"Your Majesty, it's the pure concubine who won't let the slave lead you in. The third elder brother has just fallen asleep at this time, so you better go back to the palace to rest early! Xue Lan cried with a face and said timidly in a low voice. She didn't understand why Concubine Chun suddenly changed her temper and dared to refuse the emperor. But I know that this is not a good job, and I will annoy the emperor at any time and make myself lose my head.

Li Yu got the emperor's face, and in a flash, he blocked in front of Xue Lan, and said seemingly smoothly: "If there is anything to say between the emperor and the pure concubine, let's be a slave." Auntie, you said that this is not the reason. ”

Taking advantage of Li Yu's efforts to block Xuelan, Hongli had already come to the door of Concubine Chun. Naturally, he didn't hear anything unusual, but suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

This action of pushing the door is separated from the action of Hongyang flying out of the window, and the distance is also the kung fu of an eye.

Su Wanrong's frightened expression had not yet reined in, and the emperor was already standing in front of her. "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." She hurriedly bowed her head and forced herself to calm down. But the heart is beating wildly, and it is really difficult to suppress. There is only one question in my heart, that is, whether the emperor has seen him or not.

"What's wrong with you?" Hongli could see at a glance that Concubine Chun's panic was not her usual gentle and obedient appearance. "What's going on, or are you hiding something from me?"

The emperor's question, Su Wanrong felt even more uncalm. "What can the concubine hide from the emperor?" Even though she said this, she was still very nervous in her heart, and Su Wanrong couldn't help but glance at the window sash that was still swinging, and her heart tightened.

Following her gaze, Hongli was a little strange: "Yongzhang is sick, it's this time, why don't you close the window?" ”

Su Wanrong took a breath of cool air, and her heart almost curled up into a hard pimple: "The imperial doctor said that the ventilation was better, and the concubine was afraid that Yongzhang would feel suffocated, so she opened the window to disperse the medicinal gas in the room." Unexpectedly, the emperor came, the concubines did not change their clothes, and when they fed Yongzhang to drink medicine, they stained their plackets, and they were a little flustered for fear of losing their manners before the saint. ”

What she said was good, not only did she have the medicinal juice that Yongzhang willfully spilled on her clothes, but there were also some blood stains. In addition, she hugged Yongzhang and cried again, her hair bun was a little messy, and her makeup was spent.

Stroking her cheeks and pinning her broken hair behind her ears, Su Wanrong said with red eyes: "The concubine doesn't want the emperor to see the concubine now." Why didn't the emperor leave even this little dignity to his concubines? ”

Hongli was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't think that Concubine Chun would have an awkward time, so he had a faint smile between his lips. "I thought that you would be as soft as the flowing water of the small bridge in the south of the Yangtze River, and I didn't want to think that even the flowing water under the small bridge would be strong. It was I who was abrupt, but I didn't mean to make you sad, on the contrary, I wanted you to know that it was not only you who hurt Yongzhang, but also me. ”

Su Wanrong's nose was sour, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She knew in her heart that the emperor only came at this time, and he must have coaxed the queen and the second elder brother, and then it was her turn to coax herself. However, on the face, she was extremely happy, as if she had obtained a treasure, and held this fluttering affection in the palm of her hand as if she had pretended to be very heavy.

"The queen is all right, right? The second elder brother wasn't frightened, was he? Su Wanrong's concern gradually deepened, as if comparing her heart to her heart: "When the concubine was in the elder brother's house, she offended the queen because she was anxious, and the concubine was not good." And Brother Er, after all, he is still a child, and most of them are frightened when they encounter such a thing. The concubine did not appease him, but the concubine was not generous enough. ”

Hongli nodded and smiled approvingly. "So I always feel very comfortable with Wanrong. You will always be aware of the minds of others, and you would rather suffer for yourself than for the sake of others. That's what I like most about you, and that's what you love. ”

said so, but Hongli didn't really think so in his heart. For a period of time, he has listened to a lot of rumors in the harem. The rumors that Concubine Chun and the queen do not agree with each other are even more boiling.

Originally, he didn't have to come to Zhongcui Palace, but after such an accident, Hongli always felt that Yongzhang was innocent. Inevitably, things are out of control, and he is willing to take this trip to make Concubine Chun feel at ease. Let her realize her care, so she has less right and wrong.

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment, but Wanrong asked herself if she couldn't afford such a thing." Su Wanrong threw the letter into the emperor's arms suspiciously, bursting into tears. "Don't hide it from the emperor, Yongzhang is injured like this, and the concubine is really distressed."

Gently holding Su Wanrong's back, Hongli was not prepared to hide what he was thinking. "Yongzhang is still young, and it is really distressing to suffer such a crime. But the emperor's heirs are not like ordinary children, they are born with heavy burdens. I know you have high hopes for Yongzhang, why shouldn't I? The Qing Dynasty seems to be rich and prosperous, but hidden dangers are everywhere, and it always needs brave and warlike warriors to guard the border and die on the battlefield in exchange for long-term peace, do you understand? ”

Su Wanrong was stunned, not knowing what the emperor meant by saying this.

