Chapter 91: The Empress Dowager's Palace is in Danger
In Taoquan Palace, Mengran, who had been sleeping for a long time, suddenly woke up from the pear flower and phoenix bed and shouted: "Third brother!"
"Take care, Your Majesty!" Upon seeing this, the people in the second row of palaces immediately knelt down and said worriedly.
He caressed his forehead and said indifferently to the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, "Have Ye'er's affairs been settled?" At the end of the words, his heart hurt.
"Your Majesty, everything has been done according to your instructions, and her family has settled down." The little eunuch replied with a sad voice. He thought to himself that the master is considerate of his servants. Even a palace maid like Ye'er is so considerate.
It seems that I am with the right master.
"Yes." He replied softly, caressed his slightly protruding belly, and said, "Watch me wash up! I'm going to visit the emperor soon!"
Under the busyness of the palace servants, Mengran, who had an indifferent face, put on plain white clothes, with only a hairpin on her head tied into a pile of clouds, which was elegant and refined. Looking at herself in the mirror, Mengran turned her head,
He said to the young eunuch and a fat palace maid in pink clothes behind him, "What are your names?"
"Go back to your Majesty, my name is Liufu!" The little eunuch put down his comb and knelt down in flattery and said.
"My name is Dou'er..." the chubby little palace maid followed Liufu and knelt down.
"Liufu?... There used to be a groom in this palace who was also named Liufu..." He sighed deeply, picked up the jade flute, and said with tears in his eyes, "You will be the chief eunuch and chief maid of Taoquan Palace from now on!"
At the end, he picked up the jade flute, stood up gently, and walked out of the palace. The other palace people glanced enviously at the two people who were kneeling in a daze, and then followed Concubine Meng.
Mengran did not give them the positions of steward and maid arbitrarily. It can be seen that they must have entered the palace not long ago, and their hearts have not yet been affected by the bad luck of the harem. It is undoubtedly safer to choose them as their personal palace attendants!
I originally considered promoting Qing'e to the rank of maid, but every time I saw her strange eyes, she hesitated! Now Mengran will never let any danger stay by her side!
After passing the waterside pavilion and crossing the Wanlong Stone Bridge, I finally saw the Yanghe Hall. Looking at the vermilion hall door getting closer and closer in front of me, Mengran gradually tightened the jade flute in her hand. She was afraid of hearing bad news, and even more afraid.
Seeing Bai Moleng's weak appearance... In her heart, he had always been cold and majestic, tall and mighty, and indestructible. But now he was hurt so hard because of her, how could she bear it?!
Love him?
Closing her long eyelashed eyes, she recalled his appearance when he was bleeding from his mouth: "I don't care if the world... will be in chaos, I only care about the safety of you and your children... Because apart from my identity, I am just a husband who loves his wife deeply...
"
What a husband who loves his wife deeply! Bai Mo Leng, you win! These words have already won my heart, Meng Ran!
Slightly raise your pink lips, happiness overflowing in your heart.
Just when Mengran was wandering, her shoulders suddenly trembled. Mengran quickly opened her beautiful eyes, held on to the armrest, and said in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"I'm reporting to you, it's the Queen Mother's phoenix chariot that's blocking the entrance to the Yanghe Hall!" A kneeling palace maid timidly glanced in front of her and lowered her head.
Hearing this, Meng Ran followed her gaze and looked forward. She saw an old woman in plain clothes sitting on the bright yellow and gold phoenix chariot. Time had left wrinkles on her beautiful face, and there was a trace of light between her eyebrows.
She looked murderous, which was very incongruous with her plain clothes. It was obvious that the look she looked at him was anything but friendly!
Looking at Wu Dexian standing behind her, gnashing his teeth, Meng Ran suddenly understood!
It turned out that he was here to punish her 'sin'! Okay! Do you really think she is easy to bully?!
"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" Mengran, with the support of the palace servants, came to the Queen Mother's phoenix chariot and saluted slightly. According to the palace rules, the Queen Mother is the elder, so of course Mengran had to step forward and salute.
"Bold! Why don't you kneel down to the Aijia quickly!" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and looked at the indifferent face of the icy beauty, but she was shocked in her heart. Her icy appearance seemed to be that of a person...
"Is the Queen Mother talking about my concubine?" Meng Ran's beautiful eyes were still looking at the Queen Mother indifferently, and she said calmly. She knew that the Queen Mother was giving her power!
