The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 581 Secret
Prince Yi's side Fujin Guerjia family died on the afternoon of May [-]th.That is to say, after she went to the palace and handed over the box to Yanhua, she went back that day and hanged herself in the afternoon.She left a last note to Xiao Qi, saying that she was not a good mother, leaving a son and a daughter to hope that Xiao Qi would take good care of her, and she went down to serve Thirteen.

Thirteen's eldest son and eldest daughter were all born to the Guerjia family, and the Guerjia family was most worried about Hongchang, so she wrote three times in the letter, hoping that Hongchang would listen to Xiao Qi's words.

When she heard the news that Fujin Ba and Fujin Jiu had committed suicide before, although Yanhua was shocked, it was only for a moment, because she had only met those two Fujins a few times, and she hadn't even spoken to them.As for Guarjia, she not only met him several times, but also chatted with him, and exchanged embroidery methods.

It took Yanhua a while to regain her sanity: "Lingxi, hurry up, help me to look at that box."

She had someone move the box to a side room, but no one was left behind, she just closed the door and locked herself inside.The box was locked, but Guarja had given her the key yesterday.When she opened the box with trembling hands, she only felt that the lid of the box weighed a thousand catties.This box is filled with thirteen secrets.

What caught my eye was a mink fur blanket, which she had just given to Shisan not long ago.She had no other intentions, just thinking about Shisan's leg ailment, and gave him such a blanket to cover his legs and keep him warm.So when she saw this blanket, she wasn't surprised at all.

Take the blanket away, there is a package underneath, wrapped in a piece of plain brocade.Curious in her heart, she opened it to take a look, it was a cloak, Yanhua's eyelids twitched, and when she unfolded it, it was astonishingly the one she had embroidered for Shisan.There were also two sachets wrapped in it, which were not embroidered by her, but seemed to be embroidered by Yingxiu. She just took them for Shisan, but he still kept them.

She saw that the cloak and sachet were brand new, but Dao Shisan didn't like it, so she didn't wear them all the time.

Further down, there are many small enamel boxes here and there, as well as a booklet of poetry.Yanhua felt that booklet of poetry was familiar to her, as if it was the one she picked out at random when Yinzhen punished her to read for the first time.Later she went to Yinzhen's study, but she didn't expect to appear here at this time, she must have borrowed Shisan to see it.

She casually opened it and looked, there was a dry flower petal inside, Yan Hua's heart suddenly missed a beat, and then jumped violently with a "plop plop plop".The petals were caught by her. That time when Yinzhen took her to see the river bank, she picked a bouquet of wild flowers for her by the river bank. After returning home, she gave the bunch of flowers to Wula in Yinzhen's name. Nala's is gone, but I only keep one of them.The petal was on that flower, she wanted to keep it as a thought, but then she thought about it and returned the book, but she couldn't find it anymore.

There is also a piece of ginkgo leaf next to the dried petals. If you look closely, there is a small figure drawn on the leaf, but as the leaf dries up, it becomes difficult to distinguish, so Yanhua can't see the small figure either. Who can draw well.

The booklet of this collection of poems is yellowing, and it is evident that it has been frequently looked at.At this point, Yanhua's breathing suddenly became unsteady.

There is also a letter on the last page of the book, which is the letter that Yanhua wrote to Shisan on behalf of Yinzhen.She had already forgotten the content of the letter, but she didn't think there was anything special about the content of the letter, so, did he keep the letter because it was written by her?

Continuing to read, she also saw a book, which was a book she had read before, and she never saw it again after returning to Yinzhen's study room, unexpectedly it was also here at Shisan.There is also something in the book, it is the back portrait she drew, Shisan is going there in front of Yinzhen, no one has ever taken it to heart.But right now, Yanhua saw a few words inscribed next to the back: Huanjun Pearl with tears in her eyes, wishing to see her when she was not married.

Although these two poems are written in a woman's tone, they are very appropriate here.Thirteen were annoyed by God's will and failed to allow him to meet Yanhua as soon as possible. Now that there is no fate, he can only silently wish her happiness.His love can't be said, even if he said it, but she can only refuse, and there will be no response.Therefore, he only blames good fortune for tricking people.

She opened one of the enamel boxes, which contained a plain white veil, which was faintly yellowed.She meditated for a long time, and couldn't remember when she gave the thirteen handkerchiefs, but she was indeed embroidered.She had long forgotten that Shisan had been injured at the racecourse, and there was blood on her forehead, so she took a veil to stop the bleeding.Thirteen wanted to return it to her at first, but never found the opportunity. Later, when he realized that he had such an inexplicable thought, he treasured the handkerchief.

She opened another enamel box, which contained a pair of earrings, not hers, but the earrings were beautiful, in the shape of emerald green drops.There is a piece of paper pressed under the box, written by Thirteen.

