The emperor was concerned that Concubine De was pregnant, so he was really wronged this time. He rewarded her with many things and had her escorted back.
When Concubine De returned, the anger burning in her chest had not gone out.
She was not satisfied with Xie's punishment at all. It was just a light grounding. How could she repay the injustice she had suffered?
The nun next to her comforted her, "The emperor is wise and powerful. Since he has not demoted Xie's position, it can be seen that this matter has not yet been sealed and finalized. If I can't protect Xie, I am really innocent."
Concubine De pursed her lips, "If it wasn't her, who else would it be?"
"Your Majesty, you just need to calm down and wait. With the care of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, your child will be born safely, and the people behind the scenes will not dare to commit crimes to harm you. Now is the safest time for you."
Being coaxed by her, Concubine De couldn't help but nod. Yes, what does she have to argue with Mr. Xie? Why must she insist on fighting her? It would easily leave a bad impression on the emperor, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
"Thanks to having a nanny by my side." Aunt Song was her nanny, and she had followed Concubine De into the palace very early. However, Concubine De felt that she was selfish, and unlike Bixia, she did not stand by her with all her heart.
On the other hand, she was still a little greedy for money, so De Concubine relied more on Bixia. Thinking of Bixia, De Concubine's face didn't look good - until now, the emperor has not said anything about Bixia, and Bixia has not been released yet. In all likelihood,
There is something wrong with Jiu. She is not good enough for Bixia? Why would she betray her?
Mammy said: "I have the biggest breasts for you, so naturally I am devoted to you. However, someone has been slandering me in the past, so that my wife has separated from me."
Of course, Nanny will take this opportunity to suppress Bixia.
Concubine De twitched her lips, "If Bixia really betrays me, I will not let her go."
A few days later, De Fei received new investigation results.
Bixia's family members were all sent away from the capital, and it was Duan Guiren's cousin who sent them away. The group of mages who said those words were bribed by Duan Guiren's relatives.
The reason why the eldest princess has not recovered yet is because of the poison administered by Duan GuiRen.
A dignified person?
Concubine De showed a shocked expression, she was actually Duan Guiren? Duan Guiren was a little transparent in the palace. Concubine De thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of any conflict between herself and Duan Guiren.
Wait, she finally remembered something. It seemed like there was a quarrel between her palace maid and Duan Guiren last month? A nobleman's palace maid dared to have sex with her. Concubine De was in a bad mood because of morning sickness.
, so he called the imperial doctor. For this reason, Duangui was fined to copy several volumes of scriptures and was banned for ten days.
Does Mr. Duangui hold a grudge over such a trivial matter? Isn't she too narrow-minded?
As for those who bribed the Xie family members, it was Mingmei.
She was also a transparent figure in the palace. After thinking about it for a long time, Concubine De couldn't even remember Mingmei's face. Where did Mingmei get the courage to plot against Concubine Xie and frame her?
Concubine De asked: "How did the emperor deal with them?"
Mammy said: "Duangui was thrown into the cold palace, and her whole family was imprisoned. Mingmei was demoted to a talented person, and Guo took away the title."
Concubine De frowned. Duan Guiren's fate made her somewhat relieved. She was directly thrown into the cold palace. It can be said that she has no hope for the rest of her life, not to mention that her family will be implicated. She is also brave enough, not only
She was attacked, and even the eldest princess's illness was related to her. But Mingmei's punishment... made her feel uncomfortable. It was a bit too insignificant. Even if she was not thrown into the cold palace, she would have to be demoted.
Just for ladies, right?
"She actually has the status of a beauty?"
Mammy's face was not very good, "Mingmei fainted on the spot when she was brought to the main hall. After diagnosis, the imperial doctor found that she was three months pregnant."
Concubine De's expression twisted for a moment, "Okay, it turns out that she was trying to exclude dissenters and pave the way for the child in her belly, so she felt that my existence was an eyesore to her. I didn't even look at her. She is a beauty.
What are you comparing to me?"
