Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Faced with Tong Bin's crying complaints, Lan Qi felt a little edgy in her heart. It wasn't because she was petty and suspicious, but because she felt that Tong Bin would let her own sister not beg, why did she come to beg her? There are too many human relationships, and she can't help being impulsive and reckless like before. She has a heart to help others, but it depends on who she helps and what she helps.

After listening to Tong Bin's words, Lan Qi was even more surprised. She never expected that such a "ruthless" person as Jue Chan would stand up for Tong Bin. She had to bow her head under the eaves. It was understandable for her to survive, but why did she help Concubine Tong?

There are too many questions in her heart, which makes Lan Qi feel that she is heartless. At this moment, she should comfort Tong Bin and find a way for her, but she is thinking about these inappropriate things. Tong Tong's crime will make Jue Chan's family irreversible, and no matter who gets involved, it will cause a commotion.

"Grandma Juechan said that he just wanted to make an excuse to make nobleman Ping unable to live in Chuxiu Palace. We didn't want to spoil her good deeds, let alone harm her. We just wanted her to move to another place. Who knows? After bringing Concubine Wen Gui in, the following things are not controlled by nobleman Juechan and his concubines, but nobleman Ping blames all these on us. How can such a gentle and quiet person, who doesn't even say a word to others?"

Concubine Tong was crying, Lan Qi looked at her like this, and understood why she didn't dare to ask the imperial concubine. According to the imperial concubine's temper, how could she listen to her explanations, she was just a noble person, so she just found an excuse to dismiss her.There is no need to tolerate a dirty palace. The Empress Dowager told her earlier that she must not be soft-hearted when encountering such a thing.

Concubine Tong cried and begged again: "Your Majesty, go and save the nobleman Juechan."

Lan Qi said calmly: "We don't know anything, we don't even understand how she fell into the trap, and I can't point out that she set the trap with just a word from Mrs. Ping. Sister, please calm down first, I will let you Huanchun go to inquire about the situation, and only then can you help me if you know what's going on."

And Huanchun sent people to inquire early on, and when the news came back, it was said that the nobleman Jue Chan was talking to a guard in the imperial garden, but was caught by the people following him. The following guards had received reports that there were guards and concubines For adultery, they did come here specially to arrest people, but others did not understand why they caught Mr. Jue Chan, but the most terrible thing was that the guard had already admitted it.

"Your Jue Chan is now in Chengqian Palace, and she doesn't admit to having an affair, let alone knows that guard." Huan Chun frowned and told the master what he had inquired about, "But that guard admitted it, as if he was not afraid of death. , it is very strange."

Lan Qi nodded, thinking about it: "When encountering such a thing, no matter whether it exists or not, people will instinctively excuse themselves. It really doesn't make sense to plead guilty so easily."

Tong Pin was sobbing, and said bitterly: "Maybe it's the dead man brought by Mr. Ping?"

"Dead warriors?" Lan Qi's heart twitched. The so-called dead warriors are those who give up their lives to serve their masters. For them, there is no good or evil, only masters. It is tantamount to forcing him to commit suicide, and Jue Chan will be even more speechless since there will be no proof of death.

Not long after, there was another news from outside, saying that Concubine Wen Gui had arrived at Chengqian Palace, but after saying this for a while, the little eunuch in front of the door hurriedly came to report: "Master, the Imperial Concubine Huang Guifei sent someone to find you to Chengqian Palace. dry palace."

Lan Qi didn't care about the affairs of Liugong, she was asked to either sit in on it, or discuss a countermeasure together, until she entered the gate of Chengqian Palace, she always thought so, but how could she think that she would sleep well in Yonghe Palace? Taking a nap will also be involved in this troublesome matter.

It turned out that Concubine Wen came to say that she asked Jue Chan to go to the imperial garden to pick flowers and branches, and that the noble Jue Chan usually followed her, never leaving the gate, not to mention having an affair with the guards, even court ladies and eunuchs she didn't know. She won't say a word, trying to protect the innocence of the people in her palace, regardless of whether the imperial concubine is out of loyalty or selfishness, she can stand up to protect the people in her house, which makes Rong Fei and others look at her with admiration.

But the problem came again. Xianghe beside Jue Chan said the exact opposite of what the concubine had said. Unknowingly, Xianghe was taken away, and without asking a few words, she cried and said, "It's the concubine Defei who sent someone to make an appointment. The nobles go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, and my nobles go out."

