Daughter of Hou's Mansion

"Luan'er, these are people I brought out from the palace. Xiaoqing, you know, this is Caiqin Caixia, and this is Xiaoguizi. I was in the cold palace thanks to their care. It's just that if I go out of the palace alone, they will definitely die, so I brought them out too." Wei Xiner said a little embarrassed.

Qingluan said: "Sister Xin'er, I understand, they will stay by your side to take care of you from now on."

Caiqin and the others who had been hanging on their hearts all heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, going out of the palace this time was both exciting and hesitant for them. They entered the palace since they were young and learned how to serve others. In addition, Xiao Guizi is still a eunuch, if Qin Wangshizi doesn't plan to take them in, they don't know where to go.

Several people came up to kowtow to Qingluan. Xiaoqing was originally from Weiyuanhou's residence. Seeing that Qingluan was safe and sound, she shed tears excitedly: "Girl, it's good to see that you are fine."

Qingluan quickly asked someone to help them up, and then told Xia Zhi: "Clean up the Zhilan Courtyard and give it to Sister Xin'er."

Xia Zhi hurriedly responded.

Qingluan took Wei Xin'er back to the room together, where the two great gods, Shangguanjue and Murong Yuradi, were standing, and it was difficult for her to ask some questions.

"Sister Xin'er, why did you suddenly get thrown into the cold palace?" Qingluan pulled Wei Xiner to sit on the kang, and Qiaoer retreated after drinking tea, leaving space for the pair who hadn't seen each other for a long time sisters.

"I did it on purpose." Wei Xin'er raised her head slightly, "After the empress became pregnant, I always felt that the atmosphere in the palace was not right. I have heard people say that the emperor's heirs are difficult, but the empress just now is at that critical moment. Pregnant at the moment, it's all too coincidental."

A hint of surprise flashed in Qingluan's eyes. She knew that Wei Xin'er was not the kind of person who made groundless rumors. She originally lived in the harem. What's going on in the harem was much clearer than outsiders. It's not surprising that people who are subtlety find something that others haven't.

"Sister Xin'er, did you find something?"

"The queen controls the harem, so she won't leave any traces, but I think her pregnancy is strange." Xiner frowned. She didn't have any evidence, because the situation in the palace was too complicated at that time Well, the Empress Jiang's family can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the entire harem, and the emperor is still seriously ill and has no time to take care of it.

Qingluan's expression is also a little dignified. If the son of Empress Jiang really belongs to the emperor, then no matter how young he is, he will always be the first in line heir. After being loyal to Prince Qin's mansion for so long, Qingluan fully believes that even the old The prince is the powerful regent, and he will return the power at a certain time, because he has no intention of getting involved in the throne.

The Jiang family attacked her again and again. Once the Jiang family came to power, their own life, the life of the Marquis of Weiyuan may not be as easy as it is now, so Qingluan still hopes that the Jiang family will really act as Wei Xiner guessed. He did something outrageous.

"Sister Xin'er, I understand. I'll tell Shangguanjue your suspicion." They can't confirm these things now, but she believes in one sentence, that is, Tianhui will not miss it, as long as the Jiang family really does it. , then don't be afraid that no evidence will be found, no matter how meticulous the plan is, there will be loopholes.

Wei Xin'er nodded. It is an established fact that Shangguan Rui will live soon. She has already escaped, and she doesn't have much idea about the next emperor. Anyway, she will never deal with the imperial palace again in her next life, but Qingluan and the others are different. However, as long as Shangguan still recognizes Qingluan for a day, then Qingluan is a member of Prince Qin's Mansion, as well as Marquis Weiyuan's Mansion. The future success or failure of these two mansions is determined by the emperor.

"Sister Xin'er, what are your future plans?" After a moment of silence, Qingluan changed the subject.She wanted Wei Xiner to be happy. After all, she was only 16 years old, and she had a long life ahead, but she wasn't sure if Wei Xiner had any grudges in her heart, and what kind of feelings she had for the emperor Shangguan Rui. idea.

Wei Xin'er smiled slightly, and patted Qingluan's hand: "Luan'er, I am different from you. My experience as a child made me understand that life is the most important truth, so I enter and leave the palace to live. Talk about the kindness of the couple for one night, but I really don't feel that kind of kindness to the emperor. He is just a stranger to me. Now that I have come out of that place, I have nothing to do with him. If I meet the right person in the future Maybe I will get married to someone who doesn’t mind my past, and if I don’t meet someone, I’ll live alone, anyway, let’s just let nature take its course.”

Qingluan admired Wei Xiner's open-mindedness and indifference the most. She nodded and said, "Sister Xiner, you will definitely meet better ones."

