As soon as Feng Yunxuan said this, the expressions of everyone present changed to varying degrees.
First of all, they were identified by Concubine Liu Xian and her daughter. Now it seems that the other party has gradually realized that the other party has evidence. In fact, Concubine Chu Shu may have been able to counterattack her.
It turns out, that’s how it is…
She said that Liu Xianfei and her daughter had been mute dogs for more than 20 years, how could they suddenly know how to bite people?
It turns out that you feel that the Chu family is not as good as before, and you want to use this matter as a pledge of surrender to the emperor and Feng Xi?
"Hey, you don't want to be an enemy. What about when you made suggestions for Yu'er? You've done all these harmful things. Now it's too late to say you don't want to be an enemy~"
"Shu Fei must know why Yun Xuan helped his fourth brother. If you hadn't used the excuse to threaten him, how could Yun Xuan violate his own principles?"
"What's done is done!"
"A threat is a threat."
…
Seeing that Concubine Chu Shu was unwilling to give in, and Feng Yunxuan obviously had no intention of giving in, Emperor Sheng De finally knocked on the table and said:
"I will make my own judgment on what is right and wrong, not who of you can say something nice or what I think."
Although he hated Concubine Chu Shu's pity for Feng Yunxuan, he did not intend to deal with this matter with personal emotions.
Because of this kind of bias caused by personal likes and dislikes, he had watched it countless times during the late emperor's reign.
Although he cannot completely avoid it, he must try his best to avoid it.
Sure enough, when Emperor Sheng De said this, Concubine Chu Shu and Feng Yunxuan both shut up. Concubine Liu Xian even said some kind words in a warm voice, indicating that they were not trying to please Emperor Sheng De by surrendering.
Emperor Sheng De did not comment on this, but Concubine Fang Guifei on the side couldn't help laughing:
"In that case, how about Sister Xian Fei and I put things behind us and become a pair of heart-to-heart good sisters?"
Concubine Liu Xian was speechless, but Concubine Fang was not annoyed:
"You know that Jing'er has always been devoted to Yuan'er. She will not be as ignorant as the fourth prince and always make things difficult for Yunxuan, her 'sister'~"
Over there, Concubine Fang was running against Concubine Liu Xian and Concubine Chu Shu in a strange way, including Feng Yu and Feng Yunxuan. Over here, Feng Xi was watching the excitement and said to Qi Xiao without taking it too seriously:
"Look at how happy she is smiling. The way she laughs at fifty steps and a hundred steps, does it look like Feng Yuan when she saw our ship sinking in Shenyuan? Then she sank herself."
Concubine Fang: "..."
Although she knew that after Emperor Sheng De investigated Concubine Chu Shu, he would definitely come back to cause trouble for her.
But she is here to watch the whole process. How can she be punished more severely than that bitch Concubine Chu Shu?
impossible!
Amid the chatter of the women, Emperor Sheng De, who was almost overwhelmed by the noise, finally received four key witnesses.
The two nuns who delivered the baby for Concubine Liu Xian and the eunuch sent by the Supervisor of Ceremonies to watch over the situation knelt down in tears when they saw Emperor Sheng De.
"The slave is guilty, he is guilty!"
Among them, the tears of the waiting eunuch were the most real, because the ceremonial eunuchs were all the servants who were closest to Emperor Shengde. Even if they had little contact with Emperor Shengde, they would have had a lot of contact with the eunuch Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi recognized the other person. In the past, he thought the other person was a bit clever and wanted to promote him.
But then he suddenly heard that he was ill, and he didn't ask about the rest of it in detail, knowing that Shi Ren was dead long ago.
Now that I see him looking so haggard and thin, looking like he is obviously shrinking from life, I feel a little sad in my heart.
As eunuchs and female envoys, they all pay attention to their actions, and when serving in a place like the Director of Ceremonies, they need to keep a clear mind at all times and know their priorities.
Some bribes and rewards are accepted as soon as they are collected, while others are embarrassing money that must not be accepted.
Just like the matter of Concubine Chu Shu...
There was no need for Emperor Sheng De and Zhao Xi to ask in detail. The three people who knew they were guilty immediately told everything they knew, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
For example, how they accepted the bribe from Concubine Chu Shu, what they said to the eldest maid Wan Lian at the time, and how they set up a trap to kill them afterwards.
Concubine Liu Xian and her daughter's help regardless of previous suspicions clearly left a deep impression on them.
Therefore, when they identified Concubine Chu Shu, they could not help but express gratitude to these two people.
