Chapter 731 The Concubine Shu in the Palace is Dead
The plum blossom forest in Duke Xingguo’s mansion is actually not big. The pavilion is on the other side of the plum forest, a little far from where she has just entered.
There was also a layer of curtain hanging outside in the winter, facing them, and someone stood in the pavilion and couldn't see who was facing, but one thing was certain, that person seemed to be in their direction.
"Miss, there seems to be someone over there!" Yujie also found the people in the pavilion over there. Although she couldn't see her face, it was certain that the man could see the dark robe.
"Let's go!" Shao Wanru shook her head and signaled her not to look at her. No matter who the person there was, it was always inconvenient since she was a man.
"Okay!" Yujie nodded, held the vase and followed Shao Wanru, walked back together, and then disappeared behind this plum forest.
Wen Xichi's eyes looked at Shao Wanru's leaving back through the veil. After a while, he reached out and rubbed his brows, feeling very uncomfortable.
An indescribable feeling.
It was a routine matter when he went to the Duke of Xingguo's mansion today, mainly asking about the poisoning incident of Duke of Xingguo's wife, because it was related to a matter in the palace when the late emperor was the emperor. The emperor asked him to come and take a look.
There was no formal record in the Ministry of Justice. The poisoning of the wife of a noble family seemed more like a backyard matter. However, because the poison was a bit special, check it more and find out what is the best thing to do. If you can't find anything, it doesn't matter.
After all, it was the birth of the late emperor. The harem at that time was not in the current emperor's harem.
Wen Xichi was next to the Duke Xingguo Mansion, and the people from the Ministry of Justice asked him to take a walk nearby. He first went to see Duke Xingguo's wife and asked a few more questions. Shao Hua'an, the eldest son of Duke Xingguo Mansion, took him to the yard for a walk. After walking for a while, a servant came over and said a few words to Shao Hua'an. Shao Hua'an accused him of a while and asked him to wait for a while before going out.
It happened that there was a pavilion in front of him. He was standing at the pavilion to appreciate the scenery of the plum forest. Unexpectedly, he actually saw Shao Wanru appearing in the plum forest with his maid.
Looking silently at Shao Wanru looking around under the plum tree, looking around for the plum branches that he was suitable for. From time to time, he saw her talking to the maids beside him. Although he was far away, he couldn't hear what they were talking about, but he could tell that she seemed to be in a good mood. On her face, which was a little cold in the past, she smiled like a flower from time to time.
The girl with delicate facial features, standing in this plum forest, the whole plum forest reflected became the background behind her, and she was so beautiful than a flower!
Wen Xichi has always disdained to use the sentences in books to describe women, but now he has no idea that he has learned fewer vocabulary. No matter how many gorgeous words are, they cannot compare to the beautiful scenery under the tree in front of him, as if there is such a scene deep in his memory.
A beautiful and sparse woman walks through the branches, occasionally making her heart beat faster.
He reached out and pressed his chest. It was indeed jumping much faster than before, but why was this happening? He couldn't explain this feeling clearly and felt a little annoyed!
There is a faint feeling of uncontrollability, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable...
The incident of the poisoning of Duke Xingguo's wife Jiang's wife finally disappeared silently, as if nothing had happened. Occasionally, someone heard news that only said that Duke Xingguo's wife seemed to have been poisoned, and the victim was a certain kind of poison that had been used in the palace. The rest were nothing if you asked again.
The wife of Duke Xingguo did not have any problems, but she was not in good health. She despised the noisy in Duke Xingguo's mansion, so she took a few maids to live in Yuhui Temple for a while to take care of her health.
As for Madam Sheng’s death, who would care about how an old lady died and what crimes she was charged with?
The people from the Ministry of Justice also came to ask, but they only asked. There was neither a victim nor anyone felt wronged. This matter was just a formality, and it was not filed in the Ministry of Justice, and it was not recorded.
The outside of the palace was almost calm. Even if the wife of Duke Xingguo left for rest in Yuhui Temple, she did not alarm the others. She got up early, and even the shops on the street did not open.
But some people say that when they saw the carriage of Duke Xingguo, it simply did not look like the carriage of a Duke, but it looked like the most ordinary oil-walled carriage in a family. If it weren't for the fact that Duke Xingguo left early in the morning, no one would have thought that the carriage would be Duke Xingguo.
However, there is another saying that Mrs. Xingguo Duke is in poor health. This time, he went up the mountain just to be calm and meticulous. He should avoid noisyness. Naturally, he cannot move forward with a wide car and a big horse, which both disturbs people and yourself.
The Duke of Xingguo’s Mansion was completely quiet because of Duke of Xingguo’s wife, but the palace was not quiet, and Concubine Shu was dead!
And he committed suicide by investing.
It is said that I couldn't think about it for a moment, but why can't I come? There was no news in the palace, so I just asked Concubine Shu's family to go in and take a look. After that, the emperor and the queen gave rewards, and then they disappeared.
Concubine Shu had no children at first, but now she is not favored. In addition, her family had no power at first. Although her position is not low, her childlessness and no favoritism made her feel neglected in the palace, and even her new favorite concubine didn't care much about her.
