The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 40
When leaving the Yikun Palace, the thunderstorm had weakened, and the accumulated water on the eaves of the palace wall slowly dripped, hitting the green brick floor of the Changjie with 'crackling', causing layers of ripples in the accumulated water.

Wan Yu propped up an oil umbrella with a painted peacock pattern on the screen and walked forward with a slightly dazed expression.

What the elder sister said inside and outside the meaning is to keep her from wading into this muddy water, but looking at the palace, she and Rong Yue are the only ones who support and comfort each other all the way. If I stand by and watch, I don't know when Rong Yue will be able to get revenge .

After thinking for a long time, she ran all the way to the Fengcai Gate on the west side of Qianqing Palace, and repeatedly told the gate guards that she wanted to see the emperor.

The guard stopped her with a stern face, and did not pass it on to the inside.

Just when she was arguing with the guards, Ronggui came out with the court lady Chan'er, raised her eyebrows at Wanyu, and raised her hand to stop her: "The emperor has rested with Cheng Rui. Are you grounded together with Concubine Xian?"

Wan Lai blessed the nobleman Rong: "As long as the elder brother is safe, since the emperor has rested, I will come to meet the saint tomorrow after greeting the empress."

Seeing that she turned to leave, Mrs. Rong must have stopped her with her slender eyes: "Concubine Xian murdered the emperor's heir, and when the confession of the Punishment Department is presented in the future, the emperor will definitely punish the bitch to death. Mrs. Wan thought that relying on Youyi With the support of the concubine, can you save her?"

Wan Lai thought to herself, if the apron Rong Yue kept close to her body, then Mr. Rong might have tampered with the apron, injuring eight hundred of herself and one thousand of the enemy.

Once this plan succeeds, not to mention Rong Yue's loss of power, he and his elder sister will befriend her, which will definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion.

She stopped and turned around, carefully checked Ronggui's expression and asked deliberately: "Ronggui, big brother is suffering, I think you must be in pain like a knife in your heart, right?"

"Nonsense!" Rong Guiren's face was fierce, his cheeks were flushed and he said angrily, "I wish I could tear that bitch into pieces immediately to comfort my son's pain."

She pointed and glared, and when she mentioned Rong Yue, she gritted her teeth and the corners of her lips trembled slightly. Wanna saw that although she was usually domineering and domineering, she loved Chengrui very much, and it was hard to fake her angry expression now, so she dispelled her disapproval in her heart. her doubts.She changed the subject and said calmly: "Sister thinks Concubine Xian is a fool?"

"Is she stupid?" Rong Gui sneered, brushed Juanzi on her hand and walked in front of Wanyu: "Using such vicious means to take my son's life, I see that she can't be more shrewd."

Wan Lai closely followed Rong Guiren's footsteps, and said with an apologetic smile: "If you want me to say, Concubine Xian is the most stupid. Sister thinks about it, the elder brother lives in the elder brother's house, if she wants to murder, she can use this method to bribe Xin Zheku Huanyi palace lady, let eldest brother change clothes on weekdays and be stained with poisonous poison, so she will not choose to clean it? Even if she wants to poison herself, she can increase the weight of poison and kill elder brother directly, anyway Now that the matter is done, why not do it neatly?"

"I look at you, but you are very thoughtful." The honorable man snorted without hesitation, and then stroked the jasper hairpin on the hairpin: "The palace maid in Huanyi is not close to her, and she will inevitably bite out in order to protect herself when something happens in the future. She's coming."

"Sister is right." Wanyu smiled, and turned her face to look at Ronggui: "Liu Yue is just a maidservant who was assigned to serve the concubine Xian after she entered the palace, how close can she be to her? Before His Majesty the Emperor asked her, she was already in a hurry to get rid of her."

Rong Gui was startled, frowned and thought for a moment: "That maidservant is weird, tomorrow I will go to the Department of Punishment to stare at them for interrogation." Then he turned his head and glared at Wanyu: "You told me that these are nothing more than I want to remove the suspicion for that bitch, she sent the left and right things, and the person came from her palace, if you say she is innocent, I definitely don't believe it!"

