Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 146 Hate Like Running Water (3)

In Yongshou Palace, Rixi had already put on the auspicious clothes for the canonization ceremony, and she even wore the first branch of her life on her head. Even though she was as scheming as she was, she couldn't help smiling at this moment. After waiting for so long, Finally told her to wait until this moment, shouldn't she be happy?
The red carpet outside had been laid long ago, and what was surprising was that the car to greet her hadn't arrived. Seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, Rixi sent Lan Xiang to go outside to see if something happened. Before Lan Xiang could go out, Chang Xi came in. Same as last time, he was still holding the imperial decree, but his expression was much more serious. As soon as he came in, he said loudly: "Concubine Chun accepts the decree!"

Since the canonization ceremony has not yet been performed, Rixi cannot be called a noble concubine, but she has no chance. Rixi's right eye twitched, as if something was going to happen, she knelt down anxiously and said: "The concubine accepts the order !"

Chang Xi unfolded the imperial decree and said: "Following the heaven's destiny, the emperor ordered: Chun's concubine Wu Ya and her father disturbed the palace together, colluded with the eunuch and sent people into the palace to do things for her, and now they control the concubine with the evil thing of Qin Luoxiang, The crime of murdering the emperor's heir is true, and now he is being sent to the prison of the clan's residence, waiting to be punished, hereby!"

Every time I hear a word of this imperial decree, my heart is chilled. How could it be like this? She has done everything in a very secretive way. How could she expose everything all at once, Your Majesty!Didn't the emperor say that he would make her your concubine?Why is it like this now, who is it?Who told the secret?

"Concubine Chun, don't hesitate to make the decree!" Chang Xi said with a cold face, I really couldn't see that Concubine Chun was such a scheming person, if it wasn't for him to announce the decree, I wouldn't believe it!
"I want to see the emperor!" Ri Xi didn't accept the order, but stared straight at Chang Xi, at this time she no longer needed to pretend.

"But the emperor doesn't want to see you!" Chang Xi said indifferently, long before he came, the emperor said he didn't see him, Chang Xi said to the guards who came behind him: "Come here, take her down!"

Seeing that the matter was irretrievable, Ri Xi did not cry like ordinary concubines, but calmly followed the guards and left without saying a word.Because she can see the situation clearly, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to her, no matter how unwilling she is, it is useless, winners and losers, she knew that such a day would come, but she never thought it would come so soon
After Rixi was detained, Chang Xi pointed at Lan Xiang, Ah Ran, and Zhao He and said: "I will also arrest these three people, don't let them go." The leader of the guards bowed to accept the order, and waved his hands to ask the people below to arrest them No matter how Lan Xiang and the others resisted, how could they beat Kong Wu's powerful guards, and they were arrested and taken away in two or three strikes. Chang Xi nodded in satisfaction, not only the three of them, but all the people on the list. People have been sent to arrest them, and I believe that soon, everyone they send to the palace will be wiped out. Speaking of which, I really want to thank the list.

Zongren Mansion Prison

Rixi has not made a sound since she was locked in. After some time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then she heard a familiar voice, and then the door opened. She didn't need to turn her head to know that someone had come in. Know who is coming in.

"You're here!" She said without turning her head, her voice was surprisingly calm, as if she was not in a prison cell, but was still her concubine in Yongshou Palace.

"Yes! I'm here!" Qingru stepped into the cell, and asked Chang Xi and the others to wait outside.

Rixi looked up at the small skylight on the top and said: "You know, this is the second time I've come here, the first time I've come to see Concubine Tong on the road, I remember that I was also in this cell, it's really a fate, But I didn't expect that I would come here by myself in less than a year, and the one who came to see me off was you, my good sister!" She finally turned around and looked at Qingru.

Qingru stepped forward on the thatch on the ground, pursed her lips tightly, she didn't know what she was thinking, saw that she didn't answer, and said: "Actually, when I was imprisoned in the Prison Department of Punishment, you really shouldn't Get me out!"

"If I had known that you were such a person, I would never have saved you!" Qingru burst out these words from her tightly pursed lips. It turns out that this is the real day and night before them. The illusion she made, and she still trusts it so much.

