Chapter 123: The Imperial Concubine is seriously ill
In addition to the Huayan Palace, which will be lively when the emperor arrives, there are frequent visitors tonight.
Wan'er watched the night getting darker, afraid that Fengyun would get cold, so she whispered in her ear that Chao Yixin was shorter and turned away.
Nalan Lan'er heard that the little maid outside the door came to report again, and the maid of Fengyun Palace asked to see her. His eyes swept Yixin without a trace and responded, "Xuan." ”
Nalan Lan'er looked at Yixin with a smile and said, "It's been a long time since my Huayan Palace has been so lively. ”
I still remember that the queen had a miscarriage. A large number of people, including the emperor, walked into this Huayan Palace and said that they were looking for some evidence, and then she came out of the cold palace.
The court has been deserted to the point that she likes it, and since the emperor favors her, she can only use this favor to seek a position in this harem.
Yixin heard that Chunmei was coming, and her expression was no different. looked at Nalan Lan'er and said with a smile: "That's my sister's indifferent heart, and there are so many people outside the door who want to see her." ”
It didn't take long for Chunmei to walk into the front of the main hall with small steps, and after saluting in a proper manner, she looked up and saw that Nalan Lan'er was sitting opposite Yixin.
After a short period of consternation, Chunmei hurriedly bowed her head and saluted again.
Nalan Lan'er pretended not to see Chunmei's reaction. Yixin looked at Chunmei with a smile, and the smiling people didn't know what she was thinking.
Yixin exempted Chunmei's gift, in this Huayan Palace, Nalan Lan'er is the master, and Yixin naturally asked Chunmei what she was doing. She was also sure that Nalan Lan'er would take the initiative to ask the maid.
But Nalan Lan'er didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask, but just smiled to alleviate the fear of the maid in front of her and asked, "Sister Fengyun's body is okay?" ”
Chunmei replied with a bow: "Back to Niangniang, the little master's body can't move for the time being." ”
Nalan Lan'er looked sympathetic: "Why is Fengyun so careless." You have to take good care of it."
Chunmei answered yes and then lost her voice. I wanted to say something, but I saw that Yixin was a little hesitant. Seems to be thinking about something big.
Fengyun told her to come to Huayan Palace quietly at night, tell Nalan Lan'er about today's incident, and see if there is a good solution.
But this ...... She never thought that Yixin Niangniang would also be in Huayan Palace this night. I ran out of ideas for a while.
In the main hall, because of the mystery of the gods when Yixin first came, he had already ordered the other minions out. There were only three people left.
Chunmei thought, anyway, Yixin Niangniang already knows, and it doesn't matter if she goes out and says it again.
But just as she was about to speak, a man came in at the door. This look directly closed Chunmei's mouth steadily.
Wan'er nodded naturally when she looked at her, and then walked to Nalan Lan'er's side and put on a mink for her.
The most unnatural one present now was Chunmei, and the three of them stood opposite each other and looked at her, all waiting for her to speak.
The time for a cup of tea passed, and there was a cold sweat behind Chunmei Station, and Nalan Lan'er looked at this stalemate, and lost the interest of waiting.
Then he said: "It's getting darker, Chunmei should go back and look at Sister Fengyun earlier, and now Sister Fengyun needs the most manpower at this time." You'll have to be careful. ”
Chunmei had no choice, and Fu Shen answered. turned around and left silently.
It wasn't until Chunmei's figure disappeared into the Huayan Palace that Nalan Lan'er looked at Yixin and said, "Sister, let's rest early." ”
Yixin nodded reluctantly, but still looked at Nalan Lan'er and said, "Sister Fengyun's matter, what does my sister think?" ”
Nalan Lan'er sighed and said: "Sister Fengyun's injury is naturally to be taken care of, sister should go back to the palace earlier, the deeper the night, the more frozen it is, carefully and accidentally frozen, ordinary people suffer more." ”
After speaking, he didn't dare to react pleasantly, and was directly helped by Wan'er to the inner bedroom. Yixin looked at her back and didn't react no matter what she thought, could it be that this Nalan Lan'er wanted to act as if she hadn't heard her say it?
Hum! Cowardice so! She was still counting on how she would react. still figured out that he teamed up with himself and brought down the queen.
It wasn't until she couldn't see Nalan Lan'er's figure that Yixin left the main hall alone, and the maidservant who was guarding the door immediately followed closely behind her and returned to Huaqing Palace together.
As the days passed, the silence in the harem felt suffocating. The queen mother, Yixin, including Nalan Lan'er, except for the occasional greeting. No more communication.
The queen mother is waiting to catch someone's handle, Yixin can't find anyone to stir up the wind and waves, Nalan Lan'er is a popular woman when she is still idle, walking around, and the most common thing to do every day is to wait for the emperor to step every day.
Huayan Palace can quietly usher in the emperor's bright and yellow figure every day.
Fengyun's injury gradually healed in this seemingly calm day.
On this day of celebration, there was bad news.
The Empress Dowager is enjoying her peace in Cining Palace, starting from a young and beautiful girl in the palace for decades of step-by-step camping, exhausting this life to occupy the main position in this harem. Both sons sat on the Son of Heaven.
Thinking of the past, the Queen Mother also began to be sentimental.
At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in to meet him.
"See the queen mother, the imperial concubine is seriously ill!"
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother immediately stood up and said sharply: "What did you say! ”
didn't have time to say more, she hurried to the imperial concubine, and a group of servants behind her were catching up with her.
