Chapter 877 Palace Scandal

"This matter is a secret of the royal family, and it is also a huge scandal. In order to cover up this scandal, more than [-] people in the harem were innocently implicated to death. Originally, I was going to take this secret to the grave. Yes, I met you girl today, and it is fate, why don't I tell you girl!"

The old woman sighed faintly. It was just an ordinary sigh, but Shangguan Ning felt that there seemed to be a trace of sadness flowing around her.

"When I was 14 years old, I was sent to the palace by my family to be a maidservant. At first, I was assigned to be a maidservant in the Huanyi Bureau. I had to get up before dawn every day, and I could only rest when it was dark, whether it was midsummer or severe winter. It never stops, but although the hardship is a bit bitter, at least I can wear warm clothes and eat well, which is much better than living at home, but... ".

The old woman was sitting there, her short body like a leaf blowing in the autumn wind. Shangguan Ning always felt as if this black-clothed figure would disappear from her eyes at some point.

"But the good times didn't last long. Not long after, the original female officer of the Huanyi Bureau offended Empress Xi, was kicked out of the palace after being punished with a stick, and the new female officer was eccentric and had a very unpredictable temper. The maids played like kittens and puppies, and we were punished like dogs and cats, kneeling on the ground and licking the food on the plate with our tongues."

The more the old woman spoke, the calmer she became, and when she talked about such a tragic experience, her face became numb, as if those encounters did not happen to her.

"In the winter, we not only have to kneel outside to wash clothes, but sometimes the maids are upset and pour the whole basin of ice water over their heads. However, in just half a year, several maidservants caught cold or became ill due to abuse. Pneumonia died, and I was no exception, but I was luckier than those maids. Just when I was dying and thought I was going to die, a newly promoted concubine of the emperor came to the clothes bureau somehow. Ask me to go."

Speaking of this, the mood on the old woman's face began to change. Shangguan Ning carefully realized that the old woman should be very grateful to this concubine who rescued her from the clothing bureau!
"I was brought back to the palace by that concubine, and I fell into a drowsy sleep for several days. It was a cheap life, but I didn't want the concubine to send someone to invite an imperial doctor to see me, and then gave me medicine herself. That's it, when I arrived On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Sparrow Feather Palace, I finally woke up."

Shangguan Ning's heart trembled. In the Palace of Sparrow Feathers, this old woman turned out to be a female official of the Palace of Sparrow Feathers?
It feels like the truth is about to break out like a seed, slowly sprouting in Shangguan Ning's heart, and then growing wildly, it seems that those secrets that have troubled her for a long time no longer exist at this moment, and all that is left is the house The two people in the staggered breathing.

"That concubine is a prisoner, but she is not as beautiful as ordinary people. I have never seen such a beautiful person in my life. Even if I don't wear makeup, I just sit quietly, and the beauty is breathtaking. Later, I know this concubine. Her name is Ling Yuanyu, she is the daughter of a rich family in Wushi Kingdom, her family was in trouble and she was framed by others, and she ended up living in the army."

Shangguan Ning heard the old woman's voice hoarse. I'm afraid the old woman hadn't said as much in the past sixty years as she did tonight. She stood up and happened to see a teapot on the table. With most of the water in the pot, Shangguan Ning poured out a glass of water and walked back to the old woman. The old woman took the water glass over as if she had seen it, and when she raised her head, the glass of water was empty.

"Thank you girl!"

Shangguan Ning didn't say anything. She didn't know why Shangguan Ning felt that it was best not to speak, so she took the cup and really followed her own feelings. She didn't respond, and the old woman ignored it. She cleared her throat and continued to recall.

"The emperor really dotes on this Concubine Yu to the extreme. Except for the morning court every day, he almost stays in the Queyu Palace, and even the memorials are reviewed in the palace. I have been appointed by Concubine Yu to be the Palace of Queyu since I woke up. The first-class big girl in the world can be regarded as reaching the sky in one step, the previous miserable life is like a dream, and I no longer have to worry about being thrown out of the house by someone pulling my hair at night."

Shangguan Ning's voice was a little dry. This Concubine Yu sounded like a kind person, but kindness was the last thing in the harem.

