Chapter 159 Glutinous Rice Balls
Chapter 159 Glutinous Rice Balls
"Because Chu Fengque is very dangerous."
I suddenly thought of something. Why did Chu Fengque die in his previous life? If Yun Hance had not intervened and the emperor was critically ill, with Xiao Jue's methods, he would not have kept a child that the emperor loved very much in the capital. Moreover, the child's mother once helped the emperor regain power. She was definitely not an ordinary woman.
Unless... Chu Fengque in his previous life was not dead, but just left the capital, a place of trouble?
"In the previous life, Chu Fengque was also sent out of the capital? He didn't die?"
Yun Hance held my hand and said, "No, he was indeed dead in his previous life. He was assassinated by Xiao Jue."
I am thankful that in this life, many things can be changed: "So it's Prince Yongping this time?"
Yun Hance nodded: "It's him. He wants to fight for the throne, and all threats will be eliminated one by one by him. Chu Fengque is deeply loved by the emperor, and Chu Fengque has the Bu family and the eldest princess as his mother. If he is not eliminated as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles in the future."
As I expected, every dynasty, the succession of the throne was always accompanied by bloodshed.
"Are Chu Fengque and Master safe?"
"Well, I have arranged people to leave Beijing tonight." Yun Hance looked at me. I wanted to see my master, but when I thought about it, at this critical moment, I decided not to meet him. If someone found out, my master and Chu Fengque would be in danger.
"What about Miaomiao? Should I talk to her about it? I'm afraid she's upset."
Yun Hance refused without any hesitation: "After all, Prince Zhenbei and Lan are her parents. If she lets it slip, not only will Chu Fengque be in danger, but the princess will also be exposed, and our situation will be very unfavorable."
"Princess?" I frowned.
Yun Hance curled his lips and said, "Yes, I was the one who spread the news that Chu Fengque was killed by me, so that Prince Yongping would believe that the Princess and the Bu family would be irreconcilable with me. Prince Yongping looked down on me because I had no one to use, but he didn't know that this was all a trap."
Seeing how confident he was, I felt much more at ease.
It was dinner time and Yun Hance had not come back yet. I had no appetite for dinner alone. After eating a few bites of tofu, I couldn't help but feel my stomach churning. A sour taste came from my throat. I couldn't help but run to the side and vomited a mouthful of sour water without warning. I was vomiting all over the place and felt a headache. Qinxian and Xiaohui were on my left and right, and I forced them to stand not far away.
Xiao Hui asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay? Did you have a stomachache?"
Qin Xian also started to panic: "Princess, let me feel your pulse."
I took a break from my busy schedule and held out my hand to her: "Don't come over, I didn't... wow..."
Qin Xian saw that I couldn't even utter a complete sentence and didn't dare to come over. Yun Hance wasn't at home, so she didn't know what to do.
Xiaohui came over in a few steps. I was vomiting and drooling at the moment. I looked so horrible. I never vomited like this even when I was pregnant in my previous life.
Xiaohui took out a handkerchief to wipe my mouth: "As soon as the prince left, you secretly ate so many candied haws. You must have eaten something that upset your stomach."
I just wiped my mouth clean, but I couldn't help wanting to vomit again. Xiaohui rubbed my back, and Qinxian had mustered up the courage to come over. One hand was already on my pulse: "Princess, your pulse is normal, and the child is healthy. Why are you vomiting?"
I retracted my hand. Perhaps I had vomited out everything in my stomach, so at this moment, I just felt very hungry and didn't want to vomit anymore.
I stood up and said, "I'll go rinse my mouth and then clear the food. I can't eat anything."
Xiao Hui disagreed immediately: "Girl, you still have a baby in your stomach. You just vomited it all up, and there's nothing in your stomach. You should just hold back and eat a little."
I held my forehead and said, Xiaohui, Xiaohui, I have wanted to sell you out for a long time, why are you still here?
"Princess, Qinxian's medical skills are not good enough. Why don't you take the prince's token and ask the palace doctor Zhang to take a look at you?"
I was speechless. I couldn't say that this was a normal phenomenon when pregnant. Although I had been pregnant in my previous life, this was my first child in this life.
I thought about it and immediately made up a lie: "Don't worry, I have a cousin who vomited everything she ate when she was pregnant. This is normal."
Qinxian's eyes rolled around, and he seemed a little worried, but I couldn't stand the sour taste in my mouth.
"Xiao Hui, hurry up and get me some water so I can rinse my mouth."
Xiaohui immediately ran to get me some water.
After I rinsed my mouth, I felt very hungry again. The longer I sat, the hungrier I became, so I decided to walk around.
So I saw a little girl in pink sitting on the steps in the pavilion by the lake, showing off like crazy...candied haws, the same candied haws target that I bought, and the candied haws target was still leaning against the corner of the pavilion.
I walked over and saw a bowl of glutinous rice ball soup on the ground. She was leaning against the pavilion pillar with a string of candied haws in one hand. I couldn't help but sit down next to her.
When Yun Meng saw me, her eyes lit up instantly: "Princess, if you don't eat this candied haws, it will be gone."
I looked at the bare target in shock. When I bought this target of candied haws, there were at least fifty or sixty strings. I probably ate five, six, seven or eight strings, so she ate more than forty strings in the whole afternoon.
Is this thing so delicious? If I wasn't pregnant, I wouldn't like to eat this at all, it's too sour and too sweet.
"Very...delicious? This one?"
Yunmeng took a bite and passed it to me: "Doesn't the princess like it? Didn't the princess eat it this afternoon?"
I looked at the red candied haws, which were covered with a thick layer of sugar coating and looked very sweet.
I didn't open my mouth, just because I had no appetite after watching it all. This nausea came all of a sudden. I was fine in the afternoon, but now as soon as it got dark, I had no appetite for anything.
"I won't eat anymore. It looks a bit unappetizing."
Yun Meng frowned and looked at me incomprehensibly: "It? No appetite?"
I was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and asked, "Do you like sweet food?"
Yunmeng scooped a spoonful of glutinous rice balls and handed it to me: "Well, I almost starved to death. So it's especially delicious. This glutinous rice ball is really delicious, you try it."
I took a look at the white and tender glutinous rice balls in the bowl. I was afraid that if I refused her, she would be discouraged, so I took a small bite. Seeing me eat, she was also very happy and took a big sip herself. "Alas, when I was seven years old, there was a flood in my hometown. My family fled all the way south. Along the way, some family members died of illness or starvation. I was like a little beggar at that time, begging everywhere for a bite of food. Most of the time, I would be beaten and driven out of the house, but in order to survive, I had to continue this life every day. Sometimes I couldn't eat a meal for two days."
I didn't expect that she, who looked lively and cheerful with a bright smile, actually had such a past.
"In the winter, people often froze to death because they had no clothes to wear. But fortunately, I was lucky enough to have survived for a year. I don't know when that kind of life would end. Fortunately, I was young. A young lady who fled with me at that time had a miserable life. Those beggars didn't treat her as a human being at all. They often pressed on her and bullied her day and night." I clenched my fists tightly. At that time, they had no home, no relatives, and were barely alive. Even their last dignity was torn apart.
"Finally, the young lady couldn't stand it anymore. She found a tile from somewhere and took advantage of the beggar's inattention to poke out one of his eyes with it. Before the beggar could vent his anger, the young lady slashed her own neck with the tile."
I couldn't help but exclaim, this girl has such a noble character.
"Later, I continued to beg as usual every day. If I met a generous beggar and gave him some food, the copper coins would be snatched away by other strong beggars. I wanted to resist, but I was powerless."
