Chapter 488, Qing Dynasty Chapter (6) Glory Continues
Cining Palace side hall.
The tranquilizer was boiling, the bitter medicine was steaming, and the snow outside had drifted away.
Concubine Xian trembled and took out the jade pot spring bottle given by the emperor, which was full of pale yellow powder. Xian Guifei trembled, shook a little bit of the medicine, only a little bit of the fingernail cover, and was soon drowned by the gurgling medicinal juice. It's as if everything has been put in it.
This medicine, Xian Guifei has been taking it for a month. A bottle of medicine has only been used, but the Queen Mother has already experienced a lot of discomfort - she is mentally exhausted, weak, and she falls asleep at every turn, and her complexion is getting worse and worse......
She has tried her best to control the dosage, but she didn't expect it to work!!
Xian Guifei bit her lip, she had no way back! Tomorrow, it will be the canonization ceremony of the imperial concubine, the emperor has agreed, and the Fucha clan will officially issue an order after the twenty-seven months of mourning, and make her the queen!
And at that time, presumably the Queen Mother was also-
In an instant, Concubine Xian's eyes were red. Her glory and her posterior position were all exchanged for her own aunt's life!
She tried her best to resist the desire to cry, poured the soothing soup out of the medicine jar, and poured a bowl full of dark bitter medicinal juice.
With the medicine in hand, Concubine Xian, as usual, walked step by step to the main hall of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was lying on the Luohan couch near the window of the Xinuan Pavilion, as if she was asleep, but she was still frowning in her sleep, as if she was not sleeping peacefully. The Queen Mother heard footsteps and woke up. It's been like this lately, sometimes I fall asleep in a trance, but as soon as there is movement. I was immediately pleasantly surprised. Therefore, although the Queen Mother sleeps a lot every day, she is still mentally exhausted.
"Queen Mother, drink the tranquilizer while it's hot. Concubine Xian put the medicine on the crescent table beside her. stepped forward to personally help the Queen Mother to straighten up. Then he picked up the medicine bowl again, stirred it with a small spoon, and blew hot air.
"Lilan......" The Queen Mother called faintly.
"What did you add to the medicine?" the Queen Mother asked softly.
But just such a sentence made Xian Guifei's hands tremble, and she almost smashed the medicine bowl in her hand, she forced a smile and replied, "Add some rock sugar." The Queen Mother will not be so bitter when she eats. ”
The Queen Mother raised her heavy eyelids and glanced at Concubine Xian, she said heavily and slowly: "Now that the matter is over, why do you bother to be sloppy with the mourning family?"
Xian Guifei's face turned white. "What the Queen Mother said again, the concubines didn't understand. ”
The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, "For more than a month, the mourning family's health is getting worse and worse. This Cining Palace. The mourning family inside and outside has been checked. The only one that hasn't been checked...... It's a tranquilizer that you boiled with your own hands. ”
The Queen Mother's tone was tired and low, but she did not ask the slightest question, as if she was talking to her niece.
But Concubine Xian couldn't hold it, she almost collapsed, she knelt on the ground with a puff, and cried on the spot, "Auntie!! Lilan can't stand you!!" A tear fell into the medicine bowl. Ripples in circles.
The Queen Mother sighed mournfully, "It's the emperor." Did you tell you to do it?"
Concubine Xian was shocked, "Auntie, you ...... You know it all?"
The Queen Mother said slowly: "I guessed it." You have no reason to harm the life of your mourning family, unless the emperor forced you. The emperor will force you, indicating that he really knows everything. The Queen Mother looked up at the beams of Cining Palace, on which were Soviet-style painted dragon and phoenix patterns, which were extremely gorgeous. She lived ...... It's been long enough.
"No wonder, the emperor will suddenly crown you as the imperial concubine......" the queen mother said quietly, "besides, what else did the emperor allow you?"
Concubine Xian burst into tears, "The emperor, the emperor still said...... In the coming year, I will set up a concubine as the successor!"
"Really?" the Queen Mother's tone was light, as if she was expected.
However, the next moment, the Queen Mother was furious, and she slapped Concubine Xian in the face. Although the Queen Mother was weak, she slapped her with all her strength, and she still made Xian Guifei's cheeks red and swollen.
Concubine Xian was slapped in the face, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Auntie...... It's all because the Lilan ghost has lost his mind and does this kind of thing that is inferior to a beast......"
"You are indeed a ghost!!" The Queen Mother roared angrily, "A queen's position bought you?!"
Concubine Xian wept so much that she was so guilty that she didn't even dare to look up at the Queen Mother.
"Go and ask the emperor for a child!!" the queen mother rebuked angrily.
Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, she raised her head and looked at her aunt in confusion, "Child?"
"Yes!!Ask the emperor for a child, your own child!!" The Queen Mother said heavily.
"Aunt ......" Concubine Xian burst into tears, it turned out that the Queen Mother was not blaming her, at this time, she still thought about her...... The thick guilt swept over my heart out of control. Xian Guifei only wants to die by herself at this moment!!
The Queen Mother sighed faintly: "Otherwise, with your mental means, how can you keep the position of the queen? The emperor can appoint you, and one day, he can also abolish you! In order to keep the position, you must have a biological son! Otherwise, your position cannot be stable!"
Concubine Xian hurriedly said: "But there are already five elder brothers under the concubine's knees......"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "It's not biological, it's different! The experience of the mourning family, do you still want to repeat it?!Don't forget Yongqi's biological mother, but you killed it with your own hands! If you support him, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be the second Hongli in the future!
Xian Guifei was stunned, her Yongqi ...... is so well-behaved, so sensible, and so filial......
"What's more, you don't know! Over the years, how could Yongqi have broken off relations with Concubine Yu?! This son, no matter how much you pay, you are destined to be a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!!" The Queen Mother hated and cursed.
"But-" Concubine Xian stroked the fine lines on the corners of her eyes, "But at this age, can the concubine have any more children?"
The Queen Mother snorted, "Concubine Jia's age is about the same as yours, didn't she give birth to Eleventh Elder Brother Yongying not long ago?!As long as the emperor is willing to give it, are you still afraid that you won't be able to conceive?!"
When the Queen Mother said this, Concubine Xian's heart couldn't help but beat. She hurriedly suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and hurriedly took out the jade pot spring bottle from her sleeve, and presented it with both hands: "Queen Mother, this ...... It was the emperor who asked his concubines to put in your medicine. ”
The Queen Mother only glanced at it, but did not take it, but said lightly: "You just continue to take the medicine." ”
Concubine Xian's eyes widened in shock, "Auntie, you, you...... What do you say? If you continue to use this medicine, you, you can ......."
The Queen Mother let out a breath and said, "The mourning family has lived at this age, so why should they be afraid of death? Paralyzed on the bed all day long, how much better can it be than death?"
Concubine Xian cried again, the Queen Mother wanted to use her life in exchange for the stability of the throne in the middle palace of her life!
"Li Lan, do you remember that after the mourning family is gone, it will be up to you to continue the glory of the Wulanala clan?
Xian Guifei gritted her teeth and nodded tearfully. (To be continued.) )
