198 A warning to Xuan Ye (5000 words, with one more.)
Shen Penal Division, why did you send Huan Chun and them to Shen Penal Division? Lan Qi, who had just woken up, was full of doubts, and was so scared of these three words that she couldn't speak, and there was a sudden excitement in her heart, she stretched out her hand to cover her stomach, looked at Xuan Ye in a panic, and was almost about to cry, Xuan Ye hurriedly came up and shook her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, the child is still there, the child is fine." ”
Hearing this, Lan Qi's muscles and bones suddenly relaxed, and her expression softened weakly, Xuan Ye picked her up and hugged her in his arms, gently rubbed her arms, and said in a deep tone: "I saw you fall in front of my eyes, my eyes were closed and unconscious, I was really going crazy at that moment, if you went like this, what should I do?" I can't see you in the days to come, how will I live? ”
Lan Qi's cold heart warmed up slightly, and she still had the heart to joke: "Doesn't the emperor usually haven't seen his concubines for a long time?" ”
"Don't be mad at me." Xuan Ye's words were sad, and he hugged her body harder, "I can't live without you." ”
Lan Qi burst into tears, she probably understood what was going on, fortunately, God blessed her again, let her be safe, and did not let the child leave, fear, warmth and gratitude, all kinds of emotional entanglements, finally couldn't help crying, turned around and fell on Xuan Ye's chest and sobbed, her back was gently stroked one by one, and her excited emotions slowly became calm.
Xuan Ye's eyes were deep, and there was even more anger that made people tremble: "Huanchun, they let you eat something you shouldn't eat, no matter what, you can't be exempted from responsibility, everyone who handled it was sent to the Criminal Division for investigation, they were the ones who suffered, but it was everyone in this palace who I wanted to determine." I'm just spoiling you and hurting you, what's wrong? I want to see which faction's ministers in front of me dare to jump out and talk nonsense, just to investigate corruption * rat traps, none of them are clean in the first place, who wants to fill in the knife, I will fulfill them. ”
Lan Qi felt the trembling of the speaker's body, hugged him distressedly, and blamed herself: "The concubines are also negligent, the emperor, don't let the people of the Shen Criminal Division abuse and beat Huanchun, is it okay, the concubines must be careful in the future, can you spare them?" ”
"I have my own measure, this time I can't allow you to intercede, you are careless, and I will settle it with you in the future." Xuan Ye stretched out his hand to wipe away Lan Qi's tears, and said seriously, "Do you know what you ate?" It's really strange that the Imperial Doctor found a drug in your remaining bird's nest, and it's so easy to get started, why is it a drug, not a poison, that makes me feel terrified. Lanqi, do you know, this is a provocation and intimidation by those people, they must be warning me something, telling me that I want to harm the people around me, it's easy to do it. ”
Lan Qi has never seen the emperor so angry, even if he loses his temper for the ministers of the court in the Qianqing Palace, he is not as angry as he is now, with the personnel she knows, the emperor's gaze she sees now can be said to be a little vicious, but his anger is not aimed at himself, but at those who threaten the imperial power and threaten himself, so she is not afraid, but she is shocked from the heart to the body.
"The concubine knows, Your Majesty, don't be angry." Lan Qi didn't dare to intercede for Huanchun and them, coaxed Xuan Ye to let him relax, the emperor's anger really gradually dissipated, Lan Qi felt that the person holding him was no longer so hard, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Xuan Ye also put her back on the pillow and told her to rest well, "The imperial doctor said that although it didn't hurt the fetus, there must be something that hurt the body in the drug, if you still hurt this child, don't get out of bed again, don't write or read, lie quietly for a few days, things outside have their own, before Huanchun and they come back, someone will take care of you, They won't stay in the Sentencing Division for long, they won't be severely abused, and I want them to take care of you. ”
Lan Qi held back her tears and agreed one by one, and Xuan Ye called someone to move the folds back to Yonghe Palace, and then coaxed Lan Qi a few words to let her sleep and rest, and after half an hour, she still left.
