Empress Dowager Lu said: "How does Zhu Qianyun want to take revenge? Did you kill Liu Heng? ”

Lu Chan was puzzled, "Is this appropriate?" ”

"Of course not!" Empress Dowager Lu looked serious, "Zhu Qianyun was sent over by us, let Zhu Qianyun kill Liu Heng, how will the people of the world think of the mourning family?" Don't the other vassal kings think that the mourning family wants to get rid of them? ”

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"As long as the mourning family can disturb the palace."

Lu Chan was a little disappointed, he finally found Zhu Qianyun, if it didn't come in handy, he was a little unwilling.

"But ......," Empress Dowager Lu said again, "Zhu Qianyun can be used as a last weapon......

She hoped that when it was a last resort, she could use Zhu Qianyun to assassinate Liu Heng, but whether Zhu Qianyun was willing to endure it was a question that worried her.

Seeing hope, Lu Chan proposed to persuade Zhu Qianyun. As expected, Zhu Qianyun was willing to go to the Dai Palace, because she didn't want to kill Liu Heng immediately, which would be too boring.

Zhu Qianyun's reply made the Empress Dowager Lu very happy, and the Empress Dowager Lu summoned all the women on the list into the palace and ordered someone to teach them court etiquette rules, behavior, and so on.

Everything is strictly carried out according to the process of the draft, and those women who can't do it will be eliminated, or become palace maids, or give them to other princesses.

The remaining women will undergo more rigorous training, which will eventually make them awe and loyal to the Queen Mother. Eventually, they were entrusted with important tasks and sent to various domains.

Like this, I went for another two months.

It was a big cold, and the weather was even colder.

Although the name of Yongchun Palace sounded warm, it failed to bring a little warmth to Ju Changhuan.

Several coughs came from the room.

Lan Yu held a bowl of steaming decoction in front of Ju Changhuan.

Ju Changhuan frowned, and seemed to be disgusted by the medicine.

"Good medicine is bitter......," Lan Yu persuaded, "The doctor said, your illness must get better quickly, otherwise it will affect the baby." ”

Hearing her say this, Ju Changhuan stretched his brows and took the medicine bowl. For the sake of the baby, what is this hardship?

"Be careful."

The warm feeling of holding the medicine bowl in his hand made Ju Changhuan love it.

Because of the last slippery tire, she fell ill and became more afraid of cold, shivering as long as a little wind blew into the house.

The wind was howling outside, and Ju Changhuan looked at the window, but the window was closed. She also wanted to see the scenery outside, but it was too cold to open the window, so she could only sigh helplessly.

"It's so cold...... she couldn't help but think of the Dou Yi room in Meiziwu, "I don't know if the charcoal fire and bedding on my sister's side are enough......

"Madam, please rest assured, the slave maid heard that the concubine specially sent two carts of materials a few days ago."

Hearing her say this, Ju Changhuan was relieved.

"This weather, I don't know when it will pass...... Ju Changhuan sighed again.

At night, the wind was stronger, and the snow was not heard.

Although the doors and windows were closed, there was still a cold wind that could blow in. Ju Changhuan still felt cold under the quilt and couldn't sleep. So she had all the cracks between the doors and windows sealed with cloth.

There were five stoves in the bedroom, and when it finally warmed up, she gradually fell asleep.

Lan Yu waited closely, and when she saw that she was asleep, she also put on a blanket and sat at the coffee table, and fell asleep after a while.

In the early morning of the next day, two palace maids came to wake Ju Changhuan, and when they knocked on the door, no one answered. It stands to reason that Lan Yu, who is in charge of taking care of Ju Changhuan at this time, should come to open the door.

The two palace maids glanced at each other, and they were already a little uneasy in their hearts. They continued to knock on the door, and the shouting gradually became louder, which attracted other palace people.

"Ma'am? Madame, open the door......"

The crowd screamed a few more times, but the door still did not open.

After deliberation, everyone unanimously decided to bang on the door.

With a bang, the door opened, and a puff of heat poured out.

The room felt stuffy, the air seemed to have frozen, and the light was dim.

"Ma'am?"

The palace people called tentatively as they walked into the house. The stove placed in the middle of the house was burned with charcoals.

"Lan Yu!" Someone shouted.

Lan Yu was draped in a blanket and lay on the coffee table.

"Lan Yu, wake up......" The palace maid tried to push Lan Yu, but Lan Yu didn't move. After increasing his strength a little, Lan Yu actually fell from the chair to the ground.

"Lan Yu!" The maid exclaimed.

Someone realized that they should go to check on Ju Changhuan's condition immediately, so they hurried to the bedside.

There are three stoves next to the bed, which shows how afraid Ju Changhuan is of the cold.

Ju Changhuan was lying on the bed, no different from falling asleep, but her face was very, very pale.

The palace people were frightened, told her that she should not, and pushed her so that she would not wake up.

A slightly bolder palace man stretched out his index finger to probe her snort, and immediately sat down on the ground in fright, looking terrified.

"What's wrong?"

"Quick...... Find a doctor ......."

……

The wind and snow that had raged all night had stopped, and the sun peeked out of the clouds, casting warm rays. However, the people in the Yongchun Palace were still shrouded in bitter cold.

