Chapter 221: Filthy Palace

"After the child is gone, the crown princess is like a marionette these days, she eats it, feeds her medicine, and drinks it, but ...... But he didn't say a word for so many days. The slave is really afraid that if this continues, the princess will have a good one! As he spoke, the tears fell. The crown princess has always listened to you the most, you must persuade her well! ”

Yulan felt uncomfortable when she heard it: "Didn't the prince come to see her?" ”

Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment: "The prince only came to see it once on the first day of the accident, and he never came back since." "Not only has he never been here, but now he spends half of his time resting in Yuxia's side hall." Prince...... Not only is he not sad at all, but he seems happy. ”

The prince's position was in jeopardy, but now that there is a commotion, the emperor has temporarily extinguished his desire to abolish the throne, and the prince is of course happy.

Of course, the crown princess had a miscarriage, and the happiest thing was Yuxia, she couldn't wait to beat the gong and drum to tell the world. Green Branch gritted his teeth with hatred when he thought of her.

The green branch led Yulan into Yuxin's dormitory, and the room was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine. There are more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs standing like wood carvings and clay sculptures in the hall, and no one makes any sound, and the whole palace is empty and lonely like a tomb.

Yuxin was lying in the bed tent painted with gold embroidered phoenixes, dressed in splendor, but her eyes were empty and godless. When she saw someone enter the dormitory, she didn't even roll her eyes. It seems to be blind to the people who come. It's only been a few days, Yuxin's entire cheeks are sunken, and her whole person is so thin that she looks like she is dehydrated.

Green Branch walked over and whispered in her ear: "Niangniang, Mrs. Anguo has come to see you!" ”

Yu Xin's eyes rolled, and she finally had a hint of vitality, as if she had recognized Yu Lan for a long time: "Seventh sister, you are here!" After all, sisterhood is deep, and it would be good for Yu Xin to talk to Yu Lan, and Lu Zhi couldn't help but be a little happy when she saw it.

I'm afraid that Yuxin will hold everything in her heart, even if she cries, it will be better to soothe the depression in her heart. The green branch beckoned the eunuch who was waiting in the palace to quietly withdraw from the palace, and closed the door of the palace, allowing the two to speak alone.

Yulan almost didn't cry when she looked at her like this. But she still tried to hold back, when she cried, she must have caused Yuxin to cry with her, she had just had a miscarriage, but she couldn't cry.

Yulan sat beside her, held her hand, and choked up: "Good sister, I should have come a long time ago, I suffered from a cold a few days ago, and I was afraid that I would give you a sick child, so I didn't come to see you until today." ”

Yu Xin nodded: "I don't blame you!" ”

Yulan saw that the once tall and invincible eighth girl had become a living dead, and her heart was like a knife: "How did you become like this?" I know that you are sad that the child is gone, but you are still so young, you have to think more about the future! ”

Yu Xin smiled, although it was a smile, but the smile was very hideous and terrifying: "In the future? What future can I have? The doctor has already said that within five years, I will not be able to get pregnant again. Even in this life, I have no chance of getting pregnant! ”

Yulan can understand her, what she originally liked was King Zhao, who had no choice but to marry the prince for various reasons, endured how much humiliation and disgust, and finally conceived a child. I thought I could live on my children in the future, but now, there is still nothing!

You can't blame Yuxin for not being strong-willed and falling into despair! If she were herself, she might have to break down!

But the problem is that the harem is now a crisis step by step, there is no distinction between friend and foe, no one can help her, Yulan is outside the palace, the whip is beyond reach, if Yuxin refuses to cheer up, then she is very likely to die without knowing how to die.

