Chapter 242: Remember the ruggedness of the past (1)

I was lying on the bed, only to feel that the wind seemed to be tight, but I was not pleased with the whistle and told Yumei to close the window.

The imperial physician next to me who diagnosed my pulse was not the Wan Yu physician I am familiar with, but a thin middle-aged man with a short beard on his lips and a bit of gloom in his eyes. He was frowning and wishing to speak. I have no time to care about him for the time being, asking him to silence first, and I only listen carefully to the conversation outside.

In this way, the conversations outside can also be heard at odds and ends.

"The concubine please greet the emperor." Concubine Hui's voice is always so gentle and watery.

"The concubine please greet the emperor." The voice was tactfully like a yellow eagle coming out of the valley. If I remember well, it should be Chen Baolin.

"Flat body." Shen Xiyao's voice was indifferent, making me strange.

"Chen Baolin did a few dim sum concubines and thought it was good, so he took her to the emperor on his own initiative and gave the emperor a taste." Hui Fei's voice brought a smile.

"Oh?" Shen Xiyao seemed a little interested: "What is it?"

"It's a special product sent by the concubine's mother. It's a common thing, but it's fresher." Chen Baolin's voice was a little timid, and it was pitiful to hear.

"It's sweet-scented osmanthus sugar cake and honey wolfberry lotus root noodle soup." Chen Baolin's voice sounded again: "The weather is dry in autumn. These two are the most nourishing. Please also try the emperor."

"It's really not easy to have fresh osmanthus at this time." Shen Xiyao's voice is still faint: "Baolin has the intention."

After such a moment of silence, I was puzzled. If Shen Xiyao showed impatience, Concubine Hui was a person who was good at observing words and behaviors, and would definitely leave. The two of them are not dumb, let alone the emperor being alone, shouldn't make the atmosphere cold.

Just thinking about it, I just listened to Concubine Hui's words. Instead of being calm and calm in the past, it revealed obvious hesitation.

"Actually, the concubine brought Baolin over because she wanted to report something to the emperor." There was a slight "rustling" sound.

"You get up first." Shen Xiyao's voice was a little more ups and downs: "Why is it so solemn?"

"Huh?" Concubine Hui hesitated for a moment and said: "The concubine and Chen Baolin had lunch today. When she heard that she had no intention to say something, the concubine felt that the matter was important, so he brought her to see the emperor."

"But it doesn't matter."

"The emperor, when the emperor personally conquered, one day his concubines went to the imperial garden to admire the flowers. Seeing that the queen empress and his Royal Highness were visiting the imperial garden together, they talked very happily. At that time, the concubines didn’t feel anything, they just thought about King Yu. Supervise the country, but you should also worry about the ancestral system not entering the inner court." Chen Baolin's voice is still sweet and beautiful, but it sounds like a sharp sword pierced into the body.

"In fact, Wang Yu is busy in the supervision of the country, so he should stay in Haiyantang."

"That's it?" Shen Xiyao's voice was slightly impatient.

"Also." Chen Baolin said anxiously: "A few days before the emperor returned in triumph, the concubine went to greet the queen empress. The palace said that the empress was seeing guests, and the concubine was waiting outside. After waiting for half an hour, Kunning Palace The little palace lady Qiuyan invited me into the hall and waited. I happened to see the empress and Wang Yu going to the back hall. After waiting for more than an hour, I didn't see them, so I left."

"Maybe the empress is discussing important matters with King Yu." Concubine Hui said a lot of mockery.

"Why?" Chen Baolin didn't seem to hear the distinction: "If it is a matter of discussion, why should all the palace ladies and eunuchs be sent out, leaving only Huiju at the door?" She thought about it and said again: " There is no need to close the window."

"The emperor?" Hui Concubine's voice solemnly said: "The concubine couldn't persuade Chen Baolin to think more, and after hearing some rumors in the palace, he brought her here."

"Rumor?" Shen Xiyao's tone actually contained a smile, but it made my hair stand tall.

"What rumors?" His tone was so relaxed, as if Concubine Hui was about to tell a funny joke.

"The concubine once heard that Empress and King Yu?" Concubine Hui didn't seem to dare to say, but she finally said, "I used to be very close."

