Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

After returning, Ye Tianshi looked through the classics, and later told Concubine Rong that he felt that there was fish powder on those new clothes, and the slight fishy smell was covered by the smell of the new clothes. , causing dizziness.

Concubine Rong immediately asked him to tell Yingluo about this, and took the new clothes for a thorough inspection to see if there was any fish powder. Fish powder is a powder made from shark fins. It is very rare and has a mild taste, so it is not poisonous. Rather a good tonic pill ingredient.If the powder is ground to an extremely fine level, it will not be easy to distinguish.Yingluo was shocked when she heard about it, and immediately thought of the golden silkworm poison in Nanyuan back then, thinking that Yuan Chunwang must have done it, and told Fu Heng about it.

In order to prove the fish powder, Fu Heng taught Pu Dawa to inquire about the merchants in the southeast coast through Fan's family. The reply was that this is a special product of Hainan. Is there any fish meal on it.After Yujingyuan washed the new clothes received by Ruigui people with vinegar pulp, they got large precipitated particles.This is a fact.After the clothes are washed with only water, fish meal will still remain.

In order not to startle the snake, they only found some excuses, quietly changed all the clothes, curtains and beddings of Ruigui, and cleaned up her house thoroughly, and asked her maid to hand over the new clothes to Yilu, Then Yilu continued to investigate Bailu.It was discovered that Bai Lu would send satin materials to the embroidery workshop every few days when she wanted to send out new clothes. At that time, the ready-made clothes of the palace masters had already been divided, so she powdered the clothes of Ruigui at that time .

Then, those who paid close attention to Bai Lu also discovered that she often secretly burned papers to investigate the truth about Concubine Xin's sudden death in her womb. It turned out that Bai Lu gave her a box of milk cakes, because Bai Lu was her palace lady The maid, just transferred to Satin Workshop, one day she took the opportunity to go back to see Concubine Xin, and secretly exchanged the milk cake that Concubine Xin loved to eat with a box of poisonous milk cake. overthrow.

These discoveries are shocking and point directly to Queen Nala.Yingluo thought about whether to tell the emperor for several days, and suddenly remembered what Yuan Chunwang had said to herself in Xinzheku, and Nala didn't know about the racecourse and Nanyuan back then, so another suspicion arose.Fu Heng immediately sent someone to investigate Yuan Chunwang's life experience, and found clues that he was probably the illegitimate son born when the late emperor died in Taihang Mountain.

Yingluo then strung together everything: everything he did was because he went to the capital to recognize his father, but was forced to become a eunuch and entered Yongwang's mansion, and later entered the palace. Concubine Ling has a very high status in the harem, and her goals are too big. If something happens, the palace will thoroughly investigate and he will be easily exposed. The case of concubine Wan's poisoning was a precedent.So he chose other unremarkable concubines, such as Concubine Xin and Lady Rui.He targeted Concubine Xin because she was pregnant with the emperor's heir at the time, and he targeted Ruigui because she became the emperor's newcomer at that time and had a close relationship with Concubine Ling.

However, Yuan Chunwang followed Nala's instructions and taught people to prescribe medicine to the nobleman, which hit him in the arms. Therefore, the matter had been going on for several years, Yingluo and the others had no way of knowing, and he often went out of the palace to visit the prince's mansion. Rachel's order.So Yingluo suspected that Yuan Chunwang was also responsible for the fire. Although there was no evidence, he had a reason to burn Emperor Yongqi and his son to death, and the arsonist whom he bribed should have been silenced.Just when Yingluo and Concubine Rong were going to expose Yuan Chunwang to the emperor, Fu Heng discovered another shocking secret and asked them to temporarily press the matter and keep silent.

