Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 42 The Dark Night Poison (4)

When Concubine Tong said these words, Fulin and Concubine Zhen were listening carefully, but their expressions were slightly different. Compared with the hostility that gradually grew in Fulin's eyes, Concubine Zhen was mostly puzzled.Although Concubine Tong didn't mention the murderer in her words, the answer beyond the words was already ready to come out.

Thinking about the meaning of her words, Fulin felt a tightness in his chest, couldn't help coughing a few times, stopped Chang Xi from rubbing his back, and asked in a shy voice: "You mean that this matter is for a reason?" Did Shu Heng send someone to do it?"

"The concubine is just guessing based on the facts, and I dare not make a judgment. Besides, no matter who did the matter, in the final analysis, it is the result of the lax governance of the concubine. It has brought so many things to the emperor. It almost cost nobleman Xi his life. Although the emperor was generous and forgave the concubine, the concubine couldn't rest easy in his heart. The concubine was willing to be punished and asked the emperor to take back the concubine's right to manage the harem in order to atone for the crime of negligence. I hope the emperor will make it happen. !" At the end, Concubine Tong's voice couldn't help but choked up, and she knelt down at Fulin's feet again, her forehead touching the cold stone brick.The ring around the waist, the golden bracelet on the wrist, the pearls on the neck, and the step rock on the head all touched the stone bricks one after another, making beautiful sounds.

The tears of a beauty are always hard to let go, let alone such an outstanding beauty as Concubine Tong, and what's more, she is facing a young emperor who is infatuated with love.

Although Tong Jiawei Ning is not Fulin's favorite woman, she was the first to enter the palace after all, and she has been with him for five full years. How could Fulin have no feelings for her, and the golden dragon on the black boots was winding up , holding her slender fingers in Concubine Tong's arms.

Getting closer, the familiar ambergris entered her nose and nose. When she smelled this fragrance for the first time, she was a beautiful girl who had just been selected into the palace, looking at the emperor she was about to serve with infinite admiration. !Now, in the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and he and she are no longer what they used to be!

The man's hand and the woman's hand held each other, and they couldn't remember how long it had been since they held each other so purely.

"Tomorrow, I will go to your palace to see you and Xuan Ye!" There was a trace of apology in Fulin's eyes.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Tong's expression was so joyful.

Playing with the silk sash around her waist, she pretended not to see it, her eyes flickering under the long eyelashes.

After a while, Fulin let go of Concubine Tong's hand, and turned to concubine Zhen, "Zhen'er, you are not in good health, so go back first, as long as I and Concubine Tong are here! Zhen'er? Zhen'er? "Fulin called her a few times without responding, until the butterfly behind her quietly tugged on her sleeve to reflect, and said in a daze, "Your Majesty, are you calling me a concubine?" There were a few tiny drops of water, and a strange blush appeared on her cheeks for no reason.

"Sister Zhen, why does she look like this? She was fine just now. Could it be that her old heart palpitations have happened again?" Concubine Tong saw that something was wrong with Concubine Zhen, so she came over to support her, as if she was afraid that she would fall suddenly. There is also a look of concern on the face.

The concubine Zhen had this heart palpitation since she was a child. It is said that she was brought out from her mother's womb. Every time she had an attack, it was as if thousands of needles were pricking her chest. The pain was unbearable, and even worse, she couldn't even breathe.After entering the palace, she also suffered from it a few times, but it was much better than before, but every time the attack scared the people in her palace to death, the imperial doctor visited her all over, but they only prescribed some medicine to relieve her The pain at the onset of the disease, as for the root cause of the disease in the mother's womb, it cannot be removed no matter what, and it can only be recuperated slowly.

Because of this, Fulin loves her more than others. Although her status is not very high, no one has ever looked down on her, not to mention she has a sister who is an imperial concubine to support her.

Fulin reached out to touch the temperature on the concubine's forehead. Fortunately, it was not very hot: "Okay, why did you suddenly look like this, why don't I send someone to prepare shoulders and send you back first!"

Concubine Zhen pulled Fulin's hand down with a smile, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "How could this concubine be so useless, this concubine was just thinking about Mrs. Xi's affairs, that's all, Sister Concubine Tong's analysis just now was really reasonable, but this concubine But I thought of another possibility, it was because I was so engrossed in thinking about it that I lost my composure in front of the emperor!" When she said this, she calmly pushed away Concubine Tong's hand that was holding her waist.