"Concubine Yu is very kind to me and trusts me very much. The four big girls in the palace, she alone looks at me differently and leaves many things to me. Because Concubine Yu is favored, I also follow the trend. Among the servants, I was the most powerful, and I was young at that time, and I felt great when I gained power, and I didn't understand the principle of being big and attracting the wind."

Perhaps the old woman had been sitting for a long time, so she exchanged her legs that had been crossed on the ground before, and kneaded her hands naturally on both sides of her knees.

"Concubine Yu is very favored, but I can feel that she is not happy because of it. At first I didn't understand, who in the harem doesn't want to get the emperor's favor, she not only got the favor that others dream of , even the most favored in the harem, why is there always a faint sadness on his face! Although I am curious, but the master is the master after all, I can't tell it in my eyes."

"Because of Concubine Yu, my life in the palace was very comfortable, but the good times didn't last long. Concubine Yu, who was fine at first, suddenly began to feel dizzy. Many imperial doctors came to treat me and couldn't explain why. The weakening continued, and later, Concubine Yu began to lose her mind, and sometimes she couldn't even recognize me, and most of the time I was so frightened that I couldn't know what to do."

"Huawu is red in a hundred days, Concubine Yu is sick, and those concubines who were neglected in the past are vying to make trouble. In order to protect Concubine Yu, I was often beaten and scolded by those concubines, but my life is Concubine Yu. Yes, let alone being beaten or scolded, even if I was asked to block Concubine Yu's sword, I wouldn't frown."

The old woman was still chattering, and Shangguan Ning could faintly feel from the narration that she had been talking to, that the beautiful and beautiful Concubine Yu was probably a person with a quiet personality, otherwise, whoever won the exclusive favor would still be so resentful and unhappy? !
"Concubine Yu's condition is getting more and more serious, and the waking time is getting shorter and shorter, but the emperor is still the same as before. Every day, he will visit Concubine Yu in the Sparrow Palace. When the two of them talk in the room, they never talk about it. Keep people, so every time I stand outside the bedroom door."

"That day, after the emperor left, I went into the room to help Concubine Yu get up as usual, but I saw Concubine Yu had already sat upright and leaned against the head of the bed. She called me over and asked me to help her up, 'Ah Yi , help me over there', I don’t know what Concubine Yu is going to do, but I obediently helped her to the huanghuali bookshelf by the wall.”

"'Ayi, go and close the door, let the maids guard it, and no one can come in without ordering', I suddenly felt a little scared, faintly felt that Concubine Yu was going to do something dangerous, but I didn't hesitate , according to Concubine Yu's instructions, and when I turned around and came back, I found that the bookshelf had moved. Concubine Yu was holding on to the wall, looking like a lily swaying in the wind, I suddenly felt my eyes Sour."

When Shangguan Ning heard this, she already understood Concubine Yu's intentions. That bookshelf was probably the entrance to the secret passage, but Concubine Yu's body was already so weak, why did she still want to enter the secret passage? Who was the secret passage? excavated?
"Concubine Yu and I walked to the back of the bookshelf together, only to find that there was a secret passage behind the bookshelf. Concubine Yu walked in first with my hand in hand. I supported Concubine Yu and staggered forward all the way. After walking for more than half an hour, Concubine Yu's face was pale and frighteningly pale, and her body was on the verge of falling, I wanted her to sit down and rest before leaving, but Concubine Yu firmly disagreed."

From this point of view, Concubine Yu should not know where the secret passage leads to, otherwise she would not have to drag her weak body to insist on entering the secret passage.

"When we reached the end of the secret passage, Concubine Yu suddenly hesitated, as if she regretted her actions just now, but at this moment, there was a light on the secret passage, and a woman with bright eyes and cool teeth poked her head in, and the woman called out "Brother Ling, why are you back again?" But when the woman saw our faces clearly, her face became very frightened."

Listen, Yan Mujing's grandfather, Emperor Qianyuan is just a single word "Ling"!
"Concubine Yu and I climbed out of the secret passage, followed the woman into the room, and found that this woman was also very beautiful, but she couldn't be compared with Concubine Yu, but the woman looked very lively, with vivid eyes. It's very pleasing."

