In a remote corner of the imperial city, when Xianghe opened the courtyard door and saw Empress De concubine arriving, she was shocked not by the unusual visitor, but by her master's calculations. Why was he so accurate? Ever since she decided to leave Yikun Palace.
, every step in the future is within her calculations, so the little palace maid naturally does not dare to think about more things. She does not know that her master's scheming, wisdom and courage, if she looks at the harem, no one can match him.
Jue Chan had just had a hard time and was lying limply on the kang, unable to move. The aroma in the room was alluring, all to cover up the smell of her vomiting. When Lan Qi entered the room, she felt depressed and stood in front of the door, frowning.
, told Xianghe: "Open the doors and windows and let in some fresh air. Your mistress will feel even worse when she smells something so fragrant. Just give her some more clothes and wrap her up tightly."
Xianghe hurriedly led the two little palace maids to clean up. Huanchun Yukui couldn't help but look at it, but he couldn't pick them off and helped his master to sit down in the outer room. Not long after, he saw Juechan Chang coming out with weak steps.
, The haggard and sickly person I see now is not the same look that stunned everyone at the Mid-Autumn Festival last night, let alone the woman who fell into Nalan Rongruo's arms outside the gate of Ningshou Palace.
Lan Qi gave birth to Yinzhen and Yinzuo. After three years of hard work, she knew that her current weakness was not a disguise, so she asked her to sit down quickly. She also saw that Xianghe and others were busy opening the window to ventilate, but no one came to serve tea.
Jue Chan was inevitably embarrassed, so Lan Qi took the initiative to say no to tea and asked Huan Chun and others to go down. But Huan Chun knew that his master had something important to say.
A few of them took Xianghe to the other side and waited at a distance.
They walked away, and a gust of wind passed by. Lan Qi, who was dressed dignifiedly, still felt a bit of coolness on her neck. Jue Chan, who was wearing thin regular clothes, sat aside without changing her expression. She asked: "Is it hot during pregnancy?"
Master Juechan raised his head to look at her and nodded in response: "My whole body feels like it's burning, and I want to eat something cold, but the imperial doctor doesn't allow it."
"You can eat it after a few months." Lan Qi kindly reminded her, telling her from her own experience, "Tempers, temperaments, and tastes will all change. Just get over it and it will be fine. The child may feel more comfortable when he grows up in a few months, but
The last two months will be tough. Although you have to eat well, don't be too greedy. If you feed yourself too much, you will have a hard time. Giving birth to a baby that is too big will be even harder and more dangerous."
When Jue Chan looked at Lan Qi, she was slightly jealous. When she lowered her eyes, she said with sadness: "When I was young, I saw that the female family members in the family were pregnant. The elders told me these words. I thought that one day my mother would treat my concubine like this.
Said, now I can hear it, but the person who said it is the Concubine of Virtue."
Lan Qi knew that her family was in decline and did not want to expose anyone's wounds. She changed the subject and said slowly: "I thought your place would be crowded with guests, but I didn't feel at ease if I didn't come. Now that we can talk quietly, it's better
I picked a good time."
There was a sad smile on Mrs. Juechan's face, and she said softly: "My queen would like to ask me about what happened last night. I would like to ask if I got carried away and fell in love with Mr. Nalan after meeting him?"
Lan Qi looked at her seriously and said coldly: "When I heard you talking outside the paddock camp, I still clearly remember your words of admonishment to Master Nalan. How could you be someone who gets confused when we meet? Why bother?
.”
"The words of the empress..."
"You did it on purpose to show me, right?" Lan Qi smiled slightly, "I thought about it all day and night, but I still figured it out, so I wanted to ask you, where did I offend you, and why do you want to put these things in front of me?
In front of me? After so many years, a smart person like you can't figure it out?"
Jue Chan was startled. She thought that De Bin would come to her angrily to scold her, but she was so calm. It could be seen that her bloodshot eyes were indeed a reflection of her hard thinking. Her actions must have had an impact on her, but she didn't.
What he expected, he calmly figured it out.
"Actually, there's no need for me to be upset. It's not just once or twice that you've tried to commit suicide. I've always stopped you from doing anything. If I'm afraid that those things will be exposed, I believe that the people from Mingzhu Mansion and Hui Concubine are more involved than me.
What’s more worrying is that I’m caught in the middle. What kind of heart do I have?” Lan Qi looked at the person in front of her calmly and said, “But I don’t deny that I will feel irritable when I see or hear it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t come to you. Jue Chan is always here.
,Have I offended you these days?"
Mrs. Juechan's eyes were vague. From the moment the concubine came in, what happened next was completely different from what she thought. She lowered her eyes and hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stood up and knelt down on the chair. Lan Qi was startled, stood up and said
: "Don't be like this, don't hurt the child in your belly."
But Mrs. Juechan knelt down and took two more steps, and said with a sad expression: "Empress, I want to ask you for something, but I don't dare to come to ask for it rashly. I am afraid that you will refuse, so I took this trick and want to provoke you."
You came to help me, it’s my fault, but I and Master Nalan are innocent.”
Lan Qi took two steps back, "Of course you must be clean, otherwise you will not survive, but I have nothing to help you."
"Only you can help me, as long as you say a word to the emperor. You are the only one in the palace who can change the emperor's mind with just one word." The Juechan family did not give up, and told Lan about the child as usual.
Qi Ting, she had no other extravagant hopes. She just thought that if she was a prince, she must not be taken away by Hui Concubine.
