Magpie was very active. Within a few days, she searched every corner of the Jade Concubine's palace. She didn't find anything else, but this auspicious cloud wooden hairpin was indeed something that the Concubine Yu cared about very much. She kept it in the brocade box. inside, take it out and read it from time to time.
Jin Xin knew the emperor to some extent. Although he sympathized with Concubine Jade, he was not the kind of person to talk about flowers before the moon and under the moon. He preferred to discuss reality, and the things he gave were always measured in terms of monetary value.
But Concubine Yu was aloof and arrogant. She always liked to recite poems and write lyrics. She wanted to find someone with whom her soul was compatible to talk about life. She especially liked wild flowers in the mountains, small gifts that were endowed with special meanings.
Concubine Jade just had to compromise to show her favor to the emperor, and she was probably still thinking about the person whose soul was once hers.
Gao Mingyao ordered people to go into the palace to create the garden style of Jinfeng Yulu Palace and make stone carvings. They were all done according to Concubine Yu's preferences. In fact, Jin Xin could understand her mood.
If someone has walked into her heart like this and done so much, even if she realizes that she didn't mean it in the end, the things that happened will still exist. Facing these things day and night, she will always feel regret in her heart. What she ended up losing is not only Gao Mingyao's life was even more unbearable for him. He had the dignity to let this past be completely sealed.
Jin Xin originally didn't want to kill them all, but she actually wanted to target her mother. She also colluded with the Queen Mother, so there was no guarantee that she would not make a comeback. Only by letting the Emperor deal with her personally could she eliminate the possibility of her coming back.
In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed again. Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and in more than ten days, it would be New Year's Eve.
At this time, the emperor became busier and rarely came to the harem. When walking between the palaces, almost all the concubines came to pay their respects to Concubine De. Those who were pregnant were kept in their own palaces.
However, Concubine Jade went to the Queen Mother's Palace very frequently, almost once every two or three days. Out of filial piety, the emperor occasionally went to pay his respects. It was at this time that Concubine Yu would meet the emperor.
The Queen Mother said a few words and asked the two of them to come out together.
The first time, the emperor thought it was an accidental encounter, so he stopped by the Jade Concubine's palace and had lunch with her.
But they met twice in ten days, and when little Eunuch Yang pretended to chat with Huang Wanshun while the emperor was taking a nap, the emperor heard about Concubine Jade going to the Queen Mother's Palace almost every day.
"Xiao Yangzi, come in!" The emperor cleared his throat and called.
Little Eunuch Yang hurriedly bowed his body and came in, "Your Majesty, you are awake. Please rinse your mouth."
As he spoke, he brought the warmed mouthwash tea to the emperor. The emperor rinsed his mouth, spit it into the spittoon, and said, "You just said that Concubine Jade goes to see the Queen Mother every day. When did this start?"
"It's been a few days. I heard from the servant below that Concubine Yu was in the Queen Mother's Palace on the day the Sixth Prince left the palace. The Queen Mother's body felt much better with Concubine Yu accompanying her."
When the emperor heard this, there was a sharp look on his brows. He thought of how he had looked very sensible when he was in the Jade Concubine's palace. He thought that she sincerely served him and was willing to put her heart into it. However, he did not expect that she had colluded with the Queen Mother. Together.
She had no intentions after all. If she had her intentions, how could she not know that she and the Queen Mother were not as harmonious as they seemed, but she went there to act cute.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu just sent someone to say that she feels a little uncomfortable in her stomach and wants to ask the Emperor to take a look." Huang Wanshun came in and said.
The emperor didn't even raise his eyes. He put on his clothes and said humbly, "Have you called the imperial doctor?"
"She yelled. She said she felt uncomfortable and wanted to ask the emperor to see her."
As soon as Huang Wanshun finished speaking, little Eunuch Yang said quickly, "Your Majesty, you promised your concubine this morning that you would go to Cheng'en Palace to accompany the eldest prince in the afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Huang Wanshun frowned and looked at little Eunuch Yang, but did not speak.
Deal with him later.
The emperor seemed to have just remembered, "Yes, I promised the imperial concubine to send someone to talk to the imperial concubine. I don't have time. She is really not feeling well. Please call more imperial doctors to see her."
The emperor felt uncomfortable when he thought that it was the Queen Mother who taught her how to please him, as if he was being put on a surface and being studied how to do it.
The Queen Mother first thought of supporting the concubines for her own use, letting them inquire about the Holy Will, so as to benefit the Lin family. It was not unknown to him that the emperor did not favor any of the concubines she praised.
Concubine Yu also chose to side with the Queen Mother, and he was also disappointed.
In the afternoon, the emperor went to Chengen Palace.
After Concubine Yu learned about it, she sat up from the bed angrily, "Did the people sent not send a message to the emperor, saying that I am not feeling well?"
"No, the emperor was taking a nap when I went there. I sent a message to Manager Huang, but the Cheng'en Palace also said that they would invite the emperor, so the emperor sent someone back and asked you to invite more imperial doctors to see you." Magpie was helpless. road.
Concubine Yu angrily picked up the pillow and threw it on the ground, "It's Cheng'en Palace again, why does she always have trouble with me!"
"Now go and ask Cheng'en Palace to invite the Emperor to come over. Just say that the fetus is unstable and the Emperor must come and take a look!" Concubine Yu said angrily.
Naturally, the magpie would not refuse, so he hurriedly said, "Slave, go now!"
It's best to let the emperor know how unreasonable Concubine Yu is.
But after the magpie went out, Concubine Jade calmed down. It was inappropriate, and she hurriedly asked people to stop the magpie. She could not call the emperor. She finally made the emperor soften his heart, and she could not ruin her image.
But the magpie was very fast, and even ran out, and none of the people who were sent could catch up with it.
The emperor was having fun with Hong'er when Magpie came in and replied, which made the emperor very unhappy, "Has the imperial doctor been invited?"
"No... no invitation. The Jade Concubine is just waiting for the Emperor to take a look. If the Emperor takes a look, she will be fine." Magpie pretended to be afraid and deliberately pulled up her sleeves to let people see the blood on her hands. hurt.
"What happened to the injury on your hand?" Jin Xin asked.
Magpie hurriedly covered the injury, "I'm fine, slave. This injury was caused by myself accidentally."
"Cui Gu, let her see. It's not good to hurt your hand and leave a scar." Jin Xin said.
Not long after the person was taken down, Cui Gu came back and said, "Your Majesty, Madam, the magpie's body is covered with bruises. It looks very serious."
Jin Xin glanced at the emperor to see his reaction. The emperor raised his eyelids, handed Hong'er to the wet nurse beside him, and said, "Let her come and answer."
The magpie immediately stepped forward and knelt down quickly, with a look of panic and fear on his face. Jin Xin said, "Lift up your sleeves and take a look."
The magpie lifted it up, revealing two arms. The fair and thin arms were covered with purple bruises, and there were lacerations on the wrists. The emperor frowned, "How did you do it?"
The magpie couldn't hold it any longer, and fell on the ground, crying, "I beg the Emperor to grant me the favor of serving as a servant elsewhere. I really don't want to serve the Jade Concubine anymore. I have only been serving the Jade Concubine for two months, and the beatings and injuries I received are worse than before." Gong Xi is still many years old, and I really can’t bear it anymore.”
When the emperor heard this girl accusing Concubine Jade, his face suddenly darkened, "Is this all done by Concubine Jade?"
