Chapter Twenty-Seven: Destroying the fragrance and jade, self-inflicted evil
The breath of the cold palace is gloomy and cold, there is no one on the road, walking on this road as if you are left alone in the world, and every breath feels cold and lonely.
Xiang Gui Concubine sat in a narrow room, in addition to this round table, there was only a dilapidated hard bed left, no one was waiting around, not to mention the stove in the room, not even a clean quilt on the bed, so cold that Xiang Gui Concubine sat there shivering, at this time a eunuch pushed the door in, holding a tray in front of Xiang Gui Concubine, it was better to put it than to fall, and the tone did not have a trace of politeness, "Xiang Gui Concubine, it's time to eat." After speaking, he didn't forget to look at him with disgust, and turned around to leave.
Xianggui Concubine looked at the meal in the tray, an old nest head, a bowl of slippery things, I don't know if it was soup or porridge, a small plate of pickles, the meal looked like it made people have no appetite, cold and cold without the slightest temperature.
Xianggui Concubine angrily turned the meal on the ground, and the sound of the rice bowl breaking forced the eunuch who had not yet gone out to turn around, and Xianggui Concubine said angrily, "How do you serve?" This meal is like pig food, how can this concubine eat it? ”
The eunuch didn't show any fear at all, but chuckled, "Xianggui Concubine Niangniang, this is the Cold Palace, not the Mingguang Hall of Yuxiu Palace, it's good to have something to eat, you knocked over this meal, and the minions don't have a second serving." When Concubine Xiang heard this, she was even more angry, "Presumptuous! How dare you speak to this concubine! ”
"Niangniang, it's normal that you are not used to being here when you first come to the cold palace, but do you sober up, do you still think you are a noble concubine? Put away your temper of giving orders, in this cold palace, this trick doesn't work, if you want to eat well, you can take the silver, and the slave will buy it for you. ”
After speaking, the eunuch stretched out his hand and spread out his palm, Xiang Guifei was stunned for a moment, the emperor made an order last night, and the guards took her directly to the cold palace, how could she have any money? When the eunuch saw Concubine Xiang like this, he immediately smiled coldly and said, "If you don't have money, just stay here!" It's better not to starve to death, lest you suffer! ”
At this time, I only heard the sound of "bang", the door was pushed open by force, the cold wind invaded, blowing the Xiang Guifei even colder, Xiang Guifei turned to the door, only to see Yi Guifei holding the stove, standing at the door solemnly, the eunuch was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly attached himself and saluted, "The slave asks for peace to Yi Guifei Niangniang." ”
Concubine Yi didn't even look at it, and when she entered the room, she went to a wooden chair, as if she didn't see anyone, and Huixin said to the eunuch in a mean tone, "There's nothing for you here, get out!" The eunuch had already lost his momentum, and he was so frightened that he nodded and retreated.
Concubine Xiang sat there fighting a cold war, but her face was plain, and Huixin said unhappily when she saw this, "Concubine Xiang, Concubine Xiang is coming, why don't you salute?" As if she hadn't heard it, Concubine Xiang sat there calmly. Concubine Yi raised her lips indifferently and said, "That's it, this palace doesn't care about people who are about to die." When Concubine Xiang heard the word "dying person", she was shocked, "Concubine Yi, what are you going to do?" ”
Concubine Yi smiled indifferently, "The cold palace is so desolate and miserable, this palace persuades Xiang Guifei to stop this life, and vote for a good family in the next life, so as not to live and suffer, Huixin, this palace is thirsty, pour a glass of water." ”
Hui Xin responded, took out a paper bag from the cuff, put the white powder inside into the cup, and picked up the teapot only to find that there was no water, "Niangniang, there is no water in the pot." ”
Concubine Yi coldly ordered, "Bring in a cup of snow." Hui Xin responded and took an empty teacup out of the house, Xiang Guifei was a little scared, "What is the concubine Niangniang going to do?" ”
Concubine Yi glanced at the two eunuchs beside her, the eunuch immediately understood, stepped forward and forcibly pressed the arms of Xiang Guifei, Xiang Guifei saw such a situation, and her heart was even more afraid, Yi Guifei showed a cold smile, "Xiang Guifei moved her hands and feet in the turtle jelly, she should be no stranger to this powder, right?" Xiang Guifei's face turned pale, and she retorted in a low voice, "I didn't put arsenic in the turtle jelly, it was Concubine Hui who framed me!" ”
Yi Guifei was not in a hurry to answer, just smiled coldly, and then Huixin walked in with a cup full of snow and put it in front of Yi Guifei, "Niangniang, the snow is ready." Concubine Yi put the stove on the cup, "Sister doesn't even have water here, this palace helps you melt this snow and taste the taste of arsenic." ”
Concubine Xiang was so frightened that she struggled to get up, but the two eunuchs held her down, making her unable to move, "No! You can't do this to me! The emperor and queen didn't order me to be executed, why did you do this! Let me go! Let me go! Concubine Yi also ignored her, just waiting for the snow in the cup to turn into water.
Concubine Xiang still didn't give up, and continued to shout with a hideous face, "You and Concubine Hui colluded to murder me!" You femme fatales! Aren't you afraid of God's wrath? After hearing this, Concubine Yi was extremely impatient, got up and slapped Xiang Guifei fiercely, and a trace of blood instantly oozed from the corner of Xiang Guifei's mouth.
Concubine Yi Guifei's face was fierce, and she said viciously, "You'd better be quiet in this palace, otherwise it will only make you die faster!" said that the palace is a femme fatale, so what about when you and Concubine Shu colluded to kill Concubine Hui? I don't know how to restrain my mouth on weekdays, can I blame others? The head is extremely stupid, and she believes the slander of the villain next to her, if Concubine Shu wants to help you sincerely, how can she let you ignore it in the cold palace this night? If your brain is not bright, don't design to frame others, no one is a vegetarian! It's all your fault! ”
Concubine Yi's words made Concubine Xiang suddenly sober up a lot, and she sat there and couldn't say a word.
At this time, the snow has completely turned into water, Yi Guifei made a look at Huixin, Huixin poured the snow water into the cup filled with arsenic, and reached out to force Xiang Guifei's mouth to open, Xiang Guifei resisted hard, and finally couldn't resist so many people pressing. Hui Xin quickly poured snow water into Xiang Guifei's mouth, and Xiang Guifei then convulsed in pain, and then a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, and she instantly collapsed on the chair and died. Seeing this, Concubine Yi did not see a trace of fear, and then Concubine Yi put a letter on the table next to Concubine Xiang and left with everyone.
On the way, Concubine Yi instructed the two eunuchs, "You go and kill the eunuch who brought food to Concubine Xiang just now, remember not to be discovered." The two eunuchs replied and turned back.
After the two of them walked away, Concubine Yi said to Huixin, "After dawn tomorrow, the palace doesn't want to see these two minions again." "Yes, the slave knows what to do." ”
Concubine Yi calmly walked out of the cold palace, as if nothing had happened.
