400 Lan Concubine
I was relieved and asked her why she was crying. She said that Lan Concubine really hit a bracelet of the same style, and that bracelet had three more rubies than hers. Three ruby treasures are nothing in the eyes of ordinary big families, but what are they in the eyes of her mother? Things are secondary, the important thing is the meaning, although Lan Concubine doesn't talk much, but there are hidden tricks everywhere, these three red treasures are to suppress her.
"If that's all there is, then that's fine, the key is that Concubine Lan changed hands and gave the bracelet to the palace maid next to her in front of Concubine Yu. She made it very realistically on her face, saying that she was grateful for the good of the palace maid, so she rewarded it, and even the emperor was hidden from her, and she didn't think of the depths. But Concubine Yu is a woman, she understands Concubine Lan too well, she has tolerated it for so many years, first Xuanhui, then Concubine Lan, and there are times when she can't hold on.
"We didn't go to the garden that day, but stayed in the palace for a while, and Concubine Yu was a strong and forgiving person, and she quickly recovered her mood and talked to me about other things. That was the first time, and she told me in person that she wanted to conceive a child and to see him as smart and cute as Hui An.
"I know she feels lonely, and I want my husband to come and see her by watching the children. At that time, the emperor had been close to her for two whole years. I can only comfort her. It didn't take long for the news that the emperor was going to take her, Concubine Lan and Hui'an to the other palace to cool off.
"That evening, she suddenly called me to the palace and asked me, do you want the grace of the Huo family to continue from generation to generation? I was stunned. I am the patriarch of the Huo family, of course I want to. Grandpa Guo grew up with the emperor, and this friendship is more awe-inspiring in the eyes of others, but it is precisely because of growing up together that Grandpa Guo has also figured out the emperor's temper.
"He told me that the emperor likes to play tricks very much, and he is afraid that the Huo family will also be restrained. Sure enough, after the emperor ascended the throne, he reused a group of ministers, and he became increasingly cold to the noble family, but he was as kind to the Huo family as ever. Even if we are still in full swing, we are gradually treading on thin ice in such an environment.
"Of course Concubine Yu understood this situation at the time, and as soon as she asked me like this, I knew that there was a following."
Speaking of this, Old Madam Huo breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly turned around from the window, and looked at them.
"I don't know what Concubine Yu said to the old lady?"
Xie Wan couldn't help but take a step forward. Mrs. Huo's words seem to have brought her into the harem more than forty years ago, and every sentence affects her emotions.
"She told me that if I help her do one thing, then she will make the Huo family stand forever in the Dayin Dynasty in the future, let my daughter become the crown princess and even the queen, and let our two families marry for generations to come.
"To be honest, I didn't believe it at the time. Because even if she is the concubine with the highest status, but Concubine Lan's limelight has already overtaken her, and she has no heirs under her knees, and her means are not as good as Concubine Lan, whether she can be canonized is not certain, aren't these words equal to empty vernacular? But when I heard what she said, all my worries vanished.
"She told me that she was going to take this opportunity to get rid of Prince Hui'an. I was startled, but I was honest again under her gaze. What kind of eyes is that? Resolute, ruthless, domineering, I've never seen anyone look like this, I can see that she is serious, but I am still a little surprised that she trusts herself so much.
"After all, this kind of thing is not to be said and done, even if it is said to be a capital crime. Moreover, why did she get rid of Prince Hui'an? After hearing what she said, I couldn't help but gasp again.
"It turned out that the death of the fetus in her womb was not for no reason, but from Lan Concubine. When Concubine Yu was taking care of Xuan Hui who was sick, she was unanimously grateful to Xuan Hui and the emperor, and not long after Xuan Hui died, there was news that Concubine Yu was pregnant.
It was raining that day, and she asked Concubine Yu to secretly rub a thick layer of pancreas under her clogs when she was taking a nap, and when Concubine Yu got up and went out, she fell. The child is gone. Afterwards, the female official found pancreas on her clogs, and she secretly checked again, and soon found out the truth from the palace people under Concubine Lan.
"Concubine Yu can really bear it. If it were me, how could I endure it for two years? However, in that case, it is really not suitable to disclose Lan Concubine's crime, because this is a double-edged sword, while punishing Lan Concubine, the emperor who is still immersed in the grief of Xuanhui's death will definitely be angry with Concubine Shangyu, and if he wants revenge, he can only choose a shadowless method.
In those two years, she tolerated Concubine Lan, while recuperating her body, she was looking for opportunities. And the emperor's decree to go to the other palace obviously shows that her opportunity has come. The last time I entered the palace, she had already made up her mind to get rid of Concubine Lan, but there would be other concubines in addition to Concubine Lan, thinking about it, she only needs to ascend to the back position to be able to fully control her fate.
