Concubine slaps face daily

Chapter 278 The Wooden Box

When night fell, the hustle and bustle of the entire imperial palace began to slowly subside. Although the keys of the palaces had not been released, basically few palace people would go out at this time, but at this time, Ci Ning, who had been forgotten by others, In the palace, however, a figure quietly came out from the side door, and then avoided the crowd and went to Yonghe Palace.

In the Yonghe Palace, Yun Xi has been sitting in the inner hall. Kangxi has confirmed today that he will rest in the Qianqing Palace. Naturally, Yun Xi will not wait any longer. Wei and Yun Xi were attracted by a few children, just to catch a glimpse of Aunt Xiaochi who was about to leave the palace.

After the empress dowager was buried, the Ci Ning Palace changed from the busiest place to the quietest place.The people here have almost left, and the rest of them have their own places to go.Aunt Su Ma voluntarily stayed in the small Buddhist hall to pray for Kangxi, and the reason was justified. Even if Kangxi knew that this was not the case, she had to agree, and Aunt Xiaochi, as she had asked Yunxi before, voluntarily went to the palace to provide for the elderly. The schedule was a bit long, but it has been confirmed and will leave soon, so before she leaves, Aunt Xiaochi wants to hand over to Yun Xi what the Empress Dowager explained before.

In ancient times, vows were always important, and she would not violate her oath unless it was absolutely necessary, but Aunt Xiaochi had long since put life and death aside because she wanted revenge, so when the empress dowager forced her to swear, she did not hesitate at all, in order to let the empress dowager The queen mother can't even die.

Yun Xi looked at Aunt Xiaochi who was calm in front of her, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart, thinking how loyal Aunt Chi and sisters were to the Empress Dowager back then, but it's a pity that the Empress Dowager kept herself by her side, and thought she had power and power, so she didn't take other people's attention at all. She cared about her life so much that she decided to solve the problem by disposing of Aunt Chi regardless of right and wrong, but she didn't want to ruin the power that the Empress Dowager had built in her whole life with just such an indifferent act: "Aunt Xiaochi is about to leave! There may not be many opportunities for us to meet in the future, but if my aunt encounters difficulties, you can send a letter, but I will help my aunt if I have the ability to help."

Aunt Xiaochi laughed when she heard the words, and when she looked up, she saw the sincerity in Yun Xi's eyes, her heart warmed, and she couldn't help thanking, "Thank you Ma'am, I just hope that the slaves will not trouble Madam in the future." Since she chose to go to the palace to retire , then naturally I don't want to encounter those troubles again.

Yun Xi smiled and waved his hand, and Luluo brought an embroidered stool over. Yun Xi smiled and said, "Sit down! Now that it's time to say goodbye, we don't have to pay attention to so many rules. Mammy sent a message, saying that she has something to report to me personally, I don't know what made you so solemn?"

Ordinarily, it doesn’t matter if Aunt Xiaochi went to the Yonghe Palace openly. After all, it’s been almost a year since the Empress Dowager passed away. The attention of everyone in the harem has already shifted to other places. As long as it is not deliberately publicized, no one will notice this. .But Aunt Xiaochi asked to avoid everyone's attention. How could such a solemn request make Yun Xi not curious?
"It is true that I have something to report to Empress Ming." Aunt Xiaochi couldn't help smiling at Concubine Zhao when she saw that Concubine Zhao did not change her straightforward way of doing things in the past, and said, "Your Majesty should have guessed that the Empress Dowager left a will before she left. , but because the emperor came too fast, he only made a rough arrangement, and it was all aimed at Concubine Tong. But everyone didn't know that the empress dowager gave the servants a task?"

"Since it was confessed in secret and deliberately avoided the emperor, it must be aimed at me." Yun Xi didn't feel unacceptable to this result. After all, the empress dowager has never been very friendly to her, but every calculation failed. Gong, it is nothing new to want to take the opportunity to trick her before she dies.

Aunt Xiaochi smiled and nodded: "The empress dowager is probably afraid that it will be difficult to entrust the matter to the empress dowager and Aunt Su. After all, the emperor still cares about them and pays more attention to them. The slaves are different. Once the empress dowager falls, the servants have at most two choices, they can't attract others' attention, they can be said to be unexpected, and the success rate is far greater than that of the empress dowager and Aunt Su."

The plan of the Empress Dowager, Auntie Xiaochi, could be guessed without being clear about it. After all, the Palace of Compassion and Peace at that time was no longer what it used to be, and the Empress Dowager needed many people around her, except for the Empress Dowager. The most trusted Aunt Su Ma is the only aunt who serves closely, who else can I choose if she is not chosen!

The Empress Dowager's suspicion has never disappeared. While employing people, she also doubts others, and even despises others. Otherwise, she wouldn't have disposed of Aunt Xiaochi's sister without even asking.Her contempt for human life completely ignited the anger and hatred in Aunt Xiaochi's heart, otherwise, how could she break her oath and play a trick on her.

