Chapter 82: Concubine De
The two chatted for a while in the suburbs, but they couldn't stay long. Eat some more, and it is estimated that the grandmother who took care of the third princess should also wake up. Gu San looked at Murong Yuhua's mouth full of oil, "Are you full of barbecue?" Would you like to eat something else? β
Murong Yuhua approached her wine jug a little greedily, "Can I drink it?" Just take a sip. β
"Your body looks too small right now! What kid can drink? No way. β
"I'm an adult at heart!"
"What if something happens to you?" Gu San stood up as she spoke, and Murong Yuhua hung on her like a little monkey. She is not heavy now, after all, at the age of eight or nine years old, she is still small, and she has no weight at all. If outsiders see the two of them at this time, they will still regard them as a pair of sisters, after all, one is a girl of fifteen or sixteen, and the other is a playful and cute little girl.
Gu San hugged her, "I'll send you back, since someone did it before, it's actually very dangerous for you to come out alone today." β
Murong Yuhua tilted his head: "Who do you think will want to harm me?" β
"After Concubine De and Concubine Kang have a bad relationship, whoever benefits the most will be the one who will harm you."
While saying this, the two walked slowly towards the annex in the suburbs. Murong Yuhua lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Then there is only one person who should be most afraid of Concubine De and Concubine Kang joining forces right nowβthe queen!" But the queen shouldn't be able to do it herself, she is in a high position and knows the truth of doing more wrong and not doing well. Unless ......"
"Unless someone is instructed by her to want to get rid of the obstacles in front of them."
"There aren't many candidates, this time ......"
Before Murong Yuhua finished speaking, Gu San suddenly raised his hand, and his index finger lightly pressed against her lips, "Shh...... I heard someone coming. β
As he spoke, he took her and hid in the shadow of the wall. The moonlight was gradually obscured by dark clouds, and in the night, I couldn't see my fingers, and I saw a white lantern swaying from far to near. Gu San took a few steps back vigilantly, hugged Murong Yuhua into his arms, and pressed it even tighter.
The man was a grown man with heavy steps. Gu San barely managed to see his outfit through the lantern in his hand, he was a guard, with a knife at his side, and a dark cyan tassel pendant hanging from the hilt. This person came and went in a hurry, as if he was looking for something, Gu San didn't see his face clearly, he had already walked away in a hurry.
Murong Yuhua swallowed his saliva, and only when he was far away did he ask in a low voice, "What do you think...... Could this person have come to me? β
Gu San was calm and calm, "Isn't it, in a few days, the accident in Concubine Kang's carriage will be clarified." β
Then he sent Murong Yuhua back to the courtyard where Concubine De Niangniang lived. When he entered, the lights in several rooms were dimmed, and Gu San helped Murong Yuhua climb through the window and climb in, tiptoeing back to the bed.
In the next few days, Concubine Kang stayed in the room and slowly recuperated her body. It is said that the matter of the carriage has been investigated again, and for Gu San, whether these things are found out or not, it must be a certainty that Concubine Kang will be jealous and hated in the palace. After all, there are ups and downs in the palace like Concubine Kang, and there are really not many people who can be crowned concubines all the way behind. Moreover, the emperor can be so attentive to her, more or less a little emotional.
Not to mention that this "little" affection has a little bit, it is much better than other concubines who can't compete for the slightest favor. It's sad to think about it this way, and in the end you can only compare each other like this.
On the eve of the end of the autumn hunt, Concubine De took the three princesses to visit Concubine Kang for the first time. didn't come with much fanfare, so he brought a grandmother and a maidservant, and the four of them went to Concubine Kang's house.
Concubine Kang was naturally excited when she saw her daughter, but thinking of her attitude towards herself in front of the carriage a few days ago, it was inevitable that she would have a grudge against Concubine De, an adult. Concubine De is a straightforward person, she doesn't smile on weekdays, but she is not a cruel and vicious person, and when Concubine Kang was down, she didn't think about falling into the well.
