Chapter 578: The lonely branch is thin and resistant to the wind

The two words Lan Xin hates to hear the most are justice. There is no one in the Forbidden City who will not cry out for injustice, and who will not expect justice. It's just that the emperor's favor can be fair? Can I have a fair future? When there is only a round and bright pearl of the night, is it fair to crush everyone and share a little powder?

If it's really something that can be calculated, why do you have to shout about it all the time? Lan Xin didn't bother to look at Ye Lan, turned his head and instructed Jin Lan: "Where is the ointment that the imperial doctor put down?" Take it, and the palace will personally give medicine to Concubine Xian. ”

Ye Lan knew that the queen had to see the scar before she gave up, so she didn't stop it, and obediently handed the ointment to Jinlan. The imperial doctor said that there were a lot of borneol and mint in this ointment, which could be used on the burned area to relieve the pain. Merely...... The burnt flesh blocks the tender flesh inside, and even if it is medicated, it will not have a medicinal effect. Need ......"

"Flesh gouging to cure sores." Lan Xin said this lightly: "This palace can only apply ointment to Concubine Xian, but it doesn't have the ability to open the burnt flesh." Wait a minute, the palace will instruct the imperial doctor to do it carefully. Ye Lan, you haven't been with Concubine Xian for a long time, but since Concubine Xian likes you, this palace looks forward to you serving you wholeheartedly, don't let down Concubine Xian's importance to you. ”

His body trembled, Ye Lan hurriedly responded, didn't the queen think she was too smart? After all, it is not good to be too sharp in many things, and she is the person who is instructed by the Queen Mother to serve by Concubine Xian's side, and the Queen must not like it. "Slaves and maids remember the teachings of the queen, and they must serve the concubine well." After answering cautiously, Ye Lan stood stiffly with his neck locked, not daring to say a word of gossip again.

"Niangniang, the ointment and the bamboo skewers rolled with cotton have been taken." Jinlan did things neatly, and prepared the cotton bamboo skewers that the queen needed early in the morning. It's much better to apply this medicine than to use your fingers directly. What's more, Jinlan didn't think about it, Concubine Xian was injured like that, the queen may not be able to apply medicine directly with her hands, and the silk cotton towel is not bad, it is not so flexible.

The method was come up by himself, and when Lan Xin took the bamboo stick, his nose was unconsciously sour. Things are still things that have been used for many years, as if the past is vivid, but the mood is so different. In those days, I was by his side, applying medicine and feeding him, accompanying him to read excerpts and poems, and although he was sick, he was happier than ever.

It was because of those days that he cared about himself......

Lan Xin's hand that took the cotton bamboo skewer trembled slightly, and it was very unnatural to dip it in the ointment, and saw the burn where Ye Lan and Suo Lan rolled up their clothes, and frowned: "Concubine Xian's injury is really not light, even if it is good, it will inevitably leave a scar." It's a pity that she has such smooth and delicate skin. ”

Hongli's gaze was also glued to the cotton bamboo skewer, and his eyes were surging with brilliance. With Lan Xin's patient and careful care, Concubine Xian's injuries will heal soon. When I was sick, you were also so gentle and gentle by my side, and now that I think about it, those days were really pleasant. I can face you day and night, naturally more than anything else. “

His cheeks were red, Lan Xin didn't expect the emperor to say this suddenly, and he was still in front of the palace people, next to Concubine Xian's sickbed. "The concubine can serve the emperor, which is a blessing for the concubine and a duty." When she lowered her head a little embarrassedly, Lan Xin saw Concubine Xian's eyes rolling at a glance.

Even though his eyes were closed, the subtle movements still didn't escape Lan Xin's eyes. In this way, Concubine Xian has already woken up and deliberately wants to hear what the emperor will say to herself. Why bother? Lan Xin didn't know what was wrong with the Wulanala clan's Panyu, and why there was such a big change in temperament in just a short period of time. Looking at her now, it's like looking at the former pure concubine, the same is self-destruction, the same can't be stopped, you have to hit your head against the south wall.

"Your Majesty, since Concubine Xian's injury is related to Concubine Jia, it is naturally inevitable to ask. It's just that Concubine Xian hasn't woken up yet, and the concubine has already sent someone to invite Concubine Jia over. I don't know if the emperor wants to ask Concubine Jia first? Lan Xin knew that when he mentioned this, Panyu would inevitably "wake up" soon

Hongli bowed his head: "It's okay, I also want to figure out what's going on." ”

"Then ask the emperor to move the side hall, and the concubines will continue to give medicine to Concubine Xian here. Wait until you're done with the medicine. Lan Xin wanted to find this opportunity to talk to Concubine Xian, whether she could listen to it or not, there were some things she had to say.

"Okay." Hongli responded briefly, reached out to cover Lan Xin's hand holding the cotton bamboo skewer and tightened it tightly, but he didn't say anything more, as if there were some words that didn't need to be declared, and the other party could understand them.

But in fact, Lan Xin really didn't know what his intentions were in doing this. Are you grateful because you have to take care of Concubine Xian, or have you entrusted Concubine Xian to yourself? It is said that the eyebrows are affectionate, Lan Xin can indeed see some feelings in Hongli's eyes, but unfortunately these warm or delicate things do not arouse the same emotions in the slightest, just after seeing it, it is just over.

