Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 194 Second Capture of the Phoenix Seal
At this moment, she couldn't reprimand the second elder brother for telling him to shut up, it would only make her feel more guilty.

The concubine in the seat has heard all the rumors circulating in the garden recently, the rumors are telling, and there is evidence that Concubine Tong used money to bribe the guards.

Obviously this is not groundless, but the evidence is solid.

When everyone heard the second elder brother say it, they couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Some of them like Chen Wenxin, like Zhang Changzai.Some people hate Chen Wenxin, such as Yipin.

But there is no doubt that everyone has no good intentions towards Concubine Tong.

Even Yu Changzai, who has just worked with Concubine Tong, is happy to see Concubine Tong fall from the horse.

All the powerful concubines in the palace are her enemies.

In terms of petting, Chen Wenxin ranked first, so she attacked Chen Wenxin first.

In terms of status, Concubine Tong ranks first, and she will get rid of Concubine Tong sooner or later.

And Yibi is the most arrogant and domineering, so she had to take the opportunity to harm her early.

As soon as the second elder brother said this, all the concubines were silent, with a smile on their faces watching the excitement.

The emperor asked knowingly, "Oh? Isn't Concubine Qin recovering from her illness in Nianxin Garden? I heard that she is in better health. Didn't the imperial concubine ask her to come and pay my respects?"

Everyone suddenly realized that it was Concubine Tong herself who asked Chen Wenxin to pay her respects, and specially designed to slander her for being disrespectful.

Concubine Tong Gui is really vicious, even if she is really disrespectful, she can't let a high-ranking concubine kneel in the rain for an hour.

Let alone a patient.

Everyone looked at Concubine Tong with disgust, they didn't expect her methods to be so overbearing, even disregarding her face.

The second elder brother pouted, "Didn't Tong Eniang ask her to come to greet Huang Ama, Tong Eniang asked her to kneel in the rain as a punishment."

Concubine Tong is nominally the adoptive mother of the second elder brother, but the second elder brother calls her the same as other concubines, not E Niang.

He is still here to feel wronged for Chen Wen, pointing directly at Concubine Tong's fault in words.

When everyone looked at Concubine Tong, they couldn't help but feel more pity.

It's a pity that she spent half her life in the palace, and she didn't give birth to half an elder brother, not even a princess.

The only adopted son, the second elder brother, also treated her very distantly, and even blamed her for other concubines.

Concubine Tong Gui couldn't bear it anymore, she scolded the second elder brother and said: "What do you know at a young age, don't be presumptuous in front of the emperor."

The second elder brother was deeply favored by the emperor, and he always said something in front of the emperor and never hesitated.

The emperor was not angry with him, and would listen to his words carefully every time.

This is the exclusive privilege of the second elder brother. The other elder brothers tacitly think that they dare not speak much in front of the emperor.

Recently, the fourth elder brother and the second elder brother were playing together, and the temper of the second elder brother was somewhat infected, and he dared to speak in front of the emperor.

In the past, when the second elder brother spoke like this in front of the emperor, Concubine Tong would be complacent, thinking that her adopted son was more noble than the other elder brother.

The mother is more expensive than the child, and the second elder brother is noble, so naturally she is also noble.

Today when the second elder brother told the truth to her, she became annoyed and accused the second elder brother of being presumptuous.

Yipin said sourly: "Why does the imperial concubine have to criticize the second elder brother so severely? The second elder brother must not be presumptuous in front of the emperor and has been presumptuous many times. How come the imperial concubine only knows today?"

The second elder brother's status in the emperor's mind is definitely not comparable to that of Concubine Tong Gui.

Concubine Yi is concerned about the second elder brother on the surface, but in fact she is blaming Concubine Tong Gui, the emperor will never blame her.

Concubine Tong couldn't hold back, and was about to refute, when the emperor asked: "Concubine, is what the second elder brother said true?"

She frowned slightly, thinking that the hand was moved in a secluded and dark place that night, maybe the emperor wouldn't know?
But the eunuchs said that General Wuji Chen Wenyi came to take the man away, and he walked frequently in front of the emperor, so he must have told the emperor about it.

If she categorically denies it, there is no guarantee that she will not be caught.

Concubine Tong Gui said: "The concubine heard that Concubine Qin's health has improved a lot, and thought that Nianxin Garden is so close to Tsinghua Garden. Asking her to come and say hello to the emperor will just relieve Concubine Qin's pain of lovesickness."

"Unexpectedly, when I met her on the road, she was rude to me and refused to salute. I had no choice but to punish her according to the palace rules and make her kneel for an hour."

"It wasn't raining at the time, and the concubine didn't know why Concubine Qin didn't kneel down on the porch when it rained."

She left herself clean in a few words, saying that she had good intentions in calling Chen Wenxin to pay her respects, and also saying that it hadn't rained at that time.

At this time, I saw a round bottle rolling out from the fourth elder brother's place, rolling straight to the middle of the ground.

The fourth elder brother let out a cry, cupped his hands and said to the emperor: "Huang Ama, my son's things accidentally fell out of his sleeve pocket."

The emperor nodded, "Bring it to me to see."

The small round bottle was sealed with red brocade, which looked like a medicine bottle.

The fourth elder brother stood up from his seat, picked up the round bottle from the seat, and showed it to the emperor.

