Chapter 126 Moving the Palace
Chapter 126 Moving the Palace
After hearing this, Zhen Huan nodded and said, "She understands what Cui Jinxi means. People like Huanbi must be under her control. Cui Jinxi doesn't know the actual relationship between Huanbi and Zhen Huan," and she is just worried that Zhen Huan will lose a helper.
"Zhen Huan knows that Huanbi must not be released. If she is released and is bribed, and her background is revealed, it will be a disaster for the Zhen family."
"What if Huanbi and I get sick at the same time?"
Cui Jinxi was slightly stunned. Maybe people wouldn't think it was strange if you were the only one sick, young lady," if you and He Guannu got sick together.
The Emperor dotes on the young lady so much, he might ask a doctor other than Doctor Wen to see her. Then...
This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. "Even though Zhen Huan was calm and composed, she also felt a little irritated. The conversation between the master and servant in the Sui Yu Pavilion did not continue."
"Just three days later, Zhen Huan fell ill under Wen Shichu's diagnosis. When the emperor got the news, he was reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace."
"After hearing Su Peisheng's report, he frowned. Why did he fall ill out of nowhere?"
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wen is outside. I don't know anything about medical skills!" Why not let him come in and explain it to Your Majesty in detail?
The emperor was about to nod, but after a moment, he paused. Why didn't this matter be reported to the queen, but came to me instead?
"Your Majesty, I have asked, and the people around Concubine Wan have reported to the Queen. Concubine Wan is worried that Your Majesty will be anxious when he knows the reason." Then he asked someone to follow Doctor Wen to report to the Emperor.
"The emperor's expression eased a little. In that case, come in. Su Peisheng responded and stepped back for a moment before leading Doctor Wen and Cui Jinxi in."
The servant/minor official pays respects to His Majesty, and wishes His Majesty the best of health! The two of them knelt down one after the other to pay their respects to the Emperor. The Emperor waved his hand, raised his hand to avoid the formality, and asked, "What's wrong with Lady Wan's health?"
Wen Shichu knew that he was being asked about this, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the weather has been getting colder recently, and Concubine Wan's health has not been very good. Your Majesty knows that Concubine Wan had an epidemic disease when she first entered the palace."
The cold weather caused the evil wind to enter the body, which triggered the seasonal disease! So I fell ill again.
"Is your illness serious?" In reply to the emperor, the young lady has been taking care of herself regularly since entering the palace, so there won't be any major problems.
But this disease is not an ordinary disease, and there may be a risk of infection...
When Wen Shichu said this, Cui Jinxi took a step forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, my young mistress has something to say to you..."
"explain"!
"The young lady knows that she has contracted a seasonal disease and is worried that" it will affect Concubine Chun and the He official's daughter who live with her in Suiyuxuan, so she specifically asked me to ask the emperor what he thinks?
"Can you move Concubine Chun out of Suiyuxuan? Since it affects two people, why only move Concubine Chun out? The emperor is not my young mistress, so he must keep the official girl."
"It was the official lady who said that she had been serving my young master since she was a child. Now that my young master is sick, she doesn't want to abandon her son and move out of Suiyuxuan."
My young mistress tried to persuade Gu for a long time: "No one in the official's house wants to move out! That's why I petitioned the emperor to temporarily move Concubine Chun out of Suiyuxuan."
This is what Zhen Huan and her partner came up with, which was to fulfill He Guannu's wish! "It's a risky and ingenious plan. I'll pretend to be sick again and convince Huanbi to stay with me."
Thinking of moving Chun Changzai out first, he asked Cui Jinxi to go to the Yangxin Palace to explain to the emperor that Huanbi stayed voluntarily.
In this way, the emperor would also be rewarded for his old master's kindness. "But the two of them didn't expect that this reward would allow Huanbi to get rid of her status as a court lady?"
"It can be considered an unexpected surprise. I can't take care of anything else for the time being." The emperor just hoped for harmony in the harem. After hearing this, he nodded, "The He official's daughter is a person who values friendship."
"Since she has made such a request, I cannot but fulfill it. Su Peisheng will convey my order. He Shi will be promoted to the rank of Crown Princess He. You will go to Jingren Palace to let the Queen arrange the palace for Concubine Chun."
"Su Peisheng responded, and the three of them left the Yangxin Palace one after another. After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Cui Jinxi and the other looked at each other and hid the smiles on their faces."
One of them returned to Suiyuxuan and the other returned to the Imperial Hospital.
