It seemed like a huge wave was surging down. It was an old thing from many years ago. It might be related to Jin Yuyan, or there might be a rift from Lu Yun. But that was a long time ago. Time was deserted and tobacco was, who could tell the truth or falsehood? What's important is that over the years, Lu Yun was indeed not a vicious person.

Lu Yun was so excited that she couldn't speak. She shook her head desperately, and a strange sound from Johor made her throat. Her face was so purple that she could hardly breathe.

Hailan knelt down quietly, looked at Lu Yun who was about to faint, and said softly: "Emperor, the Queen's words are the same as I thought. It happened many years ago, who can tell who harmed who, or was it a coincidence, or was framed by someone? Empress Xiaoxian and Su Xin both closed their eyes at the nine springs. Why should we chase the king? I beg the emperor to say, "Stop the matter and make peace for Han."

Her words calmed down the emperor's anger. Ruyi helped Lu Yun into Hailan's arms, and gave a look to signal them to retreat. Wen Ran comforted him: "Emperor, Han's first entered the palace, has attracted countless criticism. Concubine Chun has a deep experience and has children. Even if she said something unpleasant, you have heard it, why bother with the woman?" After that, Yingran stood up, held the emperor's arm, slowly stepped into the Ai Pavilion, and left the noise outside the hall.

Ruyi sat down with the emperor, held the emperor's tea that he had eaten, waved his hand and poured it away, and smiled, "Is it okay to spill all the troubles like this tea?"

The emperor was still angry and said, "I don't want to be upset either. But what's so angry is that the bastard is in the palace for a long time and is still so ignorant of the generalities, which causes trouble."

Ruyi thought for a moment, slowly washed the cup with clear water, put the tangerine peel and chamomile, brewed it with boiling water, and watched the chamomile petals bloom in the water, emitting a peaceful and peaceful fragrance, and then handed it to the emperor, "The pure concubine's temperament is good, and she has some complaints, let alone others? Even if the emperor cherishes Han, it cannot cause complaints from the six palaces. The rain and dew are equally mixed, which is the way to be harmonious with the six palaces."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, quite distressed, and held her hand and said, "Ruyi, do you think I am confused, right? I favored Han, and I feel that I am going crazy. But I have no way of doing anything. I am completely out of control. I want to change her to smile with sincerity." Ruyi listened to his words and sentences, as if she was heartbroken, and said, "Is the emperor saying this to me, is it a woman who is a woman who is free from desire, no desire, no intention, no heart, no heart, no heart, no heart, no smile? Can you let your husband tell you about your infatuation with other women!"

The emperor was very upset and held her hand and refused to relax at all. "Ruyi, who else can I tell you except you? I have infinite troubles towards Han, but the harem still won't let me have a moment of peace! I can conquer the most barbaric tribe, but I can't conquer the heart of a woman. How can I not be upset or hate if you ask me?"

Ruyi was so angry that she became more and more sour and said, "Even if the emperor is full of conquering Han, what's the matter with Concubine Chun and Concubine Chun? Otherwise, Yongzhang was still young and had no experience, so why bother to scare him like this?"

When the emperor mentioned Yongzhang, he felt unhappy, "Yongzhang is my biological son, why don't I love him? But whenever I see him, I always look so cowardly and incompetent. I really regret that I can't be strong!"

Ruyi comforted him and said earnestly: "The emperor treats Yongzhang more often than teaches him. It is difficult for the emperor to be so many princes, so he cannot be careful one by one. But for Concubine Chun, the third prince is her beloved son, so how can she not be anxious to cherish her? What the emperor said and done not only hurt the father and son's love, but also hurt Concubine Chun's heart."

The emperor slapped the cup in his hand, "A loving mother often defeated her son. If she hadn't been doting on her, Yongzhang wouldn't have been so distorted. If she hadn't instigated her, how could Yongzhang be good at talking about the affairs of the palace and discussing the elders' concubines? If she was willing to discipline her strictly, she wouldn't have had such a desire to fight for the throne back then..."

"Strict discipline is not about urging and scolding, but about telling the children what should be done and what should not be done. Even if they are not done well, the children are still young and they will slowly correct themselves. Why does the emperor beat and scold them at every turn? It makes their children feel disappointed?"

