Speaking of the Wang family, since the Yuan family entered the palace, Lan Qi has never set foot in their courtyard due to her superior status. When she came back for the first time, it was a cold and windy late night. When the warm sedan stopped in front of the courtyard, Wang Chang was dressing up in the house.
The daily clothes inside were waiting at the door, not even a big cloak was gathered up. The beauty was shivering from the cold under the lantern.
"Is it okay if Yuan agrees?" Lan Qi asked.
"Returning to the empress, my sister just kept crying and clamoring to see the little princess." Wang Changzai lowered his head and said helplessly, "I tried to persuade you for a long time to no avail. I just made such a fuss that I was looking for life and death. I was frightened."
I'm afraid that something might happen to her, so I want to report it to the empress."
"Come into the house and talk, you're freezing." Lan Qi said calmly, holding her coat and walking into the house. Although this courtyard is small, it has two entrances. Wang Chang lives in the front, and Yuan promised to live in the back.
Then, a group of people walked into the house where Yuan promised to live. She just gave birth yesterday, and many things in the house had not been removed.
On the bed, Yuan Yingying huddled in the arms of the palace maid and cried. The palace maid told her that Concubine De was coming, but she didn't respond at all. Wang Chang stepped forward to pull her, but she threw her hands away and pushed him away, making it very ugly.
Someone brought a chair for Empress De Fei, and Lan Qi sat upright in front of the bed, but she heard Wang Changzai say softly: "For the past half month, my sister has been in poor spirits every day. She is paranoid and worried that she will give birth soon. The imperial doctor has several times a day.
There was a lot of trouble, and I fell asleep after giving birth yesterday. When I woke up, I kept crying, saying that my concubine and the palace maids had snatched her child away, and that her child would not survive."
"The little princess is in my elder brother's home. Aunt Sumala is now in charge of my elder brother's home. The princess will get the best care. What's there to worry about?" Lan Qi looked serious and looked at the girl huddled up on the bed.
Mrs. Yuan, I remember that the two sisters were quiet and submissive people before, but it would be strange for anyone to suddenly become such a quarrel.
"Give me back the child..." Yuan promised to cry in the palace maid's arms. The palace maid told her over and over again that Concubine De was here and let Concubine De make the decision, but she didn't seem to react. Lan Qi looked at it and felt
She is not mentally right.
After she gave birth to her fourth brother, she was depressed for a while. She even refused to put on a corset, and she and Sister Bu had a lot of troubles. During that time, the prince had acne, and the three palaces and six courtyards were banned. She was in the house.
People outside didn't know about the commotion, but they finally got over it later, but even when the commotion was at its worst, Yuan didn't look like he promised to do it.
"Empress?" At this moment, everyone saw Concubine De getting up and approaching Yuan Yasuo, and they couldn't help but want to stop her, but Lan Qi had already walked in front of her. Yuan looked at her in horror, breathing heavily in her throat, obviously very scared.
.
"Sister Yuan, do you still recognize me?" Lan Qi suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Yuan Yasheng screamed and broke away from Lan Qi's hand, crying in the arms of the palace maid. He vaguely heard that "Ping Guiren is coming to kill me, she is coming to kill my child..."
"
Lan Qi frowned when he heard the sound, and everyone around him opened his mouth in disbelief. No one in the room made any more noise, only Yuan promised to cry: "She is coming to kill me. Ping Guiren is here, kill me."
She drove away..."
"Does she usually say that?" Lan Qi glared at Wang Changzai, who was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "I only mention it occasionally. This is the first time I have heard of this."
"What exactly happened?" Lan Qi asked again, but Wang was so frightened by Concubine De that she burst into tears and could not speak. Huan Chun signaled the idlers to wait, helped Wang Changzai up from the side, and said gently, "
Chang, please don’t cry. Your Majesty is worried about your promise to Yuan, otherwise she wouldn’t have come here in the middle of the night. If you have anything to say, just say it to Your Majesty.”
The weak woman finally calmed down and said: "A few days ago, Mr. Pinggui sent something, which frightened Sister Yuan. After that day, she became a little crazy. I didn't dare to publicize it, thinking that she would be fine in a few days.
, who knew it would turn out like this.”
"What did you bring?" Lan Qi tried to hold back her temper.
"They are some things for children, but there is a white doll mixed in." Wang Changzai cried and ran to the cabinet where Yuan promised, took out a cloth bag from the deep place, Huan Chun took it and put it in the cabinet.
Spread out in front of Lan Qi, was a white rag doll with the date of birth written on it. It was covered in needle holes and had been dyed black with the blood of an unknown animal.
Huan Chun was afraid of offending his master, so he held it far away after she had seen it. Wang Changzai cried, "It was mixed in the gift sent by Mr. Ping. When Sister Yuan saw it, she was so frightened that she didn't pick it up.
This birth date belongs to Sister Yuan, and she has always felt that Mr. Ping Gui wanted to kill her and her child."
"It's these tricks again, the palace can't play anything new." Such words seemed familiar, Lan Qi smiled coldly, but when she saw the crying Yuan Yaosheng, other thoughts came to her mind, and she sighed on her face.
He said, "Let the imperial doctor take a look at it for a few more days. If it still doesn't work, let the emperor know and see how to deal with it after that. Mobei is in a tight situation right now, and the emperor is upset. Don't bother him with the harem affairs anymore."
