Chapter 288: Into the Cold Palace
readx;? Concubine Yang sat on the edge of the bed, carefully looked at the furnishings in the room, and slowly spoke: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but it's just the poisoning of Su Nuoyu, Xiao Zhongzi is at the emperor's place, and he insists that I instructed it." www.biquge.info The emperor couldn't listen to my defense, and in a fit of rage, he ordered me to commit suicide. ”
Xiang Ming watched her say what was originally fatal and serious so lightly, and her heart throbbed for a while. As soon as she grabbed Concubine Yang's hand, she said excitedly: "Niangniang, this matter is clearly not your doing! That little Zhongzi must have been instructed by someone to say such unconscionable words!"
"Ignorance of conscience?" Concubine Yang sneered, "People who have lived in the palace for a long time, but there is such a thing as conscience?"
"Niangniang, the slave and maid go to the emperor, and the slave and maid will tell him the truth! The emperor can't wronged you like this! Niangniang, don't worry, the slave and maid will give up their lives and let the emperor know the truth of the matter!"
"Stop!" Concubine Yang shouted, "Come back!"
Xiangming stopped and looked back at her, her eyes full of insistence: "Niangniang, the slave can't watch you being wronged so much!"
The corners of Concubine Yang's lips rose, and she smiled mockingly: "Wronged? Aren't the people in this palace just that you wronged me today, and I wronged you tomorrow?" ”
Xiang Ming wiped her tears indiscriminately, and said indignantly: "Niangniang, how can you say such frustrating words? No matter what, we also have to think of begging the emperor to take back his will!"
"What is the solution? I knelt in front of the emperor and cried and begged, but the emperor was determined to kill me. Xiangming, you have followed me since I entered the palace, I have never regarded you as a subordinate in my heart, and today I will say a few words to you that are heart-wrenching!" The tears in Concubine Yang's eyes kept holding them, and they never flowed.
Xiangming nodded, choked up, "Niangniang, say whatever you want." ”
Concubine Yang smiled lightly: "You have followed me all the way, you should know that although I value position and honor, what I value most in my heart is always the emperor's favor! But what about the emperor? Even when I was spoiled in the past, there was always this concubine and that little master. Today, he doesn't care about the feelings of the day. With such a lack of mercy, even if I pick up a life, the rest of my life must be spent in the cold palace, so what's the point?"
"Niangniang, didn't you say that living in everything is the first step?" Xiangming had no way to accept Concubine Yang's suicide.
Concubine Yang shook her head and said, "Xiangming, although it is good to be alive, there is another sentence that says, 'Mourning is greater than heart death'." The emperor treated me like this, what is the meaning of my life? What's more, if I have to live in a cold palace from now on, I don't have any expectations for living. ”
"Niangniang" Xiangming still wants to persuade again.
Concubine Yang got up, came to Xiangming's side, and whispered, "Good girl, you don't have to be upset for me." Although the word death sounds scary, I find that it is not so difficult to accept that it has actually reached this point. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't rest assured of you, even if I was to die now, it wouldn't matter.
"Niangniang, don't say it again!" Xiangming cried sadly.
The master and servant were talking, and Zhang Hua's voice came from outside: "Niangniang, it's almost time, you can clean up quickly." ”
"Good. Concubine Yang responded, then looked at Xiangming, and said, "I actually have nothing to clean up, the palace commits suicide at dusk, and by tomorrow at the latest, I will also die." But you are different, the emperor did not mention that he wants to condemn you today, I think maybe you can live. In two years, you will also reach the age where you can be released from the palace, and then you can leave here and go out to find a good family to marry. ”
Xiangming cried and shook her head: "No, Niangniang, you are gone, what is the point of being a slave and maid?"
"It's all stupid!" Concubine Yang's face sank, and she said lightly, "As far as you are concerned, the outside world is wonderful, so naturally you have to live well and see the outside world for me." ”
While speaking, Concubine Yang came to the dressing table, opened the brocade box, took out a lot of jewelry from it, and handed it to Xiangming: "These things were all brought into the palace by me that day, and when I die, they will also return to the Internal Affairs Office." I will give them to you today, and in the future, you will either keep them to take care of the people in the palace, or use them for a living after leaving the palace, in short, you will live up to them. ”
Listening to Concubine Yang's explanation, Xiangming cried uncontrollably, but she still obediently put away her things. She had already thought very clearly, and when Niangniang died, she would go with her! She couldn't let Niangniang be alone underground in the future, and she still had to serve her! But now she couldn't say such things to make Niangniang angry, so she nodded and agreed.
As she said, Concubine Yang didn't have anything to clean up, but she just changed into her favorite set of clothes, and ordered Xiangming to dress her delicately, and that's it.
Looking at the delicate makeup in the bronze mirror, Concubine Yang smiled faintly and praised: "After all these years, your hands are the most skillful." Seeing that Xiangming was still sobbing, Concubine Yang turned around and said, "Xiangming, seeing that I am dressed up so beautifully by you, you should laugh." ”
Xiangming was already sad, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and when she heard Concubine Yang's words, she wanted to smile at her, but she couldn't.
