Li Xuanyin didn't notice his abnormality, and said with a smile: "It's my newly sealed noble concubine." Then he said to Wanfu, "That's how the eleventh brother is like this. If you don't feel well, I'll have someone prepare Luan Yu and send you back. ”

Wanfu pursed her lips and nodded her head.

Wanfu went down the imperial steps, Li Xuanzhao looked at that face, which coincided more and more with his memory, clenched his palms suddenly, and couldn't help but call out, "Concubine Ling is ...... Yuyao people's clan? ”

Wan Fu stopped suddenly, clenched her sleeves, exhaled lightly, and raised her eyebrows lightly, "The concubine's father is Ning Guogong, and his grandfather lives in Yuezhou, I don't know why the prince said this?" ”

Li Xuanzhao was sure that he would not admit his mistake, but when he saw the jade jade between the woman's hair and temples, he instantly sobered up, a trace of bitterness crossed his eyes, closed his eyes, and finally lowered his head respectfully, "I just think that your concubine is like Xiao Wang's former old friend, and Xiao Wang has recognized the wrong person." ”

After the imperial case, Li Xuanyin pulled the white jade wrench, looked at the two of them casually, and squinted his eyes lightly, as if he was thinking.

Chapter 72

The victory of the king of northern Henan is supposed to be a thing to be happy about, but Chen Dehai looked at the emperor's face, which was not like Dayue's expression.

The hall was cleaned, and he cautiously stepped forward to serve tea, "Your Majesty, do you want the servants to pass the meal?"

Li Xuanyin paused slightly, and glanced at him coldly.

It was this glance that frightened Chen Dehai's neck, and he didn't understand why the emperor was so angry.

Li Xuanyin leaned back in the chair, his fingertips lightly clasped the imperial case, he looked at the half-ground inkstone, and his face sank, "Go and check the life history of the noble concubine." ”

……

Zhaoyang Palace

Qian Dai rewarded Luan Yu's chamberlain with money, and helped Wanfu into the Qianyun Palace.

When she returned to the dormitory, all the disguised smiles on Wanfu's face faded, and she sat down on the bed in a daze, and came back to her senses, touched her face, and looked at Qiandai, "Am I okay now?" ”

Qian Dai pinched the handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of Wanfu's eyes in distress.

"The master has suffered from the wind and cold, and it is inevitable that he will be haggard."

Wanfu lowered her eyes, and after a while, she reluctantly smiled, "It's noon, go and see how Qiu Chi hasn't come back from lunch yet!"

Qian Dai's eyes pressed out tears, she turned her face away, wiped away the tears, and withdrew from the hall in response.

Qian Dai left, Wanfu lowered her eyes, and the smile gradually disappeared.

The emperor was suspicious, and the king of northern Henan asked a question, and it was impossible for the emperor not to be suspicious.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the Shangyuan Festival, and these days, the emperor was busy with government affairs and never entered the harem again.

Chen Dehai waited in front of the emperor, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. When he came in, the emperor's temper was getting bigger and bigger, and yesterday there was a big fire, which frightened him so much that he knelt on the ground for half an hour. In his heart, he was thinking about inviting Concubine Ling again, but the emperor saw through his thoughts and reprimanded him coldly, "If you go and invite her again, you won't have to serve in Qiankun Palace." ”

Chen Dehai's body trembled, and he heard that the emperor was serious this time. Only then did he realize that in the past, he was able to invite Ling Gui and Concubine, but the emperor acquiesced in his doing. The emperor really doesn't want to see anyone, but he doesn't see anyone.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Wanfu put on a lot of makeup and picked out an inconspicuous indigo silver thread palace dress.

For state banquets, officials of the fourth rank or above can be listed. At this time, Concubine Zhuang will attend.

