The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 594 Xiaoyi ①

Rong Yue's words hit Wan Lai's heart, making her feel sick from the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, Rong Yue suddenly fell to the ground, vomiting blood, which stained the phoenix crown and phoenix robe, her own hair, and the dust on the ground red.

Finally Wannai couldn't bear it, so she leaned down and gave her a hand.

She leaned against Wanyu's arms weakly, her hostility disappeared, and she raised a touching smile.

At that moment, Wanyu seemed to see Rongyue whom she saw for the first time in the past.

She is such a bright, kind, gentle woman.Dazzling like the bright moon that night.

But in the end, that person was gone.He even brought his innocent self along with him.

With tears in the corners of Rong Yue's eyes, Qi Ran said: "Wan'er, I want to thank you. In my life, I was sent to the palace when I first learned about the world. Come on, I understand, the only one who treats me sincerely is you."

There was a warm current from the bottom of my heart rushing straight into my eyes, Wannai suppressed tears, and said resolutely: "If you are not completely ignorant of your conscience, why did you come to this? You have such a family background, even if you don't fight or grab it, you will always end well .”

Rong Yue shook her head again and again, and said with a smile: "It's not important anymore, it's not important anymore. I walked this difficult road, and I know that I was very wrong. But if you want to ask me if I regret it, I don't regret it. I don't want to I’m terrified of being bullied when I was kind and kind. I’m so scared that I can’t sleep every night like that.”

Wan Yu looked at her without the slightest hint of throbbing in her eyes: "You still think this way until now, I just hope you can feel at ease."

Rong Yue slid her right hand upwards with great effort, stroking Wan Yu's smooth cheek: "I'm going to die, but you are still so young. Listen to me, the emperor is an extremely ruthless person. If you just believe in him and favor him, even You follow the rules and everything is thorough, and one day, you will end up like me."

Wan Lai listened to her calmly and did not refute.

"I don't have the chance to forgive my mistakes. I'm so tired, I'm holding my breath in my chest, and every inch of old skin on my body is in pain like tearing. I know I'm going to die. Wan Son, I want to ask you a question, today, when you watch me die and get the retribution you deserve, will you still hate me?"

Wan Yu turned her face away, and said calmly: "I never hated Rong Yue."

Rong Yue nodded slightly in relief, and was about to speak, but she heard Wan Yu say again: "The Tong family Rongyue who was friends with me in the past, the Tong family Rongyue who was willing to protect me in the past, and the Tong family Rongyue who was able to share the bed with me in the past Tong's Rongyue, who doesn't talk about it, has gone with the elder sister's death. Now I am holding in my arms the noble daughter of the Tong Jia family of the Manjun Banner, who is the daughter of the Qing Dynasty. Queen."

She slowed down, and smiled bitterly: "So empress, did you say that this concubine hated Rong Yue?"

Rong Yue's tense face gradually relaxed due to the pain. She was probably extremely tired, so she took a long breath and said slowly: "I know that you hate me, I know that the friendship between Wan'er and Rong Yue will always be forever. It stopped on the painting in your palace. Now I have bloody hands and a dirty mind, and I even hate myself. How can I be worthy of a Jinlan like you?"

After she finished speaking, she tried her best to push Wannai away, twisting her thin body, dancing and writhing on the ground like a seriously ill python.

Wan Yu glanced at her coldly, watching her climb out of the bedroom over the threshold, and gradually climbed to the top seat in the main hall.

She grabbed the chair handle with her withered arms, endured the severe pain to support herself up, leaned on the chair that can be called the Phoenix Seat today, and panted heavily.

Sweat from the corners of her forehead fell down onto the phoenix robe along the edge of her jaw line, mixed with blood and condensed into a vast expanse.

"I am the queen. I am the only queen! Hahahahahaha"

She laughed sternly and opened her arms, raising her posture as if she was enjoying the worship of all peoples.

Gradually, the laughter weakened.Her arms naturally hung down, and she froze on the seat without any movement, only her eyes were still wide open.

