The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 98

Pale yellow smoke curls up from the hollow gaps of the three-layer six-legged gilt incense burner on the sitting table, mixed with the smell of ambergris, and falls on the sapphire screen embroidered beside it.

Concubine Hui stared at the corner of the screen, which was slightly yellowed due to the smoke, with a calm smile on her lips. After a moment of silence in the hall, Fang rubbed Juanzi and leaned back: "Your Majesty, my concubine also feels this matter." This arrangement is inappropriate."

She took two steps forward, stood between Ronggui and Yunshan, looked slightly sideways at Ronggui and sighed: "Although Ronggui did something wrong, it didn't come from her in the final analysis. Then What did she do wrong? It was nothing more than laying out those rumors in front of the emperor, so that the emperor would investigate the matter. If nobleman Wan is innocent, the rumors and rumors can be quelled. Otherwise, there will be endless rumors in the palace, How is this going to end?"

Seeing that the emperor was silent and let her speak, she turned her eyes to Yunshan again, and continued: "Again, what did she do wrong? It was just telling the emperor what she heard and saw, Yichenqie Look, what Yunshan did should not be reprimanded by the emperor, but should be rewarded. The emperor thinks, all the things Yunshan said are recognized by the nobleman, so it can be seen that there are no lies? Such a heartfelt slave who dares to tell the truth, If the emperor executes her in the name of 'betraying the lord', what should the people in the palace think? Everyone knows that they should be sincere to their lord in the future, even if there is something wrong with the lord, no one dares to say it. Miss Yunshan has a very reasonable saying. In the Forbidden City, the only serious master is you, the emperor. If you tell the truth, it is considered a betrayal of nobleman Wan. If she does not tell the truth, is it considered a betrayal of the emperor? Which matter is more important, I think it should be divided by people, right?"

Concubine Hui spoke eloquently and spoke impeccably, Concubine Yi took a deep look at her and was also secretly apprehensive.

Such confounding black and white and well-founded statements must have been prepared when Rong Guiren decided to report Wan Yu.

Compared with Concubine Yi, Rong Yue at this time was even more confused.

Concubine Hui has always been on good terms with her and Wanyu, why now she is talking to Rong Guiren first class instead?
"Then according to what Concubine Hui said, I am wrong about this matter now?"

Concubine Hui smiled and shook her head: "No, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can there be any mistakes? If there is a mistake, it is only on one person." She slowly cast her gaze on Shen Ye, and said: "Even if the guard Shen Ye has nothing to do with nobleman Wan However, the matter of him entering the palace is extremely strange. What is the meaning of Niu Hulu's mansion sending him into the palace? What is hidden behind it is a heart of daring or other intentions. This is what the emperor should get to the bottom of .”

Shen Ye was unable to refute, Empress Emei frowned slightly: "Concubine Hui sees this matter clearly, no matter how violent the incident in the harem is, it is still a small incident, but the origin of this guard must be investigated carefully. I don't know how many people there are in this palace. A person like him, whose background is unknown, but who is in an important position as a close guard by the emperor's side."

The emperor pondered for a while thoughtfully, and then said: "This matter must be done. First, press the person down for trial. As for Niu Hulu's mansion, Ye Bilong will be released from the prison. Let's wait a little bit beforehand. When I have an idea, I will ask in person."

The queen raised her face to Kang Fushou, and he immediately ordered several guards to press Shen Ye out of the hall.

"That honorable man."

"Even if it's unintentional, it's inappropriate to spread rumors like this. So I took away my title and became a permanent presence, living in Chengqian Palace to think about my mistakes. As for Chengrui, the empress's words are also reasonable. I can't ignore his future feelings. In this way, then Let’s keep it in Elder Brother’s place. It’s just that Ma Jia doesn’t visit often when he has nothing to do, so as not to spoil the child.” The emperor sent Ma Jia and Chang Zai was about to question Yun Shan, but Hui Concubine said again: “As for Miss Yun Shan, it’s okay to behave like this. It is also inappropriate to serve noble lady Wan. The courtiers and concubines are watching, why not move her to the imperial court to be a cleaning lady, and punish her slightly."

The emperor nodded in agreement, looked at the queen and said: "In the future, there will be no such gossip and gossip in the palace. The queen is in the middle palace, and she needs to take care of her baby with peace of mind during pregnancy. Many things are inconvenient to handle by herself, so I ask Concubine Yi to help She is also an old man in the palace, and her status is precious, so she is worthy of the great task of assisting the sixth palace."

The queen was absolutely unwilling in her heart. It can be seen that Concubine Yi had knelt down to thank her, so she had no choice but to pretend to be virtuous and accept the matter.

After the emperor left that day, the queen reprimanded everyone in the palace with the prestige of a queen. People with a discerning eye could see that she was doing this just to show Concubine Yi and let her know that even if she had an assistant six The power of the palace, but the real power is still her, the queen who sits alone on the phoenix throne.

It wasn't until the afternoon when the imperial hospital brought the anti-fetal medicine that the empress ordered everyone to disperse, leaving Concubine Hui alone in the Shuhua hall.

Today's matter was originally handled by her and Ma Jiaxiuyan secretly without telling the queen, but now that the matter has been broken, Wannai has not been involved in the turmoil. On the contrary, Concubine Yi has gained the power of assistant to the sixth palace for nothing. She looked at the eyes on the high seat The queen, who was narrowed into a slit, felt a chill in her back.

Qingyue tested the temperature of the anti-fetal medicine and was about to serve it to the queen. When she passed by Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui stopped her to take the medicine bowl and ordered her to serve outside.

After Qingyue came out behind closed doors, she saw Concubine Hui laughing, walked to the side of the queen and slowly kowtowed, raised the medicine bowl above her head respectfully and said: "Madam, I will serve you first to take this anti-fetal medicine."

The queen was furious immediately, and with a flick of her sleeve, she knocked over the anti-fetal medicine in Concubine Hui's hand.

The hot soup splashed all over Concubine Hui's head, and the porcelain bowl shattered when it hit the ground, and the shards flew up and splashed on her body, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and the back of her hand was scratched with a bright red bloody gash.

She wiped off the blood stains with very light movements, knelt down on her knees and dared not move an inch, and lowered her head even deeper with a look of grievance on her face.

The queen glanced at her, and said sharply: "Is this the good thing you did?"

Concubine Hui turned pale and said, "Empress, it's not my concubine's intention that things have gone to such an extent. This concubine wants to get rid of the two sisters of Niu Hulu's family for you. But the queen mother came in without thinking and came in to rescue her?"

The queen sneered: "The old ancestor is closer to you after all. Is it possible that you can expect me to give you an accurate account of things you don't know?"

Concubine Hui pursed her thin lips, her expression was mournful and she wanted to argue, but the queen didn't hear her explanation, she felt her heart was oppressed, her stomach turned sour, and she clutched her chest and retched after a while.Seeing this, Concubine Hui hurriedly got up to help the queen, but she was pushed away by the queen as soon as she got close to her. She staggered and almost fell from the steps.

Concubine Hui's complexion was red and white, and she didn't dare to take a breath, lest she would offend the queen again.
