Chapter 53: Concubine Ning's Accident
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with Concubine Hua's attitude of admitting her mistake, so she said: "Do you still receive the 'reward' of the mourning family?" β
Concubine Hua gritted her teeth, curtsy and said, "Concubine Xie Empress Dowager for her reward!" β
In the place where the Queen Mother didn't see it, although Zhao Kehan still had tears on his face, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In her opinion, Concubine Hua has a head and no brains, and she is easy to deal with; In terms of scheming, that Concubine Chen is not her opponent, only the one sitting next to her......
Thinking about it, Zhao Kehan glanced at the queen.
As if sensing Zhao Kehan's gaze, the queen turned her head to look at Zhao Kehan, smiled at her, and said softly: "Miss Zhao, Concubine Hua is straightforward, quick to talk, and she has no malicious intentions, please don't worry about her." β
When Zhao Kehan heard this, the sadness on his face was reduced a little.
She looked at the queen simply and said softly: "I see, thank you Queen." β
The queen smiled at her, and then turned her gaze away from her, and she looked at Zhao Kehan with the same eyes as when she saw her for the first time.
But back then, when the queen first married Jin Yantang, Zhao Kehan also went to make a big fuss about their cave room.
She thought that the queen was just a cowardly and ignorant woman, but now when she saw it, she was too naΓ―ve back then, and she didn't see that the queen was scheming, and her joy and anger were invisible.
I'm afraid that among the many concubines in this harem, there are very few people who can see through the true face of the queen, right?
After the Queen Mother punished Concubine Hua 300 times "The Female Ring", she was in a good mood, so she said to the concubines: "Today the weather is clear, and the lotus flowers in the imperial garden are also blooming. β
"The concubine obeys!"
The Queen Mother spoke, who would dare not obey?
The concubines are naturally good.
Hearing this, Zhao Kehan pressed away the tears on his face with a champana, and a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing her smile, the Queen Mother patted her hand and said with relief: "Han'er, it's good if you're happy." β
Zhao Kehan moved his lips and was about to speak.
Suddenly, a palace maid dressed in a lake-green palace dress broke in outside the door, her face was full of tears, crying and kneeling in the hall, begging the Queen Mother: "Please save the Queen Mother!" Ask the Queen Mother for help! Concubine Ning has already ...... It's already a miscarriage! β
As soon as the words fell, the palace maid knelt on the ground trembling again, crying with fear on her face.
"What? Concubine Ning had a miscarriage?! β
"Concubine Ning was fine a few days ago, why did it rain, Concubine Ning ...... it"
"Wait, this palace maid looks like she hasn't seen it!"
Suddenly, all the concubines and concubines were talking, and their faces were full of surprise.
The Queen Mother was talking to Zhao Kehan, but was interrupted by the palace maid, and her face immediately sank.
Seeing this, Mama Chen hurriedly recruited two palace maids to hold this person down: "Bold, dare to trespass into Cining Palace to disturb the queen mother, come and drag this palace maid down!" β
"Slow!"
Before they could make a move, they saw Concubine Hua stand up and stop them and said: "I have seen this palace maid, after Cui'er next to Concubine Ning's sister died, this Lu Xiang made up for Cui'er's position, and now, she is the palace maid in charge of Lanyue Palace!" β
Seeing that Concubine Hua was true, the Queen Mother couldn't help but jump her eyelids.
She walked down the steps, came to this Lu Xiang, looked at Lu Xiang condescendingly, and said, "You say it again, what's wrong with Concubine Ning?" β
While the Queen Mother was not paying attention, Concubine Hua glanced at Lu Xiang.
After Lu Xiang and Concubine Hua exchanged a look, they hurriedly lowered their heads and cried: "Concubine Ning Niangniang doesn't know what's going on these days, her body is getting weaker and weaker, just now, Concubine Ning Niangniang actually had a miscarriage!" The slave and maid really had no choice, so they came to Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother to be the master! β
When the Queen Mother heard this, she only felt a headache and couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows.
Mama Chen's expression tightened, and she was about to step forward to help her, but Zhao Kehan didn't know when she stepped down from the main seat, and took the queen mother in her hand one step ahead of her.
"Queen Mother, let's go and see Concubine Ning first, it sounds like she's in a bad situation."
Zhao Kehan said softly, the Queen Mother patted her chest, and after giving herself a sigh of relief, she pointed at Lu Xiang and said angrily: "The mourning family asks you, can Concubine Ning ask the imperial doctor to go for treatment?" Also, why didn't the imperial doctor who invited Concubine Ning to tell Concubine Ning's situation to the mourning family! β
Shang Kelan sat on the seat, took a sip of tea lightly, and the moment she lowered her head, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Today's matter is quite strange, first Zhao Kehan, and then Concubine Ning......
After Concubine Hua heard about Concubine Ning, there was no surprise on her face, as if she had expected this to happen.
Even the appearance of Lu Xiang and Concubine Hua when they exchanged glances just now, she also saw it in her eyes.
Lu Xiang was asked by the Queen Mother, and subconsciously choked: "Niangniang knew that her health was getting worse, and she was worried that letting the Queen Mother know about this matter would increase her worries, so she asked the slave to hide it and not tell anyone about it." β
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately flicked her sleeves and snorted coldly: "This Concubine Ning is really smart!" In addition, no one is allowed to say a word to Your Majesty about this matter, and after determining the situation of Concubine Ning, the Mourning family will explain the situation to Your Majesty, if anyone dares to chew the root of her tongue behind her back, the Mourning family will let her tongue be pulled out! β
As soon as these words came out, coupled with the cruelty in the queen mother's eyes, the concubines were suddenly silent and did not dare to say more.
Subsequently, Zhao Kehan helped the Queen Mother and went to Lanyue Palace with Lu Xiang.
A group of concubines also followed behind them, all wanting to go to Lanyue Palace to explore Concubine Ning's reality.
Inside the Lanyue Palace.
Concubine Ning lay weakly in the dormitory, blood staining her sickbed.
Li Chenxiu stood in front of her bed, looking at her with a complicated expression: "Yan'er, have you thought about it?" Once you do that, there's no going back. β
It's just that a few days have passed, Concubine Ning seems to have lost a lot of weight, and the originally quiet and graceful person is now thin and only skin and bones remain.
Like an apricot flower in the rain that is about to wither, Concubine Ning is wearing a white middle coat, looking at Li Chenxiu with a pale face: "Cousin, in my life, I have lost you after all, if I had not entered the palace back then, I would have been happy for my father's favor?" β
As she spoke, Concubine Ning's pupils dilated, as if she had fallen into some good memories, her chapped lips raised slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Li Chenxiu's eyes were moist, he lowered his head, held her hand and said, "The matter has come to this...... The past is gone, and now I just want to stay by your side and keep you safe. β
Hearing this, Concubine Ning slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "It's just that Concubine Chen, competing with me for favor and causing me to have a miscarriage, and her father is not good for my father...... One by one, one by one, I will never let her go, and Cui'er's life, I want her, blood debt and blood to pay! β
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Ning opened her eyes suddenly, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes.
In any case, she wants Concubine Chen to fall into the abyss of no return, Her Majesty is hers, and the honor and favor can only be hers!
Gradually, the futon was tightly held together by Concubine Ning, getting tighter and tighter, and the resentment in her heart spread more and more like this fold!
