Guoluo Luo's in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 35 Secrets, Subsequences, and Transitions

Coming out from the Empress Dowager, Wanzhao ignored the hesitation of the concubine at the end and the concubine Jing behind him, boarded the sedan chair and left for Yikun Palace.She is now full of anger, and the veil in her hand is scraped to pieces by her armor.When Kangxi asked her before, she didn't think much about it, thinking that her sister mentioned it to Kangxi when she was joking, but now it seems that someone sued her behind her back.

"What's wrong with you, you're so angry?" Concubine Yi was restrained by the Empress Dowager to pay her respects because her fetal image was not stable. She just woke up and had breakfast when she saw Wan Zhao rushing in angrily, so she asked Said, "Is someone running on you again? Which concubine dares to be so bold?"

"Running on me is a trivial matter, and they have all extended their hands to my Yongshou Palace now!" Wan Zhao said in a cold voice, "I thought they were easy to get along with, but I didn't expect them to make small tricks behind their backs, and then Even my sister's Yikun Palace is not spared! If they hadn't been so stupid to expose themselves, I wouldn't have known that there were food in my palace!"

Concubine Yi hurriedly questioned, and after listening to Wan Zhao's explanation, she was also furious: "How dare you bully us! It seems that I have been calm for two years, and they have forgotten how powerful I am!" Concubine Yi used to She is a woman with a very sharp mouth. In the past two years, she has restrained herself a lot because of her relationship with the fifth elder brother. This time, concubine Duan and the others have angered Concubine Yi, "Mu Xin, tell Madam Wu to take care of Yi Everyone in the Kun Palace will check it out for me! Anyone who sends letters to outsiders behind my back will be sent to the Punishment Department! How are you doing?" The last sentence was obviously for Wanzhao.

"I asked Mu Jin to go back a long time ago, and asked Mother Wang to investigate thoroughly immediately. But sister, you still have to tell the imperial concubine about this matter, after all, she is still in charge of palace affairs."

"What's the use of telling her, there is no eyeliner in the palace!" Yi Fei said, "Find someone to tell her secretly in front of the Empress Dowager."

"My sister wants the Empress Dowager to come forward?" Wan Zhao was puzzled, "Will the Empress Dowager care about this?"

"You'll find out when you wait." The Empress Dowager has been in the harem for many years, and she absolutely does not allow anyone to make trouble in her grandson's harem.Although this time it was only for people to inquire about the affairs around the two lords, if the elder brother and the princess in the two palaces were attacked directly next time, it would be an irreparable loss.In any case, the Empress Dowager must always take precautions.

The empress dowager descended like a thunderbolt, coupled with the investigation by Concubine Yi and Wanzhao, finally found out several people in Yikun Palace and Yongshou Palace who were involved in Xianfu Palace, and there were also a few An concubines in Chuxiu Palace. The servants who came to An □ were all newly recruited after Wanzhao moved to the palace.Wan Zhao didn't expect that the person who looked good at first would be so secretive.Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, and Concubine An are all old men who have served Kangxi for many years. They look gentle and honest, but they all have their own plans inside.

"It's an eye-opener for me this time." Mrs. Zhao Jia herself was also terrified, "I haven't come to my senses until now. It turns out that there are some people around me who are cheating." This action not only found Wanzhao's side There are people who have been bribed, and there are a few nobles in Yongshou Palace who are often around.The same goes for Yikun Palace.

"Concubine Jing and Concubine An have failed this time!" Wan Zhao snorted and laughed.Concubine An is a woman who became a concubine as soon as she entered the palace. Her status at the beginning was even higher than Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi; Rebuked and even grounded.As for Concubine Duan, she was just a small character who attached to Concubine Jing and obeyed her orders.

"Concubine Duan once gave birth to a concubine for the emperor. Although she didn't survive, the Empress Dowager would still think about her childbirth, so she just reprimanded her. Concubine Jing is different from Concubine An. They did too much this time. , I heard that some anecdotes were also revealed during the interrogation, that Brother Chengrui's early death seemed to be related to Concubine An."

"I've heard about this too, but it's been more than ten years, can we still find out?" An Bin looked dull and quiet, but she didn't expect to be so ruthless. Brother Chengrui is the first son of Kangxi, It was also Concubine Rong's first child, and it was concubine An who sent someone to kill her. It is estimated that Kangxi would never let her go lightly.

"Nurse Jingqi of the Punishment Department is very skilled. I heard that even the dead can interrogate something." Zhao Jia said, "Everyone around Concubine An has been brought into the Punishment Department for interrogation. , many of them have Concubine An's confidantes who rely heavily on them, and there are certain things that cannot be kept secret."

Probably even An Bin herself didn't know that it would be so serious. The dirty things she did would still be dug out after all.Originally, it was just to clean up the evil slaves in the two palaces, but he didn't want to dig out such a big secret. Of course, Kangxi was very concerned about the development of the matter.Concubine Duan has already decreed that her feet should not be allowed to step out of Xianfu Palace if there is nothing to do; Concubine Jing is even worse. Although Kangxi did not abolish her title of concubine, all expenses are the same as those of Chang Zai. She is not allowed to live anymore, and moved to the side hall to confine her.

