The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 79 The Killing Intent (Part [-])

In the early morning of the next day, after the emperor went to court, Wanyu hurriedly ran to Yikun Palace and told Concubine Yi everything she had heard and seen.Concubine Yi retreated to the left and right, and asked Ah Qiong to watch outside the bedroom, then she breathed a sigh of relief: "Although I know this will happen sooner or later, I don't want it to happen so suddenly."

"The emperor is annoyed with Obai now, and Ama is also dissatisfied. If Niu Hulu's clan falls here, the situation for you and me in the palace will be even more critical."

Concubine Yi took Wanyu's hand and told her not to panic, and pulled her to sit down on the small mahogany stool: "This is the end, what are your plans?"

Wan Yu replied: "Mother will enter the palace in a few days, let her know about this and go back and tell Ama, otherwise"

"No." Concubine Yi raised her hand and interrupted Wanyu's words: "Tell mother, what do you want her to say to Ama? That the emperor wants to suppress Oboi and the Niu Hulu clan by the way? Even if you say it, What do you want Ama to do? Immediately alienate Oboi? Or turn the gun and jump out among the ministers to point out Oboi's crimes?"

Concubine Yi paused for a moment, glanced at the servants who were cleaning up the weeds in the courtyard outside the window, and said with a little deep meaning: "The weeds that grow outside this house, the servants will just uproot them all, and they don't care whether they are rotten or still. Is there a glimmer of life? What is the difference between plowing and weeding in the previous dynasty? The emperor seems to want to eradicate Oboi’s henchmen, but in fact he just wants to consolidate his imperial power. What is the difference between Ama and Oboi? They are all stumbling blocks on the emperor's way to unify the imperial power. Now that Obai is eliminated, how can he let Niu Hulu's clan dominate?"

Wan Yu nodded and asked: "But if you don't say it, the government doesn't even have a countermeasure when things happen in the future, so wouldn't Ama and Er Niang have nowhere to go?"

"Son of Heaven, Shengwei, whether Ama and Erniang have a way out has never been determined by the emperor's handling of Oboi." Concubine Yi stared at Wanyu like a torch, and said in a deep voice, "It's on you."

"Me?" Wanyu pointed at herself doubtfully, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What can I do? A few days ago, Mrs. An's miscarriage has already made me overwhelmed. If the emperor is willing to listen to what I say, how can I fall into this trap?" So much?"

Concubine Yi smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Does it matter whether he believes you or not? Now that you are being honored and favored by nobles, half of this is because he believes in you?" She shook her head lightly, and continued: "You don't have to He believes in you, as long as he has you in his heart, that's enough."

Wanyu couldn't understand what Concubine Yi meant, and she only said half of what she said and stopped talking.

In the next few days, she was always worried about the mansion, and the emperor called her once, but she also excused herself by saying that she was not feeling well.Until today when Shu Shujue Luo's family was ordered to enter the capital, she was in a slightly better mood, and rushed to Yikun Palace to greet her early in the morning.

Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi's figure looked much more rounded, wearing a quicksand cloak with rose purple thorns and gold trim, he looked younger than before.The mother and daughter huddled together when they met, Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi couldn't stop crying, and the two persuaded her for a long time before she calmed down.

When she entered the main hall, she looked at the gorgeous decoration of Yikun Palace and couldn't help sighing: "Your Majesty really values ​​you. This table, chairs, plants and trees look more magnificent than the Queen's Palace."

"Mother, don't talk nonsense." Concubine Yi was the most cautious, quickly stopped Shu Shujue Luo Shi's words, and ordered Aqiong to serve her a cup of 'Luoshan Green Tea'.

"This was originally my mother's favorite drink in the mansion. The Emperor of the Spring Festival gave some earlier and kept it. I originally wanted to ask someone to send it to the mansion. Later, when I found out that my mother was going to enter the palace, it saved me a lot of trouble. .”

