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

Chapter 145: The Passion of Shaohua (3)

That day, Xia Lanyue didn't have any appetite, she simply drank a few sips of soup and then went to rest on the bed. She didn't say a word for the whole day, the whole Hehuan Palace was lifeless, which depressed the hearts of all the people in the palace. Don't dare to talk nonsense.

Until late at night, Xia Lanyue, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the bell in the palace. She suddenly sat up from the bed, and was about to turn over and get out of bed, when she saw Qiu Bi hurriedly pushed the door and entered with a serious face. Looking at Xia Lanyue carefully, she said, "Your Majesty..."

"Qiu Bi, what happened in the palace? Why did the death knell sound?" Xia Lanyue knew very well in the past few years in the palace that when the bell rang, someone died in the palace. The only death knell was the emperor, empress, and queen mother. Only when the bell rings at this moment, it is clear that someone has left this world.

"Empress Empress, died." Qiu Bi's face was full of sadness, and when she said this, her voice trembled slightly.

"You mean empress?" Xia Lanyue's mind was clouded, and she came back to her mind after a short pause. She got out of bed suddenly, quickly put on her clothes and put on fox fur and mink fur, and strode out of the bedroom.

The night when the death knell rang, even if the entire palace was brightly lit, it was hard to hide the desolation. Xia Lanyue walked quickly along the long corridor, feeling the cold wind of the night, and her whole body became numb.

She couldn't believe it. Just a few days ago, they were drinking tea and chatting together, but they died today. Wan Chenjun was still so young, how could he die like this?
The moment I entered the Queen's Palace, I could only hear the sound of crying inside, all the palace people knelt down on the ground, the empress dowager and the emperor stood in the palace with pained faces, all the concubines rushed over one after another, but they were caught by the imperial guards. The army stopped outside the hall and did not allow anyone to enter the hall.

Xia Lanyue was also stopped outside the hall, and could only watch what was happening inside the hall from a distance. She saw the queen lying peacefully on the bed, so peaceful, but she seemed to be asleep.

Mu Yanran, who was standing beside Xia Lanyue, looked at everything inside with a blank expression, and said calmly: "It's a pity, Queen, it's enough to stay in the compassionate house, eat fast and chant Buddha, why bother to come out and master the harem?" .”

Hearing Mu Yanran's words, Xia Lanyue's face turned cold, and she said to her: "The empress has just died, the truth is unknown, but Concubine Shu is making sarcastic remarks here, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you?"

Mu Yanran looked at Xia Lanyue with a cold face, and taunted: "I've only been friends with the queen for a few days, so you can't wait to maintain it? Look at the sadness in your eyes, are you worried about losing the queen as a backer?"

"The empress has only been in charge of the harem for a few days. Although she hasn't made friends with you, she has never made things difficult for you. Human nature is good. Even a person who has never met will have a heart of compassion when encountering an accident, let alone seeing each other every day. My empress, how dare I ask Concubine Shu about your nature?" Xia Lanyue said every word and every word very sincerely, and there was an anger that could not be ignored in her tone.

It was the first time Mu Yanran saw Xia Lanyue being so aggressive, she was forced to be speechless for a moment, and paused for a moment.

It was Shi Jingrou, who came belatedly, who picked up the words: "The servant girl's aura is really different when she becomes a concubine, and she will never give in to her former master."

At this time, the concubines present no longer paid attention to what happened in the bedroom, but watched the confrontation outside the palace with interest.

With the support of Ding Xiang, Shi Jingrou walked to Mu Yanran, smiled slowly at her, and then shot Xia Lanyue with sharp eyes: "You said that human nature is kind, but you used this tone of accountability to talk to your former master , have you ever thought about how much this master trusted you at the beginning, but you became her husband's woman behind her back, how can you say that you are so rebellious?"
