Huanchun hurriedly put away the things, instructed Luzhu and a few people not to let people come in and disturb the master's rest, closed the door and covered the window, and then asked the master what happened, although Lan Qi had no one to discuss at the moment, but she was afraid that after telling Huanchun, she would transfer to Cining Palace to know, and she didn't believe Huanchun, but knew that she felt most sorry for herself, and in order to protect herself from being implicated, she would definitely ask Mama Su Mala for help, but after all, this matter had not happened yet, Lan Qi always hoped that Xiao Niu Hulu would change her mind.

"Did Concubine Wen say anything that made you uncomfortable?" Huanchun didn't give up, full of hope that the master wouldn't hold back the unhappiness in his heart, but Lan Qi pulled her and begged, "I can understand it if I think about it myself, I really don't understand, I will go to Cining Palace to reply, I can't let the boss worry about everything." ”

Huan Chun only said: "You are about to give birth, and the slave maid thinks that the big thing is not as good as this one, you have to think more about yourself, other people's affairs, whether they are good or bad and what do you want to do." ”

Lan Qi nodded and reassured Huanchun, "I will figure it out, you promised me that before I let you go to Mama, you must not go, more things are better than less things, I think there is always room for maneuver." ”

Speaking kung fu, there was a guqin sound in the Chengqian Palace in front of him, Lan Qi listened with his neck, and Huanchun sighed: "I heard that the concubine was drunk last night, and you couldn't sleep well all night, and the Qinglian in front of them didn't stop, and they played the piano again now, but the emperor was not in the harem." ”

"From the time the concubine lived in Chengqian Palace, I began to listen to her play the piano, and I played better and better than before, I kept saying that I wanted to learn it, but I never picked it up." Lan Qi smiled, "But I can't learn it either, so if she hears it, she must say that I am a pet and fight with her." ”

As he spoke, the fetus in her womb moved, Lan Qi couldn't help but sigh, and smiled at her stomach: "E-niang is annoyed, how can you give birth in peace these days?" ”

The little guy really didn't move much, but Huanchun held his stomach and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't listen to the master, you move every day, let the slave know that you are good, and the slave and maid can rest assured." ”

"You know it's little brother? I only like to eat spicy food these days, my sister said that I am a sour and spicy girl, I look forward to giving birth to a little princess, which can save me a lot of trouble. Lan Qi gently touched her stomach and sighed, "I will be carried to Cining Palace after birth, I have to be confined to see him again, I used to look forward to being born every day, but now the day is just around the corner, I can't bear it." ”

"I can go to Cining Palace every day after the confinement to see it, who in the palace has such a blessing as you, how many years have Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui survived?" Huanchun comforted her, "The master is content with everything, but he doesn't have this intention in this matter." ”

Lan Qi looked proud of the people who came over, and said: "It's different to be an E-Niang, in the future, when you leave the palace and get married, you will understand when you are also a E-Niang." Saying that, she broke her fingers and calculated, and asked Huanchun when it was the day to leave the palace, but Huanchun said that she was not in a hurry, she was in the palace, and asked Lan Qi not to worry about it.

If it was idle for two days, on this day the emperor issued an edict to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Tong, set up a banquet and sing in the Chengqian Palace, and only invited the concubines and ladies of the palace family, and the empress dowager and the empress dowager also gave rewards, but said that they would not participate in the banquet, so that the young people could let go of themselves and have fun.

Of course, the concubine and the nobles want to appreciate the light, but Lan Qi is about to give birth in October, and no one dares to force her to participate, unexpectedly, she took the initiative to ask to go to the banquet, and everyone only thought that she was greedy for fun, who would have thought that it was because of what Concubine Wen said that night, and the imperial doctor also said that the noble body is very good, and going out to scatter more will help to produce, so no one theories, just waiting for the concubine's birthday to come.

Lan Qi thought that Concubine Wen would come to her again, but she waited until Concubine Tong's birthday, and she never saw Concubine Wen again.

