Lan Qi didn't understand the meaning of these words, but she knew one thing. According to the words of the imperial doctor and Eunuch Liang, Xuan Ye's disease was cold-damp dysentery. However, the most sensational thing that spread to the palace at that time was actually
Malaria. She and Concubine Rong suppressed the rumors in the palace, but they still spread like wildfire, so the Empress Dowager would hint to her, so Concubine Hui said what she said. Most people felt that the war could not be won, and at the same time they were worried that the emperor was seriously ill.
Sorry.
"I did not summon the prince. The eunuch who was the first to be sent out by hand was found dead outside the camp when Manager Liang went to investigate. Now we are investigating what faction he and his family have contact with. I must find out.
." Xuan Ye spoke solemnly, as if mentioning these unpleasant things, his face, which was full of energy and blood, darkened again. Every word carried great weight. He squeezed Lan Qi's hand and said, "If I die of illness,
If the prince is killed again, what do you think the world will be like?"
In such a situation, Lan Qi felt almost suffocated just thinking about it, but in fact, the Queen Mother and her had reached a tacit understanding before this. The Queen Mother had already prepared how to face the changes in the situation in the future, and told her
We must fight our last breath together and preserve the inheritance of Xuan Ye's bloodline.
But at this moment, Xuan Ye said something completely different. He didn't seem to have any doubt that Prince Yu and Prince Gong would have different intentions. Instead, he said: "If anything happens to me, the prince is in the capital, and he can immediately follow the Queen Mother's instructions."
Ascend the throne, and the eldest brother is following me outside, and will definitely not be able to enter the capital in time. You said, what else can you do if the prince is tied to the front line with me? I'm afraid that if I have some shortcomings, the prince will not be able to survive.
If you retreat, I can’t imagine what will happen when the time comes.”
Lan Qi lowered her eyes, thinking that Xuan Ye was suspecting that the forces behind the eldest brother were controlling this incident? She did not dare and could not say what the Queen Mother had conspired with her. It would be disrespectful and would even cause
People misunderstood that she was ambitious, and the two were silent for a while before Xuan Ye asked: "If that were really the case, what would you do? Lan Qi, if I abandoned you like that, what would you do?"
Lan Qi couldn't bear such words and was about to cry, but she stopped after a few tears. She looked up at him and replied solemnly: "I will support your son to ascend the throne. After that, it will be up to you."
go."
Xuan Ye frowned, raised his hand and put it on her shoulder. The force of his palm almost crushed her shoulder, and scolded: "What a silly thing. If something unexpected happens to me, you must continue to live well."
Lan Qi burst into tears and smiled calmly, and said calmly: "If you can't survive, we agreed to be together for the rest of our lives. Without anyone, we can't live together forever. I understand that I have responsibilities on my shoulders, and I will take care of everything."
Everything is arranged, and then I go to fulfill my life. In this life, I have paid for too many people. It seems that I don’t care about anything in return, but in fact, I am fulfilling my own beauty. My selfishness is hidden under selflessness.
, when it reaches the end, selfishness can no longer be hidden. Others don’t understand, but I understand it myself, and I thought that the emperor also understood it.”
Xuan Ye's eyes were reddish, he held her cheek and said: "When I was seriously ill, I thought, what should I do if I leave you? I finally endured it until Fuquan won a great victory, and finally endured it until Galdan ran away like a bereaved dog, holding on with strength
I came back because I wanted to fall next to you even if I fell. Outside, I was afraid that I would be too lonely."
Lan Qi smiled: "The whole world belongs to the emperor, why are you lonely?"
Xuan Ye said tenderly: "But if you are not around, I can't find my home."
She looked at the person in front of her crazily. All her life, she had been trapped in his eyes, his words, and everything about him. It was like a destined entanglement in her previous life. She could not escape or get rid of it in this life, and she willingly endured all the ups and downs. .Let's walk like this for the rest of her life. Even if the road ahead is bumpy, she will follow his footsteps and walk step by step.
"The things waiting for me to deal with in the Qianqing Palace are piled up like a mountain. It's really rare to get sick and only have ten days and a half of leisure. I can't be lazy anymore. If I'm lazy again, Galdan will regain his prestige and come again. I am not willing to let him escape this time. In addition to the rewards for merit, I will also investigate the faults of Fu Quan and Chang Ning." The imperial aura in Xuan Ye's words once again condensed, so majestic that Lan Qi was a little afraid. As he approached, Xuan Ye stood up and said, "So I have to go and talk to the Queen Mother about this first, lest anyone from the clan comes to instigate unrest. You have a good rest. I have been to Ningshou Palace and will go back to Qianqing Palace to handle the government affairs." , I won’t be entering the harem these days, so you can take advantage of the time to take good care of yourself. After New Year’s Day, I will take you to live in the garden. I won’t take anyone with me this time, so we can be quiet.”
Lan Qi just smiled: "Your Majesty, please be busy first, and we will talk about the rest later."
The emperor left Yonghe Palace after the two were alone together for nearly half a month. However, because this time the Emperor was recuperating in Yonghe Palace, others did not dare to criticize Concubine De, and nothing treasonous or treasonous had happened before. Anyone who said she had other agendas kept silent.
