After sitting for a while, she still felt that her chest was clogged up, so she changed into a set of clean clothes and went to the Jiaotai Palace s. In the side hall, Wang Rong He personally inserted the incense stick, then sat cross-legged on the prayer mat.
It was late in the night, and Wang Rong was still sitting there. palace maid was also not allowed to light the lamp, they just sat there in front of the Buddha. Zhu Yijun was depressed in his heart. When he came to Jiaotai Palace, he found out that the empress had come in the afternoon and had not come out.
Zhu Yijun dismissed the person and quietly entered, pulling over another praying mat beside Wang Rong and sat down. Wang Rong also turned around, "Your majesty?"
"Don't get up and greet him." Zhu Yijun said, "palace maid said that you have been in here for a long time. Isn't it cold? "
"Your Majesty, it's been three months." Wang Rong said helplessly.
"It's going to be cold in March. Zhu Yijun said, "We feel cold."
Wang Rong He looked at him and gently leaned against him. "Does Your Majesty feel heartache?"
"It hurts." Zhu Yijun said, "It's not that painful, but it's more out of anger. What kind of fools are those in my palace?"
Zhu Yijun frowned, he was not very happy, but Wang Rong He touched his brows, "His Majesty scolded me too?"
"Except you." Zhu Yijun said, he turned and looked at Wang Rong He, "You know, I have always trusted you."
"But I'm a fool." "I know that those who get pregnant in the harem avoid sending medicinal ingredients, but I think the way I send them in and out of the storehouse requires the imperial physician to inspect them. No one will try anything funny, and I don't want to mess with it myself, so I sent the medicinal ingredients to the Jingyang Palace confidently."
Those medicinal ingredients are very good. Even if it's deer antler and the Lingzhi is only ordinary stuff, that Hundred Years Old Ginseng is still me and there aren't many in the warehouse. But to give birth to a child is like having a ghost.
"I just don't need to remind you that these are all life-saving things, and this is how it happened." Wang Rong and Wang Yan said with a pale face, "I will not kill Born, but Born will die because of me." If I did not send the medicinal herbs to Imperial Lower Consort Lan, such a thing would not have happened. I am not an idiot, what is I talking about? "
"Do you know?" Zhu Yijun suddenly said, "Even if the imperial physician were to say in front of us that the Imperial Lower Consort Lan used the medicine given by the empress for a small profit, I believe that this matter has nothing to do with you."
"The reason why the Imperial Lower Consort Lan is a small child is because of her stupidity. The reason why the palace maid is so dull and the reason why the imperial physician and monk went to the imperial prison is because of you. This matter has nothing to do with you, and you still feel guilty for your magnanimity." Zhu Yijun held her shoulders and said, "This child is not fated to be with the imperial family.
"Perhaps the heavens wanted my first child to come out of the queen's womb." Zhu Yijun said in a relaxed manner. Maybe I still have the fortune to be the eldest son. "
Wang Rong forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, please don't give me any more pressure. I was so scared that I couldn't get any more Sunflower Dew."
"Isn't it a good thing that Sunflower Water didn't come? Isn't Sunflower Water pregnant? " Zhu Yijun was unable to understand the meaning behind Wang Rong's words.
Wang Rong couldn't help but laugh. "But if you don't come to Sunflower Dew before you become pregnant, then you'll never be able to bear it."
"Pei pei pei, children's words are always spoken." Zhu Yijun anxiously said.
Wang Rong smiled sincerely as she held Zhu Yijun's arm, "Your majesty seems to be my wet nurse."
"It looks like you've never been a child to worry about." Zhu Yijun said.
"Who said that? I'm extremely obedient. It's because everyone else is so shocked that I'm sensible." Wang Rong He said. I've never had a mother since I was a child. "
"My Zitong has suffered." Zhu Yijun touched her back and said.
"Your Majesty is going to suffer in the future." Wang Rong said, "Your majesty must be like a diligent old ox, meticulously pampered by the imperial harem as a second wife."
