Chapter Seventy-Two: The Concubine Apologies
"Miss Xianglan, I know that you have a deep affection for that man, but he almost ruined the innocence of this palace, and this palace can't help you in this matter. β
With her character, she had long wanted to kill that man and then hurry up, how could she let him go because of Xianglan's rhetoric? Therefore, she decisively rejected Xianglan's request, and by the way, she gave her an order to expel the guest.
She glanced at Ruo'er, Ruo'er understood, and immediately stepped forward to help Xianglan get up, and said, "Miss Xianglan, please go back." β
Seeing that Xiang Lan couldn't get help from Su Yang here, she bit her lower lip tightly, owed to Su Yang, and left Muyun Tower.
"Mother, this girl is really stupid, she would beg you to help her. β
Ruo'er saw that Xianglan was gone, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Yang sit down on the side, and hugged a soup woman to cover her hands, and said while talking.
"Hmph, she's stupid, but Concubine Zhen is even more stupid, she can't think of such a method!"
Su Yang had some good feelings for the master and servant, but in this way, these good feelings gradually exhausted, indeed, the concubine's mind may be good, but it is also true that this approach almost killed her, and before the concubine wakes up, she will not have any intersection with the concubine.
"Niangniang, the emperor has rewarded the warm and tonic decoction. β
Just as the two were talking about Concubine Zhen, Aunt Mingyu came up with a bowl of medicinal soup and said that it was rewarded by Murong Jue.
"Can you tell the Imperial Doctor to see it?"
"Niangniang, don't worry, this decoction was sent from the small medicine house in the palace, there are our people there, you can rest assured. β
Maybe it was the experience of her previous life that left Su Yang with indelible pain, in this life she was suspicious of any decoction and medicine, and after listening to what Mingyu said, she was a little relieved and took the bowl of decoction and drank it.
"Let's go and talk back, thank the emperor for the palace. β
"Yes. β
On this day, Su Yang was also tired of tossing, and seeing that it was not early, he asked Ruo'er to wait for Zhou Gong to go to bed with a change of clothes.
On the other hand, in the concubine's room.
Looking at Xianglan, who was kneeling and sobbing below, Concubine Zhen had an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, and scolded bitterly: "Why are you so stupid! That little pear flower's reputation has long been ruined, you still have to marry him, today the mourning family is for you to remove this stumbling block, how can you still go to the imperial concubine to intercede!"
"But the slave just likes him! whatever he becomes, the slave likes it!"
Xianglan said, raised her hand and wiped a handful of tears, in her heart, Xiao Lihua will always be the gentle young man who was as gentle as jade back then, so she was reluctant to watch him die in vain.
"Hmph, you are so naΓ―ve! What a fool! How do you think the mourning family made that little pear flower obedient today? It is precisely because I promised to take care of his wife and son for him! He has already gotten married!"
Listening to the concubine's words, Xianglan couldn't believe it, she and Xiao Lihua were childhood sweethearts, why didn't she know that he was married?
But the concubine never deceived her, looking at the concubine's slightly disappointed eyes, the fire called love in Xianglan's heart was completely extinguished.
"The slave understands ......"
"Good boy, the mourning family knows that you are affectionate and righteous, but some people are really not worthy of trust, do you understand?" Seeing that the light in her eyes was fading, the concubine understood that her words had taken effect, and stepped forward to help Xianglan up, patted her hand and comforted softly.
"The slave understands, thank you for the kindness of the concubine. Seeing Concubine Zhen like this, Xianglan couldn't help but believe her words, so she stopped struggling, wiped the tears on her face, sniffed, and said, "The slave went to work, and she retired first." β
"Go ahead. β
Not long after Xianglan left, a woman in a gray palace dress walked in, served a bowl of tea cup to the concubine, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Niangniang, isn't it good for you to lie to her like this?"
"What's wrong? She is a person who wants to achieve great things, if she has wasted her life for a drama, then it is not good, the mourning family has paved the way for her, and will not let anyone become a stumbling block for her. β
Concubine Zhen has too much hope for Xianglan, so when she saw Xianglan hugging and hugging Xiao Lihua Qingqing and me in the back that day, she was afraid that she would spoil her own business, and bribed Xiao Lihua with silver to do today's things.
"The concubine is wise, but after today, I am afraid that the relationship with the imperial concubine that you have carefully maintained will be broken. β
"So what? You don't have to worry about this, the mourning family will personally make amends to her later, but speaking of which, one day we will tear our faces, even if we don't ask for mercy today, it doesn't matter, but it's better to have more than one thing. β
As she spoke, the concubine picked up the teacup and took a sip, got up and walked to the door, looked at the snow-capped courtyard and wrapped in silver, stretched out her hand to catch a piece of snowflake, and muttered to herself: "This year's winter seems to be warmer than in previous years. β
As she spoke, a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
In the early morning of the next day, Su Yang got up, but saw Ruo'er standing aside, pouting with a small mouth, and didn't seem to be very happy, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Niangniang, the concubine sent something over there. β
As she spoke, Ruo'er took down a small bottle from the shelf, she opened the bottle, and a sweet fragrance entered her nose, and she dipped her hand in it to take a closer look, it turned out to be an amber viscous liquid, which should be honey.
"What is this?"
"It was sent by the concubine, saying that it was to make amends to you, and that it was the best acacia nectar, which they brewed themselves when they were in the palace. β
Ruo'er's face didn't change at all when she said this, and she still had a stinky face.
Hearing her say this, Su Yang also understood why she was unhappy, the concubine had just caused her to almost lose her body yesterday, and today's reparation was just to send such a thing, no wonder Ruo'er was angry.
"Okay, Ruo'er, she is the emperor's biological mother, you better give her some good faces, put away this honey first, you come to dress up for the palace, and they must come over later." β
"Yes, slave and maid understand. β
Hearing Su Yang say this, although Ruo'er was reluctant, she still put away the nectar, and then changed her clothes and makeup.
As Su Yang expected, around noon, Concubine Zhen really brought Xianglan to ask to see, although she didn't want to see her, but because of Concubine Zhen's special status, she still called them in.
"Why did the concubine come here today?"
"I have come today to ask for your forgiveness. Saying that, Concubine Zhen asked all the people in the house to retreat, and then knelt down towards Su Yang and said, "Wan Ying, the mourning family knows that the mourning family did something wrong yesterday, please forgive me!"
