The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 457 Spiritual Affairs ([-])

(PS four changes today and two changes tomorrow)

Rong Yue's complexion gradually turned gray, and outside the hall, the rain fell more densely, often accompanied by lightning and thunder.

The gust of wind mixed with rainwater poured into the hall, flying scriptures, talismans, and yellow paper scrolls all over the sky, making it extremely frightening to watch.

Lin Lan pointed to the yellow paper falling down like fallen leaves from dead wood, and she was terrified: "I'm afraid that the tablet of Empress Xiaozhao will be damaged, so I'm going to get angry!"

After the words fell, accompanied by the screams of concubines, the ever-burning lamp in the palace could not be extinguished for no reason.

Rong Yue's complexion gradually turned gray. Although she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, what happened today was a bit too wicked.

Looking at Wan Lai weeping bitterly in this scene, she looks like a ghost who is looking for her life.

Her hair was loose in front of her forehead, and she said in a loud voice: "This memorial tablet has no long legs, can it still fall on the ground by itself? Quezhen is the maidservant of the imperial concubine, how do you count what she said? The concubine looks at you with her own eyes. Lifting up the tablet of Empress Xiaozhao and throwing it on the ground, how can you be wronged? Could it be you, could it be that the concubine threw down the tablet of his eldest sister with his own hands?"

"You..." Rong Yue was speechless for a moment, seeing Wanyan crying even worse, causing all the concubines to come forward to comfort her, she soon realized that today was the situation Wanya set up in advance, so she pointed at her and glared: " It's you! Concubine Wan! You have such a vicious heart! How dare you frame me with the safety of your elder sister's death?"

Concubine Rong Xiuyan couldn't bear to listen to these words, and while protecting Wanyu, she choked: "The imperial concubine should not say a few words, the deep friendship between the imperial concubine and the empress Xiaozhao is well known in the palace. How can she Will you make fun of this in order to frame you?"

Rong Yue sneered and fell silent.

She couldn't argue with anything.

The day's farce ended abruptly in the Taimiao with Wan Lai crying and fainting.

The concubines and concubines of the six palaces were all present to watch the strange event, the sky suddenly changed, the incense was not affected, the wind and rainstorms caused the tablets to fall.
These are all bad things, even if the master doesn't say anything, the slaves will always talk about it.

After coming and going, all the concubines have not yet entered the gate of the Forbidden City, and the news has already reached the ears of the emperor.

At first, it was just an ordinary accident, and when Wanyu returned to the palace to comfort her, and then ordered someone to remake Yide's tablet, she planned to give up.

Unexpectedly, Wanyu couldn't afford to get sick, and she lingered on the sick bed all day long, her complexion was pale, and her high fever persisted.

The emperor was very worried. It took about half a month for this incident, and on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the emperor personally went to the Fengxian Hall to burn incense for the ancestors, but after three sticks of incense, he saw the Buddha statue enshrined in the main hall dripping blood and tears. Immediately terrified.

At the beginning, I thought that someone was deliberately creating evil things to intimidate, so I ordered the Criminal Department of Dali Temple to conduct a continuous investigation, until it proved that the tears of the Buddha statue were indeed blood stains, and then I became afraid.

Fengxian Hall is a family temple dedicated to ancestors, and the emperor worships ancestors. If such a thing happens, it may be bad for the country's fortune.

So I hurriedly asked Qin Tianjian to calculate, and only said, "the moon must rise, it is the Lord's great evil." Since ancient times, people have compared the emperor to tomorrow, and the queen to the bright moon.The so-called "old moon" refers to the late queen.

Thinking of the turmoil in Taimiao on the day of Yide's birthday sacrifice, the emperor felt a chill down his back.

How Yide committed suicide probably had his own reasons.Now that the memorial tablet is damaged, and there is restlessness after death, it is normal to say that some strange things are going to happen.

