The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 616 Don't Leave You ([-])

At [-]:[-] noon the next day, Yu Jia returned to the palace.

With the decoction and medicine along the way, and the accompanying imperial physician taking care of him meticulously, the emperor's health is already mostly healed.

All the way back, he entered the Palace of Mercy and reported to the Queen Mother that he was safe, and hurried to Yongshou Palace to visit Zhuo Lan who was pregnant.

Zhuo Lan greeted the emperor at the door early in the morning, and seeing the royal driver coming from afar, tears shed on her face, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow.

The emperor got off the sedan chair and held his hand and asked her: "A person with a body, why is he still standing in the air?"

Zhuo Lan burst into tears when she heard the emperor's words.

Regardless of etiquette, she threw herself forward and hugged the emperor tightly, feeling his hot body temperature and steady heartbeat: "It scared me to death, I was afraid that I would not see the emperor, and that the baby in my womb would lose Amma."

The emperor took her into his arms, feeling a lot in his heart, but he still loved and joked with her in every possible way: "Nizi is talking nonsense, I hope I am not good."

She suddenly smiled, wiped away her tears, patted the emperor's chest lightly a few times, and said coquettishly: "It's too late for my concubine to wait for the emperor's good luck! The emperor is used to making fun of my concubines."

The emperor took her by the hand into the bedroom, ordered the palace servants to close the windows, and then ordered the palace servants to boil donkey-hide gelatin blood swallows, every word and deed showed his ardent concern for Zhuo Lan.

After asking for warmth, Zhuo Lan lay in the emperor's arms and heard the emperor ask: "I heard that the day I left the palace, the noble concubine called you into Changchun Palace, what did I say to you?"

Zhuo Lan smiled and said: "It's just a common thing to gossip with concubines. If the imperial concubine hadn't seen the concubine's nausea and asked a few words that day, the concubine might still be kept in the dark. She is a foolish person who doesn't know she is pregnant. .”

She said, sighed again, shook her head helplessly and said: "I don't know which foolish person spread the word to the prince's ears that day. The prince rushed to see the concubine vomiting badly, thinking that it was the concubine who was embarrassing the concubine. Arguing with the imperial concubine. The concubine has repeatedly stated that she has nothing to do with the imperial concubine, but the prince is so arrogant that he can't listen to the concubine's words. After all, the prince really spoke too much, so he was beaten by the imperial concubine."

"Wan'er is right to hit you." The emperor said coldly: "My son, I owe such a good fight!"

I stayed with Zhuo Lan for another half an hour, and seeing her sleepy and yawning, the emperor said: "You snooze during pregnancy, so you can rest. The war in the previous dynasty was intense. Although I returned to the palace, the political affairs must not stop. , many things still need to be taken care of. Let’s wait until tomorrow, and tomorrow I will come to see you again.”

Zhuo Lan reluctantly let go of the emperor's hand, and said coquettishly: "The emperor must come to see my concubine tomorrow, and my concubine is waiting for you."

Leaving Yongshou Palace, Liang Jiugong asked when getting up the sedan chair: "Is the emperor going back to the palace?"

The emperor was silent for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Go and see the noble concubine. I am not feeling well, she must be worried, if she sees that I am fine, she can feel at ease."

At the beginning of returning to the palace, the emperor was very busy.

In fact, there are really countless concubines in the palace who are looking forward to him returning to the palace to catch a glimpse of him, but Wannai is not among them.

It's just that when the emperor came, she also pretended to be concerned.

But in the bottom of her heart, she was concerned about Shen Ye's safety, so she couldn't say a few words, so she pretended to ask unintentionally: "The emperor's trip is to join the logistics team, seeing how Shen Ye is handling things?"

Mentioning Shen Ye, the emperor's face gradually brightened: "You, Ama, have really cultivated for me a person who is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, and who has real skills. I really wronged him when I asked him to be an imperial guard."

Hearing what the emperor said, she was sure that Shen Ye was safe, so Wanyu felt a little relieved.

But what the emperor said next made her restless mind suspend again.

"He is eager to express himself, and all he lacks is an opportunity. I also feel that it is a waste to ask him to serve as the logistics commander, so I personally ordered him to go to the front line and become Fuquan's deputy general. After the crusade against Galdan is over, we will You should add an official to him, let him have what he wishes, and make his family shine!"

Wan Lai was refilling new tea for the emperor, but suddenly she lost her mind when she heard this, and poured the hot tea into her hand.

The delicate and boneless jade fingers suddenly developed blood blisters, the emperor was very distressed and protected her, calling for people to find the imperial doctor quickly, half pity and half blame: "Why are you so careless? It hurts too much, right? "

Wan Yu frowned because of her worries, she just shook her head and said nothing happened.

After the imperial doctor came to bandage her wound briefly, the emperor mentioned the war, and You didn't enjoy it and said: "Wan'er, do you still remember that you once told me that swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and it is common to die for the country? "

Wan Lai nodded: "Of course I remember. Why did the Emperor ask about this?"

The emperor smiled meaningfully, clapped his palms and whispered: "I don't want to bear with the Tong clan any more, but it's always embarrassing to show up in person. If Tong Guogang defeats Galdan, the former courtiers will ask him to blame. Returning after losing the battle. If he wins, boasting of his great achievements, he will surely have even more glory when he returns to Beijing. I am determined not to see him like that. Although he is my own uncle, but in this critical time, I have to take care of the overall situation. Shen Ye He is very skilled, and I drew up a secret order with him. If Tong Guogang wins, we will secretly attack him and ask him to 'die on the battlefield' and never return to Beijing!"

Wan Lai's eyes widened, and her eyes were full of surprise.

Her expression was cramped, and she kneaded her hands a little at a loss, forgetting the wound that had just been bandaged, so she ate it painfully and hissed.

Seeing her like this, the emperor held her hands in his palms with concern, blew a few breaths, and said softly: "What's the matter, why are you so reckless today? But seeing that I am safe, I am very happy?"

Wan Yu looked into his deep eyes, feeling faintly apprehensive in her heart.

The idea was that she mentioned nothing wrong, just because of the current situation, if Tong Guogang was alive, he would definitely threaten the emperor's position in the previous dynasty.

But she never imagined that the emperor would let Shen Ye put into action the plan she had proposed in the past!
So who is Tong Guogang?Is he a person who can be assassinated at will?

Once Shen Ye's actions are exposed, he will definitely be charged with treason, even if he is cut into pieces, it will not be an exaggeration.

At that time, how could the emperor care about his life and death?
Wanyu wanted to persuade, but stopped talking.

She knew that Shen Ye grew up with her in love, and the two of them had an affair in the past, so the emperor would not hesitate to do so.

If he tried to persuade him today, with the emperor's suspicious nature, he would definitely suspect that she had an affair with Shen Ye, which would actually hurt him.

She was speechless for a moment, and could only sit quietly.

As night fell, silent darkness shrouded the sky over the Forbidden City.

Suddenly there was a muffled thunder, and the breath of mountain rain swept through the air.

The emperor looked at the gloomy sky and said with emotion: "I'm afraid it's going to rain. After leaving the palace for a few days, the papers are all piled up in the Qianqing palace. If it's too early for me to finish the political affairs, how about announcing you to go to bed later?"

Wanyu's whole body was frozen like ice and became numb, she couldn't hear what the emperor said, she just nodded.

After the emperor left with a smile, she hurriedly paced back and forth in the palace, took three sticks of incense, knelt in front of the altar enshrined in the hall, and prayed silently in her heart.

I prayed three times, only wishing Shen Ye well.