Concubine Yi carefully wiped off the foam from the tea for Shu Shujue Luo Shi, but she only took a sip before putting down the cup of tea: "Since Bayara was imprisoned in the woodshed by the master, although I am not from Niu Hulu's family by name, Although she is the main wife of her mother, she is actually a real wife with great power in her hands. This 'Luoshan green tea' is suitable for Erniang's taste, but after all, it is a low-grade tea among the high-quality tea, and now she is not worthy of her status. "

She said this with great joy, and there was an elated attitude in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Concubine Yi was startled, and suddenly felt that the mother in front of her was so strange.

When she left home, her mother was still a submissive and timid Xiaojiabiyu, but now she has a bit of Bayara's annoying gesture in her gestures.

Concubine Yi didn't say much, she just smiled and ordered someone to replace it with a good 'Yuqian Longjing', and chatted with Shu Shujue Luo about family matters.

After talking for a long time, Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi also noticed something wrong.

Wanyu sat at the side, her eyes were empty and she didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't talk to the two of them from the beginning to the end, so she asked: "Wanyu, are you feeling unwell?"

Wan Yu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly came back to her senses and shook her head, saying nothing happened.

The flesh that fell from her body, her every move, how could she hide from Shu Shujue Luo's eyes.

Shu Shujue Luo Shi repeatedly questioned Wanyu, and Concubine Yi was afraid that Wanyu would miss the point under her repeated questioning, so she hurriedly answered and said, "This girl is so happy to know that you are going to enter the palace. Fall asleep. Look at the bruises under her eyes, I'm afraid she is sleepy now."

Shu Shujue Luo took Wanyu's hand and said with a smile: "Emiang has heard about it in the mansion, the emperor loves you very much, and treats you differently, you are so blessed that Emiang feels a little relieved. It's just that she is already a married woman. In the future, we must pay more attention to appearance, women show people by their appearance, how can they serve the emperor with such a bad complexion?"

"My mother, actually"

"Wanna!"

Wanyu couldn't help but open her mouth and wanted to explain the whole story to Shu Shujue Luo, but Concubine Yi sternly stopped her: "It's been a lot of hard work for Er Niang to enter the palace to greet the Queen, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager, and now it's time for lunch." Shichen, if you have anything to say, wait until Erniang eats her meal." After saying that, she took a deep look at Wanyu.

After lunch, Concubine Yi and Arjun arranged for Shu Shujue Luo to take a lunch break, and then dragged Wan Lai all the way to an unoccupied corner of the Imperial Garden.

She had great strength in her hand, and she grabbed Wanyu's wrist with pain. Wanyu shook her hand away forcefully, frowned and asked, "Eldest sister, do you really think it's for her and Ama's good that you didn't tell mother?"

"Of course, I'm the daughter of Niu Hulu's family with you, how could I harm them?" Concubine Yi shook her head, turned her back and sighed: "You are young, so you can't hold your breath after all."

Wan Yu anxiously asked: "The whole family's life is at stake, why is the elder sister so calm?"

"Think about it for yourself, with Ama's prestige and power, what will happen if he learns that the emperor won't allow him?" Concubine Yi smiled coldly, turned around in a flick of her sleeves, and stared straight at Wanyu: "He will In order to gain a chance, let him know about this matter; he will plan ahead and unite his forces to fight against him! What will happen then? If you win, you and I will be the eternal demon concubine; if you lose, you and I will push out the Meridian Gate and beheaded Show it to the public! Is this the ending you want?"

Concubine Yi's words were so gentle that her spine shuddered, she froze in place, with no other expression except her round eyes.

After all, the moment a person is cornered, fighting back is the instinct to survive, not to mention that Ama holds real power in his hands, which is even more terrifying.

She only wanted to save the lives of her family, but she never thought about the possibility of ruining the lives of Niu Hulu's family just because of her own words.

Or, it ruined the emperor's life.
