Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 139

Zhongcui Palace

After hearing Madam Wan's report, Concubine Hui's head slammed, her body swayed, and her entire face turned pale.

"My lady, please think of a solution quickly. The Punishment Division's methods are cruel, and Chen Wenpo may not be able to endure it for a long time."

"For a place like the Punishment Division, what can I do!" Ever since she was implicated and demoted by the nobleman, Concubine Hui's mood has not been going well.Hearing Madam Wan's words, she said angrily without even thinking about it.

After a long while, he glanced at Madam Wan who was standing there: "In the Department of Punishment, there may be someone who can be used."

The nanny looked at her face, and hurriedly said: "There is a woman in charge of torture who can speak, but this time the emperor ordered the interrogation, if there is any mistake in the middle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with. "

Concubine Hui couldn't tell the connection between this, she tightly squeezed the teacup in her hand, the whole hall was quiet, so oppressive that it was almost breathless.

"Bengong holds the lives of her family in her hands. Could it be that she can ignore the lives of these people?"

When she said this, Concubine Hui's eyes showed murderous intent. She believed that people have things they can't let go of, and Chen Wenpo, what she couldn't let go of the most, was probably her baby who was only one year old and still in her infancy. Pro grandson.

"Your Majesty is right, but the Department of Punishment has 72 punishments, and even a tough man can't survive it, let alone Chen Wenpo, a woman. The old slave is afraid..."

When she said this, she glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Concubine Hui who was sitting on the soft couch, and she saw Concubine Hui with a serious face, holding a teacup in one hand, and tightly clutching the handkerchief in the other hand .

Thinking about it, my heart is also restless.

Concubine Hui was already uneasy in her heart, but after listening to the nanny's words, she became even more frightened, and the hand holding the teacup trembled uncontrollably.

"Send someone out to inquire first, and see what's going on over there." Concubine Hui didn't know the seriousness of the matter. If the emperor found out, she would be charged with murdering the emperor's heir. It's over.

"Yes." Madam Wan replied, and after being blessed, she hurriedly turned around and walked out of the hall.

Seeing the back of Madam Wan leaving, Concubine Hui's panic grew deeper and deeper.

Kangxi's cold gaze flashed before her eyes, her body trembled, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

Concubine Hui was startled, and only then came back to her senses.Looking at the tea and debris scattered all over the ground, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If she hadn't been forced to do nothing, how could she have taken such a big risk to harm Concubine Secret.

One careless move and everything is lost, not only what she has carefully secured over the years, but also Yinyi's future.

However, if she didn't take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the secret concubine and the child in her womb, how could she sleep peacefully.

Everyone in the palace knew how favored the emperor was to the secret concubine.The emperor can give her a concubine just because the secret concubine gave birth to fifteen elder brothers, who can say that when the secret concubine gives birth to the second prince, the emperor will not make an exception and make her a concubine?

By that time, she will be completely replaced.Could it be that when she sees the secret concubine in the future, she has to give her a blessed body and salute?

Just thinking about it, a bad breath is stuck in my heart, and I can't go up or down, it's very uncomfortable.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hall, Concubine Hui was startled, she raised her head suddenly, and looked at the entrance of the hall.

"Your Majesty..." Madam Wan came in with a hurried expression, walked up to Concubine Hui, and replied in a low voice: "Mother, Eunuch Li has already brought the confession to the Qianqing Palace. Chen Wenpo, I am afraid that everything will be recruited." .”

Hearing these words, Concubine Hui's face turned pale, and she held onto Madam Wan's hand suddenly, her voice full of fear: "How could it be, how could it be like this..."

"No, I'm going to ask the Queen Mother..." Concubine Hui stood up abruptly, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Madam Wan.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Get out of the way! I'm going to ask the queen mother, the queen mother will not disregard the future of the elder brother, even if I lose my life, I will save the elder brother." Concubine Hui yelled sharply, eyes pressing people.

Mammy Wan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how Eldest Brother will deal with this matter if it gets publicized. The old slave said something that he didn't care about, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace, Eldest Brother The situation is already difficult, does the empress want everyone in the court to poke big brother's back?"

Seeing her master's pale face, Madam Wan took a step back, kneeling solemnly on the ground as if she had made a big decision.

"Your Majesty, just remember that this matter has been decided by the old servant alone from the beginning to the end, and your Majesty has no knowledge of it."

"Mommy!" After hearing the meaning of Wanmomo's words, Concubine Hui couldn't help but change her expression, after a while, she couldn't help but sigh again.

"You are someone close to me, even if you are charged with the crime, others will know that I ordered you."

Madam Wan raised her head and said slowly: "Although what your mother said is reasonable, the old slave has come forward to order Chen Wenpo to handle this matter from the beginning to the end. If the emperor blames the empress, the empress only needs to push the old slave away." Get out." Her voice paused, and then said:
"Although the old slave is a slave, she is the nanny in charge of Zhongcui Palace. Everything is done by the old slave to harm the child in the womb of the concubine Mi. As long as the empress kills this point, even if others are suspicious, there will be no harm." The evidence says it was the empress who did it."