As for Anpin, although the incident was too long ago, Kangxi still got something from the clues.Concubine An did indeed buy the wet nurse next to Elder Chengrui back then, but the wet nurse's family had been buried in the flames five years ago; all I know is that Concubine An once gave the nurse a medicine to take, and then Elder Chengrui's body began to burn. get weak.

Concubine Rong has been crying uncontrollably these days, holding Chengrui's clothes from before, tears streaming down her face.Kangxi was also furious, but Concubine An's identity was complicated, so she couldn't have invented an order to execute her, but Kangxi secretly gave Bai Ling to hang her, and the body was thrown into the cremation ground and burned; On the other hand, she ended up the same as Jingbi.

Although this matter did not involve many people, it was equivalent to abolishing two concubines at once. Even the women in the palace who had no eyesight did not dare to make more troubles, and lived their lives obediently and quietly.When the third Empress Dowager's birthday came at the beginning of October, Kangxi decided to hold a big event to break the dreary atmosphere these days.

It just so happened that Wan Zhao had already embroidered the Buddhist scriptures to be presented to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and it happened to be a birthday present for the Empress Dowager.Because she was worried that it would be inconvenient to read because the characters were too small, Wan Zhao specially enlarged some fonts so that it would be easier to embroider.

When it was time for the birthday banquet in the evening, Wan Zhao changed into a cherry-purple neon dress, put on a silver-plated and emerald beaded head, and held Buyechuk with one hand and the eighth elder brother with the other. Please greet the woman in the room, and then sit down in your seat.Concubine Yi's pregnancy has been three months old, and she still looks beautiful now.Compared with the imperial concubine, she was a little haggard, with some faint yellow-brown spots on her face.

Kangxi did not agree to the marriage requested by the noble concubine. As Concubine Yi said before, Niu Hulu's family was too popular, and it was true that he could no longer marry a family with a famous Manchu surname.However, he also pointed out the marriage for Yinde, and the other party was Erdete, the daughter of the left deputy governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"The imperial concubine seems to be in a good mood." Wan Zhao just sent Xiao Liu to play with a few older sisters, and sat down with the eighth elder brother when she saw Cheng concubine come over and said, "It seems that Liu Elder brother's body has improved."

"I don't really know, I have been dealing with the Yongshou Palace before." Wanzhao asked someone to bring over a plate of pastries for the eighth elder brother to chew slowly, "but seeing the ruddy face of the imperial concubine, about six Brother's health is fine, but Concubine Rong's complexion is really not good."

"Will she be in a good mood after that incident?" Cheng Concubine sighed, "Knowing people and faces but not heart, I probably understand. Fortunately, Concubine Rong still has San Ge Ge and San Elder Brother, otherwise life will be even more difficult gone."

"That's true." Wanzhao saw that Xiao Liu was holding the hand of the eldest princess and talking about something, then she turned her head and said to Concubine Cheng, "Where is Brother Seven?"

"I haven't come yet." Cheng Bin laughed, "Let Yinyou play with Eighth Brother later, the two brothers rarely see each other."

It's not that we rarely meet, it's basically never seen.The eighth elder brother seldom appeared in front of everyone before he was one year old, and occasionally met a few times and only had a face-to-face meeting. Who would expect a baby who is more than one year old to remember how many older brothers he has?Today's Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is the first time Wan Zhao has brought him out.

Waiting for the concubine De to bring the fourth elder brother, Wan Zhao asked the fifth elder brother to take the eighth elder brother to the group of brothers to identify people and get in touch with each other.To Wanzhao's surprise, the prince seemed to take special care of the eighth elder brother. It was a rare sight to see the prince not being arrogant, and even Kangxi was a little surprised.But seeing that his precious prince can take care of his younger brother, Kangxi still expressed his satisfaction. It would be even better if Yinyi could stop staring at the prince.

Probably because the prince showed his favor to him first, the eighth elder brother was closer to the prince. The elder brother who stood aside and stared at the prince looked very fierce, which made him a little scared when he was still young, and leaned closer to the prince with his small body. Nearly, it turned out that the elder brother's eyes became more fierce.The eighth elder brother flattened his mouth, tears tended to overflow.Seeing this, the prince quickly blocked the elder brother's staring gaze, then took the eighth elder brother's hand and sent him back to Wanzhao, perfectly showing the demeanor of an elder brother who takes care of the younger brother.

"What's the matter?" Wan Zhao asked gently, touching the little head of the eighth elder brother who hadn't been shaved into a half-moon hair yet.

"Brother stared at me!" Brother Ba, who was spoiled a little bit lawlessly, complained, "Brother doesn't like Xiao Ba..."

Wanzhao raised her head and looked up at her elder brother Yinyin speechlessly, seeing that his eyes followed the movements of the crown prince, clearly performing a scene of "I want to kill you with my eyes", my precious son probably was scared.She had no choice but to comfort her: "Your elder brother's eyes are tired from studying, so he can see things clearly when he widens his eyes. It's not because he doesn't like you."

"Really?" The eighth elder brother pouted, "The elder brother is too miserable!"

Wanzhao and Chengbi looked at each other, then lowered their heads and laughed.Waiting for Concubine Cheng to get the permission of the Empress Dowager to take Brother Qi over, the two children started the sexy scene where you feed me a piece of pastry and I share a piece of pastry with you.Seeing such a lovely and warm scene, Wan Zhao also burst into a smile.

Well, should I mention it to Uncle Kangxi, my baby eighth brother hasn't been named yet!
