Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 206
Once this incident happened, the emperor was no longer in the mood to escape the heat.

It just so happened that the hot season had passed, so the emperor took his concubines back to the palace.

This time, Chen Wenxin naturally went back to the palace.

The incident of Yu Changzai shocked the government and the public. Although her status is not high, she represents the Horqin Borzigit clan.

Yuchang is disloyal and unfaithful, that is the disloyalty and disrespect of Prince Horqin Dali.

The emperor was furious, and he also mentioned that Prince Daruer had revised the book before, and he was dissatisfied with the emperor for not appointing a noble woman from Horqin as his queen.

"Does he want me to set up a woman like the abandoned concubine Borzigit as my queen? He is so courageous!"

The emperor was furious at the court, and that's what he said.

How can any courtier dare to dissuade him?

A concubine was not chaste before entering the palace, and even seduced the imperial physician after entering the palace to frame other concubines.

This is a great shame for the emperor.

This kind of humiliation, an ordinary man would not be able to bear it, let alone the emperor?

The emperor immediately decided to send troops to Horqin led by Chen Wenyi.

When it came to the issue of sending troops, it became a big issue, and some courtiers hesitated, saying that sending troops would not be good?
The emperor waved his hand, indicating that I will send troops to scare them. If they confess their crimes quickly, I will not really fight them.

Seeing that the emperor meant this, all the officials were relieved.

Since the emperor was only trying to frighten Horqin's Prince Dali, it would be fine to send a young and inexperienced general, Chen Wenyi.

It's just scaring, not real fighting.

The emperor was so angry that even the "victim" Yipin was reprimanded by the emperor and demoted to a nobleman.

The reason given by the emperor is that Yi concubine gave Yu Changzai an opportunity because of her own actions, and the second reason is that Yi concubine can no longer have children, and her status as concubine is too high.

Concubine Tong Gui was in charge of the harem when the incident happened. The emperor not only reprimanded Concubine Tong Gui, but also demoted her to the position of concubine.

Concubine Tong Gui didn't have a title, and after being relegated to the position of concubine, she was half a rank lower than Concubine Hui.

Because concubine Hui has a title, among concubines of the same level, those with titles are naturally more honorable.

I thought that this matter would make Tong Jia's family resentful, and many stories would come out.

Unexpectedly, Tong Guowei was quiet in the court hall, and Concubine Tong was also quiet in the harem.

Bai Lu complained for Chen Wenxin, because the emperor fined Chen Wenxin and Concubine Hui two months' salary in order to show fairness.

It can be regarded as assisting the harem for the two of them.Penalties for ineffective supervision.

This idea of ​​money is nothing to Concubine Hui and Chen Wenxin, the emperor's punishment is just a show, they know it well.

Chen Wenxin said: "It's just some money, when did Bai Lu become so stingy?"

Bai Lu said: "Money is a small matter, but the master's face is a big matter."

"What's my decency? Wouldn't it be nice to see Concubine Tong being demoted?"

Concubine Tong Gui once poisoned Chen Wen's heart medicine, Bai Lu knew about this.

She guessed: "Could it be that Concubine Tong didn't dare to dispute the demotion because the emperor attacked her?"

Chen Wenxin glanced at her approvingly, "Smart."

The emperor didn't deal with this matter in the open, fearing that the punishment would be too severe and make Tong Jia's clan unstable and the court uneasy.

He privately informed Concubine Tong Gui of the whole story of the matter. Was he going to demote or punish the crime of poisoning the concubine?
You choose.

Concubine Tong Gui is not stupid, so she naturally chose to be demoted obediently.

To poison a concubine, even a concubine who has status, family background and love, is a serious crime.

So Concubine Tong became Concubine Tong, and Tong Guowei didn't dare to say anything.

I would rather my daughter be demoted to one level, than let her bear the stain of poisoning the concubine.

With such a stain, how can she be a queen in the future?
Concubine Tong has only been demoted to one level, but the structure of the harem has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Concubine Hui now has the highest status, the longest seniority, and is in charge of the affairs of the harem. She is the most well-deserved concubine.

Concubine Tong's position became more and more embarrassing.

The small table came in from the outside, went up to Chen Wenxin and said, "Master, there is news from the Leng Palace that the useless concubine Borzigit wants to see you before she dies."

Bai Lu said: "Does she meet whenever she wants? Why do you want to talk to her?"

The little table hurriedly said: "The slave also thought the same way, but she said that she has something important to tell the master, if the master doesn't listen, she will definitely regret it."

The little table thought about it, and told his master that he still wanted it.

As for whether to listen or not, that is the master's own business.

Chen Wenxin took out his pocket watch to check the time, it was almost noon, did Yu Changzai still want to use this to delay the time?
The death of concubines in the palace must be carried out at noon.

Because the yang energy at noon is the strongest, it can make new souls fly away, which can prevent ghosts from haunting the palace.

Chen Wenxin didn't believe in these ghost stories, but everyone else in the palace did.

"Why don't you just go and see her?"

She decided to go and listen to what Yu Changzai had to say to her.

Bai Lu frowned and said, "Master, the side of Leng Palace is a dirty place for execution, how can we get there?"

Chen Wenxin sighed, she knew the life experience of Yu Changzai that the emperor had investigated from the emperor, and felt a little pity for her in her heart.