Wang Changzai responded, and Lan Qi gave her a few more words. Before leaving, she told Huanchun to take the doll away without saying anything else. Wang Changzai sent Concubine De out of the house, and the people from Yonghe Palace walked away.
, she immediately ran back to the backyard. In the house, Yuan promised to wipe her face. When he saw her coming back, he asked hurriedly: "Will the empress believe it? Sister, I was scared to death just now. Empress De Fei looked at it without saying anything. Then
His eyes seemed to want to see right through me."
Wang Chang said at the door, covering his heart: "I saw you crying like a baby. When you threw away your Majesty, I thought you were really crazy. Your Majesty, she was so nervous, she must have believed you."
Yuan promised to be very tired. It was too hard to pretend to be crazy and stupid. He gasped and said: "As long as someone takes care of her, our life will be easier. It's not that we want to frame her, it's that she bullies us openly and covertly. We are in the palace."
I am helpless, what else can I do?”
"You should rest first. You have to work hard in the past few days to pretend. No one in our yard is reliable. Who knows if something will spread." Wang Changzai was also exhausted and sat down beside him and said, "
I hope the empress can help us this time and deal with that Pinggui man, so that it will be easier for others to deal with. We are in a low status and have no support. Long Live the Lord just doesn't think about us these days, so they all come to bully us one by one.
If there are new people in the harem, are we going to be slaughtered by others?"
Yuan promised worriedly: "Is Concubine De reliable?"
Mrs. Wang shook her head: "Anyway, there is no one better than her. My family always says that it is best to win over Yonghe Palace if anything happens."
No one thought that Yuan agreed to be crazy and was just putting on a show for people to watch. Empress De was here in the middle of the night. Someone will have to find out why tomorrow. Wang Changzai and Yuan agreed to fear that the statue of Concubine De would come back to them.
Even going to Yonghe Palace for help would lead to nothing, so he deliberately made the situation so ugly.
At Yonghe Palace, the night was getting darker when Lan Qi came back. Sure enough, someone from Jingyang Palace had already sent someone to ask what was going on. Huan Chun answered for his master that Yuan, who was just visiting before giving birth, agreed that there was nothing special. When they entered
At the door, everyone was waiting to wash up. It was almost midnight, and Lan Qi lay down tiredly, so she urged Huan Chun to take a rest.
Huan Chun said: "I have put that doll away, what are you keeping this dirty thing for? Do you want to take it to confront the noble peace?"
"Let's wait for a few days before we confront you." Lan Qi shook her head and thought about it, "Ping Gui may not hurt them with real swords and guns. I've been there tonight. If she really has any crooked ideas,
Don't worry about these two days, aren't you afraid that I will keep an eye on her?"
"That's the truth. Speaking of which, Mr. Pinggui has been quite peaceful these days. He hasn't been as prone to causing trouble as before." Huan Chun also felt strange.
Lan Qi said: "Ping Guiren has been in peace recently. I have to say it's strange, but Yuan promised me. If he is really crazy, he asks the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor dare not hide it. In those days, I only knew that Yuan promised to give birth at any time.
The imperial doctor's reply did not mention her spirit."
Huan Chun smiled and said, "Does the master actually suspect that Wang Changzai and Yuan promised to lie to you?"
Lan Qi sighed and said: "Ping Gui has been in the palace for some time at least, and he won't be so stupid in doing things. How could he put the doll in the gift he sent when he was about to harm them? This matter is either because the two sisters are stupid.
, thinking that I can be trusted, they deliberately caused these things. Otherwise, Mr. Pinggui is too stupid and vicious. Worse, there may be a third or fourth person. If I go to investigate in a big way, I don’t know when I will find the bottom. At most, I will cause trouble.
One scene will make everyone look ugly, so why bother?"
Huan Chun didn't expect his master to think so deeply and complicatedly, and asked: "You mean, we just don't care?"
"Let's wait for a few days and see what Wang Chang does with them." Lan Qi nodded, already having an idea in her mind, "If Ping Guiren really wants to deal with them, she will at least restrain herself in the past few days. How many people can there be in the palace?"
The sky is peaceful. But if on the contrary, Wang Changzai and the others want to attack Ping Guiren, then I will ignore it and they should be anxious. No matter where they are at fault, I can't let them take advantage of it. Do you want Sister Rong to take advantage of her for so many years?
I'm in charge of the affairs of the palace, but I can still do whatever I want without offending anyone. Isn't it just that every time something important comes up, just stand calmly on the dry bank?"
Huan Chun smiled and said, "Master, you have learned all the skills from Concubine Rong."
Lan Qi turned over, already feeling sleepy, and said nonchalantly: "The best is better than the blue."
After a peaceful night together, the next day what Yuan promised was announced in the palace, true and false. Concubine Rong heard about it and naturally came to ask for clarification. But before Lan Qi could explain to her, an imperial edict came from the front and was delivered to her.
Two people.
In addition to the Empress Dowager's death anniversary at the end of the month and New Year's Eve, as well as trivial matters related to New Year's Day, the emperor gave the two of them another decree, saying that they would set off to live in Changchun Garden on the third day of the first lunar month, and asked them to draw up a list of people who would accompany the Queen Mother and go there together.
, and this time all the elder brothers followed, and the emperor had already chosen a place in Changchun Garden for them to study.