In this way, either Concubine Wen Guifei or Xianghe lied, and when she asked Jue Chan again, she said that she wanted to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, and no one came to her.Concubine Wen is acceptable, Xianghe asked her excitedly: "Why didn't you tell me, the concubine De concubine sent someone to look for you, this servant did not lie."

When Lan Qi entered the door, she just heard Xianghe crying like this. Before she could figure out the situation, Xianghe cried and asked her if she invited the nobleman Jue Chan to go to the Imperial Garden. Very impatient, her long and slender eyebrows were almost knotted, and she pointed at them angrily and said, "Can you guys discuss it before you come to guarantor?"

When everyone heard the words of the imperial concubine, it was obvious that there was still room for change in this matter. As long as the people below could sort out the clues and come up with a convincing argument, the imperial concubine's side would not be difficult to discuss.But right now Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui are absolutely on the sidelines, Concubine Wen Gui wants to help, but Xiang He makes an oolong, and Concubine De is completely irrelevant, and is involved inexplicably.

What is even more incomprehensible is that, apart from resolutely denying her adultery, Jue Chan also denied the words of Concubine Wen Gui and Xiang He. Obviously either side was her life-saving straw, but she didn't reach out to grab either side.

Concubine Wen was also embarrassed. She thought she could help Jue Chan by speaking out. She knew about Jue Chan and Nalan Rongruo. Since it was not Nalan Rongruo who was arrested today, she would definitely not He might have had an affair with someone else, but if it was said that the guard was someone from Nalan Rongruo helping him to deliver something privately, only a fool would run to the Imperial Garden in full light and wait for someone to catch him.

Everyone is a smart person, and if you calm down and think about it, you will feel that this is weird, but no matter how weird it is, it happened after all, and the other side has pleaded guilty and waited to die, which is equivalent to half of the decision.

"Sister Rong, there seems to be rumors spreading in the palace, no matter what the outcome of the matter is, you must have a way to shut up those who talk badly." Lan Qi finally spoke, but she said these words to Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong, who had been embarrassed here for a long time, was refreshed, nodded quickly, turned to the imperial concubine and said, "My concubine, let's go and see who has broken mouths. The palace has been clean for a while, and some people are restless again."

Concubine Hui didn't want to stay and get involved in this matter, she was relieved knowing that she had nothing to do with Rong Ruo, and hurriedly agreed to leave with Concubine Rong, to suppress the gossip in the palace, they had a lot of means, compared to dealing with the situation in front of the door This clueless thing is much simpler.

As soon as the two left, the Imperial Concubine became even more impatient, and said to Concubine Wen and Lan Qi: "A concubine's adultery is a great shame to the Emperor. You and I both know how to deal with it best. I'll give you the opportunity. Don't wait until later. He also said that I can't tolerate people, you two should think about it here, and come and ask me to talk after you understand it."

After saying this, the imperial concubine left the whole room and walked away. Concubine Wen and Lan Qi didn't stop her, but Concubine Tong, who came with Lan Qi, hesitated again and again, and followed her sister in.Lan Qi guessed that she would confess to the imperial concubine, even if she didn't dare to say it, at least she would say good things for Jue Chan, and she and Concubine Wen were staring at each other, counting, they hadn't seen each other so closely for a long time .

"We have no results here. The Department of Punishment is about to take over. There is no such good temper. I am waiting for you to say something without understanding." Concubine Wen said coldly, looking straight at Lan Qi , I haven't seen each other for a long time, Concubine De has not changed and is still the same as before, but Concubine Wen feels strange for no reason.

"Yes." Lan Qi simply replied.

Concubine Wen Gui frowned slightly, and continued to ask in a cold voice: "Xiang He won't lie, did you send someone to find her?"

"Your Majesty, no one came to look for the concubine. It was the concubine who was going to the imperial garden by herself. The guard suddenly pestered him. The concubine had never seen him before." Jue Chan interrupted the conversation they were about to start. , she doesn't seem to be afraid of death, but she will never admit to trumped-up charges.

"Master, it's Concubine De, have you forgotten?" Xianghe cried and said, she was really eager to protect the master, and said to Concubine De, "Master, please ask this servant to go to Yonghe Palace to show you who it is, servant I remember the face of the little eunuch. Madam, please speak for my master."

"Don't be stupid." Jue Chan grabbed Xianghe and smiled wryly, "Silly girl, how can there be such a person, you can't find him in Yonghe Palace, you are lying, do you want to go to the Department of Punishment to be whipped?" Is it? This matter is obvious, someone intentionally harmed me, so don't involve De Concubine Empress again."

