The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 86

In the side hall, except for the gilt palace lamps burning on the small tables for warming seats, there were not too many candles burning.

Two or three red candles were burning in embarrassment, and scattered sparks popped out of the candle ends, as if they were about to go out at any moment.

The window at the side of the couch is open and through the gauze curtain, a ray of light moonlight shines on Wanyu's calm and watery face.

"Thank you for being willing to do these unfavorable things for me." Wanyu thanked her with trembling lips, picked up the corner of the quilt, and said: "As long as the emperor has pity for me, I will take half of my life. He can't bear to punish my mother's family again. My sister still needs to speak to the emperor for me, saying that I don't know anything about my mother's family, and I only wake up for a while to move my body, and the wound is torn again and I faint."

She was about to be bitten to death by the quilt, and before Rong Yue could ask her what she wanted to do, she pressed one hand firmly on the wound, and gouged it down, the wound immediately bled profusely, Rong Yue was so frightened Tolerance pales.

She hastily moved Wanyu's palm away, but she heard a muffled groan, sweating profusely and passed out.

In the next three days, Chengqian Palace visited countless imperial doctors every day, and it seemed to become the second imperial hospital in the palace.

The knife wound Wan Yu suffered did not involve a vital point, no matter how deep the wound was, it was still a minor injury, so it was not a big deal to make such a fuss.However, the emperor was worried, and everyone in the imperial hospital dared not neglect.

Later, I don't know how long the pain spread all over her body, Wanyu gradually regained her consciousness, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them.

She only felt sharp pain from the scar on her shoulder, her body became colder and colder, and dizziness came from her mind.

Her body is extremely light, like catkins floating in the air, and her heart is filled with a sense of emptiness and fear.

Although her eyes were closed, she could feel the light from the outside world.

In the pleasant light, a bright yellow figure flashed across.

She knew that the emperor had come.

Then, a familiar and soft voice sounded beside her ears: "Wan'er, I'm here to make you suffer."

Wan Lai tried her best to lift her eyelids to a narrow gap, the sun outside was bright and warm, the hall was empty at the moment, only the emperor was sitting in front of the couch, looking at her softly like spring water.

She met the emperor's gaze, she didn't say much, just faced each other silently with tearful eyes in the silence and peace.

These tears flowed to himself and also to the emperor.

Since ancient times, heroes can shed blood but never see tears of beauty, and the same is true for the emperor.

A gloomy look appeared on his face, and he tightly held Wanyu's hand.

Her hands were so cold, like icicles that had condensed under the eaves in the harsh winter, when the emperor touched them, the scene of Wan Lai sacrificing her life for his life would unconsciously reappear in front of her eyes.

Thinking of her suffering so much for herself, her heart ached even more: "You could have taken care of yourself that day, but it was I who Oboi wanted to hurt, why are you so stupid?"

Looking at her withered, slender, bloodless hands, Wanyu shrank back subconsciously, and said in a very low voice: "If the emperor has something to do, how can the ministers and concubines be considerate? The ministers and concubines protect you, as a courtesy to the emperor and ministers." It should be done, and it should also be done if an ordinary woman loves her husband." She paused for a while, and burst into tears: "If I were the emperor, would I protect my concubines like this?"

The emperor wiped away the tears for her, nodded in response to her words, and then said gently: "I will not only protect you, but also your family. Wan'er can recover from her illness at ease, and I will have nothing to worry about."

Wan Yu was very surprised, she didn't expect that she didn't need to ask for this, but said it from the emperor's mouth first.

The wound on the shoulder was still tearing and painful, but with the emperor's words, the safety of the mother's family was protected, which was more beneficial than any panacea for wounds used by the imperial hospital.

Wanyu still had some tears in her eyes, but there was an indifferent smile on her face: "Thank you, my concubine. I don't know how much time has passed since this concubine slept. I don't know what happened to Ama after this incident. ?”

She tentatively asked the emperor, and the emperor was a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to hide it from her and told the truth: "There is a commotion in the court, and everyone is saying that Ye Bilong will be sentenced to death and his relatives will be sent to the frontier. I press here However, it was not good enough to forgive him, so he and his relatives were thrown into prison. I have ordered the prison guards to order them to eat and drink as offerings, and not to be neglected."

The emperor sighed faintly, a gleam of sharpness flashed in his eyes, he changed the subject and said: "But Wan'er, this matter has nothing to do with you, Ama, and it's okay for him to let Oboi do those utterly unconscionable things." Not entirely innocent."

Wan Lai's lips parted slightly, and she opened her mouth slightly to argue, but she was at a loss for words for a moment.

The emperor comforted her, saying that Ye Bilong would be forgiven to return to the mansion after the limelight had passed, but he would no longer be able to hold an important position in the court, thinking of his many years of meritorious deeds without knowing what was wrong, it would be a good idea to spend his days in the capital. up.

Such an ending may be the most satisfactory for the Niu Hulu family.

Wanna smiled slightly, thanked the emperor for his grace, drank the decoction under his tender care, and fell into a deep sleep.

It is difficult to hide the news in the Forbidden City at any time.

When and where the emperor said what, the palace was full of people in the palace, and the spread was as fast as the summer breeze.

The empress was admiring the newly bloomed green chrysanthemums and chatting with Qingyue under the corridor of Kunning Palace.

The Hesheli family was the biggest beneficiary of Oboi's downfall, and when she was overjoyed at the birth of a son, she was naturally in a good mood.

But at this time Concubine Hui came in a hurry, greeted her solemnly with blessings.

The queen couldn't see her recklessness, she raised the phoenix-patterned juan in her hand, frowned and said: "Why are you always so unsteady these days? You don't have to let people see and think you have done something wrong."

Concubine Hui took a deep look at the queen, lowered her voice and said, "The lady next to Mrs. Wan just came to report that the emperor himself promised Mrs. Wan that when the storm subsides, he will pardon Ye Bilong's death crime."

Qingyue's face froze when she heard the news, and her voice became a little higher: "E Bilong colluded with Oboi to commit the death crime of beheading, and Oboi saved the life of Emperor Taizong, and he is regarded as the emperor if he is spared." Merciful and merciful, why should he, Ye Bilong?"

The queen's complexion turned slightly pale, but she was quite stable after all.She turned her face away, picked up a blooming green chrysanthemum, and wrote casually: "You can also say that Oboi saved Emperor Taizong's life, and the emperor was very kind. On that day, in the Hall of Martial Arts, how could nobleman Wan not be for the emperor? She blocked the flying knife and saved the emperor's life? You can see her status in the emperor's heart just by looking at all the courteous people in the Imperial Hospital surrounding Chengqian Palace in the past few days."

Concubine Hui helped the crooked golden hairpin on her forehead, and asked, "What is your plan?"

The queen took a deep breath, and said with a sneer: "Everyone is in prison, what else do I need to plan? Under the pressure of Ama and Prince Kang, the emperor will not mess up the government that was so hard to stabilize for a little nobleman, right?" The empress picked off the green chrysanthemum petals one by one, and her eyes froze: "There are still a long time in the palace, and now it is the time for the colorful flowers to bloom, let's see when this flower of hers will bloom or wither."

"When will you fall? Doesn't it all depend on your mother's will?" Concubine Hui squeezed out a bright smile at the queen.

The queen raised her eyebrows with a contented expression, and stopped answering her words.
