Heshen is a strict wife
Chapter 68 Concubine Zhuang's miscarriage
"So what's the matter with you coming so late..."
The Empress Dowager spoke weakly, and she was unable to turn over the conscripts of the past year.
Feng Shuangzhi knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's couch, kowtowed and said, "The matter you asked me to investigate before, I have some clues today... It's just that these words were told to me by Concubine Zhuang herself... Shuangzhi didn't dare Believe it's true."
Concubine Zhuang has always been a confidant of the harem. It may not be that serious to the Queen Mother, but what she needs is the purity of the royal blood, so as to ensure that the entire Qing Dynasty belongs to her Aixinjueluo family. It is nothing more than to investigate Concubine Zhuang Because she was pregnant outside the womb, not in the womb.
When the Queen Mother first saw Concubine Zhuang, she felt uncomfortable. She didn't like Concubine Zhuang—the eyes can reflect many things, and Concubine Zhuang's eyes are not clean.The women in this palace have endless desires and ambitions, and they will never stop fighting.
The queen mother has met too many people, so she has that kind of feeling.
It was as if she knew that the relationship between Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu was peaceful and peaceful; she thought it was not natural for him to know that so many children in the palace were gone, which was quite weird; it was as if she knew It's not like Feng Shuangzhi is a shrew without scheming at all...
In this palace, compared with the previous dynasty, it is not lost. How powerful are the women's battles of wits and courage?
The queen mother was tired of fighting, but she didn't expect that she would have to fight before she left.
"You say it."
Feng Shuangzhi crouched on the ground, and the cold floor tiles hurt her legs, but she didn't get up.
"Lafayette, what is in Concubine Zhuang's belly is probably not of royal blood."
"..." The queen mother hasn't said it for a long time, although she has hinted at Feng Shuangzhi's investigation, but after Feng Shuangzhi said such a thing, there was a feeling of "it really is so" and "I can't believe it". Feel it. "Why is this..."
"The minister's wife came back from the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, and met Concubine Zhuang outside if she didn't want to... At that time, Concubine Zhuang seemed to be talking to someone. Say it. The minister listened, after all, she is the master of the palace...the minister dare not cause trouble." After a pause, Feng Shuangzhi didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother's expression, so he closed his eyes like this, ruthless, and blamed Blame Concubine Zhuang for not knowing what's good...she continued, "Concubine Zhuang said something that made this concubine very difficult—she implied that she was having an affair with my concubine's husband."
The Empress Dowager suddenly regained her energy when she heard this, her tired eyes were still sharp, but she never thought that Feng Shuangzhi would say such a thing in the next sentence.
If this matter is really related to He Shen, how dare Feng Shuangzhi say it?
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Feng Shuangzhi kowtowed again, this time although he was kneeling on the ground, he straightened up and said, "It's because I knew that, that this concubine was in a state of anxiety, and even felt that a murderous disaster was coming. It's just that I believed him, Believe in my concubine's husband, and believe in my oath with him even more."
He will not betray her.
Feng Shuangzhi looked directly at the queen mother, allowing her to see the confidence and determination in his eyes, as well as the forbearance tinged with anger.
The queen mother vaguely understood why Feng Shuangzhi came here at night.
"If Concubine Zhuang really had an affair with He Shen, why did she tell you? Did she deliberately want you to be jealous and expose this matter? Or did she deliberately bully you? How can there be such a brainless woman in the world? "The queen mother sneered, but she knew that such things might happen.
Feng Shuangzhi also had such doubts, is Concubine Zhuang really a no-brainer?not necessarily.It's just that Feng Shuangzhi didn't understand such a woman after all, because he didn't dare to jump to conclusions.But in the queen mother's place, she has the final say on right and wrong.
As long as Feng Shuangzhi can fulfill his lies, everything will be perfect.
As long as this most honorable woman in the harem of the Qing Dynasty has an indelible suspicion towards Concubine Zhuang, then Concubine Zhuang's fate is already doomed.
Shinamura, she has laid out a game, a net for her, and it is time to close the net now.
No wonder, she is not as smart as Feng Shuangzhi after all.
"This is also my concubine's doubt." Feng Shuangzhi admitted frankly, "But I know Heshen's whereabouts clearly, and even rests in the house every day, so it is impossible to have any ambiguity with her. Heshen was in the previous court. , is already the minister of Long Live Lord..."
When she said this, there was a bit of understanding in the eyes of the Queen Mother.It's just that she didn't expect Feng Shuangzhi to be able to think of this.
Concubine Zhuang disappeared mysteriously and then reappeared suddenly. If there is no one here to contribute to the flames, it may be impossible.
The Empress Dowager is only worried about this hand among them, so she will investigate Concubine Zhuang.
Former Dynasty, He Shen, Concubine Zhuang, Emperor.
Concubine Zhuang is in great favor, and He Shen is the favorite minister of Qianlong. If Concubine Zhuang and He Shen have any ambiguity now, then both of them will be unlucky.
But why did these words still come from Concubine Zhuang's mouth?
Mongolian... Concubine Zhuang is from the Mongolian...
"Are you trying to say that Concubine Zhuang conspired against you?" The crime was serious, and the Empress Dowager's voice was a little hoarse and deep.
Feng Shuangzhi only said: "The concubine does not believe that He Shen will betray the concubine, nor does he believe that He Shen is plotting against him, so he can only think that it is Zhuang Concubine who plots against him."
Recalling He Shen, the Empress Dowager felt that Feng Shuangzhi was telling the truth, but she was too frank, and this clear voice had a sense of determination in the Palace of Compassion and Ning at night.
"If Ai's family finds out, then Concubine Zhuang really has something to do with He Shen, Shuangzhi... how should you deal with yourself?"
The queen mother suddenly felt pity for Feng Shuangzhi.
And she just clenched the fingers in her sleeve, her face turned pale suddenly, she bit her lips, and finally said: "I believe him."
"Oh..." The Queen Mother sighed a long time, "Okay, what else do you want to say?"
An idea suddenly came to Feng Shuangzhi's mind. She considered it for a while, but finally decided to take a risk, and said, "Concubine Zhuang was still in Chengde in July and August, and she just returned to the palace. Go to Chengde. There is also the time when Concubine Zhuang is pregnant... Cheng En's booklet in the palace can match the time, but Concubine Zhuang is three months pregnant, but I still need to find another imperial doctor to take the pulse .Does the Empress Dowager ever remember...the imperial doctor you sent to the Hefu was replaced..."
The Empress Dowager frowned, but her eyes suppressed shock. She had tossed and turned for a long time, and hadn't fallen asleep today, but she didn't want to hear such words now...
"That matter, it's not Concubine Ling, but Concubine Zhuang?"
"Aunt Qin said that in order not to spoil your body, the Queen Mother, she asked me to swallow my anger and not tell the Queen Mother about this. I have been holding back... It's just that she hurt my flesh and blood, how can I tolerate her?" Feng Shuangzhi's voice stopped There was unprecedented hatred in it, and the Queen Mother heard it clearly.
The empress dowager's calm and experienced eyes finally reappeared in those increasingly cloudy eyes, and said: "Now that you are confessing all this, aren't you afraid that the Ai family will think that you are deliberately retaliating and framing you?"
