Chapter Twenty-Five: The Past
"Yun Lan didn't suffer less from Hua Xiyue at the beginning," Ming Feng took a sip of tea, "Yun Lan was not favored in her family, but she was not tortured to death by her stepmother, the eldest lady, and she also has some skills, what Yun Lan is best at is to show weakness, pretend to be weak, let the enemy relax her vigilance, and then she shows her minions again." Bite you hard and fight for a fatal blow. ”
It is impossible for Yunlan to let go of Hua Xiyue, because she is really pampered, Yunlan does not have Hua Xiyue's illustrious family background, her father is just a scholar, and she has no family protection, and even her appearance is inferior to her by two points.
In terms of appearance alone, the beauty of the harem is more amazing than Hua Xiyue, not nothing, Yunlan has also started from this aspect, but the first emperor just spoiled her, as if she was fascinated by something, she was always arrogant and excessive, even if she suppressed the concubines and abused the slaves, the emperor at that time also turned a blind eye, and Hua Xiyue really enjoyed the favor.
Even the queen at that time was more or less neglected.
"Yun Lan knows that the emperor is very fond of Hua Xiyue, and after all, he has changed his strategy."
She started with the prince, the sixth prince of the year, she couldn't eat walnuts since she was a child, and Hua Xiyue went to visit the prince at that time, and what she brought was a bowl of porridge, which passed through the hands of others halfway, which led to her future ending.
Hua Xiyue is very good to her children, but for the princes born to other concubines, although she did not do anything poisonous, she was also tortured more or less by her - when the sixth prince was eight years old, she found a reason to kneel in the snow for two hours.
Eating walnuts by mistake, at that time, the maids in the palace of Li Concubine were all transferred away in the name of Hua Xiyue, those who bought it out, and those who were transferred away, at that time, Li Concubine was visiting the imperial garden with Yunlan, and in the entire Jinglan Palace, no one found the strangeness of the six princes.
I don't know who closed the ventilation window, and whose hand covered the mouth and nose of the child who was already breathless.
The twelve-year-old little prince died in the cold and biting winter of that year.
The prince is angry, the emperor is angry, the concubine is crazy, the concubine is confined, Yunlan is gentle and happy all night in the township, in Ming Feng's memory, there is no color in that winter, but it is extremely cold.
"The emperor is angry again, and he is not willing to put Hua Xiyue into the cold palace, but he just confined her in the Xihua Palace, she is not the first one Yunlan has dealt with, but Hua Xiyue is dead, and Yunlan has no one who really wins."
In the Xihua Palace, the dagger Bai Aya poisoned the wine Yunlan Concubine.
"How is Concubine Mu lately?"
Hua Xiyue sneered, but she didn't know who she was mocking, she seemed to be the arrogant and pampered Hua Xiyue, and she didn't become embarrassed and lonely because of all the things during this time.
This kind of pride is in the bones, even in danger, it is just indifferent to danger, such a flower and moon make Yunlan jealous.
Why? She is a high eldest lady, but she can only walk in the mud, as soon as she enters the palace, she is the treasure that the emperor holds in the palm of her hand, but she can only live carefully step by step, and also prevent all kinds of sudden attacks to hurt the malice, it is called such a dangerous situation, Hua Xiyue can be safe, as if nothing happened, continue her high, and herself, but it seems that she will never be able to win her.
What a curse.
"I'm fine, don't you know?"
Yun Lan smiled, she was the winner, no matter what, she was the winner.
"The concubine really lifted me, how can I know the situation of the concubine?"
Hua Xiyue got up and fiddled with the withered flower, "I have to say, I really didn't expect this trick, what I didn't expect was not that I would be framed so far, but that it was you who planned all this." ”
Yun Lan didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly, waiting for her next step.
Hua Xiyue smiled, "You have a principle, you will never use children as bargaining chips, I really didn't expect that in order to deal with me, all your principles and bottom lines have all become decorations, how lucky I am!" ”
Yun Lan didn't laugh, Ming Feng was by her side, but he couldn't guess what this woman was thinking, in fact, he didn't know what Yun Lan was thinking when she broke through the offline line for the sake of a harem right.
Hua Xiyue approached her, she was smiling all the time, "Why, is it the sixth prince?" ”
Yun Lan's face seemed to freeze for a moment, but Hua Xiyue didn't seem to see it.
"Let me guess," Hua Xiyue stroked the strings on the side, "I remember that a year ago, your precious son Chenglan fell into the water, contracted the wind cold, and fell ill, was it done by the sixth prince, right?" ”
Yun Lan just looked at her and didn't say anything, but if you pay close attention, you will find that the corners of her mouth seem to twitch.
"You didn't care about and appease Concubine Li on the surface, the sixth prince obviously did it on purpose, otherwise as early as after your son fell into the water, he would have called for someone to rescue him, instead of running away directly, but you suppressed this matter, and just said to the emperor that the two children were careless, Yunlan, what was your mood like at that time?"
