Chapter 3 The Plan of the Middle Palace 4
Yu Yan only felt a little funny at the moment, although there were crazy ghosts in the palace, but in fact, no one had seen it with their own eyes. It's just that there are people who love to fan the flames at will, and these pampered little hostesses are like great enemies. They are not afraid of the sinister hearts of the harem, but they are worried about some and not, no wonder Yu Hao is reluctant to come to the harem for a while, if you see them sad all day long, it is better to be calm in the imperial study.
"Why are the two sisters here?" As soon as Yu Yanfu spoke, the throbbing nobleman hurriedly raised his face and said, "The concubine can be regarded as seeing the mother." β
Yu Yan only sat upright, took a sip of tea, and only raised her head to look at her for a long time: "It's rare that you are so flustered, but something big happened." β
"Now it is rumored everywhere in the palace, that is, Niangniang is always accompanied by the saint, so she will be so calm." The palpitating nobleman turned pale, and he also felt that he was a little out of order, so he couldn't help but sit still, "The concubine is so scared that the six gods have no master." β
"Didn't the queen say that the mage will come on the fifth day of the first month, if you believe in the ghosts and gods, it is good to ask for a peace charm when the time comes."
When the throbbing nobleman heard this, he was quite shocked and said, "Why, the mother doesn't believe it? Yes, Niangniang is not in Qingren Palace, so naturally I don't know. The concubine once went to see Zhao Guiren secretly, and she was almost incontinent...... A person who used to be so glamorous had to see something to become like that. If the mother didn't believe it, Pu promised to know about it. β
When her name was called, the woman was reflexively startled, and then said: "Yes, the concubine was also there that time, and Zhao Guiren's appearance was really terrifying." She lay on the bed, as if she was breathing with great difficulty, but she stared behind us with a pair of big eyes. Don't hide it from the mother, the concubine is probably dying when she looks at her like that. β
As soon as the throbbing nobleman heard this, he suddenly stood up like a frightened bird, covered his heart with his hand and said: "She is dying, will she also turn into a ghost and haunt me after she dies!" β
"If she really dies, what you should worry about most is whether the emperor will condemn you." Seeing that she was so frightened, Yu Yan only said coldly for a while, "Su E, give the noble a pot of hot strong tea, suppress her heart, and she will know how to speak." β
Seeing that Yuyan's face was not good, the throbbing nobleman sat down in a daze, and said with a sudden heartbeat: "Although the concubine is in charge of Qingren Palace, Zhao Guiren's illness has nothing to do with the concubine, and the emperor can't punish the concubine for no reason." β
"Nothing to do with it? Are you really innocent? Yu Yan was slightly dressed, and the heavy gauze Jin Hanrong pinched the safflower wide sleeves and rolled up a few cool breezes, "After Zhao Guiren was banned, he secretly ate how many lynchings you had." Bengong told you at the beginning, it doesn't matter what you do, but don't let her die, do you think the emperor doesn't know anything. β
The woman was a little relieved at this time, but she was still unwilling: "If Zhao Guiren's delirium is related to the concubine, then Mrs. Yunping also came a few days ago, maybe she said something......"
was swept away by Yu Yan's eyes, and the throbbing nobleman was busy talking about high-level concubines behind his back, and it was a big crime of disrespect to say it. Yu Yan peeled a chestnut from the plate and looked at the two in front of him quietly. They have no reason to lie, that is the ninth winter, and on the cusp of this and wrong, Mrs. Yunping went to see what she was doing. Thinking like this, I didn't feel that I had a thought in my heart, so I didn't hurry and said: "You only need to send someone to take care of Zhao Guiren when you go back, and the palace will find a way to do other things." Just one point, don't call her so light yΓ¬ and die. β
The two of them hurriedly responded, and then they shrank and took their leave.
Su E sent her two out of the palace and came back, and saw that Yuyan was already sitting in front of the bronze mirror with her hair in a bun, so she said, "Niangniang, this is going out?" β
Yu Yan combed her usual hibiscus bun, and at this time she was leaning on a red bead phoenix hairpin, and when she heard the words, she said: "You personally go to Xining Palace to tell Mrs. SΓΉ Yunping, and I will go to talk to her after dinner." β
Su E was stunned, but she didn't mean to act immediately: "Does Niangniang really want to ask Mrs. Yunping for the sake of a nobleman." β
"I always feel that this matter is not so simple, judging from the symptoms of Concubine Li and Zhao Guiren, it can almost be determined that it was done by the same person." Yu Yan turned around to look at her, and smoothed out her thoughts as she spoke, "If it was originally done by someone who was jealous of Concubine Li, then Zhao Guiren has been down for half a year, and there is no hope of regaining favor, who will kill again." β
Su E also seemed to understand, nodded and said: "The two of them have only one thing in common, that is, it is relatively easy to start during the lockdown, and someone must be trying to take advantage of this to cause trouble." β
"So if you don't ask Mrs. Qingyunping, you won't be able to know the whole story." Yu Yan groaned slightly, and finally slowly pinned a piece of white jade butterfly with a pressing method, "Zhao Guiren is no longer good, but at the end of this final, maybe he can help me a little." β
When I arrived at Xining Palace later, it was Yishuang who came to greet me and said, "Niangniang has arrived, and Mrs. has prepared tea and snacks and is waiting inside." β
When I entered the door, I saw Mrs. Yunping sitting on the beauty couch, holding Princess Fuhui talking and laughing. In fact, where does the child who has just been born for a few months know what she is talking about, but looking at such a fair-skinned and lovely child, Mrs. Yunping's mood seems to be a lot more cheerful. She was dressed in a tide red gauze palace dress, and her neckline was embroidered with long flowers, which was a red spider plant that hung down to the cuffs. She wore an ordinary high bun, although casual, but also chic, and she seemed to be a little younger under the light of a few dark beaded flowers. Fleur was very quiet and well-behaved in her arms, and she smiled very happily when she looked at Mrs. Yunping.
