(Thanks: The reward from the magical golden beetle brothers. It’s the end of the month, so keep up the good work!)
Guo Chong frowned and was silent. Concubine Rong must die, but it was really thoughtless to issue the decree to kill Concubine Rong in front of Lu Wu. He was also very angry tonight. In this way, in Lu Wu
Wu must think that he is a tyrannical king in his mind. He still wants to get along well with Lu Wu, so he shouldn't make a decision so quickly.
Lin Jue suddenly spoke in a deep voice beside him: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong's crime is indeed unforgivable, but it is probably inappropriate for the Emperor to execute Concubine Rong in such a rage. Many things have not yet been clarified. For example, the Emperor suspects that there is something else behind this matter.
Envoy, and...the third prince...this...the mysterious death of Guo Hao. The empress was the person involved. If the empress was killed like this, wouldn't nothing be found out? Besides...the Queen Mother's place
...You must always report it. Otherwise...won't the Queen Mother blame the Emperor? Please think twice before acting. At least you must find out the truth before making a decision."
Lin Jue's words really hit the point, and this is the core of the problem. Concubine Rong deserves to die, but the clues are broken as soon as she dies, and many things are unproven. There are still many doubts and mysteries in Guo Chong's heart waiting to be solved. The Queen Mother
You can't be ignorant there. If you kill her first and tell her later, the Queen Mother will definitely not forgive herself.
Of course, Lin Jue was taking a huge risk by doing this. If Concubine Rong was alive, the instigation and design by Prince Liang might come out, and that would be a situation where everyone was completely ruined. So Concubine Rong was executed, in fact.
From a rational point of view, this is the safest and safest way to resolve this matter. But Lin Jue had to intercede for Concubine Rong. First, Concubine Rong was Lu Wu’s mother. No matter what she had done in the past, he could not watch.
Lu Wu's biological mother was killed and remained indifferent. This was too cruel for Lu Wu. Secondly, if Lin Jue wanted to regain his current disadvantage, he needed to save Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong and the Queen Mother were the biggest supporters of Guo Mian in the harem.
Strength, if Concubine Rong dies, the Queen Mother will probably die soon, and that will be a situation where the opponent has a complete victory. As long as Concubine Rong does not die, there is still the possibility of a reversal. He and Concubine Rong will seize the death of Guo Hao and make a fuss about it.
There is much to be done.
Guo Chong pondered for a while, looked at Lu Wu and said softly: "I met you for the first time today. Since you asked me for permission, how can I remain indifferent? But this time Concubine Rong's crime is so heinous that it is difficult to forgive her. I can only temporarily do so.
If we don’t give her death, we will postpone the decision until later.”
Lu Wu said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Guo Chong sighed and shouted in a deep voice: "Concubine Rong!"
Concubine Rong hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I am here!"
Guo Chong didn't even look at her. He looked at the flickering candlelight and said solemnly: "From now on, you will move to Changchun Pavilion. You are not allowed to go out or see outsiders without my permission. You will be punished behind closed doors and wait.
Disposal. All royal concubine treatment will be cancelled, and all regulations will apply to fellow concubines. Do you understand?"
Concubine Rong shed tears and kowtowed: "I understand, I thank you for your kindness."
The Changchun Pavilion is a dilapidated courtyard located in the northwest corner of the Ouchi Harem. There are some concubines who have committed serious crimes, as well as some sick, old and crazy concubines and maids living there. To put it simply, it is the so-called
The 'Cold Palace'. It is such a huge inner palace, the place that no one wants to go to is there. Ghosts cry and wolves howl there every night, and the people who live there either die or go crazy. It is a dark corner in the glorious palace.
.What kind of person is Concubine Rong? Today, she has to live in the cold palace of Changchun Pavilion. How can she not regret it and shed tears like rain. On the one hand, these tears are due to regret, but on the other hand, they are also afraid and worried.
