Let's say that since the Wang family and the Yuan family entered the palace, because of their humble position, Lan Qi has never set foot in their courtyard, and the first time she came back, it was a cold and windy late night, when the warm sedan chair stopped in front of the courtyard, Wang Changzai was waiting at the door wearing the regular clothes in the house, and he didn't even close a big coat, and the beauties shivered under the lantern.

"Is it okay for Yuan to agree?" Lan Qi asked.

"If you go back to your mother, my sister just keeps crying, clamoring to see the little princess." Wang Changzai lowered his head and said helplessly, "The concubine has been persuaded for a long time to no avail, just to make trouble looking for death and life, the concubine is frightened, afraid that something will happen to her, so I want to tell the mother to know." ”

"Come into the house and say, you're frozen." Lan Qi said lightly, and walked into the house with the big man, although this yard is small, but it is also a two-entry specification, Wang Chang is in front of the residence, Yuan promised to live in the back, and the group walked into the house that Yuan promised, she only gave birth yesterday, and many things in the house have not been removed.

On the bed, Yuan promised to shrink in the arms of the palace maid and wept, the palace maid told her that Concubine De Niangniang was coming, but she didn't react, Wang Chang stepped forward to pull her, but she shook her hand and pushed her away, making a very ugly scene.

Someone brought a chair to Concubine De, Lan Qi sat at the front of the bed, but heard Wang Chang say softly: "For most of the past half a month, my sister has been in bad spirits every day, and she is suspicious and worried that she will give birth soon, and the doctor makes trouble several times a day, and she fell asleep after giving birth yesterday, and she has been crying since she woke up, saying that the concubines and palace maids have snatched her child, saying that her child will not survive." ”

"The little princess is in the elder brother's office, and Mama Su Mala is now in charge of the affairs of the elder brother's institute, and the princess will be taken care of in the best way, what is there to worry about?" Lan Qi's face was serious, looking at the Yuan family who was shrunk up on the bed, remembering that the two sisters were quiet and docile people before, and suddenly they were like this, and everyone felt strange to change them.

"Give me back the child...... Yuan promised to cry in the arms of the palace maid, and the palace maid told her over and over again that Concubine De was here, and let Concubine De be in charge, but she didn't seem to react, Lan Qi looked at it, and felt that she was not quite right.

After giving birth to the fourth elder brother, she was depressed for a while, and she refused to tie her belly belt, and she made trouble with Sister Bu, and during that time, the prince had a pox rash, and the three palaces and six courtyards were grounded, and she didn't know that she was making trouble outside the house, but then she finally eased up, but even when the trouble was the worst, it was not Yuan who promised it.

"Mother?" At this moment, everyone couldn't help but want to stop Concubine De when they got up and approached Yuan to agree, but Lan Qi had already walked in front of her, and Yuan looked at her in horror, gasping for breath in her throat, obviously very scared.

"Sister Yuan, do you still recognize me?" Lan Qi grabbed her hand suddenly.

"Let go of me! Let me go! Yuan Wei screamed and broke free of Lan Qi's hand, and cried in the arms of the palace maid, and vaguely heard that "the noble person Ping is coming to kill me, she is coming to kill my child......"

Lan Qi frowned when she heard this, the people around her opened their mouths in disbelief, and there was no second person in the room who made any more noise, only hearing Yuan promise crying: "She's coming to kill me, the Ping Guiren is here, drive her away......"

"That's what she usually says?" Lan Qi glared at Wang Changzai angrily, Wang Changzai knelt on the ground in fright, and said tremblingly, "I only mention a few words occasionally, but this is the first time that the concubine has heard of this." ”

"What the hell happened?" Lan Qi asked again, but Wang was frightened by Concubine De, tears rippled and could not speak, Huan Chun motioned to the idlers to wait, helped Wang Changzai up from the side, and said gently, "Chang Zai don't cry, Niang Niang is worried that you and Yuan agreed, otherwise you wouldn't have come in the middle of the night, if you have anything to say, just say it to Niangniang." ”

The weak woman finally quieted down, and said: "A few days ago, the noble man sent something, which frightened Sister Yuan, and after that day, she was a little crazy, and the concubine didn't dare to publicize it, thinking that she would be fine in a few days, who knew it would become like this." ”

"What did you send?" Lan Qi tried to hold back her temperament.

"It's something for children, but there's a white doll in it." Wang Chang ran to the cabinet promised by Yuan in tears, took out a cloth bag from a deep place, Huan Chun took it and unfolded it in front of Lan Qi, a white rag doll, with the eight characters of birth written on it, full of needle eyes, and I don't know what kind of animal blood it has dyed black.

