"Why did Imperial Mother have the time to visit this subject son today?”Ling Ye looked at Consort De holding my hand and felt that things weren't that simple.
"Ke ke, I'm not here to personally bring Bengong's future daughter-in-law to stay at Chengqian Palace for a period of time.”Consort De pulled me to her side and looked at me carefully.
I looked at Consort De's thin eyebrows that were raised high, and the corners of her mouth kept smiling. What a powerful woman! She was simply wearing a green lotus flower palace dress, and her hair was also in a simple ruyi bun. She did not look outstanding, and her fair face was covered in tiny red blood vessels. I could not help but sigh. This kind of woman was the eldest master of this palace. If she could not serve the monarch with her beauty, then she must have relied on her virtuous virtue or superior wisdom.
I smiled back at her, but my expression was unnatural.
Ling Ye was anxious. He looked at the two of them." But…" Ling Ye whispered.
I smiled at him. This sudden decision must be the forefather's foresight. As expected, she had already made a move. Her heart unconsciously turned cold, and a feeling of being in a dilemma rose in her heart.
"Then, consort mother, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Qin Hua. Your son thanks consort mother!”After Ling Ye finished speaking, he knelt down.
Consort De was suddenly stunned. A look of disbelief flashed across her face. She turned her head to look at me. Such a woman actually had such great ability. However, Consort De concealed it very well and hurriedly helped Ling Ye up." Look at this silly child. He's talking nonsense again. We're family. Qin Hua is BenGong's daughter-in-law." How could bengong mistreat her?" Consort De lovingly helped Ling Ye up and looked back at me.
Silly Ling Ye, you will only deepen the hatred of those who hate me.
I looked at this 'deeply touching' scene in front of me unnaturally, but the handkerchief in my hand was twisted back and forth.
Ling Ye insisted on sending me to Chengqian Palace, but I smiled and refused. I followed behind Consort De alone, with two servant girls quietly following beside me. The atmosphere was not as harmonious as before.
"You are Qin Hua, that Qin Hua?" Consort De suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around to pull me to stand shoulder to shoulder with her. I maintained the distance I should have.
"Yes, both." I answered simply and solemnly, lowering my head heavily.
"Hehe, look at you. There's no need to be so nervous.”Consort De suddenly smiled brightly at me and held my hand tightly. "Come, let's go together." I looked at Consort De's well-disguised smile and twitched my lips. I couldn't stand such attentiveness, but I couldn't show it.
Consort De arranged for me to stay in the largest wing of Chengqian Palace. Pushing open the window, I saw a spacious platform with yellow glazed tiles and a mountain-like roof. The eaves were decorated with colorful paintings. The scenery was charming. However, he was not in a good mood. Lanxuan's unusual behavior in Yongshou Palace was like a gray shadow that could not be erased.
He casually picked up the brush and wrote the words 'Misery in the Misty Tu Sheng' on the white silk. However, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem right. His mind was muddled. A storm was about to come, but now it was extremely calm.
After a few days of quiet, Ling Ye actually didn't come. Without Consort De's instructions, it wasn't convenient for me to step out of Chengqian Palace, so I became even more annoyed.
I sat on the platform, stroking the zither in my hand, but it was difficult to form a tune. Suddenly, one of the strings collapsed and made a clear sound. I was shocked.
Sure enough, I saw Consort De walking towards me with a group of servant girls. I hurried down, but Consort De didn't explain the reason. The corners of her mouth were still hanging with a smile." Accompany BenGong somewhere."”I nodded, but Consort De already held my hand.
There was nothing to say along the way, but I was at a loss. This was clearly the direction to Eternal Longevity Palace. I quietly looked at Consort De. She just calmly looked ahead and didn't seem to be out of the ordinary.
There was a row of imperial guards standing outside the Yongshou Palace. My heart was almost about to break. This scene was extremely similar to that day at the Changchun Palace. It was as if there was an unknown dead end in front of me, but I had to walk in confidently and clearly rush to death.
The moment they entered Yongshou Palace, they saw Lanxuan curled up and kneeling. The Empress Dowager was sitting in the high hall, but there was no Emperor.
