MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 52
With the king's order, Jin Yiwei fired all their firepower, and within half a day, they searched the Ruyi Square to the bottom.
Not only the Western Regions drug "Ruanqingsan" was found, but also more than ten kinds of other various aphrodisiacs.
And following this soft sentiment, it was found that seven or eight men from Rouran were actually spies, intending to extract court secrets from the noble ladies who came to patronize them and send them back to Rouran.
The matter is of great importance, and several people were immediately placed under strict surveillance in the Heavenly Prison, Ruyifang was also shut down immediately, and everyone else was detained for further investigation.
On the second day, the news spread throughout the government and the public, and the world was in an uproar.
Only then did everyone know that there was actually such a place on the ordinary Yanglou Street in the capital.
Shocked, some people scolded Rouran for being insidious and cunning; others scolded everyone in Ruyi Workshop for their moral depravity and shamelessness.
However, there are still many women who secretly wonder what Ruyi Square looks like, and whether the men in it are really more handsome than Pan An?
There are even many people who regret that they did not know earlier, so it is better to go there earlier to feast their eyes.
…
Of course, compared to the outside world, the royal family at this time are more worried about the bodies of the eldest princess and the Ankang county master.
After all, Ruanqing Powder is the top drug in the Western Regions, not to mention addictive, it will still remain in the body, lest the two of them will be difficult to quit.
Fortunately, the Ankang County Lord went back to Ruyifang for a short time, and the poison was relatively shallow. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. After some consultations by Dr. Jiang, she received acupuncture and took medicine. After three days in a row, she finally passed out. The residual poison returned to normal.
After the detoxification, the first thing Ankang county head did was to apologize to her husband.
"Ah, I'm sorry..."
The head of Ankang County shed tears before he spoke, crying until the pear blossoms were raining, "It's all my fault that I can't control myself, which caused you to lose face... I will never have that kind of thought again in the future, and I will never go to any teahouse or restaurant again." Wuwuwu, are you still willing to forgive me?"
The voice fell, but seeing her husband's complexion was tense, he didn't speak for a while.
There was a moment of despair in her heart, so she had to cry again, "If you really don't forgive me and really want to make peace with me, I will also go to ask the queen mother's order... But, what about the children... Wuwuwu..."
Before he finished speaking, he was hugged by her husband into his arms.
Yao Junliang also said with red eyes, "Nianzai County Master was murdered by others, it doesn't matter if I lose face, now the truth is revealed, and the past will never be mentioned again."
After saying that, the two hugged each other and cried, and finally reconciled as before.
On the second day, he made a special trip to the palace to thank him.
At that time, Yan Shu was paying her respects at the Ci'an Palace, and it happened that the emperor came to Ci'an Palace to convey the progress of the spies case to the Empress Dowager after the morning court, so she listened to it.
"The Ministry of Criminal Justice has found out that these spies have been in Ruyifang for half a year. It has been confirmed that they are appointed by the Rouran royal family. I have ordered Honglu Temple to write to Rouran. If there is no response, these people will be executed on the spot. .”
The queen mother nodded, and said in surprise, "These spies have been in the capital for half a year? If it weren't for the fact that Ankang and his wife started arguing this time, no one would have noticed? It's frightening to think about it. I don't know what they have done Is there any secret?"
Yu Wenlan said, "It's not too bad. In the past six months, most of the women he has contacted are merchants, and most of the people they got out of are businessmen. They wanted to contact the family members of the military generals in the court through the eldest princess. Fortunately, the eldest princess was here. There are no acquaintances among them, and the only one is the Ankang County Lord."
The queen mother said luckily, "Fortunately, Ankang is not so ridiculous, and they didn't get anything. However, these people are really too cunning, and it is really hard to guard against them."
Yu Wenlan nodded solemnly, "So, in the future, we must strictly control the activities of these alien races in the Central Plains. I have ordered the various state governments to immediately investigate the alien races in the country and grasp their whereabouts in real time."
"Your Majesty is more considerate."
The Queen Mother nodded, and asked again, "How about the other people in Ruyi Workshop?"
Yu Wenlan said again, "Don't worry, mother, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple have interrogated one by one, and most of the men among them have betrayed their appearance for money, except for using drugs on patronizing female benefactors, and some have stolen jewelry and money , No other illegal acts have been found yet, and no collusion with these spies has been found yet."
"That's fine."
The Empress Dowager sighed again, "These men really have hands and feet, why don't they go the right way? It's really embarrassing to use this method to make money."
Yu Wenlan nodded, and for a while, couldn't help but think of the experience of going to Ruyifang that night...
Geez, disgusting.
I really don't know how these men do it...
