Xia Yubing took some precious medicinal materials from the warehouse, wrapped a few exquisite pastries, and took Ziyue to the Jade Pavilion to visit the sick.

Xu Ying's kick can be regarded as the death of Wei Nan. Now she can only lie in bed and survive one day at a time.

"Little Lord! Someone has come to see you! It's Yu Concubine. Ling Qiao excitedly came in to pass the word.

Except that the queen mother is willing to reward some medicinal materials to prolong Wei Nan's life, no one is willing to ask her. I don't know what a good day it is, but someone actually came to visit!

"Oh, how can I be a guest of this unkempt nature? Please wait outside for a while and wait for me to freshen up before inviting in. Wei Nan struggled to get up.

"Slow down, little lord! The slave and maid had already made tea for the guests and told them to wait. This is here to groom the little master! "After years of training, stupid and stupid have become more or less obedient.

Wei Nan chose an azure auspicious cloud pattern pleated skirt, which could also make her face bright; I didn't have time to braid my hair in a bun, so I simply put on a crown of gold foil from the broken beads. It's a little grand, but it doesn't matter.

Dressed properly, Wei Nan half-leaned on the head of the bed, cheering up twelve points: "Please come in." ”

Xia Yubing held the teacup and couldn't eat for a long time. Where is this tea that can be entertained? Just smelling it, I feel a sense of astringency! It can be seen that it is an aged tea that has been left for a long time.

"Ziyue, take a look......" Xia Yubing opened the lid of the teacup and handed it to Ziyue.

Ziyue looked at the tea leaves that were not in good condition floating in the water, and said pitifully: "Presumably, Wei Meiren's situation is really difficult. "The servants of the Internal Affairs Office are used to being red and white, and even such defective products dare to be brought to the masters to drink?

Xia Yubing sympathized: "Yes, Wei Meiren is also the master." No matter how unfavorable you are, it won't be your turn to be trampled on by the minions! "Looking at Wei Nan's treatment, it is even more miserable than when she fell out of favor!

"Xu is because Wei Meiren offended the imperial concubine?" Ziyue whispered the rumors she heard to Xia Yubing.

Only then did Xia Yubing know that Wei Nan's illness was difficult to return, and there was also the "credit" of the imperial concubine's kick! She couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes showed disgust, and she said in her heart that this imperial concubine is really ruthless!

Just as the master and servant sighed, Ling Qiao came out of the bedroom and invited them in.

Xia Yubing got up and moved, and just as he was about to enter the room, he suddenly noticed a familiar incense burner on the shelf outside the door.

She suddenly stopped, pointed to the incense burner and asked, "When did this incense burner start to be placed here?" ”

"Oh, what did the little lord say about this?" Ling Qiao came over with the incense burner and showed it to Xia Yubing at close range: "This has been around for a long time!" It wasn't the ...... in our temple," she pointed to the east side hall opposite: "The old owner of this thing is the original bamboo beauty." I'm afraid you don't know, right? The slave maid also served the bamboo beauty for a while. No, she is gone, and the slave wants to leave something behind. ”

"You are loyal." Xia Yubing appreciated. She took the incense burner, and her fingers suddenly touched a thick layer of dust, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time. She couldn't help frowning: "Why is it so dirty?" ”

Ling Qiao scratched his hair embarrassedly: "Isn't this the little master's bad health?" People can't take care of it, how can they pay attention to it? Besides, no one uses this incense burner. She sneered and wanted to return the incense burner, but Xia Yubing held it in her hand and refused to return it.

"Is it that no one has been using it all the time? Didn't you use it when you put it in the east side of the temple in the past? Xia Yubing's tone was anxious.

Ling Qiao didn't understand why Concubine Yu was so interested in an incense burner? I had to answer patiently: "That was about six years ago, and the bamboo beauty had just been canonized as a picker and moved to the Jade Pavilion." You know, you can still be given the position of a woman, that is really a supreme honor! At that time, in order to congratulate the imperial concubine, she specially ordered someone to cast a new tripod and send it to the Jade Pavilion, and this incense burner was also sent at that time. ”

"You mean, this incense burner was given by the imperial concubine?" Xia Yubing felt that she seemed to have glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of the conspiracy.

"yes." Ling Qiao replied affirmatively, and then touched his ears ashamedly: "It's just that at that time, the close attendant of the bamboo beauty was not a slave, but a servant of the Lihua Palace." So, I don't know if I used a slave before. But since the slave maid followed the bamboo beauty, this incense burner has basically been shelved. Because Mu Zhu felt that the big incense tripod in the hall was enough, she didn't like to make the bedroom "smoky and burning".

Hearing Ling Qiao say this, Xia Yubing's eyes lit up. She removed the lid of the censer and took it outside to make sure it was in the sun. Sure enough, there is a thin brown coating attached to the inner wall! It seems that this incense burner has also been used for a while, but fortunately, it is not long enough to completely melt the contents on the inner wall.

Xia Yubing returned the incense burner to Ling Qiao and glanced at Ziyue: "I'll go in and talk to Wei Meiren, Ziyue, you don't have to follow, just guard outside." Taking advantage of Lingqiao, he turned around to put the incense burner, Xia Yubing pointed to the incense burner, and said with his mouth: "Look at that!" Ziyue received it and nodded heavily.

After Ling Qiao sent Xia Yubing to Wei Nan's bedroom, he also withdrew. In the room, only two "sisters" who were not very familiar with each other remained.

"Concubine Wei, please say hello to my sister!" Wei Nan struggled to salute Xia Yubing, but was hurriedly stopped by Xia Yubing.

