Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 378

At the same time, on the official road back to Beijing, a group of one hundred cavalry came on horseback.

At first, the silver-armored general was riding a white horse, with a scar on his handsome face.

Behind him, a horse was chasing after him. The long hair of the woman on the horse was disheveled by the wind, and she was dressed in a heroic outfit.

"General, General!"

Ouyang Jiaoyue yelled from behind, and after several yells, the white horse slowed down a little.

This gave the woman behind her finally a chance to breathe.

"General, slow down, we have been driving the horse for a day, and if this continues, the horse will not be able to bear it!"

Chen Wenyi didn't even look back.

"The imperial concubine is still in the palace, and my parents are in Beijing. What if something unexpected happens? I must go back as soon as possible, just in case!"

The cavalry of one hundred men went first, and there was an army of ten thousand behind them, just to get to the capital earlier.

Chen Wenyi still felt that he was not enough, so he wanted to speed up.

"The emperor has already arranged it. There will never be anything wrong with the imperial concubine. Mrs. Chen is in charge of most of the guards in the palace, and there will be no danger!"

Ouyang Jiaoyue tried hard to explain, but Chen Wenyi ignored it.

He knew that the emperor would not risk Chen Wenxin.

But he was still afraid.

I'm afraid that if something happens, it will be the eternal judgment of heaven and man.

"General, no matter how fast you are, you will destroy the emperor's plan and arouse the emperor's suspicion!"

Ouyang Jiaoyue was anxious and blurted out.

The white horse in front finally slowed down, and Chen Wenyi's straight back slowly relaxed.

The cavalry team behind them also slowed down, and they could vaguely hear the sound of exhaling.

They drove all the way and never slowed down. The general in front rode too fast, and they complained in the back while trying their best to keep up.

What can I do if I can't keep up?
Should the general go to the capital alone first?

Then something will happen!
Now that the speed ahead finally slowed down, they took the opportunity to take a few breaths of fresh air.

Autumn is getting stronger, fast horses are galloping on the official road, and all they eat are cold wind.

Suddenly, Chen Wenyi waved his hand.

"Rest in place for a quarter of an hour, and rush to the next stop before dark!"

Everyone was happy. They thought that the general's appearance meant that he was going to drive all night, but they didn't expect to stop to rest at the next stop.

Only Ouyang Jiaoyue knows.

He returned like an arrow.

At the same time, in the harem.

Nalan Yulu was overwhelmed by the expression of Chen Xihai's father and daughter, who were forced by him, and the breeze blowing the hills.

One is her father-in-law, and the other is the imperial concubine, no matter how anxious she is, she can't do anything about it.

He could only leave the harem with a sad face.

Anyway, she had tried her best, Nalan Rongruo didn't know how to choose between her father and the loyal emperor, and she was afraid of being ashamed of her friend Chen Wenyi, so she chose to tell Nalan Yulu about it at the last moment.

Nalan Yulu did not hesitate, and entered the palace directly.

Married to her husband, for the sake of Chen Wenyi, she completely regarded herself as a member of the Chen family and considered the pros and cons.

There is another reason -

The Chen family followed the right path, they did not form cliques for personal gain, and did not seek power and usurp the throne.

Even though Nalan Yulu is a woman, she can tell right from wrong and right from wrong.

Even if the news doesn't have any effect, at least she said it, and she has a clear conscience.

With Chen Wenyi not here, she and the Chen family will bear all the rest.

And a young eunuch from Yikun Palace rushed out quickly, and stopped Chen Xihai quietly before he left.

"The imperial concubine has something urgent to do, please return to Yikun Palace, Mrs. Chen."

Chen Xihai nodded slightly, and followed the little eunuch back without saying a word.

He deliberately walked slowly, because he saw that Chen Wenxin had something to say, and he was waiting for her to send someone to invite him.

With Nalan Yulu just now, there are some things that may not be convenient to say.

I know the daughter I raised best.

Chen Xihai returned to Yikun Palace again, and hurried out of the palace within the time for two cups of tea.

Many people who were peeping in the dark saw his frowning and his face was terribly gloomy.

Like the sky before the storm, the sky is full of dark clouds.

The sky in this palace is probably about to change...

After sending Chen Xihai out, Chen Wenxin finally had time to breathe, and lay down on the couch and moved lazily.

Bai Lu said distressedly: "Master has worked hard, I finally made it clear, now I can rest."

On the couch, Chen Wenxin closed her eyes and shook her head inaudibly.

"No, I can't rest yet."

There are still a lot of people in the harem who are eager to try, so she might not be able to rest well tonight.

"Let's pass on the meal first. When I am full, I will have the strength to deal with these people."

Bai Lu smiled and said: "Master has worked hard today, I wonder if Imperial Physician Gua can understand Master and cook some delicious and nourishing medicinal food?"

At the mention of Imperial Physician Gua, Chen Wenxin instantly turned bitter.