The displeasure flashed across Concubine Tong's face, she smiled and said: "I don't know what my sister thinks, why don't you tell the emperor and me to listen."

"That's right, just say what Zhen'er thinks of!" Fulin also said.

Seeing this, the concubine Zhen gritted her teeth slightly and said, "Actually...in fact, from the very beginning, my concubine felt that there was something strange about the Changyin Pavilion. Mrs. Xi Gui is not a vicious person. Although Shu Changzai and her have some misunderstandings. Misunderstood, but it is not possible to hate to this extent, not to mention that if she really wanted to harm someone, she shouldn't have picked it at such a time, so this concubine thinks it is very likely that someone deliberately framed Mrs. Xi!"

"Sister, what you said doesn't make sense. Mrs. Xi has such a good temper and is favored by the emperor, who would be so bold to harm her?" Concubine Tong was full of disbelief, but it was Fulin who seemed to be touched and made her Be safe and don't get bored, and listen to the concubine Zhen to continue.

With Fulin's permission, the concubine cleared her throat and said again: "Not only the concubine is suspicious of this matter, I'm afraid the queen mother is also suspicious, otherwise she would not have given the imperial order to investigate this matter. As for Regarding the poisoning of the nobleman today, please forgive me for not agreeing with Concubine Tong's opinion!" At this point, her gaze swept across Concubine Tong's face intentionally or unintentionally.

"If the concubine's deduction is not bad, it should be that the people behind the scenes are afraid of being found out by the nobleman Ru and spoil his good deeds, so they just don't stop doing nothing and get rid of nobleman Xi to avoid future troubles. Just imagine, this person They are all dead, who has the heart to investigate whether she was wronged or not, and it must be done hastily in the end. Then he can sit back and relax, except for the dragon fetus in his womb, and let nobleman Xi bear the burden. Taking this scapegoat is killing two birds with one stone!"

What the concubine Zhen said was detailed and reasonable, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.Although Concubine Tong didn't take it seriously, she couldn't find a word to refute it all of a sudden, she could only twist the handkerchief in her hand to vent her dissatisfaction.

"Hmph! It's a good move that kills two birds with one stone. I almost let him deceive me. You should be more careful, Zhen'er!" Fulin thumped the table, his chest heaving and falling.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. These are just my concubine's guesses. The matter is not certain. Anyway, if the nobleman is already investigating, maybe this matter can be found out together. What I am worried about now is that, That person failed to harm Mrs. Cheng Xi this time, there will definitely be a next time, Mrs. Xi must be extra careful these few days, sister, don't you think so?" As she spoke, she brought up Concubine Tong again. , Although Concubine Tong was not very happy, she couldn't lose her appearance in front of the king, she nodded immediately and said: "Sister Zhen is right, the emperor, why don't the concubines send some trusted servants here to look after sister Xi. "

"No need!" Fulin unexpectedly rejected Concubine Tong's proposal after a little consideration: "I have my own opinion on this matter, that's all right, after so much trouble, you are all tired, kneel down!"

After Fulin had spoken, the two dared not refuse, and took out their handkerchiefs to salute and leave. Because Fulin had previously ordered Yueling to go back to the palace with Concubine Tong, so before Concubine Tong left, Changxi went to Rixi's room to put the worried Yueling Ling half urged and half invited to come out.

next day
The emperor sent an edict to the Sixth Palace:

Zhou Dehai, the former head of the Department of Punishment and Punishment, was negligent in his duties, which caused the poisoning of Xi Guiren among them. Now he is removed from the post of head of the department and demoted to the last rank of eunuch.

The nobleman Wu Yashi has not recovered from the poisoning, so during the pending trial, he was allowed to move back to Zhaoyun Pavilion and be guarded by the Imperial Forest Army. Before the matter is clear, he is not allowed to step out of the palace gate, and no one is allowed to visit.

In addition, often in Shuheng, he made great contributions to the birth of the emperor's heir. Although he failed to give birth to Lin'er in the end, his feelings were pitiful and his heart was pitiful. , to comfort his heart!
Huh, finally liberated, you can happily go to May Day, after May Day, it will return to the previous speed, and there will be an update every other day, and there will be an update on May [-]rd
