Originally, I thought that as long as my daughter was more favored, when the time came, the position of the emperor would still fall into my hands steadily, but now it seems that it is impossible.

Since it is destined that it is impossible to get the position of emperor, it is better to take the initiative to give up to save Song Yueran's life.

Xiao Chengze was quite satisfied with General Song's attitude, after all, he could further woo the Yang family without any scruples.

Xiao Chengze lowered his voice, "Her sins are too deep, from today onwards, she will be abolished as a noble concubine, demoted to a concubine, and exiled to the southwest." ”

As soon as the will of exile came out, Zhou Yunyi angrily smashed the two high-grade porcelain in the palace.

It was Situ Rou who stopped Zhou Yunyi to save the remaining bottles and cans.

Situ Rou persuaded bitterly: "If you really hate her so much, find someone to intercept and kill her on the way to exile." ”

Zhou Yunyi smiled bitterly, "Obviously, she committed a heinous crime herself, but now the evidence is conclusive, but she doesn't have to pay for her life, we as victims want to get justice, and we have to sneak around and make those unsightly means." ”

"If you want me to say that you should let her be exiled to the southwest, the eldest lady who lives in a gentle country like him can't endure such hardship, where she will survive and not die. Isn't this more painful and relieving than her dying a hundred? ”

Zhou Yunyi knew that what Situ Rou said was not unreasonable, if she was really allowed to die so easily, it would indeed be too cheap for her. However, she also did not want the person who hurt her friend to continue to live in the world.

And according to Zhou Yunyi's experience, this kind of damn person will not die happily, and after that, she will definitely come out from time to time to stir up the situation and disgust everyone.

"Just do as you say, find someone to intercept her on her way to exile." Situ Rou just mentioned it casually, and she didn't expect that Zhou Yunyi would really agree.

"Anyone?" Zhou Yunyi was very anxious in her heart, and she couldn't wait for a killer to rush directly to the place where Song Yueran was held and kill her directly.

Situ Rou is ready to test again if Zhou Yunyi really wants to hire a killer?

"There are a few good killers with kung fu, but it costs a lot of money to kill people, you are sure."

"I'm sure." Zhou Yunyi was determined and resolute.

After Situ Ru came out of Zhou Yunyi's palace, he didn't go directly to find any so-called killers, but took a detour to Xiao Chengze and told Xiao Chengze about this matter.

After Xiao Chengze listened, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"You go back and tell him that you've got someone to send to the northwest. After another ten days and half a month, you will say that the robbery was successful. ”

Xiao Chengze plans to collude with Situ Rou to deceive Zhou Yunyi together, anyway, it is impossible for Zhou Yunyi to verify whether Song Yueran is dead, and Song Yueran can only be barren in the southwest in this life. In the desert, the old and the dead are alive.

Situ Rou didn't speak, expressing her acquiescence, although she and Zhou Yunyi were friends, but this matter involved the interests of the previous dynasty, and she didn't dare to speak rashly, so she could only tell Xiao Chengze.

Since Xiao Chengze has made a decision now, she is ready to obey Xiao Chengze's arrangement.

Song Yueran was pulled away by a wooden prisoner cart, which was locked, an iron chain as thick as a forearm.

Zhou Yunyi stood on the city wall, looking at it from a distance, only to see that the shadow of the carriage could no longer be seen.

After everything calmed down, Zhou Yunyi began to prepare for Xiaocui's funeral, Xiaocui couldn't die in vain, and the funeral couldn't be dragged to the mass grave like everyone else and buried directly.

She wants to hold a grand and meaningful funeral for Xiaocui.

Zhou Yun ordered the Garment Bureau to make a batch of pure white clothes.

When Zhou Yunyi put on mourning clothes to worship Xiaocui, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were stunned, and the queen wore linen and filial piety for a palace maid, what an incredible thing.

Empress Dai Xiao, only for the national mourning, the so-called national mourning, that is, the death of the emperor and the queen mother.

Wang Dasco also wore a white dress, he had been washing his face with tears for the past two days, and he couldn't eat, so he lost a lot of weight, and sat beside Xiaocui's coffin with a haggard face.

Wang Dascoo brought a basket of Xiaocui today, my favorite preserved green plum in the past. Stack the preserved fruits neatly one by one in the gap of the coffin.

Lao Qian also brought a box of pastries to worship.

Zhou Yunyi looked at it and saw that it was almost time, and they were going to send Xiaocui back to their home outside the palace to hold a crazy funeral by their family.

Xiaocui sold herself into the Zhou Mansion when she was seven years old, and before that, Xiaocui often told Zhou Yunyi that staying in the Zhou Mansion was fine, she didn't ask for food and clothing, and she wasn't afraid of being bullied, but occasionally she would think of her old mother at home, I don't know if she was doing well?

At that time, Zhou Yunyi had thought that as long as Xiaocui was willing, she would immediately return her deed of sale to him, so that she would be a happy and free commoner, rather than an eternal slave in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Xiao Cui finished saying that she was homesick, Zhou Yunyi took out the deed of sale that had been prepared a long time ago. , ready to hand it over to Xiao Cui, but after Xiao Cui saw the deed of sale, she was not moved and happy as Zhou Yunyi imagined, but the whole person panicked, kneeling and begging Zhou Yunyi not to drive her away.

Zhou Yunyi explained to Xiaocui at that time that he didn't want to drive her, but wanted to give her an equal identity.

