The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 47
Qingchen came out of the garden and saw that Jinxiu had been waiting impatiently and was about to go in to find her. Seeing her come out with two plum blossoms in her arms, she hurriedly took them over and handed the stove to her, "Why did your lord go so long? I was going to die in a hurry, thinking something happened."

Qingchen smiled reassuringly and said: "It's okay, I'm not familiar with this garden, and it took me a long time to find those two plum trees." Feeling that the hand stove in his arms was much warmer than when he came here, he asked again: "Do you add plum trees to the hand stove?" charcoal?"

Jinxiu hugged the plum blossom in one hand, and followed her closely with a lantern in the other, "Not far from the Xiangxue Garden, there is a place where palace maids live. The servants are afraid that the nobles will come out cold, so they go to ask them for a few pieces of charcoal."

"It's still your thoughtfulness." Qingchen looked back and smiled, "This green calyx plum is so unique, if I wasn't afraid of causing trouble for Sister Ye, I really wanted to give her a branch."

Jinxiu said with a smile: "Ye Jieyu also likes plum blossoms. Your lord will just give her a branch of purple jade sandalwood plums from our garden. We are the only ones in the whole palace that have this kind of plum blossoms. They are more precious than the green calyx plum blossoms." too much."

Qingchen wrapped her cloak, and stepped on the thick snow carefully, for fear that she would slip if she was not careful, "Alright, then you pick two good-looking ones tomorrow morning, and we will send them to Sister Ye and Gu Changzai. "

Jinxiu hurriedly agreed, and when the master and servant passed by the Royal Garden, she saw the imperial physician Sun Dexin hurrying towards the Huayu Palace with a medicine box. She thought to herself, now only Gu Manqin is left in the Huayu Palace. To recuperate, could it be that she is not well?
When she returned to Yinfengxuan, she sent Xiao Yinzi to inquire about the news. Not long after she left, Xiao Yinzi hurried back and said, "My lord, it's not that Gu Changzai is not feeling well, it's that something happened to Ye Jieyu. He was drunk and fell from the rockery."

Qingchen was startled when he heard the words, "How is this possible? Ye Jieyu is surrounded by Zhihua and Jingshu, how could she fall off the rockery so easily?"

Xiao Yinzi scratched his head and said, "This slave doesn't know either. The emperor is there, and the slave didn't dare to inquire further, so he hurried back."

Qingchen got up and told Jinxiu, "Let's go and have a look." She prayed in her heart, hoping it was just a drunken wrestling, and not someone else's plan.

Jinxiu hurriedly brought over the big red cloak with feather veil and white fox fur inside, "It's cold at night, should you wear this, sir?"

She was in a hurry, how could she care about these things, and hurriedly got dressed, Jin Xin had brought two palace lanterns to wait, and when she saw her come out, she handed Jinxiu one, and followed Qingchen to Lan Ruo Xuan.

The lights in Lan Ruoxuan were brightly lit, but the court ladies and eunuchs guarding outside were completely silent. A little eunuch would come in to make an announcement, but he came out in a short while and said, "Your Majesty Wan, the emperor wants you to come in."

Jin Xin handed the lantern to the little girl at the side, and stretched out her hand to lift the curtain of the blue felt tuanfu. Qing Chen hurriedly stepped in, and saw that the emperor was sitting on the edge of Ye Hanyu's bed, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Qingchen hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects, "The concubine sees the emperor."

Xiao Jun turned around and saw that her face was slightly red. She thought it was because she was blown by the cold wind while walking all the way, so she said, "Get up, it's so late, why are you here? Didn't you tell me you were sick? Didn't Xuan Yu see it?"

Qingchen hurriedly said: "The concubine is fine. I heard that Ye Jieyu fell, so I came here with a concern in my heart. I don't know if sister Ye is okay?"

Ye Hanyu's head was covered with gauze, her face was as pale as paper, her cheeks were tinged with cyan, she seemed to be extremely annoyed and unable to attack, she gritted her teeth and looked at Qingchen and said: "I just fell down, it's nothing Excuse me, please run this trip again at night."

Qingchen took a closer look at Ye Hanyu's uneasy expression, and saw that she was firmly grasping the brocade mattress with red water chestnut and peony pattern on the bed with both hands. hate?
Qingchen thought for a while and asked, "Is the dinner over? Did my sister accidentally fall down on the way back?"

Xiao Jun glanced at Ye Hanyu, and said softly: "The dinner is not over yet, Ye Jieyu came out for a break after drinking too much wine tonight, who accidentally slipped down from the rockery in the Royal Garden, luckily Concubine Shu was there at the time In the distance, people hurriedly rescued their master and servant."

When Xiao Jun mentioned Concubine Shu, Qing Chen's heart suddenly felt cold, and he raised his eyes to look at Ye Hanyu, and seeing her, his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if the cold light reflected from the sharp blade, but he just gritted his teeth and remained silent, showing no sense of gratitude.

Seeing Ye Jieyu's cold face, Xiao Jun lowered his gaze and said in a warm voice, "I know you were frightened tonight, so don't go out for the next few days and recover from your injuries. Since you said you saw someone on the top of the mountain, I will take care of you." If people investigate this matter carefully, if someone really framed you, I will definitely not forgive you lightly."

Ye Jieyu has always been docile, and the words she said at this moment were somewhat blunt, "Thank you for your concern, the concubine is fine, please go back first, don't delay the palace banquet because of the concubine, the concubine His sin would be great."

Xiao Jun comforted her again and said: "That girl Zhihua, the imperial doctor also showed her just now, and said that she just suffered some skin trauma, and she will be fine after resting for a few days."

"The concubine knows." Ye Jieyu frowned and turned her face away, as if she didn't want to say more.

Xiao Jun patted the back of her hand for fear of her and got up and said: "Then I will go back first, you take good care of your wounds, and I will come to see you some other day." Then she said to Qingchen: "You should go back earlier, don't delay Ye Jieyu's rest .”

Qingchen hurriedly got down, "I understand, my concubine will send you off to the emperor respectfully."

Just now, she couldn't get in their mouth when they were talking. As soon as Xiao Jun left, she hurriedly sat down on Ye Jieyu's couch, held her cold hands and asked, "Sister Ye, what's going on? Are you Do you suspect that Concubine Shu caused you to be so angry?"

Ye Jieyu finally couldn't bear to cry out, grabbed Qingchen's hand and said, "Chen'er, it's Concubine Shu who wants to harm me. I drank a few more glasses tonight, so I wanted to go out to relax." Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the rockery, a big rock rolled down. Fortunately, Zhihua pushed me away in time, but the mountain road was uneven, and the two of us rolled down all the way and fell into the deep pool at the bottom of the mountain. The ice on the surface was cut open. If Zhihua didn't understand water, we would either be stoned to death, or fall into the pool and drown. She has such a vicious heart, she planned so carefully, and wanted to kill me! "

The more Ye Hanyu spoke, the more emotional she became, and at the end, her voice became a little shrill.Affected by her emotions, Qingchen held Ye Hanyu's hand tightly and asked in a trembling voice, "Someone must have deliberately pushed down that rock, did my sister tell the emperor?"

Ye Hanyu's hands were still trembling at this time, I don't know if it was because she was frightened or out of breath, "Of course I said it, but after the emperor sent someone to investigate, the eunuch who came said that the rock was caused by the edge of the mountain. The soil pine collapsed and then rolled down, and nothing suspicious was found, even the ice surface was also carved by the little father-in-law who manages the imperial garden to feed the brocade scales in the pond."
