"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu, I have indeed found something from Concubine Shu."
Yuexiang came over after taking people to search Xie Churou's place. Rather than searching for something suddenly, it was more premeditated. Anyway, the things were there, she just had to go and find them.
"But I found something."
Zheng Yinghuan asked deliberately.
Chu Yu has long been impatient. He just wants to wait here for a result, a result that can stop everyone's mouth.
"When the slaves led people to search, the people in Concubine Shu's palace looked panicked, especially a slave named Zhilan. After noticing something was wrong with her, he threatened her a few times and told everything. She said it was Concubine Shu has been particularly fond of Shelanxiang recently, so she asked her to buy a lot outside the palace."
Yuexiang clearly stated the contents of the plan word for word. After finishing speaking, she felt His Majesty's breathing became heavier and knew that it was right.
"I really don't know how Concubine Shu had the nerve to say that she was unjustly accused. Did she think that the concubine's identity could not be found out, or did she just want to pretend to beg His Majesty to spare her?"
It's time for Concubine Jia to show off her weirdness again. Anyway, things have reached this point, and one of them must be found. Since the concubine has already been prepared, they can just go down the steps.
"It turns out that it was really you who killed my child. These things were found in your palace. What else do you want to make excuses for!"
Ting Bin pointed at Xie Churou, her hands shaking non-stop. Her eyes had already been swollen as big as a walnut from crying, and her tears were almost dry.
Without the child, without His Majesty's favor, without the support of the Imperial Concubine, it would be really difficult for me to live in the harem!
Xie Churou said nothing. Seeing His Majesty's still indifferent face, she probably understood something in her heart.
"Since the imperial concubine has found the evidence, what are you talking to me about? No one will believe what I am saying."
Xie Churou closed her eyes as she appointed him, but it was inevitable that she would feel a little bit disappointed.
She thought that she had been with His Majesty for so many years and had always been gentle and dignified without doing anything wrong. She thought that if she could be in His Majesty's heart, there should be a little difference, right?
But I didn't expect it to be nothing more than this. It was nothing more than this.
In fact, if you think about it, His Majesty's attitude will change after the concubine loses her child, not to mention the same for her, right?
"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be investigated thoroughly!"
Xie Ruling couldn't help but stand up, saying that if she could bear it just now, she really felt ridiculous at this moment.
"There is no need to say more, Concubine Jing. I have already recognized you, so it is useless to waste any more words."
Xie Churou looked back at Xie Ruling.
Xie Ruling knew what this look meant, telling her to shut up and stop talking. She raised her head and glanced at His Majesty, knowing that it was really useless to talk more now.
Your Majesty really doesn't care about this matter, he just wants to get a satisfactory result and resolve the matter.
"Your Majesty, now that Concubine Shu has admitted it, how should this matter be resolved?"
Seeing the way Xie Churou had accepted her fate, Zheng Yinghuan couldn't help but smile. This was quite smart. Knowing that the result would still be the same if the trouble continued, she simply admitted the matter.
Anyway, knowing that the Queen Mother is supporting him, his life will not be in danger. At most, it will only be a painless punishment.
On the surface, Xie Churou seemed to be a person who would not fight or grab, but she always felt that the other party was planning something in his heart, and it was time to strike.
"From now on Concubine Shu will be reduced to a noble person, and she will shut herself up and think about her mistakes."
Chu Yu left a word and then stood up and left. He had stayed here long enough, and being able to resolve this matter was considered a sign of his patience.
As for whether there was any hidden secret, he didn't want to pay attention to it. He only knew that the matter seemed to be decent. Since Concubine Shu herself couldn't say anything to refute, then she was the one who did it.
"yes!"
Zheng Yinghuan bowed and saluted in the direction Chu Yu was leaving, the smile on her lips was so proud and joyful.
Xie Churou saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.
Your Majesty really doesn't worry about things in the harem, he just wants to see a satisfactory result, which has been the case many times.
In fact, she has seen it with her eyes for so many years. In many cases, it is not how capable the imperial concubine is, but simply because His Majesty does not like to get involved in the affairs of the harem, and just thinks that the result can satisfy everyone.
Xie Ruling still felt a little chilled. She didn't expect that after so many years, His Majesty's heart was getting colder and colder.
When she was wrongly accused, His Majesty would at least ask a few questions, but now he really doesn't know how to ask. He only thinks that the result is reasonable and convincing, so it is settled like this.
Fortunately, fortunately, it was just a reduction in status. Presumably His Majesty also punished me like this for the sake of my aunt, right?
"Concubine Shu, no, noble lady, it seems that all of us have misjudged you. Originally, you thought that you would not fight or compete with the world, but who knew that there was such a vicious heart buried deep in your heart!"
Concubine Li smiled, "Concubine Ting is really pitiful. She had been living silently in the harem for so many years and finally had a child, but she was killed by a noble lady. This is really a crime!"
"But that's right. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would just demote Concubine Shu's status in such a painless way. I'm afraid this will break the concubine's heart!"
