On December 12, Cao Jieyu was granted the title of Xianggui concubine by the Jin Dynasty, and the canonization ceremony was held at the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the palace. Swallowing novels www. She was also given the title of head of the first palace, and her residence, Hexu Hall, was changed to Hexu Hall. Under the shadow of the pearly aura,
Her smile was reserved, which could be regarded as her long-cherished wish being fulfilled.
On the first day after the canonization ceremony, I met her in Shanglinyuan. At that time, she was in her prime. Watching Wen Yi, the nanny, and the palace maids playing and chasing each other in the snow, her usually delicate appearance was even more delicate.
.She and I met each other with courtesy and greeted each other.
She smiled happily and said, "Sister Wan is in better spirits."
I smiled: "How could it be bad? Sister Cao's good days have just passed, and I heard that four new nobles had entered the palace yesterday afternoon, and they all live in the Mixiu Palace in front of Murong Xuan's attendants. It's very lively."
Xiang Guifei tied the fragrant tassel ball on the lotus green cloak and said: "That's great. As soon as the old people left, the new people came. It doesn't mean that the Mixiu Palace was abandoned. In the past, Concubine Hua was extremely luxurious.
, Mixiu Palace is very magnificent. It shows how much the emperor values these four new nobles."
I smiled and nodded. Since I was the family member of King Ping Runan, it was natural for me to live in Mixiu Palace. Naturally, I had to show my favor. Then I smiled: "What kind of people are the four new sisters?
That’s it.”
She originally told the nanny and palace maid to watch over Gu Di Ji from time to time, and she and I were in agreement, and gradually she became less concerned about the surrounding situation. Only the sound of "ouch" was heard, and the loud and clear cry of the little girl came, Xianggui and I
Binju turned around in panic, looking for Wen Yi's figure.
On the snow-capped ground, Wen Yi fell to the ground, and next to him lay a woman in palace attire, who also fell to the ground.
The nanny and the palace maid hurriedly turned pale and ran to help the woman and Wen Yi, but the woman had quick eyesight and quick hands and picked up Wen Yi and coaxed her softly.
Concubine Xiang turned pale with anxiety. She hurried over with me, saluted the woman hastily, and said, "Concubine Duan, Jin An." Then she reached out to hug Wen Yi.
Wen Yi was young and only recognized her mother. She immediately stopped crying when her biological mother held her in her arms. She only stared at the people around her with her round, dark eyes.
Seeing her daughter fall, Concubine Xiang became furious and scolded the nanny and the palace maid with an angry look: "They are all a bunch of losers. Even the emperor does not take good care of her. She only knows how to be lazy. The queen will return to the palace tomorrow and give you a good beating."
"Dun." Several nannies and palace maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Concubine Xiang was still scolding herself. Concubine Duan frowned at the side and said with concern, "Why don't you go and see if Di Ji is injured?"
Xianggui concubine came to her senses and immediately stopped talking. She hurriedly checked with the nanny to see if Wen Yi was injured. After confirming that it was correct, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Concubine Duan, for the rescue."
I saw Concubine Duan's lips were slightly white, her left hand was hidden in her sleeve, her posture was weird, and the sleeve on her left arm was stained with traces of mud, so I said, "Is your Majesty okay?" She shook her head slightly and said to Concubine Xiang, "
Emperor Wen Yi just slipped and I caught her quickly, so she should be fine, but it would be safer to ask the imperial doctor to take a look."
Xianggui's concubine repeatedly said "yes" and hurriedly sent her personal maid to ask for the imperial doctor.
Wen Yi was in good spirits, singing "Yay yah yah" and clasping her fingers. Suddenly she raised her head and opened her arms to pounce on Concubine Duan.
Concubine Duan was slightly surprised, but her face was already full of uncontrollable smiles and affection. She stretched out her right hand to hold Wen Yi in her arms. Concubine Xiang loosened her hand and said with a smile: "This child really doesn't recognize birth. He is so kind to me after seeing you."
."
I watched Huanxi from the side and joked: "Wen Yi likes Concubine Duan very much." Concubine Duan became even more happy and hummed a song softly, pressing her forehead against Wen Yi's, making Wen Yi laugh out loud.
Seeing that Concubine Duan loved Wen Yi so much, I only hugged her with my right hand, knowing that her left hand must be injured. So I took Wen Yi and handed it to Concubine Xiang, saying, "How can I be so lucky and wishful by myself?"
