There were a few lines of Xuan Ye's small regular script on the paper. Lan Qi looked at it again and again, her face flushed, and she heard Xuan Ye whisper softly: "Are you so jealous that you are so jealous?"
Lan Qi returned the paper stuffing to the emperor and muttered: "Who asked the emperor to bother with this? You clearly know that I am not very smart."
Xuan Ye gently tapped her forehead: "You are not stupid, you are disrespectful of me."
"How did I know that there was a letter hidden under this candy box? I rummaged through it carefully after I brought it. I didn't notice anything was wrong, so I didn't touch it again." Lan Qi felt warm in her heart, but she still said sternly, "But
Now the emperor has turned it over in his own hands to show it to me. Although it is more than ten days late, I really don’t feel uncomfortable in my heart. Otherwise, no matter how much the emperor explains in vain, I may not be able to let go."
A few lines of words were not important matters or sweet words. First, Xuan Ye told Lan Qi to take care of her health, and then he told her in advance that after the emperor returned, he would first appease the Sixth Palace. He hoped that Lan Qi would not think too much about relaxing and run away late that night.
He came to see him once and then left in a hurry. It was Xuan Ye who couldn't bear it first.
As for hiding these words under the box, I thought that after Lan Qi got the candy, if she suspected that it was something bad, the imperial doctor would immediately find out the paper underneath after examination. If she was careless enough to stuff it into her mouth, then every day
As she took the anti-fetal medicine and gradually finished the candy, Lan Qi could see it when the emperor returned. As a result, she didn't move at all and she kept it in storage for several months.
Xuan Ye gently held her in his arms and felt relieved when he touched her body. He said distressedly: "Get well quickly. If you don't give birth, I will be worried about you for a day. When I calm down on the road, I will miss you.
When I think of you working hard, I feel irritable."
"It's not hard for a woman to give birth to a child. I'd like to thank you for your heartache, but I'm very happy and satisfied. This is a blessing from God." Lan Qi nestled in Xuan Ye's shoulder. The familiar breath made her feel at ease physically and mentally. It turned out that she was not at home.
At that time, my heart was not so uncomfortable. In the past few days, I had watched the emperor move between the six palaces without even looking at her. The unspeakable pain in my heart was really too devilish.
"It's still my fault. I just need to tell you something properly. I won't let you think so wildly. I really don't know what was going on at that time." Xuan Ye blamed himself and blamed the imperial doctor for not reporting it, so Lan Qi became anxious.
He defended the imperial doctor, but was reprimanded by the emperor, "You are so bold now that you dare to work with the imperial doctor to deceive and not retaliate."
Lan Qi softly begged: "The Empress Dowager is old and she has always been sentimental recently. What if a little thing disturbs the Empress Dowager? Don't be angry, Your Majesty. I will keep this from you.
Okay?" He said and felt aggrieved, "Didn't the Emperor hear the jokes I made about Yonghe Palace outside for more than ten days? Just for those few words, I have to argue, otherwise I am obviously really uncomfortable, but they take it for granted.
My concubine is pretentious and wants to lure the emperor to Yonghe Palace."
Xuan Ye was slightly angry: "Are you stupid, for disregarding your own body for a few words from them, which one is more serious? How can I care about what they say?"
Lan Qi thought about it. Nowadays, she cares more and more about other people's opinions. But if she thinks about it more carefully, instead of saying that she cares about the sarcasm of women, she actually cares more about her appearance in the emperor's heart. In the final analysis, she is afraid of Xuan Ye's annoyance.
She was hypocritical, fearing that the emperor would offend her for being ignorant. Now it is very easy to say that I don't care, but if it was true at that moment, it is not clear whether she really cares.
"Your Majesty, this concubine has her own thoughts and starts to speak insincerely." Lan Qi murmured.
Xuan Ye laughed out loud: "You are so petty, and you still show it? It's better to be kind-hearted than to be indifferent. I can't bear to see you being so stupid."
The entanglement in Lan Qi's heart was gone, and she pestered Xuan Ye like a baby. The two said happy words and listened to the emperor's story about the Eastern Tour. Qi longed for the vast sea and sky, and even wanted to accompany him to walk around this great land, so she was naturally very happy.
Xuan Ye stayed in Yonghe Palace for a full day before returning to Qianqing Palace at night. Probably because it was not easy to spend the night with Concubine De, but there was no sign that night. After that, things gradually returned to the past. The emperor was busy with government affairs all day long, and occasionally There are very few people who have the time to get close to the harem, and it is no longer as lively as the rain and dew when they just returned home.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Niu Hulu's family came to the palace to pay their respects. Concubine Wen was as indifferent and rude to her family as ever. Aling'a's patience was worn away, and she no longer looked down upon her. She also coldly mocked her sister to her face: "If the concubine is in the palace, If you really have a good life, I don’t need to worry about it, but if you cause trouble several times, I’m afraid that Long Live Lord has long been merciless towards Xianfu Palace.”
At that time, the female family members present were all embarrassed, and Mrs. Niu Hulu even blamed her son for being ruthless. Concubine Wen, on the other hand, remained calm and sneered: "I am not satisfied, but I am willing to accept hardships. Even if I end up in the cold palace tomorrow, I have nothing to do with you." .Think about you again, whether you are attentive to me or sarcastic to me, the only reason you are so anxious is that I can’t give you face, but why don’t you earn face yourself and still have the face to sarcastic me?”
