Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2596 Nine Volumes 78 Return
Ever since Xiaoshiwu and the others galloped back to Beijing from the summer resort, Wanxi has been counting the days with her fingers.

Five days after Sister Lu passed away, the golden coffin was moved from the Ji'an Office inside the palace to the Jing'an Funeral Palace outside the palace... That was the day when Xiao Shiwu and the others began to wear filial piety.

How sad she is, at this time she is still detained in the Summer Resort, and she can't send Sister Lu for the last time.

It is so sad that the events of the past 30 years have come back again.

In fact, there were already signs that sister Lu would leave today.Sister Lu has been ill since three years ago, but just holding on to this breath, she must see Xiao Shiwu get married with her own eyes.

Because Sister Lu is a Jiangnan Han girl, her physical foundation is basically weaker than the concubines in the banner—or even worse than Wanxi.After all, Wanxi didn't need to bind her feet, but when Sister Lu entered the palace, she was already a three-inch golden lotus.

The emperor also searched for medicine for Sister Lu. When all the imperial doctors and imperial physicians in the imperial hospital used it, but there was no improvement, the emperor even thought that maybe it was because Sister Lu was from the south of the Yangtze River. Find a local doctor...

But in the end, the medicine stone is useless, and Sister Lu's illness has been delayed until now—it wasn't the emperor's vague hint, and Wanxi herself understood that there is only one reason for such a disease that the medicine stone has no cure, and that is Sister Lu's life span is up.

Sister Lu was not able to accompany Mulan this time, but the emperor still misses Sister Lu.Since May, every time the palace newspapers were sent from Beijing, the emperor always specially asked Hu Shijie and others to report the situation of sister Lu in the palace newspapers.

At the beginning of July, when the news of elder sister Lu's critical illness came out, the emperor specially ordered people to go back to visit her...

At this time, Sister Lu passed away, although the Emperor was not by his side, but the Emperor had already done his best, I believe that when Sister Lu left, she must have no resentment towards the Emperor...

On the contrary, Wanxi herself couldn't help but blame herself after all.

If she knew that this time the parting would be an eternal farewell, she would rather beg the emperor in May than not accompany Qiu Yu.

How much she wished that when Sister Lu was dying, she could be by Sister Lu's side and hold Sister Lu's hand tightly...

They have all made a tacit vow: they will depend on each other and support each other in this life, and they don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but they want to die in the same year and the same month... Sister Lu dedicated all her heart and energy to her in her life; Over the past few years, Xiao Shiwu has been treated as a son closer than his own...

But in the end, she couldn't see Sister Lu again, couldn't stay with Sister Lu, and it was even too late to see Sister Lu for the last time.

If the previous cough was not considered a serious illness, Yuqin's death at this time really took away half of Wanxi's life.

Especially this is a long parting, it is too late to redeem the regret.It will only be permanently imprinted on the heart, and there will be no chance to remove it.

Because of this incident, Wanxi's condition sank again.
.
The emperor knew with his own eyes that Jiu'er was sick, but how could he tell her to rush back to Beijing with such a sickness?

What's more, if Jiu'er is really required to personally handle the funeral for Yuqin, then Jiu'er's illness will be even more serious^
Therefore, even if the emperor was cruel, he would not dare to take such a risk, so Wanxi was not allowed to return to Beijing.

However, he still had to see Wanxi's condition worsen with his own eyes, and the emperor's mood was indescribably gloomy.

He had nowhere to vent his anger. In July this year, Gao Yuncong's case broke out for a whole year, and the emperor issued an angry decree:
"The eunuch Gao Yuncong is now locked up for some reason. He will be handed over to the former imperial ministers and others for interrogation. Ying Lian is ordered to search Gao Yuncong's family property in Beijing. His family will be handed over to the Punishment Department for strict confinement."

After Gao Yun was detained for a year, his crimes still affected his family.

The emperor was also very disappointed with Minzhong, and scolded him: "Yu Minzhong was walking in the military plane as a bachelor, and he was called to him, so why don't I say anything? Why did you turn to the inner eunuch to ask for news?!"

"Since the use of troops in Sichuan Province, Yu Minzhong has always handled the investigation and handling of the book. The great achievement is about to be completed, and I just want to give you kindness and praise, like the example of Zhang Tingyu, a great scholar, and give him a world position. The matter is about to be completed, and Yu Minzhong happened to have this matter, but Yi Fuze is limited and cannot accept my kindness."

The rest of the people involved in this case, "Guanbao, Jiang Cichao, Wu Tan, as Jiuqing, how should they be so troublesome? They are all dismissed and handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for investigation."

When handling this case, the emperor clearly stated in the decree for the first time after he got older, 'When you reach the age of 85, you will return to the government'.

