Chapter 190: Concubine Yue Twenty Years Ago
Feng Huali shook her head firmly. She believed in Meng Wanzhou. Just as Caihe believed in herself, Feng Huali never thought that this matter had something to do with Meng Wanzhou: "Stop talking, she is not that kind of person."
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Cai He's voice became much weaker: "But if you testify against Meng Wanzhou, you might be able to clear your suspicion."
"Who do you think of me?" Feng Huali glared at Caihe. Caihe should know what she usually does. It would be too much to ask herself to betray her friends to get peace.
Caihe then closed her mouth and didn't dare to speak again. Caihe also brought some things to Feng Huali. After all, Feng Huali was alone here, and she would always lack some food and use.
On the other hand, Rong Suzhi was also taken to an old palace. There were records of criminals from all dynasties. Because they were very old and few people could read them, so naturally no one was taking care of them here, so a lot of dust accumulated and many books were already moldy.
Rong Suzhi and Su San came to find the concubine who was sent to prison seven years ago, but after searching for it for a whole afternoon, Rong Suzhi was sweating profusely and was so tired that he was about to faint. Who would have thought that the name book here contained several criminals during the reign of the emperor, and there were countless people.
Moreover, these things didn't even have a classification, and they were just arranged in a mess. Maybe this one belonged to the current emperor, and the one next to them belonged to the previous emperor. So naturally, Rong Suzhi got nothing, and it was like coming in vain.
Su San also came over at this time. He quickly fanned Rong Suzhi. Looking at his face and expression, he knew that he had gained nothing. Rong Suzhi glanced at Su San and suddenly felt like he had been deceived by Yan Yu. He just came to a dull and dirty court to find the famous book of the year, but he still owed Yan Yu a favor, which was really not worth it.
"Go back and tell you the emperor that the favor will be written off." Rong Suzhi said impatiently, and he wanted to laugh away with a favor when he tricked him into such a broken place. He was really thinking too beautifully.
"This... isn't that good?" Su San felt a little embarrassed.
Rong Suzhi gave Su San a blank look and wanted to leave with a favor. He really treated him as a vegetarian: "Yes, yes, yes, it's not good. Let's go back and tell you the emperor that from now on, he owes me a favor."
Su San was even more frightened. If he went back to report like this, he would not have been scolded to death by Yan Yu. So Su San thought about it and finally came up with a solution: "Although he couldn't find such a person, the villain had heard of something."
"Speak up if you have anything," Rong Suzhi fanned himself and said.
Su San once heard of such a thing: twenty years ago, the late emperor was so fascinated by Concubine Yue. No matter what she wanted, the late emperor would give her. Even the late emperor once said that he would rather give up the world than make the beauty smile.
But who would have thought that the late emperor would encounter Concubine Yue having an affair with others? The late emperor was furious and ordered the execution of Concubine Yue. But after all, the relationship was there, and the late emperor finally couldn't bear it, so he let her go and locked her in a dead cell to reflect.
Then Concubine Yue gave birth to a girl in prison, and Concubine Ye escaped from prison. The late emperor was even more furious, but he did not deal with the girl and wanted to keep the girl in the death row. Because the late emperor felt that leaving such a child, Concubine Yue would come back to find her one day.
But after that, she had never seen Concubine Yue again for many years, and she seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Later, the story of the Emperor's other beloved concubines gradually turned on, and no one mentioned it again.
So the matter was settled so much that almost no one except the old people in the palace at that time knew about it. Su Sanzu had been doing bad things in the palace for generations, so he naturally had some knowledge of such strange and strange things.
"I know you didn't say it earlier?" Rong Suzhi took a deep breath. Since there was news long ago, why did he waste so much time looking for it? Did Su San deliberately do it?
Su San flattened his mouth: "Isn't this because you said it was seven years ago, but is this actually twenty years ago? I have never heard of any concubine who gave birth to a child in a death row."
As for what I said, the gap between these twenty years and seven years is indeed a bit big. Rong Suzhi remembered the child he saw that day, and his figure was only ten years old at most. But if this happened, it would mean that the child was already twenty years old.
But this sounds too outrageous, but the only thing that meets the conditions in this palace is that happened twenty years ago. Maybe if you follow that line, how can you get the information you want? Rong Suzhi hurriedly said, "Why don't you give me the portrait of Concubine Yue?"
Su San glanced at Rong Suzhi in embarrassment. He wanted to take it, but the portrait of Concubine Yue in the palace was destroyed. Su San dared not offend him: "The empress dowager only has a unique portrait."
"Empress Dowager?" Rong Suzhi frowned, realizing that the origin of this was not simple, "What does the empress do to do that painting?"
