This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 45: The Emperor is your ancestor?

When Wen Shichu saw that there was nothing for him to do, he took his medicine box back to the Imperial Hospital to write a prescription and boil some medicine.

Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan sat on the couch and looked at each other. Both of them were silent and did not speak.

The faint light of the candle flickered in Hua Fei's cold eyes.

Jixiang has cleaned up the broken pillow and replaced it with a new one.

"It was the Queen." Concubine Duan spoke first. "That pillow was given to me by Yixiu after you made me drink the safflower. She was already a concubine at that time."

When Concubine Hua heard the word "red flower", she could only remain silent.

"Yixiu saw that I couldn't sleep every night, so she gave me this pillow to help me sleep well." Concubine Duan took a breath and continued.

Both of them seemed to be pulled back to the time they spent in the palace.

At that time, the two had just broken up and were as hostile as fire and water.

One lost his child, the other lost the right to have a child.

It was a period of anxious and painful years. At that time, they regarded each other as thorns in the eyes and bones in the flesh. Thinking about it now, they were just tools for others to profit from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.

Concubine Hua smiled bitterly. After she was reborn, she always thought that she and Concubine Duan had been at odds with each other for many years, and that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were the instigators. Unexpectedly, Ulanara Yixiu also secretly added a lot of fuel to the fire.

Although a bowl of safflower prevented Concubine Duan from getting pregnant, it did not cause her to be bedridden for many years. Now that she thought about it, the imperial physician who treated Concubine Duan was Zhang Mi from the Imperial Hospital. He could not have been unaware of the cause of Concubine Duan's illness. In addition, she had previously withheld Concubine Duan's food and did not allow the imperial physician to visit her often. She did not know the reason until her death in her previous life.

Queen, how many hidden arrows are you hiding?

"Ulanala Yixiu attached great importance to her position as a concubine. At that time, it was very likely that the prince would ascend the throne as emperor. I believe that at that time, she must have been on guard against me."

"You and I both come from military families. If we enter the palace, we will both be concubines that the emperor values ​​very much. Naturally, we will be potential threats to her as the queen." Concubine Hua continued with Concubine Duan's words.

Hua Fei had been fighting with the Queen for many years. Originally, Hua Fei was just jealous of the Queen and never thought about competing for the position of Queen. But now the Bauhinia pillow made her understand how much Ulanara Yixiu cared about her position as Queen.

"Now, she has made up her mind." Ever since Concubine Hua came to her to apologize, Concubine Duan has been unwilling to believe that the emperor she loved so much was killing two birds with one stone in the palace and was also on guard against her.

Now that evidence of the Queen's conspiracy against her has come to light, Concubine Duan simply blames the Queen for all the pain, torture, and grievances she has endured over the years.

Hua Fei was of course unaware of such thoughts, but she had already vaguely sensed that Duan Fei was unwilling to admit that the Emperor had deprived her of the right to become pregnant.

After all, Concubine Duan had not experienced the pain of having her entire family wiped out, nor could she understand the despair of knowing before she died that the man she deeply loved had been guarding against her for many years.

You know, a person who pretends to be asleep can never be woken up.

Concubine Duan must be made to know and feel for herself the emperor's cold-heartedness.

Wei Lin brought the medicine quickly, and Jixiang took it down to boil the medicine and served it to Concubine Duan to drink.

Concubine Hua gave Jixiang a few instructions, telling him to knock on the door of Yikun Palace if he had any problems. Then she took Zhou Ninghai and Songzhi away.

After leaving Yanqing Palace and on the way back to Yikun Palace, snowflakes started falling from the sky again. After all, Concubine Hua drank a few too many glasses at the banquet, and she had just been concentrating on dealing with the poisoning of Concubine Duan. Now that she had relaxed, she felt a little headache.

After returning to Yikun Palace, Songzhi helped Concubine Hua to sleep. Before going to bed, Concubine Hua reminded Songzhi to prepare red envelopes for the servants in Yikun Palace on the first day of the new year. She would reward them well tomorrow morning to start the new year with good luck.

Songzhi listened to Concubine Hua's chatter, and took off her shoes while saying, "Don't worry, young lady. I have prepared the red envelopes long ago. According to your instructions, every maid and eunuch in Yikun Palace has been given double the monthly allowance according to their rank."

Songzhi was very happy thinking about her thick red envelope.

If there is only one thing in this world that can make people happy, it must be money.

"That's good. You have all worked hard this year. I will have to trouble you again next year." Concubine Hua fell asleep mumbling, with the second half of the sentence still in her mind.

"In the last life, you all suffered after following me. In this life, I will make it up to you."

In the previous life, after Concubine Hua was sentenced to death, the servants in Yikun Palace were assigned different tasks. They must have suffered a lot after leaving Yikun Palace.

Songzhi didn't hear what Concubine Hua said in her heart, but when she heard Concubine Hua say that you have worked hard, her heart softened.

Only Songzhi could see the change in the young lady. Although the empress was generous in previous years, she was also clear about rewards and punishments. She rewarded a lot and punished severely, which made it inevitable for the servants to feel resentful.

But the young lady now truly cares about these slaves and servants in her heart.

Songzhi tucked in the corner of the quilt for Concubine Hua and went to take a nap on the small couch next to her, which was the one Concubine Hua had arranged for the palace maid who was on night watch.

While working in Yikun Palace, I receive more and more humane care.

-------------------------------------

In the second year of Yongzheng's reign, on New Year's Day, everything was new.

Concubine Hua got up early in the morning and asked Songzhi to comb her hair into a gorgeous bun. Then she took the five-colored gemstone and gold hairpin awarded by the Empress Dowager and went to Jingren Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Emperor and the Empress.

Unexpectedly, when I entered Jingren Palace, I only saw the Queen's gloomy face.

Concubine Hua looked at the Queen's expression, bowed and took a seat.

"Even Concubine Hua knew to come to Jingren Palace on time to pay respects to the Queen today. The other women in the palace are really losing their sense of propriety." Concubine Qi took the lead again.

"Sister Qi Fei is wrong. I have already agreed to marry her. She has a title bestowed by the Emperor himself, so she is different from us."

Concubine Hua heard something from Concubine Qi and Concubine Xin's conversation. It seemed that the Emperor did not stay in the Queen's palace yesterday.

According to ancestral rules, the emperor should sleep with the empress on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, as well as New Year's Eve.

"Your Majesty, Yu has disregarded the ancestral rules and actually seduced the Emperor on her thirties. Your Majesty will have to severely punish Yu later." Concubine Qi said sincerely to the Queen.

"The palace rules were set by our ancestors. Our ancestors are the emperor, and the emperor is the king. Even the queen cannot go against the emperor's wishes. This is what the queen said before. Sister Qi Fei, aren't you putting the queen on the spot by saying this?"

When Concubine Hua thought of the bauhinia pillow she found in Yanqing Palace last night, she became angry and was not very polite to the Queen on the first day of the New Year.

Although Hua Fei still doesn't know why Yu was the one favored last night, she will not miss any opportunity to make trouble for the Queen.

When Xin Changzai heard this, she couldn't figure it out. She thought to herself, could it be that the Queen meant: The Emperor is your ancestor?
