The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 583 Three Lotus Flowers

That Kang Changzai is really a hard-working master. In the past, when everyone let her go, she was domineering and supercilious. Now that she has been reprimanded by Wan Lai, she has settled down immediately. On weekdays, she would not even sit on the imperial chair. Stand respectfully.

After this incident, she was not the only one, and many concubines who had had other thoughts have also settled down.

The Southern Patrol Troops quickly sent back the news that Yujia returned to Beijing, and he would be able to enter the palace around the beginning of May.

When Yu Jia returned to Luan, many things were intensively prepared.

This day, he picked up Elder Brother Shi from the Shang Study Room and was having lunch when he saw Lin Lan coming with a solemn expression.

Wan Yu rushed to welcome her to a seat, ordering Shuang Ruo to add an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then asked: "What's the matter?"

"Sister is still in the mood to eat?" Lin Lan frowned and shook her head, sighing.

It was strange to hear her words, so she ordered the wet nurse to serve Elder Brother Shi to eat first, and then dragged Lin Lan to the side to sit in a warm seat: "You are busy taking care of Elder Fourteen and won't come to my palace for a few days, why don't you come to my palace?" Come and say such nonsense?"

"Sister still doesn't know about the Yongshou Palace?"

Wan Yu took the teacup and gently blew away the mist on the surface of the tea: "What should I know?"

Lin Lan was about to say, how could Jinli break into the hall recklessly, when she saw Wanyu smashing her knees to the ground, she said in a trembling voice, "Niangniang, something serious has happened!"

Wan Yu stared at him: "Why are you in such a panic? What's the matter?"

Jinli kowtowed and gritted his teeth: "Kang Chang Zai Kang Chang Zai died suddenly!"

After saying this, Wannai was so startled that the teacup in her hand fell to the ground, and the hot tea splashed half of her clothes.

Lin Lan hurriedly got up and summoned the palace servants. While wiping away the water stains for Wanyu, she beckoned them to fetch new clothes for Wanyu to change into.

How could Wanyu care about all these things at the moment, she just ordered the maidservant to prepare the sedan chair, and asked Li Yin eagerly: "The person who was still doing well before died suddenly? What happened?"

Li Yin didn't dare to answer, Wannai didn't ask any more when she saw his words flickering, and hurried away in a sedan chair with Lin Lan.

Arriving at the Yongshou Palace where Kang Changzai lived, he saw that the side hall was already surrounded by concubines.

Seeing that it was Wanyu who came, everyone Qi Fuli greeted him, Yuwen was the first to hold his chest and moved forward to stop Wanyu and shook his head: "It's strange to die, my lady, don't go in, just wait for Wuzuo to come."

Wan Lai ignored her and went straight in, bypassing her.

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of blood came out.

Stepping forward cautiously, accompanied by Lin Lan and supported by Yun Chanshuang, she quickly entered the bedroom.

At the moment when the curtain of the dormitory was lifted, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

Yun Chan was the most timid, exclaiming again and again, turned her back and couldn't help retching.

I saw Kang Chang lying peacefully on the couch, his left wrist naturally hanging down the edge of the couch, which showed an extremely deep knife cut, and the thick blood that had been solidified was flowing all over the place.

Her face was as plain as paper, and the center between her eyebrows was delicately carved into the shape of a three-petal lotus flower, and the blood stains dried up to reveal a bright red color.

Lin Lan pulled Wanyu out of the hall, clutching her chest and gasping for breath: "Sister, she."

Wan Yu frowned and shook her head, interrupting Lin Lan's words: "Stop talking, wait for Wu Zuo to see." After saying that, she ordered Shuang Ruo to take care of the frightened Yun Chan and go back to the palace first, and then go to the Imperial Hospital to have Bai Changqing please come.

Wu Zuo and Bai Changqing entered the Yongshou Palace almost at the same time, and after about half an hour, the two did not seem to have come to a conclusion.

Wu Zuoyan said that Kang Changzai died of excessive blood loss from cutting his wrist, and the dragon fetus in his womb has long since died.

This remark was not as expected by everyone, and Wan Yu asked: "Is it harmed by others, or?"

Bai Changqing continued: "Put the wrist-cutting dagger aside, you can't tell whether it was self-inflicted or murdered by others. You have to ask the palace staff carefully to see if any suspicious people have entered and exited Yongshou Palace before making a conclusion."

After Lin Lan heard this, she called in a solemn voice to the palace servants who waited on Kang Changzai.After Kang Chang became pregnant, he replaced all the palace people around him, and the only caring person was Fuwei, a personal maid who was brought into the palace from his mother's house.

Fu Wei was the first to see Kang Chang in the dead body, and she was quite frightened. When she was brought in front of Wan Yu, she looked stupid, her arms were tightly wrapped around her, and she couldn't help murmuring: "Don't kill me, I don't know anything, don't kill me!"

Lin Lan called out loudly: "Calm down, with me and the imperial concubine here, no one can harm you."

Fu Wei was still in a trance, it was Bai Changqing who took the silver needle and pricked some acupuncture point on her, and her mood gradually calmed down.

Wanna twisted the silk in her hand, and because she was afraid that Fuwei would be nervous, she deliberately asked softly: "Tell me carefully, who came to look for Kang Changzai yesterday, and when was the last time you saw her?" When?"

Fuwei panted heavily with panic on her face: "Yesterday, after having dinner, our master said that he was sleepy due to pregnancy, and Luo promised to come and look for our master when it was dark. The maidservant stopped her from seeing her, but But she beat the servant and barged in. The servant was afraid that something might happen, so he guarded at the entrance of the hall. When he heard the noise inside, he hurriedly called the inner eunuch to come in to protect the master. But when he entered, he saw the master and Luo We promised to have a pleasant conversation, and the master also said that there is nothing to do and ordered the slaves to leave."

She said with tears streaming down her face: "Later Luo promised to leave, and the servants wanted to enter the palace to serve, but Luo promised to stop the servants, smiled happily and told the servants that the master had rested, and asked her to order the servants Don't disturb the pillow. The servant felt that something was wrong in his heart, and looked up to see that the palace lamp had already gone out, and thought that the master was sleepy during pregnancy, so he didn't dare to disturb the pillow easily, so he gave up. "

Fuwei hid her face and got up, sobbing continuously: "How could I see the master when I got up to take care of the master to wash up the next morning?" At this point, she couldn't say a word, and she was sobbing in grief, as if she was about to pass out.

Linlan ordered Feiyan to wait for her to go down to calm her emotions, then leaned closer to Wannai and said softly: "That day Kang Chang slapped Luo Fu in the middle, could it be her?"

"If Luo Fu is a fool, it would not be unusual for her to do this. But she has been immersed in the harem for many years, and she is best at judging the situation and making profit. If it is not for the downfall of the Tong family, the concubine Feng will be the same in the future." It's not impossible. Now that she has broken the emperor's taboo and lowered her position, and then she does this big thing of punishing the nine clans, does she really think that her Hesheli clan can be more honorable than the current Tong clan?"

"Who else could it be if it wasn't her? Although Kang Changzai spoke out loud, he never really offended anyone."

"Don't you think that this matter is aimed at Bengong?" Wanyu looked out of the window with cold eyes: "If the Ministry of punishment finds out that she committed suicide, it will definitely remind people of the day when I ordered Chen Guiren to slap her. One thing. Women are thin-skinned, and sometimes they can't think about it for a while. The emperor will return to the palace soon, and I will be in charge of the harem affairs. I can't get rid of my involvement in this matter. "
