The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 112
Wan Lai picked up the somewhat faded fire folder on the case and lit the lamp.

There was a sad and desolate atmosphere in the hall, even though the palace lanterns were bright, Wanyu still felt that there was a splash of darkness in front of her eyes.

In the corner of the bed, the waistcoat Xiuyan curled up cowardly. She was wearing a dark red autumn chrysanthemum pajamas, like a ghost in the dark night, with faint candlelight reflected in her dark eyes, staring blankly at her. Wannao.

However, I haven't seen you in a month, and Wanyu vaguely remembers how domineering and honorable the nobleman was back then. Now that she looks like this, Wanyu can't help but feel sore in her heart: "Even though you have trapped me with the spruce, you should be punished. It can be seen With you like this, I don't know if I should hate you or not."

Xiuyan slowly turned to her side, her expression suddenly turned cold: "I didn't harm you, if you want to blame, you can blame yourself for being unpopular, and the grand maid who brought into the palace by herself will also come to me to betray you."

Wan Yu met her eyes, only then did she see that her eyes were black and blue like sapphires, and there was a large bloodshot sticking to her eyelids.

She didn't care about Xiuyan's cold and arrogant attitude, she just walked slowly to her side, rolled up her skirt, and took a deep breath: "It's so cold. It's going to snow soon, in your palace How can we live without burning a pot of charcoal?"

"Is it winter now? Is it cold? Why can't I feel it?" Xiuyan sneered, fiddled with a pair of tiger-toed shoes by her hand, frowned suddenly, and spoke nervously: "I don't know Cheng Rui How is his body? Ever since he was poisoned by that bitch, Concubine Xian, he has always been chilled and ill. The nanny that my elder brother sent is not worrying." She said, her eyes flickering, tears like coagulation The dew stagnates on the tip of the lotus leaf in early summer, looking crystal clear.

Wanyu snorted charmingly, folded her hands and caressed her onion-like nails, and said leisurely: "Now that things have happened, do you still think it was Concubine Xian who harmed your child?"

The waistcoat Xiuyan looked calm: "If it wasn't for her, there would be no one else. If you make friends with her, I naturally hate you too."

Wan Yu wondered: "Hate me? I would like to ask, have you never been suspicious? Yunshan is not on good terms with you, why did she ask you to report me to the Queen? Why didn't you tell the matter directly? Empress, why did you add all these troubles? And why did you get reprimanded by the emperor for being imprisoned in the palace so that you must not even see your own child, but she skyrocketed and became pregnant and became the emperor's concubine?"

"How could this be?" Vest Xiuyan's eyes widened, with a look of surprise on her face: "She is the instigator, I just sued you in front of the imperial court because I believed her nonsense! Why is she so complacent?"

Wan Yu lightly frowned, stared at her and said indifferently: "If no one behind her supports her and promises her benefits, even if she complains to me again, how can she do such a betrayal thing? We must know that throughout the ages, the betrayer Afterwards, it always followed the word "seeking glory."

She took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Now the emperor doesn't believe that, so the one who is locked up here today is you, the scapegoat. If the emperor believes her false accusation, then the one who is locked up here today It will be me. With such a strategy of killing two birds with one stone, I don’t know if the hatred poisoned me, or the hatred poisoned you?”

A short gust of wind swept into the hall through the crack of the window, and Wanyou felt a chill unknowingly. She reached out and closed the wind-blown window behind Ma Xiuyan.

The vest Xiuyan smiled sadly, and suddenly sat up from the couch: "There are more people in this palace who hate me than the dust blown up by the wind, so why would I care about these things. As long as the emperor still has me in his heart, all of these things will not matter." important."

"You can see it." Wanyu sat gently on the bed, this was the first time she was so close to Xiuyan in the vest, so close that even the pores on her pretty face could be seen in the dim light of the candle really.She looked at Xiuyan in the vest like this, and it took a long time before she smiled calmly: "But what about your child? Isn't it important?"

She had a calm expression at first, but Wannai's words were like a heavy whip on her body, causing her to raise her head abruptly, her expression gradually ferocious: "If anyone dares to make up Chengrui's mind, I will definitely not let her go! "

"Look at the thoughts of the person behind this incident, does it seem like Chengrui's birthday banquet was poisoned? Rongyue will be eliminated if it succeeds, and half of Chengrui's life will be taken away if it fails. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?" Wan Yu Suppressing the anger in my heart, I slowly said: "What about me? Mrs. Angui lives with me, and her miscarriage seems to be inextricably linked to me. Although I can't refute my innocence, but this matter Although it was done impeccably, it deliberately kept some clues to lead the fire to me."

Xiuyan was stunned for a moment: "If it works, I can get rid of you, even if it fails, no matter how bad it is, I can take the life of the fetus in Mrs. Angui's womb." She frowned slightly, and said bitterly: "Who in this palace has a So thoughtful? Is it the queen?"

Wanyu's tone froze, she didn't answer her directly, she just went on to herself: "I asked Eldest Sister in private, she said that before I was elected to the palace, there was a Chen Changzai in the palace who was very fond of the emperor. , more pregnant than you. Then one day, when she was feeding fish by the imperial lake, she accidentally fell into the water. Concubine Hui happened to pass by. Hearing the movement, she threw herself into the water to save others. But at the end, she was still not saved Come up. Poor Chen Changzai died unjustly in Yuhu in the womb with her. Later, because of this matter, the emperor treated Concubine Hui differently, and with the recommendation of the Empress Dowager, she sealed her in one fell swoop. Concubine, I have become the lord of the first palace."

"What's the point of bringing up this old story for no reason? Who in the palace doesn't know that concubine Hui is the best at seeing the wind and inviting people's hearts." Xiuyan was a little suspicious, and then saw Wanyu staring at her with a smile that was not a smile. Surprised: "What do you mean?"

Wanyu interrupted her, and said: "Concubine Hui was born in the Horqin tribe of Mongolia, and she is the most familiar with water, so it is true to say that she saved people. I believe that the old people in the palace were also suspicious at that time. It's remote, half of the lake has been overgrown by water hyacinths, and it's not elegant. If you really want to pass the time by feeding fish, you can do it next to the "Lotus Pond" in Yuhu. Why did she just pass by that place and jump into the lake to save others regardless of her own safety? No matter how familiar she is with water, she is still a woman, how can she save her when Chen Changzai is pregnant? Others will see this and must I called for help first, but all the guards on patrol that day said that they didn’t hear anything and nothing strange.” Wan Lai breathed out slowly, and said almost word by word: “It’s so illogical, who can prove it, Did Concubine Hui save Chen Changzai that day, or did she harm Chen Changzai?"

The hall was unusually quiet, Wannai and Xiuyan met each other's eyes, looking at the fear in each other's eyes, not daring to think further.
