Chapter 139

Three times in succession the Queen Mother conveyed the imperial decree to Xianle Palace, but Zhao Xiangran shirked the Queen Mother's summons on the grounds that he was seriously ill and was bedridden.However, this did not make the Queen Mother give up, she ordered people to go to Xianle Palace again...

"The Empress Dowager has an order to summon the imperial concubine to the Jiaofang Palace to have an audience..." The chief eunuch beside the Empress Dowager shouted in a high-pitched voice.

"Cough cough cough... Eunuch! I'm not feeling well, it's not easy to get out of bed to receive the order. Please forgive me! I really can't go to Jiaofang Hall, please report back to the Queen Mother about my illness..." Zhao Xiangran said sickly.

"Imperial concubine, don't worry! The empress dowager ordered the slave to bring a gift to the empress, and please accept it, so that the slave can be ordered to report back..." The chief eunuch bowed and said respectfully.

"Bring it up..." Zhao Xiangran under the bed curtain frowned, and finally asked the servant to bring it up.

"Bang..." Zhao Xiangran dropped the jade bottle in his hand in horror, his face turned pale with fright, and his eyes were empty.Yulu Jiao!It's Yulujiao!She coughed in fear for a moment: "cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough..."

"My Lady, what's wrong with you! My Lady, my God! Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician..." Qiaoxiang yelled at the Imperial Physician in fear, and Empress actually coughed up blood!
Zhao Xiangran covered her mouth with a handkerchief, she coughed so hard that her heart broke.She spread her handkerchief and looked at the pool of blood on the silk handkerchief, and smiled miserably...

15 years!She thought that no one was talking about the wrong things she did, but... There are always people who don't want to let her go!Yulu Jiao!The most taboo love potion in the harem is such a small bottle!She ruined her whole life, how could she not hate...

She reached out and picked up the jade bottle that was left beside the bed. She used to take this aunt who hurt her, that gentle and kind woman!
She is vicious, isn't she!Concubine Shu was given to death, and the Tang family fell within a year.If it wasn't for my uncle's defection to the queen mother, the famous Tang family would have been desolate...

She not only ruined Concubine Shu, the Tang family, the emperor, but also herself!It's really ridiculous, what she asked for didn't come true, but the Queen Mother got it.She hated, hated so much that she wanted to die with that temptress, the Queen Mother.

She squeezed the jade bottle tightly, stretched out her hand to stop Qiaoxiang who had been shouting, and said softly, "Please tell the queen mother, father-in-law, and come to pay your respects to the queen mother after I clean up the palace!"

"Yes, this servant will leave!" Seeing Zhao Xiangran's reply, the chief eunuch bowed and left Xianle Palace.

"Mother, your illness...why do you want to go to the Jiaofang Hall? The queen mother must force you to do something..." Qiaoxiang said impatiently. Never do it.

"Qiaoxiang, you have been with me for more than [-] years! I will let you out of the palace this year, and find an ordinary person to marry! I may not live long..." Zhao Xiangran pulled Qiaoxiang to sit down On the edge of the bed, he patted her hand and whispered.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about! Your Majesty will live a good life, and Qiaoxiang has to serve you for the rest of her life." Qiaoxiang shed tears when she thought of her master's illness.

"Qiaoxiang, my own illnesses are well known. If I had to meet him in order to survive, I would not take poison. Now that I have seen him, I have no regrets!"

"Mother..." Qiaoxiang broke down in tears, this is fate!Fate played tricks in every possible way, but returned to the original point.Empress, this is regrettable...

"Fresh and dress up for this palace, this palace is going to meet the queen mother..." Zhao Xiangran smiled coldly, no matter what the consequences were this time, she would never hurt the emperor again.

※※※

Zhao Xiangran came to the gate of Jiaofang Hall and ordered someone to inform him, and then he entered the gate.Seeing Wen Lanying who was sitting high, she gave a salute and said, "May the queen mother be blessed and golden safe..."

Wen Lanying ignored her, this woman was used to being pampered, she invited her over and over again, and whoever gave her the courage to push back her summons made her hold her body to relieve her anger.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not ask her to get up, Zhao Xiangran had no choice but to maintain the original movements.After a long time, she became dizzy and dizzy. She tilted her body and nearly fell to the ground...

"Your Majesty, are you okay..." Qiaoxiang hurriedly supported Zhao Xiangran who was shaking and asked nervously.

"What's wrong with the imperial concubine! Judging by your sickly appearance, it seems that you are not seriously ill. Come here, show the imperial concubine a seat..." Wen Lanying said in moderation.

"Cough cough... the queen mother summoned my concubine today, cough cough! But there is something important. This concubine has been ill for a long time, so I won't greet you in the future. Don't blame the concubine, queen mother!" Zhao Xiangran couldn't keep his mouth shut. He coughed in a low voice.

"You all go down first, the Ai family has something important to discuss with the imperial concubine." The queen mother waved her hand and sent away all the eunuchs and princesses.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiangran said to Qiaoxiang: "Qiaoxiang, when we came to Jiaofang Hall just now, I felt a bit cold, you go and get my cloak."

It wasn't until Qiaoxiang went out that the door of the palace was closed tightly.Wen Lanying picked up the teacup and blew, and said slowly: "These years, the imperial concubine deliberately forced Aijia, but she lived a leisurely life."

"The empress dowager forgives the sin. The concubine has been plagued by illness all year round. She rarely stepped out of Xianle Palace. A few days ago, she fell into the lake again. The old disease did not go away and a new disease appeared. If the empress dowager hadn't invited me several times, the concubine might not be here at this time. I'm lying on the bed..." Zhao Xiangran smiled miserably, she turned a corner and said that she was unreasonable, and wondered if the temptress understood.