Rong Concubine and Hui Concubine personally organized the birthday banquet for the concubine, I thought that the mourning period of Empress Niu Hulu was less than a year, and there would be no such things in the palace, but since the summer, all kinds of lively things have not fallen, the emperor is not as important as after the death of Empress Hesheri, and the mourning that should have been done in the spring, the impression left by people for most of the year is that there is no intention to stand up, and the other is that there is no need to be too sad, to serve the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, the queen's funeral, even if it is over.

Concubine Tong didn't expect that she would be named by the emperor to celebrate her birthday, and she didn't mention it in her soft words on weekdays, but she suddenly issued a holy decree that day, and then Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui came to ask for her life, which surprised her. Afraid that she would be suspected of being extravagant like this, she didn't wait to agree to Concubine Rong and concubine, and went to Cining Palace to thank her for the invitation, but the Empress Dowager was kind and pleasant, not only did she not blame her for celebrating her birthday, but also gave her another reward.

And she was afraid that Hui Concubine had an old grudge with herself, and would shirk the matter of handling her birthday, but she didn't expect her and Rong Concubine to do everything thoroughly, and that day she personally sent a new auspicious blessing to be worn on her birthday, when Hui Concubine left, Concubine Tong touched her new clothes and frowned and said: "She must hate me for leaving the eldest brother, I really don't know if there is a stitch in this dress is a curse." ”

Qinglian persuaded: "Hui Concubine Niangniang is only afraid that it is not for you, you have also seen it, after that incident, the emperor has a lot of lightness to the two Niangniang, Rong Concubine Niangniang used to be the most favored, and now I can't see the emperor a few times a month, Hui Concubine Niangniang is even less, and since they have a brother under their knees, the future of the brothers is important, I heard that the eldest brother is about to be Fu at the beginning of spring next year, and the emperor will not choose a good master in a thought, so that he can show his face in front of the emperor, he must hurry up to do it." ”

Concubine Tong Guifei listened to the Tao, her relationship with Qinglian is very delicate, Qinglian is very loyal to her and takes care of her, but on the one hand, listening to the words of Cining Palace, Concubine Tong also knows that she has two masters on her head, Tong Guowei persuaded her, without Qinglian, there will be purple lotus and red lotus, everyone is the same, now since Qinglian is good to her, it is better to get along well, anyway, since Cining Palace is eyeing her, it is difficult to get rid of it again, so the master and servant are still in good agreement with each other.

Qinglian reminded the concubine that October is also the birthday of Nala's little brother Wan Huang (Yin Tongfu), if she takes care of it more that day, not to mention that she wants to raise this little brother, at least the emperor knows that Concubine Tong has love for the princes, and even the birthday of the elder brother who is always alive is in his heart, and no matter what happens in the future, he will always leave a good impression in the emperor's heart.

Although Concubine Tong disdained a lowly son who was often born, she remembered that Queen Niu Hulu told her that no matter how lowly Brother's mother was, she was also the emperor's son, so she responded to Qinglian's words.

Xuan Ye only came halfway, seeing that she was very affectionate with Wan Huang, and asked why, only to know that this little brother had grown to three years old in obscurity, and even the youngest daughter Duan Jing followed Duan Concubine, only he was alone in the elder brother's house, Xuan Ye felt a little guilty as a father, and couldn't help but praise Tong Guifei for having a heart, and the concubine was grateful for Qinglian's reminder in her heart, and she was very happy with the light on her face.

Several other children, the eldest brother has begun to be sensible at the age of six or seven, Xuan Ye said a few days ago that he would let him go to the study in the coming year, Chunxi and Rong Xian are also slim, Duanjing has grown to more than four years old, the emperor rarely has time to pay attention to the children on weekdays, today at first glance, they are all alive and jumping, remembering that when Rong Concubine gave birth to his first child, he was only a teenager, and he didn't feel like a father at all. Concubine Tong said fondly that today was her birthday, so that the children could play.

Lan Qi sat under the table with the nobles, thinking about Concubine Wen's words that day, no more than when she was feasting Western envoys that day, she focused on watching the dancers perform or tasting delicious food, and today she was staring at Concubine Wen, watching her every move, I don't know when she will add notoriety to Concubine Tong.

