221 The Dirty Palace

"After the child is gone, the Crown Princess is like a marionette these days. She will eat it and feed her medicine. But... she doesn't say a word for so many days. I am really afraid that if this continues, the Crown Princess will be good at all!" Luzhi said in front, and tears fell. "The Crown Princess has always listened to you the most, so you must persuade her!"

Yulan felt uncomfortable when he heard this: "Have the prince not seen her?"

Luzhi couldn't help but feel resentment: "The prince only visited him once on the first day of the accident, and never came again." Not only did he never come, he spent half of his time resting in Yuxia's side hall. "The prince... not only was he not sad at all, but he seemed very happy."

The prince's original position was in danger, but now the emperor has temporarily extinguished his desire to dethrone and establish his own country. Of course, the prince is happy.

Of course, the princess’ miscarriage was the happiest thing about Yuxia. She wanted to beat drums and drums to tell the world. Luzhi gritted her teeth when she thought of her.

The green branches led Yu Lan into Yu Xin's bedroom, and the room was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine. There were more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs standing like wooden sculptures in the hall, no one made any noise. The whole palace was as empty as a tomb.

Yu Xin was lying in the bed tent of the golden embroidered phoenix, wearing a beautiful body, but her eyes were empty and unconscious. Seeing someone entering the bedroom, her eyes didn't turn around. It seemed to be blind to the person coming. After only a few days, Yu Xin's cheeks were sunken, and she was as thin as if she had been dehydrated.

Green branch walked over and attached it to her ear and said, "Empress, Mrs. Anguo is here to see you!"

Yu Xin's eyes rolled, and finally she felt a little vitality, as if she had been recognizing Yu Lan for a long time: "Sister Qi, you are here!" After all, the sisterly love is deep, so it would be better for Yu Xin to talk to Yu Lan. Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little happy when she saw it.

I was afraid that Yu Xin would hold everything in her heart, even if she cried, she would be better off after soothing the depression in her heart. Lu Zhi called the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the palace to quietly retreat, and closed the door of the palace, allowing the two of them to speak alone.

Yulan almost cried when she saw her like this. But she tried hard to hold it back. When she cried, Yuxin would definitely cry. She had just miscarried, but she couldn't cry.

Yulan sat beside her, held her hand, and choked and said, "Good sister, I should have come a long time ago. I suffered from a cold a few days ago, afraid that I would get sick and give you the disease. This is why I have been delayed until today to see you."

Yu Xin nodded: "I don't blame you!"

Yulan saw the once energetic eight girls who had become alive and despicable, and was as heartbroken as a living dead: "Why did you become like this? I know that you feel sad if your child is gone, but you are still so young, so you should think more about the future!"

Yu Xin smiled, although she was smiling, her smile seemed very ferocious and terrifying: "In the future? What else can I have? The imperial doctor has said that within five years, I will never be pregnant again. Even in this life, I will never be pregnant!"

Yulan could understand her. She originally liked King Zhao. She had no choice but to marry the prince for various reasons. She endured such a huge humiliation and disgust and finally got pregnant. She thought she could live on her children in the future, but now she still has nothing left!

You can't blame Yu Xin for being weak in will and falling into despair! Even if she were herself, she might have collapsed!

But the problem is that the harem is now in a crisis step by step, and there is no difference between the enemy and me, and no one can help her. Yulan is outside the palace and is beyond the reach. If Yu Xin refuses to cheer up, she may not know how she dies.

Yulan grabbed her arm anxiously and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister knows that you are suffering, but you must cheer up. The prince doesn't care about you, you have to take good care of yourself. You are so depressed now that you will only make your relatives hurt and your enemies! Those who harm your children may continue to harm you. If you don't cheer up and manage the palace affairs properly, you will not even know how you die!"

Yu Xin murmured, "Let them go. As long as I am now, it's not worth dying!"

Yulan persuaded him a few more words, but Yuxin still looked depressed. Yulan couldn't help but feel anxious and shouted: "Yang Yuxin, I misread you!"

No one knows how strong Yu Xin’s self-esteem is as a legitimate daughter. But when she heard such words, she almost turned a deaf ear. Yu Lan was also secretly surprised. She grabbed her shoulder hard and used her last trick - a provocation method.

"It doesn't matter if you die, but have you ever thought about what they should do, Green Branches, Green Ruins, and the nannies who came with you from the Yang family, those who survived with you? Do you want to watch them bury with you? If this is the case, I can only say that they are blind and the wrong master!"

"And... you are the legitimate daughter of the Yang family. As long as you are the crown princess, no one can do anything to the Yang family? But if you are finished, the Yang family will definitely be implicated. What should the master and the wife do then? What should the old lady do? They have loved you for so long, so how are you repaying them?"

