Hongtai then asked Jiu Yan to stand beside him, "Jiu Yan, General Heber is a good person, he will definitely take you out of the palace safely." This is a jade pendant rewarded by the emperor, you take it, in case something happens to me, you can also prove the identity of the emperor. And this letter, which I wrote myself, is also just in case, you should take it well. ”

"It can be seen that the seventh elder brother has a deep affection for the girl!" Seeing the reluctance of the two, Herb began to feel a little nostalgic for the past with Orange Creek.

"Let the general smile." Hongtai said with an embarrassed smile, took off the burden on his shoulder, and handed it to Jiu Enthalpy, "There are some soft ones here, if it's not enough, you can ask General Heber to bring me a letter, and I'll have someone send it to you." ”

"Okay! Brother, I will take care of myself and my children. Seeing that Hongtai was endless, he interrupted him, afraid that if he delayed for too long, it would attract attention and cause trouble.

"Let's go!"

Jiu Yan followed behind Heber and walked in the direction of the palace gate with his head down, "Brother, don't forget to save Sister Yunling." ”

Hongtai waved his hand to Jiu Enthalpy, "Don't worry!" I will not forget her great kindness. ”

Jiu Enthalpy got on Heber's sedan chair, hid in the sedan chair like this, and swaggered out of the palace.

Hongtai sent Jiu Enthalpy out of the palace gate, and then turned around and left with confidence.

Halfway through, he bumped into Concubine Xiang who came to chase him. Concubine Xiang walked down from the couch angrily, "Are you going to be angry with Eniang?" Did you really send that out of the palace? ”

"Please forgive Erchen for his unfilial piety, Erchen can't watch Jiu Yan suffer and ignore it, besides, Eniang promised Erchen that she would not hurt her life, as long as Erchen obediently takes Ortai's granddaughter, you will agree to her being a concubine for Ertai." Hongtai knelt and kowtowed to Concubine Xiang, and he couldn't forget the kindness of nurturing.

"Do you know what's wrong with you? It's wrong that you shouldn't go to Concubine Xi, didn't you send the handle to others? Why are you so confused? ”

Concubine Xiang actually knew that he went to find Concubine Xi, and Hongtai knew that Xiao Anzi must have betrayed him, and he looked at Xiao Anzi with only half a life left.

"You don't have to look at him like that, Eniang forced him to say it." This Xiao Anzi finally let her know the truth, and she said a fair word for him in front of Hongtai. "Someone! Take Brother back to Changchun Palace. ”

The two eunuchs wanted to come forward to hold Hongtai, but Hongtai angrily shook it off, "I know the way, I'll go by myself, get out of the way for me." ”

Hongtai left in a hurry, and Concubine Xiang motioned for the two eunuchs to follow him.

For the current form, it is a good thing that people are out of the palace, and she can't imagine what will happen in the future. Concubine Xiang thought that she was calculated by Orange Creek, but she was really angry, and before the child was born, she had to go to Kunning Palace to ask for an explanation.

"Let's go, don't go back to Changchun Palace first, go to Kunning Palace first." Concubine Xiang got on the couch as she spoke, and the eunuchs carried her in the direction of Kunning Palace.

Coming to the gate of Kunning Palace, Xiao Bihu roared with a fake tiger, "If you don't go in to report, my master wants to see your concubine Xi." ”

The eunuch turned around and went back to the house to report, and said to himself as he walked, "The dog fights the human power, and a little palace maid speaks so arrogantly, the master is afraid that he will be able to go to heaven." ”

"Concubine Xiang? Could it be that she really fell for her trick? As soon as the emperor left, she came. Orange Creek was a little nervous.

Yu Lan, who had just returned to the palace, didn't know the inside story, and when she saw Orange Creek talking to herself, she couldn't help asking, "Eniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's hard to say, let her in!"

As soon as the words fell, before the eunuch went out to speak, Concubine Xiang had already lifted the curtain and entered. With a fierce and vicious look, "Please Xi Guifei!" ”

"Why did Sister Xiangfei come to Kunning Palace today? Sit down and talk. Orange Creek looked friendly and spoke to her politely.

Seeing Concubine Xiang's expression, Yu Lan whispered to Orange Creek in her ear, "It seems that the person who came is not good, E-Niang, you can be careful." ”

Concubine Xiang walked to the couch with her head held high and sat down, "I heard that Concubine Xi let the palace maid out of the palace without permission, and she was also a palace maid of Xin Zheku who was personally punished by the emperor. ”

"Sister, don't believe these rumors, there's nothing to do." Seeing that Concubine Xiang came alone, Orange Creek bet that Heber and they had left the palace safely, so she flatly denied it, and saw what Concubine Xiang could do with her.

"Really?"

"Not really."

"Who is the man General Heber brought out?" Concubine Xiang drank the tea sent by Yuhe, and said without raising her head.

"Sister Xiangfei's heart is not like a mirror, why bother to ask knowingly."

Concubine Xiang stopped her hand to dial the tea, "Then the Ming people don't say secret words, what did Concubine Xi's sister and that cheap maid do?" The emperor has already punished her to go to Xin Zheku, is Concubine Xi still unwilling to spare her life? Do you have to kill her? ”

Oh my! The thief shouted to catch the thief, and she said it so confidently.

"What did you say?" Orange Creek was so angry that she slapped the table and yelled loudly, and got up from the couch.

"Concubine Xi, is this going to use your identity as a concubine to force the concubine?"

But when she thought about it, why should she be angry.

Concubine Xiang is just trying to be happy, and everyone who doesn't want to spread this matter knows it!

Seeing Orange Creek, he sat down with a smile and drank tea without saying a word.

