Chunman Palace

Chapter 56 Fall Out of Favor
Lin Qingyu was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, and after wandering around for half a circle, she secretly left the team and went to find a secluded place. She saw a few eunuchs walking out of one place wet from a distance, and her heart was full of alarm bells, and she stepped up to that place Fu Quchi ran away.

After walking a few steps, I saw a court lady fell down by the pool, and when I got closer, it turned out to be Huayue.

Mo'er and Lingqiao were completely pale from fright, they were stunned numbly.

And the bright red color in the pool is slowly soaking into the pool water.

Lin Qingyu's face was pale, and she almost fell down. She pinched her arms to keep herself calm, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Mo'er, Lingqiao, find someone quickly! Go!"

When Mu Pingting opened her eyes, she saw Xuan Yin sitting beside her in grief, holding her hand tightly.

"Your Majesty..." The moment she saw Xuan Yin, her heart relaxed, her tear glands lost their hold, and tears fell down.

Xuan Yin was mixed with grief and joy, with complex emotions in his eyes, he said in a hoarse voice: "Yue'er, you're awake..."

Concubine Lan looked at Mu Pingting sadly with a sad face, but she didn't say a word, she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would break down and cry before Mu Pingting.

"My sister has been in a coma for two days and two nights. The imperial doctor said that if she doesn't wake up today, she will..." Lin Qingyu's eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't know how many tears she shed before.

She glanced at Lin Qingyu, and suddenly felt as if she had been separated from her life, all the strength in her body seemed to be pulled away, and infinite sadness and pain spread all over her body.Grief mixed with emotion and sourness in her heart, she knew that there was another person in the harem who was so sad for her.

There seemed to be cold and sharp fragments cutting her throat between her breaths, and the dryness of the pain brought her back to consciousness, her throat seemed to be choking on cotton, and she asked with difficulty, "Your Majesty... where is our child?"

Xuan Yin's lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say a word, his eyes were full of pity and sadness, such eyes made Mu Pingting understand something in an instant.

Fear swept her whole body, she was terrified, and tremblingly put her fingers on her belly, the belly that should have been swollen had returned to a flat shape, and her spirit collapsed in an instant, she opened her mouth, let out a discouraged lament, and wept silently .

The bedroom was instantly filled with a sad atmosphere.

Sorrowful and sour, her nasal cavity opened for a moment, and she clearly smelled the faint blood from her body. The dark red flood caught her sight for a moment, and frantically turned in her brain, a bright red picture that should not have appeared in her memory , covering in front of the eyes layer by layer.

Lady Ling raised her hand and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and sobbed, "Your Majesty Jin, it's a good thing you're not like my sister and me, you have to take care of yourself, there will still be some in the future."

Her fingers froze, she sat up frightened by the beauty in front of her eyes, the momentary heartbreak was about to drive her crazy, she threw herself into Xuan Yin's arms in grief, tightly clutching Xuan Yin's arm, This is her only comfort and support.

Xuan Yin hugged her tightly, his eyes were dim, and he gently stroked her hair to comfort her.

His eyes were full of pity, and there seemed to be unspeakable pain in his heart. The deep sorrow and despair, the softness in his heart can be seen at this moment, but he turned around and said sharply in the next moment: "Take those damn servants to death!" Put it on!"

Not long after, several eunuchs were escorted to kneel on the ground.

Li Qiao stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, after investigation, it is known that these people passed through the Taiye Pond that day, and they did not rescue Jin Guiren after they got down the pool, and Jin Guiren lost his son and was injured by external force, so it can be seen that these people must be The poisonous hands of people!"

Xuan Yin's expression was as cold as ice, and he said in a low voice: "You'd better tell the truth, who ordered you to kill Jingui, otherwise, I will tear you to pieces!"

The eunuchs kowtowed their heads, and each one was more greedy than the other and scrambled to speak, "It's Concubine Min! The servants are all Concubine Min's people! Everything was ordered by her!"

Hearing this, Concubine Min immediately stepped forward and kicked the most lovable eunuch a few times, ignoring a golden jade step shaking violently with her strength, she explained in a panic: "Your Majesty! No concubine! How could this concubine do harm?" It's about the dragon's heirs! It's these little slaves who slandered my concubine! The concubine doesn't know them at all!"

Xuan Yin looked at the person expressionlessly, exuding a chill all over his body, and said without emotion: "But they are all from your palace."

Concubine Min met Shang Xuan Yin's cold gaze, cold sweat dripped from her back.

This kind of Xuan Yin made her very scared. During the years she was in the harem, Xuan Yin had never treated her like this. Pearls are like treasures, and she has never said a single serious word.

Concubine Min didn't change her face, she still said calmly: "Your Majesty, I really don't know that it's these dog slaves who slandered my concubines, and my concubines implored the emperor to impose capital punishment on them! Only torture can be used to spit out the truth. talk!"

