The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 586
On April 26, Kang Changzai's body was enshrined in Yuhua Pavilion.

On the same day, Hesheli Luofu was imprisoned in the cold palace, and the matter of murdering the emperor's heir would only be decided after the emperor returned to the palace.

On the third day of May, after the southern tour, Yujia returned to Beijing.

The emperor was shocked when he heard about Kang Changzai, and rushed to Changchun Palace to ask Wanyu clearly.

Wanyu greeted the emperor outside the Changchun Palace early in the morning. The emperor's face was gray and ugly. Seeing Wanyu, he restrained his anger and said, "Why didn't you tell me about such a serious matter?"

Wannao forced herself to smile calmly, and said with blessing: "The emperor rushed all the way back to the palace, and the courtiers and concubines prepared the emperor's usual delicious food. The emperor please move to the main hall."

The emperor let out a muffled snort, and walked towards the palace without hesitation, completely ignoring Wannai who was still holding on to the etiquette behind him.

After he entered the main hall and was no longer in sight, Wannai stood up without ceremony.

Yunchan supported Wanyu and walked slowly towards the main hall, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the emperor is angry, you have to deal with it carefully."

"It's not the first time I've seen him like this, it's what I expected." Wanyan stroked her crooked hair, straightened her skirt again, and asked Yunchan, "Is it all right?"

Yun Chan sized her up carefully for a moment and then she nodded and answered yes, Wan Yu then said: "Order someone to wait outside, and I will go in by myself."

Entering the main hall, the table is full of meals.

Liang Jiugong was serving dishes in front of the emperor, Wan Lai casually took the utensils in his hands and said softly: "Elder-in-law, you have worked hard, my palace will come."

Liang Jiugong gave the emperor a somewhat ugly look, and the emperor gave him a wink, and he immediately bowed and retreated knowingly.

Wan Lai picked out some delicious dishes that the emperor liked and put them on the plate, she held her chopsticks and said: "Kang Chang Zai's mother and child are not safe, the imperial doctor came to see her, and the dragon fetus in her belly is a princess, it's really pitiful."

The emperor closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh, as if holding back his anger, he said, "Did Luo Fu do it?"

Wan Yu shook her head: "It's not that Luo agreed."

As soon as the words fell, the emperor suddenly became furious, and fiddled with the jade plate in front of him to the ground.

The sound of jade breaking was ear-piercing, and Wan Yu knelt down in response: "The emperor calm down."

Liang Jiugong, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly brought a few eunuchs inside: "Is the emperor all right?"

"Who wants you to come in?" The emperor glared at everyone, his bushy eyebrows flew up like a meandering river, and scolded: "Get out!"

Everyone was so frightened that they knelt down and bowed, moved their knees and left the main hall.

The emperor didn't even look at Wanyu, tapped his index knuckles lightly on the dining table, and said coldly after a long time: "It's your idea to deal with Luo Fu, and it's also your idea to have Zhuo Lan slap Kang Changzai. She is pregnant. I want you to take care of me more, is this how you take care of the harem for me?"

Wan Yu's tone was also indifferent: "Kang often acted recklessly and recklessly when he was in the eyes of no one. The concubine was favored by the emperor to temporarily act as the middle palace. She must not be allowed to let her go just because she is pregnant."

The emperor clapped his palms together and slapped the table, and said sharply: "There are rumors in the palace that Kang Changzai couldn't bear your humiliation that day, and after returning to the palace, he was depressed and unhappy, and he committed suicide because he felt that he had lost face and couldn't think about it. And you In order to cover up his mistakes, Luo Fu was forced to take the blame! Is there such a thing?"

