Chapter 538: The Shadow of the Pavilion Toad Shines on the Cold Spring
On December 14, the eighth year of Qianlong, there was heavy snowfall. [, The cold wind is like a knife in the wind, which can easily cut through people's faces, leaving bloody wounds one by one. The wind was also mixed with white snowflakes like goose feathers, which were also cold and cold on people's faces, falling into the necks of the wind "feathers", and the cold and swishing frozen people.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, please, you can go and see my mother. Mother, I'm afraid it's a big deal. The sound of Fenglan was particularly pale and powerless on such a snowy winter day, especially through the thick vermilion lacquer palace gate, as if there was no penetrating power at all.
It's not even three watches, and there is no light. Except for the big red lanterns that swayed and trembled in the cold wind, there was really nothing to do. Everything you can hear is just the sound of the wind whistling by.
"Queen Mother, slave beg, go and see my mother......" Feng Lan cried hoarsely, and Zhong Cui Palace except for her, there was no one who could serve Lan Xin's side. Slave beg, queen ......"
The palace lights in the inner room are all extinguished, but the fire in the copper furnace is sultry, which makes people's hearts warm. Lan Xin was sitting on the Xiangnanmu big bed of Baizi Nafu, listening to the whistling sound of ghosts crying at night outside, and did not move for a long time.

Suo Lan rushed in in a hurry, but was startled by the figure in front of the bed and almost screamed. After settling down, she realized that the queen had already gotten up, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "I disturbed the queen's mother, it's the slave who deserves to die." But...... But Fenglan has been crying and begging for a while. Although the palace gate is still under the key, do you want to go and see the pure concubine? ”
With a gentle breath, Lan Xin slowly retracted his mind, and his tone was full of coldness: "It doesn't matter whether you go to this palace or not. Fenglan is usually smart, but in fact he is a fool. I don't know how to ask the emperor. When the pure concubine meets, it should be the emperor, and only by letting the emperor see her like this at this time can he save the emperor's heart. ”
"Niangniang......" Suo Lanwu took two steps forward and said worriedly: "If you can't save the emperor's heart, it's just that, if you can't save it, Concubine Chun wants revenge the most, I'm afraid it's you." At this juncture, why do you want to leave her cheap......" Suo Lan gritted his teeth, full of hatred: "The matter of the Duanhui Crown Prince back then, Concubine Chun will definitely not be able to get rid of it." Now that she is incompetent and can't give birth to this child, do you still want the emperor to have pity for her? ”
"Hmph." Lan Xin sneered and said disapprerovitically: "When did you have such a thought, aren't you afraid that this palace will punish you?" You know that in the eyes of this palace, you can't "rub" such a grain of sand. ”
"The slave maid is the maid of the queen's mother, and she only knows how to share her worries for the queen." Suo Lan frowned but said soothingly: "As long as it is good for the mother, it doesn't matter how you want the slave and the maid." ”
"Why bother." Lan Xin glanced at her lightly, but she didn't seem to be able to see her expression at this moment. "Didn't the emperor say it, don't use it for a hundred times if you are unfaithful, even if the pure concubine redeems the emperor's pity, she can't save the emperor's heart after all. She has no way out and no future. ”
Hongli's heart-warming words swirled in his head, but in fact, in the past, he wouldn't have said these to himself. Perhaps because these times are different from the past, these words can be said freely. He thought it had entered her heart, but she hid even further. "Put away your crooked thoughts, the emperor is gone, and the life of the pure concubine can be better. Together with the child in the belly of the pure concubine, he can also have a stable future. If you look at the third elder brother, you will know that the emperor also dislikes this prince because of the pure concubine. Hongu didn't want to do too much. I don't want to ruin my name for such a person. ”
"The most important thing is that you still want to protect the imperial heir in the belly of Concubine Chun." Suo Lan bowed his head lightly and said solemnly: "The slave and maid understand, and they don't dare to have crooked thoughts, but whether the emperor goes there or not, but it is not something we can control." I'm afraid I'm only afraid of the storm, please don't move......"
"Well, I'll have to work hard for you to go." Lan Xin patted the back of Suo Lan's slightly cold hand in front of him: "If you go, it will be the order of the palace." This palace has always been lenient and benevolent, and I think the emperor knows it. What's more, no matter how bad the concubine is, the pure concubine is also the heir in the womb. If Concubine Chun is in danger, the emperor doesn't go to watch and accompany her, once there is any rumor, those officials in the previous dynasty will be folded again. The emperor is so annoyed that he will not allow himself to have such a mistake. ”
The more she knows about Hongli, Lan Xin will have a deeper level of fear, she never knows, if one day the emperor really dislikes herself, will she also end up lonely. Or when he talks about himself to others again, the emperor only has contempt and ridicule in his eyes, and after all, there is no affection at all.
"The slave obeys." Suo Lan is not afraid of the cold, and she is not afraid that the emperor will not go, she is just afraid that she will not do what the queen ordered, that's all.
Li Yu carefully opened the thick curtain of the Xinuan Pavilion, and when he saw that the emperor was sleeping, he scratched his ears anxiously. I was about to quit, but I heard a sigh of "hmm". "The slave should die, the slave has alarmed the emperor......"
"What?" Hongli "rubbed" his eyes, and without looking at it, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the palace lamp next to the bed.
