Chapter 67
Qianlong walked out of the body and hall with a gloomy face, and Wu Shulai, Qiulan and Qiuyue, who were serving outside the hall, saw Qianlong's gloomy expression, and they were all very uneasy in their hearts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Wu Shulai didn't know the inside story, he could see from Qianlong's expression that Qianlong was obviously really angry at this time. However, looking at the harem, the concubines and concubines who made Qianlong so angry, even if they were not immediately given death or sent to the cold palace, they would be removed from their titles and demoted to show punishment.
Just like the previously favored imperial concubine Gao accidentally angered Qianlong, wasn't she also demoted to a concubine by Qianlong as a punishment!
Thinking of the palace scandal that occurred in Chuxiu Palace last night, Wu Shulai couldn't help but be even more worried.
Looking at the emperor's thunderous and angry appearance, if he gave the lady concubine to death in a fit of anger, it would be a pity for such a beautiful woman! Even if the emperor did not give a three-foot white silk or a cup of poisonous wine, but directly sent the lady concubine into the cold palace, the lady concubine will definitely suffer a lot because of this.
To put it mildly, Leng Gong, is that where people live? Even the windows were nailed, and no one was allowed to go out of the house to eat, drink, or drink, nor to be seen by any of the palace people. Don't say that a delicate beauty like a lady concubine is a strong man who has been locked up like this for a few years, and sooner or later he will become a waste.
If it really comes to this point, then the fifth and sixth elder brothers from Shufei Niangniang, as well as the eldest brother recorded in Shufei Niangniang's name, will have a sad life in the palace in the future. In this way, the deprivation of the title and demotion seem to be the lightest punishment so far......
Just as Wu Shulai was thinking wildly, he saw Qianlong, who was walking forward quickly, suddenly slowed down, and even gradually stopped.
The palace people serving around were puzzled, and hurriedly stopped, bowed their heads, and waited for Qianlong's instructions.
Qianlong frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned his head sideways and instructed Qiulan: "Concubine Shu is young and vigorous, she is already the mother of the three elder brothers, and she should be more secure in doing things." From now on, Concubine Shu was ordered to copy Buddhist scriptures in the dormitory for half a month. Concubine Shu is weak, so there is no need to fast. The medicinal diet and tonic that should be used can't be stopped......"
Qianlong paused, and a trace of chagrin appeared in his narrow phoenix eyes, which then disappeared and returned to his indifferent appearance.
Wu Shulai, Qiu Lan, Qiu Yue and others were all a little dumbfounded when they heard Qianlong's order, and they secretly sighed in their hearts, sighing that Concubine Shu Niangniang was really favored by the emperor!
If this matter should have been on the bodies of other concubines and concubines, and they would have been demoted or given to death by the emperor a long time ago, how could it be so light to copy the Buddhist scriptures for half a month and reveal this matter? Not to mention that even when the emperor issued an edict to punish the concubine, he did not forget to tell the palace people to provide medicinal food and tonic medicine to the concubine on time. Isn't such an earnest exhortation and fist-fighting intention a manifestation of love to the bone?
Qianlong turned around and walked a few steps forward, but stopped again, his brows tightened a little tighter than just now, all kinds of complicated looks flashed in his deep eyes, and finally sighed lightly, and couldn't help but tell Qiulan and Qiuyue: "Although Concubine Shu can't leave the dormitory, if she wants to see the fifth or sixth elder brother, the two of you will bring the two little elder brothers into the dormitory to meet Concubine Shu." The rest of the people, during the period when Concubine Shu was copying Buddhist scriptures, were not allowed to go to the Body and Hall to disturb Concubine Shu. Whoever violates the decree will be severely punished for disobeying the holy decree and disobeying the holy will! ”
Qianlong didn't know what to think of, a touch of ruthlessness and murderous intent flashed in his bright phoenix eyes, he snorted coldly, and continued to tell Qiulan and Qiuyue: "I can naturally trust the skills and kung fu of the two of you, otherwise, I would not have sent you to Chuxiu Palace to serve Concubine Shu." You must guard the body and the temple, and take care of the concubine and the two little brothers. If there is someone who does not respect the holy decree and insists on making trouble with Concubine Shu and the two little elder brothers, the two of you don't have to care about her status and status, just beat them out! You guys...... Can you remember clearly? ”
Qiulan and Qiuyue were both stunned in their hearts, but then there was a burst of joy, and they hurriedly nodded respectfully and promised, and promised again and again that they would take care of Concubine Shuniang and the two little brothers.
