Chapter 51: Request

"It's so bad, can the queen go?"

Nie Yan groaned.

Wan Hui replied: "The palace maid beside Fang Cairen went to Ningkun Palace first, and then went to Beichen Palace to report the news. ”

Nie Yan nodded when she heard this, but she wasn't ready to join in the fun.

Wan Hui saw that Nie Yan didn't mean to pass on the shoulder, so she asked, "Isn't Niangniang going to take a look?" How can you say that Fang Cairen is also in our palace, and the Duchess of Zhenguo is doing this, isn't Niangniang ......"

"No face, huh?" Nie Yan added what Wan Hui hadn't finished.

Wan Hui was silent, she was afraid that Nie Yan would be angry.

But Nie Yan smiled and said: "Fang Cairen moved to Concubine Qi's palace yesterday by Jiang Guifei, where are the people in this palace?" ”

If Jiang Lan still thought that Nie Yan would stand up for Fang Wan, he would be disappointed.

"No wonder the slave didn't come back all night last night." Wan Hui said suddenly.

"Today, he said that the palace was unwell, and he didn't see any guests." Nie Yan commanded again.

Concubine Qi was afraid that she would make trouble for a long time, so she gave Queen Xu and Jiang Guifei a headache.

Nie Yan only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

In Concubine Qi's palace, Qi Xiao, the Duchess of Zhenguo, looked at Concubine Qi, who was glazed-eyed, and wept.

"Good daughter, don't be afraid, my mother is here."

As Qi Xiao spoke, he wanted to pull Concubine Qi's hand, but Concubine Qi suddenly jumped off the bed like a frightened cat, crying loudly: "Don't come here!" Stay back! Qi Juan, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay! ”

"Ann, what's wrong with you, you can see clearly, I'm a mother. It's not Qi Juan. ”

Qi Xiao shouted Concubine Qi's name sadly, and when she saw Concubine Qi hearing Qi Juan's name, she made even more trouble, so she had no choice but to follow the advice of the imperial doctor and pour Concubine Qi a bowl of soothing soup.

At this time, Empress Xu came in with Fang Wan, who was originally kneeling on the palace road after Qi Xiao entered the palace.

When Qi Xiao saw Fang Wan, she couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes at all, when she came in, she saw that her daughter was afraid of Fang Wan to death, how could a talented person dare to bully her daughter?

must have abused Concubine Qi by taking advantage of the fact that she didn't know anything about her now!

It was Qi Xiao who did not hesitate to order the two grandmothers brought by him to pull Fang Wan out and let her kneel on the palace road to vent her anger to her daughter.

And even if Fang Wan was not convinced, she couldn't resist Qi Xiao's mention of her father, who was still working in the Hanlin Academy, and threatened her father's career and life, so she had to do it.

So much so that now that Queen Xu is here, she just said: "The concubine felt that she didn't take good care of Concubine Qi, so she knelt at the palace gate to punish herself, and it had nothing to do with others." ”

Empress Xu was naturally happy not to oppose the Qi Xiao clan, and since Fang Wan said it so knowingly, she would no longer pursue it.

At this time, the Qi Xiao clan had already saluted Queen Xu.

Queen Xu asked about Concubine Qi's condition, and when she heard that it was still not improving, she was also sad, and then she seemed to be unintentionally said: "Sister Concubine Qi has always been fine, and for some reason, she suddenly committed this disease." ”

Qi Xiao nodded when he heard this: "The courtiers are also unknown, if you want to say that it is because of that cheap ......"

Originally, I wanted to talk about cheap maids, but thinking about Qi Yuanzheng's advice before entering the palace, I changed my words and said: "If you want to say that it is because of Qi Juan, how can it be ten years ago, and besides, that thing was done by the fifth child, what does it matter to our grandmother?" ”

Qi Xiao didn't feel that his daughter was at fault, and all the responsibilities should be borne by the fifth child. In her opinion, isn't the slave just the one who gets in the way of the master?

Empress Xu was also puzzled, and told Qi Xiao what she knew from the palace maid who served Concubine Qi.

"This palace heard that the palace maid next to Concubine Qi's sister said that my sister seems to have seen Qi Juan's 'golden body'?"

