Five-year enthronement three-year simulation
Chapter 29
It is really unlucky to see blood at the New Year banquet.
The emperor was full of anger, and waved Sheng An to invite the imperial physician, but Wen Jieyu, who was still hugging the pipa, remained silent for a long time, letting the blood flow down the wrist and soak the cuff.
Seeing the emperor's complexion, everyone was a little panicked, but Concubine Ning was still staring at Wen Jieyu with a happy heart, trying her best to suppress the smile on her lips.
Dare to threaten this palace?I don't even look at whether I have this ability!
Thinking back to the past few days, Wen Jieyu claimed to have the evidence that she had several tire slippages, and she was determined to make her pay the price for this arrogant face...
A bit of contempt flashed across Concubine Ning's eyes.
Ever since she joined hands with Concubine Wan and obtained a lot of weird poisons from the other party, she has already covered the sky with one hand in this palace—what are the few fetuses still in the womb?
Even the Ninth Princess, who has received a lot of grace, Ning Fei can do whatever she wants, let alone Wen Jieyu, who is not of high status?
Just let this ignorant woman take her so-called "evidence" and go to hell obediently!
Concubine Ning smiled coldly, turned her head to look in the direction of Concubine Song condescendingly, and was going to confirm with her again whether she succeeded.
However, at this moment, the latter who was originally sitting quietly got up suddenly, walked quickly to the front of the hall, kowtowed to the emperor without hesitation, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, my concubine is guilty!"
Her movements are so smooth and smooth, it seems like she has planned for a long time, no one expected to come out like this.Even the emperor was obviously taken aback, looking at Concubine Song who was not far away with a pale complexion but a very firm tone, slowly frowned, and asked suspiciously: "What is your crime?"
Concubine Ning's eyes widened in shock at this totally unexpected situation.Her heart was beating wildly, the thoughts in her head were almost entangled into a mess, and cold sweat unconsciously broke out on her forehead, soaking her temples.
This concubine Song Gui, what is she doing!
"A concubine is the first crime."
Song Guifei knelt on the ground firmly, and said in a steady voice: "The crime is to intentionally damage Wen Jieyu's pipa strings, so that she will make a fool of herself at today's New Year's banquet, which will annoy Your Majesty."
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion among the concubines, and many people began to whisper to each other, pointing at the two people in the hall.
"Isn't Song Guifei on good terms with Wen Jieyu?"
"Tsk tsk, how many years have they been friends? To actually frame up my good sister, you really know people and face but don't know your heart..."
The queen glanced at the commotion crowd, coughed lightly, and immediately the witty concubine understood the look, and hurried to remind others to shut up.
After a few breaths, the hall returned to silence.
"'First crime'?"
The emperor looked at Wen Jieyu, whose eyes suddenly became fierce, and Song Guifei, who was still kneeling and refused to look up, and said coldly, "Apart from this, what other crimes do you have?"
The ominous premonition in Concubine Ning's heart became more and more serious, and the sharp nails involuntarily dug into her hands.
She wanted Song Guibin to shut up immediately, but she opened and closed her lips for a long while, but couldn't even utter half a syllable, so she could only watch her continue.
"The concubine's second crime is that she wanted to obey the order of the villain..."
Speaking of this, Concubine Song straightened up abruptly, looked at the emperor, and said almost word by word: "Smear the pipa strings with the milk given by Concubine Ning, after Wen Jieyu was cut. , Let her gradually be poisoned to death!"
"what!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was another commotion in the palace, and many concubines looked at Concubine Ning in shock.
I saw the latter's face was gloomy, his eyes were as serious as a poisonous snake, he nailed Song Guibi viciously, and suddenly got up and shouted angrily: "Song Guibi, you spout blood, how dare you slander my palace in court, with your intentions Where is it!"
Concubine Song still kept her back straight, and upon hearing this, she only glanced at Concubine Ning, and said in a steady voice: "Although this concubine did not apply poison to the string, the medicine bottle given by Concubine Ning is still there... If the empress thinks that the concubine is slandering her, she only needs to go to the imperial hospital once to know that what the concubine said is true or not."
"you you!"
The emperor looked at the two of them without saying a word, and remained silent for a while.