Concubine Zhuang held Wanfu's hand, looked at her, and frowned slightly, "What's wrong with you lately?" Why are you so emaciated? ”

Wanfu clenched her veil, quickly lost her expression, and with a trace of resentment on her face, she said coquettishly: "It's not that Zhaoyang Palace is too deserted, I live alone, it's really boring." ”

Concubine Zhuang did not doubt him, and her fingertips tapped Wanfu's eyebrows, helplessly, "The lord of the first palace, such an honor, others can't ask for it, so you will be squeamish." ”

The two went to the Jianzhang Palace where the banquet was held.

Wanfu is now a noble concubine, and her seat should be at the front. After taking her seat, she immediately noticed the seat of the prince who was close to the throne. She clenched her palms, knowing that she couldn't walk now, she had to sit here. The emperor was suspicious, and she deliberately avoided it, but she was even more suspicious.

As the sun wore on, the ministers invited to the palace banquet entered in groups of threes and threes.

Among the crowd, a man in a dark purple moire round-necked robe did not participate in the conversation, his eyelids lowered, as if he were extremely tired, and his eyes were covered with a layer of dust. After taking his seat, the palace people poured wine for him, and when he shook the wine cup, he raised his eyes, and saw the woman in the position of the noble concubine at the next place.

She was a little brighter than she was that day. The indigo silver thread of the palace skirt seemed to be worn on her body, and the golden silk flowers served as a foil in front of her.

Li Xuanzhao lost his mind for a moment, this is the woman he has been looking for for three whole years, he has searched everywhere in Yuyao, it is ridiculous, she actually entered the palace and became the concubine of the imperial brother.

As the little eunuch screamed and the emperor entered the palace, Li Xuanzhao quickly gathered his eyes, got up and knelt on the ground, and respectfully saluted the emperor's power.

At the beginning of the banquet, Chen Dehai waited by his side, only feeling that the emperor's face was even more terrible today than a few days ago.

Li Xuanyin twisted his fingers and looked at the woman sitting at the bottom without a trace. She was indeed well-behaved today, and she had been sitting in a proper manner, without even looking up. In the end, it is a deliberate attempt to avoid suspicion, or something else.

He pursed his thin lips slightly, and he was bored with the singing and dancing of this accustomed servant.

After the three rounds of the banquet, the palace people came to pour wine, and a note fell on the case. Wanfu was slightly stunned, picked it up quietly, twisted it in the palm of her hand and slowly unfolded it, and when she saw the handwriting on it, she finally couldn't help but drop a teardrop, looked at the high position quietly, and quietly withdrew from the hall.

Leaving Jianzhang Palace, Wanfu's footsteps became faster and faster, she clutched the rice paper, excited, joyful, and full of feelings. Uncle Xiao has not heard from him for a long time. She had sent someone to inquire secretly, but no result had been reached.

It turned out that the little uncle actually asked the emperor for help and followed the king of northern Henan to Guangyue to quell the rebellion. She couldn't imagine that the noble son who recruited cats and teased dogs at the beginning had become the general of today's bloody battlefield. Wanfu couldn't come back to her senses for a while, she walked around Lanyue Lake, but she didn't go long until someone stopped her from behind.

"Little Seven!"

Wanfu paused in her heart, pinched the note and stood stiffly in place, the long-lost title made her a little distracted, and the golden silk treasure flower hairpin fell to the ground with her movements, and with a click, two gold beads were missing.

She took a deep breath, turned around, and lifted her eyes coldly, "The prince has recognized the wrong person." ”

"No, I'm not mistaken."

Li Xuanzhao clutched the sachet that had been white and faded over the years, and laughed at himself, "Why? ”

"I've been waiting for you in Yuyao for three months, why don't you come?"

Hearing this, a tear soon rolled out of Wanfu's eyes, she turned away, straightened her back, her eyes gradually cleared, and said calmly: "Why does the prince ask? If the prince had checked the Ningguo Mansion and the Yufu Manmen, where I was buried far away in Yuezhou, he would have known why I had entered this deep palace. ”

Li Xuanzhao was stunned for a moment, his finger bones clenching the sachet turned pale, and his eyes were surging with deep grief and resentment.

