After that day of fun, Kangxi seemed to have decided that Wen Xi was the one to settle the feud with him. Even though Wen Xi was still the same during the day, he only thought that Wen Xi was a tough-mouthed duck. Otherwise, why would he be so affectionate at night? Therefore, after sealing the novel at the end of the year, he was
The Queen Mother stayed overnight in Chengqian Palace. The Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with this, but none of the concubines spoke to her. The Queen Mother was not Kangxi's biological mother, and she did not dare to be unhappy with Kangxi over this "trivial matter", so she stayed bored all day.
With a long face, there is no trace of the New Year’s celebration.
The thirty-ninth year of Kangxi arrived as scheduled. At the beginning of the year, the concubine of Yonghe Palace suffered from a slight cold. Originally, it was no big deal after taking two doses of medicine. However, Wen Xi took this as an excuse and asked Jingshifang to stop her Lvtou brand.
, and asked her to have a good health. Everyone in the harem still didn't understand why the imperial concubine was at odds with her own party. Instead, they became more and more concerned about their former enemy Tong Bin. Not only did they ask the medical girl to check for pulse once every three days,
It even paid for her to be promoted to the rank of concubine.
Wen Xi only wanted to test her when she saw that the secret concubine always had no reaction. When Kangxi came in, he was always attached to the Chengqian Palace and did not set foot in other palaces.
Wen Xi took the opportunity to take action, which was a huge blow to her. Kangxi didn't say a word about this, only smiled fondly.
After that, the concubine Mi asked to see her several times, but Wen Xi also refused. This made people believe that the concubine Mi was regarded as an abandoned child by the imperial concubine, and her life became increasingly difficult. The concubine Mi had been favored for many years, although her words and deeds were not good.
She offended too many people, but she was favored because of her humble background. This in itself was enough to make many people jealous. She was once protected by the imperial concubine, but now she was abandoned by the imperial concubine. She fell out of favor again, so naturally everyone wanted to humiliate her.
The former favorite concubine.
The weather was getting less cold, and Kangxi thought he had calmed Wen Xi, so he began to summon his concubines as usual. The first thing he turned over was the name of the Hezhe family from Zhaogui. When Xiaoluzi came to report, Wen Xi could only say it in a nonchalant manner.
Say "I understand" and say no more.
It was a fine afternoon. Kangxi had lunch in Chengqian Palace. Since the previous court was more relaxed, he also had time to chat with Wen Xi. He casually talked about Yulu Dai's marriage, and then mentioned this year's wedding.
During the draft, I counted the number of sons I wanted to marry and gave them this. Wen Xi just listened silently and did not express an opinion.
"I have something I would like to ask the emperor to clarify." Wen Xi suddenly said, "Zhao Gui Ren...according to what Tong Bin said personally, it was not her recommendation."
Kangxi chuckled and said, "Is it delicious?"
Wen Xi said lightly: "I'm just confused, is it? Is it really just that the emperor met Mr. Zhaogui by chance?"
Kangxi suppressed his smile and said calmly: "She was secretly donated by Ling Pu."
Wen Xi couldn't help being slightly startled, Ling Pu?! Ling Pu, the head of the Internal Affairs Office?! So it was the person arranged by the prince? She couldn't help but raise a different smile at the corner of her mouth: "The prince is really filial." The prince had met Garudai, Ling
Pu had also seen him. Therefore, he spent so much effort to find someone so similar and quietly sent it to Kangxi.
Since he is the prince... Wen Xi frowned slightly. In addition to the prince's own people, there are people from Kangxi in the Yuqing Palace. She has been unable to interfere. It is not easy to spy on the prince. If the prince secretly communicates with Zhaogui people
It would be difficult to contact him. Then he remembered Zhao Guiren's secret conspiracy with his secret concubines. It was not just Wen Ru's actions that caught them off guard, but also other reasons. They have not taken action so far.