And this matter, as early as the slaves up and down the Yonghe Palace were sent to the Shen Criminal Division for torture spread throughout the harem, all palaces and courtyards were hanging with a heart, before Rong Concubine went to Zhongcui Palace to talk to Duan Concubine, Dai Chang was saying that Bu Guiren was crying so sad that he couldn't come to ask for peace, and Rong Concubine also sighed: "If Lan Qi has a mistake, it will be difficult for Bu Guiren to get better in the future, and their sisters are of the same heart." ”
And on this side, Yi Concubine also went to Changchun Palace early and came back, Tao Hong has not seen her master so proud for a long time, she is not sleepy at the moment, she is not willing to touch Princess Kejing at night, but tonight she personally coaxed her, played and laughed with her, until the princess fell asleep, she also looked at the child with great interest, and Tao Hong came to urge her to sleep, she smiled: "When can I raise my own birth and raise by my side, it must be more lovely than Kejing." ”
Later, when she was washing, she heard the master say to her: "Wu Ya's tree is very popular, we really don't have to worry about anything, some people want to clean her up, Sister Hui said, I want to sit and collect the profits, and the good days are still ahead." ”
Taohong waited diligently, and after hearing too many such words, she couldn't help but persuade: "The slave thinks that the master still has to guard against Hui Concubine, Hui Concubine Niangniang is mercenary, if she does something behind your back, in case it is not good to be exposed one day, in order to protect yourself, push it on you, and you don't know anything, and you are even more speechless, who will help you then?" ”
Yi Concubine was excited, this sentence was like a basin of cold water poured down, but she was still rational and a little smart, thinking carefully about Taohong's words, and said to herself: "But how can I guard against her, I'm afraid that if I do a little too much, I will fight with her, she is the most smart person, if you see that I guard against her, how can I not help me in the future?" After all, there are so many women in the palace, and she uses everyone the same. I don't want to be taken advantage of by her, but without her, I have no helper. ”
Taohong said: "There are many masters in the palace, but there is only one concubine in Yikun Palace, and the slave maid thinks that Hui Concubine Niangniang will not easily give up and befriend you, no matter whether you really guard against her or not, in Hui Concubine's heart, she thinks of you like this, she must always think about you to guard against her." ”
Yi Concubine was a little confused when she heard it, and she only understood when she thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh and say Taohong: "How do you understand so much?" ”
Taohong only said: "The slave and maid are bystanders, and when I have seen the ups and downs of several masters over the years, the slave and maid will inevitably have some ideas." ”
Yi Concubine gratefully pulled her and said, "I will treat you well, you have to stay with me all the time, Taohong, I am in this palace, and I really have no relatives." ”
Taohong is also loyal again and again, she just saw through it, only to understand that she will not have a good life without Yi Concubine, and don't think about extravagant hopes when she is old enough to leave the palace, Yi Concubine will not let her go, in this life, she only hopes that there will be no mistakes, and she can live steadily and deservedly, she has no great wisdom and does not dare to make up her mind, but the bystanders are clear, and from time to time she mentions a sentence or two, for the good of the master, but also for her own good.
However, for the sake of Concubine De being drugged, there are those who are sad and sad like Bu Guiren, and there are those who gloat like Yi Concubine, but Concubine Hui is not these two emotions, she is neither sad nor happy, but she is just uneasy. It turns out that there are still forces in the palace that she can't see or touch, and it is Wu Ya's family who is calculating today, and it may fall on her head tomorrow, so many years, whether it is Concubine Zhao in the past, or who is it now, in this deep palace, what she can't shake is the sadness of her lips and teeth, this night is sleepless, and she can't care about what Baoyun or eyeliner the next day, so she hurriedly asked her henchmen to invite someone from Mingzhu's house.
In addition, because of the drugging of the concubine, Yonghe Palace found a lot of drugs, it is inevitable that similar things will happen in other palaces, under the will of the Empress Dowager, the Zongren Mansion and the Internal Affairs Office, Jingshifang will work together to check all the palaces and courtyards, such a big movement will inevitably affect the government and the opposition, but because the victim is the concubine, and several major factions in the DPRK and China have nothing to do with it, all the forces are just waiting to see what happens, and some people are ventilated to learn of the emperor's anger, and they know that they can not challenge the emperor's patience at this juncture.
The next day, all day, up to Concubine Tong Guifei's Chengqian Palace, down to the small courtyard where she promised to always be, as if she had entered the moon in advance, the entire Forbidden City was almost turned over, and when Concubine Tong stood in the courtyard and watched people search for unclean things, she scolded those minions while holding the frightened Yinzhen: "Be careful of your dog's paws, everything here in this palace is priceless, and if you fall and touch it, you want your head." ”
Everyone didn't dare to annoy the concubine, they only said that it was the meaning of the top, and Concubine Tong was even more annoyed, and she said in public without taboo: "The emperor is too, for the sake of a virtuous concubine, the chickens and dogs in the six palaces are restless, aren't you afraid of causing evil to her?" He scolded those little eunuchs who were checking everywhere for not taking their hands and feet seriously, and the concubine was angry and made other troubles, and the Chengqian Palace just went through the motions, and it didn't take long for them to withdraw.
