Empress Xiao Zhaoren in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 32

Seeing her persistence, Xuan Ye had no choice but to follow Rong Huang's wishes and send Qianyi in.

As soon as Qianyi entered the palace, before she had time to kneel down to pay her respects, Rong Huang put her index finger on her right wrist and ordered to Qianyi: "To tell the truth, it was you who told me to come to Changchun Palace through the queen's order."

Qianyi was about to refute after hearing Rong Huang's voice, but when she turned her head and saw Rong Huang's eyes, her expression suddenly changed, she kowtowed and said in a panic: "It's a slave, it's a slave Chuan Zhao Concubine's..."

After a short silence, Xuan Ye sneered and said, "Look, even your confidant has been recruited, what else do you have to say?" He gave Hesheli a final disgusted look, and then joined hands with Rong Huang. Without looking back, he walked out of the gate of Changchun Palace.

"Empress Hesheli's disrespect in front of the imperial court was fined for three months, and she closed her door in the Changchun Palace to contemplate her mistakes."

Only in the evening, Kangxi's will spread throughout the harem.In Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Rong sneered when she heard the news, and said sarcastically, "It's really miserable for our empress, she has only been in charge of the affairs for two days, and then she was grounded again." She said Hesher Li Shi was really miserable, but there was no trace of regret on his face.

Nanny Qian, who was helping Concubine Rong take off the gilded armor, smiled and said gloatingly: "Now that bitch Hesheli is so miserable, isn't this in line with your mother's wishes? Thanks to Concubine Zhao and the Empress Along the way, she made a move, and saved your strength, Madam."

Speaking of Concubine Zhao, Concubine Rong's face suddenly turned pale, and she said with a little hesitation: "Although this is the case, I don't want to see Niu Hulu's family at ease! Since she intends to suppress the queen, then I just want to let the queen live There is a need for her. Concubine Zhao is in the limelight now, so she will definitely not join forces with us. Concubine Yi is useless, so we can only form an alliance with the queen... Wait until Hesheli is useless, and then stab her in the back She cut it!"

Qian Momo neatly arranged the nail covers, and after hearing Concubine Rong's words, she couldn't help clapping her hands and applauding: "Your Majesty is indeed extremely smart! Let Niu Hulu be proud for a few days! In a few days, she I'm about to hug and cry with Hershey..."

Concubine Rong smiled triumphantly, turned her head to look at herself in the mirror with a beautiful face, caressed her face and said, "That's right, so what if she is the number one beauty in the capital? Without an heir, she will never be able to turn over again..." Speaking of which As if she suddenly remembered something, she frowned, and asked a little uneasily, "Has the emperor flipped his cards today?"

Qian Momo's smile froze, she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Rong's face, and replied in a low voice: "The emperor turned over the signboard of Concubine Zhao, I'm afraid she is in Yikun Palace at this moment."

Concubine Rong's expression changed slightly, and her breath suddenly became rapid: "Concubine Zhao again? Your Majesty rarely favors anyone overnight..."

But what surprised Concubine Rong was yet to come. Not only did Xuanye flip through Ronghuang's signboard for two consecutive days, but from the third day Ronghuang entered the palace, he actually ordered Liang Jiugong to send all the books to the study of Yikun Palace!

That is to say, even if Kangxi does not turn over Ronghuang's brand in the future, he will go to Yikun Palace every day!What kind of love is this? !
It wasn't until this time that Concubine Rong realized that some things seemed to be different from her previous life...

It is said that after Ronghuang and Kangxi came back from Changchun Palace that day, the imperial physician that Wei Xi had sent to pass on to Yikun Palace followed closely.Kangxi personally watched the imperial physician finish prescribing the prescription for nourishing qi and blood for Rong Huang, and then he was relieved to go to the study to deal with government affairs.Rong Huang worked like a spinning top for a whole day and night, and finally had time to investigate the matter of Concubine Yi's drowning and illness.

On the pretext of inquiring about her condition, she dismissed all the irrelevant palace servants, leaving only Jing Yi, Ru Lan, Rui Lan and a few confidants nearby to serve her.

When the imperial doctor saw this situation, he knew that Rong Huang had something to ask him, so he knelt there upright and waited for Rong Huang to speak.

Because the matter of concubine Yi came up strangely, Rong Huang was a little suspicious of Hou Zheng before, so she beat Hou Zheng on purpose at this time, and after a while deliberately said: "Let's get back on your feet. Let's see how I forgot. There are old and young, and it is not easy to work hard in the palace all day."

Hou Zheng saw that although she was smiling, her words were vaguely warning, how could she dare to stand up, and hurriedly kowtowed to Rong Huang again, and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty has learned a lesson, my minister's loyalty to your Majesty is comparable to The sun and the moon..."

Rong Huang pouted her lips lightly, and said impatiently with her red phoenix eyes: "Okay, I didn't keep you here to say things that are useless. You are not too young, don't talk on your knees Yes." Hou Zheng finally answered "Yes" and stood up wiping his cold sweat.

