Emperor Chengde didn't want to listen to Concubine Xian anymore, so he ordered in a cold voice: "From today onwards, you have thought about it behind closed doors in Ganquan Palace, and when I find out the beginning and end of the ink corruption case five years ago, I will settle accounts with you again!" ”

Concubine Xian struggled to get up: "The concubine obeys the order!" ”

She walked slowly to the door, and couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Has Your Majesty let go of Sister Yu one day over the years?" ”

She has been with him for so many years, has he ever had a little place for her in his heart?

"You don't deserve to mention Shu'er!" Emperor Chengde frowned in disgust.

Concubine Xian was not surprised to get such an answer: "It would be nice if Your Majesty also liked concubines a little." ”

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so keen on power, she just saw clearly that Emperor Chengde had never let go of Yu Shu, and she had never had her in her heart, and then pinned all her hopes on Ah Xing.

Emperor Chengde did not look back at Concubine Xian, and of course did not answer Concubine Xian's question.

Concubine Xian silently made another big bow to Emperor Chengde, and then walked away with the support of Mama Dai.

Early the next morning, Zhou Dusk presented the transcript of the Suzhou ink corruption case, involving more than 100 people, the most shocking of which was that the Zheng family was the mastermind of the case that year.

Although the case is still being tried, it was named in public by Zhou Du when he was in the last court, which is only one step away from the Zheng family's crime.

As soon as Zhou Dui's excerpt came out, it shocked the government and the opposition.

Because of the large number of people involved and the wide range of involvement, Emperor Chengde ordered the three divisions to try the case.

For a time, it was full of wind and rain.

Zhou Du has been so busy since he returned to Beijing that he stayed in the palace many times, and he didn't even have time to go home.

By the time Zhou Du was done and finally free, it was the end of June, and the weather was already hot.

And the Suzhou ink corruption case also had a result, the Zheng family was raided, the man was exiled for 3,000 miles, the female dependents were sold, and the slaves were enslaved, and Concubine Xian did her best to protect Zheng Wanqing and Zheng Wanrong sisters, and let them enter the palace as palace maids.

After the Zheng sisters were taken into the palace, Concubine Xian told their sisters a lot. What she valued most was Zheng Wanqing, and in the end, Zheng Wanqing was left to say a lot of things.

When Zheng Wanqing left Ganquan Palace, Zheng Wanrong immediately stepped forward and asked, "What did Aunt Xian say to her sister?" ”

Zheng Wanqing couldn't speak, but shook her head.

Aunt Xian said that even if Zhou Duan became the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Zheng family would still have a chance to turn over. The last card of the Zheng family is her, and her aunt said to let her seize the opportunity to get Zhou Dui's heart.

This is the real reason why Aunt Xian did everything she could to save her and her sister.

Early the next morning, news about Concubine Xian's self-deprecation in Ganquan Palace spread throughout the palace and beyond.

Zhou Xing, who was confined to the Qin Palace, was expressionless when he heard the news. From the first day after he returned to Beijing, he received an edict to be grounded in the palace of the king of Qin.

The next development of the situation was out of control, the Zheng family asked for the crime, and none of the other people involved in the case were spared.

The mother concubine was temporarily grounded in Ganquan Palace, he thought that the worst result would be to be beaten into the cold palace, and he didn't want the mother concubine to end up deprecating herself.

Zhao De saw Zhou Xing lying on the bed without eating or drinking, and the old tears were full of tears: "Your Highness must take care of your body, otherwise it will be difficult for Concubine Xian Niangniang to rest in peace under Jiuquan." ”

"The mother concubine went, the Zheng family collapsed, and the king was grounded in the palace. Zhao De, does this king still have a chance to turn over? Zhou Xing looked at Zhao De with blank eyes.