"Shuangzhi has a clear conscience, but he just told what he knows." Feng Shuangzhi was extremely calm and fearless, "If Concubine Zhuang has no ghosts, then she is a concubine. It's her own fault. Although the concubine has a tolerant temper, she is not the kind of person who can be flattened and rounded by others. I am afraid that she is the one who wins over Heshen and asks him to support the child in her womb, but Heshen refuses... that's why she wants to plot Right? She doesn't need to let the emperor know, she just needs to let the concubine know. When the concubine returns to the mansion and tells He Shen, how can he not know the key? How can we and the mansion provoke such a noble concubine Zhuang? Master, in order not to cause trouble for the upper body, we can only listen to what Concubine Zhuang says..."
This was originally Feng Shuangzhi's words to frame Concubine Zhuang, but after analyzing it now, it turned out to be reasonable, even Feng Shuangzhi himself was surprised.
If Concubine Zhuang hadn't been that mindless person who loves to hate because of love, and thinking that both He Shen and she had considered supporting the child in Concubine Zhuang's womb, Feng Shuangzhi suddenly shivered with coldness in his heart, his face Still kept calm.
If Concubine Zhuang really wants to blackmail...
What's more, Concubine Zhuang really said that she wanted the child in her womb to be on the throne of the emperor, but her expression didn't look like a fake, it seemed that she had that kind of meaning for He Shen...
In the end, Feng Shuangzhi concluded that it was a combination of both.
Which one is more important, maybe I have to ask Concubine Zhuang herself.
After finishing what she just said, the doubts in the Queen Mother's heart have been basically answered.
Feng Shuangzhi's analysis was too rigorous, and there were almost no gaps, not to mention that the Queen Mother had already had a prejudice against Concubine Zhuang before, so it was easy to directly side with Feng Shuangzhi psychologically.
She didn't speak for a long time, she seemed to be thinking about it, and then she said: "The Ai family knows, it's getting late, you should also retreat. This matter... will eventually have a result..."
"...Concubine, I will leave."
Feng Shuangzhi made another deep obeisance, and had already withdrawn from the Compassionate Ning Palace. He didn't realize that his vest was soaked until the cool wind blew outside.
Aunt Qin and Nanny Fang took care of the Empress Dowager inside, and the Empress Dowager said: "Take the secret order from the Ai family to investigate, and don't disturb the emperor, let alone these Yingyingyanyans in the harem."
"Yes." Aunt Qin and Nanny Fang looked at each other and responded at the same time.
Something big is going to happen in this palace again.
The Empress Dowager is still heaving a sigh of relief, her condition fluctuates from good to bad, so this matter needs to be done quickly.They are all old people who have been with the queen mother for decades, and they are very smooth when doing things, and the queen mother is also very relieved.
After the Queen Mother fell asleep, Nanny Fang and Aunt Qin came out, but Feng Shuangzhi was nowhere to be seen. After asking the maid, she found out that she had already left.
Feng Shuangzhi was already under the palace wall at this moment, so Xiao Luzi walked nearby, seeing Feng Shuangzhi coming, he quietly gestured for Feng Shuangzhi to go west.When he saw Xiao Luzi's hand gesture, Feng Shuangzhi knew that Yong Yan was there.
The road between Chuxiu Palace and Elder Brother's Office happened to be the road she set foot on, and it was relatively remote.
She also happened to be looking for Yongyan in an urgent matter, so she quickened her pace immediately, and the bottom of the flowerpot hit the palace path, feeling a little hasty and heart-stopping.
Yong Yan heard it from afar, and felt that today was unusual, he purposely made an excuse, saying that he was going to ask the imperial concubine to pay her respects, and returning at this time would not arouse suspicion.
"My concubine, I'm going to give you ten blessings for Lord Fifteen." Feng Shuangzhi felt blessed when he saw him, and then said, "Master Fifteen, I need your help with something important."
Yongyan could also see that Feng Shuangzhi's matter was rather urgent, so he said, "It's okay to talk to Madam."
"The Empress Dowager has probably sent someone to investigate Concubine Zhuang at this moment. In any case, you should not get involved in this matter. You just need to quietly disclose the news of this relationship to Eleventh Brother or Eighth Prince."
This is also an opportunity to attack dissidents, Feng Shuangzhi is very clear in his mind.
It is impossible to start investigating this matter in the middle of the night. After all, there is no one at the Tai Hospital now, and there is no way to find someone to take the pulse of Concubine Zhuang for no reason. It will be dawn tomorrow.
This period of time is the time for Yong Yan and her to kill each other.
Feng Shuang didn't tell Yushu about it himself, but asked Yongyan to find a way to tell Brother Eleven. It was obviously selfish. After all, it was still a risky thing. If it came to light— —Or if it is found out in the future that the child in Concubine Zhuang's stomach is really Qianlong's, Yu Shu can't blame her...
No, not right.
Feng Shuangzhi suddenly smiled, she can just tell Yushu that the queen mother is investigating Concubine Zhuang, as to whether Concubine Zhuang is innocent or not, that has nothing to do with Feng Shuangzhi, whether Yushu wants to frame Concubine Zhuang depends on her own up.
Think about Eleven Brothers and his wife, they got the same news from different places, do they believe it or not?
This is a two-pronged approach...
"It seems...do you have a plan with your wife?" Yong Yan asked.
It was getting late, and Feng Shuangzhi didn't want to stay too long, so he said, "As you said before, you don't have to worry too much about Concubine Zhuang's affairs, the water in this palace is too muddy, you just need to pick yourself out .”
Yongyan was silent for a moment, then said: "Then wait for the good news."
"Yes."
Feng Shuang held back his knees and gave a salute, then passed Yongyan by mistake.
It was different from the urgency when she came here. After dealing with all these matters, Feng Shuangzhi took every step very calmly. Just listening to this crisp voice, it seemed that people could feel that she had a plan in mind.
This is a very smart woman.
Yongyan thought about it behind his back for a while, and finally decided to do what Feng Shuangzhi said, but... he wanted to cheat one more person...
"Xiaoluzi, has my mother-in-law rested yet?"
"Usually, it's time to prepare for a rest." Xiaoluzi replied.
Yongyan then said: "Go and tell my mother, that you saw Concubine Zhuang and Madam talking outside the gate of Concubine Yu's Palace, and Madam and Madam were called away by the people in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and they talked for a while before coming out. .”
If his clever mother-in-law couldn't tell from the news that the Queen Mother wanted to target Concubine Zhuang, it would be useless for her to sit in the position of Concubine Zhuang for many years.Concubine Ling's eyes and ears are not all vegetarians, she must have known a lot of news these days, and when the clues are put together, it is easy to draw the conclusion Yong Yan wants to give her.
Let this game of chess be a little more chaotic.
When Yongyan was in the palace, he often played chess with Fu Kang'an. Although he lost every game, it didn't mean that Yongyan couldn't play chess.
Feng Shuangzhi finally left the palace, she returned later today than He Shen, which made He Shen worried for a while.
The last time I came back like this was because of Concubine Zhuang, and now I am afraid that it is also inseparable from Concubine Zhuang.
As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, Feng Shuangzhi ordered the people around him to quietly go to Brother Eleven's mansion to deliver a message to Yu Shu, and then entered the gate.
