"What are you doing in a daze?! Why don't you ask Imperial Doctor Zhong to come! The old eunuch who was waiting beside him reacted quickly, and shouted to the little eunuch on the side in a sharp voice.

So a group of people divided the labor and carried the peony away.

Xiao Jing looked solemn and left with him.

Everyone else is looking at each other, is it to go or to stay?

Extremely embarrassing.

However, in addition to the embarrassment, the expressions of the guests sitting in front of them were very subtle, and some even exchanged heads and whispered.

One person said, "What is the origin of that Lan concubine?" The face is very raw, but it has a deep sacred heart. ”

The other said: "It doesn't matter what the origin is, the important thing is that the emperor likes it, can you hear what Concubine Nalan said to the emperor when she left?" ”

"I heard a sentence, not really, as if to say, the emperor is satisfied now?"

"Looks like I heard me right."

"Truly won the ...... of the Sacred Heart"

What to say later, Wen Wanrong didn't listen carefully, it seemed that everyone's focus was on the matter of the peony falling red, no one cared about Brother Ying'er, she guessed that the peony might be deliberate.

She has given birth to a child and has experience in pregnancy, so why didn't she tell the emperor, the purpose couldn't be more obvious.

Peony has someone in his heart and is unwilling to give the emperor an heir.

Wen Wanrong hugged Brother Ying'er, didn't want to stay for a long time, said hello to the familiar lady, and left the scene with Qin Yang in advance.

To say that no one really paid attention to Brother Ying'er, no, Concubine Lan was beaten very lightly, maybe the child could not be saved, and the emperor hurriedly followed and left. The whole thing is over, on the cusp, no one is a fool, there is nothing to chew on the root of the tongue, and it is not worth it to offend the royal family for a wind and shadow.

Sitting in the carriage, Brother Ying was still sobbing, he cried into a little tear, hugged Wen Wanrong's neck tightly, and ignored no one. Don't be scared either.

Wen Wanrong sighed and asked the child if he was thirsty? Tired or not?

Brother Ying didn't answer, whimpering, except for crying.

In the end, I was tired of crying halfway, and fell asleep on Wen Wanrong's shoulder.

Qin Yang hugged Brother Ying sideways without making a sound, put it on his lap, and asked Wen Wanrong to drink tea and rest.

Wen Wanrong really couldn't hold it anymore, she moved her shoulders and poured two cups of tea. handed a cup to Qin Yang, lowered his voice and said, "Let's put Brother Ying in our room to sleep these days, the peony incident is very exciting for the child." ”

Qin Yang took a sip of tea, which was considered a default.

Wen Wanrong has never seen Qin Yang to a child other than Sasa, revealing a look like fatherly love, Brother Ying is the first, not biological is better than biological child.

"You feel sorry for him too, don't you?" She leaned over, wiped the tears from the corners of Ying Ge'er's eyes, and looked up at Qin Yang.

Qin Yang held the back of Ying Ge'er's head, and lifted the corner of the thick curtain with his other hand. Glancing out, he spoke: "He is a member of the Qin family, and this is enough." ”

Wen Wanrong chuckled, sat down, leaned on his shoulder, silently, but extremely relieved.

After a while, she stared at Ying Ge'er's eyebrows, remembered something, sat up, and sighed.

What did Qin Yang ask?

Wen Wanrong recalled the fact that Peony's surname was Lan: "I once heard Wen Bogong say that the Lan family was also a smash hit in Yandu for a long time, and later Lan Chen hid for many years after his resignation, but I didn't expect Peony to be a descendant of the Lan family." ”

"Why didn't the Kelan family come to pick her up?"

Qin Yang was not surprised, and answered the question: "Do you know where the Lan family is now and what they do?" ”

Wen Wanrong was slightly stunned: "You know? ”

The corners of Qin Yang's mouth seduced a deep smile: "Do you think that only Xibo Dog understands the boundary of Yandu?" What Lao Tzu knows, he may not know. ”

Wen Wanrong pushed him: "Don't sell Guanzi, say it quickly." ”

"What I can tell you is that the Lan family is now hidden in the black market, and it is the number one leader in black market intelligence."

"The Lan family has entered the black market?" Wen Wanrong's eyes widened in disbelief, "Their family used to be a serious official eunuch, how could they look down on a ninth-rate place." ”

Qin Yang smiled and threw out a simple and complex question: "What is the upper ninth-rate?" What is the Lower Nine Stream? ”

Wen Wanrong pondered for a moment, but couldn't answer.

"What the Lan family has experienced, no one can say, grandmother said that the Lan family is also a retainer who accompanies the Xiao family to fight the world, but it is an official."

"And then?"