Zhao De quickly wiped away his tears: "Of course there is a chance." As long as His Majesty's anger is gone, His Highness's grounding will be lifted, and His Highness will be able to start all over again. We know His Highness's weaknesses, and there will always be a chance to deal with His Highness in the future! The premise is that His Highness can't give up lightly, and must learn from failure! ”

He thought that Concubine Xian Niangniang's self-deprecation was to retreat to the end, and she was opening a bloody path for His Royal Highness King Qin, but he couldn't say these words to His Highness, for fear of stimulating His Highness's emotions.

When Emperor Chengde received the news of Concubine Xian's self-confession, he was silent for a long time, and finally he went to Ganquan Palace.

Over the years, Concubine Xian has kept the harem in good order, and it is undeniable that Concubine Xian is a competent concubine.

When Mama Dai saw Emperor Chengde coming, she presented the suicide note left by Concubine Xian.

"Concubine Xian Niangniang said that she would not be ashamed to see Your Majesty again, and in the end, she only left this letter to Your Majesty, please look at Your Majesty."

Emperor Chengde took the suicide note.

Concubine Xian's suicide note confessed all the details of the ink corruption case five years ago, in order to prove that Zhou Xing was not involved in this case. Concubine Xian also admitted that the Rong family was killed by her, and Zhou Xing didn't know about it. The killer who assassinated Zhou Dui halfway was also sent by her, and presented all the lists.

So this suicide note is to take King Qin out, and it is not a letter of repentance.

Emperor Chengde knew that people's hearts were unpredictable, but the fact that Concubine Xian was still calculating when she was dying really made him angry.

But he also knew that Zhou Xing was indeed not involved in the ink corruption case five years ago. As for Zhou Xing's trip to Suzhou this time, he thought that Zhou Xing was not so innocent.

After that, Emperor Chengde issued an edict to deprive her of the title of virtuous concubine and demote her to a commoner.

After Concubine Xian confessed herself, this sensational ink corruption case came to an end, and the court gradually returned to calm.

On this day, Rong Yu came to the Zhou Mansion again and wanted to see Jian Junyi.

Because Rong Yu took the initiative to hand over the account books of the year, coupled with the agreement with Gu Xiyan on the way back to Beijing, he reversed his guilt and retreated.

And Jian Junyi became Zhou Dui's right-hand man, and his only request was to live in Zhou's mansion, the purpose of which was nothing more than to meet Hu Die often and cultivate feelings by the way.

Only Rong Yu was desperate for Jian Junyi.

In the past, Rong Yu was happy with Jian Junyi, but when she entered Beijing and saw Jian Junyi attached to Zhou Dui, she understood more that Jian Junyi had a bright future and would definitely become a big man in the future.

If she can let Jian Junyi marry her and enter the gate of Jian's house, she will be able to turn over.

It's just that after Jian Junyi entered the Zhou family, she didn't want to see her, and later the guards of the Zhou Mansion blocked her from the door.

Hu Die happened to accompany Gu Xiyan to Bafang Hutong to see Su Mei, and when he came back, he saw Rong Yu guarding in front of the Zhou Mansion and was reluctant to leave.

As soon as Rong Yu saw Hu Die, it was like seeing a savior, and hurriedly came to Hu Die and said, "Little Fluttershy, can you take me to see Brother Jane?!" ”

Hu Die subconsciously looked at Gu Xiyan, this is the Zhou Mansion, she is just a little guard, how can she speak?

Gu Xiyan didn't say anything, and it was up to Hu Die to deal with it.

"I'm just a guard, I can't be accommodating, Miss Rong still asks the princess what she means, right?" When Hu Die said this, he felt very strange.

Obviously, Xiyan is the hostess of the Zhou Mansion, why did Rong Yu ask her?

It's quirky.

Rong Yu seemed to see Gu Xiyan at this time, and saluted her first, and then asked if she could enter the Zhou Mansion.

Gu Xiyan said lukewarmly: "Miss Rong hasn't left the cabinet yet, so she should still pay attention to her reputation." Even if Miss Rong doesn't care about her reputation, she can't ruin Jian Gongzi's reputation. ”