Rixi didn't seem to see the fire in her eyes, and suddenly said with a smile: "Yes, if you didn't save me back then, then I wouldn't have pushed you when you were in the Star Observation Tower, and you wouldn't have been grounded in Chonghua Palace like that." Long!"

"It turned out that you were the one who pushed me!" In fact, from reading Shuiyin's letter, Qingru knew that it was Rixi who pushed herself into Dong Exianglan in the Guanxing Tower and indirectly killed Jinxiu, and now she has personally confirmed it It is more accurate.

"What's the matter, don't say it's you, even the former empress and concubine Tong were killed by me indirectly, anyone who dares to block my way will die!" A trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and then she seemed to think of something, Staring at Qingru firmly, he said, "At first I thought I was already very strong, but I didn't expect to lose in the water between you and Shuiyin in the end. You guys are pretty good, especially you. You know that Shuiyin still has your belly. I was responsible for the death of the child in the house, but you still made out with me, without revealing the road at all. I was deceived by you several times. "

Qingru chuckled and said: "That's all you know, then I might as well tell you one more thing, the emperor wanted to make you your concubine, and I asked the emperor so hard to ask for it, do you know why? "

"Why?" Rixi asked, but soon she understood: "I see, you are going to push me to a high position first, and then let me fall down hard. , and saw through my weakness, this move of yours really surprised me, and it really hurt me!"

Qingru suddenly raised her head and laughed, then pointed at Rixi and said: "If I don't pretend to be ignorant, how can I deceive you, a refined fox, to deal with conspiracy with a more powerful conspiracy! This reason is yours. Taught me, I really want to thank you very much!"

Before she finished speaking, Rixi also laughed like her, and then looked at her with a strange look: "Do you think it's over if you kill me? You are so naive, even if you kill me today, There will be people who will avenge me in the future, and if I die, I will definitely pull you as a backing!" At the end, her face became extremely ferocious, not like a human, but like a ghost.

"Revenge?" Qing Ru laughed out louder than before, wiping away tears while laughing, Ri Xi is not a fool, she smelled something bad from her smile, and said vigilantly: "What are you laughing at? "

"I laugh, I laugh at you for being so stupid!" Qing Ru suddenly put away her smile and said coldly, "Do you think there will be someone to avenge you? If I don't even know who you have installed in the palace today, Will I let go and deal with you? Let me tell you the truth, all your people in the palace have been executed, including Li Quan, whom you rely on the most!"

Now Rixi could no longer maintain her composure, she shook her head in disbelief, and said sharply: "You lied, I don't believe it, how could you know who is my subordinate!"

Qingru smiled slightly, and instead of arguing with her, she mentioned a few names casually. Rixi was speechless for a moment, and her expression darkened. It seemed that what Qingru was talking about was her servants who were hiding in the dark. name.

However, Qingru's words were not finished yet: "There is one other thing you don't know. Your Ama, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has been cut off from his official position, and his whole family has been exiled outside the Great Wall. He will not be allowed to set foot in the capital forever. , you are the only one left in your family who is still in the capital, but you will be leaving soon, but you are not going the same way as them!"

Rixi's eyes that were still shining just now have completely lost their expression at this moment. They are really like the eyes of a dying person. She stared at Qingru in a daze, but couldn't say a word. She cut it off!

Seeing that she had successfully defeated Rixi's psychological defense, Qing Ru felt happy but uncomfortable. She hated Rixi for hurting so many people, and even more hated her for deceiving herself: "Why? Why did you lie to me? Every one of us is so I believe you? Why?" Qingru murmured, she was asking Rixi and herself as well, she didn't understand, she didn't understand why Rixi was so cruel to them, she asked herself that she had never done anything wrong to her!

"Why?" Rixi, who was about to slip and fall to the ground, heard these words and leaned on the wall to prop up her body, and looked at Qingru's level. For a moment, her eyes were full of hostility: "You ask me why? I also I really want to know why, you should ask me, Ama, why he wants to train me to be a person without feelings, he wants me to be ruthless, wants me not to trust anyone, wants me to stand out in the palace, because only in this way he Only then can he be promoted and prosper, he doesn't want to be an official who can't get up and down all his life!"

