Concubine Ling, who was still complacent, was even weaker in her knees, and she knelt on the ground with a "plop", trembling.

In the past, the Empress Dowager did not ask about the trivial matters of the harem, and these concubines made a fuss, but the majesty of the Empress Dowager was still like a top of Mount Tai in their hearts, even more than the Empress Dowager's. Today, the Empress Dowager is so kind and gentle to Concubine Ling, everyone initially thought that she was showing affection to the Queen Mother, and did not pursue her rudeness to the Queen Mother, who would have thought that she quietly dug a pit, luring Concubine Ling to jump step by step, and then suddenly attacked, which caught her off guard.

In the past, everyone was often teased by Concubine Ling, but today when she saw her embarrassed, she was somewhat gloating, and Concubine He even covered her mouth and snickered, hating to fall into the well and step on it again.

"The Empress Dowager Mingjian, the concubine was indeed dizzy yesterday, and suddenly she was unconscious. The imperial doctor's medical skills were shallow, and he couldn't find the location of the lesion after diagnosing the pulse for a long time, so he delayed for a while in the concubine's palace. The concubine didn't know that the queen was sick, and it wasn't until Mama Qin broke into the concubine's bedroom that the concubine didn't know about it, and quickly ordered the imperial doctor to follow. The emperor can testify to this matter, and there is absolutely no falsehood. ”

Concubine Ling was convincing and begged the Empress Dowager.

"Concubine Ling Guifei has a ruddy complexion and is full of vitality, no wonder the imperial doctor couldn't find the location of the lesion for a long time, and prescribed several prescriptions in a row that didn't go along with Concubine Ling's wishes, so he simply abandoned the medicine. Now that the emperor has been brought up again, the mourning family really doesn't dare to condemn half a sentence. Queen, how do you say it is good? ”

Yuehua was slightly embarrassed, the Empress Dowager was making decisions for herself, if she easily spared Concubine Ling, she didn't know what to do, and she would not have half of her prestige in the harem in the future. But if he really came up with any idea, the small punishment and the big admonition were spread to the ears of the emperor, and he would inevitably be preached with his viciousness, which made the emperor hate himself even more.

Although the queen mother looked at herself unpleasantly and connived at the concubine Ling to sneer at herself, she still had to give her general face, and she couldn't enter the palace on the first day, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not in harmony, and the two sides were evil, right?

She leaned over and said to the Empress Dowager: "The liver fire is too strong, this disease will cause qi and blood blockage, internal fire gathering, yin and yang imbalance, since Concubine Ling has fainted, it must not be underestimated." From today onwards, you should rest and recuperate with peace of mind, and cultivate your body. The concubine heard that the decoction and acupuncture were the most important thing to soothe the liver and regulate qi, I wonder if the imperial doctor in the palace is good at acupuncture? ”

Acupuncture?

Concubine He couldn't help but laugh "poof", only then did she realize her gaffe, and hurriedly collected her look: "Some of them, the queen is virtuous, and it is really our blessing to love Sister Guifei so much." ”

The Empress Dowager remained silent, and said to Concubine Ling who was kneeling on the ground: "The queen is generous, she is not to blame for the past, Concubine Ling, are you not grateful?" ”

Concubine Ling naturally knew that the pain of acupuncture was different from being tortured? She already had a bitter face and was full of reluctance, but Yuehua's answer was impeccable, she felt like she had been slapped hard by Yuehua, and she had to accompany the smiling face and say "thank you" to others.

Shame on never before!

Concubine Ling reluctantly kowtowed in thanks. There was also a faint smile on the corner of the Empress Dowager's lips: "Since Concubine Ling is unwell, the Empress Dowager should also be sympathetic, and temporarily confiscate her green-headed brand, don't arrange for her to sleep, let her recuperate, so as not to give the emperor her illness." ”

Concubine Crane and Concubine Ya obviously brightened up, radiating a different look.

The Queen Mother smiled wryly, not daring to disobey: "This little problem, I think it's okay, just rest for four or five days, right?" ”

"It's fine." The Empress Dowager didn't look at Concubine Ling on the ground, and turned to ask Yuehua: "What hinders is the queen's face, if it weren't for the mourning family who urged the emperor to warm up the pavilion to rest earlier, and found out Yuehua's strange appearance, I'm afraid that this little face of sinking fish and geese would not be able to be saved."

Queen Mother, this matter should not be underestimated, this is obviously trying to be unfavorable to the emperor. As soon as the mourning family heard about this this morning, they were so frightened that they felt uncomfortable, and quickly got up and put three incense sticks on the Bodhisattva. Do you think, if it weren't for Yuehua to prevent this disaster for the emperor, the emperor didn't notice it, and rested in that bed tent for the night, what would be the consequences? ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was shocked into a cold sweat, and what the Queen Mother said was reasonable, which made her a little afraid. She gloated to herself, she didn't even think of this.

