Zhi Ran raised her head and said,"Concubine Dun is pregnant with a dragon descendant. The Emperor should prioritize her. Please rest assured about ChenQie."”
The Emperor nodded and said,"Then I will come to see you another day. You should rest early."”With that, he stood up and left. When the Emperor left, Zhi Ran suddenly realized that her heart was in pain, as if she had been stabbed by something.
In Yonghe Palace, Ruoqin was wiping Guxue's swollen face. Guxue's delicate face was now red and swollen.
"It's all bengong's fault for being so heavy-handed.”Ruoqin said with tears in her eyes.
"Master, don't say that. You really have wronged this servant. It was Consort Dun Pin who was bullying others. She was so arrogant because she had a dragon descendant!”
Ruoqin stared with tears in her eyes and said,""The bastard in her stomach! BenGong is so bitter! He shouldn't exist in this world!"
"Master, do you want to tell your noble about this?" Guxue asked as she covered her face with snow.”
Ruoqin shook her head and said,"There's no need. Even if she knows, what can she do? She'll only be worried." Besides, she had Imperial Concubine Xian's help now. No one could do anything to her.”
At this moment, Che Xuan came in." Ming Changzai, these are the tea leaves bestowed by our Consort Dun Pin. Please keep them."”After saying that, he placed the inferior tea leaves on the table and left with a smile. Looking at Che Xuan's departing figure, Ruoqin gritted her teeth in anger.
"Master, why didn't you stop the emperor?”Water Deity asked," I heard Fei Xing talk about those things just now. It's too much! Why didn't master tell the emperor?"
Zhi Ran smiled and said,"I envy Imperial Concubine Xian. She is so aloof from worldly affairs."?BenGong doesn't want to fight with them in the future. If they are favored, then let them be favored. BenGong won't fight with them, presumably they won't make things difficult for BenGong.”
"Master, how can you think like this?" Water Deity said anxiously. Imperial Concubine Xian did not fight because she was an Imperial Concubine! No one can shake her position, but you are different! "They will…" Zhi Ran waved her hand, indicating for her to stop talking.
"Bengong is tired, I will sleep first."
"Master, the weather is good today. Shall we go to the imperial garden for a walk?”Fei Xing said as she combed Zhi Ran's hair.
"No, let's go see Ruoqin. I didn't see her yesterday, so I'll go see her today.”Zhi Ran said as she tidied up her clothes.
After leaving Yanxi Palace, Zhi Ran saw Guan Ling sitting in a palanquin. "Greetings, Consort Dun Pin." Zhi Ran bowed.
Guan Ling stopped the palanquin and looked at Zhi Ran,"I didn't expect your noble to wake up so early. Last night I called the emperor away from your noble, your noble shouldn't blame bengong right?”
Zhi Ran lowered her head and said,"Dun Pin Niangniang must be joking. How can I blame you?" After all, the Empress was pregnant with the dragon heir, so he should still prioritize the Empress.”
"Of course." Guan Ling smiled proudly. The weather is cold in winter, is your charcoal fire enough?”
"Enough."
"Let bengong see what charcoal you're using.”After saying that, he gave a look and Feng Shi Nan entered Lin Cui Pavilion. Soon, he took out a basin of charcoal.
"Aiya! How could noble Ling use such terrible charcoal fire? Someone come, bengong wants to reward your noble with a new basin of charcoal fire. Feng Shinan, go and tell the Internal Affairs Office later that Lincui Pavilion can only use this kind of charcoal fire in the future! He heard that his sister's health was not good and she might even be infertile. However, he had to take good care of himself!”With that, he left with a smile.
"Who are you showing off your arrogance to? If the emperor comes, see if he will punish her!”Fei Xing said angrily.
"Forget it, let's go to Ruoqin."
When they arrived at the Daixia Hall, Ruoqin saw Zhi Ran with mixed feelings, and her eyes were filled with tears.
"What's wrong with little sister?" Zhi Ran looked at Ruoqin, who was sobbing, and turned to ask Guxue. When she saw Guxue's swollen face, she was shocked and asked,""What's going on?"
Guxue cried as she knelt in front of Zhi Ran and said,"Noble Ling doesn't know that our master has suffered a lot!”
Ruoqin wiped her tears and said,"I'm not the one who's suffering. It should be Guxue!"”
Zhi Ran was confused. She didn't know why this was happening, so she let Ruoqin speak slowly. Ruoqin told Zhi Ran about what happened last night. When Zhi Ran heard this, she was furious.”Then, he told Ruoqin what had happened.
"Sister, don't be angry. Now that she's favored, what can we do to her?”Ruoqin said," Sister, have some tea to calm down. Let's discuss it slowly."”
Zhi Ran took a sip of tea and immediately spat it out."Where did you get this tea? Nowadays, even the servants did not drink this kind of tea!”
Ruoqin turned her head to the other side and said,"Dun Pin asked the servant to give this to me last night. I don't have any tea here, so I can only use hers.”
Zhi Ran did not expect Ruoqin to be so down and out. She sighed and said,"I originally didn't want to fight with her anymore, but it seems that I have no choice! If we don't fight for favor, we can only let others trample on us!”Ruoqin nodded. Zhi Ran grabbed Ruoqin's hand and said,"Sister will definitely think of a way!" Definitely! We can only take her down by joining hands!”
On the way back to the palace, Fei Xing supported Zhi Ran and said,"Mistress, the more this servant thinks about it, the more it doesn't seem right. How did Dun Pin know that you can't be pregnant? Did everyone in the Imperial Academy of Medicine know about this?”
