Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2331 Seven Volumes 31 That Girl Last Night (Bi)
Concubine Yu's words made E Chang feel a tumbling in his heart.

This feeling is very similar to the panic that arose in her heart when the emperor held her shoulders with a smile in the hall of "Pengdao Yaotai".

Horrified, yes, that's the word.

From being "invited" to the Punishment Department on the Dragon Boat Festival in May, she has been living in another courtyard for two months, until she was released by the emperor on July [-]th... After more than two months, she finally regained her freedom and regained her freedom. Putting on Chang Zai's auspicious clothes, and putting back on her head the phoenix tin worn by Chang Zai's auspicious clothes, at that moment her heart was not relieved, on the contrary, she was even more terrified.

Thinking back to the panic at that moment, it probably also came from her foresight of the future.Just like what Concubine Yu said at this moment.

E Changzai lowered his eyes sadly, "Sister Yu... I don't know why the emperor said that in front of the big guys in the palace at that moment. But please believe me, I am just prudently punishing the Secretary I was imprisoned in the courtyard for two months, but I didn't say anything!"
.
Concubine Yu stared at herself in the mirror and saw a smile on her face.

She looked at her smiling face in the mirror with a smile, "Didn't say anything? Oh, then I don't understand. If E Changzai and you really didn't say anything, how could the emperor let you back? "

E Chang felt as if he had been slapped on the face, his face turned red, but his eyes darkened.

"Sister Yu, I really didn't say anything. I don't know why the emperor let me back..."

Concubine Yu laughed again, "You were held accountable that day because Mrs. Lan accused you of harming her. Who is Mrs. Lan? That's the empress dowager's family. No matter how much the empress dowager protects her, it's too late. How dare you Break ground on her head... If you don't say anything in the Punishment Department, will the Empress Dowager let you go back?"

"E Chang is here, or else we sisters have called you into trouble. If you didn't have time to communicate with me in advance, then you have moved into my palace now. No matter how big you are, In the evening, the palace gates are all locked, so why don’t you dare to confess to me face to face? It’s a pity that you still have to face me, so you didn’t say anything to the emperor!”
.
Concubine Yu's tone became colder and colder.

It is not surprising that E is often there, but there is nothing to do.

In the "Pengdao Yaotai" hall before, seeing the emperor talking to her tenderly with a smile, and even reaching out to press her shoulder... This kind of intimacy that has never been seen before, not only did not make her the slightest joy, but was frightened To the bones - that's why, that's why!
She clearly made up her mind and insisted that Qingshan would not let go. No matter what the spirits in the Punishment Department asked, she just killed Lan Guiren with one bite. It was not her fault, and no one behind her instructed her... But she didn't understand either. Why did the emperor suddenly say that she had said everything she needed to say!

That's the Son of Heaven, the emperor said that, and everyone believed it; but she really, really didn't say a word!
Why is no one willing to believe her wronged?
She originally thought that at least Concubine Yu, who had the same interests, would believe her... But what she saw before her was really just her own wishful thinking.

She shook her head with a wry smile, "Sister Yu, so even you don't want to believe me."

Concubine Yu narrowed her eyes, "Of course I want to believe you. It's just that you have to give me a reason to believe you - if you didn't say anything, how could the Empress Dowager give up? How could you come back? "

"Since you were able to come back, since you were unscathed and your position was not lowered; the emperor even rewarded you with lychees one day in advance, and he was so gentle and comforting to you in the palace before—then there is only one explanation, that is, You said it, it will only be possible if you satisfy the emperor!"
.
E Changzai felt that his throat was blocked, and he was so wronged that he wanted to cry out.But she herself knew too well, what's the use of shedding tears now?Concubine Yu should believe it or not.

She closed her eyes lightly, "It seems that no matter how much I swear, Sister Yu is not willing to believe me. But Sister Yu, please forgive me: that matter is ultimately my fault with Lan Guiren, so I'll let you go." It's the empress dowager who refuses to forgive me, and my sister won't be affected by this matter, so please rest assured, sister Yu."

