Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 91

The dilapidated palace in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City has always been the most taboo and feared place for all the women in the harem.In just one day, Qingui was moved from Zhaoxia Palace to Leng Palace, but she knew in her heart that since she heard what Concubine De and Concubine Cheng had said a few days ago, this was the best way out for her.

After staying in the palace for so long, she has long understood that saving her life is the most important thing.Without her life, no amount of favor and status would be of any use to her.What's more, she has never received the favor of the emperor, so she is not afraid of losing it.

What is the difference between the coldness of Zhaoxia Palace and this cold palace?

Qingui sat alone in the dilapidated palace, but his eyes were clear, not at all dull and crazy like when he was in the Zhaoxia Palace.

If this woman wants to save her life in the harem, the most basic thing is to learn how to act.

The effect of this self-suicide was very good. Although the emperor killed all the maids and eunuchs in the Zhaoxia Palace with a cane of anger, he just put her in the cold palace and spared her life.

With Concubine De's scheming, she must have guessed that the emperor has become suspicious of this matter.In this way, if she wants to attack her again, she will have to weigh it carefully.

Qin Gui let out a sigh of relief, and his thoughts returned to the moment in the Imperial Garden a few days ago.These days, this incident has almost become her nightmare.

In the imperial garden, the noble man held Concubine Rong's hand and walked slowly.

"Your Majesty, it's freezing cold, and you're not in good health. You should go back earlier." After greeting the imperial concubine from Chengqian Palace, Concubine Rong suggested that she accompany her to the imperial garden to relax.

Concubine Rong Ma Jia entered the palace very early. In the sixth year of Kangxi, she gave birth to the eldest son Chengrui. Unfortunately, she died after only two years and 8 months. After that, Ma Jia gave birth to the princes Saiyin, Chahun and Chang Hua and Changsheng also died young. In December 20, she was promoted to concubine at the same time as Yipin and Depin. Therefore, in this harem, Concubine Rong is a truly low-key person.

Fortunately, as a concubine, the emperor often thinks about the old love and rewards some things, so even without the emperor's favor, others would not dare to belittle her at will.

The noble man is docile and has experienced the pain of bereavement. He can almost talk to Concubine Rong when he comes and goes, but that's all.

However, if you can say a few words, the nobleman will be satisfied.

"It's just a bit of wind and cold. How can I be so fragile?" After hearing what she said, Concubine Rong smiled slightly, but still stretched out her hand to grab the hand of Qin Guiren, and walked to the pavilion in the imperial garden, "Then accompany me Go sit in the palace for a while."

After hearing this, Qingui was slightly relieved. Although Concubine Rong is not favored, her body is also precious.

After chatting for a few words, Aunt Xiao next to Concubine Rong reminded her in a low voice: "Madam, it's time to drink the medicine."

"En." Concubine Rong responded, then turned her head and said to her: "Then I will go back first."

Qin Gui stood up to bless his body, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction on his face because of Concubine Rong's sudden departure.This is the case in this palace, the concubines with low status have the least right to complain.It's just that this feeling of being called to come and go as soon as it is called made her feel blocked.

Fortunately, she is used to these things.The servants in the palace are most attuned to the wind, and getting along with Concubine Rong will at least make her life easier.

Otherwise, how would she survive the years to come as a noble person who did not receive the emperor's favor and did not have the emperor's heirs to accompany her.

After Concubine Rong left, Qin Guiren walked down the steps step by step, when suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, she couldn't help shivering.

In the imperial garden in winter, there are only bare leaves swaying weakly in the cold wind, and the gravel path under the feet is even more chilly.

Walking on the quiet path, the sight was bleak, the nobleman was already in a bad mood, and seeing this scene made him even more depressed.

A year ago, also in this imperial garden, she accidentally gave birth.If nothing happened, her child would be about the same size as Mibi by now.

Thinking of this, Qin Guiren couldn't help feeling sour in his heart, and couldn't help feeling disheartened.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not easy." Qin Guiren was startled by the sudden voice, and quickly hid behind the rockery.

"It's difficult? I didn't ask you to come here because I wanted to hear you say these words!" Another voice sank, and Qingui knew it was Concubine De who was speaking.

In this palace, apart from the imperial concubine, who else has such confidence.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, the concubine just feels that this matter needs to be discussed in the long term."

"It's useless, and you still want to wait for the secret concubine to become a concubine before you can do it? Don't forget, the emperor has turned over the secret concubine's brand these days. If you want to have a good way out, you must give the secret concubine to you." Except. Otherwise, maybe another Dong E family will appear in this palace. At that time, the emperor will not give you this chance even if you try to do anything." Concubine De said with a sneer in her eyes.

