Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 84 As long as you live, there will be hope
After chatting with Mingqi today, I followed Mingqi's wishes and handed over the planning of the year-end palace banquet to Zhang Ruoqi, Xiayun and Li Wan.After letting go, except for the occasional report from Qihe, he never handled anything else.

According to Qihe, among the three, the boss is the quickest and the best at handling things.But Qi Xiayun is safer than Zhang Ruo, Qi Xiayun can think of many things that Chang Ruo can't think of.On the contrary, Li Wan's performance is not bad, but she can't be said to be excellent, continuing her usual moderate style.

The palace banquet was organized by Chang Ruo and three people. With the help of Qi He, the year-end settlement and year-end budget were completed in a few days, so after the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month passed, I was free.

After I was free, I stayed in the Changwu Hall to read a book every day, and sometimes I would go to the yard to bask in the sun when the sun was good.

On December [-]th, after having breakfast, I took a book as usual and lay on the recliner to read, but I didn't read it for long, and when I was falling asleep, I saw Qihe walking in.

"What's the matter?" I saw Qi He came in with a solemn face, so I opened my mouth before she could speak.

"Queen Mother, Concubine Han Yuting wanted to see you again at Chenyang Palace today." Qi He said, and frowned after speaking.

Han Yuting was imprisoned in Chenyang Palace on the eighth day of December. Since she entered, she has been clamoring to see me every day.

Although Han Yuting entered Chenyang Palace because of her adultery status, but because her father and brother are not low in the army and hold military power, even though the nuns on duty in Chenyang Palace knew that Han Yuting had no life There is no possibility of a comeback, but every time Han Yuting makes a fuss, she will still come to my side to report.

"What's going on with her today?" After hearing Qi He's words, I frowned like her and asked.

Before today, although I would hear reports from Chen Yanggong on duty that Han Yuting wanted to see me every day, I never agreed to see her. At first it was because I was busy, but later I didn’t want to go.

And when Han Yuting saw me and kept refusing to see her, she became more and more violent. At first she just went on a hunger strike, and later she self-destructed.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubine Han Yuting knocked over the candles in the house last night, almost burning Chen Yanggong down." Qi He replied.

Han Yuting was stripped of her position as Zhaoyi by me, and I didn't give her other titles. After all, her identity is a servant, so she can't call Han Yuting by her full name directly, so that she can be called Han Yuting directly as the sinful concubine Han Yuting.

As I listened, my eyebrows frowned again, and I asked, "Is she also burned?"

"Back to the queen mother, no." Qihe shook his head at my words, and said: "Because of the queen mother's words, the people in Chenyang Palace have been carefully watching over the sinful concubine Han Yuting, so the sinful concubine Han Yuting just lit the fire I noticed it soon, and then rescued the person and put out the fire."

"However, because it was too late last night, the people from Chen Yang Palace did not come to report. They just took care of the sinful concubine Han Yuting, and they came to report just now." Qi He said, and then said: "Queen Dowager, Han Yuting is getting more and more violent, why don't you go to Chenyang Palace to see her?" After finishing speaking, Qi He glanced at me.

Qihe looked at me cautiously, probably because she was worried that I would get angry because of her words of persuading me to see Han Yuting.

I would not be angry with Qihe, so after seeing Qihe's cautious look, I couldn't help smiling.

"Then go." I said to him after laughing.

In fact, even if Cai Qihe didn't mention it just now, after I heard that Han Yuting was having trouble again, I also thought about going to see Han Yuting.

"promise."

Qihe replied after I said this, and then came over to take the book in my hand and put it down, then helped me stand up again.

The Chenyang Palace where Han Yuting is currently imprisoned is located in the deepest and most remote part of the harem. There are guards outside the palace all the year round.

When Qihe and I arrived at Chenyang Palace, it was still early and the hour had not yet arrived, so the morning sun had not yet reached Chenyang Palace.

"Join, join the Queen Mother."

The two guards guarding the gate outside Chenyang Palace didn't know me, but they obviously knew Qihe, so when Qihe and I appeared at the gate of Chenyang Palace, the expressions on their faces were obviously different. They were startled first, and then saluted me in a panic after regaining consciousness.