August 15th was just around the corner, and when people were hastily debating whether to celebrate, they suddenly remembered that Queen Xiaoyi’s anniversary celebration had already passed for a month. But at that time, everyone was focused on the war, and almost no one thought of it. When the Empress Dowager asked about Lan Qi, she smiled calmly: "My concubine and my fourth brother paid homage in Yinghua Palace. We didn't want to disturb the public and did not make any publicity. The Queen's spirit in heaven must protect the Emperor wholeheartedly and she won't care."
Everyone was relieved that they were not passing the Mid-Autumn Festival at all. They just made some snacks to offer to the ancestors to celebrate the occasion. At present, there were many post-war matters waiting to be dealt with in the court, and no one was in the mood to celebrate the festival, but Prince Gong and Prince Yu were still there. Prevent Galdan from attacking again in Mobei. It is said that he will not come back in a month or two.
A few days later, the emperor dealt with some urgent matters that had piled up. The atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace finally eased a little. The ministers no longer came in and out so frequently. The eunuchs and maids breathed a sigh of relief. Manager Liang, who followed him out, also spent two days fishing. After resting, I came to serve the emperor in high spirits that day. I was suddenly asked by the emperor: "What happened to the child in Mr. Ping's belly?"
Under the impact of the smoke and flames of war, Mr. Liang, who saved his life from Ulan Butong, had long forgotten about it. Moreover, Ping Guiren was surprisingly able to stay calm and not cause trouble. Even after being back for half a month, he still couldn't Thinking about it, when the emperor asked this question, his legs suddenly became weak and he fell to the ground and said: "My slave deserves to die, my slave deserves to die..."
Manager Liang told the emperor the doubts he had discovered first, but he did not expect that the Hershey family could interfere with the Imperial Hospital. He indeed watched Mr. Ping drink the medicine every day, but it was really unclear what medicine he took. According to calculations, this fetus was found in the garden. Ping Guiren hid it until the emperor's imperial conquest last month and revealed it. He even blackmailed Tong Bin because he said that being pushed down by Empress Tong Bin disturbed the fetus. In the future, the child If anything goes wrong, it will be Empress Tong's responsibility.
"She is really smart." Xuan Ye sneered, his eyes so sharp that Mr. Liang was so scared that he didn't dare to look directly at her, and said ruthlessly, "I don't want this child."
"Yes." Eunuch Liang responded, but he immediately came back to his senses and asked confusedly: "What does the emperor mean?"
"Let's ask the imperial doctor how risky abortion is now." The emperor's body was filled with a cold and ruthless aura, and his eyes were shining coldly. Eunuch Liang didn't dare to look anymore, and said with a low voice, "Long live my lord, please calm down. What do you think?"
Mr. Ping was fine when you were not at home. What happened when you came back? What should Mr. Suo'etu think?"
There was a loud bang, and Xuan Ye slammed the table angrily, knocking over the teacup on the table. Eunuch Liang was so frightened that he trembled all over and tried to persuade the emperor to calm down, but Xuan Ye calmed down after a moment of rage. He is now
It's not about tolerance, it's not about looking at the faces of several major families, but he must use them to check and balance each other. Only when they have their hands on each other's throats can they no longer free their hands to face the emperor and cause him trouble.
Eunuch Liang saw that the emperor's momentum had subsided a little, and he bravely said: "I heard that the maid in the palace of Lord Ping was caught by Empress Tong and had an affair with the guard first. Empress Dowager De came forward to solve the matter. The maid has been arrested.
When the Department of Precaution and Punishment dealt with it, Mr. Ping did not make any noise and just accepted it. Your Majesty, you see, this is not your temper at all. His behavior is too abnormal."
"Tong concubine?" Xuan Ye frowned, feeling impatient in his heart. He was heartbroken that his uncle was killed in battle, and the Qing army lost a strong general. Even though his uncle was old, as long as he was alive, he could cultivate more capable soldiers.
There are many talents, but now there is a gap, and many successors are missing.
But this was only one aspect of heartache. Another thing also bothered Xuan Ye. His eldest uncle was killed in battle, by Junggar's shotgun. Why was it said that he was framed by Suo'etu and died when it was reported to the capital?
?Such words have reached even his ears.
"I'm going to show off to the palace tonight. I'm going to see Concubine Tong." Xuan Ye calmed down. He knew that his little cousin was not as smart as the queen. Because he was weak, he was more easily manipulated by the family. He couldn't let his little cousin step into the hands of Concubine Wen.
After all, it is enough that there is a lunatic in the palace.
This night, the Holy Emperor came to Chuxiu Palace, and Tong Bin was very surprised. She knew her importance in the emperor's heart, whether it was affection or favor, with a touch of politeness. Now that the emperor has left Yonghe Palace, she is the first
When she came to her house, she was surprised and felt guilty about what happened before. She couldn't help but worry that the emperor was going to blame her.
Sure enough, Xuan Ye mentioned those things, but without any blaming tone, he just said in a persuasive way: "If you stay with me in the palace, stop caring about family affairs. I don't want to say it too harshly, but the reality is indeed not very good."
, you are not suitable to get involved in any right and wrong, I just want you to be a flower in the greenhouse and live a carefree life."
Tong Bin looked timidly at the emperor, lowered her head and muttered: "It's exactly the same. Concubine De has already taught me, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."
"Concubine De?" Xuan Ye asked curiously, "What did she say to you?"
