272. Bewilderment

Cuihua Palace used to live in Concubine Li, Concubine Li was very favored by the first emperor at that time, and some people said that if Concubine Li gave birth to a prince, then Zhun Bao even the queen had to give way to her. > Bayi β‰₯Chinese Network <≀<.<8<

But Concubine Li's face was thin, and she went after being favored for two years. People in the palace said that she was born with a good face, and she was not so rich and noble in her life, and the emperor couldn't stand her love, so she lost her life.

But looking at what happened later, I have to say that Concubine Li is still blessed, she walked in front of the first emperor. After the first emperor is gone, how miserable is the fate of those once glorious beauties? It's not as good as Concubine Li, and she got a good death. Anyway, she was buried a long time ago, and the queen mother was uncomfortable, so she didn't dig her out of the concubine's tomb and whip her corpse.

The current Cuihua Palace is different.

In the heavy rain, the Cuihua Palace looks dilapidated and desolate, and the small garden behind the Cuihua Palace is also not well cared for.

Marchand Palace walked two steps briskly to the bottom of the eaves and put away the umbrella. It rained heavily, and I got a lot of wet while holding the umbrella. She took out a towel to wipe it, and when she turned around, she saw that the hem of her skirt was covered with mud, and it was so wet that it was almost dripping.

Marchandong simply bent down, grabbed his skirt and twisted it up to wring the water out, and then stomped the mud on his feet.

The door behind her opened as she bent over, and a woman with a hunched waist stood there squinting at her, and she didn't see the person in front of her clearly for a long time.

Ma Shanggong greeted her with a smile: "Old sister, it's me." ”

The woman's eyes inside the door couldn't see clearly, and she dared to confirm who it was only by listening to the voice.

"Yo, it's you, why did you come here in such a heavy rain?"

She listened to the movement in the doorway and thought she had misheard.

"It's because it rains that I didn't send an errand, so I came here because I had a spare time." Marchand Palace entered this room.

The room was greeted by a damp musty smell that choked people. Ma Shang Gong followed Concubine Shen and lived in a new house, this kind of old house that had not been repaired for many years, she also lived in it, but now she felt unaccustomed to it as soon as she came in.

Marchand didn't come empty-handed, she made some money to prepare a few side dishes, and brought two unworn clothes that her mother had rewarded. When I came to see this house, I felt that I was not thoughtful, and said, "Sister Hu, the floor in this house should also be changed." ”

Although the woman who lives in this house is older than Marchand Palace, she is still just a palace maid, but she is just sweeping the courtyard here in Cuihua Palace. The errands in the East Sixth Palace are all hard, the quota is insufficient, and the life is hard.

"Where do you want to change it, can you still cover it."

The wine and food were put on the table, and Ma Shanggong personally poured her a glass: "It is said that we should not eat wine, but in such weather, even the ladies have to eat a glass of wine to go to the cold." ”

Hu Gong people originally had some scruples, but when they thought about it, with such a heavy rain, who wouldn't be lazy in the house? No one from the East Sixth Palace here comes to the adults, and no one will come from such a heavy rain.

She had a problem with greedy cups in her early years, watching the house by herself, and when she was bored for a long night, she would take a sip or two to satisfy her hunger. But with her identity, there is no hope for good wine and good food. Besides, if you pour yourself a drink, the wine is even more tasteless.

Today, there is not only good wine and good food, but also people to talk with him, and the interest of the Hu Palace people has come up. Food is good food, and wine is good wine. Good wine is mellow and intoxicating than ordinary water wine.

As soon as Hu Gongren got drunk, they talked more.

She also had a good life back then, following her powerful master, eating and drinking spicy food, wearing gold and silver. It's a pity that there was so much scenery back then, and now it looks even more bleak.

Because she is not happy now, she prefers to think back to the past.

While listening to Ma Shanggong, she was also reminded of the old things in the past.

Unlike the people of Hu Palace, Ma Shang Palace didn't think about the days of the first emperor at all. At that time, it was too chaotic in the harem, it was really too chaotic, human life was not a matter at all, and it would be convicted for some reason. At that time, everyone was in danger, and they didn't know if there would be tomorrow after today. Some people are more cautious in this situation, while others are very indulgent and pass the day first, regardless of where they will be tomorrow.

Hu Gongren is not smart, but she is lucky, she has enjoyed happiness, and now she still has a place to settle down, and she has a place to eat.

Seeing that she was almost drunk, Ma Shanggong asked tentatively: "I remember that Sister Hu also served in Feng Caixuan for two years?" At that time, Concubine He was being favored, right? ”

"Yes, she was favored for a while at that time, but unfortunately, although she is beautiful, she is a wooden beauty, and her temperament is dull and boring, and the first emperor got tired of her in a few days."

"Wasn't she rejected by the first emperor because of a miscarriage?"

Ma Shanggong's mouth was a little dry, but his palms were a little sweaty.