Yun Xi was stunned for a long time when she heard the words. She could think of the empress dowager's dissatisfaction with her. After all, she was eating turtles one after another. Let alone such an arrogant person as the empress dowager, even an ordinary person would be forced by her. crazy.But the Empress Dowager didn't know until she died that it was her self-righteous arrogance that caused all her plans to come to naught.

"The empress dowager has always acted cautiously, but I'm just glad that Aunt Xiaochi is on my side, otherwise this day will definitely not be as peaceful as it is now." She will take precautions in advance, but she can't guarantee that she will always maintain this vigilance. People can't take advantage of the loopholes, so she really feels that it is her good fortune to have Aunt Xiaochi's help.

Aunt Xiaochi looked at Yun Xi who had always maintained a peaceful mind, and felt comforted in her heart. She was frightened by the empress dowager's action of disposing of her sister without hesitation. Be vigilant, and even try to find a way out for herself every time, until she puts forward the conditions, Yun Xi's actions make her believe that not every master in this world does not take human life seriously It's short-term protection.

"Your Majesty said that the maidservant was afraid of being discovered by the Empress Dowager and Aunt Su, so she didn't dare to take any action. Now that she is leaving, she doesn't have so many worries. She just wants to finish all the remaining things. When Aunt Xiaochi said this, she couldn't help but handed over the wooden box that she had been holding in her arms all the time, "When the Empress Dowager left, the servants swore that they would try to get rid of the empress, and everything in this box is the empress dowager. The Empress Dowager's help to the servant. The servant has hatred for the Empress Dowager because of her sister, so she doesn't want her to fulfill her wish in the end, which is why this matter is happening now."

"Auntie doesn't need to explain this much. If you can come, then I have to thank you. Otherwise, it may be too late when something happens. Although it is said that one learns one's wisdom, it is more difficult to guard against. "Yun Xi smiled, turned her head and glanced at Nanny Xu for an instant, and motioned for her to take the box from Aunt Xiaochi's hand.

Whatever is in here?Not all?Yun Xi has Aunt Xiaochi's affection, after all, so what if she doesn't show it?Anyway, no one knows the truth, and even they have done their best.

"Thank you, Concubine Zhao, for your trust. I'm going to say goodbye, and I don't know when we will see each other again. This servant is here to wish your mother a prosperous future, and everything you want will come true." Aunt Xiaochi said everything she wanted to say, and she didn't intend to Jiu Liu, after all, her current identity is still a little sensitive, even if the reason is easy to find, she doesn't want to ask for trouble, after all, she has waited so long for the opportunity to leave the palace.

After sending Aunt Xiaochi away, Yun Xi was not in a hurry to check the contents of the box, but Nanny Xu made good arrangements for Aunt Xiaochi. No matter how much she could do, she did her best and was worthy of others. Sincerely.

After sending Aunt Xiaochi away, Nanny Xu saw Qiaoying who came back from the side hall with Lufu on the way back to the inner hall, and secretly felt that this time was just right, if it was longer, she might be exposed.

Yun Xi looked at the wooden box in front of him, frowned slightly, and took a long time to open it. When he saw a book inside, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and then opened it to read it carefully.She believed that the empress dowager's temperament would definitely not give things to Aunt Xiaochi directly. This kind of temporary school examination method looked rather crude and at the same time made people feel a little disgusting.

If you don't believe it, why bother to speak, and since you speak, why bother to play such a trick.Fortunately, Aunt Xiaochi's loyalty to the Empress Dowager had been exhausted long ago, and she had no intention of fulfilling her last wish. Otherwise, if she really opened this box, she would not only have to face difficulties, but also face doubts. 'Day a dog' to describe.

"Mammy, come and see what tricks our Empress Dowager is playing?" Yun Xi glanced at Mammy Xu from the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but put the book in his hand on the table, and said with a smile on his face.

Nanny Xu was originally an old man in the harem. When she saw the book in Yun Xi's hand and then glanced at the opened wooden box, she didn't understand anything. At this moment, she didn't think about anything else. The legendary empress dowager seemed quite unable to make it to the stage at this moment.Since no one believed it, why bother to leave any last words, as it hurt people's hearts like this, it's hard to think that others would be grateful and work hard for her.

Yes, the slave's life is indeed worthless, but the slave also has his own thoughts, and knows who is sincere and who is fake.To put it bluntly, a slave is loyal to his master in all kinds of ways because he wants to live better. It is not unacceptable to find another way out when he meets a master who does not take his slave's life seriously.

"It seems that our empress dowager still wants to play this kind of low-level trick in the end. I don't know if she is really old-fashioned or confused, or the good life has passed for a long time, and she has forgotten that there are still people's hearts." Nanny Xu chuckled, then reached out and flipped through the books on the table, and after a while found the gold booklet under the cover of the book, and on top of the gold booklet was the last part of the power that the Empress Dowager had not yet used in secret. .
