Chapter Eighty-Nine: Jealousy

It's spring again, and in a blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Concubine Xuan entered the palace, and in this month, the emperor except for occasionally going to the queen's Changle Palace to sit and talk a few words, almost every night rests at Concubine Xuan.

Early in the morning, after Lan Ruoxuan finished dressing up, she took Youzhu and went straight to Ningci Palace, where the Queen Mother was located.

Seeing Lan Ruoxuan, a trace of warmth appeared on the Queen Mother's face, clapping her hands and smiling: "Lan girl, you have been running more and more diligently to my place recently, what's the matter, is it that you can't stay in the Yilan Palace?" ”

When Lan Ruoxuan heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then showed a wry smile on her face: "The queen mother doesn't want to make fun of her sons anymore, everyone knows that now the emperor doesn't come to the Yilan Palace, and Ruoxuan is guarding the huge Yilan Palace alone, and she also feels bored." ”

Hearing Lan Ruoxuan's words, the Queen Mother's brows furrowed slightly: "What, does the emperor still rest in Zhongcui Pavilion every day?" ”

Lan Ruoxuan nodded, with a helpless look in her eyes, Youzhu stepped forward and said: "The emperor has not come to Yilan Hall for a full month, yesterday Niangniang heard that the emperor was still reviewing the folds late at night, so she specially sent refreshments, and when she arrived at the imperial study, she was told that the emperor had been invited away by Concubine Xuan. ”

"What?" The Queen Mother frowned: "There is still such a thing?" The emperor is already very tired from reviewing the recitals, but Concubine Xuan still dares to distract the emperor? "When the emperor was alive, he once favored Bai Pear alone, and as the queen, he never slept in the same bed with the emperor for half a year. Bai Li died, and now more than ten years have passed, and the Bai family has made a comeback, and they still want to repeat their old tricks and flatter their son. Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's eyes became a little colder, and she said, "Mama Meng, do you know about this?" ”

When Mama Meng heard this, she lowered her head and said, "Queen Mother, what Concubine Lan said is indeed true, and now the emperor is resting in Zhongcui Pavilion almost every night." The old slave heard that the plum garden had also been built, and he thought that in the near future, Concubine Xuan would move to the plum garden. The plum garden is far away from the emperor's Weiyang Palace, I don't know if the emperor will be -"

"Presumptuous-" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, and suddenly shouted angrily, the demon concubine of Bai Pear liked plum blossoms the most when she was alive, so the emperor specially built a plum garden for her. Now that Bai Xuan has entered the palace, he actually wants to live in the plum garden.

The Queen Mother didn't need to think about it to know Bai Xuan's demeanor, and she was even more dissatisfied in her heart. I have the most unsightly appearance of ice and jade, but men eat foxes the most. Thinking of this, the anger in his heart was even worse, and there was a thick cold air in his voice: "Since the time when the emperor was here, the plum garden has been a landscape garden, although there are pavilions and pavilions, but they are used for rest, not for living people, and the emperor has not left enough room to build pavilions when he built it." After a pause, he turned his head to Mama Meng and said, "Mama Meng, you go and tell the emperor that the construction of the plum garden is not allowed to mourn the family." ”

Mama Meng has been wearing it in the palace for decades, and she is also an old man, and as soon as her heart moved, she guessed the queen mother's thoughts. Nod yes.

Hearing the words of the Queen Mother, Lan Ruoxuan's eyes quickly flashed a glimmer of light, and then she showed a look of general knowledge, and said: "Don't be angry, the queen mother should not be angry, over the years, because there is a Tiantong Gu in this palace, there has been no child in the palace for a long time, and now with the help of Nanzhao, the Tiantong Gu has been solved, and the emperor hangs the curtain, if Concubine Xuan can give birth to a son and a half daughter, it is also a beautiful thing." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes widened suddenly, as if she had broken the last string in her mind. Bai Li was the scourge when he was there, and now Bai Li's niece is harming his son, if the Bai family is left with a daughter, I don't know what will happen in the future.

The Queen Mother's heart was spinning rapidly, and a few thoughts flashed very quickly, but her face was still silent, and she said: "Lan girl, you too, go to the imperial study when you have time." The emperor's mind is now on government affairs, and the people in the harem naturally have more runs, and there is someone in the emperor's eyes. The so-called favor is just a matter of 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. ”

Lan Ruoxuan nodded. I only heard the Queen Mother continue: "There are a few Buddhist scriptures here in the mourning family, and I just finished copying them a few days ago. You can run for the mourning family and send it to the imperial study. ”

This is to create an opportunity for Lan Ruoxuan, Lan Ruoxuan heard this, bowed respectfully, and nodded in agreement.

The day passed in a blink of an eye, and the palace in early spring was still a little cold, and Lan Ruoxuan also lay down early to rest.

Not long after closing his eyes, he felt that someone was looking at him coldly, and he unconsciously shivered, Lan Ruoxuan opened his eyes, only to see Lan Haoke standing next to his bed, the silver mask covering half of his face, and he looked particularly eerie in the moonlight.

"Brother-" Lan Ruoxuan shuddered and spoke timidly.

Lan Haoke snorted coldly: "Let me ask you, is there anything that does not act according to my instructions?" Didn't I ask you to find a way to fight Kou Shu? What are you doing today at Ningci Palace? ”

Lan Ruoxuan's face turned pale, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, got up from the bed and said, "Brother doesn't know, that Concubine Xuan is really excessive, the emperor has been a full month-"

Lan Haoke directly interrupted Lan Ruoxuan's words: "Does Song Jinyan have anything to do with what we want to do now?" ”

Lan Ruoxuan lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.

"Sister+-" There was a hint of gloom in Lan Haoke's voice: "You shouldn't forget, why did you get close to Song Jinyan, why did you become Concubine Lan's mother?" ”

Lan Ruoxuan trembled violently, looked up at Lan Haoke, and slowly lost focus in her eyes, as if she remembered something.

Lan Haoke knew that Lan Ruoxuan had already remembered his mission, nodded, and then spoke, with a strong warning in his tone: "Now that you are Concubine Lan's mother, with this position, there are many things you can do, whether Bai Xuan is favored or not, the Bai family is just a miscellaneous fish, don't be afraid, what you have to do is a big thing." Do you understand? ”

"You-you probably like Song Jinyan, right?" Lan Haoke narrowed his eyes, and there was a dangerous light in his eyes: "My good sister? ”

Lan Ruoxuan didn't answer, she looked into the distance in a daze, and her consciousness seemed to drift into the distance.

Lan Haoke looked directly at Lan Ruoxuan's eyes, and then took off the mask on his face. Unlike the upper half of the face, which is as delicate and clear as jade, the skin under the mask is covered with scars, because the wound is too deep, after healing, a high scar rises, like an earthworm crawling on her face, Lan Ruoxuan screamed in surprise the moment she saw it.

Lan Haoke stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed Lan Ruoxuan's chin, almost crushed the bones with such force, and said word by word: "Lan Ruoxuan, you can see clearly, every scar on my face is due to Emperor Daxuan." I can't forget the hatred of the country and the family, day and night, and you can't forget it either. Don't forget who you are. ”

Lan Ruoxuan was shocked and frightened, unable to say a word.

Lan Haoke had already put on his mask again in a blink of an eye, and said coldly: "If you really dare to ruin my plan, don't blame me for turning my face ruthlessly." With that, he jumped slightly, as if he had never appeared, and disappeared in the night.