After the Jiuzhou Qingyan caught fire, it needed repairs, and at that time the Xiyuan also began a comprehensive renovation, so the emperor and his concubines moved back to the Forbidden City last year.In February of this year, during the thousand-year-old birthday of Empress Nala, one hundred and eight lamas were assigned as usual to recite the Sutra of the Buddha of Infinite Life in the main hall of Lama Temple; three.The empress salutes first before the empress dowager, then before the emperor, and then receives congratulatory gifts from the princess, Fujin and first- and second-rank wives in the Jiaotai Hall in the Forbidden City.

After the congratulatory ceremony, the empress received gifts from the empress dowager and the emperor, which were delivered by Li Yu himself.The Empress Dowager gave Wanli a five-colored Buddha bowl, a plate of Dongzhu and Chaozhu, and the emperor gave the imperial jade book "Buddha said the five virtues of the sages". Wealth, beauty, fame, and great wisdom, the jade book contains the eight auspicious patterns of the Buddha, the last moment of each body "longevity", and a lapis lazuli gold dragon and phoenix screen, and a pair of copper cloisonné enamel Ganoderma lucidum bonsai, won All in admiration.

Then, the concubines and concubines ordered their wives to give birthday gifts.The imperial concubine entered a golden pastel conch offering vessel, full of light and magnificence; the concubine Rong entered a large Dustan-style agate flower plate, which was crystal clear and unique, and the wreath entered a coral Avalokitesvara, with round muscles and bones, a serene and bright expression pure.Concubine Shu entered a vase with ink-colored landscape images on a turquoise green space, Concubine Qing entered a jug with enamel painted peony flowers on a copper body, Concubine Ying entered a plate with colorful auspicious animal patterns, and Concubine Shen entered a green pastel porcelain plate with blessings and longevity One hangs on the wall, one pendant with engraved gold and amber grape patterns from the Wu nobleman, and one from the prince's mansion with emerald carved clouds and dragon patterns on the mouth of sunflower... It's so lively.

I don't want concubine Shen to pass away on the fourth day of June.Concubine Shen began to fall ill after the Queen's birthday. During this period, the emperor called Ye Tianshi to see him. He also dispatched two doctors from Erut to Beijing to treat Concubine Shen. Recalling Shenpin's younger brother, Elut Muji, the armored man, came to the capital, but he was still unable to recover.On the seventh day of June, the empress, concubine and others went to Jing'anzhuang Funeral Palace to bid farewell to Concubine Shen's golden coffin. The concubine did not attend because she was unwell.Concubine Shen's death dealt a heavy blow to Nala.After years of getting along, she and Concubine Shen have a very close relationship. After Concubine Shen fell ill, she often dreamed of Wugege Zhaoyang in her dreams because of her anxiety.

When concubine Shen was dying, she held the queen's hand and said: Empress empress, you are really like a family member to me, we got better, but unfortunately I can no longer serve you, you must take care of your health, concubine prays for your health Healthy, everything goes smoothly!The master said that Twelve Elder Brothers are pure in talent and extraordinary in nature, this is your blessing.He is so filial and motivated, my concubine wishes that he will ascend to the high position in the future, and you will be dependent for life.The concubine sees that Concubine Rong is really kind-hearted, you should be close to her, so that I don't have much contact with her, Concubine Rong, and she looks very kind.

Nala burst into tears. Eleventh elder brother's marriage was arranged by the emperor a few years ago. What kind of pro-marriage is for Fucha's family and Wei Yingluo, but he didn't see him talking about Yongzhen...Concubine Rong?Concubine Ling?It's even more ridiculous, Concubine Shen is really naive.

Then, the red-haired parrot that Nala's raised for many years died suddenly, and Nala's mood became more and more depressed.One day, he looked in the mirror and asked Zhen'er: Does the emperor despise me?Ben Gong tried every means to keep the current beauty, but the body told Ben Gong that everything was futile, everything was futile.In a few years, when this full head of blue hair turns into white hair, even the servants will laugh at me and sympathize with me.As he spoke, he swept the dowry on the dressing table to the ground.

