301 Their Retribution (and Updates.)
The emperor suddenly wanted to go to Yingtai, and only took Concubine De alone, if it weren't for Concubine De who had no son, no one could easily agree to this matter, and the next few were just a few people, and the imperial concubine and Concubine Yi were the most embarrassed. If it is said that the imperial concubine is weak and sick and should not move around, Concubine Yi has already been out of confinement and refreshed, at most the eleventh elder brother is still a milk doll and she can't leave, but if the emperor has the heart to take her, what is wrong with the child staying in the palace, in the final analysis, the emperor just wants to take Concubine De away, and it has nothing to do with others.
But the people in the palace thought that the emperor and Concubine De Niangniang went to Yingtai to have a good time, but they didn't know that the two fell out when they got there, and then they had a cold war for two days, and they didn't know where the master offended the emperor, and she didn't speak during the day, so scared that they didn't dare to ask more, but it was a pity that it was difficult to come out once, but it became like this.
On this day, Xuan Ye and the ministers were discussing in the Hanyuan Palace, and after they dispersed, they were changing their clothes, and Gonggong Li came in and smiled awkwardly: "Long live Lord, the Empress Dowager has a message." ”
"Say what?" Although Xuan Ye asked, he actually understood in his heart, and sure enough, Gonggong Li relayed the meaning of the emperor's grandmother, asking the emperor what he did to have a stiff relationship with Concubine De, if he didn't want to make her happy, send people back, don't let her be wronged here.
Xuan Ye snorted angrily: "She just relied on the imperial grandmother to spoil her." ”
This is angry talk, can't be taken seriously, the unpleasant thing between the two is actually very serious, it is by no means a trivial matter of boudoir frolic, or blame the noble person who suddenly reminded Concubine De to be careful in the future, so that she was busy all June and the things that faded down were in her heart, Xuan Ye asked the emperor why the night before she went to Shengjing, and when she arrived at Yingtai that day, Xuan Ye asked her why she was more depressed than when she was in the palace, Lan Qi was impulsive and asked again.
She asked Xuan Ye who killed Yinzuo, asked Xuan Ye why he didn't investigate, why he announced that he died of a sudden illness, and whether her son was going to die so unclear, but in fact, she knew in her heart that these things couldn't be asked, so when she asked it, it was even more painful.
Xuan Ye was not angry that Lan Qi had such doubts, but he repeatedly explained that he couldn't say it at the moment, and he didn't tell her because he didn't want her to live in uneasiness, sometimes there were some things that he didn't know, and it was better to be confused than to understand everything.
One is painful, the other is helpless, this time it is stiff, Lan Qi asked to return to the palace that night, of course Xuan Ye did not agree, and then it was the Cold War so far, it was easy for the two of them to come out alone to relax, but they didn't even see each other.
"Long live the lord, the person who came brought the wine brewed by Su Mala's grandmother, and the grandmother said that it is the best to drink it in the well water, and the slave has already sent someone to prepare, you see tonight, it is better to invite the mother to come over for dinner." Gonggong Li said with a smile, everything has been arranged for the emperor.
Xuan Ye wished that the two of them would get better quickly, he regretted that he couldn't be more patient, the most pitiful person now is Lan Qi, she can cheer up and ease her spirits, it is not easy, why is her mind so narrow, so he responded: "Go and please." ”
When the news came, Lan Qi didn't want to go, Huanchun and the others ignored her at all, and hurriedly asked people to return to their lives and say that Niang Niang was ready to go to Hanyuan Palace, Lan Qi looked unhappy, and when she was served to wear clothes, she also lost her temper and said: "Who is the master, you bully me like this?" ”
But even if she was scolded, Huanchun was not afraid, she was neatly dressed, and seeing the dark clouds in the sky rolling and about to rain, she hurriedly sent it to Hanyuan Palace.
