Songzhu cried into a ball, weeping with joy, and cried all the way back to Chengqian Palace. It was not until Wenxi promised that she would never act alone again that she comforted them.
In the evening, Qinglan was shocked and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the master has a fairyland, otherwise what would happen this time???"
"It's just - why doesn't Master tell the truth? It's clearly Concubine Tong who wants to put Master to death?!" Qinglan's small eyes were full of anger.
Wen Xi said calmly and coldly: "All the evidence has been reduced to nothing, and telling the truth is of no use!"
Qinglan frowned and said, "Are we just going to let her go? If we don't protect her, she might come to harm the master in the future!"
"It's not 'maybe', but it will definitely happen!" Wen Xi said in a calm tone with a cold tone, "Of course I won't sit still and wait for death." - I want to see whether Tong Jia will kill me first or me first.
Kill her! Wen Xi said viciously in her heart. But then she had a severe headache. In terms of killing techniques, space is really of no use! The medicinal materials in the space are very useful for saving people. They can't kill people, and they are all nourished in them.
They are tame herbivorous animals. Wen Xi really regrets not raising some jackals, tigers and leopards????
After sorting through the space, Wen Xi concluded the following ways to kill Tong Jia: First, take Tong Jia into the space and kill her when no one is around!o(╯□╰)o???
Second, he stabbed Tong Jiashi with a knife and then threw her into space to hide her body, o(╯□╰)o???
three,????????
Damn, it’s unreliable when you think about it!!
"Qinglan, can you prepare poison?" Wen Xi suddenly said quietly.
Qinglan shook her head honestly. "Could it be that I don't know how to do it? Even if I know how to do it, the poison will have to be mixed with poison, and we won't be able to get the raw materials!"
Alas, it is indeed not easy to get poison in the palace, and the poisons in ancient times were crude and backward. Even arsenic required a sufficient amount to kill someone, and eating too little would only cause diarrhea. Moreover, the palace had strict controls at all levels, not to mention the poison.
I can't get it into the palace. Even if I get it in, can I get it into Tong Jia's bowl? The food in each palace is strictly controlled, and there are also eunuchs who taste the food. Even if I get it in, I can't kill Tong Jia.
On the head.
In this palace, Wen Xi's status is not low. It is very simple to kill a little palace maid or a little eunuch. Just find any reason to get Shen Xingsi and beat him to death. But if you are dealing with concubines
, it’s easy to say that for a low-level person, as long as she loses favor and fabricates a crime, she can be thrown into the cold palace. But those who rise to the concubine position are all from some family background. The concubine is considered a serious master.
No one can be killed easily.
There are so many lives and deaths in the harem. However, few people above the concubine rank are killed, and it is extremely rare for people to be demoted to noble status like Dong. Because everyone above the concubine rank either has a family background or has children,
Either one is favored, but it cannot be killed easily. Tong Jia is a high-ranking concubine. Wen Xi can design to make her fall out of favor and make Kangxi hate her, but if she wants Kangxi to kill her, it will be difficult for Tong Jia to reach heaven!!
He did so many things that violated Kangxi's bottom line. Shouldn't he just be banned for a while? It can be seen that family background is the biggest trump card to gain a foothold in the harem!
"Oh, how can we kill her????" Wen Xi was worried.
Qinglan said thiefly: "Master, how about we also set a fire?"
Bang! Wenru slapped Qinglan, a heartless little girl, on the head! Except when prescribing medicine, she has never been smarter!
"I am willing to serve my master!!" Xiaoluzi jumped out of nowhere and knelt at Wenxi's feet.
Wen Xi was startled and asked sharply: "When did you come in? What did you hear?!"
Xiaoluzi kowtowed hurriedly, his body trembling a little, "This slave is loyal to his master and is willing to relieve his worries!!"
Wen Xi glanced at Xiaoluzi, who was kowtowing diligently on the ground, and looked like he might have heard everything. This boy was usually loyal and ruthless, but Wenxi didn't like the little eunuch who spoke so eccentrically, so Xiaoluzi
I have never been able to “show off my strengths”!
