Chapter 129: Concubine Wan commits suicide
Yun Xiyue had already made up her mind to marry An Jingxuan, and since the banquet was given, she has been looking forward to getting married as soon as possible.
But he never imagined that just a few days after the banquet, another major event suddenly happened in the palace.
Wan Guifei committed suicide!
When Yun Xiyue heard the report and hurried to the cold palace, Concubine Wan was already out of breath.
"Mother!" Yun Xiyue lay on top of Concubine Wan's corpse and wept bitterly.
She originally thought that in a few days, she would secretly enter the cold palace after finding the opportunity and tell Concubine Wan Guifei the news that she was going to get married, but she never thought that such a change would suddenly occur.
"Father, my daughter doesn't believe that her mother will really commit suicide at all, my father must investigate this matter clearly and give justice to my mother!"
Looking at Emperor Yun who entered the cold palace, as well as Queen Chu, Yun Xiyue hurriedly stepped forward.
Now that Concubine Wan has been beaten into the cold palace, it stands to reason that even if she commits suicide in the cold palace, Emperor Yun does not need money, but firstly, because her identity as a concubine has not been completely taken away, and secondly, because of Yun Xiyue, so Emperor Yun will come.
"What's going on?" Emperor Yun looked at the corpse of Concubine Wan, and there was a touch of pain in his eyes.
If he really didn't have the slightest affection for Concubine Wan in his heart, this would naturally be false. But after all the previous things, he has already been discouraged and disappointed, and now he doesn't have much reluctance in his heart.
"Emperor Qiqi, when the minions entered the cold palace early this morning, they found that Concubine Wan had committed suicide by hanging herself." The eunuch on the side hurriedly knelt down to report.
"It's just nonsense, how could a good mother kill herself!" Yun Xiyue said sharply, "Didn't you dog minions kill my mother!" ”
"The third princess is aware of it, how can the minions have such courage."
"The minions are wronged, the concubine Niangniang, she did commit suicide and died."
Several minions on the side immediately knelt down and shouted injustice.
"Is it because you usually abuse my mother in the cold palace, that's why you caused her to commit suicide!" Yun Xiyue stretched out her hand and pointed at one of the minions, "Don't hurry up and explain honestly, otherwise this princess will make none of you live!" ”
"That's it!" Emperor Yun frowned and looked at Yun Xiyue unhappily, "Your mother has an accident now, I can understand your feelings, but you are the eldest princess after all, pay attention to your demeanor." ”
"Father......" Yun Xiyue gritted her teeth, "Do you really believe that the mother concubine committed suicide?" ”
"Third princess, these minions have already said that Concubine Wan committed suicide by hanging a beam, not to mention that in this cold palace, although it is not heavily guarded, there are also people patrolling back and forth, and no one can sneak in casually." Empress Chu tried her best to maintain a gentle tone and persuaded her to speak.
"How does the queen mother know that no one can sneak in, not to mention these guards and minions, won't anyone instruct her, as the lord of the six palaces, the queen mother has so much power in her hands, it should be very simple to casually instruct individuals to think about it!"
"What do you mean by this, the third princess?" Empress Chu's face was slightly cold, "Could it be that you still think that this palace sent someone to kill your mother?" ”
"I don't know if the queen mother really thinks it, my father wanted to let the mother concubine out before, but it was because of the queen mother that the mother who was harmed continued to stay in the cold palace, maybe this time you also had killing intent, you ......"
"Enough!" Emperor Yun interrupted Yun Xiyue's words in an angry voice, "Do you know what nonsense you are talking about now!" ”
Yun Xiyue was stunned for a moment, "Father, my daughter just wants to seek justice for her mother!" ”
"I originally thought about the fact that you had just lost your mother, and I didn't want to care more about your words and deeds, but I didn't expect that what you said became more and more arrogant." Emperor Yun's eyes were mixed with anger, "The queen is the lord of the six palaces, how can she allow you to slander and suspect at will." ”
"The emperor doesn't have to be angry, I think the third princess is also because of the pain of losing her mother for a while, and the concubines don't care." Queen Chu paused, looked at Yun Xiyue, and continued to speak, "But the third princess had better be cautious, no matter what, this palace is your nominal queen mother, there is no evidence, you can bite at will, if such a reputation spreads, it will not be good for the third princess." ”
The reason why Yun Xiyue was able to say those words just now was only because of a moment of grief and anger, and now that she was admonished by Emperor Yun and Queen Chu, the whole person suddenly calmed down, and she couldn't help but feel a little afraid in her heart.
"The father forgives the sin, and the daughter just now was just because she was too sad for a while, so she didn't choose to speak." Yun Xiyue gritted her teeth and lowered her head, "But the father and the emperor's daughter still feel that the matter of the mother concubine's sudden suicide is really a bit strange, and I hope that the father can see it and give the mother a justice." ”
"I will ask people about this matter, but Concubine Wan has already been sent to the cold palace, and this matter is not allowed to make a big fuss, understand?" Emperor Yun sighed in his heart as he spoke.
He just gave Xiyue a marriage a few days ago, and now such a thing has happened in this knotted eye, which is really difficult to do. According to the rules, filial piety must be observed, and it seems that the matter of marriage will be postponed.
Leaving the cold palace, Yun Xiyue soon returned to Feiluan Palace, and her heart was full of grief.
And soon, the news of Concubine Wan's suicide spread in the palace. Because Concubine Wan has now been sent to the cold palace, the funeral can only be dealt with simply.
This is the case in the harem, even if the scenery was infinite before, but as long as the favor is lost, not many people will pay attention to it. Compared with the news of Concubine Wan's sudden suicide, everyone is more willing to discuss Yun Xiyue's marriage.
After all, although Concubine Wan was beaten into the cold palace, she was still Yun Xiyue's biological mother, once Yun Xiyue wanted to keep filial piety, the shortest period would be one year, which meant that An Jingxuan would have to wait for Yun Xiyue for a whole year.
"Princess, speaking of which, Concubine Wan's suicide is too sudden."
In the imperial garden, listening to the discussions of the palace maids and eunuchs passing by on the other road, Qiu'er sighed with emotion.
I'm afraid that the third princess is ready to marry happily in her heart, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly.
Yun Qingyan nodded, "I didn't expect that she would suddenly commit suicide." ”
Judging from her previous contact with Concubine Wan, the other party does not seem to be a person who is willing to commit suicide, not to mention that although she was beaten into the cold palace, Concubine Wan is not defeated, there is no possibility, at least she can rely on her mother's family. It's no wonder that Yun Xiyue has doubts in her heart, even if she seems to have this matter, she feels a little strange.
Qiu'er was stunned for a moment, "Princess, do you mean that there may be any inside story about Concubine Wan's suicide?" ”