Concubine Duan did not take my words to heart. She only looked at Wen Yi with longing eyes and said casually: "I am destined to collect some snow water from the bamboo leaves. I am waiting here for them to come back."
I smiled quickly and said, "Your Majesty's clothes are dirty. If you don't mind, please go to Tangli Palace and change into clean clothes."
My eyes seemed to have accidentally glanced at her left arm, and she understood and said: "That's fine." So I called Liu Zhu and led Concubine Duan to Tangli Palace, saying only: "Your Majesty, please go first, and I will follow."
arrive."
She nodded and put a smile on her lips, walked a few steps and then looked back, watching Concubine Wen Yi playing and having fun in the arms of Concubine Xiang with a look of nostalgia on her face.
Seeing Concubine Duan walk away, Concubine Xiang sighed quietly as she looked at her thin back and said, "It's a pity that my family is in such a low state. Even if I become a concubine, I can't guarantee that I can earn a good future for Wen Yi. If I could be like that
It will be much better if Concubine Duan is in the same position as Concubine."
I heard it in my heart, but didn't make any move. She turned around to see me, looking a little embarrassed. She knew she had made a mistake, so she hurriedly covered it up and said: "I just said it casually, sister Wan, don't take it to heart."
I said with a smile: "No. It's a good thing that Sister Cao has such a heart. She doesn't think about herself, but also thinks about Emperor Ji. I am about to become Di Ji's adoptive mother. Naturally, I hope that Di Ji will marry a noble son-in-law in the future. I
It’s so flattering.”
Concubine Xiang's eyes were slightly wary, and she also smiled: "I accept sister Wan's good words. How can I be as favored by the emperor as my sister? My brother has recently made great contributions to the Zhou Dynasty and has gained the emperor's trust.
It seems that my sister's concubine is just around the corner, and Wen Yi's future depends entirely on my sister's mercy."
She called her "sister" affectionately, and I just smiled appropriately. Thinking of Concubine Duan's frail body, I sighed and said: "Concubine Duan loves Di Ji very much, but she is not in good health, so she probably won't be able to have children."
."
Concubine Xiang's smile suddenly faded, she was silent for a moment, and said: "Concubine Duan was filled with red flowers because she was determined not to have any more children."
I was disappointed, even more shocked, and said, "How could it be? Concubine Duan is the longest-serving concubine in the palace."
Concubine Xiang seemed to want to say nothing more, but she couldn't bear my questioning and finally confided: "Who do you think would do such a domineering and vicious thing?" She also seemed a little intolerable, "Although Concubine Duan was the first to enter the palace, what can I do?
But he fell out of favor early."
I thought quickly, pieced together the clues of the cause and effect in my mind, and said in surprise: "But it was because of Concubine Hua's miscarriage that day?"
Concubine Xiang nodded and walked further away from everyone with me: "Originally, only the emperor, empress, Duan and Hua knew about this matter. I later heard that concubine Hua accidentally mentioned it. My sister must not mention it to anyone again."
." When she saw my answer, she said eloquently: "At that time, Concubine Hua was still a noble concubine, and the child she was carrying was confirmed to be a boy. Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage before it was full term. Before that, she had only eaten the food sent by Concubine Duan.
Concubine Hua was so angry that she took the safflower decoction and made Concubine Duan sterilized as revenge. Concubine Duan has been seriously ill ever since.
Before she recovered, Emperor Long Yan was furious and rebuked Concubine Hua and silenced everyone present that day. Concubine Duan was only treated with more courtesy."
I was shocked: "Concubine Hua was so ruthless, didn't she ever suspect that someone else had done it?"
"Others?" Concubine Xiang Gui was confused, then smiled and said disapprovingly: "Maybe there are others, but the decoction is indeed in the hands of Concubine Duan. Besides, in the long run, Concubine Duan is ill and Concubine Hua has been deposed. Who else will come to ask about it again."
She smiled and then stopped. My mind turned and I slowly said: "Assistant means helper. The emperor chose this word as the title for Sister Cao. It seems to have a profound meaning."
She looked at me intently and said, "Sister, I don't understand the language, but please explain it to me."
I twirled the tourmaline beads in my hand and plucked them one by one, "Why did my sister choose this noble concubine? It was because the incident with King Runan of the previous dynasty was settled, and the Chinese concubine in the harem had always been close to King Runan, so someone needed to come forward.
