69 dead people
"Dead?" Xu Xun's voice was raised, "This-how come?" β
She stood up a little unusually, almost knocking over the tea bowl, "Why is this dead?" β
It was just after the second day of February, and because of the abnormal atmosphere in the palace, the good day when the dragon raised its head was not celebrated much. Xu Xun and Sun Yunu were very careful to lure Qian Long in the Taisun Palace, and ate spring cakes, even if they had celebrated. Compared to the cheerful and extravagant celebrations of previous years, this is almost like a thief.
But that's it, according to Xu Xun's expectations, Taisun Palace is still a paradise-like place now. After all, the population is small, and since Feng En came to check that day and didn't find any problems, Taisun Palace hasn't been in much trouble. However, in the Taisun Palace, it seems that it has been bothered for two days, but the news is not true: now that Taisun Palace has its own lower room, everyone can shrink into the palace and not go out. Sun Yunu and Xu Xun can't care about pretending to be sick now, and the two of them joined hands and locked most of the people in the palace with repeated orders, only the Chinese who delivered water and food outside every day had contact with Taisun Palace. In addition, the harem of Taisun Palace is like an island, and it has no connection with the outside at all, and the Taisun Palace is also there, because it is in the palace city, so there is no contact at all.
This news was brought back to Grandma Sun by Wang Jin. Grandma Sun's face was also very solemn, and she said, "It was Feng En who sent the news to Wang Jin - I think it was revealed for the sake of the nobles." β
"My face?" Xu Xun was a little stunned at first, but soon understood: the masters didn't know about pairing food, but the people below knew it very clearly. After all, everyone is wearing red chamberlains, and Feng En is afraid that he has also heard of Wang Jin's marriage. So sending news to Wang Jin, isn't it just sending a message to Xu Xun?
She waved her hand first, not bothering about this with Grandma Sun, but only asked, "What the hell is going on!" β
Grandma Sun sighed, "Feng En himself doesn't know, he said, now that the entire palace city has been sealed, no one or anything is allowed to enter but not leave, and the imperial garden is guarded day and night, and as soon as the sun sets, all palaces are never allowed to enter or leave...... It was done on the day of the inspection of our Taisun Palace, that is, on that day, Lu Jieyu in the palace hanged herself, and she was accompanied by the big palace maid Yu next to her...... I don't know what happened, it seems like committing suicide in fear of sin! β
Suicide in fear of sin!
This is the same thing as in the play, Xu Xun never thought that it would happen to him. ββAs far as the education she has received is concerned, let alone suicide in fear of sin, Xiao Jieyu will not even participate in a little unseemly thing in her life, what kind of crime does it take to commit suicide in fear of sin? She was really a little confused, and couldn't help but stammer, "This...... They were all selected at the time, so why did they ...... Is this what happened? β
I couldn't help but tremble in my heart: she was also selected, if she became like that in the future, how would it be good......
I don't know how to describe this panic, Xu Xun didn't want to believe it on the one hand, and she was indeed a little unspeakably scared on the other hand, she thought that she thought that things would not reach this point anyway......
Mama Sun herself was also panicked, but she didn't notice Xu Xun's emotions, and Mama Qian, who was sitting on the side, frowned, and muttered a few times thoughtfully, "Lu Jieyu...... Could it be the same Lu Jieyu back then......"
Hearing this, there was a secret, Xu Xun suddenly became interested, and looked at Mama Qian with burning eyes.
"Hey-what you said, it seems that it was Lu Jieyu back then, could it be that it was done at that time?" Mama Sun also raised her voice.
Xu Xun was almost crazy, she said, "Can you stop playing dumb riddles, what the hell is going on!" β
The two grandmothers were a little too excited to see their master, but they were embarrassed to hang her anymore - this kind of thing is indeed quite terrifying, no wonder Xu Xun is so emotional.
