"Master, Mr. Xu Mingyi, who is with Concubine Tong of Jingren Palace, would like to see you!"
Those who come are not kind, and those who are kind do not come. This sentence suddenly popped up in Wen Xi's mind. Xu Mingyi and Xu Xinyi, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, are brothers. They are both confidants of Concubine Tong. It must be a good intention to send such a person here.
But gentleness cannot be ignored either.
Xu Mingyi looked to be in his thirties, but he had an upright appearance. After seeing the gift, he said: "My master invites Concubine Wen Xi to visit Jingren Palace!"
Wen Xi heard his tone that was a bit unkind, so she said politely: "I am not feeling well today. If you need anything, please come to me personally, master!"
Xu Mingyi smiled, with a bit of arrogance, and said in a loud voice: "Returning to your noble master Wen Xi, this matter involves the birth of the concubine. My master wants to ask you something."
Wen Xi was startled and glanced at Aunt Wu Lu beside her, with a sneer on her lips. Could it be that Concubine Tong really wanted to blame the Chengqian Palace for this matter?!
Wen Xi stood up and sneered: "Okay, I really want to see if Concubine Tong didn't take care of Duan Concubine's fetus. What else does she have to argue with?"
After hearing Wen Xi's blatant accusations, anger suddenly appeared on his face, and his face turned blue and white. However, due to the gap in status, he did not dare to say anything, so he only said in a strange and sinister manner: "Mother, please——"
When they arrived at Jingren Palace, Xu Xinyi led Wen Xi directly to Duan Bi's house. When he entered, he smelled the smell of blood. Although it was covered up by the scent of lily, it still couldn't be concealed. Duan Bi was lying on her bed
On the bed, his face was as papery and stained with tears, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was in a trance. He was much more haggard than yesterday, and he murmured: "My child...my child..." I couldn't help but feel something in my eyes.
Overflowing with tears, so pitiful!
Seeing Wen Xi coming, Concubine Tong greeted her with a slight smile, "I'm really sorry to ask my sister to go there in person, but it's just that this time involves a serious matter, so I can only ask my sister to come." There was a hint of helplessness in her tone.
meaning.
Wen Xi knew that she was hiding a secret in her smile, and did not want to pretend to be affectionate with her sister, so she directly said with a cold face: "I remember that the Empress Dowager personally ordered Concubine Tong to ensure that Concubine Duan's baby was born safely. Concubine Tong
Is that how it’s guaranteed?!”
Concubine Tong fell in love with Leng's buttocks, and she suddenly became livid. She didn't expect that Wenxi wouldn't give her face as soon as she opened her mouth, right? So she said coldly with a straight face: "Although I try my best, I can't resist those things."
A villain is using a dirty trick! If I fail to save Duanbi’s fetus, I will go to the Empress Dowager to apologize, but before that, I must first find out the person who murdered Duanbi’s unborn heir!”
Wen Xi listened to her secret words and made it clear: "What Concubine Tong means is that I have harmed the concubine's child?!"
Concubine Tong then smiled coldly, pointed to the three-foot-tall coral tree on the table beside her and said, "Concubine Wen Xi, does she still remember this thing?"
Wen Xi glanced at it and said casually: "It looks familiar. It seems to be from my palace."
Concubine Tong raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Sister Wen Xi has a good memory! Since she came from your palace, I have not wronged you! The imperial doctor has personally verified that this coral tree has been painted with a large amount of fresh horse musk deer.
And Duan concubine kept it in her house and played with it from time to time. The horse musk deer gradually penetrated into her body, so the fetus was born!"
Wen Xi frowned and ordered: "Mother Wu, go and see that coral!"
"Yes!" Mrs. Wu Lu knelt down and bowed, stepped forward, smelled and looked at it carefully, and touched it twice carefully, and said, "It is indeed the one that the slave personally came to give to Duan Concubine.
It’s just that when I sent it, I didn’t put any fragrance on the coral because I didn’t know what kind of spices Duanbi liked, and now the coral can smell the strong scent of horse musk from far away!”
Concubine Tong smiled disdainfully: "You said there is no incense, who can prove it?"
Wu Lu bowed to Concubine Tong and said: "If this servant is the maid and eunuch of the entire Chengqian Palace, I can prove it. Concubine Tong will definitely say that she is shielding her. But Concubine Tong is so confident, but it can prove that this coral is
Was there such a strong fragrance on the day the slave delivered it?"
"You——" Concubine Tong was left speechless by Wu Lu's argument, and her delicate and beautiful face was so angry that it was distorted.
"Hmph!" Concubine Tong waved her veil and said, "Anyway, this coral came from my sister's Chengqian Palace. Duan concubine was pregnant again. I was ordered by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to take charge of the six-year-old palace.
Concubine Duan has to give an explanation for the affairs of the palace! Who is sister Wen Xi who you suspect the most? I have no choice but to temporarily ground you and investigate the inside story carefully! Concubine Duan was also suspected of murdering Guo Guiren's dragon fetus.
Still grounded? So don’t feel aggrieved, sister!”
What a big airs! What a person in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace! Wen Xi sneered: "Concubine Tong is a lady after all, but she doesn't know the principle of order of hierarchy?!"
"What?! What do you mean?" After hearing Wen Xi's harsh words, Concubine Tong became angry and her voice rose several times!
Wen Xi straightened her body and held her head high, and said proudly: "It was the emperor's decree that the concubines were banned that day. The honorable punishes the humble, so we must obey it! And I am the imperial concubine personally named by the emperor, and I have been given a double-character title! Although Concubine Tong is also a noble concubine,
So far, there is no title! I am the legitimate daughter of the Niu Hulu family of the Shangsan Banners, and Concubine Tong is just a member of the Han army with a yellow flag! It is very clear who is superior and who is inferior! How can Concubine Tong be so humble?
The following offenses should be punished, Your Majesty?!"
"You!!——" Concubine Tong was so angry that she couldn't breathe evenly, her face turned pale, and she covered her chest with one hand, as if she had asthma! Aunt Li hurriedly caressed Concubine Tong and said, "Wen Xigui
Master’s words are too harsh!”
"Presumptuous!" Wen Xi shouted sternly, and went up and slapped Grandma Li hard. Half of Grandma Li's face swelled up because of the force. "A slave dares to teach his master a lesson? Tong
This is how the imperial concubine disciplines her slaves! No wonder there are so many people in the palace who don’t understand the rules! So many unsightly things happen!"
She was bullied to the point of being bullied, and Wen Xi didn't mind being more arrogant, and said sternly: "If Concubine Tong wants me to be banned from the palace, she should ask for the emperor's imperial edict or the decrees of the two palaces! Things are in my palace.
It was fine at that time, but when it comes to your Jingren Palace, it turns into a dirty thing that can cause miscarriage! Concubine Tong is really good at it!"
Concubine Tong took a big breath, suppressed the anger in her chest, and said: "This is something sent by the nanny next to Concubine Wen Xi. I am in charge of the Sixth Palace, so I have to use her to torture the inside story!"
Wen Xi sneered. If you can't touch her, do you want to touch the people around her? Wen Xi still said: "As before, there is a difference between high and low! How can the humble take away the people around the noble? You should go and invite them.
Let’s do it! Aunt Wu, let’s go!”
With that said, without looking back, he led Aunt Wu and a large group of people out of Jingren Palace with great fanfare.
