The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 584
Now the courtyard is still full of concubines, waiting for Wu to make an explanation for everyone.

Wanyu sent Wu Zuo and Bai Changqing out to explain the truth to them, and told them to leave immediately and not to talk nonsense.

On the other side, Luo Fu was thinking about asking Luo Fu to interrogate her carefully, but she was summoned by Aunt Qingzhu who was beside the Empress Dowager Renxian before she could express her will.

Before leaving Yongshou Palace, Wan Lai deliberately told Lin Lan: "The longer this matter drags on, the more troublesome it will be. Take Fu Wei's servant girl to the Punishment Department, and then send Luo Fu to watch them for interrogation in person. Get the truth out of Luo Fu's mouth."

The Ciren Palace is full of flowers and trees, and the layout is still familiar from before.

Just because Empress Dowager Renxian has been in poor health since the empress dowager passed away, and now she looks a little dead in the palace.

Qingzhu brought Wanyu all the way into the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Renxian. Wanyu was used to walking the palace road all the way, but she always felt that something was missing. She thought about it all the way, and only realized when she was outside the dormitory. Outside of my aunt, there is no one serving in the huge Palace of Mercy.

Qing Zhu lifted the curtain and bowed, "Please, Your Majesty, Concubine."

Wan Lai nodded, went in with a slight smile, blessed the Empress Dowager who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, and said: "My concubine respectfully invites the Empress Dowager to be blessed and safe."

Although the queen mother is not feeling well and is still ill, she is well dressed as usual.

Needless to say, the makeup is flawless, wearing a newly-made Heli Yunjian Xiaokan, the forehead hair is tied up in the simplest flat bun, and the gardenia head oil comb hair is even more unruly and smooth as satin.

From the appearance, it is impossible to tell that she is someone who has been lingering in bed for several months.

She lazily closed her eyes, clasped her palms together and chanted a sentence of Buddha, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Wanyu calmly: "Is the person dead?"

She spoke in an unusually calm manner, as if it wasn't her daughter-in-law or her grandson who died, but tens of thousands of ordinary people outside the Forbidden City who had nothing to do with her.

Wan Lai remained calm, nodded her head and replied: "Yes, the death was miserable." After saying that, she knelt down and bowed, and said again: "The concubine is incompetent. He is in charge of the six palaces but can't save the life of the emperor's heir. Please punish the Queen Mother."

"Everyone has their own destiny, so why punish you?" The queen mother took a look at Wanyu: "Qingzhu got the news first, and the person who saw her last was a girl from the Hesheli family?"

Wan Yu replied yes, the Queen Mother gave an 'hmm' and said, "Have you ordered someone to investigate?"

"Concubine De took Kang Changzai's personal maid to the Punishment Department, and at this moment, Luo Mo promised to come and ask questions."

The queen mother raised her hand and put the Buddhist beads aside, and ordered Wanyu to sit down flat: "Whoever did this matter, you can't get rid of the responsibility of neglecting to take care of it. When the emperor returns to Luan to hear about this matter, even if you dote on you again, you can't do it." Always in trouble."

She analyzed it very well, and Wan Yu knew it well.

But she knew that Empress Dowager Renxian had never been the master of gossiping with others, calling her here at this stage must have something clear to say to her.So, without waiting for the Empress Dowager Renxian to open her mouth, she first asked respectfully: "The Empress Dowager called my concubine, I think I have something to mention to my concubine. The concubine is willing to listen attentively."

Empress Dowager Renxian stretched her waist, and said lazily: "Do you know where all the servants in Ai's Palace have gone?"

Wan Lai didn't understand, and just shook her head to answer, the Queen Mother smiled slightly, her eyes suddenly became clear and sharp, and she said calmly: "If Ai Jia said that Ai Jia's body has become what it is now, it is not because he is thinking too much about the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. It's because I feel that someone deliberately killed him, can you believe it?"

Wan Yu's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said: "Now that Tong's family is under the law, although she has a crippled life, she is trapped in the Chengqian Palace, and even if she has the ability to reach the sky, she will not be able to endanger the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is afraid. Too much to worry about."

The Empress Dowager shook her head coldly, and slowly said with a smile that was not a smile: "The Ai family has been in the palace for a long time, and I have not learned other skills, but I have developed a pair of eyes. You believe what the Ai family said, the imperial concubine is not from this palace. Conceal the deepest evil."

Wanyu couldn't help being surprised by the words of the Empress Dowager Renxian. Thinking about Rongyue's confession in the past, she refused to admit that she had killed Yinzuo and Yunxi. Thoughts without knowing it, the enemy is in the dark, is the real fear.

Thinking of this, Wanyu broke into a cold sweat unknowingly, and said in a steady voice: "That person wants to harm others, just to win the emperor's favor, or to plan for her own heir. In any case, she can't do harm to the Queen Mother. With such thoughts, Unless, like the imperial concubine, she hates the emperor, she can't see that the people around the emperor are safe and sound."

Empress Dowager Renxian's gaze was as sharp as a sharp sword, and she said in a cold tone: "Since the Ai family dismissed all the palace people and left the green bamboo to serve by her side, most of the Ai family's illnesses have been cured, so it can be seen that the Ai family thinks otherwise. Xu. Although the Ai family is not the emperor's biological mother, there is a bit of a gap between him and him, but after all, he watched the emperor grow up since he was a child. No matter how tense the Ai family and the emperor are, there is still a mother-child relationship. Now that I know that that person may have harmed Concubine De's Yinzuo, your Yunxi, Kang Changzai's life may be lost in her hands today, it only makes the Ai family shudder."

She slowed down, took Wanyu's hand and said solemnly: "You are in power in the harem now, and the Ai family has watched you grow up all the way, from looking down on you in the past, to treating you twice after Empress Xiaozhao sacrificed her life to save you." It took a lot of twists and turns for people to change, until now they completely trust you. Aijia is a woman, and a woman understands a woman's mind. When you don't love someone, even if you look at him with smooth and gentle eyes, That is also ruthless. The Ai family knows that the emperor has done a lot of things that hurt your heart these years, and you are already disappointed in the emperor, aren't you?"

The Empress Dowager Renxian spoke her heart out in a few words, and Wan Yu was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "The Empress Dowager clearly learned that the ministers and concubines have no ambiguity in treating the emperor."

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips slowly raised a curve: "No duality is the most basic courtesy of the people and subjects of the Qing Dynasty to the emperor. If you still admire him, you should express your heart instead of subconsciously saying such ambiguous words."

Seeing that Wanyu still had to distinguish, the queen mother hurriedly waved her hands and said: "Needless to say, you can understand your own thoughts. Why do you need Aijia to understand? Now Aijia only wants to tell you, no matter how much you think about you and the emperor in your heart You are now the imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty, the most glorious power in this harem. For the safety and success of your own children, you have to find out the trouble! It's more lively than when Tong was in power."

The Empress Dowager's words sounded particularly harsh in the quiet and empty Palace of Mercy, and it made Wan Lai think deeply.

She still has a son who needs to be protected by herself. If it is true as the queen mother guessed, the end of Kang Chang's mother and son today is very likely to be hers in the future.

But no matter what she did, she couldn't think of who would be such a cruel, merciless and treacherous person?

And looking at the harem, after counting it over and over again, I can't find a single person who hates the emperor to the bone.

She couldn't help feeling troubled, and secretly sighed that this deep palace and forbidden courtyard was really tormenting.