Zhen'er hurriedly knelt down and said: Madam, all women will grow old, even if they are pampered like Concubine Rong, they will also grow old!Nalashi laughed and said: They?Wei Yingluo is ten years younger than Ben Gong, Concubine Rong and Wei Mei are younger than her.The nobleman is in his early twenties... When Zhen'er saw that she suddenly mentioned Wei Yingluo, she couldn't help being surprised, and she didn't know what to say.

Yuan Chunwang came in from the outside and said: Master, the Queen Mother is also getting old.Zhen'er hurriedly said: Stop talking, stop talking!Yuan Chunwang ignored her and continued: "My lord, the queen mother is over seventy years old, but she has never been worried. Why, because she relies on her son, not her husband. There is a huge difference between the two.Master, think again, for so many years, the emperor and the empress dowager have had such a serious heart disease, but the empress dowager is still enjoying her old age in Changchun garden, the emperor still gave her enough face, and Qingyi garden is being built in full swing. Think about it, this is Why?It is because she is the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty!If the emperor wants to touch her, it will be unfilial, and he will be drowned in the spittle of the world, not to mention that he has always said that he governs the world with filial piety.

Nala returned to normal, snorted, and said: When is it the turn of a dog slave to teach me a lesson!

Yuan Chunwang was not frightened, he just said: Master, what a decisive person you were in the past.Over the years, you have firmly held the chaotic harem in your hands, and there are a large number of courtiers who support you and the twelfth elder brother. Look at the Fucha family, their roots are deep and leafy , Gathering stars, talented people come forth in large numbers, but the former queens are weak, master, you are just the opposite, you almost rely on your own strength to gradually revitalize Huifanara's family, so that it has today's momentum, what is this? Courage, what a means!Compared with you, Fucha Rongyin is like the stars to Haoyue, far inferior.But master, you have really changed now.

Tears welled up in Nala's eyes, looked at him, and asked: Has it changed?Yuan Chunwang nodded, and said: You have become indecisive, looking forward and backward.Forgive me for saying it bluntly, the master is never concerned about others, and the master is worried about the current emperor.You are not afraid of failure, you are afraid of breaking his heart and losing him completely.But master, how many years has the emperor not stayed in Chengqian Palace?Will he still be sad for you?Why can't someone as powerful as you get rid of the fate of ordinary women and break free from the shackles of emotions?You obviously can win very beautifully, but you suffer so hard everywhere, a slave is not worth it for a master.

Nala stood up, slapped the table, and said: "I don't need you to talk about my palace's affairs, go to the Punishment Department and get forty feet."Yuan Chunwang bowed his head and said, "Hey."backed out.Zhen'er hurriedly said: "Ma'am!"Nala said: "every word he said just now, once spread out, it will definitely implicate me, if it doesn't give you face, it should be killed alive."Zhen'er was taken aback and dared not speak again.

At night, Zhen'er applied medicine to Yuan Chunwang, saw blood dripping from his waist, tears in his eyes, and saw that he was breathing in pain when he applied the medicine, and said: "Why do you think you are doing this?"Yuan Chunwang smiled and said, "Why are you crying?"The fact that she was so angry proved that I touched her heart.Zhen'er said: You know that the empress is ruthless, but you are infatuated with the emperor. The empress has stayed alone in the vacant room for many years and watched her face age. How cruel is this? How can you prick her sore spot?

Yuan Chunwang said: If we don't do this, will it make her completely awake?Zhen'er stopped taking the medicine and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"Yuan Chunwang's eyes turned cold, and he said, "I want her to recognize herself, the emperor, and the road under her feet."appearance?Now, what else does she need for looks?ten years old?Even if she is 20 years younger and her appearance will never change, she will not be able to compare with Concubine Rong. She is simply going astray.Think about it, Queen Mother, is it because of her appearance?Zhen'er said: But the empress is always reluctant to part with the emperor.Yuan Chunwang said in a low voice: If she can't be cruel, I will do it myself.

