The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 461 Trap
Yanhua didn't know what kind of bloody storm was brewing behind this seemingly peaceful and simple Hundred Flowers Feast.Years later, when she recalled the past at that time, she wished to crush all her pity and compassion under her feet.

That day in Japan was sunny and warm, and Concubine Qi put a lot of thought into the Hundred Flowers Banquet. The banquet was placed in the center of the colorful flowers. No matter whether everyone was drinking, drinking tea, or talking and laughing happily, there was a scent of flowers lingering in their nostrils, which was very pleasant. .

Yanhua's drinking capacity is light, and her wine taste is a bit bad, so when Concubine Yu is drinking, she puts her wine glass aside and drinks tea quietly.When she was toasting to the imperial concubine or concubine Qi, she only pecked a little bit.

After three rounds of tea, she felt a little anxious and hurriedly left the table to show her respect.

On the way back, she saw a court lady talking to Shao Yao.After seeing Yan Hua, Shao Yao leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words, then Yan Hua's expression was a bit surprised: "Really? Did you really find it? He's not dead?"

Shao Yao said that a father-in-law went to Jingren Palace secretly just now, and said that it was Wei Wei who sent a message to Concubine Xi.The people in Jingren Palace certainly didn't let him in, but he secretly told Qian Gui that the person whom Concubine Xi asked Wei's guards to help find has been found and is waiting outside the palace gate, saying that he wants to see Concubine Xi immediately Empress.

After hearing this, Yanhua felt a little strange.With Wei Changan's cautious temperament, even if he helps find someone, he will not reveal to that person that she is looking for him, so how does that person know that it is Concubine Xi in the palace who is looking for him?Is that person really alive?He had disappeared without a trace before, so why did he appear today?

"You tell Qian Gui not to act rashly, he should know that father-in-law, tell him to remember his name well, and I will ask him in detail after I go back..." While she was speaking, she saw the imperial concubine master and servant coming towards her, The noble concubine's gaze fell on her face vaguely, her somewhat pale face was full of resentment.

resentment?Yanhua turned her head in doubt to greet her, and the noble concubine also gave her a gentle smile, completely missing the feeling just now.

No, there must be something she doesn't know.Yanhua beat a small drum in her heart, and she and Shaoyao hurried back to the banquet.

The maids who brought melons and fruits came one after another, and the melons and fruit snacks on the seats were never empty.Not long after Yanhua returned to the table, the noble concubine returned with her master and servant.

Yanhua secretly asked Concubine Yu next to her if something unusual happened, Concubine Yu shook her head: "During the time my sister was away from the banquet, Concubine Qi just toasted everyone just like before, but I think she seems I whispered a few words to the imperial concubine. After a while, the imperial concubine left the table."

What Concubine Yu didn't hear was that Concubine Qi whispered in Concubine Gui's ear: "Concubine Concubine, the show is about to begin. If Concubine Concubine doesn't believe it, you can go and see for yourself if Concubine Xi is plotting something with someone right now. "

Then Concubine Nian saw Yanhua and Shaoyao were talking, and a young maid from Jingren Palace was leaving in a hurry, heading towards Jingren Palace.Are you plotting something?What kind of shady matter did you want to deliberately leave the table to give orders?
She remembered what Concubine Qi had said to her, even though she knew that Concubine Qi had no good intentions, she still couldn't help but feel dizzy with hatred.

After a feast of flowers, Yanhua hid her worries and didn't know what to eat, while the imperial concubine got sick and left the banquet halfway, and before she left, she gouged out Yanhua's eyes resentfully.When Yanhua looked back belatedly, the noble concubine had left only a frail figure for her.

Everything seems to be calm, but Yanhua always feels that something is wrong.

When she went back to Jingren Palace and asked carefully, she found out that the father-in-law had a serious face, and Qian Gui didn't know the eunuch, maybe he was new to the palace.Qian Gui originally wanted to wait for Yanhua to come back before reporting this matter to her, but when he heard the father-in-law say that he was waiting outside the palace gate, Qian Gui was worried that there would be a delay, so he sent the little maid to report.

He didn't know that it was a very reasonable thing to find someone to ask Concubine Xi about difficult matters, but in the end he fell into Concubine Qi's trap at every step.

After Yanhua went back, she felt that something was wrong, and asked Qian Gui to try to meet Wei Changan, and asked him personally if he really found someone.But Wei Chang'an is now the imperial guard, so he doesn't mean to leave the guard as he says.It was not until two days later that Wei Changan found an opportunity to talk to Qian Gui. When Qian Gui heard that Brother Ziyan was dead, he knew something was wrong. Then he heard from Wei Changan that he never sent anyone to Jingren Palace. , Qian Gui's complexion became even worse.

He only briefly explained the matter to Wei Chang'an, and hurried to Jingren Palace.

On the way, he happened to meet the imperial concubine returning to Yikun Palace. He wanted to take a detour, but he didn't want to be seen anyway.The noble concubine called him to her, and casually asked a few words about how Concubine Xi was doing well, after hearing Qian Gui say that Concubine Xi was well, her face turned gloomy.

