Chapter 10: The Concubine
"But the queen mother's phoenix body is important, you should rest first, the slave maid went to send them."
"It's okay to mourn home." Rong Yan shook her head and told Yingxue to prepare some things and ask the other palace maids to serve her in grooming.
After Su Wan'er saw Rong Yan, the four of them saluted her, and then cared about Rong Yan's phoenix body, which explained their intentions, "The concubines came today to bid farewell to the Queen Mother." β
Rong Yan sat on the main seat, took a cup of tea from Yingxue, just took a sip, and raised her eyes to look at Su Wan'er and the four of them in surprise, "The regent ordered you to leave the palace?" β
"Yes, the Queen Mother, the regent has placed us in the regent's palace, and we will be the regent's concubines from now on."
Rong Yan is always luxurious and gorgeous in makeup and clothing, and she has never shown her true side in the harem, which makes people feel independent and elegant.
But at this moment, no matter how good the fat powder is, it can't cover her sick appearance, and in such a comparison, it seems that the four Su Wan'er who have been nourished by men are radiant and charming.
"It's fine." Rong Yan asked with sideways eyes.
Yingxue attached to her ear and said that Helian Qi had Zhao Su Wan'er and the four of them go over these three nights, and they didn't send them back until dawn.
Rong Yan looked calm after hearing this, and sure enough, there has been no man in the past who does not want to have three wives and four concubines.
Even if she once said that no matter what happens in the future, she will never take a concubine, and Helian Qi, who has been with her for the rest of her life, is no exception.
"In the future, you will serve around the regent, and it will be easier for you to bring information to the mourning family, and the mourning family will find someone to contact you regularly." Rong Yan gave Ying Xue a look.
Soon the palace maid brought four bowls of freshly boiled soup to avoid children, the meaning was obvious, spies could not give birth to children.
Otherwise, with the bond of flesh and blood, Su Wan'er and the others will betray their master Rong Yan in the future and take their child's father, Helian Qi, as the sky.
"The Queen Mother forgive me." Su Wan'er didn't drink the duck soup, and knelt down with the other three, but her words were not as respectful as before, but a little disobedient.
"After the regent pampered the four of Wan'er for three nights in a row, he did not give Wan'er four people a soup to avoid children, but allowed the four of Wan'er to give birth to an heir."
Rong Yan's face gradually turned cold, and she listened to Su Wan'er, who had changed her name, and continued: "The four of Wan'er can't stand the Queen Mother, we, we all like the regent very much, and it is the regent who makes us experience the happiness of being a woman......
Su Wan'er's cheeks were dyed crimson when she said this, and her expression was vague with an aftertaste, and Rong Yan knew that these four people were conquered by Helian Qi in that aspect.
Yes, a man like him, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, has amazing physical strength and skills.
As long as he was pampered once, the women wanted to be happy with him day and night.
Just like the four of Su Wan'er at this moment, they even betrayed Rong Yan, who was kind to them.
Helian Qi is a good method, Rong Yan smiled coldly in her heart.
Helian Qi knew that Su Wan'er and the four of them did not want to bear the emptiness and loneliness of the palace and die of old age without nourishment and children, so he let them taste the joy of fish and water, and gave them a good home.
So of course, they turned their backs on her and Helian Yi, the two orphans and widows, and chose Helian Qi.
Helian Qi did it on purpose, letting her know how naΓ―ve and self-conscious she was, and she couldn't fight him at all, so she trampled her on the soles of her feet.
But is she really working in vain?
Rong Yan doesn't think so.
"The four of Wan'er will not be the eyeliner that the Queen Mother placed next to the regent, and the Queen Mother is weak, Wan'er's clansmen can only choose to be loyal to the regent for a long time in the future......"
In Su Wan'er's words, she only heard a sound of "crackling", and it was Rong Yan who slammed the tea cup in her hand.
The tea cup fell to pieces on the ground, and when the tea splashed on the skirts of Su Wan'er and the four, they trembled and raised their eyes to look at Rong Yan.
"In the past, when the mourning family was the queen, I always regarded you as sisters, and I think why should women be embarrassed by women, in the harem, which is a place full of crises, we should not compete for a man, living in harmony and supporting each other is the way to survive." Rong Yan's mood has been very stable in the past five years, and her throat was injured in the fire in the Regent's Mansion that night, and she was no longer delicate and crisp, but soft and light.
Only at this moment, there was a chill in her tone, and her eyes looked at Su Wan'er and the four of them who were kneeling on the ground with pale faces in awe, "But this kindness of the mourning family has created a perception that the mourning family is weak and can be easily betrayed!" β
"That being the case, today the mourning family will let you know whether the mourning family can be betrayed and betrayed the mourning family!"
Several strong grandmothers came in and held down Su Wan'er and the four of them, forcibly poured the shunzi soup into it, and stuck the jaws of the four of them.
Amid the screams of resistance from the four, Mama shoved the brown pill into their mouths.
Soon, Su Wan'er's internal organs and six organs were eroded by the poison, and they rolled on the ground and screamed in pain.
They wailed and crawled to Rong Yan's side, hugged Rong Yan's legs and cried and begged, "Queen Mother, we were wrong, please spare our lives......"
"This poison will attack every other month, as long as you are obedient, the mourning family will order someone to send the antidote regularly." Rong Yan lowered her eyes and looked at Su Wan'er and the four of them expressionlessly.
"The mourning family can use a bowl of medicine to make you lose the opportunity to give birth and be a mother, but the mourning family has the last pity for you and can't bear to do that, you go to the regent palace, and after every time you are pampered, you consciously drink the soup of avoiding children."
Rong Yan did not give Su Wan'er the four of them an antidote for the time being, let them bear the torment and pain of not being able to survive but not death, and sent them back to explain that Mama would give them the antidote tomorrow.

A few days later, Rong Yan recovered, sat on the bed and drank the decoction, and asked Yingxue, "Is the regent handling government affairs in the Liangyi Palace now?" β
Ying Xue knew that she had to pay attention to Helian Qi's movements, so when Rong Yan asked, she could answer immediately, "Su Wan'er and the four of them were sent to the Regent's Mansion, and the Regent returned to the Mansion early today. β
Rong Yan didn't let Yingxue feed her, took the medicine bowl, and drank it all without frowning, "I can't wait so much, I don't even care about the government, but it's understandable that he has fun with the newcomer, and he will get tired of spoiling him for a few days." β
If Helian Qi is obsessed with women and ignores the government, it will be a good thing for her.
Because in this way, it is easier for her to seize the imperial power for her son.
Ying Xue gave the candied fruit to Rong Yan and sighed, "Where there are people, there will be fights, especially the women in the backyard are always jealous of men, and I am afraid that this regent mansion will be lively in the future." β
Rong Yan's heart shook violently, her already pale face instantly faded all the blood, and she pushed away the candied fruit with pain in her eyes, and the fire in the Regent's Mansion appeared in front of her eyes, and the struggle and cries for help of the people in the mansion were the source of her nightmare.