He called her Chan'er in the letter, as if he wrote it when he was imprisoned.He said that the first day of October every year is his happiest day.On that day, he would climb up the turret early in the morning and look in the direction of the restaurant, waiting for her and Yinzhen to go to the restaurant so that they could have a glass of wine with him from afar.When he saw that little figure, his heart would be moved. Although he couldn't see her face clearly at such a long distance, he would imagine that she was smiling every time. That smile must be like a bright smile in the dark night. Xingzi, bright and gentle...

Seeing this, her tears fell involuntarily, dripping on the letter paper, slowly wetting the words and the paper.

He said that he was also jealous of Yinzhen, but he was more sad and blamed himself.What is sour is that he actually had such inappropriate thoughts about her, what right does he have to be jealous?The blame is that Xiao Qi treats him wholeheartedly, but he always fails to treat Xiao Qi wholeheartedly. This is unfair to Xiao Qi, but he can't control the wanton growth of feelings in his heart at all.That love is like a tree, which has bloomed and fallen leaves, but it has already taken deep roots in his heart, and it is useless to cut them off.

This love has always been a matter for him alone. He blames himself, but he must let it fend for itself.Maybe, he can only guard these things, and let him live alone forever.

However, this was only the most painful time when he fell into this relationship.After thinking about it later, he no longer allowed himself to be so self-sufficient.He has Xiao Qi, and he wants to hold Xiao Qi's hand to see the ends of the world, how can he let himself guard a shady relationship to the end of time?

There are also many boxes, after opening, they are all things that Thirteen wanted to give to Yanhua, but has not been able to give away.There are also many little bits and pieces, Yanhua feels as if they are all hers, but she can't remember when she lost some things.

There are chess pieces she has touched, snuff bottles she has played with, and the most ridiculous thing is that there are actually two long bamboo sticks that are used to stick candied haws... Yanhua cried bitterly when she saw it, and Lingxi outside listened anxiously , but Yanhua locked the door from the inside, so she couldn't let her in, so she walked around outside in a hurry, peeking through the crack of the door in a low voice: "Your Majesty? Is Your Majesty alright? Your Majesty, please open the door."

Yanhua only let her guard the door alone, so she didn't dare to call loudly, it really made her anxious.

Yanhua stayed inside for a whole day, until it was time for dinner, and after Lingxi reminded her several times, a voice came from inside: "Lingxi... bring a brazier over here."

Her voice was completely hoarse, and she startled herself when she spoke.When she cried, did she actually cry herself like this?
When she opened the door, Lingxi was startled by her appearance.Yanhua's eyes were completely swollen, as if they were covered with two big bubbles of water, and it seemed as if they could squeeze out the water by pinching them with her hands.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Lingxi looked sad, and immediately shed tears.She had never seen her master cry like this before, what kind of crime did she suffer.

"Go out and watch outside." Yanhua took the brazier and kicked her out. Although Lingxi was worried, she didn't dare to disobey her intentions. After she couldn't hold her back, she could only retreat worriedly .

Yanhua lit a candle, and slowly burned all the things that could be burned in the box.

"Master Thirteen, it's God's will to trick people. It's you who gave the wrong affection. Sister Xiaoqi is your good match, and my lover has always been Zhenlang. In my life, I can only love Zhenlang alone. Elder sister Xiaoqi has spent all her life loving you." She opened her mouth, but she didn't make any wish for the afterlife, her afterlife had already been promised to Yinzhen, how could she make a second wish?In Shisan's afterlife, Xiao Qi will be there to wait for her.

Thirteen said in those letters that there is someone in his heart who has been unwilling to leave.Yan Hua thought, maybe that person left long ago, but he didn't realize it, otherwise how could he look at Xiao Qi so lovingly?They are all people who are willing to be trapped in love and cannot extricate themselves, but they are very happy.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Lingxi smelled a smell of smoke outside, which immediately made her nervous to the point of goosebumps all over her body.But Yanhua was immersed in sadness, and she didn't have the heart to talk to her at all, so the sound of Lingxi knocking on the door became louder and louder, finally attracting Shaoyao and Xiao Yu'er to run over.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yu'er looked around nervously, "Where's Your Majesty? Is Your Majesty in there?"

"Xiao Yu'er, try to open this door quickly, but the lady has been silent, could it be that there is a fire inside?" There was indeed a fire inside, and Lingxi didn't know if it came from the brazier or it was really on fire.She said that the smoke was getting bigger and bigger, she was afraid that Yan Hua would be fainted in it.

"Stop dawdling, knock the door open!" Seeing Xiao Yu'er turning around in a hurry, Lingxi pulled him to knock on the door.

Xiao Yu'er gritted her teeth, hurriedly protected her head and bumped into it.He and Jin San bumped into each other several times before finally knocking the door open.

Sure enough, there was a fire inside, a big box, and even the clothes inside were crackling and burning.Looking at Yanhua again, she didn't know whether she was smoked or was too sad, she had passed out and was lying beside the brazier, looking unconscious.

"Niang Niang!" Lingxi screamed in surprise and rushed over.
