The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 190 Rescue ([-])

Insects were buzzing in the imperial garden, and a round of bright moon sprinkled its brilliance, covering the flourishing flowers with a layer of silver moonlight.

Occasionally, the wind blows against the graceful lake blue cloak, and the corners of the clothes are raised and rippling with the wind, as bright as the waves of water.

But at this peaceful and picturesque moment, the nanny's mournful cry begging for mercy was extremely inappropriate. She knocked her forehead on the pebbled ground of the imperial garden with a 'bang bang' sound, and kept shouting: " Concubine Wan, please forgive me, the old slave is over half a hundred years old, and cannot bear the whipping with the cane, Madam Wanpin, please be merciful, you"

Mammy was only halfway out of her words, but Lin Lan took the cane and stood up quickly, almost without any hesitation, and beat Mammy with all her strength, the painful Mammy kept wailing.

This sudden action of hers really startled Wanyu, Wanyu took a few steps back, and only when Linlan finished her ten whips did she throw down the cane and turn to kneel in front of Wanyu, with lowered eyebrows and eyes Respectfully said: "Hui Wan concubine's words, the ten lashes are over."

Wannai glanced at the nanny, the clothes wrapped around her body were torn apart by the rattan, the blood stains soaked the inner white shirt and it was red, she felt a little uncomfortable and moved Juanzi to hold her hands and pressed gently Press the powder on the tip of his nose: "If you behave surlyly again in the future, you won't be able to get rid of your crime with ten lashes like today, do you understand?"

The nanny endured the pain and said with tears: "This old slave is foolish, this old slave will never dare again! Madam Wanbi, calm down, please forgive this old slave."

"Since you know you're wrong, then step back." After saying this, Wan Lai left the place with Yun Chan.

After walking a few steps, Yunchan whispered to Wanyu: "Your Majesty, why do you need to get angry with that nanny, this matter is beyond our control."

Wanyu's cheeks were reddish, as if she was drunk: "If I hadn't been drunk at the Emperor's birthday celebration in the Qianqing Palace, I wouldn't have come to this imperial garden to blow the cold wind to sober up. Since I let this palace see this, it can be regarded as The blessing of that palace lady. In fact, there are countless things in the palace, how can I manage it? The blame is only for the poor fate of that nanny. Is it impenetrable?"

Yun Chan pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty's words are very true. There are not a few slaves in this palace who do wrong things and are often beaten and scolded by their masters, but that nanny is also a slave. Since she doesn't have the slightest bit of empathy, it's true. It shouldn't be."

The two were talking, but there was a rush of footsteps behind them.

Wanyu looked back in doubt, saw Linlan staggering and followed, and suddenly knelt down and said to Wanyu: "My servant, thank you, Madam Wanbi, for saving me. I will never forget my great kindness."

Wan Yu smiled disapprovingly, raised her hand and said: "Get up, you have to be more diligent when you go back to work in the future, don't let others catch your mistakes."

Wanyu turned around and wanted to leave, but she heard Lin Lan say again in a deep voice: "Mistress Wan is kind-hearted, and I hope she can save the servants from the fire."

Only then did she stare at Lin Lan's face carefully, and she was a little surprised for a while and said, "You are... the maid who was chosen by the Queen to serve in Kunning Palace in the House of Internal Affairs that day?"

Seeing that Wanyu remembered herself, Linlan kowtowed repeatedly in surprise, "I'm so grateful for the lowly body of a servant, I'm so worried!"

Wanyu ordered Yun Chan to help Lin Lan get up, and then asked softly, "You have only been in the empress's palace for a month, why were you sent to Xinzheku as a punishment? But the inappropriate handling of the matter annoyed the empress?"

Lin Lan replied gracefully: "That day when the emperor came up to Kunning Palace for dinner, he had a few words with his servants. The Empress was probably angry because of this, so she sent the servants to Xinzheku."

Yun Chan frowned unknowingly, glanced at Lin Lan, and immediately said to Wan Yu: "The maid and eunuch serving in the palace will inevitably meet the emperor face to face. If the emperor has something to order, naturally If you want to ask the maid to do it, if you don't talk to the maid, how can you serve properly?"

Wan Lai held her arms together, signaling her to be cautious.After Yun Chan stopped speaking, she said: "Since the empress punished you to enter the treasury of Xin Zhe, this palace will not disobey her wishes. Now that you are on duty here, it is inevitable that you will suffer some grievances. But in this palace, Which palace man has no grievances in his heart?"

"My concubine Wan clearly learned that it's not that my slaves can't bear grievances. It's just that the slaves obeyed my mother's order and beat the mother ten lashes. If the slaves return to Xinzheku, the mothers will be avenged and will not leave the slaves alive. " She said, then bent down and knelt down to worship: "Please be kind to your mother, and save the life of this servant!"

It was only then that Wanyu understood why Lin Lan didn't show any affection when she whipped the nun just now, wishing she could kill her with the whip penetrating into the flesh.With this kind of thought, he didn't keep a way out for himself, and this was what Wannai ordered her to do. Seeing how pitiful she is now, if she had any sympathy, she would take her in.

Wan Lai smiled, shook her head and asked, "Are you plotting against me?"

Lin Lan froze for a moment, the wind brushed her messy hair, sticking to her face with sweat, she was extremely embarrassed: "Slaves, how dare you plot against your mother? Slaves are forced to enter the palace because of their families. Save your life!" She took two steps forward, grasping the hem of Wanyu's clothes and shaking it lightly, as if she was holding onto a life-saving straw, she refused to let go for a long time: "This servant has no heart to blame the empress, but also to sin against Xin Zhe Ku's mother-in-law is now at a loss. If the mother is willing to show mercy, the slaves and servants will repay the mother as cows and horses!"

Wan Lai looked at her coldly, feeling a little pity in her heart.

There are many poor people in the Forbidden City. I have such a background, and I have to be on guard against other people's plots every day, let alone a lonely and helpless low-level court lady like Lin Lan?
She glanced at Yun Chan, who was serving beside her. She helped her when she was desperate that day, and it is a blessing to have such a servant now.

The Linlan she saw had a different temperament from Yunchan, she would fight for her own life, and when she was beating the nanny just now, she also had a viciousness that Yunchan didn't have.

She suddenly felt that in the Forbidden City of Nuoda, she also had to have such a temperamental person to serve beside her.

She and Yun Chan looked at each other and smiled at each other.Yun Chan supported her and turned to leave. After walking further away, Lin Lan kowtowed heavily behind her, and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, for today's matter, I would like to thank Madam Wanbi for your help. May everything go smoothly in the future, Yongxiang Ankang!"

Wanyu chuckled, walked forward, and said lightly behind her: "Since I want to serve my palace, why not come quickly. Is it not enough to kneel on the ground for so long? If you hurt your knee , how can you work as an errand in Changchun Palace in this palace?"

Lin Lan felt unconfident when she heard this, and only when Yun Chan turned her head and gave her a wink, she went mad with joy and kowtowed to Wan Yu, hurriedly thanked her and stood up to follow Wan Yu's footsteps.
