Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 343
"Mistress, be careful!" Xi'er shouted, standing behind Chen Wenxin.

The old woman acted as if she hadn't seen her, she was about to grab Chen Wenxin's face with her hand, but Chen Wenxin lowered her head subconsciously, trying to avoid it.

But the old woman's movements were too fast, as soon as she grabbed Chen Wenxin's hair, she was about to drag her back.

Xi'er was caught in the middle, trying to push the woman away, but her strength was too weak, so she could only shout loudly while exerting force, hoping to attract the guards outside.

It's just that Leng Palace has always been laxly guarded, and now everyone is fighting the fire in Chengqian Palace, no one cares about it at all.

Just when the two were in despair, suddenly a person threw something golden. When the woman saw the thing, her eyes widened, and she rushed towards it. Chen Wenxin took a look, and found that Mr. Zeng sat up.

"Hit her neck!" Zeng Guiren shouted anxiously in a hoarse voice.

Xi'er reacted immediately, grabbed the dead wood on the ground, and slammed the woman on the back of the neck. The woman let out a strange cry, and finally passed out.

Zeng Guiren supported the bench and sat up. She saw the white cloth covering her body and smiled a little sadly. She raised her eyes and looked at Chen Wenxin, full of guilt: "Madam, I'm sorry, I am such a wolf-hearted person, I have let you down. Empress, cough cough."

Before she finished speaking, Zeng Guiren began to cough violently. Chen Wenxin hurried over and patted her on the back, her tentacles were hot. She looked at Zeng Guiren by the weak light of the lantern, and saw her cheeks were flushed. , pale lips.

Chen Wenxin said worriedly: "You have a fever, how could this happen, please lie down and rest for a while."

"I'm useless, ma'am... ma'am, I'm sorry," Zeng Guiren grabbed Chen Wenxin's sleeves with both hands, tears rolled out and hit her skirt, she panted Roughly, as if he was exhausting his life, he said: "Mother, all this is Concubine Hui, she is going to frame you, Mother, and she wants to kill me, so, that's why she was burned to death."

"Talk slowly, don't be in a hurry." Chen Wenxin was not surprised when she heard the word Concubine Hui, she just felt cold in her heart, she didn't expect that someone would harm her like this if she didn't harm others.

"No, ma'am, let me tell you that I was taken into the cold palace in the afternoon. Two hours later, someone came, came to my residence and set this fire. They wanted to burn me to death, ma'am, look..." Zeng Guiren As he spoke, he opened his sleeves, only to see that there were already large areas of burns on them.

Even looking at it like this, Chen Wenxin felt terrified. She couldn't imagine what kind of pain it was this time.

Zeng Guiren leaned on Chen Wenxin, and she said forcefully: "I, I heard them say that after killing me, they will deal with you. They poisoned you, and Concubine Hui asked me to slander you, empress, I... I...cough cough cough..."

"Stop talking, rest first, I'll find the imperial physician right away." Chen Wenxin saw that she seemed to be coughing up her internal organs, and her heart softened.

Zeng Guiren didn't have much strength at first, she just felt that her body was light and light, as if she had just floated up to the roof and into the sky.

She looked down at herself, at Chen Wenxin, at the huge Forbidden City, and suddenly didn't understand why she wanted to do this.I don't know what I'm after.

She only felt cold, and her whole body seemed to turn dark suddenly, and she also fell into the endless darkness.

Chen Wenxin looked at Zeng Guiren who was lying on the bench almost out of breath, she gritted her teeth, carried Zeng Guiren on her back, turned her head and said to Xi'er, "Let's go back."

"Your Majesty, what are you doing! You can't take people back!" Seeing that Chen Wenxin was about to go out with Mr. Zeng Gui on his back, Xi'er became anxious. It would be dawn soon, and she would go back to Yikun with such a person on her back. The palace will definitely be discovered.

"But I can't just let her die like this. We have already been taken a step ahead. If she dies, I won't be able to tell." Chen Wenxin said calmly. She pulled out a hand and put the cloak on Zeng Guiren. body.

Xi'er is still persuading, but she has already made up her mind.This time, the fire in Chengqian Palace was really strange. She originally thought that someone wanted to use the fire in Chengqian Palace as a cover to do something in Lenggong, so she hurried over.

I don't think it's still a step too late. Those people probably went to Chengqian Palace immediately after setting fire here. Once the fire started over there, no one would care about it here.

If Mr. Zeng was left here like this, he would have died of a high fever due to the festering burns on his body if he hadn't been frozen to death.

No matter how she died, as long as she died, there would be no proof of her adultery.Zeng Guiren has already said that it was Concubine Hui who instigated her behind her back, and now that Concubine Hui is the person who presides over the affair, she will definitely not try it fairly.

Even if she knew that Concubine Hui had ghosts in her heart, the emperor would not believe her words since noble Zeng died and there would be no witnesses for her words.

Therefore, Master Zeng cannot die, no matter how you look at it.