To overthrow him, this is what the emperor and the empress planned. And my sister is at the right time, so the emperor calls you the concubine of Xiang, that’s what I mean." I said in a deep voice, and sighed as if there was no trace of it: "
It’s a pity that Murong Shilan still chooses an attendant, so the emperor probably can’t embarrass her too much out of consideration.”
Concubine Xiang's expression changed slightly. She folded up her brocade jacket, which was embroidered with ten groups of white lion hydrangeas, and said: "Concubine Duan is still dressing in my sister's palace. I think my sister must rush back, and I also want to accompany the emperor."
Ji has returned to the palace."
I gave way with a smile, turned around and left.
When I returned to the palace, I saw that Jinxi had changed into clean clothes for Concubine Duan and was bandaging Concubine Duan's injured left arm. I asked Jinxi to take the dirty clothes she had changed and wash them, and I personally painted Concubine Duan's elbow.
Medicinal powder.
In fact, her injury was not too minor. It had a long cut and was very swollen. I gently applied the medicinal powder, lowered my head and only looked at her mouth, and said, "The empress has never liked Concubine Hua, Xianggui."
The concubine used to be Concubine Hua, so how could the empress be willing to risk her own life to save her child?"
There was some pain when the medicine powder was applied, but Concubine Duan didn't even frown. Her face was as calm as usual, and she said: "Children are innocent."
I took some gauze and wrapped it around her, then closed her sleeves and said softly, "Your Majesty seems to really love that child."
She smiled, her smile a little vague and sad, "I have no chance of having children, so I can only love other people's children." She smiled: "But Wen Yi's child is really cute."
I said with a smile: "She does have the intelligence of her mother. I just hope that she will not learn from her mother's cunningness in the future."
Concubine Duan let out a sigh of regret and said, "I'm afraid it won't work if my ears and eyes are affected."
I half-seriously said, "It would be great if she could get a good mother to teach her well."
Concubine Duan concentrated her mind and didn't say anything. She stretched out her hands subconsciously. I quickly said: "Don't move, wait until the wound hurts."
Concubine Duan smiled heartily and said: "There are so many painful places in this palace, why do you care about this."
I calmed down slightly and said, "I think your Majesty must have heard about Concubine Hua's dethronement. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"
She raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a half-smile, "Choose an attendant? That's how it should be."
I was relieved and smiled: "Does your Majesty think so too?"
She sat upright, although there was a smile on her face, there was no smile at all in her eyes, which seemed to be filled with coldness and ice: "The day she punished you for losing your child by kneeling down in the sun, the emperor only made her a concubine and took away the title to regret her mistake.
.Do you think it’s just because you’re afraid of King Runan?”
I shook my head: "If that were true, the emperor would have killed her already today."
She said: "That's right. Although I don't know the reason, but from my perspective, the emperor is not truly ruthless towards her."
My heart skipped a beat and I suddenly raised my head: "The old relationship is difficult. Even if Murong Shilan made a big mistake, after all, she has been the most favored concubine in these years. The emperor may not have any sincerity towards her." My smile overflowed from my lips: "So if
Anyone who tries to persuade the emperor to kill her at this time will only make the emperor disgusted."
Her eyes turned cold, and then she smiled gently, "I have thought about her disappearing into this palace for a long time."
I tapped my fingers on the table and smiled brightly, "On this point, my wife and I are of the same mind."
She stopped smiling: "This is best. But you have to pay attention to Xiang Guifei, she is not a kind person."
I poured a pot of "Children's Spring" tea for her, and said with a smile: "I know this. Your Majesty, please taste this tea. I will have a big gift for you in the future."
"Fuqi Xiangrui" The four nobles paid homage to all the concubines in the palace who were above them in the Queen's Zhaoyang Hall. I was sitting with Concubine Xin Gui and Concubine Xiang, and Concubine Xin Gui took advantage of the Queen to teach the four of them.
, snickered and said: "He looks pretty good, but this title is so festive."
I quickly pressed her with my hand to silence her and said, "There are a lot of happy events recently." But Concubine Xiang just smiled and said nothing.
Upon closer inspection, the appearance of these four newly aristocratic people is still outstanding. The lucky noble Li Shi has a happy face, the Qi noble Guan Shi has a beautiful face, the auspicious noble Ni Shi has eyebrows curved in the autumn moon, and the auspicious noble Luo Shi is as proud as a cold plum.
The noble concubine couldn't help but added: "Fugui people are really happy as their name suggests. Ruigui people are fresh from the world, but if you look closely, Qigui people are more beautiful."
