"I was afraid that the empress would be worried about me if she found out." Although Zhang promised to be hurt all over his body, he was not in a bad mood. He said to Xiao Yu disdainfully, "You think she is very powerful because Ping Guiren bullied me. I saw it, but
She is a poor person who is begging for mercy from Concubine Hui. Thinking about how arrogant she used to be, and now she is submissive to Concubine Hui, I really look down on her."
Xiaoyu blamed her master: "But you are the one who is hurt right now."
Zhang agreed and shook his head: "Mrs. Yi Fei will definitely not be able to stand me looking like this. She also expects me to seduce the emperor so that she can speak for her in front of the emperor. If I am ruined and disfigured, will she find another person?
Although it’s not something I should be proud of, there are really not many concubines in the palace who are better off than me. Don’t worry, Concubine Yi will protect me and prevent Mr. Ping from hurting me again.”
"I don't know what to say to you, my slave." Xiaoyu frowned, holding her promising hand, with rows of blisters on it, she said worriedly, "If we leave scars, Concubine Yi will really dislike us."
Zhang promised not to care, but comforted Xiao Yu: "It just so happens that I can use the excuse to recuperate in the house, so that I can avoid getting into trouble before the queen is born. The imperial doctor in the palace has many ways to prevent me from leaving scars."
However, this incident was not done behind closed doors in the Changchun Palace, so no one outside could know about it. Someone had to clean up the broken pieces of porcelain stained with blood. Now Bao Yun is doing menial work in the Changchun Palace. Although
There was no shortage of well-meaning maids and eunuchs to take care of her, but there were always some ill-intentioned people who would add insult to injury and bully her, a once respectable palace maid, by giving her all the menial work. What a coincidence, she was able to clean up the blood-stained porcelain pieces and leave them all to her.
Saw it.
It was two days later when Lan Qi found out that Xing'er had been tortured and injured by Ping Guiren. The news came from Ningshou Palace. The maid next to Grandma Sumala sent it. Huan Chun was also by her side at that time.
After they left, she said guiltily: "When I saw Mr. Ping that day, I didn't expect that she was going to Changchun Palace. I didn't want to bother you, so I didn't mention it. Sure enough, she still didn't stop. I shouldn't have said this to a slave, but Mr. Ping was like this.
If you struggle, you will ruin yourself sooner or later."
Lan Qi looked very serious and said with a bit of hatred: "The emperor ignores her and is tolerant to the greatest extent, but she doesn't know it. After all, she is the prince's aunt. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will hate her and embarrass the prince?"
When talking about who conveyed the news to Ningshou Palace, Huanchun couldn't help but ask his master: "Did it come from Sister Baoyun?"
Lan Qi felt it made sense: "For Concubine Hui, it is best to let Bao Yun leave, but since she is still in Changchun Palace, there must be some reason."
Huan Chun said: "It's a pity that grandma is not in good health. She was tired when she came to accompany you to give birth to the baby that day. Otherwise, we would understand everything if we asked grandma."
When she mentioned Grandma Sumala, the expression on Lan Qi's face softened, and she said worriedly: "As Grandma gets older, it is inevitable that she will get sick. But when I looked at Grandma that day, I knew why she couldn't cheer up. I am safe.
After giving birth, she no longer had anything to worry about. Now all she could do was miss the Queen Mother, and how could she be cured of her heart ailments without the help of heart medicine."
Huan Chun sighed: "Fortunately, you have cheered up. The emperor and his brothers will be happy when they come back and see that you are in good spirits day by day."
Lan Qi nodded with a smile, thinking of her man and her children, and felt warm in her heart, but the reality was cruelly before her eyes, and she couldn't help but say: "No matter how big the storm is, there will be a break, no matter how difficult or numerous things are,
I have to do it piece by piece, and if I don’t take good care of myself, nothing will work.”
Huan Chun was so happy that he wanted to bring the thirteenth brother and the little princess to let his master relax, but he was told: "You can find a way to promise Xiao Yu next to you to come, and don't let anyone find out. If
Forget it if you don’t succeed, the most important thing is not to let anyone find out.”
"Don't worry, Madam, I can still succeed in this palace." Huan Chun was quite confident and couldn't help but feel a little excited when his master wanted to take action. Lan Qi told her some more words, and then she no longer bothered about these things.
Worrying, she understood that the only thing she should do now was to take good care of her body quickly and stay healthy.
Two days later, under Huan Chun's careful arrangement, Xiao Yu was taken into Yonghe Palace without anyone noticing. The girl didn't even know where she went. Suddenly she saw Empress De Fei in the dormitory.
The girl burst into tears suddenly, forgot to salute, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please take us away quickly."
Lan Qi felt sorry for her, so she quickly asked Huan Chun to pull her up, and set up a small stool for her to sit by the couch. She also asked if she was hungry or thirsty.
, I am just worried every day... Madam, you and my family promise not to become enemies, right?"
"Silly girl, what kind of enemy is not your enemy?" Huan Chun smiled at the side and touched Xiao Yu's head, "You have to take good care of Zhang Zhengxing. Is Zhan Zheng's injury better?"
But before Xiao Yu could answer, Lan Qi signaled Huan Chun to stay away. It wasn't that she couldn't listen to something important, but he wanted her to see if anyone was eavesdropping outside.
