Concubine Xi bit her lip tightly and turned her face away, not daring to look into Concubine De's eyes. However, her body softened little by little, and she heard Concubine De say: "When the emperor comes back to ask you why, I won't have such good patience."
His body twitched, and he finally slid down the chair and fell to the ground in a helter-skelter manner.
"Your Majesty, I have lost my mind. Your Majesty..." Xi Concubine cried on the ground, unable to speak clearly. Lan Qi was impatient when she heard this, but this matter could not be rushed.
If you know the truth, you can only try to be patient and wait for her to stop crying.
Concubine Xi thought she was crying pitifully and that Concubine De would say a few words of comfort, but they just sat aside and watched her cry coldly. She didn't have many tears to begin with and couldn't hold it in any longer, so she could only sob twice.
Said: "My concubine didn't give Wang Changzai anything to eat. She just replaced the medicine that helps the discharge of lochia with ordinary tonic medicine."
"That's it?" Lan Qi angrily scolded Xi Bin, "Since you know how to do such a thing, you must know what the consequences will be. You are so stupid and vicious, and now you still downplay it and think nothing will happen? If she does,
If the matter is over, will the Emperor investigate everything in Qixiang Palace? Do you think you can escape? Now you just listen to a few words from the imperial doctor and you expose yourself in front of me. How can you withstand the Emperor's questions?"
Concubine Xi was so frightened that she turned pale and said incoherently: "I just want to make her not as good as before. I will wear out her body and no longer be able to dominate. I will take good care of my fifteenth brother."
"Since the Emperor has agreed that both the prince and the princess will stay in Qixiang Palace for you to raise, why are you still fighting? The fifteenth brother is already a child in your name." Lan Qi sighed, "What else are you dissatisfied with?
, Do you have to put her to death?"
Concubine Xi lamented: "Don't you know what kind of person Wang is? She is the mistress of Qixiang Palace. The fifteenth brother said that he was raised by my concubine. When she is well, she will not be able to tolerate my concubine."
Take care of the child, if anything happens to the child, she can kill my concubine."
Lan Qi frowned and said, "So you want to take the fifteenth brother as your own?"
Xi concubine was so filled with hatred that she covered her face and cried: "It would be better if she died, it would be better if she died."
"If you were kind to her in the past, why would you have these worries today? I don't think she would dare to be disrespectful or do evil to you. It's just your own inner demons that are causing trouble." Lan Qi let out a long sigh, "But if she dies because of this, you
Do you think you can really keep your fifteenth brother?"
Concubine Xi was so exhausted that she fell to the ground and begged: "If Wang Changzai's health can recover, can the empress forgive me for the sake of my concubine's twenty years in the palace?"
In terms of age, Xi Concubine is still a few years older than Lan Qi. Although there is only one step difference between concubine and concubine, there is a huge difference in dignity and inferiority. What's more, Lan Qi is now the co-manager of the Sixth Palace and is almost the first of the four concubines.
It is not uncommon for concubines to lower their eyebrows and look down upon her. Lan Qi is not a mean person. Wang Changzai is still recovering. Xi concubine was also afraid and promptly hired an imperial doctor for her. If Wang Changzai can recover, she will be fine.
It is true that you can just brush it off and pretend that nothing happened, but there are two kinds of things like this. If you keep the concubine, there is no guarantee that trouble will not happen again in the future.
Seeing that Concubine De did not respond, Concubine Xi took a few steps forward and begged: "Empress, I don't dare to do this anymore."
Lan Qi suddenly said: "Maybe you never dared, but you just became someone else's executioner out of nowhere."
"Empress?" Xi Bin seemed to have been told the right thing. She was afraid that something would leak out of her mouth again, so she covered her mouth in fear.
"Really?" When Lan Qi saw her like this, she knew that her guess was not wrong. Someone must be instigating and instigating her behind her back to make Xi concubine do such a thing. How could she think of such a clever method with her mind?
More importantly, she has no experience in giving birth and will not understand such details. But Lan Qi does not want to find out the black hand behind her. For herself, there is such an invisible force to restrain Wang Changzai from the side.
This is a good thing that saves her trouble and worry. She never has to worry about Wang's excessive arrogance. Once Wang loses control, she doesn't have to take action herself. There are plenty of hands in the palace who want to strangle her.
As for the people in the palace who felt that Wang Changzai was walking sideways, it was probably because of their jealousy and cowardice that they exaggerated their view of the Wang family. In Lan Qi's eyes, Wang Changzai was a smart man who experienced ups and downs year after year.
Through her exploration, she has found her own place in the palace. Although she doesn't like her, she doesn't hate her either.
"This is the end of this matter. I won't tell the emperor, but you have to be careful. If you can't be someone else's executioner, others should be killed and silenced." Lan Qi stood up, leaned over slightly and said these words to the concubine Xi coldly.
, Xi Concubine’s eyes widened in fright.
Lan Qi added: "The emperor placed her in Qixiang Palace because he trusts you. As long as she is good, you will be better. The jealousy and cold eyes from outside are all directed at her. Why don't you just sit back and enjoy the results in peace? Xi concubine,
It has been so many years, and you still can’t see through the doorways of this palace. It’s just a matter of seeking your own death. If you end up being an executioner for others and end up taking your own life, why bother?”
Concubine Xi's eyes were straight and she lowered her head little by little, as if her whole heart had been cut open and exposed for Concubine De to see clearly. She had nothing to say.
