Chapter 523, the chilling truth
On the twenty-sixth day of the first month of the first year of Jiacheng, Kunning Palace was finally renovated.
Ying Yue can finally move out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, which is really gratifying.
Sitting on the chair, looking at the plain face reflected in the glass square mirror, the first emperor did not drive the crane for a long time, but saved a lot of trouble, every day comb the simplest two heads, flat square and sideburns hairpin with light and simple ebony carving, it is really a lot easier.
picked up a string of beeswax Buddha beads in the red lacquer peony box, hung it on the placket, and said lightly: "Concubine Yugui has just moved to Shoukang Palace, so I should pay a visit." β
Concubine Shugui is gone, and Concubine Yugui is the highest-ranking concubine in the palace.
Shoukang Palace was originally the perennial residence of the Empress Dowager Xiao Shengxian, so the furnishings in it are absolutely luxurious, and even Cining Palace can't be compared.
Concubine Yugui was wearing a gray and blue robe, sitting on the day couch picking up Buddha beans, dyed with a mellow agarwood smell, and her rich face seemed to be dyed with a layer of Buddha nature, which was extremely kind.
"The queen is pregnant, why did she come to my side." Concubine Yugui got up to greet her and hurriedly beckoned her to sit on the couch.
"A few days ago, I had been living in the apse of the Heart Cultivation Hall to raise a fetus, and I was really panicked. Now that I have moved out, I want to come out and breathe. Ying Yue said with a smile as if she were talking about homely things.
Concubine Yugui smiled, picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, but she heard Yingyue say faintly: "I heard that in the past few days, the concubine has been crying and howling every night, disturbing the palace." β
Concubine Yugui's hand couldn't help shaking, her face was unnatural for a moment, but she quickly returned to her usual kind look, "There is indeed such a thing." The tenth princess is now raised under the knees of Concubine Qing, and she ...... I still can't accept it. β
Ying Yue smiled and said: "Concubine Yugui doesn't have to feel sorry, in the final analysis, it is too much of a concubine, and she actually beat the palace maid around her to death, if you don't make a move, I'm afraid that the palace maid will die in vain." β
Concubine Yugui sneered: "It's just a coincidence of discovery." β
"It's a coincidence." Ying Yue said lightly, "Speaking of which, you have always been a peacemaker in the palace, but I didn't expect that there would be times when you were more serious." β
Concubine Yugui's hand holding the teacup froze there, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"What's more, the first emperor was seriously ill at that time, and if this kind of thing happened, you weren't afraid that you would report it and hurt the first emperor?" Ying Yue raised her eyebrows and asked.
Concubine Yugui hurriedly said, "I'...... I didn't think much about it at the time, I just watched the palace maid die pitifully, that's whyβ"
Ying Yue smiled and looked at Concubine Yugui, this explanation was really clumsy enough. What is the fate of a palace maid? In the eyes of these ladies, how can they treat the palace maid as a human being?
Ying Yue smiled, didn't insist on talking any longer, but changed the conversation and said: "A few days ago, Concubine Shu Gui left the palace and went to say goodbye to me. β
Ying Yue scraped the foam on the tea soup, and glanced at Concubine Yugui's restless old face, "She told me that Mian Yu was infected with winter plague, and it was you who did it." β
Hearing this, Concubine Yu suddenly stood up and blurted out: "I didn't do this thing!" β
"Oh? If it's not you, who is it? Ying Yue raised her eyebrows and asked.
Concubine Yugui was silent for a moment, "I don't know. β
I don't know??
Ying Yue was very dissatisfied with this answer, "I must investigate this matter thoroughly, and I also hope that this matter has nothing to do with you." β
Concubine Yugui's face was full of sadness, and she sighed faintly, "Is the queen suspicious of me?" β
The corner of Ying Yue's eyes swept over the mottled cheeks of Concubine Yugui and the compassionate Guanyin on the Buddhist shrine, "The matter of the first emperor's life is that you and Concubine Shugui are in charge of palace affairs together. Do things to the emperor and grandson, except for her, only you can do it. β
Concubine Yugui's brows furrowed deeply, her eyes full of uneasiness, "I have no reason to do that!" β
"yes, you have no reason." Ying Yue sighed faintly, "This is what I can't figure out the most." β
After that, Ying Yue stood up, "I'm pregnant, and I originally planned to let Concubine Yugui continue to help take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, but now it seems that ...... Let's wait until I find out about it. β
Concubine Yugui suddenly became anxious, "Queen Mother! How could I hurt Big Brother?! I'm justβ" Concubine Yugui choked back suddenly.
Ying Yue's eyes lit up, "Just what?!" β
Concubine Yugui shook her head, "It's nothing, it's because you have too much heart." β
"How hearty am I?!" A sneer rose at the corner of Ying Yue's mouth, "Is it because I'm too careful, or are you too suspicious?!" The concubine beat the palace people to death and was punished, which is indeed deserved. But what's in it for you to do this kind of thing?! Who in the palace would do something harmful to others and not to themselves?! β
Concubine Yugui only felt that her brows were heavy, and the queen's mind was too sensitive and subtle, so she actually thought of it from Wang's body to the eldest brother......
Alas, Concubine Yugui sighed heavily, if she didn't tell the reason, she was afraid that the queen would suspect her of harming the eldest brother!
Concubine Yugui looked helpless, "It is indeed not my intention to deal with the Wang family." I am entrusted by men. β
Ying Yue's face sank, and she immediately asked, "Who is entrusted by whom?!" β
Concubine Yugui was silent for a moment, her eyes looking east, "Today." β
Hearing the word "today", Yingyue's heart trembled suddenly, Yongying? Yong Ying asked Concubine Yugui to expose Wang's beating of the palace maid?!
She has doubted everyone, but she has never doubted Yongying!!
Ying Yue instantly seemed to be drained of her strength, and softened on the couch, "No, it's impossible!" β
Concubine Yugui didn't want to confess this, she sighed and said, "The emperor has a hard time. β
"Bitter?!" Ying Yue smiled coldly, his distress was nothing more than Concubine Shugui's thoughts about the storage position! And Yongzhen's purpose is obviously to get rid of Concubine Shugui's thoughts!
At that time, the first emperor was seriously ill, in order to avoid accidents, in order to prevent Concubine Shu Gui from giving birth to a moth at this critical time! The best way is to press her down first!!
Shielding the Wang family is not enough for His Majesty Qianlong to explicitly order Concubine Shu Gui to be grounded!
But what if you add a charge of murdering the emperor's grandson?!
His Majesty Qianlong will feel that Concubine Shu Gui has a bad heart and has the idea of usurping the throne! In order to ensure the normal succession of the throne, Concubine Shu Gui must be completely imprisoned, so that she can no longer take other actions!
It was for this purpose that Yong Ying actually ......
That's a plague!!
Ying Yue only felt cold all over her body, wasn't Yong Ying afraid of a ...... What if you lose your love?!
Didn't he think that he already had three sons, and even if he lost one, it would be nothing?!
Would he really be so ruthless?!
"No...... I don't believe it!! Ying Yue squeezed the Jinpa in his hand fiercely, he believed that Yongying would joke with Mian's life!
