The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 706
"Are you satisfied on duty?" Wanyu raised her eyebrows to look at her, and said calmly, "I have been paying attention to you for a day or two. You are a servant outside the palace, and you prefer to hang around in front of my eyes, making me dizzy." !"

Shuangruo immediately understood, stepped forward and slapped the palace maid forcefully on the face, and said sharply: "Chunsi, you are so brave, how dare you spy on your empress in private?"

Chunsi kowtowed and said repeatedly: "I don't have a maidservant, I am wronged by a maidservant!"

Shuangruo raised her hand to fight again, but she was persuaded by Wanyu: "She said she was wronged, so I will give her a chance to prove her sincerity. Enter the ceremony and go burn some charcoal to spread in the courtyard. If she dares to step on it with bare feet , it is sincere!"

Jin Li Nuosheng stepped back and prepared, while Shuang Ruo called all the palace people to gather in the courtyard.

After several eunuchs paved a path made of charcoal fire in the courtyard, Wanyu sneered and said to Chunsi: "Go, take a few steps and let me see your sincerity."

With tears streaming down her face, Chunsi shook her head in panic and refused to move, Jin Li immediately had a fit, and she took off her shoes and socks and pushed her on the charcoal.

Chunsi couldn't stand the scare, she knelt down and kowtowed forcefully, bleeding from the corner of her forehead: "Great concubine, please forgive me, slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare again!"

Shuang Ruo said sharply, "What are you afraid of?"

Chunsi hesitated and didn't answer, Shuangruo said again: "Jinli, push her onto the charcoal!"

After saying this, Chunsi made a clean move without waiting for Jinli to do it: "The concubine Yi gave the servant two ingots of gold, and asked the servant to tell her everything that happened in the Changchun Palace! The servant has only done two The first time, only those two times! The slaves are obsessed with money, the imperial concubine and the empress are kind, the empress is kind!"

"Two ingots of gold?" Wan Lai looked down at her from above, with a gloomy smile raised at the corner of her mouth: "Do you know what she bought these two ingots of gold for?"

Chunsi suddenly shook her head and answered, "She wants to buy your life."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the charcoal fire, then at Jinli, and ordered: "Someone will hold her and throw her body on the coal. When will the charcoal be extinguished, and when will the calculation be over!"

Jin Li made a promise, and immediately led several internal eunuchs to crush Chunsi on the red-hot coals.

Her miserable cry echoed in the ears of all the palace people, and everyone's hairs stood on end, and they were dripping with cold sweat.

When it was less than half a stick of incense, Chunsi stopped struggling.

Jinli turned the person over, the front of the person was scalded, exuding the smell of burnt meat.

After entering the ceremony to check his breath, he was already out of breath, so he replied to Wanyu: "Your Majesty, the lowly servant girl can't stand the punishment and dies."

There was no difference on Wanyu's face, and she said as usual: "She was on duty and accidentally made a mistake, so she went back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and handed it over to them. Also, you can give two ingots of gold to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that I am sympathetic. For her family."

The ceremony had to be done quickly, everyone watched Chunsi being dragged out of the Changchun Palace, looked at each other, knelt down and said in unison: "Young concubine, empress, please calm down!"

Wan Yu glanced at the crowd, and said indifferently: "You have knelt in front of me several times, and I don't know how many times I have taught you. Serving the Lord, only sincerity can be safe in the palace. If something went wrong, I still think that you have a father and mother outside the palace, and always give you a chance with kindness. Now that I am getting older and irritable, I can't tolerate these things anymore. If you wait for someone else to move Xin Xin, today I will give you a chance to go back to Shuangruo immediately, take the silver and get out of Changchun Palace! If you want to stay, if you dare to do another misdemeanor, it will be you Wait for what happens next day."

She stopped for a while, raised her voice, and said with a full of hostility: "I only want to smell the smell of charcoal-grilled meat this time. Can you hear it clearly?"

When she said these words, two or three palace maids retched, but they still said in unison: "The slaves (servants) will follow the teachings of the empress, and will concentrate on serving the empress in the future! There will be no second thoughts!"

Wannai Yang Juan covered her nose, and was supported by Shuang Ruo to go back to the bedroom, only the rest of the palace people who were in panic, helped each other to get up, and scattered around to busy with their own work.

Greetings from the Sixth Palace the next morning, there was a lot of turmoil yesterday, how can the harem not hear the wind?

Because of this, everyone is more cautious, for fear that if they say a wrong sentence, they will cause Wan Yu to hesitate, and cause trouble for the upper body.

During the period, seeing Rou Jia looking around, as if looking for someone, Wan Yu smiled lightly and said, "What is Yi Fei looking at?"

Roujia smiled awkwardly, shook her head and said, "I think it's because of a stiff neck last night, and my neck is sore and tight, no, it's loose."

Wan Yu took a mouthful of the freshly made Qiyun melon slices at hand, and wrote lightly: "Oh, so that's the case. You didn't tell me that you thought there was an old friend of yours in the Changchun Palace, and you are eager to meet."

"The imperial concubine was joking."

"Come on, seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, there are too many people in the temple and it's always boring. Let's all go away today."

Everyone stood up in response to blessing the gift and retreated, Wan Yu said again: "Concubine Yi stay here, I have prepared a gift for you, do you like it?" She raised her eyes to look at Yun Chan, and asked her to present a green gift The brocade box is handed over to Roujia.

Rou Jia held the brocade box in her hands, weighed it lightly, and said with a smile: "This box is so exquisite, what is it?"

Wan Yu drank tea by herself, without raising her eyes: "You will know if you open it and take a look."

Rou Jia slowly opened the brocade box, but when she saw what was inside, she was so frightened that she threw the brocade box far away, she took several steps back and fell to the ground.

Only then did Wanyu put down the teacup to stare at her, and said with concern: "Hey, what's wrong with Concubine Yi? Come on, Yunchan, help Concubine Yi up."

Yun Chan took two quick steps to get close to Rou Jia, but when she leaned over to help her, she heard a shrill cry from Rou Jia, turned over and stood up, clutching her chest, and said: "No, no, don't bother the big maid next to the imperial concubine. That's it, my concubine is fine."

Wan Lai smiled and nodded: "It's good that you have nothing to do." Then she ordered Shuangruo to pick up the brocade box and handed it to Rou Jia again: "This is Chunsi's tongue. Concubine Yi likes to listen to it." She told stories, so I gave you her tongue, you put it in Yikun Palace every day, when you have nothing to do, open the brocade box to have a look, if you want to hear something, you want it to tell you."

Roujia held the brocade box with a numb expression, her tongue was numb and she couldn't say a word.

Wannai said: "In the past, you and Mrs. Wu talked about Bengong having an affair with Shen Ye, which caused a rift between Bengong and the emperor, and Bengong has not yet quarreled with you. If you can't wait and are busy looking for death, then we will One day, new and old accounts will be settled together!"

Rou Jia was so frightened that her whole body trembled, she immediately knelt down and bowed down: "Imperial concubine, my concubine, don't dare anymore! Don't dare anymore!"

Wan Yu didn't even look at her, she played with the Gobi chalcedony finger on her thumb, and wrote lightly: "You spread the matter, and you find a way to solve it yourself. I will give you a month to settle the matter." If you don’t have the ability to talk about those old ministers in the previous dynasty, don’t blame me for not thinking about the old sisterhood!”
