The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 484 Happy Birthday
"Your Majesty, it's... a slave." Qian Gui ran to the window from the dark, and saluted Yan Hua outside.

When Yan Hua heard that it was him, she sighed in frustration, she thought... how could it be him?He had gone hunting in the paddock.

Qian Gui heard from Mu Jin in the afternoon that the emperor handed over the matter to Wei Changan to investigate.So he was busy working around afterwards, trying to find a way to find Wei Wei, so he could find out how the situation was going.

However, he turned around outside the House of Internal Affairs for a long while but failed to see Wei Changan.When it was getting dark, he saw Wei Changan going there in a bodyguard outfit, and stopped him on the way.

Wei Changan recognized him, and asked him to follow him to a hidden side room, before asking him carefully about the cause and effect.After listening to Qian Gui's speech, he pondered thoughtfully for a while.

He said that Physician Pang was absent-minded and looked weird when he was treating the imperial concubine.Under the imperial concubine's questioning, Imperial Physician Pang leaked his words, so the imperial concubine asked people to take Imperial Physician Pang to Yongshou Palace, and then Imperial Physician Pang confessed to Imperial Physician Qin, so the Queen ordered someone to summon Imperial Physician Qin to the palace.The queen asked about the matter, only to find out that it was appalling. She was about to find out and deal with it, but both Concubine Qi and Concubine Gui expressed that the matter should be handed over to the emperor.The queen lost her opinion by what they said, and finally took people to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Then, there are those things behind.

Imperial Physician Pang was not as hard-spoken as Imperial Physician Qin, and he began to lose his mind after torture.It's just that he is old, and he might be overwhelmed by using too much punishment.So Wei Chang'an suggested to torture Imperial Physician Qin and let Imperial Physician Pang watch by.

However, the two imperial physicians were really stubborn and tortured for five consecutive days, wailing to the point of infiltration, but Qin imperial physician still insisted that it was Concubine Xi who ordered him to do all this.Physician Pang was often frightened and fainted. After waking up, he fainted again before he had time to confess...

It wasn't until dusk fell that Qian Gui listened to Wei Chang'an explain everything in general.The result is that the two imperial physicians are suspicious. Imperial physician Pang is old and his body is not good enough. He is likely to die in the Punishment Department; Wei Changan's words both inside and outside the meaning are towards Concubine Xi.

Wei Chang'an was afraid that something might happen to him if he walked inside the palace at night, so he sent him to the gate of Jingren Palace before turning back to the House of Internal Affairs to continue the interrogation.

Qian Gui didn't expect to be seen by Concubine Xi when he came back, and he didn't dare to express his worries, so after saluting to her, he found a reason to back down: "Your Majesty, please rest earlier, the servant still wants to leave." night watch."

"Do you know when the emperor will come back?"

Qian Gui was stunned for a moment, this was the first time Concubine Xi mentioned the emperor after the accident, he happily squeezed out a smile: "Each time the late emperor hunted, at least ten days and half a month, at most one or two Month. It’s almost winter now, and there aren’t many live animals to hunt in the paddock, so the servant estimates that the emperor will be back in half a month at most.”

"I heard that the emperor brought a promise to go with him?" The night was hazy, Yanhua turned her back to the light, and the expression on her face was hard to discern.

Qian Gui lowered his head and heard her voice sour, he thought she was jealous: "Your Majesty, Su promised to enter the palace, the emperor will inevitably try to make a novelty for a while, and after a long time, the emperor will feel that your empress is better. The servant heard that Su Xu looks like a concubine, so it can be seen that the emperor has always been unable to let go of his concubine. No matter how favored Su Xu is now, he will only replace the concubine for a while. When the emperor knows the truth, he will still..."

The truth, ah, what a slip of the tongue he said, why did he accidentally bring it up.

Fortunately, Concubine Xi didn't ask any further questions, and just handed him an envelope: "This is a small letter written by me. You send it to the Hall of Mental Cultivation tomorrow. If possible, it's best to send it directly to the emperor, so that he can read it in the palace. You don’t have to wait until you return to Beijing to watch.”

"Hey! Cha!" Seeing that Concubine Xi was finally willing to lower her head and explain, Qian Gui grinned happily.

On October [-]th, Qian Gui bought a lot of lanterns outside the palace and came in according to what he had discussed with Lingxi and the others.After all, the matter of Concubine Xi's fake pregnancy has not been found out yet, and now congratulating Concubine Xi's birthday too ostentatiously, I'm afraid it will be offended.

In the afternoon, Concubine Yu came with Xianyun, the eunuch guarding the gate didn't dare to let them in, but Lingxi welcomed them in himself, and the little eunuch couldn't say anything.Pin Yu remembered that today was Yan Hua's birthday, so she came here specially to celebrate her.

She didn't go straight into the main hall, but followed Lingxi to the side hall.

"Young lady, please stay here for a while, if you don't mind, you can live here today..." She murmured about what they planned to celebrate for Yanhua, wanting to surprise Yanhua Have fun for a while.Now it happens that the little princess is also there, and it will be lively and lively at night, making Concubine Xi happy.

