Shu Jin rode in a warm sedan and hurried all the way to Jingren Palace. Before he reached the main hall, he heard the painful wailing of a woman from the west side hall, "Emperor Physician! Save my child..."
Shu Jin paused for a moment, and could smell the smell of blood faintly under his nose, then quickly walked straight to the main hall.
Today is the Wang family's birthday, so Jingren Palace is naturally very lively. In addition to the main position, Concubine Xi, and the second position, Ning Guiren, Ji Yaosheng, Yun Yaosheng, there are also Li Guiren, Guo Changzai, Zhang Changzai and so on.
The concubines are not tall. The emperor, with his dark and stern face, sits in the middle, and all the concubines are as silent as cicadas.
Shu Jin couldn't help but feel his scalp tense, and he hurriedly stepped forward and curtsied, "Hail, Your Majesty." Then he quickly looked at Concubine Xi, "How is Wang Changzai?"
Concubine Xi's eyes instantly turned red, "Wang Changzai was suddenly frightened and saw red on the spot. I'm afraid..." After saying that, Concubine Xi quickly knelt down to the emperor and said, "It's all my fault for being careless. I should have checked carefully beforehand."
Those who give gifts."
"Congratulations?" Shu Jin grasped the key point, "Is there anything wrong with the congratulations?"
Yong Zheng said with a dark face: "Someone put a dead mouse in Wang's gift!"
Shu Jin: What the fuck?
Ning Guiren was frightened by a dead snake and had his fetus inflated, but Wang Changzai got a dead mouse?!
Is this considered plagiarism?
Shu Jin immediately thought that the gifts from Concubine Mao and Concubine Jin were all silk and satin, and there was no way for mice to be stuffed inside. They must have been stuffed into those exquisite brocade boxes...
Concubine Xi added solemnly: "It is still a pregnant female rat. It was pierced by a golden hairpin and it is bloody. No wonder Wang Changzai was too frightened."
Shu Jin: It’s not so much scary as disgusting – the taste is too strong!
Shu Jin frowned, showing disgust: "Who sent this as a congratulatory gift?"
Concubine Xi said: "The unicorn that stabbed the mother rat to death gave the child a golden hairpin... it was a gift from Yikun Palace."
Oh, little rice cakes, little rice cakes, even a hairpin can take the blame... Shu Jin really admires Concubine Xi's design ability.
The first taboo item in the mouth has always been, followed by spices and powder. Jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and painting, and silk and satin have always been quite safe. But in such a short time, Concubine Xi still stuffed one into her.
dead mouse.
There was hesitation on Yongzheng's face, "I have already informed Concubine Dun, let's see what she says."
Concubine Dun's Yikun Palace is far away from the Sixth Palace in the West, so it can't be reached in a short while.
After observing the words and expressions, Shu Jin said: "I don't know how many people have passed through the hands of that congratulatory gift, and it may not have been done by Concubine Dun."
Concubine Xi's face froze, "What do you mean by your sister's words?"
Shu Jin said calmly: "It has to be investigated carefully when it concerns the emperor's heir." Concubine Xi and Concubine Dun were not on good terms. If something like this happened, the emperor would definitely have doubts.
Yongzheng nodded slightly: "What the noble concubine said makes sense."
Concubine Xi's heart sank, and she hurriedly said: "However, Wang Changzai has always been gentle and modest, and has never been an enemy to anyone. Except Concubine Dun, no one hates her."
Since Jingren Palace and Yikun Palace were at odds, Concubine Dun naturally disliked the Wang family.
This little rice cake is really not popular. If you think about it carefully, he and Wang Chang had some quarrels in their early years.
Shu Jin did not refute, "Concubine Dun is a bit impatient, but she doesn't have any deep grudge against Wang Chang Zai."
Concubine Xi clenched the handkerchief in her hand, "Although Concubine Dun raised the eighth elder brother, he is not her biological child after all. She has always been sour and jealous. The day before yesterday, my concubine went to Yikun Palace and she was full of sour words.
Jealous words are really not kind to Wang Changzai."
Having said that, Concubine Xi looked at Yongzheng: "Your Majesty, apart from Concubine Dun, there is really no one else who hates Wang Chang Zai so much."
As she said this, Concubine Xi couldn't help but shed tears, "Perhaps Concubine Dun is not just disgusted with Wang Changzai, but the concubine. It's pitiful that Wang Changzai was angered for no reason!"
