Chapter 182: Death

As the two eunuchs rushed to tell each other, the news of Concubine Shu's death spread throughout the palace overnight. Everyone was surprised that this concubine who was very deep in the city before she went crazy and arrogant after she went crazy died.

Her death, like everyone else, didn't attract too many people's attention, it's not that they didn't pay attention, it's that people are dying every day in the palace, even if it is a high-ranking concubine, her death will only be reduced to everyone's after-dinner conversation.

Soon, the news of this death, which was the biggest death in the palace, also reached the ears of Gonggong Wei. He was quite shocked when he learned the news, and he didn't believe that Concubine Shu would commit suicide at all.

Of course, Gonggong Wei was not the only one who learned the news, and the news naturally flowed into Wanjun's ears. But Wanjun was not surprised at all, in addition to some self-blame, she was secretly happy in her heart.

This is the result she wants most, her death can get him out, so that Chunqiu can have a chance to breathe.

He wanted to pour himself a cup of tea, but because he was too scared, his hands kept shaking, and after pouring a cup of tea for a long time, he was still dissatisfied. He simply threw the tea party aside and sat irritably.

"Concubine Shu, I said that I would not let you die in vain, your death will definitely go down in history."

He walked to the door and opened it, and it was already morning outside. That's when he realized he hadn't slept all night. The two eunuchs were still guarding the door, looking at their appearance, I thought that they were not affected by the news of Concubine Shu's death, but they looked a little tired.

Gonggong Wei quickly rushed to the palace of the concubine, and before he could enter, he found that the door was open.

The weather hasn't yet reached autumn, and you may feel the chill from autumn. It may be due to the rain, or it may be that the death of Concubine Shu made the weather colder. In short, this sudden chill still made Gonggong Wei feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Step by step, he approached the door, and the situation inside the door seemed to be very bad, and an aggressive momentum burst out from inside. The sense of oppression made this place dead and silent, and the inexplicable panic made Gonggong Wei's heart tremble.

He has killed many people over the years, and he has never felt such suffocating. Maybe he's old, and he's no longer so fearless in the face of life and death.

He still walked to the door, and before he could go in, he saw Concubine Shu hanging on the beam. The wind was very strong, and it blew his body and moved a few times.

"Factory man, don't go in, it's not clean here!"

The little eunuch who followed him said.

"No, we have to go in and take a look for ourselves!"

He glanced at the corpse of Concubine Shu hanging on the beam, and walked in helplessly shaking his head.

"Concubine Shu, our family didn't mean to harm you, and we didn't want you to die!"

He walked in and looked up at the red-clothed concubine, still very uncomfortable. Even if she can't stand being placed under house arrest, she won't choose to commit suicide!

The red clothes fluttered in the cold wind, like a lamentation, swaying lonely in sorrow.

His hand lightly touched the table, as if electrocuted, and quickly retracted.

Suddenly, he saw a letter on the table, pressed by a jade bracelet. He gently removed the jade bracelet, picked up the letter and read it.

When he finished reading it, he realized that Concubine Shu committed suicide not because he put her under house arrest here, but because she committed suicide in fear of sin.

Concubine Shu actually colluded with the Donglin Party, which he never expected. But why did she commit suicide so suddenly? Before he could investigate the matter, she committed suicide early.

"Concubine Shu, since you are dead, our family will not embarrass you. However, you are dead, but you and the Donglin Party are not over yet. Our family will not give up pursuing this matter because of your suicide. This matter is very involved, there must be someone behind the scenes, there is the person who forced you to death......"

Father-in-law Wei couldn't witness the comfort being hung on it, he had watched the lives and deaths of countless people over the years, but he was still sad to see today's scene.

"Xiao Guangzi, come over and take Concubine Shu off from above."

He turned to look at him and said.

"Yes, Gonggong!"

Xiao Guangzi hurriedly ran over and picked up Concubine Shu, he put her on the ground as a corpse, and stood aside silently.

Grandpa Wei walked over tremblingly, slowly leaned down and squatted down, looking at her face.

"Lady Concubine, Concubine Shu, do you know that you don't have to die, but once you die, not only will this matter not end, but our family will continue to investigate!"

He pulled up her messy clothes and wiped the tears from her face.

"Concubine, you have been taken advantage of. Although our family doesn't know who this person is, our family will definitely find out this person. We know that you have nothing to do with this matter, but now it seems that you can only bear this pot! ”

He had a premonition in his heart that the enemy was close by, but he didn't know who this person was.

But it doesn't matter, now that Concubine Shu is dead, this person must have relaxed his vigilance, as long as he continues to investigate, the truth will definitely surface. When the time comes, he and the people of the Donglin Party will be in a pot.

"Xiao Guangzi, you will bury Concubine Shu in the imperial mausoleum, don't make a public announcement about this matter, just say that she suddenly fell ill and died violently in the palace......"