"Pingshen." Seeing this, I nodded to the two of them, and brought Qihe into Chenyang Palace.

Due to the coldness of the palace, the inside of Chenyang Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, so as soon as I walked in, I could smell a musty smell.Then I saw that the paint on the walls and utensils inside had already peeled off and faded badly. Everywhere I looked, there was nothing but mottled, old and depressed.

In addition, there are not many people on duty in Chenyang Palace. They walked all the way except for the two guards at the door, until they walked to the door of Han Yuting's prison, only to see two guarding Han Yuting outside the door. A middle-aged nanny.

"See the Queen Mother."

However, like the two guards outside the door, the two nuns were shocked when they saw me and Qihe appearing, and then they knelt down to salute me after recovering.

"Pingshen." Seeing this, I nodded to them again.

"What is Han Yuting doing now?" After nodding with the two middle-aged nuns, I asked them.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, after the servants found out that the concubine Han Yuting set the fire last night, they were worried that the concubine Han Yuting would do something else, so they tied up the concubine Han Yuting all the time." Among the two middle-aged nuns, the slightly fatter one stood on the right side of me. After speaking, she replied that she called Han Yuting like a lotus.

"The Ai family knows." I nodded after the nanny's words, and then said: "Open the door, the Ai family will go in and have a look at her."

"promise."

After I said this, the two nuns each took out a key and opened the two locks on the door of Han Yuting's room.

The room where Han Yuting was imprisoned was not small, it was a suite with inlaid interior and exterior.The place where you just entered the door is the outer room, with tables and chairs.After entering through the curved wooden arch of the outer room, the inner room is the sleeping room.

I walked from the outside to the inside with my load, and the two middle-aged nuns followed me after I entered the house.As soon as he entered, he saw Han Yuting lying tied to the bed in the inner room.

Compared with more than ten days ago, although Han Yuting's clothes at this time were not deliberately withheld according to my orders, they were not as bright as when she was Zhaoyi in the past.

At that time, Han Yuting's eyes were closed, and she didn't know if she was asleep.Her face was haggard, the corners of her eyes were black and swollen, and there were some scars on her face and neck that she had made herself.

"Untie her." Seeing Han Yuting like this, I couldn't bear it, so I said.

"promise."

After hearing what I said, the two nuns who followed walked towards Han Yuting.

But Han Yuting, who had her eyes closed, opened them suddenly after our words, and looked at us.

"Queen Mother!" Seeing that it was me, Han Yuting first opened her eyes, and then called out to me.

I don't know if Han Yuting calmed down after being tied up all night. I saw that after the two nuns untied her, she didn't rush towards me frantically for more than ten days, but got out of bed directly. Knelt down in front of me.

"Queen Mother, please trust me, Chen Qie was really framed, Chen Qie really didn't let the emperor down." After kneeling down in front of me, Han Yuting said, and as soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes. It flowed out.

Seeing Han Yuting like this, I finally sighed slightly, then turned to Qihe and the two nuns and said, "Qihe, you go out first, the Ai family can talk to Han Yuting for a while."

"promise."

Qihe blessed me after my words, but the two nuns, when they first heard that I was going to be alone with Han Yuting, they all yelled in surprise: "Queen Mother, no!"

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Han Yuting was born in a martial arts family. It is extremely difficult to subdue her every time she goes crazy. It is really inappropriate for you to be alone with her, Empress Dowager." After screaming, the slightly fatter one of the two nuns said to me.

I frowned when I heard this, and looked down at Han Yuting.But seeing Han Yuting's body shrunk when she saw me looking at her after the nanny's words, but she didn't refute the nanny's words just now.

"It's done, the Ai family has its own measure." I looked at Han Yuting's appearance and said.

The nanny still had a look of disapproval after what I said, and was about to speak, but was held back by another nanny who rarely spoke.

"No, this servant will leave." After the seldom-spoken nanny grabbed the fatter nanny, she dragged the fatter nanny and kissed my lower body together, and then dragged someone out the door.

After everyone withdrew, only my good friend Han Yuting was left in the room. I took another look at Han Yuting, then walked to the main seat in the room and sat down.