The emperor was very dissatisfied and glanced at her and said, "Ruyi, I know you are smart. But Concubine Ling also has her benefits. She is a soft and soft flower of Xieyu. She never dared to speak to me like this."

Ruyi was stunned and unexpectedly the emperor would say this. However, it was not appropriate to contradict him. Let's see Lu Yun. She suppressed the depression in her heart and relieved her rapid breath, and said softly: "I remember the words of the emperor. I just thought that Yongzhang was not good, but he was still a kind child after all. Even though he had the intention to fight for the throne, he was so anxious that he could learn his lessons after all. It would be better for the emperor to teach the princes to be strict, but if he hurts the child's heart, it would be difficult to save him. Did the emperor forget that Yongzhang died young? Now he is going to pay another Yongzhang, the father and son of the Tian family, why are he so careless!"

When the emperor heard Ruyi's sadness, he couldn't help but soften his heart and said with a sigh: "I am dissatisfied with Yonghuang and Yongzhang. I feel that my two sons are ambitious and unwilling to remain at peace. But they are my sons after all, and I'm afraid they will not have a hard time..."

Ruyi said sadly: "What the emperor said is. In his early years, the princes were ignorant, because Empress Xiaoxian was the legitimate queen and the one whom the emperor loved and respected. But now, for a concubine whose status is not yet determined, she even doesn't sympathize with the suffering of many years of service to Concubine Chun and turns a blind eye to Yongzhang's filial piety. So, I'm sorry to say bluntly that this is the emperor's fault."

The emperor looked coldly, "Empress, even you want to go against my wishes?"

Ruyi was sad and angry, "I am not trying to rebel against the emperor's wishes, but I feel that the emperor has always been kind and virtuous. A few days ago, I criticized Yongzhang and today I was furious at his mother, which inevitably hurt the peace in the palace. Even if there is anything wrong with the pure concubine, the emperor has forgiven her for having children and working hard for many years."

The emperor was silent for a long time and felt a little guilty. "Today, I was impatient, which aroused the old hatred of Empress Xiaoxian back then. I also remembered that when Su Xin died, the beads in her hand were from Concubine Chun. Thinking of the collusion between mother and son, I was so angry that I was overly angry."

Ruyi begged for sad voice: "After so many years, although the emperor has doubts about Su Xin's death, he can't count a pearl flower after all, and the emperor has not mentioned it. But I dare to swear by my life. This incident was indeed caused by Jin Yuyan's frame-up back then!"

The emperor sneered repeatedly, feeling sad, "Jin Yuyan? Everyone is dead, and many things may not be revealed! There is no need to touch everything on the dead! When Empress Xiaoxian passed away, there were so many shameful things in the palace. Do you think that Concubine Chun was clean! I don't know who there are people around me!"

Ruyi's heart trembled, and she felt a hint of irresistible sharpness in her sadness. "The emperor's resentment today is just because of Han. I dare not advise the emperor not to favor Han. However, if it causes trouble for a newcomer, the father and son will be in a state of harmony, it will be too much for the small to lose the big."

The emperor waved his hand and cut off Ruyi's advice. "I have a sense of what Han is doing, and the harem is not allowed to argue. All kinds of right and wrong are because the women in the harem are very jealous and rascal, and they have caused trouble. They have ruined my princes! Among all the princes, Yongzhang is the oldest. If he raises this, how can I teach the rest of the princes!"

Ruyi was extremely worried, "Since Yonghuang's death, Yongzhang has been the eldest son of the emperor. The emperor must strictly teach the children. I have nothing to say, but what does it mean to scare the children? Yongzhang himself is also a man who has a son, and he is so scared by the emperor. How do you tell him to be a man in the future?"

The emperor sighed and his face slightly relieved, "Forget it. If you ask Jiang Yubin to go and see it yourself, I will say that I am not at ease." After he said that, he was angry again, "It's because Concubine Chun spoiled him since childhood and could not withstand any storm. This was frightened. How can he become a weapon in the future?"