The emperor was heartbroken and said: "I am open and honest, waiting for all the ministers. However, the ministers can't do their best and try to repay them. The ministers think about themselves at night, and their conscience is at ease?!"

"Shu Hede and Ying Lian didn't know what to do with the excuses, and they passed down the decree and strictly enforced the order. Jiuqing and others also issued the order."

Originally a small incident of a eunuch leaking secrets, it was much smaller than the death of Empress Xiaoxian in the 13th year of Qianlong.But at that time, the emperor only dealt with a few governors and ministers because of the death of Empress Xiaoxian, but at this time, because of Wanxi's serious illness, the emperor was heartbroken and ordered all the nine ministers in the court to go...

Once the emperor, if he hadn't been so heartbroken and anxious, how could he have ordered the courts in Beijing and Jiuqing?
As the son of heaven, he was already alone; after the death of the ninth master, the emperor was left alone in the court.If it wasn't for heartache and anxiety, how could he rashly put himself on the opposite side of all the courtiers?
A few days later, a meeting of former imperial ministers made a statement at the Ministry of Punishment: Gao Yuncong, the eunuch, made friends with foreign court officials, leaked records, swaggered and caused troubles, and the law was extreme.According to the law, it is planned to be cut, please immediately rectify the law.Obtained decree: Gao Yun follows, beheaded immediately.

Following Gao Yuncong's death, his elder brother Gao Yunzhang, third brother Gao Yunlong, and fourth brother Gao Yunhui were all punished.

This incident has become so big that almost all court officials are in danger.

Even Mao Tuan'er, because of the crime of Gao Yun's existence, knew that he had recommended the wrong person, so he came to say goodbye to Wan Xi in private... Even though Mao Tuan'er didn't understand what to say, but Wan Xi said goodbye to Mao Tuan'er. Even though I knew it, I was still taken aback.

Wanxi threw the tea bowl directly on the ground in front of his knees in such a fuss, "If you know there is something wrong, you can make amends! The second girl is no longer here, and you want to take the blame like this, what are you doing so stupidly? !"

After Wanxi shouted, she coughed again.Mao Tuan'er was woken up, and kowtowed to the ground with tears in his eyes, "I will devote all my life to serving the fifteenth elder brother, I will not be confused anymore... Royal concubine master, slave should die, please master please be well." .”

Everyone in the capital is in danger, and the eunuchs in the palace are even more frightened. Wanxi is anxious, but she also understands... She knows that the emperor is here because of Sister Lu's death, and secondly, he is worried about her.

If she doesn't get well again, the emperor may not know what will happen to her.

This day Wanxi called Guiyun Boat over, turned away everyone around her, and only lowered her head, "I dreamed of Old Turtle Grandpa last night. Old Turtle Grandpa was sitting in a deer cart, waiting in front of you with a smile on his face." On the side of the road. I think the old man came to pick me up."

Guiyun Sampan shuddered, but tried his best to restrain himself, instead he smiled lightly, "Empress, noble concubine, look, this elder of this humble minister can be nicknamed 'Old Turtle' by the emperor and empress, and he is an old man. Riding a deer cart... These turtles and deer are originally spiritual beasts that imply longevity, why are they together like this, waiting for the imperial concubine on the side of the road, it means that the imperial concubine's illness will be cured soon after seeing it. The imperial concubine will surely live a thousand years."

Wanxi also smiled, "You are right, I am willing to believe it."

Wanxi said to herself inwardly: "The imperial doctor Gui was pushed into a hurry by her."But it's good for Gui Yunjie to think so.

She turned her eyes lightly, "I also feel that I'm going to get better! Returning to the imperial doctor, from tomorrow onwards, you can rest assured to report to the emperor that I'm fine~"

Gui Yun was shocked, and hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, "Imperial concubine, you must not do it, that humble minister is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Besides, the emperor is already proficient in medical science, even if the humble minister puts his head on it, he can't hide it from the emperor after all!"

Wanxi smiled palely, "How could I ask you to commit the felony of deceiving the emperor? I mean, after all, my illness has recovered, and there is already the auspicious omen of the old man, isn't it?"

Wanxi's words were a little hasty, and she coughed a few more times, "This year is an eventful year, Concubine Qing just passed away, such a big incident happened in the previous dynasty, and the military situation in Sichuan has not yet been completely victorious... such a time , You said, how can my little illness make the emperor worry about it again?"

Guiyun sampan entered the palace to serve Wanxi all these years, how could he not understand the character of the imperial concubine?At this time, the imperial concubine and empress are all thinking of the emperor, and he, as an imperial doctor, should also be perfect.

Gui Yunsampan took a deep breath, "I obey the order."
.
On the first day of August, there was another solar eclipse.

