Section 27: The Aftermath of the Witch Curse Case (Lifting the Ban)

I didn't hand over the confession drawn by Xiao Tao and others, and I didn't get this thing to hand it in. Because, according to the legal calendar, I am not qualified to interrogate them, and in this "witch curse case", I am the suspect and not the chief judge.

However, there was a signed confession in my hand, which had a psychological deterrent to those palace maids, so that they would not dare to talk nonsense in front of any judge in the future, let alone retract their confessions.

Soon, the truth of this "witch curse case" in the East Palace was revealed, Xie Jiu was robbed of Liangdi's title, and moved out of the East Palace crying and crying, and moved to the cold palace in the unknown place. If it weren't for King Guangling's points, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to save her life. The mutilation of the imperial heir should have died, not to mention that it was to frame the prince's wife in order to compete for favor and seize the throne. How can such a person be a good person? How can you teach the emperor and grandson?

Therefore, at the same time as sending Xie Jiu, the emperor also handed over her son to his grandmother, that is, the queen mother herself to raise. In the future, Xie Jiu may not even see this son's face again.

Not only did she lose her dignity as Liangdi, she lost all her glory and wealth, but she also lost her son, and this punishment was not insignificant. Xie Jiu paid too much price for her arrogance and stupidity.

Naturally, I moved back to the Mingxia Palace. The emperor and the queen also rewarded me with some jewels and a few tables of banquets.

A few days ago, I was kicked out in disgrace, and a few days later I seemed to be back in good clothes. The days in the palace, just like acting, are always up and down like this, and it is rare to be quiet and peaceful.

In this incident, in fact, it is not Xie Jiu who really hurts me, anyway, I have no feelings for that woman, and it has nothing to do with me whether she lives or dies. What really made me sad was Xiao Zhi.

After returning to the East Palace, I sent Xiao Zhi away. I didn't beat or scold her, I didn't even interrogate her. Faced with such a round and lovely face and a pair of bony eyes like a little pigeon, I don't know what to say to her, hate or pity. So, I just asked my subordinates to inform her to move out of the East Palace with her cousin, that is, Xie Jiu.

This is already extraordinarily gracious. She is not like Xie Jiu, she has a son who can be used as a gold medal for avoiding death, she is just a little palace maid who does miscellaneous things, and I think it is as easy to execute her as it is to pinch a little ant to death. I spared her life, didn't beat or scold, just told her to leave.

It's a pity that this girl doesn't seem to appreciate my affection at all, and she didn't even kowtow to me when she left. At that time, the grandmother who led her away was still urging her outside the hall: "Go in and kowtow to the princess to thank you, fortunately it is the princess, and she is going to change to another master, you hurt her like this, and you will be beaten to death with a stick." ”

Looking through the open door, I saw her standing there stubbornly and refusing to move, which made me completely dead to her.

Unexpectedly, a shocking news came the next day: she hanged herself in the degrading place that night, leaving no last words.

When I heard this, I fell silent. I have always thought of her as a naΓ―ve, lazy child, and to put it mildly, her time in the East Palace was really good and easy, and no one ever expected her to do anything, she seemed to be hanging out all day.

No, not all, in my memory, every time the prince is in the Mingxia Palace, she will definitely be by her side.

She's in love with the crown prince! So she hates me, and no matter how much I forgive her, I can't get her gratitude, and that's right. It's just that I didn't expect this seemingly lazy girl to have such a strong temperament, and she was kicked out of the East Palace, that is, the result of being driven away from the prince's side, she chose death.

A life of fifteen years old was cut short in this way. After her death, I asked myself again and again: Am I responsible for her death?

My answer is: no. She is in love with the crown prince and wants to kill me as soon as possible, and I can't help but deal with her. She wants the crown prince, and I can't give it to her. A low-level palace maid, but a man who thinks about his master in his heart, and wants to get rid of his master because of this, is originally self-defeating.

Soon, a rumor quietly spread in the palace that she was actually the prince's secret maid, and after I found out, I was jealous and did not allow her to approach the prince again, which caused her resentment, so I helped Xie Jiu deal with me.

When Xiaocui told me this rumor angrily, I could only smile wryly and say: "This kind of thing, there is no proof of death, only they passed it on." ”

They don't spread rumors, what do they do when they are full every day? Recently, the palace has been so calm, and Concubine Yang Shu is good at petting. She is the queen's cousin, and the queen will not be jealous with her at least on the surface, and the other concubines don't have the guts, so there is no topic in the harem now.

It's rare that when everyone is gnawing their nails and shouting that they are bored, there is such a sensational "witch doll case" in the East Palace, and there is a theme of idle teeth in the palace, and the palace people are excited all of a sudden. Now everyone asks around every day with rabbit-like ears, and then tells each other and has a lively discussion. During the time I lived in Seishin-in, whether it was Seishin-in or Tonomiya, many familiar and unfamiliar faces were added every day.

Just kidding, how lonely are more than 10,000 women in this palace every day, and now there is finally a case, the two giants of the East Palace are openly shouting, either you die, or I live, such a drama, it is rare in ten years, can you still let people take a good look?

At first, Xiaocui was not angry with all kinds of people who visited. I understand what Xiaocui means, she just thinks that those people are looking at me in trouble, and the name is visiting, but they are actually looking at jokes and inquiring about news. Later, I persuaded her: "Forget it, it's rare to have a scene to watch, and you still don't let people watch it, isn't that unreasonable?" We just have to work hard to make the plot more vivid and compact, so that they can enjoy watching it, and give us more applause and applause. ”

Xiaocui was so angry with me that she couldn't speak.

I was still pushing her at the time: "Okay, you hurry up and do something for me, otherwise the plot will drag on too much, and no one will watch it, so how lonely we are." ”

When I moved back to the East Palace from Qingxin Courtyard and dressed up beautifully to meet the queen thanks, I was congratulated all the way, and people kept blocking the road to talk, fighting for me on the one hand, and accusing Xie Jiu of all evil.

If I had lost, then it would have been Xie someone who was now receiving congratulations while walking. The people who want to accuse are the evil princess, myself, and me. Alas, Xie Jiu, I'm sorry, you can stay up slowly in the cold palace, anyway, no matter how bad it is, it's still better than your home, at least you don't have to listen to the pig's howl every morning. Anyway, you're still in the mix.