Yulan anxiously grabbed her arm and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister knows that you are bitter in your heart, but you have to cheer up, the prince doesn't care about you, you have to take care of yourself, you are so decadent now, you will only make your relatives and enemies happy!" If you don't lift your spirits and manage the palace affairs properly, you won't even know how you died! ”

Yu Xin muttered: "Let them go, as far as I am now, it is worth nothing to die!" ”

Yulan persuaded a few more words, but Yuxin still looked depressed. Yulan couldn't help but be anxious and shouted, "Yang Yuxin, I misjudged you!" ”

How strong Yu Xin's self-esteem as a concubine is, no one knows it better than Yu Lan Zhilu. But when she heard such words, she almost fell on deaf ears. Yulan was also secretly surprised, she grabbed her shoulders hard, and used the most trick - the agitation method.

"It doesn't matter if you die, but have you ever thought about what they will do with Green Branch, Green Rui, and those grandmothers who came with you from the Yang family, those who are attached to you for survival? Are you going to watch them bury with you? If that's the case, all I can say is that they are blind and follow the wrong master! ”

"And ...... You are the daughter of the Yang family, as long as you are the crown princess, no one can do anything to the Yang family? But if you are finished, the Yang family will definitely be implicated, what will the old lady do when the time comes? What about the old lady old lady? They hurt you for so long, is that how you repay them? ”

Yulan felt Yuxin's shoulders tremble. Yu Xin also understands these things, but the blow of losing her child is too great, and she can't regain her excitement because of such a few words.

Yulan nodded her forehead: "Yang Yuxin, look at Yuxia again, her own mother died, and she herself was sent to the nunnery, and the situation was not much better than you at that time!" But she didn't admit defeat, no matter how bad things she did, the final result was that she appeared in the East Palace and shared a prince with you! ”

"You want to take a step back now, you want to leave everything behind! I can tell you what the result is! You can't get pregnant within five years, she will try her best to take away the management of the East Palace from you first, and then she will make every woman in the East Palace unable to give birth to children, until three years later, her filial piety period has passed, she will give birth to a child, and then she will step on you to take the throne! ”

Yulan stared at her eyes tightly and said, "Although Aunt Liu died because of me, the person she hates the most is always you!" Because she's jealous of you! Because you were born with everything! You don't have to do anything, there are countless people holding you and helping you! And she can only try her best to please the master, and what she gets is far like you! ”

"The reason why she tried her best, knowing that Lu Dao couldn't be the concubine, had to enter the East Palace was because she looked down on you, and she felt that you were reckless and deceitful. Very good! You give her a chance now, and it won't be long before she'll stand in front of you on her toes and spit in your face! ”

"If you're really a coward, you just wait for the day when she stomps your face into the mud!"

A flush welled up on Yuxin's face. "This slut! I'll never, I won't let her succeed! She grabbed the quilt between the bed tents as hard as she grabbed Yuxia's face.

Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, she finally used this extreme way to provoke Yuxin's anger and awaken her fighting spirit. Just like the person Yuxia hates the most is always Yuxin, the person Yuxin hates the most will always be Yuxia. She will defend her power, honor, and dignity like a fighter.

Yulan sat down and took a sip of tea, she had never said so many words at one time, and now her throat was still smoking. Yuxin has just had a miscarriage, and her emotions should not be excited, but Yulan has no choice, she can't enter the palace often, if she can't quickly arouse her fighting spirit, so depressed in her heart, her heart is like ashes, maybe it won't be long before Yuxin doesn't even have a small life.

Fighting poison with poison is really a last resort.

Fortunately, Yuxin finally listened. What to do next, there is no need for Yulan to teach her at all.

In the past five years, it is impossible for the prince not to have a son, no matter which concubine gives birth to a son, takes it to Yuxin's palace to raise, and gives a title to a concubine, it is a matter of course. As long as Yuxin raises the child safely, although she is not biological, she will have something to rely on in the future.

Seeing that it was lunch time, Yulan deliberately stayed to accompany Yuxin for a meal. After the meal, the two sisters discussed a few more words, and Lu Zhi was so happy that she almost cried when she saw that Yuxin finally came to life. I thought that Seventh Aunt and Grandma still had a way, no, the crown princess was persuaded by her again.

