Wind and Rain Empire

Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong searched for possible food along the way, but after walking for a long time, they found nothing. At this time, Zi Linglong's stomach growled uncontrollably, and Lan Xueyi looked worried. look at her

"Linglong, have you been hungry for a long time?"

Zi Linglong nodded slightly

"I haven't remembered eating since I got off the boat, and I was already hungry when I found out"

Lan Xueyi apologized to Zi Linglong

"I'm sorry, Linglong, I forgot about this, there was still some dry food in the bag."

Zi Linglong patted Lan Xueyi's hand

"There's nothing we can do if we lose all our burdens, let's find something to eat now."

A fat rat ran past the two of them

Zi Linglong was startled, pointing and shouting

"mouse!"

Lan Xueyi quickly picked up the stones on the ground and flicked towards the mouse. The mouse was blown off its head and died. She walked over and picked up the mouse's tail

Ask Zi Linglong

"Eat this?"

Zi Linglong looked at the mouse and then at Lan Xueyi, asking

"Can this be eaten?"

Lan Xueyi carried the mouse's tail and continued to walk forward

"It's the only one that can be eaten or not, let's find some more."

Not long after, Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong walked towards Zhang Tianyu and the others with four strings of rats that had been processed.

Lan Xueyi distributed the other two to Zhang Tiancheng and Zhang Tianyu

"Bake it and eat it, it's better than nothing"

Zhang Tiancheng looked at the meat skewers and asked

"It's really possible, you two, you can still get meat... what is this?"

Lan Xueyi asked without changing expression

"I tell you it's a pheasant, do you believe it?"

Zhang Tiancheng carefully looked at the meat skewers and smelled them

"A pheasant has four legs?"

Lan Xueyi replied impatiently

"No, do you like to eat or not"

Zhang Tianyu picked it up and roasted it without saying a word, Zi Linglong and Lan Xueyi also sat by the campfire and roasted the mouse meat

After roasting for a while, Zi Linglong started to eat

Zi Linglong's surprised expression

"Hmm~! I didn't expect it to be delicious!"

Lan Xueyi looked at her with a smile

"You are hungry, everything is delicious"

Zhang Tianyu also took a sip, showing a surprised expression

“Honestly! It’s really delicious”

Zhang Tiancheng took a bite and thought it tasted good, so he continued to eat

Lan Xueyi looked at Zi Linglong

"Linglong, I'm sorry for you. I sent you into the palace at first, and now I let you eat this here. I really hate myself for not discovering your identity earlier..."

Zi Linglong shook her head

"Sister Xueyi, it's meaningless to talk about the past now. You saved me several times, but I can't repay you. The only comfort is that I can be by your side now, alive, and hungry. That's enough. Well, as for the current situation, it is my own choice, you don’t have to feel indebted.”

Zhang Tianyu couldn't help sighing

"Sister Linglong, it's really not easy for you to make such a choice. If you don't stay in the palace and eat delicacies from mountains and seas, you come here to eat rat meat. You are an expert."

Zhang Tiancheng was shocked

"What? Is this rat meat?"

So he quickly picked his throat and vomited

Lan Xueyi looked at Zhang Tiancheng

"Zhang Tiancheng, you are more disgusting than rat meat (looking at Zhang Tianyu) General Zhang, you deal with it"

Zhang Tianyu struck Zhang Tiancheng's neck with his palm, and Zhang Tiancheng passed out immediately

Imperial Palace Chunming Palace

Empress Yang, Concubine Shu and Concubine De are sitting in the inner hall drinking tea

Empress Yang looked at the stomachs of Concubine Shu and Concubine De

"How are the sisters raising their babies recently? Have you been taking the anti-fetal medicine sent by Ai's family?"

Concubine Shu replied

"The empress is thinking about it, how dare you not eat it, she just feels that this belly is as long as blowing, only two months seems to be as big as four or five months, how big will it be when it is four or five months Already?"

Empress Yang stroking Concubine Shu's belly

"This means that the fetus is so big because of its good growth (looks at Concubine De). Concubine De, your belly is smaller than Concubine Shu's."

Concubine De glanced at Concubine Shu

"Isn't that because the concubine doesn't eat as much as she does, and the baby in her stomach is only separated from the shit, so it can't be big? (To Concubine Shu) Don't bother to eat, don't you yourself say that it's been almost seven days? Didn’t excrete, still eat?”

Empress Yang looked at Concubine Shu in surprise

"What? You haven't excreted for nearly seven days? That's okay, hurry up and ask Doctor Zhang to come and prescribe a prescription for you."

Concubine Shu replied

"Empress, the prescription has been prescribed, and the medicine has been taken, but I have been told that it is not good for pregnant women to take this medicine. I am afraid that it will slip on the child. I am still waiting for it to come out by itself. I will take it after seven days."

Concubine De laughed aside

"That's right, you can't slide your child if you slide yourself, (Looking at the queen) Right, empress?"

Empress Yang looks at Concubine Shu

"Everything is based on the body. If your health is not good, the child will be bad. As for the medicine, you should take it as soon as possible. If the child is slippery or not, as long as there is a chance, you can conceive again in the future. You make yourself sick. It will be difficult to cure"

Concubine Shu looked at her stomach

"The empress said yes"

Hong Ling Xuan

The Maid vs. Hong Wan

"Ma'am, the queen is here"

Hong Wan sat up limply on the couch, put the incense aside, stretched out her hand and said to the maid:

"Understood, you give me a hand"

The maid helped Hong Wan up from the couch, helped Hong Wan tidy up her clothes, and walked out of the bedroom with Hong Wan on her hands

Empress Yang and her party brought four court ladies to Honglingxuan

Hong Wan stepped forward to salute

"Hong Wan pays homage to Empress Empress"

Empress Yang looked at Hong Wan and smiled

"Sister, don't be too polite, get up"

"Thank you queen"

Hong Wan stood up straight, fell backwards unsteadily, was supported by the maid

Empress Yang hurriedly supported her and asked

"What's wrong with my sister? Are you uncomfortable?"

