Chapter 160: Concubine Qi's Secret (2)

Seeing Shen Lan away, Shen Wan nodded slightly to Cui Shanggong, and then said to Chun'er and Xiangming: "You wait in the Chen Palace, and you will go back to the palace." ”

"Yes." There is not much doubt that the duty of the handmaid is to follow the instructions of the queen.

Shen Wan and Cui Shanggong walked to the Jin Palace one after the other, this palace has no main seat, and the one who lives here is the Qi concubine who is known as the "ominous person". Feng Cairen used to live here, but because he angered Shen Wan and Xichen, he was sent to the cold palace.

So now here, only Concubine Qi lives.

The palace is empty, and there are very few palace maids and eunuchs, since they were called ominous people, the palace maids and eunuchs around Concubine Qi used all their relationships to transfer out of here. The rest except for Su'e, who is a little palace maid who has no silver and no way to leave here.

Su'e was waiting for Shen Wan at the gate of the palace, and after seeing her, she knelt down and bowed.

Shen Wan's attitude towards her was not bad, but she didn't have the previous gentleness, she just asked indifferently: "Concubine Qi wants to see this palace?" ”

Su'e lowered her head and said, "Yes." ”

Shen Wan didn't speak again, and walked in.

Qi Concubine sat by the window, a few pots of flowers and plants were placed on the windowsill, and the dim light shone through the mottled shadows, shining on Qi Concubine's soft side face, like a decaying pink lotus.

She held her hair in a simple bun, only casually put a jade hairpin, and she was still wearing a homely skirt in the blue color of the rain and sky. It's not like the concubines in this secluded palace at all, but like the housewives of ordinary people.

Cui Shanggong frowned, coughed lightly and said, "The queen has arrived!" ”

Concubine Qi turned her face at this time, and Shen Wan vaguely saw that her eyes were a little red, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes.

"The concubines see the queen's mother, the queen's mother is blessed with Jin'an." A shallow salute, a gentle compliment.

The corners of Shen Wan's mouth curved, she understood that there was nothing wrong with letting that person die.

Cui Shanggong was very dissatisfied with Concubine Qi's attitude and was just about to reprimand. Shen Wan shook her head slightly, walked slowly to Concubine Qi's side, and sat down on a chair next to her.

"I heard that you want to see Hongu."

Qi Concubine slowly stood up, bowed her head to Shen Wan, and said in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Shen Wan raised her eyebrows and asked, "How do you know that this palace will definitely see you?" ”

Concubine Qi took a deep breath and said slowly: "The concubine believes in Niangniang, and Niangniang knows the sins of the concubine, but she hides it for the concubine. also gave Su'e to the concubine, although the concubine did not know Niangniang's true intentions, but Niangniang would not let the concubine die, and the concubine was grateful to Niangniang. ”

Shen Wan smiled and said: "Bengong knows that Jiuhe incense is not something you can concoct, so now you want to tell Bengong, who gave you this thing?" ”

Concubine Qi knelt down again, gritted her teeth, and said, "Don't hide it from the queen, that Jiuhe incense was given to the concubine by Concubine Pei." ”

Shen Wan was silent, and then asked for a moment: "Why are you only saying it now?" Why didn't you tell the truth when the emperor was there? ”

Concubine Qi's shoulders trembled, she cried, and choked up with her crying: "The queen mother forgives her sins...... Before the concubine was called to the palace by the mother, there were few show girls left this year, but the queen mother fell in love with the concubine. Approximately, it was because the concubines had also been favored before. Therefore, he asked the concubines to obey Concubine Pei's wishes. So the queen mother of the coincidence asked the concubine to go to the palace to serve, and Concubine Pei quickly found the concubine and told the concubine to use Jiuhe incense to attract the emperor......

The concubine didn't want to do this, but Concubine Pei threatened the concubine that if the concubine didn't do what she said, she would let General Pei execute the cousin who served under her command! ”

Shen Wan knew that all the cause and effect were on Cousin Qi, so when she heard this, she didn't show much surprise.

