The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 232 Bo Luohui ([-])
Hearing that the three characters 'Qiguiren' in the emperor's mouth were pronounced very strongly, Empress Dowager Renxian immediately understood the implication contained in his words.

Empress Dowager Renxian smiled wryly, and her voice was like the rustling of incense ashes burning in the Boshan furnace: "The emperor is a man, and men naturally don't understand women's thoughts. There is no sisterhood in this harem. Don't say it." It was the empress dowager's relatives who once thought of ways to harm her, and Aijia had a close relationship with the concubine Mourning in the past. Didn't she still poison the emperor's son in Aijia's womb and was executed by the late emperor? Bones, the emperor should not just look at people with his eyes." She caressed her chest and said in a deep voice, "If you want to be transparent, you have to use your heart."

"I just looked at it with my heart, and then I realized that Wanyu and Yide didn't have this kind of heart. If you are so self-sufficient, the Queen's Lady should take care of her own status and say less."

The emperor intended to protect Wanyu, but this made Concubine Yi feel a little relieved.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this was not done by Wanyu. The reason why the Queen Mother Renxian insisted on her is probably because she was too close to Wanyu's favor, which led to Borzigit Teqimuge The reason for not being valued by the emperor.

Now that this happened, the Empress Dowager Renxian naturally has to go along with it, even if she can't convict Wan Lai, the more the emperor alienates her, the more sure the Mongolian concubine will be her successor.

Concubine Yi was thinking of making a sound when she suddenly heard Empress Dowager Renxian clap her hands. When she raised her head, she saw Liang Jiugong bringing an eunuch and a court lady into the room.

The emperor moved his body, pointed to the two and asked, "Who is it?"

Empress Dowager Renxian leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Let the two of them talk to the emperor themselves."

The maid followed the words of Empress Dowager Renxian and knelt down and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the servant is a maid in the conservatory, and she lives in the same verandah with Xiangqing who serves in the small kitchen in the concubine's palace. Xiangqing has been here for nearly a month. Always in a trance, occasionally waking up in the middle of the night screaming, talking nonsense about her own life soon. Later, last night, after Xiangqing had dinner, she suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. I went to look for the imperial physician on duty in the palace, but when the slaves came back, there was no trace of Xiangqing."

As soon as the words fell, another eunuch also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the servant is the eunuch who is in charge of purchasing for the palace masters to go out of the palace. Today, when the palace gate first opened, the servant came out from the corner gate. The eunuch in charge, Li Yin, transported a corpse out of the palace, saying that he had suffered from colic eczema and died suddenly. The slave took a peek, and saw that the maid's lips were black, which seemed to be caused by poisoning. When the slave sent embroidery samples to Changchun Palace, I had two face-to-face meetings with that palace lady, and that palace lady is clearly Xiangqing who is on duty in the small kitchen of Changchun Palace!"

The anger in the hall suddenly became tense, the emperor suddenly raised his eyes, and asked the eunuch with a gloomy expression, "Can you see clearly?"

The eunuch answered with certainty, Wan Lai suddenly felt five thunders exploding in her ears, and it was hard to hear what the eunuch and maid said later.

She felt dizzy for a while, she stroked her forehead with her palm, and pressed her body tightly against the back of the chair.

According to the rules in the palace, eunuchs and maids who die of illness must be reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will make proper arrangements for funerals.

However, if a diligent court lady meets a benevolent master, it is not uncommon for her to arrange a funeral for her in private.

But the bad thing about this is that Xiangqing is very likely to be involved in the poisoning of Rongyue. At this moment, Wannai's actions like this are like digging a deep hole for herself, and she even pushed herself into the ground with her own hands. into the bottom of the pit.

After the eunuch and the palace maid had finished speaking, the Empress Dowager Renxian looked at Wanyu coldly, and said, "Wanyu, are you still kneeling?"

Wan Lai panicked for a moment and got up to kneel, but Concubine Yi woke up and stopped her, and replied to the Queen Mother: "Wan Concubine has always been kind to the palace people, and everyone in the palace knows that she arranged the funeral of the palace maid privately." , it is also because of her benevolence in her heart. Although it is unreasonable to act like this, it is always within reason."

"The Ai family is talking to the concubine Wan, why do you interrupt?" The Empress Dowager said with a look of hesitation: "The Ai family sees that you are becoming more and more unruly now!"

Concubine Yi remained silent, got up and knelt down, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my concubine dare not argue with the Queen Mother, please make up your mind on this matter."

The emperor thought for a moment, tapped the yellow pear wood case with his knuckles and said: "Even if there is no maid in the palace, it is normal, how can it be related to the poisoning of Concubine Xian?"

The Empress Dowager Renxian flicked her sleeves and said firmly: "Does the Emperor not believe it?" She smiled, and then told Liang Jiugong: "Give the things found in the Xiangqingyu room to the imperial physician Fu."

With a promise, Liang Jiugong took out a bag of light white powder from his bosom and handed it to Fu Zhuo.

After a short inspection, Fu Zhuo bowed his hands and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Return to the emperor, this thing is indeed the powder made by Bo Luohui dried and ground. It is the amount in my hand, which is enough to kill several people!"

At that time, Wanyu seemed to have foreseen this matter, but she was not very surprised.

When the emperor asked her if she knew about this matter, she shook her head and said: "I don't know, although this matter refers to my concubine, but my concubine has never done it."

"You don't know?" The Empress Dowager Renxian raised her eyebrows indifferently: "Of course you won't admit to the death penalty of beheading. Now that there are all witnesses and material evidence, what's the difference between what you know and what you don't know?" Ran said: "Emperor, now that this matter has been clearly revealed, there is a lot of commotion in the palace. Even though Concubine Wan is pregnant with children, but her murder of Concubine Xian even caused Concubine Xian to go crazy and hurt the emperor's dragon body. Such vicious thoughts are unacceptable." No way."

Seeing that the emperor was hesitant, the Empress Dowager Renxian knew that he loved Wanyu and would not take it seriously, so she did not wait for the emperor to reply, and said with a straight face: "My concubine, Niu Hulu, has evil intentions and a vicious temperament. She will be under house arrest from now on." The Changchun Palace will only be released after the birth of the emperor's heir."

Wanyu also didn't care that she was a man with a body, she knelt down again and said in a deep voice: "If the Empress Dowager insists on bringing this matter up on the concubine, the concubine has nothing to say. I just ask the emperor to learn from her, and the concubine treats the concubine well." The heart of the concubine is true, even if I hurt myself, I can't bear to hurt my sister!" After saying that, he kowtowed and touched his forehead to the cold and clean ground.

Concubine Yi also bowed deeply, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, since Wan'er entered the palace, she has been favored by the emperor. Isn't there not enough things that have framed her? Now that she is pregnant with the emperor's descendants, if you are suspicious of her?" Wouldn't it make her even more sad?"

Although the long silence in the hall came to an abrupt end with a deep sigh from the emperor, he got up and got off his seat, went straight to Wanyu and Concubine Yi, leaned over to help them both up, and took Wanyu's hand, and said softly: "I I have never doubted you at all, even if everything points to you, if you say that you are a snake and scorpion, I will definitely not believe it." Seeing Wannao's palm trembling uncontrollably, he clenched it slightly harder, and continued with tenderness in his eyes: " Don't be afraid. I said, you can rest assured that I am here."