"Go back to empress, this concubine has been incensed for a long time, and I'm just a little dizzy, it's okay."

"By the way, Ai's family was about to ask you, why don't you live in Ziyun Pavilion? Ai's family asked you for help."

Hong Wan's eyes are blank

"Seeing things and thinking about others, so I finally want to leave that sad place"

Empress Yang stepped forward and smelled

"But the Ai family smelled the fragrance on you, it seems to be the same kind that Zi Zhaorong used before, isn't it?"

Hong Wan sniffed her wrist

"Your Majesty, these two fragrances are not the same, but the taste is somewhat similar."

Empress Yang winked and asked the palace people to bring in the rewards

"The Ai family came today to give you a reward from the official. The official gave you a string of pearl necklaces, a jar of pearl powder, and thirty bolts of silk and satin of various kinds. They said they asked you to make more clothes." clothing"

Hong Wan blinked her eyes, feeling a little hazy, looking at Empress Yang

"Thank you, the official family, the Empress Dowager also specially came to see you off"

She didn't know why she couldn't stand still, and fell on Queen Yang, who hurriedly supported her

Empress Yang supported Hong Wan and smiled

"Sister's body is full of fragrance, even Aijia will be fascinated, then Aijia will send you back to the bedroom."

She looked at Hong Wan with deep meaning in her eyes.

Empress Yang put the dim-eyed, half-dream-like Hong Wan on the couch, and sat gently on the side of the couch.

The maid of Honglingxuan greeted her, and said to Empress Yang:

"Empress Empress, since Yan Meiren has passed out, let her servant serve her."

Empress Yang looked at the maid and asked in a low voice

"Are the incenses she used recently brought by Aijia?"

The maid looked at Zi Linglong and answered softly

"Back to your mother, that's right"

Empress Yang lowered her eyes and her voice became louder

"It's so good. This fragrance is said to have the effect of whitening and nourishing the skin. The Ai family also sees that Yan Meiren is getting clearer and clearer. I will continue to use it for Yan Meiren. If it is not enough, I will go to the Hall of Renming to get it."

The maid bowed her head

"Yes, ma'am"

Empress Yang stood up

"The Ai family has nothing else to do, you take good care of Yan Meiren, let her rest well, the Ai family is gone"

Queen Yang turned and left

maid salute

"Congratulations to send the Queen Mother!"

Hong Wan opened her eyes wide, looked at the maid, and asked

"The empress is gone?"

"Yes, beauty, the empress has left."

Hong Wan sat up

"She said the incense was taken from her?"

Maid shakes her head

"I don't know, I only know that the previous incense was given by the government. After burning it, the empress took some."

Hong Wan feels weird

"Then she still asked if Ben Gong's incense is the same as Zi Zhaorong's? Doesn't she know it best?"

"Beauty, this slave thinks that it is testing the beauty, do you know the origin of the incense?"

Hong Wan looked at the large box of incense placed on the cabinet and sighed

"Since it was sent by her, then Ben Gong (to the maid) don't tell her that I already know that this incense is sent by her, understand?"

"Slaves understand"

Empress Yang returned to Renming Hall, Zheng Xian and Chunhua were waiting in the hall

"Your Majesty, the stomachs of those two concubines..."

Zheng Xian stepped forward and asked

Empress Yang signaled her not to say more

"I haven't seen anything wrong yet, but that Yan Meiren..."

Chunhua hurriedly asked

"Is Yan Meiren's incense useful? I asked someone to bring it in from outside the palace."

"It can be seen that it has some effect, but it is not obvious. Maybe it is a reaction of her own weakness."

Empress Yang paced in the palace

"Now the government is busy, preparing for the Northern Expedition every day, and there is no free time to meet her. She is not my main threat, so just let her develop on her own."

Zheng Xian and Chunhua looked at each other

Hongling Xuanzhong

Hong Wan held the handkerchief that Zi Linglong had embroidered and looked at it, her slender fingers brushed over every thin line, Zi Linglong's voice and smile faintly appeared in front of her eyes

"There is nothing to love in life, and there is nothing to fear in death...is that right? Lady Zhaorong?"

She reached out and grabbed the scissors on the side to pierce her neck. After trembling for a while, she finally couldn't do it

Hong Wan put down the scissors, her eyes turned to the slowly burning incense, and the corners of her mouth twitched

"Sooner or later, you will die, why use such a slow method?"

She poured out all the incense in the box, and set up a pile of torches like firewood, watching the raging smoke spread

Hong Wan was so smoked that he coughed, and the originally elegant fragrance became more and more intense, turning into a strong burnt smell

"Farewell to the world I never loved"

Hong Wan smiled and slowly fell on the table

The maid ran in quickly after smelling the strange smell, and seeing that the incense had burned like firewood, she quickly extinguished the fire and covered Hong Wan's face with a handkerchief

Hong Wan gradually came to her senses, and saw the maid standing beside her

"Beauty, are you okay? You can't burn so much incense at once."

Seeing that she was speechless, Hong Wan turned her head away in a dazed and powerless manner, only silently shedding two lines of tears
