Chapter two hundred and seventy first things are different
"Yes!" Concubine Chun echoed. She was not afraid of the death of the queen and the concubine Ling. After all, no matter who died in the palace, it would be irrelevant to her. But the key point is that if the queen and the concubine Ling lost their lives because of this, who can compete with Concubine Xian in the future? She would never have a chance to regain favor, so they cannot die.
"I'm going to see the emperor!" Concubine Jia took a deep breath and said.
"I'm with you!" Lu Yunxi was worried that Concubine Jia would go alone. After all, Jia is pregnant now, so you should be more careful.
"Two sisters, I won't go. You know, the emperor has many taboos for me!" Concubine Chun said this and looked sad.
Concubine Jia whispered: "Sister, don't be sad. There is always room for improvement in everything. You always have two princes and four princesses. The emperor will not always take it to heart, let alone... If one day the emperor learns the truth, it will no longer be the sister who suffers. Now... you have to endure everything. Sister must not lose big because of small things anymore!"
"Well, my sister is saying that I will go back to the palace first to wait for your good news!" Concubine Chun calmed down and whispered.
"Sister walk slowly!"
After Concubine Chun left, Concubine Jia went to the Yangxin Palace accompanied by Lu Yunxi.
"Emperor, Empress Jia and Concubine Lu ask for a meeting!" Wu Shulai did not dare to be negligent and immediately entered the palace to report.
"Xuan them come in!" The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and stood up, and ordered.
"Yes!" Wu Shulai ran out immediately, and in a short while, he welcomed Concubine Jia and Lu Yunxi.
"The emperor has thousands of blessings and gold anger!" The two asked quietly.
"You are pregnant now, so there is no need to be too polite!" The emperor reached out and helped Concubine Jia up, with a smile on his face, but anyone knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, even the smile was very forced.
Concubine Jia didn't dare to act rashly, and thought for a moment before saying, "Emperor, I heard that the Seventh Prince's condition has improved. The Empress and Concubine Ling are still in Changchun Palace. Can the Emperor allow them to come out and walk around!"
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "I will decide this matter!"
"Emperor, what if they stay in Changchun Palace and get infected with smallpox? The emperor should let them leave Changchun Palace!" Lu Yunxi couldn't help but say.
When Concubine Jia heard her say this, she thought to herself, if it’s not good, the emperor will definitely be angry.
But after a while, Concubine Jia did not hear the emperor scolding Lu Yunxi. She looked up and saw that the emperor looked very bad, but she was not angry either.
"Emperor, I and Concubine Lu are also worried about the Empress and Concubine Ling. Please forgive me!" Concubine Jia immediately said respectfully.
"I know, you guys retreat!" The emperor seemed a little impatient and waved his hand.
"Yes!" Seeing that Lu Yunxi was about to say something, Jiafei stopped, and was afraid that she would say disrespectful words, she dragged her out.
"Wu Shu is here, is Hu Shijie back from sending the message?" The emperor sat on the chair and asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, Hu Shijie, as the emperor ordered, guarded outside the Seventh Prince's bedroom. In the past few days, the Empress and Concubine Ling have not yet approached a single step." Wu Shulai whispered.
The emperor's face was unstable, and he said for a while: "Set up the Changchun Palace!"
"Emperor, the Empress Dowager said..." Before Wu Shulai finished speaking, he was glared at by the emperor, and the words he said were swallowed into his stomach.
After enduring for a few days, the emperor finally couldn't help it. In addition, the words of Concubine Jia and Concubine Lu just made him feel even more restless.
Now, he regards him as the heir to the throne. His favorite son Yongcong lies in the side hall of Changchun Palace and his life and death are unknown. His queen and his favorite concubine are also trapped in Changchun Palace. They are in danger at any time. How can he rest assured?
The emperor has been unable to sleep or eat these days, but he is the emperor after all, and he cannot ignore the government.
After wandering outside the Changchun Palace for a while, the emperor asked someone to open the palace gate and walk in. When the servants of the Changchun Palace saw the emperor coming in, they did not dare to move forward and knelt on the ground to salute from afar.
"Empress, the emperor is here!" Chu Xia did not expect the emperor to come to Changchun Palace at a risk. When she found out, the emperor was already outside the bedroom and immediately ran in to report to the queen.
"What's wrong with the emperor? Let the emperor leave Changchun Palace!" The queen was shocked and immediately stood up from the chair.
"Empress!" The emperor strode in.
"Your Majesty, don't come over!" The queen pulled Wei Ning'er back a few steps and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Changchun Palace is very dangerous now, you can't take risks with yourself!"
The emperor stopped hearing this, and looked at the empress's haggard face full of pleading, and the emperor felt extremely distressed.
"Emperor, what the Empress said is that the Emperor should put the Qing Dynasty first and ask the Emperor to leave Changchun Palace!" Wei Ning'er also said at the right time.
"You..." The emperor took a deep breath and stood there calmly, but he didn't leave. He knew that they wanted him to leave because they were worried about him, but how could he be cruel?
"Emperor!" The queen couldn't help but feel anxious, and tears were also rolling in her eyes.
"Emperor, the Empress has worked hard enough these days, so don't worry the Empress anymore!" Wei Ning'er couldn't help but say.
The emperor felt ache when he heard this, and he looked at them with a firm look before leaving.
Wei Ning'er did not expect the emperor to come to see them. In addition to being happy, he was more worried. After all, the emperor was the king of a country. If he was also unexpected, then... the Qing Dynasty was afraid that something would be difficult. No one would want to see such a thing.
The life of trapped in Changchun Palace was not good. Looking at the increasingly sad queen, she felt even more sad. In addition, among the people sent by the emperor to serve the Seventh Prince, another palace maid was infected with smallpox, which made people in Changchun Palace panic.
Wei Ning'er asked herself that she was not afraid of death, but she was also a little afraid of the smallpox that could be contaminated at any time, but she had never revealed it.
As the day flies, it is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. This day is New Year's Eve. The emperor's family banquet is as usual, but it is much quieter. The emperor issued an order to cancel the singing and dancing, and everyone just gathered in the Qianqing Palace for meals.
Princess Gulun Hejing and her husband were also on the list. A few days ago, when they learned that the seventh prince had been infected with smallpox and the Changchun Palace was enfeoffed by the emperor, the princess rushed into the palace in a hurry. If the emperor had not stopped her, she would have been in there. Although she was ordered to enter the palace for a banquet, she felt uncomfortable. When she thought of her younger brother and the emperor's mother were still trapped in Changchun Palace, tears were circling in her eyes. The emperor was even more worried. She drank a cup of wine and even Wu Shulai could not persuade her.
The Empress Dowager knew that he was feeling uncomfortable and did not dissuade him, so she left him.