He Shen hurriedly asked her to have something to eat together, Feng Shuangzhi's tense nerves relaxed at this time, the meal was silent for a while, and then she asked someone to withdraw, and she said to He Shen: "Don't blame me for making my own decisions. , I have already calculated the affairs of the palace."
He Shen was still laughing last moment, but now he was a little stagnant. He frowned and asked, "What are you planning?"
Feng Shuangzhi said: "Concubine Zhuang cannot stay."
He Shen also knew that Concubine Zhuang could not be kept, but the child in this woman's womb could eventually become a buffer, or even a bargaining chip. Now Feng Shuangzhi suddenly said that she had already calculated...
How dare he say that he is not jealous of this vinegar vat?
He Shen secretly laughed a few times, but instead of getting annoyed, he took his time and said: "Since the calculation has been made, I must not be afraid of me intervening. Madam Zhuge, a daughter, told the villain, how did you calculate?"
She knew that he was joking, but Feng Shuangzhi felt that He Shen might not be happy if she said it, so she just said, "I know that you made a move to support Concubine Zhuang's unborn child, but I don't like Concubine Zhuang. You won't like the child in her womb either. If you support Concubine Zhuang, if she doesn't die, she will be the next Xiaozhuang, so who are you?"
"Is Shuangzhi worried that I will become the next Dorgon?" He Shen laughed.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't speak.
Stretching out his hand to embrace her, He Shen sighed: "I think it would be nice to be the regent, but I'm afraid that my wife will be wronged... You have made up your mind, I'm afraid that Concubine Zhuang will be angry with you?"
Feng Shuangzhi snorted, and said: "Where is it her turn to be angry with me? If she dares to attack Tuanzi, even you and I can't tolerate her... The Queen Mother can't tolerate her either. Don't be afraid of retribution, today's calculation is complete."
So she told He Shen's ears what happened today and her own calculations, omitting Yong Yan, the rest was perfect.
He Shenjin actually laughed out loud, "So calculating, so calculating!"
"Why don't you say that I ruined your plan?" Feng Shuangzhi lowered his eyes, thinking of the conversation with the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility today.
The queen mother said: If it is really found out that it is related to Heshen, how should she deal with herself?
But the only person she can trust now is him.
He Shen knows that she still has a grudge in her heart after all, just like He Shen is still targeting Fukang'an, there is no way to let go of many things at once.Take it easy……
They are all like the proud sons of heaven, and there is no point in forcing them.
That night Feng Shuangzhi quietly nestled in his arms, "My heart is still sore."
He Shen's face was finally not tense, and a smile suddenly burst out, and he teased: "You finally know that you are sour..."
Pursing his lips, Feng Shuangzhi lowered his eyes, but suddenly said: "Let's have a daughter..."
"..." He Shen looked down at her, remembering that Feng Shuangzhi said before that he didn't want to have another child, he wanted it very hard, whether it was a daughter or a son, it would be great to have one. "really?"
Feng Shuangzhi became a little tangled for a moment, bit his lips and said, "...Really..."
He Shen's arms holding her tightened, so he hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "You can't go back on your word."
"No, I regret it." Feng Shuangzhi immediately turned around and wanted to escape.
But where can I escape?Being embraced by He Shen, the room is charming again.
The next morning, Feng Shuangzhi didn't know why she got up so early, she was a light sleeper, probably because of yesterday's calculations, so in fact, she still remembered that Feng Shuangzhi would stay here if she didn't enter the palace in the morning. Waiting for news.
Yu Shu had already been notified overnight yesterday, I'm afraid the palace has already become lively.
Feng Shuangzhi was dealing with matters in the meeting room in the west chamber, and Zhou Qu went to check, and said that Lian Shuangcheng had found the accountant, and was looking into old accounts from a few years ago.
"What is Lian Shuang City trying to do?" Zhou Qu couldn't understand.
Feng Shuangzhi smiled and said, "Do you know where most of the taxes in the entire Qing Dynasty come from?"
"South." This is unquestionable, but after Zhou Qu said it, he saw Feng Shuangzhi's eyes, and knew that his answer was too shallow, and then remembered that the topic was linked to Lian Shuangcheng, so he changed his words. , said, "Salt tax?"
"It's the salt tax." Feng Shuangzhi clasped his fingers on the table of the Eight Immortals, "The transport of grain on the Cao River depends on the Cao Gang, and the leader of the Cao Gang has always been a figure that the court has always been afraid of. It took a lot of time to investigate the matter, I am afraid it is only related to the salt merchants... The salt tax accounts for the bulk of the tax revenue of the household department. It’s on the salt merchant’s side. Whoever can handle the matter of the small treasury for the emperor will be the celebrity in front of the emperor—it’s just that I don’t know which side Lian Shuangcheng is working for.”
If the Yanzheng's accounts are checked, they will definitely be able to find out a lot of people.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't tell Zhou Qu that Lian Shuangcheng had ambitions for Lianghuai officialdom—if Zhou Qu was smart enough, he would think of it.I just don't know if Zhou Qu can think of going there.
At this moment, Feng Shuangzhi was still scheming about Chen Hongmou's affairs.
Regardless of whether it is Lian Shuangcheng or Wang Jie, as long as something can be found out, Chen Hongmou will have nothing but bad luck—he used to be an official in Jiangnan, and he was a second-rank official. Everything has nothing to do with him.
The things in this country up and down seem to have no connection, but in fact they affect the whole body.
Before leaving the palace in the afternoon, she had already made arrangements for the future. First, she continued to wait for news from Lianshuang City in the south of the Yangtze River; second, if there was news from Wang Jie, no matter what it was, she would Let Zhou Qu take a look first, and if it is too urgent, go to Heshen or do it yourself if you are sure. If you are not in a hurry, just wait for Feng Shuangzhi to come back; third, strictly monitor Mi In the situation over there, the price must not be raised.
This year's harvest is not good, and the rise in rice prices is not considered serious, but the effects of this year's poor harvest will be revealed when the spring planting is next year.There is a period of explosion. Feng Shuangzhi doesn't know when the problem will happen, but the problem of rice price must be suppressed.
She has said it many times, which shows how much she attaches importance to this matter.
Zhou Qu also knew that he didn't dare to do any tricks on this matter.
In fact, Feng Shuangzhi basically has a free-ranging policy for the managers below, allowing you to do tricks and embezzle small things, but these must be included in the accounts, and things on the accounts cannot be wrong.If you are greedy for a little bit of cheapness, it has to be something that is not on the books.
Zhou Qu wrote down these things one by one, and continued to settle accounts.
Seeing that it was coming to the end of the year, both the family and the Zhuangzi had reached the time of year-end summary and reimbursement. He was afraid that there would be too many things to finish, so he started to prepare at this time.
He was taught by Feng Shuangzhi himself, Feng Shuangzhi had a kindness for him, and he was also very loyal, Feng Shuangzhi was very reassuring to him.
Entering the palace yesterday and entering the palace today are two different states of mind.
At that time, he thought that he was going to the Hongmen Banquet, so he felt an uncontrollable anxiety in his heart, but today, Feng Shuangzhi thought of his many calculations yesterday, and knew that he would definitely hear a lot of news when he entered the palace today.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the palace, Aunt Qin sighed repeatedly, saying that there was indeed something suspicious about Concubine Zhuang, but it still needed to be investigated carefully.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't know if there were any doubts, but doubts were the beginning of further investigation.
