The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 611 Interrogation
Du originally thought that Concubine Xi was sitting inside and questioning each other, but she didn't see Concubine Xi after she entered, only Shao Yao and Xiao Yu'er were inside, the face sitting in front of a desk in the middle, Du Shi looked very strange.It was a good day, and she had always lived in seclusion and rarely came out to show her face.

After entering the palace, she suddenly became ill. Since she moved to Jingren Palace to help with the trivial matters in the harem, she hardly ever went out.Mrs. Du stayed in the long room all year round and rarely came to the harem, so it was normal not to know Liang Chen.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time. The imperial concubine is tired and has already gone in to rest. I just want to ask you a few questions, and you must tell the truth and not hide anything." Liang Chen looked up at her, then raised his pen to prepare record.

Seeing that she could write well, Mrs. Du knew that she had a lot of background, so she didn't dare to neglect her, so she quickly put on a smiley face and said: "Okay, okay, I must tell the truth, I dare not hide anything."

Liangchen nodded expressionlessly: "Someone said that someone in the old aunt secretly used the medicine of acacia. Is this really true?"

Du Shi was taken aback for a moment, forgetting to even breathe.Not to mention whether the old maids in other palaces can't bear to be lonely and do things that they are ashamed to talk about, but only the old aunts in the long room, Mrs. Du knows that there are two who can eat that kind of food. one of them.

She didn't know that Qi Qiao died suddenly because of taking medicine by mistake, she only thought that Qi Qiao committed suicide because she saw that Concubine Xi was not dead, because she was afraid of the incident being exposed.

She rolled her eyes like a human being, although her eyelids were drooping, the eyeballs were shining brightly.She chuckled twice, putting on a embarrassed look: "Auntie, this kind of thing...hehe...it's really hard to say."

Lingxi glared at her displeasedly: "If you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it, it's hard to say what it is!"

Du Shi was startled, trembled twice, shrunk his neck and said: "Yes, yes, I said what I said. This...I...I heard...someone used that thing, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. So...so don't dare to talk nonsense..."

"Then you heard that someone has used that thing?" Liang Chen looked up at her, and glanced at Lingxi by the way, signaling her not to interrupt.

Mrs. Du hesitated for a while, and said falteringly: "Qi Qiao seems to have used it... I just heard about it, I don't know if it's true..."

"Who did you hear about?"

Du Shi was taken aback: This is to get to the bottom of it, who is the one who can't keep his mouth shut and shakes out such a thing?She looked at the court ladies kneeling on the ground with resentment, thinking that it must be them, she should tear her mouth apart.

She didn't know that Liang Chen deliberately arranged for those four maids to kneel there.

But she only dared to think in her heart, and when she spoke, she was still cautious: "This... I don't remember, it seems... It seems that Sister Sun told me..."

She said a name casually, and couldn't help but raised her hand to wipe off her cold sweat.She acted carefully, she had not been interrogated in the palace for so long, and this was the first time she was interrogated in such a detailed way, she couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

After she was taken down, Yanhua came out from inside: "Is this the last one?"

Liang Chen got up, nodded and said: "It's the last one, can you have a conclusion?"

Ever since she discovered the traces of someone turning over the soil in the backyard, Yan Hua asked people to check who suspicious person had come in that day.Because almost no one in charge of affairs in Jingren Palace was there that day—Yanhua left the palace, Shaoyao went to Chuxiu Palace, and then Lingxi followed Concubine Yu to Chengqian Palace, and Xiao Yuer was also sent by Shaoyao They were so busy that they didn't settle in Jingren Palace, so no one paid attention to whether there would be someone with evil intentions entering.

Xiao Yu'er and Shao Yao also asked the people in Jingren Palace for a long time, only two young maids said that they seemed to have seen two people go to the backyard that day.There are two rooms in the backyard that are used as servants' rooms, for the maids of the Jingren Palace. Usually, they don't go to the backyard during the day, because they are afraid of being misunderstood and going back to be lazy.

They followed the clues and asked the two little maids to look around, and finally confirmed that they were the two little maids in the long room.Yanhua first asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to secretly transfer the two young maids to other places, and then secretly asked Wei Changan to interrogate the two of them.

The two court ladies had never met Du Shi himself, and they used to do things by begging for cleverness, and then they became another aunt who ordered them to do things.They didn't know what could be dug up in the backyard of Jingren Palace, they only knew that if they could dig out something, they would be rewarded with silver when they brought it back.And the thing about the aphrodisiac was learned from their mouths.

Yanhua is not afraid to scare the snake, she has already learned some superficial facts from the mouths of the two maids, and now she just wants to see which of these teaching aunts are guilty and suspicious.

Yan Hua didn't say who she suspected, she just asked Liang Chen first: "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that there is something wrong with the third...the seventh...this one...and the last one." Liang Chen smiled slightly, flipping through the words he had recorded, and started talking one by one. .

Yanhua listened carefully, and then told her about the people she suspected: "Tomorrow, you ask Xiao Yuer to show this to Wei Changan, and you arrange a few people to keep an eye on these people's movements, since They didn't get what they wanted, so they will always think of other ways. This is the harem, and it's not convenient for Wei Changan to come and check it out, so now we have to pay more attention by ourselves."

"Yes. Your Majesty is tired after listening to it for so long, go in and rest. We will keep an eye on everything from now on, so you don't have to worry about your Majesty." Liang Chen held Yanhua's arm, smiled and held her Sent to the inner hall to rest...

