The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 684 Love Knot ([-])

Hearing what Li Jian said, the emperor ordered Bai Changqing to enter the Changchun Palace to treat Wanyu carefully.

Although he didn't investigate whether the antidote entered Shen Ye's stomach, what the two of them said in the veranda, he didn't blame Wannai.But the doubts in my heart seem to be like vines spreading on the water surface. Once they take root, they will grow unscrupulously and wildly, and there is no way to get rid of them.

Three days later, Zhuo Lan, the concubine of Jia, was promoted to the Sixth Palace of Xiaoyu, the imperial concubine, and the emperor seized the power of the Sixth Palace from Wannai on the grounds that she was ill and should not work hard, and handed it over to Zhuo Lan.

On the first day of June in the 30th year of Kangxi, Prince Yinfeng got married.

We welcome Li Jia and Lin into Yuqing Palace together, enshrine Li Jia as Shufu Jin, and take charge of the affairs of the East Palace on behalf of him.Lin is a concubine and serves the East Palace.

The prince's wedding banquet is a happy event for the palace.

Wan Lai, who had just recovered from a stab wound, lived alone in the Changchun Palace, and only felt a headache when she heard the joyful sound of whips being fired all day long.

During the hot summer season, Magnolias blooms everywhere in the courtyard, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

She put on a thin cloak and stayed on the bed, and carefully trimmed the flower branches in the courtyard.

Since that day when she was moved back to Changchun Palace, she never cried or laughed again.

Because she said she couldn't afford it, she refused a group of concubines who pretended to be courteous to visit her. Even Lin Lan repeatedly asked to see her, but she was also turned away.

Later that day, firecrackers were set off in the palace, roaring, and the sky exploded with colorful flowers.

Most of the palace people on duty in the Changchun Palace gather in the courtyard to watch, only Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo are attentively serving Wan Yu.

Yun Chan put a soothing ointment on the scar on Wanyu's shoulder blade. Seeing the dark red bulge, she didn't feel sad.

Wan Lai didn't answer, she rested her arms on the table and put her cheeks on her hands, the fireworks outside Ren Ling's window reflected her face beautifully.

Shuangruo winked at Yunchan, turned her smile and said: "The emperor is worried that the empress is too hurt to move around, so the special orderer brought the wedding cake from the prince's wedding to the palace for the empress to eat, so as to be happy. The empress can't have dinner How much, wouldn't it be better if the servants use it to quarrel with the empress right now?"

Wanyu waved her hand slightly, and said calmly: "I see that Yin likes to eat sweets, if he hasn't slept yet, I can give it to him."

Shuang Ruo retreated in response, and at the gate of the hall, she ran into Lin Lan who had come from behind the stars.

She was overjoyed, and hurriedly whispered in Lin Lan's ear: "Your Majesty is bored, Madam De Concubine should try to persuade her."

Lin Lan's complexion turned pale, she coughed twice and replied in a hoarse voice: "This palace is just thinking about this matter, so I slipped out from the east palace to see my sister."

"Your Majesty is sick?" Shuang Ruo swept her back.

Lin Lan waved her hands: "It's okay, you're busy with your errands." Then she opened the bead curtain hanging from the floor and entered the bedroom.

Wanna heard the commotion, raised her eyes to look at her, pointed to the vacant seat beside her and said, "Sit down."

Lin Lan coughed twice, and after she was seated, Yun Chan offered some refreshments, she took a sip slowly and said, "Sister, it means we haven't seen each other for a month."

Wan Yu nodded and said, "It's a good thing that we can still meet each other now."

Lin Lan gave a gentle smile, and took Wan Yu's slightly cold hand: "That matter just sounds dangerous, but fortunately, my sister survived."

"Yeah, I made it through." Wan Yu's eyes were still fixed on the bright fireworks rising from the night sky.

The fireworks exploded in her eyes, leaving only loneliness after the splendor.