Yulan comforted: "The eighth sister is still young after all, and it is not impossible to have another child after five years." "Even if the child born by Yu Xin is younger than the children of other concubines, it is also a concubine, and the concubine is a lot higher than the concubine in terms of status.

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Yu Xin's mouth: "Even if I can give birth, I will never give birth to a child like that wolf-hearted again!" ”

The rain was silent. The prince's conduct is really hopeless!

After lingering in Yuqing Palace for another hour, Yulan reluctantly left here. With Yulan to accompany her to talk, Yuxin's mood has also improved a lot. Before leaving, Yuxin also said to her: "If you have time, come and see me, the whole mother's family, you are the only one who can talk to me." "The other sisters also came in to visit a few times, probably because of the difference in identity, seeing Yuxin all trembling, where is there still the intimacy between the original sisters.

Yulan naturally agreed, and instructed Luzhi to stare at Yuxin to take medicine every day, and to keep warm every day, and stared at Yuqing Palace with wide eyes, and if there was anything important that could not be solved, he would send someone to the Jin Palace's mansion to find her, and so on.

Until he returned to the palace, Yulan's heart was still pounding. After taking a nap for a while, a girl came in outside and spread the word that the general manager of Ma Fuma asked to see him.

Yulan was slightly stunned. Ma Fu is in charge of the affairs of the entire palace, in a sense, more important than her, the princess in the inner courtyard, and his busyness can also be described as a daily situation. What is it about seeing her?

It was not appropriate to meet Ma Fu in the main courtyard, so Yulan called open Jiaqing Hall and separated it with a bead curtain, she was inside, and Ma Fu was outside. I brought a few more girls, so it wouldn't be rude.

Ma Fu respectfully saluted her, and explained the intention with a few polite words, it turned out that a few days ago, Yulan handed over the money from the marriage to Ma Fu to take care of, and asked him to help him buy some properties, Ma Fu had already done it, and took a stack of land deeds and house deeds to Yulan to pay the errand.

Yulan didn't expect Ma Fu to get this done so quickly. is worthy of being the great butler of the Jin Palace, this kind of ability to act, I really want to praise it.

Yulan took the stack of house deeds from Xiaoyue's hand and looked at them carefully. Ma Fu stood respectfully to the side with his hands, waiting for her inquiry respectfully. Without the slightest support, Yulan was very satisfied with his attitude.

Yulan took a closer look. There are four granges, each of which is dozens of hectares large, six shops, rice shops, silk villages, pawnshops, the land is all good and good fields, paddy fields and dry fields, the feet of the shops are also very good, as long as the shopkeeper is not as stupid as a pig, people with normal IQ have a shop like this can always make a lot of money a year.

Yulan was deeply satisfied. After being satisfied, I was a little worried. Yulan still has a little idea of the price at this time, and the seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver she married can buy these things, to put it mildly, it is impossible at all, and it is almost double it! Isn't it that the chief manager is buying and selling under the banner of the palace, in order to curry favor with himself, the new princess?

But this kind of thing, if it gets big, the face of the palace will be lost.

Yulan didn't want to leave this kind of mercenary impression in front of the prince because of this matter.

"Mr. Ma!" Yulan said carefully.

Ma Fu took half a step forward and said respectfully: "What does the princess command?" ”

Yulan tried her best to make her words tactful: "First of all, it is really hard for you to buy such a family business for this princess in such a short time." Princess Ben is here to thank you solemnly. ”

Ma Fu hurriedly said humbly: "It is a blessing for a villain to be able to do things for the princess. Where do you dare to be a princess. ”

After the two finished politely, Yulan said: "It's just that these shops and granges are either in excellent locations, or the land is extremely fertile, and I am worried that seventy or eighty thousand silver is not enough...... It's just a trivial matter for me to buy some property, but the reputation of the palace is not bad, you see...... If there's anything wrong, I don't dare ask for these things! ”

Ma Fu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, he had almost no contact with this princess, but he heard that she was a rather benevolent master on weekdays, and he was very generous to his subordinates, with excellent upbringing, and kind people. Unexpectedly, she was quite familiar with general affairs, and her vision was so good, and she could see at a glance that these properties did not match her dowry money. The most commendable thing is that she has a long-term vision and a very big picture, and if she changes her eyelids, she is not crazy to exchange so much money for so many industries, it is all her own dowry, and it is her private property!