Although Xingui concubine is outspoken, she has a very accurate eye for people. I laughed: "Xianggui is also very beautiful, but..." The following words were indecent, I did not say any more, but I muttered in my heart that Xianggui's beauty is too shrewd, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes
It's all scheming.
Concubine Xiang Gui smiled: "With more people, there will be more right and wrong."
I looked at her and smiled lightly: "It's a pity that there will never be too many people in this palace."
That night, Xuan Ling summoned Mr. Qi to attend his bed. He probably liked her, so he moved her to live in my palace the next day. She lived in the former Shi Meiren's room. I have no objection. The Guan family of Mr. Qi's natal family was originally related to my family.
Getting married will bring us closer to each other.
Xuan Ling's original intention was to confer a title on her after she went to bed according to the ceremony, but the queen stopped her because she was too proud of her merits when she entered the palace as the daughter of a meritorious official. The queen was always upright and kind.
Because of her reputation, Xuan Ling took Concubine Hua as a lesson, so he had no objection. As soon as this case was started, none of the four new nobles received the title of Jin after they went to bed. Among the four new nobles, Xianggui was the most favored.
, she was summoned many times but not given the title of Jin. She knew the reason and deeply hated Murong Shilan.
Mr. Xianggui was very unconvinced, and Xuan Ling also favored her because of his charm. He slandered Murong Shilan in front of Xuan Ling, but Xuan Ling didn't care and just laughed it off.
When Xiang Gui's concubine heard about it, she also told Jin that Murong should be severely punished for choosing the servants, so as to kill Murong to appease the anger of the harem. However, before Xuan Ling could finish her words, he turned his face and dismissed her.
After hearing this, I just smiled and Concubine Duan said: "Concubine Xiang Gui was smart all her life, but she was confused for a while. The emperor still has an old love for Murong Shilan. Xiang Gui is his new favorite and the daughter of a hero. Naturally, the emperor won't say anything if she acts coquettishly and foolishly.
But Concubine Xiang had a good relationship with Murong Shilan in the past, so it might have been appropriate to bite her back at that time, but if she said it again, it would make the emperor feel that she was ungrateful." She chuckled: "You must have been the one to instigate her."
I hugged a soft pillow and leaned on the imperial concubine's couch. I smiled and played with my hair and said, "Your Majesty, you are so flattering to me. She actually has selfish motives, otherwise she would not be able to listen to my advice. Besides, your Majesty has a delicate heart with seven orifices."
, what you can think of may not be thought of by others.”
She said: "Although the emperor didn't say anything, he only invited three other nobles to accompany him in the past two days, and he didn't take Mr. Xiang to heart. She is the most favored, but she is not very docile. It would be better if she goes now."
I snapped my fingers and smiled: "She is really not a serious problem, she can just be eliminated with a little effort. When I see her, I always think of the concubine Li's demeanor in the past."
Concubine Duan's complexion is still pale, but her mental complexion has improved a lot, and she is no longer sick. I praised: "Your Majesty's body seems to be getting better recently."
She smiled calmly: "The doctor Wen you recommended to me is really good at medical skills. I also feel that I am not as sad as in previous years when I get sick."
I used my armor to straighten the pearl buttons on my clothes. My smile also contained a sharp meaning and I said, "Isn't it true that the imperial doctor can only heal people, but he can also kill people?"
Concubine Duan's eyes jumped, but in a blink of an eye she became calm and said, "Someone should leave."
The heavy snow has been falling for more than ten days with no sign of clearing up, but the atmosphere of the New Year is getting heavier and heavier. All the palaces and courtyards are busy buying clothes and cleaning the palace gardens. Tangli Palace is also generally busy and festive.
I was in a good mood that day, so I wrote the couplet myself and asked Xiao Yunzi to lead someone to climb a ladder and paste it on the palace door. A group of palace maids happily gathered around and looked up at the couplet. I smiled and said, "Wait until the paste is finished."
Look, stretch your necks together like this, and wait until the ash on the soles of Xiao Yunzi and the others falls and dazzles your eyes."
Pei'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty loves to make fun of slaves."
I joked with them for a while, but felt that the cold was unbearable, so I opened the curtain and entered the Nuan Pavilion, but Xiao Lianzi trotted in. I saw his expression was different, and I knew he had something to say, so I called him in.
Xiao Lianzi said: "I have been paying attention these days. It seems that there are always people outside watching us."
