Chapter 372: 372 stable woman
Chapter 372 Chapter 372 Stable Po
Chu Qianhuang suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.
She felt that she had no strength in her body, and she didn't even have the strength to sit up. She just stared at the gauze above, breathing rapidly.
"Hoo-, hoo-"
Her heart was beating wildly and disorderly in her chest, as if it was about to burst out of her chest.
She once again felt the chill that reached her bones during the day, and her whole body felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Hahaha…"
She suddenly opened her mouth and laughed, her laughter filled with madness, weirdness and sadness.
Her time travel is a joke!
Because of the long dream she had when she first traveled across time, she firmly believed in everything in the dream and put herself in the shoes of Jiang Minshan's daughter.
She felt that Shen Zhi was a bad person and insisted on marrying Chu Lingxiao, breaking up the lovers Chu Lingxiao and Jiang Minshan. It was Shen Zhi who forced Jiang Minshan to become a concubine.
If it weren't for Shen Zhi, she wouldn't be reduced to the eldest daughter of a concubine. She should have been the eldest daughter of the Chu family!
She thought that Jiang Minshan was innocent, that Jiang Minshan was a concubine out of necessity, because her love was taken away from her;
She told herself that Jiang Minshan did not exchange the two baby girls, and Chu Lingxiao did everything;
She even gave Jiang Minshan a reason, thinking that her indifference towards Shen Qianchen was just because Shen Qianchen was not her biological daughter...
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Chu Qianhuang laughed even more crazily and horribly.
She believed that Jiang Minshan was the biological mother of the original owner, so she blindly made many excuses for Jiang Minshan to beautify her image, while ignoring many obvious things!
Reality slapped her **** the face, hard and solid.
She felt hot pain on her face.
She felt that her busy life in the past year or so was like a mental illness.
Why did she travel to this world?
She originally thought that she came with a mission, to change the fate of the original owner, and to avenge the original owner.
But in the end, it was Jiang Minshan who killed the original owner.
Chu Qianhuang fell completely into a confused and depressed mood. At this moment, she didn't even know whether to scold herself for being stupid or to hate Jiang Minshan for being sinister...
She opened her eyes blankly, never falling asleep again, and didn't notice that the sky outside became hazy and bright.
I don’t know how long it took, but a loud rooster crow came from outside, breaking the silence of dawn.
After a while, it became noisy outside the house.
Several chamberlains came over to invite the queen, concubines and princesses to mourn the emperor Daxing in the mourning hall. After a sparrow-like chirping sound, the outside fell silent.
No one came to invite Chu Qianhuang. She had no title or order. With her status, she was not qualified to mourn Emperor Daxing.
It seemed that Chu Qianhuang was the only one left in the entire Fengluan Palace.
The concubines and princesses all went to the Yangxin Hall to mourn Emperor Daxing. Everything was the same as the previous few days, just like a routine. There was no sadness in these cries, only confusion and confusion about the future. perturbed.
Seven days after the funeral, the coffin of Emperor Daxing was buried in the imperial mausoleum. The funeral was very simple, far inferior to the funeral of the late emperor, but no one cared about this, not even the queen raised any objections to it.
In just seven or eight days, everything in the court had stabilized.
The four city gates of the capital were opened wide, and normal order and traffic were restored. However, the gates were all handled by Xuan Jiajun himself, and the inspection of people and officials entering and exiting the city was stricter than before.
In addition, it is the period of national mourning. Restaurants, theaters, brothels, etc. are all closed to welcome guests. The mansions of noble court officials are also afraid to entertain guests. Basically, 70% to 80% of the houses in the streets and alleys of the capital are closed. Opening the door, there was an indescribable depression in the atmosphere.
However, Shen Qianchen was not affected at all.
At this moment, Shen Qianchen was talking to Queen Mother Yin in Shouning Palace: "Queen Mother, how did you sleep last night?" Shen Qianchen was also worried that Queen Mother Yin would not adapt to the sudden change of environment.
"I am now fat and generous, so of course I sleep well." Queen Mother Yin smiled.
She didn't feel the slightest bit sad about Gu Lang's death. Originally, she and Gu Lang didn't have much of a mother-child relationship, and they were more like enemies.
Queen Mother Yin did not return to the palace until the day before yesterday. She still ignored everything and did not interfere in the funeral of Emperor Daxing from beginning to end. How she lived in the palace before, how she still lives now.
Gu Lang has been buried, and there are no mournful cries in the palace today. Empress Dowager Yin feels that it is much quieter all of a sudden.
After Queen Mother Yin took a sip of Longjing, she said again: "Qianchen, this palace needs to be reorganized."
