The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 656 Return of Yanbei ([-])

Seeing the three treasures, the emperor felt very kind, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen them before, so he frowned and asked Liang Jiugong, "Where is this palace man?"

Liang Jiugong probed and probed, and timidly replied: "The servant looks like the three treasures in the palace of the concubine De, but..."

"Concubine De?" The emperor snorted, his tone trembling stiffly: "Very good, very good"

Flicking his sleeves at the words, he became angry, and pointed in the direction of Yonghe Palace and said sharply: "Go and find Concubine De for me!"

Liang Jiugong immediately ordered Li Jian to rush to the Yonghe Palace to ask for someone. Zhuo Lan watched all this coldly, still bowing down in the emperor's arms and weeping.

Wan Yu glanced at her, and saw a sneer on the corner of her lips, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Taking advantage of the fact that the emperor appeased Zhuo Lan and had no time to care about him, he quietly retreated out of the hall, and said to Yun Chan outside: "Hurry up and tell Lin Lan about this before Li Jian, no matter whether she did it or not." All of them require her to say that she can't afford to be ill, and everything will be planned after Bengong has thought of a comprehensive solution. Hurry up!"

"Where are you going?"

A muffled male voice sounded from behind Wanyu, she only closed her eyes and frowned, when she looked back, she saw that the emperor was standing in front of the door, looking at her coldly.

How could Yun Chan dare to move a step like this, so she knelt down on the spot and kowtowed to the emperor twice, without saying a word.

Zhuo Lan followed behind the emperor, wiped away tears and said tenderly: "The imperial concubine and the empress are on good terms, I want to come."

"Chen Zhuolan, what are you going to do with this play in the middle of the night?" Wan Yu stared at Zhuo Lan with a fierce look in her eyes, and said coldly: "You want to think that the Forbidden City is the stage where your mother used to sing songs ?”

Zhuo Lan pretended to be surprised, clutching her chest and sobbing, "What does the imperial concubine mean? I don't know."

"You don't know?" Wan Yu interrupted her with a sneer: "I ask you, where did the bruise on the back of the eunuch's neck come from?"

"How can a concubine know?" Zhuo Lan pulled the emperor's arm and whispered, "Could it be that the concubine thought that the concubine had done something bad? If a concubine has such skills, she would not be burned and almost die gone."

Wannai wanted to say more, but when the words came out, the emperor scolded her: "Wan'er, stop talking! I know that you and Concubine De are like sisters, but she did such a wrong thing today, it is really vicious Yes! In order to argue for her, is it possible that concubine Jia set fire to the Yongshou Palace herself? "

Wan Lai stared at the man in front of her who was glaring at her with icy eyes. Behind her was a ruined wall after the fire. Now, for her, the man in front of her was much worse than this scene.

"Your Majesty really has no doubts? If Concubine De did something wrong today, she would try her best to kill her, how could Concubine Jia escape without the power to restrain her?"

"I have suspicions." The emperor followed her step by step, looked at her closely, and sighed: "In my heart, I am afraid that this matter may have something to do with you."

Wanyu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly sneered: "Is there something to do with the concubine? The emperor might as well say that the concubine and the concubine De look down on the concubine Jia, and together they want to force her to death. The concubine is in the heart of the emperor, When did you become such an unbearable woman?"

"It's not that you are unbearable, it's just that every time you get along with me now, it's like a veil between each other, which makes me even more unreal."

"It's the same with the courtiers and concubines." Wan Lai saluted, then turned around and was about to leave, the emperor called her angrily: "Where are you going?"

Wan Yu didn't stop, she just looked back before leaving the palace and said: "The concubine has a severe headache and wants to go back to the palace to rest, does the emperor have any orders?"

The emperor closed his eyes lightly, called Liang Jiugong and said, "The imperial concubine is not feeling well, protect her and go back to Changchun Palace."

Liang Jiugong was ordered to quickly catch up with Wanyu's sedan chair, and ordered the inner prisoner to carry the sedan chair all the way back to Changchun Palace.

