Early the next morning, Concubine Qian received the order from Yongshou Palace. She felt very uneasy, so she only took a moment to freshen up and hurried away.
When they arrived at the side hall, Concubine Xi was having breakfast. She motioned for her to sit down and join them, "Sister, how do you think today's snacks are? This is a new idea from the small kitchen." After saying this, Concubine Qian picked up a piece of cake.
On the plate, with a little force of chopsticks, the bright red jam will flow out along the white glutinous rice cakes.
Concubine Qian was about to take a bite when Man'er asked, "Don't you want to know the name of this pastry?" Concubine Xi pinched it just right before she bit it, "I named this pastry Xuelihong, sister."
Don't you think that the white and tender skin of this pastry is just like a young girl's face? When you press the chopsticks so lightly, tsk tsk, the bright red sauce gushes out. What does your sister think it looks like?" Qianbi
There was a lump in my throat, and I felt like my stomach was churning, and I felt like I was about to vomit.
"What's wrong with the empress? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Man'er asked earnestly. After a long while, Concubine Qian finally cheered up and said, "Today, the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, my sister summoned Concubine here. It should be more than just a meal." Concubine Xi.
With a sneer, she clapped her hands, and two rough eunuchs escorted Mei Xin into the back of the palace. Man'er then led everyone to close the door and leave. When she saw the scarred woman in white in front of her, Concubine Qian's hand holding the tea cup trembled instantly.
He paused, his face turned pale, and the scene from three years ago suddenly appeared in his mind:
On that rainy night in the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign, I was drinking tea in Yongshou Palace just like today. Someone from the palace secretly reported that Rui Guigui had committed adultery with a guard and had secretly married her. Concubine Xi was furious and went to Jingyang Palace with her and her cronies to question the crime.
.
Rui Guiren: "I would like to say hello to Concubine Xi, and concubine Qian to say hello. The sudden arrival of these two sisters really makes me feel flattered." Concubine Qian made a gesture to signal her to be silent. Concubine Qianxi looked at her sideways and turned around to order.
Two eunuchs captured Rui Xin and said, "Mr. Du, why don't you ask for your noble pulse!" After the doctor confirmed it, Concubine Xi stepped forward and slapped her, "Shameless whore, how dare you betray the emperor and become pregnant with an evil child"
"What a disgrace to all the sisters in the harem!" Ruixin raised her head stubbornly, "From the beginning to the end, you just couldn't swallow this breath. I used to be a rough girl in your palace, but I was lucky enough to be the emperor.
And the favor is even greater for you. Now that I am pregnant with the descendant of the emperor, you are planning to frame me and try to incriminate me, so why bother!"
Concubine Xi grabbed her hair and threw the brocade bag embroidered with erotic paintings at her, "Gui Rui's embroidery work is done by hand, you can't recognize the handiwork of this brocade bag." Ruixin snorted coldly, "
This was originally a fun thing for me and the emperor to have fun in the boudoir. The empress is born in a noble family, so it is naturally very strange." Before she finished speaking, Rui received another slap on the face, and the golden hairpin on her temples was knocked to the ground. Concubine Xi bent down.
He picked it up and put it against his belly with a sneer, "This is what the emperor favored you and rewarded that night. It's really unique. I really don't understand the love between you and the emperor. It's a pity that the emperor is not in the palace at the moment. If I am so lighthearted
Press it lightly, what do you think...will happen?"
Ruixin struggled hard and glared at her, "You poisonous woman, you are not afraid..." Before she finished speaking, the golden hairpin was pierced into her belly, "Uh, sister Qianbi, save me!"
With another force, the golden hairpin immediately sank into his belly. Ruixin couldn't bear the pain and fainted to the ground. Concubine Qian snatched the golden hairpin and said, "That's enough. The matter has not been found out yet. If you act like this, if the emperor returns to the palace,
How can you and I take responsibility for the blame?" Concubine Xi pushed her away and snorted, "How can I take responsibility? No one in the palace knows that this prostitute is pregnant. If the emperor knows that she has committed adultery, she will also die.
As long as you and I don't say anything, we will be unaware." Seeing the panic in Concubine Qian's eyes and still hesitating, she added: "Besides... the gold hairpin is in your hand right now. If others see it, they will say that my sister is jealous because of jealousy.
, what should we do if we murder Rui Guiren and the descendants of the emperor?"
"This...it was obvious just now..." Concubine Qian finally understood the purpose of Concubine Xi deliberately bringing her here. Mrs. Niu Colu held Concubine Qian's hand and scratched Rui Guiren's smooth face again and again with a gold hairpin.
His face said, "By the way, that's it. Sister, you did a good job. Now you should throw her into the well outside the palace and destroy her body. In this way, when the emperor returns to the palace, we only have to report that Rui Gui is having an affair with someone."
, attempted to leave the palace, and disappeared after being chased by the guards."
Concubine Qian is extremely frightened every time she thinks about this. The golden hairpin that she scratched Rui Guigui's cheek was still stored at the bottom of the box. Mei Xin looked at her at the bottom, "Concubine Qian, my sister has been with you sincerely.
How could you bear to do it? When you dreamed about it at midnight, wouldn't you be scared when you saw your own hands?" A series of questions made Concubine Qian feel ashamed. Concubine Xi patted her on the shoulder, "How do you think my sister should deal with this bitch?
Is the maid ready?" She said in a trembling voice, "I...it's all up to my sister to make the decision."
Concubine Xi straightened her clothes and stood up, still walking in an extremely dignified court manner, "It's not impossible for me to take charge of the matter. As long as you promise me one thing, I promise to do everything for you.
There is no leakage, sister, you are still the kind-hearted woman whom the Emperor has the most pity for."