Yulan felt Yu Xin's shoulders trembling. Yu Xin also understood these things, but the blow of losing her child was too great, and she could not be excited because of such a few words of excitement.

Yulan lit her forehead: "Yang Yuxin, look at Yuxia again. Her biological mother died and she was sent to the temple herself. The situation was not much better than you! But she did not admit defeat. No matter how despicable she did, the final result was that she appeared in the East Palace and shared a prince with you!"

"You want to take a step back now and don't care about anything! I can tell you what the result is! If you can't be pregnant within five years, she will try every way to take away the management power of the East Palace from you first, and then she will make every woman in the East Palace unable to give birth to a child until three years later, when her filial piety period is over, she will give birth to a child, and then she will step on you to the position!"

Yulan stared in her eyes and said, "Although Aunt Liu died because of me, you are always the person she hates the most! Because she is jealous of you! Because you have everything as soon as you were born! You don't have to do anything, and countless people will hold you and help you! But she can only try her best to please the master, and what she gets in that way is far inferior to you!"

"The reason why she tried her best to enter the Eastern Palace even though she knew she could not be the official concubine was because she looked down on you. She thought you were reckless and could be bullied. It was very good! You gave her a chance now, and it won't take long to stand in front of you and spit her saliva on your face!"

"If you are really a coward, you can wait for one day when she steps your face into the mud!"

A flush surged on Yu Xin's face. "This bitch! I will never let her succeed!" She grabbed the silk quilt in the tent, as hard as she grabbed Yuxia's face.

Yulan breathed a sigh of relief. She finally aroused Yuxin's anger in this extreme way and awakened her fighting spirit. Just as the person Yuxia hated the most was always Yuxin, and the person Yuxin hated the most was always Yuxia. She would defend her power, honor and dignity like a fighter.

Yulan sat down and drank a sip of tea. She had never said so many things at once. Now her throat was still smoking. Yuxin had just miscarried and she was not excited at first, but Yulan had no choice. She could not enter the palace often. If she could not arouse her fighting spirit quickly, she would accumulate in her heart and feel as if she was ashamed. Maybe it would not take long for Yuxin to lose her life.

It is really a forced way to fight poison with poison.

Fortunately, Yu Xin finally listened to it. What should I do next is not necessary for Yu Lan to teach her.

During these five years, the prince could not have a son. No matter which concubine gave birth to a son, she would be taken to Yuxin's palace to raise him and give him a legitimate title. As long as Yuxin raises the child safely, although she is not a biological child, she will have a support in the future.

It was lunch time, Yulan specially stayed to accompany Yuxin to have a meal. After the meal, the two of them discussed a few more words. Luzhi saw that Yuxin was finally alive and almost burst into tears. She thought to herself that the seventh aunt had a solution. So, the princess was persuaded by her again.

Yulan comforted, "After all, the eighth sister is still young, and it is not impossible to have a child after five years." Even if the child born by Yu Xin is younger than the children of other concubines, he is still a legitimate child. The legitimate child is much higher than the fairy child in status.

Yu Xin showed a sarcastic smile on her lips: "Even if I can give birth, I will never give birth to a child for such a heartless person!"

Yu Lan was silent. The prince’s character is really beyond help!

After lingering in Yuqing Palace for another hour, Yulan reluctantly left here. With Yulan talking with her, Yuxin's mood improved a lot. Before leaving, Yuxin also said to her: "Come and see me more when you have time. You are the only one who can talk to me in the whole family." The other sisters have also come in to see me several times. Perhaps because of their identity differences, they were all timid when they saw Yuxin, and there was no intimacy between the sisters.

Yulan naturally agreed in a loud voice, and then instructed Luzhi to stare at Yuxin to take medicine every day, warm and nourish her every day without interruption, and stared at Yuqing Palace with wide eyes. If there was any major problem that could not be solved, he would send someone to the Jin Palace to find her, and it was all the time.

Until he returned to the palace, Yulan's heart was still very irritated. After taking a nap, a girl came in outside and said that Ma Fu and Ma General asked for a meeting.

Yulan was slightly stunned. General Ma Fu was in charge of all matters in the entire palace. In a sense, it was more important than the princess in the inner courtyard. His busyness can also be described as a daily business. What is there to see her?

It was not appropriate to meet Ma Fu in the main courtyard, so Yulan asked to open Jiaqing Hall and separate it with a bead curtain. She was inside and Ma Fu was outside. She brought a few more girls, so it was not rude.

Ma Fu respectfully bowed to her and explained her purpose in a few polite words. It turned out that Yulan handed over the money he had given the dowry to Ma Fu a few days ago and asked him to help him buy some industries. Ma Fu had already done it and came to Yulan to pay the job with a stack of land deeds and house deeds.

