Duan Gui raised his head and said, "I am pregnant. Please ask your concubine to stand up and wait."
Concubine Tong's eyes were sharp, she sneered, and coldly ordered the people around her: "Put it down." Then she saw the shoulder carriage slowly falling to the ground. Concubine Tong walked over holding Jingzhu's hand, looking down at Lan Qi and Duan Guiren who were kneeling on the ground.
, "Wuchang Zai, what did Mr. Duangui just say?"
Lan Qi was startled, then she lowered her head and said truthfully: "Mr. Duangui is pregnant. Please ask your empress to let Mr. Duangui stand up and wait." As soon as she finished speaking, she was suddenly kicked hard on the shoulder, and she fell backwards.
The little palace maid holding the nobleman next to her screamed, which made Concubine Tong even more angry. She sternly called the eunuch next to her to come over and slap her. Lan Qi crawled on the ground and saw the palace maid being held down and firing her bow left and right. The sound of crackling flesh made her heart tremble.
"You are laughing at me for losing your child, aren't you? You are so valuable when you are pregnant, and you don't need to worry about etiquette and rules. One or two of these humble maids who were born as palace maids dare to stand up in front of me. Okay.
, you like to stand up." Concubine Tong's eyes were bloodthirsty, she stood up straight and pointed at the maid next to her, "Take off the shoes and socks of Duan Gui and Wu Chang Zai, let them soak up the ground and stand properly.
"
Mr. Duan Gui was eager to protect his son and said resolutely: "It's cold on the ground. I must not take off my shoes and socks. If anything happens to the fetus in my belly, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."
"How dare you say..." Concubine Tong was so angry that she was about to explode when she was stopped by Jingzhu and whispered softly, "Mother, if the imperial heir really does anything bad, you really can't afford it."
"But Wu Yashi isn't pregnant, right?" Concubine Tong's eyes were as sharp as a knife, she sneered and pointed at Lan Qi on the ground, scolding the maid next to her. She helped them both up, leaving Duan Gui to stand on the same spot, while Lan Qi
She was forced to take off her shoes and stockings and stand barefoot on the ground. Today, she was accompanied only by Xiangyue, who was timid and careless. She was so scared that she could only kneel down and cry.
The shame of bare feet cannot be compared to the biting cold of the ground. Fortunately, the hem of the clothes covered the feet, so they were not completely exposed. Lan Qi bit her red lips and clenched her fists in her sleeves to suppress the trembling of her body.
She had never been so humiliated as a palace maid since she entered the palace. How could she not feel resentful in her heart? There was no reason for it. Just as Concubine Tong had punished her to kneel in the courtyard that day, she felt even more pity for the woman in front of her and pitied her twisted and dirty heart.
, ridiculing her self-destructive behavior.
And Concubine Tong has never been used to Wu Yashi. A few days ago, she heard that the emperor went to stay for half an hour in the middle of the night. Who knows what he could do in half an hour. In her eyes, Wu Yashi was despicable, always standing at the gate of the palace, waiting.
The emperor passing by is no different from the prostitute in the brothel who leans against the door and smiles.
"Stand still, I will go and ask the Queen Mother if this is the case." Concubine Tong looked at Lan Qi shivering from the cold and felt proud. She held Jingzhu's hand and sat back on her shoulder.
The group of people walked away, but they didn't know if they were going to Cining Palace.
But if you think about it, you will know that if she abused the concubines so much, how could she go to Cining Palace to show off? She must have taken a detour to somewhere else, but no one knows when she will be released.
"I have troubled you today." Mr. Duan Gui still had some energy. Although his face had turned pale, he still stretched out his hand to support Lan Qi, "She will definitely not come back. We can't stand here to death. Please put off your shoes quickly."
Wear your socks and don't get sick from the cold."
Xiangyue cried and went to pick up her master's thrown away shoes and socks. She shook her head and tried to put them on Lan Qi, but Lan Qi dodged and said, "Go back and get clean ones. Those who have touched them, take them." Go and burn them all." He turned around and helped Duan Guigui sit back in the sedan. His eyes were red but he refused to shed tears. "You go back and take care of yourself. Doctor Xuan will take a look at it. Nothing is more important than the fetus. I’ll wait here, I’ll leave soon.”
