Children can't lie, let alone a child as young as the Tenth Brother. He likes Jue Chan, so he thinks this is a very scary thing. No matter how he encountered this scene, there is no doubt that Jue Chan is not having fun now.
Fu Gong was recuperating, but was put under house arrest by the imperial concubine. Fortunately, the imperial concubine came to the banquet with a calm expression today, and she was chatting and laughing with others, and it was impossible to tell that she had lost such a temper just last night.
"Yinsu, where are you? Come quickly." In the lively place, the seventh elder brother was calling someone, and even called the young eunuch to find him. Here, the eighth elder brother heard the seventh elder brother calling him, so he took his younger brother to where he was.
He told Brother Ten, "Don't be afraid. It'll be fine. Lord Jue Chan will be fine soon."
Lan Qi simply hid behind the pillar again, just waiting for the children to run over. Suddenly she heard an explosion. It was the lighting of firecrackers over there. Wen Xian's scream also came. The little girl was looking for her mother all over the world.
, Lan Qi then came over.
"I'm scared, Mom, give me a hug." Wen Xian pestered Lan Qi to act coquettishly. The princess who was usually a bully was timid, so Lan Qi coaxed her gently, but right now she had more important things to do.
Seeing the fourth elder brother at the side, he waved to him, "Empress De Fei cannot leave the table for too long. Fourth elder brother, can you help me keep an eye on Wen Xian?"
The fourth elder brother smiled and nodded, took his sister's hand, and said lovingly: "The fourth elder brother will take you to light rabbit lanterns. We don't play with firecrackers."
"Fourth brother, I want the biggest rabbit lantern." My sister immediately became happy and followed her obediently.
At this moment, Huan Chun and others also came over. After all, her mother-in-law could not leave the banquet for too long. Someone had already asked where Concubine De was. Lan Qi tidied up her appearance and returned to the banquet. She accidentally met Xuan Ye's eyes. The emperor smiled warmly, but
Seeing that she was panicking, he quickly looked away. The obvious panic in her body was seen in Xuan Ye's eyes, and the emperor couldn't help but frown slightly.
After sitting down, Lan Qi was thinking about how to rescue the noble concubine Jue Chan. Almost no one in the palace could think of her. If no one cared about her, she would be under house arrest by the noble concubine for the rest of her life. As long as the people in Xianfu Palace did not tell anyone,
As long as people outside don't think about it, who knows whether they will still be alive today or tomorrow.
Thinking of this, my heart trembled. After all, she had tricked the Jue Chan family. She was the most critical and most dangerous person in this matter. How could she have foreseen the possible consequences with her mind, but she still didn't care.
After hesitantly agreeing to herself, Lan Qi suddenly felt that she had taken advantage of Jue Chan's gratitude to her and used all her sincerity for this unrighteous thing.
After all, she is not the person to do these things. She does not have the courage to look back and is not cruel enough to die. No wonder when she first discussed with the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine would look at her like that, saying whether she was too reluctant and asking if she could really be cruel.
Are you willing to calculate so much?
Lan Qi shook her head, not thinking about these useless things. Now she has to think of how to rescue the noble Jue Chan. She is in the position of concubine and is not qualified to break into Xianfu Palace. The concubine can have many opinions.
To explain why the noble concubine Jue Chan is under "house arrest". If she cannot bring down the concubine at once, it will only increase her arrogance and even cause the concubine Jue Chan to suffer more. But what should she do?
The first thing that popped up in her head was the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine promised to help her and promised to challenge the Imperial Concubine for her in the end. Lan Qi believed that she would not break her promise, but she suddenly looked up and saw the Imperial Concubine beaming with joy.
Her cheeks were flushed. Whenever someone came over to propose a toast, she would drink it all with a smile. The more the female relatives made noises, the more proud she became. It was not unusual for the imperial concubine to often get drunk during banquets. Lan Qi watched her today.
He will be carried back again.
The only hope was shattered. When the banquet was about to end, the imperial concubine had to be sent back early. Since it was a royal family banquet, the clan and nobles were used to the imperial concubine's generosity. Although it was inappropriate to do this, the emperor was happy.
No one cares about it, who dares to criticize it? Seeing Qinglian and several palace maids helping the imperial concubine to resign to the emperor and the queen mother, and the concubines, concubines, and relatives getting up to send off the imperial concubine, Lan Qi's heart pounded, even this one can't be trusted.
, is she really going to force her way into Xianfu Palace?
She stood up and raised her head, and looked at Xuan Ye inadvertently again. She had never felt so guilty before. She almost glanced at the emperor in a hurry, not daring to look at the emperor intently. The embarrassment and nervousness on her face could no longer be concealed. She sat down.
Afterwards, I drank a glass of wine to calm down the shock.
Not long after the imperial concubine left, the banquet broke up quickly. The emperor served the queen mother and returned to Ningshou Palace. Instead of asking all the concubines to accompany her, he asked everyone to go back early. The nineteenth is the day when the eldest brother will get married, and there are many more
Things have to be busy.
Everyone dispersed. Princess Wen Xian had been taken away by the Queen Mother. There was nothing for her to worry about, but her face was still full of worries. Even Concubine Rong came to ask: "What's wrong? You have been restless tonight."
Concubine Rong also knew a little bit about this matter. They mentioned that Brother Ten's clothes were good-looking in Chengqian Palace that day, which was a countermeasure they had planned in advance. Concubine Rong would be in trouble later, so Lan Qi never mentioned this matter to her again.
