"Sir, do you think it's okay?" A guard came to ask Rongruo, and said, "I'm afraid I have to go back to Concubine Hui or Concubine Rong first, but by this time, the two concubines must have gone to bed."
Rongruo calmed down and said: "The two ladies can sleep peacefully without being disturbed. If you are ill, please don't delay. Let's go to the imperial hospital first and ask the imperial doctor to take a look. Tomorrow I will go to Hui Concubine to explain and send two people to follow this
The maid goes."
The subordinates agreed and led the frightened little palace maid away. It was not convenient for Rongruo to stay here for a long time, but after thinking about the palace maid's words, he seemed to casually ask the people around him: "I heard what the palace maid said, is the palace maid in poor health? Why?"
You mean you have a high fever again?"
The guard then said: "Back to your lord, I only heard that this person who promised to be punished by the imperial concubine during the Mid-Autumn Festival was severely punished. It is said that he was seriously injured. I am afraid that is the reason."
Rong Ruo's heart was tightened, no one told him about this matter, his mother must have known about it, even her close confidants had hidden it, did she really want to put an end to all contact between herself and the palace?
In the palace, Nala often couldn't sleep at night due to ill health. When she heard that Jue Chan had agreed and had a high fever, people thought that she was pampering her with all the trivial matters because of her pregnancy, so they asked the palace people to pretend that she had fallen asleep.
I ignored him, but not long after, the maid came to tell me that the maid next to Jue Chan had gone out.
Nala was always disgusted and complained: "What if I meet someone outside? She is really troublesome. I still have to find a way to bring back some ladies and find another place for her to live."
Half an hour later, I heard that the imperial doctor had actually arrived. Nala was very surprised. He sent his maid to inquire, only to find out that he had met a guard. He sighed with relief but could not help but feel angry, "She is the most troubled. She died of illness."
good."
With all these complaints, Nala Changzai has obviously forgotten that he was once an unknown and pitiful little Xiaoying, and has no sympathy for Juechan. However, Juechan promised himself and seemed to have no intention of survival. The imperial doctor came
She didn't cooperate, so she finally took a pulse and prescribed a prescription. She drank two bowls of medicine in the middle of the night, but the injury on her buttocks still hadn't healed. She had stomach discomfort after lying down for a long time, and she vomited the medicine soon after she drank it.
Her little maid ended up sitting on the floor crying, begging her to stop torturing her.
But Jue Chan was lying on the bed languidly, with a slight smile of contempt on her lips, as if she was satisfied that her life was running out little by little, and the pain in her buttocks was nothing to mention. Her heart had already been in pain to the point of numbing all sensations.
However, God was so kind that she vomited up all the medicine, but her fever broke down the next morning. Her life, which she thought was about to end, persisted tenaciously. She went on a hunger strike and refused the medicine, determined not to live any longer. The little palace maid persuaded her.
She wanted to think about her family, but Jue Chan agreed but smiled sadly: "My parents are guilty, who else can I hurt?"
But on that day, after Nalan Rongruo finished his official duties, he invited his wife to go to the palace to pay her respects to Hui Bin. It happened that his wife was pregnant, so she came to announce the good news. Hui Bin saw the couple for Mingzhu's sake, but as expected, Rongrong
If he had other personal matters, he soon separated his wife with an excuse. Seeing his attitude, Hui Bin sneered: "I have been waiting for you to come and ask me about her, and you did come anyway. If you, Amar, knew, you would definitely
I'll beat you to death with random sticks. Now that your Ama is at the top of the court, do you have to put a stumbling block under his feet?"
Rongruo didn't care, but slowly told what happened last night. Hui Bin asked angrily: "You wandered around the palace in the middle of the night just to find her? Nalan Rongruo, are you going to die?"
"Empress." There is nothing he can't let go of until now. The person is already the emperor's and he will never get it again in his lifetime. Why should he stop him from caring about her? Rong Ruo actually said to Hui Bin firmly, "You'd better go.
Look at her and give her a way to survive, otherwise I will have to intervene myself, even if I ask in front of the emperor."
Hui Bin was furious, approached him and asked coldly: "Are you threatening me?"
"I dare not threaten your Majesty, I just ask your Majesty to pity her for being helpless in the palace." Rongruo bent down on one knee and begged, "I have no wrong intentions, I just want her to live well."
Hui Bin swallowed this breath deeply and waved her hand: "Her life is not that fragile. I will let her live well. Let's go. If you keep pestering her, I will kill her immediately."
For more than ten years in the palace, a woman who has always been regarded as virtuous and gentle has the ruthlessness to threaten people's lives. Hui Concubine is not a special case. In this twisted and strife world, it is not easy to survive, and it is even more difficult to gain a foothold.
It’s getting harder and harder.
Nalan Rongruo left after all, and Hui Bin stayed alone in the room for a long time. She only calmed down when her eldest brother came back from Cining Palace. After lunch, she finally wanted to come and see Jue Chan.
The courtyard where Nala Chang Zai and Jue Chan lived was not large. The two bedrooms opened to each other, so Nala naturally lived in the one with better lighting. Although Jue Chan's place was not a geomantic treasure, it was a palace after all.
It wouldn't be too different, but when Hui Concubine entered the house, she only felt that the room was stuffy and oppressive, and the strong smell of medicine was mixed with something unknown, making her feel depressed.
"You guys promise to feel better?" Hui Bin disliked this place and did not sit down. She called the little palace maid to kneel under her knees and asked. The little palace maid started to cry as she spoke. Hui Bin was disgusted. When she entered the bedroom, she couldn't help it.
