Concubine De's eyes suddenly filled with tears, but the corners of her mouth were filled with wrinkles as she smiled miserably: "The concubine knew about the harm of hibiscus ointment early on, right? That's why she borrowed a knife to kill someone?"
Wen Xi nodded, stared at Wu Yashi closely and asked: "I just don't understand. With your intelligence in the harem, you must have discovered that I dedicated this thing to the Empress Dowager, why didn't you take any measures?
"
De Fei smiled bitterly, with a look of helplessness and sadness in her words: "What else can I do? It's no secret that the Concubine clan has opened so many Fushou Hall in the south. Is it still too late to destroy the evidence?! Something
He left from the concubine's palace. Can the concubine change this fact? Since the imperial concubine gave the longevity ointment to the Queen Mother, it was equivalent to severely defeating the concubine's army. This move has already forced the concubine to do something.
There is no way out! It's only a matter of time before you die! But I didn't expect it to be so soon!"
After saying so many words in a row, her tone was filled with anger, and she suddenly felt like she couldn't breathe. Her chest was heaving violently, and her old face was turning an abnormal red color because of her violent coughing.
Pressing his chest, he grabbed the blood-red coral pearl on his chest and held it tightly in his hand: "Since I learned about the harm of cinnabar, I planned to let the imperial concubine accompany me to hell! However, I didn't expect to be killed.
The imperial concubine has seen through it, and now I am afraid that it is my entire family who will accompany me to the Nine Netherworld!" Wuya Namin is over, and so is the Wuya clan. Kangxi will not let him go, and he can only let the Wuya family go.
A clan!
Wen Xi looked at Concubine De and said calmly: "You invited me here just to talk about this?" Since Wen Xi entered Concubine De's Yonghe Palace, she has not dared to let down her guard for a moment. She doesn't think so.
Wu Yashi only asked her to say her last words, and Wu Yashi's methods were often unexpected.
Qinglan held her warm arm with a guarded look in her eyes, fearing that Concubine De would get angry and hurt someone.
Concubine De touched her dilapidated face and suddenly smiled, her voice was coquettish and coquettish: "I lost to the noble concubine. I am very unwilling to do so!" Then, her eyes were fixed on the gentle girl beside her.
Qinglan was full of jealousy and unwillingness: "The imperial concubine is just relying on a medical woman with superb medical skills!"
Wen Xi just smiled faintly and did not refute anything. Qinglan wanted to refute, but saw that Wen Xi remained silent and just bit her lip, refusing to speak to the dying man.
Concubine De's words suddenly became sharp, her eyes seemed real, like a knife, she wanted to cut her on Wen Xi, she gritted her teeth and said: "I still want to fight the imperial concubine to the last round! I wonder if the imperial concubine can still escape unharmed?!
"
Wen Xi couldn't help but feel wary. Wu Yashi now had no trump cards to fight with her. Why did she say such a thing?
I saw Concubine De pulling out a red gold filigree phoenix hairpin with a ruby embedded in it from her head, and said: "This is a gift given by the imperial concubine to my concubine!" As she said this, with a look of hatred, the phoenix hairpin suddenly became sharp.
The sharp point pierced her chest hard.
Wen Xi was suddenly shocked. Was she actually going to commit suicide?
The phoenix hairpin sank deeply into Concubine De's chest and heart, and a stream of blood spurted out. Concubine De's hand pressed hard on the phoenix hairpin and stabbed it deeper. She raised her head and looked at Wen Xi with a smile and said: "
I also invited the emperor to come over, and I am afraid that the time is coming."
Wen Xi gritted her teeth. Is this the last resort of Concubine De? If Kangxi came and saw Concubine De dead, and Wen Xi was present. And the phoenix hairpin inserted in Concubine De's heart came from Wen Xi's hand, what would he do?
think?!
Concubine De's fragrant court dress and dragon gown were dyed red by the blood spurting out, like a charming peony in full bloom. This was the last bloom in her life! Her face slowly became as pale as paper, and her body swayed.
He staggered and fell off the chair and fell to the ground. The vitality in his eyes slowly faded, but his eyes were still wide open and refused to close.
Qinglan hurriedly pulled Wen Xi's arm: "Master, let's go quickly!"
At this time, the eunuch’s unique high-pitched voice could be heard shouting loudly: “The Emperor has arrived——”
Wen Xi stared straight at Concubine De, who was lying dead on the ground. Wu Ya's death had left her with a huge trouble! There were not many people in Yonghe Palace now, and Wen Xi only had
He brought Qinglan over. Even the eunuch guarding the gate of Yonghe Palace was arrested and tortured. Wen Xi was determined, and no one saw her entering the Concubine De's palace. So she just needed to stay away and don't let Kangxi see what he shouldn't have seen.