Whether this doubt was inherent in herself, or was it created by someone later, it has nothing to do with Feng Shuangzhi - she just opened her mouth and said the news that everyone wanted.
"Aunt Qin, please rest assured. She is just a Concubine Zhuang. What kind of waves can she make in the hands of Lafayette?" Feng Shuangzhi comforted Aunt Qin, and when she entered the palace gate, she saw that the Empress Dowager was in that lingering sick bed again. of weakness.
He could still talk last night, but today he didn't say a word, only Feng Shuangzhi was studying.
This "Story of the Stone" used to be said three or five times a day, but now it is only one or two times, and now it is not even half a time every day, even Feng Shuangzhi is suspicious, the queen mother may really not be able to finish listening to this book...
It only took more than an hour to get out of the Compassionate Ning Palace.
The Queen Mother fell asleep in a daze, so Aunt Qin and Nanny Fang dragged Feng Shuangzhi to the side hall to sit and chat some gossip. If the Queen Mother didn't wake up for a while, Feng Shuangzhi could leave. If she woke up, she still wanted to hear After a while, Feng Shuangzhi was called in.
It's just that they were drinking tea here, and Feng Shuangzhi skillfully tricked Aunt Fang and Aunt Qin into clichés. Before he could speak halfway, he saw a maid in a pink embroidered jacket come in, with a flustered expression on her face. , Said: "Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin, Sister Fang, Sister Fang, something happened in the imperial garden."
Feng Shuangzhi held the teacup calmly and put it in the palm of his hand for a while. After listening to the court lady's words, he put down the teacup, looked at Aunt Qin and Nanny Fang who had different expressions, and asked, "Your Majesty?" What happened in the garden?"
Aunt Qin turned her head and sighed, "I heard that Concubine Zhai Zhuang just went out to visit the garden today?"
The palace maid nodded quickly and said: "It was Concubine Zhuang who was visiting the garden, but unfortunately she met Concubine Yu, and the two of them went into the pavilion together, saying that they wanted to see Concubine Yu's favorite green peony, but they didn't know why... ...Then... Concubine Zhuang fell off the railing of the pavilion and fell into the water in a short while... I heard that the emperor and the imperial physician were there just after being rescued."
Concubine Yu?
Feng Shuangzhi was taken aback, thinking what does this have to do with Concubine Yu?
She felt a little confused.
Aunt Qin looked at Feng Shuangzhi, and suppressed the doubts that came up in her heart. Feng Shuangzhi's expression did not seem to be faked, and this matter probably had nothing to do with her.Before, she thought it was too coincidental, why did Feng Shuangzhi come to tell the secret yesterday, and such a thing happened today?If this baby is gone, it will be difficult to check.
Feng Shuangzhi still didn't know that Aunt Qin was doubting herself, so she looked puzzled: "The railing is not low, so how could it fall out without external force?"
"This is the weirdest part of the matter. It is said that Concubine Yu is kneeling in front of Concubine Zhuang's palace now, and the emperor ordered her to get up whenever Concubine Yu is recruited." The maid said again After saying a word, but looking at the aunts' eyes, they were a little scared, and said, "Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu are on good terms, and now they have gone to save the situation."
"Where is the rescue, it's almost like throwing stones into trouble, right?" Nanny Fang sneered.
In the palace, what scene haven't you seen?
Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling are at odds. It is no secret at all among them, the old people around the Empress Dowager of Compassionate Ning Palace. won't believe it.
Even Lingfei herself didn't believe it.
"Sister Concubine Yu, why are you kneeling outside? Hurry up, the sun is still poisonous."
As soon as Concubine Ling walked outside the palace gate, she saw Concubine Yu, she sneered suddenly, but stepped on the bottom of the flower pot, hiding the sneer on her face, with a look of panic and bewilderment.
Concubine Yu's heart turned cold when she heard this voice, she always felt that Concubine Ling was a little weird today.
She herself hated Concubine Ling poisonously. Concubine Yu fell out of favor in Chengde back then, Concubine Yu contributed to the flames, without her to help Xinamula, relying on the fact that Xinamula didn't know anyone when she first entered Chengde , it is simply impossible to do that.Now she is in trouble, and it is suspected that she designed Concubine Zhuang and also Concubine Zhuang's child...
The scene where Qianlong was furious and told her to go away just now is still vivid in my memory, Lingfei is going to add fuel to the fire.
"Please, my sister is worried. This matter is really unexpected. My sister shouldn't have asked Concubine Zhuang and her sister to go to see the green peony together. The railing of the pavilion fell in disrepair for a long time. I couldn't save it even if I was there. To be able to watch Concubine Zhuang's sister fall..."
Saying that, Concubine Yu began to cry, with a look of grievance and sadness, and a bit of guilt that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Concubine Ling sneered in her heart, and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister, Concubine Zhuang will be fine, I will go in and intercede for you."
"Thank you, Concubine Ling over there."
Concubine Yu bowed her head, she was actually not considered a beauty anymore, she was too old and well cared for but not as good as a young one.
Concubine Yu is not as good as Concubine Ling, and Concubine Ling is not as good as Concubine Zhuang. The beauty has changed from generation to generation, and there is no shortage of new faces in this palace.
After Concubine Ling finished comforting Concubine Yu, she adjusted her makeup and walked into Concubine Zhuang's palace.
The atmosphere in the palace was very tense, but it made Concubine Ling go crazy with jealousy - when her Xiao Shiqi left that day, was there such a solemn scene?Those individuals are not following the trend.
Qianlong liked it, so he was nervous. When Yonglin died, he didn't see him shed a single tear.
After being the emperor for a long time, not only his heart, but even his blood became cold.
Concubine Ling suppressed the restlessness in her heart, and went into the palace: "My concubine greets Lord Long Live. I heard that something happened to Concubine Zhuang's sister. I am anxious and want to come and see."
Qianlong was in a bad mood, so he sat inside and told her to get out.
"I didn't have good intentions all the time. You and that bitch kneeling outside have always controlled the harem and prevented Concubine Zhuang from living! Now that something happened to her, you can't see anyone else, are you satisfied? ! "
Maybe Qianlong's voice was too angry, which made Concubine Ling feel that this time was a big deal.
It's just that she has served Qianlong for many years, and concluded that he has no love, and she was angry today because she spoiled Himamura.
"Long Live Lord, this matter has nothing to do with concubines. Sister Concubine Yu has always been kind-hearted, and Sister Concubine Zhuang is even a good person among good people. I believe that auspicious people have their own appearance."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of a cup being dropped from inside.
But someone knelt down at once, "This slave deserves to die. This slave deserves to die—"
As soon as Qianlong kicked the servant away, he said harshly: "If you dare to make mistakes at this time, drag him out and beat him to death!"
"Whoo."
The servants below knew that Qianlong was furious, and dragged him away without saying a word.
There was the sound of a stick touching flesh outside, and after about a quarter of an hour, the sound stopped, presumably the person was gone.
Concubine Ling didn't dare to go in without Qianlong's summons, but the calculation in her heart never stopped.
Just as he was about to speak again, he heard the panicked voice of the imperial physician suddenly coming from inside: "Qi, Qi, Your Majesty... Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Zhuang's concubine's child, I didn't keep it..."
