[Strategy of Yanxi Palace] Another year of spring

The pure imperial concubine died, and died in the Zhongcui Palace. It is said that her death was very miserable.

Concubine Chun is not an ordinary concubine. Before she died, she was promoted to the imperial concubine, and she was honored as the deputy queen according to the status of the Qing Dynasty. It takes a lot of time.

When the news spread to the Fucha Mansion, even though the mansion was only from the perspective of a bystander, Ruyi was shocked: "This series of events is really too thrilling, if the concubine is not careful, I'm afraid she won't be able to become what she is now. situation."

Shi Chun said: "If Concubine Chun can restrain her fear and not take the lead in planning to make Concubine fall from the horse, Concubine Ling will probably do it to herself."

Ruyi looked over in confusion, but Shichun didn't explain to her.

The former empress was Lingfei's reverse scale, touching it would kill her.

She said: "Right now, the biggest enemy has been eradicated, but for the concubine Ling, there is a bigger crisis. She can return to the palace, and even design the demise of the pure concubine, relying on the emperor's connivance. But at the moment Su The cause of Concubine Shi Chun's death is strange, so private punishment and contempt for the king's law are almost the same. What I am worried about is this matter."

Ruyi: "The emperor has ordered that any discussion of the cause of Concubine Su Chun's death be strictly prohibited in the palace. It should not be as serious as your master thinks."

Shi Chun looked at her with a smile: "What? You also think that it was Concubine Ling who killed the Su family?"

Ruyi frowned and pondered: "Concubine Chun has almost confessed to all the crimes. Now that the emperor has ordered a thorough investigation, he will definitely not let go of the real culprit who killed Empress Xiaoxian. To kill Concubine Chun so impatiently, apart from being with you She has people who hate her deeply, and there is really no need for others."

"So you understand how unfavorable the current situation is for Concubine Ling." Shi Chun said, "Everyone will think that Concubine Ling killed Concubine Su Chun, but she has been waiting for so many years, so how could she be so anxious? Day? If she only wants Concubine Chun to die, there are plenty of ways, but now she is the emperor's woman, unless she really has no sincerity for the emperor, how could she do such a shameful act of self-destruction. Besides, Su Jinghao The cause of death is too tragic, and the person who killed him is so vicious, our concubine Ling has always been straightforward to kill people, but never bothered to humiliate a person."

She sighed softly: "If Concubine Ling can talk it over with the emperor, then that's fine. If she hasn't realized whether she wants to stay in the palace and doesn't take the initiative to solve this matter, the cause of Concubine Su Chun's death is probably It will become a knot in her and the emperor's heart, and whether this matter can be turned over depends mainly on herself."

It's night in the palace.

Yingluo was lying on the bed, her brows were tightly furrowed, it seemed that something troubled her in her dream, preventing her from showing her face.

Suddenly, the sound of broken porcelain and the uproar of the palace people broke the tranquility of the night. Yingluo suddenly opened her eyes, lifted the quilt and sat up, looking in the direction of the noise.

The door opened with a creak, and Mingyu walked in quickly, seeing that she had already sat up, her long hair was wet with sweat, and her face was pale, she sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty didn't sleep well."

Yingluo took her hand and said in a low voice, "I dreamed about my empress again."

Mingyu's hands froze, but Yingluo changed the subject: "The noise just now, I heard it sounded like Yongcong's?"

Speaking of this, Mingyu frowned and stomped her feet: "Sixth elder brother has been making troubles today. A few days ago, he came to Yanxi Palace just to make things difficult for his servants. Today he started smashing things."

"I'll go and have a look." Yingluo fastened the buttons on the cloak, facing the mirror, pursed her pale lips, pushed open the door and went out, heading towards the Hall of Measurement.

The side hall was already in a mess, and the precious porcelain was broken all over the place.Yingluo avoided these fragments and said, "Sweep up everything on the ground."

