"In fact, I really loved the emperor at the beginning," Concubine Shu sat on the chair, her tone suddenly changed, "but later your mother plotted against me. You are her son, so I can't help but hate you."
She knew that the emperor was innocent, but she couldn't help but hate her.
"It's okay," the emperor said calmly.
"Do you think I'm saying this to get you to let me go?"
Concubine Shu stood up, propped up the table, and glanced at Xiao Shize lying on the ground. "Your Majesty, please deal with it."
"Your Majesty, the Concubine Dowager knows nothing. Please forgive her."
Lu'er begged in a low voice, kowtowing as she begged.
Having accompanied the Concubine Dowager in the imperial mausoleum for so many years, she knew that the Concubine Dowager had a harder life than anyone else.
The emperor stood up and said, "From today on, Concubine Shu will be imprisoned here. No one is allowed to approach without my order."
After saying that, he looked at Tian Lan and Chen Meiren.
"Tian Lan first deceived the emperor and then attempted to murder me. He will be punished according to the laws of Tianqi and executed in three days."
Since Luo'er said that it was this person in the original book who caused him to be controlled by drugs, he cannot be lenient, otherwise the changes Luo'er made will lose their meaning.
When Tian Lan heard her punishment, she was not afraid at all. The moment she failed, she knew she would not survive. However, with Concubine Shu and Xiao Shize by her side, life and death did not matter to her.
Concubine Chen was so nervous that her hands began to tremble. Concubine Shu was imprisoned, Tian Lan was executed, and now it was her turn.
"As for Concubine Chen, you tricked the little princess into giving her the jade pendant and falsely conveying my order to release the convicted criminal Tian Lan. This is truly treasonous. I will punish you with white silk."
After dealing with a few people, he spoke to the concubines who were taking care of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I'm so glad you're okay. I was so worried about you."
"Yes, I went to attend to the emperor before. I couldn't sleep well without seeing the emperor."
Yu Yiluo rolled her eyes.
[I knew these people were just second-guessing.]
The emperor glanced at the people who were talking.
"So do I have to reward you with something?"
They were startled and quickly said, "No, no, we are worried that the emperor won't be able to sleep well. But Empress Xian and the others didn't even bother to look at you, Your Majesty. It's a shame that you are so kind to them."
"Confusing right and wrong?"
The emperor's face darkened. "Do you think I don't know what you're doing just because I'm in Qingxin Palace? Put away those shameful little thoughts in your hearts and get back to copying Buddhist scriptures."
Several people didn't dare to breathe and just answered yes obediently.
She regretted in her heart why she brought up this matter at this juncture. Concubine Shu had already been defeated by the emperor, so it was indeed unwise for them to do so.
[Dad's tea tasting skills are quite good, but you guys are really overestimating your abilities.]
[Concubine Shu, Xiao Shize, and Tian Lan are all offline, so this plot point should be over.]
【I can have a good Chinese New Year this year. 】
…
Everyone else in the room had left, and Concubine Shu seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.
"Toffee, what's wrong with you?"
Lu'er helped her sit down, wiped her tears, and looked in the direction she was looking at Xiao Shize lying on the ground.
"Don't be sad, Toffee. It's not worth being sad for such a person."
Concubine Shu stood up with a wry smile, slowly walked towards Xiao Shize's body, and squatted beside him.
He raised his hand to touch his cold face, then slapped him hard.
"Why are you still alive? Why?"
She thought this man was dead all these years, so she could deceive herself. Although this man approached her with a purpose, he might not have no feelings for her at all.
In order to help the Xiao family take revenge, she kept scheming after entering the palace, but this person was right next to her but she didn't tell him.
Concubine Shu started laughing while crying, and slapped Xiao Shize hard in the face.
This man didn't tell her simply because he was afraid that she would not avenge the Xiao family if she knew he was still alive. She should understand that this man had no feelings for her and only wanted to use her.
Why is he still alive? Why didn't he die seven years ago? Why is he still alive and destroying her fantasies over the years?
"Toffee, please get up quickly. The ground is cold."
Concubine Shu did not stand up, but slowly raised her eyes and looked at Lu'er.
"Lu'er, tell me what I've been calculating all these years?"
"Toffee, it's not worth it for him."
"Yeah," Concubine Shu's eyes wandered, "It's not worth it, not worth it at all."
As happy as she was when the prince took off the man's human skin mask, she was also disappointed when she saw the undisguised disgust in his eyes.
The one she should hate is Xiao Shize.
Concubine Shu sat on the ground for a while, then said in a hoarse voice, "Lu'er, go get me a pot of hot tea."
"Okay," Lu'er helped her up and hurried out to make hot tea.
When she brought back the hot tea, Concubine Shu, who was sitting on the chair, had fallen to the ground at some point, with blood still flowing from her forehead.
"Toffee, Toffee."
Lu'er put down the hot tea and picked up Concubine Shu from the ground.
"Don't you want Lu'er anymore? Wake up."
Concubine Shu slowly opened her eyelids and said in a low voice: "Lu'er, don't cry, live well."
"Toffee," watching her eyes gradually close, Lu'er shook her in a sad voice, "How can Lu'er live well now that you are gone?"
"Didn't you say that my personality is not suitable for the palace?"
Lu'er put Concubine Shu down and stood up to pick up the broken pieces of the teapot on the ground.
"Wait a minute, Lu'er will be here to accompany you."
…
The next day.
When the ministers learned what Concubine Shu had done and Xiao Shize's identity, they were shocked and angry.
Some even thought that the emperor's punishment of simply imprisoning Concubine Shu was too lenient.
