The imperial doctors were helpless, which aroused the emperor's anger. If they didn't want to grudge their grandmother, they would have wanted to kill these mediocre people. They retreated tremblingly, trying to find a way to save the emperor's wife. When they walked into the back hall, they were trapped.
It was deathly silent, and everyone was worried.
Lan Qi was thinking that Concubine Hui was provoking them again, so she let the concubine out again. She didn't pay attention to what was going on in the palace, so the emperor suddenly shouted, "What are you doing here?" which really shocked her.
Looking up, Xuan Ye's eyes were looking at the imperial concubine, and beside the imperial concubine stood the fourth elder brother. Lan Qi saw that the fourth elder brother had also arrived at this moment. Looking back, wasn't the child in Yonghe Palace with Yuxi?
?
"Go back immediately, what do you want you to do?" Xuan Ye's tone sounded a bit cruel. The imperial concubine was scared and unconvinced. Yinzhen next to him didn't even understand why his father was angry. He wanted to explain to his mother,
My father had already yelled angrily, "Why don't you get out of here?"
The eyes of the imperial concubine were red. The emperor shouted at her in front of so many people, not only Concubine De, but also a room full of palace maids and eunuchs. Such a strong word was shouted at her.
"Eniang." Yinzhen pulled his mother, and the child realized that they should not be here anymore. Instead, the imperial concubine was pulled and pushed away by her son. Lan Qi stood up and saw her off respectfully. After the imperial concubine left, she looked
Looking at Xuan Ye, he was wondering if he should leave too.
The emperor was furious, and Eunuch Li signaled all the maids and eunuchs in the palace to retreat. Lan Qi felt that Xuan Ye was full of anger now, and getting close would definitely hurt her body. It was better for them to calm down, so she turned around and went to the inner palace to visit the Empress Dowager, but she heard that Xuan Ye
He asked her behind her back: "What's going on? Why did you bring Yinzhen here? Aren't you all sensible?"
Lan Qi's heart sank. After all, she was talking about her son. No matter who raised him, the fourth elder brother was her son. However, she couldn't figure out what the emperor had to be angry about. She just turned around and replied: "I am alone."
Come on, if you hadn't scolded my wife just now, I wouldn't have even seen Brother Si next to her."
Xuan Ye's expression finally softened, as if he was saying to himself: "Yes, you are not so confused."
Lan Qi looked at him. She had seen Xuan Ye's sadness, when Yin Zuo died, when the little girl was born and mourned, but she had never seen the hesitation and fear that was constantly overflowing from her eyes at this moment. The man in front of her was no longer there.
So majestic, she suddenly understood that Xuan Ye at this moment was just a grandson who was worried that his grandmother would leave him.
It was the Empress Dowager who gave Xuan Ye a life and changed his fate as a prince who was not loved by his father. She wanted him to leave the palace and live in the palace since he was a child. In those years when he was taken care of by eunuchs and maids, without the guidance of his father and the love of his mother, the little boy
How hesitant and scared should a child be? Until the Empress Dowager took him back, personally raised and taught him, and trained him into a generation of indomitable monarchs. He shared the ups and downs, and the love between ancestors and grandchildren for more than 30 years, it is no wonder that he would panic.
, no wonder he would get angry at the imperial concubine without any scruples.
"Did she think that if the imperial grandmother died, she could give some explanations to the fourth elder brother?" Xuan Ye clenched his fists tightly in his hands, looking at Lan Qi with such cold eyes that it could make people feel chilling in his heart, "
She has lived in vain for more than 20 years. What she did is so obvious, is she waiting for the fourth brother to be criticized by everyone, waiting to criticize the child with words and words? I know that raising the child for her is your biggest mistake.
!”
There was chilling and anger in these words. Lan Qi could at least hear that the last sentence was an angry word. She was not like the imperial concubine who didn't understand the situation and got angry over a few words. But she felt sorry for Xuan Ye.
, I felt sorry for the monarch who could face the court and the world without anger and calmness, but at this moment he was panicked. He couldn't help but stepped forward, gently hugged Xuan Ye's shoulders, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother will get better, she will get better."
Although these words were so false that even Lan Qi herself could not believe them, but there was nothing else to say at the moment. She gently comforted the helpless emperor, and Xuan Ye finally calmed down.
"I will accompany you to see the Empress Dowager. When the Empress Dowager wakes up, she will definitely want to see the Emperor first." Lan Qi smiled slightly and took his hand, "Don't be anxious, Your Majesty, we have already agreed on all this.
Yes, you promised the Queen Mother that no matter what happens in the end, you will accompany your grandmother and spend her last days in peace and comfort."
She said this with a smile, tears welling up in her eyes after she finished speaking, but she quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said to Xuan Ye, "I promised the Empress Dowager that I will make her happy every day."
"I know." Xuan Ye's eyes were slightly moist, but he finally tried his best to suppress the sadness. He is a man and the monarch of the world. He cannot shed tears at will and cannot let anyone see his cowardice.
When the two emperors and concubines entered the inner hall, the empress dowager was already awake, leaning lazily on the big pillow. When she saw them coming in, she smiled kindly and stretched out her hand for Lan Qi to come to her. She was weak but in good spirits. She smiled.