"Take good care of her. The Emperor will definitely come to Qixiang Palace to visit her after he returns. You will be there when the time comes. It is all your credit for the safety of mother and child." Lan Qi smiled slightly, "The Queen Mother has already said that she will be rewarded for your hard work.
It’s been a year.”
Concubine Xi sobbed softly, but when she was about to speak again, Concubine De had already passed by. There was a movement outside, and she staggered up to look. She saw that Concubine De had left Kaixiang Palace directly and did not visit Wang Changzai.
, she then remembered that Wang Changzai was unconscious from the fever, so what if she looked at it. Her body softened while stroking the door frame, and her maids came to help her hurriedly. When she sat down, someone asked: "The queen ordered me to prepare the sedan chair."
, should we go to Changchun Palace now?"
"I won't go, I won't go." Xi Bin panicked. The words Changchun Palace were like the underworld. She trembled and said to herself, "They are too vicious."
Let's say that the warm sedan chair of Yonghe Palace returned from Qixiang Palace and passed by the gate of Changchun Palace. At that time, Lan Qi happened to lift the curtain inadvertently for some air. She happened to see Concubine Hui's palace coming into view. Thinking of the fear that Xi Concubine had just felt, her eyes were filled with emotion.
I feel a bit contemptuous. Is a Han concubine who is destined to achieve nothing worthy of someone's labor and effort?
Although Lan Qi had no evidence that Concubine Hui instigated the concubines to kill Wang Changzai, she had taken care of everything in Qixiang Palace this year. Knowing that Yuan promised to be a good sister, she went to get close to Wang Changzai.
In the past two years, the Yuan family and the Wang family have been equally favored, but when it comes to the emperor's favor, Yuan Zheng is not necessarily jealous of Wang Changzai, but Lan Qi looked through the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and found that although they often stayed in Qianqing Palace, they could not sleep in the palace
The first things can be counted.
In the same situation, Wang Chang Zai was pregnant but Yuan Yao promised that there was no good news. Due to their secretly incompatible relationship, Yuan Yao could instigate Wang Chang Zai's infertility in the past, but today he can also instigate his concubines to harm others.
And Yuan agreed to live with Concubine Hui for so long, and watched Concubine Hui teach her through words and deeds. How could he not learn a few tricks to harm others?
She often felt that Xuan Ye seemed to care little about the affairs of the harem, but everything at the moment came from his hands. He could change the situation in the harem by flipping a few green cards. It seemed that he was the one between women.
The battles and struggles, in fact, the fate of everyone is in the hands of the emperor.
Whenever she thinks of this, Lan Qi's impetuous heart will feel at ease. This is also the reason why she has gradually stopped being jealous in the past two years. Although she once doubted whether her feelings for Xuan Ye have faded, she unconsciously checks it out at every turn.
Only she understood the hint of reluctance in the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even Xuan Ye had lectured her: "In your eyes, I am so ignorant of maintenance?"
When Wang Chang was found to be pregnant, Lan Qi worked with the imperial physician to check the date and calculate the pregnancy period in front of the emperor. After the imperial physician and palace attendants dispersed, Xuan Ye said to her worriedly: "If I were with you that night.
, could it be you? What if you have it again? "
The emperor's words were not hypocritical. Although Wang Changzai and Yuan promised to be favored, it was in comparison that the other concubines were not forgotten by the emperor. Yonghe Palace would come from time to time, and every time Xuanye came, as long as she was not healthy
If you are not comfortable, you will inevitably have a night of fun. Only because they are at a passionate age, Lan Qi will worry about whether the emperor is having fun with others every night, so she will check those things every now and then. But in comparison,
On the contrary, she, who is over thirty years old, often appreciates her kindness. She once casually asked why when she was having a good time, and Xuan Ye said it didn't make sense, and he would naturally miss her.
These are private secrets that cannot be told to the ascetic Sister Bu. Lan Qi only whispers to her sister when she enters the palace. Lan Ying is now a charming and beautiful woman, and is taking care of her body in order to have another child.
A girl, hearing her sister talk about these things, smiled with a smile on her face and said to Lan Qi: "In my opinion, at this age, they have seen through the good and bad in the world. New and exciting things are just a spice, but they are still gentle around them."
It's the most considerate and pleasant. Not to mention that men are greedy when they see beautiful people. I watched the show with my sisters-in-law and sisters at home. They all looked at the handsome actors on the stage, their eyes were straight, and they laughed.
The flower branches trembled wildly, and then they turned around and complained to each other about the big belly in the family, which made me blush."
Thinking about these things all the way, Lan Qi unknowingly arrived at Yonghe Palace. Lan Qi walked in slowly. Seeing Huan Chun waiting with Yu Xi, she blamed her for coming back early. Huan Chun smiled and explained a few words,
They sat and talked insignificant words, and waited until the people accompanying them to visit the mausoleum returned the news about the emperor and his elder brothers. They knew that Xuan Ye and Yinzhen were both well, and both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt at ease.
Regarding matters in Qixiang Palace, it was only after Yuxi took Wen Chen to play in Jingyang Palace that Lan Qi had a few words with Huan Chun in private. Huan Chun smiled and said, "When I came in, I heard Zi Yu nagging about you.
Go and care about Wang Changzai again."
Lan Qi rolled up her sleeves and opened the desk to prepare the gift list for New Year's Eve, and said casually: "Yin Zhen is now walking among the ministers. Although he doesn't have many errands and is just learning his skills, his mother has a reputation as a virtuous person in the harem.
, he is more confident, isn’t he? Do you think I want to take care of them? "