After Qianlong gave this order, although he was temporarily relieved, he was still a little angry in his heart, and he instructed Qiulan with some chagrin: "Concubine Shu needs to be calm and calm now, and she doesn't need you to enter the palace to serve." When it's time for dinner, you can go into the palace and serve the concubine for dinner. ”
Qiulan and Qiuyue lowered their heads, both feeling that their master was obviously thinking about Shufei Niangniang in his heart, but he couldn't help but have trouble with Shufei Niangniang, acting like this was really not like the actions of a resolute emperor, however, they didn't dare to say anything about their master's decision, so they could only respectfully follow the order.
After Qianlong left Chuxiu Palace, he did not return directly to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but went straight to the Shen Criminal Division.
Qianlong retreated from the people who served around him, and even his cronies and secret guards were not left, and he was alone and interrogated the eunuch Xiao Fangzi again. Xiao Fangzi used medicine on his body, and although he couldn't speak, he was still quite conscious.
Qianlong interrogated Xiao Fangzi alone for an hour, and then when he left the Shen Fang Division, his face had returned to his usual mood of joy and anger, and he only ordered the palace people who were on an errand in the Shen Fang Division to take care of Xiao Fangzi, not only three meals a day to eat and drink, but also ordered his most trusted Tai Hospital right court to sentence Wu Qian to go to Xiao Fangzi for diagnosis and treatment, and ordered Wu Tai Doctor Wu to save Xiao Fangzi's life no matter what good medicine he used.
Qianlong left the two secret guards in the Shen Punishment Division, carefully instructed the two of them a few words, and then returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and ordered his henchmen to investigate the family history and background of Xiao Fangzi and the three palace maids related to him, and began to carefully investigate the case again.
In the Changchun Palace, when Queen Fucha Ningxiu heard that Xiao Yan was confined in the dormitory by Qianlong and was going to be ordered to copy Buddhist scriptures for half a month, she was happy at first, but after thinking about it, she gradually tightened her brows.
According to her understanding of Gao Fang, that stingy and jealous woman would never be able to continue to endure Xiao Yan, the concubine who monopolized the emperor's favor, and would definitely take action against Xiao Yan.
However, if Gao Fang had already made a move, would her strategy have succeeded or failed?
There must have been a big incident in Chuxiu Palace last night, otherwise the emperor would not have dealt with so many palace people overnight, but he kept the truth tight, so that she couldn't find out the slightest news, which was really worrying!
If Gao Fang had worked hard to make Xiao Yan confined to the palace by the emperor and punished for copying Buddhist scriptures for half a month, then Gao Fang would have been too incompetent!
However, it is also a good thing that Xiao Yan can be temporarily grounded by the emperor. In this way, she had the opportunity to make some articles and provoke the emperor's misunderstanding of Xiao Yan. It's best to take this opportunity to let Xiao Yan be grounded like this, and never get the chance to face the saint again, so that a major event in her heart can be over.
In the Chengqian Palace, the noble concubine Gao Fang paced in the hall restlessly, and from time to time ordered the confidants to inquire about the news, but she became more and more worried and disappointed because of the news she received.
The emperor severely punished a group of palace people because of the scandal that happened in Chuxiu Palace last night, but he used thunderous means to cover up last night's scandal impenetrable, making it difficult for everyone in the palace to get a glimpse of the slightest rumor.
The emperor personally went to the Shen Criminal Division to interrogate the palace people who committed the crime, and then ordered Imperial Doctor Wu to recuperate for his good life and save his life. Could it be that things have changed? I don't know if Xiao Fangzi betrayed her, or the emperor wanted to cover it up, just to lure the snake out of the hole.
Even though she had successfully splashed a basin of dirty water on Xiao Yan's body, the emperor not only did not issue an order to kill Xiao Yan, nor did he demote her to a concubine and send her to the cold palace, but only ordered her to copy Buddhist scriptures in the palace for half a month, and also ordered that others were not allowed to disturb the body and hall. Is this a punishment? Or protection in disguise? I'm afraid it's more of the latter!
The more Gao Fang thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. Thinking about it, I actually fell on the bed and cried sadly. Thinking about his current situation, I can't help but cry more and more sad and desolate.
In the dormitory of the body and hall, Xiao Yan looked at the door of the palace that had been closed since Qianlong left, and stared at it in a daze, forgetting to get up. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his legs were so numb and tingling that he couldn't move.
At this moment, the door of the dormitory suddenly opened, and Qiu Lan walked in with a food box.
