The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 183 Emperor's Return ([-])

The emperor took a few steps forward, held down Wanyu's body who was about to get up and saluted, held her hand and said with a light smile: "Not many people in the palace know about this, the queen is seriously ill, I have been with her for a day, and I feel very sad." I also miss you. No, I came early in the morning."

Wanyu glanced outside the room, saw the morning light in the east, and the emperor's handsome face was a bit tired, she felt a little distressed and said: "The emperor has rushed back to the palace in the past few days, so he should rest in the empress's palace Take good care of it, and come to concubine's place so early in the morning, concubine looks really distressed."

The emperor looked at Wanyu with disappointment and anxiety in his eyes: "Since Chenghu passed away, I always miss him in my heart, and there is no day when I can sleep in peace. He is so smart and beautiful. How can you say it's gone?" He sighed, and the breath from his nose hit Wanyu's hand, cold and faint: "I'm worried that the emperor's grandmother will aggravate her illness after hearing about it, so she can only force herself to smile in front of others. But I was secretly annoyed. Later, a letter came from the palace, saying that Chenghu was assassinated by Yunshan to death, and I blamed myself and was very scared."

The emperor held Wanyu's hand even tighter, with tears in his eyes: "If I hadn't made a mistake with her that day, how could there have been so many disasters later? Queen."

Looking at his mournful expression, Wanyu couldn't help feeling sad: "Your Majesty, I have something to do with my concubine. Speaking of it now, it may make you feel a little better."

The emperor lowered his eyebrows and nodded without saying a word, and then said politely: "Actually, you are always alone with Yunshan, and you can't be in love with yourself. It's not your fault. It's because she used Mongolian fragrant medicine."

The emperor was a little surprised, he frowned and asked: "Mongolian fragrant medicine? It is used to aphrodisiac when men and women are happy. She is in the inner palace, where can I get that evil thing?"

"Concubine Hui." Wan Lai said lightly, "When the concubines had not yet entered the palace, Concubine Hui had received the holy favor for many years alone. How could I know the reason why there was no such medicine? Fortunately, this medicine does not cause serious damage to the body, if it is not so , she is truly guilty."

The emperor was silent for a moment, with a bitter sneer on the corner of his mouth: "I never imagined that the people next to my pillow would plan everything against me to such an extent."

Wan'er moved her body to get closer to the emperor, then wrapped her hands around the emperor's neck, and whispered to her ear: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Wan'er will never plot to betray you in this life, and Wan'er will accompany you in all difficult and difficult things in the future." By your side, with you to face."

When these words came out, Wan Yu herself was also taken aback.

She is the most respectful of rules, but now it is unreasonable for Shen Shiran to say these words.

Only the queen has always been able to accompany the emperor, so how can it be her turn to a woman who is not even considered a concubine?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt a warm temperature coming from her back.

The emperor put one arm around her and hugged her tightly, and brushed her forehead with the other, and couldn't help saying: "I know what Wan'er is thinking, and I can assure you that although I can't give you the title of wife in this life, I will never give you the title of wife." No matter how suspicious and loathing you are, I want you to accompany me, not to travel thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but to depend on each other for years and years, never tire of seeing each other, and always be good."

The two dated for a long time, Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo, who were waiting outside the house, were also very happy when they saw this, and hurried into the small kitchen to prepare the breakfast for their emperor and Wannai.

During the meal, Wanyu filled a bowl of freshly ground soybean milk for the emperor, and took a chopsticks of fried spring rolls and handed it to the emperor. Seeing that the emperor had a lingering look on his face, she asked, "The emperor seems to have a bad appetite."

The emperor looked at the table full of dishes, but it was just breakfast, so he prepared six side dishes, vegetarian with assorted, dried fruit emerald rolls, ice moon lotus seed tremella, stewed quail, aromatherapy foie gras, orchid tofu, and freshly ground soy milk , Qibao sweet soup, fried spring rolls and shrimp and crab buns are served as the main course, and the remaining desserts are full of four plates.

He looked at Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo who were serving at the side, nodded and smiled: "The dishes are all delicious and delicate, these palace people in your palace have spent a lot of time."

Wan Yu smiled peacefully, raised her eyebrows and said to the two of them: "You are still in a daze, the emperor praises you, why don't you thank me?"

Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo were about to kneel with a smile, but they heard the emperor say: "Go down and receive the reward, I want to be alone with Concubine Wan for a while."

Wan Lai wondered what was going on with the emperor, and only after Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo retreated behind closed doors, the emperor said: "I heard that you and the queen's palace had a wildfire together. It seems accidental, but it seems man-made."

Wan Yu was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Why did the emperor say that?"

Although there was still a joyful smile on the corner of Wan Lai's mouth, her heart gradually became cold.

From the bottom of her heart, she knew how the will-o'-the-wisp was born, but she kept it a secret from the queen, because she secretly hated the queen for ordering Concubine Hui to execute her mother to death in advance, and she didn't want her to be happy.

Now that the emperor has this question, don't be suspicious of her.

"According to the people in the palace, the big will-o'-the-wisps burn again on rainy days, and they are always enchanting and weird. I asked Ba Tai, the great scholar of the Hall of Central Harmony, in private, and what he said, when red phosphorus meets water, it turns blue and green. Will-o'-the-wisp, what happened that day really seems like someone deliberately took Yunshan's death to intimidate you and the queen."

Hearing what the emperor said, Wan Lai's hanging heart gradually let go.She pretended to be surprised, and asked with widened black eyes: "Is there such a thing? The concubine always thought that the will-o'-the-wisp only appeared in the field cemetery, and it was an evil thing, but she didn't want to be able to create it out of thin air." , really strange."

The emperor pulled Wannai's hand and explained in detail: "After death, a person turns into a skeleton, and there is phosphorus in the bone, which is why will-o'-the-wisps arise. There are dead people's bones? This must be done deliberately, if this is the case, you have to keep an eye on it in private."

Wan Yu thought for a moment, nodded and replied: "That's the case, I should tell the empress, so I won't be so afraid of ghosts in my heart."

"Compared to ghosts, sometimes people's hearts are the scariest." The emperor waved his hand, picked up a chopsticks of foie gras, and then sighed: "I haven't mentioned this to anyone else, but I only told you. The queen passed by Yun Shan pretends to be a god and plays ghosts, and she already cares about it in her heart. If she knows that Yunshan is not the only one in the harem who has such thoughts, and she doesn't know how to panic and worry, then it will be useless for her recovery."

Wannai looked calm, and said with a gentle smile: "The emperor is thoughtful, now that the emperor is with him, the empress is at ease, and the disease will naturally heal faster. The concubine will also pay attention to it in private, to see who moves Wrong mind."

The emperor's eyebrows and eyes were like spring water, and he stared at Wanyu: "You understand my thoughts best, but you have to take care of yourself. This matter is aimed at you and the queen, and you need to be more careful in everything."

Wan Lai smiled slightly, and raised two shallow pear dimples: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." She said, and filled a bowl of freshly ground soybean milk for the Emperor, resting her chin with her hands, like a girl in a boudoir, staring shyly at The emperor drank it.
