The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 555
The emperor only helped Wanyu up, and then raised his hand and said: "From now on, no one is allowed to serve in Tong's Palace, and all the palace people will be moved to the Punishment Department for strict interrogation! Release everyone in Yonghe Palace immediately from the Punishment Department, and please comfort them more." !"

When Rong Yue heard the words, she shouted sadly: "Your Majesty! It's true that the concubine did not do this! The concubine was wronged! The concubine"

She was crying hysterically, the makeup on her face was stained by crying, and her delicately tied forehead hair was scattered.

Only then did everyone see her wrinkled face under her powdered face and her hair covered with rice paste.

For a moment, a concubine exclaimed in shock and backed away.

Rong Yue seemed to have noticed something was wrong, she hurriedly lowered her head and tidied up her appearance in a panic.

The emperor stared at her for a long while before uttering coldly: "Your heart and your face both make me extremely sick!"

At the end of the day, Wan Yu personally went to the Punishment Department to pick Lin Lan out.

When the man got out of the Punishment Department, he only had half his life left. Unexpectedly, when he saw the first words of Wan Lai, he tried his best to say with a low voice: "Sister, it's not me. It's really not me. You believe me."

Wan Yu held her in her arms, and smiled with infinite sadness in her heart: "I know, I know everything. Don't be afraid, it's all over."

In the days that followed, the emperor never entered the Chengqian Palace again, and the current Chengqian Palace has no one to serve, and the palace servants who were moved to the Punishment Department went through 72 punishments and tortured, but there was no way to recruit them.

It was because Rong Yue was always cautious in doing things, and no one except Que Zhen knew about it.

And Quezhen couldn't say she was sincere, but after she became Rong Yue's confidant, her old mother was taken over by Rong Yue's father, Tong Guowei, to work in the Tong Mansion, and she only reported her mother's death to the outside world.

In this way, if she dared to say half a sentence wrong, she would not be able to save her own life, and her mother would also die badly.

In June, half of the palace people in Chengqian Palace had died under torture, but none of them let go of their evil deeds.

The emperor couldn't help feeling suspicious, maybe it was Rong Yue who really did not do this matter.

On this day, Linlan recovered from her serious injury and came to Changchun Palace to chat with Wanyu.

At that time, the two sat side by side on the warm seat, looking at the magnolia flowers blooming outside the Ling window, feeling infinitely moved.

"Sister, did the Tong family fall so easily?"

Wan Lai smiled bitterly: "Who knows. Who would have thought that the people in her palace would be so tight-lipped that they wouldn't leak any news. Seeing that the emperor gradually believed in her, that's true."

"But Yunxi really died at her hands!" Lin Lan was angry from the bottom of her heart, and said angrily, "What else is there to investigate? Who else in the palace would have such thoughts besides her? Taking the life of a poisonous woman, why waste this thought?"

"You forgot that I told you that as long as the Tong clan's power in the previous dynasty remains intact, it will be extremely difficult to bring down Rongyue." Wan Lai stretched out her hand to fiddle with the peony on the desk, Sneered again and again: "Since you were released from the Punishment Department, you have become even more indifferent to the emperor."

"I still say that, I just find him disgusting."

Wanyu was silent for a while, and then said: "Yinzhen moved out of Chengqian Palace and raised him again in Elder Brother's house. You often visit him on weekdays. Has the relationship eased?"

Lin Lan shook her head sadly: "He drank Tong's ecstasy, and from the bottom of his heart, he no longer wants to recognize me as a mother-in-law."

"Take your time, where is the overnight feud between mother and son? Misunderstanding and suspicion, as long as you have the heart, you will be able to resolve it sooner or later."

Lin Lan nodded, and took Wan Yu's arms: "Sister, I really like you now."

Wan Yu was slightly dumbfounded, and asked with a smile, "What do you like?"

Lin Lan said: "I know that it was my sister's plan. Tong's body was completely broken after drinking the soup that my sister prepared for her. I heard that the emperor saw her old state in Chengqian Palace that day, and said Heavy words, but also extremely disgusting."

