Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Mother Tao sighed in her heart, Concubine Rong was worried about He Zhu, now that Hu Gege is pregnant, how could she speak of her, and Ybor is Yongqi's concubine, let alone her, she is really someone else's daughter-in-law is not good It's even harder for Prince Fujin to do it, he doesn't care about those who are mischievous when going out, but cares about those who behave at home, because it is Fujin.He hurriedly said: "The slave understands, and the slave will tell the master."Thanks to the emperor and the empress for their care, I have been serving my master for several years, I ask myself to know him, the master is born well, but she is a lady from a famous family, and the family has many important affairs, not as much as being in the palace.

Concubine Rong smiled and said: "Kneel down, if there is anything, I will come to you again."Tao Nanny's heart sank, Concubine Rong meant that if the palace made any mistakes in the private boudoir, it would be her fault.And Concubine Rong meant that she was obeying the holy order.Concubine Rong is young, a flower-like person, besides serving the emperor and queen mother, she likes to sing, dance and ride horses. Although the emperor loves her very much, she and the fifth elder brother are not as close as Concubine Qing, and they like Fukang'an more. It is well known in the palace .At this time, I couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and quickly kowtowed: "I understand, please don't worry, the emperor and Concubine Rong!"

After Tao Nanny left, Caiyun asked Concubine Rong: Madam, what are you worried about?Do you really think that Fujin... Concubine Rong said: The empress and the empress both ordered that elder brother should be careful about such things when the mansion is divided. The empress said that she called the steward of the fourth elder brother's mansion every half a month Mama will report to her, and will also send Director Yuan to the palace to investigate in person.But I'm not talking about He Zhu. Some slaves like to instigate their masters to please them. Concubine Qing said that the nuns would bully the master.Tomorrow, you will also call the nanny in Ybor's house, and I have to tell her to do it.Caiyun didn't understand what the important thing Concubine Rong was talking about, but she also felt that the master was right and respected her.

On the second day when Nanny Pan came to Yongshou Palace, Concubine Rong also asked her about Ibor's situation, and also asked about He Zhu and Ibor's relationship.Nanny Pan then told what happened in the temple that day.Concubine Rong said: "Mama is thinking too much, it's just a word."Nanny Pan said: The slave is afraid that someone will harm the master.The slave doesn't mean Fujin, the people around her or those of the E family will be hard to protect. Elder brother is now a prince, and it's good that Fujin gave birth to a son, but if she can't give birth, she can't blame others.

Concubine Rong said angrily: How dare you speak such nonsense? !Nanny Pan also immediately felt a slip of the tongue, because Yibor was usually close to Concubine Rong, so she was careless for a moment, and then remembered that Concubine Rong could not have children, so she knelt down, slapped herself twice, and said: "Yes, this slave is talking nonsense." Eight ways, relying on the old and selling the old, please punish the concubine Rong.Concubine Rong asked: What do you know?Nanny Pan said: "I don't know anything, I'm just an old man in the palace. I'm afraid even now when I think about the incident that Concubine Wan poisoned the empress that year!"Not to mention our master, the servant is also sweating for Hu Gege, she is now pregnant with the prince's child.

After hearing this, Concubine Rong smiled and said: You are loyal, I have made a note of it, forget about the mistake you made just now.If you see something abnormal, you can go back and forth to the palace immediately, just come, others dare not stop you.Nanny Pan was busy thanking you.Concubine Rong said again: "The slaves in Prince Rong's mansion, whoever dares to provoke trouble, will be the first to be punished. When they come to me, it doesn't matter whether the old or the new, or who the master is, you can go back at ease, I will take care of everything."Mother Pan was startled, knowing that Concubine Rong was talking about her, she obediently withdrew.After coming out, he thought: Concubine Rong, looking good-natured, it's really not easy, far better than the master Gao Guifei back then.Finally understand how she can always be favored.I am also happy for the fifth elder brother and Ibor.

After Nanny Pan left, Concubine Rong immediately went to Shoukang Palace. On the second day, there was an order from the Empress Dowager, saying that she missed her granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson, and asked Hu Jiajia to live in Yongshou Palace. Then send it back to the palace.Everyone in Prince Rong's mansion was very surprised, only a few days after moving out of the palace, Yong Qi was also very surprised, only Nanny Pan understood.Both He Zhu and Nanny Tao breathed a sigh of relief, this way, another trouble would be saved.Only then did Caiyun realize that Concubine Rong was referring to the grandson of the emperor, Concubine Rong just smiled, noncommittal.