The palace people surrounding the elder brothers all turned their heads, knelt down in a hurry to salute, then stood up and swept away the broken porcelain, and retreated silently.

Brother Six turned his head and looked over.

He has grown a little taller than when Yingluo saw him last time, and the shadow of filial piety in his eyebrows is getting heavier and heavier.Even the furrowed eyebrows and angry eyes seemed to have a kindness that made Yingluo feel kind.

She walked over, and Yong Cong's gaze moved with her.

He didn't speak until Yingluo sat face to face with him on the edge of the bed. Compared with his disgust and rejection of Yingluo in the Royal Garden last time, his emotions became more complicated this time.

He lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes swept across his snow-white face, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and looked directly into Yingluo's eyes.

"They said, mother... Concubine Su Chun was the real culprit of my empress's mother's death, and you have been investigating the cause of her death. Are you the one who exposed Concubine Chun?"

Yingluo looked at him calmly, her gaze was like looking at an adult of the same age, not like looking at a child, she said, "Yes."

Yong Cong bit his lower lip, showing his usual expression when thinking. It is strange that such a child has a very deep expression of thinking, as if some complicated things are spinning rapidly in his little mind. And these things are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Yingluo stared at him intently, and when she looked at his face, which was indistinguishable from that of the empress, she suddenly noticed the tranquility on his face that did not match her age.

It's really rare. Everyone knows that Sixth Brother is a short-tempered bully, but not many people have seen him in deep thought.

Yong Cong's gaze was fixed on Yingluo's face, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and the memory roared up.He remembered that when he was young, he looked at the nimble big palace maid and called "Aunt Yingluo" word by word. The palace maid with two-style hair was tied with a red rope. A red rope once pulled her two postures apart.

For some unknown reason, the images of Xiao Jiu who died young and the deceased mother clearly appeared in Yong Cong's mind.Over the years, he has repeatedly tried to recall the looks of the deceased Queen's Mother and younger brother but failed, but today he clearly saw their appearance.Fucha Rongyin held Yongyue in his arms, looked at him and smiled, and called him Xiaoliu. Yongcong woke up suddenly in his sleep.

After Huang Erniang's death, no one in the palace dared to call him Xiao Liu except Huang Ama.Concubine Chun was very kind to him, and he was willing to call her Concubine Chunmu, but that was all.When Empress Xiaoxian died, Yongcong had already remembered. He knew who his real mother-in-law was, and he also knew how much Xiaoxian loved him.

So when he got up, he couldn't control his emotions anymore. He didn't know whether it was anger or sadness. He smashed all the utensils he saw in front of him. The people in the palace.

He really wanted to escape from the palace, Yong Cong thought, he never wanted to see these people in the palace again, he wanted to go to the Fucha mansion, the little uncle went to the battlefield, but it didn't matter, the little aunt was still there, he ran to Fucha The government will also have a good time.

At this moment, Concubine Ling came in.

Yong Cong's mood has calmed down a lot, he thought of the silhouette in his memory, and thought of the pots of orchids in Zhongcui Palace.

Such a small person suddenly felt very tired.

Tiredness welling up from the limbs.

He stared into Yingluo's eyes and decided that as long as she said yes, he would believe her.

He heard her "yes."

Yong Cong's shoulders drooped.

It is a lie to say that she has no relationship with Concubine Chun. She has raised him for so many years. Although her intentions may not be very good, she dotes on him very much after all, and even makes up for the maternal love that Yong Cong needs after Xiaoxian to a certain extent, so He respected her and loved her from the bottom of his heart.

The truth always tears all illusions apart.

Never again like at this moment, Yong Cong can clearly realize his own difference. In the past, this identity was just a reliance on his rogue to play tricks. From today, he suddenly understands how different he is.

——Yes, I am the only legitimate son of the Qing Dynasty, so they robbed me, used me, and tried to destroy me at all costs.

He realized it calmly.

And what about this person in front of him?