In short, it sounds like Concubine Chu Shu is extremely evil, while Concubine Liu Xian and her daughter are kind and kind.
"Okay, I understand."
After waving the three of them down, the people outside welcomed the unlucky Chen Changzai in.
Emperor Shengde was the emperor, and he couldn't recognize all the concubines in the harem, so naturally he couldn't recognize the three people just now.
Fortunately, Chen Changzai knew this.
It's not how beautiful the other person is or how good his temperament is, but it's that the other person has a kind of honesty that is rare among women from aristocratic families.
Why do you say that?
Because the other party carefully told him that the emperor had someone she liked on the night she went to bed.
It's just that the other party was young and devoted to his career. In order to seek a chance to marry her in an upright manner, he went to the border to join the army early.
Unfortunately, the place where the other party went was prone to banditry, and he never came back alive.
She misses him deeply and is willing to stay loyal to him for the rest of her life. However, it is hard to disobey her father's orders and her mother's instructions, so she is forced to enter this deep palace.
It happened that Emperor Shengde didn't have that intention at all, so he rewarded her with some toys to make her retreat.
This is also the reason why Chen Changzai, who was supposed to be a promise, was promoted.
With a higher status, even if you don't have honor and favor, you can still live better by relying on the monthly routine, right?
Unexpectedly, she drowned later, which surprised him.
However, when they met by chance, he never thought about the inner meaning of it. Or maybe he was so focused on his former dynasty and his family that he had no time to care about the harem.
Therefore, when Liu Xianfei talked about Chang Zai, he already believed most of the other person's identifications.
"Concubine, see the emperor, noble concubine, virtuous concubine, virtuous concubine..."
Chen Changyi always saluted all the nobles present. His face was weathered but not ugly, and he was cautious but not humble.
And when Emperor Shengde asked about what happened back then, she was ruthless in identifying Concubine Chu Shu and Wan Lian.
Concubine Chu Shu wanted to quibble, and she indeed did so.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, this is a lie that this bitch and Concubine Liu Xian and her daughter teamed up to frame my concubine. You must not believe it!"
However, when Chen Changzai disappeared inexplicably for many years, and others also identified her, her defense was far less convincing than Chen Changzai's silence.
After all, if he hadn't suffered too much and had too many reasons to have to do so, the other party wouldn't be able to be like this.
Thinking of this, Emperor Shengde immediately said coldly:
"From today on, Concubine Chu Tang is demoted to the concubine of Chu and is under house arrest in Changchun Palace. No one is allowed to visit me. The fourth prince, Feng Yu, does not know how to persuade his mother. Instead, he goes along with her. In the future, he will not be allowed to do anything he wants without being summoned by me. Enter the palace."
"emperor!"
Concubine Chu Shu's eyes widened and she looked at Emperor Sheng De almost in disbelief.
Just for the two bitches Liu Xianfei and Feng Yunxuan, he actually lowered his status and had to imprison himself?
You must know that she has done other outrageous things before, such as contradicting Emperor Sheng De himself.
Moreover, what were the plans of the Fang family, the Chu family, her and Concubine Fang? Wouldn't he, the emperor, know about it?
They are always ready to wait for his death so that they can compete for this supreme position!
But even so, he didn't punish them, why...
Concubine Chu Shu didn't understand, and Emperor Sheng De obviously didn't intend to explain it to her, because he knew that Concubine Chu Shu would not be entangled in this issue soon.
"As for the other Changchun Palace people who were involved in this matter, Zhao Xi will take them down and take care of them."
"Yes~"
Other palace people?
who!
Almost immediately after hearing the order, Wan Lian and others cried and begged:
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life! Your Majesty, please save your slave..."
However, the Yangxin Hall was Zhao Xi's territory. Zhao Xi just waved the fly whisk in his hand, and Wan Lian and others were mercilessly dragged down.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Chu Shu's arch-rival Fang Guifei became happy.
Because from today on, she is still the superior Concubine Fang, while Concubine Chu Shu has become a concubine of Chu. When she sees her, she has to give her a big gift, and she can also punish the other concubine of Chu at will.
But her happiness did not last long, because Chen Changzai, who had been silent for a long time, actually spoke again.
It's just that the target of the bombardment this time is no longer Concubine Chu Shu, but Concubine Fang who is gloating about her misfortune.
"Your Majesty, this concubine wants to report that Concubine Fang harmed the emperor's heirs and forced the concubine. Her virtue is not worthy of her position."
Concubine Fang: "?"