Yulan didn't expect Ma Fu to get this done so soon. He is worthy of being the butler of the King of Jin's Mansion. This kind of action ability is really a thumbs up.

Yulan took the stack of house deeds from Xiaoyue and looked carefully. Ma Fusu stood by his hand with respect, waiting for her inquiry with respect. Without any slightest reassurance, Yulan was very satisfied with his attitude.

Yulan looked carefully. There were four farms in total, each with dozens of hectares of large size, six shops, rice shops, silk shops, and pawn shops. The fields were all good fertile fields, paddy fields and dry fields. The shops were also very good. As long as the shopkeeper was not stupid, people with normal IQs could always make a lot of money in a year with such a shop.

Yulan was deeply satisfied. After being satisfied, he was a little worried. Yulan still knew a lot about the price at this time. It would be impossible to buy these things if she had done her dowry of 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver. To put it bluntly, it was impossible. It would be almost the same if it was twice as much! Isn’t this chief manager forced to buy and sell under the banner of the royal family? The purpose was to please her, the new princess?

But if such a thing gets worse, the face of the royal family will be lost.

Yulan didn't want to have such a profit-oriented impression in front of the prince because of this matter.

"Master General Ma!" Yu Lan said with a careful speech.

Ma Fu took the lead and said respectfully: "What are the instructions for the princess?"

Yulan tried his best to make his words tactful: "First of all, it's really hard for you to buy such a family business for me in such a short time. I have thanked you solemnly here."

Ma Fu quickly said humbly: "It is a blessing for villains to be able to do things for the princess. How can you dare to be a princess? "

After the two of them had finished politely, Yulan said: "But these shops and farms are either in excellent locations or in extremely fertile land. I am worried that 70,000 or 80,000 yuan is not enough... My business is just a trivial matter, but the reputation of the royal family is unfair. Look, if there is anything wrong with it, I dare not ask for these things!"

Ma Fu was surprised when he heard this. He had almost nothing to do with this princess. He only heard on weekdays that she was a kind master. He treated her servants very generously, had a good education, and was kind. Unexpectedly, she was quite familiar with common affairs and had such a great vision. At a glance, she could tell that these industries were not as good as her dowry money. The most valuable thing is that she had a long-term vision and had a great view of the overall situation. If she had a shallow eye, she wouldn't be crazy to get so many industries. She was all her own dowry and her private property!

Ma Fu couldn't help but look up at the princess.

He said in a deep voice: "The princess is extremely worried! It is all villains who are not doing things well and do not bring the contract to you in one go. This is what the princess misunderstood. Every field and every shop here are bought at a reasonable market price, and the government has guaranteed it. There is no problem. The villains are also people who have done old chores, so they definitely dare not take the risk with the face of the princess. Princess, don't worry!"

Ma Fu said confidently. Yulan couldn't help but wonder: "Then the deficit of these silver?"

Ma Fu smiled and said, "It was the prince who asked the villain to withdraw tens of thousands of taels of silver from the general account to complete the deficit. The young man thought the prince had already known you. The prince was busy with military affairs and forgot it for a moment, which was also possible!"

"Ah?" Yulan asked subconsciously: "Why..." He suddenly gave me so much money?

Ma Fu smiled but said nothing, thinking that there is nothing strange about this. The prince is rich, so he will give him whoever he likes. He likes you so much, so what is the point of giving you some money! Isn’t the prince a such a person? If you like it, you can’t help but hold her to the sky; if you don’t like it, step into the mud, and stomp a few more feet!

What's more, tens of thousands of silver are a huge amount in your mind, and the prince doesn't even see it!

Yulan was still not relieved and asked Ma Fu to read all the contract books one by one. Seeing that the standard price inside was indeed very fair, she had to believe it. After rough calculations, the prince had at least 80,000 taels of silver for her in these industries.

Eighty thousand taels of silver piled together can make a mountain. As the saying goes, if you don’t receive any reward, Yulan feels that he is under great pressure.

When Ye Yichen came back in the evening, he saw his little wife making luck in front of a stack of house deeds and land deeds. He looked very cute with a frown. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at you, a little money fan, this thing makes you so happy!"

Yulan raised his head and thought to himself, Prince, who is your eye, please be happy to see me!

Yulan shook the bill worth more than 100,000 yuan in his hand and asked, "Prince, what do you mean? It's so good, why did you suddenly give me so much money?" Just one question, what's your purpose? Come with the real tricks as soon as possible!

Seeing her nervous look, the prince suddenly laughed: "That little money is worth your nervousness like this? I'll give you more, what's the point! If you feel sorry for it..." The prince quietly lowered his voice: "If you go to bed in the evening, you can compensate me more and have a son as soon as possible."