He looked at Yingluo, looked at her, and suddenly his eyes gradually blurred, this woman without any jewelry, with a plain face, suddenly overlapped with the grand lady of the Changchun Palace back then.

Yong Cong shed tears when he was unconscious, but he didn't notice, his expression was very calm, but the words he said were not like that: "I miss Queen Mother."

Ying Luo has been looking at him calmly, not talking much, not interfering with his thinking, she watched his complexion change, watched his expression soften, and then changed back to the one who used to be wronged and secretly acted like a baby to her Brother Six.

She stretched out her arms to hug him, Yong Cong didn't struggle, he even subconsciously burrowed into her arms eagerly, smelling the familiar smell from childhood, so he stopped in peace.

Concubine Ling patted his back. This child was born with the unyielding arrogance of the Fucha family. His back has been straight since he was a child, and he has never bent down.She raised her head, covered up the wetness in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Yong Cong, Empress Empress is with you in the sky."

The nights in late spring and summer are a bit cold, and they are like two people snuggling together for warmth.

The Silkworm Kissing Ceremony in Manchuria will be here soon, and the noble ladies in Beijing will dress up according to their grades, and they will go to kiss silkworms under the leadership of the queen.

Queen Nala attached great importance to this silkworm kissing ceremony. Not long after her Ama was executed for corruption of ink, Huifa Nala's reputation plummeted.Huifa Nala was not as good as Ulanara in the Nala family. Before the concubine Xian took the back seat, Huifa Nala briefly fought against Ulanara, but after the death of Narbu, Huifa Nala Nala's reputation plummeted, and even the queen's authority in the harem was affected.She definitely wanted to use this silkworm kissing ceremony to re-establish her prestige among the Manchu nobles.

The queen has been very upset recently. The family has held her back in the previous dynasty. The only thing to be happy about is that the emperor and concubine Ling got into a stalemate again because of Su Jing's good business. investigation.The concubine Ling knew the emperor's suspicion, but she never explained it. She was with the sixth elder brother every day, as if she didn't care much about Shengen after she achieved her goal.When the emperor saw this, he felt even more uncomfortable. Anyone who looked at Lingfei's current appearance would suspect that she was pretending to be a snake with the emperor and using him to achieve the purpose of revenge.The emperor may not believe that Concubine Ling will kill Concubine Chun, but he feels that Concubine Ling doesn't care about him, and this is the root cause of their cold war.

When Shichun walked into the crowd, the ladies who saw her laughed and started talking to her.She faced them with a smile on her face, raised her eyes,

He looked at Er Qing who was standing not far away, wearing an overcoat.

Fu Qian is well-known, and his rank is not low. As his first wife, Xitar Erqing enjoys the imperial order of the fourth rank of the court.However, less than half a year after she married Fucha's family, she was taken to the suburbs, and she had no chance to wear such imperial clothes.

Erqing originally thought that she would be quietly killed by Nalan Shichun at Fucha's house, but she did not expect that she would bring her into the palace today to participate in the silkworm kissing ceremony. It can't be to give her a chance to make friends with powerful people, she must be planning something.Er Qing stood vigilantly at the same spot, glanced at some noble ladies who were watching her and whispering, but didn't give them a look.

In the past, she would have liked to attend such a scene very much, but today, an inexplicable sense of uncertainty flooded her heart, and she couldn't care about anything else for a while.

Shichun was talking to Chunxue, and the sisters hadn't spoken to each other for two years. When they were in the palace, they could only meet and exchange a few words in a hurry. Now they finally stood together and chatted a few more words.

"Second sister," Nalan Chunxue, who has now been promoted to concubine, brushed her hair, looked at Shi Chun, and smiled slightly: "I heard that you have been very close to Yanxi Palace recently."

Shi Chun frowned slightly, and explained carefully: "You know that the matter of Empress Xiaoxian has caused ups and downs in Beijing recently. In this matter, we and Yanxi Palace are grasshoppers on the same rope."