The personnel in the palace are too complicated and intertwined. It is not possible to evacuate all the palace people at once, but if we ignore it, hidden dangers will be buried, like a festering sore.
Shen Qianchen smiled heartily and said: "I thought, let them take away all the people the concubines usually use, and keep the others for use first. If there are any nails or nails, we can slowly pull them out."
Anyway, she has time, so don't rush and take your time.
Queen Mother Yin couldn't help but laugh.
As a daughter-in-law, at such a young age, she does things openly and informally, which reminded Queen Mother Yin of an old saying: If a bird does not fly, it will soar into the sky; if it does not sing, it will become a blockbuster.
If Shen Qianchen takes action, it must be bold and resolute!
Queen Mother Yin said jokingly: "I see that your behavior is not like your mother's. Who did you learn it from?"
She was just teasing the little girl, but she didn't want the little girl to answer seriously: "Your Majesty!"
Queen Mother Yin was stunned and didn't react at first. After being stunned for a while, she realized that Shen Qianchen was saying that she learned from Gu Jue.
Queen Mother Yin was amused and burst into laughter, with tears oozing from the corners of her eyes.
She thought about it and felt that it made sense. Her daughter-in-law's behavior was very similar to her son's.
"Then is it called red when it is close to vermillion, or black when it is close to ink?" Queen Mother Yin asked deliberately.
Shen Qianchen smiled slyly: "Mother, you should ask your son this question."
Queen Mother Yin was amused again, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed happily.
Grandma He was watching this scene from the side and also smiled, feeling as if she was in another world. It’s only been a year and it feels like everything has turned upside down.
After laughing for a while, Queen Mother Yin continued to talk about business: "I'm thinking of simply moving Gu Lang's concubines to Huifu Garden to guard his mausoleum." Queen Mother Yin said that the concubines should be the main ones. In fact, everyone knew that this was only a superficial reason for the emperor to stay in mourning at his mausoleum. In fact, it was just for the convenience of keeping an eye on these concubines.
No matter what happens in the future, these concubines staying in the palace are really a hindrance now.
"Huifu Garden is good, and it's close to the imperial mausoleum." Shen Qianchen nodded slightly.
This matter is settled.
Shen Qianchen was thinking about asking the Queen Mother Yin for a safe pulse. At this time, Jiang Yuan came in. He did not avoid the Queen Mother and directly reported: "Princess, Cheng Changshi brought someone and said he found Daping Temple. The stable woman in the past."
Shen Qianchen's eyes flashed, and Queen Mother Yin hurriedly said: "Qianchen, you can go do it yourself."
Shen Qianchen was not polite to Empress Dowager Yin and said goodbye, asking Jiang Yuan to take them to the Chunxi Palace, which was opposite Shouning Palace.
In the Chunxi Hall, he chose the east side hall, and sent away all the irrelevant people, leaving only Hu Hue to serve him.
The empty room seemed particularly quiet, and Shen Qianchen sat there in a daze.
Last year, Duke Mu's Mansion also sent people to Daping Temple to look for clues. The abbot at that time had already passed away, and they only found a Zhike monk who saw Chu Lingxiao taking away an infant.
In his thoughts, Jiang Yuan's calm voice came from outside the hall: "Come this way."
Shen Qianchen looked for the sound and saw Jiang Yuan coming in with an old woman in her sixties with gray hair. The old woman was short and fat, wearing a blue cloth that was not new. She looked very old and looked frightened. of.
Jiang Yuan introduced: "Princess, this is Liu Wenpo who delivered my wife's baby at Daping Temple in August fourteen years ago."
"See you, Princess." Liu Wenpo knelt down tremblingly, kowtowed to Shen Qianchen, not daring to look directly at Shen Qianchen's face, and her eyes fell on her moon-white embroidered shoes.
When Liu Wenpo was able to deliver the baby to the prince's wife in the Hou Mansion, she naturally had met some noble people and knew some etiquette. Although she was frightened, her etiquette was barely passable.
Jiang Yuan didn't want to waste Shen Qianchen's time and warned coldly: "Cheng Changshi has already told you what to say. You just need to tell Cheng Changshi again."
"..." Liu Wenpo, sweating like raindrops, responded obediently, her eyes filled with panic.
She already knew that the young princess in front of her was the baby girl from back then.
Liu Wenpo swallowed her saliva and started from the beginning: "Back then, Duke Mu's mansion originally arranged a Wenpo for the eldest lady, but the Marquis temporarily took the eldest lady back to his hometown for a funeral. Something unexpected happened, and the Wenpo happened to be unwell. Unwell, the wife chose a slave to follow the wife to her hometown, just in case."