At first, she was very nervous before Xuan Ye came, but when she saw him coming, although she had never seen her when she was talking and laughing with Concubine Tong, she was still more or less down-to-earth in her heart, looking forward to Xuan Ye following Concubine Tong all the time, don't let Concubine Wen have a chance, she will definitely not be able to hide it in a few months without a fetus, and she has escaped today, Concubine Wen will have to make it public sooner or later.

I thought in my heart, should I directly report that Concubine Wen has no child, so that she will not be tempted to splash dirty water on others, and she doesn't have to worry about it anymore, but Lan Qi just heard Concubine Wen say this, how could she not be more prepared for herself in her heart, in case the child in Concubine Wen's belly is still fine, she ran to talk nonsense, what will the Queen Mother and the Emperor think of her?

Although Concubine Wen once said in person that she would not harm herself, she used to be so weak and careless, and now she has become impressive, and Lan Qi can't be credulous in her promise.

And she never harmlessly cared for people, and she really couldn't imagine how to calculate to that step in order to harm Concubine Tong, when Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui designed step by step, she saw Concubine Tong running into the house of the third elder brother alone, and now Concubine Wen has to do what to do in order to point the finger at Concubine Tong? She thought about it distractedly, and remembered that Concubine Yi had no children at the beginning, and all the palace concubines found out that there was tiger and wolf medicine in the purse of Concubine Tong's reward, and Concubine Tong's refutation was not her fault, if it was really not her fault, since she entered the palace, although she has been arrogant and domineering and ruthless, she has been calculated and harmed by people all the time, which is really not easy.

"Duanjing, what are you doing?" Lan Qi was distracted, and saw that Bu Guiren came to pull Duanjing, the little princess was secretly taking the snacks on her table, she and Concubine Wen and Guo Guiren's meals were all made by Tong Guifei with the intention of letting the small kitchen make another, compared to the big fish and meat of others, it was lighter, and the dim sum fruits were made beautiful and exquisite, saying that they were afraid that pregnant women would have a bad appetite, and they would look good and hook their appetite, Duanjing's mouth was hungry and hot for a long time, and when she saw Lan Qi in a daze, she secretly came to take it, and was seen by Bu Guiren and stretched out her hand to stop it.

But Lan Qi hurt Duanjing the most, held the little girl in her arms and tickled, coaxed her to eat what she wanted to eat, she got up this morning and ate more dim sum made by Huanchun to hold on, and has not touched the things on the table so far, Duan Jing pointed to a plate of dim sum pressed into the shape of lotus petals with a mold, Lan Qi took a piece for her, she asked for it, and the noble man hated her for eating too much to hold on, but the little princess said that she wanted to take it for her sister and brother, and she actually picked up a whole plate of dim sum and turned around and ran.

Bu Guiren asked Pan Xia to follow, and said to Lan Qi: "You want to spoil her, didn't you see that the emperor blamed the eldest brother for being naughty just now, the emperor doesn't like playful children." ”

"If the emperor doesn't like it, he won't blame it, it's just that he suddenly has an addiction to being Amma, do you still think he is really blaming the eldest brother? I think I like it. Lan Qi smiled and pointed to Bu Guiren, and saw Duan Jing holding a snack over, the brothers and sisters gathered together, Wan Huang also came from Tong Guifei, and a few children sat on the side to eat snacks and have fun, Lan Qi sighed, "When the little brothers grow up and go to the study, the brothers and sisters can't play together." ”

Bu Guiren also sighed: "I just want Duan Jing to be a healthy and healthy adult, and I can't care if I'm happy or not." ”

Her sentence is not pessimistic, the palace has lost so many children, it is said that the harem of the previous dynasties is too yin, and the Forbidden City is a palace left from the previous dynasty, I am afraid that the unjust souls of the year are still wandering, resentful of Aixin Jueluo changed the dynasty and forcibly seized the Han people, so the royal heirs are doomed. Naturally, these words must never be spoken.

Concubine Tong loves lively dramas, and then a martial arts show, beating gongs and drums made the whole Chengqian Palace lively, even the nobles talked to Lan Qi, they had to get close to hear it, Lan Qi saw that Concubine Wen had been sitting quietly eating and drinking tea, and gradually let go of her thoughts, and at this time she was listening to the nobles complaining that the martial arts were too noisy, and suddenly Concubine Wen slipped the tea bowl in her hand.

