Chapter 783 - Fulfillment Chapter 784 Nightmare

The Empress Dowager may have been frightened in the face of the emperor's anger, her hand slipped and the tea cup rolled from her hand to the ground, the tea wet her dress, and she got up tremblingly: "The mourning family went to change her dress, if the emperor really thought that it was Ning Concubine's doing, you can go to search the palace." When the time comes, the mourning family will talk to the emperor again, Ning Concubine has many wrongs, but it is impossible to kill her sisters who are related by blood. ”

When Ling'er's teacup fell to the ground, she saluted the Empress Dowager with her head to the ground, and then saluted Concubine Ning: "Slaves and maids can no longer serve their masters, please take care of your masters, then Ling'er has nothing to worry about under Jiuquan." After she finished speaking, she gritted her teeth hard, and finally saw that black blood flowed from the corner of Hongluan's mouth, and she died on the spot.

The emperor was so angry that his face turned pale, but he couldn't do the thing of whipping the corpse, so he waved his hand and asked people to drag Ling'er out to do it. There are a lot of girls in the Shangguan family, but it is impossible for everyone to withstand the torture like Ling'er, and they can die calmly, this is a dead soldier - it is because of this that the emperor is even more angry.

Concubine Ning realized after seeing Ling'er die, because her father and mother kept saying that if there was something unsightly, don't let Qiao'er and the two go, but let Ling'er go. Now, she really has nothing to worry about, and no one can point out that she poisoned Concubine Hua: yes, Concubine Hua was killed by her.

Because she found that Concubine Hua was more favored than her in front of the Empress Dowager, which made her a little worried that Concubine Hua would become the queen in the future; And this time, the empress dowager and Concubine Hua wanted to poison the queen, and they wanted to let Qi Guifei do it in the Qinglu Palace in Hongluan, so that the queen died outside the Qinglu Palace; Even the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hua knew that this might not necessarily cost Hongluan's life, because the emperor would not believe that Hongluan would attack the queen in his own palace.

Concubine Ning originally did not agree to get rid of the queen first, she thought that the most important thing for the queen to be afraid was to get rid of Hongluan, but because Concubine Hua made the queen mother not listen to her, she decided on such a plan. Although she wanted to kill Qi Guifei afterwards, she also thought that it was not foolproof; After arguing with Concubine Hua, she was so angry that she returned to the palace, and soon heard that Concubine Hua had gone to Kunning Palace to provoke the queen, and she suddenly thought that she had a wonderful plan.

If Concubine Hua is used as bait, then Hongluan will definitely die, and no one will doubt that she or the Empress Dowager can do it: after thinking about it carefully, she even calculated the matter of hiding poison in Hongluan Palace, and found that as long as the plan set by the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hua was changed slightly, she went to find Qi Guifei and said that she was moved first, and half of the poisoning was done by Qi Guifei in Kunning Palace, but the other half of the poison was that she personally went to Concubine Hua to put the poison into the meal, and left without seeing Concubine Hua after the fact.

Everything is fine, as long as the emperor comes back a little late, now Hongluan will be a dead person, but unfortunately she miscalculated the time when the emperor returned to the palace, and such a brilliant plan is still in vain; If it weren't for the Empress Dowager to protect her, she would have to pay for Concubine Hua's life at this time.

However, thinking that Concubine Hua is dead, and the Shangguan family has already sent two daughters into the palace, it is impossible to send her sisters into the palace again without a good reason in a short period of time, that is to say, she is the only one in the palace in the Shangguan family, and she can only support her, which makes her breathe a sigh of relief: there will be time in the future, and she will never let Hongluan escape again next time.

And now she has a plan in her heart, Feng Pei, the queen - it's not bad to watch the dog eat the dog, she has to be honest in the next few days, and it's not bad to let the queen deal with Hongluan without her hands; Even if you can't take Hongluan's life, seeing her and her life are also difficult, I feel a lot more comfortable.

The emperor looked at Qi Guifei and then at Ning Concubine: "Degraded Qi Guifei as a palace slave, and asked him for poisoning the queen; Degraded Ning Concubine as a palace slave, immediately go to the palace slave courtyard to be strictly guarded, if you are pardoned, if you are not rewarded, you will not be promoted as a slave forever"

Concubine Ning was taken aback, she didn't expect the emperor to punish her so severely, and now that the empress dowager was not there, she could only shout that she was wronged: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not satisfied, and the concubine does not know what she has done wrong to be punished heavily." "It can't be confirmed that she killed Concubine Hua, even if the emperor is suspicious of her, at most he demotes her to be a talented person, because she always has to give face to the Shangguan family; But now she has been demoted to a palace slave, and she will never come out, almost shocking her three souls.

The emperor stared at her: "You know whether you are wronged or not, don't think that I will let you go without evidence and no evidence; Let you go, how can I be worthy of Concubine Hua underground, and how can I give an explanation to the palace? If you can save a life, you should be grateful. "He won't let Concubine Ning go.