Duan Guiren's maid was beaten until her cheeks were red and swollen and her mouth was bleeding. Fortunately, she did not hurt several young eunuchs carrying the sedan. Lan Qi ordered them to carry the sedan safely and send the master back quickly. It's important. Xiangyue is still crying here. Lan Qi Qi pulled her up, "If you don't go back quickly, I'm going to freeze."
Xiangyue cried and took off her jacket and spread it on the ground for Lan Qi to step on. She immediately ran back to Zhongcui Palace to get clean shoes and socks. For a while, everyone dispersed, leaving her standing here alone. The early spring was not yet warm. The wind blew against my face, sending chills into my heart.
However, this place is not far from Cining Palace, and we have to walk a little further to Qianqing Palace. I don’t know whether Concubine Tong is obsessed with phlegm or maliciously provocative. Although Wu Ya is humble, the Empress Dowager likes it, and the Emperor likes it even more. No one would be able to understand the humiliation and torture between Gongma and the person they both like.
When Aunt Sumala heard about this, she ran over first because she could not disturb her master who was chanting sutras. Huanchun Yukui and Xiangyue were already there, helping Lan Qi put on her shoes and socks.
"Mom..." Xiangyue cried loudly, hugging Aunt Sumala's legs and crying about what happened just now. Yu Kui and Huan Chun held Lan Qi, who was soft from the cold, but Xiao Chang Zai just tried his best to smile. He said, "I'm fine. Can you send someone to check on Mr. Duan?"
Aunt Sumala's face was solemn. She knew the virtues of Concubine Tong very well. Although she was a slave, she was also the emperor's teacher. She taught Master Shunzhi and the current emperor how to speak Manchu. No one in the palace or outside the palace disrespected her. Both Queen Hesheli and Concubine Zhao were very respectful to her, but little Concubine Tong was different. She was arrogant and rude since entering the palace. In her eyes, Sister Sumala was just a slave.
"Go back and take good care of your master." Mammy's heart sank, and she ordered the maids under her command, "Go and fetch Wu Changzai in a sedan chair to take Wu Changzai back. It would be too embarrassing for Chang Zai to be carried back like this, and he has lost his respect."
Everyone agreed and dispersed to get busy, and some people went to greet Mr. Duan. Grandma came up and held Lan Qi's hand. Her delicate fingers were so cold that it chilled her heart, but she said with a serious heart: "The days are long, you must remember the shame of today. The purpose is not revenge or hatred, but one day when you are in a high position, don't lose your heart, and don't let the evil look you see today on Concubine Tong appear on you in the future."
The corners of Lan Qi's eyes were gleaming. This was where she felt sympathy for Concubine Tong. Already weak from the cold, she nodded vigorously: "I will remember what you said."
When the news that Wu Changzai was punished by Concubine Tong to stand barefoot on the ground reached the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Zhao had just finished talking to the emperor about the Spring Festival expenses in the palace and was about to leave. She did not intend to provoke Concubine Tong and came here first. They had agreed on a time with the emperor to talk about important matters, and a lot of money had been recovered due to the purges in various areas of the rebellion. The treasury was much richer than in previous years. The two emperors and concubines were in a good mood, but suddenly something like this happened. Xuan Ye With deep eyebrows furrowed, Concubine Zhao stood on one side and said softly for a long time: "Concubine, can you go and see Wu Changzai?"
Xuan Ye looked at her coldly, and Concubine Zhao's eyes suddenly seemed timid, but she still calmed down and continued: "I don't dare to be as foolish as before. Wu Changzai is a decent person and has a smart mind. I am busy with palace affairs.
Relying on her to serve the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, if I are still as ignorant and careless as before, then... my illness will be in vain. I hope Your Majesty will not misunderstand."
Xuan Ye's expression was gloomy. He couldn't imagine how cold Lan Qi's heart must be after standing barefoot in the cold wind for half an hour. When she needed pity the most, the person who should pity her the most didn't know.
, heartache and anger overlapped repeatedly, and I was speechless for a while.
He thought about Concubine Zhao's absurdity in the past, but she was tormenting herself and did not really hurt Lan Qi. On the contrary, Concubine Tong tortured others more viciously every time. He just wanted someone to suppress the one in front of him, but he didn't expect that Concubine Tong tortured others more viciously.
But she raised her cousin to be so twisted and vicious, which harmed Lan Qi, and actually ruined her cousin's ability to live a good life.
