"Secret?" Lan Qi leaned over curiously and asked with a smile, "What other secrets does Mama have?" ”

I didn't want Su Mala to tell her a secret. It turned out that Xuan Ye had come to visit his grandmother alone before leaving Beijing, recalling the hard work of fighting the three feudatories in the past, and once being forced to be helpless by Wu Sangui, the emperor proudly told his grandmother that now the Qing Dynasty has more powerful guns and artillery.

This time against Galdan, the imperial court will use the latest cast artillery, but the time is not suitable for transportation, and the strength must be hidden from the rebels, so Xuan Ye's plan is to lead Galdan closer and annihilate it in one fell swoop, so naturally there will be some defeat ahead, which is almost the current situation. Because it is a military secret, the emperor can't easily tell others, because he is worried that his grandmother will be frightened and hurt when she is old, so he will reveal it slightly.

Mama said solemnly: "It is an eternal truth that the arrogant army will be defeated, Galdan has swept all the way for several years and is invincible, if he fights with the Qing army, such a person will be strong when he is strong, but it will stimulate his stronger fighting spirit, it is better to satisfy his ambition and lead him to a closer place." Niangniang, you think, Galdan is now the grassland hero, he is familiar with everything there, but the further south he goes, the more unfamiliar he becomes, no matter the terrain or climate, it is not good for him, the emperor is waiting for him, give him a head-on blow. Don't worry too much, the slave believes that in a few days, there will be good news. ”

Lan Qi was stunned when she heard it, Xuan Ye set out to tell her not to panic no matter what news came from ahead, listening to Mama's words at this moment, she finally understood. But......

"Mama, what about the emperor's illness?" Lan Qi was still worried, and there was an unquenchable anxiety on her brows, "The emperor's illness may not be fake, why did he even call the crown prince?" Moreover, the boss is sick, which is a matter of shaking the morale of the army, even if it is to confuse Galdan, it cannot easily shake the morale of the army. ”

Mama bowed her head and said: "Niangniang's words slave and maid understand, but now you can only think about the good, don't show a little timidity, whether it is facing Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong, or facing the nobles of the clan, now not only the court is looking at the harem, but I am afraid that even the emperor is watching." Niangniang knows that there are some restless people in the clan who have been instigating the relationship between Prince Yu and Prince Gong and the emperor, and this time the opportunity is rare, and the emperor will probably clean up the door. In short, since Niangniang can't do anything, then wait for the emperor to come back, don't let people take the opportunity to bully you, don't wait for the emperor to come back well, but you are hurt. ”

"With Mama's words, I feel at ease." Even if Lan Qi was still uneasy in her heart, she didn't want her mother to worry about her, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that you never let me come, and now it's rare to see you once." ”

After the serious incident, the two said some considerate words, because it was too late for Lan Qi to stay for a long time, and then called the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brother to make love with the grandmother for a while, and then led them back.

At this moment, it is dark to walk with lanterns, but it is not yet late at night, the road is not too deserted, and because of the strengthened guards, lest the guards collide with Concubine De Niangniang, there is a eunuch in front of him to walk a few steps to explore the road, Lan Qi led a pair of sons to sit in a sedan chair, and the two little guys are already a little sleepy.

Walking leisurely on the road, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, there was a hurried footstep outside, Lan Qi's heart tightened, and after a while, Huanchun came to the window and said: "The explorer came back and said that something seemed to have happened to the courtyard of the noble man in front of him, and Concubine Tong Niangniang was also there, surrounded by many guards." ”

"What's going on?" Lan Qi was annoyed, thinking that the Ping nobles were bullying Concubine Tong again, but this time she was able to make trouble in the courtyard of the Ping nobles, why did Concubine Tong listen to her and come here? Full of doubts, only let Huanchun and the nurse send the children back first, and brought Luzhu Yukui and a few little eunuchs to the Ping nobles, only to get closer to hear the palace maid's sharp scream, faintly shouting: "The nobleman save me, the slave maid did not do anything unacceptable, the slave maid is wronged...... and then there was no sound, as if someone was asked to block their mouths.

"Concubine De is here." Someone saw a group of people here, and saw clearly who was busy shouting, the door was quiet in and out of the door, everyone made way for Lan Qi, she held the hand of the green bead across the threshold, and the bottom of the flower pot stood firmly on the blue brick floor.

I saw a palace maid being pressed to the ground, a few strong eunuchs who seemed to be from the Shen Punishment Division, a person who looked like a guard leader was standing on the side, full of nervousness and anger, Ping Guiren relied on the palace maid to stand under the eaves, and Concubine Tong was walking towards Lan Qi at the moment, and said in front of Fu Yifu, "Niangniang is auspicious." ”

Lan Qi pressed her heart and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Without waiting for Concubine Tong to answer, the noble man immediately shouted: "Concubine De Niangniang came just in time, the concubine is about to find someone to call the shots, when will it be Concubine Tong's turn to take care of the affairs in the palace?" What's more, the palace maids and concubines of the concubines are all strictly controlled, how can there be an ugly affair with the guards? This matter, since Concubine Tong has made trouble in front of the concubine's eyes, the concubine must figure it out. ”

Looking at the noble man with his teeth and claws, Lan Qi inexplicably felt that this was the right way, this was the posture that Xiao Hesheri should have, she had been hiding her pregnancy in a silent voice, it was too strange, but it was so forced at this time, and her nature was forced out again.

