Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate - Chapter 123
Jiang Yunzhu was taken aback when he saw the white jade hairpin. Has he always kept this hairpin with him?
Indeed, Shen Fengming kept carrying it with him and wanted to give it to her, but he was afraid that she would not accept it.
So now, does she want it?
He was a little nervous. Yes, he is indeed tense, like a kid.
Jiang Yunzhu hesitated, “Yes.” She agreed.
When the summer wind blew, Shen Fengming’s face was full of smiles, and he inserted the white jade hairpin into her hair.
The warm white jade hairpin complements the blue hair perfectly.
It looks good, the hairpin is good-looking, and the person is also good-looking, Shiliu was thinking by the side, if Dudu Shen wasn’t by the side, she would have cried out a long time ago.
Shen Fengming also thought it looked good, and raised his eyebrows and eyes lightly.
He had breakfast with Jiang Yunzhu before leaving.
After leaving the restaurant, his expression immediately became cold and severe. He couldn’t imagine what would have happened if Jiang Yunzhu hadn’t escaped yesterday. How happy he was just now, how angry he is now.
“Captain!” A group of Qilin guards had been waiting for him.
Shen Fengming immediately got on his horse and went to the palace. He would pry open the mouth of that **** yesterday.
Soon, he arrived at the Compassion Palace.
“Master Shen, the Empress Dowager asked me to hand over these four people to you.” Nanny Qi had been waiting for Shen Fengming at the gate of the palace, and when she saw him coming, she pointed to the four people who were **** next to her.
All four of them had their jaws removed and their hands and feet bound, making it impossible for them to commit suicide.
One of the four was the **** from yesterday, and there was another court lady. If Jiang Yunzhu was there, she would be able to recognize immediately that she was the court lady who brought her food yesterday.
The four of them were scared out of their wits. Some exchanged tears, regretting what they did yesterday, while others were full of despair, wishing for a quick death.
It’s a pity that when they entered the Zhen Fusi, they wanted to die, but they couldn’t die.
The empress dowager was indeed still an empress dowager, even though she had neglected the palace affairs for so many years, she took action and quickly caught all the spies in the palace of compassion.
“Mommy, thank the imperial grandmother for me.” Shen Fengming said.
“Yes. The empress dowager also said that if there is a result, tell her that the palace has been peaceful for too long.” Qi Nanny said.
Shen Fengming immediately understood what she meant, “Yes.”
Afterwards, he referred the four to the Zhenfu Division.
In just the time for a cup of tea, the four of them explained everything. They are the ones that Concubine Wu placed in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Xiao Liyu asked them to do what happened yesterday, and it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Lin Ting’an.
He was there by chance.
Coincidence? Shen Fengming got up and went into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.
In Chonghua Palace, Xiao Liyu didn’t sleep last night, and now she is depressed. She thought yesterday would develop as she expected, Shen Fengming saw Jiang Yunzhu having **** with another man, and then killed her in a fit of rage. Or, no matter how bad it is, it’s okay to dislike her.
But who would have thought that Jiang Yunzhu, a woman, could kill a strong guard and escape.
The plan failed completely.
It’s fine if it’s just like this, but after yesterday’s incident, the Compassionate Ning Palace saw that everything was normal, but there was no news about it, so it’s not worrying.
What happened yesterday, Xiao Liyu did it without telling Concubine Wu Gui, what if… Xiao Liyu became more and more uneasy the more she thought about it.
At this time, the empress dowager had already understood the whole story, she still said peacefully, “Please come here, Your Majesty.”
“Yes.” Nanny Qi withdrew and invited Emperor Qinglong.
After a while, Emperor Qinglong came to greet the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager ignored his greeting and said directly to Shen Fengming, “Fengming, tell me.”
Emperor Qinglong knew immediately that the Empress Dowager was angry. Who is it that made the empress dowager angry? He stood up straight and looked at Shen Fengming.
Shen Fengming presented yesterday’s incident together with the confessions of those four people to him.
After Emperor Qinglong read it, it was actually Xiao Liyu’s design to frame Jiang Yunzhu. He had a good impression of Jiang Yunzhu, but it was far from the level where he would be angry because of her. However, after reading the case file, he remembered an incident before.
His favorite Su Jieyu a few days ago, he went to her palace that day with great interest, but saw her having **** with a guard, he was so angry that he immediately killed her with a stick.
Now look at how similar that incident is to this one.
Emperor Qinglong also came through the storm, and when he thought about it again, he immediately remembered a lot of suspicious things, and he didn’t understand, he was being plotted against.
Dare to plot against him! Emperor Qinglong immediately became angry and shouted loudly, “Bring that **** and the ten princesses here.”
Concubine Wu Gui felt her eyebrows twitching since yesterday, as if something bad was about to happen. She carefully recalled the events of these days, and she didn’t think there was anything missing.
Just then, the guards came to arrest him.
“Why did the emperor arrest me, what did I do wrong?” She said calmly, full of aura.
Until she saw Xiao Liyu being brought out, her face was full of panic, her heart skipped a beat.
The two were quickly taken to the Compassion Palace.
“My concubine pays respects to the emperor and the empress dowager.” Concubine Wu was worried, but she didn’t show it at all.
Compared with her, Xiao Liyu is far behind. She was also saluting, but trembling, with a guilty conscience.