However, at this moment, I heard the queen mother tsk tsk in her heart, [I don't know what those men look like, how can they fascinate those women like that? I heard that the person who drugged the eldest princess was actually called Pan Zaian? Could it be that he really looks better than Pan An? 】
Yu Wenlan, "..."
...The queen mother is also curious about these things?
Tsk, I don't know why, although he has been a mother and son for more than 20 years, he feels that the queen mother has become more and more different recently...
At this moment, Yan Shu, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Then...how does His Majesty plan to deal with the remaining men?"
【Tsk, this time the female shopkeeper of Ruyifang will definitely be punished for luring wolves into the house. If so, Ruyifang will be closed? 】
[What about some people? 】
[Go to another place to resume your old business? 】
[I don't know where there is such a place...]
Yu Wenlan who was listening silently, "..."
Why would she care about this?
...are you planning something?
However, right after, the Queen Mother also nodded and said, "What Concubine Yi said is, how does His Majesty plan to deal with them?"
【Tsk, if you let them go, will they go back to their old jobs? Can Ruyifang open again? 】
Yu Wenlan, "???"
Why does the Queen Mother even care about this? ? ?
However, some men who are shameless and do not seek to make progress, are they so attractive to women? ? ?
He endured and endured, trying to maintain a normal expression, and said, "If they are really innocent, the court will release them. But they have hands and feet, and they are at a good age. I plan to arrange people to teach them some crafts, and I will do some more in the future." Let's do business."
Seeing Yan Shu nodded, she said, "So that's the case, Your Majesty is merciful."
But tut tut in my heart, [Then, don't those lonely rich women lose a lot of fun? Tut tut is really pitiful. Men can go to brothels, and women can also go to duck shops. There must be a place to relieve stress, right? It's not easy being a rich woman. 】
Yu Wenlan, "???"
At this time, I saw a report from the palace people outside the door, "Report to the Empress Dowager, the Ankang county master and his wife are asking to see you."
Um?
Yan Shu was taken aback, did these two come together?
Could it be a good match?
The queen mother was also concerned, and hurriedly said, "Come in."
It should be outside the door, and after a while, I saw the husband and wife stepping into the hall.
The two first saluted together, the queen mother took a look at the county magistrate of Ankang, and asked, "How are you?"
The head of Ankang County was ashamed, and he lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, the queen mother, I have recovered, but I did something wrong in a moment of confusion, which caused the queen mother and Your Majesty to worry about it, and made people laugh at me. I am really ashamed of your Majesty the Queen Mother. "
The Empress Dowager sighed, "Forget it, you were also implicated by others. Now that you can recover, Aijia and Your Majesty will be relieved. From now on, remember to be careful in everything, and don't let people be easily deceived."
As she spoke, she glanced at Yao Junliang, the husband next to her, and said, "You two, live a good life from now on."
Yao Junliang followed his wife, there was no strange expression on his face.
Seeing it in her eyes, Yan Shu couldn't help but sigh in her heart——
Looking at the situation, the two couples have reconciled, which shows that the county matriarch really loves his wife.
but…
The mana in Yao County has not been cured, and it is always a bit of a pity. Shouldn't we find a way to recommend Jiang Yuyi to him?
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Why is this girl so keen on helping people solve this kind of thing?
At this moment, the Queen Mother said, "Speaking of which, that imperial doctor that day was really skilled in medicine. I heard that there was no antidote for that medicine in the Western Regions, and he actually took it. You should thank him well."
Hearing this, Yao Junliang also nodded hurriedly and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is very true. Fortunately, I met such an imperial doctor. The minister and the county master are thinking about thanking this imperial doctor Jiang in person someday."
The Empress Dowager nodded, and said, "Why didn't you find this talent before? I heard that he is a doctor for Concubine Yi? How did Concubine Yi find out about him?"
Yan Shu, who was caught off guard by the name call, was taken aback, and could only say, "It's my concubine who was feeling unwell once, and happened to meet Doctor Jiang on duty, and my concubine took his medicine once and healed up. Excellent medical skills."
At this point, she suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly said, "By the way, Doctor Jiang has a wide range of knowledge. He can not only treat common diseases, but also many difficult and miscellaneous diseases. I heard that many people outside the palace came to him and said He sent his son Guanyin."
— Tsk, that's all she can say.
I don't know if Yaoxian Ma can hear it. Otherwise, if we continue talking, the queen mother should suspect her.
After all, Doctor Jiang is a master of andrology! ! Yaoxian Ma, hurry up and have a look! ! Look, it is conducive to family stability, harmony and happiness! !
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Really can't say more.
