Si Ningchi smiled, withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
Concubine Liang was taken to sign and signed, and the confessions about Concubine Liang, Zhiqiu, and Liu were sent to the emperor's desk. Before the emperor could make a verdict, Zhiqiu hanged himself in prison.
As for the good concubine, a glass of poisoned wine will be her final fate.
The matter has been settled, and no one will investigate Zhiqiu's death. Why did she suddenly commit suicide?
Or perhaps, suicide is just an illusion.
"Empress, the good concubine has passed away." On the day of the good concubine's death, there was a continuous drizzle outside, as if to symbolize the arrival of spring. Su Yongde's clothes were stained with water, and he walked in and bowed to the Sining Pond.
Worship yourself.
"Yeah." Si Ningchi sat by the window, looking at the drizzle outside the window and gently curled his lips.
She is just a good concubine, so there is no need to let her go to see her off.
Si Ningchi looked sideways at Su Yongde and said, "How is Princess Chaoyang doing lately?"
Su Yongde raised his eyes to look at Si Ningchi, shook his head and whispered: "The princess has not left the palace even half a step. She has been drinking all day long, so I am afraid that she will be hit hard by this and it will be hard to accept for a while."
"Is there any news from the Xiwu Marquis Mansion?" Si Ningchi blinked without interest, then asked about the Si family.
"The Marquis sent his wife and the young lady away." Su Yongde frowned slightly and said with a bit of weirdness: "It was claimed that the young lady was being tricked and frightened and needed to rest. Yesterday, someone was sent to another village to recuperate.
After leaving, Mrs. Liu also sent her away."
"He's quite happy." Si Ningchi snorted in a moderate tone. He put away the coldness in his eyes and propped up his chin and said, "Even in such a situation, we still have to protect the mother and daughter. Si Yirong, you
What a good father."
Si Yirong reacted so quickly. In order to save Si Qiong Lian, he put all the blame on Liang Fei. Si Qiong Lian became the innocent victim who was deceived and almost caused a catastrophe.
After all, the Si family is capable. Mrs. Liu wiped out the Si family with her words. All the arrangements were made by Liang Fei. Si Qionglian just listened to what Liang Fei said.
However, Si Qionglian's reputation was damaged, and Si Yirong was ruthless in order to protect his wife and daughter Zhouquan and let the Liu family and daughter leave the capital to avoid it. How could he do this for the sake of those two bitches?
Si Ningchi raised his chin slightly, curled his lips and said with a smile: "Find someone for me to keep an eye on the mother and daughter."
"Yes, I understand." Su Yongde quickly agreed in a low voice. He can still do this little thing!
The death of Concubine Liang made the concubines in the harem lament. When Concubine Liang returned to the palace last year, everyone thought that Concubine Liang could compete with the Queen. I heard that Princess Chaoyang also wanted the emperor to make Concubine Liang a noble concubine? p>
Who would have thought...
In just over half a year, the good concubine ended up like this.
But the empress, who acted flamboyantly and erratically, still sat firmly in her high position, and her favor with the emperor remained unchanged.
"Empress, Xu Jieyu is here." Si Ningchi in Fengwu Palace lowered his head and picked out the dazzling array of jewelry in the box. This was a treasure that the emperor had just rewarded. He praised the empress for her meritorious service in the case of the good concubine.
"Let her in." Si Ningchi held a string of flawless white pearls in his hand, turned his head to look at Xu Jieyu who came in and curled his lips.
"Concubine, please see the Queen." Xu Jieyu came in and bowed her knees to say hello.
"No gift." Si Ningchi sat up a little straighter, looked down at Xu Jieyu and said with a smile: "I have picked out a few things to reward you."
Xu Jieyu raised her head in surprise and saw Su Yongde holding a box of jewelry in front of her. She had never seen so many treasures in the many years she had been in the palace?
Xu Jieyu hurriedly knelt down and said: "How virtuous and capable I am, I deserve such a great reward from the Queen."
Si Ningchi showed a smile, looked at Xu Jieyu with fixed eyes and said with a smile: "You have helped me a lot, how can I treat you badly? These worthless little things are nothing, if you obey me
, I can give you whatever you want."
Xu Jieyu's heart suddenly trembled when she heard these words. If someone else said this, it would make people feel arrogant, but these words coming from the Queen's mouth are so exciting.
"You are the queen, and the concubine has to take matters into her own hands. The queen is the one who will take care of her." Xu Jieyu secretly took a breath, lowered her eyes and lowered her head. These words were extremely firm.
"So good."
On the second day, a promotion decree came to Jing Yuexuan.
Xu Jieyu was promoted to Zhaorong because of her loyalty and honesty, and she served as a witness in the case of finding out the good concubine for the empress.
In Jing Yuexuan, Xu Zhaorong still felt a little unreal as she held the imperial edict in her hand. She had never thought that promotion would be such a simple matter. Things that she had never dared to think about since she entered the palace could be accomplished so easily.
Achieved.
At this moment, she finally understood what the Queen said, that she could give her whatever she wanted.
It turns out...
There have been many promotions in the palace, but Xu Jieyu's promotion to Zhaorong today has attracted a lot of attention, if for no other reason than because Xu Jieyu's promotion was all due to the empress.
"Su Yongde, why are you so useless? You can't even catch a butterfly!" Under the warm sun, Suyun looked at the little eunuch who was being teased by the two butterflies and shouted.
"Don't underestimate this butterfly, it's fine!" Su Yongde put his hands on his hips and panted heavily. He had to avoid the flowers and grass for fear of stepping on them and making the Queen displeased, but he also had to keep an eye on the butterfly to make sure it didn't fly away.
.
Shen Ting saw this scene when he walked in. He paused slightly and looked sideways, as if for some reason they caught the butterfly.
Suyun was overjoyed when she saw Shen Ting, and hurriedly waved: "Shen Ting, come and help!"
Suyun said with a smile: "The Queen said this butterfly is beautiful and she wanted to catch it and take a closer look. You came just in time."
"Su Yongde, this useless guy, even grabbed a stick of incense and didn't catch it." Suyun said while disdainful of Su Yongde.
"Okay." Shen Ting smiled immediately after hearing Su Yun's words. He lowered his eyebrows and turned around to take the net handed over by the little eunuch next to him. He looked at the flying butterfly and tiptoed under the surprised gaze of everyone. Click on the fence and fly directly over the flowers, easily catching the two butterflies into the net.
"Wow——!" Suyun was amazed and applauded him while standing among the flowers.
Si Ningchi stood at the entrance of the palace, happened to see this scene, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Shen Ting grabbed the mouth of the net and walked towards Siningchi. He lowered his head and offered the thing in his hand to him in a low voice: "Your Majesty."
Si Ningchi looked at the struggling butterfly in the net and smiled: "It doesn't look very pretty up close, so let it go."
Shen Ting was stunned. Did the Queen really want to take a closer look?
He curled his lips and responded: "Yes, the light of a firefly is only one ten thousandth as bright as the empress."