"Imperial concubine, can I let my concubine talk to nobleman Juechan alone?" Lan Qi didn't care what their master and servant said, she asked Concubine Wen in this way. He Dongyun asked the imperial concubine to sit elsewhere, and took Xianghe down, the hall finally quieted down, Lan Qi sat aside, and said to Jue Chan on the ground, "Get up, it's very cold on the ground."

Jue Chan shook his head, and said apologetically, "That's fine, it's all my concubine's fault that you were involved."

Lan Qi asked: "Xianghe didn't lie, did someone come to you in my name?"

Jue Chan finally nodded: "The concubine didn't think too much about it at the time. I thought you were fine and would never come to see the concubine, so I went there without thinking. When you are not there, the concubine will have to wait for a while. Wait, the sun was shining, Xianghe ran back to get an umbrella for the concubine, and the guard came running after a while, if Xianghe hadn't left, probably nothing would have happened."

Lan Qi shook her head slightly: "Since they have planned for today, if Xianghe doesn't leave by herself, they will find another way to distract her. It would be very far-fetched for you to be charged with adultery just for talking, but because This kind of thing is too sensitive, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, it is a crime if it happens. Even if you can save your life and think that you are right, it is just quietly calming down, and will not return your innocence with great fanfare. From now on, you In the palace, it is inevitable that people will criticize him for this."

Jue Chan smiled disdainfully: "Fame is not important to the concubine, the matter has come to an end, regardless of life or death, the concubine doesn't want to involve others anymore, I didn't expect that the concubine Wen would come to prove my concubine's innocence, the concubine Thought she would get rid of the relationship."

"You have been together for so long, whether you are selfish or affectionate, people's hearts are fleshy." Lan Qi also had a slight change in her heart towards Concubine Wen, and continued to ask, "Concubine Tong has already told me the matter. You are smart enough not to miss the reason, why didn't you tell the imperial concubine?"

Jue Chan looked at her peacefully: "Not to mention the concubines and concubines, the only ones in this palace who have ever been friendly to the concubines are you and Concubine Tong. The concubines are lonely all their lives and have no sisters or friends. It is rare to have the two of you." Treating each other sincerely, it is not a pity for the concubine to die."

"I treat you well?" Lan Qi felt incredible.

Jue Chan nodded with a smile: "The concubine will remember what you said. Every sentence is to hope that the concubine can live a good life. I didn't understand it before, but now I understand everything."

Lan Qi listened quietly without opening her mouth.

"The imperial concubine has always used the concubine, but the concubine is very grateful that she can come today." Jue Chan was calm and sober, and the sudden encounter did not disturb her. As far as her life is concerned, what she cares more about is the last people and things she cares about when she is alive.

"If Concubine Tong stayed out of the incident, I wouldn't know what happened, and even if I knew, I would feel sorry for you and feel sorry for her, but Concubine Tong still said it, and she begged me to save you. To be honest, I don't know why Save you, we don't have any evidence to prove your innocence, if we continue to investigate, you and I know the power behind Pinggui." Lan Qi said seriously, "I am willing to help you, but I can only use this mouth to persuade you. The Empress Dowager, or the Emperor, if they don't follow, I will be helpless, I hope you can understand this."

"The concubine doesn't expect this matter to be turned around. At the beginning, she rashly agreed to help Concubine Tong, but she regretted it when she calmed down. It's not because she was afraid that something would happen to her, but because she thought that Mr. Ping would figure out what was going on someday. In the future, it will harm the concubine Tong even more, and as expected today, all the blame can only be blamed on the concubine being too impulsive." Jue Chan smiled helplessly, "This is completely different from doing something for the concubine, the concubine is too self-righteous gone."

Lan Qi looked at her with mixed emotions in her heart. She watched Jue Chan's step by step to today, and finally figured it out. At the beginning, nothing happened between her and Nalan Rongruo's old relationship, but when she waited Today she was really accused of adultery, she sighed: "You have said so much, what about the eighth brother? The birth mother has a bad reputation, and the eighth brother will also be implicated."

Jue Chan smiled coldly: "Isn't the eighth elder brother the son of Concubine Hui, he has nothing to do with concubines."

Lan Qi laughed because of this: "You still haven't changed."

When she said this, the imperial concubine ran out by herself, and seeing that only Lan Qi and Jue Chan were talking, she asked angrily: "Concubine Wen is gone too?"

Lan Qi didn't wait for an answer, she saw that Concubine Tong who came out with her was crying, her eyes and nose were red, she must have been scolded by her sister, and then looked at the imperial concubine's posture, thinking in her heart, she felt that the Chan family should still be saved.
