If there were no concubines and concubines in this harem, Lingxi's life would certainly be much better.

But for the last......

This proposition sounds tempting, but it is actually a bitter fruit.

If Lingxi wants to be the queen, then there is really no hope of leaving the palace in this life. No matter who ascends the throne as emperor in the end, Lingxi is a well-deserved queen mother.

As the queen mother, in addition to dying of old age in this palace, she moved to live in another palace like filial piety and the queen mother.

So what fun is there in her future life?

Desperately fighting for the back position, in order to trap yourself for the rest of your life? Besides, is it happy to be high? The Zhu family was the last eight years, and in the end they were so defeated that they couldn't even be buried in the tomb.

In the eyes of others, the hot back position, Lingxi was very disdainful in his heart. She just wants to stand firm in the harem, and after a hundred years of Emperor Yong'an, she can win a glimmer of hope to leave the palace.

However, in cooperation with Renfei......

Lingxi looked at the concubine in front of him and sneered.

Concubine Ren seems crazy, but she is actually very smart. The last time Concubine Ren cooperated with her, what she did in the end was only that she didn't fall into the well after she was beaten into the cold palace, and as for helping, she didn't help at all.

After thinking about it for a moment, Lingxi smiled at Concubine Ren, "I can help you at a critical moment......

"That's enough......" Concubine Ren nodded, helped Lingxi tidy up her clothes, and said with a smile, "Actually, I don't say that you will help me too." You hate them no less than I do, but I'm relieved to hear you say it yourself......"

After Concubine Ren left, Lingxi reacted in a daze, Concubine Ren didn't believe that Lingxi was the mastermind behind smallpox, otherwise she wouldn't have run to her palace to pretend to be crazy and stupid, but went directly to Concubine Ying or Concubine Rou to join forces with them.

After about a cup of tea, Lotus Ye came in and said, "Niangniang, Xiao Dezi watched Concubine Ren come out of Luoxue Pavilion." Xiao Wu Zigang said again, there are palace people who see that the butterfly beauty has been outside the Luoxue Pavilion before......"

Lingxi's heart suddenly became clear, and she found that she really underestimated Concubine Ren's scheming and forbearance.

On the first day of August in the eighth year of Yong'an, Butterfly Beauty died of illness in the Forget Worry Palace.

On the third day of the eighth month of the eighth year of Yong'an, after lunch, Huan'er came to the Luoxue Pavilion of Yongshou Palace under the scorching sun, knelt in front of Lingxi and said to Lingxi, "Concubine Ying, before the butterfly beauty leaves, let the slave maid bring a message to Concubine Ying." ”

Lingxi didn't even raise his eyelids, just sat on the bamboo couch and drank tea quietly.

Huan'er kowtowed and said, "Butterfly Beauty said, goodbye to Niangniang in the next life." ”

"The butterfly beauty is really exalting the palace," Lingxi sneered, "She is the daughter of everyone, and the palace is so humble, even if there is an afterlife, how can she meet her?" ”

Huan'er didn't care about Lingxi's mean tone, kowtowed to Lingxi again, and then retreated.

After Huan'er left, Lotus Ye asked Lingxi with an inexplicable face, "Niangniang, which trick is this butterfly beauty playing?" When everyone is gone, why can't they stop and stop? ”

Lingxi smiled, but did not speak.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Dezi came in from outside, and said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, that Huan'er went to Changxin Palace after leaving Yongshou Palace, and before coming to Yongshou Palace, she also went to Forget Worries Palace and Jiyan Palace......"

Lingxi looked at the lotus leaf and said with a smile, "Look, she just wants to use her death to make the harem unrestful." On the day of the fifth prince's birthday, she told Concubine Ren that I did the smallpox, which made Concubine Ren suspicious of me. After her death, Huan'er walked back and forth in several palaces like this, which was tantamount to overturning her own words, so that Concubine Ren could not figure out whether her words were true or false......"

Lingxi groaned slightly, and some couldn't figure out what the butterfly beauty wanted to do. After a while, he was relieved, "Fortunately, Concubine Ren is a shrewd person, and I didn't believe her words at all, otherwise ......I would be the first to be unlucky."

"Concubine Ren is going crazy in order to avenge the four princes, and Die Beauty's move before death is equivalent to pulling all the concubines in these palaces into the water, which is really a good idea!" The lotus leaf is easy to pass at one point, and I sincerely admire it.

"Not smart enough to be in place." Lingxi shook her head, "Even if the concubines in these halls fight bloody and the sky is dark, can she see the relief or benefit from it." At most, the matter of the sixth princess was revealed, and the emperor posthumously awarded her a Jieyu or a concubine, what does it mean to be honored after death? ”

Xiao Dezi nodded and said, "What Niangniang said is that the concubine is glorious, but the eighth prince is not fostered under the knees of the noble concubine?" If she wants to see the Eighth Prince, she will not be allowed to enter the ......."

"Nonsense," Qiao Zhu answered, "Concubine Xiu has turned into a ghost, what other door can stop her?" ”

Xiao Dezi smiled and said, "Of course, I asked Dao Gu to do it, and I specially posted the door ...... of the exorcism charm."

"Huh?" Lingxi took a sip of tea, became interested, raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, what's going on." ”

Xiao Dezi lowered his body to Lingxi, and replied with a smile, "Niangniang, since the Eighth Prince lived in the Deyang Palace, he has been crying every night, and the concubine has invited the imperial doctor to check many times without any results. Later, the palace people in the Deyang Hall also said that they had seen ghosts floating in the courtyard of the Deyang Palace, and the clothes they wore were the same as those worn by the concubines when they were buried. Xian Gui Concubine was afraid that the ghost of the concubine would hurt the eighth prince, so she begged Concubine Ying to invite Dao Gu to come in and do it, and drew a number of charms and pasted them on the palace door......"