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Zhao called softly.
Xuan Ye finally calmed down and said calmly: "There is no need to go. You will never have an argument with Concubine Tong again. I understand your intentions and will not misunderstand you. I will kneel down."
Concubine Zhao's heart tightened slightly, unable to guess what the emperor meant, so she stepped back and Eunuch Li walked her to the palace gate. Concubine Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Is this palace annoying the emperor?"
Manager Li smiled bitterly: "There are many people who will annoy the Emperor. If your Majesty listens to what I say to you, please don't worry about these things. If you do, you will make a mess, and no one will say anything good about you."
Concubine Zhao suddenly understood, thanked her with a smile, and went back to her Yikun Palace. Isn't that right? Concubine Tong wanted to die, so she could just watch from the sidelines. There was no need to show off her virtues at this juncture, with her jumping up and down like this.
Yes, if you don’t do anything, you are virtuous enough.
In Zhongcui Palace, when Lan Qi was brought back, she was already feeling hot all over. The imperial doctor immediately sent someone to take a look after hearing what Grandma Sumala said. When she heard that she had been standing on the ground barefoot for half an hour, the imperial doctor sighed and said: "
This cold air invades, who knows where in the body it will penetrate, and then the lungs will be hot, coughing and wheezing, and even the uterus will be cold, and it needs to be nursed back to health."
On the hospital bed, Lan Qi was dizzy from the fever. Huan Chun covered her forehead with a wet handkerchief. It became hot within a moment. After boiling the medicine, she opened her mouth and drank it. After a while, she spat it out with convulsions, and then boiled the medicine again.
I poured it again and again and again until late at night. Finally, I was sweating profusely and my clothes and bedding were all sticky.
Bu Chang was moving all the charcoal stoves in her place. When the room was warm enough that it was still too hot to wear single clothes, he wiped her body with white wine and put a clean bedding on the kang for a place to sleep. No one slept a wink all night.
, until dawn the next day, Lan Qi's originally burning red cheeks receded and her breathing gradually stabilized. The imperial doctor came to see her again and was surprised that Wu Changzai's pulse had stabilized much more.
However, even a strong man may not be able to bear such a burning, let alone a delicate woman. When Lan Qi regained consciousness, it was already dusk in the afternoon, and she woke up heavily on the couch, only to see Huan Chun lying next to her and also asleep.
When I regained consciousness, I felt pain like my head was splitting. Blood was coming out of my throat. I wanted to speak but couldn't open my mouth due to dryness. I could feel blisters at the corners of my mouth. It hurt so much if I moved even a little.
, then I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and tears fell down.
Huan Chun was alert, opened his eyes and saw that his master was awake, and hurriedly called for people to come in, because she was in need of people here, Bu Chang was asking Pan Xia and others to come to work in shifts. At this moment, Pan Xia and Daosui came in to help serve. After busy for a long time, they finally cleared up.
She leaned back on the big pillow refreshed, frowned and drank the decoction one by one. Although she was described as extremely weak and embarrassed, she recovered quickly, which was much better than the doctor expected.
When she took the medicine and saw her frowning, Panxia broke off a small piece of rock candy and let her hold it in her mouth. There was a sweet feeling in her mouth. Lan Qi's face became much more relaxed. Panxia coaxed her to smile: "This candy can still be eaten.
But you can’t eat meat, the imperial doctor said, these days you can only treat it with vegetable and white porridge."
Lan Qi Jiaojiao smiled softly and stretched out her hand to push Pan Xia weakly. At this time, Bu Chang came to see Pan Xia after hearing that she was awake. However, she was weak-tempered and shed tears as soon as they met. Lan Qi was fine, but on the contrary
She was crying so sadly that it took her a long time to say: "No one from the Empress Dowager or the Emperor asked, is it just an act to love you so much on weekdays?"
Huan Chun came to persuade him, but he was also afraid that Lan Qi would feel uncomfortable. After Bu Chang left, he said to his master: "Do you still remember what Aunt Sumala said? I think that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will always have their faults."
That's right, master, don't let it go unexplained and cause more troubles."
Lan Qi smiled and nodded. Since she had no strength to speak, she was hugged and lay down. She squeezed Huan Chun's hand, as if to thank her for taking care of her, and soon fell asleep peacefully.