Wen Xi calmed down her mind, looked at each other with Qinglan, turned around and sat on the rosewood chair with bat patterns, and then said quietly: "Tell me, what ability do you have to relieve me of my worries?"
Xiao Luzi quickly raised his head, and with a smile on his face that was a bit frightened, he said: "Actually, Sister Qinglan just said it right. Setting fire is indeed an excellent way."
Wen Xi rolled her eyes, thinking it was a good idea!
"It's just that-" Xiaoluzi suddenly changed his tone, "For example, today's fire in the Wutong Forest, everyone would just think that the fire was caused by dry weather!"
Wen Xi became slightly interested, leaned over and sat on the couch, pursed her lips: "Oh? Keep talking."
The smile on Xiaoluzi's face grew wider, "The Baohua Hall in the palace is the largest Buddhist hall. The concubines often go there to pray for blessings and offer incense. Recently, Concubine Tong also often goes there. The slave's family used to make firecrackers, and
The sulfur, charcoal powder and other materials used to make firecrackers should be kept away from the candle flame, otherwise it will easily catch fire!"
Wen Xi's eyes lit up, and treating the other person's body in his own way is indeed the best way to relieve anger!
Xiao Luzi added: "Besides, the chief eunuch of Baohua Palace and Wu Ya, the steward of Qingfeng Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, are sworn brothers!"
Wen Xi looked at this little deer carefully, but at the age of about 20, he had quite a lot of evil intentions! Although the people around her were smart, they were also kind people, and kind people were often the least in this palace.
Useful.
Wen Xi smiled and asked kindly: "Xiaoluzi, who else is there in your family?"
When asked about his family, Xiaoluzi's expression suddenly became touched, "Going back to the master, my servant has an old father and mother, seven brothers and five sisters. When I was young, my family was so poor that I couldn't boil the pot, and my brothers and sisters almost starved to death, so I came in."
The palace became a eunuch."
With a gentle look on her face, she sighed and said, "You are a filial son. There are so many mouths in the family. It's not easy to support them, right?"
"Fortunately, your master's rewards during the New Year and festivals are twice as generous as before, so that I can help my family more. I have been thinking about how to repay your master's kindness, but now your master is in danger. He was almost assassinated!
I am willing to relieve your master's worries!" After saying that, Xiaoluzi kowtowed heavily again.
There is a family tie, and such a person can only be relieved when he is gentle, so he nodded and said: "You have been loyal to Chengqian Palace for two years, so what should I reward you?" After looking at Qing Qiang,
Lan glanced at him and said, "Go get a thousand taels of silver notes and give them to Xiaoluzi as a reward for his loyalty."
Xiao Luzi was sincere and did not refuse. He knocked his head down hard, making a banging sound on the white marble slab. He burst into tears and said with gratitude: "Thank you, Master for the reward!" - Look at this, he is really a man who is short of money.
Wen Xi fiddled with the armor. The corners of her eyes raised slightly, and she said with a smile: "I will ask people to take care of your family. As long as you serve me faithfully, your family will receive the best care!" Similarly,
If you are not loyal, your family will be implicated because of you.
Xiao Luzi was smart. He understood Wen Xi's words and kowtowed repeatedly: "My slave must be loyal and never dare to have two intentions!"
At the end of October of the 22nd year of Kangxi's reign, news came from Mongolia that the Emperor Kangxi had arrived in the Rehe area. He was very close to the Horqin Grassland. This trip was mainly for political purposes, and he would not stay too long in each tribe he visited.
According to the plan, we have to patrol more than 20 tribes in Mongolia in more than a month. The itinerary is relatively compact and not as leisurely as Mulan Qiumi.
