Chapter 15: Concubine Yan's Calculations

Bai Yuhe nodded, and secretly wrote it down, and Leng Yue also remembered it in his heart, and he had to be more cautious in his life now than when he was in Chuxiu Palace. An Rui Palace is not far from Qifeng Palace, and you will arrive while talking.

The sedan chair slowly stopped, and Jin Zhu said: "Master, Qifeng Palace has arrived." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to open the sedan curtain.

Bai Yuhe nodded, and she helped her get out of the sedan chair. At a glance, he saw that there were already a few sedan chairs parked next to him, and he thought that someone had already arrived first, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Leng Yue also noticed it, but looking at the level of the sedan chair, she didn't see Concubine Yan and Concubine Li, presumably she didn't come, or she had already gone back.

Before I arrived in the hall, I heard a crisp laugh coming from a distance, which sounded very lively. Bai Yuhe straightened up, stepped into the door, and as his eyes came, the voice suddenly disappeared.

Bai Yuhe let go of Jin Zhu's hand, and blessed the people in the hall: "The concubine asks the queen mother to say goodbye, may the queen mother be a thousand years old and a thousand years old!" ”

"There's no need to make this big gift, just sit down." The queen's voice was inexhaustibly flat, Bai Yuhe thought that she should be dissatisfied with the emperor's sudden appointment of concubines, after all, there was one more person to share her husband with. However, from her words, there was not a trace of dissatisfaction.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Bai Yuhe sat down, but no one dared to speak.

Leng Yue and Jin Zhu stood behind Bai Yuhe, and Leng Yue secretly turned her face slightly before she saw the queen's appearance clearly. Although the queen is almost forty years old this year, she looks unusually young, as if she is only twenty-five or sixteen. The queen's complexion is fair and delicate, her gorgeous face is majestic, but her beautiful eyes are plain and waveless, as if she has seen through the red dust.

There were many concubines in the emperor, and forty or fifty people came just to ask for peace, and no one dared to speak, and the atmosphere was a little dull. The queen said, "You all go back and rest." When all the concubines and concubines got up and left, and when Bai Yuhe was about to leave, the queen said: "Bai Guiren stayed to talk to the palace." ”

Bai Yuhe chuckled in her heart, she didn't understand why the queen left her alone, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, and said with a smile: "Does the queen have any instructions?" ”

The queen glanced at Bai Yuhe and said, "Look at you, you don't even have a decent piece of jewelry." After speaking, he pulled out a purple gold butterfly hairpin from his head and inserted it into Bai Yuhe's head: "This is what it looks like, I have heard that the left minister is honest, and I only believe it when I see you today." This hairpin is given to you, wear it in the future, today the palace is tired, you have to serve the emperor well in the future, go. ”

Bai Yuhe didn't dare to refuse, so she had to get up and say goodbye, and when she returned to Anrui Palace, she tore off the purple gold butterfly hairpin and threw it on the ground: "Hmph, what kind of reward, it's just to make others think that I am her person." ”

Leng Yue was frightened, and quickly picked up the hairpin and checked it carefully, fortunately it was strong enough and not broken, she chuckled: "Don't lose your temper, this is given by the queen, you can't afford to break it." Let's go to visit Concubine Yan, after all, it's better not to make enemies when you first arrive. ”

Bai Yuhe thought for a while, nodded, Leng Yue sorted out her appearance, and just after finishing, she heard the eunuch outside shouting: "Concubine Yan Niangniang has arrived-"

Bai Yuhe and Leng Yue were both stunned, glanced at each other and went out to greet them. Bai Yuhe squeezed out a bright smile and said, "Why is Niangniang here, the concubine is just about to go over to greet her." ”

Concubine Yan is the daughter of the general, and she is good at martial arts, so this person naturally has to be on guard, Bai Yuhe is not a fool, of course she knows that she can't offend Concubine Yan at the moment.

