Chapter 34: The Cold Palace
Inform Xiao Yu? Nie Yan didn't expect Xiao Yu to meddle in the affairs of the harem at first, and the only thing she thought about was to use Jiang Guifei to disagree with Queen Xu, so that Queen Xu had to deal with Concubine Zhao.
But I didn't expect that Queen Xu and Concubine Qi's side reacted quite quickly, found a scapegoat so quickly, and blatantly tossed away the physical evidence.
"The concubine doesn't want His Majesty to worry." Nie Yan softened her voice and said.
Xiao Yu stretched his brows when he heard this, and explained: "If you just leave a person with bad intentions in Beichen Palace, I will be even more worried. ”
Nie Yan had no choice but to promise that if something happened in the future, she would definitely not hide it from Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu then said: "I still have a piece of music to see, and I will accompany you in the evening." ”
Nie Yan sent Xiao Yu away, and when she saw that the eldest prince was still in the palace, she frowned and said, "If you do this, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble." ”
The eldest prince said: "Do it or not, those people will do it to me sooner or later." Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to strike first. ”
"You've grown up fast." Nie Yanqi said.
At this time, the eldest prince could not see a little childishness, and it was hard to imagine that not long ago, the eldest prince was still fooled by a eunuch.
"A lot of things have happened in the past few days, if you don't understand it anymore, you will end up with your mother."
The mother concubine mentioned by the eldest prince at this time was naturally not Nie Yan, but the imperial concubine.
Nie Yan only felt that it was a good thing that the eldest prince was more mature and stable, at least it could distract her less.
"Your mother will be relieved to be in the spirit of heaven."
After Nie Yan finished speaking, he went to the palace of the talented people, leaving only the eldest prince in the main hall looking at Nie Yan's back thoughtfully.
Fang Wan was lying on the couch at this time, the dose she was taking was not large, and after drinking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, Fang Wan had already woken up at this time.
"I've seen the lady concubine, and the concubine can't get up and salute." Fang Wan said weakly.
Although there is no need to worry about his life, he has also hurt his body in the end, and the imperial doctor said that he needs to recuperate for a long time.
Nie Yan didn't bother with Fang Wan about this, looked at Fang Wan's pale face, and said, "Presumably you also know that Concubine Zhao has been sent to the Heart Washing Palace by His Majesty, right?" ”
Fang Wan heard this: "Didn't Concubine Qi stand up and intercede for Concubine Zhao?" ”
Concubine Qi didn't say a word from beginning to end, but Queen Xu frequently exonerated Concubine Zhao. But the whole thing, the one who benefited the most, was Jiang Guifei, who didn't do anything. ”
Nie Yan also had to admit that Concubine Jiang Guifei was indeed lucky, and she easily got the right to associate the sixth palace.
"Although Concubine Zhao said that she went to the cold palace, Concubine Qi and the queen may not give up, and the concubine's life has to be rescued by the mother."
Fang Wan was not carried away by the temporary upper hand.
Nie Yan rarely comforted Fang Wan and said, "You take care of it, Concubine Jiang will be in charge of the Sixth Palace on the same day, and Queen Xu doesn't have that time to take care of Concubine Zhao for the time being." ”
"But Concubine Qi is there ......," Fang Wan said uneasily.
"You also said that she is just a concubine." Nie Yan didn't care.
Fang Wan saw that Nie Yan seemed to be full of confidence, and she didn't say anything more.
After Nie Yan explained that the palace people around Fang Wan should serve her well, she took Su Yun to the Heart Washing Palace.
It's not that Nie Yan wants to go down the well, but she wants to ask where Zhao Concubine got the oleander that Zhao Concubine gave to Zhushuang in the first place.
The record book of the imperial pharmacy was destroyed suddenly, although Nie Yan thought that there were records in the imperial pharmacy early in the morning, but this imperial pharmacy was one of the most important places in the palace, just with Nie Yan's current strength, it was not enough to put her hand into the imperial pharmacy, and it was impossible to check the roster.
