The palace people were instructed and hurriedly sent Nian to the nearest courtyard for treatment. Huizhu saw that the imperial doctors were guarding, so she took advantage of this vacancy and left Xiao Ranzi aside, and saw that it was already dark outside, so she hurriedly ordered someone to hold the pole and hold the lamp, so she went to see Yinzhen with Xiao Ranzi.

The imperial guards guarding outside the courtyard knew that Huizhu could enter and leave this place at will, so they didn't dare to intercept it, so they directly let people in. Huizhu did not delay, went straight into the inner study, opened the curtain directly, and saw Yinzhen reflexively facing the main door, standing in front of the glass window cabinet with his back hand, looking into the distance.

The straight back that Yue Yu didn't see was in front of him, Huizhu suddenly missed it, and the slightly heavier steps under his feet couldn't help but slow down, until he moved lightly in the hall, Fang Qikou said: "The concubine is back." The pent-up sullenness under the moon has long disappeared after hearing this, but Yinzhen was unwilling to do so, so he said with a heavy face: "Concubine Xi, you are so bold!" I can't help but go against my will, and when I come back for a long time, I don't come to apologize. ”

True anger and false anger, Huizhu vaguely understood, so the warmth in her eyes remained the same, the smile was still the same, and she slowly walked to Yinzhen, stopped at a distance of half an arm, and after sly smiled, she confessed her mistake and said: "It's the concubine who is willful, relying on the emperor's tolerance of the concubine." Huizhu immediately admitted her mistake, Yinzhen was useful, but it was not good to put on a face again, so she only snorted and said: "It's good to know." ”

As soon as she heard this, Huizhu held back a belly of laughter, and when she thought about it, she remembered the scene when she was made upturned by the Nian family, and her heart seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water, and there was no trace of laughter.

When Yinzhen saw it, he asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong with it? Wait a while and have dinner with Hongli Baolian, and ask the imperial doctor to ask you for a peace pulse. Huizhu shook her head, walked to the window in small steps, looked out, looked at the gloomy twilight, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The young concubine wants to kill herself to see the emperor." ”

Yin Zhen's face changed, and he said fiercely: "Nian Qianyao's crime is unforgivable, and Concubine Nian asked to see me, but she was just interceding for her Nian family." How could I have been threatened by her suicide! The disgust in the tone made Huizhu feel cold, the former Nian, Yinzhen was also favored in every way, and now she is indeed abandoned, what about her? Huizhu choked in her throat, and it was really difficult to ask, so she only said about Nian's affairs: "The concubine fainted, and the concubine didn't dare to disturb the holy driver, so she asked the palace people to send it to a nearby courtyard for treatment." ”

Yin Zhen let out a faint "oh", and said: "She loves to be pretentious, and fainting is also expected." But it's just right, it's cheaper to send her back to the palace. Huizhu turned her back to Yinzhen's face and showed surprise, but she didn't think that Yinzhen actually thought that Nian's syncope was a means, no wonder the reaction was so cold, so she added two more words: "Nian Concubine vomited blood and fainted." ”

Yin Zhen was speechless for a long time, turned his mind a few times, and muttered: "I'll go." Xiao Luzi led the way with a lantern, and Yinzhen and Huizhu walked behind.

At this time, it was night, the night was low, Huizhu followed Yinzhen on foot, and before she could get closer, she had seen the lights in the whole yard brilliantly, as if it was day. The workers who stood in Danqi saw the holy car and knelt down to say goodbye, Yinzhen didn't look at the palace people kneeling on the ground, walked into the inner hall, and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Everyone in the hall suddenly saw Yinzhen coming, frightened and kneeled on the ground, no one answered, Yinzhen locked his thick eyebrows, stared at the faint figure behind the four screens of the old mahogany carving "Fulu Suxi", and repeated in a deep voice, "How is the situation?" Everyone woke up, and the imperial doctor kneeling in front of him trembled slightly: "If you go back to the emperor, the young concubine Niangniang's internal organs are strained, and her heart is ......."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Wu Shi leading Fuhui out from behind the screen, and said with grief: "Your Majesty, God is jealous and Hongyan, how can she ...... Niangniang" The throat was hard, as if he couldn't bear to continue, just shook his head again and again, crying silently, he didn't want to dazzle but saw Huizhu at the threshold, his sad face stiffened, as if his big eyes were sharply frightened, and he knelt on the ground with Fuhui, and begged in a wailing voice: "Concubine Xi, the concubine knows her mistake, but after all, the eighth elder brother is the son and son of the young concubine, and the concubine really can't bear it, so she violates the will of the mother, Bring the eighth elder brother here. The concubine asks the mother to be gracious. ”

Concubines? Huizhu's eyebrows were slightly frivolous, touching Yinzhen's inquiring gaze, her eyes turned like a streamer, looked down at the Wu family on the ground, and sighed: "This palace ordered all the concubines to go back separately, and they were also worried that the young concubines wanted to commit suicide in order to see the emperor The news spread, so I had to make this decision." But you and Concubine Nian are like sisters, and you are raising the eighth elder brother on your behalf, and your feelings are different from others, how can I blame you, hurry up. As he spoke, he personally helped the Wu clan to get up.

Wu was still in tears, and Ren Huizhu, who was stunned, helped him up, and after a long time, he was stunned and said, "Xie Niangniang is not to blame." Hui Zhu smiled, but Yin Zhen glanced at the Wu family with disgust, and said unhappily: "Concubine Xi's kind words are not allowed to come over at will, but you just brought Fuhui over, and I don't think it's messy enough now!" Wu's cheeks turned white, and the harder the fingers that held Fuhui's little hand tightly, the knuckles turned slightly whiter.