However, it was Wen Jieyu, whose hands were dripping with blood, who suddenly sneered, raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Ning, and said with a sharp voice, "Why are you so anxious that you can't even speak? Could it be... Is it because I was temporarily betrayed by someone, and the six gods have no master, that's why you are in such a panic?"
"Nonsense! How dare you speak to me like that—"
"Shut up."
Before Concubine Ning and Wen Jieyu began to scold each other, the emperor opened his mouth in time, glanced at them warningly, and continued to order to the hall: "Concubine Song Gui, continue talking."
In the center of the storm, Concubine Song was calm, and kowtowed again, "Yes. There is a third crime for a concubine."
Hearing these words, Concubine Ning's heart felt as if someone had suddenly grabbed her. She tremblingly met the emperor's scrutinizing eyes, and felt that the blood in her whole body suddenly turned cold.
Over the years, relying on her father's prestige in the court, Concubine Ning actually knew that she was not so clean... Otherwise, when Wen Jieyu claimed that she had the evidence, she would not be so determined to get rid of the other party up.
How to do how to do?
If Concubine Song told the truth, how should I respond?
On the dragon chair, the emperor looked at Concubine Ning's pale complexion, and slightly narrowed his eyes.
And beside him, Ming Tan's eyes glanced lightly at Concubine Wan, who was sitting at the head, and saw that the latter was looking at Concubine Ning with a face full of disbelief, and the eyes were half-believing and dubious, which was very in line with common sense. flaw.
"..."
Ming Tan withdrew his gaze, and then heard Song Guifei say in a flat voice: "When Concubine Ning was in power in the past, she used the medicinal material of broken bones to cause Wen Jieyu to have three miscarriages... One of them was actually written by a concubine. The concubine is willing to plead guilty."
According to "Compendium of Materia Medica", broken bones, also known as light bamboo leaves, have the effect of promoting blood circulation, and its abortion is like broken bones. Pregnant women with beards should not use this medicine.
"Snapped--"
Suddenly there was a loud noise in the hall.
Wen Jieyu stood up suddenly, and slammed the pipa on the ground with her backhand. The unstoppable blood splashed from her wrist, and even a few drops fell on the side of Concubine Song's face.
As if she was going crazy, she grabbed the latter's skirt fiercely, her eyes were like knives on the other's body, and she smiled bitterly: "Her accomplice is actually you...!"
"It's me." Song Guipin said, "Back then I sent charcoal and clothes for you, just to fulfill Concubine Ning's order, to better replace your original medicinal materials with broken bones."
Wen Jieyu trembled violently.
She stared at Song Guibi's lifeless face for a while, then slowly let go of her fingertips, and murmured with a half-crying smile: "I thought that even though you were coerced by her, you still had a conscience— "
"Sister Wen, I'm the one who can't help you."
Concubine Song Gui lowered her gaze, raised her head again, her gaze swept across the expressionless Ming Tan's face, and finally landed on the emperor.
"The concubine's palace still stores the letters between the concubine and the empress Ning over the years, and I brought them here today, please have a look at them, Your Majesty."
letter--!
Concubine Ning was dizzy, her lips trembled, she felt as if she had been struck by five thunders, and all the energy in her body was dissipated immediately.
Originally, in the first few years when she dispatched Concubine Song, she would send someone to supervise the other party to burn all the letters; but after a long time, seeing Concubine Song obeying her orders, Concubine Ning felt relieved , I have never worried about this matter.
But she didn't expect that this woman, whom she had always regarded as a pug, would leave such a handle without a sound!
"Miss!"
Seeing that Concubine Ning was almost on the verge of falling, Chun Co was so frightened that she quickly helped her by the arm, and called in a low voice: "It's been so long, and Wen Jieyu has never been favored. For the sake of Lord Shang Shu, Your Majesty won't do it." I will hold on to this matter, so you have to hold on!"
right!And her father!
Concubine Ning was like enlightened, her eyes lit up, as if she had grasped an invisible straw.
As long as she refuses to admit it to death, her father will always find a way to help her get rid of the stigma!
