The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 408
Rong Yue's expressive voice and Lian Xin's frightened cry were heard endlessly, Wan Yu cast a sideways glance at her master and servant, suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, frowned and sighed, not wanting to pay attention to it.

Seeing Rong Yue crying earnestly and sadly, after a long time, the emperor said coldly: "I never doubt you, you are the most gentle and kind, how can you do so many dirty things?"

His gaze slowly shifted to the trembling Lianxin, and he changed his expression and said: "But I have seen the temper of your maidservant. You used to dare to boss around De concubine, but now you find it in her verandah. What the hell, this thing can't be done like this, otherwise, how can I do justice to Yinti?"

After all, no matter how much Rong Yue complained and how Lian Xin claimed that she was innocent, she just resolutely ordered people to move Lian Xin to the Punishment Department, and use the running water to find the truth out of her mouth.

How could Rong Yue not know what kind of territory the Punishment Division was?

Even from the dead, the truth can be dug out.Hearing this, when Lian Xin was full of fear and said "Mother, save me", she had already lost her mind and sat slumped on the ground.

At dawn, the warm yellow sun was shrouded in a soft mist, and the red walls and green tiles of the deep palace were covered with a layer of soft milky white, rendering everything hazy.

Such a morning scene, if not for the endless wailing and mourning above the long streets and corridors, would have been the most unusual scene in the Forbidden City in spring.

Yinti's death spread across the six palaces accompanied by the cool morning breeze, and the palace mourned. His biological mother, Nala Junruo, fainted because she couldn't bear the blow.

The news of Lian Xin's entry into the Punishment Department came together, and everyone in the palace was discussing it. In order to avoid suspicion, Rong Yue also avoided the sixth palace greeting today.

When Linlan woke up, she saw Wanyu standing in front of the couch, her first sentence was not about caring about her child, but asking how Yinyu was doing.

Wanyu didn't answer in silence, she just talked about him and said: "The child was born beautifully, the emperor named it Yinzuo, and now it has been moved to elder brother's care."

Hearing He Gong's bitter cries one after another, Lin Lan knew that Yin Yu must be gone.

She clenched her lips and teeth, with a look of resentment, she said with tears: "Sister, who is going to harm Yinqi?"

Wanyu shook her head, told her not to think too much after giving birth, and then ordered someone to move Lin Lan back to her palace with a warm sedan chair, and ordered the palace servants to take care of her.

After all the matters were settled properly, Wanyu went to her own bedroom to warm up her seat, holding tightly in her hand the cloth shoes that Yinti would accept, before she could change into him on his birthday, she burst into tears.

Yun Chan consoled her for a long time, and was rushing Shuang Ruo to provoke the bird's nest porridge into the house, urging Wan Lai to take a bite.

Before the porridge was handed to her hand, Wan Yu wiped her tears and said, "Thanks to your cleverness, otherwise the one who fell into the Punishment Division today would be Bengong."

Shuangruo shook her head and sighed: "Your Majesty is good at planning, and she has seen through the thoughts of the noble concubine."

Yun Chan could not hear what she said, and after asking a few words, she heard Shuang Ruo explain the whole story in detail.

Although Shuangruo is an old man who has served in the palace for a long time, she is not good at urging and delivering babies. Wanyu suddenly asked her to watch over Linlan to give birth, and she already felt that this was inappropriate. Glancing at the white cloth loaded with aconitum powder, she understood what Wan Yu meant, but she wanted her to search her own palace first to see if someone could frame her before the emperor was still in mourning.

Shuangruo probed carefully, and sure enough, she found a dark green pouch under the red sandalwood incense burner in the main hall, untied it, and found that the powder wrapped in it was exactly the same as the aconitum powder.

When she was about to leave the palace, Liang Jiugong had brought the imperial guards inside to search, so she had to hide in the closet to ensure that no one would find her whereabouts.

But the imperial guards searched so meticulously, not to mention the wardrobe, they even searched carefully under the bed where nothing could be hidden.

Although Shuangruo had been secretly praying to avoid disaster, the closet was finally opened by someone.