"Yes, all the concubines listen to the mother. However, since the last time the secret concubine was poisoned, everyone in the Qixiang Palace has been extra careful."

"From what you said, you want Ben Gong to teach you how to do it?" Concubine De's eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Concubine Cheng shook her head hastily, and muttered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this concubine will definitely get this done."

"Well, the day when it is done is the day when you will be favored by the emperor. As long as the little elder brother dies, the fate of the secret concubine will be the same as that of the former emperor's concubine Dong E."

Hearing these words, Qin Guiren's complexion suddenly changed, he was shocked and accidentally stepped on the protruding stone under his feet, making a soft noise.

"Who!"

Qingui was terrified, and ran to the back in a panic, but he didn't expect that the hairpin rubbed against the protruding stone edge and fell to the ground.

A sound of hurried footsteps reached my ears, and in desperation, Qingui had no choice but to run out.

After returning to the Zhaoxia Palace, Qin Guiren was so upset that even his eyelashes were trembling.

Concubine De's last words kept echoing in her mind: "As long as the little elder brother dies, the fate of the secret concubine will be the same as that of the former emperor's concubine Dong E."

All the old people in the palace said that the fourth elder brother of the first emperor was killed by the deposed concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing was jealous of Dong E's special favor, so taking advantage of the fact that the third elder brother was also the current emperor who had smallpox, when Concubine Kang went to see the third elder brother outside the palace, she ordered the nobleman Jin beside her to dress up as an accompanying palace maid, and secretly took the third elder brother My brother stole his bellyband.

Then, he bribed a wet nurse of the fourth elder brother and secretly put it on for the fourth elder brother. Not long after, the fourth elder brother also got smallpox and died.

As soon as the fourth elder brother died, Dong E couldn't afford to be ill, and stayed in bed all day long. He passed away two years later.The first emperor grieved and named her "Empress Duan Jing".

Since Concubine De can say this, she must follow the example of Concubine Jing and get rid of the fifteen elder brothers who were secret concubines.

The noble man's heart was pounding, there was only one end for hearing something that should not be heard in this palace, especially that person was the concubine Defei who was the assistant of Liugong and was highly valued by the emperor.

Thinking of the hairpin that she accidentally dropped on the ground, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

This incident was like a thorn in her heart. In the past few days, she saw all the maids and eunuchs in Zhaoxia Palace were worried, and felt that everyone might take advantage of Concubine De to harm her.She secretly hid a silver needle, and every time she ate something, she had to use the silver needle to check it carefully before she dared to eat it.

Soon, she found that the maid she was close to was looking at her slightly differently. Until the day before yesterday, she brought up a bowl of white fungus porridge, but it was poisoned.

Qingui pretended to accidentally knock the bowl of white fungus porridge on the ground, but she knew in her heart that with her status, she couldn't escape the evil hands of Concubine De.

So, after that day, she pretended to be sick and seldom ate anything, she only ate some refreshments and fruits, and she didn't even touch anything else.She wanted the master of the Yonghe Palace to mess up.

Sure enough, after only one day, the palace lady Shuang'er persuaded her to go to the Imperial Garden with the excuse of relaxation, and then she "accidentally" heard the so-called "ugly things" from the palace maid.

At that moment, she knew that the one in Yonghe Palace wanted to use this to force her to death.Even if this scandal is just fabricated out of thin air, but with Concubine De's ability, I'm afraid she will be accused of lax governance when the time comes.

As for her, only if she made a big fuss and alarmed the emperor, could she escape the catastrophe.

Speaking of which, what does the maid and eunuch's indiscretion have to do with her as the master?She couldn't keep an eye on the servants in her palace all the time.

After much deliberation, she thought of a trick of suicide.

It is a felony for a concubine to commit suicide, but she has only had a miscarriage not long ago, and she has not been favored. Based on her understanding of the emperor, even if the emperor knows, she will not blame it too much.At most, it just put her in the cold palace.

The Emperor refused to let her die, so Concubine De dared not do it lightly.

Besides, as long as the emperor is alarmed, the emperor will know that this matter is weird after only one investigation.

At that time, if Concubine De wanted to harm her again, she would have to weigh whether she could bear the emperor's suspicion and wrath.

With Concubine De's usual palace and scheming, this time, she would not risk her life just to get rid of such a little nobleman as her.Because as long as she moves a little, it's hard to guarantee that it won't reach the emperor's ears.

She thought that she was afraid to tell the emperor what she had heard because she was intimidated by her warning. In fact, she just knew better that she had no evidence in her hands. what use.

At that time, if she is charged with framing the concubine, she will have to die.

It's not as good as it is now. Although people are in the cold palace, they are much safer than in the Zhaoxia palace.

As for how to make herself live longer in this cold palace, she still has to plan carefully.
