The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 218 Witch Gu ([-])

Wannai raised her eyebrows to look at her, and said unhurriedly: "Luo Changzai naturally wouldn't harm Empress Renxiao, there has never been anyone in this palace who wanted to harm Empress Renxiao, from the beginning to the end, it was concubines who wanted to harm her." Just a concubine."

The emperor's eyes gradually returned to looking at Wanyu with a ray of tenderness: "Wan'er's words are very sad. It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that the incident happened in your palace. If you don't investigate it carefully, it will be difficult to clear your innocence."

Wan Lai nodded her head and said with a smile: "Why did the concubine ever blame the emperor? The emperor's intentions for the concubine are well known in the heart, and this incident is aimed at the concubine, so the emperor may find it hard to tell for a while."

In fact, she didn't know in her heart that the emperor must be suspicious of this matter, so she would deal with it so decisively?
She has only been in the palace for a few years, and she is no longer the immature and ignorant girl who thought that treating others with sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity.

Her husband is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. If he can completely trust someone, then the Qing Dynasty will probably perish in his hands sooner or later.

She doesn't have any resentment in her heart at the moment, what's more, as she grows older, she knows how to put herself in the emperor's shoes.

What's more, this matter was arranged by her early in the morning, if the emperor could not bear it, she would not know how to sing the subsequent drama.

Seeing her acting coquettishly to the emperor, Luo Fu made Mei feel sick, so naturally she couldn't say anything good: "What's the use of saying these things, my concubine? The concubine doesn't have that kind of thought, this doll is always made by someone. If it wasn't for your intention to harm elder sister, how could this puppet appear in your palace?"

Wan Lai raised a pair of pear dimples and smiled contemptuously at Luo Fu.There was a bit of mockery and disdain in that smile, and she followed up with a resolute question: "Luo Changzai is afraid that he is not familiar with the nature of the slaves in the manufacturing office. All white cloth embroidery patterns have been changed from bright embroidery to dark embroidery." She called Lin Lan to come forward, and showed the doll to the concubines present: "Everyone is an old man in the palace. These things can still be distinguished. Let’s see, is the embroidery on the doll bright or dark?”

Concubine Yi and Rong Yue are the most respected, and it is she who observes first.

Concubine Yi saw at a glance that the embroidery pattern on the puppet was made of dark embroidery needles, not to mention the stitches were hidden in an inconspicuous place, and even the embroidery pattern only used heavy white thread that was slightly heavier than the white thread. The people here don't know how to check carefully, but it's not that they want to confuse this fabric with the fabric used in the previous palace when there was no big funeral.

She was thinking about it, but Rong Yue said to the emperor in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this fabric is indeed made of dark embroidery stitches, and all the nuns on duty in the manufacturing office can attest to it."

While speaking, the puppet had already been circulated to most of the concubines, and everyone agreed with Rong Yue's remarks.

Luo Fu's expression suddenly became cramped, and cold sweat dripped down her face for a moment, like the rain rolled up the dust on the eaves on a rainy day and dripped down, making her delicate makeup immediately fade away, adding a bit of greasy feeling.

Wan Yu approached her two steps forward, her voice was soft but concealed and said: "Luo Chang is here, I want to ask you. I made this puppet to kill the lives of Empress Renxiao and the emperor's heir, why did you do it?" This doll was only made after the death of Empress Renxiao? Just look at it for yourself, the inside of the fabric is still brand new. It has been a year since Empress Renxiao passed away. If the doll has been buried in the palace, Why is it spotless?"

"This, that you..." Luo Fu obviously stammered, with a trace of astonishment between her brows, she couldn't speak clearly: "Then this thing may also be."

"It could be something else? I am the one who is going to kill someone. Now that Empress Renxiao has passed away, do you think I will keep this incriminating evidence waiting for you to question me?" Wan Yu asked in a solemn voice, almost sticking to Luo Fu's face. After saying this sentence, Luo Fu staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground in a daze.

Wan Yu gave a disdainful smile, turned her head and knelt down and appealed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it is clear now that some people use human puppets to practice witchcraft, but the person who hurt the most is not Empress Renxiao, but a concubine. "

Luo Fu saw the emperor staring at her with anger, and quickly screamed: "The emperor is clearly aware! This matter has nothing to do with the concubine! The concubine was wronged!" Her eyes flashed, as if she was alert and awakened What happened, so he panted heavily and glared at Wanyu angrily: "It's you, it's your plan to lure me into the urn! You made this puppet, and framed you for wronging me! It must be a human! You."

"Bitch!" The emperor got up abruptly, and kicked Luo Fu on the kneeling knee hard on the shoulder: "Shuyu is your own sister! Such viciousness, is she worthy of being a human being?"

Luo Fu kowtowed like pounding garlic, sobbing and crying and shouting: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with concubines! Concubines really wronged the emperor! I hope the emperor will learn from you!"

"The Emperor's Mingjian?" Concubine Yi smiled calmly, a faint cold color condensed on her face, against which there was a hint of ridicule against the warm sunlight: "I remember that there was an allusion in the previous dynasty. Empress Wu maliciously framed and hid the witchcraft puppet in the quilt of the Queen. The princess was dissatisfied, and tried to do harm by practicing witchcraft in the bedroom. After Gaozong heard this, Long Yan was furious, and under the guidance of this court lady, he inspected the witchcraft puppets, which led to the deposed king and queen."

Luo Fu turned pale with shock, before she recovered, Concubine Yi said sharply: "Luo often learns from the past and applies what he has learned to the present. He is really as smart as empress filial piety. It's a pity that this cleverness is used in the wrong place!"

Xi Wei, who was watching the reversal of the situation from afar, looked a little unnatural. She stared at Wan Yu and Concubine Yi, and a shadow of suspicion rose in her heart.After a long while, seeing Luo Fu crying hurt, she couldn't help but comfort her: "Your Majesty, Luo Changzai also made a mistake in a moment of confusion, please forgive me lightly."

Luo Fu was even more dumbfounded when she heard Xi Wei's words, she turned her head and stared at her, and said angrily, "Mr. An, you and I"

"Luo Chang is here, don't say the wrong thing in front of the imperial court, be careful that the emperor's anger will implicate your mother's family!" Xi Wei interrupted Luo Fu before she could speak, "I know you have always been suspicious of Empress Renxiao. Death is harmed by others, and you are not hesitant because of concubine Wan's doting on you, but no matter what, you can't do such a wrong thing that affects the whole family!"

"You talk nonsense! I didn't do it! I didn't!" Luo Fu's roar was close to madness, and the hairs on the ears stood on end: "I have a deep friendship with my elder sister. Sister's death framed her!"

A sharpness flashed in Rong Yue's eyes, she looked at Luo Fu who was crying and sighed coldly: "Everyone heard it, it was she who recognized that she was jealous of Concubine Wan, in this way, she can do this , is not unexpected.”
