Qingxi Palace Crossing Jingfenghua

Chapter 217

Xiu Yu sent Qing Luo out early in the morning to inquire about news, and after breakfast, she leaned on the couch and read a book while waiting for news from outside. Yun Kui came in with a medicine pot and a small stove.

"Your Majesty, the medicine is ready, do you want to smoke it now?"

"Smoke, why don't you smoke it, just lighten it up." Her illness can't be cured as soon as the emperor comes back, isn't it, isn't it obvious that she is pretending to be sick by telling others.

Today is the day for the emperor to return to the palace, but Concubine Wen, who is in charge of palace affairs, has not sent anyone to inform her. Concubine Wen is so secretive that even her palace servants in Jingren Palace can't find out the news. If it wasn't for her spiritual sense' I overheard the news while watching Yanxi Palace, I'm afraid she was still kept in the dark.I didn't get anyone to call, so I don't know whether Concubine Wen forgot accidentally or on purpose.

Xiu Yu thought about Concubine Wen's thoughts in her heart, and said that it was impossible to forget about it. Concubine Wen had so many servants waiting around her, even if she was so busy that she forgot, there would still be servants who would remember and remind her for her. Concubine deliberately pretended to forget.

I'm afraid that Concubine Wen thought that she was ill for a long time and didn't know the news from the palace, so she purposely kept it from her. Concubine Wen was trying to plot against her.One can imagine what Kangxi would think of her if he didn't see her pick him up when he returned to the palace.After that, if the empress dowager sues again, then she will be speechless.

Since she came back from the Compassionate Ning Palace that day, she has been claiming to be ill and living in the palace to recuperate. Of course, this is her last resort, in order to follow the Empress Dowager's mind, and of course, to avoid her wife, Empress Dowager. idea.The Empress Dowager continued to train her and punish her to follow in the cold wind and rain just to make her sick, so she naturally couldn't let the Empress Dowager down.

Sure enough, since she claimed to be sick, she has been checking her pulse and the imperial physician Chen also had an "accident" and had to go home to recuperate. The new imperial physician sent by the imperial physician insisted that she had a cold and needed to rest, and prescribed a bunch of medicines to aggravate her condition.

The imperial doctor's eloquence was so eloquent, if she didn't know that she was pretending to be sick, it would be hard not to believe the imperial doctor's words.

If Xiu Yu still doesn't understand that the Empress Dowager wants her life, then she is really a fool.

Yunkui got the order and fanned the medicine pot in the house to spread the smell of medicine to all parts of the house. This is to prevent someone from coming to Jingren Palace suddenly. How can she say that she is 'ill', and she always needs to take medicine if she is sick. If there is no smell of medicine, that means she is pretending to be sick.

Xiu Yu waited until almost noon before Qingluo hurried back to report.

"Your Majesty, your guess is right. Concubine Wen has just left the palace." Qing Luo stayed outside the Palace of Yanxi Palace for nearly two hours. Although she was wearing a lot of clothes, she was quite cold and her round body was round. His face was flushed with cold.

"Okay, Yun Kui quickly pour her some ginger tea to drive away the cold."

"Thank you, ma'am." After taking the hot ginger tea and green radish, she poured it into a large bowl.

"Yuntang, give Qingluo a seal. You don't have to go out today, just stay in the palace." After Yuntang gave Qingluo the silver, Xiu Yu continued to tell her.

"Slave thank you for your compassion."

"Okay, Yuntang prepares the sedan chair, I'm going to welcome the emperor back to the palace."

"The emperor is coming back?" All the court ladies were surprised, don't blame them, Xiu Yu knew the news of Kangxi's return to the palace but didn't tell them, afraid they would miss her plan.

"Then, would you like to change into your clothes before going?"

"No, Bengong is already sick, isn't it?" With a faint smell of medicine on his body and a slightly haggard face, the appearance of recovering from a serious illness is just right.

At the entrance of Shenwumen Palace, when Xiu Yu arrived, Concubine Wen and many concubines were already waiting there in order.

"Concubine Jing is here." An Fucun's notification sounded, and all the concubines were stunned for a moment before they regained their composure. Obviously they did not expect Xiu Yu to appear, after all, Xiu Yu had been ill for more than half a month.