&nbs
p; Concubine Shu was also considered the old man when the emperor was in the residence. She committed suicide for no reason. After searching, she couldn't find anything. Although a minister submitted a memorial to the queen to investigate again, she suggested that everyone in the harem be brought out and carefully investigated them one by one, but the emperor scolded her.
His harem, the minister who didn't need the kid was fine, kept staring at him.
At this time, the Imperial Hospital gave a memo, which was a good explanation for the reason why Shu was so poor that she didn't want to live. Because Shu had a secret disease on her body, she could not be cured. She was in a bad mood and was depressed. On the day of the accident, another concubine who had just entered the palace quarreled and couldn't think about it for a while, so she committed suicide.
The memorial at the Imperial Hospital immediately calmed the entire court, and no one stared at the emperor's harem anymore. The concubines in the harem were sick all year round and were in depression. They quarreled with the arrogant new concubine. Something happened has happened throughout the dynasty and dynasty, and such things were unrecognizable.
However, the newly-entered concubine was not good either, and she was directly sent to the cold palace by the empress.
He treated the old man in the palace so arrogantly as soon as he entered the palace, and he was a concubine. It was originally a traitor...
All these things were transmitted to Shao Wanru through Qing'er. Of course, Qing'er finally said something specifically, "The reason why the concubine had an accident was because the poison powder was obtained from her wife, and she heard that the emperor had personally inquired about this matter, and then the empress gave her three-foot white silk."
As for why this matter was found in Shufei, Qing'er didn't know why, and felt that someone must have tampered with it.
Shao Wanru smiled at the death of Concubine Shu. Although this person didn't get much into her sight, he had planned her with the Duke Xingguo Mansion twice, which really made her unable to like him.
If you do this, you really think you have no opponent in the harem? Now that you are in such a fate, you will suffer the consequences.
In her previous life, she had never seen this concubine in the palace. I think something happened early before she entered the palace. With this person's hand stretching out so long and having no background, it is normal for him to seek death.
However, the wife of Duke Xingguo, Jiang, was forced to go to Yuhui'an, which was both expected and unexpected.
Jiang thought he could have pushed all the evidence to Madam Sheng and could hide it from outsiders, but he could not hide it from Shao Jing's eyes. The lady might have been blinded at the time, and then she realized that she would not punish Jiang. She took advantage of Jiang's health and sent it out directly. This was originally the excuse that the lady of a large family and a lady used when she was in trouble.
This time, Jiang was unable to steal the chicken and lost a piece of rice.
"Miss, Madam Xi is not here? It has been several days." Unlike Qing'er, Yujie is concerned about another thing.
"I won't come!" Shao Wanru shook her head and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Such a thing happened, even if the Duke Xingguo Mansion was low-key, many families were secretly speculating that if Madam Xi came back at this time, it would inevitably bring a lot of storms to Duke Xingguo Mansion. This was not what the Empress and Duke Xingguo Mansion were willing to see.
What the Duke of Xingguo Mansion now needs is to be low-key, and the Empress wants to show is impartial. When no one paid special attention to the Duke of Xingguo Mansion before, she could send her nanny around her to give a small meal to the lady of the Duke of Xingguo Mansion in private, and even suppress Shao Wanru. At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Duke of Xingguo Mansion, and the Empress would not extend her hand anymore.
"That's great. You don't have to learn from morning to night in the future! The lady's rules were already very good!" Yu Jie was very happy. She really felt that there was nothing to learn from the lady with Madam Xi. The lady's rules had been learned very well. Madam Xi could not tell the lady's mistakes even if she was picky.
Shao Wanru smiled faintly, but had no contact. There was never the best in this palace, only the better one!
Besides, no matter how good you learn, if someone asks for trouble and says you don’t learn well, you can still fight with the people in the palace? If you fight, you are ignorant and you will even be punished. I remember that I was punished for misconduct and was sent by Shao Yanru to salute sideways under the sun until I couldn’t stand and fainted. I also asked myself to go to Shao Yanru to accompany him to salute again the next day.
This palace has never been a place to be reasonable.
The winter of this year was particularly cold, and Shao Wanru didn't want to go out. Fortunately, the entire Xingguo Duke's Mansion looked extremely quiet this year. Everyone seemed to have a peaceful year and didn't plan to make a fuss.
Although the third wife was in charge of the affairs of Duke Xingguo’s Mansion for the first time, she was basically in order. Everyone slowly accepted the absence of Duke Xingguo’s wife, and only said that she was in poor health now, and it was great for her to raise her body in Yuhui’s Palace, so naturally she could not let her work hard anymore.
As soon as the New Year is over, the draft will start. It was originally prepared early. As long as the time is specified, you can enter the palace according to the list.
Because there are four ladies in Xingguo Duke's Mansion to enter the palace, the originally depressed mansion became lively. The grandma would give her rewards from time to time and would invite people from the garment shop outside to go directly to the mansion to sew more sets of fitted clothes for the ladies who entered the palace.
