The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 116
The Yikun palace was as quiet as a deep pool of spring, Wanyu and Concubine Yi looked at each other, looking at the translucent shadow in each other's eyes, each thinking about Concubine Hui in their hearts.

Concubine Yi ordered Wanyu to sit down on the warm seat beside the couch in the bedroom. She straightened her clothes, looked at the puzzled look on Wanyu's face, and then said again: "The water chestnut under Concubine Hui's hand said that the empress was delighted to have a son. Ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replace many more colorful green chrysanthemums and moved them to the Queen's Palace, and the old ones were naturally replaced. I always felt that she was too kind, so I ordered Arjun to stop the Ministry of Internal Affairs and took it with me. Luju went back to Yikun Palace. It was Bai Changqing from the Imperial Hospital who came to see it and discovered all kinds of clues. If he hadn’t been with Mr. Tong Jia in our mansion, he wouldn’t have known these Mongolian secret medicines.”

Wan Yu was concentrating for a moment, and a hint of puzzlement flashed across her beautiful face: "But the imperial doctor has seen that Cheng Hu is fine after all, and the queen is just a normal postpartum deficiency, and it's just a matter of recuperation. Besides, she is stronger than others, and How can it be a bad thing?"

Concubine Yi's smile sank, and she fiddled with the incense burner on the seat warming table: "Do you know that the Mongolian secret medicine can make cattle and horses healthy, why don't Mongolians use it on humans?"

Seeing Wanyu shaking her head, Concubine Yi said again: "People are not like cows and horses. If you raise a fetus with this method, the longer the fetus is in the mother's body, the less nutrients the mother can provide for the fetus. It's easy to suffocate. Furthermore, even if you escape this catastrophe, the fetus is so huge during delivery, if you are not careful, you will be in the womb with dystocia, and both mother and child will die."

Concubine Yi paused for a moment, and a stern look flashed across her face: "Even if the delivery is successful, the fetus is very likely to be mentally injured due to the medicine, and when it grows up, it will be a foolish, literate child." It's all a problem. What's the difference between the royal family giving birth to such a talented prince and not giving birth?"

Wan Lai's eyes were startled, and she knew that this way of killing three birds with one arrow and taking care of the future without any worries, really resembled Concubine Hui's thoughts.

There was a bit of worry on her face, and she said angrily: "She really doesn't want to let anyone go. Looking at the whole palace, she has killed all the pregnant concubines. Now even the emperor's son-in-law Dare to make an idea, does she really want her own life?"

Concubine Yi shook her head lightly, and said with a sneer, "We don't care whether she wants it or not, but the evidence in hand now is enough to bind her in a cocoon, and there is no room for retaliation."

"Inappropriate." Wan Lai pondered for a while, and interrupted Concubine Yi's words: "Elder Sister thinks carefully, Liu Yue's family letter Hui Concubine can argue that it is a forgery, and the Ruyi Knot is even more unfounded. And this green chrysanthemum, the Empress has Since she was pregnant, there has been an endless stream of visits to concubines from the Six Palaces. If they want to make a move, everyone has a chance. Concubine Hui has the support of the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager. She's on guard."

Wannai's expression showed a bit of hatred, she gritted her teeth and said: "She took Xuerong's life by the queen's hand, instigated Yunshan to betray me, ruined Lingyou's bright future, and even secretly ordered the criminal officers of the Ministry of Punishment to advance Execution killed my mother, and I can't spare her even a single cent of this. I have to get evidence to make the emperor execute the bitch, and I will be happy!"

Concubine Yi looked at Wanyu's resolute expression, and was quite happy: "You are more calm now, and it is more appropriate than I thought. But how do you get evidence? Concubine Hui has always been cautious in doing things, and she must grasp It is difficult to live in her fault."

"In the past, we couldn't see clearly because we hadn't seen through her mind, but now it's different." Wanyu looked far away, looking in the direction of the Changchun Palace: "The queen's baby is born, and Nala promised the baby." She lives with Concubine Hui in Changchun Palace, elder sister thinks Concubine Hui might be able to keep her temper?"

Concubine Yi showed a little bit of joy: "You said yes, I was in the dark, and I kept my face and led the snake out of the hole?"

Wan Lai didn't answer Concubine Yi's words, she just looked out the window at the dark moonlight.

She smiled while holding Juanzi, and a soft luster flashed across the cuffs of the light green and velvety cotton padded jacket: "It's sunny and snowless tonight. When I get back from Eldest Sister, I'll stop by to see Nala and agree."

Concubine Yi nodded, as if remembering something, she paused and asked: "At this point, even Ma Jia knows the ins and outs, are you still going to hide it from Concubine Xian?"

Wan Lai sighed quietly: "Rong Yue can't hold back her temper, telling her would be a bad thing. With us watching from left and right, she can't hurt Rong Yue. We'd better wait until the matter is settled, and then talk to her."

The curtains of the dormitory moved lightly, and it was Arjun who came back to answer after delivering the fruit tea.

The two of them took a look at her, seeing tears in her eyes and flushed cheeks, they asked her what happened.

Aqiong didn't want to say it at first, but it was only after Concubine Yi repeatedly questioned her that she felt aggrieved and opened her mouth to explain the reason.

It turned out to be on the way back to the palace, saw Yunshan coming out of Concubine Hui, Aqiong thought about how he had served in Niuhulu Mansion with Yunshan in the past, although she is disgraceful to be favored now, but she is in the way She should always be congratulated for her past affection.

So she followed closely and went up, but who would have thought that she lightly put her hand on Yunshan's shoulder, and the maid beside Yunshan stopped her.Not letting her distinguish, Yunshan slapped her on the face, and said that she was not a conspiring maid, she was no longer the humble servant girl back then, and her status was very different from hers, so she should stop pestering herself, Thinking of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix can gain benefits.

After Ah Qiong finished speaking in a crying voice, Wan Yu stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, comforting her: "Don't be as knowledgeable as her, when we meet later, just walk around."

"Why do you want to go around?" Concubine Yi raised her voice suddenly, and said angrily at the desk: "Ah Qiong is the grand maid in this palace, what is she, Yun Shan, who dares to do anything to A Qiong?" Wan Yu glanced at her: "You can bear her, but I can't bear it. If she hadn't come out to you and Lingyou that day, how could you have caused your mother to suffer and die in vain? I think she has that piece of meat in her stomach, and she has already treated her very well." Forgiveness, never thought she would dare to provoke her by herself?"

She snorted, and asked where Arjun Yunshan lived, and Wanyu hurriedly stopped her: "Eldest sister, she is pregnant now, why do you bother her at this time? When the dragon fetus falls to the ground, how will you deal with it?" No one will ask her if she thinks about it. If she can't bear it, she will make a big conspiracy. My mother sacrificed herself to save the Niu Hulu clan. The elder sister can't make her sacrifice in vain just because of a whim."

Concubine Yi was furious, she shook off Wanyu's hand and led Aqiong to the outside of the hall: "Did the poor servants who are rough envoys get beaten less in the past? I don't believe that slapping her can slap her in the stomach." The piece of meat has been knocked out! If you want to go, follow me, if you don’t go, go back to the palace earlier.”
