Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter 69: Concubine Shu Dies

Xi Le was stunned for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "My servant...I will ask Chen Zhu now!"

However, Chen Zhu was also involved in a lawsuit—whether it was Xi Le or Chen Zhu, in short, the stewards of Xuanqing Palace were just ordinary palace people before, and they were promoted one after another after following Yun Fenghuang. Prosperity and even life and death rest on the throne.

As a result, the main position suddenly disappeared, and disappeared together with the emperor, and was detained for causing the emperor to fall off a cliff, and they were also imprisoned. Can you still manage Yun Qingman?

No, the master finally came back yesterday, and he came back with the merit of saving him, Xi Le, Chen Zhu and others were so happy that they couldn't think of Yun Qingman even more.

It was Yi Xingen and the others, and that was what Yun Fenghuang ordered to pick them up—Yun Fenghuang didn't specifically mention Yun Qingman at that time, and these people were in a hurry under great grief and joy, but none of them made up for the master's vacancies.

"Slave servant, go and inquire now!" At this moment it was the master who asked again, and Chen Zhucai pleaded guilty profusely, "Slave servant is confused, I forgot about Yun Ronghua before!"

Yun Fenghuang frowned, but this time he didn't have an attack, he just said indifferently: "There will be no next time!"

Chen Zhu hurriedly said: "Yes, thank you, Madam, for your generosity."

He didn't dare to be negligent, so he went out to inquire with all his strength, and soon came back and told Yun Fenghuang that Yun Qingman was with Concubine Shu now, "After Concubine Shu was imprisoned for murdering Concubine Concubine, Yun Rong Hua, please go and serve."

"It's really sisterly love." Yun Fenghuang snorted, "But since entering the palace, the rules of the palace should be the most important, since when a woman who leaves the court will override the rules and customs of her mother's family over her husband's family ? You take someone to Concubine Shu and bring Yun Ronghua back!"

Chen Zhu hesitated, and whispered: "If Yun Ronghua refuses to come back..."

"I asked you to bring her back!" Yun Fenghuang gave him an angry look, "Hurry up!"

"Yes!" Chen Zhusong breathed out, that is, as long as the person is brought along, Yun Qingman's personal wishes are not important.

A moment later, Yun Qingman, who was looking haggard, was led to Yun Fenghuang together with the dowry maid.

"Feng Huang..." Yun Qingman looked at her former friend, her lips moved, and finally knelt down slowly, sobbing, "I beg you to save my sister, she was really wronged!"

Yun Fenghuang propped his cheeks, and lazily said: "One is Concubine Shu, the other is Concubine Gui, my little Jieyu, no one can offend anyone, what is the use of asking me for such things, you should ask Your Majesty It is!"

"But you just rescued him..." Yun Qingman mustered up her courage and said, "If you are willing to go to the Empress Dowager to intercede for my sister, the Empress Dowager..."

As she was talking, Yun Fenghuang's half-smiling gaze made her unable to speak, so she lowered her head and clenched her fists.

"The reason why you and I appear in this palace is because the Empress Dowager is eager for her great-grandson." Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Other things are fine, if it involves the emperor's heir, it is still a male heir in form. Your Majesty doesn't dare to say what is this palace that dares to take credit for being so proud?! I think you think Concubine Shu is having a hard time now, and you don't think that this palace is at ease?"

Yun Qingman's body kneeling on the ground trembled slightly, but she didn't make a sound.

"Yun Ronghua, you probably don't know yet? The empress just came back yesterday. According to the imperial doctor's advice, she must not move lightly and must rest on the couch. After learning about the concubine Shu, she immediately went to ask His Majesty to investigate the truth in person. , Restore Concubine Shu's innocence!" Seeing Yun Fenghuang glanced at Xi Le, Xi Le understood, and said aloud, "As a result, Your Majesty has been grounded right now!"

"Ah!" Yun Qingman was startled, subconsciously raised her head.

