The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 426 Unable to Argument ([-])

But if according to what Rong Yue said, Wannai wanted to murder her, but she also lacked a motive.

The two of them have always been on good terms, why did Wan Yu want to do this?
On one side is the gentle and kind imperial concubine, on the other side is the concubine Wan who is quite loved by him.

How could the emperor not dare to relate such an evil thing with the two of them.

When he was in a dilemma, he listened to Rong Yue sobbing and saying a word, which clarified the mystery.

"It was said in the previous dynasty that if the emperor wanted to establish a queen, he had to choose between his concubine and Wan'er. The concubine raised three elder brothers and was a noble concubine with a higher status than Wan'er. Naturally, the chances were greater than Wan'er. Moreover, after the news of self-reliance, Wan'er treats his concubines differently than usual, and she is determined not to gossip with her concubines in Chengqian Palace again. During these days, Wan'er bickers with her concubines No hesitation, it's not that the emperor didn't see it. But he didn't want to." Rong Yue covered her mouth and nose, seeming to be very sad, and cried, "But she didn't want to, she wanted to frame the concubine like this? The concubine and her have supported each other for decades , how could she bear it?"

Rong Yue made a painful statement, which moved the emperor a little bit.

Indeed, the confessions of two midwives and a prisoner of the Department of Punishment were not enough to convict Rong Yue.

For the current plan, Rong Yue can only be imprisoned in Chengqian Palace first, and then order someone to investigate the matter privately, so as not to startle the snake.

Because of Rong Yue's confinement, rumors spread in the palace for a while.

The palace people often commented that the empress of Chengqian Palace had fallen, and the second place would definitely fall on the empress of Changchun Palace.

Both the emperor's two empresses belonged to the Niuhulu clan, and this clan can be regarded as a glorious one.

But who would know that this rumor was first spread from Chengqian Palace?

This word reached the emperor's ears, the emperor's suspicious nature was the most likely to cause suspicion, and gradually, he also separated a little from Wan Lai.

The Minister of Dali Temple secretly visited the family members of the two midwives and the details of Xin Zheku's inner prisoner. Finally, five days later, he straightened out his thoughts and presented the confession to the emperor.

After being tortured, the family members of the two midwives all said that after the accident happened to the midwives, a man came alone and rewarded them with a sum of money.

After several people's descriptions, the painter drew the man's appearance, and people looked at him, but he looked very much like the inner eunuch who served in the Wanyi Palace and replaced Li Yin as the eunuch - Su Li.

As for the inmate Xiao Luzi who was on duty in the Punishment Department and tried to attack the two nuns that day but was captured by the imperial guards, he could not stand the punishment and died. After checking the dispatch records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, It turned out that this person had served Wanyu when she first entered the palace and moved into Yanxi Palace, and was later sent to the Punishment Department to be on duty because Wanyu was convicted and demoted.

The evidence in front of him shows that this matter was originally done by Wan Lai, with the intention of framing Rong Yue.

It was just a day of spring, Wan Yu took a Yaoqin and stood under the Ling window, playing a solo with the warm wind and warm sun.

At the end of the song, seeing Yun Chan entering the bedroom with a smile, she stopped the piano sound and stretched lazily.

"In the past few days, the emperor doesn't come here very often." Yunchan tightened the strings for Wanyu, and turned the jade book to the back.

Wanyu smiled to herself, and fiddled with the strings: "The rumors in the palace are spreading like that, the emperor has to cool down the palace for a while to avoid suspicion, what is there to make a fuss about?"

Yun Chan nodded and said with a smile: "Now that the noble concubine is grounded, although the emperor has not issued an order to punish it, it will be a matter of time. At that time, the status of the empress will be the most honorable in the palace. It is rumored that the empress will succeed the new queen, Not for nothing."

Wan Lai shook her head indifferently: "I have never cared about those who stand up for success or not. Now, I only want to seek justice for elder sister and Wen Yin. She has done a lot of crimes, so I don't care about it." There will be good retribution."

While talking, Shuangruo hurriedly opened the curtain and entered, saying that Liang Jiugong was outside to meet him, and the emperor had summoned him.

Yun Chan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, just watch, the Emperor still misses you in his heart, just now, people came to remind you."

After saying this, Wanyu waited on her happily and got up to go out, but she saw Shuangruo pressed Wanyu's shoulder, shaking her head nervously and said: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Liang, you came with the guards."

"Guards?" Yun Chan wondered: "Didn't you always carry the sedan chair for the affairs of Empress Xuan on weekdays? It's really rare today, how could anyone ask the guards to escort the empress to the Qing Palace? No one let others see it, and thought It is to press the prisoner."

Before Yun Chan finished her sentence, she felt pain in her toes. She lowered her eyebrows and saw that it was Shuang Ruo who had stepped on her plain cloth shoes. She raised her head and looked at her. With a wink, I realized that I had said something wrong, so I immediately stopped talking.

Wan Yu frowned slightly, and left the dormitory without saying a word.

In the courtyard, Liang Jiugong was the leader, and there were eight guards standing behind him. Seeing that Shen Ye was among them, he was staring at Wanyu with stern eyes.

When everyone saw Wanyu, they gave a blessing first, and then listened to Liang Jiugong's words: "Miss Concubine Wan, the emperor invites you."

Wanyu took Yun Chan's hand, and walked forward on her own: "I know, if the eunuch and the guards have something to do, they will go and take care of themselves, and I will be called to do it myself."

Unexpectedly, Liang Jiugong suddenly stopped in front of Wanyu, a little embarrassed: "The emperor has a decree, only Concubine Wan is passed on, and no palace servants are allowed to accompany her."

Yun Chan couldn't help being angry, and pushed Liang Jiugong's hand in front of Wanyu: "What did Mr. Liang say? We won't follow your mother, so why don't the guards follow?"

Liang Jiugong nodded silently, seeing that Yun Chan was still arguing, Wannai raised her voice and said, "Just wait in the palace," after saying that, she left the palace surrounded by guards.

Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo looked at each other, although they didn't know what happened, but everyone knew that something bad happened again, and they found Wan Lai.

Seeing Yun Chan stunned, Shuang Ruo looked around and said, "Why didn't you see Su Li today?"

Yun Chan also looked around anxiously, but she couldn't find anyone, so she said, "I don't see him in the morning."

"Oops." Shuang Ruo hurriedly walked out of the palace: "Hurry up and find Empress De, I will tell the Queen Mother about this first."

Outside the palace, as a slave, Liang Jiugong was supposed to walk behind Wanyu, but now he led all the guards and Wanyu forward, looking solemn along the way, and did not talk to Wanyu.

Wan Yu secretly calculated in her heart, deliberately slowed down her pace and walked side by side with Shen Ye, and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

Shen Ye looked worried, and replied in a deep voice: "The emperor is furious, and the noble concubine is also there."

"Imperial concubine?" Wanyu was so shocked that she couldn't be more shocked: "Isn't she grounded?"

Shen Ye shook his head helplessly: "When Eunuch Liang ordered the servants to come to look for the empress, the noble concubine was crying in front of the imperial court, and the pear blossoms were raining. The servants didn't notice the other things."

Where do I need to see other things?

Just Shen Ye's words already left Wanyan with no time to care about him.