Lin Jue relaxed
At least Concubine Rong's life was temporarily saved. After this incident was exposed, Concubine Rong was unavoidable, so temporarily saving her life was a small victory. This shows that the emperor is still a little unhappy in his heart.
The wish to kill Concubine Rong. If the emperor's heart is as iron as stone, no amount of persuasion will succeed.
Lu Wu looked at Concubine Rong with tears, and felt very happy in her heart. Her feelings for Concubine Rong were actually very complicated. On the one hand, Concubine Rong had caused her great harm and behaved viciously, especially after knowing that she had killed Lu Feiming.
Wu once hated her very much. But on the other hand, she was his mother after all, so how could he watch her die. In fact, Concubine Rong's status in Lu Wu's heart was not as good as that of her adoptive mother Chen, and she was even closer to her mistress Wang.
The madam is worlds apart. Only Lu Wu has such a true mother-daughter emotion towards Madam Wang, which even Chen is not as good as. But after all, they are real mother and daughter. Although they have resentment, how can they express themselves when life and death are at stake?
Can you remain indifferent?
Guo Chong loudly ordered people to come in and asked Concubine Rong to move to Changchun Pavilion. Concubine Rong simply packed some clothes and supplies with tears in her eyes and left with only two personal maids. This moment was desolate, and Lu Wu couldn't help it.
She cried, but she understood that she could not help Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong covered her face and cried when she left, and she cried even more when she said goodbye to Guo Chong. Guo Chong, however, frowned with his hands behind his hands and did not look at her from beginning to end.
After Concubine Rong left, the room became quiet again. After an awkward silence, everyone's emotions calmed down a bit. Guo Chong's mood seemed to have calmed down a bit too. He sat down behind the desk and looked into Lu Wu's eyes.
There is a hint of kindness.
"Lu Wu, you are my daughter. I will tell the world tomorrow that I will restore your status as a princess and grant you a title. You are no longer a slave. You are Lin Jue's concubine... which is a bit difficult to handle. Lin Jue has already
First wife, what should we do? How about I ask Lin Jue to give you a divorce note, and I will choose a good match for you, what do you think? My princess cannot be used as a concubine, right?" Guo Chong said with a frown.
.
Lin Jue and Lu Wu were both startled. Guo Chong was too outrageous. Is this trying to beat a mandarin duck?
Lu Wu immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, Lu Wu doesn't want to be a princess. It's fine just like this. If you want me to leave my husband and marry someone else, I'll just kill him. Your Majesty, please don't force me."
Lin Jue also said: "Your Majesty, I have never treated Lu Wu as a concubine. I didn't know Lu Wu's life experience earlier. I have a very close relationship with Lu Wu, and the Emperor cannot do this."
Guo Chong rubbed his hands and frowned and said: "But this title is not a trivial matter. How can my daughter be your concubine? Isn't it an eternal joke? In the end, it is all the fault of that bitch, making this matter extremely difficult. I will never give up.
Think about it, think about it again.”
Guo Chongkuo sat under the lamp and meditated, his mind in a mess. Even when faced with military and state affairs, Guo Chong was not so troubled. But it was the matter of the palace that left him at a loss. He felt sad for himself. Today
It seemed that everyone in the world had suddenly abandoned him, which made him feel lonely, angry, and full of frustration.
After a long time, Guo Chong looked at Lin Jue and said hoarsely: "Lin Jue, do you think I have failed?"
Lin Jue hurriedly asked: "Why did the emperor say this?"
Guo Chong turned his head and looked away, and said softly: "Externally, I failed to govern the Great Zhou Dynasty well. My Great Zhou Dynasty is gradually declining, and I am responsible. In the harem, the people around me have done such treasonous and unethical things, but I have nothing to do with it.
I know. I used to think that I was wise and powerful, and nothing could trouble me. I thought that the people around me were loyal to me, and I could see through them. But now, I find that all of this is because of me.