Ruyi was depressed and uneasy, "Does the emperor still blame Concubine Chun and his son? Both of them are sick like this. People are weak in their ambitions at the center of illness, so don't fall into the root of the disease. The emperor must comfort Concubine Chun and it is the only way to be cured."

The emperor finally felt sorry for it and said slowly: "It is not easy for me to hurt my son's face. But Yonghuang is so cowardly that he cannot bear the title of prince. I have been serving me for many years, so I am very cautious. I have hurt her so much today, so I will give her the grace of Concubine Chun and promote her to the Imperial Concubine."

Ruyi felt depressed and uncomfortable. Is it worth it to exchange for the loss of the face and body of the mother and son to get the reputation of an imperial concubine? She couldn't tolerate her longing for her, and the emperor said: "Since the pure imperial concubine is sick, the ceremony of enthroning the imperial concubine can be simpler, so there is no need to be too ostentatious."

So, even if the emperor was angry, things would be over.

After Lu Yun suffered this humiliation, her spirit was greatly damaged and her body was deteriorated sharply. Ruyi felt most relieved that Wanpin was safe and asked her to deal with Zhongcui Palace from time to time. The rest of the people were not allowed to disturb Lu Yun's rest, so she blocked all kinds of eyes outside Zhongcui Palace.

However, Lu Yun's condition was very bad. Although there was a happy event for being promoted to the Imperial Concubine, her condition did not improve at all. Instead, it collapsed like rotten wood that was crippled and destroyed.

Ruyi and Hailan went to see Lu Yun three times a day, but she just faced the wall, and her rugged shoulder blades were highlighted under the lake-colored silk bedding, and her bones were suddenly terrifying. She was unable to get up, but just cried to the wall of the bed, and refused to meet her back. Only the maid told her with tears in her eyes, Lu Yun vomited blood every day, and I am afraid she would not be able to do it.

When there was no one, Ruyi stood by Lu Yun's bed alone, combing her loose and winding black hair, talking about the little things in Yongzhang's mansion outside the palace. More often, Lu Yun was like a pool of stagnant water, so calm that it was scary.

After a long time, she answered calmly: "Empress, I have been guilty of too much and have implicated my children. Just let me wait quietly for death to return to the emperor's love for Yongzhang. Yongzhang, he is really too bitter."

Ruyi held an ivory comb and said softly: "The emperor has sent the imperial physician to see Yongzhang. In order to express his guilt towards you, the emperor also issued an order to designate you as the imperial concubine. Lu Yun, be happy, think about it and live a good life."

Lu Yun's thin shoulders moved slightly, like the bones of a skeleton rattled. She seemed to be laughing, with a crying voice in her laughter, "Middle-aged man vomited blood, and his life would not last long. Good thing, I have given all my life hard work to the child. If I could die for the emperor to obtain the emperor's understanding of Yongzhang, then I would be willing. As for this imperial concubine, the emperor also knew that I was about to die? Before the imperial concubine Huixian died, the emperor also appointed her as imperial concubine, let alone Jin Yugui. It seems that the emperor disliked whoever he hoped that he would die soon, so he would be an imperial concubine. Emperor, he is so kind!"

Ruyi was so sad that her fingers trembled slightly, and she had to hold back and said, "I know that you were heartbroken this time. You gave birth to children for the emperor for the rest of your life, but in the end you ended up being so suspicious. When I looked at it, I felt that my lips were dead and my teeth were cold."

Lu Yun's voice was trembling, "I never dreamed that the emperor would be so suspicious for a bead that even I didn't know when it fell. I have been disgraced for so long, and I don't know what happened. No wonder, no wonder, I deserve to die in a mess!" After she said that, Xiang Yu silently refused to take medicine, and just waited for death silently.

Such days didn't last long.

On April 19, the 25th year of Qianlong's reign, the imperial concubine Su Lujun died. The posthumous title was Chunhui.

She died silently on a spring rainy night. When the palace maids brought her the medicine she needed to take in the morning, they found that her body was already cold, but her head was still towards the direction of Yongzhang's mansion outside the palace. This weak woman passed away silently. It seemed as if the weak and swaying flowers on the branches in the rainstorm had withered in a dark way.