'cough cough'

Lin Lan gave a strong cough again, and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

This was quite a commotion, which provoked Wan Yu to fix her eyes on her face.

Taking a closer look, Lin Lan was really haggard after not seeing her for a month.

Her cheeks were haggard and pale, her lips were covered with chapped lines, she was weak like a crumbling leaf, and the backs of her hands, which were originally smooth and white, also had bulging veins.

Only then did she frowned, with some concern, and asked nervously: "What's wrong with you? How did you become so sick? What did the imperial doctor say after seeing it?"

Lin Lan waved her hands, and said that it was too cold and hastily dismissed it.

"Sister, Shen Ye will die when she dies, but you have to cheer up. Concubine Jia has lost all face in front of the emperor. Since you were deprived of the power to assist the Sixth Palace, she should be respected among concubines. Today, every day Greetings, we are all the ones who went to her Yongshou Palace. She took advantage of her pregnancy and no one to check her, so her temperament became more and more domineering. Anyone below the concubine invited Ann Wan to go, it was a blow."

Wan Lai listened carefully to what she said, and shook her head with a half-smile and said: "I heard that after the crown prince gets married, the emperor will go to Changchun Garden to stay for a few months. Do you want to take her?"

Lin Lan shook her head: "I wanted to take it with me, but she was pregnant and couldn't move, so I gave up the idea. The rest of the concubines and concubines will go together, can my sister go too?"

"Me?" Wanyu laughed at herself: "I've been sick for a month, have you ever heard him mention me? He doesn't want to face me anymore, what does he want me to do?"

"Sister, if you don't go, don't you want to stay in the palace and face that bitch day and night?" Lin Lan raised her voice angrily, forcing herself to cough again and again.

The sound came into my ears, and I was startled when I heard it.

She patted Lin Lan's chest lightly, and persuaded, "How long have you been sick like this? What does the imperial doctor say? If it doesn't work, I'll ask Bai Changqing to show you."

Lin Lan's expression was a bit cramped, and she refused with words: "It's common to have a cold, why bother Bai Changqing? The previous one just got this disease, and it's better after taking a few doses of medicine." She took a sip of hot tea and took a moment to relax. Angrily, he said again: "If my sister doesn't go, I will stay with you. It is not suitable for me to be tired. The emperor is afraid of seeing my sister, and even more afraid of seeing me. My sister knows that I am the only one with my sister in the palace. If you can speak a few words, if you move to Changchun Garden and live for a few months without someone who can tell the truth by your side, you will always die of suffocation."

"If you're in better shape, let's go with you. I've noticed that not only Concubine Yi, but Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui have gradually become restless recently. Chen Zhuolan is getting more and more powerful. With you staring at them, you won't be able to call them out." And I made a wrong idea, so that you and I were attacked by the enemy."

Lin Lan pondered for a moment, then solemnly nodded her head in response.

"Sister." She held Wanyu's hand even tighter, and said in a low voice, "I know you are suffering, but you still have me."

Wanyu knew that she must have heard something she shouldn't have heard from Yun Chan or Shuang Ruo when she said this.

She smiled and shook her head, hindering Linlan from coughing continuously, she closed the ling window slightly so that she would not catch the wind again: "Is there anyone in this palace who is not bitter? It's just that he has tasted all the bitterness earlier , and there will be no more pain in the future.”

"My sister really likes him in her heart, right?"

She asked a question suddenly, which made Wanyu stunned.

Lin Lan leaned closer to her, leaning her head on her shoulder and leaning into her arms: "No matter what the outcome is, my sister deserves the attention of others. Now that he is gone, he must only hope for my sister's well-being."

"Yes, he always looks forward to my well-being."

Wan Lai turned her back, facing the gorgeous fireworks in the sky, showing a bright smile.

Smiling, eyes hazy, tears flowing into the corners of her lips along the shallow nasolabial folds.

That tears are so bitter.
