Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 177

"Zhu Yansan?" Hearing the eunuch's words, Concubine Xiang's face immediately changed.

She knew it clearly and found an excuse not to give Concubine Tong Gui the "Zhu Yan San".

Could it be...

Thinking of this, Concubine Xiang was inexplicably horrified.

Before she could open her mouth, she saw a eunuch pull out an exquisitely carved sandalwood box from the cabinet.

When I opened it, there was a familiar white jade medicine bottle in the box.

There was a sound in Xiangbi's mind, but in a short moment she understood that someone was trying to frame her.

And this person is none other than Concubine Tong Gui.Otherwise, how could it be the chief eunuch of Chengqian Palace who came to search the palace.

Seeing Concubine Xiang's complexion changed drastically, the eunuch's eyes showed disdain, and he said softly: "Madam Lao, let's go with the servant."

"No, that's not the case, I was wronged." Sitting on the chair, Xiang Bi's face was pale, and she couldn't help but argue.

"You can't talk to the servants about this, so you should go and talk to the emperor." The eunuch paused, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "The imperial concubine ordered the servant to remind the empress, the empress still remembers the old days. Mr. Xi." After saying this, the eunuch's tone contained a hint of warning.

As soon as the words "Your Excellency Xi" came out, a bit of horror flashed across Xiangfei's face.

How could it be, she did that matter very secretly back then, how could Concubine Tong know about it.

Xiangbi's lips trembled slightly, her face was pale, almost limp on the ground.

The eunuch saw Xiang Concubine like this, knew that his goal had been achieved, so he motioned to the eunuch behind him to "help" Xiang Concubine out.

Here, the Qixiang Palace was completely silent. Kangxi was sitting on a chair, while Concubine Tong, Concubine De, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Rong stood below respectfully.

If he didn't speak, everyone naturally didn't dare to say a word, they just waited for the servant of "Sou Gong" to come back.

Hearing a sound of footsteps, Li Dequan lifted the curtain and walked in, followed by the chief eunuch of Chengqian Palace, holding a tray in his hand, and the medicine bottle in the tray was exactly the same as the one he saw just now .

Li Dequan whispered something in Kangxi's ear, and saw that Kangxi's face became more and more gloomy.

All the concubines stood there, seeing Kangxi's face, they couldn't help but feel weak for a while.

Where did this thing come from?

"Your Majesty, do you still want to check?" It was Li Dequan who asked this question. When he said this, Li Dequan's tone was a little cautious.

How many people have been alarmed by this night's incident, except for the Queen Mother, I am afraid that they will not be able to sleep.

Hearing this, Kangxi waved his hand, a look of disgust flashed across his face.

Concubine De unobtrusively raised her head and glanced at the emperor whose expression was getting worse, she thought in her heart, Concubine Tong Gui is really kind-hearted, and she doesn't know who to find as a scapegoat.

This night, she was the one who made a lot of noise.What to say about searching the palace is not following my own mind.However, she is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, and no one can say anything about her, let alone the emperor's will.

Li Dequan understood what Kangxi meant, but he still asked cautiously: "The concubine Xiang is still waiting outside, does the emperor want to interrogate himself?"

Kangxi glanced outside the hall, his eyes were full of chills, before Kangxi could speak, he saw Concubine Tong's body shaking and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately the maid next to her was quick to support her.

"You are heavy, go back and rest first, everything must be the emperor's heir." Kangxi ordered.

"Yes, the concubine will leave first." Listening to Kangxi's words, Concubine Tong didn't say much, she just blessed her body slightly, and let the maid help her to turn around and walk out of the palace.

Looking at her swollen belly, the concubines were filled with emotion again. A piece of meat in their belly is precious. The emperor is here, but she can't stay. She doesn't know if she is really unwell or on purpose. Pretending to be weak in front of the emperor caused the emperor to pity him.

No matter what the concubines and concubines think in their hearts, it cannot change that Concubine Tong Gui is the highest-ranking woman in the harem, and she is still pregnant, so her body is naturally noble and extraordinary.

"Go, ask her for me, she did this." Kangxi ordered with a sullen face, apparently unwilling to even meet him once.

Everyone listened to the emperor's words, they really had their own thoughts. A few days ago, the emperor still doted on the concubine Xiang, but now he didn't even give her a chance to defend herself face to face.

The emperor's heart is indeed changing rapidly, but it also confirms the emperor's importance to Concubine Mi.

The palace looked prosperous and dignified, but there were so many dirty things, and the number of people who died because of it was uncountable, but the emperor was willing to search the palace with such fanfare only for the sake of Concubine Mi.

Thinking of this, the concubines felt a little uncomfortable.But now that Concubine Mi's face is ruined, no matter how much the emperor values ​​her, it will be useless after all.