The gongs and drums were too loud, and the tea bowl fell to the ground without hearing the sound, but as Concubine Wen fell from the chair, there was a commotion on that side, and the play on the stage immediately stopped, and before everyone came back to their senses, they heard the cry of the child.

Everyone was in a hurry and panicked, Xuan Ye frowned in the upper seat, Concubine Tong was even more inexplicable, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were crying when they saw their children, and they were so panicked that they couldn't care about the things at the banquet.

Xuan Ye and Concubine Tong had no choice but to retreat into the inner hall, the princesses of Ah Ge had a doctor rush to treat them, Concubine Wen was sent back to Xianfu Palace, Guo Guiren and Lan Qi were also sent back because they were pregnant, and the others were asked to stay where they were.

After Lan Qi was sent back to Zhongcui Palace, soon the imperial doctor came to see her, and after seeing her, she was about to return immediately, Huanchun came back after sending it out, and said with a pale face: "I heard that Concubine Wen Niangniang slipped the fetus, and the brothers and princesses also ate bad things, suspected of poisoning, and the nurses said that they were uncomfortable after eating the dim sum that Princess Duanjing took from you, only the prince has been by the emperor's side, and he didn't come to eat to escape the catastrophe." ”

Lan Qi's heart almost jumped out of her throat, if she hadn't moved the food on the table because she had eaten too much in the morning, would she have returned to the West with the child in her womb now?

Luzhu Ziyu also quickly inquired about the news, saying that Guo Guiren had eaten half of the dim sum, and there was no discomfort at the moment, but the dim sum on her table was also found to be poisonous, and Concubine Wen and the noble people in front of the table were like this.

Ziyu said hatefully: "The concubine is too vicious, no wonder she makes another meal for you, but she is not stupid, who doesn't suspect that it is her." ”

"She's not going to be so stupid." Lan Qi's breathing was heavy, her heart was unsettled, and her eyes were full of Concubine Wen's face and those words, this woman was so vicious, did she even want to harm herself and Guo Guiren, and Nala often went to banquets, is it the same result? She didn't just harm Tong Guifei alone, why did she kill everyone, and how did she know that Tong Guifei would make another meal for pregnant women? Lan Qi, who has no intention of harming others, can't figure out how to do all this, and the current Concubine Tong must be at a loss for words.

"Get me clothes, I'm going to Chengqian Palace." Lan Qi moved her body clumsily from the kang, and Huanchun asked her what she was doing, just let her wait for news here, but at this moment, Xiangyue ran in, and cried with a frightened face, "Chengqian Palace dragged the dead out of the palace, it was the eunuch cook in the small kitchen of the concubine Niangniang, who was killed by blood all over his head, and the slave maid looked right, and the slave maid was scared to death." ”

Huanchun was furious, beat her out, scolded her for being ignorant to scare the master, Xiangyue was crying outside the house, Lan Qi felt sorry for her, let Luzhu coax her, and insisted on wearing clothes to go out, Huanchun couldn't resist a few people, for fear that she would hurt the child in anger, and carefully sent it to Chengqian Palace, the concubines and clan ladies who were not allowed to leave while sitting in the original seat saw the noble people turn back, and they all felt so strange, Bu Guiren had cried because Duanjing was also poisoned, and the concubines and Rong concubines and Hui concubines were all taking care of the children in the matching hall, only Yi Concubine was in charge here, When he saw her coming, he hurriedly came up and persuaded: "Go back, what are you going to do?" ”

Lan Qi said: "The concubine wants to see the emperor. ”

Yi Concubine shook her head: "The matter is in the Chengqian Palace, the emperor seems to be asking the concubine Niangniang, and you don't have a good face when you go in." Listen to me and go back, my sister has also had an accident, I can't leave if I want to go, don't make trouble again. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were all angry when they heard it, and the princesses still don't know what to do, how can you and the child be okay. ”

"Niangniang, let the concubine go to see the emperor......"

