Duan Li was immersed in the gentle countryside when he heard the noise outside the palace, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyebrows. He comforted the beauty in his arms, looked at Manager Cui who came in, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

Seeing Duan Li's displeasure, Manager Cui secretly complained that the people in Concubine Rou's palace had been coming early and late, so they came at this time. Wouldn't it embarrass him?

But even though he was in a difficult situation, Manager Cui still had the courage to say: "Ganquan Palace has invited an imperial doctor. Concubine Rou is unwell and has been thinking of Your Majesty."

After hearing Manager Cui's words, Duan Li stood up. Ling Wanying sat aside, pulling Duan Li's sleeves when he was about to leave, and asked timidly: "Will your Majesty come back?"

Seeing Ling Wanying's reluctance to leave, Duan Li was silent for a moment and nodded. Seeing the joy on her face, for some reason he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wait for me."

Ling Wanying nodded, and Yingying watched Duan Li leave with reluctant eyes. When the imperial driver left the Yilan Palace, her affectionate eyes immediately turned cold. She almost wanted her fellow palace mates to say that she wanted to take a bath, but she was worried about what she had done before. The drama was in vain, so he calmed down.

Qingsu looked at Ling Wanying who seemed very tired, and said distressedly: "Would you like Sister Qingye to do the massage for you?"

Ling Wanying nodded, leaving Su Jin Qingsu and Aunt Li behind, and asked the palace people to retreat.

After a while, Qingsu came out of the palace and went to the palace maid's residence. She didn't know what she told Mo Yao. Mei Xiang only saw Mo Yao coming out of the palace maid's room and disappeared after a while. She was a little strange, but she was accidentally Zhu shouted and went to tidy up Empress Lan Bin's study, but did not follow her. He just secretly remembered and planned to talk to Aunt Li.

Empress Lan Bin has a bright future here, but she can't let it be ruined by a lack of foresight.

Su Jin came to the place agreed with Shun'an Palace and saw the eldest palace maid beside Concubine Shu. Before she could speak, she heard the eldest palace maid saying impatiently: "Why are you here at this time and you are not in the inner hall?" Wait, can’t you leave Yilan Palace at any time?”

"Aunt Li is very strict. All entrances and exits to Yilan Palace must be registered with Xiao Quanzi. I just sneaked out while His Majesty has just left and Aunt Li and the palace attendants around Lan Bin are comforting her. Time is limited. We have to go back soon." Su Jin thought, wondering if Concubine Shu was really stupid or something, she actually sent her closest maid to get close to the spy stationed in Yilan Palace.

People come and go in this palace, and it is clear who has entered and who has left the bamboo forest. If something happens to Wanying, the first person to be suspected is Concubine Shu.

When Su Jin said that His Majesty had left Yilan Palace, the maid's eyes widened. Who could call His Majesty away from Yilan Palace at this time?
After all, Concubine Shu used the excuse that the Second Prince missed His Majesty, so His Majesty only came to Shun'an Palace for a short stay the next day and did not stay overnight.

Later, even if he claimed to be ill, His Majesty just sent the royal doctor and did not show up.

Just as the palace maid was thinking about it, she heard Su Jin continue to say: "Concubine Rou was feeling unwell and asked the imperial doctor. Your Majesty was worried and went over."

The eldest palace maid's eyes flickered, both of them were people that Shu Fei hated. Concubine Shu always thought that Concubine Rou and Concubine Lan were from the same faction, but she didn't expect that the two were competitors.

However, this is not the most important thing. The eldest maid calmed down, took out a prescription from her arms, and said: "I heard that Empress Lanbin has always wanted to give birth to an heir for Your Majesty. This is the son that Empress Shufei spent a lot of money to obtain. Fang, if you dedicate it to Empress Lan Bin, she will definitely use you."

Su Jin refused with a panic look on her face: "No, Empress Lanbin won't believe me. Qingye beside her knows a little bit about medical skills and will definitely see the problem of seeking a child."

"Who told you that there is a problem with asking for a prescription? Just give the prescription to Concubine Lan." Seeing Mo Yao's troubled face, the eldest palace maid threatened: "You didn't do things well in the past few times. Concubine Shu is already very dissatisfied. Well, if you fail again this time, your relatives outside the palace..."

After hearing this, Mo Yao took over the request for a child, and the eldest maid threatened a few more times before letting Mo Yao leave.

After both of them left, a man in white came out of the bamboo forest. He looked in the direction Mo Yao left and heard the attendant beside him ask: "Master, do you want to tell your majesty about this?"

"No need." The man in white refused coldly. Looking at the bamboo forest, he seemed to see an old friend with a cold face in his memory. He sighed and said, "Go find your aunt."

The Queen Mother learned about Ling Wanying's affair in Yilan Palace through the mouth of the shadow guard, and her original dissatisfaction with Duan Li for doting on Ling Wanying and neglecting other concubines became much lighter.

The thought of beating Ling Wanying also disappeared. Why bother? It was rare for Li'er to meet someone who treated him sincerely.

The Queen Mother had a headache when she thought that although the emperor came to pay her respects every day, his attitude became more and more cold. She glanced at Qi Yuezhen, who had a cold face, and became more and more angry in her heart. It won’t be like this now.”

"What kind of situation, isn't it very good now? The Qi family can send their daughter to the palace as they wish, and my cousin can always have someone who treats him sincerely by his side. Aunt, you know, as long as my surname is Qi, it will be mine. If I hold my heart out, my cousin won't look at it twice, and I will just be in the same pain as my cousin." Qi Yuezhen's voice became colder. She looked at the Queen Mother and said lightly: "Aunt, my cousin is being ignored because of Lan Bin. Concubine Rou, isn't that what you want to see?" The Queen Mother choked. She looked at Qi Yuezhen and asked, "Has the Ai family wronged you by letting you enter the palace?"

