Chapter 156: Dismantling the Defenses
He was gently wiping the sweat from Nalan Lan'er's forehead, but he could say such things to her indifferently.
She suddenly felt a little sad, as if the man in front of her who had been with her for more than ten years was so strange.
"The concubine knows it's wrong." After the queen said this, she closed the door and went out.
The two people in the room are sincere, how can they let her go? I'm afraid it's not that the room can't accommodate her, but that the emperor no longer has her in his heart.
Nalan Lan'er was lying on the bed drinking the medicine fed by Ye Wushuang, she had already said that she could get out of bed and walk around, but he still left her on the bed.
Watching the man carefully blow the medicinal soup cold, Nalan Lan'er smiled: "It's really like I'm a waste." β
Ye Wushuang said helplessly: "Who made you so reckless at that time, fortunately, the poison of the snake is not strong, and the late one is a highly poisonous snake, and your life will not be guaranteed." β
Nalan Lan'er blinked her eyes and said, "I didn't do it to save Lin'er, didn't you think that as long as I hesitated a little, it was Lin'er who was bitten this time, and he was so small that he could withstand the bite of a poisonous snake." β
Ye Wushuang was silent when he heard this, and Nalan Lan'er lowered her eyes in some disappointment. In fact, she has some unspeakable hopes in her heart, how she hopes that he can say that it is not more important than you.
But she knows that this idea is selfish, and in today's world, there are parents who can not think about their children. If you want to blame, you can only blame her own stomach for not fighting.
Later in the evening, the queen came to her bedchamber. Behind him, a string of people followed, holding trays of supplements in their hands.
As soon as the queen entered the door, she sat down unceremoniously, although her attitude was still arrogant, Nalan Lan'er could feel that she was already a little willing to have a heart-to-heart with her.
"Sister, don't get up. My sister came to send you some supplements this time, if you still lack anything in the dormitory, come to my Fengyi Palace to get it. The queen stopped Nalan Lan'er from getting up and saluting.
Nalan Lan'er didn't need to look at it, just by listening to the noisy footsteps outside the door, she knew how much tonic she had sent this time.
"Why bother my sister so much, the imperial doctor said that I only need to drink some decoction to be cured." A smile appeared on Nalan's pale face.
The queen smiled: "As long as it is a serious illness, you must nourish your body well, not to mention that you are also for Lin'er, so you don't bother to talk about anything." β
Nalan Lan'er propped herself up and leaned against the head of the bed, and said: "I should do this, for the sake of the emperor and the country, what is it if I am bitten by a snake?" β
The queen's expression was a little moved, her eyes wandered around, and she said, "Sister, thank you so much for this incident." If it weren't for you, the ending would be unimaginable. She grabbed Nalan Lan'er's hand at once and said, "Sister, just say what you want, this palace will definitely try its best to satisfy you." β
Nalan Lan'er smiled at the queen and said, "Sister, I don't ask for anything in return. β
The queen lowered her head and asked tentatively, "Does my sister want to restore the position of the concubine?" β
Nalan Lan'er shook her head and patted the queen's hand: "Sister, why don't you still understand your sister's mind?" The concubine has already figured it out. In the future, he will just wait for the emperor with peace of mind, and never ask for anything else. "Just ask for the queen's seat.
The queen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and still showed a look of pity on the surface: "My sister can be so generous, which is really gratifying to the palace." β
Nalan Lan'er sneered in her heart, and after continuing to chat with the queen for a few words, a eunuch outside announced: "The emperor has arrived-"
"Queen, you're here too." As soon as Ye Wushuang entered the door and lifted the bead curtain, he saw the queen sitting next to Nalan Lan'er.
When the queen saw that Ye Wushuang was coming, she hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then said, "Your Majesty, I brought some supplements for my sister." β
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang stared at Nalan Lan'er and said, "Yes, you just should take more supplements." β
Nalan Lan'er was a little helpless, these days and nights Wushuang didn't know how many supplements she had fed, and even she felt a lot rounder.
"Your Majesty, the concubines have something to ask for." Nalan Lan'er spoke.
Ye Wushuang nodded, stuffed her hand back into the quilt, and said, "Is there something wrong with you?" β
Nalan Lan'er glanced at the queen behind Ye Wushuang, and said word by word: "Lin'er is smart and clever, and the concubine thinks that when he grows up, he can be a generation of Ming monarchs like the emperor, so the concubine dares to ask the emperor to make Lin'er the crown prince and inherit the great cause in the future!" β
The queen asked her if she intended to continue to be a concubine, and she knew that this suspicious person would test her again. Instead of making the queen hesitate, it is better to take the initiative to pursue it herself.
With this heavy blow, she didn't believe that the queen would not surrender.
Sure enough, the queen was surprised at first when she heard her words, and then turned into a surprise on her face. But she didn't dare to say anything at this time, just looked at the emperor cautiously.
Although Ye Wushuang was also a little surprised in his heart, he didn't think much about it, he nodded and thought: "I do mean this, but Lin'er is still young, when he is older, let's settle this matter." β
The queen was a little disappointed, but as long as she could keep an eye on the harem, that group of women would never be able to give birth to a prince again. The future throne does not need to be said by the emperor, it will also be Lin'er's.
