Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 51 Strategy and Scheme (3)

Although she slept very late that night, it was rare and sweet. Even in her sleep, it was bent. She woke up just after dawn, lifted the beaded gauze curtain, got out of bed, walked to the window with her shoes, Pushing open the window and door that had been closed overnight, the morning sun cast a golden halo on her body.

Qingru raised her plain face, took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance of flowers and plants, thought that she would see Fulin after a while, her heart that had been silent for a long time showed signs of being active again, that was her heaven and her land, even though He never wanted to meet eyes directly, but she could never forget her love, she just kept it in her heart.

I don't know what it will be like to meet again this time, is it as disgusting and disgusting as always?Or will it make him change?Qingru lowered her eyes and caressed her long silky hair, and asked herself quietly in her heart, love in this world really has no reason to follow, as soon as a person meets love, he loses himself, alas... really sad!
After everything was tidied up and dressed, she sat in the hall and slowly drank tea, looking at the sky outside from time to time. Zi Jin and the other four lined up behind her, ready to be called at any time.

When the tea was half full, the little Fuzi she sent out to inquire came back, with a clear face, he put the tea on the table and asked, "How is it?"

After beating for a thousand times, Xiao Fuzi said: "Return to the master, the emperor has not yet come to court, and he is still discussing political affairs with the ministers. The slave has already conveyed your words to Eunuch Chang. He said that he will report to the emperor as soon as he comes to court. Please, master." Be patient!"

Qingru nodded, picked up the tea again, was about to drink it when she thought of something, looked behind Xiaofuzi and said, "Why didn't you see Xiaoluzi, didn't he go with you?"

"Back to the master, on the way back, the slaves heard someone say that something happened to Changying Pavilion, Xiao Luzi worried that it might be related to the master's affairs, so he went to have a look, and the slaves rushed back first to report the matter to the master I think he'll be back soon!"

Just as he was talking, Xiao Luzi ran in hastily, his face was pale, before he even had time to salute, he opened his mouth to say a shocking news: "Master, last night, Zhou Zheng, the troupe's leader, hanged himself in his room!"

At this critical time, Zhou Zheng, who was an insider, actually committed suicide. Not to mention the big news, the maids covered their mouths and exclaimed, Qing Ru was also shocked, and asked in a low voice: "Is this true?"

Xiao Luzi swallowed his saliva and replied: "It's absolutely true, the slave is the one who watched the guards carry the body out from the door!"

The nails that had been trimmed a few days ago suddenly pierced into the flesh, which was painful, but the more it hurt, the tighter the fists were clenched. Zi Jin looked worriedly at the young lady's clenched fists and white knuckles, really afraid that she would She was in pain, and was hesitating whether to persuade her, when a loud noise startled her.

Qingru thumped the table heavily, all the gentleness disappeared with this punch like leaves blown by the wind, leaving the coolness in the empty room...

hateful!Last night, in order to get Shi Sheng to tell the truth, she lied to them that Zhou Zheng was dead. Unexpectedly, her words came true. She received the news of Zhou Zheng's death early in the morning. !This woman is really hateful!
She killed Zhou Zheng, so the next thing to deal with should be...

not good!Qingru's half-closed eyes suddenly widened, she stood up from the chair, and walked out like a gust of wind, "Quick, follow me to see how the two prisoners are doing!"

Qing Ru kept praying that nothing would happen to those two while walking, otherwise she would not be able to say anything clearly, and everything she had done would be in vain.Speaking of this matter, I blame her for not being careful enough. Since she knew about sending someone to pretend to be an assassin, why didn't Concubine Tong think that it was possible for Concubine Tong to send an assassin to kill people? Alas, if she knew this, she should have reported it to the emperor overnight. It is because she underestimated the enemy It's too late to regret it now, but I hope there is still time to remedy it.

It was only a short distance from her bedroom to the place where the prisoners were held, and she arrived within a few steps. Before entering the door, Qingru almost collapsed. The four eunuchs guarding the door were all lying unconscious on the ground at the moment, and it did not look like Sleeping normally, Xiao Fuzi stepped forward to look at it, and said with a worried expression: "Master, they were all fainted by incense."

Qingru knew that her face must be ugly at the moment, she even felt that the cold sweat was constantly soaking her close-fitting clothes, she grabbed Zipei's hand vigorously, as if to support herself not to fall down.

