MTL - Little Cardamom-Chapter 53

In the middle of the night, the moon is melting, the stars are dotted, and the candles in the Chunxing Pavilion are also brightly lit.

When Ming Tan found out that what he had thought was an oolong, he felt a little embarrassed after his heart was settled. But she didn't embarrass herself in front of Jiang Xu once or twice, and now she can handle it with ease.

A few moments after she hiccupped her tears, she immediately frowned and covered her lower abdomen, laying on Jiang Xu's shoulder, and said angrily, "Husband, it hurts so much, Ah Tan's stomach hurts so much."

Although she was changing the subject, Ming Tan didn't lie, her stomach was still throbbing and aching.

Jiang Xu didn't know how to appease her, so he just patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her unskillfully: "Be patient."

Fortunately, the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Feng was finally decocted and brought in. The medicine was warm, and brown sugar should have been put in it, it was sweet. Jiang Xu patiently fed him spoonfuls, Ming Tan was also obedient, and didn't resist at all.

It's just that, as the doctor Feng said, colic varies from person to person, and Mingtan did not show signs of relief after drinking it for a long time.

Su Xin fed Pozi Tang again and brought it in, Jiang Xu took it, and according to Su Xin's words, put it on Ming Tan's lower abdomen through the inner garment.

But using Mrs. Tang in this hot day, Ming Tan sweated more and more. It was just pain, but now there was a lot of heat. She felt as uncomfortable as a sick kitten, her lips were pale, and she could only curl up softly in Jiang Xu's arms. middle.

I don't know if it was retribution for changing the subject of the stomach pain just now or what, after a long time, she still felt that the stomach pain became more frequent and severe.

"Husband, Ah Tan really hurts." She couldn't help crying out aggrieved.

Jiang Xu hugged her tightly, put his chin against her head, gently rubbed her hair, and comforted her unnaturally: "Be good, don't cry."

"Husband, can you just knock A Tan unconscious, so that there will be no pain."

Not to mention, Jiang Xu really thought about it seriously.

But soon Ming Tan choked again and said: "Forget it, it hurts to be knocked out, if you don't faint after one blow, it's too much suffering... Does your husband know acupuncture points? Are there any acupuncture points that can make you faint with just one tap? "

Yes, there are, but the acupuncture points that can make people fall into drowsiness immediately are very dangerous.

Jiang Xu didn't know what to think of, and suddenly put her on the couch, lowered the curtain, and summoned Imperial Physician Feng to come in.

"Prince doctor, the concubine's abdominal pain has not been relieved yet, can I take medicine or give acupuncture to make her fall asleep?" he asked.

Ming Tan added in a low voice in the tent like a little pitiful: "Don't give needles, it's very painful."

"This..." Physician Feng thought for a while, "This disease should be relieved rather than blocked. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to use random medicine. In this way, I will reduce the dosage and prepare a dose of soothing soup for the princess, so as to help the princess fall asleep as soon as possible. What does the prince think?" ?”

Now there is no other way.

Jiang Xu nodded in agreement.

Imperial Physician Feng hurriedly bowed and resigned, and went to prescribe prescriptions for Ming Tan.

After a while, the calming soup came, and Ming Tan drank the bowl of soothing soup that the imperial physician personally stared at, but she was not so relieved yet, and she wanted to go to the toilet, after all, the soup was full of water. Several bowls.

So Jiang Xu carried her to the couch again.

Jiang Xu wanted to carry her directly to the toilet, but Ming Tan was afraid of embarrassment, so he almost lost his voice, and refused to let her go. He only asked the maid to help her, and walked to the toilet with difficulty.

In her situation, going to the toilet is also very troublesome, she has to endure the pain to change the menstrual belt, and insist on cleaning her hands and face.

After all the tossing, it was almost three o'clock when I returned to the bed.

Fortunately, Ming Tan's lower abdominal cramps eased a little, and he finally felt a little drowsy.

Mrs. Tang was already cold, and she refused to let her drink any more, saying that she was too hot, so she only moaned and asked Jiang Xu to warm her with his hands. Help A Tan rub his stomach, okay?"