Just as he was asking Qin Tianjian what was the reason for this matter, it was Liang Jiugong who stumbled over and reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty! It's not good! The roof of the Compassionate Ning Palace dripped with blood, and it was dripping in front of the Empress Dowager's bed. When the Empress Dowager woke up, she saw blood all over the place, and she fainted from fright."

"What did you say?" The emperor was mixed with anger and worry, and while passing the sedan chair to the Compassion Ning Palace, he asked scoldingly: "Didn't it just be repaired a few days ago? How could there be blood leaking?"

Where did Liang Jiugong know?He only served the emperor and hurried to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

When I came here, I saw the Empress Dowager lying weakly on her side on the couch. Although there was a heavy sandalwood fragrance in the hall, it still couldn't hide the bloody smell.

Because of the bad luck, the Empress Dowager's bed had already been moved away from the place where the blood was all over her head.

When people saw the emperor, they couldn't help murmuring: "Emperor! This is a terrible event! You have to be on guard! Ai's family invited the mage from Baohua Palace to enter the palace to perform water and land rituals for three days. Stuff hold on."

The Empress Dowager practiced the Dharma earnestly, and had always dismissed ghosts and gods. Now that she said these words, it can be seen that she was quite frightened.

Seeing that the Palace of Compassion and Peace could not be lived in, the Empress Dowager Renxian invited the Empress Dowager to live with her in the Palace of Mercy and Peace, which made the Empress Dowager feel more at ease.

It was the night when the Emperor and the master of Baohua Palace discussed the details of the ritual, and heard that the palace servants from Changchun Palace came to report, saying that Wan Lai had a high fever and was full of nonsense.

Concerned about chaos, the emperor rushed to visit late at night.

The imperial physician on duty at the imperial hospital happened to be Bai Changqing, and when the emperor came, it was the time when he had finished consulting Wanyu and left the palace.

The two met outside the gate of Changchun Palace, and when the emperor got off the sedan chair, Bai Changqing hurriedly knelt down to beg for peace and said: "My humble minister knocks on the emperor!"

"Get up and answer, how is Concubine Wan?"

Bai Changqing frowned and shook his head: "It hasn't healed after burning for half a month. It's a minor illness, but the medicine is ineffective. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to delay it for a long time."

The emperor frowned, and asked a little angrily: "Last time you told me that it was just the sunset and rain on the day of Empress Xiaozhao's birthday ceremony that caused Concubine Wan to catch the wind and cold. How can a small wind and cold get worse after a long time?"

Bai Changqing bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "I am ashamed, but this disease is very strange. I have practiced medicine for dozens of years, and this is the first time I have seen it."

The emperor was full of sorrow, sighed heavily, and hurried into the Changchun Palace.

As soon as he entered the sleeping hall, behind the curtain, he heard the cries of the cloud cicadas: "What should I do, Aunt Shuangruo, if our mother continues to burn like this, I'm afraid the root cause of the disease will fall."

Shuangruo lowered her voice and reprimanded: "What are you talking about nonsense? Your empress is very lucky, don't talk about these bad words!"

The emperor was silent for a moment, then lifted the curtain and entered, Yun Chan and Shuang Ruo were slightly surprised to see him, and they knelt together to give blessings.

The emperor didn't even look at the two of them, the tenderness in his eyes was only reserved for Wannai who was sick and lingering on the bed.He sat on the edge of the couch, held Wan Lai's hot hand in his palm, and asked, "Your hand is so hot?"

Yun Chan wiped away her tears, panted and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, you should take ice water and wipe your body, otherwise you will be burned to charcoal."

The emperor felt his heart twitching, and even the corners of his eyes and brows twitched unnaturally: "After a long time of treatment, there is no improvement. Except for Bai Changqing, why did he call the other imperial doctor to see him? Don't say he is not good at medicine Early in the morning, I pointed Fu Zhuo to take a look."

Shuang Ruo hurriedly persuaded: "Where is there only Imperial Physician Bai, several imperial physicians have seen it in turn, they all said the same thing, they only said it was common wind and cold, but pouring the decoction like running water, people just don't get better."