"Actually." Mama Qian was also a little embarrassed, "In this palace, it's not like what I told you, it's always been so regular." Nobles, you are a group of show girls, and you pay special attention to teaching palace rules and morality, just because of the lessons of the past. When the emperor first won the world, the draft in the palace was also relatively casual, those women of the Xian tribe, those who did not understand Chinese culture, and the beauties of the people, regardless of their origin, as long as they were good-looking, they also wanted it. It's all about not teaching the rules, and when you see what you like, you pull it back, and the miscellaneous places are in one place, so it's just managed. β
After all, Mama Qian had served Empress Renxiao, and seeing Xu Xun's surprised expression, she defended her former master, "The queen's body has not been very good since the beginning of the dynasty, and there was no spare energy to discipline it at that time." It's also inexperienced, and I didn't think about it that much at all, just like that, seven or eight years ago, there was really an unseemly case in the palace, and more than 100 people died at that time. This matter has always been secretive in the palace, not to mention the nobles, even the palace people and middle-aged people who entered the palace a little later did not know. Trouble comes from the mouth, who dares to make themselves uncomfortable? β
Of course, several grandmothers are all old people in the palace, and they were also deacons in various palaces at that time, and they still know this matter in detail.
"In the past, the women who entered the palace of the Xian clan were no more favored than Concubine Gongxian. and a group of women selected by her to enter the palace, in fact, the emperor didn't like it, and he once said in person, 'fat fat, hemp hemp, short short', it's just that it was due to the feudal kingdom to offer, so what are the enclosures, beauties, Jieyu. Only Gong Xian Concubine was a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and she also sealed her family, the queen had passed away, Zhang Niangniang had a miscarriage and needed to recuperate, and Concubine Xian could help manage the affairs of the six palaces as soon as she entered the palace, and even the emperor could go with her. β
As a result, the good days have not been a year old, and Concubine Xian died of illness on the way back from the Northern Expedition. The emperor was naturally uncomfortable, and for a while, his temper was very irritable, and Wang Niangniang, as well as Zhang Niangniang, the two concubines who were the most respectful and most praised by the queen in the past, returned to the palace protectors everywhere, otherwise, I don't know how many people would have to die unjustly. Grandma Sun's face also darkened, "This matter has passed in the past, but three years later, someone complained to the emperor, saying that Concubine Xian died, and there was a secret behind it - she was deliberately murdered by someone who was put on arsenic!" β
Arsenic! Xu Xun was dizzy when he heard it: This thing is really like a drama, and now even the arsenic has come out. It's like she's in two shijies.
"It's arsenic." Mama Qian said, "When the emperor heard it, he must have gone to investigate, saying that it was leaked when the slaves and maids were arguing, and it seemed that Liu Siqing was asked to investigate at that time, and it was found out that it was indeed colluded with the eunuchs to buy arsenic, and bought the personal slaves and maids to put them in the medicine of the virtuous concubine...... Look, noble, can the emperor not be angry about such a big matter? The murderer's first palace is gone, and all the slaves and maids around the original concubine are all found and killed. A total of more than 100 people were killed back then, and everyone in the palace was killed, but this is not enough, because it was found out that it was done by a beautiful woman who paid tribute from the Xian tribe, and he had to bring a message back to North Korea and let them kill their families together! β
Xu Xun's hair exploded when he heard this, "Then isn't this all over?"
"It's not over." Grandma Sun shook her head with a gloomy face. "Lu Meiren, who found out to be the real murderer, although her temperament is also flying, she is not very obedient. But she can't even speak official words very well, and there are no slaves and maids around her who can speak Korean, how can she collude with eunuchs in the palace? On the same day, even Zhang Niangniang personally said, 'This matter, I'm afraid it's not so simple behind it'. However, the emperor Tianwei, who would dare to offend? After only checking for so long, so many people died, and if I continue to investigate, I am afraid that more people will suffer. So no one said anything, this Lu Meiren couldn't understand official language and couldn't defend herself, the emperor ordered to burn her with a soldering iron for a month, and burned her alive......"
Xu Xun couldn't help but want to vomit a little - although the power of heaven is unpredictable, she was close when the emperor was angry, but after all, it was anger towards others, and it had nothing to do with her Xu Xun, and even the emperor still liked her a little. In her heart, in addition to fear of the emperor, she also had a little respect and closeness, but now, when she heard Grandma Sun's words, that closeness was immediately replaced by fear. If you want to kill, you will kill it, and you will be burned to death with a soldering iron......
