The desperate person seemed to hear the sound of heartbreak again. Four simple words shattered all her hopes. She could hear the footsteps fading away, and she asked sternly: "Your Majesty... you hate my sister just like you did before.
Do you hate me, my concubine? But I, my concubine, treat you wholeheartedly."
Xuan Ye had already crossed the threshold, steadied himself a little, and said coldly: "I have never hated your sister. I canonized her as queen because she can shoulder the responsibility, and you are not qualified to be compared with her."
After these words, the tall figure quickly disappeared from the door, and there was a hurried movement of the imperial chariot leaving outside. Immediately, the door of Xianfu Palace was closed. In the quiet night, the click of the lock could still be heard, but the emperor
To give the imperial concubine face, this lock is placed on the inside of the door. After locking, the eunuch throws the key out of the wall. If anyone or something comes in or out in the future, it will always be troublesome. If it is annoying, just hang the lock outside.
, anyway, except for the imperial concubine, no one cares.
Xianfu Palace became a "cold palace" overnight. In the future, when discussing in the Sixth Palace, there will always be people who know that it was the imperial concubine who abused Lord Jue Chan. Naturally, some people have already said that the imperial concubine poisoned De Concubine's sister and gave birth to a miscarriage.
It is natural for a concubine to hate a noble concubine. On the night of the Lantern Festival, there were all kinds of weird things. For example, Concubine De was left in Qianqing Palace, and the emperor went to Xianfu Palace, but broke up unhappy and rushed back to talk to Concubine De. In short, everything was wrong.
This shows that Concubine Wen’s fate is closely related to Concubine De.
Quietly, Ping Guiren was banned and didn't know when he would come out. Even Concubine Wen's Xianfu Palace became a cold palace. The gentle and gentle woman in Yonghe Palace who seemed to be uncontested was really not easy to mess with.
But these are all afterthoughts, they are all discussions about Yonghe Palace in the future. At this moment, Wu Yalanqi is staying in the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace in confusion. The hustle and bustle of the night banquet seems to be lingering in her ears, waiting hour after hour.
After drinking, and the room was as warm as spring, her back gradually ached from sitting. She leaned on the big pillow unconsciously, staring at one thing in her mind. She could easily fall asleep if she concentrated too much. In the warm breath,
Lan Qi gradually became confused.
"Master, the Emperor has returned to Qianqing Palace." Huan Chun rushed in to inform him, but saw Lan Qi leaning on the kang as if she was about to fall asleep. He was awakened by her shout, but the person who was so drunk could not help but feel dizzy.
Even though she sat up, her face was still blank. In fact, when she heard that Xuan Ye had returned to the palace, Lan Qi's heart dropped. She somehow felt more at ease, and her spirit became more relaxed.
But he couldn't tolerate her being secretly happy and confused. Immediately, a young eunuch came up and said, "Long live the Lord, I want you to come over and serve me."
Lan Qi agreed, and Huan Chun put her shoes on in a hurry. When he was anxious, he didn't bother to check the master's appearance. It was more important to send people over first. There were eunuchs here to bring water basins, barrels and hot water in and out. They had to serve the emperor.
Washing and changing clothes, Lan Qi was very easy to do, but a tipsy person would inevitably feel dizzy, so she took the basin brought in by the little eunuch, and it slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. The movement in the middle of the night shocked people's hearts.
, Lan Qi’s dizzy head was also shaken awake.
"Is it hot?" The emperor suddenly came out and saw the water on the ground. He saw Lan Qi standing aside calmly. The tense expression on his face suddenly relaxed. When Lan Qi saw Xuan Ye, her empty heart was instantly filled.
, came up to him and wanted to talk to him, but Xuan Ye turned around and walked in again, ignoring her.
Huan Chun didn't drink, and was much clearer than his master. Seeing this attitude, he winked at the little eunuchs nearby, put down their things and hurried out. When Lan Qi came in again with hot water, she heard the sound of the bedroom door closing.
While waiting for the emperor's return, Lan Qi had already been washed by Huan Chun, and because of this, she felt a little more sleepy and was able to fall asleep. However, her sleep was not solid, and she was suddenly woken up by Huan Chun.
She suddenly saw Xuan Ye coming back, but she didn't know anything about what was going on outside. The only thing she could think of was how painful it would be in Xianfu Palace if the emperor left like this in the middle of the night. But now, she no longer has any sympathy for Concubine Wen.
.
"Your Majesty, please wash your hands." Lan Qi brought the hot water to the heated stove.
When he spoke, he just pretended not to hear.
The water basin is quite heavy. On weekdays, a young eunuch would often help him. Even when he was alone, it was a matter of effort. Today, holding it without moving, Lan Qi felt heavy. The royal copper basin was not light in nature, and it was difficult to hold it in place.
Putting a basin of hot water, she held it unsteadily to avoid spilling the water, and used her strength more carefully. Her hands were trembling without putting down the emperor's book.
"Your Majesty..." She wanted to invite him again, but it could be seen that Xuan Ye didn't move his eyelids. He pursed his lips and felt very aggrieved. His mind suddenly became hot, so he turned around and put down the basin. He released his heavy weight with both hands and felt even more uncomfortable.
Feeling sore, I shook my arm unconsciously.
