On the tenth day of September in the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi's reign, Wen Xi was already in her confinement, but because Xiaozhuang was half-dead, she could only postpone it temporarily. Even Song'er and Zhu'er's wedding had to be postponed.
Kangxi came and didn't say a word for a long time. He only stroked his painful forehead and said for a long time: "Mother Huang's illness is coming in a big way!" Even though Kangxi and Xiaozhuang had a quarrel with each other before, they have been over the years.
Xiaozhuang's affection for raising Kangxi since childhood is extraordinary after all!
Wen Xi was silent for a long time. She slowly twisted the red sandalwood beads in her hand. The auspicious cloud patterns embossed on them were smooth and smooth. She suddenly asked, "Is there really something wrong with the longevity ointment?"
Kangxi's index finger tapped on the table, his red eyes stared at the Junshan Silver Needle rising and falling in the tea cup on the small red sandalwood table with curly grass moire pattern, and said in a deep voice: "Sun Wencheng has always been loyal - but, Xu
I don’t know if I’m wrong!” As he said that, a trace of murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and the murderous intention in his heart became even stronger: Sun Wencheng originally presented this product to him, and he also worked hard in the secret.
Recommended! What is his intention?! Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help but clenched his fists. He was almost, almost like Madam Huang, and he would die soon!
Kangxi then raised his eyes to look at Wen Xi, restrained the murderous intent in his eyes, and subconsciously said in a calmer tone: "Fortunately you are useless."
Wen Xi couldn't tell for a while whether there was any hidden meaning in Kangxi's words. Kangxi was always suspicious, so he might not have suspected her at all, so he said in a low voice: "I just thought that the thing didn't look very good, and it smelled weird.
"I was pregnant so I didn't dare to use it indiscriminately. Later, Concubine De strongly recommended this item to me, saying it would bring happiness and longevity, so I thought of giving it to the Empress Dowager." She explained a little bit.
, and then lead the disaster to Wu Yashi.
"Concubine Virtue???" Kangxi recited slowly, making it difficult to hear the joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
Wen Xi knew that Kangxi had already suspected Concubine De, and Wen Xi had previously said that the Wuya clan had opened many Fushou Halls in the south, which could be verified by checking. The Wuya clan was in a dead end, and Wen Xi knew that
Once Kangxi found out the dangers of Fushou Ointment, her life was over. But Wu Yashi came in too quietly, which made Wen Xi very uneasy. But this game was already a dead end for her, and she could not do it again.
Escape! And now her damaged and old appearance is not enough to arouse Kangxi's pity.
Wen Xi nodded and said in a calm tone: "Yes, but I have also seen Concubine De taking this medicine. She must have recommended it to me because she thought it was effective." Then she turned to doubt and said, "I don't know the imperial doctor.
How was the review of Fu Shou Ointment? Is it really harmful?”
There was deep anger in Kangxi's eyes, and he clenched his hands tightly into fists. He suppressed his anger with a solemn voice, but the anger in his words still could not be completely suppressed: "In short, it is a vicious thing! You better not know, so as not to get dirty.
ears."
Wen Xi said "Oh," it seemed that Kangxi already had a deep understanding of Fushou Ointment. He looked at Kangxi with doubtful eyes and said, "It shouldn't be too harmful, right? I heard that Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty also
I have been taking Fushou ointment for a long time. I have been taking it for more than thirty years, but I have not seen much harm to my body." Wen Xi was really confused about this. Opium can kill people within a few years, but Wanli actually took it for thirty years.
He died only a year ago?!
Kangxi frowned and said: "You don't know, this product is not exactly the same as the original longevity ointment????" After saying that, he stopped. He seemed unwilling to mention such a dirty thing in front of Wen Xi.
, only said solemnly: "It's good to live for three years!" And Xiaozhuang was already old. He still took food without restraint, so naturally he would be dead in less than a year!
In the afternoon of that day, Kangxi went to Yonghe Palace, and no one knew what he said to Concubine De. However, the next day, Kangxi went to the Shenxing Division to severely interrogate the palace residents of Yonghe Palace. All members of the Wuya clan who served in the Internal Affairs Bureau were also arrested.
During the interrogation, the pitiful wails of the prisoners in the Shenxing Division made the entire harem turn their attention.
Just when the Wu Ya family was in the most critical situation, they suddenly sent someone to invite Wen Xi to Yonghe Palace. Wen Xi guessed that it was just a last word at most, but she was secretly cautious.
The Yonghe Palace was desolate, and there were not many palace residents left. Most of them were captured and tortured by Shenxingsi. According to her position, Wu Ya should come out to greet her in person. She didn't come out, and Wen Xi didn't feel dissatisfied.
.went directly to Dongnuan Pavilion, the main hall where she lived.
Wu Yashi was sitting upright on the rosewood carved cloud and moon chair in the Nuan Pavilion. She was wearing a gorgeous court dress. She wore a green velvet court crown studded with pearls. There were two layers of pearls, each layer bearing
It is decorated with golden phoenixes. Each phoenix is decorated with nine east pearls and seventeen pearls. There is a cat's eye stone on the top of the crown. The imperial crown is decorated with a red hat weft, and the red weft is decorated with five golden phoenixes. The same is full of pearls, and is suffixed with one gold phoenix.