This time the quarrel became more tense, and the female family members tried to persuade them to no avail, so they left the palace in a hurry to visit. But as soon as they left, Concubine Wen couldn't hold herself back, and she cried so hard that she burst into tears. Mrs. Juechan was also alarmed and came to comfort her. Concubine Wen cried and said: "The relationship between flesh and blood is like this. I shouldn't expect the emperor to change his mind about me."
"If the emperor is really ruthless, why did he come to see the empress a few days ago?" Juechan persuaded helplessly, and with a thought in his mind, he added, "The emperor hates concubines getting entangled with their relatives the most. The empress's virtue must be appreciated by the emperor. Appreciate it, you can spread the word about today's unhappy breakup. When the emperor hears it, he will definitely praise you for your job well done."
Concubine Wen seemed to see a ray of light in the endless darkness. She held Jue Chan's hand tightly and asked, "Is it really possible?"
"How can I be successful?" Jue Chan said with a wry smile, "I only know that haste makes waste. The emperor doesn't like women who are dedicated to pleasing him. Please forgive me for being disrespectful. You will never become a virtuous concubine in your life. Your Majesty, your Majesty would like your Majesty to be like Concubine De. If nothing else, look at the Imperial Concubine. She was the one who almost beat her concubine to death for no reason at all, just to sleep with the nobleman Guo on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. But now, that overbearing and arrogant concubine is The imperial concubine is rarely seen alive."
"Then I'll do as you said and spread the word. I won't be afraid of embarrassment." Concubine Wen wiped away her tears. She still remembered that Jue Chan said that she must have a beautiful face no matter what. The emperor didn't like it. When you see a woman crying, crying too much will only annoy her. She should smile gently in the future.
"Your Majesty, you must not be impatient." Jue Chan said again and again, "After all, you have hurt the Emperor in the past few things. Now that there is a new person in the palace, even if the Emperor changes his mind towards you, he may not always be able to come. In the past year, for your sake The favor in front of you has gone through too many things that make the emperor disgusted. For the long-term plan, what you need to do now is not to ask the emperor to come to Xianfu Palace, but to let the emperor slowly change his view of you and let him know that you have made a mistake. You are reflecting on yourself every day, and you are worthy of the dignity of a noble concubine. In this way, even if the emperor does not come in the next few days, you will definitely be blessed with countless favors in the years to come."
Concubine Wen gradually calmed down, and after a while she came back to her senses. She smiled and asked Jue Chan: "You are so smart and don't plan for yourself. It's really a pity."
"My concubine's heart is not in the Forbidden City, and what I want can't be found here. But I am destined to be here all my life, so what's the use of being smart?" Mrs. Juechan's smile was a little sad, "As for the empress, these things are not mine.
I am smart, but I can only see clearly because I am a bystander."
Concubine Wen has the "strategist" Jue Chan next to her. He has no distracting thoughts about anything in the palace and is loyal to her. However, if Concubine Yi conspired with Concubine Hui like this, she would only be thinking about the future of herself and her son.
How could she be really nice to her? These days, Concubine Yi was worried about having a baby, and Concubine Hui didn't dissuade her. Since the emperor returned, she didn't even come to see her.
Until that day, Concubine Yi came to the door excitedly. Concubine Hui saw her face was full of joy and thought she was happy. She was not happy when she heard Concubine Yi say: "Sister, can you hear any noise here? I heard that Concubine De's belly is
The child inside is not very well."
It stands to reason that Concubine Hui, who stares at the Sixth Palace every day like a black-eyed chicken, should know more than Concubine Yi, but she really has not heard about the unsafe fetus in Yonghe Palace, but Concubine Yi said: "I see the sky."
I went to the Tai Hospital to get the abortion medicine, and there was a lot of traffic. Taohong and the others showed up at the Tai Hospital from time to time, and it was inevitable that I heard a few words. Although I don’t know what happened, but since such words are revealed, it must be bad. "
Concubine Hui frowned and said, "You've been going through this for ** months before you can say no?"
However, Concubine Yi gloated: "What are you afraid of in the first month? There are so many people who cannot be saved after birth, but her Wuya family's child is so rare?"
Concubine Hui advised her: "The emperor doesn't care about Wu Ya's children. You should be careful what you say these days so as not to anger the emperor."
Let's also say that Concubine Yi concluded that Concubine De's child was not well just because Tao Hong heard a few words in the imperial hospital. On that day, Lan Qi was coaxed by the emperor. Although her complexion looked better, her body did not improve much. At first, the imperial doctor helped Concubine De.
She concealed the news from the two palaces, but now she became the imperial doctor who helped the two palaces hide the news from the concubines. Lan Qi originally thought that she was in a bad mood due to jealousy, which affected her health, but in fact, her body itself was getting worse day by day.
On this day, Xuan Ye was also in Cining Palace. Together with the Empress Dowager, he listened to the imperial doctor's report on Concubine De's health. The imperial doctor was so nervous that he trembled slightly, but he had to tell the truth: "I have consulted with several people and concluded that the fetus in the empress's belly is very weak.
The worst thing is that she is stillborn before she is born, which will do great harm to the mother's body. Even if she is optimistic and can be born safely, she is too weak and may die young."
The Queen Mother was very sad and closed her eyes heavily, "There are many such things in the palace, but what happened to Lan Qi, I really can't bear to see her sad."
Xuan Ye asked the imperial doctor: "What danger will the concubine herself face?"