This cold is not outside the body, but in the heart, the blood flowing from the atrium seems to be about to freeze.

Everyone's face was solemn, and the hall was surprisingly quiet, and he didn't even dare to make a loud noise when he walked.

"The concubine has arrived—"

The palace people and the imperial doctors knelt down and bowed together, and they were also silent.

The concubine immediately understood the situation, her body shook like withered grass in the wind, and the grandmother beside her hurriedly helped her steady.

"Concubine, sit down first! ……”

"No, the mourning family wants to see Mrs. Ju......"

Mama had to help her into the room.

Looking at Ju Changhuan on the bed, the concubine was grief-stricken, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "God, why are you so ruthless to my palace!" After speaking, he burst into tears and cried heartbroken until he fell into a coma.

The imperial doctor next to him immediately came up to treat him, but fortunately, there was no major problem, and everyone sent the concubine to the side hall to rest.

After a while, Liu Heng also came.

He walked fast, oblivious to the person in front of him, and walked straight into the inner room. When he saw Ju Changhuan, his feet seemed to be frozen, and he didn't dare to move forward.

for he was ashamed in his heart.

"All of you go out......"

The palace people all retreated, and Liu Heng took heavy steps and came to the bedside.

Ju Changhuan is still so beautiful, but her complexion is a little whiter......

Her hair was a little messy, Liu Heng gently brushed the green silk to her ears and temples, and couldn't help it, Ju Changhuan's smile came spontaneously in his mind.

Ju Changhuan in front of him actually became blurry, closed his eyes tightly, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks.

Liu Heng stretched out his hands, hugged Ju Changhuan in his arms, hugged him tightly, and repeatedly blamed himself in his heart.

If he had been a little nicer to Ju Changhuan, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened...... If...... It's a pity that there is no what if......

In the side hall, the concubine slowly opened her eyes, and what entered her eyes was her son's relieved smile.

"Mother, you woke up......"

The concubine suddenly clenched Liu Heng's hand, and said in a panic: "Quick, send someone to Meiziwu to tell Yifang that she must pay attention when she uses charcoal!" ”

"Son, go now."

Liu Heng got up, went outside to give instructions to Wanquan, and then walked in again.

The concubine remembered Ju Changhuan's corpse and two lives, and suddenly felt grief, and tears flowed down again.

Liu Heng returned to her side, comforted her with kind words, and persuaded her to tears for a long time.

Now, there is one less concubine in the palace, and the draft is put on the agenda by the concubine again.

Liu Heng is still grieving for Ju Changhuan's death and has no interest in the draft. But in order not to make the concubine even more sad, she agreed.

Coincidentally, two days later, a holy decree came from the Han Palace, talking about the delivery of family members.

It was common for the Han Palace to send family members to the vassal kings, ostensibly to show compassion to the subordinates, but in fact to spy on the vassal kings. The vassal kings all understood the obscurity, but they didn't say it, and they didn't dare not accept it.

But the vassal kings are not stupid, and they will be more wary of the family members sent by the Han Palace, and do not let them cultivate power in the court.

After a long time, these family members who have become mothers have not sent information back for a long time, and the Han Palace has no expectations for them, thinking that they have been left out in the cold, so they are sent to the new family members.

This is also the fundamental reason why some concubines in the palace will reject the concubines from the Han Palace, many of whom wait for the acquiescence of the concubine or the king.

The family members who have become mothers often end up turning to the king, but most of them have been left out in the cold. Mrs. Jane is an example of this.

At the beginning, she came to the Dai Palace with the order of the Empress Dowager Lu, although she was favored by Liu Heng for a while, but it was just Liu Heng's play, and then she was quickly left out in the cold.

When Dou Yifang and the others arrived, she knew that her mission was over. But when she wanted to treat Liu Heng wholeheartedly, she found that Liu Heng's heart was no longer in her.

Compared with other feudal lands, Daidi is good, if it is in other places, most of those outdated mothers with Han Palace background are placed in the cold palace, and the king is never seen again.

"This time, the Han Palace only sent two family members......" the concubine said, "I hope they are like Dou Yifang, and the five of them will be fine......"

At the mention of Dou Yifang, Liu Heng's brows furrowed, and his mouth was a little bitter.

"In addition to the family sent by the Han Palace, after the beginning of spring, we will also select some women to come in, which can be regarded as a rush to this year's bad luck."

"But it's up to the concubine to decide."

"Okay, the mourning family is also tired, so you can retreat first! ……”

Liu Heng bowed his head and withdrew.

Wanquan had been waiting outside the hall, Liu Heng saw him, remembered that he had just been to Meiziwu, so he asked about the situation in Dou Yi's room, and his tone was hesitant, maybe he also felt embarrassed!!

Wanquan told him that everything was fine in Dou Yifang's Meiziwu, but he was a little suspicious of the sudden reminder and asked if there was an accident in the palace.

"And you told her?"

"No, the slave remembered that the concubine wanted Dou Fu...... Yifang raised the fetus with peace of mind, so he didn't tell her! ”

Liu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease. He knew very well that Dou Yifang knew how much of a blow Ju Changhuan would receive when he died, so it was best not to tell Dou Yifang.
