The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 148 The Disaster in Food (Part [-])

When I arrived at Kunning Palace, I saw the queen sitting on the seat with a straight face.

She combed the 'Fengming Nine Heavens' hair accessory, and her makeup was exquisite and neat.Wearing a yellow kesi silk cloak with ink fairy patterns on the upper and lower sheep squirrel fur, the fabric of the cloak is woven with ink fairy patterns.Narcissus branches and leaves are stretched and graceful, harmonious and natural.The color of the fabric is dark and light ink, which is elegant and gorgeous, with a light but timeless, elegant but not thin charm.

Compared with the tired appearance of the concubine next to her in plain clothes, such exquisite and luxurious attire can really show the empress's style.

After all the concubines entered the palace one after another and sat down in front of the queen, the queen said slowly: "A few days ago, the evil disease that caused everyone in the palace to be in danger, now finally has a clue."

Xiuyan protected her lower abdomen, took a cup of hot tea and said: "I heard that the epidemic situation has stabilized, and there is no other place in the palace other than elder brother's place to suffer from the disease. It is considered unfortunate." luck."

Rou Jia clutched her heart, and continued: "Yes, these days the concubines are frightened, since the empress do not have to pay their respects, the concubines dare not even take a step at the door every day."

The queen smiled faintly, nodded and said: "The epidemic has stopped, but this matter is strange. The emperor has ordered Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Imperial Hospital to investigate this matter together, and now there are clues." Suddenly, she looked cold and cold Said: "I thought it was a natural disaster, but I didn't think it was caused by man-made disaster."

When these words came out, there was an uproar all around, and Yunshan cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, you really mean what you said? But who has such vicious intentions, even wanting to harm the wet nurse who feeds the emperor's heir?"

The queen said: "That man's thoughts don't stop there? I'm afraid he is going to take the life of the emperor's heir!" She said, she took a look at Wanyu: "Wanbi, what do you think?"

Wan Yu's heart tightened, she knew that this matter must be directed at her again.

She smiled lightly, raised her eyebrows and looked at the queen: "Why do you need to ask my concubine this question? If this matter is really man-made, this person must be vicious and serious, so I can't keep it."

The queen snorted coldly, rubbed the jade armor on her hand, and said flatly: "What Concubine Wan said is very true, if this is caused by human beings, then she will definitely not be allowed to stay."

Xiuyan glanced at the empress, seeing that she was trying to cover up, she said impatiently: "The empress summoned the concubines early in the morning, it is meaningless for us to have fun with the empress, right? Now that you have an idea, you might as well just say it out loud How happy it is."

Qingyue saw that Xiuyan had an heir and returned to her former self-defying appearance, so she reprimanded: "Mr. Rong, how can you speak back when the empress is talking to concubine Xian?"

Xiuyan smiled lightly, and cast a sideways glance at her: "I'm talking to the empress, how can you talk back?"

Qingyue was at a loss for words for a while, and the two of them stopped arguing only after the queen coughed: "Okay, I heard the Ministry of Criminal Justice's speech overnight, and summoned the sisters before I could close my eyes, thinking that this is the first report of this matter." Let me tell you. Even the emperor’s place, I haven’t invited anyone yet. Since the court is busy in the morning, there is no point in worrying the emperor.”

The queen raised her hand as she spoke, and Kang Fushou, who was standing in front of the door, nodded in response, and called out loudly: "Bring people in."

Everyone turned their gazes to the entrance of the hall, only to see two eunuchs pressing down on the mother-in-law to enter, and scolded her to kneel down.

As soon as the nanny knelt on the ground, she kowtowed to the queen like pounding garlic, calling out for mercy.

Concubine Yi saw the nanny, raised her juanzi to cover the tip of her nose and said, "Is this the person?"

The queen said: "This person is the nanny who is responsible for the meals of the nursing mothers. Although he is negligent, he is not one in ten compared to the person behind the scenes with vicious thoughts." She straightened her face and sternly said to the nanny: "Raise your head and tell all the concubines what you know."

The nanny looked shy, and after responding to the queen's words, she stammered: "These wet nurses were originally provided by the imperial dining room. But two months ago." She turned her gaze to Wanyan, and continued: "Two months ago. A while ago, Empress Wan concubine once came to look for slaves and said that the food in the imperial dining room was not tasty, and the wet nurses didn't always get much, so she made delicious food without salt and produced milk from the small kitchen in her palace and sent it to the wet nurses. Let's eat. Although the servants tried all the dishes for two out of three days, they gave them to the nurses to eat after they were ready. However, there were always omissions. An opportunity to take advantage of."

Her words made everyone's faces turn pale, but Wannai seemed to have expected it, leaned over to look at her coldly for a long time, and then said leisurely: "Oh? That nun was really negligent. Although the food was sent by me, it's true. , but when did this palace look for you and say those words?"

"Your Majesty, don't deny it. You send food to Elder Brother every day. This is something that everyone in the palace knows. How can this servant wrong you?" The mother suddenly burst into tears as she spoke: "The servant will believe it." With your bodhisattva's face, how do you know that your mother's mind is so vicious. If there is something wrong with the emperor's heir, the life of the servant will not be given up!"

Wan Yu sneered at what she said, sat upright, and said lightly: "If you want to die, then die, what are you talking about here?"

Mammy obviously didn't expect Wannai to answer her words so calmly, but she stammered a little: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this servant is identifying you in order to save this life!"

Wan Yu lightly said 'oh', and then she didn't look at her again: "You have to identify now, and you have already identified. Since you want to die, then drag it out and stick it to death."

The nanny seemed to be begging the queen for mercy, the queen's face darkened, she looked at Wanyu and said, "Wanyu, are you trying to kill someone?"

"The empress wouldn't count on a few gossips from a servant to ask the concubine's guilt?"

"Of course not." The queen raised her hand and ordered Kang Fushou to present the record in her hand, then flipped through it twice, and quickly threw it on the ground: "Look for yourself."

Yun Chan went up to pick up the record, but was snatched away by Yun Shan who was sitting on the side, and said: "Keep the food that my elder brother gave to my concubine, all of which contain wind and disease, and the nursing mother eats it." In other words, the disease enters from the mouth, causing disasters to the emperor's heirs."

She read a few words almost tremblingly, but she couldn't contain her anger, she quickly walked to Wanyu's side in two steps, and raised her hand to slap her.

Wan Lai flicked her sleeves to stop her, then slapped Yun Shan heavily on the face, and shouted: "Yun Chang Zai, don't make a mistake, if you slap me, it is not an exaggeration for me to order someone to send you to the Punishment Department." !"

"You..." Yun Shan covered her reddened cheeks and said angrily, "You murdered the emperor's heir with bad intentions! I know you have resentment in your heart because of the old grievances between you and me, but you are innocent, how can you bear it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw another slap in the face from Wan Lai.

All the concubines were discussing this move, the queen said in a deep voice: "Concubine Wan, are you crazy? Yun Changzai is also the emperor's concubine after all, how can you beat her?"

"Really?" Wan Yu's eyebrows twitched, and she smiled helplessly: "I always remember when Yunshan served my concubines in the past, but I forgot that her status is so precious now."