"If you don't confess, I'll send you to the Punishment Division and let you taste the pain.”Yue Ronghua's threatening words entered my ears. The Empress Dowager calmed herself down and looked at me. The others followed the Empress Dowager's gaze and looked at us.
Consort De led me to greet her. The Empress Dowager nodded and indicated for us to stand to the side to watch. I actually didn't know why I had come.
Lan Xuan looked up at me, her eyes were bloodthirsty red. Her mouth twitched a few times and she let out a cold laugh." Empress Dowager, this servant confesses. Everything was this servant's doing. It was this servant who wanted to kill Consort Jing's child."”
" Pa, pa." The empress dowager suddenly strode from the soft couch to Lan Xuan and mercilessly gave him two heavy slaps.
"Don't you know that it's the bloodline of the royal family?”The empress dowager ruthlessly kicked Lan Xuan's abdomen with her flower-soled shoe." Dog!”She gritted her teeth, but her eyes were fixed on me from the beginning to the end. I couldn't help but tremble.
Countless scenes flashed through my mind. The empress dowager berated him, and a few imperial guards came in and dragged Lanxuan out. However, I would never forget that moment. That terrifying and desolate gaze contained a hint of mockery and a hint of success. It was as if the next person to die was me.
The empress dowager did not execute Lan Xuan immediately. Instead, she locked her up in the back of the palace, a place filled with blood, framing, conspiracy, and death.
The Empress Dowager did not speak and turned to walk into the inner room. Under the pink curtains was Consort Jing's haggard figure. When she saw that it was the Empress Dowager, she hurriedly bowed. The Empress Dowager had already helped Consort Jing up.
"Younger Sister needs to take care of her body." Consort De was the first to greet her, her tone full of concern and sadness. Yue Ronghua saw the situation and hurriedly responded," Yes yes."”He was afraid that he would fall behind in front of the Empress Dowager.
I stood in the distance, but I couldn't see it clearly. However, the scene in front of me was too much like a premeditated show, and I was the one who watched the show but didn't know the show.
I deliberately walked forward and bowed deeply to Consort Jing." Consort Jing is lucky. Qin Hua misses Consort Jing's well-being.”I was half-squatting, but Consort De quickly reached out to help me up." We're family, why are you so polite?"”She smiled and looked at the Empress Dowager, who nodded.
Consort Jing unexpectedly said reasonably," It's not a problem. Because of you, this illness is not a problem."”Consort Jing lifted the curtain and looked at me. I was shocked. Her face was as pale as a ghost's painted skin, but there was no sign of sickness in her eyes. Lan Xuan had once said that the four examinations, sight, smell, question, and pulse, were all divine powers. Just from this complexion, I could see many clues, but…
I laughed in my heart and tightened my handkerchief, pretending not to know. My eyes still carried the sadness that should have been there.
Not long after, many concubines came to visit in three places, but in the end, they were all pushed off because Consort Jing's body was not well and it was not suitable to visit.
The Empress Dowager didn't keep us for long and ordered us to disperse. I secretly thought that they had a guilty conscience.
Inside the Great Buddha Hall of Cining Palace, sandalwood incense was emitted. Smoke lingered in the room. The Empress Dowager held the incense in her hand, but she did not insert it into the bronze incense burner for a long time.
Cao GuGu walked in with a teacup. Seeing the Empress Dowager's back, she wanted to say something but stopped.
The Empress Dowager finally inserted the incense and closed her hands to bow.
"Ancestor, this servant is not worth talking about.”Cao GuGu watched the empress dowager take the blue and white porcelain cup and asked in a low voice.
The empress dowager took a sip of tea and looked up at Cao GuGu.
Cao GuGu hurriedly kowtowed." This servant is too talkative. This servant deserves to die."”
"En, go down. There are many things that this widow cannot do.”The Empress Dowager waved her hand helplessly and turned to walk into the inner room." Go and rest tonight. Call an ordinary servant girl over. Take the night watch servant girl to the inner room."”The empress dowager left without another word.
Aunt Cao was still kneeling and kowtowing, but her eyes were filled with fear.