All the concubines in the palace were all in unison, and no one opened their mouths to say a word for Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning still shouted: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua was not killed by a concubine, it was Concubine Qi who slandered me, the Empress Dowager has just said - the law is supreme, how can the emperor do things casually?" "She is from a famous family, and she can still reason at this time to force the emperor to change his mind.

The emperor snorted coldly: "Dragged it out." "He's not going to change his mind.

"Emperor, what Concubine Ning said is still reasonable, everything should be done in accordance with the palace rules or laws to convince the people of the world, if the emperor acts like this, let future generations follow suit is to destroy the cornerstone of our dynasty." The Empress Dowager rushed back, and her dress did not change, it seemed that she came to save Concubine Ning

Although Hongluan thinks that Ning Concubine deserves to die, what the Empress Dowager said is true, the emperor can't openly regard the law as nothing, and act according to his own preferences, which is definitely not a good thing for the people in the world; She gently tugged at the emperor's sleeve, also trying to persuade the emperor to change his mind.

The emperor glanced back at her, there was anger in his eyes, but he did not explain to her, but replied to the words of the empress dowager: "What the empress dowager said is a golden rule, and grandchildren dare not forget it for a while." But the punishment of Yuanhua has nothing to do with Concubine Hua's death, and it is also consistent with the palace rules and laws, and the grandson has not done anything wrong. ”

The Empress Dowager frowned: "Then why did you punish Concubine Ning heavily?" She still refused to approve of the Emperor's decree.

"She hurt Hongluan's noble concubine in public as a concubine, which is a serious offense for the following, and then she has no royal status as a concubine, and she just shouts at the prince and the princess, and even threatens to punish the nine clans of the second brother and the second brother and sister, and it is not too much to kill her." The emperor said this and glanced at Concubine Li: "In addition, is there less of a reckless thing she does in this palace?" Now she is just being punished as a slave in the palace slave courtyard, which is already because of the grace of the Queen Mother. ”

The Empress Dowager said with some difficulty: "Concubine Hua just went to ......" She didn't want to protect Concubine Ning, but wanted to save the face of the Shangguan family.

"The Empress Dowager, my father's teaching to my grandson, my grandson dare not forget, everything must be done in accordance with the rules and laws, and cannot be disposed of differently because of people's wealth and wealth. The grandson asked the Empress Dowager to fulfill it. "The emperor bowed to the Empress Dowager.

Chapter 784: Nightmare

The Empress Dowager was speechless by the emperor's reasoning, because everything the emperor said was true: although she reprimanded Ning Concubine for being inferior, she did not punish her, and at this time, the emperor would only lose her reputation for protecting her own family if she was strong; injured Hongluan, she demoted Hongluan to a palace person, but now there is nothing wrong with her, of course her will must be withdrawn, so Concubine Ning is indeed guilty of the following.

Coupled with the emperor's solemn gift, she couldn't speak at all: to speak for Concubine Ning anymore was that she didn't think about the ancestral inheritance, and she only had the Shangguan family in her eyes. But when Ning Concubine was demoted to a palace slave and handed over to the palace slave courtyard, the face of the Shangguan family - Yuan Hua, Feng Hua and the palace slave who she didn't know how many words she had scolded Hongluan, now the Shangguan family's people are slaves Hongluan has become the master, which is really too shameless for her, the empress dowager.

"Emperor, the mourning family also knows that what Yuan Hua did should really be punished, but it is just a matter of being demoted to a palace person, and it is just a matter of being demoted to a palace slave......" She still opened her mouth, just wanting the emperor to demote Yuan Hua to a palace person and get her to Cining Palace, not to let her be pointed at and laughed at in other places, and hurt her face and the face of the Shangguan family.

Emperor Zhengse said: "If it is too light to be demoted to a palace person, it will make people think that the same thing can be risked, and in the end, it will only be reduced to a palace person anyway." It was because of the Empress Dowager that she was only punished as a slave, and if she really came according to the rules of the palace, she would be given a three-foot white silk. After speaking, he saluted the Empress Dowager again: "Empress Dowager, please be considerate of your grandson's embarrassment." ”

The Empress Dowager looked at the concubines in the palace, and immediately turned around and left: "The mourning family is too talkative, and everything depends on the emperor." She didn't even look at Concubine Ning, and took the people away. She is also really angry with Concubine Ning, she can fight, calculate, and dye her hands with blood in the palace, but it should be an outsider rather than a sister who is close to her own relatives and flesh-and-blood

Concubine Ning did not hesitate to kill her sister-in-law in order to achieve her goal, and the viciousness of her heart was already outrageous; It's just that the Empress Dowager thinks that Fenghua is dead, and if she can use her death to get rid of Hongluan Fenghua, it won't be in vain: and survival in the palace is to be ruthless in order to succeed, maybe Concubine Ning can really succeed in her great cause.

