Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 163
That night, the emperor stayed overnight in Yikun Palace.

Yikun Palace, which had been silent for a month, suddenly became alive again.

The emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take out the red projection lamp hanging in Yikun Palace on the day of Chen Wenxin's birthday.

Lanterns hung all over the palace walls of Yikun Palace, glowing red and peaceful in the night, dimly lit.

Many people who passed by outside the palace wall of Yikun Palace saw it, and also saw the eunuch standing outside Yikun Palace, with bright yellow auspicious clouds embroidered on the corner of his clothes.

That is the symbol of the Emperor's Qing Palace.

This can't help but make people feel emotional, the concubine Qin fell out of favor overnight, silently.

Her return to favor was still overnight, brilliant and colorful, just like in the past.

In Chengqian Palace not far from it, Concubine Tong Guifei knelt in the Buddhist hall and chanted sutras, her complexion gloomy.

Today is Concubine Hui's birthday, so all the concubines went to Changchun Palace, and followed the emperor to Yikun Palace.

Only Chengqian Palace is like a pool of stagnant water, which seems to be unable to make any waves.

Under this pool of stagnant water, undercurrents flowed from dead branches and rotted leaves, penetrating into every corner of the harem.

What happened in Changchun Palace today, and every conversation can't escape her eyes and ears.

She coiled up the long prayer beads and solemnly put them in the sandalwood pearl shell box in front of the Buddha.

The big nanny stepped forward and helped her up from the futon.

Concubine Tong quickly walked out of the Buddhist hall, took off the heavy relic on her wrist as she walked, and handed it to the grandma.

She chanted Buddha devoutly, and the incense smell in the Buddhist hall was so strong that her relics were contaminated with sandalwood.

The Buddha will see her sincerity and will definitely fulfill her wish.

"Master, wipe your face quickly."

The incense in the Buddhist hall made a layer of shell stagnate on her face, and that layer of shell had an ancient and heavy fragrance, and when she was lightly crushed, it was full of fly ash.

She took the steaming facekerchief, covered her face, and wiped it from forehead to chin.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the facekerchief to the grandma.

"That Yikun Palace, how is it?"

The eldest mother gave the handkerchief to the little maid, and she gave Tong Guifei her shoulders.

Her old face with drooping cheeks moved, and she said in shame: "Master, there is only Bai Lu who is waiting on him, and the other people really can't get in."

Concubine Tong looked at her displeasedly, "How could it be? The emperor is there, is it just one person serving tea and water, and walking with a fan?"

"Return to master, the emperor is not in front of that one, but in the outer room."

It is abnormal for the emperor to stay in Yikun Palace, but one is in the outer room and the other is in the inner room.

"Didn't it mean that you were so anxious? Why didn't you wake up at night? Go and see again."

Thinking about it, it can only be that Concubine Qin is still in a coma, so the emperor is waiting outside.

This is strange, the theory is that it should have woken up long ago.

The eldest mother let out a sigh, and took her hand off Concubine Tong's shoulder, feeling her impatience.

In the past, Concubine Tong Gui respected her very much...

"correct."

Tong Guifei said again: "Give a lot of money to the eunuchs and mothers next to the second elder brother, and make sure they report everything in detail."

The eldest mother was so startled that she almost knelt down.

Did Concubine Tong know?

Knowing that she returned the rewards to the palace servants around the second elder brother, half of them were ignorant of the grandma...

She struggled to find the courage to glance at Concubine Tong Gui from the corner of her eye, and found that her expression was normal.

Fortunately, she probably didn't notice it.

The eldest mother turned around and said: "I'm afraid that the slave who opened the screw didn't do his best. He took the reward from the master and didn't do a good job for the master."

Concubine Tong Gui sneered in her heart, Grandma, are you talking about the palace servants next to Second Elder Brother?

It seemed more like she was talking about herself.

She is her own dowry nun, and the nuns in the palace have to rank seniority, and she is also a top-notch one.

Unexpectedly, the more power given to her, the bigger her heart would be.

What is the situation of Chengqian Palace, doesn't she know?He even dared to ignorant of himself, and prepared a reward for the second elder brother's palace servants.

If it wasn't so, maybe she would have gotten the news earlier that the second elder brother had developed such a great affection for Concubine Qin.

Instead of Concubine Hui's birthday banquet, the second elder brother offered to sit with Chen Wenxin, and she was the last to get the news.

This can't help but make her feel flustered.

Compared with the emperor's new or old love, she cares more about her second elder brother.