"That's it?" After hearing these words, Lan Qi was quiet for a moment, then sat down and asked, "Don't you want your child to be called Hui Bin E Niang?"
Mrs. Juechan slowly got up from the ground, sat weakly on the chair, nodded heavily and said, "It was Hui Bin who deliberately sent my concubine to the emperor back then. Hui Bin even did not hesitate to use love potions on the emperor."
Lan Qi was startled and asked Jue Chan: "Use love medicine?"
Jue Chan's face was full of pain when recalling the past, and she said in a low voice: "The emperor was in love that night. I could see that he didn't know who he was with. Empress Huibin must have tampered with her somewhere, otherwise why would the emperor have done anything?
A random palace maid?"
"But in the summer, the emperor still summoned you soberly, and he still likes you." Lan Qi calmed down and looked at it. Her words seemed sour, but in fact she didn't care much, "Since the emperor already likes you,
Why don't you say this? Wouldn't it be easier for you to tell the emperor your wishes yourself than to provoke me with these things?"
The smile on Mrs. Juechan's lips was cold and arrogant. She shook her head and said: "Not to mention that I'm a soft-spoken person, I don't want to see the emperor. It's not a last resort. I would rather stay here for the rest of my life. At the end of May, I was killed by the emperor.
I was summoned frequently, and I had a hard time every day. The scenery in the eyes of others was the pain that I couldn't express." She stretched out her hand to cover her belly and said ruthlessly, "I don't care about this child, but I am.
I am not willing to give my concubine her wish."
Lan Qi finally figured it out. She felt sorry for her and felt even more ridiculous for no reason. She thought about it and asked, "What if I don't help you?"
A cold light flashed in Mrs. Juechan's eyes, and she said slowly: "Aren't you afraid that... the emperor knows about my concubines and Rongruo, and are you not afraid that the world will laugh at you?"
"Sure enough, you are waiting for me here." Lan Qi sighed helplessly and stood up again as if to leave, "But at that moment, neither you nor Nalan Rongruo will survive. Will Hui Bin be involved?
I wouldn’t have guessed that Mingzhu Mansion would definitely be squeezed out by other ministers. This family is already eye-catching, so you don’t hesitate?”
Jue Chan nodded, showing ruthless determination, as if she wanted to seize the last glimmer of hope, but she didn't know that what Wu Yalanqi hated the most was being threatened.
"Since you don't care, what do I care?" Lan Qi smiled lightly, walked forward slowly, stopped when she was near the door, turned around and said, "You are very smart, one move of yours makes me uneasy.
I couldn't sleep all night. You picked on my weakness and I almost followed the path you paved. What you asked for is indeed not difficult for me, but why should I help you? You
It’s not that you don’t care about this child, it’s not that the emperor’s favor to you is pain or torture. In this case, do you still care who this child calls your mother? If he is taken away after birth, it will have nothing to do with you. To you
It should be relief. You can not see him for ten, twenty years, or even your whole life, but you already said you don't care."
Lan Qi said, then turned back and took a few steps closer to her, and continued: "You know what? I have never seen someone as selfish as you. You keep saying that you can't forget your old love, and you keep saying that your concubine has ruined your life, but what you have done
Because, whether it is for relief or for sex, everything is just for yourself, but you use your relationship with Nalan Rongruo as an excuse to decorate everything so noble. I ask you,
What is the relationship between this child and Mr. Nalan? Then why was he used by you to act in that scene last night? Did he care about whom the child called Niang, or did you care? The old relationship between your childhood sweethearts is inseparable, right?
Too humble?"
Mrs. Juechan's eyes were condensed, and her haggard cheeks were getting paler and paler. Debin's words stimulated her heart. Everything she thought was clear and thorough actually became confused and blurred. At this moment, she suddenly wondered, what exactly did she want?
What?
"I used to be timid and had no vision. When I encountered the slightest thing, I felt like the sky was going to fall." Lan Qi turned around to leave again, straightened her spine and raised her chin slightly, saying confidently and decisively, "Now I understand that the world is so big.
, No one can cover everything. Even if the Emperor is really accused of shameful cuckolding by you, he will definitely take it off calmly. A little thing about love and love is nothing if it is left in the country? And we are all the same,
Sitting in a well and looking at the sky, I think I can see the whole world, and paranoidly believe that others should bear the pain and tragedy with me. For example, I care about others humiliating and causing trouble to the emperor, and I worry about it endlessly, trying to make everyone
They are all the same as me, and I can’t rub a grain of sand into my eyes, but what qualifications do I have to force others to think the same way? The same goes for you. From now on, I will no longer care about whether you are loyal to the emperor. You and Na
Master Lan, do you still have any entanglements? If something happens in the future, you should be punished and punished, and your head should be beheaded. The emperor can bear the responsibility of the country, and the trivial matters of the few of you are simply insignificant."
The words fell, but they echoed sonorously around the room. The speaker had already left, and the bustling footsteps outside quickly disappeared. Jue Chan sat slumped in his chair, limply, as if he had no strength at all.
A woman who thinks she is smart cannot say a word at this moment.
As soon as Lan Qi left Jue Chan's courtyard, she no longer smelled the pungent aroma, and felt comfortable all over. The fatigue of a sleepless night and a restless day was also gone. Huan Chun saw her coming with a solemn look. At this moment
But her smile was bright and her eyes were bright. Although she was curious about what they said, she felt relieved. She surrounded her master and returned to the palace. On the way, she saw the little eunuch from her own palace running towards her. She said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are back."
Come on, please go back quickly, Long live the Lord is here."
