Chapter 4 Shelter

"Poisonous woman! It really is a poisonous woman!" After hearing this, Wei Xiangwan immediately jumped up, causing the teacups on the table to jump, "I'm going to tell the emperor!"

"It's absolutely impossible!" Su Mingyue and Concubine Ning, the head of Yanqing Palace, pushed her back into the chair together.

Concubine Ning said: "She is a favorite concubine and she is pregnant with a dragon heir, so what if this matter is reported to the emperor? Sister Su is in good health now, Concubine Hui will at most suffer a few complaints, and finally let it go."

"It's not entirely due to the elder sister's ruthlessness. I heard that her mother and my mother also had a rift with each other. The wives and concubines fought, and even killed people. Both sides suffered." After speaking, we shed tears again.

"What does that have to do with you? You are innocent!" Wei Xiangwan was filled with righteous indignation.

Concubine Ning said: "It would be great if the empress was here, she will definitely make a proper decision on this matter."

Wei Xiangwan rolled his eyes, "It would be nice if the queen on your left was here, and the queen on the right would be here. My ears are getting calloused. It seems that the queen is no longer alive."

Concubine Ning hurriedly covered her mouth, and spat: "Bah, bah, don't say such unlucky words!"

Su Mingyue wiped away her tears: "Although I have never seen Queen Fengyi, if she is here, at least I can overwhelm Concubine Hui and not let her poison me like this."

Wei Xiangwan's handkerchief has already been given to Su Mingyue, and now he has to help her wipe her tears, "My good sister, stop crying, it breaks my heart. Don't be afraid, Yanqing Palace will definitely protect you Zhou Quan, I can't go to the emperor to sue right now, when Concubine Hui makes a mistake someday, I'll hold my sister's hand, and we'll go sue together!"

Concubine Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Sit down for me. I don't think you can wait. As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, and the emperor has not yet come to court, you are going to file a complaint. Chen Jieyu screwed Cao Ronghua, and you are going to the imperial court. Sue, Meiren Xu pushed Concubine Zhuang, you have to go to the imperial court to sue, Song Zhaorong trampled to death your cricket, you have to go to the imperial court to sue, this time you go to sue, the emperor guarantees that you will hide when you see it."

Wei Xiangwan was so angry that he rolled his eyes and shook Concubine Ning's arm, "Sister, you are making fun of me!"

"It's not just me making fun of you, the Empress is the one who loves making fun of you the most."

Wei Xiangwan sighed quietly, "How long has it been since the empress went to Qixia Temple to recuperate? She went there around the Qingming Festival last year, has it been more than a year?"

"One year, one month and three days, I count the days."

Wei Xiangwan pulled Concubine Ning to the imperial concubine's couch, led her to lie down halfway, then knelt in front of the couch, threw her upper body over, and put her arms around Concubine Ning's waist, "When my sister misses the empress, I also think, even though I entered Gong Wan, I have only met the Empress a few times, but she is so kind to me. That time she was unwell, and she was lying on the couch reading a book like this. I went to apologize, hugged her and cried, and she patted my back with her hands , I feel so warm and comfortable." As she spoke, she pulled Concubine Ning's hand again, "Sister, pat me."

Seeing her child's temperament, Concubine Ning couldn't help laughing or crying, but she couldn't help but listen to her, and started clapping lightly and rhythmically.After taking pictures for a while, she remembered that there was another Su Mingyue in the room, she raised her head and said, "Sister, is it okay for me to call you Mingyue from now on?"

"My sister loves me."

"Sister, go down and rest first. You must be in a panic today, full of panic and fear. I will ask Xiuya to take you to the side hall to sleep, and then bring some food and pastries to satisfy my sister's hunger."

"I've eaten a lot just now, so I'm full."

"No trouble, my sister doesn't have to be polite about these things. Right now, Yanqing Palace can protect you well, so don't go out to show your face for now. Concubine Hui is domineering, Concubine Shu is hiding from the world, and the empress is recuperating outside the palace. We need to discuss this matter in the long run. "After that, call the court lady Xiuya, let her take Su Mingyue to rest in the side hall, and tell all the court ladies and eunuchs in Yanqing Palace who know about it to keep their mouths shut, and make sure not to leak the news, so that the master of Changle Palace knows what he wants to do. The poisoned people hid here.Otherwise, if Su Mingyue's life is not guaranteed, the Yanqing Palace may also cause disaster.

On the second day, Su Mingyue finished her grooming, changed into a maid's clothes, and followed the other court ladies and eunuchs to get busy inside and out.Although she was the third young lady in the Su Mansion, as a concubine, her mother died young, so no one would pay attention to her. The new wife was already grateful for not coming to humiliate her, so how could she ask for care.The maid Hongling is still young, so she can't talk about serving, but the two of them are young companions, so they won't be lonely and boring in the deep house.The boudoir should be cleaned and tidied up, and the sewing and mending must be done by yourself, so that you can barely make ends meet.