Afraid that she would accidentally say something else, he also said, "That's right, I've also heard about it."
After finishing speaking, he looked specifically at Yao Junliang and said, "If you have any intractable diseases, you can go to him to see."
As soon as these words came out, Yao Jun's conscience paused.
—
【Your Majesty... what does this mean? Do you already know about me... there? 】
[This, this, this... But how did His Majesty know? ? ? 】
On the face, he hurriedly replied, "Yes."
But at the side, Yan Shu saw it in her eyes, and felt strange in her heart——
The emperor's words...why do they seem to be guiding something?
Did he also know about the injury at Mali in Yao County?
But think about it, it shouldn't be!
Generally speaking, men should be very concerned about this kind of thing, so they won't let it out easily...
How did the emperor know? ? ?
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Tsk, it seems that I have to hide something from her in the future.
However... he still wants to help her?
Otherwise, when she sees Yao Junliang in the future, she will think about such things in her heart, how can it be tolerated?
~~
Compared with Ankang County Princess, the eldest princess is not so lucky.
Because of the long time spent with the Rouran agent and the many times, especially Yu Wenyan was also given several other urging drugs in addition to the Ruanqing San, so she endured nearly five days of torture before she managed to recover. some.
However, the lingering poison has not been exhausted, and her body is still weak, especially the addiction to Ruanqingsan still flares up from time to time, which caused her to suffer a lot and haggard a lot.
And because she was involved in spies, her cousin Ankang was involved, and she even almost leaked court secrets. She was convicted by the emperor, and part of her family property was fined, reducing the manpower and salary of the mansion.
It can be said that most of the princess's past glory has been cut short.
However, the emperor cared about his family affection after all, and kept her in the palace for the convenience of her treatment.
However, Yu Wenyan felt uncomfortable after all these blows, and she vented her rage all the time, throwing things, throwing bedding, and even the medicine didn't taste good.
Until the Queen Mother came to scold her.
"As a princess of a country, you have no responsibility for your family and country! You go out to cause trouble all day long, and you still resist sending someone to treat your illness! You ask yourself, can you be worthy of your Yuwen family ancestors? If you really don't want to With this surname, the Ai family will tell His Majesty for you, to remove you from the position of eldest princess, and to sever ties with you!"
After so many years, the queen mother seldom said such harsh words.
At this time, she suddenly became angry, which finally frightened Yu Wenyan.
She paused, and could only cry, "My son is just not reconciled, why is my son always let down..."
The queen mother said again, "Why are you always let down? Good question! As a princess, you go to those people who are vain, full of vanity, and don't listen to advice, can you not be deceived? That's all, this time it's because of a lowly man who came out to sell himself, an enemy spy! You see for yourself what you look like!"
As soon as the words fell, a little man suddenly ran from the door, threw himself on Yu Wenyan and started crying, "Mother is sick, grandma, don't talk about mother..."
It was Lan Yun, who was five years old.
Seeing this scene, the Empress Dowager couldn't speak harsh words for a while, and could only sigh, "Look, who cares about you now except your own flesh and blood? You ignore her for those lowly men, is it worth it?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Wenyan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears holding the little girl.
"Lan Yun, I'm sorry for your mother..."
The little man also started to cry, "Mother, you must take your medicine well, Lan Yun doesn't want to be without her mother..."
But the queen mother said again, "What's the use of saying I'm sorry? Now you should hurry up and cooperate with the imperial doctor to treat yourself properly, go back to your own place, and take good care of your daughter is the right way!"
Yu Wenyan answered yes with sobs.
~~
After returning to Ci'an Palace, the Empress Dowager's complexion softened.
Mrs. Mu is still in Ci'an Palace these few days. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help asking, "Why doesn't your empress keep Lan Yun by her side? My wife sees that Lan Yun is here these few days, and you are much more cheerful."
The queen mother snorted and said, "I have already raised a son for that man and took care of his daughter, so why should I raise his granddaughter now? Whose children will be raised by themselves. Others have done their responsibilities for them, and they will be free on their own." Let out all the moths."
There were no outsiders in the palace, and the good sisters never saw each other, so the queen mother said whatever she wanted.
Mrs. Mu nodded and sighed, "That's right, you are living a more transparent life now."
The queen mother smiled bitterly, and said, "I have lived in this wall for most of my life, if it is not transparent, I will have been suffocated to death."
However, after finishing speaking, he sighed silently——
Although many things have been cleared up, but now she still has one worry—
If the Yuwen family has no descendants, what should they do?
Not to mention Zhang Shengkang's conclusion of Yipin's pulse diagnosis in the past, it has been almost half a year since Yipin "became favored", but her stomach still hasn't moved...
