This afternoon, Wan Yin accompanied Lan Yi and talked for a while, Yi Bin never urged, but in the evening, when Lan Yi left them to eat, Yi Bin said that her mother was waiting, saying that she had boiled some chicken soup for Wan Yin, and before going out, her mother specially instructed her to take Wan Yin back to make up for her body.

Yi Bin smiled and arched his hand, "I really want to stay in Prince Gong's mansion, it's like home, and the dishes are delicious, but unfortunately, my mother's life cannot be violated." ”

Wan Yin pushed him, "Look at you, are you cheeky, this is the home of His Royal Highness and Lan Yi, why are you familiar with it." ”

Lan Yi smiled, "We are all a family, and Prince Gong's mansion is also my cousin's home, so naturally, I will also bring Yi Gongzi." Cousin, you can come over at any time, now only you and Miaoyun can talk to me. ”

In this way, at dusk, Yi Bin took Wanyin back, and Lan Yi had dinner with Wei Changjue.

Speaking of the affairs of the court, Chang Jue said that Wei Changze has really stopped a lot now, and the followers around him have almost dispersed, but the emperor seems to have no good face for him because of Changfu Palace.

Lan Yi said: "Concubine Ying actually miscalculated this time, Prince Gong's Mansion and Changfu Palace were all damaged, but our damage was more serious." ”

Chang Jue said: "In the end, it is a woman who has been favored by her father for so many years, even if the sins she has done are clearly placed in front of her father, she will not really be injured." Speaking of which, this time, Changfu Palace was divided into powers, but Concubine Ying accepted it calmly, and if such an attitude was taken out, I am afraid that it could be exchanged for a little guilt in her father's heart. ”

"Guilt." Lan Yi couldn't help but sneer, "She's vicious, and she still feels guilty?" Sure enough, the most unreasonable thing in the world is people's feelings. ”

Chang Jue was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Lan Yi, I think that my father's suppression this time must not be only aimed at Changfu Palace, since Prince Gong's Mansion is also involved, then he will definitely not let us live comfortably." ”

Lan Yi put the chopsticks aside angrily and asked, "I've already banned my feet, what else should I do?" I lost a daughter, and I can't even avenge her? ”

Chang Jue hurriedly gave her vegetables, picked up her favorite food and sent it to the bowl, and persuaded in her mouth: "Eating is the most important thing, let's talk while eating." ”

Seeing that Lan Yi couldn't resist the burst of vegetable fragrance, and grabbed the chopsticks again, Chang Jue said: "Of course revenge is fine, but you must also know in your heart that someone died in the prince's mansion, or the concubines of other princes, just to cover it up, the father and the emperor have to put some effort into it." Now it is only rumored that Concubine Pei has suddenly fallen ill outside, and you have a deep sisterhood with her and even go out of the door, all of which are the power of your father's envoy. And let's solve this matter by ourselves, he will feel that we have overstepped, he will think, he dares to kill people now, and he is ruthless to his siblings, so what about other grievances in the future? Don't you dare to ......?"

The latter words can't be said, Lan Yi also knows, but her nose can't help but be sour, "Changjue, do you also think I've done too much?" ”

Chang Jue shook his head, and suddenly smiled gently, as if there was endless pampering and connivance between his eyebrows and eyes, "I never felt that there was anything wrong with what you did." Lan Yi, you were originally a girl who would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile. ”

Lan Yi bit her lip, "Anyway, look at me, anything is fine." After a pause, she raised her head and said quite seriously, "Fortunately, I see that you are the same." ”

The husband and wife's hands were naturally held together, Ning Fu had already quietly withdrawn with a smile, such a warm time, who cares if she eats or not, even her little maid, feels that the masters are too difficult, such a good time, too little and too short.

God obviously doesn't favor anyone in particular, the development of things, as Changjue expected, after the emperor took away part of the power in the hands of Ying Guifei, he really felt guilty, and after Ying Guifei asked to see her for the third time, the emperor was finally willing to see her.

At this time, Concubine Ying was dressed very plainly, without the courage of the past, and her face was only lightly powdered, and when she arrived in front of the emperor, she bowed in a proper manner, took out a bowl of thickly stewed white fungus soup from the food box in Qinghe's hand next to her, and ate it herself first, and then silently put it on the table in front of the emperor.

This is a tacit understanding between two people, a habit developed over the years, no matter when, as long as it is an occasion to meet alone, she will always eat the food in front of the emperor, not that the internal affairs office is not strict, it is really a fist, just taste it in advance.

The Emperor watched her familiar movements, sighed, and extended his hand to her.