"Then it was Lan Chenxiang who suddenly submitted his resignation in the imperial study one day."

"What is the reason, no one knows?"

"No one." The corners of Qin Yang's mouth sank slightly, "There are only two people in the imperial study, this reason became a secret, and they were brought into the coffin by the first emperor, and the Lan family disappeared from then on." ”

Wen Wanrong still had doubts: "But Peony reappeared in the palace as a descendant of the Lan family, and the Lan family didn't care?" ”

Qin Yang laughed out loud and asked rhetorically, "How do you know that the Lan family didn't ask?" ”

After asking such a question, Wen Wanrong was also stunned, she thought yes, Peony has never said that she is the Lan family, it does not mean that the Lan family does not care.

"Wen Wanrong, you haven't thought about how Qin Yu can sneak into Yandu, and how can she stay here safe and sound?" After a pause, he asked again. "You think he's surrounded by Xibers? Is it possible? ”

Wen Wanrong was taken aback: "What do you mean, the Lan family secretly helped Qin Yu?" ”

"It's not impossible."

"When did you know about it?"

"Just now, Song Zhi told me that Peony's surname is Lan."

"You didn't know she belonged to the Lan family before?"

"Places like Powder Alley are all going to have fun, who cares who has the last name." Qin Yang said that she didn't believe it after explaining it a hundred times, "And I suspect that Peony didn't know at all before, or didn't remember that she was the Lan family, if she knew, she would go back directly to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, which would be helpful to the identity of the fine worker, so why commit to Fan Xiang." ”

Now the truth is revealed.

Wen Wanrong guessed a little deeper meaning: "So, the identity of the Lan family of Peony was found by the imperial uncle?" ”

Qin Yang raised his eyebrows: "Do you think the emperor will really give a place to a woman of unknown origin?" ”

Wen Wanrong comprehended and deliberately tempted: "I knew that she was from the Lan family, and my grandmother would definitely not object to entering the Qin family." ”

"Come on, even if you tell your grandmother the truth now, what do you think of your grandmother's attitude?"

"Grandmother doesn't agree?" Wen Wanrong was a little surprised, and guessed, "Because the Lan family is hidden in the black market?" ”

"Don't you understand?"

"The Kelan family was also a wealthy family at the beginning."

"That's when it started." Qin Yang suddenly lowered his voice, "The black market can't see the light, the emperor can get by with one eye closed, if the court has a whim one day, the first one of the Lan family can't run away." ”

Wen Wanrong was stunned: "Doesn't the emperor think of the past." ”

"Remembering the past?" Qin Yang snorted and stopped talking, his expression was self-evident.

People go to tea and cool, let alone walk for so many years.

Wen Wanrong didn't ask any more, the Si Xin Lan family was now like moss growing in the shadows, no matter how lush it was, it was impossible to be exposed to the sun.

Since it can't survive in the sun, the peony naturally can't get any help from the bright side in the palace.

After that, the two didn't say anything all the way.

Until I returned home, the topic of peony and the Lan family stopped.

As for why peonies are left out and even sold to human traffickers, there has been no news for so many years, and after knowing Qin Yu, he became a Xiboguo fine worker, Wen Wanrong didn't think about it or ask in detail.

I'm afraid that the reason for this is only clear to the parties themselves.

Late at night, Brother Ying woke up once, Wen Wanrong fed him some water, and fell asleep again.

Qin Yang heard the movement, came over from the Westinghouse, and asked a few words of concern.

Wen Wanrong told him to rest first, Qin Yang couldn't sleep, and when she saw that Brother Ying was asleep, she pointed to the West House and signaled that she had something to say.

She went with him. I lay down on the couch for a long time, and I didn't see Qin Yang speak.

"Do you have a mind?" Wen Wanrong saw that he was absent-minded.

Qin Yang came back to his senses, pillowed one hand behind his head, and hugged Xiangxiang's shoulder with the other, both angry and helpless: "This time Lao Tzu took the blame for Qin Yu." ”

Wen Wanrong understood and comforted him: "Uncle Huang will not be angry with you because of a woman of unknown origin, take 10,000 steps back, Uncle Huang remembers the past friendship of the Lan family, how can it compare to the contribution made by the Qin family to the imperial court." ”

Qin Yang sighed: "The emperor may not care, but there is a disturbance at the palace banquet, do you think it is a peony?" That's to save royal face. ”

And it's not over.

Wen Wanrong finally realized Concubine Qi Shufei's methods today, thinking that since she intended to tear this veil, was she still afraid of tearing it down?

As Qin Yang said, the emperor will definitely get back if he loses face, and when something happens, he has to be ugly.