"You are the only one who dares to say that I have doted upon my second wife and suffered greatly." Zhu Yijun said, "You are just saying this in front of us, if others were to hear these words, your virtuous and virtuous title as the Bodhisattva Queen would not be hanging."
"Bodhisattva Queen? This is the first time I have heard of this name. Wang Rong He said, "Would it seem that His Majesty is too partial to me?"
"I didn't say that." Zhu Yijun said, "Today, when you dealt with the matter of the Imperial Lower Consort Lan's small fortune, Feng Dajie said it in front of us. The Empress is truly a kind person, and he praised us for choosing the Queen with good eyes."
"Your Majesty, don't say that I have a Bodhisattva's heart. Bodhisattva doesn't have happiness or anger, but I do." Wang Rong He said, "If Your Majesty forms the nature of my heart as a Bodhisattva, in the future, when I do something bad, Your Majesty will be even more unable to endure it and will be furious. You won't forgive me so easily."
"Alright." Zhu Yijun said. Zitong is just an ordinary kind-hearted person. "
The two quietly snuggled up to each other in front of the Buddha, "Your Majesty, you should also go look at Imperial Lower Consort Lan more. She has already lost her child. Wang Rong He suddenly thought.
"We do not wish to see Imperial Lower Consort Lan in the near future. There is no need to discuss this further." Zhu Yijun said.
"You, if you don't want This Emperor to think too kindly of you, then don't always do this sort of thing." Zhu Yijun said, "Imperial Lower Consort Lan framed you, aren't you angry?"
"That wasn't a false accusation, it was just a mouth without words due to her excessive agitation." Wang Rong He said, "After all, if it's someone else's fault, it's much better than your own."
"I don't wish for you to go through so much trouble just for her. She's not worth it." Zhu Yijun said, "This is probably what she thinks, what else do you want to do? That's why they're so convinced. "
"Your Majesty, the Empress and the concubine are the natural opposites. They will not completely trust me, just as I will not completely trust them." Wang Rong He said. I am kind to them, not because I trust them, but because they are men of His Majesty's court. "
"If Imperial Lower Consort Lan comes and pleads with you tomorrow, I'll do as you say and go see her. Otherwise, there won't be a next time." Zhu Yijun said. "Don't even think about reminding her that I will keep watch."
"Your majesty, be more magnanimous. Imperial Lower Consort Lan is just a little woman." Wang Rong He said.
"I want her to sincerely repent." Zhu Yijun said, "Otherwise, her magnanimity will not be enough to nurture an heir."
Chu Nü fed some medicine to the Imperial Lower Consort Lan and asked, "Does the Empress feel better today?"
Imperial Lower Consort Lan nodded her head weakly. Her body was already very good to begin with, otherwise, she wouldn't easily get pregnant. The reason why she was still lying on the bed was because the pain in her heart caused her to be unable to think of anything other than sleeping quietly.
"If the Empress can leave, she should apologize to empress today. The Empress could not speak under the pain yesterday, and said that the empress wanted to harm you. " "His Majesty didn't look too good when she left. His Majesty doesn't like the Empress slandering the empress."
The Imperial Lower Consort Lan closed her eyes, and only got up after a long while, "She is going."
Chu Maiden helped her get off the bed, and needed to change her clothes to go to the Kunning Palace to pay respects. It just so happened that Wang Zhixi just happened to have returned from the Kunning Palace to see the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, so she hurriedly said, "What does the Empress need to do to get up? A small delivery is like a month. You should be lying in bed right now. "
"I'll go and apologize to empress." Imperial Lower Consort Lan said, "Yesterday, when empress came, I was disrespectful."
"The Empress won't care about such small matters." Wang Zhixi advised, "Your little face is pale white. When she sees the Empress's face, she will still blame you for not putting more emphasis on your body and will go see her like this."
"Besides, you won't be able to see the empress if you go now." Wang Zhixi said, "The empress dowager has dismissed the empress dowager's greetings, and the empress has paid her respects. We went over there just now and only paid our respects at the Kunning Palace entrance before returning, saying that the empress is not feeling well."
