When Qing'er finished telling the story, Lan Zixian's little face turned pale. Although the sun was shining brightly at this time, Lan Zixian still felt a gloomy wind.
She was a little aggrieved, why would His Majesty choose such a palace to house her? If His Majesty didn't like her, he could have thrown her into that inconspicuous palace, the Palace of Old Age and Death. However, His Majesty placed her in the palace closest to Fengwu Palace.
.When she was a little excited, she discovered that this place was actually a haunted house.
Just when she was at a loss, His Majesty actually asked Eunuch Shun to send her a reward. Some silks and satins and some jewelry, which looked dazzling.
Qing'er walked over leisurely, and then said to Lan Zixian, who was in a bad mood: "Miss, I see, your Majesty doesn't care at all whether Yuxian Pavilion is a ghost house or not. Miss, please don't get into trouble.
Since Your Majesty can send you a reward, it proves that His Majesty has you in his heart. However, you should still remember what happened the night before yesterday. It was Concubine Jing who asked you to perform the dance. Concubine Jing was the emperor's favorite concubine before. If the emperor had
Arrangement for you in a particularly good palace, and treating you with special eyes. Doesn’t this mean that I will attract Concubine Jing’s hatred?”
What Qing'er said was very reasonable. Didn't Concubine Jing hate her after knowing that Lan Zixian stayed in the palace? Naturally, Lan Zixian didn't know that Concubine Jing was actually Lan Ziyu, so he hated her even more.
A little deeper. In fact, for Concubine Jing, even if the person who performed the dance that day and the person who entered the palace today were not Lan Zixian, she would be equally unhappy.
Lan Zixian calmed down and looked at Qing'er and said: "Qing'er, actually, I have never thought about how I can get His Majesty's favor in the palace. As long as I can be safe in the harem, it is enough. You know,
Being able to enter the palace is already a blessing for the Lan family. And you can see my father's attitude towards me. He and my mother sent me out with smiles on their faces. I also knew very clearly what my father wanted to do.
Let me perform well in the palace and be able to help when the time comes. As long as no one plots against me after this harem, I will not take the initiative to plot against others. I will do well for the sake of the Lan family. Don't worry, Qing'er.
I won't let my thoughts wander." Lan Zixian said a lot to Qing'er quietly. She knew that she entered the palace not only to gain His Majesty's favor, but also to bring glory to the Lan family.
"Miss, since you went to see Concubine Jing today, she stayed behind closed doors. However, you can go again tomorrow. Anyway, His Majesty stayed at Yuxian Pavilion last night, so Concubine Jing must not have done too much. At least, on the surface.
You can still do it with kung fu." Qing'er said softly.
Qing'er is the person close to Mrs. Zhi, and Mrs. Zhi specially asked Qing'er to arrange for Lan Zixian to enter the palace. After all, Qing'er has been with Mrs. Zhi for a long time, and there are some things that can help Lan Zixian.
Lan Zixian nodded, and then said: "Yes."
Although His Majesty stayed in Yuxian Pavilion last night, Lan Zixian knew better than anyone else that nothing happened last night. Some things should not be rushed and need to be done slowly.
Soon, Murong Xi got the news.
Feng Mingye was also in the Royal Courtyard at this time, and heard Mo'er say with a puzzled tone: "Miss, when I found out that Lan Zixian was placed in Yuxian Pavilion by the emperor, they were talking about Yuxian
When entering the pavilion, I was very careful. Seeing their expressions, I felt that they seemed to be very scared. Isn't the Yuxian Pavilion closest to Fengwu Palace? Since the young lady has detoxified His Majesty's poison, His Majesty must have wanted to do this.
Concubine Jing and Lan Zixian are playing slowly. However, I am very curious about what secrets Yuxian Pavilion has that keeps the palace people silent."
Murong Xi naturally
Not knowing what happened in Yuxian Pavilion, everyone looked at Feng Mingye's half-smiling face and asked: "Mo'er, His Highness Pluto must know what you want to know."
Feng Mingye smiled with eyes. He knew that the little fox must also want to know. So, he said softly: "Actually, this matter has something to do with the late emperor. It was the late emperor's favorite concubine Yu Guifei, who lived there.
In the Yuxian Pavilion, the reason why everyone in the palace kept silent was because the older palace people did not dare to say anything, and the palace people who had been in the palace for only a few years did not know about it. They just knew about Yuxian
The pavilion is a ghost palace, so naturally we don't dare to talk nonsense, because the death of Concubine Jade was extremely tragic back then."
Murong Xi blinked her eyes, how could her father be so sinister that he let Lan Zixian live in this palace. Although it was the closest to Concubine Jing's Fengwu Palace, it still made Lan Zixian feel uneasy.
But what exactly happened that year? Why did Yuxian Pavilion turn into a ghost palace after Concubine Yu died? Did Concubine Yu commit suicide or was she killed? She chuckled and asked quickly: "What exactly happened that year?"
What happened? How did Concubine Yu die tragically?"
After Feng Mingye thought about it for a while, she slowly started talking about it when the late emperor wanted to make him a prince.
"This incident happened more than ten years ago, when the emperor was almost twenty years old..." Feng Mingye recounted the events of that year vividly.
Murong Xi and Mo'er finally figured out why the palace officials looked weird when they mentioned Yuxian Pavilion.
"It turns out that there was such a past event back then. The tragic death of Concubine Jade must have had a lot to do with the charms engraved on her body. Only if she died extremely tragically would the charms be effective. However, she ignored one point.
