General and Princess - Chapter 97
The interrogation of the Minister of Officials turned out to be extraordinarily easy. The Punishment did not even interrogate much, so Master Wu directly recruited them all.
The emperor looked at the contents of Master Wu’s complaint, one after another, and his eyes became darker and darker.
All those involved in the case were severely punished.
Master Wu and all the participants were all killed after the autumn, and the family of Master Wu was demoted to slavery.
And rehabilitated the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Shang Shuling is a timid person. Seeing that the situation is not good, he immediately finds an excuse and abandons the current main house, just like the daughter of the Minister of Industry when he retired.
He even went to the temple to give incense to the original partner, a look of deep affection and righteousness.
The emperor seemed to appease Lord Pei, and under Li Zhengping’s suggestion, he gave Shen Shiyun’s brother, Shen Ruiming, a chance to have a palace exam.
Shen Ruiming, who Di Shengyue also inquired about, is a talented person.
In addition to the emperor’s guilt, Shen Ruiming’s position as Minister of Industry is basically stable.
The second prince immediately proposed in the courtroom that he felt that Shen Shiyun was virtuous and wanted to help him become the main family.
With the elder brother, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Shen Shiyun’s status has also risen.
The Minister of Industry and the Minister of Household, before you know it, there are already two important official positions beside the second prince.
Everyone just thinks that the second prince is a piece of shit, but they don’t know that the second prince has been planning since a long time ago.
Since Wen Dou, the second prince took the lead and asked to marry Shen Shihan, the second prince has been paving the way, just for today’s outbreak.
Such a strategy, such a long-term calculation, Di Shengyue sighed.
In addition, the second prince was able to hide for so many years without revealing any clues.
Di Shengyue suddenly understood Prime Minister Gao’s choice.
Compared with the second prince, Xiao Yinxue is still a little worse.
Because Concubine Rou’s palace is relatively close, they were sent to Concubine Rou’s palace together.
Di Shengyue heard the words and immediately followed the palace servants to Concubine Rou’s palace.
The eldest princess and Concubine Rou have not been in harmony for a day or two. It is also a common thing in the palace to quarrel when they meet, but this time the trouble was bigger and they fell into the water together.
The palace staff discussed a few words and then dispersed.
Even though she knew that this was a play made by Xiao Yinxue and Concubine Rou, but seeing Xiao Yinxue holding the heater and trembling constantly, Di Shengyue couldn’t help feeling distressed .
She stepped forward, took Xiao Yinxue’s hands, breathed lightly, rubbed her, and said with a little reproach: “Even if it’s a play, it’s not necessary Fall into the water. Look at you, frozen like this.”
“I know, the princess must have missed being punished by me.” Di Shengyue raised her head, scratched the tip of her nose lightly, and said.
Xiao Yinxue’s cheeks flushed immediately: “This is Concubine Rou’s palace!”
“If there is another time for the princess, I don’t care where I am.” Di Shengyue leaned close to her ear and said viciously, “Let’s teach you a lesson first and then talk about it.” !”
Xiao Yinxue blushed and stopped talking.
Concubine Rou has changed into a dress, her long black hair is casually draped around her body, and her dark eyes are extraordinarily bright.
On weekdays, Concubine Rou is all dressed up in gaudy clothes, full of pearls and emeralds, with a flamboyant demeanor, for fear that others will not know that he is a concubine.
Seeing the elegantly dressed Concubine Rou today, Di Shengyue discovered that Concubine Rou is very beautiful, with a gentle and elegant beauty.
The years did not leave any traces on her cheeks, she looked like she was still in her twenties.
Di Shengyue looked at Concubine Rou in surprise.
Before she was still wondering why the emperor liked Concubine Rou, now that she saw Concubine Rou like this, she realized that Concubine Rou is indeed a beauty.
Concubine Rou sat on the chair, ordered someone to make a pot of tea, and then screened all the palace attendants.
“Concubine Rou, you have been with the Empress for many years, do you know someone?” Di Shengyue looked at Concubine Rou and asked.
“Oh? Who?” Concubine Rou lifted the tea cup, lifted the lid, and blew the hot tea.
“Miss Jinyun.” Di Shengyue looked at Concubine Rou.
Concubine Rou heard the name, her eyes did not fluctuate at all, she just took a sip of tea and said lightly: “I know, she died very early.”
“I ordered someone to check Miss Jinyun and found something very interesting.” Di Shengyue said slowly.
Speaking of interesting things, Xiao Yinxue listened carefully.
“A few days after Miss Jinyun’s death, a maid next to the queen won the favor of the emperor and became a noble. Don’t the goddess think that this matter is a bit strange?”
Xiao Yinxue widened her eyes to look at Concubine Rou.
The meaning of Di Shengyue’s words is obvious, Concubine Rou is Miss Jinyun!
Concubine Rou put the teacup in her hand aside, smiled, looked at the two, and said, “Since you have found it, I will not hide it from you. Yes, I am Jin Yun.”