Soon, her son, the third prince Yongzhang, also followed his mother and son, who was also a supporter on the ground.

The sudden death of the mother and son did not attract too much attention in the palace. Because together with the emperor, everyone's eyes were gathered in Chengqian Palace, which was trapped in the city like Han Bing. A mother and son who died of dissatisfaction could not make people feel happy.

This stuffy summer is so hot that it makes people feel powerless. The higher the emperor's enthusiasm, the stronger the desire to conquer. The hearts of all women will become colder.

In the autumn of this year, the emperor did not go to Mulan Qiuhua. How could all the pursuit and hunting be compared to the arrogant heart of a peerless beauties? He was always busy, and in addition to the government, he was in and out of Chengqian Palace, which was still indifferent.

On this day, the autumn scenery first started to rise, and the emperor stepped into the quiet inner palace of Chengqian Palace in the vast autumn scenery, and his face was filled with joy. The huge Chengqian Palace was actually as quiet as a desert Gobi, and lifeless. Because Xiangjian did not like the service of the palace servants, she only let her former maid beside her. Apart from praying to the true god, she just sat all day without saying anything. Outside the Chengqian Palace, the palace ban was particularly strict. Although the emperor never forbidden her to travel, she had no desire to walk in the palace except for that failed escape.

When the emperor turned into the inner hall, Xiang saw that she was leaning under the window of the warm pavilion, looking silently at the dusk of the sky, the falling getting thicker and thicker. The emperor saw that her silhouette was like a cutter, and her beautiful face was filled with a strong and clear look. Unconsciously, his heart was shaken, and he slowed down and stared at her graceful figure.

The dusk clouds are deep, and the moon is like a hook in the sky. The lonely empty courtyard is covered with yellow leaves. The palace servants are illuminated by the glass palace lanterns under the eaves, and let the yellow lights fall quietly. Under the slightly yellow warm color, the skin color of the fragrance is still pale, and the layers of silver threads and silk gauze dresses on her body are always indifferent as if in a nobody's place. In this way, she has a sense of fragility that is almost broken, like the white dew on the autumn night, but she doesn't know when it will be suddenly evaporated by the sun and disappear.

This feeling made the emperor deeply uneasy. He approached her two steps, smiled quietly, and whispered: "Xiang Ji, I'm here to see you."

She ignored it, and even didn't move her figure a little. She just looked at the crow flapping its wings in the sky, showing a hint of fascination. The emperor had become accustomed to her indifference, so he signaled Li Yu to hold the jade bottle full of maple leaves in his hand, and smiled with a flattering smile: "It's just now that autumn has come, and the maple leaves in the Imperial Garden are red. I know you don't like going out, so I specially folded them to give you a detailed appreciation."

The handful of maple leaves are as fierce as blood, and they are so red that they add a trace of warmth to the coldness of the hall. Seeing that the Xiang Chong had not heard of it, Li Yu obediently stepped forward and held the jade bottle in front of her, but it attracted her lowly fearful cry and a look of disgust and hatred, "Take it away! Take it away!"

After living in Chengqian Palace for several months, she had lost the intensity she had when she first entered the palace. More often, she was as quiet as stagnant water. Therefore, at this moment, her sudden emotional fluctuations made the emperor so shocked that he reached out to hold her and comforted him quickly: "Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious! If you don't like it, I will ask someone to withdraw!"

Seeing this, Li Yu quickly retreated, threw the maple leaves into the hand of the eunuch outside, and stood by her side with her hands down. Xiang Jian seemed to be afraid of encountering some filth, so she waved her hands violently to prevent the emperor's hand from touching him. She said with a hatred: "Do you like such disgusting leaves? Like blood, like a large army attacking our tribe, it is full of blood, and blood everywhere! It's so terrible!"

Seeing her so excited, the emperor was afraid that she would hurt her, so he hurriedly stepped back two steps: "Kaki! There will be bloodshed and sacrifices in the war, but everything has passed! Don't think about it, don't remember, stay in the palace. I will treat you well!"