I was startled and frowned: "Have you looked carefully?"
"Yes." He replied: "Two times my servant couldn't see clearly, but twice he saw clearly. He pretended to be cleaning the alley, but he was just sitting under the wall and listening to the corner."
I felt disgusted, but also knew that the matter was very important, so I asked, "Have you seen who it is? From which palace?"
There was a hint of anger in his eyebrows, and he said: "He is the close prisoner of Murong Xuan's office." He said: "It seems that he also carries some flint with him, with evil intentions. It's just that the palace is heavily guarded, and he hasn't succeeded yet.
Will the empress let the slaves capture him and go to see the emperor?"
I pressed my armor hard on the hand stove, and there was a harsh sound of metal hitting each other, "How dare you peek into my palace." He smiled for a moment and said: "Don't pay attention, just be careful about his actions in private. Don't alert others.
"
Although Xiao Lianzi was puzzled, he only agreed to resign.
Meizhuang has been very angry for the past few days because Xuan Ling did not severely punish Murong Shilan. He also heard that Xiang Gui's concubine was reprimanded for killing Murong's family, and he became even more depressed all day long. I looked at a beautiful day when the snow had subsided and the sun was shining, and I specially asked him to
Come to Meizhuang to play chess in my palace to relax.
Meizhuang leaned her hands on the chair and lazily dropped a sunspot. When she realized that she had made a mistake, she wanted to regret the move. How could I do it? She pushed the chessboard and said: "That's it, that's all. Seeing that I'm going to lose, no."
played."
I hurriedly said: "What's this? I'm regretting that the game won't work. I'm cheating. I've lost all the magnanimity. I've learned enough from the small family spirit. Let's play another game."
Meizhuang fiddled with the white-feathered parrot on the golden shelf and said, "I'm worried. If I play ten more games, I'll lose."
I slowly put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, re-arranged my posture, and said: "I know what bothers you, but it's a pity that the opportunity has not come yet, so I have to find a big mistake to end her. After all, she has been pampered for so many years.
It is not easy to die."
Mei Zhuang bit his lip and said, "How do you know the hatred in my heart——"
I interrupted her and said calmly: "I can only hate you more than you. What fell out of my belly is my own flesh and blood."
Meizhuang remained silent and sat down in front of the chessboard again.
It was getting late, and I only had sex with her. I talked about who among the four new nobles was more favored, and Xiao Yunzi led people in and lit candles one by one.
I asked: "Where is Mr. Qi?"
Jin Xi replied: "I forgot, my predecessor, Liu Shenbin, came to the palace and asked Sir Qi to attend the opera today."
I said "Hmm" and said, "The snow has just melted. She is afraid that the road will be slippery when she comes back at night. Please light more lanterns at the door of her palace."
Jin Xi agreed to go out. I saw Xiao Lianzi walking at the end and motioned for him to stay. He said, "Here he is, at the foot of the west wall."
Mei Zhuang saw that he had said this carelessly and was confused. I asked Xiao Lianzi to go out and smiled at Mei Zhuang and said, "Sister, do you want to see how Murong Shilan died?"
I smiled slightly, picked up the candlestick and pulled her into the bedroom. The partition wall of my bedroom was the warm pavilion of Qi Guiren's palace. At this time, she was not here, so there must be no one. I took advantage of the situation and threw the candlestick under the wooden table in the corner of the palace.
, the flames jumped up with a "swish".
Meizhuang was horrified and asked: "What are you going to do?"
I said slowly: "Sister, don't panic, don't make a sound." I opened the window, and the cold wind rushed in. The stronger the wind, the stronger the fire. I quickly pulled her out and sat in the Xinuan Pavilion playing chess as usual.
.
Mei Zhuang was still in shock. I estimated that it would take some time before someone discovered the fire, so I told her the important thing. Mei Zhuang smiled in relief, loosened his clothes and dropped his long sleeves, and said quietly: "Since it's a show, I have to
After doing everything, I don’t want her to have any chance of escaping."
She suddenly stood up and ran to the inner hall. I knew it was bad, so I rushed in. The bed curtains and wardrobe were already on fire, and the broad sleeves of Mei Zhuang were on fire. There was a loud sound in my mind, and I raised a basin of water and threw it.
Go up.
Mei Zhuang Ninghe smiled and said in a voice as clear as ice, "I don't want to die." He suddenly shouted for help.
