Hua Ying spends a leisurely life in her own home, and the biggest advantage of leaving the harem is that she doesn't have to face hypocritical faces all day long, and she has to think about whether she has done anything wrong and how to behave in person, even if their family is also a big family, according to others, there are a lot of dirty things, but their family is indeed harmonious, and the children born in those concubines are also said to be safe and self-conscious, knowing that Hua Ying is not a master who is easy to fool, no one dares to find it unhappy.

The opposite of the harmonious scene here is naturally the harem, the day Hua Ying left, the emperor did not flop, so that the women in the harem were disappointed again, at least I thought that in the two or three days that Hua Ying left, the emperor would set his eyes on other concubines, but now there is a feeling of thinking about it day and night.

Concubine Ning has always been preparing to make some small moves, and now she also wants to take advantage of Hua Ying's absence to really do it, but what she doesn't know is that she calculates others, and some people keep staring at her from behind, sometimes people just tend to keep staring ahead, but ignore the important parts, such as behind themselves.

The emperor is also as usual on this day, a quiet and cold person in the heart hall to read the excerpts, after reading the excerpts, let people make a pot of tea, and then read and write by themselves, so he usually does not leave the concubines to stay in the heart palace for a long time, he will also feel that if the concubines stay by his side, it will affect himself.

Not long ago, Li Quan just sent Concubine Ning away, Concubine Ning brought some pastries and fruits, said a few words and left, probably knowing that he was also causing trouble for the emperor by staying here, but not long after Concubine Ning left, Yinlan came in with new tea.

Yinlan was originally a rough palace maid in the palace of Yangxin, because the tea was good, she was looked at differently by her aunt, and the emperor had no opinion, and then a palace maid who was originally a second-class palace maid suffered an illness, and the position was vacant, and Yinlan has always been very good at things, and made it in front of the supervisor or aunt, so this position became hers.

The emperor knew her former identity, but because Li Quan said that he didn't care too much, after all, she was just a second-class palace maid in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and it was not worth the emperor's attention with so much effort, and now that he saw her, he just gave her a little more attention.

"Greetings to the emperor, this is today's newly brewed tea, please taste it."

"Is there anything special about this tea, it is worth saying a special thing." When the emperor saw her, he said casually, and by the way, he turned another page of his book.

"If you go back to the emperor, this is nothing special, just because the slave maid has made different changes in it than before, the emperor can taste it, if you don't like it, the slave and maid will not do it next time." Yinlan's appearance is not particularly outstanding, although her personality can make the emperor feel a little favorable, but as I said before, the emperor will definitely not accept a personal palace maid of his deceased concubine, for the sake of love and for his own safety.

The emperor thinks so, and Yinlan understands, she treats the emperor like this, not to seduce the emperor, the reason why Hua Ying is relieved and helps Yinlan is more because Yinlan is a person with a firm goal, even if the emperor really likes her, she will not be an official woman or promise to be there, which is not what her master wants to see.

Everything Yinlan did was for her master, she first had to make the emperor have some trust in herself, not to mention that she could believe unconditionally, at least to be at ease and happy about her existence, which had already completed part of her plan.

The emperor put down the book and tasted it carefully: "It's indeed a little different, but things like making tea, don't change it easily, I'm used to drinking tea, don't add anything else next time." ”

It's not that the emperor didn't doubt Yinlan's purpose, but in the end, he was loyal, and he used this to hint to Yinlan that if she wanted to spend her life like this, he could let her serve in the Heart Cultivation Palace, but don't have other ideas.

"Since the emperor doesn't like it, the slave will naturally not do it next time." Yinlan lowered her eyes slightly, and her eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her eyelids, as if to foreshadow her heart.

"Go out, call Li Quan in, there's nothing to do and let others come in again."

It's just a palace maid, no matter how sad the emperor is, it will stop here, and then called Li Quan, originally asking him to come over to inquire about Hua Ying's situation outside the palace, but he didn't expect Li Quan to bring a news to himself.

"Your Majesty, when the slave was investigating, I accidentally found out that the matter between Concubine Jiang and Concubine Xiu, the emperor guessed correctly, and your abnormality that day was not accidental at all." Li Quan knew that the matter was very important, and he dared to tell the emperor only when he got accurate news, otherwise such a thing would be made up or blurted out in the first place, and Li Quan would never dare.

"Say it, I listen." The emperor also had some premonitions, just waved his hand, and saved Li Quan from those unnecessary reminders, no matter what the truth was, he could stand it.

