Sentence Division, why did you send Huanchun and the others to Sentence Division? Lan Qi, who had just woken up, was full of doubts. She was even more frightened by these three words and could not speak. Her heart was suddenly shocked, and she covered her stomach with her hands, panicking.
She looked at Xuan Ye, almost about to cry. Xuan Ye hurriedly came up to her and shook her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, the child is still there, and the child is fine."
Hearing these words, Lan Qi's muscles and bones suddenly relaxed, and her expression softened. Xuan Ye picked her up and held her in his arms, gently caressing her arms, and said in a deep tone: "I saw you in front of me.
I fell down with my eyes closed and fell unconscious. I was really going crazy at that moment. What should I do if you just go like this? How can I survive if I can't see you in the future?"
Lan Qi's cold heart warmed up a little, and she was still thinking about joking: "Don't you usually see your concubine for a long time?"
"Don't be angry with me." Xuan Ye said with sadness and hugged her body tighter, "I can't live without you."
Lan Qi burst into tears. She probably understood what happened. Fortunately, God blessed her again and kept her safe. She did not let her child leave. With fear, warmth and gratitude, all kinds of emotional entanglements, she finally endured it.
She couldn't help crying, turned around and sobbed on Xuan Ye's chest, her back was gently stroked, and her excited emotions slowly became calmer.
Xuan Ye's eyes were dark, and there was even more anger that made people tremble: "Huan Chun and the others made you eat something you shouldn't have eaten, and you cannot be exempted from it in any case. Everyone who dealt with it was sent to the Criminal Punishment Department for investigation.
They are the ones who suffer, but what I want to shock is everyone in this palace. I just pamper you and hurt you, what's wrong? I also want to see which minister of the previous faction dares to jump out and talk nonsense, just in time to find out.
Corruption is a threat to corrupt officials. None of them are clean to begin with. If anyone wants to take advantage of the situation, I will help them."
Lan Qi felt the speaker's body trembling, hugged him distressedly, and blamed herself: "I have also been negligent. Your Majesty, please don't let the people from the Shenxing Department torture Huan Chun and the others, okay? Everything will happen to me in the future."
Be careful, can you spare them?"
"I have my own sense of discretion. I cannot allow you to plead for mercy in this matter. You will be responsible for your own carelessness and I will settle it with you in the future." Xuan Ye reached out to wipe away Lan Qi's tears and said seriously, "You know that you
Did you eat something? The imperial doctor found a poison in your remaining bird's nest. It was really strange. It was so easy to take action. Why is it a poison, not poison? This makes me feel scared. Lan Qi, do you know this?
It was those people who were provoking and intimidating me. They must be warning me of something, telling me that it would be easy to harm the people around me."
Lan Qi has never seen the emperor so angry. Even when he lost his temper for the ministers in Qianqing Palace, he never looked like this. Based on what she knew about the people and affairs, the look in the emperor's eyes that she saw now could be said to be somewhat...
He was sinister and vicious, but his anger was not directed at himself, but at those who threatened the imperial power and himself, so she was not afraid, but was frightened from heart to body.
"I understand, Your Majesty, please don't be angry." Lan Qi did not dare to plead for Huan Chun and the others anymore, and coaxed Xuan Ye to relax a little. As expected, the emperor's anger gradually dissipated, and Lan Qi felt the arms holding her.
The person no longer exerted so much force and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Xuan Ye also put her back on the pillow and told her to have a good rest, "The imperial doctor said that although the fetus was not harmed, there must be something harmful to the body in the drug. If you still feel pain
This child, don’t get out of bed, don’t even write or read, just lie down quietly for a few days. I’ll take care of things outside. Before Huanchun and the others come back, someone will take care of you. They won’t stay in the Criminal Punishment Department.
You won't be severely beaten for a long time, I still want them to take care of you."
Lan Qi held back her tears and agreed one by one. Xuan Ye asked people to move the zhezi back to Yonghe Palace, and coaxed Lan Qi a few words to let her sleep peacefully. After half an hour, he finally left.
As for this incident, it had already spread throughout the harem as all the slaves in the Yonghe Palace were sent to the Shenxing Department for torture. Every palace and courtyard was worried about it. Previously, Concubine Rong went to Zhongcui Palace to talk to Concubine Duan.
At that time, Dai Chang was saying that Bu Gui was too sad to come to pay his respects. Concubine Rong also sighed: "If Lan Qi makes a mistake, it will be difficult for Bu Gui to get better in the future. They are sisters of the same heart."