Seeing that she was so determined, Xi'er had no choice but to grit her teeth, and covered the old woman with a white cloth on the ground, pretending that she was Mrs. Zeng.

Then she helped Chen Wenxin carry Zeng Guiren out, and then closed the old wooden door.

At this moment, the sky was already turning pale. In order not to let people notice them, Xi'er and Chen Wenxin placed Zeng Guiren between them, disguised her as a court lady with a stomachache, walked around a lot, and then slipped quietly through the side door. Entered Yikun Palace.

Unexpectedly, the Yikun Palace was surprisingly quiet, Chen Wenxin and Xi'er exchanged glances, and they carried Master Zeng into the corner room where Xi'er used to live.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the house first, and this servant will call Imperial Physician Yang to show Zeng Guiren." Xi'er was also very tired, and she was panting heavily when speaking.

Chen Wenxin was even more serious. She had just recovered from a serious illness, and the most tiring thing she had ever done was riding a horse. Carrying a one-hundred-jin person for two hours was really too much for her.

Glancing at Zeng Guiren who was unconscious, Chen Wenxin shook his head.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, tried to calm her breathing, straightened her clothes, and pushed open the door of the corner room.

It was already bright now, and the cold light shone on the backyard without any plants, making it look a bit depressed.She looked at it strangely, the gate of the small courtyard where the maid lived was also closed, and there was no one outside, not even the guard at the back door.

Chen Wen felt a little uneasy, she quickened her pace and walked towards her bedroom.

Before she got close, she saw from the door that the yard in front of her bedroom was full of people kneeling!
Her heart skipped a beat, she bent her body and quietly approached her yard, leaning against the yard wall, she heard the sound of broken vessels coming from inside, and then the emperor said with anger: "Say it! Concubine Qin Where did you go! Let such a slave pretend to be her!"

When Chen Wenxin heard the emperor's words, his heart became completely cold.

Why did the emperor come over suddenly, why did he choose this time?
Before the emperor finished speaking, he only heard a charming voice, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't get angry, Sister Qin may have thought of something and went out to deal with it. When Sister Qin comes back, you can ask her to find out. .”

Although she deliberately pretended to be gentle and charming, Chen Wenxin could still hear that it was Concubine Hui's voice.

She remembered what Mr. Zeng said, and couldn't help showing a mocking expression.

This person came really fast, I'm afraid this matter can't be a coincidence.

There was not much movement inside, probably because the emperor calmed down after hearing Concubine Hui's words.Chen Wenxin was thinking about when to go in, when suddenly a person patted her on the back, and she was terrified.

The person behind her slapped her head hard, and when she turned her head, it turned out to be Doctor Bai.

Seeing what she was going to ask, Doctor Bai shook his head first, then pointed behind him, motioning for Chen Wenxin to follow him, Chen Wenxin nodded, and followed Doctor Bai with a stoop.

Dr. Bai took her to a firewood room next to the maid's residence. The inside had been cleaned up and it was prepared for Imperial Physician Yang so that he could take care of Xi'er all the time.

After closing the door, Doctor Bai let out a long breath, and said very dissatisfied: "Who are those people in your room? The old man was just about to bring you medicine, and she saw all those little girls Calling you to kneel in the courtyard is really a good posture, the old man thought your place was copied."

"I don't know either. I just went out to save someone, and it became like this when I came back." Chen Wenxin spread her hands seriously, expressing that she didn't know anything.

Doctor Bai nodded first, then suddenly raised his head and stared at her: "What? Save someone? Who did you go out to save? How many times have I told you that you should have a good rest! Don't be angry, don't be tired! You Did you take the old man's words as wind on your ears!"

Seeing that Doctor Bai was about to lose his temper, Chen Wenxin quickly raised his hands, made an innocent expression, and said pitifully, "I'm afraid that someone will stab me without my knowledge, so I went to A trip to the cold palace..."

"..." Doctor Bai looked at her in disbelief.

Chen Wenxin hurriedly smiled and pulled his sleeves and shook them, like a granddaughter acting like a baby to her grandfather, and said in a coquettish voice: "I really just went to Lenggong to see, how did I know that someone actually wanted to kill Master Zeng? If the nobleman is dead, isn’t the matter of adultery just what other people say, so I will carry him back.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Doctor Bai shook her arm violently, shook her hand away, then slapped her hard on the head, and cursed: "At this juncture, you go to the cold palace to steal people out, don't you?" I want to die! The person inside said it all, you sent someone to set fire to the cold palace!"

Chen Wenxin blinked, and looked at Doctor Bai even more pitifully.

Doctor Bai couldn't bear to be angry when he saw her like this, he gave Chen Wenxin a helpless look, pointed to a chair and said, "It's no use pretending to be pitiful, now you sit here for the old man."

Seeing this, Chen Wenxin hurried over and sat down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down, she felt a heart-piercing pain in her buttocks. She couldn't hold back, and yelled out with a loud voice.
