The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 469
Yanhua was carried back to Jingren Palace by the sedan chair, and after getting off the sedan chair, she was helped in by two maids.

Lingxi saw that she looked tired, but her complexion was very rosy, and she couldn't help muttering: "When did your empress become so weak, you will be so tired after strolling around the imperial garden."

"You're the only one with the courage." Yanhua rolled her eyes without explaining.

Shaoyao kindly whispered a few words to her, she smiled ambiguously after listening, and Yanhua rolled her eyes when she winked.

"What's the matter with Mr. Wu nobleman? Why did you get poisoned?" Yanhua lay down on the couch and asked lazily, this Mr. Wu nobleman has really had a lot of things lately.But Wu Guiren has always been simple-minded, and he will not pose a threat to anyone, will he?Who wants her life over and over again?And he did it so sloppily... Well, it may be that Mr. Wu Gui is really lucky. He survived after being hit on the head by a stone after falling off the rockery last time.

"The imperial doctor said that the nobleman seemed to have eaten something that caused her to be poisoned. Fortunately, she drank a lot of water after returning, so when she vomited, she vomited out a lot of poison."

Yanhua shook her head dumbfoundingly: "She is really lucky. But she ate it with us, how come we are not poisoned, but she is the only one?"

"Madam, during the meal, nobleman Wu ate a lot of crabs, but is there something wrong with that crab?" Shao Yao also pondered for a while, she remembered that the imperial concubine didn't eat crabs because of her cold body, and when she saw nobleman Wu Like to eat it, Xi'er specially asked Xi'er to bring the crab over to the nobleman Wu to eat.But everyone else ate crabs, even the emperor, no one said there was something wrong with the crabs.

Yan Hua couldn't figure it out, she shook her head to express her ignorance.

After Lingxi heard the news that Wu Guiren was poisoned, he brought some nourishment to visit, which was also taught by Shaoyao.After all, she is a member of Jingren Palace, and in the eyes of outsiders, her words and deeds represent the meaning of Jingren Palace, even if she doesn't like Mrs. Wu, she still has to show her dignity for the face of Concubine Xi.

It wasn't a big deal at first, because no one had an accident except Wu Guiren, maybe it was impossible for her to eat badly by herself.As for the story of almost dying, it was also said by Master Wu's master and servant that he grew up. According to the imperial doctor, at most he was paralyzed on the bed, but his life was still safe.

The next day, after the imperial dining room was told that there was something wrong with the meals they cooked, the imperial dining room was quite nervous.Of course, they first denied that there was a problem with the diet, the reason was the same as others thought, the food was cooked together, so many people ate it without any problem, how could there be a problem with the food alone?

But inside the Imperial Dining Room, a thorough investigation into the matter was started in private.After all, they are responsible for the meals of the masters in the palace, and they can't be sloppy at all. If something goes wrong, it's a small matter to lose their heads, and it's a sin for the family to suffer along with it.So, after their thorough investigation, they found some strange things in the imperial dining room.

It's an ordinary handkerchief with a few clouds embroidered on it, the material is average, and the female red is also average, it doesn't look like something in the palace.The imperial dining rooms were checked one by one. There were many palace people working in the imperial dining rooms, so it was troublesome to check, but after asking many times, no one recognized the veil.

This matter is neither big nor small.If it was really the veil thrown by the person in the imperial dining room, there is no need to rush for it, at most the person refused to admit it for some reason, but if it was not theirs, it means that someone else has entered the imperial dining room, This matter can be big or small.

In order to ensure the food safety of the emperor and his ladies, no one else is allowed in the imperial dining room.When passing meals, the imperial dining room would set up a tray and hand it out to the person who delivered the meal. In short, there was a set of procedures and rules. Under normal circumstances, others were not allowed to touch those meals.

The meal outside the imperial dining room is guaranteed not to be safe, but if someone sneaks into the imperial dining room, this matter will be serious.One reason is that their imperial dining room is not well supervised, allowing outsiders to sneak in. Second, if it is reported that the poisoning of Wu nobles may be deliberately done, I am afraid that their imperial dining room will be in bad luck.

Therefore, the ministers in charge of the affairs of the imperial dining room thought it was better not to report this matter to the emperor and queen, and wait for them to investigate the matter clearly by themselves.

However, there are many people in the imperial dining room, and not everyone can keep their mouths shut.Those who knew the ins and outs of the matter were the dozen or so people who managed the affairs, and the people below only knew whether they knew the veil when they were questioned.As for what the veil is for, they don't know.

Talking is the most taboo in the palace, so even if they don't know the usefulness of the veil, they were ordered not to chew their tongues, so they really didn't talk about it.After all, in their minds, what big waves can a veil cause?Maybe it was the father-in-law and the maid who ate each other, and the handkerchief was the token of love?If this kind of matter is brought to the surface and pursued, it may lose its head, so no one dares to talk about it, everyone knows it well.

Qian Gui, the eunuch of Jingren Palace, has served in the palace for more than ten years, and he is tactful, so he knows all these things well.There are also quite a few eunuchs and maids who are friends with him, so within a few days he heard about the Pazi and told Concubine Xi about it.

