The little palace maid ran in a hurry and didn't pay attention to what was ahead. When she found Feng Yuheng and Huang Quan, she could no longer stop and ran into them head-on.
Huang Quan was quick to stop the person, so that she would not bump into Feng Yuheng. But the maid was also frightened, and quickly knelt down and said: "I don't know which noble lady it is, this servant did not mean it, please spare my life!"
Feng Yuheng looked at her for a while, and seeing that she looked very anxious, he asked, "Which palace are you from? Why are you so anxious?"
The young palace maid said, "I am from Qing'an Palace. Concubine An is ill again. I am in a hurry to ask for the imperial physician."
"Princess An?" Feng Yuheng blinked. It would be better to do a favor than to come to the door on her own initiative, so she said, "I was originally going to pay my respects to Concubine Yun. Now that I have heard about this, it is not good to stand by and watch. I will go with you to check on Concubine An's condition!"
There was only one county lady in the Dashun Dynasty, so how could this palace maid not know who she was? Although it was not polite to ask the county lady to see a doctor, the county lady Ji'an was a miracle doctor, which was known to everyone in the capital. She was worried about Concubine An's madness, and then she thought that the Imperial Hospital was really far away, and even if she asked Qing'an Palace to invite the imperial physician, the doctor might not be able to come, so she simply gritted her teeth, kowtowed to Feng Yuheng and said, "Thank you, county lady, for your kindness! Please follow me to Qing'an Palace!"
Feng Yuheng was "invited" to Qing'an Palace. As soon as she entered the palace, she heard a madman's voice shouting loudly: "Kill that rebellious son! Kill him!" Then there was the sound of bottles and jars being smashed, and then the madman's collapse and crying - "How could I give birth to a son like that? He is not my own! He must not be my own!"
The maid who invited Feng Yuheng to come said helplessly: "Empress Anpin goes crazy every once in a while. In the past, she would just sing and cry for a while, and she would be fine in half a day at most. But this time, she has not been fine since last night. The Empress even beat people. A eunuch and a maid in the palace have been beaten to death."
"So serious?" Feng Yuheng was a little surprised. She originally thought that Concubine An was just depressed and had a bad temper, but she didn't expect that she was already so crazy.
She quickened her pace and walked towards the palace, and then entered Concubine An's bedroom. At a glance, she saw a woman in palace dress with disheveled hair sitting on the floor in the room. The dress was made of good material, but the color was old and looked a bit loose.
Feng Yuheng knew that this must be Concubine An, and at this moment, she was grabbing a palace maid, pulling her hair hard and shouting: "What's the point of me raising you? Why can't I kill him? Why is he still alive? It must be that you didn't teach her well, she doesn't dance like that!"
The palace maid had a slim figure and a pretty face. Her willow-like waist was so slender that it could be held in a man's hand. Even though she was wearing the uniform palace clothes, one could still tell at a glance that she was outstanding.
Unfortunately, under Yunpin's grabbing and pulling, no matter how pretty she was, she lost her image. She was seen kneeling on the ground, unable to break free, unable to hide, and unable to fight back against Yunpin, so she could only grit her teeth and endure. She didn't scream even after being torn so hard.
Feng Yuheng recognized that the person was Hong Yi. Of course, she didn't think Hong Yi was her real name, so she asked the little maid beside her: "Who is the person being torn apart by Concubine An?"
The young palace maid replied, "It's Yinlan. The queen values her the most on weekdays, but every time she gets sick, she is the one who suffers the most."
Feng Yuheng nodded, stepped forward quickly, and grabbed Yunpin's wrist. Then he heard Yunpin shouting, "Don't touch me! Get out! Get out of here!" But she only shouted these few words, and then her eyelids drooped and she fell asleep.
Yinlan finally managed to break free and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When she looked up again and saw that it was Feng Yuheng, her heart, which had just been relieved, was lifted up again. "County Lady." She knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and only called her "County Lady" without saying a word.
Feng Yuheng ignored her and asked the servants of Qing'an Palace to carry Concubine An to the bed, then took out a silver needle from his sleeve and pierced several of Concubine An's hair.
The servants of Qing'an Palace finally felt relieved after seeing this. If they hadn't met Princess Ji'an today, there would have been more people beaten to death by Concubine An. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital all treated people differently. Concubine An was basically a discarded concubine. The emperor still left her a palace and didn't demote her, which was good enough. How could they care about her?
Yinlan knelt in the middle of the room without getting up. The little palace maid who brought Feng Yuheng to Qing'an Palace looked at her strangely. She wanted to go up and ask, but she felt that although the Princess Ji'an was treating Concubine An, her face was a little gloomy and it was obvious that she was not in a good mood. She did not dare to ask more questions and could only stand by.
It was not until half an hour later that Feng Yuheng finally pulled out the silver needles stuck in Anpin's head. Then she took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, poured a few pills from it and stuffed them into Anpin's mouth. Then she said, "Get some water to give Anpin the medicine. She needs to sleep for a while longer, and she should wake up in an incense stick of time at most."