Just a person or thing.
Wen Xi gritted her teeth and that was all she could do!
??????????????????
With a creak, the door slowly opened. Kangxi entered the main hall and Nuan Pavilion, and saw this scene: Wu Ya was lying quietly on his back in a pool of blood. What was stuck in his chest was no longer the phoenix hairpin, but a red gold Pisces.
Chai, her face is peaceful, her eyes are lightly closed, her fingers are still stained with her own blood, and there is a line of words left on the ground beside her: My crime cannot be punished, and I must die to apologize.
Kangxi stared carefully for a long time and looked at the empty Nuan Pavilion. The daily soothing incense was still burning in the enamel incense burner, like mist. Liang Jiugong hurriedly ran forward, squatted down and touched Concubine De's cheek.
He felt the pulse in his neck and reported back: "Your Majesty, Concubine De has passed away, and her body is still warm."
There was no sadness in Kangxi's eyes, but he suddenly thought of his fourth elder brother, Yinzhen, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, saying: "Yinzhen is only eight years old???"
Liang Jiugong bowed and said, "Come on, I'm going to inform Fourth Brother now."
Kangxi, however, stared closely at the line of text beside him, narrowed his eyes slowly, and ordered: "Go and summon the imperial doctor first. She clearly said she had something to say to me, so why did she commit suicide?"
"嗻!"
It is a serious crime for a concubine to commit suicide, not to mention that the Empress Dowager is still seriously ill, so the funeral ceremony can only be simple.
In the space, Wen Xi was breathing heavily. Kangxi came too quickly, so she could only arrange the scene in a hurry. The first thing she did was to pull out the phoenix hairpin inserted in Wu Ya's chest, and immediately sprayed Wen Xi
His face was covered with blood. Then he turned around and searched for Concubine De's makeup box. He found a red gold Pisces hairpin of about the same size and inserted it into Concubine De's chest. Finally, he held Concubine De's hand and wet it with
With her own warm blood, she wrote on the ground: "My crime cannot be punished, so I will die to apologize."
Then, Wen Xi carefully recalled her actions just now, thought over and over again, and finally determined that there were no loopholes, and then hurried to the river to wash away the blood on her face.
Qinglan was also frightened, and said with lingering fear: "If there is not a fairyland, I'm afraid it is???"
Wen Xi took a deep breath and said: "The matter is not over yet. The emperor has already entered the inner room. Although we are temporarily hiding, we have to go out from where we came in." In that room
There were many people there now, and Wen Xi's mental power was always paying attention. Kangxi and Liang Jiugong came in, and then sent the imperial doctor over, followed by some eunuchs and maids who gathered the bodies. In short, they couldn't get out for the time being.
Qinglan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "Master, I have put two sets of palace maid's clothes in the bamboo building. You can put them on and sneak out for us!"
Wen Xi looked at the blood spots on her clothes and said, "Of course I have to change my clothes, but just changing clothes is not enough." Wen Xi was even more worried. If Kangxi went to Chengqian Palace and asked about Wen Xi's
Where. I'm afraid the people in the palace below will tell the truth, and that would be a really bad thing! Wen Xi can't stay in the space for too long, otherwise the people in Chengqian Palace will find out that she hasn't returned, and they will definitely look around.
The first place to look for is Yonghe Palace! That will expose the secret! Concubine De, she really killed her even before she died!
Wenxi changed into Qinglan's clothes in the small bamboo house. Fortunately, she and Qinglan were about the same figure. But because she gave birth to Yuludai, her breasts had already developed quite considerably. The two bulges were obvious. Then they appeared again.
Thinking of Yuludai, I couldn't help but worry: "Yuludai must be hungry here???" Yuludai is usually very well-behaved and not noisy at all, but once he is hungry, he will cry loudly.
Qinglan said: "There is a wet nurse, master, don't worry."
Wen Xi knows how picky Yu Ludai is. Except for the few days when she was in a coma, she always breastfed by herself. Unless she was extremely hungry, she would never eat other people's milk.
When the eunuchs who hurriedly arrived gathered the body of Concubine De, they temporarily carried it to the main sleeping hall. Concubine De died so suddenly that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had not prepared a coffin, so they had to make do with it first.
Wen Xi's mental power has been paying attention to the situation in the Nuan Pavilion. Finally, when no one was there, Wen Xi decided to repeat the old trick - setting fire!
Two palace maids wearing light green palace clothes suddenly appeared in the Nuan Pavilion out of thin air. A pool of dark red blood on the ground had not been wiped off, and the air was still filled with a faint smell of blood. One of the palace maids was holding a large blue and white porcelain ball in his hand.
