Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 332 Suicide in fear of sin
"What is this? There is a secret passage in our palace?" Yingge originally went to help Bailu, but when she saw the secret passage, she forgot what she was going to do and walked straight over, watching carefully.

Chen Wenxin didn't speak. When she saw the secret passage, her heart sank.

Although I don't know where this place leads to, there is a secret passage here, and Xi'er disappeared for no reason, the appearance of a secret passage in such a traitor probably means that Xi'er discovered something and was taken down here Yes, maybe already...

Chen Wenxin held down her beating heart, she shook her head, now is not the time to think about these things.

"Go out and have someone guard you outside. Don't let anyone in. I'll go down and have a look." Chen Wenxin looked at the only people in the room, and now the guards were all guarding outside and didn't come in.

So only their own people should know here, and the next step is to be optimistic about that little Xia Zi, so that he can't move freely.In this way, all the traitors in the palace should have been controlled... As long as they don't know that this secret passage has been discovered, it should be possible to use it here.

It's just that I don't know if there are still people inside who have not been caught. All in all, the current situation is very unfavorable to those insiders. If there are still fish that slip through the net, they will definitely find a way to act or contact them outside.

If you want to seize this opportunity, you may be able to follow the clues to find the person behind the scenes.

Chen Wenxin thought, and narrowed her eyes slightly. She looked at the secret passage without a ray of light, settled down, and comforted herself: There is nothing to be afraid of. I have already encountered such things as time travel. The worst thing is that I might die once. I can still go home.

Thinking of this, she took a few deep breaths, reached for a candlestick, and lifted her skirt to go down.Bai Lu stopped her, and she reached out to take the candlestick in her hand: "Your Majesty, I will accompany you down."

Chen Wenxin looked at Bai Lu, seeing her resolute expression, she also nodded: "Okay."

Instructing Yingge to take care of the top, they went down with the candlesticks in their hands. There was a mildewy smell inside. Chen Wenxin covered her nose, feeling a little stuffy in her heart.

Bai Lu carefully supported her, and went down the stairs. Unexpectedly, the seemingly deep stairs actually only had nine steps, and soon reached the bottom. It was a room the size of a small kitchen. A faint smell of blood.

The two continued to walk in, and found that a small hole of half a meter had been opened in the ceiling at the farthest corner, and it was covered with a wooden board. They tried to find something to break the wooden board, but the wooden board seemed to be covered by a wooden board. Something was holding them down and they couldn't open it.

They searched around the house, but there was nothing inside, Chen Wenxin sighed: "Maybe they have transported the person away from here."

Bai Lu knew she was talking about Xi'er, so she nodded. In fact, when she saw this secret passage, she was already prepared in her heart, so she understood, and sighed, she said: "Your Majesty, you'd better go up, It's really boring in here."

"Okay." Chen Wenxin nodded. She held up a candle, looked around, and said, "Find someone you can trust to guard the house. Don't allow anyone to come in."

Just as they were talking, the two suddenly heard a rustling sound above their heads, as if someone had come in.

Chen Wenxin stopped in her tracks, and looked at Bai Lu, both of them fell silent, listening carefully to the movement above, only heard a few people from above coming in, it seemed that the above was also a room.

Chen Wenxin thought about it, but he didn't know the direction and what was on it, so he glanced at Bai Lu. Bai Lu thought about it, but couldn't think of what was on it, so he could only shake his head.

At this time, there was another movement above. It was two men talking. They didn't know that their feet were empty, so they didn't have any scruples when they spoke.

"Brother Jiu, you said that Zeng Guiren really has no conscience. In the Royal Garden today, I heard Zhang Guiren tell her that she wanted to deliver something to that one. She scolded Zhang Guiren for a long time. I feel chilled." The person who spoke seemed to be a guard.

Another guard sneered: "What do you know, Mr. Zeng was afraid that his old master would hurt him, but it's strange to say that the concubine Qin was still very beautiful two days ago, even if she was grounded, she still has the agent Liugong Why does Mr. Zeng dislike her so much?"

"You don't know that. I heard from the brother who was serving that Zhungeer said that he was going to marry Concubine Qin. The emperor got angry, so he angered her. If you say that Concubine Qin is also pitiful, there is nothing. If you do it, you will be so wronged."

"Concubine Qin didn't do anything on the surface, who knows what she did behind the scenes, otherwise a foreign minister of Zhungeer would know that she is a concubine in the harem?" The guard said and yawned: "Forget it, Anyway, this is beyond your control, so let's sleep for a while, because you and I are on duty at night."

Then there was no sound from the people above, presumably they were resting.

When Bai Lu heard what that person said, she was very angry. Chen Wenxin persuaded her a few words, pulled her up, and arranged for someone to guard the room. She then went to Qingwen's room to check. The only secret way was Xiaoxiazi's room. have.

