Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

The technique of nightmare town is hated by people, and the emperors of all dynasties have severely cracked down on it, but it is still used by people to seize power and fight for favor. In the world of the royal harem, it seems to be a law to use the power of ghosts to persecute others.

Since Xuan Ye established the harem, there has never been such a posture of "three trials" today. Under the emperor, headed by the imperial concubine, the concubines, big and small, gathered together. It was the first time that the Chuxiu Palace was so lively. Kneeling on the ground, outside the main hall were the court ladies and eunuchs of Chuxiu Palace, Xuan Ye sat at the head, and the imperial concubine and the concubines sat in turn. The atmosphere in the hall was heavy, and the imperial concubine was even more livid.

Concubine Tong was terrified, and she had already cried into tears. She did not hesitate to die to prove her innocence, but these dirty things were indeed found in Chuxiu Palace.They are still young, and their playfulness has not restrained. The sisters who entered the palace together today played hide-and-seek in the Chuxiu Palace. In the corner of the East Side Hall, they found a puppet full of silver needles. Everyone was scared to death. Check, the date of birth on the puppet belongs to the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother has just recovered from a serious illness.

"Sister Concubine Tong is the real sister of the imperial concubine. Why are the sisters like this? The emperor should not wrong Concubine Tong." Sitting down, Concubine Rong spoke first, Concubine Hui was behind her, and also persuaded, "The emperor will check carefully. , if this kind of thing really makes innocent people take the blame, the real perpetrators will be more at ease."

Xuan Ye didn't speak. At this time, under the leadership of Eunuch Li, the guards searched Chuxiu Palace inside and out, and brought up a paper package. The imperial concubine asked disgustedly: "What is this?"

Eunuch Li hurriedly said: "I have seen it outside, it is exactly the same drug that was found in Yonghe Palace last time, in front of the emperor and all the ladies, it is not easy for me to open it."

Several concubines covered their mouths, as if they were afraid of being raped, but the imperial concubine said angrily: "Why is she in Chuxiu Palace? She hadn't entered the palace at that time."

Sitting down, I don't know who has the audacity to say: "Maybe it's a new one brought in this time. In the past, it was a combination of inside and outside, but now..."

"Nonsense!" the imperial concubine yelled angrily, looking for the speaker in the crowd, her eyes were as sharp as a blade, if she found the speaker, she would immediately eat her alive, scaring all the women to hang their heads.

"Your Majesty, don't get angry, let's see what the emperor says." Concubine Wen Guifei persuaded her. The imperial concubine glanced at her, then turned and said proudly to the emperor, "Concubine Tong is cowardly and cowardly. Even wind and thunder can make her cry in fear. How can this be done?" How could she be the one to do such a vicious thing? This concubine implores the emperor to thoroughly investigate the Six Palaces, and everyone who has been to Chuxiu Palace must be investigated to prove the innocence of the concubine and sisters."

"I know." Xuan Ye's complexion was heavy, and he looked at the young women on the ground with regret, and said with a slight sigh, "You are all confined to your own bedroom first, and you are not allowed to go out without my order. Find out about this matter. Before, I didn't want to hear gossip, each of you said a word, and this harem will be clean."

The emperor got up and glanced at the crowd. Among the women, some dared not look at him lowering his head, and some eagerly hoped that the emperor's eyes would stay on their faces for a while, but there were not many faces that Xuan Ye could catch. , He even felt that he had never seen it before and could not be called by name, so he couldn't help smiling bitterly in his heart, and immediately said: "Someone will come to investigate this matter, and the matter of Concubine De's being drugged is still pending. If you find this thing again, someone must be restless again, take this opportunity to clean up the harem, and you will live a stable life in the future."

After Xuan Ye said these few words, he was about to leave, and all the concubines bowed their knees to send them off, and only waited for the emperor to leave, and the women began to talk in a hurry, but suddenly they heard the imperial concubine scolding everyone: "The one who cleans himself will be cleared now. Everything has not been concluded yet, you may have cheap mouths and love to talk nonsense, I can't deal with you yet, and when the truth comes out, I will find you to settle it together, if you don't want to pay the price for it, just keep your mouths in check."