Thinking of this, Concubine Ning tried her best to calm down as if she had found her backbone, and knelt down before the emperor and said, "Your Majesty! The letter submitted by Concubine Song must be fake! The concubine has been in the palace for many years and has been serving His Majesty wholeheartedly. I have never done such an outrageous thing, please investigate clearly!"
However, the emperor didn't even give her half of the corner of his eye, and only said: "Submit the letter and show it to me."
Concubine Ning shivered, raised her head in disbelief, and saw a maid of Concubine Song coming in a hurry, holding a lot of familiar tissue paper, which was exactly what she had seen when she gave the order to the other party. Write letters!
"..."
Why, why does His Majesty not believe her?
Even if it's just for father's sake, His Majesty shouldn't ignore her defense!
Concubine Ning felt her head buzzing in this room and her whole body went limp, while in the other room, the maid had already presented the letter to the table.
The emperor's face sank like water, he was staring at the familiar notes on the letter, and when he was about to wave the maid away, his movements suddenly stopped.
At the same time, even the queen stood up abruptly with a shocked expression, "You..."
The palace maid lowered her eyes, fell to her knees with a "plop", as if she had made up her mind, she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Empress, the servant girl's name is Qiubai, she is... Xia Tao's biological sister."
"—!"
Ming Jing's fingertips trembled, and the cup containing the liquor was accidentally knocked over. He looked up suddenly, and saw the expressions of the emperor and empress suddenly changed, they were a hundred times more angry than when they learned about Concubine Ning just now.
In the next second, Song Guifei's ghostly voice sounded again, and said softly: "Back then, Concubine Ning raised these two sisters from Yeting, and threatened Qiu Bai's life to force Xia Tao to poison the ninth princess... ..."
"After the incident, Xia Tao committed suicide, and Concubine Ning ordered her concubine to execute Qiu Bai as well; but at that time, my concubine felt remorseful and didn't do so, so Qiu Bai became my concubine's maid..."
"Bastard!"
In a rage, the emperor threw the wine glass on the table, pointed at Qiubai and shouted sharply, "You guys are so brave!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Seeing that the Holy Majesty was furious, everyone in the banquet immediately fell to their knees in fright, not daring to breathe.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Only Wen Jieyu, who had been out of her mind for a long time, seemed to have finally come to her senses at this time, and she even raised the corners of her lips, and turned her head to smile at Concubine Ning who was ashamed.
"Mother, I really don't know whether I should say you are smart or stupid like a pig." Her laughter was as sweet as a silver bell, but it made Concubine Ning's whole body freeze when she heard it, as if she had fallen into hell.
"That's His Royal Highness Ninth Princess, Princess Yonghui, who was proclaimed by the emperor... is also someone you deserve?"
After finishing speaking, she turned around again, put away that smile, and solemnly kowtowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, there is also a record of taking medicine from the imperial hospital in the concubine's palace - when the concubine was pregnant for the first time, it was the concubine Ning who sent someone to bribe the imperial physician Li who was visiting the doctor, and ordered him to deliver the medicine. A few medicinal ingredients in the fetal prescription were dropped, which caused the concubine to have a miscarriage several times, making it difficult to conceive again!"
There were a few gasps from the crowd.
For a woman in the palace, besides the grace, the most important thing is to have a prince by her side, otherwise she will end up guarding the mausoleum in the end.
Concubine Ning was ruthless, making her unable to conceive, and she could no longer have any hope... No wonder Wen Jieyu hated her so much, and kept holding on to her for so many years, just to wait for this moment today.
Several concubines who were saddened by Concubine Ning looked at each other and said in their hearts that evil will be rewarded with evil, which is very satisfying.
The people at the main seat were not in such a good mood as they were.
The queen was trembling with anger, while the emperor stared at the three women condescendingly, his face was gloomy, and there seemed to be a piece of burning ice in his eyes.
"Concubine Ning," he said coldly, controlling the anger surging in his heart, "what else do you have to say?"
"No, Your Majesty... I didn't do those things..." Concubine Ning was obviously panicked, and she couldn't even explain herself intermittently.
It's just that she has been living so smoothly these years, but in the end she capsized in the gutter.
The emperor pursed his lips and stared at her, his eyes were almost filled with hatred, his fingers subconsciously twitched twice, and he almost couldn't help but overturned the table——
Just at this moment, a small hand grabbed his sleeve.
