Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 1

Outside the tall old dark red palace wall in Yongxiang, a few dark crows suddenly passed by, making the already gloomy sky even more desolate.

The two maids in pink carried the palace lanterns and hurried to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, whispering, "The eldest prince is so pitiful. He lost his mother and concubine after his first birthday. Although he was temporarily raised by the queen mother, in the end It's different."

"It can be seen that there is no peace in the palace these days, and it has something to do with Concubine Rong..." The other palace lady fell silent after she finished speaking, looked around, not daring to say more.

"Concubine Rong went there last night, and Eunuch Huang found out this morning when he was delivering meals to Lenggong...According to legend, Concubine Rong's confidant maid, Mei Zhu, secretly brought the poison and mixed it into wine to drink! Then Mei Zhu So he also hanged himself to die for the Lord, which is really tragic."

"I was able to see Your Majesty in the Empress Dowager's bedroom at noon, and saw that he only ate cup after cup of tea, and after a few hours, he didn't even say a word." The tall slender palace maid said regretfully.

"Thinking about it, His Majesty is still reluctant to let go of Concubine Rong's old love, and has never issued a decree to convict her. It's really lamentable why she went first."

"It was only rumored in the palace last month that His Majesty is going to make Concubine Rong as his queen. I never thought that in just a few days..."

While the two were talking, they saw the chief eunuch in a dark blue eunuch uniform with dark patterns walking quickly behind him, followed by a group of waiters and daughters of the palace, all of them were in a hurry, Huang Pei'an's oily voice immediately reprimanded him, He said, "The two invisible things, what time is it, they are still grinding their mouths here, and something happened to Yanhua Palace, go to Compassion Ning Palace to report!"

The two maids in pink hurriedly bowed deeply, fell silent, and ran away.

"In troubled times, you all need to pay more attention to the head on top of your own head!" After Huang Pei'an said, he also showed embarrassment, wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and did not dare to delay for a moment, heading towards Kunyuan Hall .

At dusk, in Yanhua Palace, on the white marble floor, there was a snow-white figure curled up, the girl's whole body was almost lying on the ground.

Although the courtyard was filled with womb maids, they could hear clearly even a silver needle falling on the ground, only the sound of panting one after another.

To the north of the crowd, a chariot with a hundred birds facing the phoenix clouds sits in the center of the main hall, and a woman in palace attire walks up to her, wearing a silk and silver pattern corset with pleated wide sleeves, and a cloak of snow lotus and cicada wings as her outer covering. , On the dreamy fairy bun, which was curled up high, three exquisite emerald purple jade buds of the same style were inserted at an angle, and the whole person was as bright and dazzling as clouds.

Beads of sweat fell from the forehead of the little eunuch who was waiting close by, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He just bowed his back deeply and said, "Empress Yifei, how do you think about it?"

Only then did Concubine Yi lift her eyelids, Danfeng's eyes were slender, like stars, the corners of her eyes and brows were smooth and arrogant, she was twisting a pair of purple-gold black iron necklaces in her hand, she said slowly, "Who is kneeling, but we have found out? "

"Returning to my mother, this girl is Zhao Jieyu's aunt's cousin, and she will go to the palace to visit relatives in four days."

Concubine Yi paused, changed her posture, leaned on the soft back, raised her lips into a smile, and said, "Sis Concubine Rong has just gone, and someone dared to steal her belongings and trespassed in Yanhua Palace. It's a crime of disrespect! Since she misses her sister so much, why don't she go with her, it's also good to be a companion under Jiuquan."

The girl shrunk on the ground was shocked when she heard the words, raised her head suddenly, knelt forward and crawled a few steps, and cried, "I didn't mean to offend Concubine Rong, but because I accidentally picked up a necklace outside, and Seeing that the gate of Yanhua Palace was wide open, there happened to be a similar one in the inner sill, and a ghost was fascinated for a moment, so I strayed into the palace by mistake, and begged the empress to forgive me and let the minister and daughter live..."

Concubine Yi still smiled lightly, she hooked her slender fingers, and then two more eunuchs stepped forward, "This palace sees the beauty of this girl, if she dies with a stick, I really can't bear it, so I just picked a lighter method stop."

The little Yuezi understood as soon as he heard it, and glanced at the young girl, only to see that her face was covered with dust, which still couldn't hide her original beauty, what a pity for such a beauty.

He rolled his eyes, bowed his waist and said, "Your Majesty is kind, she can't see the smell of blood, as far as I know, the half face of hibiscus has not been used in the palace for a long time, why don't I give it to her."

Concubine Yi's subordinates stopped, nodded and praised, "Very good, I'll do it right away, my palace is busy, and I have to go to Kunyuan Palace to serve His Majesty soon."

