Xing'er almost shrank her body into a ball. The more she leaned back, the more Empress De Fei moved forward. The anxious person cried and said: "Even if you want me to drink the medicine, I will definitely drink it."
"
Lan Qi said coldly: "I know you will definitely drink, but this is not what I want to hear."
No one knew what Concubine De said in Zhang's room that night. Only the sound of breaking something frightened the people outside. Wan Chang's heart was pounding for a long time, until Empress De Concubine left.
Later, the palace maid who was cleaning the house said that a bowl of medicine had been spilled inside, and then they remembered that Concubine De and Huan Chun had brought the food box in.
However, Wan Changzai did not dare to guess or talk nonsense, but the next day Zhang agreed to leave Changchun Garden and return to the palace. A wave of rumors followed her carriage and spread into the palace.
The willing little girl promised to be favored and got pregnant, so she was forced to take medicine and abort the child.
Such rumors spread in Changchun Garden for two or three days. Duan Bi couldn't help but ask Lan Qi what was going on. Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "What kind of temperament do I have? My sister still doesn't know? I took the anti-fetal medicine."
I gave her the tonic and it was fine if she didn't appreciate it. I thought she just accidentally dropped something, but after listening to the rumors in the past few days, I realized that she was wary of me giving her the medicine of tiger and wolf."
Duan concubine found it incredible, but Zhang promised to be acting strangely recently, as if her tail was flying to the sky after receiving divine favor. She thought that she should at least treat the concubine the same way as before, but she didn't expect that she also started to confront him openly and covertly.
Tsk tsk: "Who does she think she is, that she wants to make a big deal out of a small promise?"
Lan Qi smiled and said: "Don't you mean her experience is very similar to mine? I was just a regular back then, and my sister was also my hostess. Who knows what kind of future she will have in the future. She is looking for a future for herself.
, I can’t stop it either.”
Duan concubine was full of worries and warned: "It's right that she wants to make a future, but don't let her make a wrong decision. You have to be more careful. What if jealousy turns into hatred and will stumbling you in the future? It's hard for a villain to guard against it.
."
Lan Qi looked at her quietly. She knew that Sister Duanbi was saying these words to her now, and in a few days, what she said would be transmitted to the palace word for word. Concubine Rong was still in Jingyang Palace.
Stay still, how should she treat Zhang Yaosheng, who had a baby under her nose?
But that was a matter in the palace. If Lan Qi wanted to take care of it, she would have to wait until she returned to the palace. The emperor and the empress dowager seemed to want to wait until autumn before returning. They said that after autumn, the yellow leaves in the garden would be gone.
The scenery was desolate and not as good as the vibrant scenery today. Of course, this is a story for another day.
In the garden, Zi Zhang agreed to be sent back to the palace to have the baby, and it returned to its former purity. On that day, the concubines and the Queen Mother released the animals by the lake to pray for blessings. Although they were just joining in the fun, they also had many wishes for everyone. After releasing the animals, they dispersed.
Lan Qi followed the Empress Dowager halfway and then left with some excuse. Huan Chun had already taken care of her, and the noble Jue Chan was still at the lake.
When Lan Qi turned back, Lord Jue Chan was sitting on the big stone by the lake. He had a plate of snacks in his hand, carefully broke them into pieces and threw them into the lake to feed the fish, attracting swarms of colorful fish to come towards him.
She moved closer, and she didn't notice the movement behind her until Xianghe reminded her that Concubine De was coming. It was obvious that Jue Chan was very fond of Changchun Garden. At least in the Forbidden City, she would never see such a free and leisurely side.
Xianghe brought another plate of snacks and asked Empress De Fei to feed the fish. Lan Qi waved her hand and pushed it past. Huanchun immediately pulled Xianghe and said they should go play, and went to another place by the lake not far or near.
The palace maids and eunuchs also followed, leaving only two beauties comparable to the bustling spring scenery.
Jue Chan was a very perceptive person, and she knew that Concubine De had something to say when she saw her. She knew everything in her mind, and she might even have guessed what Concubine De was going to say.
"Myolie told me everything, but I still find it incredible. Why did she listen to you and be willing to do such a stupid thing?" Lan Qi looked at Lord Jue Chan calmly. She knew that she was smart and she didn't need to.
I'm not talking about beating around the bush, but the reason why I waited a few days before having a showdown with her was because I wanted both of us to calm down.
Mrs. Juechan was not surprised at all. She was also frank and answered seriously: "I took advantage of Zhang's loyalty to you. Moreover, Zhang promised to be smart and braver than ordinary people. She gave birth to her thirteenth brother last year.
What happened that night, I privately thought that Zhang promised to do it on purpose. Obviously, she didn’t want Ping Guiren to bully you or herself outside. No matter what, I value her having that courage. What’s going on right now cannot be
Let a man as timid as a mouse take charge."
Lan Qi still looked calm and just asked: "Why bother, for me?"