A few days later, Yong Qi sent Hu Jiajia into the palace, and after handing it over to Concubine Qing in Yongshou Palace, she went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask Concubine Rong.Concubine Rong told everyone to go down and close the door.Then she said that this was what the queen mother meant, and she thought it was very good, and said that he should treat He Zhu well so that He Zhu and Yibol would not get along.Yongqi suddenly understood what Concubine Rong was talking about, and said: He Zhu is definitely not that kind of person, Concubine Rong is too worried.

Concubine Rong smiled and said: I know you are all good children, although you don't care about He Zhu, you still speak for her like this.Concubine Rong didn't doubt her.But the people in your mansion, except Eunuch Zheng who was personally appointed by the emperor, and those three Fujin's close-knit mothers were appointed by Yilu in Yuanmingyuan. I want the House of Internal Affairs to change all of them. This matter I've already asked for an order from the Queen's mother, and when the person here is ready, I will change it.Yong Qi was surprised and said: What do you mean?

Concubine Rong said: "It's always good to be careful, this is what you should do when you leave the palace."Yong Qi looked at her and suddenly understood that she was worried that someone would plant eyeliner in Rong Wang's mansion because of the queen and the fourth elder brother, so she said: "My son doesn't think that the queen's mother and the fourth elder brother are like that kind of people."Concubine Rong smiled, and said: Concubine Rong didn't suspect anyone, but you are far outside the palace, I don't worry about it, and your imperial grandma doesn't worry about it, and now Mrs Fu Heng and Mrs Nalan are not here, even though there are so many guards , you have to be careful with everything yourself.Yong Qi hurriedly knelt down and said: Thank you, Concubine Rong, for caring about her son so much.

Concubine Rong helped him up and said: "Your business is the business of mother concubine, but you and I know these words."Yong Qi nodded.Concubine Rong laughed again and said: Not only He Zhu will not, I believe the E family will not be against the two Ge Ge, we all know the E family, and now we are only afraid that the disaster will happen again.But I told the two nuns of Tao Pan to remind them not to make troubles for no reason, and to be careful of the people around the two masters.Concubine Qing and I are responsible for the affairs of your house, so you concentrate on your studies and work on your errands.Yong Qi nodded solemnly.

Prince Rong's mansion hadn't changed yet, but something happened in the palace.It was the seventh day of March, and Concubine Rong was rehearsing dance music with Lu Wenhong at the Department of Harmony, and saw the infantrymen of the nine admirals pouring into the palace with spears, everyone was shocked. Concubine Rong saw that the leader of the infantry was Cai Yanlin, the commander of the infantry, Cai Yanlin saluted her respectfully.Not long after, the Department of Harmony and various palaces arrested many eunuchs.

Yuan Chunwang was walking on the corridor in the palace, when he saw Tian Jin being arrested, he was extremely shocked, he went up to ask Cai Yanlin, but Cai Yanlin didn't know him, seeing that he was an eunuch, he ignored him, so he reported his family name and said Tian Jin Jin is the deputy manager of the respect room, and he usually works with himself, so he asked himself.Cai Yanlin said: Director Yuan, these people belong to the White Lotus Sect, and I am acting according to orders.Yuan Chunwang said in surprise: "White Lotus Sect?" !Looking at Tian Jin, Tian Jin lowered his head.

After everyone was taken away, Yuan Chunwang hurried back to Chengqian Palace.I saw that Nala was drinking tea slowly, and when he came in sweating profusely, he smiled and said, "What happened?"Yuan Chunwang hurriedly knelt down and said: Madam, can you still laugh?The slave's head will be lost!Nala stood up with a smile, teased the red parrot on the bird stand, and said leisurely: "Is it about the White Lotus Sect?"Manager Yuan, why do you think you are still standing here?A flash of inspiration flashed in Yuan Chunwang's mind, and said: So, the empress already knew?Is it the empress who saved the slave?