This is her only weight after being sealed.

The concubine Qin dared to win over the second elder brother in private, what did she want to do?
Does she want to take her place and be the adoptive mother of the second elder brother, the future queen mother?

The emperor gave her so much favor that she couldn't see her identity clearly, how dare she think so wishful thinking!
What happened to the fourth elder brother in the past was still at the fault of Concubine Tong herself, and Chen Wenxin's rescue was accidental.

This time it was the second elder brother again, the second elder brother who she regarded as the future to rely on.

His identity is much more valuable than the fourth elder brother.

She snatched the emperor's favor, it doesn't matter, the emperor's favor was never her Concubine Tong's.

In the past, there were German concubines, Yi concubines, and Dingchang.

Later, there were concubines Qin and Yuchang...

Follow the emperor's will.

But the second elder brother is hers, and no one can snatch it.

Concubine Tong Gui said: "The eunuchs and mothers around the second elder brother are useless, I always have a way to replace them. People around me should also be careful, don't let those who betray the Lord and ungrateful look like fakes."

When she spoke, she didn't look at the big nanny, but looked at the end of her eyes in the bronze mirror, where there seemed to be another fine line.

Concubine Tong's words, I don't know if she meant that she wanted to take good care of the people around her, or that she wanted the grandma to take good care of the people around her.

If it's the former, she said this in front of the eldest mother, clearly implying something...

The grandma knelt down with a plop, and she felt more and more that Concubine Tong knew about her little trick.

"What is the eldest mother doing? My palace still relies heavily on the mother, so why do you have to do such a big gift?"

With a slight smile, she helped the eldest mother up with her own hands.

"It's just that this palace is really worried. Concubine Qin is going to snatch my second elder brother, and second elder brother will be snatched away by her..."

The eldest mother understood, and hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, this servant will find a way for you."

Concubine Tong patted her hand comfortingly, "Mammy, it's all my fault, which caused Mammy to suffer a lot of grievances."

Chen Wenxin is so favored, and now Yuchang is the same.

The emperor's promotion of certain people invisibly lowered the honor of Concubine Tong Gui who was not promoted.

The eldest mother gradually lost her former glory, so she wanted to withhold the rewards Tong Guifei gave to the palace people and use money to find a way out for herself.

In the final analysis, isn't it because she is useless as a master that makes the slaves have different intentions?
If the grandma, the nanny who brought her up since she was a child, is like this, let alone others?
If she doesn't do anything, I'm afraid that the people in the harem will think less of her in the future.

"What is Mammy thinking? I can only ask the gods and Buddhas now, and I hope the Buddhas will bless you..."

The big nanny tentatively asked, "What do you ask the Buddha to bless you?"

"What else could it be?"

Concubine Tong Gui smiled faintly, "I just ask the Buddha to protect Concubine Qin, and I will never wake up from this illness."

Are you sick?
It's not an incurable disease, so how can you stay awake from it?

Is it...

The big nanny shrank her neck, her shriveled mouth was half open, trembling slightly.

Does my master mean that she wants her to drug Concubine Qin so that she can never wake up again?

She did indeed have a godson who worked as a clerk in the imperial pharmacy.

"Master, master."

The big nanny knelt on the ground and kowtowed with a muffled sound.

"The slave will never let the master down."

In Yikun Palace, the emperor was reading in the outer room, and would get up from time to time to go to the inner room.

He was about to step into the inner room, but he held back when he saw the screen in front of her embroidered bed.

She needs to rest now, every step and breath by herself may disturb her.

Just don't go in.

Besides, she doesn't necessarily want to see herself as soon as she wakes up?
The longer he waited, the more he couldn't read the book in his hand, and he didn't know what was written on it.

"Li Dequan, tell Lu Zong again!"

He lowered his voice and ordered Li Dequan beside him.

The more he waited, the more anxious he became, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became.

Out of breath, why did you stay in a coma for a whole day and didn't wake up?

Did Lu Zong have the wrong disease, or was her disease too serious?
It is still necessary to pass on Lu Zong again.

Li Dequan responded to the emperor with a lower voice, "Yes."

He is arrogant and works in front of the emperor, and he has never spoken in such a low voice.

Lu Zongming only came once after dinner, and now he is called again, why not call him just now!

He was slandering in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he turned around and wanted to go out to summon Lu Zong.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside.

A strange little eunuch held a food box and stood outside the hall to salute.

"Your Majesty, the medicine for Concubine Qin has arrived."