, but Xianfu Palace has been uneasy recently. Concubine Rong knew what Lan Qi was doing, and looked at the palace's reaction with cold eyes, silently worrying about Lan Qi. Now when she heard Lan Qi talk about what might happen to the noble Jue Chan, she shook her head.
He clicked his tongue and said, "The noble concubine is really cruel. It's a pity that neither you nor I can forcefully break into Xianfu Palace."
"The Imperial Concubine is also drunk. As long as the Imperial Concubine doesn't let us find someone, we won't be able to enter Xianfu Palace." Lan Qi was very anxious, but she was helpless at the moment. The only person left in the palace that she could rely on was the Emperor.
The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the Emperor, the Queen Mother has been in good health these past few days, so she was forced to come to the Lantern Festival tonight, but she has to worry about the old man with these things, which is unbearable to think about. Although the Queen Mother is also
It can be entrusted, but this will undoubtedly make the Queen Mother and the imperial concubine completely fall out. Thinking about the old relationship between the Queen Mother and Queen Niu Hulu, it really feels inappropriate.
"Begging the Emperor, have you made up your mind?" Concubine Rong revealed what was on Lan Qi's mind. What she wanted to do the most and dared not to do was to beg the Emperor.
Lan Qi knew that if she opened her mouth, Xuan Ye would not help her, but he never mentioned this matter to the emperor from the beginning to the end. He had already said that he would let the imperial concubine go this time and not pursue the Niu Hulu family.
The responsibility is not to destroy the peace of their family, but to let Fakasu continue to hold Aling'a hostage, but she insists on doing the opposite and seeking justice for her sister. How can she have the face to ask Xuan Ye for help now?
At this moment, Ji Xin hurriedly ran over and said that Princess Rongxian seemed to have a fever. Concubine Rong didn't care about Lan Qi for the moment and hurried back to check on her daughter's condition. Lan Qi became even more isolated and helpless. Concubine Rong was drunk and Concubine Rong was incapable.
Help her, the Queen Mother does not dare to disturb her, the Queen Mother is inconvenient to intervene in this matter, and Xuan Ye, she does not dare to ask.
The concubines were almost gone. Huan Chun put a cloak on his master's pocket and whispered, "Master, let's go."
Lan Qi was frustrated and her voice became heavy and hoarse. She asked Huan Chun: "What if she dies?"
"My servant doesn't know." Huan Chun shook his head. Nothing he said at this moment would be helpful to his master. If there was any conflict between the imperial concubine and noble Jue Chan, leading to a fight, her master might not care so much, but now she feels that
Zen nobleman put himself in danger entirely because of her. If there was really something wrong with him, she might never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.
"Why don't I go by myself? If the commotion is too big, no one will care about it." Lan Qi was ill and rushed to the doctor. "Besides, the imperial concubine will definitely be able to sober up tomorrow. I know I can wait for this whole night."
, but I’m afraid something will happen, and if something happens, it could kill someone overnight.”
"My Lady, don't panic." Huan Chun was helpless and persuaded, "You are really going to make a big fuss. Why not go to the Empress Dowager or the Queen Mother first? Wouldn't it be the same result? If the noise is big, it will be sooner or later.
Alarm them."
"It's all my fault..." This was the first time that she had experienced something like this for selfish reasons and had tricked others. Lan Qi's usual wisdom, intelligence and calmness were gone. At this moment, she didn't know what to do.
She broke into Xianfu Palace to kill everyone, but she had to take care of too many people and facts, and her weaknesses were completely exposed in this matter.
"Empress, let's go." Huan Chun had no choice but to urge his master to go back, and then asked the young eunuch to press the sedan chair to help her get into the sedan chair. Someone hurriedly came from behind. Under the lantern, he could clearly see Eunuch Liang who was beside the emperor.
He smiled and said anxiously, "It's great that the queen has not gone far."
Lan Qi was puzzled and asked him what was going on. Liang Gonggong said: "Long live the Lord, I asked my servant to deliver the order. I invite you to Qianqing Palace tonight."
"But?"
"I'm sorry, your Majesty. The Emperor probably has something to tell you. Otherwise, it would be most convenient to go directly to Yonghe Palace after returning from Ningshou Palace." Eunuch Liang didn't seem to understand what was going on. He tried to speak tactfully, and then gave instructions.
Concubine De was sent to Nuange in Qianqing Palace, and she went back to recover her life.
When Lan Qi arrived at Nuan Pavilion, Huan Chun was talking to some young eunuchs outside, wanting to know why the emperor had gone to Ningshou Palace and not returned yet. Not long after, news came, and Huan Chun hurried back and told Lan Qi: "
Your Majesty, Your Majesty went to Xianfu Palace tonight to ask Concubine Wen to sleep with you."
"Then..." Lan Qi looked at her blankly. She didn't understand. Since Xuan Ye was going to Xianfu Palace, why would he put himself here?
Huan Chun couldn't figure out what the emperor meant. The only thing he could think of was: "Mother, does the emperor already know?"
Lan Qi's head was agitated. How could she be so stupid? She knew that there were no secrets in this palace and nothing could be hidden from anyone. Xuan Ye and the Empress Dowager were both observant people. How could they not know what they were doing?
What are you doing every day? But you don’t see anything strange about the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace every day. Occasionally when you see the emperor, he doesn’t seem to care about anything. Lan Qi is self-righteous and deceiving herself. She feels that they don’t know this.
thing.
"What does the emperor want to do?" Lan Qi fell heavily on the warm bed, "Why does he leave me here?"
