Xu Cairen was thrown into the cold palace.
After Concubine Wu was demoted, the vacated Linhua Palace was given to Concubine Liu Xian who presided over Jiuxuan Palace.
And she moved to Ruoshuixuan where Xu Cairen originally lived.
In addition to Linhua Palace, Ruoshuixuan was originally considered an excellent place to live in Jiuxuan Palace.
Because when Xu Cairen set fire to Eunuch Zhang, the two collapsed wing rooms in Ruoshuixuan were not repaired and looked very dilapidated. After Wu Jieyu moved in, she always had nightmares at night, dreaming that Eunuch Zhang came to claim his life.
As soon as Wu Jieyu saw the two burnt-out rooms, her eyes flashed past Eunuch Zhang's burned and bloody face.
She rubbed her aching forehead: "Has Concubine Liu Xian reported it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and asked people to come to Ruoshuixuan to repair these collapsed houses?"
"Mother, I'm afraid it won't be that fast."
"My slave has been to Linhua Palace several times in the past two days. Eunuch Wei who is beside Concubine Liu Xian shirks that her mother-in-law has just taken over the affairs of Jiuxuan Palace. He always sends the slave away with perfunctory words. He also says that Ruoshuixuan has been burning for so long. Her mother is in charge of the palace. At the time of the incident, it was not reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Yuan Shuang was originally the person Wu Jieyu placed beside Xu Cairen. Xu Cairen went to Leng Palace, and Yuan Shuang naturally returned to Wu Jieyu to serve him.
At this moment, while giving Wu Jieyu a hairpin, she gave her advice: "This palace is used to flattering the superiors and scorning the inferiors. It was Concubine Liu Xian who acted justly, so the emperor sent her to preside over the affairs of Jiuxuan Palace. Why not take advantage of today's visit?" I have been summoned by the Hua Palace to mention this matter in front of the Concubine Xian. She has just taken over the affairs of the palace and will not embarrass our Ruoshui Xuan over such a trivial matter."
There is no shortage of flattery in the palace.
Since she was demoted and moved out of the Linhua Palace, even the low-ranking Yan Baolin would only treat her perfunctorily when he saw her, which was completely unlike the fawning and fawning manner she showed when she was in charge of the Jiuxuan Palace.
Wu Jieyu was unwilling to appear in the Linhua Palace where she had moved, but when Concubine Liu Xian summoned her, she, a Jieyu whose status had been demoted, did not dare to disobey.
"That's all we can do. I'm in this situation all because of that little monster in Linglongju."
When Li Sixu was mentioned, Wu Jieyu gritted her teeth: "I have been operating in the harem for many years, and I finally climbed to the position of the first palace leader. I just think of being defeated by a six-year-old little beast and being pulled down from the height by her." , I couldn’t sleep at night, I wanted to twitch her tendons and peel her skin off.”
Yuan Shuang comforted her and said, "As long as you are an official in the court, my empress will still have a chance to make a comeback."
yes!
There may not be a chance for a comeback.
The emperor only demoted her status. Apart from Concubine Liu Xian, she was still the highest-ranking concubine in Jiuxuan Palace. This shows that the emperor cared about his old relationship.
Wu Jieyu has sent people to keep an eye on Linglongju secretly in the past few days.
Thinking that Li Sixu was studying medicine with Dr. Sun, but had been shut up for several days without going to the Taiyuan Hospital, the corner of her mouth curled up with a cold smile.
"Follow me to Linhua Palace. I can't wait to see that little monster there."
While the emperor was still in the fiefdom, Concubine Liu Xian had already entered the palace and soon gave birth to the eldest prince, Li Sizhi. Even though the eldest prince lost his appearance due to a hunting injury on his face, he missed the chance to become the crown prince.
Because he was Xuanzong's first prince, he was still highly valued by him.
As a high-ranking concubine, Concubine Liu Xian was still an old member of the palace, and her standards for food and clothing were naturally different. As soon as Wu Jieyu arrived at Linhua Hall, she felt that Linhua Hall had a completely new look.