After a busy morning, she just felt a little overwhelmed, so she went back to the house to rest. Bai Lu led the people to check other people's houses carefully, and there was indeed nothing wrong.

After repaying, he served Chen Wenxin to drink the medicine.

Unexpectedly, it was only after noon, and the guards were very anxious to see him outside: "Report to Madam, that little Xia Zi committed suicide by biting his tongue!"

"What!" Chen Wenxin said, pulling herself up, she couldn't get up, but spit out a mouthful of blood, and passed out.

Bai Lu anxiously supported Chen Wenxin, and was about to ask someone to carry her back to the bed, but suddenly heard a commotion outside the window, a bright yellow figure rushed in, and grabbed Chen Wenxin.

Bai Lu took a closer look and realized it was the emperor.

Her eyes were red, and tears fell down like broken threads. The emperor hurriedly hugged Chen Wenxin back to the couch, and scolded: "The imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you still have to invite the imperial physician!" Bai Lu knelt on the ground and cried, "There are people blocking us outside. We sent someone to invite the imperial physician a long time ago, but no one came. The princess told me before." , People who are blocked from going out are not allowed to send in anything.”

"There is such a thing! Who did it!" The emperor was already furious, and he was trembling with anger.

The little eunuchs and maids watching the bustle outside knew that they were disrespectful to Concubine Qin before, and seeing that the emperor still cared so much about Concubine Qin, they knew that the rumors of falling out of favor were false. Dare not make a sound.

Seeing such a situation, Yingge sneered: "What are you kneeling for? Didn't you hear what the emperor said? Why don't you go and ask the imperial physician!"

"Yes, yes, the slave is going!"

A few of the smarter ones scrambled away and left, while the rest lowered their heads, and their clothes were drenched in cold sweat.

The emperor issued an order, and as expected, no one outside dared to stop him. In less than a cup of tea, three or four imperial physicians rushed over with medicine boxes and knelt at the door of the Nuan Pavilion to plead guilty.

"Hmph, what's your crime? You've done a poor job! Concubine Qin has been ill for several days, and no one has reported to me! Do you think that Concubine Qin is not your master anymore if she grounds her feet! Say!" the emperor said. Already furious.

Before the imperial physician came, Bai Lu said that only a young imperial physician surnamed Yang from the imperial hospital came here at the risk, and only the princess and Wei Changzai brought things.

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't even bring over the items for the division. If it wasn't for Prince Gong's daughter, Chen Wenxin would have been frozen to death in the palace two days earlier.

Those who came were the judge and several assistants from the Tai Hospital. They knelt on the ground, their intestines were green with regret.

All this is the fault of that noble lady Zeng, she told people to tell them not to be concerned about Yikun Palace, saying that the emperor doesn't want to see Concubine Qin because of Zhungeer's matter, that is the emperor's new favorite, they naturally believed it to be true.

Originally, I thought it would be colder, but at worst it would be a cold. There must be precious medicinal materials given by others in Qinfei Palace. As long as I boil a bowl of soup with wild ginseng and drink it, the wind and cold will definitely heal.

Who knew someone would poison Concubine Qin!
Judge Liu looked at the situation and knew that he could no longer keep the Wushamao, so he couldn't help feeling sad, so he started to cry.

Hearing the crying outside, the emperor felt that he was bored and was so angry that he picked up something from one side and threw it on the ground, immediately a stench spread out.

Looking down, he saw that it was porcelain wrapped in cloth. The porcelain was broken, and black pus flowed out of it. The emperor was shocked and pointed at it and asked, "What is this!"

Bai Lu quickly asked someone to take away the things, and then said what the princess said, cutting out some things about the concubine.

The emperor just looked at the pool of black stains on the ground with cold eyes, his eyes were as cold as the icicles of water droplets under the eaves. After such a commotion, Chen Wenxin faintly woke up. She looked at the people standing beside her and blinked her eyes, strangely Open the mouth: "Is this a dream?"

Hearing this, the emperor was slightly taken aback, and then his heart ached softly, as if someone had been pricked with a thousand thin needles.He bent down, hugged Chen Wenxin's waist, helped him up and said, "Nian Nian, it's not a dream, it's me, Xuan Ye is here."

Listening to that gentle tone, Chen Wenxin only felt pain in her eye sockets, tears fell down like broken beads, she quickly reached out to wipe away the tears, and turned her head to prevent the emperor from seeing her pain.

Seeing that she was still so unwilling to embarrass him even though she was ill, the emperor felt anxious and angry, and even more distressed. He sat beside Chen Wenxin's soft couch, grabbed her hand, and said firmly: "Nian Nian , I'm here, don't be afraid."