This kind of punishment is one of the top ten tortures in the palace. The executioner slaps the prisoner's right half of the cheek with a two-inch thick camphor board, causing severe head injuries, damage to the mouth and face, until death due to blood stasis.

Because of the brutal situation, half of the face has no good skin and flesh, it looks like the hibiscus flower in full bloom, hence the name Ruo Ruo.

Several execution eunuchs immediately pinned the girl in white to the ground, the girl struggled and cried miserably, Mo Yan, Yifei's close nurse, took half a foot of plain gauze, and blocked her mouth.

After all, the woman's strength is weak, she only made dozens of blows, and then there was no more movement, the entire Yanhua Palace was silent, only the resounding applause echoed rhythmically on the nine-fold palace.

After a long time, the girl in white had already received thirty palms, her originally tender face was extremely red and swollen, the corners of her lips were bruised, and the dark red blood kept dripping down the corners of her mouth, staining the ground red.

Concubine Yi saw that she was about to die, so she frowned impatiently, and said, "It's easy for you to deal with it, if you don't handle it properly, you don't have to come back, I will go ahead."

At this time, Huang Pei'an's voice suddenly sounded to announce the decree, Concubine Yi's heart tightened and she had no choice but to rush to accept the decree.

This emperor's order was to pardon this woman's crimes, and because Concubine Rong was gone, only minor punishments and major punishments were allowed, and capital punishment was not allowed.

After hearing this, Concubine Yi gritted her teeth in hatred. The emperor entered the cold palace from Concubine Rong. Although there was nothing unusual on the surface, she could tell that the emperor still had a hard time thinking about Concubine Rong. position, did not decree to convict.

Since the day she entered the Eastern Palace, Concubine Rong has taken advantage of everything, and she has gathered thousands of pampers all over her body. Over the years, she has been unwilling to bear it, bent down to serve her, and treated her like an older sister. Disobedient, even His Majesty often praised her for her loyalty.

In order to achieve such a day, several years of planning were finally not in vain.

This time, if she hadn't taken advantage of the chaos to act first, I'm afraid that one day, Concubine Rong would definitely recover, and her family would never have a bright future.

But now that Concubine Rong died, the emperor didn't summon any concubines, he just stayed in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and now he is so merciful and forgiving for an irrelevant woman, everything is all because of Concubine Rong!

Concubine Yi clenched her sleeves into a ball, but she couldn't get angry, so she reprimanded, "Sister is always kind-hearted, but you are so bold, you don't want to stop, teach Zhao Jieyu's servants to come and pick her up."

Xiao Yuezi picked up Yingluo on the ground, and asked softly, "Madam, what should I do with this thing?"

"Destroy it, pick a clean place, and burn it to Concubine Rong!" Concubine Yi walked away with her phoenix eyes raised.

She was furious in her heart, but on her face she looked sad, Concubine Rong's bitch is really a disaster, the emperor really loves her so much, even if he dies, he can't teach him to forget it.

In terms of family background and appearance, which part of my family can't compare with her?But it was a step late, but he lost to her in everything.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Yi Fei's lips.

So what if Concubine Rong is favored again?It was nothing more than a dead man.How could a dead person deserve to compete with her!
Tang Xiang is dead, looking at the court, only her, the Shen family, is the most popular.All the glory and favor of Concubine Rong during her lifetime will one day fall into her hands, Shen Jinghua.

In Yanhua Palace, several court maids carried the girl on the ground back to Fangming Palace.

Except for the faint breath left, she is like a dead person, lifeless.

The little maid couldn't bear to look at it again, she just lamented the impermanence of the harem, and the most beautiful woman is unlucky.

Outside the mottled palace walls, the setting sun was like blood, and it fell on the highest point of the eaves of the palace group, which was the warped glazed roof of the Yanhua Palace.

Once upon a time, it was the most prestigious sleeping hall among the six palaces, and many concubines were envied by its grace.But now, in the rolling twilight, it is particularly desolate and desolate, and after a while, they disappeared into the night with the sun slanting westward.

A companion is like a tiger, the most ruthless emperor's family, but in just one night, the sea has changed.

Dim moonlight slanted down from outside the window lattice, reflecting the sleeping woman in the soft carved rosewood couch.

Tang Wanruo struggled a few times in the dream, but she didn't have any strength, only felt the burning pain on the right half of her cheek.

In the cold night, only the fireflies are silent.

It has been 37 days since she was imprisoned in this gloomy and desolate cold palace.

Tang Zhengqing, the prime minister of the court, formed a clique for personal gain and deliberately conspired against him, which caused a sensation in the court and the public, and everyone was in a panic.

Those courtiers who usually do everything possible to climb up to the prime minister's mansion now wish to leave the ground clean, for fear of suffering the crime of sitting on the ground.

The harem has been a place of evil since ancient times, and naturally it has turned upside down.

