458: Covert trading
The six princes were reprimanded by Emperor Jianguang, and Concubine Hui was demoted, all of which made Cinnabar feel uneasy.
Emperor Jianguang's personality seems to be getting more and more difficult to understand.
One moment he could drink the medicine sent by the imperial concubine with a smile, and the next moment he could beat the imperial concubine.
His most distressed imperial concubines are like this, and the situation of outsiders is even more terrifying.
Emperor Jianguang thought about torturing people in various ways, and Qin Xian finally couldn't stand it anymore, and began to discuss with Cinnabar to make a move.
Emperor Jianguang injured the imperial concubine, so Xia Ruan also went to the palace.
She was worried about the imperial concubine.
Xia Ruan didn't expect that the woman with a good face in the past now has a lot of silver threads on her head.
In the past, the graceful and luxurious people, except for the gold and silver burdens on their bodies, did not have half of the agility in their eyes. All that remains, there is only deep exhaustion.
"You're here?" The imperial concubine smiled and asked people to prepare tea, and said with a smile, "Come and talk to me." ”
The people around thought that the imperial concubine was Emperor Jianguang's favorite concubine, and she had been rising all the way from a noble person to the current imperial concubine. It's just that when Xia Ruan looked at the bruises on the imperial concubine's face, he knew what it meant to be a companion like a tiger.
Emperor Jianguang can even give such a heavy hand to a woman who has accompanied him for many years, let alone an outsider?
Seeing that Xia Ruan didn't speak, the imperial concubine turned around and said, "Since you are here today, this palace will let you see the crane." ”
As he spoke, he said to Mama Zhu, "Go and bring the Seven Princes." ”
Mama Zhu nodded and retreated.
The palace could only go down to Xia Ruan and the imperial concubine, and she handed the hot tea to Xia Ruan at this time. The frightened Xia Ruan hurriedly lowered his body, "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, you are tormenting the courtiers." ”
"Ah Ruan, are you going to see this palace too?" The imperial concubine helped Xia Ruan up, still smiling and said, "You entered the palace today to visit the palace, and the palace knows all these intentions." There are too many hypocrisies in this palace, and this palace doesn't want you to be like this. ”
After speaking, the imperial concubine stepped back a little and put the teacup on the table.
An Xuemei thought. She never regretted entering the palace. Even if this man has nothing more than a concubine, she will not change her mind.
But now, she regretted it.
All the grievances she has suffered over the years are because she loves this man. In this icy palace. The most ridiculous thing is the greed for love.
Despair. It's coming.
She waited for a while before saying to Xia Ruan again. "Don't worry about this palace, this palace will carry it."
An Xuemei hadn't let go of her guard and talked to someone like this for a long time, and her expression looked very relaxed.
"Imperial Concubine Niangniang." Xia Ruan thought for a moment. Only then did he whisper, "The courtiers asked Du Ruo to prescribe some prescriptions, these are all things to nourish the body, you remember to use them from the imperial concubine." ”
The imperial concubine raised her head and exhaled a deep breath, "Do you know why this palace met you?" ”
Xia Ruan's face was surprised, a little puzzled.
The imperial concubine stood up and went to the dresser to look for something for a while before turning around and walking in front of Xia Ruan, "Take it." ”
The thing handed over by the imperial concubine was the jade pendant that had been with the imperial concubine for many years.
This jade pendant, she only saw an identical one on her husband a few days ago.
Once, the imperial concubine told her that this jade pendant could make her feel more at ease than the phoenix seal. Therefore, for many years, the imperial concubine has worn the jade pendant on her body and never wants to leave her body. But at this time, the imperial concubine wanted to send the jade pendant to her.
This surprised Xia Ruan.
She didn't know what this jade pendant could be used for, but it was definitely something extremely precious.
The imperial concubine must ask for her.
"Courtier, don't dare to ask for it." Xia Ruan shook her head and refused, she was silent for a while before she said slowly, "It's too precious." ”
The imperial concubine 'clicked' in her heart, as if she had lost something to rely on, and her face was as pale as paper.
At this time, Mama Zhu was preaching outside, "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, the Seventh Prince is here." ”
"Let him in." The imperial concubine put the jade pendant back into her cuffs and did not look at Xia Ruan again.
At this time, Qin He, the seventh prince, walked in from outside the palace.
Qin He, who is just two years old, has a round body, as cute as a rice ball. His eyes were as clear as water, and he couldn't see any filth.
Such a child is very cute.
Xia Ruan got up and saluted Qin He, "The courtiers have seen the Seven Princes. ”
"Who are you?" Qin He was like a little adult, with his hands behind his back. But because the body is too bloated, it is very difficult to do this movement.
The imperial concubine interrupted Qin He's words, stretched out her hand and said, "He'er come over and let the mother concubine hug you." ”
The child, who looked like a little adult just now, revealed his original form in the next moment. He cheered and ran to the imperial concubine, his tender white face was full of joy, "I can't let my mother hold ......"
The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a helpless smile, "Why didn't He'er let the mother concubine hug her?" ”
Qin He showed a shy look, "Concubine Turbidity said that the mother concubine is sick now and can't be tired." Hugging cranes, very tired. ”
It was an ordinary sentence that could not be more ordinary, but it came out of the mouth of a two-year-old child, but it made the corners of the imperial concubine's eyes a little sour.
If she didn't insist on entering the palace back then, would it be more peaceful for this child's life?
