Knocked the chess pieces and dropped the lights, waited and waited, and finally waited for two lobbyists.
"Yongqi." Concubine Yu said softly, "This is Concubine Ling, go and greet the concubine."
The child beside her stepped forward to kowtow to Wei Yingluo, and said solemnly, "Yongqi greets the concubine Ling."
Wei Yingluo leaned on the imperial concubine's couch and looked at him curiously. This child was about eight or nine years old. He was born with red lips and white teeth, and the jade snow was cute, like a golden boy in a New Year's painting, but his movements were uncluttered, like an eighty-nine-year-old court boy. Sir, it looks very interesting.
Concubine Yu: "Yongqi, you were all golden when you were born, and everyone thought you were a monster. You are the only concubine who will protect you if you die. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be this big."
Yongqi was already up, but after hearing this, she knelt down again, and gave Wei Yingluo a serious kowtow: "Yongqi thanks the concubine for saving her life, and when Yongqi grows up, she will be filial. you."
Mingyu couldn't see the mother and son, and sneered: "Our mother will come from the elder brother's filial piety, so don't worry about the fifth elder brother."
Yong Qi's face froze, and Concubine Yu's expression changed: "Mingyu, how old is Yong Qi, he is sincere and doesn't appreciate it. It would be too much to say that!"
Mingyu sneered, yin and yang strangely said: "Last night I always heard strange noises, the minions are still strange, it's not New Year's Eve, the weasel came to the door, the master, the minions have to go and see, hurry up and plug the hole, so as not to make noise at night You rest!"
"Mingyu." Wei Yingluo glanced at her, then waved to Yongqi, "The little baby back then was so big in a blink of an eye, come here, come here."
Yong Qi obediently went over, suddenly coughed, and hurriedly raised two little fat hands to cover her mouth, looking at Wei Yingluo a little embarrassed.
"What? Is your throat uncomfortable?" Wei Yingluo asked with concern.
"He has been coughing recently, and the imperial doctor has given him Chuanbei to eat." Concubine Yu looked at Brother Wu lovingly.
Her gaze made Wei Yingluo a little stunned, and she unconsciously recalled how the queen looked when she was holding the child.
After a long while, she came back to her senses and saw that Yong Qi was staring at a plate of hibiscus cakes on the table. She noticed her gaze, and quickly moved her gaze away, posing as if a gentleman did not look sideways.
Wei Yingluo pushed the dim sum in front of him: "I want to eat dim sum, it's right next to you, why don't you see it?"
Yongqi: "Emian said, it's impolite to take it without asking."
Yingluo smiled, picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and handed it to him: "Eat it, I promised."
"Mother Xie Ling." Yong Qi gave her a proper salute before taking the hibiscus pastry from her hand, eating it in a serious manner, catching any crumbs with her hands to prevent it from falling to the ground.
Wei Yingluo didn't eat as well as him, so she couldn't help but smile at him.
"Cough, cough." Yong Qi suddenly covered her mouth and coughed twice.
Yingluo: "If you have a cough, don't eat more sweets."
Yong Qi nodded and put down the second piece obediently.
Wei Yingluo likes the child very much, but doesn't like his mother.
Children are prone to sleepiness. Wei Yingluo and Concubine Yu had a nutritious conversation, and Yongqi began to yawn. Wei Yingluo said, "Mingyu, take the fifth elder brother to the side hall for a nap."
Without ignorant children, there is no need for adults to beat around the bush.
"Since you're already on the side of Concubine Chun, why did you come back to me?" Wei Yingluo pulled the lid of the teacup, and the fragrance of Biluochun came out.
"Yingluo, not everyone has the same fate as you, the queen protects first, and then the emperor favors." Concubine Yu looked at her with a complicated expression, "I don't have anything, in order to gain a foothold in the Forbidden City, except for the pure noble concubine. , is there a second way to go?"
Wei Yingluo knew that her life was difficult, but this was not the reason for betraying the queen.
"Did you know?" Wei Yingluo suddenly put the tea cup on the table, a stern look flashed in her eyes, "Concubine Chung is the real murderer who killed Brother Qi, and the culprit who forced the first queen to death!"
Concubine Yu listened and took a deep breath.
Wei Yingluo stared at her closely, hoping that she would be angry and cry, but she slowly let out the breath and said, "I don't know, and I don't want to know, for a humble person like me. , Only by living can I protect Yongqi and protect my son! As for other people, I have no ability to ask about other things."
Wei Yingluo didn't expect her to help.
In other words, she didn't intend to let a mother with a child get involved in this matter at all.
All she wanted was a trace of anger, a tear...
Concubine Ke Yu would not even give this!
Wei Yingluo clutched her chest, only to feel the pain of the wound was unbearable, and her forehead was covered with sweat.
"Okay! What else can I say to this kind of person!" Mingyu rushed in and glared at Concubine Yu, "I gave the dog a piece of meat, and it knows how to care for the house. You are under the protection of the first queen, Time and time again, but you actually took refuge in Concubine Chun! Concubine Yu, you are really not as good as a dog!"
