Chapter 253 surrender
"Master, the cupper next to Concubine Fang has come and said that he has something to meet with you."

Fang Ruxuan knew what King Yong said to Concubine Fang that night in Wanfu Palace, but what Fang Ruxuan didn't know was that Concubine Fang stayed in Wanfu Palace until midnight before going back.

For several days, they did not hear anything from Concubine Fang, and even went to Fengming Palace to pay her respects, but did not see her.

At this moment, when Ding Xiang mentioned Concubine Fang, Fang Ruxuan couldn't imagine why she came to find her.

"Let her in."

Fang Ruxuan nodded, got up and left the main hall.

"My maidservant pays respects to the Crown Princess Concubine, the Empress is a thousand years old..."

She bowed respectfully and saluted, and when Fang Ruxuan called out, Liu Shang got up and stood in front of Fang Ruxuan with her head bowed.

"How are Concubine Fang and the little prince?"

Fang Ruxuan asked.

"Thank you, Empress, for your concern. My master and the little prince are both fine, but it's just that the weather has been cold these few days, and my master is not feeling well, so I haven't been out of the palace much."

Liu Shang spoke softly, the words were peaceful.

After waiting for a while, Liu Shang didn't mention the purpose of coming to the East Palace, so Fang Ruxuan looked up at her and asked.

Liu Shang's gaze turned around on the maid in the palace.

"Those who are by my side are naturally believers. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Fang Ruxuan put down the tea bowl in her hand.

Liu Shang pursed her lips, took out an envelope from her sleeve pocket, and handed it to Fang Ruxuan, "This is from my master who asked the servants to hand it over to the Crown Princess. The master said, look, you will naturally understand what she means." gone."

"This is?"

Fang Ruxuan was a little suspicious, but at the same time, she motioned for Ding Xiang to come forward and take it.

"That day, my master once told the princess concubine that she has physical evidence in her hand, and this is what the master said."

Liu Shang bowed his head and replied.

On the night of the Hungry Ghost Festival, Concubine Fang took Fang Ruxuan to her side just because she had the physical evidence that Concubine Ning was wronged. I paid for it.

But at this moment, Fang Ruxuan did not expect that Concubine Fang would take the initiative to send the physical evidence.

Seeing that Ding Xiang put the envelope on the brocade table by her hand, Fang Ruxuan didn't open it in a hurry, her eyes turned back and forth a few times, and she asked Liu Shang, "What else did Concubine Fang say?"

Naturally, Fang Ruxuan would not believe that Concubine Fang would give her such an important thing for no reason.

Liu Shang knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Fang Ruxuan, "My master said that she hoped that the concubine and concubine would not let go of her past. She didn't ask for anything, but hoped that the day His Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne, she could find own children."

King Yong will definitely not give up on seizing the heir, and once Chu Yuan ascends the throne, it is self-evident what will happen to King Yong, and Concubine Fang's request is not too much.

If it was in the past, Fang Ruxuan would definitely feel that Concubine Fang's move meant something unclear, but at this moment, Fang Ruxuan believed her.

As a woman, Fang Ruxuan can probably understand how Concubine Fang felt that night, so Concubine Fang's actions at this moment can also be explained.

"Okay, I agree."

Fang Ruxuan said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, the servants will leave."

Kowtowed again, Liu Shang stood up, turned and left.

Looking at the envelope on the table, Fang Ruxuan hesitated for a while, picked it up and entered the inner hall.

Sitting on the edge of the soft couch, Fang Ruxuan opened the envelope.

The off-white envelope, because of the long-term accumulation, the edges and folds have become old yellow/color, but it looks like a new one. It can be seen that it has not been opened too many times.

The seal has no trace of being sealed, and it is not too thick to the touch. When it is taken out, there is only a piece of paper.

The handwriting was beautiful, as if it was written by a woman. Fang Ruxuan looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she saw it this time. But after reading it, Fang Ruxuan was already sure in her heart that this letter was written by Concubine Ning.

Although each stroke was softer than those written on the wall of Wanfu Palace, but when he stroked his pen, he could tell that it was a person.

There was no header at the beginning of the letter, and there was no signature or date at the end, as if it was someone's handwriting, written for myself, but the tone of the letter was basically talking to others.

In the letter, Concubine Ning said: "Your entrustment, I can't do anything now. You can see who is high and who is low. Now that people's hearts are changing, and the future is long, she will definitely be able to keep herself safe and prosperous. You can rest assured. As for me , now that I can't protect myself, I really don't have time to take care of other people's affairs, I hope you will forgive me."

A few words, quite confusing, but Concubine Fang said, this is physical evidence, Fang Ruxuan pondered quietly for a long time, but she had no clue at all.

In the afternoon, Fang Ruxuan took mulberry and mulberry leaves and went out of the East Palace to the pear forest next to Wanfu Palace.

Sure enough, after a while, Concubine Fang also arrived.

It seems that I haven't seen her for a few days, and Concubine Fang has lost weight again, as if a gust of wind can blow her away, but seeing her walking slowly in plain clothes, it really feels like walking among the clouds , it doesn't feel awkward at all.

"The concubine has seen the princess concubine..."

After bowing her knees to meet the ceremony, Concubine Fang stood up, walked to Fang Ruxuan and said, "The Empress Dowager has many doubts in her heart, right?"