Wan Yu raised her eyes, her eyes were full of absurdity: "What did the emperor say? Don't say that Kang Changzai didn't commit suicide, even if she did, it's her own fault and no one else. The emperor asked his concubines this question, and he really thought that Will the concubines care about this much with the concubines who are always in the position? The concubines are just teaching them some rules for the emperor. If the emperor feels that it is inappropriate, you can point out this harem matter to Concubine De in the future, and Concubine Rong will go to the court again. Or let someone else take care of it. Everything is complicated, and the concubines don't bother to bother."

The emperor was awakened by Wan Lai's words and regained his senses.I just felt that I was dazzled by the pain of losing my son, but what I just said was inappropriate.So he calmed down, and lifted Wanyu up from the cold ground: "I have no intention, I am exhausted from running all the way, and when I returned to the palace, I suddenly heard about this, so I was confused."

Wan Yu stared blankly at the dishes that were still steaming on the dining table, her eyes were reddish and said: "Your Majesty, Yinzuo and Yunxi are not poisoned by Rongyue. A palace maid from the first palace told the concubine that someone wanted to poison her. In addition, Kang Changzai died by cutting his wrists, but a three-petal lotus was carved on his forehead with a sharp knife. The concubine thought of this I feel shuddering, if many things are not all done by Rong Yue, then the concubine who sleeps peacefully next to the emperor's pillow every night, there will still be someone who is more malicious than Rong Yue. If we can't find her for a day, then the palace My elder brother, the princess, the concubine, the queen mother, and even the emperor will all be in dire straits!"

Wan Lai's words made the emperor feel a little puzzled. With such an aloof personality, how could he believe that the women in the harem have the ability to move mountains and seas?
He gave a wry smile, shook his head and said, "The matter between Yinzuo and Yunxi may be because Rongyue refused to admit it, and didn't want to add more crimes. As for the queen mother, she has always been suspicious. After learning that the emperor's grandmother poisoned and plotted for Rongyue I was in a state of panic all day long, and I went to the imperial physician to see her, but they all said that she was suffering from heart disease and talking nonsense. Kang Changzai's death is strange now, but Luo Fu has already pleaded guilty. If Wan'er doesn't believe it, why put her in the cold palace? Waiting for my return?"

"Chenqie doesn't believe it, and she can't do it no matter what her temper is. But if Chenqie doesn't force her to confess her guilt so that the people behind the scenes can relax their vigilance, then if she wants to find out that person to avenge Yunxi, I don't know. When will we wait?"

"So you pretended to make Luo Fu plead guilty, are you setting up a trap?"

Wan Lai solemnly nodded, the emperor pondered for a moment and said: "It's not that I don't believe what you said, but because I feel that you are too sensitive. Now in the harem, who would have such vicious thoughts? It's just that Kang Chang had to ignore the mother and child. Cha, I feel like you that Luo Fu will not be responsible for this matter. Then Kang Changzai will either kill himself or be harmed by others. If you want to try, I will allow you three months. In private , people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment will help you, if you can find out who is behind the scenes, I will punish you severely. If you can’t find out, let’s get rid of this suspicious temper as soon as possible.”

The emperor rested his right hand on Wanyu's shoulder calmly and firmly, and said in a steady voice: "You must know that the queen mother is suffering from heart disease because of this. I know that Yunxi's death has hit you hard, but why not? In my life, I am destined to have a thin family relationship, and I am sorry for those parents and children who have passed away!"

Wan Lai pretended to appease the emperor with a few words, and now the two of them have no appetite for the table full of delicacies.

Her eyes fell on the emperor's gloomy face, seeing him rubbing her sour eyes, she knew from the bottom of her heart that he was afraid of crying in front of her.

At this moment, she still felt sorry for him.

Along the way, I saw the empresses and concubines fighting with the emperor's heir as a weight, which hurt the lives of many innocent children.

Wanyu once had a miscarriage and lost her daughter once, and she has already endured the pain of being in an endless purgatory.

And what about the emperor?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help herself, she got up and took the emperor into her arms.

The next moment, she clearly heard the lonely emperor soaring above the nine heavens, crying like a newborn baby.