Concubine Xiang continued, "When I went to Xinzhiku, I found out that this person was indeed lost, and Xiao Anzi and the guards guarding the palace gate can testify that it was General Heber who brought him out of the palace. If Concubine Xi still denies it, the concubine can only go to retrieve the body, so that Concubine Xi and General Heber can still be a poor palace maid. ”

Orange Creek pondered Concubine Xiang's words, what did she want to do, was this threatening her with the life and death of Jiu Enthalpy and the safety of Heber?

"As long as Concubine Xiang is merciful, my sister will be regarded as amnesia, and she will never mention this matter again in the future." Orange Creek also wants to settle things and doesn't want to entangle with her anymore.

"Nothing to say?"

Orange Creek thought about it, and said something that had no basis, so it would just fall on paper, yes, a contract in duplicate.

She asked Yuhe to prepare pen and ink, and wrote: The maid of the palace was infected with smallpox, and after the agreement between the palace and the concubine Xiang, she was sent out of the palace to avoid illness. And then fall into his own name.

"Concubine Xiang, you can also write the same copy! Both copies have your and my names on them, and each holds one copy, so that you can get the best of both worlds, so please let my sister raise her noble hand and let the poor man go! ”

Concubine Xiang carefully read the words written by Orange Creek and felt that this method was very good, so she also picked up the pen and wrote.

Out of the palace gate, Heber directly took Jiu Enthalpy into the General's Mansion, one saw Jiu Enthalpy a weak woman, and she was pregnant, and it was too dangerous to be alone outside. Second, the matter is undecided, and she has to leave a way back for Orange Creek.

"Cousin, are you back? Who is this? Wanting came to greet Heber as he returned home.

"This is a poor man, pregnant and homeless."

Wanting showed a sympathetic expression and nodded, "Madam, please come inside!" My family is quite big, so you can live here with peace of mind! ”

"Enthalpy, thank you, Miss, thank you, General!"

"Just call me Wanting! I'm Lady of Heber! Wanting was still as cheerful as before, holding Heber's arm and introducing herself to Jiu Enthalpy.

Wanting helped Jiu Enthalpy, and the three of them walked side by side towards the house. There was talk and laughter along the way, and the two of them talked very speculatively.

Yu Lan personally went out to see off Concubine Xiang, so she couldn't wait to go back to the house, wanting to ask Orange Creek what happened.

"E-niang, what's going on?"

"Now the funeral of the imperial concubine is imminent, and we will talk about this later." Orange Creek stood in front of the desk, carefully reading the funeral rites. "Oh! By the way, didn't you let Hongli bring Hongli into the palace to gather? Why don't you see Hongyang? ”

"I was in a hurry to enter the palace, but my son didn't say anything to the prince, and I asked my mother to forgive me!" I went back yesterday and hurried into the palace today, and Yu Lan didn't have time to mention this matter to Hongli.

"More on that later! Now that smallpox is rampant in the palace, it is lifeless, and Hongtian still doesn't come well. ”

"Eniang, in fact, you don't need to tolerate Concubine Xiang so much, your position is above her, she doesn't take you in her eyes like this, you can go to the emperor to complain, why are you still so troubled by her." Yu Lan felt injustice for Orange Creek in her heart.

Orange Creek thought to herself, if it weren't for the innocent mother and son, she really didn't want to be harassed by Concubine Xiang, an ungrateful person. knew that this person was so ruthless, and he didn't help her clear the charge of killing the queen back then, and let her die unjustly.

"E-Niang, this is saving people, I'll tell you more about it later." After Orange Creek finished speaking, she continued to work again.

After several days of running around, the funeral of the imperial concubine was finally over, and with the help of Yu Lan and Hongli, the funeral was not rude.

Even the emperor and ministers were full of praise for Orange Creek, "Concubine Xi is young, but she is not ambiguous at all, and it is really a blessing for the emperor to handle the funeral of the imperial concubine properly!" Zhang Tingyu was in the emperor's heart cultivation hall, and in front of the emperor, he praised Orange Creek.

"The sun is coming out in the west today! Can you still hear you old stubborn boaster? The emperor put down the pen in his hand and walked to the chair and sat down.

"Is the old minister really so unkind on weekdays?"

"Gotcha! You ask Li Wei to see if I have wronged you. The emperor pointed to Li Wei, who was standing next to Zhang Tingyu, and said.

Zhang Tingyu turned his face to look at Li Wei and asked him a question with his eyes.

"Don't say it, the emperor really didn't wronged you, you are just an old stubborn, don't smile all day long, follow the rules in everything, and don't know how to be flexible......"

"You...... All right! I have been an official in the same dynasty for so long, but I didn't expect you to treat me as a fool. Zhang Tingyu could listen to this, and pointed to Li Wei's nose and said him.

"Look, look, say two words to you, you are in a hurry like this, I didn't wronged you, right?" The two began to fight because of the emperor's words.

Every word you say, every word he says, he blushes and completely forgets the existence of the emperor.

When the emperor saw that the two of them were endless, he almost started a fight and coughed lightly.

Only then did the two of them come back to their senses and immediately stopped, "The emperor forgives the sin, and the minister is rude." The two hurriedly admitted their mistakes.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang begs to see you!" At this time, Chen Gonggong came in to report.

"Let her in!"

The two hurriedly seized the opportunity, "Then the emperor's ministers retired first!" The two of them saluted the concubines who came in, and both of them exited the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"The concubine greets the emperor!"

"Today, the sun really came out of the west, it's been six years, and it's the first time that Concubine Yu has taken the initiative to visit me, come and sit!"

"Emperor Xie!" Xiangyun helped Concubine Yu to sit down carefully, "I came to disturb the emperor today, because the concubine has good news to tell the emperor." ”

"Good news?" Recently, there have been many mournings in the palace, and I haven't heard these three words for a long time.