"Treat me well?" Xiang Jian was stunned and smiled sadly. "Crows can fly freely in the sky. Why can't I ride a horse back to my hometown? Let me go, I want to go back to my hometown and be with my father and tribe." Her words were filled with deep pleading and desolation, "Let me go back! I want to find our home, I want to guard his grave for Han Qi!"

The emperor's eyes suddenly jumped, like a flame flashing by the wind. He smiled gently, as if the sweet sand was about to melt. "Xiang Jian, you had read your father's handwritten letter half a month ago. He hoped that you would stay by my side for your own tribe." He quietly approached a little, his eyes becoming more and more gentle, "Xiang Jian, do you know my concubines? Ying Ping and Ke were from Mongolia, Yu Fei was sent to the palace by the Borjijit tribe, Xun was the princess of Huoshuote tribe, and Shujia imperial concubine was the noble daughter of Li Chao. Every tribe wants to be peaceful and stable with the Qing Dynasty forever, and will become in-laws with me. Han Guo is no exception. Because only a strong marriage can ensure that I will give my kindness to each other forever."

Seeing that he was so sad and angry, Kaoru growled: "I know, my father must have been forced by you."

"It's not a forced force." The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, leisurely and calm, "It's your father who understands that the world changes and time changes, and wants to protect the long-term stability of all tribes. You are by my side, the best way." He glanced at Li Yu, and Li Yu immediately understood. He held Xiangseong's jealous robe from Jin Bao's hand and respectfully brought it to Xiangcheng.

Xiang looked away when she saw her, and looked very resistant. The emperor stared at her with gentleness, "You have been in the palace for a long time, but you have never been willing to change your full clothes. I think that your identity is not clear, and I don't force it for a while. But if your identity is not yet settled, the rumors in the palace are not very nice, and even the emperor's mother has complained." He paused, and a hint of firmness in his words, "I have decided to enthrone you as a concubine and give you a title. Change your clothes today and be my concubine well!"

Xiang saw it and was frightened, as if she was avoiding the plague, "No! I don't! I don't want to be your concubine. I have my sweetheart. Although Han Qi died and had faults, I can't change my heart!"

The emperor frowned slightly, still smiling warmly, and said proudly: "Being my woman is not better than being a ruthless wife? Besides, you just made a marriage contract with him, not really marrying him, so why bother with him?"

Xiangjian's eyes slowly looked at him like a cold sword, with a little disdain, "What I care about is not only my feelings with Han Qi, but also your character. There are sorrows here these days, I know. Your son just died, and your imperial concubine died because of me. Their bones are not cold, how can you be with me immediately!"

The emperor suddenly heard her mention the death of Yongzhang and his son, and his face was very embarrassed. He coughed slightly and said reluctantly: "The death of concubines and concubines are all their own sins. I will no longer pursue them, maybe they will be mourning after death. Moreover, although people die, life will be lived."

"Although people die, they have to live their lives? The dead are the women who have been with you for many years, and they are your son!" Kamaki's face was filled with anger and contempt, "No! You treat them like this, and you will treat me like this! I don't want to be with someone like you!"

The emperor snatched the body, grabbed Xiangjian's white tenderloin tightly, and said anxiously: "No! Xiangjian, you have seen my feelings. I have never waited for someone so long! I will pamper you and cherish you. Let you become my favorite woman! I will definitely!" He raised his jaw and signaled Li Yu to hold the concubine's robe, full of tenderness, "Wear it, Xiangjian, will it be my woman, okay?"

Xiang Jianji was in a conflict, as if it was extremely unbearable for the emperor to catch her hands. Her face seemed distorted because of this, and she struggled to get rid of the emperor's touch. She was already small and was swaying in her skirt. As the struggle was as if the snow was flying, the emperor was moved and winked. Li Yu immediately retreated and closed the door tightly.

Seeing that no one was standing beside him, the emperor reached out and wanted to capture her in his arms. Xiang saw how she was willing to rely on her, so she tried her best to retreat, in order to avoid the farther away, the better.

The emperor's tone was eager and chaotic, and a burning fire color burst out in his eyes, "Xiang Jian! He is just the leader of a tribe, and I am the king of a country and the master of thousands of miles of country. Your beauty is the most suitable only by my side. Xiang Jian! Xiang Jian! Come to me!"