The women were all silent, but Concubine Wen said, "Your Majesty, let's appease Concubine Tong first." As she spoke, she had already helped Concubine Tong up, Concubine Tong hardly dared to look at her sister, while Concubine Tong The imperial concubine was also very disgusted with Qi Buzheng, and walked away without saying a word.

"My good sister, don't cry, I'll take you to wash your face." Concubine Wen said, helping Concubine Tong to go to the inner hall, followed by nobleman Jue Chan, and Concubine Rong greeted all the sisters: "Let's go Well, it's better not to go out these few days, don't let it be your turn next time."

Everyone said yes, and dispersed one after another, Chuxiu Palace became quiet again, could faintly hear Concubine Tong's crying, Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi went all the way to the front, Concubine Yi looked at Concubine Hui for a long time, couldn't help asking: "Sister's expression not good?"

Concubine Hui hurriedly said: "During the past few days, there was another scene like this, and I feel very uncomfortable."

"The elder sister rested earlier, I'll go back first." Seeing what she said, Concubine Yi didn't bother to go to Changchun Palace to sit and discuss the matter, and returned to Yikun Palace first, and then Concubine Hui hurried back In his own palace.

He didn't dare to send Baoyun away after entering the door, and waited patiently for Baoyun to leave, and then he called his confidant maid to him, and the maid also asked anxiously: "Master, what's going on?"

Concubine Hui's face was full of tension, she had worked so hard just now, she was sweating profusely at this moment, she panted shortly and said, "I asked you to put a puppet with Wu Ya's birth date in Xianfu Palace, what about Chuxiu Palace? It just popped up? What a coincidence, the horoscope of birth belongs to the fourth elder brother?"

The maid said in horror: "Could it be that this thing is really useful? Concubine De gave birth to a little princess who narrowly escaped death, and the fourth elder brother fell ill again."

"Nonsense, if this thing is useful, how can they still be alive? If it is useful, why were those who made the voodoo long ago arrested and suppressed?" Concubine Hui was still a little rational and calm, and said: "If you don't find out sooner I didn’t realize that the fourth elder brother popped up after recovering from his illness today, and what happened to those drugs, even I don’t know who did the drugs. Could it be that someone put them there on purpose to frame them? "

The palace maid said softly: "If you want an excuse to investigate the Six Palaces again?"

Concubine Hui was shocked and asked the maid to bring her embroidered basket. The material for making puppets had long since disappeared, but now she is in trouble, throwing away all the unsightly things, and burning the house with a charcoal basin. It was stuffy and hot, but at this moment, it was said that Big Brother had arrived.

Yinbi barged in without thinking, and yelled as soon as he entered the door: "It's so hot, what are you doing, mother?"

Concubine Hui panicked, hurriedly asked the maid to clean it up, dragged her son to sit outside, forced a smile and said: "In autumn, mosquitoes are very poisonous. Eighth elder brother is bitten by insects with delicate skin and tender flesh. Er Niang cleaned the house. Smoke it."

"That's right, my son was bitten in the study the day before yesterday." Yinyi said as he rolled up his sleeves, and the huge red envelope made Concubine Hui's heart ache, but the child smiled and said, "It's okay, they put the study in the study too." After being smoked, my son will not be bitten again."

Concubine Hui was still not at ease, so she asked someone to take the heat-clearing and detoxifying ointment and applied it to her son herself. While applying it, she suddenly heard her son ask herself in a very low voice: "Emiang, what is Nightmare Town?"

Concubine Hui was startled, the small porcelain bottle in one hand fell to the ground, the maids heard the sound of shattering and wanted to come in to serve, she waved them out, turned around and reprimanded her son solemnly: "Okay, what are you asking about these?"