Ronggui's words were so angry that he even walked faster.

The rainy corridor and the newly paved cobblestone road were already slippery. She staggered, and the bottom of the flowerpot tilted, and she was about to fall to the ground.Fortunately, Chan'er helped her up quickly, but although she was fine, the colorful butterfly Juanzi she was holding in her hand was submerged in the puddle.

Chan'er exclaimed in surprise, leaned over to pick up Juanzi, and said anxiously: "Your servant is negligent, I didn't protect the young master well."

Before she could finish speaking, Mr. Rong slapped her hard across the face: "You bastard!"

Perhaps that slap was not enough to dispel her anger, so she raised her foot and kicked Chan'er who was half squatting on the ground on the shoulder.Chan'er fell to the ground in the rain, splashing a layer of water.

Seeing that she was covering her face but not daring to cry, Wanyu hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: "Even if Mrs. Rong is angry in her heart, she shouldn't beat the palace servants like this casually."

Wanyu's persuasion made Ronggui even more angry, she raised her finger and pointed at Chan'er and scolded: "The apron sent by the bitch was put on by this bitch for Chengrui, if you serve the master, don't you order it?" You are [-] points shrewd, even if you are beaten to death, it is not an exaggeration! You were originally a sweeping maid in the queen's palace. I see you, a bitch, is used to doing dirty work, and your rough hands and feet are not worthy of serving the master! Tomorrow you will Go to Xinzheku, continue to take the broom to clear the corridor!"

Chan'er clung to the rainwater and crawled to Ronggui's feet, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "My lord, this servant is guilty, please forgive me, please take pity on this servant, don't send your servant to Xinzheku!"

Originally serving in the palace, they were assigned to work as slaves in Xinzheku. After all, they were considered decent. It was fine to do some hard work with a salary, and they would not be bullied.

But if the palace servants from the Sixth Palace of the East and the West, and even the imperial servants made a mistake and were punished to Xinzheku, the treatment they received would be very different.

Once inside, they become servants of servants, who are responsible for sweeping the corridors during the day, weeding the three halls, transporting grain, grazing cattle and sheep and other sundries, and serving tea for other working palace people at night. Handing water, changing clothes and taking a bath, and only sleeping for two hours a day, most of the palace people who were punished to enter the palace died of exhaustion because they couldn't bear the hard work.

Wannai sees that Ronggui has an unrelenting temperament, and today her elder brother is in a bad mood when someone poisons her. She is afraid that Chan'er will not get any good results if she asks for more, so she pretends to be angry and bows her head to Chan'er scolded: "Brother's poisonous hair is probably due to your lack of care in your duties. Now it is a great kindness for Ronggui to save your life. How dare you stay here without knowing what's going on?"

Ronggui was slightly pleased, nodded and said: "Young Wan said some comforting words tonight." Then he kicked Chan'er to vent his anger: "You poor maidservant, get out of here! Why are you kneeling here and pretending to be pitiful? It's disgusting!"

"The left and right are people who are going to be sent away. Sister, why don't you let me take you back to the palace?" Seeing her annoyed look, Wan Yu quickly said, "Li promises to be pregnant, and the tedious things in the Yanxi Palace are not as complicated as that." If Xin Zheku is less, let her follow her younger sister, firstly, she can help her sister discipline, and secondly, the bitch saw clearly the whole story of elder brother's poisoning in Qianqing Palace today, if she is allowed to go to Xinzheku Talking nonsense, gossip is not good for big brother's self-cultivation."

Wan Lai's analysis has three points of truth, Rong Guiren pondered for a moment and said impatiently: "You can do whatever you like, I don't have time to waste time with her in this cold wind."

Then he glanced at Chan'er who was kneeling on the ground, spat in his mouth, turned to the corner door and went.
