Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

It turns out that this is the emperor's preference.

Lu Xuan stood in front of the courtyard of Xuanming Hall. The sky was gray and chrysanthemums were blooming in the courtyard. In the past, Xuanming Hall was full of roses, but now all the roses have been removed.

There was no longer a single rose to be seen in the harem.

Lu Xuan was outside, and asked Xiao Qin beside her: "I remember that Concubine Chen seemed to hate roses."

Xiaoqin nodded: "I have inquired about it and it is true."

Lu Xuan smiled bitterly, her nose sour: "I see."

Shen Wei once liked roses, so the emperor planted roses all over the palace; Shen Wei hated roses, so the emperor removed all the roses from the palace. Shen Wei liked crabapples and chrysanthemums, so there were more crabapples and chrysanthemums in the palace...

Lu Xuan felt as if her heart was dug out and was covered in blood. She left Xuanming Palace in a daze, thinking about many past events along the way.

She always felt that emperors had no love and that their love was always short-lived.

Today I realized how wrong she was.

Lu Xuan returned to the cold Changxin Palace in a state of despair. As soon as she sat down, her son, who was less than two years old, ran over happily and threw himself into her arms: "Mother, mother, I want to eat some candy cakes."

Lu Xuan raised her head and looked at her son Li Chengjue for a long time.

The emperor favored Shen Wei alone, and also valued Shen Wei's two sons. Yang Xuanji, the most knowledgeable man in Daqing, was the first teacher of Shen Wei's son. The emperor even taught Shen Wei's son horse riding and archery himself.

But as for her son, Lu Xuan, the emperor would at most hug him and praise him a few words.

Lu Xuan suddenly felt cold all over. She realized that the emperor was training Shen Wei's son as his heir!

"No...absolutely not..." Lu Xuan hugged her son.

If Shen Wei's son ascended the throne, wouldn't she, Lu Xuan, be completely defeated! Shen Wei had already taken the emperor's heart, and Shen Wei's son was going to take the throne!

No!

She couldn't let this happen!

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Li Chengjue looked at Lu Xuan worriedly, his little eyes full of worry.

Lu Xuan forced out a loving smile: "The kitchen is already making sugar cakes, dear child, go back to the room and rest first. Mother will come to see you later."

Li Chengjue nodded obediently: "Okay."

Li Chengjue ran away in a flash.

Lu Xuan leaned on the soft couch and called the palace maid Xiaoqin: "Is there any news from Doctor Mo?"

Xiaoqin whispered, "My Lord, the weather has been cold recently, and many palace maids have caught colds. Imperial Physician Mo is also sick. I have been watching him secretly, and I have discovered that the head maid in Concubine Chen's palace visits him every day, and she is very attentive."

Lu Xuan clenched her fingers: "Keep staring."

She wants to use Doctor Mo to completely bring down Shen Wei!

The emperor is a man of great integrity. Can he accept that his beloved woman is involved with another man?

"Don't worry, master. I'll be keeping an eye on it all the time." Xiaoqin replied.

Xiaoqin saw that Lu Xuan looked a little off and said worriedly, "Master, you are still pregnant and will give birth in two months. You must take care of yourself."

In recent months, Lu Xuan has always been unable to sleep at night, feeling tired and worried. As a result, her pregnancy is very unstable and she occasionally suffers from abdominal pain.

Xiaoqin was worried that if her master continued to be so depressed, something might go wrong during childbirth.

Lu Xuan smiled bitterly, stroking her bulging belly, her tone bitter: "Even a child can't win the emperor's favor. Even if I give birth to another son, he will become a stepping stone for Concubine Chen."

Xiaoqin didn't know how to comfort her.

Lu Xuan sighed, looking at the chrysanthemums blooming all over the yard, her eyes slowly turning cold: "Since I can't get it, then I'll just go and rob it."

Who would have thought that the prince that the Lu family secretly supported all those years ago was Prince Heng.

Prince Heng and the Lu family are still in contact.

Lu Xuan thought for a moment and told Xiao Qin: "Get paper and ink. I want to write a letter to my father. The Xie family has a lot of land and minerals in Yunzhou. If the Xie family goes bankrupt, these things will fall into the pockets of the Lu family."

Xiaoqin frowned: "Master, the Queen Mother may protect the Xie family."

Lu Xuan held the brush in her hand and said gloomily, "Then add fuel to the fire and make sure the Queen Mother can't protect the Xie family."

...

...

After another five or six days, Shen Wei's persistent high fever finally subsided and she began to regain consciousness. She immediately looked in the mirror and sighed silently when she saw her pale and thin self in the silver mirror.

It will take a long time for her to restore the face she has taken so much care of.

Medical conditions in ancient times were too poor. If she were still in modern times, she would have recovered long ago after being hospitalized and prescribed two doses of medicine.

She had been ill for about ten days. After Shen Wei's condition improved slightly, she immediately moved back to Yongning Palace to recuperate. Zhang Miaoyu smelled something and rushed over to visit her.

"You are finally feeling better." Zhang Miaoyu sat down on the edge of the bed and complained, "The emperor does not allow outsiders to disturb you while you are recovering. He was relieved only when your pulse was stable yesterday."

Zhang Miaoyu looked at Shen Wei who had just recovered from a serious illness.

She has lost weight and looks like a beautiful lady. I feel pity for her. She is like a new bud sprouting from a dead tree after a fire, showing signs of life.

Zhang Miaoyu wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Fortunately you are fine. If you had gone, what would have happened to those children in Leyou?"

Shen Wei finally sobered up today. She was covered with a thick fox fur blanket and smiled weakly: "I don't want to die yet. I want to live to at least a hundred years old."

The palace maid brought a stomach-warming hot soup, and Shen Wei took two sips from the bowl.

Shen Wei asked Zhang Miaoyu again: "Is Concubine Lan okay? Did Wu and Xie get divorced?"

She was so sick these days that she was confused and rarely conscious. She always dreamed of modern scenes, her hometown, and the city she lived in. She had not had time to ask about the major and minor events that happened in and outside the Qing Palace.

Zhang Miaoyu's expression became very sad.

Zhang Miaoyu lowered her head and said sullenly, "Princess Lan died yesterday."

Shen Wei was stunned and thought she had heard it wrong.

Zhang Miaoyu sighed and told Shen Wei everything that had happened during her illness.

The Xie and Wu families fell out completely. The emperor issued an imperial decree, requiring Xie Ji and Wu to divorce, and the Xie family must return Wu's huge dowry. Xie Ji entered the palace and met with Wu, and the two signed a divorce agreement in front of the empress dowager.

Aunt Zhao had been executed long ago, and Xie Ji was in great pain, blaming all the crimes on Wu. When signing the divorce agreement, Xie Ji ridiculed Wu to her face for having done dirty things with the lowly servants, and called Wu shameless.

Wu was already seriously ill, and Xie Ji's ridicule caused her to vomit black blood and she died that night. When Wu died, her brother Wu Ming went mad and drew his sword to kill Xie Ji. After being stopped, Wu Ming revealed the evidence of the Xie family's crimes of selling official positions, bullying the people, and accepting bribes for many years.

The emperor was furious and imprisoned all the Xie family members involved in the case. The enemies that the Xie family had offended before united to attack the Xie family. The Xie family was attacked from all sides and suffered miserably.

The elders of the Xie family put pressure on Xie Ji, and Xie Ji had not slept all night, so he had to go to the palace to plead guilty. Unexpectedly, he met Lanpin on the palace road. Lanpin had experienced the pain of losing her mother, and she drew her knife like crazy and wanted to stab Xie Ji to death, but was killed by Xie Ji with one knife.