Xi Le said: "Think about your Majesty Jian Zuo's ten years of junior high school, what is the status of the imperial concubine, what is the status of the Hussar General, how precious is this pregnant woman, and in the end, she just said nothing and she was gone. A male heir...Who dares to mention this now? You make such a request, it is really embarrassing for your mother."

"..." Yun Qingman opened her mouth, tears dripped from her eyes, she covered her sobs and said in a low voice, "Feng... Your Majesty, this concubine is taking liberties!"

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much." Yun Fenghuang took the time to appreciate her helplessness, resentment and aggrieved, and then said slowly, "This time is of course a serious matter, but Concubine Shu should be fine. of."

Yun Qingman was quite surprised when he heard the words, subconsciously said: "Really?"

"Of course." Yun Fenghuang said in a harmonious voice, "The imperial concubine has been crying for the past few days, and when I went to Luqin Terrace yesterday, her expression was like, tsk tsk, I can't wait to pass out in the court! It can be seen It's really sad! But miscarriage, except for the mother who is really sad and hurts, it's the same for other people. For example, General Hussars, you know he kneels outside the palace I'm sorry, are you really sad for the little prince? No matter how sad you are, can the little prince survive?"

Speaking of this, she sat up a little bit and smiled, "Then Zheng Gu was going to the Duke Yi's mansion after all—after all, in the case of Wannian County before, Zheng Gu, Cui Wan, Ji, and the Regent All the kings have their fates, but the Duke of Yi’s mansion is safe and sound, but it’s a great show! Now that Zheng Ju and the others have seized the opportunity, can they join hands to add some trouble to the Duke of Yi’s mansion?”

Seeing what Yun Qingman wanted to say, Yun Fenghuang waved his hands and didn't give her a chance. He just said, "Concubine Shu has been with Your Majesty all these years, and His Majesty has a lot of affection for her. The children of the left and right concubines are gone. It's not as good as loving Concubine Shu, turning around and pinching it in the temple, the things in the palace are naturally thunderous and rainy, at most like Yuan Niangniang, demoted to two ranks and grounded for a few days, when the limelight passes, it must still be gold and jade Isn't your wife?"

"But at home..." Yun Qingman struggled to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Yun Fenghuang—she raised a light-white index finger against her vermilion lips, and her lips became redder and whiter. Sweet way: "Rong Hua speaks carefully! Don't forget that Ye Guogong once said that the harem should not be involved in politics. Such things are handled by the father and brother at home. What have we to do?"

Then he sent her away.

Chen Zhu waited for Yun Qingman to go far away, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to keep an eye on Yun Ronghua? I'm afraid I won't be reconciled to seeing her leave."

"It doesn't matter." Yun Fenghuang said lazily, "She is a member of the palace, not a prisoner of the palace. Besides, although the palace and their sisters have no blood relationship, they have the same father after all. The broken bones are attached to the tendons! Concubine Shu is down and out right now, it’s okay if it’s inconvenient for the sisters of this palace to visit, even her own sisters have to stop her, it’s unreasonable... Bengong is the kind of inconsiderate person Is it the seat of man?"

Chen Zhu hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Your Majesty is magnanimous and considerate, and she pities the lowly people like servants the most! It's the servants who are stupid."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said nothing, waved his hand and let him go.

Chunjia didn't come over that day. According to Chen Zhu's information, he was dealing with political affairs in Xingxintang during the day. Deng Chengzhai came here specially. The monarch and ministers closed the door and whispered for a while. I don't know if there is a clue or even a result of the assassination. .

In the evening, the emperor left the Xingxin Hall, greeted the Empress Dowager and the three empress dowagers successively, and then went to the Luqin Terrace before lighting the lamps.

Chen Zhudao: "Your Majesty was about to leave after sitting with the loving mother Empress Dowager, and the loving mother Empress Dowager also repeatedly urged Your Majesty to comfort the noble concubine empress. But Yue Jieyu suddenly ran out and made a fuss with Your Majesty... Later, Your Majesty came again Go to the Empress Dowager's place, say a few words in a hurry and leave, and the palace people at the Empress Dowager's side don't have enough tea."

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said: "I suddenly like this Yue Jieyu a little bit."

