Biography of Ilha in Qing Chuan

Chapter 246

Although Yinzhen sent Su Peisheng to deal with Wu's matter, Ilha is still very curious about how she died.

"Baozhu." Ilha called Baozhu to her side after coaxing the triplets to sleep.

Hearing this, Baozhu put down the embroidery work in her hand and walked to the side of the couch, and replied softly: "Fu Jin, the servant is here."

Yilha was leaning on the big ginger pillow, playing with a string of nine-eyed dzi beads in his hand, and asked, "What's going on in the west courtyard?"

"Going back to Fujin, Mrs. Wu should have disappeared at night, and the maidservants who watched the night didn't notice. When the mother beside her entered, Mrs. Wu's body was already stiff."

"Didn't the maid who kept watch at night notice?"

Baozhu nodded, then remembered what the person from the west courtyard said yesterday, frowned again and said: "I heard that Wu Gege was not very good when he left."

"how?"

"People from the west courtyard came to report that when the nanny next to Wu Gege went in to see, there was blood all over the quilt and pillow, and Wu Gege looked very bad." In fact, anyone who knows a little will understand that Wu Gege Shi died of poisoning.But since Su Peisheng didn't say anything, the people below didn't dare to spread the word.

"So, Wu Shi died of poisoning?" After hearing Baozhu's words, Yi Erha knew that Wu Shi's death was definitely not simple.

"My servant feels the same way." After Baozhu finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Yi Erha, seeing that her expression was normal, she boldly said again: "However, Director Su didn't say anything, and this servant is not good at talking too much."

Hearing this, Yilha nodded and said, "Well, you've done a good job, and you must also tell the people below. If anyone spreads rumors, they will be dealt with according to the rules." It is known that Wu Shi died of poisoning.Of course Yilha would not confront him.As for who did it, judging from Yinzhen's performance yesterday, he must have a good idea, so she decided to wait for Yinzhen to come back tonight before asking.

Wu's death was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing waves in the backyard.Yinzhen's other concubines lived in the west courtyard, and they had a vague guess about the cause of Wu's death.Wu Shi went there in the middle of the night for no reason, and it seemed that he was still poisoned.As for who poisoned it, everyone guessed in their hearts, and they were more or less panicked.

Although Yinzhen has never been to the West Courtyard, Fujin has never treated them badly in terms of food and clothing. Although they are not favored, fortunately their lives are safe.But the sudden death of the Wu family made them realize that what they were in was the backyard of King Yongjun, where the women's various methods and mutual rivalry were no less than any big family, and even worse.

As a result, people in the west courtyard were panicked for a while, and everyone was afraid that they would be the next one, or they were worried that they would have something to do with Wu's affairs.Gradually, a lot of gossip spread among the slaves.

After lunch, Ilha saw that the weather was fine, so he went for a walk in the garden with Baozhuqin.Seeing the beautiful scenery by the lotus pond, I wanted to sit in the gazebo over there.

Yinzhen has been busy urging the payment of the debt owed by the household department recently, and many times when Yinzhen returned to the mansion, Yi Erha had already fallen asleep, and Yinzhen was afraid of disturbing her, so he rested in the study in the front yard.So Ilha has not seen Yinzhen's face for many days.Whenever I think of this Ilha, I can't help complaining about Kangxi, who arranged such a thankless job for Yinzhen.I'm so busy every day that I don't see anyone, and now everyone is waiting to watch the excitement and see who the king of Yongjun will take the knife.

Yierha also worried about Yinzhen, although she felt that as a monk, Yinzhen should not pay too much attention to these mundane things, but after all, Yinzhen lived in the royal family since he was a child, and things have long been his instinct , he has his revenge, although Yilha doesn't understand, but he is not willing to stop him.

While Yilha was thinking about Yinzhen's urging to pay the arrears, he heard a faint discussion coming from the rockery opposite the lotus pond.Yilha didn't care at first, but when he heard the word "Fu Jin", he frowned. Seeing that Bao Qin was about to scold her, he waved his hand to signal her not to move.

Because the two mentioned "Fu Jin" Ilha thought they were talking about it, so he listened carefully.

Although the lotus pond is not very big, the rockery on the opposite side is still some distance away from the gazebo here. Baozhu and the others could only vaguely hear a few words, but Yilha heard the conversation between the two clearly.

One of the female voices said: "Wu Gege's death is really strange. I heard that the bed was covered with blood when I found it that morning. Wu Gege's eyes were staring. , it can be seen that Wu Gege died wronged."

Another voice echoed: "That's right, we all live in the West Courtyard, and Wu Gege went there without knowing why. We all feel panicked, and we don't know who we have offended."

"Who else? Look at this backyard, don't talk about being favored, who else can stay well besides Wu Yagege, the niece of the concubine's family?"

"It's true from what you said. Both Fujin and Li Gege are copying scriptures, Song Gege has also been circled by the master, and now Wu Gege has died. There is really no one in the backyard except Wu Yagege. It’s the end.” Speaking of this, it seemed as if he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said: “No, there’s a little Mrs. Li.”

"Xiao Li and Wu Yagege entered the mansion together, how long do you think you have seen her in the west courtyard?"

The other person heard that it was true, Xiao Li hardly ever left home except to pay respects to Ilha, not to mention the people in the mansion, even the waiters in the west courtyard had never seen her a few times.