"Bold witch concubine! The Queen Mother is not talking about you or who is talking about!" Seeing the indifferent woman in front of him, Wu Dexian gritted his teeth with hatred, and his voice trembled slightly. He wanted to chop her to death immediately! She was the one who caused her death.
My own daughter!
"You are so bold! Where is the harem? How can you, a foreign minister, be allowed to come and go at will? Although you are the cousin of the Queen Mother and a veteran prime minister for three dynasties, you still have to abide by the palace rules!" It is still indifferent, but the tone is just the same.
It was a little higher, she wanted everyone present to hear it.
Sure enough, when everyone heard this, they all looked at Wu Dexian, whose veins were exposed, with confusion in their eyes. When could this respected old prime minister be so rude?
Seeing this, the Queen Mother looked at Mengran coldly without saying a word. She couldn't understand her thoughts! Mengran glanced at the Queen Mother and secretly sighed that she was indeed a woman who had dominated the harem for many years! Since she was noncommittal, Mengran would
Gotta excite her!
"You!... the demon concubine! How dare you be so arrogant!" Wu Dexian's beard curled up slightly and he pointed at the man in white with a proud face, trembling every time.
"Old Prime Minister, I know that you have always been highly virtuous and abiding by the rules. You will never suddenly break the rules of the harem. I'm afraid..." Mengran's eyes turned and looked at the Queen Mother's slightly frowning eyebrows. She smiled in her heart. It seems that
She was about to show off her power! She let out a deep sigh and said again in the direction of Yanghe Hall, "I'm afraid that if the emperor is seriously injured and unconscious, why don't you come here to 'comfort' the harem?! Hey, why do you need to do this, Mr. Wu?
The noble concubine is already dead, and your coming will only add to the sorrow!"
At the end of Meng Ran's words, he looked closely at the frowning Queen Mother.
"My Zhi'er is you, the evil concubine (harm)..." Before the word "harm" came out, the Queen Mother glared at Wu Dexian, who was in a state of excitement and dementia, stood up arrogantly, slapped Meng Ran hard and said; "
How dare you, a little noble concubine, speak so shamelessly in front of the Ai family?! The old prime minister is the cousin of the Ai family and the head of the country, so how can he not enter the palace? Besides, this is at the entrance of Yanghe Hall, so it does not count as entering.
In the harem, how can you cross the rules? I’m afraid you are not pure of heart!”
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with what she had just said. After observing for a long time, she found that the woman in front of her was just an ordinary and cunning palace concubine. She should not be a threat to Jiangshan Sheji. It was probably that Wu Dexian had lost his mind after losing his beloved daughter and was making alarmist remarks!
Mengran covered her hot cheeks, pretending to be angry, and said angrily: "Queen Mother, how dare you beat me at will, aren't you afraid that the emperor will wake up and feel distressed?" At the end of the sentence, Mengran pretended to be angry and fell down.
A few tears.
Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother felt that her judgment was correct! She was just a cunning palace concubine, and her tricks were not superb! With Wu Yazhi's intelligence, she would never have been killed by the woman in front of her. Her death was probably really
Retribution. He suppressed the move he had just prepared to deal with the woman in front of him. Ignoring Wu Dexian's anger and the softly crying and aggrieved expression of the beautiful woman in front of him, he arrogantly said to the palace attendant behind him, "Go back to Fengyi Palace!"
"The Queen Mother...this?" Wu Dexian pointed at Mengran and looked at the Queen Mother in confusion.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother rolled her eyes at him and said impatiently, "Old Xiangqie, please don't say too much, the Ai family has its own sense of proportion! Just go back to the front of the palace and wait for the emperor to wake up! It can be seen that the female doctor inside is very skilled.
Whether the emperor is awake or not, it depends on 'tonight'..." The word "tonight" is emphasized in the tone. Most people would hear it as the same, but the person involved, Wu Dexian, immediately understood, stopped talking, and bowed respectfully, saying hurriedly
left.
After watching the Queen Mother's phoenix chariot disappear without a trace, Mengran collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, the palace attendants quickly helped her up, but she said in a trembling voice, "Send me to Yanghe Palace quickly!"
Oh my god, this Queen is certainly not a kind person! If she hadn't been so clever just now, I'm afraid she would have been punished now! The words she emphasized in her tone just now were clearly reminding the old prime minister not to let Bai Mo Leng wake up!
What a vicious Queen Mother!
The palace servants were ordered not to delay and quickly supported Mengran towards Yanghe Hall...
