Chapter Fifty-Nine: Respect to the Concubine
Everyone felt a little abrupt when they heard the news, and the queen couldn't believe it, her originally amiable face became serious, and the hand that had just picked up the tea cup shook and made a skirt full of tea stains, Zhan Yu hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped it for the queen, and the queen pointed to the chief eunuch, "You say it again."

The chief eunuch said again, "Concubine Lan in Jianfu Palace has died." ”
Tong Guiren was very shocked when she heard the news, but she had some doubts in her heart, until the chief eunuch confirmed it again, she believed that Concubine Lan was dead, although she was looking forward to Concubine Lan's death, but now that Concubine Lan is really dead, she is not as happy as she expected, she used to be just poisonous in her mouth, and her heart is also poisonous in her heart, she is very nervous, hiding her hands in her sleeves and holding them tightly to control her body trembling with fear and fear.
"Such a big thing has not returned to the emperor." The queen felt that the situation was serious, Concubine Lan was Bai Yi's favorite concubine recently, and Concubine Lan was also in good health, how could she suddenly die.
"Probably not yet." The chief eunuch shook his head, and the palace maid on duty today said that when she arrived outside Concubine Lan's bedroom, she found that it was very quiet inside, so she waited outside, but after most of the hour, seeing that the time to greet the queen was coming, the palace maid on duty had the audacity to shout a few times, but no one answered, and the palace maid was afraid, so she called the eunuch, the head of Jianfu Palace, and pushed open the door, and found that Concubine Lan and the palace maid of the night vigil were all angry.
The queen hurriedly ordered to go down and said: "The queen mother is seriously ill, don't let the queen mother worry about these things, prepare the things that should be prepared, and the palace will go and tell the emperor." "The queen felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, Concubine Lan was pitiful, and the prince who stayed behind was even more pitiful, she lost her mother at a young age, what should she do in the future?
Bai Yi was still reviewing the folds, and he didn't say anything after listening to the news brought by the queen, just endless silence, he felt uncomfortable but not sad, he tried to recall Concubine Lan and his everything, but it was bleak and pitiful, and after a long time, he said to the queen: "Posthumously crown Concubine Lan as a concubine, and call her a respectful concubine." ”
The queen took Bai Yi's will to do things, and after the queen left, she called Zhao Shouquan in and instructed: "You send someone to the Tai Hospital to check the medical records of Concubine Lan, and then let someone check the body of the palace maid who kept the night. ”
Zhao Shouquan answered and went out, and not long after he came over, the hospital gave Zhao Shouquan a reply, saying that Concubine Lan did not have a medical record this year, and the person who examined the body of the palace maid also got the news, saying that the palace maid of the night vigil had signs of poisoning, her face was purple, her appearance was peaceful, and she didn't see any pain, and Concubine Lan was the same, but she couldn't find out what the poison was. ”
Zhao Shouquan told Bai Yi the news he had obtained, Bai Yi raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't be quiet, I quietly passed on the palace people to interrogate one by one, and I will always find out my eyebrows, isn't the noble Tong good friend with Concubine Lan, you go and ask." ”
"Your Majesty, this servant has asked, Tong Guiren has not been to Jianfu Palace for four or five days because of his ill health, and Tong Guiren has also sent a congratulatory gift during this period, and Concubine Lan has not used it, and the slave sent someone to check, which is not inappropriate." Zhao Shouquan did everything he could in advance, but there was no clue at all.
Bai Yi thought for a while, and then asked, "Is there anything suspicious about Concubine Lan's bedroom?" "If someone poisons it, it may leave some clues.
Zhao Shouquan listened, thought about it carefully, and said: "There is nothing suspicious, the servant sent someone to ask the palace maid on duty this morning, and the palace maid said that when the chief eunuch pushed the door open, she only felt that the room was very stuffy, and there was a feeling of suffocation, and the person sent also checked the dormitory, saying that there were only two charcoal basins, and they were all ashes. ”
Bai Yi sighed again, he has a lot of concubines, and Concubine Lan is still the first one, which makes him feel a little guilty, if he spends more time with her, maybe she won't die, but where does Bai Yi know, originally Concubine Lan was good, it was because of his occasional kindness to Concubine Lan that Concubine Lan was killed.
Concubine Lan's funeral affairs were done, and those who were lower in the palace than Concubine Lan were all dressed in plain clothes and worshiped in the Jianfu Palace, everyone knew that Bai Yi was very guilty about Concubine Lan's death, so they all wanted to be more prominent, so that Bai Yi knew their grief.
Although Concubine Jing also hated Concubine Lan, but Concubine Lan had died, she didn't care, and specially brought Huixin to cry, she couldn't cry, but she also sincerely put on a stick of incense, and said silently in her heart: "Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan, although this palace regards you as a thorn in the eye, but it doesn't mean to want you to die, and I don't know which one hates you to the bone, if you have a spirit underground, don't come to this palace." ”
Concubine Jing finished worshipping sincerely, but found that a large group of concubines were looking at her with strange eyes, "Why are you looking at this palace like this?" Concubine Jing originally wanted to have a seizure, but when she thought that this was Concubine Lan's mourning hall, she endured it and left with Huixin.
As soon as Concubine Jing left, those concubines began to discuss, "Concubine Lan's tragic death for no reason must have been done by Concubine Jing." "Up and down the palace, except for Concubine Jing, who has so much courage, I can't think of anyone else.
"That's right, otherwise, how could she be so arrogant and arrogant that she would be willing to come and incense Concubine Lan."
Probably in the eyes of everyone, Concubine Lan is powerful, and the most uncomfortable thing is probably Concubine Jing, according to Concubine Jing's personality, it is not the first time that she blatantly harms others, isn't the last time she was treated coldly because she harmed the daughter of the Ming family? "It's not, speaking of which, I also think Concubine Jing is the most suspicious, except for Concubine Jing, it is Concubine Li, they are inseparable."
"Oh, it's terrible, in the past month or so, except for Concubine Lan, it is the Tong nobles who are the most favored, yes, then the Tong nobles have to be careful." Another group of concubines also made a noise, but they weren't really worried about Tong Guiren, let's die, it's better that Tong Guiren is also dead, so they can have a chance.
These concubines are too idle and boring on weekdays, and now there is a topic, and they will discuss it regardless of the occasion, Zhao Shouquan, as the person who supervises, naturally can't stand it, coughed, and said: "Masters, this is in front of the spirit of the concubine, since the masters have come to give the concubine a ride, then be sincere, if the emperor knows, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
These concubines were drunk by Zhao Shouquan, and they were all settled, the old favorite concubine died, and a new favorite concubine would be produced, they all had this possibility, these concubines finished worshipping, and they all left in pairs.
Zhao Shouquan has been paying attention to the performance of each concubine, and when all the concubines mean that Concubine Jing killed Concubine Lan, Concubine Jing has no sense of emptiness, but is she very angry, isn't it Concubine Jing's doing?