Fang Ruxuan nodded, and without turning a corner with her, asked directly: "Where did you get that letter from? Why are you sure it can be used as physical evidence?"

Concubine Fang shook her head, "Concubine is not sure whether it can become physical evidence. After all, it is much better to find clues from it than to investigate without any clue for the Crown Princess?"

Seeing that Fang Ruxuan was noncommittal, Concubine Fang continued: "In the 26th year of Yongqian, concubines entered the palace to run for election. All the beautiful women lived in Huixin Xiaozhu, and concubines lived in the West Fifth Room. One night, there was a commotion everywhere. , But after a while, it became quiet again, and the foster mother said, the thief has been arrested, and she comforted us a few words, let us keep the rules and ask around, and then left. "

"At the time of the noise, I was in the third room in the west talking to the beautiful girl I had befriended. After being reprimanded by the foster nun, I went back to the room. Then, I found this letter under the mattress. I don't know whose letter it was. But at that time, it was a critical moment, no one wanted to ask for trouble and be kicked out of the palace, so I hid it secretly. But within a few days, the master of the palace gave an order, saying that there are many mosquitoes in summer and people with little wisdom There are a lot of people in the building, so as not to cause diseases caused by mosquito bites, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to clean the Huixin Xiaozhu from the inside to the outside."

Speaking softly, Concubine Fang seemed to recall the situation at that time.

Fang Ruxuan knew that those people were probably trying to find the letter in the name of cleaning.

Taking a look at Fang Ruxuan, Concubine Fang nodded, "I knew right then that the problem was with that letter, and I was even more afraid to take out the letter, for fear of causing trouble to myself."

"Have you told others about this?"

Fang Ruxuan asked cautiously.

Concubine Fang shook her head, "After that, I was selected to enter the palace, and then I found out about Concubine Ning. Then, I saw the writing on the wall in Wanfu Palace, and then I knew that this letter was It was written by Concubine Ning in the past, as for whom it was written to, I don’t know.”

Fang Ruxuan frowned, and said in a puzzled way: "Concubine Ning's accident happened in the seventh year of Yongqian. The year you entered the palace to run for election was the 26th year of Yongqian. There was an interval of 20 years between this letter. Don't you think so?" Do you find it strange?"

Concubine Fang nodded approvingly, "I've naturally thought about this too. In the end, I only came to one conclusion, that is, there are people in the palace who are investigating the past events of the year, so those who know the matter want to send this letter Moved to another place, or sent it out of the palace, unexpectedly, the whereabouts were exposed, and then, I had no choice but to hide the letter in a nearby place."

From the tone of the letter, it seemed that someone had entrusted Concubine Ning to take care of someone in the palace, but people's hearts had changed, and the person who was to be taken care of already had the ability to protect themselves, and there was no need for Concubine Ning to help in secret.At that time, Concubine Ning was already pregnant and was surrounded by rumors in the palace, so she couldn't protect herself, so Concubine Ning wanted to send a message to that person, telling him that the old promise could only end here.

From this point of view, Concubine Ning is a very committed person.

However, at that time, there was a lot of turmoil, and the letter was not sent out of the palace due to various reasons. Then, after many years, when someone thoroughly investigated the matter again, the letter was rediscovered, and by chance, it fell into the hands of Concubine Fang.

Fang Ruxuan nodded in agreement with Concubine Fang's words, not to mention, she couldn't think of any other explanation other than that.

"Know anything else?"

Concubine Fang is so honest, Fang Ruxuan will naturally not let go of this rare opportunity. After all, Concubine Fang's time in the palace is short, but it has been much longer than her own. Women in the palace usually have boring lives. To pass the time, there is nothing better than talking about the secrets of the palace in the past, which can not only pass the time but also satisfy infinite curiosity.

Shaking his head, Concubine Fang said softly: "Concubine Ning's matter is kept secret by everyone in the palace, and even the Wanfu Palace has become a forbidden place in the palace. When I entered the palace, this matter had passed 20 years, let alone with me. It doesn't matter, why would I go to the extra trouble to inquire about something, and cause myself more trouble?"

Fang Ruxuan nodded, and immediately turned her head to look at Concubine Fang and said, "Although it's just a letter, you can always find some names if you check it. In the end, I still want to thank you."

Concubine Fang nodded and smiled slightly, "The concubine is very glad that the concubine can let the past go. This letter can be regarded as the concubine's letter of surrender. Everything depends on the future, how will it be?"

The implication is that she will have more help in the future.

Although I don't know what she can do, but in this deep palace, it is always a good thing to have one less enemy. Who can tell what will happen in the future?

Fang Ruxuan nodded yes.

Having said all that needed to be said, Concubine Fang was about to leave, saluted Fang Ruxuan, and went forward with the glass of wine.

After walking a few steps, Concubine Fang turned her head to Fang Ruxuan and said, "There is something else I need to tell the Crown Princess."

When speaking, Concubine Fang had some hesitation on her face, obviously she was not sure.

Fang Ruxuan turned her head, and Concubine Fang said: "It's just a feeling, there is no proof, the concubine just said so, the Crown Princess will listen to it, as for whether to take it seriously, the Crown Princess can decide for herself."

Fang Ruxuan nodded.

"The concubine thinks there is something wrong with that Chunnier. The Crown Princess should wait and see what she says, and don't believe it."

After speaking, Concubine Fang turned and left.
