Dressed as Su Peisheng

The first year of Yongzheng

On the second day of May, Yanxi Palace

Xu'er trotted all the way into Concubine Ning's bedroom.

Shi Yue was waiting helplessly, when she saw someone coming in, she rushed forward to meet him, "How's it going? Did you hear about it?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the maidservant has asked," Xu'er supported Shiyue's arm and let her sit on the soft couch.

"Eunuch Su's injury is not a problem. The imperial doctor also went to see him. He took the medicine and is now taking care of him."

"Did the doctor go to see it?"

Shiyue frowned slightly, "Don't lie to me. It is rumored that the emperor ordered the beating, and everyone is bloody, and now they are waiting to die in the empty yard."

"It's not that scary," Xu'er laughed. "When the slaves passed by, the front and back of Eunuch Su's yard were tightly closed, and the people who entered and exited did not reveal anything. Originally, the slaves could not inquire about anything. But it just so happened that the servants met Eunuch Li Ying."

"Did Xiaoyingzi tell you?" Shiyue finally had some light in her eyes.

"Yes, Eunuch Li Ying pulled the servant aside and asked the servant to tell the empress to rest assured. Eunuch Su's injury was not serious, and he didn't really get [-] boards. He only carried it back halfway through the beating. The imperial physician secretly I went to see it, and all the medicines I used were the best. Although the person in charge of the Punishment Department is a fool, the young eunuch who executed the execution did not use cruel hands, and all wounds were flesh and blood. It will heal within ten and a half months."

"That's okay, that's okay..."

Shiyue rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, her heart was still hanging in the air, "Now, we have to see what happens in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"The emperor just issued a decree to punish, after all, Mr. Su offended the imperial concubine and empress."

Xu'er poured a bowl of tea for Shiyue, and put it lightly in her hand, "It's fine as it is now, no one can find out why. Otherwise, if it's really going to make trouble in the court, Concubine Nian's elder brother just made meritorious deeds." Great hero."

"Yeah, I understand that you have to do enough to save face." Shiyue lowered her head and held the tea bowl in her hands, "But after all, how much pain did he get after being beaten, more than [-] boards? What did he do? I can bear it..."

Xu'er pursed her lips, smartly did not answer her master's words, and instead said, "Eunuch Su is also weird this time. When we were in the hidden mansion, Eunuch Su also had conflicts with those in the backyard, but he was always thoughtful. Be polite, and no one can find out if there is a mistake. It is never like this time. In the Royal Garden, in front of so many people, I was stunned. I heard that it was in the Yikun Palace, facing the Long Live At that time, Eunuch Su didn't say a soft word."

"He's probably sad..." Shiyue frowned even more, turned her hand around the rim of the bowl, and sighed deeply.

Gyeongin Palace

The lamps were already lit outside, but Empress Xi welcomed guests here.

"Elder Concubine Qi seldom comes to my place." The maids served tea and fruits in the hall, and all retreated one by one.

"It's too busy today. I want to talk to someone, so I came to my sister's palace after walking."

Concubine Qi was not too polite, she sat down opposite Concubine Xi, picked up the plums and ate them.

"I wanted to go to Yikun Palace to see the imperial concubine, but when I got to the door, I was blocked back."

"I think so," Concubine Xi smiled, "My younger sister also sent someone to ask, and she said that the imperial concubine needs to rest and see no one."

Concubine Qi sneered, picked up the tea bowl and blew gently, "It's pretending, but I don't necessarily feel very comfortable now. The emperor even punished Eunuch Su for her sake, a total of fifty boards."

Concubine Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, "It was Eunuch Su who offended the noble concubine, and he should be punished. How can you feel comfortable when someone humiliated you on the spot?"

"Sister, why do you have to cover up like this?" Concubine Qi raised her head, "Nianshi relied on her family status, and she was made a noble concubine without children, and everyone in the palace flattered her. Seeing that, even the people in front of the imperial court couldn't tolerate her." I don't know if that brother of hers will make any great contribution and come back, there is no room for our sisters in the harem."

"Sister, I'm worrying too much." Concubine Xi lowered her eyes slightly, her voice softened a lot, "Didn't my sister also say that she has no children..."

Coming out of Yikun Palace, Xi'er supported Concubine Qi, feeling a little puzzled, "Why do you have to talk so much to Concubine Xi? This servant sees that Concubine Xi doesn't take it seriously."

Concubine Qi snorted coldly, her eyebrows raised, "I don't think it's serious, I'm thinking about it in my heart. Nian is childless now, but Su Peisheng, if you really want to... hmph, you can say it in the future." No more."

Xi'er didn't quite understand, Concubine Qi glanced at her and laughed again, "Anyway, whoever has a son should be in a hurry. Regardless of what's going on ahead, I can see a joke."

Gyeongin Palace

Mu Lan came to take care of Concubine Xi to wash up, and while removing her make-up for Concubine Xi, she asked, "What is the purpose of your visit, Concubine Qi? She even said some irrelevant things."

Concubine Xi raised the corners of her mouth, "What else can I do to tell Ben Gong that I should prevent the noble concubine from being favored and get a child."

"Concubine Qi is too lenient." Mu Lan frowned, "Our brothers are only so old."

Concubine Xi laughed, "I'm afraid the harem really has something to worry about, but it's not my palace."

Mulan rolled her eyes, but said nothing.

"Speaking of which, when they were in the mansion, both of them were side Fujin," Concubine Xi took off her earrings, and looked at herself in the mirror, "Concubine Qi entered the mansion early, and gave birth to a daughter for the emperor. , So far nothing has come out. However, he has an elder brother who can make military exploits. The emperor relied on him in every possible way, so he directly made a noble concubine. If I were to be a Qi concubine, I am afraid that I would not be able to swallow this breath."

