Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Helper
This thing is very important, after honeysuckle returned to Yaohua Palace, he immediately hid it properly, and now in addition to her in the inner hall, there is one more cloud falling in to serve, and Lianxiang is also considered interesting, only when Shen Qingjiao needs to drink the decoction, he enters the inner hall, and on weekdays, he has nothing to do outside the hall to serve.
The peaceful atmosphere in the imperial city for several months was finally broken, and the miscarriage of Concubine Xian was like a lingering haze over everyone's heads, Concubine Xian did not go to Fengluan Palace for half a month to ask the queen for peace, and lay in Chonghua Palace every day to recuperate, on the same day, Concubine Xian woke up, and the heart-rending cry penetrated the sky, which also made the harem concubines feel cold, they could not understand what kind of pain the loss of a son brought to Concubine Xian, but they still sympathized with her, just because they were women.
During this period, the palace people in Chonghua Palace, everyone was in danger, afraid that the moody concubine after the miscarriage would spread her anger on herself, and she didn't dare to come out on weekdays, walking with a cat against the root of the wall, during this period, Li Yun, who was the palace maid of the concubine, was also slapped by the concubine, but even with a red and swollen face, Li Yun would only cry when Lu Zhaoyi comforted her for a moment or two.
"Zhaoyi Niangniang, the slave maid now knows what it means to be cold and warm, in this palace, since the mother gave birth, except for you who often come to visit, the rest of the people can't even see a trace, even the saint... It also came very rarely. The slave maid was really uncomfortable in her heart, and when she saw our mother washing her face with tears every day, she really didn't know what to persuade her mother. The back of Liyun's hand was flushed, and at a glance, she knew that she was burned by tea, and Concubine Xian was angry at every turn now, and Liyun couldn't say if she was bitter.
Lu Zhaoyi led her down the corridor and comforted: "What Concubine Xian Niangniang is experiencing now is what this palace has experienced before, you don't complain, don't hate, the rudder in the palace is not only applicable to palace people, but also to concubines, this palace comes to see Concubine Xian Niangniang more, talk to her more, you go." ”
Li Yun sighed gloomily and said: "Don't hide it from you, our mother just lost her temper and dropped the decoction, and the slave maid can't do anything for her except for two sentences." ”
"You don't have to do anything, and you will still be inseparable from you." Lu Zhaoyi smiled slightly and said, "This palace went to persuade Concubine Xian, you went to cook the decoction again." ”
Li Yun hurriedly sighed and pushed the door of the inner hall for Lu Zhaoyi.
Inside the inner hall, several hundred-lattice windows were all covered with green gauze tents in front of the light, obviously the sun was blazing outside, but it was hazy in front of him, Lu Zhaoyi closed his eyes, and it took a long time to adapt to the light in the hall, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of bitter medicine.
In front of the bed, the ice in the ice tank continued to exude coldness because the sunlight could not penetrate it, but Concubine Xian was still wrapped in a thin blanket, her eyes were full of mockery, and she stabbed at the visitor: "Lu Zhaoyi, this palace was not good with you in the past, you come to Chonghua Palace from time to time, but do you really visit this palace?" If it's sincere, I'll finish reading it, go back early, and the palace won't send it. ” 𝙢.🅅𝙤🄳🅃𝓦.𝙘𝕆𝕄
A shallow smile appeared in Lu Zhaoyi's eyes, she didn't care about the attitude of the virtuous concubine, and sat on the embroidered pier in front of the bed: "The concubine comes to see Niangniang every day to confirm how your body is doing." If it's good, then the concubine will be able to rest assured that she will be able to tell you something. ”
"Say what?" The disgust and hideousness under Concubine Xian's distorted face seemed to stretch out her hands and feet, and she wanted to peel off a layer of skin, and opened her teeth and claws at Lu Zhaoyi: "Hmph, do you want to say that the queen is proud after giving birth in this palace?" Or do you people secretly ridicule this palace when they see that the palace is now down? Say, what is Hongu afraid of? No matter what, this palace is also a virtuous concubine. ”
"The concubine never wanted to ridicule you." Lu Zhaoyi was concerned, shaking the fan, but the wind from the fan couldn't shake off the blood mist that suddenly appeared in front of her, which should be the blood-red plum that bloomed under her body when she had a miscarriage that day.
The hatred in Lu Zhaoyi's heart slowly gave birth to barbs, pulling at her heart at once, and she said slowly: "As for the queen mother, she is invited by the concubines every day, and indirectly mentions your miscarriage, and there is still a wanton smile on her face, she is the queen mother, who will stop her." The concubine came today to say to you that if you are depressed, not only will you not be able to avenge the hatred of your children, but you will also make the murderer happy and happy. Concubine Xian, are you willing to accept such a fact? ”
"What do you mean by that?" When Concubine Xian saw Lu Zhaoyi mention her lost child, her breathing suddenly suffocated, and even her soft body re-infused her strength, so she could straighten up, and the corners of her eyes that had not yet put on makeup threw out a gust of wind: "Do you know anything?" I know the children of this palace, how did I not have them? ”
"The concubine originally thought that Niangniang might care about the saint, but the concubine had just entered the inner hall until now, but she didn't see Niangniang talking about the first half of the saint, and the concubine wanted to ask Niangniang, does Niangniang love the saint?" Lu Zhaoyi didn't answer, but instead she suddenly changed the topic and asked if there was any.
Concubine Xian frowned a little puzzled, she glanced at Lu Zhaoyi from top to bottom, Lu Zhaoyi did not deliberately dress up today, let alone wear red and green, and even a palace dress was chosen in cyan, just like she hurriedly glanced out of the window on the day of her miscarriage, and the gray sky was over.
Concubine Xian thought for a while, and said with a sneer: "Is this palace very important to the affection of the saint?" Is it worth asking deliberately? ”
"Of course." Lu Zhaoyi replied fixedly.
Concubine Xian was even more suspicious of Lu Zhaoyi's ulterior motives, but the words thrown by Lu Zhaoyi last moment really couldn't make her feel at ease, and after thinking about it for a long time, Concubine Xian's straight back suddenly relaxed, pulled the thin blanket on her body, and said with a sneer: "When this palace entered the palace, it was not as good as the queen, she was still a milky hairy girl, when she was at home, the mother of this palace had already analyzed the pros and cons to this palace, and in the harem, of course, grace is more important, even if it has been going on for many years, this palace has a little affection for the saint, But this palace also knows why the saint wanted this palace to enter the palace in the first place, not for love, but for weighing. ”
"This palace is not stupid, knowing that after conceiving a dragon son, it will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the queen, but the grace of the saint is too slim, and the palace doesn't even know whether the saint has a little affection for the palace in those days when he favored the palace! Therefore, with the prince, it is the right reason. ”
Concubine Xian glanced at Lu Zhaoyi, and the mockery in her eyes was even worse: "This palace has told you so much, just for the sake of you to reveal one or two, in fact, who harmed this palace, this palace is clear." The womb in this palace is a male fetus, which is the dream of our queen mother, and I wish I could grow in the queen's womb! On the same day, the queen mother's words made the palace a confused person, how could her vicious thoughts not know that the palace had a miscarriage and could not give birth to children. What a ruthless heart! What a ruthless heart, this is life