Xuan Yin looked at the man disappointedly, and said coldly: "...but I have already sent someone to check the details of these people, Xiao Anzi, Xiao Fuzi, and Xiaokangzi's family all have gifts from you, and these three are all from your palace. All three of them were present at Taiye Pool that day."

Concubine Min frowned and thought about it for a moment, before she suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, I have rewarded several eunuchs in the palace, and they rewarded them for their ability to do things well, but I did not pay attention to their names, this must be taken advantage of by someone with a heart. emperor!"

Concubine Lan wondered: "Oh? Concubine Min just said that she didn't know them, but now she said that she had rewarded them but forgot. Sister Min Concubine's memory is so bad, could it be because too many people have rewarded them."

When she married in Xuanming City, she did bring a lot of rare jewellery, spices and the like from her family. Before and after she became Concubine Min, she bought them from many palace people and rewarded them with a lot of gold and silver in the afternoon, because Lu Er She remembers the names and identities of those people, and how to use them does not require her to pay more attention.

It's just that today, this has become her deathbed.

She gave Concubine Lan a cold look, and said with a smile: "The concubine used the gold and silver from her mother's clan as rewards, and didn't use it on Concubine Lan, what do you want, Concubine Lan?"

Concubine Lan smiled lightly, her eyes were deep and deep: "So, Concubine Min really bribed the palace people to hurt Jingui's womb?"

Concubine Min was startled, she actually walked into Concubine Lan's trap.

She looked at Xuan Yin in horror, "Your Majesty, there is no concubine...!"

Xuan Yin could not listen to Concubine Min's refute at this moment, he took a deep breath, the veins on his forehead bulged, and said: "What you said is effective in doing things, you mean hurting the dragon fetus in the womb of Jingui!"

Concubine Min fell to her knees, and two lines of tears meandered down: "Your Majesty, this concubine has been tricked! This concubine has never done it! How could this concubine have the heart to hurt the emperor's child? She loves the eldest princess very much, maybe, maybe..." She stood up suddenly, glared at Mu Pingting angrily, and said, "It's you! It was you who accidentally fell into the water, and it was the people around me who came to save you, so To blackmail them by beating their stomachs is really vicious, even the emperor's heir can use it!"

Mu Pingting stopped her tears and looked at her coldly, her chest seemed to burst into flames, if possible, she would like to go forward and fight her to pay homage to her dead child.

But in the end she just twisted the quilt hard to vent her anger, gritted her teeth and said, "Vicious heart? If you talk about viciousness, wouldn't it be even more vicious for Concubine Min to ask her concubine to come to Linxian Hall to pray for blessings even though she knew she was pregnant?"

Concubine Lan said: "Your Majesty, my concubine heard that Concubine Min invited Mr. Jin to the Immortal Hall to pray for blessings many times that day, but Mr. Jin was unwell and could not go there. Concubine Min still kept sending palace people to Mr. Jin's residence to invite Mr. Jin. In the end, I had no choice but to compromise and find Concubine Min, which shows that Concubine Min's purpose is impure!"

Concubine Min retorted vigorously: "The concubine invited my concubine to pray for blessings at the Linxian Hall. She has only good intentions and no malice! The concubine is watching disasters happen in the palace. The emperor went to Baiyun Temple to pray, and the empress was seriously ill due to the cold. , as a role model in the harem, the concubine should set the record straight. It was a good day, but Mr. Jin was unwell. After all, Mr. Jin kept shirking it, and the concubine really doubted it..."

Concubine Lan said: "Your Majesty, Huayue is the personal maid of Noble Jin, and she knows the most about the cruel torture that Concubine Min did to Noble Jin."

Huayue went up to salute crying, the muslin wrapped on her forehead was bleeding red, and said sobbingly: "Your Majesty, our little master was not feeling well that day, always feeling dizzy and dizzy. After taking the medicine from Doctor Li, he just rested for a while. It’s a big problem, but Concubine Min has been sending palace servants to communicate, disturbing our young master, who is depressed and haggard!”

Concubine Min seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, her voice gradually weakened: "The concubine only cares about Mr. Jin, that's why I sent the palace maid over..."

Xuan Yin yelled at the people: "You know that Jingui is weak, but you deliberately sent palace people to her palace to disturb her and make her physically and mentally exhausted. You are like a snake and a scorpion."

Seeing people like this, Concubine Min felt grief and indignation in her heart, she stubbornly defended with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty...! This concubine just kindly cares about the noble Jin. There is no respect, and the concubine just wants to make the harem clean and tidy, and I don't know that nobleman Jin will be frightened by the concubine to go to Taiye Pool, and such a tragedy will happen."