Coincidentally, Concubine Yu was there at the time, and after hearing Qian Gui describe the veil, she looked at Xianyun next to her suspiciously: "This veil sounds like you embroidered it."

Since Xianyun has the word cloud in her name, she always likes to embroider a few clouds on the handkerchiefs she embroiders for herself.

Xianyun was very puzzled: "But the servant has never been in the imperial dining room."

"Girls, forgive me, I think... Is there a father-in-law who has taken a fancy to Miss Xianyun? Maybe one day Miss Xianyun accidentally lost a handkerchief and was picked up by that father-in-law..." Qian Gui Naturally, thinking of talking to Shiyi, he hesitated to say it. He said it in a vague way, but everyone still understood it.

"Bah, bah, bah! Your Majesty, slaves won't be with those pickled goods..." Xianyun opened her mouth to scold, but when she saw Qian Gui's face changed because of these three words, she quickly changed her mouth and said, "Slaves will I won’t mess with them, money is expensive, don’t talk nonsense!”

Qian Gui quickly recovered his face, and twitched his mouth lightly with a flattering smile: "It's my servant's stupid mouth, Miss Xianyun, don't be angry. Miss Xianyun can think about it, have you ever given a handkerchief to someone else?"

After Qian Gui reminded her, Xianyun suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty, the handkerchiefs of slaves are never delivered, but last year, when I went to Yikun Palace, my servants saw Xi'er crying, so I gave her a handkerchief." Wipe your tears, could it be..."

The more she thought about it, the more likely it was that there were only a few veils embroidered with clouds, because it was too much to show the owner of the veil, and she was afraid of being used for evil, so she didn't embroider any more.When wiping Xi'er's tears that day, she forgot to check whether the veil was embroidered with clouds, but now it seems that it must be the right one.Could it be that Xi'er wanted to harm her?She shouldn't, she never offended Yikun Palace, let alone Xi'er.It is very likely that Xi'er accidentally left the handkerchief there after sneaking into the imperial dining room.

"Xi'er?" Yanhua fell into deep thought after hearing this.Xi'er is a member of Yikun Palace. So, Wu Guiren offended Yikun Palace so that disasters happen again and again?However, Xi'er is such a kind little girl, how dare she sneak into the imperial dining room like this?

"Sister, I'd rather believe it or not. I think there is something wrong with Yikun Palace recently. We'd better take precautions." That's why, after all, nobleman Wu ate up the plate of crabs from the imperial concubine at that time. Even if the crabs of others were fine, the plate of crabs might have been tampered with.

Dare to play tricks in front of the emperor, really lawless.

But having said that, the current Yikun Palace does have that confidence, you must know that Mr. Nian is very prosperous now, and even the emperor keeps rewarding good things in the past.Two days ago, the fresh lychees from Guangdong arrived. The emperor ate them deliciously, so he ordered people to pick fresh lychees from Guangdong and send them to Xining immediately, so that Mr. Nian could taste them.

Can get such a favored minister, looking around now, who else can there be besides Nian Gengyao?

Yan Hua nodded, she was leaning lazily on the kang, but now she sat up slowly: "Qian Gui, is there any movement in Leng Gong?"

She had mentioned to the empress once before that it was inappropriate to treat the Zhongcui Palace as a cold palace, not to mention the recklessness, since it was too close to the Imperial Garden, it would inevitably disturb the interest of those who visited the Imperial Garden.The queen was right when she thought about it, before all the wives came to enjoy the flowers, she found another remote house and sent Song's master and servant there.

Hearing Concubine Xi's question, Qian Gui hurriedly bowed his waist and lowered his eyebrows, and said, "Your Majesty, there are wailing noises inside every day, and the food sent here is left over from the palaces. I heard that sometimes it is still sour Yes. The servant heard from the father-in-law at the door that the people locked inside tried to seduce the father-in-laws in exchange for a few good meals...but the father-in-laws didn't dare to pay them any attention..."

"Oh...absurd!" Yanhua and Yupin couldn't help but sneered, the matter of seducing eunuchs was really possibly done by the Song family, not necessarily those eunuchs' nonsense.This person, shameless and skinless to such a level, is really ridiculous.

"Let's go, take me to have a look. At this point, she should be willing to tell me something, right?" Yanhua sneered twice, feeling that the Song family is really hopeless.It's only been more than a month, and she couldn't stand it anymore, she really has a skittish temper.

"Your Majesty, it's filthy there. When you get there, your Majesty can only ask questions outside, and don't go in." Qian Gui hurriedly led the way.

Only when Yan Hua arrived at the place did she know what Qian Gui meant by the filth. The place is not only filthy, it is uninhabitable!Because it is close to the clean room, there are people handling bedpans and buckets all day long, and there is a stench coming from time to time, which is really disgusting to smell.

When Yan Hua and Yu Pin covered their noses with handkerchiefs and went in, Xiang Tan and Song Shi were wrestling into a ball.
