Chapter 40: The Queen's Stratagem I

Concubine Zhuang's Qiushuang Hall is always so quiet, just like her character. But since Xue Cigege has had a lot of joy, Concubine Zhuang has become much more cheerful and her complexion has improved.

I walked into Concubine Zhuang's inner room, Concubine Zhuang was gently patting Xue Ci who was sleeping, with a look of love on the corner of her mouth with low eyebrows. Xue Ci's pink little face was sleeping with a cherry mouth, and her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Concubine Jian.

I sat down next to Concubine Zhuang gently, and Concubine Zhuang smiled softly when she saw me, lest she wake up Xue Ci.

Concubine Zhuang took Xue Ci to the nursing mother next to her to take care of, and then said: "Xiao Gege can eat and sleep all day long, and he doesn't have to worry too much about this palace." ”

"The more Sister Zhuang looks at it, the more she looks like a mother, and it is most suitable to entrust Xue Ci to you." I said, arranging the little clothes in my hand.

Concubine Zhuang said with a smile: "I didn't expect to hear a child call me Eniang in this life in this palace, thanks to you, I will definitely treat this child well in order to live up to Xue Ci's dead Eniang." ”

I nodded, and Concubine Zhuang pulled me and said kindly: "I know all about what I promised, but if I were you, I would do the same, in my opinion, she must be behind her like a concubine." ”

"Before Concubine Jian died, she warned me to be careful like a concubine, I am not her opponent, and I can't fight her at all." I bowed my head and said.

Concubine Zhuang said thoughtfully: "Now that the queen is sick day by day, to say something rebellious, this is by no means a good sign, such as the concubine is about to monopolize power." ”

What Concubine Zhuang said is what I want to say, we don't dare to talk about it, so I changed my words and said, "Why don't you see Sister Xun?" ”

Concubine Zhuang sighed and said, "It's not that Xue Xun is sick, Xue Xun has been weak since she was a child, and she doesn't like to talk, so she is not at all different from her mother's temperament." ”

I nervously asked, "Sick?" But does it matter? "I have also had a few encounters with Xuejun, and I am a very well-behaved and docile child, and I have a good impression of it

"It's just a fever, so it probably doesn't matter." Concubine Zhuang said.

The jade in Concubine Zhuang's palace hurriedly walked in and said, "Niangniang, I heard the forsythia next to Concubine Xun say that Xue Junge had smallpox. ”

Concubine Zhuang's pale face turned pale, "This, how is this good?" I clenched Concubine Zhuang's hand, and I was also worried.

Concubine Zhuang and I hurried to Concubine Xun's inner room, Concubine Xun sat on the Nanmu chair and cried in a low voice, and the sound of crying when she saw me and Concubine Zhuang coming over was even louder.

"Niangniang, if something happens to Xuejun, what is the point of my life." The makeup on Concubine Xun's face also cried, and she was at a loss for what to do while holding Concubine Zhuang's hand.

I comforted Concubine Xun and said, "Sister, don't cry first, Gege is young and careless, if we cry here, it will scare her." ”

Concubine Xun seemed to think that what I said made sense, gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and stood in the distance looking at Xue Xun lying on the bed, her face full of acne sores, and her heart became more and more pityful.

"This doesn't necessarily mean that he is not saved, the Holy Ancestor Emperor also suffered from smallpox when he was a child but was also cured, and Xue Xun is not a blessed person." Concubine Zhuang comforted Concubine Xun.

At this time, I can only resign myself to fate, and I can only see if Xue Xun can survive it, and it will be useless to take any medicine.

Two palace maids and four guards hurriedly came in from outside the door, and after saluting us, they said: "We were ordered by the noble concubine to visit Gege, and the lady ordered us to move Gege to the algae pavilion in Nanshui Yuan for the sake of Gege's body." ”

When Concubine Xun heard this, she immediately became angry and said, "Nanshui Garden? In such a remote place, this is clearly isolating Xuejun, isn't this killing her! ”

"What does the emperor say, the emperor will not agree to do this as a concubine." I said calmly on the side.

The palace maid opened her mouth and said: "The queen is seriously ill, and the affairs of the harem are all taken care of by the concubine, which is promised by the emperor, and the slaves and maids are just acting on orders." ”

The two palace maids walked to the side of the bed, and the concubine walked up to her and slapped the one, saying, "Dog slave, whose order are you!" She is the emperor's daughter, see which of you dares to move! ”

Although the palace maid was beaten, she still said word by word: "The concubine is also for the sake of being good, please don't embarrass the slaves." ”

Concubine Zhuang said coldly on the side: "Embarrassed? Ru Guifei is also a person who is a mother, how can she not know the heart of being a mother, this is clearly to think about what is the place of Xuejun South Water Garden, this palace will not know if you want to be a concubine. ”

Nanshui Yuan was originally a palace near the water, with beautiful scenery, but the location was remote and no one went there, so the palace simply sent people with infectious diseases there for isolation.

Then a few more fathers-in-law came in, regardless of the obstruction of the concubine to lift Gege up, the concubine had no choice but to shout: "Whoever dares to touch the palace will kill whom!" "Where do these minions care about this disgraced and disgraced mother.

"Who gave you minions the guts to move Xue Jungege." At the door of the hall, there was the voice of the queen's mother.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the queen, and then knelt down and saluted, and the concubine ran to the queen as if she had been savior, crying, "Queen,."

The queen only looked at these minions, and said majestically: "Nanshuiyuan is a place for slaves, go back and tell your master, although Concubine Xun has fallen out of favor, Xue Xun is still the emperor's character, and the palace is not dead, so she doesn't have to be in such a hurry to take power!" ”

The palace maids and eunuchs retreated like frosted eggplants.

The queen glanced at Xue Xun and said distressedly: "Where is this imperial doctor?" Why is there no doctor on duty? ”

"There is a doctor on duty, I went to boil the medicine, and after only a while, I sent someone over for the concubine." Concubine Xun said.

The queen sighed, "This child is afraid of smallpox, and if he has a good fate, he will walk around the ghost gate, and if his fate is not good, he will die like this." ”

Concubine Xun glanced at Xue Xun with tears, and wished that she would go to Xue Xun to get smallpox, and Xue Xun was Concubine Xun's life.

I looked at the queen and seemed to be a lot thinner and haggard, she glanced at me and said, "Concubine Jin is also here, it just so happens that the palace is looking for you to talk about something." ”

I nodded in agreement, and helped the queen out of the residence of the concubine and went to Qiancuiyuan.

The queen looked at the elegant Qiancuiyuan and said: "This palace is the first time to come here, it seems that the emperor is very attentive to you." ”

I smiled and said nothing, and the queen coughed lightly and said, "A year ago, you promised this palace to be a person from this palace, and this palace has not asked you to do anything for more than a year. ”

I lowered my eyebrows and said respectfully: "What does the queen have to tell her concubines not to give up." ”

"The days of this palace are coming to an end, when the palace returns to heaven, the harem must be like a concubine covering the sky with one hand, this palace hopes that you can restrain her, and you must not let her be the queen." A hint of coldness flashed in the queen's eyes.

The queen's words caught me by surprise, and she was taken aback and said: "Queen Mother, how can a concubine be such a concubine's opponent?" ”

The queen said lightly: "As long as Mianning of this palace successfully ascends to the throne, this palace will be blind in Jiuquan, and after more than a year of observation, this palace believes that only you have this ability." ”

The only reason why the queen is afraid of Ru Guifei being the queen is for Mianning, if Ru Guifei becomes the queen, then her son will be the biggest threat to Mianning.