Qinglian came up to persuade the master: "You say these words, those eunuchs and palace maids must go outside to say it, how can it be good to make the Lord Banzai unhappy?" ”
The concubine sneered: "Who in the palace doesn't think like this, is the emperor still waiting for me to say?" If I say it honestly, isn't it better than those who have dirty thoughts and curse behind their backs? ”
"Eniang, don't be angry." Yinzhen saw that her mother was so angry, and the smart child knew what was going on, although she didn't understand it yet, she didn't want to see the concubine raise her eyebrows, hugged the concubine and kissed her a few times, and said coquettishly, "Yinzhen is good, Eniang is not angry, Yinzhen kisses Eniang." ”
"It's still my son who loves his mother." Only then did the concubine come to her senses, hugged the fourth elder brother and couldn't put it down, regretting that she was so fierce in front of the child just now, so she didn't allow the people in the palace to mention this matter again.
Naturally, the search of the six palaces in the east and west will not leave the Xianfu Palace, Concubine Wen is very calm, leading the Juechan clan to sit under the corridor, holding the eighth elder brother in her arms, and baking a charcoal basin on the side, watching the palace maids and eunuchs go in and out as if watching a play, and only after half an hour did someone come to tell her, saying that there is nothing suspicious in the Xianfu Palace, but it is inevitable that the villains will continue to do evil, please Concubine Wen must be careful.
Concubine Wen smiled coldly: "I'm like this, who cares about doing evil and framing you, you worry about it in vain." ”
Everyone laughed awkwardly, and then quickly dispersed, Dong Yun led the palace maids to clean up their things, and the Juechan clan said goodbye to go back to their own house, but Concubine Wen said: "Let Xianghe go and clean up, the charcoal basin is still burning very warm, and the tea is not cold, let's sit for a while." ”
Saying this, she asked the nurse to take the eighth elder brother away, as soon as the child's hot swaddling clothes took off her hand, Concubine Wen inevitably felt cold, and quickly took the hand stove to cover it, looked at Juechan with a smile, and asked her: "I see that you have been willing to go out and walk around recently, where have you gone, how about we go together next time?" ”
Jue Chan frowned slightly, lowered his head and said: "The concubine went to Changchun Palace, and the concubine often came to care about the concubine's body in the summer, and the concubine is now healed, so she wants to thank the concubine." ”
"Concubine Hui is considerate, I heard that not only do I often come to see you in the summer, but a few days ago, whenever I was not in Xianfu Palace, she would come to the door, but ah......" Concubine Wen let out a long sigh, "Does she hate me very much?" They all came to Xianfu Palace, so they can't talk to me? Anyway, you deliberately avoid me, or is there something between you that is unseemly? ”
Jue Chan left her seat and bent her knees, her face was just in front of the charcoal basin, and the black charcoal burst open and raised sparks, which made her blind, and she couldn't help but retreat, but immediately came back and said respectfully: "The concubine lives with the mother, and does not dare to do anything that damages the face of the mother, the concubine has always treated the concubine very well, how can the concubine avoid you and the concubine Niangniang, but the concubine is warm, and the concubine has to thank you." ”
"You should have befriended you, your family used to be the in-laws of Mingzhu Mansion, and you were also related to Hui Concubine, and besides, you still went from Hui Concubine to the dragon couch of the Long Live Lord, Hui Concubine has the grace of knowing you, you are good, how can I be disgusted?" Concubine Wen smiled and stretched out her hand to signal her to get up, but before the Zen people could stand up straight, Concubine Wen said, "You and Lord Nalan also have an old relationship, although you are just a permanent person, but the connections in the court really dare not be underestimated, and there are really few people in the palace who can compare to you." ”
Jue Chan seemed to be weak under his knees, and suddenly fell to the ground again, the two of them were alone here, and there was not a single palace maid around, and her gaffe didn't matter who saw it, what she cared about more was what Concubine Wen said.
