Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 80

After Murong Xue left, Yu Pingting ordered Guan Shi to follow quietly to see the situation.

She wanted to use this matter to see what Yeluyan's attitude towards Murong Xue was.If he really loved Murong Xue, he wouldn't have taken her back to the palace, and he would have never been lucky even once, and he hadn't even set foot in Yide Palace.

Zhao Zhenniang is Yeluyan and Murongxue's matchmaker, if Yeluyan values ​​his relationship with Murongxue, he will definitely think about this relationship, so come and see Zhao Zhenniang.If he refuses to come, it means that his feelings for Murong Xue are far from what the outside rumors say, maybe it's just a cover.

Guan Shi came back soon, Yu Pingting asked in a low voice: "How is it?"

Guan shook his head.

It seemed that it was exactly what he had guessed, Yeluyan's feelings for Murongxue were just superficial, Murongxue begged him on his knees, but he refused to give him a little face to deal with it.Yu Pingting was very relieved, and told the eunuch Liu Xi next to her, "Go upstairs and pass a message to Zhao Zhenniang. Tell her that the emperor will not come. If she wants to die, she can just jump down. If he dies, he will come down and go back to Jingxin Palace by himself, and go to Hong'en Temple honestly tomorrow. This palace will not pursue this matter."

After Yu Pingting finished speaking, she turned around and left with a group of maids and servants. Liu Xi led the order to pass the message to Zhao Zhenniang on the Zhaixing Tower. Soon, there was no one in the Zhaixing Tower.The wind from Taiye Pond blew onto the railing, Zhao Zhenniang's dress fluttered like a lone goose with a broken wing.

Panting, Liu Xi climbed up to the seventh floor of Zhaixing Building, and relayed Yu Pingting's words through the railing.

Zhao Zhenniang cried out in despair: "Your Majesty, Empress Defei."

Murong Xue, who had not yet reached the lake, heard Zhao Zhenniang's cries, and her heart was extremely solemn. She was thinking along the way, how to persuade Zhao Zhenniang to come down.

After Liu Xi got off the Zhaixing Tower, Zhao Zhenniang went crazy and shouted in the direction of Jiayi Palace: "Princess, your mother is Zhao Zhenniang, not Qiao Xueyi! Qiao Xueyi, if you snatch my child, I will not let you go if I am a ghost." you."

When Murong Xue heard that Zhao Zhenniang's tone was wrong, she hurriedly ran to the lake, but unfortunately she was a step too late, a white figure jumped down from the Star Picking Tower, Murong Xue's heart twitched, and she almost staggered and fell to the ground.

The lake water was splashed with a bang, the water spray seemed to splash on Murong Xue's heart, it was icy cold.

Without thinking too much, she ran to the edge of the lake and jumped in.Lilac Peilan and Jiayin who followed closely behind, as well as the accompanying maids, all turned pale with shock and shouted wildly.

"Come on, come on, come on."

"Your Majesty has fallen into the water, come quickly."

Murong Xue swam towards the place where Zhao Zhenniang fell into the water, the spring was chilly and the lake was biting, she struggled to find a white shadow in the water, and finally grabbed Zhao Zhenniang's hair.

There was a lot of noise on the shore of the lake, which quickly alarmed the nearby guards. They rushed to the Taiye Pool and rescued Murong Xue and Zhao Zhenniang to the shore.

Lilac Peilan looked at the pale Murong Xue, and was so anxious that she was about to cry, although she knew that Murong Xue could swim, but in this cold early spring, this toss would definitely catch cold and fall ill.

Jiayin hurriedly told the maid behind her: "Go and call the imperial physician."

"Quickly return to the palace, fill the bath with hot water, and ask the kitchen to make ginger soup."

Several maids ran away separately.

Ding Xiang urged Murong Xue, whose clothes were all wet, to go back quickly.Murong Xue didn't care about herself, and ordered an eunuch: "Go and ask the imperial physician to save Zhao Zhenniang."

Ding Xiang cried: "Miss, don't worry, Peilan is here to guard her, miss, you should go back and change clothes."

Back at Yide Palace, Murong Xue soaked in hot water, hugged her body tightly, the bone-chilling chill soaked her limbs and bones, even after soaking in warm water, drinking ginger soup, it still couldn't dispel The coolness in my heart.

Yeluyan's indifference and unfeelingness, she really learned today.Is this the king?
She crossed her arms, the inexplicable sadness in her heart was like a heavy boulder, and she could hardly breathe due to depression.

