Aunt Xi smiled bitterly, "If you owe a favor, you always have to repay it. The old slave suffered a serious illness last year, and it was Princess Chu who sent her good medicine to cure it. Now I help her once, which is regarded as repaying the favor. The old slave knows that Princess Chu
She won't be punished, the Emperor still needs her. At most, she will be scolded a few times, I don't want to harm anyone."
After she finished, she kowtowed for a long time. When she raised her head again, her expression was already calm, "I don't want anything else. Your Majesty, please give me a poisonous bar!"
She has paid off everything she owed in this life.
I will owe him nothing more in the future on the road to hell.
Emperor Ming Yuan's face was gloomy and uncertain, "If you recruit the person behind it, I will pretend that nothing happened."
Aunt Xi was silent. She looked determined as if she had put life and death aside.
Emperor Ming Yuan was filled with hatred and sadness. Naturally, he couldn't kill Grandma Xi. He couldn't even tell the Supreme Emperor about it. Now that the Supreme Emperor was suffering from heart disease, how could he withstand the blow of being poisoned by someone who had been with him for decades?
There was silence for a while. He said calmly, "You have not harmed the Emperor's heart, and I believe you. I will not hold you accountable. It's just that Grandma is old and is not suitable to serve the Emperor anymore. Since Princess Chu and Grandma are in love, let me do it for you."
Princess Chu, please ask for a favor from the Supreme Emperor, and ask me to follow you back to the palace to serve you."
After all, Emperor Ming Yuan didn't want to take this action himself. Grandma Xi had harmed Yuan Qingling, so she sent her to Yuan Qingling's side and let Yuan Qingling deal with it.
Yuan Qing was dumbfounded!
"Aunt Xi, please go down first." Emperor Ming Yuan had already restrained his anger and said calmly.
Aunt Xi gave Yuan Qingling a complicated look and bowed to leave.
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Eunuch Chang and said, "Go and keep an eye on her. It's best to give her a few words to prevent her from committing suicide in the palace."
Aunt Xi already had death intentions in her eyes, she was afraid that she was seeking suicide in the palace and the Supreme Emperor found out about it.
"Yes!" Eunuch Chang took the order and came out.
Yuan Qingling and Emperor Ming Yuan stared with big eyes.
"Won't you come and tell me first?" Emperor Ming Yuan said angrily.
Yuan Qingling knew that this matter was a bit reckless, and she never thought whether the emperor would be willing to let Aunt Xi be exposed.
She confessed in a down-to-earth manner, "My daughter-in-law knows she was wrong."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her, "Did you already know that Aunt Xi took Nanzhu to give to the Queen?"
"She is giving it to Concubine Xianmu."
"Humph," Emperor Ming Yuan snorted coldly, "Didn't you take it privately?"
Yuan Qing Ling said, "I don't know if my daughter-in-law will admit it in the end. If she admits it, her daughter-in-law will naturally admit it. If she doesn't admit it, her daughter-in-law will insist that she took it privately. She can't let her bear the crime in vain."
A bit smart.
Emperor Ming Yuan did not pursue it, but was curious, "She gave it to the Concubine Xian with you, how did you know that she would eventually give it to the Queen?"
"If she is kind-hearted and wants to maintain the relationship between her daughter-in-law and Concubine Xianmu, she should suggest that I send it to Concubine Xianmu in person instead of conveying it to her. Besides, Queen Nanzhu has never gotten this. It is really inappropriate for her to suggest that it be given to Concubine Xianmu.
, Auntie Xi will not make such a mistake, unless she has the intention to harm me."
My heart is very clear. Even now, my mind can still be so clear.
Emperor Ming Yuan said calmly, "Now that I have sent Nanny Xi to you, you can do with her how you want. Just don't let the Supreme Emperor know about it."
Yuan Qingling said helplessly, "Father, it's not appropriate to give it to your daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law can't deal with her." Using her hand to take care of Aunt Xi would definitely offend the Supreme Emperor, and she didn't want to destroy her only support.
