Because of the previous edict, the concubines in the main hall were almost gone, even if a few hesitated and didn't want to leave, they were called into the dormitory by Xie Danniang, and they didn't give any face, scolded fiercely, and directly ordered someone to coax out the door. It's not that she doesn't let them stay here, this is the emperor's intention, and a certain Fei still wants to go against the emperor's will

Xie Danniang estimated that the emperor had been staying in the queen's residence for the past few days, and wanted to find a quiet place, and even the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the bedroom were also cleared by Xie Danniang, leaving only Xiaoruo, Qian'er and Yu'er by their side.

As soon as Lan Shikang walked into the outside of Lanxiao Palace, he met several harem concubines dressed up in fancy clothes, and they "happened" to pass by here. If it is bright and sunny now, it can still remind people of the atmosphere of spring, but now that Sheng Yan is at the head, the makeup on the faces of the concubines with heavy makeup is either the eyebrows of the distant mountains, or the powder on the face has fallen, which is really unappetizing.

After a few casual sentences, Lan Shikang entered the dormitory of Lan Xiao Palace directly. There were a lot of ice basins here, and the whole room was cool and tight, and his concubine was lying on the bed, smiling decently.

It's just that I don't know why, seeing this scene, Lan Shikang remembered the overturned ice basin in the cold palace, and the face of the former queen who was terrified and refused to close her eyes.

The smile on Xie Danniang's face became more and more stiff, and she almost couldn't hang it anymore. originally thought that the emperor should be happy to come this time, but the emperor's eyes when he looked at her really made her feel a little terrifying, even if she wanted to be happy, she couldn't be happy.

"Emperor" Xie Danniang put away the smile on her face, and when she saw Lan Shikang standing motionless and looking at her not far away, she shouted quite cautiously.

Lan Shikang immediately smiled back, as if his gloomy face just now had never existed at all: "Concubine Ai's body has been better these days" As he spoke, he sat down at Xie Danniang's nearest place.

"Thanks to the emperor's busy schedule, he is still thinking about the body of his concubine, and the concubine is very frightened." Xie Danniang said a few words, and then continued: "Although it is still inconvenient to stay at will, it is still much better than before. ”

At this time, the fetus in Xie Danniang's womb was still less than four months old, and naturally it would not show the shape of the fetus. But the emperor sat on the side, and asked about her body again, Xie Danniang stiffened her stomach inadvertently, and she was very glorious.

Lan Shikang frowned and said, "Originally, all matters in the palace were in the hands of the first queen, but now that she has gone, she has left a big stall. In the harem now, you are in a high position, if it is on weekdays, it should be in your charge, but seeing you like this, I can't disturb your rest with these tedious things. Let Grandpa Zhang take a good look at it for you, and then talk about it when you can take over in the future."

"Concubines, thank you for the emperor's compassion." The expression on Xie Danniang's face was a little indescribably awkward, as if she had eaten a fly and had to swallow it.

Since it is said that the first queen, Xie Danniang naturally wants to commend herself: "On the day the first queen left the palace, the concubine still remembered the past and wanted to send one, but the imperial doctors in the hospital did not allow it, saying that the concubine's body is not allowed now." In desperation, the concubine asked someone close to her to send it instead of the concubine, which was a little heart. Saying that, Xie Danniang looked very sad.

"Oh," Lan Shikang raised his eyes in some surprise and looked at the three palace maids standing on the side.

Qian'er and Yu'er have long been like those concubines in the main hall, dressing themselves up carefully every day, maybe when they will be able to win the emperor's favor in front of the imperial concubine Niangniang, and inherit the dragon grace rain and dew all night. At this time, seeing Lan Shikang looking at him, he raised his head shyly, his eyes dodging, but he did not leave his face.

And Xiao Ruo, who was standing with them, seemed a little simple at this time. Although the hair on his head was combed in the same bun as the two of them, he simply inserted a jade hairpin of average color, and he never saw the shadow of a silk flower, his hands hung down in front of him in a regular manner, and he stood aside with low eyebrows, wishing to be invisible.

"But one of the three of you," Lan Shikang asked with interest.

Xiao Ruo's face with his head lowered was quite helpless, but in just a moment, he returned to normal. Xiao Ruo stepped forward a few steps, knelt on the ground, and said, "It was the slave who was instructed by the imperial concubine Niangniang to send the first queen that day." ”

Since the two antidotes were sent out of the palace in two ways, the burden in Xiao Ruo's heart has fallen. From that day on, she just wanted to stay quietly by Xie Danniang's side, and didn't want to attract anyone's attention, let alone Lan Shikang.

She wanted to go out of the palace with the antidote, but she helped Xie Danniang and Concubine Shu to do so many unsightly things, how could they rest assured that she would be let out of the palace unless she was sent out lying down.

