had hazy expressions on their faces. They rubbed their drowsy eyes as they stood up with their heads lowered.
“Speak, who planted the Overcast Jade?!”
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads at me with confused eyes.
“Did it run here on its own?” I said angrily.
When the crowd saw me angry, none of them dared to make a sound, and Chen Zhuo stepped forward, wearing a large robe. Although it was a warm day, she always said that she was very cold, so the robe didn’t leave her body. Even if I called everyone over urgently today, she didn’t forget to put on her robe.
“Princess, please calm your anger. Perhaps these flowers are wild? When this servant entered the mansion, I could already see the flower inside. I wonder, why is the princess so angry? ” Chen Zhen asked.
Hearing her say this, I had some impression, as if I had seen her in the back garden or the bamboo garden on the west side, but when she grew up outside Zhao’er’s bedroom window, I could not tell.
If I wasn’t worried about the grass and almost fainting just now, I might not have known that the fragrance of the flower mixed with the aroma of the mosquito repellent could produce a poison that could cause people to fall asleep. If I hadn’t been more vigilant, Zhao’er’s life would have been in danger when dawn arrived! I let out a long sigh, still scared, still scared.
When the fragrance of the flower was mixed with the mosquito repellent, it could hypnotize people, and had the same effect as the spirit-calming pill. When the fragrance of the flower was fused with the mosquito repellent, it could hypnotize people, and had the same effect as the spirit-calming pill.
“So that’s how it is. No wonder the princess is so angry. This servant will immediately remove all of the Evening Fragrance Jade in the mansion.” Hearing this, Doggie rolled up his sleeves and prepared to leave.
“It’s deep into the night now, so I can’t see clearly. I’ll pull it out tomorrow. You should bring a lantern with you and clean up the Evening Fragrance Jade in the Yuanxin Pavilion.” I said.
Doggie brought along a few bodyguards and searched the Yuanxin Pavilion repeatedly. Any flowers or plants that seemed to be made from the jade of the night were all removed, and they all went to hell for a night’s rest.
The next day, Yang Guang found out and also ordered the entire palace, and even the palace, not to plant the evening joss stick.
After seeing Zhao’er recover, under my meticulous care, she gradually recovered her strength. Her face also turned rosy, and she felt gratified and guilty. Because I wasn’t meticulous enough, my son suffered for many days.
Zhao’er’s body gradually recovered. Yang Guang’s inauguration ceremony had already been prepared. On this day, I was at the window teaching Zhao’er how to “face the sky”. Ah He rushed over and said in a low voice:
“Why is the Empress so free?” If you don’t continue acting now, I’m afraid your position as Empress will change! ”
I raised my head. I was a little astonished, but I wasn’t too surprised as I slowly said.
“How could the position of Empress be half as important to me as Zhao’er?”