"No, this is a tremendous wealth for Yuezhen, but Your Majesty doesn't like me, so even if you come to my palace, you will just sit there all night." Qi Yuezhen's voice was bitter, but what she said shocked the Queen Mother. She asked with a trembling voice. : "Your Majesty, he..."

"Except for the first night, I slept with my clothes on all the time. I know that Your Majesty hates me, so I don't dare to ask for His Majesty's mercy. I only hope that I can live in peace in the palace." Qi Yuezhen's behavior made the Queen Mother feel that she was wronged even more. She can't afford it.

The emperor didn't know his true life experience until he was 14 years old. By that time, the emperor's character had already been finalized. No matter how he tried to show his kindness, he couldn't get close to her. She felt guilty and wanted to make up for him more and more.

It was not until later that she found that she was becoming more and more alienated from the emperor, so she thought of arranging a daughter from the Qi family around the emperor to ease the relationship between mother and son. At that time, Concubine Rou first entered the East Palace and turned the originally peaceful East Palace upside down. She was dissatisfied with the queen, so she decided to Thinking of letting Jiahui take over the Weiyang Palace, who knew that the emperor, who had always been obedient to her, would react so violently and force Jiahui to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

As for Yuezhen, she also suppressed her position. The daughter of the Qi family of Weiyuan Marquis and the niece of the Queen Mother, she was only given the position of Shuyi when she was first granted the title. If she hadn't used an excuse to promote her, Yuezhen might still be Shuyi now.

The Qi family only had two daughters in this generation, and both of them were buried in the conflict between themselves and the emperor. Thinking of the days when she and her two brothers depended on each other in the small courtyard when they were young, the Queen Mother's heart ached, and she looked at Qi Yuezhen with pity. He said, "Good boy, it's the Aijia that has delayed you. Don't worry, you will never be wronged like this again in the future."

Qi Yuezhen was speechless and just lowered her head slightly, looking very lonely.

"I heard that you like to read at home, and are especially interested in some weird and bizarre stories. For this reason, you often ask your father to tell you about the cases of the Ministry of Justice.

The legitimate daughter of the Zhu family, the minister of etiquette, suddenly disappeared in the palace on the eve of the final election. The queen has not yet found her whereabouts. She must be busy with palace affairs and cannot escape. Perhaps you can go and help her. "The Queen Mother's voice was calm.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Yuezhen heard the nun beside the Queen Mother say: "The Queen is raising the prince and the eldest princess under her knees. The eldest princess is weak, so it must have taken a lot of effort from the empress. There must be times when she is unable to do what she wants."

The Queen Mother nodded and said to Qi Yuezhen: "The Ai family will hand over Gong Zhengsi to you, Yuezhen, don't let the Ai family down."

The Queen Mother's words could not be rejected. Qi Yuezhen stood up to express her gratitude. When she heard the news that Qi Zhongjing asked for a meeting, she followed the grandmother beside the Queen Mother to Fengyi Palace.

The Queen Mother watched Qi Yuezhen leave and sighed leisurely. She hoped that Yuezhen would not be so depressed after she had something to do. The most feared thing in the palace was to give up on herself in the idleness day after day and become a failure. Flowers that wither in winter.

After saying goodbye to Qi Zhongjing, the Queen Mother stood up, and the eldest maid hurriedly stepped forward to help her. A familiar fragrance floated to her nose. In a trance, she seemed to see a woman with a calm face, and said: "Ah Yue, I never use incense." "Powder, maybe what I smell is the fragrance of osmanthus on my clothes. Aunt Qiu often uses osmanthus to fumigate my clothes. She said that this can cover up the smell of blood from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. If you like..."

The voice gradually faded away, and the Queen Mother heard herself ask: "The fragrance of osmanthus..."

"Yes, the new little palace lady from the Clothing Bureau can use flower petals to leave fragrance on the clothes." The eldest palace lady replied.

"So that's it." The Queen Mother was in a daze. She always felt that the incense was mixed with the incense in the palace, which made her chest feel a little tight. "Don't use it again in the future."

The Grand Palace Goddess looked panicked and hurriedly knelt down in response. It was not until the Queen Mother entered the inner hall that she stood up with a frightened look on her face. Doesn't the Queen Mother like the fragrance of osmanthus?But there are also osmanthus trees planted in Ningfu Palace. The eldest maid didn't understand, but she already thought about throwing away all the fragrant clothes when she went back.

Duan left Ganquan Palace and saw Concubine Rou lying on the bed with a pale face. The imperial doctor was treating her, and she could vaguely hear the words "recurrence of old injuries".

He heard Concubine Rou telling the palace people not to disturb him, and Duan Li suddenly discovered that he had not been to Ganquan Palace for a long time.

The old wound on Concubine Rou's chest was left to save him. At that time, he went to Suzhou to investigate the case, determined to make his father treat him differently, but he did not expect that he fell into the enemy's trap because he was too eager.

At that time, Concubine Rou was still a little beauty presented to him by the prefect of Suzhou, but she stood in front of him and saved his life, and she suffered from injuries ever since.

Over the years, Concubine Rou had suffered a lot of grievances due to her confrontation with her mother. She was just a weak woman. Thinking of this, Duan Li walked in. Concubine Rou was different after all.