She has no intention to care about these things now. Her body is still tortured by illness, and the cold chill will always remain under her feet. She must take care of her body. As Sister Sumala said, if she is in a high position one day
, I will never become the second Concubine Tong, but if that day comes, if I have no life to wait, everything will be in vain.
Two or three days later, Wu Changzai gradually recovered from his illness. The whole hospital was worried. First, Grandma Sumala sent someone to check on her, and then Manager Li went there in person. Although the Empress Dowager and the Emperor did not seem to be happy about it.
I didn't ask, but no one dared to neglect my attitude. Moreover, when I first saw him, he was seriously ill, so we all thought it was something bad. But he didn't expect that his small body was so strong and strong. After two or three days, he felt very energetic.
Everyone was relieved and dared to report to the two palaces that Wu Changzai was fine.
The most relieved person was undoubtedly Xuan Ye. Every day when the current state affairs stopped, he would only think of her. When he went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, although the grandfather and grandson avoided talking, they could see each other's eyes clearly. The empress' grandmother even held her arm.
His hand said: "My grandson has finally grown up."
However, the emperor endured it, and so did the Empress Dowager, but the matter did not end there. Wu Changzai watched his body recover. Who would have thought that Duan Guiren's fetus could not be saved. Seven days later, Duan Guiren died of uterine bleeding.
I can’t stand Xiaoyue anymore.
For a person who had lost her daughter, this cruelty was like killing her. Rong Guiren no longer cared about the opinions of others, and took care of Duan Guiren day and night. After a few days, she finally overcame her grief and almost committed suicide.
The sisters pulled back.
Although Duan Guiren was born seven days later, everyone would think of this incident as the result of the humiliation that day between her and Wu Chang. This incident was rumored outside the palace. Rumors spread for a while, and Tong Guowei personally
She entered the palace to plead guilty to the emperor and asked him to forgive Concubine Tong for being young and immature. She even went to Cining Palace to confess her sins to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager only smiled bitterly: "You spoiled her before entering the palace, and no one restrained her after entering the palace. After all, we are the elders and we are also wrong. Besides, Duan Guiren did not have a miscarriage that day. The imperial doctor also said
She has been ill and weak for a long time in the past few years, and it is difficult to maintain this pregnancy. This matter cannot be entirely blamed on your daughter. That's all, the emperor didn't mention it, just pretend that it didn't happen."
On the Chengqian Palace side, Concubine Tong was sitting blankly at the door of the main palace. When she heard that her father had entered the palace, she wanted to wait for him to come and see her. From what happened that day to now, she has not been out for more than half a month, and she has not been out for more than half a month.
No one paid attention to her for months, and she only knew that there were imperial doctors visiting Zhongcui Palace every day. At first, she hoped that Wu Ya would die of her illness, but later she heard that she was cured, and hoped that she would be back to normal, until Duan Guiren gave birth to a miscarriage.
When the news came out, Concubine Tong was really dumbfounded.
At this time, Jingzhu came in from the door and saw that her master was still sitting. She hurriedly approached and said, "Master Tong has left the palace."
Concubine Tong was startled and looked straight at her. She suddenly came to her senses again and asked anxiously: "Why didn't you come to see me after you left the palace? Did the emperor drive him away, or did the empress dowager drive him away?
Of? Amma, has he been humiliated?"
"I don't know the specific details. I only know that the emperor said a few words and then left. After that, he stayed with the Empress Dowager for a long time. It seemed that nothing bad happened. However, when the slave went to invite me, your Excellency was just cold.
He smiled coldly and left the palace." Jingzhu said, and then said, "It seems that I still won't hold you responsible, so don't worry, Madam."
"Don't worry, how can I be reassured? They just ignored me like this on purpose, it didn't matter if they scolded me or hit me. It was because I was ignored like this that I lost all hope." Concubine Tong burst into tears and began to cry, "Even Ama doesn't care.
Now, who should I rely on? Why did I lose my mind that day and why didn't you stop me? Look how long it's been, I'm almost in limbo here."
Jingzhu didn't dare to say anything. There was no point in talking about what happened that day now. She should look to the future. She could only advise her: "Why don't you go see Wu Changzai in a few days and give yourself a chance to learn something."
Just make it clear. You are noble after all, and Wu Changzai can't offend your reputation. Now that she is relieved, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor may not care about it anymore."