"There is only one premise for her to ascend to the back seat, which is to be pregnant with a dragon fetus.
But even if she is pregnant with the imperial heir, it will not be her child's turn to inherit the throne, and when the time comes, if Prince Hui'an knows that Concubine Lan died at her hands, he will also hurt her in turn. Moreover, if she becomes the queen, her child will not be able to become the prince, and it will be a tragedy in the future. Therefore, in order to achieve the final success, Prince Hui'an must also be removed.
"I actually had a lot of patience at the time, because Hui'an was so cute, and I could see that she couldn't bear it, but in this way, she could be relieved, she became the queen, and our Huo family would have a bright and stable future. I married into the Huo family to enjoy happiness, and I don't want the Protector Mansion to fall in my hands. At least with this handle, she can't help but take care of the Huo family.
"My heart is impressed by her conditions, and even if Prince Hui'an does not die at her hands, there will definitely be someone else who will attack him in the future. Why don't I just help Concubine Yu get rid of her troubles, so that she can smoothly ascend to the back seat, and then come back to help the Huo family?
So we came to an agreement after half a day of silence.
Not long after, they set off to the other palace to cool off, because the East China Sea won the battle, and the emperor Longyan Dayue went for several months, saying that it was to cool off, and he didn't leave to return to Beijing until September.
"On the day they returned to Beijing, there was a sudden wind, and the previously sunny weather suddenly changed, and a temple fair was being held at Xiangguo Temple along the way. This is also something we have secretly discussed a long time ago. I remember that it was also like this, when the cold wind was gradually rising, that day Grandpa Guo and I were preparing for the reward of the Double Ninth Festival, and suddenly someone sent a secret letter from Concubine Yu to the door. Tell me she's almost there and get me ready.
Their Luan drove into the city, and the lively Prince Hui'an really saw the lively scene of the temple fair, and Concubine Yu had already told him that there were all kinds of delicious and fun things at the temple fair, which he had never seen or had only heard of. The three-year-old child is just playful, and he is Concubine Yu, who has always loved him, and now he has a glimpse of two points of beauty, how can he resist such a temptation?
Hui An clamored to go to the temple fair. In fact, if the emperor didn't favor him so much, our plan would not have succeeded later, but he favored him too much, not only killed him, but also made so many things later.
"The emperor still refused, Prince Hui'an was Yang Concubine Yu, of course Concubine Yu was unwilling at the beginning, Concubine Lan pointed to Hui'an to close the emperor's heart, but she would not disobey Hui'an's mind, and when she had the intention of pleading, Concubine Yu pushed the boat and left it alone, and the emperor naturally agreed. So it was temporarily diverted to the Protector's Mansion. ”
With that, she walked over to the table and took the tea she had served earlier. The tea should have been cold a long time ago, but she drank it without frowning, and her hands trembled slightly, revealing her uneasy heart.
"This accident was really premeditated, but I still can't think of why Hui'an died of smallpox again? He got smallpox, so why were all the people who went out with him safe? ”
Xie Wan said quietly. At that time, Hui'an was only as big as Yin Xu, and he didn't know anything, so he became a tool for the battle in the harem.
"That's because we're all prepared."
Mrs. Huo put down the tea bowl, I don't know if it was because she drank cold tea, or because the past was unbearable, she propped her hands on the table, and her whole body began to tremble slightly.
"Of course, I can't do this alone, and we are destined to not let more people know about it. So I only told my grandfather, who was still the son of the world at that time. After listening to me at that time, Grandpa Guo was also so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he even wanted to beat me at one point, but it didn't take long for me to get pregnant, and I mentioned this matter to Grandpa Guo again, talking about all the pros and cons, and he was tempted.
So with his help, he looked for more than a dozen generals who had already had chickenpox in the Chinese military camp in advance. I found a few pieces of equipment that had just been removed from the smallpox patients, tested the results, and put them away. After the arrival of the emperor and his entourage on this day, all the people in our palace came out to wait, the emperor and Concubine Yu stayed in the palace, and Concubine Lan took Hui'an out.
"I touched all the things that were prepared by Hui An, and even used them for tea. Finally, he added a small jacket to protect him from the cold.
"Grandpa Guo asked Grandpa Guo to find someone to escort him, and Grandpa Guo picked out those who had chickenpox and drove them to the house. Watching the innocent and lovely Hui An go out with them without knowing it, in the September day, my hands and back were full of sweat. And Concubine Yu is very natural, I know that she really loves Hui'an, she can do it to such a point without shock, it can be seen how long she has been prepared.
"The night was uneventful. As expected, an hour later, Concubine Lan came back happily with Hui An, and the whole house was relieved to see that they were safe and sound, and then returned to the palace. ”r1152
