"Okay." Ling Ruo turned his eyes and said to Concubine Zhe, who was secretly delighted: "You are the only one left among the four concubines. From now on, you will assist the queen in taking care of the sixth palace. Concubine Zhe, you must not let the Ai family down.
"
Concubine Zhe suppressed the secret joy in her heart, lowered her head and said: "Please rest assured, the Queen, I will definitely help the Queen take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace."
"Okay." Ling Ruo nodded happily, and then said: "In addition... the decree to kill Nala will be sent to the cold palace by you to completely settle this matter."
These words were in line with Concubine Zhe's wishes, and she quickly said: "Yes, I obey your order."
"Emperor, after you have finished drafting the imperial edict, please hand it over to Concubine Zhe." Ling Ruo said a little tiredly: "The Ai family is tired, you all should retreat."
"My son, please retire." After leaving Cining Palace, Mingyu returned to Kunning Palace to take care of Yonglian, while Concubine Zhe followed Hongli to the Yangxin Palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, Hongli immediately ordered Sixi to lay out paper and polish ink, write down the decree to bestow Xia Yue's death, and hand them to Concubine Zhe together with the poisoned wine, daggers and other items prepared by Xiao Wu.
Before Concubine Zhe left, Hongli said coldly: "After sunset, I don't want Nala Xianyue to exist in the world again."
"I obey the decree!" Concubine Zhe took the imperial edict and came all the way to the decayed and dilapidated cold palace. Amidst the palace people's arrogance and respect, she took Xiao Qizi to the room where Xianyue was kept.
Concubine Zhe looked at Xianyue sitting on the ground and sneered: "Concubine Xian, how does it feel to return to the cold palace again?"
Xiao Qizi reminded from the side: "Master, have you forgotten that she has been deposed as a commoner by the emperor? How can she be worthy of the title of Concubine Xian?"
"Yes, I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me." Concubine Zhe leaned down, raised Xianyue's chin, and chuckled: "I don't know why, I used to find you very annoying, but now I feel that you are very pleasing to the eye.
It’s really strange.”
Xianyue stared at her coldly and said: "Even if I die, I will turn into a ghost and haunt you, making you have no peace every day!"
Concubine Zhe's expression changed, she slapped her face, and said in a hateful voice: "You are still rampant even when you are about to die. Fierce ghost... Humph, if you dare to come, I will ask the eminent monk to beat you to pieces and make you even a ghost."
It can’t be done!”
Xianyue didn't care about the pain on her face and sneered: "If I can't become a ghost, it would be better than you being tortured in the eighteenth level of hell after death. Do you think you will be tortured for a thousand years or ten thousand years?"
Concubine Zhe grabbed Xianyue's hair and gritted her teeth and said, "What a sharp-tongued bitch. Do you believe that I will pull out your teeth one by one?!"
"Believe it!" Xianyue said with cold eyes: "You dare to even harm the second elder brother, what else can't you do?"
Concubine Zhe tightened her hair again and said ferociously: "You are the one who harmed the second elder brother. This is what the Queen Mother and the Emperor said personally."
"They were all deceived by you." Xia Yue endured the severe pain in her scalp and said: "There is no one else here, you don't have to act anymore, you were the one who put the poison on Yong Lian, you want to kill Er Ah
Brother, so that the eldest brother can have a chance to inherit the throne."
At this time, Concubine Zhe had nothing to hide anymore and said loudly: "Yes, the poison on Second Brother's body was caused by me. So what, go tell the Queen Mother and the Emperor, they will believe it."
You? No, Nala Xianyue, in their eyes, you will always be the most wrong one, and your words will always be the least
It's credible. No one will believe you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here now, and even A Luo would be killed by you." At this point, she suddenly laughed, "But you don't have to worry,
Soon, you will be reunited with A Luo. The emperor personally issued a decree to give you the death penalty, Nala Xianyue. This time, you will have no chance to turn around."
Xianyue ignored her words and just said: "How did you put those poisons in Yonghun's food? It was those sour plum soup, right?"
Concubine Zhe let go of her hair, clapped her hands and said, "Yes, those sour plum soups, Nala Xianyue, you are indeed very smart. If the queen is half as smart as you, it will be difficult for me to realize this plan."
"But the Queen of Sour Plum Soup is also drinking it. Why is there nothing wrong with her? How did you do it?"
"You have so many problems. Instead of thinking about these, it is better to think about how to die later. The emperor has said that before sunset, you must completely disappear from this world." Concubine Zhe said to Xiao Qizi.
He nuzzled the brocade plate in his hand and said: "Here, here are daggers, white silk, and dove wine. Since you have known me for so long, I can choose one by yourself."
"Don't worry, I will definitely choose, but I don't want to go to the underworld and still be confused. Tell me, how did you do it?"
Concubine Zhe flicked her long nails proudly, "Well, I will tell you out of mercy that the queen and the second elder brother drank from the same cup of sour plum soup, but their bowls are not the same. Do you understand?"
Xianyue suddenly said: "You...you poisoned the bowl?"
"Yes, I have wiped the inner wall of the bowl with medicinal powder in advance. When the sour plum soup is poured into the bowl, the medicinal powder will quietly blend into it, causing the second elder brother to be poisoned without knowing it."
Xianyue nodded slowly and said: "Gao Ming, this move of yours is really brilliant. I couldn't even think of it when I asked myself. It seems that I really didn't lose unfairly in this round."
Concubine Zhe shook her head and said: "Do you think that this moment is the beginning of the layout? You are wrong. The real first step should be for me and the queen to see you and Yonglian together?"
Xianyue's eyes flashed and she said, "Did you even arrange that?"
Concubine Zhe sneered: "Otherwise, do you think such a coincidence would really happen? I have always sent people to keep an eye on you, and I have long known that the second elder brother secretly went to find you. He never told you, just to give you something.
It was a surprise for the Queen, and it turned out to be quite a surprise. The Queen listened to my words and forced the second elder brother to swear not to see you."
Xianyue stared at her and said, "Have you been deliberately driving a wedge between me and the queen?"
Concubine Zhe said fiercely: "You took away the power of co-president of the Sixth Palace from me and humiliated me. You also tricked Liu Ye into marrying Zhong Qi. I hate you so much that I want revenge all the time.
For a moment, God is wise, and I finally let you wait." After a pause, she showed a smile, "Do you remember that on August 13th, you went to Kunning Palace to ask for an audience, and the Queen actually asked you to go.
It’s my second elder brother.”
"Of course I..." Xianyue paused and looked at Concubine Zhe suspiciously, "Did you arrange this too?"
"If I hadn't put in a good word for you in front of the queen, how could the queen have let you see my second elder brother given her dissatisfaction with you? Speaking of which, you really have to thank me."
Naturally Xianyue would not thank her and said: "You are not so kind. If you speak for me, there is only one possibility, that is to harm me."
Concubine Zhe covered her lips and said with a smile: "If you were the queen, I would be very scared, because you are too smart, and you would often guess it before others tell you. It's a pity that you are not the queen, and you will never be the queen in your life.
