Chapter 237: The Death of the Concubine
Shu Jin only felt that her head was big, and she really didn't want to pay attention to the little rice cakes! You have doubts in your own heart, and you have a kind of confrontation with the emperor! What are you looking for me?!
You're the women's director!
Concubine Mao saw the irritability on the concubine's face, and said, "If you don't want to see it, just find an excuse to send it away." β
Shu Jin looked helpless, don't you know how sticky the little rice cake is?
Zhang Shoufa said in a low voice: "Concubine Dun also said that if you don't see it, she will be waiting outside." β
Shu Jin numbled his mouth, did you see?
Concubine Mi was a little displeased, "Is there still humility in her eyes?" A concubine, blocked outside the palace of the concubine, is inevitably too arrogant! β
Concubine Mao couldn't help but sneer: "Then tell her to wait!" Really, our concubine owes her?! β
Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi were even more angry than her, Shu Jin couldn't help but wonder, "Concubine Dun has this temperament, and this palace didn't know it on the first day." Let's not be angry, and call her in to see what she has to say. β
Concubine Mi muttered: "The concubine is too good-natured, I'm afraid that in the eyes of others, I will think you are so bullied." β
Shu Jin smiled: "This palace has never been a soft persimmon. In this palace, except for the emperor, there is really no one who can pinch her casually. Although in the matter of the eighth elder brother, she seems to have been taken advantage of by the small rice cake, but the root cause is still in the emperor.
Therefore, although Shu Jin hates small rice cakes, he doesn't hate her.
She didn't hate anyone in the house.
From beginning to end, the only thing she hated was Yongzheng.
After not seeing her for a few days, Concubine Dun's face was much haggard, but she still did not damage her complexion, but she was a little delicate, "Say hello to Sister Guifei." β
Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi on the side had already gotten up, Concubine Mao avoided being polite, and Concubine Mi had to give Concubine Dun a salute.
Concubine Mao covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and her tone was a little unkind: "Concubine Dun's sister has such a delicate body, why don't you stay in Yikun Palace and go to the concubine's Chengqian Palace?!" β
Concubine Dun frowned, she never looked down on an old and decrepit concubine like Concubine Mao - if it weren't for the concubine, where would the Song family be on an equal footing with her?
But because of the concubine's presence, Concubine Dun simply ignored it, "The concubine is here to ask the concubine's sister to solve her doubts." β
Shu Jin said with a straight face: "The queen is seriously ill, and everything she says is nonsense, so Concubine Dun doesn't have to take it to heart." β
Concubine Dun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Is it really just nonsense?" β
Shu Jin pursed the corners of his lips, his expression was as light as a cloud, "Otherwise?" β
Concubine Dun lowered her eyebrows and was silent for a few breaths, her voice was faint and ethereal, "The concubine has always believed in the character of Sister Guifei, and I hope that Sister Guifei will tell you the truth." Saying that, Concubine Dun blessed her body, and there was a little more pleading in her eyes.
Shu Jin raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but ask: "What the queen said is unfounded, it is all empty words, how do you want this palace to 'tell the truth'?!" β
Concubine Dun choked, of course, there would be no evidence for this kind of thing......
Shu Jin knew that the queen had planted the seed of doubt in Concubine Dun's heart, and this seed had taken root and could no longer be eradicated.
Shu Jin said indifferently: "This palace has never been involved in this matter, so how do you know if what the queen said is true or false?" If Concubine Dun is really suspicious, she can ask the emperor! β
Concubine Dun's expression was a little sad: if she dared to question the emperor, why did she need to ask the concubine?
But as the concubine said, this matter is ...... The concubine is just a bystander.
"Concubine Dun asked the wrong person, please go back." Shu Jin picked up the teacup and made a gesture of sending off guests.
Concubine Dun's eyes twitched slightly, "The concubine really doesn't know who to ask......
Hehe, if you have the guts, ask the emperor, and if you don't have the guts, hold back!
Concubine Mao on the side couldn't help but sneer: "The queen is very capable, and she will make you mess up in a few words." Although Concubine Mao didn't like Concubine Dun, she was even more unhappy to see the queen succeed.
Concubine Dun naturally understood that the queen was absolutely ill-intentioned when she said those words. Her thin lips were almost bitten, if she really went to the emperor to question, she was afraid that she would fall for the queen's trick!
Concubine Dun took a deep breath, "The concubine retired first." β
After sending away the small rice cakes, Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi sat down again, and Concubine Mao chuckled disdainfully: "She has no courage to ask the emperor!" β
Yes, the little rice cake is afraid, afraid of angering the emperor, afraid of falling out of favor, and even more afraid that the queen's "nonsense" will be confirmed.
At this moment, Zhang Shoufa hurriedly ran in, "Niangniang, the big thing is not good, there is news from the Old Summer Palace, last night Chun Haoxuan went out of the water!" β
Shu Jin's face tightened, that was where the concubine was imprisoned...... Walking on the water again?! Was it an accident? Or is it another self-directed and self-acting? Orβ
Zhang Shoufa approached and whispered: "Concubine Niangniang didn't have time to escape, she has already died." β
Shu Jin's pupils shrank, and someone had assassinated him.
Now that the Old Summer Palace is unattended, isn't it the best time to start?!
Concubine Mao showed a playful look, "Can you find the cause of the fire?" β
Zhang Shoufa said: "The chief eunuch of the Old Summer Palace said that the eunuch of Chunhaoxuan was lazy and poured charcoal ash in the corner of the wall, so he accidentally caught fire. β
"Accidental" again?
Shu Jin raised his eyebrows: "That's too coincidental." Does the emperor have a will? β
Zhang Shoufa hurriedly said: "The emperor is very angry, and he has already ordered the eunuch who was not careful to be killed, and the head of the Old Summer Palace has also been punished." β
Just such an understatement? Don't check it out thoroughly?
This is not the last time there was no danger, with Yongzheng's suspicion, it is impossible to believe that it was just an accident.
Shu Jin rubbed his eyebrows, Yongzheng was so disgusted with his concubine, how could he care about her life or death? So...... Who killed the concubine, Yongzheng didn't care, but he was afraid that he felt a bad breath.
Now that the concubines are all in the palace, there is no evidence, who can they accuse?
Since the apparent investigation result of the Old Summer Palace was an accident, Yongzheng would naturally only deal with it according to the accident.
Concubine Mi showed a suspicious look, "In this palace, the one who has the deepest friendship with the concubine is Concubine Dun." β
Shu Jin shook his head gently, I'm afraid that the little rice cake doesn't have the heart to set fire to it this time.
It's just that with such a deep grudge in the past, Xiao Rice Cake will undoubtedly become the most suspicious person.
"Is Concubine Xuan okay?" Shu Jin hurriedly asked.
Zhang Shoufa said: "When the concubine learned of this, she had already fainted. β
"Got it." Shu Jin rubbed his eyebrows, the concubine ended up like this, although she deserved it, but this old lady was really not easy.
Concubine Mao said in a low voice: "In case Concubine Xuan wants to make trouble, I'm afraid that you concubine will not be able to do well." β
Previously, Concubine Xuan was only burned, and Concubine Xuan couldn't sit still. Now it's a fatality.
Shu Jin was a little big for a while, who caused the trouble this time? Ma Dan, the concubine has long been out of the climate, let her slowly be confined to death! What's the benefit of killing her?!
Concubine Mi was also busy saying: "Niangniang needs to be on guard against rumors in the palace. β
Shu Jin nodded heavily, this pot will definitely be buckled on Concubine Dun's head, if Concubine Xuan believes it......
Just think about it, your head is as big as a bucket.
