Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 316
"Nian Nian, go back!" The emperor scolded, Chen Wenxin didn't dare to look again, took a step back, and returned to the pavilion.

Listening to the commotion outside, Chen Wenxin frowned. She thought about the small bone statue carefully, and couldn't help but feel a chill behind her.

Although the portraits carved in ancient times are usually more imagery, it is difficult to directly see the specific person, but that is the case with the small bone statue, at first glance it can only be seen that it is a woman.

But the trouble is also troublesome here, people are usually only willing to believe the facts in their own imagination, so if someone says that such an ambiguous thing is her, there are not a few people who believe it.

Fortunately, this time, the Zhungeer man took it out when he was provoking the emperor. If that kind of thing was thrown out elsewhere, it would be even more troublesome.

Chen Wenxin sat in the pavilion thinking about countermeasures. The cold ice in the past could only make her feel a biting chill. She couldn't help but hugged her arms tightly, curled up in a corner, and stared at the faint light leaking from the opposite bamboo curtain.

The sound outside did not know when it quieted down, the bamboo curtain was lifted, but the person who came in was not the emperor.

She looked at the guards in surprise, the guard was also taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head and said: "Concubine Qin, the emperor is going back to the imperial study first, so don't stay here, just go back to Yikun Palace."

Chen Wenxin frowned, she looked at the guards, this is not the guards in front of the imperial court, it seems to be the third-class guards outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they have always been respectful to her on weekdays, but at this moment these people's eyes unconsciously showed some contempt.

Sure enough, was there something wrong with the cork gift, or did they say something afterward?
Chen Wenxin lowered her head and ignored the half-hearted ridicule behind her, she felt a little regretful, if only she had listened carefully to what that person was saying just now.

She was walking very restlessly, when suddenly a person jumped out from the front and almost knocked her down, she looked back strangely, that person was running so fast, she couldn't see who it was at all.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a female voice scolding: "What are you doing running so fast, is there anyone chasing you behind!"

"Bai Lu? What are you doing here?" Chen Wenxin took a closer look. Isn't that person Bai Lu, his personal maid?

Bai Lu also stopped when she heard the sound, and when she saw that it was Chen Wenxin, she herself was startled, walked over quickly, and asked, "Master, why are you here? Didn't you say that you went to the Thousand Carp Pond with the Emperor?"

Thinking of what happened just now, Chen Wenxin became agitated again, she shook her head: "The emperor has some things to go back to the imperial study, but you are not guarding in Yikun Palace, why did you run out, who are you chasing?"

"Who else is there, isn't it that Li Dequan? Madam, you don't know, that old boy is pretending to be asleep, he wakes up as soon as you go out, and has been talking to us in the back hall," Bai Lu also showed a strange look Expression: "But I don't know what happened, he just ran away."

"Run away suddenly?" Chen Wenxin squinted his eyes, and asked carefully, "Did he suddenly remember something and run away, or did he run away suddenly as if he knew something?"

Hearing this, Bai Lu looked at Chen Wenxin in surprise, and replied: "A little eunuch came over and said something to him, and he ran away with a pale face. Madam, don't you know that he is still holding the newly-wrapped Yingluo by the slave in his hand?" Woolen cloth."

Chen Wenxin nodded knowingly, her brows never loosened, Bai Lu wanted to ask something, but she stretched out her hand to signal her not to speak: "Let's talk when we get back to the palace, be careful that the walls have ears."

Bai Lu understood, she didn't dare to delay, supported Chen Wenxin and went back to the palace.

Nothing could be seen in Yikun Palace, everyone obediently stayed in their positions because of the previous reprimand, so Chen Wenxin couldn't ask them anything.

She returned to the apse a little discouraged, and signaled Bai Lu to close the door.

The master and servant looked at each other in the room, and both sighed.Bai Lu went over to help Chen Wenxin rub her shoulders, looked at her expression suspiciously, and knew that something must have happened, but Chen Wenxin didn't want to say it yet.

In fact, Chen Wenxin didn't know where to start. She just knew that something must have happened, and she also knew that it must be related to herself, but she couldn't guess what it was about.

Maybe it wasn't that she couldn't guess, but she didn't dare to guess.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you? If there's anything bothering you, just let the slaves know. Holding it in like this is not the way to go." Bai Lu saw that Chen Wenxin's brows were so frowned that she could kill a fly, and she also Get worried.

This is just a story that I heard people tell for a long time, how did it come to this.

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I really don't know where to start. Bai Lu, if I fall out of favor in the future, is there anyone in this palace whom I can trust?" Chen Wenxin didn't know why, There is always such a hunch.

That cork is like a mold star. Since he came, nothing has gone well for her.Being misunderstood by the princess and the emperor, someone may seize this opportunity in the future to frame her, trying to drag her into the abyss, so that she will never be reborn forever.