Concubine Wen took a piece of candied fruit to eat, looked at Juechan with surprise, and repeated it to let her get up, only waiting for her to sit firmly again, before continuing: "I have been told since I was a child that I want to enter the palace as a concubine, and I have never seen half of the extra men in the family except for relatives and slaves, and now I am dedicated to the Long Live Lord, I think it's good." But at first glance, I knew your story, but I didn't have half of the antipathy for disobedience, but more sympathy for your experience, what a beautiful relationship, just like this, Concubine Hui is really, she is an aunt, so she doesn't feel sorry for her nephew? If I were her, I would definitely try my best to send you out of the palace, and I hope that a lover will eventually become a family. ”
A beautiful remark, but I heard that Chan's heart was panicked, Rao is charcoal fire was burning, it was warm like spring, she still couldn't stop trembling, and finally couldn't help but say: "Niangniang's words, if others hear it, it will cause a big disaster, and the concubine begged Niangniang not to mention it again." ”
"What I heard is true, do you admit it?" Concubine Wen looked at Juechan and asked abruptly, "You have been avoiding the Holy Grace, not fighting, not grabbing, and even not hesitating to make yourself into the withered appearance you are now, is it because you still have Lord Nalan in your heart, right?" For you, staying by the emperor's side is torture and pain, isn't it? ”
Jue Chan shook his head, but nodded hastily, in this palace, Concubine Wen was the third person to face these things with her, Concubine Hui was coercive and tempting, Concubine De was disgusted and disgusted, only Concubine Wen showed great interest and regret, and even affirmed her old feelings, which made her lonely and proud heart soft, and even involuntarily wanted to hear Concubine Wen continue.
Concubine Wen smiled kindly: "In the summer, before I left the palace, I told you about Lord Nalan taking a concubine in the outer house, and you fell ill, I thought about it for a summer, until I heard your story, I regretted saying those words to you inadvertently, I hope you don't blame me." ”
Jue Chan hurriedly shook his head: "How dare the concubine blame you, don't misunderstand." ”
"That's good, I'm relieved." Concubine Wen smiled softly, and said to Jue Chan Clan affectionately, "But I've heard something about it recently, do you want to hear it?" ”
Juechan didn't say it, but she wanted to hear it in her heart, she wanted to know everything about Rong Ruo, Concubine Hui brought the book "Zhongxiang Ci", she knew that Rong Ruo was by no means a joke on the spot for that woman, she must be sympathetic, and she must have met a bosom friend in a foreign country, so that he would ignore his wife and concubine at home, ignore his father's anger, and be so emotional.
"I won't tell others, I know that it is the crime of killing the head of the concubine if she has different intentions, and I can't get rid of it if I hurt you, but I sympathize with your experience." Concubine Wen was full of concern, and said slowly, "Lord Nalan's affairs have been taken care of, I heard that the emperor came forward to ask Mingzhu not to object to his son's concubine, and even allowed Lord Nalan to raise this woman in the outer house, and now the family is safe, since it is the emperor's intention, no one will embarrass that woman, and Lord Nalan has also followed the emperor again, and the emperor has always valued him." ”
Jue Chan looked at Concubine Wen in a daze, although Concubine Wen's words were completely opposite to Concubine Hui, but she believed what the person in front of her said for no reason, sure enough, Concubine Hui was holding her sore spot and threatening, in fact, she couldn't hurt that Shen Wan at all, but she was just scaring herself?
"What's wrong with you?" Concubine Wen saw that Juechan's face was pale, and asked with a smile, "Isn't it uncomfortable in your heart, the man you love likes other women, it's very uncomfortable, isn't it?" I can relate to it too well. ”
"Mother?"
"I wish the emperor could treat me like a concubine, but I know that this is too extravagant." The expression on Concubine Wen's face gradually darkened, but it seemed to be gloomy to the limit, and she suddenly saw a resolute look, her eyelashes flickered, and there was a yearning for the future in her eyes, "I believe that after seeing people's hearts for a long time, the emperor will definitely look at me differently, but before that, you can't help Hui Concubine and them to seduce the emperor, if Hui Concubine Yi Concubine gets the emperor's love, I will be taken away again." I'm willing to help you, anything, then you can only help me alone, okay? ”
There seemed to be a thunderclap in Juechan's ears, where would there be a pure and kind woman in this palace, and it would be difficult for a concubine to disdain like that, so could she really respect her feelings? She had just seen Concubine Hui's face clearly, and she was determined not to be at her mercy anymore, but Concubine Wen immediately dug a trap, and jumped into it with a hot head.
At this time, the little eunuch in front of the door hurriedly came in and announced: "The Empress Dowager has sent a decree to invite all palace ladies to Cining Palace. ”
Concubine Wen was like no one else, and asked normally: "Is Juezen always there?" ”
The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Yes, I will always be there." ”
