When Lan Xin accompanied Hongli back to the side hall, Suo Lan added some sandalwood to the gilded incense burner, which was Du Heng Fangzhi, and the heavy thickness of the room was thick and calm, with calmness and profundity. This is the sandalwood that the Queen Mother has always liked, and there are many ups and downs, all of which are calm as usual in an instant, which seems to be enough for the gloomy and cold silence exuded by the Queen Mother in the past.

"Your Majesty, don't worry so much, Cao Yuan is a national hand, and there must be a way to cure the Queen Mother's illness." Lan Xin said such things against his will, it was nothing more than doing his best. In fact, she really didn't want the Queen Mother to get better, so he didn't dare to declare it to the emperor, so he could only secretly think about it in his heart.

Hongli took Lan Xin in his arms, and his strength was extremely tight, as if only by sticking to her like this could he make himself feel that he was not alone. "I don't want the Queen Mother to get better, and I can't let her die, I still pretend to be filial piety and serve on my side every day, my heart is good, Lan Xin's heart is so tired."

Lan Xin was suddenly startled, his face turned pale, but somehow, there was a hint of joy in his heart. The emperor knows the truth, and there is nothing more reassuring than this. "Your Majesty, you know everything, don't you?"

Slowly letting go of his hand, Hongli's heart was a little unhappy: "Since you already know, why don't you tell me." Do you think I'll not believe you, or ......"

At this moment, Lan Xin leaned forward without hesitation, and used her warm and soft lips to block what Hongli was about to say. "The concubine didn't know much earlier than the emperor, and although the concubine was suspicious, she suffered from no evidence. The matter is big, and the queen mother is the emperor's mother, even if it is ...... Even if she is not a biological mother, she has the grace of nurturing and upbringing. How dare the concubines talk empty words and say these untrue things. ”

Her eyes were full of cleanliness and brilliance, and every word was her true thoughts. "The concubine doesn't want to hide it from the emperor, it's just that this kind of distress disturbs the concubine's heart. How can the emperor be worried. ”

Hongli's tense face stretched slightly. It was like his heart clutching tightly: "Lan Xin, I have been married to you for more than ten years, and I have never said anything." This is also the case, I know that the Queen Mother is very critical of you, and I can't bear it. But I want to tell you the truth...... I don't know how to speak. Do you know that my biological mother is not only not the favorite concubine of the first emperor, but even ......"

The difference between the descendants and the concubines deeply pierced Hongli's heart. He originally thought that he was not a good or a good or a noble bloodline. But she didn't want to, her biological mother was just a lowly palace maid, and from beginning to end, the first emperor didn't give her any title, but just took away her child and handed it over to the empress dowager from a prominent background to raise. What is this?

Looking back now, if it weren't for the emperor's grandfather, Emperor Kangxi, who took a fancy to him and ordered someone to take him into the palace to teach his homework in person, maybe the first emperor would not have allowed him to ascend the throne as emperor. Hongli never knew that his fate had been pinched in the palm of someone else's hand since he was born, and it was not something he could control at all.

"Heroes don't ask where they come from. No matter what kind of background the emperor has, the concubines only know that the emperor is wise and wise, and he will become one of the most amazing emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Lan Xin knew that Hongli couldn't speak, it must be because of the humble status of Yafu's sister. These things, in the eyes of others, are not of much importance. But the emperor has always been the most taboo about these.

"I vaguely remember that the first emperor always loved to be close to Hongday, and at that time I was still young and didn't know what to do. Hongday has also been kept by the side of the Queen Mother, and is extremely close to the Queen Mother. So much so, when I saw the first emperor and the queen mother teasing Hongtian together, I felt very uncomfortable, and now that I think about it, the child that Emperor Xu Xian cares about more in his heart should be Hongday. Hongli closed his eyes in pain, feeling a little restless.

Lan Xin didn't know how, when he heard Hongli mention Hongday, he was still a little sensitive in his heart. "Your Majesty, after all, the first emperor still made the decree to canonize you as the new monarch and put it in the box behind the Zhengda Guangming plaque. It is enough to see that the first emperor looked at you differently and knew that you were the most suitable heir to the throne. The events of my childhood are just vague memories, and the emperor doesn't have to take them to heart. ”

After a pause, Lan Xin said quietly: "The concubine only knows that the emperor is the king of the Qing Dynasty, and the concubine has always been proud of the emperor. I don't know if the smell of sandalwood in the hall is too strong, Lan Xin only felt that the words he said were stained with that heaviness. frowned, she knew that there were some things that could no longer be hidden from the emperor, and it was better to let the emperor know in person than to be turned over in the future.

In this way, Lan Xin slowly got up and knelt in front of the emperor steadily. "The concubine disobeyed the Queen Mother and committed a heinous capital crime. If you can't truthfully confess in front of the emperor today, you will be restless in your heart. ”

Hongli didn't say anything, just waited for her to continue.