The bowl is full of transparent liquid. This is a good thing. The 90-degree alcohol was found by Wen Xi from the warehouse with great difficulty. The Nuan Pavilion is connected to the main hall in the east, and is only separated by the Wanfu Ruyi floor-to-ceiling cover of huanghuali wood.
If you make the slightest movement, you will be noticed by the people in the main hall who are crying one after another.
Wen Xi held a lighter in one hand and lit the bowl of wine in her hand. Then she began to pour it on the gorgeous carpet with scarlet peonies and phoenixes. Most of it fell to the ground, and the rest splashed on the bed inside.
In an instant, a fire broke out, and the flames devoured everything that could burn.
Wen Xi hurriedly pulled Qinglan and quickly opened the south window to look at no one outside. The two "palace maids" hurriedly got out and did not forget to close the window beforehand.
"It's gone—" Immediately, the eunuch in the main hall was heard shouting.
"It's gone! It's gone!!"
When there is a fire, it is not about fire, but about water. As soon as he shouted, everyone rushed over to fetch water to put out the fire. Wen Xi stood on tiptoe and pushed Qinglan to go ahead. She lowered her head and said: "Take the corner door."
!”
Go east through the flowers, follow the path, and go to the east corner gate.
"Stop!" Suddenly I heard a woman walking on flower pot-soled shoes from the side, walking slowly, with a bit of displeasure on her face, and said: "The main hall is filled with water, why do you two act like nothing is wrong?
Don’t go put out the fire either?!”
Wen Xi hurriedly lowered her head and followed Qinglan in front of her to salute.
Qinglan saluted and said: "Happy concubine An, my servant is Qinglan, the palace maid of Chengqian Palace. Early this morning, Concubine De came to invite the imperial concubine to Yonghe Palace, but the imperial concubine was unwell, so she sent the servant to come and have a look.
.did not expect???"
Concubine An Li was also a concubine of Yonghe Palace. She lived in the east side hall of Yonghe Palace. A fire just broke out. She also sent all the eunuchs and maids around her to help, leaving only one personal maid to serve.
Concubine An looked at Qinglan carefully, suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Oh, I do have some impressions." She called herself me, because although Concubine An was a concubine, she was not just a concubine and could not call herself "my wife."
An Bin's eyes immediately fell on Wen Xi, and she wondered: "She is -"
Qinglan said hurriedly: "He is the slave's follower!"
An Bin said, "It's a mess here. Just go out through the corner door and report back to the noble concubine."
Qinglan was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Yes!"
Wenxi also followed Qinglan and performed the blessing ceremony.
Seeing the two "palace maids" leaving in a hurry, An Bin let out a long sigh. The little palace maid who supported An Bin said doubtfully: "Master, the blessing gift that the servant gave is clearly not the etiquette of a slave, but the etiquette of a slave."
It's the concubine's etiquette!" Wen Xi didn't know that she had missed the point. The concubine's Wanfu gift is different from that of the palace maid. Although they both fold their hands on the lower abdomen and bend the knees, the concubine often wears armor. For
More elegant, the hands are in the shape of orchids when praying, while the palace ladies just have their hands folded.
An Bin then glared at her fiercely and said, "If you want to survive, keep your mouth shut!"
The little palace maid shrank her neck in fright. She really didn't understand how her master, who was usually gentle and gentle, could get so angry. But her eyes were rolling, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Concubine An rubbed her temples and said helplessly: "I'm just a concubine who is not favored. It's the Han army flag. It's matters in the palace. If you can, pretend to be deaf and dumb! This is the way to live."
"
The little palace maid suddenly raised her head and said: "The Concubine De has passed away, so can the master be the master?"
Concubine An smiled bitterly and said: "How can it be so easy? Let's live peacefully." Although she entered the palace early, she was lucky enough to get a concubine in the 16th year of Kangxi's reign, but now she has fallen out of favor and has not been seen by the emperor for several months.
She must be lucky enough to be summoned once! Concubine, although she is also a serious mistress in this palace, but there are five concubines and noble concubines, what does she mean to a little concubine? The emperor may not even remember that there is such a person as her.
Already.
An concubine Li is the granddaughter of Li Yongfang, the former Ming Dynasty general. She served in the Han army at Zhenglan Banner. Her father, Li Shitaiguan, was the second-grade governor and the same magistrate. Therefore, although she was not favored, she still got a concubine position. An concubine always came to An.
Concubine An didn't get involved in the fight between the concubines, so she was still safe without being favored. Concubine An looked at the restless little palace maid next to her, and said: "Keep your mouth in the future! Otherwise you will sooner or later
I will die from your mouth!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
