Chapter 5

As soon as she was dressed up and greeted the door, the man pushed the door open. Before Qingluan could say "Long live the emperor", he was supported by a pair of generous palms and bowed down. Yu Hao seemed to be in a good mood today, and walked towards the cabinet with her shoulders around her.

"I wronged you yesterday, but let you work in the Buddha hall for most of the night."

"The emperor's willingness to forgive concubines is already a blessing for concubines." Qingluan responded, and at the same time took the teacup in Shui Qiao's hand. Lift the porcelain lid slightly, and the fragrance of the house will immediately be emitted. She blew the heat carefully, but when she looked up, she saw that the Son of Heaven was staring at her playfully, and she lowered her head for a while. "What does the concubine have on her face, why do you look at the concubine like this."

"I wonder if this is a dream." He stretched out his hand to Qingluan, "Luan'er, who used to be so stubborn and unruly, is now serving so meekly. ”

Her hand shook suddenly, and the hot tea soup dripping in the palm of her hand made her heart ache. Qingluan leaned on his shoulder, but said in a deep voice: "Does the emperor like Luan'er in the past, or now?" ”

"The tenacious and competitive one in the past, now this gentle and virtuous one, I like it. Luan'er, if you are willing to promote you to be a concubine, it would be good. ”

The woman got up calmly, but bowed down and said slowly: "The emperor loves his concubines, and the concubines understand it." But recently, all kinds of matters point to concubines, and it is obvious that some people are not harmonious with concubines, which shows that concubines are far from enough. What's more, the emperor is busy with political affairs, and the country is stable, and the concubines don't want the emperor to be distracted by the harem and disappoint the virtuous ministers. ”

"Look at you, I just mentioned it casually." Yu Hao helped the woman up, but his tone was not without doting.

She looked up, but she didn't dare to look at the man in front of her who was called her husband with her eyes that were beating at this time. Why is she so eager to refute in her heart, even she herself is shocked.

I don't have such righteousness, maybe I'm just afraid. I am afraid that after being promoted to a concubine, that person will never have a chance to protect himself from now on, for fear that he will misunderstand that he has also learned to compete for favor with others. All kinds of things are for such a person who knows that there is no ending. Sometimes she also thinks that she is really terminally ill, and she has to live up to the person next to her pillow, and she has to worry about others.

Such a Qingluan, he is also very disgusted.

"It's the concubine who is worried about the sky." Qingluan quietly pulled out, sat on the other side of the soft couch, and said casually, "I heard Bai Yu and them say that the peach blossoms are beautiful this morning, so I thought that using this flower to make peach blossom cake must taste sweet, the emperor can not taste it?" ”

"It's fine. I'm really hungry with those old stubborns. ”

Then he ordered Bai Yu to bring up the peach blossom cake. Four pieces of delicate small cakes are held in a small plate with gold and jade patterns, with peach-colored soft skin, which becomes more and more transparent and bright after being added to the ghee, which is delicious and attractive. She pinched a piece and handed it to the Son of Heaven, stared at him and chewed it carefully, Fang asked casually: "This morning, why don't you see Su E waiting." ”

Bai Yu hurriedly said: "My aunt was sent to Chaofeng Palace in the middle of the night yesterday, and she hasn't come back yet. ”

The woman's hand trembled, and she knew in her heart that the queen really couldn't tolerate her. However, when he looked up at the emperor, he was eating a sweet mouthful, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all. Seeing that Qingluan was slightly stunned, she was only a little unhappy and said: "The queen is really, if something happens, she won't send someone in the middle of the night." ”

"Su E has also come to Chaofeng Palace several times to ask for peace because of his concubines, but he has never been in such a hurry. The concubine was worried. ”

"She's loyal to you, and I appreciate it. It's just that the woman also served the queen, and she was very much liked by Su Yue, so she wouldn't have anything to do. ”

Hearing what the emperor said, Qingluan had no choice but to sit down. However, I thought about it a lot absent-mindedly, and this morning was like sitting on pins and needles. I can't wait for the emperor to leave the palace before he dares to show an anxious look.

However, she didn't dare to rush into the queen's palace, if she was convicted for losing her sense of proportion, she really couldn't save Su E. So far, she can only think that the queen can look at the emperor and open up the Internet. What's more, since the emperor knows about this matter, he will definitely mention one or two.