Xiaoyu watched Miss Huanchun leave, turned around and looked at Empress De Fei eagerly, and asked with some fear: "Is the empress going to tell me something very important? I'm afraid I can't do it well."
Lan Qi smiled gently: "I just want you to pass on a few words, and your master will do it himself. Do you hate Mr. Ping for forcing your family to agree like this?"
Murderous intent ignited in Xiaoyu's eyes, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she said, "I hate you so much. Mr. Ping Gui is so vicious. He burned the promised hand until there was no good part."
"Then you should boldly send the message back." Lan Qi smiled slightly, beckoned Xiao Yu to come over, and whispered for a moment. Xiao Yu was a little confused at first, but she is a smart girl, and she quickly nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Madam,
I will definitely not say anything to anyone other than the one I promised."
Lan Qi nodded and said: "It's not difficult to accomplish this matter, it's just at this juncture." She comforted Xiao Yu, "I will not leave you master and servant alone. You can rest assured in Yikun Palace. This person is Lady Yi Fei.
There is a woman who is easy to deal with, but she is easily seduced and swayed to do bad things. With you watching her, I feel relieved. As for Concubine Hui, after this incident, you don’t need to worry about it. She will naturally do it.
convergence."
But Xiaoyu couldn't get around these few words, but she had a good memory. She returned to Yikun Palace, closed the door, and passed those private words to Zhang Yaoyao in a very low voice. Zhang Yaoyao listened to her heart.
He jumped up and asked excitedly: "Are we really going to impeach Mingzhu?"
Xiao Yu shook her head: "I don't understand. I'm just passing on a message. My Majesty has ordered that no one can talk about it except you. I want you to be careful too."
Although the injuries on her body were still tormenting her, Zhang promised to feel at ease as if she had taken reassurance. It could be seen that Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi were taking advantage of the absence of the Empress Dowager to establish their authority in the palace. Even Ping Guiren was
Concubine Hui surrendered, and others might turn to her in the future. After all, Concubine De was a beloved concubine, and everyone was jealous of her. Looking at the few people who were close to Yonghe Palace, most of them were not favored. Obviously, following Concubine De was nothing.
Those women always have to weigh the benefits in a practical sense.
Seeing her master concentrating on her thoughts, Xiaoyu asked her curiously: "Do you know what to do?"
Zhang agreed and nodded: "Your Majesty wants to give me a break, but if she comes forward to teach Mr. Ping a lesson, it will only make people doubt the relationship between me and your Majesty. The best way is to let Concubine Hui shoot herself in the foot. Xiaoyu, you
Wait, I will teach you a few words tomorrow, just find a place with many people to go to, you know how to do it."
Xiao Yu smiled naively: "I have many little sisters."
However, there were no new rumors circulating in the palace the next day, which made Xiaoyu very nervous about whether she had failed to do a good job. Zhang promised calmly and said: "It's not that you didn't do a good job, it's because those people didn't dare to spread it.
They are all afraid of losing their heads when it comes to important matters in the court. But secretly there will be rumors, just wait and see, someone will come into the Hesheli family in a few days."
What Xiaoyu brought back from Yonghe Palace was to tell Zhang Zheng that the ministers outside were going to impeach Mingzhu and would take action after the emperor returned. However, most of Mingzhu and his party members followed the emperor in Changrui Mountain.
There was no time in the capital to make arrangements, so naturally the news did not reach the ears of Changchun Palace.
Now Concubine Hui has just accepted Ping Guiren. No matter what she thinks about Ping Guiren's relationship with her mother's family, Ping Guiren is a member of the Hesheli family after all, and the biggest enemy of the Pearl Mansion is Suo'etu. Now that they all know this, Ping Gui
The noble man did not dare to rely on Concubine Hui anymore. Concubine Hui suspected that Concubine Ping had other motives for getting close to her. There was no need for others to bother to instigate anything, and it would naturally be a dog-eat-dog situation.
As expected by Concubine De and Zhang Yaosheng, this matter spread quietly in the seemingly peaceful harem. Even Concubine Yi pulled Zhang Yaosheng nervously and talked about it. She didn't know whether she was happy or afraid of being implicated.
Once the Mingzhu Mansion falls outside, Concubine Hui will be in dire straits in the palace.
In the Changchun Palace, Concubine Hui was restless day and night because of this matter. Even after the death of the Empress Dowager, she fully believed that the emperor would no longer have any intention of targeting Mingzhu. She fully believed that her eldest brother would have a chance after the emperor was disappointed with the prince.
, who knew it would be a bolt from the blue, when she was at her most triumphant, these words suddenly came out.
That day, Yanzhu came back from inquiring about the news and said angrily: "The Suo'etu family has entered the palace and stayed in Pinggui's house for a long time. Madam, please tell me, Pinggui showed his kindness to you so patiently a while ago.
Could it be that he has some plans for us?"
Concubine Hui is already in chaos, and Mingzhu is his biggest support. If Mingzhu is harmed because of her negligence, it will be like digging her own grave. At this moment, Yanzhu said this, regardless of the fact, a burst of inner fire emerged, and he will
The people on the throne clapped their hands loudly, and said with hatred: "She is really not a good thing. Even if I can't do it, I won't tolerate her being domineering in the palace!"