Glancing at Su'e, Su'e stood aside with low eyebrows.

Shen Wan sighed: "You are also a poor person, but ......" Her expression suddenly tightened, and she said sharply: "This is not your way to hurt the emperor's dragon body!" Are you guilty? ”

Concubine Qi bowed deeply, prostrate on the ground, and said: "The concubine is guilty, but she begs the mother to give her death, but she only asks for ...... Ask Niangniang to avenge her concubine brother! ”

Shen Wan pretended to be surprised and asked, "Revenge?" What does this mean? ”

Concubine Qi's voice was full of hatred, and she said, "The concubine just learned that the concubine's brother has been killed in battle......"

Shen Wan said coldly: "If you die in battle, you have nothing to do with others." ”

Qi Concubine raised her head violently and complained, "No! It must not have been killed in battle! Niangniang, it was Concubine Pei who knew that the concubine was useless to her, and she was afraid that the concubine would point out the evidence of her crime, so she executed the slave's cousin! Niangniang, the concubine is willing to serve the mother and the horse, only ask the mother...... Help the concubines! The concubines are willing to confess to the emperor, as long as the emperor is willing to get rid of the people of the Pei family! ”

Shen Wan looked at her, and a cold smile appeared on her lips - it turned out that it was hate!

No matter how that person died, in Qi Concubine's heart, he must have been killed by someone from the Pei family!

She must have been deeply affectionate to that person!

Everything, sure enough, is in her hands!

Shen Wan bent down to help her up, and sighed: "It's not that this palace doesn't want to help you, it's just ...... Now the Pei family is becoming more and more dominant, General Pei seriously injured the lord of the Western Kingdom, and the emperor relied on him even more. At the same time, Concubine Pei will also be more respected because of her father. ”

Shen Wan's voice was full of helpless sourness: "And although this palace has the title of queen, it does not have such a huge backer, so this palace can't help you." might as well tell you the truth, even if the palace tells the emperor where the Jiuhe incense came from, the emperor will not punish Concubine Pei. ”

Concubine Qi was stunned, collapsed again, and muttered, "Could it be ...... Is there really no way? ”

Shen Wan looked at her, and suddenly a layer of sadness swelled up, this poor woman, she shouldn't have entered the palace for the draft, maybe, with her cousin, she can live a peaceful and stable ordinary life, and it is better than the eternal separation between heaven and man now!

Even so, Shen Wan never regretted letting her brother kill Qi Concubine's cousin!

If you are a person who has achieved great things, why should you care about this mere life!

What's more, Concubine Qi, do you really think that this palace will forgive you for using your weak appearance to deceive this palace? You have destroyed the exclusive favor pattern of this palace in the harem, how can this palace easily forgive you!

With a low sigh, he patted Concubine Qi's shoulder lightly, and said, "That's it, this palace will ask someone to let you out in a few days, and you don't always think nonsense here." ”

As soon as he turned around and was about to leave, he heard a "coo" behind him, and Su'e exclaimed: "Little master, little master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Shen Wan looked back, Qi Concubine's face was pale and she fainted.

frowned slightly, called the little palace maid who was trembling with fright, and said, "You quickly go to the Tai Hospital to spread the will of the palace, and ask Imperial Doctor Sun to come over and check Concubine Qi's pulse." ”

Su E helped Concubine Qi to the bed to rest, and Shen Wan said: "I don't know if it's sad or unwilling, perhaps, both!" Su'e, you take good care of Concubine Qi here, if there is anything, go to Chen Palace and tell Cui Shanggong. ”

"Yes." Su E answered, and when she saw that Shen Wan was leaving, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, the slave's sister Caixia ......."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "Don't you understand?" Concubine Qi had no use value for Concubine Pei, so Concubine Pei got rid of her cousin. And you have no use value for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will naturally not let go of your sister. ”
