Concubine Rong knew what she meant. Although Zhang promised to be fine, according to the news Duan concubine sent back a few days ago, Lan Qi obviously had a gap with Zhang Jia, but she didn't see it with her own eyes.
I can't easily judge what is going on. Anyway, she is not in this circle of interests. This time, it is better to stand on the dry shore.
In this compartment, Xiaoyu came back from inquiring about the scene outside, stood by the couch and said to the master: "You are right, Concubine Hui talked to Concubine Rong in front of the door for a long time, and then she left.
"
Zhang agreed and nodded, "They should be talking about me."
Xiaoyu frowned and asked: "Master, are those words that were spread in the garden a few days ago really true? How come we are so good, but they want to arrange us like this? Why did Concubine De drop all the medicine when she came to see you that day?
?”
"It's nothing, don't worry about it. The medicine fell out because of slippery hands." Zhang promised to deal with Xiao Yu and asked her to go to the small kitchen to see how the chicken soup with Hericium mushrooms was going. She was just waiting for one person.
, then I touched the door of my heart and took a breath.
Just now, I always felt that Concubine Hui was looking at me straightly, but I didn't dare to make eye contact with her. I tried my best to maintain my original appearance, but I couldn't help but feel guilty and was afraid that my purpose would be seen through.
Noble Jue Chan told her not to get close to those people as soon as she returned to the palace. They were so smart and would think it was abnormal. She could do whatever she wanted when she returned to the palace. What mattered was that Concubine De's attitude had changed. They
Only when she is unpredictable will she start to waver. Only when one or two things happen that make Zhang Yingxing and De Fei completely break up, can she show her intention to find another supporter.
In short, don't think that it will happen overnight. Concubine Yi is easy to deal with. If you want to deceive Concubine Hui, you must be careful about everything. Even if you really go to Concubine Hui in the future, you must be careful about everything.
After thinking about it, Zhang promised to feel his heart sinking, but as soon as he remembered what happened in Yingtai, he became full of courage for everything. If Empress De Fei had not saved her, she might have been beaten to death.
, she would never be discovered by anyone in that kind of place for the rest of her life, and her family would have nowhere to seek justice for herself, and they would not even know that she was dead. It can be said that she was considered a person who died once, so what else is there to live for?
Terrible?
"My child, I really hope that you are a female doll. This time, I can't let Empress De Fei take care of you. You can't get the best care like your brother, but I will try my best to stay by your side. You haven't been born yet.
Mom has started to use you, and she will love you the most in the future and make it up to you."
Zhang promised to caress her unseen belly. She had already discussed it with Lord Jue Chan and told Empress De Fei that the child would be given as a gift to those people. It was not yet known which one would adopt it. If it was the elder brother,
Everyone must want it. If it is a princess, it is better than nothing. It always seems more sincere to give away all the children.
After this matter was lively in the Forbidden City and Changchun Garden for a while, as Zhang promised to come back to have the baby, it suddenly cooled down. There was no talk of competing for favors from Changchun Garden, and Zhang promised to be very quiet in the palace.
Gradually, some people became convinced that it must be Concubine De's jealousy that caused such things. Now that the person who made her jealous and took away her favor has left, there will naturally be no conflict.
People in the palace often say that Concubine De is foxy and charming to the emperor, saying that she is gentle and kind on the surface, but secretly she is a vixen. Now that the fox's tail is showing little by little, many people are secretly happy, waiting to see the day when Concubine De's misdeeds are exposed. Some people even look forward to it.
After the Empress Dowager returns to the west, let's see who she relies on for support.
These things and words were passed down from mouth to mouth by the eunuchs and maids, and bits and pieces were also passed into the Xianfu Palace. Now Concubine Wen lives like a walking corpse all day long. Although she no longer goes on a hunger strike to seek death like before, she can be in a daze all day long and not interact with others.
After speaking, everyone in Xianfu Palace understood that there was no hope for following the imperial concubine.
Although the tenth prince did not follow him to Changchun Garden, he still stayed in Ningshou Palace. He said that the concubine was not in good health and was not suitable to be raised. He openly or secretly would not return the child to her. But the concubine was indifferent to this.
Others may seem very cold and heartless, but Dongyun has always known that her master has never shown any love for children, even those born by himself, they are nothing more than that.
Dongyun was ill that day and was not here to serve the concubine. Other maids came to take over for the day. They brought porridge to the concubine at noon. They stood aside and wanted to say something to cheer up the master. They told stories about the rumors in the palace so that the concubine could hear them.
Concubine De and Zhang agreed to turn against each other, but instead got close to the noble Jue Chan. She nodded repeatedly: "Don't they believe it? That Concubine Jue Chan had hooked up with Concubine De a long time ago. It's my fault that I treated her so well. Now I'm like this
It’s all their fault.”
The palace maid was shocked. She didn't want to say these resentful words to the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine kept talking, saying that she would regroup in the future to seek justice for herself, and that she would never let those bitches go.
…
Seeing her mistress's eyes straightened and veins protruding on her forehead, the palace maid was frightened and ran to find Dongyun. Dongyun came dragging the sick body and knew that her mistress was suffering from hysteria again. He rubbed her body to wake her up, but the good man suddenly clenched his teeth.
He started to have convulsions, and now he couldn't help but seek help from an imperial physician.
