When the queen saw this, she did not panic at all, but looked at the emperor: "Will the emperor summon my concubine to ask?"
Yinzhen suddenly remembered that Concubine Jin Su was very close to the Queen. How could Concubine Qi listen to her instigation?
Yinzhen felt a little clearer in his heart, and the disgust in his heart could not help but become stronger, "No need! Even if Jinbi is really careless with her words and says something that shouldn't be said! But Qifei, you are not three years old.
You’re a kid, do you do whatever others ask you to do?!”
Concubine Qi was choked by these words and was speechless to defend herself.
The queen raised her lips, reluctantly stood up and saluted: "Then let the emperor make the final decision."
Concubine Qi trembled and looked at the emperor pitifully.
But today's Concubine Qi has long lost the charm of her youth. The emperor only hates her, so how can he accept her behavior?
As expected, Yinzhen said with a dark face: "For the sake of Huai Ke and Hong Shi, I will spare your life."
After saying that, Yinzhen turned to the eunuch Wang Chaoqing and told him: "Go and pass on my oral instructions. Concubine Li of Qi is arrogant and rude, and has offended the middle palace. From now on, she will be deprived of her title, demoted to a nobleman, and imprisoned in the side palace. Without my decree, no one can be allowed to do so."
Visit!”
Li Xiuyin's face turned pale and she fell to the ground, her eyes full of panic.
But how can the queen be satisfied with such a treatment?
"Your Majesty!" the queen said anxiously, "Concubine Qi wants to kill this concubine! Even if the emperor doesn't want to kill her, she should be thrown into the cold palace. Otherwise, if the concubines follow her example in the future, wouldn't everyone want to kill her?
Dead?"
As she said this, the queen burst into tears and said, "Please, the emperor, deal with it impartially!" This meant that the emperor dealt with it unfairly.
Yinzhen said with a dark face: "So I have already said that Concubine Qi 'offended the Zhonggong'." - rather than murdering the Zhonggong.
The queen's heart sank. Is the emperor trying to cover up the truth?! Then didn't she suffer all these sins in vain?
Yinzhen said coldly: "Why did Concubine Qi misunderstand that you were pregnant, how did she have the ability to put saffron into your soup, and how could you not find out for so long. I don't want to delve into this anymore.
. All the scandals in the harem have been revealed, and no one will look good!"
The queen's heart skipped a beat. Did the emperor see through that she was setting up the temptation? The queen was immediately speechless.
The queen reluctantly said: "I am not feeling well, so someone took advantage of me. The saffron really has no smell... Oh, if Concubine Yu hadn't had a keen sense of smell, I'm afraid I would have continued to suffer from it!"
Shu Jin: Why did you take me out?
"Concubine Yu?" Li Xiuyin finally noticed the existence of Concubine Yu at this moment, and she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart. How could Concubine Yu be here? How could it be such a coincidence?
"Okay!" Yinzhen was a little impatient, "That's it for now. I don't want any scandalous rumors in the harem!" As he said that, he glanced at the queen and Shu Jin coldly.
Shu Jin knew what was going on, so he quickly knelt down and said, "I obey your decree!"
The queen had no choice but to bend her knees and said: "I understand...I understand."
Yinzhen waved his hand, "Take Li Guiren under escort!"
Shu Jin was stunned, and quickly said weakly: "Your Majesty, there is also a Li Guiren in the concubine's palace..." - Is there such a thing as a name?
Yinzhen: Is this important?
"That's all, Li will keep his title."
The Queen couldn't help but glare at Mr. Geng, "You're the only one who talks too much!"
Shu Jin expressed that she was unjustly accused, she just didn't want to be called a fool, not to mention that whether Li Guiren or Qi Guiren, they are still noble people according to their status! There is no difference.
Concubine Qi went from being the first of the four concubines of the third rank to a young nobleman of the fifth rank. She can't even live in the main palace. This is considered a severe punishment. Queen, please accept it as soon as you see fit!
