Jue Chan can readily agree, Lan Qi expected a little, but after all, it is to trouble others to do things, and it is not a good thing, always think more about others, and said repeatedly: "The concubine has not treated you badly, I have no position to ask you to do anything for me, besides, if this matter is known by her, your life in Xianfu Palace will be difficult in the future, although I will definitely try my best to protect your thoughtfulness, but it is inevitable that there will be places that cannot be taken into account, and you will be wronged because of this." ”

Jue Chan said: "The concubine just believes that the mother is not harmless." ”

Lan Qi bowed her head and sighed softly: "My sister has a miscarriage this time, I don't know if I can save my life next time, I can't let her be wronged and bullied in Niu Hulu's house, if it is really the concubine's doing, she must pay for it, but if it is not her, it will be the best result." ”

"Niangniang is really troubled for the sake of Fujin, the concubine thought that you would come to ask about the sixth elder brother, and then you would take action, but you didn't do anything, but this time, you even tried your best to see the concubine." Jue Chan was very emotional, "Does this count, forcing honest people to a desperate place?" ”

Lan Qi smiled indifferently: "I have seen the most desperate world, and I am already fearless. ”

Jue Chan smiled: "The same is true for concubines. What can the concubines do for the mother, and now the concubines can interfere in many things in the Xianfu Palace, and even most of the ten elder brothers are taken care of by the concubines. Having said that, the concubine didn't notice that the concubine was going to harm Fujin, but now the concubine is also very wary of the concubine, and she also hides it from the concubine, otherwise the concubine will be aware of it, and she must have come to remind you before that. ”

Lan Qi said calmly: "My sister was killed by a large amount of saffron, and Laba porridge is made in Xianfu Palace, if you want to put so much saffron, no one will notice, but Alinga insists that no one will pass this thing to the concubine privately, I will believe him." But he is not the only one in Niu Hulu's family, his brother Fakasu also had close contacts with the concubine during that time, if the concubine is involved in this matter, there are only two possibilities, either the saffron has been put down when the porridge is boiled in the palace, or she instructed Fakasu and his Fujin to do so, the former You may be able to find clues in the Xianfu Palace, but the evidence of the latter is really difficult to find, we can only ask Wen Guifei herself. ”

Jue Chan is a smart person, naturally understands that the so-called asking the concubine herself, not to run to ask her is so simple and stupid, quietly listen to Concubine De say the following, but see Concubine De walk to the door and call Huanchun, the door of the palace opened, and Huanchun handed in a burden.

Lan Qi unfolded the burden in front of the Juechan clan, there were several horses of various colors of brocade in it, and there was another bag of things that seemed to be medicinal materials in the brocade, and said to her: "Take back the brocade, you will know that you are making clothes for the fourth elder brother, and by the way, bring this bag of saffron back to Xianfu Palace, otherwise you will only take this bag of medicinal materials, which will be too eye-catching." In two nights, I will send someone to catch wild cats near the Xianfu Palace, and the sound of wild cats is like the cry of a baby, which I know is the most disgusting sound of the concubine. In the days to come, if you want her to see these saffron from time to time, whether it is in food or in the palace, if there is a ghost in her heart, she will be afraid, and she will not be able to hold back as the days go by, Dongyun must be the object of her confiding and venting, everything, it depends on you to pay attention to observe. If I can determine whether she has done anything, I will come forward in the future, but until then, it is equivalent to irrelevance to me, but if the concubine finds out that you are doing these things and doing something to you, I will do my best to protect you, and I will not let the concubine hurt you. ”

Jue Chan touched the slippery and soft brocade, and her fingers slowly touched the paper bag of medicinal herbs, she was a knowledgeable person, and knew that this bag of saffron was expensive, and Concubine De Niangniang really put in a lot of effort this time.

"The concubine understands, but this matter needs to be carefully planned, the mother waits patiently for a few days, and the concubine can't have more contact with you or the people involved in the days to come, the only time is probably to send clothes to the fourth elder brother, and the less contact between the mother and the concubine, the better." Jue Chan put away his things and said calmly, "The concubine Niangniang is not the person she used to be, and the concubine has always treated her as a patient, maybe she is really sick." ”

Lan Qi said solemnly: "Everything is up to you, I don't want to promise you any glory and wealth in the future, but if you need it in the future, I will do my best to help." ”

Juechan smiled and said: "The concubine can live to this day, how can it not be the credit of the mother?" It's just that you take those things for granted, but they just continue the life of the concubine again and again. This matter seems troublesome, but in fact it is simple, and the concubines must do their best. ”

After the two told each other a few more words, the door of the hall opened, Lan Qi put on his clothes and quickly disappeared from the door, Jue Chan waited for a while, the fourth elder brother brought Xiao Hezi over, Yinzhen was very polite, said that he wanted to trouble Jue Chan nobles to make clothes for him, Jue Chan gently measured the size for him, because they were not familiar with each other and did not say anything, just when they were about to finish these things, Yin Zhen asked Xiao Hezi to carry a pot of charcoal again.

"Actually, you don't have to bother to move the charcoal basin again, let's do it, and in about four or five days, I will send the new auspicious clothes for the fourth elder brother as soon as possible, so that you can catch up with the eldest brother's wedding." Jue Chan smiled softly, and had already begun to pack up his things, for fear that the bag of saffron would be seen by the fourth elder brother, so he carefully put it away.