Zhen'er was still administering the medicine to him, and blowing pitifully, she didn't hear what he was saying clearly, once when she met Hong Zhou on the corridor in the palace, she told Prince He, saying that because Concubine Shen passed away, the Empress Dowager I haven't been sleeping well lately.Hong Zhou immediately taught people to collect a lot of Zihe chariots for the queen, and asked Wu Deya to send them to the palace, saying that they could beautify her beauty, and sent her a small green-haired talking parrot through Yuan Chunwang to amuse her.Nalashi felt comfortable in his heart and slept well.

But the emperor didn't know that because Nala wore makeup every day, she was orderly as usual, presided over the morning meeting and the affairs of the Six Palaces, and did not send the imperial physician to see her. Yan laughed.Only once, when the emperor and Li Yu came, they smelled a fishy smell, but the empress had taught Zhen'er to take the things away, covering up that she was using deer embryos to preserve her health.The emperor came out of Chengqian Palace and told Li Yu that it seems that Concubine Rong was right that day, the empress wanted to stay young forever.Li Yu saw that the emperor's expression was unkind, so he kept silent.

Yuan Chunwang found that the injury on his waist was still not healed, so he found a day's lunch time to go to the military aircraft to look for Hong Zhou.The two closed the door.Yuan Chunwang explained his reason for coming.Hong Zhou was surprised and said: What did you say?Yuan Chunwang said: "My lord, in the past ten years, I have understood that in the entire Forbidden City, only you, my lord, care about the empress most, and you are the only one who cares about her most."If you don't help her, the future of the empress will be even more difficult.Hong Zhou nodded and said: I will find an opportunity to persuade the emperor.

Yuan Chunwang asked: What do you advise?Hong Zhou said: Advise him to be kind to the emperor's wife and the twelfth elder brother.Yuan Chunwang lowered his eyes and said, "The empress has been looking forward to such a dream for a long time. It has been 30 years. Has it come true?"The so-called kindness is nothing but pity.The Queen's master is such a proud person, she will never beg for mercy from others.Not to mention Baoyue Tower, that was originally an announcement to pacify the Ministry, just to say that the appearance of the square, not even a concubine, not even a noble concubine, can make the emperor build a small western garden building for her. Isn't this humiliating the empress and master?Isn't this announcing to the world that the queen is just a decoration?For so many years, the empress has been neglected, but she still maintains the airs of the mother of the country on her face, which is well known in the palace.My lord, this servant just needs to say more, now I can't count on the emperor, only you can help the master and the twelve princes, and only you have the ability to help them.

Hong Zhou said: Let me think about it.Allow me to think again.Yuan Chunwang lowered his head and said: Helping them is also helping the prince yourself.Hong Zhou frowned and looked at him.Yuan Chunwang said: "The fourth elder brother is an idiot who cannot be supported, but the fifth elder brother is very close to Fu Heng's family, and has formed a party with Fu Heng."Don't forget, in the past ten years, the relationship between you and Fu Heng has been at the same level, and the fifth elder brother is the adopted son of Concubine Rong. Dabao, the Fucha family is even more powerful, you uncle, stand aside.Hong Zhou's heart skipped a beat.Yuan Chunwang continued to lower his eyebrows and said pleasingly: Don't talk about the fifth elder brother, even if he is the emperor, has he trusted you wholeheartedly?Your lord, you understand better than a slave.

Yuan Chunwang walked out of the military aircraft office, just as Fu Heng came back from lunch, the two met in the corridor.Yuan Chunwang bowed immediately, bowed and said, "Master Fu Heng."Then he got up and walked carelessly, but never looked at Fu Heng, as if he was not in his eyes.Fu Heng frowned, and looked back at him, the military aircraft is important, the eunuchs of the inner court are not allowed to enter unless ordered, and Li Yu is the only person who can come here according to the order of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
