After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the door of the Lu family was almost broken down, but Lu Wanwan was kept in the palace by the imperial concubine and did not come out.
Shen Xingwan quietly recuperated behind closed doors. After more than a month, the wound had recovered by 60%, and he could move around normally without any problem.
Fu Jingchao finally prepared enough food, grass and military pay to send to the border in the midst of autumn rain and cold.
After a month of hard work day and night, news soon spread from the Zhennan Palace that Fu Jingchao was seriously ill.
Shen Xingwan was already able to get up and walk around, so he came to see him openly.
Fu Jingchao was wrapped in thick clothes and looked a little weak.
The Haitang Meng that had not been completely eliminated and the Northwest Station had hurt his foundation after all.
Fu Jingchao was in a good mood when he saw her coming, "Zhuangzi just sent some fresh game today. I asked the kitchen to cook it for you to try."
Shen Xingwan took a sip of the tea from Honglingfeng and looked Fu Jingchao up and down, "What are your plans next."
Fu Jingchao was silent for a long time, "I have told the emperor to go to the hot spring village outside to recuperate."
Shen Xingwan looked at his legs, "What do you mean?"
"Lou Ran once said that the longer it takes, the worse it will be for future recovery." Fu Jingchao smiled bitterly, "Since the emperor insists on forcing each other hard, maybe the Fu family should change their ways."
This matter of military pay really made Fu Jingchao disheartened.
"Lou Ran will be coming to Beijing soon. I'm going to Zhuangzi this time to completely heal my leg." Fu Jing said.
He was seriously injured at the time, but there was nothing he could do to stop him from becoming disabled.
Lou Ran had resorted to some tricks, and it was estimated that the problem was not completely cured, which created the illusion that he couldn't stand up on his legs.
The imperial doctors in the palace may be good at treating other diseases, but when it comes to injuries, they are just mediocre. Doctors like Lou Ran who grew up in the military camp are more skilled in this area.
Shen Xingwan nodded, "Be careful, I won't be able to accompany you."
"Try to keep a low profile during this period. No matter what, let's get through this year safely first." Fu Jingchao also warned.
The two whispered for a long time, and Shen Xingwan didn't leave until dark.
Everyone in the capital knew why Fu Jingchao was so ill.
The emperor probably still had some sense of reason, and he happily lifted his ban, allowed him to go to Zhuangzi for training, and rewarded him with a bunch of medicinal materials.
After Fu Jingchao left, Shen Xingwan continued to recover from his injuries behind closed doors.
Suddenly there was news in the palace that the queen and the emperor had a dispute and were seriously ill.
The queen always took great care of Shen Xingwan, and because she wanted to find out what happened, she and Xie Zhuohua went to the palace to visit the empress.
Xie Zhuohua said with an unhappy expression on the carriage, "It is said that the emperor threw a cup in my aunt's palace the night before yesterday and walked away. The two had a big argument, and my aunt fell ill the next day."
Although the emperor always loved his concubine, he always treated Empress Xie with great respect.
Such disputes rarely occurred, and the queen just said that it was no big deal.
The Xie family is still worried after all.
"My aunt summoned Mrs. Lu to the palace that night." Xie Zhuohua lowered his voice and said.
This time the quarrel became more and more complicated and confusing.
Shen Xingwan was shocked. If she remembered correctly, in the book, Lu Wanwan contracted a serious illness and died on an autumn night deep in the palace.
Could it be just these two days?
Shen Xingwan took his thoughts and went into Cining Palace with Xie Zhuohua to pay his respects to the queen.
The queen leaned on the couch and said lazily, "Why are you here? Get up."
The two stood up and sat down. Xie Zhuohua asked with concern, "How is my aunt's health?"
Shen Xingwan looked up and saw that the queen, dressed in plain clothes, did not look seriously ill, but there was a coldness on her face that could not be concealed.
"I'm fine." The queen said softly, "I'm just sick..."
"What?" The two of them were confused.
The queen waved her hand, and the people in the palace immediately left.
The queen put a piece of candy in her mouth, then lowered her voice and spoke slowly, "The emperor went to accompany the imperial concubine the night before yesterday. It is said that he drank too much... and mistook Lu Wanwan for the imperial concubine when he was young..."
It was clearly sunny outside today and it was very warm inside the palace, but the two of them broke out in a cold sweat as the queen spoke in a low voice.
Jiang Zhenzhen was feeling unwell and unconscious in the middle of the night. Jiang Youbai personally went to ask the emperor for a doctor, but he happened to encounter Lu Wanwan holding a pair of scissors to commit suicide.
Things broke out immediately, and the queen rushed over to persuade Lu Wanwan, who was seeking death, to calm her down until midnight.
Shen Xingwan closed his eyes and felt clear in his heart. There was no Jiang Youbai in the book. Such a scandal was probably kept in the Chaohua Palace by the imperial concubine, and the queen did not rush there, so Lu Wanwan "died of illness" deep in the palace.
Xie Zhuohua couldn't hold back his anger, "How could this happen? He has watched Lu Wanwan grow up."
The queen's eyes were cold, so she couldn't help but quarreled with the emperor.
When she closed her eyes, she looked like Lu Wanwan, who was chubby when she was a child, smiling sweetly and reaching out to her for candy.
At that time, the imperial concubine was in great favor and often brought her niece to the palace to play.
Emperor Aiwu and Wujia Lu Wanwan grew up cute and sweet-tongued. The Emperor even hugged her and coaxed her.
Even though the Queen didn't like Concubine Lu and the Lu family, she didn't dislike Lu Wanwan.
An innocent and cheerful little girl with dimples in her smile. Even if she is a little willful, who would really hate her?
"He really did it." The queen said coldly.
There were three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem, and she never cared who he wanted to favor.
But this time she felt nauseous. Even when she closed her eyes at night, she looked like Lu Wanwan's smiling eyes with crooked eyes when she was a child.
The room fell silent.
No one could say anything. Lu Wanwan was not yet seventeen years old, and she buried herself in this deep palace in this way.
"Where is Concubine Lu?" Xie Zhuohua couldn't help but ask.
When the Queen mentioned Concubine Lu, she felt even colder all over. She couldn't help but whisper, "How can power be so charming? Is it so charming that it makes people unrecognizable?"
It is said that Concubine Lu loves Lu Wanwan the most, and Lu Wanwan is also the closest to her.
The queen still remembers that Concubine Lu was seriously ill once, and eight-year-old Lu Wanwan stayed in the palace all night.
She was obviously very scared, but she refused to cry, and asked her helplessly with her big eyes open, "Queen, my aunt will be fine, right?"
Such a young child had to hold it in until Lu Guifei woke up, and then he hugged Concubine Lu and came out with a cry, saying that he was afraid that he would never see his aunt again.
Recalling the past, the queen's face became sad, "How could Concubine Lu be so cruel? That child has been raised by her side for half of her life since she was a child. What's the difference between her and her daughter?"
After being in the palace for so many years, the queen thought she had seen through the insidiousness and ruthlessness of the harem, but this time she still felt sad and cold.
The palace is really a cannibalistic place, and the power is beyond recognition.
When the two of them came out of the Queen's Palace, they were both in a very low mood.
