[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

Song Qing'er followed the whole process, watched the audience, and when she came to Wei Rong's side to talk about this the next day, her eyes were still black and blue from sleeping all night.

"I never thought that Dou Changzai would be such a person!" The shock on her face was not false.

After tortured the imperial physician who did the work, he confessed that it was Dou Changzai who instigated him to secretly "add ingredients" to Wei Rong's decoction.

The relationship between Song Qing'er and Dou Changzai is not bad. A few days ago, when money was tight, it was Dou Changzai who helped her introduce the way of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, selling needles and threads for some subsidy money.

Later, Song Qing'er was favored, and she didn't have to do these jobs any more, she reciprocated, and gave Dou Changzai a lot of clothes and jewelry during the New Year's Eve as a reward.

Unexpectedly, this old man who had been out of favor for many years, was cautious in the palace, and could only make ends meet by doing needlework, turned out to be the mastermind behind this poisoning.

But people not only did it, but also did it more than once.

The imperial doctor couldn't stand the punishment and confessed everything.

It is not only Wei Rong who is murdered by Dou Chang.Last spring, she had instructed the imperial physician to use black lemongrass in the decoction Chen promised.So after Chen promised to recover from his illness, his already dark complexion became haggard and rough.

It is said that because Chen promised to be arrogant and high-spirited, Dou Chang did not pay much attention to several courtships, which made her hold a grudge.

However, Song Qing'er suspected that it was mostly because Chen promised to be beautiful, which made her jealous when she was old and decrepit.So, taking advantage of the effort to recuperate and take medicine, he did the trick.

Afterwards, Wei Rong and Jin Fengchang were around, and they were originally equals, but Concubine Xi wanted to move her, a latecomer, to the front of Dou Chang, which caused everyone to laugh at her quietly in private, so they held grudges.

"I first soaked my sister's medicinal herbs in the juice of citrine grass, and then dried them to make the medicine. Using such a sinister and vicious method, I still have the face to complain." Song Qing'er sighed.

People from the Punishment Department came to take Dou Changzai away yesterday, it took a lot of effort.No one would have imagined that Dou Changzai could be so fussy, hugging the pillars, lying on the ground, rolling around, desperately refusing to leave, shouting for injustice at the top of his voice, claiming that he never harmed Wei Rong, swearing all kinds of oaths.

In the end, it was Xi Concubine who saw that the disturbance was unseemly, and ordered someone to gag and carry her away.

Yu Fu, who was bringing in tea next to him, couldn't help interjecting: "The imperial doctor surnamed Wang is also insane, and he did such a heinous thing for dozens of taels of silver."

Song Qing'er sneered and said: "The people from the respect room went to search the day before yesterday, and they got all the stolen goods. The medicine jar is in his closet, and there are still many ginseng tablets soaked in it."

Wei Rong lowered her gaze, she took a lot of medicinal juice from it and added it to her soup yesterday.After all, too little material was used to soak the ginseng slices before, and it was difficult to detect the boiled medicine.

But things will involve Dou Changzai, which is indeed beyond her expectation.

The imperial doctor who did it was a bad gambler, he was heavily in debt outside, and he was greedy for dozens of taels of silver. Thinking that Chen Xuying was just a little promise who had no power and no power and just entered the palace, he did it.Later, Dou Changzai caught his greed for ink and medicinal materials, so he could only slide deeper and deeper on the road of crime.

On the bright side, the witnesses and material evidence are all available.

But in Wei Rong's heart, she always felt awkward.Especially on the night when the imperial physician entered the Punishment Division, he confessed to Dou Changzai, so he couldn't survive the execution, which made her even more suspicious.

Dou Chang was jealous of Chen Xu's promise, and began to poison him, she believed it.But she didn't think Dou Changzai had the guts to attack her, the emperor's "new favorite".

Without evidence, these doubts can only be buried in the bottom of my heart.

Song Qing'er sighed: "Sister Wei, you managed to take care of yourself. The emperor asked about you a few days ago. Who knew that something like this would happen again. It's been a long time."

The corners of Wei Rong's mouth twitched: "It's not a big deal, the imperial doctor said that it will recover after about half a year of recuperation." The toxin of black lemongrass must be slowly removed to restore her complexion.

Song Qing'er sighed, "Sister Wei, you are really good-natured. If something like this happens to me, the sky will fall apart."