Before Lan Qi finished speaking, the door of the main hall opened, Xuan Ye came out of it, the young emperor was full of anger, and walked straight out, seeing Lan Qi in front of the door, he was even more angry, and he scolded him in front of him: "What are you going to do, go back to the palace immediately, don't hang around outside, and don't go out of the door of Zhongcui Palace until you give birth from now on." ”

Lan Qi knew that Xuan Ye didn't mean to be so fierce, and now his children were uncertain about life and death, how could he have a good face, and he didn't dare to say anything, but he saw the guards escorting the emperor away, and I heard that he was going to Xianfu Palace to visit Concubine Wen, and although Concubine Wen slipped but her life was saved, those poisons did not hurt people's lives, the child ate vomiting and abdominal pain, and the pregnant woman ate it is her current result.

The others were allowed to leave, and everyone gradually dispersed, Yi Concubine hurried back to see her sister, seeing that Lan Qi was not leaving here, she didn't bother to pay attention to it anymore, and hurried back to her Yikun Palace, from time to time those who should have left, the noisy Chengqian Palace finally quieted down, Huanchun was about to persuade the master to leave, but she walked to the main hall, Huanchun followed, Lan Qi stretched out her hand to let her wait outside the door, she approached the inner hall step by step, and sure enough, she saw Tong Guifei sitting on the ground, her face was discolored and tears flowed, her body twitched slightly, and she raised her eyes to see Lan Qi coming in, There was hatred and contempt in his weak face, and he smiled hideously: "Is it okay in your stomach?" Since it's okay, what are you doing here, are you going to accuse me too? ”

"Concubine Niangniang, do you have a trusted imperial doctor in this palace?" Lan Qi didn't answer the question, approached her, and said with a solemn face, "Is there anyone in the hospital who is worthy of your trust?" ”

Concubine Tong sneered, pointed at Lan Qi fiercely and said, "You said that this palace collaborated with the imperial doctor to harm you, and now the cook who cooked has been killed, so you want to find the imperial doctor to back up and testify against me?" Wu Ya Lanqi, what kind of excitement do you make, don't you accumulate virtue for the child in your belly? ”

"Niangniang, if you have a doctor, please ask him to go to Xianfu Palace with us to see if Concubine Wen has a slippery fetus." Lan Qi was not afraid, but stretched out her hand to Concubine Tong, "Get up quickly, sit here and cry, there is no way to clear your wrongs." ”

"What do you mean?" The concubine's eyes showed a little hope, Xuan Ye had already told her about this matter, if no one could prove her innocence, even if the emperor tried his best to protect her, this notoriety would be difficult to get rid of, and Xuan Ye had not doubted her at the moment, and her heart was broken when she heard her heartbroken words.

"Concubine Wen Niangniang personally said to the concubine, her fetus was gone before the Double Ninth Festival, is it a slippery fetus now, the imperial doctor knows at a glance, if so, the imperial doctor around her is not credible at the moment, even if it is not so, the concubine can also say a few words for you in front of the emperor, that day Concubine Wen asked the concubine to join forces with her to put the sinister fetus on you, even if Concubine Wen Niangniang is really slippery today, this medicine may not be her own."

Lan Qi said word by word, the hope in Concubine Tong's eyes became stronger and stronger, she looked at Lan Qi blankly, and asked in a daze, "Are you helping me?" ”

"The concubine just doesn't want you to be wronged, so there's nothing to help or not." Lan Qi was indifferent, seeing Concubine Tong get up, she asked her to collect her clothes, she turned around and waited in front of the door, and then Concubine Tong came out, Qinglian and Huanchun came to support their master, the two walked out one after the other, and Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong in the palace happened to see each other, looking at each other inexplicably, I don't know how these two people walked together, and I don't know where they are going, Concubine Rong immediately asked Ji Xin to follow to see what is going on.

Concubine Tong's Imperial Physician Zhang is the person arranged by Tong Guowei in the Tai Hospital, since the Empress Xiaokang has served in the Great Nei, the Empress Xiaokang was his womb when she was pregnant with Xuanye, and now she is old, and her status in the Tai Hospital is very important, but Niu Hulu's family has another arrangement, and it is considered a safe life if they do not interfere with each other, and today such a thing happened, Imperial Doctor Zhang had some suspicions, at this moment Tong Guifei urgently summoned him, I heard that he was going to see a doctor for Concubine Wen, and Imperial Doctor Zhang said that he must do his best to check.

