The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 234

Cigarettes in the Boshan furnace curled up on the emperor's gloomy face. He stared at Lin Lan with vain eyes. After a long silence, he said, "But you did it alone. Was there anyone instigating it?"

Lin Lan shook her head abruptly: "No one instigated it, and it's all because of the wrong idea of ​​this servant!"

In fact, what Linlan said just now is the intention of what Linlan said, but Wanyu knows best.

Not to mention that Rong Yue didn't do such horrible things as she said at all, even if she did, she could just tell Wan Yu, why do she have to do this dangerous thing of beheading herself?

She said this because Empress Dowager Renxian pressed her every step of the way, seeing that Wanyu was about to plead guilty, so she stepped forward to take the punishment for her master.

Empress Dowager Renxian especially didn't believe it, and asked solemnly: "You have thought it through clearly, this matter is a capital crime of beheading, so you just admit it?"

Lin Lan nodded and said nothing, Wanya understood her thoughts, if she came out to admit that this matter was done by her and had nothing to do with Lin Lan, I am afraid that Lin Lan would die, so she quickly knelt down and persuaded: "Your Majesty , Empress Dowager, such incidents in the concubine's palace are all because of the concubine's lax control." She said, with tears in her eyes but a bit of hatred: "Confused servant girl, what happened to Concubine Ruoxian?" , I will not pamper you lightly!"

Lin Lan kowtowed and whimpered to Wanyu, "Your Majesty, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong!"

Empress Dowager Renxian looked at her master and servant with cold eyes, nodded her head and said calmly: "The Ai family didn't know when the stage in this palace was moved to Changchun Palace. Your master and servant sang 'Li Daitao stiff' very well. Well, the Ai family sees that even the actors from the Shengping Administration are no match for him."

Wanyu ignored her, and only shed two lines of tears to express her love to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my concubine and maidservant committed a wrong thing, so I handed her over to my concubine to take her back for severe punishment. example, so that others won’t get the wrong idea again.”

The emperor naturally understood that this matter had nothing to do with Linlan, she was just admitting this matter on behalf of Wanyu, avoiding the embarrassment of the stalemate between him and Queen Mother Renxian.He rested his chin and pretended to think for a moment, then stood quietly with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, take your own person back to the palace to discipline, just a little bit, don't let her go lightly."

Wannai and Linlan wanted to kowtow to thank her, but the Empress Dowager Renxian threw up her sleeves and said angrily: "Emperor, a maid in the palace is no better than a master. How can there be a chance to correct a mistake? Others have no mistakes and are diligent every day. This hoof committed a crime." To commit such a heinous crime, the emperor intends to make it so easy? She dares to poison Concubine Xian today, and murder the heir tomorrow, and after that, what absurd things will be done to kill the king and treason!"

"Then according to what the Empress Dowager wants, what should I do?"

The Empress Dowager Renxian smiled lightly: "Murdering the master should be punished by Ling Chi. However, the concubine is pregnant, so she can't hear these bloody things. So." She hesitated slightly, and said lightly: "Give her a white silk, It can be regarded as saving face.”

Wan Lai was extremely shocked when she heard these words, as if thunder was crackling above her head one by one.

She suddenly raised her head, fixed her eyes on the Empress Dowager Renxian and begged for mercy: "The Empress Dowager is merciful, concubine, please be merciful!"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Renxian was unmoved, she turned to the emperor again: "Your Majesty! Linlan is pure in nature. Although she has done something wrong, she is not guilty of death! The maids are all women from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia."

"Are you crazy?" The Empress Dowager Renxian interrupted Wanyu's words with a strong tone, but her face was as calm as usual and she said calmly: "The Ai family has lived in this palace for half their life. , really rare!"

The emperor didn't say a word, and his face became more and more innocent, like the gloomy sky before a thunderstorm.

He looked at the weeping pear blossoms and the rainy Wanyi and the downcast Linlan, and saw the Empress Dowager Renxian staring at Linlan with a fierce look in her eyes, and her clenched palms gradually clenched into bloodshot fists. : "The Empress Dowager knows that this matter is strange, is she really going to be so persistent?"

This is the first time since the emperor ascended the throne, there is no Empress Dowager Chenghu Renxian as the empress mother.But now the Empress Dowager Renxian is also angry, and she is more determined by his agitation: "I don't know if she has been wronged or not. The Ai family only knows that she has pleaded guilty. It is the rule set by the ancestors that murdering the master should be punished with death. Now it is not true. It is kindness to implicate her nine clans. Why, is the emperor going to change the family law of the ancestors now?"

The emperor sulked, and asked again: "I asked the queen mother, but it is necessary to execute this maid?"

The queen mother was startled, and said without thinking: "Yes!"

The blood on the emperor's face gradually faded, he turned his head to the door and shouted angrily to introduce Liang Jiugong into the hall.He pointed at Lin Lan, who was kneeling down, and ordered: "Drag her down and put her in the Punishment Department, and give Bai Ling at noon tomorrow!"

Wannai heard the emperor's words, regardless of her pregnancy, she almost threw herself in front of Lin Lan to protect her, and looked at the emperor with her dark peach eyes filled with tears: "Your majesty, this matter."

"Don't say any more." The emperor interrupted her resolutely, and with a wave of his big hand, he ordered Liang Jiugong to drag Lin Lan down.

Wanyu still wanted to stop her, but Concubine Yi stopped her, and sternly reprimanded: "Now you are in front of the imperial court, don't forget your own identity."

When Lin Lan was escorted down by several eunuchs, she didn't struggle for a moment, but smiled and shook her head at Wanyu.

Guerlain, who smiled as if blooming in the frosty moon, was determined and cold, with three parts of poignancy and seven parts of calmness.

After all, she is such a stubborn woman, the same as when she first met her when she first entered Wanyu.

Even the emperor was secretly startled when he saw her so calm, so he looked at her a few more times.It wasn't until she was escorted out of the palace gate that she softly comforted the crying Wannai, "I know your benevolence, but the palace maid has done something wrong, and that is her due destination. Since she entered the palace, that fate I can't help her. If you really think she is caring, I will point out better ones for you tomorrow."

A life, a life that the emperor ordered her to die despite knowingly being wronged!
The light in Wanyu's eyes gradually dimmed, and she stopped crying and said to the emperor in a solemn and solemn voice: "The emperor knows that Lin Lan has been wronged, why should he deal with it like this?"

"Wanbi, don't lose your sense of control when you speak!"

The emperor's sudden reprimand in this life made Wanyan even more disheartened.Later, the emperor coldly ordered Concubine Yi to send Wanyu back to the palace to take care of the dragon fetus in her womb, so that she should not worry about other things.

Wan Lai angrily turned around and left, she walked very fast, without any hesitation about the dragon heir in her belly, several times her feet were empty and she almost fell, but fortunately Concubine Yi and several palace servants were protecting her and nothing happened.

Empress Dowager Renxian unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth slightly, she used to express her hatred for taking away her husband for not being able to repay Concubine Dong E's favor by the late emperor, but now seeing Wanyu losing the emperor's heart, somehow, a tinge of joy arose in her heart.