Seeing that his mother was angry, the elder brother couldn't help being wronged, and muttered: "Those little eunuchs are saying that the fourth brother's illness is because someone cursed him. Er Niang, have you seen it? What does it look like?"

"I told you not to ask!" Concubine Hui was furious, and her son trembled in fright, so she softened her face and said, "Your Emma is very angry and hates such nasty things the most. Don't mention it again, don't you?" It's good to understand."

Yinfei was full of curiosity about this, thinking that anyway, the little eunuchs in the palace would tell him if his mother didn't tell him, so he didn't rush to ask his mother to avoid being scolded, but when he mentioned another matter, he was very unconvinced and said: "Listen to me!" Yinzhi is going to the study too, but he can still live with Mrs. Rong instead of coming to elder brother's house. Erniang, Erchen also wants to come back to follow you. Our Changchun Palace is more spacious than Jingyang Palace. Why doesn't Ama let him I'm back, I can study hard now."

Concubine Hui stared blankly at her son, this matter touched the sadness in her heart, she lowered her head and asked softly, "How do you know that Yinzhi doesn't need to go to elder brother's place?"

"He said it himself." Yinfei was full of jealousy, "Yinzhi will be fine, brother is bored in the office."

"Really? It's okay, Huang Ama thinks highly of you, so I want to cultivate you." Concubine Hui seemed to answer lightly, but she felt sore and depressed in her heart, and she wanted to tell someone.

That night, the emperor went to the Yonghe Palace. Xuan Ye and Lan Qi had agreed to announce the death of the little princess in early August. These days, Lan Qi's body is recovering day by day, and her mood is getting better and better. Yin Zuo is the best at coaxing her mother Happy, every time Xuan Ye came, he could hear the laughter of the mother and son, which made Xuan Ye very comforted, and even hoped that the imperial concubine would send more Si elder brothers over, but in the end he didn't say anything.

But when I came tonight, I heard Yinzuo crying, and when I entered the door, I heard Lan Qi scolding her son. It seemed that Yinzuo was being naughty. When Xuanye walked in, Yinzuo came to act like a baby when he saw his father. Xuanye coaxed him, Instead, Lan Qi scolded: "If the emperor spoils his son, don't blame the concubine later."

Xuan Ye glared at her, and said a few words to his son, Yin Zuo seemed to understand, anyway, it would be fine if he didn't get scolded, and he was taken away by the wet nurse when he stopped crying. Seeing her son leave with great relief, Xuanye came over and touched her forehead, "How is your body? I was worried about Yinzhen a few days ago, you couldn't eat or sleep well. Yinzhen has recovered, I will go Now that you've seen him, you can rest easy."

Lan Qi nodded and smiled: "The concubine is very good, don't worry the emperor, I have been thinking about it for a few days and I will go to see the empress dowager, I miss her so much."

"Don't worry, the imperial grandmother misses you too, but you must take good care of your body." Xuan Ye said gently, "Besides what happened today, I told them not to go out too much, and you don't have to go out either. "

It was only then that Lan Qi remembered and asked: "The emperor really did that?"

Xuan Ye smiled: "It's rare for you to come up with a solution, I will always try it, if it doesn't work, I won't discuss it with you next time."

It turns out that the farce in Chuxiu Palace today was originally brought about by the emperor, but it was Lan Qi who came up with this unkind way.

Xuanye came to see her that day, and mentioned that Concubine Wen was waiting for her in Ningshou Palace, and privately said that in her Xianfu Palace, she found a puppet with Concubine De's birth date written on it. She didn't dare to go to Qianqing Palace, and waited every day in Ningshou Palace to meet the emperor to pay his respects, and she finally let her wait.

Not long later, the fourth elder brother fell ill. When Xuan Ye came to talk about it with Lan Qi, Lan Qi said casually: "That man is trying to frame the noble concubine, but if the same thing appears in other places, it will harm the inexplicable People, will the people who do it panic and show their feet?"