Ding Xiang walked over with a set of dry clothes in her hand.

"Miss, the quilts are all warmed up, and a fire is lit in the room."

Murong Xue got up, put on her clothes, and entered the bedroom.

The room was as warm as spring, Lilac helped her to sit on the bed, surrounded her with a thick quilt, and put a heater in her arms.

Murong Xue quietly let her do these things without saying a word, the silence was terrifying.

Ding Xiang was a little worried, and whispered: "Miss, are you okay?"

Murong Xue closed her eyes.

Ding Xiang thought she was tired, so she stopped talking, put down the gauze curtain, and went out quietly.

Not long after, Pei Lan came back from the Meditation Palace.

Ding Xiang asked: "How is Zhao Zhenniang?"

"It's been saved."

"That's good, otherwise the miss will not hate the emperor."

"The emperor really hurt the lady's heart this time. No matter what, Zhao Zhenniang is also the matchmaker between the lady and the emperor."

"It was the late emperor's will to entrust the princess to Concubine Qiao's upbringing. If the emperor disobeyed the late emperor's will within a hundred days, it would be disrespectful."

The two were whispering, Murong Xue could hear them clearly.She turned over and buried her face in the quilt, just wanting to sleep and wake up. She was still in the Huichun Medical Center. In the spring when she was 16 years old, the pear blossoms were bright and fragrant, and there was nothing like this later.

Yu Pingting didn't expect that after she left, Zhao Zhenniang would really jump off the building, and Murong Xue jumped into the lake to save her, so she sighed to Guan, "I really didn't expect Murong Xue to jump down to save her .”

Guan shi said cautiously: "Murong Xue seems to be a good person with a kind heart, and is not a threat to the empress. There are other people that the empress should guard against."

"how do I say this?"

"Today, the empress asked me to follow quietly to see the emperor's attitude. This servant saw with her own eyes that the emperor was very indifferent to Murong Xue. After Murong Xue begged to no avail, she said a strange thing."

"What?"

"She said, you are not because of the first emperor, but because of her, right?"

"What does it mean?"

"What Murong Xue meant was that the emperor refused to return Princess Wenchang to Zhao Zhenniang because of her. Murong Xue didn't say who she was, but obviously the emperor knew who she was referring to, and immediately changed his face and became furious. The servant didn't dare to wait any longer, and hastily avoided it."

"Her? That her?" Yu Pingting frowned, and suddenly her expression changed, "Governor Concubine Qiao?"

Guan said, "I don't dare to make wild guesses."

Who would it be if it wasn't her?Yu Pingting's heart roared like a storm, and all doubts seemed to be solved in an instant.

Why did Qiao Xueyi insist on letting herself marry Yeluyan, why did she spare no effort to support Yeluyan on his way to the throne, and make suggestions for herself, why after Yeluyan became the throne, he was not close to women, and why he loved Murongxue so much when he acted in front of the world. But he ignored her.

It turned out that it was all to cover up such an unethical love.

Naturally, Princess Wenchang would never return it to Zhao Zhenniang, otherwise the person who went to Hong'en Temple would be Qiao Xueyi, and from then on he could no longer freely spend time with Qiao Xueyi in the harem.

Thinking of this, Yu Pingting was so angry that she almost went crazy, she was really deceived.Even Murong Xue had seen through the hidden secrets, but he had been deceived by Qiao Xueyi until now, so he respected her and thanked her for making him a queen.With the help of Murong Xue's brand name, Yeluyan played the role of a benevolent and wise king who values ​​love and righteousness in front of the world.

The two were really a good match.

The fire of jealousy in her heart made Yu Pingting lose all reason, and she ordered Guan sternly: "Go to Jiayi Palace."

Mrs. Guan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not bring this matter up. It is about the face of the royal family. If it is exposed, you will offend the emperor, and even your empress will lose face."

"Of course I won't be that stupid." Yu Pingting gritted her teeth, "But I won't let them go too far either."

Guan asked anxiously, "What is your plan, then?"

"I make my own claims."

Yu Pingting brought Guan, Liuyun Wanyue, Liu Xi and others to Jiayi Palace.

Seeing her coming, Qiao Xueyi showed a faint smile: "Is Zhao Zhenniang all right?"

"It turns out that the concubine also knows." Yu Pingting endured the jealousy and anger in her heart, tried her best to keep her expression as usual, and said to Qiao Xueyi: "She is fine. After jumping into the lake, Concubine De happened to pass by. saved her."

