The steward aunt holding her cloak disappeared.
Concubine Ju is worthy of being the person who has been in charge of the harem for twenty years. After realizing that the entire Qianqing Palace was on guard, she returned to the dragon bed and knelt down, "Your Majesty, it is the aunt in charge, and she is the one who is plotting to murder my concubine."
"If I really wanted to harm you, how could I overturn the bowl and spoon? I have also been tricked. Please give me a clear warning from the emperor." She burst into tears again.
It's just that last time it was for love, now it's for innocence.
Tianjia raised the corner of his mouth, and it was hard to tell whether it was a smile or a sarcasm. After a long time, he said, "Mr. Wu will take people to find the aunt who is the steward of Chengqian Palace."
"Then the Emperor is here..." Manager Wu was still a little scared.
How relieved I felt at first, now I feel so worried.
The imperial concubine actually wants to poison the emperor! This is something that makes me break out in cold sweats thinking about it countless nights!
"It doesn't matter." Tianjia waved his hand, lifted the quilt and stood up, "She can't even try to kill me."
Manager Wu then took the people away with confidence.
Silence returned to the main hall, and Concubine Ju slumped on the ground, wishing to find her aunt in charge immediately to clear her innocence.
"Your Majesty..." She wanted to say something else, but when she saw the man's expression, she wisely closed her mouth.
Time passed bit by bit, and every breath was torture.
Just when Concubine Ju was about to lose her endurance, Manager Wu came back with the guards, "To report to the Emperor, the steward's aunt committed suicide..."
Conspiracy, this is a conspiracy.
Concubine Ju was spinning, realizing that she had been tricked.
She almost immediately kneeled in front of Tianjia, hoping that he would save her and that he would not misunderstand.
From poisoning to cats to the suicide of the housekeeper's aunt, so many coincidences in this series are definitely artificial calculations.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Ju wailed, "Your Majesty, you have to believe me. I definitely have no intention of harming you, absolutely not."
Normally, this man would have knelt down, wiped away her tears, and then held her in his arms.
But now he just looked over coldly, indifferent.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Ju's heart became heavier and heavier, "Don't you believe me?"
Tianjia raised the corners of his mouth, "I believe you, but I can't trust the Ju family."
All the maids in Chengqian Palace were carefully selected, but the aunt in charge was from the Ju family and had a husband who was a servant in the Ju family.
Concubine Ju may not want to poison her husband, but what about the Ju family?
Do the Ju family want to support the new emperor, do they want to become relatives, do they want to return to a top family?
"No, it can't be the Ju family." Concubine Ju denied it flatly, then took two steps forward on her knees, "Your Majesty, it really can't be the Ju family, it's impossible."
This time, Tianjia chose to avoid it.
The breath of despair spread in the hall, and a cold feeling spread from his legs and feet.
The aunt in charge who committed suicide proved that the conspiracy was very thorough, but Concubine Ju was really not sure whether the Ju family had this idea.
In other words, it doesn’t matter if you have it or not.
Once the Tian family is punished, the Ju family will be completely destroyed.
It was my mother's house, with parents, brothers, nephews, nieces, and countless relatives and servants.
Concubine Ju felt a sharp pain in her heart, knowing that there was nothing she could do to save her.
She stood up unsteadily and said with tears in her eyes, "It's me."
Tianjia turned around suddenly.
"I was the one who poisoned you, it was me who wanted to harm you." Concubine Ju choked up, "Obviously we love each other so much, and I met you first, but because of my status and family background, just because I am the daughter of the Ju family, I can only be forced to be your concubine."
"The Ju family has been a noble family for generations, and they have had a concubine for so many years, and that is me, this unfilial daughter!"
"My father blamed me and my mother advised me. Everyone hopes that I can find another husband, but I must stay with you, even if I am a concubine."
"It's been twenty years. I've been your concubine for twenty years. Now I want to be concubine not for myself, but for my children." Concubine Ju burst into tears, "Obviously it was you who betrayed us, but you want to Why should my child take on the identity of a concubine? Why should he?"
She once had the opportunity to become someone else's first wife, and she also had the opportunity to give birth to a legitimate child.
But for the sake of her childhood sweetheart, she sacrificed her tolerance, but in the end she lost her most important inheritance status.
"I know you love me and dote on me. You let me give birth to your eldest son first, but isn't that still a concubine?" Concubine Ju smiled sadly, "He should have been the legitimate eldest son. He should have everything."
Tianjia is silent.
I once thought that pampering could resist everything, but it was still not enough in the face of interests.
But he was not qualified to say that Concubine Ju was wrong. It was every mother's instinct to fight for her children.
"Aruo." The man said hoarsely, trying to give his lover a last chance, "This matter involves the Ju family, but it will never hurt you and Hong'er."
"No, it's just me. I have nothing to do with the Ju family." Concubine Ju was hysterical. "If the emperor still remembers the past feelings, don't implicate the innocent and punish the concubine for her crime. It's the concubine who deserves to die because she has evil intentions."
Don't hurt...her maternal family.
Tianjia was crumbling, his thin body coughed several times, and the vibrations made his chest hurt.
He waved his hand and fell weakly on the dragon bed, "Come here, take Concubine Ju back to Chengqian Palace, remove her title as concubine, and she is not allowed to leave even half a step."
It didn't say that he would be demoted to a commoner, nor that he would be imprisoned for life.
But if he didn't speak, Concubine Ju would have no choice but to die and inherit Qian Palace.
For the family... is it worth it?
The man couldn't hold it in any longer and coughed so violently that he felt like he was about to spit out his lungs.
"Is it worth it for the sake of the family?" Mr. Wu couldn't help but ask this question when he sent the Ju family back to the palace. "You and the Ju family share the same honor and favor. It's rare for the Ju family to be better off if you offend it, let alone , you also have the eldest prince."
Move the whole body.
Compared with the Ju family being convicted because of Concubine Ju, it would be better to sacrifice the Ju family to protect Concubine Ju's mother and son.
This is also the most common way for harems to protect themselves by breaking off their arms.
"Don't worry, I have a way to prevent the Tian family from holding the Ju family accountable." Mrs. Ju's tone was calm, "I will never sacrifice my mother's family. It is more about my mother's family than me fighting for the honor and favor of my mother's family." Stand up for me.”
"Empress Yan did not have the support of her mother's family, so she and her children fell into that situation. As long as the Ju family is here, I, Hong'er, will not be bullied."
She walked calmly, one step at a time.
In the harem, I have seen all kinds of frame-up and slander, and have persecuted countless lives. Whether you like it or not, you have to do this if you want to survive.
Now, it's finally her turn.
When I returned to the cold Chengqian Palace, both the steward aunt and the personal maid disappeared without a trace, and there was no one to serve her inside or outside.
Is this the difference between a beloved concubine and a sinful concubine?
Manager Wu sighed, and before he could turn around, Ms. Ju hit the wooden pillar with all her strength.
At the same time, Tianjia in the Qianqing Palace finally stopped coughing and spread his palms, revealing a touch of red in the veil.
Note: The crime of a concubine committing suicide was only a law of the Qing Dynasty and had nothing to do with other dynasties.