Most concubines in the harem are seductive, and this face is the most important thing. Although the emperor has some sympathy at the moment, who can guarantee that this sympathy will not dissipate with time?
In this world, which man can look at a "destroyed" face, the fury of the thunder at this moment is nothing but a moment of intolerance and pity.

When Concubine Tong came out of the hall, she saw Concubine Xiang who was standing there without a trace of blood on her face, a chill flashed in her eyes.When he walked up to her, he only said in a low voice: "Don't blame me for being cruel, it's all because you lost nobleman Xi's life, don't forget, my sister didn't just harm nobleman Xi, but also There is a child in her womb. This murder of the emperor's heir is a felony that affects the whole family, and my sister only needs to think about it to understand how to do it."

After saying this, he only gave Xiang Concubine a cold look, and passed by Xiang Concubine.

As soon as Concubine Tong left, Concubine Xiang's legs gave way and she immediately fell to the ground.Her face was pale, her body trembled slightly, and she wanted to shout, but she couldn't utter a word.

She knew that she lost, and it was a crushing defeat.

But she never expected that she would be tricked by Concubine Tong.

Back then, she entered the palace with Mrs. Xi in the same batch, and was even assigned to the same palace. However, this Mr. Xi had a very good life, and soon after entering the palace, he was favored by the emperor.But she has been in the palace for more than a year and has not been overturned. In the end, it was this former good sister who gave her a hand, and she was favored by the emperor.

But even so, the emperor did not treat her as well as the nobleman Xi.Every time she sees the emperor's kindness to noble Xi, she can't help being jealous in her heart.In terms of appearance and family background, she is not as good as her good sister, but the emperor only sees her good.

In the eyes of the emperor, she is just an unworthy foil.

When Mrs. Xi was pregnant, the emperor even promised that if she gave birth to a prince, he would promote her to be a concubine. At that time, the jealousy and envy in her heart could not be suppressed, and finally she couldn't help it. That poison killed her good sister.

Who would have thought that she thought her work was flawless, but she was still caught by Concubine Tong.

If she doesn't admit that she killed Concubine Mi, then the matter of nobleman Xi will be revealed. At that time, multiple charges of murdering the emperor's heir for no reason will become a felony that will implicate the entire family.

Xiangbi was limp on the ground, her eyes were full of despair, she didn't know why she had nowhere to go in just one day.

At this time, Li Dequan raised the curtain and came out, walked up and asked sharply: "The emperor asked: Did you do the murder of Concubine Mi?"

The voice was like a death talisman, and the concubine forced herself to straighten up and knelt on the ground. There was no strength in her voice, and it took a long time before she uttered a word: "Yes."

After hearing the word "yes", Li Dequan couldn't help being surprised.He thought that the concubine Xiang would defend himself somewhat, but he didn't expect that he would plead guilty so easily.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was also reasonable.The poison was presented to the emperor, so it can be seen that it cannot be denied, if the concubine Xiang is smart, she shouldn't make a fuss at this time, and make the emperor disgusted for no reason.

However, even so, she could not escape death.

Li Dequan looked at Concubine Xiang thoughtfully, then turned around and returned to his command.

Kangxi had to say something cold.

"Using this poison to murder a concubine in the palace is an unforgivable crime, and death is given."

Tianwei was so angry that a single sentence could decide a person's life or death.

Department of Punishment

Mr. Ning Gui was locked in a dark palace, and with only a few instruments of torture, he explained everything clearly.

He only said that it was because of jealousy and the instigation of the concubine Xiang that he wanted to murder the concubine Mistress.

Ning Gui's face was covered with blood, and his body was covered with horrific whip wounds. There were no windows in the Punishment Department, and there was a strong smell of blood everywhere.

Ning Gui was lying on the cold ground, tears dripping down her cheeks.

When she was sent to the Punishment Department, a woman whispered something in her ear, saying that if she wanted to save her mother's family, she would confess that the mastermind behind the scenes was the concubine Xiang.

Ning Gui was smart all his life, but because of a moment of confusion, he ruined everything about himself.

This dark Punishment Department is her last resting place in the world.

Suddenly, there was a sound, the door opened, and the sudden light hurt Ning Guiren's eyes, and she closed her eyes reflexively.

"My lord, the empress said, it's time for you to go on your way."

As she said that, she pulled her up, pressed her head and slammed it against the wall until she was covered in blood and fainted, then the woman stretched out her hand to feel her breath.

"Don't resent your servants on the road to Huangquan. In this harem, the only way out for useless people is to die."

At the same time, Concubine Xiang looked at the white silk on the table, full of despair.

This white silk was just given by the emperor, saying that he thought that she had given birth to an emperor's heir in the past, so he left her whole body as a last respect for her.

Decent?

People are going to die, how can there be any dignity?
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Xiangbi's mouth, she reached out to pick up the white silk on the table, and threw it vigorously.

Her life ended like this.