"She has no further involvement with Yuqing Palace, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tolerate her." Kangxi said in a deep voice.
Didn't he get involved with Yuqing Palace again? Then what is the purpose of the prince?! Maybe. His purpose is Tong Bin. The prince doesn't like people from the Tong Jia family, so he found someone who looks like Queen Xiaozhao.
Go to Tong Bin's palace to cause trouble for Tong Bin? Isn't the purpose of her?
Perhaps - Wen Xi had a wrong idea. The prince might have thought that Wen Xi was favored only because she was the younger sister of Empress Xiaozhao, so he invited Hezhe into the palace in order to make Wen Xi fall out of favor!
During the primary election that year, Wen Xi happened to be in Changping Palace. Everyone thought that she had fallen out of favor. The prince wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the Hezhe family so that Kangxi would no longer remember that there was an imperial concubine in Changping named Wen Xi.
Falling out of favor. And the Hezhe family was also favored as the prince expected. It was just because of the incident of a concubine that the prince did not dare to get too close to his concubine, so he had no contact with the Hezhe family. Therefore, Kangxi Rong was favored by Zhaogui.
If so, everything would be explained. Thinking of this, Wen Xi felt relieved. As long as the secret concubine didn't plan it from the beginning, it would be fine. If so, then there should be a disagreement between Tong Bin and Zhao Gui.
At that time, the secret concubine took the opportunity to come in and secretly colluded with the Zhaogui people to form a party, and they took the opportunity to plan something.
The feud between Tong Bin and Zhao Gui must have started after the Hezhe family received the title of "Zhao". Compared with Tong Bin Gui, who was the concubine and could not be granted a title, a mere nobleman from a wealthy family had a title.
Naturally, she was dissatisfied. But the concubine thought that she took this opportunity to hook up with Hezhe.
After figuring out the joints, Wen Xi felt much more relaxed.
The weather was getting warmer, and Tong Bin, who had not been outside for a whole winter, finally came to visit one fine afternoon. Tong Pin was already seven months pregnant, and her fetus was well developed. Her belly was as big as that of an ordinary woman's eight months old.
However, Tong Bi lost weight. Although she was nourished every day, she gradually showed signs of weakness. If this continues, by the time the fetus reaches full term, she will inevitably be able to save only one of her babies.
"I'm here to discuss a deal with the imperial concubine." Tong Bin opened the skylight and went straight to the point without making any polite remarks.
"Oh?" Wen Xi raised her eyebrows.
"Instead of waiting for the enemy to take action, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole." Tong Concubine said with a frown, "I have not left the palace for a long time to protect my pregnancy, so they have no chance to make a move, so I want to give them this opportunity!"
Wen Xi took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Listening to Tong Bin's words, it seems that she already knows who the other person is."
Tong Bin smiled slightly: "I would also like to thank the imperial concubine for reminding me!" She paused slightly and said: "As far as I know, my concubine has never sinned against the mother-in-law, but the mother-in-law asked the minister's room to stop her sex.
The number one card is so far. No matter how stupid I am, I should have thought of it. It’s just a bit beyond my expectation.”
Wen Xi smiled. It was acquiescence, "How do you plan to 'lead the snake out of the hole'?"
"The ice has melted and the snow has melted. I plan to go to Baohua Palace more often, and I also ask the imperial concubine to go with her in three days." Tong Bin said slowly.
Wen Xi did not agree. To be honest, she was as worried about Tong Bin as she was about her secret concubine. Wen Xi was as wary of Tong Bi as she was about her secret concubine. After all, she was pregnant, so if something happened to her
It's impossible to clean up the blame on her.
Tong Concubine smiled and said: "I understand your misgivings, so I want to discuss a deal with you. If I help your concubine lead the snake out of the hole and get rid of the concubine, I would like to ask your concubine to keep my mother and son safe."