Right now, it's impossible to hide.

This night, Wen Wanrong was by Brother Ying'er's side, listening to the child's whispering "Mother, mother", she sighed secretly with a sad face, and often said that it is eventful, and the current situation is in response to this sentence.

At the same time, the same unrest is the dormitory of Lan Xi's concubine, Hehuan Garden.

I really suffered more than a dozen boards, from the back waist to the buttocks, the skin was open, the flesh was blurred, and the pain was beyond measure, and the cramps in the lower abdomen were undoubtedly worse.

Peony hurt until the end of the day, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.

Imperial Doctor Zhong tried everything he could, but the child was not saved after all.

The news of the miscarriage spread to Renshou Palace overnight, and the Queen Mother shook her head when she heard it, scolding her for "doing evil".

When the emperor sat in Hehuan Garden, he didn't drive back to the imperial study until Imperial Doctor Zhong said that there was no major problem for the time being.

This is the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, the palace people are busy for most of the night, and when they see that the concubine Lan Xi who is nested on the couch is sleeping peacefully, they can't stay up, so they find a quiet corner to take a nap.

Full moon and clear light. Illuminating the roof and verandah of Hehuan Garden, a person who looked like a little eunuch gently pushed open the main door of the peony dormitory, poked inside, and whispered to the palace people who were sleepy outside for a long time: "I'll do it for you here, you go and sleep for two hours." ”

The people on duty in the night palace were worried about not being able to sleep, and when they heard that someone was doing it for themselves, they thanked them again and again, and left in a hurry.

The little eunuch walked lightly to the edge of the collapse, and shouted twice: "Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan." ”

Peony frowned slightly. He seemed to react, but he didn't speak.

The little eunuch hesitated for a moment, then walked out, and after a while, another person came in.

This time the visitor was not a little eunuch, but a tall man in a night robe.

He walked silently, stood on the edge of the peony collapse for a long time, decided to pull off the mask, and called "peony" in a low voice.

Peony seemed to have a heart, slowly opened his eyes, turned his eyes, and just glanced at the shoes, and he could tell who it was.

"Qin ...... Yu ......" she was angry, trying to squeeze two words out of her throat.

"I'm here." Qin Yu sat on the edge of the collapse, holding his slightly raised green fingers, and was silent for a moment, "You have suffered." ”

With a few words, she inexplicably poked the most vulnerable place in Peony's heart, she crawled towards him, crouched on the back of her hand, and cried silently, crying out of breath, crying hoarsely, her voice could only make a muffling sound, and her body couldn't help shaking.

I cried until I wanted to speak, but I couldn't say a word.

Crying to the end, her Danko's nails dug into Qin Yu's flesh.

Qin Yu frowned slightly, silently by her side, and let her keep crying.

"I ...... I'm sorry for you. Peony said while crying, even if he could only make a breath sound, he still had to say, "I...... I'm sorry, Brother Ying. ”

"I ......"

"I'm at fault for the whole thing, too." Qin Yu interrupted her.

Then he sighed lightly: "If I had been ruthless, I would have put an end to everything." ”

Peony shook his head and grabbed his hand tightly: "I know your heart is not bad, you just don't say it." ”

A trace of emotion appeared in Qin Yu's eyes: "Peony, I'm a dead man." ”

"I don't care."

"I can't give you anything."

"I don't care."

"You don't care." Qin Yu reached out and touched her face and sighed, "I care." ”

But what about care?

Everyone knows that it is taboo to be emotional, especially the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Qin Yu doesn't know?

He knows better than anyone else.

But people are not plants and trees, no matter how much reason they have, they can't resist the seven emotions and six desires, and they can't get along day and night.

When Qin Yu was tempted by peony, he didn't even know himself.

He repeatedly refused, but Peony was defeated again and again, and the more frustrated he became, the more courageous he became.

Even if he admits it, he will go into danger without hesitation.

As long as the task is completed, they will keep their distance and happily ask him for credit.

But every time in addition to the remuneration due in the army, Qin Yu didn't say a word, and occasionally said a word, Peony would be happy for a long time.

thought that their relationship would continue like this forever, until one day Peony heard out of nowhere that Qin Yu might get married in Xibo, and she couldn't bear it at all.

She used the means of dealing with men on Qin Yu for the first time.

The charm and beauty of the peony have already attracted people's hearts, and with a pack of aphrodisiacs, it completely destroyed Qin Yu's layers of mental defense, and turned the clouds and rain overnight. Enough to hurt people.

So when reason regained the upper hand the next day, Qin Yu didn't say anything, didn't say anything, put on his clothes and left.

Later, they didn't see each other for a long time.