When Xuan Ye saw her running away, he raised his eyes and saw her standing aside rubbing her arms. He was angry and amused, and said coldly: "You can't stand this. Don't you boast that you serve the emperor in Cining Palace every day?"
Grandma, can’t you do this little thing?”
Every word in the sentence was full of gunpowder. Lan Qi felt that she was in danger tonight, but wasting her time like this was not the way to go. She knew that Xuan Ye didn't hate her, and it was just because she felt unhappy that she made such a fuss, but it was better to punish her or scold her.
, everyone is tired in the middle of the night, can you please stop wasting yourself like this?
"I can't say anything about you anymore?" Xuan Ye was annoyed when he saw Lan Qijian not moving there, and scolded her, "Come here!"
Lan Qi was so frightened that she moved in front of Xuan Ye unconsciously. Only then did Xuan Ye take a closer look at her. Suddenly he saw a mark on her face. She was nervous and distressed. He raised his hand and pinched her chin and turned around.
Ask: "Where did you get it?"
Lan Qi didn't understand it herself, so she reached out and touched it. She thought for a long time before reacting, and hesitated awkwardly: "It's probably... the mark left by falling asleep just now."
Xuan Ye touched it and found that it was indeed soft and not like scars, and some areas gradually faded away, which made him feel a little relieved. But when he thought of cleaning up the mess for her in Xianfu Palace, she was dozing comfortably here, with a smile on her face.
She frowned and bit her lip slightly, wishing to beat her to relieve her anger, but she still lowered her head and mouthed: "I am in Cining Palace, and I don't have to do the work of carrying basins and water. The Empress Dowager is reluctant to do so."
Xuan Ye suddenly hardened his heart and said with a cold face: "But do you dare to tell the imperial grandmother what you did? I'm afraid that from now on, you won't even be able to do the job of carrying basins and delivering water in Cining Palace.
Come on, why does the Imperial Grandmother keep a useless person by her side?"
These words were serious, and Lan Qi's expression became tense. While waiting, she thought about everything. How could the emperor not know what she was doing? She deceived herself and chose to ignore this fact, thinking that since it had been so long
No one came to intervene, that is, they didn't know. Now that Xuan Ye said this to her, she was not surprised at all, but felt sad because she felt that she had done nothing wrong.
The emperor asked again: "Did you find someone to do it when the baby was crying in Xianfu Palace?"
Lan Qi nodded, and Xuan Ye asked her again if she asked Jue Chan to help bring out the ghost in the imperial concubine's heart. She also admitted it. The room became quiet for a while, and the emperor could be heard sighing slightly, and he didn't dare to look up for a long time.
He glanced at her, then couldn't help but whispered softly: "I just want to give my sister justice."
"But what did I tell you?" Xuan Ye's voice was very angry, and every word shocked Lan Qi to panic, but she understood that if she was really disgusted and heartbroken, who would have the time to teach her a lesson in the middle of the night?
With this as my support, I gradually became more courageous. Instead of holding it in my heart and becoming a grudge, or going further and further away in the future, it is better to speak clearly now, so that even if we are separated from now on, my heart will be open.
"I understand that everything must be done with the overall situation in mind, but..."
"Shut up." Xuan Ye scolded her suddenly, not listening to her explanation at all, and said with a cold face, "I don't understand what you want to say? Do you think I don't even know what you are thinking? On the contrary, I am too much
I was surprised, and I kept looking at you coldly, trying to see if you were confused or changed. You clearly know that there is nothing in this palace that I don’t know about, but I just want to see if I care and am willing to intervene. What’s the result?”
Lan Qi had already raised her head to look at him. The expression on Xuan Ye's face was a bit complicated, and she couldn't read the joy, anger, sorrow and joy. Just when she was about to feel alienated, the emperor said: "If you don't have the ability, just practice and then scheme against others.
If you are no good or no good, you still want me to clean up the mess for you. Do you know that Lord Jue Chan was tortured to the point where he was barely breathing, and this is the result you want?"
"She?" Lan Qi was stunned. She knew that Jue Chan had been tortured, but she didn't dare to imagine that she would be so miserable with only half a breath left.
"Why don't you come and tell me what you want? You know full well..."
"The emperor has already said that there will be no further investigation, but I am not willing to accept it. My sister will be in Niu Hulu's family for the rest of her life." Lan Qi was stopped just now, but at this moment, she interrupted the emperor and said what was on her mind, "Concubine.
She is just one of the harems. Over the years, there have been many new people in the harem. I don’t know if the emperor can remember my concubine. If you don’t fight for your sister now, will you not be able to protect her in the future and watch her being bullied? You are now
We need to use the Niu Hulu family, but what will happen in more than ten years? If the Niu Hulu family is no longer important by then, my sister will still be in that family."
"Then you, just practice your skills before you do these things." Xuan Ye's face was cold, but not ruthless, and there was a soft light in his eyes, "If I want to stop you, why wait until now, the emperor's grandmother said I want to
Let you try the depth of this harem, but as of today, if I don't show up anymore, if the noble Jue Chan freezes to death in Xianfu Palace, you will bear this guilt for the rest of your life. That's why I am angry, angry with you for following the imperial grandmother like this
It’s been a long time and I haven’t learned anything at all.”
Lan Qi's forehead was hit hard, causing her to stumble back in pain, but Xuan Ye quickly held her hand, and this touch brought tears to her eyes.