After saluting, Xiu Yu moved to the right of Concubine Wen and stood side by side with Concubine Wen.

"What's wrong with Concubine Jing, you should take good care of yourself when you're sick." Concubine Wen looked at Xiu Yu with a concerned expression while pinching the handkerchief.

"Sister Concubine Luo Wen is concerned, the Palace is already well."

"Okay, that's fine, my sister has been in confinement for recuperation and I can't bear to disturb my sister." Concubine Wen gave a rare gentle smile, and gave a reason that even she herself didn't believe.

"Sister Concubine Wen is so busy in charge of palace affairs and still misses me, it really touched me."

Xiu Yu's apricot eyes flickered and she held Concubine Wen's hand with a moved expression on her face, pretending, who wouldn't pretend.The women in this harem are all acting queens, pretending, singing and fighting, and all of them are masters of acting.

The corners of Concubine Wen's eyes couldn't help twitching, she said she was touched but she kept calling herself Bengong, Concubine Wen couldn't help wondering if Concubine Jing was mocking her.

Dear, you really guessed right, Xiu Yu was mocking Concubine Wen.

"Hey, it's my younger sister who knows about Bengong. Isn't Bengong just busy these days? Back then, if my sister hadn't refused to help Bengong, Bengong would have been more relaxed." Concubine Wen sighed, her tone full of pity for Xiu Yu.

It was too late for her to hide from the palace affairs, she had nothing to show off, yet she even dared to say anything to help her.She and Concubine Wen are both concubines, if they really want to be in charge of the palace power, it is better to hold the palace power together, even if she is the head of the four, Concubine Wen can't use the word assisting Concubine Jing on her.

"Sister Concubine Wen has really worked hard these days. The imperial concubine is back today, and my sister won't have to work so hard in the future." Xiu Yu herself didn't want to involve the co-ownership at all, but she didn't make Concubine Wen feel better.A sentence of imperial concubine came back and slammed on Concubine Wen's lung tube.

Sure enough, Concubine Wen's complacent face froze for a long time after hearing what Xiu Yu had to say.

But no, the imperial concubine will be here soon, I'm afraid that once the imperial concubine returns to the palace, the palace power will be taken back immediately.

Thinking of this, Concubine Wen gritted her teeth in her heart, handing over the power of the palace, how could she have become a part-time worker for the imperial concubine during this period of time.

Xiu Yu ignored Concubine Wen's entanglement and anger, because she had already seen Kangxi's Long Yu.

Xiu Yu and Concubine Wen led the concubines to greet Kangxi in the front.Kangxi didn't let the two of them squat for too long, but he quickly yelled. After yelling, Kangxi walked up to Xiu Yu and Concubine Wen, comforting them with a gentle and formulaic expression.

"The two concubines have worked hard."

The four concubines are all concubines who have given birth to children for Kangxi, and being able to be ranked among the fourth concubines is somewhat different from other concubines in Kangxi. As for being more important than other concubines, Kangxi has some respect for the four concubines.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, my concubine is not working hard."

In front of everyone, Xiu Yu and Concubine Wen naturally couldn't have spoken intimate words with Kangxi like they usually do in private, and what they said was all bureaucratic.When Kangxi saw that Xiu Yu was sick and was about to take care of her, before she could say a few more words, the imperial concubine stepped forward to interrupt her.

"Your Majesty, all the sisters are probably tired after waiting for a long time. Why don't you go back first and have something to say when the Emperor is free."

"Okay, let's all go back first." The imperial concubine reminded Kangxi to remember more important things, and to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay his respects.Kangxi patted Xiu Yu's hand, the concern in his eyes was very clear.

After sending Kangxi and imperial concubine to the dragon chariot and Phoenix chariot respectively, the four concubines exchanged some polite words, especially Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong cared about Xiu Yu when they saw Xiu Yu's sick expression and worried expression, but their eyes The schadenfreude couldn't hide it, thinking that both of them already knew what happened in the palace, after all, they had a lot of influence in the harem.

Naturally, they couldn't stay long at the gate of the palace, and after a few perfunctory words, the four concubines got on their chariots and left.

When Xiu Yu returned to Jingren Palace, someone immediately reported Kangxi's whereabouts. Sure enough, as in the past, Kangxi went back to Qianqing Palace to change clothes and then drove directly to Compassion Ning Palace.

