The peonies in Chengqian Palace bloom very early this year, and the big flowers are as gorgeous as brocade.Yesterday someone came to report that He Zhe, a nobleman of Zhao, had died in the cold palace. Naturally, the report was just a sudden death, and it is not known whether it was really a sudden death.

Xiao Luzi supported Wen Xi to walk around the flower bed, "Master Zhaogui often cursed the concubine Wang in the cold palace. Now that she is gone, she can be cleaner. The servant also found out that the fourteenth elder brother went to the cold palace yesterday."

"Oh?" Wen Xi puffed out her stomach and raised her eyebrows slightly. Elder Fourteen's temperament need not be better than mother's. He has always been competitive and young and impulsive. It would not be surprising if he did something.It's just that Wen Xi doesn't intend to care about this kind of thing. Although Zhaogui has never been revoked, since he has entered the cold palace, he is no different from a dead person.It wasn't a big deal that she died.

"This matter has already caused a lot of trouble!" Little Luzi interrupted, "Now everyone is saying that Brother Fourteen strangled Mr. Zhaogui to death, and the person in charge of transporting the body out of the palace also saw that Mr. Zhaogui had strangle marks on his neck! This matter has been spread with nose and eyes!"

"Then... where did it come from?" Wen Xi asked with a smile.

Xiao Luzi said: "The slave checked it out, it seems that it came from Jingren Palace."

Wen Xi squinted her eyes and let out a long sigh.Tong Jia's and Wang's are already old enemies, and it seems good to have a new enmity, but...Wen Xi fell to the ground with some doubts: "Lenggong is located in a remote place, and it is the same as Elder Brother's house and Xiefang Palace. They are all completely different from each other, how could the words of the abandoned man reach elder brother's ears?"

"Son, please greet Erniang!" Wen Xi was talking to himself, when he saw Yinlu bringing Yinli over to greet her.Wen Xi's two sons.The older one is twelve, and the younger one is nine years old.Yinlu seems to be growing very fast recently, and if he doesn't pay attention, he seems to be taller again.

Yinlu called Qian'er up to help Wenxi himself, "It's windy in the morning, why did Erniang come out?"

Wen Xi is wearing flat shoes now, and Yinlu is already at about the same altitude as her. "I smelled the fragrance of peonies early in the morning, so I wanted to come out and have a look. Flowers with dewdrops are the most beautiful." Wen Xi looked The two sons said doubtfully, "Today is not a holiday..."

Yinlu's phoenix eyes that looked like Kangxi's were narrowed slyly, looking extraordinarily narrow and charming, "Emperor Ama punished the fourteenth brother to kneel in the first hall today, so my son and younger brother took half a day off to accompany my mother."

Yinli's small face was full of excitement: "I made him proud all day, but now he is stumped!"

Wen Xi maintained the tone of the two brothers.Feeling something tricky, he went into the palace and dismissed the people who waited on the left and right, and said just now: "I just thought it was strange? Zhaogui cursed the Wang family in the cold palace, how did the fourteenth elder brother know?"

The tip of Yinludan's phoenix eyes raised awe-inspiringly, and said: "Of course the son told him to know! It's only thanks to the help of Mrs. Yipin that everyone knows about it."

"Really the fourteenth elder brother strangled Mr. Zhaogui to death?" Wen Xi still had great doubts about such rumors.

"Who knows?" Yin Lu said with a playful tone. "Anyway, Zhaogui died after he went to the Leng Palace. Maybe it was the fourteenth brother's impulsiveness. Or someone else deliberately set the blame on." Yinlu's tone is naturally more inclined to the latter, so the person who set the blame It must be the concubine Yi.

At this time, Xiaoluzi bowed outside the screen and reported: "Master, my concubine Wang, please see me."

"Her?" Wen Xi raised her eyebrows, "I don't want to see her." Concubine Wang has fallen out of favor, and all she can rely on is this son.Now I have to worry about Yinzhen.

"Er Niang may as well see you." Yinlu suddenly interjected with deep meaning, and then asked Xiao Luzi: "Grandpa Lu. Did the Queen Mother and Concubine come here by themselves, or..." Eunuch Lu, that is Xiaoluzi, His original name was Lu, but later Wen Xi casually called him Xiao Luzi. His real name was Lu Si, and he was the fourth among his brothers. Wen Xi changed his name to Lu Fushou.People call him "Eunuch Lu", and "Little Luzi" is Wen Xi's special title.

"Returning to the Sixteenth Master, the concubine Wang also brought Zhou Mao, the chief eunuch of the Jingsi Palace."

The Palace of Jingsi is the Lenggong, which means to meditate on one's own past, where all the concubines who have been abolished are imprisoned, and it is said that there are many old concubines who have gone crazy.Wen Xi has never seen what it looks like inside, so it must be a place completely opposite to the grandeur of the palace.

The mother and son looked at each other and understood, so they invited the concubine Wang into the palace.Although he was confined for half a year because of Zhaogui, after the half-year period expired, Concubine Wang seldom came out. Instead, she invited a Buddha statue to pray for the Empress Dowager, so she rarely appeared in the sight of the harem.

I haven't seen Wang Shi for a long time. Not only did she change her usual bright and bright clothes, but even her makeup was extremely low-key. It seems that she is no longer young, her skin is no longer fair and tender, and even the corners of her eyes have unnoticeable wrinkles.

"My concubine pays her respects to the imperial concubine!" Wang entered the palace and knelt down, saying: "Concubine is taking the liberty of disturbing the imperial concubine's pregnancy, please forgive me!"

Wen Xi had already broken up with him, so naturally there was no need to be too gentle, so she said with a cold face: "Concubine Wang is guilty, but the most important thing is not to teach her son well!"