Concubine Xi's tearful analysis and accusation gave a sufficient motive.
Yongzheng also had a gloomy face, and Nian's temperament was indeed not good...
Shu Jin looked at his nose and heart, and couldn't help but secretly thought, why hasn't this little rice cake come yet after such a big thing happened?
As the saying goes, when Cao Cao arrives, Cao Cao will arrive.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Dun is here." Zhang Lin, the eunuch in front of the imperial family, called Qian'er to report.
Yong Zheng was already impatient with waiting. Hearing this, his tone became even more serious: "Let her in!"
The emperor's sudden summons made Concubine Dun instinctively feel that something was wrong. When she arrived at Jingren Palace, Concubine Dun saw the continuous wailing in the west side palace, and she immediately understood that there was something wrong with Wang's pregnancy - the concubine was right.
it is true!
Entering the palace and seeing the emperor's thunderous and furious face, Concubine Dun couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart. She quickly stepped forward with a delicate and delicate expression to say hello, "The emperor has summoned me, what are your orders?"
Before the emperor could get angry, Concubine Xi came forward crying and grabbed Concubine Dun's sleeves: "My sister just hates me, why bother to hurt the innocent Wang Changzai? She finally got pregnant and had a good child...
I was harmed by you!"
Concubine Dun's face turned pale and she hurriedly defended: "Don't talk nonsense! How can I be harmful to Wang Chang?"
Concubine Xi turned around and grabbed the exquisite brocade box from the table aside, and threw it to the ground. Immediately, the female rat that was stabbed to death by the gold hairpin rolled out of the box and rolled bloody to Concubine Dun's feet.
side.
Concubine Dun had never seen such a battle before. She was so frightened that she turned pale on the spot. She staggered and fell to the ground, "What is this!!!"
Concubine Xi said bitterly: "This is the good thing you gave to Wang Changzai! I only regret that I didn't check it in advance, so I shocked Wang Changzai's fetus!"
Concubine Dun was so frightened that she crawled to the emperor's feet and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I have always been timid. Even if I look at this kind of thing, I will be frightened to death. How can I dare to touch such a thing?! I am so timid."
It’s unjust!”
Concubine Dun's face was pale at this moment, and her slender body was trembling beside the emperor's legs. She was really pitiful.
Yong Zheng frowned, but his tone softened a bit: "Seriously it wasn't you?"
Concubine Dun hurriedly shook her head and said, "I'm scared to death just thinking about this kind of thing! That's a dead mouse!" As she said that, she shrank back and said, "Your Majesty, please put that thing away first! I'm afraid.
Concubine, I am afraid!"
As she said this, Concubine Dun's tears rolled down her cheeks, and she held the pear blossoms in the rain.
This pitiful look made Yong Zheng feel a little softer, and he glanced at Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin hurriedly stepped forward and collected the dead rat, but a string of dirty blood stains was still left on the ground.
Seeing this, the eldest palace maid Zhilan stepped forward and helped her lady up.
Concubine Dun stood up tremblingly, took a look at the blood stains, then trembled again, and murmured: "It's so scary... No wonder Wang Changzai was so frightened that she had fetal contractions."
This scene made Concubine Xi so angry that her nose became crooked. Concubine Dun only cried twice, but the emperor actually believed her?!
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xi was so willing. She looked at Yongzheng with tears in her eyes, "The golden hairpin given by Qilin to her son is clearly a congratulatory gift from Concubine Dun! She is clearly pretending!"
Concubine Dun said pitifully: "Of course that hairpin was a gift from me, but this mouse... really has nothing to do with me! I'm scared to death just by looking at this kind of thing!" As she said that, Concubine Dun's body trembled a few more times.
And he came to the emperor's side and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have any deep hatred against Wang Changzai. What reason does I have to harm her?"
Concubine Xi gritted her teeth and said, "You are jealous of Wang Changzai's pregnancy!"
Concubine Dun timidly said: "I envy Wang Changzai's good fortune, but I already have the eighth prince. The eighth prince regards me as his biological mother, and I am very satisfied in my heart."
When Ning Guiren, who was standing behind Concubine Xi, heard this, she couldn't help but gnashed her teeth in hatred. She was the eighth prince's biological mother!