This shows that the emperor really has a problem!
Although she is not the biological mother and child, she still knows a little about the child she raised.
The emperor has a deep personality and doesn't trust people easily. She really wanted to ask Zhang Shengkang to take a look, but the emperor is guarding against her now and would never ask Zhang Shengkang to get close.
Tsk, even if Yibi is used as a shield to prevent everyone's mouths, but after a long time, there will still be no dragon heirs...
Hey, I'm so sad!
Forget it, let's see how long he lasts.
~~
Yaoxian Ma is indeed a smart person, he only got a reminder from the palace in the morning, and went to visit Jiang Yuyi when there was no one in the afternoon.
It is said that doctor Jiang took his pulse immediately, looked at the injury and prescribed medicine for him. When he returned to the mansion, Yao County Ma immediately took the medicine as prescribed by the doctor, very pious.
In this way, it is estimated that it will not be long before the former glory can be revived.
After eating melons with the system, Yan Shu finally felt relieved. Immediately after, inspiration came again, and she was ready to start writing a new storybook.
Tsk, this time I will use this county horse as the prototype to write a story about an inspirational young man who has gone through all kinds of difficulties, but persists in his down-to-earth struggle, and finally embraces the beauty.
However, it was probably because she was lazy recently and didn't write much. Seeing that she wrote from the afternoon to the night, she actually wrote the beginning.
Before writing the feeling, the emperor has arrived.
...Yu Wenlan actually wanted to come tonight a long time ago.
He had no choice but to have ministers report various matters one after another, and he was busy until Xuzheng, before he was finally able to escape.
He also specially bathed and changed clothes in Qianming Palace, and with excitement and joy along the way, he eagerly took three steps in parallel.
Unexpectedly, she didn't realize until she arrived at Ganlu Hall that Yan Shu was sitting at the table thinking hard.
Yu Wenlan was taken aback, and said, "What are you doing?"
Yan Shu replied truthfully without realizing it, "The concubine wants to write a storybook, but there is something stuck."
Card plot?
This seems to be a technical term, which is somewhat incomprehensible.
But at this time Yu Wenlan was not so curious, she just persuaded, "If you really can't think of it, don't think about it, maybe rest for a night, and you can figure it out tomorrow morning."
He said again, "Come on, let's rest earlier."
He pulled her to the side of the couch.
Seeing him start to undress, looking as if he was going to bed, Yan Shu hurriedly said, "The concubine still needs to take a bath, Your Majesty, please go to bed first."
But the words just fell, before he could move, he stopped him, and said very vaguely, "It's okay if you don't take a bath..."
What moment is worth a thousand dollars?
However, Yan Shu, who was still unaware of what was about to happen, frowned and said, "No, I will feel uncomfortable if I don't bathe, Your Majesty just wait a moment."
He still insisted on going to the clean room.
Yu Wenlan couldn't hold back anymore, "..."
Why is she not in a hurry?
But well, he is the king, and he can't be too eager.
Besides, I've been waiting for so long, and it's not too late.
I had no choice but to let her go first, while I took off my clothes and got on the couch.
I don't know how long I waited, and finally saw the beauty come out of the bath, her cheeks were flushed, her skin was as snowy as snow, and she was extremely patient.
Yu Wenlan was greedy and looked at her greedily, just waiting for her to come to her arms.
Unexpectedly, she saw her unhurriedly going to comb her hair in front of the mirror again.
With one stroke, the long black hair was combed very smoothly.
He rubbed some ointment on his face and neck to make himself more fragrant than flowers.
And when she finished wiping her face and neck, she wiped her hands again.
From the back of the wrist to each finger, wipe it very carefully.
Yu Wenlan finally ran out of patience, she simply got off the bed and hugged her directly into her arms.
Yan Shu was startled, and suddenly felt dizzy, and when she realized it, she was already on the couch.
But seeing the man in front of him with deep eyes, he asked in a low voice, "Are you trying to whet my appetite?"
Yanshu, "..."
"There are no concubines."
What's not to whet your appetite?
"It's just a normal skincare routine," she said.
As she spoke, she remembered that she hadn't applied the lip balm yet, so she wanted to get out of bed again, but she didn't know that she hadn't moved yet, but she was directly hugged by him, like in her arms, and kissed...
After a long time of dizziness, I even sent out the trial word...
However, at this moment, she still hadn't reacted.
But after the kiss was over, he said to him aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, can you take a rest today? The concubine is sour..."
Tsk, looking back on the night before, it was so unfortunate that her hands were crying.
I think that what I wrote today has no hand feel, maybe it is because of excessive use of hands.
Humph.