"No wonder Concubine Qi is jumping up and down like this," Mu Lan laughed, and Concubine Xi also laughed.

Cheng Qiangong

Nanny Xie was sent to the palace by the empress's natal family. She served in the palace when she was the first emperor. Not long after she entered the palace, she took over Shilong's errand and kept Chengqian Palace in good order.

It was late at night outside, the queen sat on the bed after washing up, but Madam Xie came in and replaced the maid on duty.

"But there is movement in front?" the queen asked.

"Not yet," Xie Momo helped the queen spread out the quilt, "who would dare to ask the imperial physician for the board to be rewarded by the emperor's orders? It would be good to be able to steal some medicine."

The queen's eyes moved slightly, and she went to bed and leaned on the pillow, "It's better to ask people carefully, the people around Su Peisheng. Their mouths are always tight."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this." Xie Momo stood by the bed with her hands tied, her body slightly arched. "My Majesty should worry about the one from Yikun Palace."

The queen frowned, and Xie Momo said again, "Now, seeing that Concubine Nian is favored, Concubine Nian's natal family is also in full swing in the previous dynasty. If one day, Concubine Nian really wins the prince, the Nian clan will definitely support it with all its strength. At that time, even if our elder brother is old, it is inevitable that we will be trembling in the future."

"However, there is no movement from the Nian family yet." The queen said hesitantly, "You don't know the emperor, he has always, never liked to come to the harem... Now the emperor's funeral has not passed, and the records of the respect room have not been recorded. Kaifeng. It’s too early to think about this.”

"Your Majesty, it's better to pre-empt the strike than fix it after a dead sheep," Xie Xie lowered her voice to the lowest possible level, "If there is, it will be extremely difficult to do it."

The queen was startled, and looked up at Nanny Xie.

Xie Momo frowned, then bent over again, "The servant has served in the palace since he was a child. In the early years of the late Emperor, none of the children could be kept. What do you think it is for?"

The queen pinched her palm, her chest heaving slightly, "Wait, wait. Maybe, we won't be needed..."

Yikun Palace

When the imperial concubine woke up, it was already midnight.

Ling Xi worshiped the sky and the earth, seeing that his master was in good spirits, he finally felt relieved.

Caixi is impatient, taking advantage of the concubine's time to take the medicine, she told all about today's events.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry now. That Su Peisheng was beaten horribly. It is said that his pants are soaked in blood. Now he has only one breath left."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" The imperial concubine asked quietly.

Cai Xi froze for a moment, but was stabbed in the back by Ling Xi.

"Go and ask the waiter to cook some porridge, the lady is still hungry."

"Oh," Caixi replied, and went out aggrieved.

Ling Xi took away the medicine bowl, and supported the noble concubine to lean on the bed, "Although Cai Xi's exaggeration was a bit exaggerated, I have asked people to inquire carefully. Su Peisheng was really beaten. He came out of the Punishment Department. They were carried back to the courtyard. The slaves were also watched at the door, and no imperial physician has entered the palace yet."

The imperial concubine sighed lightly, her eyes fixed a little, "Even so, is the emperor doing it for my face or for the Nian family's face?"

"Your Majesty, why do you think about this?" Ling Xi held the concubine's hand, "It's different now, our lord is now the emperor. The second master has made great achievements, and the family has a prosperous year. This is also your honor."

"Glory? I don't know how many dangers are hidden behind the glory..."

The noble concubine lowered her eyes and pressed her fingers, "I only hope that the family members are safe, and that the emperor can really trust the second brother, and that the second brother can also live up to the grace..."

"Ling Xi!"

The imperial concubine suddenly turned her head and grabbed Ling Xi's hand, "Tell me, has the emperor really changed? He really hit Su Peisheng, but I feel a little scared. Will he become so I don't know him anymore? Yes. Won't it become more and more cold and ruthless?"

"Your Majesty, how can you say such a thing? Your Majesty is the one who values ​​you the most in the harem now. You must take good care of yourself. The good days of our family are still to come."

Ling Xi patted Nian's back reassuringly, but Nian felt inexplicably cold.

midnight

Xiaoyingzi was lying on the side of Su Wei's bed, and when she was in a drowsy sleep, she suddenly heard a sound behind her.

Sitting up abruptly, a shadow enveloped him.

"Shh-"

"Long live?"

Master Yongzheng, who was wearing a cloak, carefully sat down beside the bed.

Xiaoyingzi looked around and stepped aside.

"Did the imperial doctor give you medicine?"

"Yes," Xiaoyingzi suppressed his voice again and again, "I was afraid that Master would be in pain, so I prescribed a prescription to soothe the nerves. After taking it, Master fell into a deep sleep."

"Yes," Master Yongzheng replied, and carefully lifted the quilt.

Even though the red wound was covered with thin silk, it still hurt people's eyes.

"Did your master say anything after he came back?"

Xiaoyingzi pursed her lips, looked up at Master Yongzheng's back, lowered her head and said, "I didn't say anything. After Master was brought back, he was silent all the time, and didn't even cry out in pain. But, after drinking the calming soup , asked the servant a word."

"What?"

"Master asked the servant, was he wrong? Was it wrong from the very beginning?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The dynamics in the harem are mainly to lay the groundwork for the disputes between the princes of the fourth master in Fanwaili's later years. Besides, I, Xiao Suzi, was finally beaten, so everyone has to react.It will be reconciled soon, don't worry.