So when she was busy going in and out, she didn't take it seriously, but Concubine Ning behind her couldn't stand it.

"Sister Mingyue, let the servants do the hard work. I see that although you scrub and wash and serve tea and water, you have an exquisite figure and extraordinary bearing in every gesture. Live forever."

While scrubbing the coffee table, Su Mingyue said, "Sister, don't say that. The beauties who have overwhelmed the country since ancient times have left behind the infamy of subjugation, and they can't be regarded as immortal. A Mingjun must marry a virtuous woman, and the prosperity of Kaiyuan can be Zepi Children and grandchildren."

"What my sister said is, how can Israel serve the king for a long time?"

"The person who said that, has never seen what is called "closed moon, shameful flower, sinking fish and wild goose", such a beauty, how can you refuse?" Wei Xiangwan said as he came over, and raised Su Mingyue's chin with his index finger, making a foolish gesture. Looking at the appearance of the child, "Such a beauty, don't say that the emperor must be tempted, even I can't help but want to touch two."

Su Mingyue broke away with a smile, and wanted to use the dirty water in the wooden bucket to splash her beautiful new clothes. Concubine Ning stepped back to avoid being affected. When the three of them were making a fuss, the little maid Lingxi rushed in Said: "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good, Concubine Hui is here to kill."

"What did she find out?" Concubine Ning ordered Lingxi to take Su Mingyue down and settle her down properly, then pulled Wei Xiangwan to sit down in front of the desk, spread out the paper, and pretended to be copying a copybook.

"Could it be that someone in Yanqing Palace leaked the news?" Wei Xiangwan looked flustered.

"Not necessarily, play by ear." Concubine Ning helped her hold the pen, and with a sweep of her eyebrows, asked her to look down at the writing, while she leaned behind Wei Xiangwan and helped her get into a writing posture.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from outside, Concubine Ning stood up calmly, and gave a little peer salute to Concubine Hui who rushed over aggressively.

Wei Xiangwan put down his pen, walked around to a few cases, and wished concubine Hui a blessing.

"Good day, Concubine Hui, what kind of wind brought my sister to our Yanqing Palace." Concubine Ning asked generously.

Concubine Hui looked around and saw that the buckets she had just scrubbed were still placed on the ground in the corner of the wall, and the water stains on the blue brick floor were still wet, "It's nothing, let's take a look. Someone said yesterday that they saw Chang'e from the Guanghan Palace falling on your back. It's Qing Palace, I'm here to see something strange."

Concubine Ning knew that she might not be able to hide this matter, no wonder, Su Mingyue was beautiful and beautiful, how could the maids and eunuchs below not talk about this new girl?Especially as the younger sister of Concubine Hui, it is inevitable to compare the two people's appearances, two peonies, Su Mingyue is like a shy and elegant silver moon in the sky, while Su Jingxian is a scarlet and flamboyant bloody Chaoyang.Her name is Jingxian, but she is neither quiet nor virtuous, she is a master who loves to make waves and make waves.

"Chang'e?" Concubine Ning was surprised, "Where is Chang'e, I want to see it too."

"I heard that Chang'e was welcomed by Wei Changzai to Yanqing Palace, why not ask Wei Changzai if this happened?" Concubine Hui turned her attention to the young Wei Xiangwan.

After all, Wei Xiangwan was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he couldn't hold his breath, his face was already flustered, and he just bit his tongue, "Where did Chang'e come from, I didn't see it, I didn't see anything."

"Chang'e is a fairy, and it should be invisible to ordinary people. I have a alchemist here who can subdue demons and eliminate demons. It must be appropriate to let him take a look. It's really Chang'e. I'm afraid that some demons, ghosts, ghosts and unclean things will enter the world." It’s okay to destroy Yanqing Palace and hurt the two younger sisters. Come on, hurry up and help Concubine Ning find it!” Concubine Hui’s sleeves flew away, and a few palace maids and eunuchs pounced on her. What kind of alchemist, she has to search for an alchemist before she has time to find one.

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Ning stopped the maid and eunuch, and shouted: "Su Jingxian, I respect you as a sister, do you treat me as a younger sister? How dare you let your servants come to search my Yanqing Palace?"

"Sister, you have to know what's good or bad!" Concubine Hui glanced at her, how could Concubine Ning's frail body stop the hunting team like a wolf like a tiger.

This search is not just two or three people inspecting the room in Qingfangju, but a search from the bottom of the box and cabinet. Outside the door, the maids and eunuchs are guarding the gates of all buildings and courtyards of Yanqing Palace. Even the colorful phoenix cannot fly. up.Su Mingyue, who was hiding in the closet, was brought out after a while, and the court ladies and eunuchs Qiba grabbed her tightly with both hands and pressed her to the ground.