Imperial Lower Consort Lan heard and sat on the chair, "Then, are you not going?"
"Wait until you've fully recovered before you go. The Empress will understand you." Wang Zhixi said, "empress is a magnanimous person."
"Since the Empress is a small child, she should be at ease and rest. It's a pity for the Little Prince, I heard that her hands and feet have all grown out." Wang Zhixi said as tears streamed down her face.
Imperial Lower Consort Lan sat on the make-up stool and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
"You can't blame the Empress." Wang Zhixi walked to her side and held her hand, saying, "Hundred years of being a ginseng is already rare, who would have thought that empress would be so generous and bestow it with a hundred years of age."
Imperial Lower Consort Lan was at a loss.
"In the dead of night, she asked Chu Nü who was sleeping on the bed." Is the empress giving me such a great tonic on purpose? "
"Maybe she just wanted to mend my child. How nice, without a trace, and everyone should praise her." The Imperial Lower Consort Lan muttered to himself.
"Empress." "empress's generosity should not be her fault. It's our fault, empress had said before that every time I use the medicinal ingredients, I have to ask the imperial physician, but this servant thinks that there's no problem when the medicinal ingredients are transferred into the warehouse, and that the people who receive it afterwards are all my own people, so I think there's no problem and will directly take them to the Shang Cui Foreman for treatment. If these servants had asked the imperial physician, I'm afraid that Little Prince would still be fine right now. "
Imperial Lower Consort Lan looked at the canopy as tears streamed down her cheeks. She loved her child so much that she was afraid of hurting him. The guilt would crush her. She wanted to die.
Imperial Lower Consort Lan did not go to the Kunning Palace to apologize to the empress.
Zhu Yijun heard and shook his head, "What are they? If it wasn't for the Queen who would definitely stop them, we would have even removed her position as a princess."
Wang Rong He also shook his head. Only the two of them knew about the agreement between the two of them, that it would take a whole day for Imperial Lower Consort Lan not to arrive at the Kunning Palace. The imperial physician said that the Imperial Lower Consort Lan was ready to go. Forget it, this is her luck. " Wang Rong said to herself, "It's just that my luck is really bad."
In the entire Jingyang Palace, no one knew that a pregnant woman could not make a large amount of nourishment. This was simply too scary, if it were all foolish people who did not know how to advise her, who served the empress of the imperial palace, then the consequences would simply be unimaginable.
Even the manager's aunt, Mu Xin, looked like she didn't know anything at all.
Although no one said it clearly, the loopholes in the harem's management didn't mean that they didn't exist.
Empress Dowager Li stayed in the palace for three days, called Wang Rong and her over, and gave her the remaining power of the palace. The empress was the master of the empress dowager's palace. This empress couldn't do everything in her place just because the empress was young, so this empress's thoughts were wrong. Now that the palace has been handed over to you, the empress will slowly learn to control the palace. If you have any undecided matters, just ask This Dowager. "
Of course, she couldn't take it happily the first time. Wang Rong She said, "Mother, I still have a lot of shortcomings, but I'll just have to help mother to control the palace. If I can't control the palace on my own, then I'll have to be strong."
"If there's anything you don't know, I'll watch from the side." Empress Dowager Li said, "You are the empress, so I should have handed over the power of the palace to you on the first day after the wedding."
"This son really doesn't know what to do." Wang Rong He once again refused.
"You also learned steward from your daughter, I haven't learned steward from my childhood, take your time." The Empress Dowager Li said, "This is your duty, I do not want to hear any more evasion from your mouth."
Wang Rong He could only agree.
But in the short term she made no movement.
In the evening, Wang Rong went to the Jingyang Palace to see Imperial Lower Consort Lan. In these seven days, besides lying on the bed, Imperial Lower Consort Lan was also lying on the bed. When she heard that the empress had come, she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
She knelt down and said to Wang Rong, "empress, Empress Imperial Lower Consort Lan always falls asleep suddenly these few days, and she doesn't wake up either. It's not that Imperial Lower Consort Lan wants to slow you down."
