Chapter 25 The truth about the concubine’s miscarriage (Part 1)
On an early summer night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was past the second watch at this time, and most of the people in the palace had gone to bed. The huge Ziao City was almost silent. Only occasionally did the palace guards who were on duty at night beat out long and long songs.
The "bang bang" sound.
Taking advantage of such a long and confusing night, I followed the familiar path since I was a child and arrived at the Jihui Pavilion where I had often played since I was a child. However, the person behind me in night clothes was a little unable to do what I wanted, and from time to time there was some noise among the flowers and plants where I was walking.
Xi's sudden movement made me uncomfortable, but I couldn't help her - the road was so wide.
I couldn't help but look back and politely reminded: "Young master, please be careful. Although the palace officials have already made arrangements, Yu Lin Lang Huaishu, who is patrolling in the palace, can't help it."
The man was very impatient and choked: "Since you came to me, it's your business to take precautions." I rolled my eyes helplessly, I just wanted to meddle in your business, not for Concubine Duanmu.
? But he had to be patient and said: "Of course it's my business, but since the little master took the trouble to come here alone, he naturally wants to understand. If something goes wrong, no one can be exempted from it. You are familiar with poetry and books.
, you should also know the principle of helping each other in the same boat."
I couldn't see the man's face clearly in the darkness, but he wasn't talking anyway. I looked into the pavilion, and sure enough, Aunt Jixiang was already guarding there. When she saw us, she silently signaled us to come in, but she left.
"Ahem!" Several soft coughs were a bit scary in the dark place. The man's body that was moving forward visibly trembled. I seized the opportunity and asked straight to the point: "My master, I have been thinking about doing something all day long.
If you kill your enemy with a sword, is it possible that the current situation is frightened?"
As soon as the man heard the four words "Killing the enemy", he immediately forgot everything else and said through gritted teeth: "Di Ji has gone around in such a big circle, it's time to tell the truth. You said you killed my child."
In addition to that bitch Li Fanshan, there are others, who is it? I, Xun Rui, will drag them to death together even if I die."
Concubine Duanmu said in her weak voice: "How difficult is life to live? Why doesn't Concubine Ding cherish it so much?"
Concubine Ding trembled and asked suspiciously: "Who are you?"
Concubine Duanmu rarely walked around the harem, and the concubine Ding had been in the palace for less than a year, and she spent most of her time nursing her fetus and confinement. It was no wonder that she could not recognize Concubine Duanmu. As expected, Concubine Duanmu said: "Actually, my identity is
I don’t have to tell you, but it is my Qi family’s motto to treat others with sincerity. I am the late emperor’s concubine Duankang, and it is my destiny that you are here today.”
Concubine Ding was silent for a while, and after a while, she silently performed a junior salute, and said with some hesitation: "But please give me some advice, the noble concubine." Concubine Duanmu said: "I don't dare to tell you, I only know that you
Even if there is a quarrel, there will be nothing that can be done to Concubine Jing, she will only serve as a weapon for others."
As soon as these words came out, both Dingbin and I were startled. I never expected that Concubine Duanmu would say such sharp words, although Dingbin, who was probably obsessed with the pain of losing her son, could see the situation.
Concubine Ding's face looked extremely pale and frightening under the dim candlelight, and she almost started to tremble all over. I saw that she was really abnormal, so I hurriedly took two steps closer to Concubine Duanmu.
Concubine Duan Mu was unaware of her gaffe, and just asked blindly: "You had a miscarriage in February, why did it take more than three months for you to go around complaining? You keep saying that there is evidence to prove that Jing Bin conspired to kill you."
Son, I would like to ask you, is it a human witness or a physical evidence?"
Concubine Ding looked at Concubine Duan with even more suspicion, and I couldn't help but said: "Even if the young master hadn't heard about it, he should have seen it. Concubine Duan's body is extremely weak. She definitely didn't come out at night just to entertain the young master.
Even in civil litigation, evidence is the most important thing, so why not say it, little master?"
Concubine Ding was still not at ease and asked: "By asking this question, do you mean that you are sure that the Queen Mother will intervene in this matter? Or do you think my evidence is fake?"
Concubine Duanmu shook her head and said: "I ask you this just to let you understand that if you want to kill someone, you must first prepare a few more knives, and secondly, you must identify the person's fatal point before cutting down. Otherwise, for the sake of a limb of the enemy
Losing one's own life is a greater loss than dying together."
Concubine Ding was shocked and almost cried: "I know, of course I know. But I live next to that bitch and see her getting complacent every day. Thinking about my child who died long ago, how can I see it?
I wanted to watch her give birth to a prince and enjoy all the glory. I was already suspicious. Yanluo was the eldest palace maid next to me. She never looked down on trivial things. How could she lower her status and fight with a little girl just for a snuff bottle? But at that time
I was blindly sad, but I didn’t expect that people’s hearts are so evil, so I just thought that I was unlucky. Until that day..." Concubine Ding couldn’t help but choked up when she talked about the sad things.
She was in great pain, and her tears kept falling like raindrops. At last, she had not forgotten that she was outside. She tried her best to suppress her crying. From a distance, she might have sounded like a night owl, crying in the dark night.
, You choked and it was hard to say. Even if someone really heard it, it would only add a little more credibility to the fox monsters, ghosts and gods in Ziao City.
In the end, she cried until her strength was almost exhausted and she almost collapsed on the ground. I couldn't bear it, but looking at the mother and concubine sitting calmly, I also understood that nothing could comfort a young man who had lost his son.
Mother. What’s more, if you are in the deep palace, this child actually represents more than just the continuation of your bloodline.
Finally, she stopped talking and continued to describe: "That day, I accidentally heard that Yanluo died suddenly of an emergency in exile. At that time, I still didn't raise any suspicion. Although I hated her for indirectly harming my child, it was still true after all.
The person who had been serving her since she was a child used some connections to ask someone to transport her back to her hometown for burial. But the people I sent actually said that the little palace maid was also dead, and the cause of death was exactly the same as Yanluo. What's more important is that there were more than 20 people in total.
A homeless prisoner, only the two of them died. Madam Toffee, you know how I felt at that time. It was as if someone had strangled my throat so hard that I couldn't hold my breath."
"Since I felt something was wrong, I asked someone to bring a letter to my brother and asked him to investigate. But when it comes to the inner palace, even Dali Temple is not easy to comment on. So I went to dig out the little chamberlain who served in the Shenxing Department.
, he was already tortured to the point of dying, and he just said he was sorry for me. Someone secretly asked him to sweep the pebbles under my feet. He died before he could find out who it was. They were really good at plotting. They thought they would sweep the pebbles under my feet.
I can't find out the murderer if they are all tricked to death? My uncle, He Yun, was appointed as the magistrate of Bazhou. It happened that the little palace maid's hometown was under his rule. He revealed the news a few days ago, and sure enough, someone secretly gave it to her.
I have thousands of taels of silver at home, and I only say that it is a reward from the master of the palace. But those who handle the affairs are all from Taiyuan Changningbo Mansion."
She said this in one breath, taking a few breaths.
