The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 301 Temptation ([-])

At that time, in Chengqian Palace, Rong Yuefang came out from Yinti's residence.

Yu Yinti had been busy for a whole day in front of the couch, and now the fever finally subsided.

She was very hungry after not eating for a long time, so she ordered Lian Xin to go to the small kitchen to heat up some porridge.

She sat in the bedroom, took out a plain blue brocade box from the drawer of the dressing table, opened it slowly, and gently picked up a string of agate bracelets and a pair of emerald earrings with gold dots in it, her complexion suddenly changed turned cloudy.

At this time, Xi Cui came in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge, respectfully placed it in Rong Yue's hand, and bowed down: "Madam, after working hard all day, it's not easy to eat too much food at night, Sister Lian Xin I have prepared a bird's nest for you, you should settle in sooner."

Rong Yue stared at her, and said slowly: "Go to see her?"

Xi Cui was a little embarrassed for a moment, and forced to make amends with a smile: "Don't worry, my maidservant, I know what to say and what not to say. Concubine Wan is kind to my maidservant, but these years, my maidservant has been by my lady's side, so I can tell the difference naturally." Whichever is more important."

Rong Yue threw the agate bracelet back into the brocade box casually, and said with a sneer: "They are all the best things, and this bracelet alone won't even give you a piece of silver in Chengqian Palace for a year. You take it Come to this palace, what should I do if I have a favor like you?"

Xi Cui repeatedly kowtowed, her eyes were fixed on the ground, and she didn't dare to look at Rong Yue: "Your maidservant absolutely dare not think about those false things, your maidservant serves your mother, and your maiden treats your servant well. thing."

Rong Yue looked at her coldly for a long time, then turned her eyes away, and raised her eyebrows with a smile: "After all, I have not wasted my trust in you. You are watching how Yin Zhu dies, and you need to know, and the waiter will sit down in this palace. , if you have two hearts, what will happen to you?"

She stood up, walked around Xi Cui's side twice, and suddenly stood in front of her, swept her trembling body with her armor, and whispered: "From now on, follow Ben Gong and serve her. "

Xi Cui was shocked, and said happily repeatedly: "This servant thanked the imperial concubine for her great kindness. In the future, I will serve the imperial concubine and empress properly, and I will take the lead in the imperial concubine's empress!"

Rong Yue nodded with a smile, took two mouthfuls of the bird's nest porridge on the table, suddenly her hands burned, as if scalded by the residual heat of the porcelain bowl, and immediately smashed the porridge bowl to the ground.

Xi Cui was taken aback for a moment, then she stood up suddenly to protect Rong Yue, and said anxiously: "My lady, what's wrong?"

She watched Rong Yue's fingertips get scalded with two blisters of blood, and her heart tightened immediately: "How could this be? The congee was served by the maidservant, and she dared to bring it to the empress only after making sure it was warm. This"

Rong Yue's face turned cold, and she said coldly: "Forget it, the appetite left and right just now is gone, you clean this place up, then leave."

Rong Yue turned around and walked to the couch, lifted the quilt and lay down quietly.

Xi Cui was the person who used to be by Wanyu's side. Since she wanted to compete with Yide for the post, she began to show her favor to Xi Cui intentionally, and would even reward generously if she got something good on weekdays.

In order for her to be sincere to herself, even the bowl of blood swallow donkey-hide gelatin that Yin Zhu drank was made by Xi Cui. If she wants to get involved in this matter, there is no other way out except to be sincere to herself in the future.

It's just that he was so defensive. At first, it wasn't because he was afraid of Wanyu, but he didn't want to test him today, but he really was her.

Rong Yue didn't feel a chill in her heart, even though she was different from the past, after all, she never harmed Wanyu and Yide, why did she doubt and test herself so far?
Or is it true that as Lian Xin said, from the very beginning, Wan Lai's friendship with her was due to her family background.

Deliberately approaching, waiting for an opportunity to show goodwill, and waiting for the two of them to be as close as Jinlan, can they have time to assassinate and preserve the glory of their fellow Yide Niu Hulu family?
Is this really the case?

She didn't dare to think carefully, if she hadn't stabilized the servant girl Xi Cui in the past, what would have happened to her if she revealed everything in the Wanyi Palace today.

This is the Jinlan sister that I have trusted and never doubted until now?

Rong Yue smiled wryly, then went out with the palace lights, and fell into a light sleep.

When Li Yin returned to Changchun Palace in a hurry, it was already past time.I thought Wanyu had already rested, but saw that the bedroom was still brightly lit, so she went in and replied: "Your Majesty, Xicui her."

Wanyu's voice sank, and she said coldly, "But you went straight into Chengqian Palace?"

Li Yin nodded, Wanyou frowned and sighed, and raised her hand to order him to go down and rest.

There was a long silence in the hall, Yun Chan was waiting beside Wan Yu, seeing her sad face, she wanted to ask a few times, but the words were choked back in her throat.

About a quarter of an hour later, seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't bear to persuade him: "Your Majesty, you should rest earlier, no matter what happens, we will talk about it tomorrow."

"How can I be able to sleep?" Wan Yu squinted at her, her eyes full of confusion: "That person is Rong Yue, the elder sister who I have been calling for nearly ten years. I don't believe how others say she is not. But why must this matter be right in front of our eyes, making it inevitable for me to avoid it?"

"Xicui didn't tell me anything, how would the empress know?"

Wanyu's expression gradually calmed down, she frowned and shook her head, and said: "Just now I asked her whether Yinzhu had been in or out of Chengqian Palace. She didn't even think about it, so she answered me never. How can the sweeping maid of Chengqian Palace know who Yinzhu is? Look at the piece of white marble pinned to her waist, how can it be admired by ordinary palace people? The brocade box I ordered you to give her during the day, but Hand it over to her personally?"

Yun Chan replied in a steady voice: "Naturally, she only said she was happy after accepting it, and she is busy to come to thank the empress."

"If she is happy, she will find a place where there is no one to wear it. How can there be a maid who has suffered in the palace who does not love beauty? But she has never touched the very best agate bracelet."

Yun Chan stared at Wan Yu with dumbfounded eyes, and asked in amazement: "How does your empress know that she has touched this thing?"

Wan Lai smiled wryly: "I ordered Bai Changqing to apply a layer of centipede belly poison on it. When people touch it, the skin will burn and produce bleeding blisters. There is no need for treatment, and it will disappear by itself in three or two days. Just now I saw that her skin is as creamy and smooth as silk, how can there be any symptoms of being in contact with this thing?"

Yun Chan let out an 'oh', and asked again: "So, the empress suspects that the imperial concubine empress has really done something shameful, so she is so cautious?"

"I'd rather be wrong." Wanyu's face lost any color, she pondered for a moment, and sighed to the sky: "How do you want me to believe that such a kind and docile person would do this behind his back? A lot of wrong things? Looking at my sister taking care of Yinti during the day, she looks like a loving mother. How can such a person be as miserable as I thought?"

"how come."