"Sister doesn't have to be polite, if you are not feeling well, you will be exempted from false courtesy." Xia Yubing helped her back to the bed.

"Thank you for your kindness. My sister was able to come to see the concubine, and the concubine was grateful. "Wei Nan's position is low, and he has not been courteous to others since he entered the palace. Now that he has fallen out of favor and lingered on the sickbed, no one cares about it. No matter what her purpose was, if Concubine Yu had the heart to come and visit her, she felt satisfied.

"What are these words? Between the harem sisters, they should have been moving around a lot. I also encountered some troubles in the palace before, so I didn't take the time to visit my sister. I hope my sister won't be surprised! Xia Yubing can understand Wei Nan's mood very well. When she fell out of favor, she was also looking forward to someone to come to see her, even if it was good to talk to her.

"With the words of my sister, the concubine is blind when she dies!" Wei Nan took Xia Yubing's hand and said sadly: "The concubine's body may not be able to support it for another half a year, but it is just a matter of life." However, the concubine is unwilling! I was unwilling to go so silently! "She didn't want to die and stink and no one would know; I don't want to die without anyone remembering that she ever existed.

"Sister, don't say anything discouragement! As the saying goes, if you don't, your sister is at the worst, just get through it! Look at me, I have survived the big and small storms, and I have come to the bitter end? You have to believe that sooner or later you will have such a day! Xia Yubing's words are just to comfort others and herself.

Wei Nan shook his head and smiled gratefully: "My sister comforted the concubine, and the concubine understood it." I know my body best. If it weren't for the imperial concubine's kick, the concubine might still be able to ...... Unfortunately, it's not possible now. She had already asked the doctor, and the doctor said that the kick had hit her heart and could not be cured.

"Sister, you are really stupid, why do you want to contradict the imperial concubine in such a dignified manner? She's always been harsh, so why are you bothering to confront her head-on? "I am still cautious in my words and deeds when I become a concubine, Wei Nan's little beauty can't get along with the imperial concubine, isn't that looking for death?

Wei Nan shook his head again, and tears couldn't stop flowing: "Sister doesn't know, it's the imperial concubine's master and servant who deceive people too much." It's not enough to insult the concubine, but also to humiliate the concubine's mother's family! Even the concubines' deceased relatives refused to let go. How can there be such a bully? She hated Xu Ying's servants to death, and prayed every day that they would go to hell with their tongues!

"It's excessive! However, hasn't the imperial concubine always been like this? The concubine in the palace didn't suffer her anger? "People are in high positions, who can help her? Xia Yubing held Wei Nan's hand very sympathetically: "I don't have any friends in the palace, and I'm very lonely alone." The thought of my sister being in a similar situation to me makes me feel distressed. If my sister doesn't dislike it, we'll be friends from today onwards, what do you think? ”

Wei Nan was so moved that he couldn't cry, and held Xia Yubing back: "Thank you, sister, for your mercy." After my sister dies, if I can still be remembered by my sister, it will not be in vain to go to this world! She wiped away her tears and said solemnly: "Since my sister treats her concubine sincerely, the concubine might as well tell my sister a secret!" ”

Xia Yubing was hesitating to accept her secret, but she only heard Wei Nan mention that it was related to the imperial concubine, so she immediately decided to listen to it.

"It's not so much a secret as a plan. It can also be regarded as a 'last wish' of the concubine before she died......" Although Wei Nan's breath was weak, the words he said were terrifying: "The concubine wants to bring down the imperial concubine!" ”

"What?" The silk handkerchief in Xia Yubing's hand fell in response: "Sister, are you crazy?" She really suspected that she was hallucinating, Wei Nan actually wanted to use her ant power to bring down the deep-rooted tree of the imperial concubine? It's just whimsical!

"My sister also thinks that the concubine is crazy? Yes, the concubine is probably really crazy......" Wei Nan lowered his head in loss and muttered: "The concubine knows that it is not enough to shake the status of the imperial concubine by herself. However, the concubine just doesn't want to see her live so proudly and beautifully! ”

The moment he peeked into the secret of the incense burner, Xia Yubing also hated Xu Ying. But Wei Nan's words still made her frightened.

Wei Nan has lived too aggrieved in this life! Just because the queen protects her, the imperial concubine wants to trample her? Why? She's not reconciled! She looked up at Xia Yubing and smiled sadly: "The concubine is dying, but even if the concubine goes to hell, she will want to drag Xu Ying together!" At the very least, it is necessary to cut off her comfort in the future! ”

"So...... Do you already have a plan? Xia Yubing asked incredulously.

"The concubine wants to commit suicide by taking poison and marry the imperial concubine!" Wei Nan's words were amazing.

"Never!" Xia Yubing denied it without thinking about it: "It's a big crime for a concubine to commit suicide!" Besides, can you guarantee that you will succeed? What if 'stealing chickens doesn't make rice'? She felt that Wei Nan's plan was too hasty. With such a cunning person as the imperial concubine, it is difficult to bring her down if she has evidence, let alone framed for no reason?

"The concubines are like this, what are you afraid of? If it's a big deal, you will die in vain, and you won't live long anyway! "Ending up together is the best she wants to see; The worst thing is that Xu Ying is safe and sound, and she is in a different place.

"My sister is so confused! You're dead, you're gone, but what about your family? Xia Yubing looked directly into her eyes and said earnestly: "Your family will be guilty of you, and you will never be able to turn over!" You can't bear the verbal insults of the imperial concubine. If you did that, do you think she would let your mother go? At that time, she will humiliate your relatives a thousand times, will you be at ease after death? ”

"Nope! No way! Can't let that happen! I...... What should I do? Wei Nan finally broke down, tears welling up.