Of course, it is much easier to get rid of the queen after Hongluan is removed, and it is worth it to help Ning Concubine ascend to the throne and the wealth and glory of the Shangguan family for at least a hundred years, and it is worth it for Feng Hua to die for this; But now Ning Concubine has failed, and she also let the emperor know about the Shangguan family's arrangement for the dead to enter the palace, so as to protect Ning Concubine from being criticized by the world because of her. But she also knew that the concubines in the palace knew in their hearts that the person who really instructed someone to poison Concubine Hua was Concubine Ning.

made the Shangguan family lose such a big face, the empress dowager almost had to give Ning Concubine a few slaps, and now the emperor's intention is to resolutely believe that Ning Concubine is the one who killed Concubine Hua, and if she fights again, she will only be laughed at by the concubines, so it is better to leave. Concubine Ning, let her fend for herself.

Moreover, the Shangguan family will no longer recognize Yuan Hua as the daughter of the Shangguan family, nor will they allow her surname Shangguan again; At that time, she will have nothing to do with the Shangguan family, and naturally she has nothing to do with the empress dowager.

Yuan Hua saw that the Empress Dowager was about to leave and cried and hugged the Empress Dowager's legs: "Yuan Hua knows that he is wrong, Yuan Hua will listen to the Empress Dowager's teachings in the future to repay the kindness of his parents." She told the Empress Dowager that in the future, she would put the interests of the official family first: "The Empress Dowager save me." ”

The Empress Dowager didn't look down at her, but just ordered Shang Yi to pull her away, and walked out of the hall without looking back.

Yuan Hua cried and chased after her, fell to the ground and watched the Empress Dowager abandon her, she understood at this time that the Shangguan family was likely to give up on her, and her parents would probably not recognize her as a daughter again.

The emperor waved his hand lightly: "Throw the palace slave Yuanhua to the palace slave courtyard with twenty heavy responsibilities." "He deliberately handed over Yuanhua to Hongluan, although the Huanyi Courtyard is more tired and dirty than the Gongnuyuan, but only the Gongnuyuan is completely Hongluan's.

No one wants to look at her more than one more woman, and the concubines in the palace, regardless of whether they are secretly laughing at the mistakes of the Shangguan family in their hearts, look at Yuan Hua's eyes with extreme contempt and disgust: many of them have more or less blood on their hands, but they will never kill their relatives and seek their own benefits.

Hongluan sent her out of the palace gate to be punished, looked at her eyes and said softly: "Concubine Hua has not received justice, such a grievance will definitely not enter reincarnation, you have to be careful that she comes back to you for revenge." Yuan Hua's eyes widened violently, and before she could speak, she was dragged down to hit the board, she was really frightened by Hongluan's words.

The emperor named Hongluan as a pure concubine, looked into the queen's eyes and said: "Feng Pei is just a dowry for her, if you hold a grudge because of this, then I have mistaken you." "The queen wasn't punished just because she was stupid enough.

The next morning, Guan Yuanhua's parents entered the palace, and of course they saw Yuanhua, who was seriously injured and couldn't get up. But they didn't whisper to Yuan Hua, but Mrs. Shangguan gave her two heavy slaps, and then left with her father without looking back: they should have never given birth to this daughter.

Originally, the two daughters were in the palace, and the husband and wife thought that the sisters would be able to take the queen's position by supporting each other, but they didn't expect that they just sent Fenghua into the ghost gate.

Yuan Hua cried bitterly and repented, calling her parents again and again, but she was frightened by her father's angry eyes and put away her tears; The contemporary patriarch of the Shangguan family looked at Yuan Hua and gritted his teeth: "We are not your parents, so we dare not give birth to you." This sentence made Yuan Hua sick for ten days, and he almost died.

Without the blessing of the Shangguan family, and the Shangguan family wished that she would die, lest people would point at her and laugh at the Shangguan family, but the palace eunuchs who bought her were embarrassed by her, making her life even more miserable. Fortunately, it was in the palace slave courtyard, and it was not so easy for the people of the Shangguan family to kill her, if she was in the Huanyi Courtyard, she was afraid that she would have died in the hands of the people who were bought by the Shangguan family.

It's just that it's not a blessing for her to be alive, and the daily work and the exclusion of the palace slaves have made her taste the warmth and coldness of human affection; She really wants to die, but she still has an attachment to life, always thinking that maybe she can make a comeback, and when the time comes, she will kill Hongluan, the Empress Dowager, and the people of the Shangguan family, so as to be ashamed of Xue today.

Her body quickly collapsed not because the people in the palace slave house abused her, but because of her heart disease: as long as she closed her eyes every night, she could see Concubine Hua come to her and ask for her life, so frightened that she couldn't close her eyes almost every day. For this reason she soon lived alone in a small house, for as soon as it was dark she screamed that there was a ghost and that the other palace slaves could not sleep.
