"My lady, my lady!"
Accompanied by hurried shouts, the little eunuch Xiaoqizi hurriedly trotted all the way into the Chonghua Palace from outside. Although the rain had subsided a lot, he ran all the way over the puddles, and his robe was also torn. Mostly wet.
Wu Wan and Gao Yurong were drinking tea together, but seeing him running in like this, Wu Wan frowned.
"What's the matter, such a ghost screaming."
"Your Majesty, it's the Imperial Concubine!"
Wu Wan's eyes lit up as soon as she heard "The Imperial Concubine".
On the other side, Gao Yurong's expression also froze slightly, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with the imperial concubine?"
The little chess piece came up to them, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let someone watch the Imperial Concubine, the news came back just now, that the Imperial Concubine has left the West Corner Gate again."
"..."
Hearing this sentence, Wu Wan's face froze.
Then he said coldly, "So what?"
This is something that I knew yesterday, and I brought it to her again.
Moreover, Feng Qianyan was also holding on to this matter, thinking that he had seized the opportunity of the imperial concubine to provoke the emperor and empress, but in the end he did not clarify the right and wrong, and even caused a commotion all over himself.
However, Gao Yurong said: "She left the West Corner Gate, then what?"
The little chess piece hurriedly said: "I heard that the imperial concubine went out of the west corner gate and didn't stop, but ended up making a big circle, as if she had reached—"
Having said that, he leaned forward and whispered four words.
Immediately, both Wu Wan and Gao Yurong's eyes widened.
"real?"
"How dare the servants deceive the empress? This is what they said when they came back."
"Why did the imperial concubine go to that place?"
When Wu Wan heard this, she couldn't help frowning, and turned to look at Gao Yurong, as if hoping she could give her an answer, but Gao Yurong was also dumbfounded.
What did the imperial concubine go to that place for
It is the place where the memorials reviewed by the emperor and the copies of the imperial edicts issued are stored. It is also a place where idlers are not allowed to enter, and ordinary people cannot approach it.
The imperial concubine actually ran to that place!
What on earth is she going to do
Wu Wan was about to get up immediately, Gao Yurong said hastily: "What is your empress going to do?"
Wu Wan said: "The emperor will not allow this matter, right?"
"this-"
Gao Yurong thought for a while, and said, "Of course not, but this kind of thing doesn't need your mother to do it yourself."
"you mean-"
"Come here," Gao Yurong ordered, and immediately two young maids ran in. Gao Yurong turned around and said, "Just now there was news from the Yonghe Palace that the Queen's condition is getting worse today. You take this The news spread to Jianfu Palace."
The two little maids immediately said: "Yes."
After speaking, he ran out.
Wu Wan immediately understood: "You mean, let Concubine Ning go?"
Gao Yurong said with a smile: "Concubine Ning is at the time when she doesn't like the noble concubine, even if there is a little bit of trouble, she will hold on to it. This time, let her help."
"That makes sense, let's go."
"yes."
After finishing speaking, the two of them left the Chonghua Palace, and someone behind them held an umbrella and walked slowly towards the Yonghe Palace under the drizzle.
At this time, Xu Miaoyin was sitting on the couch, holding a stove in her hand, accompanied by several concubines.
Depin Xinqing said: "Your Majesty, why is your cough worse today?"
As she said that, Xu Miaoyin coughed a few more times, and said with a wry smile: "The weather is cold recently, you should be careful, don't catch the wind and cold."
The surrounding concubines are also expressing concern.
Just as he was talking, Concubine Hui and Concubine An came in and saluted the Queen one after another.
Xu Miaoyin smiled and said, "It's raining, why are you here?"
Wu Wan said: "I heard that the empress is seriously ill again today, so I came here specially to have a look, and I even asked someone to prepare ginseng and deer antler."
With that said, the maid behind her brought the box up.
Xu Miaoyin smiled and said: "If you have such a good thing, you can just keep it for yourself."
"The empress's phoenix body is related to the harem, how can I not worry about it."
"You have a heart."
Xu Miaoyin waved her hand and let the maid Chun'er take the gift box and put it aside.
He pointed to the chair next to him and told them to sit down.
As soon as she sat down, Concubine An looked around, looked at the faces of the concubines who had come to pay her respects, and said, "Is the imperial concubine still not here today?"
"..."
Hearing that they mentioned the imperial concubine again, Xu Miaoyin frowned slightly.
These days, it has almost become a routine, as long as the word "Great Concubine Empress" is mentioned, it seems that there will be trouble.
She said: "The imperial concubine is still ill, and I don't want her to come here again. If she catches a cold, she will become seriously ill again."
Wu Wan smiled and said, "That's not true."
"oh?"
"The imperial concubine's health has been much better recently. Didn't Concubine Ning say yesterday that she has gone to the corner gate?"
"..."
"Today, I have gone further. My concubine sees that her spirit is getting better and better."
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyin frowned again: "You said she went further?"
"yes,"
Wu Wan smiled and said, "They all went to the northeast corner."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and the little eunuch Xiaomenzi said: "Ms. Concubine Ning is here."
When everyone heard this, they raised their heads again, and they saw Concubine Ning Feng Qianyan walking in from outside, probably because she walked too fast, the corners of her skirts were stained with mud, and some rain fell on her shoulders.
When she walked to the door, she just heard Wu Wan's words, and her footsteps paused.
Then, he walked in again.
"The concubine pays respects to the empress."
Seeing her walking in, although Xu Miaoyin was a little sick, her brain's reaction was not slow, and she immediately looked at Wu Wan and the others out of the corner of her eyes as if she understood something.
His eyes flickered slightly.
Then he said to Feng Qianyan: "It's raining, why are you here? What if you slip and fall all the way?"
Feng Qianyan was flustered when she heard what Wu Wan and the others said, but when she heard the queen asking herself this question, she immediately said: "Oh, my concubine heard that the queen's mother is still ill, so I came here to take a look."
"What's so interesting about this."
"yes… "
Feng Qianyan saluted and saw Xu Miaoyin pointing to a chair beside her, so she walked over and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, he said impatiently: "When the concubine came in, I seemed to hear Concubine Hui and Concubine An talking about imperial concubine, did she go outside the corner gate again?"
Immediately, everyone fell silent.
Everyone is not stupid, and they all naturally felt that they seemed to be targeting the imperial concubine again.
Xu Miaoyin frowned.
However, before she could say anything, Eunuch Yu's voice sounded outside—
"The emperor is here."
As soon as they heard that the emperor was coming, everyone's reaction was faster than yesterday, and they all stood up immediately. Xu Miaoyin frowned slightly, but she still got up immediately.
I saw that Zhu Feng was still smelling of rain, and walked in slowly.
