Chapter 300: The Cold Palace
Watching Concubine De's carriage leave Linglong Pavilion in a hurry, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Ye Zhenzhen, she didn't know how many people were surrounded outside, and she was still thinking about it.
"So you evacuated? Concubine De wouldn't have done anything in secret, would she? ”
Han Wei looked at the crisis that was easily resolved, but instead he was a little uneasy, and his face was full of worry.
"Send someone to follow them, and leave some people to follow Zhen Zhen closely."
Nangong Mu was also a little uneasy in his heart, he always felt that Concubine De was making up her mind, for the safety of Ye Zhenzhen, he could only be careful and careful.
Ye Zhenzhen came out of Linglong Pavilion, it was already noon, looking at the very bright warm sun, her mood was not so comfortable.
After walking around and buying some of her favorite snacks for Ye Niannian, Ye Zhenzhen rushed towards Ye's mansion non-stop.
Everyone didn't know where she went, only Shangguan Yiyi was still in the mansion, feeling uneasy.
Nangong Mu had just settled down, but he didn't expect Emperor Daqing to ask people to come and ask him to go to the palace.
In the council hall, Nangong Mu lowered his head and did not speak, while Emperor Daqing was a vigorous painter, and he couldn't stop praising the pavilion on the painting.
"I know everything today, but it's hard for you and Zhenzhen."
After a long time, Emperor Daqing threw down the magnifying glass before speaking.
"Father's words are serious, this is what Erchen and Zhen Zhen should do."
Although Nangong Mu didn't like such a thing, he still didn't want to reveal it in front of Emperor Daqing, so he had to be careful to accept it.
"In the morning, I have already sent someone to check, there is no whereabouts of the child in the six palaces, I will send someone to continue to investigate, you and Zhen Zhen can take a break for a while."
Emperor Daqing summoned him, just to give him a peace of mind, the matter of finding someone cannot be rushed for a while, but it drags on for a long time, and the greater the possibility of finding it.
"Thank you father, my son is here to thank my father for his help."
Hearing that Emperor Daqing was willing to help, Nangong Mu was indescribably happy, it was inconvenient for them to act in the palace, so they could rest assured now.
"Stand down."
Emperor Daqing was not shocked, and after explaining lightly, he took care of his own things.
On the other side, Concubine De hurried back, but she never dared to go directly to see Emperor Daqing.
"Niangniang, let's hurry up and face the saint after changing our clothes, the emperor has already sent several waves of people to urge."
Chun Tian looked at Concubine De, who was sitting in front of the mirror in a daze, frowning, and reminded her softly.
"This palace looks like this, how to face the saint, if the emperor sees the face of this palace, I am afraid that he will not want to see this palace again."
Concubine De sighed, and gently stuck her handkerchief to the edge of her abscess, her eyes full of despair.
The most important thing about this woman is her appearance, not to mention that this is the palace, who is not a person who looks at her face, her face is like this, I am afraid that it will frighten others.
"Niangniang is too worried, the emperor was infected with a vicious disease a while ago, isn't it okay, besides, this is the emperor's personal decree, naming Niangniang to face the saint, I don't think the emperor will care too much."
"As long as we take care of it for a while, it will be fine sooner or later, and when the mother recovers her appearance, you still have the final say in this harem."
Chun Tian looked at Concubine De very depressed, and hurriedly opened her mouth to comfort, in the past, Concubine De was like a fish in water in the palace, but now she is a little bit of a big loss.
"Niangniang's face will be fine sooner or later, but you must not lose the emperor's favor because of this, and then the virtuous concubine or the noble concubine will take advantage, but the gain will outweigh the loss."
Concubine De resisted Emperor Daqing a little because of her appearance, but the women of this harem were born to him alone, if she resisted the decree like this, I am afraid that Concubine De's life will not be easy in the future.
"Those few people are not worthy of being in front of me, our Hui'er will become the prince sooner or later, and then it will be their death."
Speaking of these, Concubine De suddenly had a little fighting spirit, only to see her hold the handkerchief fiercely, and then said viciously, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"That's it, let the slave maid change into simple clothes for you, Niangniang must hold the emperor's heart, maybe the next queen, but it's you."
Chun Tian smiled slightly, and then pulled up Concubine De, and then several subordinates were busy with their hands.
A small sedan chair sent Concubine De with the veil to Emperor Daqing's study, and then saw Concubine De walking inside.
"Coming? Why has it been delayed for so long? ”
Emperor Daqing didn't raise his head to look at the painting in his hand, but his mind was spinning rapidly, and his tone was full of pampering, and he didn't seem to blame.
"The face of the concubine is only afraid that she can't see people, the emperor summoned her, and the concubine didn't dare not come, but she was afraid of scaring the emperor, so she could only suffer in the palace."
Concubine De spoke in a low tone, and seemed to be very aggrieved, which made the listeners feel very pleasant, and they were all the simplest sugar-coated shells.
