The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 394 Avoiding Children [Fifteen More]

After a hard exhortation that night, the emperor finally agreed to Wannai's method.

The decree was drafted and decreed that all maids serving in the palace who have reached the age of [-] can receive commercial silver from the House of Internal Affairs and leave the palace to return to their hometowns.

The emperor's move shocked the palace. After all, it violated the family law of the ancestors. Empress Dowager Renxian naturally wanted to say something.

But this matter spread to the ears of the Empress Dowager, but she persuaded the Empress Dowager Renxian.

I only know that the world belongs to the emperor, and the rules of the emperor are also the family law of the ancestors. The slaves and maidservants who look at the palace are pitiful. If they can leave the palace earlier, they may be able to get married and have children. Who worships the emperor's benevolence?
Sure enough, one month after the implementation of this move, more than half of the expenses in the harem had been saved, and even the praise of the emperor from the people was overwhelming. It is the blessing of the people to call this Mingjun.

The emperor is a person who attaches great importance to public opinion and his own reputation. He is so supported by the people, so it is natural to credit this credit to Wan Yu.For a moment, Wan Lai became even more in the limelight, trying to overshadow Rong Yue.

The servants in Changchun Palace are all young and capable, only Shuang Ruo is old enough to leave the palace.

Wan Lai comforted her for a long time, but she couldn't resist Shuang Ruo's stubborn temper.

He only said that he has no relatives outside the palace, his only relative is Wannai, and his home is Changchun Palace.

In this way, Wanyu doesn't force her, but treats her with more affection and care in the future.

This year's midsummer is quite hot, and the water splashed in the courtyard at noon evaporates in a short time.

The earth is scorching, but the snakes and rats in the palace are abnormal. They used to be afraid of people to hide from their caves, but now they run around in the courtyard all day long in such hot weather, but they are not afraid of the palace people chasing them.

All kinds of livestock raised by the food department in the palace roared endlessly day and night, even the golden pheasant crowed day and night, which was very similar to the phrase "chicken essence" that Shen Ye inadvertently mentioned in the pavilion that day.

Flying birds often migrate southward in dense clouds, but due to the intense heat, occasionally some birds fall from the sky due to the unbearable heat, and dead bodies are everywhere.

Such an abnormal incident caused panic among people, and there were different opinions for a while.

In order to quell the criticism in the palace, Rong Yue ordered the Qin Tianjian to report to the emperor that the celestial phenomenon is different, which indicates that our dynasty's war is about to win.

Rong Yue's body is always cold, so this kind of heat is nothing to her.

But how can everyone in Hegong withstand such heat?Especially the concubines, they have to enter Chengqian Palace diligently every day to pay their respects.

Everyone knows that Chengqian Palace never uses ice. After going in and out like this, everyone goes in refreshed, and comes out all purple and greasy.The cloak on his body made him wish he could squeeze out the water.

After a few days of tossing like this, Wan Yu suffered from heatstroke and fell ill.

The general was raised in the palace for two days, and the imperial physician was never sent to see her, until that day when Yunchan was really struggling to see her, so she secretly called Bai Changqing.

At that time Wanyu was falling asleep on the couch, Yunchan and Bai Changqing walked to her side lightly, followed by Yunchan's movements gently put Wanyu's arms on the side of the couch, Bai Changqing took out a plain towel and covered it, Then he began to diagnose Wanyu's pulse.

But Fang probed the pulse for a while, Wanyu heard the movement and suddenly woke up, seeing that it was the two of them, she said angrily: "Bold! What are you doing?"

She hurriedly withdrew her arm, then stared blankly at Bai Changqing and Yun Chan and said, "They have been serving by Ben Gong's side for a long time, and they are becoming more and more unruly! Make a claim?"

Seeing that Wanya was furious due to her illness, Yun Chan felt self-blame for a moment, knelt down and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this servant is thinking about your body, Your Majesty. In such a scorching heat day, the palace is already suffering from The summer heat has passed by many palace people, and the servants are really "

"Yunchan, stop talking." Bai Changqing calmly interrupted Yunchan, his eyes were fixed on Wanyu, and it took him a long time to say: "Did you do this by yourself?"

Wan Lai silently nodded when she heard the words.

Yun Chan was confused listening to the conversation between the two, so she asked, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Bai Changqing ignored her, but turned serious, frowned and said to Wanyu: "Your Majesty, do you know how serious this is?"

"Why don't you know?" Wan Lai smiled wryly and shook her head: "It's not the first time, I understand my body."

Seeing Bai Changqing saying something she couldn't understand, Yun Chan was so shocked that she pushed him on the shoulder and said, "What is it! Don't scare me!"

Bai Changqing sighed helplessly: "Concubine Wan, she used Bizi's decoction without authorization."

avoid child?

Yun Chan was shocked, and hurriedly reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about! Your empress is all about seeking a child, how can you use the decoction to avoid children? You."

"Yunchan." Wanyu called her softly: "Bai Changqing is right, you don't need to reprimand him. It's me, I don't want to have an imperial heir."

"Ma'am, why is this?"

Wan Yu sneered and said: "Do you still remember that Bai Changqing used to test out Bengong's body in the past, and there were signs of using musk?"

The two nodded silently, and Wan Yu said again: "Think about it, the emperor is guarding against the elder sister, how can he not be guarding against me? I couldn't find the reason in the past, but the person who wanted to harm me was not someone else, but me. It’s just the person next to you.”

Words fall, all are speechless.

Later, after Bai Changqing prescribed the medicine to relieve the heat, Yun Chan sent her out of Changchun Palace.

After decocting the medicine and serving Wanyu, Yun Chan shed tears silently.

Wan Yu calmly wiped away her tears and asked, "It's alright, why are you crying?"

"Your Majesty." Yun Chan held Wanyu's hand in her palm: "Your Majesty is an excellent person. She is good to us and better to the emperor. Your Majesty is my empress. Even so, you can't hold your own." Are you kidding yourself?"

Wan Yu said: "I can be considerate of the emperor, he is the king of the world, so he must not be my husband. I knew these things early in the morning, but I am so infatuated."

"Ma'am, did the imperial concubine tell you about this?"

Wan Yu nodded indifferently, and Yun Chan said angrily: "What is her intention? Your Majesty treats her like that, she actually..."

"We are good to others, sometimes, in the eyes of others, it is a sharp weapon to hurt her. I don't blame her for telling me this, but I want to thank her for making me see the way in front of me." Wan Lai Lie down slowly, loosen the quilt a little, and then said: "Go and add some new ice, I'm tired, I want to take a rest."

With tears in her eyes, Yun Chan added new ice to Wanyu, then held up a round fan, stood beside her, and gently helped her to breathe in the wind: "Your Majesty, go to sleep, this servant is here to guard you and fan you."

Wanyu's eyes were closed tightly, with a slight smile, she fell asleep.
