The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 554 God Crow ([-])

Waking up the next morning, Wan Lai put on red makeup, changed into bright clothes, and entered Cheng Qian Palace early to greet Rong Yue.

Rong Yue was wondering how her new bereaved daughter came to pay her respects so early, so after all the concubines arrived, she pretended to be kind and asked: "Seeing my sister's expression is not good, if I feel uncomfortable in my heart, I will pay my respects two days later." Not impossible."

Wanyu took the teacup by the desk, took a sip slowly, and said with a smile: "I feel uncomfortable, but Concubine De has been imprisoned, and the concubine must keep her spirits, let's see how she will give Yunxi her life, right? "

Rong Yue sat upright, and said in a gentle voice: "That's really hard for you."

Concubine Yi Roujia pondered for a moment and couldn't help sighing: "In the past, Concubine De and Empress Guifei were the closest, but they didn't want to."

Ru Ge said: "No, it's really a beast with a human face, the princess is still so young, she can do it."

Wan Yu didn't pay any attention to it, just listened to their talk and play, and when the play was done enough, no one responded, and the fun ended.

When leaving the palace, Wan Lai led the concubines deliberately walking in front of the concubines. When they reached the gate of the palace, Concubine Rong Xiuyan, who was out of line in the procession, suddenly saw a black cloud under the wall, so she pointed at the boundary and said strangely: "Look. What is that?"

Her calling attracted everyone's attention, Wan Yu stopped for a while, and told Shuang Ruo, "Go and have a look."

Shuangruo led the order to step forward, and tore open the grass, seeing dozens of crows all dead on the ground, she turned her head with a disgusted face and said, "Your Majesty, many crows are dead."

Everyone bit their noses and said it was bad luck, but reprimanded them in a gentle and sharp voice: "The crows are all god crows, what are you all pretending?"

Concubine Hui Yuwen recited the Buddha and said: "The sacred crows in the Forbidden City are more precious than the lives of the palace people. It is extremely unlucky for such a large number of divine crows to die. You must ask the imperial concubine to come out and have a look."

Wan Lai bowed her head and thought for a moment, then ordered Jin Li to say: "Go and invite the imperial concubine to come out and let her see what's going on."

Before entering the ceremony to invite, a group of concubines blocked Rong Yue by blocking the gate of the palace and refused to move.

She walked out with lotus steps, and Yaoyao shouted: "Why are all of them standing here? Are you afraid of being exposed to the sun?"

With the support of Que Zhen, she walked into the crowd. Zhuo Lan, the nobleman, saluted her first, pointed to the frail crows under the wall and said: "Imperial Concubine, many god crows died there."

"Death is death." Rong Yue said this very lightly, and looked at everyone calmly: "You are waiting here, don't you want me to pass on the work to take a look?"

Wannai didn't raise her head, she just looked at the withered body of the crows and sighed: "Your concubine must look at it like this. After a rough calculation, there are seventeen or eight crows. These god crows gathered together and died in the empress palace for no reason. I'm afraid there may be some changes. In order to protect the mother, I should even call the Qin Tianjian to have a look."

Rong Yue stared at Wan Yu intently, her expression turned pale: "Your concubine, how can you sing this?"

Wan Lai smiled and ignored her, and ordered Jin Li to herself: "Go back to the emperor, then go and invite Wu Zuo, and then go to the Qin Tianjian on the way."

Rong Yue wanted to stop it, but the concubines were talking endlessly, so she had no choice but to agree bitterly.

Qin Tianjian came very slowly, but Wu Zuo entered Chengqian Palace at the front and rear of the emperor.

The emperor felt a headache when he saw everyone surrounded in the courtyard, so he frowned and reprimanded: "What's going on in the blue sky and broad daylight? Don't you let me stop for a day?"

Rong Yue said with a sneer when she heard the words: "Several god crows died in the concubine's palace, the noble concubine seemed to be frightened and yelled and shouted, disturbing the emperor's peace."

Wan Yu choked and said: "This sacred crow is the divine bird of our Manchu people. The imperial concubine and empress are born under the Han army flag and cannot empathize with it. Naturally, they must feel that the concubine is making a fuss out of a molehill."

The emperor's eyes were fixed on the piles of crow corpses, and he felt nausea in his chest.

He turned his face away and told Zuo Zuo: "Since you're here, take a look, don't worry about any unclean things in the imperial concubine's palace. It's small to hurt the god crow, but don't hurt the imperial concubine."

Wu Zuo made a promise, and stepped forward to check carefully.Seeing that the crow was holding blood in the corner of his mouth, his body was stiff, and he was surprised when he suddenly saw a little maroon powder sprinkled on the ground.So I went to probe it with the silver needle I carried with me, and saw that the silver needle had turned black. I was so frightened that I staggered and fell to the ground, and crawled back a few steps: "Your Majesty, this... this divine crow was poisoned to death!"

"Poison?" The emperor wondered, "Who wants to poison them to death? Why poison?"

Wu Zuo faltered and said: "My minister looks like a crane with a red crown. To ensure safety, I also ask the emperor to invite the judge to come and verify it!"

Now the three characters 'Crane Dinghong' are like a thunderbolt passing through the concubines and the emperor, everyone is turning their attention to Rong Yue.

Rong Yue looked surprised, unable to utter a word of rebuttal like a lump in her throat.

Fu Zhuo came quickly, and within a short while, he found out that the brown-red powder was Hedinghong.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wanyu couldn't help being filled with sorrow, and cried out angrily: "Your Majesty! It's really red on the top of the crane! Our Yunxi was also killed by this dirty thing!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Rong Yue, and asked angrily, "Why is there such a thing in your palace?"

Rong Yue froze in place, shaking her head: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with my concubine. I don't know either."

As soon as she spoke, Xiuyan said angrily: "Your Majesty! What else can you ask her at this moment? I'm afraid there is no other place for such a good thing in the He Palace except the Imperial Concubine's Palace." ! Royal concubine, you have such a vicious heart!"

Responding to Xiuyan's anger, Wan Lai cried even worse, and fell to the ground in despair, crying in despair: "If the empress is dissatisfied with the concubine, you can come at the concubine! Childish and innocent! The empress also had children People, can't you understand the feelings of being a mother?"

Rong Yue thought for a moment, then her eyes flashed, she pointed at Wan Yu and said, "Sure! You are willing to use your own daughter to frame me! Niu Hulu! You are so cruel!"

'Snapped'.

A crisp and resounding slap sounded on Rong Yue's face, the emperor's slap was so powerful that his palms turned red from the shock.He pointed at Rong Yue with trembling fingertips, and said angrily: "So it was you? It really was you! How dare you call Wan'er cruel? I was also surprised at the night banquet in the palace that day. Hold it out, but I don't want your thoughts to be so ruthless!"

Rong Yue clutched her cheeks and immediately knelt down to express her grievances, and even the concubines Rou Jia, Luo Fu and Ru Ge who had befriended her also knelt down together.

The emperor watched everyone kowtow, and said angrily: "Who dares to intercede again, I'll let you down!"

After the words fell, there was no sound.

Only Rongyue and Wanyan's wails and wailing one after another lingered in the ears of the emperor.
