Seeing off the emperor, Suo Lan came in with warm water mixed with flower juice, twisted a snow-white cotton towel and gently wiped the forehead, sideburns and cheeks for the queen. "Niangniang, Concubine Xian Niangniang has been waiting outside for a while. It looks like it's full of thoughts. When the emperor left, she was obviously waiting outside, but she didn't go out to greet her. Come to think of it, I don't want the emperor to know that she is waiting for her mother. ”

"Please come in." Lan Xin knew that Concubine Xian's heart was uncertain, she had lost too much, and because of this, she would care more about what she had now.

"The Queen's Mother, Jin An." Although he had only seen the queen, Panyu still relied on the number of courtesies, and then blessed the queen respectfully. She knew that the queen had always liked people with good manners, and she also knew that the queen had always used these invisible rules to bind herself and tie up others.

Lan Xin motioned for her to get up, turned her head to Suo Lan and said, "There are freshly picked cherries, take some and give them to Concubine Xian to taste." ”

Suo Lan answered, and then brought the water down.

"Concubine Xian, do you have anything to ask this palace?" Lan Xin sat down slowly.

Panyu saw that she had just moistened her face, so she took an enamel oval bowl from the dressing table and presented it to the queen with both hands. "The concubine knew that the queen didn't like to use pearl powder to apply her face, and she thought it was too extravagant, but this balm was made by the Internal Affairs Office with various herbs and talcum powder. It also has the effect of moisturizing the skin. ”

"It's hard for Concubine Xian to have such a heart, and you remember the little things in this palace so clearly." Lan Xin opened the small round bowl, dipped it in only a little bit with her onion white fingertips, gently rubbed it in the palm of her hand, and slowly patted it on her cheeks and forehead. "Did the poisoning make you feel uneasy? In fact, you don't have to worry about these things, the clear ones are self-purifying, and the emperor's wisdom will not fail to understand your thoughts. ”

Panyu put the queen's finished balm back in its place, and only then did she dare to reveal her thoughts a little, and said sadly: "The concubine doesn't dare to believe it anymore." The emperor ostensibly cares about the concubines, but after getting along for a long time, the concubines become more and more unpredictable about the emperor's thoughts. Wei Changzai suddenly became favored, and the emperor treated her more and more kindly, and the concubines could get less and less favor. So at this time, someone had something to do, and maliciously blamed the concubine, thinking that the concubine would never have a bright day again......"

Lowering her eyebrows, Pan Yu took a breath and said slowly: "Maybe the concubine shouldn't have this day in the first place." ”

Lan Xin saw a deep discouragement from her eyebrows, and couldn't help but be a little strange: "This doesn't seem to be your character, and you were discouraged before you fought." The concubine of the Wulanala clan who I know in this palace will never be so soft and glutinous. ”

"If everything is arranged by the queen's mother, what can the concubines do except accept it?" Pan Yu had a cold face and said expressionlessly: "Didn't Niangniang just borrow Huai'an's hand to provoke me and Wei Changzai's heart disease?" It's like you will hide in the dark, distort the facts, and make the emperor think that I can't tolerate Luo Ying, and my favor is getting less and less every day.

In addition, I am reckless, so Niangniang, you cleverly arranged to make the emperor's suspicion of me intensify. From the first side of the house to the first side of the house, to a 'leisure' concubine who was disgusted by the emperor and put aside, you are really calculating and attentive to your concubines. ”

With tears in her eyes, Panyu slowly knelt down: "Today's words, the concubine could have hidden it in her heart, never talking about it to outsiders, and not letting the queen know the concubine's thoughts." But over the years, you have assassinated your concubines, helped your concubines, saved your concubines' lives, and made your concubines lose their grace. Good and bad, all of them are full of concubines, and Panyu really doesn't know what to do now.

Now that the words have been explained, the concubines are not afraid that the queen will be wary. But from beginning to end, the concubine had no ambition to cling to Fengquan, nor did she think of replacing you and becoming the queen. Whether it is close to the Queen Mother or returning to the scenery, it is a last resort for the concubines to do it, and they have to do it. I hope that today will be honest and the queen will be able to open up. The concubine just wants to be by the emperor's side quietly, even if she can't be as graceful as the concubine, even if she can't have her own children. But as long as the emperor still has concubines in his heart, it is enough. ”

Knocking down slowly, Pan Yu lay on the ground for a long time without moving, and his voice was particularly subtle: "I beg the queen to let go of the concubine for the sake of her concubine's dedication over the years." ”

Lan Xin was choked by her words. It turned out that in the eyes of Concubine Xian, she was not only not a virtuous queen, but a wicked person no different from the likes of Concubine Chun. She didn't want to deny Luo Ying's matter at all, but she didn't want to explain Wei Changzai's matter either. "You can be your concubine in peace."

"Thank you, Queen." Pan Yu got up with red eyes, but didn't look at the queen again. "The concubine has retired."

Suo Lan was holding a cherry, and heard these conversations outside the door, and couldn't help but be angry and annoyed, she was the one who followed the queen closely, did the queen arrange these things, would she not know? Originally, I wanted to say more words and make it clear to Concubine Xian in person, but when Concubine Xian came out of it, Suo Lan was so angry that she couldn't calmly talk about these big things.