"who are you?"

The woman spoke first, and looked at our master and servant curiously.

"Bold, do you still want to greet the concubine Yu?"

Seeing the woman's silly look, and remembering the woman's words at the entrance of the secret road just now, I felt uncomfortable for Concubine Yu, so my tone was not very good.

"Concubine Yu? Which Concubine Yu? Is it the Concubine Yu who is said to be more beautiful than Fairy Moon in the palace?"

When I heard the woman praise Concubine Yu like this, I felt a little more at ease.

"Even if you still have some knowledge, why don't you say hello?"

"However, even if you are a concubine, why did you come to my Chenxiang Pavilion in the middle of the night? Isn't that secret way known only to elder brother Ling? How did you come out from there?"

The woman raised her head with curiosity and doubt on her face.

Concubine Yu remained silent all this time, she lowered her eyes quietly, I was a little annoyed with that woman's attitude, seeing her combing her hair bun, she was obviously married, but she listened to her elder brother's call one by one, Is this woman a wild flower raised by the emperor outside?
"Don't pretend to be stupid, why can't the secret way emperor come to my house?"

"Ayi, shut up!"

The woman opened her eyes wide when she heard what I said.

"The emperor? Who do you say is the emperor? Say it again!"

If my impression of this woman was not bad before, but now it has fallen to the bottom all of a sudden. Since she knows the name of the emperor, doesn't she know the identity of the emperor? Since she dares to climb the dragon and become a phoenix, what is she doing in front of us? It's really annoying people hate.

"Stop acting, didn't you just call the emperor!"

"No, how could elder brother Ling be the emperor? No, he said he was the son of Ran Wuliu's family in Qingyun City, how could he be the emperor? You lied, you must have lied to me!"

"Why should I lie to you? Ran Wuliu's family only has three daughters. When there is an extra son, if you want to make up a story, you have to make it more believable."

After hearing what I said, the woman fell silent, her eyes were full of mist, she looked very pitiful, I regretted my attitude just now, she looked like she really didn't know the identity of the emperor , but it is hard to take back the water, and it is hard to take back what has been said.

"Girl, don't listen to A Yi's nonsense. We just discovered this secret passage by accident, and walked in out of curiosity. Please don't blame the girl for disturbing her!"

"Young lady...".

I don't know why Concubine Yu wants to hide the truth. She is the concubine who favors the harem, why she swallows her anger in front of an outside room like this. I can tell that Concubine Yu likes the emperor. So calm!

"A Yi, we've been out for long enough, it's time to go back!"

But before we got up, Concubine Yu suddenly collapsed and fainted. I was so frightened that the woman was very kind and helped me carry Concubine Yu to the bed.

After placing Concubine Yu, the woman's complexion was not very good-looking, she looked at me hesitantly, and asked me after a while.

"You just said brother Ling is the emperor, is that true?"

I heard the woman ask cautiously, the expression on her face was also very nervous, and I couldn't bear it in my heart, and when I thought of what Concubine Yu said before she fell into a coma, her tone was no longer the same as before.

"I was reckless just now, maybe the elder brother Ling that the girl is talking about is someone else."

I didn't dare to talk to this girl any more, for fear that I would make too many mistakes and cause unnecessary trouble to Concubine Yu, so I sat by Concubine Yu's side and watched, but fell asleep at some point.

When I woke up, Concubine Yu was talking to that girl, seeing that I woke up, both of them shut up at the same time, and I followed Concubine Yu back from the secret passage.

However, I never thought that it was this trip to the secret path that not only took the life of Concubine Yu, but also the life of the girl, and even implicated all the servants of the Que Yu Palace, Que Yu The palace has also changed from a palace full of music and music every day to a place that can be more depressed than the cold palace.

……

The old woman's voice was always very low, and Shangguan Ning even had to pierce his ears to distinguish carefully in some places to hear clearly. Even so, Shangguan Ning was still terrified when he heard it. Was the secret way used by the emperor and the girls in the Chenxiang Pavilion? ?
Isn't that woman the aunt that my great-grandfather took in back then?
"Did the bone injury that my mother-in-law mentioned before also be left at that time?"