They knew each other tacitly, and naturally knew that the emperor sent Liang Jiugong to protect him back to the palace at this moment, obviously because he was afraid that he would take the opportunity to find Lin Lan and inform him.

Halfway through the journey, Wanyu suddenly opened the sedan chair curtain to take a look at Liang Jiugong, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Liang can go back to the palace with me if you have time, and take something to present to the emperor?"

Liang Jiugong paused, and smiled apologetically, "Naturally, naturally. It's just that my lord, don't blame the servant for giving me a second look. The emperor is just in a fit of anger. You don't want to run into this bad luck at this time."

Wanyu shook her head mockingly: "Most of what I am doing now is unacceptable in the eyes of the emperor. This person in this palace has violated many taboos of the emperor, why do he care about other things?"

"Your Majesty's words are hurtful. The slave has served the Emperor for decades, and he has a Majesty in his heart when he sees the Emperor clearly."

Wannai said: "My father-in-law is on behalf of the emperor to deal with the concubines of the six palaces. I don't know how many times I have said this to others. Now I am facing this palace. If I can avoid it, let me avoid it. Today's matter, the father-in-law feels that it is the concubine De. Down?"

"This..." Liang Jiugong felt a little troubled: "How dare the slaves intervene in the affairs of the masters?"

Wanyu raised her hand and ordered the inner prisoner to stop the sedan chair, and fell to the ground with Yunchan's support.

Liang Jiugong was wondering what Wannai was going to do, when he saw her walking beside him, Yang Juan covered his face and whispered in his ear: "I wonder if my father-in-law can make it easier for me to meet Concubine De."

"The imperial concubine, don't make it difficult for your slave." Liang Jiugong stepped back two steps, slapped a thousand children, and said: "The emperor wants the slave to protect the empress back to the palace. What is going on here? The empress is like a mirror in the heart of a wise man. The slave is in front of the emperor." Serving as an errand, if you don’t do it well, you will lose your head, so please take pity on your servant.”

"I just told you that because I feel sorry for you." Wanyu smiled frivolously and raised her eyebrows to look at him: "Working in front of the emperor is hard work, but it also has the most good things. I don't know if the emperor knows about the [-]-year-old business that my father-in-law bought in the suburbs of Beijing. Mu's mansion? Extravagant and magnificent, but it is almost as grand as the prince's mansion."

Liang Jiugong's expression showed a little surprise, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead: "Your Majesty, how can a slave have such a beautiful thing?"

"The house was sold three times in a devious way before it was sold under the name of the father-in-law's distant relatives and nephews. The emperor is most afraid of being corrupted by officials. If the emperor wants to know how rich the eunuch, the head of eunuchs, is, how do you think the emperor will treat you? "

Liang Jiugong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled suddenly: "The imperial concubine dare not joke with the servant, the servant" he said, approaching Wanyu, took off the jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into Wanyu's hand, and said in a very soft voice: "Your Majesty Hurry up and do what you want to do, Li Jian is the slave's apprentice, seeing this thing will not embarrass your empress."

Wan Lai nodded, and smiled softly: "Thank you, Father-in-law, for making this perfect. I will definitely remember the kindness of today."

Liang Jiugong waved his whip, and told Yun Chan: "The imperial concubine is not feeling well, you go and follow the sedan chair to serve her."

After Yunchan helped Wanyu get into the sedan chair, she ordered the supervisor who carried the sedan chair to go back to Changchun Palace.

Wannai understood, and changed clothes with Yunchan on the sedan chair, and after it was done, she heard Yunchan calling in the sedan chair: "Eunuch, please stop the sedan chair, the empress is suffering from a severe headache, let the servants go to the imperial hospital to ask for the imperial doctor." Come and take a look."

Liang Jiugong ordered the prison guard to get off the sedan chair, and then opened the sedan chair curtain. Seeing Wanyu in Yunchan's maidservant clothes with her head bowed down, she looked at him and nodded to each other, and hurried towards the Yonghe Palace.