Concubine Yu finally let out a chuckle when she heard E Changzai say that, Huo Dijiang turned around and stared straight at E Changzai.

"What E Chang said is reasonable. After all, the pimple on Nalan nobleman's face is only related to E Chang Zai you alone. That matter has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me!"

E Changzai nodded hurriedly, "That's exactly the reason."

"I know that Sister Yu asked me those things before, but she actually cared about me. She was afraid that I would be embarrassed by the Empress Dowager in the future. Only then did Sister Yu know what I said to the emperor... But please rest assured, Sister Yu. Not only did I not say anything, I definitely did not say a single word related to Sister Yu."
.
Concubine Yu laughed again, "E Changzai's words became more and more interesting. What do you mean you didn't say a word related to me? You have nothing to do with me in the first place. Nothing!"

"Or, E Changzai originally wanted to say something related to me? E Changzai knew something about me, and what did he use as my excuse?"

E Changzai was startled, and quickly waved his hands, "Sister Yu, it was my slip of the tongue just now. No, I don't know anything, so why did the word 'handle' come from?"

Concubine Yu smiled coldly, "But you said that you have nothing to do with Lan Guiren, and I have nothing to do with it. In fact, this is also wrong-you forgot, that day in 'Wanfang Anhe', Concubine Qing was Intentionally implying that I am instigating you behind your back! E Changzai is only a permanent presence after all, but I have the concubine of the prince, if it is said that I am guilty, I will naturally be more guilty than you."

"But E Changzai just came back so casually. Could it be that during the two months you were in the Punishment Department, what you said to the emperor really didn't involve me at all?"

E Changzai trembled again, "No, Sister Yu, what do I have to say to make you believe me? Do you really have to sacrifice your heart to believe me, huh?"

"What are you talking about?" Concubine Yu rolled her eyes at E Changzai, but turned around lazily, and looked at herself in the mirror again, not looking at E Changzai again, "Now E Changzai It's the constant presence in my palace, if something happens to you, outsiders will keep an eye on me; let alone a heart-to-heart, E constant presence, it is a felony that will implicate the mother's family."

"Don't say these words anymore. Nothing will implicate me. It's like how I bullied you."
.
Having said that, there is nothing more to say.

E Changzai stared blankly at Concubine Yu with tears in his eyes, feeling that his heart was about to turn into ashes.

Born in such a family background, after her uncle and father were ordered to commit suicide one after another by the emperor in the same year, she was already aware of her situation.In this harem, it is impossible for her to be favored; the only hope is to rely on the goodness of her in-laws, and all her hopes are placed on the fifth elder brother Yongqi!

Therefore, even if she died by herself, she would never say anything about Concubine Yu's mother and son.

But she is so loyal, why doesn't Concubine Yu understand, let alone believe her? !

"E Chang is here, we've been tossing around all day, I'm tired, you should be too. Get up, don't kneel here. Let's settle down." Concubine Yu lazily finished speaking, and slowly got up, Then he passed by Echang's side, and walked back to Nuange without looking back.
.
E Changzai knelt outside for a while longer before leaving in despair.

Sandan waited for Concubine Yu to lie down, took off the hook of the tent, and the tent fell down.

"Master... In fact, master You'e is always helping her, so it's not a bad thing. Why does master treat her like this?"

Concubine Yu closed her eyes wearily, "I naturally understand the benefits of having an extra helper in the palace. E Changzai has nothing to hope for now, only us and Yongqi as a backer. Thinking about it, she wouldn't dare to treat me badly." loyal."

"But, when we think about things, we can't just think about the present, we have to think about Yongqi's future. Think about it, because of her relationship with Lan Guiren, will Lan Guiren and the Empress Dowager look at her pleasingly in the future? ?”