The emperor was startled, turned his head and lowered his eyes, only to see Ming Tan standing beside him at some point, with his head up and smiling at him.
"Father, don't be angry," the little girl in red said with a smile, "I broke my body because of this kind of anger, how can it be worth it?"
The eyes full of sternness gradually became gentle, and the hostility around him gradually disappeared. The emperor raised his hand, stroked Ming Tan's head, and nodded slightly to her.
—Dragon scales.
He named this daughter Longlin because she was his Nilin.
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
The emperor looked around for a week, taking in all the different expressions on everyone's faces, and said coldly: "Until all the facts come to light, Concubine Ning is confined to Chongle Palace. I will send guards to guard, and no one in the palace is allowed to go half a step. No one is allowed to visit!"
When he said this, his eyes seemed to pass over Concubine Wan Guifei, but he saw that the latter's expression was the same, as usual, as calm as water, and he was following everyone's blessings.
"...As for Concubine Song Gui." The emperor withdrew his gaze, glanced at the woman who seemed to be determined to die, and then looked at the sixth prince Ming Ye who was full of tears and frightened during the banquet.
After a pause, he slowly said: "Although you claim to be coerced by Concubine Ning, after all, you have personally murdered Wen Jieyu's child, and according to the law, you should immediately enter the court—"
"Mother concubine!"
Suddenly a boy jumped out from behind the table, and knelt down beside Concubine Song in panic, with red eyes, kowtowing to the emperor repeatedly.
"Father! The conditions in the court are harsh, and the mother is harsh. Few of the people who go there can survive... I beg you, for the sake of mother and concubine's repentance, please forgive me and punish her lightly. Don't treat mother Concubine go to prison! I beg you, son!"
"Ye'er!" Seeing his son, Song Guipin was finally moved.She held Ming Ye's hand in her palm, tears streaming down her clothes, and wept softly, "Mother concubine deserves what she deserves... Ye'er is a good and sensible child, stop talking nonsense, go back quickly, Did you hear that?"
"I don't!" Ming Ye cried, "I don't want my concubine to leave!"
The mother and son hugged each other and wept bitterly.Ming Tan sighed silently, and just when he was about to intercede with Concubine Song, he heard the emperor snort coldly, glanced at them, and finished the second half of the sentence with a faint mouth: "However, when Concubine Song revealed If you make meritorious deeds, you don't need to be dispatched to Ye Ting. You can just be relegated to promise and spend half a year contemplating behind closed doors in the palace."
"...!"
Turning around, Song Guipin was still in a daze, but Mingye at the side was already beaming with joy, and hurriedly kowtowed a few more times, still crying: "Thank you, Father, for your kindness!"
Beside the two of them, Wen Jieyu turned her head to look at her former friend, lowered her eyes, and seemed to be silently relieved.
Hate is hate, grace is grace...
She has always had a clear distinction between grievances and resentments.It is true that Song Guifei caused her to lose her son and be sterilized, but the kindness that almost saved her life was also true.
Things are over here, grievances and enmities are balanced, from now on it will be treated as never having met each other, that's all.
On the first day of the first lunar month after the New Year's Eve family banquet ended hastily, the emperor made a personal order and sent someone to investigate the matter of Concubine Ning thoroughly.
In the palace of Song Ying and Wen Jieyu, there are all personal and material evidences, even if they don't go to Chongle Palace to search again, it is enough to convict; Concubine Wan is wise and safe, and she is ready to push everything on Concubine Ning alone, but she won it herself. It's clear and innocent - in these few things, except for providing medicinal materials, she never appeared in person, and naturally no one could catch her pigtails.
Under the strife of several parties, even if Concubine Ning tried to deny it, she could not succeed, so she could only pin her hopes on her father Zhu Shangshu.
However, during the seal holiday, Zhu Shangshu could only wait for the emperor to return to court before making any plans, even if he was very anxious.
Concubine Song's status was downgraded to Promise, her rank was too low, coupled with her poor morals, she was no longer qualified to raise Ming Ye herself.
