Mrs. Huang helped her up and said, "You and I are sisters. How can I blame you for a trivial matter?"
After the family banquet was over, Mrs. Huang accompanied Xianyue to Yanxi Palace. On the way, she said gratefully: "Fortunately, I had my wife to help me just now, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."
Xianyue smiled and said: "Why are you saying such polite things? I said I would help you, so I will definitely help you."
Mrs. Huang responded and said angrily: "I don't know who used such a vicious method to harm my concubine."
Xianyue looked at the crescent moon in the night sky and said coldly: "Who said you saw seabass being steamed in the imperial dining room just now?"
Huang was startled and blurted out: "Mother, do you mean Concubine Yu?"
"It's very likely that she is the one. Fortunately, I asked Qi Kuan to go to the imperial kitchen to inform An Lu and others in advance. In addition, An Lu and others were afraid of being blamed by the emperor, so they helped to consummate the release of the life. That's why Concubine Yu was not allowed to die.
Expose it."
"This woman is really evil-minded." Huang said bitterly, and then said: "In fact, the emperor has no affection for her long ago. The reason why he treats her so favorably is just for the sake of the fifth elder brother, but why?
She still refuses to have peace and always wants to harm others."
"A fifth elder brother may not be able to guarantee her wealth and peace for the rest of her life." After saying this, Xianyue said nothing and walked quietly among the palace walls with the night wind blowing.
The last night of the sixth year of Qianlong's reign passed, and the illusion of peace and tranquility was gradually torn away on this night, returning to the true appearance of the harem!
The first month of the year should have been festive and lively, but the fifth brother’s crying, Jin’s nightmare, Lu’s ghost attack, and Mingyu’s stiffness in her hands and feet again made this new year cast a layer of gloom. Even Hong
Even though I accompanied Ling Ruo to Wan'an Temple to release the animals, I could not break this haze.
The Lu family was disturbed by "ghosts" and could not sleep peacefully, and became increasingly tired. Later, even the Chen family appeared in the same situation. The two of them couldn't help themselves and went to Hongli to tell Hongli that they wanted to invite a mage to come into the palace to exorcise the ghosts. As a result,
Later, Hongli scolded him, saying that the Forbidden City was the residence of the Emperor, so how could there be ghosts and monsters causing trouble? This was simply nonsense.
Although the two of them returned in vain, the matter spread in the palace. Later, the Jin family, Concubine Yu and Guiren Bai went to see Qiu Hongli one after another, thinking that there was something unclean in the palace, and hoped that
You can ask a mage to exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings.
However, Hongli never let go of this matter. With the secret support of Concubine Yu and Jin Bin, everyone went to Kunning Palace together, hoping that Mingyu could advise Hongli and introduce the master to the palace.
Mrs. Lu even wiped her tears and said, "My queen, you must help me, otherwise I may lose my life if this continues."
Mingyu scolded: "It's not even a matter of life. It's such an unlucky thing to say, thanks to you, Qingbin, for saying it."
Mrs. Lu cried and said, "I don't know whether it's good or bad. I just know that I really can't stand this kind of day where I can't sleep every night."
Jin took over the words and said: "Mother, please don't blame Qingbin, even I can't stand it any longer. I often feel uneasy fetal movements these days, I'm really afraid..."
Concubine Yu sighed and said: "The same goes for Yongqi. It has been so long and he is still crying at night. Doctor Xu couldn't diagnose the problem after looking at it. He is already weak. If this continues, I am really afraid...
After a pause, she said: "I heard that my empress had stiffness in her hands and feet a few days ago. If there really was nothing causing trouble in the palace, how could so many things have happened?"
Mingyu said hesitantly: "I understand, but the emperor is very disgusted with inviting the mage into the palace. I'm afraid that if I go and tell him, the result will be the same."
Seeing that Mingyu was about to relent, Mr. Lu cheered up and said quickly: "The Emperor has always loved the Empress Chong. If the Empress is the one to say it, the Emperor will definitely agree."
Concubine Yu saw Mingyu's hesitation in her eyes and said: "It's strange to say that inviting shamans into the palace to exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings has happened before. I don't know why the emperor is so opposed to it this time."
Jin's eyes flashed and she said: "Yes, I also feel something is wrong, as if...the emperor deliberately prevents the shaman from entering the palace."
Mrs. Chen was surprised and said: "Is there such a thing? Doesn't the emperor not want to get rid of the evil spirits in the palace?"
Jin shook her head and said: "I don't know about this. I just expressed my feelings in my heart. Maybe I am overthinking." After that, she said to Mingyu: "Concubine.
I don’t want to bother the empress, but apart from the empress, I really don’t know who else to turn to. Concubine Xian always obeys and pleases the emperor in everything, and is not willing to speak for me at all.”
Concubine Yu stood up and said sadly: "I only have one child, Yongqi. I am really afraid that something will happen to him. Please help me." As she said this, she knelt down. As she knelt down, the others also parted.
Then he knelt down.
Seeing them kneeling down to beg each other, Mingyu sighed and said: "Okay, I will try to advise the emperor, but I can't guarantee whether the emperor will agree."
Concubine Yu looked happy and said, "I know this, thank you very much for your mercy."
The rest of the people also thanked Mingyu one after another. After they left, Mingyu ordered Jiyou to prepare a companion to go to the Yangxin Hall.
When they got there, Hongli was summoning the ministers. Mingyu went to the side hall and waited for half an hour before he saw Hongli come in. Mingyu walked up and was about to speak, but found that his face was not very good-looking and asked with concern: "What's wrong with the emperor?"
?What happened?"
Hongli forced a smile, held her hand and said: "It's just some small things, it doesn't matter. But Queen, why are you here? It's so cold that you don't have to worry about freezing."
Mingyu smiled and said: "I miss the emperor, so I came to see if this is not enough?"
Hongli helped her sit down and said, "Of course, I'm just worried that you will have to work hard. You must know that you are not alone now." He looked at Mingyu's bulging belly with gentle eyes and said, "And we are about to be born.
's children."
Mingyu felt his concern for her and her unborn child, smiled softly, and then said: "Actually, I came here today because I have something to discuss with the emperor."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Under Hongli's gaze, Mingyu said softly: "I know that during this period, things happened one after another in the palace. Qing and the others couldn't sleep every night, and the fifth elder brother kept crying again.
Even my concubine suffered from paralysis of her hands and feet twice and was unable to move. People in the palace were panicked, saying that something evil was causing trouble."
Hongli's smile faded, he let go of Mingyu's hand, and said coldly: "What's wrong, does the Queen believe this nonsense?"
Mingyu was a little surprised by the change in Hongli's attitude. Even if he didn't like to hear this, he shouldn't have such a strong reaction. She suppressed the doubts in her heart and said: "It's not a question of whether I believe it or not.
But this is the fact, otherwise how could so many things happen at once."
Hongli said casually: "Maybe this is all a coincidence?"