"You still count on him? I think he is also narrow-minded, worse than Lu Heimian..."

Those medicinal soups are really good for the body, and the baby in her belly is very strong, and the direct consequence is——

Kicking her belly hurts a lot.

Mentioning Lu Zong, Bai Lu smiled again, "Physician Lu has worked hard this time too. I wonder if his face has turned darker after staying outside the Great Wall for so long? It would be great if he came back earlier. Make delicious food."

When Lu Zong came back, the emperor should have come back too, right?
Every night when she was so tossed by the child that she couldn't fall asleep, she told him to be good and come out later.

I heard that children born later are extraordinarily smart. Didn't Nezha stay in the mother's womb for three years?

I don't know if the thing in her stomach is obedient or not, can she come out after the emperor comes back...

Chen Wenxin expected it well, when she was drinking a bowl of pitch-black soup, the small table came in to announce.

At that time, Chen Wenxin's face was wrinkled into a ball.

This soup is really bitter.

"Master, fourth elder brother begging to see you, this..."

The voice of the small table was still cautious, and the entire Yikun Palace did not dare to breathe.

Even Bai Lu, an insider, had to pretend to be concerned in front of others.

Chen Wenxin shook his head, "I'm tired today, you go and ask the fourth elder brother, if there is nothing important, I will disappear."

This is the first time that the fourth elder brother went to Yikun Palace to ask for an interview, but was rejected by Chen Wenxin.

He looked a little hesitant, and he pursed his lips tightly.

The little table bowed in front of him, waiting patiently for him to speak.

After a while, the fourth elder brother said: "It's nothing important, just ask Chen Erniang how she is."

The little table nodded, "Your Majesty is having a meal, her appetite is not bad, I think it's nothing serious."

That's good.

Some things, once happened, cannot be changed.

With his feeble power, what can be changed?
It's better to let her eat well, to protect her body and the fetus in her womb.

He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just said, "Please Eunuch Zhuo and Aunt Lu, please comfort Chen Erniang, don't make her sad too much."

The little table nodded in agreement, and when he ordered someone to send the fourth elder brother back to the elder brother's place, the fourth elder brother had already left.

The boy was tall and straight, and he was no longer that little kid who needed escorts.

Under the light, his shadow was stretched very long, and gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

The little table hurriedly went back to deliver the message that Chen Wenxin had already finished his meal and yawned.

"Master is really tired today, even Si elder brother is gone, why don't you rest earlier?"

Chen Wenxin shook his head, "Just go outside and wait, there will be people coming in a while. It's time to make an announcement, just don't let anyone in."

What this means is that no one will be seen.

The little table knew what was in his mind, he answered, and walked outside.

Before leaving, she met Bai Lu's eyes, and Bai Lu shook her head almost inaudibly at him, with a melancholy look on her face.

The little table sighed silently.

After he walked out, Bai Lu rubbed her face, "Finally, I know why the master refuses to see the fourth elder brother. This scene is not easy to perform. The servant girl is as happy as the master in her heart, but she still has to pretend to be sad. It's hard to die."

"I don't want to lie to the fourth elder brother. The emperor is his Ama after all. If he asks me how the emperor is doing, can I act and tell him that the emperor is dead?"

"Even if it can be acted out, whether others believe it or not will have to be discussed. Just wait, the concubines from the harem will come later, it will not be easy to fool them."

The group of concubines in the harem are like fine individuals, well experienced.

Chen Wenxin was in front of them, but he was not fully sure.

Bai Lu nodded, "It turns out that the master is guarding against them. Also, the girls in the harem are full of thoughts, so the master has no time to deal with them."

"I won't see you tonight. When the secret edict is opened tomorrow morning, you can let them go with you. After all, those elder brothers are still young."

When the emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight, there was also the empress dowager who listened to the government behind the curtain, and walked up and down all the way until the emperor personally conquered it.

At this time, the foreheads of the elder brothers played a very important role.

By the way, she can also take a look at the real intentions of these people.

The emperor is testing the ministers, and she, too, needs to test the concubines in the harem.

Seeing the truth in adversity, knowing the true nature of a person in the present.

For more than 20 years, the emperor has continuously purged the former dynasty and the harem. If traces are left in the history books in the future, this time must be the most important purge.

She told Chen Xihai the whole matter, and asked Chen Xihai to make early preparations to send Zheng, Zeng, Nalan Yulu, and the two younger brothers to a safe place.

Chen Xihai was in charge of the palace guards, and Chen Wenren was in charge of the remaining green battalion forces.

Once the home is settled, she will have no worries.

In the palace, there are arrangements made by the emperor.

As the night deepened, outside Yikun Palace, a palanquin came from the night, surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs.

The concubine who was on the palanquin came down and went outside the palace gate, only to see the small table standing there.

"Mr. Table? Why are you guarding the gate yourself today?"

The little table looked up and smiled.

"Yo, why is Concubine Hui here?"
