The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 123
There was no bright moon this night, but there were stars shining all over the sky. Concubine Hui raised her eyes and stared at them, and the stars were shining brightly in her eyes. She suddenly remembered those nights when she was young, riding a sweaty horse and galloping on the vast Horqin grassland.

As the spring breeze blew, Concubine Hui felt her face was wet and cold.

She tried her best to sniff the wind, but she couldn't smell the freshness of the grassland, only the pungent smell of new paint on the palace walls of the long street.

The imperial eunuch urged her to go faster, Concubine Hui took two steps gracefully, then leaned over and took off the silk brocade shoes on the bottom of the flower pot, and threw them under the palace wall.

The eunuch frowned and asked her what she was doing, Concubine Hui smiled, her bare feet were wrapped in a white cloth, her figure twisted into a graceful water snake.

"The bottom of your full flower pot is flashy, and it always bumps when you walk. I've been wearing it for so many years, and I'm really tired of it. Now I can be my own master."

When Concubine Hui entered Qianqing Palace, four people from Wanyu were standing on both sides of the main hall, and the emperor was alone sitting on the dragon throne.

Nine warm yellow dragon-head palace lanterns are burning in the hall, illuminating the golden light in the hall as if it were daytime.

Only the emperor looked gloomy and looked at Concubine Hui with stern eyes.

Concubine Hui was wearing the auspicious Mongolian costume she often wore when she first entered the palace. On her hair, which was as thick as dark clouds, was a pair of red gold phoenix hairpins. , swaying with her figure.

She staggered forward with a charming smile on her face, her expression still charming.

When he was in front of the dragon seat, he bent down to pay his respects to the emperor and said: "My concubine respectfully greets the emperor's peace."

Seeing her smile, the emperor thought of how gentle and considerate she was in the past, but now she is so vicious, and felt a little sad in his heart.

He didn't tell Huipin to get up, let her kneel down, and said coldly: "I called you here today because I need to ask you something clearly."

Concubine Hui raised her head and raised her eyebrows to look at the emperor, with a full expression on her face, she said: "If the emperor wants to ask anything, just ask."

The emperor fiddled with the letterhead written by Liu Yue on the case, concubine Hui's expression became concentrated, she picked up the letterhead and looked at it carefully, and smiled to herself: "The writing is very beautiful."

"Murdering Chengrui, framing Concubine Xian, what's on your mind?"

Concubine Hui didn't deny it either, and replied neatly: "Yes."

Hearing what she said, Ma Jiaxiuyan stepped forward and kicked Concubine Hui to the ground, it was the emperor who reprimanded her before she restrained herself a little, and said angrily: "Chengrui was young, how could he offend you, you bitch?" People, you have to hurt him like this to be happy!?"

Concubine Hui straightened her body, and said disdainfully: "Having a child is like winning an ingot. I feel sick just looking at it. Concubine Xian, her father, Tong Guowei, impeached me, Ama, and ordered the emperor to punish my mother's family." Because of this, Er Niang couldn't stand the blow and became seriously ill. Her father was in the front court, but she wants to sit on an equal footing with me in the harem, so she is worthy?"

"Then what about Mrs. An? But you were the one who caused her miscarriage and blamed Mrs. Wan?" The emperor asked again.

Concubine Hui still responded with a smile: "That's right. And the Queen gave birth late, which is also the concubine's mind. She has no virtue and incompetence. After sitting on the queen's phoenix seat for so long, doesn't she feel pain in her buttocks? It's a pity that she Fate is too big, not to end up with the death of both mother and child! What else does the emperor want to ask, so let’s ask them together, and I’m so tired that I don’t have to answer every sentence.”

The emperor let out a long sigh, the veins on his neck bulged, he could hardly restrain his anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, very good!" A square brocade box of pills of various colors stepped forward and spread them out in front of Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui glanced at it and said with a smile: "This is the medicine used by the concubine, how could it fall into the hands of Concubine Yi?"

The emperor asked: "Did you give this object to Nala for promise, and said that it has the effect of light body?"

Concubine Hui shook her head unhurriedly and said no: "The concubine mentioned it to her, but she didn't give it to her."

"You're talking nonsense!" Yu Wen caressed her lower abdomen and shouted at Concubine Hui emotionally: "It's clear that you gave it to me, and you want me to use more to maintain my figure so that I can regain my favor after giving birth! Now you say it has nothing to do with you? Why don't I go to your palace to steal this poison if I'm about to give birth?"

Seeing Yuwen's emotional agitation, the emperor hurriedly ordered Wanyu to protect her quickly, so as not to hurt the dragon fetus.

Hearing what she said, Concubine Hui's expression was no longer as calm as before, but a trace of doubt flashed across her face, and she asked calmly, "This medicine is in the cabinet of this palace, when did you take it one by one and give it to you? And this thing is just some common medicines purified and condensed, where does the poison come from?"

The emperor said solemnly: "Just now I have ordered the imperial doctor to come and examine it. This thing contains a large amount of safflower and Achyranthes bidentata powder. If you eat it for a long time, the dragon's fetus will be damaged! Nala promised that it only took five days, and there was a slight tire slippage. Symptoms! How dare you say it’s non-toxic?” The emperor snorted and said angrily, “Even if it’s non-toxic, then you swallow the whole box and show me!”

Concubine Hui carefully looked at the pills in the brocade box, then cast her eyes on Wanyu and Concubine Yi, and smiled faintly.

With her intelligence, how could she not know what went wrong?
She had never given Nala Yuwen the brocade box of pills, but one day when she wanted to get some pills, she found them missing. At first, she thought she was confused and forgot where she left them, but now it seems that it should be Nala Yuwen. Yuwen stole it by herself.

But there are no safflower and achyranthes bidentata in the pill, so who added it?
Thinking of Wanyu's visit to Yuwen in recent days, Concubine Hui immediately understood.

If there is no mistake, those two anti-pregnancy medicines should have been secretly added by Wanyu, in order to cause Nala Yuwen to panic and hold her grudges.

She looked at Wanyu, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Wan, you really are a good planner."

Wan Lai raised her eyebrows, and said with a calm expression: "What does your lady mean by this, the concubine doesn't know. But when it comes to strategy, who in the harem can compare to your lady?"

Concubine Hui's tense face was slightly relaxed, she just smiled, laughing sternly, like a ghost crying in the middle of the night, making people feel uncomfortable: "I can't think of such a crude method."

After she finished speaking, she shook her head, looked at Yuwen's swollen belly, said with a look of indifference, "Forget it, I have done enough crimes in this life, and I am not afraid to admit it again."

"Poisonous woman!" The emperor roared and got up, grabbed a memorial and threw it at her forehead, causing Concubine Hui's hair to fall down: "Say! What other vicious things have you done!"

Concubine Hui happily straightened her hair, and looked at everyone with empty eyes.

There was a frightening chill between her brows and eyes, and she was about to speak when she heard Liang Jiugong shouting in panic outside the room: "Your Majesty, something has happened! Your Majesty!"

She turned her head, glanced at the gate of Qianqing Palace, and said happily: "The emperor wants to know, so let Eunuch Liang explain to you."

After saying this, Liang Jiugong responded to the front of the hall, knelt down and cried out in pain: "Your Majesty! People from Chengqian Palace came to report that after the empress Xian concubine ate the milk soup sent by empress Hui concubine, she suffered from redness! Now she has collapsed. More than that, I’m afraid it’s not good.”
