The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 140 You are my concubine's daughter-in-law

Situ Yan stopped in front of an abandoned palace in the southwest.

This palace has not been inhabited for a long time.The vermilion gate is already mottled, and on the tattered plaque covered with cobwebs, the words "Qiong Yue Palace" can be vaguely seen.

Qin Wange looked at Situ Yan in confusion, and Situ Yan said slowly, "Qingyue Palace is the palace where the queen mother and concubine lived before, and this word was also written by my father."

With that said, he pushed open the mottled palace door and entered.

Although the mottled palace door was locked, the lock had been decayed for many years, and Situ Yan pushed it lightly, and it opened.

After Situ Yan pushed open the palace gate, there was a hidden cave inside.

Qin Wange finally understood why this place was called Qiongyue Palace.At this time, May is the season of viburnum blooming. With the moonlight tonight, the white flowers are embedded in the green leaves, so cute.

When the wind blows, the viburnum falls and accumulates there like snow.It can be said to be: "Thousands of pearls hold Surui, and a ring of bright moon breaks fairy flowers."

"I didn't expect the imperial concubine to be proficient in Han poetry?" Situ Yan looked back at her with a smile.

It turned out that she read it unconsciously.Qin Wange said with a smile, "My mother's mother is Han Chinese, and she taught me some Han culture since I was a child. It’s because she didn’t even learn the superficial, but Adai learned to be proficient, I don’t know how much better than me.”

"Didn't the imperial concubine learn an invincible way of making and administering poison? This is also living up to your mother's expectations."

Qin Wange smiled slightly, thankfully Situ Yan didn't pursue it further.

He opened the door and walked in first.

Although it looks dilapidated outside the palace, the things inside are relatively tidy, as if no one has lived in it for many years.

Situ Yan saw the doubt in Qin Wange's eyes, and said lightly: "Since the death of my mother and concubine, this place has gradually become deserted, but my king has sent people to watch this place all these years, and regularly clean it up. Let the concubine be the last trace left in this world."

By the moonlight, Qin Wange saw that when Situ Yan mentioned his mother and concubine, there was a touch of longing in his eyes, and the eyes were very soft.

No matter how cynical Situ Yan looks on the surface, there is no doubt that he is a passionate person.

Qin Wange had also vaguely heard about Situ Yan's background. Situ Yan's mother concubine Qiongfei was not very noble, but it is said that her appearance was the best in the six palaces, and she was favored by the late emperor. She was the most favored when she was alive. The sixth house is not an exaggeration.

But the concubine is unlucky, because Concubine Qiong was not in good health after giving birth to Situ Yan, and she passed away when Situ Yan was a teenager, leaving Situ Yan alone.

The first emperor loved Concubine Qiong very much, and he naturally attached great importance to Situ Yan as a son. However, there were many women in the harem who were jealous of Concubine Qiong's dominance in the sixth palace. Concubine Qiong passed her resentment on to Situ Yan when she died. He was raised by the empress dowager, the former concubine Li.

In the past, Concubine Li was kind by nature, because she also came from a low family background. She and Concubine Qiong were rare sisters who could speak in the palace. Looking around, I was stunned to let Situ Yan grow up to adulthood smoothly, and it also allowed Situ Yan to learn a whole body of culture and martial arts, and he was unparalleled in style.

She treated Situ Yan almost better than her son Situ Rui.

Therefore, over the years, although Situ Rui has done many wrong things and hurt Situ Yan, Situ Yan still respects the Queen Mother very much.

Qin Wange looked at Situ Yan's side face, the originally picturesque eyebrows were illuminated by the moonlight, Qin Wange couldn't help thinking about it, saying that a son is like a mother, from Situ Yan's evil face On her face, one can vaguely see how peerless the Concubine Qiong was back then.

Situ Yan felt a little uncomfortable with Qin Wange's sizing eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Wange consciously lost his mind, shook his head lightly, changed the subject, and said, "It's nothing, did your mother and concubine plant this Qionghua?"

"Mother and concubine was born in the south of the Yangtze River and likes Qionghua, so my father planted a palace of Qionghua for my mother and concubine." There was a little sadness in Situ Yan's tone of voice.

Seeing the sadness in Situ Yan's tone, Qin Wange apologized, "Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned these things to you."

On the contrary, Situ Yan quickly felt relieved, and said, "It's nothing, the concubine mother has been dead for many years, and it's just a memory."

With that said, Situ Yan led Qin Wange to the inner hall.

The inner hall didn't look like it hadn't been lived in for decades. It seemed that Situ Yan really put a lot of thought into it.

Situ Yan lit the candle, and Qin Wange saw the furnishings in the inner hall. A lyre was placed in the sleeping hall, and the unfinished piece of music was put aside, as if the master who wrote the piece would be back soon.