Feet straddled the person lying on the ground with difficulty as if filled with lead. Knowing that there must be a lot of bad luck inside, I still couldn't help but want to see it with my own eyes.However, the moment the door opened, she couldn't help but close her eyes tightly, and gasped again and again, was it because she was scared when she saw the corpse?
Qingru really didn't have the courage to open her eyes to see, until Zipei shouted in her ear with a very excited voice: "Miss! Miss, look, they are not dead! They are not dead!"

After being called out by her, Qingru opened her eyes suspiciously. As Zipei said, Shi Sheng and He Yi were standing in front of them alive. Apart from listlessness and red and swollen eyes, there was no other abnormality. Not dead or dizzy.

Seeing this, the breath held in her heart was slowly relieved. The ups and downs came too fast and too fast, and she didn't know how to adapt. After the big stone in her heart was put down, suspicion suddenly resurfaced: "What happened last night?" , why are the guards outside falling to the ground, but you are so alive?"

He Yi huddled in Shi's arms and trembled all over. She seemed to have something to say, but she opened her mouth a few times but couldn't utter a single word. Shi Sheng calmed down a lot, not as scared as last night, he said in a deep voice He replied: "At three nights last night, another assassin came and he also wanted our lives, but it was the same as last time, he also failed to kill us!" With a slightly weird smile, he seemed to be pointing at something, but before Qingru realized it, he said again: "It was an old man in eunuch clothes who saved us, and he knocked him away with just a few hits."

Qing Ru frowned as she listened, why did she feel that Shi Sheng's appearance was a bit strange today, it was very different from him last night, and also, how could an old man come out of Chonghua Palace to rescue them for no reason, could it be Chang Xi's arrangement?
The doubts in Qingru's heart increased instead, and just when she was hesitating to ask questions, Chang Xi arrived with Fulin's order, and she immediately took the prisoner to Qianqing Palace to meet him!
At the same time, there were other concubines who received the order, and Rixi and Shu Heng, who were the parties involved, came despite their poor health, especially Shu Heng, who was already imagining how the emperor would torture Rixi later. The hatred in her heart is gone, and Dong Exianglan, Concubine Tong and Concubine Zhen are the other ones, all of whom came with various thoughts and purposes.

Qingru was the last one to come to Qianqing Palace. As soon as she stepped into the palace gate, she saw Fulin sitting in the middle. He didn't even change his court clothes just now. Looking up, all the resentment, sorrow, and hatred completely fade away when seeing that handsome figure, leaving only the full of bitterness, as if returning to the moment when he was wronged for the first time!
Fulin's eyes met Shang Qingru's sad eyes, his heart felt like someone had hammered him, and he couldn't move away, so sad, so sad!
Maybe...he really should get to know her again...

The words that he thought of when he was in the Compassion Ning Palace reappeared in his mind now...

"Your majesty, should you let nobleman Ru get up first?" Dong E Xianglan's voice was graceful and light, but her smile was not so natural. Although she was talking to Fulin, the corner of her eyes was always looking at Ru, her eyes were full of guard .

After her reminder, Fu Linfang came back to his senses, covered up his gaffe just now by coughing, waved his hands and said, "Stay flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qing Ru stood up and retreated to Ri Xi after she thanked her. She hadn't seen Ri Xi since she left the cell. Seeing her leaning softly on the seat, she seemed to have no strength at all. Seeing Qing Ru , she bent her lips with great effort, trying to force a smile out of her paleness.

Qingru held her hand still holding the gauze sadly, trying hard to force the tears back into her stomach.

"My lord, is this the prisoner you mentioned?" Fulin asked, pointing to Shi Sheng and He Yi who were kneeling under the Highness.

Qingru let go of Rixi's hand, took a step forward and replied: "Your Majesty, the two of them, one is a murderer and the other is an insider, both of them are inseparable. As for who is behind the scenes, and how did they plan?" Let them speak for themselves!"

"The person who ordered me to do this is Shu Gui herself!" Shi Sheng's first words shocked everyone, especially Qing Ru, who heard Shi Sheng say the mastermind behind the scenes last night Even Concubine Tong, I believe it must be the truth, why did he suddenly change his mind now, and put everything on Shu Heng, does it mean that he really doesn't want to live anymore.
