Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C195
“A quilt made by a mandarin duck in the water?” Jin Xiaolou suddenly said. The blanket sounded extremely familiar.
When he thought about it later, these diagrams were common, and hearing familiarity was natural.
“That’s right!” Feng Luanjun then continued, “I will have my subordinates bring me to the village and find the family that stole the quilt.”
“That’s a new hunter. His surname is Wei and he just arrived at a nearby village.”
As soon as Feng Luanjun finished his sentence, Jin Xiaolou suddenly remembered something, and said: “Wei Shou Hu!”
This Wei Hu, Jin Xiaolou could still remember, that when Gui Zhi was framed and infected by the plague, the two of them were cut off by people from Wellhead Village, and the house that they lived in was called the Wei Hu’s house.
He was alone and did not like to socialize with others. After living for a short while, he disappeared without a trace, so no one was familiar with him.
Only, later on, Gui Zhi hugged Lin’er and used the Wei Hu’s small quilt, which was the quilt for mandarins to bathe in water!
When they were seen by the He Niang, they had even used 500 gold coins to exchange for it!
Jin Xiaolou’s heart was thumping hard. She felt that the answer she was looking for was extremely close to her.
But now, it seemed as if he was far off in the distance.
“It’s indeed the Wei Shou Hu!” Feng Luanjun reached there, “I didn’t expect him to be so good at it when he saw that we had taken the quilt, and even knocked over a few of us, making us unable to get up.”
“It was only when I told you that it was my sister’s personal item that Wei Xinghu finally calmed down. He looked fixedly at me for a long time before he finally opened his mouth to speak.”
“What did he say?” Jin Xiaolou could not wait and asked.
Feng Luanjun took a deep breath: “He said that I will still keep the blanket. I can tell you half about Luanying.”
“He said he only told me half because he only knew half.”
The half that Wei Xing Hu had told Feng Luanjun just happened to be linked with the last letter written by Luanying.
When Luanying was working as a manager and palace maid in the Yu Le Plaza, Wei Shou Hu was also one of the palace’s Imperial Guard, he could walk within the inner palace with his identity token.
To Luanying, his acquaintance with Luanying was a beautiful fortuitous encounter, but to Guard Wei Wei, it was a deliberate plan.
He did not do it for himself, but because he had listened to his master’s arrangements.
His master, was the person with the highest Great Zhou, the master of the entire world.
When the Emperor summoned Imperial Guard Wei to the imperial study, Imperial Guard Wei was also trembling with fear. However, what the Emperor said next made him even more puzzled.
The Emperor wanted him to approach a small palace maid in the music workshop. He wanted her to secretly approve of him.
All the women in the palace belonged to the emperor, and the adultery between the guards and palace maids were even more of a deadly crime. Guard Wei couldn’t understand why the emperor wanted him to seduce a palace maid, not to mention a small and unknown palace maid.
However, even if he didn’t understand the emperor’s orders, he could only follow them. Even though Guard Wei had a childhood sweetheart waiting for him to get married, he still had to do it.
Guard Wei began to run to the music shop day after day. How could the young girl endure the love of a lover? Within a few days, the two of them were entangled.
It was also at this time that the Emperor gave the order that Luanying’s Jade Zither should be played well. The imperial concubine was depressed, so she transferred Luanying to the Blue Pepper Palace to serve the imperial concubine.
Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was good to the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine’s reverence and love was even the first. Being able to go to the Hall of Pepper Orchid and serve the imperial concubine was a blessing that came from eight lifetimes.
Not only was everyone envious, their status had also skyrocketed, and their monthly salary had also increased by several folds.
But the moment Luanying saw the noble imperial concubine with his own eyes, she was completely shocked.
It was not because of the imperial concubine’s heavenly appearance or her devastatingly beautiful appearance, rather, it was because she had seen this face countless times, at her homeland, the Yao Xi.
Although the two of them looked the same, their temperaments were vastly different.
This matter was like a fish bone stuck in Luanying’s heart. The more he came into contact with the imperial concubine, the more he felt that they looked exactly the same.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, the moment he made a move, Luanying believed that they were two completely different people.
Finally, Luanying told this matter to Guard Wei, who naturally reported it to the emperor.
Inside the imperial study, the emperor was sitting on the seat of honor. When he heard Guard Wei said that Luanying thought that the two looked exactly the same, he smiled and said: “Very good.”