He added, "However, Empress Xi Concubine's skin has become radiant recently, and I don't know what to use to maintain it. It would be great if I could ask for some. The skin-nourishing fragrances we use feel too greasy."

Regardless of that era, maintaining appearance is an eternal topic for women.

After saying a few more words, Song Qing'er saw that Wei Rong was exhausted, so she said goodbye and left.

As soon as she left, Wei Rong quickly got up and pulled out the hot water bottle from under the quilt.

Yufu took it, and said with a smile: "Master, it's so hot, I should retreat tomorrow."

The fever these days has been faked by relying on this thing. Knowing that there is something wrong with the medicine, of course she won't drink it anymore.

***

A few days later, she subsided from the fever and went to Xi Concubine's Palace to pay her respects.

When they went, Song Qing'er and the others had already arrived.

Dou Chang's place was vacant, and everyone knew that it was impossible for her to come back here again.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit depressing, the scene where Dou Changzai was dragged away that day was too tragic, it was still fresh in people's memory.

Song Qing'er saw Wei Rong, and immediately asked, "Sister Wei, how are you doing?"

"It's much better today." Wei Rong smiled, then turned to Chen who was sitting at the end and promised, "How is your condition, what did the imperial doctor say?"

Also as a victim of Dou Changzai's evil deeds, the imperial physician also went to give Chen Xu a careful diagnosis and treatment, and prescribed some medicinal materials for internal and external use.

Chen promised with a smile, "Yesterday the imperial doctor said that I have been poisoned for a long time, and I need to remove it slowly. It will take a year or two."

Knowing that she was framed, she did not feel resentful, and her mind was still peaceful.This made Wei Rong very impressed.

"It's a pity." Song Qing'er sighed, Chen Xu's appearance was very good, but his skin was rough and dark and yellow, which greatly lowered his image.

While several people were talking, Xi Concubine arrived.

After experiencing Dou Changzai's incident, she didn't sleep well for several days, and there was a thin layer of bruise under her eyes.On this 30-year-old face, it doesn't look haggard, but has a different kind of melancholy style.

Wei Rong blinked her eyes, took advantage of the time to salute, and took a closer look.

Probably because of Xi Concubine's soft and beautiful temperament, like a freshly bloomed flower, her whole person exuded a youthful and fresh atmosphere.

Wei Rong suddenly remembered what Song Qing'er said in the last chat, Xi Concubine took good care of her skin and her skin glowed.

In the past, she didn't pay much attention to other people's looks, but now that she observed carefully, Xi Concubine's looks seemed to have really become more beautiful, as if time had flown back on her body.Especially her skin is extraordinarily moist and fair, like a [-]-year-old girl.

Wei Rong looked at it twice, and quickly looked away.

Concubine Xi ordered everyone to sit flat, and then their eyes fell on Wei Rong.

"How is Wei Chang's condition today?"

"Thank you, Hong Fu, I've lost my fever."

"That's good, but how about the scar on your face?"

Wei Rong touched the red marks on his face, and said with a smile: "The imperial doctor has also seen it, and said that these toxins need to be removed slowly. After the poison is cured in the body, the redness and swelling will naturally subside."

"That's good. If your little face is so bad, the emperor will probably blame me for improperly governing the palace." Concubine Xi smiled gently.

Against the backdrop of the morning light, her skin as white as jade looks even more feminine like a celestial maiden.

After saying a few words, Xi Concubine picked up the teacup.Everyone got up and left.

Nanny Zhou helped Xi Concubine back to the back bedroom.

"Your Majesty..." Nanny Zhou hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter? Are you worried that Wei Chang is seeing something?" Xi Concubine asked casually.

Nanny Zhou laughed along, "There's no need to worry about this. She comes from a small family, so what insight can she have?"

Besides, it doesn't matter even if you see through it, a little Chang is here, Han female background, without evidence, dare to stand up to the imposing concubine of the Hershey family?

"It's just that this servant thinks that it's better to keep these people for use." While speaking, Nanny Zhou secretly looked at Xi Concubine's expression.

Concubine Xi snorted coldly, "My palace is about to return to favor, so how can I use these enchanting things."

Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at the charming face reflected in the bronze mirror, Xi Concubine's eyes were full of smiles.