Then I asked the emperor how he was at Luqin Terrace at the moment?

Chen Zhu said awkwardly: "Slave...haven't found out yet."

No way, Concubine Zheng's background, the time she entered the palace, and her relationship with eunuchs are not comparable to those in Xuanqing Palace. Even in the Xinggong Palace, the place where she lives is also very well-managed, not Chen Zhu at all. Level stewards can be detected.

Therefore, Yun Fenghuang didn't mean to blame him, but only showed a subtle smile: "Your Majesty is at Luqin Terrace tonight...you are doing well! I originally thought that if His Majesty came to my side again tonight, I would be fine again. Or rest at Yue Jieyu's place, how should I deal with it, but unexpectedly he went to the imperial concubine's place..."

Seeing Chen Zhu and the others looking at him curiously, but he didn't mean to explain to them, he just said, "I didn't sleep well last night, add some tranquilizers to the medicine tonight, make sure I sleep well Until dawn, understand?"

The palace people hurriedly said: "Yes!"

So Yun Fenghuang really had a good sleep, and it was almost noon the next day when he got up refreshed, and then heard the news without any surprise: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu... is gone! "

"It was fine yesterday, why is it gone?" Yun Fenghuang smiled softly at the bronze mirror and asked casually.

While dressing her, Nian Xuan said, "I don't know the details of the mess outside, it seems to be swallowing gold... It seems that she has left a suicide note, saying that she was wronged, and she is willing to die to show her will."

"It's really worthy of being the eldest daughter raised by Lord Yi." Yun Fenghuang smiled sweeter, "Just knowing the general."

In order not to let the family suffer losses due to him, he would rather die... Although Yun Fenghuang said those words in front of Yun Qingman yesterday, she is sure that she will pass them on to Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu will most likely choose to sacrifice herself to save her life family, but did not expect Yun Shuangyu to be so quick, as if she was afraid of being stopped, she swallowed gold as soon as she said it.

Yun Fenghuang judged others by herself, and thought she would take advantage of the time when she was discovered to throw herself into the water and hang herself on the beam. She not only achieved the stamina of "declaring her will with death", but she would not die...

Now it seems that Concubine Shu's integrity is too high.

Oh no, no, it should be said that Concubine Shu is a bit brainy after all, unlike her who is so flexible and quick-witted...

Of course, Yun Fenghuang appreciates Concubine Shu's brains!

If Yun Shuangyu was as witty as she was, when Duke Yi's mansion had such a daughter in the palace, when would she be able to take revenge?

Thinking of this, she asked Nian Xuan with a smile: "When did you discover this? What did your majesty say?"

"It was reported an hour ago. It seems that the person delivering breakfast discovered it?" Nian Xuan said, "Your Majesty rested at Luqin Terrace last night. He was about to go there immediately after receiving the news, but the imperial concubine heard that Concubine Shu In the suicide note that was left behind, he cried out for grievances, and was so angry that he fainted all of a sudden! Your Majesty can only stay and look at the imperial concubine first... I don’t know if I will go to see Concubine Shu right now."

So of course there is no word of mouth.

Yun Fenghuang said in his heart, so it’s no wonder that the emperor hasn’t come to him so far. It’s not wise for her to remind concubine Shu to die, and she didn’t intend to hide it from the emperor. Therefore, the medicine given to her last night added soothing things , just to avoid being woken up by the emperor's yelling in the morning, and listening to his seizures... Really, Concubine Shu loves to death, why should she sacrifice her sleep?

Is Concubine Shu's life as important as her sleeping well?

That must not be there!

"I really didn't expect the imperial concubine to be so cooperative, um, I can't let her delay the time of His Majesty." Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes and ordered Nianxuan, "Be quicker, let's go and see... After all, Concubine Shu is also Bengong's older sister!"

She pretended to wipe the corners of her crooked eyes that were smiling instead of tears with a handkerchief, and sighed, "How can I not give her a ride myself?"

The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, you have to seize the opportunity to accumulate experience, so that you can be more calm and safe when sending Duke Yi and his family later!
