The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 223 The Origin of Plum Garden

Jishui's efficiency is still very fast, Yun Lanyue asked her to check where Xipin usually goes, and she quickly brought back the news.

"You mean, Concubine Xi only liked going to the plum garden recently?" Yun Lanyue asked casually while sipping tea.

"Yes, the plum garden was planted by the Emperor himself for Concubine Mei many years ago. Now that Concubine Mei is gone, the plum garden is still the same as in previous years. It is full of red plums in winter, which is very beautiful."

"Wait, you're talking about Concubine Mei..."

"Returning to your empress, Concubine Mei is the biological mother of Princess Minghui."

"Hui'er's biological mother?" Yun Lanyue just remembered that she only knew that Hui'er's biological mother died young, and she grew up with the queen since she was a child, but she had never heard anyone say who Hui'er's biological mother was.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Mei Gui is a taboo in the harem, no one dares to mention it, especially in front of the emperor and empress."

"is it?"

"Concubine Mei has been favored since she entered the palace, and has been promoted to be a noble concubine time after time. The strange thing is that in this harem, only Concubine Mei has been safe and sound since she was pregnant, and she has never made a mistake. "

"Is it because the emperor protects you well?" This is very strange. Once a woman in the harem becomes pregnant, she will become the target of public criticism. There are very few people who can keep the fetus in the womb, let alone the emperor's favorite woman , is no one afraid that after she gives birth to a child, the emperor will spoil her even more?
"The emperor didn't particularly protect Concubine Mei Gui, because in this harem, no one dared to do anything to her."

"do not have it?"

"Yes, Concubine Mei, the Empress and Concubine Qiu are very close. If you want to do something to Concubine Mei, you must first ask the two empresses whether they agree."

After hearing this, Yun Lanyue was even more confused: "The queen and Concubine Qiu are still on the same front? What is the origin of Concubine Mei?"

"It's a coincidence that Concubine Mei's family is next to the empress's natal family. It can be said that she and the empress grew up together. The two have always had a good relationship and are called sisters. Concubine Mei's grandmother's family Next to Concubine Qiu's natal family, Concubine Mei often went to play with her mother at her grandmother's house, and she had a very good relationship with Concubine Qiu. I heard that Concubine Qiu took good care of Concubine Mei since she was a child. It was the time of discord, because of her arrival, the two of them restrained themselves on the surface. Of course, this is what the servant heard from other palace servants. Whether it is true or not, the servant does not know. "

"How did Concubine Mei die back then?"

"I don't know why. It seems that I had a quarrel with Concubine Qiu. Concubine Mei was about to go into labor at that time, her fetus became gassy, ​​and she died of dystocia."

"Isn't the emperor very angry?"

"I'm very angry. I heard that at one point she wanted to kill Concubine Qiu with a sword, but was stopped by the queen. Concubine Qiu also wanted to die at the time. I don't know why. Afterwards, it seemed like nothing happened. Similarly, no one mentions Concubine Mei anymore."

"Oh?" Yun Lanyue squinted her eyes, and suddenly no one mentioned it. There must be something hidden in it. She couldn't figure out why the queen was so kind to Huier, even better than her own daughter. If It seems unreasonable to say that Concubine Mei and her grew up together, and the two have a good relationship. There must be other unknown reasons for this.

"Actually, I have heard another saying."

"What do you say?"

"It is said that Concubine Mei didn't get pregnant because of Concubine Qiu, but because of what the emperor did that made Concubine Mei angry, so the emperor refrained from killing Concubine Qiu. Speaking of which, Concubine Qiu is also bold. Back then, for the custody of Princess Minghui, she had a fierce fight with the Empress Empress."

"Concubine Qiu also wants to raise Hui'er?"

"Yes, but it is taken for granted that the emperor will not let her raise Princess Minghui. After all, Concubine Mei's womb gas caused dystocia, and Concubine Qiu was also responsible."

Yun Lanyue nodded, but she didn't have any clue. She was very curious about this Concubine Mei, what kind of woman could make vicious people like the Queen and Concubine Qiu not have the heart to hurt her?No wonder the emperor dotes on Hui'er so much, presumably because of his love for Concubine Mei, all of it has turned into favor for Hui'er.

"Your Majesty, shall we go to the Plum Garden right away? Concubine Xi should still be there right now."

now?Yun Lanyue frowned: "Does Concubine Xi go to the plum garden at this time every day?"

"Well, around this time, sometimes earlier."

It doesn't make sense, she thought that the reason why this concubine Xi went to the Plum Garden every day was to think that one day, the emperor would think of Concubine Mei, because when she went to the Plum Garden to see things and think about people, the emperor would definitely treat her like that. She took advantage of the situation to regain the favor, but now it seems that Concubine Xi didn't want to be favored.

This woman in the harem is not for favor, what else is it for?Could it be that there are some secrets hidden in the plum garden?
"Jishui, do you know what Concubine Xi will do after going to Plum Garden?"

"Every time Concubine Xi goes, she will let her personal maid Ningshuang watch outside, and the slaves can't get close, so I don't know what she is doing inside, please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if we don't know. When we see Concubine Xi in the plum garden, we will naturally know. By the way, since the plum garden was specially built by the emperor for Concubine Mei, there is no clear rule that no one is allowed. Trespassing or something?"

"Concubine Mei is kind by nature and never likes to show off the emperor's favor. She has already said that the plum garden will never be opened only for her when the emperor established the plum garden. Yes, you can go in and enjoy it at any time, the emperor loves Concubine Mei Gui a lot, so naturally she will not object to her words, so up to now, the plum garden is still not closed, everyone can come and go freely."

"In these years, have you heard that the emperor will often go to the Plum Garden?"

"Every winter, when the plum blossoms bloom, the emperor will go to the plum garden at night, and he will stay there for a long time. The reason why the slaves know about this is because the emperor has done it twice, because the people who stayed in the plum garden The time was too long, so that I suffered from the wind and cold, and it didn't get better for a long time."

"Long time? How long?"

"It will be about a month or so. The Tai Hospital is very worried, so most people in the harem know about this matter."

Yun Lanyue moved her index finger slightly, knocked on the table, then stood up and said, "Since it is possible that Empress Xi is still in the plum garden, let's go out and try my luck."

　One more!