Nala said: "In the first month, the emperor told me that Qiu Rixiu and Menglin from the military aircraft have been investigating the White Lotus Sect in the capital for more than a year. There are many eunuchs in the palace. There are about [-] people." Well, the roster is complete, and they are all under surveillance. See if these people are still in contact with anyone inside and outside the palace, and then arrest them.At that time, I thought, you are going to be in trouble. As the head of the respect room, you don't know such things. Fortunately, you are not on the roster.Yuan Chunwang broke out in cold sweat, the emperor's affairs were really surreptitious, and he said: Yes, your empress is very aware, the servant is so loyal to you, how could it be taught by the White Lotus.

Nala said: I saw Tian Jin's name, so I pretended not to know, and told the emperor, you think Tian Jin is suspicious, and you have returned to me years ago. Investigation, I don't know if this Tian Jin also joined the White Lotus Sect?You just saved your head.Naturally, such a confidential event cannot be told in advance, so it is not easy for me to tell you.Yuan Chunwang heaved a sigh of relief, kowtowed and said: Thank you, ma'am!The slave understands!

Nala said: "Get up."I also look at Zhen'er, I don't want her to be sad, I know you two are good.Yuan Chunwang said: "Thank you, Madam, for saving my life!"Nala said: "Just now when Zhen'er saw that someone was coming to arrest someone, she was very anxious for you. I told her that she is going back to her room now. You can go and have a look."Yuan Chunwang said: Yes!As he spoke, he came out quickly and returned to the back room where he lived.

I saw Zhen'er was praying with her eyes closed in front of the Buddhist altar. She was afraid for a while, and immediately stepped forward, hugged her in her arms, and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your mother told me everything!"Zhen'er let out a big breath, and said: "I was really scared just now, I was afraid that you would be taken too, so I hurriedly asked my mother where you went!"Fortunately, the empress saved you!Said and shed tears.

Yuan Chunwang closed his eyes and said: Why did the emperor send someone to investigate the White Lotus Sect?Isn't that the difference with the prince?Zhen'er said: Your Majesty said that after the turmoil in the White Lotus Sect that year, the emperor no longer fully trusted him and the prince, that's why he sent someone else at the same time.The two of them didn't know that Hongzhou was still involved in the big case of the Yellow Sect, and Nala didn't tell them.

Yuan Chunwang nodded, thinking of the way Tian Jin looked at him just now, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart.Tian Jin has always been flattering and flattering to himself, but he is really loyal and capable in his work. Half of the praise he has received over the years is due to him. He even found the purple pattern for him before. He treats Tian Jin well. .Unexpectedly, he joined the White Lotus Sect.And the White Lotus Sect has developed so many people among the eunuchs in the inner court. Naturally, it is determined to overthrow the emperor, and it is also gloating in its heart, sharing the same hatred with the enemy.

On the second day, he went to the Punishment Department to visit the prison, and it was overcrowded.He asked someone to bring Tian Jin into the secret room and asked him what was going on.Tian Jin smiled wryly and said: This is caused by the slave who likes to gamble. I owe people money on credit, that is, Li Cai, Wang A and the other two. I saw that they are generous, so I got closer. I bought it, and said that everyone can spend it together, so you won't be afraid of gambling debts. The slave didn't think so much, but he didn't dare to tell you.Yuan Chunwang said: But how could the emperor suspect that there is a White Lotus Sect in the palace?I do not even know.

Tian Jin said: "This slave doesn't know either."As he spoke, he shed tears, and said, "Mr. Yuan, thank you for still thinking about me, come to see me, and I will serve you in vain. I still have 300 taels of silver in Qingshengdang, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, please take it away." Send it to the servant's house, don't just talk about me.Yuan Chunwang hurriedly responded, and said: Don't worry, I'll see if I can rescue you, you stay here for a few days first.Tian Jin shook his head and said: "Thank you, Director Yuan, for your kindness. No one tortured us, saying that there is no room here, and we will all be killed in three days."Yuan Chunwang was startled and angry, his back felt chilly, and he was speechless for a while.

On the night of the seventh day, Concubine Rong also went to Huazitang to ask the emperor what was going on.