"Concubine Ning, may I ask who is this?" She knew it herself, so she wanted to ask Concubine Ning instead.

Concubine Ning knew that it would be impossible to hold on any longer, so she had no choice but to give in, and persuaded her, "There is a saying that cooking beans burns Osmunda, and the beans weep in the cauldron. They grow from the same root, so why is it too urgent to fry them together? This Su Mingyue The girl has already confessed that she is the younger sister of Concubine Hui. If there is any quarrel between you sisters, you should sit down and talk to each other. Why do you make such a fuss? If you sisters serve together in front of the imperial court, you should follow the example of Ehuang Nvying back then. It can be regarded as a good story in my court, isn't it wonderful?"

"Concubine Ning, you don't know about our Su family's housework, and our Su family doesn't need an outsider to tell us what to do." Concubine Ning flicked her sleeves, "Hurry up and take people down, so as not to dirty Concubine Ning's mother. Qing Palace."

"Wait!" Concubine Ning stood in front of her, and the maids and eunuchs didn't dare to push her, they just waited for Concubine Hui's order. Wei Xiangwan was afraid that Concubine Ning would suffer, so she rushed forward and stood in front of Concubine Ning again, "You guys What do you want? Hugh is rude!"

Concubine Ning still tried to persuade her softly, "Sister, we are all one family when we enter the palace, so why are you called the Su family? Isn't the whole world belonged to the emperor? This is to spread the word and let the emperor know. not good."

Concubine Hui sneered, "Are you threatening me with the emperor?"

"Don't dare, the emperor's ten thousand gold body, I can carry it out to threaten you. It's just that the emperor and queen only hope that the six palaces will be harmonious, and sisters will love each other. We don't want to live up to these expectations."

Concubine Hui stared at Concubine Ning, their noses were pointing to each other, and they could see the depths of each other's eyes. The sun was shining brightly in spring, Concubine Hui came all the way, her pretty nose was sweating, and Concubine Ning spoke softly. Soft words, I also know how tough Concubine Hui is usually, but in this head-to-head confrontation, the clean bridge of the nose and the corners of the forehead are covered with cold sweat.

Concubine Hui laughed again, "Sister?" She turned her head to look at Su Mingyue who was pinned to the ground and couldn't lift her head up, "I don't know what kind of nonsense this little bitch made up to fool you. It's my sister. Yesterday I saw that this little palace girl was very clever, and I specially asked her to come here from the Supervisor of Rituals. I loved her like my own sister, but who knew that she stole my jewels on the first day of her errand. Packed up the bed and fled, I didn't come to get a little thief, why did Concubine Ning stop it?"

Hearing this, Su Mingyue struggled on the ground. Didn't this bloody spouting nonsense talker want to kill her indiscriminately?

"There are thieves in the palace. The empress ordered me to assist the sixth palace. It is my duty to guard against day and night. It is difficult to guard against house thieves. I heard that it is not the first time that this little palace lady has stolen things. There must be many accomplices. I stole the things I bought and sold them outside, and filled my own pockets in exchange for silver. Dang, I can spare her life, if I don’t, it won’t be a pity to kill her.”

This is about to make a killer move. The court ladies and eunuchs forcibly grab someone, and Concubine Ning and Wei Xiangwan can stop them wherever they want.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and help, Xiuya, Lingxi, Huang Changlin, come quickly!" Wei Xiangwan yelled, and the maids and eunuchs of Yanqing Palace also joined in the melee, and the two groups of people wrestled together.After all, Changle Palace has a lot of people, while Yanqing Palace people are weak, and most of them are women, so the winner will be decided in a short while.

Seeing a few strong eunuchs push Su Mingyue out and push him down on the stone brick floor outside Zhaoyang Hall, all the sticks were picked up. If these sticks were to go down, Su Mingyue might die instantly. .

"Su Jingxian, you don't discriminate between right and wrong, and you just beat your sister to death, be careful of retribution!" Wei Xiangwan was not reconciled, and yelled.

Su Mingyue didn't faint from fright, at this moment she just resigned to her fate. When Su Jingxian's mother was dragged up the stairs of the East Wing and force-fed poison, she was probably frightened and angry.But she is different, in the Su family, she feels aggrieved and helpless, and probably a little world-weary. Her father is well-educated and suave, but ruthless and indifferent. When she sees one and loves the other, she has already seen through the marriage, has no expectations, and spends her free time. Read some poems and songs about talented men and beautiful women to relieve boredom. If this is the case in life, there is nothing to miss, that’s all, it’s okay to die.

"Hey, I haven't come here for a few days. The Yanqing Palace is so lively. Why did Concubine Hui come here to make trouble?" A voice from outside said loudly, accompanied by the snorting of the horse's nose, ticking of the horse's hooves, and the whip wrapped in his hand. There is a tense and bouncing sound of playing.