Concubine Jia glanced at Zheng Yinghuan intentionally or unintentionally, knowing that all this was really what the imperial concubine meant.
I'm afraid that when Ting's concubine was pregnant, she was too pampered and offended the imperial concubine. Speaking of it, Ting's concubine herself was really afraid that she had forgotten what kind of temperament the imperial concubine had. She really thought that she would not know if she had a child in her belly. Is it appropriate?
"Okay," Zheng Yinghuan touched the hair beside her ears impatiently. After Chu Yu left, she reached the top position.
"Sister, please leave first. It's getting late, and I'm afraid it will disturb your sisters' sweet dreams. Lady Shu and Concubine Jing will stay."
"yes."
All the concubines were eager to leave. Originally, what happened tonight had nothing to do with them. What was important was to go back to bed quickly!
"The noble concubine finally got her wish."
Xie Churou looked up at Zheng Yinghuan with a mocking smile, but more than anything she really felt chilled.
His Majesty had just been so indifferent to her, and she had seen it all, and all the tenderness and affection in the past had disappeared at this moment.
In fact, it's no wonder that the concubine is so excited and has no regard for image. It's just because the child is gone, His Majesty has become so indifferent, as if the previous favor no longer exists. What a big deal it must be for a woman. What a blow!
"Ting concubine, I still have vivid memories of the scene where you held your belly and showed off in front of me. However, I am not used to seeing you in such a miserable state in the blink of an eye!"
Zheng Yinghuan asked Chu Yi to be taken out. She didn't want her daughter to see her looking so domineering.
The concubine did not dare to speak. She was not a fool. How could she not see that this matter must be related to the imperial concubine?
But she really didn't expect that the imperial concubine would be so cruel!
"I didn't know what to do at first, but now I've been punished. Please don't argue with me if you have a lot of money!"
Ting Bin took a deep breath, endured her physical weakness and knelt on the ground again. She had already clearly realized that today was different from the past, and she no longer had the confidence to be arrogant in front of the imperial concubine.
You can only bow your head and admit your mistake honestly. Only in this way can the imperial concubine calm down a little. If the imperial concubine's anger does not disappear, she will really be sad in the future.
"Ting concubine, if only you had been so sensible earlier, how could you have reached this point today?"
Zheng Yinghuan sighed leisurely and looked at Ting Bin, who was lying on the ground trembling in pain, as if she were laughing.
If she had known now, why bother then? If Ting Bin was still respectful and honest in front of her after having a child, then she would not mind allowing Ting Bin to give birth to the child safely.
But it turns out that this concubine is really arrogant and ignorant. She wants to wait until she gives birth to a child before she is proud of herself. Look, the child is gone now, and she will not be able to have children in the future. This is the price she pays for her ignorance!
"The royal concubine..."
Ting Bin wanted to say some more words to beg for mercy, but a pain in her stomach made her speechless.
"Okay, let's help the concubine in. If you want to bleed, don't bleed in front of me. It's so unlucky!"
Zheng Yinghuan waved her hand in disgust and asked the palace servants to pull up the concubine and help her in. The matter had been resolved. She didn't want to see this annoying concubine. It would take a long time to clean up the concubine!
"If you two are left here, you must know what I mean, right?"
Zheng Yinghuan looked at Xie Ruling and showed a provocative smile.
"I know this."
Xie Ruling and Xie Churou bowed their heads.
"My dear lady, you are very sensible. Knowing that you can't argue, you just accept it quickly, so as not to make His Majesty even more impatient. You are quite aloof in front of me on weekdays, but now you are defeated by me, aren't you? ?”
Zheng Yinghuan said in relief, she really felt that everything that happened tonight was like a breath of fresh air, watching the people she hated pay the price one by one.
"Your Majesty, you are good at it."
Xie Ruling couldn't help but sarcastically say, in fact, Zheng Yinghuan's methods have not improved much after so many years, aren't they the same as before.
It succeeds every time, but His Majesty doesn't want to waste time on matters in the harem. Seeing that there is a satisfactory result, it will be settled like this.
"Concubine Jing sometimes has something to say, but I would like to remind you that today is different from the past, and you are no longer the Concubine Xie who doted on the harem!"
Zheng Yinghuan said angrily that what she hated the most was Xie Ruling's appearance. She always felt that she was the noblest and most different. She always felt that she could surpass all the women in the harem. She always looked so arrogant and refused to admit defeat.
impossible!
Now Xie Ruling can only stand in front of her respectfully. She is the one who rules the harem now!
"If there is nothing wrong with the concubine, I will leave first. It is getting late, and the concubine will have a good rest."
Xie Ruling pulled Xie Churou up, bowed to Zheng Yinghuan and turned to leave. They were afraid that they would be suffocated to death if they stayed any longer.
Zheng Yinghuan was in a good mood tonight. She watched the two of them leave without saying anything. She had already won too many, hadn't she?
The purpose of beating the concubines and Xie Churou like this now is to scare the people in the harem.
She will always be the noble concubine who rules the harem, and the others can only surrender. It is best not to have their own little ideas, otherwise the concubines and the others will end up!
