The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 101 Concubine Blood (4)

Xia Lanyue didn't answer, but asked instead: "Then why are you here?"

"I've been eating vegetarian food and praying here these years. Occasionally, concubines come here, but they come and go in a hurry. You are the first concubine who has been here for many days in a row. You can kneel for half a day." Chen Jun interjected. Haoxiang then walked slowly to Xia Lanyue's side, knelt down on the other tufted cattail, clasped her palms lightly, with a pious attitude.

Hearing this, Xia Lanyue suddenly remembered why she was so familiar with her name. The queen in the palace was named Wan Chenjun, and she was the niece of the Empress Dowager Wan. Since the third month after entering the palace, she didn't ask about the harem. Eat fast and chant Buddha.She hurriedly said: "The concubine pays respects to the empress."

Wan Chenjun still knelt devoutly in front of the Avalokitesvara statue, without looking at Xia Lanyue, he just said: "In this harem, the empress has long been considered empty, and now there is only disciple Chen Jun in this Ci Nian Zhai."

"Go down, I want to worship the Buddha alone." Wan Chenjun's voice was cold in vain, and he gave the order to drive away the guests.

Xia Lanyue slowly got up from the tuanpu and backed out.

This is the first time I saw this empress in the palace. She has not asked about the affairs of the palace for many years, but after talking today, it can be found that she really knows the affairs of the court like the back of her hand.

Looking back, although she doesn't ask about the affairs of the palace, she is still the queen, and behind her is the Queen Mother Wan.The only thing that puzzled her was why Lord Wan Chen retired from the Ci Nian Zhai after the third month of entering the palace, which is also difficult for everyone to understand.

"The Country Is Still" Author: Murong Yuer——
After leaving the Ci Nian Zhai, the sky was already gray, and the palace people in charge of lighting the lanterns began to light palace lanterns in each palace, but the Ci Nian Zhai was cold and silent, and the palace staff delayed lighting the lamps, so Qiu Bi could only hold the lamps in front, Qiu Yao Supported by his side, he walked forward slowly.

Under the gray sky, a figure suddenly flashed by, rushing towards Xia Lanyue, Qiu Bi immediately stood in front of Xia Lanyue and scolded: "Who is so frizzy, and bumped into Master Lan!"

The figure knelt down immediately, with a trembling voice: "Lady Lan, save me."

Qiu Bi immediately raised the lamp, illuminated the kneeling person, and recognized that this person was Mei Xiang, the maid next to Concubine Zheng Duan. At this time, her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"Save you? Maybe Concubine Duan is more capable of saving you." Xia Lanyue smiled coldly, vaguely remembering that this Mei Xiang once slapped Su Zhaoyuan's mouth in Xiafeng Garden.

"The one who hurt me is Concubine Duan! Only you, nobleman Lan, can save me now!" Mei Xiang cried and kowtowed to Xia Lanyue, her tone full of anxiety.

"Why does Concubine Duan want to harm you?" Xia Lanyue was puzzled.

Mei Xiang opened her mouth, looked around the dark surroundings warily, then lowered her voice and said, "Because this servant knows too much about Concubine Duan, she wants to kill me to silence me. Just now I overheard Concubine Duan quietly I told Lu Hai to kill me secretly, so I escaped hastily, after thinking about it, only you can save me."

"Why should I save you?" Xia Lanyue only felt that there must be something strange in it.

"Lady Lan, do you still remember the big fire in the Nishang Pavilion earlier? Concubine Duan ordered the slaves to set it free. Because she was humiliated in Xiafeng Garden, she transferred all her resentment to you, so she asked the slaves to set it on fire and burn it to death." You. But in the end, you were not burned to death. Instead, she was promoted to a nobleman. She was afraid that her deeds would be exposed, so she wanted to kill the servant to silence her. So only you, Lan nobleman, can save the servant. If you can save the life of the servant, the servant is willing to be in front of the emperor. Testify what Concubine Duan did." Mei Xiang said every word and every word was extremely sincere, and it didn't look like it was fake.

When Xia Lanyue heard this, her whole body was filled with anger, wishing to put Concubine Duan to death immediately, but her face was as cold as frost, she never revealed a trace of anger, but she was also secretly guessing in her heart whether what Mei Xiang said was true or not.