Regardless of family background or position, none of the children born to Mingmei can compare with her.
"She's just jealous of me."
No wonder the emperor only demoted her to a talented person. It turned out that it was because of her pregnancy, but this time it was easier for her.
Mammy comforted her, "She is a little talented person. Even if she gives birth to a dragon, she will return to the status of a beauty. How can she compare with you? Isn't it just because she is jealous of you that she takes action?
To deal with you? It can be seen that she understands in her heart, and understands that she cannot compare to one of your fingers."
Mammy talked hard and finally suppressed Concubine De's anger. This time she realized that none of the sisters in the harem who were usually affectionate and affectionate wanted to see her live well.
On the contrary, the Xie she suspected at first was the truly innocent one, and even a beauty could frame her.
"Fortunately, she is still the legitimate daughter of a noble family. She can't even protect herself." After knowing that Xie Yunzi was innocent, Concubine De did not feel guilty for misunderstanding her. Instead, she felt that she was useless and looked down upon her even more.
Mammy said: "Then Mrs. Xie did not bring her personal maid when she entered the palace, and she did not have a good relationship with her mother's family. No wonder she didn't notice that her territory was infiltrated this time."
Concubine De said: "Go to the warehouse later and get two bolts of silk and some medicinal materials. Just treat it as an apology to her."
Concubine De became suspicious again, "Do you think the Queen knows this? Could she have known about it for a long time and deliberately allowed them to harm me? She is the master of the harem, so if we don't protect everything, she is the one who allowed it!"
Concubine De only felt that she had no real sisters in the harem and that she was the enemy of everyone in the harem, so she had to be more careful.
Mammy dared to speak ill of other low-ranking concubines, but she didn't have the courage to deal with the master of the harem.
She said: "Since the emperor didn't find out, there shouldn't be any, right?" She couldn't let her master confront the queen now.
De Fei twitched her lips, feeling that compared to Bixia, she still seemed not considerate enough. As soon as Bixia was mentioned, her mood suddenly turned bad. She had just laughed at Xie Yunzi, and how could she be any better than Xie Yunzi?
, her confidant maid betrayed her, it was like a slap, causing her nose and face to be bruised.
She said bitterly: "Isn't it good enough for me to treat Bixia's little hooves? She actually treats me like this."
"I want to see Bixia!"
A palace maid like this who betrays her master must be beaten with a hundred big sticks. Bixia has been by her side for all these years, just like the deputy lady. If she greets the executioner, the hundred big sticks will definitely make her happy.
A desperate death.
Concubine De decided to meet Bixia.
As a victim, her request was not too much. The emperor still agreed to her request, but his expression clearly disapproved, "It would be inappropriate if she frightened you."
Concubine De thought about the same truth. Nothing was as important as her children. So she sent Aunt Song over.
An hour later, Grandma Song came back.
"Bixia's sister died of bleeding after mistakenly drinking a bowl of soup given by the young mistress. The young master did not deal with the young mistress, so he sent Bixia's father and mother away with ten taels of silver. Her father was originally the steward of Zhuangzi, but was killed by the young mistress.
I found an excuse to take off my errand."
Concubine De opened her mouth and finally remembered that Bixia had mentioned this matter in front of her. But she was pregnant at that time and was very unhappy to hear about the misfortune of miscarriage. She only said that her sister was not lucky, so she still gave her money.
I gave Bixia a three-day vacation and asked her to recite sutras for her sister. There was no way she could argue with her own siblings over an aunt.
I'm afraid Bixia will blame her at that time.
Of course, Concubine De would not blame herself, "How did I know that her sister had a miscarriage because of Geng? Bixia didn't open her mouth, but instead blamed her master. It shows that she usually has no respect for her master."
Her expression became more and more ugly, and she said, "When Bixia goes, burn a scroll for her, and the relationship between master and servant will be fulfilled."
As for the younger brother and sister...after she gives birth to the child, she will send a nanny to teach her the virtuous ways of a wife, and she will also have to send a few people around her brother. She is really in trouble this time.