Fuhui felt pain in his hand, and a cry of "wow" shouted: "Eniang...... Hurt...... Fuhui's hands hurt! Hearing the cry, Wu woke up suddenly, and noticed Yinzhen's cold gaze, hurriedly let go of his hand, and explained helplessly: "The concubine didn't mean to...... No, the concubine ...... because she was worried about her mother."

Yin Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said sharply: "Enough!" Ning Concubine, you violated the palace rules and was demoted to a nobleman. ”

These words were like a thunderclap on the ground, and the hall was silent for an instant.

Wu Shi was shocked, his body shook, he barely stabilized his mind, and muttered: "The concubine did not violate the palace rules, and asked the emperor to listen to the concubine's explanation." Yin Zhen flicked her sleeves and said: "Concubine Xi is in charge of this garden, and she has ordered not to come here without permission." If you bring Fuhui here, you are violating the palace rules. He should be punished severely. From today onwards, he will be reduced to a noble person! ”

There is no excuse for the sin you want to add! Wu smiled desolately, sat down on the ground dejectedly, looked up at the person in front of him through a cloud of mist, and wanted to say something in a crying voice, only to hear Yinzhen say indifferently: "Since you have been reduced to a nobleman, you are no longer the lord of the first palace, and you are not allowed to raise Fuhui." After a pause, he pondered, "Hmm...... Blessings will be handed over to ......"

Huizhu didn't expect Yinzhen to lower the Wu family's position, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Hearing the problem of Fuhui's rearing in his ears, his heart was in a pang at the moment, for fear that Yinzhen would let her raise Fuhui on his behalf, so he couldn't help but blurt out "Emperor", seeing everyone looking sideways, his heart flipped very quickly, and he couldn't find a candidate, and said with a sigh of relief: "Concubine Yu is modest, raising children is the most delicate, and the eighth elder brother is weak, so it is better to temporarily hand it over to Concubine Yu to raise on his behalf, the emperor thinks it's good?" ”

Yin Zhen Yiyun said: "For the time being, according to what Concubine Xi said." Huizhu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Wu's tearful eyes swirled between Yinzhen and Huizhu, and his white lips trembled in disbelief; Suddenly, her eyes flashed ruthlessly, she got up from the ground, stared at Huizhu deadly, and said coldly: "Concubine Xi, you framed me!" ”

Huizhu had a clear conscience, so she looked back at the Wu clan intently, and spit out the sentences one by one clearly, and said: "Ning Guiren, what kind of thoughts did you have when you brought the eighth elder brother here, you know it in your heart." As for your statement that this palace framed you, it is a matter of no evidence and no evidence. He snorted coldly again, and then said: "The following offenses, framing high-ranking concubines, how to punish them severely, you don't need this palace to explain it to you!" ”

Wu was speechless when he was asked, but when he was angry, he listened to Huizhu's cold warning, and his reason that was about to collapse hurriedly returned, his face was blue and white, and he was full of jealousy and loss, Shi Shiran knelt down and knocked, gritted his teeth and said: "Concubine Yueju, offended Concubine Xi Niangniang, please punish Niangniang." ”

Huizhu lowered her eyes and laughed wordlessly at Wu's unacceptable gestures.

Yin Zhen also ignored it, and casually ordered: "Come here, send the eighth elder brother to Yu Concubine's residence." Ning Concubine, please step down. "All should be.

While speaking, there was a sound of "dong dong" behind the screen, and then Gong E exclaimed in surprise: "The young concubine is awake!" But before the words fell, there was another crisp sound of "bang", accompanied by the sound of porcelain falling to the ground, Nian's weak gasp said: "Help the palace to get up, the palace wants to see the emperor ......"

The noise started, Gong E exclaimed again and again, and the persuasion continued, and the Nian family shouted angrily, and only said that he wanted to see Yinzhen!

Hearing the sound, Yinzhen gradually became irritable in his heart, and the faint impatience caused Bo's anger; I saw him with a gloomy and hard face, turned around, walked into the screen, looked at Nian Shi who was half a foot away from the couch, and said angrily: "Help her go back to the couch!" The two palace ladies only agreed, and helped each other to return to the bed.

Nian Shi was shocked to see Yinzhen, his eyes were full of joy, his thin hands let go of the front of the cloak that he had tightly grasped on his chest, and stretched out to Yinzhen tremblingly. Crying with joy, he said, "The concubine knows that the emperor will not ignore the concubine!" Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say to you, "The needle has been pricked for a long time, but I can't move forward half a step, and the person who is full of expectations is still standing a few steps away, and the excitement gradually cools down."

Nian's heart was sad for a while, so she sat down on the edge of the collapse by Gong E, leaned on the hollow and painted bedrail, leaned over to the side, looked at Yinzhen with lingering eyes, and said in a calm tone, "Let the palace people leave, the concubine has something to say to you alone" As soon as he finished speaking, Nian was busy covering his mouth and coughing, and the plain white brocade in his hand seemed to be soaked with bright red blood.

Yin Zhen's cold eyes swept over, and his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the bright red on the silk handkerchief, which made him change his original intention of turning around and leaving, and ordered Xiao Luzi, who was waiting outside the screen, was busy ordering, leading the people of the Taiyi Palace in the hall to leave, and opened the door casually.

I don't know if it's curiosity, the ghost sent Huizhu to stay in the hall, silently standing outside the four open screens, through the carved Fulu Suxi pattern gap, staring intently at the room weakly leaning on the couch Nian's and Yinzhen with his back.