"Thank you, thank you, for your bother." The fourth elder brother was very polite, but as soon as the conversation changed, he said, "Juezen noble, the eighth elder brother already knows that you are his mother, the eighth elder brother asked me if you don't like him, why every time we meet, it is very strange, we shouldn't ask about the affairs of adults, I just feel a little pitiful Yinxi." ”

Juechan didn't expect the fourth elder brother to say these words to her, she grabbed the burden in her hand, turned her back to Yinzhen, and didn't know how to respond, the voice of the imperial concubine behind sounded, she seemed impatient, and asked: "Why haven't you done it yet, Yinzhen, you should sleep, and you have to go to the study tomorrow morning." ”

If Juechan encounters amnesty, she doesn't like to mention the matter of the eighth elder brother to others, not to mention that the fourth elder brother is still a child, and immediately turned around and saluted, saying that it was all right, and she was about to leave, the imperial concubine took her son by her side, looked her up and down, and glanced at the burden again, coughed dryly and cleared her throat and said: "This matter will be handed over to you, if it is done, the palace will naturally have a reward." ”

Jue Chan looked up at the eyes of the imperial concubine, guessing what the imperial concubine was referring to, and then thought to herself that she was doing things for Concubine De anyway, the imperial concubine would leave alone, and hurriedly saluted and left after the promise, and the imperial concubine sent her son to rest earlier, and when she returned to the dormitory, it was snowing in the sky, and the imperial concubine didn't know what to sigh about, she reached out and took a few pieces of snow in her palm, and sighed for no reason: "I really don't know what will happen tomorrow today, what will happen to us in the future?" ”

On this side, when Juechan returned to Xianfu Palace, it also began to snow, she came to the main hall to see the concubine as usual, and the concubine had already heard the palace maid tell her that Juechan was left by the imperial concubine to tailor the clothes for the fourth elder brother, seeing that she came back with a package, I heard that it was the material for the fourth elder brother to make clothes, and I didn't think much about it, just sneered: "Sure enough, gold will always shine, even if you live in a simple place with me, there will always be someone who will think about you, you said that the emperor has a little thought about you, you are probably not the current situation, maybe the position of the fourth concubine has you a seat, Maybe it's a favorite concubine who can compete with the Wu Ya clan. ”

"The concubine doesn't have this blessing, but she will do a few needles to make you look at it." Jue Chan responded humbly, and said that it was not early, so he asked the concubine to sleep early, and he came back as usual, without showing anything unusual in front of people, and carefully placed the saffron in a place where even the fragrant lotus could not be touched.

The night was peaceful, but the snow that night was not big or small but lingered for two days, Jue Chan devoted himself to making new clothes for the fourth elder brother in the house every day, and there was nothing special in the slightest, but two days later, at night, she was woken up from a dream by the cry of a baby, the sound was sharp and harsh and rose and fell, but if you identify it carefully, you will know that it is the cry of a wild cat, not a real baby crying.

The huge Forbidden City, there are always some places that can't be managed, cats will climb the wall and trees, the Forbidden City has a heavy palace wall to lock people, but it can't stop these small things from shuttling back and forth, but the palace master lives around, there are always people who take care of it carefully, in the past, these little beasts can not be allowed to haunt, Juezen nobles have come to Xianfu Palace for so long, and it seems that it is the first time to hear it.

The wild cat barked constantly, and sure enough, there was some movement in the main hall, and the next morning, Xianghe came to tell her: "They said that there was a baby who cried all night last night, did the mother quarrel?" The slave and maid slept to death, and really didn't hear it, master, did you hear it? It's really scary, where did the baby come from? ”

Xianghe, a person who has no scheming and no worries, and works hard every day, of course, sleeps soundly at night, and it is normal not to hear the cat's meow, but Jue Chan is strange, there is snow everywhere these days, and a little check in the morning should have found that there are paw prints left by wild cats, why didn't they check Dongyun?

After coming to the main hall to ask for peace, the concubine was really tired, and it happened that Dongyun came back from nowhere, and said to the concubine: "The slave and maid sent people to check back and forth, there are no paw prints of cats and dogs, and there was no snow last night, so that the footprints will not be covered, and there are no traces of cleaning, I'm afraid it's not a wild cat." ”

"What is not a feral cat? Didn't you hear? The concubine's face changed suddenly, and she pointed to Dong Yundao, "Send me someone to go back and forth to the night tonight, if you catch wild cats and suffocate them to death, is it really a baby crying?" ”

Jue Chan was silent, only listened quietly on the side, but this night, even if the noble concubine sent people to constantly patrol around Xianfu Palace, in the middle of the night, the hideous sound of a baby crying sounded coldly and faintly in Xianfu Palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids checked over and over again, and there was no trace of a human figure or a wild cat, and they gradually felt eerie and terrifying, and even Juechan felt very strange.

Four or five days later, Concubine Wen had almost collapsed, but suddenly there was no more strange sound one night, and the concubine had a rare night's peace, just thinking that she had gotten rid of this strange cry, and the next night, the terrifying voice sounded again, even more poignant and terrifying than before.

This night, Jue Chan's clothes for the fourth elder brother were finally finished, and he didn't stop lighting the lamp, and he was used to hearing the cat's meow, but the main hall was terrible, and Xianghe hurriedly ran to tell her: "Concubine Wen ran out, saying that she was going to catch wild cats, and Sister Dongyun couldn't stop them, so they all went out." ”

Hearing this, Jue Chan took it to heart, and under the pretext of asking Xianghe to go to see how the tenth elder brother was, he turned around and took out the saffron from his private place, and quietly came to the concubine's dormitory while there was a lot of chaos in the Xianfu Palace.