In this palace, only that person is special. She and hers are neither friends nor enemies. It's just that I've been fighting for most of my life.
Led by the little eunuch, when the queen mother rushed to the imperial concubine, she found that this woman, who was once on par with herself, lived in such a depressed place.
Since she was made the queen mother, she has not seen her again. No matter how you say it, it was all fighting back then. Somehow, they became old and dead.
Stepping into the room, the smell of herbs came to my nose, and there was a person lying on the bed, covered with a quilt or two, and only after approaching did I see the emaciated appearance.
"After all these years, you're still the same as before, just a little plumper than before."
The imperial concubine saw the person standing next to the bed and smiled. It didn't take long for him to laugh before he coughed violently.
The queen mother looked at the person on the bed, He Zeng's shadow back then, emaciated and dry.
"With such a big palace, don't you have a meal to eat! It's so thin! The words were harsh, but her eyes were full of tears, and she refused to shed them, looking very stubborn. The queen mother, who was calm and introverted before, didn't know why she was in pain at this moment.
The imperial concubine stopped coughing and smoothed her throat and said, "Your palace is good at everything, it's just like a cage, trapping me in this life." ”
"I don't know why, these days I've carefully filtered our past in my mind, probably knowing that I have reached the limit, just like watching the lights."
The Queen Mother sat softly on the edge of her bed, looking at her face, which was almost shriveled and stuck to her bones. Shaking his head: "I also remembered before I came, you were a hundred times more beautiful than you are now." You must not have looked in the mirror, have you? Ugly, even the ugliest palace maid was prettier than you. ”
The imperial concubine no longer had the strength to raise her hand to touch her face, but when she heard the queen mother talk about the ugliest palace maid in the past, she also laughed.
"That palace maid doesn't know how she got in through layers of checkpoints, I still remember that every palace disliked her, and finally Huanyi Courtyard accepted her. Not long after, he was disgusted that his clothes couldn't be washed clean, so he was sent out. At that time, I was still thinking that this palace maid was really pitiful and kicked out of the palace. Here she paused, and then looked at the Queen Mother and shed a tear: "In the end, I realized that I was the most pitiful." ”
The queen mother patted her quilt with her hand, and she also had the sourness of the past in her heart: "I also kicked that palace maid, I don't know how she is doing outside now." ”
The imperial concubine said: "Anyway, she won't be scolded if she's so ugly, she may meet a good person or marry a stinky man." In short, she must have experienced a life that I had never experienced before. ”
I don't know if it's a return to the light, the imperial concubine, who usually struggles to even speak, actually said a lot of words today. His face seemed to be a little red.
The Queen Mother was happy when she saw her, but she couldn't be happy in her heart. Having seen too many things, she understood what it was for a seriously ill person to suddenly be so energetic.
Then he interrupted her memories and sighed, "Why don't you call the imperial doctor." ”
The imperial concubine looked at the queen mother like this: "This disease can't be cured, I don't know what it means to live like this, what is the meaning of being alone, accompanied by two maidservants." Day after day, year after year. ”
"I still want to fight with you like I did back then." The Queen Mother looked far away.
"But we're not young anymore, and there's no reason for us to keep bickering." The corners of the imperial concubine's eyes gradually moistened, and one hand tried to stretch out in the quilt, but she probably didn't have the strength.
When the queen mother saw it, she hurriedly lifted the quilt in a corner and pulled her hand out.
Hands clasped, one cold has been warm.
"I still remember that in the past, we didn't like each other, and the emperor didn't like the quarrel of women in the harem. One time we almost got into a fight, and the emperor suddenly appeared, and for the first time we pretended to be friendly and clasped hands together, but as soon as the emperor left, we were thrown away as if we had accidentally touched something. ”
The imperial concubine said that the eyes of the princess had gradually lost their confusion.
The Queen Mother hurriedly pulled her hand tightly and shouted, "You're not tired yet." ”
The imperial concubine's eyes condensed some focus again: "You are still the same as before, against me everywhere." Now I'm sleepy and want to sleep, and I'm still blocked. ”
But then she said, "But thank you for waking me up, the only one I know in this huge palace is you." Now I suddenly realized that it is meaningless for me to fight with you all my life. ”
The Queen Mother's tears fell down.
On the occasion of her death, the imperial concubine seemed to have exhausted her strength. Pulling the queen mother's hand tightly, she said: "Queen, I want to be friends with you but become an enemy, if there is an afterlife, I will not be a concubine!" ”
The last sentence is what she wants to say the most, if there is an afterlife, she will not be a concubine!
Seeing the hand holding her hand slowly slipping down, the Queen Mother cried: "Everyone in the world says that the palace is a place of glory and wealth, who understands the sorrow of this harem." ”
After a while, the queen mother wiped away her tears, and the emperor also rushed over. Helping up his mother, he didn't have much impression of this imperial concubine, and he felt miserable when he saw her when she died.
I couldn't help but think that the last time Lan'er was on the line of life and death in the cold palace, her heart was about to break. If he hadn't taken Lan'er out of the cold palace at that time, I don't know if Lan'er's fate would have been the same.
No, he's definitely not going to let that happen.
The queen mother cried for a while, wiped her crying red eyes and said: "Emperor, the imperial concubine died of illness, and the whole palace should wear filial piety." ”
The emperor was full of promises, for fear that the queen mother would cry and break her body.
The whole palace has filial piety, and this matter is handed over to the queen. Something is finally going to happen in the harem that has been quiet for several days.