"Just right, the eunuch who was carrying the sedan chair sprained his ankle and walked unsteadily. I was thrown into a panic by him. You can take his place and carry me back."

"Imperial concubine, my slave...obey!" Qian Gui knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head. He refused to speak out. You must know that this is the only noble concubine in the palace this time. If he disobeys the noble concubine , can die in the blink of an eye.

Qian Gui is smooth and sophisticated, and he is doing well in the palace, and it has been a long time since he has done such lowly things as carrying a sedan chair.So when the weighty pole was on his shoulders, he almost lost his footing.Fortunately, it was a sedan chair carried by four people. He only took a small step to stabilize his figure, but he was still scolded by Ran Er:
"What do you do if Jingren Palace doesn't give you food? If you fall off the imperial concubine or empress, be careful of your dog's life!"

Qian Gui had no choice but to keep a smile on his face, not daring to refute.

After sending the imperial concubine back to Yikun Palace, he accidentally saw a face-to-face father-in-law. It was the face-to-face father-in-law who ran to Jingren Palace to inform him of the news on the sixth day of March. He remembered it very clearly!But after the father-in-law saw him, he quickly left Yikun Palace and ran away.After Qian Gui inquired carefully, he found out that the father-in-law was from Chengqian Palace, and today he was sent by Concubine Qi to deliver something.

Qian Gui was surprised in his heart, but still kept his expression on his face, and concentrated on obeying the imperial concubine's orders.Even so, he accidentally broke a vase in Yikun Palace after working hard all afternoon.

So, he was dragged by people from the Punishment Department to beat dozens of boards, and when he was sent back to Jingren Palace, the sun was almost setting, and he was too bruised and unable to walk.

No one in Jingren Palace expected that Qian Gui would be beaten like this. Because Yanhua sent him to find Wei Changan, she didn't think it was strange that she didn't see him all afternoon. Bai, the pain was so painful that his forehead was sweating, and the anger in his heart surged upwards.

"What is she doing against me? It's really inexplicable!"

"Your Majesty...slave...I saw that father-in-law a few days ago...it's...he's from Chengqian Palace..." Enduring the severe pain, Qian Gui couldn't stand still, so he had to lie on another small The eunuch spoke to her on his back.

Yikun Palace, Chengqian Palace, the face of the eunuch, the face of the noble concubine... There were many threads in her heart, and something was about to come out.But that silk Qingming died down at the last moment, so she had to ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine for Qian Gui's wound. As for the matter of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she really had to think about it.The Hundred Flowers Banquet, hehe, unexpectedly it was really a Hongmen Banquet.

Next, it became more and more obvious that Yikun Palace and Jingren Palace were fighting against each other everywhere.It was only now that Yanhua knew that the Concubine Nian had never really opposed her in the past. When she was in the mansion, her maids at most only invited Yinzhen away from her, but now...

However, anyone who served in Jingren Palace, whether it was a court lady or an eunuch, would feel embarrassing if they were encountered by a noble concubine, ranging from scolding a few words to being bruised like money.So that later, everyone in Jingren Palace was in danger and did not dare to go out at will.

This situation lasted for several days, because Shaoyao never asked the people below to mention it to Yanhua, so Yanhua didn't know it at first, until she found that the people in Jingren Palace were not looking well, and she asked about the consonance. Know why.There is a saying that is tolerable and unbearable, how could Yanhua tolerate her own people being bullied like this, and she is still inexplicably bullied like this!
She had guessed early on that this incident was related to Concubine Qi's provocation, so she asked someone to find Song Changzai.Ever since she told Yikun Palace that Song Changzai might have caused the imperial concubine to have a miscarriage, Yikun Palace did not welcome Song Changzai very much.So Song Changzai ran to Chengqian Palace tirelessly, so Song Changzai would definitely know what Concubine Qi was up to and how she provoked Yikun Palace.

However, Song Changzai was determined this time, and he refused to reveal even the slightest bit of rumors, shaking his head and saying that he didn't know.

Seeing that she was unwilling to be sincere to her, Yanhua knew that it was useless to keep her, and these days she was thinking of a perfect plan to make Song Changzai disappear completely.One must know that mixing poisonous scorpions and poisonous snakes will sooner or later turn them into highly poisonous things. Now that she and the noble concubine are being provoked by Concubine Qi, I'm afraid it was the conspiracy of these two people!

But the most urgent task right now is to get the people in Yikun Palace to restrain themselves, if not, how will she arrange things in the future, will they all hide in Jingren Palace and act like cowards?
However, she has always been a calm person, although she hated Concubine Nian for making things difficult for her in her heart, but now that Nian's family is gaining power, she will confront Concubine Nian head-on, even if the Emperor protects her again, I'm afraid she will still suffer, The most important thing is that doing so will embarrass the emperor.

Therefore, what can be done now is to let the queen coordinate it first.Concubine Nian seldom went to Yongshou Palace to pay her respects because of her frail body, so Yanhua stayed in the Queen's Palace after paying her respects the next day, wanting to talk to her about how to solve this urgent need.
