Volume 6 Chapter 44 Peel back the cocoon

Before Ma Jia Yiqing and Nala Yanhui arrived at Yongshou Palace, they had already been invited to Cining Palace by the eunuchs of Qianqing Palace.

Xuan Ye finally knew, in this snowy afternoon.

Yun Yue and Chun Xi were also invited to Cining Palace, and when they walked into the main hall, they happened to see Xuan Ye who was furious, accusing the imperial doctor of incompetence.

"Concubine Hua has a nightmare, she hasn't woken up, you said she needs time to recuperate, and when her high fever subsides, she will be safe." Xuan Ye was furious: "Now, even the Queen Mother has fallen asleep and has not woken up for a long time, why?" ”

Several imperial doctors led by Lu Wenhan trembled, knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.

"Speak." Seeing them like this, Xuan Ye was greatly annoyed and even more angry.

Lu Wenhan said calmly: "Back to the emperor, the queen mother is depressed and temporarily asleep, Weichen has already applied the needle, I think it will not take half an hour, the queen mother will wake up." ”

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Xuan Ye still wanted to be angry, Chun Xi hurriedly took a few steps forward, and now in front of him, he just blocked Xuan Ye's sight.

Seeing Chunxi, Xuan Ye's anger disappeared a little, and he was blocked by Chunxi, and he couldn't see a few imperial doctors for a while, so he was quickly diverted by Chunxi's words.

"The top priority is to wake up the Queen Mother first, if the Queen Mother does not wake up after half an hour, it is not too late for the emperor to ask for the guilt." Xuan Xi's gentle voice made Xuan Ye's anger dissipate little by little, and gradually calmed down.

"Go to the Queen Mother and guard it, if the Queen Mother doesn't wake up after half an hour, I will not forgive." Xuan Ye said coldly.

"Why are you here?" Xuan Ye looked at Chun Xi and Yun Yue behind her.

Yun Yue said: "The concubine originally wanted to ask Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong for a question, but she never thought that the two of them were called to Cining Palace by the emperor on the way, so they wanted to give up." I also heard that the Queen Mother is now ill, so I came to visit. ”

Xuan Ye glanced at Ma Jia Yiqing and Nala Yanhui who were sitting in the chair again, and said, "I also have something I want to ask them." Now that you're here, let's listen to it together. Let's see if it's the same thing I asked. ”

Chunxi and Yunyue sat beside Xuan Ye left and right, and listened to Xuan Ye ask Nala Yanhui and Ma Jia Yiqing: "Because I am busy with government affairs, I rarely come to the harem for nearly half a month. In the past two days, I have never come to Cining Palace to ask for peace, but I didn't know that such a big thing had happened. I heard that the concubine had sent someone to inquire carefully, and all those who chewed their tongues were gone. Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui assisted in the Sixth Palace, why did they not do anything? Didn't you know it later than I knew? ”

"The concubine really just knew that the third elder brother had suffered from the cold in recent days, and the concubine's mind was on the third elder brother, lest the third elder brother have anything wrong. It is the dereliction of duty of the concubine, please ask the emperor to punish it. Ma Jia Yiqing took the lead in kneeling down, and her attitude was sincere, not like she was talking nonsense at all.

When Xuan Ye heard her say this, his face was much happier, and he looked at Nala Yanhui again.

Nala Yanhui was a little flustered, and hurriedly knelt down: "The emperor is angry, Mengqi has not been in good health since she was pregnant. In recent days, the concubines have set up a Buddhist hall in the side hall of Yanxu Palace, praying for blessings every day. This morning, Mengqi's body improved, and the concubine fell asleep. I don't want to sleep now, if it weren't for the concubine Niangniang sending someone to invite, the concubine wouldn't know what was going on. ”

Mengqi is the eldest brother Yinchu's concubine Fujin, she finally conceived a child, and the imperial doctor also said that this fetus is unstable and should be paid attention to. These Xuan Ye also knew about it, but he didn't expect that for the sake of her daughter-in-law and grandson, Nala Yanhui would be willing to kneel in the Buddhist hall every day.

Xuan Ye calmed down, although they were excusable, but as the person in charge of the Sixth Palace, he only cared about himself and ignored others, which really shouldn't be.

"What do you have to ask them?" Xuan Ye suddenly faced Yunyue and changed the subject.

Yun Yue smiled and said: "Recently, rumors have spread in the palace, and the concubines have been questioned, and several palace maids and eunuchs have also been punished. Yan Xi Palace's wonderful promise was also punished for his disrespectful words. Therefore, the concubine thought of asking Concubine Hui about the Yanxu Palace. I never thought that Concubine Hui was in the Buddhist hall every day, so naturally she didn't know what was going on outside. I didn't have to ask any more. ”

Nara Yanhui breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yunyue say this. Miao promised to enter the palace with Tong Ruohua and the others, and he has not had any grace since he entered the palace. Because Na La Yanhui is not very favored, Xuan Ye does not have many times to go to Yanxu Palace. Miao promised that he had almost never even seen Xuan Ye's face. It's just that I know about this incident that Miao promised that he was not a safe one, and a broken mouth would eventually invite trouble.

Yunyue looked at Ma Jia Yiqing again and said, "As for Concubine Rong, because she was the first person to wait for the emperor, and she had already entered the palace when the first emperor was there, the concubine also wanted to ask about the rumors." ”

Speaking of this, without waiting for Xuan Ye to speak, Yun Yue had already stood up, and knelt down respectfully in front of Xuan Ye: "The emperor is angry, the concubine believes in the queen mother, but it is only about the queen mother of the two palaces, and the concubine does this just to find out what happened." so as not to cause misunderstandings and affect the reputation of the Queen Mother. The concubine also wants to return the queen mother's innocence. ”

"You don't have to pay back the innocence of the mourning family." The voice of the Empress Dowager Renxian came from the door, and everyone looked up, and she was helped by two grandmothers to walk towards the main hall.