"What is this?"

The emperor asked the fourth elder brother, while uncovering the sealed red brocade, he sniffed it.

That's trauma medicine.

The fourth elder brother replied: "Huang Ama, the two aunts Bailu and Baishuang next to Chen Erniang were kicked and injured by a eunuch named Xiaosuozi. Aunt Cuiyun and Aunt Bailu who are beside Erniang are good friends. He said he would take this wound medicine and give it to them."

"Aunt Cuiyun said it was a medicine from the palace, and Nianxin Garden didn't have such a rare medicine. I just took this wound medicine for fun and forgot it in my sleeve pocket."

A court lady standing behind De Concubine hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Return to the emperor, it is indeed a wound medicine for slaves. Just now I was busy preparing for De Concubine's empress to go to the banquet, so I forgot and let the fourth elder brother take it for fun." gone."

Concubine Tong's eyelids twitched when she heard the word "Xiao Suozi".

Zhang Changzai said loudly: "No way? Who is this little Suozi? Bai Lu is the aunt in charge of Yikun Palace. Even concubines have to call her aunt when they see her. Who dares to kick her?"

The emperor said: "Why didn't anyone come to inform me about the following offenses? Concubine, don't you know?"

Concubine Tong Gui's complexion was particularly ugly, and the heavy makeup on her face seemed to be particularly ferocious because of the distortion of her face.

Ding Chang said with a smile: "I know. The concubine and the imperial concubine live together in Liufangtang. Isn't this little lock the eunuch of Liufangtang?"

When she said this, she blatantly showed that Xiao Suozi belonged to Concubine Tong.

If Concubine Tong Gui is really as innocent as she said, why let the eunuchs under her command be cruel to Bai Lu Baishuang and the others?

One must know that a grand maid who serves concubines and masters in the palace has face.

Even concubines and concubines are not allowed to beat and scold at will, how can a little eunuch with no name and surname be kicked at will?
The emperor snorted coldly, "Concubine, is this the palace servant under your supervision?"

Concubine Tong hurriedly got up from her seat, Fushen said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this little lock is a palace servant in Tsinghua Garden, and I have only seen you for a few days."

As soon as she blurted out the words, she immediately regretted it.

Saying that Xiao Suozi is the eunuch of Tsinghua Garden, of course, she can be exonerated from the charge of lax discipline of palace officials.

But the eunuchs in Tsinghua Garden are lower in status than the eunuchs in the palace. He kicked Bai Lu and the others, and he committed even more crimes...

And Xiao Suozi is the person she instigates, the emperor will only think that she condones the trend of offenders.

Yuchang watched the emperor's words and deeds coldly, and saw that he didn't seem to care about the fainting of the concubine Qin, but cared more about the crime of kicking and beating the maid in charge of the young eunuch.

She was relieved, it seemed that the emperor's love for Concubine Qin was not that deep.

In this case, she can let go and deal with Concubine Tong.

Yu Changzai said: "Your Majesty, these two aunts in charge are really pitiful. If the concubine is kicked on the body by the lowly eunuch, she will cry to death."

The emperor smiled reluctantly at her, "What Aifei said is true."

He glanced at Concubine Tong with displeasure, "Concubine Concubine Tong connives at the lowly eunuchs, I am really disappointed. From now on, I will leave the affairs of the garden to Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui will reflect on herself."

What the emperor meant was that the power to manage the harem should be handed over to Concubine Hui.

Wouldn't she also give her phoenix seal to Concubine Hui...

Concubine Tong showed an inconceivable expression, she never expected that the emperor did not attack her for Chen Wenxin's matter.

But because of the affairs of the two maids, she wanted to seize her right to manage the harem.

Since the last time she was accepted as the Phoenix seal, she has not been as handy as before when handling affairs in the harem.

In the past, she said that she was right, and no one dared to refute and prevaricate.

But after her phoenix seal was taken away, the emperor seemed to tell everyone that her Concubine Tong's power was not permanent.

Coupled with the fact that Concubine Hui and Concubine Qin are the two assistants in the harem, her majesty has been further reduced.

After finally leaving a concubine, the emperor actually took away her phoenix seal again...

Even if the emperor handed over the phoenix seal to her in the future, I'm afraid her authority will be worse than it is now.

Concubine Hui walked out of her seat and saluted the emperor: "The concubine will obey the emperor's imperial edict."

The emperor nodded and continued: "Reward some good medicinal materials to the Nianxin Garden to appease the concubine Qin and the two maids. The bold eunuch who committed the crime below will be killed with a stick."

The emperor didn't care about speaking directly in front of his concubines.

The word stick death hit Concubine Tong Gui's heart, causing a huge wave.

The emperor's harsh punishment was clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with her...

She lost, she lost again.

Obviously made Chen Wenxin so embarrassed, but she still lost.

Chen Wenxin was only ill, but she lost her phoenix seal, power, and majesty.

It's all Chen Wenxin's fault, it's all her fault.

Concubine Tong almost gritted her silver teeth, she must let Chen Wenxin, there is no room for turning around...

Seeing Concubine Tong's ashen face, De Concubine glanced at the fourth elder brother lightly, with approval for him for the first time in her eyes.

The second elder brother and the fourth elder brother looked at each other and smiled, their eyes were full of little cunning.

They won!