Jiang Xu was responsive at this moment, kissed her on the brow and eyes, and patiently helped her rub her belly.

"Okay, go to sleep." His voice was low, and there was a rare gentleness in his voice.

Ming Tan felt that the pain in her lower abdomen was gradually disappearing, and her consciousness was also slowly disappearing.

When Ming Tan fell into a deep sleep, Jiang Xu slowed down rubbing his stomach. He looked at Ming Tan in his arms, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but his expression was much softer than usual.

That night, no one in Chunxing Pavilion fell asleep, and the nobleman of Fengzhixuan also didn't close their eyes all night.

She only had quarrels with Princess Dingbei during the day, and at night Princess Dingbei suffered from abdominal cramps and was suspected of being poisoned, how dare she close her eyes? If she was really poisoned, wouldn't everyone be the first to suspect her? !

So here comes the question, is someone trying to use her name to get rid of Princess Dingbei, or is someone trying to make this happen deliberately to put the blame on her?

Who is the one? Queen? Concubine Lan? Or did Princess Dingbei sing a play by herself?

Since she was poisoned, she naturally had to find out where the poison came from, so she shouldn't have been planted with nails here, hiding the poison in the house in advance so that when someone comes to search, she can catch someone and get it, right?

Thinking of this in the middle of the night, Mr. Jia couldn't sit still, turned upside down the Fengzhixuan where he lived overnight, and even brought many servants into the house for interrogation.

This busy work has been busy until dawn, but there is no result from the busy work. Mrs. Jiagui is pregnant, her eyes are black and blue, she is very tired, and she really can't hold on.

Just at this time, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Dingbei was not poisoned last night, it seems that she... ate some iced lychees and got upset."

"..."

Jiagui's hand supporting his forehead slipped, and after a long while, his eyes became dull, and he asked slowly: "What did you say? Frozen lychee, stomach upset?"

"yes."

For some reason, Mrs. Jia rolled her eyes and passed out from anger.

Not only Jiagui knew about Ming Tan's trouble, but everyone else also knew about it. After all, Yongchun Garden is so big, and everyone is paying attention, so they can't hide it if they want to.

Ming Tan now feels very regretful in his heart, and has no face to go out.

Back then, Liang Jiaming, Chu Fengzhao and Yongle's designs failed to destroy her reputation that she had carefully maintained for more than ten years, but now she accidentally planted it on a few ice lychees! She felt like she was about to suffocate just thinking about being talked about behind her back that Princess Dingbei could eat a lychee and someone would assassinate her!

The only good news is that no one dared to discuss it in front of her.

Having no face to go out these few days, Ming Tan had to stay in the Spring Star Pavilion and embroidered the sachet for Jiang Xu that he had agreed upon earlier.

No matter how delicate the sachet is, it doesn't take much time to make it. After embroidering the sachet, Ming Tan had nothing to do. exercise.

Earlier, she promised Jiang Xu that she would learn archery, but it was one thing to promise, and another to learn it. She hid herself from laziness, pretended to sleep today, and couldn't get up tomorrow, so she dragged herself to Yongchun Garden and didn't go again Pass the martial arts arena in Fuchu.

This time she was on a whim, and she was afraid that Jiang Xu would think that she was unwilling to teach her archery again and again, so she sold the colic in the lower abdomen and offered bribes with carefully sewn sachets. Of course, the result was very smooth. Jiang Xu agreed to the matter again.

Although there is no martial arts arena in Chunxing Pavilion, there is a bamboo forest behind it. Jiang Xu asked someone to set up an archery target in the open space in the forest, and specially ordered someone to send her a small bow that was custom-made for her before.

As the saying goes, if a worker wants to benefit from his work, he must first sharpen his weapon. Jiang Xu thinks this way, and Ming Tan thinks the same way, but her sharp weapon is not the bow, but the archery suit.

After she decided to learn archery, she leaned over the table and drew a picture of Zhang Xue's archery clothes, marked the color matching clothes on the side one by one, and sent someone to Jinxiu workshop in a hurry.

Jinxiufang also lived up to her expectations, and within two days, a learning archery uniform that was exactly the same as the picture she drew came out.