Concubine Yang sighed, stood up, wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, and said, "We will leave here in a while, if you keep crying, you will only let people see me clearly! Okay, it's no big deal, don't cry." ”
When Xiangming heard this, she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe her tears, nodded and said, "Don't worry, the slave won't let people look down on you!"
Concubine Yang bowed, turned around and gently buckled the bronze mirror on the table, came to the side of the bed again, put down the curtain, and finally looked at the dormitory, and then turned around and left without nostalgia. Seeing this, Xiangming hurriedly followed behind her.
Zhang Hua stood outside the hall, saw Concubine Yang coming out, hurriedly walked over, just saw her with a calm face, and couldn't help but look at her in his heart. This kind of Concubine Yang is much better than when she was in the Jiade Palace!
"Niangniang, let's go to the cold palace now. According to the emperor's will, the servants will come to see you off on your way tomorrow evening. Zhang Hua said.
"There is Father-in-law Lao. Concubine Yang said indifferently.
The cold palace is a place where the palace specially houses the disgraced concubines, and few people come here in the past day, which can be said to be extremely deserted and extremely simple! Concubine Yang has never set foot here since she entered the palace. It is said that this is an ominous place, and even worse, it is said that there are always some dead or crazy concubines who can't survive here and turn into ghosts and wander in the middle of the night. In short, rumors about the cold palace are always chilling.
Zhang Hua stood outside the cold palace and said respectfully: "Niangniang, I have wronged you to live here tonight." ”
Concubine Yang glanced at the layout inside, and said indifferently: "There is nothing wronged or wronged, it's just the emperor's will." ”
Zhang Hua heard the resentment in her words, so he had to smile wryly, did not answer, and bowed to retire.
Xiangming looked at the gloomy and cold cold palace, and couldn't help frowning, "Niangniang, I'm afraid that you can't get used to living here, the slave will help you look around and choose a slightly brighter room." ”
"Don't bother, the best night for the dying person, what's there to pay attention to?" Concubine Yang looked at it lightly.
The news that Concubine Yang was sent to the cold palace and committed suicide soon spread throughout the palace, and everyone was surprised. After this incident, everyone felt more wary and jealous of Su Nuo in their hearts. You must know that since Concubine Yang entered the palace, she has been pampered a lot in the palace, but I didn't expect that this time, for a woman with the status of a doctor, the emperor would be able to give the favored concubine to death without thinking about the old feelings!
Everyone didn't say it, but in their hearts they felt that the emperor was a little too partial to the Sunuo language. After all, Nasunuo was just a false alarm, and he didn't have to worry about his life for a long time. But because of this, the emperor got rid of a woman who had been with him for many years.
On the surface, Su Nuoyu is the biggest victim of this incident, but in fact, the worst is Concubine Yang who was given death. It can be seen from this that this incident is very likely to be a bitter ploy directed and acted by Su Nuoyu! Although she has suffered some flesh and skin, she has been involved in Concubine Yang and Concubine Guifei in a series of ways, and has succeeded in getting rid of Concubine Yang
Of course, these people who speculate about the harem only dare to think about it in their hearts, and they don't dare to really say it. In any case, no one dares to take action against Su Nuoyu easily, and even before making a disrespectful statement, they must be cautious!
After Concubine Wu heard the emperor's will, she was quite satisfied in her heart. Being able to get rid of a strong opponent like Concubine Yang so easily can be regarded as a success. It's just that I couldn't get rid of the Suno language, which is a bit of a pity.
When Concubine Wu learned that Su Nuoyu's life was not in danger, she was shocked. She looked at Ya'er, who was standing on the side, and asked, "How can this be? That is the medicine prepared by the palace himself, and it is impossible to survive!"
"Niangniang, Xiao Zhongzi will never betray you, and Imperial Doctor Su has also used a lot of lunch, could it be that she is talented?"
Concubine Wu's expression was grim, with a slight doubt: "Is there really a fate in this world? Then Su Nuo's life should not be extinguished? In any case, it is not without gain to be able to get rid of Concubine Yang through this matter." What's more, after this incident, I am afraid that everyone will have more taboos and disgust for the Suno language in their hearts! At that time, the palace will be close to her as usual, and it is unknown that she may be able to use her to get rid of the concubine. ”
"Lady wise!" Ya'er praised heartily.
Concubine Wu had a calculating smile on her face, and did not forget to instruct: "By the way, you have to arrange that little Zhongzi's family as soon as possible." Bengu promised him that he would definitely protect his family. ”
"Don't worry, the slave and maid will go to arrange it early in the morning. Ya'er said.
Concubine Wu nodded and asked, "Now the emperor is there in Su Nuoyu?" Wait a while, the palace will also go to the Tai Hospital to see the good sister who will not die!"