He complained: "The emperor has bullied you again. Look at the red circles under your eyes. Have you cried?" Then he said to Xuan Ye, "Why are you scolding her? I accidentally dropped it myself. At this age, it is time for me to
Some kid came up to make me trip up, so that I could be urged to leave earlier."
Xuan Ye laughed and blamed his grandmother for talking nonsense. As a result, the dignified man choked up while talking, and was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager: "Supreme Nine-Five, why are you crying? Stop it now."
Xuan Ye was happy to see that his grandmother still had the energy to teach people. The imperial doctor also said that the Queen Mother was not sick, but she was old. One day her energy was only one day, and one day she fell asleep and never woke up, and her life would disappear naturally.
, the imperial doctors all said that it was a real blessing that the Queen Mother did not have to suffer from diseases in her later years.
In the past, Lan Qi accompanied Xuan Ye on a trip to Mount Wutai. Her wish for the gods and Buddhas was that the Empress Dowager would not suffer in her old age. Now she sees that God has granted her wish and has been so kind to her. She dare not continue to do so.
I don't expect anything else, I just hope that I can accompany him day by day, so that the old man can leave this world peacefully and happily.
After all, the old man's energy was limited and he got tired after talking for a while. Before sending Xuan Ye and Lan Qi to leave, he brought up the matter of the imperial concubine. She said that the royal family was also responsible for the concubine's behavior. Stop blaming a crazy woman and let Xuan Ye continue as usual.
Send her back into custody and take good care of her. Everyone around her will forgive her and don't hold her accountable.
Xuan Ye would definitely obey his grandmother's instructions, not to mention that he knew that he was the one who secretly drugged the concubine and caused her to become demented. If not for other people's instigation, the concubine would not have come to Cining Palace to scare the Empress Dowager. The root of the mistake was him.
body, so he blamed himself more deeply than ever.
Whoever let the concubine out must be traced, otherwise there will be evil people lurking in the harem, which will cause greater trouble sooner or later. After Lan Qi and Xuan Ye separated, she went to Eunuch Liang to ask about the situation of Xianfu Palace.
Knowing that Dongyun had been drugged into a coma, he hadn't woken up yet. The imperial concubine ran out while the food was being delivered. At that time, everyone was setting up in the dining room, and Dongyun was not following the imperial concubine vigilantly.
Due to laziness and negligence, the door was left open and the concubine was let out.
The people who acted knew that this result could only be achieved by knocking down Dongyun. It can be seen that the observation of Xianfu Palace took more than a day or two. The only person who could come to Lan Qi's mind at the moment was Hui Fei, but she knew that Hui Fei was not stupid.
She had just been caught using her crooked thinking. If she did something like this again, why not wait for someone to catch her?
And when the imperial concubine is released, how do you know that she will definitely be able to find Cining Palace?
How could he do such a bold thing in the palace and hide all traces of his whereabouts?
When the emperor and Concubine De were still in Cining Palace, Eunuch Liang had already sent people to check on everyone who could be questioned along the way from Cining Palace to Xianfu Palace. No one saw anything weird. Although the concubine was demented,
Crazy, under the care of Dongyun, she was dressed decently and clean every day. Even if she walked from Xianfu Palace to Cining Palace normally, no one would see her. How on earth could she come all the way without disturbing anyone and suddenly break into
Entering Cining Palace caught everyone off guard?
In the Yonghe Palace, noble Jue Chan had been waiting for a long time. After meeting Concubine De, they all listened to Eunuch Liang report these things. Concubine De asked her if she would still be Concubine Hui, just like the concubine she was before, because she did what everyone did.
Even though she thought it was impossible, she was "upright" and not afraid of being suspected. In this case, the same thing could happen to Concubine Hui.
Noble Jue Chan also had doubts. Concubine Hui was no less courageous than her. Otherwise, she would not have repeatedly taken risks for so many years. She had clearly lost the will of her superiors and challenged their authority again and again, and she had narrowly escaped death every time.
As a result, her ambition will become more and more inflated.
However, Eunuch Liang soon received news that Concubine Hui had really been ill these past few days. I wonder if she was angry with Lord Jue Chan. After the last meeting that day, Concubine Hui had been ill. She was no longer pretending to be ill and hiding from the world.
This time she was seriously ill. She didn't go to Chengqian Palace to congratulate Fourth Brother on her birthday today because she had a fever that didn't go away. Thinking about how sick she was, it seemed that she really didn't have the heart to bother with these things.
"You can't escape suspicion even if you are sick." But Lan Qi refused to let her go easily and looked at Lord Jue Chan steadily, "I want to ask her."
Noble Jue Chan was stunned and reminded Concubine De: "In this case, you and Concubine Hui will really be at odds with each other, and may even be at odds with each other."
Lan Qi said: "We have solid evidence for what happened last time. If we can't find out who did it this time, she will be dead. If she hadn't done it, she would do everything possible to clear herself from suspicion.
And the only thing that can clear her of suspicion is to find the real murderer."
Noble Jue Chan's eyes lit up and he asked: "Is your Majesty saying, use evil to fight evil?"