"The emperor has already gone to the Palace of Compassion and Ning?" Kangxi moved quickly, she was only delayed at the gate of the palace for a while, and Kangxi had already packed up and went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.According to the urgency, she had to hurry.

"Come here, wait for me to change clothes."

Xiu Yu changed into a light and elegant cloak embroidered with orchids, took off the gorgeous jewelry and brightly colored silk flowers on her head, and put on silver jewelry, and immediately went to the Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi didn't stay in the Palace of Compassionate Ning for a long time. He originally wanted to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, talk to the Empress Dowager by the way, talk about his southern tour and his thoughts, but he never expected that he would go to the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion He was still sleeping.Kangxi was shocked and anxious when he heard that the Empress Dowager was not up yet, thinking that something had happened to the Empress Dowager.After Su Mala's explanation, she realized that the Empress Dowager was really just asleep. Of course, Su Mala would not have told the emperor about the Queen Mother's nightmares without the Empress Dowager's permission.

However, Kangxi still saw the unnatural flash across Aunt Su Mala's face. Aunt Su Mala was Kangxi's first teacher. learn.

If Aunt Su Mala didn't tell him, he wouldn't ask. Some things don't need to be asked by Aunt Su Mala.Although Kangxi was outside the palace, he was always informed about the affairs in the palace, and he knew a general idea of ​​what happened in the womb these days.Aunt Su Mala's expression made Kangxi decide in his heart that after returning to the Qianqing Palace, he would recruit the hidden guards to ask what happened in the palace during his absence.

Outside the gate of Qianqing Palace, Xiu Yu was kneeling at the gate of the palace wearing only a single winter cloak. Kangxi could see someone kneeling there when he came back from the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

"Who is there?"

When Kangxi saw Liang Jiugong, he straightened his neck and took a closer look. When he saw that it was Concubine Jing, Liang Jiugong hurriedly reported, "Go back to Long Live, it's Concubine Jing." Ouch, Concubine Jing, what are you doing?
Liang Jiugong waited by Kangxi's side, even if he didn't know much about some things, he knew some clues.Not only did Long live Lord know about the empress dowager's training of Concubine Jing after she left the palace, but also the other concubines who were outside.Knowing that Concubine Jing was ill and has not recovered until now, I am really worried that Concubine Jing's kneeling will aggravate her condition.The empress dowager discussed the matter of Concubine Jing, but Long Live God felt very sorry for Concubine Jing.

"Concubine Jing, what is she doing? Don't you want this body?" Kangxi saw that the frown of the familiar person showed his displeasure, but the concern in his tone did not decrease at all.

Liang Jiugong heard the anxiety in Kangxi's tone and waved his hand to let the eunuch carrying the chariot go quickly, and the dragon chariot stopped not far in front of Xiu Yu.

"Chen and concubine see the emperor."

"What are you doing? It's so cold that you're recovering from your illness, so you don't care about it. Don't you want this body?" Kangxi didn't call out immediately, but instead scolded Xiu Yu sternly before calling him a slave. Help Xiu Yu up.

In the warm pavilion, Xiu Yu, who was helped into the Qianqing Palace, knelt down and pleaded guilty. She had already told Kangxi about her trespassing in the study, and now she is waiting for Kangxi to deal with it.

"The concubine violated the palace rules and broke into the study and made a big mistake. I also ask the emperor to punish me."

Everyone in the harem knew about this, if Kangxi didn't punish her now, it wouldn't be justified.The most important thing is that Kangxi punished her now to shut up the Empress Dowager, even if the Empress Dowager wakes up and arranges to frame her, it will be too late.

Kangxi naturally knew about the matter of going to the study room, and originally wanted to ask for clarification before dealing with it, but he didn't expect that Concubine Jing would come to plead guilty so soon in person.Even if he didn't know the detailed situation, he knew the general idea. Seeing Concubine Jing's pale face, Kangxi felt a little distressed.

Xiu Yu took the emotions in Kangxi's eyes into her eyes, and the pain in Kangxi's heart made Xiu Yu feel relieved. It would be better to punish them severely from the beginning.

"The concubine implores the emperor to tell Liugong to punish him."