The emperor told her that Qiu Rixiu and Menglin investigated the incident in Yangzhou according to their own secret decree, and found that the eunuch who accompanied the southern tour leaked the emperor's whereabouts, and the bandits of the White Tiger Gang would rob him. The bandits worked for the White Lotus Sect. It was to make a huge fortune, but pretended not to know that he was the emperor, so that he could get away with it, and dared to use poison, but was blocked by Fu Heng and Concubine Rong.

However, he and Fu Hengben suspected that the incident was done by the White Lotus Sect, so he asked the two of them to continue searching for various clues, only to find out that these eunuchs turned out to be members of the White Lotus Sect, and thus added all the secrets in the palace to the White Lotus Sect The eunuchs were found out.And a guard at the North City Gate of Yangzhou also joined the White Lotus Sect to let the bandits into the city. Later, this person was also sent to suppress the bandits on the Nashan Mountain. He died on the mountain that year, so the clues are not easy to find.

Concubine Rong suddenly remembered what happened that year. It turned out that those bandits knew who she was at all, pretended not to know, and they didn't take her back to the village. They wanted to humiliate the emperor in the street... Fortunately, Fu Heng saved her. Unconsciously, I was extremely afraid, much more afraid than that place at that time.The emperor hugged her tightly and said: It's all right, I won't keep any of these people.Hundreds of people!Concubine Rong closed her eyes.Just listen to the emperor's way: the death of these people is not because of you, it is their own fault, you don't have to blame yourself.Concubine Rong nodded, dizzy for a while, and fell limp in the emperor's arms.Li Yu went to ask someone to invite the imperial physician, but the emperor sympathetically carried her to the bed in the inner room.

When Concubine Rong woke up again, she saw the emperor sitting on the edge of the bed holding her hand with a little worry, and forced a smile and said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty.Seeing that she was awake, the emperor finally showed his face and said: How do you feel?The doctor said you are fine.Concubine Rong was about to struggle to get up, the emperor hurriedly sat on the head of the bed and helped her up.Concubine Rong leaned against the emperor's arms, her face was pale, and she said: I'm fine, Your Majesty.The emperor hugged her and said: "Shen Bi, you are really dragged down by me when you follow me."I know, you feel sorry for those who are about to die...

Concubine Rong asked: Does Lord Fu Heng know about this?The emperor nodded and said: He knew about it before he left, but Mrs. Nalan didn't.Concubine Rong recalled what Yingluo had said to her when she left, and understood that both his monarch and his ministers were afraid that Yingluo would stop this matter if they knew about it, so they kept hiding it from her.The emperor said: These people must be dealt with, otherwise everyone in the palace will be in danger.Concubine Rong nodded, no wonder the emperor kept blocking the news, and then arrested everyone at once.

Just listen to the emperor say: Don't think too much, you stay here tonight, I will accompany you.Concubine Rong turned around, looked at him, and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about Shen Bi. Shen Bi understands what is going on with being an emperor's woman. You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and Shen Bi's husband. I respect your decision, I swear it before Allah.

The emperor's eyes were moist, and he said: "Okay, okay."As he spoke, he stroked her hair affectionately.Concubine Rong hugged the emperor and shed tears.The emperor suddenly said: "The incident in Yangzhou has finally been investigated, and it has nothing to do with Hong Zhou, but the White Lotus Sect has already infiltrated into the palace, and Hong Zhou cannot escape responsibility. No wonder the monks from Biyun Temple in Xishan left so quickly. No more clues.What happened in Yangzhou was caused by Hong Zhou's dereliction of duty.Concubine Rong asked: You were suspicious of the Prince before?The emperor snorted.

Concubine Rong said slowly: Shen Bi also suspected it before, and Shen Bi also suspected him of the Nanyuan Gu poison back then.The emperor asked: why?Concubine Rong said: "Apart from him, who else can attack by your side and know so much about you and your elder brothers?"Shen Bi could only think of Mr. Fu Heng, but Mr. Fu Heng would never.As he said, he hugged the emperor tightly, as if the emperor would disappear in a second.

The emperor felt that she was trembling slightly, and felt even more pity in his heart. He only heard Concubine Rong say: Your majesty, Shen Bi is really scared. If something happens to the emperor, Shen Bi will never live alone. Shen Bi has said long ago that she must follow her forever. emperor.The emperor became excited, left her, kissed her, and Concubine Rong was soft in his arms...