Xuan Yin became more and more angry, and gave her a disgusted look: "You are speaking righteously, why do you think Jin Guiren is frightened by you? If you are not usually violent in dealing with things, how can Jin Guiren be so frightened? In the harem, if How can there be fewer people with vicious thoughts like you who are not upright!"

Concubine Min slumped on the ground in disbelief, her complexion turned ashen, and she shed a few lines of tears from the corners of her eyes after a while, showing a bit of resentment: "Your Majesty! The concubine admits that she did not target Mr. Jin, if she insists on saying The concubine has done it before, and the concubine just sent a maid to Fujingxuan to pass on the news, disturbing Jingui’s rest! As for the others, the concubine is now being framed and wronged, and I know that I can’t argue with it, so there is nothing wrong with it.”

Concubine Lan breathed in angrily, her eyebrows dyed with anger: "Now that the evidence is convincing, Concubine Min, what else can you say? I thought that Sister Lan Concubine has been in the harem for these years, and many bad habits in the past have been changed long ago. Why are you still so stubborn now? Woolen cloth."

Concubine Lan's words put all the blame on Concubine Min. Concubine Min ignored the words and still pleaded with Xuan Yin: "Your Majesty, this concubine is really wronged! Kindness is added, if it wasn't for the honorable Jin, how could the concubine have a quarrel with her!"

Xuan Yin's face turned livid in an instant, his disgust was concentrated in his heart, he frowned and said to humanity: "You said you treated everyone in the harem kindly, but I have heard that you beat Lin Changzai out of nothing many times, you always treat Lin Changzai with respect and humiliation. The matter is overwhelming, and now I will withdraw your concubine position, abolish your title, and reduce it to a promise, and you will be imprisoned in Guanju Palace for eternity!"

As if being struck by lightning, Concubine Min's face turned from fear to anger, she looked at Xuan Yin angrily, and said sadly: "Does the emperor treat concubines like this?! When the concubines married here far away, the emperor cared for them in every possible way, but now Being so unfeeling towards my concubines really chills Li Guo!"

Xuan Yin sneered and looked at people: "In the past, I never thought that you would be so heart-like as a snake! I don't want to see you, a jealous and resentful woman, get out of here." Turning around, she closed her eyes and stopped looking at people until Concubine Min was killed. After dragging it out, he said again: "You all go out, I will take good care of Mr. Jin."

"Then the emperor must comfort Mr. Jin well." The emperor looked at him sadly, and then said to Mu Pingting: "Take care of yourself, don't be too sad." Then he sighed and shook his head, and left with everyone, The hall was instantly clean.

Xuan Yin hugged Mu Pingting gently, and sighed softly: "Fortunately, Lin Changzai found out in time, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll never see Yue'er again."

Mu Pingting was stunned for a moment, a feeling of warmth welled up in her heart, she stared at Xuan Yin and wept slowly, and said sadly: "If it wasn't for Qingyu, I'm afraid that the concubine, mother and son would die, and we would never see the emperor again. Why did the emperor just consign her to promise, how could such a vicious person still stay in the palace?"

Xuan Yin knew that she was blaming him, so he just comforted him softly: "There will be more children, and Yue'er should not be too sad. The imperial doctor said that if you take the medicine on time, your body will recover as before."

Mu Pingting was silent, and after a while she said coldly: "Killing pays for life, the emperor didn't take her life after all."

"Yue'er, I hope you can understand, now she is not just a concubine in my harem, behind her is the power of Li Guo." Xuan Yin's eyes were clouded, and his words became colder.

Disappointment, doubt, anger... many complex emotions made Mu Pingting lose her rationality, she could not speak quickly, she stared at Xuan Yin closely, and blurted out as if forced: "The concubine's child was killed in vain, it is really pitiful! But if How can a person who cannot even protect his own children be worthy of being a father or mother?!"

She sat quietly like a stone, and tears flowed out, forming beads.

Xuan Yin's embrace was getting colder, what she said pierced his heart, these years since the eldest prince and the second prince died early, he has never had another son, now Mu Pingting's words are just rubbing salt on his wound, forcing him to He became cold and heartless.

"Are you blaming me? But since you don't want to go, why don't you stay in Fujingxuan instead of going to Taiye Pond? If you want to go out, why don't you bring the Zugong people with you?" Xuan Yin spoke With a bit of angry resentment.

Mu Pingting took a breath in shock, and said, "Isn't the emperor blaming his concubines now?"

"I didn't mean that...you are too excited." Xuan Yin looked extremely tired, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The hall suddenly became lifeless and quiet.

After a while, Xuan Yin got up and said, "Calm down, I will come to see you later."

Mu Pingting lay back on the bed with eyes full of sorrow, her tears warmed the pillow, causing a hot and humid, she closed her eyes tightly as if to escape, and fell asleep slowly surrounded by the warmth and darkness.