She was about to cry out in surprise, but the person who opened the closet was also surprised when she saw her, so he missed her mouth in a hurry.

Only then did Shuangruo see clearly that the man was Shen Ye.

Since Shen Ye was the head of the imperial guards, he pretended to search and then closed the closet. After that, no one searched here again.

Only when Shen Ye called loudly that there is no danger here, and ordered the guards to retreat, did she come out of the closet tremblingly.

Later, when she went out of the palace gate, she saw Shen Ye waiting for her in a corner alone, so Shuang Ruo simply told Shen Ye all about it, saying that Wannai was wronged by others, and Shen Ye immediately ordered her to go back to serve her first. So as not to be suspected by others.

When Shuang Ruo entered Yinyu's bedroom, she happened to be seen by Wanyu, but when she heard Wanyu mention this matter to Lian Xin, she immediately understood what Wanyu meant.So he secretly searched for Shen Ye, and explained Wanyu's intentions.

Shen Ye didn't ask much after hearing the words, but ordered Shuangruo to give the pouch to herself, and then urged her to pretend nothing happened, and go to the side hall to take care of Lin Lan's delivery.

Presumably, when Shen Ye searched Lianxin's room, he placed this object in an inconspicuous place for people to search and found it, and that's how Lianxin was convicted.

After Shuang Ruo finished speaking, Wan Yan sighed: "So it was him? This is a serious crime of beheading, how can he help us?"

Yun Chan smiled and said: "Our lady is kind-hearted, and she has grown up with Mr. Shen in friendship, so he can trust her as a person."

Wan Yu was silent for a while, then nodded and said softly: "So, I have to thank him."

On the other side, after Rong Yue returned to Chengqian Palace, although the emperor didn't reprimand her too much, she was still panicked.

That pouch was obviously placed in Wanyu Palace, how could it run to Lianxin's veranda?

Others are fine, but it happens to be Lian Xin!
Lian Xin is usually good at extravagant enjoyment. After following Rong Yue for a long time, Rong Yue loves her, so naturally she has the best things to reward her.Even if it is connected to the verandah where I usually live, it is far away from many servants and lives alone.

But because there are so few people, no one can prove whether she went to the Changchun Palace that day, and no one can prove whether the pouch found in her palace was planted by someone!

These were not what Rong Yue was most afraid of, but Lian Xin knew what she had done.

Although she was sincere, but the emperor ordered her to be tortured, only one life was left, and there was no need to consider other things.

Lian Xin will be tortured if such a will continues, if she lets go for a moment, her evil deeds will be revealed.

How could she accept that she had worked hard for a long time and was ruined once?

But at this time, Que Zhen, who served her most besides Lian Xin, saw her concerns, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Madam, Miss Lian Xin is like this, it may be more or less dangerous, you have to plan for yourself." some!"

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of geckos cutting off their tails and crabs cutting off their feet?"

Rong Yue stared at her with wide eyes: "You want Ben Gong to abandon Lian Xin and take her life?"

Quezhen's complexion darkened, and she nodded heavily: "This is the only way to save your empress! Miss Lianxin has served her for a long time, and the slaves know that your empress is reluctant, but this is the end of the matter, and your empress has no other choice!"

　Sequential teeth: People who are together are arranged in order of age.

　　Beginning in the Kangxi Dynasty, the emperor’s sequence of teeth stipulated that those who died early were not ranked first, but were only attached to the end. Soon he died, but he was not weeded.Such as Yinzuo, born in Kangxi in 19 years, died in 24 years, only six years old, but still ranked, known as "sixth son".Others, such as Yinjin and Yinti, died at the age of eight and three respectively, but still ranked eighteenth and nineteenth.According to this, the princes in the jade ultimatum can be divided into three categories, that is, those who have sequenced teeth, those who have lost their teeth early and those who have not sequenced teeth.The third category includes Chengrui, Chenghu and other eleven persons. The longest one is four years old, and the shortest one dies immediately after birth. They are not ranked in the jade certificate, and only "young age" is written.Yongzheng belongs to the first category, and its ranking has long been fixed. Official and private documents are all commensurate with the fourth elder brother, and there is no confusion.
