Cannon Fodder Strategy

The deposed imperial concubine (twenty-six)

It is not uncommon for people in the palace to receive rewards from their masters, but the jade bottle is extremely exquisite, and it is not the Xian Concubine who rewards An Xue alone, because the Xian Concubine always treats the two of them equally, and will reward both of them in double portions of any good thing. One share for each person.

"It seems to be a bottle of ointment that smells like plum blossoms. An Xue hid it like a treasure. The slave saw it once last time and didn't tell her when I asked her." When Concubine Xian heard An Ru's words, her heart suddenly went cold. , Somehow, she suddenly remembered that before the Queen Mother's birthday, she went to Xianfu Palace and asked Lily what kind of gift she wanted to give Queen Mother Lu. Lily once said that Queen Mother Lu liked the smell of plum blossoms.

When Concubine Xian thought of this, her whole body started to tremble like chaff.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." After An Ru finished speaking, she saw that Concubine Xian's face changed drastically, and her teeth began to rattle. She didn't know what she was thinking, and she called Concubine Xian one after another. The concubine called seven or eight times, but the concubine Xian still couldn't come to her senses. An Ru was worried, thinking that the concubine Xian was in a daze. He was about to call her out louder, but Concubine Xian suddenly reached out and grabbed her: "That thing is Who rewarded it?"

There are only a few jade bottles in the palace that can afford it. The palace maids definitely can't afford it. At worst, using ceramic bottles to hold things is already extremely precious. Concubine Xian still hopes that her guess is wrong. In her excitement, she didn't notice the strength of her hands, and her well-maintained long nails dug into An Ru's flesh. It was April, it was obviously early summer, and the weather was already getting colder, but Concubine Xian's hands were frighteningly cold. The cold seemed to penetrate into her heart through her fingertips.

She didn't know what happened to frighten Concubine Xian into such a state, and An Ru couldn't help but tremble. He tried his best to ignore the pain in his hands and did not dare to struggle. After thinking hard for a long time, his eyes lit up:

"I remember it. It seems that once, An Xue said that the Queen Mother rewarded her with something..."

After hearing this, Concubine Xian was as shocked as a thunderbolt. He was so bombed that he was about to cry without tears. He couldn't recover for a long time, but his body was like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind. At first it was shaking lightly, but later his face was pale and his lips were trembling violently.

The Queen Mother rewarded An Xue with something, which enabled her to put the items in jade bottles. There were only a few people in the palace who could do this. Except Emperor Yongming. In addition to Empress Dowager Lu, herself, Lily, De Fei and other three concubines, at most one Liu concubine at that time could be used. Concubine Liu could use it herself, but it was impossible for her to give the jade vase to others, especially those in her own palace. Concubine De hated her to the core, so it was naturally impossible. Lily was also possible, but now An Ru said that the Queen Mother had given her something, and when she thought of the Queen Mother's liking for plum blossom balm, Concubine Xian cried and laughed, as if she was going crazy:

"Impossible, impossible!" She suddenly stretched out her hand and swept all the cups in front of her to the ground, lay down and started crying.

"Empress..." Although Concubine Xian has a bad temper, she doesn't have much time to lose her temper for no reason like this. An Ru was so confused by her crying that she hurriedly knelt down. I don’t know which sentence I said wrong. Concubine Xian was furious.

"I want to find her, I want to ask her!" Concubine Xian stood up, An Ru knelt on the ground and took two steps, feeling a little uneasy: "Who are you going to find?"

"No. You can't be seen by others." Concubine Xian couldn't care about Anru at this time, so she finished her words to herself. Stopped again, she sat blankly for a long time, then covered her face with her hands and started crying.

This time Concubine Xian seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. She couldn't sleep peacefully. An Ru didn't know what happened to Concubine Xian. Without her master's consent, she didn't dare to ask the doctor to come. She didn't dare to let anyone else guard her, so she stood beside Xian Fei and listened to her calling: "Your Majesty, spare your life, I don't know anything..." She occasionally gritted her teeth, and suddenly shouted: "Spare the Guo family. ."

The words she shouted in her sleep made An Ru nervous. Her body seemed to be soaked in cold sweat, her clothes were wet and dry, and dry and wet again. An Ru's eyes were red with anxiety. For the master and servant, the night passed very slowly. It was almost dawn when Concubine Xian opened her eyes tiredly. She slept all night, but her eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes. She couldn't sleep at first, and then she kept having nightmares. At this time, she finally opened her eyes from the nightmare. Concubine Xian seemed to be seriously ill. One scene, a hoarse voice shouted:

"Anru?"

"Your Majesty?" An Ru couldn't sleep all night, and her eye circles were still red. She noticed it as soon as Concubine Xian opened her eyes, but she didn't dare to come closer. At this time, she heard Concubine Xian calling her name. , An Ru hurriedly came over: "Last night, the empress was tricked and tricked?" The situation of Concubine Xian last night was exactly the same as being cursed and fell into the trap of disgusting times. At this time, An Ru thought of Xian Concubine. The concubine's eyes were red, and she was still trembling all over from the scene that looked like she was going crazy.