"The person is given to you anyway, you can do with it how you like, I don't care at all."
Yuan Qing secretly said that Emperor Ming Yuan was cunning, but there was nothing he could do about it, he was the emperor.
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her and said, "If you really don't know what to do, maybe you can go back and ask your father for advice."
Yuan Qingling was helpless. Is such a naked temptation really okay?
"I won't bother my father." Yuan Qingling.
Emperor Ming Yuan was very satisfied with this answer. He looked at her for a moment and suddenly said, "I just said that Grandma Qi, Princess Qi, will harm you because she has a grudge against you. You should take care of your fault first and you are not allowed to take revenge in private. Do you understand?"
"What if she comes to provoke me first?" Yuan Qingling asked, she couldn't be bullied in vain.
"She doesn't dare anymore, and the Chu family will not let her fool around anymore. There is one more thing," Emperor Ming Yuan pondered for a moment, looked at her and said, "Concubine Xian once mentioned to me that Lao Wu and Princess Qi grew up as childhood sweethearts.
It's a pity that the marriage didn't work out in the end. Princess Qi has a sister who looks very similar to her. I also plan to make up for it by marrying the second sister of the Chu family as a concubine. Do you have anything to say?"
Yuan Qingling shook her head, "No!"
Emperor Ming Yuan was a little surprised, so generous?
The second sister of the Chu family is a direct descendant. Once she enters the family, she, the royal concubine, will step aside. Does she really not care?
Or, does she not know the power of the Chu family?
Obviously she is not stupid and should understand this.
"Go." Emperor Ming Yuan said calmly.
Yuan Qingling resigned and left.
After leaving the palace, she took a deep breath. Marry the concubine? Okay, why not? By marrying the concubine, his wish was fulfilled. In the future, they would be harmonious and loving, and they would not cause trouble to her again.
Back outside the side hall, I saw Aunt Xi under the locust tree, with her hands hanging down, looking at her quietly.
There seemed to be no emotion in her eyes, and it was as if nothing had happened between them. She was so calm that it was scary.
Yuan Qingling walked over and looked at her.
Aunt Xi lowered her head and said, "Princess!"
"Mom, are you waiting for me?"
Aunt Xi stared at her, "Since the princess has seen through it long ago, why didn't she expose the old slave?"
"I am just lucky and think that in the end I will not give the Nanzhu to the Queen."
Aunt Xi's eyes darkened and she said mockingly, "Isn't the princess very disappointed? I didn't cherish the opportunity you gave me, but sent the Nanzhu to the queen."
"Yes, I am very disappointed." Yuan Qingling's eyes did not change, but her tone was full of exhaustion, "I thought that there was finally someone who was kind to me in and outside the palace, but I thought too much.
"
She looked at the door of the side hall, and heard King Sun's laughter inside. When she entered, she would see Yu Wenhao. She didn't want to see him. For a moment, she just felt that the sky was huge and there was nowhere to go.
She went to Qiankun Palace.
Although the old man had a bad temper and often cursed at her, he knew how to coax her after he scolded her.
While going all the way, she was still thinking about the person who was behind this. Who could make Grandma Xi betray the Supreme Emperor, and would rather die than expose this person?
It is indeed impossible for Chu Mingcui. Auntie Xi would not harm the Supreme Emperor's life for Chu Mingcui.
Aunt Xi didn't know it was poison, and she had no intention of harming the Supreme Emperor. But she had been in the palace for many years, could she be so simple as to think that the man was asking him to exchange two candies for the Supreme Emperor?
The emperor's attitude is also very strange. Even if he is concerned about the emperor's health, it is impossible not to investigate, right? This is a murder of the emperor. The crime is heinous, and the murderer has not been found for a day, the emperor will still be in danger.
Yuan Qingling felt that she could not see the muddy water in the palace more and more clearly.
