The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 153
That day, the empress was teasing Chenghu in the palace to enjoy the family relationship. Now he can call Ama and Erniang proficiently, and he has learned many new words, and he is more handsome.

The queen looked more and more delighted, and played with him for a long time with a rattle in her hand. Seeing that he was sleepy, she ordered the nurse to carry him down and take care of him carefully.

Qingyue took a bowl of steaming blood swallows into the room, saw the queen was delighted, and flattered: "Our Chenghu is becoming more and more clever. And it looks like Ronggui and Huigui are pregnant, and the emperor often comes to our Kunning Palace, to accompany the queen and elder brother."

"What about being pregnant, and what about giving birth to a prince? Cheng Hu in this palace is now the legitimate eldest son of the emperor. His status is so honorable. He will be the best candidate for the crown prince when he grows up safely in the future." The queen accepted with a smile. Guo Qingyue took a sip of the blood swallow's nest in her hand, and said complacently: "This blood swallow is a precious thing, and it should be enjoyed by noble people. Did it come out of the mouth of the envoy's servant?"

As she spoke, she smiled, and Qingyue also nodded her head in response: "Poor Yun Chang is always here, thinking that we are helping her wholeheartedly."

"Idiot." The queen raised her eyebrows and joked, "You think she and Ying Que are plotting against me? The Forbidden City has impenetrable walls. Now it's not too late, but you dare to plot against me and my children. With that wicked future, I will completely cut off her hope, let's see how arrogant she is."

It turned out that the conversation between Yunshan and Yingque in the palace that day was overheard by the maids who cleaned the side hall.

That person was originally from the Queen's palace, so naturally there was news that he went to ask for a reward with the Queen.

The queen knows that Yunshan intends to murder her own son and supports her child, so naturally she cannot allow such a person with different intentions to cling to her.

Just as he was talking, Kang Fushou came to report, saying that Yunshan was seeking to see him outside.The queen straightened her complexion slightly and ordered him to bring someone in.

When Yunshan came, she was dressed in white clothes, her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, she didn't wear jewelry on her neck and wrists, and she didn't put any makeup on her face, just like a funeral dress.

Seeing that she was so furious, the queen frowned and pointed at her and scolded: "Yun Chang is here, except for concubines who are mourning concubines, you are not allowed to wear mourning clothes. Do you know that this kind of dress has the meaning of cursing the Holy Majesty? You have no children now, even Don't you want your own life?"

Yun Shan smiled, knelt down to pay her respects and then said: "What the empress reprimanded was that the concubine lost her child and didn't care to dress up, but she just picked clothes at random, so she came to pay her respects."

"You have to be cautious about your current status. You are no longer a last-class court lady. Don't always be ignorant and annoying."

"My concubine is guilty." Yunshan bowed and bowed, then staggered up and looked at the jade bowl in the queen's hand: "The empress uses blood swallows, such a good thing, the concubine sees it again and again." I have seen very few of them.”

The queen smiled faintly, picked up the bowl and drank it all, and then gave Yunshan a seat: "I have been sad for so many days, now I am willing to go out and walk?"

Yunshan said: "Even if you are sad, you have to live on."

She sniffed the faint scent of flowers in the air, and sighed: "This is the scent of saponins specially used for cleaning clothes by the wet nurses who serve Elder Brother. In the past, Elder Brother always had this smell, but now in the palace, it can only be used in the palace. The Empress has heard it."

The queen nodded and said nothing, Yun Shan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, my concubine has something to ask, and I want to make it clear."

The queen focused: "What's the matter?"

"In the past, the concubine offered advice to the empress, saying that the concubine Wan sent food to the elder brother every day. If she was poisoned inside, causing the nurse to fall ill and die, this matter would definitely involve her, and it would hinder the emperor's heir. She will never get rid of the suspicion." As Yun Shan said, her eyes turned red: "But why did the poison turn into a hidden and invisible febrile disease in the end, affecting concubines and children in vain?"

The queen was a little vigilant, and ordered Qingyue to step back and guard the door, and then slowly said: "Poisoning is easy to leave a clue, but this disease, come and go without a trace. To achieve great things, there must be sacrifices." , Your child is gone, and I feel deeply sorry for you."

regret?If the queen hadn't changed the original intention of her plan without telling Yunshan, how could Chengxiang have died tragically? ?
Seeing the queen's complacent face now, and unscrupulously expressing her regrets, Yun Shan felt even more resentful.

But she pretended to be meaningless on her face, and she actually raised a smile and said: "I understand that a child is nothing. It's just a pity that I couldn't bring down Concubine Wan. In the final analysis, it was the concubine who was negligent. I fell into her scheme!"

When the queen heard Yunshan say this, she was inevitably a little surprised.

She stared at Yunshan in doubt, becoming more and more unclear, what kind of strange woman is this person in front of her?

Actually facing the death of his own child as if nothing happened?
Her back felt cold secretly, and she said in a deep voice: "She has a lot of thoughts, and it's understandable that you didn't expect it."

"The concubine needs to thank the empress for taking care of her."

The Queen raised her voice 'Oh' and asked, "Thank you, Bengong?"

"If it wasn't for the empress ordering Eunuch Kang to cut off the life of the nanny whom the concubine bought in advance, how can the concubine be ordered to gossip with the empress here?"

On that day, the queen deliberately stopped Liang Jiugong to invite the nanny of elder brother's place, just to ask Kang Fushou to take the opportunity to get rid of the nanny. There will be no proof of death, and there will be no way to verify the matter.

Originally, this matter was for her own sake, but Yun Shan took it away and only regarded it as the queen protecting her.

The empress only felt it was ridiculous in her heart, and secretly sighed that she was stupid, but there was a worried expression on her face: "Hey, you are also a poor person like me, since you surrendered to me, naturally I have to protect you." You are considerate."

"My concubine, thank you for your great kindness and virtue." Yunshan said generously, then got up and knelt down, and bowed deeply to the queen: "Now this concubine has no heirs to rely on. Concubine is a humble slave. Like floating flowers, there is nothing to rely on. Thanks to the empress who will not abandon her service, the concubine is willing to go through fire and water in the future, and the eldest brother Bao ascends to the position of prince to clear the obstacles for the empress. I only hope that the empress can protect the concubine, and the concubine will be here This harem of entanglements and entanglements has finally found a good tree to live in!"

What she said was somewhat true or false, the queen still knew how to tell.

But since she said so, the empress only responded to her as an ordinary matter, and ordered her to stand up more attentively, and said solemnly: "In this harem, you are the one who understands my heart best, and this palace does not protect you." Who can you protect?" She smiled, sat in the back seat, and straightened her face: "Actually, in the final analysis, your child was also killed by Concubine Wan. If you are afraid of this matter, I can also plan for you. Help you avenge your hatred."

Yunshan secretly sighed in her heart that the queen's hypocrisy is really disgusting, it is clearly for her own benefit, but she speaks like she is the Guanyin who saves the suffering.But why does she care about these things at the moment, if she wants to avenge Cheng Hu, the only way to turn things around is to get close to the queen and let her gradually trust her.

So she bowed to give blessings, and said in her mouth: "The empress is so kind and virtuous, and concubines can't repay her. From now on, I will do the work of a dog and a horse, and share the worries and problems of the empress!"