Afterwards, the emperor asked Guard Wei to ask Luanying more about the noble concubine’s words and deeds, inquired into every detail and expression on her face, and then informed the emperor one by one.
At that time, Guard Wei had already guessed what the Emperor was planning to do.
Especially when Luanying started to say that she felt that there were a lot of weird things about Imperial Concubine recently. There were a lot of things that she didn’t like to do before, and now she liked to do them. What was even weirder was that once, the Imperial Concubine’s mouth was wide open as she yawned.
She looked just like a little girl in the mountains. She didn’t have the slightest trace of the noble concubine’s usual dignified and graceful temperament …
It was just that sometimes was strange, sometimes was very normal, making Luanying feel like she was being scratched by a cat.
In this way, from the end of February to the end of May, the Imperial Consort seemed to have returned to her usual state of indifference.
Luanying’s heart was at ease, but there were two things that Wei Bian still couldn’t understand.
Firstly, the imperial concubine and the Emperor had always loved and respected each other. The two of them walked together since the time when the Emperor was young, and even if they obtained the throne, it was thanks to the help of the people from the Gao Family. The emperor should have doted on the imperial concubine, but on the surface, the emperor had indeed done so. He had specially built an extremely luxurious Blue Pepper Hall for the imperial concubine, giving her a status that no one in the imperial harem was allowed to share.
But behind her back, she was actually looking for someone to imitate Imperial Concubine Gao, as if she wanted to thoroughly replace her …
The second point was, how could the Emperor find him and Luanying, these two people who were like mayflies in the imperial palace, to do such an important thing?
The first point was something that Feng Luanjun could not figure out until he found the Wei Wei Wei Hu, but the second point was quickly understood by Guard Wei Wei.
The night Luanying told him that she was pregnant.
Imperial Guard Wei tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He got up in the middle of the night to write a letter, then left his room in order to find someone to bring him out of the palace.
Just as he was about to walk out, he heard a light sound from the window behind him. He turned around and saw a dark figure darting in through the window.
Guard Wei was taken aback. Where did this thief come from to dare to commit a crime in the palace?
Guard Wei turned around and walked back. He approached quietly and raised his head under the window. He saw that person pull out a long sword. The sword shone under the moonlight and stabbed into the bed without hesitation.
Then, he reached in and touched the person’s breath under the blanket. When he was out of breath, he took out a set of gunny sack and dragged the person out.
Imperial Guard Wei broke out in a cold sweat.
So this wasn’t stealing, it was killing them to keep their mouths shut! The only person who could do such a thing in the palace was the emperor. If the emperor used him, he would abandon him.
It was no wonder that he was looking for a small character like him, who was as unremarkable as a mayfly. Small characters would naturally follow their orders, and they would at least be able to completely disappear without a splash.
It was just that he pitied this good brother of his who had come to his room to take a nap in the middle of the night …
If he went to look for Luanying now, neither of them would be able to escape. However, he still took advantage of the fact that the person in the house had left, and went in to take a mandarin duck quilt that Luanying had given him.
It was just that for the latter half, Wei Wei Wei did not know what had happened to Luanying at all.
After leaving the palace, he only met with Qian He once. After separating with her resolutely, he cut off all contact with the past. He turned into a hunter, wandering the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, changing his location every time he stayed in a village. He never knew anyone well, and he had no friends.
“Twins!” Jin Xiaolou said.
Feng Luanjun looked at her, and puzzledly frowned.
“The reason why the people that Luanying knows look exactly like Concubine Gao is because they’re twins.” Jin Xiaolou lightly said, “Not long ago, I also just gave birth to a twin.”
When she said till here, she immediately thought of Sier. She felt pain in her heart, gritted her teeth, and continued, “Twins are hereditary, if the mother is a twin, then the probability of the child giving birth to another twin will increase by a lot.”
Jin Xiaolou knew that they did not quite understand her words, and said simply, “That is to say, the reason why I had two babies is most likely because Gao Lang’s mother, Imperial Concubine Gao, was also once one of them.”
When Nan Yang first heard about her background, she was originally so excited that her lips had turned white. But now, her emotions were held back by Seventh Elder, and she said: “If that’s the case, then the current Empress Dowager Gao, doesn’t that mean … Seventh Elder’s aunt? “