"This is the fresh cherry that the queen mother instructed the slave maid to take for the concubine, if the mother is afraid of poison, she can throw it away." With that, Suo Lan slammed a plate of cherries on Concubine Xian's chest. It doesn't matter if she catches it or not, she shakes her face and turns her head and walks in.

Although Panyu held the plate in time, the cherries were still scattered all over the ground. She didn't know if it was right or wrong to make it clear to the queen like this, but in short, she didn't want to live in confusion for the rest of her life. She also wanted to understand it happily.

"Niangniang, don't be angry with such fools, you can't do it." Suo Lan saw that the queen's face was not good-looking, so she couldn't help but be relieved: "She couldn't hold the emperor's heart herself, so she dared to shout in front of you, thinking that we were still afraid that she would not succeed." Niangniang, you are the master of the harem, she is just a concubine, what else do you want? The next time there is such an ugly remark, you will punish her for a great crime of disrespect. ”

Lan Xin didn't answer, but tried her best to calm down: "Not many people knew about the affairs of the house back then. Luo Ying's matter, except for the emperor and the palace, that is, Concubine Xian, only knew the real cause of death. And the emperor's thoughts, except for the palace, I am afraid that there is no one else. How did it reach the ears of Concubine Xian? ”

Previously, Lan Xin had always made Concubine Xian think that that was the emperor's intention. It would be false to say that she had no selfish intentions, but it had already been done, and she didn't want to make it known. At this time, Concubine Fang Caixian's words were connected, and then with his understanding of her, Lan Xin suddenly understood.

"Who has been to see Concubine Xian recently?" Lan Xin always felt that if it was Concubine Xian's temperament, she would have found out that something was wrong, and she would not have endured it until now.

Suo Lan thought about it carefully: "Recently, I have been in the Old Summer Palace, and no one has come to visit Concubine Xian. The Old Summer Palace is clean, there are few people, and there are few people moving around...... By the way, the queen mother, the slave and maid remembered. A few days ago, Lord Xiao Feng seemed to have been to see the concubine and the concubine. ”

"Xiao Feng?" Lan Xin became alert. Xiao Feng has always been the person who followed the emperor, and he may not have understood everything in the palace in the past. And this Xiao Feng has always been at odds with Fu Heng, and he is annoyed that Fu Heng has robbed him of his position. When he sent him out of the Forbidden City, he was also angry.

What's more, Le Lan was forced to death by her and Concubine Xian. In order to preserve the royal reputation, this was also a last resort. But in Xiao Feng's view, it will definitely not be turned over like this. It is really very likely that he will use his mind on Concubine Xian, intending to use the hands of Concubine Xian or even Concubine Guifei to contend with him.

"Suo Lan, you go and invite Xiao Feng to come over, this palace hasn't spoken to him for a long time." Lan Xin's heart had slowly sunk. In the past, the relationship with the emperor was the thing she cared about the most, and now the honor and disgrace of the Fucha family is what she cares about the most. The emperor is affectionate, she can't make a mistake in her life, love and pain, every time she gets close to him, she will only make herself scarred.

Now that affection is a foregone conclusion, she can only plan more for Fu Heng. What he can't do, I also hope that Fu Heng can do it. Lan Xin never knew that there would be such a day when her love was so pale and weak. Is that still love?

"I just came out of the Qinzheng Palace, and I saw such a beautiful chrysanthemum. Thinking that autumn is coming in a blink of an eye, and it is also the time when the chrysanthemums are full of branches, I asked someone to break a few branches to show you the freshness. Hongli motioned for Li Yu to hand the chrysanthemum to Wei Changzai, and chose a place to sit down.

Wei Yating only wore a light cyan palace robe, with two light blue palace flowers on her head, looking elegant and simple. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The chrysanthemum is elegant, suitable for the concubines to enjoy at this time, and it is much more thoughtful than the peony moon season. ”

"If you like it." Hongli saw that her eyebrows were clear, her complexion was peaceful, and her heart was a little more comfortable. "In a few days, I will take you back to the palace, you used to live in Xianfu Palace, this time I will give you Yanxi Palace to live. Yanxi Palace is magnificent, repaired once, many furnishings in the palace are newly added, you will be more comfortable to live in.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Yating didn't care about this, she was more like knowing who killed Mama. "In the past few days, the emperor has not said anything, and the concubines have not dared to ask more. Now the concubine's mood has calmed down a lot, if the emperor doesn't care, can you tell the concubine, who is going to poison the concubine? Who killed Mama? ”

Hongli shook his head: "In the harem, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart. And in people's hearts, jealousy and resentment are an invisible blade. Someone bribed the aunt to poison her and ordered her to kill herself to settle the matter, so the initiator has not yet surfaced, and I promise you that sooner or later I will give you an explanation. ”

"With the emperor's words, the concubines will be at ease." Wei Yating knew that the emperor would definitely put this matter on hold, even if he forced him to ask with a knife, it would be useless. In addition to patience and waiting, she can only wait for the opportunity to check it herself. But the seeds of hatred will not be blown away by the wind, no. As time goes by, it will take root and sprout in the bottom of my heart, and it will take root deeper and deeper.