"Master, what are you talking about? In this harem, Zeng Chang, Wei Chang, and Zhang Gui are all on your side." Bai Lu still heard Chen Wenxin in such a negative tone for the first time, she He couldn't help becoming anxious: "And there are slaves, slaves will not betray the empress."

Hearing this, Chen Wenxin stretched out his hand to touch her head, and sighed: "The concubines in the harem always have to protect themselves, Concubine Tong Gui was so beautiful in the past, once she lost power, she ended up in such a situation. She also has a huge mother's family to support her, and I..."

"You still have the second master!" Bai Lu said hastily. She didn't know why Chen Wenxin said such depressing words, so she could only find out: "The second master loves you the most, and the second master is going to marry soon. Miss Nalan's family, Nalan's family will also be our backing."

"Brother..." Chen Wenxin couldn't help squinting her eyes halfway. It wasn't that she was willing to say something frustrating. It's just that success and defeat are kings. This kind of king's favor is the most unreliable thing, whether it is a concubine in the harem or a courtier in the previous court.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you? You were fine when you went out, why did you become like this when you came back today?" Bai Lu stomped her feet anxiously, as if she suddenly remembered something, she asked in a low voice: "Ma'am, is it right?" What did you do to make the emperor angry?"

"Because it's not, I'm worried."

Chen Wenxin shook his head, focused on some things that happened in Qianli Pond, and finally he could only sigh: "It's me who took precautions, I never thought that the cork would be so courageous."

At first, Bai Lu thought that she and the emperor had some kind of embarrassment, and it was fine to just talk about it, but after hearing this, she realized that the matter was far from as simple as she imagined, and she also fell silent, standing aside, not knowing what to say.

If the emperor believed in the empress, this matter was nothing more than Zhungeer's subordinates, but this time the emperor was so angry that he left first. Could it be that the emperor knew something and began to distrust the empress?
Bai Lu was taken aback by her own thoughts, she finally understood what Chen Wenxin was worried about, if that was the case, it was indeed...

"Your Majesty..." A maid's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Chen Wenxin frowned, how could someone come over at this time.

She stretched out her hand and patted Bai Lu, signaling her to open the door, while she straightened her hair and clothes. No matter how she speculated, it was just her speculation. She couldn't panic before the matter was settled. People can't.

Bai Lu walked over quietly, coughed lightly, and didn't open the door, but asked directly, "Who is it?"

"...Sister Bailu, the maidservant is Xi'er. Sister Yingge said that the laundryman brought back the clothes that Madam asked for, and asked the servant to bring them to Madam." Xi'er's voice trembled a little.

These things are done by the palace people who can enter the house to serve. She is just a little maid who waits on the flowers and plants in the garden. Doing so is already beyond the rules. In addition to the rewards given to her by the empress earlier, she is afraid of doing it herself. It will make the empress misunderstand that she is deliberately asking for credit.

Hearing that there was no movement inside for a long time, she was frightened and said anxiously: "Sister Bailu, sister Yingge said she was not feeling well, and the rest of the sisters have gone out again, so I let the slaves come."

Hearing that voice, Bai Lu knew that she must have been frightened.

Normally, she would not be willing to embarrass such a little girl, but this time Chen Wenxin specially asked her to find out about this little girl, and now she may still need someone, so she coughed and pretended to be very displeased Pushed open the door.

Xi'er was standing outside, seeing Bai Lu's expression, she knew something was wrong.

She shrank her neck tremblingly, raised the tray in her hand high, and said in a trembling voice: "Since my sister has come out, please take your mother's clothes in. The slaves are rough servants outside and cannot enter the inner room." , servants dare not break the rules."

Bai Lu nodded with some satisfaction. This person understood the rules, but he was too timid. How could such a person be worthy of a high position.

Seeing that Bai Lu hadn't moved for a long time, Xi'er had no choice but to quietly raise her head to take a look at her appearance. She felt that she seemed unusually tall, and she couldn't see her expression no matter what, let alone whether she was angry or had some other purpose.

Originally, when Xi'er came to the palace, it was her stepmother who didn't like her wasting food at home by herself, so she asked someone to send her in, and then told the aunt that her monthly money was only five cents. , and the rest are divided between the two.

The palace maids are also from the Banner family, her family is just a coat of Zhenglan Banner, she is neither high nor low among the palace maids, but in this Yikun Palace, her status is the lowest.

She is still used to being bullied on weekdays, and she doesn't know how to fight back, she just endures it blindly.No one treats her well, only the empress will smile at her, give her rewards, and let her change clothes, so the last thing she wants is to be misunderstood by the empress.

Thinking of this, she bit her lip and suddenly knelt down.

"Sister Bailu, help me!"
