In the middle of the night, it was even deeper, and everything was silent.

The palace people in the Hanxiang Palace all slept, and Qin Se was still guarding Concubine Mei's bed.

Concubine Mei didn't sleep well in a drowsy state, turning over from time to time, her forehead was full of cold sweat, and she whispered from time to time: "Ah Hong, I didn't mean to force you to ......"

"Ah Hong, you have to be the master of the concubine......"

"Xie Mingxi, you deceive people too much!"

The last sentence was suddenly shouted, and in the quiet and peaceful night, it was quite surprising.

Qin Se was so frightened that she fell asleep, and hurriedly wrung a warm towel, wiped the cold sweat for Concubine Mei, and coaxed softly: "Is Concubine Niangniang having a nightmare?" ”

Concubine Mei breathed a few times rapidly, and opened her eyes blankly and dejectedly. Seeing Qin Se's familiar face, Concubine Mei felt sour and aggrieved, tears fell in her eyes, and she began to cry.

"What did I do wrong?"

"That Xie Mingxi, kept saying that I didn't understand Ah Hong's mind, and said that I persecuted Ah Hong with the love of mother and son. also said that when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turn against each other, the mother and son will also be completely separated. ”

"It's a threat to warn me!"

"In the world, how can there be such a daughter-in-law? How can I have such an aggrieved mother-in-law......"

Concubine Mei was really frightened, her body kept trembling, her speech was intermittent, and she soon stopped talking.

Seeing that the master was scared like this, Qin Se's heart was sour, and he had to cheer up and comfort Concubine Mei: "Concubine Niangniang doesn't have to take these words to heart. The emperor is the most filial, and he will not ignore his mother. ”

Concubine Mei's biggest reliance is her son. If the emperor completely stood on the queen's side, how could Concubine Mei be Queen Xie's opponent?

Concubine Mei cried for half the night, her voice was almost hoarse, and then she fell asleep again.

……

Qin Se was tossed and did not sleep for most of the night, and on the second day, he was top-heavy and his eyes were black.

Luo Mei, the palace maid beside her, looked wrong, and poked her forehead for Qin Se, and was suddenly startled: "Sister Qin Se's forehead is hot, I'm afraid she has a fever." We're waiting for you here, so let's go and rest quickly! ”

More than a month ago, the palace maids in Hanxiang Palace were replaced. Now the people who are serving in the Hanxiang Palace are all young palace maids. are also the queen's mothers. Luomei is one of the most clever.

Qin Se still tried to support himself, but his legs went limp, and he almost fainted. Fortunately, Luo Mei quickly grabbed her arm and hurriedly sent her back to the bedroom.

Concubine Mei didn't wake up until noon, and when she woke up and didn't see Qin Se, she panicked and immediately opened her mouth to ask, "Where is Qin Se?" ”

The voice is hoarse and obscure.

Luo Mei replied respectfully: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, Sister Qin Se is unwell today, has a high fever, and went back to the house to rest." ”

The master and servant have been together for many years, and the weight of Qin Se in Concubine Mei's heart is self-evident. When Concubine Mei heard that Qin Se was sick, she immediately became anxious: "Let Imperial Doctor Li go and take a look at Qin Se." ”

Luo Mei looked embarrassed, and responded softly: "The life of the concubine, the slave and maid dare not refuse." It's just that the mother should also know the rules in the palace. When the palace maids are sick, how can there be a reason for the imperial doctor to see the doctor in person. Otherwise, the slave maid will go to the Jiaofang Palace to report to the queen's mother......"

When it comes to the queen's mother, Concubine Mei's blood is surging, and she is angry.

A mere slave and maid dared to rely on Xie Mingxi's momentum to bully her, a concubine!

Concubine Mei interrupted Luo Mei without saying anything: "Bastard thing! How dare you not listen to what the mourners say! Immediately let Imperial Doctor Li go to see Qin Se, delayed Qin Se's illness, and the mourning family asked for you! ”

Luomei had to kneel down and plead guilty: "Please calm the anger of the concubine." How dare the slave and maid disobey the order of the concubine, the slave and maid will go to ask Imperial Doctor Li. ”

Concubine Mei calmed down a little at this time.

……

Obviously, this tone was calmed down too soon.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Se was removed from the Hanxiang Palace and went to the place where the palace maids were recuperating.

Empress Xie personally gave an edict, and the reason was bright and high-sounding: "The mother concubine is still sick, and her body is weak, so she must not be sick again." After Qin Se recovers from his illness, it is not too late to return to Hanxiang Palace to serve. ”

When Concubine Mei knew about this, Qin Se had already been taken out of the Hanxiang Palace.

Concubine Mei was so angry and angry that she almost fainted again.

Xie Mingxi's move is really ruthless!

The old people around her were gone, and only Qin Se was left. As soon as Qin Se left, there was no one around her to talk to relieve her boredom......

It's a pity that Queen Xie didn't come to visit the patient as diligently as in the past, and only sent Xianghui once. The Son of Heaven was busy preparing for the war, and he could not come to the Hanxiang Palace.

Gonggong Wei came to greet Concubine Mei on behalf of the Son of Heaven: "...... There was a civil unrest in Jindi, and the emperor was so busy for this matter that he didn't sleep well for several days. I heard that the concubine was sick, and the emperor had no time to come for a while, so he ordered the servants to come to visit. I also hope that the concubine will have a good birth and recover as soon as possible. ”

Father-in-law Wei was full of apologies and concern.

Concubine Mei's heart was cold.

She was so sick and bullied by Xie Mingxi that Sheng Hong didn't even show her face, and obviously wouldn't support her.

Xie Mingxi's sentence "mother and son centrifugal" pierced deep into Concubine Mei's heart like a thorn. At this time, the thorn pierced deeper, and Concubine Mei couldn't help crying.

Gonggong Wei knew what was going on, but his face showed a look of panic, and he pleaded again and again: "The slave spoke inappropriately, which made the concubine dislike, please punish the mother." ”

Concubine Mei was full of sorrow and sorrow, where was she still in the mood to punish Father-in-law Wei, bowed her head and wept non-stop.

Gonggong Wei knelt for half an hour, his legs were numb, and Concubine Mei stopped crying, and said in a hoarse voice: "You go to the Qing Palace to restore your life, so that the emperor can have free time to come to Hanxiang Palace." ”

Gonggong Wei answered, cheered up and retreated, limped out of the Hanxiang Palace, and returned to the Yiqing Palace.

This miserable appearance fell in Sheng Hong's eyes. Sheng Hong also felt depressed, and asked coldly, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Father-in-law Wei replied honestly: "The concubine cried for a long time, and the slave didn't dare to retire without permission, so she had to kneel and ask for guilt." The concubine ordered the slave to come back and ask the emperor to go to Hanxiang Palace when he was free. The concubine was full of grievances and waited for the emperor to support her. ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

No matter how good her patience is, she will be polished by Concubine Mei.

In the past two years, Concubine Mei has been crying at every turn, using this as a means. Sheng Hong knew it well and kept it forbearing. Xie Mingxi never mentioned it in his mouth, and he never quarreled with him about it.

If it weren't for him, with Xie Mingxi's temperament and temper, how could he be so idle and sulky?

It is time to take this opportunity to make Concubine Mei completely sober.

Sheng Hong had a calm face and said coldly: "Tomorrow you will go to Hanxiang Palace again." When the concubine asked, you said that I was busy with state affairs and had no time to go to Hanxiang Palace. ”