"I heard that Emperor Xuanran has returned to Dongyu, the imperial concubine must have known about it..." Wen Lanying said indifferently, seeing her face turned pale and colorless, she couldn't help but curl her lips in sarcasm.This woman still hasn't stopped peeping at Duanmu Xuanran, that's good!The conversation that follows is sure to go well.

"The Ai family still remembers the picture of the concubine's concubine love with the 17-year-old imperial brother Lang when the concubine was 17 years old. The Ai family still remembers clearly. The story of the two of you was once a good story in the palace. I heard that the concubine and the [-]-year-old brother Lang The emperor's younger brother has been privately appointed for life, but it's a pity that good luck tricks others. When Lang returns, the concubine wants to give up, and after four years, I don't know if the imperial concubine has regretted it..." Wen Lanying said lightly, she was the one who planned it back then, It took it apart!

When Zhao Xiangran saw the Queen Mother say that the events of that year were uneventful, it made her heart ache unbearably.She quickly covered her eyes and coughed lowly: "Ahem, it's been many years since the Empress Dowager, so don't mention it, so as not to be criticized by others."

"Hehe, whatever! This time I invited you here, the Ai family naturally has something to tell you." Wen Lanying stood up and walked towards Zhao Xiangran who was sitting, seeing her body trembling uncontrollably, she couldn't help smiling very gently.

Zhao Xiangran's heart tightened, what's the point of this?What do you want her to do...

Wen Lanying smiled, reached out and took out a jasper bottle from her sleeve, she stuffed it into her hand and said lightly: "This is Xiao·Hun Yin, you should understand what the Ai family means. There will be a banquet at the Ai family tomorrow. The emperor and all the concubines will come, and the Ai family hopes that you will feed the emperor."

"No..." Zhao Xiangran exclaimed, how could she have the heart to drug the emperor, that is the cousin who has always treated her like a treasure!
"The Ai family knows that you will make a clear choice, you have to understand! If you hadn't killed Tang Chuchu's Bai Lujiao and killed your aunt, do you think you can still live to this day? Listen to Ai's words, you will Put this medicine in Duanmu Shi's wine glass, and the Ai family will keep you safe for the rest of your life, and marry you to Duanmu Xuanran. This deal, between you and me, is as good as it gets! You have to think clearly..."Wen Lanying He patted her hand reassuringly as a sign of comfort.

"The Queen Mother can really let me marry Prince Xuanran." Zhao Xiangran asked in amazement. Back then, she forced her to marry the emperor, and she also threatened her with the matter of Concubine Shu. She had to marry the emperor. She didn't want Brother Xuanran to marry him He thought she was a vicious woman, so on the day she put on her wedding dress, he and his wife Xunbei...

"It was because Ai's family was confused that they married you to the emperor! Now that I think about it, it's a pity..." Wen Lanying said in a deep voice. Of course, she asked her to marry the emperor for the convenience of killing her, because she Know too much.Unexpectedly, she was seriously ill and capricious one after another!This was the only way to save her life...

"Okay, I promise to the Queen Mother. But you have to fulfill your promise to me..." Zhao Xiangran pondered for a moment, and then replied firmly.

"Get out of the way, the princess wants to see my mother..." At this moment, a female voice came to mind, and she pushed away from the hall vigorously, and walked over when she saw Wen Lanying and Zhao Xiangran.

"But my sister is here, I heard that you are sick! You look really bad, do you want my mother to invite a doctor to come over to have a look..." Duanmuhua asked with concern when she saw that Zhao Xiangran was sick.

"Princess Lao is concerned, I'm afraid I won't recover from this illness!" Zhao Xiangran smiled miserably.

"No, but my sister will go back to Xianle Palace first, I will go back to the residence and go to the imperial hospital, and let the imperial doctor come to show you..." Duanmu Hua said with relief.

"Cough cough cough, that's good too! Thank you princess, it's getting late, and the concubine is going back to Xianle Palace..." Zhao Xiangran said in a low voice.

"Since the imperial concubine is not feeling well, let's go back earlier! The Ai family sent Chun Yu to serve you..." Wen Lanying said lightly.

Zhao Xiangran was startled, and then said rudely: "Thank you, Empress Dowager..."

This is to send someone to watch her, ha ha!Sure enough, the old witch didn't believe her...

When Zhao Xiangran came out of the palace gate, Duanmu Huaqian shouted: "Mother, brother Yuan! After so many days, is he willing to marry me?"

Wen Lanying has some headaches, the current situation is changing, what kind of son-in-law is this child thinking about!She said angrily: "You should stop thinking about it! He received thirty lashes, and Aijia let him out of the palace. He didn't even feel pain when he was whipped, which shows that he really doesn't want to marry you! If you want a son-in-law, Aijia will choose a son-in-law for you after a while..."

"What! Empress! How can you do that? Even if elder brother Yuan doesn't want to marry me, you should let me take him out of the palace! If you act like this, won't you cut off my way out?" Duanmuhua said angrily , the queen mother didn't take her feelings into consideration at all, and she was very angry.

"You are just angry with your mother because of a man! Raising you for nothing..." Wen Lanying was very depressed, she really didn't want to talk about it, and she still arranged for tomorrow's banquet.

"Mother's queen..." Duanmuhua pursed her lips lightly.

"Ai's family is tired, you can go back first..." Wen Lanying waved her hand, I really hope this daughter can be more sensible.