He had indeed checked the Ningguo Mansion and knew what had happened to her over the years, and because of this, he was almost sleepless at night, and he was the emperor's most trusted minister, and it was easy to help her get revenge. It's just those days that are missing, and it's those days that make him miss the woman he likes the most.

I don't know when the snow fell in the sky, and pieces of snowflakes fell on Wanfu's eyebrows, and she had been out for too long, and the emperor would only increase his suspicion when he saw that he was not there. Wanfu frowned, "It's time for the prince to go back." ”

Li Xuanzhao heard the coldness in her words, he closed his eyes, took a step back, and deliberately avoided her, "Don't worry, your concubine, Lord Chen and I can talk about the Guangyue war for as long as possible. ”

At this time, Qiu Chi came from afar, approached, panting and stroking his chest, shocked, "Master, something happened, little prince...... The little prince is gone! ”

……

Wanfu left Jianzhang Palace early, and the letter she got later, rushing to Qiushui Pavilion at this time will definitely attract people's attention. She sorted out her clues, Concubine Zhuang and Wen Xiurong both attended the palace banquet today, who else could testify for her.

"Liang Wanyi."

Wanfu muttered.

"What did the master say?" Qian Dai saw the thin sweat on her master's forehead, and worriedly pinched her handkerchief to wipe it off. Wan Fu grabbed her hand and thought, "Go to Fanhuaxuan and invite Liang Wanyi." ”

Liang Wanyi is a country woman, and she has never liked to participate in this kind of palace banquet, but she doesn't know if she is willing to help herself.

As soon as Wanfu's words fell, a person came from afar, Liang Wanyi's eyebrows and eyes were dripping with sweat, and when she saw Wanfu's eyes, she was overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward to take Wanfu's hand, complaining: "Why did you come here?" It's easy to find me. ”

Wanfu was confused, and her familiar intimate scalp was numb.

"Why is Liang Wanyi looking for me?"

"Help you be a witness!" Liang Wanyi replied briskly. Reaching out and pinching Wanfu's soft face, she looked at it carefully, "It is worthy of his own niece, and it is indeed a little similar." ”

Wanfu looked at her with sloppy eyes, "Liang Wanyi is talking about ......"

"Yu Jinzhi." Liang Wanyi grabbed her, quickened her pace, and said in a low voice as she walked: "I owe him an adult favor, he sent me a message, I was afraid that you would have an accident in the bamboo forest, so he asked me to come and watch you." ”

"He's treating your little niece well, but this is the first time he's begging me, so we'll be settled."

Wanfu heard in a fog when her little uncle had something to do with Liang Wanyi, but it was okay, she didn't have to bother to explain to Liang Wanyi.

……

At this time, the autumn water pavilion was in chaos, and the palace maid and nurse who were waiting for the little prince knelt tremblingly outside the hall, and the cold sweat on her neck fell to the ground one by one on a cold day, smearing a water stain.

The concubines who attended the palace banquet all rushed to Qiushui Pavilion, and everyone looked at each other, but they did not see the noble concubine. People with a heart couldn't help but feel weird, such a big thing, it is impossible for Concubine Ling not to get the letter, but why hasn't it been delayed?

I don't know who mentioned a sentence about the noble concubine who never appeared, and some people seemed to be surprised and suspicious, "Could it be that you are a thief?" ”

"Chen Changzai said cautiously, he couldn't hide from the fifteenth day of the first day of the new year, and the noble concubine was not Chen Changzai, how could he be so stupid and stupid to attack the little prince."

Wen Xiurong opened his mouth coldly, choking Chen Changzai and couldn't say a word. Who in the harem doesn't know that Wen Xiurong is friendly with Ling Gui Concubine, Ling Gui Concubine is favored, Wen Xiurong is honored, Wen Xiurong raises the little princess, and it is also the biggest reliance in the harem.