The emperor's oral instructions were quickly communicated to the Sixth Palace. Everyone knew in an instant the "good news" that Concubine Qi had been demoted to a nobleman and was placed under indefinite confinement. For a while, they all inquired about it, and Mao Bi arrived immediately.
Chengqian Palace of Shu Jin.
Shu Jin looked at Mao Bi on the left, and then at Li Guiren on the right.
The emperor won't let me talk...
Hey, wait a minute, the emperor just doesn't want gossip in the harem.
As long as Li Guiren keeps it a secret and doesn't make any noise about it, that's all.
As for the reputation of these two people, Shu Jin could trust them.
Shu Jin couldn't help but praise the chicken thief herself. She coughed twice and said: "Since the emperor has issued a decree saying that noble Qi was punished so severely because he offended the middle palace, then there must be no second son in the harem.
A sound, do you understand what I mean?"
Mao Bi and Li Guiren looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
Okay, both of them are serious and trustworthy.
Shu Jin then stepped back, closed the palace door, and muttered to the two of them about the good show in Zhongcui Palace.
Both Mao Bi and Li Guiren were silent for a long time. In the silence, Mao Bi couldn't help but said: "Concubine Qi... Qi Guiren is so stupid!" - and she actually suffered such a big loss from such fools back then.
, doesn’t that mean that she is more stupid?
Li Guiren was a little miserable: "The emperor clearly saw that it was the queen who set up the trap, but he still carried out the queen's wishes!" - In this case, who can defeat the queen?!
Shu Jin said: "The main thing is that Mr. Qi did it. The witnesses and material evidence are conclusive. The emperor's treatment is already lenient." - The queen was quite dissatisfied with this.
Li Guiren gritted his teeth: "Obviously she is not good at all!"
Shu Jin then smiled and said: "The queen has lost both energy and blood this time, and her body has been severely damaged. This round can be regarded as a loss for both sides." It's just that the extent of the injuries cannot be equated.
Hearing these words, Li Guiren felt a little better: "In this case, it will be more difficult for the queen to do anything." - Cutting off children and grandchildren can be regarded as retribution.
Shu Jin secretly thought that he was afraid that Yongzheng would never sleep with the queen, so the queen was willing to use her health to plot against Qi Guiren.
Mao Bi couldn't help but spat: "Dog bites dog, it's a hair in the mouth!"
Li Guiren suddenly thought of something, "In this case, among the princes, the birth mother of the third elder brother has the lowest status, and she is also a concubine who has made mistakes, so there is no hope of the throne!"
After saying that, Li Guiren stood up gracefully and curtsied to Shu Jin: "Concubine, congratulations to Concubine Yu!"
Shu Jin smiled bitterly: "What am I so happy about? This matter is a good thing for Concubine Xi and her son, but for me, it actually doesn't matter."
Li Guiren said seriously: "Concubine Xi has not been favored by the emperor for a long time."
Shu Jin smiled and said, "Am I going to be favored?"
Li Guiren still said confidently: "But at least the emperor will often come to visit the empress and the fifth elder brother, but the emperor rarely sets foot in Jingren Palace. It can be seen that the emperor values the fifth elder brother more than the fourth elder brother."
Well...if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed it yet.
"No wonder the beautiful maid in Concubine Xi's palace hasn't gotten a rank yet..." Shu Jin murmured to himself.
Mao Bi was immediately alert: "What kind of beautiful palace maid?"
Shu Jin said: "I went to Jingren Palace a while ago and saw a palace maid who was extremely beautiful, and she was clearly dressed up. It was obviously specially collected by Concubine Xi." After all, palace maids are not allowed to put on makeup, so they dare to wear make-up.
She was dressed so beautifully in front of the hostess, and it was obvious that she was raised to compete for her favor.
Mao Bi couldn't help but snorted, "She claims to be from a wealthy Manchu family, and she has a very fit figure! The emperor has only been on the throne for more than a year, and there are already people who want to climb the dragon's bed one after another!"
After saying that, Maobin glanced at Li Guiren and said, "I'm afraid that if you don't have to wait for the draft, you won't have a chance."
