Chapter 537: Save Some Face

The four Shangshu, you look at me, I look at you, shocked, frightened, resentful, sympathetic...... and at the same time glad that the person who was about to be beheaded was not himself.

Li Sui handled Chen Shangshu's case with lightning speed.

Quickly dispatched inspectors to the outlets of various thieves across the country to lead the people, arrested thieves of all sizes, and destroyed 20 dens, except for the transit dens in Qiantang that could not be destroyed in time, and arrested more than 300 people throughout the country, all of whom were robbers and bandits, endangering the people of one side and disturbing the lives of the local people.

Moreover, many bandits either have a criminal record, or now have a murder case, Li Sui issued an order, requiring all localities to interrogate overnight, convict the captured prisoners, and arrest those who are at large in time.

It's just that in less than ten days, Li Sui sentenced all the convicted bandits to beheading, these news frightened Xia Hou and Chen Xing in prison, for a few days, the two of them were worried all day long, I don't know if the adult can save his life in this situation.

Everything should be killed, more than ten days later, everything is like dust blown up by the wind gradually settled, Xia Hou was sentenced to ten years in prison because he confessed the whole clue of the matter, Chen Xing was exiled to serve in the frontier because he had a murder case, and he was never allowed to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Chen Shangshu was beheaded ten days later, and all the family property was confiscated, confiscated, all titles and benefits were withdrawn, and all were demoted to commoners, and the descendants of Chen Shangshu's family were not allowed to enter the court as officials, and all the slaves and male servants in the family were dismissed, and all the family members and domestic slaves involved in it were beheaded.

In the past few days, Concubine Xin, who has been washing her face with tears in the palace, also received a holy decree - to remove the concubine from the position and send her back to the people.

Is the emperor disgusted with himself to the extreme?

Concubine Xin was sent back to the people, and the holy decree did not stipulate where she must go, if she wanted to return to her hometown in Qiantang, she could; If you feel that you don't have the face to meet other people in your hometown, and you just want to live in a place where no one recognizes you, that's fine.

Concubine Xin received the decree from the prince who read the decree, and the whole person fell to the floor.

In the past few days, because of my uncle's affairs, I have long heard rumors in the palace.

It turned out that the concubines and Qian nobles who often came to their palaces suddenly stopped coming.

Rumors are spreading that are not conducive to themselves secretly, saying that the entire Chen family is an ungrateful villain, and they don't know how to remember the grace of others, including this Concubine Xin, who is also a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, I don't know how many things I have done behind my back, the emperor has long been tired of her, otherwise, this Concubine Xin is the first concubine to enter the palace, shouldn't she have been pregnant and gave birth to a child a long time ago?

But what about the facts? The fact is that this Concubine Xin may not have been favored by the emperor until now, where is there any possibility of pregnancy and giving birth to a dragon child.

He also said that the mastermind behind this witch Gu incident was not Zhu Chen, the personal father-in-law of Concubine Xin's mother, but Concubine Xin herself, in order to get rid of the crime, Concubine Xin put all the blame on Zhu Chen, and planned these things in order to win the emperor's favor for herself, so that the emperor would snub the demon girl and nobleman.

Unexpectedly, the East Window incident happened, so she pushed the unlucky Zhu Chen out as her shield, this woman really has the means, she can get out of such a big thing, it's really amazing, just like her uncle, who can do this kind of vigorous and jaw-dropping big thing.

Some people also said that the reason why Zhu Chen was willing to die for Concubine Xin in the witch Gu incident was not because Zhu Chen was a subordinate loyal to his master, but because Zhu Chen originally entered the palace to follow Concubine Xin.

did not hesitate to be a eunuch for Concubine Xin, this woman was really ruthless to say, how could such a ruthless and unrighteous woman be really good to her sisters and sisters in the harem.

Oops, in other words, is she really sincere?

If someone blocks her limelight, who can have a good end? Needless to say, the demon girl was beheaded, but the other people in the harem overshadowed her in dressing and talking, and a few people had a good end, either their clothes were splashed with dirty things, or they were scared by cats when they walked at night, and the whole person was nervous.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Shangshu's despicable behavior is exposed, this Concubine Xin will not be able to hide it, her ugly things will be slowly exposed, and the emperor will definitely demote her position, and at that time, she will no longer be in a posture of pretending to be the master of the harem in front of people, and if she stepped on someone else's before, others will definitely step back, everyone wait and see.

But isn't it true that such a person deserves to live in the palace and among us? It's really unacceptable, I feel that this Concubine Xin is here, and the air in the entire palace is spoiled by her gasp.

It's very difficult to breathe.

Concubine Xin looked at the holy decree in her hand again, and suddenly felt that she couldn't cry, all this seemed to be like a big dream, the difference was that this dream was too long.

Moreover, in this dream, I lost five or six years of my youth, a man who loved me, and the innocence and beauty I once had.

All of this is just for a man named Li Sui, and this man has absolute rights in the world.

has been around him for so many years, but what he has returned is only from the starting point and back to the starting point, and he is no longer the original self, and he has long been scarred.

Since he has become extremely disgusted with himself, he does not need to be nostalgic,

In fact, since my uncle had such an incident, I no longer have nostalgia for this world, but I can't leave my life in this place anyway.

That would be tantamount to giving up the last of your dignity.