Yingtai's imperial meal is not as grand as in the palace, and Xuan Ye has always hated extravagance, tonight Gonggong Li arranged a small dining table, set up seven or eight dishes that Concubine De likes Niangniang, and there is wine brewed by Su Mala's mother, Lan Qi only arrived not long ago, and a thunderstorm exploded outside her and made her tremble, Xuan Ye happened to come out of it and saw it, and asked her: "Scared?" ”
But before Lan Qi could answer, the wind was blowing outside and the raindrops were crackling and falling, and the bamboo curtain in front of the door was also blown on the door frame and kept beating, Xuan Ye saw Lan Qi's indifferent face, and suddenly became a little angry, and said to the people outside: "What's the matter, how can you eat if it's so noisy?" ”
Lan Qi was taken aback by him again, but seeing that the emperor was obviously angry with himself, but he was angry with others, she couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart, people felt so sorry for her, she didn't appreciate it again and again, and she couldn't say anything.
After thinking about it, she walked to the door, Xuan Ye frowned and thought she was leaving, but she just called someone to come, put away the bamboo curtain, and said that it was cool for the cold wind to blow in, as for the loud rain outside, there were already eunuchs and palace maids who hurriedly laid blankets around the road outside Hanyuan Palace, Lan Qi turned around and saw that Xuan Ye was already sitting at the table, went to the side to wash his hands and came over to pour wine, and said softly: "The emperor is noisy, the palace maids and eunuchs are all spreading blankets on the road outside in the rain, don't lose your temper when you go back." ”
Xuan Ye didn't speak, and drank all the wine she poured, and the cool and sweet wine entered her throat, just like drinking juice, and the people around her had already softened and said: "Don't be angry anymore, the concubine will never ask you about those things again, and you have never hidden what you can say from the concubine, it is not good for the concubine." ”
"You have a bad voice, how aggrieved are you?" Xuan Ye pulled her to sit down, "I won't tell you, I just don't want you to be sad, I met someone in the future, and I was worried about this matter, it wouldn't be good for you, what's the point of living like that?" I want you to believe that I will not let our sons die in vain, they will have retribution, God is watching, and I am staring even more. ”
"Yes." Lan Qi nodded.
"You're still not reconciled." Xuan Ye could see that she was duplicitous, but she just wanted to make herself happy.
Lan Qi didn't hide it, and said frankly: "I don't know when I can put it down, the concubine herself is also very painful, and she wants to cheer up every day, but every day when she calms down, she thinks of Yinzuo." When I came to Yingtai, I thought that he was so young when he came four years ago, and he still remembered everything so clearly, but the child was gone......"
"It's going to be fine." Xuan Ye gently stroked her back and comforted her who was already choked, "I will never let you experience such pain again, our child, no one can hurt you." ”
Lan Qi nodded, trying to show a relieved smile in her tears, Xuan Ye wiped the sparkle from the corners of her eyes, held her soft cheeks, and said longingly: "I'm not in a hurry, but I want to see your comfortable smile every day, Lan Qi, don't let me wait too long." ”
Lan Qi poured him wine, and also poured wine for herself, and raised her glass with both hands in response: "The concubine has written it down." ”
Gently clinking glasses, the two drank it all, the wine sent by Su Mala Mama was really sweet, drinking it in the hot weather, it made people feel comfortable, and because of the sweet taste, it always made people forget that this was drinking, and they talked about their hearts, in a comfortable and comfortable atmosphere, Xuan Ye, who was not very greedy for a cup, actually drank a lot, Lanqi's amount of wine was not good, and he had never touched the wine recently, and this wine was full of stamina, and he was drunk unconsciously.
The night of lightning and thunder, the torrential rain did not stop for a long time, and the bedroom of Hanyuan Hall was also endless* churning, the sudden tragedy made them unintentional about the bed, and the emperor did not enter the harem for a long time in the palace, but tonight Lan Qi was drunk and thought of the child, crying and laughing was very pitiful, and the same drunk Xuan Ye comforted her while being moved, no one knew who slipped into the charm first, and the night was inseparable, and when they woke up the next day, both of them were blank in their minds.
