The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Green leaves blowing cool jade look (2)

In the evening, in Hanzhang Palace and Deyang Palace, Zhu Chengbi walked to the window and slowly opened the window, only to see a few jackdaws flying up from the treetops, noisily flying towards the blood-like setting sun, flowing clouds Against the backdrop of thousands of miles, only a few jet-black wing feathers slowly fell to the ground.

Zhu Xi came over with a lamp of Xueding Hancui, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made."

Zhu Chengbi nodded: "How about Concubine He and Concubine Yi?"

"Your Majesty has ordered that Empress Concubine He and Concubine Yi must not dare to disobey Her Majesty's wishes. The Guanju Palace is also quite peaceful, while the Nihong Pavilion has been sealed off, and all the palace people are under strict surveillance." Zhu Xi paused. After a pause, he said in a low voice, "Everyone in the six palaces thought that Liu Cainv's words were disrespectful, so she was sent to the Department of Shenxing. The empress suffered from an old knee disease and was bedridden."

Zhu Chengbi was silent for a moment, Fang sighed slightly: "Where is Ling Wen?"

Zhu Xi said slowly: "It has been buried well. The empress knows people with her eyes. At the beginning, the concubine Jiang slandered the empress. If she was Jiang's personal maid, she should have been executed together, but the empress saw that her mother was dying. Let her go back to bid farewell to her mother, Ling Ru is very grateful to her mother. Ling Wen is Ling Ru's cousin, so naturally she deeply feels the kindness of her mother and does things for her." Zhu Xi sighed, "Ling Ru After Wen's identity was exposed by Liu Cainv, she embraced death, but after all, she did not betray the empress, even if she committed suicide by swallowing gold, she left a suicide note for the empress that could kill the Liu family."

Zhu Chengbi's eyelashes like crow's wings trembled slightly, and there was a bit of regret in his voice: "She didn't have to die. In fact, this palace has enough ways to make Concubine Shu afraid of Liu Shi, but it's just that death is like a death on a camel's back." The last straw is something that Mrs. Liu cannot predict."

Zhu Xi nodded, and quietly wiped away a trace of tears from the corners of his eyes: "Although it is too dangerous to give Concubine Shu Gui the medicine, after all, the Imperial Physician Liang is familiar with it. Mrs. Liu was confident in her own judgment. Once Liu's silver needles were found to be poisoned on the rim of the bowl, the empress could claim that Mrs. Liu had tampered with the silver needles in advance to set the blame on her, and that Liu's forged Concubine Shu Gui will definitely not trust her anymore because of her surname, fabricating her hometown, collaborating with the Ge family to assassinate the emperor, and persecuting Ling Wen to slander her mother."

Zhu Chengbi glanced at Zhu Xi approvingly: "You see things clearly and act neatly. Mrs. Liu wanted to frame Bengong, so naturally she thought that Bengong slandered the emperor to kill Zhao Quanxin, and it was also to drive a distance between Bengong and Concubine Shu Gui. Once her scheme succeeds, this palace will definitely be abolished, and Ling'er will also miss the throne."

Zhu Xi quite sighed: "Liu's thoughtfulness is meticulous. At the beginning, he tricked Ge's to join forces with him. He used Ge's hands to achieve the goal of gaining favor. Once the emperor believes that Liu is loyal, the empress will be in a worrying situation. However, The Empress gave medicine to Concubine Shu to disrupt Liu's plan, Liu's position is already in disarray, and her behind-the-scenes mastermind should also show his feet."

Zhu Chengbi pondered slightly: "Concubines of the sixth palace, no one is willing to allow Concubine Shu to ascend to the position of Empress Dowager, and to be subjugated to barbarians for the rest of her life. If so, after framing this Palace, the next step is to murder Xuanqing, and there are concubines of princes... ..." Zhu Chengbi hesitated slightly, "Isn't it Concubine He or Concubine Yi?"

Zhu Xi said: "My servant guesses that I'm afraid I won't. After all, the concubine Hefei and the concubine Yi are working together with the empress. The servant girl is afraid that the Chen Qiaoyi mutiny will be staged in this harem, but the empress does not need to worry. , the truth will definitely come to light tonight."

Zhu Chengbi stared for a moment, and the armor inlaid with gold and jade tapped lightly on the edge of the teacup, making a "ding" sound, and said lightly, "Where's Imperial Physician Liang?"

"It has been arranged in Huining Hall." Zhu Xi lowered his eyes and said, "Zhuyu is also waiting in Huining Hall, there will be no mistakes."

Zhu Chengbi nodded slightly, turned his eyes to look at the gradually darkening twilight again, his heart sank, and he ordered as usual: "Dress up for me, pretend to be Zhuyu, and go to Shenxing Division."