The princess looked at Concubine Xin, sat silently on the floor, the whole person was like a wood, silent, and not crying like before, so he said slowly: "Concubine Xin, the emperor has decreed that everything in your palace, including the things and property that the emperor has rewarded in the past few years, can be taken away." If you feel that there is a palace maid who can take advantage of it, you can also take it away. "Unlimited

The princess glanced at Concubine Xin again and took a step closer, "The emperor also asked the old slave to tell her that Concubine Xin will only find true happiness when she leaves this harem." ”

When Concubine Xin heard this, her nose immediately became sour, and the floodgates of good tears that had been closed rushed out again, she slowly got up, and in the direction of Zhaoyang Palace, she couldn't help but roar angrily: "Since you can't give me his heart, why do you want to understand my heart so well?!" ”

The princess turned his head and told the palace maids and fathers-in-law who were kneeling aside, "Concubine Xin is in one day, that is, the master of one day, if anyone dares to make a mistake, immediately cut off his head!" Follow Concubine Xin to the palace maid, you can go to the Internal Affairs Office to receive monthly payments and entanglement, and eliminate the contract of selling yourself in the palace. ”

The prince turned his head again, looked at Concubine Xin, and asked in a low voice, "Concubine Xin, is there anything unfinished that you have to hand over to the old slave?" ”

Concubine Xin stood there dumbfounded, her face full of tears, "What else can I do, it's just that I want to see him for the last time." But I ...... again Didn't want to see him. ”

"Forget it, princess, go back. Just tell him I'll leave tomorrow. ”

"So, the old slave asked, where does Concubine Xin want to go?"

Where to go? From the day I entered the palace, I never thought that I would leave this harem, where to go? How do you know? It's just that this emotional injury, where can I go to heal it!

Concubine Xin wiped her tears and let out a long sigh, "Princess, I haven't thought about this problem, I haven't had time to think about it, tomorrow there may be a place." ”

******

The princess stood in front of the desk in Li Sui's imperial study, and replied to the situation of Concubine Xin's edict in the palace, Li Sui listened, with a solemn expression, and when the princess said, Concubine Xin shouted, "Since you can't give me his heart, why do you want to understand my heart so well?!" Li Sui swallowed his saliva unconsciously,

Seeing Li Sui's face full of inappropriateness, Wang Gonggong was very lonely, knowing that his heart was surging now, and he must not be very comfortable, so he persuaded: "Your Majesty, the old slave has the courage to say a few words." ”

Li Sui really wants to listen to people nagging something in his ear at the moment, as long as it's human words, no matter what he says, because he feels and bored in his heart.

"Let's talk about it."

The prince bowed and said, "We have already found out about the witch Gu incident, it was Concubine Xin who bought Wang Ying in the palace of the noble Jing and asked for the ink of the noble Jing to frame the noble Jing. ”

"At that time, because of Zhu Chen's touching affection, the emperor fulfilled Zhu Chen, did not conduct further research on Concubine Xin, and also sent away Wang Ying beside Jing Guiren, so that the matter was settled, of course, there are also considerations that do not want Jing Guiren to make too many enemies, but here I can't help but say that the emperor has your apologies for Concubine Xin."

"After all, this Concubine Xin is the first harem woman the emperor married into the palace."

"Moreover, Your Majesty, we have also witnessed the whole process of Concubine Xin's assassination of Jing Guiren. The old slave knows that you must be very annoyed when you see that picture, with the emperor's temperament to deal with state affairs, this Concubine Xin will be imprisoned in prison at that time. The emperor did not attack Concubine Xin, on the one hand, because the noble Jing chose to calm the matter, and on the other hand, it was the emperor's compassion for Concubine Xin. ”

"Your Majesty, no matter how bold the old slave is, if this Concubine Xin can't get the emperor's heart, she won't get the emperor's favor, she won't get the emperor's favor, Concubine Xin is a harem woman, but how can she live the second half of her life in this deep palace?"

"What's more, Chen Shangshu has committed such a big thing, Concubine Xin's mother must know in her heart what the situation will be if she stays in the palace."

"Your Majesty, your current arrangement for Concubine Xin is the best arrangement for Concubine Xin, while she is still young, as long as she slowly forgets the emperor, everything is still in time."

"Your Majesty, you are also dedicated to Concubine Xin."

Li Sui's expression was still solemn, but the prince knew that the emperor still listened to his words to some extent.

"Concubine Xin, what else did she say?" Li Sui asked softly.

The prince bowed again, "The old slave asked, and Concubine Xin said, what else is there, I just want to see the emperor one last time." However, later, he told the old slave to forget it. ”

Li Sui lowered his head and flipped the piece in his hand.

Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, Concubine Xin packed her bags and prepared to set off.

At this time, Concubine Xin's face was pale, she changed into the clothes of the concubine in the palace, put on a plain dress, and there were no more layers of jewelry on her head, and she inserted a small flower at random, but she looked very elegant.

The palace maid who accompanied the marriage naturally took it back, and there were two good ones with Concubine Xin, who were reluctant to be affectionate to the master and servant, and also followed, and the things in Concubine Xin's palace, Concubine Xin did not move, but only selected a jade Ruyi from Li Sui's many rewards and held it in her hand.

The rest, only those who brought it themselves, took it with them.

When Concubine Xin and her party came to the palace gate, they saw that the princess had already prepared a carriage and horses and was waiting there.