"I don't know this, the little slave." Su San said.
If you say that you keep something from the late emperor as a souvenir, it is still a bit unreasonable to leave behind a portrait of the late emperor's favorite concubine. Who in the harem knows that there are fighting and fighting? There is no one left of the late emperor's concubine back then, and it is even more difficult for the queen mother to get to this point.
Perhaps the Empress Dowager had an aggression with Concubine Yue, so she retained her portrait and destroyed the portraits of everyone else. But this is quite strange. This is how great the grudges and grudges are there to keep her portrait by her side.
Rong Suzhi was guessing here, but he couldn't guess the result. He liked to go straight and then decided to go straight to the empress dowager to ask for the portrait, and then ask what happened back then.
As the first prince of the Yin Kingdom, he met the Queen Mother without any obstacles. The Queen Mother was having leisure time and brewed a cup of tea for him: "I wonder what the matter is coming to find the Ai family today?"
Rong Suzhi said: "Show me the portrait of Concubine Yue."
The Empress Dowager was stunned. She didn't expect that he would really give face. She didn't say a polite word, but came up and said something serious: "What do you want the portrait of Concubine Yue to do?"
Rong Suzhi glanced at her. Because she didn't know what her relationship with Concubine Yue had, she concealed the matter of the child in the death row and said that she was investigating some things. The empress dowager was also very happy and asked her servant to take the portrait on the spot. This made Rong Suzhi feel a little relieved.
He was worried that the Empress Dowager would ask questions and would not hand over the portrait to himself. Now it seems that the Empress Dowager might not negotiate with the Concubine Yue, but just kept such a painting.
The portrait was quickly brought up. When the first sight of the beauty on the portrait, Rong Suzhi was immediately attracted to his eyes. The woman's skin was as creamy as cream, her eyebrows were clear and her eyes were beautiful, and her expression seemed to be smiling but she couldn't help but fall into it.
Rong Suzhi looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't move his gaze away. The Queen Mother saw it and smiled: "Your expression is exactly the same as the expressions of the ministers when they met Concubine Yue. Everyone praised her as the pride of heaven. She was so lucky to be born so beautiful."
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but remember that when Concubine Yue first entered the palace, she was very popular with the ancestors. At that time, the Empress Dowager was just a small maid. Now, the Empress Dowager has become the Empress Dowager that thousands of people admire. At that time, Concubine Yue, who was on the altar at that time...
These are all fates. The Queen Mother sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't see her now, otherwise you will definitely think she is so beautiful."
Rong Suzhi then withdrew his gaze and put away the scroll. Although the woman in the painting was very beautiful, he was completely thinking about another thing just now. The more Rong Suzhi looked at the woman in the painting, the more he felt that the woman's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to the person he knew, but Rong Suzhi could not remember who it was.
The Empress Dowager praised Concubine Yue so much, and I think she had some understanding of her. Rong Suzhi asked: "What happened to Concubine Yue back then that time, and she was thrown into death jail?"
"I only know that the emperor caught her having an affair with other men, but before Concubine Yue was imprisoned, she kept saying that she was wronged," the empress dowager shook her head, "I don't know anything else, after all, I was just a maid back then."
Rong Suzhi nodded, and the queen mother even agreed to let him take the portrait away. Rong Suzhi believed even more that she had no deep hatred with Concubine Yue.
The Empress Dowager asked again: "Why did you investigate Concubine Yue? After all, it was already the affairs of the previous generation."
"It's just too idle. I want to know your country." Rong Suzhi smiled and made excuses. Even if he believed the Empress Dowager, he could not tell her about this matter directly, otherwise if something happened to the child, it would be his responsibility. After sitting like this for a while, Rong Suzhi made an excuse to leave.
After seeing Rong Suzhi leave, the Empress Dowager recruited her personal slave: "Go to find the old man Xifeng and check what Rong Suzhi wants to do."
Caiwei nodded. This old man Xifeng was the most mysterious existence in the palace. No one knew where he came from or how old he was. He only knew that he was white, but his face was not old.
Old Man Xifeng knows a lot of things, and he knows almost everything from all over the world. There are very few people in the palace who know him. As the queen mother's personal maid, Caiwei often goes to find this old man Xifeng, so she also knows something.
To see this old man in Xifeng, he must bring two jars of good Jiufengchun wine. He shouted three "Weifeng" at the north wall of the "Fengluo Palace" in the west, and the old man in Xifeng would appear. The old man in Xifeng had a strange temper. If he wanted to do his job for himself, he had to exchange the best Jiufengchun. In addition, he would look down on him at a glance, no matter how much gold it was, he would look down on him.