“。” Li Yu hurriedly lit the palace lamp, and then lowered his head and said: "Suo Lan, who is beside the queen's mother, accompanied the maid Fenglan of Zhongcui Palace to ask for a meeting outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, saying that it is a pure concubine Niangniang...... There are signs of dystocia, and I still can't give birth from yesterday afternoon. During this period, Niangniang fainted several times, thanks to Cao Yu's ginseng soup and took a breath.
In the future, Li Yu didn't say a word. But Hongli immediately got up and sat up straight: "Prepare the imperial chariot, I will go and take a look." ”
“。” Li Yu knew that the matter had alarmed the queen, and the emperor would definitely not be able to pretend to be confused anymore.
Before Hongli entered the inner bed of Zhongcui Palace, he had already smelled a strong bloody smell, and the smell was so disgusting that even a man was a little irresistible. Looking at the palace who played the curtain, the corner of the curtain was lifted, and a string of palace mermaids came out. Everyone is holding a basin of blood-red water in their hands, so it is not eye-catching!
"Your Majesty, you can't go in, if you have anything to say, just say it through the curtain." Li Yu was afraid that the bloody qi in this inner room would collide with the dragon body, so he hurriedly stopped the emperor. In fact, whether you see each other or not is secondary, thinking that Concubine Chun is unkempt and dirty at this time, her face is full of mud, and it makes people panic when she sees it. It is better to say a few important words through the curtain, which can relieve the depression in the heart of Concubine Chun, and also make the emperor think of Concubine Chun a little better.
Cao Xuyan opened the curtain and slowly walked out of it. "The minister greets the emperor." Chapter 538 of Empress Xiaoxian: The Legend of Emperor Ranwen's Concubine Premiere: Tingting Toad's Shadow Shines on the Cold Spring
"No courtesy." Hongli cleared his throat and said in a slightly higher voice: "How is Concubine Chun?" ”
When answering this, Cao Xuyan didn't dare to make a soft promise, and said sternly: "After the pure concubine gave birth to the third elder brother, her body has been relatively weak, and it is extremely untimely to conceive this child. is raised by the mother, and when she grows, the mother is greatly damaged, so that when the melon is ripe and falls, the pure concubine Niangniang has no strength to support the delivery.
Weichen dared to ask the emperor, what if...... The imperial heir and the pure concubine can only be preserved by one of them...... So what should Wechen do? Glancing at the emperor's solemn face, Cao Xuyan asked cautiously. But in fact, in fact, how could he not know the emperor's intentions.
On the scene, since he asked, Hongli must also say. "Concubine Chun is the mother of the third elder brother, and she is once again the heir of me. Both of them must be hugged for me, and no deviation is allowed. When Hongli said this, he was not without a trace of sincerity. What kind of "sex" Su Wanrong is, he knows a little bit, and he can sacrifice his "sex" life in order to keep an imperial heir who will be handed over to the queen to raise, such a thing, I am afraid that she will hesitate for a long time before doing it.
"Don't be the emperor, don't ......" The emperor wanted her to hear, and Su Wanrong naturally heard it clearly. She struggled to get up, wanting to push away the stable woman and the palace maid who were waiting beside her: "Your Majesty, the concubine begs you to come in and see, the concubine has something to say." ”
Hongli shook his head, knowing that Concubine Chun couldn't see it at all, but he still nodded to himself. Calmly stepping into the inner bed, Hongli motioned to the palace people on the side to push it away. By throwing into the white and cold light of the window lattice, Hongli found that Su Wanrong's withered body was trembling like a bamboo branch, and her face was also very green. It's just that he hasn't spoken yet, but Su Wanrong smiled softly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine never thought that she would leave you like this." Su Wanrong stretched out her arms to hold the emperor's hand, her eyes widened round and wide. The labor pains of childbirth distorted her expression and made her look unpretentious. But she just wants to maintain this not beautiful smile, and it seems that she only wants the emperor to remember her little bit better.
"The concubine knows how much resentment you have in your heart, and everything must be resolved. Ask the emperor for permission to allow Cao Xu to keep the imperial heir in the womb of the concubines. If it is a princess, please ask the emperor to see that the concubine has served for many years, and she has no merit and fatigue, and chooses a good one for her in the future. You don't need to be noble, just be safe and worry-free.
If the concubine gave birth to an elder brother, begging the emperor to hand over the child to the queen mother to raise herself. The concubine knows that she is incompetent, but she hopes that her child can have a good future. Your Majesty, this is the last wish of the concubine, and I ask the emperor to fulfill it...... Keep the children of your concubines. ”
When a man is about to die, his words are good. Hongli saw that she was as thin as a bamboo branch and as haggard as a terminally ill person, but he also felt a little pity. "I have something to tell Cao Xuyan, that is, both of them have to be protected by me."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the concubines won't work......" Su Wanrong waved her hand and motioned for the people next to her to retreat. When the heavy curtain was lowered, she breathed a sigh of relief: "In the bottom of the concubine's heart, the emperor is always the most concerned." Since the emperor is disgusted with the concubines, the concubines are willing to die, but ask the emperor to forgive the concubines for their past mistakes. Your Majesty, can you forgive your concubines this time? Emperor? ”