On this side, Yi Bi also returned from Changchun Palace early. Tao Hong had not seen her master so happy for a long time. It was late at night and she was still sleepless. She was usually reluctant to touch Princess Ke Jing, but tonight she personally coaxed her.
Playing and laughing with them, they coaxed the princess to sleep. She also looked at the child with great interest. Taohong came to urge her to sleep. She smiled and said: "Whenever I can raise children by my own side, I will definitely be better than Ke."
Jing is cuter."
Later, when she was washing, she heard her master say to her: "The Wuya tree is big and attracts the wind. We really don't need to worry about it. There are many people who want to deal with it. Sister Hui said that I should just reap the benefits. The good days are still to come."
Taohong served her diligently. After hearing such words many times, she couldn't help but advise: "I think the master should be careful about Hui Bin. Empress Hui Bin is only interested in profit. If she does something behind your back, she might be exposed one day."
It’s your fault to protect yourself, but you don’t know anything and are even more incapable of defending yourself. Who will help you then?”
When Yi Bin was excited, these words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on her, but she still had reason and some intelligence. She thought about Tao Hong's words carefully and said to herself: "But how can I guard against her?"
, I'm afraid if I go too far, I'll turn against her. She is a very smart person. If she sees that I am guarding against her, what will happen if she doesn't help me in the future? After all, there are so many women in the palace, who is she using?
It's all the same. Although I don't want to be used by her, without her, I won't have any help."
Taohong said: "There are many empresses and masters in the palace, but there is only one concubine Yi in Yikun Palace. I feel that empress Hui concubine will not give up on being friendly with you easily. No matter whether you are really guarding against her or not, in concubine Hui concubine's heart,
This is how she thinks about you, she must always be thinking about you and be on guard against her."
Yibin was a little confused when she heard this. She only understood it after calming down and thinking about it. She couldn't help but laugh and said to Taohong: "How do you know so much?"
Taohong only said: "I am a bystander. I have seen the ups and downs of several masters over the years. It is inevitable that I will have some thoughts."
Yi Bin pulled her gratefully and said, "I will treat you well, but you must always stay with me, Taohong, I really don't have any relatives in this palace."
Taohong also expressed her loyalty repeatedly. She had seen through it and realized that she would not have a good life without Yibin. Don't even think about leaving the palace when you are old. Yibin would not let her go. She only hopes that nothing will happen in her life.
, to be able to survive steadily, she does not have great wisdom and dare not make random ideas, but it is clear to onlookers, and she will make a few remarks from time to time, for the good of her master, and even better for herself.
However, because of the fact that De's concubine was drugged, some people like Bu Guiren were sad and sad, and some like Yi concubine were gloating about the misfortune, but Hui concubine did not have these two emotions. She was neither sad nor happy, but felt uneasy in her heart.
.It turns out that there are forces in the palace that she can't see or touch. The one who is plotting today is the Wu Ya family. Maybe it will fall on her tomorrow. Over the years, whether it is the former Concubine Zhao or who is now, in this deep palace
What she couldn't get rid of was the sadness of dead lips and cold teeth. She couldn't sleep that night, and the next day she didn't care about Baoyun or eyeliner, so she hurriedly asked her confidants to invite people from Mingzhu's family.
In addition, because the concubines were drugged, many poisonous drugs were found in Yonghe Palace, which would prevent similar incidents from happening in other palaces. Under the order of the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Family Office, the Internal Affairs Office, and the Jingshi Office jointly ordered all palaces to
All the people in the court were rummaging around. Such a big movement would inevitably affect the government and the public. However, because the victim was a concubine of virtue and had nothing to do with the major factions in the court, all forces just waited and watched what happened. Some people were tipped off and learned about the emperor's death.
Angry, knowing full well that he could no longer challenge the emperor's patience at this juncture.
The whole next day, from the Chengqian Palace where Concubine Tong lived to the small courtyard where she promised to stay, it seemed as if the twelfth lunar month had entered the twelfth lunar month in advance. The entire Forbidden City was almost turned over. Concubine Tong stood in the courtyard and watched people search.
When there was something dirty, he hugged the frightened Yinzhen and scolded the slaves: "Look carefully at your dog paws. Everything in this palace is priceless. If I drop it, I'll kill your heads."
.”
Everyone did not dare to offend the imperial concubine and only said it was the intention of the superiors. Concubine Tong became even more angry and said in public without any hesitation: "The emperor is also the same. For a virtuous concubine, he made the six palaces restless. Aren't you afraid of causing sin for her?"
