The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 177

The queen's health was restored in the midsummer of July in the 11th year of Kangxi.

In this way, Concubine Yi naturally returned the power of the harem back to the queen.Because of her hatred for Yunshan, no one in the queen's decree palace should ever mention Yunshan's name.

The summer is hot and the green leaves are whirling.Seeing that the extremely hot days are about to hit, Wan Yu also gradually avoids going out of the palace.

Bai Changqing cured her spring sleepiness and sleepiness for more than two months, and now it is considered to be very good.

On this day, Bai Changqing came to ask for Wanyu's pulse, Wanyu reclined on the warm seat, the hollow jade urn in front of her was filled with icy air, which made her feel much more comfortable.

Bai Changqing said: "Your Majesty's qi deficiency has recovered, and the decoction can be stopped immediately."

Wan Yu pressed her fingertips to her temples, and said with a smile: "Thanks to your careful consideration, I heard that the doctor Bai has recently gone to ask for the peace pulse of the eldest sister. The eldest sister has worked hard for a long time in handling the affairs of the harem. Is she okay?"

Bai Changqing thought of the finger puller in Concubine Yi's hand that made her infertile, and looked a little embarrassed.Unavoidably Wanna saw the clues, he lowered his head in a respectful attitude, cupped his hands and said: "Concubine Yi, Empress Jin'an, there is nothing wrong with it."

Wanyi gave Bai Changqing some money, and ordered Yunchan to send him out, while she was alone in the hall playing with several blooming lilies on the table.

The petals are fragrant and in full bloom, pure and flawless, as if carved from white marble by a skilled craftsman in the palace.The light colors seem to wash away all the filth in the world, and the clear water is so clear that no lie or hypocrisy can be tolerated.

Wan Lai was watching in awe, when Dong Wenyin, who lives in the side hall, came to say hello, she met Rong Yue who came to look for her, the two chatted and laughed and entered the main hall of Wan Lai and sat down.

As soon as Dong Wenyinfang entered the palace, she felt the cold air hit her. She called out Shu Tan, played with the icy air slowly rising from the hollow of the jade urn, and sighed with infinite envy: "In the past, I entered the palace together with Sister Wan and Sister Rong. Now, the two elder sisters are both in the position of concubine and in charge of the first palace, but the younger sister is still the only one who is still in this constant position. I have rarely seen such good things in the palace of sister Wan. The jade urn used to hold the ice is also so exquisite, unlike in my palace, only an iron basin is used to hold the ice, the iron already absorbs heat, when it comes and goes, the ice melts faster, it will suffocate people to death at night. "

Hearing her complaining, Rong Yue gave a 'puchi' smile: "Take what you said, if you are afraid of heat and greedy for cold, tomorrow I will ask Lian Xin to move half of the ice in my palace to you." As she was speaking, her expression suddenly changed There was a change, adding a bit of worry: "My body is so cold, even in the dog days, it can't heat me up."

Wan Yu looked at her, feeling a little heartbroken and pityful.She held Rong Yue's hand, and said softly: "Sister, don't worry, I asked the imperial physician who treated you, and they all said that your illness has eased. The decoction is added regularly, and it will accumulate over time, and one day you will get better. My sister is kind and kind, and good people in this world are always rewarded."

Rong Yue nodded with a helpless smile, but she heard Dong Wenyin gnash her teeth and said, "Sister Wan said, in fact, there are not only good fortunes, but also bad fortunes." She glanced out of the window, and there was a tinge of embarrassment in her words. Wisps of joy: "The queen's punishment will last for two months, and Yunshan's life will soon come to an end."

Wan Yu was startled, as if a little surprised: "I asked the imperial physician in private, the queen tortured her with such trivial methods, if she wanted to kill her, at least it would take three to five months, how could it be so fast?"

Dong Wenying hurriedly explained: "In this summer, even the six palaces where we live are being scorched every day to evaporate people, not to mention the humid and sweltering Punishment Department? Left and Right Queens It is for her life, how many of the servants who take care of her can take care of everything? It is just to deal with the errands casually. Now where she is tortured, she stays alone for most of the day, and her body is stuffy. Bed sores, skin ulcers on the top of the forehead and no imperial doctor to treat them, if you encounter an infection in summer, isn't it not far from death?"

Rong Yue sneered: "I've also vaguely heard about this. In order to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide, those servants even stuffed her mouth with plain cloth. Thinking about it, it's cruel. The Queen's move is really inappropriate .”

Dong Wenyin curled her lips with a bit of contempt and said: "What's wrong, when she betrayed Sister Wan that day, she should have thought of such a day."

Wan Lai tapped her finger on the table, pondered for a moment and asked, "Has anyone ever visited her?"

Rong Yue saw that she seemed to care a little bit, perhaps she was still thinking about the old master-servant friendship, so she replied: "First, Mrs. An begged the Queen to meet her. Since Mrs. An made friends with you, His temperament is also much gentler, after all, we have lived together with Yun Changzai for so many days, so it is appropriate to give them away."

Wan Lai sighed softly, like the cold wind swirling by the imperial lake on a summer night: "Forget it, after all the years of master-servant friendship. Since her life is numbered, it's time for me to see her off."

On this day, Wanlao entered the Punishment Division at night, the place was already desolate, the evening wind made the leaves of the sycamore trees rustle, the flowers and plants in the courtyard bowed their heads, and they were not as gorgeous as the other places.

What kind of vegetation is raised in what kind of land? This place is probably overcast, and there is a rotten and decadent atmosphere everywhere, and there is no life at all.

Under the guidance of the eunuch in charge, Wan Lai quickly entered the dark room where Yun Shan was tortured.

When Wan Lai entered, there was no candlelight in the dark room, except for the side window which was nailed up with dead wood for some reason.In Wanyu's ears, she could only hear the slight panting and the continuous sound of water dripping, but she couldn't see the figure of Yunshan.

She ordered the eunuch to light the candles inside, and the darkroom was immediately illuminated by warm light. Only then did Wanyu see that Spruce was standing alone in the middle of the darkroom, with a large urn hanging above its head, dripping water continuously. her forehead.

She was so angry that she moaned helplessly, and seemed to be asleep again, with her eyelids drooping.

Wanlu sent the eunuch down, and walked two more steps into the spruce, only to see that the top of her forehead was soaked in water droplets over time, and her scalp was already white and swollen, with a bulge the size of a fist bulging.

Xu was woken up by Wan Lai's approach, she raised her eyes with difficulty, and saw that it was her coming, babbling and screaming with a dirty rag in her mouth.

She was originally a fair-skinned woman, but now she looks like she has been dried out by this torture, she is a kind of skinny with wrinkled skin and bones.

Outside the house, in a darkroom somewhere, there is a palace servant being tortured, his shrill screams are indistinguishable from male to female, it is creepy like the cry of a night owl.

Wan Lai turned her head and closed the door of the dark room heavily, so as to block out the miserable screams.

Yunshan's mouth kept babbling, and she took two steps to her side, moved the juanzi to her finger, took off the dirty rag stuffed in Yunshan's mouth and threw it on the ground.

Yun Shan suddenly let out a long breath, and greedily breathed in the stale air in the darkroom like a sigh of relief.

Wan Yu looked at her with a calm face, and said indifferently: "The cloud is always there, don't come here without any harm."