"However, the emperor put her in my palace, and repeatedly mentioned in public that I and her were close friends, which actually made Concubine Qing's accusation against me that day even more believed. Lan The nobleman is young, and they don't want to believe that E Chang dared to attack the Empress Dowager Lan Guiren with such a low rank. I am afraid that they will become more and more suspicious of my instigation! That day, Lan Guiren and the Empress Dowager looked at us, and again How can I go with my eyes?"

"If you don't get the empress dowager's favor, what good will Yongqi have in the future...?"

When Sandan heard it, his head grew bigger, "Master said so. This jaw is always moving into the womb of the master, it is really harmful and not beneficial."

Concubine Yu sighed, "From now on, not only will I not be able to use her to do things anymore, but I will be even more indifferent to her in front of everyone, and the farther away from her the better. Otherwise, I will be in the empress dowager's place." In my heart, it is more difficult to turn over."

Sandan closed the tent, "Master, don't worry, this servant understands. It's just a permanent presence, and there are naturally many ways for slaves to deal with her. In the past, slaves also respected her, but it was because she was our fifth elder brother's in-law; but Since she has implicated the master and the fifth elder brother, then the servants don't have to be polite."
.
The [-]th day of July was lively and lively, and the curtain ended late.The morning of July [-] came with a little laziness.

Wanxi also slept for a while longer, before Chen Shi woke up sleepily.He opened the tent, only to see Yurui waiting outside the tent with a somewhat anxious expression on his face.

Wanxi woke up all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Yurui came forward and first took a pillow to help Wanxi put the medicine on, and then said slowly, "...the third elder brother Yongzhang, passed away."

Wanxi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head after a while and said, "What did you say? The emperor has only visited him for a few days, why did he..."

Wanxi couldn't help but think of what the emperor said last night.He said that he was already 50 years old, and he didn't know how many days he could be with the children... Last night she laughed at the emperor for saying this, but look, the two oldest princes of the emperor: elder brother Yonghuang, The third elder brother Yongzhang has already walked in the head of the emperor.

Wanxi slowly crossed her legs and got off to put on her shoes.With his head down like this, there was still a string of tears falling down suddenly.

The imperial concubine Chunhui just left in April, why did Yongzhang follow her so soon~~
Yu Rui also said softly, "Brother Elder Brother and Brother Third Elder Brother both left at such a young age, isn't it because of the depression in my heart all these years..."

Wan Xi nodded.That's all for the eldest brother, when he was attending the funeral for Empress Xiaoxian, he was already twenty years old, and the emperor's accusations were tangible; but the third elder brother Yongzhang was always a little bit wronged, after all He was just a 13-year-old kid back then.

Yongzhang's biggest "no", I'm afraid it's only half of Han Chinese blood.

Over the years, this grievance has been suppressed in Yongzhang's heart, and it is also suppressed in the heart of Emperor Chunhui; therefore, she fell ill last year, but Emperor Chunhui still persisted, and took Yongzhang with her in August. Going to Rehe to celebrate the emperor's birthday... It was a prayer that was almost a last wish, and I prayed that the emperor would take back those words he said to Yongzhang.

It's a pity that the emperor still didn't make the imperial concubine Chunhui fulfill her wish, and asked the imperial concubine Chunhui to return to Beijing from Rehe, and she vomited blood in September...

Now, in less than three months, the imperial concubine Chunhui and Yongzhang's mother and son have all gone.This case, regardless of whether everyone has justice in their hearts, has already been settled and there is no point in changing it.
.
Wanxi reluctantly ate her breakfast, and all the concubines arrived.

Because "Heaven, Earth, Family Spring" is the location of the inner palace, concubines and concubines always meet here when they have something to do.At this time, Nala lived in the "Changchun Immortal Hall", because that was the empress dowager's bedroom, and it was inconvenient for the concubines to disturb her directly, so they came to meet at "Tiandi Family Spring".