The little palace maid responded and went to get some water. Feng Yuheng stood up, glanced at Yin Lan, and said as she walked out, "This county lady has something to ask you. Please follow me."
Yinlan stood up and followed Feng Yuheng carefully. The other servants thought Feng Yuheng wanted to ask about Concubine An's condition, so no one thought much about it and went back to their own work.
Feng Yuheng didn't walk far and sat down on a chair in the corridor beside the yard. Yinlan stood in front of her, without the aloof look she had when she was wearing red clothes, but still looked a little cold.
Huang Quan had already recognized the person, and without waiting for Feng Yuheng to speak, he spoke angrily, "What is your intention in sneaking into the Feng Mansion by changing your clothes?"
No one said anything.
Huang Quan was so angry that he glared at her - "Do you believe that I will kill you?"
The other person didn't say anything.
Feng Yuheng suddenly laughed, "Your temper is still the same as Hongyi's, but helping a crazy mother to harm her own son will be punished by God."
Yin Lan finally reacted, but his eyes were red and his fists were clenched.
Feng Yuheng continued, "Men and women should love each other. Even though one of them is dead, it's not good to put all the blame on the other." She looked up at Yin Lan, "It's been so many years since the incident, and Concubine An is not clear-headed. It's hard for you to stay by her side and remind her again and again to hate her son."
Yin Lan was stunned at first when she heard this, but then she actually laughed, as if she had heard the funniest joke, pointing at Feng Yu Heng and saying, "Are you speaking up for the Fifth Prince? Have you forgotten that you were the one who pushed the Fifth Prince into this first?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, not shying away from her accusation. "Yes, it was me." She said, "I did want to use a dissolute prince to muddy the waters at first, but I didn't expect that by some strange mistake, he would get deeper and deeper into the river. But now it seems that I was right to push him into the water. He deserves to die."
She just said the word damn, which made Yin Lan a little confused, so she blurted out, "That's not what I said just now."
Feng Yuheng told her: "What I said about deserving death is different from what you said. He really deserves death to me. But to you... Tell me, who is that concubine who drowned that year to you?"
Yinlan was stunned for a moment, staring at Feng Yuheng, and felt that her deep eyes seemed to be able to see everything. Although she didn't expect to hide it from everyone, Feng Yuheng found out that she was from Qing'an Palace, and pointed out her relationship with the concubine directly, which made Yinlan a little scared.
Seeing her hesitation, Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I have no intention of ruining your plan. It's up to you whether to say it or not. I just want to find the answer to one thing in Qing'an Palace. If you can help me solve my doubts, Yinlan, I might be able to help you when you don't want to die."
Upon hearing this, Yin Lan's eyes, which were originally as calm as still water, finally showed a ripple, and she subconsciously asked, "Are you serious?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Really."
There is even more hope in Yinlan's eyes!
She had already made up her mind to die. After entering the palace and embarking on this path, she had never thought about leaving alive. But whether she wanted to die or not was one thing, but when someone told her that she really didn't have to die, it was another matter.
It’s not a big deal. She believed Feng Yuheng. Although this child was much younger than her, she just believed that what the Ji’an County Lady said was true.
Yinlan thought for a while, gritted her teeth, and said simply: "Okay, I'll tell you. The concubine who drowned was my elder sister. She was originally just a dancer in the palace, but because she looked a bit like Concubine Yun, the emperor was drunk and favored her for one night. Unfortunately, the emperor regretted it after that night. He felt sorry for Concubine Yun, so he never visited my sister again, but gave her the title of concubine so that she could have no worries about food and clothing in the palace in the future. Who knew that the fifth prince would also fall in love with my sister! Under his kindness, my sister was moved. But there is no impenetrable wall in this palace. After the incident was exposed, my sister was secretly executed, but the fifth prince is still alive and well. Tell me, isn't this very unfair?"
Feng Yuheng thought that her guess was correct. She had felt that there must be something wrong when she found out that the girl in red was mixed up in Qing'an Palace. Anpin was not clear-headed and was thinking about how to kill her son every day. The girl in red went to teach Fendai to dance, which was obviously helping Anpin to frame the fifth prince. If she said that the girl in red was just acting for someone else and had no purpose of her own, she would never believe it. Not everyone can dance the Snow Plum Dance. How did Anpin take in the girl in red by chance?
Yin Lan continued, "I don't hate the emperor, nor do I hate Concubine Yun. If it weren't for the Fifth Prince, my sister would still be the head of the palace, living a glorious life. This is all the Fifth Prince's fault, so he must die."
Feng Yuheng didn't say anything else. Yinlan's hatred for Xuan Tianyan had nothing to do with her. If Yinlan and Anpin could kill Xuan Tianyan, she would be relieved.
"I heard that the Fifth Prince once had a concubine from Southern Xinjiang in his mansion. Is that true?" She asked Yin Lan. "Although Concubine An hates her son, the Fifth Prince still loves this concubine very much, right? Tell me, if Concubine An made any excessive demands to the Fifth Prince, would the Fifth Prince agree?"
As soon as she said this, Yin Lan seemed to understand what she meant. She did not answer, but pointed to a corner and said to Feng Yuheng: "County Lady, look -"