Peony understood that Qin Yu deliberately colded her, so that she knew the advance and retreat and distance of the relationship between the two.

After thousands of calculations, I didn't expect there to be Brother Ying.

Ying Ge'er was an accident and a mistake.

Qin Yu listened to Peony mention pregnancy. At first, there was silence, but the silence was so silent that the corners of the other party's raised mouth gradually closed.

Peony said dejectedly, she understood what he meant, and there was no more to say.

Just as she went to the pharmacy to buy fetal pills, Qin Yu came out halfway and forcibly took her to a spacious and bright courtyard house, telling her that she could raise a fetus here.

If you refuse ruthlessly, or are indifferent to ask Peony to have a baby, this relationship will not have a beginning, and it will not plant the bitter fruits later.

Qin Yu pulled back his thoughts, left a palm-sized medicine jar, and said lightly: "Peony, it's time for me to go." ”

Peony knew that he had ventured into the palace to see her, and he couldn't stay for a long time, so he collected the medicine like a treasure, and asked him in a choked voice, "Can we still meet?" ”

Qin Yu didn't want to look at her disappointed eyes, hesitated slightly, and gave hope: "When this mission is over, I will take you away." ”

Peony's eyes showed a vivid expression: "Really? Even if I'm in tatters? ”

Qin Yu said sincerely: "No matter what, I will take care of you." But the premise is to survive well. ”

Living well is the only thing he asks of her.

"Don't worry, I will." Peony raised her eyes, her eyes were clearly full of tears, but the corners of her mouth raised a happy smile.

Qin Yu frowned for a moment, let go, leaned down and kissed his bitter lips lightly, pulled the mask again, and got up to leave.

Come quietly and go quietly.

Peony touched the residual warmth of her lips, and her stale-like state of mind, which no longer held out any hope, rippled layer after layer.

She was full of satisfaction that they were both Brother Ying and Qin Yu, and she never thought of extending the heirs to Xiao Jing, and she had not changed at all from beginning to end.

She also knew that she was in Xiao Jing's eyes, but she was just a beautiful venting tool, but Xiao Jing didn't let her use contraception, and after checking her background, she sealed her concubine and rewarded the independent palace as a dormitory.

It's not that Peony doesn't understand women fighting, but she has a different purpose, so she doesn't care about competing with the harem concubines for a man.

She thought that the reason why Xiao Jing was unique to her was not how much he liked her, but the most important thing was that she had nothing to do with the previous dynasty.

When Xiao Jing shared the bed with her, he mentioned more than once that he hated the harem for politics, which was also the fundamental reason why the prince had not been established for a long time.

Externally, of course, the reasons are quite good. Since the eight-year-old Sixth Prince is gone, the next Eighth Prince is only four years old and less than five years old, even if Qi Chen nurtures and educates people every day, can he expect a half-old child to learn much.

The prince was young and incapable, so he did not consider the matter of the crown prince.

If the ministers have any opinions in their hearts, they can only respond.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of the lack of a prince that there are heirs in the harem, especially the concubines who gave birth to sons, sharpen their heads and work their children, making a fuss, I am afraid that I will not seize the opportunity and regret it for life.

Originally, all this had nothing to do with peony.

But since Xiao Jing spoiled her night and night in the Baohe Palace, she didn't provoke others, but she was already regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

Peony hid the small medicine jar given by Qin Yu, and his mind became active, if he sat still and waited to die, I am afraid that the next time he will be beaten, it will not be himself, but Brother Ying.

Taking a step back, the child is young, and he may not be beaten with the protection of the Qin family, but there are so many harem methods and poison, and this palace banquet has already taught one or two.

Even if you can't recognize Ying Ge'er, you can't let your children be hurt.

So from the day she came to her senses, she took the initiative to contact the harem, and the first one to stammered was Renshou Palace.

When the palace maid of Hehuan Yuan conveyed the repentance of Concubine Lan, Wen Wanrong was eating tea and chatting with the Queen Mother.

As soon as Wen Wanrong heard this, she understood that Peony had plans to fight back, as if she had no intention of sighing, and cooperated: "Imperial grandmother, grandson is shallow, and the concubine is pitiful." ”

The Queen Mother didn't expect Wen Wanrong to intercede for Peony, so she only asked: "Don't you hate her for going over with Qin Yuma?" ”

Wen Wanrong immediately denied that the child was a peony: "Imperial grandmother, it is rumored in the palace that my brother Ying is the affair between Lan and General Qin before she entered the palace, and her grandson is clumsy, I really don't see where Brother Ying and Lan Concubine are similar?" ”

She insisted on saying no, and the Queen Mother naturally didn't want to say anything: "Do you think it's not?" ”
