Early the next morning,
Qianlong went to the imperial court in high spirits, while Concubine Xiang lay on the bed in despair. She was like a delicate doll that had lost its vitality.
Consort Xiang really felt that there was no meaning in living now. Her entire life had been ruined last night. Now, there was no meaning in her life. She had no more reason to live now.
She sat up from the bed,
Concubine Xiang picked up the dagger hidden under the pillow,
She wanted to give herself an "end".
However, she was stopped by Vena Gina, who came to see her.
"Let go of me,
Let go of me,
Let me die! Let me die! "
Although she shouted that she wanted to die, Concubine Xiang still put down the dagger in her hand,
She cried and fell on the bed.
She had never been a person who had the courage to die. Otherwise, she would have died countless times on her way back to the capital.
If she was really determined to die,
She would not come to the capital. With how much Ali and Zhuo doted on her,
How could they be willing to let her lose her life like that?
In fact, to put it bluntly, she just did not dare to!
Even the elopement with Meng Dan before was because she was sure that even if she was caught, nothing would happen to her, so she dared to run away like that.
After crying for a while, Concubine Xiang slowly calmed down.
Now that things had come to this, all she could do was hide it from everyone and try her best to fight for the best situation for herself.
Usually, Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei were about to arrive at this time. Now she had to get up and not let Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei find out anything.
"I have to hide what happened last night from Huanzhu Ge and Mingzhu Ge,
Do you know? I can't let them know,
I have to hide it from them! "
The matter of the imperial concubines serving him in bed,
It was impossible to hide it from the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the imperial concubines in the harem, but it was still very easy to hide it from the two Ge Ge.
After all, they were just juniors. Who would tell the juniors about the imperial concubines serving them in bed? If they had their own mother, it would be fine, but they didn't!
Qianlong finally got what he wanted. In the following days, he naturally spent every night in Concubine Xiang's Bao Yue Tower.
Concubine Xiang had to deal with Qianlong's demands. She also had to hide it from Ziwei and Little Yanzi. She didn't want them to know. She didn't want Meng Dan, who was outside the palace, to find out. After a few days, she looked haggard. She looked weak and pitiful.
Little Swallow was a careless person to begin with, so it was natural that she did not notice.
As for Crape Myrtle, although he was attentive, he did not understand these things.
Moreover, because of those little thoughts in her heart, she instinctively disliked things like sleeping with a concubine or news of pregnancy. Subconsciously, she didn't listen to or think about it.
Therefore, both of them were kept in the dark by Consort Xiang.
In fact, recently, without Ziwei and Little Swallow discovering anything, the two of them had been blacklisted by all the concubines in the harem.
The two of them had always been labeled as Consort Ling's subordinates in the palace. After all, Little Swallow was recognized in Consort Ling's palace. After that, it was Consort Ling who had been in charge of the two of them.
Although the two of them were not under Consort Ling's name, Consort Ling had always been doing their mother's work.
Therefore, the two of them were Consort Ling's people.
But now, the two of them had turned to Consort Xiang after Consort Ling lost her child and her love.
Every day, they would go to Baoyue Tower to chat and laugh with Consort Xiang. Otherwise, the three of them would stroll around the imperial garden. All of them were dressed to attract flowers and butterflies. Needless to say, they really attracted butterflies.
Although everyone was shocked by Consort Xiang's ability to attract butterflies, they were more on guard.
The definition of Little Swallow and Ziwei was that they were ingrates who could not be raised properly.
While mocking Consort Ling for "losing the wife and losing the army," they were even more determined to not interact with Little Swallow and Xia Ziwei in the future.
Such ingrates, with their "whoever feeds them is their mother," who knew when they would stab them in the back.
However, this had no effect on Little Swallow and Ziwei, who did not know anything.
It had to be known that they had been very busy recently because Ali and Zhuo had finally left. Their big plan was about to begin.
In the end, they set the date of their "big plan" to be carried out on the empress's "Millennium Day."
There would be a banquet on that day. There would be many people entering the palace. They could dress Consort Xiang as a eunuch and take her out of the palace.
The next day, they would say that Consort Xiang had turned into a butterfly and flown away.
Over the years, even though the empress's health was not good and she could not even sleep with him, the emperor still valued the empress very much.
On the first and fifteenth of every month, even if the empress could not sleep with him, Qianlong would stay in Kun Ning Palace.
Every time there was a major festival or important day, Qianlong would stay in Kun Ning Palace.
Therefore, they could be sure that on the empress's "Millennium Day," the emperor would stay in Kun Ning Palace and would not go to Baoyue Tower. This way, they could take Consort Xiang away without worrying about being discovered.
Thinking that she could leave soon, Consort Xiang felt relief, fear, confusion about the future, and a trace of reluctance.
After all, after leaving, she would never see that person again.
Their actions were not secretive. In addition, Siya had people pay attention to them. Naturally, it was easy to discover their "big plan."
At the same time, she knew that they were preparing to take action on her empress's "Millennium Day."
Although she did not really regard Empress Nara as her mother, Empress Nara had loved her for more than ten years. Siya naturally had some feelings for her.