Chunxue snorted softly: "The case of Empress Xiaoxian has come to light. If the second sister gets a satisfactory result, she doesn't have to touch the affairs of the palace anymore. The imperial concubine is arrogant and domineering, and she will not let the emperor go. Do you know, since she Since returning to the palace, how many times have you intercepted my chance to serve the bed? It's not that I have any complaints about Empress Xiaoxian, I just hate that woman! You are my sister, shouldn't you be facing me?"

Shichun looked at her, and actually understood Chunxue's unwillingness. Since she entered the palace, she hadn't been favored very much. Finally, the emperor gave her some treats recently. When Wei Yingluo came back, the entire harem became lonely again. .

Chunxue has been in the palace for so many years, and she wants to have an heir.A concubine like her who is not very popular with the emperor will always be terrified of having no children.

Shichun felt sorry for her, but knew that this was doomed to be hopeless.The emperor is different from Yingluo, he loves concubine Ling, liking itself is a very subjective and magical thing, let alone the emperor who has everything.

"It's over here, I probably won't enter the palace often, don't worry. Now that you have been promoted to the concubine, you can invite more relatives to enter the palace. If you need anything in the palace, you can talk to your sister." Shi Chun explain.

Chunxue looked at her, the chill on her face disappeared, and gradually softened into a smiling face, she nodded and said "OK" in a low voice.

A group of ladies from Manchuria followed the queen to complete the etiquette step by step.Erqing stood at the back, but her mind was completely in a mess.Seeing that the silkworm kissing ceremony was coming to an end, Nalan Shichun seemed to have simply come to take her out for a walk, so far he hadn't done anything.

When the ceremony was over, she was slightly relieved, and saw that the group of ladies in front of her had dispersed, and several clan Fujin were talking in twos and threes and preparing to leave the palace.Seeing Shichun walking with them and talking and laughing, Erqing breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to quickly walk out of the palace gate unobtrusively, when several eunuchs covered her mouth and nose and held her up.

She struggled in panic, unable to believe that these servants dared to kidnap Mrs. Gaoming in broad daylight, but these servants obviously had no fear, and drove her around the path, avoiding the patrolling imperial guards, and gradually walked on a somewhat desolate road. palace road.

Erqing recognized where it was, her eyes widened, and she struggled even more, but it was useless, several eunuchs had amazing strength, they carried her all the way into a palace, and then let her go.

Er Qing sat down on the ground, she looked around, familiar palaces, familiar furniture, familiar lichens, and the portrait of Xiaoxian enshrined in the hall.

She screamed suddenly, stumbled from the ground, got up and ran outside, but Mingyu at the door was waiting for her with a few eunuchs, her face was solemn, Erqing turned her head tremblingly, and saw Concubine Ling walking out of the hall.

"It's you! It's you..." She stared at Concubine Ling with wide eyes, and said that since Yingluo returned to the palace, this was the first time she saw Yingluo who had become a concubine.

Yingluo lowered her eyes and turned her head: "Madam, now the evidence is convincing, you see, is it me or you?"

Shi Chun came out from the hall, and behind her, two court ladies dragged out Amber with a face full of defeat.A few days ago, when Hu Po saw what happened to Concubine Chun, she was so frightened that she told Concubine Ling everything, including everything Er Qing had done.Yingluo immediately sent a message to the Fucha Mansion that Shichun entered the palace today to listen to the maid's confession in person.

She and Concubine Ling have always been suspicious of Erqing, but they couldn't find conclusive evidence at all, and they couldn't figure out how she harmed Empress Xiaoxian.It wasn't until Amber explained everything that all the truths came to light again.

Sitara once spent ten years or more searching for all the rare herbs, poisons or medicines in the world.Back then, Xiaoxian was able to miraculously conceive Nine Elder Brothers again. It was because of Erqing's instigation that she used the medicines she gave to restrain the palace cold, including the herbal medicines taken during pregnancy, which were uncommon medicines for tigers and wolves.The medicine for Xiao Xian to conceive with Brother Nine is already an extremely important category, but the "anti-fetal medicine" behind it is what really overdraws her life.

