The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 713

The breath of Ning Xixiang in the hall was light and pleasant, and a thin lavender-blue mist rose indistinctly, covering her graceful face, making her appearance even more beautiful.

She went into the plum blossom crisps on the case, and said leisurely: "The elder prince is afraid that the prince will not get close to him, and the mother's family who had a little status in the previous dynasty would like to replace him. Your elder brother is straight Your third brother is a martial idiot who doesn't understand pen and ink and only likes fists and feet. Er Niang feels that the more this is the case, the more you should stand behind your second brother at this moment and help him wholeheartedly."

"Assist him?" Yinzhen frowned puzzled and said, "If the son assists the second elder brother at this moment, he will be an enemy of the elder brother and the third elder brother in an open and aboveboard manner, and stand in a party. If he wants to stay out of it in the future, it will be difficult."

Wan Lai patted the crispy powder left on her palm, took another sip of milk tea, and said, "You are a person who was born into trouble, how can you expect to stay out of it? You helped your second elder brother to be the director, and you have done a good job. It was you who helped me. If you don’t do well, your Huang Ama will only say that your second brother is incompetent. No matter what, you can be honored in front of your Huang Ama. There are always unpredictable things in the world, Er Niang said In an unlucky word, if your Huang Ama is as short-lived as the late emperor, in three to five years, when the crown prince ascends the throne, even though you are not the emperor, you can always end well."

Her voice weakened, and she leaned close to Yinzhen's ear and murmured: "If your Empress Ama lives long and you gain the trust of the prince, won't it be very easy to stumbling him secretly in the future?"

After hearing this, Yinzhen thought about it for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "My son, thank you for your advice. My son understands what to do."

Wan Yu looked at him approvingly, and said: "Remember, guard against arrogance and impetuosity in everything, and be calm and patient, and you will become a great weapon."

That day when Yinzhen was sent away, news came from the respect room that Wanyan was the night attendant.

Shuangruo added makeup for her, and because she had something in mind, she only asked after the makeup was done: "Your Majesty talked so much with the fourth elder brother during the day, wouldn't it make him more ambitious for the throne?"

"Do you think he won't do it if I don't tell you?" Wanyu looked at herself in the mirror, put a Hehe Erxian step on her hair, and said calmly: "Sooner or later, I can't stop it. Why don't you point out the way for him, and avoid troubles."

"Your Majesty is willing to teach the fourth elder brother, so why don't you give advice to our tenth elder brother?" Shuang Ruo was a little puzzled, "He is also a very intelligent child, and this servant sees that there is no need for the fourth elder brother."

Wan Yu smiled wryly, and said: "I only hope that Yin can live as he likes, be safe and happy. The fourth elder brother yearns for power and position, that is his own choice and no one forces him. But Yin is different. Or he is still young, and I really don't want to involve him in those intrigues."

Shuang Ruo said: "Your Majesty is not wrong to think so. It's just that your Majesty wants Si Elder Brother to assist the Crown Prince, but the slaves don't understand what it means. Now that the Crown Prince has no real power, how do you want Si Elder Brother to assist and show favor?"

"He doesn't have it now, but it doesn't mean he won't have it in the future. And after that, it will be here soon." Wanyu took Xingdian powder made of magnolia flowers and sprinkled it on herself, took a deep breath, and said with a happy expression: "The beginning of the year The emperor ordered Galdan to come to the alliance, but Galdan failed to resist, and instead sent troops to invade Khalkha. This action angered the emperor, and he decided to lure him to the south to fight and annihilate him. Most of the previous courts are discussing this matter in secret , this time to challenge Galdan again, according to the emperor's temperament, he will definitely conquer it himself. This battle will not be able to tell the winner after a year or so, how will the court affairs be dealt with at that time? Shouldn't they be rushed to the front line every day, waiting for the emperor to approve the papers?"

Shuang Ruo was startled and said, "Your Majesty, what you mean is that the Emperor will order the Crown Prince to act as an agent of state affairs?"

"It's not yes, it's definitely." Wanyu sneered and said firmly: "The troubles in the previous dynasty were only caused by the emperor's ambiguous attitude towards the crown prince. This Palace has already spoken to the emperor. If we want to settle the criticism, we have no choice but to treat the crown prince seriously and let him go. How old is the prince now? What's wrong with being in his early twenties?"

While talking with Shuangruo, a respectful voice came from outside the door: "Is the empress free?"

Shuangruo thought that it was the Jin ceremony that urged Wanyu to get on the Luanming Cheng'en sedan chair to go to Qianqing Palace, so she shouted: "It's still early, what's your hurry, monkey?"

Jinli said injustice: "My aunt misunderstood the servant, and the doctor Bai came to look for her and said that she had something important to tell the empress."

What can Bai Changqing do at this time?
Wanyu was surprised and ordered people to come in and answer.

Unexpectedly, Bai Changqing knelt down on the ground when he saw Wanyu, "I have committed a crime, so please punish me."

Wan Yu frowned at him, making him stand up and reply: "What's wrong?"

Bai Changqing knelt down, buried his head even lower, and said guiltily, "I'm a fool, and I've been tricked by others. I'm afraid... I'm afraid there will be something wrong with the death of the Concubine De."

"What did you say?" Wan Yu's heart twitched, and she said sharply, "I've explained it!"

"The medicine that Empress Defei ate is a good medicine for treating ghost face sores. However... However, Empress Defei's diet has been tampered with, and a huge amount of fig powder has been added, and it has been blended very well. , even if it is inspected by the internal supervisor who tasted food, it is extremely difficult to find out."

Bai Changqing wiped off his sweat, and said bravely: "The ghost face sore is the most forbidden to use this flavor, not to mention that it will conflict with the soup and medicine you eat, and it will aggravate the progress of the disease. The disease of the empress cannot be seen, so the doors and windows of Yonghe Palace It should be avoided, but "Bai Changqing's words stopped abruptly, and she got up suddenly and walked to Wanyan's bed.

That was the bed that Lin Lan used to sleep on, and she fell asleep every day after she moved to Yonghe Palace.

But when Bai Changqing took out a bronze mirror from his cuff and hung it on a silver hook behind the curtain, Wan Lai was startled and said, "What are you doing?"

Bai Changqing didn't answer, but went to the Ling window and opened the Ling window slightly.

The setting sun sprinkled stars and mottled light into the hall, refracted by the mirror in front of the dressing table, and hit the mirror behind the curtain directly.And the beam of light scattered by the mirror was falling impartially on the warm pillow on the couch.

Seeing that the light reflected by the mirror was much brighter than the faint light coming in through the rhombus window, Wan Yu hurriedly asked, "Why?"

Bai Changqing took off the bronze mirror and handed it to Wanyu, explaining: "This is not an ordinary bronze mirror, but a strong light mirror that has been processed by the craftsmen of the manufacturing office."

"What a meticulous thought!" Wan Yu threw the bronze mirror to the ground and said angrily, "How did you know about this?"

Bai Changqing timidly replied: "Fu'er, the palace maid who served the concubine De concubine in the past, came to find the minister in the afternoon, and only said that everything was instigated by Concubine Hui.

"What about the lady in the palace?"

Bai Changqing shook his head and sighed: "People have already taken poison, and they died before they finished speaking."