Qianlong was a scum. Although he respected Empress Nara very much now, that was because Empress Nara had no interest in him now.
With Qianlong's current infatuation with Consort Xiang, Siya believed that if he knew that Consort Xiang took the opportunity to escape during Empress Nara's "Millennium Day," Qianlong would definitely vent his anger on Empress Nara.
She did not expect that Fifth Elder Brother and the others dared to set their sights on her empress's "Millennium Day." They were really looking for death.
Since that was the case, then don't blame her for being impolite.
Originally, in this life, Empress Nara was not going to make trouble for them. She even vaguely warned Imperial Concubine Shu, who had always disliked them, not to make trouble for them.
At the same time, she did not send people to Jinan to find Ziwei's uncle and aunt to give false testimony. Therefore, in the future, Ziwei and Little Yanzi's prison should have been saved by the butterfly.
Unfortunately, they had to court death and angered Siya. Their future was destined to be gloomy.
Although the empress was not favored, she was respected by the emperor. She had two sons and two daughters.
The daughters were very favored, and the sons were also very valued by the emperor.
Therefore, the empress's "Millennium Day" was very grand.
Who told them to have an emperor who liked luxury!
Little Yanzi and Ziwei sat below and looked at the empress sitting high up on the throne. They muttered something in a low voice.
Although the two of them had been in the palace for so long, they had only seen the empress once when the emperor appointed them to a marriage and appointed them titles.
At that time, the empress's health was not good. She only said a few words to them and sent them away.
In the days after that, they never saw the empress again. After all, in their knowledge, there was no such thing as paying respects.
"I didn't expect the empress to be so beautiful. She doesn't look like a woman who has given birth to three children at all."
Little Yanzi had seen many women who had given birth among the people. Those women all became very fat after giving birth. They all looked like pigs. She had never seen a woman who was still so beautiful at the empress's age after giving birth.
The empress's "Millennium Day" naturally invited all the clan relatives and civil and military officials. Therefore, the empress naturally had to dress up and attend.
When she wore a full set of court clothes, she naturally looked very graceful and luxurious.
"The empress is the niece of the former emperor who was filial to the empress. When she was young, she was known as the 'First Beauty of Man Meng'. Her appearance is naturally very beautiful."
Ziwei looked at the woman sitting high up on the throne. She looked at her empress sitting with that woman and then looked at today's grand banquet. Her heart was full of grief.
Her mother was also a very beautiful woman when she was young.
Although she was not as bright and luxurious as the empress, she had a scholarly aura that others did not have.
Later, because she missed her empress, she had a kind of touching hidden bitterness and sorrow.
Later, her mother was tortured by longing and began to age early. She no longer had the beauty when she was young.
Looking at the beautiful concubines, there were many people who were older than her mother, but they were still so young and beautiful.
"Beauty is not old yet, kindness is broken first."
Was it because of this that her mother did not come to the capital to find her empress and would rather die alone by the Daming Lake?
Was there really no eternal love in this world?
What about herself?
Would she and Er Kang be the same?
No, it would not!
She and Er Kang were really in love, and there were no obstacles between them. She would not end up like her mother!
Er Kang would not stop loving her because of the change in her appearance. They loved each other's souls deeply!
That day, after the banquet, Qianlong accompanied the empress back to Kun Ning Palace.
After confirming that the emperor would stay in Kun Ning Palace tonight, Concubine Xiang changed into the clothes of a little eunuch, got on the carriage with the fifth elder brother, and drove to the palace gate.
They went all the way to the palace gate without any obstruction, but they were stopped by the guards at the gate.
"Don't you know who I am? Hurry up and get out of my way! "
Because they had to make sure that the empress would not go to Baoyue House tonight, and then they had to wait for Concubine Xiang to change clothes, they were already late.
Looking at the people who stopped his carriage, the fifth elder brother spoke a little loudly because he was in a hurry to leave and because of his guilty conscience. It felt like he was bluffing.
"It turned out to be the fifth elder brother. Fifth elder brother, good luck! It's very late now. It will be time soon! You still want to go out at this time? "
"The fifth elder brother wants to go out of the palace to help Huanzhu send some things to her friends outside the palace. Hurry up and get out of my way."
Concubine Xiang used the staff card of Shufang Zhai's Little Deng, so it was reasonable to say that he was helping Huanzhu.
Moreover, Fu Erkang was also worried that there would be more problems, so he did not think much and said so directly.
The guards listened to Fu Erkang's words, and they were speechless.
An emperor's elder brother actually went to help a little hooligan. He was really drunk!
It was this kind of elder brother that had once won the emperor's favor!
Fortunately, the emperor now "realized his error" and valued the Twelve elder brothers more. Otherwise, he would really be worried about the future of the Qing Dynasty.
"Fifth elder brother, it's really over today. It's almost time to close the door. Do you think you should —"
"What do you mean by late? It's not time to close the palace gate, right? Do I need you to teach me how to do things? Hurry up and get out of my way! "
Fu Erkang was in a hurry to go out. He did not wait for the guards to finish speaking, nor did he care that the guards were talking to the fifth elder brother. He hurriedly opened his mouth and interrupted them.