Wanxi led the crowd to wait for Nala's arrival from the Changchun Immortal Pavilion.Whenever such a time, Nala's face is always full of hesitation when he walks into "Heaven, Earth and Family Spring" through the middle gate.

"I came late and kept you waiting."

Nala's situation is even more so today, seeing that everyone is standing behind Wanxi according to the rules, he said coldly, "You too, didn't you see that Ling Guifei's body has reached this month, and you still have to get together , Disturbing Imperial Concubine Ling!"

Wanxi hurriedly led everyone to salute, "How dare I be a concubine."

Nala snorted softly, "According to Concubine Ling, it seems that you are so happy that all the big guys come to meet you?"

Wanxi didn't care about it, she nodded lightly and passed by, and then everyone went to "Jiuzhou Qingyan" to greet the emperor.

People on the road moved forward one by one according to their positions and the order of walking.Yuqin followed Wanxi, and couldn't help but whisper, "Why is she so angry today?"

Wanxi slightly hooked the corners of her lips, "Look at the time, she is indeed late today. It seems that her legs and feet should be numb because she accompanied the nobleman to worship early in the morning. .”

Yuqin remembered it too, and couldn't help but spit softly, "I can't complain! My legs and feet are numb, so I can't walk; I'm in a bad mood, so I always make everyone feel bad."

When they arrived at "Jiuzhou Qingyan", everyone saluted the emperor together and asked the emperor to mourn.

Nala raised her sleeves and shed tears, and sighed, "I never thought that Yongzhang is also a blessing. His mother and concubine just passed away three months ago, and he went with him."

"After he died, he didn't even have a royal grandson to inherit. Oh, it's really sad."

After Nala said this, all the concubines saluted Nala again, asking "The queen's mother's day is mourning".

The emperor raised his eyes and stared at Nala, "Being born as my son is a blessing from heaven. Even if he left early and failed to leave an heir to inherit; I will naturally choose one for him in the clan." The younger generation came to be the heir. After all, no one will pay homage to him, so I don’t need to worry about the empress.”

Nala was so choked that she raised her eyes to stare at the emperor.

The emperor looked away lazily, and reached out to Wanxi, "How can you still stand? Sit down."

Wanxi bowed to thank her seat, and the emperor sighed softly, "Just now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has replied, and the scriptures for Yongzhang have been prepared. What makes me gratified is that the preparations for this response are all made with Jia Jia. Arranged personally."

"My fourth princess has also grown up. Although Chunhui's funeral has just passed, this child has worked hard, but she didn't fall down. At this time, she has helped me share a lot."

Wanxi nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Even in the palace, there are the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Palace Supervisor to prepare for it, and the fourth princess and Duke Zhongyong Fujin have also experienced things. They will definitely be able to help Yongzhang's Fujin go. "

Yongzhang's first-line Fujin is also the daughter of Princess Heshuo Shushen, and the royal family is also equivalent to the third elder brother Fujin's maternal ancestral home, so the palace also has to take care of the third elder brother Fujin.

The emperor nodded, "With He Jia's help in the past, I can really feel relieved."

...The emperor so naturally discussed with Wanxi what happened after Yongzhang's death, but instead left the Queen of the Palace aside.

Nala stared at the emperor and Wanxi in amazement, too annoyed to speak.After a while, he said, "Going back to the emperor, the imperial concubine's body has reached this month, why bother to make her work hard! The preparations in this palace are still concubines, so it must be the same!"

The emperor raised his eyes slowly, and it took a long time for his eyes to fall on Nala's face.

"Well, the empress is right. It's not appropriate to make the noble concubine work hard at this moment. I didn't even intend to make her work hard. I just discussed it with her. As for those errands and hands-on things, the slaves will naturally go to them." do it."

Nala's cuffs were so annoyed, "Your Majesty! I am the empress of Zhenggong and Yongzhang's mother! Could it be that your majesty can't trust me in this matter?"

