The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 85

I don't know how long it has passed, one night, Wan Lai slowly opened her eyes, her complexion was so pale and blue, like a piece of mutton fat jade, it can radiate milky blue light when facing the moonlight.

The wound on her shoulder was still aching. Looking at the couch, she could only see Rong Yue standing on the warm seat not far away, lighting the dim yellow gilt palace lamp, holding a book of poetry in one hand, and leaning on the other hand. sleep with forehead.

Wanna looked at her, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, the line of her jaw became thinner and thinner, even though she was wearing makeup, her eyes were still bruised.

She only felt her mouth was dry, but she couldn't bear to wake Rong Yue up, so she got off the couch carefully, looked at the gauze wrapped around her chest with blood stains, and frowned secretly.

With such a serious injury, I don't know what kind of annoying scars will be left in the future.

She thought, and looked out of the window again, the Forbidden City was still as quiet and quiet as usual, as if what happened that day was just a dream of her own.

She walked to the small table next to the warm seat and poured a glass of warm water. The sound of the water flowing into the wall of the glass was extremely small, but Rong Yue was so shocked that the book in her hand slipped to the ground.

She woke up with a start, and looked up at Wanyu standing in front of her with surprise and joy: "You are awake."

Seeing tears in her eyes, Wanyu put the jade cup aside with a smile on her lips, and took Rong Yue's hand: "Sister, what's wrong, am I doing well?" ?”

Rong Yue lowered her face and said, "You are the most worrying person." She stopped for a while, and then she was about to go to the bed with her arm: "I just woke up after three days of coma without a drop of rice. Then get down and walk around, just call me whatever you want, otherwise, won’t you be betraying my intention of staying by your bed for the past few days?”

Wan Lai sat on the couch with Rong Yue, and said apologetically, "Sister suffered because of me."

"What kind of nonsense are these?" Rong Yue rolled up the quilt and wrapped her body around Wanyu, shaking her head and sighing: "I don't feel the pain, but I blame you in my heart, for such a big matter was hidden from me like this." It's like watertight. Just wait for something to happen, and it will scare me out of my wits."

Wan Lai smiled, raised her brows and asked again: "How about the previous court? Where's the emperor?"

"Come here every day, at least two hours with you." Rong Yue also smiled: "The wound medicine you take is hot, and the sweat will soak your clothes. The emperor is afraid that you will catch a cold, so he often takes a handkerchief to change I took warm water and wiped your body over and over for you."

When Rong Yue said this, Wan Yan's cheeks flushed, she turned her face away and said shyly: "My sister is used to laughing at me."

"There is still a happy event to tell you." Rong Yue whispered in his ear: "Yu Wen is happy."

Wanyu also smiled immediately: "Nala promised good luck, the emperor will stay with her less these days, and this is it?" Her tone was a little suspicious, and then she raised her eyebrows at Rongyue: "Now that she is happy, Only when the role of giving birth to a prince has to be promoted to permanent residence, she must be grateful for her elder sister supporting her that day. Although she is introverted and talkative, she is a person who knows how to repay her kindness. After all, this blessing is uncertain One day, it will fall on my sister's head."

Rong Yue smiled shyly, and said again: "Concubine Yi and Wen Yin also come to visit you every day." She paused for a while, then pointed to a newly opened pot of delicate blue flowers on the table and continued: "Concubine Hui also comes here often, and she also gave this Babur flower unique to Mongolia. I heard that this flower can pray for peace, and the meaning is very good."

Wannai glanced at the flowers on the table, sneered and said nothing, after a long silence, she frowned and said, "Can the emperor deal with Oboi?"

Rong Yue nodded: "The former dynasty has been very busy recently. The emperor ordered the ministers to interrogate Oboi together, and listed more than [-] crimes against him. He was supposed to be dismissed and executed. But before the trial, he took off his shirt and showed his face. The scars on his body in the battlefield told the emperor his great contribution to the Qing Dynasty. The emperor was merciful and did not sentence him to death, but he was imprisoned together with his cronies and family members." She hesitated for a while, then sighed: "The empress My mother's family, the Hesheli family, have made great contributions, and now it's time for them to shine."

Wan Lai let go of her hanging heart, since the culprit has not been executed yet, the lives of Ama and Er Niang should have been preserved.

"Then my mother's family has been implicated?"

As soon as these words came out, Rong Yue's expression was suddenly embarrassed, and she gave a narrow smile, saying that Yun Chan was simmering porridge with white fungus and ginseng in the small kitchen, and it seemed that the cooking time was just right, so she got up and wanted to go outside.

Seeing Rong Yue's flickering words, and deliberately talking about him from left to right, Wannai frowned, and grabbed Rong Yue's hand to stop her, but the wound was sharply hurt because of this.

She hissed, and said in a bitter voice, "Sister shouldn't have kept it from me."

Seeing that the plain gauze wrapped in her wound was soaked in blood, Rong Yue felt pain in her heart, leaned over her shoulder and blew gently, and couldn't bear to say: "No matter what, you must cherish your body. Hurry up, but the Hesheli clan insisted on him and forced the emperor to send him to prison. Then they wooed Prince Kang and tried their best to accuse you, Ahma, of the twelve deadly crimes, and the emperor must kill him."

Wannai felt her heart thumping violently, like a heavy hammer hitting her heart, she regained her composure for a moment, and said in a faint horror: "The queen really can't tolerate me and elder sister, and wants to drive Ama to death?" She clenched her hands Fist, exert strength secretly, the wound has festered, and the blood gushes like a spring.

Rong Yue lost his mind immediately, and quickly comforted him: "Don't be too excited, the emperor will always miss the friendship between you and Concubine Yi, he didn't accept the proposal of the courtiers, he just went to jail, besides, Oboi has done a lot of evil things and you, Ama, don't care Without being involved, there is still room for things to turn around."

"Ama is old, and my mother is sick, how can I stand up in prison?" Wanyu stood up suddenly and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Rong Yue: "Sister, don't be impulsive, your injury is not healed, How can it be?" She said so plainly, but felt the palm of Wanyu's chest was damp and hot, and when she looked closely, it was already stained with warm blood.

She was so frightened that she screamed, Yunshan and Yunchan who were waiting outside broke in, Rong Yue immediately called out to them: "Hurry up and call the imperial doctor!"

Wan Lai's face was pale, her strength was weak, and she told the two of them to inform the emperor of the matter by the way, and then she lay back on the couch with the support of the three of them.

Rong Yue burst into tears, and took gauze to keep pressing on Wanyu's wound to stop the bleeding: "Don't be angry anymore, what if the blood can't stop? After all, you blocked Oboi's fatal attack for the emperor. With one blow, he cares about you again, and this matter will never involve you."

"Sister, would you like to help me?" Wan Yu didn't know where the strength came from, she suddenly grabbed Rong Yue's hand and said earnestly: "The emperor is furious now, whoever gets on with Oboi will end badly. But Ah Ma is really innocent, Although he has a good relationship with Oboi, he has never done anything that harms the heaven and the law, harms the country and the people, as a woman, if I can't protect my mother's family and just live alone, I will be extremely unfilial!"

A look of sadness flashed in Rong Yue's eyes: "How can I help you?" She endured the soreness on the tip of her nose, and said slowly: "Please be safe today, the empress reprimanded Concubine Yi in public, and even the concubine who is usually quiet I also made insulting remarks. I wanted to help a few words, but I also offended the queen. I arranged for Ama to speak for your mother's family in the court early in the morning, but even the Tong family and the Manchu officials spoke for the Niu Hulu family , after all, it is a person who speaks lightly and does too much."
