The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 238
Xue Baochai looked at Daiyu in surprise, and Daiyu raised her eyebrows slightly to look at Concubine Xian.Concubine Xian pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I killed Alan who was next to Xue Guiren with a cane. Did you hear about it?" Daiyu nodded and said, "But what's wrong with this Alan?" He is a master with a very good temper, as long as there is nothing wrong with him, he will not punish his servants easily, let alone death with a stick.Concubine Xian laughed and said, "Actually, I didn't kill that girl. She poisoned Xue Guiren's soup and committed suicide afterwards."

Daiyu nodded, not surprised, looked at Xue Baochai and said, "What do you want to say, Mr. Xue Gui?"

Xue Baochai also knew that he could only move forward and could not retreat now, so it was worth telling everything.

"The seven-step heartbroken red and the nine-grade ink orchid were given to Concubine De?" Daiyu stared at Xue Baochai and asked seriously.Xue Baochai nodded and said, "Yes... yes." Seeing Daiyu's interested look, Concubine Xian quickly asked, "But what else?" He died from the poison. Thirteenth brother is now...he weighs the ninth-grade Molan poison, and it cannot be cured."

Hearing this, Concubine Xian and Xue Baochai were both shocked.Xue Baochai's face was as white as paper.If the thirteenth brother dies, I'm afraid I really have no way out, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please help me..." Concubine Xian glanced at her angrily and said, "You gave Concubine De that poisonous medicine. I never thought about what to do if something happened?" Xue Baochai was at a loss for words, she had been trapped in the palace for too long and the conditions proposed by Concubine De were so tempting that she even forgot to think about what to do if something happened to her. retreat.Now it is too late to regret.

Daiyu frowned, and asked: "You offered it to Empress Defei?"

Xue Baochai hurriedly shook her head and said, "No. I don't know how Defei Empress knew that I had these two medicines in my hand." In fact, everyone knew it well. The person is most likely Alan.Concubine De should not put too many spies around such an unimportant person as Xue Baochai.After a while, Concubine Xian also sorted out Concubine De's thoughts, and her face became even colder, "I underestimated her courage! Xue Baochai, do you dare to testify against Concubine De in front of the emperor?" Xue Baochai hesitated: "Your Majesty , slave... slave has no evidence, if concubine de concubine is accused, slave..." Even if concubine de is punished by the emperor, she will not escape death as the person who poisoned concubine de.

Concubine Xian looked at Daiyu and asked, "What is the fourth elder brother thinking?" She and Concubine De were in power in the palace together. Put some useful people in.Moreover, if you want to deal with Concubine De, you must also consider Yinzhen's mood, no matter what, Concubine De is still his biological mother after all.Daiyu said softly: "Everything is up to your mother's orders. If there is anything you want my fourth brother and I to do, your mother will just order it." Concubine Xian still hesitated, and said: "Is this what you mean or fourth elder brother's idea? " Daiyu laughed and said, "My fourth brother and I both mean the same thing. Although Daiyu has never met Huang Erniang, the fourth brother sincerely regards Huang Erniang as his own. Also, this time the thirteenth brother About my younger brother...fourth brother is very angry." Concubine Xian nodded and said: "I understand. Xue Baochai, I want you to testify against Concubine De, and I will protect your life afterwards."

Xue Baochai looked up in surprise, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Concubine Xian said: "This is my promise."

Xue Baochai lowered her head and thought for a while, then quickly nodded and said: "This servant is willing to testify against Concubine De in front of the Emperor."

Kangxi returned to the Qianqing Palace after the morning court, and several stacks of papers were neatly placed on the imperial case.Standing beside him was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face and wearing a guard's uniform, silently handing over a booklet.Kangxi was stunned for a moment, took it, opened it, read it halfway, and then threw it out, "Bastard!" Li Dequan, who was waiting behind him, was startled, and immediately knelt on the hand and dared not make a sound.The atmosphere in the entire Qianqing palace also became stagnant, and after a while Kangxi said: "How is the thirteenth elder brother?" It is not possible to find out the situation of Elder Brother Thirteen. However, Elder Brother Si and Elder Fujin have been going to Elder Thirteen's house every day for the past two days, so the subordinates concluded that Elder Thirteen's life should be safe at present."

"Did Sifu Jin enter the palace today?"

Li Dequan hurriedly said: "Sifu Jin entered the palace early in the morning to greet Concubine Xian. He left the palace before the morning court ended."

Kangxi was silent, Li Dequan said cautiously: "However, Mrs. Mei handed over the book early in the morning. I think... Sifujin didn't come to greet the emperor because he was worried about the thirteenth brother." Kangxi said lightly: "She is just It's just telling me her position." Whether she is the master of Anbu or any other status, Daiyu is still the daughter-in-law of the eldest son Fujin and the fourth daughter-in-law of Yongjun Palace.She asked Mei Zijing to hand over the secret booklet and did not hide anything, but it did not prevent her from helping Yinzhen in everything now.Li Dequan was also not sure if Kangxi meant to blame him, so he didn't dare to say anything more.After a while, I heard Kangxi say: "That's all." Kangxi looked at the guard in front of him and said: "There is no need to report these things in the future."

The guard was a little surprised, he was regarded as Kangxi's eyeliner in Yuheng Pavilion, but he was not a betrayal of Anbu.After all, Anbu and the emperor have always acted in the same direction for so many years.It's just that I occasionally report some things that are inconvenient for the dark lord or the pavilion lords to say.Although the emperor has always trusted the dark lord very much, it is obvious that this matter can no longer be ignored simply by relying on trust.Is the emperor planning to let go of it?Although he was thinking a lot, he didn't show any strange expression on his face, and said respectfully: "I obey." Kangxi nodded and said: "Go."

The guards retreated respectfully, leaving only Kangxi and Li Dequan in the hall.Li Dequan still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, he could almost hear his own heartbeat.After a long time, I heard Kangxi say indifferently: "If you like to make troubles, you can make troubles. The bigger the troubles, the better."

Daiyu went out of the palace without waiting for Yinzhen to go to court, and directly took people in a carriage to the small courtyard where Chen Li temporarily lived near Thirteenth Prince's Mansion.As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Chen Li and Jiang Yuhan arguing inside.Listening carefully, Jiang Yuhan disliked that Chen Li was too slow in developing the antidote, while Chen Li disliked that Jiang Yuhan didn't know how to pretend to understand and came up with random ideas.Daiyu walked in lightly and said with a faint smile, "I heard that you two just met, and it seems like you hit it off." Chen Li turned his face away, and said angrily, "Who will hit it off with him?" Jiang Yuhan smiled calmly, Looking at Daiyu and saluting, "I have seen Fujin." Daiyu nodded, walked to the main seat and sat down, said: "Mr. Chen, I don't know how the antidote of Jiupin Molan is prepared?" Chen Li was quite confused. He proudly raised his eyebrows and said: "There is no poison in this world that I can't cure. But the idiot who used the medicine actually added the seven-step heartbroken red to the ninth-grade ink orchid, and it took a little effort." Daiyu heard that the antidote had already been made Only then did he feel relieved, and the smile on his face became more and more pleasant, "Speaking of which, I happened to ask Mr. Chen about something. I don't know if Mr. Chen recognizes a woman surnamed Xue?"