It has been many years since she sat in front of the dressing table and dressed herself so happily.Thanks to the fairy water found by my mother's family, after using it, my skin glows like a young girl.

A white ivory comb slid over the long hair like splashed ink, and Nanny Zhou was brushing Xi Concubine's hair while deliberating over her words.

"Although those people are lowly, they are also useful occasionally."

Concubine Xi did it without telling her about poisoning Wei Rong's decoction before, and she was shocked when she found out.

Madam Zhou was secretly worried about Xi Concubine's thoughts.

Don't you see that the concubine De concubine is still in love with her, and she has promoted a nobleman by her side.Now that Concubine Xi has not regained her favor, she has started to punish Wei Rong and the others. How can things be done in such a hurry.

What's more, she was favored in the past few years, but she didn't give birth to a child. Even if she can regain the favor smoothly now, she may not be able to have a child. Without children, the favor gained by looks is illusory after all.

It's just that he didn't dare to say these words in front of Xi Concubine.

Xi Concubine didn't have the heart to understand this, now she was full of eyes, only her own delicate face.

Touching her cheek, she said with a smile, "Today is just right. With this incident, I should go to ask the emperor for my sin."

***

That night, the news came that the emperor had flipped Xi Concubine's sign.

The Changchun Palace was a sensation from top to bottom.

Wei Rong felt nothing in his heart, and even wanted to laugh.

Thinking back to the face I saw during the day, plus the fact that Xi Concubine went to plead guilty today, it is almost certain that he will be favored again.

The next day, Xi Concubine returned with a happy face.

Everyone went to pay their respects, and she waited for more than half an hour before Shi Shiran came out.

Her appearance is more delicate than what she saw yesterday, her skin is as crystal clear and moist as a girl's, and she has a more mature and charming style.

Liu promised couldn't wait to compliment her, "Your Majesty is as radiant as a celestial being, she is the best among the six palaces, no wonder the emperor values ​​it."

However, Concubine Xi didn't accept it, and said with a straight face: "The emperor is not a person of color, if you want to win the favor of the emperor, you still need to be virtuous."

Liu promised to flatter and patted the horse's leg, and retreated embarrassingly.

After paying their respects, everyone withdrew one after another.

On the way back, Song Qing'er had a dreamy expression on her face, "Miss Xi, it's really getting better and better, I don't know how to take care of it."

Wei Rong also wondered in her heart, if she hadn't confirmed that she was in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, she would have suspected that Concubine Xi went to Bangzi Kingdom for medical treatment.

However, Xi Concubine's return to favor confirmed her previous suspicions.

The damage to his own face is probably not only caused by Dou Changzai.

***

Xi concubine's favor is stronger than expected by everyone in the harem.

On the second day, Kangxi visited the Changchun Palace in person.

This time, Nanny Zhou and the others did not urge Wei Rong and the others to come forward to serve, but also specially sent someone over to warn them not to move around after dark, so as not to disturb Shengjia.

Naturally, Wei Rong would not touch the mold.As soon as the sun went down, he ordered Yufu to close the gate.

It's a pity that the gate is not closed yet, Li Dongsheng hurried over, "Wei Chang is here, the emperor summoned you to go over."

Wei Rong was speechless, did Kangxi do it on purpose or unintentionally?Don't know if this is slapping Xi Concubine in the face?

After thinking about it carefully, it is probably because someone is used to arrogance. Stallion men often have the illusion that their harem is full of harmony and harmony like a family, ha ha.

When the top leader spoke, she, a low-level employee, could only face the difficulties.

She quickly changed into an orange-pink flag dress embroidered with lily patterns, combed her simple curly hair, and wore a pearl flower made of pink crystals, and went to the main hall casually and without being rude.

Before entering the gate of the main hall, I saw more than a dozen young eunuchs holding a lot of things in the corridor. At a glance, in addition to common items such as brocade and gold beads, there were pots of red coral ornaments, agarwood sculptures and other objects. This time, Concubine Xi really won the joy of Kangxi.

But the most eye-catching gift among the gifts was the golden birdcage, inside which was a parrot with gorgeous feathers, jumping around mischievously, seeing Wei Rong, he even opened his mouth and squawked, "The beauty is here, the beauty is here. "

Wei Rong was so teased that she laughed, stopped and took a look, and then reluctantly entered the hall.