"Why?" Concubine Tong said bitterly, "She is a little palace maid, why should I apologize? Is she worthy?"
"Your Majesty, I'm not apologizing, I'm just visiting." Jingzhu said sincerely, "The Emperor must be waiting for you to surrender, but what he wants is not for you to kneel in front of the Qianqing Palace. Who else does the Emperor care about, isn't it Wu Chang Zai?
You go over to express your condolences, and if everyone says a few polite words, the emperor will know that you have given in. After all, you are his biological cousin, what else can he do to you?"
Concubine Tong was crying so much that she couldn't swallow her breath: "Why should I go... If my aunt is still alive, who dares to bully me..."
Wu Yalanqi cried like this in Chengqian Palace, but Wu Yalanqi never cried in Zhongcui Palace. At most, she shed a few tears when she felt uncomfortable. That was because she was too uncomfortable, not because she wanted to cry.
After being rubbed and coaxed, she became happy again. After lazily recuperating for more than half a month, she gradually started to be annoying. At first, she looked pitiful because of her illness, and everyone agreed to whatever she wanted. In the past few days, they found out that she deliberately used the excuse of illness to act coquettishly.
, most likely ignore her.
At the end of March, the weather finally warmed up, and there was no need to burn charcoal in the house. Because she knew the spring flowers were blooming in the garden, but she couldn't go out. Lan Qi met with Pan Xia Rang today to get some flowers, and tomorrow she met Yu Kui and asked her again She went to fold wicker sticks to weave baskets, but no one paid attention to her. Knowing that she only wanted to go out for a walk, they only tricked her into taking medicine every day, and nothing else happened.
"You, I have never been like this before, but now you can only torment people. Huanchun and the others have become tired and thin from serving you. They don't know how to be considerate and always want this and that. When you get better, you will have nothing to do. You are not allowed to mess around anymore. "Even Bu Changzai lost his patience. When he heard her begging him to find the book that Huan Chun had hidden, he was in a fit of laughter and tears. He couldn't help mentioning the emperor and said, "The servants in the Qianqing Palace are all worried to death. The emperor's face is so sad. I haven’t seen a smiling face in my life, you will be well soon, then they can breathe a sigh of relief.”
The emperor did not go hunting in the paddocks this spring, and San Francisco reached a critical moment. He only focused on the affairs of the previous dynasty all day long, rarely had any leisure time, and only occasionally met Ronggui people, Yigui people, etc. His mood was not good. Only Eunuch Li reported it the next day. As Wu Changzai's body recovered slowly, he saw that his brows were slightly relaxed. Today, Eunuch Li came to report again and said with a smile that Lan Qi had lost his temper in the palace every day recently. It was obvious that he was getting better, and even the coughing was gone.
"Why did she lose her temper?" Xuan Ye was puzzled, "Do the people in the palace neglect her?"
Eunuch Li smiled helplessly: "My servant also inquired about it. He said that Chang Zai was tired of eating plain porridge and side dishes and wanted to eat meat. He also wanted to get out of bed and go out for a walk. He also wanted to read and write during the day, but Huanchun was afraid that reading would hurt his nerves. After hiding all the books, Chang Zai got angry with her and refused to take the spring medicine. Fortunately, Bu Chang Zai was there to support her, so she finally took the medicine every day. The slave thought that Wu Chang Zai's health should be fine. , just bickering with the palace maids every day is enough to keep me energetic."
Xuan Ye didn't know whether to feel distressed or angry. Why did she remain the same despite being so ill? She thought that after suffering such great humiliation, her character would have to change somewhat, but she still looked like she had grown up. She was actually happy in her heart. Yes, and I am worried that she is always bullied because of her good temper.
Eunuch Li saw that the emperor's face was a little brighter, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and deliberately said: "I thought it was time for the emperor to go and see Chang Zai. Chang Zai must have been looking forward to you in his heart, but you just didn't go and didn't send someone to ask. If I don’t know your thoughts, I always hold them in my heart and don’t express them, which is the most heart-wrenching thing.”
The words hit the target of Xuan Ye's concerns. He was really worried that this little girl would hide her worries and be depressed. How could she be completely fine after suffering such humiliation? He was troubled for a long time, so he ordered Eunuch Li, "Let the imperial kitchen think about it." Let me make some light meat dishes. She always eats plain porridge and side dishes and can’t keep up her energy. Tell me when you’ve finished it and take her with you to Zhongcui Palace.”
