The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 377 Rhetoric ([-])

(PS: The heroine's daughter will tear each other apart and the epic battle will begin soon)
Early the next morning, Wen Yin was carried out of the coffin, and was sent off by the concubines of the palace.

Seeing that Rong Yue was also crying into tears, Wan Yu stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Sister, don't be too sad."

Rong Yue took her hand, nodded with tears and said: "She had been talking to me for a while, but she hurried away, I told her to take it easy, but I don't want to"

Wan Yu frowned and shed tears, sobbing: "Wen Yin is an excellent person, if she goes, there will be blessings in the next life."

Rong Yue nodded sadly, and then there was no more words to each other, they just offered three sticks of incense to the closed coffin, weeping silently.

On December 17th of the [-]th year of Kangxi, the Duan concubine Dong Shi passed away, and she was placed in the small hall of Gonghua City.

Because of the unbearable appearance of her death, the emperor ordered that the funeral be kept secret until the previous court, and only the news of the concubine Duan's death was kept from the outside world, not even her mother's family.

She personally sent Wen Yin's coffin out of the gate of the Forbidden City. Wannai was so sad that she didn't want to go back to the palace for a while, so she walked in the imperial garden with her maidservant.

The flying snow all over the sky became denser with Wen Yin's death, and the imperial garden was chilled, only the cold plums stood proudly in the snow.

Yunchan and Shuangruo supported Wanyu from left to right, and walked to Jiangxue Pavilion. Wanyu glanced at the crabapple tree planted in front of the door, and suddenly remembered that when she first entered the palace, she and Wenyin met for the first time in this realm. , At night, all the newly selected concubines always have endless things to say.

I remember what Wen Yin said to her at that time:
'If I am favored by the emperor, I will definitely ask the emperor to grant me a lot of delicious snacks. Ama said that there is no shortage of anything in the palace, especially delicious food.It's not like when I was at home, my aunts and mothers always thought that I ate too much and had a round belly, which was unpleasant. '

Feeling lonely for a while, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he murmured towards the door: "Wen Yin, have you eaten all the snacks and dishes you liked in the past?"

Shuang Ruo and Yun Chan looked at each other, and fell silent for a moment.

While thinking back to the past, he suddenly saw Xi Cui, who was on duty in Chengqian Palace, passing by in a hurry.

Seeing Wanyan, the man was very flustered, turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Wanyan's call: "You followed the imperial concubine, is this the courtesy to see me?"

Xi Cui stopped, turned her head hard, apologized and said with an apologetic smile: "Concubine Wan is auspicious, the flying snow is blinding her, and the servant girl did not see her just now."

Wan Yu approached her slowly, and said calmly: "That day, with so many palace guards protecting her, why did Wen Yin fall down?"

Xi Cui faltered and said: "The slaves are not very clear, the snow is falling heavily, that day the elder brother was playing in the courtyard, but he was also knocked down by the stubborn stone, the imperial concubine lost her temper, and sent the palace people Drive out of the palace to kneel. The servants rushed in after hearing the movement in the courtyard, and only then did they know something happened."

She slowed down, and said again: "The young master Yuwan who lived in the side hall was frightened, she said that when Duan concubine came out of the imperial concubine's palace, her foot slipped and knocked on the rock, and her hands were connected. The cakes in the bag were spilled all over the floor."

pastry?

Wan Yu was startled, and hurriedly asked: "You mean, when Wen Yin came out of the imperial concubine's palace, she was holding a pastry in her hand?"

Xi Cui nodded, and said with certainty: "Your maidservant looked at the truth, the cake was spilled all over the floor, and it was still stained with the blood of the concubine Duan." The next words were too bloody, Xi Cui stopped seeing Wanyu's complexion change suddenly. said.

After returning to the palace that day, Yunchan waited by Wanyu's side. Seeing that she was stunned and silent, she said, "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for a day, so let's eat something first. The emperor turned over your sign at night." , how do you sleep with your appearance like this?"

She raised her eyebrows to look at Yun Chan, and said after a long silence: "Did you hear what Xi Cui said during the day? Wen Yin came out with cakes."

A bit of suspicion appeared on Yun Chan's face, and she said in a low voice: "That's what you said, but the concubine Duan sent the cakes to the imperial concubine's palace. According to the imperial concubine's words, the two chatted for a while. The concubine just left the palace. Why did he still carry the pastry in his hand when he left?"

"That's because Wen Yin didn't mention this pastry to Rong Yue at all. Or, she never met Rong Yue at all."

"How could it be?" Yun Chan asked in surprise, "Then why would the imperial concubine want it?"

Wan Lai's expression became solemn, and she ordered: "Go and quietly find Dai Jiayu Wan from Chengqian Palace, I have some matters to ask her personally."

They searched for it for half a day, and at dusk, they saw Yuwan entering the room with a panicked expression.

Seeing Wanyu, her hands were cramped behind her back, she couldn't help rubbing the corners of her clothes, she even forgot the rules, just stood there like this, and didn't ask for mercy.

With a warm smile on Wanyu's face, she pointed to the five-bat low stool beside her and said, "Sit down, I have nothing to ask you to talk to, so reserved, it seems that we are born."

It was only then that Yuwan remembered the number of etiquettes, and bowed to Wanyu, saying respectfully, "Concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine Jin'an."

After the words fell, he still stood there in a daze.

Seeing her flickering eyes and stiff movements, Wan Yu didn't force her to take a seat, she just said indifferently: "What happened to Concubine Duan, did you see it with your own eyes?"

Yu Wan let out an 'ah' in a daze, then nodded firmly, "Yes, the concubine saw it with her own eyes."

Wan Lai casually took a milk orange and peeled it, only looking at the plain white veins on the orange petal, said leisurely: "Then the Japanese palace was confused, and because the death of the concubine Duan is unseemly, the emperor is not allowed to be in the palace. Zhongda held a funeral, so I forgot to ask you in detail. When you saw Concubine Duan fall and knocked her forehead on the rock, did she die immediately?"

Yuwan deliberately raised her voice, lest Wannai doubt what she said: "That's right, when the concubine came out of the hall, she saw Duan concubine falling on the stone, blood flowed profusely from her forehead, and she was gone. movement."

"Really?" Wan Lai smiled palely, and said again: "Let's talk to Ben Gong in detail, how did you see her fall? Did the food box in her hand let go first and flew out, or did she let go after she fell down?" Did you trip over the food box? Did you stumble over your left foot or your right foot? Did you struggle before hitting the ground? Did you stop moving right away when you knocked on a rock?"

Facing a series of questions, Yuwan lost her mind for a moment.

She was already terrified because of Rong Yue's coercion, and after Wen Yin died, she held up a stone and slammed it on Wen Yin's wound. Now Wen Yin's pale and stern face clearly appeared in front of her all the time.

She was so frightened that she took two steps back, and then replied with trembling lips and teeth: "Yes, I slipped my foot and fell to the ground. The food box fell from her hand first, and then I fell and hit the stone. The concubine watched, It seemed that the left foot slipped, and then saw blood all over the ground, and the person only screamed, and there was no more movement."

Wannai listened to her answering everything in detail, changed her solemn expression, smiled beautifully and waved her hand: "It's also a concubine's life, it's too pitiful to die like this. Don't just stand there stupidly." , The winter is long and cold, and I am alone in the palace, so please sit and talk with me."