Xuan Ye immediately got up, stepped forward quickly to replace one of the grandmothers, and helped the Empress Dowager Renxian to sit down in his previous position, while he stood aside.

"The emperor's mother should have a good rest, why did she come here in person?" Xuan Ye's voice was as usual, but at this moment, in the ears of the Empress Dowager Renxian, it was extremely harsh.

"It's a matter of mourning, and I should come here in person to prove my innocence." Empress Dowager Renxian tried to calm herself down, she looked at Yun Yue who was kneeling on the ground: "What does Concubine Rong want to ask?" It's better to ask the mourners directly. ”

Yunyue didn't dare to raise her head, and naturally she didn't dare to ask.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Empress Dowager Renxian was a little annoyed, and scolded: "The mourning family asked you to ask." ”

Yun Yue raised her head at this time, glanced at Xuan Ye, and saw him nodding silently, before she said, "The concubine just wanted to ask about the situation at that time when the Empress Dowager Cihe died." ”

"She has always been weak, the emperor was still young when he ascended the throne, and she couldn't raise it herself, so she was handed over to the empress dowager to raise." Empress Dowager Renxian said frankly: "Later, she became more and more ill, and the mourning family was ordered by the Empress Dowager to personally take care of her for more than a month. Her body gradually improved. It's just that she still didn't survive half a year before she died. ”

The more Empress Dowager Inheon spoke, the more sad she became, with tears in her eyes and blurring her eyes.

"The mourning family never expected that twenty-six years later, someone would say that the mourning family harmed her." In the last sentence, the Empress Dowager Renxian was crying, and her tears couldn't help but flow down.

"Don't be sad Queen Mother, the emperor and his concubines also believe in you. Twenty-six years ago, it is difficult to verify, but it is not impossible. Chun Xi handed over a handkerchief and wiped her tears for the Empress Dowager Inxian.

The Empress Dowager Renxian saw that Chunxi was also present, and her heart was estranged. A little displeased, unwilling to take what she handed over.

Xuan Ye took it and squatted on the ground to carefully wipe it for her. When the Empress Dowager Renxian saw him like this, she was greatly moved, and her tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Don't be sad about the emperor's mother, since the things of the year have passed, I will definitely not pursue anything more. What's more, how could a shrewd person like an ancestor allow such a mess to happen under his nose. Xuan Ye was relieved: "Although I was young at the time, I didn't have no memories. E-niang is weak, and I often can't see her. She had been sick for so long, and she didn't survive that late spring. Today, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were recruited over, also for those who spread rumors. The concubine has already been carefully investigated, and I believe that there will be results soon. ”

Xuan Ye comforted a lot, but he didn't say anything about trusting the Empress Dowager Inxian. Chun Xi already knows, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, I am afraid that it will hurt the mother-son relationship between the Empress Dowager Renxian and Xuan Ye. was not a close mother and son in the first place, and there was no nurturing grace. However, because the Empress Dowager Renxian is his mother-in-law, Xuan Ye should be filial to her, so he treats her so well. If this is the case, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Renxian will not have a good time in the future.

Although Cining Palace is large, it cannot tolerate loneliness.

The Empress Dowager Renxian only felt Xuan Ye's tenderness at the moment as if she didn't understand, but she didn't notice the indifference in Xuan Ye's words at all.

Or because they never got close. This sudden comfort made the Empress Dowager Renxian have a little reverie. thought that Xuan Ye believed in her and was willing to investigate this matter thoroughly.

Ma Jia Yiqing, who had been silent for a long time, also said gently: "The concubine was with the Empress Dowager Cihe at that time. She was so sick that she could barely get out of bed. The concubines have also seen the queen mother serve with her own eyes, and she has worked tirelessly day and night, how can people bear it? What's more, before the emperor ascended the throne, the queen mother was the queen, and the queen mother of Cihe was just a concubine. In the world, where is the queen who personally takes care of the concubines? It's just that the queen mother of the two palaces is harmonious and has the best relationship, so it can be like this. ”

Although these words sounded nothing on the surface, both Chunxi and Xuan Ye heard a different meaning. Sure enough, when Chun Xi looked at Xuan Ye, a little hesitation flashed in the other party's eyes.

Chunxi glared at Ma Jia Yiqing, but the other party still smiled. Chun Xi sneered in her heart, she actually mislooked at Ma Jia Yiqing in the past, but she didn't expect her to be such a vicious person.

Yun Yue also heard that something was wrong, looked back at Ma Jia Yiqing, then glanced at Chun Xi and Xuan Ye, and finally turned her head to the Empress Dowager Renxian.

Empress Dowager Renxian didn't notice him, and still sobbed in a low voice. That well-maintained face is now pale.

Yun Yue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the person behind this is meticulous, and I'm afraid it will not be easy to deal with. And although the Empress Dowager Renxian has been up and down in the palace for many years, she is still simple-minded. has been able to go smoothly, and I think it is also due to the protection of the former Empress Dowager Zhaosheng. Now, the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng has passed away for two years, and the Empress Dowager Renxian has no one to take care of her.

Looking at Xuan Ye's current attitude towards the Empress Dowager Renxian, he must no longer treat her as a respected elder as before.