"When the eldest lady was staying at Dahei Temple, she had a fetal movement and suddenly went into premature labor. It was difficult to give birth to the fetus. After giving birth to her first baby girl, the eldest lady lost strength and fainted..."
Liu Wenpo swallowed hard again, her voice getting drier and dryer.
When Shen Qianchen heard "the first baby girl", the fingers of his right hand suddenly shrank and clenched into a fist, his expression remained calm.
Liu Wenpo added: "At that time, Nanny Chen, who was beside the eldest lady, went out of the temple to find a doctor for the eldest lady. As soon as she left, the slave girl discovered that there was another baby girl in the madam's belly, and she gave birth to a second baby girl. ”
Twins? ! Shen Qianchen's pupils shrank slightly, his chest heaved, and his mind was confused.
She took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask herself: Can twins be diagnosed based on their pulses?
It was possible, but even she wasn't completely sure.
Moreover, in the early stages of pregnancy, the pulse is generally not obvious. It will not become obvious until before delivery, and ordinary doctors may not be able to diagnose it. Therefore, there are many mothers who only learn from Wen Po that they are pregnant with twins when they are in labor. Originally, a woman's birth is a step into the gate of hell. Twins are far more likely to have dystocia than singles, and the mother's chance of death is also higher.
Shen Zhi suddenly gave birth prematurely in Daping Temple, which was like walking away from the gates of hell.
Shen Qianchen's eyes were slightly sour, feeling heartbroken for his mother, and his body tensed.
Liu Wenpo raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Qianchen, then lowered her eyelids, feeling even more scared and nervous.
She continued tremblingly: "The second baby girl was suffocated by amniotic fluid, her whole body was bruised, and her life was hanging by a thread. Because the abbot master knew the art of Qihuang, the Marquis took both baby girls to the abbot master... But later , and only one was brought back, the eldest girl. In fact, the Marquis did not tell the slave where he took the second girl. "
"..." Shen Qianchen clenched his right fist tighter, his eyes as deep as the abyss.
When she first heard Liu Wenpo say that she and Chu Qianhuang were twins, she thought it was possible, but she didn't want to believe it.
After all, Shen Qianchen had lived two lives and experienced many things. He quickly calmed down and thought deeply.
Liu Wenpo wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her cuffs, and then finished the last paragraph: "The Marquis did not let the slave tell the eldest lady that she actually gave birth to a pair of twins, and asked the slave to completely forget about the second girl. Afterwards, the Marquis gave the slave five hundred taels of silver as hush money. Later, about a year after the slave returned to the capital, the Marquis released the slave family. "
This matter is really of great importance. When she was found by Duke Mu's Mansion last year, she knew that she could not speak out about it even to death. If she did, it would not be a merit, but a sin. If Duke Mu's Mansion was powerful, her family would be completely ruined. , she will also offend the Yongding Hou Mansion.
However, when she was found by Prince Chen's Mansion this time, Mrs. Liu no longer dared to take any chances.
The people from Prince Chen's Mansion directly handed over her eldest grandson, who had a lot of gambling debts, to the people in the gambling house, and then the eldest grandson had one of his fingers cut off on the spot by the gambling house's thugs.
Changsun fainted from the pain, and the incision on his thumb was bleeding...
This scene is still deeply engraved in Liu Wenpo's heart.
At that time, Liu Wenpo realized that it would be over if she didn't say anything. When she arrived in the capital and was sent to the palace, the last hesitation in her heart disappeared.
If she still wanted to save the lives of her whole family, she had to tell the truth.
Her life was nothing, and she could not harm the whole family.
It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.
Back then, she was tricked into making such a huge mistake by the Marquis. She should know that the sky net is so vast that no omissions can be missed!
She has picked up these fourteen extra years for nothing.
Liu Wenpo was so weak that she almost turned into a puddle of mud. She kowtowed in fear and said: "Princess, spare your life, I have no choice but to do this! I obey the orders of the Marquis. Everything was done by the Marquis and Aunt Jiang!"
Her voice was trembling, like a broken leaf that had been knocked down by the wind and rain.
"..." Shen Qianchen's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and an icy cold flashed through his eyes.
If what Liu Wenpo said was true, then all the clues that he had previously been unable to figure out would be solved, and even Jiang Minshan's weird attitude towards Chu Qianhuang could be explained.
She was 90% sure that she and Chu Qianhuang were twins!
Neither of them is Jiang Minshan's daughter...Jiang Minshan is so vicious!
How much does Jiang Minshan hate Shen Zhi that she would set up such a trap in such a flawless manner.
