Chapter 36: Demotion

Xi Ze sent someone to carefully check the fresh ashes that Sunset had said, but the average imperial doctor couldn't tell what the ashes were. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Xi Ze didn't ask for a night to judge, plus there were many things about the snow disaster, and Xi Ze was busy with affairs, so this matter was also put on hold.

Mo Qi interrogated Jiajia and Imperial Physician Qin again, and the confessions he obtained did not change in the slightest.

Sunset stood respectfully in the hall, looking down at Xi Ze slightly.

It was late at night, Xi Ze had just finished watching the last recital, he was very tired, he reached out and stroked his forehead, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, carefully summed it up, and said: "All the evidence points to Concubine Lan, Zhenrou Palace is indeed suspicious, Yu Hui, I ordered you to send people to keep an eye on the movements of each palace in the past few days, but which palace is abnormal?" ā€

Sunset replied, "It's business as usual, nothing has changed!" ā€

Xi Ze held his hand faintly and said: "If Concubine Lan is really wronged, someone has the intention to frame him, and I have not announced the will to dispose of it for a few days, that person will definitely not be able to hold it back, and he will definitely sit on the charges of Concubine Lan, so that I will stop if I believe him!" Xi Ze suddenly opened his eyes, leaned forward, stared at Sunset tightly, and said, "The Strict Punishment Division also has your eyeliner over there, after Jiajia and Imperial Doctor Qin were sent in, did no one really go to see the two of them?" ā€

A very shallow light flashed under Sunset's eyes, he raised his eyes to look at Xi Ze, his tightly furrowed eyebrows seemed to have a strong suspicion, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from Sunset's back: "Your Majesty, the servants dare not bully the king, except for the people interrogated by the Severe Criminal Division, no one has really touched them!" And there was nothing unusual from the Torture Division! ā€

"Have you checked their relatives?" Xi Ze closed his eyes again, this question seemed to be a little careless!

Sunset replied, "I've checked, and it's all right!" ā€

All the places that Xi Ze might go to investigate, Xia Wanfeng has taken care of it, and his secret line entered the Severe Criminal Division because there were originally people in the Strict Criminal Division, so there was no difference in the Strict Criminal Division.

He is the person who has been with Xi Ze for the longest time, and he is also the closest person to Xi Ze, so he is also the person who can calculate Xi Ze's thoughts the most.

Xi Ze snorted coldly: "There is no abnormality?!" There is nothing out of the ordinary in all places! Could it really be that Concubine Lan did it? I really can't believe that Concubine Lan would do such a thing! I still remember the expectation when she was going to raise the four princes, did she really like the four princes, would she really hurt the four princes in order to deal with the imperial concubine? ā€

Sunset said, "But the fourth prince is now half better, and he can get out of bed without being seriously hurt!" ā€

"yes!" Xi Ze sighed, "This is also the place where I am suspicious, and it is not a serious injury!" ā€

"Your Majesty, do you want to summon Concubine Lan?"

Xi Ze let out a long breath and closed his eyes, as if he was extremely tired: "I don't want to listen to her cry out for injustice!" ā€

Sunset paused, and didn't persuade again, but asked cautiously, "What does the emperor think the emperor should do with Concubine Lan?" ā€

Xi Ze slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes glanced away: "Lan Guifei's father is a general in Yu Nian, a veteran of the two dynasties, and he has always been loyal to me. Therefore, I can't deal with Concubine Lan now, let alone take her life, pass on my will, Concubine Lan arbitrarily exercised her powers, plotted to kill the imperial concubine, and the crime was extremely evil, but I remembered her father's merits, temporarily left her alive, stripped her title, demoted to the position of concubine, and confined to the side hall to wait for observation! You will send all the palace people of Zhenrou Palace to the Severe Punishment Division to do hard labor, and send people to serve the concubines again, remember to send two eyeliners to keep an eye on Concubine Lan, as for the four princes, ......"

Xi Ze had a hint of hesitation, and a faint loving father had a heart before: "The queen has already raised two children, I'm afraid she can't be busy, he and Concubine Yu already have feelings, if he is handed over to other concubines to raise, I'm afraid that he will make a lot of trouble like the six princes, and now, Concubine Cai's side can't rest in peace!" It's really a headache, he is still sick, it is not suitable to move, I am afraid it is not conducive to his recuperation, so I will stay in Zhenrou Palace for the time being, you send trustworthy people to serve, you must ensure the safety of the four princes! Let him still live in the main hall, but during this time, don't let Concubine Yu contact him! I'm thinking about what to do! ā€

Sunset said, "Yes! Minions obey! ā€

The Holy Purpose was handed down the next day.

Concubine Yu felt incredible, if she said that she exercised her power recklessly and punished Wei Zixiu, she admitted, then where to start with murdering the imperial concubine? She didn't know that her chamberlain had assassinated Yun Tian, she shouted fiercely and asked to see the emperor, but she was only forcibly dragged to the side hall by the chamberlain who came to deliver the decree, and pushed to the ground, the door of the side hall was tightly closed, no one paid attention to her cry of grievances, and she couldn't see the four princes!

It was night, in the Zixia Pavilion, Xia Jieyu was leaning on the couch quietly, and the stove next to her was burning black charcoal.

Xia Jieyu was eating dim sum faintly, just ate a piece, and threw the dim sum on the plate, closed her eyes, and anger came to her heart, her eyes swept fiercely to Xiaohuan who was standing aside, and said angrily: "This is the peach cake sent by the imperial dining room?" It's not crispy, it's as soft as mud, and it's also sent to me perfunctory! ā€

Xiaohuan's heart trembled, and he said cautiously: "Maybe it wasn't put in the right place, so it was damp!" ā€

Xia Jieyu curled her lips slightly, and said angrily: "It's been a sunny day every day these days, can you still get wet?" Is your head watered? It must have been done a few days ago, and no one asked for it before it came to me! Send it to Hanako! ā€

Xiaohuan said cautiously: "Little master, what was sent to Yang Meiren and Zhong Guiren is also like this!" ā€

Xia Jieyu's eyes widened when she heard this, staring at Xiaohuan deadly, pulling Xiaohuan's ears, and angrily reprimanded: "Yang Meiren? Zhong Guiren? You compare those two people from low backgrounds who have never seen the emperor to me?! What am I from? What are their origins? Am I the same as them? I'm Jieyu, the two of them are under the concubine! Like that red dresser, he's a minion! ā€

Xiaohuan trembled in pain, but he didn't dare to scream, just covered his ears, and said tremblingly: "What the little master said is right, what the little master said is right, the slave is stupid, I don't dare anymore, I beg the little master to forgive...... The little lord is the most powerful, even the inner palace lord Lan Guifei can't compare to the little lord, and now she is already a concubine, under the little lord, she can't go beyond the little lord in the future! ā€

Xia Jieyu listened like this, and then felt a little smoother in her heart: "What kind of thing is she?" Give some sweetness, she thinks I'm the only one who looks forward to her! ā€