Inside Jingren Palace
"Yi Xiu looked at Su Peisheng in front of her, with a rare look of dissatisfaction. Didn't Cui Jinxi mention that Concubine Chun was going to move to another palace in Jingren Palace? How come there are so many things going on after a trip to Yangxin Palace?"
Yixiu squeezed her hands hidden in her sleeves, and then she regained her carefree demeanor. "I know about this matter. Does the emperor have any other instructions?"
"Empress, the Emperor said that the daughter of the official He is loyal and righteous, and she deserves a reward, and is promoted to the rank of concubine." Su Peisheng's words once again made Yixiu hold back her anger, and after a while she said: Okay, I understand.
"Yes. If the Queen has no other instructions, I will take my leave." After Su Peisheng left, Jianqiu saw Yixiu's face quickly darken.
"She stood aside and dared not speak. She seemed to be well behaved, but I was wrong. She actually allowed me to do such a thing under my nose!"
Jianqiu was stunned after hearing this, and knelt down and said, "Her Majesty, Lady Wan just moved Concubine Chun out of Suiyuxuan. Did she discover something?"
"Discovered", what's the use of discovering it? She must have discovered something now, but she didn't dare to say it, so she was so humble.
"My lady, it must be Wen Shichu who did something wrong." What did Wan Guiren find out? Did he say it? Jianqiu thought carefully for a moment and said...
Yixiu sneered and said that the Imperial Hospital has a big mouth, and now there are some people who stand out. I guess Zhang Mi doesn’t want to see it.
A hint of smile flashed across Jianqiu's brows, "My Queen, I understand."
"Both Xianpin's Yonghe Palace and Shupin's Yanxi Palace are empty palaces. Although the harem is large, it is not easy to open more palaces. Why not let Chun Changzai live in Yonghe Palace?"
After hearing this, Jianqiu paused, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has chosen Concubine Xian's baby. If by some chance..." If they investigate, wouldn't it be...
"Yi Xiu was silent for a while after hearing this. Wan Guiren and Shupin were not on good terms. Even if she had some guesses, she would not dare to reveal them to others."
"Chun Changzai is very lively. Why not let Chun Changzai go to the Yanxi Palace, so she can spend more time with the Sixth Prince and have fun."
Jianqiu responded and went out to Suiyuxuan to convey the Queen's order. Jianqiu acted extremely quickly on what was decided.
After a short while, she stood in front of Concubine Chun. After explaining Yixiu's intention, Jianqiu said again, "My lady, the Empress is considerate of you and can't bear to see you get hurt in Suiyuxuan."
The young lady does not need to worry, just move to the Yanxi Palace by yourself. Chun Changzai nodded and asked the maid beside her to send Jianqiu out.
After sitting for a while, he stood up and helped Yu'er to stand up, and walked towards the main hall of Suiyuxuan. Xiao Yunzi was guarding the door, and when he saw Chun Changzai, he hurried forward and wanted to pay his respects.
"Good luck to the young lady!" Chun Changzai also looked lively and cheerful. She threw her handkerchief and said, "Xiao Yunzi, I want to see my sister. Go and tell her."
"Xiao Yunzi looked a little embarrassed, but thinking of Zhen Huan's instructions, she finally nodded. Please wait for a moment, my lady. I will pass the message on."
She turned around and lifted the thick door curtain behind her, explaining the purpose of Concubine Chun's visit. Zhen Huan and Cui Jinxi looked at each other.
"The two of them nodded and asked her to come in!" Let's meet for the last time in Shuiyuxuan!
Xiao Yunzi got the order and turned to go down. A moment later, "Chun Changzai ran in with tears on her face. Sister Wan, the Queen asked me to move out of the Yanxi Palace, and I don't want to leave you."
Zhen Huan saw the red musk beads hanging around Chun Chang's neck and subconsciously held a handkerchief in front of her nose, "Chun Er, don't come close. Don't let me pass my illness to you. It will be more trouble than it's worth."
"When Chun Chang heard this, he stopped moving forward. But after a moment, he seemed to realize that his action was inappropriate."
With a somewhat forced smile, she said again, "Sister, it's just a temporary illness. It's not like I haven't had it before. How can it be necessary for me to move out?"
"This time, the disease is extraordinary. It is not a long-term plan for you to stay in Suiyuxuan. And you cannot see the emperor because of the disease. If you cause your sister to not be able to see the emperor, it will not be worth it."
Even if it's for your own good, you should move out early! Zhen Huan spoke sincerely, as if she was considering everything for Concubine Chun.
"After hearing this, Chun Changzai's eyes quickly filled with tears. Sister Wan, I......"
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she couldn't form a sentence. She paused for a moment and then said, "Thank you, sister." "Well, you're crying like a little cat. Yu'er, quickly wipe your little master's tears and go back to clean up early."
