When Qin Yuan slowly came to Mu Xuan's dormitory, she saw the queen looking at the bed with a little worry, Qin Yuan hurriedly handed the hand warmer to Yuru, and said with a handrail, "The concubine asks the queen mother for peace, and the queen mother has a long life." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she realized that Qin Yuan was coming, and said with a slight bow, "Calm down, come and see Mu Xuan, he has a fever." When Qin Yuan heard this, she was shocked, and hurriedly got up and walked to the bed, only to see Mu Xuan covered with a thick quilt and his cheeks flushed.

Qin Yuan was very worried for a while, and hurriedly took Mu Xuan's little hand, frowned and called anxiously, "Xuan'er......"

I saw Mu Xuan open his eyes tiredly, looked at Qin Yuan and smiled, and said in a weak voice, "Mother." ”

"Xuan'er, tell your mother, where are you uncomfortable?"

"Mother, my son-in-law is so hot, my head hurts."

Qin Yuan's teeth tightened for a while, her eyes showed a little sadness, and she whispered comfortingly, "Xuan'er, my mother is here, you can sleep for a while and wake up." Mu Xuan nodded obediently, and then closed his eyes.

The Queen Mother on the side couldn't help but sigh lightly and comforted, "Yuan'er, don't worry, the mourning family has already sent the imperial doctor over, and it seems that she has a high fever." Wanxi, who was on the side, pouted for a while and said, "It's all the prince's brother, if it weren't for the prince's troubles for his sons and the fourth emperor's brother, how could the fourth emperor's brother have a fever?" It's too cold outside. ”

Qin Yuan turned her head for a while, and said to the Queen Mother with anger in her eyes, "Queen Mother, although the crown prince is the head of the imperial heir, he can't treat his younger brothers and sisters like this." The Queen Mother nodded heavily, and said with a little displeasure, "The mourning family has heard Wanxi say, hum, what kind of prince is really raised by what kind of mother." ”

Qin Yuan then looked at Wanxi again, and said a little anxiously, "If it is only difficult for Xuan'er alone, it will be fine, what grievances have you suffered, and there are concubines, but Wanxi is ......", Qin Yuan was a little speechless for a while, and then said after a pause, "Sister Yi left early, does the prince treat Wanxi as a sister when he does this?" ”

The Queen Mother's face was a little solemn for a while, and she said slowly, "Now the court and the harem have a particularly deep remark on Concubine Wan, take advantage of this opportunity, for now, you just have to deal with Concubine Wan, as for the prince, just let it go, if it goes on like this, it will be beneficial to you and harmless, do you understand the meaning of mourning?" ”

Qin Yuan was slightly stunned for a while, thinking carefully about the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, and suddenly realized that the prince is the heir of the emperor, if Qin Yuan stretches out his hand to the prince, let others know the truth, and will only laugh at Qin Yuan for being too much, after all, she is now the head of the harem and the prince's mother and concubine, it is better to continue to let the prince go, in this way, first, it seems that Qin Yuan is generous, and secondly, in the future, the emperor will not know that Prince Lu Dao is so reckless, and he will definitely consider it.

Qin Yuan suddenly smiled softly, "Or the Queen Mother, you are far-sighted, and the concubine is really ignorant." The Queen Mother breathed a deep sigh of relief, "The emperor still doesn't know that Mu Xuan is sick, you can go to the imperial study." Qin Yuan bowed slightly, then appeased Wanxi a few words, then got up and walked out of the dormitory, heading in the direction of the imperial study.

At this time, in the Yixiang Palace, Concubine Wan sat on the soft couch with a solemn expression, and the rumors of the previous dynasty and the harem had already made her sad and sad.

At this time, Xiuzhu walked in from the outside, dusted off the snow on her body, and slowly stepped forward, "Master, the slave is back." Concubine Wan opened her mouth quietly, "What have you found out?" ”

"Master, in the early days of the dynasty today, there were ministers who pleaded with the emperor to set up a new queen on the grounds of 'the harem cannot be without a queen for a day', and several ministers recommended Hui Guifei, Lord Chen and Lord Sui have already obstructed the matter of the four princes participating in tea, how do you know that the Imperial Doctor has moved out of the rumors of the master, Lord Chen and Lord Sui have fought a few words, but the Imperial Doctor is a high-ranking official in the court after all, and even the prime minister has recommended Hui Guifei, how can Lord Chen and Lord Sui beat them?"

