I often go to the palace of the letter concubine, today is rare to come to the letter concubine extraordinarily enthusiastic, Xue Yan lying on the couch peacefully practicing words heard the voice and wanted to throw herself into my arms, the letter concubine smiled and pulled Xue Yan, said: "No, it will hurt the younger brother in the mother's womb." ”

I smiled and waved my hand, Xue Ci happily ran over, snuggled up to my side and raised her little face and said, "Beautiful mother, Eniang said that the mother concubine's belly is a younger brother, great, I can hold my brother to play in the future." ”

I stroked Xue Yan's face and said kindly: "It's a younger sister, it's not certain, if my sister can be as well-behaved as you, it would be good." ”

Concubine Xin sat down beside her, and said to Xue Yan lovingly: "There is no one who looks out of character, the more your mother praises you, the more you gain face, and the more you learn to behave." ”

I sat lazily on the couch with my waist on my back, and after the palace maid served tea, the concubine said slowly: "Now that your body is much heavier, it is better to go out less." ”

I smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Niangniang, I really don't want to move around because I'm very tired, but I heard that the palace maid Biqing disappeared that day." ”

A trace of surprise flashed across Concubine Xin's face, and then she let out a faint "oh" and said with a smile: "Biqing? The palace hasn't heard of her missing, it's just a palace maid, we don't have to bother, the head of the inner court will investigate this matter. ”

I said coldly, "Really? Then he glanced sarcastically at Xin Guifei to meet her evasive gaze, and Xin Guifei unnaturally lowered her head and fiddled with the cuffs embroidered with chrysanthemums.

Concubine Xin coughed slightly, and said to the maid beside her, "Take Gege out to play." The maid took the reluctant Xue Yan out with interest. Concubine Xin looked at me suspiciously: "This palace doesn't understand what you mean, Biqing is just a palace maid, is it possible that this palace has to ask in person?" ”

I picked up the small poem written by Xue Yan on the table, and it was written in a delicate and immature font:

My family washes inkstones, pond trees, flowers bloom, and light ink marks

Don't let people praise the good color, just leave the air full of goodness

I smiled and said with a smile: "Xue Yan is really a good girl, she can tell the right and wrong of things at such a young age, and she also knows how to keep a clean breath in others, Niang Niang is really a blessing, it's just ....." I glanced at her hesitantly, and then said: "It's just that Xue Yan would have happened if she knew that her mother was a vicious person?" ”

Concubine Xin paused slightly, slapped her hand on the table with a "snap", and pointed at me with an angry face: "What are you talking about?" How can you insult this palace, this palace treats you as your own sister, and you actually say such things. ”

I laughed coldly: "What a sister of your own family, you worked hard to get rid of the child in my womb, and bribed Biqing to exonerate yourself, you want to frame Concubine Ru to kill two birds with one stone, but you killed the innocent Yingchun and Yun Guiren, do you still remember what Yun Guiren looked like when he died?" I've never liked Yun Guiren, but now I think she is much more noble than yours, Xin Guifei, you ....."

"Enough!" Concubine Xin interrupted me viciously, and she frowned in annoyance: "If you are here to question this palace and wronged this palace, then this palace will not send guests, and if you are pregnant, this palace will not care about you!" Shape up or ship out. ”

Gently straightened the mutton fat hosta on the sideburns, I laughed out loud, and said in the ear of the noble concubine: "Biqing is in my hands, she has already admitted what she did, I can hand her over to the emperor, but we are still a sisterhood, for the sake of Xue Yan, I will suppress this matter, the essence of the concubine is not bad, it must be the wrong idea, so I give you a chance, I hope you can repent of what you did." ”

I got up and left, turned around and glanced at the dull-faced Concubine Xin and left without looking back, sometimes we are reluctant to explore the truth of the matter, because the truth hurts more than one person.

The water in the Yinyue Pond in the courtyard is exceptionally clear, and there are dozens of fish, and I stand outside the pond and sprinkle fragments of food into the pond to feed the fish, as a way to relieve the boring life.

Xiao Anzi came behind him and whispered: "Master, Concubine Xin sent someone to send some exquisite dishes, and the person who came said that he was apologizing to the master, and said that the master would understand." ”

I nodded lightly, glanced back at the food in Xiao Anzi's food box, reached over and took a stack of horseshoe cakes, glanced at the dozen or so fish gathered in the water in front of me, crushed them and sprinkled them in the water, and the fish grabbed them like crazy.

When he turned around to leave, Xiao Anzi exclaimed: "Master, look, this fish has turned over." I followed the prestige, and sure enough, the fish that had just eaten the horseshoe cake all turned white and died, my body trembled, and the plate in my hand fell to the ground with the sound.

I thought for a moment and said coldly, "Take all the food to Imperial Doctor Liang for examination." Xiao Anzi nervously wiped a handful of sweat and retreated, I glanced at the fish in the pond, and my heart was heavy.

Xiao Anzi walked in worriedly and said slowly: "Master, those dishes are all poisonous, the master is really lucky and has nothing to say, so what should we do now?" ”

The hand gently massaged the temples, and there were so many things that had happened since I was pregnant, and I was overwhelmed with nightmares. Even Concubine Xin, who was originally quite lenient, was calculating me, and I really didn't know what to do. Fu Feng put his arm around my shoulder comfortingly: "Master, sometimes you really shouldn't be soft-hearted, but you will harm yourself." ”

After a while, I slowly said to Xiao Anzi: "Go ahead and tell the emperor about this." ”

Xiao Anzi sent it to Yongyan along with the dishes, and brought Biqing over, Biqing confessed to his crime in front of Yongyan, and the human and material evidence were all in the letter Guifei did not deny it, and calmly waited for Yongyan's surrender. Biqing was imprisoned and executed in the autumn, while Concubine Xin was given death for murdering concubines and instigating murder.

At dusk, I stood outside the palace gate of Concubine Xin, and was hesitating to go in, when the door of the palace was suddenly opened, and Concubine Xin stood in the door, dressed in moonlight white plain clothes, and glanced at me lightly, without a trace of expression on her face, and said, "Come in." ”

I followed behind her without saying a word, and Concubine Xin said lightly: "I know what you want to ask, you just want to know why I want to hurt you, right?" ”

I nodded slightly, and Concubine Xin suddenly laughed, turned around and asked, "Jin promises, you really say it, do you want to be the queen?" ”

I shook my head with an almost mocking laugh, and said, "Could it be that you became like this because you want to be the queen, do you think that if you kill me, you will be happy?" ”

Concubine Xin stood in front of the window and glanced at the vines growing outside the window, and said with a smile: "I am a concubine, in addition to Concubine Ru in the palace, I am the most capable and qualified, as long as I use you to get rid of the throne of Concubine Ru, the queen is mine, but I didn't expect you to escape twice, I didn't want to hurt you the second time, that's because you know my secret, so I have to kill the killer, if you don't die, I will be in trouble." ”

I looked at Concubine Xin with a painful heart, I never thought that we would have such a relative day, I sighed: "Do you think you will become the queen smoothly, you are not the only one who wants to be the queen, will Concubine Ru let you go, what's the use of you killing me, you have blood on your hands, what will you do with Xue Yan in the future?" If you repent, if Xue Yan asks about you, I will tell her that her mother is just confused and has done something wrong. ”

Concubine Xin's body trembled, tears slowly fell, and she cried: "My Xue Yan, my Xue Yan, you take care of my Xue Yan, and I will repay you in the next life." ”

I glanced at the sky and was silent: we will never find a pure land again.