Chun Changzai responded and withdrew, and Cui Jinxi sent her back to the side hall.
"The young lady sent Concubine Chun back. Zhen Huan nodded. Jingxi, you said that I knew there was something wrong with the beads, but I didn't mention it to her. Isn't that too heartless?"
She had lived in Suiyuxuan for so long. Cui Jinxi knew what Zhen Huan meant. She was soft-hearted! She took two steps forward and whispered in Zhen Huan's ear: My lady, it is not clear whether Concubine Chun knows about the problem of the beads.
If we speak out this matter rashly, we will be asking for trouble. I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not? The young lady should take care of herself now, not Concubine Chun.
If "this sisterly love affects the young lady's health, she will only regret it in the future!" Cui Jinxi's words make sense, leaving Zhen Huan with no way to refute?
"Forget it, you are right, this harem is like a den of dragons and tigers, we can only help others if we take care of ourselves. Go to the storehouse and find something to send to Huanbi."
Don't let her feel that there is no benefit and she is still wasting time with us in Shuiyuxuan.
Cui Jinxi bent her knees and said, "My lady, please take a rest. I will be back soon."
A play of deep sisterly love was being performed in Suiyuxuan. In Yanxi Palace, "An Lingrong looked at Jianqiu with a smile on her face and wanted to slap her."
But think about it, the Queen has deep roots and if there is a conflict with her, even if the Sixth Prince is there, the Queen Mother will not stand on his side.
"Forcing herself to suppress the anger in her heart, An Lingrong cursed a few words in her heart, and then said, "I understand."
If you don't have any instructions, I won't let you talk. "An Lingrong's tone was normal. Jianqiu bent her knees and said, "Yes, the Queen is waiting for your reply. I'll take my leave now!"
"After Jianqiu left, An Lingrong sat there without saying a word! Losing her temper and throwing things is not something she can do. She should think about how to deal with it next!"
Qiufang came back after sending Jianqiu out, and walked a few steps to An Lingrong, "Madam, I'm afraid that Chun Changzai has no good intentions in moving in from now on?"
"Of course I know about this. It is very common for only one maid to live in the palace of a mistress! If we turn against the queen now, we will be seeking death."
"Your Majesty is right, it's just that others are always doing this, but not others," Qiufang's voice revealed a rare ruthlessness, which made An Lingrong look sideways.
The other party's thoughts matched his own, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "An Lingrong nodded. Yes, I never attack others!"
Everyone in the palace thinks that I am a kind person. Well, just send it in. "It's easy to send it in, but I don't know if it can be sent out safely."
An Lingrong's voice was cold, but it sounded a bit chilly, "Go and clean up the West Side Hall. We can't let the Queen catch us."
Qiufang nodded and stepped back.
"Chun Changzai seemed to want to stay in Suiyuxuan for a long time. After receiving the notice from Jianqiu, she packed up and led her people out of Suiyuxuan within two hours."
This time she left without telling Zhen Huan and led people along the palace road to the gate of Yanx Palace. The Queen Mother looked at the gate of Yanx Palace.
"Chun Changzai said with a smile: I will live in Yanxi Palace from now on, Yu'er, do you think this place is bigger than Suiyuxuan?"
"Chun Changzai has always looked innocent, so she can say this." Yu'er didn't find it strange, but the eunuch guarding the door lowered his head, with a strange smile flashing across his face."
"My lady is right. Yanxi Palace is one of the six eastern and western palaces. It is not comparable to a small Suiyuxuan."
"As soon as Yu'er finished speaking, the eunuch guarding the door stepped forward and bowed, saying: "I pay my respects to Changzai Chun, may you be blessed!"
My queen knew that the concubine was going to move to Yanxi Palace, so she asked me to wait at the palace gate early. The west side hall has been cleaned up, and the concubine is coming with me.
Chun Changzai replied with a smile: Sister Shupin is too polite, thank you very much, eunuch.
"She called me Sister Shupin, and people who didn't know her would think that they had a very good relationship. A moment later, the group arrived at the entrance of the West Side Hall."
The young eunuch raised his hand and pointed, saying, "My lady, let's go to the west wing hall now, and you can do whatever you want." Chun Changzai nodded and said, "Eunuch, is Sister Shupin free now? I should pay my respects to her when I come out of the Yanx Palace."
The young eunuch had an apologetic smile on his face and replied that the young lady had just moved to the palace and had a lot of things to do. The queen had already said that there was no need to pay respects today.
There is a long way to go, and the day to talk later is still to come!