, the Zhai bird is decorated with cat's eye stones and pearls. The bead knots hanging from the Zhai bird are arranged in three rows and two rows, which are numerous and luxurious. One hundred and eighty-eight pearls are used for the concubine's crown palace, second only to the imperial concubine's crown.
It's just that under the pearly splendor, there is a haggard and pale face. Even though she has a thick layer of pearl powder on her face, it can't cover the wrinkles on her face. She can't help covering her face and coughing. The three pairs on the second
The Dongzhu swayed and hit with a crisp sound. The round and huge Dongzhu was shiny, making her face look even more haggard.
On her head, there is a golden covenant with gold inlaid with lapis lazuli, and the eleven golden clouds are only one cloud less than the golden cloud twelve of the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine. However, one can only faintly see the three lines of beads adorning the lobes of the back of her head.
Three times, it fell on the back shoulder, shaking slightly.
The collar ring around her neck was inlaid with lapis lazuli and rubies, and the golden sash fell on her chest, trembling as she kept coughing.
The concubine's court dress already looked a little fat on her body, which showed that she was extremely thin. On the chest of the concubine De, there was a green embroidered cloud, zhi, and grass pattern, a golden silk sash hanging down, and a concubine's fragrant round collar.
The double-breasted court dress is decorated with eight five-clawed dragons, two shoulders, one dragon on the front and back, two rows of dragons on the front and back, eight treasures on the bottom, Shoushan, water, waves, rivers and standing water patterns, and two sleeves.
There are rows of dragons and water waves. It shows that the noble concubine is gorgeous, but some of her clothes are too loose and loose. In the palace, when the concubine takes the throne, the court uniforms and auspicious clothes are all embroidered with dragons, but the color and number of dragons are different.
It's just a matter of distinguishing between superior and inferior.
It's just that she is dressed up like this??? This may be the last time in her life that she wears such clothes.
Even though she was just sitting on the chair, Wu Yashi could hardly sit still, her shoulders were shaking slightly, and her right arm was resting on the armrest of the chair that was carved with auspicious cloud patterns, maintaining a difficult balance. What was exposed from the horse hoof sleeves was a pair of skinny
Ruchai's hands are no longer as slender as before, they are as terrifying as devil's claws!
It was difficult to hide the look of sadness in Rang's eyes, but he still tried his best to endure it and said slowly: "I have something to say and I want to talk to the noble concubine alone."
With her look like this, Wen Xi no longer worried that she would do anything dangerous to her, so she hung the rosewood beads on her chest and said without changing her face: "Qinglan is my confidant, what's the matter?"
Just say whatever you want."
Concubine De nodded and said: "Okay." Then she took out a box of "Zhang Guifei Facial Cream" from the cabinet. When she opened it, there was dried facial cream inside. She pointed at the contents and smiled miserably, and coughed twice.
Her voice was hoarse, but she stared straight at Wen Xi and said without hesitation what she had wanted to say for a long time: "Isn't this thing the culprit that ruined my concubine's body and appearance?"
Wen Xi looked at Wu Yashi's face carefully. No matter how much makeup she put on, she could not conceal her age. She said, "I have not done anything wrong to you. I saved your appearance that day."
"Hahahaha——" Wu Yashi burst out laughing, her body shaking with laughter, the makeup on her face falling off, and the wrinkles on her face becoming more and more obvious. The beauty smiled.
, she was supposed to be charming, but when she smiled, she looked particularly ferocious.
After laughing, Wu Yashi looked at Wen Xi sadly: "I always thought that your concubine was not a scheming person! Later I found out that your scheming is even more sophisticated than my concubine!!"
Wen Xi smiled slightly, but her eyes were extremely calm. The green flowers on her forehead made her face look more beautiful than snow. Her red lips raised a hint of sarcasm and said: "Scheming? Concubine De, you are better at this thing, right? Even my own
You can use your own flesh and blood one after another, but I can't do it! Since the first day I met you, you have used your own children to do whatever you want! Why did your daughter die? Why did your fourth brother have such a high fever?
It’s clear! You also know best how your subsequent pregnancy didn’t happen!”
"So, the imperial concubine has been taking advantage of my concubine from the beginning?" Wu Ya asked with a smile, her smile full of frustration.
She said with a warm smile: "How can I really dare to take someone like you, Concubine De, under my wing? I'm sure I will be bitten by you one day!"
Wu Yashi caressed her face, as if she still had the same flowery face as before, but now it was full of wrinkles. She couldn't help laughing at herself: "I still think my acting skills are very good. The winner and the loser.
"I have nothing to complain about. I just want to understand." Then he looked up at Wen Xi and said, "I would like to ask your concubine for advice on the fire in Baohua Palace."
Concubine De's calmness at this moment made Wen Xi wary. Wen Xi had nothing to hide about this matter, so she said directly: "Powdered sulfur, powdered charcoal, and powdered saltpeter can be used to make firecrackers. They are flammable."
, even an extremely small spark can ignite it.”
Concubine De retorted angrily: "Isn't your concubine afraid that the Buddha will blame her?!" The dry hand that was resting on the armrest suddenly clenched tightly, and her nails were deeply embedded in the palm of her hand.
Wen Xi was unmoved and said seriously: "I am just lighting the red lotus karma fire for the Buddha!"
Concubine De immediately smiled miserably and said: "Concubine is so courageous and has such good methods!!"
"Each other, each other!" The gentle voice gradually rose up, with a sarcastic tone. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
