Chapter 389 Concubine Wan Passed Away, Concubine Shu Took Action

In the spring of the twenty-third year of Chenghua.

Zhenning Palace.

In the corridor, the maid on night watch passed by holding a candle, ignoring a half-closed window.

Through the window, you can see a man wearing a eunuch's brocade robe holding a fat white cat in his arms, feeling quite uncomfortable standing.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine!"

Accompanied by the soft voice of the palace maid, Concubine Wan Gui arrived. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a high bun hairstyle, and her headdress was decorated with pavilions, cranes and other mascots carved from gold.

Concubine Wan Gui lay on her side on the phoenix, and her own maid placed the exquisite desserts on the small wooden table.

"My darling Pistachio, come here."

Concubine Wan Gui waved to Fengli Dao with a lazy and charming voice.

She was half lying on Fengta, while Fengli Dao slowly walked to Fengta and sat down next to Fengta, holding the cat in his arms.

"His Royal Highness will become an adult after marrying a concubine. I'm afraid the days to come will be even more difficult. You have to help me!"

Concubine Wan Gui said with a mixture of tenderness and reproach. She inserted the pastry with a flower and put it into Fengli Dao's mouth. She had always liked Yu Huatian, a good-looking and capable slave, and was willing to be... slightly frivolous by him.

Eunuchs have lost their ability as men, but they still yearn for masculinity. Many eunuchs are looking for something to eat in the palace. Letting Yu Huatian touch her feet is not considered excessive in Concubine Wan Guifei's opinion. moment.

At this time, a new maid brought tea to Feng Tao and looked at Feng Li Dao calmly.

Concubine Wan Gui raised her teacup and took a sip, then looked at Fengli Dao on Fengtao, with a fierce look in her eyes. She leaned close to Fengli Dao's ear and said, "Kill her!"

"ah?"

Fengli Dao raised his eyes stupidly, as if he really didn't understand what she said, and asked which one it was?

Concubine Wan Gui raised her chin to signal, and Fengli Dao nodded quickly.

Concubine Wan Gui showed a satisfied smile. She was worried that the prince's power and prestige would increase after marrying a concubine, but she didn't expect that a blind maid would come up to vent her anger.

For a little palace maid to look at her "darling pistachio" with that kind of look, isn't this a proper way of taking death?

Concubine Wan Gui was already thinking about how to make this maid die miserably, but she didn't expect that she suddenly felt a pain in her belly, her expression became extremely painful, and the tea cup in her hand fell to the ground and was smashed. She herself fell to the ground lifeless.

In the spring of the 23rd year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, Concubine Wan Gui died. It was later discovered that the governor of the West Factory, Yu Huatian, conspired with a foreign maid to poison Concubine Wan Gui. Subsequently, a royal scandal was exposed. Yu Huatian had not purified himself and was dirty. The emperor was furious at the suspicion of troubling the palace and ordered all news to be suppressed.

The death of Concubine Wan Gui caused a great shock in the palace. Although the royal family tried their best to block the news, some rumors still spread.

Many people knew about Yuhuatian's bed embroidery with the imperial concubine, but no one expected that Yuhuatian would be a man. If he hadn't been caught and found out, who would have thought of a eunuch who had been in the palace since he was a child. When did he become a man?

After this incident, the emperor did not dare to rest assured about the eunuchs. The West Factory was immediately closed down, and all the personnel related to Yuhuatian were executed. The Forbidden City was filled with the smell of blood for several months.

The emperor at this time was crazy, and no one knew what he was crazy about, but no one dared to persuade him at this time, not even the queen mother or the prince, because it would really kill people.

…

At night, in the Ouchi Palace, a dark shadow passed by, evading some guards outside the Forbidden City, and hid in a dark corner.

The closer you go into the palace, the tighter the guards become, and they are even more heavily guarded during this period. Because the emperor was very unhappy and killed a lot of people during this period, the guards naturally did not dare to slack off in any way and were on patrol carefully.

A black shadow disappeared into the Forbidden Palace, appearing and appearing at will in a very familiar manner.

"I, I'm here, come out!"

A timid voice sounded from the corridor on one side, but it was a eunuch wearing a brocade robe. His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others.

"Eunuch Hong, weren't you very courageous when you framed Concubine Shu? Why have you become so timid now? There is no tail behind you!"

The voice of the man in black was full of sarcasm, but Eunuch Hong did not dare to refute at all, because now his life and that of his family members were in the hands of others.

Eunuch Hong bowed his head humbly and said, "Don't worry, our family is always cautious. Before coming here, I walked around three or five times and no one would follow."

The man in black glanced at Eunuch Hong and said, "Since you, surnamed Hong, are here today, you must have decided to help Concubine Shu return to the palace!"

"My hero, Concubine Wan Guifei forced you to betray your empress, and there is nothing I can do about it!"

Eunuch Hong’s name was Qu Dao. When Liu Xi was able to frame the little fairy and drug her, it was the dead eunuch Eunuch Hong who acted as a spy. He listened to Liu Xi’s words and wanted to seek refuge with Concubine Wan Gui. Unexpectedly, Concubine Wan Gui died before long. .

Concubine Wan Gui died, and the emperor began to hate eunuchs. In addition, his family members outside the palace were also caught by the Murong family. When he got the news, Eunuch Hong was frightened and came to see her obediently.

"You should find an opportunity to submit the things here to the emperor, and wait for an opportunity to help Concubine Shu return the favor. Once this is done, you will be able to make meritorious deeds!"

The man in black handed a porcelain bottle to Eunuch Hong. The emperor had killed so many people during this period. He should have started to calm down and be able to think of a way to start planning.

The emperor was already moody, restless, and insomniac due to the death of Concubine Wan. After taking the medicine, the emperor's insomnia became very serious and he could not sleep at night.

This kind of secret medicine with miraculous effects will not be detected. Next, we only need to combine it with other secret medicines to make the emperor dream of Concubine Shu, and he will naturally think of the good things of the old people. At that time, Liu Xi's frame-up will be exposed, and everything will be done naturally.

All plans are proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the side hall that night, the emperor, who was dressed in a wealthy manner, sat on the dragon throne on the nine-foot platform. Eunuch Hong stood by, and there were palace maids standing and serving on the side, while singing and dancing were being performed below.

Seven or eight young women in colorful clothes in the hall were waving their sleeves and performing wonderful singing and dancing. There was also a special band playing music on one side.

"Alas!"

The emperor looked at the singing and dancing, but he couldn't watch it at all. He sighed in annoyance, and the singing and dancing stopped.

The emperor waved his hand at the palace maids and singers below, and angrily said: "Get out, get out, you are all good-for-nothings."

The singers and palace maids below knelt down tremblingly and saluted, and the palace maids and singers retreated together. During this period, the emperor was moody and had killed many people, so they didn't dare to stay for long.

"Your Majesty, drink a bowl of nourishing soup!"

Eunuch Hong brought a bowl of soup medicine at this time. The emperor didn't doubt it and drank it all. He felt a little more energetic. He waved his hand more and more irritably. When he was about to say something, he suddenly closed his eyes and tilted his head. Soon, snoring came out.
