Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 34 Three Questions (2)

The blush on Dong E Xianglan's face hadn't subsided yet, and when Fulin asked her, she calmed herself down and said, "According to my concubine's humble opinion, the queen is the head of the harem, and this matter should be handed over to the queen for trial!" She was undoubtedly right However, Fulin had a deep prejudice against the queen, thinking that she "has no talent" and "lacks independent opinions", so he vetoed it without even thinking about it.

"The empress is still young and inexperienced, so she still needs to practice for a while. In my opinion, I should leave this matter to Concubine Tong. She has been helping the empress manage the six palaces all these years. I can rest assured that I will do it for her."

Hearing that Fulin trusted her so much, Concubine Tong couldn't help but brows with joy, but the Queen's face was miserable, her bright eyes were dim.

As soon as Fulin Jinkou opened, Dong Exianglan couldn't object any more, but she was not so relieved towards Concubine Tong. During the past few days in the palace, she had heard a little about Concubine Tong's handling methods, and she always felt that it was too ruthless and violated. Tianhe.

Shui Yin also thought the same as her, although Concubine Tong's attitude was clear before, she was looking towards the day and night, but it was not so reassuring, if this matter is entrusted to her, it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.However, she has the lowest status here, and she dare not intervene casually, so she can only cast a begging look at Dong Exianglan. Dong Exianglan finally couldn't stop her heart, and after a little consideration, she said to Fulin: "Your Majesty, it's better to let sister Zhen Let's assist Concubine Tong to try this matter together, two people's trial is always better than one person's trial, and this way no one will be dissatisfied with the result, what do you think?" She said this without violating Fulin's meaning, and put an end to it. Concubine Tong covered the sky with her own hands.

"Okay, according to the imperial concubine's wishes!" This time Fulin agreed very simply.

Concubine Tong was not happy about being divided, but she didn't want to show it in front of Fulin, and now she kowtowed to the concubine Zhen with a charming smile.

Fulin nodded slightly and said to the water: "Master Yin, until this matter is clarified, you'd better stay in Jingyixuan and don't wander around, let alone intervene in Mrs. Xi's affairs, you know?" The emperor was most suspicious , Fulin is no exception, this sentence is tantamount to putting Shuiyin under house arrest in a disguised form, poor Shuiyin not only can't say no, but also respectfully accepts the order.The woman in the deep palace is really so sad...

After Qingru learned about Shuiyin's situation from Zhilan, she was quite sad. Now even Shuiyin was suspected by Fulin. With her own strength, how could she find out the matter and turn things around? Yueling is also in vain, it seems that this matter must be asked to ask the Queen Mother, otherwise, before she can find the tone, Rixi will have already been convicted.

In the afternoon of this day, the weather suddenly became dull, making people breathless. Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Qingru exhaled heavily, as if wanting to let out the depression in his heart, I hope... I hope that Rixi can escape Survive this calamity!
It takes nearly half an hour to walk from Chonghua Palace to Compassionate Ning Palace. It is clear that the current grade is not enough to take a shoulder car, which is only available to concubines and above. When she finally got there, she found that the gates of Compassionate Ning Palace were closed , Su Moer guarded the door, not letting her in.

No matter how anxious Qing Ru was, she did not dare to offend the famous person in front of the queen mother, so she could only beg gently: "Auntie, I really have something urgent to see the queen mother, please pass it on to me!"

Su Mo'er smiled and said: "Your honor, it's not that the servants don't help you pass on the transmission, but the queen mother is listening to the eminent monks talking about Buddhism inside, and it's true that she can't see you, but the queen mother has already known what you want to say, so she specially ordered the servants to stay here I will wait for you and ask you three questions, but it is up to you if you want to answer, like a nobleman, do you want to listen?"

Qing Ru didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Queen Mother's gourd, so she had no choice but to nod to express her willingness. In desperation, she didn't see the slight sly smile on Su Mo'er's mouth.

"If that's the case, then listen." Su Mo'er stretched out the first finger: "The first question the Queen Mother wants the servant to ask you is: Do you think there can really be a permanent sisterhood in the palace?"