Concubine Hui glanced at Madam Wan who was kneeling on the ground, stepped forward and helped her up with her own hands: "I know that Madam Wan is loyal to me."

At this time, there is only this method in front of me.

After all, what Madam Wan said was right, she never showed up to this matter from the beginning to the end, which means that it is not impossible to solve this matter thoroughly.

As long as there is no real evidence, it cannot be said that she killed the secret concubine.

Madam Wan is the nanny in charge of her palace, and it is not difficult to order a midwife.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hui could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hui felt a little more at ease.

Madam Wan stood there with her head down, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

If it is as expected, after this incident, she will become Concubine Hui's confidant.

At that time, every move of Concubine Hui and Eldest Brother will be under her control.

She has been enduring and lurking in Zhongcui Palace for so many years, and she has achieved results.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and soon a maid came in.

"Your Majesty, the emperor has uploaded that Xiang Concubine will accompany you to Qianqing Palace."

Listening to the maid's words, Concubine Hui's eyes flashed with surprise.Xiang concubine?Why did the emperor suddenly think of Concubine Xiang?

Madam Wan made a show, and the court lady withdrew.

"Ma'am! What's the matter with you?"

Concubine Hui came back to her senses, glanced at Madam Wan, and said, "It's very good, why does the Emperor think of Concubine Xiang?"

Concubine Xiang has been in the palace for many years, and she lost her favor after giving birth to a daughter. After careful calculation, the emperor has not checked her sign for more than a year.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is still interested in passing on the concubine Xiangxiang to accompany you. Your Majesty should be happy."

Comprehending the meaning of Madam Wan's words, Concubine Hui nodded, yes, after such a thing happened, the emperor still thought of summoning Concubine Xiang.Perhaps, the emperor didn't care as much about the secret concubine as it seemed on the surface.

Even so, this night, Concubine Hui didn't sleep well, first she couldn't fall asleep again and again, and then she had a nightmare.She dreamed that the emperor ordered Li Dequan to send a glass of poisoned wine because she murdered the emperor's heir, and asked her to kill herself.And her Yinyi was also implicated by her, and was neglected by the emperor.

Who would have thought that a shocking event would happen in the harem early the next morning.

It is said that the concubine Xiang was hanged on the beam last night, and she was discovered by the maid who came in to serve her this morning.

When he was put down, the old man was so tongue-tied that the maid next to him almost fainted from fright.

Sitting on the soft couch, Concubine Hui was holding a hand stove in her hand, seeing Madam Wan coming in from outside, she hurriedly asked, "What did you find out?"

"Your Majesty." Madam Wan walked up to her with a look of joy in her eyes, and said, "This old slave heard from people outside that when Lady Xiang concubine left a letter when she left, saying that she had murdered the emperor's heir, she was terrified. Don't worry, let's go now."

Hearing Madam Wan's words, Concubine Hui froze for a moment, muttering: "Murdering the emperor's heir..."

Concubine Hui put the stove on the table, looked at Madam Wan with a bit of puzzlement in her eyes: "Mom, what's going on? It's clear..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Madam Wan's face changed, and she said, "Your Majesty, don't think too much, you just need to remember one thing, Concubine Xiang's murder of the emperor's heir is her own court of death."

Concubine Hui was still a little apprehensive, but she comforted herself by saying that since concubine Xiang had made a fuss on her own, and everyone in the palace knew about it, maybe it was God who was helping her, her Yinyin.

"Does the emperor know?"

Wan Momo nodded, and replied: "When I came back, I heard that the emperor is already on his way."

Concubine Hui nodded slightly, clutching the handkerchief firmly in her hand, and thought about the whole thing, but her face turned pale, and she raised her head and asked: "Nurse, is it the emperor..."

Before Madam Wan could speak, Concubine Hui said to herself again: "Isn't it? After leaving the emperor, who can..."

Before Concubine Hui could finish her words, Madam Wan's complexion changed: "Your Majesty, be careful!" After saying this, she cautiously glanced out of the window before giving up.

"My lady, why bother. Since the emperor asked Concubine Xiang to take care of this matter, he just didn't want to implicate elder brother. After serving the emperor for so many years, the emperor still doesn't understand what the emperor means."

"No matter how much your majesty values ​​secret concubine, it's not as important as elder brother."

Madam Wan's words really touched Concubine Hui's heart.

But no, no matter how favored the secret concubine is, it is not as important as her Yinyi.

The incident of Concubine Xiang's hanging didn't seem to have caused much disturbance in the palace at all. She was originally from a low family background, and she was not very favored. But there is also such a ruthless side.

The matter of the concubine Xiang had just come to an end, but a few days later, Kangxi made another explosive decree, which stunned all the people in the Sixth Palace. It is a great honor to enlist the Wang clan into the Han army banner.

When Wang Miheng heard the news, he felt dizzy all over. Looking at the bright yellow imperial decree, it was like winning the first prize in a lottery.
