Chapter 29: Concubine Xia's Troubles

Song Jiu's words made Concubine Hui fall into deep thought, and for a long time, she figured out something, only to see her raise her head and say, "Your Majesty, you are right, everyone has their own life, and I am worried about the sky." ”

Song Jiu smiled faintly and replied: "It's best if the concubine can figure it out, the concubine of the Tianshan Snow Lotus will take care of it, I hope you can recover soon." ”

Song Jiu stood up and said, "I will take my leave first." ”

Concubine Hui looked at Song Jiu quietly, and she suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, how is the relationship between you and Mrs. Gu?" ”

Song Jiu was stunned, she didn't expect Concubine Hui to suddenly ask like this, she hesitated for a long time before she said, "Mrs. Gu has always been dedicated to assisting me, and I have a very good relationship with him. ”

Concubine Hui smiled faintly, "Is the emperor serious?" ”

Song Jiu was silent for a moment before he nodded, "Hmm! ”

Concubine Hui's eyes became a little distant, "Your Majesty, no matter what, I want to remind you that you still have to be more wary of Mrs. Gu in the future, no matter what, don't trust him too much!" ”

"Why did the concubine say that?" Song Jiu couldn't help but ask.

Concubine Hui just pulled her coat and said, "The emperor doesn't have to ask so much, anyway, you just need to remember what I said." ”

Song Jiu's doubts in her heart became bigger and bigger, but no matter how much she asked Concubine Hui, she didn't want to say anything more, so Song Jiu could only turn around and walk out of the dormitory.

In the courtyard, Song Jiu happened to bump into Lin Sang walking back alone, and she couldn't help asking, "Lin Sang, where is the steward of the Minglan Palace?" Didn't I tell you to bring them here? ”

"Your Majesty, you don't need to see them, the servants have already interrogated them about the specific situation of Concubine Hui, and they have all honestly explained to the slaves."

"So what the hell is going on with all this?" Song Jiu asked.

"Someone deliberately instructed them to torture Concubine Hui!" Lin Sang replied.

"Is this person the Empress Dowager Fu?"

Song Jiu felt that except for Empress Dowager Fu to do this kind of thing, there should be no one else in this harem who would target Concubine Hui, after all, Concubine Hui had lived in the Minglan Hall with a pure heart for so many years, and she couldn't stand in anyone's way at all.

Lin Sang shook his head and replied, "It's not Empress Dowager Fu, it's ......."

Lin Sang looked at Song Jiu and stopped talking, but Song Jiu guessed seven or eight points from his expression, "It's my mother, isn't it!" ”

"That's right!" Lin Sang said in a deep voice: "Those stewards all said that Concubine Xia ordered them to torture Concubine Hui, especially when Concubine Xia learned that Concubine Hui was seriously ill, and specially told the people below not to ask Concubine Hui for a doctor, and it was best to let Concubine Hui die directly in bed!" ”

"The mother concubine had a grudge with Concubine Hui before?"

"The slave doesn't know, the slave has never heard anyone discuss Concubine Hui's past since she entered the palace, and I don't know if she and Concubine Xia had a holiday, but Concubine Xia and Concubine Hui were sent to the palace together, the difference is that Concubine Xia was favored as soon as she entered the palace, and Concubine Hui has been forgotten by the emperor in this remote Minglan Palace, it stands to reason that the two should have no grudges."

"Lin Sang, you can find out about the old man in the palace in the past few days and see if you can ask anything."

Song Jiu thought for a while and said, "It seems that I have to visit my mother again." ”

In the Qingxin Palace, Concubine Xia was losing her temper, she directly picked up the teacup and threw it at the kneeling steward in front of her, Mama Li, "Useless things, Lin Sang just scared you a few words, and you actually explained all the things that Concubine Ben asked you to make things difficult for Concubine Hui." ”

Mama Li was directly hit by the teacup, her forehead was suddenly broken, blood was left in the corners of her eyes, the tea was hot, splashed on her face and body, she was so hot that her body trembled, but she didn't dare to scream in pain.

Mama Li knew that Concubine Xia in front of her only looked weak on the surface, but her methods of punishing people were very ruthless, often making life worse than death.

Mama Li could only kowtow and beg for mercy, "Concubine spare her life!" The old slave didn't know why the emperor suddenly intervened in the matter of Concubine Hui, this Chief Lin directly used the emperor and Gu Taifu to suppress the old slave, and the old slave was relieved for a while, it was the old slave who deserved to die. ”

"What did you say?" Concubine Xia asked, "Did the emperor and Mrs. Gu send Lin Sang to investigate this matter?" ”

"That's right, the emperor also went to the Minglan Palace today to visit Concubine Hui's condition."

Concubine Xia sneered, "Concubine Ben is frail and sick all the year round, and when she is serious, she takes medicine on the couch every day, and she can't go anywhere, and Concubine Ben has never seen the emperor come up to visit once, and now these irrelevant people are sick, she has the heart to visit." ”

Mama Li didn't know how to answer Concubine Xia's words, she could only kneel there with her head down, and Concubine Xia stared at her for a long time before asking, "In addition to this matter, have you said anything nonsense?" ”

Mama Li immediately shook her head and replied, "No, the old slave told Lin Sang about this matter, and the others would never dare to say more." ”

Concubine Xia glared at her and said coldly, "You are still a little clever." ”

Concubine Xia waved her hand to signal that the steward could leave, but at this moment, a palace maid hurriedly ran in and reported: "Concubine Qiyu, Mrs. Gu is here and says she wants to see you." ”

"How did he come?" Concubine Xia was a little surprised, but also a little happy, she spoke: "Hurry up and invite the Taifu in." ”

Concubine Xia walked directly to the dresser, she wanted to go to Mama Li before she left, so she said coldly: "Why don't you get out quickly." ”

Mama Li hurriedly got up and walked out, Concubine Xia didn't punish her, she was already glad.

Concubine Xia carefully examined her whole body, she picked up a comb to straighten out her somewhat messy hair, tidied up her clothes again, and made up rouge, and when she was done with everything, Concubine Xia sat down on the couch, her face was calm, but she was a little excited in her heart, and her eyes kept staring at the palace door.

It didn't take long for the door of the temple to be opened, and Gu Shengan strode in.

"Sheng An, why did you think of visiting me today?" Concubine Xia smiled softly and asked.

Gu Shengan stared at Concubine Xia for a while, and said, "Concubine Xia, I can't figure you out more and more now, what do you want to do?" ”

Concubine Xia frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Song Yan was allergic to camellia not long ago, and now his face is covered with red spots, do you know about it?"

"How do I know that!" Concubine Xia said coldly: "Song Yan never takes me as a concubine in her eyes, and she never tells me anything even if she has anything." ”

Gu Shengan sneered and replied: "Song Yan used to be allergic to shepherd's cabbage, and since then, I have ordered the imperial chef in the imperial dining room to prohibit the purchase of shepherd's cabbage, and her meals have never had problems for so many years, but yesterday, in the dishes served to her in the imperial dining room, almost every dish was mixed with shepherd's cabbage!" ”