Lan Xin understood and sighed awe-inspiringly: "The concubine bought Sun Yonglai and made him ...... in the Queen Mother's peace decoction I did my hands and feet. It is the antecedent of the Queen Mother's illness this time. Later, the concubine threatened the court to sentence Cao Qinchuan, and asked him to try his best to mix the madness into the queen mother's decoction, but because the queen mother was vigilant, this method did not go well. The concubines deliberately wanted the queen mother to go crazy, if so, no one would endanger Rubin's safety, and no one would secretly cause trouble in the harem, causing the emperor to be uneasy. ”

Having said this, Lan Xin's eyes had already condensed with a damp mist: "Everything is the mastermind of one concubine, one person, I beg the emperor to serve in the concubine for many years, the husband and wife are deeply affectionate, don't involve the rest of the bloodline of the Fucha family." The concubines are at the disposal of the emperor alone. ”

Hongli looked at Lan Xin silently for a long time, and finally got up and helped her up with his own hands. "It is said that husband and wife are one, and this is finally verified today. Lan Xin and I thought of going together, and they really had a heart. The smile suddenly fell into his eyes, Hongli raised his head and said heavily: "Queen Mother...... I still have my mother's life as a threat, and I can't ask for her life. ”

Lan Xin was shocked and stood up: "The emperor is saying that the Queen Mother has been planning all these years...... It's ...... terrible." It's been thirty-two years, and the Queen Mother has raised the emperor for thirty-two years, all the love and pity during this period, all the intimacy between mother and son, is it all an illusion made by the Queen Mother? In fact, she has been calculating all this at all, and has been calculating it to this day.

The two looked at each other, and Hongli pondered for a moment before saying: "I didn't want to leave Cao Qinchuan behind, but the Queen Mother can't ...... for a while I had to imprison her in Cining Palace. I guess she won't tell me about my relatives...... Eniang's whereabouts, only in this way can we keep her glory and wealth, and can we save her life. ”

Lan Xin sighed lightly and said slowly: "That's it, Your Majesty, what the concubines are most worried about is your reputation." The concubine thought that the Queen Mother was sick, and there was no Gao Xiang by her side, only Yafu and Chen Jinzhong Wang Jinbao were waiting, so they could really be trapped in Cining Palace and recuperate with peace of mind. But in fact, the Queen Mother is still well aware of many things inside and outside the palace, and the concubines think that there must be something we have missed. If the Queen Mother uses this channel to collude with the ministers of the DPRK and China, or spread false rumors to confuse people's minds, then ......"

"I'll be careful with my own deployment." Hongli only felt a terrible headache and didn't want to say any more.

Lan Xin said with relief: "The emperor can rest assured that the queen mother is here, and the concubines and concubines will naturally take care of it." It's just that the pure concubine ...... "It's not that she fell into the ground, and she wants to take advantage of the queen mother's illness to put the pure concubine Su to death." It's that Lan Xin doesn't want to leave such a person behind, and fight with the Queen Mother for the tiger, so that the harem will not have a day of peace.

Let's say that the snake-scorpion-hearted people will definitely be able to come up with a more vicious method, so that people can't guard against it, and it is better to divide and conquer.

"Wanrong ......" These days, Hongli has carefully observed Concubine Chun's every move, and he didn't see how others disliked this concubine. It's not that she didn't see Concubine Chun's ambitions, she wished that her son would become the crown prince, and her identity would once surpass others. It's just that Hongli cares about the old feelings and Yongzhang's face in his heart, so he has to leave her some dignity.

Moreover, she did serve the Queen Mother wholeheartedly, and others may have a purpose in their eyes. But up and down the government and the opposition, it has long been rumored that Concubine Chun is the most "virtuous" lady in the harem. If this is the case, if you want to punish the pure concubine, you must have a certain reason.

Lan Xin saw the emperor's hesitation, so he took the opportunity to say: "The concubine thinks that since the pure concubine is used to serving the queen mother, it is better for the emperor to decree that she will temporarily live in the side hall of Cining Palace and continue to serve the queen mother." ”

In this way, Concubine Chun can be regarded as imprisoned with the Queen Mother. Since you can't get out of Cining Palace, you must not be able to cause trouble casually. It's better to watch it under your nose than to let her do things out of sight.

"Just as the queen says." Hongli sighed and said melancholy: "When I ascended the throne as emperor, Yongzhang was only a few months old. I've got to give him some dignity. ”

"The concubine understands." Lan Xin can't help but think of his Yonglian, especially when he mentions a few elder brothers. She was feeling a little uncontrollable sadness, but Hongli grabbed her hands.

"I see, Cao Qinchuan is an old fox, he will always cheat and play tricks in everything, and he is not reliable. It's Cao Xuyan, Geng Zhi is also righteous. If you feel good, let him serve your body all the time. I don't have Yonglian, but I hope to have another brother with Lan Xin. I and the queen's elder brother, in the future, I will personally write a holy decree and make him the crown prince. Wow, love the children of Xinjue Luo and Fucha. What a noble position he should have. ”

Removing the astringency in his eyebrows, Hongli stared and said, "Lan Xin, this child is the hope of me and you." I will not cause him to suffer the slightest grievance. ”