"Murong Xi thought of a book she had seen in her previous life. The content in the book was about curses and how to make the spells work.
"What point did she ignore?" Feng Mingye also asked very curiously.
"She ignored that this tragic death did not include suicide. If she was killed by someone, and the death was extremely tragic, then the spell would take effect immediately. Unfortunately, she did not know it. Moreover, the late emperor had feelings for Concubine Yu.
, naturally he will not kill her. Even if he is given death, it will only be poisoned wine, Bai Ling or the like. Therefore, she miscalculated. In other words, her death is quite unworthy. However, I am very unhappy.
Understand, since the late emperor loved Concubine Yu very much, then why did Concubine Yu suddenly want her son to become the crown prince? Why did her personality suddenly become so extreme?" Murong Xi asked puzzledly.
"I heard that the late emperor was also very puzzled about this at the time, but the matter has passed, and not long after the death of Concubine Yu, the late emperor also passed away. Therefore, although everyone did not mention the curse, they were still a little afraid in their hearts.
The late Emperor sealed the Yuxian Pavilion before his death, and the Queen Mother did not object. It was not until yesterday that the Yuxian Pavilion was unsealed, and I don’t think the emperor was afraid at all." Feng Mingye said slowly.
"By the way, Miss, I heard that Lan Zixian went to the Queen Mother's Palace early this morning, but he was kicked out by the Queen Mother after sitting there without even burning an incense stick. Because, the Queen Mother casually asked where Lan Zixian lived.
In which palace, Lan Zixian just said three words, Yuxian Pavilion. The queen mother told Lan Zixian that if nothing happens in the future, she should not go to Xiangfu Palace again." After Mo'er thought about what he asked about today,
Said slowly.
"Well, it seems that the Queen Mother is still worried about the curse." Murong Xi sighed and said.
"At that time, the late emperor was in his prime, but because of
Unable to withstand the blow, she fell ill. In her heart, the Queen Mother naturally thought that the curse of Concubine Jade had an effect. The Queen Mother felt very bitter. She and the late Emperor were a young couple, but the late Emperor brought back Concubine Yu from outside.
The imperial concubine was said to have fallen in love at first sight. What she didn't expect was that she would die under the curse of imperial concubine Jade. How could the queen mother bear this? Since that incident, the queen mother has devoted herself to Buddha." Feng Mingye said quietly.
said.
"What I didn't expect was that Yunzhou was such a good fiefdom that the late emperor left it to King Jin. Although the late emperor was furious at Concubine Yu's condition at that time, he did not impose this crime on King Jin. He gave it back to him
Such a good fiefdom keeps him away from the right and wrong in the court." Murong Xi envied King Jin very much. The late emperor was very kind to King Jin. King Jin was not suitable to be an emperor, and something like Concubine Jade happened to the late emperor.
He was also afraid that Murong Yu would be unfavorable to King Jin when he became emperor. Before his death, he issued an imperial edict and sent King Jin to Yunzhou. Alas, all the hard work was wasted.
"That's true, you have also seen that Yunzhou is managed well by King Jin." Feng Mingye said with great approval.
"By the way, when I fell into the water, didn't you ask Prince Jin to help you find my whereabouts?" Murong Xi asked.
"Of course I will use other methods to find you. When I look for you under the banner of Pluto, most of them will be on the water. These are all hidden from the emperor, and naturally they will not let King Jin know." Feng Mingye said simply.
Murong Xi nodded. She knew that Feng Mingye should have other forces in his hands. Naturally, she couldn't let Murong Yu know about it, let alone King Jin.
Feng Mingye murmured: "After I knew you fell into the water, I only took Ye Feng and the others to set off. After a few days, I sent out the message that Pluto would leave the capital to find your whereabouts. Just like now, tomorrow morning
When I returned to the capital, I released the news of my return after I was cured of the poison. The people guarding Xuanmen Villa outside Pluto's Mansion naturally didn't know that the poison on my body was cured. However, they would definitely receive the news as soon as possible.
After all, Xuan Rubing must know that the poison has been cured. When they go back to recover, they will definitely tell Xuan Rubing that I did not cure the poison in the palace."
Murong Xi nodded, thought of the old man, and asked: "What should the old man do here? Do we need to let him meet Murong Yi alone? Also, do we need to find out the background of Murong Yi and I from my father?"
Any chance to tell him?"
Feng Mingye smiled and said: "The old man will tell the emperor personally. After the old man has finished speaking to the emperor, it doesn't hurt to let him see Murong Yi again. Now that the poison in the emperor's body has been cured, he also knows what he should do next.
How to do it. I guess that since there is no news about you in Yunzhou, she will soon be exposed. But, I don’t know what she has in mind." Feng Mingye said slowly.
"By the way, there is also Concubine Zhen, I have never been able to figure it out. I heard that she only met her father once after she entered the palace. It was just because when his father saw her, he thought that there was something between his eyebrows and his mother.
There were some similarities, so the father never went to Yuzhen Pavilion again. Since she was not favored, why did Concubine Shu insist on poisoning her for so long? Also, why did Murong Ya treat Zhen at such a young age?
Concubine is full of hostility?" Murong Xi really couldn't figure out what Concubine Zhen had done to make Concubine Shu take the risk to poison her.
"Concubine Zhen? I really haven't noticed this empress in the palace, I just know that she is very low-key. However, over the years, I have never heard that Concubine Shu would poison other concubines in order to compete for favor.