In the past, when Zhang Lizi was around, he would remind Du Shi from time to time to remind her to avenge Ba Ye.After Zhang Lizi left, because no one urged her, Mrs. Du only came according to the opportunities she noticed. When there was a chance, she tried to get revenge, and when there was no chance, she just took care of herself.She is afraid of death, so she will not die without reason.

When she deliberately left the letter she couldn't understand to Mrs. An's maid, she hoped that Mrs. An would make things worse, but it didn't turn out to be a big deal.

She didn't know what was written in that letter, but she couldn't leave the palace, and it was dangerous and useless to keep such a letter in her room.So she changed her mind, it was better to give it to someone like An Guiren who hated Concubine Xi, and using her hands to achieve her goal was really the best way.

Now that Mrs. Du had confronted Jingren Palace head-on, she naturally didn't dare to act rashly, besides, she didn't find a chance to do so.

So after Yanhua sent people to watch them, she didn't make any mistakes, but the other suspects were found to have many problems.But it has nothing to do with Yanhua's murder, so Shaoyao and the others didn't deliberately punish those people because they didn't want to startle the snake.

Days passed and things kept getting nowhere.Yanhua was not in a hurry, she just let people stare at her slowly, after all, she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

The relationship between Xiaoxiao and Zhang Ruoai has not progressed yet, Zhang Ruoai still dislikes Xiaoxiao as always, and Xiaoxiao doesn't mind, except for his fierce mouth, he has never really suppressed him with his princess status.However, when Zhang Ruoai taught her how to paint, she was very strict, she smiled dissatisfied, but after she calmed down and studied, she got started quickly.Zhang Ruoai couldn't help being a little surprised, but it was only in her heart.

Things turned around in the spring of the 12th year of Yongzheng.

Xiaoxiao and Zhang Ruoai didn't know about the bet between Yinzhen and Zhang Tingyu, so they were not in a hurry.Xiaoxiao's defense between men and women is not as serious as other women, it's because she was favored by the queen since she was a child.After Zhang Ruoai got acquainted with her, it was inevitable that she couldn't keep her distance all the time.Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two of them is becoming more and more harmonious.

By March, Yinzhen began to worry. After all, the bet was coming to an end in July, and he didn't want to lose in his bones.So he asked Yanhua to do something, and Yanhua couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "Why doesn't the emperor tell Hongli himself?"

Yinzhen sneered, pulled her sleeves and said, "I'm the emperor, how can I tell Hongli this kind of thing? Chanchan also knows that I'm usually very strict in front of them, how can I... let it go Have to get off the shelf?"

Yan Hua shook her head, quite helplessly: "Okay, why does the Emperor insist on making that bet with Mr. Zhang? The concubine will tell Hongli to be more careful, but everything depends on fate, if it can't be done, the Emperor will not Resent Hongli is."

She didn't expect at that time that Zhang Ruo'ai and Xiaoxiao's relationship would be so fast because she asked Hongli to help push the flames.

"You really protect him." Yinzhen sighed, seeing Yanhua staring at her temples, he took her hand and said, "Recently my back hurts badly, you smoke more every day Would you like to spend some time with me? If you persuade me more, I can rest for a while. "

Hearing these words made Yanhua feel sad, what he said seemed like no one asked him to rest, so why are you so tired?
When she came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation a few days ago, she met Jiang Yu, the imperial physician. Jiang Yu told her that the emperor's heart has been tired all year round, and now he is quite easy to get sick.He hoped that Yanhua could persuade the emperor more, let the emperor pay more attention to rest, pay more attention to meals, don't forget to eat or delay the time of meal when you are busy, if it goes on like this, it will really do too much harm to the body.

Yanhua secretly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "What are you talking about, Zhenlang? When I came here, I didn't persuade you to rest more. I begged you to go to the Imperial Garden together. You should never , can't let go of this or that matter. The papers can never be finished, and the affairs of the court can't be finished, the emperor is deliberately worrying his concubine."

"Why are you crying? I was just talking nonsense..." He hastily raised his hand to wipe Yanhua's tears, and coaxed her softly, "Actually, I'm not tired at all. I just complained in front of you and wanted me to Chanchan loves me dearly."

Only then did Yanhua raise her head, covered her mouth and smiled, with tears still glistening in her eyes: "Then now the emperor can accompany his concubines to the imperial garden? The flowers in it are blooming beautifully." .”

"Okay, I'll go with you. You can't cry anymore. You are such a big man, and you are not afraid of being laughed at."

"If Zhen Lang won't make me worry, I will naturally stop crying." Yan Hua hurriedly supported him to go outside as if she was afraid of his repentance.

"Hmph, okay, okay, I don't regret it, walk slowly." Seeing her impatient look, Yinzhen couldn't help laughing, "After a few days, how about I take you to the Old Summer Palace? The scenery is even better than the imperial garden. The peach blossoms I planted must have bloomed, so it must be very beautiful, as beautiful as the hidden mansion."

Yanhua was overjoyed, there was no reason why she shouldn't, she nodded hurriedly: "Okay, the emperor hasn't been there this year, he should stay for a few more days."

When she went to Yuanmingyuan, she would have nothing to worry about, and then she would be able to pester Yinzhen to walk around the garden every day, which was better than sitting in front of the dragon case reviewing papers and worrying about the court affairs.

She thought that the catastrophe between her and Yinzhen was over, but unexpectedly, going out of the palace to Yuanmingyuan this time was extremely thrilling.