Yun Lan looked at her expressionlessly, she didn't expect that Hua Xiyue, who had been spoiled and spoiled, would also gain insight into people's hearts, "Guess what?" ”
Hua Xiyue laughed, sat down again, propped her chin, and looked at her with interest: "I guess, what you thought at the time must be that you dead boy will wait for me, sooner or later one day I will take your life to avenge my son's falling water, right?" ”
Hua Xiyue: "So when you think of using this way to deal with me, your first choice is the Six Princes, right?" ”
"Nonsense! Don't think of everyone like you! ”
"Oh!" Hua Xiyue looked surprised, "Then tell me, what's the reason?" ”
Yun Lan moved her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, and Hua Xiyue smiled even more happily.
"Yunlan, Yunlan, you are much more ruthless than me, I am unhappy, I bully, I am unhappy, I show it on this face, I will never make a stumbling block behind my back, you are different, you are a poisonous snake, a sudden bite and fatal, I have to say, this palace, I really admire."
Yun Lan sneered: "Dying person, what else do you want to say, say it as soon as you can." ”
Hua Xiyue didn't seem to care whether she was alive or dead, and continued to talk about her reasoning: "You know that the emperor will not give up on me easily, between women and women, all the fights, you can't fight me, and you can't provoke the relationship between me and the emperor, he spoils me and helps me not to help, and it is precisely for this reason that you can be so ruthless to me, right?" ”
Of course, no one will answer these questions, Hua Xiyue smiled to herself for a while, and then looked up at her: "What now?" I'm going to kill myself, am I? ”
Hua Xiyue will not die, she will turn over sooner or later, whether it is the power of her mother's family or the emperor's current biased attitude, Yunlan knows it.
"My own life, when you blamed me for these things that day, I didn't care anymore, I am not a person who can't afford to lose," Hua Xiyue said softly: "I can give you another gift to please him." ”
"What?" Regarding Hua Xiyue's attitude, Yun Lan has not yet reacted.
"After my death, Chengyu and Bai Yuan were raised by you, and the emperor has long heard about all the difficulties I made to you before, isn't this a good opportunity to erect a model of virtuous and virtuous virtue?"
Yun Lan looked at her with a look of surprise and disbelief.
Hua Xiyue continued to take care of herself: "Don't you think that if I am imprisoned here, I will not be able to get in touch with the outside world and become deaf and dumb, I have a personal grandmother, who has been following since I was a child, as long as I am willing, how I died, how I was framed, it will be transmitted to the Mu family word for word, to the ears of my father and brother, compared to our family, what is your family?" Oh, by the way, it's not impossible to reach the emperor's ears by the way, I want to see what his reaction will be under the Jiuquan Prefecture. ”
"You-"
"You don't have to be angry, I didn't say I was going to do it, it's not easy for you to climb this far, I'm already dying, so why destroy it? I want you to swear that while you raise Chengyu and Bai Yuan, and use them to win the emperor's favor, you must not treat them badly or abuse them, and you must raise them peacefully, and no one can touch their cold hair. ”
At this time, Hua Xiyue fell into Yun Lan's eyes, and suddenly she was different from the Hua Xiyue she knew before.
At this time, she became not a concubine, nor a lady of Mufu, but just a mother.
"How can I trust you? What kind of mamma is that, maybe you made it up? Why should I trust you and do what you say? ”
Hua Xiyue shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "I didn't ask you to agree, besides," she looked at her with a sympathetic expression, "There is really one less grandma by my side, the one who slapped you several times before." ”
Hua Xiyue's expression of "Aren't you confused by me" made Yunlan almost rush up and strangle her.
Hua Xiyue was proud all her life and never compromised until she died.
She is not a pure person, she was angry with Yunlan before she died, and then drank the glass of wine cleanly, and when she fell, she seemed to see her little princess covering her little prince's eyes, crying, looking at this side,
Don't cry, the mother is gone, I'm very happy.
I'm sorry, but the mother lost.
The concubine can no longer be with you.
But it doesn't matter, mother, I have tried my best to arrange a place for you, and my uncle will also help you take care of you, and my uncle is very capable.
Sorry, can't...... I'm with you.
Your Majesty, that promise, Shizuki, I'm sorry.
When Yunlan came out, she leaned against the wall and gasped for breath - what Hua Xiyue analyzed before her death turned out to be all right.
Ming Feng helped her with a worried expression - no one knew if he was really worried in his heart.
After Yun Lan completely calmed down, she waved her hand at Ming Feng, and in that moment, Ming Feng's body stiffened, and he looked down at the knife inserted in his abdomen, which was a little incredible.
He heard the woman with tears in her eyes, and said to him—
"Kaede, I'm sorry."
Fortunately, he was a fox who had cultivated into a human form, and he would not be stabbed to death by a knife so easily.
What Yunlan didn't expect was another one, that is, the emperor's demeanor when he learned that Hua Xiyue had committed suicide.
He ran into Xihua Palace like crazy, hugged the body that was already cold, this emperor, he cried.
No one knew, but Ming Feng knew that at that time, he turned into a fox and hid in that corner, looking at this emperor, Li Yanchen, crying and calling Hua Xiyue's name.
"I'm sorry, Xiyue, I'm sorry, Xiyue, look at me, you open your eyes and look at me! I'm your Yanchen, that silly boy, I'm ......"
Since then, Li Yanchen suddenly became depressed, he had never had a spring supper overnight, and he was dealing with political affairs all day long, so he died young.
"The fragrance of the flower and the moon died, and Li Yanchen died young, it is really a couple."
Ming Feng's words, I don't know if it's sarcasm or what.