After all, he was a prince. The emperor originally wanted to adopt Mingye to Concubine Wen, who had never fought or snatched, and only had two married twin daughters, but the other party firmly refused.
In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Concubine Yi Hua Rong again, but in the end, the latter shied away with the reason that "the sixth prince is not as well-behaved as the ninth princess, and concubines don't like it".
After much deliberation, after screening all the concubines in the palace, the emperor finally made a decision and adopted the sixth prince to the noble Jing who only had one princess.
Jinggui was a little at a loss for this move.
But after all, Ming Ye is about to be able to go to the study room to study, and he is already sensible; in addition, Mrs. Jing is devoted to her daughter Ming Ye, and has no feelings for this son who was picked up for nothing, so she simply became a good person, and at the same time The latter said: After Song promised that the confinement period expires, Mingye can quietly go back to his mother and concubine, and does not have to stay in Ruilanxuan for a long time.
Ming Ye was naturally very grateful to her, and everyone was happy.
For Ming Tan, things are still developing in the expected direction.
The emperor has been constrained by the Ministry of Households for a long time, and he has long wanted to solve Zhu Shangshu. Over the years, he has secretly searched for many things that can pull the latter off his horse, but he has been missing a good opportunity.
After the restoration of the dynasty, Zhu Shangshu really threatened the emperor with the matter of Concubine Ning—however, Ming Jing and Lin Xiang came out one by one. In the former's unbelievable eyes, you exposed Zhu Zhishen's early years Many evil deeds such as accepting bribes to collect money, embezzling Mo Yuanzhou's disaster relief silver, and so on.
After all, he was an old minister, the emperor was kind and virtuous, and gave him the last decency, so that Zhu Zhishen asked himself to retire and return to his hometown.
In Chongle Palace, after the news of her father's downfall and her indefinitely extended confinement came one after another, Concubine Ning immediately sat down for a long time, laughing a few times, tears winding down her cheeks.
They Zhushi's family is full of glory, now... it is completely over.
The author has something to say: This chapter is not short!Ask the babies to boast QAQ!
When the nutrient solution reaches an integer, it will be added more, more heart-to-heart~
The emperor was full of anger, and waved Sheng An to invite the imperial physician, but Wen Jieyu, who was still hugging the pipa, remained silent for a long time, letting the blood flow down the wrist and soak the cuff.
Seeing the emperor's complexion, everyone was a little panicked, but Concubine Ning was still staring at Wen Jieyu with a happy heart, trying her best to suppress the smile on her lips.
Dare to threaten this palace?I don't even look at whether I have this ability!
Thinking back to the past few days, Wen Jieyu claimed to have the evidence that she had several tire slippages, and she was determined to make her pay the price for this arrogant face...
A bit of contempt flashed across Concubine Ning's eyes.
Ever since she joined hands with Concubine Wan and obtained a lot of weird poisons from the other party, she has already covered the sky with one hand in this palace—what are the few fetuses still in the womb?
Even the Ninth Princess, who has received a lot of grace, Ning Fei can do whatever she wants, let alone Wen Jieyu, who is not of high status?
Just let this ignorant woman take her so-called "evidence" and go to hell obediently!
Concubine Ning smiled coldly, turned her head to look in the direction of Concubine Song condescendingly, and was going to confirm with her again whether she succeeded.
However, at this moment, the latter who was originally sitting quietly got up suddenly, walked quickly to the front of the hall, kowtowed to the emperor without hesitation, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, my concubine is guilty!"

Concubine Ning's eyes widened in shock at this totally unexpected situation.Her heart was beating wildly, the thoughts in her head were almost entangled into a mess, and cold sweat unconsciously broke out on her forehead, soaking her temples.
This concubine Song Gui, what is she doing!
"A concubine is the first crime."
Song Guifei knelt on the ground firmly, and said in a steady voice: "The crime is to intentionally damage Wen Jieyu's pipa strings, so that she will make a fool of herself at today's New Year's banquet, which will annoy Your Majesty."
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion among the concubines, and many people began to whisper to each other, pointing at the two people in the hall.
"Isn't Song Guifei on good terms with Wen Jieyu?"
"Tsk tsk, how many years have they been friends? To actually frame up my good sister, you really know people and face but don't know your heart..."