Qianlong's eyes suddenly went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
The Empress Dowager spoke weakly, and she was unable to turn over the conscripts of the past year.
Feng Shuangzhi knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's couch, kowtowed and said, "The matter you asked me to investigate before, I have some clues today... It's just that these words were told to me by Concubine Zhuang herself... Shuangzhi didn't dare Believe it's true."
Concubine Zhuang has always been a confidant of the harem. It may not be that serious to the Queen Mother, but what she needs is the purity of the royal blood, so as to ensure that the entire Qing Dynasty belongs to her Aixinjueluo family. It is nothing more than to investigate Concubine Zhuang Because she was pregnant outside the womb, not in the womb.
When the Queen Mother first saw Concubine Zhuang, she felt uncomfortable. She didn't like Concubine Zhuang—the eyes can reflect many things, and Concubine Zhuang's eyes are not clean.The women in this palace have endless desires and ambitions, and they will never stop fighting.
The queen mother has met too many people, so she has that kind of feeling.
It was as if she knew that the relationship between Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu was peaceful and peaceful; she thought it was not natural for him to know that so many children in the palace were gone, which was quite weird; it was as if she knew It's not like Feng Shuangzhi is a shrew without scheming at all...
In this palace, compared with the previous dynasty, it is not lost. How powerful are the women's battles of wits and courage?
The queen mother was tired of fighting, but she didn't expect that she would have to fight before she left.
"You say it."
Feng Shuangzhi crouched on the ground, and the cold floor tiles hurt her legs, but she didn't get up.
"Lafayette, what is in Concubine Zhuang's belly is probably not of royal blood."
"..." The queen mother hasn't said it for a long time, although she has hinted at Feng Shuangzhi's investigation, but after Feng Shuangzhi said such a thing, there was a feeling of "it really is so" and "I can't believe it". Feel it. "Why is this..."
"The minister's wife came back from the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, and met Concubine Zhuang outside if she didn't want to... At that time, Concubine Zhuang seemed to be talking to someone. Say it. The minister listened, after all, she is the master of the palace...the minister dare not cause trouble." After a pause, Feng Shuangzhi didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother's expression, so he closed his eyes like this, ruthless, and blamed Blame Concubine Zhuang for not knowing what's good...she continued, "Concubine Zhuang said something that made this concubine very difficult—she implied that she was having an affair with my concubine's husband."
The Empress Dowager suddenly regained her energy when she heard this, her tired eyes were still sharp, but she never thought that Feng Shuangzhi would say such a thing in the next sentence.
If this matter is really related to He Shen, how dare Feng Shuangzhi say it?
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Feng Shuangzhi kowtowed again, this time although he was kneeling on the ground, he straightened up and said, "It's because I knew that, that this concubine was in a state of anxiety, and even felt that a murderous disaster was coming. It's just that I believed him, Believe in my concubine's husband, and believe in my oath with him even more."
He will not betray her.
Feng Shuangzhi looked directly at the queen mother, allowing her to see the confidence and determination in his eyes, as well as the forbearance tinged with anger.
The queen mother vaguely understood why Feng Shuangzhi came here at night.
"If Concubine Zhuang really had an affair with He Shen, why did she tell you? Did she deliberately want you to be jealous and expose this matter? Or did she deliberately bully you? How can there be such a brainless woman in the world? "The queen mother sneered, but she knew that such things might happen.
Feng Shuangzhi also had such doubts, is Concubine Zhuang really a no-brainer?not necessarily.It's just that Feng Shuangzhi didn't understand such a woman after all, because he didn't dare to jump to conclusions.But in the queen mother's place, she has the final say on right and wrong.
As long as Feng Shuangzhi can fulfill his lies, everything will be perfect.
As long as this most honorable woman in the harem of the Qing Dynasty has an indelible suspicion towards Concubine Zhuang, then Concubine Zhuang's fate is already doomed.
Shinamura, she has laid out a game, a net for her, and it is time to close the net now.
No wonder, she is not as smart as Feng Shuangzhi after all.
"This is also my concubine's doubt." Feng Shuangzhi admitted frankly, "But I know Heshen's whereabouts clearly, and even rests in the house every day, so it is impossible to have any ambiguity with her. Heshen was in the previous court. , is already the minister of Long Live Lord..."
When she said this, there was a bit of understanding in the eyes of the Queen Mother.It's just that she didn't expect Feng Shuangzhi to be able to think of this.
Concubine Zhuang disappeared mysteriously and then reappeared suddenly. If there is no one here to contribute to the flames, it may be impossible.
The Empress Dowager is only worried about this hand among them, so she will investigate Concubine Zhuang.
Former Dynasty, He Shen, Concubine Zhuang, Emperor.
Concubine Zhuang is in great favor, and He Shen is the favorite minister of Qianlong. If Concubine Zhuang and He Shen have any ambiguity now, then both of them will be unlucky.
But why did these words still come from Concubine Zhuang's mouth?
Mongolian... Concubine Zhuang is from the Mongolian...
"Are you trying to say that Concubine Zhuang conspired against you?" The crime was serious, and the Empress Dowager's voice was a little hoarse and deep.
Feng Shuangzhi only said: "The concubine does not believe that He Shen will betray the concubine, nor does he believe that He Shen is plotting against him, so he can only think that it is Zhuang Concubine who plots against him."
Recalling He Shen, the Empress Dowager felt that Feng Shuangzhi was telling the truth, but she was too frank, and this clear voice had a sense of determination in the Palace of Compassion and Ning at night.
"If Ai's family finds out, then Concubine Zhuang really has something to do with He Shen, Shuangzhi... how should you deal with yourself?"
The queen mother suddenly felt pity for Feng Shuangzhi.
And she just clenched the fingers in her sleeve, her face turned pale suddenly, she bit her lips, and finally said: "I believe him."
"Oh..." The Queen Mother sighed a long time, "Okay, what else do you want to say?"
An idea suddenly came to Feng Shuangzhi's mind. She considered it for a while, but finally decided to take a risk, and said, "Concubine Zhuang was still in Chengde in July and August, and she just returned to the palace. Go to Chengde. There is also the time when Concubine Zhuang is pregnant... Cheng En's booklet in the palace can match the time, but Concubine Zhuang is three months pregnant, but I still need to find another imperial doctor to take the pulse .Does the Empress Dowager ever remember...the imperial doctor you sent to the Hefu was replaced..."
The Empress Dowager frowned, but her eyes suppressed shock. She had tossed and turned for a long time, and hadn't fallen asleep today, but she didn't want to hear such words now...
"That matter, it's not Concubine Ling, but Concubine Zhuang?"
"Aunt Qin said that in order not to spoil your body, the Queen Mother, she asked me to swallow my anger and not tell the Queen Mother about this. I have been holding back... It's just that she hurt my flesh and blood, how can I tolerate her?" Feng Shuangzhi's voice stopped There was unprecedented hatred in it, and the Queen Mother heard it clearly.
The empress dowager's calm and experienced eyes finally reappeared in those increasingly cloudy eyes, and said: "Now that you are confessing all this, aren't you afraid that the Ai family will think that you are deliberately retaliating and framing you?"