The emperor's eyes were calm, without any ripples, "Did the empress forget what the empress dowager said last night? How could I not trust the empress? I am just worried that the empress will have to accompany the nobleman to worship five times a day for the next six months...... Can you take care of Yongzhang's funeral?"

"The empress should concentrate on God. The ministers have to deal with the funeral."
.
The third elder brother passed away, headed by the fourth elder brother Yongxuan, and the emperor's elder brothers all went to Qiandong Wu where Yongzhang lived.

The sixth elder brother Yongrong and Yongzhang are brothers in this life, so it is the most uncomfortable; the rest of the princes also wept together.

It's just that there is a difference between closeness and estrangement in the end, Yongrong still guards in front of Yongzhang's spirit, and the rest of the princes went to the "Tatan" outside to sit on the ground.

After the third elder brother passed away, the fourth elder brother Yongxuan became the eldest son of the emperor.Yongxuan and Yongxuan, who came from the same mother as Yongxuan, surrounded each other and sat together.

Yongxuan can't tell what's in his heart at this moment.If it was because of his mother's suggestion that he had longed for a big position when he was a child, then he should be secretly happy that he has become the eldest son of the emperor; but he did not forget to set the time for the concubine's funeral, He was sent by Huang Ama to stand on the top of the pot and kneel for the funeral; and now that Zi Yong Rong has been succeeded, he is also quite uneasy.

Seeing that the fourth brother was a little distracted, Yongxuan and Yongxuan stopped fighting, and the two got together and whispered what happened last night.

Last night we had a lot of fun in the "Ten Thousand Flowers Array", so the two little brothers will never forget it.

Yongxuan rubbed her ankle, tilted her head and asked Yongxuan, "You grew up in Ling'erniang's palace, and you have come and gone frequently over the years, you must know everyone in her palace. "

Yong Xing thought for a while, then nodded, "Who do you want to ask?"

At this time, Yong Xing was eight and a half years old, and his mind was also sharp. Before Yong Xuan could speak, Yong Xing raised his eyebrows, "I figured it out! Mynah wants to ask the maid who rubbed mynah's feet last night, right?" ?”

Yong Xuan's face turned red, "...Who, who said I'm going to ask her?"
.
Last night Fukang'an came to look for the two brothers in such a hurry. Hearing that the two younger sisters were crying, Yongxuan didn't care about his bad legs, so he ran over with Fukang'an and Yongxuan.But after all, his foot had that disease, and he sprained a little while running too fast.

It happened that on the other side of the low wall beside him, an official lady holding a lotus lantern passed by lightly.Seeing his foot hurt, she quickly knelt down to caress him.

As a prince, with the face of a prince, Yongxuan has known that his feet are not good-looking these years, so he is rarely willing to let people see his appearance, let alone be touched by others.What he was most afraid of - if someone touched his feet, they would show disdain or surprise.

But the woman didn't show any expression that worried him.Even, in her light eyes, there is only pity flashing across.

Later, with him as the leader, a group of children finally succeeded in creating the "Ten Thousand Flowers Formation".When he looked back, he saw the woman holding a lotus lantern and smiling at him, her eyes sparkling with admiration and admiration.

For half the night when he went back, he saw that girl in front of his eyes. Although he was tired, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.Today I saw Yong Xing again, so I didn't care about the fact that the third brother had just passed away, so I was in a hurry to ask the girl's name.
.
Although Yong Xing is still young, he can see the starling's anxious appearance.

In fact, since he was a child, he felt that starlings rarely smiled.Even when mother was around, she always hid mynah in the palace and rarely asked him to go out to meet people.

In the past few years, the starling has grown older, and the brothers all say that Huang Ama is going to marry the starling.

But the starlings have reached this age, but they stay far away from women.Yong Xing also understands that mynah is jealous of his feet.

Now it's the first time that the starling has taken the initiative to ask a woman, Yong Xing is not to mention how happy he is.

Er Niang is no longer alive, the three brothers should support each other.Starling's wishes, if he doesn't help, who else can help?
