Chapter 192: Failure of Calculation
Chapter 192: Failure of Calculation
Concubine Xu quietly made a gesture, thinking that she would quickly let the prepared wasps fly over, so that she could then cause an abortion and bite Bai Hao to death. Wasn't it said that her life might be in danger? Then for Bai Hao's life, Bai Zhaozhao, a master of medicine, would definitely save her life, right?
Haha, maybe he was even asking her to let Bai Hao go!
Sure enough, before they had walked far, the hornets began to buzz over. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, the Commander of the Cavalry quickly ordered his men to surround the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xu.
Unexpectedly, Bai Hao flew directly into the middle of the large group of hornets at this time. The sword in his hand was like flowers scattered by a fairy, extremely fast. Then, one hornet after another fell to the ground.
There was a flash of shock in the eyes of the cavalry commander. Having high martial arts skills is one thing, but having superb skills is another.
Everyone looked at Bai Hao's effortless figure with different expressions.
Just as the hornets around him disappeared, Bai Hao suddenly changed the tip of his sword and threw it not far from the Queen Mother, just cutting the last hornet in half.
The crisis is over, and not a single one is left.
Concubine Xu obviously didn't expect such a turn of events. Not even a wasp flew in front of her. How could she fall? How could she have a miscarriage?
And Bai Hao, she didn't even know about such high martial arts! The Bai family is really full of talents. It seems that Master Guiyuan's prediction was correct. I should have tried to find a way to get married, but now... one wrong step leads to another!
Bai Hao looked calm and bowed, saying, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I don't know what kind of peach blossoms are beautiful, so I didn't really pick any. Instead, I went to the Zen room to find a young master and asked him to trim a peach blossom. He said that these peach blossoms are cleaned and prepared to be given to pilgrims."
Everyone:! ! !
Since the monks have already dealt with it, how could there be any remnants of a hornet's nest?
The Queen Mother was surprised and asked, "You mean to say that the peach blossoms you picked are okay?"
Bai Hao said calmly: "My Queen Mother, if the Commander-in-Chief says there is a problem, then there must be a problem. We can find out by searching Captain Yang's body!"
Captain Yang was the one who had accused Bai Hao before.
He immediately exploded: "What does Captain Bai mean by this? You know whether you did anything or not. What does it have to do with others? Maybe you were the one who planted the remains of this hornet's nest, and then you showed off in front of the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother probably understood that this scene was not an accident, but she was in no mood to watch them bicker: "Come here, search them both separately."
The cavalry commander immediately took the order and called two lieutenants over. When he was about to take Bai Hao and Captain Yang away, Bai Hao saw a hint of fearlessness in Captain Yang's eyes and directly raised an objection: "Master, can you change two people?"
The cavalry commander was stunned. Did Bai Hao mean that the two lieutenants would be partial to each other? These were his confidants. If he really replaced them, wouldn't it mean that he also suspected the lieutenants?
But if he didn't change, what would he do if he was right? Would he still want a confidant who had ulterior motives? Moreover, Bai Hao had a background, so he probably wouldn't let it go.
Just as he was hesitating, Concubine Xu spoke up: "Empress Dowager, why don't we hurry back to the palace? Let the Chief Inspector investigate this matter slowly."
The Queen Mother glanced at her, doubtful, but still gave her face: "Okay! Go back to the palace and check again."
The cavalry lieutenant commander took the order again, waved his hand and asked the deputy general to withdraw and prepare to return to the palace, while Captain Yang was overjoyed.
Bai Hao understood that this was the Queen Mother's intention to help Concubine Xu to settle the matter peacefully, and that it would be left unresolved after returning to the palace.
Bai Zhaozhao and Li Rongyue also knew the truth and hid in a peach tree not far away.
"Does the county lady want to get to the bottom of this matter?"
"Do you have any idea?"
"Of course!"
"it is good!"
The convoy set off slowly. Bai Hao still led the way with a few captains, but this time he received several pairs of admiring eyes.
When they were halfway through the journey, Captain Yang's body became more and more itchy. He could not stand it any longer, so he quietly unbuckled his belt and reached out to scratch it.
Suddenly, some debris fell off his body and people around saw it.
Including the Chief Consul.
Captain Yang turned pale and was about to argue when Bai Hao mocked him, "Oh, Captain Yang, this is called confessing without being asked! The Commander-in-Chief didn't even bother to search him!"
The officer was speechless. He thought that Concubine Xu had saved his life and nothing would be found out after returning to the palace. But he blew himself up!
How did such a stupid person become a thousand households?
"Come here, tie him up and hand him over to the Royal Guards after returning to the palace."
"Yes!" Bai Hao responded immediately and quickly covered Yang Qianhu's mouth.
Everyone:...
There was some commotion here, so the Queen Mother sent someone over to inquire. After learning the result, she just replied, "I know." It seems that this is God's will!
This time, Concubine Xu did not stay with the Empress Dowager, but sat alone in the carriage at the back. Today's running around made her very tired, so she fell asleep, but of course, she did not sleep well.
Bai Zhaozhao's mouth twitched in the distance: "So your good method is the itching powder?"
Li Rongyue smiled and said, "Isn't it very useful? I have been carrying the gift given by the county lady with me all the time."
Bai Zhaozhao was silent. Why do I need you for this? She has plenty in her space. If you weren't next to her, she would have taken it out long ago.
"Why? The county lady is not satisfied?"
"No, I'm satisfied, thank you!"
"Since you're going to thank me, why not buy me some tea?"
"Can you ask me again?"
"Is the county lord satisfied?"
"It's OK, but I'm not satisfied!"
"..."
After returning to the palace, Captain Yang was taken away by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Bai Hao received a little reward from the Empress Dowager for the first time in his life, and ran to find Lin Anhe to show off.
After Concubine Xu found out about this, she became extremely angry and had unbearable abdominal pain, and she immediately started bleeding. Doctor Wei was well prepared and quickly fed her a bowl of abortion medicine.
However, Concubine Xu's condition was very bad. Doctor Wei was unsure, so when he sent someone to inform the emperor, he directly said that her life was at stake.
When the emperor found out, he rushed over and heard Concubine Xu's cries of pain inside.
Princess Changxing came to the interrogation and knelt before Emperor Yongkang and said, "Father, please ask Princess Zhaohe to come and see my mother! She knows medical skills and she is very good!"
Emperor Yongkang was surprised for a moment, then he scolded: "Nonsense! Doctor Wei is an expert in this area, who is better than him?"
Princess Changxing refused to get up: "No, father, I think Princess Zhaohe can definitely save mother! Please, let Princess Zhaohe come over!"
"Alright! Even if Zhaohe knows medical skills, she is not as good as the imperial physician. You were hostile to Zhaohe before. Even if I let her come, how can you really feel at ease?" After a pause, Emperor Yongkang ordered: "Go and invite the director of the hospital!"
"Yes!"
Princess Changxing had to give up after hearing this. She knew that Lord Yuanzheng was over sixty years old and his medical skills were obvious to all. Now, except for the emperor, he rarely treated anyone and mainly took apprentices.
An hour later, Concubine Xu's cries stopped and the director of the courtyard came out.
Emperor Yongkang asked, "How is the imperial concubine?"
The court official said expressionlessly, "The imperial concubine has had a miscarriage, and there is nothing to worry about for the time being."
Emperor Yongkang heaved a sigh of relief: "After all, the imperial concubine is old, and it is normal for her to have a miscarriage."