Concubine Ying knelt down, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, "Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine doesn't dare to get too close to you." ”

The Emperor frowned, "What words." Get up. ”

Concubine Ying shook her head, "Your Majesty, let the concubines kneel, only by kneeling can you feel at ease." The concubine doesn't know what she did wrong, but she understands that she is tired of you, and the concubine thinks about it, and feels that she is not as beautiful as the young sisters, and she is not as good as them to understand your mind, and she will definitely come to this point day by day, but the concubine really didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. ”

The emperor's brows tightened even tighter, "Aren't your words just nonsense?" I watched you work hard a few days ago, and I asked the concubines and concubines to help you share your worries, when did I get tired of you? ”

Concubine Ying's tears fell like this, "It's not that the emperor's actions make the concubines feel tired of you, it's that for so many years, the concubines have always thought that they have the same heart as you, what you want, what you like, and the concubines can guess somewhat, but now, the concubines don't understand your preferences anymore, and you don't seem to want the concubines to know if you're okay, and you're not happy today - the door of the Qianming Palace looks open, but in fact, it has been closed to the concubines." ”

The emperor was silent, in fact, these things were bigger, it was the harem concubines who spied on the Qianming Palace, but Ying Guifei was also like this in the past, and the emperor at that time, not only did not think she was arrogant, but also thought it was a sign of concern, so compared with Empress Cikang, he came to the conclusion that it was really Ying Guifei who was more intimate.

But now that time has passed, and so many doubts are pressed on his heart, the emperor can't say words of comfort anyway.

And Concubine Ying didn't intend to coax the emperor to change his mind in just a few words, seeing that he didn't speak, he just lowered his head and smiled miserably, "The concubine understands." In fact, when I came here today, the concubine just wanted to come over and explain to you with a mind that she couldn't let go of you...... Your Majesty, if you are willing to listen, the concubine will say, if you believe that the concubine is such a vicious woman with a femme fatale, the concubine will return to Changfu Palace, and will never cause you any more trouble. ”

When the emperor heard her tone, he was very decisive, and it was difficult for him to really be completely ruthless, so he pondered for a moment and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Concubine Ying's spine straightened, "Your Majesty, the concubine actually understands very well in her heart that you are for Rong Huan's death, as well as Concubine Pei's death, and the anger of the concubine, I feel that the concubine must have done something inside, but do you remember why the concubine will taste the food delivered to you first every time you are by your side?" ”

The emperor said in a deep voice: "This is naturally the benefit of your prudence, but I can't see what this has to do with the death of Rong Huan and Concubine Pei. ”

Concubine Ying smiled miserably again, "How can it be okay?" The concubines are afraid that there will be something unclean in your food, so if there is anything bad about the emperor, the first concubine will go with them, so that the concubines and the emperor are not lonely. And the concubines have such thoughts, how can they poison the emperor's children and grandchildren? They have your blood on them! ”

She slammed her head on the ground, "The concubine is not cursing the emperor, but this should not be said, please ask the emperor to cure the concubine's sins immediately!" ”

The emperor lowered his head and saw her wearing a pair of earrings in the shape of a jade vase with gold and jade, and remembered that it was her first servant. When I went to bed, I rewarded her things, and for so many years, I kept them intact as before, and my mind was slightly active, and I stretched out my hand again after a while and lifted it again, "Get up, stand up and say it well, you kneel like this, and I am tired with my head down." ”

This is a very homely word, Ying Guifei's heart moved, and she felt that there seemed to be some leeway, and she slowly stood up, not forgetting to tremble slightly.

The emperor said by the way: "Originally, my knees are not good, and I am still so formal, why bother." ”

Concubine Ying said softly: "The concubine originally came to ask for sin, and she didn't kneel, what kind of system did she become?" ”

The emperor said, "Well, since you have come to plead guilty, you will stand there and say it well." ”

Ying Guifei responded, "Yes." Your Majesty, the concubine came over, in fact, I just wanted to tell you that Rong Huan's matter, the concubine did not interfere, it was really a coincidence, so Concubine Pei made a death hand to her. Your Majesty, the disagreement between the concubine and Prince Gong's Mansion started with Yu Tao's matter, and the concubine was not afraid to say it, Yu Tao and Wan Mama were indeed the people sent by the concubine to Prince Gong's Mansion to take care of Chang Jue and his wife, but in the end, it became like this, and the concubine did not expect it. ”

"Since you are your person, I naturally listen to your orders, and you said that you were un......expected," the emperor shook his head, meaning that he did not believe it.

Concubine Ying smiled bitterly: "Yes, it is because the people in Prince Gong's Mansion are all selected by the concubines in the Internal Affairs Mansion, so whenever something happens, everyone will suspect the concubines, and the concubines will not be so stupid and put themselves on the cusp." ”

The Emperor let out an "um", as if convinced.

Concubine Ying continued to say: "The concubine will say something to you, Lan Yi and the concubine are often-for-tat, there is no half of what a junior should look like, the concubine really doesn't like her, but she doesn't like it, the concubine is an elder, can you really care about anything with them?" It's just a matter of pointing, and it will never harm people's lives. ”

The emperor felt that her words were very beautiful, and he didn't swear that he had nothing to do with Pei Miaoqing and Zizhu, but just analyzed the feelings in his heart earnestly, whether it was true or not, at least this kind of justification, the emperor loved to listen.
