Concubine Rebirth: Your Highness, I am sick

Chapter 274

Haitang said: "Hey, mammy, how did you guess?"

"Heh, the Empress Dowager's temper has a lot of experience, and there are traces to follow."

Haitang has one more thing she can't figure out: "It stands to reason that the Empress Dowager must hate me even more, she has always been partial to Concubine Xian. Even if we opened the warehouse to get the dress from the collection, the Empress Dowager should be even more angry with me, why? Only proclaimed the concubine Xian to enter the palace, and only stripped the concubine's clothes?"

She just took the official statement of "broken" as a joke, it was definitely because the clothes were ripped off on the spot, so why bother asking!

Nanny Tian also felt that this was quite incomprehensible.It's time to pick off the clothes of the two of them, so why can Mrs. Haitang save face and go back to the palace?

"Master, what kind of treasured dress is Concubine Xian wearing? Does her dress make people look more angry?"

Speaking of Gu Qiying's dress that can shine brightly in the sun, Haitang is sincerely envious, and even feels that as long as she can have such a dress in this life, her whole life will be full of splendor and beauty.

"Although I don't like apricot, any woman would be amazed by the unpredictable mystery and brilliance, not to mention the embroidery and details on the whole dress. Besides, Mammy, you know I'm speechless." where?"

Nanny Tian shook her head slowly, as if she had forgotten that she was in the process of deciphering.

"... That gown is definitely not new. Mommy, look at this one of mine. Although it is very well protected, it can be seen that no one has worn it for a while, and it is somewhat wilted. But Concubine Xian's is completely different. She really went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs with me to open a warehouse. Both clothes were taken out of the sealed warehouse, but it is obvious that although my dress is also bright, there is still a little bit of "she has experienced years" It feels like her apricot dress is completely brand new, as if it has been locked away from the dress warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for so many years. Time flies outside, and the time in the warehouse has not moved for a moment. However, including the clothes, they are all fixed and never grow old."

Grandma Tian turned pale when she heard this: "Apricot color... Is it a relatively pure apricot color, the color changes constantly under the sun with different refraction..."

Haitang nodded again and again: "Mammy, have you seen it?"

Mother Tian didn't have time to answer, and asked again: "The matching belt is a little darker than the color of the dress, and it's embroidered with cloud patterns, isn't it?"

This made Haitang question: "The color is a bit darker, but I didn't look closely at the embroidery patterns."

Nanny Tian's expression became strange, her lips trembled, and she said after a long while, "This is the gown worn by Concubine Hua at the canonization ceremony back then."

"Ah..." Now it was Haitang's turn to be shocked.Then Gu Qiying had thousands of choices, why did she choose this one?
Wait, this dress is brand new, no one has ever worn it, how could it be the dress for the canonization ceremony?

Haitang felt a chill down her spine, a sudden chill hit her, and the whole thing was indescribably weird.

"But...the clothes are really brand new, it doesn't look like someone has worn them. Unless...unless Concubine Hua dressed very carefully back then?"

Nanny Tian took a deep look at Haitang, her eyes were full of indescribable words.

"All of Concubine Hua's belongings were burned long ago when she passed away. Including the gown at the canonization ceremony."

Haitang was surprised: "Isn't Yunxiu Palace the residence of Concubine Hua? There are so many treasures here, aren't they her relics?"

Nanny Tian looked around slowly, as if acquainted for the first time, looked at the furnishings in the hall one by one, slowly and meticulously, after a long while, finally said: "These were bestowed by the late emperor himself, no one dared to touch them, so they were dusted up. For the rest, the Empress Dowager ordered that none of them be kept, and all of them were burned. It is said that when they were transported to the incineration site in the suburbs, the relics of Concubine Hua were burned for a whole day and night. Now these treasures in Yunhua Palace, including slaves and maidservants, have all been registered and made Including the volume, it is only one-twelfth of the collection of Yunxiu Palace back then."

Haitang sucked in a breath of cold air: "Oh my god, what an extravagance this was for the Concubine Hua..."

Mother Tian suddenly looked at Haitang coldly: "Why did you always persuade the master not to be too idle before you know the servant? Today, even if the master despises the servant again, the servant will have to say it for the last time. The concubine Hua is considered the emperor's supremacy." Longchong, so what? The emperor is always away, so how can he protect her for the rest of his life. After Concubine Hua's accident, her youngest son was sent to the army outside the Guan by the empress dowager, saying it was for training and reuse, but..."

"But what?" Haitang's heart twitched.

"The poor little prince is not yet 12 years old. He was sent to such a bitter and cold place, and he couldn't survive a year..."

Haitang only felt cold all over her body.It is too cruel to send children under the age of 12 to the military camp, not to mention the children of the royal family, but the children of ordinary families.Moreover, what does it mean to "can't make it through", in the barracks outside the customs, as long as there is no violent conflict or epidemic, most of the soldiers will not die. It's creepy to think about.

After a while, Haitang asked in a trembling voice: "Since all the relics have been burned, where did Concubine Xian's dress come from today?"

Madam Tian said: "This servant did not see Concubine Xian's gown with her own eyes. From your description, I can only be sure about three points, but the Empress Dowager reacted like that, so this servant can be eighty-nine points sure. That must be Concubine Hua's gown when she was canonized was never such a coincidence. There are only two possibilities for this matter. Either two gowns were made at the beginning, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs kept the spare one; or, the one back then was not burned at all. .”

Haitang was shocked when she heard it: "It's a pity that Madam didn't go to Xishan, so I couldn't see if that dress is the one from the canonization ceremony."

"You don't need to see it. Is it the same thing? The result is the same. The Empress Dowager was shocked. She must be thinking wildly. She has done too many bad things in her life, and she is most afraid of God's punishment."

This is indeed true. At the time of the solar eclipse, if the Empress Dowager hadn't had a ghost in her heart, she would not have been frightened like that by Haitang.After all, Nanny Tian understood the Empress Dowager.

"Mommy, she hates Concubine Hua so much, you have stayed with Concubine Hua, she can still tolerate you..."

Madam Tian said: "When Concubine Hua was alive, the slaves had already left Yunxiu Palace. Unless someone wanted to investigate on purpose, no one would have thought of this. Concubine Hua's demeanor is only in the hearts of slaves. "

But Haitang knew that if she could put a person in her heart for most of her life, this person must be important in her life.From this point of view, this concubine Hua should be an attractive person.It should be noted that it is not easy for a woman to be fascinated by a man, and it is really virtuous to let the servants think about it.
