Chapter 19: Why not just kill her to prevent future troubles?
The queen was not surprised to hear this. The little fairies in the harem were all good at changing their attitude according to the situation.
It was obvious that this Cairen Sun was the same as the two nobles mentioned before. She changed her tone temporarily when she saw that she was in front of His Majesty. But since she wanted to apologize, let's listen.
The Queen looked at Sun Cairen and asked with a smile, "Why are you asking for forgiveness when everything is fine?"
Sun Cairen was thinking quickly in his mind.
She had been planning for a long time, and she could not tell anyone about the incident that she had fallen from the tree when His Majesty was passing by. Not to mention plotting against His Majesty, just asking about His Majesty's whereabouts, if she pursued it further, it would be a capital crime with the death penalty.
She bribed a young eunuch from her hometown and asked him to work for the young eunuchs around His Majesty, but she couldn't say that. Although everyone did this behind the scenes, she couldn't bring the matter of pulling the people around His Majesty out in the open. If she told the truth, not only would she be in trouble, but she would also implicate a bunch of people.
Also, the incident in which she framed the Imperial Concubine and was killed by her has not happened yet. People's minds are unpredictable, so she'd better not talk about it for now. All she needs to do is be more careful in the future and not mess with the Imperial Concubine.
In a flash, Sun Cairen made up her mind and said respectfully, "I was bullied by my two elder sisters, Yue Guiren and Fang Guiren, and I felt resentful. I knelt on the road with a sullen breath, hoping that if your Majesty heard about it, he would stand up for me. I am narrow-minded, so I beg the Empress to punish me."
The queen smiled and nodded, "You are young, and it is inevitable that you will lose your temper when you suffer some injustice. It is not a big mistake. Stand up and talk."
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty." Sun Cairen thanked the emperor but refused to stand up. "I shouldn't have come to Your Majesty to complain after suffering a little injustice. I disturbed Your Majesty and Your Majesty."
I'm glad to know. Queen: "It's okay, get up."
It seemed that she had escaped. Sun Cairen felt relieved and thanked her again. This time, she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something else to report."
"Xiaojiu, you are a clever ghost. Hahaha." In the inner hall, no one knows what Xiaojiu did to make His Majesty laugh out loud.
The queen was afraid that she would miss some important information, so she urged impatiently, "Go ahead."
When Sun Cairen heard the voice of a child coming from inside, she was stunned. Then she realized that the voice of the child in the conversation she had heard before was exactly that of the Ninth Princess.
She took a step forward and lowered her voice to a very low voice: "Your Majesty, a strange thing happened to me. It has something to do with the Ninth Princess. Today, I was at..."
Sun Cairen was a little emotional and told what he had heard about the conversation between the two people.
But he didn't say the content of the conversation. He just said that he was frightened at the time and was in a trance for a moment and didn't hear clearly what was said.
This is a lie. The Queen nodded slightly: "I already know about Xiaojiu's matter."
Sun Cairen was stunned. Queen, do you know?
No wonder the Queen remained calm and composed throughout her entire conversation, her expression unchanged. It turned out that she already knew.
She asked anxiously, "Empress, could the Imperial Concubine also hear the conversation between the Ninth Princess and the man?"
This Sun Cairen is not stupid. The Queen did not hide it from her: "Your Majesty, I and the Royal Concubine can both do it."
Sun Guiren felt a chill down his spine and a layer of cold sweat broke out.
Earlier, on the path beside the Yu Garden, when the Ninth Princess and the mysterious man were talking in hiding somewhere, the Royal Concubine and the maids and nannies beside her were all calm and composed, without showing any surprise at all.
At that time, she thought that no one else present could hear it, and she was the only one who could hear it. It turned out that they had known it for a long time, which was why they were so calm.
She had originally thought that if no one heard it, she would keep it secret, but who knew that the Imperial Concubine actually heard it with her own ears.
Sun Cairen was filled with fear, and the Imperial Concubine heard it but didn't take any action to punish her. Was it because she was too lazy to bother with such a small matter, or was she going to wait for the right opportunity in the future to do something ruthless to her?
Thinking of the Royal Concubine's cruel methods, Concubine Sun shuddered.
She knelt again and raised her hands to the sky: "Your Majesty, please be wise. I swear that I have absolutely no intention of harming anyone, let alone the Imperial Concubine."
The Queen believed this at this moment.
As a newcomer to the harem, who doesn't want to be a clean person? Back then, she was full of passion and enthusiasm for His Majesty and this huge harem.
