Jin Ping said mercilessly: "She can just stay there and dream like crazy. The prince...she deserves it!"
Listening to their words, Xianyue suddenly felt something in her heart and said, "Did your concubine ask you to go to Guangxiu Garden after you diagnosed her pulse?"
After Wang Yuanping nodded, she looked thoughtful, and Qi Kuan whispered: "Master, what's wrong?"
Xianyue sneered and said: "There is nothing wrong. I just thought of the real intention of your concubine in letting Dr. Wang go to Guangxiu Garden." Amid everyone's doubtful eyes, she stroked her cheek and said: "Three years and five years later.
, your concubine is almost forty years old, even if she can have children again, this age has come to an end;
She couldn't give birth, so she thought about Wei Xiuyan. If the latter could give birth to the prince, her aunt would naturally benefit from it. Maybe the emperor would take Wei Xiuyan back to the palace for the sake of the prince.
When the sisters took care of each other and raised the prince together, their status was much more stable than it is now."
Jin Ping said with disgust: "She has really good intentions, but it's a pity that Wei Xiuyan doesn't accept her favor."
Xianyue said nothing and only said to Wang Yuanping: "Go back and be more careful." After Wang Yuanping left as instructed, she called Qi Kuan and said: "Go to the royal service room and get the emperor's living notes.
"
"Hey!" Qi Kuan bowed and left. Not long after, he got the daily note. As the pages turned down, Xianyue's face became darker and darker, and her chest was so tight that she couldn't breathe.
It is recorded in the daily notes that in February and March of the 26th year of Qianlong's reign, Hongli left the palace four times, each time at night. However, no one in the palace knew about this, not even her.
I thought Hongli had been staying in the palace.
The ninth day of March was the day when Hongli left the palace for the last time recorded in the daily notes. She remembered that night very clearly. Because she knew that there had been a lot of things going on in the court recently and Hongli often stayed up late, she made Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup with her own hands and sent it to her.
When he arrived outside Yangxin Hall, he was stopped by Huang Ying, who said that Hongli had sent an order that no one should disturb him while he was reviewing the memorial.
Xianyue thought about Hongli's hard work, so she didn't say anything. She handed the lotus seed soup to Huang Ying and asked him to forward it to him before returning. Now that I think about it, Hongli was not in the Yangxin Hall at all, and the bright lights were just to confuse others.
Just a trick!
Hongli...how could he deceive her and everyone like this? Also, he had clearly said before that he didn't care about Wei Xiuyan, let alone accept her into the palace. When the news came that Wei Xiuyan and Yong Rong were engaged in a private affair
At that time, he was furious and refused to allow them to be together no matter what. In the end, it caused Yong Rong's tragedy. But in the blink of an eye... he placed her outside the palace and even gave her the entire Guangxiu Garden.
, not to mention various rewards.
Hongli, you and I have been married for many years, why do you want to deceive me like this? Which of your words is true and which of you is false?
Xianyue resisted the soreness in her eyes, closed her living note, handed it to Qi Kuan, and said in a hoarse voice: "Send it back."
Qi Kuan took it in his hand, but did not leave immediately. There was a look on his face that he was hesitating to speak. When Xianyue saw this, she said, "Is there anything else?"
Qi Kuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Returning to the master, when I went to the minister's room just now, I heard from people there that the emperor has withdrawn money from the inner treasury several times recently, but no one knows where it was used."
Jin Ping frowned and said: "It's strange. The emperor had previously postponed the expansion of Ziyun Temple and Wanshou Temple. The cold disaster in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has also passed. There is no need to use a lot of silver in the palace. What is the emperor using the inner treasury for?"
Xianyue closed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Guangxiu Garden is comparable to a palace. To maintain such a house, it must cost a lot of money. Moreover, this garden has been vacant for many years. Although it is well maintained, when people really want to live in it,
Renovations are inevitable, and since Wei Xiuyan does not have any monthly salary, all these expenses will naturally be borne by the emperor."
Jinping was angry and anxious when he heard this, "It's for Wei Xiuyan again, Your Majesty...what kind of medicine can he sell in this gourd?"
Xianyue waved her hands tiredly and said: "You all should step aside, I want to be alone for a while!"
"Master..." Jinping was about to say more, but Qi Kuan had already pulled her out. Once outside, Jinping broke away from his hand and said displeasedly: "What are you pulling me out for? I haven't said anything yet."
It’s over!”
Qi Kuan glanced at her and said coldly: "You think the master is not annoying enough or something, what else are you talking about?"
Jin Ping said angrily: "It is precisely because I know that the master is upset that I have to speak. You can't just watch Wei Xiuyan confuse the emperor and do nothing, right?" At this point, she muttered again: "There is a concubine.
It's already annoying enough, but now there's another Wei Xiuyan, I really don't know what the emperor is thinking."
Qi Kuan shook his head and said: "What can you say? Do you want the emperor to execute Wei Xiuyan?"
Jin Ping said bitterly: "This woman first killed the sixth elder brother, and now she confused the emperor. She has no sense of shame. Fortunately, the sixth elder brother kept interceding for her before he died. It's really not worth it."
Tell me more, shouldn't she die?"
"From our point of view, she deserves to die, but from the emperor's point of view? Don't think about it. Since the emperor gave her the entire Guangxiu Garden, he is obviously very favored. Once the master says that, he will definitely
If you displease the emperor, you will really be in trouble."
Jin Ping said disapprovingly: "Could it be that the emperor would ignore the love he has had with his master for so many years just for the sake of a mere Wei Xiuyan?"
Qi Kuan sighed and said: "The king's kindness is unpredictable, who can predict it accurately." Before Jinping could say anything, he added: "In short, the master has his own opinion on this matter, so just leave it alone and don't tell anyone.
Get up." Although Jinping felt aggrieved, he didn't say anything more.
On this day, Xianyue locked herself in the warm pavilion and did not allow anyone to enter. When the lanterns were first lit, Jinping found Qi Kuan and discussed: "The dinner has been prepared in the small kitchen. Let's go and treat the master to it."
One o'clock, she hasn't eaten anything this afternoon."
When Qi Kuan was about to agree, he caught a glimpse of bright yellow out of the corner of his eye. He quickly clapped his sleeves and knelt down, "This slave is paying your respects to your Majesty. Your Majesty, His Majesty's blessing!"
Jinping turned around after hearing this and saw Hongli walking towards them. Although he felt a little unhappy, he still knelt down and saluted. Hongli seemed to be in a good mood. Huang Ying, who came with him, was also holding a food box in his hand.
After signaling the two of them to get up, he said: "Where is your master? Have you had any meals?"
Qi Kuan glanced at him quietly and whispered: "When I return to the emperor, the master is in Dongnuan Pavilion, and I am preparing to treat the master to a meal."
Hongli said "hmm" and said: "Pass the meal to Dongnuan Pavilion." After giving these instructions, he took Huang Ying to the Dongnuan Pavilion first. Jinping spat from behind: "It's a good thing he still seems to be fine."