When Concubine Yu heard this, she smiled sadly: "Dogs? Yes, women who are not favored in the Forbidden City are worse than dogs, aren't they?"
She is indeed a poor person with no luck and no ability.
She watched her best sister die in front of her, and had to bow down to the enemy family. She finally made it to Concubine Huigui, but she didn't make it as a person. Even Wei Yingluo, the little maid of Changchun Palace in the past, was later on. The person was on top and climbed to a position that she could not reach.
"...Yingluo, just take pity on my dog and give me a word." Concubine Yu said pitifully, "You told the emperor that the person who caused you to fall off the horse was a pure noble concubine, right?"
Wei Yingluo's chest was still hurting, she rubbed her chest while looking at her coldly.
"I'm a dog of Concubine Chungui now. If things continue to be investigated, she will push me out to take the blame sooner or later." Concubine Yu came over and tried to hold Wei Yingluo's hand, "It's okay if I die, but what about Yongqi? Yingluo , you rescued him from Concubine Huigui with great difficulty in the past, but now you have the heart to watch him lose his mother and live alone?"
"Are you crazy?" Mingyu pushed her away, "Do you want Yingluo to let go of Concubine Chung?"
"No, it's not letting it go, it's turning the battle into a jade and silk." Concubine Yu shook her head, then looked at Wei Yingluo expectantly, "Yingluo, don't be against her anymore, don't investigate the cause of the queen's death, just let everything be In the past, peaceful coexistence with each other, okay?"
Wei Yingluo almost popped out those four words between her teeth: "No more investigation?"
Concubine Yu nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes, now you are deeply favored by the emperor, and you are in full swing, so why bother with the past. If you reconcile with Concubine Chung and have a son and a half daughter, who can compete with you in the palace? This is for the sake of I, for the Yongqi you saved with your own hands, and more for yourself!"
Wei Yingluo was silent.
Seeing that she said such shameless words, Mingyu couldn't bear it anymore, so she was about to scold her. The words came to her lips, but she swallowed them. She saw that the door was slightly opened, and Yong Qi rubbed her eyes while walking from the door. After sewing, I got in: "Emother."
Several people stopped talking and stopped discussing this matter.
"...It's getting late, Mingyu, take a plate of hibiscus cake and ask Yongqi to take it back to eat." Wei Yingluo said to see off the guest.
A plate of hibiscus crisps was quickly packed up and neatly packed in a brocade box. Yong Qi's face was calm, but he held the box tightly with both hands, obviously very happy.
Concubine Yu led him away, walked to the door, and suddenly looked back at Wei Yingluo, with no deep meaning: "Yingluo, as long as you are willing to protect Yongqi, I will not let Concubine Chung hurt you again, I promise."
Wei Yingluo couldn't take her words seriously. A woman who could not protect herself actually boasted that she wanted to protect her? Wei Yingluo felt sad and ridiculous in her heart, and it took a long time to say, "Concubine Yu, do you really regret it?"
Do you really regret abandoning your self-esteem, abandoning your benefactor, or even abandoning your personality and becoming a lackey
"In order to take good care of Yongqi, even if the world calls me a despicable villain, even if I have to kneel to serve the enemy, I can bear it." Concubine Yu rubbed Yongqi's head, then smiled at Wei Yingluo, "Wait when you have When I have my own child, I can understand how I feel today.”
Wei Yingluo was stunned.
"Niangniang, ignore that traitor!" Mingyu closed the door, shutting the mother and son out, and then angrily returned to Wei Yingluo, forcing a smile on her face, "Let me tell you some jokes."
Mingyu's jokes were not funny at all. Wei Yingluo fell asleep after hearing it.
In the next few days, she had been in bed, and the soup and medicine continued daily. The injuries on her body improved day by day, and she was finally able to get out of bed and walk around the yard with Mingyu's hand.
As she was walking, she suddenly saw a person walking towards her in a hurry.
"Concubine Ling." It was Li Yu, holding the whisk and standing in front of Wei Yingluo with a frosty face, "Your Majesty, please go to Yonghe Palace."
Wei Yingluo looked at him, sometimes he was the face of Hongli, what kind of expression Hongli used to treat people, what kind of expression he used to treat people, now seeing his frosty face, the one waiting for him in Yonghe Palace must be will not be a good thing.
It turned out that the situation was worse than she had imagined.
Waiting for her in Yonghe Palace is Yongqi, who is dying on the bed.
"Concubine Ling, how old is Yong Qi, you actually did this to him!" Concubine Yu knelt beside the bed and cried, "Your Majesty, you have to decide for our mother and son!"
Wei Yingluo was stunned: "Poisoning? What does this mean!
"Concubine Ling." Concubine Chungui stood beside Concubine Yu, looking like she was in charge of her, "Did Fifth Brother go to Yanxi Palace a few days ago?"
Wei Yingluo looked at her, and the two of them met their eyes as if they were facing each other.
This son, this battle, is a back-to-back battle, either you die or I die.
