Chapter 95: Concubine Xun Shu is demoted
The moonlight sprinkled on the earth, covering a faint white halo, Lin Qingzhi got up, put on shoes and boots, put on her outer robe, pushed open the closed carved door, and quietly walked out of the courtyard.
Finally stopped under the old apricot blossom tree, and after a while, a black shadow fell beside her, it was Ah Er, Ah Er lurking in the palace to protect the Xuanling Dao Chief.
Yes, the Xuanling Daoist is the Yunyoudao person of the Xuanmiaoguan outside the city, and he is good friends with Lin Qingji, and this time Wen Zhiyi's fate is too hard to get into the scene of Emperor Kefuke, which was secretly arranged by Lin Qingzhi and Lin Qingji.
Lin Qingzhi looked at Ah Er, who was dressed in black behind her, and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation in the palace now?" ”
"As Miss instructed, everyone in the palace is spreading the news that the four princesses are hard-lived, not only the emperor is in a coma, but also the four princes are also seriously ill, and the next one is Concubine Xun and the Queen Mother."
"Very good, pass the order down, let as many people know about this as possible, I have arranged for Ah Da to do it outside the palace, Concubine Shu should already be thinking of a way to block the news, right?" Lin Qingzhi said with a faint smile.
"Miss is like a god, and the palace people who know it have either given a lot of money to hush money, or she has sent them to the Inner Court Division to do rough work."
"How can you say that you can block it, the queen mother is also dissatisfied with her now, I am afraid that when she asks for Xiao Muheng's marriage, the emperor already has an idea, so let the emperor sit down on this idea and see what else she can do." Lin Qingzhi picked up a fallen leaf on the ground, tore it little by little, and then threw it into the dirt at her feet.
"Then the next thing is still going according to plan?" Ah Er asked.
"Yes, after so long of preparation, it's time to put it all into practice. Do as I am told. The wildfires can't be burned, the spring breeze blows and grows again, and I want her to not even have a chance to review. There was no warmth in Lin Qingzhi's eyes.
After a while, Lin Qingzhi asked lightly, "Am I very selfish?" ”
"It's inevitable that the fish in the pond will be affected, I hope Miss won't think too much about these irrelevant people." Ah Er replied.
"Well, after this incident, I will find a good home for her." Lin Qingzhi's voice was helpless and cold.
She was talking about Wen Zhiyi, because in the whole plan, the only one who could not avoid harm was Wen Zhiyi, this is a poor woman, who could have enjoyed glory and wealth for the rest of her life as a princess, but her happiness was ruined by Lin Qingzhi's plan, and she could only be disliked by everyone and trapped in a cage in a separate garden.
Two days later, when Concubine Xun Shu was serving the emperor in the Chengde Palace, when the palace maid who swept the palace in the Chaoxia Palace was tidying up Concubine Xun's bed, she found a doll under Concubine Xun's bed, and the palace maid did not make a noise, so she went to the Queen Mother's palace to find the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother took a group of people to the Chengde Hall to inform the emperor Xiao Jingjiao who was having breakfast.
When the Queen Mother walked into the Chengde Palace, the emperor and Concubine Xun Shu were surprised, because the Queen Mother should have chanted in the Buddhist hall at this time.
Concubine Xun and the emperor got up to salute, but in exchange for the queen mother's cold face, she pointed at Concubine Xun and said: "The mourning family thought that Concubine Shu was docile and virtuous, but I didn't expect you to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, Jiao'er, you are really confused, and you don't know that you have left such a femme fatale by your side." ”
The emperor saw that the queen mother was not good, so he hurriedly walked to the queen mother's side, helped the queen mother to sit down, and gently persuaded: "Does the queen mother have any misunderstanding about the concubine, sit down and say slowly." ”
The Queen Mother threw the puppet in her sleeve in front of Concubine Xun Shu and said sharply: "Misunderstanding? This is the good thing your beloved concubine did, see for yourself, you almost died in her hands, and come to speak for her! Say, concubine, you can't live for your own sin, what else do you have to say? ”
Concubine Shu fell to her knees and shouted wronged, the emperor picked up the bright yellow puppet, the clothes on the puppet were no different from the emperor's body, it was simply a miniature version of the emperor, only to see that the puppet was full of embroidery needles, extremely vicious.
The emperor's face changed slightly, and he looked at Concubine Xun Shu with a little disappointment, but then shook his head and persuaded: "Queen Mother, where did you find this puppet?" ”
The Queen Mother's face was as deep as water, and she said coldly: "Does the emperor think that it was done by the mourning family?" This was found from under the bed of Concubine Shu, if it weren't for this palace maid who ran to the mourning palace to tell her, I was afraid that our mother and son would be killed by her. ”
The emperor said curtly: "What did the queen mother say, didn't the son say what you did, you have worked hard for your son for so many years, and the son still doesn't know, the son said that it would be someone who deliberately framed the concubine." ”
Concubine Xun Shu looked at the palace maid beside the queen mother and cried: "The concubine is wronged, the concubine has never thought of harming the emperor, it must be this girl who framed the concubine, the emperor You have to be the master of the concubine, say, who made you do this?" ”
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "Framed with you? The people in your own palace will also frame you? You know that Wen Xiang's young daughter has a strong life, but you still insist that the emperor give her a marriage to Heng'er, so that you can not only win over Wen Xiang as Heng'er's arm, but also kill the emperor and let your son ascend the throne, killing two birds with one stone, you are really good-minded, seeing that a plan can't be made, and a plan is born, you actually resorted to the technique of disgust with victory, so that if the emperor returns to the nine heavens, Feng'er and Lin'er are not in the court, your son will justifiably ascend the throne, right? I didn't see it, Concubine Shu, it turns out that the person with the greatest ambition is you, don't think that in the past year, you have won over the forces in the court and mourned the family, don't you know what you have done? ”
The emperor also fell silent when he heard what the queen mother said, the queen mother has never asked about political affairs, but she didn't expect her to understand the affairs of the court so clearly, and the emperor also had doubts about this matter in his heart, after all, things that endanger his life and the dragon throne, even if it is his own woman and son, he has been thinking about how to balance the forces of all parties for so many years, and the result is still to give others a chance.
After a short silence, the Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Now that the human and material evidence is there, what is the emperor going to do?" ”
The emperor pondered for a moment and said: "Take away the title of Concubine Xun of the Xun family, take back the power of Fengyin and the assistant of the Six Palaces, and demote to Concubine Xun, without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the Chaoxia Palace for half a step!" ”
When Concubine Xun heard the results of the emperor's disposition, she said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, the concubines have been in charge of everything for so many years, everything is based on you, and all the concubines are wronged, please ask the emperor to see clearly, otherwise the concubines will die blindly!" ”
It's not that the emperor doesn't know that there are still doubts about this matter, but after being reminded by the queen mother, he also feels that since the death of the crown prince and the Wang family, the power of King Xin and Concubine Xun Shu is too huge, and after Lin Chengde's case, he also found that Xiao Mufeng is indeed talented and capable, and he doesn't seem to care much about the throne and honor, and he actually prefers this indifferent prince more in his heart.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he could only snub the Xun clan first, but what Emperor Xiao Jingjiao didn't expect was that the original identity of the Xun clan turned out to be ......