“Bitch.” Emperor Qing Long slapped the table and scolded.
With this sentence, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling, Concubine Wu Gui’s face instantly turned from red to white. For so many years, Emperor Qinglong had never said harsh words to her, but today, he called her a “bitch”, which made her not startled.
“Your Majesty, I don’t know how I have offended you, I am really terrified.” Concubine Wu quickly fell to her knees and said aggrievedly.
“You don’t know, I think you understand it in your heart!” Emperor Qinglong said angrily.
Concubine Wu still looked wronged.
Of course, Emperor Qinglong would not say that he was being calculated, as it would damage his dignity, he threw the case file presented to him by Shen Fengming on Concubine Wu, and let her read it by herself.
When Concubine Wu Guifei saw it, she was shocked. At this moment, she finally understood why Xiao Liyu had such an expression, and why Emperor Qinglong was so angry. She really regretted and hated, regretted that she loved Xiao Liyu too much, and hated how Xiao Liyu was so stupid.
The same trick was used twice, for fear that others would not suspect you!
But it was too late to say anything at this time. What Xiao Liyu did was irrefutable because of the witness and material evidence.
She immediately admitted her mistake, saying that she had not taught Xiao Liyu well, and she was willing to accept any punishment. But never mention anything about Su Jieyu.
Emperor Qinglong didn’t want to mention it either, but those who should be punished must be punished.
Concubine Wu, who has no way to teach her daughters, removed the position of concubine and was demoted to Concubine Wu.
Xiao Liyu, as a princess, did such an absurd thing. She was demoted from Princess Yuyang to Princess Yuxin.
Princesses also have ranks. According to the Xia Dynasty’s practice, the princesses born by the queen are extremely noble, and there will be a “Yang” in the title.
Concubine Wu was favored. Although Xiao Liyu was not a direct descendant, Emperor Qinglong made an exception and granted her the title of Princess Yuyang, but now she has been demoted to Princess Yuxin. At the same time, she was fined to be grounded for half a year and to copy the “Woman’s Precepts” every day until she corrected herself.
This punishment is not insignificant, especially for Concubine Wu, who was demoted from a noble concubine to a concubine, and her treatment was worlds apart. In particular, this seems to be a signal that Concubine Wu is about to fall out of favor, so the sixth prince?
Concubine Wu Gui panicked now, how could the emperor be so heartless! She worked so hard for so many years to sit on the imperial concubine’s position, but she disappeared overnight, how could she do it.
She wanted to intercede with the emperor, but Emperor Qinglong didn’t want to listen to her anymore and kicked her out directly.
Concubine Wu Gui returned to Chonghua Palace and slapped Xiao Liyu on the face. She stared at her bitterly, if she wasn’t her own daughter, she would definitely kill her.
Xiao Liyu covered her face, also lost her mind, how could this happen.
“Starting tomorrow, you will stay in the palace and copy books for me,” said Wu Guifei. She no longer expects her to help, but just waits for an opportunity to marry her off and let her fulfill her obligations as a princess.
Xiao Liyu feels wronged in her heart, but dare not speak.
This matter quickly spread throughout the palace and the capital, and everyone wondered why the emperor suddenly disliked Concubine Wu.
Some people said that it seemed to be related to Qilin Wei.
Governor Shen, everyone thought to themselves, but no one dared to say it. If it is related to that person, it is really possible.
Thinking of the **** storm in the capital city last year, everyone shuddered. Is the capital city going to have another turmoil?
At this time, in the Palace of Compassion, Emperor Qinglong had already left, only the Empress Dowager and Shen Fengming were left.
The empress dowager asked Shen Fengming to sit down, and said slowly, “Yesterday, you and Yunrong County Lord…” She knew that Jiang Yunzhu took that kind of medicine yesterday, and it was Shen Fengming who took her away in the end, then he and Jiang Yunzhu…
Shen Fengming knew what she wanted to ask, and said directly, “Grandmother, I don’t want to belittle her.” Then he solemnly knelt down, “I beg Grandmother to be the master and give us a marriage.”
He already knew Jiang Yunzhu’s intentions, so he wanted to ask the empress dowager to marry him and be with her forever.
When the empress dowager heard the first sentence, her face was still calm, but when she heard the latter sentence, she frowned. Jiang Yunzhu invited doctors to offer medicines for her, she liked her very much, if Shen Fengming wanted to marry her as his concubine, she would immediately agree.
But the wife…selfishly speaking, she felt that Shen Fengming deserved better.
“Grandmother, you know, I don’t care about status.” Shen Fengming said.
“I know.” The empress dowager stretched out her hand to support him. She knew that he didn’t like those rights and interests, so she loved him very much and liked him. But it was also because of this that she felt…
“Imperial Grandmother, I only like her.” Shen Fengming said to the Empress Dowager word by word without getting up, letting her know his thoughts.
There may be many good girls in this world, they may be beautiful, they may be beautiful, but what does it have to do with him, he just likes her and wants to be with her.
When you see her, you will feel joy, and feel that life seems to have glory.
Thinking of Jiang Yunzhu, Shen Fengming’s expression changed unconsciously, it was no longer so cold, and there seemed to be stars shining in his eyes.
The empress dowager had never seen him like this before, and was stunned for a moment.
Shen Fengming never begged her, nor told her that what he wanted was like a cold knife.
But now, he wanted that girl.