When he arrived at Xianfu Palace, the Queen Mother was already there, and Xuan Ye saw that Concubine Tong and Lan Qi came with the Imperial Doctor, and he was full of inexplicability, and he was even more annoyed that Lan Qi was nosy, but the little nobleman was afraid of seeing his angry eyes, so he simply didn't look at the emperor at all, and only stood behind Concubine Tong and listened to her say arrogantly as before: "Imperial Doctor Zhang was the one who gave Empress Xiaokang a baby back then, can the emperor still believe it?" The concubine only wants to be innocent, and she can't harm anyone at this moment, and please ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to show Concubine Wen Niangniang, and see what the Imperial Doctor says after that, the concubine has a reason. ”

Xuan Ye only listened to a few words sporadically, and kept staring at Lan Qi who was standing behind the concubine, she looked difficult with her stomach, what to do and make a fuss about these things, she was annoyed in her heart, and she didn't speak for a while, so the concubine took the opportunity to acquiesce to him, and forcibly asked Imperial Doctor Zhang to treat Concubine Wen, and the imperial doctor went in, and Xuan Ye didn't want to make a fuss too ugly in front of the Queen Mother, so he didn't stop him anymore.

The Queen Mother was annoyed that Concubine Tong was vicious, and said coldly: "What can your imperial doctor say, what reason do you have, Concubine, if there is a good one among the princesses, are you going to destroy the emperor's grandfather's family?" ”

Xuan Ye's eyes flickered, the Queen Mother's words seemed to make him uncomfortable, but he couldn't refute it, and endured it silently, but Concubine Tong never put the Queen Mother in her eyes, and at this moment she also bluntly contradicted it, and said proudly: "The Queen Mother wants to blame the concubine, please wait for the Imperial Doctor to come out." As a result, he was scolded by Xuan Ye and shut up, which made the atmosphere in the hall very depressing.

Not long after, Imperial Physician Zhang came out of it, bent his knees in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and said respectfully: "The minister guarantees with the head of the Xiang Shang, Concubine Wen did not slip today." ”

The Queen Mother was taken aback, and sneered again: "Are you confused, old lady?" What does it mean that there are no slippery tires, do you change a clean mattress before you see it? Do you want to let the minions here lead you to see the bloodstains? ”

Imperial Physician Zhang said calmly: "Where does Concubine Wen's blood come from, the old minister doesn't know, but if the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you can ask all the doctors in the hospital to see, Concubine Wen has no signs of slippery fetus today, and Concubine Wen has no happy pulse, whether she is not pregnant at all, or has a slippery fetus a long time ago, the old minister can't be determined." ”

The Queen Mother was furious, pointed at Xuan Ye and said, "Her happy pulse is in Ningshou Palace, and my imperial doctor can see it, can it be fake?" ”

Xuan Ye's face was solemn, as if she realized something, and she was about to speak, but she saw Lan Qi walking forward and clumsily bending her knees to the ground, and the Queen Mother was so shocked that she asked someone to help her, but she said: "Please also ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor to retreat, the concubine has something to say." ”

On this side, the illness of several princesses and elder brothers has stabilized, and after the children vomited and ate what they ate, they were all relieved and sent back, when Rong Concubine and Hui Concubine were about to leave, they saw Ji Xin rushing back, saying that the people in Xianfu Palace were driven out of the main hall, only the Queen Mother, the emperor and Tong Guifei, and Degui were talking inside, and they didn't know what to say, and when she rushed back, they didn't disperse, because there were more people who came out, and she was afraid that she would leave first.

"Deguiren has never been a person who causes trouble, she suddenly got close to Concubine Tong, does she know something?" Concubine Hui was full of suspicions, Concubine Rong only remembered the child and said that she would always know, after the two dispersed, Concubine Hui sent people around her to inquire, but it took a long time to come back, but she told her that the Queen Mother stayed and did not leave, and the emperor took the noble people to the Qianqing Palace, and Concubine Tong returned to the Chengqian Palace by herself, saying that she looked very proud, and she didn't know what happened.

Concubine Hui frowned, and then asked: "You said that the emperor took the noble people to the Qianqing Palace, what is this son taking her there for?" ”