Ma Fu couldn't help but glance at the princess.

He said in a deep voice; "The princess is very worried! It's all because the villain didn't handle things well and didn't bring the contract to you in one go, which made the princess misunderstand. Every field and every shop here is bought at a reasonable market price, and there is no problem with the government guaranteeing it. The villain is also a half-old errand person, and he definitely does not dare to take the face of the palace to take risks, princess, you can rest assured! ”

Ma Fu swore by it. Yulan couldn't help but wonder: "What about the deficit of these silvers?" ”

Ma Fu said with a smile: "It was the prince who asked the villain to withdraw tens of thousands of taels of silver from the general ledger to make up for the shortfall." The little one thinks that the prince has already informed you, and the prince is busy with military affairs, and it is possible to forget it for a while! ”

"Huh?" Yulan subconsciously asked: "What is the prince for...... "Suddenly give me so much money?"

Ma Fu smiled and said nothing, what is strange about this, the prince has money, hey give it to whomever he wants, he likes you so much, what is it to give you some money! Isn't the prince this kind of person, if you like it, you can't wait to hold her to the sky; If you don't like it, step on the mud and stomp a few more times!

What's more, tens of thousands of silver is a large amount in your mind, and the prince doesn't look at it at all!

Yulan was still not very relieved, so he asked Ma Fu to take all the deeds and look through them one by one, and saw that the standard price in it was really very fair, so he had to believe it. She roughly calculated, in these industries, the prince added at least 80,000 taels of silver to her.

Eighty thousand taels of silver, piled together can form a mountain. The so-called reactive power is not allowed to be punished, and Yulan feels a lot of pressure.

When Ye Yichen came back in the evening, he saw his little wife working on a stack of house deeds and land deeds, and her frowning look was very cute. I couldn't help but smile and say, "Look at you little money fan, this idea makes you happy like this!" ”

Yulan raised her head and thought to herself, Lord Wang, which eye of yours is happy to see me!

Yulan trembled the bills worth more than 100,000 silver in his hand and asked, "Lord Wang, what do you mean by this?" Good and decent, why did you suddenly give me so much money? "Just ask, what is your purpose? Hurry up and recruit from the truth!

The prince looked at her little nervousness, and suddenly smiled: "Just this bit of silver is worth your nervousness like this?" I'll give you more if I'm happy, what's this! If you don't want to go...... the prince quietly lowered his voice: "You can compensate me a little more when you go to bed at night, and you can give birth to a son quickly." ”

That night, Yulan was really hard working and very cooperative in bed, and afterwards Ye Yichen smiled in the quilt for a quarter of an hour with his head down: "You little greedy for money!" ”

Yulan's face turned red with shame, and she picked up the pillow to hit Ye Yichen.

On the other hand, he was still complaining in his heart: The magic of money is so huge, even my sister has been bought!

The two quarreled for a long time, and Yulan suddenly recalled one thing, the general ledger of the palace can casually allocate 80,000 silver of liquid funds, so how much money is on the books of the palace?

Yulan tore off the quilt covering Ye Yichen's face, and asked him with a serious face: "Ye Yichen, tell me, how much money do we have in the palace?" "She is not favored by Ye Yichen now, her courage is getting bigger and bigger, she herself has forgotten when it started, and where there is no one, she dares to call Ye Yichen's name directly.

Ye Yichen saw Yulan's eyes shining, like a curious cat. couldn't help laughing and said: "These mundane things, where do I know the Dao, if you want to know the Dao, it's simple, ask Ma Fu to bring the general account in the house to show you, it's over!" ”

Chengqian Palace.