Qin He likes Concubine Turbidity very much, and often takes the little eunuch to Concubine Turbidity's courtyard. Over the years, Concubine Xun's eyes have become worse and worse, but she still likes embroidery. Qin He watched from the side, and occasionally pestered Concubine Xun to ask for pastries.
The imperial concubine thought that this was the greedy nature of children, but when he didn't want other concubines to give him things, he didn't like it at all.
Later, the imperial concubine couldn't help but ask Qin He, "Crane likes Concubine Turbidity?" ”
"I like it." Qin He spoke very fluently like a child with early wisdom, "Pastries, delicious." ”
Concubine Xun also seemed to like Qin He very much, and every time Qin He came over, she would personally make pastries for Qin He. Many people around told her to be careful, saying that Concubine Xun would poison Qin He's pastries. But she shook her head, because in this palace, the only person who can make her feel at ease is Concubine Xun.
If it was once upon a time. Perhaps Emperor Jianguang...... In the past, she was still willing to believe in Emperor Jianguang.
But since the loss of her first child, she has become less and less interested in these things.
The trust in Emperor Jianguang is like sand in her hand, the more she wants to hold it, the faster it will drain.
Later, Emperor Jianguang faded in her heart, so faint that she didn't want to think about anything.
Seeing that the imperial concubine did not speak, Qin He was silent for a while, and stretched out his hand to hug the imperial concubine's arm. "Mother. Mother ...... When the crane grows up, hug you. ”
When the imperial concubine heard this, she showed a bleak smile, "Okay." ”
She followed Emperor Jianguang these days. I also found the gentle man from the past. Now his personality has changed greatly. If she's wrong. Or if you don't say it, you will be beaten by Emperor Jianguang. Last time, a noble man who had just entered the palace. was strangled to death by Emperor Jianguang.
Later, she learned that Emperor Jianguang would be angry because this noble man said that she wanted to see him.
An ordinary love sentence made Emperor Jianguang angry.
The imperial concubine knows that many people envy her position, but only she knows the sadness of this position.
Fortunately, Qin He is very well-behaved.
Once Concubine Xun sent Qin He back, and when she saw that she was covered in scars, she comforted, "Boil." ”
At that time, she smiled and nodded, "For the sake of the child, Hongu will be alive." ”
The more glamorous the life is on the outside, the more cumbersome and dirty it is.
"He'er, this is Mrs. Chang'an." The imperial concubine held Qin He's hand, "You have to call my sister." ”
Qin He reacted quickly, and called sweetly at Xia Ruan, "Sister." ”
Xia Ruan stood up from the chair in shock, "Imperial concubine, seventh prince, is this a tormenting courtier?" ”
"Tormented?" Qin He looked at Xia Ruan with some puzzlement and blinked, "Sister, what does this mean." ”
The imperial concubine stroked Qin He's hair with a smile, and when she saw that Xia Ruan didn't speak, she instructed Qin He a few more words, took some pastries, and asked Mama Zhu to send Qin He out.
After Qin He left, the imperial concubine took out the jade pendant again, "Did you see him?" Very sensible child. ”
"The Seventh Prince is very good." Xia Ruan's doubts in her heart became bigger and bigger, she didn't know why the imperial concubine did this.
Qin He's appearance is very clever, like her younger brother.
The imperial concubine pondered for a moment before she said, "Bring this jade pendant to the Marquis of Chang'an, and ask him to help me transfer it to the four princes." Tell the four princes that the palace ...... Hongu just wants the crane to live well. ”
This is her, last thought.
Xia Ruan raised his head and looked at the imperial concubine, "Imperial concubine Niangniang......"
"There's no time, there's no time." The imperial concubine's hands trembled violently, "This palace doesn't have time to wait like this anymore." The six princes and Hui nobles were reprimanded by the emperor, and they asked the Taoist priest to say many things to the emperor that should not be said. At night, Bengong unintentionally got up several times, and saw the emperor staring and putting his hand on Bengong's neck. Hongu is afraid of ...... It's nothing that Hongu is dead, but He'er, he's still so young...... Hongu is afraid. ”
The imperial concubine's words made Xia Ruan not know how to speak.
The Taoist priest beside Emperor Jianguang was the person of the Six Princes.
Although they can't help the six princes speak, they can say that the imperial concubine is not. In the past, Emperor Jianguang, who favored the imperial concubine, no longer remembered the past love in order to smoothly 'ascend to immortals'.
Perhaps, he wanted to kill the imperial concubine.
They didn't know what the Taoist priest and Emperor Jianguang said, but they could see that after Emperor Jianguang recovered from his illness, his sanity became more and more unclear. Emperor Jianguang, who used to take care of his manners, has completely turned into a bloodthirsty demon, and he even wants to kill people who have been in bed with him for many years.
As if she had thought of something, the imperial concubine knelt in front of Xia Ruan, "Please, please help this palace." The only person this palace can trust now is you...... Please. ”
She used to live to settle down.
Maybe at that time, she still had a little selfish desire in her heart, because she was still attached to the man next to the pillow.
But time seemed to play a joke on her, and all her expectations turned to despair.
The way she wanted to keep Qin He alive was to hand over what she was holding.
Only in this way, maybe Qin He can still have a chance to live.
She and the six princes have long been feuding, and now there are only four princes who can take refuge.
Her crane was too young to do anything.
If the fourth prince was afraid that Qin He would pose any threat to him in the future, she could even ...... Cut off everything that Qin He could bring a threat to the four princes.
Including, so that Qin He will never have an heir. (To be continued......)
