Chapter 11 Concubine Xi

((The plot is gradually starting to unfold, and important characters are going to appear one by one!)

In Jingren Palace, Concubine Xi sat upright on the seat, her expression was solemn, and she listened to Yi Huan's report on what happened in the imperial garden.

The cuttlefish stood aside stiffly, not daring to look up at Concubine Xi, but only cast his afterglow over, and saw that he was wearing a bright satin flag suit, wearing a red gold treasure hairpin on his head, and a royal blue Tucui peacock hanging hairpin on the side of the bun, graceful and luxurious.

The cuttlefish thought to herself, she is worthy of being the most favored mother, whether it is clothes or headdresses, they are all precious things, far from being comparable to ordinary concubines, in terms of aura, Concubine Xi is far superior to others, and at a glance there is a posture that shocks the people in the six palaces, which is extraordinary.

Concubine Xi doesn't like to use incense, and Jingren Palace is only filled with a faint aroma of flower tea, and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

After Yi Huan finished speaking, he ordered someone to bring Caiyun in, and then respectfully retreated to the side, waiting for Concubine Xi to speak.

For the people and things in the palace, the cuttlefish doesn't know very much, she only knows that Concubine Xi on the seat is a big person, and everyone in the harem is afraid of it, but as for this lady's personality and way of doing things, she doesn't know.

"In this way, it is the palace maid's attempt to murder the concubine, which is simply ridiculous!" Concubine Xi's words were full of anger, and then she turned her head to look at the cuttlefish, and her voice was much softer, "Su promised to be frightened, quickly pick a comfortable chair and sit down, don't stand and get tired." ”

The cuttlefish hurriedly replied, "Xie Niangniang gave me a seat." Then he found the nearest chair behind him and sat down, deliberately separating himself from Concubine Xi, not wanting to get too close.

Concubine Xi took her eyes back from the cuttlefish, looked at Caiyun who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and her expression was dazed, "Caiyun, the matter has come to this point, you don't want to escape the crime anymore, if you still want to live, just honestly explain everything, this palace may be able to spare you from death." Say, who sent you to harm Su promised, how long did you plan it, and what did you want? ”

Caiyun shook his head vigorously, his face was full of tears, and he cried: "No one instructed the slave and maid, it was the slave and the maid who hated Su because of the previous incident, and made a mistake for a while, Concubine Xi, please spare my life, the slave and maid don't dare anymore." ”

Concubine Xi took a sip of tea and sighed, "I know that you refuse to tell the truth, and you waste the time of the palace with nonsense, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin." This palace will give you another chance and order you to reveal all the truths you have concealed, otherwise don't blame the palace rules for being ruthless and let you end up in a different place. ”

Concubine Xi's voice was not loud, but it made the cuttlefish feel startled and broke out in a cold sweat. In this palace, human life is sometimes not worth mentioning at all, especially the power of life and death of the palace maids and eunuchs are in the hands of the masters, if they don't do their errands well, they will be in danger of losing their heads.

The cuttlefish watched Concubine Xi say the execution of Caiyun so lightly, I don't know if she often executes people, so she will say the difference in the body so lightly, as if the person kneeling in front of him is just an ant.

"Don't, Niangniang, the slave doesn't want to die, as long as you want to know, the slave must know everything, and tell you everything."

Hearing the life-threatening words, Caiyun was so frightened that his limbs trembled, his head kept slamming down on the ground, desperately begging for mercy, and he kept saying that he wanted to make a cow and a horse for Concubine Xi, and he was willing to obey the orders of YiqiΔ“ arrangement.

Sure enough, people are afraid of death, even if they are usually arrogant and pretentious, they can't stand others from threatening their lives, and all of a sudden, they don't want any face and identity.

The cuttlefish raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Concubine Xi, and saw that her face was not half moved, although Caiyun's vain attempt to kill others was indeed very hateful, but seeing her hoarse and begging for mercy was not affected in the slightest, it was too hard-hearted.

No other sound could be heard in the room, except for the cries of the clouds that lasted for about a quarter of an hour.

It wasn't until Caiyun cried hoarsely, a large patch of blood red appeared on her forehead, and she was no longer able to make a fuss, that Concubine Xi spoke.

Instead of paying attention to the colorful clouds curled up on the ground, but threw the words to the cuttlefish first, Concubine Xi said with a smile: "This palace is ordered by the emperor to assist the queen in handling the affairs of the six palaces, the emperor is in charge of government affairs, and the queen is frail and sick, so it is better to leave today's affairs to the palace alone." ”

How dare the cuttlefish have two words: "Yes, it's all to blame...... The concubine is troublesome, and she has caused you trouble. "I almost missed my mouth, but fortunately, the cuttlefish reacted in time and changed his mouth.

Concubine Xi was very satisfied with the cuttlefish's low eyebrows, and she continued, "Although Su promised you to be wronged, after all, this is an ugly thing in the palace, and it is not good to publicize it to the outside world. It's better to send someone to send you back to the palace to rest, so that you can recuperate, and the rest of the things will be properly handled by the palace. ”

The cuttlefish understood that these kind words were intended to send her away and seal her mouth, indicating that Concubine Xi already had an idea and didn't want her to interfere in the situation. Cuttlefish is not a nosy person, so he is naturally happy to hurry back, and he doesn't want to stay in Jingren Palace for a moment.

She stood up, saluted, and replied, "Thank you for your compassion, the concubine will definitely not talk nonsense, and the rest will bother Niangniang." ”

Concubine Xi nodded, beckoned Yi Hui to send two capable palace maids to escort the cuttlefish back together, and told her to be careful not to go wrong on the road.

Concubine Xi didn't get up to send it off, but just looked too much with her eyes, "The palace will pick some high-quality supplements, and send Yi Hui to Changchun Palace in two days to show her gratitude." Su promised to be moving, this time there is no danger is also a blessing, the palace will say a few more kind words for you in the emperor's ear, and arrange for you to sleep again earlier to receive the holy favor. ”

As soon as the cuttlefish heard the waiter's bed, he complained bitterly, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to salute Concubine Xi again, and followed the accompanying palace maid out of Jingren Palace.

Concubine Xi looked at the back of the cuttlefish leaving, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, but she soon returned to normal.

As soon as she came outside, the cuttlefish breathed in a big gulp of fresh air, she was suffocated in Jingren Palace just now, and Concubine Xi's momentum was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe, how much she had to suffer.

The cuttlefish looked at the palace maids accompanying her on both sides, one was called Chunxiang and the other was Xia Ju, both of whom were only fourteen or fifteen years old, the same age as when she first entered the palace, the same naΓ―ve face, but a little less energetic than her, looking mature and restrained, it can be seen that there are many rules in Jingren Palace, and the control of the minions is also very strict.

As for the unreasonable and vicious Caiyun, how will Concubine Xi punish her, the cuttlefish thought for a moment, and always felt that it would not be punished with death, probably after a strict trial, she would be punished to serve in the Xin Zheku.

That's it, these have nothing to do with me, it's better to go back quickly, after coming out for so long, the master must be worried about the breakdown.