Maybe she just wanted to use this child to regain her favor at first, but now her eyes flashed with the brilliance of motherhood. Yuyan has a child, and she can see her joy, and when she thinks about it like this, she feels that she will not harm Zhao Guiren abruptly.
"My sister is so interested." After saying that, Mrs. Yunping saw her and called her up affectionately, handed the princess to the nurse, and beckoned, "You are here, sit down." β
Yu Yan was also not formal, and sat down in her skirt before listening to the woman say: "I rarely see you here on weekdays, how can I be free today." β
"There are rumors of hauntings in the palace, and even the queen is exempt from morning and dusk, and my sister is really bored in the palace." Yu Yan smiled like a peony, "Look at my sister, but I'm not afraid." β
"Bengong has lived for such an age, how can he believe this. Moreover, the hearts of the harem people are far more terrible than evil ghosts. Mrs. Yunping said and laughed, but her eyes kept staring at the nurse and went out with Hibiscus in her arms. Yu Yan then looked over, and saw that the little princess was looking at her curiously, so she couldn't help but smile, "It's really a mother-daughter relationship." β
Mrs. Yunping lowered her head a little shyly: "If it wasn't for my sister......
"The concubine decided that her sister would be good to her, so she pushed the boat down the river." Yu Yan hugged the purple gold flying sparrow hand stove tightly, and stared at the person in front of her, "When it comes to winter, the subordinates in my sister's palace are all dressed warmer than others, and the same is true for the subordinates, not to mention my sister's own children. β
"That's exactly what you're saying, with Hibiscus, I really don't want anything anymore." Mrs. Yunping pulled the loose bun around her ears and sighed to the window, "Sometimes when I wake up, I worry about whether this is a dream or not. Do you know that when I heard that Zhao Guiren of Qingren Palace was not good, I was actually relieved in my heart. β
Yu Yan replied: "The concubine understands." β
"Don't hide it from my sister, I've been to see her before."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yunping would mention this matter by herself, Yu Yan was stunned, and there was no need to say what she had prepared, so she had to pretend to be surprised and said: "At this juncture, my sister will not avoid suspicion." β
"It was a year ago when I went, and I was really dizzy and unbearable." Mrs. Yunping sighed as she spoke, picked up the teacup and gently took a sip to moisten her throat before continuing, "At that time, because the emperor still ignored her at the end of the year, she had a sense of resentment, and shouted Furui's name all day long. I was really afraid, afraid that this child would one day ask me who her birth mother was. β
Yu Yan had also heard of such a thing, but then there was a matter of Concubine Li, and she had no time to pay attention to it. Now listening to Mrs. Yunping, I can't help but smile: "My sister is too worried, the princess's biological mother is only one, which is known to everyone in the palace." The emperor has also decreed that no slave will risk his life to spread this gossip. β
Mrs. Yunping nodded, and thought deeply: "I was confused at the time, and now I think about it, I really shouldn't be." β
The more Yu Yan listened, the more strange she felt, but she had to press the question in her heart and said calmly: "That sister can explain it to her." β
"Hongu ventured to Gyeongin Palace, but he didn't want to say anything." The woman paused slightly, and said closely, "I won't tell you, when I went, she was already a little delirious. β
Yuyan was stunned when she heard this, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year when the news came out in the palace, and because Yuhao felt unlucky, she asked the queen to send a doctor to treat her. But according to Mrs. Yunping's words, almost as soon as Concubine Li's front foot recovered, she fell ill. However, Yuyan knew that whether Mrs. Yunping did it or not, she didn't need to lie to herself. And Zhao Guiren's matter was raised by her personally, if there is a ghost in her heart, who will throw herself into the net.
But I heard the woman continue: "I only thought she was really pitiful, her husband's favor was just a flash in the pan, and she herself lost her child. Now he is confined to the cabinet, not to mention being humiliated, and he is haunted by strange diseases. If I were her, I would really die a hundred. β
"But she's not going to die." Yu Yan casually stroked the wishful pattern of the hardware on the stove, and stared at the beard, "She still has family glory, and she asks for too many things, so she doesn't dare to die, and she can't die." β
Stunned for a moment, Mrs. Yunping also said that she was dazzled. Yu Yan's face flashed with deep disgust and murderous intent. She couldn't believe that in just a few years, a person with an innocent heart could become so formidable. In the endless framing and slander, Yuyan discarded the heart of goodness, but won the overall situation. Maybe only this kind of person can survive for a long time in the harem.
"This palace doesn't have my sister's ruthlessness, so it's hard to make a big deal. At that time, I just thought that her situation was really miserable, and she didn't seem to listen to anything when I talked to her. Mrs. Yunping gently tapped on the edge of the teacup and sighed several times, "So I came out when there was no one." β
"It seems that Zhao Guiren's illness this time is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." Yu Yan already knew it in her heart after hearing this, so she smiled quietly, "I will explain to her that what my sister is worried about will never happen." β