When Qi Xiao heard this, he immediately denied it: "How can you let such a thing defile Ah Nan's eyes? At that time, the golden body had just been molded, and Qi Juan's grandfather came to take people away. The courtiers also specially sealed a hundred taels to the old man, so that he would not cause trouble. ”

"The old man is also knowledgeable, he didn't make any noise, and he pulled Qi Juan's golden body away, but the silver, I heard that it was thrown on the street. I don't know which lucky beggar picked it up. ”

Speaking of later, Qi Xiao couldn't hide his mockery.

Although Empress Xu was very dissatisfied with Qi Xiao's style, she would not offend Qi Xiao's because of irrelevant people.

Since Concubine Qi didn't see that kind of scene back then, why is she suddenly so frightened today, ten years later? Is it really a ghost?

It's no wonder that Queen Xu thinks so, this matter is too bizarre, and people are accustomed to blaming the ethereal ghosts and gods for things that cannot be explained.

Seeing that Empress Xu had not spoken for a long time, Qi Xiao opened his mouth and said: "Queen Mother, the courtiers think that since the imperial doctor in the palace cannot cure Concubine Qi, can the courtiers take Concubine Qi back to the Gongfu to take care of it?" ”

This is the reason why Qi Xiao's family entered the palace today, she really didn't worry about Concubine Qi staying in the palace like this. The people in the palace, she knows better than anyone else.

Didn't you see that there was already a talented person who dared to jump out right now? This is still the case of the Zhenguo Mansion, if the Zhenguo Mansion is a little declining in the future, won't the daughter be slaughtered?

Moreover, if Concubine Qi is not cured for a long time and goes crazy for the rest of her life, according to the regulations of the Chu Palace, she will be sent to the cold palace. Qi Xiao is such a daughter, so she naturally doesn't want to let her be wronged in the palace.

But if you want Concubine Qi to return to the Zhenguo Mansion, it is difficult.

Sure enough, Queen Xu shook her head and said: "Duchess Guo, it's not that the palace is unwilling to make it convenient, and the rules in the palace are also clear to you, how can there be a precedent for the palace concubine to go back to her mother's house to live?" ”

"But Ah Nan is like this, the courtiers are really not at ease." Qi Xiao said worriedly.

Empress Xu comforted Qi Xiao and said: "With this palace here, I will definitely take care of Concubine Qi's sister, and the Duchess of Guo is at ease." ”

Where would the Qi Xiao family believe Queen Xu's words, if they really took care of it, there would be only a few talented people bullying Concubine Qi?

But this cannot be said explicitly.

Since he couldn't achieve his goal, he had to retreat to the next best thing, which was also discussed between Qi Xiao and Qi Yuanzheng before entering the palace.

"Can the courtiers leave these two grandmothers to take care of Ah Nan?" Qi Xiao asked.

This time, Qi Xiao's tone was obviously aggravated, and Empress Xu knew that this was already a concession from Qi Xiao.

And accommodating two slave grandmothers to serve in the palace is just a gesture for Queen Xu, and it does not violate the system, so she can respond with a smile: "This is acceptable." ”

The big stone in Qi Xiao's heart was put down, and as for Fang Wan on the side, Qi Xiao gave her a warning look.

Fang Wan understood that if she did anything to Concubine Qi again, Qi Xiao would definitely take her father's knife. Sure enough, the big tree is not so easy to rely on.

Until now, the Jiang Guifei that Fang Wan was looking forward to did not appear.

Empress Xu saw that the Qi Xiao clan didn't seem to pursue Fang Wan anymore, so she also breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to Ningkun Palace early on the grounds that she would not prevent the Qi Xiao clan from accompanying Concubine Qi.

After Empress Xu left, Fang Wan hurriedly went out of the palace, and Qi Xiao didn't pay attention to it, only shouted at the two grandmothers she brought, and said, "You two stay here, not only to take care of Miss, but also to find out how Miss is sick!" ”

Qi Xiao was born in the royal mansion and is the duchess of the country, so she naturally knows a lot of private affairs in the back house, she doesn't believe that Concubine Qi will have an accident for no reason, someone must have harmed her.