With Chen Chang in this budding bird, the outer hall was quiet, and no one wanted to confront Wen Xiurong.

Li Xuanyin came out of the inner hall, pinched his fingers, and coldly swept towards the harem concubines who were standing. He didn't care about the open and secret battles in the harem, but there were always people who were lucky and stretched out their hands to the dragon heir.

As the master of the harem, the queen stepped forward with a worried face, "Your Majesty, the little prince ......."

Imperial Physician He followed the emperor out, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and secretly sighed that such unfortunate things always came his turn, he bowed his head and said: "Master Xu was extremely difficult when he gave birth, and the little prince was born with a weak body, so he had to recuperate slowly. It is not allowed to eat things that are hot and cold, and the minister found almond cake in the vomit of the little prince, which caused the little prince to be paralyzed in breath and die of breathlessness. ”

"Your Majesty! The concubine begged the emperor to find out the real culprit, and the person who did it behind the scenes must be severely punished, and the concubine begged the emperor! Xu Wanyi was not out of confinement, she was supported by someone, and knelt down in front of Li Xuanyin, crying heartbreakingly, out of breath, "The concubine's Yi'er is so young, she hasn't shouted her father and mother yet, how vicious that person's mind is, and how he can't bear to take Yi'er's life!" ”

"The concubine begs the emperor to find out the real culprit and avenge Yi'er!"

Li Xuanyin clenched the jade ring, the green tendons on the back of his hand were bulging, his face sank, and he said coldly, "Help Xu Wanyi back to the dormitory." ”

Wanfu entered the Qiushui Pavilion at this time, Xu Wanyi was originally helped up, and when she saw the woman who had just come in, she didn't know what stimulation she was in, and struggled to rush towards Wanfu, "You hurt my Yi'er!" You were jealous of me competing with you for favor several times, so you made a ruthless attempt to harm my Yi'er! Yi'er is so young, how can you bear to harm him with such vicious means, pity my Yi'er......"

Xu Wanyi whimpered and cried, I don't know where the strength came from, desperately hit Wanfu, Wanfu was caught off guard, her breathing was stagnant, Liang Wanyi's eyes were fast, and she protected Wanfu behind her, and hurriedly avoided this crazy woman.

"Xu Wanyi is reasonable, Concubine Ling has always been with me, where is the opportunity to harm the little prince?"

Everyone knows that Liang Wanyi saved the emperor and is a special existence in the harem. In the first few years when Liang Wanyi entered the palace, it was not that no one had targeted her, but Liang Wanyi never competed for favor and almost never slept with her, and this targeting gradually became boring. What's more, Liang Wanyi's temperament is really vulgar and pungent, even if she is as domineering as Concubine Zhao, she has no way to treat Liang Wanyi.

Xu Wanyi cried bitterly, "Who else could it be if it wasn't you?" Before I gave birth to the prince, the emperor's favorite was you, have you never been jealous that I gave birth to Yi'er, and have you never been jealous of the emperor's favor for me! ”

Liang Wanyi looked at her coldly, without showing weakness, "It's really crazy, I shouted without checking the facts, and the dignified noble girl is not as good as me, a country woman!" ”

"Jiang Wanfu, you give Yi'er back to me!" Xu Wanyi struggled to pounce on Wanfu again, but the two palace people struggled to hold Xu Wanyi.

When things came to this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the emperor.

Wanfu looked at Li Xuanyin quietly, touched the man's sight, hid behind Liang Wanyi, raised her eyes slightly, bit her lip lightly, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be dropped.

Li Xuanyin saw the grievances of that woman clearly, there were so many concubines in the harem, because she was favored by her low position, because she was born as a palace maid, and because she had no children, everyone thought she was easy to bully, and they would only rush all the resentment in their hearts to her.

He opened his eyes, his face was pale, "Didn't you hear my words, help Xu Wanyi to go to the dormitory!" ”

This sentence, I don't know if it's for the sake of Xu Wanyi's body, or for the partiality of Concubine Ling.