The harsh words came out of Wen Xi's mouth, and there was no displeasure on Wang's face, but she became more submissive: "This concubine is here for this! Fourteenth brother is indeed young and impulsive, but he will never do anything Killing a concubine is such a heinous thing!"

Wen Xi snorted slightly, "I have never been to Lenggong, but I also know that Brother Fourteen has gone, and after he went, Zhaogui died, and he was strangled to death!"

"Imperial concubine, the fourteenth elder brother did go to the Jingsi Palace, but after the fourteenth elder brother left, someone else sneaked in! The eunuch Zhou Mao, the leader of the Jingsi Palace, can testify!" Concubine Wang hurriedly looked at The eunuch kneeling fifty minutes behind him.

Zhou Mao quickly kowtowed and said, "Yes! The servant saw with his own eyes that the fourteenth brother did have a dispute with Zhaogui, and he left after arguing! But Zhaogui was still alive when the fourteenth brother left, and later Jingren Palace Eunuch Xiao Ningzi flowed into the side hall of Jingsi Palace from the corner gate, where Mr. Zhaogui lived, and came out within a quarter of an hour! Later, the eunuch who delivered the meal at night found that Mr. Zhaogui had died in the side hall!"

Wen Xi yawned when she heard this, and it seemed that the arrow was pointing at Concubine Yi again, but the two of them bit the dog's hair, Wen Xi was really not interested in trying to persuade the fight, let them bite.

Just as he was about to dismiss Concubine Wang casually, he heard a report from outside that Concubine Yi brought her eunuch Xiao Ningzi to see him!Wen Xi secretly sighed, but Concubine Yi's reaction was extremely fast!Now that this scene is about to start, how can Wen Xi not cooperate?Then he called the concubine Yi to come in.

Concubine Yi's footsteps were in a hurry, and she only did a blessing when she came in: "All blessings, imperial concubine!"

Yin Lu and Yin Li who were beside Wen Xi both performed the usual salutes, and said in unison: "I send my respects to my concubine Yi!"

A hint of hatred flashed in the eyes of Concubine Wang, who was still kneeling beside him. Elder Brother should indeed be respectful when he saw Concubine Master, but when Concubine Wang came in just now, Elder Sixteen and Elder Seventeen seemed not to have seen it. of!Now that concubine Yi came in, she was very polite!The same concubine, the treatment is completely different, Wang concubine naturally hates Yi concubine even more deeply.

Wen Xi smiled slightly, these two children are really stuffed with black sesame seeds!Naturally, Yinlu was a little darker, Wen Xi clearly saw that when Concubine Yi came in, Yinlu took a look at his younger brother and saluted together.

Seeing this, Concubine Yi immediately smiled very politely and said, "The two elder brothers are really filial, and they are here to accompany the imperial concubine! I am really envious of seeing this!" As she spoke, she gave Wang Concubine a condescending look, "When will you be called? Elder Fourteen follow suit, and be more sensible!"

Wang Concubine gritted her teeth and glared at Yi Concubine angrily. If her eyes were knives, Yi Concubine would have been poked into a sieve.

Wen Xi sat high on the chair, lazily and idle, as if watching a play, "Concubine Wang, get up, you have knelt down to the Buddha for a long time, how come you can't get up on your knees when you get to Chengqian Palace in my palace? "

Concubine Wang had a look of embarrassment on her face, she hurriedly got up, the imperial concubine had never asked her to excuse her, how could she dare to get up?Standing up now, I can look at Concubine Yi as an equal.

Concubine Yi looked at Concubine Wang with disdain, and said, "Concubine Wang, didn't you worship the Buddha behind closed doors? Why did you come out?" Concubine Yi emphasized the word "Concubine Wang", her voice was sharp and harsh.

The anger in Wang Concubine's eyebrows and eyes flashed, and she said seriously: "Someone is going to frame the fourteenth elder brother, naturally the concubine can't just sit idly by!" Then she said to Zhou Mao: "Eunuch Zhou, look, what happened yesterday? After Elder Brother left the Jingsi Palace at night, did he sneak in again?"

Kneeling behind Concubine Yi was a skinny little eunuch, who looked very ordinary, but his face was pale, and he seemed to be weak. He was wearing the blue thin silk clothes of a second-class eunuch, and he was kneeling obediently, without saying a word. .

Zhou Mao turned around and carefully measured the little eunuch, and hurriedly said, "That's right, it's him!"

Concubine Yi suddenly sneered and said, "Zhou Mao, you have to see clearly, he really went to Jingsi Palace?!"

Zhou Mao nodded quickly, and said: "It's him, this servant can't be wrong! This servant has recognized Xiao Ningzi from Jingren Palace before! I can't be wrong!"

As soon as these words came out, the sneer on Concubine Yi's face intensified, with a hint of sarcasm.

Hearing the words, Wang Concubine showed a smug smile, but knelt down with a puff, tears filled her eyes immediately, and said in a mournful voice: "Imperial Concubine, the grievances of the fourteenth elder brother can be cleared up in this way! Please also invite the Imperial Concubine Make the decision for Brother Fourteen!"

Wen Xi couldn't help sighing at Wang's acting skills. The tears came down as soon as they were said, like the weather in summer. The sun was still shining brightly at the moment, but in an instant, there were dark clouds and heavy rain.

"Your Majesty! The Fourteenth Brother is only 13 years old. He has always been good-natured. How could he strangle the concubine to death?! Now it seems that someone deliberately framed the Fourteenth Brother! This person is so vicious. Elder Brother Fourteen!" Concubine Wang cried and wiped away her tears, looking very sad, pointing at Concubine Yi every sentence. (To be continued.