He walked to the door and looked at the glare of the sky.

"It's a good day! The sky was clear overnight......"

Father-in-law Wei stepped on the water accumulated in the depression and returned to the East Factory.

Xiao Guangzi said while sorting out Concubine Shu's body: "This good person, how can he say that he committed suicide?" ”

......

"Male concubine, you are free!"

The little eunuch at the door yelled at Wanjun.

"What?"

Wanjun ran to the door in a panic, opened the door and asked, "Am I free?" ”

"Yes, you're free......"

The two little eunuchs had already walked far away, and he looked at their backs, feeling a little lonely.

Although they are gone, the shackles in his heart are not gone. He didn't know what he had done, but Concubine Shu's death not only didn't make her feel better, but made him feel guilty in his heart.

He walked out the door and looked at the blue sky after the rain, but his heart was not clear. He was sorry for Concubine Shu, as if he was entangled in something.

But he still has to be glad, if it weren't for Concubine Shu's death, how could he be exchanged for his freedom? He was so happily carried away all at once.

He walked out of the Jade Washing Palace, walked under the clean red wall and green tiles, and his eyes suddenly became clean. He gently touched the red wall with one hand, and thought of Concubine Shu in his heart. He was afraid that Concubine Shu would come back to him at midnight, and that my conscience would one day be so restless that I would not be able to sleep.

He stopped as he walked, he leaned against the wall and remembered a lot, the most of which was his original intention from entering the palace to the present. Does he still have a heart? Is it still Du Wanjun?

He laughed a few times in fear, and then crouched in the corner with tears in his eyes.

"Du Wanjun? What happened to you? Where is it uncomfortable? ”

A deep, melancholy voice came.

When he heard the voice, he looked up and saw that it was the queen standing in front of him.

He smiled weakly, looked at her eyes and asked, "Where is the queen going?" ”

"Don't you know? Concubine Shu committed suicide, and this palace is going to see her for the last time. Why, don't you know yet? ”

The queen stood beside him like a bodhisattva, and no one could tell what she looked like under her bodhisattva face.

"I, I ......"

He couldn't speak, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he didn't know how to say it. Because every word he says is a blasphemy against the dead.

Concubine Shu is dead, he framed him to death, and every word he says will be pale and weak.

"What's wrong with the male concubine? Why do you talk so much? ”

The queen saw this strong Du Wanjun on weekdays, but she couldn't even speak today.

"I, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired......"

He looked up into her eyes and said.

"Wanjun, why don't you go with the palace to see Concubine Shu for the last time. She is also pitiful and commits suicide for no reason! ”

The news of Concubine Shu's suicide also reached the queen's ears, and she was very surprised, a good person, no matter how he said that he committed suicide, he committed suicide.

But she didn't know what the reason for Concubine Shu's suicide was said, and of course she didn't know that Wanjun framed her to death.

"Huh?"

Wanjun was quite frightened when he heard it, the horror in his eyes that could not be concealed, and the fear on his face made the queen feel very strange.

"Wanjun, what's wrong with you? Something feels wrong with you? ”

The queen asked, puzzled.

"No, it's nothing, I'm just uncomfortable......"

The queen did not look quite right with him, but she didn't know what was going on. She thought that it was because she heard the news of Concubine Shu's suicide that he became like this.

"Wanjun, you don't have to be too sad, people can't be resurrected after death, as long as you always think about him in your heart!"

Every word the queen said beside him was poking at his heart. He didn't want to hear anything about Concubine Shu anymore, but he was afraid of even the words about her.

"Wanjun, are you going with this palace? Take a look at Concubine Shu for the last time, it should be for him to see him off! ”

Her eyes lit up as she spoke, but every word he said seemed like mockery of him.

"No, no, that, I'...... You go first, my body feels a little uncomfortable! ”

He laughed wildly, trying to hide his fears. But his conscience condemned him incessantly, and his soul was burned.

"In that case, this palace won't embarrass you. It must be hard to see you like this, right? Take a good rest and don't dwell on your grief for too long! ”

The queen comforted him like a gentle mother, and there is no doubt that her words brought Wanjun to tears. He is sad, self-blaming, annoyed, and remorseful, he can cry in front of her, and he can release his long-suppressed feelings without concealment.

"Silly boy, I'm also sad about Concubine Shu's death, but people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad!"

The queen came over and hugged his head and gently patted him on the back. She also shed tears with him, but the reasons for their tears were very different.

"Queen Mother, I'm very uncomfortable and remorseful......"

He wept silently in the arms of the queen, and if he was given another chance, he would definitely not frame Concubine Shu. But now that Concubine Shu is dead, he can only grieve in vain.

"Silly boy, Buddha Pudu sentient beings, will also Pudu Shufei! She will go to Elysium and suffer no more......"

The Queen's words lingered in his ears until he fell asleep, and her words were still whispering softly in his ears!
