The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 333 Kindness ([-])

Rongyue Palace has always been the warmest place. Now that winter is cold and snow is falling, the temperature outside the house has plummeted, and there are icicles condensed under the eaves, but this palace is late in spring, early in summer and nights in no exaggeration.

Those who served in Chengqian Palace knew the master's physique and temperament, and often a thin shirt was wrapped inside a warm jacket, and he didn't feel hot when he took off his coat inside.

But that nanny worked in the snow every day, wrapped in three layers of clothes, and suddenly came to her palace, her body was dripping with sweat and greasy.

People kept wiping sweat with their sleeves, blushing and red ears: "In the past, when the Empress Dowager Cihe was here, she treated her servants mercifully and kindly. Everyone in the He Palace was looking forward to being able to work as an official in the Palace of Mercy. It's just that the Empress Dowager left later, and the Empress Dowager Renxian was dissatisfied with Cihe's overshadowing of her limelight in everything during her lifetime, so she vented her anger on the maids and eunuchs. Those who had served the Empress Dowager Cihe's side, those close to them were buried, and alienated Those who were punished were sent to Xin Zheku to be slaves forever. That land is the most grievous, and after many years, only the old slave survived. The palace servants in the kitchen, because they know how to cook the Empress Dowager Cihe's hometown dishes, were accused of being able to cook rice over a fire, and occasionally they were pleased with the Empress Dowager Cihe, and they were given a lot of rewards."

"Looking at the imperial concubine now, the old servant really looks a bit like the Empress Dowager Cihe, and I don't feel the feeling of missing the Lord welling up in my heart, and I am filled with emotion." Mammy said, wiping her cheeks I don't know whether it's tears or sweat: "The old slave knows that there have been rumors in the palace that the sudden death of the Empress Dowager Cihe was inseparable from the Empress Dowager Renxian, so the imperial concubine was suspicious, so she found the old slave. The old slave has no blessing to serve the Empress Dowager Cihe closely, and many things are not very clear. There is only one thing that has been on my mind for many years, but I don't know if it has anything to do with it."

Rong Yue raised her eyebrows and said calmly, "Say."

The mammy's misty eyes slanted slightly to the upper left, as if she was trying to recall the past: "In the two months before the death of Empress Dowager Cihe, she was still full of energy. Walking around in the Ciren Palace, the relationship with the Empress Dowager Cihe has eased a lot. Sometimes the Empress Dowager Cihe will stay in the palace for meals when the Empress Dowager Cihe is interested. Every time when the two empress dowagers eat their meals together, she would always go into the small kitchen to help the old slave. Later, this situation lasted for a month. Occasionally, one day, the empress dowager Cihe suddenly felt chest tightness and discomfort, so she hurriedly called the imperial physician to come for a diagnosis. When the imperial physician entered, the Empress Dowager Cihe had already vomited blood and passed out."

By the time Mammy spoke, her mouth was dry and her voice was hoarse.

Seeing that she was not feeling well, Rong Yue ordered Quezhen to serve a bowl of warm tea, and she drank it like a wolf like a tiger, then put the tea cup away, and then hurriedly said: "The imperial doctor checked the pulse, and said that the empress dowager is kind and gentle." Stomach pain, injury to the root, needs to be recuperated with medicine. But after a few days of recuperation, he passed away. The imperial doctor said that the disaster may come from the mouth, but even though the imperial dining room and the Ministry of punishment inspected the food eaten by the Empress Dowager Cihe, I couldn't find one or two clues. But the old slave thought, if this matter has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager Renxian, why did her maid come to the palace and light a fire, and the Empress Dowager Cihe contracted a heart and stomach disease and died? But if so The matter has something to do with her, so why explain that she eats and eats together, but I have nothing to do with it?"

Mammy let out a long breath, and shook her head again and again: "It's a pity that Empress Dowager Ci He is young, when she is about to enjoy her blessings, she just went like this."

The more Rong Yue listened, the more frustrated she became, and suddenly she burst into flames, shouting sharply: "The cause of my aunt's death is strange, and the emperor doesn't care?"

"Imperial concubine, what should I do?" The nanny gasped in her throat, her face darkened, and she said helplessly, "When Empress Dowager Cihe passed away, the emperor was only ten years old, and Empress Renxiao had not yet entered the palace. Many things in the previous dynasty were handled by the four major auxiliary ministers. As for the harem, it fell on the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Renxian. Not to mention whether there is something strange about this matter, the Empress Dowager Renxian and the Empress Dowager Renxian The Empress Dowager is a close relationship, and the two are noble daughters of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia. Think about it, your concubine, even if the Empress Dowager found out about this matter that day, it is inseparable from the Empress Dowager Renxian, so how could she make a righteous decision to kill her relatives? Her crime? Let's look at the fact that the Empress Dowager Renxian ordered Ci and the empress dowager to be buried with the empress dowager in the palace. People discover the clues and want to get rid of them quickly?"

The starlight in Rong Yue's eyes gradually dimmed, and her brows gradually frowned: "No wonder, no wonder why my aunt died for no apparent reason, but He Gong didn't investigate this matter as a case file. It's no wonder that Empress Dowager Renxian saw her for the first time. The palace is so picky, and now it is even more true, looking for those tricks to torture the palace all day long!"

"Imperial Concubine, this old servant is a person who understands everything in this palace, so I dare to advise you." The nanny stood up tremblingly, and bowed deeply to Rong Yue: "The things in the past, whether right or wrong, have long gone with the wind. I went. Today's Ciren Palace was rebuilt by the emperor's decree. Naturally, it has a new scene. The Mongolian tribe should be the most powerful backing of the Qing Dynasty. With such a background, even if you find out something, No matter how difficult it is to shake the position of Empress Dowager Renxian. The old slave once had the good son of Empress Dowager Cihe, and he has cherished it in his heart for many years. This matter was held in his heart. At first, he only thought of saying that he might cause death, but he did not expect to vomit now. I am happy, and my depression is also relieved a lot.”

Rong Yue has never met her aunt before, but she has a blood relationship after all. Seeing the palace servants who served her aunt remember her so much, she couldn't help but feel moved: "Don't worry, mamma, I have promised you. It will come true. From now on, in this palace, you can spend your old age in peace."

Rong Yue ordered Que Zhen to send the nanny back to Xinzheku, and privately told the head of the House of Internal Affairs to move the nanny to do some light work at the flowers and plants on duty.

Who would have thought that the first person moved out of the Xinzhe library, and the second person would have news.

On the first night that the nun rested in the veranda of flowers and plants, she went there at night.

Rong Yue was furious when she heard the words, and was having breakfast, she threw down the celadon bowl containing freshly ground soy milk: "How can a good person just die? Her methods are too ruthless." some!"

Lian Xinyang ordered all the palace people to retreat, leaned over to carefully pick up the celadon shards, and comforted her, "Your Majesty, let's forget it. What the nanny said made some sense. What happened 20 years ago, we Even if clues are found, the Empress Dowager Renxian cannot be convicted."

Rong Yue stared at the broken porcelain all over the place with dark eyes, and suddenly let out a smirk, and snorted softly with the tip of her nose: "If you do evil yourself, the sky will take it back. Let's see how many days she has in this glorious life!"