How would Xiaocui know what equal status is at that time, but she thought that her own young lady was annoying to her and didn't want her to serve anymore, so she was angry and wanted to send her away.

Zhou Yunyi didn't explain clearly at the time, and finally saw Xiaocui crying so badly that he simply sold the deed again. Took it back.

In fact, taking it back is just putting the deed of sale in the box under the dresser, and Xiaocui is responsible for cleaning the inside and outside of the house every day. You can take it at any time if you want to, but until the two of them enter the palace, Xiaocui hasn't taken it secretly.

Zhou Yunyi specially took out Xiao Cui's deed of sale, put it directly in front of the fire and lit it, Zhou Yunyi has never believed in it, and the ghosts and gods naturally don't believe in any Western Elysium, the next life or reincarnation.

But the reason for this is that at this moment, I hope that I don't trust that those things are real. Cui can live there happily.

After everything is ready, everyone. Follow the coffin to the palace gate. They want to send Xiaocui out of the palace gate.

Just halfway through, Xiao Chengze's holy driving bar was in front of Xiaocui's coffin, according to the rules, no matter who meets the emperor, they must kneel down and salute the emperor, not to mention blocking the emperor's way, it is simply challenging the emperor's dignity and disrespecting the emperor.

Xiao Chengze did not order them to dodge, but came down from above, glanced at the haggard Zhou Yunyi, and then looked at the sad and sad Wang Dascoo who was crying.

"Let the treasury pay 120 pieces of silver at once." Xiao Chengze said.

The little dust came and went very quickly, and soon a medium-sized wooden box was filled with gold ingots.

"This money should be used as the funeral expenses for Xiaocui."

"Thank you." Zhou Yunyi's words were polite and cold.

Zhou Yunyi knew the whole thing, Xiao Chengze didn't do anything wrong, on the contrary, he played a very active role in the whole thing, and he should thank him, but if he thanked him, he just couldn't say it.

Song Yueran was not sentenced to death after all, which was also a thorn in Zhou Yunyi's heart.

After Xiao Chengze handed over the money to Zhou Yunyi, he took the initiative to order to make way for Xiaocui's coffin.

Xiaocui's coffin went out of the palace in this way, because Wang Dasco and Lao Qian were the imperial chefs in the palace, they had to live outside the palace when they were not on duty, so they could go out with them, and Zhou Yunyi, as the queen of the middle palace, the harem concubines were not allowed to step out of the palace for no special reason.

Zhou Yunyi stood at the gate of the palace, looking at the coffin in the distance, and her heart was full of infinite sadness.

After Xiao Cui's soul returned to his hometown, Zhou Yunyi looked haggard and couldn't swallow for a few days, not only Xiao Chengze and Situ Rou couldn't stand it, but even the former rival Yangmei couldn't stand it.

After experiencing this incident, Yang Mei also realized that the contradiction between herself and Zhou Yunyi was not irreconcilable, but the two of them quarreled because of face problems before, and now it is indeed a little naïve to think about it.

Since the two of them have entered the palace to serve a husband, and they are not the kind of people who are insidious and ruthless and calculating each other, they still have to be harmonious.

Besides, Zhou Yunyi had given herself enough face before, and Yang Mei decided to give Zhou Yunyi something to show her friendship.

So Yang Mei took some tableware such as silver plates brought from home and sent them to Zhou Yunyi.

The two of them sat in the main hall, the air pressure was extremely low, and the atmosphere was very eerie.

To be honest, Yangmei is not used to it, originally the two of them quarreled as soon as they met, and they could say bad things without repeating a basket, but now they finally want to make friends, but they said something when they met.

Yangmei thought about starting with comfort. "No matter how sad you are, you have to pay attention to your body."

"I will." Zhou Yunyi didn't know that Yangmei was here to show her goodwill, but her current mental state was too sluggish, and she hadn't eaten well and slept normally for several days. Some are dizzy.

Even if she was uncomfortable, Zhou Yunyi had to continue to talk to Yangmei, because if she put on a face for Yangmei today, Yangmei's simple brain circuit would think that Zhou Yunyi didn't wait to see her, and then the two of them would be endless. Zhou Yunyi really didn't want to go through that again.

Zhou Yunyi also began to take the initiative to find a topic, "How is your personal palace maid recovering?" ”

"Oh, you said Redmi, she's fine, it's just the scar on her face...... It's quite long, and the doctor at the hospital said he couldn't get rid of it. ”

Yang Mei said: "I have written a letter begging my father to help me buy two boxes of recovering cream that can remove scars, but I don't know if it will work. ”

Red rice can be regarded as sacrificing his life to save Yangmei, and Yangmei is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness.

"She's not very old. It's quite delicate, but it's a pity. ”

Zhou Yunyi also felt a little guilty about Hongmi in her heart, after all, she gave the short dagger to Hongmi, and told her to take good care of Yangmei, and she didn't expect to end up like this.

Zhou Yunyi asked, "What reward does she want?" You tell me that I will go to the treasury and get some reward for her. ”

"You don't have to reward Hongmi anymore, I have already rewarded her with a lot of gold and silver treasures, and Hongmi is probably the richest little rich woman among all the little palace maids in the harem now."

Zhou Yunyi was amused, "No matter how much you reward, it will also be rewarded by you." I'll give her some more, and that's my heart. ”

Yang Mei said: "Then you can just reward her with some gold and silver." That girl is also a layman, and she loves these things the most. If you give her any antique calligraphy and paintings, she probably won't understand. ”