"After the concubine mother left, the furnishings in this room have not changed for many years. I always feel that the concubine mother is still the same when these things are left." Situ Yan seemed to be talking to himself.

Qin Wange touched the piano, and the teacups on the table. Perhaps every item here is the best memory of Situ Yan's childhood.

He kept everything inside very well, which shows Situ Yan's affection and care for his mother.

This cherished memory, even after decades, is still engraved in my heart.Then, will Situ Yan's affection for him be the same as the affection for his mother and concubine, will he always remember it and never forget it?

Seeing Qin Wange looking at the teacup in a daze, Situ Yan asked aloud, "What's wrong?"

Qin Wange came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that the things inside are well preserved. I don't know how the prince did it all these years?"

"After the death of the mother and concubine, the father ordered people to lock the Qiongyue Palace. No one dared to touch the things inside, and kept them as before. Later, when the king grew up, he thought that it was all the father's and mother's concubine's. As far as my memory is concerned, after the death of my father, it is my king's responsibility to protect everything in Qiongyue Palace."

"The first emperor was an infatuated man." Qin Wange said with emotion, no wonder there is such a son who values ​​love and righteousness like Situ Yan.

But why did the first emperor have such a crazy and inhuman son as Situ Rui?Born to the same father, although they are not siblings of the same mother, they are clearly raised by the same mother. Situ Yan and Situ Rui are completely different, they are simply worlds apart.

Thinking about it, Qin Wange couldn't help laughing and said: "Then the prince brought me here tonight and let me live here, isn't he afraid of destroying the things in Qiongyue Palace?"

"What are you afraid of? You are the concubine's daughter-in-law. This king must bring you here to meet her."

When Situ Yan said this, he was half joking and half serious.

In a word, it made Qin Wange feel a warm current slipping through his heart, like spring rain, moistening things silently.

Daughter-in-law, what a heavy word.

Situ Yan, could it be that life and death have passed through once, I am completely changed after death, can you still recognize me?
Or, God knows that I owed you too much in my previous life, no matter how many times I have passed through life and death, I still hope that I can make up for your infatuation and affection?
Situ Yan happened to look at her, the candlelight was flickering, his eyes met, warming the room.

Mother, have you seen it?Your son brought your daughter-in-law back, are you satisfied?
……

This night was the best and sweetest sleep Qin Wange had had since returning to Xiling.

The next morning.

All the concubines went to Qifeng Palace to pay their respects to Xu Qiushui, as usual, the imperial concubine still did not come to pay his respects.

Xu Qiushui was still sullen, and wanted to find someone to vent her anger on, but everyone respected her, and after paying her respects, she didn't say a word. She couldn't find any faults to find fault with, and her mood was even worse.

Suddenly, I saw Concubine Lan who was kneeling in the crowd. She was still wearing a simple and elegant light blue dress today, a butterfly hosta on her head, and the same earrings on her ears.The whole person is clean and fresh.

But today Xu Qiushui was wearing the skirt of the butterfly play peony, and she frowned when she saw Concubine Lan's dress and said, "Last time, Concubine Yin was punished by Bengong in Yulan Palace because she had a conflict with Bengong in wearing it. I have been introspecting for three days. Why is it that Concubine Lan has not had a long memory until now? Bengong is wearing a butterfly peony skirt, and you are also wearing a butterfly jade hairpin like Bengong. Are you trying to steal the limelight from me?"

These words were clearly out of thin air, and it was clear that she deliberately found someone to be unlucky to vent her anger. Although Concubine Lan was not convinced, she knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty and said: "The concubine has no such intentions, please forgive the empress."

Xu Qiushui snorted coldly, and said: "Then An Lingsu's disrespect to me is because of the emperor's favor. I can't touch An Lingsu for the time being, so it's possible that you guys are going to get on top of me!"

All the concubines including Concubine Yin knelt on the ground and said, "I dare not."

"It's good to know if you don't dare. Do you really think that I don't know about the gossip in the palace now? You'd better be smart. She An Lingsu is a favorite now, but in the end she is just a princess from southern Xinjiang. That's all, she's an imperial concubine if she spoils the sky! This palace is the empress, and I have raised princes for the emperor, so you should decide in your heart who is the most honorable among the six palaces!" Xu Qiushui reprimanded in a bad tone.

"There is also Concubine Lan, who despises the palace and punishes Concubine Lan for ten days to copy the "Diamond Sutra" ten times, just to warn others." Xu Qiushui said.

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no way for Concubine Lan to justify anything, she can only endure this innocent disaster silently.

The others just watched Concubine Lan being punished coldly, there was no one to intercede for Concubine Lan.No one would offend the Empress Empress for a silent Concubine Lan. You must know that what happened to Concubine Lan has nothing to do with them, but if she offended the Empress Empress, it would be a fatal matter.