"Shuangzhi has a clear conscience, but he just told what he knows." Feng Shuangzhi was extremely calm and fearless, "If Concubine Zhuang has no ghosts, then she is a concubine. It's her own fault. Although the concubine has a tolerant temper, she is not the kind of person who can be flattened and rounded by others. I am afraid that she is the one who wins over Heshen and asks him to support the child in her womb, but Heshen refuses... that's why she wants to plot Right? She doesn't need to let the emperor know, she just needs to let the concubine know. When the concubine returns to the mansion and tells He Shen, how can he not know the key? How can we and the mansion provoke such a noble concubine Zhuang? Master, in order not to cause trouble for the upper body, we can only listen to what Concubine Zhuang says..."
This was originally Feng Shuangzhi's words to frame Concubine Zhuang, but after analyzing it now, it turned out to be reasonable, even Feng Shuangzhi himself was surprised.
If Concubine Zhuang hadn't been that mindless person who loves to hate because of love, and thinking that both He Shen and she had considered supporting the child in Concubine Zhuang's womb, Feng Shuangzhi suddenly shivered with coldness in his heart, his face Still kept calm.
If Concubine Zhuang really wants to blackmail...
What's more, Concubine Zhuang really said that she wanted the child in her womb to be on the throne of the emperor, but her expression didn't look like a fake, it seemed that she had that kind of meaning for He Shen...
In the end, Feng Shuangzhi concluded that it was a combination of both.
Which one is more important, maybe I have to ask Concubine Zhuang herself.
After finishing what she just said, the doubts in the Queen Mother's heart have been basically answered.
Feng Shuangzhi's analysis was too rigorous, and there were almost no gaps, not to mention that the Queen Mother had already had a prejudice against Concubine Zhuang before, so it was easy to directly side with Feng Shuangzhi psychologically.
She didn't speak for a long time, she seemed to be thinking about it, and then she said: "The Ai family knows, it's getting late, you should also retreat. This matter... will eventually have a result..."
"...Concubine, I will leave."
Feng Shuangzhi made another deep obeisance, and had already withdrawn from the Compassionate Ning Palace. He didn't realize that his vest was soaked until the cool wind blew outside.
Aunt Qin and Nanny Fang took care of the Empress Dowager inside, and the Empress Dowager said: "Take the secret order from the Ai family to investigate, and don't disturb the emperor, let alone these Yingyingyanyans in the harem."
"Yes." Aunt Qin and Nanny Fang looked at each other and responded at the same time.
Something big is going to happen in this palace again.
The Empress Dowager is still heaving a sigh of relief, her condition fluctuates from good to bad, so this matter needs to be done quickly.They are all old people who have been with the queen mother for decades, and they are very smooth when doing things, and the queen mother is also very relieved.
After the Queen Mother fell asleep, Nanny Fang and Aunt Qin came out, but Feng Shuangzhi was nowhere to be seen. After asking the maid, she found out that she had already left.
Feng Shuangzhi was already under the palace wall at this moment, so Xiao Luzi walked nearby, seeing Feng Shuangzhi coming, he quietly gestured for Feng Shuangzhi to go west.When he saw Xiao Luzi's hand gesture, Feng Shuangzhi knew that Yong Yan was there.
The road between Chuxiu Palace and Elder Brother's Office happened to be the road she set foot on, and it was relatively remote.
She also happened to be looking for Yongyan in an urgent matter, so she quickened her pace immediately, and the bottom of the flowerpot hit the palace path, feeling a little hasty and heart-stopping.
Yong Yan heard it from afar, and felt that today was unusual, he purposely made an excuse, saying that he was going to ask the imperial concubine to pay her respects, and returning at this time would not arouse suspicion.
"My concubine, I'm going to give you ten blessings for Lord Fifteen." Feng Shuangzhi felt blessed when he saw him, and then said, "Master Fifteen, I need your help with something important."
Yongyan could also see that Feng Shuangzhi's matter was rather urgent, so he said, "It's okay to talk to Madam."
"The Empress Dowager has probably sent someone to investigate Concubine Zhuang at this moment. In any case, you should not get involved in this matter. You just need to quietly disclose the news of this relationship to Eleventh Brother or Eighth Prince."
This is also an opportunity to attack dissidents, Feng Shuangzhi is very clear in his mind.
It is impossible to start investigating this matter in the middle of the night. After all, there is no one at the Tai Hospital now, and there is no way to find someone to take the pulse of Concubine Zhuang for no reason. It will be dawn tomorrow.
This period of time is the time for Yong Yan and her to kill each other.
Feng Shuang didn't tell Yushu about it himself, but asked Yongyan to find a way to tell Brother Eleven. It was obviously selfish. After all, it was still a risky thing. If it came to light— —Or if it is found out in the future that the child in Concubine Zhuang's stomach is really Qianlong's, Yu Shu can't blame her...
No, not right.
Feng Shuangzhi suddenly smiled, she can just tell Yushu that the queen mother is investigating Concubine Zhuang, as to whether Concubine Zhuang is innocent or not, that has nothing to do with Feng Shuangzhi, whether Yushu wants to frame Concubine Zhuang depends on her own up.
Think about Eleven Brothers and his wife, they got the same news from different places, do they believe it or not?
This is a two-pronged approach...
"It seems...do you have a plan with your wife?" Yong Yan asked.
It was getting late, and Feng Shuangzhi didn't want to stay too long, so he said, "As you said before, you don't have to worry too much about Concubine Zhuang's affairs, the water in this palace is too muddy, you just need to pick yourself out .”
Yongyan was silent for a moment, then said: "Then wait for the good news."
"Yes."
Feng Shuang held back his knees and gave a salute, then passed Yongyan by mistake.
It was different from the urgency when she came here. After dealing with all these matters, Feng Shuangzhi took every step very calmly. Just listening to this crisp voice, it seemed that people could feel that she had a plan in mind.
This is a very smart woman.
Yongyan thought about it behind his back for a while, and finally decided to do what Feng Shuangzhi said, but... he wanted to cheat one more person...
"Xiaoluzi, has my mother-in-law rested yet?"
"Usually, it's time to prepare for a rest." Xiaoluzi replied.
Yongyan then said: "Go and tell my mother, that you saw Concubine Zhuang and Madam talking outside the gate of Concubine Yu's Palace, and Madam and Madam were called away by the people in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and they talked for a while before coming out. .”
If his clever mother-in-law couldn't tell from the news that the Queen Mother wanted to target Concubine Zhuang, it would be useless for her to sit in the position of Concubine Zhuang for many years.Concubine Ling's eyes and ears are not all vegetarians, she must have known a lot of news these days, and when the clues are put together, it is easy to draw the conclusion Yong Yan wants to give her.
Let this game of chess be a little more chaotic.
When Yongyan was in the palace, he often played chess with Fu Kang'an. Although he lost every game, it didn't mean that Yongyan couldn't play chess.
Feng Shuangzhi finally left the palace, she returned later today than He Shen, which made He Shen worried for a while.
The last time I came back like this was because of Concubine Zhuang, and now I am afraid that it is also inseparable from Concubine Zhuang.
As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, Feng Shuangzhi ordered the people around him to quietly go to Brother Eleven's mansion to deliver a message to Yu Shu, and then entered the gate.
He Shen hurriedly asked her to have something to eat together, Feng Shuangzhi's tense nerves relaxed at this time, the meal was silent for a while, and then she asked someone to withdraw, and she said to He Shen: "Don't blame me for making my own decisions. , I have already calculated the affairs of the palace."