There is a large Suzhou embroidered peony screen at the entrance, and several famous paintings from the previous dynasty are hung in prominent places. There are huge ice cubes placed inside the room. As soon as you step into the hall, it is cool and pleasant, and you can smell a fresh and elegant fragrance. I guess it is Burning agarwood as tribute from foreign countries.
Yan Baolin and Gao Cairen had already arrived at the palace first. When Wu Jieyu entered the palace, they and other concubines were tasting the iced lychees that Concubine Liu Xian used to entertain guests.
"Empress Wu is here!"
Yan Baolin followed Gao Cairen and stood up to greet him, as if he had come to his senses.
"I deserve to die, I forgot that there is no concubine in Jiuxuan Palace now."
Yan Baolin apologized to Concubine Liu Xian and blessed Wu Jieyu: "I have met Sister Jieyu."
Sister Jieyu?
How dare a little low-ranking concubine call her sister?
Thinking of Yan Baolin's flattering look in front of her before, and then looking at her face like this, Wu Jieyu's fingers under her wide sleeves pinched hard into her flesh.
After glaring at Yan Baolin, Wu Jieyu finally held back, and knelt down to pay respects to Concubine Liu Xian: "I was ignorant before, made a big mistake, and betrayed the emperor's trust. Now I have the empress to take charge of the overall situation. Jiuxuan Palace We have a backbone.”
"Get up, as long as you know what's appropriate."
Concubine Liu Xian said casually: "The emperor is already very tired from taking care of the affairs of the harem. You should not worry about the trivial matters in the harem anymore. You should behave and be careful about your duties. I can be impartial. I think you can do it too, Wu Jieyu." He is not ignorant of the rules, and he will not drag down Mr. Wu who was an official in the previous dynasty."
"What I want to remind you is that I must abide by my duties from now on."
After Wu Jieyu stood up, she looked around: "Where are Sister Yu and Sisi? I was biased in presiding over the affairs of Jiuxuan Palace before, and I have always been ashamed of Sister Yu and Sisi. I originally wanted to take advantage of the concubine's summons this time. , make amends to them."
Wu Jieyu is sincerely repenting and wants to make amends, right?
Concubine Liu Xian's face darkened.
At this time, the palace maid sent to Linglong Residence came back to report: "Your Majesty, the little princess suffered from heat stroke when she left the palace a few days ago. She took a dip in cold water when she came back. Now she is sick and bedridden. She said she would come to see your Majesty when she feels better."
"Are you already bedridden?"
The fish mermaid is stupid and doesn't know if she can take care of a child.
Concubine Liu Xian asked one more question: "Has the imperial doctor ever come to Linglong Residence to see you?"
The palace maid who had been to Linglong Residence didn't ask carefully. Just when she was about to say that she didn't know whether the imperial doctor had been summoned there, Wu Jieyu muttered to the side: "Why did I go out to the palace with Dr. Sun to visit the imperial doctor and got sick?" So many days?"
Wu Jieyu whispered softly, and happened to be heard by Yan Baolin on the side.
Ever since the emperor visited Linglong Residence and Concubine Wu was demoted, the direction of Linglong Residence has been watched by the entire Jiuxuan Palace.
Everyone knows that the tenth princess won the favor of the queen because of her meritorious service in presenting books. She was accepted as a disciple by Sun Yizheng of Taiyuan Hospital and studied medicine with him.
Only then did she follow Sun Yizheng to the Xingqing Palace to check the emperor's pulse, and successfully met the emperor, and then the emperor came to Linglong Residence.
As long as you make a little inquiry, you can also know that Sun Yizheng and Wang Tao are studying ways to cure the epidemic outside the palace, and the tenth princess went to the Imperial Medical Office with Sun Yizheng out of the palace.
Now the tenth princess has been sick and bedridden after a trip to the Imperial Medical Office.
Yan Baolin was anxious: "Mother Xian, the little princess has been sick for so many days and is still bedridden. Could it be that Sister Yu doesn't know how to take care of the child? Do you want to send someone to Linglong Residence to have a look?"
