Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 237 Suicide in fear of sin
The power of life and death of Yigui was finally handed over to her.

Knowing that she has always been kind, Bai Lu couldn't help but persuade her, "Master, don't be soft-hearted. If you beat her to the bottom today and don't let her die, she will only hate you more."

"Once there is a resurgence, she will definitely hurt you even more."

Chen Wenxin nodded, he could no longer cause trouble for himself.

Rather than letting Yigui linger on, it is better to give her a good time.

Murdering the prince, framing a high-ranking concubine, whatever it is, she should be sentenced to death.

As for whether the emperor will implicate Yigui's mother's family, this is something that the harem should not care about.

Chen Wenxin took a deep breath, and then let it out again.

"Pass on my will, send the third one to Yigui."

The third oldest item is the three items commonly used in the harem to bestow concubines, white silk, poison, and daggers.

These three things are usually given to concubines who are given death together, so that they can choose and keep a whole body.

This is the last decency for a woman who once served the emperor.

Bai Lu nodded, with a slight smile on her face.

"Yes, the servant will go here."

Chen Wenxin has finally grown up, which makes Bai Lu very gratified.

Let's talk about Changchun Palace, Concubine Hui was ashamed and annoyed after being reprimanded by the emperor.

She lay on the couch and coughed continuously, her whole face turned red from coughing.

Since she entered the palace, this was the first time that the emperor scolded her mercilessly, which gave her great embarrassment.

In the past, the emperor always said that she was chaste, quiet and gentle, and would not compete with others, so he treated her with extra respect.

To reprimand her like this today, presumably, it is not to disturb the emperor with the matter of being a nobleman, but to make the crown prince feel disgusted by her, right?
She couldn't help thinking that when Chen Wenxin and the fourth elder brother were practicing calligraphy together in the Qianqing Palace, the De concubine just probed the emperor's mind, which made the emperor angry with her for a long time.

Even when He Gong traveled to Tsinghua Garden in the suburbs of Beijing, only concubine Tong and concubine De were left behind.

Concubine Tong's ambitions are well known in the whole palace, and the emperor has long thought about not liking her.

Later, when De concubine made friends with Chen Wenxin, the emperor's attitude slowly eased, but he was still lukewarm in the end.

What she has done this time is even more extreme than Debi's investigation...

Concubine Hui suddenly shuddered, did the emperor just abandon her?

It was because she was too impatient that she let those officials write a letter to the emperor when they were not fully prepared.

No wonder Nalan Mingzhu himself refused to write the letter, he also felt that this move was too dangerous and might offend the emperor, right?

Although she felt remorse in her heart, she still couldn't show it on her face.

It is necessary to properly send someone to pass on the emperor's will to Yikun Palace, so that Chen Wenxin can handle the affairs of Yigui by himself.

She originally wanted to give Chen Wenxin a blow and make her respect herself.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's anger made her a joke.

Thinking about the people in the palace, discussing that she doesn't know what is good or bad at the meeting, and even refuted the emperor's favored concubine's face?

Thinking that Chen Wenxin was annoyed by the nun who was sent to Yongshou Palace last night, Tete sent her to Yikun Palace to plead guilty, hoping to ease the embarrassment between her and Chen Wenxin.

Not long after, the nurse in charge came back.

Concubine Hui cheered up and said, "How about it, what did Concubine Qin say?"

Now that the emperor is already angry with her, it is inappropriate for her to tear herself apart with Chen Wenxin at this time.

Fortunately, it didn't get to that point. She sent the nanny in charge to plead guilty, and the matter should be calmed down.

The nanny in charge had a bitter face, "I don't know what the concubine Qin said."

Concubine Hui asked anxiously: "What's going on? Didn't I send you to plead guilty to Concubine Qin?"

"The old slave didn't even see Concubine Qin's face. The father-in-law of Yikun Palace went to the bedroom to communicate, and when he came back, he said that Concubine Qin was tired and unwell yesterday. She said that the concubine knew about it and rewarded the old slave for a while." Bag silver."

The nanny in charge felt that the bag of silver was a bit too much, which was unreasonable.

Is there anything weird about it?

She didn't dare to hide it by herself, and went forward to show Concubine Hui with her hands in her hands.

"Look, master, there's so much money. The old slave offended Concubine Qin yesterday, why didn't she blame her for rewarding her today?"

Concubine Hui looked at the bulging purse, thinking that the money in it was really heavy.

She smiled and said: "You can accept this money at ease. Yikun Palace has always treated its slaves generously, and this is also known to all the palaces. The reason why she rewarded you is probably to comfort the palace."

In fact, there is no need for her to send someone to communicate, Yikun Palace must know that the emperor reprimanded her and decided to hand over Yigui to Chen Wenxin.

She has lost face, and it is easy to guess that there is a quarrel between her and Chen Wenxin.

Now that the nanny in charge has received such a big reward from Yikun Palace, it not only dispels the suspicion of others, but also conveys a meaning to Concubine Hui——

I didn't take this matter to heart, we are still the same as before.

Concubine Hui felt a little comfort in her heart, she was already very happy that Chen Wenxin didn't take advantage of the emperor's favor to step on her.