"Later, our old sisters also discussed in private, who would do this?" Grandma Sun also shook lightly before continuing. "Lu Meiren can't speak official language, and she has no dealings with the people in the palace, let alone offend anyone, who wants to harm her like this? Thinking about it, the only one who has offended is the Lu Gong people - when Lu Meiren first entered the palace, the Lu Gong people felt that the two of them had the same surname, so it was better to take care of each other as sisters. As a result, Lu Meiren couldn't understand what she was saying at all, so she refused in a daze. This incident was rumored to be a laughing stock in the court at that time, and they all ridiculed the people of Lu Gong for being the wrong person. At that time, the people of the Lu Palace were not very favored, and they still had close contacts with the palace maids and eunuchs who served......"
The palace is still very particular about identity, for example, Xu Xun, her current identity is to talk to eunuchs, and she has to find Wang Jin, people with the identities of Jin Ying and Ma Shi, ordinary eunuchs who carry water can't take care of it at all, even if she is willing to take care of it, others don't dare to reply. Therefore, it must be a relatively low-level concubine in order to have a relationship with this kind of miscellaneous eunuch or something. After analyzing it in this way, it is true that Lu Jieyu is very suspicious, of course, this is just an analysis, and there must be no real evidence. No one would go too far to talk about this kind of analysis.
Now, Lu Jieyu hanged herself with the palace maids close to her, and it was as if a big storm had been uncovered, and the matter did not end with their deaths, but became more and more troublesome. Xu Xun didn't understand Weishenme a little: even if Lu Meiren was wronged back then, it was Lu Jieyu who framed her, and now this matter is out again. But what does this have to do with the Taisun Palace and the Taigong? Why do you want to check on them, not to mention, the real murderers are dead, and now they are even more noisy?
Her questions are also the questions of the grandmothers, and that's all Grandma Sun knows. "Feng En doesn't seem to know anything else, but he doesn't dare to say it at all. Anyway, we just have a rough idea of what's going on, so let's leave nothing else to worry about. β
Mama Qian also echoed meaningfully, "It's better to be confused and do things......"
Xu Xun shuddered, and immediately decided, "This matter will end here, in fact, Eunuch Feng said that he thanked me, I think he still wants to make amends to the eldest brother, or let me say something good to the eldest brother." What affection do I have for him that he deserves to thank me? I'll say a few good words to my eldest brother another day, and it's over, and the news he said, Wang Jin will naturally say it to his eldest brother? β
No matter what Wang Jin said, he was the grandson's companion, and the news passed through his hand, which was equivalent to being known by the grandson, and several grandmothers glanced at each other, and they all acquiesced to Xu Xun's disposal method, and Qian Mama said, "The nobles are getting more and more ideas-this is also a good thing." Now in this palace, people don't have any ideas, and they don't know where to go. It's just that there is a sentence that you said wrong, noblemanβ"
Seeing Xu Xun's eyes widen in surprise, Mama Qian smiled slightly, "Now, the reputation of the nobles among the officials is very good, they all say that you are a blessed kind person, and it doesn't matter if you have the blue eyes of the emperor, even your husband favors you, which shows your character, which is extremely valuable." Now, even Feng En has accepted your favor, it seems that our life in Yichun Palace will be better in the future. β
Xu Xun is actually confused, he doesn't know what to do right, but he makes himself very confused. She couldn't help but be a little happy in her heart, and a little frightened, after thinking about it, she shuddered and muttered, "Although this is a good thing, it is not a good thing, you look at that Lu Meiren, if you don't do one thing well, you will cause death." If I inadvertently offend someone......"
The author has something to say: Xiang Ma is out of the horse, a top trick.
The cheers of the Xiexie children made me feel like a samurai in gold armor, with a golden sword in his hand and brushing the ground......
Hehe, I want to do more, looking at the wet eyes of the children, it's like looking at the big eyes of our kittens, yellow, orange, and orange, which is unbearable, but if I pet you, then my little fragrance will go crazy, so, it's still ...... Children, just one more. Be content, Xiaoxiang can keep changing after going out for a few days, which is very good.
