The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 425 First Defeat ([-])

At that time, there were not too many candles burning in the hall, and Wan Yu's complexion was hidden in a cloud of gloom, making it unreal.

She sat upright on the front seat, and the light moonlight poured into the hall from the angled window, hitting the hem of her crimson plum cloak.

She straightened her skirt and looked at Ru Ge with a half-smile.

Ru Ge's finely sewn silk cloak has long been soaked in sweat.

She looked at Wanyu's calm and watery face, and she couldn't help feeling chills in her heart.

Such a person, taking the whole chess game into his own calculations, is indeed much more sophisticated than Rong Yue.

She has status, love, beauty, and wisdom.

But he and Rong Yue colluded together and offended her, so how could he survive?
When I was working in Xinzheku in the past, I only thought that the lives of concubines in the harem were glamorous, but serving the emperor with color can guarantee a lifetime of glory.

Relying on her unparalleled beauty and scheming, Ru Ge thought that everyone in the harem could be played by her in applause.

But how can it be predicted that Wan Lai and Rong Yue are very difficult to get along with.

In the current situation, if I don't trust him politely, even if I save my life, the days to come will be like walking on eggshells.

If he wanted to protect himself well, he could only rely on Wannai, or get rid of her completely.

Seeing that her plot was exposed by others, and all the evil things she did were seen by Wannao, Ru Ge changed her sad and pitiful expression, but her eyes became clearer: "I want to ask my concubine Wan, how can I protect my concubine?" Is there a way for the concubine to survive?"

Wan Lai's eyes could not stop wandering on Ru Ge's body, she sized her up carefully, and then said: "You are relying on the noble concubine, pretending to be attached to the palace, double-faced and three-handed, like cattail grass on the wall, it is really daunting. You have such a temperament, why should the palace want you?" Do you care about your life? If you want to find a way to survive, I will show you a clear way. If today's matter, you can make the noble concubine lose power, then in the harem, I will be the respected one. I can protect myself You are in no danger. But if you are still thinking about it, you will be flattered at both ends." She closed her voice and said with a sneer: "I just want you to know that being the emperor's concubine, sometimes, it's better to just be a Xin The handyman of Zheku, please come comfortably."

With just this one sentence, Wanyu ordered Yunchan to invite Ruge out of the palace.

This night, Ru Ge is doomed to sleepless.

She couldn't help thinking about Wannai's words, tripping Rongyue, she still had a way to live, but if she followed Rongyue's words and executed the nanny, it would be a dead end.

So, where does she have any choice?

But to bring down Rong Yue, how can it be easy?
She racked her brains and finally came up with a dangerous plan, but this plan can only be successful with the help of Wannai.

Waking up the next morning, a strange thing happened in the palace.

Ru Ge seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of him in the entire palace.

Rong Yue drafted an order to search the Sixth Palace, but it was fruitless after half a day's work, but at this time another spies came to report, the nuns had been tortured all night, and they were almost unable to hold on, if they didn't do anything else, they might be exposed.

If you can't find Ru Ge, how can others expect to find him?

Up to now, the only way to survive is to take risks.

So I had to order Quezhen to look for the eyeliner placed by the Punishment Department early in the morning, and wait for the opportunity to do it.

However, once a person panics in his heart, he is very likely to do impulsive things.With Rong Yue's arrangement now, she has already pushed herself to a dead end.

There was a ten-thousandth vision in his heart, hoping that this matter would go smoothly, but in the end, the sky failed to fulfill his wish, the emperor had already placed many guards in the Punishment Department, and just waiting for that person to do it, he took him down in one fell swoop.

After the inner eunuch was taken down, he was interrogated together with the nanny, and the matter was settled cleanly in two or three strokes.

The emperor was furious, and hurriedly ordered Liang Jiugong to take Rong Yueyu to see him.

When Rong Yue entered Qianqing Palace, her expression was extremely calm. After seeing the emperor's respectful blessing, she pretended not to know and asked: "The emperor hastily announced the arrival of his concubine, why?"

The emperor looked at her indifferently, and said coldly: "Did you do it?"

Rong Yue asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

"You still pretend you don't know?" The emperor pushed the confession on the case to Rong Yue, the paper fell to Rong Yue's feet, Rong Yue bent over to pick it up, after reading it, she opened her eyes wide and sobbed sadly: " Your Majesty, the concubines have never done it! Why did they all want to wrong the concubines? The concubine, Xiao Luzi, the inner eunuch, the concubines don't know him at all, he."

"You don't know?" The emperor said angrily: "Why did the three of them wrong you instead of others? Concubine, you really disappoint me!"

Rong Yue slumped on the ground with one foot limp, crying helplessly, "Your Majesty, this concubine really didn't do this! Why did this concubine want to kill my little elder brother? Yu Wan has always been on good terms with this concubine, The concubine is raising three sons at her knees, and the crown prince of the Eastern Palace has been determined, so what is the benefit to the concubine if she does this?"

"I originally wanted to ask you this, when you have always been gentle and kind, when did you become so cruel and ruthless?"

Rong Yue cried even worse. She knelt down and pondered for a long time before she suddenly realized, she said in surprise: "Your Majesty! Someone must be framing my concubine in this matter! Concubine please ask the emperor to watch carefully, don't listen to the one-sided words of several people! Concubine Please ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter with the Ministry of Rites, and give justice to my concubine!"

The emperor snorted, and said in a deep voice: "Framed you? Tell me, who wants to frame you?"

Rong Yue was silent for a moment, then murmured in a daze: "Wan'er?" With that sound, she suddenly stood up screaming, "Your Majesty! It's Wan'er! That nanny is so weird! If the concubine wanted to kill Yu Wan's child , why didn't she murder her when she was pregnant, but waited for her to give birth, and broke the youngest son's foot in full view? What good would this do for the concubine? On the contrary, Yuwan is a member of the concubine's palace Well, there is something wrong with her, and the concubine can't get away with it! Your majesty, this matter is unreasonable! The emperor thought about it carefully, that day Yu Wan gave birth, and the concubine was the head of the palace. It's an ordinary thing. Why did Wan'er come prepared, and she had planned early on to ask Imperial Doctor Bai to wait outside Chengqian Palace? How could she know that there would be changes in the palace? The concubine checked the records of the imperial hospital in private , Doctor Bai wasn't on duty that day!"

Rong Yue's successive words immediately aroused the emperor's doubts.

What she said was not unreasonable.

If it is said that Rong Yue is jealous of Yu Wan's pregnancy, she could have secretly murdered her during her pregnancy, but it is difficult to find out who did it.

Furthermore, even if it is vital, it is not as clean and neat as it was poisoned, so why break the young son's foot?

Yu Wan is just a promised position, so what kind of threat will the child she bear pose to Rong Yue?
As she said, the middle palace has been established, and she has devoted herself to raising three sons under her knees, so why would she murder other people's children?

These things, when you think about it carefully, really don't make sense.