She also thought about Li Yanxu, but as soon as she came, it was inconvenient for men in the harem to enter, and as soon as Jiang Ruyue died, Jiang Qinghua had no reason to enter the palace, and Li Yanxu naturally found it difficult to see her; Second, the first queen has just died, and everyone in the entire harem is in danger, Lan Shikang looks at nothing, but just for the funeral of the first queen, I don't know how many eunuchs and palace maids she killed, she doesn't want to commit crimes against the wind; Moreover, Jiang Qinghua has a very close relationship with Jiang Ruyue's aunt and niece, and now that she killed Li Yanxu's wife's aunt, she doesn't want to ask Li Yanxu anymore.

Here, Xiao Ruo saw that the emperor had pointed to her head, and she couldn't say anything about the bitterness in her heart; And the two of them hated Xiao Ruo even more, and they wished that they were the ones who went to send the queen that day.

"You get up," Lan Shikang waved his hand at Xiao Ruo, and continued: "Concubine Ai also has a heart. I thought Lan Shikang would say something, but he just nodded casually, and then looked at Xie Danniang and said.

"The concubine is ashamed." Xie Danniang was praised and was comfortable. At the same time, she looked at Xiao Ruo's eyes and was even more satisfied, if it wasn't for Xiao Ruo's proposal that day, she would never have thought of getting the emperor's other eyes with this matter.

"Actually, I came here today, in addition to seeing Aifei, there is another thing I want to ask Aifei." Lan Shikang raised his eyebrows, looked at Xie Danniang and asked.

"I don't know what the emperor wants to ask his ministers and concubines, and the concubines must know everything and say everything." Xie Danniang was in a good mood, and she didn't notice anything wrong with Lan Shikang's expression.

"I also said just now that the affairs of the harem have now been handed over to Gonggong Zhang for temporary handling, and this matter should have been returned to his concubine. It's just that since I'm here today, I just ask. Speaking of this, Lan Shikang's words paused: "In the past few days, the number of people in each palace has been recounted, and Concubine Ai knows that there is a mother-in-law in charge of cleaning in the front yard of Lanxiao Palace, where has he gone" Lan Shikang said while looking at all the people in the house.

I saw that Xie Danniang's face was still smiling, but it was not as relaxed as just now. There was a strong sense of composure in his eyes, but he still leaked a trace of panic.

And the two palace maids looked a little foggy, I don't know if they were wondering when the emperor would care about which palace was less or less a rough mother-in-law, or who the emperor was talking about. It doesn't look like it's pretending.

As for the mute girl who replied just now, it made Lan Shikang a little concerned. If this person has always been so cowardly and cautious, then that's fine, but when he mentioned the mother-in-law cleaning in the front yard just now, the woman's hand hanging down in front of her clearly moved inadvertently. Could it be another coincidence?

This time, Xie Danniang learned to be obedient, and did not answer directly, but said tactfully: "The emperor should also know, the concubines can only lie on the bed these days to recuperate, and how can there be several people away from the mother-in-law who cleans the front yard of those mundane things, and the concubines don't know who the emperor is talking about." It's better to wait for the emperor to leave, and the concubine will order someone to find out, and then turn around and tell Gonggong Zhang what the emperor thinks"

In fact, Concubine Shu was afraid that such a scene would occur somewhere, so she told Xie Danniang, and she had to say that she didn't know anyway. There are so many people serving in each palace, and there are often a few who stumble and fall into the river, get sick and die, where are there so many people who can speak clearly and clearly

"If it's an ordinary person who doesn't see, I don't want to ask my concubine. It's just that Gonggong Zhang found out that the missing person was actually the biological mother of the palace maid Le'er who had just been executed not long ago, and I felt that Na Le'er had served the concubine for so long, so she must have known her" Lan Shikang bluntly said who the missing person was.

"Le'er, the palace maid who was just executed not long ago", "The missing is Le'er's biological mother". The latter, maybe Xiao Ruo won't feel anything yet, Ke Le'er was obviously sent out of the palace by Concubine Shu, how could Lan Shikang say that Le'er was just executed not long ago Xiao Ruo stood in place, if it weren't for someone else here, she really wanted to look up and ask Xie Danniang, where Le'er's mother and daughter are now

Lan Shikang is so straightforward, obviously he wants to ask the answer directly from Xie Danniang. If Xie Danniang still plans to mess around, then there will be ghosts

Ignoring what the dumb girl on the side thought, Xie Danniang directly pushed the matter onto Concubine Shu and said, "If it is someone else, the concubine doesn't know yet." It's just that Na Le'er put salvia in the fetal medicine of the concubine and wanted to kill the prince. The emperor should know, on weekdays, my aunt loves her concubines the most, she said that if there is a daughter, there must be a mother, so she scolded the mother-in-law, who knew that she would lose her breath like this. The concubines only know this, if the emperor wants to ask something, the concubines don't know. ”

Xie Danniang looked at Lan Shikang's face cautiously, but she never saw the reason. After waiting for a long time, Lan Shikang said five words lightly: "So that's the case." ”

I don't know if I have passed the test, Xie Danniang didn't dare to say another word from that moment on, let alone want to have a good chat with the emperor before.