"Why don't I ask someone to send a letter back to the Guo Mansion and ask for your help?" An Ru didn't dare to tell the story about Concubine Xian. She was afraid that the news would leak out and make the emperor disgusted. After thinking about it, she could only prepare Ask Concubine Xian's father for help. Concubine Xian shook her head, her voice a little hoarse: "No need, I know it well. Too many things have happened recently, and my heart is tired." An Ru is her personal maid and has grown up with her since childhood. The relationship was extraordinary. She should have had great trust in An Ru originally, but she didn't know whether it was because the matter was so important or because An Xue's betrayal made Concubine Xian less trustful of An Ru.

Facing the concerned face of the eldest palace maid, Concubine Xian couldn't say anything. She bit her lips and just shook her head, looking like she was hesitant to speak. After a while, she sighed: "Help me." I, please get up."

"It's too early to say hello to the Queen Mother. Your Majesty didn't get a good rest last night. Why don't you want to sleep for a while?" When Concubine Xian was about to get up, An Ru comforted her with a few words.

Hearing the word "Queen Mother" mentioned in her mouth, Concubine Xian felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, with a look of fear on her face. Her pupils shrank to the size of a needle for an instant. She shook her head hurriedly, her eyes trembling twice, her voice Somewhat dryly: "No, let's get up." Red eyes are not popular in the palace. If she had gone to greet the Queen Mother because of her red eyes last night, I'm afraid she would have laughed at her again when she saw Concubine De.

When An Ru heard her wanting to get up, the Jianjia Palace gradually became more lively. Everyone was carrying hot water. An Ru took a medicine pack and applied it on Concubine Xian's face. After two quarters of an hour, she applied it to Concubine Xian's face. As soon as the beautifying Chinese herbal mud is scraped off, the skin will look like newly peeled egg shells.

Although Concubine Xian is young, she has been in the palace for two or three years, and is far more mature than girls of the same age. In addition, she knows powerful relationships, so although she did not sleep well last night, she could wait until she changed her clothes and left the house. When she walked through the door of the palace, she had completely calmed down, and the remaining anxious look on her face had completely faded away. Before she went out, she told An Ru to keep it a secret. Not a word of what the two of them said last night was It was not allowed to be revealed. Although An Ru was not aware of her solemnity, she still obediently agreed.

First, she went to the Fengming Palace of Empress Dowager Lu to pay her respects. In the past, the virtuous concubine always felt that she wished she could please the Empress Dowager Lu more, but now because she knew some big things, she was in Fengming Palace as if she were in a hurry. Year. Fortunately, Concubine Xian forced herself to stay calm, and Empress Dowager Lu seemed to be uneasy, so she didn't notice anything strange about her, so she stayed for a while and asked them to leave.

When Concubine De's carriage left, Concubine Xian was at a loss in front of Fengming Hall. It is now April, and all kinds of flowers in the palace are blooming brilliantly. However, under the gorgeous appearance of these flowers, they are covered with dirt and filth. Concubine Xian is like a lost child. After a while, , when An Ru couldn't help but wanted to ask her, she pursed her lips and said, "Go to Xianfu Palace."

Before the eunuch carrying the chariot got up, An Xue, who was now a Yungui native in Fengming Palace, came out slowly with a big belly. Because she was pregnant, she was left by the Queen Mother to drink a cup of tea. She came out a little late. When she saw that Concubine Xian was still there, she stepped forward to say hello:

"Sister hasn't left yet?"

"Who is your sister?" Concubine Xian heard her call and sneered twice. When she looked at An Xue again, she wondered if it was because of what she accidentally learned last night. Concubine Xian looked at An Xue with an obvious look in her eyes. His indifference is no longer the resentful one before: "Are you worthy of being called sister to me?" However, it is possible that he just became a substitute for the Queen Mother. I am afraid that if it were not for her pregnancy, Emperor Yongming would He even forgot what she looked like, so it was ridiculous that An Xue still dreamed of climbing up step by step.

Concubine Xian didn't look at An Xue's green and white face. She knocked on the chariot and signaled everyone to get up and leave.

Behind her, An Xue maintained her greeting posture. It wasn't until Concubine Xian's chariot was gone that she stood up with a look of hatred in her eyes.

In the Xianfu Palace, Baihe didn't have to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager Lu because of the unresolved confinement. She didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. When Concubine Xian came over, she was still sitting on the chair combing her hair. During the confinement time, she was not only not anxious and embarrassed, but actually Maintain a radiant look. The palace maid gave her a high bun and a forehead ornament on her forehead. Her complexion did not fade a little because she was not favored by the emperor. The palace servant took an eyebrow pencil to draw her eyebrows. Her eyes were shining with hope, and her skin was Exuding a white and tender glow, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked like she had slept well yesterday.

A woman who was still being punished and rejected by the emperor, and who was ordered to be banned from the palace by the lost prince, now seemed to be three points more beautiful than Zhou Baihe before. Concubine Xian couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and seeing the palace maid choose She put the rouge on her hand, spread the rouge with the warmth of her hand, and slowly applied the color to her lips with her ring finger. The image of the beauty was reflected in the brass mirror.