It just so happened that such a big event happened in the previous dynasty, and there was a lot of discussion in private, saying that it was right for the emperor to punish Gao Yuncong and a few ministers who had inquired about the records of the Taoist government, but the emperor sent Shu Hede, who had nothing to do with the matter, , Yinglian, and even the Jiuqing of the court have been admonished, which is a bit immoral.

The heavens used a solar eclipse to warn the emperor; what's more, it was only the solar eclipse on the first day of August, which was originally the month of the emperor's longevity.

Wanxi was even more worried, so she urged Guiyun to let the emperor know, saying that her illness had recovered and she was fine.

After hearing this, the emperor was overjoyed.

Although he himself is good at medical science, as a doctor, he has always been unable to heal his family members, because his heart will be disturbed; so Wanxi's illness, especially after Yuqin passed away, the emperor dared not go to visit Wanxi in person Xi's pulse is gone.

——He was just afraid that what he detected might not be the pulse he hoped for.This is more dependent on Gui Yunsampan and other imperial doctors.

Hearing what Gui Yunjie said at this moment, he naturally would rather believe it, and never wanted to have any doubts.

It seems to be afraid, once doubted, that day's will will be broken.

The emperor was overjoyed, and on the first day of the eighth lunar month, he even issued an order to start preparations for the Longevity Ceremony.He wants this summer resort to be lively from now on, to sweep away the haze of Yuqin's passing away from Jiu'er's head!
For this reason, the emperor even sent an edict to the capital on the first day of the eighth month, telling the princes to come back quickly.Especially Xiaoshiwu, he had to let go of his sorrow for Yuqin at this moment, and make Jiu'er happy first!

On the fourth day of the eighth month, the emperor went out, accompanied by: eighth elder brother, eleventh elder brother, twelve elder brother, fifteenth elder brother, Miande elder brother, Mianen elder brother, Mianyi elder brother.

The eighth elder brother Yongxuan, the twelfth elder brother Yongxuan, and the fifteenth elder brother Yongyan who were wearing filial piety in Beijing before have all returned to the summer resort from central Beijing by this day.For the Emperor's Longevity Day, he took off his filial piety and began to prepare for a joyous celebration.

August [-]th is the Emperor's Longevity Festival, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, the emperor set off on August [-]th to go to Mulan for a siege.

The emperor was hesitant at first, whether he should stay Wanxi in the summer resort to raise his health this year.But Wanxi wanted to go by herself, so the emperor also smiled and said, "Whatever you say, it is what you say."

Why didn't the emperor understand that the Mulan paddock was a place of affection for the two of them.Even after more than 30 years, the low starlight that day and the emotional embrace back then are still vivid in my memory; or in other words, no matter how many years later, I will never forget them.
.
This time when I went to Mulan, Sister Lu was gone; Concubine Ying stayed in the capital to take care of Xiao Shiqi.

Concubine Shu takes the place of Wanxi to serve the Empress Dowager, and the only ones who can accompany Wanxi are Concubine Rong and Guiren Lin.

Although Xin Changzai and Ming Changzai are people who can be assured, after all, their status is too low to be able to come to Wanxi.

Wanxi was with Concubine Rong all the way, but she didn't want to bring up the sad things, but after all, she couldn't help talking about Sister Lu from time to time.Said, "Ah, look, here outside the window, when Sister Lu came with me..."

After speaking, it is inevitable to cry again.

Concubine Rong also felt uncomfortable.Although she entered the palace late, but the years of getting along with each other made her understand the relationship between Imperial Concubine Huang and Concubine Qing.

Or, if there were no imperial concubine, there would be no exception for Qing Guifei, who was able to become a noble concubine as a Han woman and childless.

But Concubine Rong is also a discerning person, she can always see that the emperor treats Imperial Concubine Huang and Concubine Qing differently.

In terms of the treasures of the imperial concubine of the two, the treasures obtained by Wanxi's imperial concubine Ling in those years were: ten pages of seventy gold albums, weighing 140 seven taels; , with a total weight of 17 taels of cicada and francium.

And Yuqin’s Qing Guifei book treasure is: ten pages of six-color gold book, weighing 150 taels; one six-color gold treasure, weighing one, two, three, and two cents; money.

The book treasure of the imperial concubine is also made of gold, and it is clear whether it is superior or inferior.

In addition to the book treasures for the imperial concubine, there are also court beads.

When Wanxi was the imperial concubine, there were already pearls in the chaozhu, and the shape was almost the same as that of the empress; while Yuqin's Qing imperial concubine period, the shape of the chaozhu declined. The shape of the bit is similar to that of the bead.

In the final analysis, even though she was unwilling to tell the truth in front of the imperial concubine, the fact was: even if a woman with the same surname of Han was promoted to the imperial concubine, in the emperor's heart, the imperial concubine Ling was always higher than the imperial concubine Qing.
