Chapter 248
248 , Zhang Jiashi's Death
Outside the curtain, the rain was gurgling, and there were many torrential rains in summer, but today's rain was pattering, and it had been falling since he woke up.It was sweltering for a long time, but it was much cooler.Zhu'er waited on Wen Xi to make up, applied a little sweet-scented osmanthus oil with her hands quickly, and smoothed her hair before starting to comb the flag bun layer by layer. There was a smooth swallowtail bun on the back of her head.What I comb today is just an ordinary tin hair, which is relatively simple, with a phoenix tin with dots of emerald inlaid with rubies and gold pearls, and rice bead pendants hanging down on the left and right sides, which is also very beautiful.A pair of red jadeite drop bead earrings on the ears, swaying and shining.
Wen Xi nodded to the mirror, Wen Wen smiled and said: "The phoenix tin presented by the building office is very good." Touching the emerald phoenix on the left and right, with a string of rice beads in his mouth, hanging two inches down, on the center of the brow is the five blessings It is in the shape of emerald flowers, and there is a big ruby like a goose egg in it, the color is like blood, very pure.
Zhu'er smiled and said, "There is also a phoenix tin made of red gold phoenix wearing peony, which is more luxurious."
Wen Xi slightly shook her head and said, "That one is too heavy, and it's clearly made of gold. Wearing it on makes you look like a nouveau riche."
Zhu'er was smiling, and took two jasper magpie hairpins and fixed them in her hair, and said: "Hu Yu came back early in the morning, Zhang Jiashu concubine gave birth to a princess at Chenshi, it's a pity that he was bleeding a lot , I don’t know how long it can last. The imperial physician has already given the Ejiao Hemostatic Decoction, so it’s up to good luck to last for a few days.” The tone said, I’m afraid it won’t last long.
Wen Xi groaned, she was bleeding profusely, isn't she dead yet?He said again: "The new batch of jewelry made by the Zaobu Office is pretty good. I saw that the white jade hairpins were so lifelike, and I asked the Zaobu Office to make some silver jewelry. Let's send them out of the palace to Er Niang." Er Niang also wanted to give it to her. The old lady Dai Xiao, within three years all fancy jewelry will be sealed up, only some silver jewelry, white jade, ebony, red sandalwood, and ivory can still be used.
Since Zhu'er came into the palace with her, she has been given the responsibility of sending things out of the palace, and she can also ask her to go out of the palace to see her daughter Luhen.Luhen, this is the name of the new generation of Niu Hulu's Cheng'en Gongfu maids, such as Luwei and Lurui around Ruyan, Lupeony and Luyao around Wanjing, etc.
There was no funeral report from Yonghe Palace, so Wen Xi summoned Hu Yu.Take a few palace people and go to Yonghe Palace to have a look.The secret concubine looked good, and led Wen Xi to Zhang Jia's side hall, saying: "Although the tenth princess had a difficult delivery, she is in good health." But she never mentioned what happened to Zhang Jia's, and she knew it too.Not going anywhere.
The delivery room was heavily scented, it smelled like a strong plum scent, the most effective way to dispel the smell, even so, Wen Xi still smelled the bloody smell.Zhang Jiashi was lying on the bed, her originally high belly had been flattened.The person was as pale as a piece of white paper, and there was no blood on his face.Even the sound of breathing was extremely weak.
Seeing Wen Xi coming, she didn't think it was strange, instead she smiled, "The imperial concubine is here." The meaning in the words seemed to be waiting for Wen Xi to come.
The attendant maid helped the frail Zhang Jia to get up, snuggled up against a soft pillow, and then retreated to one side.Zhang Jiashi was panting with difficulty, but the tenth princess was not in the delivery room.She was taken away by the secret concubine at birth, Zhang Jia probably never even saw her.
Zhang Jiashi looked up at Concubine Mi.Said: "Miss Concubine, can you let the concubine and the imperial concubine talk alone?"
Wen Xi also came to see Zhang Jia off today, so she said, "Concubine Mi, you go out first." She waved her hand and told Hu Yu and the others to wait outside.
Zhang Jia straightened up with difficulty, and sat on the bed, "I'm dying, I just can't keep my mouth shut."
Wen Xi covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and said, "You tell me."
People say that when a person is about to die, his words are good, but there are also people who will not repent, such as the person in front of Wen Xi.
"Back then, maids and concubines were extremely submissive in the palace of the empress, but did they ever offend the empress again?" Zhang Jia asked suddenly.
Wen Xi thought for a while, that Zhang Jia was indeed extremely submissive in the years before his betrayal, and shook his head slightly: "No, it's just that people's hearts are unpredictable. The more obedient you seem, the more likely you are to harbor evil intentions. This It was you who made me understand the truth."
Zhang Jia couldn't help but smiled wryly, "No concubine wants to be favored by the emperor. The same is true for maids and concubines. Just because the empress doesn't like people in her palace to go to bed, the favor of maids and concubines is almost cut off! Then Liu Promise, the same!"
Wen Xi smiled and said, "Is that why you hate me?"
Mrs. Zhang Jia snorted softly, and said: "Isn't it a matter of course? Maids and concubines are not cloth nobles. They have a daughter to rely on. If there is no favor, there will be no heirs. If there are no heirs, there will be no support in this life! Madam How can the maid and concubine not hate her if she no longer relies on her for the rest of her life?"
Wen Xi continued to cover her mouth and nose, and said: "I don't like people in my palace to be favored. You knew it a long time ago. Since you knew it earlier, you should have planned to leave Chengqian Palace early. Thinking of replacing me with you, It’s too overwhelming!”