For this question, Qingru has the most experience, without needing to think about it, she opened her mouth and answered: "Yes!"

"Why are you so sure?" Su Mo'er asked curiously, then seemed to think of something, and added: "This is a private question for the servant, you don't need to answer it."

Qingru raised her face, and said slowly and forcefully: "They made me so sure, and it was precisely because of this rare sisterhood that supported me to survive in the palace. I hope and believe that , this friendship will last forever and will not change with the passage of time!"

From her eyes, Su Moer read the word "sincerity", and she was deeply moved. A long time ago, she also read these two words in the eyes of the Queen Mother. Its weight is as heavy as a thousand weights, and it is as light as a feather .

However, Su Mo'er clearly knows that one day, the sincerity in the eyes of this noble lady will slowly dissipate like the Queen Mother, and in the end there will be only a piece of precipitation after the storm, no matter whether she will end up with a bright future or a gloomy end, Because life in the palace is like this, cruel and real, but she hasn't realized it yet, and when she realizes it, everything can't stop, and can only develop in the direction that has been planned.

"Second question." She then stretched out another finger: "If one day, your good sister betrays your so-called friendship, and even wants to harm you, what will you do?"

Qingru thought about this question for a long time but did not come up with a good answer, she hesitated and said: "I don't know, maybe we have to wait until that day, when we are in the situation and have to solve it before we can make a decision. "

Su Mo'er didn't say whether this was the answer, but just pointed out again. At this time, her left hand, index finger and thumb formed a circle, and the other three fingers stood side by side facing the sky, shaped like a peacock's head: "If you want to be in the palace Choose one to attach to, which one would you choose?" When he said this, the three fingers moved slightly, if you don't pay attention, you won't notice it at all. , replied: "The dragon roams the sky, the phoenix soars to the sky, the emperor is the dragon, and the empress is the phoenix. In charge of the six palaces, she is the mother of the world. Of course, the empress is the only one who can be attached to this harem!"

After listening to her answer, Su Moer nodded and smiled. As expected of someone valued by the Empress Dowager, she could see and hear clearly.At that moment, she put away her hand and carefully took out from her bosom a three-inch-by-two-inch, delicate oval-shaped token. The token was golden in color, like it was casted in gold, with countless patterns engraved on it.

Su Mo'er raised the token above his head with a serious expression: "The queen mother's decree is like a nobleman kneeling to receive it!"

Qingru didn't dare to be negligent, she quickly raised her skirt and knelt down, looking down at the ground.Pulling tightly, Su Mo'er's voice continued to come from the top of his head: "The queen mother ordered the nobleman Hesheli to investigate the matter of nobleman Xi with all her strength, and specially granted the 'Chaohuang Golden Order'. With this golden order, you can enter and leave the six Within the scope of the palace, no one can interfere! There is a time limit of three days, and no matter what the result is, it will be handed over to Concubine Tong and Concubine Zhen for trial!"

Hearing the news at first, Qing Ru was at a loss. She thought that the Queen Mother was unwilling to help her, but now she not only agreed, but also gave her the Golden Order of Chaohuang. It's as if the Queen Mother is here.

At that moment, Qingru took the golden order from Su Moer with a trembling hand, only to hear Su Moer say: "Ru nobleman, this servant has followed the queen mother for so long, but this is the first time I have seen the golden order given to others. It can be seen that the queen mother I also feel that Mrs. Xi's matter is wronged, and I expect a lot from you, so don't let her down!"

"Thank you, aunt!" Qingru was grateful for Chaosumer's reminder just now, and thanked her with a blessing.If she hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would return empty-handed today.

Su Mo'er nodded with a smile, said goodbye, then turned around and opened the door to enter the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The moment she opened the door, Qingru saw two people sitting opposite each other, one of them was undoubtedly the Queen Mother, and the other had her back to the palace. He was looking at the door, and his whole body was hidden in the dark so he couldn't see clearly. Qingru couldn't see his appearance clearly. He must be the eminent monk Su Moer mentioned. Qingru bent over to the closed palace gate, and Thank you Queen Mother for your grace.
