Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 90

In just one hour's time, all the eunuchs and maids of Zhaoxia Palace were all executed with sticks.

Wang Miheng knelt behind the imperial concubine and concubine De, hearing the heart-piercing shouts outside the hall, he couldn't help feeling a little creepy.

The eunuch who executed the execution moved neatly, the board was lifted high and fell heavily, every time it hit the ground, dozens of people who came down from the board were already dying.

There was a dead silence in the hall, and there was a cold breath. Wang Miheng raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at the industrious man who was completely limp and without a trace of blood on the ground. She clearly felt the despair emanating from her body. and fear.

As the eunuchs and maids died one by one, the despair and fear had been replaced by a kind of numbness.She can't cry or laugh, she just kneels there motionless with empty eyes, as if she has lost all consciousness around her.

Wang Miheng suddenly understood why she wanted to kill herself, and she would rather kill herself silently than face Kangxi's thunderous wrath soberly.

Unfortunately, she couldn't even decide her own death.This kind of blow is enough to break people, especially when Kangxi killed so many people in Zhaoxia Palace in front of her.

Li Dequan bowed and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, all the servants have been dealt with."

After ordering people to kill the eunuchs in the Zhaoxia Palace, Kangxi's anger obviously subsided. His eyes fell on the noble man kneeling there, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Kangxi waved his hand: "Move to the cold palace."

"Yes." As soon as his words fell, Li Dequan immediately winked outside, and soon two guards came in to set up Qin Guiren.

Seeing someone approaching, a look of shock flashed across Qin Guiren's face, he threw himself in front of Kangxi, knelt down, grabbed Kangxi's trouser legs and begged for mercy incoherently.

"Your Majesty! The concubine doesn't know, the concubine doesn't know anything!" Qin Guiren burst into tears, and grabbed Kangxi's trouser legs tightly, as if grabbing the last straw in her life.

Seeing this, Li Dequan quickly winked and asked Qin Guiren to be pulled out.

"Your Majesty, my concubine..." Wang Miheng knelt there, looking at the eyes of Qingui, a flash of desperate light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, when I was interrogated by my concubine, I knew that the noble Qin was afraid of the emperor's blame and wanted to die. Your majesty might as well listen to the noble Qin to tell the difference." After Concubine De said this, she turned her gaze to the noble Qin again. There was a warning in the eyes.

Wang Miheng was very close to her, and happened to have a panoramic view of this scene. She could see that after Concubine De finished saying this, Qin Guiren's body flinched indistinctly, and a flash of hesitation flashed in his eyes. .

Seeing that she didn't speak, Kangxi's eyes turned cold, and he put his foot on Qinguiren's heart. Qinguiren was kicked by Kangxi and fell to the ground, his distorted cheeks were pale without a trace of blood.

Kangxi's disgust was vividly expressed through this kick.

Seeing Kangxi's unhesitating actions, Wang Miheng felt a little cold in his heart, but it was only for a moment.

In this dynasty, not to mention the emperor, even the men of ordinary officials' families must be so ruthless.When you spoil you, the moon in the sky can be picked off for you, and when you hate you, everything you do is wrong.

As the saying goes, when I like you, I think you are very smart, but when I hate you, I think you are too smart.

Therefore, when Kangxi kicked this kick, Wang Miheng didn't feel too much ups and downs. The emperor's wrath laid down millions of corpses. Compared with those court ladies and eunuchs who were ordered to be killed by him just now, this kick is obviously not enough. read.

It's just pitiful for Qingui, how could the weak and weak body bear this kick under Kangxi's fury?
The noble lady was kicked far away, and lay on the ground for a long time before she turned her head. A trace of blood leaked from the corner of her mouth, her lips were slightly opened, and she spit out a few words intermittently: "I beg the emperor to let the family of my concubine be spared... The concubine's status is humble. And without favor, I can't even control the servants in my own palace... The concubine is really ashamed of the emperor..."

She said these words intermittently, with an inexplicable sadness in them.In addition, Wang Miheng could hear a trace of unwillingness and hatred from her words somehow.

Seeing that Kangxi was unmoved, Li Dequan waved his hand, and someone forcibly dragged Qingui out.

Kangxi glanced at the people kneeling in the hall indifferently, and said coldly: "Go back to your own palace!" After saying this, he got up and left.

As soon as he left, the heavy and oppressive feeling in Zhaoxia Palace suddenly disappeared.

The imperial concubine stood up, raised her eyes and said: "Everyone get up, no one can discuss today's affairs indiscriminately, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about the usual sisterhood!"

"Yes, concubines would like to follow your mother's instructions." All the concubines agreed, and then stood up.

It's just that this kind of scandalous matter in the harem can't be suppressed by saying "don't discuss it indiscriminately".Don't forget that all the servants in the Zhaoxia Palace were killed by sticks, and the master of the Zhaoxia Palace was also thrown into limbo by Kangxi.