However, situations will change, and people's hearts will change too.
She believed that Concubine Sun had no intention of harming the Emperor and Concubine at the moment, but who could guarantee that she would still be like this a year later?
Over the years, she had seen countless people and could tell at a glance that Sun Cairen was completely different from Rupin, and was also different from He Yue Guiren and Fang Guiren.
Rupin is a timid quail. As long as she can eat well and dress well, she would rather not have to worry about anything.
Those two nobles seemed to be good at acting, but they were not very cunning. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fought in secret and then fought each other after the secrets were exposed. That was just two fun things.
Their tricks can only help them pretend to be virtuous and win favor in front of the blind emperor. In her eyes, it is not worth watching.
But Sun Cairen is an ambitious person who is unwilling to be mediocre.
When she fell from a tree in Yu Garden yesterday, His Majesty happened to pass by and caught her.
If you think about this "just right" in detail, you will find that there is a lot of knowledge involved. Without courage, connections, and scheming, nothing can be accomplished.
According to the original plot, she was just conferred the title of Talented Lady yesterday, and today she dared to ask for her Jasmine Flower. It can be seen that she is extremely courageous.
If Sun Cairen is given a chance, she will definitely do her best to climb up.
Therefore, let alone harming the Imperial Concubine, if the Empress could be brought down, this Concubine Sun would probably take action.
Otherwise, while she is still a young talent, find some excuse to send her to the cold palace?
Or, just kill her to prevent future troubles?
Seeing that the empress didn't say anything and just looked at her with a smile, Sun Cairen broke out in a cold sweat.
She has already confessed and sworn to heaven, so doesn't the queen believe her?
The two looked at each other for a moment. Sun Cairen could not bear it anymore, so he lowered his head and fell to the ground.
"Xiaojiu, you little bastard, you are making trouble." Emperor Wen Zhao laughed again.
What were the father and daughter doing? The Queen's train of thought was interrupted, and she turned around to take a look inside.
When she turned around again, she saw Sun Cairen, who was only a few years older than the Seventh Princess, kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt very bored.
She waved her hand and said, "Get up. I trust you. Go back and reflect on your mistakes for a month. Go back now. I have things to do."
Although he could not see His Majesty for a month, Sun Cai felt much more at ease after being punished. He kowtowed to express his gratitude, then stood up and left.
The queen called Liang Quan in and ordered, "If any concubine comes again, tell them that I have something to ask Your Majesty, and they will all be stopped." Liang Quan agreed.
The queen turned around and entered the inner hall, where she saw the father and daughter still sitting in front of the chessboard playing chess. The chessboard looked like it had just been set. She smiled and asked, "What's wrong with our little Jiu? How did she make your father so happy?"
Emperor Wen Zhao answered first, "Empress, look at this little bad boy Xiaojiu. I taught her with good intentions, but she messed up the chessboard when she couldn't play."
The queen walked up to Ji Jinyou, touched her little head, and praised her with a smile: "That's our smart little Jiu."
Seeing the queen coming back, Ji Jinyou breathed a sigh of relief, threw away the chess piece, and reached out to the queen: "Hold me, madam."
After all, I complained to the system in my heart: [Your Majesty is so childish. I have been coaxing him for so long. I need to take a break.]
System: [That's right, our Youzi is really exhausted. ]
The fuzzy little girl said this in a condescending manner, which made the emperor and the empress laugh. The empress reached out and took the little girl into her arms and rubbed her.
The Queen stood behind Xiaojiu and looked at His Majesty to ask if he had said anything important just now.
His Majesty shook his head, pointed outside, and silently asked Sun Cairen what he was doing there.
The queen silently pleaded guilty.
Emperor Wen Zhao was still new to this new talent and was curious about what crime she had committed. However, when he thought of what Tong Tong had mentioned about the jasmine flower, he did not dare to ask more questions for fear of upsetting the empress.
Youyou lay in the queen's arms and yawned: [Everyone, I haven't had lunch yet. I'm sleepy again, but I still have to make His Majesty and the Queen happy. ]
[Wait a minute, Youzi.] The system flipped through the plot: [I have something interesting here. How about I tell you about it to cheer you up?]
Youyou put her fist in front of her mouth and yawned again, "Okay."
The system first chuckled twice: [In today's plot, it was about this time, there was a commotion in Furong Palace, the Imperial Concubine drove everyone out, closed the palace door, and personally chased the Sixth Prince with a broom.]
