Chapter 298 Aftercare

After that day, when He Gong heard about this shocking change, everyone was furious, especially the Rong concubine Ma Jiaxiuyan, who was deeply saddened by the death of Changsheng. Now that she knew that the person behind the scenes was Xi Wei, how could she let it go? she?
When Xi Yu Ling Chi was executed, she almost spent all her savings, bribed the execution officials, took Ling Chi's knife, and scraped dozens of knives on Xi Yu's beautiful face until she passed out, and even more Splashing her face with salt water caused her to die of pain. ①
The Punishment Department came to report that Xi Yu couldn't bear the punishment and had passed away. Before he died, he was still talking about his child who had never seen the world.

The emperor was furious and refused to allow Xi Yu to be buried, but moved her to the wilderness where her corpse was left to be eaten by wild wolves and dogs.

He ordered the ceremonial officials to withdraw her inscriptions and treasure tops, so that the historians could no longer remember her, and they were not allowed to go to the harem to honor her and offer sacrifices.

The emperor's decree of copying and beheading the whole family has not yet been drafted and issued, but it first spread to the ears of the empress dowager.

The empress dowager only Dao Xihua's grandfather Li Yongfang was the first Ming general to surrender after the Jin Dynasty, and he made many military exploits during the reigns of Taizu and Taizong.Taizu Emperor Nurhachi even commended his loyalty, and ordered the daughter of Bel Abatay to marry Li Yongfang as his wife, and named him "Fuxi forehead consort".His father, Gang Atai, served as the chief military officer of the Xuanfu with the court, commanding [-] soldiers and horses, and suddenly the crimes of the harem women involved the former court, which always aroused criticism.And now it's the time of war with Wu Sangui, when employing people, how can you be a beauty's wrath and harm the government?
The emperor pondered for a long time, and finally listened to the empress dowager's persuasion, dispelling the idea of ​​killing Xi Yu's family.

On August 16, the 27th year of Kangxi, An concubine Li Xihua was convicted and executed.

So far, during Kangxi's reign, the daughters of the Li family were no longer allowed to enter the palace for draft.

On that day, Yin Zhu had meritorious service because of her debut as Xi Wei, although she participated in many things, but in the end the emperor still pardoned her capital crime, and sent her to Xin Zhe Ku with only [-] sticks to make an example.

This day the golden wind was refreshing, and after paying his respects to Yikun Palace, Yide left Wanyu and Rongyue alone to gossip.

During this period, Wanyu held the hands of the two of them with emotion, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, no one in this palace will harm us."

Rong Yue nodded and smiled slightly, her eyes were clear but somewhat desolate, she looked towards the autumn leaves outside the hall.

Back in the palace, Lian Xin poured out a pot of Biluochun, poured new tea for Rong Yue with a big smile on her face: "Except for being a treacherous and sycophant, the empress has avenged her revenge, and her complexion has improved a lot."

Rong Yue stared at the gurgling tea, and said indifferently: "I'm just a fool, thinking that I can really take advantage of my weaknesses to blackmail me. Let's see how much I can do."

Lian Xin smiled and said: "She won't know until she dies, Yin Zhu has long been our intimate person."

"The disaster is imminent, how can there be no reason not to take off separately?" Rong Yue picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, shook her head and sighed: "She is gone, and she has offended all the concubines with status in the palace. Thinking that I am good at calculating, there is still a way to survive."

"It's also good for the empress to plan. I ordered my maidservant to talk to Yin Zhu early in the morning, asking her to know how to judge the situation and protect herself, so as not to cause something to happen in the future and end up in the same miserable end as Concubine An."

Rong Yue chose a grape that was offered on the table to eat, and said happily: "Actually, Concubine An should be grateful to the fate of tricking people, but in the end it was Yide who got the position of queen. If it was my palace, how could she die? as lightweight."

Lian Xin giggled, her dark eyes rolled around, and she whispered: "That Ling Chi is already considered torture, not to mention having Concubine Rong who bears a grudge, she must have suffered a lot before she died."

"Torture?" Rong Yue raised his eyebrows and sneered: "When Xibo, the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty, was imprisoned in Yuli, Xibo's son Bo Yikao was held hostage in the capital of Yin and served as a coachman for King Zhou. "Cook it into soup" in the pot and give it to Xibo. Xibo didn't know it was human meat soup, so he ate it. If I were the palace, I would follow suit, order her to cook in a hot pan, fry it in an oil pan, and then give it to Xibo Her self-sufficient Ama ate it. This can be regarded as ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes, and it is her best destination."

Although Lian Xin knew that Rong Yue had poisoned Yin Zhu, but hearing her say this with her own ears, she couldn't help feeling sick in her stomach.

After a while, he changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty is only one step away from the back seat, let's"

"That's all." Rong Yue shook her head to stop her words, straightened her face and said: "The empress and Wan'er treat me well, and seeing that there is no one in this palace who can harm us, so don't think about it. .Actually, what about the empress, what about the noble concubine? As long as you know how to use the means and keep yourself safe, it will be great. If you end up like the empress Renxiao, who is scheming until death without knowing it, it's really pitiful."

Lian Xin nodded, at this time Que Zhen came to report, saying that it was Xin Zhe Ku Yinzhu who was begging to see Rong Yue.

Rong Yue silently nodded, raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lian Xin, Lian Xin retreated knowingly.

Not long after, Yinzhu entered with bumpy steps.She suffered [-] severe injuries to her back hip, and it is always difficult for her to move while the injury has not healed.Seeing Rong Yue, Fang wanted to kneel down to pay her respects, but Rong Yue waved her hand calmly to avoid her courtesy: "You still have injuries on your body, so let's excuse you. If you weren't willing to help me, Concubine An started talking nonsense , how can I sit here properly today?"

Silver Zhu Fuli thanked you, sighed slightly and said: "The imperial concubine is a noble concubine, how do you know the sufferings of the slaves in Xinzheku? I only hope that the empress will save the slaves from the endless hell earlier, and the slaves will serve you properly. Empress's side."

Rong Yue looked at her carefully, then smiled and said: "That's natural, you protect me, and I also remember you. When the limelight passes, I will rescue you. Don't worry, I will soon You will be free."

When Lian Xin re-entered, she held a steaming bowl of 'Donkey-hide Jiao Xueyan Sweet Soup' on the table, Rong Yue picked it up, stirred it in the soup with a jade spoon, and was about to serve it, when the movement of her hand He paused for a moment, raised his eyebrows and asked Yin Zhu: "You didn't get any good from being with Concubine An in the past, did you?"

Saying that, he handed the bowl of soup to Lian Xin, and said: "This donkey-hide gelatin blood swallow is the best thing for clotting blood and healing injuries. You can let Yinzhu take it, and the injuries will heal quickly."

Lianxin made a promise, and brought the soup to Yinzhu. Yinzhu sniffed the strong fragrance, looked at the bowl of bright red and swallowed unconsciously, but the man followed the rules and politely refused: "This is your mother's food. can"

Lian Xin lightly shrugged her shoulders and smiled, and said somewhat complacently: "You can use it with peace of mind. From now on, you will be serving as an servant in our palace. Your Majesty will treat our servants most leniently and sympathetically. Not to mention this donkey-hide gelatin blood swallow. Noble, you have been properly served, even Bao Shen's wings and belly cannot do without you."

Hearing this, Yin Zhu hurriedly thanked En to take the soup and drank it all in one gulp.

However, on that day, she returned to Xinzheku after a day of hard work, and only waited for a rest at night, so she could go away quietly in her sleep.