"Concubine De is really a loving and righteous woman."

Yu Pingting said: "Although Zhao Zhenniang was rescued, she continued to look for death and life, crying and beating, insisting on seeing the princess. I thought, they will go to Hong'en Temple tomorrow, and I will never see the princess again , and promised her to take the princess to the Meditation Palace, and let her mother and daughter meet for the last time."

Although Qiao Xueyi was reluctant, but after thinking about it, after all, Princess Wenchang was born to Zhao Zhenniang, and she felt a little guilty for taking her daughter, so she asked the wet nurse Zhang to bring the princess over, and followed Yu Pingting to leave Jia. Yi Gong.

The little princess was in the nurse's arms, and she turned her head and waved her little hand at Qiao Xueyi, she was very cute and well-behaved.

Qiao Xueyi's heart was soft and quiet, how wonderful it would be if this was her own child, a child born with him.

She suddenly felt sour in her heart, and sighed slightly, let's go to the next life.

As soon as the princess left, the palace was exceptionally quiet. Qiao Xueyi felt inexplicably restless, so she took a Buddhist scripture and lay it on the couch to read slowly.After a while, her heart gradually calmed down. She put down the Buddhist scriptures and thought of him again.After the old emperor passed away, she could finally think of him anytime and anywhere, no longer like before, she had to be alert even in her dreams, for fear that his name would be called out in her dreams.

Yeluyan put down the memorial in his hand, and asked Qin Shu, "How is the situation of Yide Palace?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the imperial physician has already gone, and the concubine de concubine is fine."

Yeluyan finally couldn't hold back his worries, got up and said, "Go to Yide Palace."

Qin Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, the emperor, you got the letter and went there early in the morning, why bother to suffer so hard until now, isn't it self-torture?

Since Murong Xue returned to the palace, this is the first time for Yeluyan to come to Yide Palace, but he is familiar with everything here.When he ascended the throne, in fact, he already thought that she was not alive, but he still thought in his heart that he must choose a palace for her, even if it would be vacant for a lifetime.

At that time, both the courtiers and Yu Pingting were strongly opposed to repairing the palace for a dead person, but he insisted on going his own way and renovated it according to her liking.Firstly, Yide Palace is very close to Qianming Palace, only separated by a palace wall. Secondly, there are many plum blossoms planted here. He remembered that she liked plum blossoms. When she was in Qiandi, she had been looking forward to the blooming of plum blossoms. Boil wine and enjoy plum blossoms with yourself.

When he learned that she was still alive, he was ecstatic and angry at the same time.Days and years counted the days for her to go to Beijing, for fear that she might make a mistake on the way.When she entered the capital safely, he was relieved, but he hesitated like nostalgia, fearing that meeting her would cause him to lose control of his anger and make the relationship between the two of them even more rigid.

It's a pity that it's still so stiff.

After entering Yide Palace, Yeluyan ordered Qin Shu not to disturb Concubine De, and went straight into the inner hall of the bedroom.

Dingxiang Peilan was guarding Murong Xue, and suddenly she was surprised to see Yeluyan coming in quietly, and when she was about to salute, Yeluyan waved her hand and told them to go out.

Murong Xue closed her eyes, but did not fall asleep.A hand suddenly covered his forehead, and a faint scent of ambergris overflowed from the sleeve.

She was startled, but continued to pretend to sleep with her eyes closed.

"Still angry?"

He pinched her nose, forcing her to open her eyes.

Murong Xue glanced at him quietly: "The emperor now holds the power of life and death, how dare the concubines be angry with the emperor."

These words were like steel thorns, and it hurt his heart. He would rather she lose her temper with him and be petty than her being so serious and indifferent.

He sighed and said, "Zhao Zhenniang is not what you think." Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Qin Shu outside suddenly said softly: "Your Majesty, the Empress has something urgent to see you outside."

When Murong Xue heard this, she wanted to get up from the bed, Yeluyan held her down and said, "You don't need to be polite when you are sick, just lie down."

Murong Xue said: "The concubine must abide by the palace rules."

Yeluyan got up and walked out of the inner hall.Murong Xue came out afterward, and greeted Yu Pingting first.

Unexpectedly, Yu Pingting knelt down towards Yeluyan, and said with a sad expression: "This concubine begs the emperor."

Murong Xue was slightly startled, seeing Yu Pingting's expression, could something serious happen?
Yeluyan said: "Queen, get up and talk, what's the matter?"
