Concubine Wen's illness is not terrible. It's just that she contracted the cold a few days ago. But Dongyun didn't report it. It's her fault. And she has always been strong. Even if the situation is worse than now, she can protect her master.
Coming over, Lan Qi had to wonder what happened to Dongyun. Now that she heard what she said, her heart suddenly sank.
Dongyun collapsed on the ground. After a moment of impulse, she seemed to be worried about something and didn't want to say anything anymore. Tears kept falling. She covered her mouth and didn't dare to cry. After a long time, Lan Qi was the first to say: "You can say it."
, I won’t let others hurt you.”
"Your Majesty..." Dongyun's eyes were filled with tears. He hesitated for a long time and finally said, "This slave girl just discovered a while ago that the medicine that the Imperial Hospital has been giving her to Master is not to cure her madness, but to make her become crazier as she drinks. It has not stopped since that year.
.The master’s initial state of being emotionally agitated and uncontrollable, then her intensification of madness, and her current stupidity are all due to those medicines she took, and it was those medicines that turned her into what she is now day by day.”
Lan Qi felt extremely chilled. Was she smart, or was it because the reality was so obvious that she didn’t need to think about it? After Dongyun’s words, she guessed that she could do such cruel things in the palace and last for such a long time, while escaping everyone.
Human ears and eyes, who else can have such a person?
Dongyun fell to the ground and cried: "Empress, the Emperor doesn't give the master a way to live, it's the Emperor..."
Those two words penetrated her ears, and Lan Qi felt like she was shaking all over. She held her chest tightly with one hand. It turned out that she actually heard Dongyun say it, but she still couldn't accept it. Even if there was a glimmer of hope for the result of her guess, she still couldn't accept it.
I hope I guessed wrong.
Aunt Sumala once told her that if she took over the affairs of the Sixth Palace, she would see the ugliest things in the Forbidden City. How could she feel that she was constantly realizing the ruthless side of the emperor, which made her immersed in
The emperor's gentle and considerate self can truly see him as a complete person.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to go to the imperial doctor again. I'm afraid that if I go to the imperial doctor again, my master's illness will get worse. I can't do anything. I just want to extend my master's life for a few more years." Dongyun cried, she
His loyalty to Niu Hulu and his family is truly remarkable.
Lan Qi tried to calm herself down and asked, "Have you told anyone about this matter? Where are the Niu Hulu family members?"
Dongyun shook her head and said that she only found out recently and did not dare to tell anyone. After all, if someone else had done it, she could still go to Concubine De and even go to the emperor to protect the concubine. But if the emperor had done it, she could still go to her.
who?
"You should understand that if more people know about it, neither you nor the imperial concubine will survive." Lan Qi stood up, supported Dongyun with her own hands, and warned her sincerely, "What you can do now is to continue to protect the imperial concubine.
, you handle the medicines when they arrive, don’t be discovered by anyone, don’t alert anyone, I will send another imperial doctor to treat the empress’s cold, don’t be afraid.”
Dongyun knew that Concubine De could not do anything practical, and she did not dare to anger the emperor and risk her life. Lan Qi finally told her not to tell Lan Ying about this. She knew that Dongyun was loyal to the Niu Hulu family.
But whether she knew this or not, the result was the same. Her sister admired her brother-in-law extremely, and she didn't want the emperor to leave such a cruel and ruthless impression in Lan Ying's heart.
That night, very late at night, there was a knock on the door of Yanxi Palace. The visitor said that Concubine De had invited Lord Jue Chan to come. Now Aunt Linglan agreed to move here from a remote courtyard to take charge of Yanxi Palace.
She was a very prudent person, so she sent someone to inform the noble Jue Chan that he knew about it. At the same time, she was worried that something was fishy and went to the Yonghe Palace in person. She was sure that Empress Dowager De was summoning the noble Jue Chan in the middle of the night, so she sent the noble man over with peace of mind.
Jue Chan had gone to bed long ago and was woken up in his sleep. It was said that it was Empress Dowager De who was looking for her. She thought that something big had happened, but along the way she saw that the palace was quiet and there was nothing unusual, and she couldn't help but feel strange.
.
After Dongyun left in Yonghe Palace, Lan Qi never fell asleep. She was in a daze for a while. Later, Brother Thirty-Four had a fight. She went to train the two children and coaxed them to sleep, and then she stayed with her son.
She sat there in a daze until midnight. Huanchun didn't know what happened to her master. She only knew that Dongyun looked very embarrassed when he left. She guessed that they said something important and sad, but her master didn't mention it and she didn't dare to ask.
, until it was too late at night, and I wanted to persuade her to sleep, but the master suddenly gave an order, saying that he wanted to see the noble Jue Chan.
When Jue Chan arrived at the main hall, Empress Dowager De was not there yet. She stood for a while before she saw her coming from somewhere else. Huan Chun politely explained: "Empress is in my little brother's room."
"Sit inside." Lan Qi walked all the way to the inner hall and asked Jue Chan to go with her. Huan Chun wanted to call the palace maid to serve tea, but Lan Qi refused. The master asked her to guard the door and not let anyone else get close and overhear.
What words.
The two sat down and Lan Qi smiled and said, "Did you meet anyone on the way? If they knew we met late at night, they would be suspicious."
