Lan Ling gasped, the empress she was talking about should be the current empress dowager.
According to what she said, Concubine Lin promised the queen that she would commit suicide in front of the hall, and the queen would help.
Concubine Lin committed suicide? How sad will Ling Chen be if he finds out
How can the queen do this
"I'll give you some more money today. King An has become the emperor, and your wish has come true. Concubine Lin, please give birth to me as soon as possible..."
Lan Ling panicked and broke a branch with a creak.
"Who, who is there?" Mei Hong's vigilant voice.
Lan Ling hid behind the bushes and left there quickly.
Mei Hong chased him out and frowned when she saw a figure from behind.
Empress Dowager Bailan has been haunted by nightmares during this period, and her sleep has been unstable.
Today she sent her close maid, Mei Hong, to the forest to see her off, but she didn't expect Mei Hong to come back with a panicked expression.
"What's the matter?" asked the Queen Mother.
"Report to the Empress Dowager, when the slaves were sending off Concubine Lin in the woods just now, someone seemed to have seen them..."
"Why are you so careless!"
"Very few people go to that woods, it's raining, and it's still night, how could this servant think that someone would enter the woods."
"Have you seen who it is?"
"Seeing the back view, this servant looks very much like the one from Changxin Palace..."
"Concubine Ling?"
"Yes, very similar. She walks very fast, but with that waist, there is no doubt that it is her."
"She was demoted just now, the emperor doesn't seem to care about her, and she is Lan Sedum's daughter. We can't let her spread the news, and let the emperor and I have a rift!"
Lan Ling ran back to Changxin Palace in one breath.
After entering the palace gate, let Xiaofuzi close the gate.
She entered the room, her heart beating wildly.
In this palace, everyone and everything contains conspiracy.
She thought the queen mother was kind, but after the prince was assassinated, she was in a miserable situation, and Lan Ling always respected her. At that time, the prince's death was pointed at King Ning, but there was no evidence. Lan Ling sympathized with the misery in her heart.
But she forced Ling Chen's biological mother to commit suicide in order to be the empress dowager herself!
Lan Ling was shivering, coupled with the rain, her whole body was cold. Want to tell Ling Chen
What would happen if Ling Chen found out? Lan Ling knew that most of the old ministers in the court belonged to the Queen Mother.
And now the queen mother is very kind to the sixth prince Ling Bai. This is what she heard from Ling Chen occasionally.
Lan Ling thought about it again and again, and felt that no matter what, he should tell the emperor that with the emperor's means and forbearance, there will be a way. Lan Ling made up his mind.
That girl heard her stepping on a branch just now, did Mei Hong recognize her
The more Lan Ling thought about it, the more disturbed he became.
The rain gradually became heavier, and the drizzle turned into a squall.
After two days, nothing happened.
Lan Ling gradually felt at ease. Maybe, she didn't recognize me. After all, it was night and it was raining.
Another day later, at noon, Xiao Jin, a girl from the Queen's Palace, came to invite Lan Ling to the Queen's Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is not here. Your Majesty has just been punished. It is best not to leave Changxin Palace, let alone Zhong'an Palace! Just call yourself sick." Jixiang reminded her.
Jixiang has been in the palace for a long time, and he knows that it is too easy for the palace to kill someone.
Of course Lan Ling understands that she is a person who has lived a lifetime.
Ji Xiang told Xiao Jin: "Our empress has been ill all the time, afraid of bringing bad luck to the empress, we will go to greet the empress when she is better."
Xiao Jin did not leave, "The empress invited the empresses of the various palaces today, saying that it was because of discussing the matter of the emperor's heirs. The emperor has been on the throne for almost half a year. The empress said that none of the concubines has moved. She invited an expert today. Asking everyone to pay respects will show sincerity."
Lan Ling heard that Xiao Jin's words were all about this, so he had no choice but to go.
She briefly dressed up, and just after she left the gate of Changxin Palace, Tian Ming came over, "Where is your empress going?"
"The empress invited everyone to Zhong'an Palace today, I'll go and have a look."
Tian Ming frowned.
At this moment, Xiao Wu, Tian Ming's subordinate, came to Tian Ming in a hurry: "Commander Tian, King Rui has urgent business matters, please discuss with Commander Tian."
"Urgent business?" Tian Ming looked at Lan Ling and frowned. In the past few days, he has been guarding the gate of Changxin Palace with his dark guards.
"Yes, King Rui asked the commander to go quickly." Xiao Qi was sweating profusely, and seemed to be running over.
"You follow Lingbi, and report quickly if you have anything to do."
Tian Ming left in a hurry.
"What's the matter with King Rui looking for a lowly position?" Tian Ming asked the Fifth Prince.
"Received a secret report that the emperor was besieged in Jincheng on the way back. I don't know if it is true or not, and the emperor's whereabouts cannot be disclosed to others. This king wants to send you to bring the secret guards and go to Jincheng immediately, just in case. just in case!"
"Okay, but before the emperor left, he stayed here to protect the Changxin Palace, and went to Jincheng with a humble post. Please ask His Highness King Rui to send more people to guard the Changxin Palace." Tian Ming instructed.
"My king knows, so I will send someone there."
Tian Ming hurried away with the hidden guards.
Lan Ling took Jixiang, Lixia, Xiaorongzi and Xiaohuazi to Zhong'an Palace together.
Sure enough, all the concubines and concubines were there in Zhong'an Palace, even Liu Hui was there.
Lan Ling saw the Queen Mother sitting there, talking to a gray-haired Taoist priest.
Now she saw the queen mother and felt a chill down her back. In this palace, there is no one with a pure heart. She has been a queen for so many years, how can she do it without means
The queen mother was still as kind as before, "Concubine Ling, come out and walk around if you have nothing to do." Lan Ling smiled and saluted and agreed.
Seeing that everyone was seated, the queen said to everyone solemnly: "I called everyone here today to discuss the issue of the emperor's heirs. You have served the emperor for so long, and your stomach hasn't even moved."
The queen dared not look at Liu Hui when she said this.
"Today I invited the master to show you all, and everyone made a wish. Although they say you can't be superstitious, but since some people say that this method works, let's try it. Maybe it will work?"
Everyone nods.
"Master Wu is welcome." The Queen said to the Queen Mother.
The white-haired old man stood up, his expression was indifferent and gentle, and Lan Ling saw that he looked like a well-educated expert.
He put a piece of red paper in front of everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please write down your wish for a child, write down your name, and you must be sincere."
Lan Ling sighed, the emperor had never slept with her a few times, how could there be any heirs
Lan Ling wrote the four words "beg for an heir" and wrote his own name. Handed it over to Master Wu.
He buried the notes written by everyone in a large copper censer, lit incense on it, and began to recite words.
All the concubines bowed down.
Suddenly, the stick of incense in the incense burner broke without warning.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, panicking in their hearts.
Master Wu frowned, and lit Gao Xiang again.
However, the incense was cut off after less than a cup of tea was lit.
Lan Ling was startled.
Master Wu muttered a few words, then turned to look at everyone, "Queen Mother, I can't do anything to beg for a child for all the empresses, some people are dishonest."
"What did Master Wu say?" the queen stood up and asked.
"There are things in this palace that go against your wishes! It's in the northwest corner of the palace."
When Lan Ling heard it, his Changxin Palace and Concubine Jing's Changjing Palace were both in the northwest corner.
