3758. Chapter One Four Hundred Seventy-Four: Propagation
In the days that followed, everything seemed to have returned to calm. Xianyue no longer interfered with Wei Xiuyan's affairs, and Hongli continued to come to Kunning Palace every one or two days as before. However, because of Wei Xiuyan's matter, the relationship between him and Xiuyue
, there always seems to be a layer between us, not as loving and seamless as before, when we are alone
, spoke very little, and mostly sat quietly without saying a word, and then left silently, as if Hongli walked all this way to Kunning Palace just to sit like this for a while, and every time he left
When leaving, Xianyue always looked at his back for a long time and refused to look back.
Such anomalies were noticed by Yong Cang. He was keenly aware of the problem between Huang Ama and Huang E Niang. For this reason, he asked Xianyue more than once, but every time, Xia Yue said it was okay.
, told him not to think nonsense. In desperation, he could only go to his best friend Yongxuan to discuss it, but Yongxuan was only a half-year-old child two years older than him. How could he have any idea about this kind of thing?
What can I do but comfort Yongxing not to worry too much.
At the same time, Wei Jingxuan finally asked Wei Xiuyan why she was so cold and even hostile towards her through Father Wei's insinuations; Mingtong...she didn't know this Taoist nun at all, let alone bribed her. It was obvious that someone was driving a wedge.
The relationship between their sisters, who wants to kill her and knows how to use this method, must be someone from the harem, and the most suspicious ones are Hu and the others.
After she found out about this, she asked her father Wei to explain it to her, but Wei Xiuyan didn't believe it at all. She only thought that her father was helping her out of favor. She wanted to explain it to Wei Xiuyan in person, but she couldn't leave the palace, Wei Xiuyan couldn't enter the palace, and the sisters couldn't.
After meeting each other, I had to put this matter aside for the time being and look for opportunities later.
After April, the weather became hotter day by day, and the screams of summer cicadas could be heard everywhere, from morning to night, which made people feel anxious. It was only quiet for a few days after the palace people used sticky sticks to catch them.
Some, but not long after, the trees were once again covered with summer cicadas that had broken out of their shells from the ground.
In such sultry weather, what Xianyue was worried about also happened. Rumors about Wei Xiuyan began to spread in the palace. They were half true and half false, specious. Almost everyone said it was different. The only thing that was the same was that the spearhead was gone.
They all point to Changchun Palace.
Although Xianyue repeatedly ordered that no one be allowed to discuss the matter, this incident was too surprising. Although everyone obeyed openly, they still talked about it in private. Some people even went to Yongshou Palace and asked Wei Jingxuan if the matter was true.
He just smiled and said he didn't know.
On this day, the Ning family and Xin Bin also came to ask about this matter. Before Wei Jingxuan could answer, Xin Bin had already taken the lead and said: "Although the queen said that this matter was made out of nothing and is ridiculous, but there is no smoke without fire. If it is really nothing,
, how can it be spread like this?"
"Yes, I went to the King's Office yesterday to ask for the Emperor's living allowance, but the person there refused to give it. From this look, the Emperor must have left the palace." After saying this, Ning said again: "Sister Xiu is beautiful.
Yan’s sister, you should know her affairs best, has the emperor...really accepted Xiuyan?”
"This matter..." Wei Jingxuan just said two words and then sighed, "Oh, sister, what do you want me to say? The Queen has issued a ban and we are not allowed to discuss this matter anymore. If it gets to her
In my ears, I’m afraid I’m going to be reprimanded again.”
Ning said disapprovingly: "There are only a few of us here, and there are no outsiders. Unless the queen has ears, she won't be able to hear us."
Seeing that Wei Jingxuan was still hesitant, Xin Bin said: "Isn't my sister worried that I will inform the Queen?"
"Of course not, it's just..." Wei Jingxuan said in a pretentious manner: "Okay, I'll tell you, just don't spread it out, so as not to get into trouble." After the two agreed, she said in a deep voice: "There are rumors.
Although it is a bit outrageous, it is generally correct, Xiuyan... does live in Guangxiu Garden."
Although she had guessed it, when she heard it, Ning was still so shocked that she stood up. After a long while, she sat down again and said in a trembling voice: "So, everything is true? Why? Isn't the emperor always disgusted with the show?
Yan, why did you do that suddenly?"
"I don't know this either. After all, I haven't seen Xiuyan since she went to Ziyun Temple. Even the matter of Guang Xiuyuan was only known after my father wrote me a letter from home. At that time, I was with
Like my sister, I felt so surprised that I almost thought my father was joking with me. The emperor didn't like this matter to be spread, so I never mentioned it to anyone except Mao Gui and Qiaoyu."
Xin Bin frowned and said, "Then how did Concubine Ying know about it?"
"I find this strange too, but... Concubine Ying has been keeping an eye on us, and her Hu family is quite powerful in the capital. If you really want to inquire, it's not impossible."
Ning said worriedly: "Now that the matter has spread, the emperor may have heard about it. I don't know what the trouble will be when the time comes. It's really worrying."
Xin Bin chuckled and said: "Sister, it's so troublesome. Even if you have to worry, it's Concubine Ying who is worried. The emperor arranged Xiuyan outside the palace just because he didn't want people to know. After all, Xiuyan's identity is quite embarrassing, but now she is
I was stabbed out by Concubine Ying, sister, tell me, will the emperor be happy?"
"I naturally know this, and I'm afraid that this matter will have an impact on Xiuyan." After she said this, Xin Bin gradually suppressed the smile on her face, and said in a concentrated voice: "After my sister said this, it is indeed true.
It is somewhat disadvantageous to Xiuyan, so...is there any way to avoid it?"
Ning turned her attention to Wei Jingxuan, "My sister is the most resourceful, I wonder if there is any way?"
Wei Jingxuan shook her head: "I can still think of other things, but this... is really difficult. I can only look at Xiuyan's fate. I hope she can survive it safely."
Xin Bin thought for a while and said slowly: "Actually, this thing may seem bad, but it actually has a good side."
Ning said in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"
Concubine Xin collected her thoughts and said: "Sister, think about it. Although Xiuyan is favored by the emperor, has been blessed by the Holy Spirit, and lives alone in such a large Guangxiu Garden, she can still protect the family, but behind all these splendors
In the middle, there is no name and no identity. In the future
Even if she gives birth to a child, she will not be recognized as an imperial heir. From this point of view, she is even worse than those ordinary nobles. Now that this matter has come out, one may be Xiuyan and the other may be implicated.
It was Xiuyan who was able to..."
"Enter the palace!" Wei Jingxuan spat out these two words and raised her eyebrows: "Are you right?"
Xin Bin smiled and said: "It seems that sister has already thought of it. Yes, even if she enters the palace, as long as Xiuyan enters the palace, the emperor will definitely give her a formal title, and it will be easy for us to take care of each other in the future."