There is nothing wrong with maintaining the former peaceful and friendly relationship between the two for the time being.

Maybe she has to rely on Chen Wenxin if she wants to win the Sacred Heart again.

Of course, only God knows whether they can really restore the former friendship.

At the end of the court that day, the emperor summoned Chen Wenxin to Qianqing Palace for a meal.

Today's excerpts are less than usual, and the emperor spent much less time with her recently, so he summoned her after thinking about it.

Most importantly, he heard that Chen Wenxin had given Yigui to death on charges of murdering the prince and framing the concubine.It is expected that she will feel uncomfortable, so I want to comfort her.

Chen Wenxin herself knew that the emperor summoned her to Qianqing Palace must be for this matter.

When the emperor came in, he paid less attention to the affairs of the harem, and focused on regaining Taiwan.

Even so, he was worried that he would be afraid, so he went out of his way to comfort her.

The emperor treated her with great affection.

She can't let the emperor worry, let the emperor feel that she is weak like a boudoir, and can't stand such a small matter.

In the future, there may be many more such things.

When the palanquin was carried from Yikun Palace to Qianqing Palace, all the palace people along the way avoided far away.

Occasionally, there were a few who couldn't escape, turned their backs and pressed against the wall tightly, not daring to vent their breath.

Sitting high on the sedan chair, Chen Wenxin clearly noticed the change in the attitude of these palace people.

I respect her even more, but also fear her more.

She laughed at herself to Bai Lu who was walking aside: "These palace people are avoiding cats and mice when they see Yikun Palace's sedan chair."

She dared to bet that almost none of the avoiding palace people dared to look on the sedan chair to see who was sitting there.

Even if she let Bai Lu sit on this palanquin and carry it all the way, these palace people would still be in awe.

"Master, everyone respects you because your prestige has been established."

Bai Lu is very happy to see this, Chen Wenxin has prestige in the harem, and these slaves of Yikun Palace will be respected when they go out.

Even the last little maids and eunuchs in Yikun Palace, no one dares to underestimate them as long as they rely on the plum blossom logo on their clothes.

Chen Wenxin secretly rolled her eyes, she dared to feel that she was in charge of the big and small things in the harem, it would be quicker to give a noble person prestige to death easily than to die of exhaustion.

"It turns out that bestowing death can establish prestige, so why don't all the concubines in the harem think about bestowing death on others?"

Bai Lu covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Not only that. The master was able to find all the evidence and investigate the whole case overnight. Which concubine can match this level of wisdom?"

"It's not smart, it's just that the rabbit bites when it's anxious."

As she spoke, the small table came up from behind, and the golden chiseled wooden soles thumped loudly.

"stop."

The little table rushed to her side of the sedan chair, bowed and said: "Master, there has been a message from the Punishment Department that Yigui committed suicide in fear of crime."

Yikun Palace had already spread word that they would take the third child to the Punishment Department before noon, and bestow the death of Yigui.

Unexpectedly, before noon, the Punishment Department took Yigui out of the cell, only to find that she had committed suicide in suspense.

Chen Wenxin said: "It doesn't matter if she committed suicide, I will have less blood on my hands. Let her body be restrained."

Xiao Zhuo went to take orders, but Bai Lu was a little displeased, "How does the person from the Punishment Department work? How could she be allowed to commit suicide?"

"After all, it is death. Her suicide is not the same as my death."

"How can it be the same?"

Bai Lu looked at the sun, "Look, master, it's still a while before noon. It's unlucky for her to die at this hour."

Chen Wenxin suddenly thought of the saying in the palace that death must be done at noon.

Even if the emperor wanted to bestow the death of his ministers in the previous dynasty, it would take noon to push out the Meridian Gate and behead him.

The fear is that the ghosts of the dead will return to the palace for revenge, making the palace restless.

Chen Wenxin didn't believe this. If she hadn't traveled to the Qing Dynasty, she would still be the successor of socialism!

How could she pay attention to these ghosts and snakes?

She comforted Bai Lu, "Okay, don't be afraid. At worst, when Yigui's wronged soul comes to Yikun Palace, can I protect you?"

Bai Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly, she poohed twice, "Master, how can you say such unlucky words? That Yigui murdered the prince and framed the master many times, and she deserves to die. Why would she dare to come back for revenge?"

"Since you know this truth, what are you worried about?"

Evil prevails, and if she does not do anything wrong, she will not be afraid of ghosts knocking at the door.

When she went to Qianqing Palace and talked about it with the emperor, the emperor also had the same attitude as Bai Lu.

He said to Li Dequan: "The Punishment Department's supervision is not effective, how can you let Yigui commit suicide? Punish the steward and guarding Yigui's slaves, each with [-] boards."

Li Dequan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with Yigui's funeral? Should we do a ritual to exorcise evil spirits?"

After hearing such a suggestion, Chen Wenxin couldn't help feeling absurd. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be thinking seriously, she swallowed the words back.

She believes in Marxist materialism and does not believe in ghosts and gods.

But the emperor's letter.

Not only the emperor believed it, but everyone in the palace believed it.

Whether you believe it or not is a matter of personal belief. She can not believe it herself, but she cannot object to others believing it.

Forcing others to accept your beliefs is tantamount to hooliganism.
