Chapter 345 Song Lao Er is dead

The emperor said so much and explained so much, but Pei Ji knew when to stop and nodded.

"I know I was wrong. I will go back and reflect on my mistakes. I will follow the emperor's arrangements in everything."

The emperor waved his hands, as if to drive away the plague god, "Go away, go away, don't get in my way."

"yes."

The eunuch laughed and said, "Master Pei is really very different from before."

The emperor looked at him and said, "You've noticed it too."

"Yes. Lord Pei is much more human now. When he was alive before, he always seemed cold and indifferent, even when talking to the emperor. Now, for the sake of the young lady of the Song family, he dares to challenge the emperor."

The eunuch dared to say this because he knew very well that the emperor had no suspicion of Pei Ji, and was even very tolerant of him because of past events.

The emperor was indeed helpless and glanced at him, "You also know that he is very disrespectful."

"Oh, this servant feels that Master Pei trusts the Emperor and relies on Him. He doesn't act like this in front of others, not even in front of Old Master Pei."

The emperor's expression was indeed delighted. For someone in his position, being trusted wholeheartedly was naturally something he found even more precious.

"He's reckless and acts rashly. He needs to change."

The taste is a bit more indulgent.

Finally, just when he thought the emperor would stop talking, he said, "The little girl was frightened, and the people of the Song family were also frightened. Order them to be rewarded."

"Then, how does the Emperor intend to close this case?"

"Kill the offenders, and then send people to the imperial concubine's family to give them a warning. They are relying on Prince Yu and are acting lawless. Send someone else and tell them that the emperor is in better spirits recently, and the power to manage the harem should still be given to the queen."

The eunuch clicked his tongue. If the imperial concubine knew that she had lost more than she gained and suffered such a huge loss, would she regret targeting the young lady from the Song family?

In the imperial concubine's palace, servants were helping her with her dressing. On the table was placed the latest style of ruby ​​hairpins. Each ruby ​​was dazzling and not an ordinary item.

"This set of jewelry was a tribute. It seems that there is only this set. The emperor gave it to the imperial concubine as a reward." The maid said flatteringly.

The imperial concubine smiled. She was gorgeous, cheerful, and dressed elegantly and luxuriously, making it impossible to take your eyes off her.

"You know how to make me happy with your mouth."

"I'm not trying to please the Imperial Concubine. Everyone knows that the Emperor dotes on you. His Royal Highness Prince Yu has a bright future ahead of him. He's nothing like that other man, who is old and faded, and whose children are useless."

The nanny next to her glared at her, thinking that her words were an act of presumption.

The imperial concubine did not take it seriously, but smiled happily, "Don't talk nonsense, people might hear it." But her tone was not harsh.

The maid continued to talk about some random things, and the imperial concubine was shaking with joy, but someone came in. It was the eunuch beside the emperor, Eunuch Luo.

"Why are you here at this time, eunuch? Has the emperor had breakfast yet?"

Eunuch Luo bowed, but his expression was not as smiling as before, and the imperial concubine felt something was wrong.

"Your Highness, I have come here today with a message from the Emperor."

"What are you talking about?"

Eunuch Luo: "The Emperor said that it was because the Empress was in poor health that the power of the harem was handed over to the Imperial Concubine. Now that the Empress is well, the Emperor will still have the final say on matters concerning the harem."

The imperial concubine tried her best to suppress her anger, "Eunuch, do you know why the emperor suddenly gave such an order?" She winked at her maid, who handed her a thick purse.

It’s a pity that Eunuch Luo didn’t answer.

"I don't know about this matter. I think the imperial concubine will know it soon. I have delivered the message. I will go back and report first." After saying this, he left with his men regardless of the imperial concubine's attempt to keep him.

The imperial concubine was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't find the problem.

"Could it be that the Emperor suddenly remembered his past relationship with that old woman? Is that why he sent people to bully me?"

The nanny advised, "My lady, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. You can't say that."

The imperial concubine was even more furious: "This whole palace is full of my people, who dares to tell anyone?"

The palace maid just now fanned the flames and said, "Madam, you are too cautious. The queen is in a bad mood. Why don't I serve her?" As she said that, she squeezed forward to serve tea and water.

After saying a few more words on behalf of the imperial concubine, her complexion finally looked much better.

"Madam, the queen's bird's nest is still stewing, why don't you go and take a look."

The nanny's face darkened and she was about to scold when she saw the imperial concubine's cold eyes and her heart suddenly turned cold.

"yes."

After saying this, the man left, and the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief.

"I really don't like listening to her. Now, in the whole palace, everyone has to look at my face. But she keeps asking me to be careful with my words and actions. It's so annoying."

Maid: "His Royal Highness Prince Yu is favored by the Emperor, and the Imperial Concubine is the most important person in the harem. Anyone who dares to make the Imperial Concubine angry shall die."

The imperial concubine's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at her with a smile: "Your personality is quite to my liking. You will stay by my side and serve me from now on."

"Yes!" The maid looked extremely happy.

In the end, the sensational fraud case ended with the deaths of several servants. The emperor said to the outside world that it was the jealousy of these servants that led them to commit the crime.

After hearing this, Song Ci said, "Jealous? People in the palace are different from those outside. What's there to be jealous of?"

She didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knew how dissatisfied she was with the outcome of the case.

Song Lan smiled and comforted him, "I, your brother, am blessed with a long life and good fortune. I will definitely have good fortune in the future. Just because something is put aside doesn't mean there won't be another opportunity in the future."

Qiao Yu: "What are you thinking about? You've lost so much weight, you should eat some more."

Her tone was already that of a lady.

Song Ci smiled, thinking that their good fortune would soon come to fruition. Qiao Yu really liked Song Lan, and she was happy to see it happen. When the two of them got together, even the usually quiet Qiao Yu became more talkative.

"I drank all the soup you made. Not a drop was left."

Qiao Yu glanced at Song Ci first, and then realized that she was distracted, and glared at Song Lan, "What nonsense are you talking about."

Knowing that she was shy, Song Lan's smile was indeed much more restrained.

Sure enough, half a month later, the Song family announced good news.

Song Lan and Qiao Yu are engaged. The two families have exchanged their horoscopes and engagement letters, and they are a match made in heaven.

At this point, the two of them had a clear path forward, and the servants also knew that this beautiful and quiet eldest daughter of the Qiao family would be the young lady of the Song family in the future.

Song Ci ordered people to take out the furs in the box and pack them up, but he heard a message from outside that Song Lao Er was dead.

Many people went to watch the execution this morning. Song Ying even fainted in the crowd from crying. She had already passed out. The Liang family waited for a long time before someone came to carry her back.

"It seems that the Liang family has already regarded Song Ying as a discarded pawn."

"She was stupid and acted like the first to do something wrong, yet the young lady still feels sorry for her." Wanxiang muttered softly.

"I don't feel sorry for her, I just think the Liang family is inhumane. Song Ying's child is gone, and they want her life."

The Liang family didn't give her any news. How could she know that her father was going to be executed in the backyard of the house?