Seeing a woman lying on the hospital bed who was so sick that she was almost out of shape, she was still looking as fresh as before. She secretly resented that she couldn't hope for the future in such a situation.
After pushing away the palace maid, Hui Bin said coldly: "Do you still want to die?"
Master Jue Chan didn't respond, and turned his face sideways, with a bit of cold arrogance appearing on his face.
Hui Bin was not angry, she just sneered: "I just met him today. He knelt on the ground and begged me. If he doesn't let you live well, he will beg the emperor. Do you know who came for you last night?"
The imperial doctor who came here is standing outside this door."
The man on the bed twitched all over, his face turned away and turned back, his gray and chapped lips slowly moved, and he said hoarsely: "Why is he suffering?"
"If you die, he will definitely not survive. You are so infatuated. You are so infatuated at the expense of your wealth and life. Why are you not afraid of deceiving the king and offending the nine clans?" Hui Bin suddenly felt hatred, but she had no choice but to say, "So you must
Live."
After saying this, he called the palace maids in and asked them to call Nala Chang Zai. When they arrived, Hui Bin solemnly asked Nala why he didn't take care of the people around him. Nala Chang Zai felt aggrieved and argued a few words before meeting Hui Bin.
Not forgiving her, she just pretended to be upset and said, "You are pregnant, so you really shouldn't have such a patient around you. In a few days, we will choose another place for her to go, and you will be safe."
.”
Nala didn't dare to say anything, and she was secretly happy that this unlucky woman was finally leaving. After that, everyone left unhappy. Hui Bin's anger did not diminish all the way. When she arrived at Rong Bin's residence, her face was still full of anger. At that time, Yi
The concubines, Guo Guiren and others were all talking together. Seeing her like this, they all asked the reason with concern. Hui concubine remained silent and only said that it was Nala who often bullied Jue Chan who lived under the same roof. She agreed and made her alive and dead.
Guo Guiren followed her elder sister's temperament and was cheerful and straightforward. She couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I can't bear it in my heart. That day, I wanted to change my name for the Long Live Lord. Jue Chan agreed, but the concubine took it out on me. Instead, I
It didn't matter to anyone else, so it happened that the Queen Mother praised her for her good craftsmanship that day, and the Emperor looked at her a few times. After all, people like us shouldn't steal the spotlight from the Imperial Concubine."
Yibin pushed her sister: "You talk a lot at a young age." But she said generously, "Since we can't live there, why not move to Yikun Palace? My place is very spacious, and my sister and I both like the excitement.
I also like Jue Chan, who promised that her craftsmanship is good, and I hope she will make beautiful clothes in the future. The clothes made by the servants in the sewing room are too standard, and I am afraid that the emperor will be tired of them long ago."
Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui looked at each other, and after a few polite words with Concubine Yi, they decided to move the Juechan family to Yikun Palace. They didn't have to live in the side hall, the house in the backyard was enough, and because they only moved one person, they agreed
, and because Nala is always pregnant, they don't have to ask Concubine Wen or Concubine Tong. If anyone asks in the future, they will just tell the Queen Mother. And the Queen Mother has lost Queen Niu Hulu, and Concubine Rong has been taking care of her diligently.
, Gradually, I also developed feelings for such a small thing, it must not be difficult.
But although it was a small matter, life in the palace was dull and boring, and any disturbance was worth people's curiosity. Also, Nala was always pregnant, so the things there attracted quite a lot of attention. Soon everyone knew about Yibin's new situation.
A little Wenxing was admitted, and this sickly little Wenxing was the one who was scolded by the imperial concubine on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Some people secretly rumored that Yi Bin openly provoked the imperial concubine. The gossip spread to Zhongcui Palace. Lan Qi and Bu Guiren were gossiping together in front of Duan Bin. She smiled and said, "I really believe it. Yi Bin's temperament is so fearless.
Yes, even Queen Niu Hulu used to contradict me. I still remember how she was punished to kneel outside the palace gate in the summer. It has become more and more severe in recent years."
When Lan Qi heard that the Jue Chan family was neither alive nor dead, she felt no pity in her heart. She just hoped that this woman would keep to herself and not cause any trouble to Xuan Ye.
Everyone thought that Concubine Tong would have an excuse to embarrass Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui, but they did not know that she had been privately reprimanded by the Empress Dowager for this maid, so no matter how disgusted they were with these women for not taking her seriously, they did not pursue the matter.
However, before Concubine Tong could digest this resentment, new resentment came over her.
At the end of August, Concubine Wen fainted while paying respects to the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace. The imperial doctor checked her pulse and found out that she was pregnant. He thought that she had been favoring the emperor since he snatched it from the noble man halfway, so it was natural for her to be happy, but Wen Wen was pregnant.
The concubine is happy, and if she is promoted to a noble concubine or even an imperial concubine, Concubine Tong's status will be in jeopardy.
After that, the autumn rain continued continuously, and the rain came and went.
On the day in early September, Lan Qi stood under the eaves and watched the raindrops knock down the dead leaves one by one. Huan Chun had not yet returned from sending gifts to Xianfu Palace, and Duan Concubine took the nobles and their children to Rong Concubine's place.
Only Yu Kui, Zi Yu and a few others were with them.
At this moment, she was being persuaded to go back to the house. Many people came in front of the door. The umbrellas were put away. Concubine Tong appeared in front of her surrounded by people. She saw Wu Yashi standing in the corridor at a glance. She said with a charming smile: "A noble lady."