The queen glanced at the commotion crowd, coughed lightly, and immediately the witty concubine understood the look, and hurried to remind others to shut up.
After a few breaths, the hall returned to silence.

Only Wen Jieyu, who had been out of her mind for a long time, seemed to have finally come to her senses at this time, and she even raised the corners of her lips, and turned her head to smile at Concubine Ning who was ashamed.
"Mother, I really don't know whether I should say you are smart or stupid like a pig." Her laughter was as sweet as a silver bell, but it made Concubine Ning's whole body freeze when she heard it, as if she had fallen into hell.
"That's His Royal Highness Ninth Princess, Princess Yonghui, who was proclaimed by the emperor... is also someone you deserve?"
After finishing speaking, she turned around again, put away that smile, and solemnly kowtowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, there is also a record of taking medicine from the imperial hospital in the concubine's palace - when the concubine was pregnant for the first time, it was the concubine Ning who sent someone to bribe the imperial physician Li who was visiting the doctor, and ordered him to deliver the medicine. A few medicinal ingredients in the fetal prescription were dropped, which caused the concubine to have a miscarriage several times, making it difficult to conceive again!"
There were a few gasps from the crowd.
For a woman in the palace, besides the grace, the most important thing is to have a prince by her side, otherwise she will end up guarding the mausoleum in the end.
Concubine Ning was ruthless, making her unable to conceive, and she could no longer have any hope... No wonder Wen Jieyu hated her so much, and kept holding on to her for so many years, just to wait for this moment today.
Several concubines who were saddened by Concubine Ning looked at each other and said in their hearts that evil will be rewarded with evil, which is very satisfying.
The people at the main seat were not in such a good mood as they were.
The queen was trembling with anger, while the emperor stared at the three women condescendingly, his face was gloomy, and there seemed to be a piece of burning ice in his eyes.
"Concubine Ning," he said coldly, controlling the anger surging in his heart, "what else do you have to say?"
"No, Your Majesty... I didn't do those things..." Concubine Ning was obviously panicked, and she couldn't even explain herself intermittently.
It's just that she has been living so smoothly these years, but in the end she capsized in the gutter.
The emperor pursed his lips and stared at her, his eyes were almost filled with hatred, his fingers subconsciously twitched twice, and he almost couldn't help but overturned the table——
Just at this moment, a small hand grabbed his sleeve.
The emperor was startled, turned his head and lowered his eyes, only to see Ming Tan standing beside him at some point, with his head up and smiling at him.
"Father, don't be angry," the little girl in red said with a smile, "I broke my body because of this kind of anger, how can it be worth it?"
The eyes full of sternness gradually became gentle, and the hostility around him gradually disappeared. The emperor raised his hand, stroked Ming Tan's head, and nodded slightly to her.
—Dragon scales.
He named this daughter Longlin because she was his Nilin.
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
The emperor looked around for a week, taking in all the different expressions on everyone's faces, and said coldly: "Until all the facts come to light, Concubine Ning is confined to Chongle Palace. I will send guards to guard, and no one in the palace is allowed to go half a step. No one is allowed to visit!"
When he said this, his eyes seemed to pass over Concubine Wan Guifei, but he saw that the latter's expression was the same, as usual, as calm as water, and he was following everyone's blessings.
"...As for Concubine Song Gui." The emperor withdrew his gaze, glanced at the woman who seemed to be determined to die, and then looked at the sixth prince Ming Ye who was full of tears and frightened during the banquet.
After a pause, he slowly said: "Although you claim to be coerced by Concubine Ning, after all, you have personally murdered Wen Jieyu's child, and according to the law, you should immediately enter the court—"
"Mother concubine!"
Suddenly a boy jumped out from behind the table, and knelt down beside Concubine Song in panic, with red eyes, kowtowing to the emperor repeatedly.
"Father! The conditions in the court are harsh, and the mother is harsh. Few of the people who go there can survive... I beg you, for the sake of mother and concubine's repentance, please forgive me and punish her lightly. Don't treat mother Concubine go to prison! I beg you, son!"
