Ru Liu said eagerly: "This slave knows that the master hates Concubine Xi, but it is too risky to do so. The master has just been promoted to the throne, and his foundation is unstable, and the queen has always been a smiling tiger. If something happens to the master, she may not be able to help. How can she help?"
Master, please think twice."
Shu Mulu shook his head and said: "I have thought very clearly, Ru Liu, you have seen how the emperor treats Concubine Xi. Apart from Nalan Meier, I am afraid that no one can control her, so even if I take the risk, I
You must give it a try.”
Seeing that her mind was fixed and difficult to change, Ruliu could only say helplessly: "Even so, when the emperor met Nalan Fujin, the master was not around, so how could he administer the medicine."
"Of course I can't do it, but there is one person who can." The corner of Shumulu's lips slightly curled up and a puzzled Ru Liu said on the opposite side: "Have you forgotten Su Peisheng?"
"Eunuch Su?" Ru Liu said hesitantly: "He does have a chance, but although Eunuch Su is facing the master, he is doing it without harming his own interests. Now what the master wants him to do is to behead his head at any time.
, I’m afraid he won’t.”
"I know that Su Peisheng is far from being loyal to me. If I want him to give up his life for me, I don't even think about it."
Ruliu felt strange and said, "Master, if he knows, why do you still say that Eunuch Su can help us?"
Shumulus flicked his nails painted with purple paint and said: "It's just for use, why should you tell him the truth so honestly? We can wait until the matter is completed. What's more, letting the emperor and Nalan Meier have a physical relationship is the first step.
There are many things to do next, and tying Su Peisheng completely on our ship will be of great benefit to our future actions, so I must use his help to facilitate this matter."
The night slowly fell during their conversation. That night, Yinzhen turned over Shumulu's sign and ordered her to sleep with her. This was also the first time that Shumulu slept with her after losing her child.
The medicine was quietly added to Yinzhen's tea, once again igniting his extinguished sexual desire, making him unable to stop lusting after Shu Mulu's body, lingering until late at night, and looking at her name for several nights thereafter.
The emperor's favor allowed Shumulu to taste life in the clouds again, and because Niu Hulu caused her to lose her children and fertility, Yinzhen felt quite guilty for her, so no matter what her requirements were, he would try his best to satisfy her.
, for a time the various expenses of Jingren Palace were almost the same as those of Chengqian Palace.
However, Mrs. Shumulu knew in her heart that all this was a mirror image. In the harem, the most important thing to Yinzhen was Niu Hulu. Only after Niu Hulu died could she be truly favored.
In the past few days, the punishment for Yunzhen finally came down. Just as Ling Ruo expected, Yinzhen sentenced him to the heaviest punishment in the Qing Dynasty laws - beheading.
After many days of fear and fear, Yunzhen and Yunxi were not spared. They were stripped of their yellow belts, deprived of all titles and titles, and were banned from the sect's residence for common people. They were not allowed to leave for life. Yunzhen was even forcibly renamed Seth Hei.
Seth Hei means dog in Manchu. Yinzhen changed his name to this name intentionally to be derogatory.
These two decrees caused an uproar among many ministers, but the matter was not over yet. More than a dozen ministers who had listened to Yunshu's recommendation to recommend Hongli to Fuzhou were all dismissed from their official positions, driven out of the capital, and would never be used again.
, that is to say, completely cut off the career of these people.
This kind of punishment is cruel to those ministers who have read the Four Books and Five Classics all their lives, nominated them for the gold list, and served the court, but compared with Longkodo, they are lucky.
Although he committed the same crime, Yinzhen dealt with Longkodo much more severely. After abolishing all Longkodo's official positions, Yinzhen did not just let him go, but continued to imprison him in the Ministry of Punishment.
He was imprisoned and accused of forming a clique with Yunhu for personal gain. The Ministry of Punishment was ordered to conduct a thorough investigation of his crimes, and his home was also ransacked.
During the search of the house, a large amount of money and valuables were found, and the Ministry of Punishment was ordered to conduct an investigation. In the end, a total of 41 major crimes were found in Longkodo.
No one cares about how many of these forty-one major sins are true or false. They only know one fact clearly, that is, Longkodo is finished, completely finished.
Sure enough, after Yinzhen read the case files submitted by the Ministry of Punishment, Longyan was furious and ordered Longkodo to be imprisoned forever. His eldest son Yue Xing'a was dismissed from his post, and his second son Yuzhu was sent to Heilongjiang. The remaining two sons were also dealt with each.
Overnight, the Longkodo family, which had a great business and had received so much favor from the emperor, fell apart and lost its former glory. And the cause of the incident was just one wrong decision by Longkodo, which caused more than just harm.
He also harmed the entire family. In the prison, Longkodo spent every day in regret, but no matter how much he regretted, he could not change the facts, and everything was a foregone conclusion.
Just the day before Yunhu was to be executed, Nalan Meier finally received news from the palace, and Rui Bin asked her to enter the palace immediately.
Nalan Meier was worried about Yunhu, so she hurried into the palace with the palace servants without having time to freshen up. As soon as she saw Shumulu, she shed tears and knelt down and said: "My queen, Yunhu will be executed tomorrow. Please do it."
Please save him, I beg you."
"I know that this is why I am so anxious to invite my sister to the palace." Mrs. Shumulu helped her up and said, "Come on, sister, sit down and talk."
In Nalan Meier's longing eyes, Shu Mulu said: "Since I last met my sister, I have been trying to think of ways to speak for Yunhu, but the emperor has been unwilling to let go, and then even issued an order to speak for Yunhu.
Execution of execution! My palace
I know that if Yunhu really dies, my sister will definitely be in agony, so I talked a lot with the emperor yesterday, and finally the emperor's mind was shaken. But I am always an outsider, and if I talk too much, it will easily backfire. In addition..."
She suddenly stopped talking until Nalan Meier asked again and again, and then she reluctantly said: "Sister, do you know whose son Prince Baoshuo is?"
"My wife knows that she is Concubine Xi, so what?" In Nalan Meier's strange eyes, Shu Mulu said: "Actually, the emperor did not really want to put Yunsu to death. It was Concubine Xi who refused to give up.
The palace has heard Concubine Xi say more than once that she wants Yunhu to be buried with Prince Baoshuo. The emperor has always favored Concubine Xi, so she will do whatever she says. I don’t know how many words I have wasted in order to persuade the emperor."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Meier suddenly said angrily: "Even if Yunshu dies, Prince Baoshuo will not come back to life. As the saying goes, when is the time to repay injustice, why can't she leave a way for others to survive."
"What my sister said is exactly what I said. It's a pity that Concubine Xi couldn't listen. She pestered the emperor and insisted that he deal with it harshly. The emperor was so pestered by her that he had no choice but to behead Yunhu. In fact, I see that the emperor is very sad.
I can't bear it." In a few words, Shumulu blamed everything on Ling Ruo, making Nalan Meier secretly hate Ling Ruo.
