It all started 10 years ago.

At that time, Concubine Qi was still a six or seven-year-old child, and because of the status of the Zhenguo Mansion, many relatives of the Qi family came to take refuge.

Among them was a five-year-old girl named Qi Juan, who followed her grandfather to seek refuge.

Qi Juan's grandfather can make Zhenguo Gong call him a cousin.

At that time, the Duke of Zhenguo looked at Qi Juan and felt that he was similar in age to his beloved daughter Concubine Qi and should be able to become a playmate, so he let Qi Juan stay in the Mansion directly, and everything was treated according to the treatment of Miss Gongzi in the house.

At the beginning, Concubine Qi and Qi Juan got along well, and they really looked like little sisters. But it all ended on the day Princess Beiqing came to visit her daughter and granddaughter.

Princess Beiqing brought her granddaughter Concubine Qi a tassel skirt made of Persian tribute silk, which was only stored in tribute from Persia before the Chu State was in trade at that time.

And with the status of the Beiqing Palace, it is natural to be able to select the best of the Persian tribute.

Concubine Qi got good things, and according to the little girl's mind at that time, she would naturally show her baby to her playmates.

It was Qi Juan who saw the skirt, Qi Juan was still young at the time, just because when her grandfather left, she told her not to offend Concubine Qi, so she didn't dare to say what she liked, but she praised it again and again.

However, children can't suppress their emotions after all, and the next afternoon, Qi Juan sneaked into Concubine Qi's room while Concubine Qi and Princess Beiqing were out playing, and took out the skirt and put it on her body.

Coincidentally, Concubine Qi accidentally twisted her foot that day and had to go home early, so she bumped into Qi Juan, who was wearing her skirt.

Concubine Qi suddenly had a feeling of betrayal, and she was in a very bad mood because she was injured, so she casually said to the guards of the Beiqing Palace, who sent her back: "Old Five, since she likes that skirt, she will never be able to take it off!" ”

The guard named Lao Wu is the commander of the secret guard of the Beiqing Palace, and his methods are the most vicious and vicious, this is the most beloved granddaughter of the king and princess of Beiqing, how dare he not do it?

Lao Wu completely ignored the question of whether Concubine Qi was still a child, and really thought of 'wearing' that dress on Qi Juan forever.

When Qi Juan's grandfather rushed to the Zhenguo Mansion, he only saw Qi Juan 'wearing' clothes, and he suddenly burst into tears, but he knew that he couldn't bring down the Zhenguo Mansion, so he had to take Qi Juan away.

No one knows where he went.

After all, the person who does things is the fifth child of the Beiqing Palace, and the town of Guogong is not easy to do. When Princess Beiqing heard about this, she didn't punish the fifth child, but just told her to stop letting her good granddaughter think of that person.

Soon, Zhen Guogong found a new playmate for Concubine Qi, who was a child and forgot quickly, she only knew that Qi Juan was picked up by her grandfather, and even the fifth child didn't know how to deal with Qi Juan.

Until now, Concubine Qi seemed to suddenly remember Qi Juan, as if she suddenly knew Qi Juan's death.

I couldn't accept that my childhood playmate was like that in the end, but I was scared crazy.

Nie Yan frowned after hearing this, although this Qi Juan did exceed the rules, but in the end she was still young, and her sin was not to death, but she didn't expect the people in the Beiqing Mansion to be so vicious, and they could be so vicious to a five-year-old girl.

She could fully believe that Concubine Qi really didn't want Qi Juan to die at that time. After all, he was a better playmate at that time, and he was not a grass and tree, so who could be ruthless?

Nie Yan felt that the people in the Beiqing Mansion were too vicious.

"How did the mother know?" Nie Yan suddenly asked Jiang Guifei.

This kind of thing should be a secret matter of the Qi family, is it inappropriate for Jiang Guifei to say it so openly? You must know that Empress Xu is also listening to her.

But Jiang Guifei explained: "Your Majesty heard this name from Concubine Qi's mouth, and wanted to find out the reason why Concubine Qi went crazy, so he ordered someone to find out." After His Majesty heard about this, he was angry, so he left Concubine Qi and returned to the Taiji Palace. ”

"I see."

Nie Yan wondered why she hadn't seen Xiao Yu appear after coming here for so long, it turned out that she had been here a long time ago, and she was angry and left.

In this regard, Nie Yan said that she could understand that anyone who found out that the person next to her pillow and his relatives had such a vicious style, he would have some emotions.

Beiqing Wangfu is of the same origin as Xiao Yu.

Not only Xiao Yu, but even Nie Yan, a bystander, felt that the Qi family and the Beiqing Mansion were too domineering, and Qi Juan was really pitiful.

As for why Concubine Qi suddenly went crazy because of what happened ten years ago, Nie Yan faintly felt that maybe it had something to do with Jiang Guifei.

Concubine Qi had already calmed down after taking medicine, and Empress Xu seemed to have no hope for Concubine Qi, and said to Jiang Guifei: "I'll leave it to you here." The palace was unwell, so I went back to the palace first. ”

Jiang Guifei naturally couldn't ask for it, and was busy giving gifts to Queen Xu.

Nie Yan also saluted.

As soon as Empress Xu left on her front foot, the palace maid beside Jiang Guifei on her back foot walked in with Fang Wan.

Nie Yan's eyes lit up, and she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Fang Wan and Jiang Guifei.

"The concubine has seen the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang." Fang Wan saluted respectfully.

Jiang Guifei commanded: "Get up, this place will be handed over to you." Concubine Qi is seriously ill, there must always be a master in charge of affairs in this palace, you can stay in Concubine Qi's palace to take care of it for a few days. ”

Fang Wan responded unsurprisingly.

At this time, Nie Yan still didn't understand their purpose, with Fang Wan here, Concubine Qi's illness, don't think about it anyway.

But the Zhenguo Mansion will really let Concubine Qi fend for herself in this palace?

Beiqing Palace, will let his granddaughter be wronged?

But seeing that Jiang Guifei seemed to be full of confidence, Nie Yan was not sure.

After Jiang Guifei instructed the palace people in Concubine Qi's palace, she returned to the palace first, and gave Nie Yan a look that seemed to have a deep meaning when she left.

Nie Yan didn't understand yet, but she saw Fang Wan coming over pitifully and asked, "Can Concubine Shuniang blame her concubine?" ”

"Blame you? What to blame? Is it your fault that you went to the concubine behind your back? ”

Nie Yan sneered.

Fang Wan still looked pitiful, bowing her head and saying nothing.

"People go to high places, and water flows low places. You're not wrong. After Nie Yan finished speaking, she also prepared to return to the palace.

After Fang Wan heard this, she wanted to speak and stopped.

Nie Yan remembered that Fang Wan had helped her calculate Concubine Zhao, and when she left, she said one more sentence: "The road is long, you have to distinguish whether the front is a sunny avenue or an abyss." This palace is all it says, you are good for yourself. ”

After saying that, Nie Yan turned around and left, leaving Fang Wan alone frowning, her expression uncertain, and she didn't know if she understood.

On the contrary, after Nie Yan said those words to Fang Wan, she understood what Jiang Guifei meant by the glance she looked at her.