"Nonsense!" Lingxi snorted coldly, "How can there be any ghosts in this world......"

Halfway through his words, Lingxi's voice weakened. If there is no soul, then what is oneself?

"Is there a ghost in this world?" Lingxi asked the few people standing beside him with puzzled eyes.

Lotus Leaf and Qiaozhu's faces turned pale, and then nodded solemnly.

Lotus Ye said, "Niangniang, it is said that the harem is the most yin place in the entire palace." One is because there are few men here and there is no yang energy. Second, because there are many concubines and palace maids who died unjustly in the harem, there are often palace people who see ghosts passing by when they are on duty at night...... When the slave maid first arrived at the Yilan Hall on an errand, she was shaken by a white shadow one night and was scared for many days. ”

Qiao Zhu also echoed, "That's it, during the time when Niangniang was not in the palace, the harem was rumored to be haunted in the Lingyan Palace, and even the palace people on duty at night did not dare to stay in front of the Lingyan Palace." If it weren't for the haunting, the slaves wouldn't have repeatedly gone in and out of the Spirit Research Hall at night to get things without being discovered......"

"Lingyan Temple?" Lingxi was surprised, and raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"Niangniang Fuda," Xiao Dezi said, "After Niangniang returned to the Lingyan Palace, there was no more such messy things. Those minions all said in private that Niangniang has a blessed star to protect her body, and these dirty things are not close. There was also a servant who said that when he was on duty at night, he saw with his own eyes that when the mother was not in the temple, those dirty things passed through the Lingyan hall. After the mother came back, the filthy things were all far away around the Lingyan Hall......"

Lingxi chuckled, his eyes sparkling in the candlelight, "It's really more and more boundless, can those dirty things also distinguish good from bad?" ”

"Of course you can!" Xiao Dezi said with a serious face, "Niangniang is kind-hearted, and those dirty things naturally know." They only scare people, not good people......"

This time, the smile on Lingxi's face turned into helplessness, kind-hearted, good-hearted? Nothing bad has been done, but it's pretty much the same......

"Let's not talk about the useless ones." Lingxi took a bite of the warm teacup, raised her eyebrows and said, "Concubine Xian has always been a thoughtful master. If there were really those dirty things in the Deyang Palace, I'm afraid she wouldn't have invited Dao Gu in such a big way. You can go and inquire and see if there are any other clues. I don't care if she hurts others, but don't mess with me......"

"Yes, the minion understands." Xiao Dezi answered yes and went out.

Hanyan came in from outside and said to Lingxi Yifu, "Niangniang, Doctor Shi has come to ask for peace for Niangniang." ”

Lingxi's heart trembled, lowered his eyes and smiled, feeling his cheeks slightly cold.

Lotus Ye glanced at Lingxi's expression, raised his head and asked, "Wasn't it all the imperial physicians in the past?" How did you change the doctor today? ”

"I don't know about this." Hanyan looked confused, and said to Lingxi, "The slave and maid calculated that it was the day to ask for the pulse of the mother, and I thought about it, is there something wrong with the imperial doctor?" ”

"Alright," Lingxi looked up, his expression returning to normal, "let him in." ”

He went out with smoke for a while, and took Shi He in.

The lotus leaf turned around, took a tulle handkerchief and spread it on Lingxi's white wrist. Qiaozhu took a carved round stool and placed it next to the bamboo couch.

His eyes collided with Shi Hezhan's, and Qiaozhu's low eyes flashed.

Lingxi Meimu swept Shi Hezhan and Qiaozhu's bodies twice, and asked with a smile, "Imperial Doctor Shi is really idle today, and he actually has time to come to the palace." ”

Shi Hezhan sat down after arching his hand, put the three fingers of his right hand on Lingxi's wrist, and whispered, "Niangniang has a great favor to Weichen, and Weichen will return to his hometown for three years in a few days, and he will come to say goodbye to Niangniang today." ”

Lingxi nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Hanyan served Shi Hezhan a teacup, turned around and went out again.

Suddenly, Shi Hezhan took his hand off Lingxi's wrist, put away the wrist pillow dedicated to pulse diagnosis, and sighed with a smile, "Niangniang's body is very good, Imperial Physician Wang is worthy of being a national hand, and Weichen admires it." ”

"Bengong is also grateful to the Imperial Physician in my heart, Bengong's body has always been weak, and I have recently felt stronger." Ling Xi smiled, "Doctor Shi, please use tea." ”

Shi Hezhan thanked him and took a bite of the teacup.

Qiaozhu stepped forward and said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, the slave maid will go and see the five princes......

"Take a good look at what he does?" Lingxi looked back and said, "Xia Qing is watching." ”

"The slave maid is thinking of embroidering a belly pocket for the fifth prince," Qiaozhu's expression was a little restrained, and his hands kept pulling the handkerchief in his hand, "The left and right are also idle now......

Lingxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you can go." ”

Behind Qiao Zhufu, he lowered his head and ran out.

Shi Hezhan got up at this time and said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, Weichen will retire first." ”

Lingxi nodded in gratitude, and Shi Hezhan turned around and went out.

After Shi Hezhan left, Lingxi said lightly, "Lotus Ye, how long do you have to hide it?" ”
