"Because I want to talk to the noble concubine Jue Chan alone, the imperial concubine went to rest elsewhere." Lan Qi responded, but seeing that the imperial concubine was very impatient, she turned back and glared at Tong Bin, and then told Lan Qi, "Go back and rest."
Well, it has nothing to do with you here."
Lan Qi was startled. She had just promised Jue Chan to go to Cining Palace to plead for her. Why didn't the imperial concubine let her intervene?
"Go and invite Concubine Wen to the inner hall to speak. Lord Juechan, please go back to Xianfu Palace first and stop walking around. Concubine Wen will naturally give you an explanation for what will happen next." The imperial concubine said simply and glared again.
Sister, "You also go back and I'll get that thing done for you as soon as possible. If you cause trouble again..."
Tong Bin didn't wait for her sister to finish what she said, lowered her head and walked away. Jue Chan knew that she couldn't argue with the imperial concubine. She would leave if the imperial concubine asked her to leave. It was obvious that she would have a discussion with the imperial concubine Wen.
His life should have been saved.
Lan Qi and Jue Chan came out together. Concubine Wen looked at them with a frown, while Qinglian invited her to go inside. No words were exchanged between them, so they just passed by each other until they were outside the gate of Dechenqian Palace.
, Juechan said softly to Lan Qi: "It would be great if we don't involve you. Now if Empress Tongbi tells the Imperial Concubine about Ping Guiren, the Imperial Concubine may think of the forces behind Ping Guiren.
, so this matter is not just about the life and death of a small nobleman, I, but it involves too much. For the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Wen, the things they have to consider are much more important than the life and death of this concubine."
Lan Qi knew that Jue Chan was wise. Although she was trapped in this deep palace, she had seen the big world before entering the palace. She was knowledgeable and knowledgeable. If it weren't for the entanglement of the love between children in the past, talking to her would be
It is best to communicate, and it was only then that Lan Qi thought in her heart that Jue Chan could already say it completely.
"Since the Imperial Concubine won't let me interfere at the moment and it's not a good idea to make her angry, I'll just sit back and watch for now. But if they have to sacrifice you in the end, I will try my best to keep you safe." Lan Qi looked at Jue Chan with a smile, "But still
As I said just now, I will do my best and you will obey fate."
Jue Chan's eyes were slightly red, and Fu Yifu said: "I am satisfied with the words of the empress."
The two of them dispersed in front of the Chengqian Palace. Juechan calmly returned to Xianfu Palace to wait for her farewell. Concubine Wen was sitting in the inner hall of the imperial concubine. After entering the palace for these years, Concubine Wen often came to Chengqian.
In the palace, all the concubines gathered. Everyone only talked or watched the show outside, and rarely sat inside. The two of them were sitting on each side. After Qinglian served tea, she left silently.
"I heard that there is new tea in your palace?" A faint smile appeared on the imperial concubine's lips, and she said in a strange tone, "I don't know if the old tea I have here is suitable for your taste."
Concubine Wen smiled: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I can't drink the old tea or the new tea." She straightened her belly a little and said proudly, "I am pregnant, and the imperial doctor has told me not to drink tea."
The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows, feeling very unhappy, but then she thought about her husband Yinzhen, so she didn't care anymore. She brought the topic back to serious matters, and mentioned without hesitation that her sister and the Jue Chan family were teaming up to force Ping Guiren away.
Naturally, they would not mention that they took advantage of Concubine Wen, but just said: "This little Hesheli is very impressive. A small nobleman dares to make trouble. Since the emperor had a harem, this seems to be the first time such a thing has happened. After all,
She is the sister of Empress Yuan, and she has horns on her head."
"Queen Yuan?" Concubine Wen snorted coldly and asked the concubine, "Does it mean that in the eyes of the empress, Queen Niu Hulu cannot be compared with others? Speaking of which, before entering the palace, I often heard that you were secretly and openly with the family.
My sister is in conflict."
The imperial concubine didn't care about this. She had heard from her sister that Ping Guiren unscrupulously belittled Queen Niu Hulu, which made Concubine Wen angry and kept tossing her. Now her sister can't get away with it, and neither can Concubine Wen.
A sister always has to speak up for her sister, so naturally it is their business.
"I have done countless things in my youth. After your sister passed away, I felt empty for a long time. It's boring for you to say such things." The imperial concubine said, and sighed with disdain, "I won't talk about these anymore.
Let's talk about Mr. Ping, are you willing to have your left and right arms taken away by a little girl? Jue Chan is in your palace and does a lot of work for you. These discerning people can see it. At least you will come to protect her today.
I just care a lot.”
Concubine Wen saw that the imperial concubine was going straight to the point, so she was not polite and said seriously: "As long as I can keep Mr. Jue Chan, if you have any ideas for me or what you want me to do, just tell me."
The imperial concubine said: "What happens to our big families in the court? Although we women are not in charge of it, we shouldn't bring trouble to the family, right?"
They were all from the same background. Of course Concubine Wen understood the meaning of these words, nodded and said: "Ping Gui is able to mobilize the guards, obviously there is a lot of help in the family."
"It's a big deal. I wonder if they will use this as an excuse to launch an attack. This mess has already embarrassed the emperor. If something happens again in the court, it will be even bigger trouble." The imperial concubine's face showed a hint of sadness.