Zhi Ran stopped in her tracks and stared at Fei Xing with her eyes wide open."That's right! Perhaps the person who harmed me was Wang Guanling! "But we have no evidence, how can we…" As he spoke, he entered Lin Cui Pavilion and found that the entire Lin Cui Pavilion was filled with an unpleasant smell.
"What, what's going on? Narcissus? Narcissus?" After Zhi Ran shouted, she started coughing violently.
"Master! Get out!" Water Deity pulled Zhi Ran into the courtyard, then panted heavily.
"What's going on?" Zhi Ran asked.
"Replying to Mistress, these charcoal fires were all given to me by Consort Dun Pin. They are all crude and wet charcoal. Not only do they not give off heat, but they also emit an unpleasant smell.”Water Deity said.
"Men, throw these charcoal away. Don't go to the Internal Affairs Bureau to get charcoal again!”Zhi Ran frowned and said," Open all the windows to let some air in."”
"Master, without charcoal, how can we survive this winter?”Fei Xing frowned.
"Freezing to death is better than being poisoned to death. It doesn't matter. Let's hurry up and make more winter clothes.”Zhi Ran looked at Lin Cui Pavilion and said.
"Now that Dun Pin is in power, even the Emperor doesn't come here often. What should we do?”Water Deity asked.
Zhi Ran sighed and said,"BenGong has her own way." It's almost the New Year's Eve banquet, bengong must give the emperor's thoughts.”
The New Year's Eve banquet would arrive in a few days, but Zhi Ran caught a cold and was bedridden. When the Emperor found out, he rushed over to visit.
After entering Lincui Pavilion, the emperor found that there was no charcoal fire in the room. His dragon face was furious and reprimanded,"How do you do your jobs? It was snowing outside on such a cold day! There's no charcoal in the house?"
Narcissus and Fei Xing knelt down and said,"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" However, the charcoal fire given by the Internal Affairs Bureau is all crude wet charcoal. Once it is lit, there will be a poisonous smell!”
The Emperor looked at Zhi Ran's burning but pale face and was extremely angry,"Yuan Qing! Call the manager of the Internal Affairs Office over!”
After a while, the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Office came and knelt in front of the Emperor, trembling."This servant pays his respects to the Emperor…"
"Trash! How do you do things? He actually dared to give these wet charcoal to Ling Guiren! Are you tired of living? Men! Pull him down! Give me eighty strokes! Let's see if you'll learn your lesson!"
"Spare me, emperor! This, this, this…this was Consort Dun Pin's order! This servant doesn't dare to disobey!" The eunuch repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Concubine Dun?" The Emperor was obviously very surprised, but his tone changed from anger to suspicion."Yuan Qing, head to Yikun Palace! You! Go and get the best charcoal from the Internal Affairs Office for your noble to use!”
"Yes, sir! This servant obeys!" After the Emperor finished speaking, he put down Zhi Ran's hand and stood up to leave.
"Empress! The Empress is in trouble!" Che Xuan ran in in a panic.
"What's wrong?" Guan Ling was trying out the hairpin the Emperor had given her.
Che Xuan panted heavily." Your noble was sick today. The Emperor went to your noble's place and realized that they didn't light a charcoal fire. Only then did he know that the Internal Affairs Bureau had given them wet charcoal! The eunuch from the Internal Affairs Office said…"
Guan Ling knew that something was wrong. She turned around and asked,"Say what?"
"Said it was Empress's will. The emperor was furious and was now coming here!”Guan Ling was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She sat on the stool and didn't move.
"Empress? Empress! You see, this is…"
"The Emperor is here!" Guan Ling fell to the ground with a dazed expression.
"Empress! Empress, quickly get up!" Che Xuan struggled to pull Guan Ling up." Don't be afraid, Empress! You're pregnant with a dragon heir now, the emperor will definitely not punish the niangniang!”Hearing the word 'Longsi', Guan Ling subconsciously rubbed her belly and ran to the door to greet the Emperor.
"Dun Pin! Were you the one who did this?" The Emperor didn't let Guan Ling get up, but stared at her seriously.
Guan Ling said with tears in her eyes," I met your noble lady that day and she was rude to me. I was very angry and asked the Internal Affairs Bureau to deduct her charcoal. But I never asked the Internal Affairs Bureau to wet her charcoal, Your Majesty!"”
"How can you be so foolish? Back then, you once embezzled Xin Pin's things, and zhen was not willing to argue with you. Why do you not change after repeated admonishment? This time, if zhen still indulges you, then the other concubines in the harem will follow suit!”The Emperor looked at Guan Ling and scolded.
"ChenQie knows her mistake! ChenQie is willing to be punished, but please see that ChenQie has the dragon vein and let ChenQie give birth to a child before being punished!”Guan Ling cried herself hoarse as she kowtowed.
Hearing the word 'dragon vein' and seeing Guan Ling's tearful face, the Emperor's heart ached. "Get up first!" The Emperor's tone became much gentler as he reached out his hand to Guan Ling. Guan Ling was startled, but she quickly gave her hand to the Emperor and stood up. "Zhen is still very angry with you, but seeing that you admit your mistake, Zhen will not punish you! However, if you dare to mess around like this in the future, I will definitely punish you severely!”
"ChenQie understands! Thank you for your forgiveness, Emperor!" Guan Ling knelt down to thank him. Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