Zhang Jia raised her head and smiled wryly, "Should I replace it? The concubine naturally thought, but she also knew that it would be as difficult as going to heaven! The empress was a noble concubine in the past, and she was favored by the emperor. How can a concubine, a concubine, be able to replace her?" What? The matter of witchcraft is nothing more than a scheme left by the Concubine De to her concubines during her lifetime!"
Concubine De, she really was Concubine De, who would bite someone even after she died.
"Whether you believe it or not, the concubine has never thought of taking the concubine as her replacement. The concubine's wish is that if the concubine loses the emperor's favor for a while, the concubine will be able to raise her own children." Zhang Jia's eyes were miserable. Bitter way.
Zhang Jia was gasping for breath, "Your Majesty was born in a prestigious family, and she is the younger sister of Empress Xiaozhaoren, how can she understand the pain of being able to give birth to concubines and concubines?!"
Strong jealousy and hatred approached Wen Xi.The smile on Wen Xi's face became thicker and thicker, can she live or not?It's better than when Concubine Tong Gui could support her or not!Even if you can't raise it yourself, it's not that you can't meet your own children anymore.This is not enough as a reason!Wen Xi said: "Concubine An is a generous person, she has never treated you badly!" Concubine An, Mrs. Li, was also a very good talker in the palace. When Wen Xi left the palace, she always treated Mrs. Zhang Jia well and never refused She saw Elder Brother Thirteen.
"Concubine An..." Zhang Jia's jealousy grew stronger, "She treats me well only because I gave birth to her thirteen elder brothers! But I didn't have to kill her in the first place! Just because The emperor has asked someone to redecorate the Chengqian Palace, so I knew that you were coming back! If I don't kill her, the position of the sixth concubine is already full, and there is no possibility of further progress! When the empress returns, what can I use to gain a foothold? !"
Sure enough...Wen Xi thought to herself, but she killed Concubine An, and the fruit of victory belonged to Concubine Mi.
The aroma in the room is getting stronger and stronger, and the doors and windows are covered, so there is no ventilation at all.Wen Xi became more and more uncomfortable from the smoke, but fortunately, the elegant breath on the veil could relieve it a little.
Zhang Jia immediately laughed bitterly and was full of unwillingness: "I am really jealous of Wang. She is not as good as me, but she can raise her own children and go one step further to become a concubine! What she wanted, but she got it!"
Wen Xi sneered and said, "You didn't have to plan to get all of this. If you planned, you were clever but you were mistaken by your cleverness! Back then, you told Ben Gong that you were pregnant. For the sake of being obedient for many years, I will ask the emperor to ask for a master seat for you!"
Zhang Jia stroked her flat belly, and said: "When the empress gave birth, I found out that I was pregnant. I tried my best to cover it up. Originally, I thought that if the empress would have a child in one fell swoop, I would be happy, so I went Let me tell you that I am pregnant. If my mother could have her own son, she would not want this in my stomach. Unfortunately, my mother gave birth to a princess! How dare I say it?"
As she said that, Zhang Jia's face was bitter, "The emperor favors me, but because the imperial concubine has no heirs, he wants me to give birth to the imperial concubine! I will be like the concubine De in those days! I don't want to go the way she walked I will never bear the pain of being separated from my own son!"
A fierce look suddenly flashed in Zhang Jiashi's eyes, staring at Wen Xi's still flat belly, suddenly jumped off the bed and bumped towards Wen Xi's stomach!
The corner of Wen Xi's mouth raised a sneer, and the beeswax bracelet in his hand flew out, hitting Zhang Jiashi's calf.Wen Xi was not familiar with acupuncture points, but remembered the location where Hu Yu hit that day.
Zhang Jia thumped to the ground and fell at Wen Xi's feet. Wen Xi sneered and said, "Do you think that Ben Gong is not on guard against you? It feels familiar. What Ben Gong hit was the knee-yangguan acupoint on your calf. , hitting with a special technique can make the popliteal tendons tense and the calves cramp."
Zhang Jia's right calf twitched, no one helped her today, she couldn't get up naturally, she gritted her teeth and said: "That day in the main hall..." Her inexplicable calf cramps turned out to have a reason!
Wen Xi still covered her mouth and nose, and said with a smile: "But it was just a small piece of ice that day." Wen Xi squatted down, picked up the bracelet on the ground, and said, "You smoked so much musk, and it's just a small piece of ice." Thinking of rushing towards me when I was not prepared...it's a pity that I have been on guard since I entered your room."
Zhang Jiashi has hated her for a long time, so Wen Xi naturally won't be careless.The handkerchief in his hand was dyed with the dew of snow lotus, and smelling it would be most effective for morning sickness, so Wen Xi took it with him.It can also remove the harm caused by musk.
Zhang Jia's nagging said so much, but he wanted her to smell the musk for a while.Wen Xi is not yet three months old, it is when the womb is not yet firmly seated, and if she smells the strong musk for a long time, she will have a miscarriage.Although the musk in the thick plum fragrance is almost concealed by other strong spices, Wen Xi is a person who has given birth twice, so she has already been deeply guarded against musk, so how could she suffer from it again?
Zhang Jiashi opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.But he couldn't speak anymore, his breathing gradually returned to tranquility, and he fell stiffly on the ground.In this way, it can be regarded as death.Wen Xi waved the handkerchief, musk promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, which is also extremely harmful to her body that has lost too much blood.She originally wanted to burn everything together, but unfortunately Wen Xi had already seen through it.Therefore, death is not reconciled.

ps: There are 30 days in this month, [-] a day until the end of the month.There will be more changes during the big push next month, and two more changes will be guaranteed during the streaking period.