Concubine Yan was unusual, and enthusiastically took Bai Yuhe's hand and said, "Come, let's go into the house and talk, don't follow." ”

With such an order, Concubine Yan naturally couldn't follow Leng Yue in, so she could only wait outside.

Bai Yuhe was a little panicked when she saw that Leng Yue was not by her side, but she still smiled on her face: "Why didn't Niangniang wait for the concubine to go to ask for peace today, and come to see the concubine in person, it is really a shame for the concubine." ”

Concubine Yan smiled faintly, saw the eunuch close the door, and said: "It seems that the queen mother likes her sister very much, but this purple gold butterfly hairpin was rewarded by the queen mother." ”

Bai Yuhe pretended to be panicked and said, "Niangniang, don't get me wrong, this is a concubine who is cheeky and begging." ”

"Oh? That's it......" Concubine Yan naturally didn't believe it, and continued: "Sister, the queen has always had a heart palpitation, sister, I tried every possible way to get some good medicine, I wanted to send it by hand, but sister, I had some misunderstanding with the queen, and I was afraid that the queen would not accept it, so I asked my sister to do a favor and send it, so that my sister and the queen could get back together." ”

Bai Yuhe's nerves were tense, so she didn't believe that Concubine Yan was so kind, so she shirked and said: "Then how can it be done, this is my sister's credit, or my sister sent it personally." ”

Concubine Yan dipped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a crying expression: "Doesn't my sister refuse to help my sister?" Then my sister is afraid that she will no longer be able to serve the emperor in the future, and the queen has the right to place the jade plate, so my sister has not been able to sleep for two months, so you should pity the poor sister, and the sister will not forget her sister's great kindness in the future. I really sobbed as I said that.

Bai Yuhe didn't refuse at the moment, nor did she agree, refusing was tantamount to telling her that she was the queen's gang. If you promise, you don't dare to give it to the queen, what if it is poison in it, the queen is poisoned, and Concubine Yan dies and refuses to admit it? After hesitating for a while, he decided to agree first, and then discussed the countermeasures with Leng Yue, so he said: "Okay, my sister will try, but I don't dare to guarantee whether the queen is willing to eat my sister." ”

When Concubine Yan saw Bai Yuhe agree, a fine light flashed in her eyes, and she thanked her with a smile on her face: "Thank you, sister, don't disturb my sister's rest, my sister will go back first." ”

Sending Concubine Yan away, Bai Yuhe hurriedly pulled Leng Yue into the house, Leng Yue saw her look flustered, so she asked, "What?" Is Concubine Yan embarrassed you? ”

Bai Yuhe pointed to the jade bottle placed on the table and said, "Concubine Yan wants me to send this medicine for heart palpitations to the queen, but what if it is poison in it?" ”

Leng Yue picked up the jade bottle and checked it carefully, and found that the jade bottle was not sealed, so if something happened, Concubine Yan could also shirk it cleanly. So he opened the cork and poured out all the pills inside, and then put in the mint pills used in the palace to relieve the heat, and said: "The people here are all looking at it with their necks stretched, if you don't send it, you will offend people, and if you send it, you will offend people, and if you don't get it right, it will be a capital crime." Now that I have changed the medicine, you can send it with peace of mind, Concubine Yan will definitely not be able to say anything, and the queen will understand when she smells the medicine in this bottle. ”

Bai Yuhe nodded, but the emperor invited her to sleep again, so the night passed in a hurry. On the second day, Bai Yuhe went to the queen with a medicine bottle to say goodbye, but Concubine Yan and Concubine Li still didn't come, presumably because they never put the queen in their eyes because of their favor. While the concubines were chatting, Bai Yuhe took out the medicine bottle and said: "Queen Mother, yesterday Concubine Yan came to the concubine's residence and handed over a bottle of elixir for heart palpitations that she had worked so hard to find to the concubine, and asked the concubine to convey it to you, hoping to reconcile with you." ”
