Since the beginning of winter, Yiliang Palace has not been peaceful for many days, and at first it was because of Li Concubine.

After the Son of Heaven rarely visited her, the woman's health began to deteriorate, and although she called for a doctor, it was fruitless. After she was exempted from morning and dusk for several days, the queen was finally a little dissatisfied, and the harem gradually whispered. When she was in the morning of this day, the queen saw that the place was still empty, so she said, "Concubine Li has been sick for the past few days, and I don't know what is happening now." ”

Qing Shunyi is the most shrewd, how could she not see the meaning of the queen's words, she only put her hand against her chin and smiled: "Sister Li Concubine's illness is very strange, the emperor will make trouble again and again as soon as she leaves, maybe when the emperor comes, she will be able to get better." ”

This is quite a hint that Concubine Li is taking advantage of illness to fight for favor, and even the queen couldn't help frowning when she heard this: "Now that it is close to the end of the year, the emperor is naturally busy, and it is inevitable that there will be concubines who are not comprehensive." You are not new anymore, you should know how to be considerate. ”

After hearing this, everyone hurriedly got up and said, "Follow the queen's teachings." Seeing this, Qin Suyue nodded, and then said to Liu Decheng, the manager next to her: "Concubine Li is sick like this, and the palace is not at ease, so I have to ask her to show her face, you go and invite her." ”

said that it was invited, but the queen ordered that there was no disrespect, and within a cup of tea, someone returned to Concubine Li.

Yu Yanben was talking to Mrs. Yunping, and when he heard the words, he looked towards the door, but he was really shocked - but after a few days, Concubine Li seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and Ben's bright and gorgeous face also glowed with a haggard dark yellow. She was wearing a lotus-blue swastika cigarette cotton skirt, which was extremely delicate, but at this time, her expression was gloomy, and her watery eyes were now only empty eyes.

She saluted slowly with the support of her subordinates, and her voice was also weak, which made people's scalp tingle. The queen was also surprised, and hurriedly asked someone to look at the seat and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how did you become like this." ”

As soon as the queen asked like this, Yingzhu, the palace maid beside Concubine Li, couldn't help but sob: "Hui Niangniang, my little master is really pitiful, so that the water and rice taken by the sick can't enter, and I can't sleep at night." It's only been a few days, and the whole person has no energy. ”

When the queen heard her say this, she seemed to be moved by compassion, and sighed and said: "This palace didn't expect you to have such a deep love for the emperor, just today, this palace will persuade the emperor to go up and see you." ”

When Concubine Li heard the word emperor, her originally weak demeanor showed a faint smile: "Great, as soon as the emperor comes, the concubines won't be able to see those things." ”

The queen was confused when she heard this, and only said, "What is it?" ”

"Back to the queen, the concubine lives close to Concubine Li, and sometimes she can often be heard screaming like crazy in the middle of the night." Shen agreed, and couldn't help shrinking back, "It seems to say...... Ghosts. ”

Today's weather is already a little gloomy, and the clouds are thick, blocking the cool sunlight in winter, and the hall is quite gloomy. As soon as he opened his mouth, the hall was silent for a while, and the concubines looked at each other, all speechless. At this moment, I suddenly heard Qing Shunyi sneer, but her tone was disdainful: "It's a joke, I'm also in Yiliang Palace, why haven't I seen anything dirty." Don't you have a ghost in your heart, so you will be haunted by ghosts? ”

Deji has always been unaccustomed to seeing her rampant, and when she heard this, she only held an upside-down jade bead fan bone hairpin on her hair bun and said: "You can't talk about this, I don't know if it was Qing Shunyi, you did the sin, and it happened to be on the back of the eight-character light concubine." ”

"Jokes." Qing Shunyi quickly glanced at her when she heard this, "Even if I really do something, it won't be her turn to carry it." ”

"That's enough." The queen saw that they were arguing badly, and they were really unorthodox, so she couldn't help frowning, and pressed her temple and said, "Zi Bu is strange and confused, Concubine Li is just in bad spirits, don't talk nonsense here." ”

When the two of them heard this, they had no choice but to sneer, and at this moment, Concubine Li, who had been silent, suddenly screamed, and her eyes stared straight behind Zhao Xiurong, and her face turned pale for a while, as if she was greatly frightened. Her behavior was so weird, there were many people in the hall, and it also made people feel chills down their spines. Qing Shunyi, who was still commanding, was also a little timid, and forced displeasure: "What are you doing in a surprise." ”

"Shh Li Concubine put her finger on her lips and said no more. It was as if he had seen something unclean. There is no shortage of such gossip in the harem, and when the queen saw that she was in such a bad state, she was afraid that something would happen, so she didn't want to speak anymore, so she let everyone disperse hastily.

Yuyan walked out of the palace gate, and listened to the whispers of a few timid promises behind him. Shen agreed and sighed again and again while caressing his heart: "I was scared to death just now, you didn't see Concubine Li's eyes, you really saw something." ”

"Who says it's not," echoed a female voice, "Slaves and maids listen to those old ladies and grandmothers, and every year the end of the year, the unjust ghosts and wild ghosts in the palace will come out to ask for their lives." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, lest they would provoke something dirty if they continued to speak, so they stopped talking. Ning Shuyuan was standing beside Yu Yan, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but laugh: "Sister also believes in ghosts and gods." ”

Yu Yan only lowered his eyes slightly when he heard this: "I don't believe in the punishment of ghosts and gods, I only believe that people are unforgivable for their crimes." ”

Because of this bad luck in the morning, the concubines had no intention of chatting, so everyone hurried back to the palace. Yu Yan returned to the hall, and only waited for Su E to serve a cup of tea with a suitable temperature, and then leaned on the goose down pillow and said slowly: "Concubine Li has only been seen for a few days, how did she become like that." ”

When Su E lowered his head to refill the water for her, he deliberately lowered his voice and replied: "Niangniang, I'm afraid this matter is weird, Lord Fang, you know, you won't start lightly or heavily." ”

Yu Yan quietly took a sip of tea and sipped it, but there was a faint understanding in her heart. Su E was right, she just ordered Fang Haishan to use a few doses of medicine to make Concubine Li no longer unscrupulous, but she never had murderous intentions. The woman's time to be favored is not short, and she is not sure to provoke anyone, and she wants to get rid of her at this time. It was as if some clues had been born for a moment, but even if they were buried.

"Lord Fang also asked, since someone took the lead, the ...... of Niangniang's medicine"

"It's business as usual, and at the same time, people are paying attention to who is doing it in the shadows." Yu Yan closed her eyes slightly, revealing a little tiredness. Concubine Li's mental trance is probably also caused by drugs, but the means are so vicious that she has to be on guard. suddenly remembered what Dong Bi had said when the newcomers entered the palace two years ago, none of these new masters in the palace were fuel-efficient lamps. After all this time, the ones that should have floated were almost exposed. It's just that no matter how clever their means are, in the end, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. Therefore, even if Yu Yan sits on the position of Shuyi, he has to be on guard against the smart people in this palace at all times.