"Han Yuting, do you resent Aijia in your heart?" After sitting down, I looked at Han Yuting and asked.

And Han Yuting shrank her eyes and pupils again after my words, but she shook her head again and again after a moment, and said with panic on her face: "I don't have any, I don't dare."

"No, you have." I looked at Han Yuting with certainty and said.

"Han Yuting, you are hating the Ai family. You have cut off your Zhaoyi position without finding out what happened to the Ai family, and sent you to Chenyang Palace. After that, after you begged to see the Ai family many times, trying to When I explained the truth to Ai's family, Ai's family never came to see you and refused to listen to your explanation." I looked at Han Yuting and said.

"Is there no concubine?"

Han Yuting wanted to deny it just after I finished saying this, but after seeing me keep looking into her eyes, she swallowed the words of denial, and the panic that had just appeared on her face faded away.

After the panic faded from her face, Han Yuting raised her head and looked at me too.

"Yes, I hate the Queen Mother." Han Yuting said, looking straight into my eyes.

At this time, perhaps because Han Yuting hated me in her heart, she didn't even call herself a concubine, but called herself 'I'.

"I hate the Queen Mother, as the lord of the harem, after knowing that I was framed, you not only refused to give me justice, found out the truth for me, and returned my innocence, but insisted on punishing me and cutting off my innocence. I will be sent to Chenyang Palace, which is known as the cold palace." Han Yuting said.

And I, hearing Han Yuting's words, sighed again.

"Han Yuting, I want to ask you, you and your cousin Zhu Cheng clearly had sex that day, but it's true?" I sighed, looked at Han Yuting and asked.

Han Yuting didn't answer immediately after my words, she saw that her face immediately became sad as soon as I finished speaking, and she nodded after a long while.

"Yes." Han Yuting nodded and replied, "But,"

"No but." When Han Yuting was about to explain again, I interrupted her directly.

"Han Yuting, in this world, there are many things that only look at the result, not the process and the reason." After I interrupted Han Yuting, I said to Han Yuting.

"Han Yuting, regarding your affair with your cousin Zhu Chengming, whether you did it voluntarily or if you were framed, the result is the same. You are the emperor's concubine, but you have affairs with other men Melon dyed." I said again.

"Queen Mother!" Han Yuting exclaimed after my words.

"And this is your crime, and it is also the reason why Aijia knew that you were framed, but still took your position as Zhaoyi and put you in Chenyang Palace." I exclaimed in Han Yuting After that, he spoke again.

"Do not,"

"Han Yuting, in fact, what Qiu Zhaoyi said is correct. When it comes to the punishment of your affair with Zhu Chengming, Aijia really favored you." I said.

After I said this, Han Yuting looked at me with a puzzled look on her face.

"Han Yuting, even if it's among the people, you'll be soaked in a pig cage, damn it. What's more, it's in the palace? What's more, it's the emperor of Ming Dynasty who was slapped in the face by you?" Han Yuting said with puzzled eyes.

"I,"

"It's just that, Han Yuting, although you deserve to die for your crimes, Aijia thinks that you saved Aijia during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it's just you who cut off your Zhaoyi position." I said, and then said: "Han Yuting, You resent Aijia in your heart, but you don't know that Aijia beat you to Chenyang Palace to save your life." Although, Han Yuting's current life is not necessarily better than death.

Even so, I still want to save Han Yuting's life, because in my opinion, nothing is more important than being alive.I thought that no matter how difficult life is, as long as we live, there will be hope.

After my words, Han Yuting lowered her head and fell silent. She didn't speak for a long time.

I saw Han Yuting like this, and didn't urge her. I just sat there quietly and didn't speak again.

I don't know how long it took, but it was a long while before Han Yuting raised her head and looked straight at me.

"Queen Mother, I would like to ask, if the person that day was replaced by your own sister Qiu Changruo, would you punish her the same way you punished me?" Han Yuting looked at me straight and asked.

"Yes." I didn't hesitate, and after Han Yuting's words, I nodded.

"She will die." I said to Han Yuting.

Han Yuting was stunned after my words, and then laughed softly: "The concubine knows."