, "Suo'etu is the minister in charge of the bodyguards. It is difficult for us to interfere in the affairs of the bodyguards. Even if the bodyguards are hysterical and crazy, it is difficult for them to be hysterical and crazy. It is not easy to give the Juechan family a clean conscience."
"I understand what the empress said." Concubine Wen felt that the imperial concubine did not say anything constructive.
The imperial concubine said calmly: "You don't want to lose Mr. Jue Chan, and I don't want Mr. Ping to cause trouble and bully my sister. We can't make a fuss like before. We have to work together and speak with one voice."
Concubine Wen frowned slightly: "My dear, please tell me."
The imperial concubine said: "Since the palace maid said that it was Concubine De who was looking for Lord Juechan, then just follow this and say that you also saw people from Yonghe Palace looking for Juechan. You know that she went out to meet De.
Concubine, there is no need to say anything else."
Concubine Wen shook her head: "But Concubine De didn't express her position just now."
"I will persuade her." The imperial concubine was very confident. "If the emperor or the queen mother asks what Concubine De will say, I will tell her. You also understand that in front of the emperor, which word has the most weight, as long as Concubine De says it is her."
If you go to Jue Chan, the emperor will definitely believe you."
Concubine Wen was confused and asked worriedly: "What about the guards? Will Ping Guiren and the others just give up?"
The imperial concubine's eyes were full of contempt: "Let's put things to rest. If they make trouble again, they will just poke the emperor in the spine. The emperor will shut them up."
Concubine Wen never knew that Concubine Huang had such scheming intentions. She was always too lazy to care about palace affairs, and acted like a rich and idle person. Others only knew that Concubine Huang was hot-tempered and impatient, but they didn't expect that she could calm down and think.
At least Concubine Wen herself had no idea about the matter.
The imperial concubine said again: "Remember, I don't want any of our families to be trapped by them, so just do as I told you."
Concubine Wen asked, "What will happen to noble Ping in the future? Is she allowed to be arrogant and a little nobleman to dominate the palace?"
The imperial concubine looked at her meaningfully, laughing in her heart that she couldn't see through it, but since she was asked, she had to tell her, and said quietly: "In this palace, as long as the emperor dislikes him, he will dominate anyone.
look?"
The words shocked Concubine Wen to the point of feeling guilty. Her eyes hurriedly passed over the Concubine Huang. She felt like she could not breathe as if there was a stone in her chest. She could only smile, for fear that Concubine Wen would see that she was feeling guilty. She had long been disliked by the emperor.
, responded with a smile: "I understand, I will talk to the noble Jue Chan when I get back." But she got excited and asked, "Just now, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong also heard what I said. Now if I change it, they will
Will you tell me?"
"Them? It's better to stay out of it. Do you see how fast they run?" The imperial concubine was very disdainful. She looked at the concubine Wen again and said, "I really didn't expect that you would come. It seems that noble Jue Chan is very important to you.
.”
Concubine Wen did not continue what she said, and hurried back to Xianfu Palace after saying goodbye. However, when Jue Chan heard about this incident, she finally involved Concubine De. She was speechless to Concubine Wen, and was full of concubine De in her heart.
Guilt. Ping Guiren can use Concubine De as a cover. He is obviously jealous of Concubine De's favor and wants to make her a mess. Now that he has really dragged Concubine De into trouble to restore her innocence and ruined Concubine Ping's good deeds, she will be even more demanding in the future.
I still hate Concubine De.
In this way, this matter went on for a long time. Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui suppressed the rumors in the palace. The imperial concubine was not as intolerant of the Jue Chan family as everyone imagined. The news finally came out that Concubine De was in the inheritance.
Qian Gongli proved that she went to the Royal Garden to find Mr. Jue Chan, and even saw her in the Royal Garden with her own eyes. However, before she could get close to talk, someone took Mr. Jue Chan away.
The imperial concubine reported the decision to the Qianqing Palace. Xuan Ye was busy with government affairs and occasionally heard about this matter. Everyone thought that the emperor would be angry because of this, but even if Xuan Ye was really angry, he would never show it or do anything.
Why should people see the embarrassment of being cuckolded? What's more, he didn't care at all. He knew that Rongruo and Jue Chan were "childhood sweethearts", so how could Jue Chan run away and have an affair with a guard?
But when he found out that Lan Qi was involved and became an important witness, Xuan Ye frowned. He wanted to call her to Qianqing Palace for questioning, both in public and private matters. Lan Qi came here non-stop and made a draft.
How to deal with it, but the emperor left him standing outside the study door for half an hour.
Eunuch Li couldn't help but wanted to go in and ask, but Lan Qi stopped him and said nonchalantly: "If the emperor wants to see me, he will naturally summon me."
"Empress... both of you are angry, it will be difficult for this slave." Eunuch Li knew that the two people inside and outside were angry. Although he could not understand the truth of the matter, there was no doubt that how could someone like Empress De Fei do this?
Being involved in such a thing for no reason, there must be something to be done here, and he could think of it, how could the emperor not think of it.
But at this moment, the little eunuch on duty in front of the door ran in and said: "Father-in-law, Master Nalan Rongruo is outside asking for an audience."
Eunuch Li asked curiously: "What time is it? Why did you come in with the sign?"