"Miscarriage?" Hu Gongren thought for a while: "Ah, yes, it's a miscarriage." I still remember that after she became pregnant, she didn't have any flesh on her face, but she lost a lot of weight. At that time, the emperor almost forgot about her, she stayed in the house and didn't come out much, one day in the middle of the night she turned on the lights in the house, and the doctor could only be invited to come in the morning, and when the doctor came, she had already had a miscarriage, and the child could not be saved. ”

Ma Shanggong followed up and asked, "Then why is she?" Was it calculated? Or are the people around you not careful? ”

Hu Gongren hiccuped: "Oh, who can say clearly, the imperial doctors are very vague, they are afraid of taking responsibility." ”

"Then the attendants around her, I heard that they were all drugged and disposed of one by one? Isn't it because they don't serve carefully? If nothing had gone wrong, it wouldn't have been, right? ”

Finally asked the point, Ma Shanggong pricked up his ears, for fear of missing a word.

"Dome?"

"Yes." Ma Shanggong said: "I heard that she had two personal palace maids around her at that time, one surnamed 6 and the other surnamed Fang. The one with the surname 6 seemed to be gone at that time, and the one with the surname Fang was also drugged and couldn't speak. ”

In Ma Shanggong's opinion, Fang Shanggong's handle is much easier to grasp than Zhou Yuchen. Zhou Yuchen is too difficult to provoke, and Ma Shanggong also knows that his hard bones are difficult to gnaw. Persimmon always has to pick up soft pinch, Fang Shanggong is that soft persimmon.

When Concubine He had a miscarriage, the people in the palace didn't dare to say it on their faces, but they all felt that it should be the queen's hand. The queen would never allow others to give birth to a prince before her to threaten her position.

The reason why the people around Concubine He were disposed of may be that they want to directly let them bear the blame, and someone has to bear the black pot. It is also possible that they were waiting for them and knew something they shouldn't know, so they were drugged.

"Palace maid?" Hu Gongren's mind was groggy, she didn't know that the strength of this wine was big, and she drank too quickly when she was in a hurry, and her drunkenness came quickly.

"Yes, do you remember the one with the surname Fang? She's ...... now."

Hu Gongren bared his tongue and asked inarticulately, "Isn't the one surnamed Fang dead?" ”

Ma Shanggong couldn't cry or laugh: "No." She didn't die, and she's doing well now, follow the concubine Niangniang, although you are not well-informed in the East Sixth Palace, you should also know how many celebrities there are in front of the concubine Niangniang, right? The one who died was surnamed 6, you think about it again. ”

"Oh, yes, the one who died should be surnamed 6." Hu Gongren held his head and thought seriously: "Surname Fang? Surname Fang? ”

"Yes, yes," Marchandong reminded her, "It's quite delicate, white and clean, and I heard that the needlework is good." Sister Hu, you should have been familiar with her at the beginning, right? Did you say she did something she shouldn't have done, so she was drugged after Concubine He's miscarriage? ”

Hu Gongren thought about it for a while, and finally showed a sudden expression: "I remember, you're talking about Fang Hui, right?" ”

"Yes, that's her." Ma Shanggong was overjoyed: "She must have done something inappropriate, right?" ”

"She seemed to be sick at that time, and I saw her for months. She disappeared before Concubine He had a miscarriage. Later, Concubine He didn't see her after she gave birth. Why was she drugged? ”

Marchand Palace was stunned.

"Old sister, are you not mistaken?"

"That's right." Although Hu Gongren was drunk, he was not so whimsical as to talk nonsense: "If you had said that it was Fang Hui, I would have remembered it a long time ago." She's a good person, and she's good at needlework, and I've asked her for tricks, and she's even helped me make an upper. Yes, that's right, I remember that the upper was embroidered with bamboo leaves, and it was well embroidered. ”

Marchand Palace is not interested in bamboo leaves or leaves.

She came to Hu Gongren to inquire, but she didn't have much hope. But she didn't expect Hu Gongren to give her such a sudden answer, which caught her off guard all of a sudden, and the whole person was stunned.

Hu Gongren continued: "I remember that it was spring, right? Yes, I saw her in the spring, her face was not very good, and after a few days she disappeared, saying that she was sick, and moved out first. At the time, I thought that she was a pity, and if she wanted to move out, it would definitely be a serious illness. If you are seriously ill and there is no one to take care of you, you will not be able to come back. ”

"Isn't she in Feng Caixuan in the spring?" Ma Shanggong was a little confused: "Then when did she go back?" When was the medicine administered? ”

Hu Gongren pointed at her with a smile: "You are also drunk, I said it just now, she hasn't gone back, look at you, you are so drunk that you can't even remember the words." ”

Didn't Fang Shanggong be drugged because of Concubine He's miscarriage and death?

So who was she drugged? She had disappeared before Concubine He's miscarriage, and after Concubine He's death, she went to the Needlework Bureau again......

Ma Shanggong originally thought that he would be able to figure things out a little bit today, but he didn't expect that the more he inquired, the more nonsense he became.

Except for the people of Hu Palace, almost all of the people who knew Fang Shanggong back then are gone, and there is no one to ask others again, after all, it has been so many years. The first emperor went to the harem to clean up once, from the emperor's accession to the throne to the present, he has let go of people several times, and Ma Shang Palace searched for a circle before pulling out Hu Gong people who are considered to be in the know.

Ma Shanggong wanted to ask again, but Hu Gongren was already snoring on the table, and he couldn't wake up at all, and he couldn't get any more words out of her mouth.