After Ming Tan changed into it, she was very satisfied: "Husband, does it look good? Doesn't Ah Tan look very heroic in this dress!" She held up the skirt and spun around in front of Jiang Xu, her eyes bright and her teeth shining brightly.

Jiang Xu: "..."

Ming Tan also said: "I also asked someone to make a pair of small boots, but they haven't been delivered yet. If I put on the small boots, this body will be more perfect, and it will definitely look better by then!"

"Archery lies in posture, strength, and accuracy, not clothes." Jiang Xu couldn't help reminding.

"No, Ah Tan thinks that it's important to have a good posture and strength, but it's also important to have a suit of neat clothes."

"What's important?"

"The important thing is to be in a good mood." Ming Tan said confidently, "Archery and war are actually the same thing. When you lead the army into battle, my husband, don't you need to boost morale first? Although Ah Tan doesn't know the art of war, he also knows that morale is not good. The key to winning a war is the same, the interest and enthusiasm in learning archery is also the key to achieving remarkable results in learning archery. Wearing clothes that make you feel happy and learning archery full of energy will not make you get twice the result with half the effort?"

"..."

There are so many fallacies.

Jiang Xu didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he took a step outside first, and Ming Tan hurriedly followed.

Walking all the way to the bamboo forest, Jiang Xu handed the small bow to Ming Tan, planning to teach her the correct archery posture first.

Ming Tan reached out to catch it, but as soon as she took it, she was almost staggered forward by the small bow, and had to use both hands to stabilize it.

"Why is it so heavy?"

Ming Tan was startled, seeing the delicate and delicate bow, the weight was really beyond her understanding.

She was startled for a while, then looked at the normal-sized bow and arrow Jiang Xu was holding in one hand: "Husband, is yours heavy too?"

Jiang Xu didn't speak, and handed the bow to her directly.

Mingtan held the small bow just now with both hands, and she could still hold it, but Jiang Xu's bow was so heavy that she felt that she could hold it tightly, so she hurriedly returned it.

Ming Tan really didn't expect it, she thought that she would shoot empty or could not shoot at all, but she never expected that she couldn't even hold the bow, even holding it! No! rise! Come!

The atmosphere froze suddenly.

Jiang Xu actually thought that she was weak, but he didn't expect that she was so weak that he had to use two hands to support the small bow and arrow.

Ming Tan coughed, and tried hard to hold the small bow with one hand. She could hold it, but she could only hold it by her side and couldn't lift it up at all. She tried to lift her arm a few times until it reached Half of the arm is so sore.

Ming Tan has some doubts about life: "Husband, why don't we start today and take a rest...?"

Jiang Xu: "..."

Her plausible fallacies just now are still in my ears.

Of course, Ming Tan will not forget what she said just now, her face became hot for a while, and she said in embarrassment: "My husband, you should practice by yourself, Ah Tan will go to have some breakfast first, maybe it is useless to eat, the body No energy."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and hurried back, covering her face, muttering in her heart: I've lost my life, I've lost my life.

At this moment, a small snake suddenly sprang out from the bamboo gap in front of it, and moved nearly ten feet away.

Ming Tan was afraid of snakes, so before his legs went limp and screamed, a flash of sword light flashed in front of his eyes, Jiang Xu moved to Yi Ying and approached him, and slashed seven inches with his sword at a speed so fast that he couldn't see clearly. , the sword fell back and was inserted on the ground in front of Ming Tan, the blade was still shaking.

"Non-toxic, don't worry. But don't come to the bamboo forest alone on weekdays."

Ming Tan was indeed frightened, but staring at the sword, for some reason, she suddenly remembered a few conversations with Jiang Xu when she entered the garden a few days ago:

"Husband, can you play the flute?"

"No, but this king knows how to sword." "Don't you think that playing the piano while dancing with the sword is also considered as husband and wife harmony?"

"Then, being able to sword and being able to dance with a sword seem to be different things."

At that time, she followed the Huatou and didn't think there was anything wrong, but now when she saw the sword, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

How did the husband know that she felt that playing the piano and playing the piano together during the sword dance can also be considered as husband and wife harmony? If I remember correctly, she seems to have only made a wish in Lingmiao Temple.