Such a big thing can't be regarded as never happened, can it?The biggest possibility is that Kangxi had just stepped out of the Zhaoxia Palace with his front foot, and there was an uproar in the palace with his back foot.

After kneeling for such a long time, Wang Miheng's legs were a little weak, she stood up and walked outside the hall. There were patches of blood in her eyes, and the strong smell of blood rushed into her nose, which made her unable to bear it. I felt sick for a while.

When she returned to Qixiang Palace, Wang Miheng still heard the heart-piercing cries of the palace maids and eunuchs who were executed before they died. Her complexion was a little pale. The bowl of soup and medicine calmed her down.

"Master, forget about these things after you read them, and don't take them to heart." Qiumei persuaded, while handing the soup into her hands.

Wang Miheng took the medicine bowl and put it on the table, and took Qiumei's hands into his own.

Qiumei's hands were cold, and her fingertips were trembling slightly.

This girl, she was so scared that she tried to comfort her.In fact, who would not be afraid of seeing that scene?In particular, Qiumei is also a slave like those court ladies and eunuchs in Zhaoxia Palace.A word from the master can ruin her life.

In the Forbidden City, I don't know how many such innocent souls there are.

Wang Miheng didn't know what she should say, so he squeezed her hand vigorously, hoping that this would reassure her.

"Master, hurry up and drink the soup, it will be cold in a while." Qiumei's eyes were moved, but Wang Miheng was thinking about something with his head down at this moment, and he didn't see the expression in her eyes.

"Master!" Seeing that her master was a little dazed, Qiumei called out in a low voice.

Wang Miheng raised his head and said thoughtfully: "Why did such a thing happen in the nobleman's palace?"

Seeing her little master's expression, Qiumei was slightly taken aback: "Master, do you feel that something is wrong?"

While stirring the soup with a spoon, Wang Miheng said: "Mr. Qin seemed to be about to say something when he was pulled down, but was stopped by Concubine De's eyes."

She was sure that she was not mistaken.

"Master's meaning..." Upon hearing this, Qiumei's face flashed with shock. Could it be that there is a truth behind this incident that they don't know?

Wang Miheng finished the soup in the bowl, picked up the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Didn't you hear that the noble lady heard the dirty things in her palace in the imperial garden, if it's a coincidence, It's a bit too coincidental."

"Besides, although a nobleman is weak, he is not useless. How could he not be able to control the servants in his own palace? That's all for the queen mother, at most it's a crime of lax governance, why did the nobleman think of suicide first?"

"Is she really wanting to die or someone can't tolerate her?"

As Wang Miheng spoke, her mind began to churn, thinking of Concubine De's eyes full of warning when she was in Zhaoxia Palace just now, she felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.

If there is no accident, the death of the nobleman is inseparable from the Yonghe Palace.

But Mrs. Qin is just a small nobleman, she doesn't get Kangxi's favor and has no heir to compete with Concubine De for Kangxi's favor, plus she is usually submissive, why does it hinder Concubine De's eyes and insist on getting rid of her?
Although Wang Miheng has been in the palace for such a long time, he is still a little unclear about this kind of thing in the harem.First, she was favored by Kangxi right after she entered the palace, and she could rely on Kangxi as a backer. Second, she gave birth to the emperor's heir. Although the sixth palace concubines were jealous, they did not dare to embarrass her easily.

Therefore, even though she was in the harem, she didn't know everything that happened in the harem.What's more, Qingui is too low-key. If it wasn't for such a thing, she might not notice her for the rest of her life?
Listening to Wang Miheng's words, Qiumei lowered her voice and said, "Concubine Xu Shide has some reason to fall into the hands of Qingui."

Wang Miheng nodded, and after much deliberation, it seems that this is the only point that is more reliable.But the dignified nobleman's status is humble, so how can Concubine De have any reason to fall into her hands and must get rid of it quickly?

After thinking about it, Wang Miheng didn't even think of the connection.Some things, the truth can only be known at the end.

Qin Guiren has been thrown into the cold palace, if it is really Concubine De's tricks, Qin Guiren's life may not be saved.

There is a saying that only the dead can keep secrets.Kangxi just put Qingui into the cold palace, and did not give him death.

I'm afraid this matter has also become a thorn in Concubine De's heart.

However, it is a felony for a concubine to commit suicide, so why didn't Kangxi kill Qingui on the spot in his anger?
This is also something that Wang Miheng couldn't figure out.

He could order people to kill all the maids and eunuchs in Zhaoxia Palace in front of Qingui. Obviously, Kangxi didn't have the slightest bit of pity for Qingui.

She seemed to be getting more and more unable to see through this matter.