Scolding the little eunuchs who were searching everywhere for their carelessness would make the imperial concubine angry and cause other troubles. Chengqian Palace was just going through the motions and withdrew not long after.
Qinglian then came up to persuade her master: "Those eunuchs and maids must go outside to say these words of yours. What if they make Long Live Lord unhappy?"
But the imperial concubine sneered: "Who in the palace doesn't think so, why is the emperor still waiting for me to tell you? Isn't it better for me to tell you honestly than those who have dirty thoughts and curse behind their backs?"
"Mom, don't be angry." Seeing his mother so angry, Yinzhen knew what was going on. Although he still didn't understand, he didn't want to see the imperial concubine frowning. He hugged the imperial concubine and kissed her tenderly for a few times.
He said, "Yinzhen is good, E Niang is not angry, Yinzhen kisses E Niang."
"My son still loves his mother." The imperial concubine finally regained her composure and hugged her fourth brother admiringly. She regretted that she had been so cruel in front of her child just now, so she did not allow anyone in the palace to mention this matter again.
Naturally, the search of the six palaces in the East and West did not lead to the Xianfu Palace. Concubine Wen was very calm and led Jue Chan to sit in the corridor, holding the Eighth Prince in her arms, with a charcoal pot on the side, watching as if watching a show.
While the palace maids and eunuchs were coming in and out, it took more than half an hour before someone came to report, saying that there was nothing suspicious in Xianfu Palace, but it was inevitable that the bad guys would continue to do evil, and Concubine Wen was asked to be careful.
Concubine Wen smiled coldly: "Who would think of me to do evil and frame up someone like me? It's all for nothing."
Everyone laughed awkwardly, and then quickly dispersed. Dongyun led the maids to pack their things. Juechan said goodbye and wanted to go back to her room, but Concubine Wen said: "Let Xianghe clean it up, the charcoal basin is still there."
It's very warm when it's burning, and the tea isn't cold either. Let's sit there for a while."
Saying this, she asked the wet nurse to take the eighth prince away. As soon as the baby's warm swaddling clothes were removed, Concubine Wen inevitably felt cold, so she quickly took the hand stove to cover it, looked at Jue Chan with a smile, and asked her:
"I see that you are willing to go out and walk around recently. You have been to various places. How about we go together next time?"
Mrs. Juechan frowned slightly and lowered her head to report: "I went to Changchun Palace. Empress Hui often comes to care about my health in the summer. Now that I have recovered, I would like to express my gratitude to the empress."
"Concubine Hui is considerate. I heard that not only does she often come to see you in the summer, she will come to visit you whenever I am not in Xianfu Palace in the past few days. But..." Concubine Wen let out a long sigh, "She
Do you hate me very much? Everyone has come to Xianfu Palace, but you can’t talk to me? No matter how you look at it, you are deliberately avoiding me, or is there something going on between you that is shameful? "
Mrs. Juechan left her seat and knelt down, her face just in front of the charcoal basin. The black charcoal exploded and raised sparks, which made her confused. She couldn't help but step back, but she immediately came back and said respectfully: "Your Majesty.
I live with my concubine and do not dare to do anything that would harm her face. My concubine has always treated me very well. How could I avoid you and have contact with my concubine Hui? It’s just that my concubine is looking after me kindly and I have no choice but to do so.
Just went to say thank you."
"It's natural for you to be friends. Your family used to be in-laws of Mingzhu Mansion, and you are related to Hui Concubine. Furthermore, you still went from Hui Concubine's side to Long Live Lord's dragon bed. Hui Concubine was kind to you.
, you guys are so good, how could I be disgusted?" Concubine Wen smiled and stretched out her hand to signal her to get up, but before Zen could stand up straight, Concubine Wen said, "You and Master Nalan also have an old relationship, although you are just a regular.
Yes, but your connections in the imperial court should not be underestimated. There are really few people in the palace who can compare with you."
Jue Chan's knees seemed weak, and she suddenly fell to the ground. The two of them were alone here, and there was no maid around them. It didn't matter who saw her gaffe, what she cared more about was what Concubine Wen said.
Concubine Wen took a piece of candied fruit and ate it. She looked at Jue Chan in surprise and asked her to get up again. She only waited for her to sit firmly again before continuing: "I have been told since I was a child that I would enter the palace as a concubine. My relatives at home
I have never seen any other men besides slaves, and now I am fully focused on Long Live Lord, which I think is pretty good. But when I suddenly heard about your story, I didn’t feel any disgust at all for violating ethics, and I felt more sympathy for your experience.
