A few days later, Mai Sui gossiped about an earth-shattering news.

It is said that Concubine Li was deprived of her title by the emperor and demoted to a concubine, and she was sent to a remote frontier to dig soil.

"What crime did she commit?" Su Xi blinked in shock, she had been grounded in Qingle Palace for the past few days, but she knew everything that was happening outside.

This is thanks to the gossip expert Mai Sui next to her.

"Niangniang still remembers that the slave maid told you about the little eunuch who died in the dry well," Mai Sui said here, and lowered her voice, "After the emperor ordered someone to dig deeper, I found that Concubine Li and that person actually had an unusual relationship!" ”

"Isn't it impossible to find out the identity? How did you know that Concubine Li had an unusual relationship with him? Su Xi wondered.

"Harm! This has to be said, our emperor is wise! Mai Sui slapped his thigh fiercely: "The emperor ordered someone to thoroughly investigate the identity of that person, and then found a sachet in the man's pocket, and the sachet was embroidered with the name of Concubine Li!" ”

"After that, Concubine Li was detained in the Criminal Division, and she was recruited before she was properly interrogated."

"She also instructed the person to coax the mother to go to Qingtan Pond, and the emperor was still merciful to her, and remembered her good attitude in admitting her guilt, which saved her life."

Listening to Mai Sui's words, Su Xi frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.

But she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Niangniang," Mai Sui grinned, "Now that I look at it, the emperor is actually protecting you by forbidding your feet." ”

"When the Queen Mother was sick, the entire harem was visited, but only Niangniang didn't go, the Queen Mother first had a lot of displeasure with Niangniang, and then heard that Niangniang was punished by the emperor and grounded in her own palace, so she didn't say anything."

"Later, there was an incident of Li Concubine, and the ladies who usually walked around the harem diligently received punishments, not only grounded, but also deducted silver, and the queen, as the lord of the six palaces, was punished even more."

"The emperor punished her to be grounded in the Buddhist hall of Changle Palace for three months, copying scriptures every day, and not saying anything, and no one was allowed to enter and leave Changle Palace."

"Niangniang, you think, it's nothing to let people into Changle Palace, but people from Changle Palace are not allowed to go out, this is ....." Mai Sui shook his head, "Don't say anything else, but you have to eat to continue your life, right?" The outside can't get in, the people inside can't get out, even if Changle Palace has a reserve of ingredients, can it last for three months? ”

Su Xi slowly unfolded the scroll that had been rolled up.

Looking down at the man in the painting, she didn't say anything.

He has always had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and all the decisions he makes must have his own reason, and there is no need for her to explore anything.

It's just that she did understand his true intention of grounding her in Qingle Palace at this time.

Having avoided all the strife that has been set off recently, she is a rare pure land here.

This man has a charm that makes people die for him once they are moved.

After all things came to an end, the palace did seem to be much calmer than before.

Su Xi, as usual, stared at his portrait in a daze.

Even if I watch it every day, I don't get tired of watching it for a long time, and the more I watch it, the more I want to watch it, as if I am addicted.

"Niangniang, who are you here?" Mai Sui smiled and led a person into the hall.

Everyone entered the hall before the master realized it, so she raised her voice.

Su Xi finally came back to her senses, raised her eyes, and saw Sister Meng, whom she hadn't seen for several days, standing behind Mai Sui.

She opened her lips in surprise, as if she didn't believe her eyes.