*******************************************************************

After the beginning of the first month, the weather in the northwest began to gradually warm up. Seeing the frosty soil thawing little by little, Qingluan's mood also began to soar. It is really hard to stay in the house all winter. It's so suffocating that next year, when she gets used to the weather here, she will have to experience the winter style for herself.

On the other side of Shangjing, on the second day of February, the emperor personally issued an imperial decree to confer the imperial son of Zhonggong as the crown prince. During the sacrifice ceremony, the emperor personally worshiped and offered the canonized imperial edict on the altar.

During the long sacrifice ceremony, Shangguan Rui, who was thought to be terminally ill, didn't show any signs of fatigue. Although his face looked a little sallow and his figure was thin, he persevered. It's also very strange, could it be that the Tai Hospital has researched some panacea, which has supported the emperor's body again.

Of course, the old prince is happy to see the emperor's health improving. After all, the crown prince is young, if Shangguan Rui goes at this time, there will be chaos in the court.

In Chengqian Palace, Eunuch Wang was sweating profusely, wishing that he was deaf and blind at the moment.

Shangguan Rui was leaning halfway on the couch, his body was tense, like a bow being stretched so tightly that it might break at any time due to excessive force.He grabbed the quilt on the couch with both hands, even because of too much use, a hole was dug out of the brocade.

Eunuch Wang trembled and called out, "Your Majesty."

Shangguan Rui didn't seem to hear it, his already thin face was twisted into a ball, as if he was trying to endure something, his eyes were staring straight ahead, his appearance was extremely scary.

After a stick of incense, more and more sweat came out of Shangguan Rui's forehead, and his expression became more and more painful. Eunuch Wang trembled, but he held a black bottle in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it is still Eat, or you will be overwhelmed."

Shangguan Rui raised his head abruptly, staring straight at Eunuch Wang with his lustful eyes.

The frightened Eunuch Wang took two steps back, his knees softened, and he quickly knelt down.

The black bottle was still in his hand, Shangguan Rui stared at the bottle, this pill, this pill relieved his physical condition, but it also made his body dependent on this medicine, once it stopped medicine, life would be worse than death.

As an emperor, he felt that if he couldn't overcome even a small addiction, it would really hurt his self-esteem, but the facts proved that he really couldn't resist this kind of dependence, but it was only a quarter of an hour late. It seems that there are thousands of ants gnawing at it.

His eyes were wide open, the eyeballs were almost protruding, and finally that desire overcame his rationality, "Give me the medicine!"

Eunuch Wang, agitated, quickly poured out two pills from the porcelain bottle. Originally, only one pill was enough, but the dosage increased within half a month. handed over to the emperor.

The emperor stared at the two pills in his palm as if he was watching his own father-killer and enemy, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and swallowed them.

But in the time of a cup of tea, the tingling feeling in his heart and lungs finally subsided, and his cheeks turned slightly red.Shangguan Rui abruptly raised his body from the couch, at this time he moved swiftly, without any trace of the dying old man just now.

Eunuch Wang quickly took a step back.

After Shangguan Rui's sanity returned, he found that he was still controlled by this addiction, and his face was as dark as the eve of a storm.

"Press Imperial Physician Yuan to me."

After a while, a guard brought up a man in his thirties, Shangguan Rui really wanted to pounce on him and eat this man alive, it was this unknown person from the Imperial Hospital who gave the pill.

Although Shangguan Rui appointed the old prince as the regent and appointed several auxiliary ministers, how could he accept all this calmly in his heart? He is only in his 40s, and he has just tasted the taste of power. But he was about to die, and his body was deteriorating so quickly, making him powerless but unwilling.

When Yuan Qu sent this medicine, it was undoubtedly a glimmer of hope in the midst of despair, so he used it, and within three days, he was able to get out of bed. Such a magic medicine made Shangguan Ruilong feel very happy, and he directly sealed the medicine. Yuan District is the judge of Tai Hospital.

However, in less than half a month, he found that he was full of energy after taking this medicine, but he could not do without this medicine. As an emperor, he was actually controlled by the medicine. For Shangguan Rui said it was a great shame, he wished to cut Yuan Qu's five horses into pieces, but the prescription of the pill was in Yuan Qu's hands, no matter how harshly he tortured him, he refused to spit out the prescription.

He tried desperately to get rid of the drug addiction, but tried again and again, and finally gave in.

"Who sent you here?" Shangguan Rui was full of energy at this time, and the emperor's pressure was pressing towards Yuan District.

ps: I suddenly discovered that the emperor is the most tragic character in this article.