Jue Chan said nonchalantly: "Every door is locked at this late hour, unless they really put some spies here. If so, then the empress and the concubine have nothing to do, so let them go."
Lan Qi nodded: "I guess we can still find out what secrets this Forbidden City can hide."
Noble Jue Chan asked straight to the point: "It's so late, what orders do you have for me to find my concubine?"
"In the past, you told me that every time Concubine Wen tortured you like crazy or cried in Xianfu Palace, you treated her as a patient. Now that she has really become a patient, do you feel that she was originally very sick?
Normal?" Lan Qi asked calmly, "Do you think this is the best outcome for her?"
Jue Chan said with a smile: "Who doesn't want to live a healthy life? She is as carefree as a child now, but only she knows whether she is happy or not. I am just a bystander, whether it is
Whether you feel sad for her or take pleasure in her misfortune is all your own thoughts. No one knows how the imperial concubine feels, so I dare not say whether it is the best outcome for her, but for me
To me, this is by no means a bad outcome.”
Lan Qi nodded and said: "To me, it's not a bad result. She did so many things in the past that don't deserve to be forgiven, and almost caused Lan Ying to be childless for life. Forgiveness and tolerance are our hearts, but it doesn't mean that she has ever
Mistakes made can be erased."
Jue Chan felt that Lan Qi was strange tonight, so he asked bluntly: "Is the empress worried?"
Lan Qi sighed and slowly said Dongyun's words. The expression on Jue Chan's face only changed slightly. Probably because the emperor in her eyes was very different from what Lan Qi saw, so to her, the emperor was cold and cold.
Ruthless behavior is nothing to be surprised about.
"If all this is true, when she scared the Queen Mother, if the Emperor was worried about the Crown Prince and did not conduct a thorough investigation in a big way, I think part of the reason is that he blamed himself for sowing the evil consequences. After all, if Concubine Wen
If you weren't crazy, those things wouldn't happen." Lan Qi let out a long sigh, "I always thought that I was connected with him, but there are so many things that I don't know about. The world in his heart is too big and too big.
It’s complicated, but I always try to see him clearly.”
Jue Chan said gently: "That's because you have feelings for the emperor. In addition to being a superior monarch, he is also your husband, your man, and the mother of your children. The emotions here make me and my concubine treat the emperor very differently."
Same, it's not your fault."
Lan Qi smiled bitterly: "You don't have to coax me. I calmed down after that moment of chills. It's not because I blame the emperor for being ruthless." As she spoke, there was a hint of hatred in her eyes, and she frowned slightly and said to Lord Jue Chan, "Dongyun
I was too excited just now and I was not calm enough to ask her how she found out that the imperial concubine was drugged, but now I feel it is not appropriate to ask her, but I have doubts in my heart."
Noble Jue Chan thought quietly while listening to Empress De Fei say: "The Niu Hulu family is no longer what it used to be in the court. Even if you let them know about it, it won't make any waves. Moreover, the concubine is already like this. Even if she stops taking medicine or
Trying to treat it won't make any difference, and if someone deliberately exposes this matter now, I can't think of any benefit from doing so."
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense." Noble Master Jue Chan responded, and his heart seemed to gradually become clearer.
Lan Qi said: "The day of the princess's wedding is just around the corner. The day after tomorrow, there will be a banquet in the Baohe Palace to entertain the people of Bahrain and the ministers of civil and military affairs. I really have no time to spare. I would like to ask you to help me check the secrets in Xianfu Palace.
You are more familiar with the people there than I am. I want to know how Dongyun knew about this. The people under the emperor have always done things flawlessly. I always feel that they are not negligent."
"Don't worry, Madam. I will try to find out more about Dongyun. Don't let her think that we doubt her." Noble Jue Chan smiled slightly and said to Lan Qi, "I just heard what Madam said, and I thought...
…”
Halfway through her words, she suddenly had a flash of excitement. Lan Qi asked her what was wrong. Lord Jue Chan said, "I thought at first that you would be disappointed with the Emperor. But when I heard about it, I wanted to advise you not to have any quarrel with the Emperor.
My Majesty, look, is it possible that someone exposed such a thing to instigate a relationship between you and the Emperor?"
Lan Qi looked at her blankly and said in disbelief: "It really makes sense to say this. No matter how this matter is revealed, it will not change the situation of the imperial concubine. She has racked her brains to find out such a thing just to instigate me and the emperor.
relationship?"
Noble Master Jue Chan said confidently: "The empress can worry about the master's wedding, and I will go check it out. Even if nothing can be changed, it would be nice if I could see who was behind it."
Lan Qi felt suddenly enlightened, and the depression in her heart was relieved a lot. From whether Ping Guiren was born with evil or dragon seeds, to the incident before her, her soft-hearted kindness has shaken her relationship with Xuan Ye again and again. Fortunately,
No matter how kind-hearted the Bodhisattva is, she can't compare to her care for Xuan Ye. The impact again and again made her strengthen her beliefs and stance.
"Your Majesty." At this moment, Noble Master Jue Chan spoke again. There was some hesitation in his eyes, and his overall temperament changed slightly from before. He smiled unnaturally and said, "I have something that I would like to ask your help for."
