Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 37 Linglong Heart (3)

As the saying goes, concern leads to chaos, and this is probably the case with Qingru now. Qin Guan picked up the book without saying a word, and was about to put it back, but when he closed it, he found something was wrong. Strange, he handed the opened book to Qing Ru again: "Ru noble, please see if there is anything wrong between these two pages?"

something wrong?Qingru didn't quite understand what he said, so he lowered his head to look, and he immediately discovered the problem. It turned out that there were traces of being torn between July [-]th and July [-]th, that is to say, someone was afraid of the inside. The recorded things were seen and secretly torn away, and this is very likely to be the one that recorded the Seven Star Begonia!
Only the imperial physicians can do this, as long as they are brought in for a first trial, everything will be clear. This seemingly attractive idea was rejected by Qingru as soon as it came to mind, not to mention the ten or so imperial physicians in the imperial hospital. It's all possible, and who would take the initiative to admit such a thing, besides, she has no evidence at all now.It seems that this matter still needs to be rethought.

Qing Ru thanked Qin Guan, and walked out of the Tai Hospital sadly, she didn't know what to do next, three days, she only had three days to investigate this matter.

Pass through the Hanging Flower Gate, walk a few more steps, and enter the area of ​​the Sixth West Palace. Just as she was thinking about it, a figure came out from the angle and blocked Qingru's way, "If you stay here, my master ordered the slaves to invite you to the palace. In the first narrative."

As the sun was approaching dusk, I didn't know where I was startled. The crows in the Forbidden City flapped their wings and flew up to meet the ancient trees under the setting sun. Why is the wind in July so chilly!

Not long after they left, a ghostly figure appeared there, and then left without a sound!

Xianfu Palace

Concubine Tong and Concubine Mourning were sitting together at the red sandalwood table, and there were several pots of seasonal fruits on the table, all extremely fresh.Concubine Tong slowly peeled a grape, completely unaffected by Concubine Mourning who kept complaining non-stop on the opposite side, peeled the skin and handed it to Concubine Mourning: "Come, taste the grapes that were transported from Tubo in such a hurry. It’s fresh, it won’t be so delicious after today.”

Concubine Mourning did say that her mouth was a little dry, so she took it and put it in her mouth to bite a few times, then frowned and spit out the seeds into an empty fruit bowl: "It's sour!"

Concubine Tong smiled, and ordered Hongxiao to bring water to wash her hands: "I'm afraid it's not the sour grapes, but your sister's sorrow!"

It's really unexpected that in the eyes of everyone, the mourning concubine who has always been cowardly and fearful, and whose surname is Borzigit, would actually get closer to Concubine Tong, with the Queen, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Shu who have clan ties with her. Waiting for others to walk in the same way.

"Actually, it's nothing. It doesn't matter who the Empress Dowager likes more or whom she pets more. After all, you are a family!" Concubine Tong stretched out her hand to let Hongxiao wipe off the water on her hands with a soft towel , there was a smile on her face, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart, she always looked down on Mourning Concubine's courageous and incompetent stupidity, if it wasn't for the fact that she still had some use value, she wouldn't bother to deal with it.

"Huh!" Concubine Mourning sneered and said, "What kind of family, the queen mother will not remember me, although the queen and the others are not happy with the emperor, at least there is the queen mother supporting them, no matter what happens, nothing will happen. As for me, I have been in the palace for so long, why has she never looked at me directly? This time, such an important matter was entrusted to an outsider, and she was given the Chaohuang Golden Order, and she actually compared me to an outsider. This niece is even better, I think the Queen Mother is really old!"

Probably because I haven't talked to anyone for a long time, and my heart is uncomfortable, so I even slipped out some things that shouldn't be said. Don't look at the surface of Mourning Concubine, who seems to be easy to bully, but in fact she has a very small mind , obviously she is incapable, afraid of this and that, afraid to do it, but always complains that others ignore her and don't give her a chance.Concubine Tong is very clear about her, but this is exactly what she wants...

The people in the palace are all wearing masks, voluntary or involuntary, as long as they enter the red wall Zhuwa, they are destined to be with the mask for life...

Concubine Tong regained her smile after a moment of daze: "Then Sister Mourning Concubine, why do you think the Empress Dowager treats a little nobleman so differently?"

"I didn't know!" Mourning Concubine said sourly, she thought Concubine Tong would continue, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't speak, instead she calmly shook the round fan embroidered with double-sided peonies, Concubine Mourning couldn't bear it anymore, she opened her mouth and said again: "That little hoof must have poured some enchanting soup into the Queen Mother!" Don't look at her speaking so neatly now, if this is in front of Xiaozhuang, I'm afraid she won't even say a word Can't even jump out.

"Concubine Tong said in a calm manner, while picking up the silver spoon and gently turning it in the ice bowl containing the watermelon pulp, suddenly heard the jingling of broken ice, picked a piece of broken ice the size of a fingernail and put it in In the mouth, a trace of coolness immediately spread throughout the body.

"Sister, you can't talk nonsense about some things!" After the ice cubes melted in her mouth, she opened her eyes and glanced at the concubine mourning, and then said slowly: "In my opinion, the reason why the queen mother treats you like a noble In particular, I think it is mostly because of the family and power behind her. Although Sonny has done his best in the court and has not formed a clique for personal gain, he is still a veteran of the two dynasties, and the power behind him cannot be ignored. Help the emperor hold him tight."

Concubine Mourning also knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, but she was really unwilling to keep her mouth shut, so she said: "Sister Concubine Tong, don't you worry about that little girl making bad movies and just fabricating some evidence to incriminate Mrs. Xi? When I first came here, I saw her go to the Imperial Hospital, I don't know what she was going to do, but unfortunately I didn't follow her to see."

Concubine Tong was using a handkerchief to wipe the water left on the corner of her mouth when she was ice-cold just now, she laughed and said, "This evidence is so easy to fabricate, don't you hear the words 'Iron evidence is like a mountain', not to mention whether Mrs. Xi was convicted of What does it matter to me, it would be the best if such a noble person can really prove her innocence this time, so that my concubine and I don't have to be villains this time!"

Being taken by her, Concubine Mourning's thoughts also turned, and she followed Concubine Tong's words: "Speaking of which, the emperor seems to be paying more and more attention to the concubine, and she also has a sister of the imperial concubine as a backer. One day she will be on an equal footing with us, sister, you have to be careful and guard against her!"

Concubine Tong's fingers slowly turned along the lines on the sleeves, and after a long while she opened her lips and said, "Sister, you are worrying too much. The concubine Zhen has a quiet temperament and a good character, and she has served the emperor for many years. If she is really promoted That's what she deserves, so why not say it!"

Speaking of this, Bi Luo came in from the outside and whispered beside Concubine Tong. Concubine Tong kept a calm look on her face, but her eyes showed slight hesitation, puzzlement, and finally understanding.

After waving Bi Luo to go out, Concubine Tong lowered her head and stared at the round and plump grapes, her lips curled up, and a beautiful arc appeared on her face!