Shangguan Ning did not directly ask what happened between the woman and Que Yu Dian back then, but chose a topic that was brought up by an old woman before. If she was too impatient, it would be easy to backfire.

The old woman ignored Shangguan Ning, perhaps it was the events of the year that made this old woman deeply engraved in her heart, even after more than sixty years, she was still a little emotional whenever she mentioned the past.

"Concubine Yu and I returned to the Sparrow Feather Palace, but I don't know why the emperor went back and forth. I have served in the Sparrow Feather Palace for more than a year, and the emperor I met was always calm and gentle, gentle and elegant, but at that moment But I feel that the emperor is full of sternness, the emperor told me to get out, I dare not neglect, I know that the emperor must be angry because of the concubine Yu's private access to the secret way, but the empress is so favored, it should be fine of!"

It's just that I'm still too young to know the emperor's ruthlessness.

I was guarding outside the hall, not daring to go far away, I only heard the emperor's subdued roar inside the hall, but I didn't hear the empress's voice.

It turned out that Concubine Yu's favor was just an illusion. The emperor came to the Queyu Palace every day, but instead of being gentle with Concubine Yu, he went to find the woman through a secret way. The emperor said that as long as Concubine Yu helped him keep this secret, An An Be a concubine every minute, and the emperor will make her prosperous and rich all her life.

I also heard the emperor humiliate Concubine Yu with very fierce words, even saying that Concubine Yu is a lowly military prostitute, a bitch who is loved by thousands of people, and it is the emperor who gave her everything a woman can dream of, but it makes me feel that The strange thing is that Concubine Yu didn't even refute, she didn't even hear crying.

The emperor finished venting, slammed the door and went out.

I rushed in and found Concubine Yu's clothes were torn, even the corset was exposed, I couldn't even find where the sleeves were and the neckline was, Concubine Yu just sat there, motionless, her eyes were empty , seems to be looking at me, and seems not to know where it falls.

"Your Majesty, are you injured? Don't scare your servants. If you feel uncomfortable, you can cry out. Ah Yi knows that Your Majesty is in pain. Your Majesty has been wronged, but the Emperor is angry. He will still be as good to your Majesty when the anger subsides." .”

In fact, I have no idea in my heart, the emperor's harsh words are still ringing in my ears, I don't know if the empress' favor will come back, but I don't know how else to comfort Concubine Yu other than saying this.

"Ah Yi, is the snow kite beside my bed still there?"

"Yes, yes, ma'am!"

I don't know why the empress asked Xueyuan at this time, but I answered honestly.

This snow kite was picked by the emperor every day and sent to the empress' bedroom, but the strange thing is that this flower was only sent at night when the empress was going to bed, and the maidservants asked the flowers to be taken away early in the morning. I'll send a new one tonight.

This snow kite flower was given by the emperor, and the empress loved it very much in the first days, but I can feel that every time the empress looks at this flower, she looks thoughtful, and she can even shed tears when she looks at this flower Come.

"bring here!"

I handed the bottle containing the snow iris to Concubine Yu's hand, and she just stared at the flower quietly, as if her soul had been taken away.

"Ah Yi, you can go to the secret road again later, no, you come with me."

I don't know what the empress is going to do, but I still follow behind the empress obediently. After leaving the Sparrow Feather Hall, I walked eastward, and I didn't know where I went, and then stopped at the gate of a hall. .

I have also lived in the palace for several years, but I never knew that there is such a place in the palace. As soon as the empress stretches out her hand, the door of the palace opens.

I followed my mother into the palace, only to realize that the layout of this room is the same as the emperor's bedroom. I have been to the emperor's bedroom, and although I only took a quick glance, I can still recognize it at a glance. In the palace, who else is there except the emperor? Dare to use the brocade quilt embroidered with the dragon totem?

Even though I had a thousand questions in my heart, I didn't dare to open my mouth. Concubine Yu led me straight to a cabinet, and after groping in the cabinet for a while, the cabinet moved aside abruptly like the bookcase in the Que Yu Palace.

"A Yi, come in!"

 I have no time to start a new article! "The arrogant concubine of robbery" "The arrogant concubine of robbery" "The arrogant concubine of robbery"