The effect of that medicine is similar to "returning to light", which can make people's body extremely strong for a period of time, creating an illusion that they are going to recover. It was not until after Fucha Rongyin gave birth that the sequelae began to appear.

Brother Jiu's health is not good, it's hard to say that it's not the reason of the first medicine.After Xiaoxian had undergone two doses of harsh medicine, his body was not good enough, and it withered earlier than Qing imagined.

With all the evidence, Shi Chun stepped back and said, "Your Majesty, let's do it."

She knew that Yingluo wanted to end Erqing with her own hands.

A cup of poisoned wine was forcefully poured into Erqing's mouth, she struggled on the ground, blood gradually came out from her seven orifices.The concubine Ling stood there watching, her hatred for Erqing could not be offset by a thousand cuts, but the empress was looking at her in the portrait, when she promised Empress Xiaoxian that she would become a better person, she I don't want Xiaoxian to be disappointed in her in the spirit of the sky.

The door opened and the emperor stepped in.The third wife of the Fucha family disappeared, and it happened that a Fujin from the clan saw her being kidnapped.The emperor didn't take it seriously at first and ordered the imperial guards to look for her, but lost his composure when he heard that she disappeared in Changchun Palace.

Changchun Palace.

After Xiaoxian's death, the palace was left unused, and the palace people did not dare to mention it lightly in front of the Long Live Lord. For many years, the emperor had never heard of this name. Now that he hears it, he suddenly has a sense of absurdity that the years are reversed. .

He felt angry, and he didn't know whether it was because someone disturbed Xiaoxian's tranquility, or Yingluo's incomprehensible attachment to Xiaoxian.

The emperor stood at the door and looked down. Erqing was already poisoned on the lichen. The poison Yingluo fed her was not very poisonous, just to see her dying pain for a while.Er Qing lay on the ground, bleeding from her seven orifices, scratching the carpet with her fingers, her eyes had lost her focus.

"What are you doing!"

The emperor looked at this scene in disbelief, and the imperial concubine looked at Erqing expressionlessly, and behind her stood Fu Heng's daughter-in-law, who had always been polite and dignified.

"Your Majesty, I am punishing the murderer who killed the empress." Yingluo said, "Xita Laerqing gave the empress the medicine of tiger and wolf many times, and it is the chief culprit who killed the ninth elder brother and the empress. The concubine cannot let it go." pass her."

"You can tell me," the emperor looked at her sternly, but Yingluo avoided his eyes: "you can tell me, I will uphold justice for Xiaoxian. But you used lynching to kill the court officials in the palace. Destiny, you don't believe me."

Yingluo took a deep breath: "The concubine does not believe you, but Erqing has served the empress for more than ten years. Her betrayal is unforgivable to the concubine and the concubine. The concubine cannot accept that she died at the hands of others." In his hands, only by killing her with his own hands can he comfort the mother's death."

"To put it bluntly! You still care more about Xiaoxian!" The emperor looked at her disappointedly: "I thought that after the truth about Xiaoxian came to light, you could put aside the hatred in your heart and live a good life with me. Qi and Zhen's future, what you care about is always revenge for Xiaoxian. Then I ask you, what will happen after revenge? When you have fulfilled your long-cherished wish? May I be in your future, or do you say that you have reached your goal? The purpose, then for me, it is no longer necessary?"

Yingluo pursed her lower lips, the emperor's expression turned cold, and the last gleam of fire in his eyes was also extinguished.He turned his eyes to Shi Chun, facing her, he was already completely cold.

"From Fu Heng's family, this is your sister-in-law in terms of seniority. I have never seen such a bold poisonous woman who dared to violate ethics and kill her own sister-in-law under my nose. If you fail to let the old lady know, let Fu Heng I know, how do you explain it?"

