The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 778 Death ([-])

After Wan Lai went to Changchun Garden together, in order to take care of the emperor's daily life, she moved into Guanlan Pavilion, which was very close to Qingxi Bookstore where the emperor lived.

Since the emperor's last year, he spent almost half of the time in the Changchun Garden every year.

However, the number of times Wanlu went with him is very few.

She really doesn't like this place. In summer, it's eerily quiet, and you can't even hear the cicadas chirping;Pleasant for self-cultivation and self-cultivation, but it is really a land that lacks the atmosphere of human fireworks.

After moving to Changchun Garden, the decoction that Bai Changqing gave to the emperor every day increased the amount of medicine that hurt the body.

But in just half a year, the emperor aged rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The creases on his face were filled with gullies, and he was out of breath when he spoke, and he would often be out of breath for half a day after just three or five sentences.

After Yun Chan left, the calm Bai Changqing also became irritable.Even though Wanyu repeatedly reminded him not to act too hastily, he couldn't bear the desire to avenge Yun Chan for a moment.

On this day, he got up in the morning and entered Guanlan Pavilion to look for Wanyu, with a warm smile on his face, as if he had encountered something very happy.

Wan Yu ordered her to sit in the inner hall, served tea and asked, "You didn't smile often after Yun Chan left, but today is different from the past?"

Bai Changqing looked at the distance with a little blurred eyes, nodded and said: "I dreamed of Chan'er last night, and she is still waiting for me."

Wanyu's heart felt sour, she turned her face away to avoid Bai Changqing's empty gaze: "You and her are a married couple, if you miss her, she will also miss you."

"It's been a long time for her to wait for me." Bai Changqing straightened his face, and his words were somewhat harsh: "Your Majesty, the emperor's body can't survive this winter."

For some reason, hearing him say this, the softest part of my heart trembled slightly.

I don't know whether it's joy or sorrow, I took the teacup and used the tea lid to skim off the tea foam, took a mouthful to moisten my throat, and then said slowly: "Aren't you afraid that he will notice that you are so cruel?"

"Why are you afraid?" Bai Changqing sneered and said with a sneer: "Chan'er is gone, I never thought of living alone. Now that I have avenged my revenge, I just feel happy. The poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and even if he finds it now, it is useless. Medicine can cure."

Wanyu's eyes were fixed, and she stared at him firmly: "Although I don't know what Yun Chan said to you in the end, but she has been with my master and servant for decades, so I naturally understand her heart. She always wants you You can live in peace. Don't worry, if something happens in the future, I will protect you."

Bai Changqing waved his hand and smiled calmly: "Thank you for your concern, my lady. This is the only way I can do this matter. In the future, I have to rely on my lady to plan."

Wan Lai nodded in response, and said softly, "Naturally."

Bai Changqing got up and knelt down abruptly, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times to Wanyu, then turned and left.

In the morning of the second day, when he was taking a shower, Jinli entered the inner hall with a face full of panic, and when he saw Wanyu, he knelt down and trembled and replied: "Your Majesty, Tai Tai heals him"

Wan Yu's heart skipped a beat, her eyes were closed tightly, and she calmly asked after a while, "How did you get there?"

Upon entering the ceremony, Wanyu was slightly surprised as if she had expected it early in the morning, and quickly replied: "Drunk in the middle of the night, she fell into the surrounding lake in the north, and when she was found in the morning, she was already floating on her back on the lake. My body is getting cold."

After Wannai heard this, a chill came from an inexplicable place, wrapping her in it.

Shuang Ruo, who was waiting on her from the side, was full of anxiety, tried her best to hold back her tears and asked Jin Li, "What do you say at Qingxi Bookstore?"

Entering the ceremony, he said: "The emperor has not been in a good health recently, and he is completely dependent on the care of the white doctor, and he will be better with a decoction. Hearing this, the emperor is also shocked. Right now, he is suffering from asthma. A group of imperial physicians went to Qingxi Bookstore to attend to the sick." He said so far, quite confused: "There is one more thing."

Wan Yu gave him a sideways glance, and said coldly: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"A minister told the emperor that there is a Juxian Medical Hall more than a hundred miles away from the Changchun Garden, and the doctor's skills there are famous for their superb skills. The emperor heard about this and immediately ordered someone to invite the doctor. The person sent has now left Changchun Garden."

Wan Yu slowly clenched her hands into fists, her eyes were full of hostility, and she said sternly: "You order people to do things, no matter what method you use, you can't let that doctor enter the Changchun Garden."

Jin Li responded quickly and ordered to do it.

In the early morning of the next day, the eunuch sent by the emperor to search for the doctor did not return overnight. When the guards were sent to look for it, they found that the eunuch and the doctor died on the way, and the way of death was extremely cruel. Let go.

When the emperor knew about this, he was furious, and the first person who doubted it was Wannai.

It's just because Bai Changqing has always been on good terms with Wanyu, and when he died, the doctor he found died on the way here, which is really suspicious.

So he ordered people to find Wan Lai, but Li Jian went three times, but was rejected each time.

Shuangruo stopped him from letting him in, told him that Wannai was ill and should not move around, and asked him to go back to the emperor's words truthfully.

Li Jian had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the emperor the whole matter.

The emperor was furious, and Li Jian was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

But this kneeling didn't matter, but due to sudden force, he threw out a piece of flowing white warm jade pinned to his waist.

The jade rolled and flew to the emperor's feet, the emperor leaned over to pick it up, held it in his hand and played with it carefully.

That thing was originally a gift from him to Wanyu, how could it fall out of Li Jian's body?
He immediately ordered his personal guards to take Li Jian down and torture him severely, to get the truth out of his mouth.

It is said that eunuchs are rootless things, and they cannot stand punishment.

Li Jian was beaten until half his life was left, so naturally he couldn't hide the matter from his mouth, so he confessed cleanly with a grunt.

He didn't know many things, but the two things he said were enough to drive the emperor half to death.

One is that Shen Ye's beauty in the past did not suffer as Wan Yu described. The so-called assassination by Shen Ye was all a good show she directed and acted.

The second is that Liang Jiugong and Wanyu have secretly colluded for a long time.

The emperor never imagined that the servant who served him since he was a child, who was the closest to him, would betray him.
He felt a tight pain in his chest, and he was so angry that he ordered someone to find Liang Jiugong.

But at this time, Liang Jiugong seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he couldn't find him in the Changchun Garden.

The emperor had no choice but to order his cronies to break into Guanlan Pavilion, first to arrest Wanyu and bring her to Qingxi Bookstore.

But the strange thing is, it was said to be arrested, but when Wan Lai came, there was no guards around her to detain her, instead, she entered alone.

When she saw the emperor, she had a smile on her face as usual, and after giving a little salute, she asked softly: "My concubine, I wish the emperor good luck and peace. The emperor is not feeling well, and he should lie down on the couch to rest. Why do you still act like this according to your own temperament?"

The emperor gave her an angry look: "You and Shen Ye, are you really having an affair!?"
