The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 312
Thinking that Lin Lan had gone to the Palace of Mercy to invite Empress Dowager An Renxian, and then something like this happened, she must have been blamed by Empress Dowager Renxian.

When she went to visit with Shuang Ruoyun Chan, Lin Lan closed the palace door tightly, and she could be seen leaning against the palace door sobbing and crying.

Wanyu hurriedly knocked on the palace door a few times, and called out loudly: "Lin Lan, Lin Lan!"

Because talents entered the palace, eunuchs and maids have not yet been assigned to serve, and now he is trapped alone in it, which is really worrying.

Remembering that she was a face-saving person, she waved her hands and ordered Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo to retreat, and then said softly: "Now I'm alone, why don't you want to see me?"

Only then did Lin Lan open the palace gate, her face was full of tears, and she cried out full of grievances: "Sister."

Wanyu saw a few fingerprints on her left cheek, which was raised high and half the width of a palm. She immediately became nervous and asked, "What's the matter? How can you be hurt like this?" She said, on Lin Lan's face. After stroking it lightly, Lin Lan let out a 'hiss' in pain, and Wan Yu hurriedly ordered Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo to fetch the best wound medicine.

Only after taking the wound medicine did he dismiss the palace people who were watching the excitement, closed the palace gate tightly and entered with Lin Lan's hand.

He took the ointment and applied it gently on Lin Lan's face. The ointment was cold to the nose and had the effect of relieving pain.

At that time, Lin Lan stopped crying, she shook her head with a slight sob at the tip of her nose, and said, "Sister, I'm so scared."

"What's the matter?" Wanyu had never seen her so nervous, her whole body couldn't help shaking: "You went to the Empress Dowager's Palace to pay her respects, but she beat you?"

Lin Lan hesitated a little, she gritted her teeth and said: "The Empress Dowager wants me to go to her palace every day to learn the rules, but today I entered the palace, so she ordered the little eunuch of the Palace of Mercy to hold me down, and then ordered me The palace servants take turns to slap my mouth."

Wan Yu frowned and asked, "Why?"

Lin Lan shook her head with a clear face: "There is no reason, I just said that I asked An to be late. But the Queen Mother talked to us for a while, so I don't blame me for this matter. Where did the Queen Mother hear this? Sophistry, and I was beaten again. And said... and said such things, it will happen every day in the future."

Lin Lan slowly raised the sleeve, and it was shocking to see the wound dripping.

Although Empress Dowager Renxian resented Linlan in her heart, it was unheard of for such a heavy responsibility, and Linlan was the most sacred person among the newly appointed people. Isn't it because Empress Dowager Renxian did this clearly that she would not give the emperor face?

Wan Yu carefully applied medicine to her wounds, and couldn't help but said heartbroken: "How can this go on? One day has become like this, and the days to come will be longer." She said, and suddenly got up and walked out: "No way. , we have to tell the emperor about this."

Lin Lan wanted to stop her, but Wan Yu was in a mess when she cared about her. She only cared about Lin Lan's safety, so she couldn't care less about it.

When Ren Fang came out of the palace, he happened to collide with the emperor's driver. Seeing her hurried expression, the emperor hurriedly asked, "I was going to your palace to look for you, so absent-minded, what happened?"

Wan Lai slowed down for a while, and only after she calmed down did she tell the emperor what happened here.

As expected, the emperor frowned, and hurried into the palace with Wanyu to look at Linlan, comforted her, and then walked straight to the Palace of Mercy.

At that time, Empress Dowager Renxian was standing in front of the altar to pay respects to the Buddha and chant scriptures, when the green bamboo came to report to the emperor, she smiled lightly and ordered her to invite someone to come in.

The emperor was furious when he came, but when he opened his mouth, the Empress Dowager Renxian said: "Is the emperor showing such an angry look to the Ai family? It's just that your concubine in the harem doesn't know the etiquette, and the Ai family ordered someone to slap you." She slaps her twice, why is the emperor like this?"

"I don't want to mention what the Queen Mother has done. I just want to say something to the Queen Mother today. From now on, Lan promises to avoid entering the Palace of Mercy and Ren to pay her respects."

"Emperor!" Empress Dowager Renxian said without hesitation, "She was born as a maidservant, does the Emperor really value her so much?"

The emperor sighed alone: ​​"Even if she is an ordinary palace lady, the Queen Mother shouldn't be like this." He glanced at the sandalwood burning in front of the Buddhist altar, and said slightly mockingly: "The Queen Mother pays tribute to the Buddha and chant sutras every day. How is the person beaten? Not even a piece of good meat can be seen from top to bottom?"

Empress Dowager Renxian shouted: "It's just two slaps, how can you be so delicate?"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "I know that the queen mother is not satisfied with Lan's agreement, but no matter how dissatisfied you are, she is also my concubine. You have a high status, so you really can't afford to argue with her. I and the queen mother are of the same heart and mind. Everything I think is for the other party's consideration, so even if I don't value her nobleman, I will give her face in the end. Now the empress doesn't value Lan's promise, but if I think about my son in my heart, I should give her face."

Empress Dowager Renxian was silent for a moment, then shook her head helplessly and said, "Emperor, are you and my mother and son really separated?"

"It's not that I have a relationship with the Queen Mother, it's just that the Queen Mother is dissatisfied with my son." The Emperor made a shallow bow and said calmly: "There is something in the previous court, and the son will retire first."

The Empress Dowager Renxian looked at the back of the emperor leaving resolutely, the bright yellow color was extremely dazzling, which made her bloody for a moment, and she fell heavily on the chair.

Qingzhu hurriedly gave her a hand, and persuaded her: "Queen Mother, what do you think you care about with that maidservant? You can't do it."

"It's really different today, it's really different from the past." The Empress Dowager Renxian murmured dazedly, casually grabbed the round fan on the table and threw it on the ground: "Ai Jiagui is the queen mother of the Qing Dynasty, so I agreed with mere one." Can't you fight too? When the late emperor was around, the Ai family wiped out the Six Palaces, where did they suffer such humiliation?"

Although the emperor exempted Linlan from paying her respects to Anciren Palace, Linlan woke up early the next day before going to Kunning Palace to pay her respects, so she came here to pay her respects to Empress Dowager An Renxian.

Empress Dowager Renxian was so depressed that she could sleep peacefully all night. When she saw Lin Lan, she became even more angry: "Why are you here? You are amazing, and the Ai family can't control you! Get out!"

Lin Lan leaned over, bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager Renxian, and said with a slight smile, "The Emperor dismissed my concubine to greet her, and my concubine will never forget her filial piety. My concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Queen Mother is blessed."

This bow revealed the scar on her arm, Empress Dowager Renxian saw it at a glance, her eyes turned dark and she frowned and said: "The way of mourning the family is only to give you two slaps, why is the emperor so angry?" She got up and walked to Lin Lan Next to her, he grabbed her arm, showing scars, and said with a sneer, "You really have the heart to do something to yourself just because you are plotting against your family?"

It turned out that yesterday, the Empress Dowager Renxian ordered the palace servants to slap her just to admonish Lin Lan, just for any reason.

But none of the eye-catching scars on her body came from the hands of Empress Dowager Renxian.

Ben was wondering why the emperor had such a big temper, but now seeing Lin Lan like this, he immediately understood various reasons in his heart.