"Then don't wake her." She walked to the side of Imperial Lower Consort Lan's bed and said, "She also has a bitter heart."
Wang Rong looked at the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, "I had someone do some law matters for the Little Prince at the Qin'an Hall. Today, it's the seventh and the seventh. To secretly go and send him off is also a round of fate for both of you. "
"Perhaps you wouldn't believe me even if I told you, but I still have to say. In this palace, I'm afraid I don't want anything bad to happen to the child in your womb even more than you do."
"It was also my negligence. I saw my stepmother with my own eyes. It was precisely because of the great tonic that she was unable to give birth again after having her third sister. I should have thought of this sooner and reminded you earlier. "
Wang Rong sighed, "But since it has already happened, there is no point in immersing yourself in the sadness of the past. You have to pull yourself together early, you have a long life ahead of you, "
After Wang Rong He left, Imperial Lower Consort Lan opened her eyes and started crying, "Help me up, I want to go to Qin'an Hall."
"has never heard of anything like that happening in the palace. We have to go secretly."
Master Jing Yi had been waiting for them since a long time ago, and Imperial Lower Consort Lan had even brought a set of clothes for Little Prince, "Master, can you burn this for my son?"
Grand Concubine Jing clasped her hands together and took the small apron.
After Grandmaster Jing Yi recited the entire scripture, he placed the clothes inside the censer. Imperial Lower Consort Lan wept for a while, before burning the child's paper and adding the incense.
"Why is the Empress thanking me?" The Empress's gratitude lies with the empress. She is a truly benevolent and kind person, and the pain the Empress felt when her son was lost is also shared by her. " Grand Preceptor Xie put his hands together and took his leave.
Imperial Lower Consort Lan was supported back to the palace by Chu Lian. When Chu Mu heard him speak, she asked, "Empress, who is good to the Empress? Do you still not see clearly?"
"What do you mean?" Imperial Lower Consort Lan asked.
"Why does the Empress not trust the empress? Could it be that the empress has treated the Empress harshly in any way? " Chu Mu asked.
Imperial Lower Consort Lan thought about it carefully, "No, she didn't do anything harsh to me. It's just that on the first night of Chuxiu Palace, when I was living with Beauty Wang, she said a lot. "
"Why does the Empress trust the Beauty Wang so much?" "Does Beauty Wang have any benefits for the Empress?"
"No, but she didn't hurt me either." The Imperial Lower Consort Lan said, "At first, it was Chuxiu Palace, and the two of us supported each other through it."
"Empress, the favour of the Empress has nothing to do with Beauty Wang, but the Empress specially chose the Jingyang Palace for the sake of taking care of the Beauty Wang. However, the Beauty Wang did not help the Empress in any way after she went to bed. Even if it was the Empress who was a little prodigal, apart from saying a few words to make the Empress shed tears, she had done nothing else. It was full of hypocrisy, "the woman said." Does Empress still remember? The Empress was worried that her stomach was not big enough and wanted to make a big fuss out of it. She asked the servant, and the servant did not know, but the Empress went to ask the Beauty Wang, and the Beauty Wang said that if the Empress was worried, she could make up for it. There's no harm in eating a tonic. "
"But empress said that when her stepmother gave birth to the two daughters, it was precisely because of a large amount of nourishment that they were unable to give birth again, causing them to be unable to conceive again." But empress said that when her stepmother gave birth to the two daughters, it was because of a large amount of nourishment that they were unable to give birth again.
"If Beauty Wang had said a single extra word during that month, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
"But she comes to see the Empress every day to make clothes for Little Prince with a smile, but she doesn't say a word. Seeing how the Empress is getting more and more plump, she doesn't say a word." "If not for her, Empress would not have been so cautious against empress." He wouldn't be despised by His Majesty.
Imperial Lower Consort Lan shook her head, not wanting to admit it. The first night she slept with Wang Zhixi in the palace, they carried their anticipation and fear of the unknown and agreed that they would be good sisters for the rest of their lives.
Wang Zhixi would not harm her.