Huanchun was afraid of polluting the master, and when she saw it, she took it far away, and Wang Changzai cried: "It's mixed in the gifts sent by the Ping nobles, Sister Yuan was so frightened when she saw it that she didn't mention it, this birthday is Sister Yuan's, and she has always felt that the Ping nobles want to kill her and the child." ”

"It's these tricks again, and you can't play something new in the palace." Such words seem familiar, Lan Qi smiled coldly, but when she looked at the crying Yuan Promise, other thoughts inadvertently popped up in her heart, and she sighed and said, "Let the imperial doctor see it for a few more days, if it's still not good, let the emperor know, how to deal with it after seeing it, Mobei is nervous at the moment, the emperor is upset, don't bother him with the matter of the harem." ”

Wang Chang responded, Lan Qi told her a few more words, and before leaving, she told Huan Chun to take the doll away, and did not say anything else. Wang Changzai sent Concubine De Niangniang out all the way, as soon as the people of Yonghe Palace walked away, she immediately ran back to the backyard, Yuan promised to be already wiping her face in the house, and when she saw her coming back, she asked anxiously: "Will Niangniang believe it?" Sister, I was scared to death just now, Concubine De didn't speak, her eyes seemed to see me through. ”

Wang Chang said at the door of his heart: "I see that you cry very much, when I got rid of my mother, I thought you were really crazy, she was so nervous, she must have believed it." ”

Yuan promised to be very tired, pretending to be crazy and stupid, panting and saying, "As long as someone takes care of her, our life will be better." It's not that we want to frame her, it's that she bullied us openly and secretly, and we are helpless in the palace, what else can we do. ”

"You rest first, you have to work hard to pack it up these days, the people in our yard are not reliable, who knows if it will spread anything." Wang Changzai was also tired, sat down on the side and said, "I hope Niangniang can help us this time and rectify that noble person, and others will always be easier to deal with." We have a low status and don't rely on it, long live the Lord just doesn't think about us these days, they all come to the well and bully one by one, and there are new people in the harem, do we want to be slaughtered? ”

Yuan promised to say worriedly: "Is Concubine De reliable?" ”

Wang shook his head: "Anyway, there is no one better than her, and the family always says that it is best to try to win over Yonghe Palace if there is anything." ”

No one expected that Yuan promised this crazy disease, purely to show people, Concubine De Niangniang came in the middle of the night, tomorrow someone will always have to find out why, Wang Changzai and Yuan promised to be afraid that Concubine De Niangniang would not be able to do it like they went to Yonghe Palace for help last time, so they deliberately made it so ugly to find death and life.

On the side of Yonghe Palace, it was deeper at night when Lan Qi came back, and sure enough, Jingyang Palace had already sent someone to ask what was going on, and Huan Chun replied for his master that Yuan Yuan, who only went to visit and gave birth, agreed, and there was nothing special. When they entered the door, the group waited to wash up, and it was almost midnight, Lan Qi lay down tiredly, and urged Huan Chun to rest.

Huan Chun said: "That doll slave has been put away, what are you doing with this filthy thing, do you want to take it to confront the peace nobles?" ”

"What to confront first, wait a few days before talking." Lan Qi shook her head, thinking about it, "Ping Guiren doesn't necessarily hurt them with real knives and guns, I left tonight, if she really does something crooked, and she is not in a hurry for these two days, aren't you afraid that I will target her?" ”

"That's the truth, to put it mildly, the noble people have been quite peaceful these days, and they haven't seen the same as before." Huanchun also felt strange.

Lan Qi said: "The noble people of Ping have been peaceful recently, so if you have to say that it is strange, it is Yuan who promised herself." If you are really crazy and ask the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor will not dare to hide it, and in those few days, I only know that Yuan promised to be born at any time if he was not stable, and the imperial doctor's reply did not mention her spirit. ”

Huan Chun smiled: "Could it be that the master suspects that Wang Changzai and Yuan promised to lie to you?" ”

Lan Qi sighed and said: "The Ping nobles have been in the palace for a while, and they won't be so stupid in doing things, and they are about to harm them, how can they put the doll in the gift they sent, this matter is either that the two sisters are stupid, thinking that I can believe it, so they deliberately made these things, or the Ping nobles are too stupid and vicious, and even worse, maybe there are the third or fourth people, if I go to check with great fanfare, I don't know when I will see the bottom, at most I will make a scene, and make everyone's faces ugly, why bother?" ”

Huanchun didn't expect the master to think so deeply and complicatedly, and asked, "You mean, we don't care?" ”

"Let's stay cold for a few days, and see how Wang Chang is there." Lan Qi bowed her head, and already had an idea in her heart, "If the noble person really has the heart to deal with the two of them, she will at least restrain herself in the next few days, and there will be a few days of peace in the palace." But if on the contrary, it is Wang Chang who wants to bite back against the nobles, then I ignore it, and they should be in a hurry. No matter which side of them is at fault, I can't just let them take advantage of it, you want Sister Rong to be in charge of the affairs of the palace for so many years, and she can still be left and right and no one can be offended, isn't it just that every time there is something important, she stands calmly on the dry shore? ”

Huan Chun said with a smile: "The master can learn all the skills of Concubine Rong." ”

Lan Qi turned over, already asleep, and said nonchalantly: "Blue is better than blue." ”

A peaceful night, the next day what Yuan promised was announced in the palace, Concubine Rong heard something and naturally wanted to ask for an understanding, but before Lan Qi could explain to her, a holy decree came and delivered it to the two of them.

In addition to the death day of the Empress Dowager at the end of the month and the trivial matters related to Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, the emperor gave another decree to the two, saying that they would leave for Changchun Garden on the third day of the first lunar month, and let them draw up a list of accompanying drivers, and then serve the Empress Dowager together, and this time all the elder brothers followed, and the emperor had already chosen a place in Changchun Garden for them to study.