He Shen was still laughing last moment, but now he was a little stagnant. He frowned and asked, "What are you planning?"
Feng Shuangzhi said: "Concubine Zhuang cannot stay."
He Shen also knew that Concubine Zhuang could not be kept, but the child in this woman's womb could eventually become a buffer, or even a bargaining chip. Now Feng Shuangzhi suddenly said that she had already calculated...
How dare he say that he is not jealous of this vinegar vat?
He Shen secretly laughed a few times, but instead of getting annoyed, he took his time and said: "Since the calculation has been made, I must not be afraid of me intervening. Madam Zhuge, a daughter, told the villain, how did you calculate?"
She knew that he was joking, but Feng Shuangzhi felt that He Shen might not be happy if she said it, so she just said, "I know that you made a move to support Concubine Zhuang's unborn child, but I don't like Concubine Zhuang. You won't like the child in her womb either. If you support Concubine Zhuang, if she doesn't die, she will be the next Xiaozhuang, so who are you?"
"Is Shuangzhi worried that I will become the next Dorgon?" He Shen laughed.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't speak.
Stretching out his hand to embrace her, He Shen sighed: "I think it would be nice to be the regent, but I'm afraid that my wife will be wronged... You have made up your mind, I'm afraid that Concubine Zhuang will be angry with you?"
Feng Shuangzhi snorted, and said: "Where is it her turn to be angry with me? If she dares to attack Tuanzi, even you and I can't tolerate her... The Queen Mother can't tolerate her either. Don't be afraid of retribution, today's calculation is complete."
So she told He Shen's ears what happened today and her own calculations, omitting Yong Yan, the rest was perfect.
He Shenjin actually laughed out loud, "So calculating, so calculating!"
"Why don't you say that I ruined your plan?" Feng Shuangzhi lowered his eyes, thinking of the conversation with the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility today.
The queen mother said: If it is really found out that it is related to Heshen, how should she deal with herself?
But the only person she can trust now is him.
He Shen knows that she still has a grudge in her heart after all, just like He Shen is still targeting Fukang'an, there is no way to let go of many things at once.Take it easy……
They are all like the proud sons of heaven, and there is no point in forcing them.
That night Feng Shuangzhi quietly nestled in his arms, "My heart is still sore."
He Shen's face was finally not tense, and a smile suddenly burst out, and he teased: "You finally know that you are sour..."
Pursing his lips, Feng Shuangzhi lowered his eyes, but suddenly said: "Let's have a daughter..."
"..." He Shen looked down at her, remembering that Feng Shuangzhi said before that he didn't want to have another child, he wanted it very hard, whether it was a daughter or a son, it would be great to have one. "really?"
Feng Shuangzhi became a little tangled for a moment, bit his lips and said, "...Really..."
He Shen's arms holding her tightened, so he hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "You can't go back on your word."
"No, I regret it." Feng Shuangzhi immediately turned around and wanted to escape.
But where can I escape?Being embraced by He Shen, the room is charming again.
The next morning, Feng Shuangzhi didn't know why she got up so early, she was a light sleeper, probably because of yesterday's calculations, so in fact, she still remembered that Feng Shuangzhi would stay here if she didn't enter the palace in the morning. Waiting for news.
Yu Shu had already been notified overnight yesterday, I'm afraid the palace has already become lively.
Feng Shuangzhi was dealing with matters in the meeting room in the west chamber, and Zhou Qu went to check, and said that Lian Shuangcheng had found the accountant, and was looking into old accounts from a few years ago.
"What is Lian Shuang City trying to do?" Zhou Qu couldn't understand.
Feng Shuangzhi smiled and said, "Do you know where most of the taxes in the entire Qing Dynasty come from?"
"South." This is unquestionable, but after Zhou Qu said it, he saw Feng Shuangzhi's eyes, and knew that his answer was too shallow, and then remembered that the topic was linked to Lian Shuangcheng, so he changed his words. , said, "Salt tax?"
"It's the salt tax." Feng Shuangzhi clasped his fingers on the table of the Eight Immortals, "The transport of grain on the Cao River depends on the Cao Gang, and the leader of the Cao Gang has always been a figure that the court has always been afraid of. It took a lot of time to investigate the matter, I am afraid it is only related to the salt merchants... The salt tax accounts for the bulk of the tax revenue of the household department. It’s on the salt merchant’s side. Whoever can handle the matter of the small treasury for the emperor will be the celebrity in front of the emperor—it’s just that I don’t know which side Lian Shuangcheng is working for.”
If the Yanzheng's accounts are checked, they will definitely be able to find out a lot of people.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't tell Zhou Qu that Lian Shuangcheng had ambitions for Lianghuai officialdom—if Zhou Qu was smart enough, he would think of it.I just don't know if Zhou Qu can think of going there.
At this moment, Feng Shuangzhi was still scheming about Chen Hongmou's affairs.
Regardless of whether it is Lian Shuangcheng or Wang Jie, as long as something can be found out, Chen Hongmou will have nothing but bad luck—he used to be an official in Jiangnan, and he was a second-rank official. Everything has nothing to do with him.
The things in this country up and down seem to have no connection, but in fact they affect the whole body.
Before leaving the palace in the afternoon, she had already made arrangements for the future. First, she continued to wait for news from Lianshuang City in the south of the Yangtze River; second, if there was news from Wang Jie, no matter what it was, she would Let Zhou Qu take a look first, and if it is too urgent, go to Heshen or do it yourself if you are sure. If you are not in a hurry, just wait for Feng Shuangzhi to come back; third, strictly monitor Mi In the situation over there, the price must not be raised.
This year's harvest is not good, and the rise in rice prices is not considered serious, but the effects of this year's poor harvest will be revealed when the spring planting is next year.There is a period of explosion. Feng Shuangzhi doesn't know when the problem will happen, but the problem of rice price must be suppressed.
She has said it many times, which shows how much she attaches importance to this matter.
Zhou Qu also knew that he didn't dare to do any tricks on this matter.
In fact, Feng Shuangzhi basically has a free-ranging policy for the managers below, allowing you to do tricks and embezzle small things, but these must be included in the accounts, and things on the accounts cannot be wrong.If you are greedy for a little bit of cheapness, it has to be something that is not on the books.
Zhou Qu wrote down these things one by one, and continued to settle accounts.
Seeing that it was coming to the end of the year, both the family and the Zhuangzi had reached the time of year-end summary and reimbursement. He was afraid that there would be too many things to finish, so he started to prepare at this time.
He was taught by Feng Shuangzhi himself, Feng Shuangzhi had a kindness for him, and he was also very loyal, Feng Shuangzhi was very reassuring to him.
Entering the palace yesterday and entering the palace today are two different states of mind.
At that time, he thought that he was going to the Hongmen Banquet, so he felt an uncontrollable anxiety in his heart, but today, Feng Shuangzhi thought of his many calculations yesterday, and knew that he would definitely hear a lot of news when he entered the palace today.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the palace, Aunt Qin sighed repeatedly, saying that there was indeed something suspicious about Concubine Zhuang, but it still needed to be investigated carefully.
Feng Shuangzhi didn't know if there were any doubts, but doubts were the beginning of further investigation.