Now that the record book has been destroyed, Nie Yan wants to see if she can ask for something from Concubine Zhao.
The Heart Washing Palace is worthy of being a cold palace, and as soon as she stepped into the palace gate, Nie Yan shuddered.
In these places of the cold palace, there are some criminal concubines who no one cares about, and the treatment will naturally not be much better. The walls of the palace are full of signs of disrepair.
Concubine Zhao was arranged to live in a small room in the side hall, there was nothing in the room except a table, a chair and a bed, and the quilt on the bed still exuded a disgusting musty smell.
"No...... I don't want to live here, don't! As soon as Concubine Zhao entered the house, she made a fuss, turned around and was about to run out, but the eunuch who sent her hurriedly stopped her.
Concubine Zhao did not give up, relying on her background as a general, she had learned simple moves, and wanted to break free from the control of the eunuchs.
It is said that the eunuch is no longer a man, but his strength is greater than that of the pampered Zhao Concubine after all, and there are many people, although he has suffered a little, he still restrained Zhao Concubine in the end.
Nie Yan stepped into the Heart Washing Palace, and what she saw was that Zhao Concubine was wearing a cloak, tied with ropes by the eunuchs, and a ball of linen cloth was stuffed in her mouth.
When those eunuchs saw someone coming, they stopped their movements, and looked at Nie Yan's clothing regulations, and they understood that the person in front of them was not of low grade, but they didn't know what to call it.
Nie Yan's days in the palace are not too long, and it is normal for these eunuchs in the cold palace not to know each other.
"This is the lady concubine of Beichen Palace." Su Yun reminded.
Only then did the eunuchs salute and said, "The slave has seen the lady concubine, the lady Jin'an." ”
"No courtesy. How did she become like this? Nie Yan asked.
"Back to Niangniang, this person is not subject to control, and he wants to escape from the Heart Washing Palace, and the minions have to tie her up." The eunuch, who looked of a higher grade of clothing, replied.
Nie Yan didn't plan to let Zhao Concubine loosen her bindings, but she gave Su Yun a look.
Su Yun understood, stepped forward and stuffed a bag of silver into the eunuch's hand without leaving a trace, and said, "My mother-in-law has a few words to say to her, and I also ask my father-in-law to make it convenient."
The eunuch took the money and glanced at the eunuchs in the cold palace, and the eunuchs dispersed.
And the eunuch himself walked to the corner of the wall in the distance with great interest. He has been in the palace for a long time, and he has been in the cold palace all the year round, so he is obviously not surprised by this kind of thing.
Although the concubine in the cold palace can no longer have contact with people outside, as long as he has silver, he is happy to make it convenient.
Besides, Nie Yan's position is not low, and he is not good to offend to death.
Nie Yan motioned for Su Yun to remove the sackcloth that was stuck in Concubine Zhao's mouth.
"What are you here to do? Did you come to see my jokes? "Concubine Zhao didn't have a good airway.
Nie Yan smiled: "This palace is not so boring. ”
"And what are you going to do?"
"This palace is here to save your life." Nie Yan replied.
Concubine Zhao snorted coldly: "Your Majesty just ordered me to be sent to the Heart Washing Palace, but he didn't say that he would kill my head." ”
"Your Majesty didn't say he was going to kill you. But some people don't want you to live. ”
"Who? Is it Fang Wan? "Concubine Zhao's first thought is Fang Wan, isn't it Fang Wan herself who framed her this time?
But then Concubine Zhao shook her head and sneered: "She is not so capable, at most she framed me here." ”
Nie Yan shook her head and said, "Have you ever heard of a sentence?" ”
"What?"
"The more you know, the faster you die. Isn't that how Bamboo Frost died? ”
After Nie Yan finished speaking, Concubine Zhao's face changed drastically, and she looked at Nie Yan in horror and said, "You ......."