"Okay." After hearing this, Concubine Yu smiled softly, and nodded in agreement, "You have a heart, and I am very relieved that my sister will be guarded by you."

Before the night was completely dark, Qian Gui had someone close the door of Jingren Palace, and a group of people hurriedly tied the lanterns in the bamboo forest and tree trunks, and lit them one by one.It is beautiful and bright.

"Er Niang, Er Niang! It's so good outside~ so many lights! Er Niang, come and see!" After Xiaoxiao saw so many lights lit outside, she didn't need Lingxi and the others to arrange, so she took the initiative to run in and La Yanhua came out.

At that time, Yanhua was writing a small letter, and she counted the time, the first letter defending herself had already arrived in Yinzhen's hands, so the second letter should arrive tomorrow, and the third letter I can arrive the day after tomorrow... She wants to write more, and talk to him about all the grievances in her heart.Didn't he say that?He likes to see her through at a glance, and doesn't like her to keep her words in her heart and not tell him.

But Xiaoxiao made a lot of trouble, so Yanhua had no choice but to stop writing and follow her outside.

Before she walked out of the main hall, she noticed a bright hall.Looking around, there are fiery trees and silver flowers on the tree trunks that have lost their leaves, as dazzling as if there are bright stars hanging on them.The lanterns are very ordinary, they were bought by Qiangui and they pooled their money, and they are not worth a lot of money, but so many lanterns of various colors flashing in front of them at the same time, it is not ordinary and beautiful.

When she was dazzled, Yanhua suddenly found that apart from her and Xiaoxiao, there was no one in sight.Just as she was about to look for someone in surprise, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind her.She hurriedly turned her head to look, but saw that the candles in her palace had been extinguished at some point, and the servants in Jingren Palace each held a red candle in their hands, with smiles on their faces, Walking towards her in two rows.One column is eunuchs, and the other column is court ladies.

They walked to the front and back of Concubine Xi, the eunuchs lined up and knelt down to her first, and held up red candles to give her a big gift: "Slaves, I wish your mother good luck like the East Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan!"

Immediately afterwards, they retreated quickly again, and the maids lined up again and made the same salute: "Servants and servants wish the mother a long life, and the pines and cypresses are shoulder-to-shoulder!"

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao followed suit, took the red candle from an eunuch, knelt down and kowtowed to Yanhua: "Xiaoxiao wishes my mother...uh, always happy, always beautiful! And... forever no trouble!"

Yanhua's heart warmed up, and the grievances of the past few days suddenly disappeared.She has this group of heart-warming people to accompany her, so why bother, even if the emperor neglects her in the future, she still has them, doesn't she?
While she was moved, Concubine Yu walked over with a plate of longevity noodles in her hands: "Sister, today is your birthday, you should smile more. Smile, let your mother-in-law smile more. "

"Sister... when did you come here?" Yan Hua wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and hurriedly followed Yu Bin's eyes to eat longevity noodles.Then Lingxi brought a lot of birthday peaches, and everyone distributed one, so everyone celebrated Yanhua's birthday one by one.That night, the Jingren Palace was full of joy and laughter, very lively.

Yan Hua's grievance and sadness were healed by these heart-warming eunuchs and maids, and the smiles on her face became more and more day by day.

I don't know if the emperor has read the small letter she sent out, and he hasn't replied a single word so far.But she was not discouraged, and wrote every day, expressing everything in her heart thoroughly.After holding hands for 21 years, she didn't believe that her sincerity would be ruined by such a trick, and she also didn't believe that the emperor's eyes that knew everything could not see clearly this layer of fog.

Day and night passed quickly, Yanhua did not leave the palace all day long, and had no idea what was going on outside.But Qian Gui always went out to find Wei Changan for news, so he couldn't avoid hearing those gossips. When he was angry, he really wanted to go up and slap those people twice, but for the sake of Jingren Palace's reputation, he endured it.

The promises of the newcomers to the palace were not easy to save, and they were the ones who chatted the most.They wandered around the imperial garden all day long, and when they met acquaintances, they chatted about when Concubine Xi was going to enter the cold palace.After Mu Jin heard about these things, she arranged for a few old nuns to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk when they had time, and when they met broken-mouthed promises, they would reprimand them and teach them the rules again.

Those old nuns are all human beings, who should bully and who should please, they are all clear about each other.Mu Jin is no different from ordinary maids, her words are the same as those of the empress, so no one of them takes it lightly.Within two days, the imperial garden became quiet.

On November [-]th, Yinzhen hadn't returned yet, but suddenly there was bad news from Yikun Palace.Because the imperial concubine was too weak, when she got up to eat in the morning, she accidentally fell and fell into a coma for more than an hour before waking up.In fact, there was no fatal fall, only the skin was scratched a little on the palm, but the imperial concubine's face was frighteningly pale.

Ran'er knew that the situation was wrong, so she hurriedly begged Mu Jin to convey the news to the emperor as soon as possible.

Two days later, the emperor returned to Beijing, and after visiting the noble concubine in Yikun Palace, he sent Yanhua to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Yanhua was happy in her heart, she felt that he must have believed her after reading those small letters.She straightened her hair and hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.But what she never expected was that what was waiting for her would be a violent storm.