That night, Yulan was really working very hard on the bed, and afterwards, Ye Yichen smiled in the quilt with his head down for a quarter of an hour: "You little greedy man!"

Yulan's face turned red with shame and swung his pillow to beat Ye Yichen.

While complaining in my heart: The magic of money is so huge, even my sister was bribed!

After the two had a long time of trouble, Yulan suddenly remembered something. The general account of the royal mansion could easily allocate 80,000 silver liquid funds. How much money is there on the royal mansion's books?

Yulan pulled open Ye Yichen's quilt covered with face and asked him seriously: "Ye Yichen, tell me, how much money is there in our palace?" She is now favored by Ye Yichen and her courage is getting stronger and stronger. She herself forgot when it starts. Where there is no one, she dares to call Ye Yichen's name directly.

Ye Yichen saw Yu Lan's eyes shining like a curious cat. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can I know these common things? If you want to know, it's simple. Ask Ma Fu to take the general account of the mansion and show it to you!"

Chengqian Palace.

It was already very deep in the night. There were only a few red candles burning in the hall, and they could only shine on a few areas. The hall seemed very dark.

Concubine Xiao sat high on the throne, wearing very neat makeup. She was neatly neatly ignored by the emperor these days, and the twelve palaces in the East and West were rumored, but Concubine Xiao was already calm and composed.

At least, her position has not been reduced. The emperor is already a person of this age. It doesn’t matter whether she favors Concubine Xiao or not. As long as she is still the deputy queen of the harem and has the right to assist in the six palaces, as long as her son is still the emperor’s beloved King Zhao, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The eldest aunt pushed the door and walked in, stood beside Concubine Hui, and whispered: "Empress, the little hoof has finally taken the bait!" There was an unconcealed excitement in her tone.

Concubine Xiao was also happy, but she didn't bring it out. She just said lightly: "After all our efforts were not wasted."

The eldest aunt stepped forward and helped her up. Concubine Xiao had a cold smile on her lips: "Let's go, let's go to Xianfu Palace to see what shameful things Yi Guiren, whom the emperor has so favored recently, is doing now!"

Guiren Yi lives in Xianfu Palace. Because he is not the lord of the first palace, Guiren Yi is not qualified to live in the main hall and can only live in the side hall. The emperor has been very fond of her recently, so he issued a series of orders asking people to renovate the remote Xianfu Palace and move Guiren Yi to Xianfu Palace.

Because Xianfu Palace is remote, there is naturally no master. Therefore, although Guiren Yi still lives in the side hall, he does not need to look at other people's faces, which shows that the emperor's love for her is very important.

Concubine Xiao brought a large group of palace maids and eunuchs into Xianfu Palace. Four palace maids and two eunuchs patrolled in front of the small Buddhist temple next to the side hall. When she saw Concubine Xiao, she was shocked.

They were serving Guiren Yi in close proximity, so they naturally knew that Guiren was having sex with the guards in the small Buddhist temple inside. Guiren Yi did not dare to go with the guards in the bedroom, so they chose the small Buddhist temple. They thought they were unaware of it, but somehow they were all known by Concubine Xiao.

Concubine Xiao happened to pick up this time and brought a large number of people. She looked aggressive and her purpose was self-evident. She was to catch the evildoer! As long as she was Zhang Yang out of this kind of thing, these people would be the ending of Ling Chi's death. How could they not be afraid!

These people knelt on the ground and shouted tremblingly: "Empress!"

Concubine Xiao didn't say nonsense and said directly: "Bind it up and stuff it with her mouth, don't let them alarm others!"

Several eunuchs with big strength and round waist rushed up, tied them up in a few seconds, and stuffed their mouths with rags.

Concubine Xiao signaled, and the two eunuchs stepped forward and pushed the door of the small Buddhist temple hard, but they didn't push it open all at once. Someone replied: "Empress, someone locked inside!"

Concubine Xiao said lightly: "Break the door open!" This place is remote and you are not afraid of being known. Several eunuchs with great strength came forward and smashed the door open in a few seconds.

The eldest aunt took the lantern and walked in first. The small Buddhist temple was not large in size. There were a few clothes for men and women scattered on the ground, so no one could hide. The two figures behind the curtain were revealed.

The eldest aunt stepped forward and pulled the curtain down, and saw that there was indeed a man and a woman hidden behind her. The woman was naturally the Concubine Yi, who was deeply loved by the emperor recently. The man was muscular and looked like a guard.

Both of them were naked and invisible. Under the light of the eldest aunt, an unknown light flashed in the man's eyes, but Guiren Yi screamed. His horror expression was engraved on her face very vividly.