Shi Chun knelt down, with no fear on his face: "Back to the emperor, the servant did not kill her. The concubine called the servant to hear the evidence of Sitara's crime. Since the evidence is here, she murdered the former queen. It is a serious crime of contempt for the royal family. She is the daughter-in-law of the Fucha family, and the slaves cleaned up the house before they harmed the Fucha family. As for Er Niang, the slaves have their own explanations. The people's court certification has come into effect. From today onwards, she is no longer Fucha's wife, and she should bear all the crimes she committed. She is not worthy to be the daughter-in-law of the Fucha family."

The emperor took a step back, looked at them, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, great, my concubine Ling and Mrs. Fucha are indeed heroines among women, and I underestimated you." He rubbed his forehead in disgust. He glanced at Erqing who was down: "Forget it, since she deserved what she deserved, I don't want to say anything more. It's just Yingluo." He looked seriously at Concubine Ling: "I'm very disappointed, I don't want to see you again."

He turned around and walked out, Concubine Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked him softly: "Your Majesty, you will not let me down, and I will not let you down, do you remember?"

The emperor's footsteps suddenly froze, and his back was straightened, showing a feeling of stiffness on the contrary.

You don't let me down, and I don't let you down.

This is what Fucha Rongyin said to her when she first married into the palace.

Xiaoxian even told Yingluo this.

Er Qing, who was struggling on the carpet, also widened her eyes.

She knew, she had heard that when the empress was Fujin, she told her and Mingyu with a happy face.

The pain in her body gradually disappeared, and Er Qing's movements of grabbing the carpet slowed down a little bit. Fu Heng, who was full of unwillingness just now, suddenly disappeared from her mind, and she thought of Prince Bao, Prince Fujin in the palace.

That was the happiest time of her life.At that time, she participated in the small election. Although she was going to serve others, the Ministry of Internal Affairs pointed her to Prince Bao's Mansion to serve Prince Fujin.Erqing was born in a family of ministers, her grandfather was a big official, she was not willing to be a slave, but the family has been arranged in advance, even if she is a slave, she will serve Prince Bao who is most likely to become the crown prince The Fucha family is gentle and gentle, and treats her like a sister.

She was still young at that time, and she didn't have that much in her heart. She was very happy when Fujin treated her well, and she wanted to support Fujin to become the mother of the country, so it was not bad to be the first person beside the queen.

Later, she watched with her own eyes that the younger brother of Fujin's natal family grew into a handsome young man, and she herself grew into a graceful young girl.The young girl's heart is always full of spring, and she is trapped in the palace again. As far as she can see, except for the prince, she can only come into contact with this excellent son.

Rather than saying that Fu Heng is her favorite, it might as well be said that it is her obsession.After entering the palace with the empress, seeing the extravagant life of the masters of the palace, she developed ambitions that she shouldn't have, and no longer wanted to stay peacefully by Xiaoxian's side.

In fact, on the day Empress Fucha died, she also stood in the snow all night with tears streaming down her face.

Erqing never felt guilty, let alone regretted everything she had done.

But whenever she thinks of Xiaoxian's shadow, she feels fear.

Xiaoxian never did anything wrong, but in the end, everyone hated her and loathed her, even Fu Qian who said he would love her changed.Only Xiao Xian wished to regard her as a sister until his death.

Erqing frowned and curled up her body.

The time has come, no matter how strong the poison is, after so long, it's time to kill him.

She looked up in a trance, but met the emperor's loathing eyes. The concubine felt her tranquility, looked down, and her eyes were filled with hatred for her.

Erqing turned her eyes away as if she had been stabbed, she didn't want to see other people's hatred for her before she died.

It turns out that she has become an existence that everyone hates.

A tear finally fell.

——If it is possible, I really want to go to hell after death. It is best not to be reborn forever, so as not to dirty the path of reincarnation.

Erqing thought, this was probably her last confidant.