The lobby of Shenxingsi was empty at this time, only the faint candlelight flickered. Lilac had already been waiting here. After Zhu Chengbi entered the hall quietly, he changed into a pleated skirt with a gold silk brocade luan wearing a peony tail. It is full of plump and round pearls, like the rays of the sun flowing, and the golden peony-shaped beads hanging down from the golden steps of the double phoenix holding the pearls on the sideburns are very luxurious. The jade beads touch each other.

Zhu Xi smiled and praised: "Your Majesty's attire is indeed elegant and luxurious, I'm afraid that the other Empresses are not worthy of it."

Zhu Chengbi smiled slightly, and took his seat slowly. Behind the mahogany throne inlaid with pearls, there were twelve glazed screens carved with lacquered black wood, on which were the mighty Xiezhi, implying the justice of justice.Zhu Chengbi took a cup of Lu'an melon slices from the table, sniffed it lightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "It's from the Qiyun Mountain Bat Cave, Wan Moqi really has a heart."

Zhu Xi smiled and offered a plate of peony and butterfly rolls: "This is made by Master Wan's daughter Wan Mingyu."

Zhu Chengbi nodded: "She has a heart, but I don't know what the little girl who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth looks like now?"

Half an hour passed, Zhu Chengbi only drank a cup of tea, and spent the rest of the time just resting his hands and thinking quietly. Finally, footsteps gradually sounded outside the door, from far to near, until they finally stopped in front of the door. Seeing the reflection of the moonlight, a faint shadow emerged on the window paper on the door.

Zhu Chengbi tightly clutched the golden pine flower handkerchief in his hand, and held his breath, Liu Cainu was sent to the Department of Shenxing, how could it be so simple that he just contradicted himself in the Liugong matter?If it's just insulting words, relying on her sacrifice to save Shengjia is enough to offset the merits and demerits. Even if she is really rebellious and disregards the superiority and inferiority, she only needs to be sent to the violent room.If you invest in Shenxing Division, you must have a lot of articles.

Zi Ao City, the thing that can kill people most invisible is not casting spells, but groundless rumours, and the unclear words released by the bamboo breath must have been spread evilly. Then, the forces behind Liu Cainu will definitely suppress her. Can't help it, since I'm already bedridden, I naturally want to take advantage of this golden opportunity to kill someone.

So, who is it?

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and the maid standing beside her was quick-eyed and quick-witted, and quickly lit up the floor lamps at the four corners of the room. The candlelight shone brightly, but it was Pan Cairen's frightened face.

"So it's you!" Zhu Chengbi smiled coldly, grabbed the plate of peonies and butterflies on the table and threw it on Pan Cairen's face, and said sharply, "The person who secretly colluded with Liu Yunxin and intends to frame me is actually you! "

Pan Cairen's forehead was smashed by the silver-rimmed saucer, traces of blood ooze out, panicked, tongue-tied and flinching.

The corners of Zhu Xi's mouth curled up into a sharp smile, and he instructed the court ladies beside him: "Liu Cainu can suffer several punishments, Pan Cairen is naturally not a rich man, let the Jing Qi Nunnies serve together! "

Pan Cairen was so excited that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you are wronged. It was Zhu Xiuyi who coaxed the concubine to come here. The concubine doesn't know anything!"

Zhu Chengbi caressed the delicate peony flowers on the neckline, raised his eyes: "You mean, Zhu Xiuyi framed you!"

Pan Cairen tried his best to calm down the rapid beating of his heart, and clasped the cold floor tiles tightly with his hands, almost digging out a hole: "Then Liu Cainu ridiculed my concubine last time, and my concubine was annoyed. Zhu Xiuyi intentionally angered the concubine, and the concubine came here just to relieve her anger." Pan Cairen cried sadly, "Concubines have always looked down on concubines who were born as palace maids, the empress knows it, the empress knows!"

Zhu Xi couldn't help hesitating, he only looked at Zhu Chengbi, Zhu Chengbi thought for a while, he blocked Zhu Xiuyi's way of revenge last time, if Zhu Xiuyi hated herself because of this, and wanted to get rid of herself, it is not impossible, as Pan Cairen said It seems that there is no flaw, so, behind Liu Cainu, is it Pan Cairen or Zhu Xiuyi?Or, both?

Seeing that Zhu Chengbi frowned slightly, Zhu Xi couldn't help suppressing his voice and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'd rather believe it than not. If Mrs. Yu'er didn't believe her, Madam thinks that the one sitting in the Hall of Yiyuan is not who is it?"

Zhu Chengbi was startled, and had already recovered his lingering expression. He cast a glance at Pan Cairen who was prostrate on the ground, and said loudly, "I have already been tricked by others. If Cairen thinks that I can be fooled easily, then what should I do?" Bengong wants to see if it is Cairen's stubbornness, or Bengong's ruthless methods!"