But the harmony of the body, the catharsis between *, did relieve some of the depression in the heart, the next day Huanchun praised the master's complexion better, Lan Qi smiled at her: "Not serious." ”
Because the emperor still has to do court affairs all day long when he comes to Yingtai, Lan Qi should not stay in Hanyuan Hall for a long time, go back to his residence to rest for a long time, and when he sees the cool weather, he wants to go out for a walk, and he doesn't want to be too ostentatious, so he only takes Huanchun alone.
On the last time I came back to Yingtai, it was the emperor who pacified the three feudatories when he rewarded the three armies in this draft, for four years, walking through various palaces and pavilions, the departure of his son inevitably made Lan Qi feel sad that things were wrong, and at that time she was still a concubine, and now she is already in the concubine position, at that time, the queen mother, the queen mother and the imperial concubine are also there, and now she is the only one, if she is really favored by the emperor and brought out to play alone, it would be good, but of course it is Xuan Ye's favor, more to appease her pain of losing her child.
"I don't remember much about last night, but I still remember what the emperor said before drinking." Lan Qi and Huanchun walked slowly, talking about Xuan Ye's words last night, she said, "The emperor said that those people will have retribution, mentioning the word retribution, some strange looks flashed in his eyes, as if he was sure that those retributions would definitely happen, he was so confident, could it be that something had happened?" ”
Huan Chun said timidly: "You know, everything is spread in the palace for this matter, and there are many people who talk about who is the murderer, and there are all who say anything, and some of them say that it is ......" She stopped, looked around a few times, and said in a lower voice, "Some people say that Lord Ming wants to harm the prince, but he harms our sixth elder brother, this time the prince of Nalan did not escape the catastrophe, it is retribution." Luzhu They also know these rumors, but for fear that you will be sad and sad, they are absolutely not allowed to talk about it in Yonghe Palace. ”
Lan Qi was stunned when she heard this, and muttered: "There is such a legend? ”
Huanchun nodded and said: "If the slaves and maids don't say it, you naturally can't hear it, but don't take it too seriously, you can hand it over to the emperor about this matter, and let's be more careful in Yonghe Palace in the future." Now in the Chengqian Palace, all the food used by the fourth elder brother is checked one by one, and they are almost catching up with the specifications of Yuqing Palace. ”
Lan Qi was in a panic, blocked Huanchun's mouth and said, "Don't involve Yuqing Palace, that's incomparable, you must be careful when you talk in the future." ”
Huanchun said again: "Those days when you were not in good spirits, the slaves and maids all went to the palace to inquire, it is said that the prince almost ate a snack that day, if it wasn't for the sixth elder brother to fall, the prince would have sent it to his mouth, hanging very much." ”
Lan Qi didn't know these things, she was demented after her son died, where was she in the mood to check something, fortunately, Huanchun paid attention to her, but she didn't ask on weekdays, and they didn't dare to mention it.
The master and servant unconsciously walked to a strange place while talking, Huan Chun was saying that it was better to turn back, and suddenly heard a scolding sound from a small courtyard not far away, and something was overturned on the ground, and there was a loud sound, and I heard the woman's scream: "Go, bring me a whip." ”
"Master." Huanchun wanted her master to evacuate the depression in her heart, and she usually didn't want this kind of trouble to provoke her, but now she was in a hurry to find some messy things to distract her, even if she scolded people to vent, so she encouraged Lan Qi to come and see.
Lan Qi half-pushed and half-came on the spot, stood in front of the courtyard gate and saw a lot of blankets that were spread outside the Hanyuan Hall last night to catch the rain, the whole courtyard was wet, and a palace maid fell to the ground and was embarrassed, Lan Qi felt familiar, and softly recited "Xing'er?" ”