"The original matter, according to the slave's inquiry, it is indeed an inexplicable relationship with Concubine Jiang, and the slave also went to inquire about the palace maid Feng Qi's family next to Concubine Jiang's mother, and his grandfather used to be a barefoot doctor, married a woman from southern Xinjiang, that is, Concubine Jiang's grandmother, so Concubine Jiang Niangniang had the opportunity to come into contact with some folk prescriptions and uncommon medicines from the frontier."

"What do you mean by that? Does that mean that Concubine Jiang has a great chance of drugged me?" The more the emperor listened, the more frowning he became, obviously he only knew Concubine Jiang's parents, and he didn't know that Concubine Jiang had such a background: "But Concubine Jiang was in the limelight in the palace at that time, and I was tired of Concubine Ling...... When the Fucha clan is unreasonable, they will go to see her, and she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son to me, and I will not snub her too much for the sake of the royal face. ”

"This slave doesn't know the specific reason, but what the slave can tell the emperor is that the slave can basically be sure that it was planned by Concubine Jiang's mother, and she wants to give the emperor an aphrodisiac, because the slave sent someone to secretly explore Concubine Jiang's mother's house, and there happened to be a girl who was punished at that time, and as soon as the slave asked her, she happened to know some things back then, that is, Concubine Jiang let people take a lot of obscene drugs, but they are generally not easily discovered, and I don't know what was going on at that time, maybe Concubine Jiang was heavy, so that the emperor noticed, And the timing is not right. ”

At that time, the emperor was not in the main hall of Concubine Jiang's Changxin Palace, but because he was a little tired after a busy day, and Concubine Jiang took care of the eldest brother is also hard, so the emperor went to the side hall to rest, who knew that after a while, his body was suddenly extremely hot, no matter what the emperor said, he was also a person who grew up in the palace, so he naturally knew that he was recruited, so he planned to go to the Palace of Nourishing Heart to rest and calm down, and by the way, he asked Li Quan to find his henchman and imperial doctor, but halfway through the way, he met Concubine Xiu, who was still a palace maid, and that's it, Concubine Xiu had a child and became a concubine.

I have already said before that this matter has been hanging in the emperor's heart, and his childhood has been calculated by others, so he is most afraid of being manipulated by others to control his fate or other things, today Li Quan told him the truth of the matter, which also made him a little difficult to accept, and when he heard the last sentence, his face was basically completely black.

"Is there really no other possibility?" The emperor can't remember how many times he sighed like this, sometimes a thing has been wearing a good-looking skin, and it will always make people think that the heart of this thing is also good, but he will always be disappointed again and again, everyone hopes that there is a white moonlight in their hearts, but when they are disillusioned with white moonlight, their hearts are mixed, and they are not just disappointed.

The emperor is doubting himself, is the person in his heart the same, does he still have a harem concubine who can be trusted? . Whether he is willing to believe it is one thing, and whether that person is worth believing in is another.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry with yourself, although Concubine Jiang has had such a thing, maybe she was just dizzy for a while." Li Quan has been by the emperor's side for so many years, and he can see the change in the emperor's mood with just a small movement, and he knows that the emperor is not disappointed and angry, but more helpless for the harem.

"No matter how dizzy she is, it's not for those interests, I'm not a fool, she was so eager and unscrupulous at the time, most likely because she thought that there were more newcomers in the harem, she wanted to have another child, or more favors to help her become the first person in the harem." Huang Shang knew it in his heart, but at that time, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that Concubine Jiang might not be such a person, but the result still disappointed the emperor.

Li Quan was a little speechless for a while, in fact, he could understand the emperor in his heart, but he felt that the emperor himself didn't trust others in the first place, so why should he keep pursuing a person who could be trusted, isn't this what he called asking for hardships? If Li Quan wants to say, it is to find a concubine who is compatible in all aspects as a person who can communicate, such as Concubine Yun: "Your Majesty, you also know that in the palace, it is difficult to maintain your heart." ”

"Isn't it clear in my heart? It's just that I still have a hint of fantasy, and in the end, it's my own problem. The emperor did not continue to sigh, but picked up the book on his desk again, and felt that he couldn't stand it, and saw the picture book that had been placed in the corner: "At a time like this, I can only read this kind of book, and I don't know if she is doing well over there." ”

"The emperor can rest assured, Concubine Yun is back to her own home, you also know how much the mother loved at home at that time, and she is naturally good." Li Quan couldn't understand why the emperor would say this.

The emperor himself knew that although he wanted to make Hua Ying happy in his heart, he had to admit that he wanted Hua Ying to be inseparable from him: "I understand, when Concubine Yun returns to the palace, remember to tell me that if I don't see her for two days, I will miss her." ”

"The minion made a note of it."

always wants his concubines to obey him, but he doesn't want them to be for power, fame and fortune, I'm afraid it's a little wishful thinking.
