Chapter 85 The Cold and Tyrant Emperor's Abandoned Concubine 39

Originally, Jun Yu wanted to hold the queen's coronation ceremony first, and then prepare for their wedding in a grand and lively manner. However, as soon as he proposed it, he was rejected by Jiang Wu.

"The emperor's dynasty is in a state of disrepair right now, and there are many places where money needs to be spent. It's just a ceremony, so it's all the same. Don't waste it like this. Hold it together with the ceremony of crowning the queen."

Jiang Wu's understanding made him feel distressed, and he hugged her into his arms, "I know what you are thinking, Wu, but this is too unfair to you."

After changing to a comfortable position in his arms, Jiang Wu spoke up, "How can I feel wronged? I don't have to worry about food and clothing, nor do I have to work hard for a living. I have people to serve me every day and take care of everything for me. I don't feel too comfortable every day, so how can I feel wronged?"

Seeing her bright eyes full of seriousness, Jun Yu no longer insisted and agreed to Jiang Wu's suggestion.

Because this ceremony was the Queen's coronation ceremony and the Emperor and Queen's wedding held together, although Jun Yu said there was no need for extravagance, it was actually much more grand than previous Queen's coronation ceremonies.

The process was very complicated. In addition to the normal six rituals, there were also ceremonies to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, to ancestors, the reading of the imperial edict and the granting of imperial seals to the empress. The emperor and empress went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to accept the worship of ministers, and were accompanied by women of honor.

After the ceremony of conferring the title of Queen is over, the Empress of the Central Palace still needs to accept audiences with the concubines in order to show her benevolence and virtue.

"Your concubine pays homage to the Queen. May the Queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"Give me a seat."

In Changchun Palace, all the concubines came to pay their respects to the Queen according to etiquette.

"The Emperor has announced to all the palaces a few days ago that if you want to leave the palace, you will be given a different identity and sent out. It will not affect your future life. If you don't want to leave the palace, the palace doesn't mind supporting you. It all depends on your own choice."

Now we need to count who has left the palace so that we can make arrangements. The sudden disappearance of so many concubines requires a legitimate reason to make those ministers shut up.

When Gao Dequan went to the palaces to announce the decree, they thought it was the emperor's

Jiang Wu simply admonished the concubines according to the rules and did not make things too difficult for them, except for a few who needed to be punished later.

"Princess Jing, do you admit your guilt?"

Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, she would still feel afraid and regretful when it really came.

"My Queen, I don't understand what you are talking about."

She did that thing secretly, and the Queen couldn't possibly know about it. She couldn't panic at this time.

As I was thinking about it, I saw a familiar object thrown in front of me.

A rosewood incense burner.

"Does it look familiar? I discovered that this incense burner was soaked in the juice of Datura flowers for a long time before it was sent to my palace for use. The entire Datura plant is highly poisonous. You can come up with such a method and send such an unclean thing to me safely. It seems that you have put a lot of thought into it."

Jingpin knelt down and explained: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. This matter has nothing to do with me. I have no grudge against you, so why would I poison you? I hope you can investigate thoroughly and give me justice."

Jingpin spoke sincerely, as if this matter really had nothing to do with her.

"Your personal maid confessed everything, and also revealed that you thought the emperor was murdered and colluded with Xiao family. Since this is a harem matter, I did not hand over the evidence to the Dali Temple."

"Jingpin plotted to murder the concubines and colluded with the rebels. She is stripped of her title and sent to the clan house." After saying that, he glanced at the incense burner and said, "Since you like to play with these things, I will take it to the clan house and light it for you every day."

She discovered it as soon as the incense burner was delivered. She chose to expose it now because she wanted to use this incident as a warning to these people, to teach them not to do these things all day long and to stay in their own palace.

He swept his eyes over the crowd and saw that a few people looked strange, and he knew that they must have done something wrong.

It would have been fine if she didn't know before, but now I still have to make my rules clear to her so that she doesn't have to deal with these trivial matters every day.

"Harmony in the harem is what the emperor and I hope for. I hope you can be careful with your words and actions and not get carried away like Jingpin. Otherwise, I will never let you off easily."

"I will follow the Queen's instructions."

Her goal was achieved. She was so exhausted after a day's work that she didn't want to waste any more time with them.

"Princess Yun stays, the rest of you leave."

After everyone else had left, Yunpin spoke up, "Is there something that made the Queen leave me alone?"

Jiang Wu looked at Qin Shuangyue who was sitting below steadily. She smiled as she was as gentle and quiet as when they first met, and seemed to have no interest in anything.

Jiang Wu didn't rush to talk about the matter, but talked about an irrelevant topic: "Shuangyue used to call me Ah Wu, why do you call me so strangely now?"

Qin Shuangyue's smile was flawless. "Awu is the queen now. There is a difference between the high and the low. The proper respect should be shown."

Jiang Wu didn't know how she could keep calm while saying such hypocritical and smooth words, so she exposed her directly: "Shuang Yue, don't you know why I want to talk to you? The Xiao family can no longer stir up any trouble. Are you sure you want to continue working for them?"

As if she had expected this day, Qin Shuangyue finally put away her fake smile and looked at Jiang Wu with cold and unfamiliar eyes, "Since you already know everything, there is no need for me to tell you again, just give me a quick death!"

Qin Shuangyue's face was filled with confusion and loneliness. "But I want to know where I revealed my flaws."

Every meeting between her and Jiang Wu was planned, even Jiang Wu's later visit to her and the two of them becoming friends were all part of their plan.

Originally, seeing that Jiang Wu was sent to the cold palace after entering the palace, they had no intention of making any use of her as a concubine. However, who knew that the emperor would suddenly show great interest and preference for her, forcing them to change their plans temporarily and send someone to contact Jiang Wu.

And the candidate is her, a marginal figure who was sent to the palace by her family, but has no idea about the emperor, just wants to keep herself out of trouble and does not want to cause any disturbance.

"Because of what your mother said, or rather, what the censor's wife said."

"During the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, your mother came to the palace to meet the emperor and visited you. When she was seeing the lady off, Lu Zhu happened to hear Madam Qin muttering that you used to hate tending to flowers and plants, but now that you have entered the palace, you have changed your personality and become much quieter."

Qin Shuangyue asked her, "You have changed your personality since entering the palace. Is there anything wrong with raising some flowers and plants?"

She didn't think that such a sentence would expose her identity. She even thought it was ridiculous to expose her identity because of such a sentence, and felt that Jiang Wu was just being perfunctory.

"That sounds fine, but when I first met you, you had a faint floral scent lingering around you. The scent was so faint that you couldn't smell it unless you looked carefully."

"According to normal time calculation, you had only been in the palace for less than half a year. Even if you started tending to flowers and plants on the first day of entering the palace, you would not have achieved such an effect. I thought you also liked these things at home, so I didn't take it seriously."

At this point, Qin Shuangyue suddenly realized. She didn't expect that she had inadvertently revealed such a big flaw. No wonder Jiang Wu discovered her.