"Mother and child are safe?!" Wen Xi couldn't help but laugh. Although Tong Bin cherishes the child in her belly, she may not pity her own life. "Tong Bin is too embarrassing for me, and she is too embarrassed to talk nonsense."
Tong Bin leaned forward and said: "It is really difficult for mother and child to be safe if they are pregnant in ten months. What if they are born in July?!"
Wen Xi was slightly shocked, and her mind turned a few times. Indeed, with Hu Yu's ability, she could only hold one of them during her ten-month pregnancy, provided that Wen Xi did not take action and did not use the good things in the space. After all,
There is no benefit to Wen Xi if Tong Bin is alive, so why bother to save her? So just let her resign herself to her fate. Born in July? Indeed, the child may be a little weak, but the internal organs of a seven-month-old child have already developed.
It's completely true. If she is raised well, she can be raised well. The mother is not weak at the time of birth. There is indeed a great hope to save the mother and the child.
Tong Concubine looked at the concubine who was accompanying her and said: "My queen, there is no need to deceive me. Concubine's concubine also said that this method is feasible. With her current fetal image and body, she is 50% sure to save her."
And the child, if the empress is willing to ask Aunt Hu to do her best, then there is at least a 70% certainty!"
Wen Xi was silent for a long time, her eyes fell on her tall belly, and then she smiled and said: "Okay, I promise you." It didn't hurt to agree to her, because Wen Xi saw that what was in her belly was just a little princess, even if
She can't make any waves if she can save the mother and daughter. Moreover, after this birth, her vitality will definitely be greatly reduced, and she will never be able to get pregnant in the future. Compared with Tong's concubine, being a close concubine at this moment is more harmful to Wen Xi.
After that, Tong Bin went to Baohua Hall every other day to chant sutras and pray for peace. On the fifth day, Wen Xi also went to Baohua Hall as agreed.
Baohua Hall once caught fire, but now it has been renovated, and it seems to be even more luxurious and majestic. Wen Xi didn't like the strong aroma, so she only brought Hu Yu in and asked the others to wait outside. Tong Bin stood up
With a belly of more than seven months, she knelt on the futon, followed only by her confidant Aunt Wei. When she saw Wen Xi coming in, she asked someone to close the door of the palace, and invited Wen Xi to talk for the first time.
Wen Xi looked around and saw that there was no one else around. She only brought Hu Yu with her, and Tong Bin only brought Nanny Wei with her. It seemed a little deserted for a while.
"Are you sure you can really lure the snake out?" Wen Xi couldn't help but wonder when she saw that there was no movement for a long time.
There was a ruthless look in Tong Bin's eyes: "No matter whether the snake comes out or not, I will tell her that she must come out!"
As soon as Tong Bin finished her words, she saw outside the glass floor-standing cover, in the main hall of the bright room, a timid little eunuch sneaked in front of the Buddha. There was a candle in front of the Buddha, so he secretly lit a huge candle and came down immediately.
He lit the Buddhist flags beside him. The Buddha flags were made of silk and satin and burned very easily. They immediately turned into a ball of fire. He was about to take something out of his arms. He saw two tall figures suddenly emerge from the floor of the desk.
The eunuch quickly pressed down the little eunuch and immediately put out the burning Buddhist flags.
Immediately, two tall eunuchs escorted the little eunuch from the open room and presented the thing found from his arms. It was undoubtedly a bottle of kerosene. This thing is extremely flammable. If it is sprinkled on the fire, it will burn.
It must be another disaster!
It was only then that Wen Xi saw the appearance of this little eunuch clearly. She was very familiar! Isn't it the little Ruizi who carried the sedan in her palace?! Wen Xi suddenly stood up and turned to stare at Tong Bin.
Xiao Ruizi only came to Chengqian Palace last year, and she was not very clever, so she became a rough eunuch who carried the sedan chair. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a nail that someone else put in her palace! Now, Tong Bin and others have stolen everything.
, Is Wen Xi going to be suspected of murdering the emperor's heir?! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