Zhu Xi smiled secretly, and said solemnly: "Come here, put on the stick."

Pan Cairen was terrified, his hands and feet were cold in panic, and he cried out: "Your Majesty, don't you trust concubines?"

Zhu Chengbi was straightening the pigeon blood earrings with double stalks and double stalks. The intricate tassels touched each other, and the sound of pearls and jade was pleasant to the ear, like fine rain falling under the eaves.

Zhu Chengbi said slowly: "It doesn't matter if I believe you or not, but I am too lazy to play charades with you at the moment. It's either you or Zhu Xiuyi. Chengguang Palace is the palace that I lifted my advice. Now But secretly plotting against Ben Gong, Ben Gong will not let anyone off!"

Zhu Xi smiled knowingly, and sternly reprimanded the maid beside her: "What are you doing in a daze, put on a stick immediately, and throw it into Chengguang Palace for Zhu Xiuyi to appreciate it, and also tell her to get acquainted earlier, if you want to plot against your empress, I'm afraid In the next life, I will only kowtow and beg for mercy!"

Pan Cairen turned pale with fright, put his hands on the ground, and slowly moved back little by little, desperately dodging the maid holding the stick, crying endlessly: "Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!"

Those two maids were not from the Department of Prudence, after all, seeing Pan Cairen hesitated, Zhu Chengbi caught a glimpse of their timid look, and felt annoyed, so he said sharply: "If you don't do anything, even you will go and taste the pain of ten fingers connected to the heart!"

Seeing that his hands had been captured and there was no room for resistance, Pan Cairen finally relented: "Your Majesty! Recruit concubines! Concubines can recruit anything!"

Zhu Chengbi raised his hand, and the two court ladies quickly stepped aside, only secretly wiping the cold sweat off their palms.

Zhu Chengbi said leisurely: "Say."

The makeup on Pan Cairen's face had been washed away by tears, and she looked like a ghost in the candlelight. After sobbing a few times, she said in a low voice: "The concubine and Zhu Xiuyi secretly plotted to use Liu Cainu's hand to bring down the empress. , and plot against His Highness the Sixth Highness, after this, only His Highness the First Highness, His Highness the Third Highness, and His Highness the Ninth Highness can succeed to the throne, and no matter which Highness succeeds, the concubines and Zhu Xiuyi can be treated kindly for the rest of their lives."

Zhu Chengbi said: "Since I let you out, I didn't think that I would harm you. Why do you want to fight against me?"

Pan Cairen burst into tears: "The empress and the imperial concubine are deeply in love with each other. The concubine can't guess what the empress wants, but both the concubine and Zhu Xiuyi deeply hate Concubine Shu. Since the empress is in the way, there is no need to cherish the empress. The concubine secretly guessed The epidemic broke out in the former Fan Palace, perhaps Zhu Xiuyi took the opportunity to attack Concubine Shu, so she went to the Clothes Bureau to test it out, but this was only one of them. The empress is at ease with Chengguang Palace, but for the rest of the palace people, she doesn't even know about the clothes washing bureau, they just read Chengguang Palace's jokes. In fact, the concubine has made a secret agreement with Zhu Xiuyi to deal with the empress together regardless of previous suspicions .”

Zhu Chengbi let out a sigh of relief slowly: "Sure enough, it is exquisite kung fu! You know the details of Mrs. Liu, that's why you arranged for her to go to Guanju Palace to win Concubine Shu's trust. This palace really underestimated you. In the end, you were all arrogant and conceited, and you even acted in front of me in Deyang Hall together with Mrs. Liu, in order to paralyze me."

Pan Cairen gradually calmed down, and when he heard the words, he smiled sadly: "However, I was still spotted by the empress..." She shook her hand and took out a black pill from her sleeve, her gaze suddenly turned into a sharp knife of cold poison, " However, Empress is one step too late after all, and you will still lose."

Zhu Xi turned pale with shock: "Stop her!"

Ding Xiang, who was the closest to Pan Cairen, was about to rush up, but her eyes went dark, and after a few shakes, Pan Cairen had already swallowed the pill: "Since the plot to assassinate the empress, the concubine has been hiding this pill all the time, once the empress finds out ..." Dark blood gushed out from the corners of Pan Cairen's lips, and his tone became lower and lower, "It will end on its own..."

The moment Zhu Chengbi was dazed, Pan Cairen fell headfirst to the ground, his eyes were gently closed, and two lines of tears meandered down, merged into the shocking pool of blood.

Zhu Chengbi stood up suddenly, his eyes were like sharp swords: "Prepare the sedan chair! Go to Chengguang Palace!"