"I would like to ask you, what is the cause of Concubine Yi's illness? Why did you go to take Concubine Yi's pulse that day?" This doubt has troubled her for a long time, but she was busy just after entering the palace, and she has not found a suitable one. opportunity to ask him.

After a while, Houzheng said: "Master, in fact, what I said yesterday was not half a lie. Concubine Yi was indeed hurt by her emotions to get sick. To put it simply, she has always been weak. Being overweight and being frightened by falling into the water, that's why... you will get this disease. It happened that Weichen was on duty yesterday, so when Chengqian Palace came to pass on the imperial physician, Weichen went. Everything that Weichen said is true, even if it is changed An imperial doctor took the pulse, but the result was still the same."

When he said this, he suddenly paused, and seeing Rong Huang's calm face, he boldly continued: "Damn it, my minister saw how pitiful she was yesterday, and she suffered from this disease at a young age, so I made up my own mind and said nothing. If you want to speak for Concubine Yi on purpose... If you violate your master's taboo, I will definitely die!"

Rong Huang pursed her lips and smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "You are serious. Since Concubine Yi suffered innocently, how can I blame you?"

At first, Rong Huang suspected that Concubine Yi deliberately hid her clumsiness when she first entered the palace, and let Rong Huang be the first.The so-called "a tree that grows beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it", since Rong Huang understands this truth, so will Concubine Yi understand it.But now it seems that she thought too much, Yibi didn't do anything, but was pushed into the water for no reason.

She thought for a while, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Who is asking Concubine Yi for a pulse right now in the Imperial Hospital?"

"It is Lord Lu Linglu who was sentenced by the court."

Rong Huang nodded in satisfaction, she doesn't want to be an enemy of the Tong family yet, it's better for them to solve the Tong family's affairs by themselves.

After sending off to wait for Zheng, Rong Huang washed up again, and without taking a nap in the morning, he passed the sedan chair to Chengqian Palace.The matter of Concubine Yi falling into the water is still strange, if she doesn't find out about it, she won't be able to sleep at night.

To her surprise, Chengqian Palace turned out to be much cooler than yesterday in just one day.Although it is not as dilapidated as the Changchun Palace, there are not many palace people who are busy coming and going.Unable to explain why, Rong Huang suddenly felt sad for the death of the rabbit and the fox.She has always known that the people in this palace like to praise the high and depress the low, but they have done too much, too blatantly, just now they know that the news that the concubine Yi can't go to bed is so negligent, and it is uncertain how they will be deducted in the future What about Tong's.

It wasn't until he reached the gate of the Nuan Pavilion that Rong Huang saw a little maid guarding the gate.She was about to go in to communicate, but was stopped by Rong Huang's wave.She wanted to see Yipin's true appearance, which would also help her solve the mystery.

Rong Huang approached the door with light steps, turned his face and gave Rui Lan a wink, signaling her to push the little maid away.Rui Lan nodded knowingly, and Rong Huang leaned over to listen to the movement in the room.

The sound insulation of ancient houses was extremely poor, so all the conversations of the people in the house were clearly transmitted to Ronghuang's ears.The first one to speak was a woman with a hoarse voice, obviously already aged, and even her voice trembled a little: "Master, you should rest more because you are not in good health, stop staring at those books all the time!"

After a short silence, I only heard Yipin say indifferently: "You don't understand, mama, I feel alive only by looking at these words." '...how well written."

The old nanny naturally didn't understand what the concubine Yi was talking about, and she still stubbornly persuaded: "Master always likes to see these heartbroken people, that's why the imperial doctor said that you were hurt by emotion. You have to say according to the servant girl." , as long as you don't look at these boring things, master, you will be cured of all diseases!"

Rong Huang listened intently, vaguely felt that there was something wrong, but couldn't remember it for a while.She took a few steps back and gave Jing Yi another wink.Jing Yi nodded in understanding, and said in a loud voice: "The concubine Zhao is here——"

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the room, which seemed to be the sound made by the friction of clothes.The voice was not low, as if it was deliberately hiding something.After a while, the door opened automatically, and an old woman about forty years old bent down and walked out, bowed a big salute to Ronghuang, and said, "May the concubine Zhao be blessed and safe."Rong Huang casually said "Excuse me" and walked into the back room.

She was slightly taken aback when she first entered the room.It's only the beginning of autumn now, and concubine Yi has already ignited silver charcoal here. It seems that concubine Yi's body is really not in good shape, and she can't even stand the coldness.

Seeing Ronghuang coming in, Mrs. Tong was about to go down to greet her. Ronghuang quickly reached out to stop her, and sat on the mahogany round stool brought by the old nanny, looking at Concubine Yi gently: "My good sister, what are you doing with me?" Why am I being so polite? We were on good terms during the draft. It’s a pity that you have been unbearable these past few years, and have never had a chance to have a good talk with you. Now we serve the emperor together, and we are considered a family. The deep palace is boring, I'm still counting on having someone to keep me company, so don't let me have a life split with you."