The night was already very deep, and only a few red candles were burning in the main hall, which could only illuminate a few areas, and the main hall was very dim.

Concubine Xiao sat on the throne and wore very neat makeup. These days, she has been snubbed by the emperor, and the East and West Zodiac Palaces have been rumored, but Concubine Xiao has been calm and constant.

At least, her position has not been reduced, the emperor is already a person of this age, and it doesn't matter whether she loves Concubine Xiao or not. As long as she is still the deputy queen of the harem, and she has the power to associate the six palaces, as long as her son is still the emperor's favorite King Zhao, there is nothing to fear.

The eldest aunt pushed the door and walked in, stood beside Concubine Hui, and said in a low voice: "Qi Yu Niangniang, that little hoof, finally took the bait!" There was excitement in his tone that could not be concealed.

Concubine Xiao was also happy in her heart, but she didn't bring it out on her face. Just faintly authentic; "It's not in vain our hard work."

The eldest aunt stepped forward to help her up, and Concubine Xiao had a cold smile on the corner of her mouth: "Let's go, let's also go to Xianfu Palace to see what kind of ugly things the emperor is doing now!" ”

It is advisable for noble people to live in Xianfu Palace. Because he is not the master of the first palace, Yigui is not qualified to live in the main hall, but can only live in the side hall. The emperor has been very fond of her recently, so he has issued orders one after another to ask people to renovate the remote Xianfu Palace and move the Yigui people to the Xianfu Palace.

Because of the remote location of Xianfu Palace, there is naturally no main mother. Therefore, although Yi Guiren still lives in the side hall, she doesn't need to look at other people's faces, which shows that the emperor's love for her is heavy.

Concubine Xiao led a large group of palace maids and eunuchs into Xianfu Palace, and four palace maids and two eunuchs inspected in front of the small Buddha hall next to the side hall. Seeing Concubine Xiao was all stupid.

They are waiting for Yi Guiren personally, and naturally know that the noble man is now cheating with the guards in the small Buddha hall inside, and the Yi noble people dare not be in the palace and the guards OX, so they chose the small Buddha Hall, thinking that people don't know the ghosts, but somehow they are all known by Concubine Xiao.

And Concubine Xiao happened to come over at this time, and brought a large number of people, who looked menacing, and the purpose was self-evident, that is, to catch the traitor! As long as this kind of thing is publicized, these people will be the end of Ling Chi's execution, how can they not be afraid!

These people fell to their knees and trembled: "Mother! ”

Concubine Xiao didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Tie it up, plug your mouth, don't let them alarm others!" ”

Several eunuchs with strong waists rushed up, tied them up by dividing them by two, and gagged them with rags.

Concubine Xiao signaled, and the two eunuchs stepped forward to push the door of the small Buddha hall hard, but they didn't push it open all at once. Someone reported back: "Mother, someone locked it inside!" ”

Concubine Xiao said lightly: "Smash the door open!" "It's a remote place, and I'm not afraid of being known. Several powerful eunuchs stepped forward and smashed the door open in a few strokes.

The eldest aunt carried the lantern and took the lead in entering, the area of the small Buddha hall was not large, and there were a few men's and women's clothes scattered on the ground, which could not hide anyone, and the shadows of the two people behind the curtain were revealed.

The eldest aunt stepped forward and tore down the veil, only to see that there was a man and a woman hidden behind, the woman was naturally a noble person who had been favored by the emperor recently, and the man was muscular and muscular, looking like a guard.

Both of them were □, not an inch, under the light of the eldest aunt's light, the man's eyes had a light of unknown meaning, but Yi Guiren let out a scream. The expression of horror was vividly engraved on her face.

Concubine Xiao's cold voice sounded: "In this kind of place, you are filthy in the palace, and you have an affair with the guards, you are a nobleman, aren't you afraid of the Buddha condemning you?" ”