Concubine Tong stood aside, her face was not as delicate and timid as before, and she said with a fixed expression: "The concubine did not wronged the palace maid of the Ping nobles, her palace maid was found in the uninhabited palace and the guards, and half of the clothes on her body were taken off when she was arrested, and now the concubine let her dress before sending her here, I wanted to ask the Ping nobles what was going on, but they screamed and disturbed the mother, and let the people of the Shen Criminal Division take the palace maid away for a while." ”

It was the ordinary nobles who were weird before, but now Concubine Tong has changed, the changes of Concubine Wen in the past made Lan Qi spend a lot of effort, and in the end, Concubine Wen has become what she is now, and these two people are both the queen's sisters, what are they going to do, do they have to go the same way?

"Concubine De, you can't be biased......"

"Alright." Lan Qi drank the nobles, no matter what, she also wanted to help Concubine Tong, and said coldly, "Even the clothes have been taken off, what else is there to quibble, don't you know what the situation in the court is at the moment?" There is such a shameless thing, noble person, if the Queen Mother holds you accountable for not governing strictly, you will also be punished, I will take care of this matter for you in front of the Queen Mother, now take care of your womb, manage your people, and don't cause trouble again. ”

Ping Gui was so angry that his face turned pale, and he wanted to talk back to Concubine De again, but he was stopped by the palace maid beside him, after all, there was a huge disparity in status, what did Concubine De really want to do to her, and no one in the palace could help her say a word right now.

"Disperse, send this palace maid to the Shen Criminal Division." Lan Qi ordered everyone, and even warned, "Who are in front of you tonight, I will let people remember them one by one, if there are rumors in the palace tomorrow, there is a place in the Criminal Division to greet you." ”

Everyone was shocked by Concubine De, there was silence, Lan Qi called Concubine Tong to leave with her, Concubine Tong hurriedly followed, not wanting to go all the way to the West Sixth Palace, but after passing the door of Chuxiu Palace, she did not stop, she was taken straight to the Xianfu Palace on the side.

Dong Yun saw Concubine De Niangniang come to Xianfu Palace in the middle of the night, thinking that there was something important, and when he heard Niangniang ask if the concubine Niangniang had slept, Dong Yun said helplessly: "My temper is not very good these days, and I fell if I didn't eat well at dinner, and I was coaxing Niangniang to eat something at this time." ”

Lan Qi glanced back at Concubine Tong and said, "Let's go see the concubine." ”

Concubine Tong took a step back in a panic and shook her head again and again: "The concubine is afraid, I have seen it when I come back and go up, and I ...... it."

Lan Qi stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Tong's hand in a few steps, pulling her to go inside, Concubine Tong struggled and refused, but at this moment it was the concubine who ran out by herself, looking at Lan Qi and the others inexplicably, stunned as if she didn't recognize it, and immediately ran over with some fear to pull Dong Yun and hide behind her.

"Concubine De, I want to go back." Concubine Tong finally showed her usual timidity and cowardice, struggling to get Lan Qi to let go.

"Dongyun, take Niangniang back, I'll come to visit Niangniang in a few days." Lan Qi calmed down and told Dong Yun to go back, Dong Yun didn't know what was wrong with them, and he didn't want to worry about it, so he coaxed the concubine back to the house.

Lan Qi let go of her hand at this time, because Concubine Wen was gone, Concubine Tong didn't run away, she stood still and sobbed and cried, "Niangniang, what do you want the concubine to do?" ”

"I want you to see what she looks like now." Lan Qi sighed, took Concubine Tong's hand again and took her back to Chuxiu Palace, waited for her to wash and wipe away the tears on her face, and then sat down under the lamplight and said, "Before Empress Xiaozhao died, she told me to take care of my sister for her, but in the past ten years, Concubine Wen has done too many irreparable things, and in the end, it has become like this, I feel sorry for Empress Xiaozhao in my heart, but then again, is it my fault?" What about you, sister? ”

Concubine Tong hung her head and didn't say anything, just shook her head.

Lan Qi said: "Before the queen died, she didn't tell me to protect you or take care of you, but I can't really ignore you, but how long can I manage it?" Your background is destined to sit in a high position above us in the future, and at that time, how can I care about you anymore, but tonight you ran to find trouble with the Ping nobles, it is also about to start to change, do you also want to become the second Wen Guifei? ”

Concubine Tong sobbed, she was not a stupid person, she understood the meaning of Lan Qi's words, and said softly: "Niangniang thinks that I deliberately framed the Ping nobles?" ”

Lan Qi asked solemnly: "Did the palace maid have a good relationship with the guards, and really took off her clothes?" ”

Concubine Tong shook her head: "No, it was the concubine who wronged the palace maid." ”

As soon as Lan Qi's heart sank, she knew that the master of Ping Guiren was so powerful, how could the palace maids under her hands have the courage to do such a thing, but she didn't understand why Concubine Tong did this, the only thing she could think of was: "Do you want to get rid of her for her sake?" ”

Concubine Tong shook her head, and the tears she had put away rolled down in large pieces, crying: "Ama asked me to do it, Ama asked me to do this a long time ago, but I never dare, I can't do it......"

Lan Qi was surprised: "Lord Tong? ”

Concubine Tong cried so sadly that she said, "But the eldest uncle is dead, and the mother is ...... My great uncle was killed in battle. ”