Seeing that she was silent, Hongli continued: "I know that you have always cared about your lintel, and you always feel that the Han Army Banner is not as noble as the Manjun Banner. But in fact, there is no problem, when Yongzhang grows up in the future and makes meritorious contributions to the country, I will reward him with the position of prince, and it should be a glory for your mother's family. ”

It turned out that she was talking about this, and Su Wanrong finally understood the emperor's intentions. This time, she didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly said: "The emperor cherishes Yongzhang so much, and is willing to give him the opportunity to make contributions, which is really a blessing for the concubine's mother and son, a blessing for the concubine's family, thank the emperor for his grace." ”

Bent her waist softly and was about to kneel, Su Wanrong was not like this because she was grateful, but Zhenzhen was resentful. In the eyes of the emperor, her mother's family was not noble enough, so the child she gave birth to could only be a military general who fought on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country. can only be a mediocre and incompetent idle prince.

So what hope does she have, she has been coerced by others, and she can't tell her sincerity for any reason, what is she doing in this harem step by step, walking on thin ice?

Lying lightly beside the bright yellow dragon boots, Su Wanrong only felt that the yellow stinged her red and swollen eyes, and she wanted to cut him into pieces, tear them into small pieces, and scatter them in the air one by one to vent her anger.

"If only you understood." Hongli leaned down slightly and helped Su Wanrong up. "Wanrong, you have been by my side all these years and served me carefully. gave birth to Yongzhang for me, and he made great contributions and deserved the position of concubine. I also hope that you can accompany me to go on well, and don't ruin my relationship with you because of some unsatisfactory feelings. ”

Su Wanrong nodded tearfully, but admired the emperor for being able to say such a coercive word, gentle and emotional. It would have been nice if she had been a little more stupid, if she really couldn't hear the intimidation and awe. But on the contrary, she is not stupid or stupid, whether she sincerely cherishes or warns, she listens to it word for word in her ears and engraves it in her heart.

Hongli looked at Yongzhang again, said some words of comfort and comfort, and asked Li Yu to prepare the imperial chariot and hurriedly returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

When Xue Lan walked in with the hot soup, she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw Concubine Chun sitting on the ground weakly. Hurriedly put down the soup bowl in his hand, and Xuelan stepped forward to help: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it a wonderful thing that the emperor still comes to visit you late at night? How do you ......?"

"A great thing?" Su Wanrong couldn't laugh or cry a little. "If it weren't for the queen and the second elder brother, would the emperor have put in so much effort? Xuelan, how many times has this palace taught you, you can't look at things too superficially, to this day, can't you still detect the emperor's sincerity? Because of the glory of the Fucha clan, the second elder brother must be the crown prince.

As for Yongzhang, no matter how good he is, he will not have a good future. is not a side, just because of his identity as a concubine. Xue Lan, it's me, it's me who hurt my own child, it's me who makes him unable to become the most noble son of heaven in the world. ”

"So it's because of this!" Xue Lan sighed coldly, but she was not as depressed as Concubine Chun: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" You already know the emperor's thoughts, and that's the best. ”

Su Wanrong looked at Xue Lan puzzled: "What's good?" ”

"Niangniang, you think, if you can't know the emperor's mind, we have to guess. That's what makes people restless and restless. Now that I know it, I don't have to save a lot of trouble. Since the emperor values not the second elder brother's intelligence, but his identity, it is easier to do. Xue Lan's eyes were filled with a killing intent, and he immediately poured into the eyes of the pure concubine.

"You're right." Su Wanrong suddenly came to her senses. "It's not a concubine, you can become a concubine. Not the firstborn, but also the firstborn. It's nothing more than whether Bengong is willing to spend this thought. ”

At present, the biggest obstacle is the queen and the second elder brother, of course, the eldest elder brother is also an obstacle.

Su Wanrong thought that what made it difficult for the queen to turn over must be Prince He. There is no way that there is nothing innocent between them. Even if there is really none, it just makes the emperor believe that there has been.

As for Concubine Hui and Concubine Xian, Su Wanrong also had to take precautions. "I heard a strange thing in this palace, the emperor rarely walks around the harem these days, but he asks the imperial dining room to prepare stews at every turn. It is still the most nourishing and nourishing type. ”

Xue Lan immediately understood Concubine Chun's intentions: "Niangniang is saying that this tonic is not for the emperor himself, let alone for the concubines, that is the beneficiary." ”

Nodding, Su Wanrong said cautiously: "And this person is also a neighbor around the emperor." The palace suspects that it is the female official who has just entered the palace, and her name is Mosan. This woman is particularly strange, although she is not a female official, she rarely walks around the harem, and only accompanies the emperor in the Palace of Nourishing Heart...... "As soon as her eyes rolled, Su Wanrong's mind couldn't be hidden: "Send someone to investigate, and you must not be appeased." Xu said that this Mo Sang can also help us a lot. ”