The days in the palace are leisurely. The Baohua Palace is full of incense and is also a lively place. The Baohua Palace is very close to the Changchun Palace of Cheng Fei, only a quarter of an hour away. Playing with the Seventh Prince in the Cheng Fei Palace
After playing with the fifth princess Qi Buchen for a while, he asked the concubine to go to the Baohua Hall to offer incense and pray for blessings.
Baohua Hall faces north and south, east of Changchun Palace and west of Shou'an Palace. It is 3 rooms wide and 1 room deep. It has a mountain-style roof with yellow glazed tiles and a bright eaves at the back to indirectly embrace the building. The overall building is "convex"
The font shape echoes the Zhongzheng Hall with eaves protruding from the building in the north, forming a north-south symmetrical pattern.
There is a spacious courtyard outside the main hall. In the center of the courtyard, on the pure white marble Xumizuo, there is a large bronze incense burner with a three-legged tripod and Kui dragon pattern. Purple cloud and nannan incense is burned inside, making the incense clouds outside the hall linger and glowing with purple light in the sun.
Yun Xi. Wen Xi lowered her head and covered her nose with a handkerchief. She didn't like such a strong aroma.
Standing outside the hall, you can see that there is a large square copper-plated niche in the open room, which contains a gold-womb Buddha Sakyamuni. On the altar in front of the niche are bronze statues of Guanyin Bodhisattva and Amitabha. On the niche, there is a golden lotus pattern as thick as a baby's arm.
The giant candle was burning brightly. Tong Jia was kneeling on the bright yellow futon under the Buddhist niche. She closed her eyes and recited Buddhist scriptures in her mouth. She was twisting a string of white turtle beads carved with Arhats in her hands. She looked very entranced.
.
Concubine Cheng whispered: "I heard that Concubine Tong comes here every now and then. My concubine's Changchun Palace is the closest to Baohua Palace, and she only comes here two or three times a month."
In the palace, the statue of Sakyamuni is solemn and peaceful. The whole body is red gold. It is full of brilliance. On both sides of the Buddha statue are countless bright yellow prayer flags. Under the prayer flags, there are lamas chanting. The Qing Dynasty believed in Tibetan Buddhism, so the palace is full of treasures.
There are lamas chanting sutras and praying for blessings every day in the Buddhist halls around the main hall and the main hall. The lamas are wearing bright red Buddhist robes and strange big hats that look like cock combs. Each one of them has a solemn face and maintains the same posture without moving at all.
.
Wenxi didn't enter the temple either. She just stared at the Buddhist niche in the temple outside the temple, waiting to watch the show. Fortunately, a huge bodhi tree was transplanted outside the temple. It is the best for shade in summer, but now the dead leaves are falling.
, the almost bare branches are like the hands of the Thousand-Handed Guanyin, countless innumerable. There is also a stone table and bench carved with lotus patterns placed under the west tree. Wenxi and Chengfei rested here.
Concubine Cheng said with lingering fear: "There was a fire in the Wutong Forest a few days ago, but the empress was frightened. She really should pray for blessings."
Wen Xi sipped tea and said quietly: "Buddha's blessing may not be effective. It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others."
"What the imperial concubine means is——"
Wen Xi put down the blue and white porcelain tea cup, wiped her lips gently, and said: "I have never been someone who doesn't fight back when bullied. Just wait and see the good show!"
Concubine Cheng quickly glanced at Tong Jia, who was praying peacefully in the palace, and was shocked: "This is the Baohua Palace! In front of the Buddha????"
I almost forgot that Concubine Cheng, Dai Jia, was a person who believed in Buddhism and respected Buddha. Wen Xi had no choice but to say: "Concubine Cheng, can you believe that the Buddha's eyes can see everything?"
Concubine Cheng nodded and said without hesitation: "That's natural!" In the past, when Concubine Cheng was in retreat, she worshiped the Buddha every day. She considered her blessings today to be the blessing of the Buddha.
A profound smile appeared on the corner of his gentle mouth, and he said slowly and forcefully: "Buddha loves the world, but he also has the wrath of red lotus karma and fire!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation.