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Only then did he realize that she had completely forgotten about her.
But it didn't matter, he remembered.
So he laughed in a low voice, "Today I promise not to ask you to be soft again."
After speaking, he asked again, and took advantage of the situation to put her on Shenxia.
It's been a long time since Miyagi and the land have been used up.
Yan Shu was still thinking, what happened tonight?
It's just an enclave, so he actually closed the mine like this?
However, until a certain moment in the summer of Binglincheng...
She finally remembered.
What, the time has come? ? ?
Wait, she's not ready yet...
However, it was too late.
…
~~
On the second day, Yan Shu slept until the sun was up.
However, when I woke up, I still felt back pain.
She seemed to have turned into a soft-legged shrimp, unable to even walk.
I had no choice but to be lazy, and asked Liandong to help her take a handkerchief to wipe her face, and put on her clothes again.
As the one serving the master in front of him, Liandong vaguely guessed what happened last night, so he only asked thoughtfully, "What do you want for breakfast, master?"
After all, I consumed too much last night, and Yan Shu was already starving, and immediately reported the name of the dish, "I want to eat shrimp dumplings, crab roe buns, beef cakes, shredded chicken wontons, and I want another plate of glutinous rice cakes with lotus seeds and black sesame seeds." paste."
Liandong was taken aback, and said, "Can you eat so much?"
Unexpectedly, the voice just fell, but a voice came from outside the hall, "There is still me if I can't eat."
Immediately afterwards, Yu Wenlan was seen stepping into the hall.
Lonicera and the others were startled, and hurriedly bowed their heads to salute.
Seeing that the king was in a good mood, he came directly to the master's bed, and asked with a smile, "I'm going to accompany you, what else do you want to eat? Just call."
Yan Shu glanced at him, but saw that the tuanlong robe on his body was in order, she couldn't help but wondered, "Did Your Majesty not go to the morning court today?"
Yu Wenlan hummed, "It's time to go to court, and I came back specially to have breakfast with you."
There is a refreshed look between the eyebrows and eyes.
After finishing speaking, he asked again, "Are those enough? Do you still want to eat?"
Yan Shu rolled her eyes, nodded and said, "Yes."
He nodded, "Then ask them to prepare."
Yan Shu said to Liandong, "One more dish of duck in soup, one dish of fried squab, one plate of cloud sliced tofu, and another dish of buttered eggplant."
Hmph, it's a major event in life, you have to eat back all the effort you put in last night.
Yu Wenlan listened to her ears and silently nodded—
Yes, last night was indeed a major event in his life.
~~
In this way, Liandong hurriedly asked someone to go to the dining room to order.
It didn't take long for the delicacies to be delivered one by one.
Yan Shu's legs were still weak and she didn't want to walk.
Yu Wenlan simply carried her to the table, and Liandong turned her head with a busy face.
Tsk tsk, your majesty wants to hug you when the master eats a meal.
It's too spoiled.
Yu Wenlan hummed silently.
Just pet it, it's his woman anyway.
In this way, the two began to eat.
Well, the outer skin of the shrimp dumpling is flexible, and the fresh shrimp inside is crispy and sweet;
Crab roe buns are so fresh that you can't speak when you bite into a bag of juice;
The beef patties and shredded chicken wontons are just what Yan Shu wants to eat. The glutinous rice cake with lotus seeds and black sesame paste is so sweet that people feel it.
Not to mention the duck in soup, stir-fried squab, cloud sliced tofu, buttered eggplant and other imperial dishes, which are naturally good and have nothing to choose.
After eating delicious food, Yan Shu was very happy, and she did not forget to pick up a shrimp dumpling for Yu Wenlan, and said, "Your Majesty, try this, it tastes really good."
Yu Wenlan hummed and tasted it.
Well, the shrimp dumplings are good.
The rare thing is that she actually took the initiative to share the delicious food with him.
Especially at this time, she wasn't trying to please him, she was asking him for something.
It seems that the last barrier has been broken, and the hearts of the two are finally getting closer.
Just as he was thinking about it, she saw that she brought him a crab roe soup dumpling, a glutinous rice cake with lotus seeds, and scooped out a bowl of sesame paste with her own hands.
"Try these again, Your Majesty."
Yu Wenlan nodded and said hello, took a sip of the sesame paste, and ate a lotus seed cake, feeling sweet to the heart.
Still sighing in my heart, overnight, she turned into a soft and considerate appearance of a good wife and mother?
Unexpectedly, she heard her say in her heart, [Forget it, since he is my man now, I should treat him better. 】
[Eat more good food, so as to achieve sustainable development. 】
Yu Wenlan, "???"