She came this time, sat down, and after greeting Concubine Kang, she went straight in, pushed the third princess to Concubine Kang, and said, "Sister, I came today, in fact, I still have to make amends." β
Concubine Kang suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and forced a smile on her face, "If my sister is talking about Hua'er, then there is nothing to make amends." At the beginning, you and I have already made up our minds, and since I promised to hand over the child to my sister to raise, I will not regret it. β
"My sister's willingness to hand over her daughter to me to raise is your trust in me, and I know that it is indeed cruel to let my sister endure the thoughts of being a mother these days. I am also selfish, and it is precisely because I know that Hua'er has a deep affection for you, so I don't dare to let her come to see you......" Concubine De frowned slightly, and her words were indeed sincere, "For more than a year, I have regarded Hua'er as my own." It is precisely because of this 'treat as your own' that I am more worried that she may be gone with you at any time. β
Concubine Kang had a little tears between her eyes, "But even so...... You know that I have made a promise and will never go back on it, and you will let me see her somehow. I myself know that seeing each other frequently will make you feel uncomfortable, but I am also patient. Can...... But you can't let this kid completely forget about me, Hongu. β
"Sister, how dare I say that the child really forgot about you? I have come today to make amends for this matter. I also saw the situation that day, and it was indeed I who predicted it before I let her go, but she really came to you like this, and I was in trouble these two days. Especially after your accident, sister......" Concubine De pulled the third princess and put her hand in Concubine Kang's hand, "Do you know that Hua'er was attacked when she first came to the annex!" Someone hit him the back of the head, and when he woke up, he could barely recognize some people and know something, but ...... But they did forget many, many things. β
Murong Yuhua stood between the two women, looking back and forth between the two of them with some uneasiness. Concubine Kang was shocked, and hurriedly took Hua'er into her arms and looked up and down carefully, "Where is it, the back of the head is smashed?" Do you know who did it? β
Concubine De shook her head guiltily, "The grandmother who took care of her said that she didn't pay attention to one that day, so Hua'er ran out, and when she found her, she walked over by herself in a daze, and didn't find the wound until she took a bath at night." asked Hua'er, and Hua'er herself didn't remember it at all. At first, I thought she had hit her, but then I thought that if this child had hit herself, there would be no place near the garden where she could be injured like this! β
Bixi on the side couldn't hold back anymore when he heard this, "Niangniang, what kind of person is this, not to mention the third princess first, and then deliberately overturned your carriage, killing your life and the child in your belly!" β
Concubine De echoed, "It was also after you had an accident, and the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt. Why is it that Hua'er has an accident at this juncture, and why did he choose to hunt at the time, that person wants to attack you. If the other party really succeeds, sister, you really don't have anything left in the palace, not even a child! β
"This person is far more vicious than I can imagine......"
"If you want me to say, mother, this person is really terrible!" Bixi was full of fear, "This person not only wants to harm you, but also wants to completely erase you from the emperor, and destroy all the traces you left behind, as if this is the only way to relieve the hatred in your heart!" What kind of person can do such a thing? β
Concubine De comforted Concubine Kang, "Now it seems that it is naturally best that you and Hua'er are safe and sound, and this person's conspiracy will be self-defeating." I'm just curious, if this person is for your favor in front of the emperor, then he still thinks about the emperor, whether it is the child in your womb or Hua'er, isn't it the emperor's blood? Isn't this hurting the emperor's heart? β
Concubine Kang smiled helplessly, "How could you and I not know that doing this will hurt the emperor's heart." But if you think about it, if this person wants me to die, he will be jealous of me. Since he is jealous of me, he is naturally in love with the emperor, and he would rather use such means than watch him have children with other women. β
Concubine De sneered, "Such a person is obsessed, but does the person who is taken to heart by his heart really know?" β
Concubine De's attitude attracted a little interest from Murong Yuhua, just now she stood in the center, looking at Concubine Kang as if she was about to cry, and she was still struggling with what to do, and instead listened to their speculation, which was not different from what she said to Gu San a few days ago. Listening to what Concubine De said again, she suddenly had an idea, and reached out to take the hands of the two mothers left and right, "Concubine De is a mother in the eyes of Hua'er, and Concubine Kang is also a mother in the eyes of Hua'er." Hua'er will not die in this catastrophe, and it must be two mothers who bless me so that I can finally escape from death! β
The two women were very relieved when they heard her words, and Concubine Kang subconsciously wanted to hug her again, but they happened to meet Concubine De's outstretched hand. Murong Yuhua hurriedly stretched out his hand and hugged both of them, "I'm so happy that I have two mothers who put me at the top of my heart and love me, aren't we like a family of three?" The two of you join forces, and although the enemy is hidden in the shadows, it seems to me that it is definitely not as powerful as the two of you combined. β
As soon as Concubine De heard this, she also nodded in agreement, "The one in this palace who can be bigger than me and Concubine Kang is the queen's mother, you and I join forces, who dares to make a mistake?" β
Concubine Kang said from her words, as if she understood something, and suddenly said, "You and I have a good personal relationship, if something happens to Hua'er, and I barely leave a life, I will definitely not listen to your explanation, and will only blame you for her death." β
Concubine De's eyes sank, "Then the alliance between you and me will naturally break down, and we will fight separately, maybe someone will come over and pull me over." β
"And that person didn't dare to act rashly, but he was just concerned about your and my status in the palace. There are only two kinds of people who want us to die, and who feel that our position is in the way of their prosperity and promotion, and ......"
Concubine De and Concubine Kang exchanged a look with each other.
"I feel that the position of you and me affects her original peace of mind."