She will get to where she is today step by step, and she is not vicious by nature.

Since she wants to see herself, let her end her last wish before she dies.

"Putting in limbo."

The Leng Palace is in the northwest corner far away from the harem. The houses here are dilapidated, and the garden grows weeds half the height of a person.

As soon as Chen Wenxin entered, she couldn't help frowning and said, "It's only the beginning of autumn, and it's getting so cold."

Seeing Chen Wenxin coming, the eunuch in charge of the cold palace rushed up to pay his respects.

"Please concubine Jin An. The empress does not know that the layout of the cold palace is cold in winter and hot in summer, so as to punish the concubines who made mistakes."

No wonder, in early autumn when the sky was high and the clouds were light, Leng Gong would have such a scene.

The eunuch in charge hurriedly asked his subordinates to press down the weeds in the courtyard so that Chen Wen could move around easily.

"Young lady, don't blame me. Palace servants are not worthy of sweeping in the cold palace, so there is no one to clean up the weeds."

Chen Wenxin said lightly: "It's okay, I will go in and have a look at that disused concubine Borzigit."

Bai Lu took out a pouch from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch in charge. He bowed and took it with both hands, thanking Bai Lu repeatedly.

Then he said to Chen Wenxin: "Your Majesty, please come in. It's just that noon is approaching, please hurry up, Your Majesty."

This is a taboo in the palace, Chen Wenxin naturally understood, nodded slightly and walked into the room.

The light in the house is dim, with only a small skylight on a high place, which looks very gloomy.

The small table went in first, for fear that Yu Chang would pull a backer when he was dying, and have some plans for his master.

The room was full of dust, and Yu Chang was huddled in a dark corner, seeing her move her body.

"You're here?"

Her voice was a little hoarse, as if she hadn't drank or eaten for a long time.

Chen Wenxin whispered something to Bai Lu, and Bai Lu walked out, and after a while brought a plate of food.

"Returning to the master, this is brought from the dining room of the servants in the cold palace. It is the meal of the father-in-law in charge. The servants saw that they were still clean, so they brought them here."

Bai Ling would be strangled to death by Bai Ling as soon as Yu Chang was here at noon. Chen Wen wanted her to go on the road after eating, so he could only get materials nearby.

She nodded, and Bai Lu put the food plate on the ground in front of Yu Chang.

Yu Chang said coldly: "Why, you can't wait to let me die before noon?"

She thought that Chen Wenxin had poisoned the meal.

A child who has lived in the malice of her family since she was born, it is also a normal influence for her to speculate on others maliciously.

Chen Wenxin said: "If I poison you to death now, won't I not be able to hear the important things you have to say? I came here for this reason, how could I let myself go in vain?"

Yuchang listened, and then slowly picked up the bowl of soup on the food plate, and took a few mouthfuls in embarrassment.

"I'll tell you, but only to one person, and you let them all go out."

The little table scolded: "Bold, you are a sinner, do you want to be alone with the master and intend to murder?"

Yu Chang put down the bowl, hehe sneered.

"You Han people say that when a person is about to die, his words are good. If the concubine Qin doesn't believe me, then go away."

Chen Wenxin waved his hand and signaled the small table to wait for someone to go out.

Seeing Xiaozhuo and Bai Lu hesitate to leave, she turned to them and said, "Don't worry."

Everyone retreated, Yuchang said with a smile: "Miss Qin, do you know that I really hate you."

"Oh? I have never hurt you before, so why do you hate me?"

Yu Chang stood up from the ground, leaning against the corner of the wall to support his body.

"You haven't hurt me, but every inch of skin on your body, every strand of black hair makes me feel disgusted to the bone."

At the end, she almost gritted her teeth.

And Chen Wenxin corrected her calmly, "You are not annoying."

Yu Chang came out from the darkness in the corner and took a few steps closer to her, as if his body was heavy.

"What's that called?"

Chen Wenxin looked at her through the light from the skylight, she was only wearing a white jacket, there was no hairpin on her hair, and there was no makeup on her face.

There was only a faint layer of dust covering her body.

Yu Changzai, who had taken off her heavy makeup, was as pale and powerless as if she had lost her soul.

"That's called jealousy."

"You are jealous of the girls in the Forbidden City, who come from aristocratic families and are loved all the time. You are jealous that they can enjoy all the glory and wealth, can be reserved, and can be proud."

"But you, at the most innocent age of 13, sold your virginity for a hungry sheep."

Yu Changzai didn't expect Chen Wenxin to know this, and he was ashamed and angry for a moment, "How do you know?"

Chen Wenxin shook his head lightly, "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing about it yourself. You think you are perfect, how can you know that there is no king in the world? What the emperor wants to know, there is nothing he can't find out."

Horqin's Prince Dalu was conferred by the emperor. For a neighboring country that surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the emperor has always placed manpower there.

Horqin is very close to the capital, and even closer to Shengjing, the hometown of the Manchus.

The emperor has always been on guard against Horqin to prevent them from rebelling.

Yuchang smiled wryly, "Sure enough, it was the emperor's trick to receive favor from the very beginning. I'm just a pawn..."

She murmured, feeling that her life was really humble.
