Chapter 21 This is for you
Biyun Mengdong was dragged away.
Concubine Xu was directly locked up in the woodshed in the backyard of Lanxin Pavilion.
As for Jin Weige, his previous flustered look was completely different and his eyes were filled with pride.
Look, she is still the emperor's most beloved concubine!
Even if all the evidence pointed to her, even if someone framed her, she was just put in solitary confinement.
Bai Wutong leaned against the eaves pillar, clenched his fists tightly, and just swallowed the fishy and sweet taste in his throat.
Jin Weige is truly the emperor’s favorite. Even though it has come to this, she should still be treated with care.
In order to protect her face and reputation, she even executed Biyun and Mengdong directly!
Biyun was so innocent. Although Meng Dong was at fault, she did not kill Lady Gao, but she ended up dead.
The imperial family is the most ruthless, and Bai Wutong has witnessed it today.
Zhang Chengyan was in a very bad mood and left in anger.
In a blink of an eye, Lanxin Pavilion became completely quiet.
Lian Xin trotted over, "My Lady."
"Go back."
"Yes." She saw that Bai Wutong was in a bad mood, and raised her hand to support him. "Your Majesty, don't worry. Now that the real murderer has been found, just be careful in the future, and nothing should happen. It's just that the emperor dotes on Rong Fei too much, and even kills people with care. Your Majesty, don't provoke her in the future."
Bai Wutong didn't want to say more, so he went back to the side hall, picked up the remaining cakes from today, and went to the woodshed in the backyard.
Lin Sheng was holding a white silk in his hand and was about to enter the room.
"Master Lin." Bai Wutong, supported by Lianxin, came to the entrance of the firewood room. "I want to go in and see Concubine Xu off. Can I? I grew up in a Taoist temple and Concubine Xu is a Buddhist, so we are one family. I brought some cakes with me, at least to sweeten her mouth and not let her die of hunger on the way."
Anyway, Concubine Xu is doomed to die, and the emperor dotes on Concubine Bai so much, so it won't matter if he does her a favor in the end.
"Your Majesty, please." Lin Sheng stepped aside with a respectful attitude.
"Thank you, Lord Lin." Bai Wutong asked Lianxin to wait at the door and went into the woodshed alone.
The room was dark and damp.
There was only a faint candlelight.
Concubine Xu leaned against the pile of firewood with a calm expression.
Hearing the sound, she raised her head and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you...Bai Meiren?"
"Yes, it's me." Bai Wutong put down the basket and took out the cakes. "Eat something before you go on your way."
Xu Concubine smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that the person who came to see me off was you. We have never met before. Why are you so kind? Or did Concubine Rong ask you to come?"
Bai Wutong shook his head, "It's not her. Rong Fei and I have an irreconcilable feud."
Xupin paused as she was about to take the cake. "What... did you say?"
"I have an irreconcilable relationship with Rong Fei. I came to the palace to kill her! Although I don't know why you framed Rong Fei, I can see that you really hate her. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so I came to see you off."
Xupin stared at Bai Wutong and shook her head. "You are just a little beauty, how can you deal with Rong Guifei? Today's incident is so serious, didn't the emperor choose to keep things quiet for her? You want to kill her, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven, you might as well think about how to protect yourself."
Don't let yourself get involved instead of being able to deal with Concubine Rong.
Bai Wutong was not angry. "You kept silent today and said you knew nothing. When the emperor threatened you with your mother, you mentioned Concubine Rong to increase credibility. I'm afraid it wasn't Concubine Rong who promised to help you solve your father's problem, but someone else, right? Only by mixing the truth and the lies can people believe it."
"You dropped the earring on purpose so that the emperor could find you. In fact, I knew you were determined to die the moment you stepped into Lanxin Pavilion. Although I don't know what your father did, I think it might have implicated your family. You used your death to protect them from disaster. You are such a good daughter."
Bai Wutong came to see her not only to get information, but also to see her off sincerely.
As a daughter, I am willing to sacrifice my life for my parents.
She thought about herself. Her father and mother died just for her to live. How similar were the two!
Xupin picked up the cake and took a bite. The sweet taste bloomed in her mouth. "Bai Meiren, you are very smart. It is true. You came to see me off for the last time so that I would not starve to death on the road. I will accept your favor."
She came closer and whispered, "No one in this harem can be trusted. Even those who look harmless are actually more vicious behind the scenes! Especially those who entered the palace early. They fought to the death in the palace. The child in Concubine Rong's belly is not something she can't keep."
Xupin took off her sachet and stuffed it into Bai Wutong's hand. "Thank you, you can go now."
Bai Wutong walked out of the woodshed.
Lin Sheng nodded and put the white silk into it.
The breathing sound went from fast to slow, and finally disappeared completely.
Concubine Xu died.
Lian Xin supported her, "My Lady, let's go."
"Okay." Bai Wutong looked up at the sky. It turned out that human life was also so fragile.
All you need is this small piece of white silk to take it away.
This night is destined to be sleepless.
The harem was as peaceful as ever.
It seemed as if the deaths of Gao Jingwan and Xu Bin were just insignificant matters that were blown away by the wind.
Bai Wutong finished washing up and came to the yard.
There was no one in the main hall, only two pieces of white cloth fluttering in the wind.
Xiao Ningzi ran over in a hurry, "Madam, Eunuch Wang is here and said he has an imperial decree!"
Bai Wutong stood up and went to the door to greet him.
Wang Decai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite. Please obey my order."
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The series of unfortunate events that have occurred in Lanxin Pavilion are truly unlucky. Lady Bai is frightened, and I am deeply concerned. I order Lady Bai to move to Xueqiong Garden. I decree this!"
"I accept your order."
Bai Wutong stood up and ordered Lianxin to stuff a handful of gold leaves into the bag.
Wang Decai smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. "Your Majesty, you are so polite! Xueqiong Garden is a great place. It is not only quiet, but it was just renovated last year. Now you are the only one living there. I have already ordered someone to clean it up. If there is anything else you need, please send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
He waved his hand to call other eunuchs and presented a tray covered with red cloth. "The emperor was worried that you would be frightened, so he specially ordered me to bring you a reward. Your good days are still to come!"