, What a beautiful relationship, it was killed like this. It’s true for Hui Bin. She is an aunt after all, so she doesn’t feel sorry for her nephew? If I were her, I would definitely try my best to send you out of the palace. I hope
Lovers will eventually get married."
These beautiful words made Mrs. Chan panic in her heart. Even though the charcoal fire was burning brightly and the place was as warm as spring, she couldn't help but tremble. Finally she couldn't help but say: "If anyone else hears what I said, you can't help it."
It's going to cause big trouble, I beg your Majesty not to mention it again."
"What I heard is indeed true. Do you admit it?" Concubine Wen looked at Jue Chan and asked abruptly, "You have been avoiding the holy favor, not fighting for it, and even putting yourself in such a haggard state. Is that so?
Because you still have Lord Nalan in your heart, right? For you, staying with the Emperor is torture and pain, isn’t it?"
Jue Chan shook his head, but nodded hastily. In this palace, Concubine Wen was the third person to face these things directly with her. Concubine Hui used coercion and inducement, Concubine De showed disgust and disgust, but Concubine Wen was the only one who showed great
Her interest and regret, and even affirmation of her old relationship, made her aloof and proud heart soften, and she even couldn't help but want to hear Concubine Wen continue talking.
Concubine Wen smiled kindly: "In the summer before I left the palace, I told you about Master Nalan taking a concubine in his house, and you fell ill. I thought about it all summer, and it wasn't until I heard your story that I regretted it.
I hope you don’t blame me for what I said to you.”
Master Juechan shook his head hurriedly: "How dare I blame you, my concubine? Please don't misunderstand me."
"That's good, I feel at ease." Concubine Wen smiled softly and said to Jue Chan in a seemingly affectionate manner, "But I have heard something else recently, do you want to hear it?"
Jue Chan didn't say anything, but she wanted to hear everything in her heart. She wanted to know everything about Ron Ruo. When Hui Bin brought the book "Poems of Fragrances", she knew that Ron Ruo was definitely not just playing tricks on that woman.
It must be sympathy for each other, it must be meeting a close friend in a foreign land, which makes him so emotional regardless of his wife and concubines at home and his father's wrath.
"I won't tell others. I know that a concubine's ulterior motives are a crime of beheading. I can't forgive you for harming you. I just sympathize with your experience." Concubine Wen's face was full of concern and she said slowly, "Master Nalan's
The matter has been settled. I heard that the emperor came forward to ask Mingzhu not to object to his son's taking a concubine, and also allowed Lord Nalan to keep the girl in his outer house. Now everything is peaceful at home and outside. Since it is the emperor's wish, no one will make things difficult for her.
That woman, Lord Nalan, is also with the emperor again, and the emperor always thinks highly of her."
Jue Chan looked at Concubine Wen blankly. Although Concubine Wen's words were completely opposite to those of Hui Bin, she believed what the person in front of her said for no reason. Sure enough, Hui Bin was seizing on her sore spot to threaten her. In fact, she could not hurt Shen Shen at all.
Wan, are you just trying to scare yourself?
"What's wrong with you?" Concubine Wen saw Jue Chan's pale face and asked with a smile, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? The man you love likes another woman. Isn't it hard? I can understand it all too well."
"Empress?"
"How I wish the emperor could treat me as he loves his concubine, but I know this is too extravagant." The expression on Concubine Wen's face gradually turned gloomy, but as if she had reached the limit of gloominess, she suddenly saw a resolute expression, her eyelashes flickered, and her eyes
He has a longing for the future, "I believe that as time goes by, the emperor will treat me differently, but before that, you can't help concubine Hui and the others seduce the emperor. If concubine Hui and concubine Yi get the emperor's love,
I'm going to get a piece of the pie again. I'm willing to help you with anything, so you can only help me, okay?"
There seemed to be thunder in Mrs. Juechan's ears. How could there be a pure and kind woman in this palace? Could it be that the De's concubine was so disdainful that she really respected her own feelings? She had just seen Hui's face clearly.
, determined not to be manipulated by her anymore, Concubine Wen immediately dug a trap on her side, and jumped into it hot-headedly.
At this time, the little eunuch in front of the door hurriedly came in and reported: "The Empress Dowager sent a decree to invite the ladies of the palace to go to Cining Palace."
Concubine Wen looked like a normal person and asked, "Will Jue Chan be there too?"
The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Yes, Chang Zai is going too."