"What the queen mother said is very true, after the concubine goes back, she will strictly inspect the weaving institute and the needlework bureau, and peel off the cocoon, and it is bound to severely punish the ill-intentioned people behind the scenes."

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, the Empress Dowager is kind and generous, and the people below her are jumping up and down, not taking you in their eyes at all, they should give them a little color." It's just a matter of being jealous and making some small wrists, and the mourning family turns a blind eye and just treats it as if it can't be seen. But if you move your cruel mind, it involves the emperor, and the mourning family will destroy her nine clans! ”

The words were sonorous and powerful, and they meant something, the queen mother only responded, only to feel that a face was burning, bowed her head to listen to the reprimand, withdrew with the concubines, and hurried in the direction of Ruian Palace without saying a word, with wind under her feet.

With all kinds of thoughts, everyone told Yuehua to retreat and returned to the palace. Concubine Ling held back the fire in her heart, took three steps and two steps to catch up with the Queen Mother, and whispered behind her: "Aunt Huang, that Chu Yuehua is ......."

"Shut up!"

The Queen Mother turned around abruptly and scolded angrily: "The queen's name is also what you can call?" ”

It was the first time that Concubine Ling was reprimanded by the Queen Mother like this, and she curled her mouth a little aggrievedly: "The queen ...... her"

The Queen Mother had already turned around, didn't look at her, and said angrily: "Follow me!" ”

The Queen Mother spoke harshly, and Concubine Ling was a little apprehensive in her heart, so she followed behind her step by step and went straight to Ruian Palace.

The Queen Mother ordered someone to close the door of the house, retreated left and right, and then turned around and coldly reprimanded Concubine Ling: "Kneel." ”

Concubine Ling was inexplicable.

"The mourner made you kneel!" The Queen Mother unconsciously aggravated her tone, which was beyond doubt.

"I, what did I do wrong?" As soon as her knees weakened and she knelt on the ground, she felt full of grievances, how could people all over the world seem to be targeting herself? His eyes were red, and tears were crackling.

"What did you do wrong?" The Queen Mother almost gritted her teeth with hatred: "Haven't you done enough?" Could it be true that you will poke the sky into a hole before you are willing? ”

Concubine Ling lowered her head and pulled the handkerchief in her hand fiercely: "Ling'er doesn't dare." ”

The Queen Mother raised her slap high, and she couldn't bear it, so she put it down indignantly: "How many times have the mourning family told you, that Chu Yuehua is a member of the Chang family, no matter what he says, he won't like that girl, but he will be used for a few years as a decoration, and when the Queen Mother dies, there is no place for her Chu Yuehua in this cold palace!"

Although you put your heart in your stomach, don't fight with her for a long time, the queen's position will be yours sooner or later. But if you look at you and talk about the rest, let's just say that you are dressed today, no wonder the Queen Mother looks at you unpleasantly, and the mourning family hates to take it off for you! ”

The Queen Mother fell several times again and again, obviously she was really angry, Concubine Ling was a little scared, and hurriedly spoke out to convince her: "Aunt Huang is not angry, it was Ling'er who was wrong, she changed it down and lost it after a while, and she never wore it again." ”

The Queen Mother stretched out her finger and poked her forehead fiercely: "What's the use of saying that you are always quick with your tongue?" I didn't say that I offended Concubine He before, but today I completely offended that Chu Yuehua. It's good that several of her uncles are powerful in the court, and the mourning family and the emperor have to back down a few points, what can you do? also caused such a trouble to the mourning family. Today, if the Empress Dowager takes the opportunity to give the power in charge of the six palaces to the mourning family and hand it over to her Chu Yuehua, it is also reasonable, and the mourning family can't say half a word. You must know that if the mourning family loses this power, you are nothing! ”

Concubine Ling became more and more aggrieved, wiped a handful of tears, took a step forward on her knees, grabbed the hem of the queen mother's skirt, and begged mournfully: "Aunt Huang, Ling'er did faint yesterday, not that Ling'er deliberately acted against that Chu Yuehua." ”

"Now that there are only you and me in the palace, is it necessary for you to deceive the mourning family?"

Concubine Ling shook her head chaotically, and sobbed: "Ling Er's words are true, and she will never dare to deceive the imperial aunt." Last night, I was really sad, helpless, I was stunned for a long time, I heard that the emperor went to Qingqiu Palace, and he was going to wash and rest, which Cheng wanted to be dizzy and fell to the ground unconscious. A few girls were at a loss, and they didn't dare to alarm the imperial aunt, so they took the initiative to go to Qingqiu Palace and invite the emperor over. ”
