The queen sat alone at the top and drank a glass of fruit wine.
Her eyes were somewhat secretive.
"Your Majesty," the old nanny walked up behind her and whispered, "Concubine Fang was admiring flowers in the backyard when she slipped and her lower body began to bleed."
The queen suddenly frowned: "Just fell?"
She is a harem woman, and she knows very well how many intrigues and intrigues there are in the harem. Which harem woman does not have human lives on her hands, especially unborn children? There are countless deaths in the entire palace.
Her first reaction was that Concubine Fang was being plotted against.
"Concubine Fang said herself that she slipped accidentally." The old nanny said softly, "I have already made the decision and invited the best imperial doctor to come, so I didn't disturb anyone else."
The queen was about to speak.
When I looked up, I saw that the emperor was back. Five or six steps behind him was the Duke's wife, with Eunuch Gao between them.
The emperor sat down directly next to the queen.
The Duke's wife also returned to her seat.
The queen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I suddenly have a headache. I want to go back to Kunning Palace first."
The emperor turned his head with concern in his eyes: "Is it okay?"
"I must have caught a cold at night." The queen said blessedly, "I will leave first."
After the queen left the table, the emperor sat for a quarter of an hour, then stood up and left.
The flower-viewing banquet had come to an end. At this time, someone suddenly said: "Concubine Fang seems to have fallen down. I don't know what the situation is. Why don't we go and take a look."
A group of noble ladies stood up, and the Crown Princess led the way towards the back of the East Palace.
Yun Chu also stood up. She was looking for an opportunity to go to the backyard. After meeting Xie Ping for a while, the opportunity came.
The concubines of the East Palace lived in the side hall, and the concubines lived in the back, living in a smaller hall with the concubines.
When everyone went in to visit Concubine Fang, Yun Chu turned around, walked around the palace wall, and went to the back.
The palace at the back is slightly smaller in scale, but it is also divided into main hall and side halls. Xie Ping lives in the side hall. Her name is Wu Linglong now, and they all call her Concubine Wu.
A tiger tore off a large piece of flesh from her arm and bitten the bone. Although she received the best medical treatment, the arm was still half disabled and she could not even hold a cup of tea.
But she didn't think it was anything. Because of one arm, she changed her identity and became the crown prince's concubine. There was nothing to feel bad about.
When the prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, as the prince's savior, she will at least be one of the four concubines...
Xie Ping was about to turn around and go in.
Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw a person standing outside the side hall.
Her pupils suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to cover her face.
But it was still a step too late. She saw the shock on Yun Chu's face: "Ping'er?"
"Mother, Princess Pingxi!" Xie Ping knew that there was no point in hiding, so she had no choice but to walk over, her voice slightly trembling, "I, I am not Xie Ping now..."
Yun Chu's eyes were full of shock: "After returning to Beijing from the Imperial Mausoleum that day, I specially arranged for someone to go to the Imperial Mausoleum to deliver some things to you, but they said you were missing. A few days later, news came back that you were dead... …Ping’er, what’s going on? Why are you in the East Palace? What happened?”
"me……"
Xie Ping couldn't say a word.
Once, she tried her best to become Prince Anjing's concubine.
Now, she once again used tricks to become the prince's concubine.
She didn't think it was anything at first.
But when she saw her mother, she felt like a villain who had done all kinds of bad things.
Xie Ping grabbed Yun Chu's hand and begged: "Mother, I call you mother for the last time. Please don't tell anyone about this. Otherwise, I will die. I will really die..."
Yun Chu asked slowly: "Who is the person who died in your place?"
Xie Ping bit her lip and said nothing.
Yun Chu continued to ask: "Did she die accidentally, or did she die in your hands?"
"She, she contracted a bad disease..." Xie Ping lowered his head, "She was already dead, I just used her body... Mother, I really had no choice but to choose this way. Road, please mother give me a way to live!"
"Okay, I won't tell anyone." Yun Chu stared at her, "But I'm not the only one who has seen you. You should be careful."
After she finished speaking, she patted Xie Ping's shoulder, turned around and left.
Xie Ping leaned against the palace wall as if she had collapsed.
She was Princess Anjing, and indeed many people had seen her, but only once or twice.
At that time, whenever she met people from the royal family, she would always dress up and have a red hairpin. At that time, she still had the charm and innocence of a girl, and her face was fleshy.
But now, she is dressed in plain clothes, her cheeks are thin and sunken, and her girlish charm has long been gone. Only people who have lived with her for a long time can recognize her.
But she and the Xie family will never meet again in this life.
As long as the mother doesn't tell anyone, no one will ever know that the prince's concubine Wu was the former concubine Anjing.
Time flies to June. After the full moon party for Yun Zhi, the eldest daughter of the next generation of the Yun family, Yun Silin is about to leave Beijing for Western Xinjiang.
At the same time, the eighth prince Yiwang will also be escorted by Yun Silin to the fiefdom.
Yun Chu and Chu Yi took their two children to escort them.
The eighth prince is only nine years old this year and is shorter than Yun Chu. Although he has been crowned king, he does not have the aura that a prince should have.
Mrs. Lin touched the eighth prince's hair with some worry: "The sky is high and the road is far away, and the mountains and rivers are so far away. Alas... Xiaochang is a poor place. There is something missing. Write a letter back to Beijing and don't wrong yourself."
The Eighth Prince raised his hand and said, "Thank you, aunt."
Yun Chu said: "I can often go into the palace to chat with my aunt to relieve my boredom. Don't think too much about your mother and concubine."
The eighth prince looked in the direction of the palace and sighed silently.
Originally, his father allowed his mother to leave the palace to see him off, but she refused. He knew that she did not like such a scene.
He wished he was a girl so that he could stay with his mother and concubine forever.
But he is a prince, a prince who is qualified to inherit the throne. Only by leaving can his mother not fall into the whirlpool of the heir apparent.
This is the best path that mother and son can take.
"Yunze, there is no need to hibernate anymore." Yun Silin looked at his eldest son, "I have left a thousand elite soldiers as secret guards in the capital. They can be used at any time if needed."
Yunze understood the inner meaning of these words and nodded solemnly: "Dad, I have written it all down."
Yun Silin's eyes fell on Chu Yi: "Our Yun family leaves Chu'er completely in your hands. No matter what happens, I hope you can protect Chu'er. As for Brother Yu and Chang Sheng, they are With your bloodline, I believe you know how to do it without me having to say anything."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I understand everything." Chu Yi said, "In this position, I know clearly what I will face. Passive counterattack will only make me fall into a passive position. I will not let this happen. .”
Ever since he had such an idea, he had already made complete preparations.
He would never let Yun Chu, the two children, and the Yun family fall into a passive position of being beaten.
Everyone talked for a while and then said goodbye.
Yun Chu was about to get on the carriage when suddenly, Chu Yi's face darkened: "There is someone in the dark!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Tong realized that someone was indeed hiding behind a tree on the edge of the official road.
She flew over on tiptoes and grabbed a person from behind the tree.
Yun Chu narrowed his eyes.
It’s Xie Shian!