This incident made the queen have some changes in her opinion of Nalan Lan'er, and before leaving, she glanced at Nalan Lan'er meaningfully, but Nalan Lan'er pretended not to know and continued to chat with the emperor.
When the emperor went to bathe, Wan'er came in with a bowl of ginseng soup and smiled at Nalan Lan'er: "Niangniang, what the queen sent is really a good thing, the soup made from a hundred years of ginseng, you can taste it." β
Nalan Lan'er changed her weakness, sat up from the bed neatly, took the soup in Wan'er's hand and tasted it: "It tastes good, by the way, is the aftermath of that incident good?" β
Wan'er looked behind her and said cautiously, "Did Niangniang mean that snake dealer?" Rest assured, it's all taken care of. I promise that this thing will not leak out. β
Hearing this, Nalan Lan'er relieved her heart and drank the ginseng soup in the bowl in one go.
After handing the empty bowl to Wan'er, she said half-complainingly: "The snake dealer said that he caught seven inches, but it bit me before I touched the snake, doesn't it mean that the snake is not sensitive?" β
Wan'er smiled: "Where are there so many things that can fulfill your wishes?" The snake that was simply chosen was not very poisonous, and the mother only drank the medicine for a few days and was alive again. β
Nalan Lan'er sighed and said helplessly: "You're right, where can there be so many things that can fulfill your wishes." β
When Ye Wushuang came back, Wan'er had already left, Nalan Lan'er was lying lazily on the bed, and the dim candlelight shining on the beauty was particularly bewildering.
Ye Wushuang suddenly felt a little hot in his throat, and he slowly touched Nalan Lan'er's hand, and the red tent was full of spring.
After a few more days, Nalan Lan'er was allowed to get out of bed by Ye Wushuang's grace. After regaining her freedom, she happened to meet the queen who was walking by in a hurry in the imperial garden, and hurriedly greeted her.
"The concubine meets the queen." After Shi Shi Shi was done, she asked, "Sister, why is this in such a hurry?" β
When the queen saw that it was her, she also paused and said with a smile: "It turned out to be my sister, and there is nothing big about it, but there are a new batch of show girls in the palace recently." β
Nalan Lan'er knew that this matter was not simple when she looked at the queen's tightly knit brows, but since the other party didn't want to say more, she could only pretend that she didn't know.
She guessed right, the queen did have something hidden in her heart. It's not a big deal to be a show girl in the palace, but the bad thing is that there is a woman who is not only beautiful, but also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The queen wants to strangle this future opponent in the cradle, but the other party's reputation is not small, and if she does something, the emperor will definitely blame it. That's what makes her miserable.
Looking at Nalan Lan'er in front of her, the queen's lips moved, and she wanted to say that the emperor would restore her position as a concubine, and the two of them would go together to deal with that talented girl. But as soon as this idea came to mind, she shattered it.
"Sister, if there is something in this palace, I will leave first." The queen smiled and left.
She can't be soft, and she definitely can't give Nalan Lan'er a chance to turn over.
Seeing the queen walking away, Nalan Lan'er glanced at Wan'er, and Wan'er understood, and hurriedly went to inquire about what happened to those show girls.
"That's it? Would the queen be so troubled by that talented girl? Nalan Lan'er covered her mouth and smiled. This queen really can't get on the stage, although she is smart enough, her heart is too narrow.
"Yes, I heard that the queen tried her best to torture that show girl." Wan'er returned.
Nalan Lan'er nodded, thought for a while and said to Wan'er: "Although the queen's attitude towards me has improved a lot, she is still a little wary of me. If I want to break this last guard, I need to strike a blow. β
Wan'er said tentatively: "Niangniang, do you mean to help the queen solve that show girl?" β
Nalan Lan'er smiled but didn't answer, stood up and walked to the window before saying, "You go and investigate the back of the show girl. Jing, we have the right medicine. β
"Yes, sissy."
A few days later, Nalan Lan'er was leisurely drinking tea in the room, and the tea was the flower tea that the emperor specially purchased for her. Holding a book of anecdotes in her hand, Nalan Lan'er was very comfortable drinking tea while reading a book.
A shrill shout broke the silence: "The Queen Mother has arrivedβ"
Before the sound had died down, the queen rushed in.
"Sister, did you remove the name of the show girl Shen Yulian?" The queen asked eagerly.
Nalan Lan'er nodded and said, "That's right, sister." Is there anything wrong? β
At that moment, the expression on the queen's face could not tell whether she was happy or irritable, her expression changed back and forth, and it took her a while to stabilize her emotions.
"Sister, I don't know. This show girl is too famous. This removal will inevitably fall into the ears of the emperor, if the emperor blames him, what can you let me do! The queen waved her sleeves and said helplessly.
Nalan Lan'er smiled toothlessly, and said softly: "Sister, this woman is unwanted." She has been correspondingly with a man outside the palace for a long time, and the two are afraid that they have a personal relationship. β