"Bang!" With a cry, Shen Xiyao smashed the cup when he wanted to come. "Absurd! Who is preaching such nonsense?" His voice was furious.

"Yes?" Concubine Hui hesitated for a moment, her voice low: "It's the moon nobleman."

Silence, silence for a long time, I only heard my heart beating, trying to jump out of my chest.

Yumei was full of atmosphere and wanted to rush out. I took her sleeve and shook her head. I want to listen to what they have to say.

"Yuezhiren," Shen Xiyao's voice was lazy: "What did she say?"

Concubine Hui didn't say a word for a while, and then whispered: "The concubine dare not say it. If the emperor wants to know, it's better to let Yue Guiren say it by himself?" There was a little fear in her voice.

When I was silent again, my heart hung in my throat. I believe that Shen Xiyao will not preach Haoyue. After all, my past with Xihe is a secret he doesn't want anyone to know.

"Zhang Dehai, let the noble person come here." Shen Xiyao's voice sounded in the silent palace. My heart fell fiercely, and Shen Xi passed the Haoyue far away, what was his intention?

After a moment of silence in the outer hall, Chen Baolin's soft voice sounded: "Please try the craftsmanship of the concubine, the emperor, the lotus root powder will not taste good when it is cold."

I calmed my undulating chest and asked Yumei to hand me a glass of water, facing the thoughtful eyes of the imperial doctor.

"Why not Wanyu Doctor?" I doubted.

"Returning to Niang Niang's words, Wan Yu recently reported that he was sick at home, and his minister came to treat Niang Niang." His voice was flat and dumb, and it made people feel as if the autumn wind blowing through the leaves.

"I don't know how to call it?" I smiled.

"Xiaochen's name is Yan." He lowered his eyes.

"But there are three Yan in the door?" Yumei handed a cup of tea.

"No, it's Yan Luo's Yan." His voice lowered, as if coming from the bottom of Jiuyou, making me shiver.

I was about to speak, only listening to the small eunuch's announcement sounded outside: "The moon is here."

"Concubine see the emperor!" Haoyue's voice was as soft and timid as ever, which was pitiful.

"Flat body." Shen Xiyao's voice was cold and far away.

"Mr. Yue, did you talk to this palace before? The emperor also wants to know." Hui Fei's voice seemed very embarrassing.

"I don't know what Empress Hui Hui said." Haoyue said in surprise.

"That's it?" Concubine Hui stopped talking.

"Concubine Hui said, do you tell her that the queen has a private relationship with Wang Yu?" Shen Xiyao's voice was unhappy.

"The emperor?" With a thump, Haoyue's voice resounded again: "Chen concubine?? Chen concubine??"

"Is there or not?" Every word Shen Xiyao uttered was full of anger.

In fact, in the outer hall, except for Chen Baolin, everyone else knows that I was out of the palace.

"This?" Haoyue's voice seemed to come from a very far away place: "Yes."

"Say!" Shen Xiyao's voice was suddenly calm.

"At the time, the emperor did not allow the empress to leave Kunning Palace and did not see her. She couldn't bear to sneak out of Kunning Palace in a deserted state. She didn't want to meet King Yu. She met with him several times and gave birth to affection. She also exchanged her love tokens. The empress is very precious. The ground is hidden in a small box, waiting for idlers to not touch it." Haoyue's tone was very calm, as if she was just talking about what she saw when passing by the Yuhuayuan: "Later, Wang Yu said before going out to marry the empress after triumphant return, but the empress did not refuse She even pretended to be out of the palace to see him off.” She paused, and saw Shen Xiyao not speaking, and continued: “Later, she met the emperor and spoiled the sixth palace. The emperor dislikes Concubine Liu." Haoyue paused for a moment to explain: "She used a special spice on her clothes, which has a light milky fragrance, and babies like to smell it. So Linglong doesn't want Concubine Liu as long as her. Her words irritated Concubine Liu and Linglong. She lost her grace in front of the emperor."

"The concubine remembered that you were dissatisfied with Concubine Liu's dislike of Linglong at first, and the concubine was still thinking about any biological mother who didn't like her children." Concubine Hui interrupted in a timely manner.