The ointment doesn't feel at all when applied to the burnt flesh of the wound, but when applied to the blood-red flesh that has bloomed, it will make people's hearts and lungs hurt. After all, there are cool ingredients in it, and if you want to endure it, you are afraid that the discomfort of drilling your heart is not something that you can endure if you endure it.

"Hiss......" Panyu took a breath of cold air, frowned and curled up, almost crying in pain.

"Isn't Fang Cai well disguised? I thought you could bear it at this point. Lan Xin's words were very calm, without the slightest hint of ridicule or sarcasm. Despite this, it still provoked Concubine Xian's cold snort.

"Whether the concubine's disguise is good or not is due to the good application of the queen's ointment. When the emperor is there, Niangniang only applies it to places that don't hurt. Before the emperor left, the mother was smeared on the open flesh, obviously not wanting the concubines to disguise themselves anymore. But in fact, Niangniang, you can completely expose the concubines, why bother to save face for the concubines in front of the emperor. Panyu slowly chewed his resentment, and the words blurted out were like knives, ready to enter the queen's heart at any time.

"Face is given by others, and face is thrown away by oneself." Lan Xin didn't stop the movements in his hand, still dipped in the ointment, and carefully wiped Concubine Zaixian's injuries. "Are you so anxious to bring down this palace?"

Pan Yu smiled softly, as if she had forgotten the pain for a while: "Where the queen mother said, the concubines have always looked at the mother and the horse, and the mother's mind is the mind of the concubine, and the concubines obeyed the instructions of the mother, and never doubted the original intention of the mother." Queen Mother, if you don't let the concubines be alone, the concubines will be left behind by the emperor.

You want to praise Concubine Shu and Wei Chang on the throne, and the emperor will favor them one by one. In this Forbidden City, you are already going to be windy and rainy, why do you still say it so beautifully. Don't even give your concubines on the last day? ”

"It's not that this palace doesn't give you a way to live, but that you are digging your own grave, do you think the Queen Mother will be your last ray of life? She is just taking advantage of you, and everything you do seems to help your own favor, but in fact, if the emperor sees what is going on, you will know that you will be like a pure concubine with nothing. Lan Xin sighed softly: "The palace doesn't want to say it, it's useless to say it." Weigh it up yourself, as long as you don't regret it. ”

lifted the thin veil covering his body, and Panyu looked horrified: "The concubine regrets it, and Wulanala Panyu regrets it!" ”

It was not the first time Lan Xin had seen such an unsubmissive concubine, so she only smiled lightly. "Luo Ying's matter, it is indeed a shame for this palace. But Concubine Xian, for so many years, you have asked yourself, isn't everything this palace has done to forgive the mistakes of the year? Several times before and after, you and Concubine Hui are like fire and water, and even offended the emperor, isn't it all the palace that is weighing and maneuvering to keep your status and position in the emperor's heart?

I don't say this to make you remember how good this palace is, and I don't want to say that the events of the year are written off. This palace admits that it is because of my small temperament that I can't allow you to be favored, but after all, I was young at that time, and I will not admit defeat in my heart. Now that I think about it, if I could go back and choose again, this palace would never be jealous and plot your favor. ”

With tears in his eyes, Lan Xin said movingly: "It is precisely because I owe you that I don't want you to be wrong again and again." Concubine Xian, stop it early. ”

I have never seen such a cowardly and sensational side of the queen, Pan Yu was stunned, and finally laughed. "What the queen said is too profound, and the concubines can't understand it. The concubine only knows that if she owes or loses, she always has to pay it back. ”

Lan Xin slowly swallowed the guilt in her heart and calmed her emotions: "Okay, since Concubine Xian said so, this palace doesn't want to hide it anymore." Whatever you want, you can repay this palace as much as you want, you just come to this palace. Concubine Jia has been indifferent to fame and fortune for so many years, and has never disdained to compete for favor, so why bother innocent people. ”

Pan Yu frowned and smiled, her eyes full of resentment: "The queen said this, do you want to compensate the concubines?" ”

"Do what you can, and don't violate ethics or palace rules." Lan Xin is willing to compensate Concubine Xian, if she can let go of the hatred in her heart and return to the way she used to be, it will be worth doing something.

"Okay." Pan Yu rolled her eyes and laughed coquettishly: "The concubine offended the emperor that day, Niangniang, in order to protect the concubine, imprisoned the concubine in the Chengqian Palace and thought about it behind closed doors. Now that Concubine Jia has injured the concubine, it is inevitable that the concubine will be angry for a while and do something uncalm, can the queen follow the previous method and let Concubine Jia think about it for a while? ”

couldn't see Concubine Xian's mind clearly, Lan Xin just stared at her still face fixedly.

"Why, is it difficult for such a decree to be a queen? Concubine Jia's temperament is becoming more and more like the former sea nobles. The nobles of the sea have become concubines and know how to restrain their edge, let alone Concubine Jia. Panyu glanced at Ye Lan and said with a calm face: "Go to the imperial doctor, if this wound is not treated, the palace will have no life waiting to see a good show." ”