In the whole world, no one knows that Tang Wanruo, the daughter of the Tang family, has enjoyed the favor of a special room since she entered the East Palace at the age of 16. This favor lasted for eight years.

Prince Duan Zhaoling came to the throne for the first time two years ago and became the fourth emperor of Qianyuan, named Emperor Xuandewu.

When the new emperor came to the throne, the six palaces were not full, the Ye court was empty, one empress and four concubines were all vacant, and there were only three titled empresses in the main palace.

Then Tang Wanruo was conferred the title of Concubine Rong as the crown prince and concubine, and was promoted to be the head of the three concubines. Since Emperor Xuande did not become an empress, the power of the six palaces naturally fell into her hands.

The other two concubines, one is Li Ling, the second daughter of Zhongshu's servant, named Concubine Jing.

The second is Shen Jinghua, the daughter of the Minister of War, named Concubine Yi.

The status of the concubines under him is not high.

And Tang Wanruo also lived up to the grace, and gave birth to the first dragon son in the winter of the previous year. The mother is precious because of the son, so she is favored day by day.

In the harem and temples, no one could say how much of the influence of the Tang family and the love of the emperor were under the favor of Concubine Rong.

The king's heart is unpredictable, everyone understands this truth, and Tang Wanruo is a daughter of the prime minister, dignified and elegant, so she naturally understands this truth well.

It is also an unspeakable secret that Tang Xiangquan was in power, but it is also the root cause of the family's decline in the future.

Once the storm is about to come, it blows away all the power and honor.

Become faster than the human heart.

On the day when Tang Zhengqing was convicted, an edict to depose Tang Wanruo was issued immediately. Before Tang Wanruo could even take off the Zhuchai's fine clothes, she was seized by her son and searched the palace, and thrown into the cold palace.

She knew that her father was a loyal man, and it was absolutely impossible for her to do such an act of infidelity.

Besides, he is already under one person and above ten thousand people, so why do he dig his own grave like this?
She wrote several times to ask to see Long Yan, but she was coldly rejected, except for the palace servants who routinely interrogate her every day, no one else cares about her.

During such sleepless hours, Tang Wanruo waited and hoped with the remaining thoughts, hoping that His Majesty would remember the eight years of love between husband and wife, at least see one side, even if she dies, she will die in peace.

But after all, she overestimated the emperor's heart, and the seemingly overwhelming favor was so unbearable.

The grace of the heavenly family is as thin as paper.

After so many years in the imperial palace, he has already seen clearly the success or failure of favor and decline, but he doesn't know the retribution on his own body, and it is such a heartbreaking despair.

In the dream, she saw her father for the first time, and he still had the loving appearance when she was a child.

Suddenly there were footsteps approaching, and she heard a woman calling softly, Tang Wanruo was still in a nightmare and could not wake up, so the woman called Miss three times.

Miss?It's been a long time since someone called her like that. Once upon a time, she was also the worry-free and charming daughter of the Tang family, a boudoir of flowers and birds, who didn't ask about the king's affairs, but only knew how to play thrushes.

But since the year she entered the palace, others only dared to call her the empress and master, but only Abi remained the same and never changed her words.

Abi was Tang Wanruo's personal servant girl when she was in her mother's house. She has been serving her around since she was five years old, but she died in the palace three years ago.

When she opened her eyes, she saw carved gold wooden beams, fine gauze soft curtains, and a faint scent of smoke and radish. All these are unique to the harem, but they are definitely not the furnishings of the cold palace.

As if enlightened, Tang Wanruo only now remembered that it was Concubine Yi who came to Leng Palace to visit last night. During the days when she was imprisoned, Concubine Yi missed her old feelings and often came to visit her at the risk of violating palace rules.

But this time, what she brought was no longer dishes and clothes, but a secret edict and a glass of sweet wine.

The secret edict said that Tang Zhengqing was in the big prison of the clan's mansion, he didn't think about eating, his old illness broke out, and he died first, and Mrs. Tang should kill herself and go with her husband.

The Tang family died, and the scattered ones were all crushed into dust and smoke.

And in the rum, there is the most powerful poison in the world.

She caressed her eyes, but she couldn't shed a single tear. When all thoughts were lost, she had already ignored Concubine Yi's scheming at the moment, she just wanted to end it as soon as possible, and she didn't want to suffer from this torment.

Tang Wanruo's life has been smooth and smooth, and she has never suffered the slightest bit of pain, so she can't wait, and she can't bear it.

She drank not a single drop of that glass of poisoned wine, and she did the most decisive thing in the name of being gentle and elegant.

It's just that he never expected that it would be his own life.

But now how come he is out of the cold palace and lying in this warm and fragrant palace?Could it be that the glass was not poisoned wine, but another means of extorting a confession?