Eunuch Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly sent someone to inform the imperial kitchen. After an hour, it was ready and he came to ask the emperor to move.
When Xuan Ye came, he happened to see Bu Chang Zai going to the East Wing Hall, saying that it was time to take medicine. Lan Qi acted coquettishly and refused to take it, so Huanchun Yukui couldn't persuade her, so he came to invite her.
Xuan Ye praised her for taking care of her carefully these days, and Bu Changzai smiled happily: "This is what a concubine should do." Then he stepped back. She had long since stopped asking for the emperor's holy grace. Although she was weak-tempered and inexperienced, But for the sake of her daughter, she knew how she should live in this palace. Her deep relationship with Lan Qi as a sister could support her long-term success.
The emperor walked slowly to the window, and was listening to Huan Chun inside saying: "Master is so cruel, the slaves are really going to cry, why don't you take medicine? We have rock molasses, candied dates, what else do you want?"
Perhaps seeing that Huan Chun was really anxious, Lan Qi also said aggrievedly: "The medicine is too bitter. I drink it every day, and the breath on my body is bitter. I am really much better. Please beg me."
Can the imperial doctor replace me with something else? I argue with you every day, but you are too lazy to pay attention to me. You can rest instead. I will take the medicine now, Huan Chun, can you also return the book to me?"
Xuan Ye listened silently, with a smile on his face. Soon Huanchun came out with a medicine bowl. He saw the emperor standing under the window and hurriedly came over to kneel and kowtow. However, Xuan Ye booed and asked further away.
: "Does she make trouble like this every day?"
Huan Chun responded with a smile: "I didn't make a fuss when I was seriously ill a few days ago. Every day, the master is thinking about when it is time to take medicine, and he is determined to take good care of his body. It's just that he has been cured these past few days, so he always likes to act coquettishly, too.
She was afraid that the slaves would worry about her, so she played around with all her energy every day. When she was alone, she could be quiet and just focus on recuperating. The doctors all said that the master raised her by herself, and said that sick people are most afraid of period Ai. Master
It couldn't be more lively like this."
"Let Mr. Li reward you later. Say what you want." Xuan Ye was in a good mood. He turned around and walked to the door. He saw Yu Kui coming out and asked if there was no one else inside before quietly going in.
Lan Qi had no idea that the emperor was coming, because Huanchun finally couldn't bear it and returned the book to her. She was holding the half-read Xianshu read last time and looking at it excitedly. She was only wearing pajamas and lying on the bed with a quilt.
, probably feeling uncomfortable like this, she wrapped herself in a quilt and tried to sit up. Her movements were dexterous and brisk. She really didn’t look like a patient. She just turned around and saw Xuan Ye standing in front of her. The little person was quite surprised, but God knows what she was thinking.
The first thing that came to mind after seeing Xuan Ye was to immediately hide the book behind his back.
This small gesture made Xuan Ye really unable to pity him. He walked up to him and stretched out his hand, without saying anything with a sullen face. After a long while, Lan Qi pursed her lips and reluctantly handed over the book. Xuan Ye rolled up the book.
He tapped her forehead lightly: "Here it is, is it for you to see now?"
But the words were clearly half-joking, and the face was not so serious. The tip of the person's nose was red, and his eyes were sparkling. Tears fell from his cheeks as soon as his head shook. He quickly raised his hand to wipe them away, and pulled away the quilt on the bed to make room.
She asked the emperor to sit down in the open space and touched her hair for fear of being too messy and inappropriate. But while she was doing this in a hurry, her tears couldn't stop falling. When Xuan Ye came over and hugged her, it was the first time for Wu Yalan Qi.
Crying in the emperor's arms. Those cries made people's hearts break.
It took a long time to calm down. Xuan Ye gently touched her back and asked with a smile: "Is it because I haven't come to see you?"
"I thought it was useless for you to be angry with your concubine. People always bully you." Lan Qi used the word 'bully' without hesitation, even if that person was the noble Concubine Tong. She sat up from the emperor's arms and cried.
A smile appeared on Hua's face, and her eyes filled with tears showed determination, "There will never be a next time. I am not stupid."
