The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 217 Witch Gu ([-])

It was obviously a hot day in June, but there was an inexplicable coolness in the hall, which wanted to press into the human flesh.

Naturally, Rong Yue knew that Wanyu would definitely not sit down in this matter, it can be seen that Wanyu did not defend herself, so she couldn't help feeling anxious.She glanced at Luo Fu, and said with a sneer: "Chang Luo is afraid that the emperor has been confining him for so many days, and he will be bored. Now that he has relieved the confinement, he has so many things to say. Countless, how can you be sure that this thing was done by Wanbi? I'm afraid it wasn't because you were jealous of Wanbi who accused you of evil things to the emperor that day, and you deliberately framed it?"

The more Luo Fu listened, the more disturbed she became, her expression was a little cramped, but when Rong Yue finished speaking, she forcibly calmed down and stammered slightly: "Concubine Xian has been ups and downs in the palace for many years, she really sees things more clearly than concubines Many." As she spoke, she knelt down on both knees and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this happened in Changchun Palace, and everyone in Changchun Palace is suspected. Please, Your Majesty, immediately take everyone in Changchun Palace into custody for strict interrogation. Complain for elder sister's grievances!"

Seeing that the emperor was unmoved, she cried even more bitterly: "The eldest sister died miserably. Now that she knows that this incident is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, doesn't the emperor want to make the elder sister understand? The concubine heard it when she was young, If a person is poisoned to death, and dies without knowing the truth, he will gather resentment in the world and refuse to reincarnate, Your Majesty, you."

"That's enough, don't say any more." The emperor leaned back and sat heavily on the seat, resting his forehead with his hands, frowning and closing his eyes tightly.Since Queen Renxiao passed away these days, I can often dream of the pale face of Queen Renxiao at night.Now when he closes his eyes, that bloodless face floats in his mind again, probably because of Luo Fu's words, that face looks even more resentful and resentful today.

When he opened his eyes again, the emperor's expression was extremely cold, and he clearly still had the handsome and extraordinary face of the emperor, with his brows shining and imposing.But it seems to be separated from everyone by the distance of the bright sky, which is unpredictable.

He only heard him say in a deep voice: "About the occurrence of witchcraft in the Changchun Palace, except for the three masters, the rest of the people were taken into custody in the Punishment Department and tortured severely. We must ask them who is responsible for this evil thing. "

The more the emperor said these words, the colder his voice became, and the more the concubines in the palace jumped with fear.

You Yiwenyin was timid and unable to restrain her temper, kowtowed her head several times hoping that the emperor would see clearly, but such behavior aroused suspicion, Wannao lifted her up, and softly comforted her: "Be afraid of things you haven't done before." what?"

Seeing that the momentum is going against the grain, Rong Yue thinks about Liu Yue beside her and Yun Shan beside Wan Yu betraying the master, and she shudders even more.

This person entered the Punishment Department, even if he did not do something, he would be forcibly framed by others, and it is even more difficult to argue with all of this.

Moreover, Wen Yin has always been weak, and she is not outstanding among the concubines. Besides, although Yu Wen gave birth to an emperor's heir, she is not the emperor's favorite person after all.This matter happened in Changchun Palace, obviously it was aimed at Wanyu.

Thinking of this level, she immediately leaned down and said to the emperor in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although those court ladies and eunuchs enter the palace to serve, they are also pitiful people. I have seen the concubines punished by the Punishment Division before. , if you want to be tortured and confessed, I am afraid that you will be tortured into tricks. And the emperor has always been lenient, if you lose the emperor's demeanor because of this, it is really inappropriate."

Although Luo Fu still had tears on his face, he smiled contemptuously and said clearly: "Concubine Xian has overstepped, did you just admonish the emperor?"

Concubine Yi tilted her head slightly, her tone was gentle but her words were generous: "Concubine Xian's words are all about the emperor's reputation and scruples. I heard that she didn't presume to be half-hearted, but Luo often thought so, but Do you have this in mind?"

Although Luo Fu is a formidable master, but she is clumsy and tongue-twisting, naturally she can't argue with Concubine Yi, she was so angry that her face turned red and she couldn't say a word for a while, while Xi Wei, who had been silent for a long time, spoke to the emperor at this time Said: "Your Majesty, this concubine does not seem to be in the mind of the people of Changchun Palace. If it is said that Changchun Palace used to get along with Empress Renxiao, it can be regarded as amicable. It's such a trivial matter, and because of this matter, I have been so ruthless that my concubine thought that my concubine could not do such a thing."

Luo Fu took Xi Wei's words with a sneer and said, "It's not uncommon for a woman to be vicious and narrow-minded. Just like An Guiren said, Hui Gui and Dong Changzai have no grievances or enmity with the Queen. How can they do this?" ?Since the doll was found in the Changchun Palace, the only suspicious person is Wanbi. Since the concubine Xian is concerned about the emperor's reputation, the concubine feels that there is no need to go to war, so she only brought the palace servants of Wanpin's palace to be cautious. Immediate interrogation by the Criminal Division!"

Hearing the concubines and concubines clamoring and bickering, the emperor could no longer suppress his already depressed mood.He suddenly threw the seven-treasure bracelet in his hand on the ground, and shouted at Liang Jiugong: "According to my order, keep everyone here. Anyone who has nothing to do with them should leave together."

Liang Jiugong, who got the emperor's command, did not dare to neglect the slightest, got up staggeringly and ran to the door, but this man took two steps, but was stopped by Wan Lai softly: "Eunuch Liang, stay a step."

Seeing that Liang Jiugong stopped, Wan Lai took two steps forward, took the puppet out of the carved pear wooden tray, held it in her hand and looked at it carefully.

Not long after, she raised her head and looked at the emperor coldly: "Has the emperor ever looked at this doll carefully?"

The emperor's expression was flat, he shook his head slightly without making a sound, Wan Yu said, "Look, your majesty, what's wrong with this thing?"

The emperor took the puppet from Wan Lai's hand and looked at it for a while, then asked: "It's just an ordinary thing, what's wrong?"

Wanna fiddled with the doll with her fingers very lightly, she peeled off the cloth wrapped around the doll's head, and the snow-white cloth inside came into view, taking advantage of the golden sunlight from the window inside and outside the hall, the dark lines on it could be seen faintly.Wan Lai's armor tipped with dark patterns and colors, and said softly: "Look, Your Majesty, what is this?"

The emperor watched intently, and then suddenly realized that the dark pattern embroidered was the pattern of 'Hundred Flowers Tuan Xiuju', and the fabric of this pattern was always exclusively used by Chuxiu Palace.

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Fu, and then said: "This is the fabric exclusively used by Chuxiu Palace, how could people in Changchun Palace sew dolls with it?"

Hearing this, Luo Fu's expression became tense, and she took two steps forward to look at it: "How could this be?" She murmured to herself, and after pondering for a moment, she pointed at Wan Yu and exclaimed, "I see! Wan Concubine, you are so vicious You actually stole the fabric from my palace to make this doll?" Her terrified expression was fleeting, replaced by a look of complacency: "Empress Renxiao is my eldest sister, and I have not yet entered the palace when she passed away. , how could it be me who did this? It's ridiculous!"