With a thought in her mind, Wan Yu's eyes were filled with tears: "Today Tong's face is gone, the emperor's attitude towards her may be towards us in the future."

Lin Lan also smiled wryly: "Never mind him. I just hope that I can be with my sister every day. No matter how long or difficult the days are, there will always be a bond to rely on."

It was night, and the emperor called Wanyu into the Qianqing Palace to serve her bed.

This was the first time that the two of them faced each other alone since Yunxi passed away.

At that time all the palace people retreated, the emperor stroked Wanyu's face with a tender smile on his face, and said gently: "Seeing that your complexion has improved, are you still sad?"

Wan Yu sneered indifferently: "It seems that a piece of flesh has been taken from the bottom of my heart, even if it heals, there will always be an ugly scar."

The emperor took her into his arms full of distress, and sighed quietly: "The eunuch in charge of Chengqian Palace admitted it today, saying that he took the red crest of the crane to poison the god crow. The reason is that the god crow came to make noise at night and disturbed her." People clear their dreams."

Wan Yu bluntly poked her head out of the emperor's arms, and said in amazement, "Did the emperor believe such foolish words?"

"Of course I don't believe it, so I ordered that the eunuch in charge be quartered."

"I dare to ask the emperor, imperial concubine, what do you plan to do?"

The emperor was silent for a while, quite embarrassed: "There is no evidence, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

"Evidence?" Wanyu suddenly raised her voice angrily, "Yunxi's death is evidence, and the fact that Hedinghong was found in her palace is evidence. What more evidence is needed? Could it be that the emperor wants to witness her being poisoned with his own eyes?" , is it considered evidence?"

Hearing the words, the emperor loosened and tightened Wanyu's hand: "In the previous dynasty, the Tong family wrote five papers a day, asking me to see clearly. If I can't get definite evidence, how can I convict? How can I convince the courtiers?"

Wan Yu was disappointed, and asked softly: "The emperor only wants to explain to others? What about Yunxi? She is your biological daughter, have you ever thought about how to explain to her?"

The emperor sneered coldly, and asked in a steady voice: "Do you think the imperial concubine intends to poison Yun Xi, and the poison will remain in the palace openly? She can order the palace people to throw it into the imperial lake, or bury it in the ground, why not?" Throw it under your own palace wall and dispose of it like this? It's too childish."

Wanyu saw the endless suspicion in his eyes, she was a little bit scared, but she also forced herself to ask: "The meaning of what the emperor said is that the concubine wronged her?"

The emperor kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said in a warm voice: "I have never thought about it like this. It's just Wan'er, I understand many things clearly, and I can only pretend to be confused about many things. The imperial concubine is very important, and it can be very harmful. Brother, even harmed you, and she harmed Yunxi, so how can I get better?" He paused, looked at Wanyu's thoughtful expression, and said more firmly: "You make trouble, and I will punish you as well." I have been fined. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice are ordered to investigate this matter privately, so let it pass for now."

Hearing what he said, Wanyu turned her face away and couldn't help but smile: "In the past? The emperor really cares about the world with a broad mind, so such things can be easily indulged. The concubine is just an ordinary woman, please forgive the concubine for not being able to do it." .”

The emperor twitched her waterfall-like blue hair with his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will never pay attention to the imperial concubine in the future. She has such a monster appearance, and I don't bother to bother with her. From now on, although she is the imperial concubine, she can assist the six concubines." The power of the palace rests with you alone. I wish you peace in the palace, and I will only go to the Changchun Palace and never enter the Chengqian Palace. You just treat her as an old woman who will be raised in the palace. How about it?"

In this case, if a heavy fist hits Wanyu's heart.

Looking at the steady and handsome man in front of her, she was left with endless disappointment and a hope of giving up that could never be revived.

For some reason, she felt a little chill for Rong Yue.

Maybe this cold heart is also for me.

At this moment, she really understood clearly.

One day, the emperor will hold another young and charming woman in his arms and say the same words to her.

It's just that at that time, the host in the words was no longer Rong Yue, but her aged and decrepit.
