The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 622
After Zhuo Lan returned to the palace, she slept until noon before waking up.

She slept extremely soundly, all because in her dream she dreamed of many people whom she cared deeply about.

Father, mother, brother, sister-in-law.

In the end, he dreamed of Shen Ye.

So after waking up, seeing that the mint leaf had already withered, he hurriedly ordered the palace staff to go to the Flower and Bird Department, and found a large pot of green mint to keep in the palace, so he felt at ease.

Yuanyuan seems to have sensed something wrong with her, and carefully probed: "Miss, you didn't like mint in the past, what's wrong now?"

"What do you know?" Zhuo Lan interrupted her, and took a long time to inhale the mint fragrance filling the palace, "Why didn't you go looking for that idiot of yours today?"

Yuanyuan said: "I was going to go, but when I went out of the palace gate, I saw a person, so the servants brought him here."

After saying that, Yuanyuan called out to the outside of the hall, only to see the inner prisoner, who was over fifty years old, walk in slowly with a stooped body.

Zhuo Lan recognized this person at a glance, he was the one who went out of the palace to inquire about Hangzhou affairs on her behalf.

She felt hesitant because the man broke the appointment yesterday and almost put herself in a dangerous situation, she looked at him showing no signs of good looks, and said calmly: "I went away on business for the emperor, did you take care of me? "

The father-in-law bowed his waist and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty has given you a lot of heart, so I dare not forget it. There is nothing wrong with the magistrate's mansion, so I hope you can rest assured. Just as I said, the time when the slave went was that the local wealthy family got married, so I was able to get married. I saw the beauty of the bride, and the groom gave me a lot of wedding cakes to make me happy." He smiled even more as he said, "If you say that the bride and the empress are still destined, she has a soft and beautiful face, and the slave looks at Mrs. Chen. There is still a bit of a resemblance."

Zhuo Lan was obviously a little flustered when she heard this, Yuanyuan still held her hand, stabilized her mind, and asked the inner supervisor: "Elder-in-law, have you looked carefully? Is there anything else?"

The inner eunuch waved his hand and said, "It's gone. It's just that the rich family has always been on good terms with the magistrate. For some reason, the magistrate did not show up for such a happy event as the young master's marriage. It's true."

"What does it have to do with you if my father shows up?" Zhuo Lan sternly reprimanded the inner eunuch: "Today, I can only talk to Bengong here in this palace. After leaving the gate of Yongshou Palace, I will take care of you." Good for those two pieces of meat on your lips!"

Seeing Zhuo Lan's sudden anger, the eunuch didn't know why, so he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed twice, and retreated with a playful smile.

He was walking to the door, but before he crossed the threshold, he was called by Zhuo Lan: "I ask you, why did you break the appointment yesterday?"

The inner eunuch looked back suspiciously, scratched his head and said, "Break the appointment? The slave doesn't know what the empress said."

"Didn't you entrust someone to pass the letter to me?" Yuanyuan asked.

The inner eunuch was confused and couldn't say a word for a while.

Seeing this, Zhuo Lan understood a thing or two in her heart, and sent him away with a wave of her hand.

Yuanyuan added tea for Zhuo Lan, and whispered: "Miss, who is it that he didn't entrust someone to pass the letter to the servant? We have never entrusted others to do things."

Zhuo Lan's slender fingers caressed the cup and flicked it lightly, and the armor and jade made a crisp sound.

She thought for a moment, then shook her head with frowned and said: "If it wasn't for him, there would always be someone else. We are being targeted. Then Chen Baoping is an idiot. I have sent a letter back, asking them to be careful about their daughter's marriage. Don't make any publicity. Did he just think that he would do it if he didn't show up? It's really a waste of a dog! We are being watched by the imperial concubine, do you think she won't check the affairs of the mother's house? Now we can find out from the eunuch This is a lot, naturally the imperial concubine can do it too!"

Yuanyuan looked around, carefully reconciled the Lingchuang, closed the palace door, and then said softly and cautiously: "Miss, if this is the case, the imperial concubine probably knows about our sending people to Hangzhou. In this way, yesterday letterhead, it is very likely that she sent someone to deliver it to the servant!"

Zhuo Lan sneered and said: "She knows it, but she has a calm temperament, and she will definitely not startle the snake. According to her temperament, she must wait until the baby in my womb is six months old and my mother's family can enter the palace to take care of it. It's because of the sudden attack that caught us off guard. Yesterday's incident seems more like Concubine De's mind."

She squeezed the teacup in her hand and tried harder to crush it: "What do you think you wanted us to go to the rockery yesterday?"

Yuanyuan thought of the rolling stone that hit Zhuo Lan yesterday, and she was secretly apprehensive: "Is it the concubine De? She is going to get rid of the dragon fetus in the womb of the young lady? But the imperial concubine is also at odds with the young lady, why not her?"

"It can't be her." Zhuo Lan's eyes became gloomy, and she said with a smile that was not a smile: "If she had such a heart, my child would have died and left the Changchun Palace with me that day! Although the concubine is smart, she still has a woman The benevolent one is not like Concubine De, but a cruel and merciless master!"

"When we enter the palace, what we are most afraid of is that our identity will be suspected. If the noble concubine knows this, she will definitely follow the clues. If she knows your true identity, miss, let alone her, even the emperor will definitely not allow you to survive!"

"What are you panicking about?" Zhuo Lan stroked her waist and got up, casually picked a mint leaf and put it on the tip of her nose, took a deep breath and said, "Wait a minute, I heard that the fetus in the womb has been ready for the baby when it is five months old." Probing the pulse to see whether the fetus in the womb is male or female. If this fetus is an elder brother, my status will be stable after giving birth safely. It is not in vain to pretend in the palace for so many years. Even if my identity is suspected, I will not lose my life. But if I am a princess."

She lowered her head to look at her lower abdomen, unconsciously covered it with her hands, and said sadly: "If it's a princess, what's the use of coming here? If my baby is miscarried at five months, how can there be people from my mother's family?" Can the opportunity come into the palace?"

Yuanyuan was shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly persuaded: "How can Miss think so? Anyway, this is your flesh and blood!"

"It's mine, and it's that person's too!" Zhuo Lan's eyes were full of resentment, and even her lips and teeth were trembling slightly: "I just feel disgusted when I think of having children for him! This child will not go in vain! If she goes, she will definitely bring Concubine De to accompany her on Huangquan Road."

Zhuo Lan sneered suddenly, her gaze wandered on Yuanyuan's body, and she asked in a very soft tone: "Do you still remember, who hit me when I met Hong?"

"Miss, what do you mean, if this child is a princess, then her death will be used to frame Concubine De?"

"It's not a frame!" Zhuo Lan interrupted her: "If it weren't for my child and I, I would have died in the hands of that bitch De Fei last night! Now I just fulfilled her former vision, she Thanks to me. I made her perfect, so why frame her?"

Yuanyuan solemnly nodded when she heard the words, and suddenly knelt down and bowed, crying in a sad voice: "For the big event, I have suffered so much, Miss."

Zhuo Lan leaned over to help her up, smiled calmly, and said, "Compared to what my parents have suffered, what is my suffering?"