"Ye'er!" Seeing his son, Song Guipin was finally moved.She held Ming Ye's hand in her palm, tears streaming down her clothes, and wept softly, "Mother concubine deserves what she deserves... Ye'er is a good and sensible child, stop talking nonsense, go back quickly, Did you hear that?"
"I don't!" Ming Ye cried, "I don't want my concubine to leave!"
The mother and son hugged each other and wept bitterly.Ming Tan sighed silently, and just when he was about to intercede with Concubine Song, he heard the emperor snort coldly, glanced at them, and finished the second half of the sentence with a faint mouth: "However, when Concubine Song revealed If you make meritorious deeds, you don't need to be dispatched to Ye Ting. You can just be relegated to promise and spend half a year contemplating behind closed doors in the palace."
"...!"
Turning around, Song Guipin was still in a daze, but Mingye at the side was already beaming with joy, and hurriedly kowtowed a few more times, still crying: "Thank you, Father, for your kindness!"
Beside the two of them, Wen Jieyu turned her head to look at her former friend, lowered her eyes, and seemed to be silently relieved.
Hate is hate, grace is grace...
She has always had a clear distinction between grievances and resentments.It is true that Song Guifei caused her to lose her son and be sterilized, but the kindness that almost saved her life was also true.
Things are over here, grievances and enmities are balanced, from now on it will be treated as never having met each other, that's all.
On the first day of the first lunar month after the New Year's Eve family banquet ended hastily, the emperor made a personal order and sent someone to investigate the matter of Concubine Ning thoroughly.
In the palace of Song Ying and Wen Jieyu, there are all personal and material evidences, even if they don't go to Chongle Palace to search again, it is enough to convict; Concubine Wan is wise and safe, and she is ready to push everything on Concubine Ning alone, but she won it herself. It's clear and innocent - in these few things, except for providing medicinal materials, she never appeared in person, and naturally no one could catch her pigtails.
Under the strife of several parties, even if Concubine Ning tried to deny it, she could not succeed, so she could only pin her hopes on her father Zhu Shangshu.
However, during the seal holiday, Zhu Shangshu could only wait for the emperor to return to court before making any plans, even if he was very anxious.
Concubine Song's status was downgraded to Promise, her rank was too low, coupled with her poor morals, she was no longer qualified to raise Ming Ye herself.
After all, he was a prince. The emperor originally wanted to adopt Mingye to Concubine Wen, who had never fought or snatched, and only had two married twin daughters, but the other party firmly refused.
In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Concubine Yi Hua Rong again, but in the end, the latter shied away with the reason that "the sixth prince is not as well-behaved as the ninth princess, and concubines don't like it".
After much deliberation, after screening all the concubines in the palace, the emperor finally made a decision and adopted the sixth prince to the noble Jing who only had one princess.
Jinggui was a little at a loss for this move.
But after all, Ming Ye is about to be able to go to the study room to study, and he is already sensible; in addition, Mrs. Jing is devoted to her daughter Ming Ye, and has no feelings for this son who was picked up for nothing, so she simply became a good person, and at the same time The latter said: After Song promised that the confinement period expires, Mingye can quietly go back to his mother and concubine, and does not have to stay in Ruilanxuan for a long time.
Ming Ye was naturally very grateful to her, and everyone was happy.
For Ming Tan, things are still developing in the expected direction.
The emperor has been constrained by the Ministry of Households for a long time, and he has long wanted to solve Zhu Shangshu. Over the years, he has secretly searched for many things that can pull the latter off his horse, but he has been missing a good opportunity.
After the restoration of the dynasty, Zhu Shangshu really threatened the emperor with the matter of Concubine Ning—however, Ming Jing and Lin Xiang came out one by one. In the former's unbelievable eyes, you exposed Zhu Zhishen's early years Many evil deeds such as accepting bribes to collect money, embezzling Mo Yuanzhou's disaster relief silver, and so on.
After all, he was an old minister, the emperor was kind and virtuous, and gave him the last decency, so that Zhu Zhishen asked himself to retire and return to his hometown.
In Chongle Palace, after the news of her father's downfall and her indefinitely extended confinement came one after another, Concubine Ning immediately sat down for a long time, laughing a few times, tears winding down her cheeks.
They Zhushi's family is full of glory, now... it is completely over.