Ri Xi's voice became louder and louder, until the whole prison probably heard it, Qingru did not stop her, but listened to her quietly.

"What were you doing when you were six years old, were you studying or playing? But I had to learn how to play tricks and hide myself from others. Since I was ten years old, I had to fight with many people every day. Trick, once you lose, you are not allowed to eat! Why do you say, this kind of life is not what I choose, and this is not what I want, but since I have already embarked on this path, I can only go on and step on it. Go down with someone else's corpse!" Rixi burst into tears when she said this, this time she cried without any purpose, she just wanted to vent her unwillingness, why did she pay so much and still lose in the end, she didn't care Reconciled, really not reconciled, she spent almost her entire life learning to be a harem concubine, but in the end it was over after only two years!

Qingru watched her cry silently, without interrupting or speaking, and only said lightly after she had cried enough: "If you do many unrighteous actions, you will die yourself! You should know this truth from the beginning, your ama's greed Caused your tragedy, and you caused more tragedies, although I sympathize with you, but I have no reason to forgive you!"

Rixi suddenly wiped tears, and said stubbornly: "I don't need your forgiveness, and I don't need your sympathy. I was unrighteous to you, and you should be unkind to me. From the beginning, I regarded you as chess pieces that I could use. I have never regarded you as friends! Well, you can do it now, I will never frown." Although she said this, she couldn't help shaking, presumably because she was afraid that Qingru would use some cruel tricks torture her.

Qingru nodded slowly and said, "Okay! Since you said that, then I won't talk nonsense, Eunuch Chang!"

Following her words, Chang Xi appeared behind her in a flash: "What is your concubine's order?"

Qingru glanced at the plate in his hand, on which were poisoned wine, a dagger, and white silk, she sighed for no reason, raised her eyes and said to Rixi: "I originally wanted you to be hanged like Sister Yin , but I have changed my mind now, you can choose one of these, it can be regarded as the last bit of dignity for you." After she finished speaking, she turned sideways and said to Chang Xi: "Send Concubine Chun on the road." After giving all these orders , she turned around and walked out of the cell, not planning to see how Rixi died.

"Don't you hate me very much and want to watch me die? Why don't you watch it now?" Rixi stopped Qingru.

Qingru stopped and looked back at Rixi who was wearing prison clothes. The light from the steps added a ray of light to the dim cell. She sighed bitterly and said: "Concubine Kegui said a very correct sentence: Where is the harem? A woman is not pitiful! Although you are hateful, there are also pitiful things. You will become so cold-blooded and ruthless, which is not what you want. They are all poor people, why should I stay here to watch you die, I only hope that you will be a good person in your next life and stop doing so many bad things!"

Tears flashed in Rixi's eyes, and she stopped Qingru who had already walked to the prison door again: "If there is a next life, if I really become a good person, would you still be willing to be my sister?" There was a trace of fear in it that she didn't even realize, what was she afraid of, was she afraid that Qingru would say no?

Qing Ru didn't look back and didn't speak, as if she didn't hear at all, the guard had already opened the iron gate, the gloomy sky outside imprinted on her eyelids, Qing Ru stepped out of the dark prison door with her skirt on.

Did not hear her answer, Rixi lowered her head in disappointment, her lowered eyes were full of tears, she still failed to hear, just when the jailer was about to close the iron gate, a very soft voice came in , there are only two words, but it made Rixi laugh, a smile from the heart, really innocent like a fairy.

"Yes!" These were the last two words Qingru said to her, and they were also the best words Rixi heard in her life. She smiled relaxedly, then took the white silk from Chang Xi's tray, and threw it on the beam , closed her eyes and put her head in, the smile on her face did not disappear until the last moment, people are mortal, but how many people can die with a smile, although Sun Xi has done many wrong things, they cannot be forgiven , but at least at the moment before she died, she repented. She willingly used death to repay the wrong things she did in this life. up...

It was raining, and Qingru stood in the rain in a daze, raised her head to look at the sky broken by raindrops, closed her eyes, and put her hands together in front of her chest: Jinxiu, sister Yin, Rixi died, I have avenged your revenge for you I hope your spirits in heaven can be comforted!