As soon as Concubine Rou admitted, many things that Di Shengyue couldn’t figure out before, suddenly became clear.
She doesn’t need to ask any more to know that the poison on Xiao Yinxue must be from Concubine Rou, the purpose is to protect Xiao Yinxue.
A princess with a weak body and no threat, who would go to great lengths to harm her?
Only Concubine Rou can blend the proportions of the herbs so perfectly, making the princess look weak without hurting her in the slightest.
“You are clearly the most capable person by the mother’s side, why…” Xiao Yinxueyuan wanted to ask Concubine Rou why she kept targeting the queen.
The events of that year were more complicated than she imagined.
“I think this is what the Empress means.” Di Shengyue looked straight at Concubine Rou and said, “I just want to know, what is the Empress making so many arrangements for? “
“All these arrangements are just to keep the second prince.” Concubine Rou said.
Second prince?
Xiao Yinxue’s mind couldn’t help but conjecture.
And Di Shengyue’s eyes showed what it meant.
“When I was ploughing in the spring, I found out that the profile of the second prince is almost exactly the same as that of the princess. But it does not resemble the profile of the emperor.” Di Shengyue slowly pointed out, “The second Prince, no, it should be said to be the eldest prince. It is the younger brother of the princess, right?”
Concubine Rou glanced at Di Shengyue in surprise, nodded and said, “Not bad.”
Xiao Yinxue’s eyes widened, she never thought that her own younger brother was still alive in the world.
“What happened back then?” Xiao Yinxue asked.
“In those days, the Empress won the last victory, and it was only a month before she returned to the palace, and she became pregnant. But at that time, the capital suddenly began to praise the Empress, and the praise became more and more intense. There was even a call for the empress to ascend to the throne. How can someone like the emperor tolerate such a thing. So he has murderous intentions for the empress.” Concubine Rou said, a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes, “Now the empress , bribed the officials of Sitianjian, saying that the empress was born to be a prince. At that time, the empress held a heavy army, and Prime Minister Gao also had a place in the court. The emperor was afraid that once the first prince was born, the queen would seize the palace and support the first prince as a puppet. So I want to kill the queen and the eldest prince together.”
“That’s why there are two toxins on the Queen’s body.” Di Shengyue nodded clearly, “One is for the emperor, and the other is for you to counterbalance.”
Concubine Rou nodded and continued: “I once persuaded the empress to turn against this dog emperor and forget it. The emperor is suspicious and sluggish, which can be compared to the empress. But the empress is kind. She told me that the country of Xiao had just gone through continuous wars, and if there was another civil strife at this moment, it would only allow neighboring countries to take advantage of the emptiness, and then the life would be ruined, and the people would not be able to live. She didn’t want to see such a scene. Later she knew this After she became a prince, she became even more firm about this idea. She said that rebellion is a very long process, and it will take many years.
When Di Shengyue heard this, she couldn’t help but admire the foresight of the Empress.
Concubine Rou looked out the window, her eyes distant and full of sadness: “So, I deliberately seduced the emperor, pretending to be at odds with the empress, and fighting against the empress. And pretending to be pregnant, I Proficient in medicine, it is not difficult to fake pregnancy. When the Queen Mother gives birth, I will also pretend to give birth…”
“Secretly replace the younger brother.” Xiao Yinxue couldn’t help but pick up the rest of the content, her throat was a little dry, “The mother’s postpartum weakness, the father took the opportunity to kill her…”
One sentence, like a drumstick, hit Xiao Yinxue’s heart hard.
“You said… what?” Xiao Yinxue looked at Concubine Rou in disbelief.
Even Di Shengyue frowned and looked at Concubine Rou quietly.
Concubine Rou hooked her lips mockingly and looked at the two of them: “How do you think, a palace maid in my district, how did you get to the concubine position in one step? Of course, it was because I stood in front of the emperor and stood up. Great work.”
Concubine Rou suddenly laughed, her smile icy cold.
“You!” Xiao Yinxue listened, her eyes were already red.
The emperor will not let the queen go. No matter how the queen will die, it is better to take this opportunity to do meritorious service in front of the emperor in exchange for an identity that can protect the eldest prince.
Xiao Yinxue naturally understands this.
But that’s my mother!
She couldn’t help herself not to hate Concubine Rou.
Xiao Yinxue felt that the atmosphere in this palace was very heavy, and she couldn’t stay any longer.
She suddenly got up from the chair and rushed out of the palace.
Di Shengyue got the answer she wanted, and did not keep it any longer, chasing Xiao Yinxue out of the palace.
Concubine Rou didn’t even look up at the back of the two.
She just looked at the teacup in her hand.
Drop by drop of water fell into the tea, causing ripples.
Rou Fei walked to the window, there was an empty flower pot, and the circumference of the flower pot was extremely smooth.
Concubine Rou stroked the edge of the flowerpot gently, as if looking at the person she loved deeply, her eyes were affectionate and full of love: “Wait for me, soon, everything will end soon already.”