Whether this doubt was inherent in herself, or was it created by someone later, it has nothing to do with Feng Shuangzhi - she just opened her mouth and said the news that everyone wanted.
"Aunt Qin, please rest assured. She is just a Concubine Zhuang. What kind of waves can she make in the hands of Lafayette?" Feng Shuangzhi comforted Aunt Qin, and when she entered the palace gate, she saw that the Empress Dowager was in that lingering sick bed again. of weakness.
He could still talk last night, but today he didn't say a word, only Feng Shuangzhi was studying.
This "Story of the Stone" used to be said three or five times a day, but now it is only one or two times, and now it is not even half a time every day, even Feng Shuangzhi is suspicious, the queen mother may really not be able to finish listening to this book...
It only took more than an hour to get out of the Compassionate Ning Palace.
The Queen Mother fell asleep in a daze, so Aunt Qin and Nanny Fang dragged Feng Shuangzhi to the side hall to sit and chat some gossip. If the Queen Mother didn't wake up for a while, Feng Shuangzhi could leave. If she woke up, she still wanted to hear After a while, Feng Shuangzhi was called in.
It's just that they were drinking tea here, and Feng Shuangzhi skillfully tricked Aunt Fang and Aunt Qin into clichés. Before he could speak halfway, he saw a maid in a pink embroidered jacket come in, with a flustered expression on her face. , Said: "Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin, Sister Fang, Sister Fang, something happened in the imperial garden."
Feng Shuangzhi held the teacup calmly and put it in the palm of his hand for a while. After listening to the court lady's words, he put down the teacup, looked at Aunt Qin and Nanny Fang who had different expressions, and asked, "Your Majesty?" What happened in the garden?"
Aunt Qin turned her head and sighed, "I heard that Concubine Zhai Zhuang just went out to visit the garden today?"
The palace maid nodded quickly and said: "It was Concubine Zhuang who was visiting the garden, but unfortunately she met Concubine Yu, and the two of them went into the pavilion together, saying that they wanted to see Concubine Yu's favorite green peony, but they didn't know why... ...Then... Concubine Zhuang fell off the railing of the pavilion and fell into the water in a short while... I heard that the emperor and the imperial physician were there just after being rescued."
Concubine Yu?
Feng Shuangzhi was taken aback, thinking what does this have to do with Concubine Yu?
She felt a little confused.
Aunt Qin looked at Feng Shuangzhi, and suppressed the doubts that came up in her heart. Feng Shuangzhi's expression did not seem to be faked, and this matter probably had nothing to do with her.Before, she thought it was too coincidental, why did Feng Shuangzhi come to tell the secret yesterday, and such a thing happened today?If this baby is gone, it will be difficult to check.
Feng Shuangzhi still didn't know that Aunt Qin was doubting herself, so she looked puzzled: "The railing is not low, so how could it fall out without external force?"
"This is the weirdest part of the matter. It is said that Concubine Yu is kneeling in front of Concubine Zhuang's palace now, and the emperor ordered her to get up whenever Concubine Yu is recruited." The maid said again After saying a word, but looking at the aunts' eyes, they were a little scared, and said, "Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu are on good terms, and now they have gone to save the situation."
"Where is the rescue, it's almost like throwing stones into trouble, right?" Nanny Fang sneered.
In the palace, what scene haven't you seen?
Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling are at odds. It is no secret at all among them, the old people around the Empress Dowager of Compassionate Ning Palace. won't believe it.
Even Lingfei herself didn't believe it.
"Sister Concubine Yu, why are you kneeling outside? Hurry up, the sun is still poisonous."
As soon as Concubine Ling walked outside the palace gate, she saw Concubine Yu, she sneered suddenly, but stepped on the bottom of the flower pot, hiding the sneer on her face, with a look of panic and bewilderment.
Concubine Yu's heart turned cold when she heard this voice, she always felt that Concubine Ling was a little weird today.
She herself hated Concubine Ling poisonously. Concubine Yu fell out of favor in Chengde back then, Concubine Yu contributed to the flames, without her to help Xinamula, relying on the fact that Xinamula didn't know anyone when she first entered Chengde , it is simply impossible to do that.Now she is in trouble, and it is suspected that she designed Concubine Zhuang and also Concubine Zhuang's child...
The scene where Qianlong was furious and told her to go away just now is still vivid in my memory, Lingfei is going to add fuel to the fire.
"Please, my sister is worried. This matter is really unexpected. My sister shouldn't have asked Concubine Zhuang and her sister to go to see the green peony together. The railing of the pavilion fell in disrepair for a long time. I couldn't save it even if I was there. To be able to watch Concubine Zhuang's sister fall..."
Saying that, Concubine Yu began to cry, with a look of grievance and sadness, and a bit of guilt that was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Concubine Ling sneered in her heart, and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister, Concubine Zhuang will be fine, I will go in and intercede for you."
"Thank you, Concubine Ling over there."
Concubine Yu bowed her head, she was actually not considered a beauty anymore, she was too old and well cared for but not as good as a young one.
Concubine Yu is not as good as Concubine Ling, and Concubine Ling is not as good as Concubine Zhuang. The beauty has changed from generation to generation, and there is no shortage of new faces in this palace.
After Concubine Ling finished comforting Concubine Yu, she adjusted her makeup and walked into Concubine Zhuang's palace.
The atmosphere in the palace was very tense, but it made Concubine Ling go crazy with jealousy - when her Xiao Shiqi left that day, was there such a solemn scene?Those individuals are not following the trend.
Qianlong liked it, so he was nervous. When Yonglin died, he didn't see him shed a single tear.
After being the emperor for a long time, not only his heart, but even his blood became cold.
Concubine Ling suppressed the restlessness in her heart, and went into the palace: "My concubine greets Lord Long Live. I heard that something happened to Concubine Zhuang's sister. I am anxious and want to come and see."
Qianlong was in a bad mood, so he sat inside and told her to get out.
"I didn't have good intentions all the time. You and that bitch kneeling outside have always controlled the harem and prevented Concubine Zhuang from living! Now that something happened to her, you can't see anyone else, are you satisfied? ! "
Maybe Qianlong's voice was too angry, which made Concubine Ling feel that this time was a big deal.
It's just that she has served Qianlong for many years, and concluded that he has no love, and she was angry today because she spoiled Himamura.
"Long Live Lord, this matter has nothing to do with concubines. Sister Concubine Yu has always been kind-hearted, and Sister Concubine Zhuang is even a good person among good people. I believe that auspicious people have their own appearance."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of a cup being dropped from inside.
But someone knelt down at once, "This slave deserves to die. This slave deserves to die—"
As soon as Qianlong kicked the servant away, he said harshly: "If you dare to make mistakes at this time, drag him out and beat him to death!"
"Whoo."
The servants below knew that Qianlong was furious, and dragged him away without saying a word.
There was the sound of a stick touching flesh outside, and after about a quarter of an hour, the sound stopped, presumably the person was gone.
Concubine Ling didn't dare to go in without Qianlong's summons, but the calculation in her heart never stopped.
Just as he was about to speak again, he heard the panicked voice of the imperial physician suddenly coming from inside: "Qi, Qi, Your Majesty... Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Zhuang's concubine's child, I didn't keep it..."
Qianlong's eyes suddenly went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