Unexpectedly, after a moment of noon, there was still no movement. Just when Qingluan was anxious, Chaofeng Palace sent a steward to see him. When the eunuch saw Qingluan, he also looked arrogant, and said one by one: "Don't be anxious, the queen mother has explained, she just has some old things to discuss with your aunt." ”

must know that this is a pretext, but Qingluan is still not busy and said: "Su E has been waiting for me for some days, and I really don't know what old things the queen mother has that I can't finish talking about now." ”

"That's not something that people can know." The eunuch only grinned, and rolled his eyes a few times, "It's just that the slave guesses that for this person who betrayed the old master, whether it is a lady or a nobleman, the disposal method should be the same." ”

Qingluan felt a chill in his heart, only to feel that there was a cold liquid sliding down his back. Yes, she was thinking too simply. If the queen has the heart to get rid of Su E, it is enough to find a reason. Even if the emperor really knows that she is just a slave serving the nobles, the emperor will never do anything to the queen because of this.

So far, it's all you can do for yourself. Su E's matter must not be delayed any longer, Qin Suyue is ruthless, and it is not clear what Su E has been tortured into tomorrow.

"Bai Yu, accompany me to Chaofeng Palace."

"Yes."

After making up his mind, he carefully groomed again. When I turned around, I saw Shui Qiao standing aside with a complicated expression. Anything happened in the past, she was by her side. Today, Qingluan suddenly avoided her, and it was inevitable that she had doubts in her heart. A smile appeared on Qingluan's face, and he stretched out his hand to beckon Shui Qiao over. "You stay here, if you still don't see me come back in the evening, go and ask Imperial Concubine Jin to come forward."

Shui Qiao's suspicions suddenly disappeared, and he was deeply blessed. "The little lord should also be careful."

It's nearly May, and the sun is much stronger than before. Hua Wei Palace is still a short distance from where the queen is, and in a hurry, the sweat stains have already been wet and sticking to the middle clothes, which makes people's hearts flush with a wave of annoyance for no reason. In the past, Su E was accompanied by Su E countless times on this road, but now that she is gone, there is not even a credible person by her side. It's really sad to think about.

finally arrived at Chaofeng Palace, but saw that Mama Gui was already waiting outside the palace gate, and the queen also calculated early in the morning that she would come in person.

But that's fine. Qingluan was sure in his heart, and simply stepped in. Gui He also stepped forward and saluted the woman.

"The slave and maid greet the little master."

Although it was nominally a salute, it stood in front of the woman impartially, and the meaning could not be more obvious. "In recent days, Niangniang has always had a headache, this will just fall asleep, the little master must not disturb Niangniang's lunch break."

"The queen works hard day and night, and the concubine really shouldn't have nothing to ask forgive." Qingluan's face was still the same, and she said with a smile, "But this time the concubine is really important, can you allow me to go and say a few words." ”

"Little master, why bother. You are also a wise man, and you should not be bothered by such fruitless things. ”

Seeing that she insisted on blocking her, Qingluan was not in a hurry. "I just have a few words to offer, since the mother is sick, please ask the mother to convey it on her behalf."

She glanced at Bai Yu slightly, and the woman immediately took two steps back. Gui He obviously didn't expect Qingluan to be so easy to deal with, so he had to stand still and listen to her speak for a while.

"I don't know if Niangniang has ever heard the story of the balance of the boulders. There were originally two huge stones on the Lingfeng of Nanshan Mountain, which were balanced on a stilt tree, and they have not moved for many years. But because a bird accidentally fell on a stone one day, it rolled down the valley and shattered into powder. Qingluan paused, leaned closer to Mama's ear and whispered, "And now this little finch is still spinning in the air." As long as the mother wants to, it will never fall. ”

She looked at Gui He, who was stunned in place, and hid her face and chuckled. The outstretched hand was firmly held by Bai Yu, and he turned around and left, not mentioning Su E's affairs again. Now that the two palaces of Chaofeng Lingxian are balanced, she knows that the Empress Dao is also anxious and afraid. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to great lengths to get rid of herself as Concubine Chen's wings.

It's just that the queen forgot that taking the initiative to harm others is not self-preservation. can only make the people who originally had no rebellious heart kill. And this time, no matter what the outcome is, she can't sit still any longer. Since Qin Suyue has repeatedly targeted herself, how can she be slaughtered by others.

In the final analysis, it was she who was narrow-minded and couldn't tolerate others and forced herself to do so.