When Xuan Ling hurried over, most of the back hall of Tangli Palace had been burned down. There was a pungent smell of burning everywhere, and there were traces of black beams and water splashing, making it a mess.
I was covered in water and shivering from the cold, so I reluctantly wrapped myself in a quilt to keep warm, and so did Meizhuang. Xuan Ling rushed in, wrapped me in his bright yellow Xuanhu cloak, hugged me and said, "It's okay.
never mind."
I was cold and frightened, and was suddenly comforted by him in his arms. I felt a rush of joy that I was about to accomplish something, but I sobbed and cried, "Your Majesty..."
He looked at me hurriedly, "Is everything okay?"
I shook my head vigorously, with tears streaming down my face, and pointed at Meizhuang next to me and said: "Your Majesty, Sister Mei—" I started crying again. Wen Shichu was half-kneeling in front of Meizhuang, bandaging the burns on her arms.
, Xuan Ling let go of me and said to Meizhuang: "Jieyu, how is your injury?"
Meizhuang seemed to be in a daze and turned a deaf ear to Xuan Ling's concern. I burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, my sister must be frightened. It's all because of my concubine's fault for inviting her to play chess." What, it frightened her."
Wen Shichu hurriedly said: "My dear concubine, don't worry. Shen Jieyu's spirit is fine, but the injury on her hand is a little more serious."
Meizhuang turned around in a daze, subconsciously lifted his hand, and the half-covered wound was exposed. The skin on his forearm was burnt black and blood-red, and the palm-sized piece was sprinkled with yellow and green powder. At first glance, it looked very scary. .
Xuan Ling was anxious and angry, and shouted behind him: "How can a good person be cheated? Where is the palace supervisor and internal supervisor?"
Xiao Yunzi was busy with his hands and feet. Hearing Xuan Ling's question, he hurriedly ran over and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. It was all a servant's carelessness. However, the person who set the fire has been caught and is waiting to be punished."
When Xuan Ling heard the word "arson", his expression changed and he said: "Bring it up."
The arsonist has been caught. It was Su Xi who served as Murong's attendant. He was sneaking outside my palace when the incident occurred, and flint and kerosene were found on him. Both the person and the stolen goods were seized, even though he denied it. Even though he denied and cried out for injustice, no one believed that he did not set the fire.
At this time, Mr. Qi, who had gone to listen to the opera, also rushed back. Seeing that the side hall where he lived was burned to the ground, and hearing what happened, he couldn't help but be frightened and frightened. He felt sad and cried even more sadly.
Xuan Ling's expression changed again and again, and Meizhuang always looked dazed and frightened. I sobbed: "I don't know where I offended this father-in-law, but I was retaliated like this. I want my palace to be destroyed and everyone killed." , Fortunately, the servants discovered it early, otherwise I would have lost my life to see the emperor."
Xuan Ling said coldly: "How can a mere slave have such a heart and courage? Murong has always been ruthless, but I underestimated her."
Mr. Qi only held Xuan Ling's robe and said bitterly: "My concubine's brother and Wan Gui's father and brother both contributed to the victory of King Runan and the Murong family. I also heard that Murong's selection of servants has always been with Wan Gui." The concubines are not getting along. Now that they have been demoted, they naturally hate the concubines and the noble concubines. Otherwise, why would a small eunuch burn down the Tangli Palace? There must be someone behind the scenes. Please make the decision, Your Majesty!"
My bun was messy, so I had to pull my hair up casually and said: "Even if Murong is dissatisfied with the selection of his attendants, he is only to express his displeasure to me, but if he doesn't want to, he will bring trouble to Sister Qi and Sister Mei. It is all my fault."
Xuan Ling pulled me and said, "What's wrong with you? I didn't want to do anything too cruel and wanted to give her a chance to change her ways, but I didn't expect that she would become even more vicious. That's all!" He raised his eyebrows and said to Li Chang: "Tell the queen and concubine Jing to interrogate Murong all night. If the testimonies are true, they will be thrown into the cold palace immediately and sentenced to death. There is no need to come back to me."
I looked back and saw a sneer on the corner of Meizhuang's mouth, and it was also a sneer from the bottom of my heart. Suddenly I remembered my lost child, and I felt happy and sad, mixed with excitement. The queen and concubine Jing had always been with Murong. Shilan was their enemy and fell into their hands. Even if she did not instigate the arson, the evidence would be conclusive, let alone the "ironclad evidence" now.
I leaned on Xuan Ling's shoulder and started crying again.
