Xianyue thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of a reasonable answer, so she had to put it aside and ordered A Luo to get the paper and pen that had been delayed for a long time.
Since coming to Qingliang Temple, she would write letters to Hongli whenever she thought of him. However, these letters had never been sent out. It was not because of the strict palace restrictions. As a concubine, if she really wanted to submit the letters to Hongli,
In front of Li, she naturally had this opportunity, but she didn't want to. She loved Hongli, and she also resented Hongli. She didn't know how she should face Hongli, at least not now.
Therefore, she chose to write a letter, and she also chose to put the letter away and not present it to Hongli. Everything...as long as she knew it herself.
Seeing Xianyue writing beautiful words one after another on the thin and smooth Chengxintang paper, Aluo sighed silently and never stopped.
She felt sorry for Xianyue, but she couldn't do anything but stay with her silently, silently supporting her to continue on.
Just when she was writing the last few words, Xianyue's hand suddenly trembled, and then she stopped writing, letting the ink slowly spread on the paper, and her face became ugly. Ah Luo saw the situation
No, he quickly said: "Master, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Seeing that Xianyue didn't speak and her eyes were dull, she became more and more worried and called nervously: "Qi Kuan! Qi Kuan!"
Qi Kuan and Zhi Chun, who were working outside, heard Ah Luo's voice and hurried in, saying, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"You two, hurry up and invite Dr. Song. There seems to be something wrong with the master, so hurry up."
Just as Qi Kuan was about to leave, Xianyue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "There is no need to ask for Dr. Song, I am fine."
They didn't hear Xianyue's words and knew that she was fine, but A Luo and others did not relax, because they clearly heard a violent tremor from Xianyue's tone, a kind of trembling that they couldn't hide even though they tried their best to hide it.
Trembling, the same trembling was in her hands.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you so good..." A'luo didn't know how to ask, because until now, she felt very confused.
Xianyue did not answer her words, but used her other hand to hold her trembling right hand, but it was of no use, because the trembling was not just one hand, but her whole body.
Zhichun walked over and said nervously: "Master, don't scare the slaves. What's wrong with you?"
Qi Kuan did not ask further questions, but went outside to make a cup of tea, handed it to Xianyue, and said softly: "Master, please take a sip of tea first."
Xianyue took the tea, ignoring the tea that was still a little hot, and drank it one after another until she drank the whole cup of tea. Then she put down the cup and a trace of blood returned to her face.
A Luo and Zhi Chun were both anxious to know what happened to her just now, but they did not dare to ask for a while and could only look at her helplessly.
After Xianyue gradually calmed down, she uttered something that they had never expected, "I know why the emperor treats the imperial concubine so favorably, because..." She signaled Qi Kuan to close the door of the wing before continuing.
Go down, "because the imperial concubine will most likely die in the hands of the emperor."
A Luo and others looked at Xianyue in disbelief, even suspecting that they had heard wrongly. The emperor killed Gao? How could this be possible? If so, why did the emperor still pursue Gao as the imperial concubine?
Xianyue saw their reactions in her eyes and smiled bitterly: "It's incredible, isn't it? I couldn't believe it when I thought of it just now."
Qi Kuan was the first to react. He swallowed and said, "Master, why do you think so? The imperial concubine obviously had a strange disease with no cure, so how could she be killed by the emperor?"
"Strange disease? Have you personally diagnosed and treated it?" Facing Xia Yue's words, Qi Kuan shook his head and said: "I am here, how can I diagnose and treat it? Besides, I don't know medical skills."
Xianyue said with a cold expression: "You are not the only one who doesn't understand. Many people don't understand. In their view, what the imperial physician says is the golden rule. If the imperial physician says it is a disease, it is a disease. If the imperial physician says there is no cure, it means there is no cure.
rule."
"Master, are you saying that the imperial doctor is lying?" Qi Kuan's voice was trembling. He usually looked at the imperial doctor as an inconspicuous person, just treating illnesses and taking pulses. When he saw the masters like Xianyue, he had to greet them politely;
But in fact, those people are the most terrifying. Once they try to do something, they can't even notice it.
Xianyue did not answer his words, but said: "When the emperor sent someone to tell the queen mother about the death of the imperial concubine, I was also there. I could clearly see that there was no trace of shock on the queen mother's face, as if she had known it for a long time.
It is as if the imperial concubine will die. Unless she has planned it in advance, or the queen mother has the ability to predict the unknown, there is no way she would know."
A Luo let go of his bitten lips and said: "But if the Queen Mother and the Emperor cannot tolerate the Imperial Concubine, they can directly depose her or even give her death. Even if the smallpox issue cannot be brought out openly, they can still find someone at will.
Why do you need to go to such trouble and give her such honor after her death?"
"If the imperial concubine is directly dealt with, who will repair the Yongding River and who will control the floods?" Xianyue asked A Luo in one sentence, but it also solved everyone's doubts.
Qi Kuan took the lead and said: "I understand, the reason why the Emperor and the Queen Mother did this is to continue to keep Master Gao in check, so that he will not have second thoughts about the Imperial Concubine."
"The reason why Mrs. Gao has been able to remain stable in the harem is because she has a father who can control water. Unfortunately, she made a huge mistake this time. She encouraged the queen to do such a thing without saying anything, and indirectly killed Shui.
Yue, the Queen Mother will never allow her to succeed her
However, Gao Bin has to be considered, so letting her die of a "strange disease" is the best way. In addition, after her death, she was posthumously named the Imperial Concubine. I believe no one will doubt Gao Bin.
The origin of the strange disease has almost been obscured even by me."
A Luo murmured: "If it is really like what the master said, it would be really terrible."
Xianyue sighed and said: "This is a living harem. Never believe what you see with your eyes or hear with your ears, because lies are everywhere."
Zhichun said in a trembling voice: "Normally, when I see the Queen Mother eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, my servant is full of compassion. I really didn't expect her to do such a thing."
Xianyue sneered and said: "How can there be truly compassionate people in the harem? If so, she would not be able to defeat her aunt and become the Queen Mother today. Although this method is too terrifying, there is no doubt that it is the best and most effective way.
It’s effective. I’m afraid that the imperial concubine will be kept in the dark until her death. The imperial concubine... ha, when I hear these three words again at this moment, I only feel ironic."