"Later, when she saw that Concubine Liu was not going to fall, it happened that Xiao Guizi knew some Gu techniques, so she instructed Xiao Guizi to punish Concubine Liu to hurt her, thereby bringing Concubine Liu down." Haoyue's voice was slightly angry: "After that, she was afraid. When things were revealed, Xiao Xizi was arranged to assassinate Xiao Guizi, but Xiao Guizi found out before he went to assassinate her." Haoyue paused: "At that time, King Yu desperately took the white tiger's nose bone back, and the emperor did everything he could to treat her, and finally saved her life. ."

Chen Baolin's surprised voice sounded: "Wang Yu is so loyal to the emperor that he has to take the tiger's nasal bone without fear of his life. It is really touching!"

Concubine Hui snorted coldly: "The concubine asks the emperor to think about it. If it is not for the deepest love, is it too loyal?"

Shen Xiyao didn't say a word. I don't know how he feels about those words. I just hope he believes me.

"Concubine Hui knew about this early?" Shen Xiyao's voice became colder, revealing that he was not coming soon.

"When I return to the emperor, the concubine also knows it intermittently." Concubine Hui's voice sounded a little nervous.

"Why don't you tell me, Master Yue?" Shen Xiyao's voice was playful.

"Concubine?" Haoyue was speechless for a while.

Shen Xiyao's questioning was reasonable and reasonable. Since he knew these things that hurt the royal dignity, he had been silent but mentioned it again after so many years, then where did he put the emperor in the first place?

"After all, the concubine is the queen’s family girl. Although she is dissatisfied with what she has done, she can’t ignore the friendship for so many years." Haoyue sobbed: "The concubine was sold to Ling Mansion since childhood and was adopted by the butler, and she became a beauty from the concubine. Later, she was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so she threatened her concubine with the safety of her adoptive father. The concubine was concerned about feelings on the one hand and worried about the safety of her adoptive father, so she had to remain silent."

"Then why did you tell Concubine Hui?" Shen Xiyao asked.

"Although the court concubine has been favored by the emperor, she has no favor and can only live in the deep palace." Haoyue's voice became calmer: "On the one hand, she felt lonely and helpless on the other hand. She was favored when she cried alone in the Royal Garden. When the concubine saw it, she comforted her, and she became fate.

Concubine Hui said at the right time: "When my concubine was walking in the imperial garden, I heard someone crying, and when I saw Shi Yue Meiren, I thought everyone was bullying her because she turned from a palace maid to a beauty, and she wondered why she didn't cling to the well-loved queen to become a popular person At that time, Yue Guiren didn't tell his concubine anything, only that he missed her relatives. Later, the concubine occasionally visited her and saw that she was always frowning and praying for her family, and she slowly learned about this."

"What you said is very different from what the Queen Suri is. I don't want to believe in one-sided words, but I will investigate it thoroughly. It's just," he paused, and his tone was abrupt: "Concubine Hui already knows, why don't you tell me? Is it true that I am very happy looking at my wronged and good person wearing a green cap?"

"The concubine dare not!" Concubine Hui's voice was very apprehensive, even with some crying: "The concubine has always refused to listen to these gossips, and always thinks that the queen's empress is a good example. The concubine of Yuegui has always been half-believing. After all, the royal face queen and King Yu would not ignore it. Later, the queen was seriously ill and recuperated in Yaotai, Pengdao, and King Yu went to pray for the queen mother. The concubines thought that even if it was true, they were separated, so they didn't mention it."

"Oh." Shen Xiyao's voice was calm: "That's it."

He suddenly began to laugh, first softly, then loudly, laughing terribly.

"This lotus root powder is really good." His voice was light: "If you want to come, the queen will like it too. Zhang Dehai!"

"The minion is here!"

"Send to the side hall to give the queen a taste, and then see how the imperial doctor diagnosed."

I got out of bed and smiled at Yu Yu: "My palace just listened so engrossedly that I forgot to ask you what's wrong." As I squeezed the temple, he squeezed it out and said straightly: "So, you Just talk to the emperor directly."

Yu Doctor Yan gave me a weird look and then lowered his head. His voice was stagnant, as if he was struggling. "Did you think about it? The minister directly reported to the emperor?"

I nodded, despising his abnormality.

"Chen Zongzhi." He bent down deeply, until I walked out of the side hall, he was still bowing in the light.