"When did I care about the appearance of others, besides, the face of the concubine when she entered the palace, I will never forget it in my life."
Listening to Concubine De's contrived words, Emperor Daqing was reluctant to debunk it, smiled slightly, and then said affectionately.
If you talk about acting skills in this palace, I'm afraid that no one is the opponent of our resourceful emperor.
"The emperor is making fun of his concubines again, but I don't know why the emperor summoned his concubines today?"
Concubine De was overjoyed, but she hadn't forgotten her business, so she opened her mouth and asked.
"I went to see the emperor yesterday, there are only four princes in the palace, and there is only one princess Yuqing, and the heirs are scarce, it is really not the blessing of Daqing, the emperor wants me to draft, enrich the harem, and add a little more excitement to the palace.
When asked about the matter, Emperor Daqing said without a smile that he had already made up a set, without the slightest hesitation, and his tone was also very in place.
"Your Majesty, is this going to be drafted? But with the face of the concubine, I'm afraid it's difficult to take on a big responsibility. ”
Concubine De was also taken aback, now that the princes and princesses are all grown up, it is the age of competing for the prince, Emperor Daqing still has the mind of the draft, is it that he does not plan to let these sons inherit the throne.
Thinking of this, Concubine De hurriedly excused herself, she didn't want to show her face at this time, and naturally she didn't want to let there be more newcomers in the palace, let alone let others become her stumbling block.
"You have always been known for being virtuous and empathetic, everyone in the palace admires you for three points, you don't have to be presumptuous, I and the emperor's mother have always been optimistic about you, although the concubine can be, but she is arrogant, or you are safe."
Emperor Daqing couldn't figure out what Concubine De was thinking about now, but she was still unhurried, pressing step by step, as if this matter was going to depend on her head.
Sure enough, after listening to Emperor Daqing's words, Concubine De didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and her mood was very complicated.
"Go, I believe in your ability, you have never disappointed me for so many years, and this time you will definitely be able to satisfy me and Huang Eniang."
Concubine De hesitated, and Emperor Daqing looked at her eyes quietly, and said with deep affection, Concubine De really couldn't stand it now, so she responded.
After returning to the palace, Concubine De fell into deep thought, and now she really couldn't figure out what Emperor Daqing was thinking, it seemed that she was very good to her, but she really didn't have much confidence in herself.
"Niangniang, don't think about it so much, the emperor still cares about you, the slave and maid really listened to it just now."
Chun Tian handed over a cup of tea, and then opened his mouth to continue to persuade.
"I hope so, this palace always feels that the emperor is weird for a while, and he is suddenly going to be drafted, and this palace is like this, and I don't know how to take care of this matter."
Concubine De frowned, and muttered with an evasive look, she really didn't know the bottom of her heart.
"The mother is too careful, the emperor still cares about you, in the end, you don't rely on beauty to keep the emperor, the wisdom of the mother in this palace is the biggest advantage."
Concubine De suffered from gains and losses, and Chun Tian had to say some nice things to her every day to stabilize her mood.
"How's going on over there?"
Thinking of this, Concubine De couldn't help but stare at the face in the mirror for a long time, and then asked coldly.
"What can the cold palace do, it is naturally good, no one will doubt it, there is a place like the cold palace, no one will go at all, even if there is, I am afraid that my soul will be scattered."
Chun Tian heard her mention the cold palace, her face quickly became cautious, and she said to her in an affirmative tone.
"Send more people to watch, but don't let people get close to that place easily, even if they are too smart, they will never think that this palace has hidden that child in the cold palace, no one has set foot there for so many years, and there will be no one in the future."
Concubine De's eyes were mixed with ruthlessness and calculation, and the sneer at the corner of her mouth matched her rotten face made people feel that she was a demon crawling out of hell.
"Tell the nurse, you don't have to take care of it too thoroughly, but you can't die, eat less every day, let him sleep a little longer, don't let others see the clues."
Thinking that Yang Xinyi was fostered by her in the cold palace, Concubine De felt that everything was under control, but she didn't have any pity in her heart, and saw her squinting her eyes and commanding very calmly.
"Don't worry, the slave will send someone to inform her."
Chun Tian stood behind her, nodding respectfully, while Concubine De picked up a box of white ointment on the table and gently wiped it on her face, followed by a burst of pain.
"Niangniang is too tired these days, it is always difficult to fall asleep after using this ointment, it is better to stop for a while, maybe it will get better soon."
Seeing Concubine De's painful face distorted, Chun Tian hurriedly stepped forward to take the medicine bowl, and then opened his mouth to persuade.
"No, this is the wound medicine sent by the mother country, I heard that it has the best effect on this kind of wound, if it stops, I am afraid that there will be no way to do it in this palace."
Concubine De shook her head and continued to gently nod around her face, she relied heavily on this ointment, as if she couldn't do without it.
