She only needs to hand over the evidence to the emperor, and she, a dead person, can't control the rest.
The Zhu family sent her into the palace and ignored her, as if they just sent a hostage into the palace.
Her father and mother kept saying that they loved her, but they flatly refused when the emperor asked her father to come to Beijing to serve as an official.
She lived in trepidation, caught in a dilemma.
Not long ago, her father sent a letter asking her to cooperate with the Zhu family, get rid of the emperor, and change the country's surname to Zhu.
Although she is the daughter of the Zhu family, she is also the daughter-in-law of the Shen family.
Emperor Xuanwu was not a qualified husband, but he was definitely a good emperor who loved his country and his people.
The Yan Dynasty became more and more prosperous, with submission from all directions, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a prosperous and stable life.
Why would such an emperor rebel? Why should we rebel?
The queen agreed on the surface, but secretly she was collecting evidence. She was the direct daughter of the Zhu family, and officials from the Zhu family had never been on guard against her.
She originally thought that she would keep this as a bargaining chip for herself. If someone threatened her position in the future, she would use it to negotiate terms with the emperor.
Now, she couldn't use it herself.
But Jiang Xinyue can still use it.
After getting a positive answer from the emperor, the queen told him where to put the evidence.
The light in her eyes extinguished little by little, and through the emperor's figure, she seemed to have returned to the day of her wedding to the emperor.
The twelfth floor is full of makeup, and the king is watching from the Wangxian Tower. The golden beast with a locked title is cold in a chain, and the copper dragon with dripping water makes the day longer. After combing her bun, she returned to the mirror, and her robe was about to be changed to make it even more fragrant. Peering into the open curtain of the main palace, palace people in robes sweep the royal bed.
"The Queen - passed away!"
A fire killed the queen, who had always wanted to be strong.
She has not yet watched the fifth prince grow up, marry him and have children. She did not become the virtuous empress she had dreamed of, so she died in this turbulent harem, amidst intrigues and the emperor's coldness.
Yanqing Palace——
"Isn't your Majesty happy?"
Lu Yin looked at Concubine De, who was sitting by the window and was unhappy, and fanned her: "The only high-ranking concubines in this palace are you and Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian has only been in the palace for a short time, and her heart is unstable. , I don’t have the capital to compete with you, the empress, the position of the queen is already in our pocket."
Concubine De was not as optimistic as she was: "Do you really think it was Concubine Rong who set the fire that burned the queen to death?"
"Is not it?"
Lu Yin recalled what she saw yesterday: "The fire fold fell out of Concubine Rong's hand, the hairpin that stabbed many people also belonged to Concubine Rong, and the jade button in Concubine Xian's hand, all the way from Jingren Palace to Yikun Palace The people in the palace also said with their own eyes that they saw Concubine Rong going to Yikun Palace."
And no one put a knife on Concubine Rong's neck to force her to go. Could this still be fake?
"The Queen, if she can summon the virtuous concubine, she can also summon the honored concubine."
As long as the time is staggered, Concubine Xian is allowed to advance to the Queen's palace, and all the maids and eunuchs near the palace are transferred away, then when Concubine Rong arrives, she will subconsciously eavesdrop on the secret conversation between the Queen and Concubine Xian.
The main door of the dormitory is far away from the conversation place. If you want to hear everything clearly, you have to go around to the back of the dormitory.
Concubine Rong may have gone behind to eavesdrop on their conversation, but she played into the hands of the queen and concubine Xian.
In that unseen place, who knows what is going on?
She didn't see Concubine Rong setting the fire herself or stabbing people with her own hands. Concubine De didn't believe anything she said.
Lu Yin couldn't figure it out at all: "Did Concubine Xian set the fire? That's not right! Then why did the Queen say it was Concubine Rong?"
"yes!"
Concubine De turned the prayer beads in her hand crazily: "Empress, why do you say she is Concubine Rong?"
It was obviously her own fault, right?
If she hadn't released it herself, how could the palace officials in Yikun Palace be so cooperative and disappear at that time, making it easier for Concubine Rong to eavesdrop?
Fenxun was so cooperative, even though his face was scratched like that, he could still run out after Concubine Rong?
"Why do you need to think too much, Madam?"
Lu Yin replied: "Whether this fire was started by Concubine Rong or Concubine Xian, the final beneficiary will only be you, Concubine Cheng, the legitimate daughter of Duke Chengguo. You are more than enough to be the emperor's successor. "
Concubine De also feels that she has been a little too tight recently, but what can be done?
The third prince lost his voice and became mute, and all her years of hard work were in vain. The second princess was still young, and without a useful brother to back her up, she would not be able to escape the tragic fate of getting married in the future.
But Lu Yin was right. Among the high-ranking concubines in the palace, Concubine Xian and her were the only ones left.
In terms of qualifications, family background, character and reputation, and even the length of time in the palace, Concubine De believed that she was much better than Jiang Xinyue.
As soon as the news of the queen's death came out, the whole country mourned.
The emperor ordered people to set up a mourning hall in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for the officials and wives of the imperial court to pay their respects. There are usually various tablets, titles, etc. in the mourning hall, as well as the utensils used by the queen during her lifetime.
Empress Zhu was posthumously named Empress Xiaoxian Xuanwen by Emperor Xuanwu and was scheduled to be buried in the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum in early June.
The emperor stayed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for three days and three nights. In the next few days, he ordered people to restore the burned palace of Yikun Palace to its original state.
Pei Wu went to Chengqian Palace for three days in a row, which made the Queen Mother think that she could rescue Concubine Rong from Xuanjing Division.
In the past few days, the harem was as quiet as a dead city. No one dared to do anything unnecessary to touch the emperor's reverse scale.
Hanging Mirror Division——
Concubine Rong, with messy hair on her head, pulled the clothes of the woman wearing a cloak outside the cell, and said urgently: "Pei Wu, did Auntie the Queen Mother ask you to rescue me? Let me out. Can you let me out quickly?" ?I don’t want to stay in this damn place for a moment anymore.”
Under the cloak was a charming face. She smiled at the corner of her mouth: "The Queen Mother asked me to tell Concubine Rong that it is best to take all the blame on yourself, otherwise... she will let her You’ll never be able to speak.”
"Wha...what?"
Concubine Rong loosened her fingers and took two steps back: "Aunt...want to kill me?"
Pei Wu smiled: "How can Concubine Rong say that? The Queen Mother is kind-hearted. If she hadn't cared about you and Concubine Shu and brought you into the palace, you should have been exiled to Ninggu Pagoda. "
Where is Ninggu Pagoda?
Even Concubine Rong's father couldn't stand the rubbing and died there. One can only imagine what would happen to these two delicate little girls.
The two sisters should have died in Ninggu Pagoda long ago. How could they still have the chance to enter the palace and become the empress of the harem with no worries about food and clothing?
Concubine Rong's eyes flashed with countless complicated emotions, and she shook her head: "If I confess, the emperor will kill me."
The emperor did not know about the false pregnancy that framed Concubine Shu. If she told the whole story, the emperor would definitely kill her.
After all, Concubine Shu was reduced from Bai Yueguang to a leftover, and this incident was indispensable.