Qiulan was also shocked when she saw Xiao Yan still kneeling on the ground, so she hurriedly put down the food box, walked forward quickly, helped Xiao Yan up, helped her sit down on the beauty couch by the window, rubbed her legs with dexterous hands with moderate strength, and comforted her softly: "No matter what, Niangniang should also take good care of her body." How can I kneel on the ground for so long, and my mother's knees are a little red and swollen! ”
Xiao Yan didn't continue the topic, but said calmly: "Where are Yongqi and Yongying now?" Bring them to me. ”
Xiao Yan's expression was calm on the surface, but her hands had already clenched into fists involuntarily, and her heart was beating faster and faster, almost holding her breath, as if Qiu Lan's answer could decide whether she could continue to live in the world, or be beaten into the eighteenth layer of hell and never be able to live forever.
Qiulan's eyes were sharp, and she naturally saw Xiao Yan's nervousness, and she sighed with emotion in her heart, and hurriedly comforted her softly: "Don't worry, when the emperor left, although he confined Niangniang in the dormitory and ordered Niangniang to copy Buddhist scriptures for half a month, he was extra gracious and cared about Niangniang's frailty, so he was exempted from fasting." The emperor also ordered the slave maid and Qiu Yue to serve the mother and the two little brothers, and specially instructed the slave and maid that if the mother wanted to see the two little brothers, the slave and the autumn moon would bring the two little brothers over to see the mother. ”
Xiao Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, her clenched fists slowly loosened, and she even felt grateful to Qianlong in her heart, thanking her for not depriving her of the right to see her two children, nor did he deliberately hold her two sweethearts and souls to other concubines to raise in order to punish her.
Xiao Yan knew very well in her heart that if Qianlong did that, she would definitely go crazy. She couldn't tolerate her two sons staying around those ill-intentioned concubines, even for a moment!
Qiulan looked at Xiao Yan's pale face, her heart moved, and she hurriedly repeated Qianlong's original words in a vivid voice, and couldn't help but persuade: "Niangniang's body is delicate, these days of medicine and recuperation, finally better, seeing that it is almost safe, I didn't expect such a thing to happen again." The slave believes in Niangniang and knows that Niangniang must have been wronged this time. Although the emperor was furious about this matter, he still thought of Niangniang in his heart, otherwise, for Niangniang and the two little brothers, it would not be such an arrangement now. Mother and relax, take care of your own body. Even if it is for the sake of the two little brothers, the mother has to grit her teeth and survive this hurdle, don't you say? After tossing for so long, the mother must be hungry. Niangniang had some dinner first, and then the slave maid brought the two little brothers over to accompany Niangniang. ”
Xiao Yan couldn't see her two baby sons at this time, and where could she eat, so she insisted: "I miss Yongqi and Yongying very much, let's bring them over first, I'll play with them for a while, and then it's not too late for dinner." ”
Qiu Lan has been following Xiao Yan for some time, and she also knows that Xiao Yan is gentle and obedient on the surface, but she is also a little stubborn and stubborn on the inside, knowing that no matter how much she persuades, it is useless, so she will no longer be in vain, and after bowing to Xiao Yan and retreating, she will first take Qiu Yue to carry Yongqi and Yongying into the dormitory and put them in Xiao Yan's arms, and then look for a suitable opportunity to persuade Xiao Yan to eat.
Xiao Yan finally got her wish and saw the two sons she had been thinking about, seeing that they were still as lively and lovely as usual, obviously not suffering any grievances, and finally felt a little relieved.
Xiao Yan hugged Yongqi and Yongying for a while, and only then did she have some dinner under the persuasion of Qiulan and Qiuyue, but when she saw the medicinal food, she was a little stunned.
Qiulan looked at Xiao Yan's expression and added an explanation in a timely manner, "This medicinal diet was specially instructed by the emperor to the slaves and maids, so that the slaves and maids should persuade the maids to use more anyway." The emperor also said that Niangniang's body has just improved, and it is important not to cut off the medicinal diet at this time, but it will make the previous recuperation fall short, and miss the best time to recuperate Niangniang's body. ”
Qiu Yue also said: "This bird's nest porridge is made of the best blood swallows that the emperor ordered Gonggong Wu to send to Chuxiu Palace in the afternoon, which is the most suitable for Niangniang to make up for her body!" The slave maid heard Gonggong Wu say that this batch of blood swallows that had just been sent to the palace, except for the emperor who sent more than half to the queen mother, all the rest were sent to Chuxiu Palace to the mother! ”
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, lowered her head and drank a small sip of bird's nest porridge, looking at the delicious and glutinous bird's nest porridge, but she didn't know what to eat, and the expression on her face was a little complicated, and she was a little dazed.
Qianlong, what is this? Do you give a slap to a sweet date?
Xiao Yan thought about the prompts of the system in her mind, but now the system couldn't measure Qianlong's favorability towards her, and she couldn't help but feel a strong uneasiness in her heart.