Mrs. Juechan's eyes met with hers, and they were very honest with each other. She smiled slightly and said, "Of course I do it for myself. You don't remember that you left Concubine Hui with me."
"These are two different things." Lan Qi said, "Don't mix your affairs and mine. I don't want to bear anything for your selfish desires."
"I understand."
Lan Qi frowned slightly and sighed: "Rather than you willingly giving or even sacrificing for me, I would rather ask for something from you. Anyway, it will make me feel guilty. Why don't you let me understand it in my heart?"
"I just think that if you were kept in the dark, everything would look more real. You are too kind if you don't say anything about Zhang's promise." Juechan said, "About the saffron matter, if you had more courage and kindness,
You must be brave enough not to ask the emperor to come forward in the end. I don’t know what will happen to you in the future, but kindness is your weakness. Even if you think you are cruel, you still can’t get rid of the kindness in your bones."
Once upon a time, the Empress Dowager and Aunt Sumala both taught Lan Qi not to let her kindness be exploited by others, but no matter what form of so-called exploitation, she did suffer from it time and time again, Huan Chun said
She is not the person to do those things, she is destined to lack a ruthless spirit.
Myolie was personally warned at the beginning that if she could not trample the enemy to death, she must keep her distance and not provoke him. But when it happened to her, she clearly had plenty of opportunities to trample the enemy to death, but she was swayed by her weak heart again and again.
Jue Chan could see it clearly, and presumably the Empress Dowager and Xuan Ye could also see it clearly. All the other shrewd women in the palace could figure it out right away.
"I am doing it for myself, and I will bring you one by the way." Jue Chan said with a serious expression, "The Empress Dowager's health is not as good as before, and she will pass away at any time and at any time. You cannot wait until then to be bullied.
In planning all this, they will definitely see that you have lost their reliance. As long as they really take action, they will never give you any room to fight back. What they will fight for in the future will not be the tenderness on the dragon bed. They all have elder brothers, and they will fight for everything.
It's the glory on the Dragon Throne. My Majesty, if you put back the Zhang promise, you are also willing to acknowledge me as my concubine, right?"
Lan Qi understands all these, whether it is the tenderness on the dragon couch or the glory on the dragon throne. With the powerful protection of the Empress Dowager for so many years, those people dare not act rashly, but even so, they still extend their claws again and again, even
She had already lost her fortune. In the future, when the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were not around, she didn't know what she would do. Everything Jue Chan could think of was in Lan Qi's heart.
"I asked her to go back and let her find her own way to get close to those people. I won't force her to succeed. I can't force her to make up her mind." Lan Qi shook her head helplessly and said solemnly, "I would really rather owe you a favor.
, and I don’t want you to be willing to plan for me.”
"Even if it's for you, it's to satisfy personal desires. For Zhang Yaosheng, doing anything for you is her greatest honor. Why should you feel guilty for satisfying our selfish desires?" Jue Chan said on her face.
Danfengqing looked at Concubine De calmly and said, "If you know yourself and your enemy, I can feel free to let you go. If you don't mind, I am willing to be your arm. I have told Huan Chun before that this is the same as what I once did for you."
The imperial concubine's plans are completely different."
Lan Qi will let Xing'er go, and will come and explain to Jue Chan today that she has decided to go down this road regardless of her mistake. At this moment, Jue Chan said that she is willing to be her arm, which was something she had not announced before.
With the exception of Myolie's chess piece, everything developed according to her own selfish wishes. Now she was no longer alone to try out the depths of the harem. In a sense, she finally took the first step.
.
"What about Concubine Hui? How are you going to treat her?" Lan Qi asked about this matter after she calmed down.
Master Juechan smiled easily: "The days are still long, take your time. I also have some kindness, I want her to experience the beautiful things in the world and never fall into the abyss of despair without regrets."
Lan Qi's heart trembled. The fierceness hidden in Jue Chan's relaxed smile was what she lacked in her bones. She didn't dare to ask Jue Chan to conspire with her for the rest of her life, but she needed such arms to help her fulfill herself.
Something that cannot be done cruelly.
"If one day you and I have conflicting minds, we can just explain it to each other. No one has to tie the other down. You are free." Lan Qi finally said, "I will not restrain you like a noble concubine. In the same way, I will also treat Xing.
My son said, if one day you want to leave this road, I will never stop you."
Jue Chan said with a smile: "I am living on this road. If I leave this road, I will lose the meaning of living. You can rest assured, my queen. Besides, I am mainly doing it for myself and just helping you."
Lan Qi left the lakeside again, turned around and heard Xianghe saying with a smile: "Master, come and take a look, there is a big golden carp here." She couldn't walk far, so she couldn't help but look back. Over there, the master and the servant were watching the fish in the lake.
Amidst the laughter and laughter, it was impossible to tell what Jue Chan said to him just now.
"Your Majesty, is Master Jue Chan really reliable?" Huan Chun's suspicion is not a bad thing.
Lan Qi shook her head and said: "Now, I have chosen all this by myself. I will bear all the consequences in the future."
