Chapter 240 Hailan endured poisoning for 3 years
Hailan was filled with resentment and had no place to vent it. From afar, she saw Jinzhong and Yongjing coming over.
Yongjing was completely clueless, and Jinzhong gave him a piece of candy. Yongjing ate the candy without knowing what was going on.
Hai Lan took two steps at a time and came up to the group of people.
Jinzhong did not stop Hailan from contacting Yongjing. Hailan held Yongjing in her arms with tears in her eyes.
"Yongjing, Yongjing."
Hailan kept calling Yongjing, but this did not make Hailan feel comfortable.
"Hey, Thirteenth Prince, what happened to your hand?"
Jinzhong secretly glanced at Hailan, and Hailan also looked at Yongjing's little hand.
There was a tiny pinhole on Yongjing's little hand, and a layer of light white powder. Jinzhong gently scraped the powder off Yongjing's hand.
"But you spilled the caramel on your hands. How naughty."
Jinzhong gently blew away the icing on Yongjing's hands, and deliberately asked Hailan to see the same white icing on the malt candy that Yongjing was eating.
Hailan knew very well that it was not malt sugar but the alum she had applied on Yongjing, and there was still a thin layer left.
Hailan felt even more guilty and hugged Yongjing tightly.
"Yongjing, it's all Empress Yu's fault. It's all Empress Yu's fault."
Hailan felt so guilty that she could only keep talking about her guilt.
"Concubine Yu, I have to send the Thirteenth Prince to the Imperial Clan House. Please don't make it difficult for me. The Emperor has already allowed Rong Pei to take care of the Thirteenth Prince. He specifically said that if anything happens to the Thirteenth Prince, Rong Pei must be killed without a burial place."
Hailan wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"Do you really need Rong Pei to take care of you?
Rong Pei must be hating..."
"Forget it, send him away."
Hai Lan wanted to say that Rong Pei must hate Ruyi, but she couldn't say that. If she said that, she would have to publicly admit that Yongjing was not the emperor but his bloodline.
Hai Lan didn't believe it. Even though she saw Ruyi and Ling Yunche were thinking about each other, she still didn't believe it.
She couldn't admit it verbally, so Hai Lan told herself that she had to endure it until she had a chance to vindicate Ruyi and to take the Thirteenth Prince out of the clan house.
Hailan endured it for three years.
Inside the Yanxi Palace, a young maid called out to Hailan who was sewing clothes.
"My Lord, are you still not going to pay respects to the Imperial Concubine today?"
There were several thick cotton-padded clothes piled up beside Hailan, and on the other side was a palace dress with the cotton lining removed.
Hailan looked up at the snow outside the window.
"It's snowing again. It's been three years. These three years have passed so slowly."
"No. If I have time to curry favor with Wei Yanwan, I'd rather make some winter clothes for my sister. This winter is so cold, it seems to be colder than the past two years."
"I made winter clothes for my sister and I have other things to do."
Hailan looked around and carefully counted the winter clothes behind her.
Yanwan gave birth to twin princes in the second year after Ruyi was deposed. Yanwan was really lucky, as the princes she gave birth to were two completely different children.
Originally, the royal family was most averse to having twins, but Yan Wan gave birth to two completely different ones, so they were just arranged in the order of birth. It didn't affect anything else.
Hai Lan originally wanted to hide her edge, and after Yan Wan gave birth to two princes, she said she was not feeling well and did not go to pay her respects to Yan Wan.
The emperor was unwilling to see her and granted Hai Lan's request.
In the past two years, Hai Lan has been staying in the Yanx Palace. During the four seasons, except for the needs of the twelfth prince, all the other things in the Yanx Palace were given to Ruyi and the thirteenth prince.
"The one for my sister needs to be ripped out of its cotton lining, so the one for Yongjing has to be ripped out again."
Hailan looked at the only cotton coat behind her.
The maid dissuaded Hailan and said:
"Master, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has given all the things that should be given to the master and the thirteenth prince. Although they are not good, they are complete.
You don’t have to do this every day. The ones you sent, the ones in Yikun Palace said the master didn’t want to wear them or use them, so they were all left there.”
“I really don’t know why the mistress won’t return it since she doesn’t want it.
You have already taken down all your winter clothes. If you take down more, you will have nothing to wear in the winter."
"How dare you! Don't criticize my sister."
The maid was clearly telling the truth, but Hai Lan didn't want to listen.
Ling Yunche was also executed that year. Hailan did not tell Ling Yunche what she should have told him. Ruyi didn't know where she got the news from, and since then, she would not see Hailan whenever she came.
Hailan sent the flowing things to Yikun Palace. Yanwan did not ask anyone to stop her.
But Ruyi was resentful of Hailan in her heart. She collected all the things, but just left them there without using them.
Ruyi didn't want to know where the things Hailan gave her came from. She was just angry.
A cold wind blew, and Hailan felt a little cold. The charcoal fire in her palace was for Ruyi, and the rest was for Yongqi. There was only one charcoal fire in the huge Yanxi Palace.
Hailan's hands were numb from the cold, so she had to put down her needlework.
"Who did the emperor invite for lunch today? Was it Lingzhi again?
The Emperor has rarely called Wei Yanwan recently."
Hailan remembered that the emperor had been calling Lingzhi for a month.
If the emperor doesn't call Wei Yanwan anymore, she will have to think of a way.
The Lingzhi that Hailan mentioned had given birth to a princess that year and was now deeply loved by the emperor. She had long been named a noble lady, but Hailan felt that Lingzhi was a traitorous slave and refused to acknowledge her identity.
The maid hesitated.
"It's not Noble Lady Zhi today. She's pregnant again. It's the Imperial Concubine who's having lunch with the Emperor. I heard that the Imperial Concubine specially asked the Imperial Kitchen to prepare pheasant soup. She's going to give it to the Emperor."
"The Imperial Concubine is now very prosperous. She is busy with the affairs of the six palaces and is pregnant again. She has not been to the Yangxin Palace for a long time. Although she is getting older now, the Emperor seems to be more and more obsessed with her."
The palace maid complained angrily, not noticing that Hai Lan was a little excited and nervous.
Hailan frowned slightly.
I hate Wei Yanwan in my heart.
"Okay, stop talking. The Imperial Concubine has always been a foxy woman. She has been favored for many years because of her tricks."
The little palace maid hesitated for a moment and said nothing.
She thought differently from Hai Lan. She felt that Hai Lan had become obsessed with protecting Ruyi.
It is obvious that Wei Yanwan managed everything in the six palaces in an orderly manner, was gentle and respectful in front of the emperor, and gave birth to children one after another. This is the fundamental reason why Wei Yanwan is favored by the emperor.
Hai Lan only said "coquettishly", she didn't quite agree with it, but she couldn't say it out loud. She just kept silent.
"I'm going to the imperial kitchen. Since there's pheasant soup, I should get a portion to nourish Yongqi."
The opportunity is right in front of her, Hailan is about to set off.
Hailan hadn't left the palace for a long time, and when she heard that she was going out, the little maid hurriedly got up and followed her.
"Master, I will follow you."
Hailan said indifferently.
"No need. I'll be back soon. You should prepare the cotton-padded clothes for my sister before I come back."
Hai Lan ordered the little palace maid to obey.
After Hai Lan arrived at the imperial kitchen, she used the excuse of asking Yongqi for some pheasant chicks and came to the pot of pheasant chick soup.
Hailan looked at the food box beside her with Yangxin Palace written on it. She took out the medicine powder from her sleeve and prepared to sprinkle it in.