When the imperial doctor hurriedly arrived to administer injections and medicine, it took a long time for the imperial concubine to fall asleep. The imperial doctor repeatedly warned Dongyun: "Don't let the empress be irritated again."
Dongyun asked with tears in her eyes: "Is our queen's disease really incurable?"
In a blink of an eye, it was already May. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor and the prince went to pay homage to Queen Hesheli. They would leave Changchun Garden and not return until after the festival. The Queen Mother asked Lan Qi to bring Lan Ying to play for two days. On this day, my sister came into the garden.
After walking around for a while, they came to Ruijingxuan. Lan Qi scolded her for not following the rules, but Lan Ying said that the Empress Dowager sent someone to show her around, and that she had already kowtowed in Ningchun Hall.
"But I've been waiting for you for a long time. What's more important, the scenery in the garden, or meeting my sister?" Lan Qi smiled and acted coquettishly with her sister. Seeing the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, she asked her to wash her face. It wasn't really sunny yet.
It's hot, and I'll catch a cold when the wind blows.
Lan Ying also knew that the rules here were not as strict as those in the palace, so she ran to wash her face and ran back carelessly. Wen Xian was taking a nap, otherwise it would not be the turn for the two of them to talk. Lan Ying talked about things at home, and suddenly thought
He got up and said: "Aling'a told me the day before yesterday that the imperial concubine's illness is not getting better and she is already a little confused. I feel really uncomfortable hearing. How did it get to this point?"
The news that the imperial concubine was suffering from hysteria had reached Changchun Garden in April, but what else could be done besides treatment? Perhaps letting her out to relax, or even taking her to the garden to recuperate, would do something for her.
However, she was tolerated time and time again before, which not only failed to correct her mind, but also made her plot against others even more. No matter how kind Lan Qi was told, she could still tell the difference between right and wrong.
Furthermore, it was not her turn as a concubine to intervene in the matter of the imperial concubine. Both the emperor and the queen mother were determined to let her stay in Xianfu Palace to recuperate, so the only option was to recuperate.
"It's a shame for the people of Xianfu Palace." Lan Ying sighed, "Aling'a said that Dongyun has been loyal to Queen Niu Hulu for more than 20 years since she followed Queen Niu Hulu. Although she helped the imperial concubine to harm me, I didn't
I hate her very much. Such a person is so rare. It's a pity that the imperial concubine doesn't cherish her. Now that she is so ill and unconscious, Dongyun will never leave her."
Lan Qi said solemnly: "To you, Dongyun is one of the murderers, but to the Niu Hulu family, Dongyun is indeed a benefactor. She has served their two concubines conscientiously. If you look at her from the perspective of the family,
That's right. To be disrespectful, if the imperial concubine continues like this, I'm afraid her life will not last long. One day, I will make the decision. You can take Dongyun away so that she can live a more comfortable life for the rest of her life."
Lan Ying nodded: "When the time comes, I will come to ask for help from my sister. It can be considered a good thing for us sisters to do."
At this time, Huan Chun served snacks. The freshly steamed milk and egg custard was topped with a layer of sophora nectar. It was crystal clear and fragrant. Lan Ying said that they really knew how to pour these things, so they moved the spoons. She only heard her sister cough a few times.
He made a loud noise, waved his hands and frowned and said, "Why does it smell so bad? I can't even breathe."
Lan Ying muttered: "It's so sweet, how can it not smell good?" Then she scooped up a big spoonful and stuffed it into her mouth. Lan Qi saw that she was eating deliciously, but her stomach was turbulent and she fell directly on the kang.
He started retching, which frightened everyone.
"Go and ask the imperial doctor to come." After Lan Qi calmed down, she directly ordered Huan Chun, counting the days with her fingers, feeling nervous in her heart.
She has always remembered the love she had with Xuan Ye on the tenth day of the lunar month in the capital inn, hoping to be blessed by God again. However, she did not receive a monthly letter in February, so she did not dare to make it too public about the absence of April.
Counting some days, Imperial Physician Xuan came to see if he had it, he could tell at a glance. If he didn't, he would have missed it.
After the imperial doctor arrived, he carefully diagnosed the pulse of Empress De Fei. Lan Ying and Huan Chun stood nearby and did not dare to vent their anger. Their faces were so nervous that their expressions changed. Lan Qi looked up inadvertently, burst out laughing, and scolded: "
Even if there are, you will scare them away."
Lan Ying was anxious and blamed her sister for talking nonsense, but at this moment the imperial doctor was already smiling, retreated and lay on the ground and said: "I congratulate the Imperial Concubine, the empress is happy."
The person who was still smiling just now suddenly burst into tears. Lan Qi knew very well that this was almost her last time. If she didn't say that she was in trouble, she should also take care of her body. How could she really do it?
If you give birth every year, do you still want to stay with Xuan Ye for the rest of your life?
But she still wanted to have a son in her heart, and she couldn't get rid of this idea. She fully hoped that Yin Zuo could come to her to be her mother again. Although this was unrealistic, she couldn't convince herself to face the reality and turn her back on others.
Her sadness never subsided, and God was kind to her after all. That day she prayed for Yinzuo's blessings at the Chenghuang Temple. Did she move God?
Huan Chun couldn't help being overjoyed, and came up to her and said, "Your Majesty, please let me go to Ningchun Hall to announce the good news. The Empress Dowager must be extremely happy."