Wan Yu and Rong Yue who maintained this posture looked at each other for a long time before moving to her side, and gently covering her eyes with his hands.

"Rong Yue, I have never sincerely called anyone other than Eldest Sister."

When she raised her hand again, Rong Yue had closed her eyes.

The gate of the main hall of Chengqian Palace was opened heavily, and the inner eunuch came forward to re-lock the palace gate.

Wan Lai stretched out her hand to stop him, raised her face to face the glare of the sun, tried her best to hold back her tears, and said with trembling lips and teeth: "The Empress, you are dead."

On the 28th day of July in the [-]th year of Kangxi, Empress Tong Jia died in Chengqian Palace.

Because of mourning, he stopped going for five days.

Below the kings, civil and military officials, as well as princesses, concubines, wives of the second rank of the Eight Banners and above, all gathered to mourn.Hold for 27 days.

On the thirteenth, it was ordered to move the Queen's Palace of Daxing to the Hall of Enjoyment outside the Chaoyang Gate.I will send it in person.

Let all the kings and below, civil and military officials, princesses and concubines below, and women above the second rank of the Eight Banners gather together to express their condolences.

On the fifteenth day Jiyou, the Empress Daxing is often sacrificed.I came to express my condolences in person.The Ministry of Rites, Queen Tong, and Shude Sucheng.Written by Fang Huimao.Serve the empress dowager and be filial.Raising all the sons are all loving.Ti bowed respectfully.Yuxia Kuanren.The style is prepared and the palace is Xuhua.Follow the instructions of kindness and bow to me as a match.Yongxiang, who was ruled in the Shang Dynasty, and He Yi, who suffered from severe illness.He died on the 28th day of July in the [-]th year of Kangxi.I miss Huai Yifan and mourn Liang deeply.It should be called posthumous title, and it will last forever.The cabinet, the Hanlin Academy, and the joint play.It should be held at the ceremony, and Erbu will examine it in detail and discuss it quickly to hear about it.

The funeral ceremony was dignified and grand, and outsiders only said that the emperor was deeply affectionate, and they had to sigh that Empress Xiaoyi's life was poor and her fortune was poor. This is a strange thing that has never been heard of for a queen who has only been a queen for a day.

But with such deep affection, one can always see signs of something wrong.

It was midsummer, and although the body was stored in ice, the rate of corruption was extremely fast.

I thought that the emperor would choose a day to enshrine Empress An Daxing, but unexpectedly, the time to be buried in Jingling Mausoleum turned out to be a severe winter day.

On October [-]th, the first heavy snowfall in the capital, the palace of Empress Xiaoyi was moved to Jingling.

The emperor personally sent off, and the kings and below, civil and military officials, princesses, princesses below, second-rank wives and above all gathered to mourn and kneel to send off.

Order the eldest son of the emperor Yinti, the third son of the emperor Yinzhi, the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen and other heirs who have been raised under her knees to accompany her.

On October [-]th, the mourning team arrived at Jingling and enshrined the Andi Palace in the Zi Palace of Empress Xiaoyi.

On that day, Empress Xiaoyi's Zi Palace arrived at Jingling, where she was enshrined in the Hall of Anxiang.

The road to Jingling was covered with goose feathers and heavy snow, and the road was not stable at all.

Rong Yue was most afraid of the cold, the emperor chose such a day to bury her, because he hated her so much from the bottom of his heart, that he wanted to make her feel uneasy after death.

In the previous dynasty, how could the Tong family care about Rong Yue's life and death?
Before she died, she stood up and continued the glory of her mother's family. This is what they really value.

With such a good son from the emperor, Tong Guogang knew how to restrain himself, and he suddenly recovered from his illness overnight. He was eager to discuss the Junggar war with his ministers every day.

The emperor still showed great importance to him on weekdays, without any hesitation.

He even said: "Uncle uses soldiers like a god, and has a lot of experience. I should ask Galdan to teach him a lesson."

Tong Guogang was so coaxed by him that he couldn't find the north, so the court agreed to the matter.

At this point, the six-year war between the Qing Dynasty and Junggar began.