Concubine Wan's face deepened for a while, "Didn't General Xue say anything?" ”

"The slave inquired, General Xue didn't say a word from beginning to end, and it was strange to say, General Xue was the father of Concubine Hui, and her eldest brother was also an official in the court, so how could he ignore this matter."

Concubine Wan suddenly snorted coldly, "General Xue has secretly arranged it, this palace suspects that this matter was done by Concubine Hui's slut, as for the imperial court, who else can have this ability except General Xue?" Xiuzhu thought for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Master, Concubine Hui is going to be ruthless to you this time, in case your identity is ......", Xiuzhu didn't dare to say it for a while.

Concubine Wan's face suddenly became indignant, and she said in a cold tone, "Impossible! The Queen Mother is just scaring and scaring the palace, how can the royal family consider the consequences. ”

"Master, right now, all the ministers are discussing national affairs with the emperor in the imperial study, and it is hard to guarantee that this matter will be mentioned in a while, and the slave maid has already arranged eyeliner."

Concubine Wan thought for a moment, and then said, "You tell Lord Chen and Lord Sui that you don't have to protect the palace anymore, and you can quickly propose other concubines to be the queen." Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, "Master, do you really want to do this?" How did Concubine Wan suddenly become furious, "Is there any other way in this palace right now?!" As long as it is not her Hui Guifei ascending to the back seat, the other people have their own way to deal with it! Xiuzhu hurriedly responded.

Suddenly, I heard that the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and I saw the crown prince Mu Ling walking in quickly, stepped forward and saluted, "Erchen see mother." Concubine Wan suddenly smiled, "Ling'er, why are you here at this hour?" I saw that the prince's face was a little serious, and he said solemnly, "Mother, my son has something to ask you." ”

Concubine Wan smiled slowly, "Okay, let's sit down and talk about something." The crown prince immediately sat opposite Qin Yuan and said, "Mother, are there any rumors about you in the front court and the harem?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Wan was taken aback, thinking about how things had made Mu Ling know, and then whispered, "Ling'er, who did you listen to about this?" The prince suddenly said angrily, "Today, Erchen met Mu Xuan and Wanxi in the Imperial Garden, and I wanted to make it difficult for the two of them to be angry for their mother, but how did I know that Concubine Yi arrived by chance and told Erchen about it." ”

Concubine Wan was angry for a while, and said in a high-pitched tone, "It's just nonsense!" Ling'er, don't listen to Hui Guifei's nonsense, that's Hui Guifei lying to you. The prince was silent for a while, and slowly opened his mouth, "Mother, the ministers have already inquired, and now there are indeed rumors about you in the palace." ”

"Ling'er, you heard my mother say that there are indeed rumors about my mother in the front dynasty and the harem at the moment, but those are all fake, they are all planned by Concubine Hui to slander her mother, her purpose is to prevent her mother from ascending to the throne, Ling'er, you don't have to meddle in your mother's affairs in the future, you just have to be your prince, study hard, and inherit the unification in the future, and your mother will survive it."

The prince nodded firmly, "Erchen doesn't believe in those rumors, mother, don't worry, when Erchen ascends the throne, he will definitely not let Concubine Hui go, you have been wronged for all these years, and then Erchen will give you back!" Concubine Wan nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, mother is happy that you can have this thought, Concubine Hui must be making things difficult for you today, right?" ”

The crown prince shook his head, "It's just that she was a little arrogant to her sons, so that there was a Xi Chang who stepped forward to obstruct her, is she very close to Concubine Hui?" Concubine Wan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiuzhu on the side, Xiuzhu naturally knew what Lu Dao meant, and then said, "Master, Xi Changzai is the concubine of the imperial doctor, and she lives in our Yixiang Palace." ”

Concubine Wan's eyes became indifferent for a while, and she said clearly, "Xiuzhu, I'll leave it to you when Xi Chang is here." Xiuzhu hurriedly bowed her head, and then left the dormitory in a hurry.
